EDT Tuesday, September 26, 1995 STATE AND METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: AUGUST 1995 Unemployment rates were lower in August 1995 than a month earlier in 24 states and the District of Columbia, higher in 17 states, and unchanged in 9 states, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The national unemployment rate was 5.6 percent in August, essentially unchanged from 5.7 percent in July. Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 38 states over the month. State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) Minnesota had the largest jobless rate decrease between July and August--0.9 percentage point. Florida and Louisiana, both down 0.6 point, were the only other states to show unemployment rate declines of more than half a percentage point. Illinois and New York experienced the largest over-the-month increases in their jobless rates--both up 0.9 percentage point. For Illinois, this was the second large increase in a row, following a 1.4 point decline in June. Three other states--Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas--also had increases of more than 0.5 percentage point. Over the year, 36 states experienced unemployment rate declines. Twelve states had drops of a percentage point or more, led by Louisiana and Wisconsin (both down 1.6 points). Rates in an additional eight states decreased by more than 0.5 point. Montana registered the largest rate increase over the year, 0.9 percentage point; it was the only state with a rate increase of more than 0.5 point. Nebraska once again had the lowest unemployment rate in the nation, at 2.4 percent in August, followed by Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota (all 2.8 percent). Ten other states had rates of less than 4.5 percent. At 8.8 percent, the District of Columbia had the highest rate, followed by West Virginia (8.2 percent) and California (7.8 percent). Overall, 33 states had jobless rates below the U.S. average, while 16 states and the District of Columbia had higher rates. (See table 1 and chart 1.) Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Nonfarm payroll employment showed moderately broad gains in August, with 38 states recording increases over the month. West Virginia and Wyoming reported the largest percentage increases (both 1.2 percent), followed by Rhode Island (1.0 percent) and Oklahoma and New Mexico (both 0.7 percent). Hawaii once again had the largest percentage decline (-0.3 percent). - 2 - Employment improved in both the goods-producing sector and the service-producing sector in two-thirds of the states. More than four- fifths of the states showed gains in services, and employment rose in about two-thirds of the states in construction and in trade and in about half of the states in manufacturing; transportation and public utilities; finance, insurance, and real estate; and government. Over the year, 46 states experienced increases in employment, with the largest percentage gains occurring in the Mountain division. Employment increases ranged from 6.2 percent in Utah to 0.2 percent in Pennsylvania. Texas added the most jobs over the year, nearly 250,000. The District of Columbia (-2.4 percent) had the largest over-the-year decline, reflecting reductions in government employment, followed by Hawaii (-1.2 percent). (See chart 2.) NOTE: Monthly payroll employment data are provided on a seasonally adjusted basis for all states and the District of Columbia, permitting both current and over-the-year comparisons of the data. The state data are intended for individual state analyses only. Because the state data are not designed for national aggregation, a summation could present a misleading picture of national trends. (See Technical Note.) Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) Of the 271 areas for which August data are available, 104 had unemployment rates below 4.5 percent, while 25 had rates higher than 7.5 percent. The lowest rates were in Madison, Wis. (1.4 percent), and Fargo- Moorhead, N.D., (1.8 percent). McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Tex., had the highest unemployment rate (18.4 percent), followed by Laredo, Tex. (15.1 percent). Youngstown-Warren, Ohio, experienced the largest over-the-year drop in its jobless rate (2.4 percentage points), followed by Lake Charles, La., and Racine, Wis. (both 2.3 points). Rates in 53 other areas declined by 1.0 percentage point or more. Laredo, Tex., had the largest over-the- year increase, as its rate climbed 7.1 points. Seven other areas had rate increases of 1.0 percentage point or more, but none changed by more than 1.3 points.
