ARKANSASLABOR MARKET REPORT

w w w.d i scove r. a r ka n sa s .g ov

The Arkansas Labor Market is prepared monthly in conjunction with the U.S. Depart-ment of Labor, Bu-reau of Labor Statis-tics (BLS). The current month’s estimates are preliminary, while pre-vious month’s data is subject to revision.

Estimates of nonfarm payroll jobs show the number of jobs by industry and reflect employment by place of work. Hours and earnings estimates are based on payroll and worker-hour data col-lected for production workers in manufactur-ing industries.

Industries are classi-fied according to the North American In-dustry Classification System (NAICS). All estimates are based on a first quarter 2019 benchmark.

Explanation of Terms and Concepts

Monthly Business

Survey of Employers

A monthly sample sur-vey designed to pro-vide industry infor-mation on nonfarm payroll jobs. Data are compiled each month from mail surveys and telephone interviews conducted by the Bu-reau of Labor Statistics in cooperation with Department of Work-force Services. The data are based on establish-ment records and in-clude all workers, full-or part-time, who re-ceived pay during the payroll period which includes the 12th of the month. Approximately

5,000 Arkansas busi-ness establishments are surveyed.

Metropolitan

Statistical Areas

A term applied by the U.S. Office of Manage-ment and Budget to counties that have one or more central cities and that meet specified criteria of population density, commuting patterns and social and economic integration.

Current Population

Survey (CPS)

A monthly sample sur-vey of the population 16 years of age and over, designed to pro-vide data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed. The survey is conduct-ed each month by the Bureau of the Census for BLS. The informa-tion is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about 60,000 households. The data collected are based on the activity reported for the cal-endar week including the 12th of the month. Approximately 800 Arkansas households are represented in the sample survey.

Civilian Labor Force

The sum of all em-ployed and unem-ployed persons 16 years of age or older. Members of the Armed Forces are excluded.

Employment

An estimate of the number of persons who worked any time

for pay or profit or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid work-ers in a family business during the calendar week which includes the 12th of the month. Also included are those who, although not working, had some job attachment and were not looking for work, and persons involved in labor management disputes.

Unemployment

An estimate of the number of persons who did not have a job, but were available for work and actively seek-ing work during the calendar week which includes the 12th of the month.

Unemployment

Rate

The number of unem-ployed as a percentage of the civilian labor force. Unemployment rates are calculated from unrounded data.

Seasonal

Adjustment

A statistical technique applied to monthly data to e l iminate changes that normally occur during the year due to seasonal events such as weather, ma-jor holidays, schedule shifts, harvest times, and the opening/clos-ing of schools.

JUNE SPOTLIGHTJUNE SPOTLIGHTWages in Arkansas

The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) is the most comprehensive data collection program utilized by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The program is based on each state’s Unemploy-ment Insurance (UI) program, which enables BLS to produce data using every business that is covered under UI tax law. In addition to calculating UI covered employment, the program also tracks the wages paid to employees. Due to the extensive nature of the information, data can be produced at any level-- national, statewide, counties, and cities.

The information below comes from the QCEW program and shows annual average wage data for each county in Arkansas. Annual average wages are calculated using the total wages earned during the cal-endar year, divided by annual average employment. The wages below are compiled using all industries in the private sector, for all workers included under UI tax law. It is important to note that QCEW data is based on county of employment, not county of residency. So if an individual works in a different county than where they live, their wages are counted in the county where they work.

In 2019, average annual wages in the private sector ranged from a low of $25,095, for those employed in Newton County, to a high of $63,946 in Benton County. Compared to 2018 annual averages, wages are up in 69 Arkansas counties.

Unemployment Rates - Arkansas vs United States (Seasonally Adjusted)June: 2010 - 2020

Labor force data, produced by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics and released by the Arkansas Division of Workforce Services, show Arkansas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate declined one and six-tenths of a percentage point, from 9.6 percent in May to 8.0 percent in June. May’s unemployment rate was revised up from 9.5 percent to 9.6 percent. Arkansas’ civilian labor force decreased 33,219 in June, a result of 9,297 fewer employed and 23,922 fewer unemployed Arkansans. The United States’ jobless rate decreased over two full percentage points, going from 13.3 percent in May to 11.1 percent in June.

BLS Program Operations Manager Susan Price said, “Despite moving into Phase 2 of reopening in June, there was a notable increase in the number of survey respondents in Arkansas reporting that they were not employed or had dropped out of the labor force. This was due in part to changes in seasonal sum-mer hiring trends and recent temporary layoffs/closures. These reported losses more than offset the hiring that occurred in June.”
