Overview of the labor market in June

Labor Supply

The number of South Dakotans who would be available to staff a new or expanding business, or South Dakota's labor supply, was estimated at 82,265 in June 2011. Included in this labor supply are those who currently hold jobs (and would like to change) and those who, for a variety of reasons, do not have jobs. As a

new feature of the e-Labor Bulletin, this monthly overview of the labor market will now include the following map of labor supply estimates by county.

Labor Force

This data is seasonally adjusted.

Preliminary estimates show the June 2011 South Dakota labor force decreasing by 1,000 over the month, with the level of employed decreasing by 800 workers, and the level of unemployed down by 200.

Nationally, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased to 9.2 percent in June from 9.1 percent in May. The number of unemployed persons, at 14 million, increased over the month by 173,000. The number of people in the labor force also was down in June compared to May.

Over the year, South Dakota's current total labor force of 448,200 is up compared to the level of 443,900 in June 2010. The level of employed increased by 4,000 persons. The level of unemployed was up slightly, by 300.

Notes about labor force data

The unemployment rate represents the number of unemployed as a percent of the labor force. People are classified as unemployed if they do not have jobs, have actively looked for work in the prior four weeks and are currently available for work. People who were not working and were waiting to be recalled to jobs from which they were temporarily laid off are also included as unemployed.

Labor force estimates for South Dakota are produced by the Labor Market Information Center in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The concepts and definitions underlying the labor force data come from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the household survey which is the official measure of the labor force for the nation. The statewide estimate of the number of nonfarm jobs is a component of the model used to produce the labor force estimates. Other data used in this model include the number of continued

unemployment insurance claims and survey data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) which is specific to the state.

Although state specific data is used in the production of the labor force estimates for South Dakota, the state monthly model estimates are controlled in "real time" to sum to national monthly labor force estimates from the CPS. Therefore, variation in the estimates of the employed and unemployed are somewhat controlled by what is happening nationally.

South Dakota Nonfarm Wage & Salaried Workers by Industry

This data is not seasonally adjusted.

Over-the-month comparisons

Based on a monthly survey of South Dakota establishments where employment data is collected for the pay periods that occur during the 12th of the month, preliminary estimates show the total nonfarm wage and salaried workers employment level increased by 7,700 workers (or 1.9 percent) from May 2011 to June 2011. The 1.9 percent gain is one of the strongest May to June gains on record.

Over-the-year comparisons

Over the year, total nonfarm wage and salaried workers increased by 2,700 employees (0.7 percent). Private industry sectors adding the most jobs from June 2010 to June 2011 include manufacturing (1,900 workers or 5.1 percent), and health care and social services (1,200 workers or 2.1 percent).

State government also added workers, increasing by 900 (5.4 percent) jobs. This gain was the result of National Guard members being called in to serve the state with flood preparation and related issues. The largest over-the-year loss came from federal government with a 1,000 (7.8 percent) job loss. Almost all of the federal worker loss was related to the release of temporary workers hired by the U.S. Census Bureau to assist with the 2010 decennial census.
