REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT JANUARY 2011

Regional and state unemployment rates were generally unchanged in January.Twenty-four statesrecorded unemployment rate decreases, 10 states registered rate increases, and 16 states and the District

of Columbia had no change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Thirty-nine states andthe District of Columbia posted unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, 9 states reportedincreases, and 2 states had no change. The national jobless rate fell by 0.4 percentage point between

December 2010 and January 2011 to 9.0 percent, 0.7 point lower than in January 2010.

In January nonfarm payroll employment increased in 35 states and the District of Columbia, and

decreased in 15 states. The largest over-the-month increase in employment occurred in Texas (+44,100),

followed by Michigan (+39,700), Ohio (+31,900), Illinois (+24,500), and California (+22,600). Vermont

experienced the largest over-the-month percent increase in employment (+1.8 percent), followed byMaine (+1.2 percent), Idaho and Michigan (+1.0 percent each), and Montana and North Dakota (+0.7

percent each). The largest over-the-month decrease in employment occurred in Georgia (-15,300),

followed by New Jersey (-13,000), Florida (-12,900), South Carolina (-8,500), and Maryland (-7,100).South Carolina and South Dakota experienced the largest over-the-month percent decreases in

employment (-0.5 percent each), followed by Georgia and Mississippi (-0.4 percent each) and Alabama,

Maryland, New Jersey, and Rhode Island (-0.3 percent each). Over the year, nonfarm employmentincreased in 42 states and the District of Columbia, and decreased in 8 states. The largest over-the-year

percent increase occurred in North Dakota (+4.6 percent), followed by Vermont (+2.7 percent), Texas

(+2.5 percent), and Alaska (+2.4 percent). The largest over-the-year percent decrease in employmentoccurred in Nevada (-0.7 percent), followed by New Jersey (-0.5 percent), Kansas (-0.4 percent), and

Arizona and New Mexico (-0.3 percent each).

Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)

The West reported the highest regional unemployment rate in January, 10.9 percent, while the Northeastand Midwest recorded the lowest rates, 8.4 and 8.5 percent, respectively. The Midwest was the onlyregion to experience a statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate change (-0.2

percentage point). Two of the 4 regions registered significant rate changes from a year earlier: the

Midwest (-1.6 percentage points) and Northeast (-0.6 point). (See table 1.)

Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the highest jobless rate, 11.5

percent in January. The West North Central again registered the lowest rate, 7.0 percent. The East North

Central was the only division with a statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate change(-0.2 percentage point). Over the year, three divisions posted significant rate changes, all of which were

declines: the East North Central (-1.9 percentage points), East South Central (-0.9 point), and Middle

Atlantic (-0.6 point).

State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)

Nevada continued to register the highest unemployment rate among the states, 14.2 percent in January.

The states with the next highest rates were California, 12.4 percent, and Florida, 11.9 percent. NorthDakota reported the lowest jobless rate, 3.8 percent, followed by Nebraska and South Dakota, 4.2 and

4.7 percent, respectively. One state, Colorado, set a new series high, 9.1 percent. (All region, division,and state series begin in 1976.) In total 23 states posted jobless rates significantly lower than the U.S.

figure of 9.0 percent, 10 states recorded measurably higher rates, and 17 states and the District of

Columbia had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3and chart 1.)

In January Nevada experienced the largest over-the-month unemployment rate decline (-0.7 percentagepoint), followed by Indiana, Michigan, and South Carolina (-0.4 point each). Statistically significant

declines also were registered in Pennsylvania (-0.3 percentage point), Maryland (-0.2 point), andNebraska (-0.1 point). The remaining 43 states and the District of Columbia registered jobless rates that

were not measurably different from those of a month earlier, though some had changes that were at least

as large numerically as the significant changes.

Sixteen states reported statistically significant over-the-year jobless rate decreases in January, the largest

of which were in Michigan (-3.0 percentage points) and Illinois (-2.2 points). The remaining 34 states

and the District of Columbia registered unemployment rates that were not appreciably different fromthose of a year earlier. (See table B.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)


3/21

Over the year, 24 states experienced statistically significant changes in employment, all of which were

increases. The largest increase occurred in Texas (+253,900), followed by California (+89,400),Pennsylvania (+70,300), Michigan (+68,500), and Illinois (+64,200). (See table D.)

____________The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release for January 2011 is

scheduled to be released on Friday, March 18, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Regional and

State Employment and Unemployment news release for February is scheduled to be released

on Friday, March 25, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).

Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data

Effective with the release of 2010 annual average estimates on February 25, 2011, the laborforce data for regions, divisions, states, the District of Columbia, and the modeled substate

areas presented in tables 1 through 4 of this news release were revised to incorporate updated

inputs, new population controls, reestimation of models, and adjustment to new division and

national control totals. Estimates in tables 1 and 3 of this release also incorporate revised

seasonal adjustment factors. Both not seasonally adjusted and smoothed seasonally adjusteddata were revised back to 2006. The new population controls reflect the annual updating of

population estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau but do not yet reflect results from Census2010.

Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data

Effective with this release, nonfarm payroll estimates for states and metropolitan areas havebeen revised to reflect 2010 benchmark levels (tables 5 and 6), as well as updated seasonal

adjustment factors. For all series, not seasonally adjusted data back to April 2009 were revised.

Seasonally adjusted data from January 1990 were subject to revision.

In addition all seasonally adjusted series for states and metropolitan areas, including those in

table 5, incorporate an improved seasonal adjustment process. The new seasonal adjustmentutilizes calendar effect treatments designed to correct for variations in the number of weeks

between reference periods in any given pair of months. For more information on the presence

and treatment of calendar effects in CES data, see www.bls.gov/ore/pdf/st960190.pdf.


4/21

Upcoming Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data

With the release of preliminary April 2011 estimates in May 2011, state and area nonfarmemployment estimates will incorporate net business birth/death adjustment factors estimated on

a quarterly basis, replacing the current practice of estimating the factors annually. This will

allow the state and area nonfarm employment estimates to incorporate information from the

Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages into the net birth/death adjustment factors as soonas it becomes available and thereby improve the factors.

Technical Note

This release presents labor force and unemployment

data for census regions and divisions, states, and selectedsubstate areas from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics

(LAUS) program (tables 1 to 4). Also presented are nonfarm

payroll employment estimates by state and major industry

sector from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) pro-

gram (tables 5 and 6). The LAUS and CES programs are both

federal-state cooperative endeavors.

Labor force and unemploymentfrom the LAUS

program

Definitions. The labor force and unemployment data are

based on the same concepts and definitions as those used for

the official national estimates obtained from the Current

Population Survey (CPS), a sample survey of households that

is conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the

U.S. Census Bureau. The LAUS program measures

employment and unemployment on a place-of-residence

basis. The universe for each is the civilian noninstitutional

population 16 years of age and over. Employedpersons are

those who did any work at all for pay or profit in the

reference week (the week including the 12th of the month) or

worked 15 hours or more without pay in a family business or

farm, plus those not working who had a job from which they

were temporarily absent, whether or not paid, for such

reasons as labor-management dispute, illness, or vacation.

Unemployed persons are those who were not employed

during the reference week (based on the definition above),

had actively looked for a job sometime in the 4-week periodending with the reference week, and were currently available

for work; persons on layoff expecting recall need not be

looking for work to be counted as unemployed. The labor

force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons. The

unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percent

of the labor force.

Method of estimation. Estimates for 48 of the 50

states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-LongBeach-Glendale metropolitan division, New York City, and

the balances of California and New York State are produced

using estimating equations based on regression techniques.

This method, which underwent substantial enhancement at

the beginning of 2005, utilizes data from several sources,

including the CPS, the CES, and state unemployment

balances of state are based on a similar regression approach

that does not incorporate CES or UI data. Estimates forcensus regions are obtained by summing the model-based

estimates for the component divisions and then calculating

the unemployment rate. Each month, census division esti-

mates are controlled to national totals; state estimates are then

controlled to their respective division totals. Substate and

balance-of-state estimates for the five areas noted above are

controlled to their respective state totals. Estimates for Puerto

Rico are derived from a monthly household survey similar to

the CPS. A detailed description of the estimation proceduresis available from BLS upon request.

Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data

for prior years reflect adjustments made at the end of each

year. The adjusted estimates reflect updated population data

from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data

sources, and model reestimation. In most years, historical

data for the most recent five years (both seasonally adjusted

and not seasonally adjusted) are revised near the beginning of

each calendar year, prior to or coincident with the release ofJanuary estimates.

Seasonal adjustment. The LAUS program introduced

smoothed-seasonally-adjusted (SSA) estimates in January

2010. These are seasonally-adjusted data that have

incorporated a long-run trend smoothing procedure, resulting

in estimates that are less volatile than those previously

produced. The estimates are smoothed using a Henderson

Trend Filter (H13). The H13 uses a filtering procedure, basedon moving averages, to remove the irregular fluctuations

from the seasonally-adjusted series, leaving the trend. The

same process is used on both historical and current year

estimates

Seasonally-adjusted labor force estimates from January

1976 through December 2009 were replaced with the SSA

estimates for all four census regions, nine census divisions,

all States, the District of Columbia, New York City, the LosAngeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, and the

respective balances of New York and California. Seasonally-

adjusted estimates for the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor and

Detroit-Warren-Livonia metropolitan areas and the Chicago-

Joliet-Naperville, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and Seattle-

Bellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions and the respective

Employmentfrom the CES program

Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on

establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the

pay period that includes the 12th of the month. Persons arecounted at their place of work rather than at their place of

residence; those appearing on more than one payroll are

counted on each payroll. Industries are classified on the basis

of their principal activity in accordance with the 2007 version

of the North American Industry Classification System.

Method of estimation. The employment data are

estimated using a link relative technique in which a ratio

(link relative) of current-month employment to that of the

previous month is computed from a sample of establishments

reporting for both months. The estimates of employment for

the current month are obtained by multiplying the estimates

for the previous month by these ratios. Small-domain models

are used as the official estimators for the approximately 39

percent of CES published series which have insufficient

sample for direct sample-based estimates.

Annual revisions. Employment estimates are adjusted

annually to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks,derived principally from tax reports that are submitted by

employers who are covered under state unemployment

insurance (UI) laws. The benchmark information is used to

adjust the monthly estimates between the new benchmark and

the preceding one and also to establish the level of

employment for the new benchmark month. Thus, the

benchmarking process establishes the level of employment,

and the sample is used to measure the month-to-month

changes in the level for the subsequent months.

Seasonal adjustment. Payroll employment data are

seasonally adjusted at the statewide supersector level. In

some states, the seasonally adjusted payroll employment total

is computed by aggregating the independently adjusted super-

sector series. In other states, the seasonally adjusted payroll

employment total is independently adjusted. Revisions of

historical data for the most recent 5 years are made once a

year, coincident with annual benchmark adjustments.

Caution on aggregating state data. State estimation

procedures are designed to produce accurate data for each

individual state. BLS independently develops a national

employment series; state estimates are not forced to sum to

national totals. Because each state series is subject to larger

sampling and nonsampling errors than the national series

sample surveys, administrative data, and modeling and, thus,

are subject to sampling and other types of errors. Sampling

error is a measure of sampling variabilitythat is, variation

that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire

population is surveyed. Survey data also are subject tononsampling errors, such as those which can be introduced

into the data collection and processing operations. Estimates

not directly derived from sample surveys are subject to

additional errors resulting from the specific estimation

processes used. The sums of individual items may not always

equal the totals shown in the same tables because of

rounding. Unemployment rates are computed from un-

rounded data and thus may differ slightly from rates

computed using the rounded data displayed in the tables.

Use of error measures. In 2005, the LAUS program

introduced several improvements to its methodology. Among

these were the development of model-based error measures

for the monthly estimates and the estimates of over-the-

month changes. The introductory section of this release

preserves the long-time practice of highlighting the direction

of the movements in regional and state unemployment rates

and state nonfarm payroll employment regardless of their

statistical significance. The remainder of the analysis in the

release takes statistical significance into consideration.

Labor force and unemployment estimates. Model-

based error measures for both seasonally adjusted and not

seasonally adjusted data and for over-the-month changes are

available online at www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. BLS uses a

90-percent confidence level in determining whether changes

in LAUS unemployment rates are statistically significant. Theaverage magnitude of the current year over-the-month change

in a state unemployment rate that is required in order to be

statistically significant at the 90-percent confidence level is

just over 0.2 percentage point. The average amount of the

current over-the-year change in a state unemployment rate to

be considered statistically significant is between 0.8 and 0.9

percentage point. More details can be found on the Web site.

Measures of nonsampling error are not available, but addi-

tional information on the subject is provided in Employmentand Earnings Online at www.bls.gov/opub/ee/home.htm.

Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error for

state CES data at the total nonfarm and supersector level and

for metropolitan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are

available online at www bls gov/sae/790stderr htm BLS uses
