MASS LAYOFFS — OCTOBER 2012
Employers took 1,360 mass layoff actions in October involving 131,173 workers as measured by new
filings for unemployment insurance benefits during the month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. (Data are seasonally adjusted.) Each mass layoff involved at least 50 workers from a
single employer. Mass layoff events in October increased by 44 from September, and the number of
associated initial claims increased by 8,711. In October, 344 mass layoff events were reported in the
manufacturing sector resulting in 42,946 initial claims. Monthly mass layoff data are identified using
administrative data sources without regard to layoff duration. (See table 1 and the note at the end of this
release.)

Unemployment rate
The national unemployment rate was 7.9 percent in October, essentially unchanged from the prior month
and down from 8.9 percent a year earlier. Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 171,000 over
the month and by 1,949,000 over the year.
Industry Distribution (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
The number of mass layoff events in October was 1,142, not seasonally adjusted, resulting in 109,829
initial claims for unemployment insurance. (See table 2.) Over the year, the number of average weekly
mass layoff events for October increased by 11 to 286, and associated average weekly initial claims
increased by 3,228 to 27,457. Eleven of the 19 major industry sectors in the private economy reported
over-the-year increases in average weekly initial claims, with the largest increase occurring in

manufacturing. (See table 3.) In October 2012, the six-digit industry with the largest number of private
nonfarm initial claims due to mass layoffs was temporary help services. (See table A.)
In October, the manufacturing sector accounted for 26 percent of mass layoff events and 36 percent of
associated initial claims in the private economy. Within manufacturing, the numbers of mass layoff
claimants were highest in machinery and in transportation equipment. Twelve of the 21 manufacturing
subsectors experienced over-the-year increases in average weekly initial claims. (See table 3.)
Geographic Distribution (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Among the census regions, the West registered the largest number of initial claims due to mass layoffs
in October. Three of the 4 regions experienced over-the-year increases in average weekly initial claims,
with the largest increase occurring in the West. (See table 4.)
Among the states, California recorded the highest number of mass layoff initial claims in October,
followed by North Carolina, Illinois, and Ohio. Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia
experienced over-the-year increases in average weekly initial claims, led by California and North
Carolina. (See table 4.)
Note
The monthly data series in this release cover mass layoffs of 50 or more workers beginning in a given
month, regardless of the duration of the layoffs. For private nonfarm establishments, information on the
length of the layoff is obtained later and issued in a quarterly release that reports on mass layoffs lasting
more than 30 days (referred to as “extended mass layoffs”). The quarterly release provides more
information on the industry classification and location of the establishment and on the demographics of
-2-
the laid-off workers. The monthly data series in this release are subjected to average weekly analysis,
which mitigates the effect of differing lengths of months. See the Technical Note for more detailed
definitions and for a description of average weekly analysis.

The Mass Layoffs news release for November is scheduled to be released on Friday,
December 21, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. (EST).

Technical Note
The Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) program is a federalstate program that uses a standardized automated approach to
identifying, describing, and tracking the effects of major job
cutbacks, using data from each state's unemployment
insurance database. Each month, states report on employers
which have at least 50 initial claims filed against them during
a consecutive 5-week period. These employers then are
contacted by the state agency to determine whether these
separations lasted 31 days or longer, and, if so, other
information concerning the layoff is collected. States report
on layoffs lasting more than 1 month on a quarterly basis.
The monthly data present preliminary mass layoff
activity in the reference month and are not revised in
subsequent months except in special circumstances (e.g.,
layoffs in states affected by Hurricane Katrina). Counts of
initial claims associated with mass layoff events reflect
activity through the end of the reference month. Additional
mass layoff event and initial claims activity received after
data for the reference month have been published by BLS are
not updated in the monthly mass layoff series and, therefore,
may not match revised mass layoff data issued in state
publications. However, any additional mass layoff
information meeting the extended mass layoff criteria will be
reflected in BLS’ quarterly publication of extended mass
layoff data.
A given month contains an aggregation of the weekly
unemployment insurance claims filings for the Sunday
through Saturday weeks in that month. All weeks are
included for the particular month, except if the first day of the
month falls on Saturday. In this case, the week is included in
the prior month's tabulations. This means that some months
will contain 4 weeks and others, 5 weeks. The number of
weeks in a given month may be different from year to year,
and the number of weeks in a year may vary. Therefore, data
users who intend to perform analysis of over-the-year change
in the not seasonally adjusted series should use the average
weekly mass layoff figures displayed in tables 3 and 4 of this
release. The average weekly adjustment process produces a
consistent series for each month across all years, permitting
over-the-year analysis to be performed using strictly
comparable data.
The MLS program resumed operations in April 1995
after it had been terminated in November 1992 due to lack of
funding. Prior to April 1995, monthly layoff statistics were
not available.

Definitions
Average weekly mass layoff events and initial claimants.
The number of events and initial claimants in a given month
divided by the number of weeks contained within that month.
Employer. Employers in the MLS program include
those covered by state unemployment insurance laws.
Information on employers is obtained from the Quarterly
Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program, which
is administered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Industry. Employers are classified according to the 2007
version of the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS). For temporary help and professional employer
organization industries, monthly MLS-related statistics
generally reflect layoffs related to underlying client
companies in other industries. An individual layoff action at a
client company can be small, but when initial claimants
associated with many such layoffs are assigned to a
temporary help or professional employer organization firm, a
mass layoff event may trigger.
Initial claimant. A person who files any notice of unemployment to initiate a request either for a determination of
entitlement to and eligibility for compensation, or for a
subsequent period of unemployment within a benefit year or
period of eligibility.
Mass layoff event. Fifty or more initial claims for
unemployment insurance benefits filed against an employer
during a 5-week period, regardless of duration.
Seasonal adjustment
Effective with the release of data for January 2005, BLS
began publishing six seasonally adjusted monthly MLS
series. The six series are the numbers of mass layoff events
and mass layoff initial claims for the total, private nonfarm,
and manufacturing sectors.
Seasonal adjustment is the process of estimating and
removing the effect on time series data of regularly recurring
seasonal events such as changes in the weather, holidays, and
the beginning and ending of the school year. The use of
seasonal adjustment makes it easier to observe fundamental
changes in time series, particularly those associated with
general economic expansions and contractions.
The MLS data are seasonally adjusted using the X-12ARIMA seasonal adjustment method on a concurrent basis.
Concurrent seasonal adjustment uses all available monthly
estimates, including those for the current month, in
developing seasonal adjustment factors. Revisions to the most
recent 5 years of seasonally adjusted data will be made once a
year with the issuance of December data. Before the data are
seasonally adjusted, prior adjustments are made to the
original data to adjust them for differences in the number of
weeks used to calculate the monthly data. Because weekly
unemployment insurance claims are aggregated to form
monthly data, a particular month's value could be calculated
with 5 weeks of data in 1 year and 4 weeks in another. The
effects of these differences could seriously distort the
seasonal factors if they were ignored in the seasonal
adjustment process. These effects are modeled in the X-12ARIMA program and are permanently removed from the
final seasonally adjusted series.
