REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: DECEMBER 2002
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally stable in December. All four regions recorded
little or no change from November, and 43 states registered shifts of 0.3 percentage point or less, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The national jobless rate was
unchanged at 6.0 percent in December. Nonfarm employment decreased in 34 states and the District of
Columbia in December.
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Among the four regions, the Midwest had the lowest unemployment rate in December, 5.2 percent,
followed by the South, at 5.4 percent. The West continued to report the highest rate, 6.3 percent. The only
significant over-the-year unemployment rate change was recorded in the Northeast, up 0.6 percentage point
to 5.7 percent. (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the West North Central again reported the lowest jobless rate,
4.2 percent in December, while the Pacific continued to register the highest rate, 6.6 percent. All divisions
posted little or no change from November. The two Northeast divisions had the largest unemployment rate
increases from December 2001—Middle Atlantic (+0.7 percentage point) and New England (+0.6 point).
The largest over-the-year rate declines were recorded in two of the three divisions in the South—East South
Central and South Atlantic (-0.3 percentage point each).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
In December, North Dakota and South Dakota reported the lowest unemployment rates, 3.0 percent
each, followed by Nebraska, at 3.4 percent. These three West North Central states have had the lowest
rates since August 2002. Meanwhile, Alaska registered the highest jobless rate, 7.4 percent. Two other
Pacific states—Oregon and Washington—recorded the next highest rates, 7.0 and 6.8 percent, respectively.
(See table 3 and chart 1.)
Unemployment rates increased over the month in 28 states and the District of Columbia, decreased in 16
states, and were unchanged in 6 states. The largest rate increases from November were recorded in Alaska
(+0.6 percentage point) and the District of Columbia (+0.5 point). The largest jobless rate decline occurred
in West Virginia (-0.6 percentage point).
2
Unemployment rates were higher than those a year earlier in 24 states and the District of Columbia,
lower in 23 states, and unchanged in 3 states. Nevada posted the largest jobless rate decrease (-1.9
percentage points), followed by Hawaii (-1.4 points). Both states had registered substantial unemployment
increases following the September 2001 terrorist attacks, due to a dropoff in tourism-related activities. South
Dakota reported the next largest unemployment rate decline (-1.0 percentage point). Six additional states
had decreases of at least 0.5 percentage point. Alaska recorded the largest over-the-year unemployment
rate increase (+1.4 percentage points), followed by West Virginia (+1.0 point). Another 12 states had rate
increases of one-half percentage point or more.
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Total nonfarm employment decreased in 34 states and the District of Columbia, increased in 13 states,
and was unchanged in 3 states from November to December. The largest employment decreases occurred
in Michigan (-19,700), California (-15,400), Georgia and Illinois (-14,200 each), and Massachusetts
(-10,900). Delaware and the District of Columbia reported the largest over-the-month percentage declines in
employment (-0.5 percent each), followed by Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, and New Hampshire
(-0.4 percent each). The largest employment increases were posted in Maryland (+5,200), Mississippi
(+1,800), and Hawaii (+1,500). Hawaii reported the largest over-the-month percentage increase in
employment (+0.3 percent), followed by Maryland, Mississippi, and North Dakota (+0.2 percent each).
(See table 5.)
Over the year, employment decreased in 28 states and the District of Columbia. The largest employment decreases were in Illinois (-64,500), Massachusetts (-47,600), New York (-44,300), and Georgia
(-41,200). Delaware recorded the largest percentage decline in employment (-2.2 percent), followed by
Missouri (-1.5 percent) and Colorado and Massachusetts (-1.4 percent each). The biggest over-the-year
gains in employment occurred in Florida (+64,300), Nevada (+25,600), Kentucky (+21,300), and Wisconsin (+19,800). The largest percentage increases were reported in Nevada (+2.4 percent), Montana
(+1.9 percent), and Hawaii (+1.7 percent). (See chart 2.)
Over the year, some major industry divisions experienced widespread employment declines. Manufacturing remained the weakest industry division, with 49 states and the District of Columbia posting overthe-year employment decreases. Employment losses also were widespread in transportation and public
utilities, with 43 states and the District of Columbia experiencing over-the-year declines. In contrast to
these losses, 41 states reported employment gains in government, and 38 states and the District of Columbia
reported over-the-year employment gains in services.

Upcoming Changes to State and Metropolitan Area
Data Series in March 2003
Labor Force Data Series
Effective with the release of January 2003 estimates in March 2003, the labor force data series
for regions, divisions, states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area,
and New York City shown in tables 1-4 of this news release will be revised to incorporate population
controls reflecting the results of Census 2000, revised seasonal adjustment factors, reestimation of
models, and benchmarking to Current Population Survey annual averages. Not seasonally adjusted
data back to 2000 and seasonally adjusted data back to 1998 are subject to revision. Questions
about these upcoming changes to the labor force data series can be directed to the Division of Local
Area Unemployment Statistics at 202-691-6392.
Nonfarm Payroll Data Series
NAICS conversion. The nonfarm payroll series for states and metropolitan areas, produced from
the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program and presented for states in tables 5 and 6 of this
news release, will be converted from the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) basis to the
2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) basis with the release of January 2003
estimates in March 2003. The NAICS conversion involves major definitional changes to many of the
currently published SIC-based series. After the conversion to NAICS, SIC-based series will no
longer be produced or published. Historical time series will be reconstructed as part of the NAICS
conversion process. At the state and metropolitan area levels, the NAICS-based reconstruction effort
will cover only the all employee series, which will have a NAICS-based history extending back to
January 1990, except for total nonfarm employment series, which will retain their current beginning
dates. There will be no reconstruction of average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, or other
data types; these series will begin in January 2001 on a NAICS basis.
Completion of the CES sample redesign. March 2003 also will mark the completion of the
CES sample redesign phase-in at the state and metropolitan area levels. The redesign converts the
CES from a quota-based sample to a probability-based sample. In March 2003, at the state and
metropolitan area levels, the transportation and public utilities; finance, insurance, and real estate; retail
trade; and services industries will be converted to the new sample. All other private sector industries
have already been converted. The final stage of sample redesign phase-in may result in level shifts for
average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, and production worker employment series. New
levels for these series are being recomputed from the NAICS-based probability sample.
Small domain models. With the full implementation of the CES sample redesign at the state and
metropolitan area levels in March 2003, some redistribution of sample from smaller to larger
metropolitan areas will be needed in order to maximize the reliability of the statewide total nonfarm
estimates. In order to sustain the viability of the employment series for smaller domains, primarily
detailed industry series within the smallest metropolitan areas, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has
developed a small domain model, based on weighted least squares regression methodology. The
inputs for the model are available sample, time series history, and additional information from the full
state sample. In March 2003, the model will be implemented as the official estimator for the
approximately 10 percent of CES published series which have insufficient sample for direct samplebased estimates.
Further information on upcoming changes to CES data series is available through the BLS public
database at the state and area homepage at http://www.bls.gov/sae/ or by calling 202-691-6559.
Technical Note
This release presents labor force and unemployment data for census
regions and divisions, states, the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan
area, and New York City from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics
(LAUS) program (tables 1-4). Also presented are nonfarm payroll
employment estimates by state and major industry from the Current
Employment Statistics (CES) program (tables 5 and 6). The LAUS and
CES programs are both Federal-State cooperative endeavors.
Labor force and unemployment—from 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 labor force includes
both the employed and the unemployed. Employed persons are those
who did any work at all for pay or profit in the survey 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 have 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 did not work at all (in the
reference week), have actively looked for a job (sometime in the 4-week
period ending with the survey reference week), and are currently
available for work; persons on layoff expecting recall need not be looking
for work to be counted as unemployed.
Method of estimation. Effective January 1996, estimates for all
states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach
metropolitan area, and New York City are produced using estimating
equations based on regression techniques. This method utilizes data
from several sources, including the CPS, the CES, and state
unemployment insurance (UI) data. A detailed description of the
estimation procedures is available from BLS upon request. Effective
January 1998, estimates for census regions and divisions are obtained
by summing the model-based estimates for the component states and
then calculating the unemployment rate.
Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data shown for
the prior year reflect adjustments made at the end of each year, usually
with January estimates. The adjusted estimates reflect updated
population data from the U.S. Census Bureau and any revisions in the
other data sources. In addition, data for all states, the District of
Columbia, and the two large substate areas noted are adjusted annually
to equal the CPS annual averages, usually effective with January
estimates. The regional and state data will not sum to national totals
obtained from the CPS, since the monthly state estimates are not based
directly on the CPS.
Seasonal adjustment. Seasonal adjustment of state (and Los
Angeles-Long Beach and New York City) labor force levels are
computed by aggregating independently seasonally adjusted
employment and unemployment levels. Unemployment rates are then
computed from these independently adjusted levels. Region and
division levels are calculated as the sum of the levels of the component
states. Revisions of historical data for the most recent 5 years are
usually made at the beginning of each calendar year, usually coincident
with January estimates.
Employment from the CES program
Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on establishment
payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay period which includes
the 12th of the month, except for federal government employment,
which represents the number of persons who occupied positions on
the last day of the month. Persons are counted 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 product or activity in accordance with the
1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual.
Method of estimation. The employment data are estimated using
a “link relative” technique in which a ratio (link relative) of currentmonth 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.
Annual revisions. Employment estimates are adjusted annually
to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived principally
from tax reports which 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. Seasonally adjusted payroll employment
totals for states are computed by aggregating independently adjusted
series for major industry divisions. 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, summing them cumulates individual state level errors and can
cause significant distortions at an aggregate level. Due to these
statistical limitations, BLS does not compile a “sum-of-states”
employment series, and cautions users that such a series is subject to
a relatively large and volatile error structure.
Reliability of the estimates
The estimates presented in this release are based on sample survey
and administrative data and thus are subject to sampling and other
types of errors. Sampling error is a measure of sampling variability—
that is, variation that occurs by chance because a sample rather than
the entire population is surveyed. Survey data also are subject to
nonsampling 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 special estimation processes used. The sums of individual
items may not always equal the totals shown in the same tables because
of rounding. With respect to the LAUS program, unemployment rates
are computed, in most instances, from unrounded data rather than from
data that may be displayed in the tables; differences, however, are
generally insignificant.
Labor force and unemployment estimates. Measures of
sampling error, in the form of standard errors for state annual average
estimates derived from the CPS, are available in the annual BLS bulletin,
Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment. Measures of
nonsampling error for CPS data are not available, but additional
information on the subject is provided in the BLS monthly periodical,
Employment and Earnings.
Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error are not
available for state CES data, but the relatively large size of the samples
maintained by the state agencies and the annual adjustment of
employment estimates to more recent benchmark levels assure a high
degree of accuracy. Information on recent benchmark revisions for
states is available upon request.
Additional information
More complete information on the technical procedures used to
develop these estimates and additional data appear in Employment and
Earnings, which is available by subscription from the Superintendent
of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC
20402 (telephone 202-512-1800), and from the BLS Handbook of
Methods, Bulletin 2490, August 1997.
Estimates of labor force and unemployment for over 330
metropolitan areas are available in the news release, Metropolitan Area
Employment and Unemployment . Estimates of labor force,
employment, and unemployment for all states, metropolitan areas,
labor market areas, counties, cities with a population of 25,000 or
more, and other areas used in the administration of various federal
economic assistance programs are available from the BLS Internet at
(http://www.bls.gov/lau/). Employment data from the CES program
are available at (http://www.bls.gov/sae/).
