REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: MARCH 2005
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally stable or down slightly in March, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Three of the four regions and 35 states
recorded unemployment rate shifts of 0.2 percentage point or less from February. Over the year, jobless
rates were down in 36 states and up in 14 states and the District of Columbia. In March, the national
unemployment rate declined to 5.2 percent and was 0.5 percentage point lower than a year ago.
Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 40 states over the month, decreased in 9 states and the District
of Columbia, and was unchanged in 1 state. Five states had employment gains of 10,000 or more—Florida
(+19,400), California (+17,600), Illinois (+16,200), Texas (+10,600), and Missouri (+10,000). Only one
state—Michigan—had an employment loss of a similar magnitude in March (-17,000). Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 48 states and the District of Columbia and decreased in 2 states (Michigan
and South Carolina). The largest percentage gain in employment was in Nevada (+6.7 percent), followed by
Arizona (+3.9 percent), Oregon (+3.8 percent), Utah (+3.7 percent), and Florida (+3.5 percent).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
The Northeast registered the lowest unemployment rate in March, 4.8 percent, while the Midwest had
the highest rate, 5.6 percent. Jobless rates in the South and West were 5.0 and 5.2 percent, respectively;
both of these regions reported statistically significant declines over the month (-0.3 percentage point in the
South and -0.2 point in the West). Over the year, unemployment rates were down significantly in the West
(-1.0 percentage point), Northeast (-0.8 point), and South (-0.3 point). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the lowest unemployment rates in March were reported in the New
England and South Atlantic divisions, 4.7 percent each; the Middle Atlantic and Mountain, 4.8 percent each;
and the West North Central, 4.9 percent. The East North Central division had the highest unemployment
rate, 5.9 percent, followed by the East South Central, 5.6 percent. The Pacific division registered the largest
over-the-month unemployment rate decline (-0.5 percentage point). The West South Central was the only
other division to have a statistically significant rate change (-0.3 percentage point) from February. The largest
over-the-year unemployment rate changes were recorded in the Pacific (-1.3 percentage points), Middle
Atlantic (-1.0 point), and West South Central (-0.6 point) divisions. The Mountain and New England divisions also posted significant rate declines from March 2004 (-0.4 percentage point each). No division had a
statistically significant rate increase over the year.

State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Hawaii had the lowest state unemployment rate in March, 2.8 percent. The states with the next lowest
rates were Wyoming, 3.1 percent; North Dakota and Virginia, 3.3 percent each; and Vermont, 3.4 percent.
The states with the highest jobless rates were Mississippi, 7.0 percent; Michigan, 6.9 percent; South Carolina, 6.8 percent; and Alaska, 6.7 percent. The District of Columbia recorded a rate of 7.8 percent. In
March, 16 states registered unemployment rates that were measurably below the U.S. rate, 6 states and the
District of Columbia had higher rates, and 28 states had rates that were little different from that of the nation.
(See table A, table 3, and chart 1.)
Five states recorded over-the-month jobless rate decreases that were statistically significant in March—
Alaska, Michigan, and New York (-0.5 percentage point each) and California and Texas (-0.4 point each).
The remaining 45 states—including 2 with declines of 0.5 point or more—and the District of Columbia
registered rates that statistically were little different from those of February.
The largest over-the-year jobless rate declines were in New York (-1.5 percentage points), Oregon
(-1.4 points), Washington (-1.3 points), and Alabama and California (-1.0 point each). Twenty other states
also had statistically significant rate decreases. Four states registered statistically significant rate increases
from a year earlier. Mississippi again experienced the largest over-the-year unemployment rate increase
(+1.8 percentage points), followed by Georgia (+0.7 point), Tennessee (+0.5 point), and Iowa (+0.4 point).
(See table B.) Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia recorded jobless rates that were not appreciably different from those of March 2004.
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Between February and March, the measured changes in employment were statistically significant in six
states. Of these six, five states registered gains in employment—Illinois (+16,200), Nevada (+7,300), Utah
(+6,100), Nebraska (+5,300), and South Dakota (+2,900). Michigan recorded the only significant over-themonth employment decline (-17,000). (See table C.)
Over the year, the measured changes in employment were statistically significant in 30 states. All 30 of
these states registered job gains. The largest gains were in Florida (+262,100), California (+244,100), Texas
(+125,400), Arizona (+90,800), and Nevada (+75,700). States with significant gains under 10,000 included
Delaware (+9,700), Montana (+9,000), and North Dakota and Wyoming (+5,700 each). (See table D.)

Use of Error Measures in the Regional and State News Release
With the release of data for January 2005, the Local Area Unemployment Statistics
(LAUS) program introduced several improvements to its methodology. Among these was
the development of model-based error measures for the monthly estimates and the estimates
of over-the-month changes. These error measures allow data users and the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) to consider statistical significance when analyzing and describing the
LAUS data. Error measures for the nonfarm payroll employment data had been available
prior to January 2005, although they were not used in the analysis of those data in this
release.
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 the statistical significance of monthly and annual changes into consideration.

Technical Note
This release presents labor force and unemployment data for
census regions and divisions, states, and selected substate
areas 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 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 labormanagement 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 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. Estimates for all census divisions,
states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long BeachGlendale metropolitan division, and New York City 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 insurance (UI) data.
Estimates for the six other areas contained in this release use a
different regression approach. A detailed description of the
estimation procedures is available from BLS upon request.
Estimates for census regions are obtained by summing the
model-based estimates for the component divisions 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 implemented with January estimates. The
adjusted estimates reflect updated population data from the U.S.
Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources, and
model reestimation.
Seasonal adjustment. Seasonal adjustment of census
division, state, and substate area model employment and
unemployment levels is performed within the modeling
procedure. The model estimation is based on the classical
approach to seasonal adjustment, in which the series is
decomposed into trend, seasonal, irregular, and survey error.
This directly yields seasonally adjusted estimates for
employment and unemployment levels with reliability measures.
Labor force levels and unemployment rates are calculated from
these two estimates. Additionally, measures for the state of
California are derived by summing the seasonally adjusted
estimates for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale
metropolitan division and the balance of California, and the
estimates for the State of New York are the sum of the estimates
for New York City and the balance of New York. Labor force
estimates for census regions are calculated as the sum of the
levels of the component divisions, and the unemployment rate
is then calculated. In most years, historical data for the most
recent 5 years are revised near the beginning of each calendar
year, usually coincident with the release of January estimates.
Area definitions. The substate area data published in this
release reflect the standards and definitions established by the
U.S. Office of Management and Budget on February 18, 2004.
A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available on the
Web at http://www.bls.gov/lau/laumsa.htm and also is published
annually in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.
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. 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 activity in accordance with the 2002 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.
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. 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 supersector
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,
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, administrative data, and modeling 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 specific 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 from unrounded data rather
than from data that may be displayed in the tables; differences,
however, are generally insignificant.
Labor force and unemployment estimates. Model-based
error measures for both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally
adjusted data, and for over-the-month change, are available on
the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. The
average magnitude of the 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 slightly more
than +/- 0.3 percentage point. More details can be found on the
Web site. Measures of nonsampling error 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 for state
CES data at the total nonfarm and supersector level and for
metropolitan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are
available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/sae/
790stderr.htm. BLS uses a 90-percent confidence level in
determining whether changes in CES employment levels are
statistically significant. Information on recent benchmark
revisions for states is available on the BLS Web site at
http://www.bls.gov/sae/.
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

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, as well as
nonfarm employment from the CES program, for over 370
metropolitan areas and metropolitan New England City and
Town Areas (NECTAs) 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 on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/lau/.
