REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: AUGUST 2005
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed in August. Overall, 30 states and
the District of Columbia registered over-the-month unemployment rate decreases, 17 states had increases,
and 3 states had no change, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today.
Only six of the rate decreases and none of the increases exceeded 0.3 percentage point. Over the year,
jobless rates were lower in 34 states and the District of Columbia, higher in 14 states, and unchanged in
2 states. In August, the national unemployment rate, at 4.9 percent, was little changed from July, but down
by 0.5 percentage point over the year.
Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 33 states and the District of Columbia in August and decreased in 17 states. California experienced the largest employment gain (+17,200), followed by Georgia
and Missouri (+15,500 each), Arizona (+9,400), Florida (+8,600), and Michigan (+8,300). Missouri posted
the largest over-the-month percentage increase in employment (+0.6 percent), followed by Arizona, Georgia,
Hawaii, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and South Dakota (+0.4 percent each) and Maine and Oregon
(+0.3 percent each). The largest employment decreases occurred in Maryland (-9,200), Indiana (-8,800),
Massachusetts (-5,100), North Carolina (-4,800), Ohio (-4,000), and Iowa (-2,500). The largest over-themonth percentage losses in employment were reported in Maryland (-0.4 percent), Indiana (-0.3 percent),
and Alaska, Iowa, Massachusetts, Montana, and West Virginia (-0.2 percent each).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
In August, the Northeast and South again recorded the lowest unemployment rates, 4.7 and 4.8 percent,
respectively. The Midwest continued to report the highest jobless rate, 5.3 percent, while the unemployment
rate in the West was 5.1 percent. No region posted a statistically significant change in its unemployment rate
from July. In contrast, all four regions registered significant unemployment rates decreases over the year: the
West (-0.6 percentage point), Midwest and Northeast (-0.5 point each), and South (-0.4 point). (See
table 1.)
Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina struck Florida and the Gulf Coast after the August survey reference
period, and therefore did not affect the August employment and unemployment estimates
presented in this release.
2
Among the nine geographic divisions, the lowest unemployment rates in August were reported in the
West North Central, 4.2 percent, and South Atlantic, 4.5 percent. The highest jobless rate continued to
be posted in the East North Central, 5.8 percent. The Mountain division was the only one to register a
statistically significant unemployment rate change (-0.3 percentage point) from July. From August 2004, the
largest declines were experienced by the West North Central (-0.9 percentage point), Pacific (-0.8 point),
Middle Atlantic (-0.7 point), and West South Central (-0.6 point) divisions. The Mountain and South
Atlantic divisions also reported statistically significant over-the-year rate decreases. No division had a jobless rate increase over the year.
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
In August, Hawaii again reported the lowest state unemployment rate, 2.6 percent. The next lowest rates
were recorded in North Dakota, 3.4 percent, and New Hampshire and Vermont, 3.5 percent each. Seven
other states registered unemployment rates below 4.0 percent. Two states reported the lowest unemployment rates in their series in August—Florida, 3.6 percent, and Idaho, 3.8 percent. (All state series begin in
1976.) Mississippi posted the highest state jobless rate, 6.8 percent, followed closely by Michigan and
Oregon, 6.7 percent each, and Alaska, 6.6 percent. Overall, 17 states had unemployment rates that were
significantly below the U.S. rate in August, 8 states and the District of Columbia recorded measurably higher
rates, and 25 states had rates that statistically were little different from that of the nation. (See tables A and
3 and chart 1.)
Eight states registered over-the-month jobless rate decreases that were statistically significant in August.
Missouri reported the largest decrease (-1.0 percentage point), followed by New Mexico (-0.7 point) and
Kentucky and Massachusetts (-0.5 point each). No state had a significant unemployment rate increase from
July. Forty-two states and the District of Columbia reported jobless rates in August that were not appreciably different from those of a month earlier.
Over the year, Alabama experienced the largest unemployment rate decrease in August (-1.8 percentage
points), followed by Missouri (-1.3 points) and Florida (-1.0 point). Eighteen additional states recorded
statistically significant over-the-year jobless rate declines. The District of Columbia also reported a measurable jobless rate decrease from a year ago (-2.0 percentage points). Three states posted statistically
significant unemployment rate increases from August 2004: Connecticut (+0.6 percentage point) and Georgia
and South Dakota (+0.3 point each). (See table B.) Twenty-six states recorded jobless rates that were not
appreciably different from those of August 2004, even though in some cases the changes were as large
numerically as in states that recorded statistically significant changes.
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Between July and August, the measured changes in employment were statistically significant in three
states. All registered gains in employment: Missouri (+15,500), Arizona (+9,400), and Hawaii (+2,300).
(See tables C and 5.)
Over the year, the measured changes in employment were statistically significant in 33 states and the
District of Columbia. All had gains in employment except for Michigan, which reported a loss of 48,700
jobs. The largest gains were registered in Florida (+252,600), California (+223,300), Texas (+127,800),
and Arizona (+98,800). Four states and the District of Columbia experienced statistically significant
3
employment gains that were less than 15,000: New Hampshire (+14,300), the District of Columbia
(+11,300), Montana (+9,900), Delaware (+8,300), and Wyoming (+7,200). (See table D.)

The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release for August is scheduled to be issued on
September 28. The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for September is scheduled
to be issued on October 21.
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 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 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. BLS
uses a 90-percent confidence level in determining whether
changes in LAUS unemployment rates are statistically
significant. 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,

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/.
