REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: SEPTEMBER 2005
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed in September, with the exceptions of
Louisiana and Mississippi, the two states most affected by Hurricane Katrina. Overall, 31 states registered
over-the-month unemployment rate increases, 15 states and the District of Columbia recorded decreases, and
4 states had no change, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. In
contrast, jobless rates were lower over the year in 29 states and the District of Columbia, higher in 18 states,
and unchanged in 3 states. The national unemployment rate rose from 4.9 percent in August to 5.1 percent
in September, but was down by 0.3 percentage point over the year.
Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 28 states in September and decreased in 22 states and the
District of Columbia. Florida experienced the largest employment gain (+17,700), followed by New York
(+16,700), Texas (+15,100), Indiana (+9,200), Pennsylvania (+8,300), and Michigan (+8,100). Nebraska
and Nevada posted the largest over-the-month percentage increases in employment (+0.6 percent each),
followed by New Mexico and North Dakota (+0.4 percent each) and Alaska, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland,
and Tennessee (+0.3 percent each). The impact of Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast in late
August, caused large employment decreases in Louisiana (-251,000) and Mississippi (-59,700). (See the
note below on Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.) Other states with employment decreases of 10,000 or greater
were: California (-23,700), Missouri (-16,000), Georgia (-10,800), Washington (-10,600), and North Carolina (-10,500). The largest over-the-month percentage losses in employment were reported in Louisiana
(-13.0 percent), Mississippi (-5.3 percent), Maine (-0.7 percent), Missouri (-0.6 percent), and Montana,
Washington, and the District of Columbia (-0.4 percent each).
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita
Data for September are the first from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program and the first for states and areas from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey to
reflect the impact of Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast on August 29 with catastrophic effects in parts of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi.
For the September LAUS estimates, BLS and its state partners made a number of modifications to the standard estimating procedures to better reflect the employment and unemployment
situation. These include: (1) allowing the state labor force estimates for Louisiana and Mississippi
to reflect the effects of Katrina by overriding the built-in feature of the methodology that smoothes
over large shifts in key inputs—unemployment insurance claims and nonfarm wage and salary employment; (2) developing labor force estimates for the New Orleans metropolitan area using an
2
alternative to the model-based method; and (3) not publishing labor force estimates for the parishes
within the New Orleans metropolitan area or cities within those parishes where the quality of input
data was severely compromised by the hurricane.
For the September CES estimates, several modifications to the usual estimation procedures
were adopted to better reflect employment in Katrina-affected areas. The changes included:
(1) modification of procedures to impute employment counts for survey nonrespondents in the
most heavily impacted areas; (2) adjustments to sample weights for sample units in the more
broadly defined disaster area to compensate for lower-than-average survey response rates; and
(3) modification of the adjustment procedure for the business net birth/death estimator to reflect
likely changes in business birth/death patterns in the disaster areas.
Hurricane Rita made landfall during the September data collection period. As a result,
response rates for the CES survey were lower than normal in some areas. However, because
the reference period occurred before Hurricane Rita struck, the impact of this storm on measures
of employment was negligible.
CES estimates for metropolitan areas are always made available to the public at http://
www.bls.gov on the day of issue of the Regional and State Employment and Unemployment news
release. CES estimates for metropolitan areas normally do not appear in print until about one or
two weeks later with the release of the Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news
release. However, due to intense interest in estimates for areas affected by Hurricane Katrina,
CES data for several metropolitan areas in Gulf Coast states are included in this release.
For more information on LAUS and CES procedures and estimates for September 2005,
see Hurricane Information: Katrina and Rita on the BLS Web site, http://www.bls.gov/katrina/
home.htm or call (202) 691-6392 for information about the LAUS program, and (202) 691-6559
for information about the CES survey.
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
The Midwest and South reported the highest jobless rates, 5.3 percent each. The South was the only
region to post a statistically significant rate change from August (due largely to Hurricane Katrina). The
Northeast again recorded the lowest unemployment rate in September, 4.9 percent, followed by the West
at 5.1 percent. Three regions registered significant unemployment rate decreases over the year—the West
(-0.6 percentage point), Midwest (-0.4 point), and Northeast (-0.2 point). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the highest jobless rates were posted in the West South Central,
6.4 percent, East North Central, 5.7 percent, and East South Central, 5.6 percent. The two divisions to
register statistically significant unemployment rate increases from August were the West South Central
(+1.3 percentage points) and East South Central (+0.4 point). Louisiana is located in the West South
Central division, and Mississippi is located in the East South Central division. The lowest unemployment
rates in September were reported in the West North Central, 4.3 percent, and South Atlantic, 4.5 percent.
No division had a statistically significant unemployment rate decrease from August. From September 2004,
the West South Central division posted the only statistically significant jobless rate increase (+0.7 percentage
point). The largest over-the-year rate declines were registered by the Pacific (-0.9 percentage point) and
West North Central (-0.7 point). The Middle Atlantic and East North Central divisions also recorded
significant rate declines (-0.4 and -0.3 percentage point, respectively).
3
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
In September, Louisiana posted the highest state jobless rate, 11.5 percent, followed by Mississippi, 9.6
percent. These were the two states hit hardest by Hurricane Katrina. Hawaii continued to report the lowest
state unemployment rate, 2.7 percent; the next lowest rates were recorded in Florida, Idaho, and Virginia,
3.5 percent each. Two of these states—Florida and Idaho—reported the lowest unemployment rates in their
series in September. (All state series begin in 1976.) Six other states registered unemployment rates below
4.0 percent. Overall, 16 states had unemployment rates that were significantly below the U.S. rate in
September, 8 states and the District of Columbia recorded measurably higher rates, and 26 states had rates
that statistically were little different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3 and chart 1.)
Louisiana and Mississippi reported the largest unemployment rate increases from August. Louisiana’s
over-the-month rate increase (+5.7 percentage points) was the largest of any state since these series began
in 1976, while Mississippi’s (+2.7 points) equaled the previous record. Eight other states—Arkansas, Iowa,
Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Texas—had significant unemployment rate
increases from August. Two states registered over-the-month jobless rate decreases that were statistically
significant in September—Oregon (-0.5 percentage point) and Maryland (-0.3 point). Thirty-eight states and
the District of Columbia reported jobless rates in September that were not appreciably different from those of
a month earlier.
Over the year, Louisiana posted the largest unemployment rate increase from last September (+5.8 percentage points), followed by Mississippi (+2.9 points). Six other states posted significant unemployment rate
increases. Alabama experienced the largest over-the-year unemployment rate decrease (-1.6 percentage
points), followed by Florida (-1.3 points) and Oregon (-1.2 points). Fourteen additional states recorded
statistically significant jobless rate declines. The District of Columbia also reported a measurable jobless rate
decrease from a year ago (-2.4 percentage points). Twenty-five states recorded jobless rates that were not
appreciably different from those of September 2004, even though some states had changes that were as large
numerically as those with statistically significant changes. (See table B.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Between August and September, the measured changes in employment were statistically significant in
seven states. Two states—Nevada (+7,800) and Nebraska (+5,300)—registered gains in employment,
while five had declines—Louisiana (-251,000), Mississippi (-59,700), Missouri (-16,000), Washington
(-10,600), and Maine (-4,200). (See tables C and 5.)
Over the year, the measured changes in employment were statistically significant in 34 states and the
District of Columbia. All had gains in employment except for Louisiana (-228,900), Mississippi (-49,100),
and Michigan (-38,200). The largest gains were reported in Florida (+277,700), California (+226,300),
Texas (+142,500), and Arizona (+96,000). Four states and the District of Columbia experienced statistically
significant employment gains that were less than 15,000: Nebraska (+14,500), New Hampshire (+13,300),
the District of Columbia (+9,200), Wyoming (+8,200), and North Dakota (+5,500). (See table D.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment for Selected Metropolitan Areas (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Thirteen metropolitan statistical areas in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi contained one or more
counties or parishes designated by FEMA as disaster counties after Hurricane Katrina. (Because monthly
data for metropolitan areas are not adjusted for seasonal variations, the changes in employment are presented
on an over-the-year basis.) Of the thirteen areas, New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La., reported the largest
4
loss of jobs over the year, with a decline of 232,000, followed by Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss. (-30,500), Pascagoula, Miss. (-6,000), Hattiesburg, Miss. (-2,700), Jackson, Miss. (-2,300), Monroe, La. (-1,300), and
Baton Rouge, La. (-800). All of the other areas reported small employment gains over the year. The largest
over-the-year percentage losses in employment occurred in New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La. (-38.0 percent), Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss. (-26.7 percent), and Pascagoula, Miss. (-11.1 percent). (See table E.)
______________________________
The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release for September is scheduled to be issued
on November 2. The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for October is scheduled
to be issued on November 22.
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.

Metropolitan areas containing one or more counties designated by FEMA as disaster counties.
p = preliminary.
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
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, 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/.
