REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: JUNE 2006
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed in June. Overall, 20 states and the
District of Columbia recorded over-the-month unemployment rate decreases, 19 states registered rate
increases, and 11 states had no change, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor
reported today. Over the year, jobless rates were down in 40 states and the District of Columbia, up in
6 states, and unchanged in 4 states. The national unemployment rate was unchanged in June at 4.6 percent,
but was 0.4 percentage point lower than a year earlier.
Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 34 states and decreased in 16 states and the District of
Columbia. The largest employment increases were recorded in Texas (+30,000), Minnesota (+14,700),
North Carolina (+11,700), California (+11,000), Virginia (+9,100), and New York (+8,700). Nebraska
and Utah posted the largest over-the-month percentage increases in employment (+0.6 percent each),
followed by Minnesota (+0.5 percent), Nevada (+0.4 percent), and Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, Montana,
North Carolina, North Dakota, and Texas (+0.3 percent each). The largest employment decreases occurred
in Georgia (-15,500), Ohio and Wisconsin (-5,600 each), South Carolina (-5,100), Missouri (-3,700), and
Mississippi (-3,400). Georgia experienced the largest over-the-month percentage decline in employment
(-0.4 percent), followed by the District of Columbia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Vermont, and Wyoming
(-0.3 percent each), and Oregon and Wisconsin (-0.2 percent each). Over the year, nonfarm employment
increased in 47 states and the District of Columbia and decreased in 3 states (Louisiana, Michigan, and
Mississippi). The largest over-the-year percentage gains in employment were reported in Nevada (+5.3
percent), Idaho (+5.2 percent), Utah (+5.0 percent), and Arizona (+4.9 percent).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
The South again registered the lowest jobless rate among the regions in June, 4.5 percent, followed by
the Northeast, 4.6 percent, West, 4.7 percent, and Midwest, 4.8 percent. None of the four regions posted
a statistically significant change in its jobless rate from May. Over the year, unemployment rates were down
significantly in the Midwest (-0.6 percentage point), West (-0.5 point), and South (-0.4 point). (See
table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the areas with the lowest unemployment rates in June were the
West North Central, 3.9 percent, South Atlantic, 4.0 percent, and Mountain, 4.1 percent. The East South
Central and East North Central divisions again recorded the highest rates, 5.4 and 5.1 percent, respectively.
No division posted a statistically significant rate change from a month earlier. Five divisions reported signi-
2
ficant over-the-year unemployment rate declines: the East North Central (-0.8 percentage point), South
Atlantic and West North Central (-0.6 point each), and Mountain and Pacific (-0.5 point each). No division
registered a jobless rate increase from a year earlier.
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Florida and South Dakota posted the lowest unemployment rates in June, 3.0 percent each. Hawaii,
Nebraska, Utah, and Virginia had the next lowest rates, 3.1 percent each. The states recording the highest
jobless rates were Mississippi, 7.1 percent, South Carolina, 6.7 percent, Alaska, 6.6 percent, and Michigan,
6.3 percent. In June, 17 states registered unemployment rates that were significantly below the U.S. rate,
9 states reported measurably higher rates, and 24 states and the District of Columbia had rates that were
little different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3 and chart 1.)
Three states posted statistically significant unemployment rate decreases from May: Alaska (-0.5 percentage point), Utah (-0.4 point), and Montana (-0.3 point). Three states registered significant over-themonth rate increases: Vermont (+0.3 percentage point) and Iowa and Nevada (+0.2 point each). The
remaining 44 states and the District of Columbia had June unemployment rates that were not appreciably
different from those of a month earlier, even though some had changes that were at least as large numerically
as those with statistically significant changes.
The states with the largest over-the-year jobless rate declines in June were Illinois (-1.4 percentage
points), New Mexico and Utah (-1.2 points each), and Iowa (-1.0 point). Twenty-four states had smaller
statistically significant rate decreases. The District of Columbia also reported a significant rate decrease
(-1.1 percentage points). Four states registered significant unemployment rate increases from a year earlier:
New Jersey (+0.6 percentage point), Rhode Island (+0.5 point), Hawaii (+0.4 point), and Arkansas (+0.3
point). Eighteen states recorded jobless rates that were not appreciably different from those of June 2005.
(See table B.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Between May and June, five states reported statistically significant changes in employment, all of which
were increases. The gains were in Texas (+30,000), Minnesota (+14,700), North Carolina (+11,700), Utah
(+6,700), and Nebraska (+5,500). (See tables C and 5.)
Over the year, 34 states and the District of Columbia posted statistically significant changes in employment. All had gains in employment except for Louisiana (-175,200), which was heavily impacted by Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast in late August 2005. The largest employment gains occurred in
Florida (+270,900), Texas (+259,900), California (+235,600), Arizona (+122,200), and North Carolina
(+100,300). Five states and the District of Columbia recorded statistically significant gains in employment
that were less than 15,000: the District of Columbia (+9,500), South Dakota (+9,400), Wyoming (+9,000),
Montana (+8,900), Delaware (+7,200), and North Dakota (+6,300). (See table D.)

Hurricane Katrina
For June, BLS and its state partners continued to make modifications to the usual estimation procedures for the LAUS program to reflect the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the
labor force statistics in affected areas. These modifications included: (1) allowing the state
labor force estimates for Louisiana to reflect the effects of Katrina by overriding the built-in
feature of the methodology that smoothes over large shifts in a key input—nonfarm wage and
salary employment; (2) modifying the state population controls to account for displacement
due to Katrina; (3) developing labor force estimates for the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner
metropolitan area using an alternative to the model-based method; and (4) not publishing
labor force estimates for the parishes within the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan
area or cities within those parishes where the quality of input data was severely compromised
by the hurricane.

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 had 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), had actively
looked for a job (sometime in the 4-week period ending with the
reference week), and were 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 December 5, 2005.
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 that 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 that 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 “sumof-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.
Use of error measures. In 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. 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.
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
between 0.3 and 0.4 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/.

to develop these estimates and additional data appear in

p = preliminary.
NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Estimates are currently projected
from 2005 benchmark levels. Estimates subsequent to the current benchmarks are
provisional and will be revised when new information becomes available.
