REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: JANUARY 2007
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed in January. Overall, 26 states
and the District of Columbia recorded over-the-month unemployment rate decreases, 18 states registered
increases, and 6 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 36 states, up in 10 states and the District of
Columbia, and unchanged in 4 states. The national unemployment rate was essentially unchanged in January
at 4.6 percent.
Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 36 states and decreased in 14 states and the District of
Columbia in January. The largest employment gains occurred in Illinois (+19,900), Arizona (+16,900),
Georgia (+16,100), New York (+15,600), Minnesota (+13,100), and North Carolina (+12,700). Montana
posted the largest percentage increase in employment (+0.7 percent), followed by Arizona (+0.6 percent),
Minnesota (+0.5 percent), and Georgia, Kansas, New Mexico, and Utah (+0.4 percent each). The largest
employment decreases occurred in Michigan (-23,900), Wisconsin (-13,600), Indiana (-12,500), Ohio
(-12,000), and Texas (-7,400). Michigan experienced the largest over-the-month percentage decline in
employment (-0.6 percent), followed by South Dakota and Wisconsin (-0.5 percent each), Indiana (-0.4
percent), Alaska (-0.3 percent), and North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, and West Virginia (-0.2 percent
each). (See table 5.) Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 46 states and the District of
Columbia and decreased in 4 states. The largest over-the-year percentage gains in employment were
reported in Louisiana (+4.6 percent), Arizona and Utah (+4.2 percent each), Idaho (+3.8 percent),
Wyoming (+3.5 percent), and Nevada (+3.2 percent).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
In January, the South registered the lowest unemployment rate among the four regions, 4.2 percent,
followed by the Northeast and West at 4.5 percent each. The Midwest continued to report the highest
jobless rate, 5.0 percent. No region recorded a statistically significant unemployment rate change from
December. In contrast, three of the four regions posted significant unemployment rate changes from a year
earlier: the South (-0.4 percentage point), West (-0.3 point), and Northeast (-0.2 point). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, those reporting the lowest January unemployment rates were the
Mountain, 3.8 percent, South Atlantic, 4.0 percent, and West North Central, 4.1 percent. The East North
Central division again recorded the highest rate, 5.4 percent. No division registered a statistically significant
over-the-month rate change. Four of the nine divisions reported significant unemployment rate changes from
2
a year earlier, all of which were declines: the West South Central (-0.8 percentage point), East South
Central (-0.7 point), and Middle Atlantic and Mountain (-0.4 point each).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Hawaii again recorded the lowest unemployment rate, 2.2 percent, in January. The states posting the
next lowest rates were Utah and Wyoming at 2.6 percent each, Montana at 2.7 percent, and Virginia at
2.8 percent. Michigan reported the highest unemployment rate, 6.9 percent, followed by Alaska and South
Carolina at 6.4 percent each and Mississippi at 6.2 percent. The District of Columbia recorded an unemployment rate of 6.1 percent. Four states posted the lowest jobless rates in their series—Alabama,
3.3 percent; Idaho, 3.0 percent; Montana, 2.7 percent; and West Virginia, 4.0 percent. (All state series
begin in 1976.) Eighteen states registered unemployment rates that were significantly below the U.S. rate in
January, 6 states and the District of Columbia recorded measurably higher rates, and 26 states had rates that
were statistically little different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3 and chart 1.)
West Virginia registered the largest over-the-month unemployment rate decrease in January (-1.0 percentage point). Three additional states also recorded statistically significant rate decreases from December:
Kansas and Rhode Island (-0.4 percentage point each) and Texas (-0.2 point). Illinois posted the only
significant over-the-month jobless rate increase (+0.5 percentage point). The remaining 45 states and the
District of Columbia reported January 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.
Mississippi recorded the largest over-the-year jobless rate decrease from January 2006 (-1.4 percentage
points). The states with the next largest rate decreases were Louisiana and New Mexico (-0.9 percentage
point each) and Montana and Utah (-0.8 point each). Fourteen additional states had smaller, but also statistically significant, rate decreases. Three states reported significant unemployment rate increases from a year
earlier—Massachusetts (+0.5 percentage point) and Nevada and Vermont (+0.4 point each). Twenty-eight
states and the District of Columbia recorded jobless rates that were not appreciably different from those of
January 2006. (See table B.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Between December 2006 and January 2007, nine states reported statistically significant changes in
employment. Employment rose in Illinois (+19,900), Arizona (+16,900), Minnesota (+13,100), North
Carolina (+12,700), Utah (+5,200), and Montana (+3,100). Employment decreased in Michigan (-23,900),
Wisconsin (-13,600) and Indiana (-12,500). (See tables C and 5.)
Over the year, 28 states and the District of Columbia posted statistically significant increases in
employment. The largest employment increases occurred in California (+251,400), Texas (+243,800),
Florida (+145,200), and Arizona (+110,000). Three states and the District of Columbia recorded
statistically significant gains in employment that were less than 15,000: Wyoming (+9,600), Montana
(+9,200), North Dakota (+7,500), and the District of Columbia (+7,400). The only state to post a
statistically significant decrease in employment was Michigan (-66,700). (See table D.)

Revisions to Regional, State, and Metropolitan Area Data Series
Effective with the release of 2006 annual average estimates on March 2, the historical
labor force data for regions, divisions, states, the District of Columbia, and the modeled
substate areas presented in tables 1-4 of this news release were revised to incorporate
updated population controls, reestimation of models, and adjustment to new division and
national control totals. Estimates in tables 1 and 3 of this release also incorporate revised
seasonal adjustment factors. Both the not seasonally adjusted and seasonally adjusted data
series were revised back to January 2002. The updated population controls reflect the
annual updating of population estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau.
In addition, effective with this release, nonfarm payroll estimates for states and areas
have been revised to reflect 2006 benchmark levels (tables 5 and 6), as well as updated
seasonal adjustment factors (table 5). For all states, not seasonally adjusted data back to
April 2005 and seasonally adjusted data back to January 2002 were revised. In order to
incorporate improved procedures for minimizing series breaks, for many states, not seasonally adjusted data were revised prior to April 2005 and seasonally adjusted data were
revised prior to January 2002. For more information on benchmark procedures, see http://
www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm; for more information on the comprehensive employment
data review, see http://www.bls.gov/sae/2006bmk.htm.
Hurricane Katrina
For January, 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) modifying the
state population controls to account for displacement due to Katrina; (2) developing labor
force estimates for the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area using an alternative
to the model-based method; and (3) 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/lausmsa.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/.

1 Includes natural resources and mining, information, and other services, except
public administration, not shown separately.
2 This series is not published seasonally adjusted because the seasonal
component, which is small relative to the trend-cycle and irregular components, cannot
be separated with sufficient precision.
3 Natural resources and mining is combined with construction.
p = preliminary.
NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Data have been revised to reflect
2006 benchmarks and updated seasonal adjustment factors. Seasonally adjusted data
from January 2002 for most states are subject to revision. Estimates subsequent to the
current benchmark are provisional and will be revised when new information becomes
available.
