REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT – MARCH 2010
Regional and state unemployment rates were little changed in March. Twenty-four states recorded overthe-month unemployment rate increases, 17 states and the District of Columbia registered rate decreases,
and 9 states had no rate change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Forty-four states and
the District of Columbia recorded jobless rate increases from a year earlier, 5 states had decreases, and 1
state had no change. For the third consecutive month, the national unemployment rate was 9.7 percent,
up from 8.6 percent in March 2009.
In March, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 33 states and the District of Columbia and
decreased in 17 states. The largest over-the-month increase in employment occurred in Maryland
(+35,800), followed by Virginia (+24,500), Pennsylvania (+22,600), Indiana (+16,600), and New York
(+11,700). Maryland experienced the largest over-the-month percentage increase in employment (+1.4
percent), followed by the District of Columbia (+1.1 percent) and Arkansas and Delaware (+0.9 percent
each). The largest over-the-month decreases in employment occurred in Michigan (-9,500), Nevada
(-7,100), and Florida (-4,000). Nevada and Vermont experienced the largest over-the-month percentage
decrease in employment (-0.6 percent each), followed by New Hampshire and New Mexico (-0.3 percent each). Over the year, nonfarm employment decreased in 47 states and increased in 3 states and the
District of Columbia. The largest over-the-year percentage decreases occurred in Nevada (-4.6 percent),
Wyoming (-3.5 percent), Arizona (-3.3 percent), and California (-3.2 percent).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
The West reported the highest regional jobless rate in March, 11.0 percent, while the Northeast recorded
the lowest rate, 9.1 percent. The rate in the West set a new series high. (All region, division, and state
series begin in 1976.) No region experienced a statistically significant over-the-month unemployment
rate change. All four regions registered significant rate increases from a year earlier: the West (+1.5 percentage points), South (+1.4 points), Northeast (+1.3 points), and Midwest (+1.0 point). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the highest unemployment rate,
11.9 percent in March. The East North Central recorded the next highest jobless rate, 11.4 percent. The
West North Central registered the lowest rate, 7.3 percent, followed by the West South Central, 7.9 percent. The Pacific rate set a new series high, as did the South Atlantic rate (10.6 percent). No division
experienced a statistically significant unemployment rate change from a month earlier. In contrast, 8 of
the 9 divisions reported significant over-the-year rate changes, all of which were increases. The largest
of these occurred in the Pacific and South Atlantic (+1.7 percentage points each).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Michigan again recorded the highest unemployment rate among the states, 14.1 percent in March. The
states with the next highest rates were Nevada, 13.4 percent; California and Rhode Island, 12.6 percent
each; Florida, 12.3 percent; and South Carolina, 12.2 percent. North Dakota continued to register the
lowest jobless rate, 4.0 percent in March, followed by South Dakota and Nebraska, 4.8 and 5.0 percent,
respectively. The rates in California, Florida, and Nevada set new series highs, as did the rate in Georgia
(10.6 percent). In total, 24 states posted jobless rates significantly lower than the U.S. figure of 9.7 percent, 11 states and the District of Columbia had measurably higher rates, and 15 states had rates that
were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3 and chart 1.)
Four states—Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, and Virginia—reported statistically significant over-themonth unemployment rate increases in March (+0.2 percentage point each). Massachusetts was the only
state to record a significant over-the-month jobless rate decrease (-0.2 percentage point). The District of
Columbia also posted an appreciable rate decrease from a month earlier (-0.3 percentage point). The
remaining 45 states registered jobless rates that were not measurably different from those of a month
earlier, though some had changes that were at least as large numerically as the significant changes.
Nevada recorded the largest jobless rate increase from March 2009 (+2.8 percentage points), followed
by Florida (+2.7 points) and Mississippi and West Virginia (+2.6 points each). Twenty-five additional
states and the District of Columbia had smaller, but also statistically significant, increases. Minnesota
reported the only significant rate decrease from a year earlier (-0.7 percentage point). The remaining 20
states registered jobless rates that were not appreciably different from those of a year earlier. (See
table B.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Between February and March 2010, 11 states and the District of Columbia experienced statistically
significant increases in employment; 2 states had statistically significant decreases in employment. The
largest statistically significant job gains occurred in Maryland (+35,800), followed by Virginia
(+24,500), Pennsylvania (+22,600), and Indiana (+16,600). The statistically significant decreases in
employment occurred in Nevada (-7,100) and Vermont (-1,900). (See tables C and 5.)
Over the year, 39 states experienced statistically significant changes in employment, all of which were
decreases. The largest statistically significant job losses occurred in California (-458,600), Texas
(-160,800), Florida (-149,600), Illinois (-148,500), and Ohio (-147,000). The smallest statistically
significant job losses occurred in Delaware (-7,800) and Hawaii (-9,400). (See table D.)
The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release for March is scheduled to
be released on Wednesday, April 28, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Regional and State
Employment and Unemployment news release for April is scheduled to be released on Friday,
May 21, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).

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 to 4). Also presented are nonfarm
payroll employment estimates by state and major industry
sector 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 LAUS program measures
employment and unemployment on a place-of-residence
basis. The universe for each is the civilian noninstitutional
population 16 years of age and over. 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 were not employed
during the reference week (based on the definition above),
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. The labor
force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons. The
unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percent
of the labor force.
Method of estimation. Estimates for 48 of the 50
states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long
Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, New York City, and
the balances of California and New York State 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) programs. Estimates for the state of California
are derived by summing the estimates for the Los AngelesLong Beach-Glendale metropolitan division and the balance
of California. Similarly, estimates for New York State are
derived by summing the estimates for New York City and the
balance of New York State. Estimates for all nine census
divisions and the five additional substate areas contained in
this release (the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor and DetroitWarren-Livonia metropolitan areas and the Chicago-JolietNaperville, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and SeattleBellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions) and their respective
balances of state are based on a similar regression approach
that does not incorporate CES or UI data. Estimates for
census regions are obtained by summing the model-based
estimates for the component divisions and then calculating
the unemployment rate. Each month, census division estimates are controlled to national totals; state estimates are then
controlled to their respective division totals. Substate and
balance-of-state estimates for the five areas noted above are
controlled to their respective state totals. Estimates for
Puerto Rico are derived from a monthly household survey
similar to the CPS. A detailed description of the estimation
procedures is available from BLS upon request.
Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data
for prior years reflect adjustments made at the end of each
year. The adjusted estimates reflect updated population data
from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data
sources, and model reestimation. In most years, historical
data for the most recent five years (both seasonally adjusted
and not seasonally adjusted) are revised near the beginning of
each calendar year, prior to or coincident with the release of
January estimates.
Seasonal adjustment. The LAUS program introduced
smoothed-seasonally-adjusted (SSA) estimates in January
2010. These are seasonally-adjusted data that have incurporated a long-run trend smoothing procedure, resulting in
estimates that are less volatile than those previously produced. The estimates are smoothed using a Henderson Trend
Filter (H13). The H13 uses a filtering procedure, based on
moving averages, to remove the irregular fluctuations from
the seasonally-adjusted series, leaving the trend. The same
process is used on both historical and current year estimates.
Seasonally-adjusted labor force estimates from January
1976 through December 2009 were replaced with the SSA
estimates for all four census regions, nine census divisions,
all States, the District of Columbia, New York City, the Los
Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, and the
respective balances of New York and California. Seasonallyadjusted estimates for the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor and
Detroit-Warren-Livonia metropolitan areas and the ChicagoJoliet-Naperville, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and SeattleBellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions and the respective
balances of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, and
Washington were also replaced from January 1983 through
December 2009. For more information about the smoothing
technique and the reasons behind the change, see the BLS
Web site at www.bls.gov/lau/lassaqa.htm.
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
1, 2009. A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available
on the Internet at www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.
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 2007 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. Small-domain models
are used as the official estimators for the approximately 39
percent of CES published series which have insufficient
sample for direct sample-based estimates.
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 “sum-ofstates” 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 surveys, 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.
Unemployment rates are computed from
unrounded data and thus may differ slightly from rates
computed using the rounded data displayed in the tables.
Use of error measures. In 2005, the LAUS program
introduced several improvements to its methodology. Among
these were the development of model-based error measures
for the monthly estimates and the estimates of over-themonth 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 statistical significance into consideration.
Labor force and unemployment estimates. Modelbased error measures for both seasonally adjusted and not
seasonally adjusted data and for over-the-month changes are
available online at 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 current year 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 just over 0.2 percentage point. The average amount
of the current over-the-year change in a state unemployment
rate to be considered statistically significant is between 0.8
and 0.9 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
Employment
and
Earnings
Online
at
www.bls.gov/opub/ee/home.htm.
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 online at 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 Internet at 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 Online.
Estimates of labor force and unemployment from the
LAUS program, as well as nonfarm employment from the
CES program, for over 300 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

NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Estimates are currently estimated
from 2009 benchmark levels. Estimates subsequent to the current benchmarks are
provisional and will be revised when new information becomes available.
