REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT – APRIL 2010
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed or slightly lower in April. Thirtyfour states and the District of Columbia recorded unemployment rate decreases, 6 states had increases,
and 10 states had no change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Thirty-eight states and
the District of Columbia recorded unemployment rate increases from a year earlier, 10 states had
decreases, and 2 states had no change. The national jobless rate increased by 0.2 percentage point to 9.9
percent, up from 8.9 percent in April 2009.
In April, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 38 states and the District of Columbia and decreased
in 12 states. The largest over-the-month increase in employment occurred in Ohio (+37,300), followed
by Pennsylvania (+34,000), New York (+32,700), Texas (+32,500), and Virginia (+28,100). Arizona,
Indiana, Kansas, and Virginia experienced the largest over-the-month percentage increases in employment (+0.8 percent each), followed by Alabama and Ohio (+0.7 percent each). The largest over-themonth decreases in employment occurred in Maine (-6,500), Rhode Island (-4,400), Colorado (-4,200),
and New Hampshire (-4,100). Maine experienced the largest over-the-month percentage decrease in
employment (-1.1 percent), followed by Rhode Island (-1.0 percent), New Hampshire (-0.7 percent),
Vermont (-0.6 percent), and Alaska (-0.5 percent). Over the year, nonfarm employment decreased in 48
states and increased in 2 states and the District of Columbia. The largest over-the-year percentage
decreases occurred in Nevada (-3.5 percent), Rhode Island (-2.7 percent), Colorado (-2.6 percent), and
California (-2.5 percent).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
The West reported the highest regional jobless rate in April, 10.9 percent, while the Northeast recorded
the lowest rate, 8.9 percent. The South was the only region to experience a statistically significant overthe-month unemployment rate change (-0.2 percentage point). In contrast, all four regions registered
significant rate increases from a year earlier: the West (+1.1 percentage points), South (+0.9 point),
Northeast (+0.8 point), and Midwest (+0.6 point). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the highest unemployment rate,
11.8 percent in April. The East North Central recorded the next highest jobless rate, 11.2 percent. The
West North Central registered the lowest rate, 7.3 percent, followed by the West South Central, 7.9
percent. Only the South Atlantic division experienced a statistically significant unemployment rate
change from a month earlier (-0.3 percentage point). Seven of the 9 divisions reported significant overthe-year rate changes, all of which were increases. The largest of these occurred in the Pacific, South
Atlantic, and New England divisions (+1.3, +1.1, and +1.0 percentage point(s), respectively).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Michigan again recorded the highest unemployment rate among the states, 14.0 percent in April. The
states with the next highest rates were Nevada, 13.7 percent; California, 12.6 percent; and Rhode Island,
12.5 percent. North Dakota continued to register the lowest jobless rate, 3.8 percent, followed by South
Dakota and Nebraska, 4.7 and 5.0 percent, respectively. The rate in Nevada set a new series high. (All
region, division, and state series begin in 1976.) In total, 27 states posted jobless rates significantly
lower than the U.S. figure of 9.9 percent, 10 states and the District of Columbia had measurably higher
rates, and 13 states had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A
and 3 and chart 1.)
In April, 12 states recorded statistically significant unemployment rate decreases, the largest of which
was in South Carolina (-0.6 percentage point). The District of Columbia also posted an appreciable rate
decrease from a month earlier (-0.5 percentage point). No state reported a significant over-the-month
unemployment rate increase. The remaining 38 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. (See table B.)
Nevada recorded the largest jobless rate increase from April 2009 (+2.7 percentage points), followed by
Mississippi (+2.3 points) and Florida, New Mexico, and Rhode Island (+2.1 points each). Seventeen
additional states and the District of Columbia had smaller, but also statistically significant, increases.
Minnesota reported the largest rate decrease from a year earlier (-1.1 percentage points). Vermont and
North Dakota experienced the only other significant rate decreases (-0.8 and -0.6 percentage point,
respectively). The remaining 25 states registered jobless rates that were not appreciably different from
those of a year earlier. (See table C.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Over the month, 18 states experienced statistically significant increases in employment; 4 states had
statistically significant decreases in employment. The largest statistically significant job gain occurred in
Ohio (+37,300), followed by Pennsylvania (+34,000), New York (+32,700), and Texas (+32,500). The
largest statistically significant decreases in employment occurred in Maine (-6,500), Rhode Island
(-4,400), and New Hampshire (-4,100). (See tables D and 5.)
Over the year, 28 states experienced statistically significant changes in employment; of these, 27 states
experienced decreases and 1 state experienced an increase. The largest statistically significant job losses
occurred in California (-355,500), Florida (-117,900), Georgia (-94,000), and Illinois (-90,300). The
only statistically significant job gain occurred in North Dakota (+6,000). (See table E.)

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

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

1 Includes mining and logging, 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.

p = preliminary.
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.
