REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT – JANUARY 2011
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally unchanged in January. Twenty-four states
recorded unemployment rate decreases, 10 states registered rate increases, and 16 states and the District
of Columbia had no change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Thirty-nine states and
the District of Columbia posted unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, 9 states reported
increases, and 2 states had no change. The national jobless rate fell by 0.4 percentage point between
December 2010 and January 2011 to 9.0 percent, 0.7 point lower than in January 2010.
In January nonfarm payroll employment increased in 35 states and the District of Columbia, and
decreased in 15 states. The largest over-the-month increase in employment occurred in Texas (+44,100),
followed by Michigan (+39,700), Ohio (+31,900), Illinois (+24,500), and California (+22,600). Vermont
experienced the largest over-the-month percent increase in employment (+1.8 percent), followed by
Maine (+1.2 percent), Idaho and Michigan (+1.0 percent each), and Montana and North Dakota (+0.7
percent each). The largest over-the-month decrease in employment occurred in Georgia (-15,300),
followed by New Jersey (-13,000), Florida (-12,900), South Carolina (-8,500), and Maryland (-7,100).
South Carolina and South Dakota experienced the largest over-the-month percent decreases in
employment (-0.5 percent each), followed by Georgia and Mississippi (-0.4 percent each) and Alabama,
Maryland, New Jersey, and Rhode Island (-0.3 percent each). Over the year, nonfarm employment
increased in 42 states and the District of Columbia, and decreased in 8 states. The largest over-the-year
percent increase occurred in North Dakota (+4.6 percent), followed by Vermont (+2.7 percent), Texas
(+2.5 percent), and Alaska (+2.4 percent). The largest over-the-year percent decrease in employment
occurred in Nevada (-0.7 percent), followed by New Jersey (-0.5 percent), Kansas (-0.4 percent), and
Arizona and New Mexico (-0.3 percent each).
Regional, State, and Metropolitan Area Data Series Changes
In accordance with annual practices, historical data have been revised in tables 1 through 6 of
this news release. For detailed information on changes to the data, see the box notes at the end
of the news release.
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
The West reported the highest regional unemployment rate in January, 10.9 percent, while the Northeast
and Midwest recorded the lowest rates, 8.4 and 8.5 percent, respectively. The Midwest was the only
region to experience a statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate change (-0.2
percentage point). Two of the 4 regions registered significant rate changes from a year earlier: the
Midwest (-1.6 percentage points) and Northeast (-0.6 point). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the highest jobless rate, 11.5
percent in January. The West North Central again registered the lowest rate, 7.0 percent. The East North
Central was the only division with a statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate change
(-0.2 percentage point). Over the year, three divisions posted significant rate changes, all of which were
declines: the East North Central (-1.9 percentage points), East South Central (-0.9 point), and Middle
Atlantic (-0.6 point).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Nevada continued to register the highest unemployment rate among the states, 14.2 percent in January.
The states with the next highest rates were California, 12.4 percent, and Florida, 11.9 percent. North
Dakota reported the lowest jobless rate, 3.8 percent, followed by Nebraska and South Dakota, 4.2 and
4.7 percent, respectively. One state, Colorado, set a new series high, 9.1 percent. (All region, division,
and state series begin in 1976.) In total 23 states posted jobless rates significantly lower than the U.S.
figure of 9.0 percent, 10 states recorded measurably higher rates, and 17 states and the District of
Columbia had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3
and chart 1.)
In January Nevada experienced the largest over-the-month unemployment rate decline (-0.7 percentage
point), followed by Indiana, Michigan, and South Carolina (-0.4 point each). Statistically significant
declines also were registered in Pennsylvania (-0.3 percentage point), Maryland (-0.2 point), and
Nebraska (-0.1 point). The remaining 43 states and the District of Columbia 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.
Sixteen states reported statistically significant over-the-year jobless rate decreases in January, the largest
of which were in Michigan (-3.0 percentage points) and Illinois (-2.2 points). The remaining 34 states
and the District of Columbia registered unemployment rates that were not appreciably different from
those of a year earlier. (See table B.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Between December 2010 and January 2011, 21 states recorded statistically significant changes in
employment. The largest over-the-month statistically significant job gains occurred in Texas (+44,100),
Michigan (+39,700), Ohio (+31,900), and Illinois (+24,500). Four states experienced statistically
significant over-the-month declines in employment: Georgia (-15,300), New Jersey (-13,000), South
Carolina (-8,500), and Mississippi (-4,200). (See tables C and 5.)
-2-
Over the year, 24 states experienced statistically significant changes in employment, all of which were
increases. The largest increase occurred in Texas (+253,900), followed by California (+89,400),
Pennsylvania (+70,300), Michigan (+68,500), and Illinois (+64,200). (See table D.)
____________
The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release for January 2011 is
scheduled to be released on Friday, March 18, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Regional and
State Employment and Unemployment news release for February is scheduled to be released
on Friday, March 25, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).
Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data
Effective with the release of 2010 annual average estimates on February 25, 2011, the labor
force data for regions, divisions, states, the District of Columbia, and the modeled substate
areas presented in tables 1 through 4 of this news release were revised to incorporate updated
inputs, new 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 not seasonally adjusted and smoothed seasonally adjusted
data were revised back to 2006. The new population controls reflect the annual updating of
population estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau but do not yet reflect results from Census
2010.
Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data
Effective with this release, nonfarm payroll estimates for states and metropolitan areas have
been revised to reflect 2010 benchmark levels (tables 5 and 6), as well as updated seasonal
adjustment factors. For all series, not seasonally adjusted data back to April 2009 were revised.
Seasonally adjusted data from January 1990 were subject to revision.
In addition all seasonally adjusted series for states and metropolitan areas, including those in
table 5, incorporate an improved seasonal adjustment process. The new seasonal adjustment
utilizes calendar effect treatments designed to correct for variations in the number of weeks
between reference periods in any given pair of months. For more information on the presence
and treatment of calendar effects in CES data, see www.bls.gov/ore/pdf/st960190.pdf.
-3-
Upcoming Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data
With the release of preliminary April 2011 estimates in May 2011, state and area nonfarm
employment estimates will incorporate net business birth/death adjustment factors estimated on
a quarterly basis, replacing the current practice of estimating the factors annually. This will
allow the state and area nonfarm employment estimates to incorporate information from the
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages into the net birth/death adjustment factors as soon
as it becomes available and thereby improve the factors.

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
incorporated 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
25,000 or more, and other areas used in the administration of
various federal economic assistance programs are available
on the Internet at www.bls.gov/lau/. Employment data from
the CES program are available on the Internet at
www.bls.gov/sae/.

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.
3 Mining and logging is combined with construction.
p = preliminary.
NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Data have been revised to reflect
2010 benchmarks and updated seasonal adjustment factors. Seasonally adjusted data
from January 1990 are subject to revision. Estimates subsequent to the current
benchmark are provisional and will be revised when new information becomes
available.
