REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — AUGUST 2011
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed in August. Twenty-six states and
the District of Columbia reported unemployment rate increases, 12 states recorded rate decreases, and 12
states had no rate change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Thirty-seven states
registered unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, 11 states and the District of Columbia had
increases, and 2 states experienced no change. The national jobless rate was unchanged at 9.1 percent
but was 0.5 percentage point lower than a year earlier.
In August, nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 30 states and the District of Columbia and
increased in 20 states. The largest over-the-month decrease in employment occurred in New York
(-22,700), followed by Georgia (-18,200) and the District of Columbia (-12,500). The largest over-themonth increase in employment occurred in Minnesota (+28,400), followed by North Carolina (+16,500),
Arizona (+15,400), and Florida (+9,900). The District of Columbia experienced the largest over-themonth percentage decline in employment (-1.8 percent), followed by Rhode Island (-1.3 percent) and
Hawaii (-0.9 percent). Minnesota experienced the largest over-the-month percentage increase in
employment (+1.1 percent), followed by Arizona (+0.6 percent) and Idaho and Vermont (+0.5 percent
each). Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 44 states and the District of Columbia and
decreased in 6 states. The largest over-the-year percentage increase occurred in North Dakota (+5.0
percent), followed by Utah and Wyoming (+3.0 percent each). The largest over-the-year percentage
decrease in employment occurred in Delaware (-1.0 percent), followed by Georgia and Indiana (-0.8
percent each).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
The West recorded the highest regional unemployment rate in August, 10.6 percent, while the Northeast
reported the lowest rate, 8.2 percent. Over the month, the Midwest was the only region to experience a
statistically significant jobless rate change (+0.2 percentage point). Two of the regions had significant
rate changes from a year earlier, both decreases: the Midwest (-0.5 percentage point) and West (-0.4
point). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the highest jobless rate, 11.2
percent in August. The West North Central again registered the lowest rate, 6.9 percent. Over the month,
the East North Central was the only division to experience a statistically significant unemployment rate
change (+0.2 percentage point). The East North Central also recorded the only significant rate change
among divisions over the year (-0.6 percentage point).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Nevada continued to report the highest unemployment rate among the states, 13.4 percent in August.
California posted the next highest rate, 12.1 percent. North Dakota registered the lowest jobless rate, 3.5
percent, followed by Nebraska, 4.2 percent. In total, 25 states reported jobless rates significantly lower
than the U.S. figure of 9.1 percent, 8 states and the District of Columbia had measurably higher rates,
and 17 states had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3
and chart 1.)
Seven states experienced statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate increases in
August. Illinois and Pennsylvania reported the largest of these (+0.4 percentage point each), followed by
North Carolina (+0.3 point); Maryland, North Dakota, and Virginia (+0.2 point each); and Georgia (+0.1
point). The District of Columbia also posted a significant over-the-month rate increase (+0.3 percentage
point). The remaining 43 states recorded 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.
New Mexico registered the largest jobless rate decrease from August 2010 (-1.9 percentage points). Four
additional states reported smaller but also statistically significant decreases over the year: Oklahoma
(-1.4 percentage points), Indiana (-1.3 points), Oregon (-1.1 points), and Florida (-0.9 point). The
District of Columbia posted the only significant rate increase from a year earlier (+1.3 percentage
points). Forty-five states recorded unemployment rates that were not appreciably different from those of
a year earlier.
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Over the month, 13 states and the District of Columbia recorded statistically significant changes in
employment. The largest over-the-month statistically significant declines in employment occurred in
New York (-22,700), Georgia (-18,200), and the District of Columbia (-12,500). The largest over-themonth statistically significant job gains occurred in Minnesota (+28,400), North Carolina (+16,500), and
Arizona (+15,400). (See tables B and 5.)
Over the year, 25 states experienced statistically significant changes in employment, 24 of which were
increases. The largest increase occurred in Texas (+253,200), followed by California (+171,300), New
York (+83,400), Ohio (+80,300), and Michigan (+79,800). The only state with an over-the-year
statistically significant decrease in employment was Georgia (-29,500). (See table C and chart 2.)

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 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. For more information about the smoothing technique, 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 seasonally adjusted and not
seasonally adjusted data and for over-the-month and overthe-year
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 for statistical
significance at the 90-percent confidence level is just over 0.2
percentage point; the average amount of the current over-theyear change in a state rate for significance is about 0.9 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 380 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 approximately 7,300 subnational areas are
available on the Internet at www.bls.gov/lau/. Employment
data from the CES program for states and metropolitan areas
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. Estimates are currently estimated
from 2010 benchmark levels. Estimates subsequent to the current benchmarks are
provisional and will be revised when new information becomes available.
