REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — OCTOBER 2013
Regional and state unemployment rates were little changed in October. Twenty-eight states had
unemployment rate decreases from September, 11 states and the District of Columbia had increases, and
11 states had no change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Thirty-eight states had
unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, 10 states and the District of Columbia had increases,
and 2 states had no change. The national jobless rate was little changed from September at 7.3 percent
and was 0.6 percentage point lower than in October 2012.
In October 2013, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 34 states, decreased in 15 states, and was
unchanged in the District of Columbia and Pennsylvania. The largest over-the-month increases in
employment occurred in Florida (+44,600), California (+39,800), and North Carolina (+22,200). The
largest over-the-month decrease in employment occurred in Kentucky (-12,600), followed by
Washington (-8,100), New Jersey (-5,500), and Virginia (-5,400). The largest over-the-month
percentage increase in employment occurred in Wyoming (+1.0 percent), followed by Delaware,
Florida, and Nevada (+0.6 percent each). The largest over-the-month percentage decline in employment
occurred in Kentucky (-0.7 percent), followed by South Dakota (-0.6 percent) and Washington (-0.3
percent). Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 49 states and decreased in Alaska (-0.9
percent) and the District of Columbia (-0.1 percent). The largest over-the-year percentage increase
occurred in North Dakota (+3.5 percent), followed by Florida (+2.5 percent) and Idaho and Texas (+2.4
percent each).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
In October, the West continued to have the highest regional unemployment rate, 7.8 percent, while the
South had the lowest rate, 6.9 percent. Over the month, only the South had a statistically significant
unemployment rate change (-0.1 percentage point). Significant over-the-year rate changes occurred in
three regions: the West (-1.1 percentage points) and Northeast and South (-0.6 point each). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific had the highest jobless rate, 8.2 percent in October.
The West North Central again had the lowest rate, 5.1 percent. Two divisions had statistically significant
over-the-month unemployment rate changes: the West North Central (-0.3 percentage point) and South
Atlantic (-0.2 point). Three divisions had significant rate changes from a year earlier: the Pacific
(-1.3 percentage points), South Atlantic (-1.0 point), and Middle Atlantic (-0.7 point).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Nevada had the highest unemployment rate among the states in October, 9.3 percent. The next highest
rates were in Rhode Island, 9.2 percent, and Michigan, 9.0 percent. North Dakota continued to have the
lowest jobless rate, 2.7 percent. In total, 17 states had jobless rates significantly lower than the U.S.
figure of 7.3 percent, 9 states and the District of Columbia had measurably higher rates, and 24 states
had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3 and chart 1.)
Eleven states had statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate decreases in October, the
largest of which occurred in Missouri and South Carolina (-0.4 percentage point each). The District of
Columbia had the only significant unemployment rate increase over the month (+0.3 percentage point).
The remaining 39 states had 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.)
Thirteen states had statistically significant unemployment rate changes from October 2012, all of which
were declines. The largest of these occurred in Florida (-1.5 percentage points), followed by California
and North Carolina (-1.4 points each). (See table C.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
In October 2013, 18 states had statistically significant over-the-month changes in employment, 15 of
which were increases. The largest statistically significant job gains occurred in Florida (+44,600),
California (+39,800), and North Carolina (+22,200). The three statistically significant job decreases
occurred in Kentucky (-12,600), Washington (-8,100), and South Dakota (-2,600). (See tables D and 5.)
Over the year, 29 states had statistically significant changes in employment, all of which were positive.
The largest over-the-year job increase occurred in Texas (+267,400), followed by California (+207,300)
and Florida (+182,200). (See table E and chart 2.)
_____________
The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release for October is scheduled to
be released on Thursday, December 5, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. (EST). The Regional and State
Employment and Unemployment news release for November is scheduled to be released on
Friday, December 20, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. (EST).

Partial Federal Government Shutdown
Bureau of Labor Statistics data collection, analysis, and dissemination activities were
suspended from October 1, 2013, through October 16, 2013, due to the partial shutdown
of the federal government. The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment
news release for September 2013, which had been scheduled for October 22, 2013, was
cancelled due to the lack of adequate processing time upon resumption of operations.
Subnational employment and unemployment estimates for the latest month are generally
preliminary, subject to revision the following month. With the publication of this news
release highlighting preliminary data for October 2013, estimates for September 2013 are
being issued for the first time. These September estimates will not be subject to further
updating until early 2014, per our usual annual revision activities. A summary of the final
data from September 2013 is included in the second box note in this news release.
Revised data for August 2013, which would have been issued in the news release for
September 2013, are included in this release.
The civilian labor force and unemployment data in this news release are model-based
estimates consistent with the household data from the Current Population Survey, while
the nonfarm payroll employment data come from the Current Employment Statistics
survey of business establishments. Information on the impact of the partial federal
government shutdown on these surveys is available at
www.bls.gov/bls/shutdown_2013_empsit_qa.pdf.

Technical Note
This release prese nts labor force and unem ployment
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 i ndustry
supersector 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 al l 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 t emporarily
absent, whether or not paid, for such reasons as bad weather,
labor-management dispute, illness, or vacation. Unemployed
persons are t hose who were not employed during the
reference week (based on the d efinition 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 c ounted as u nemployed. The labor force is th e
sum of em ployed and unemployed persons. The unemployment rate is th e number of unemployed as a p ercent of th e
labor force.
Method of estimation. Estimates for 4 8 of the 50
states, the District of Colu mbia, the Los Ang eles-Long
Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, New York City, and
the balances of California and New York State are produc ed
using estimating equations based on re gression techniques.
This method, which underwent substantial enhancement at
the beginning of 2005, utilizes data from sev eral 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 t he 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 Ne w York State. Estimates for all n ine census
divisions and the five additional substate areas con tained in
this release (the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor and DetroitWarren-Livonia metropolitan areas and the Ch icago-JolietNaperville, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and
SeattleBellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions) and their respective
balances of state are base d 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 t he 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 to tals. Estimates for
Puerto Rico are deri ved from a monthly household survey
similar to the CPS. A d etailed description of the estimation
procedures is available from BLS upon request.
Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data
for prior years reflect ad justments made at the end of each
year. The adjusted estim ates 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 adjuste d data that have
incorporated a long-run trend smoothing procedure, resulting
in estimates that are less volatile than those previously
produced. The estimates are sm oothed using a He nderson
Trend Filter (H13). The H13 uses a filtering procedure, based
on moving averages, to remove the irregular fluctuations
from the seasonally adjusted series, leav ing the trend. The
same process is used on both historical and current year
estimates. For m ore information about the smoothing
technique,
see the
BLS we
bsite
at
www.bls.gov/lau/lassaqa.htm.
Area definitions. The substate area data published in
this release reflect th e 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
online 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 the ir 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 2012 version
of the North American Industry Classification System.
Method of estimation. CES State and Are
a
employment data are produced using several estimation
procedures. Where possible these data are produced using a
"weighted link relative" estimation technique in which a ratio
of current-month weighted employment to that of the
previous-month weighted employment is computed from a
sample of est ablishments reporting for both months. The
estimates of em ployment for the current month are t hen
obtained by multiplying these ratios by the previous month’s
employment estimates. The weighted link relative technique
is utilized for data series where the sample size meets certain
statistical criteria.
For some employment series, relativ ely small sample
sizes limit the reliability of the weighted link-relative
estimates. In these cases, B LS uses t he CES sm all domain
model (SDM) to generate employment estimates. The SDM
combines the direct sample estimates (described above) and
forecasts of historical (be nchmarked) data to decrea se the
volatility of the esti mates. With the Jan uary 2013 estimates
published on March 18, 2013, BLS will refine the SDM
methodology to incorporate more real-time information in the
model.
For more detailed information about the CES sm all
domain model, refer to the BLS Handbook of Methods.
Annual revisions. Employment estimates are adjusted
annually to a co mplete count of jobs, called benchmarks,
derived principally from tax reports that are su bmitted 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 al so to establi sh the level of
employment for the new benchmark month. Thus, the
benchmarking process establishes the level of employment,
and the sample is used t o 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 othe r states, the seasonally adjusted payroll
employment total is ind ependently adjusted. Revisions of
historical data for the m ost recent 5 years are m ade 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. B LS independently develops a national
employment series; state estim ates are not forced t o 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 aggre gate level. Due to
these statistical limitations, BLS does not compile a "sum-ofstates" employment series, and cautions users that such a
series is su bject to a relat ively large and volatile error
structure.
Reliability of the estimates
The estimates presented in this release are base d on
sample surveys, administrative data, and modeling and, thus,
are subject to sampling and other types of errors. Sampling
error is a m easure of sampling variability—that is, variation
that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire
population is su rveyed. Survey data also are s ubject to
nonsampling errors, such as those which can be i ntroduced
into the data collection and processing operations. Estimates
not directly derived from sample surveys are su bject to
additional errors resulting from the specific estimation
processes used. The sums of individual items may not always
equal the tot als shown in the sa me tables because of
rounding. Unemployment rates are com puted from unrounded data and t hus 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 t he 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. T he remainder of the analysis in t he
release takes statistical significance into consideration.
Labor force and unemployment estimates. Modelbased error measures for seasonally adjuste d and not
seasonally adjusted data an d 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. T he average
magnitude of the current year over-the-month change in a
state unemployment rate th at is requ ired 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 website. Measures of
nonsampling error are not available.
Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error for
state CES data at the total nonfarm and supersector levels 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 r ecent benchmark revisions for
states is available online at www.bls.gov/sae/.
