MASS LAYOFFS — MAY 2013
Employers took 1,301 mass layoff actions in May involving 127,821 workers as measured by new
filings for unemployment insurance benefits during the month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. (Data are seasonally adjusted.) Each mass layoff involved at least 50 workers from a
single employer. Mass layoff events increased by 102 from April, and the number of associated initial
claims increased by 10,972. In May, 276 mass layoff events occurred in the manufacturing sector
resulting in 33,527 initial claims. Monthly mass layoff events are identified using administrative data
sources without regard to layoff duration. (See table 1 and the note at the end of this release.)

Mass Layoffs Data Discontinued
On March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the-board spending cuts (commonly
referred to as sequestration) required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as
amended. Under the order, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) must cut its current budget by more
than $30 million, 5 percent of the current 2013 appropriation, by September 30, 2013. In order to help
achieve these savings and protect core programs, the BLS will eliminate two programs, including Mass
Layoff Statistics, and all "measuring green jobs" products. This news release is the final publication of
monthly mass layoff survey data.

See the Technical Note for more information on these industries.
The national unemployment rate was 7.6 percent in May, essentially unchanged from the prior month
and down from 8.2 percent a year earlier. Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 175,000 over
the month, and increased by 2,115,000 over the year.
Industry Distribution (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
The number of mass layoff events in May was 1,383, not seasonally adjusted, resulting in 134,483 initial
claims for unemployment insurance. (See table 2.) Over the year, the number of average weekly mass
layoff events for May decreased by 23 to 277, and associated average weekly initial claims decreased by
418 to 26,897. Ten of the 19 major industry sectors in the private economy reported over-the-year
decreases in average weekly initial claims, with the largest decrease occurring in retail trade and
information. (See table 3.) Temporary help services was the six-digit industry with the largest number of
private nonfarm initial claims due to mass layoffs in May. (See table A.)
The manufacturing sector accounted for 18 percent of mass layoff events and 21 percent of the
associated initial claims in the private economy in May. Within manufacturing, the numbers of mass
layoff claimants were highest in machinery and in food. Eleven of the 21 manufacturing subsectors
experienced over-the-year decreases in average weekly initial claims. (See table 3.)
Geographic Distribution (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Among the census regions, the South had the largest number of initial claims due to mass layoffs in
May. Three of the 4 regions experienced over-the-year increases in average weekly initial claims, with
the largest increase occurring in the South. (See table 4.)
Among the states, California had the highest number of mass layoff initial claims in May, followed by
Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Twenty-eight states and the District of Columbia experienced overthe-year decreases in average weekly initial claims, led by Missouri and New York. (See table 4.)

Note
The monthly data series in this release cover mass layoffs of 50 or more workers beginning in a given
month, regardless of the duration of the layoffs. The monthly data series in this release are subjected to
average weekly analysis, which mitigates the effect of differing lengths of months. See the Technical
Note for more detailed definitions and for a description of average weekly analysis.

Technical Note
The Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) program is a federalstate program that uses a standardized automated approach to
identifying, describing, and tracking the effects of major job
cutbacks, using data from each state's unemployment
insurance database. Each month, states report on employers
which have at least 50 initial claims filed against them during
a consecutive 5-week period. These employers then are
contacted by the state agency to determine whether these
separations lasted 31 days or longer, and, if so, other
information concerning the layoff is collected. States report
on layoffs lasting more than 1 month on a quarterly basis.
The monthly data present preliminary mass layoff
activity in the reference month and are not revised in
subsequent months except in special circumstances (e.g.,
layoffs in states affected by Hurricane Katrina). Counts of
initial claims associated with mass layoff events reflect
activity through the end of the reference month. Additional
mass layoff event and initial claims activity received after
data for the reference month have been published by BLS are
not updated in the monthly mass layoff series and, therefore,
may not match revised mass layoff data issued in state
publications. However, any additional mass layoff
information meeting the extended mass layoff criteria will be
reflected in BLS’ quarterly publication of extended mass
layoff data.
A given month contains an aggregation of the weekly
unemployment insurance claims filings for the Sunday
through Saturday weeks in that month. All weeks are
included for the particular month, except if the first day of the
month falls on Saturday. In this case, the week is included in
the prior month's tabulations. This means that some months
will contain 4 weeks and others, 5 weeks. The number of
weeks in a given month may be different from year to year,
and the number of weeks in a year may vary. Therefore, data
users who intend to perform analysis of over-the-year change
in the not seasonally adjusted series should use the average
weekly mass layoff figures displayed in tables 3 and 4 of this
release. The average weekly adjustment process produces a
consistent series for each month across all years, permitting
over-the-year analysis to be performed using strictly
comparable data.
The MLS program resumed operations in April 1995
after it had been terminated in November 1992 due to lack of
funding. Prior to April 1995, monthly layoff statistics were
not available.

Definitions
Average weekly mass layoff events and initial claimants.
The number of events and initial claimants in a given month
divided by the number of weeks contained within that month.
Employer. Employers in the MLS program include
those covered by state unemployment insurance laws.
Information on employers is obtained from the Quarterly
Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program, which
is administered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Industry. Employers are classified according to the 2007
version of the North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS). For temporary help and professional employer
organization industries, monthly MLS-related statistics
generally reflect layoffs related to underlying client
companies in other industries. An individual layoff action at a
client company can be small, but when initial claimants
associated with many such layoffs are assigned to a
temporary help or professional employer organization firm, a
mass layoff event may trigger.
Initial claimant. A person who files any notice of unemployment to initiate a request either for a determination of
entitlement to and eligibility for compensation, or for a
subsequent period of unemployment within a benefit year or
period of eligibility.
Mass layoff event. Fifty or more initial claims for
unemployment insurance benefits filed against an employer
during a 5-week period, regardless of duration.
Seasonal adjustment
Effective with the release of data for January 2005, BLS
began publishing six seasonally adjusted monthly MLS
series. The six series are the numbers of mass layoff events
and mass layoff initial claims for the total, private nonfarm,
and manufacturing sectors.
Seasonal adjustment is the process of estimating and
removing the effect on time series data of regularly recurring
seasonal events such as changes in the weather, holidays, and
the beginning and ending of the school year. The use of
seasonal adjustment makes it easier to observe fundamental
changes in time series, particularly those associated with
general economic expansions and contractions.
The MLS data are seasonally adjusted using the X-12ARIMA seasonal adjustment method on a concurrent basis.
Concurrent seasonal adjustment uses all available monthly
estimates, including those for the current month, in
developing seasonal adjustment factors. Revisions to the most
recent 5 years of seasonally adjusted data will be made once a
year with the issuance of December data. Before the data are
seasonally adjusted, prior adjustments are made to the
original data to adjust them for differences in the number of
weeks used to calculate the monthly data. Because weekly
unemployment insurance claims are aggregated to form
monthly data, a particular month's value could be calculated
with 5 weeks of data in 1 year and 4 weeks in another. The
effects of these differences could seriously distort the
seasonal factors if they were ignored in the seasonal
adjustment process. These effects are modeled in the X-12ARIMA program and are permanently removed from the
final seasonally adjusted series.
