(NOTE: This release was reissued on Thursday, June 24, 2010, to correct Texas May 2010
total nonfarm and government payroll employment data. These data appear in tables D,
5, and 6. Additionally, the analysis of employment data in the text was revised to reflect
these corrections. The impact of the correction on unemployment data in this release was
extremely limited and will be incorporated in the routine monthly revisions with the
release of June data.)
REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT – MAY 2010
Regional and state unemployment rates were slightly lower in May. Thirty-seven states and the District
of Columbia recorded unemployment rate decreases over the month, 6 states had increases, and 7 states
had no change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Thirty-one states and the District of
Columbia posted unemployment rate increases from a year earlier, 17 states recorded decreases, and 2
states had no change. The national jobless rate edged down by 0.2 percentage point to 9.7 percent, but
was up from 9.4 percent in May 2009.
In May, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 41 states and the District of Columbia, decreased in 5
states, and was unchanged in 4 states. The largest over-the-month increases in employment occurred in
Texas (+75,200), California (+28,300), New York (+21,000), and Florida and Virginia (+20,300 each).
Delaware recorded the largest over-the-month percentage increase in employment (+0.9 percent), followed by Maine, Rhode Island, and Texas (+0.7 percent each) and Louisiana, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Virginia, and Wyoming (+0.6 percent each). The 5 states reporting over-the-month employment decreases were New Mexico (-1,700), South Dakota (-800), Idaho (-200), and Montana and
Nebraska (-100 each). The largest over-the-month percentage decreases in employment occurred in New
Mexico and South Dakota (-0.2 percent each). Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment decreased in
39 states and increased in 11 states and the District of Columbia. The largest over-the-year percentage
decrease in employment was reported in Nevada (-2.5 percent), followed by Colorado and Rhode Island
(-1.9 per-cent each), and California, Georgia, and New Mexico (-1.7 percent each). The largest over-theyear percentage increases in employment occurred in Alaska (+1.5 percent), North Dakota (+1.4 percent), the District of Columbia (+1.1 percent), and Indiana (+0.9 percent).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
The West reported the highest regional jobless rate in May, 10.9 percent, while the Northeast recorded
the lowest rate, 8.9 percent. The Midwest and South experienced the only statistically significant overthe-month unemployment rate changes (-0.3 and -0.2 percentage point, respectively). Three of the 4
regions registered significant rate changes from a year earlier: the West (+0.8 percentage point) and the
Northeast and South (+0.5 point each). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the highest unemployment rate,
11.6 percent in May. The West North Central registered the lowest rate, 7.1 percent, followed by the
West South Central, 7.9 percent. Two divisions experienced statistically significant unemployment rate
changes from a month earlier: the East North Central and South Atlantic (-0.3 percentage point each).
Five of the 9 divisions reported significant over-the-year rate changes, all of which were increases. The
largest of these occurred in the Mountain and Pacific (+0.8 percentage point each).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Nevada reported the highest unemployment rate among the states, 14.0 percent in May. This is the first
month in which Nevada recorded the highest rate among the states and the first time since April of 2006
that a state other than Michigan has posted the highest rate. The rate in Nevada also set a new series
high. (All region, division, and state series begin in 1976.) The states with the next highest rates were
Michigan, 13.6 percent; California, 12.4 percent; and Rhode Island, 12.3 percent. North Dakota continued to register the lowest jobless rate, 3.6 percent, followed by South Dakota and Nebraska, 4.6 and
4.9 percent, respectively. In total, 25 states posted jobless rates significantly lower than the U.S. figure
of 9.7 percent, 9 states had measurably higher rates, and 16 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 May, 12 states recorded statistically significant jobless rate decreases from April, the largest of which
were in North Carolina and South Carolina (-0.5 percentage point each) and Illinois and Michigan (-0.4
point each). The District of Columbia also posted an appreciable rate decrease from a month earlier (-0.6
percentage point). 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 May 2009 (+2.5 percentage points), followed by
Mississippi (+2.1 points). Ten additional states had smaller, but also statistically significant, increases.
Minnesota reported the largest rate decrease from a year earlier (-1.4 percentage points). Vermont and
North Dakota experienced the only other significant rate decreases (-1.1 and -0.8 percentage point(s),
respectively). The remaining 35 states and the District of Columbia registered jobless rates that were not
appreciably different from those of a year earlier. (See table C.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Between April and May 2010, 20 states recorded statistically significant changes in employment, all of
which were increases. The largest over-the-month statistically significant job gains occurred in Texas
(+75,200), followed by California (+28,300), New York (+21,000), Virginia (+20,300), and
Pennsylvania (+19,500). (See tables D and 5.)
-2-
Over the year, 11 states experienced statistically significant decreases in employment, while 1 state
reported a significant employment increase. The largest statistically significant job losses were reported
in California (-244,900), Georgia (-67,300), Illinois (-44,600), and Colorado (-43,200). The only
statistically significant over-the-year employment increase occurred in North Dakota (+5,300). (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
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

1 Includes mining and logging, information, and other services (except public
administration), not shown separately.

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.
c = corrected.
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.
