(NOTE: This news release was reissued on August 31, 2012. It contains corrections to previously
released employment data in table 5, and to the count of states with over-the-month employment
gains and losses in paragraph two of the text. Data for July 2012 were corrected for South
Carolina total nonfarm, government, and local government. Corrected data were loaded into the
CES State and Area database on August 31, 2012, and are available at www.bls.gov/sae/data.htm.
A complete listing of corrected series is available at www.bls.gov/bls/errata/sae_errata.htm.)
REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — JULY 2012
Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed or slightly higher in July. Fortyfour states recorded unemployment rate increases, two states and the District of Columbia posted rate
decreases, and four states had no change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Forty-four
states and the District of Columbia registered unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, four
states experienced increases, and two had no change. The national jobless rate, at 8.3 percent, was
essentially unchanged from June but 0.8 percentage point lower than in July 2011.
In July 2012, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 30 states and the District of Columbia and
decreased in 20 states. The largest over-the-month increase in employment occurred in California
(+25,200), followed by Michigan (+21,800) and Virginia (+21,300). The largest over-the-month
decrease in employment occurred in New Jersey (-12,000), followed by Missouri (-7,700) and Illinois
(-7,100). Vermont experienced the largest over-the-month percentage increase in employment (+0.8
percent), followed by Virginia (+0.6 percent) and the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Kansas, and
Michigan (+0.5 percent each). Alaska experienced the largest over-the-month percentage decline in
employment (-1.0 percent), followed by Idaho, New Hampshire, and South Dakota (-0.4 percent each).
Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 41 states and the District of Columbia and decreased in
9 states. The largest over-the-year percentage increase occurred in North Dakota (+6.8 percent),
followed by California (+2.6 percent) and Oklahoma (+2.4 percent). The largest over-the-year
percentage decrease in employment occurred in Rhode Island (-1.6 percent), followed by Wisconsin
(-0.8 percent) and Alaska and Missouri (-0.5 percent each).
Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
The West continued to record the highest regional unemployment rate in July, 9.4 percent, while the
Midwest again reported the lowest rate, 7.5 percent. Over the month, three regions experienced
statistically significant unemployment rate changes: the Northeast (+0.3 percentage point), Midwest
(+0.2 point), and South (+0.1 point). Significant over-the-year rate changes occurred in the Midwest,
South, and West (-1.1 percentage points each). (See table 1.)
Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the highest jobless rate, 10.0
percent in July. The West North Central again registered the lowest rate, 5.8 percent. Five divisions
recorded statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate changes: the East South Central,
Middle Atlantic, and New England (+0.3 percentage point each) and the East North Central and South
Atlantic (+0.2 point each). Eight divisions had measurable rate changes from a year earlier, all of which
were decreases. The largest of these declines occurred in the East North Central (-1.3 percentage points).
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
Nevada continued to record the highest unemployment rate among the states, 12.0 percent in July.
Rhode Island and California posted the next highest rates, 10.8 and 10.7 percent, respectively. North
Dakota again registered the lowest jobless rate, 3.0 percent. In total, 23 states reported jobless rates
significantly lower than the U.S. figure of 8.3 percent, 8 states had measurably higher rates, and 19
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.)
Eighteen states had statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate changes in July, all of
which were increases. The largest of these increases occurred in Alabama and Alaska (+0.5 percentage
point each). The remaining 32 states and the District of Columbia 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. (See table B.)
Seventeen states and the District of Columbia reported statistically significant unemployment rate
decreases from July 2011, the largest of which occurred in Florida, Mississippi, and Nevada (-1.8
percentage points each). New York experienced the only statistically significant over-the-year increase
in its unemployment rate (+0.9 percentage point). (See table C.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
In July 2012, nine states recorded statistically significant over-the-month changes in employment, seven
of which were increases. The largest statistically significant job gains occurred in California (+25,200),
Michigan (+21,800), and Virginia (+21,300). Statistically significant declines in employment occurred
in New Jersey (-12,000) and Alaska (-3,400). (See tables D and 5.)
Over the year, 27 states experienced statistically significant changes in employment, 26 of which were
increases. The largest increase occurred in California (+365,100), followed by Texas (+222,500), New
York (+113,300), and Ohio (+100,300). The only decrease occurred in Rhode Island (-7,300). (See table
E 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 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 recent benchmark revisions for
states is available online 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/.
