May 17, 2012 Unemployment Rate Drops Four‐Tenths of a Percentage Point to 8.2%; Above Average Gains in Total Nonfarm Employment The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Arizona dropped four‐tenths of a percentage point from 8.6% in March to 8.2% in April. About half of this drop in the unemployment rate can be attributed to employment growth, and the other half to a drop in the labor force as people stopped looking for work. The U.S. unemployment rate declined one‐tenth of a percentage point from 8.2% in March to 8.1% in April. A year ago the Arizona rate was 9.6% and the U.S. rate was 9.0% (see figure 1). In April, a total of 9,300 Nonfarm jobs were added in Arizona, a gain above the historic average. The ten‐
year (‘02‐’11) average for Nonfarm employment change in April was 5,600 jobs (see figure 2). Private sector employment accounted for 84% of the Total Nonfarm employment adding 7,900 jobs, and contributed to job gains above historic average. The ten‐year (‘02‐’11) April average for the Private sector was 4,300 jobs. Government added 1,400 jobs, which was near 25

been above the pre‐recession ten‐year (‘98‐
’07) average of 1,400 jobs. Because of steep losses during the recession in Construction, the employment level was reduced significantly. Hence, the recent gains observed have placed the sector as the top percentage gainer among the major sectors, both over the month and over the year. Specialty Trades led the sector with 1,300 jobs gained followed by Heavy Construction with 1,100 jobs added. Building Construction lost 500 jobs. Job gains (1,100) in Financial Activities were above the ten‐year (‘02‐’11) average gain of 400 jobs for April. Real Estate, Rental, and Leasing added 800 of the jobs gained. The other 300 jobs were added in Finance and Insurance industries. Educational and Health Services (EHS) added 700 jobs in April. Private Educational Services added 400 jobs, Social Assistance added 200 jobs, and Health Care added 100 jobs. Over the past ten years, EHS has had a mixture of both gains and losses in April, with gains exceeding losses for an average gain of 1,100 jobs. Manufacturing was almost flat with a gain of 100 jobs. In contrast, the ten‐year (‘02‐’11) average was a loss of 400 jobs for the month. All of the Manufacturing job gains were in Durable Goods (100) with Nondurables unchanged for the month. Natural Resources and Mining employment was unchanged in April. With a loss of 100 jobs, Information was at the sector’s ten‐year average for April. Leisure and Hospitality (LH) lost 1,100 jobs in April, which was atypical for the sector in recent years. The ten‐year (‘02‐’11) average for April was a gain of 2,200 jobs. LH has posted losses in April five other times since 1990 with three of them at a similar magnitude. Arts, Entertainment, and Recreation lost 900 jobs, and Accommodation and Food Services lost 200 jobs. Accommodation added 600 jobs but 2 Food Services lost 800 jobs. Other Services Figure 4

All of the gains were in Health Care and Social Assistance (9,900) with Health Care gaining 9,100 jobs and Social Assistance adding 800 jobs.

Summary Arizona’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped four‐tenths of a percentage point from 8.6% in March to 8.2% in April. About half of this drop in the unemployment rate can be attributed to employment growth, and the other half to a drop in the labor force as people stopped looking for work. The U.S. rate edged down one‐tenth of a percentage point from 8.2% in March to 8.1% in April. Arizona added 9,300 Nonfarm jobs in April, a higher gain compared to the ten‐year average of 5,600 jobs. The Private Sector contributed to the above average gains, adding 7,900 jobs or 84% of the total Nonfarm job gains. Government added 1,400 jobs. Seven of the eleven major sectors had gains over the month, three had losses, and one was flat. Many sectors had job gains above the historic average. The Professional and Business Services had the largest employment gains, adding 3,600 jobs, which was above the ten‐year average of 2,000 jobs. Trade, Transportation, and Utilities had greater‐than‐average April gains, adding 2,800 jobs compared to a ten‐year average loss of 600 jobs. Construction had the next largest job gains (1,900), also better than the ten‐year average (700) for the month. Government gained 1,400 jobs, mostly from Local Public Education (1,000).

Under Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI & VII), and the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990 (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975,
the Department prohibits discrimination in admissions, programs, services, activities, or employment based
on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, and disability. The Department must make a reasonable
accommodation to allow a person with a disability to take part in a program, service or activity. For
example, this means if necessary, the Department must provide sign language interpreters for people who
are deaf, a wheelchair accessible location, or enlarged print materials. It also means that the Department
will take any other reasonable action that allows you to take part in and understand a program or activity,
including making reasonable changes to an activity. If you believe that you will not be able to understand or
take part in a program or activity because of your disability, please let us know of your disability needs in
advance if at all possible. To request this document in alternative format or for further information about
this policy, contact the Department of Economic Security, Division of Developmental Disabilities ADA
