REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — JUNE 2015 

Regional and state unemployment rates were little changed in June. Twenty-one states and the District 

of Columbia had unemployment rate decreases from May, 12 states had increases, and 17 states had no 

change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Forty-two states and the District of 

Columbia had unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, five states had increases, and three 

states had no change. The national jobless rate declined from May to 5.3 percent and was 0.8 percentage 

point lower than in June 2014. 

In June 2015, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 31 states, decreased in 17 states and the District 

of Columbia, and was unchanged in 2 states. The largest over-the-month increases in employment 

occurred in New York (+25,500), California (+23,000), and Texas (+16,700). The largest over-themonth decrease in employment occurred in Illinois (-7,500), followed by New Jersey (-7,400) and 

Maryland (-6,200). The largest over-the-month percentage increases in employment occurred in South 

Dakota (+0.6 percent) and South Carolina (+0.5 percent), followed by Colorado, Kansas, and Virginia 

(+0.4 percent each). The largest over-the-month percentage declines in employment occurred in Alaska 

(-1.1 percent), Wyoming (-0.8 percent), and Idaho (-0.7 percent). Over the year, nonfarm employment 

increased in 48 states and the District of Columbia and decreased in 2 states. The largest over-the-year 

percentage increase occurred in Utah (+4.3 percent), followed by Nevada and Washington (+3.5 percent 

each). The over-the-year percentage decreases occurred in West Virginia (-1.2 percent) and Wyoming 

(-0.7 percent). 

Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) 

In June, the Midwest had the lowest regional unemployment rate, 5.0 percent, while the West had the 

highest rate, 5.8 percent. Over the month, the Northeast had the only statistically significant 

unemployment rate change (-0.2 percentage point). Significant over-the-year rate decreases occurred in 

all four regions: the West (-0.9 percentage point), Midwest (-0.8 point), and Northeast and South 

(-0.7 point each). (See table 1.) 

Among the nine geographic divisions, the West North Central had the lowest unemployment rate, 4.3 

percent in June. The Pacific had the highest rate, 6.1 percent. Over the month, the Middle Atlantic had 

the only statistically significant jobless rate change (-0.2 percentage point). All nine divisions had 
- 2 - 

significant rate declines from a year earlier, with the largest of these decreases occurring in the East 

North Central, East South Central, New England, and Pacific (-1.1 percentage points each). 

State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) 

Nebraska had the lowest jobless rate in June, 2.6 percent. West Virginia had the highest rate, 7.4 

percent. In total, 18 states had unemployment rates significantly lower than the U.S. figure of 5.3 

percent, 11 states and the District of Columbia had measurably higher rates, and 21 states had rates 

that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3 and chart 1.) 

In June, statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate declines occurred in New Jersey 

(-0.4 percentage point), Connecticut and the District of Columbia (-0.3 point each), and Florida and 

Indiana (-0.2 point each). The only significant over-the-month rate increase was in Oregon (+0.2 

percentage point). The remaining 45 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. 

Twenty-four states had statistically significant unemployment rate declines from June 2014, the largest 

of which occurred in Rhode Island (-1.8 percentage points). The only significant over-the-year rate 

increases occurred in North Dakota and South Dakota (+0.4 percentage point each). The remaining 24 

states and the District of Columbia had rates that were not appreciably different from those of a year 

earlier. (See table B.) 

Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) 

In June 2015, 11 states had statistically significant over-the-month changes in employment, 7 of which 

were positive. The largest significant job gains occurred in New York (+25,500), Virginia (+13,400), 

and Colorado (+11,300). The significant job decreases occurred in Idaho (-4,800), West Virginia 

 (-4,500), Alaska (-3,900), and Wyoming (-2,200). (See tables C and 5.) 

Over the year, 34 states had statistically significant changes in employment, all of which were positive. 

The largest significant over-the-year job increase occurred in California (+461,900), followed by Texas 

(+269,900) and Florida (+266,200). (See table D and chart 2.)

State
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 industry 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 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 bad weather, 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 time-series 

models. This method, which underwent substantial 

enhancement at the beginning of 2015, 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 

Angeles-Long 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 the nine census 

divisions, as well as the five additional substate areas contained 

in this release (the Cleveland-Elyria and Detroit-WarrenDearborn metropolitan areas and the Chicago-NapervilleArlington Heights, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and SeattleBellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions) and their respective 

balances of state are based on similar model-based approaches. 

Estimates for census regions are obtained by summing the 

model-based estimates for the component divisions. Each 

month, census division estimates are controlled to the 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 re-estimation. 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. With the introduction 

of a new generation of times-series models in early 2015, 

historical data were re-estimated back to the series beginnings 

in 1976, 1990, or 1994. 

 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 website at 

www.bls.gov/lau/lassaqa.htm. 

 Area definitions. The substate area data published in this 

release reflect the delineations issued by the U.S. Office of 

Management and Budget on February 28, 2013. 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 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 2012 version of the North 

American Industry Classification System. 

 Method of estimation. CES State and Area 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 establishments 

reporting for both months. The estimates of employment for the 

current month are then 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, the sample of establishments 

is very small or highly variable. In these cases, a model-based 

approach is used in estimation. These models use the direct 

sample estimates (described above), combined with forecasts of 

historical (benchmarked) data to decrease volatility in 

estimation. Two different models (Fay-Herriot Model and 

Small Domain Model) are used depending on the industry level 

being estimated. For more detailed information about each 

model, refer to the BLS Handbook of Methods. 

 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-of-states" 

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. 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. Model-based 

error measures for seasonally adjusted and not seasonally 

adjusted data and for over-the-month and over-the-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 0.7 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 recent benchmark revisions for states is 

available online at www.bls.gov/sae/.
