REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — APRIL 2016

Unemployment rates were significantly lower in April in 5 states, higher in 4 states, and stable in 41 

states and the District of Columbia, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Nineteen states 

had notable unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, 2 states had increases, and 29 states and 

the District had no notable net change. The national jobless rate was unchanged from March at 5.0 

percent and was 0.4 percentage point lower than in April 2015. 

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 11 states in April 2016, decreased in 6 states, and was 

essentially unchanged in 33 states and the District of Columbia. Over the year, 37 states added 

appreciable numbers of nonfarm payroll jobs, 2 states lost jobs, and 11 states and the District were 

virtually unchanged.

Regional Unemployment 

In April, no region had an unemployment rate significantly different from the U.S. rate of 5.0 percent. 

Over the month, no region had a statistically significant unemployment rate change. However, 

significant over-the-year rate decreases occurred in three regions: the West (-0.8 percentage point), 

Northeast (-0.7 point), and South (-0.5 point). (See table 1.) 

Among the nine geographic divisions, the West North Central had the lowest unemployment rate, 3.8 

percent in April, followed by New England, 4.4 percent. The East North Central had the highest rate, 

5.4 percent. Over the month, the only statistically significant jobless rate change occurred in the Middle 

Atlantic (+0.2 percentage point). Seven of the 9 divisions had significant rate changes from a year 

earlier, all of which were declines. The largest of these decreases occurred in the Pacific 

(-0.9 percentage point). 

Expanded Use of Statistical Significance

Beginning with this news release, the analysis has been updated to better reflect statistical significance.

State Unemployment

South Dakota and New Hampshire had the lowest jobless rates in April, 2.5 percent and 2.6 percent, 

respectively. The unemployment rate in Arkansas (3.9 percent) set a new series low. (All region, 

division, and state series begin in 1976.) Alaska and Illinois had the highest rates, 6.6 percent each. In 

total, 19 states had unemployment rates significantly lower than the U.S. figure of 5.0 percent, 10 states 

and the District of Columbia had higher rates, and 21 states had rates that were not appreciably different 

from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3 and map 1.) 

In April, five states had statistically significant unemployment rate declines. The largest of these 

decreases occurred in Kentucky (-0.3 percentage point). Four states had notable rate increases, the 

largest of which was in Pennsylvania (+0.4 percentage point). The remaining 41 states and the District 

of Columbia had jobless rates that were not significantly 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.)

Nineteen states had statistically significant unemployment rate decreases from April 2015. The largest 

of the declines were in Arkansas and Tennessee (-1.6 percentage points each). The only significant overthe-year rate increases occurred in Wyoming (+1.4 percentage points) and North Dakota (+0.5 point). 

(See table C.) 

Nonfarm Payroll Employment 

In April 2016, 11 states had statistically significant over-the-month increases in nonfarm payroll 

employment and 6 states had significant decreases. The largest job gains were in California (+59,600) 

and Florida (+31,100). In percentage terms, the largest significant increases were in Minnesota and

Missouri (+0.5 percent each). Pennsylvania (-16,900) and Ohio (-13,600) had the largest significant 

decreases in employment over the month, followed by Wisconsin (-12,600) and Virginia (-12,000). The 

largest over-the-month percentage declines were in Wyoming (-0.9 percent) and Hawaii (-0.8 percent). 

(See tables D and 5.)

Thirty-nine states had statistically significant over-the-year changes in nonfarm payroll employment in 

April, 37 of which were increases. The largest job gains occurred in California (+450,200), Florida 

(+254,500), and Texas (+189,600). The largest percentage gains were in Idaho (+3.8 percent) and 

Delaware (+3.7 percent). Two states had significant over-the-year declines in employment: North 

Dakota (-17,600, or -3.8 percent) and Wyoming (-10,800, or -3.7 percent). (See table E and map 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 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 also are controlled to their respective 

state totals. This tiered process of controlling model-based 

estimates to the U.S. totals is called real-time benchmarking.

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 after 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 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 models decompose the 

estimates of employed and unemployed persons into trend, 

seasonal, and irregular components. The trend component of 

each measure is then smoothed using a Trend-Cycle Cascade 

Filter, which combines the Henderson trend filter with a 

seasonal filter. This combined filter suppresses variability due 

to real-time benchmarking while simultaneously removing any 

residual seasonality that may be present in the series. The 

resulting smoothed-seasonally adjusted unemployment rate 

estimates are analyzed in this news release and published on the 

BLS website. During estimation for the current year, the 

smoothed-seasonally adjusted estimates for a given month are 

created using an asymmetric filter that incorporates information 

from previous observations only. For annual revisions, 

historical data are smoothed using a two-sided filter. 

 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. Information on recent benchmark revisions 

is available online at www.bls.gov/sae/benchmark2016.pdf.

 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.

 Use of error measures. Changes in regional and state 

unemployment rates and state nonfarm payroll employment are 

cited in the analysis of this release only if they have been 

determined to be statistically significant at the 90-percent 

confidence level. Furthermore, regional and state 

unemployment rates for the current month generally are cited 

only if they have been determined to be significantly different 

from the U.S. rate at the 90-percent confidence level. The 

underlying model-based standard error measures for 

unemployment rates and over-the-month and over-the-year 

changes in rates are available at www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. 

The underlying standard error measures for over-the-month and 

over-the-year changes in state payroll employment data at the 

total nonfarm and supersector levels are available at 

www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Measures of nonsampling 

error are not available.
