STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — MARCH 2020

Unemployment rates were higher in March in 29 states and the District of Columbia, lower in 3 states, 

and stable in 18 states, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Twenty-three states had 

jobless rate increases from a year earlier, 3 states had decreases, and 24 states and the District had little 

or no change. The national unemployment rate rose by 0.9 percentage point over the month to 4.4 

percent and was 0.6 point higher than in March 2019. 

Nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 31 states in March 2020 and was essentially unchanged in 19 

states and the District of Columbia. Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 13 states, 

decreased in 2, and was essentially unchanged in 35 states and the District.

This news release presents statistics from two monthly programs. The civilian labor force and 

unemployment data are modeled based largely on a survey of households. These data pertain to 

individuals by where they reside. The employment data are from an establishment survey that measures 

nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry. These data pertain to jobs on payrolls defined by 

where the establishments are located. For more information about the concepts and statistical 

methodologies used by these two programs, see the Technical Note. 

Unemployment

North Dakota had the lowest unemployment rate in March, 2.2 percent, while Louisiana had the highest 

rate, 6.9 percent. The rates in Alaska (5.6 percent) and Idaho (2.6 percent) set new series lows. (All state 

series begin in 1976.) In total, 25 states had unemployment rates lower than the U.S. figure of 4.4 

percent, 13 states and the District of Columbia had higher rates, and 12 states had rates that were not 

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

In March, the largest unemployment rate increases occurred in Nevada (+2.7 percentage points) and 

Colorado (+2.0 points). Rates rose over the month by at least a full percentage point in 19 additional 

states. Alaska had the largest jobless rate decrease from February (-0.2 percentage point). Eighteen 

states had rates that were not notably 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.) 
-2-

The largest unemployment rate increases from March 2019 occurred in Louisiana (+2.4 percentage 

points), Nevada (+2.2 points), and Pennsylvania (+1.9 points), with another 12 states experiencing 

increases of a full point or more. The largest unemployment rate decreases over the year were in Oregon 

and South Carolina (-0.8 percentage point each). (See table C.) 

Nonfarm Payroll Employment 

Nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 31 states in March 2020. The largest job declines occurred in 

California (-99,500), Texas (-50,900), and New York (-41,700). The largest percentage declines 

occurred in Louisiana and Rhode Island (-1.1 percent each), followed by Missouri and Vermont (-0.9 

percent each). (See tables D and 3.)

Thirteen states had over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment in March, 2 had decreases, 

and 35 states and the District of Columbia were unchanged. The largest job gains occurred in Texas 

(+250,900), California (+150,400), and Florida (+126,000). The largest percentage gains occurred in 

Utah (+2.6 percent), Idaho (+2.4 percent), and Arizona (+2.2 percent). Employment decreased in 

Vermont (-7,700, or -2.4 percent) and West Virginia (-12,600, or -1.7 percent). (See table E and map 2.)

The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release for March is scheduled to 

be released on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The State Employment and 

Unemployment news release for April is scheduled to be released on Friday, May 22, 2020, at

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact on March 2020 

Establishment and Household Survey Data

March data from the establishment and household surveys broadly reflect some of the early effects of 

the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on the labor market. We cannot precisely quantify the effects of 

the pandemic on state and local job markets in March. However, it is clear that the decreases in 

employment and hours and the increases in unemployment can be ascribed to effects of the illness and 

efforts to contain the virus. It is important to keep in mind that the March survey reference periods for 

both surveys predated many coronavirus-related business and school closures in the second half of the 

month. More information on the impacts of the coronavirus on the surveys is available in the 

“Frequently asked questions” document at 

www.bls.gov/cps/employment-situation-covid19-faq-march-2020.pdf . 

For the March 2020 estimates of household employment and unemployment from the Local Area 

Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program, BLS determined that no modifications to the model-based 

methodology were necessary. Rather, the LAUS program implemented level-shift outliers in 

employment and/or unemployment in many modeled areas based on statistical evaluation of movements 

in each area’s Current Population Survey inputs. These level shifts preserved movements in published 

estimates that the models otherwise would have discounted, without requiring changes to how the 

models create estimates at other points in the time series. Outlier detection and implementation of level 

shifts are usual aspects of the LAUS modeling procedures. However, until March 2020 these activities 

generally had been limited to annual processing, following the completion of estimation for the full 

calendar year.

Due to the effects of the illness and efforts to contain the virus, Puerto Rico was not able to conduct 

normal data collection for its household survey in March 2020; therefore, its data were not published. 

Household data for Puerto Rico are not modeled, but rather are derived from a monthly household 

survey similar to the Current Population Survey. 

In anticipation of issues due to the pandemic, BLS carefully reviewed all estimation and methodological 

procedures for the establishment survey, which included the review of data, estimation processes, the 

application of the birth/death model, and seasonal adjustment. No changes were made; the estimation 

process for the production of the March 2020 establishment survey estimates followed standard 

protocol. Outlier detection is a usual part of the seasonal adjustment process. Outliers for seasonal 

adjustment are identified in the establishment survey seasonal adjustment documentation, which is 

available at www.bls.gov/sae/seasonal-adjustment/home.htm .

Technical Note

This news release presents civilian labor force and 

unemployment data for states and selected substate areas from 

the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program 

(tables 1 and 2). Also presented are nonfarm payroll

employment estimates by state and industry supersector from 

the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program (tables 3 and 

4). The LAUS and CES programs are both federal-state 

cooperative endeavors.

Civilian labor force and unemployment—from the 

LAUS program 

 Definitions. The civilian 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 employed people and unemployed people on a placeof-residence basis. The universe for each is the civilian 

noninstitutional population 16 years of age and older. 

Employed people are those who did any work at all for pay or 

profit in the reference week (typically 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 people 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; people

on layoff expecting recall need not be looking for work to be 

counted as unemployed. The civilian labor force is the sum of 

employed and unemployed people. The unemployment rate is 

the number of unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor 

force.

 Method of estimation. Estimates for 48 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 five additional 

substate areas contained in this release (the Cleveland-Elyria 

and Detroit-Warren-Dearborn metropolitan areas and the 

Chicago-Naperville-Arlington Heights, Miami-Miami BeachKendall, and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions) 

and their respective balances of state are produced using a 

similar model-based approach.

 Each month, estimates for the nine census divisions first are

modeled using inputs from the CPS only and controlled to the 

national totals. State estimates then are controlled to their 

respective census 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 more detailed 

description of the estimation procedures is available from BLS 

upon request.

 Annual revisions. Civilian 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 timesseries 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 people into trend, 

seasonal, and irregular components. The benchmarked signals 

of employed and unemployed people first are adjusted using an 

X-11 type of seasonal adjustment filter. The adjusted data then 

are smoothed using a Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space 

(RKHS) filter. The smoothed-seasonally adjusted estimates of 

employed and unemployed people are summed to derive the 

civilian labor force, and the unemployment rate then is 

calculated as the unemployed percent of the civilian labor force. 

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 smoothedseasonally 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 that were issued by the U.S. 

Office of Management and Budget on April 10, 2018. 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 2017 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/web/laus/benchmark.pdf.

 Seasonal adjustment. Payroll employment data are 

seasonally adjusted at the statewide expanded supersector level. 

In some cases, the seasonally adjusted payroll employment total 

is computed by aggregating the independently adjusted 

supersector series. In other cases, the seasonally adjusted 

payroll employment total is independently adjusted. Revisions 

to historical data for the most recent five years are made once a 

year, coincident with annual benchmark adjustments.

 Payroll employment data are seasonally adjusted 

concurrently, using all available estimates including those for 

the current month, to develop sample-based seasonal factors.

Concurrent sample-based factors are created every month for 

the current month’s preliminary estimate as well as the previous 

month’s final estimate in order to incorporate real-time 

estimates. 

 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 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, 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/web/laus/790stderr.htm. 

Measures of nonsampling error are not available.
