STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — JANUARY 2024

Unemployment rates were higher in January in 4 states, lower in 2 states, and stable in 44 states 

and the District of Columbia, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Twenty-five

states had jobless rate increases from a year earlier, 6 states had decreases, and 19 states and the 

District had little change. The national unemployment rate remained at 3.7 percent in January 

2024 and was little changed from January 2023. 

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 8 states and was essentially unchanged in 42 states 

and the District of Columbia in January 2024. Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment 

increased in 27 states and was essentially unchanged in 23 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 jobless rate in January, 1.9 percent. The next lowest rate was in 

South Dakota, 2.1 percent. Nevada had the highest unemployment rate, 5.3 percent, closely 

followed by California, 5.2 percent. In total, 16 states had unemployment rates lower than the

U.S. figure of 3.7 percent, 7 states and the District of Columbia had higher rates, and 27 states 

had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 1 and map 

1.) 

Four states had unemployment rate increases in January: Connecticut, Rhode Island, and 

Washington (+0.2 percentage point each) and California (+0.1 point). Massachusetts and 

Wisconsin had the only rate decreases (-0.2 percentage point each). Forty-four states and the 

District of Columbia had jobless 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.)

Twenty-five states had unemployment rate increases from January 2023, the largest of which 

were in Maine and New Jersey (+0.9 percentage point each). Six states had over-the-year rate 

decreases, the largest of which were in Massachusetts and Wyoming (-0.5 percentage point 

each). Nineteen states and the District of Columbia had jobless rates that were not notably 

different from those of a year earlier, though some had changes that were at least as large 

numerically as the significant changes. (See table C.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment 

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 8 states and was essentially unchanged in 42 states 

and the District of Columbia in January 2024. The largest job gains occurred in New York 

(+59,300), California (+58,100), and Florida (+38,800). The largest percentage increases 

occurred in New York and Vermont (+0.6 percent each), followed by Massachusetts and New 

Jersey (+0.5 percent each). (See tables D and 3.)

Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 27 states and was essentially unchanged 

in 23 states and the District of Columbia. The largest job gains occurred in Texas (+263,900), 

Florida (+259,600), and California (+225,400). The largest percentage increase occurred in 

Nevada (+3.8 percent), followed by Alaska and South Carolina (+3.0 percent each). (See table E 

and map 2.)

The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release for January is 

scheduled to be released on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (ET). The State 

Employment and Unemployment news release for February is scheduled to be released on

Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data

Effective with the release of Regional and State Unemployment 2023 Annual Averages on 

March 1, 2024, the civilian labor force and unemployment data for the states, the District of 

Columbia, and the modeled substate areas presented in tables 1 and 2 of this news release were 

revised to incorporate updated inputs, new population controls, reestimation of models, and 

adjustment to new census division and national control totals. The population controls continue 

to reflect a "blended base," with elements from three independent data sources for April 1, 2020. 

Data in table 1 were re-seasonally adjusted as well. Both not seasonally adjusted and seasonally 

adjusted data were subject to revision back to 2019. 

Changes to Current Employment Statistics (CES) Data

Effective with this news release, all nonfarm payroll employment estimates for states and areas 

presented in tables 3 and 4 have been adjusted to 2023 benchmark levels. Not seasonally 

adjusted data beginning with April 2022 and seasonally adjusted data beginning with January 

2019 were subject to revision. Some not seasonally adjusted and seasonally adjusted series have 

been revised as far back as 1990. Information on annual benchmark processing is available at 

www.bls.gov/web/laus/benchmark.htm. 

Also effective with this news release, the CES program implemented a new weight smoothing 

procedure for state and metropolitan area employment data. Background information on the new 

weight smoothing procedure is available on the BLS website at www.bls.gov/osmr/researchpapers/2014/pdf/st140140.pdf.

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 place

of-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 2021, 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 Beach

Kendall, 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 time

series models in 2021, 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 people on 

establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay 

period that includes the 12th of the month. People 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 2022 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 estimates are produced with a model that uses direct 

sample estimates (described above) combined with other 

regressors to compensate for smaller sample sizes. 

 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 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.htm.

 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.

 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. Each state series is subject to larger relative 

sampling and nonsampling errors than the national series.

Summing state estimates 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.

 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.
