STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — JANUARY 2018 

Unemployment rates were lower in January in 6 states and the District of Columbia and stable in 44 

states, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Sixteen states had jobless rate decreases from 

a year earlier and 34 states and the District had little or no change. The national unemployment rate was 

unchanged from December at 4.1 percent but was 0.7 percentage point lower than in January 2017. 

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 3 states in January 2018, decreased in 1 state, and was 

essentially unchanged in 46 states and the District of Columbia. Over the year, 21 states added nonfarm 

payroll jobs and 29 states and the District were essentially unchanged.

Unemployment

Hawaii had the lowest unemployment rate in January, 2.1 percent. The rates in Alabama (3.7 percent), 

California (4.4 percent), Maine (3.0 percent), and Mississippi (4.6 percent) set new series lows. (All 

state series begin in 1976.) Alaska had the highest jobless rate, 7.3 percent. In total, 18 states had 

unemployment rates lower than the U.S. figure of 4.1 percent, 9 states and the District of Columbia had 

higher rates, and 23 states had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See 

tables A and 1 and map 1.) 

In January, six states had unemployment rate decreases: Kentucky, Mississippi, and Ohio (-0.2 

percentage point each) and California, Maine, and Wisconsin (-0.1 point each). The District of Columbia

also had a rate decline (-0.1 percentage point). The remaining 44 states 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.

Sixteen states had unemployment rate changes from January 2017, all of which were decreases. The 

largest decline occurred in Alabama (-1.8 percentage points), followed by Louisiana and Tennessee (-1.2 

points each). (See table B.) 

Nonfarm Payroll Employment 

Three states had over-the-month increases in nonfarm payroll employment in January 2018: California 

(+35,500, or +0.2 percent), New Jersey (+13,000, or +0.3 percent), and Maryland (+12,900, or +0.5 

percent). One state had an over-the-month decrease in nonfarm payroll employment in January: North 

Dakota (-2,600, or -0.6 percent). (See tables C and 3.) 

Twenty-one states had over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment in January. The largest 

job gains occurred in California (+400,100), Texas (+240,500), and Florida (+150,900). The largest 

percentage gain occurred in Utah (+3.1 percent), followed by Idaho, Nevada, and Washington (+2.8 

percent each). (See table D and map 2.)

_____________ 

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

be released on Friday, March 16, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The State Employment and 

Unemployment news release for February is scheduled to be released on Friday, March 23, 2018, 

at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).

Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data 

On Tuesday, February 27, 2018, 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. In addition, a new 

procedure for seasonally adjusting the data was implemented. While the not seasonally adjusted 

data were subject to revision from 2013 forward, the seasonally adjusted data were revised 

back to 1976. Information on the new seasonal adjustment procedure is available at 

www.bls.gov/lau/ssachanges2018.htm.

Changes to Current Employment Statistics (CES) Data

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

(tables 3 and 4) have been revised as a result of annual benchmark processing to reflect 2017 

employment counts primarily from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages 

(QCEW), as well as updated seasonal adjustment factors. Not seasonally adjusted data beginning 

with April 2016 and seasonally adjusted data beginning with January 2013 were subject to 

revision. Some seasonally adjusted series may have been revised back to 1990. 

Also effective with the release of January 2018 estimates, the CES program converted to 

concurrent seasonal adjustment, which uses all available estimates, including those for the 

current month, in developing seasonal factors. Previously, the CES program developed seasonal 

factors once a year during the annual benchmark process. 

In addition, the data were updated to the 2017 North American Industry Classification System 

(NAICS) from the 2012 NAICS. This update resulted in minor changes to several industries. 

Information on the 2017 NAICS updates, concurrent seasonal adjustment, and annual benchmark 

processing is available at www.bls.gov/web/laus/benchmark.pdf.

State
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. Prior to 2018, the 

benchmarked trend component of each measure had been

smoothed using a Trend-Cycle Cascade Filter. With changes 

implemented in early 2018, the benchmarked signals of 

employed and unemployed people first are adjusted using an X11 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.

 In early 2018, historical data were re-estimated back to the 

series beginnings in 1976, 1990, or 1994 to incorporate the 

changes to the seasonal adjustment and smoothing procedures 

described above.

 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 July 15, 2015. 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.

 Beginning with the release of January 2018 preliminary 

estimates, 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. Previously, the sample-based seasonal factors were 

forecasted once annually at the beginning of the year and 

applied to the sample-based estimates for the 12 months of the 

year. 

 

 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.

NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Data have been revised to reflect 2017 benchmarks and updated seasonal adjustment factors. Seasonally adjusted data from

January 2013 are subject to revision. Some seasonally adjusted series may have been revised back to 1990. Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are preliminary

and will be revised when new information becomes available.
