REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: JULY 2005

Regional and state unemployment rates were generally little changed in July. Overall, 32 states registered

over-the-month unemployment rate increases, 10 states and the District of Columbia had decreases, and 8

states had no change, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Two

of the increases and four of the decreases exceeded 0.4 percentage point. Over the year, jobless rates were

lower in 31 states and the District of Columbia, higher in 16 states, and unchanged in 3 states. In July, the

national unemployment rate was unchanged from June at 5.0 percent, but down 0.5 percentage point over

the year.

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 34 states over the month, decreased in 14 states and the

District of Columbia, and was unchanged in 2 states. Florida experienced the largest employment gain

(+42,400), followed by California (+29,900), Georgia (+18,600), Arizona (+14,900), Washington

(+12,800), and Texas (+12,600). The largest over-the-month percentage increases in employment were

reported in Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, and Oregon (+0.6 percent each) and in Florida, Georgia, Utah, and

Washington (+0.5 percent each). The largest employment decreases occurred in Michigan (-16,600), North

Carolina (-7,200), Kansas (-5,000), and Kentucky and South Carolina (-4,500 each). The largest over-themonth percentage losses were reported in Kansas, Michigan, and West Virginia (-0.4 percent each), followed by the District of Columbia, Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina (-0.2 percent each).

Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)

The Northeast and South recorded the lowest unemployment rates in July, 4.9 percent each, while the

Midwest again had the highest rate, 5.5 percent. The jobless rate in the West was 5.2 percent. No region

 Hurricane Dennis

Hurricane Dennis struck near the beginning of the July reference period, affecting parts of

Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi. BLS examined survey data from the counties in the path of the

storm to ensure that payroll survey responses were at normal levels. Examination of the survey data

suggests that there were no discernable weather-related effects on payroll employment as measured

by the establishment survey. For the storm to have affected payroll employment, people would

have had to have been off work for the entire pay period and not paid for the time missed. (In the

household survey, people who miss work for weather-related events are counted as employed

whether or not they are paid for the time off.)

reported a statistically significant rate change from June. Over the year, all four regions registered significant

unemployment rates decreases: the West (-0.6 percentage point), Northeast (-0.4 point), and Midwest and

South (-0.3 point each). (See table 1.)

Among the nine geographic divisions, the lowest unemployment rates in July were reported in the West

North Central, 4.5 percent, and South Atlantic, 4.6 percent. The highest jobless rates were posted in the

East North Central, 5.9 percent, East South Central, 5.4 percent, and Pacific, 5.3 percent. No division

registered a statistically significant unemployment rate change from June. The Pacific division experienced

the largest rate decline from July 2004 (-0.9 percentage point), followed closely by the West South Central

(-0.8 point). Two other divisions also reported significant over-the-year rate decreases—the Middle Atlantic

(-0.6 percentage point) and West North Central (-0.5 point). No division had a jobless rate increase over

the year.

State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)

In July, Hawaii again reported the lowest state unemployment rate, 2.7 percent. Hawaii has had the

lowest or second lowest jobless rate among the states every month since the beginning of 2004. The next

lowest rates in July were recorded in North Dakota and Virginia, 3.5 percent each, and Minnesota, New

Hampshire, and Vermont, 3.6 percent each. Michigan reported the highest state unemployment rate, 7.0

percent, followed by Alaska and Oregon, 6.6 percent each, and Mississippi, 6.5 percent. The District of

Columbia recorded a jobless rate of 6.7 percent. Overall, 16 states had unemployment rates that were

significantly below the U.S. rate in July, 8 states and the District of Columbia reported measurably higher

rates, and 26 states had rates that were statistically little different from that of the nation. (See tables A

and 3 and chart 1.)

Six states registered over-the-month jobless rate increases that were statistically significant in July—

West Virginia (+0.8 percentage point), Arizona (+0.5 point), North Carolina (+0.4 point), Rhode Island

(+0.3 point), and Nebraska and Nevada (+0.2 point each). Three states had significant unemployment rate

decreases from June—Ohio and Tennessee (-0.5 percentage point each) and California (-0.3 point). The

District of Columbia also had a measurable over-the-month rate decrease (-0.8 percentage point). Fortyone states reported unemployment rates in July that were not appreciably different from those of a month

earlier.

Alabama experienced the largest over-the-year state jobless rate decrease in July (-1.5 percentage

points), followed by California and Texas (-1.1 points each) and Minnesota (-1.0 point). Fifteen additional states recorded statistically significant unemployment rate declines. The District of Columbia also reported a measurable jobless rate decrease from a year ago (-1.6 percentage points). The largest rate increases

from last July were posted by Georgia (+0.7 percentage point), Kentucky (+0.6 point), and Maine and

South Dakota (+0.5 point each). Two additional states reported significant over-the-year rate increases.

(See table B.) Twenty-five states recorded jobless rates that were not appreciably different from those of

July 2004.

Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)

Between June and July, the measured changes in employment were statistically significant in 10 states.

All registered gains in employment except for Michigan, which reported a loss of 16,600 jobs. States

reporting statistically significant over-the-month increases ranged from Florida, with an increase of 42,400

jobs, to Hawaii, with an increase of 3,800 jobs. (See tables C and 5.)

Over the year, the measured changes in employment were statistically significant in 29 states and the

District of Columbia, with all reporting gains. The largest gains were registered in Florida (+242,700),

 Use of Error Measures in the Regional and State News Release

With the release of data for January 2005, the Local Area Unemployment Statistics

(LAUS) program introduced several improvements to its methodology. Among these was

the development of model-based error measures for the monthly estimates and the estimates

of over-the-month changes. These error measures allow data users and the Bureau of

Labor Statistics to consider statistical significance when analyzing and describing the LAUS

data. Error measures for the nonfarm payroll employment data had been available prior to

January 2005, although they were not used in the analysis of those data in this release.

The introductory section of this release preserves the long-time practice of highlighting

the direction of the movements in state unemployment rates and state nonfarm payroll

employment regardless of their statistical significance. The remainder of the analysis in the

release takes the statistical significance of monthly and annual changes into consideration.

 Correction of Nonfarm Payroll Employment Data for South Dakota

The total nonfarm and government employment data for South Dakota have been corrected for July 2004. The corrections, generally small, were introduced to reflect more

accurately the employment patterns of teachers in local government education during the

summer months. The July 2004 data shown in tables 5 and 6 of this release incorporate

the corrections.

California (+189,700), Arizona (+101,300), and Texas (+100,000). Four states and the District of

Columbia experienced statistically significant employment gains that were less than 15,000; New Mexico

(+13,900), the District of Columbia (+11,400), Montana (+8,700), Delaware (+8,500), and Wyoming

(+6,600). (See table D.)

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 1-4). Also presented are nonfarm payroll

employment estimates by state and major industry 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 labor force includes both the

employed and the unemployed. 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 have a job from which they were temporarily

absent, whether or not paid, for such reasons as labormanagement dispute, illness, or vacation. Unemployed persons

are those who did not work at all (in the reference week), have

actively looked for a job (sometime in the 4-week period ending

with the reference week), and are currently available for work;

persons on layoff expecting recall need not be looking for work

to be counted as unemployed.

Method of estimation. Estimates for all census divisions,

states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long BeachGlendale metropolitan division, and New York City are produced

using estimating equations based on regression techniques.

This method, which underwent substantial enhancement at the

beginning of 2005, utilizes data from several sources, including

the CPS, the CES, and state unemployment insurance (UI) data.

Estimates for the six other areas contained in this release use a

different regression approach. A detailed description of the

estimation procedures is available from BLS upon request.

Estimates for census regions are obtained by summing the

model-based estimates for the component divisions and then

calculating the unemployment rate.

Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data

shown for the prior year reflect adjustments made at the end of

each year, usually implemented with January estimates. The

adjusted estimates reflect updated population data from the U.S.

Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources, and

model reestimation.

Seasonal adjustment. Seasonal adjustment of census

division, state, and substate area model employment and

unemployment levels is performed within the modeling

procedure. The model estimation is based on the classical

approach to seasonal adjustment, in which the series is

decomposed into trend, seasonal, irregular, and survey error.

This directly yields seasonally adjusted estimates for

employment and unemployment levels with reliability measures.

Labor force levels and unemployment rates are calculated from

these two estimates. Additionally, measures for the state of

California are derived by summing the seasonally adjusted

estimates for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale

metropolitan division and the balance of California, and the

estimates for the State of New York are the sum of the estimates

for New York City and the balance of New York. Labor force

estimates for census regions are calculated as the sum of the

levels of the component divisions, and the unemployment rate

is then calculated. In most years, historical data for the most

recent 5 years are revised near the beginning of each calendar

year, usually coincident with the release of January estimates.

Area definitions. The substate area data published in this

release reflect the standards and definitions established by the

U.S. Office of Management and Budget on February 18, 2004.

A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available on the

Web at http://www.bls.gov/lau/laumsa.htm and also is published

annually in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.

Employment—from the CES program

Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on

establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay

period which 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 2002 version of

the North American Industry Classification System.

Method of estimation. The employment data are estimated

using a “link relative” technique in which a ratio (link relative)

of current-month employment to that of the previous month is

computed from a sample of establishments reporting for both

months. The estimates of employment for the current month are

obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month

by these ratios.

Annual revisions. Employment estimates are adjusted

annually to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks,

derived principally from tax reports which 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

survey, 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. With respect to the LAUS program,

unemployment rates are computed from unrounded data rather

than from data that may be displayed in the tables; differences,

however, are generally insignificant.

Labor force and unemployment estimates. Model-based

error measures for both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally

adjusted data, and for over-the-month change, are available on

the BLS Web site at http://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 over-the-month

change in a state unemployment rate that is required in order to

be statistically significant at the 90-percent confidence level is

slightly more than +/- 0.3 percentage point. More details can be

found on the Web site. Measures of nonsampling error are not

available, but additional information on the subject is provided in

the BLS monthly periodical, Employment and Earnings.

Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error for state

CES data at the total nonfarm and supersector level and for

metropolitan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are

available on the BLS Web site at http://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 on the BLS Web site at

http://www.bls.gov/sae/.

to develop these estimates and additional data appear in

metropolitan areas and metropolitan New England City and

Town Areas (NECTAs) are available in the news release,

Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment. Estimates

of labor force, employment, and unemployment for all states,
