STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — MAY 2017 

Unemployment rates were lower in May in 9 states, higher in 3 states, and stable in 38 states and the 

District of Columbia, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Twenty-two states had jobless 

rate decreases from a year earlier and 28 states and the District had little or no change. The national 

unemployment rate, 4.3 percent, was little changed from April but was 0.4 percentage point lower than 

in May 2016. 

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in 9 states and the District of Columbia in May 2017, decreased 

in 4, and was essentially unchanged in 37 states. Over the year, 28 states added nonfarm payroll jobs and 

22 states and the District were essentially unchanged.

Unemployment

Colorado had the lowest unemployment rate in May, 2.3 percent, followed by North Dakota, 2.5 

percent. The rates in Arkansas (3.4 percent), Mississippi (4.9 percent), Oregon (3.6 percent), and 

Washington (4.5 percent) set new series lows. (All state series begin in 1976.) Alaska and New Mexico

had the highest jobless rates, 6.7 percent and 6.6 percent, respectively. In total, 17 states had 

unemployment rates lower than the U.S. figure of 4.3 percent, 8 states and the District of Columbia had 

higher rates, and 25 states had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See 

tables A and 1 and map 1.) 

In May, nine states had unemployment rate decreases, the largest of which was in Tennessee (-0.7 

percentage point). Three states had notable rate increases, the largest of which was in Massachusetts 

(+0.3 percentage point). The remaining 38 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-two states had unemployment rate changes from May 2016, all of which were decreases. The 

largest of these declines occurred in West Virginia and Wyoming (-1.5 percentage points each), closely 

followed by Indiana and Oregon (-1.4 points each). (See table C.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment 

Nine states and the District of Columbia had over-the-month increases in nonfarm payroll employment 

and four states had decreases in May 2017. The largest increase in employment over the month occurred 

in Florida (+29,600), followed by New York (+27,700) and North Carolina (+18,800). In percentage 

terms, the largest increase occurred in the District of Columbia (+0.8 percent), followed by Alaska (+0.7 

percent) and Alabama and Louisiana (+0.5 percent each). The decreases in employment occurred in 

New Jersey (-13,100), Nevada (-6,500), West Virginia (-4,100), and New Hampshire (-3,800). In 

percentage terms, the largest decrease occurred in New Hampshire (-0.6 percent), followed by Nevada 

and West Virginia (-0.5 percent each) and New Jersey (-0.3 percent). (See tables D and 3.) 

Twenty-eight states had over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment in May. The largest job 

gains occurred in Texas (+266,600), California (+242,600), and Florida (+228,000). The largest 

percentage gain occurred in Utah (+3.3 percent), followed by Florida and Nevada (+2.7 percent each) 

and Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (+2.4 percent each). (See table E and map 2.)

State
Technical Note

This 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 persons and unemployed persons on a 

place-of-residence basis. The universe for each is the civilian 

noninstitutional population 16 years of age and older. 

Employed persons 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 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 civilian labor force is the 

sum of employed and unemployed persons. 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 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 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 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/benchmark2017.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 

to 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 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/sae/790stderr.htm. 

Measures of nonsampling error are not available.
