REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT – JUNE 2010 

Regional and state unemployment rates were generally lower in June. Thirty-nine states and the District 

of Columbia recorded unemployment rate decreases, five states had increases and six states had no 

change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Twenty-four states recorded unemployment 

rate increases from a year earlier, 22 states and the District of Columbia had decreases, and 4 states had 

no change. The national jobless rate edged down by 0.2 percentage point to 9.5 percent and was 

unchanged from June 2009. 

In June, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 21 states and the District of Columbia, decreased in 

27 states, and 2 states had no change. The largest over-the-month increases in employment occurred in 

Texas (+14,000), Kentucky (+6,200), Arkansas (+6,000), Louisiana (+5,800), and North Carolina 

(+5,100). Montana recorded the largest over-the-month percentage increase in employment (+1.0 percent), followed by Alaska (+0.9 percent), and Arkansas and Vermont (+0.5 percent each). The largest 

over-the-month employment decreases were in California (-27,600), New York (-22,500), Tennessee 

(-20,800), Arizona (-11,700), and New Mexico (-11,200). The largest over-the-month percentage 

decreases in employment occurred in New Mexico (-1.4 percent), Hawaii (-1.0 percent), and Tennessee 

(-0.8 percent). Over the year, nonfarm payroll employment decreased in 28 states, and increased in 22 

states and the District of Columbia. The largest over-the-year percentage decrease in employment 

occurred in New Mexico (-2.2 percent), followed by Nevada (-2.0 percent), Rhode Island (-1.7 percent), 

Georgia (-1.5 percent), Colorado (-1.4 percent), and California (-1.3 percent). The largest over-the-year 

percentage increase in employment was reported in Kentucky (+1.5 percent), followed by Indiana and 

New Hampshire (+1.4 percent each), the District of Columbia (+1.3 percent), and Alaska (+1.2 percent). 

Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) 

The West reported the highest regional jobless rate in June, 10.7 percent, while the Northeast recorded 

the lowest rate, 8.8 percent. Three regions experienced statistically significant over-the-month 

unemployment rate changes: the Midwest, South, and West (-0.2 percentage point each). The West was 

the only region to register a significant rate change from a year earlier (+0.4 percentage point). (See 

table 1.) 

Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to report the highest unemployment rate, 

11.4 percent in June. The West North Central registered the lowest rate, 7.0 percent, followed by the 
- 2 - 

West South Central, 7.9 percent. Five divisions experienced statistically significant unemployment rate 

changes from a month earlier, all decreases: the East North Central, East South Central, New England, 

and South Atlantic (-0.3 percentage point each) and the Pacific (-0.2 point). Two divisions reported 

significant over-the-year rate changes—the Mountain had an increase (+0.5 percentage point), while the 

West North Central posted a decrease (-0.6 point). 

State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) 

Nevada again reported the highest unemployment rate among the states, 14.2 percent in June. The rate in 

Nevada also set a new series high. (All region, division, and state series begin in 1976.) The states with 

the next highest rates were Michigan, 13.2 percent; California, 12.3 percent; and Rhode Island, 12.0 percent. North Dakota continued to register the lowest jobless rate, 3.6 percent, followed by South Dakota 

and Nebraska, 4.5 and 4.8 percent, respectively. In total, 25 states posted jobless rates significantly 

lower than the U.S. figure of 9.5 percent, 10 states had measurably higher rates, and 15 states and the 

District of Columbia had rates that were not appreciably different from that of the nation. (See tables A 

and 3 and chart 1.) 

In June, 19 states recorded statistically significant jobless rate decreases from May, the largest of which 

were in New Hampshire (-0.5 percentage point) and Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, North 

Carolina, and South Carolina (-0.4 point each). The District of Columbia also posted an appreciable rate 

decrease from a month earlier (-0.4 percentage point). The remaining 31 states registered jobless rates 

that were not measurably 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.) 

Nevada recorded the largest jobless rate increase from June 2009 (+2.3 percentage points). Five additional states had smaller, but also statistically significant, increases. Eight states reported significant 

over-the-year rate decreases in June, the largest of which was in Minnesota (-1.6 percentage points). The 

remaining 36 states and the District of Columbia registered jobless rates that were not appreciably 

different from those of a year earlier. (See table C.) 

Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) 

Between May and June 2010, nine states recorded statistically significant changes in employment. The 

over-the-month statistically significant job gains occurred in Arkansas (+6,000), Montana (+4,100), and 

Alaska (+2,900). The largest over-the-month statistically significant job losses occurred in California (-

27,600), New York (-22,500), and Tennessee (-20,800). (See tables D and 5.) 

Over the year, five states experienced statistically significant declines in employment, while five states 

reported statistically significant employment increases. The largest statistically significant job losses 

occurred in California (-186,100), Georgia (-56,600), Colorado (-31,200), and New Mexico (-17,800). 

The largest statistically significant over-the-year employment increases were posted in Texas 

(+110,200), Indiana (+38,200), North Carolina (+29,800), and Kentucky (+26,500). One state recorded a 

statistically significant over-the-year increase in employment that was less than 15,000: New Hampshire 

(+8,900). (See table E.)

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 to 4). Also presented are nonfarm 

payroll employment estimates by state and major industry 

sector 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 LAUS program measures 

employment and unemployment on a place-of-residence 

basis. The universe for each is the civilian noninstitutional 

population 16 years of age and over. 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 had a job from which they 

were temporarily absent, whether or not paid, for such 

reasons as 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 labor 

force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons. The 

unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percent 

of the labor force. 

Method of estimation. Estimates for 48 of the 50 

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 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) programs. Estimates for the state of California 

are derived by summing the estimates for the Los AngelesLong 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 all nine census 

divisions and the five additional substate areas contained in 

this release (the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor and DetroitWarren-Livonia metropolitan areas and the Chicago-JolietNaperville, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and SeattleBellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions) and their respective 

balances of state are based on a similar regression approach 

that does not incorporate CES or UI data. Estimates for 

census regions are obtained by summing the model-based 

estimates for the component divisions and then calculating 

the unemployment rate. Each month, census division estimates are controlled to national totals; state estimates are then 

controlled to their respective division totals. Substate and 

balance-of-state estimates for the five areas noted above are 

controlled to their respective state totals. Estimates for 

Puerto Rico are derived from a monthly household survey 

similar to the CPS. A detailed description of the estimation 

procedures is available from BLS upon request. 

Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data 

for prior years reflect adjustments made at 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 reestimation. In most years, historical 

data for the most recent five years (both seasonally adjusted 

and not seasonally adjusted) are revised near the beginning of 

each calendar year, prior to or coincident with the release of 

January estimates. 

Seasonal adjustment. The LAUS program introduced 

smoothed-seasonally-adjusted (SSA) estimates in January 

2010. These are seasonally-adjusted data that have incurporated a long-run trend smoothing procedure, resulting in 

estimates that are less volatile than those previously produced. The estimates are smoothed using a Henderson Trend 

Filter (H13). The H13 uses a filtering procedure, based on 

moving averages, to remove the irregular fluctuations from 

the seasonally-adjusted series, leaving the trend. The same 

process is used on both historical and current year estimates. 

Seasonally-adjusted labor force estimates from January 

1976 through December 2009 were replaced with the SSA 

estimates for all four census regions, nine census divisions, 

all States, the District of Columbia, New York City, the Los 

Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, and the 

respective balances of New York and California. Seasonallyadjusted estimates for the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor and 

Detroit-Warren-Livonia metropolitan areas and the ChicagoJoliet-Naperville, Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, and SeattleBellevue-Everett metropolitan divisions and the respective 

balances of Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Florida, and 

Washington were also replaced from January 1983 through 

December 2009. For more information about the smoothing 

technique and the reasons behind the change, see the BLS 

Web site at www.bls.gov/lau/lassaqa.htm. 

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 December 

1, 2009. A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available 

on the Internet 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 2007 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. Small-domain models 

are used as the official estimators for the approximately 39 

percent of CES published series which have insufficient 

sample for direct sample-based estimates. 

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. 

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-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. The sums of individual items may not 

always equal the totals shown in the same tables because of 

rounding. Unemployment rates are computed from 

unrounded data and thus may differ slightly from rates 

computed using the rounded data displayed in the tables. 

Use of error measures. In 2005, the LAUS program 

introduced several improvements to its methodology. Among 

these were the development of model-based error measures 

for the monthly estimates and the estimates of over-themonth changes. The introductory section of this release 

preserves the long-time practice of highlighting the direction 

of the movements in regional and state unemployment rates 

and state nonfarm payroll employment regardless of their 

statistical significance. The remainder of the analysis in the 

release takes statistical significance into consideration. 

Labor force and unemployment estimates. Modelbased error measures for both seasonally adjusted and not 

seasonally adjusted data and for over-the-month changes are 

available online at 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 current year 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 just over 0.2 percentage point. The average amount 

of the current over-the-year change in a state unemployment 

rate to be considered statistically significant is between 0.8 

and 0.9 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 

Employment and Earnings Online at 

www.bls.gov/opub/ee/home.htm. 

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 online at 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 Internet at www.bls.gov/sae/. 

Additional information 

More complete information on the technical procedures 

used to develop these estimates and additional data appear in 

Employment and Earnings Online. 
Estimates of labor force and unemployment from the 

LAUS program, as well as nonfarm employment from the 

CES program, for over 300 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, metropolitan 

areas, labor market areas, counties, cities with a population of 

25,000 or more, and other areas used in the administration of 

various federal economic assistance programs are available 

on the Internet at www.bls.gov/lau/. Employment data from 

the CES program are available on the Internet at
