         STATE AND METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:
                               NOVEMBER 1995
 
 
     Unemployment rates were lower in November 1995 than a month earlier
in 24 states and the District of Columbia, higher in 19 states, and
unchanged in 7 states, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S.
Department of Labor reported today.  The national unemployment rate was 5.6
percent in November, little changed from 5.5 percent in October.  Nonfarm
payroll employment increased in 35 states over the month.
 
State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted)
 
     Two New England states had the only over-the-month unemployment rate
declines greater than 0.5 percentage point.  Rhode Island's rate dropped
1.0 percentage point, and New Hampshire's rate reached a 6-1/2 year low
after falling 0.8 point.  On the other hand, Pennsylvania's rate jumped by
1.2 percentage points, virtually erasing October's decline.  The jobless
rate in Ohio climbed 1.1 points, and California's rate rose by 1.0 point.
Michigan, with a rate increase of 0.6 point, was the only other state with
an over-the-month change of more than one-half point.
Over the year, 34 states experienced unemployment rate declines.
Jobless rates in eight states dropped by a percentage point or more, led by
Arizona (down 1.7 points) and Maine and Mississippi (both down 1.5 points).
Rates in five additional states decreased by more than 0.5 percentage
point.  California, Montana, and Ohio registered the largest increases over
the year (all up 1.0 percentage point).  Tennessee (up 0.7 point) was the
only other state that had a rate increase of more than one-half point.
 
     In November, Nebraska continued to have the lowest unemployment rate
(2.5 percent) in the nation, followed by South Dakota and Utah (both 2.8
percent).  This is Utah's lowest rate on record.  Eleven other states also
registered rates of less than 4.5 percent.  At 8.8 percent, California had
the highest rate, followed by the District of Columbia (8.6 percent) and
West Virginia (8.3 percent).  Overall, 35 states had jobless rates below
the U.S. average, while 14 states and the District of Columbia had higher
rates.  (See table 1 and chart 1.)
 
Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted)
 
     Thirty-five states reported gains in total nonfarm employment in
November.  The goods-producing sector was mixed, with moderate growth in
the construction industry and weakness in manufacturing.  Thirty-two states
had over-the-month gains in construction, while 26 states had employment
gains in manufacturing.  The service-producing sector continued its pattern
of growth with over-the-month employment gains in 42 states.  Employment
growth continued in trade where 41 states reported over-the-month
employment increases.  Forty-two states reported over-the-month gains in
services.
 
     Over the year, 43 states recorded employment growth.  (See chart 2.)
Nearly every state had over-the-year gains in trade and services.  More
than two-thirds of the states had over-the-year increases in construction
and in transportation and public utilities.  Texas continued to lead the
nation in over-the-year job gains with 297,000, followed by California
(158,000), Florida (155,000), and Georgia (111,000).  The District of
Columbia had the largest job losses over the year (-18,000), followed by
Mississippi (-11,000), Hawaii (-9,000), and Pennsylvania (-6,000).
NOTE:  Monthly payroll employment data are provided on a seasonally
adjusted basis for all states and the District of Columbia, permitting both
current and over-the-year comparison of the data.  The state data are
intended for individual state analyses only.  Because the state data are
not designed for national aggregation, a summation could present a
misleading picture of national trends.  (See Technical Note.)
 
 
 
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
 
     Of the 271 areas for which November data are available, 131 had
unemployment rates below 4.5 percent, while 23 had rates higher than 7.5
percent.  The lowest rates were in Madison, Wis. (1.5 percent), Sioux
Falls, S.D. (1.6 percent), and Fargo-Moorhead, N.D.-Minn. (1.8 percent).
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Tex., continued to have the highest unemployment
rate at 19.5 percent, followed by Fresno, Calif. (16.2 percent).  Pine
Bluff, Ark., experienced the largest over-the-year drop in its jobless rate
(2.0 percentage points), followed closely by Lake Charles, La. (1.9
points), and Eau Claire, Wis. (1.8 points).  Rates in 29 other areas
declined by 1.0 percentage point or more.  Laredo, Tex., had the largest
over-the-year increase, as its rate climbed 6.1 points, followed by El
Paso, Tex. (3.6 points), and McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Tex. (3.5 points).
Twenty-one other areas posted rate increases of 1.0 percentage point or
more.  (See table 5.)

|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|      Effective with the data for January 1996, scheduled for release in    |
| early March, BLS will discontinue publishing monthly state and area        |
| estimates derived directly from the Current Population Survey (CPS).       |
| Because of budget reductions, the CPS sample is no longer of sufficient    |
| size to provide data for all of the 11 large states (contained in tables 1,|
| 2, and 5), as well as the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area and New |
| York City (contained in table 5).  Instead, estimates for these states and |
| areas will be based on the method currently used for each of the other     |
| states and the District of Columbia.                                       |
