REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — JUNE 2011 

Regional and state unemployment rates were little changed in June. Twenty-eight states and the District 

of Columbia registered unemployment rate increases, 8 states recorded rate decreases, and 14 states had 

no rate change, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Thirty-nine states posted 

unemployment rate decreases from a year earlier, eight states and the District of Columbia reported 

increases, and three states had no change. The national jobless rate was little changed at 9.2 percent, but 

was 0.3 percentage point lower than a year earlier. 

In June, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 26 states and the District of Columbia and decreased 

in 24 states. The largest over-the-month increase in employment occurred in Texas (+32,000), followed 

by California (+28,800), Michigan (+18,000), and Minnesota (+13,200). Alaska experienced the largest 

over-the-month percentage increase in employment (+1.7 percent), followed by North Dakota (+1.2 

percent), Vermont (+0.9 percent), and South Dakota (+0.8 percent). The largest over-the-month decrease 

in employment occurred in Tennessee (-16,900), followed by Virginia (-14,600), Missouri (-12,900), 

and North Carolina (-9,500). Kansas and Tennessee experienced the largest over-the-month percentage 

declines in employment (-0.6 percent each), followed by Missouri (-0.5 percent), and Idaho and Virginia 

(-0.4 percent each). Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 40 states and decreased in 10 

states and the District of Columbia. The largest over-the-year percentage increase occurred in North 

Dakota (+4.9 percent), followed by Texas and Vermont (+2.1 percent each), and Wyoming (+2.0 

percent). The largest over-the-year percent decreases in employment occurred in Kansas and Maryland 

(-0.6 percent each), followed by Delaware and Georgia (-0.5 percent each). 

Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) 

The West had the highest regional unemployment rate in June, 10.4 percent, while the Northeast had the 

lowest rate, 8.1 percent. Over the month, two regions experienced statistically significant jobless rate 

changes: the Midwest (+0.2 percentage point) and South (+0.1 point). Three of the regions registered 

significant rate changes from a year earlier: the Midwest (-1.1 percentage points) and Northeast and 

West (-0.6 point each). (See table 1.) 
- 2 - 

Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific continued to have the highest jobless rate, 11.0 percent 

in June. The West North Central again registered the lowest rate, 6.8 percent. Over the month, two 

divisions experienced statistically significant unemployment rate changes: the East North Central (+0.2 

percentage point) and South Atlantic (+0.1 point). Over the year, five divisions posted significant rate 

changes, all of which were decreases. The largest decrease was in the East North Central (-1.5 

percentage points). 

State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) 

Nevada continued to register the highest unemployment rate among the states, 12.4 percent in June. 

California had the next highest rate, 11.8 percent. North Dakota reported the lowest jobless rate, 3.2 

percent, followed by Nebraska, 4.1 percent, and South Dakota, 4.8 percent. In total, 26 states posted 

jobless rates significantly lower than the U.S. figure of 9.2 percent, 6 states and the District of Columbia 

recorded measurably higher rates, and 18 states had rates that were not appreciably different from that of 

the nation. (See tables A and 3 and chart 1.) 

Nine states reported statistically significant over-the-month unemployment rate increases in June. South 

Carolina experienced the largest increase (+0.5 percentage point), followed by Alabama, Arkansas, and 

Illinois (+0.3 point each) and Maryland, Montana, North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin (+0.2 point 

each). The District of Columbia also experienced a significant over-the-month rate increase (+0.6 

percentage point). The remaining 41 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. 

Nevada recorded the largest jobless rate decrease from June 2010 (-2.5 percentage points). Two other 

states had rate decreases of at least 2.0 percentage points—Michigan (-2.1 points) and Indiana (-2.0 

points). Eleven additional states had smaller but also statistically significant decreases over the year. The 

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

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

Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) 

Over the month, 16 states recorded statistically significant changes in employment. The four states 

reporting the largest over-the-month statistically significant job gains were Texas (+32,000), California 

(+28,800), Michigan (+18,000), and Minnesota (+13,200). Over-the-month statistically significant 

declines in employment occurred in Tennessee (-16,900), Virginia (-14,600), Missouri (-12,900), and 

Kansas (-7,500). (See tables C and 5.)

Over the year, 18 states experienced statistically significant changes in employment, all of which were 

increases. The largest increase occurred in Texas (+220,000), followed by California (+157,000), Ohio 

(+72,400), and Illinois (+59,000). (See table D and chart 2.)

State
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 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 

incorporated 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. For more information about the smoothing technique, 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 seasonally adjusted and not 

seasonally adjusted data and for over-the-month and overthe-year 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 for statistical 

significance at the 90-percent confidence level is just over 0.2 

percentage point; the average amount of the current over-theyear change in a state rate for significance is about 0.9 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.

LAUS program, as well as nonfarm employment from the 

CES program, for 380 metropolitan areas and metropolitan 

New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs) are available
