Bulletin 2734
Preface

nnual data on the labor force, employment, and 

unemployment in States and sub-State areas are

available from two major sources: the Current Population 

Survey (CPS) and the Local Area Unemployment 

Statistics (LAUS) program. The CPS is a sample survey 

of about 60,000 households nationwide conducted for the 

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the Census 

Bureau. The LAUS program is a Federal-State 

cooperative endeavor in which State workforce agencies 

prepare estimates using concepts, definitions, and 

estimation procedures prescribed by BLS. 

This bulletin presents 2005 annual averages from the 

CPS for census regions and divisions; the 50 States and 

the District of Columbia; and 54 large metropolitan areas, 

22 metropolitan divisions, and 41 principal cities. Data 

from the CPS differ from the official estimates produced 

by the individual States through the LAUS program. CPS 

estimates are provided herein because they are a current 

source of information on the demographic and economic 

characteristics of the labor force in subnational areas, 

from the same source as the official labor force data for 

the United States as a whole. 

Tables 1 through 13 present 2005 annual average

labor force estimates for census regions and divisions. 

Similar information for all States and the District of 

Columbia appears in tables 14 through 26. All of these 

data reflect Census 2000-based population controls. 

Tables 27 through 32 display 2005 annual average

rates, ratios, and percent distributions from the CPS for 

selected metropolitan areas, metropolitan divisions, and 

cities. Levels for the various labor force categories are not

presented, because independent census-based population

controls are not available below the State level.

Geographic definitions for the metropolitan areas 

and metropolitan divisions appearing in this publication 

reflect those first issued by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) on June 6, 2003, with titles updated per 

OMB Bulletin No. 09–01, Update of Statistical Area

Definitions and Guidance on Their Uses, dated November

20, 2008. (See appendix C.) 

The data in this bulletin reflect revisions to the 

standards for classification of Federal data by race and 

ethnicity that were issued by OMB on October 30, 1997. 

Estimates for the White, Black or African American, and

Asian race groups are based on persons who reported

only one of those race groups. Persons who reported 

another race group or two or more races are not included 

in any of these categories, but are included in the totals. 

Persons whose ethnicity was identified as Hispanic or 

Latino may be of any race and, therefore, were classified 

by ethnicity as well as by race. 

Tables displaying occupation and industry data 

reflect the coding systems used for those data in Census 

2000. 

This bulletin was prepared in the BLS Office of 

Employment and Unemployment Statistics by the 

Division of Local Area Unemployment Statistics in 

collaboration with the Division of Data Development and 

Publications. Editorial assistance was provided by the 

Office of Publications and Special Studies.

Geographic Profile of Employment 

and Unemployment, 2005

he Current Population Survey (CPS) is a regular

monthly survey of about 60,000 households from

which the national unemployment rate is derived. (See 

appendix A for concepts and definitions used in the CPS 

and appendix B for a description of the estimation 

procedures.) 

The method for determining which annual average 

estimates of the labor force—by demographic characteristics (age, sex, race, and Hispanic or Latino 

ethnicity) and economic characteristics of the employed 

and unemployed—to publish in this bulletin is explained in 

appendix B. Table B-1 lists the minimum bases required 

for publication for various geographic areas. 

Estimates for census regions and divisions are shown 

in section I, data for States are shown in section II, and 

limited data for metropolitan areas, metropolitan divisions, 

and cities are shown in section III. Estimates of levels are

not provided in section III, because population controls 

needed to make estimates of levels comparable with those 

in the other sections of this publication are not available. 

Because the estimates are based on a survey rather 

than on a complete census of the population, they are 

subject to sampling error. Consequently, error ranges 

have been calculated in the form of 90-percent confidence 

intervals and displayed for the unemployment rates in the 

first table of sections I, II, and III. In addition, appendix B 

provides tables from which the sampling error ranges can 

be obtained for the data in other tables in sections I and II. 

Separate error tables are not provided for each population 

group (such as total, White, Black or African American,

Asian, and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity). Instead, one 

table is used for all population groups for a given labor 

force characteristic, because differences in sampling 

errors are usually minimal.

Error range of rate1

1 Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence interval, which

means that if repeated samples were drawn from the same population and an error

range constructed around each sample estimate, in 9 out of 10 cases the true

value based on a census of the population would be contained within these error

ranges.

2 Error ranges cannot be properly computed when the number of sample

cases is very small or the unemployment rate is too low.

 NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when the labor force base

does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the area in question, as

determined by the sample size. (See appendix B.) Items may not sum to totals

because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White,

Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not

presented for all races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as

Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as

well as by race. Data incorporate updated Census 2000-based population

controls.

Employed1

At work2

1 Employed persons are classified as full- or part-time workers on the basis

of their usual weekly hours at all jobs, regardless of the number of hours they are

at work during the reference week. Persons absent from work are classified

according to their usual status. 2 Includes some persons at work 35 hours or more, classified by their reason

for working part time. 3 Fewer than 500 persons.

 NOTE: Items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the

race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do

not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In addition,

persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race

and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate

updated Census 2000-based population controls.

groups are not shown. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic

or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by

groups are not shown. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic

or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by

 NOTE: Items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race

groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum

to totals because data are not presented for all races. In addition, persons whose

ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are

classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated Census

2000-based population controls.

 NOTE: Items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the

race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do

not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In addition,

persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race

and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate

updated Census 2000-based population controls.

 NOTE: Items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the

race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian)

do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In addition,

persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race

and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate

updated Census 2000-based population controls.

1 Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence interval, which

means that if repeated samples were drawn from the same population and an error

range constructed around each sample estimate, in 9 out of 10 cases the true

value based on a complete census of the population would be contained within

these error ranges. 2

Error ranges cannot be properly computed when the number of sample

cases is very small or the unemployment rate is too low.

3 Fewer than 500 persons.

 NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when the labor force base

does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the area in question, as

determined by the sample size. (See appendix B.) Items may not sum to totals

because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White,

Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not

presented for all races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as

Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as

well as by race. Data incorporate updated Census 2000-based population

controls.

1 Employed persons are classified as full- or part-time workers on the basis

of their usual weekly hours at all jobs, regardless of the number of hours they

are at work during the reference week. Persons absent from work are

classified according to their usual status. 2 Includes some persons at work 35 hours or more, classified by their

reason for working part time. 3 Fewer than 500 persons. 4 Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet the BLS

publication standard of reliability for the particular area, as determined by

the sample size. (See appendix B.)

 NOTE: Items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the

race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian)

do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In addition,

persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race

and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate

updated Census 2000-based population controls.

 NOTE: Totals for summary groups published include other occupations not

shown separately. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black

or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data for other race

groups are not shown. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as

Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity

as well as by race.

 NOTE: Totals for summary groups published include other industries not

shown separately. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White,

Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data for

other race groups are not shown. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is

identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are

classified by ethnicity as well as by race.

 NOTE: Items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the 

race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian)

do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In addition,

persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race

and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate

updated Census 2000-based population controls.

1 Fewer than 500 persons.

 NOTE: Items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for

the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and

Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In

addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be

of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. 

Data incorporate updated Census 2000-based population controls.

1 Includes seasonal work, job started or ended, own illness, childcare problems,

other family or personal obligations, labor dispute, in school or training, civic or

military duty, and all other reasons. 2 Includes seasonal work, health and medical limitations, full-time workweek

less than 35 hours, and all other reasons. 3 Fewer than 500 persons.

 NOTE: Items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race

groups shown in the table (White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not

sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In addition, persons

whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and,

therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated

Census 2000-based population controls.

 NOTE: Items may not sum to totals because of rounding. Estimates

for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or African

American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not

presented for all races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified

as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified

by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated Census

2000-based population controls.

 NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when the labor

force base does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for

the area in question, as determined by the sample size. (See

appendix B.) Items may not sum to totals because of rounding. 

Estimates for the race groups shown in the table (White, Black or

African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are

not presented for all races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is

identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are

classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated

Census 2000-based population controls.

 NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when the labor force base

does not meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the area in question,

as determined by the sample size. (See appendix B.) Items may not sum to

totals because of rounding. Estimates for the race groups shown in the table

(White, Black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data

are not presented for all races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified

as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by

ethnicity as well as by race. Data incorporate updated Census 2000-based

population controls.

 Labor force, employment, and unemployment levels for the 

selected metropolitan areas, metropolitan divisions, and cities

are not provided in tables 27 through 32, because independent 

population controls are not available. Only rates, ratios, and 

percent distributions are published. Unemployment rates shown

in table 27 differ from the estimates produced through the

LAUS program.

Error range of rate1

1 Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence

interval, which means that if repeated samples were drawn from

the same population and an error range constructed around each

sample estimate, in 9 out of 10 cases the true value based on a

census of the population would be contained within these error

ranges.

2 Error ranges cannot be properly computed when the number

of sample cases is very small or the unemployment rate is too low. 3 Data do not reflect the official U.S. Office of Management and

Budget definition. (See appendix C.) 4 Less than 0.05 percent. NOTE: Data are not shown when the labor force base does not

meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the area in

question, as determined by the sample size. (See appendix B.)

Appendix A. 

Concepts and Definitions 

for Data Derived from the 

Current Population Survey

ables showing the labor force status include estimates 

of the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years 

and older, as well as data on the civilian labor force, labor 

force participation rates, employment, and unemployment 

rates. Population estimates are revised by the U.S. Census 

Bureau each year, and these revised estimates are

incorporated into the Current Population Survey (CPS) 

labor force levels. This adjustment affects the estimates of 

labor force, employment, and unemployment levels, but it 

generally does not affect percentage measures, such as

unemployment rates, labor force participation rates, or 

employment-population ratios. Thus, levels contained in 

this publication may not be comparable with levels 

published prior to or after 2005 in Geographic Profile of

Employment and Unemployment. 

 The concepts and definitions underlying the labor force 

data in this bulletin are as follows: 

Civilian noninstitutional population. This category comprises all persons 16 years of age and older residing in the 

50 States and the District of Columbia who are not inmates 

of institutions (for example, penal and mental facilities and 

homes for the aged) and who are not on active duty in the 

Armed Forces. 

Employed persons. These are all persons who, during the 

reference week, (a) worked for least 1 hour as paid 

employees in their own business or profession or on their 

own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers 

in an enterprise operated by a member of the family, or (b) 

were not working but had jobs or businesses from which 

they were temporarily absent because of a labormanagement dispute, job training, vacation, illness, bad 

weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, 

or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they 

were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs. 

Unemployed persons. Those in this category are all persons 

who had no employment during the reference week, were 

available for work—except for temporary illness—and 

made specific efforts to find employment sometime during 

the 4-week period ending with the reference week. Persons 

who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they 

had been laid off need not have been looking for work to 

be classified as unemployed. 

Duration of unemployment. This categorization represents 

the length of time (through the current reference week) 

that persons classified as unemployed had been looking 

for work. For persons who were laid off, the duration of 

unemployment represents the number of full weeks they 

had been on layoff. 

Reason for unemployment. Unemployment is categorized 

according to the status of individuals at the time they 

began to look for work. People are divided into five major 

groups on the basis of their reason for unemployment: (1) 

job losers, comprising (a) persons on temporary layoff, 

who have been given a date to return to work or who 

expect to return within 6 months (persons on layoff need 

not be looking for work to qualify as unemployed), and 

(b) permanent job losers, whose employment ended 

involuntarily and who began looking for work; (2) job 

leavers, who quit or otherwise terminated their 

employment voluntarily and immediately began looking 

for work; (3) persons who completed temporary jobs

(included along with job losers in this publication), who 

began looking for work after their temporary jobs ended; 

(4) reentrants, who previously worked but were out of the 

labor force prior to beginning their job search; and (5) 

new entrants, who have never worked. 

Labor force. This group comprises all persons classified 

as employed or unemployed in accordance with the 

criteria described in the first column. 

Unemployment rate. The unemployment rate represents 

the number of unemployed persons as a percentage of the 

labor force. 

Participation rate. This measure represents the proportion 

of the civilian noninstitutional population that is in the 

labor force. 

Employment-population ratio. This measure represents 

the proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population 

that is employed.

Married, spouse present; and family. “Married, spouse 

present,” applies to husband and wife if both were living in 

the same household, even if one is temporarily absent on

business, on vacation, on a visit, in a hospital, etc. A family 

is defined as a group of two or more persons residing 

together who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption; all 

such persons are considered as members of one family. 

Families are classified either as married-couple families or 

as families maintained by women or men without spouses. 

A family maintained by a woman or a man is defined as 

one in which the householder is either single, widowed, 

divorced, or married with the spouse absent. 

Occupation and industry. This information regarding the 

employed applies to the job held in the reference week. 

Persons with two or more jobs are classified as being in the 

job at which they worked the greatest number of hours. 

The unemployed are classified according to their last job. 

The occupation and industry classification of CPS data is 

based on the coding systems used in Census 2000. 

Class of worker. The class-of-worker breakdown assigns 

workers to the following categories: private and 

government wage and salary workers, self-employed 

workers, and unpaid family workers. Wage and salary 

workers receive wages, salary, commissions, tips, or pay in 

kind from a private employer or from a government unit. 

Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or 

fees in their own business, profession, trade, or farm. Only 

the unincorporated self-employed are included in the selfemployed category in the class-of-worker typology. Selfemployed persons who respond that their businesses are 

incorporated are included among wage and salary workers 

because, technically, they are paid employees of a 

corporation. Unpaid family workers are persons working 

without pay for 15 hours a week or more on a farm or in a 

business operated by a member of the household to whom 

they are related by birth or marriage. 

Hours of work. These statistics relate to the actual number 

of hours worked during the reference week. For example, 

persons who normally work 40 hours a week but were off 

on the Columbus Day holiday would be reported as 

working 32 hours, even though they were paid for the 

holiday. For persons working in more than one job, the 

figures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs 

during the week, with all of the hours credited to the major 

job. 

At work part time for economic reasons. Sometimes called 

“involuntary part time,” this category refers to individuals 

who give an economic reason for working 1 to 34 hours 

during the reference week. Economic reasons include 

unfavorable business conditions, inability to find full-time 

work, and seasonal declines in demand. Those who usually 

work part time must indicate that they want and are 

available to work full time in order to be classified as at 

work part time for economic reasons. 

At work part time for noneconomic reasons. This group 

includes those persons who usually work part time and 

were at work 1 to 34 hours during the reference week for 

a noneconomic reason. Some examples of noneconomic 

reasons are illness or other medical limitations, childcare 

problems or other family or personal obligations, school 

or training, retirement or Social Security limits on 

earnings, and being in a job in which full-time work is 

less than 35 hours. The group also includes those who 

give an economic reason for usually working 1 to 34 

hours but say they do not want to work full time or are 

unavailable for such work. 

Usual full- or part-time status. Data on persons “at work” 

exclude persons who were temporarily absent from a job 

and are therefore classified into the zero-hours-worked 

category, “with a job but not at work.” These are persons 

who were absent from their jobs for the entire reference 

week for such reasons as bad weather, childcare 

problems, maternity or paternity leave, vacation, illness, 

or involvement in a labor dispute. In order to differentiate 

a person's normal schedule from his or her activity during 

the reference week, persons also are classified according 

to their usual full- or part-time status. In this context, fulltime workers are those who usually work 35 or more 

hours (at all jobs combined). This group will include 

some individuals who worked less than 35 hours in the 

reference week for either economic or noneconomic 

reasons and those who are temporarily absent from work. 

Similarly, part-time workers are those who usually work 

less than 35 hours per week (at all jobs), regardless of the 

number of hours worked in the reference week. This may 

include some individuals who actually worked at least 35 

hours in the reference week, as well as those who were 

temporarily absent from work. 

White, Black or African American, Asian, and “other.”

These terms describe the race of persons. Included in the 

“other” group are persons classified as American Indian 

and Alaska Native (AIAN), as Native Hawaiian and other 

Pacific Islander (NHPI), as some other race (SOR), and 

within two or more race categories. Because of the 

relatively small sample size in most areas, data for “other” 

races are not published at this time. In the enumeration 

process, race is determined by the household respondent. 

Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. This refers to persons who 

identified themselves in the survey enumeration process 

as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South 

American, or of other Hispanic or Latino ethnicity or 

descent. Persons of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity may be 

of any race; thus, they are included in the White, Black or 

African American, and Asian population groups.

Sampling and Estimation 

Procedures and Sampling 

Error Tables 

he estimates presented in this bulletin are based on

annual averages of monthly data obtained from the 

Current Population Survey (CPS), a sample survey of the 

civilian noninstitutional population. The survey, conducted 

each month by the U.S. Census Bureau for the U.S. Bureau 

of Labor Statistics, provides comprehensive data on the 

labor force, including such characteristics as age, sex, race, 

Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, marital status, occupation, 

and industry. The survey also provides data on the 

characteristics of those not in the labor force. 

Each month, trained interviewers collect information 

from a scientifically selected sample of about 60,000 

eligible households. This sample, designed to represent the 

civilian noninstitutional population, includes about 10,000 

households beyond the 50,000 in the regular CPS sample 

in order to meet the requirements of the State Children’s 

Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) legislation. The SCHIP 

legislation required the Census Bureau to improve State 

estimates of the number of children who live in lowincome families and lack health insurance. These estimates 

are obtained from the Annual Demographic Supplement to 

the CPS. In September 2000, the Census Bureau began 

expanding the monthly CPS sample in 31 States and the 

District of Columbia because of the SCHIP legislation. 

Selected respondents in the 60,000 eligible households 

are interviewed to obtain information about the 

employment status of each household member 16 years of 

age and older. The information that is collected pertains to 

a “reference week,” usually the calendar week (Sunday to 

Saturday) that includes the 12th of the month, with actual 

interviewing occurring during the week following the 

reference week—known as the “survey week.” 

Sampling procedures 

The 2005 sample encompasses 824 sample areas, with 

coverage of every State and the District of Columbia. It is 

based, to a large extent, on information about the 

distribution of the population as reported in the Census 

2000 enumeration. (A redesigned Census 2000-based 

sample was phased in from April 2004 through July 2005.) 

The 824 areas were selected by dividing the entire area of 

the United States into 2,025 primary sampling units 

(PSUs). With some minor exceptions, a PSU consists of a 

county or a number of contiguous counties. Most 

metropolitan areas constitute separate PSUs. 

To improve the efficiency of the sample, the 2,025 

PSUs are grouped into strata within each State. Those 

PSUs which are in a stratum by themselves are called 

“self-representing” and are generally the most populous in 

each State. Other strata are formed by combining PSUs 

that are similar in such characteristics as population 

growth, proportion of Blacks and Hispanics, and 

distributions by occupation and industry and by age and 

sex. PSUs selected from these strata are “non-selfrepresenting,” because each one chosen represents the 

entire stratum. One PSU is selected from each stratum, 

with the probability of selection proportional to the 

relative population size of the PSU. 

In States with a SCHIP sample, the self-representing 

PSUs are the same for both the regular CPS and SCHIP. 

In most States, the same non-self-representing sample 

PSUs are in the sample for both the regular CPS and 

SCHIP; however, to improve the reliability of the SCHIP 

estimates in Maine, Maryland, and Nevada, the SCHIP 

non-self-representing PSUs are selected independently of 

the regular CPS sample PSUs, with replacement. The 

method for stratification of PSUs for SCHIP in these 

States is similar to that of the other stratifications, except 

that the stratification variable used is the number of 

people under age 18 with household income below twice 

the poverty level. 

Within each of the selected PSUs, the number of 

households to be enumerated each month is determined in 

two steps. First, a sample of the unit’s census enumeration 

districts (EDs) is selected through the use of the 

population size probability selection procedure. EDs are 

administrative units and contain, on average, about 300 

households. Second, clusters of approximately four 

addresses (contiguous wherever possible) are selected to 

be enumerated within each designated ED. 

Part of the sample is changed, or rotated, each month. 

A given rotation group is in the sample for 4 consecutive 

months, leaves the sample for the next 8 months, and then 

returns for another 4 consecutive months. A primary 

reason for rotating the sample is to minimize the lack of 

cooperation that may result from interviewing a constant 

panel indefinitely. The rotation plan provides for threefourths of the sample to be identical from one month to 

the next and one-half to be identical with that from the 

same month a year earlier.

Methods of estimation 

Under the methods of estimation used in the CPS, all of the 

results for a given month become available simultaneously 

and are based on returns from the entire sample of 

respondents. The estimation procedure involves weighting 

the data from each respondent by the inverse of the 

probability of the person being in the sample. This gives a 

rough measure of the number of actual persons that each 

sample person represents. Through a series of estimation 

steps (outlined next), the selection probabilities are 

adjusted for noninterviews and survey undercoverage; data 

from previous months are incorporated into the estimates 

through the composite estimation procedure. 

1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all 

interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to 

account for occupied sample households for which no 

information was obtained because of absence, impassable 

roads, refusals, or unavailability of the respondents for 

other reasons. This noninterview adjustment is made 

separately for clusters of similar sample areas that are 

usually, but not necessarily, contained within a State. 

Similarity of sample areas is based on metropolitan area 

status and size. Within each cluster, there is a further 

breakdown by residence. The proportion of sample 

households not interviewed averages about 7 percent to 8 

percent, depending upon a number of factors, including 

weather and vacations. 

2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population 

selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, 

from that of the population as a whole in such 

characteristics as age, race, sex, and State of residence. 

Because these characteristics are closely correlated with 

labor force participation and other principal measurements 

made from the sample, the survey estimates can be 

substantially improved when weighted appropriately by the 

known distribution of the population characteristics. This is 

accomplished through four stages of adjustment, as 

follows: 

a. First-stage ratio adjustment. The purpose of the firststage ratio adjustment is to reduce the contribution to the 

variance of the sample State-level estimates arising from 

the sampling of PSUs. (There would still be variance 

associated with the State-level estimates even if the survey 

included all households in every sample PSU.) This kind 

of variance is called between-PSU variance. For some 

States, the between-PSU variance makes up a relatively 

large proportion of the total variance, whereas the relative 

contribution of the between-PSU variance at the national 

level is generally quite small. There are several factors to 

be considered in determining what information to use in 

applying the first-stage adjustment: the information must 

be available for each PSU, be correlated with as many of 

the relevant statistics from the CPS as possible, and be 

reasonably stable over time so that the gain achieved from 

the ratio adjustment procedure does not deteriorate. The 

basic labor force categories (unemployed, nonagricultural 

employed, etc.) could be used; however, this information 

probably would fail the stability criterion. The distribution 

of the population by race (Black alone and non-Black 

alone) by age groups 0–15 years old and 16 years and 

older satisfies all three criteria, including stability. 

 Use of the categories of Black alone and non-Black 

alone compensates for the fact that the racial composition 

of a non-self-representing (NSR) sample PSU could differ 

substantially from the racial composition of the stratum it 

is representing. This adjustment is not necessary for selfrepresenting (SR) PSUs, because they represent only 

themselves. Adjustment factors are computed for the two 

race categories for each State containing NSR PSUs. The 

Black-alone and non-Black-alone cells are collapsed 

within a State when a cell meets any one of four sampling 

criteria.1

 As a result of these criteria, the first-stage ratio 

adjustment actually is used (that is, does not collapse to 

1.0) in less than half of the States. 

b. National coverage adjustment. A national coverage 

adjustment was added to the CPS weighting process 

beginning in 2003. The purpose of the national coverage 

adjustment is to correct for interactions between race and 

ethnicity that are not addressed in the second-stage 

weighting. (See item “d” on the next page.) Research has 

shown that the undercoverage of certain race-ethnicity 

combinations (for example, non-Black Hispanic) cannot 

be corrected with second-stage adjustment alone. The 

national coverage adjustment also helps to speed the 

convergence of the second-stage adjustment, resulting in 

fewer iterations required to reach the final national 

controls. The national coverage adjustment factors are 

based on independently derived estimates of the 

population. Person records are grouped into four pairs on 

the basis of their month-in-sample (MIS). MISs 1 and 5, 2 

and 6, 3 and 7, and 4 and 8 form the four pairs. Each MIS 

pair is then adjusted to age-sex-race-ethnicity population 

controls. Between 2 and 28 age cells are used, depending 

on which of the six major coverage groups (Black alone 

non-Hispanic, White alone non-Hispanic, White alone 

Hispanic, non-White alone Hispanic, Asian alone nonHispanic, or residual race non-Hispanic) is being 

adjusted. 

c. State coverage adjustment. In addition to a national 

coverage adjustment, a State coverage adjustment was 

added to the CPS weighting process beginning in 2003. 

The purpose of the State coverage adjustment is to adjust 

for State differences in sex-age-race coverage. Research 

 

1

 The four sampling criteria are (1) that the adjustment factor be 

greater than 1.3; (2) that the adjustment factor be less than 1/1.3 (or 

0.769230 in decimal form); (3) that there be fewer than four NSR 

sample PSUs in the State; and (4) that there be fewer than 10 

expected interviews in an age-race cell in the State. 

315
has shown that estimates of characteristics of certain race 

groups (for example, Blacks) can differ greatly from the 

controls if a State coverage adjustment is not used. 

However, unlike the national coverage adjustment, the 

State coverage adjustment slows the convergence of the 

second-stage ratio adjustment process. The State coverage 

adjustment is based on independently derived estimates of 

the population. Except for the District of Columbia, person 

records for non-Black alone are grouped into four pairs 

based on month-in-sample (MIS)—with the same MIS 

pairings (1 and 5, 2 and 6, 3 and 7, and 4 and 8) used as in 

the national coverage adjustment. Person records for Black 

alone for all States and non-Black alone for the District of 

Columbia are formed at the State level, with all months in 

the sample combined. For the Black-alone component of 

the adjustment, States are adjusted with the use of a varying number of age-sex-race cells based on the expected 

number of sample records in each age-sex cell. For 

example, for non-Black alone, all States except the District 

of Columbia are adjusted for three age groupings (0–15, 

16–44, and 45 and older) by sex. Each cell is adjusted to 

independent age-sex-race population controls in each State. 

d. Second-stage ratio adjustment. The second-stage ratio 

adjustment is performed to decrease the variance of the 

vast majority of the CPS sample estimates. Because the 

labor force status of individuals in the general population is 

correlated with their specific geographic and demographic 

identification (for example, teenagers and unemployment, 

or rural married women and labor force participation), the 

variance of the labor force estimates can be reduced by 

controlling the CPS sample estimates to independent 

estimates of selected geographic and demographic 

population categories. The procedure also is believed to 

reduce the bias due to coverage errors. The procedure 

adjusts the weights for the sample to estimates within each 

month-in-sample pair to control the sample estimates for a 

number of geographic and demographic subgroups of the 

population in order to ensure that these sample-based 

estimates of the population match independent population 

controls for each of the categories. These independent 

population controls are updated each month. Three sets of 

controls are used: (1) the civilian noninstitutional 

population for the 50 States and the District of Columbia 

by sex and age (0–15, 16–44, and 45 and older); (2) the 

national civilian noninstitutional population for 36 

Hispanic and 36 non-Hispanic age-sex categories; and (3) 

the total national civilian noninstitutional population for 56 

White, 36 Black, and 26 residual race-age-sex categories. 

The adjustment is done separately for each month-insample pair (1 and 5, 2 and 6, 3 and 7, and 4 and 8). 

Because adjusting the weights to match one set of controls 

can cause differences in other controls, an iterative process 

is used to simultaneously control all variables. Successive 

iterations begin with the weights as adjusted by all 

previous iterations. Ten iterations are performed, which 

results in (virtual) consistency between the sample 

estimates and the population controls. 

The independent population controls used for the CPS 

are produced by the Census Bureau’s Population 

Division. The CPS population controls are based on a 

demographic framework of population accounting. Under 

this framework, time series of population estimates and 

projections are anchored by the latest decennial census 

enumerations, with populations for dates since the latest 

decennial census derived from the estimation, or 

projection, of population change. In the simplest terms, 

estimates of population change are derived by adjusting 

the resident population as enumerated in the latest 

decennial census for births, deaths, and net migration, 

using information from a variety of data sources. 

Estimates of the resident population are adjusted to 

represent the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years 

of age and older (the eligible CPS population) by 

subtracting estimates of the number of residents under 16 

years of age, the number of residents in the Armed 

Forces, and the number of residents who are 

institutionalized. 

3. Composite estimation procedure. The last step in the 

preparation of most CPS estimates makes use of a 

composite estimation procedure. The composite estimate 

consists of a weighted average of two factors: (1) the 

second-stage ratio estimate based on the entire sample 

from the current month and (2) the composite estimate for 

the previous month, plus an estimate of the month-tomonth change based on the six rotation groups common 

to both months. In addition, a bias adjustment term is 

added to the weighted average to account for relative bias 

associated with month-in-sample estimates. The compositing procedure results in a further reduction in 

sampling error—that is, a reduction beyond that which is 

achieved after the two stages of ratio adjustment. 

Effective with the release of January 1998 data, a new 

composite estimation method was implemented for the 

CPS. The new technique provides increased operational 

simplicity for microdata users and allows optimization of 

compositing coefficients for different labor force 

categories. Under the new procedure, weights are derived 

for each record. These weights, when aggregated, produce 

estimates consistent with those produced by the 

composite estimator. Under the previous procedure, 

composite estimation was performed at the macrolevel. 

The composite estimator for each tabulated cell was a 

function of the aggregated weights for respondents 

contributing to the cell in question in current and previous 

months. The different months of data were combined by 

the use of compositing coefficients. Thus, microdata users 

needed several months of data to compute composite 

estimates. To ensure consistency, the same coefficients 

had to be used for all estimates. The values of the 

coefficients selected were much closer to optimal for 

316
unemployment values than for employment or labor force 

values. 

The new composite weighting method involves two 

steps: (1) the computation of composite estimates for the 

main labor force categories, classified by important 

demographic characteristics, and (2) the adjustment of the 

microdata weights, through a series of ratio adjustments, to 

agree with these composite estimates, thus incorporating 

the effect of composite estimation into the microdata 

weights. Under this procedure, the sum of the composite 

weights of all sample persons in a particular labor force 

category equals the composite estimate of the level for that 

category. Thus, to produce a composite estimate for a 

particular month, a data user needs simply to access the 

microdata file for that (single) month and compute a 

weighted sum. The new composite weighting approach 

also improves the accuracy of labor force estimates by 

using different compositing coefficients for different labor 

force categories. The weighting adjustment method ensures 

additivity while allowing variation in the compositing 

coefficients. 

Reliability of the estimates 

The estimates in this bulletin are based upon a sample of 

the population rather than a complete count. Therefore, 

they may differ from the figures that would have been 

obtained if it had been possible to take a complete census 

using the same questionnaire and procedures that are used 

in the CPS. There are two types of errors in an estimate 

based on a sample survey: sampling error and nonsampling 

error. Appendix tables B-2 through B-5 indicate the 

magnitude of the sampling error. They also partially 

measure the effect of some nonsampling errors in response 

and enumeration but do not measure any systematic biases 

in the data. 

Sampling variability. The standard error is primarily a 

measure of sampling variability—that is, the variation that 

occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire 

population is surveyed. The sample estimate and its 

standard error enable one to construct confidence 

intervals—that is, ranges that would include the average 

result of all possible samples with a known probability. For 

example, if all possible samples were selected, each of 

these samples were surveyed under essentially the same 

conditions by use of the same sample design, and an 

estimate and its estimated standard error were calculated 

from each sample, then the following would occur: 

1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals 

from 1 standard error below the estimate to 1 

standard error above the estimate would 

include the average result of all possible 

samples. 

2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals 

from 1.645 standard errors below the estimate 

to 1.645 standard errors above the estimate 

would include the average result of all 

possible samples. 

3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals 

from 2 standard errors below the estimate to 

2 standard errors above the estimate would 

include the average result of all possible 

samples. 

The error of a sample estimate varies inversely with 

the size of the sample and directly with the size of the 

estimate. Hence, an estimate for a subgroup constituting a 

small proportion of a population will tend to have a larger 

error relative to its size than will an estimate for a larger 

subgroup. 

Reliability standards 

The CPS sample design takes into consideration both 

national and State reliability. For the State data, a 

minimum reliability standard is set: an expected 

maximum coefficient of variation (CV) on the level of 

total unemployment of 8.0 percent annually. This is 

calculated with the assumption of a 6.0-percent 

unemployment rate. Because each State's sample design 

must meet the reliability standard, the CPS sampling rate 

differs by State. (The sampling rate is the proportion of all 

households that are selected for the sample.) Generally, 

the smaller the State population, the higher is the 

sampling rate. The average State sampling rates range 

roughly from 1 in every 200 households to 1 in every 

2,500 households in each stratum within the State. 

Publication standards for State and area CPS data 

To achieve comparability of the data for regions, 

divisions, States, metropolitan areas, metropolitan 

divisions, and cities for publication purposes, a unique 

requirement for minimum levels for the labor force and 

for employment and unemployment was developed for 

each area. This requirement is based on the known 

differences in sampling rates among these areas. Before 

estimates are published for a specific category (such as 

Hispanic unemployment in a particular State), a 

predetermined “critical cell” must meet a 50-percent CV 

requirement. As a result of this requirement, minimum 

bases for publication have been developed for each area. 

Table B-1 lists the minimum necessary base for 

publication of data in each of the census regions and 

divisions; in the States and the District of Columbia; and 

in the metropolitan areas, metropolitan divisions, and 

cities appearing in this bulletin. 

Estimates are not shown when they do not meet the 

minimum base for the State or area listed in table B-1. In 

tables showing the labor force status of the population— 

that is, the number of employed and unemployed— 

publishability is determined by whether the labor force 

level exceeds the minimum base for unemployment in 

table B-1. If the labor force level is less than the 

unemployment minimum base, all data—labor force, 

317
employment, unemployment, and unemployment rate—are 

suppressed. In all other tables, the determining factor is 

whether the size of the base of the distribution exceeds the 

minimum base for employment or unemployment 

separately, depending on whether the table presents a 

distribution of employment or unemployment for the area 

or population subgroup. For example, in the table showing 

percent distribution of unemployed persons by reason for 

unemployment, the entire line of data will be suppressed if 

the total unemployment is less than the minimum base for 

unemployment. If a subgroup appears in the table (such as 

a given sex or race), data for the subgroup also will be 

suppressed if the total for the reason in question does not 

meet the minimum base. Data are not published for any 

cell with a level of fewer than 500 persons or less than 0.05 

percent of the total for a given characteristic. 

Using the sampling error tables 

Appendix tables B-2 through B-5 provide sampling errors 

for use in constructing 90-percent confidence intervals 

(approximately 1.645 standard errors) for the major 

employment status characteristics. The sampling errors 

provided are approximations and thus indicate the order of 

magnitude of the sampling error rather than the precise 

amount of the possible error in an estimate. Illustrations on 

the use of these tables are provided next. In all cases, the 

computations present the estimated levels in thousands of 

persons. 

Sampling error of an estimated number. Table B-5 shows 

that an estimate of 50,000 unemployed persons in Virginia

will have an absolute sampling error of 10,000, for a 

relative sampling error of 20 percent (10,000/50,000). In 

comparison, an estimate of 100,000 unemployed persons in 

Virginia has an absolute sampling error of 15,000, yielding

a relative sampling error of 15 percent (15,000/100,000). A 

statement that unemployment for a particular group is 

between 40,000 and 60,000 in the first instance, and 

between 85,000 and 115,000 in the second, can be made 

with approximately 90-percent confidence. 

The latter statement can be interpreted as follows: if 

one were to draw all possible samples, make an estimate 

from each sample (using the same methods and 

techniques), and construct an interval around each estimate 

(with the sampling errors shown in the tables), then 90 

percent of the intervals would contain the average value of 

all possible samples. 

In order to convert a sampling error from 90-percent

confidence, as displayed in the tables, to 68-percent 

confidence (1 standard error), multiply the sampling error 

shown in the tables by 0.63. To convert the sampling error 

from 90-percent to 95-percent confidence (approximately 2 

standard errors), multiply the sampling error by 1.23. For 

the example given, the sampling error at 90-percent 

confidence is 10,000. At 68-percent confidence, the error 

would be about 6,300 (10,000 × 0.63). At 95-percent 

confidence, the error would be about 12,300 (10,000 × 

1.23). 

Sampling error of a difference. To compute the error of a 

difference from the tables, an additional step is required. 

If, for instance, one wishes to know whether a change in 

the unemployment rate from one year to the next in a 

particular area for a particular population group is 

statistically significant or whether the difference in the 

unemployment rate between two areas or population 

groups is statistically meaningful, the significance of the 

difference needs to be computed. (Differences between 

estimates for 2 consecutive years may be influenced to 

some extent by a redesign of the CPS concepts, 

questionnaire, and collection procedures, such as the one 

that occurred in 1994.) 

As noted before, differences can take two general 

forms: (1) differences between population groups and/or 

geographic areas, and (2) differences for the same 

population group and geographic area over time. Either 

type of difference can be calculated with the following 

formula, noting the limiting covariance assumption 

discussed later: 

 SEd = [( SE1

2

 + SE2

2

 ) – 2C( SE1 × SE2 )] 1/2, 

where 

 SEd = the sampling error of the difference, 

 SE1 = the sampling error of one group or year, 

 SE2 = the sampling error of another group or year, 

and 

 C = the covariance (or relationship) term. 

The values of SE1 and SE2 can be found in the 

appropriate table of Geographic Profile for each year if 

the comparison is between different years, because the 

size of the samples and, consequently, sampling errors 

may differ from year to year. Values for the covariance, 

or C term, for employment and unemployment for 

differences between consecutive years are as follows: for 

labor force or employment levels, C = 0.58; for 

unemployment levels or rates, C = 0.37. It is important to 

note that these C terms are usable only for calculating the 

sampling error of a difference for over-the-year change 

for the same geographic area and population group.

Covariance terms for the relationship between 

different population groups or geographic areas in this 

bulletin are not available. In calculating sampling errors 

for differences between two different population groups 

or geographic areas, a C term of zero must be assumed. 

The effect of this assumption is that (1) if the relationship 

between two groups, areas, or years (differences for 

nonconsecutive years) is small, then the C term can 

legitimately be ignored and the sampling errors will not 

be adversely affected, and (2) if there is a strong positive 

relationship between the two groups, areas, or years 

(differences for consecutive years), then the error 

318
computed without a C term will be overstated. An 

overstatement could lead one to erroneously state that a 

difference or change was not statistically significant when, 

in fact, it was. When there is a strong relationship over 

time for a characteristic such as employment (people tend 

to remain employed from one year to the next), the 

importance of using a C term to calculate the sampling 

error of a difference over time increases greatly. 

The next example illustrates how to calculate a 

sampling error of a difference. Suppose one wished to 

know whether a hypothetical difference between an 

unemployment level of 250,000 for a particular population 

group in California and an unemployment level of 200,000 

for the same group in New York was statistically 

significant at 90-percent confidence. Table B-5 gives the 

error for an unemployment level of 250,000 in California 

as approximately 23,000 and the error for an

unemployment level of 200,000 in New York as 18,000.

Using the formula described previously without the C term 

produces the following results: 

 SE1 = 23; SE2 = 18

 SE1

2

 + SE2

2

 = 853

 SEd = ( SE1

2

 + SE2

2

 )1/2 = 29

Because each State's sample is independent, there is no 

measurable correlation between the unemployment 

estimates for California and New York, and a C term of 

zero can be assumed. Thus, the error of the difference is 

approximately 29,000. Because the actual difference 

(50,000) is greater than the error of the difference, it can be 

stated, with 90-percent confidence, that the difference in 

the unemployment level is attributable to factors other than 

sampling variability alone. 

Sampling errors for unemployment rates. Unemployment 

rates and error ranges for these rates are provided in tables 

1, 14, and 27. This information can be used to derive a 

sampling error for an unemployment rate if one is needed. 

The error range is a 90-percent confidence interval around 

the unemployment rate. By subtracting the estimated 

unemployment rate from the upper bound of the range (or 

subtracting the lower bound of the range from the 

estimated unemployment rate), the sampling error for the 

rate can be obtained. This sampling error can then be used 

in the formula given previously for computing the 

sampling error of a difference, or for any other purpose the 

user chooses. 

Interpolation and extrapolation. Although sampling errors 

are listed for selected levels of employment and 

unemployment in tables B-2 through B-5, users may wish 

to know the sampling error for an estimate whose value is 

not listed. To derive such a sampling error, it is necessary 

to use interpolation or extrapolation. 

 

For example, in order to derive the sampling error for

the 2005 total unemployment level for women in Ohio, it 

is necessary to use interpolation because table B-5 

contains no sampling error for an unemployment-level 

estimate of 175,000. The following formula and 

accompanying example show how to interpolate for this 

estimate: 

SE = {[(A – G) / (F – G)] × (X – Y)} + Y

where 

SE = the sampling error for the estimated value, 

A = the estimated value (175,000), 

F = the table value (200,000) immediately above 

 the estimated value, 

G = the table value (100,000) immediately below 

 the estimated value, 

X = the sampling error of F (18,000), and 

Y = the sampling error of G (13,000). 

Thus, 

SE = {[(175 – 100) / (200 – 100)] × (18 – 13)} + 13

= (0.75 × 5) + 13

= 3.75 + 13

≈ 17

If the sample-based estimate lies outside the 

boundaries of the error tables, extrapolation can be used 

to approximate the sampling error. The formula for 

extrapolation is the same as that for interpolation; 

however, the F term becomes the highest value in the 

table and the G term becomes the next-highest value. 

Derivation of sampling errors

The State and area sampling errors are developed with a 

generalized regression procedure and are not based on 

sample data for each individual area, population group, or 

labor force characteristic. As with all sampling error 

tables produced for CPS State and area data, a number of 

approximations are required in order to derive sampling 

errors that apply to a wide variety of items. As a result, 

these sampling errors indicate the order of magnitude of 

the error rather than a precise error for any specific item. 

The sampling error tables are derived from standard error 

equations and special parameters developed by the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics. These parameters are available 

upon request from the Division of Local Area 

Unemployment Statistics, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 

Room 4675, 2 Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington, 

DC 20212-0001. Telephone: (202) 691–6392. 

Tables B-2 through B-5 can be used for estimates 

pertaining to any race or ethnic group whose data are 

published. As noted, the sampling errors are based on a 

generalized regression procedure and are approximate. 

Generally, the degree of precision in these tables is 

slightly greater for Whites (and the total of all race and 

ethnic groups) than it is for Blacks or Hispanics.

Appendix C. 

Geographic Boundary 

Definitions 

able C-1 of this appendix lists the States composing 

the census regions and divisions for which data are 

published in section I. Tables C-2 and C-3 provide the 

geographic boundary definitions of the metropolitan areas 

and metropolitan divisions, respectively, for which data are 

published in section III. The information for metropolitan 

areas and metropolitan divisions reflects the standards and 

definitions established by the U.S. Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) on June 6, 2003.1

Effective December 22, 1987, the boundary of the St. 

Louis metropolitan area was redefined to include the part 

of Sullivan city in Crawford County, Missouri. That

change is not reflected in the data for St. Louis shown in 

this bulletin, although the addition of entire counties in 

2003 is reflected. 

Metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions 

The general concept of a metropolitan area is that of a 

core area containing a large population nucleus, together 

with adjacent communities that have a high degree of 

economic and social integration with that core. 

 

1

 The standards were published in the Federal Register on December 

27, 2000. The definitions and a complete listing of the areas were first 

published on June 6, 2003, in OMB Bulletin No. 03–04. Area titles 

appearing in this publication reflect updates per OMB Bulletin No.

09–01, Update of Statistical Area Definitions and Guidance on Their

Uses, dated November 20, 2008. 

A Metropolitan Statistical Area consists of at least one 

urbanized area that has a population of at least 50,000. 

The Metropolitan Statistical Area comprises the central 

county or counties containing the urbanized core area,

plus adjacent outlying counties having a high degree of 

social and economic integration with the central county or 

counties, as measured through commuting ties. 

A Metropolitan Division is essentially a separately 

identifiable employment center within a very large 

Metropolitan Statistical Area (one with a core population 

of 2.5 million or more). The Metropolitan Division 

consists of one or more main or secondary counties that 

represent an employment center, plus adjacent counties 

associated with the main or secondary county or counties 

through the strongest commuting ties. 

The data published in section III reflect New England 

City and Town Area (NECTA) definitions, rather than the 

county-based Metropolitan Statistical Area and Metropolitan Division definitions, in the six New England

States. In previous decades, the statistical areas that OMB 

defined for the New England States were city and town 

based, with county-based areas specified as an alternative

for users seeking a comparable geographic basis. For the 

current definitions, all Metropolitan Statistical Areas and 

Metropolitan Divisions are county based, with NECTAs

serving as an equivalent alternative for the New England 

States.
