Preface 

 nnual data on the labor force, employment, and 

 unemployment in States and substate 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 by the U.S. Census Bureau for 

the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The LAUS 

program is a Federal-State cooperative endeavor in 

which State employment security agencies prepare 

estimates using concepts, definitions, and estimation 

procedures prescribed by BLS. 

This bulletin presents 2002 annual averages 

from the CPS for census regions and divisions, the 50 

States and the District of Columbia, 50 large 

metropolitan areas, and 17 central cities. Data are 

provided on the employed and unemployed by 

selected demographic and economic characteristics. 

Tables 1 through 11 present 2002 annual 

average labor force estimates for census regions and 

divisions. Similar information for all States and the 

District of Columbia appears in tables 12 through 23. 

All these data reflect, for the first time, 2000 Censusbased population controls. The LAUS program uses 

the total CPS estimates for States and the District of 

Columbia as the official annual average labor force 

statistics. 

Tables 24 through 28 display 2002 annual 

average rates, ratios, and percent distributions from 

the CPS for 50 large metropolitan areas and 17 

central cities. Levels for the various labor force 

categories are not presented because independent 

census-based population controls are not available for 

geographic areas below the State level. The CPS 

metropolitan area and city estimates may differ 

from the official estimates produced by the 

individual States through the LAUS program. 

CPS estimates are provided herein because they are 

the only current source of information on 

demographic and economic characteristics for these 

areas. Official 2002 annual average LAUS estimates 

for metropolitan areas appeared in the May 2003 

issue of Employment and Earnings. Official LAUS 

estimates for metropolitan areas and cities were 

published on the BLS Web site. Geographic 

definitions for metropolitan areas in this publication 

reflect those issued by the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) on June 30, 1993. (See appendix C.) 

This bulletin was prepared in the 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 Data Users and Publication Services Group.

Geographic Profile of Employment 

and Unemployment, 2002 

 he Current Population Survey (CPS) is the 

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 origin) 

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 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 Hispanic). 

Instead, one table is used for all population groups 

for a given labor force characteristic, because 

differences in sampling errors are usually minimal.

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.

 NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS

publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that

area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals because of rounding. Detail for

race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals because data for the "other

races" group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and

black population groups. Data incorporate updated Census 2000-based population

controls.

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 Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet BLS

publication standards of reliability for the particular area, based on the sample

in that area. See appendix B.

 NOTE: Items may not add to totals because of rounding. Detail for race and

Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals because data for the "other races"

group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black

population groups.

 NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet

BLS publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the

sample in that area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals because of

rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals

because data for the "other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are

included in both the white and black population groups.

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 and/or the unemployment rate is low. 3 Less than 500 persons or .05 percent.

 NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS

publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that

area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals because of rounding. Detail for

race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals because data for the "other

races" group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and

black population groups. Data incorporate updated Census 2000-based population

controls.

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 Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet BLS

publication standards of reliability for the particular area, based on the sample

in that area. See appendix B.

 NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not

meet BLS publication standards of reliability for the particular area based

on the sample in that area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals

because of rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not

add to totals because data for the "other races" group are not presented

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 Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet BLS publication

standards of reliability for the particular area, based on the sample in that area. See

appendix B. 4 Less than 500 persons.

 

NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS

publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that

area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals because of rounding. Detail for

race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals because data for the "other

races" group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black

population groups. The estimates shown in this table for whites, blacks, and persons

of Hispanic-origin who usually work part time may include a small number of persons

at work 35 hours or more in the reference week.

publication standards of reliability for the particular area, based on the

sample in that area. See appendix B. 2 Less than 500 persons or 0.05 percent.

NOTE: Distributions do not necessarily sum to 100.0 percent, due to

rounding. Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do

not meet BLS publication standards of reliability for the particular area

based on the sample in that area. See appendix B. Items may not add

to totals because of rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin

groups will not add to totals because data for the "other races" group

are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and

black population groups.

1 Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet BLS

publication standards of reliability for the particular area, based on the sample

in that area. See appendix B. 2 Less than 500 persons.

 NOTE: Distributions do not necessarily sum to 100.0 percent, due to

rounding. Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet

BLS publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the

sample in that area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute

to displayed percentages because of rounding. Detail for race and

Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals because data for the "other races"

group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black

population groups.

Section lll. Estimates for Metropolitan

Areas and Cities

Labor force, employment, and unemployment levels from the

CPS for metropolitan areas and cities usually shown in tables 24

through 28 are not provided because updated population controls are not available. As a consequence, only rates, ratios, and

percent distributions are published and the usual table formats

and sequence have been altered. Unemployment rates shown in

table 24 may differ from the estimates produced through the LAUS

program.

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 and/or the

unemployment rate is low.

 

NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when

they do not meet BLS publication standards of reliability for the

particular area based on the sample in that area. See

Appendix A. 

Concepts and Definitions 

for Data derived from the 

Current Population Survey 

 ables showing labor force status include 

 provisional estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years and older, as well as 

data on the civilian labor force, labor force 

participation rates, and unemployment rates. Population estimates are revised by the U.S. Census 

Bureau each year, and the revised estimates are 

incorporated into the Current Population Survey (CPS) 

labor force levels. This adjustment affects the estimates of labor force, employment, and unemployment, but generally does not affect percentages, such 

as unemployment rates, participation rates, or 

employment-population ratios. The implementation of 

Census 2000-based population controls into the 2002 

annual average CPS data, however, did affect 

percentages, most substantially for States with a large 

difference between the extrapolated 1990 censusbased demographic composition and that observed in 

the 2000 enumeration. As a result of the introduction 

of the Census 2000-based population controls, data 

presented in this bulletin are not strictly comparable 

with data published for prior years. 

The concepts and definitions underlying labor 

force data in use as of January 1994 are as follows: 

Civilian noninstitutional population. Included are 

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) did any work at all (at least 1 

hour) as paid employees, worked 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 vacation, illness, 

bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or 

paternity leave, labor-management dispute, job 

training, or other family or personal reasons, whether 

or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking 

other jobs. 

Unemployed persons. Included are all persons who 

had no employment during the reference week; were 

available for work, except for temporary illness; and 

had made specific efforts to find employment some 

time 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 represents the 

length of time (through the current reference week) 

that persons classified as unemployed had been 

looking for work. For persons on layoff, duration of 

unemployment represents the number of full weeks 

they had been on layoff. 

Reason for unemployment. Unemployment also is 

categorized according to the status of individuals at 

the time they began to look for work. These reasons 

for unemployment are divided into five major groups: 

(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, persons 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 the jobs ended; (4) Reentrants, persons 

who previously worked but were out of the labor 

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

entrants, persons who had never worked. 

Labor force. This group comprises all persons classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with 

the criteria described above. 

Unemployment rate. The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the 

labor force. 

Participation rate. This represents the proportion of 

the civilian noninstitutional population that is in the 

labor force. 

T
152

Employment-population ratio. This represents the 

proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population 

that is employed. 

Occupation and industry. This information for the 

employed applies to the job held in the reference 

week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified in 

the job at which they worked the greatest number of 

hours. The unemployed are classified according to 

their last job. The occupational and industrial 

classification of CPS data is based on the coding 

systems used in the 1990 census. 

Class of worker. The class-of-worker breakdown 

assigns workers to the following categories: Private 

and government wage and salary workers, selfemployed 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. 

Self-employed 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; all the 

hours are credited to the major job. 

At work part time for economic reasons. Sometimes 

referred to as involuntary part time, this category 

refers to individuals who gave an economic reason for 

working 1 to 34 hours during the reference week. 

Economic reasons include slack work or unfavorable 

business conditions, inability to find full-time work, 

and seasonal declines in demand. Those who usually 

work part time must also indicate that they want and 

are available for full-time work to be classified as 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. Noneconomic reasons include, for example: 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 gave an 

economic reason for usually working 1 to 34 hours 

but said they did not want to work full time or were 

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 therefore classified in the zero-hoursworked category, “with a job but not at work.” These 

are persons who were absent from their jobs for the 

entire 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 their activity during the reference week, persons 

also are classified according to their usual full- or 

part-time status. In this context, full-time workers are 

those who usually worked 35 hours or more (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 more than 34 hours in the 

reference week, as well as those who were 

temporarily absent from work. 

White, black, and other. These are terms used to 

describe the race of persons. Included in the “other” 

group are American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and 

Asians and Pacific Islanders. 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 origin. 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 origin or descent. 

Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race; thus, 

they are included in both the white and black 

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 is conducted each month by the U.S. Census 

Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides 

comprehensive data on the labor force, employed, and 

unemployed, including such characteristics as sex, 

age, race, Hispanic origin, 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 occupied housing units, designed to represent 

the civilian noninstitutional population. Selected 

respondents are interviewed to obtain information 

about the employment status of each household 

member 16 years of age and over. The “reference 

week” is the calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) 

which includes the 12th of the month. Actual field 

interviewing is conducted during the following week, 

which is known as the “survey week.” 

Sampling procedures 

The 2002 sample encompasses 754 sample areas, with 

coverage in 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 1990 

decennial Census. (A redesigned 1990 Census-based 

sample was phased in during the April 1994 through 

July 1995 period.) These areas were selected by 

dividing the entire area of the United States into 2,007 

primary sampling units (PSUs). With some minor 

exceptions, a PSU consists of a county or number of 

contiguous counties. Most metropolitan areas 

constitute separate PSUs. 

To improve the efficiency of the sample, the 2,007 

PSUs are grouped into strata within each State. Then, 

one PSU is selected from each stratum, with the 

probability of selection proportionate to the relative 

population size of the PSU. PSUs in strata 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 occupation/ 

industry and age/sex distributions. PSUs selected 

from these strata are “non-self-representing,” because 

each one chosen represents the entire stratum. 

Within each of the selected PSUs, the number of 

households to be enumerated each month is determined in two steps. First, a sample of census 

enumeration districts (EDs) is selected using 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 during the 

following 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. 

Estimating methods 

Under the estimating methods 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 

sample person 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 below), 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 noninterT
154

view 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 varies from 7 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 

these population characteristics. This is accomplished 

through two stages of ratio adjustment, as follows: 

a. First-stage ratio estimation. The purpose of the 

first-stage ratio adjustment is to reduce the 

contribution to variance that results from selecting a 

sample of PSUs rather than drawing sample 

households from every PSU in the Nation. This 

adjustment is made to the CPS weights in two race 

cells, black and nonblack, and is applied only to PSUs 

that are non-self-representing and in those States that 

have a substantial number of black households. The 

procedure corrects for differences that existed in each 

State cell at the time of the 1990 Census between the 

race distribution of the population in sample PSUs and 

the race distribution of all non-self-representing PSUs. 

b. Second-stage ratio estimation. This procedure 

substantially reduces the variability of estimates and 

corrects, to some extent, for CPS undercoverage. The 

CPS sample weights are adjusted to ensure that 

sample-based estimates of population match independent population controls. Three sets of controls are 

used: 

1) 51 State controls of the civilian 

noninstitutional population 16 years of age 

and older, 

2) National civilian noninstitutional population 

controls for 14 Hispanic and 5 non-Hispanic 

age-sex categories, and 

3) National civilian noninstitutional population 

controls for 66 white, 42 black, and 10 “other” 

age-sex categories. 

The independent population controls are prepared 

by projecting forward the resident population as 

enumerated on April 1, 2000. The projections are 

derived by updating demographic census data with 

information from a variety of other data sources that 

account for births, deaths, and net migration. 

Subtracting estimated numbers of resident Armed 

Forces personnel and institutionalized persons 

reduces the resident population to the civilian 

noninstitutional population. 

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-to-month 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 reduction in 

sampling error beyond that which is achieved after 

the two stages of ratio adjustment. 

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 as are used in the CPS. There are two 

types of errors in an estimate based on a sample 

survey—sampling and nonsampling. The sampling 

error tables provided later in this appendix 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 using the same sample design, and an 

estimate and its estimated standard error were 

calculated from each sample, then the following 

would occur: 
155

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 1.6 standard errors below 

the estimate to 1.6 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 percent annually. This is 

calculated based on a 6-percent unemployment rate. 

Because each State's 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 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, and cities for 

publication purposes, a unique requirement for 

minimum labor force, employment, or 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 regions, divisions, States, the District of 

Columbia, metropolitan areas, 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 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 

elements—labor force, employment, unemployment, 

and unemployment rate—are suppressed. In all other 

tables, the determining factor is whether the size of 

the base of 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 

percent distribution of unemployed persons by reason 

table, the entire line of data will be suppressed if the 

total unemployment is less than the unemployment 

minimum base. If a subgroup appears in the table 

(such as by sex or race), the subgroup also will be 

suppressed if the total for that reason 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 

Tables B-2 through B-5 provide sampling errors for 

use in constructing 90-percent confidence intervals 

(approximately 1.6 standard errors) for major labor 

force characteristics. They 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 below. 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 North Carolina will have an absolute 

sampling error of 10,000, or a relative sampling error 

of 20 percent (10,000/50,000). In comparison, an 

estimate of 100,000 unemployed persons in North 

Carolina has an absolute sampling error of 14,000, 

yielding a relative sampling error of 14 percent 

(14,000/100,000). A statement that unemployment in 

North Carolina is between 40,000 and 60,000 in the 

first instance, and between 86,000 and 114,000 in the 

second, can be made with approximately 90-percent 

confidence. 

This can be interpreted as follows: if one were to 

draw all possible samples and make an estimate from 
156

each sample (using the same methods and techniques) 

and construct an interval around each estimate (using 

the sampling errors shown in the tables), then 90 

percent of these intervals would contain the average 

value of all possible samples. 

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- to 95-percent confidence (approximately 2 standard errors) multiply the sampling 

error by 1.23. For the example given above, the 

sampling error at 90-percent confidence was 10,000. 

At 68-percent confidence, the error would be about 

6,300 (10,000 x 0.63). At 95-percent confidence, the 

error would be about 12,300 (10,000 x 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 the redesign of 

the CPS concepts, questionnaire, and collection 

procedures, such as that which occurred in 1994.) 

As noted above, differences can take two general 

forms: (1) Differences between population groups 

and/or geographic areas; or (2) differences for the 

same population group and geographic area over time. 

Either type of difference can be calculated using the 

following formula, and noting the limiting covariance 

assumption discussed below. 

 SEd = (( SE1

2 + SE22 ) - 2C x ( SE1 x 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. 

 C = the covariance (or relationship) term. 

The 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. When 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: (1) If the relationship between two groups, areas, 

or years (differences for nonconsecutive years) is 

small, the “C” term can legitimately be ignored and 

the sampling errors will not be adversely affected, or 

(2) if there is a strong positive relationship between 

the two groups, areas, or years (differences for 

consecutive years), then the error computed without a 

“C” term will be overstated. This 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 labor 

force characteristic such as employment (that is, 

people tend to remain employed from one year to the 

next), the importance of using a “C” term when 

calculating the sampling error of a difference over 

time increases greatly. 

The following example illustrates how to 

calculate a sampling error for a difference. Suppose 

one wished to know whether a hypothetical

difference between the 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 24,000 and the error for 

an unemployment level of 200,000 in New York as 

17,000. Using the formula described above without 

the “C” term produces the following results: 

 SE1 = 24; SE2 = 17 

 SE1

2 + SE22 = 865 

 SEd = (( SE1

2 + SE2

2 ))1/2 = 29 

Because each State's sample is independent, there 

is no measurable correlation between the two 

estimates and a “C” term of zero can be assured. 

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, 12, and 24. 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, 

the sampling error for that rate can be obtained. This 

sampling error can then be used in the above formula 

for computing the sampling error of a difference, or 

for whatever 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 2002 total unemployment level for men in 

Washington, it is necessary to use interpolation 

because table B-5 contains no sampling error for an 

unemployment level estimate of 127,000. The 

following formula and accompanying example show 

how to interpolate for this estimate: 

SE = {[(A-G) / (F-G)] x (X-Y)} + Y 

where: 

SE = the sampling error for the estimated value. 

A = the estimated value (127,000). 

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 (20,000). 

Y = the sampling error of G (15,000). 

SE = {[(127 - 100) / (200 - 100)] x (20 - 15)} + 15 

SE = ( 0.27 x 5 ) + 15 

= 1.35 + 15 

= 16 

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 

using 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 would 

apply to a wide variety of items. As a result, these 

sampling errors indicate the order of magnitude of a 

sampling error rather than a precise sampling 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, Room 4675, 2 Massachusetts Avenue NE, Washington, DC 20212-0001. 

Telephone: (202) 691-6406. 

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

pertaining to any race/ethnic group. 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/ethnic groups) 

than it is for blacks or Hispanics.
