Bulletin 2591 

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 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 2003 annual averages from the 

CPS for census regions and divisions, the 50 States and 

the District of Columbia, and 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 13 present 2003 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. The 

LAUS program no longer uses the total CPS estimates for 

States and the District of Columbia as the official annual 

average labor force statistics, due to a change in its 

modeling procedures that was implemented in March 

2005. 

Tables 27 through 32 display 2003 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 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. Geographic definitions for the 

metropolitan areas in this publication continue to reflect 

those issued by the Office of Management and Budget 

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

Official 2003 annual average LAUS estimates for 

metropolitan areas, however, reflect the geographic 

designations that were issued by OMB on December 5, 

2005. These LAUS estimates first appeared in the May 

2004 issue of Employment and Earnings and are available 

(as revised) through the BLS Web site. 

The data in this bulletin reflect, for the first time, 

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 that one race group. Persons 

who reported some other 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, for the first time, 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 

Data Users and Publication Services Group. 

Information in this bulletin is available to sensory

Geographic Profile of Employment 

and Unemployment, 2003 

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 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 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.

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 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 B. Items may not add to totals because of rounding. 

Estimates for the above race groups (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 based on

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 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. Estimates for the above race groups (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 add to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the above

race groups (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

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

above race groups (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 add to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the

above race groups (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

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 0.05 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 2000 census-based

population controls.

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

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 Less than 500 persons. 4 Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet BLS

publication standard 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. Estimates for the

above race groups (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.

separately. Estimates for the above race groups (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 above race groups (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 add to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the above

race groups (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 add to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the

above race groups (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.

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 Less than 500 persons.

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

race groups (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.

military duty, and all other reasons. 3 Less than 500 persons.

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

the above race groups (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 add to totals because of rounding. Estimates

for the above race groups (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 add to totals because of rounding. Estimates for the

above race groups (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.

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 27

through 32 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 27 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

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 Data do not reflect the official U.S. Office of Management and

Budget definition. See appendix C.

 NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they

do not meet BLS publication standards of reliability for the area

based on the sample in that area. See appendix B.

Concepts and Definitions 

for Data derived from the 

Current Population Survey

ables showing 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, 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. 

Thus, levels contained in this publication may not be 

comparable with levels published prior to or after 2003 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. 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. 

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 

T

253
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; 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 to work full time 

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-hours-worked 

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, fulltime 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 or African American, Asian, and other.

These are terms used to describe the race of persons. 

Included in the “other” group are persons classified within 

the American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN), Native 

Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHPI), some other 

race (SOR), and 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 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 age, sex, race, Hispanic or 

Latino ethnicity, 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, designed to represent the civilian 

noninstitutional population. This sample includes 

approximately 10,000 additional eligible households to the 

regular CPS sample added to meet the requirements of the 

State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) 

legislation. The SCHIP legislation requires that the Census 

Bureau improve State estimates of the number of children 

who live in low-income 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 based on 

the reliability of the March 2000 estimate of low-income 

children without health insurance. 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 over. 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 2003 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. Those 

PSUs that are in stratum by themselves are called “selfrepresenting” 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. 

One PSU is selected from each stratum, with the 

probability of selection proportionate to the relative 

population size of the PSU. 

In States with 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 independent of 

the regular CPS sample PSUs, with replacement. The 

methodology for stratification of PSUs for SCHIP in these 

States is similar to the other stratifications, except that the 

stratification variable used is the number of people under 

age 18 with household income below 200% of poverty. 

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 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 

T

255
 three-fourths 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 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 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 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. That is, the variance that still would 

be associated with the state-level estimates even if the 

survey included all households in every sample PSU. This 

is called between-PSU variance. For some States, the 

between-PSU variance makes up a relatively large 

proportion of the total variance, while 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, correlated with as many of the 

statistics of importance from the CPS as possible, and 

reasonably stable over time so that the gain 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/nonblack alone) by age groups 0-15 and 16+ satisfies all three 

criteria.

 The use of black alone/non-black alone categories 

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 since 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 one of four sample criteria.1

 As 

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

actually is used (i.e., 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 for 

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 d. 

below). Research has shown that the under-coverage of 

certain race-ethnicity combinations (e.g., 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 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 

based on month-in-sample (MIS). MIS 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—using between two and twenty-eight age cells 

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 non-Hispanic, and residual race non-Hispanic) is 

being adjusted, by sex. 

c. State coverage adjustment. In addition to a national 

coverage adjustment, a State coverage adjustment also 

 1

 The four sampling criteria are: (1) the adjustment factor is 

greater than 1.3; (2) the adjustment factor is less than 1/1.3 = 

0.769230; (3) there are fewer than four NSR sample PSUs in the 

State; and (4) there are fewer than ten expected interviews in an 

age/race cell in the State. 

256
was added to the CPS weighting process for 2003. The 

purpose of the State coverage adjustment is to adjust for 

State differences in sex/age/race coverage. Research has 

shown that estimates of characteristics of certain race 

groups (e.g., 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 (1/5, 2/6, 3/7, and 4/8) 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 sample 

combined. For the black alone component of the 

adjustment, States are adjusted using 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+), 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 (e.g., 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 to ensure that these samplebased estimates of the population match independent 

population controls for each of these 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+); (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 agesex categories. 

The adjustment is done separately for each month-insample pair (1/5, 2/6, 3/7, and 4/8). 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. A total of ten iterations are performed, which 

result 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 by 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 over (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 that 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 reduction in sampling 

error beyond that which is achieved after the two stages of 

ratio adjustment. 

Effective with the release of January 1998 data, BLS 

implemented a new composite estimation method for the 

CPS. The new technique provides increased operational 

simplicity for micro-data users and allows optimization of 

compositing coefficients for different labor force 

categories. Under the new procedure, weights are derived 

for each record which, when aggregated, produce 

estimates consistent with those produced by the 

composite estimator. Under the previous procedure, 

composite estimation was performed at the macro level. 

The composite estimator for each tabulated cell was a 

function of the aggregated weights for sample persons 

contributing to that cell in current and prior months. The 

different months of data were combined together using 

compositing coefficients. Thus, micro-data users needed 

several months of data to compute composite estimates. 

257
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 unemployment 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 

micro-data weights, through a series of ratio adjustments, 

to agree with these composite estimates, thus incorporating 

the effect of composite estimation into the micro-data 

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 

micro-data 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 

assures additivity while allowing variation in 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 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: 

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 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. 

258
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 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 1.645 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 for 

some group 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 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 + SE2

2 ) - 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 

259
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 + SE2

2 = 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 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 

the lower bound of the range from the estimated 

unemployment rate), 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 2003 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 137,000. 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 (137,000). 

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 (14,000). 

SE = {[(137 - 100) / (200 - 100)] x (20 - 14)} + 14 

= (0.37 x 6) + 14

= 2.22 + 14

= 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-

6392. 

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.

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. Table C-2 provides the geographic 

definitions of the metropolitan areas for which data are 

published in section III. These data for metropolitan areas 

reflect the standards and definitions established by the U.S. 

Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on June 30, 

1993.1

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

Louis metropolitan statistical area was redefined to include 

the part of Sullivan City in Crawford County, MO. This 

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

this bulletin, although the addition of entire counties in 

1993 is reflected. 

Metropolitan areas

The general concept of a metropolitan area (MA) is that 

of a core area containing a large population nucleus, 

together with adjacent communities that have a high degree 

 1

 The standards were published in the Federal Register on March 

30, 1990; the definitions and a complete listing of the areas were 

published on June 30, 1993, in OMB Bulletin No. 93-17. 

of economic and social integration with that core. 

A Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) consists of one 

or more counties and meets specified size criteria—either 

it contains a city of at least 50,000 inhabitants, or it 

contains an urbanized area of at least 50,000 inhabitants 

and has a total population of at least 100,000. 

A Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA) 

is a metropolitan area that has a population of at least 1 

million and has been divided into two or more PMSAs 

(see below). The CMSA comprises the same geographic 

area as its constituent PMSAs. 

A Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area (PMSA) is a 

subarea within a CMSA. The designation of these 

subareas is based on specific criteria, including having a 

population of at least 100,000 that is at least 60-percent 

urban, and the support of local opinion. Areas that were 

designated separate metropolitan areas as of January 1, 

1980, and are now part of a larger area, are designated as 

PMSAs unless local opinion does not support their 

continued separate designation for statistical purposes. 

It is anticipated that Census 2000-based metropolitan 

area definitions will be used in Geographic Profile of 

Employment and Unemployment, 2005.
