Bulletin 2748
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 2009 annual averages from the 

CPS for census regions and divisions; the 50 States and 

the District of Columbia; and 54 large metropolitan areas, 

22 metropolitan divisions, and 41 principal cities. Data 

from the CPS differ from the official estimates produced 

by the individual States through the LAUS program. CPS 

estimates are provided herein because they are a current 

source of information on the demographic and economic 

characteristics of the labor force in subnational areas, 

from the same source as the official labor force data for 

the U.S. as a whole. 

Tables 1 through 13 present 2009 annual average

labor force estimates for census regions and divisions. 

Similar information for all States and the District of 

Columbia appears in tables 14 through 26. All of these 

data reflect Census 2000-based population controls. 

Tables 27 through 32 display 2009 annual average

rates, ratios, and percent distributions from the CPS for 

selected metropolitan areas, metropolitan divisions, and 

cities. Levels for the various labor force categories are not

presented, because independent census-based population

controls are not available below the State level.

Geographic definitions for the metropolitan areas 

and metropolitan divisions appearing in this publication 

reflect those first issued by the Office of Management and 

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

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

Definitions and Guidance on Their Uses, dated November 

20, 2008. (See appendix C.) 

The data in this bulletin reflect revisions to the 

standards for classification of Federal data by race and 

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

Estimates for the White, Black or African American, and

Asian race groups are based on the persons who reported 

only one of those race groups. Persons who reported 

another race group or two or more races are not included 

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

Persons whose ethnicity was identified as Hispanic or 

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

by ethnicity, as well as by race. 

Tables displaying occupation and industry data 

reflect the coding systems used for those data in Census 

2000. 

This bulletin was prepared in the BLS Office of 

Employment and Unemployment Statistics by the 

Division of Local Area Unemployment Statistics in 

collaboration with the Division of Data Development and 

Publications. Editorial assistance was provided by the 

Office of Publications and Special Studies.

Geographic Profile of Employment 

and Unemployment, 2009

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, metropolitan divisions, 

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

not provided in section III, because population controls 

needed to make estimates of levels comparable with those 

in the other sections of this publication are not available. 

Because the estimates are based on a survey rather 

than on a complete census of the population, they are 

subject to sampling error. Consequently, error ranges 

have been calculated in the form of 90-percent confidence 

intervals and displayed for the unemployment rates in the 

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

provides tables from which the sampling error ranges can 

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

Separate error tables are not provided for each population 

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

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

table is used for all population groups for a given labor 

force characteristic, because differences in sampling 

errors are usually minimal.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

controls.

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

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

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

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

for working part time.

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

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

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

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

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

updated Census 2000-based population controls.

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.

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

American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data for other race groups are

not shown. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino

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

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

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

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

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

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

2000-based population controls.

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

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

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

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

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

updated Census 2000-based population controls.

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

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

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

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

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

updated Census 2000-based population controls.

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

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

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

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

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

cases is very small or the unemployment rate is too low. 3 Fewer than 500 persons or less than 0.05 percent.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

controls.

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

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

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

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

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

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

the sample size. (See appendix B.)

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

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

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

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

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

updated Census 2000-based population controls.

 NOTE: Totals for summary groups published include other occupations not

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

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

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

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

as well as by race.

 NOTE: Totals for summary groups published include other

industries not shown separately. Estimates for the race groups

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

not sum to totals because data for other race groups are not

shown. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as

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

by ethnicity as well as by race.

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

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

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

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

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

updated Census 2000-based population controls.

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

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

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

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

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

Data incorporate updated Census 2000-based population controls.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2000-based population controls.

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

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

and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all

races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or

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

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

population controls.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Census 2000-based population controls.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

population controls.

1 Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence

interval, which means that if repeated samples were drawn from

the same population and an error range constructed around each

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

census of the population would be contained within these error

ranges. 2 Error ranges cannot be properly computed when the number

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

Budget definition. (See appendix C.) 4 Less than 0.05 percent.

 NOTE: Data are not shown when the labor force base does not

meet the BLS publication standard of reliability for the area in

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

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, employment, 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 levels, but it 

generally does not affect percentages, such as 

unemployment rates, labor force participation rates, or 

employment-population ratios. Thus, levels contained in 

this publication may not be comparable with levels 

published prior to or after 2009 in Geographic Profile of 

Employment and Unemployment. 

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) worked for least 1 hour as paid 

employees, in their own business or profession, or on their 

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

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

were not working but had jobs or businesses from which 

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

weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, 

or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they 

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

Unemployed persons. Those in this category are all persons 

who had no employment during the reference week, were 

available for work—except for temporary illness—and 

made specific efforts to find employment 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 who were laid off, duration of unemployment 

represents the number of full weeks they had been on 

layoff. 

Reason for unemployment. Unemployment is categorized 

according to the status of individuals at the time they 

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

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

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

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

expect to return within 6 months (persons on layoff need 

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

(b) permanent job losers, whose employment ended 

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

leavers, who quit or otherwise terminated their 

employment voluntarily and immediately began looking 

for work; (3) persons who completed temporary jobs

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

began looking for work after their temporary jobs ended; 

(4) re-entrants, who previously worked but were out of 

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

new entrants, who have never worked. 

Labor force. This group comprises all persons classified 

as employed or unemployed in accordance with the 

criteria described earlier. 

Unemployment rate. The unemployment rate represents 

the number of unemployed persons 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. 

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

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

in the same household, even if one is temporarily absent 

T

312
on business, on vacation, on a visit, in a hospital, etc. A 

family is defined as a group of two or more persons 

residing together who are related by birth, marriage, or 

adoption; all such persons are considered as members of 

one family. Families are classified either as married-couple 

families or as families maintained by women or men 

without spouses. A family maintained by a woman or a 

man is defined as one in which the householder is either 

single, widowed, divorced, or married with the spouse 

absent. 

Occupation and industry. This information regarding the 

employed applies to the job held in the reference week. 

Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job at 

which they work the greatest number of hours. The 

unemployed are classified according to their last job. The 

occupation and industry classification of CPS data is based 

on the coding systems used in Census 2000. 

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

workers to the following categories: private and 

government wage and salary workers, self-employed 

workers, and unpaid family workers. Wage and salary 

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

kind from a private employer or from a government unit. 

Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or 

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

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

incorporated are included among wage and salary workers 

because, technically, they are paid employees of a 

corporation. Unpaid family workers are persons working 

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

business operated by a member of the household to whom 

they are related by birth or marriage. 

Hours of work. These statistics relate to the actual number 

of hours worked during the reference week. For example, 

persons who normally work 40 hours a week but were off 

on the Columbus Day holiday would be reported as 

working 32 hours, even though they were paid for the 

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

figures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs 

during the week; 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 give an economic reason for working 1 

to 34 hours during the reference week. Economic reasons 

include unfavorable business conditions, inability to find 

full-time work, and seasonal declines in demand. Those 

who usually work part time must indicate that they want 

and are available to work full time in order to be classified 

as part time for economic reasons. 

At work part time for noneconomic reasons. This group 

includes those persons who usually work part time and 

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

a noneconomic reason. Some examples of noneconomic 

reasons are the following: illness or other medical 

limitations, childcare problems or other family or personal 

obligations, school or training, retirement or Social 

Security limits on earnings, and being in a job in which 

full-time work is less than 35 hours. The group also 

includes those who give an economic reason for usually 

working 1 to 34 hours but say they do not want to work 

full time or are unavailable for such work. 

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

exclude persons who were temporarily absent from a job 

and are therefore classified into the zero-hours-worked 

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

who were absent from their jobs for the entire reference 

week for such reasons as bad weather, childcare 

problems, maternity or paternity leave, vacation, illness, 

or involvement in a labor dispute. In order to differentiate 

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

the reference week, persons also are classified according 

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

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

temporarily absent from work. 

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

These are terms used to describe the race of persons. 

Included in the “other” group are persons classified as 

American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN), as Native 

Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander (NHPI), as some 

other race (SOR), and within two or more race categories. 

Because of the relatively small sample size in most areas, 

data for “other” races are not published at this time. In the 

enumeration process, race is determined by the household 

respondent. 

Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. This refers to persons who 

identified themselves in the survey enumeration process 

as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South 

American, or of other Hispanic or Latino ethnicity or 

descent. Persons of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity may be 

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

African American, and Asian population groups.

Sampling and Estimation 

Procedures and Sampling 

Error Tables 

he estimates presented in this bulletin are based on

annual averages of monthly data obtained from the 

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

civilian noninstitutional population. The survey, conducted 

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

of Labor Statistics, provides comprehensive data on the 

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

Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, marital status, occupation, 

and industry. The survey also provides data on the 

characteristics of those not in the labor force. 

Each month, trained interviewers collect information 

from a scientifically selected sample of about 60,000 

eligible households. This sample, designed to represent the 

civilian noninstitutional population, includes about 10,000 

households beyond the 50,000 in the regular CPS sample 

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

Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) legislation. The SCHIP 

legislation required the Census Bureau to improve State 

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

are obtained from the Annual Demographic Supplement to 

the CPS. In September 2000, the Census Bureau began 

expanding the monthly CPS sample in 31 States and the 

District of Columbia because of the SCHIP legislation.

Selected respondents in the 60,000 eligible households 

are interviewed to obtain information about the 

employment status of each household member 16 years of 

age and 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 2009 sample encompasses 824 sample areas, with 

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

based, to a large extent, on information about the 

distribution of the population as reported in the Census 

2000 enumeration. (A redesigned Census 2000-based 

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

The 824 areas were selected by dividing the entire area of 

the United States into 2,025 primary sampling units 

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

county or a number of contiguous counties. Most 

metropolitan areas constitute separate PSUs. 

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

PSUs are grouped into strata within each State. Those 

PSUs which are in a stratum by themselves are called 

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

each State. Other strata are formed by combining PSUs 

that are similar in such characteristics as population 

growth, proportion of Blacks and Hispanics, and

distributions by occupation and industry and by age and

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

entire stratum. One PSU is selected from each stratum, 

with the probability of selection proportionate to the 

relative population size of the PSU. 

In States with a SCHIP sample, the self-representing 

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

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

PSUs are in the sample for both the regular CPS and 

SCHIP; however, to improve the reliability of the SCHIP 

estimates in Maine, Maryland, and Nevada, the SCHIP 

non-self-representing PSUs are selected independent of 

the regular CPS sample PSUs, with replacement. The 

method for stratification of PSUs for SCHIP in these 

States is similar to that of the other stratifications, except 

that the stratification variable used is the number of 

people under age 18 with household income below twice 

the poverty level. 

Within each of the selected PSUs, the number of 

households to be enumerated each month is determined in 

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

districts (EDs) is selected through the use of the 

population size probability selection procedure. EDs are 

administrative units and contain, on average, about 300 

households. Second, clusters of approximately four 

addresses (contiguous wherever possible) are selected to 

be enumerated within each designated ED. 

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

A given rotation group is in the sample for 4 consecutive 

months, leaves the sample 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 

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. 

T

314
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 respondent by the inverse of the 

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

rough measure of the number of actual persons that each 

sample person represents. Through a series of estimation 

steps (outlined 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 the population characteristics. This is 

accomplished through four stages of adjustment, as 

follows: 

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

variance of the sample State-level estimates arising from 

the sampling of PSUs. (There would still be variance 

associated with the State-level estimates even if the survey 

included all households in every sample PSU.) This kind 

of variance is called between-PSU variance. For some 

States, the between-PSU variance makes up a relatively 

large proportion of the total variance, whereas the relative 

contribution of the between-PSU variance at the national 

level is generally quite small. There are several factors to 

be considered in determining what information to use in 

applying the first-stage adjustment. The information must 

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

the relevant statistics from the CPS as possible, and be 

reasonably stable over time so that the gain from the ratio 

adjustment procedure does not deteriorate. The basic 

labor force categories (unemployed, nonagricultural 

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

probably would fail the stability criterion. The distribution 

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

alone) by age groups 0–15 and 16+ satisfies all three 

criteria, including stability. 

 The use of the Black alone and 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 self-representing (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 nonBlack alone cells are collapsed within a State whena 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 

beginning in 2003. The purpose of the national coverage 

adjustment is to correct for interactions between race and 

ethnicity that are not addressed in the second-stage 

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

shown that the undercoverage of certain race-ethnicity 

combinations (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 required to reach the final national 

controls. The national coverage adjustment factors are 

based on independently derived estimates of the 

population. Person records are grouped into four pairs on 

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

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

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

controls: between 2 and 28 age cells are used, depending 

on which of the six major coverage groups (Black alone

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

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

adjusted. 

c. State coverage adjustment. In addition to a national 

coverage adjustment, a State coverage adjustment also 

was added to the CPS weighting process beginning in 

2003. The purpose of the State coverage adjustment is to 

 

1

 The four sampling criteria are the following: (1) that the 

adjustment factor be greater than 1.3; (2) that the adjustment factor 

be less than 1/1.3 (or 0.769230 in decimal form); (3) that there be 

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

fewer than 10 expected interviews in an age/race cell in the State. 

315
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 and 5, 2 and 6, 3 and 7, and 4 and 8) used as in 

the national coverage adjustment. Person records for Black

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

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

the sample combined. For the Black alone component of

the adjustment, States are adjusted by use of a varying 

number of age/sex/race cells based on the expected number 

of sample records in each age/sex cell. For example, for 

non-Black alone, all States except the District of Columbia

are adjusted for three age groupings (0–15, 16–44, and 

45+) 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-insample pair to control the sample estimates for a number of 

geographic and demographic subgroups of the population 

in order to ensure that these sample-based estimates of the 

population match independent population controls for each 

of the categories. These independent population controls 

are updated each month. Three sets of controls are used: 

(1) the civilian noninstitutional population for the 50 States 

and the District of Columbia by sex and age (0–15, 16–44, 

and 45+); (2) the national civilian noninstitutional 

population for 36 Hispanic and 36 non-Hispanic age-sex 

categories; and (3) the total national civilian 

noninstitutional population for 56 White, 36 Black, and 26

residual race/age/sex categories. 

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

Because adjusting the weights to match one set of controls 

can cause differences in other controls, an iterative process 

is used to simultaneously control all variables. Successive 

iterations begin with the weights as adjusted by all 

previous iterations. A total of 10 iterations are performed, 

which results in (virtual) consistency between the sample 

estimates and the population controls. 

The independent population controls used for the CPS 

are produced by the Census Bureau’s Population 

Division. The CPS population controls are based on a 

demographic framework of population accounting. Under 

this framework, time series of population estimates and 

projections are anchored by the latest decennial census 

enumerations, with populations for dates since the latest 

decennial census derived from the estimation, or 

projection, of population change. In the simplest terms, 

estimates of population change are derived by adjusting 

the resident population as enumerated in the latest 

decennial census for births, deaths, and net migration, 

using information from a variety of data sources. 

Estimates of the resident population are adjusted to 

represent the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years 

of age and 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 who are 

institutionalized. 

3. Composite estimation procedure. The last step in the 

preparation of most CPS estimates makes use of a 

composite estimation procedure. The composite estimate 

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

second-stage ratio estimate based on the entire sample 

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

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

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

added to the weighted average to account for relative bias 

associated with month-in-sample estimates. The 

compositing procedure results in a further reduction in 

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

achieved after the two stages of ratio adjustment. 

Effective with the release of January 1998 data, BLS 

implemented a new composite estimation method for the 

CPS. The new technique provides increased operational 

simplicity for microdata users and allows optimization of 

compositing coefficients for different labor force 

categories. Under the new procedure, weights are derived 

for each record. These weights, when aggregated, produce 

estimates consistent with those produced by the 

composite estimator. Under the previous procedure, 

composite estimation was performed at the macro level. 

The composite estimator for each tabulated cell was a 

function of the aggregated weights for respondents 

contributing to the cell in question in current and prior 

months. The different months of data were combined by 

use of compositing coefficients. Thus, microdata users 

needed several months of data to compute composite 

estimates. To ensure consistency, the same coefficients 

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

316
coefficients selected were much closer to optimal for 

unemployment values than for employment or labor force 

values. 

The new composite weighting method involves two 

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

main labor force categories, classified by important 

demographic characteristics, and (2) the adjustment of the 

microdata weights, through a series of ratio adjustments, to 

agree with these composite estimates, thus incorporating 

the effect of composite estimation into the microdata 

weights. Under this procedure, the sum of the composite 

weights of all sample persons in a particular labor force 

category equals the composite estimate of the level for that 

category. Thus, to produce a composite estimate for a 

particular month, a data user needs simply to access the 

microdata file for that (single) month and compute a 

weighted sum. The new composite weighting approach 

also improves the accuracy of labor force estimates by 

using different compositing coefficients for different labor 

force categories. The weighting adjustment method 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. Tables 

B-2 through B-5 (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 which would include the average result of all 

possible samples with a known probability. For example, if 

all possible samples were selected, each of these samples 

were surveyed under essentially the same conditions by use 

of the same sample design, and an estimate and its 

estimated standard error were calculated from each sample, 

then the following would occur: 

1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals 

from 1 standard error below the estimate to 1 

standard error above the estimate would 

include the average result of all possible 

samples. 

2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals 

from 1.645 standard errors below the estimate 

to 1.645 standard errors above the estimate 

would include the average result of all 

possible samples. 

3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals 

from 2 standard errors below the estimate to 

2 standard errors above the estimate would 

include the average result of all possible 

samples. 

The error of a sample estimate varies inversely with 

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

estimate. Hence, an estimate for a subgroup constituting a 

small proportion of a population will tend to have a larger 

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

subgroup. 

Reliability standards 

The CPS sample design takes into consideration both 

national and State reliability. For the State data, a 

minimum reliability standard is set: an expected 

maximum coefficient of variation (CV) on the level of 

total unemployment of 8 percent annually. This is 

calculated with the assumption of a 6-percent 

unemployment rate. Because each State's sample design 

must meet the reliability standard, the CPS sampling rate 

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

households that are selected for the sample.) Generally, 

the smaller the State population, the higher is the 

sampling rate. The average State sampling rates range 

roughly from 1 in every 200 households to 1 in every 

2,500 households in each stratum within the State. 

Publication standards for State and area CPS data 

To achieve comparability of the data for regions, 

divisions, States, metropolitan areas, and cities for 

publication purposes, a unique requirement for minimum 

levels for the labor force and for employment and 

unemployment was developed for each area. This 

requirement is based on the known differences in 

sampling rates among these areas. Before estimates are 

published for a specific category (such as Hispanic 

unemployment in a particular State), a predetermined 

“critical cell” must meet a 50-percent CV requirement. As 

a result of this requirement, minimum bases for 

publication have been developed for each area. Table B-1 

lists the minimum necessary base for publication of data 

in each of the regions, divisions, States, in the District of 

Columbia, and in each of the 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 number of employed and unemployed, 

publishability is determined by whether the labor force 

level exceeds the minimum base for unemployment in 

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

unemployment minimum base, all data—labor force, 

317
employment, unemployment, and unemployment—are 

suppressed. In all other tables, the determining factor is 

whether the size of the base of the distribution exceeds the 

minimum base for employment or unemployment 

separately, depending on whether the table presents a 

distribution of employment or unemployment for the area 

or population subgroup. For example, in the table showing 

percent distribution of unemployed persons by reason for 

unemployment, the entire line of data will be suppressed if 

the total unemployment is less than the minimum base for 

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

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

if the total for the reason in question does not meet the 

minimum base. Data are not published for any cell with a 

level of fewer than 500 persons or less than 0.05 percent of 

the total for a given characteristic. 

Using the sampling error tables 

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. The sampling errors provided are 

approximations and thus indicate the order of magnitude of 

the sampling error rather than the precise amount of the 

possible error in an estimate. Illustrations on the use of 

these tables are provided next. In all cases, the 

computations present the estimated levels in thousands of 

persons. 

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

that an estimate of 50,000 unemployed persons in 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 a 

particular 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 statement can be interpreted as follows: if one 

were to draw all possible samples, make an estimate from 

each sample (using the same methods and techniques), and 

construct an interval around each estimate (with the 

sampling errors shown in the tables), then 90 percent of the 

intervals would contain the average value of all possible 

samples. 

To convert a sampling error from 90-percent 

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

confidence (1 standard error), multiply the sampling error 

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

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

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

the example given above, the sampling error at 90-percent 

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

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

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

1.23). 

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

difference from the tables, an additional step is required. 

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

the unemployment rate from one year to the next in a 

particular area for a particular population group is 

statistically significant, or whether the difference in the 

unemployment rate between two areas or population 

groups is statistically meaningful, the significance of the 

difference needs to be computed. (Differences between 

estimates for 2 consecutive years may be influenced to 

some extent by a redesign of the CPS concepts, 

questionnaire, and collection procedures, such as the one 

that occurred in 1994.) 

As noted 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 with the following 

formula, noting the limiting covariance assumption 

discussed later: 

 SEd = [( SE1

2

 + SE2

2

 ) – 2C( SE1 × SE2 )] 1/2, 

 where

 SEd = the sampling error of the difference, 

 SE1 = the sampling error of one group or year, 

 SE2 = the sampling error of another group or year, 

and 

 C = the covariance (or relationship) term. 

The values of SE1 and SE2 can be found in the

appropriate table of Geographic Profile for each year if 

the comparison is between different years, because the 

size of the samples and, consequently, sampling errors 

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

or “C” term, for employment and unemployment for 

differences between consecutive years are as follows: for 

labor force or employment levels, C = 0.58; for 

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

note that these C terms are usable only for calculating the 

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

for the same geographic area and population group.

Covariance terms for the relationship between 

different population groups or geographic areas in this 

bulletin are not available. 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 that (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, and (2) if there is a strong 

positive relationship between the two groups, areas, or 

years (differences for consecutive years), then the error 

318
computed without a C term will be overstated. An 

overstatement could lead one to erroneously state that a 

difference or change was not statistically significant when, 

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

time for a characteristic such as employment (people tend 

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

importance of using a C term when calculating the 

sampling error of a difference over time increases greatly.

The next example illustrates how to calculate a 

sampling error of a difference. Suppose one wished to 

know whether a hypothetical difference between 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 21,000 and the error for an 

unemployment level of 200,000 in New York as 19,000.

Using the formula described previously without the C term 

produces the following results: 

 SE1 = 21; SE2 = 19

 SE1

2

 + SE2

2

 = 802

 SEd = ( SE1

2

 + SE2

2

 )1/2 = 28 

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 28,000. Because the actual 

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

difference, it can be stated, with 90-percent confidence, 

that the difference in the unemployment level is 

attributable to factors other than sampling variability alone. 

Sampling errors for unemployment rates. Unemployment 

rates and error ranges for these rates are provided in tables 

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

sampling error for an unemployment rate if one is needed. 

The error range is a 90-percent confidence interval around 

the unemployment rate. By subtracting the estimated 

unemployment rate from the upper bound of the range (or 

subtracting the lower bound of the range from the 

estimated unemployment rate), the sampling error for the 

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

in the formula given previously for computing the 

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

user chooses. 

Interpolation and extrapolation. Although sampling errors 

are listed for selected levels of employment and 

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

to know the sampling error for an estimate whose value is 

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

to use interpolation or extrapolation. 

 

For example, in order to derive the sampling error for

the 2009 total unemployment level for women in Ohio, it 

is necessary to use interpolation because table B-5 

contains no sampling error for an unemployment level 

estimate of 175,000. The following formula and 

accompanying example show how to interpolate for this 

estimate: 

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

 where 

SE = the sampling error for the estimated value, 

A = the estimated value (175,000), 

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

 the estimated value, 

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

 the estimated value, 

X = the sampling error of F (20,000), 

Y = the sampling error of G (14,000), and 

SE = {[(175 – 100) / (200 – 100)] × (20 – 14)} + 14 

= (0.75 × 6) + 14 

= 4.5 + 14 

≈ 19

If the sample-based estimate lies outside the 

boundaries of the error tables, extrapolation can be used 

to approximate the sampling error. The formula for 

extrapolation is the same as that for interpolation; 

however, the “F” term becomes the highest value in the 

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

Derivation of sampling errors

The State and area sampling errors are developed with a 

generalized regression procedure and are not based on 

sample data for each individual area, population group, or 

labor force characteristic. As with all sampling error 

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

approximations are required in order to derive sampling 

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

these sampling errors indicate the order of magnitude of 

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

The sampling error tables are derived from standard error 

equations and special parameters developed by the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics. These parameters are available 

upon request from the Division of Local Area 

Unemployment Statistics, Room 4675, 2 Massachusetts 

Avenue NE, Washington, DC 20212-0001. Telephone: 

(202) 691–6392. 

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

pertaining to any race or ethnic group whose data are 

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

generalized regression procedure and are approximate. 

Generally, the degree of precision in these tables is 

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

ethnic groups) than it is for Blacks or Hispanics.

Appendix C. 

Geographic Boundary 

Definitions 

able C-1 of this appendix lists the States composing 

the census regions and divisions for which data are 

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

geographic boundary definitions of the metropolitan areas 

and metropolitan divisions, respectively, for which data are 

published in section III. The information for metropolitan 

areas and metropolitan divisions reflects the standards and 

definitions established by the U.S. Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) on June 6, 2003.1

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

Louis metropolitan area was redefined to include the part 

of Sullivan city in Crawford County, Missouri. This 

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

this bulletin, although the addition of entire counties in 

2003 is reflected. 

Metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions 

The general concept of a metropolitan area is that of a 

core area containing a large population nucleus, together 

with adjacent communities that have a high degree of 

economic and social integration with that core. 

 

1

 The standards were published in the Federal Register on December 

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

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

appearing in this bulletin reflect updates per OMB Bulletin No. 09-

01, Update of Statistical Area Definitions and Guidance on Their 

Uses, dated November 20, 2008. 

A Metropolitan Statistical Area consists of at least one 

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

The Metropolitan Statistical Area comprises the central 

county or counties containing the urbanized area core, 

plus adjacent outlying counties having a high degree of 

social and economic integration with the central county or 

counties, as measured through commuting ties. 

A Metropolitan Division is essentially a separately 

identifiable employment center within a very large 

Metropolitan Statistical Area (one with a core population 

of 2.5 million or more). The Metropolitan Division 

consists of one or more main or secondary counties that 

represent an employment center, plus adjacent counties 

associated with the main or secondary county or counties 

through the strongest commuting ties. 

The data published in section III reflect New England 

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

county-based Metropolitan Statistical Area and 

Metropolitan Division definitions, in the six New England 

States. In previous decades, the statistical areas that OMB 

defined for the New England States were city and town 

based, with county-based areas specified as an alternative 

for users seeking a comparable geographic basis. For the 

current definitions, all Metropolitan Statistical Areas and 

Metropolitan Divisions are county-based, with NECTAs 

serving as an equivalent alternative for the New England 

States.
