Unemployment Insurance Data Summary
The UI Data Summary is produced quarterly from state-reported data contained in the
Unemployment Insurance Data Base (UIDB) as well as UI-related data from outside sources
(e.g., Bureau of Labor Statistics data on employment and unemployment and U.S. Department of
Treasury data on state UI trust fund activities). This data base is maintained by the Division of
Actuarial Services, Office of Income Support (OIS), U.S. Department of Labor.
This report is intended to provide the user with a quick overview of the status of the UI system at
the national and state levels. Tables are provided for each state and many data items are repeated
on summary tables which show all states together. The glossary
gives the definition of each data item in the report. Except for recipiency rates, UCFE and UCX data
is not included. Except for covered employment and wage data, which have a reporting/processing lag, all the data refers to the same
quarter. This quarter is shown on the front cover and is also the first column heading on each
individual state page. The year and quarter are indicated by the notation CYyyyy.q (e.g.
CY1995.4). For many data items, the report shows -- in addition to the latest quarter -- data for
the latest twelve months, the highest and lowest quarters historically, and the state's rank among
all states. If a state has failed to report for a particular time period, estimated data are used;
however, if the time period extends too far for reasonable estimates, blanks are displayed
instead.
