(EDT) Media contact: (202) 691-5902 Friday, April 18, 2008 REGIONAL AND STATE EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: MARCH 2008 Regional and state unemployment rates were generally higher in March. Overall, 36 states and the District of Columbia recorded over-the-month unemployment rate increases, 5 states registered decreases, and 9 states had no change, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Over the year, jobless rates were up in 39 states and the District of Columbia, down in 9 states, and unchanged in 2 states. The national unemployment rate was 5.1 percent in March, up from 4.8 per- cent in February and 4.4 percent in March 2007. Between February 2008 and March 2008, employment increased in 22 states, decreased in 27 states and the District of Columbia, and was unchanged in 1 state (Maine). Texas recorded the largest over-the-month increase in employment (+13,200), followed by Minnesota (+5,200), Colorado (+5,100), and Utah (+4,600). New Mexico and Utah experienced the largest over-the- month percentage increase in employment (+0.4 percent each), followed by Hawaii, Montana, and New Hampshire (+0.3 percent each), and Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Dakota, and West Virginia (+0.2 percent each). The largest over-the-month decreases in employment occurred in Michigan (-21,900), Florida (-17,400), Missouri (-10,600), North Carolina (-8,400), South Carolina (-5,400), and Nevada (-5,300). Rhode Island experienced the largest over-the-month percentage decrease in employment (-0.6 percent), followed by Michigan (-0.5 percent), Missouri and Nevada (-0.4 percent each), and Delaware, the District of Columbia, and South Carolina (-0.3 percent each). Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 39 states and the District of Columbia and decreased in 11 states. The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment occurred in Wyoming (+2.9 percent), Utah (+2.3 percent), and Texas (+2.1 per- cent). Rhode Island recorded the largest over-the-year percentage decrease in employment (-2.0 percent), followed by Michigan (-1.7 percent), Florida (-0.7 percent), and Nevada (-0.4 percent). Regional Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In March, the Midwest and West recorded the highest unemployment rates among the regions, 5.3 percent each. The South again reported the lowest rate, 4.7 percent. The West and South posted the only statistically signi- ficant rate changes from February (+0.3 and +0.2 percentage point, respec- tively). All four regions registered significant over-the-year jobless rate increases. The West had the largest rate increase (+0.8 percentage point), followed by the Northeast and South (+0.5 point each) and Midwest (+0.4 point). (See table 1.) - 2 - Among the nine geographic divisions, the Pacific reported the highest unemployment rate in March, 5.9 percent, followed closely by the East North Central at 5.8 percent. The Mountain and West South Central divisions recorded the lowest rates, 4.1 and 4.2 percent, respectively. The Pacific and South Atlantic divisions registered the only statistically significant jobless rate changes from a month earlier (+0.4 and +0.3 percentage point, respectively). Eight of the nine divisions posted significant over-the- year unemployment rate changes, all increases: the Pacific (+0.9 percentage point), South Atlantic (+0.8 point), Mountain (+0.6 point), East North Central, East South Central, and Middle Atlantic (+0.5 point each), New England (+0.4 point), and West North Central (+0.3 point). State Unemployment (Seasonally Adjusted) In March, Michigan continued to report the highest jobless rate, 7.2 percent. The states with the next highest rates were Alaska, 6.7 percent; California, 6.2 percent; Rhode Island, 6.1 percent; and Mississippi, 6.0 percent. The District of Columbia had an unemployment rate of 6.2 percent. South Dakota again posted the lowest rate, 2.5 percent, followed by Nebraska at 2.9 percent. Overall, 19 states registered unemployment rates that were significantly below the U.S. rate of 5.1 percent, 5 states and the District of Columbia recorded measurably higher rates, and 26 states had rates that were statistically little different from that of the nation. (See tables A and 3.) Twelve states reported statistically significant over-the-month jobless rate increases in March, the largest of which occurred in Louisiana (+0.8 percentage point). The remaining 38 states and the District of Columbia recorded March unemployment rates that were not appreciably different from those of a month earlier, even though some had changes that were at least as large numerically as the significant changes. (See table B.) California, Florida, Nevada, and Rhode Island reported the largest jobless rate increases from March 2007 (+1.2 percentage points each). Twenty-two addi- tional states and the District of Columbia had smaller, yet also statistically significant, rate increases. Five states registered significant over-the-year unemployment rate decreases, the largest of which occurred in Oklahoma (-1.2 percentage points). The remaining 19 states recorded jobless rates that were not appreciably different from those of a year earlier. (See table C.) Nonfarm Payroll Employment (Seasonally Adjusted) Between February 2008 and March 2008, two states experienced statistically significant changes in employment. The statistically significant decreases in employment occurred in Michigan (-21,900) and Rhode Island (-3,100). (See tables D and 5.) - 3 - Over the year, 11 states recorded statistically significant changes in em- ployment. The largest statistically significant employment gains were reported in Texas (+213,500), New York (+68,800), Washington (+53,300), North Carolina (+46,000), and Colorado (+40,400). Statistically significant over-the-year em- ployment declines were reported in Michigan (-74,200) and Rhode Island (-10,100). Two states reported statistically significant over-the-year employment increases that were less than 15,000: Nebraska (+13,200) and Wyoming (+8,400).

- 8 - Technical Note This release presents labor force and unemployment data for census regions and divisions, states, and selected substate areas from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1-4). Also presented are nonfarm payroll employment estimates by state and major industry from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program (tables 5 and 6). The LAUS and CES programs are both federal-state cooperative endeavors. Labor force and unemployment--from the LAUS program Definitions. The labor force and unemployment data are based on the same concepts and definitions as those used for the official national estimates obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a sample survey of households that is conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the U.S. Census Bureau. The labor force includes both the employed and the unemployed. Employed persons are those who did any work at all for pay or profit in the reference week (the week including the 12th of the month) or worked 15 hours or more without pay in a family business or farm, plus those not working who had a job from which they were temporarily absent, whether or not paid, for such reasons as labor-management dispute, illness, or vacation. Unemployed persons are those who did not work at all (in the reference week), had actively looked for a job (sometime in the 4-week period ending with the reference week), and were currently available for work; per- sons on layoff expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. Method of estimation. Estimates for all census divisions, states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, and New York City are produced using estimating equations based on regression techniques. This method, which underwent substantial enhance- ment at the beginning of 2005, utilizes data from several sources, including the CPS, the CES, and state unemployment insurance (UI) data. Estimates for the six other areas contained in this release use a different regression approach. A detailed description of the estimation procedures is available from BLS upon request. Estimates for census regions are obtained by summing the model-based estimates for the component divisions and then calculating the unemployment rate. Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data shown for the prior year reflect adjustments made at the end of each year, usually implemented with January estimates. The adjusted estimates reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources, and model reestimation. Seasonal adjustment. Seasonal adjustment of census division, state, and substate area model employment and unemployment levels is performed within the modeling procedure. The model estimation is based on the classical ap- proach to seasonal adjustment, in which the series is decomposed into trend, seasonal, irregular, and survey error. This directly yields seasonally ad- justed estimates for employment and unemployment levels with reliability measures. Labor force levels and unemployment rates are calculated from these two estimates. Additionally, measures for the state of California are derived by summing the seasonally adjusted estimates for the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division and the balance of California, and the estimates for the state of New York are the sum of the estimates for New York City and the balance of New York. Labor force estimates for census regions are calculated as the sum of the levels of the component divisions, and the unemployment rate is then calculated. In most years, historical data for the most recent 5 years are revised near the beginning of each calendar year, usually coincident with the release of January estimates. Area definitions. The substate area data published in this release reflect the standards and definitions established by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget on November 20, 2007. A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm. - 9 - Employment--from the CES program Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay period that includes the 12th of the month. Persons are counted at their place of work rather than at their place of residence; those appearing on more than one payroll are counted on each payroll. Industries are classified on the basis of their principal activity in accordance with the 2007 version of the North American Industry Classification System. Method of estimation. The employment data are estimated using a "link relative" technique in which a ratio (link relative) of current-month em- ployment to that of the previous month is computed from a sample of estab- lishments reporting for both months. The estimates of employment for the current month are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these ratios. Small-domain models are used as the official esti- mators for the approximately 39 percent of CES published series which have insufficient sample for direct sample-based estimates. Annual revisions. Employment estimates are adjusted annually to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived principally from tax reports that are submitted by employers who are covered under state unemployment insurance (UI) laws. The benchmark information is used to adjust the monthly estimates between the new benchmark and the preceding one and also to establish the level of employment for the new benchmark month. Thus, the benchmarking process establishes the level of employment, and the sample is used to measure the month-to-month changes in the level for the subsequent months. Seasonal adjustment. Payroll employment data are seasonally adjusted at the statewide supersector level. In some states, the seasonally adjusted payroll employment total is computed by aggregating the independently ad- justed supersector series. In other states, the seasonally adjusted pay- roll employment total is independently adjusted. Revisions of historical data for the most recent 5 years are made once a year, coincident with annual benchmark adjustments. Caution on aggregating state data. State estimation procedures are designed to produce accurate data for each individual state. BLS inde- pendently develops a national employment series; state estimates are not forced to sum to national totals. Because each state series is subject to larger sampling and nonsampling errors than the national series, summing them cumulates individual state level errors and can cause significant dis- tortions at an aggregate level. Due to these statistical limitations, BLS does not compile a "sum-of-states" employment series, and cautions users that such a series is subject to a relatively large and volatile error structure. Reliability of the estimates The estimates presented in this release are based on sample survey, ad- ministrative data, and modeling and, thus, are subject to sampling and other types of errors. Sampling error is a measure of sampling variability--that is, variation that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire population is surveyed. Survey data also are subject to nonsampling errors, such as those which can be introduced into the data collection and processing operations. Estimates not directly derived from sample surveys are subject to additional errors resulting from the specific estimation processes used. The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals shown in the same tables because of rounding. With respect to the LAUS program, unem- ployment rates are computed from unrounded data rather than from data that may be displayed in the tables; differences, however, are generally insig- nificant. - 10 - Use of error measures. In 2005, the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program introduced several improvements to its methodology. Among these was the development of model-based error measures for the monthly estimates and the estimates of over-the-month changes. The introductory section of this release preserves the long-time practice of highlighting the direction of the movements in regional and state unemployment rates and state nonfarm payroll employment regardless of their statistical sig- nificance. The remainder of the analysis in the release takes the statis- tical significance of monthly and annual changes into consideration. Labor force and unemployment estimates. Model-based error measures for both seasonally adjusted and not seasonally adjusted data, and for over-the- month change, are available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/lau/ lastderr.htm. BLS uses a 90-percent confidence level in determining whether changes in LAUS unemployment rates are statistically significant. The average magnitude of the over-the-month change in a state unemployment rate that is required in order to be statistically significant at the 90-percent confidence level is between 0.3 and 0.4 percentage point. More details can be found on the Web site. Measures of nonsampling error are not available, but additional information on the subject is provided in Employment and Earnings Online at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ee/home.htm. Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error for state CES data at the total nonfarm and supersector level and for metropolitan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/ sae/790stderr.htm. BLS uses a 90-percent confidence level in determining whether changes in CES employment levels are statistically significant. In- formation on recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/sae/. Additional information More complete information on the technical procedures used to develop these estimates and additional data appear in Employment and Earnings On- line. Estimates of labor force and unemployment, as well as nonfarm employment from the CES program, for over 300 metropolitan areas and metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs) are available in the news release, Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment. Estimates of labor force, employment, and unemployment for all states, metropolitan areas, labor mar- ket areas, counties, cities with a population of 25,000 or more, and other areas used in the administration of various federal economic assistance pro- grams are available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/lau/. Employ- ment data from the CES program are available at http://www.bls.gov/sae/. Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request.
