Transcript of State Employment Trends: May 2011 Data
State Employment Trends
May 2011 data; released June 2011National Association of REALTORS®Research DivisionCompilation of Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
Data Highlights
• The US unemployment rate increased slightly from 9.0 percent in April to 9.1 percent in May but is down 0.5 percent from a year ago.
• 43 states and DC saw a decline in the unemployment rate in the last year while 24 states saw a decline in the unemployment rate in this month with New Mexico, Nevada, and Oklahoma seeing the largest falls. The unemployment rate was unchanged in 13 states in May.
• In May, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, and South Dakota had the lowest unemployment rates—all under 5 percent. At the same time, 7 states had double-digit unemployment rates.
More Highlights and Outlook
• While 39 states had positive job growth in the last year, only 22 had positive job growth in May and the average change was a slight decline—less than the historic average of national payroll job growth each month of 0.1% to 0.2%.
• The greatest job growth in May was in Wyoming while Alaska had the largest job decline (as a share of previous payrolls).
• Moving forward, increasing labor force participation may keep the unemployment rate high even as jobs are being added.
• The following slides show state-level detail of unemployment rates and payroll employment.
