Data Highlights Unemployment Rate


The US unemployment rate ended 2011 at 8.5 percent, down from 8.7 percent in November and 9.4 percent at the end of 2010. The overwhelming majority of states saw the same improvements. Thirtyseven states and DC saw the unemployment rate improve in December; an additional 10 states saw no increase. From one month ago, Alabama and Michigan had the biggest improvements each seeing more than a 0.5 percent drop in the unemployment rate. Since December one year ago, 46 states have had an improvement in the unemployment rate. Nevadanow at 12.6 percent from 14.9 percenthad the largest improvement in this period followed by Florida and New Mexico, each with improvements of at least 2 percent. In November, North Dakota, Nebraska, and South Dakota had the lowest unemployment ratesall under 5 percent. At the same time, 4 states and the District of Columbia had double-digit unemployment rates, compared with 7 plus DC in October.

More HighlightsPayroll Jobs and Outlook


46 states and the District of Columbia had positive job growth in the last year, and 25 states and D.C. had positive job growth in December, a time when net growth was about 200,000 jobs for the nation. The average change among states was less than in previous months. The greatest job growth in December was in South Dakota, while Nevada had the largest job decline (both as a share of previous payrolls). While unemployment rates plummeted in December, part of the story was a slackening labor force. Going forward, increasing labor force participation may keep the unemployment rate high or even push it up slightly despite the creation of new jobs. The following slides show state-level detail of unemployment rates and payroll employment.
