NOT E : #N/A' indicates that data are not available at this time.

* The insured unemployment rate (IUR) is based on a ratio of a 13-week moving average of weeks of unemployment insurancebenefits claimed divided by a 12-month moving average of covered employment. This ratio is used to trigger "on" and "off" of the average of the rates for the last two years, this triggers the federal extended benefits program to "on." This program

allows Individuals to receive additional unemployment benefits when they exhaust their regular benefit awards.

** The disbursements on the UI Fund Table reflect checks issued to claimants. The actual cash balance in the fund at any time is

larger than the UI Fund Table Balance, due to the time lag in which these checks are actually redeemed.

GLOSSARY

Current Population Survey (CPS) or “Household Survey”. The monthly survey of households from which are derived estimates of

civilian labor force, employment, unemployment, and unemployment rate for Los Angeles County and the Balance of California. The

CPS is a stratified random sample conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Employment, Civilian. As measured by the Current Population Survey (CPS), consists of civilian or noninstitutional workers 16

years of age and older who (a) during the survey week, worked as paid employees, or in their own business or farm or profession, or who

worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in a family enterprise, and (b) were not working but who had jobs or businesses from which

they were temporarily absent because of illness, inclement weather, vacation, work stoppage or labor management dispute, or personal

reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time-off.

Hispanic. An ethnic classification that includes persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, or any other nationality based on the

Spanish cultures or languages; persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race.

Hours of Work. The number of hours worked during the survey week. Persons who worked at least 35 hours during the survey

week are designated as full-time; persons who worked less than 35 hours are considered part-time.

Labor Force, Civilian. Those individuals, 16 years of age and older, who were working or actively seeking work during the

survey week; also, the aggregration of civilian employment and civilian unemployment.

Labor Force Participation Rate. The civilian labor force expressed as a percentage of the civilian noninstitutional population.

Nonfarm (Nonagricultural) Wage and Salary Employment. The count of all full-time and part-time employees (including employees

on paid vacation or paid sick leave), by industry, who worked in or received compensation from nonfarm establishments for any part of

the pay period including the 12th of the month; employees involved in labor management disputes are not included. Hours and earnings

data by industry are also collected as part of this survey.

Population, Civilian. As defined by the Current Population Survey (CPS), includes persons 16 years of age and older who

reside in the 50 United States, and are not institutionalized or on active duty in the Armed Forces.

Race. The Current Population Survey (CPS) requests the respondent to identify the race of all members of the household, 16

years of age and older. The three racial categories identified on the survey instrument are White, Black, and Other.

Black - A racial classification for persons with origins related to any of the black racial groups of Africa.

Other - The “Other” racial group includes Asians and Pacific Islanders, as well as native americans such as American Indians and

Alaskan Natives.

White - A racial classification for persons with origins related to any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa, or the Middle East.

Seasonal Adjustment. The removal of the effects of regular periodic events such as weather conditions, holidays, and school

schedules from labor force and payroll employment data. The X-12 ARIMA is the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) recommended

seasonal adjustment program used to seasonally adjust these time series data.

Survey Week. Refers to the week, each month, that includes the 12th during which the Current Population Survey (CPS) is

conducted.

Unemployment, Civilian. Comprised of noninstitutionalized civilians who did not work but made specific efforts to find a job

within the past four weeks and were available for work (except for temporary illness) during the survey week. Also included as

unemployed are those who did not work but were available for work and (a) were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been

laid off or

(b) waiting to begin a new job within thirty days. (See also Unemployment, Duration of and Reasons for.)

Unemployment, Duration of. The length of time (including the current survey week) during which they have been classified as

unemployed and looking for work. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of weeks since the

termination of their most recent employment.

Unemployment, Reasons for. The unemployed are classified into one of four major groups:

Job losers - Persons whose employment ended involuntarily and who immediately began looking for work.

Job leavers - Persons who quit their job or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily and immediately began looking for

work.

Re-entrants - Persons who worked previously but have been out of the labor force for a period of time before actively seeking work

again.

New entrants - Persons who are seeking employment for the first time (i.e., they have never previously held a job).

Unemployment Rate. The number of unemployed individuals expressed as a percentage of the civilian labor force.

NOTE TO OUR READERS:

The Employment Development Department’s Labor Market Information Division (LMID) collects the labor market information presented in this report on a monthly basis, as an agent for the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

Information presented is derived from BLS labor force models, Current Population Survey (CPS), Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS), or the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey.

The CPS measures levels of employment and unemployment through a statewide monthly survey of approximately 5,100 households. This survey collects information on the employment status of each member of these households, 16 years of age and over. Members of these households who are working at more than one job are counted as employed only once. The data reflect the county where the person lives.

The CES survey contacts approximately 71,000 businesses in California each month and collects information as to the number of jobs on the payroll for that month. Individuals who hold more than one job are counted once for each job. The data reflect the county where the job is located. These data, which present employment by industry division, are commonly referred to as the “establishment survey” or the “wage and salary employment series.” Each month the CES Program releases “Preliminary” employment and hours and earnings data for the prior month; also, “Revised” data are published for the month preceding the prior month. Once LMID and BLS have verified the “Revised” data, they remain unchanged until the new benchmark is completed in March of the following year.

The LAUS county data are estimated using a BLS prescribed multi-step estimation process, incorporating a variety of information including, but not limited to, CES survey data, agricultural employment, and unemployment claims data for local areas. The estimates of county employment/unemployment are adjusted so that all areas add to the statewide total, which is derived from BLS-developed regression models. The data reflect the county where the person lives.

Seasonally adjusted labor force data are depicted in some charts. The seasonal adjustment process is used to remove typical seasonal employment fluctuations from a time series. Seasonal activities, which affect employment, occur at various times throughout the year (e.g., additional hiring by retail stores during the Christmas season).
