Helping Good Investors Make Better Decisions
Yes – we are a little late this month with our state by state rankings for total nonfarm employment growth and unemployment rates. The BLS didn’t post until last Friday, and there have been projects screaming for attention over the weekend and yesterday here at the office.
We’re happy to provide this information again this month […]
The BLS has released data today on nonfarm payrolls – 84,000 jobs down in July; consensus projections were running somewhere in the range of -75,000. Probably the most impressive data point was the revision in the June NFP from -51K to -100K.
The unemployment rate officially jumped to 6.1% (from 5.7%), with Bureau of Labor Statistics […]
We are pleased to announce that we’ve just posted the new state-by-state rankings for total nonfarm employment growth and unemployment on the Free Resources page of the website – with a couple of nice improvements and additions.
In the Nonfarm Employment Growth Report / State by State Summary for August 2008 we’ve once again ranked the […]
The media is off and running with today’s BLS release of the national unemployment rate; unemployment has climbed to 5.7% in July. BLS data shows that employers trimmed 51,000 nonfarm jobs in July; the biggest losers were construction, manufacturing, and several service-providing industries including retail. Job growth was noted in the education and health services, […]
One of the most interesting categories of information that we track is job growth in individual markets. It almost goes without saying that job growth is an extraordinarily critical contributor to creation of housing demand in a market, and therefore is of paramount interest to both multifamily and single family investors.
As noted in previous posts […]
The Bureau of Labor Statistics posted their state level employment and unemployment data today, and we’ve cruched the data and prepared another set of free summary reports (the link goes right to the Free Resources page, then click on the reports you wish to view) ranking the states by a 6 month rolling average of […]
The BLS has announced today total nonfarm employment continued to drift downward in June, at a published rate today that didn’t seem to raise a lot of eyebrows. When you look at the total nonfarm employment and unemployment over time, it adds a bit of perspective – here are the graphs right out of the […]
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has just released today 20 June state level nonfarm employment growth and unemployment data; we’ve analyzed the data and run the numbers.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics has just released today 20 June state level unemployment and total nonfarm employment growth data; we’ve analyzed the data and run the numbers.
The top five states have shuffled a bit as compared to last month’s report. South Dakota has the lowest unemployment rate at 2.7%, followed Wyoming at 2.9%, and […]
The mainstream media is once again breathlessly reporting that the nation’s unemployment rate has posted its largest one-month increase in 22 years (since February 1986) with today’s data release from the Department of Labor / Bureau of Labor Statistics.
For the record the nation’s unemployment rate did increase to 5.5% as reported by DOL / BLS […]
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is basically back on schedule with their posting in the past few days of unemployment and employment data from April (they were weeks late with March’s data).
We posted yesterday the free PDF file for this month’s data (current though April 2008) detailing state by state unemployment rates. Here’s a link […]

Just as we noted yesterday, given late reporting of the March data for employment and unemployment by our friends at the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor, it looks as if we’ll be providing two updates on unemployment rates per state this month (that’s assuming that May’s reporting is on time….).

By supersector manufacturing (46,000 jobs eliminated) and construction (61,000 jobs down) continued to […]
