Industry Employment and
Unemployment Rates for Counties
These data are updated monthly and are currently available through
December 2009. Data for counties are not
adjusted for seasonal factors.
About These Data:
Each month the Employment Development Department, Labor Market
Information Division releases unemployment rates and employment by
industry data for California and sub–state areas. See the
complete
release schedule for exact dates.
For the state, we release two series of data –
seasonally–adjusted and not seasonally adjusted. The
greatest detail is provided for the not seasonally adjusted series.
These are the data you should use to compare the California
statewide data with other geographic areas in the state. See the
article, "
What Is a Seasonal Adjustment?" for more information.
See the "
Employment by Industry Method" for details on how the
estimates of employment by industry are developed and the article,
Methods for Labor Force Estimates, for the unemployment rates.
