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.
