Bureau of Labor Statistics (2015). Extended Mass Layoffs (NAICS) [Archive]: Total Initial Claimants, Industry Data from 1995-Present (NAICS) | Country: USA | State: Minnesota | Industry*: Total all industries, 1996-2003. Data-Planet™ Statistical Ready Reference by Conquest Systems, Inc. [Data-file]. Dataset-ID: 002-009-003.
Dataset: Total initial unemployment insurance claimants, not seasonally adjusted, NAICS industry data from 1995-present. An initial claimant is a person who files any notice of unemployment to initiate a request either for a determination of entitlement to and eligibility for compensation, or for a subsequent period of unemployment within a benefit year or period of eligibility. Not seasonally adjusted is used to describe data series that have NOT been subjected to the seasonal adjustment process.
The Mass Layoff Statistics (MLS) program collects reports on mass layoff actions that result in workers being separated from their jobs. Monthly mass layoff numbers are from establishments which have at least 50 initial claims for unemployment insurance (UI) filed against them during a 5-week period. Extended mass layoff numbers (issued quarterly) are from a subset of such establishments--where private sector nonfarm employers indicate that 50 or more workers were separated from their jobs for at least 31 days. Note: As of 2004, in response to budget cuts, the BLS eliminated data roll-ups by NAICS code, with the results that data values are only available for prinvate, nonfarm industries as a general category since that time. Further, on March 1, 2013, President Obama ordered into effect the across-the-board spending cuts (commonly referred to as sequestration) as required by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act, as amended. The Bureau of Labor of Statistics eliminated the Mass Layoffs programs as part of its effort to achieve the mandated loss of appropriations.
This dataset uses the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
