Bureau of Labor Statistics. Employment and Unemployment (Non-Seasonally Adjusted): Non-Seasonally Adjusted Employment | State: Alabama, 1976 - 2014. Data-Planet™ Statistical Datasets by Conquest Systems, Inc. Dataset-ID: 002-013-002
Dataset: Total employment, non-seasonally adjusted. The BLS defines employed persons as persons 16 years and over in the civilian noninstitutional population who, during the reference week, (a) did at least one hour of work as paid employees; worked in their own business, profession, or on their own farm, or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an family-owned enterprise; and (b) persons not working but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent due to various personal and employment conditions or reasons. Each employed person is counted only once, even if he or she holds more than one job. Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work around their own house (painting, repairing, or own home housework) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and other organizations. Not seasonally adjusted is used to describe data series that have NOT been subjected to the seasonal adjustment process.
The LAUS program (Local Area Unemployment Statistics) is a cooperative Federal-state program that produces monthly and annual estimates of employment, unemployment, and the unemployment rate for over 7,000 geographic areas. The areas include census regions and divisions, states, metropolitan areas, metropolitan divisions, micropolitan areas, combined areas, small labor market areas, counties and county equivalents, cities with a population of 25,000 and over, and all cities and towns in New England regardless of population. The Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS) data are a key input to the LAUS program methodology and have a significant impact on the estimates from the program. Together, the CPS and LAUS program estimates provide a consistent historical time series for employment and unemployment data at the national and state level.
