Monthly Estimates of Labor Force and Unemployment Rates for States, 1970-1986

<p>These data are non-seasonally adjusted monthly estimates of civilian noninstitutional population, labor force, and unemployment rate by State. Population and labor force estimates are in thousands, and rates are to one implied decimal place. The dataset for 1970-1986 is for the ten largest States, all of which are official estimates. The other dataset for 1976-1986 contains data for the rest of the States and the District of Columbia, and are unofficial estimates except for North Carolina in 1985-1986.</p>
