List of U.S. states by unemployment rate
U.S. unemployment in December 2015
Historical seasonal unemployment rates, showing the variance between the fifty states.
The list of U.S. states by unemployment rate compares the seasonally adjusted unemployment rates by state and territory, sortable by name, rate, and change. Data are provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in its Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment publication.[1][2] While non-seasonally adjusted data reflects the actual current unemployment rate, seasonally adjusted removes the seasonal component from the data.[3]
