ArkansasLabor MarketReport
January 2017
The Arkansas Labor Market is prepared monthly in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Labor, Bu-reau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The current month’s estimates are preliminary, while previous month’s data is subject to revision.
Estimates of nonfarm payroll jobs show the num-ber of jobs by industry and reflect employment by place of work. Hours and earnings estimates are based on payroll and worker-hour data col-lected for production workers in manufacturing industries.
Industries are classified according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). All estimates are based on a first quarter 2016 benchmark.
Explanation of Terms and Concepts
Monthly Business Survey of Employers
A monthly sample survey designed to provide industry information on nonfarm payroll jobs. Data are compiled each month from mail surveys and telephone interviews conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation with Department of Workforce Services. The data are based on establishment records and include all workers, full-or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period which includes the 12th of the
month. Approximately 5,000 Arkansas business establishments are surveyed.
Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)
A term applied by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to counties that have one or more central cities and that meet specified criteria of population density, commuting patterns and social and economic integration.
Current Population Survey (CPS)
A monthly sample survey of the population 16 years of age and over, designed to provide data on the labor force, the employed and the unem-ployed. The survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census for BLS. The information is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about 60,000 households. The data collected are based on the activity reported for the calendar week including the 12th of the month. Approxi-mately 800 Arkansas households are represented in the sample survey.
Civilian Labor Force
The sum of all employed and unemployed persons 16 years of age or older. Members of the Armed Forces are excluded.
Employment
An estimate of the number of persons who worked any time for pay or profit or worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in a family business dur-ing the calendar week which includes the 12th of the month. Also included are those who, although not working, had some job attachment and were not looking for work, and persons involved in labor management disputes.
Unemployment
An estimate of the number of persons who did not have a job, but were available for work and actively seeking work during the calendar week which includes the 12th of the month.
Unemployment Rate
The number of unemployed as a percentage of the civilian labor force. Unemployment rates are calculated from unrounded data.
Seasonal Adjustment
A statistical technique applied to monthly data to eliminate changes that normally occur during the year due to seasonal events such as weather, major holidays, schedule shifts, harvest times, and the opening/closing of schools.

Changes Affecting Data
Arkansas Civilian Labor Force:
In accordance with guidelines from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statis-tics, Arkansas’ Civilian Labor Force (CLF) estimates are undergoing annual processing. The purpose of annual processing is to incorporate more complete and accurate information into the estimation process. CLF estimates are being revised back to January 2010.
All levels of data—State, counties, Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), Micropolitan Sta-tistical Areas, Local Workforce Development Areas, and cities—have been revised from January 2010 through December 2016. The new Statewide and sub-state CLF data is avail-able now at www.discover.arkansas.gov.
Arkansas Nonfarm Payroll Jobs:
In accordance with the same guidelines, the Current Employment Statistics program also re-estimated the nonfarm payroll job series to include more comprehensive and precise information into the calculations. State and MSA estimates for 2015 and 2016 were re-cently revised and are available on the Discover Arkansas website.

Number of Unemployed (Seasonally Adjusted)January: 2007 - 2017
Labor force data, produced by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics and released by the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services, show Arkansas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased one-tenth of a percentage point, from 3.9 percent in December 2016 to 3.8 percent in January 2017. Arkansas’ civilian labor force declined 1,275, a result of 2,098 fewer unemployed and 823 additional employed Arkansans. The United States’ jobless rate increased one-tenth of a percentage point to 4.8 percent in January 2017, up from 4.7 percent in December 2016.
BLS Program Operations Manager Susan Price said, “The number of unemployed Arkansans declined 2,098 in January, pushing the unemployment rate down to 3.8 percent. After revising data from pre-vious years, the new series reflects a small but steady decrease in unemployment each month since March 2011.”

ArkansasLabor MarketReport
January 2017
Nonfarm payroll jobs in Arkansas decreased 24,300 in January to total 1,216,300. Ten major industry sectors posted job losses, the majority of which experienced typical seasonal fluctuations. Trade, trans-portation, and utilities dropped 7,200, attributed to the end of the holiday shopping season. Employ-ment in government declined 6,000. Contractions in state (-4,200) and local (-1,400) government were related to the winter break at public schools. Jobs in professional and business services decreased 5,900. Most of the loss was in administrative and support services (-5,100), which includes employment agencies. Leisure and hospitality declined 2,400, attributed to seasonal contractions in accommoda-tion and food services.

Compared to January 2016, Arkansas’ nonfarm payroll job totals are up 11,800. Seven major industry sectors posted growth, while employment in four sectors is down. Educational and health services rose 6,500, mostly in health care and social assistance (+5,300). Jobs in professional and business services increased 2,700. A majority of the gains occurred in professional-scientific-technical services (+2,400). Manufacturing added 2,100 jobs. Growth in nondurable goods (+3,400) offset the losses in durable goods (-1,300), due in part to reported hiring in food manufacturing. Employment in other services rose 1,900. The sector includes activities such as repair-maintenance services and membership organizations. The largest decline was posted in government, down 1,600. Both local (-1,100) and state (-600) government reported losses over the year.
