type: Dataset
description: This layer contains the latest 14 months of unemployment statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The data is offered at the nationwide, state, and county geography levels. Puerto Rico is included. These are not seasonally adjusted values. The layer is updated monthly with the newest unemployment statistics available from BLS. There are attributes in the layer that specify which month is associated to each statistic. Most current month: July 2025 (preliminary values at the state and county level) The attributes included for each month are: Unemployment rate (%) Count of unemployed population Count of employed population in the labor force Count of people in the labor force Data obtained from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Data downloaded: August 27, 2025 Local Area Unemployment Statistics table download: https://www.bls.gov/lau/#tables Local Area Unemployment FTP downloads: State and County Nation Data Notes: This layer is updated automatically when the BLS releases their most current monthly statistics. The layer always contains the most recent estimates. It is updated within days of the BLS"s county release schedule. BLS releases their county statistics roughly 2 months after-the-fact. The data is joined to 2023 TIGER boundaries from the U.S. Census Bureau. Monthly values are subject to revision over time. For national values, employed plus unemployed may not sum to total labor force due to rounding. As of the January 2022 estimates released on March 18th, 2022, BLS is reporting new data for the two new census areas in Alaska - Copper River and Chugach - and historical data for the previous census area - Valdez Cordova. As of the March 17th, 2025 release, BLS now reports data for 9 planning regions in Connecticut rather than the 8 previous counties. To better understand the different labor force statistics included in this map, see the diagram below from BLS:
