(Note: All of my employment number reports are based on monthly reports and data published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. States numbers reports are based on the monthly Regional and State Employment/Unemployment Survey . The BLS reports include month over month and year over year numbers of state job numbers. My analysis is taken from the monthly BLS data copied to an Excel spreadsheet every month. I calculate detailed percentage increases/decreases, 3 month numbers, year to date and year over year numbers, and I rank the states and employment sectors according to various metrics. *NET jobs: All jobs numbers in the monthly reports are NET jobs numbers. In other words, jobs are lost and gained every month, in good economic times and bad. The number of jobs lost or gained and the number of workers lost or gained represents all job gains after all losses are subtracted or all job losses after all gains are subtracted. In months in which there are jobs gains, more jobs have been added than jobs lost. In months in which there are jobs losses, more jobs have been lost than have been added. Since September 2010, we have had ONLY net job gains.)
