LEHD, LED and more: "gifts" from the U.S. Census Bureau that give valuable LMI all year long

The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) is an innovative U.S. Census Bureau program which uses statistical and computing techniques to combine federal and state administrative data on employers and employees with core Census Bureau censuses and surveys. It is important to note that throughout this process, the confidentiality of the data is safeguarded.

The LEHD program melds the federal and state administrative data on employers and employees with the core census data and other census surveys. The Local Employment Dynamics (LED) program, an application housed on the Census Bureau's website, utilizes the LEHD data to provide detailed information regarding local labor markets. The LED is a voluntary partnership between state labor market information agencies and the U.S. Census Bureau to develop new information about local labor market conditions at low cost, with no added respondent burden, and with the same confidentiality protections afforded census and survey data.

Data produced through the LED partnership is utilized to produce the Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI). This online application provides a wide variety of economic indicators (including employment, job creation, wages and worker turnover) that can be queried by different levels of geography (state, county, metro and workforce investment area) as well as by detailed industry, gender and age of workers. This graphic, which includes comparative data for Aurora County and statewide South Dakota, details the QWI that are available, including the number of new hires and turnover rates.

Industry Focus, another related online application which also utilizes the LED data, allows users to analyze the top industries for their local area, focus in on a particular industry to see how it ranks among top industries, and also look at the characteristics of those who work in that industry. The table below shows the output provided when running a query to show the top ten private industries which employ the most workers in South Dakota.


Page 2 of 27

Other query options are available, including running reports specific to gender, age and educational attainment levels. For example, this table shows information for the top ten industries which employ female workers specific to the 25-34 year age group, as well as which industries employ the most female workers in the 25-34 year age group.

OnTheMap

OnTheMap is a web-based mapping and reporting application that shows where workers are employed and where they live. It also provides companion reports on age, earnings, industry distributions and local workforce indicators.

Currently based on 2002-2009 LED worker origin and destination data and the Quarterly Workforce Indicators (QWI) data files, OnTheMap is a unique resource for mapping the travel patterns of workers and identifying small-area workforce characteristics. OnTheMap provides graphics which provides key workforce information for specific geographic areas, including cities, counties and states. Referencing 2009 LED data, there were approximately 372,000 jobs in our state, with approximately 20,000 (5.4 percent) of these jobs employing workers who commute into South Dakota to work. Approximately 372,000 (94.6 percent) of these jobs are filled by South Dakota residents.

This South Dakota workforce information can be quickly absorbed via the graphics produced by OnTheMap.

Corresponding detailed reports can also be produced, including information regarding where workers live and where residents work.

In summary, the Census Bureau provides a wealth of workforce information via the LED partnerships with all states and U.S. Territories. Fortunately, all of these LED data tools can be easily accessed on the U.S. Census Bureau's website, at http://lehd.did.census.gov/led/datatools/datatools.html. The Labor Market Information Center's economic analysts are familiar with the tools and are available to assist as needed. You may contact us at 605.626.2314.

Note: Federal government employment is not generally included in the QWI data. Exempted employment varies slightly

from state to state due to variations in state unemployment laws, but generally also excludes many farmers and

agricultural employees, domestic workers, self-employed non-agricultural workers, members of the Armed Services,

some state and local government employees as well as certain types of nonprofit employers and religious organizations

(which are given a choice of coverage or non-coverage in a number of states). A more in-depth discussion of UI-

coverage issues is available in the technical paper "Employment that is not covered by state unemployment."

Overview of the labor market in November

Labor Supply

The number of South Dakotans who would be available to staff a new or expanding business, or South Dakota's labor supply, was estimated at 78,010 in November 2011. Included in this labor supply are those who currently hold jobs (and would like to change) and those who, for a variety of reasons, do not have jobs.The following map shows labor supply estimates by county.

South Dakota Labor Supply November 2011

Labor Force

This data is seasonally adjusted.

Preliminary estimates show the November 2011 South Dakota labor force increasing over the month by 1,100, with the level of employed increasing by 1,900 (0.4 percent), and the level of unemployed decreasing by 900 (4.4 percent).

Nationally, the unemployment rate fell by 0.4 percentage point to 8.6 percent in November. The number of unemployed persons, at 13.3 million, was down by 594,000 in November. The labor force, which is the sum of the unemployed and employed, was down by a little more than half that amount.


Page 6 of 27

Over the year, South Dakota's current labor force of 450,000 is up compared to the level of 445,000 in November 2010. The level of unemployed decreased by 1,300 (6.3 percent) to 19,400; the level of employed increased by 6,200 persons (1.5 percent).

South Dakota Unemployment Rates by County Not seasonally adjusted

November 2011

Notes about labor force data

The unemployment rate represents the number of unemployed as a percent of the labor force. People are classified as unemployed if they do not have jobs, have actively looked for work in the prior four weeks and are currently available for work. People who were not working and were waiting to be recalled to jobs from which they were temporarily laid off are also included as unemployed.

Labor force estimates for South Dakota are produced by the Labor Market Information Center in cooperation with the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The concepts and definitions underlying the labor force data come from the Current Population Survey (CPS), the household survey which is the official measure of the labor force for the nation. The statewide estimate of the number of nonfarm jobs is a component of the model used to produce the labor force estimates. Other data used in this model include the number of continued unemployment insurance claims and survey data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) which is specific to the state.

Although state specific data is used in the production of the labor force estimates for South Dakota, the state monthly model estimates are controlled in "real time" to sum to national monthly labor force estimates from the CPS. Therefore, variation in the estimates of the employed and unemployed are somewhat controlled by what is happening nationally.

South Dakota Nonfarm Wage & Salaried Workers by Industry

This data is not seasonally adjusted.

Over-the-month comparisons

Based on a monthly survey of South Dakota establishments where employment data is collected for the pay periods that occur during the 12th of the month, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) preliminary estimates showed the South Dakota total nonfarm wage and salaried worker employment level decreased by 2,200 workers (or 0.5 percent) from October 2011 to November 2011. The seasonal loss was within historical standards when compared to previous years during the same time frame. (See table of related data.)

Retail trade had the largest over-the-month expansion with a 500 (or 1.0 percent) estimated worker gain. The October to November retail worker gain was one of the smallest on record, but the over-the-month gain could well be within the historical averages when factoring in the survey's sampling error. Because of survey sampling errors, it is best to look at two or three months of data instead of a single month.

The over-the-month retail trade worker gain is the result of businesses preparing for the day after Thanksgiving sales events. The day after Thanksgiving has become known as Black Friday (because it helps retailers' balance sheets run in the black) and is a good day for consumer traffic and sales. Black Friday has undoubtedly capitalized on the Thanksgiving holiday timeframe since many people have a four day weekend (have time to shop), it is a good time to start looking for Christmas gifts (only a month away), plus the large family gatherings foster the desire to show appreciation through gift giving (creates need to shop).

Leisure and hospitality, along with mining and construction produced the largest over-the-month seasonal losses. Leisure and hospitality showed a decline of 1,300 workers (or 3.1 percent) as tourist destinations close or reduce staff to match the decrease in visitors as colder weather occurs. Mining and construction showed a decrease of 1,200 jobs (or 5.3 percent), as cold weather stopped many construction projects.

Over-the-year comparisons

Preliminary estimates provided by the BLS show South Dakota's total nonfarm wage and salaried worker level increased by 2,500 employees (or 0.6 percent) from November 2010 to November 2011.

There were notable jobs added within professional and business services (1,800 workers or 6.7 percent), manufacturing (1,500 workers or 4.0 percent) and health care and social assistance (1,100 workers or 1.9 percent). The largest losses came from leisure and hospitality (down 900 workers or 2.1 percent) and local government (down 1,300 workers or 2.6 percent).

True Love's True Cost for 2011

Before you partake in a holiday spending spree for any of True Love's gifts, look at PNC Wealth Management's calculations on how much you would spend. The company's 2011 Christmas Price Index analyzes the cost of the eccentric gifts in the holiday tune. To purchase everything on your true love's "Twelve Days of Christmas" wish list, you would need to spend $101,119.84 to purchase the items repeatedly as the song implies. It is the first time the cost for these items has topped the $100,000 mark. PNC estimates the "True Cost of Christmas in Song" is up 4.4% from last year. This closely echoes the Consumer Price Index's rise of 3.9% over the year.


Page 8 of 27

A completely fulfilled wish list would consist of 12 drummers drumming, 22 pipers piping, 30 lords-a-leaping, 36 ladies dancing, 40 maids-a-milking, 42 swans-a-swimming, 42 geese-a-laying, 40 gold rings, 36 calling birds, 30 French hens, 22 turtledoves, and 12 partridges in pear trees.

No room in your home (or budget) for 364 gifts? How about 78 instead? True loves who splurge enough to buy just one set of each item (the "Total Christmas Price Index"), will spend $24,263.18, or about 75 percent less than if buying the complete set with all the repeats. The cost of a set rose by 3.5 percent over the year.

You can see the comparison cost for 2011 and 2010 in the table and chart below.


Page 9 of 27

Slightly cost conscious true loves who would like just one of the quirky gifts, can purchase some sets of a single gift for less than $200.00. The federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour for maids-a-milking remained unchanged from last year, which means eight maids are $58.00 for an hour (cows not included). The other carol gift sets under $200 are for (some of) the birds. A partridge costs $15.00 while its fruit-bearing home (a pear tree) is $161.99. The other fine feathered gifts that could fly off the shelves and to your true love for under $200 are the two turtledoves ($125), three French hens ($150.00) and six geese-a-laying ($162.00). TT

Those who prefer online shopping will pay considerably more. Due to high shipping costs for birds, the Internet cost is $174,382.83 for the carol's complete gift set and $39,860.06 for one set of each item.

Maids-a-Milking According to the South Dakota Department of Agriculture, there are approximately 368 dairy farms in South Dakota as of January 2011. In 2009 (most current data available), dairy products were South Dakota's second-leading livestock commodity in cash receipts.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, South Dakota had an average of 92,000 milk cows that produced more than 1.8 billion pounds of milk in 2010.

Happy holidays from the Labor Market Information Center and the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation!
