U.S. unemployment There are several factors that impact unemployment, as it fluctuates with the state of the economy. Unfortunately, the forecasted unemployment rate in the United States is expected to increase as we head into the latter half of the decade. Those with a bachelor’s degree or higher saw the lowest unemployment rate from 1992 to 2022 in the United States, which is attributed to the fact that higher levels of education are seen as more desirable in the workforce. Nevada unemployment Nevada is one of the states with the highest unemployment rates in the country and Vermont typically has one of the lowest unemployment rates. These are seasonally adjusted rates, which means that seasonal factors such as holiday periods and weather events that influence employment periods are removed. Nevada's economy consists of industries that are currently suffering high unemployment rates such as tourism. As of May 2023, about 5.4 percent of Nevada's population was unemployed, possibly due to the lingering impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Abstract

The Turkish National Employment Agency (ISKUR) provides services for individuals who register as unemployed through 109 offices in 81 provinces. The impact evaluation study was designed by researchers from the World Bank to evaluate the impact of the ISKUR vocational training programs. These programs average 336 hours over three months are available for a wide range of subjects, and are offered by both private and public providers. These training services were provided to over 250,000 registered unemployed in 2011.

The Turkey Vocational Training Program for the Unemployed Impact Evaluation 2010-2012 was the first randomized experiment of a large-scale vocational training program for the general unemployed population (not just for disadvantaged youth) in a developing country. The program was able to trace longer-term impacts up to three years post-training, by complementing a follow-up survey with administrative data from the social security agency. A sample of 5,902 applicants was randomly allocated to treatment and control groups within 130 separate courses. Excess demand among the unemployed for many of the courses offered by ISKUR provided the possibility for an over-subscription design. The evaluation was carried out in collaboration with ISKUR and under the guidance of the Ministry of Labor.

The baseline survey took place between 13 September, 2010, and 31 January, 2011. The follow-up survey was implemented approximately one year after the end of training, between December 27, 2011, and March 5, 2012. It collected data on employment outcomes, as well as individual and household well-being.

Sampling procedure

The selection of provinces for evaluation began with a list of the 39 provinces which had at least two significantly oversubscribed training courses in 2009. These provinces were first stratified by whether they had an unemployment rate above or below the median of 10 percent in 2009. Ten provinces were then randomly selected from each strata with probability proportional to the percentage of individuals trained in 2009. Three additional provinces (Antalya, Gaziantep, and Diyarbakir) were included in the sample at the request of ISKUR because of their importance in representing varying labor market conditions across Turkey. As a result, 23 provinces were selected for inclusion in the evaluation.

Power calculations gave a target sample size of 5,700 individuals. This target was divided among the 23 provinces in proportion to the number of trainees in these provinces in the previous year. Thus Istanbul accounts for 21.8 percent of the sample, Kocaeli, Ankara and Hatay collectively 28 percent, and the remaining half of the sample is split among the other 19 provinces.

The evaluation team worked with regional ISKUR offices to determine the actual courses from within each province to be included in the evaluation. The key criteria used to decide which courses to include in the evaluation were i) the likelihood of the course being oversubscribed (which ensures the most popular types of training, for which there would be demand for further scale-up, are included); ii) inclusion of a diversity of types of training providers to enable comparison of private and public course provision; and iii) course starting and ending dates. The evaluation includes courses that started between October and December 2010 and finished by May 2011 (75 percent had finished by the end of February 2011). The timing of the evaluation was determined by the fact that it tends to be a time of year when people in Turkey are more likely to seek training through ISKUR.

This resulted in a set of 130 evaluation courses spread throughout Turkey, of which 39 were offered by private providers and the remainder were mainly government-operated. Courses were advertised and potential trainees applied to them following standard procedures. Applications were then screened to ensure they met the eligibility criteria of ISKUR and the course provider. Training providers were then asked to select a list of potential trainees that was at least 2.2 times capacity.

The ISKUR Management Information System (MIS) stratified applicants for each course by gender and whether or not they were less than 25 years old. Within these strata, the MIS randomly allocated trainees at the individual level into one of three groups: a treatment group who were selected for training, a control group who were not, and a waitlisted group who the training provider could select into the training if there were drop-outs. Since training providers are paid on the basis of number actually trained, if individuals assigned to treatment drop out of training, providers look to quickly fill in the empty spots.

The final evaluation sample consisted of 5,902 applicants, of which 3,001 were allocated to treatment and 2,901 to control groups. There were 173 individuals who applied to more than one course.

Why This Matters

Employment is the main source of income for most people. For many families and individuals, unemployment threatens access to basic needs, such as food, housing, transportation, health care, and education, among others.

Nationally, Black workers and workers of color, on average, experience persistently higher unemployment rates than white workers. Racist policies and practices, including segregation, employment discrimination, and inequities in the criminal justice system have undermined job security for workers of color.

The District's Response

Initiatives that support residents in career advancement and their efforts to secure sustainable employment through education and training support, such as Career MAP, Advanced Technical Centers (ATC), and the DC Infrastructure Academy, among other programs and services.

Administering federal and local safety net programs that provide temporary cash and health benefits to help residents experiencing unemployment and related economic hardship meet their basic needs, including unemployment insurance, Medicaid, TANF For District Families, SNAP, etc.

Programs to remove barriers employment for returning citizens, such as Pathways to Work and the Returning Citizens Access to Jobs Grant.

The employment and unemployment indicator shows several data points. The first figure is the number of people in the labor force, which includes the number of people who are either working or looking for work. The second two figures, the number of people who are employed and the number of people who are unemployed, are the two subcategories of the labor force. The unemployment rate is a calculation of the number of people who are in the labor force and unemployed as a percentage of the total number of people in the labor force.

The unemployment rate does not include people who are not employed and not in the labor force. This includes adults who are neither working nor looking for work. For example, full-time students may choose not to seek any employment during their college career, and are thus not considered in the unemployment rate. Stay-at-home parents and other caregivers are also considered outside of the labor force, and therefore outside the scope of the unemployment rate.

The unemployment rate is a key economic indicator, and is illustrative of economic conditions in the county at the individual scale.

There are additional considerations to the unemployment rate. Because it does not count those who are outside the labor force, it can exclude individuals who were looking for a job previously, but have since given up. The impact of this on the overall unemployment rate is difficult to quantify, but it is important to note because it shows that no statistic is perfect.

The unemployment rates for Champaign County, the City of Champaign, and the City of Urbana are extremely similar between 2000 and 2023.

All three areas saw a dramatic increase in the unemployment rate between 2006 and 2009. The unemployment rates for all three areas decreased overall between 2010 and 2019. However, the unemployment rate in all three areas rose sharply in 2020 due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The unemployment rate in all three areas dropped again in 2021 as pandemic restrictions were removed, and were almost back to 2019 rates in 2022. However, the unemployment rate in all three areas rose slightly from 2022 to 2023.

Survey Description: Labor force and unemployment estimates for States and local areas are developed by State workforce agencies to measure local labor market conditions under a Federal-State cooperative program. The Department of Labor develops the concepts, definitions, and technical procedures which are used by State agencies for preparation of labor force and unemployment estimates.

These estimates are derived from a variety of sources, including the Current Population Survey, the Current Employment Statistics survey, the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, various programs at the Census Bureau, and unemployment insurance claims data from the State workforce agencies.

To establish uniform labor force concepts and definitions in all States and areas consistent with those used for the U.S. as a whole, monthly national estimates of employment and unemployment from the Current Population Survey are used as controls (benchmarks) for the State labor force statistics.
