This dataset contains unemployment rates and labor force estimates for all California counties. The information included in this dataset is derived from the employment and unemployment estimates reported from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics. The Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program is a Federal-State cooperative effort in which monthly estimates of total employment and unemployment are prepared for approximately 7,300 areas, including counties, cities and metropolitan statistical areas. These estimates are key indicators of local economic conditions.
