House of Representatives
108th Congress
County Unemployment Data by Congressional District
for Committee on Education and the Workforce
The table below provides a sense of the unemployment situation in individual congressional districts for members of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce by showing the December 2003 county unemployment rates by county with counties grouped by congressional district. The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not publish unemployment rates for congressional districts.
In using this table note that where several districts are located in a single county, as happens in large cities, the unemployment rate most likely does not reflect the congressional district. For districts containing several counties, a precise unemployment rate would require weighting workforce size. Counties split by congressional district lines would have to be allocated precisely. Note also that the county unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted. The table for the full Congress may be found by clicking here
