Note data revisions: The data in this release reflects recently revised historical estimates. All states in the nation participate in this revision process facilitated by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Following the decennial census, the Office of Management and Budget issued new metropolitan statistical area delineations. The metro areas affected by these new delineations includes revisions to the Grand Rapids-Wyoming, MI and Kalamazoo-Portage, MI metro areas, along with the addition of the Traverse City, MI metro area. For updated geographic delineations, go to www.bls.gov.
Labor force estimates for Michigan counties have been revised for all months of 2024. Revised data will be released in coming weeks for 2016–2023.
In addition, all unadjusted payroll job data for Michigan and all metro areas was revised for 2023 and 2024. For certain industries with larger historical revisions, unadjusted payroll job data was revised for multiple years, some back to 1990. For newly revised data, go to www.milmi.org/datasearch.
Previously published data for these years should be discarded and replaced with the new series.
Note about additional data revisions: Since the release of January 2025 data, additional adjustments had been made to historical Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) and Current Employment Statistics (CES) program data. The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics released an overview of the adjustments made. To learn more about these additional adjustments, go to www.bls.gov/errata.Media Contact:
