Labor Force data serves as the source for Local Area Unemployment Statistics for the civilian labor force, employment, unemployment, and unemployment rates in the state of Arkansas.
The National Unemployment Rate and Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) is a BLS program produced as a state and federal partnership. These are monthly unemployment numbers produced for the US, states, counties, large cities, and Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA). This particular dataset focuses on the County series of unemployment statistics which are not seasonally adjusted going back to 1990. Other data series/geographies are available via the Arkansas Department of Workforce Services (DWS) under the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) page available at https://www.discover.arkansas.gov/Data-Search-Tool/LAUS
