Characteristics of the Insured Unemployed (CIU)

A dataset from the Department of Labor, Characteristics of the Insured Unemployed provides state-level breakouts of unemployment into industry, occupation, or various demographic categories. Emsi uses CIU to disaggregate county-level LAUS unemployment counts into those categories.

For more on how Emsi uses CIU, see the article describing the methodology for Emsi’s unemployment data.
