Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)
The Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program is a federal-state cooperative effort, which produces monthly and annual employment, unemployment, and labor force data for approximately 7,500 Census regions, divisions, states, counties, metropolitan areas, and many cities.
The interactive charts and tables below display both seasonally and non-seasonally adjusted LAUS data for Oklahoma and counties, metropolitan areas, and some cities. Current and historical data can be viewed and explored by using the tabs at the top of the frame. For more information, see Tableau Guide.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics' Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) website offers current and historical labor force and unemployment rate data at the statewide, MSA, and county levels for all U.S. States and territories.

Local Employment Dynamics
Local Employment Dynamics (LED) is a partnership between the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission and the U.S. Census Bureau to develop information about local workforce and labor market conditions. This information is built from sources that cover more than 90% of total wage and salary civilian jobs, primarily state and federal administrative records. Exclusions to this coverage include federal government workers, agricultural workers, domestic workers, and the self-employed.
This tool provides detailed maps showing where people work and where workers live with companion reports on worker ages, earnings, industry distribution, and local workforce indicators.
This unique report/chart building tool—based on a powerful relational dataset built in partnership between States and the U.S. Census Bureau—provides local-level labor insights by a number of valuable criteria.
This tool provides an easy-to-use online interface for downloading raw data files. By stepping through a series of simple query-building tabs, users can select the precise variables and detailed characteristics they desire. LED data users will access raw data downloads in comma-separated value (CSV) or zipped CSV formats.
