<p>I thought that the St Louis FED was the ultimative resource for macro data, but even they don't appear to have a time series of <strong>state level</strong> unemployment numbers for the United States.</p>

<p>Who does?</p>

Sorry for not having a specific link, but BEA [has](http://www.bea.gov/iTable/iTable.cfm?reqid=70&step=1&isuri=1&acrdn=1#reqid=70&step=1&isuri=1&7003=1000&7004=naics&7035=-1&7005=1&7006=xx&7001=11000&7036=-1&7002=1&7090=70&7007=2012&7093=levels) data on *employment* and CPS [includes](https://cps.ipums.org/cps-action/extract_requests/download) microdata on employment status. I hope someone will give a better source.

BLS does provide time series. I am looking at a decade of monthly data for Delaware both seasonally adjusted and not right now.

I thought that the St Louis FED was the ultimative resource for macro data, but even they don't appear to have a time series of **state level** unemployment numbers for the United States.

Who does?

![DE Unemployment Rate Time Series](https://i.sstatic.net/gdXgC.gif)

The Bureau of Labor Statistics Local Area Unemployment series of data provides monthly figures at the state level from 1976-2014 downloadable as Excel, CSV, or images.

I looked into the following Series:

LASST100000000000003   
LASST100000000000004   
LASST100000000000005   
LASST100000000000006   
  
LAUST100000000000003   
LAUST100000000000004   
LAUST100000000000005   
LAUST100000000000006

Where LAU meant not seasonally adjusted, and LAS was seasonal, with the 3,4,5,6 standing for labor force, employment, unemployment, and unemployment rate, respectively, and the 10000000000000 (I believe) indicating the region I chose (in this example, the State of Delaware).
