Unemployment Insurance Reemployment Rates
Each calendar quarter, states report on the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) 9047 report the number of UI first payments for whom intrastate or out-of-state wages are reported in the subsequent quarter.
The following charts and tables summarize UI Reemployment by several criteria. The quarter-ending date refers to the quarter in which the claimant receives a first UI payment. Data are displayed by quarter or cumulatively for four quarters, as indicated.
Data for the 1st quarter of 2012 exclude Virgin Islands due to reporting issues.
For individuals receiving a UI first payment during the period April 2011 to March 2012, 62.6 percent were reemployed in the subsequent quarter, covering the period July 2011 to June 2012. The reemployment rate increased from 58.5 percent for first payment recipients during the October to December 2011 quarter, to 67.3 percent for first payment recipients during the January to March 2012 quarter.
Reemployment for claimants who were not Exempt from work search or Employment Service registration requirements increased by nearly 7 percentage points for claimants receiving a UI first payment during the 1st quarter of calendar year 2012 ( reemployment during the April to June 2012 quarter). Reemployment for Exempt claimants increased nearly 10 percentage points.
When comparing the most recent quarter to the previous quarter, the UI reemployment rate for claimants who found jobs within the same state as the liable state for the UI claim increased by 8.9 percentage points to 62.86 percent. The out-of-State reemployment rate decreased only 0.22 percentage points to 4.39 percent.
Over 73 percent of the 2.6 million UI first payment recipients during the January to March 2012 quarter were required to conduct an active work search and/or register with their state Employment Service. The number of UI first payments decreased from 2.21 million during the October to December 2012 quarter to 2.64 million in the January to March quarter.
