ASU Checklist
General
The ASU unemployment rate rounds to at least 6.5% (6.451% does, 6.449% does not).
The Census 2000 household-only data were used for census-sharing all employment and unemployment estimates for subareas.
Designation of Potential ASU Form
A Designation Form was created for each whole ASU and each ASU part that is derived via the census-share method. A Designation Form is not needed if the ASU part is a LAUS area.
A balance-of-county code was used for the derivation area when census-sharing a part from a county that contains population- and claims-based disaggregated cities or atypically census-shared cities.
LAUS area codes were used in the addition or subtraction of ASU parts.
Population data were reported for the whole ASU, and the reference period was noted.
The MT, MC, and DV codes were used for single-county labor market areas.
For census-shared ASU parts and whole ASUs, the Census 2000 employment and unemployment data, ratios, and derivation areas (names and codes) were reported on the Designation Form.
The correct rounding rule was used.
A Data Collection Form was used for each whole ASU.
The 12-month average listed on the form is the precise average of the monthly data on the form.
The sum of employment and unemployment equals the corresponding labor force total for individual months and the 12-month average.
