>>For a complete discussion on covered vs. noncovered workers, see this article.
We produced the following chart to illustrate the steady increase of workers not covered by unemployment insurance among 10 of the broadest-level industry sectors using national county-level data. The ratio of noncovered workers to the rest of the workforce is derived by comparing EMSI’s covered dataset (which closely resembles state LMI data, but with suppressions removed) with our complete dataset. The time frame is from 2005 to 2010.
