- Bureau of Labor Statistics (2014) provides an in-depth but non-technical overview of what follows and Tiller (1992) and Pfeffermann and Tiller (1996) provide a more technical treatment. The first step of the real-time estimation involves estimating the state space models separately for total unemployment and employment. The unemployment rate is constructed from these two estimates. Let ys,t + os,t denote the direct count of a variable such as state employment or unemployment from the CPS, where os,t denotes any outlier component identified using intervention model methods. For each state, the observation equation is: ys,t = αs,txs,t + Ls,t + Ss,t + es,t, (A.1) where xs,t is an external regressor (insured unemployment for unemployment and CES payroll employment for employment), Ls,t is a trend level, Ss,t is a seasonal component, and es,t is the
