Just nine states and the District of Columbia managed to add jobs during the past half-decade.
The other 41 states currently have smaller employment bases than they did at the end of 2006, according to an analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics? by On Numbers, a blog affiliated with the Wichita Business Journal.
Kansas was among the states posting job losses over the past five years. The state has lost 30,300 nonfarm jobs between November 2006 and November 2011 ? a change of 2.23 percent.
Yet 28 states experienced greater losses over the same time period.
California is the big loser in the employment rankings, with 947,000 of its jobs having slipped away since November 2006.
Nevada has been saddled with the biggest decline in percentage terms, losing 12.7 percent of its employment base during the past five years.
Texas and North Dakota registered the biggest five-year gains in employment.
Texas is the leader in raw numbers, adding 451,100 nonfarm jobs between November 2006 and November 2011. (The latter is the most recent month for which official figures are available.) No other state picked up more than 57,000 jobs during that span.
North Dakota?s increase of 12.7 percent is easily the biggest employment gain in percentage terms. Texas ranks second at 4.4 percent.
