| 1.1 - Total Employment (non-farm) | | 2,830,100 | | ESD | Employment peaked in 2008 at 2.97 million, but it declined with the recession. Over the past year, there has been a net gain in jobs each month, for a total of about 46,600 net new jobs. The private sector grew, while the public sector lost jobs. |
| 1.2 - Early Workers' Compensation Claim Resolution | | 44.1% | | L&I | From April to June, 44.1% of time-loss workers’ compensation claims were resolved within 6 months, an increase over the past several quarters. L&I is undertaking several major initiatives, including Lean projects, to increase to 50% by mid-2013. |
| 1.3 - Unemployment Insurance Call Wait Time | Under 7 min. | 7:16 |  | ESD | Average wait time for callers on hold was just over 7 minutes in July. After ESD reduced staff to match declining volume, wait time rose in Jun-Jul, likely a seasonal effect. In Apr-Jun, 83% of virtual hold callbacks were within 3 minutes of the estimate. |
