The taxable wage base for federal unemployment (FUTA) and state unemployment (SUTA, SUI, UI) are listed. Employer rates are based on employer’s unemployment experience and taxes are generally paid by the employer. Alaska (0.50% in 2008, 2009, and 2010), New Jersey (0.925% in 2008, 1.015% in 2009, and 1.045% in 2010), and Pennsylvania (0.06% in 2008 and 2009 and 0.08% in 2010) also tax the employee.
