METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT – OCTOBER 2009 Unemployment rates were higher in October than a year earlier in all 372 metropolitan areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Fifteen areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 13 areas registered rates below 5.0 percent. The national unemployment rate in October was 9.5 percent, not seasonally adjusted, up from 6.1 percent a year earlier. Among the 369 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll employment were available, 361 areas reported over-the-year decreases in employment and 8 reported increases. Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In October, 124 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, up from 13 areas a year earlier, while 75 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, down from 280 areas in October 2008. El Centro, Calif., and neighboring Yuma, Ariz., continued to record the highest unemployment rates, 30.0 and 23.5 percent, respectively. Among the 15 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, 9 were located in California and 3 were in Michigan. Bismarck, N.D., registered the lowest unemployment rate in October, 2.8 percent, followed by Fargo, N.D.-Minn., and Grand Forks, N.D.-Minn., 3.5 percent each. Overall, 138 areas recorded unemployment rates above the U.S. figure of 9.5 percent, 229 areas reported rates below it, and 5 areas had the same rate. (See table 1 and the map.) Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., recorded the largest jobless rate increase from October 2008 (+7.3 per-centage points), followed by Rockford, Ill. (+6.2 points). An additional 3 areas registered unemployment rate increases of 6.0 percentage points or more, and another 26 areas had increases of 5.0 to 5.9 points. While no metropolitan area posted an unemployment rate decrease, five areas reported rate increases of less than a full percentage point, the smallest of which was in Manhattan, Kan. (+0.5 point). Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., reported the highest unemployment rate in October, 16.7 percent. The large areas with the next highest rates were Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., 14.6 percent, and Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev., 13.0 percent. Fifteen additional large areas posted rates of 10.0 percent or more. The large areas with the lowest jobless rates in October were Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 6.2 percent, and Oklahoma City, Okla., and Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, Va.-N.C., 6.5 percent each. All 49 large areas registered over-the-year unemployment rate increases of at least 1.5 percentage points. Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., had the largest jobless rate increase from a

year earlier (+7.3 percentage points). The next largest rate increases occurred in Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev., and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. (+5.2 percentage points each), Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (+5.1 points), and Birmingham-Hoover, Ala. (+5.0 points). Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are composed of 34 metropolitan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers. In October, the two divisions that comprise the Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., metropolitan area registered the highest jobless rates: Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, 17.7 percent, and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, 16.0 percent. The division with the next highest rate was Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 13.2 percent. Bethesda-Frederick-Rockville, Md., reported the lowest unemployment rate among the divisions, 5.6 percent, followed by Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 6.3 percent. These two divisions make up the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., metropolitan area. (See table 2.) In October, all 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate increases of at least 1.9 percentage points. Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich., and Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., expe-rienced the largest rate increases (+7.5 and +7.0 percentage points, respectively). Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla., was the only other division to report an over-the-year rate increase of 5.0 percentage points or more (+5.2 points). In 5 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowest di-vision jobless rates were 2.0 percentage points or more in October. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., posted the largest rate difference among its divisions, 6.4 percentage points (Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 13.2 percent, compared with Framingham, Mass., 6.8 percent). Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In October, 361 metropolitan areas reported over-the-year decreases in nonfarm payroll employment and 8 reported increases. The largest over-the-year employment decrease was recorded in New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (-218,200), followed by Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. (-203,000) and Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. (-197,800). The largest over-the-year percentage losses in employment were reported in Kokomo, Ind. (-8.3 percent), Dalton, Ga., and Monroe, Mich. (-8.1 percent each), and Holland-Grand Haven, Mich. (-7.8 percent). (See table 3.) The largest over-the-year increases in employment occurred in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas (+4,400), Kennewick-Pasco-Richland, Wash. (+3,400), and Ocean City, N.J. (+2,700). The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment were reported in Ocean City, N.J. (+6.8 percent), Kennewick-Pasco-Richland, Wash. (+3.5 percent), and McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas (+2.0 percent). Over the year, nonfarm employment declined in all 38 metropolitan areas with annual average em-ployment levels above 750,000 in 2008. The largest over-the-year percentage decreases in employment in these large metropolitan areas were posted in Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-7.3 percent), Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-7.2 percent), and Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev. (-6.7 percent).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in October 2009 for 32 metropolitan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area. Thirty-one of the 32 metropolitan divisions reported over-the-year employment losses. The largest over-the-year decrease in the metropolitan divisions occurred in Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill. (-178,600), followed by Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (-151,000), New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (-140,600), and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich. (-99,600). Bethesda-Frederick-Rockville, Md., was the only metropolitan division to increase over the year (+1,800), which was a 0.3 percent gain. (See table 4.) The largest over-the-year percentage decrease in employment among the metropolitan divisions was reported in Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich. (-8.8 percent), followed by San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City, Calif. (-4.9 percent), and Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., and Wilmington, Del.-Md.-N.J. (-4.8 percent each). The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment news release for November is scheduled to be released on Friday, December 18, 2009, at 10:00 a.m. (EST). The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release for November is scheduled to be released on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (EST).

Technical Note

This release presents labor force and unemployment data from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1 and 2) for 372 metropolitan statistical areas and metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), plus 8 areas in Puerto Rico. Estimates for 34 metropolitan and NECTA divisions also are presented. Nonfarm payroll employment estimates from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program (tables 3 and 4) are provided for most of the same areas. State estimates were previously published in the news release, Regional and State Employment and Unemployment, and are republished in this release for ease of reference. The LAUS and CES programs are both federal-state cooperative endeavors.

Labor force and unemployment—from the LAUS program

Definitions. The labor force and unemployment data

are based on the same concepts and definitions as those used for the official national estimates obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a sample survey of households that is conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the U.S. Census Bureau. The LAUS program measures employment and unemployment on a place-of-residence basis. The universe for each is the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years of age and over. Employed persons are those who did any work at all for pay or profit in the reference week (the week including the 12th of the month) or worked 15 hours or more without pay in a family business or farm, plus those not working who had a job from which they were temporarily absent, whether or not paid, for such reasons as labor-management dispute, illness, or vacation. Unemployed persons are those who were not employed during the reference week (based on the definition above), had actively looked for a job sometime in the 4-week period ending with the reference week, and were currently available for work; persons on layoff expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. The labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons. The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percent of the labor force.

Method of estimation. Estimates for states, the District

of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, and New York City are produced using time-series models with real-time benchmarking to national CPS totals. Model-based estimation was extended to the following areas and their respective balances of state in 2005: the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, IL Metropolitan Division; Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area; Detroit-Warren-Livonia, MI Metropolitan Statistical Area; Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, FL Metropolitan Division; New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, LA Metropolitan Statistical Area; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA Metropolitan Division. (Model-based estimation of the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area was suspended following

Hurricane Katrina; the indirect estimation methods described below will be used for this area until further notice.) Modeling improves the statistical basis of the estimation for these areas and provides important tools for analysis, such as measures of errors and seasonally adjusted series. For all other substate areas in this release, estimates are prepared through indirect estimation procedures using a building-block approach. Employment estimates, which are based largely on “place of work” estimates from the CES program, are adjusted to refer to place of residence as used in the CPS. Unemployment estimates are aggregates of persons previously employed in industries covered by state unemployment insurance (UI) laws and entrants to the labor force data from the CPS. The substate estimates of employment and unemployment, which geographically exhaust the entire state, are adjusted proportionally to ensure that they add to the independently estimated state or balance-of-state totals. A detailed description of the estimation procedures is available from BLS upon request.

Annual revisions. Labor force and unemployment data

shown for the prior year reflect adjustments made at the end of each year, usually implemented with January estimates. The adjusted model-based estimates reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources, and model reestimation. All substate estimates are reestimated and adjusted to add to the revised model-based estimates.

Employment—from the CES program

Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on

establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay period that includes the 12th of the month. Persons are counted at their place of work rather than at their place of residence; those appearing on more than one payroll are counted on each payroll. Industries are classified on the basis of their principal activity in accordance with the 2007 version of the North American Industry Classification System.

Method of estimation. The employment data are

estimated using a “link relative” technique in which a ratio (link relative) of current-month employment to that of the previous month is computed from a sample of establishments reporting for both months. The estimates of employment for the current month are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these ratios. Small-domain models are used as the official estimators for the approximately 44 percent of CES published series which have insufficient sample for direct sample-based estimates.

Annual revisions. Employment estimates are adjusted

annually to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived principally from tax reports that are submitted by employers who are covered under state unemployment insurance (UI) laws. The benchmark information is used to

adjust the monthly estimates between the new benchmark and the preceding one and also to establish the level of employment for the new benchmark month. Thus, the benchmarking process establishes the level of employment, and the sample is used to measure the month-to-month changes in the level for the subsequent months. Reliability of the estimates

The estimates presented in this release are based on sample surveys, administrative data, and modeling and, thus, are subject to sampling and other types of errors. Sampling error is a measure of sampling variability—that is, variation that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire population is surveyed. Survey data also are subject to nonsampling errors, such as those which can be introduced into the data collection and processing operations. Estimates not directly derived from sample surveys are subject to additional errors resulting from the particular estimation processes used. The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals shown in the same tables because of rounding. Unemployment rates are computed from unrounded data and thus may differ slightly from rates computed using the rounded data displayed in the tables.

Labor force and unemployment estimates. Model-

based error measures are available for states on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. Measures of nonsampling error are not available, but additional information on the subject is provided in Employment and Earnings Online at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ee/home.htm.

Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error

for state CES data at the supersector level and for metro-

politan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are available online at http://www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Information on recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/sae/.

Area definitions The substate area data published in this release reflect

the standards and definitions established by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget on November 20, 2008. Data reflect New England City and Town Area (NECTA) definitions, rather than county-based definitions, in the six New England States. A detailed list of the geographic def-initions is available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.

Additional information More complete information on the technical procedures

used to develop these estimates and additional data appear in Employment and Earnings Online.

Estimates of unadjusted and seasonally adjusted labor force and unemployment data for states, census regions and divisions, and seven substate areas are available in the news release, Regional and State Employment and Unemployment. Estimates of labor force and unemployment for all states, metropolitan areas, labor market areas, counties, cities with a population of 25,000 or more, and other areas used in the administration of various federal economic assistance pro-grams are available on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/lau/. Employment data from the CES program are available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/sae/.
