METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: MARCH 2009

Unemployment rates were higher in March than a year earlier in all 372 metropolitan areas, the

Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Eighteen areas recorded

jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 15 areas registered rates below 5.0 percent. The nationalunemployment rate in March was 9.0 percent, not seasonally adjusted, up from 5.2 percent a year

earlier. Among the 310 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll data were available, 282 areas

reported over-the-year declines in employment, 22 reported increases, and 6 had no change.

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

In March, 109 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, up from 14 areas a

year earlier, while 95 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, down from 329 areas in March 2008. El

Centro, Calif., recorded the highest unemployment rate, 25.1 percent. The areas with the next highest

rates were Merced, Calif., 20.4 percent; Yuba City, Calif., 19.5 percent; and Elkhart-Goshen, Ind., 18.8

percent. Among the 18 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, 12 were located in California.Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, La., and Iowa City, Iowa, registered the lowest jobless rates, 3.6 per-

cent each in March, followed closely by Ames, Iowa, at 3.7 percent. Overall, 158 areas posted unem-ployment rates above the U.S. figure of 9.0 percent, 209 areas reported rates below it, and 5 areas had

the same rate. (See table 1 and the map.)

Elkhart-Goshen, Ind., recorded the largest jobless rate increase from March 2008 (+13.0 percentage

points). The areas with the next largest over-the-year rate increases were Bend, Ore. (+9.2 percentage

points) and Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton, N.C. (+9.1 points). An additional 33 areas registered unem-ployment rate increases of 6.0 percentage points or more, and another 42 areas had rate increases of 5.0

to 5.9 points.

Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., and Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., reported the highest unemployment rates

in March, 14.0 and 12.9 percent, respectively. Nine additional large areas posted rates of 10.0 percent or

more. The large areas with the lowest jobless rates in March were New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La.,5.3 percent, and Oklahoma City, Okla., 5.6 percent. All 49 large areas registered over-the-year unem-

ployment rate increases of at least 1.9 percentage points. Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, Ore.-Wash.,

had the largest jobless rate increase from a year earlier (+6.5 percentage points), followed by Charlotte-Gastonia-Concord, N.C.-S.C. (+6.2 points) and Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (+6.0 points). Seven-

teen additional large areas recorded over-the-year unemployment rate increases of 4.0 percentage points

or more.

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 March, the two divisions that comprise

the Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., metropolitan area registered the highest jobless rates: Detroit-

Livonia-Dearborn, 14.9 percent, and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, 13.4 percent. The divisions withthe next highest rates were Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 12.2 percent, and Los Angeles-Long

Beach-Glendale, Calif., 11.3 percent. Bethesda-Frederick-Rockville, Md., reported the lowest unem-

ployment rate among the divisions, 5.2 percent. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., posted the next lowest rate, 6.1 percent. (See table 2.)

In March, all 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate increases of at least 2.5percentage points. Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich., experi-

enced the largest rate increases (+6.0 percentage points each). Eleven additional divisions reported

over-the-year rate increases of 4.0 percentage points or more.

In 4 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowest

division jobless rates were 2.0 percentage points or more in March. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-

N.H., posted the largest rate difference among its divisions, 5.7 percentage points (Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 12.2 percent, compared with Framingham, Mass., 6.5 percent).

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

In March, of the 310 metropolitan areas for which data were available, 282 areas reported over-the-year declines in employment, while 22 reported increases. Six metropolitan areas had no change. The

largest over-the-year decreases in employment were reported in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana,

Calif. (-221,300), New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (-219,700), Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. (-157,600), Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-136,000), and Detroit-

Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-135,300). The largest over-the-year percentage decreases in employment

occurred in Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (-12.9 percent), Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla. (-9.7 percent), Yuma,Ariz. (-9.5 percent), and Dalton, Ga. (-8.6 percent).

The largest over-the-year increase was recorded in Austin-Round Rock, Texas (+3,300), followed

by Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood, Texas (+2,300), Champaign-Urbana, Ill. (+2,200), and Odessa, Texas(+2,100). The largest over-the-year percentage gains were experienced in Odessa, Texas (+3.4 percent),

Midland, Texas (+2.3 percent), and Grand Junction, Colo. (+2.0 percent). (See table 3.)

Over the year, nonfarm employment fell in 37 of the 38 metropolitan areas with annual averageemployment levels above 750,000 in 2008. The largest over-the-year percentage declines in employ-

ment in these large areas were posted in Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., and Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale,Ariz. (-7.1 percent each), Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (-6.6 percent), and Charlotte-

Gastonia-Concord, N.C.-S.C. (-6.1 percent). For the second consecutive month, Austin-Round Rock,

Texas, was the only one of these metropolitan areas to record an over-the-year increase (+3,300 or +0.4

percent).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

In March 2009, nonfarm payroll employment data were available for 32 metropolitan divisions,

which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area. Thirty-one

of the 32 divisions recorded over-the-year employment decreases while 1 area reported an increase. Thebiggest losses were seen in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (-149,400), Chicago-Naperville-

Joliet, Ill. (-142,700), New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (-121,000), and Warren-Troy-

Farmington Hills, Mich. (-91,500). (See table 4.) For the second consecutive month, Bethesda-

Frederick-Rockville, Md., was the sole metropolitan division reporting an over-the-year increase inemployment (+1,200).

The largest over-the-year percentage decrease in employment among metropolitan divisions wasreported in Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich. (-8.0 percent), followed by Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn,

Mich. (-5.7 percent), Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif. (-4.8 percent), and Fort Lauderdale-Pompano

Beach-Deerfield Beach, Fla., Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla., and West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach, Fla. (-4.7 percent each). For the second consecutive month, Bethesda-Frederick-

Rockville, Md., was the only metropolitan division to post an over-the-year percentage increase in

employment (+0.2 percent).

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, Regionaland State

Employment andUnemployment, and are republished in this

release for ease of reference. The LAUS and CES programs

are both federal-state cooperative endeavors.

Labor force and unemploymentfrom 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. Employedpersons 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 employedduring 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 nationalCPS 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.

Employmentfrom the CES program

Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on

establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part of thepay 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 estimatesfor 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


5/20

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 onsample surveys, administrative data, and modeling and, thus,

are subject to sampling and other types of errors. Sampling

error is a measure of sampling variabilitythat 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 ratescomputed 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 definitionsThe 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

. Datareflect 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 informationMore 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 andState 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/.
