METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT – JANUARY 2010 Unemployment rates were higher in January than a year earlier in 363 of the 372 metropolitan areas, lower in 7 areas, and unchanged in 2 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Thirty-five areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 2 areas registered rates below 5.0 per-cent. The national unemployment rate in January was 10.6 percent, not seasonally adjusted, up from 8.5 percent a year earlier. Among the 371 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll data were available, 346 areas reported over-the-year decreases in employment, 24 reported increases, and 1 re-mained unchanged. Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In January, 187 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, up from 86 areas a year earlier, while 38 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, down from 107 areas in January 2009. Three areas in California registered the highest unemployment rates: El Centro, 27.3 percent; Merced, 21.7 percent; and Yuba City, 20.8 percent. Among the 35 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, 15 were lo-cated in California and 6 were in Michigan. Fargo, N.D.-Minn., and Bismarck, N.D., registered the low-est unemployment rates in January, 4.8 and 4.9 percent, respectively. Overall, 159 areas recorded unem-ployment rates above the U.S. figure of 10.6 percent, 210 areas reported rates below it, and 3 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and the map.) Rockford, Ill., registered the largest jobless rate increase from January 2009 (+5.8 percentage points). The areas with the next largest rate increases were Peoria, Ill., and Steubenville-Weirton, Ohio-W.Va.

(+5.5 percentage points each); Decatur, Ill. (+5.2 points); and Farmington, N.M. (+5.1 points). All five areas experienced job losses in the goods-producing sector over the year. Six additional areas recorded jobless rate increases of 4.0 percentage points or more. Kokomo, Ind., reported the largest over-the-year jobless rate decrease in January (-4.1 percentage points), followed by Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (-3.6 points). Both of these areas had unemployment rate increases of greater than 10.0 percentage points between January 2008 and January 2009. Five other areas posted over-the-year unemployment rate decreases, all of which were less than 1.0 percentage point. 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 January, 15.6 and 15.0 percent, respectively. Twenty-three additional large areas posted rates of 10.0 percent or more. The large areas with the lowest jobless rates in January were Oklahoma City, Okla., and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 6.7 and 6.9 percent, respectively. All 49 large areas registered over-the-year unemployment rate increases, the largest of which occurred in three Florida areas: Jacksonville (+3.7 percentage points) and Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater (+3.6 points each). 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 January, the two divisions that comprise the Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., metropolitan area registered the highest jobless rates: Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, 16.4 percent, and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, 15.0 percent. The division with the next highest rate was Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 14.6 percent. Bethesda-Rockville-Frederick, Md., reported the lowest unemployment rate among the divisions, 6.4 percent, followed by Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 7.1 percent. These two divisions make up the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., metropolitan area. (See table 2.) In January, all 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate increases of at least 1.0 per-centage point. Lake County-Kenosha County, Ill.-Wis., and West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach, Fla., experienced the largest rate increases (+4.0 and +3.5 percentage points, respectively). Four other divisions had rate increases of 3.0 percentage points or more: Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill., Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-Deerfield Beach, Fla., and Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H. (+3.2 points each), and Oakland-Fremont-Hayward, Calif. (+3.0 points). In 5 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowest divi-sion jobless rates were 2.0 percentage points or more in January. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., posted the largest rate difference among its divisions, 6.7 percentage points (Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 14.6 percent, compared with Nashua, N.H.-Mass., 7.9 percent). Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In January, among the 371 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll data were available, 346 areas reported over-the-year decreases in nonfarm payroll employment, 24 reported increases, and 1 remained unchanged. The largest over-the-year employment decrease was recorded in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. (-248,600), followed by New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (-224,200), Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. (-174,700), and San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Calif. (-103,100). The largest over-the-year percentage losses in employment were reported in Odessa,

(+3.6 percent), Sandusky, Ohio (+3.1 percent), Kokomo, Ind. (+2.4 percent), and Bismarck, N.D. (+2.0 percent). Over the year, nonfarm employment declined in all 36 metropolitan areas with annual average em-ployment levels above 750,000 in 2009. The largest over-the-year percentage decreases in employment in these large metropolitan areas were posted in Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev. (-7.3 percent), Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (-6.3 percent), Phoenix-Mesa-Glendale, Ariz. (-5.5 percent), and San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Calif. (-5.3 percent). Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in January 2010 for 32 metropolitan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area. All 32 metropol-itan divisions reported over-the-year employment losses. The largest over-the-year employment de-crease in the metropolitan divisions occurred in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (-176,500), followed by Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill. (-149,900), New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (-140,300), and Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif. (-72,100). (See table 4.)

Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data

Effective with the release of 2009 annual average estimates on March 3, the labor force data for all states, the District of Columbia, and the seven substate modeled areas presented in tables 1 and 2 of this news release were revised to incorporate updated inputs, updated popu-lation controls, reestimation of models, and adjustment to new census division and national control totals. The updated population controls reflect the annual updating of population esti-mates by the U.S. Census Bureau. Labor force estimates for all other metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions subsequently will be revised to reflect updated inputs, reestimation, and the new statewide estimates. Data back to 2005 are subject to revision. Effective with this release, the titles of several metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions were changed to reflect updates in Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 10-02, issued on December 1, 2009. For specific information on title and definition changes, see the above mentioned bulletin, available at www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm, or call (202) 691-6392.

Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data

All nonfarm payroll estimates for states, metropolitan areas, and metropolitan divisions pre-sented in tables 3 and 4 of this release have been revised to reflect 2009 benchmark levels. Not seasonally adjusted data for states, areas, and divisions were revised back to April 2008 and seasonally adjusted data are subject to revision back to January 1990. For more infor-mation on benchmark procedures, see www.bls.gov/sae/benchmark2010.pdf. Also effective with this release, three metropolitan areas have been added to table 3: Man-hattan, Kan.; Mankato-North Mankato, Minn.; and Cape Girardeau-Jackson, Mo.-Ill. How-ever, data for Manhattan, Kan., are not available at this time. Historical data back to 1990 are available for the other two areas. In addition, the titles of several metropolitan areas and divisions have been changed to reflect updates in Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 10-02, issued on December 1, 2009.

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-Joliet-Naperville, 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 39 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 Internet at 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 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 www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Information on recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the BLS Web site at 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 December 1, 2009. 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 definitions is available at 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 www.bls.gov/lau/. Employment data from the CES program are available on the BLS Web site at www.bls.gov/sae/.
