                               DALLAS-FORT WORTH-AREA EMPLOYMENT, APRIL 2009
                               Rate of Job Loss Slower than National Average

     Total nonfarm employment in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area stood at 
2,937,100 in April 2009, down 49,500 or 1.7 percent, from April 2008, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the 
U.S. Department of Labor reported today.  During the same period, the national job count decreased 3.8 percent.  
Regional Commissioner Stanley W. Suchman noted that this was the fourth consecutive month of over-the-year job 
losses following nearly five years of expansion in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.  (See chart A and table 1; 
Technical Note at end of release contains metropolitan area definitions.  All data in this release are not 
seasonally adjusted; accordingly, over-the-year analysis is used throughout.) 


          Chart A.  Total nonfarm employment, over-the-year net change in the Dallas metropolitan
          area and its divisions, January 2001-April 2009
          


     The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area is comprised of two metropolitan divisions 
-- separately identifiable employment centers within the larger metropolitan area.  In the Dallas-Plano-Irving 
Metropolitan Division, which accounted for 70 percent of the greater metropolitan area’s workforce, employment 
fell by 42,900 from April a year ago.  The Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Division, which accounted for the 
remaining 30 percent of the area workforce, lost 6,600 jobs during the same 12-month period.


Industry employment
     In the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area, seven supersectors experienced over-the-year 
declines.  The professional and business services supersector reported the largest employment decrease, down 
25,100 from April 2008.  Losses were experienced in both Dallas-Plano-Irving and Fort Worth-Arlington, but the 
rate of decline was much sharper in the Dallas-Plano-Irving metropolitan division (down 6.7 and 1.4 percent, 
respectively).  In the greater Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area, the losses in this supersector represented a 
5.6-percent decline from last year; nationwide, jobs in professional and business services were down 6.4 
percent.  (See table 1 and chart B.)

     Locally, trade, transportation, and utilities lost 12,400 jobs over the year, a decline of 2.0 percent, 
with both metropolitan divisions contributing to the industry's loss.  Nationwide, employment in this industry 
declined 4.7 percent.  

     Other supersectors recording job losses on an annual basis included: manufacturing (-9,700); mining, 
logging, and construction (-8,300); other services (-7,700); financial activities (-5,000); and information 
(-3,400).

     In contrast, over-the-year job gains in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area were limited to 
two supersectors.  Education and health services experienced the largest increase adding 15,400 jobs over the 
year, a gain of 4.7 percent; this was more than twice the national growth rate of 2.2 percent.  Both 
metropolitan divisions contributed to the advance.

     Government employment rose by 7,600 in the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area from April a year 
ago, with most of the growth, 6,900, occurring in the Dallas-Plano-Irving division.  The 2.6-percent increase 
in government jobs in the Dallas division was almost four times the national rate of growth in the public 
sector.

          United States and the Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area, April 2009
          




Employment in the 12 largest areas
     The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington area was 1 of the nation’s 12 largest metropolitan statistical areas in 
April 2009.  All 12 of these areas experienced over-the-year job losses.  (See chart C and table 2.)  
Nationally, employment fell 3.8 percent from April 2008 to April 2009.

     Six of the 12 areas -- Detroit-Warren-Livonia (-7.5 percent), Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta (-5.1
percent), Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana (-4.3 percent), Chicago-Naperville-Joliet (-4.2 percent), and
Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach and San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont (-4.1 percent each) -- experienced 
employment losses steeper than the national rate of decline.

     Six other metropolitan areas had a percentage loss in jobs that fell below the nation average.  Three of 
these areas, all located in the Northeast, experienced declines in the 3.2- to 2.7-percent range -- Philadelphia-
Camden-Wilmington, Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, and New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island.  Percentage losses in 
the remaining areas of Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington (-1.7 percent), Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown (-1.4 percent), 
and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria (-1.0 percent) were considerably smaller.

     Two metropolitan areas experienced employment declines of over 200,000 from April a year ago, Los Angeles 
(-240,500) and New York (-234,400).  Another three areas (Chicago, Detroit, and Atlanta) had job losses of 
120,000 or more. Job losses were heaviest in the professional and business services industry in 8 of the 12 
largest areas.

                                               Technical Note

     This release presents nonfarm payroll employment estimates from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) 
program.  The CES survey is a Federal-State cooperative endeavor in which State employment security agencies 
prepare the data using concepts, definitions, and technical procedures prescribed by the Bureau of Labor 
Statistics.

     Employment Definition.  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 specific estimation processes used. The sums of 
individual items may not always equal the totals shown in the same tables because of rounding.  

     Employment estimates.  Measures of sampling error are available for state CES data at the total nonfarm 
and supersector level and for metropolitan area CES data.  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 November 20, 2008.  A detailed list of geographic 
definitions is available at www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.

     The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) includes Collin, Dallas, Delta,
     Denton, Ellis, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant, and Wise Counties in Texas.
     
     The Dallas-Plano-Irving Metropolitan Division (MD) includes Collin, Dallas, Delta, Denton, Ellis, Hunt, 
     Kaufman, and Rockwall Counties in Texas.

     The Fort Worth-Arlington Metropolitan Division (MD) includes Johnson, Parker, Tarrant, and Wise Counties 
     in Texas.
