       METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:  JANUARY 2008


   Unemployment rates were higher in January than a year earlier in 234 of
the 369 metropolitan areas, lower in 111 areas, and unchanged in 24 areas,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported
today.  Twelve areas, 10 of which are located in California, recorded job-
less rates of at least 10.0 percent.  Seven areas registered rates below
3.0 percent.  The national unemployment rate in January was 5.4 percent,
not seasonally adjusted, up from 5.0 percent a year earlier.

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   In January, 55 metropolitan areas reported unemployment rates of at
least 7.0 percent, up from 46 areas a year earlier, while 49 areas posted
rates below 4.0 percent, down from 77 areas in January 2007.  Two agricul-
tural areas in California registered the highest rates in January 2008:
El Centro, 16.5 percent, and Merced, 13.3 percent.  Logan, Utah-Idaho, had
the lowest jobless rate, 2.4 percent.  Overall, 204 areas recorded unemploy-
ment rates below the U.S. figure of 5.4 percent, 149 areas had higher rates,
and 16 areas had the same rate.  (See table 1.)

   Two Florida areas, Cape Coral-Fort Myers and Punta Gorda, registered the
largest unemployment rate increases from a year earlier (+2.7 and +2.6 per-
centage points, respectively).  Bend, Ore., and Kankakee-Bradley, Ill., had
the next largest rate increases (+2.1 percentage points each).  Thirty-eight
additional areas recorded jobless rate increases of 1.0 percentage point or
more from January 2007.  Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss., an area severely affected
by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005, reported the largest over-the-year job-
less rate decrease in January 2008 (-1.2 percentage points), followed by two
areas in New Mexico, Farmington and Las Cruces (-1.0 point each).

   Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or
more, Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., continued to record the highest unemploy-
ment rate, 8.2 percent in January.  The areas posting the next highest rates
were Providence-Fall River-Warwick, R.I.-Mass., 7.1 percent, and Riverside-
San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., 6.7 percent.  Washington-Arlington-Alexandria,
D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., again reported the lowest jobless rate among the large
areas, 3.5 percent.  Austin-Round Rock, Texas, and Birmingham-Hoover, Ala.,
had the next lowest rates, 3.9 percent each.  Thirty-four large areas recorded
higher unemployment rates than in January 2007, 10 posted lower rates, and 5
had no change.  Among the large areas, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario,
Calif., had the largest over-the-year jobless rate increase (+1.3 percentage
points), followed by Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. (+1.1 points), and
Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev., and Providence-Fall River-Warwick, R.I.-Mass. (+1.0
point each).  Louisville-Jefferson County, Ky.-Ind., registered the largest
unemployment rate decrease from January 2007 to January 2008  (-0.9 percent-
age point).

Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are composed of 34 metropoli-
tan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers.
In January 2008, the division with the highest unemployment rate again was
Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., 9.1 percent.  The divisions reporting the next
highest rates were Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 7.6 percent, and Warren-
Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich., 7.5 percent.  Bethesda-Frederick-Gaithersburg, Md.,
reported the lowest January jobless rate among the divisions, 2.9 percent.  Four
additional divisions registered rates below 4.0 percent.  (See table 2.)


                                    - 2 -


   In January, 19 of the 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year unem-
ployment rate increases, 14 had rate decreases, and 1 had a rate unchanged from
that of January 2007.  The divisions with the largest jobless rate increases were
Lake County-Kenosha County, Ill.-Wis. (+1.2 percentage points), and Los Angeles-
Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (+1.0 point).  Gary, Ind., registered the largest job-
less rate decline among the divisions from a year earlier (-0.8 percentage point).

   In 7 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between 
the highest and lowest division jobless rates were 1.0 percentage point or more
in January 2008.  The metropolitan area that had the largest rate difference among
its divisions, 3.7 percentage points, was Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H.
(Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 7.6 percent, compared with Nashua, N.H.-Mass.,
3.9 percent).

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Among the 310 metropolitan areas for which January nonfarm payroll data are
available, 251 reported over-the-year increases in employment, 57 reported de-
creases, and 2 had no change.  The largest over-the-year employment increase was
posted in Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+95,300), followed by Dallas-Fort
Worth-Arlington, Texas (+83,500), New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-
N.J.-Pa. (+77,400), and Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. (+47,600).  The largest
over-the-year percentage increases in employment were reported in Kennewick-Pasco-
Richland, Wash. (+6.7 percent), Coeur d`Alene, Idaho (+6.4 percent), Florence,
S.C (+5.9 percent), Grand Junction, Colo. (+5.4 percent), and Odessa, Texas (+5.1
percent).  (See table 3.)

   The largest over-the-year decrease in employment occurred in Detroit-Warren-
Livonia, Mich. (-29,700), followed by Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif.
(-17,100), Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. (-11,700), Bradenton-Sarasota-
Venice, Fla. (-11,100), and Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla. (-10,800).  The largest
over-the-year percentage decreases in employment were reported in Naples-Marco
Island, Fla. (-4.8 percent), followed by Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla. (-4.6 per-
cent), Bradenton-Sarasota-Venice, Fla. (-3.7 percent), Flint, Mich. (-3.6 per-
cent), Saginaw-Saginaw Township North, Mich. (-3.2 percent), Jackson, Mich.
(-2.3 percent), and Blacksburg-Christiansburg-Radford, Va. (-2.0 percent).

   Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 32 of the 38 metropolitan areas
with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2007.  The largest over-the-
year percentage increases in employment in these large metropolitan areas were re-
corded in Austin-Round Rock, Texas (+4.2 percent), Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas
(+3.9 percent), San Antonio, Texas (+3.0 percent), Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas
(+2.9 percent), Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. (+2.8 percent), Charlotte-Gastonia-
Concord, N.C.-S.C. (+2.2 percent), and Denver-Aurora, Colo., and Kansas City, Mo.-
Kan. (+2.0 percent each).  Among the largest metropolitan areas, the largest over-
the-year percentage decreases in nonfarm employment were reported in Detroit-Warren-
Livonia, Mich. (-1.5 percent), Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. (-0.9 percent),
Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (-0.6 percent), and Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor,
Ohio, and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. (-0.3 percent each).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in January 2008 for 32 metropoli-
tan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers
within a metropolitan area.  Twenty-two of the 32 metropolitan divisions reported
over-the-year increases in employment and 10 reported losses.  The largest over-the-
year increases in nonfarm employment for the metropolitan divisions occurred in New
York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (+64,800), Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas (+60,000),
Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (+38,100), Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-
Md.-W.Va. (+28,800), Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill. (+24,200), Fort Worth-Arlington,
Texas (+23,500), Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H. (+22,000), and San Francisco-San
Mateo-Redwood City, Calif. (+20,900).  The largest over-the-year declines in nonfarm
employment were recorded in Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich. (-17,200), Santa Ana-
Anaheim-Irvine, Calif. (-13,000), Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich. (-12,500), Los
Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (-4,100), and Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-
Deerfield Beach, Fla. (-3,700).  (See table 4.)

                                   - 3 -

(+3.0 percent), Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+2.8 percent), Seattle-Bellevue-Everett,
Wash. (+2.7 percent), and San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City, Calif. (+2.2 percent).
The largest over-the-year employment declines among metropolitan divisions were seen
in Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich. (-2.2 percent), Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich.
(-1.1 percent), Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif. (-0.9 percent), Fort Lauderdale-Pom-
pano Beach-Deerfield Beach, Fla. (-0.5 percent), and Bethesda-Frederick-Gaithersburg,

   |   The metropolitan area and division labor force and unemployment estimates  |
   |presented in tables 1 and 2 of this release have been revised for 2007 to in- |
   |corporate updated inputs and to reflect new state totals.  Estimates on the   |
   |BLS Web site have not been revised and do not match the estimates for January |
   |or December 2007 in this release.  Revised substate data for 2007 and earlier |
   |years will be released on April 18.                                           |
   |                                                                              |
   |   Effective with this release, all nonfarm payroll employment estimates for  |
   |states, metropolitan areas, and metropolitan divisions presented in tables 3  |
   |and 4 of this release have been revised to reflect 2007 benchmark levels.  Not|
   |seasonally adjusted data for states, areas, and divisions were revised back to|
   |April 2006.  For more information on benchmark procedures, see http://www.    |
   |bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm.                                                    |

   |   Also effective with this release, the titles of several metropolitan areas |
   |and divisions have been changed to reflect updates in Office of Management    |
   |and Budget Bulletin No. 08-01, issued on November 20, 2007.  For specific     |
   |information on title and definition changes, see the above-mentioned bulle-   |

   |   In addition, nonfarm payroll data reflect conversion to the 2007 North     |
   |American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the assign-  |
   |ment and tabulation of economic data by industry, replacing NAICS 2002.  This |
   |resulted in minor changes to several detailed state industry series.  Not     |
   |seasonally adjusted data series affected by the NAICS 2007 conversion were    |
   |subject to revision from January 1990 forward.  For more information on the   |
   |update to NAICS 2007, see http://www.bls.gov/sae/saenaics07.htm.              |

   |   Effective with the release of January 2008 data, BLS has discontinued pub- |
   |lication of all metropolitan area hours and earnings series from the Current  |
   |Employment Statistics survey.  In addition, all nonfarm employment series for |
   |65 small metropolitan areas have been discontinued.   These cutbacks are being|
   |implemented to accommodate a reduction in funding to the BLS that resulted    |
   |from The 2008 Consolidated Appropriations Act enacted on December 26, 2007.   |

    |   For January, BLS and its state partners continued to make modifications   |
    |to the usual estimation procedures for the LAUS program to reflect the impact|
    |of Hurricane Katrina on the labor force statistics in affected areas.  These |
    |modifications included:  (1) modifying the state population controls to ac-  |
    |count for displacement due to Katrina; (2) developing labor force estimates  |
    |for the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area using an alternative to|
    |the model-based method; and (3) not publishing labor force estimates for the |
    |parishes within the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area or cities  |
    |within those parishes where the quality of input data was severely compro-   |
    |mised by the hurricane.                                                      |

Technical Note


   This release presents labor force and unemployment data from the 
Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1 and 2)
for 377 metropolitan statistical areas and metropolitan New England
City and Town Areas (NECTAs), including those in Puerto Rico.  Esti-
mates for over 30 metropolitan and NECTA divisions also are presented.
Nonfarm payroll employment estimates from the Current Employment Statis-
tics (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 Statis-
tics (BLS) by the U.S. Census Bureau.  The labor force includes both the
employed and the unemployed.  Employed persons are those who did any work
at all for pay or profit in the survey 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 did not work at all (in the reference week), had actively looked for
a job (sometime in the 4-week period ending with the survey reference
week), and were currently available for work; persons on layoff expecting
recall need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed.

   Method of estimation.  Effective January 2005, estimates for all census
divisions, states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-
Glendale metropolitan division, and New York City were produced using up-
dated time-series models with real-time benchmarking.  Model-based estima-
tion was extended to the following areas and the respective balances-of-
state:  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 Metropol-
itan Division; New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, LA Metropolitan Statistical
Area; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA Metropolitan Division.  This will
improve the statistical basis of the estimation for these areas and pro-
vide important tools for analysis, such as measures of error and season-
ally adjusted series.  For all other substate areas, estimates are pre-
pared through indirect estimation procedures.  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 (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 estimates reflect updated population
data from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources,
and model reestimation at the state and selected area level.  All substate
area estimates are adjusted to add to the revised model-based estimates.

                                  - 5 -

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 Classifi-
cation System.

   Method of estimation.  The employment data are estimated using a "link
relative" technique in which a ratio (link relative) of current-month em-
ployment to that of the previous month is computed from a sample of estab-
lishments 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 esti-
mators 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 com-
plete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived principally from tax reports
that are submitted by employers who are covered under state 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 em-
ployment for the new benchmark month.  Thus, the benchmarking process estab-
lishes 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 survey and
administrative data and thus are subject to sampling and other types of
errors.  Sampling error is a measure of sampling variability--that is, vari-
ation that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire popula-
tion 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 special estimation processes used.
The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals shown in the
same tables because of rounding.  With respect to the LAUS program, unem-
ployment rates are computed from unrounded data rather than from data
that may be displayed in the tables; differences, however, are generally
insignificant.

   Labor force and unemployment estimates.  Model-based error measures, in-
cluding for over-the-month change, 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 metropolitan area CES data at the total nonfarm
level are available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.
htm.  Information on recent benchmark revisions for states is available 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, 2007.  A detailed list of the geographic definitions is avail-
able on the Internet 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 unemploy-
ment data for states, census regions and divisions, and eight areas are avail-
able in the news release, Regional and State Employment and Unemployment.  Es-
timates of labor force and unemployment for all states, metropolitan areas,
labor market areas, counties, cities with a population of 25,000 or more, and

   1 Area boundaries do not reflect official OMB definitions.
   NOTE:  Data refer to place of residence.  Data for Puerto Rico are derived from a monthly household survey similar to
the Current Population Survey.  Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 08-01, dated
November 20, 2007, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.  Areas in the six New England states are Metro-
politan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas in other states are county-based.  Some metropolitan areas
lie in two or more states.  They are listed under the state that appears first in their titles.  Davenport-Moline-Rock
Island, Iowa-Ill., and Weirton-Steubenville, W.Va-Ohio, are the exceptions in that they are listed under Illinois and Ohio,
respectively, for operational reasons.  Data for 2007 have been revised to incorporate updated inputs and adjustments to
new state controls.  Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the following month.

   1 These 11 areas contain all of the 34 metropolitan divisions. 
   2 Part of the area (or division) is in one or more adjacent states.
   3 All of the division is in one or more adjacent states.
   NOTE:  Data refer to place of residence.  Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No.
08-01, dated November 20, 2007, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.  Areas in the six New England
states are Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas in other states are county-based.  Some
metropolitan areas lie in two or more states.  They are listed under the state that corresponds to the first city in
their title.  Metropolitan divisions are listed under their metropolitan areas.  Some divisions lie in more than one
state, and some, like Camden, N.J., are totally outside the states under which their metropolitan areas are listed.  Two
sets of metropolitan areas and divisions have similar or identical titles.  For Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-
Md.-W.Va., the metropolitan area and division titles are identical.  For the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis.,
metropolitan area, the division title is similar but includes only Illinois.  Data for 2007 have been revised to incor-
pporate updated inputs and adjustments to new state controls.  Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the
following month.

         NOTE:  Data are counts of jobs by place of work.  Data have been revised to reflect 2007 benchmark
     levels.  Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are provisional and will be revised when new infor-
     mation becomes available.  Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 08-01,
     dated November 20, 2007, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.  Areas in the six New
     England states are Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas in other states are
     county-based.  Some metropolitan areas lie in two or more states.  They are listed under the state that
     appears first in their titles.  Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill., and Weirton-Steubenville, W. Va.-
     Ohio, are the exceptions in that they are listed under Illinois and Ohio, respectively, for operational
     reasons. Data reflect the conversion to the 2007 version of the North American Industry Classification Sys-
     tem (NAICS) as the basis for the assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry, replacing NAICS 2002.

        NOTE:  Data are counts of jobs by place of work.  Data have been revised to reflect 2007 benchmark levels.
     Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are provisional and will be revised when new information be-
     comes available.  Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 08-01, dated
     November 20, 2007, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.  Areas in the six New England
     states are Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas in other states are county-
     based.  Some metropolitan areas lie in two or more states.  They are listed under the state that appears first
     in their titles.  Some divisions lie in more than one state, and some, like Camden, N.J., are totally outside
     the states under which their metropolitan areas are listed.  Data reflect the conversion to the 2007 version
     of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the assignment and tabulation of
     economic data by industry, replacing NAICS 2002.  For more details, see http://www.bls.gov/sae/saenaics07.htm.
