(EDT) Media contact: (202) 691-5902 Thursday, March 19, 2009 METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: JANUARY 2009 Unemployment rates were higher in January than a year earlier in 371 of the 372 metropolitan areas and unchanged in 1 area, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Fourteen areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 per- cent, while 23 areas registered rates below 5.0 percent. The na- tional unemployment rate in January was 8.5 percent, not seasonally adjusted, up from 5.4 percent a year earlier. Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In January, 89 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, up from 12 areas a year earlier, while 109 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, down from 320 areas in January 2008. El Centro, Calif., recorded the highest unemploy- ment rate, 24.2 percent. The areas with the next highest rates were Merced, Calif., 18.9 percent, and Elkhart-Goshen, Ind., 18.3 percent. Among the 14 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, 10 were located in California. Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, La., registered the lowest jobless rate, 3.7 percent in January. Overall, 157 areas posted unemployment rates above the U.S. figure of 8.5 percent, 209 areas reported rates below it, and 6 areas had the same rate. (See table 1.) Two manufacturing centers in Indiana recorded the largest jobless rate increases from January 2008, Elkhart-Goshen (+13.0 percentage points) and Kokomo (+8.9 points). An additional 12 areas registered over-the-year unemployment rate increases of 6.0 percentage points or more, and another 26 areas had rate increases of 5.0 to 5.9 points. Waterloo-Cedar Falls, Iowa, was the sole area without an over-the- year rate change. 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, 13.0 and 11.8 percent, respectively. Five additional large areas posted rates of 10.0 percent or more. The large area with the lowest jobless rate in January was Oklahoma City, Okla., 5.2 percent. All 49 large areas registered higher unemployment rates than in January 2008 by at least a full percentage point. Charlotte- Gastonia-Concord, N.C.-S.C., had the largest jobless rate increase from a year earlier (+5.2 percentage points), followed closely by Riverside- San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (+5.1 points). Nine additional large areas recorded over-the-year unemployment rate increases of 4.0 percent- age points or more, and 12 other areas had rate increases of at least 3.0 points. __________________________________________________________________ | | | Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment Data | | Series Changes | | | | In accordance with annual practices, historical data have been | |revised in tables 1 through 4 of this news release.

In January, the two divisions that comprise the Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., metropolitan area registered the high- est division jobless rates: Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, 14.2 percent, and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, 12.3 percent. The divisions with the next highest rates were Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 11.7 percent, and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif., 10.8 percent. Bethesda-Frederick-Rockville, Md., reported the lowest unemployment rate among the divisions, 4.8 percent. Nashua, N.H.-Mass., posted the next lowest rate, 5.6 percent. (See table 2.) In January, all 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate increases of at least 1.7 percentage points. Detroit- Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich., ex- perienced the largest rate increases (+5.1 and 4.8 percentage points, respectively). Five additional divisions reported over-the-year rate increases of 4.0 percentage points or more, and 10 others had increases of 3.0 points or more. In 7 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowest division jobless rates were 1.0 percent- age point or more in January. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., posted the largest rate difference among its divisions, 6.1 percentage points (Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 11.7 percent, compared with Nashua, N.H.-Mass., 5.6 percent). Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) Among the 310 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll data were available in January 2009, 254 metropolitan areas recorded over-the- year employment decreases, 55 reported gains, and 1 was unchanged. The largest over-the-year decreases in employment occurred in Los Angeles- Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. (-175,600), New York-Northern New Jersey- Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (-168,600), Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-141,700), Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-126,700), and Chicago- Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. (-116,300). The largest over-the- year percentage decreases in employment were recorded in Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (-12.3 percent), Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla. (-9.1 percent), Yuma, Ariz. (-8.9 percent), Prescott, Ariz. (-8.5 percent), and Dalton, Ga. (-7.6 percent). (See table 3.) The largest over-the-year employment increase was recorded in Houston- Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+17,200), followed by Oklahoma City, Okla. (+7,000), Austin-Round Rock, Texas (+6,600), Champaign-Urbana, Ill. (+4,700), and Anchorage, Alaska (+3,900).

(+4.3 percent), College Station-Bryan, Texas (+3.8 percent), Midland, Texas (+3.5 percent), and Grand Junction, Colo. (+3.0 percent). Over the year, nonfarm employment decreased in 35 of the 38 metropoli- tan areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2008. Among the large areas, the largest over-the-year percentage decrease in employment was experienced in Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-7.4 percent), followed by Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-6.7 percent), Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (-6.1 percent), and Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, Ohio, and Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev. (-4.2 percent each). The only large areas experiencing over-the-year percentage gains in employment were Austin-Round Rock, Texas (+0.9 percent), Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+0.7 percent), and San Antonio, Texas (+0.2 percent). - 3 - Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in January 2009 for 32 metropolitan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area. Thirty of the 32 metro- politan divisions reported over-the-year employment losses while 2 re- ported increases. The largest over-the-year employment decreases in the metropolitan divisions occurred in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (-111,000), Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill. (-106,000), Warren-Troy- Farmington Hills, Mich. (-92,000), New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (-83,900), and Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif. (-64,600). Of the 32 metropolitan divisions, the only 2 that reported gains in employment were Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va. (+2,800) and Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+2,700).

- 4 - 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 na- tional 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 per- cent 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" esti- mates 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 in- surance (UI) laws and entrants to the labor force data from the CPS. The substate estimates of employment and unemployment, which geograph- ically 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 avail- able 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 revi- sions in the other data sources, and model reestimation. All substate estimates are reestimated and 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 ver- sion 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 sam- ple of establishments reporting for both months. The estimates of em- ployment for the current month are obtained by multiplying the esti- mates 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 un- employment 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 employ- ment, 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 un- rounded 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 ad- ditional information on the subject is provided in Employment and Earn- ings 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 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/. - 6 - Area definitions The substate area data published in this release reflect the stan- dards 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 definitions 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 admini- stration of various federal economic assistance programs 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/. Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request.

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. 09-01, dated November 20, 2008, 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 2008 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.
