    METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:  SEPTEMBER 2008

   Unemployment rates were higher in September than a year earlier in 
349 of the 369 metropolitan areas, lower in 14 areas, and unchanged 
in 6 areas, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor reported today.  Ten areas recorded jobless rates of at least
10.0 percent, while nine areas registered rates below 3.0 percent. The 
national unemployment rate in September was 6.0 percent, not seasonally 
adjusted, up from 4.5 percent a year earlier.
   
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   In September, 84 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at
least 7.0 percent, up from 17 areas a year earlier, while 46 areas
posted rates below 4.0 percent, down from 133 areas in September 2007.
El Centro, Calif., and neighboring Yuma, Ariz., continued to record 
the highest unemployment rates, 24.5 and 20.5 percent, respectively.
Joblessness in these two areas is typically higher during summer
months due to the effect of extreme heat on agricultural activity.
Bismarck, N.D., Casper, Wyo., Logan, Utah-Idaho, and Sioux Falls, S.D., 
registered the lowest jobless rates, 2.5 percent each.  Overall, 145 
areas posted unemployment rates above the U.S. figure of 6.0 percent, 
219 areas reported rates below it, and 5 areas had the same rate.  
(See table 1.)

   Elkhart-Goshen, Ind., recorded the largest jobless rate increase
from September 2007 (+5.1 percentage points).  This area has experi-
enced layoffs in transportation equipment manufacturing for several 
months.  Rocky Mount, N.C., had the next largest rate increase (+3.9 
points), followed closely by El Centro, Calif., and Yuma, Ariz. (+3.8 
points each).  Seventy-eight additional areas registered over-the-year 
unemployment rate increases of 2.0 percentage points or more, and 
another 179 areas had rate increases of 1.0 to 1.9 points.  Two Arkan-
sas areas experienced the largest jobless rate decreases from Septem-
ber 2007:  Jonesboro and Hot Springs (-1.0 and -0.8 percentage point, 
respectively).

                             - 2 


   Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 mil-
lion or more, Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., reported the 
highest unemployment rate in September 2008, 9.1 percent, followed by 
Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., at 8.3 percent.  Seven additional large 
areas posted rates of 7.0 percent or more.  Oklahoma City, Okla., regis-
tered the lowest jobless rate in September, 3.5 percent, and Washington-
Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., had the next lowest rate, 4.0 
percent.  Forty-seven large areas recorded higher unemployment rates 
than in September 2007, one reported a lower rate, and one had no change. 
The areas with the largest jobless rate increases from a year earlier 
were Providence-Fall River-Warwick, R.I.-Mass. (+3.2 percentage points), 
Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (+2.8 points), and Tampa-St. 
Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. (+2.5 points).  Twelve additional large 
areas posted over-the-year unemployment rate increases of 2.0 percent-
age points or more, and 28 other areas had rate increases of at least 
1.0 point.  The only large area to register a jobless rate decrease 
from a year earlier was Oklahoma City, Okla. (-0.5 percentage point).

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 September 2008, Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., 
again registered the highest division jobless rate, 9.6 percent, fol-
lowed by Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., at 8.5 percent.  Bethesda-
Frederick-Gaithersburg, Md., continued to report the lowest unemployment 
rate among the divisions, 3.4 percent.  Nashua, N.H.-Mass., posted the 
next lowest rate, 3.9 percent.  (See table 2.)

   In September, all 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year
jobless rate increases.  Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif., ex-
perienced the largest unemployment rate increase (+2.6 percentage
points).  West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach, Fla., registered
the next largest increase (+2.3 percentage points).  Two additional
divisions reported over-the-year rate increases of 2.0 percentage
points or more, and 21 others had increases of at least 1.0 point.

   In 6 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 September.  Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., 
posted the largest rate difference among its divisions, 4.6 percentage 
points (Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 8.5 percent, compared with 
Nashua, N.H.-Mass., 3.9 percent).

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Among the 310 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll data were 
available in September 2008, 140 areas reported over-the-year employ-
ment gains, 164 reported losses, and 6 had no change.  The largest 
over-the-year employment increase was recorded in Houston-Sugar Land-
Baytown, Texas (+55,700), followed by Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, 
Texas (+54,300), Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va. 
(+40,700), and Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. (+33,900).  The largest 
over-the-year percentage gain in employment was reported in Grand Junc-
tion, Colo. (+4.2 percent), followed by Laredo, Texas (+3.7 percent), 
Morgantown, W.Va. (+3.5 percent), McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas (+3.3 
percent), and Odessa, Texas (+3.0 percent).  (See table 3.)


                             - 3 -


   The largest over-the-year decreases in employment occurred in De-
troit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-57,800), Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa 
Ana, Calif. (-53,200), Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-43,200), At-
lanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, Ga. (-33,600), Miami-Fort Lauderdale-

percent), Dalton, Ga. (-3.5 percent), Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla.
(-3.4 percent), St. George, Utah (-3.3 percent), Hattiesburg, Miss. 
(-3.2 percent), and Janesville, Wis., and Naples-Marco Island, Fla. 
(-3.0 percent each).

   Over the year, nonfarm employment rose in 17 of the 38 metropoli-
tan areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2007.  
The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment were 
posted in Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas, and Virginia Beach-Nor-
folk-Newport News, Va.-N.C. (+2.2 percent each), San Antonio, Texas
(+2.1 percent), Austin-Round Rock, Texas, and Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue,

percent), and Charlotte-Gastonia-Concord, N.C.-S.C. (+1.6 percent).
Among these large areas, 21 reported over-the-year decreases in em-
ployment.  The largest over-the-year percentage decreases in employ-
ment were recorded in Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-2.9 percent), 
Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-2.3 percent), Tampa-St. Petersburg-
Clearwater, Fla. (-1.8 percent), and Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, 
Calif. (-1.6 percent).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in September 2008
for 32 metropolitan divisions, which are essentially separately iden-
tifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area.  Fifteen of 
the 32 metropolitan divisions reported over-the-year employment gains, 
while 17 reported losses.  The largest over-the-year employment gain 
in the metropolitan divisions occurred in Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas 
(+39,200), followed by Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-
W.Va. (+35,400), Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (+29,700), and New 
York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (+23,700).  Of the 17 metropolitan 
divisions that reported losses, the largest over-the-year employment 
decrease occurred in Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich. (-33,800), fol-
lowed by Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif. (-29,600), Warren-Troy-Farm-
ington Hills, Mich. (-24,000), Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif.
(-23,600), and Oakland-Fremont-Hayward, Calif. (-21,400).  (See 
table 4.)

   The largest over-the-year percentage increase in employment among
the metropolitan divisions was reported in Seattle-Bellevue-Everett,
Wash. (+2.0 percent), followed by Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas (+1.9
percent), Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+1.7 percent), and Tacoma,
Wash., and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va. (+1.5
percent each).  Of the metropolitan divisions that reported over-the-
year declines in employment, the largest decreases were in Detroit-
Livonia-Dearborn, Mich. (-4.3 percent), and Oakland-Fremont-Hayward,
Calif., Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif., and Warren-Troy-Farmington
Hills, Mich. (-2.0 percent each).

Technical Note

   This release presents labor force and unemployment data from the
Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1 and 2) for
369 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.
   


                                  - 6 -


   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.

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 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 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/.
Area definitions
   
   The substate area data published in this release reflect the stand-
ards and definitions established by the U.S. Office of Management and 
Budget on November 20, 2007.  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/.

  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 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. 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. Three 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
Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., and Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis., metropolitan areas, the division titles are similar
but include only Massachusetts and Illinois, respectively. Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the following month.

     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.  Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the

        NOTE:  Data are counts of jobs by place of work.  Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are
     provisional and will be revised when new information 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.  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.
