NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are preliminary and will be revised when new information becomes available. Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 23-01, dated July 21, 2023, and are available on the BLS website at https://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm. Some metropolitan areas lie in two or more states. They are listed under the state containing the first principal city. Metropolitan divisions are listed under their metropolitan areas. Some divisions lie in more than one state, and some, like Camden, NJ, are totally outside the states under which their metropolitan areas are listed. For Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell, GA, the metropolitan area and division titles are identical. Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the following month.
