METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — AUGUST 2011

Unemployment rates were lower in August than a year earlier in 262 of the 372 metropolitan areas,higher in 84 areas, and unchanged in 26 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Nine

areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 10 areas registered rates of less than 5.0percent. Two hundred thirty-eight metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarmpayroll employment, 127 reported decreases, and 7 had no change. The national unemployment rate in

August was 9.1 percent, not seasonally adjusted, down from 9.5 percent a year earlier.

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

In August, 100 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, down from 119 areas a

year earlier, while 74 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, up from 55 areas in August 2010. El Centro,Calif., and Yuma, Ariz., recorded the highest unemployment rates in August 2011, 32.4 and 29.4

percent, respectively. All of the remaining seven areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent were

located in California. Bismarck, N.D., registered the lowest unemployment rate, 3.0 percent. The areaswith the next lowest rates were Lincoln, Neb., and Fargo, N.D.-Minn., 3.6 and 3.9 percent, respectively.

A total of 217 areas recorded August unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 9.1 percent, 149

areas reported rates above it, and 6 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and the map.)

The largest over-the-year unemployment rate decrease in August was registered in Farmington, N.M.

percentage points). Three other areas had increases of 1.0 percentage point or more from a year earlier.



Twelve other large areas reported rate decreases of at least 1.0 percentage point. The large area with the

largest over-the-year jobless rate increase was Memphis, Tenn.-Miss.-Ark. (+0.5 percentage point).

Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are made up of 34 metropolitan divisions, which are

essentially separately identifiable employment centers. In August 2011, Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn,

Mich., registered the highest jobless rate among the divisions, 14.4 percent. Framingham, Mass.,

reported the lowest division rate, 5.3 percent. (See table 2.)

Twenty-nine of the metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate decreases in August, three

of 1.0 percentage point or more. Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill., experienced the largest unemployment

rate increase from a year earlier (+0.7 percentage point).

In 6 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowest

division jobless rates were 2.0 percentage points or more in August. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., recorded the largest rate difference among its divisions, 5.8 percentage points (Lawrence-

Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 11.1 percent, compared with Framingham, Mass., 5.3 percent).

The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment news release for September is scheduled

to be released on Friday, October 21, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Metropolitan Area

Employment and Unemployment news release for September is scheduled to be released on

Wednesday, November 2, 2011, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).



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 programsare 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 thatis 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 theywere 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 percent

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

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” 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 stateunemployment insurance (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 datashown 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 revisions

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 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



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-monthchanges in the level for the subsequent months.

Reliability of the estimatesThe 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 tononsampling 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

unrounded 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 Internet at

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

www.bls.gov/opub/ee/home.htm.

Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error

for state CES data at the supersector level and for metro-

politan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are available

online at www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. 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 December 1, 2009. 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 www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.

Additional informationMore 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 apopulation of 25,000 or more, and other areas used in the

administration of various federal economic assistance pro-

grams are available on the Internet at www.bls.gov/lau/.

Employment data from the CES program are available on the

BLS Web site at www.bls.gov/sae/.
