       METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:  DECEMBER 2001


   In December, 305 metropolitan areas reported higher unemployment rates
than a year earlier, 21 areas had lower rates, and 5 areas had rates that
were unchanged, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor reported today.  Ten metropolitan areas had jobless rates over 10.0
percent, with seven of these in California and two along the Mexican border
in other states.  Only 3 areas recorded rates below 2.0 percent, compared
with 43 areas in December 2000.
   
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
   
   Ninety-six metropolitan areas registered unemployment rates of at least
5.5 percent in December, up from 34 a year ago.  Meanwhile, 16 areas had
rates below 2.5 percent, down from 90 areas in December 2000.  Two areas in
California posted the highest jobless rates--Visalia-Tulare-Porterville,
16.3 percent, and Merced, 15.5 percent--followed by Yuma, Ariz., 14.9 per-
cent.  Areas with large universities tend to have lower unemployment
rates.  The lowest rates in December were in two such areas--Bryan-College
Station, Texas, 1.4 percent, and Columbia, Mo., 1.7 percent.  (See table 1
and the map.)
   
   Two Piedmont region manufacturing centers recorded the largest over-the-
year unemployment rate increases, Danville, Va. (+6.0 percentage points),
and Hickory-Morganton-Lenoir, N.C. (+4.9 points).  San Jose, Calif., which
includes the Silicon Valley, had the next highest over-the-year rate increase 
(+4.8 points).  Thirteen additional areas registered increases of at least 3.0 
percentage points, and another 45 had increases of 2.0 points or more.  The 
61 metropolitan areas with increases of at least 2.0 percentage points in-
cluded 7 of North Carolina's 11 areas and 6 of Michigan's 9 areas.  In addi-
tion, more than one-quarter of the 65 metropolitan areas in the West recorded 
unemployment rate increases of this magnitude.  The largest over-the-year rate 
decreases were posted in Yuma, Ariz. (-3.9 percentage points), and Gadsden, 
Ala. (-2.5 points).  Two other areas recorded decreases of at least one 
percentage point.
   
   Of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 1990 census population of 1 million
or more, Miami, Fla., continued to report the highest unemployment rate,
7.6 percent, followed by Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash., 7.0 percent, and
New York, N.Y., 6.5 percent.  The lowest rates were in Hartford, Conn., 
3.1 percent, and Columbus, Ohio, Orange County, Calif., and Washington, 
D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va., 3.2 percent each.  All 51 large areas recorded rate
increases over the year of at least 0.4 percentage point.  The largest
increases were once more reported in San Jose, Calif. (+4.8 percentage
points), and Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash. (+3.9 points), followed by
Dallas, Texas, and Denver, Colo. (+3.1 points each).  Eleven additional
areas posted over-the-year rate increases of more than 2.0 points.

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Among the 274 metropolitan areas for which December nonfarm payroll
data were available, 152 reported over-the-year declines in employment, 120
reported increases, and 2 had no change.  The largest over-the-year
employment declines were recorded in New York, N.Y. (-95,400), Atlanta, Ga.
(-60,400), San Jose, Calif. (-45,000), Detroit, Mich. (-42,700), and Chicago, 
Ill. (-41,700).  Much of the employment decline in New York, N.Y., can be 
traced to the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World 
Trade Center.  The numbers reflect both jobs that were lost due to decreased 
business activity and jobs that were lost due to firms relocating elsewhere.  
The largest over-the-year percentage declines in employment were posted in 
Danville, Va. (-5.6 percent), San Jose, Calif. (-4.3 percent), Decatur, Ill. 
(-4.1 percent), and Rockford, Ill. (-3.9 percent).  (See table 2.)
   
   The largest employment increases were reported in Tampa-St. Petersburg-
Clearwater, Fla. (+40,100), followed by Dallas, Texas (+33,700),
Washington, D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va. (+27,600), and Orlando, Fla. (+25,800).  The
largest over-the-year percentage increases occurred in Fayetteville-
Springdale-Rogers, Ark. (+4.4 percent), Brazoria, Texas (+4.2 percent),
Jersey City, N.J. (+3.4 percent), and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla.
(+3.2 percent).
   
   Over the year, nonfarm employment decreased in 23 of the 38
metropolitan areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in
2000.  The largest over-the-year percentage declines in employment in these
large metropolitan areas were reported in San Jose, Calif. (-4.3 percent),
Atlanta, Ga. (-2.7 percent), and Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash. (-2.4 per-
cent).  Among the largest areas, Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla.,
had the highest over-the-year growth rate (+3.2 percent), followed by
Orlando, Fla. (+2.8 percent), Riverside-San Bernardino, Calif. (+2.4 per-
cent), and Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+2.1 percent).
   
   Over the year, employment growth was most widespread in services and
government, with increases in 180 and 206 metropolitan areas, respectively.
Manufacturing continued to be the weakest industry division, with 244
metropolitan areas experiencing employment losses over the year.

Technical Note


     This release presents labor force and unemployment data from
the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (table 1)
for 337 metropolitan areas, including those in Puerto Rico.  Nonfarm
payroll employment estimates from the Current Employment Statistics
(CES) program (table 2) are provided for over 270 of these 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 Statistics (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 have 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), have actively looked for a job (sometime in the
4-week period ending with the survey reference week), and are
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 1996, estimates for
all states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach
metropolitan area, and New York City are produced using estimating
equations based on regression techniques.  For all other substate
areas, estimates are prepared 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 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 with January estimates.  The adjusted estimates
reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census Bureau and
any revisions in the other data sources.  In addition, data for
all states, the District of Columbia, and the two large substate
areas noted are adjusted annually to equal the CPS annual
averages, usually effective with January estimates.  All other 
substate estimates are adjusted to add to the revised (benchmarked)
state 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 which includes the 12th of the month, except for federal
government employment, which represents the number of persons who
occupied positions on the last day 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 product or activity in accordance with the 1987 Standard
Industrial Classification Manual.
     
     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 for the previous month by
these ratios.
     
     Annual revisions.  Employment estimates are adjusted annually
to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived
principally from tax reports which are submitted by employers who
are covered under state unemployment 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
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, variation that occurs by chance
because a sample rather than the entire population is surveyed.
Survey data are also 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, unemployment rates
are computed, in most instances, from unrounded data rather than
from data that may be displayed in the tables; differences,
however, are generally insignificant.
     
     Labor force and unemployment estimates.  Measures of sampling
error, in the form of the standard errors for state annual average
estimates derived from the CPS, are available in the annual BLS
bulletin, Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment.
Error measures cannot be computed for substate areas because of
the special estimation processes used.  Measures of nonsampling
error for CPS data are not available, but additional information
on the subject is provided in the BLS monthly periodical,
Employment and Earnings.
     
     Employment estimates.  Measures of sampling error are not
available for state CES data, but the relatively large size of the
samples maintained by the state agencies and the annual adjustment
of employment estimates to more recent benchmark levels assure a
high degree of accuracy.  Information on recent benchmark
revisions for states is available upon request.
     
     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, dated June 30, 1996.  A
detailed list of the geographic definitions is published annually
in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.

develop these estimates and additional data appear in Employment
and Earnings, which is available by subscription for $50.00 a year
from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing
Office, Washington, DC 20402 (telephone 202-512-1800).
     
     Estimates of unadjusted and seasonally adjusted labor force
and unemployment data for states, census regions and divisions,
and two areas are available in the news release, Regional and
State Employment and Unemployment.  Estimates of labor force and
unemplopment for all states, metropolitan areas, labor market areas,
counties, cities with a population of 25,000 or more, and other
areas used in the administration of various federal economic
assistance programs are available from the BLS Internet at
(http://stats.bls.gov/lau/).  Employment data from the CES
program are available at (http://stats.bls.gov/sae/).

  NOTE:  Data refer to place of residence.  Data for Puerto Rico are derived from a monthly household survey similar to the Current
Population Survey.  All estimates are provisional and will be revised when new benchmark and population information becomes
available.  Area definitions are published annually in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.  Due to the expansion of the
Current Population Survey sample, estimates for June 2001 and later months may not be fully comparable with those of earlier
periods in the 31 States and the District of Columbia (as well as their substate areas) that were directly affected by the sample
expansion.  For additional information on the sample expansion, see "Expansion of the Current Population Survey Sample Effective
July 2001" in the August 2001 issue of Employment and Earnings.
