       METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:  DECEMBER 2005
   
   Unemployment rates were lower in December than a year earlier in 273 of
the 367 metropolitan areas, higher in 80 areas, and unchanged in 14 areas,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported
today.  Thirty-three metropolitan areas registered jobless rates below 3.0
percent; 24 of these were in the South.  Four areas recorded rates of 10.0
percent or more.  The national unemployment rate was 4.6 percent, not sea-
sonally adjusted, down from 5.1 percent a year earlier.

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   In December, 121 metropolitan areas reported unemployment rates below
4.0 percent, up from 69 areas a year earlier, while 25 areas posted rates
of at least 7.0 percent, down from 40 areas in December 2004.  Gainesville,
Fla., had the lowest unemployment rate, 2.2 percent, followed closely by
Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla., Fort Walton Beach-Crestview-Destin, Fla., and
Winchester, Va.-W.Va., 2.3 percent each.  The highest jobless rates were
registered in two Mississippi areas affected by Hurricane Katrina:  Gulfport-
Biloxi, 21.3 percent, and Pascagoula, 14.5 percent.  The next highest rates
were recorded in six agriculturally-oriented areas:  El Centro, Calif.,
13.4 percent; Yuma, Ariz., 11.7 percent; Visalia-Porterville, Calif., 9.6 per-
cent; Merced, Calif., 9.5 percent; and Salinas, Calif., and Yakima, Wash.,
9.2 percent each.  Overall, 185 areas reported unemployment rates below the
U.S. figure of 4.6 percent, 165 areas had higher rates, and 17 areas had the
same rate.  (See table 1.)

   |    In December, BLS and its state partners again made modifica-      |
   | tions to the usual estimation procedures for the Local Area Unem-    |
   | ployment Statistics (LAUS) program to reflect the impact on the      |
   | unemployment statistics in Katrina-affected areas.  These modifi-    |
   | cations included: (1) allowing the state labor force estimates       |
   | for Louisiana and Mississippi to reflect the effects of Katrina      |
   | by overriding the built-in feature of the methodology that smoothes  |
   | over large shifts in key inputs--unemployment insurance claims and   |
   | nonfarm wage and salary employment; (2) modifying the state popula-  |
   | tion controls to account for displacement due to Katrina; (3) devel- |
   | oping labor force estimates for the New Orleans metropolitan area    |
   | using analternative to the model-based method; and (4) not publish-  |
   | ing labor force estimates for the parishes within the New Orleans    |
   | metropolitan area or cities within those parishes where the quality  |
   | of input data was severely compromised by the hurricane.             |

                                  - 2 -

   The largest over-the-year jobless rate decrease in December was posted
in Vero Beach, Fla. (-2.9 percentage points), which had been affected by
hurricanes in 2004.  The next largest unemployment rate declines were
reported in El Centro, Calif. (-2.7 percentage points), and Brownsville-
Harlingen, Texas, Florence-Muscle Shoals, Ala., and Gadsden, Ala.
(-2.5 points each).  Nine other areas had rate decreases of at least
2.0 percentage points, and 84 additional areas registered declines of at
least 1.0 point.  Overall, 170 of the 273 areas with over-the-year rate
declines had decreases that exceeded the 0.5-percentage point drop in the
national rate.  The largest unemployment rate increases from last December
were recorded in three areas affected by Hurricanes Katrina and/or Rita--
Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss. (+16.1 percentage points), Pascagoula, Miss.
(+8.4 points), and  New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La. (+3.8 points).  Nine
additional areas registered over-the-year unemployment rate increases of at
least 1.0 percentage point.

   In the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million
or more, the lowest December jobless rates were reported in Orlando, Fla.,
2.8 percent, and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla., and Washington-
Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 2.9 percent each.  The highest
rates among these large areas were recorded in New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner,
La., 8.2 percent, and Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., 6.8 percent.  Thirty-
seven large areas reported lower unemployment rates than in December 2004,
11 registered higher rates, and 1 had no change.  The largest over-the-year
rate decreases were posted in Birmingham-Hoover, Ala., and Miami-Fort
Lauderdale-Miami Beach, Fla. (-1.6 percentage points each).  Six additional
large areas--three of which were in Florida--registered jobless rate declines
of at least 1.0 percentage point.  New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La., again
recorded the largest over-the-year unemployment rate increase (+3.8 percent-
age points).  The next largest rate increases were reported in Louisville,
Ky.-Ind. (+1.4 percentage points), and Providence-Fall River-Warwick, R.I.-
Mass. (+0.6 point).

Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are composed of 34 metro-
politan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment
centers.  The lowest division unemployment rates in December were posted in
Bethesda-Frederick-Gaithersburg, Md., 2.6 percent, and Fort Lauderdale-Pom-
pano Beach-Deerfield Beach, Fla., 2.9 percent.  Seven additional divisions
registered rates below 4.0 percent.  The highest unemployment rates among
the divisions continued to be reported in Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich.,
7.9 percent, and Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 7.2 percent.  (See
table 2.)

   Twenty of the 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year unemploy-
ment rate decreases in December, 11 had rate increases, and 3 had rates that
were unchanged from those of December 2004.  The largest jobless rate
declines were registered in the three divisions that compose the Miami-Fort
Lauderdale-Miami Beach, Fla., metropolitan area--Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall
(-1.8 percentage points), West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach
(-1.5 points), and Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-Deerfield Beach
(-1.4 points).  The next largest rate decreases were posted in Tacoma, Wash.
(-1.2 percentage points), and Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas (-1.0 point). No
division reported a rate increase from a year earlier greater than 0.5 per-
centage point.

   In 5 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges
between the highest and lowest division unemployment rates were 1.0 percent-
age point or more in December.  The metropolitan areas that had the widest
rate ranges between their divisions were Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H.
(Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 7.2 percent, compared with Nashua, N.H.-
Mass., 3.6 percent), and Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (Detroit-Livonia-Dear-
born, 7.9 percent, compared with Warren-Farmington Hills-Troy, 5.9 percent).

                                  - 3 -

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   In December 2005, 311 metropolitan areas recorded over-the-year
increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 49 reported decreases, and 7 had
no change.  The largest over-the-year employment gains were posted in
Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (+83,200), Washington-Arlington-Alexandria,
D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va. (+81,600), Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif.
(+69,200), and New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa.
(+64,300).  The largest percentage increases in employment were reported in
Coeur d`Alene, Idaho, and Yuba City, Calif. (+8.2 percent each), followed
by El Centro, Calif. (+7.9 percent), and St. George, Utah (+7.8 percent).

   Large over-the-year decreases in employment in New Orleans-Metairie-
Kenner, La. (-198,100), and Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss. (-26,500), reflect the
impact of Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast in late August.
The largest over-the-year percentage declines in employment were reported
in New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La. (-31.8 percent), Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss.
(-23.3 percent), Danville, Va. (-4.5 percent), and Holland-Grand Haven,
Mich. (-3.7 percent).

   Over the year, nonfarm employment rose in 32 of the 35 metropolitan
areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2004.  The
largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment in these large
metropolitan areas occurred in Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev. (+7.0 percent),
Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (+4.8 percent), Orlando, Fla. (+4.2 per-
cent), and Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. (+3.3 percent).  Among the
largest areas, the only over-the-year percentage decreases in employment
were recorded in Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-0.6 percent), and Cleve-
land-Elyria-Mentor, Ohio, and Indianapolis, Ind. (-0.1 percent each).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in December 2005 for
32 metropolitan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable
employment centers within a metropolitan area.  Twenty-nine of the 32
metropolitan divisions reported over-the-year employment increases, while
3 reported decreases.  The largest over-the-year increase in the metropol-
itan divisions occurred in Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-
W.Va. (+70,200), followed by Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif.
(+49,500), New York-Wayne-White Plains, N.Y.-N.J. (+48,100), Seattle-
Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (+46,100), and Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.
(+40,800).  Over-the-year employment losses were recorded in Newark-Union,
N.J.-Pa. (-7,500), Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich. (-7,000), and Warren-
Farmington Hills-Troy, Mich. (-6,300).

   The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment among the
metropolitan divisions were reported in Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-Deer-
field Beach, Fla. (+4.0 percent), Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (+3.4 per-
cent), Tacoma, Wash., and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-
W.Va. (+3.0 percent each), and West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach,
Fla. (+2.5 percent).  Over-the-year percentage decreases in employment among
the divisions were reported for Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich. (-0.8 percent),
Newark-Union, N.J.-Pa. (-0.7 percent), and Warren-Farmington Hills-Troy,
Mich. (-0.5 percent).

Technical Note


   This release presents labor force and unemployment data from
the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1 and 2)
for 375 metropolitan statistical areas and metropolitan New England
City and Town Areas (NECTAs), including those in Puerto Rico.  Estimates
for over 30 metropolitan and NECTA divisions also are presented.  Non-
farm payroll employment estimates from the Current Employment Statis-
tics (CES) program (tables 3 and 4) are provided for 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 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 2005, estimates for
all census divisions, states, the District of Columbia, the Los
Angeles-Long beach-Glendale metropolitan division, and New York
City were produced using updated time-series models with real-
time benchmarking.  Model-based estimation was extended to the
following areas and the respective balances-of-state:  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 Metropoli-
tan Statistical Area; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA Metropoli-
tan Division.  This will improve the statistical basis of the esti-
mation for these areas and provide important tools for analysis,
such as measures of error and seasonally adjusted series.  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 or balance-of-
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 implemented with January estimates.  The adjusted
estimates reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census
Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources, and model reesti-
mation at the state and selected area level.  All substate area
estimates are adjusted to add to the revised model-based estimates.
     
                                  - 6 -

Employment--from the CES program
     
   Definitions.  Employment data refer to persons on establish-
ment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay period which
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 2002 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 for the previous month by
these ratios.  Small-domain models are used as the official
estimators for the approximately 10 percent of CES published
series which have sample-based estimates.
     
   Annual revisions.  Employment estimates are adjusted annual-
ly to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived princi-
pally 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 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
survey and administrative data and thus are subject to sampling
and other types of errors.  Sampling error is a measure of sam-
pling variability--that is, variation that occurs by chance be-
cause 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 from unrounded data rather than from data that may
be displayed in the tables; differences, however, are generally
insignificant.
     
   Labor force and unemployment estimates.  Model-based error
measures, including for over-the month change, 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 additional in-
formation on the subject is provided in the BLS monthly periodical,
Employment and Earnings.
     
   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 on the BLS Web site
at http://www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm.  Information on recent
benchmark revisions for states is available at http://www.bls.gov/

  - Data  not available.
  1 Estimates are not model-based as of September 2005.
  2 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 similiar to the Current
Population Survey.  Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 04-03, dated February 18, 2004, and
are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.  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 revised the following month, and at least 3 years of estimates are
subject to revision at the end of the year, to incorporate updated inputs and reestimation.

  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. 04-03, dated
February 18, 2004, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.  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.  Estimates for the
latest month are revised the following month, and at least 3 years of estimates are subject to revision at the end of the year, to
incorporate updated inputs and reestimation.  Two sets of metropolitan areas and divisions have similar or identical titles.  For
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., the titles are identical.  For the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis.,
metropolitan area, the division title includes only Illinois.

     http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.  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.
