METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — NOVEMBER 2018

Unemployment rates were lower in November than a year earlier in 290 of the 388 metropolitan areas, 

higher in 69 areas, and unchanged in 29 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. A 

total of 104 areas had jobless rates of less than 3.0 percent and 2 areas had rates of at least 10.0 percent. 

Nonfarm payroll employment increased over the year in 54 metropolitan areas and was essentially 

unchanged in 334 areas. The national unemployment rate in November was 3.5 percent, not seasonally 

adjusted, down from 3.9 percent a year earlier.

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

In November, Ames, IA, had the lowest unemployment rate, 1.2 percent. El Centro, CA, and Yuma, AZ, 

had the highest unemployment rates, 18.1 percent and 14.9 percent, respectively. A total of 198 areas 

had November unemployment rates below the U.S. rate of 3.5 percent, 176 areas had rates above it, and 

14 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and map 1.) 

The largest over-the-year unemployment rate decrease occurred in Ocean City, NJ (-3.4 percentage 

points). Fifty-five additional areas had rate decreases of at least 1.0 percentage point. Kokomo, IN, had 

the largest over-the-year rate increase in November (+5.1 percentage points). 

Of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 2010 Census population of 1 million or more, Minneapolis-St. PaulBloomington, MN-WI, had the lowest unemployment rate in November, 2.0 percent. Cleveland-Elyria, 

OH, and Las Vegas-Henderson-Paradise, NV, had the highest jobless rates among the large areas, 4.4 

percent each. Thirty-nine large areas had over-the-year unemployment rate decreases, eight had 

increases, and four had no change. The largest rate decreases occurred in Buffalo-Cheektowaga-Niagara 

Falls, NY (-1.6 percentage points), and Rochester, NY (-1.5 points). The largest over-the-year rate 

increase was in Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO (+0.5 percentage point). 

Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are made up of 38 metropolitan divisions, which are 

essentially separately identifiable employment centers. In November, Framingham, MA, and San 

Francisco-Redwood City-South San Francisco, CA, had the lowest rates among the divisions, 2.1 

percent each. Tacoma-Lakewood, WA, had the highest division rate, 4.9 percent. (See table 2.) 
- 2 - 

In November, 33 metropolitan divisions had over-the-year unemployment rate decreases, 4 had 

increases, and 1 had no change. The largest rate declines occurred in Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, FL, 

and Nassau County-Suffolk County, NY (-1.3 percentage points each). The largest over-the-year rate 

increase was in Elgin, IL (+0.5 percentage point). 

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

In November, 54 metropolitan areas had over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment and 

334 were essentially unchanged. The largest over-the-year employment increases occurred in HoustonThe Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX (+114,400), New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA (+113,000), 

and Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX (+94,700). The largest over-the-year percentage gains in 

employment occurred in Reno, NV (+5.9 percent), Midland, TX (+5.7 percent), and Colorado Springs, 

CO (+5.0 percent). (See table 3 and map 2.) 

Over the year, nonfarm employment rose in 37 of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 2010 Census 

population of 1 million or more, while employment was essentially unchanged in 14 areas. The largest 

over-the-year percentage increases in employment in these large metropolitan areas occurred in 

Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, FL (+4.8 percent), Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, AZ (+4.2 percent), and Las 

Vegas-Henderson-Paradise, NV (+3.8 percent).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

In November, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 16 of the 38 metropolitan divisions over the 

year and was essentially unchanged in 22 divisions. The largest over-the-year increase in employment 

among the metropolitan divisions occurred in New York-Jersey City-White Plains, NY-NJ (+87,200),

followed by Dallas-Plano-Irving, TX (+73,400), and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA (+63,000). (See table 

4.) 

The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment occurred in Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA 

(+3.7 percent), West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Delray Beach, FL (+3.2 percent), and Tacoma-Lakewood, 

WA (+2.9 percent). 

_____________ 

The State Employment and Unemployment news release for December 2018 is scheduled to be

released on Friday, January 18, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. (EST). The Metropolitan Area

Employment and Unemployment news release for December 2018 is scheduled to be released on 

Wednesday, January 30, 2019, at 10:00 a.m. (EST).
Technical Note

This release presents civilian labor force and unemployment 

data from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) 

program (tables 1 and 2) for 388 metropolitan statistical areas 

and metropolitan New England City and Town Areas 

(NECTAs), plus 7 areas in Puerto Rico. Estimates for 38 

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 the same areas. State estimates were previously 

published in the news release 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.

Civilian labor force and unemployment—from the 

LAUS program 

Definitions. The civilian 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 LAUS program 

measures employed persons and unemployed persons on a 

place-of-residence basis. The universe for each is the civilian 

noninstitutional population 16 years of age and older. 

Employed persons are those who did any work at all for pay or 

profit in the reference week (typically 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 civilian

labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons. 

The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a 

percent of the civilian 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 estimates are also produced for the

following areas and their respective balances: the ChicagoNaperville-Arlington Heights, IL Metropolitan Division; 

Cleveland-Elyria, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area; DetroitWarren-Dearborn, MI Metropolitan Statistical Area; MiamiMiami Beach-Kendall, FL Metropolitan Division; and SeattleBellevue-Everett, WA Metropolitan Division. 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. 

Estimates of employed persons, 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 

insurance (UI) laws and entrants to the labor force 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 model-based area totals. A detailed 

description of the estimation procedures is available from BLS 

upon request.

Annual revisions. Civilian labor force and 

unemployment data shown for the prior year reflect 

adjustments made at the beginning of each year, usually 

implemented with the issuance of January estimates. The 

adjusted model-based estimates typically reflect updated 

population data from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions in 

other input data sources, and model re-estimation. All substate 

estimates then are re-estimated using updated inputs and 

adjusted to add to the revised model-based totals. In early 

2015, a new generation of time-series models was

implemented, resulting in the replacement of data back to the 

series beginnings. At the same time, enhancements were made 

to the substate estimation methodology, and more timely inputs 

from the American Community Survey were incorporated.

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 2017 version of the North 

American Industry Classification System. 

Method of estimation. CES State and Area employment 

data are produced using several estimation procedures. Where 

possible these data are produced using a "weighted link 

relative" estimation technique in which a ratio of current-month 

weighted employment to that of the previous-month weighted 

employment is computed from a sample of establishments 

reporting for both months. The estimates of employment for the 

current month are then obtained by multiplying these ratios by 

the previous month’s employment estimates. The weighted link 

relative technique is utilized for data series where the sample 

size meets certain statistical criteria.

For some employment series, the sample of 

establishments is very small or highly variable. In these cases, 
a model-based approach is used in estimation. These models 

use the direct sample estimates (described above), combined 

with forecasts of historical (benchmarked) data to decrease 

volatility in estimation. Two different models (Fay-Herriot 

Model and Small Domain Model) are used depending on the 

industry level being estimated. For more detailed information 

about each model, refer to the BLS Handbook of Methods.

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 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. 

Seasonal adjustment. Payroll employment data are 

seasonally adjusted for states, metropolitan areas, and 

metropolitan divisions at the total nonfarm level. For states, 

data are seasonally adjusted at the supersector level as well. 

Revisions to historical data for the most recent 5 years are made 

once a year, coincident with annual benchmark adjustments.

Beginning with the release of January 2018 preliminary 

estimates, payroll employment data are seasonally adjusted 

concurrently, using all available estimates including those for 

the current month, to develop sample-based seasonal factors. 

Concurrent sample-based factors are created every month for 

the current month's preliminary estimate as well as the

previous month's final estimate in order to incorporate realtime estimates. Previously, the sample-based seasonal factors 

were forecasted once annually at the beginning of the year and 

applied to the sample-based estimates for the 12 months of the 

year.

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 specific estimation processes used. 

The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals 

shown in the same tables because of rounding.

Use of error measures

Civilian labor force and unemployment estimates.

Measures of sampling error are not available for metropolitan 

areas or metropolitan divisions. Model-based error measures 

for states are available on the BLS website at 

www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. Measures of nonsampling error 

are not available for the areas contained in this release. 

Information on recent data revisions for states and local areas 

is available online at www.bls.gov/lau/launews1.htm.

Employment estimates. Changes in metropolitan area 

nonfarm payroll employment are cited in the analysis of this 

release only if they have been determined to be statistically 

significant at the 90-percent confidence level. Measures of 

sampling error for the total nonfarm employment series are 

available for metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions at 

www.bls.gov/web/laus/790stderr.htm. Measures of sampling 

error for more detailed series at the area and division level are 

available upon request. Measures of sampling error for states at 

the supersector level and for the private service-providing, 

goods-producing, total private and total nonfarm levels are 

available on the BLS website at

www.bls.gov/web/laus/790stderr.htm. Information on recent 

benchmark revisions is available online at 

www.bls.gov/web/laus/benchmark.pdf.

Area definitions

The substate area data published in this release reflect the 

delineations issued by the U.S. Office of Management and 

Budget on July 15, 2015. 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 online at 

www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm. 

Additional information

Estimates of unadjusted and seasonally adjusted civilian

labor force and unemployment data for states and seven 

substate areas are available in the news release State 

Employment and Unemployment. Estimates of civilian labor 

force and unemployment for all states, metropolitan 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 online at www.bls.gov/lau/. 

Employment data from the CES program are available on the 

BLS website at www.bls.gov/sae/.

1 For operational reasons, these interstate areas are listed under the state that accounts for the larger share of the population, which is different from the state that contains the first principal city.

2 The area boundary does not reflect the Office of Management and Budget delineation.

p Preliminary

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 delineations are based on Office of

Management and Budget Bulletin No. 15-01, dated July 15, 2015, and are available on the BLS website at https://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 containing the first

principal city, unless otherwise footnoted. Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the following month.

NOTE: Data refer to place of residence. Area delineations are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 15-01, dated July 15, 2015, and are available on the BLS website at

https://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 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 Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV, the 

metropolitan area and division titles are identical. Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the following month.

1 For operational reasons, these interstate areas are listed under the state that accounts for the larger share of the population, which is different from the state that contains

the first principal city.

2 Area boundary does not reflect official OMB delineation.

p Preliminary

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 delineations are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 15-01, dated July 15, 2015, and are available on the BLS website at

https://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 containing the first principal city, unless otherwise footnoted. Estimates for

the latest month are subject to revision the following month.

p Preliminary

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. 15-01, dated July 15, 2015, and available at https://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 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 Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV, the metropolitan area and division titles are identical. Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the following month.
