METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — FEBRUARY 2018

Unemployment rates were lower in February than a year earlier in 319 of the 388 metropolitan areas, 

higher in 48 areas, and unchanged in 21 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. 

Twenty-eight areas had jobless rates of less than 3.0 percent and six areas had rates of at least 10.0 

percent. Nonfarm payroll employment increased over the year in 313 metropolitan areas, decreased in 

69 areas, and was unchanged in 6 areas. The national unemployment rate in February was 4.4 percent, 

not seasonally adjusted, down from 4.9 percent a year earlier. 

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

In February, Urban Honolulu, HI, had the lowest unemployment rate, 1.8 percent, closely followed by 

Ames, IA, 1.9 percent. El Centro, CA, had the highest unemployment rate, 16.0 percent. A total of 200 

areas had February jobless rates below the U.S. rate of 4.4 percent, 173 areas had rates above it, and 15 

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

Rockford, IL, had the largest over-the-year unemployment rate decrease in February (-4.3 percentage 

points). An additional 86 areas had rate declines of at least 1.0 percentage point. The largest over-theyear rate increase occurred in Great Falls, MT (+0.7 percentage point).

Of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 2010 Census population of 1 million or more, Nashville-Davidson—

Murfreesboro—Franklin, TN, and San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, CA, had the lowest unemployment 

rates in February, 2.7 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively. Buffalo-Cheektowaga-Niagara Falls, NY, 

had the highest jobless rate among the large areas, 6.4 percent. Forty-five large areas had over-the-year

unemployment rate decreases, four had increases, and two had no change. The largest rate decreases

No large area had an unemployment rate increase of more than 0.3 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 February, San Francisco-Redwood City-South 

San Francisco, CA, and San Rafael, CA, had the lowest unemployment rates among the divisions, 2.5 

percent each. Tacoma-Lakewood, WA, had the highest division rate, 6.0 percent. (See table 2.) 

In February, 32 metropolitan divisions had over-the-year unemployment rate decreases, 2 had increases, 

and 4 had no change. The largest rate declines occurred in Elgin, IL (-1.4 percentage points), and Lake 

County-Kenosha County, IL-WI (-1.2 points). Neither of the over-the-year jobless rate increases 

exceeded 0.3 percentage point. 

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

In February, 313 metropolitan areas had over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 69 had 

decreases, and 6 had no change. The largest over-the-year employment increases occurred in New YorkNewark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA (+124,200), Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX (+96,000), and Los 

Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA (+93,400). The largest over-the-year percentage gains in 

employment occurred in Midland, TX (+9.1 percent), Odessa, TX (+7.5 percent), and Ocean City, NJ

The State Employment and Unemployment news release for March is scheduled to be released

on Friday, April 20, 2018, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Metropolitan Area Employment and 

Unemployment news release for March is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, May 2, 2018, 

at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). 

Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data 

Effective with the release of Regional and State Unemployment 2017 Annual Averages on 

Tuesday, February 27, 2018, civilian labor force and unemployment data for all states, the 

District of Columbia, and the modeled substate areas presented in tables 1 and 2 of this news 

release were revised from 2013 through 2017 to incorporate updated inputs, new population 

controls, re-estimation of models, and adjustment to new census division and national control 

totals. Revisions for all model-based area estimates were loaded into the BLS time series 

database at that time.

Civilian labor force and unemployment data for the non-modeled metropolitan areas and 

divisions presented in tables 1 and 2 of this news release have been revised for 2017 to 

incorporate updated inputs and adjustment to new state control totals. Revised estimates for 

these areas and divisions have not been loaded into the BLS time series database; therefore, the 

database does not match the data for 2017 in this news release. Revisions for all non-modeled 

metropolitan areas and divisions from 2013 through 2017 will be loaded into the database on 

April 20, 2018. For more information, see www.bls.gov/lau/launews1.htm. 
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.

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.

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. 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 

down to the supersector level are available on the BLS website 

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

nonsampling error are not available for the areas contained in 

this news release. 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.

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/.

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. Data for 2017 have been revised to incorporate updated inputs and adjustment to new state controls. 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. Data for 2017 have been revised to incorporate updated inputs and adjustment to new state controls. 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.

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, N.J., are totally outside the states under which their

metropolitan areas are listed. For Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., the metropolitan area and division titles are identical. Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision

the following month.
