METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — MAY 2016

Unemployment rates were lower in May than a year earlier in 333 of the 387 metropolitan areas, 

higher in 49 areas, and unchanged in 5 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. 

Twenty-four areas had jobless rates of less than 3.0 percent and two areas had rates of at least 

10.0 percent. Nonfarm payroll employment increased over the year in 311 metropolitan areas, 

decreased in 70 areas, and was unchanged in 6 areas. The national unemployment rate in May 

was 4.5 percent, not seasonally adjusted, down from 5.3 percent a year earlier. 

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

In May, the lowest unemployment rates were in Ames, Iowa; Burlington-South Burlington, Vt.; 

and Sioux Falls, S.D., 2.1 percent each. Yuma, Ariz., had the highest unemployment rate, 20.9 

percent. A total of 187 areas had May jobless rates above the U.S. rate of 4.5 percent, 185 areas 

had rates below it, and 15 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and map 1.) 

El Centro, Calif., had the largest over-the-year unemployment rate decrease in May (-4.1 

percentage points). Nine other areas had rate declines of at least 2.0 percentage points. The 

largest over-the-year rate increase occurred in Casper, Wyo. (+2.7 percentage points). 

Of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 2010 Census population of 1 million or more, Austin-Round 

Rock, Texas, had the lowest unemployment rate in May, 2.9 percent. Las Vegas-HendersonParadise, Nev., had the highest rate among the large areas, 6.4 percent. Forty-six large areas had 

over-the-year unemployment rate decreases and five had increases. The largest rate decreases

occurred in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Calif., and Memphis, Tenn.-Miss.-Ark. (-2.1 

percentage points each). The largest over-the-year rate increase occurred in Houston-The 

Woodlands-Sugar Land, Texas (+0.4 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 May, San Francisco-Redwood 

City-South San Francisco, Calif., and San Rafael, Calif., had the lowest unemployment rates 
2 

among the divisions, 2.8 percent each. Philadelphia, Pa., had the highest division rate, 6.5 

percent. (See table 2.)

In May, 35 metropolitan divisions had over-the-year unemployment rate decreases, 2 had 

increases, and 1 had no change. The largest rate decline occurred in Los Angeles-Long BeachGlendale, Calif. (-2.5 percentage points). The largest over-the-year rate increase occurred in 

Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (+0.4 percentage point). 

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

In May, 311 metropolitan areas had over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 70 

had decreases, and 6 had no change. The largest over-the-year employment increases occurred in 

Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, Calif. (+154,500), New York-Newark-Jersey City, N.Y.-

N.J.-Pa. (+143,800), and Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+125,300). The largest over-theyear percentage gain in employment occurred in St. George, Utah (+7.1 percent), followed by 

Madera, Calif., and State College, Pa. (+6.7 percent each). (See table 3 and map 2.) 

The largest over-the-year decreases in employment occurred in Lafayette, La. (-8,100), HoumaThibodaux, La. (-4,500), and Pittsburgh, Pa. (-4,200). The largest over-the-year percentage 

decreases in employment occurred in Casper, Wyo. (-6.6 percent), Houma-Thibodaux, La. (-4.6 

percent), and Williamsport, Pa. (-3.9 percent). 

 

Over the year, nonfarm employment rose in 48 of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 2010 Census 

population of 1 million or more and fell in Pittsburgh, Pa. (-0.4 percent), New Orleans-Metairie, 

La. (-0.3 percent), and Rochester, N.Y. (-0.2 percent). The largest over-the-year percentage 

increases in employment in these large metropolitan areas occurred in Orlando-KissimmeeSanford, Fla. (+4.2 percent), and Austin-Round Rock, Texas (+3.9 percent). 

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

In May, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 37 of the 38 metropolitan divisions over the 

year and decreased in Lynn-Saugus-Marblehead, Mass. (-400, or -0.9 percent). The largest overthe-year increase in employment among the metropolitan divisions occurred in New York-Jersey 

City-White Plains, N.Y.-N.J. (+124,600), followed by Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas (+111,100),

Beach-Deerfield Beach, Fla. (+3.8 percent), and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (+3.7 percent). 

_____________ 

The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment news release for June is 

scheduled to be released on Friday, July 22, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Metropolitan 

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

Wednesday, August 3, 2016, 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 387 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, Regional and State Employment 

and Unemployment, and are republished in this release for ease 

of reference. The LAUS and CES programs are both federalstate 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 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 older. 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 they were temporarily 

absent, whether or not paid, for such reasons as labormanagement 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 

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. 

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 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 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 reestimation. 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 2012 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 of 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. 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. 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 are 

available for metropolitan areas or metropolitan divisions upon 

request. Measures of sampling error for states down to the 

supersector level are available on the BLS website at 

www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Measures of nonsampling 

error are not available for the areas contained in this release. 

Information on recent benchmark revisions is available online 

at www.bls.gov/sae/benchmark2016.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 February 28, 2013. 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 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, 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 on the 

Internet 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. 13-01, dated February 28, 2013, and are available on the BLS website at 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. 13-01, dated February 28, 2013, and are available on the BLS website at

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.

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 the 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. 13-01, dated February 28, 2013, and are available on the BLS website at

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. 13-01, dated February 28, 2013, and available at 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.
