METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — JUNE 2012 

Unemployment rates were lower in June than a year earlier in 328 of the 372 metropolitan areas, higher 

in 32 areas, and unchanged in 12 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Eight areas 

recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 17 areas registered rates of less than 5.0 percent. 

Two hundred sixty-eight metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll 

employment, 96 reported decreases, and 8 had no change. The national unemployment rate in June was 

8.4 percent, not seasonally adjusted, down from 9.3 percent a year earlier. 

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

In June, 65 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, down from 122 areas a year 

earlier, while 94 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, up from 57 areas in June of last year. El Centro, 

Calif., and Yuma, Ariz., recorded the highest unemployment rates in June, 28.2 and 27.9 percent, 

respectively. Bismarck, N.D., registered the lowest unemployment rate, 2.8 percent. A total of 207 areas 

recorded June unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 8.4 percent, 161 areas reported rates above 

it, and 4 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and the map.) 

The largest over-the-year unemployment rate decrease in June was registered in Joplin, Mo. (-2.8 

percentage points). An additional 22 areas had decreases of 2.0 percentage points or more. Elmira, N.Y., 

reported the largest over-the-year jobless rate increase (+1.4 percentage points). Four other areas had 

increases of at least 1.0 percentage point from a year earlier. 

Among the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, the highest 

unemployment rates in June were registered in Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., and Las 

Vegas-Paradise, Nev., at 12.6 and 12.1 percent, respectively. Five additional large areas posted rates of 

10.0 percent or more. The lowest jobless rate among the large areas was recorded in Oklahoma City, 

Okla., 5.0 percent. Forty-four of the large areas reported over-the-year unemployment rate decreases, 

four areas registered increases, and one area had no change. Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev., experienced the 

largest unemployment rate decline from June 2011 (-2.3 percentage points), followed by DetroitWarren-Livonia, Mich., and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. (-2.2 points each). Twenty-six other 

large areas reported rate decreases of at least 1.0 percentage point. The largest over-the-year rate 

increase was recorded in New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (+1.0 percentage 

point).

Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are made up of 34 metropolitan divisions, which are 

essentially separately identifiable employment centers. In June 2012, Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., 

and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif., registered the highest jobless rates among the divisions, 

11.4 and 11.1 percent, respectively. Framingham, Mass., reported the lowest division rate, 4.8 percent. 

(See table 2.) 

Twenty-nine of the metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate decreases in June, while 

five registered increases. Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich., 

posted the largest rate declines from a year earlier (-2.2 percentage points each), followed by MiamiMiami Beach-Kendall, Fla. (-2.1 points), and West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach, Fla. (-2.0 

points). An additional 15 divisions had decreases of 1.0 percentage point or more. New York-White 

Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J., reported the largest unemployment rate increase over the year (+1.2 

percentage points). 

In 7 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowest 

division jobless rates were 2.0 percentage points or more in June. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-

N.H., recorded the largest rate difference among its divisions, 5.6 percentage points (LawrenceMethuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 10.4 percent, compared with Framingham, Mass., 4.8 percent). 

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

In June, 268 metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 96

Employment Data Corrections 

This news release contains corrections to previously released employment data in table 3. Data 

for June 2011 were corrected for total nonfarm employment in Sebastian-Vero Beach, Fla. A 

complete listing of corrections in this news release and in the CES (state and area) database can 

be found at www.bls.gov/bls/errata/sae_errata.htm. 
Technical Note 

This release presents labor force and unemployment data 

from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) 

program (tables 1 and 2) for 372 metropolitan statistical areas 

and metropolitan New England City and Town Areas 

(NECTAs), plus 8 areas in Puerto Rico. Estimates for 34 

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 most of 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 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 over. 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 

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 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 estimation was extended to the 

following areas and their respective balances of state in 2005: 

the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, 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 Metropolitan Statistical 

Area; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA Metropolitan 

Division. (Model-based estimation of the New Orleans--

Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area was suspended following 

Hurricane Katrina; the indirect estimation methods described 

below will be used for this area until further notice.) 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 end 

of each year, usually implemented with January estimates. 

The adjusted model-based estimates reflect updated 

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

the other data sources, and model reestimation. All substate 

estimates are reestimated and adjusted to add to the revised 

model-based 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 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 2007 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 39 

percent of CES published series which have insufficient 

sample for direct sample-based estimates. 

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. 

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 particular 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. Modelbased error measures are available for states on the Internet at 

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

error are not available, but additional information on the 

subject is provided in Employment and Earnings Online at 

www.bls.gov/opub/ee/home.htm. 

Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error for 

state CES data at the supersector level are available online at 

www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Information on recent 

benchmark revisions is available on the BLS website at 

www.bls.gov/sae/. 

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 on December 1, 2009. 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 

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

Additional information 

More complete information on the technical procedures 

used to develop these estimates and additional data appear in 

Employment and Earnings Online. 

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, 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 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 Area boundaries do not reflect official OMB definitions. 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

definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 10-02,

dated December 1, 2009, and are available on the BLS Web site 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 that appears first in their titles. Davenport-Moline-Rock

Island, Iowa-Ill., is the exception in that it is listed under Illinois for operational

reasons. Data for 2011 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.

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. Three sets of metropolitan areas and divisions have

similar or identical titles. For Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va.,

the metropolitan area and division titles are identical. For the

Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., and Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill.-Ind.-Wis.,

metropolitan areas, the division titles are similar but include only Massachusetts and

Illinois, respectively. Data for 2011 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 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. 10-02, dated December 1, 2009, 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 that appears first in their titles. Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill. is the exception since it is listed under Illinois for operational

reasons.
