METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: JUNE 2007

Unemployment rates were lower in June than a year earlier in 186 of the 369 metropolitan areas, higher

in 149 areas, and unchanged in 34 areas, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor

reported today. Nineteen metropolitan areas registered jobless rates below 3.0 percent while two areas

recorded jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent. The national unemployment rate in June was 4.7 percent,

not seasonally adjusted.

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

In June, 98 metropolitan areas recorded unemployment rates below 4.0 percent, up from 83 areas a

year earlier, while 22 areas had rates of at least 7.0 percent, down from 26 areas in June 2006. Idaho

Falls, Idaho, again reported the lowest jobless rate, 1.8 percent, followed by Billings, Mont., and Boise CityNampa, Idaho, at 2.1 percent each. Strong economic growth in many Rocky Mountain states has resulted

in low unemployment rates in several areas—12 of the 19 areas with jobless rates below 3.0 percent were in

Idaho, Montana, Utah, or Wyoming. Four heavily agricultural areas registered the highest rates in June: El

Centro, Calif., 16.6 percent; Yuma, Ariz., 16.2 percent; Merced, Calif., 9.4 percent; and Yuba City, Calif.,

9.3 percent. El Centro and Yuma are adjacent areas on the Mexican border where the growing season

slows considerably due to the extreme summer temperatures. Overall, 208 areas posted unemployment rates

below the U.S. figure of 4.7 percent, 152 areas had higher rates, and 9 areas had the same rate. (See table

1 and the map.)

Two Mississippi areas severely affected by Hurricane Katrina reported the largest over-the-year jobless

rate decreases in June: Gulfport-Biloxi (-4.3 percentage points) and Pascagoula (-1.9 points). The hurricane

struck in August 2005, and unemployment rates rose sharply in these areas in subsequent months. Thirtyfour additional areas recorded over-the-year rate decreases of 1.0 percentage point or more in June. El

Centro, Calif., again registered the largest unemployment rate increase from a year earlier (+1.9 percentage

points), followed by Mansfield, Ohio (+1.3 points). Six other areas posted jobless rate increases of 1.0 percentage point or more from June 2006.

Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, those recording the

lowest jobless rates in June were Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz., 3.0 percent; Richmond, Va., 3.2 percent;

Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 3.3 percent; and Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport

News, Va.-N.C., 3.4 percent. The large area with the highest unemployment rate again was DetroitWarren-Livonia, Mich., 8.1 percent. Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, Ohio, had the next highest rate, 6.3 percent.

Twenty-four large areas reported lower unemployment rates than in June 2006, 21 registered higher rates,

and 4 had no change. Among these large areas, Memphis, Tenn.-Miss.-Ark., posted the largest over-theyear jobless rate decrease (-1.3 percentage points), followed by Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas

(-1.1 points) and Nashville-Davidson—Murfreesboro—Franklin, Tenn. (-1.0 point). Detroit-WarrenLivonia, Mich., had the largest over-the-year unemployment rate increase (+0.9 percentage point). Four

other large areas, all in the Midwest, had rate increases of more than one-half percentage point.

Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

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

essentially separately identifiable employment centers. The divisions reporting the lowest unemployment rates

in June were Bethesda-Gaithersburg-Frederick, Md., 3.2 percent; Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-

Va.-Md.-W.Va., 3.3 percent; and Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-Deerfield Beach, Fla., and MiamiMiami Beach-Kendall, Fla., 3.4 percent each. Four additional divisions registered rates below 4.0 percent.

The divisions with the highest unemployment rates again were Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., 9.2 percent;

Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 7.6 percent; and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich., 7.3 percent. (See table 2.)

Sixteen of the 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year unemployment rate decreases in June,

16 had rate increases, and 2 had rates that were unchanged. Gary, Ind., registered the largest over-the-year

jobless rate decline (-1.0 percentage point). The divisions reporting the next largest rate declines were

Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas (-0.9 percentage point), and Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas, and Tacoma, Wash.

(-0.8 point each). Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill., and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich., posted the

largest jobless rate increases from a year earlier (+0.9 percentage point each).

In 4 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowest

division jobless rates were 1.0 percentage point or more in June. The metropolitan area that had the largest

rate difference among its divisions, 3.6 percentage points, was Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H.

(Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 7.6 percent, compared with Nashua, N.H.-Mass., 4.0 percent).

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

In June, 303 metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 58

reported decreases, and 6 had no change. The largest over-the-year employment gain was posted in DallasFort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+83,800), followed by Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+76,500), New

York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (+63,100), and Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz.

(+61,600). The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment were reported in Gulfport-Biloxi,

Miss. (+8.2 percent), Provo-Orem, Utah (+5.7 percent), Iowa City, Iowa (+5.4 percent), and El Centro,

Calif. (+5.3 percent). (See table 3.)

The largest over-the-year decreases in employment occurred in Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich.

(-31,000), Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, Ohio (-5,600), Dayton, Ohio (-4,800), and Youngstown-WarrenBoardman, Ohio-Pa. (-4,100). The largest over-the-year percentage decreases in employment were

reported in Anderson, Ind. (-3.7 percent), Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (-2.7 percent), and Atlantic City, N.J.,

and Flint, Mich. (-2.5 percent each).

Over-the-year, nonfarm employment rose in 35 of the 37 metropolitan areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2006. The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment in

these large metropolitan areas were posted in Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (+3.5 percent),

Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (+3.3 percent), Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+3.1 percent), and
3

Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+2.9 percent). Among the largest areas, the only reported decreases in

employment were in Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-1.5 percent) and Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, Ohio (-0.5

percent).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in June 2007 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 gains and 3 reported losses. The largest over-theyear increases in the metropolitan divisions occurred in Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas (+61,400), New YorkWhite Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (+48,100), Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (+40,200), and WashingtonArlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va. (+39,000). (See table 4.)

The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment among the metropolitan divisions were

reported in Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas (+3.0 percent), Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (+2.8 percent), Fort

Worth-Arlington, Texas (+2.7 percent), and San Francisco-San Mateo-Redwood City, Calif. (+2.2 percent).

Percentage declines in employment were reported in Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., and Warren-TroyFarmington Hills, Mich. (-1.5 percent each), and Lake County-Kenosha County, Ill.-Wis. (-0.1 percent).

Hurricane Katrina

For June, BLS and its state partners continued to make modifications to the usual

estimation procedures for the LAUS program to reflect the impact of Hurricane Katrina on

the labor force statistics in affected areas. These modifications included: (1) modifying the

state population controls to account for displacement due to Katrina; (2) developing labor

force estimates for the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area using an alternative

to the model-based method; and (3) not publishing labor force estimates for the parishes

within the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area or cities within those parishes

where the quality of input data was severely compromised by the hurricane.

For more information on LAUS procedures and estimates for June 2007, see Hurricane Information: Katrina and Rita on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/Katrina/

home.htm or call (202) 691-6392.
Technical Note

This release presents labor force and unemployment data from the

Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1

and 2) for 377 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. 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 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 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 did not work

at all (in the reference week), had actively looked for a job (sometime

in the 4-week period ending with the survey reference week), and

were 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 AngelesLong-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

respective balances-of-state: Chicago-Naperville-Joliet,IL Metropolitan

Division; Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area;

Detroit-Warren-Livonia, MI Metropolitan Statistical Area; MiamiMiami-Beach-Kendall, FL Metropolitan Division; New OrleansMetaire-Kenner, LA Metropolitan Statistical Area; and SeattleBellevue-Everett, WA Metropolitan Division. This will improve the

statistical basis of the estimation for these areas and provide important

tools for anlysis, such as measures of errors 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 reestimation at the state

and selected area level. All substate estimates are 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

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 currentmonth 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 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 survey

and administrative data 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 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 information 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/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 18, 2006. A detailed list of the geographic

definitions is available on the Web at http://www.bls.gov/lau/

lausmsa.htm and also is published annually in the May issue of

Employment and Earnings.

Additional information

More complete information on the technical procedures used to

develop these estimates and additional data appear in Employment

and Earnings, which is available by subscription from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office,

Washington, DC 20402 (telephone 202-512-1800).

Estimates of unadjusted and seasonally adjusted labor force and

unemployment data for states, census regions and divisions, and

eight 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 BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/lau.

Employment data from the CES program are available at

1 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 similar to the Current Population Survey. Area

definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 07-01,

dated December 18, 2006, 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. Data for 2006 have been revised to

incorporate updated inputs and adjustments to new state controls.

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. 07-01, dated December 18, 2006, 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. 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-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis.,

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

Illinois, respectively. Data for 2006 have been revised to incorporate updated inputs

and adjustments to new state controls.

1 Area boundaries do not reflect official OMB definitions. p = preliminary.

 NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Estimates subsequent to the current

benchmark are provisional and will be revised when new information becomes available.

Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 07-01,

dated December 18, 2006, 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.
