METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — JANUARY 2013 

Unemployment rates were lower in January than a year earlier in 227 of the 372 metropolitan areas, 

higher in 124 areas, and unchanged in 21 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. 

Twelve areas had jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, and 13 areas had rates of less than 5.0 percent. 

Three hundred six metropolitan areas had over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 57 

had decreases, and 9 had no change. The national unemployment rate in January was 8.5 percent, not 

seasonally adjusted, down from 8.8 percent a year earlier. 

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) 

In January, 80 metropolitan areas had jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, down from 85 areas a year 

earlier, while 99 areas had rates below 7.0 percent, up from 81 areas in January 2012. Yuma, Ariz., and 

El Centro, Calif., had the highest unemployment rates in January 2013, at 26.5 and 25.8 percent, 

respectively. Seven of the remaining 10 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent were located in 

California, while the other 3 areas were located in New Jersey. Midland, Texas, had the lowest 

unemployment rate, 3.4 percent, followed by Bismarck, N.D., and Odessa, Texas, 4.1 percent each. A 

total of 207 areas had January unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 8.5 percent, 160 areas had 

rates above it, and 5 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and the map.) 

Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev., and Ocala, Fla., had the largest over-the-year unemployment rate decreases in 

January (-2.3 and -2.0 percentage points, respectively). Fifty-nine other areas had rate declines of at least 

1.0 percentage point. Decatur, Ill., had the largest over-the-year jobless rate increase (+2.9 percentage 

points), followed by Yuma, Ariz. (+2.7 points). 

Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment Data Series Changes

_____________ 

The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment news release for February is scheduled 

to be released on Friday, March 29, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Metropolitan Area 

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

Wednesday, April 10, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). 

Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data 

Effective with the release of 2012 annual average estimates on March 1st, labor force and 

unemployment data for all states, the District of Columbia, and the seven modeled substate areas 

presented in tables 1 and 2 of this news release were revised from 2008 through 2012 to incorporate 

updated inputs, new population controls, reestimation of models, and adjustment to new division and 

national control totals. Historical revisions for all model-based area estimates were loaded into the BLS 

time series database at that time. 

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 2012 to incorporate updated inputs and 

adjustment to new state control totals. However, historical estimates in the BLS time series database will 

not be updated until Friday, April 19th. For more information, see www.bls.gov/lau/launews1.htm. 

Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data 

Effective with this release, nonfarm payroll estimates for states and metropolitan areas (tables 3 and 4) 

have been revised as a result of annual benchmark processing to reflect 2012 employment counts 

primarily from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. Not seasonally adjusted data back 

to April 2011 were revised. For more information on annual processing, see 

www.bls.gov/sae/benchmark2013.pdf. 
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, 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 in that it is listed under Illinois for operational

reasons. Data for 201 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 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. p = preliminary.

 NOTE: Data refer to place of residence. Area definitions are

based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No.

10-02, dated December 1, 2009, and are 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 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 201 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.

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. 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.
