       METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:  NOVEMBER 2002

     
   In November, 196 metropolitan areas recorded higher unemployment rates
than a year earlier, 121 areas had lower rates, and 14 areas had rates that
were unchanged, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor reported today.  Twelve areas--most with large shares of agricultural
employment--posted jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, with eight
located in California and three along the Mexican border in other states.
Twenty-seven areas reported unemployment rates below 3.0 percent, with 12
located in the Midwest and 10 in the South.  The national unemployment rate
in November was 5.7 percent, not seasonally adjusted.
   
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
   
   Fifty-three metropolitan areas recorded unemployment rates of at least
6.5 percent in November, while 47 areas had rates below 3.5 percent.  Bryan-
College Station, Texas, again posted the lowest unemployment rate, 1.7 per-
cent, closely followed by Columbia, Mo., and Fargo-Moorhead, N.D.-Minn.,
1.8 percent each.  Yuma, Ariz., continued to report the highest unemployment 
rate, 21.6 percent.  The next highest rates were posted in four California 
areas--Visalia-Tulare-Porterville, 16.2 percent, Merced, 15.3 percent, Fresno, 
15.1 percent, and Yuba City, 13.7 percent.  (See table 1 and the map.)
   
   In November, Wheeling, W.Va.-Ohio, recorded the largest over-the-year
unemployment rate increase (+2.0 percentage points).  Twenty-five addi-
tional areas posted increases of at least 1.0 percentage point.  The lar-
gest rate decreases from November 2001 were reported in Danville, Va. 
(-4.0 percentage points), Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (-2.4 points), and Las 
Vegas, Nev.-Ariz. (-2.2 points).  Danville and Elkhart-Goshen both expe-
rienced notable manufacturing employment losses late last year, while Las 
Vegas suffered large tourism-related declines after the September 11 ter-
rorist attacks.  Thirteen additional areas registered over-the-year jobless 
rate decreases of a full percentage point or more.
   
   Of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 1990 census population of 1 million
or more, San Jose, Calif., at 7.8 percent in November, reported the highest
unemployment rate for the eighth consecutive month.  New York, N.Y., had
the next highest rate, 7.3 percent, followed by Miami, Fla., and Portland-
Vancouver, Ore.-Wash., 7.0 percent each.  For the sixth consecutive month,
Washington, D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va., posted the lowest unemployment rate among
these large areas, 3.2 percent, followed by Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.-
Wis., 3.5 percent.  Over the year, jobless rates were up in 34 of these
large areas, down in 13 areas, and unchanged in 4 areas.  Among this group,
Houston, Texas, recorded the largest over-the-year rate increase (+1.2
percentage points).  Two other areas had rate increases of a percentage
point or more from November 2001--Columbus, Ohio (+1.1 percentage points),
and Sacramento, Calif. (+1.0 point).  Miami, Fla., again reported the
largest over-the-year rate decline among the large areas (-1.4 percentage
points), followed by Orlando, Fla. (-1.0 point).

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Among the 274 metropolitan areas for which November nonfarm payroll data
were available, 159 reported over-the-year declines in employment, 106 re-
ported increases, and 9 had no change.  The largest over-the-year employment 
decreases were posted in Chicago, Ill. (-55,700), New York, N.Y. (-42,500), 
Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (-35,300), and Atlanta, Ga. (-30,000).  The 
largest over-the-year percentage declines in employment were reported in 
Decatur, Ill. (-4.0 percent), Flint, Mich. (-3.6 percent), Boulder-Longmont, 
Colo. (-3.2 percent), and Albany, Ga. (-3.0 percent).  (See table 2.)

   The largest over-the-year employment increases were recorded in
Riverside-San Bernardino, Calif. (+25,700), followed by Las Vegas, Nev.-
Ariz. (+24,900), San Diego, Calif. (+22,400), and Miami, Fla. (+15,900).
The largest percentage increases in employment occurred in Fayetteville-
Springdale-Rogers, Ark. (+3.6 percent), McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas
(+3.3 percent), Las Vegas, Nev.-Ariz. (+3.2 percent), and Elkhart-Goshen,
Ind., and Tacoma, Wash. (+3.0 percent each).

   Over the year, nonfarm employment declined in 28 of the 38 metropolitan
areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2001.  The
largest over-the-year percentage declines in employment in these large met-
ropolitan areas were posted in San Jose, Calif. (-2.9 percent), Seattle-
Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (-2.5 percent), and San Francisco, Calif. (-2.2
percent).  Among the largest areas, Las Vegas, Nev.-Ariz., had the highest
over-the-year percentage increase in employment (+3.2 percent), followed by
Riverside-San Bernardino, Calif. (+2.4 percent), and San Diego, Calif.
(+1.8 percent).

   Over the year, employment growth was most prevalent in government, in
services, and in finance, insurance, and real estate with increases in 177,
171, and 121 metropolitan areas, respectively.  Manufacturing continued to
be the weakest industry division, with 207 metropolitan areas experiencing
employment losses over the year.

 | converted from the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)      |
 | basis to the 2002 North American Industry classification System       |
 |(NAICS) basis with the release of January 2003 estimates in March 2003.|
 | The NAICS conversion involves major definitional changes to many of   |
 | the currently published SIC-based series.  After the conversion to    |
 | NAICS, SIC-based series will no longer be produced or published.      |
 | Historical time series will be reconstructed as part of the NAICS     |
 | conversion process.  At the state and metropolitan area levels, the   |
 | NAICS-based reconstruction effort will cover only the all employee    |
 | series, which will have a NAICS-based history extending back to       |
 | January 1990, except for total nonfarm employment series, which will  |
 | retain their current beginning dates.  There will be no reconstruction|
 | of average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, or other data types;|
 | these series will begin in January 2001 on a NAICS basis.             |
 |                                                                       |

 | the completion of the CES sample redesign phase-in at the state and   |
 | metropolitan area levels.  The redesign converts the CES from a quota-|
 | based sample to a probability-based sample.  In March 2003, at the    |
 | state and metropolitan area levels, the transportation and public     |
 | utilities; finance, insurance, and real estate; retail trade; and     |
 | services industries will be converted to the new sample.  All other   |
 | private sector industries have already been converted.  The final     |
 | stage of sample redesign phase-in may result in level shifts for      |
 | average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, and production worker  |
 | employment series.  New levels for these series are being recomputed  |
 | from the NAICS-based probability sample.                              |
 |                                                                       |
 |   Small domain models.  With the full implementation of the CES       |
 | sample redesign at the state and metropolitan area levels in March    |
 | 2003, some redistribution of sample from smaller to larger metro-     |
 | politan areas will be needed in order to maximize the reliability     |
 | of the statewide total nonfarm estimates.  In order to sustain the    |
 | viability of the employment series for smaller domains, primarily     |
 | detailed industry series within the smallest metropolitan areas, the  |
 | Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has developed a small domain model,  |
 | based on weighted least squares regression methodology.  The inputs   |
 | for the model are available sample, time series history, and addi-    |
 | tional information from the full state sample.  In March 2003, the    |
 | model will be implemented as the official estimator for the approxi-  |
 | mately 10 percent of CES published series which have insufficient     |
 | sample for direct sample-based estimates.                             |

Technical Note


     This release presents labor force and unemployment data from
the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (table 1)
for 337 metropolitan areas, including those in Puerto Rico.  Nonfarm
payroll employment estimates from the Current Employment Statistics
(CES) program (table 2) are provided for over 270 of these 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 have 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), have actively looked for a job (sometime in the
4-week period ending with the survey reference week), and are
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 1996, estimates for
all states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach
metropolitan area, and New York City are produced using estimating
equations based on regression techniques.  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 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 with January estimates.  The adjusted estimates
reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census Bureau and
any revisions in the other data sources.  In addition, data for
all states, the District of Columbia, and the two large substate
areas noted are adjusted annually to equal the CPS annual
averages, usually effective with January estimates.  All other 
substate estimates are adjusted to add to the revised (benchmarked)
state 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 which includes the 12th of the month, except for federal
government employment, which represents the number of persons who
occupied positions on the last day 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 product or activity in accordance with the 1987 Standard
Industrial Classification Manual.
     
     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.
     
     Annual revisions.  Employment estimates are adjusted annually
to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived
principally from tax reports which 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, in most instances, from unrounded data rather than
from data that may be displayed in the tables; differences,
however, are generally insignificant.
     
     Labor force and unemployment estimates.  Measures of sampling
error, in the form of the standard errors for state annual average
estimates derived from the CPS, are available in the annual BLS
bulletin, Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment.
Error measures cannot be computed for substate areas because of
the special estimation processes used.  Measures of nonsampling
error for CPS data 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 are not
available for state CES data, but the relatively large size of the
samples maintained by the state agencies and the annual adjustment
of employment estimates to more recent benchmark levels assure a
high degree of accuracy.  Information on recent benchmark
revisions for states is available upon request.
     
     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, dated June 30, 1996.  A
detailed list of the geographic definitions 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 Superin-
tendent 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 two areas are available in the news release, Regional and
State Employment and Unemployment.  Estimates of labor force and
unemplopment 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 from the BLS Internet at
(http://stats.bls.gov/lau/).  Employment data from the CES
program are available at (http://stats.bls.gov/sae/).
