       METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:  OCTOBER 2001
     

   In October, 227 metropolitan areas reported unemployment rates below the
U.S. average (5.0 percent, not seasonally adjusted), and 92 areas posted
higher rates, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor reported today.  Nine areas recorded rates below 2.0 percent; six of
these areas were in the Midwest and three were in the South.  Of the five
metropolitan areas with jobless rates over 10.0 percent, three were in
California's Central Valley and two were along the Mexican border in other
states.
   
   The metropolitan area employment and unemployment data for the month of
October reflect the impact of the terrorist attacks of September 11.  The
labor market in many areas had been weakening before the attacks, and those
events exacerbated this weakness.  While it is not possible to quantify the
effect of the terrorist attacks on employment and unemployment, the broad
impact of these events is evident.
   
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
   
   Sixty-six metropolitan areas registered unemployment rates of at least
5.5 percent in October, up from 36 a year ago.  Meanwhile, 19 areas had
rates below 2.5 percent, down from 75 areas in October 2000.  Yuma, Ariz.,
continued to have the highest unemployment rate (24.2 percent).  The next
highest rates were posted in two California areas:  Visalia-Tulare-Porter-
ville, 13.9 percent, and Fresno, 11.5 percent.  The lowest unemployment rates 
were in Fargo-Moorhead, N.D.-Minn., 1.1 percent, and Bismarck, N.D., 1.2 
percent.  (See table 1 and the map.)
   
   Since October 2000, San Jose, Calif., which includes most of the Silicon
Valley, recorded the largest over-the-year rate increase (+4.8 percentage
points).  Two other areas had rate increases over 4.0 percentage points:
Danville, Va. (+4.4 points), and Hickory-Morganton-Lenoir, N.C. (+4.1 points).  
Four additional areas registered increases of at least 3.0 percentage points, 
and 26 more had increases of 2.0 points or more.  One hundred and one addition-
al areas posted increases of a full percentage point or more.  Of those areas 
with increases of at least 1.0 point, 10 each were in Florida and Indiana, 8 
each were in Michigan and North Carolina, and 7 each were in Massachusetts and 
Texas.  The largest over-the-year rate decreases were in Gadsden, Ala. 
(-5.3 percentage points), and Yuma, Ariz. (-4.3 points), followed by seven 
other areas with decreases ranging from 1.0 percentage point to 1.5 points.  
The sizable over-the-year decline in joblessness in Gadsden followed a sharp 
increase last fall and gradual improvement since then.  Overall, 263 metropo-
litan areas recorded higher rates than last October, 51 areas had lower rates, 
and 17 areas were unchanged.
   
   Of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 1990 census population of 1 million
or more, Miami, Fla., continued to report the highest unemployment rate,
7.3 percent, followed again by Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash., and San
Jose, Calif., 6.4 percent each.  The lowest rates were in Columbus, Ohio,

                                  - 2 -

2.9 percent, and Hartford, Conn., 3.0 percent.  From October 2000, all of
these 51 large areas recorded rate increases, with the exception of New
Orleans, La., where the rate edged down 0.2 percentage point.  Three of the
five metropolitan areas with the largest jobless rate increases over the
year were in the Bay Area:  San Jose (+4.8 percentage points), San
Francisco (+2.4 points), and Oakland (+2.2 points).  Portland-Vancouver,
Ore.-Wash., and Dallas, Texas, recorded increases of 2.6 and 2.5 percentage
points, respectively.  Three additional areas posted over-the-year rate
increases of 2.0 points.
   
Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Among the 274 metropolitan areas for which October nonfarm payroll data
were available, 153 reported over-the-year increases in employment, 115
reported declines, and 6 had no change.  The largest employment increases
were reported in Dallas, Texas, Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla., and
Washington, D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va. (+46,000 each), followed by Houston, Texas
(+43,200).  The largest over-the-year percentage increases occurred in
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. (+3.8 percent), Fayetteville-
Springdale-Rogers, Ark. (+3.7 percent), West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, Fla.
(+3.4 percent), and Orlando, Fla. (+3.3 percent).  (See table 2.)
   
   The largest over-the-year employment declines were recorded in New 
York, N.Y. (-58,700), Detroit, Mich. (-38,200), Chicago, Ill. (-27,700), 
San Jose, Calif. (-27,300), and Atlanta, Ga. (-27,100).  The employment de-
cline in New York, N.Y. was largely attributable to the aftermath of the 
September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and reflected both
jobs that were lost due to decreased business activity and jobs that were
lost due to firms relocating elsewhere.  The largest over-the-year
percentage declines were posted in Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (-3.8 percent),
Steubenville-Weirton, Ohio-W.Va. (-3.7 percent), Bloomington, Ind. (-3.5
percent), and Rockford, Ill. (-3.3 percent).
   
   Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 24 of the 38 metropolitan
areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2000.  Of
these areas, Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla., had the highest over-
the-year growth rate (+3.8 percent), followed by Orlando, Fla. (+3.3 percent), 
Miami, Fla. (+2.4 percent), and Dallas, Texas (+2.3 percent).  The largest 
over-the-year percentage declines in employment in these large metropolitan 
areas were reported in San Jose, Calif. (-2.6 percent), Portland-Vancouver, 
Ore.-Wash. (-1.8 percent), and Detroit, Mich. (-1.7 percent).
   
   Over the year, employment growth was most widespread in services and
government, with increases in 193 and 202 metropolitan areas, respectively.
Manufacturing continued to be the weakest industry division, with 238
metropolitan areas experiencing employment losses over the year.

   The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for 
November 2001 is scheduled to be issued on Dec. 21.  The Metropolitan 
Area Employment and Unemployment release for November is scheduled to be 
issued on Jan. 3, 2002.
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.

develop these estimates and additional data appear in Employment
and Earnings, which is available by subscription for $50.00 a year
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 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/).

  NOTE:  Data refer to place of residence.  Data for Puerto Rico are derived from a monthly household survey similar to the Current
Population Survey.  All estimates are provisional and will be revised when new benchmark and population information becomes
available.  Area definitions are published annually in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.  Due to the expansion of the
Current Population Survey sample, estimates for June 2001 and later months may not be fully comparable with those of earlier
periods in the 31 States and the District of Columbia (as well as their substate areas) that were directly affected by the sample
expansion.  For additional information on the sample expansion, see "Expansion of the Current Population Survey Sample Effective
July 2001" in the August 2001 issue of Employment and Earnings.
