          METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:  MAY 2002
  
   In May, 280 metropolitan areas reported higher unemployment rates than a 
year earlier, 43 areas had lower rates, and 8 had rates that were unchanged, 
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today.  
Nine metropolitan areas registered jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, 
six of which were located in California's Central Valley and two along the 
Mexican border in other states.  Twenty-seven areas recorded unemployment 
rates below 3.0 percent, with 10 of these areas in the Midwest and 9 in the 
South.  The national unemployment rate in May was 5.5 percent, not seasonally 
adjusted.

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Fifty-one metropolitan areas posted unemployment rates of at least 
6.5 percent in May, up from 27 areas a year earlier, while 54 areas had rates 
below 3.5 percent, down from 122 areas in May 2001.  Yuma, Ariz., where summer 
rates are nearly twice those of the winter, continued to record the highest 
jobless rate, 28.3 percent.  Four areas in California again recorded the next 
highest rates--Merced, 13.6 percent, Visalia-Tulare-Porterville, 12.9 percent, 
Yuba City, 12.8 percent, and Fresno, 12.7 percent.  Bryan-College Station, 
Texas, registered the lowest unemployment rate, 1.8 percent, closely followed 
by Columbia, Mo., and Fargo-Moorhead, N.D.-Minn., 1.9 percent each.  (See 
table 1 and the map.)

   San Jose, Calif., and Rocky Mount, N.C., again reported the largest over-
the-year unemployment rate increases (+3.7 and +3.5 percentage points, res-
pectively).  Seventeen additional areas posted increases of 2.0 percentage 
points or more.  The three areas with the largest over-the-year rate decreases 
continued to be Yuma, Ariz. (-1.8 percentage points), and Gadsden, Ala., and 
Yakima, Wash. (-0.9 point each).  Another six areas registered declines of at 
least 0.5 percentage point.

   Of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 1990 census population of 1 million 
or more, Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash., and San Jose, Calif., recorded the 
highest unemployment rates, 7.1 percent each, closely followed by Miami, Fla., 
and New York, N.Y., 7.0 percent each.  Among these 51 large areas, Orange 
County, Calif., posted the lowest unemployment rate, 3.6 percent. Minneapolis-
St. Paul, Minn., San Diego, Calif., and Washington, D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va., had 
the next lowest rates, 3.7 percent each.  San Jose, Calif., continued to 
report the largest over-the-year rate increase (+3.7 percentage points), 
again followed by Dallas, Texas (+2.6 points).  Six additional areas posted 
increases of at least 2.0 percentage points.  All 51 areas had rate increases 
over the year.

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Among the 274 metropolitan areas for which May nonfarm payroll data were 
available, 166 reported over-the-year declines in employment, 102 reported 
increases, and 6 had no change.  The largest over-the-year employment 
decreases were posted in New York, N.Y. (-101,200), Chicago, Ill. (-73,300), 
Atlanta, Ga. (-57,700), San Jose, Calif. (-54,600), and Seattle-Bellevue-
Everett, Wash. (-50,400).  Much of the employment decline in New York, N.Y., 
can be traced to the aftermath of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the 
World Trade Center.  The numbers reflect 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 in employment were 
reported in Bloomington, Ind. (-5.4 percent), San Jose, Calif. (-5.3 percent), 
Decatur, Ill. (-4.3 percent), Gary, Ind., (-3.9 percent), and Seattle-
Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (-3.6 percent). (See table 2.)
   
                                  - 2 -
   
   The largest over-the-year employment increases were recorded in Riverside-
San Bernardino, Calif. (+33,100), followed by San Diego, Calif. (+24,300), and 
Washington, D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va. (+11,800).  The largest percentage increases 
in employment occurred in Lafayette, Ind. (+4.2 percent), Riverside-San 
Bernardino, Calif. (+3.2 percent), and Springfield, Mo. (+2.7 percent).
  
   Over the year, nonfarm employment declined in 30 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
metropolitan areas were posted in San Jose, Calif. (-5.3 percent), 
Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (-3.6 percent), and San Francisco, Calif. 
(-2.9 percent).  Among the largest areas, Riverside-San Bernardino, Calif.,
had the highest over-the-year percentage increase in employment (+3.2 
percent), followed by San Diego, Calif. (+2.0 percent), and Las Vegas,
Nev.-Ariz. (+1.2 percent).

   Over the year, employment growth was most prevalent in government;
services; and finance, insurance, and real estate with increases in 190,
153, and 139 metropolitan areas, respectively.  Manufacturing continued to
be the weakest industry division, with 239 metropolitan areas experiencing
employment losses over the year.

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 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/).
