   METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:  MAY 2001
   
   In May, 206 metropolitan areas recorded unemployment rates below the
U.S. average (4.1 percent, not seasonally adjusted), while 118 areas
registered higher rates, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S.
Department of Labor reported today.  Among the 16 metropolitan areas with
rates below 2.0 percent, 9 were in the Midwest and 4 were in New England.
Five of the seven areas with jobless rates over 10.0 percent were in
California's Central Valley, and the two remaining areas were along the
Mexican border in other states.
   
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
   
   Forty-seven metropolitan areas recorded unemployment rates of 5.5 percent
or more, while 38 areas had rates below 2.5 percent in May.  Yuma, Ariz.,
where summer jobless rates are about double the winter rates, reported the
highest rate in May, 29.1 percent.  The next highest rate was in Visalia-
Tulare-Porterville, Calif., 13.2 percent.  The lowest unemployment rates
were in Columbia, Mo., and Fargo-Moorhead, N.D.-Minn., 1.4 percent each.
(See table 1 and the chart.)
   
   Compared with last May, 181 metropolitan areas reported higher rates,
132 areas had lower rates, and 18 areas were unchanged.  (The U.S. rate
edged up 0.2 percentage point from a year earlier.)  Hickory-Morganton-
Lenoir, N.C., registered the largest over-the-year rate increase,
3.8 percentage points, followed by Danville, Va., and Gadsden, Ala.,
2.5 points each.  Thirty-seven additional areas posted increases of
1.0 percentage point or more, with seven of these in Michigan, five in
North Carolina, and four each in Illinois and Massachusetts.  The largest
over-the-year rate decrease was in Yuma, Ariz., -4.8 percentage points.
Biloxi-Gulfport-Pascagoula, Miss., had the second largest rate decline,
-1.8 points.  Fourteen other areas recorded decreases of at least
1.0 percentage point.
   
   Of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 1990 census population of 1 million
or more, 33 reported unemployment rates below the U.S. average in May,
while 16 had rates above it.  The lowest rates were in Denver, Colo., and
Indianapolis, Ind. (2.2 percent each).  Miami, Fla., continued to report
the highest jobless rate (5.8 percent), followed by Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock
Hill, N.C.-S.C. (5.3 percent), and Chicago, Ill. (5.0 percent).  Among
these large areas, 33 registered over-the-year rate increases, 15 had rate
decreases, and 3 reported no change.  Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, N.C.-
S.C., recorded the largest over-the-year rate increase, 2.3 percentage
points, followed by Detroit, Mich., 1.5 points, and Greensboro--Winston-
Salem--High Point, N.C., 1.4 points.  These areas were affected by
increased unemployment in the manufacturing sector.  Compared with last
May, the largest rate declines occurred in New York, N.Y., -0.6 percentage
point, and Indianapolis, Ind., and Riverside-San Bernardino, Calif.,
-0.5 point each.

                                  - 2 -  

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
   
   Among the 274 metropolitan areas for which May nonfarm payroll data were
available, 189 reported over-the-year increases in employment, 78 reported
declines, and 7 had no change.  The largest employment increase occurred in
Washington, D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va. (89,300), followed by Dallas, Texas (66,300),
New York, N.Y. (62,400), and Los Angeles-Long Beach, Calif. (52,500).  The
largest over-the-year percent increases were reported in Las Vegas, Nev.-Ariz.
(4.6 percent), Charleston-North Charleston, S.C. (4.3 percent), and Stockton-
Lodi, Calif. (4.0 percent).  (See table 2.)
   
   The largest over-the-year employment declines were posted in Detroit,
Mich. (-10,100), New Orleans, La. (-4,900), Youngstown-Warren, Ohio
(-4,600), and Hartford, Conn. (-4,500).  The largest over-the-year percentage
declines were recorded in Kokomo, Ind. (-4.6 percent), Dubuque, Iowa
(-3.0 percent), Missoula, Mont. (-2.7 percent), and Stuebenville-Weirton,
Ohio-W.Va. (-2.5 percent).
   
   Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 34 of the 38 metropolitan
areas with 2000 annual average employment levels above 750,000.  Of these
areas, Las Vegas, Nev.-Ariz., had the highest over-the-year growth rate
(4.6 percent), followed by Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla.
(3.9 percent), Denver, Colo. (3.4 percent), Dallas, Texas (3.3 percent), and
Washington, D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va. (3.2 percent).  Over-the-year employment
decreases were reported in Detroit, Mich. (-10,100), Pittsburgh, Pa. (-2,700),
Cleveland-Lorain-Elyria, Ohio (-2,400), and Philadelphia, Pa.-N.J. (-700).
   
   Over the year, employment growth was widespread in services, trade, and
construction, with increases in 233, 203, and 181 metropolitan areas,
respectively.  Manufacturing remained the weakest industry division, with
194 metropolitan areas experiencing employment losses over the year.

 |   Beginning in September 2000, the Census Bureau expanded the          | 
 | monthly sample for the Current Population Survey (CPS) to meet the     |
 | requirements of the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP)  |
 | legislation.  This legislation requires that the Census Bureau improve |
 | state estimates of the number of children who live in low-income       |
 | families and lack health insurance.  These estimates are obtained from |
 | the Annual Demographic Supplement to the CPS.  The expansion of the    |
 | monthly CPS sample was one part of the Census Bureau's plan for        |
 | strengthening the SCHIP estimates.  The monthly CPS sample was         |
 | increased in 31 states and the District of Columbia, and the total     |
 | number of households eligible for the survey rose from about 50,000    |
 | nationally to about 60,000.  The additional households were introduced |
 | into the survey over a 3-month period beginning in September 2000.     |                                                   |
 |                                                                        |
 |    In the September 2000 Employment Situation news release (USDL 00-   |
 | 284), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stated that it would not    |
 | use the additional sample to produce the official labor force          |
 | estimates prior to the release of July 2001 data in August.  This      |
 | delay would allow for sufficient time to evaluate the differences,     |
 | if any, between estimates obtained from the current and the expanded   |
 | household sample.  BLS evaluated the monthly data for the nation and   |
 | states from the two samples and found no significant differences in    |
 | estimates.  Thus, for both national and sub-national estimation, BLS   |
 | is proceeding with implementation of the expanded sample with July     |
 | estimates.                                                             |
 |                                                                        |
 |    As part of the implementation of the expanded sample with July      |
 | estimates, June revised state LAUS estimates also will reflect the     |
 | expanded sample data.  This will allow for the analysis of over-the    |
 | month changes on a consistent basis.  Sub-state estimates, which are   |
 | controlled to state totals, will be affected, also effective with the  |
 | August issuance of July preliminary and June revised data.  The state  |
 | and area LAUS estimates for January through May will not be revised at |
 | that time.  Rather, the January-May expanded sample will be incorpo-   |
 | rated into the LAUS estimates as part of the annual LAUS end-of-year   |
 | benchmarking of 2001 data.                                             |

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 sub-state
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 sub-state 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 sub-state
areas noted are adjusted annually to equal the CPS annual
averages, usually effective with January estimates.  All other sub-
state 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 sub-state 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 sub-state 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.

     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/lauhome.htm).  Employment data from the CES
program are available at (http://stats.bls.gov/790home.htm).
