Chicago Area Employment – August 2014
Job Growth Slower than Average Over the Year
Total nonfarm employment in the Chicago-Joliet-Naperville Metropolitan Statistical Area stood at
4,510,600 in August 2014, up 38,300 or 0.9 percent over the year, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. During the same period, the national job count increased 1.8 percent. Regional
Commissioner Charlene Peiffer noted that the Chicago area has recorded over-the-year job growth of at
least 21,000 since October 2010. (See chart 1 and table 1. All data in this release are not seasonally
adjusted; over-the-year analysis is used throughout.)
The Chicago metropolitan area is made up of three metropolitan divisions—separately identifiable
employment centers within the larger metropolitan area. The Chicago-Joliet-Naperville Metropolitan
Division, which accounted for 85 percent of the area’s workforce, added 33,600 jobs from August a year
ago. (See table 1.) Employment in the Lake County-Kenosha County, Ill.-Wis. Metropolitan Division grew
by 4,100 while employment in the Gary, Ind. Metropolitan Division recorded little change over the year.
Industry employment
The largest over-the-year employment increase in the Chicago metropolitan area in August 2014 was in
professional and business services, up 18,600. The local area’s 2.4-percent rate of job growth in this
supersector was less than the 3.5-percent gain nationwide. (See chart 2 and table 1.) Professional and
business services, Chicago’s second-largest supersector, has recorded over-the-year employment gains of
more than 13,000 each month since June 2010.
Construction employment expanded in the local area by 6,900 or 4.3 percent from August a year ago.
Nationally, during the same period, the rate of job growth was 3.9 percent. Chicago’s construction
supersector had over-the-year employment gains of 4,000 or more for each month since June 2014.
Leisure and hospitality employment increased by 5,900, a 1.3-percent gain from August 2013 to August
2014. Nationwide, employment in this supersector rose 2.4 percent from August a year ago. Locally, leisure
and hospitality has experienced consecutive over-the-year employment gains since August 2010.
Government added 3,900 jobs from August a year ago. The 0.7-percent rate of local job growth exceeded
the 0.2-percent increase nationwide. Locally, this supersector has registered over-the-year employment
gains of 1,500 or more since November 2013.
Two other local supersectors recorded over-the-year employment gains of more than 3,000. Education and
health services gained 3,400 jobs in the Chicago area, a 0.5-percent increase while employment in trade,
transportation and utilities rose by 3,300, or 0.4 percent from last August. Nationally, these sectors recorded
gains of 1.8 percent and 2.0 percent, respectively.
In contrast, two local supersectors recorded over-the-year employment losses of more than 1,000 in August
2014. Manufacturing lost 2,300 jobs in the Chicago area, a 0.6-percent decrease while employment in
financial activities fell by 1,300, or 0.4 percent from last August. Nationally, these sectors recorded gains of
1.4 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively.
2
Employment in the 12 largest metropolitan areas
Chicago-Joliet-Naperville was 1 of the nation’s 12 largest metropolitan statistical areas in August 2014. All
of these areas experienced over-the-year job growth, with six exceeding or matching the national average of
1.8 percent. The fastest rate of job growth was registered in Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, up 3.9 percent,
more than double that for the nation. Detroit-Warren-Livonia had the smallest increase, up 0.1 percent. (See
chart 3 and table 2.)
The New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island area added the largest number of jobs, 156,500, since
August 2013. Two other metropolitan areas gained more than 100,000 jobs—Houston (107,400) and DallasFort Worth-Arlington (101,500). Detroit recorded the smallest employment gain over the year, up 2,700
jobs, and was the only area of the 12 to add fewer than 10,000 jobs.
Professional and business services led employment growth in 6 of the 12 metropolitan areas over the year:
Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, and San
Francisco-Oakland-Fremont. (See table 2.) Education and health services recorded the largest gains in four
areas: Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Houston, New York, and Philadelphia.
Over the year, government recorded the largest loss of jobs in two areas—New York and Philadelphia.
Manufacturing lost the most jobs in two areas—Chicago and Los Angeles. Dallas, Houston, and Miami
experienced no annual job losses in any supersector.
Technical Note
This release presents nonfarm payroll employment estimates from the Current Employment Statistics (CES)
program. The CES survey is a Federal-State cooperative endeavor between State employment security
agencies and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
3
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 survey,
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 specific estimation processes used.
The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals shown in the same tables because of rounding.
Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error are available for state CES data at the total nonfarm
and supersector level and for metropolitan area CES data. Information on recent benchmark revisions for
states is available on the BLS Web site 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 dated December 1, 2009. A detailed list of the
geographic definitions is available at www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.
The Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) includes Cook,
DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties in Illinois; Jasper, Lake,
Newton, and Porter Counties in Indiana; and Kenosha County in Wisconsin.
