METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: JUNE 2002
In June, 268 metropolitan areas recorded higher unemployment rates than a year earlier, 54 areas had
lower rates, and 9 had rates that were unchanged, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor reported today. Eleven metropolitan areas registered jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, six of
which were located in California’s Central Valley and three of which were along the Mexican border
in other states. Fifteen areas recorded unemployment rates below 3.0 percent, with six of these areas in
the Midwest, five in the South, and four in the Northeast. The national unemployment rate in June was
6.0 percent, not seasonally adjusted.
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Eighty metropolitan areas posted unemployment rates of at least 6.5 percent in June, up from 49 areas
a year earlier, while 31 areas had rates below 3.5 percent, down from 67 areas in June 2001. Yuma,
Ariz., where summer jobless rates are nearly twice those of the winter, continued to report the highest
unemployment rate, 29.5 percent. Two areas in California again recorded the next highest rates—Merced,
14.2 percent, and Visalia-Tulare-Porterville, 14.0 percent. Sioux Falls, S.D., registered the lowest
unemployment rate, 2.1 percent, closely followed by Bryan-College Station, Texas, and Fargo-Moorhead,
N.D.-Minn., 2.2 percent each. (See table 1 and the map.)
San Jose, Calif., for the sixth month in a row, reported the largest over-the-year unemployment rate
increase (+3.2 percentage points). Nine areas posted increases ranging from 2.0 to 2.3 percentage points.
Ninety-nine other areas registered increases of at least 1.0 percentage point. Gadsden, Ala., and Yakima,
Wash., recorded the largest over-the-year rate decreases (-1.9 and -1.8 percentage points, respectively).
Eight more areas, five of which were located in the South, had decreases of at least 1.0 percentage point.
Of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 1990 census population of 1 million or more, San Jose, Calif.,
recorded the highest unemployment rate, 7.6 percent, closely followed by Dallas, Texas, Miami, Fla., and
Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash., 7.5 percent each. Among these large areas, Washington, D.C.-Md.-Va.W.Va., and Orange County, Calif., had the lowest rates, 3.9 and 4.0 percent, respectively. San Jose,
Calif., continued to report the largest over-the-year jobless rate increase (+3.2 percentage points), followed
by Dallas, Texas (+2.2 points). Denver, Colo., and New York, N.Y., posted the next largest rate increases
(+2.0 percentage points each). Among the 51 large areas, Providence-Fall River-Warwick, R.I., was the
only area to record an unemployment rate decline from last June (-0.5 percentage point).
2
Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Among the 274 metropolitan areas for which June nonfarm payroll data were available, 174 reported
over-the-year declines in employment, 92 reported increases, and 8 had no change. The largest over-theyear employment decreases were posted in New York, N.Y. (-97,800), Chicago, Ill. (-67,500), Atlanta,
Ga. (-58,300), Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (-47,300), and San Jose, Calif. (-45,700). 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 San Jose, Calif. (-4.5 percent), Lawrence, Kan. (-3.7 percent),
and Gary, Ind., and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (-3.3 percent each). (See table 2.)
The largest over-the-year employment increases were recorded in Riverside-San Bernardino, Calif.
(+30,700), followed by San Diego, Calif. (+21,200), Las Vegas, Nev.-Ariz. (+11,400), and Kansas City,
Mo.-Kan. (+10,900). The largest percentage increases in employment occurred in Riverside-San
Bernardino, Calif. (+3.0 percent), and Sioux Falls, S.D., and McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas
(+2.5 percent each).
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. (-4.5 percent), Seattle-Bellevue-Everett,
Wash. (-3.3 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 (+3.0 percent), followed
by San Diego, Calif. (+1.7 percent), and Las Vegas, Nev.-Ariz. (+1.5 percent).
Over the year, employment growth was most prevalent in government, in services, and in finance,
insurance, and real estate with increases in 190, 145, and 121 metropolitan areas, respectively.
Manufacturing continued to be the weakest industry division, with 237 metropolitan areas experiencing
employment losses over the year.

Upcoming Changes to State and Metropolitan Area
Nonfarm Payroll Series in March 2003
NAICS conversion. The nonfarm payroll series for states and metropolitan areas,
produced from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program and presented in table 2
of this news release, will be converted from the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
basis to the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) basis with the
release in March 2003 of January 2003 estimates. 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 level, 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.
Completion of the CES sample redesign. March 2003 also will mark the completion
of the CES sample redesign phase-in at the state and metropolitan area level. The redesign
converts the CES from a quota-based sample to a probability-based sample. In March 2003,
at the state and metropolitan area level, 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 computed from
NAICS/probability sample-based averages.
Small domain models. With the full implementation of the CES sample redesign at the
state and metropolitan area level in March 2003, some redistribution of sample from smaller to
larger metropolitan 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
additional information from the full state sample. In March 2003, the model will be implemented
as the official estimator for the approximately 10 percent of CES published series which have
insufficient sample for direct sample-based estimates.
Further information on upcoming changes to CES data series is available through the BLS
public database at the state and area homepage at http://www.bls.gov/sae/ or by calling
202-691-6559.
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 currentmonth 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 monthto-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 unemployment 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/).
