METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT – DECEMBER 2009
Unemployment rates were higher in December than a year earlier in 371 of the 372 metropolitan areas
and lower in 1 area, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Nineteen areas recorded jobless
rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 10 areas registered rates below 5.0 percent. The national unemployment rate in December was 9.7 percent, not seasonally adjusted, up from 7.1 percent a year earlier.
Among the 369 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll employment were available, 356 areas
reported over-the-year decreases in employment, 12 reported increases, and 1 remained unchanged.
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In December, 138 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, up from 42 areas
a year earlier, while 68 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, down from 205 areas in December 2008.
El Centro, Calif., continued to record the highest unemployment rate, 27.7 percent. Merced, Calif.,
registered the next highest rate, 19.8 percent. Among the 19 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0
percent, 12 were located in California and 3 were in Michigan. Fargo, N.D.-Minn., registered the lowest unemployment rate in December, 4.0 percent, closely followed by Grand Forks, N.D.-Minn., and
Lincoln, Neb., 4.1 percent each. Overall, 146 areas recorded unemployment rates above the U.S. figure
of 9.7 percent, 221 areas reported rates below it, and 5 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See
table 1 and the map.)
Weirton-Steubenville, W.Va.-Ohio, recorded the largest jobless rate increase from December 2008 (+5.9
percentage points). The areas with the next largest rate increases were Farmington, N.M. (+5.4 percentage points); Decatur, Ill., and Palm Coast, Fla. (+5.1 points each); and Casper, Wyo., and Peoria, Ill.
(+5.0 points each). One area, Elkhart-Goshen, Ind., posted an unemployment rate decrease over the year
of 1.2 percentage points to 14.8 percent.
Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, Detroit-WarrenLivonia, Mich., reported the highest unemployment rate in December, 14.9 percent. The large area
with the next highest rate was Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., 14.0 percent. Seventeen
additional large areas posted rates of 10.0 percent or more. The large areas with the lowest jobless
rates in December were Oklahoma City, Okla., and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.W.Va., 6.0 and 6.2 percent, respectively. All 49 large areas registered over-the-year unemployment rate
increases of 0.8 percentage point or more. Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev., had the largest jobless rate increase
from a year earlier (+4.4 percentage points), followed by Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (+4.3 points).
Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are composed of 34 metropolitan divisions, which are
essentially separately identifiable employment centers. In December, the two divisions that comprise the
Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., metropolitan area registered the highest jobless rates: Detroit-LivoniaDearborn, 15.7 percent, and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, 14.3 percent. The division with the next
highest rate was Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 13.7 percent. Bethesda-Frederick-Rockville,
Md., reported the lowest unemployment rate among the divisions, 5.3 percent, followed by WashingtonArlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 6.4 percent. These two divisions make up the WashingtonArlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., metropolitan area. (See table 2.)
In December, all 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate increases of at least 1.2
percentage points. Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich., and Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla., experienced the largest rate increases (+4.4 and +4.3 percentage points, respectively). Two other areas had
rate increases of 4.0 percentage points or more: Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H. (+4.1 points),
and Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich. (+4.0 points).
In 5 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowest
division jobless rates were 2.0 percentage points or more in December. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy,
Mass.-N.H., posted the largest rate difference among its divisions, 6.7 percentage points (LawrenceMethuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 13.7 percent, compared with Nashua, N.H.-Mass., 7.0 percent).
Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In December, 356 metropolitan areas reported over-the-year decreases in nonfarm payroll employment,
12 reported increases, and 1 remained unchanged. The largest over-the-year employment decrease was
recorded in Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. (-182,300), followed by Los Angeles-Long BeachSanta Ana, Calif. (-164,200), New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (-150,400),
Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-114,500), and Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, Ga. (-105,300). The
largest over-the-year percentage losses in employment were reported in Grand Junction, Colo. (-7.7
percent), Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev., and Ocean City, N.J. (-7.4 percent each), and Flint, Mich. (-7.0
percent). (See table 3.)
The largest over-the-year increases in employment occurred in Kennewick-Pasco-Richland, Wash.
(+3,700), Bloomington, Ind., and McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas (+1,800 each), and St. Joseph,
Mo.-Kan. (+1,100). The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment were reported in
Kennewick-Pasco-Richland, Wash. (+4.0 percent), Bloomington, Ind., and Sandusky, Ohio (+2.2
percent each), and St. Joseph, Mo.-Kan. (+1.9 percent).
Over-the-year, nonfarm employment declined in all 38 metropolitan areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2008. The largest over-the-year percentage decreases in employment in
these large metropolitan areas were posted in Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev. (-7.4 percent), Detroit-WarrenLivonia, Mich. (-6.2 percent), Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis, Wis. (-5.7 percent), and PhoenixMesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-5.0 percent).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in December 2009 for 32 metropolitan divisions,
which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area. Thirtyone of the 32 metropolitan divisions reported over-the-year employment losses. The largest over-theyear employment decrease in the metropolitan divisions occurred in Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.
(-163,200), followed by Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (-115,300), New York-White PlainsWayne, N.Y.-N.J. (-103,500), and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich. (-82,700). Bethesda-FrederickRockville, Md., was the only metropolitan division with an employment increase over the year (+3,100),
which was a 0.5 percent gain. (See table 4.)
The largest over-the-year percentage decrease in employment among the metropolitan divisions was
reported in Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich. (-7.5 percent), followed by San Francisco-San MateoRedwood City, Calif. (-4.6 percent), Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill., and Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn,

The Regional and State Unemployment, 2009 Annual Averages news release is scheduled to be
released on Friday, February 26, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (EST). The Regional and State Employment
and Unemployment news release for January is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, March
10, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (EST). The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news
release for January is scheduled to be released on Friday, March 19, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).

Upcoming Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data
Effective with the release of 2009 annual average estimates on February 26, the labor
force data for all states, the District of Columbia, and the seven substate modeled areas
presented in tables 1 and 2 of this news release will be revised to incorporate updated
inputs, updated population controls, reestimation of models, and adjustment to new
census division and national control totals. The updated population controls reflect the
annual updating of population estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau. Labor force estimates for all other metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions subsequently will be
revised to reflect updated inputs and the new statewide estimates. Data back to 2005
are subject to revision.
Effective with the release of January 2010 area data on March 19, the titles of several
metropolitan areas and divisions will be changed to reflect updates in Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 10-02, issued on December 1, 2009. For specific information on title changes, see the above mentioned bulletin, available on the Internet at
www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm, or call (202) 691-6392.
In addition, on February 26, the Local Area Unemployment Statistics program will introduce a long-run trend smoothing procedure to its seasonally adjusted data series back to
January 1976. (Seasonally adjusted data are available for states, census regions, census
divisions, and select major metropolitan areas only.) The smoothing procedure reduces
month-to-month volatility in the estimates and addresses long-standing issues related to
end-of-year revisions that will enhance the analytical capability of the estimates. For
more information about this topic, please see the questions and answers on our Web site
at www.bls.gov/lau/lassaqa.htm.
Upcoming Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data
Effective with the release of January 2010 estimates, all nonfarm payroll employment
estimates for states and areas presented in tables 3 and 4 of this news release will be adjusted to 2009 benchmark levels. A common start year of 1990 for seasonally adjusted
series also will be implemented with the 2010 benchmark. As a result, seasonally adjusted series will be subject to revision from 1990 forward. Not seasonally adjusted
payroll data back to April 2008 also will be subject to revision.
In addition, the titles of several metropolitan areas and divisions will be changed to reflect updates in the Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 10-02, issued on
December 1, 2009. For specific information on title changes, see the above mentioned
bulletin available at www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm, or call (202) 691-6392.
Also, data for Manhattan, Kan.; Mankato-North Mankato, Minn.; and Cape GirardeauJackson, Mo.-Ill., metropolitan areas will be added to table 3 of this news release with the
publication of January 2010 data. Historical data back to 1990 will be available for these
three areas.

Technical Note
This release presents labor force and unemployment
data from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)
program (tables 1 and 2) for 372 metropolitan statistical areas
and metropolitan New England City and Town Areas
(NECTAs), plus 8 areas in Puerto Rico. Estimates for 34
metropolitan and NECTA divisions also are presented.
Nonfarm payroll employment estimates from the Current
Employment Statistics (CES) program (tables 3 and 4) are
provided for most of the same 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 LAUS program measures
employment and unemployment on a place-of-residence
basis. The universe for each is the civilian noninstitutional
population 16 years of age and over. Employed persons are
those who did any work at all for pay or profit in the
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 had 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 were not employed
during the reference week (based on the definition above),
had actively looked for a job sometime in the 4-week period
ending with the reference week, and were currently available
for work; persons on layoff expecting recall need not be
looking for work to be counted as unemployed. The labor
force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons. The
unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a percent
of the labor force.
Method of estimation. Estimates for states, the District
of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale
metropolitan division, and New York City are produced using
time-series models with real-time benchmarking to national
CPS totals. Model-based estimation was extended to the
following areas and their respective balances of state in 2005:
the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, IL Metropolitan Division;
Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area;
Detroit-Warren-Livonia, MI Metropolitan Statistical Area;
Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, FL Metropolitan Division;
New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, LA Metropolitan Statistical
Area; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA Metropolitan
Division. (Model-based estimation of the New OrleansMetairie-Kenner metropolitan area was suspended following
Hurricane Katrina; the indirect estimation methods described
below will be used for this area until further notice.)
Modeling improves the statistical basis of the estimation for
these areas and provides important tools for analysis, such as
measures of errors and seasonally adjusted series. For all
other substate areas in this release, estimates are prepared
through indirect estimation procedures using a building-block
approach. 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 insurance (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 or balanceof-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 implemented with January estimates.
The adjusted model-based estimates reflect updated
population data from the U.S. Census Bureau, any revisions
in the other data sources, and model reestimation. All
substate estimates are reestimated and adjusted to add to the
revised model-based 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 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 44
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 surveys, 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 particular estimation
processes used. The sums of individual items may not
always equal the totals shown in the same tables because of
rounding.
Unemployment rates are computed from
unrounded data and thus may differ slightly from rates
computed using the rounded data displayed in the tables.
Labor force and unemployment estimates. Modelbased error measures are available for states on the BLS Web
site at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. Measures of
nonsampling error are not available, but additional
information on the subject is provided in Employment and
Earnings Online at http://www.bls.gov/opub/ee/home.htm.
Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error
for state CES data at the supersector level and for metro-
politan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are available
online at http://www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Information
on recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the
BLS Web site at http://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 on November 20, 2008. Data
reflect New England City and Town Area (NECTA)
definitions, rather than county-based definitions, in the six
New England States. A detailed list of the geographic definitions is available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.
Additional information
More complete information on the technical procedures
used to develop these estimates and additional data appear in
Employment and Earnings Online.
Estimates of unadjusted and seasonally adjusted labor
force and unemployment data for states, census regions and
divisions, and seven substate 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 on the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/lau/.
Employment data from the CES program are available on the
BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/sae/.

Part of the area (or division) is in one or more adjacent states.
All of the division is in one or more adjacent states.
p = preliminary.
NOTE: Data refer to place of residence. Area definitions are based on Office of
Management and Budget Bulletin No. 09-01, dated November 20, 2008, and are
available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm. Areas in the six New England
states are Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas
in other states are county-based. Some metropolitan areas lie in two or more states.
They are listed under the state that corresponds to the first city in their title.
3
Metropolitan divisions are listed under their metropolitan areas. Some divisions lie in
more than one state, and some, like Camden, N.J., are totally outside the states
under which their metropolitan areas are listed. Three sets of metropolitan areas
and divisions have similar or identical titles. For Washington-Arlington-Alexandria,
D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., the metropolitan area and division titles are identical. For the
Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., and Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis.,
metropolitan areas, the division titles are similar but include only Massachusetts and
Illinois, respectively. Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the
following month.

Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 09-01,
dated November 20, 2008, and available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm. Areas
in the six New England states are Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas
(NECTAs), while areas in other states are county-based. Some metropolitan areas lie in
two or more states. They are listed under the state that appears first in their titles.
Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill., and Weirton-Steubenville, W. Va.-Ohio, are the
exceptions in that they are listed under Illinois and Ohio, respectively, for operational
reasons.
