METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT – FEBRUARY 2010
Unemployment rates were higher in February than a year earlier in 347 of the 372 metropolitan areas,
lower in 21 areas, and unchanged in 4 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Twentynine areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 2 areas registered rates below 5.0 percent. The national unemployment rate in February was 10.4 percent, not seasonally adjusted, up from
8.9 percent a year earlier. Among the 371 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll data were available, 343 areas reported over-the-year decreases in employment, 26 reported increases, and 2 had no
change.
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In February, 187 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, up from 99 areas a
year earlier, while 42 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, down from 86 areas in February 2009. Three
areas in California again registered the highest unemployment rates: El Centro, 27.2 percent; Merced,
22.1 percent; and Yuba City, 21.6 percent. Among the 29 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, 13 were located in California and 4 were in Michigan. Fargo, N.D.-Minn., and Lincoln, Neb.,
registered the lowest unemployment rates in February, 4.6 and 4.9 percent, respectively. Overall, 165
areas recorded unemployment rates above the U.S. figure of 10.4 percent, 201 areas reported rates below
it, and 6 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and the map.)
Farmington, N.M., registered the largest jobless rate increase from February 2009 (+5.0 percentage
points). The areas with the next largest rate increases were Steubenville-Weirton, Ohio-W.Va. (+4.8
percentage points); Decatur, Ill., and Yuma, Ariz. (+4.5 points each); and Rockford, Ill. (+4.0 points).
All five of these areas experienced job losses in the goods-producing sector over the year. Thirty additional areas recorded jobless rate increases of 3.0 percentage points or more. Elkhart-Goshen, Ind.,
reported the largest over-the-year jobless rate decrease in February (-3.8 percentage points). Three other
areas posted rate decreases of at least 1.0 percentage point.
Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, Detroit-WarrenLivonia, Mich., and Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., reported the highest unemployment rates
in February, 15.3 and 14.7 percent, respectively. Twenty-two additional large areas posted rates of 10.0
percent or more. The large areas with the lowest jobless rates in February were New Orleans-MetairieKenner, La., 6.5 percent; Oklahoma City, Okla., 6.7 percent; and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria,
D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 6.9 percent. Forty-eight of the large areas registered over-the-year unemployment rate increases, the largest of which occurred in Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev. (+3.6 percentage points).
Three areas in Florida reported the next largest rate increases: Jacksonville, Orlando-KissimmeeSanford, and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater (+3.3 percentage points each). Minneapolis-St. PaulBloomington, Minn.-Wis., was the only large area to post a rate decrease over the year (-0.3 percentage
point).
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 February, the two divisions that comprise the
Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., metropolitan area again registered the highest jobless rates: DetroitLivonia-Dearborn, 16.1 percent, and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, 14.8 percent. Bethesda-RockvilleFrederick, Md., reported the lowest unemployment rate among the divisions, 6.2 percent, followed by
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 7.1 percent. These two divisions make up the
Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., metropolitan area. (See table 2.)
In February, all 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate increases. Lake CountyKenosha County, Ill.-Wis., and West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach, Fla., experienced the
largest rate increases (+3.2 and +3.1 percentage points, respectively). Eight other divisions had rate
increases of 2.0 percentage points or more, while four divisions had rate changes of less than 1.0 point.
Nassau-Suffolk, N.Y., posted the smallest rate increase (+0.6 percentage point).
In 6 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 February. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy,
Mass.-N.H., posted the largest rate difference among its divisions, 6.2 percentage points (LawrenceMethuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 14.1 percent, compared with Framingham, Mass., and Nashua, N.H.Mass., 7.9 percent each).
Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In February, among the 371 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll data were available, 343 areas
reported over-the-year decreases in employment, 26 reported increases, and 2 had no change. The largest over-the-year employment decrease was recorded in New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island,
N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (-206,100), followed by Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. (-190,300), ChicagoJoliet-Naperville, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. (-159,300), San Francisco-Oakland-Fremont, Calif. (-91,800), and

______________
The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment news release for March is scheduled to
be released on Friday, April 16, 2010, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Metropolitan Area Employment
and Unemployment news release for March is scheduled to be released on Wednesday, April 28,
2010, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).
Local Area Unemployment Data Series Changes
In accordance with annual practice, the metropolitan area and division labor force and
unemployment estimates presented in tables 1 and 2 of this release have been revised for
2009 to incorporate updated inputs and to reflect new state totals. Estimates on the BLS
Web site (except for supplemental rank tables) have not been revised and do not match
the estimates for 2009 in this release. Revised substate data for all months of 2005-09
will be released on April 16. For more information, see www.bls.gov/lau/launews1.htm.

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-Joliet-Naperville, 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 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 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 Internet at
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
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 www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. 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 on December 1, 2009. 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 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 www.bls.gov/lau/.
Employment data from the CES program are available on the
BLS Web site at www.bls.gov/sae/.

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. 10-02, dated December 1, 2009, available at
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. Metropolitan divisions
3
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-Joliet-Naperville, Ill.-Ind.-Wis.,
metropolitan area, the division title are similar but include only Massacuhusetts and
Illinois, respectively. Data for 2009 have been revised to incorporate updated inputs
and adjustments to new state controls. Estimates for the latest month are subject to
revision the following month.

Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 10-02,
dated December 1, 2009, and available at 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. is the exception since it is listed under Illinois for
operational reasons.
