METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — DECEMBER 2011
Unemployment rates were lower in December than a year earlier in 329 of the 372 metropolitan areas,
higher in 36 areas, and unchanged in 7 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Ten
areas recorded jobless rates higher than 15.0 percent, while 24 areas registered rates of less than 5.0
percent. Two hundred thirty-nine metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll
employment, 127 reported decreases, and 6 had no change. The national unemployment rate in
December was 8.3 percent, not seasonally adjusted, down from 9.1 percent a year earlier.
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In December, 66 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, down from 110 areas
a year earlier, while 125 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, up from 71 areas in December 2010. El
Centro, Calif., and Yuma, Ariz., recorded the highest unemployment rates in December 2011, 26.8 and
23.1 percent, respectively. Seven of the other eight areas with jobless rates above 15.0 percent were
located in California. Bismarck, N.D., registered the lowest unemployment rate, 3.2 percent. The areas
with the next lowest rates were Lincoln, Neb., and Fargo, N.D.-Minn., 3.6 and 3.7 percent, respectively.
A total of 225 areas recorded December unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 8.3 percent, 143
areas reported rates above it, and 4 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and the map.)
The largest over-the-year unemployment rate decreases in December were registered in SteubenvilleWeirton, Ohio-W.Va. (-2.8 percentage points), and Redding, Calif. (-2.7 points). Twenty-seven other
areas recorded rate declines of 2.0 percentage points or more, and an additional 139 areas had decreases
of at least 1.0 point. Two areas in Washington, Kennewick-Pasco-Richland and Yakima, reported the
largest over-the-year jobless rate increases (+1.8 and +1.4 percentage points, respectively).
Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, the highest
unemployment rates in December were registered in Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev., 12.7 percent, and
Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., 12.2 percent. Five additional large areas posted rates of 10.0
percent or more. The lowest jobless rates among the large areas were recorded in Minneapolis-St. PaulBloomington, Minn.-Wis., and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 5.5 percent
each. Forty-six of the large areas reported over-the-year unemployment rate decreases, while three areas
registered increases. Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev., experienced the largest unemployment rate decline from
December 2010 (-2.4 percentage points), followed by Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach, Fla., and
Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. (-2.2 points each). The large area with the largest over-the-year
jobless rate increase was Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. (+0.6 percentage point).
Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are made up of 34 metropolitan divisions, which are
essentially separately identifiable employment centers. In December 2011, Los Angeles-Long BeachGlendale, Calif., registered the highest jobless rate among the divisions, 11.6 percent. Framingham,
Mass., reported the lowest division rate, 4.8 percent, closely followed by Bethesda-Rockville-Frederick,
Md., 4.9 percent. (See table 2.)
Thirty of the metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate decreases in December, while
three divisions registered increases and one had no change. Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla., posted
the largest rate decline from a year earlier (-2.8 percentage points). Eighteen other divisions reported
rate decreases between 1.0 and 1.9 percentage points. Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill., experienced the
largest unemployment rate increase from a year earlier (+0.7 percentage point).
In 3 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., recorded the largest rate difference among its divisions, 5.6 percentage points (LawrenceMethuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 10.4 percent, compared with Framingham, Mass., 4.8 percent).
Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In December, 239 metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment,
127 reported decreases, and 6 had no change. The largest over-the-year employment increase occurred
in Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+75,800), followed by New York-Northern New Jersey-Long
Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (+47,900), Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+45,700), and Los Angeles-Long
Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. (+41,900). The largest over-the-year percentage gain in employment was
reported in Columbus, Ind. (+6.4 percent), followed by Casper, Wyo. (+5.9 percent), and BlacksburgChristiansburg-Radford, Va. (+5.2 percent). (See table 3.)
The largest over-the-year decreases in employment occurred in Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, Pa.N.J.-Del.-Md. (-6,300), New Haven, Conn. (-4,100), and Montgomery, Ala. (-3,900). The largest overthe-year percentage decreases in employment were reported in Missoula, Mont. (-6.5 percent), Abilene,

The Regional and State Unemployment 2011 Annual Averages news release is scheduled to be
released on Wednesday, February 29, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. (EST). The Regional and State
Employment and Unemployment news release for January 2012 is scheduled to be released on
Tuesday, March 13, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Metropolitan Area Employment and
Unemployment news release for January 2012 is scheduled to be released on Friday,
March 23, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).
Upcoming Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data
Effective with the issuance of the Regional and State Unemployment 2011 Annual Averages
news release on Wednesday, February 29, the labor force data for census regions and divisions
and all states, the District of Columbia, and the seven modeled substate areas presented in
tables 1 and 2 of this news release will be revised to incorporate updated inputs, new
population controls, and reestimation of models. The new population controls will reflect, for
the first time, results from the 2010 Census. Labor force estimates for all other metropolitan
areas and metropolitan divisions subsequently will be revised to reflect updated inputs and
adjustment to the new statewide estimates. Data back to 2007 are subject to revision, and the
revised estimates will be published with the March 2012 Regional and State Employment and
Unemployment news release on Friday, April 20.
Upcoming Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data
Effective with the release of January 2012 estimates on Tuesday, March 13, all nonfarm payroll
employment estimates for states and areas presented in tables 3 and 4 of this news release will
be adjusted to 2011 benchmark levels. Estimates in tables 3 and 4 from April 2010 forward will
be subject to revision.

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/.

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 in that it is listed under Illinois for operational
reasons. Data for 2010 have been revised to incorporate updated inputs and
adjustment to new state controls. Estimates for the latest month are subject to
revision the following month.

1 These 11 areas contain all of the 34 metropolitan divisions.
2
Part of the area (or division) is in one or more adjacent states.
3 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
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 areas, the division titles are similar but include only Massachusetts and
Illinois, respectively. Data for 2010 have been revised to incorporate updated inputs
and adjustment to new state controls. Estimates for the latest month are subject to
revision the following month.

1 Area boundaries do not reflect official OMB definitions.
p Preliminary
NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are provisional and will be revised when new information becomes available.
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.

NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are provisional and will be revised when new information becomes available. 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. 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.
