METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — JANUARY 2012
Unemployment rates were lower in January than a year earlier in 345 of the 372 metropolitan areas,
higher in 16 areas, and unchanged in 11 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today.
Thirteen areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, and 13 areas registered rates of less than
5.0 percent. Two hundred seventy metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm
payroll employment, 94 reported decreases, and 8 had no change. The national unemployment rate in
January was 8.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted, down from 9.8 percent a year earlier.
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In January, 86 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, down from 150 areas a
year earlier, while 83 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, up from 47 areas in January 2011. El Centro,
Calif., and Yuma, Ariz., recorded the highest unemployment rates in January 2012, 26.4 and 24.5
percent, respectively. Ten of the other 11 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent were located in
California. Bismarck, N.D., and Lincoln, Neb., registered the lowest unemployment rates, 3.8 percent
each. A total of 201 areas recorded January unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 8.8 percent,
162 areas reported rates above it, and 9 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and the
map.)
Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment Data Series Changes
In accordance with annual practices, historical data have been revised in tables 1 through 4 of
this news release. For detailed information on the revisions, see the box notes at the end of the
news release.
The largest over-the-year unemployment rate decreases in January were registered in Decatur, Ala. (-3.2
percentage points), and Monroe, Mich. (-2.8 points). Twenty-five other areas recorded rate declines of
2.0 percentage points or more, and an additional 170 areas had decreases of between 1.0 and 1.9 points.
Lawton, Okla., and Yuma, Ariz., reported the largest over-the-year jobless rate increases (+1.0
percentage point each).
Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, the highest
unemployment rates in January were registered in Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev., 13.1 percent, and
Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., 12.4 percent. Five additional large areas posted rates of 10.0
percent or more. The lowest jobless rates among the large areas were recorded in WashingtonArlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., 5.7 percent, and Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington,
Minn.-Wis., and Oklahoma City, Okla., 5.9 percent each. Forty-six of the large areas reported over-theyear unemployment rate decreases, while one area registered an increase and two had no change. Kansas
City, Mo.-Kan., experienced the largest unemployment rate decline from January 2011 (-2.1 percentage
points), followed by Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., and Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla. (-1.8
points each). The only over-the-year jobless rate increase in a large area was marginal (+0.1 percentage
point in New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa.).
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 January 2012, Los Angeles-Long BeachGlendale, Calif., registered the highest jobless rate among the divisions, 12.1 percent. BethesdaRockville-Frederick, Md., reported the lowest division rate, 5.2 percent. (See table 2.)
Thirty-one of the metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate decreases in January, while
one division registered an increase and two had no change. Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich.,
posted the largest rate decline from a year earlier (-1.9 percentage points). Twelve other divisions
reported rate decreases of 1.0 percentage point or more. New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J.,

Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data
Effective with the release of 2011 annual average estimates on February 29, labor force and
unemployment data for all states, the District of Columbia, and the seven modeled substate
areas presented in tables 1 and 2 of this news release were revised from 2007 through 2011 to
incorporate updated inputs, new population controls, reestimation of models, and adjustment to
new division and national control totals. Historical revisions for all model-based area estimates
were loaded into the BLS time series database at that time.
Labor force and unemployment data for the non-modeled metropolitan areas and divisions
presented in tables 1 and 2 of this news release have been revised for 2011 to incorporate
updated inputs and adjustment to new state control totals. However, historical estimates for
these areas and divisions in the BLS time series database have not been revised and do not
match the data for 2011 in this release. Revisions for all non-modeled metropolitan area and
division estimates from 2007 through 2011 will be loaded into the database on Friday, April 20.
For more information, see www.bls.gov/lau/launews1.htm.
Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data
Effective with this release, nonfarm payroll estimates for all states, metropolitan areas, and
metropolitan divisions (tables 3 and 4) have been revised as a result of annual benchmark
processing to reflect 2011 employment counts primarily from the BLS’ Quarterly Census of
Employment and Wages (QCEW), as well as updated seasonal adjustment factors. Not
seasonally adjusted data for states, areas, and divisions were revised back to April 2010, and
seasonally adjusted data were subject to revision back to January 1990. For more information
on benchmark procedures, see www.bls.gov/sae/benchmark2012.pdf.
In addition, the data were updated to the 2012 North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) from the 2007 NAICS. This update resulted in minor level and title changes to a few
detailed series.

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 e stimation. 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 unempl oyment estim ates. 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/.

p = preliminary.
NOTE: Data refer to place of residence. Data for Puerto Rico
are derived from a monthly household survey similar to the
Current Population Survey. 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 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 2011 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.

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, and are 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
2

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 2011 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.

NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Data have been revised to reflect 2011 benchmark levels. 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.
