METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — APRIL 2012
Unemployment rates were lower in April than a year earlier in 342 of the 372 metropolitan areas, higher
in 25 areas, and unchanged in 5 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Ten areas
recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 32 areas registered rates of less than 5.0 percent.
Two hundred forty-six metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll
employment, 115 reported decreases, and 11 had no change. The national unemployment rate in April
was 7.7 percent, not seasonally adjusted, down from 8.7 percent a year earlier.
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In April, 41 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, down from 79 areas a year
earlier, while 163 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, up from 100 areas in April of last year. El
Centro, Calif., and Yuma, Ariz., recorded the highest unemployment rates in April, 26.8 and 26.0
percent, respectively. The remaining eight areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent were all
located in California. Bismarck, N.D., registered the lowest unemployment rate, 2.8 percent, followed
by Fargo, N.D.-Minn., and Lincoln, Neb., 3.3 percent each. A total of 214 areas recorded April
unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 7.7 percent, 149 areas reported rates above it, and 9 areas
had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and the map.)

(-2.3 points). Three other large areas reported rate decreases of at least 2.0 percentage points, and 23
additional areas had decreases of at least 1.0 point. The largest over-the-year rate increase was recorded
in Buffalo-Niagara Falls, N.Y. (+0.7 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 April 2012, Los Angeles-Long BeachGlendale, Calif., registered the highest jobless rate among the divisions, 11.0 percent. Framingham,
Mass., reported the lowest division rate, 4.4 percent. (See table 2.)
Thirty of the metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate decreases in April, while four
registered increases. Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla., posted the largest rate decline from a year
earlier (-3.2 percentage points). Two other divisions reported rate decreases of at least 2.0 percentage
points, and an additional 14 divisions had decreases of at least 1.0 point. No division experienced an
unemployment rate increase greater than 0.5 percentage point.
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 April. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.N.H., recorded the largest rate difference among its divisions, 5.3 percentage points (LawrenceMethuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 9.7 percent, compared with Framingham, Mass., 4.4 percent).

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 ChicagoJoliet-Naperville, IL Metropolitan Division; Cleveland-ElyriaMentor, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area; Detroit-WarrenLivonia, MI Metropolitan Statistical Area; Miami-Miami
Beach-Kendall, FL Metropolitan Division; New OrleansMetairie-Kenner, LA Metropolitan Statistical Area; and SeattleBellevue-Everett, WA Metropolitan Division. (Model-based
estimation of the New Orleans-Metairie-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 balance-of-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 are available online at
www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Information on
recent
benchmark revisions is available on the BLS website 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 website at
www.bls.gov/sae/.

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.

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 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.

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 preliminary 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 preliminary 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.
