METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — SEPTEMBER 2012
Unemployment rates were lower in September than a year earlier in 345 of the 372 metropolitan areas,
higher in 22 areas, and unchanged in 5 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Two
areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 41 areas registered rates of less than 5.0
percent. Two hundred sixty-seven metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm
payroll employment, 94 reported decreases, and 11 had no change. The national unemployment rate in
September was 7.6 percent, not seasonally adjusted, down from 8.8 percent a year earlier.
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In September, 35 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, down from 84 areas a
year earlier, while 171 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, up from 92 areas in September of last year.
Yuma, Ariz., and El Centro, Calif., recorded the highest unemployment rates in September, 29.7 and
28.5 percent, respectively. Bismarck, N.D., registered the lowest unemployment rate, 2.2 percent. A
total of 217 areas recorded September unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 7.6 percent, 146
areas reported rates above it, and 9 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and the map.)
The largest over-the-year unemployment rate decreases in September were registered in El Centro,
Calif., and Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (-3.1 and -3.0 percentage points, respectively). Thirty-six additional
areas had decreases of 2.0 percentage points or more. Kennewick-Pasco-Richland, Wash., reported the
largest over-the-year jobless rate increase (+1.2 percentage points), followed by Elmira, N.Y. (+1.0
point).
Among the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, the highest
unemployment rates in September were registered in Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., and Las
Vegas-Paradise, Nev., 11.6 and 11.5 percent, respectively. The lowest jobless rate among the large areas
was recorded in Oklahoma City, Okla., 4.6 percent. Forty-six large areas reported over-the-year
unemployment rate decreases, two registered increases, and one had no change. Las Vegas-Paradise,
Nev., experienced the largest unemployment rate decline from September 2011 (-2.5 percentage points).
Five other large areas reported rate decreases of at least 2.0 percentage points. Buffalo-Niagara Falls,
N.Y., recorded the largest unemployment rate increase (+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 September 2012, Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn,
Mich., registered the highest jobless rate among the divisions, 11.3 percent. Bethesda-RockvilleFrederick, Md., and Framingham, Mass., reported the lowest division rates, 5.0 percent each.
(See table 2.)
Thirty-two of the metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate decreases in September,
while two registered increases. Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif., posted the largest rate decline
from a year earlier (-2.3 percentage points). Fifteen additional divisions had decreases of 1.0 percentage
point or more. No division reported an unemployment rate increase over the year greater than 0.2
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 September. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy,
Mass.-N.H., recorded the largest rate difference among its divisions, 5.9 percentage points (LawrenceMethuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 10.9 percent, compared with Framingham, Mass., 5.0 percent).
Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In September, 267 metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment,
94 reported decreases, and 11 had no change. The largest over-the-year employment increase occurred
in New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (+138,300), followed by Houston-Sugar
Land-Baytown, Texas (+96,600), and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. (+90,400). The largest
over-the-year percentage gain in employment was reported in Lafayette, La. (+8.7 percent), followed by
Columbus, Ind. (+8.6 percent), and Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (+8.0 percent). (See table 3.)
The largest over-the-year decrease in employment occurred in New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La.
(-8,000), followed by Colorado Springs, Colo. (-4,500), Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis, Wis.
(-4,300), and Greenville-Mauldin-Easley, S.C. (-4,200). The largest over-the-year percentage decrease

Tuscaloosa, Ala. (-3.6 percent), and College Station-Bryan, Texas, and Merced, Calif. (-3.4 percent
each).
Over the year, nonfarm employment rose in 35 of the 37 metropolitan areas with annual average
employment levels above 750,000 in 2011. The largest over-the-year percentage increases in
employment in these large metropolitan areas were posted in Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas
(+3.7 percent), Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. (+3.4 percent), and Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos,
Texas (+3.3 percent). Only two of the large areas reported percentage decreases: Milwaukee-WaukeshaWest Allis, Wis. (-0.5 percent), and Nashville-Davidson—Murfreesboro—Franklin, Tenn.
(-0.1 percent).
Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in September 2012 for 32 metropolitan divisions,
which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area. Twentynine of the 32 metropolitan divisions reported over-the-year employment gains, while 3 reported losses.
The largest over-the-year increases in the metropolitan divisions occurred in New York-White Plains-2-
Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (+111,100), and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (+66,100). The largest

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 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.
Area definitions
Reliability of the estimates
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.
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/.
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/.

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. 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.
