METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — NOVEMBER 2014
Unemployment rates were lower in November than a year earlier in 341 of the 372 metropolitan areas,
higher in 27 areas, and unchanged in 4 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Twelve
areas had jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent and 147 areas had rates of less than 5.0 percent. Nonfarm
payroll employment increased over the year in 313 metropolitan areas, decreased in 55 areas, and was
unchanged in 4 areas. The national unemployment rate in November was 5.5 percent, not seasonally
adjusted, down from 6.6 percent a year earlier.
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Yuma, Ariz., and El Centro, Calif., had the highest unemployment rates in November, 23.1 percent and
22.6 percent, respectively. Lincoln, Neb., had the lowest unemployment rate, 2.1 percent, followed by
Fargo, N.D.-Minn., and Mankato-North Mankato, Minn., 2.2 percent each. A total of 200 areas had
November unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 5.5 percent, 158 areas had rates above it, and
14 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and the map.)
Decatur, Ill., had the largest over-the-year unemployment rate decrease in November (-4.3 percentage
points), followed by Yuma, Ariz. (-4.2 points), and Danville, Ill. (-4.1 points). Forty-four other areas had
rate decreases of at least 2.0 percentage points. Alexandria, La., had the largest over-the-year jobless rate
increase (+1.6 percentage points).
Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, Riverside-San
Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., had the highest unemployment rate in November, 8.0 percent. MinneapolisSt. Paul-Bloomington, Minn.-Wis., had the lowest jobless rate among the large areas, 3.0 percent.
Forty-eight of the large areas had over-the-year unemployment rate decreases, while New OrleansMetairie-Kenner, La., had the only rate increase (+1.4 percentage points). The largest rate decline
occurred in Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. (-2.4 percentage points), followed by CincinnatiMiddletown, Ohio-Ky.-Ind.; Columbus, Ohio; and Providence-Fall River-Warwick, R.I.-Mass. (-2.2
points each).
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 November, Lawrence-Methuen-Salem,
Mass.-N.H., had the highest unemployment rate among the divisions, 8.2 percent. Nashua, N.H.-Mass.,
had the lowest division rate, 4.0 percent. (See table 2.)
Thirty-three of the metropolitan divisions had over-the-year unemployment rate decreases in November.
The largest of the declines occurred in Chicago-Joliet-Naperville, Ill. (-2.6 percentage points). The only
unemployment rate increase was in Tacoma, Wash. (+0.1 percentage point).
Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In November, 313 metropolitan areas had over-the-year increases in nonfarm payroll employment, 55
had decreases, and 4 had no change. The largest over-the-year employment increases occurred in
Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+125,300), Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+111,500), and
New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (+107,900). The largest over-the-year
percentage gain in employment occurred in Midland, Texas (+6.2 percent), followed by Odessa, Texas
(+4.7 percent), and Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (+4.6 percent). (See table 3.)
The largest over-the-year decreases in employment occurred in Atlantic City-Hammonton, N.J. (-8,600),

decreases in employment occurred in Atlantic City-Hammonton, N.J. (-6.4 percent), Ocean City, N.J.
(-3.9 percent), and Steubenville-Weirton, Ohio-W.Va. (-2.9 percent).
Over the year, nonfarm employment rose in 37 of the 38 metropolitan areas with annual average
employment levels above 750,000 in 2013. The largest over-the-year percentage increase in employment
in these large metropolitan areas occurred in Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+4.4 percent),
followed by Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford, Fla. (+4.3 percent), and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara,
Calif. (+3.8 percent). The only over-the-year percentage decrease in employment occurred in
Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, Pa.-N.J.-Del.-Md. (-0.2 percent).
Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in November 2014 for 32 metropolitan divisions,
which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area. Thirty-one
of the 32 metropolitan divisions had over-the-year employment gains. The largest over-the-year increase
in employment among the metropolitan divisions occurred in New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J.
(+88,700), followed by Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas (+87,700), and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale,

_____________
The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment news release for December 2014 is
scheduled to be released on Tuesday, January 27, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. (EST). The Metropolitan
Area Employment and Unemployment news release for December 2014 is scheduled to be released
on Wednesday, February 4, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. (EST).

Upcoming Changes to Current Employment Statistics Data
Effective with the release of January 2015 estimates on March 17, 2015, all nonfarm payroll
employment estimates for states and areas presented in tables 3 and 4 of this news release will
be adjusted to 2014 benchmark levels. Seasonally adjusted series will be subject to revision
from 1990 forward. Not seasonally adjusted payroll data back to April 2013 will also be subject
to revision.
Upcoming Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data
Effective with the issuance of Regional and State Unemployment 2014 Annual Averages on
March 4, 2015, the civilian labor force and unemployment 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 replaced with data produced using a new generation
of time-series models. Revised estimates will be loaded into the BLS time-series database back
to the series beginnings in 1976, 1990, or 1994 at that time. Both seasonally adjusted and not
seasonally adjusted data will be affected. The revisions to model-based data at the state level
and below for 2013 and 2014 also will incorporate updated estimation inputs, while the
revisions for all model-based data from April 2010 forward will reflect new population controls
from the U.S. Census Bureau.
For non-modeled substate areas, data will reflect methodological changes and the incorporation
of estimation inputs from the American Community Survey effective with the issuance of
the January 2015 Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release on
March 20, 2015. Subsequently on April 21, 2015, comprehensive revisions for substate areas
from 2010-14 will be loaded into the BLS time-series database. More information on all
upcoming changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics data is available on the BLS website
at www.bls.gov/lau/lauschanges2015.htm.

Upcoming Changes to Metropolitan Area and Metropolitan Division Delineations
In addition to the changes described above, both the civilian labor force data presented in
tables 1 and 2 and the nonfarm payroll employment data presented in tables 3 and 4 of this
news release will reflect implementation of revised metropolitan area and metropolitan division
delineations effective with the January 2015 issuance on March 20, 2015. The revised
delineations were issued by the Office of Management and Budget for solely statistical
purposes through Bulletin No. 13-01 on February 28, 2013, based on the application of updated
statistical standards to U.S. Census Bureau population and journey-to-work data. The
Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs) and NECTA Divisions again will
be used for the six New England states, rather than the county-based delineations, for purposes
of this news release. Compared with the Census 2000-based delineations, the number of
metropolitan areas in the U.S. and Puerto Rico will increase from 380 to 394, while the number
of metropolitan divisions will increase from 34 to 38. The analyses of both unemployment rates
and nonfarm payroll employment changes for large metropolitan areas will focus on the 51
areas with 2010 Census populations of 1 million or more.
Within the BLS time-series database, both civilian labor force and nonfarm payroll
employment series reconstructed back to January 1990 to reflect the revised metropolitan area
and metropolitan division delineations will be loaded on March 17, 2015, three days before the
issuance of the January 2015 Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment news release.
More information about the upcoming statistical area changes is available on the BLS website
at www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.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 labormanagement 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 2012 version of the North
American Industry Classification System.
Method of estimation. CES State and Area employment
data are produced using several estimation procedures. Where
possible these data are produced using a "weighted link
relative" estimation technique in which a ratio of current-month
weighted employment to that of the previous-month weighted
employment is computed from a sample of establishments
reporting for both months. The estimates of employment for the
current month are then obtained by multiplying these ratios by
the previous month’s employment estimates. The weighted link
relative technique is utilized for data series where the sample
size meets certain statistical criteria.
For some employment series, relatively small sample
sizes limit the reliability of the weighted link-relative estimates.
In these cases, BLS uses the CES small domain model (SDM)
to generate employment estimates. The SDM combines the
direct sample estimates (described above) and forecasts of
historical (benchmarked) data to decrease the volatility of the
estimates. For more detailed information about the CES small
domain model, refer to the BLS Handbook of Methods.
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.
Labor force and unemployment estimates. Measures
of sampling error are not available for metropolitan areas or
metropolitan divisions. Model-based error measures for states
are
available
on
the
BLS
website
at
www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm. Measures of nonsampling error
are not available for the areas contained in this
release. Information on recent data revisions for states and
local
areas
is
available
online
at
www.bls.gov/lau/launews1.htm.
Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error are
available for metropolitan areas or metropolitan divisions upon
request. Measures of sampling error for states down to the
supersector level are available on the BLS website at
www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Measures of nonsampling
error are not available for the areas contained in this
release. Information on recent benchmark revisions is available
online at www.bls.gov/sae/.
Seasonal adjustment. Payroll employment data are
seasonally adjusted for states, metropolitan areas, and
metropolitan divisions at the total nonfarm level. For states,
data are seasonally adjusted at the supersector level as well. In
some metropolitan areas deemed large enough to be subdivided
into metropolitan divisions, the seasonally adjusted payroll
employment totals are computed by aggregating the seasonally
adjusted total nonfarm estimates for each of the component
metropolitan divisions. Revisions of historical data for the most
recent 5 years are made once a year, coincident with annual
benchmark adjustments.
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.
Reliability of the estimates
Additional information
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 specific 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.
More complete information on the technical procedures
used to develop these estimates and additional data appear in
Employment and Earnings Online.
Area definitions
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.

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.
