The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment news release for March is
scheduled to be released on Friday, April 15, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT). The Metropolitan
Area Employment and Unemployment news release for March is scheduled to be released
on Wednesday, April 27, 2016, at 10:00 a.m. (EDT).
Changes to Local Area Unemployment Statistics Data
In February 2016, civilian 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 2011 through 2015 to incorporate updated inputs, new population controls,
reestimation of models, and adjustment to new census division and national control totals.
Revisions for all model-based area estimates were loaded into the BLS time series database at
that time.
Civilian 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 2015 to
incorporate updated inputs and adjustment to new state control totals. Revised estimates for these
areas and divisions have not been loaded into the BLS time series database; therefore, they do
not match the data for 2015 in this news release. Revisions for all non-modeled metropolitan
areas and divisions from 2011 through 2015 will be loaded into the database on April 15, 2016.

Technical Note
This release presents labor force and unemployment data
from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)
program (tables 1 and 2) for 387 metropolitan statistical areas
and metropolitan New England City and Town Areas
(NECTAs), plus 7 areas in Puerto Rico. Estimates for 38
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 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 federalstate 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 older. 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 estimates are also produced for the
following areas and their respective balances: the ChicagoNaperville-Arlington Heights, IL Metropolitan Division;
Cleveland-Elyria, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area; DetroitWarren-Dearborn, MI Metropolitan Statistical Area; MiamiMiami Beach-Kendall, FL Metropolitan Division; and SeattleBellevue-Everett, WA Metropolitan Division. 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
beginning of each year, usually implemented with the issuance
of January estimates. The adjusted model-based estimates
typically reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census
Bureau, any revisions in other input data sources, and model reestimation. All substate estimates then are re-estimated using
updated inputs and adjusted to add to the revised model-based
totals. In early 2015, a new generation of time-series models
was implemented, resulting in the replacement of data back to
the series beginnings. At the same time, enhancements were
made to the substate estimation methodology, and more timely
inputs from the American Community Survey were
incorporated.
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, the sample of
establishments is very small or highly variable. In these cases,
a model-based approach is used in estimation. These models
use the direct sample estimates (described above), combined
with forecasts of historical (benchmarked) data to decrease
volatility in estimation. Two different models (Fay-Herriot
Model and Small Domain Model) are used depending on the
industry level being estimated. For more detailed information
about each 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/benchmark2016.pdf.
Area definitions
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
Revisions of historical data for the most recent 5 years are made
once a year, coincident with annual benchmark adjustments.
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 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.
The substate area data published in this release reflect the
delineations issued by the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget on February 28, 2013. 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
online
at
www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.
Additional information
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, 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/.

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 containing the first principal city, unless otherwise
footnoted. Data for 2015 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 delineations are based on Office of Management
and Budget Bulletin No. 13-01, dated February 28, 2013, and are available on the BLS website 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 containing the first principal city.
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. For Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., the
metropolitan area and division titles are identical. Data for 2015 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.

For operational reasons, these interstate areas are listed under the state that accounts for the larger share of the population, which is different from the state that contains
the first principal city.
Area boundary does not reflect the official OMB delineation.
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 delineations are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 13-01, dated February 28, 2013, and are available on the BLS website 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 containing the first principal city, unless otherwise footnoted. Estimates for
the latest month are subject to revision the following month.

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. 13-01, dated February 28, 2013, 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 containing the first principal
city. 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. For Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., the metropolitan area and division titles are identical. Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the
following month.
