METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT — MAY 2017
Unemployment rates were lower in May than a year earlier in 298 of the 388 metropolitan areas, higher
in 66 areas, and unchanged in 24 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Fifty-seven
areas had jobless rates of less than 3.0 percent and two areas had rates of at least 10.0 percent. Nonfarm
payroll employment increased over the year in 304 metropolitan areas, decreased in 77 areas, and was
unchanged in 6 areas. (See box note.) The national unemployment rate in May was 4.1 percent, not
seasonally adjusted, down from 4.5 percent a year earlier.

-3 Technical Note
This release presents civilian labor force and unemployment
data from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS)
program (tables 1 and 2) for 388 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 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.
areas in this release, estimates are prepared through indirect
estimation procedures using a building-block approach.
Estimates of employed persons, 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 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 model-based area totals. A detailed
description of the estimation procedures is available from BLS
upon request.
Civilian labor force and unemployment—from the
LAUS program
Definitions. The civilian 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 employed persons and unemployed persons 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 (typically 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 civilian
labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons.
The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed as a
percent of the civilian 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
Annual revisions. Civilian 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 re-estimation. 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.
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 to historical data for the most recent 5 years are made
once a year, coincident with annual benchmark adjustments.

Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error for
the total private employment series are available for
metropolitan areas and metropolitan divisions at
www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Measures of sampling error
for more detailed series at the area and division level are
available 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/benchmark2017.pdf.
Area definitions
The substate area data published in this release reflect the
delineations issued by the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget on July 15, 2015. 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.
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.

Measures of sampling error are not available for metropolitan
areas or metropolitan divisions. Model-based error measures

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.
The area boundary does not reflect the Office of Management and Budget delineation.
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 delineations are based on Office of
Management and Budget Bulletin No. 15-01, dated July 15, 2015, and are available on the BLS website at https://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 refer to place of residence. Area delineations are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 15-01, dated July 15, 2015, and are available on the BLS website at
https://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.

Data not available. As of June 26, 2017, BLS suppressed these data series and is working to make corrections to the series. See
https://www.bls.gov/bls/errata/sae_errata.htm for more information.

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.
3
Area boundary does not reflect 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. 15-01, dated July 15, 2015, and are available on the BLS website at
https://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.

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.
