    METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT JULY 2011

    Unemployment rates were lower in July than a year earlier in 257 of the 372 metropolitan areas, higherin 94 areas, and unchanged in 21 areas, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Twelve areas

    recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while ten areas registered rates of less than 5.0 percent.Two hundred thirty-two metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm payrollemployment, 133 reported decreases, and 7 had no change. The national unemployment rate in July was

    9.3 percent, not seasonally adjusted, down from 9.7 percent a year earlier.

    Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

    In July, 117 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, down from127 areas a

    year earlier, while 62 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, up from 54 areas in July 2010. El Centro,Calif., and Yuma, Ariz., recorded the highest unemployment rates in July 2011, 30.8 and 30.0 percent,

    respectively. All of the remaining 10 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent were located in

    California. Bismarck, N.D., registered the lowest unemployment rate, 3.0 percent. The areas with thenext lowest rates were Fargo, N.D.-Minn., and Lincoln, Neb., 3.7 and 3.8 percent, respectively. Of the

    10 areas with jobless rates of less than 5.0 percent, 8 were located in the West North Central census

    division. A total of 219 areas recorded July unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 9.3 percent,

    150 areas reported rates above it, and 3 areas had rates equal to that of the nation. (See table 1 and themap.)

    The largest over-the-year unemployment rate decrease in July was registered in Rockford, Ill. (-3.3

    Vegas-Paradise, Nev., experienced the largest unemployment rate decrease from July 2010 (-1.7

    percentage points). Nine other large areas reported rate decreases of at least 1.0 percentage point. Thelarge area with the largest over-the-year jobless rate increase was San Antonio-New Braunfels, Texas

    (+0.6 percentage point).

    Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

    Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are made up of 34 metropolitan divisions, which areessentially separately identifiable employment centers. In July 2011, Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich.,

    registered the highest jobless rate among the divisions, 15.7 percent. Bethesda-Rockville-Frederick,

    Md., and Nashua, N.H.-Mass., reported the lowest division rates, 5.6 percent each. (See table 2.)

    Twenty-eight of the metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate decreases in July, three

    registered increases, and three had no change. Lake County-Kenosha County, Ill.-Wis., posted the

    largest rate decline from a year earlier (-1.4 percentage points). No division experienced a rate increasegreater than 0.2 percentage point over the year.

    In 6 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowestdivision jobless rates were 2.0 percentage points or more in July. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-

    N.H., recorded the largest rate difference among its divisions, 6.0 percentage points (Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 11.6 percent, compared with Nashua, N.H.-Mass., 5.6 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, Regionaland State

    Employment andUnemployment, and are republished in this

    release for ease of reference. The LAUS and CES programsare both federal-state cooperative endeavors.

    Labor force and unemploymentfrom 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 thatis 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. Employedpersons 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 theywere 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

    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 stateunemployment 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 datashown 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.

    Employmentfrom 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

  • 8/4/2019 July Metro Employment

    5/21

    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-monthchanges in the level for the subsequent months.

    Reliability of the estimatesThe 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 variabilitythat is, variation

    that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the entire

    population is surveyed. Survey data also are subject tononsampling 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. Model-

    based 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 and for metro-

    politan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are available

    online at www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Information on

    recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the BLS

    Web site at www.bls.gov/sae/.

    Area definitionsThe 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 informationMore 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 andState Employment and Unemployment.

    Estimates of labor force and unemployment for all states,

    metropolitan areas, labor market areas, counties, cities with apopulation of 25,000 or more, and other areas used in the

    administration of various federal economic assistance pro-

    grams are available on the Internet at www.bls.gov/lau/.

    Employment data from the CES program are available on the

    BLS Web site at www.bls.gov/sae/.
