Preface

Data on labor force, employment, and unemploy­
ment in State and sub-State areas are available from two
major sources—the Current Population Survey ( c p s )
and the Federal-State Cooperative Program. This
bulletin presents data from the c p s for regions, States,
and selected large metropolitan areas and central cities.
It provides 1985 annual averages for the employed and
the unemployed by selected demographic and economic
characteristics based on population counts projected
from the 1980 decennial census.
Comparable data for 1980-84 were published in

population 16 years and over, as well as revised
Hispanic population controls introduced in January
1985. (See appendix B).
The official Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates for
States, metropolitan areas, and central cities, which are
the basis for determining the eligibility of an area for
benefits under Federal economic assistance programs,
result from the Federal-State Cooperative Program, b l s
is responsible for establishing the estimating pro­
cedures; the State employment security agencies are
responsible for developing the estimates. For all States,
the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles s m s a , and
New York City, the official annual average estimates
are obtained directly from the c p s . For the remaining
metropolitan areas and cities, the official annual
average estimates are derived using a standardized pro­
cedure. Data from the c p s for metropolitan areas and
cities in this bulletin are not the official b l s estimates
and are provided because they are the only current
source of information on demographic and economic
characteristics.
Data for two metropolitan areas, New York and
Minneapolis-St. Paul, relate to the l m a rather than the
s m s a definition. For further information on geographic
areas, see appendix C.
This bulletin was prepared in the Division of Data
Development and Users’ Services in collaboration with
the Division of Local Area Unemployment Statistics.

as follows: 1984, Bulletin 2234; 1983, Bulletin 2216;
1982, Bulletin 2170; and 1981 and 1980, Bulletin 2156.
Bulletin 2156 also provided instructions for adjusting
1970 census-based data for earlier years to reflect 1980
census population counts.
Data for metropolitan areas are for Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SM SA’s) and Labor
Market Areas ( l m a ’ s) . Revised definitions for
metropolitan areas based on guidelines and standards
established by the Office of Management and Budget in
1983 will be reflected in the 1986 annual averages. The
1985 data for metropolitan areas based on revised
definitions are not consistent with the State data in this
publication, and hence, have not been used.
Data published in this bulletin reflect the 1980 censusbased redesign of the c p s sample which was phased in
during April 1984 through July 1985. This redesign af­
fected the sample areas chosen as well as the estimation
procedure. Subnational data reflect new controls for the

publication. (See appendix B for an explanation of the
b l s standards for publication of c p s data.) Estimates
for census regions and divisions are shown in section I;
States are shown in section II; and metropolitan areas
and cities are shown in section III.
Since these estimates are based on a survey rather
than on a complete census of the population, they are
subject to sampling error. Consequently, error ranges
have been provided, at a 90-percent confidence interval,
for the unemployment rates in the first table of sections
I, II, and III. In addition, appendix B provides tables
from which the sampling error ranges can be obtained
for the data in other tables in these sections. For the first
time, separate estimates of sampling errors for data on
the Hispanic-origin population are available.

The Current Population Survey ( c p s ) is the regular
monthly survey of about 59,500 households from which
the national unemployment rate is derived. (See appen­
dix A for definitions and concepts in the CPS, and ap­
pendix B for a description of estimation procedures.)
Data in this bulletin reflect the redesign of the c p s sam­
ple which produced more accurate State estimates than
previously with no increase in the overall national sam­
ple size. The data also reflect changes in the estimation
procedure which provide improved estimates of the
Hispanic population.
Annual average estimates of the labor force by
demographic characteristics (age, sex, race, and
Hispanic origin) and the economic characteristics of the
employed and unemployed are published in this bulletin
only if they meet the b l s standards of reliability for

Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence interval,
which means that if repeated samples were drawn from the same popula­
tion and an error range constructed around each sample estimate, in 9 out
of 10 cases the true value based on a complete census of the population
would be contained within these error ranges.
* Because of separate processing and weighting procedures, totals for
the United States differ from the results obtained by aggregating the totals
for regions and States.
* “Other merttal status” includes dkrorced, widowed, separated, and mar­
ried with spouse absent.

NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not
meet BLS publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on
the sample in that area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or
compute to displayed percentages because of rounding. Detail for race and
Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals because data for the “other
races" group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the
white and black population groups. Regional totals for labor force status
categories may not equal those published earlier this year (USDL 86-83) be­
cause estimates for these areas have been subsequently revised.

1 Employed persons with a job but not at work are distributed according to
whether they usually work full- or part-time.
2 Data are not shown when the labor force base does not meet BLS publica­
tion standards of reliability for the particular area, based on the sample in that
area. See appendix B.




NOTE: Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed rates because of
rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to totals because
data for the "other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are included in
both the white and black population groups.

Hispanic origin

1 Refers to persons who worked 35 hours or more during the survey week.
NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS
publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that
area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed percent­




ages because of rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to
totals because data for the “other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are
included in both the white and black population groups.

NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS
publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that
area. Sea appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed percent­
ages because of rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to
totals because data for the “other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are
included in both the white and black population groups.

1 Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence interval, which means
that if repeated samples were drawn from the same population and an error range
constructed around each sample estimate, in 9 out of 10 cases the true value based
on a complete census of the population would be contained within these error ranges.
2 "Other marital status” includes divorced, widowed, separated, and married with
spouse absent.

NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS
publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that
area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed percent­
ages because of rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to
totals because data for the “other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are
included in both the white and black population groups.

NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS
publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that
area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed percent­




ages because of rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to
totals because data for the “other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are
included in both the white and black population groups.

Error ranges are calculated at the 90-percent confidence interval, which means
that if repeated samples were drawn from the same population and an error range
constructed around each sample estimate, in 9 out of 10 cases the true value
based on a complete census of the population would be contained within these er­
ror ranges.
“Other marital status” includes divorced, widowed, separated, and married with
spouse absent.
These data are for the Labor Market Area (LMA) rather than the Standard Met­
ropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) for which estimates were published in earlier

years. The differences are discussed in appendix C, “Geographic Boundary Defini­
tions”.
NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS
publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample In that
area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed per­
centages because of roundkrg. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not
add to totals because data for the “other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.

All are Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA's) except those labeled La­
bor Market Areas (LMA's). The differences are discussed in appendix C, "Geographic
Boundary Definitions”.
* Less than 500 persons employed or less than 0.05 percent of total employed.
NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS




publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that
area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed percent­
ages because of rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to
totals because data for the "other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are
included in both the white and black population groups.

NOTE: Data for demographic groups are not shown when they do not meet BLS
publication standards of reliability for the particular area based on the sample in that
area. See appendix B. Items may not add to totals or compute to displayed percent­
ages because of rounding. Detail for race and Hispanic-origin groups will not add to
totals because data for the "other races” group are not presented and Hispanics are
included in both the white and black population groups.

Appendix A.
Definitions of Data
Derived from the
Current Population Survey

Tables showing labor force status include provisional
estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population 16
years and over as well as data on the civilian labor force,
unemployment rates, and labor force participation
rates. Population estimates are revised by the Bureau of
the Census each year, and the revised estimates are in­
corporated into the c p s labor force levels. This adjust­
ment affects the estimates of labor force, employment,
and unemployment but does not affect percentages such
as unemployment rates, participation rates, or
employment-population ratios.
The civilian la b o r f o r c e comprises all civilians
classified as employed or unemployed in accordance
with the criteria described below.
The e m p lo y e d are all civilians who did any work as
paid employees or in their own business during the
survey week, or who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid
workers in an enterprise operated by a family member.
Persons temporarily absent from a job because of ill­
ness, bad weather, a strike, or for personal reasons are
also counted as employed whether they were paid by
their employer or were seeking other jobs.
The u n e m p lo y e d are all civilians who did not work
during the survey week, made specific efforts to find a
job in the prior 4 weeks, and were available for work
during the survey week (except for temporary illness).
Persons waiting to be recalled to a job from which they
had been laid off, or waiting to report to a new job
within 30 days, need not be looking for work to be
classified as unemployed.
D u ra tio n o f u n e m p lo y m e n t represents the length of
time (through the current survey week) during which
persons classified as unemployed have been continuous­
ly looking for work. For persons on layoff, duration of
unemployment represents the number of full weeks
since the termination of their most recent employment.
A period of 2 weeks or more during which a person was
employed or ceased looking for work is considered to
break the continuity of the present period of jobseeking.
Duration of unemployment measures the length of a
spell of unemployment currently in progress. Hence it
should not be confused with a completed spell of
unemployment.




R ea so n s f o r u n e m p lo y m e n t are divided into four ma­
jor groups:
(1) Job losers—persons whose employment ended in­
voluntarily and who immediately began looking for
work, and persons on layoff; (2) job leavers—persons
who quit or otherwise terminated their employment
voluntarily and immediately began looking for work;
(3) reentrants—persons who previously worked at a full­
time job lasting 2 weeks or longer but were out of the
labor force before looking for work; and (4) new en­
trants—persons who never worked at a full-time job
lasting 2 weeks or longer.

The u n e m p lo y m e n t ra te f o r a ll civilian w o rk ers
represents the number unemployed as a percent of the
civilian labor force.
The civilian la b o r f o r c e p a rtic ip a tio n ra te is the ratio
of the civilian labor force to the civilian noninstitutional
population.
The civilian e m p lo y m e n t-p o p u la tio n ra tio is the
percentage of all employed civilians in the civilian
noninstitutional population.
H o u rs o f w o rk statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
persons who normally work 40 hours a week, but who
were off on the Columbus Day holiday, would be
reported as working 32 hours even though they were
paid for the joliday. For persons working in more
than one job, the figures relate to the number
of hours worked in all jobs during the survey week with
all hours credited to the major job.
The distribution of employment by hours worked
relates to persons “ at work” during the survey week.
At-work data differ from data on total employment
because the latter include persons in the zero-hoursworked category, “ with a job but not at work.” Includ­
ed in this latter group are persons who were on vacation,
ill, involved in a labor dispute, or otherwise absent from
their jobs for voluntary, noneconomic reasons.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey
week are designated as working f u l l tim e; corre­
spondingly, persons who worked between 1 and 34

113

hours are designated as working p a r t tim e. Part-time
workers are classified by their usual status at their pre­
sent job (either full or part time) and by their reason
for working part time during the survey week (economic
or other reasons). “ Economic reasons’’ include: Slack
work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment,
start or termination of job during the week, and inabili­
ty to find full-time work. Other reasons include: Labor
dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of
home, housework, school, no desire for full-time work,
and full-time worker only during the peak season. Per­
sons on full-time schedules include, in addition to those
working 35 hours or more, those who worked from 1 to
34 hours for noneconomic reasons and usually work full
time.
The f u ll-tim e la b o r f o r c e consists of persons working
on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily working
part time (part time for economic reasons), and
unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The p a r tvoluntarily and unemployed persons seeking part-time
work. Persons with a job but not at work during the
survey week are classified according to whether they
usually work full or part time.
O c c u p a tio n a l a n d in d u stry d a ta for the employed
refer to the job held during the survey week. Persons
with two or more jobs are classified according to the job
in which they worked the most hours during the survey
week. The unemployed are classified according to the
last full-time civilian job held for 2 weeks or more.
Beginning with 1983 data, all occupational and industry




data presented in this bulletin are coded according to the
classification systems used in the 1980 census, rather
than the 1970 census systems used through 1982. While
this conversion had little effect on industry-related data,
the new occupational categories are so radically dif­
ferent that their implementation represents a break in
historical data series. Additional information on the
1980 census occupational and industrial classification
systems appears in “ Revisions in the Current Popula­
tion Survey Beginning in January 1983” in the February
1983 issue of E m p lo y m e n t a n d E arnings.
R a c e a n d H isp a n ic origin. Beginning with 1981 an­
nual averages, G eo g ra p h ic P ro file presents racial data
for white and black workers. Before 1981, racial data
were published for white and “ black and other”
workers. The “ other” category consists primarily of
American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asians and
Pacific Islanders. H isp a n ic origin refers to persons who
identified themselves in the enumeration process as
Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South
American, or of other Hispanic origin or descent,
regardless of race.

To improve the efficiency of the sample, the 1,973
P S U ’s were grouped into strata within each State. Then,
one p s u was selected from each stratum, with the pro­
bability o f selection proportionate to the population size
in the p s u . P S U ’s in strata by themselves are selfrepresenting, and generally are the most populated P S U ’s
in each State. Other strata were formed by combining
P S U ’s which were similar in such characteristics as
population growth, proportion o f blacks and Hispanics,
occupation/industry, and age/sex distribution. P S U ’s
selected from these strata are non-self-representing,
since each one chosen represents the entire stratum.
Within each o f the selected P S U ’s , the number o f
households to be enumerated each month is determined
in two steps. First, a sample o f census enumeration
districts ( E D ’s ) is selected using the population size pro­
bability selection procedures. E D ’s are administrative
units and contain, on the average, about 300
households. Second, clusters of approximately four ad­
dresses (con tigu ou s, wherever possible) to be
enumerated within each designated E D are selected.
Part of the sample is changed, or rotated, each
month. A primary reason for rotating the sample is to
minimize the lack o f cooperation which may result from
interviewing a constant panel indefinitely. Another
reason for replacing households is to reduce the
cumulative effect o f response biases which are
sometimes observed when the same persons are inter­
viewed indefinitely. The rotation plan provides for threefourths of the sample to be identical from one month to
the next and one-half to be identical with the same
month a year earlier.

The estimates presented in this bulletin are based on
annual averages o f monthly data obtained from the
C P S — a sample survey o f the civilian noninstitutional
population. The survey is conducted each month by the
Bureau o f the Census for b l s , and provides comprehen­
sive data on the labor force, the employed, and the
unemployed, including such characteristics as age, sex,
race, marital status, occupation, and industry. The
survey also provides data on the characteristics o f those
not in the labor force. The information is collected by
trained interviewers from a scientifically selected sample
designed to represent the civilian noninstitutional
population. Each month, about 59,500 occupied hous­
ing units are eligible for interview. Respondents are in­
terviewed using a standardized questionnaire to obtain
information about the employment status o f each
household member 16 years o f age and over. The
reference period is the calendar week, Sunday through
Saturday, which includes the 12th o f the month. This is
known as the survey week. Actual field interviewing is
conducted during the week which includes the 19th of
the month.
Inmates o f institutions, members o f the Armed
Forces, and persons under 14 years o f age are not
covered in the regular monthly enumerations; data on
members o f the Armed Forces and persons under 16 are
excluded from the population and labor force statistics
shown in this bulletin.

Sampling procedures
The 1985 sample, which reflects the c p s redesign, en­
compasses 729 sample areas comprising over 1,000
counties and cities, with coverage in every State and the
District o f Columbia. It is based to a large extent on in­
formation about the distribution of the population as
reported in the 1980 decennial census1. These areas were
selected by dividing the entire area o f the United States
into 1,973 primary sampling units ( P S U ’s ) . With some
minor exceptions, a p s u consists o f a county or number

Under the estimating methods used, all of the results for
a given month become available simultaneously and are
based on returns from the entire panel of respondents. The
estimation procedure involves the weighting up, or in­
flating, of the data from each sample person to develop
estimates for the entire population from which the sample
was drawn.
The basic weights, which are the inverse of the sampling

ratios (defined as the number o f sample households
divided by total households in the State), are adjusted to
better reflect the entire population, as described below.

Since the estimates in this report are based upon a
sample o f the population rather than a complete count,
they may differ from the figures that would have been
obtained if it had been possible to take a complete cen­
sus using the same schedules and procedures as are used
in the C P S . There are two types o f errors in an estimate
based on a sample survey—sampling and nonsampling.
The sampling error tables in this report primarily in­
dicate the magnitude o f the sampling error. They also
partially measure the effect o f some nonsampling errors
in response and enumeration, but do not measure any
systematic biases in the data.
In general, the error o f a sample estimate varies in­
versely with the size o f the sample and directly with the
size o f the estimate. Hence, an estimate for a subgroup

constituting a small proportion o f a population will tend
to have a small absolute (and large relative) error than
an estimate for a subgroup constituting a large propor­
tion o f that same population.

Using the sampling error tables

Reliability standards
Since the c p s is designed to produce both national
and State estimates, the proportion o f the total popula­
tion sampled and, hence, the sampling ratios differ
among the States. In general, the smaller the population
o f the State, the larger the sampling proportion. For ex­
ample, in Alaska approximately 1 in every 200
households was sampled each month in 1985, whereas in
California the sample covered about 1 in every 2,100
households. Nevertheless, the size o f the sample in
California is 4 times larger than in Alaska because
California has a larger percentage o f the national
population.
Differences in the probability o f selecting each house­
hold in each State are necessary to obtain total un­
employment levels meeting a minimum level o f relia­
bility—a maximum expected annual coefficient o f varia­
tion o f 10 percent, at one standard error, given a 6 per­
cent unemployment rate. Before C P S labor force data
for a State or area can be used as the official estimates
in the Federal-State cooperative program, the size o f
the sample for that area must be large enough to pro­
duce estimates meeting that minimum standard o f
reliability.

Publication standards for State and area
CPS data
In order to achieve comparability o f the data for re­
gions, divisions, States, S M S A ’s, and cities for publica­
tion purposes, a unique requirement for minimum labor
force, employment, and unemployment had to be de­
veloped for each area. This requirement is based on the
known differences in sampling ratios among these areas.
Before estimates are published for a specific category,
a predetermined “ critical cell” must meet the com­
parable minimum publication standard for national C PS
data. As a result o f this requirement, minimum bases
for publication have been developed for each area.
Table B-l lists the mininum necessary base for publica­
tion o f data in each o f the regions, divisions, States, the
District o f Columbia, and the metropolitan areas and
cities appearing in this bulletin.
Estimates are not shown when they do not meet the
minimum base for the State or area listed in table B-l.
In tables showing the labor force status o f the popula­
tion, the critical cell is the size o f the labor force o f the
particular population group. In all other tables, the de­
termining factor or critical cell is the size o f the base
o f the distribution—i.e., the size o f total employment
or unemployment for that area or population subgroup.
Data are not published for any cell with fewer than 500
persons or less than 0.5 percent.




The sampling error tables (tables B-2 through B-37)
can be used directly to develop 90-percent confidence
intervals for sample estimates. (A sampling error equals
1.645 times one standard error.) They indicate the or­
der o f magnitude o f the sampling error rather than the
precise amount o f the possible error in an estimate.
Table B-14 shows that an estimate o f 50,000 un­
employed persons (total or white) in Alabama will have
an absolute sampling error o f 11,000, and a relative
sampling error o f 22 percent, while an estimate o f
100,000 unemployed persons in Alabama has an ab­
solute sampling error o f 15,000 and a relative sampling
error o f 15 percent.
The statement that unemployment in Alabama is be­
tween 39,000 and 61,000 in the first instance, and be­
tween 85,000 and 115,000 in the second, is made with
90-percent confidence. If repeated samples were drawn
from the same population and a confidence interval
(based on the sample estimate plus and minus the sam­
pling error) were constructed for each sample estimate,
the true value based on a complete census o f the popu­
lation would be contained within 90 percent o f these
intervals. Hence, we can be 90-percent confident that
the interval constructed does, in fact, contain the true
value.
To calculate a 68-percent confidence interval (two
chances out o f three), multiply the sampling error shown
by 0.6. T o convert the sampling error to 95-percent
confidence (19 chances out o f 20), multiply the sam­
pling error by 1.19. For the example given above, the
sampling error at 90-percent confidence was 11,000. At
68-percent confidence, the error would be about 6,600
(11,000 X 0.6 = 6,600). At 95-percent confidence, the
error would be about 13,100 (11,000 X 1.19 = 13,090).

To compute the error of a difference from the tables,
an additional step is required. If, for instance, one wishes
to know whether a change in the unemployment rate
from 1984 to 1985 in a particular area is statistically
significant, or whether the difference in the unemploy­
ment rate between two areas or population groups is
statistically meaningful, the significance of the differ­
ence needs to be computed.
To test for the significance of a difference, the fol­
lowing formula should be used:
Ed= \ / E ,2 + E22 - C
where: Et = the sampling error of one group or year
E, = The sampling error of another group or
year
C = the covariance (or relationship) term be­
tween E, and ^
Eti = the sampling error o f the difference
The E, and the E must be found in the appropriate
117

Geographic Profile for each year, since the size o f the
samples and, consequently, sampling errors may differ
from year to year. Estimates for the “ C ” term for areas
in this report are not available. (If the relationship be­
tween the two groups or years is small, the “ C ‘* term
may be ignored. If, however, there is a strong positive
relationship between the two groups, then the error
computed without the “ C ” term will be overstated.)
An example will show how this significance test is ap­
plied. Suppose one wished to know whether a hypo­
thetical change in the c p s unemployment rate in Alaska
from 10.0 percent in 1984 to 8.0 percent in 1985 is sig­
nificant. Assume that the labor force was about 100,000
in both years. Table B-14 in the 1984 Geographic Profile
gives the error for a 10.0-percent unemployment rate as
1.54, and table B-20 in this year’s Geographic Profile
gives the error for an 8.0-percent unemployment rate as
1.18. Using the formula described above, the following
would result:

E, = 1.54

E2 = 1.18

Es = [[(S -G ) / (F - G)] x (X - Y)] + Y
F = published size immediately above the size
desired (200,000)
G = published size immediately below the size
desired (100,000)
S =size desired (150,000)
X = error o f the F (21,000)
Y = error o f G (15,000)
E s = error o f S (18,000)

If the sample estimate lies outside the boundaries o f
the error tables, extrapolation can be used to approxi­
mate the sampling error. The formula for extrapolation
is the same as that for interpolation; however, the “F ”
term is the highest value in the table and the “G ” term
becomes the next highest value.

These State and area sampling errors are developed
using a generalized procedure and are not based on the
sample data for each individual area. As with all sam­
pling error tables produced for c p s State and area data,
a number o f approximations were required in order to
derive sampling errors that would be applicable to a
wide variety o f items. As a result, these sampling er­
rors provide an indication o f the order o f magnitude o f
a sampling error rather than a precise sampling error
for any specific item. The sampling error tables are
derived from standard error equations and special pa­
rameters developed by the Bureau o f the Census. These
may be obtained from b l s upon request.

= 1.94

Assuming a negligible “ C ” term, the error of the dif­
ference is about 1.9. Since the actual change (2.0 per­
cent) exceeds the error o f the difference, it can be stated,
with 90-percent confidence, that the difference in rates
is attributable to factors other than sampling error alone.
To derive a sampling error for a given estimate, it
may be necessary to use interpolation or extrapolation.
For example, table B-14 contains no sampling error for

Appendix C. Geographic
Boundary Definitions
This appendix lists the States composing the Census
divisions and regions. It also provides the geographic
definitions of Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA’s) and Labor Market Areas (LMA’s). Revised
area definitions will be introduced with the publication
of 1986 annual data.
The Census regions and divisions and the States they
comprise are:

West South Central
Arkansas
Louisiana
Oklahoma
Texas

Northeast
New England
Maine
New Hampshire
Vermont
Massachusetts
Rhode Island
Connecticut

West
Mountain
Montana
Wyoming
Colorado
Utah
Idaho
Arizona
Nevada
New Mexico

Middle Atlantic
New York
New Jersey
Pennsylvania
Midwest
East North Central
Ohio
Indiana
Illinois
Michigan
Wisconsin

f

Pacific
California
Hawaii
Washington
Oregon
Alaska
The Department of Labor has used LMA’s for a
number of years for various administrative and pro­
grammatic purposes. The boundaries for almost all
LMA’s are the same as those for SMSA’s, as established
by the Office of Management and Budget. SMSA
boundaries are defined using a specific set of criteria
developed for that purpose. LMA’s are determined by
the State employment security agencies, using rules es­
tablished by the Department of Labor. Since many
LMA’s were established before they were designated
as an SMSA, there are a few areas where boundary
differences reflect this initial classification discrepancy.
In general, an SMSA is defined as a county contain­
ing at least one city with 50,000 inhabitants or more,
or several economically and socially related contiguous
counties with at least one city of 25,000 inhabitants or
more. In the New England States, where SMSA’s are

boundaries) with the current LMA boundaries. With the
exception of Minneapolis-St. Paul and New York,
estimates in section III refer to SMSA’s.

composed of cities and towns, the minimum population
size is 75,000.
The boundaries of SMSA’s are occasionally revised.
