METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: DECEMBER 2004
In December, 257 metropolitan areas recorded lower unemployment rates
than a year earlier, 57 areas had higher rates, and 17 areas had rates that
were unchanged, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor reported today. Twenty-six metropolitan areas registered jobless
rates below 3.0 percent, with 16 of these located in the South. Ten
metropolitan areas posted jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent; seven of
these were located in California and two were along the Mexican border in
other states. The national unemployment rate was 5.1 percent in December,
not seasonally adjusted.
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Unemployment rates below 4.0 percent were recorded in 106 metropolitan
areas in December, up from 73 areas a year earlier, while rates of at least
7.0 percent were registered in 34 areas, down from 50 areas in December
2003. As it did in nearly every month of 2004, Bryan-College Station,
Texas, posted the lowest unemployment rate, 1.8 percent in December. The
next lowest rates were reported in Charlottesville, Va., 1.9 percent,
Gainesville, Fla., 2.0 percent, and Madison, Wis., 2.1 percent. All four
of these areas are home to major state universities. Yuma, Ariz., an
agricultural area, again posted the highest unemployment rate, 15.3 percent.
The next highest rates were recorded in six other agricultural areas, all
located in California: Visalia-Tulare-Porterville, 14.8 percent; Merced and
Yuba City, 13.8 percent each; Salinas, 12.9 percent; Fresno, 12.2 percent;
and Bakersfield, 11.9 percent. (See table 1.)
In December, New Bedford, Mass., recorded the largest unemployment rate
decrease from a year earlier (-2.0 percentage points). Four other areas
each reported decreases of 1.9 percentage points--Danville, Va., Jersey
City, N.J., McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas, and San Jose, Calif. Sixty-
three additional areas had over-the-year rate decreases of a full percentage
point or more. Sumter, S.C., again registered the largest jobless rate
increase from a year ago (+2.4 percentage points). The next largest rate
increases were reported in three Pennsylvania areas--Altoona (+1.8 percentage
points), Johnstown (+1.6 points), and Williamsport (+1.4 points). Seven
additional areas had over-the-year increases of at least one percentage point.
- 2 -
Of the 51 metropolitan areas with a 1990 census population of 1 million
or more, 44 areas reported lower jobless rates than in December 2003, 5
posted higher rates, and 2 had rates that were unchanged. Orange County,
Calif., and Washington, D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va., continued to record the lowest
unemployment rates among the large areas, 2.7 and 2.9 percent, respectively.
The next lowest jobless rates were registered in Middlesex-Somerset-Hunterdon,
N.J., 3.0 percent, and Phoenix-Mesa, Ariz., and San Diego, Calif., 3.2 percent
each. Detroit, Mich., had the highest rate among the large areas, 6.9 percent,
followed by Cleveland-Lorain-Elyria, Ohio, Memphis, Tenn.-Ark.-Miss., and
Portland-Vancouver, Ore.-Wash., 6.1 percent each, and Buffalo-Niagara Falls,
N.Y., 6.0 percent. The next highest rates were in the three most populous
metropolitan areas, Chicago, Ill., Los Angeles-Long Beach, Calif., and New
York, N.Y., 5.7 percent each. San Jose, Calif., reported the largest over-
the-year jobless rate decrease (-1.9 percentage points), followed by New
York, N.Y., and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (-1.6 points each), and two
areas in New Jersey--Bergen-Passaic and Newark (-1.4 points each). Ten
additional areas had over-the-year rate decreases of a full percentage point
or more. Pittsburgh, Pa., posted the largest over-the-year jobless rate
increase (+0.5 percentage point) among these areas.
Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Among the 274 metropolitan areas for which December 2004 nonfarm payroll
data were available, 221 reported over-the-year increases in employment, 50
recorded decreases, and 3 had no change. The largest over-the-year
employment increases were posted in Washington, D.C.-Md.-Va.-W.Va.
(+78,800), Phoenix-Mesa, Ariz. (+45,600), Las Vegas, Nev.-Ariz. (+44,600),
New York, N.Y. (+39,700), St. Louis, Mo.-Ill. (+38,800), Houston, Texas

Over the year, nonfarm employment increased in 35 of the 39 metropolitan
areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2003. The
largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment in these large
metropolitan areas were posted in Las Vegas, Nev.-Ariz. (+5.3 percent),
St. Louis, Mo.-Ill. (+3.0 percent), Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, N.C.-S.C.

| Planned Changes in Local Area Unemployment Statistics and in |
| Metropolitan Area Designations |
| |
| Beginning with the release of data for January 2005 in March, |
| a redesigned method for producing labor force estimates for |
| census regions, divisions, states, and selected substate areas |
| will be implemented. The redesigned method encompasses a number |
| of changes: (1) the introduction of improved time-series |
| regression models for all states, the District of Columbia, New |
| York City, the Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale metropolitan |
| division (currently the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan |
| area), and the respective balances of New York and California; |
| (2) the introduction of real-time benchmarking to national |
| Current Population Survey (CPS) estimates of employment and |
| unemployment; and (3) the introduction of time-series regression |
| models for six additional substate areas and their respective |
| balances of state. The estimates also will reflect routine |
| annual updates to population estimates from the U.S. Census |
| Bureau. More information on the changes is available from the |
| Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Local Area Unemployment |
| Statistics Web site at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lauschanges2005.htm. |
| |
| Other changes affecting the estimation methodology for the |
| substate areas include: (1) implementation of Census 2000-based |
| geographic area definitions; (2) the incorporation of Census 2000 |
| inputs for estimation; and (3) updates in substate estimation |
| methodology. All data from January 2000 forward will be revised |
| to incorporate all of these changes. Also, in order to present |
| a more consistent substate series, the substate data for 1990-99 |
| will be revised to reflect new area definitions and statewide |
| controls. |
| |
| In addition to the changes for the Local Area Unemployment |
| Statistics program described above, both the metropolitan area |
| labor force data presented in table 1 of this news release and |
| the metropolitan area nonfarm payroll employment data presented |
| in table 2 of this release will be revised to reflect the |
| introduction of newly defined metropolitan areas based on new |
| standards and the results of Census 2000. Data for the new |
| metropolitan statistical area designations will be published, |
| along with those for newly created metropolitan divisions, |
| starting with the January 2005 Metropolitan Area news release on |
| March 17, 2005. Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas |
| (NECTAs) and NECTA Divisions will be used for the six New England |
| states, rather than county-based areas. Compared with the 1990- |
| census designated areas, these changes will increase the number |
| of metropolitan statistical areas and metropolitan NECTAs to 375. |
| Both the metropolitan area labor force data and the nonfarm |
| payroll employment data will be revised back to 1990 to reflect |
| the changes in metropolitan area designations. More information |
| about the changes to metropolitan areas is available from the |
| Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Local Area Unemployment |
| Statistics Web site at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm. |

Technical Note
This release presents labor force and unemployment data from
the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (table 1)
for 337 metropolitan areas, including those in Puerto Rico. Nonfarm
payroll employment estimates from the Current Employment Statistics
(CES) program (table 2) are provided for over 270 of these 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 labor force includes both the employed and the unemployed.
Employed persons are those who did any work at all for pay or
profit in the survey 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 have 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 did not work at all (in the
reference week), have actively looked for a job (sometime in the
4-week period ending with the survey reference week), and are
currently available for work; persons on layoff expecting recall
need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed.
Method of estimation. Effective January 1996, estimates for
all states, the District of Columbia, the Los Angeles-Long Beach
metropolitan area, and New York City are produced using estimating
equations based on regression techniques. For all other substate
areas, estimates are prepared through indirect estimation
procedures. 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 (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 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 with January estimates. The adjusted estimates
reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census Bureau and
any revisions in the other data sources. In addition, data for
all states, the District of Columbia, and the two large substate
areas noted are adjusted annually to equal the CPS annual
averages, usually effective with January estimates. All other
substate estimates are adjusted to add to the revised (benchmarked)
state estimates.
- 6 -
Employment-from the CES program
Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on
establishment payrolls who receive pay for any part of the pay
period which 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 2002 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 for the previous month by
these ratios. Small-domain models are used as the official
estimators for the approximately 10 percent of CES published
series which have sample-based estimates.
Annual revisions. Employment estimates are adjusted annually
to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived
principally from tax reports which 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.
Reliability of the estimates
The estimates presented in this release are based on sample
survey and administrative data 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 are also 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 special
estimation processes used. The sums of individual items may not
always equal the totals shown in the same tables because of
rounding. With respect to the LAUS program, unemployment rates
are computed, in most instances, from unrounded data rather than
from data that may be displayed in the tables; differences,
however, are generally insignificant.
Labor force and unemployment estimates. Measures of sampling
error, in the form of the standard errors for state annual average
estimates derived from the CPS, are available in the annual BLS
bulletin, Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment.
Error measures cannot be computed for substate areas because of
the special estimation processes used. Measures of nonsampling
error for CPS data are not available, but additional information
on the subject is provided in the BLS monthly periodical,
Employment and Earnings.

Employment estimates. Measures of sampling error for state
CES data at the supersector level and for metropolitan area CES
data at the total nonfarm level are available on the BLS Web site
at (http://www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm). Information on recent
benchmark revisions for states is available at (http://www.bls.gov/
sae/).
Area definitions. The substate area data published in this
release reflect the standards and definitions established by the
U.S. Office of Management and Budget, dated June 30, 1996. A
detailed list of the geographic definitions is published annually
in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.
Additional information
More complete information on the technical procedures used to
develop these estimates and additional data appear in Employment
and Earnings, which is available by subscription from the Superin-
tendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington,
DC 20402 (telephone 202-512-1800).
Estimates of unadjusted and seasonally adjusted labor force
and unemployment data for states, census regions and divisions,
and two areas are available in the news release, Regional and
State Employment and Unemployment. Estimates of labor force and
unemplopment 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 BLS Web site at
(http://stats.bls.gov/lau/). Employment data from the CES
program are available at (http://stats.bls.gov/sae/).
