METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: JANUARY 2007
Unemployment rates were lower in January than a year earlier in 179 of
the 369 metropolitan areas, higher in 156 areas, and unchanged in 34 areas,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported
today. Fourteen metropolitan areas registered jobless rates below 3.0 per-
cent, while 7 areas recorded rates of at least 10.0 percent. The national
unemployment rate in January was 5.0 percent, not seasonally adjusted.
Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In January, 85 metropolitan areas recorded unemployment rates below
4.0 percent, up from 73 areas a year earlier, and 46 areas posted rates of
at least 7.0 percent, up slightly from 44 areas in January 2006. Honolulu,
Hawaii, had the lowest unemployment rate, 2.0 percent, followed by Logan,
Utah-Idaho, 2.3 percent. Three highly agricultural areas registered the
highest jobless rates: El Centro, Calif., 14.9 percent, Merced, Calif.,
11.3 percent, and Yuma, Ariz., 11.1 percent. Overall, 190 areas reported
unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 5.0 percent, 168 areas had
higher rates, and 11 areas had the same rate. (See table 1.)
Three areas severely affected by Hurricane Katrina recorded the largest
over-the-year jobless rate decreases in January: Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss.
(-10.2 percentage points), Pascagoula, Miss. (-5.1 points), and New Orleans-
Metairie-Kenner, La. (-2.7 points). The hurricane struck in August 2005
and sharply raised unemployment rates in these areas in subsequent months.
Six additional areas had over-the-year rate decreases of 1.0 percentage
point or more in January 2007. El Centro, Calif., registered the largest
unemployment rate increase from a year earlier (+2.0 percentage points).
The areas with the next largest rate increases from January 2006 were
Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (+1.7 percentage points) and Janesville, Wis. (+1.4
points). Six other areas posted rate increases of 1.0 percentage point or
more.
Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million
or more, those recording the lowest jobless rates in January 2007 were
Birmingham-Hoover, Ala., and Richmond, Va., 3.2 percent each, followed
closely by 2 Florida areas: Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach and
Orlando-Kissimmee at 3.3 percent each. The large area with the highest
rate was Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., 8.0 percent. The areas with the
next highest rates were Louisville-Jefferson County, Ky.-Ind., 6.4 percent,
Providence-Fall River-Warwick, R.I.-Mass., 6.1 percent, and Cleveland-
Elyria-Mentor, Ohio, 6.0 percent. Twenty-six large areas experienced lower
unemployment rates than in January 2006, 18 registered higher rates, and 5
had no change. Among these areas, New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La., re-
ported the largest over-the-year jobless rate decrease (-2.7 percentage
points). Two Texas areas posted the next largest rate decreases: Houston-
Sugar Land-Baytown (-1.1 percentage points) and Austin-Round Rock (-0.7
point). Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., and Las Vegas-Paradise, Nev.,
recorded the largest rate increases from January 2006 (+0.5 percentage
point each).

Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are composed of 34
metropolitan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable
employment centers. Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-Deerfield Beach, Fla.,
reported the lowest division unemployment rate in January, 3.2 percent.
Bethesda-Gaithersburg-Frederick, Md., had the next lowest rate, 3.3 per-
cent, followed by Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla., and Washington-Arling-
ton-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., at 3.4 percent each. Two additional
divisions registered rates below 4.0 percent. The divisions with the
highest unemployment rates were Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., 9.1 per-
cent, and Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 8.7 percent. (See table 2.)
Twenty of the 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year unemploy-
ment rate increases in January, 13 posted rate decreases, and 1 had a rate
that was unchanged from a year earlier. Brockton-Bridgewater-Easton, Mass.,
and Gary, Ind., registered the largest rate increases (+0.7 percentage point
each). The divisions with the next largest jobless rate increases were
Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., and Lowell-Billerica-Chelmsford, Mass.-
N.H. (+0.6 percentage point each). Four other divisions had unemployment
rate increases of at least 0.5 percentage point from January 2006. Dallas-
Plano-Irving, Texas, registered the largest jobless rate decline from a year
earlier (-0.6 percentage point). No other division posted an over-the-year
unemployment rate decrease greater than 0.4 percentage point.
In 6 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges
between the highest and lowest division unemployment rates were 1.0 per-
centage point or more in January. The metropolitan areas that had the
widest rate ranges between their divisions were Boston-Cambridge-Quincy,
Mass.-N.H. (Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 8.7 percent, compared with
Nashua, N.H.-Mass., 4.3 percent) and Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (Detroit-
Livonia-Dearborn, 9.1 percent, compared with Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills,
7.2 percent).
Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
In January, 322 metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases
in nonfarm payroll employment, 40 reported decreases, and 5 had no change.
The largest over-the-year employment increases were posted in Houston-Sugar
Land-Baytown, Texas (+99,100), followed by Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz.
(+98,900), Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+95,200), New York-Northern
New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (+92,300), and Los Angeles-Long Beach-
Santa Ana, Calif. (+80,100). The largest over-the-year percentage increases
in employment were reported in Gulfport-Biloxi, Miss. (+16.0 percent), New
Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La. (+11.1 percent), Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, La.
(+8.4 percent), Myrtle Beach-Conway-North Myrtle Beach, S.C. (+7.5 percent),
and St. George, Utah (+7.0 percent). (See table 3.)
The largest over-the-year employment declines occurred in Detroit-Warren-
Livonia, Mich. (-47,400), Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio-Pa. (-3,800),
Dayton, Ohio (-2,800), Flint, Mich. (-2,700), Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (-2,000),
Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, Ohio (-1,900), and Canton-Massillon, Ohio (-1,800).
The largest over-the-year percentage declines in employment were reported
in Anderson, Ind. (-3.2 percent), Mansfield, Ohio (-2.6 percent), Detroit-
Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-2.4 percent), and Weirton-Steubenville, W.Va.-Ohio
(-2.2 percent).
Over the year, nonfarm employment rose in 35 of the 37 metropolitan
areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2006. The
largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment in these large
metropolitan areas were posted in Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (+5.4
percent), Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+4.2 percent), Las Vegas-
Paradise, Nev. (+3.8 percent), Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+3.4

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)
Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in January 2007 for
32 metropolitan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable
employment centers within a metropolitan area. Twenty-nine of the 32
metropolitan divisions reported over-the-year employment gains, 2 re-
ported losses, and 1 was unchanged. The largest over-the-year employment
increases in the metropolitan divisions occurred in Dallas-Plano-Irving,
Texas (+78,900), New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (+60,900), Los
Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (+53,200), and Seattle-Bellevue-
Everett, Wash. (+44,500). (See table 4.)

metropolitan divisions were reported in Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas (+4.0
percent), Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (+3.2 percent), San Francisco-
San Mateo-Redwood City, Calif. (+2.9 percent), and Haverhill-North Andover-
Amesbury, Mass.-N.H. (+2.1 percent). Over-the-year percentage decreases in
employment were reported in Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich. (-2.5 percent)
and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich. (-2.3 percent).

| Revisions to Metropolitan Area Employment |
| and Unemployment Data Series |
| |
| The metropolitan area and division labor force and unemployment |
| estimates presented in tables 1 and 2 of this release have been re- |
| vised for 2006 to incorporate updated inputs and to reflect new |
| state totals. Estimates on the BLS Web site have not been revised |
| and do not match the estimates for January or December 2006 in this |
| release. Those data will be released according to the annual pro- |
| cessing schedule provided at http://www.bls.gov/lau/launewsl.htm. |
| |
| In addition, all nonfarm payroll employment estimates for states, |
| metropolitan areas, and metropolitan divisions presented in tables |
| 3 and 4 of this release have been revised to reflect 2006 benchmark |
| levels. Not seasonally adjusted data for states, areas, and divi- |
| sions were revised back to at least April 2005. In order to incor- |
| porate improved procedures for minimizing series breaks, not season- |
| ally adjusted data for many states and certain areas and divisions |
| were revised prior to April 2005. For more information on benchmark |
| procedures, see http://www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm; for more in- |
| formation on the improved procedures for minimizing series breaks, |
| see http://www.bls.gov/sae/2006bmk.htm. |
| |
| Effective with this release, the titles of several metropolitan |
| areas and divisions have been changed to reflect updates in Office |
| of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 07-01, issued on December 18, |
| 2006. In addition, labor force estimates for two new metropolitan |
| areas designated in the bulletin, Lake Havasu City-Kingman, Ariz., |
| and Palm Coast, Fla., have been added to table 1. For specific in- |
| formation on title and definition changes, see the above-mentioned |

| Hurricane Katrina |
| |
| For January, BLS and its state partners continued to make modi- |
| fications to the usual estimation procedures for the LAUS program |
| to reflect the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the labor force sta- |
| tistics in affected areas. These modifications included: (1) modi- |
| fying the state population controls to account for displacement due |
| to Katrina; (2) developing labor force estimates for the New Or- |
| leans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan area using an alternative to the |
| model-based method; and (3) not publishing labor force estimates for |
| the parishes within the New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner metropolitan |
| area or cities within those parishes where the quality of input |
| data was severely compromised by the hurricane. |
| |

Technical Note
This release presents labor force and unemployment data from
the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1 and 2)
for 377 metropolitan statistical areas and metropolitan New England
City and Town Areas (NECTAs), including those in Puerto Rico. Estimates
for over 30 metropolitan and NECTA divisions also are presented. Non-
farm payroll employment estimates from the Current Employment Statis-
tics (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
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 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 did not work at all (in the
reference week), had actively looked for a job (sometime in the
4-week period ending with the survey reference week), and were
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 2005, estimates for
all census divisions, states, the District of Columbia, the Los
Angeles-Long beach-Glendale metropolitan division, and New York
City were produced using updated time-series models with real-
time benchmarking. Model-based estimation was extended to the
following areas and the respective balances-of-state: Chicago-
Naperville-Joliet, IL Metropolitan Division; Cleveland-Elyria-
Mentor, OH Metropolitan Statistical Area; Detroit-Warren-Livonia,
MI Metropolitan Statistical Area; Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, FL
Metropolitan Division; New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, LA Metropoli-
tan Statistical Area; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA Metropoli-
tan Division. This will improve the statistical basis of the esti-
mation for these areas and provide important tools for analysis,
such as measures of error and seasonally adjusted series. 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 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 end of each
year, usually implemented with January estimates. The adjusted
estimates reflect updated population data from the U.S. Census
Bureau, any revisions in the other data sources, and model reesti-
mation at the state and selected area level. All substate area
estimates are adjusted to add to the revised model-based estimates.

Employment--from the CES program
Definitions. Employment data refer to persons on establish-
ment 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 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 annual-
ly to a complete count of jobs, called benchmarks, derived princi-
pally 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 employ-
ment, 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 sam-
pling variability--that is, variation that occurs by chance be-
cause 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 from unrounded data rather than from data that may
be displayed in the tables; differences, however, are generally
insignificant.
Labor force and unemployment estimates. Model-based error
measures, including for over-the month change, are available for
states on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lastderr.htm.
Measures of nonsampling error are not available, but additional in-
formation 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 on December 18, 2006. A detailed list of
the geographic definitions is available on the Web at http://www.
bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and also is published annually in the May
issue of Employment and Earnings.
Additional information

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 eight areas are available in the news release, Regional and
State Employment and Unemployment. Estimates of labor force and
unemployment 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://
www.bls.gov/lau/. Employment data from the CES program are
available at http://www.bls.gov/sae/.

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 definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 07-01, dated
December 18, 2006, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and in the May issue of Employment and Earnings.
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 that appears first
in their titles. Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill., and Weirton-Steubenville, W.Va.-Ohio, are the exceptions in that
they are listed under Illinois and Ohio, respectively, for operational reasons. Data for 2006 have been revised to
incorporate updated inputs and adjustments to new state controls.

1 Area boundaries do not reflect official OMB definitions.
p = preliminary.
NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Data have been revised to reflect 2006 benchmark levels.
Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are provisional and will be revised when new information
becomes available. Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 07-01, dated
December 18, 2006, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and in the May issue of Employment
and Earnings. 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 that appears first in their titles. Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Iowa-Ill., and
Weirton-Steubenville, W. Va.-Ohio, are the exceptions in that they are listed under Illinois and Ohio,
respectively, for operational reasons.

NOTE: Data are counts of jobs by place of work. Data have been revised to reflect 2006 benchmark levels.
Estimates subsequent to the current benchmark are provisional and will be revised when new information
becomes available. Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 07-01, dated
December 18, 2006, and are available at http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm and in the May issue of Employment
and Earnings. 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 that appears first in their titles. 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.
