METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: MARCH 2009 Unemployment rates were higher in March than a year earlier in all 372 metropolitan areas, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Eighteen areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 15 areas registered rates below 5.0 percent. The national unemployment rate in March was 9.0 percent, not seasonally adjusted, up from 5.2 percent a year earlier. Among the 310 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll data were available, 282 areas reported over-the-year declines in employment, 22 reported increases, and 6 had no change. Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In March, 109 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, up from 14 areas a year earlier, while 95 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, down from 329 areas in March 2008. El Centro, Calif., recorded the highest unemployment rate, 25.1 percent. The areas with the next highest rates were Merced, Calif., 20.4 percent; Yuba City, Calif., 19.5 percent; and Elkhart-Goshen, Ind., 18.8 percent. Among the 18 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, 12 were located in California. Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, La., and Iowa City, Iowa, registered the lowest jobless rates, 3.6 percent each in March, followed closely by Ames, Iowa, at 3.7 percent. Overall, 158 areas posted unemployment rates above the U.S. figure of 9.0 percent, 209 areas reported rates below it, and 5 areas had the same rate. (See table 1 and the map.) Elkhart-Goshen, Ind., recorded the largest jobless rate increase from March 2008 (+13.0 percentage points). The areas with the next largest over-the-year rate increases were Bend, Ore. (+9.2 percentage points) and Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton, N.C. (+9.1 points). An additional 33 areas registered unemployment rate increases of 6.0 percentage points or more, and another 42 areas had rate increases of 5.0 to 5.9 points. Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, Detroit-WarrenLivonia, Mich., and Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., reported the highest unemployment rates in March, 14.0 and 12.9 percent, respectively. Nine additional large areas posted rates of 10.0 percent or more. The large areas with the lowest jobless rates in March were New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La., 5.3 percent, and Oklahoma City, Okla., 5.6 percent. All 49 large areas registered over-the-year unemployment rate increases of at least 1.9 percentage points. Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, Ore.-Wash., had the largest jobless rate increase from a year earlier (+6.5 percentage points), followed by CharlotteGastonia-Concord, N.C.-S.C. (+6.2 points) and Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (+6.0 points). Seven-
2
teen additional large areas recorded over-the-year unemployment rate increases of 4.0 percentage points or more. 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. In March, the two divisions that comprise the Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., metropolitan area registered the highest jobless rates: DetroitLivonia-Dearborn, 14.9 percent, and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, 13.4 percent. The divisions with the next highest rates were Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 12.2 percent, and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif., 11.3 percent. Bethesda-Frederick-Rockville, Md., reported the lowest unemployment rate among the divisions, 5.2 percent. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.W.Va., posted the next lowest rate, 6.1 percent. (See table 2.) In March, all 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate increases of at least 2.5 percentage points. Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich., experienced the largest rate increases (+6.0 percentage points each). Eleven additional divisions reported over-the-year rate increases of 4.0 percentage points or more. In 4 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowest division jobless rates were 2.0 percentage points or more in March. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.N.H., posted the largest rate difference among its divisions, 5.7 percentage points (Lawrence-MethuenSalem, Mass.-N.H., 12.2 percent, compared with Framingham, Mass., 6.5 percent). Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In March, of the 310 metropolitan areas for which data were available, 282 areas reported over-theyear declines in employment, while 22 reported increases. Six metropolitan areas had no change. The largest over-the-year decreases in employment were reported in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. (-221,300), New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (-219,700), ChicagoNaperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. (-157,600), Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-136,000), and DetroitWarren-Livonia, Mich. (-135,300). The largest over-the-year percentage decreases in employment occurred in Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (-12.9 percent), Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla. (-9.7 percent), Yuma, Ariz. (-9.5 percent), and Dalton, Ga. (-8.6 percent). The largest over-the-year increase was recorded in Austin-Round Rock, Texas (+3,300), followed by Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood, Texas (+2,300), Champaign-Urbana, Ill. (+2,200), and Odessa, Texas (+2,100). The largest over-the-year percentage gains were experienced in Odessa, Texas (+3.4 percent), Midland, Texas (+2.3 percent), and Grand Junction, Colo. (+2.0 percent). (See table 3.) Over the year, nonfarm employment fell in 37 of the 38 metropolitan areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2008. The largest over-the-year percentage declines in employment in these large areas were posted in Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., and Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-7.1 percent each), Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (-6.6 percent), and CharlotteGastonia-Concord, N.C.-S.C. (-6.1 percent). For the second consecutive month, Austin-Round Rock, Texas, was the only one of these metropolitan areas to record an over-the-year increase (+3,300 or +0.4 percent).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In March 2009, nonfarm payroll employment data were available for 32 metropolitan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area. Thirty-one of the 32 divisions recorded over-the-year employment decreases while 1 area reported an increase. The biggest losses were seen in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (-149,400), Chicago-NapervilleJoliet, Ill. (-142,700), New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (-121,000), and Warren-TroyFarmington Hills, Mich. (-91,500). (See table 4.) For the second consecutive month, BethesdaFrederick-Rockville, Md., was the sole metropolitan division reporting an over-the-year increase in employment (+1,200).

(-8.0 percent), followed by Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich. (-5.7 percent), Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif. (-4.8 percent), and Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-Deerfield Beach, Fla., Miami-Miami Beach-Kendall, Fla., and West Palm Beach-Boca RatonBoynton Beach, Fla. (-4.7 percent each). For the second consecutive month, Bethesda-FrederickRockville, Md., was the only metropolitan division to post an over-the-year percentage increase in employment (+0.2 percent). ________________________________
The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for April is scheduled to be issued on Friday, May 22. The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release for April is scheduled to be issued on Wednesday, June 3.
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, 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 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. Employed persons 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 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 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 CPS totals. Model-based estimation was extended to the following areas and their respective balances of state in 2005: the 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 Metropolitan Statistical Area; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA Metropolitan Division. (Model-based estimation of the New OrleansMetairie-Kenner metropolitan area was suspended following
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 state unemployment 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 balanceof-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 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.
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 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 for the previous month by these ratios. Small-domain models are used as the official estimators for the approximately 44 percent of CES published series which have insufficient sample for direct sample-based estimates. 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.
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 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. Modelbased error measures 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 information on the subject is provided in Employment and Earnings Online at http://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 http://www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Information on recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the BLS Web site 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 November 20, 2008. 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 http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.
Additional information More 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 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 Internet at http://www.bls.gov/lau/. Employment data from the CES program are available on the BLS Web site at http://www.bls.gov/sae/. Information in this release will be made available to sensory impaired individuals upon request.

1 These 11 areas contain all of the 34 metropolitan divisions. 2
Part of the area (or division) is in one or more adjacent states. All of the division is in one or more adjacent states. p = preliminary. NOTE: Data refer to place of residence. Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 09-01, dated November 20, 2008, and are available at http://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 that corresponds to the first city in their title. 3
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. Three sets of metropolitan areas and divisions have similar or identical titles. For Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., the metropolitan area and division titles are identical. For the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., and Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis., metropolitan areas, the division titles are similar but include only Massachusetts and Illinois, respectively. Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the following month.

METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT: MARCH 2009 Unemployment rates were higher in March than a year earlier in all 372 metropolitan areas, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Eighteen areas recorded jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, while 15 areas registered rates below 5.0 percent. The national unemployment rate in March was 9.0 percent, not seasonally adjusted, up from 5.2 percent a year earlier. Among the 310 metropolitan areas for which nonfarm payroll data were available, 282 areas reported over-the-year declines in employment, 22 reported increases, and 6 had no change. Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In March, 109 metropolitan areas reported jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent, up from 14 areas a year earlier, while 95 areas posted rates below 7.0 percent, down from 329 areas in March 2008. El Centro, Calif., recorded the highest unemployment rate, 25.1 percent. The areas with the next highest rates were Merced, Calif., 20.4 percent; Yuba City, Calif., 19.5 percent; and Elkhart-Goshen, Ind., 18.8 percent. Among the 18 areas with jobless rates of at least 15.0 percent, 12 were located in California. Houma-Bayou Cane-Thibodaux, La., and Iowa City, Iowa, registered the lowest jobless rates, 3.6 percent each in March, followed closely by Ames, Iowa, at 3.7 percent. Overall, 158 areas posted unemployment rates above the U.S. figure of 9.0 percent, 209 areas reported rates below it, and 5 areas had the same rate. (See table 1 and the map.) Elkhart-Goshen, Ind., recorded the largest jobless rate increase from March 2008 (+13.0 percentage points). The areas with the next largest over-the-year rate increases were Bend, Ore. (+9.2 percentage points) and Hickory-Lenoir-Morganton, N.C. (+9.1 points). An additional 33 areas registered unemployment rate increases of 6.0 percentage points or more, and another 42 areas had rate increases of 5.0 to 5.9 points. Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or more, Detroit-WarrenLivonia, Mich., and Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., reported the highest unemployment rates in March, 14.0 and 12.9 percent, respectively. Nine additional large areas posted rates of 10.0 percent or more. The large areas with the lowest jobless rates in March were New Orleans-Metairie-Kenner, La., 5.3 percent, and Oklahoma City, Okla., 5.6 percent. All 49 large areas registered over-the-year unemployment rate increases of at least 1.9 percentage points. Portland-Vancouver-Beaverton, Ore.-Wash., had the largest jobless rate increase from a year earlier (+6.5 percentage points), followed by CharlotteGastonia-Concord, N.C.-S.C. (+6.2 points) and Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (+6.0 points). Seven-

teen additional large areas recorded over-the-year unemployment rate increases of 4.0 percentage points or more. 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. In March, the two divisions that comprise the Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., metropolitan area registered the highest jobless rates: DetroitLivonia-Dearborn, 14.9 percent, and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, 13.4 percent. The divisions with the next highest rates were Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 12.2 percent, and Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif., 11.3 percent. Bethesda-Frederick-Rockville, Md., reported the lowest unemployment rate among the divisions, 5.2 percent. Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.W.Va., posted the next lowest rate, 6.1 percent. (See table 2.) In March, all 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year jobless rate increases of at least 2.5 percentage points. Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich., and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich., experienced the largest rate increases (+6.0 percentage points each). Eleven additional divisions reported over-the-year rate increases of 4.0 percentage points or more. In 4 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between the highest and lowest division jobless rates were 2.0 percentage points or more in March. Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.N.H., posted the largest rate difference among its divisions, 5.7 percentage points (Lawrence-MethuenSalem, Mass.-N.H., 12.2 percent, compared with Framingham, Mass., 6.5 percent). Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In March, of the 310 metropolitan areas for which data were available, 282 areas reported over-theyear declines in employment, while 22 reported increases. Six metropolitan areas had no change. The largest over-the-year decreases in employment were reported in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, Calif. (-221,300), New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (-219,700), ChicagoNaperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis. (-157,600), Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-136,000), and DetroitWarren-Livonia, Mich. (-135,300). The largest over-the-year percentage decreases in employment occurred in Elkhart-Goshen, Ind. (-12.9 percent), Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla. (-9.7 percent), Yuma, Ariz. (-9.5 percent), and Dalton, Ga. (-8.6 percent). The largest over-the-year increase was recorded in Austin-Round Rock, Texas (+3,300), followed by Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood, Texas (+2,300), Champaign-Urbana, Ill. (+2,200), and Odessa, Texas (+2,100). The largest over-the-year percentage gains were experienced in Odessa, Texas (+3.4 percent), Midland, Texas (+2.3 percent), and Grand Junction, Colo. (+2.0 percent). (See table 3.) Over the year, nonfarm employment fell in 37 of the 38 metropolitan areas with annual average employment levels above 750,000 in 2008. The largest over-the-year percentage declines in employment in these large areas were posted in Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., and Phoenix-Mesa-Scottsdale, Ariz. (-7.1 percent each), Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (-6.6 percent), and CharlotteGastonia-Concord, N.C.-S.C. (-6.1 percent). For the second consecutive month, Austin-Round Rock, Texas, was the only one of these metropolitan areas to record an over-the-year increase (+3,300 or +0.4 percent).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted) In March 2009, nonfarm payroll employment data were available for 32 metropolitan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers within a metropolitan area. Thirty-one of the 32 divisions recorded over-the-year employment decreases while 1 area reported an increase. The biggest losses were seen in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale, Calif. (-149,400), Chicago-NapervilleJoliet, Ill. (-142,700), New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. (-121,000), and Warren-TroyFarmington Hills, Mich. (-91,500). (See table 4.) For the second consecutive month, BethesdaFrederick-Rockville, Md., was the sole metropolitan division reporting an over-the-year increase in employment (+1,200).

For the second consecutive month, Bethesda-FrederickRockville, Md., was the only metropolitan division to post an over-the-year percentage increase in employment (+0.2 percent). ________________________________
The Regional and State Employment and Unemployment release for April is scheduled to be issued on Friday, May 22. The Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment release for April is scheduled to be issued on Wednesday, June 3.
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, 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 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. Employed persons 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 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 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 CPS totals. Model-based estimation was extended to the following areas and their respective balances of state in 2005: the 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 Metropolitan Statistical Area; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA Metropolitan Division. (Model-based estimation of the New OrleansMetairie-Kenner metropolitan area was suspended following
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 state unemployment 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 balanceof-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 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.
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 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 for the previous month by these ratios. Small-domain models are used as the official estimators for the approximately 44 percent of CES published series which have insufficient sample for direct sample-based estimates. 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.
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 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. Modelbased error measures 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 information on the subject is provided in Employment and Earnings Online at http://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 http://www.bls.gov/sae/790stderr.htm. Information on recent benchmark revisions for states is available on the BLS Web site 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 November 20, 2008. 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 http://www.bls.gov/lau/lausmsa.htm.

1 These 11 areas contain all of the 34 metropolitan divisions. 2
Part of the area (or division) is in one or more adjacent states. All of the division is in one or more adjacent states. p = preliminary. NOTE: Data refer to place of residence. Area definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 09-01, dated November 20, 2008, and are available at http://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 that corresponds to the first city in their title. 3
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. Three sets of metropolitan areas and divisions have similar or identical titles. For Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., the metropolitan area and division titles are identical. For the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., and Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, Ill.-Ind.-Wis., metropolitan areas, the division titles are similar but include only Massachusetts and Illinois, respectively. Estimates for the latest month are subject to revision the following month.
