       METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT:  DECEMBER 2007

   Unemployment rates were higher in December than a year earlier in 277 of
the 369 metropolitan areas, lower in 67 areas, and unchanged in 25 areas,
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported
today.  Eight metropolitan areas, seven of which are located in California,
recorded jobless rates of at least 10.0 percent.  Twenty-two areas regis-
tered rates below 3.0 percent.  The national unemployment rate in December
was 4.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted, up from 4.3 percent a year ear-
lier.

Metropolitan Area Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   In December, 32 metropolitan areas reported unemployment rates of at
least 7.0 percent, up from 22 areas a year earlier, while 108 areas posted
rates below 4.0 percent, down from 168 areas in December 2006.  Two adjacent,
heavily agricultural areas continued to register the highest jobless rates:
El Centro, Calif., 17.9 percent, and Yuma, Ariz., 12.4 percent.  Logan, Utah-
Idaho, had the lowest rate, 2.1 percent, followed by Idaho Falls, Idaho, at
2.2 percent, and Santa Fe, N.M., at 2.4 percent.  Overall, 209 areas recorded
unemployment rates below the U.S. figure of 4.8 percent, 148 areas had higher
rates, and 12 areas had the same rate.  (See table 1.)

   Sixty-three areas reported over-the-year unemployment rate increases of at
least 1.0 percentage point in December, while two areas posted rate decreases
of 1.0 point or more.  The areas recording the largest rate increases were
Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla., El Centro, Calif., and Punta Gorda, Fla. (+3.0
percentage points each).  Of the 60 remaining areas with rate increases of
1.0 percentage point or more, about two-thirds also were located in California
or Florida.  Leominster-Fitchburg-Gardner, Mass., registered the largest over-
the-year jobless rate decrease in December (-1.2 percentage points), followed
by Decatur, Ala. (-1.0 point).

   Of the 49 metropolitan areas with a Census 2000 population of 1 million or
more, Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich., again recorded the highest unemployment 
rate, 8.0 percent in December.  The areas posting the next highest rates were
Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif., at 6.2 percent, and Cleveland-Elyria-
Mentor, Ohio, at 6.1 percent.  Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-
W.Va., registered the lowest jobless rate among the large areas, 3.0 percent.
Birmingham-Hoover, Ala., reported the next lowest rate, 3.4 percent, followed
by Richmond, Va., and Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News, Va.-N.C., at 3.5
percent each.  Forty-four of the large areas recorded higher unemployment 
rates than in December 2006, four registered lower rates, and one had no change.
Among the large areas, Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater, Fla.,reported the larg-
est jobless rate increase (+1.7 percentage points), followed closely by River-
side-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (+1.6 points) and Orlando-Kissimmee, Fla.
(+1.5 points).  Nine additional large areas posted rate increases of 1.0 per-
centage point or more.  Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-N.H., had the largest
unemployment rate decrease from a year earlier (-0.7 percentage point).  No 
other large area had a rate decrease greater than 0.3 percentage point.

Metropolitan Division Unemployment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Eleven of the most populous metropolitan areas are composed of 34 metropoli-
tan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment cen-
ters.  In December 2007, the two divisions that comprise the Detroit-Warren-
Livonia, Mich., metropolitan area continued to post the highest unemployment
rates:  Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, 9.0 percent, and Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills,
7.3 percent.  Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., had the next highest rate,
6.5 percent.   Bethesda-Gaithersburg-Frederick, Md., again reported the lowest
division unemployment rate, 2.5 percent.  Framingham, Mass., and Washington-
Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va., recorded the next lowest jobless rates,
3.2 percent each.  Seven additional divisions registered jobless rates below
4.0 percent.  (See table 2.)


                                   - 2 -


   In December, 21 of the 34 metropolitan divisions recorded over-the-year unem-
ployment rate increases, and 13 had rate decreases.  Lake County-Kenosha County,
Ill.-Wis., and West Palm Beach-Boca Raton-Boynton Beach,Fla., posted the largest
unemployment rate increases from December 2006 (+1.5 percentage points each).  
Five additional divisions reported rate increases of 1.0 percentage point or
more.  Eight of the nine divisions within the Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-
N.H., metropolitan area registered the largest rate declines among the divisions,
ranging from -1.2 percentage points to -0.5 point.

   In 4 of the 11 metropolitan areas that contain divisions, the ranges between
the highest and lowest division jobless rates were 1.0 percentage point or more
in December 2007.  The metropolitan area that had the largest rate difference 
among its divisions, 3.3 percentage points, was Boston-Cambridge-Quincy, Mass.-
N.H. (Lawrence-Methuen-Salem, Mass.-N.H., 6.5 percent, compared with Framingham,
Mass., 3.2 percent). 

Metropolitan Area Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   In December, 305 metropolitan areas reported over-the-year increases in nonfarm
payroll employment, 48 reported decreases, and 14 had no change.  The largest over-
the-year employment gain was posted in New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island,
N.Y.-N.J.-Pa. (+79,000), followed by Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas (+65,800),
Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+59,800), and Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta,
Ga. (+52,600).  The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment were
reported in Danville, Va. (+6.8 percent), Billings, Mont. (+6.6 percent), and 
Great Falls, Mont., and McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Texas (+5.4 percent each).  (See
table 3.)

   The largest over-the-year decreases in employment occurred in Detroit-Warren-
Livonia, Mich. (-36,700), Flint, Mich. (-5,100), Saginaw-Saginaw Township North,
Mich. (-2,900), and Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio-Pa. (-2,800).  The largest 
over-the-year percentage decreases in employment were reported in Anderson, Ind.
(-3.7 percent), Bay City, Mich. (-3.4 percent), Flint, Mich. (-3.3 percent),
Saginaw-Saginaw Township North, Mich. (-3.1 percent), and Sumter, S.C. (-3.0 per-
cent).

   Over the year, nonfarm employment rose in 36 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
Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, Wash. (+2.7 percent), Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, 
Calif. (+2.5 percent), Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown, Texas (+2.4 percent), and Orlando-
Kissimmee, Fla. (+2.3 percent).  Among the largest areas, the only reported decrease
in employment occurred in Detroit-Warren-Livonia, Mich. (-1.8 percent).

Metropolitan Division Nonfarm Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted)

   Nonfarm payroll employment data were available in December 2007 for 32 metropoli-
tan divisions, which are essentially separately identifiable employment centers with-
in a metropolitan area.  Twenty-nine of the 32 metropolitan divisions reported over-
the-year employment gains and 3 reported losses.  The largest over-the-year increases
in the metropolitan divisions occurred in New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J.
(+62,000), Dallas-Plano-Irving, Texas (+49,400), Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash.
(+41,100), and Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va. (+35,000). Declines
were seen in Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich. (-20,500), Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn,
Mich. (-16,200), and Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif. (-6,600).  (See table 4.)

   The largest over-the-year percentage increases in employment among the metropoli-
tan divisions were reported in Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, Wash. (+2.8 percent), Dallas-
Plano-Irving, Texas (+2.4 percent), Tacoma, Wash. (+2.0 percent), and Fort Worth-
Arlington, Texas (+1.9 percent).  Percentage declines in employment were reported in 
Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich. (-2.0 percent), Warren-Troy-Farmington Hills, Mich.
(-1.7 percent), and Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif. (-0.4 percent).

 |   For December, BLS and its state partners continued to make modifications   |
 |to the usual estimation procedures for the LAUS program to reflect the impact |
 |of Hurricane Katrina on the labor force statistics in affected areas.  These  |
 |modifications included:  (1) modifying the state population controls to ac-   |
 |count for displacement due to Katrina; (2) developing labor force estimates   |
 |for the New Orleans-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.                                                             |

 |   Effective with the release of 2007 annual average estimates on February 29,|
 |the labor force data for all states, the District of Columbia, and the seven  |
 |substate modeled areas presented in tables 1 and 2 of this news release will  |
 |be revised to incorporate updated population controls, reestimation of models,|
 |and adjustment to new census division and national control totals.  Labor     |
 |force estimates for all other metropolitan areas subsequently will be revised |
 |to reflect updated inputs and the new statewide estimates.  Data back to 2003 |
 |are subject to revision.  The updated population controls reflect the annual  |

Technical Note

   This release presents labor force and unemployment data from the Local
Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program (tables 1 and 2) for 377 met-
ropolitan 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.Nonfarm payroll 
employment estimates from the Current Employment Statistics (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 refer-
ence.  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 Statis-
tics (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 with-
out 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.  Un-
employed 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 pro-
duced using updated time-series models with real-time benchmarking.  
Model-based estimation was extended to the following areas and the re-
spective 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 Metropolitan Statistical Area; and Seattle-Bellevue-Everett, WA Met-
ropolitan Division.  This will improve the statistical basis of the es-
timation for these areas and provide important tools for analysis, such
as measures of error and seasonally adjusted series.  For all other sub-
state areas, estimates are prepared through indirect estimation proce-
dures.  Employment estimates, which are based largely on "place of work"
estimates from the CES program, are adjusted to refer to place of resi-
dence as used in the CPS.  Unemployment estimates are aggregates of per-
sons previously employed in industries covered by state unemployment (UI)
laws and entrants to the labor force data from the CPS.  The substate es-
timates 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 de-
scription 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 reestimation at the state and selected area level.  All substate
area estimates are adjusted to add to the revised model-based estimates.



                                  - 5 -

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 2002 version of the North American Industry Classifi-
cation System.

   Method of estimation.  The employment data are estimated using a "link re-
lative" technique in which a ratio (link relative) of current-month employment
to that of the previous month is computed from a sample of establishments re-
porting 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 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 employ-
ment 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 adminis-
trative 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 sam-
ple 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, unemploy-
ment rates are computed from unrounded data rather than from data that may be dis-
played 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
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 super-
sector level and for metropolitan area CES data at the total nonfarm level are avail-
able 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 defini-
tions 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.

mates and additional data appear in Employment and Earnings, which is available by
subscription from the Superintendent 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 administra-
tion 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

   1 Area boundaries do not reflect official OMB definitions.
   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
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 These 11 areas contain all of the 34 metropolitan divisions. 
   2 Part of the area (or division) is in one or more adjacent states.
   3 All of the division is in one or more adjacent states.
   NOTE:  Data refer to place of residence.  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 corresponds to the first city in their title.
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.  Data for 2006 have been revised to incorporate updated
inputs and adjustments to new state controls.
