What it measuresMetropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment (Monthly), in one paragraph
Metropolitan Area Employment and Unemployment carries the same labor-market estimates as the state release, down to individual metropolitan areas.
What JMM reads first
Metro estimates come from smaller samples than the state ones, so a single month for a single city moves on noise. Treat the direction over several months as the signal and one month as decoration.
