Metropolitan Statistical Area Definitions
CES publishes employment data for most MSAs and most metropolitan divisions, and
has retained the NECTA
definitions for metropolitan areas in the New England states
(Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and
Vermont). In addition, CES publishes employment series for eleven non-standard areas,
including the previous Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York Cities.
Employment estimates are not made for micropolitan and combined
statistical areas because the CES sample cannot support estimates at those
levels.
Within the Bureau of Labor Statistics, information on the publication
plans of employment and unemployment programs that produce data for
statistical areas is shown below.
