Methodology
Source:
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Local Area Unemployment Statistics and Current Employment Statistics, July 2026 (seasonally unadjusted, metropolitan)
Measure
12-month labour force growth, ranked highest first across the 150 most populous U.S. metropolitan areas, together with every metropolitan area this series covers
(152 ranked in total).
Universe
Places below a 5,000-resident floor are excluded so a median computed on a handful of households cannot top the ranking.
Every figure on this page is computed directly from the dataset named above
by ALEX Intelligence. No figure on this page was written by hand or by a
language model. The query is stated so that anyone can re-run it and obtain
the same table.
