Methodology

Source:
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Local Area Unemployment Statistics and Current Employment Statistics, July 2026 (seasonally unadjusted, metropolitan)
Measure
12-month change, ranked lowest 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.
Vintage
2026
