So How Was 2013? A progress report on employment growth by MSA  

Tom Tveidt

Garner Economics Research Economist

 

At the end of 2013, 294 U.S. metros, or 79 percent of the total, were adding jobs. That matches up surprising close to the numbers we saw at the end of 2012, 2011, and even 2010 (see chart below). So is 2013 just following the same trend that began in 2010?

 

To get a more accurate measure of what really happened in 2013 we examined employment in each of the year's twelve months and compared each to employment totals in the same month the year before. If employment was up year-over-year, then the metro was adding new jobs, and vice versa, if employment was lower, jobs were being lost. See the full report and how your metro did in 2013 month to month by clicking here.
