Metropolitan Area Economic Characteristics & Change 2008-2009
Economic change by region and metropolitan area in the United States has been very uneven over the past two years. This section summarizes economic characteristics and change by metro (MSA) using data on the number of establishments, employment and earnings for 2008 and 2009. These data are for the private sector only and are based on a near census of private sector establishments. The annual 2009 data were released in July 2010, and reflect data by place of work. 103 of the 366 metros experienced an increase in the number of private sector establishments between 2008 and 2009. Only two metros (Kennewick-Pasco-Richland, WA and Wenatchee-East Wenatchee, WA) experienced an increase in employment. 217 metros experienced an increase in average annual wages. Use the ranking table presented below to view characteristics of one metro in relation to others. Quarter to quarter measures, quarterly change data, and quarterly updates are available for each metro in the Metro Situation & Outlook reports. The Metro S&O reports show the establishments, employment and earning data by high level industry/sector. Updated monthly, the reports knit together wide-ranging geographic-demographic-economic attributes for the metro and component cities and counties.
