April city/metro employment report is out. Apparently the Chicago MSA had the largest decrease in unemployment rate of any MSA between March and April by decreasing 1%. I can't see all the raw data yet though to see how the city did.
Msa unemployment rate is now at 3.6% NYC area is 4%, Houston area at 4.2%, Dallas area at 3.4%, Miami area are 3.7%, Los Angeles area at 3.7%. The number of unemployed persons decreased 38,085 people, but the labor force went down 51,426 people. This means the total number of employed persons decreased by 13,341.
At the same time, the total number of nonfarm employees increased by 34,700.
Will post city in a bit
