Seasonally unadjusted unemployment rates in April fell in all Michigan regional labor markets, according to data from the Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget. Total employment rose in most regions while the direction of labor force change was mixed over the month.
“Michigan’s regional labor market areas exhibited typical seasonal movement for April,” said Jason Palmer, director of the Bureau of Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives, “Payrolls rose throughout the state as seasonal industries, such as construction, building services (including landscaping services), and recreation all added jobs in April.”
April regional jobless rate declines registered a median drop of nine-tenths of a percentage point and ranged from -0.5 to -2.1 percentage points. The Northeast Lower Michigan Region had the largest rate drop, decreasing by 2.1 percentage points to 6.7 percent. The Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids-Wyoming metro areas recorded the lowest unemployment rates (2.5 percent) among major Michigan labor markets in April.
Since April 2018, unemployment rates fell in 15 regions and increased in two (the Monroe and Detroit MSAs). Rate cuts over this period ranged from 0.1 to 0.7 percentage points. The Northeast Lower Michigan Region exhibited the largest over-the-year rate reduction of seven-tenths of a percentage point.
During April, total employment rose in fifteen regions, declined in the Detroit MSA, and remained unchanged in the Upper Peninsula region. Employment increases ranged from 0.3 to 1.9 percent with a median advance of 1.1 percent. The most pronounced over-the-month percent employment gain occurred in the Niles-Benton Harbor MSA (+1.9%).
Over the year, total employment rose in 16 labor market areas, with increases ranging from 0.4 to 2.4 percent. The Northwest Lower Michigan Region exhibited the largest percent employment advance since April 2018. The Midland MSA was the only region to demonstrate a small decline in employment over the year.
Michigan workforce levels in April rose in 10 regions. Labor force advances were modest, ranging from 0.1 to 1.0 percent with a median increase of 0.3 percent. Notable gains occurred in the Niles-Benton Harbor (+1.0%) and Lansing (+0.7%) metro areas. Six regions registered labor force declines over the month, led by the Northeast Lower Michigan Region (-1.2%). The Grand Rapids-Wyoming MSA's workforce remained unchanged in April.
Fifteen Michigan regions had higher labor force levels since April 2018. Workforce increases ranged from 0.4 to 1.9 percent with a solid median advancement of 1.2 percent. The Midland MSA was the only region to exhibit a workforce decrease over the year (-0.7%). The labor force level in the Bay City MSA remained unchanged.
The monthly survey of employers indicated that seasonally unadjusted payroll jobs in Michigan rose by 28,000 or 0.6 percent in April to 4,427,000. Employment gains were seen in most broad sectors and were led on a percentage basis by seasonal industries such as mining, logging and construction (+4.4%) and leisure and hospitality (+2.1%). The only payroll job decline of note occurred in manufacturing (-0.4%).
In April, nonfarm employment rose seasonally in all Michigan metro regions. Job advances ranged from 0.1 to 1.6 percent with the largest percentage additions in the Niles-Benton Harbor (+1.6%) and Jackson (+1.4%) MSAs.
Since April 2018, seasonally unadjusted jobs rose statewide by 35,000, or 0.8 percent. Ten Michigan regions advanced in employment over this period, led on a percentage basis by Flint (+1.8%) and Monroe (+1.7%). Nonfarm jobs fell in two regions over the year, and were essentially unchanged in the Battle Creek and Lansing metro regions.
Eighty of Michigan’s 83 counties demonstrated jobless rate declines in April while three counties had rate increases. Over the year, unemployment rates moved down in 71 counties, were up in nine, and remained unchanged in Branch, Keweenaw, and Oscoda counties.
