1 Metropolitan Statistical Areas Author: Dr. Leonidas Murembya, State Coordinator of Regional Economic Research Southwest Michigan 201 N. Washington Sq., 5 th Floor Lansing MI Phone: Bureau of Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives (LMISI) Jobless Rates Dropped throughout Southwest Michigan Mostly Due to a Withdrawal of Youth and Other Seasonal Workers from the Labor Force unemployment rates fell substantially in all regional counties, despite modest changes in employment levels. The jobless rate declines were instead related to fewer summer and seasonal jobseekers in local labor markets in. Some support staff in the private and public schools were recalled in to prepare for the upcoming school year. Another factor in the jobless rate reductions in a few counties (e.g., Kalamazoo and St. Joseph) was a seasonal increase in temporary jobs in the agricultural sector. Grand Rapids-Wyoming Detroit-Warren-Dearborn Figure 1: Jobless Rates Ann Arbor Lansing-East Lansing Monroe Midland Kalamazoo-Portage Battle Creek Jackson Niles-Benton Harbor Bay City Saginaw Muskegon Flint points, respectively (Table 3). 3.4% 3.5% 4.0% 4.1% 4.2% 4.2% 4.6% 4.7% 4.8% 4.9% 5.0% 5.2% 5.4% 6.2% 0.0% 5.0% 10.0% In, all Southwest Michigan labor markets displayed an unemployment rate that was lower than the unadjusted statewide rate of 5.2 percent, which matched the nation s unadjusted jobless rate (Figure 2). jobless rates in both metro and non-metro labor markets of Southwest Michigan were substantially below last jobless rates for all four Southwest Michigan Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) fell below five percent. The Michigan unadjusted unemployment rate was estimated at 5.2 percent in. Of the 14 Michigan MSAs, the Kalamazoo-Portage displayed the 5 th lowest unemployment rate in, matching the rate in the Midland area. Battle Creek ranked 6 th ; Jackson 7 th ; and Niles- Benton Harbor 8 th. Regional Jobless Rates Reduced Considerably in and Over the Year Jobless rates decreased by an average of a full percentage point in all Southwest Michigan metro counties, and by 1.3 percentage points in nonmetro labor markets (Tables 1 and 2). Jobless rates in the two local Prosperity Regions 8 and 9 declined as well over the month by 1.1 and 1.0 percentage Figure 2: Jobless Rates for Southwest Michigan Counties Page Source: Bureau of Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives

2 year s levels by -1.6 and -1.8 percentage points on average, respectively. Labor Force Levels Declined Mostly over the Month but Were Up Generally over the Year In, civilian labor force declined in all metro and almost all non-metro labor markets of Southwest Michigan, with the exception of Cass, where workforce levels remained flat, and in Lenawee and St. Joseph counties where the levels of labor force rose by 225 and 525, respectively. The workforce reductions in local metropolitan statistical areas (MSA) were minor: -300 in Niles-Benton Harbor (Berrien County); -400 in Kalamazoo-Portage (Kalamazoo and Van Buren counties), -700 in Battle Creek (Calhoun County), and -800 in Jackson. Over the year, labor force gains were recorded in the Niles-Benton Harbor MSA (+300), Battle Creek (+900), and Kalamazoo-Portage (+1,600). Labor force levels declined year to year in in the Jackson MSA (-800) (Table 1). Labor force reductions in across Southwest Michigan non-metro labor markets were also minimal and extended from -125 in Branch to -375 in Allegan. Over the year, workforce levels edged down in Branch (-50), Lenawee (-150), and Hillsdale (-175), while inching up in Cass (+200) and St. Joseph (+250). Allegan County s labor force rose substantially year to year in (+1,125 or +1.9 percent) (Table 2). Household Employment Edged Up in and Improved Considerably Over the Year Employment by place of residence was stable in throughout Southwest Michigan. In metro areas, additions to household employment extended from +100 in Battle Creek to +1,300 in Kalamazoo-Portage. Jackson and Niles-Benton Harbor MSAs also added some employment in : +200 and +300, respectively. In non-metro areas, Lenawee and St. Joseph counties recorded substantial household employment gains in (+800 and +1,025, respectively). Place-ofresidence employment additions in the remaining non-metro counties of Southwest Michigan extended from +100 in Hillsdale to +250 in Cass. Since 2014, employment improved in all metro and nonmetro areas of Southwest Michigan. Employment expanded in the Kalamazoo-Portage (+4,300), Battle Figure 3: Percent Employment in Southwest Michigan Counties Over the Year Page 2 Over the Month Nation Michigan St. Joseph Lenawee Hillsdale Cass Branch Barry Allegan Berrien Van Buren Kalamazoo Jackson Calhoun Source: Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives

3 Unemployment Rates Author: Dr. Leonidas Murembya, State Coordinator of Regional Economic Research Creek (+1,800), Niles-Benton Harbor (+1,500), and Jackson (+400) metro areas. Place-of-residence employment also progressed in all local non-metro counties over the year, ranging from +225 in Hillsdale to +2,075 in Allegan County. Current jobless rates in all four Southwest metropolitan areas were considerably lower than the levels attained in 2006: Jackson (-3.1 percentage points), Battle Creek (-2.7), Niles-Benton Harbor (-2.4), and Kalamazoo (-1.4). However, the number of individuals active in the labor market (employed or unemployed) was substantially Figure 4: Local Metro Area Unemployment Rates Since 2006 Year s Areas Benton Harbor Battle Creek Grand Rapids Jackson Kalamazoo lower in than in 2006: Kalamazoo-Portage (-10,100); Jackson (-5,600), Battle Creek (-5,500); and Niles-Benton Harbor (-5,000). Unemployment rates in local metropolitan areas escalated to double digits by an average of 6.2 percentage points during the recent Great Recession. But, since the official end of the recession in the second half of 2009, local metros jobless rates have plunged by over eight percentage points on average. Figure 5: Comparing the Trend of Local MSAs Unemployment Rates Since Benton Harbor Jackson Kalamazoo Battle Creek Gd. Rapids Years Source: Labor Market Information and Strategic Initiatives Nonfarm Payroll Jobs Were Stable in in Southwest Michigan Metro Areas In, all four Southwest Michigan metropolitan statistical areas displayed typical seasonal payroll job changes: minor job gains in the education and professional and business services sectors, and in some areas, negligible employment reductions in leisure and hospitality.

4 Battle Creek Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) Author: Dr. Leonidas Murembya, State Coordinator of Regional Economic Research Payroll jobs in the Battle Creek MSA (Calhoun County) remained unchanged over the month but continued to expand over the year. Current payroll employment levels remained at 59,400. The area gained 100 jobs in local public education but cut another 100 in trade, transportation, warehousing, and utilities.

5 From 2014 to in, the gains of employment in the trade, transportation, warehousing, and utilities (+500) and in manufacturing (+200) were largely offset by over the year job cuts in leisure and hospitality (-300) and government (-400). Total nonfarm payroll jobs in Jackson edged down 100 over the year, and were 3,000 below the 2006 levels.
