In October, 261 metropolitan areas recorded lower unemployment rates than a year earlier, 59 areas had higher rates, and 11 areas had rates that were unchanged. Twenty-five metropolitan areas registered jobless rates below 3.0 percent, with 12 of these located in the South, 7 in the Midwest, and 5 in the Northeast. Six of the seven areas with unemployment rates of at least 10.0 percent were located in California. The national unemployment rate was 5.1 percent, not seasonally adjusted, in October.
