Employment rates by city - source with charts?
Hi BP friends!
Looking for a resource where I can find employment rates by city/ area, preferably in a graph so I can easily see growth/ decline. I'd like data that shows a trend and not just a current snapshot.
Any leads appreciated! Thank you!

@Matt Gogh - I'm sure there are other resources out there but here is one that you can see graphs (and data) down to the metro area employment.

You just have to chose state, then county or MSA.
You can also find cool data like % of homeownership. I looked up Memphis (since that is where we live and invest) and was surprised that the data only went to 2015. Not sure about the rest of it.
Hope that works for you!
