The Hartford, Connecticut, metro area followed closely with the second-lowest rate of 2.8%. The BLS defines a large metro area as one with a population of 1 million or more. Among metro areas of all sizes, Burlington, Vermont, and Sioux Falls, South Dakota, had the lowest jobless rates, each at 1.9%. Portsmouth, which spans parts of New Hampshire and Maine, and Rapid City, South Dakota, both had the next-lowest rates at 2.1%.
