Only 13 metropolitan areas (Augusta, Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Charleston, Dallas, Hartford, Honolulu, McAllen, New Orleans, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, and Washington) regained more than a quarter of the jobs they had lost between their pre-recession high and their post-recession low. Only Austin, McAllen, New Orleans, and Washington regained more than half the jobs they lost.Only McAllen had made a complete jobs recovery by the fourth quarter.
