St. Louis and Indianapolis have joined the nation's top 10 markets for annual job gains in September, representing the Midwest on a list that includes two Northeast region markets, three Southern markets and three Western markets.

Overall job gains across the top 10 were down 13.7% from last month as the employment market continues to slow, according to RealPage's September metro employment update. Eight of August's top 10 returned to the list in September.

The New York-White Plains metro division continued to lead the nation in employment gains, with 106,700 new jobs over the past 12 months. It was the only market that exceeded 100,000 jobs gained for the year. However, its September total was down about 49,000 from August's 12-month total gain.
