I would imagine every major metro will be in the red for April though, even if its only temporary.
My thoughts exactly. As bad as these numbers are, April is unfortunately going to be atrocious, and every metro area will certainly be "in the red."
There will be something of a rebound likely in June or July, but it's looking less and less likely that we'll get back to February 2020 employment levels later this year, especially with a likely "second wave" of the virus in the fall.
This is a very unique economic situation that's going to take a LOT of thought, collaboration, and effort from a LOT different experts to truly get back to normal. Many people seem to still unfortunately be in denial about how things will be different for the foreseeable future.
I thought that Dallas was leading the country in job growth? What happened? Why would Dallas lose so many more jobs than any other metro area? Maybe its from the airport or something.

Its messy in all industries including tech but I believe the ones who have felt it the strongest are hospitality, restaurants, bars, ect and I believe they make up a vast portion of the job losses as well. Also Austin and DFW shut down about a month before Atlanta did and Georgia technically only spent about 10 days with a mandatory stay at home order.
You gotta pick your poison, they may have the least job loss but they also have a very high case count for a state its size.
These job numbers are from February through March. Most of these metros were not closed. TX also had cities with positive growth during the period. Now, the numbers for April will be ugly for every metro.
You omitted Birmingham +400. From 544,300 to 544,700.
And it's probably not a good idea to look at job numbers for March, April, and even May. Unless you are just a complete masochist.
Looking at New York's awful numbers, I bet there are a lot of people there who are mad at AOC for working so hard to turn away the new Amazon headquarters.

Amazon is still expanding in NYC anyway. Technically it's not HQ2, but seeing as though Amazon knew where it wanted to go all along, I'm pretty sure they'll be ramping up employment over the years to a number close to that 25K figure--and without enormous tax breaks.
Even if NYC had officially gotten HQ2, it wouldn't have helped these numbers since it would still be in the early phases of hiring as it is in NoVA.
