Interest my it seems to have almost nothing to do with how strict Public heath restrictions were more to due with local sectors of the economy.

Jesus Texas cities took a hit in February compared to January. And California cities surged.

Question though, is this jobless rate or unemployment? Because that seveeely affects the outcome.

These statistics are at a metro level, not a city level. Which in the case of Metro Detroit isn't quite as profound of....well whatever point you are trying to make, as if it were the city itself.

Ok, but explain why Metro Detroit was the second highest only behind LV not too long ago. And why in this rankings, Texas cities are all of a sudden climbing down. Unemployment doesn’t equal jobless and I’m surprised people still confuse the two

I think Detroit's position on the list is far more interesting than the rankings of Birmingham, Salt Lake City or Jacksonville.

With the economy in flux as the nation emerges from the Covid induced slowdown, these employment numbers are likely moving around a great deal from one month to the next. It would be interesting to see a rolling average for 6 to 12 months. This would reveal which metro areas are truly demonstrating a sustained pattern of much stronger job markets than others. The February numbers showing Pittsburgh with double the unemployment rate of Detroit (yes, I'm aware the data is for metro areas not just cities), for instance, looks anomalous.
