THE EM PLOYM ENT SITUATION: JUNE 1966
The Nation* s jo b situation in June was dom inated by the influx o f n early
2. 8 m illion teen agers into the la b or fo r c e .

E m ploym ent of 14-19 y e a r -o ld s

r o se by 2. 0 m illion (550, 000 m o re than season al) to a r e c o r d high of 8 .3
m illion .

The greater-th an -season al em ploym ent pickup r e fle c te d both the

late survey w eek (when m ost teen agers w ere out o f sch o o l) and the e ffe c tiv e ­
n ess of the cam paign to provide sum m er jo b s fo r youth.

At the sam e tim e,

a r e c o r d number of teen agers entered the sum m er jo b m arket.

As a resu lt,

teenage unem ploym ent (about 1. 9 m illio n ) was roughly the sam e as in June
of 1965.
While the number of unem ployed teenagers showed the usual seasonal
r is e , the substantial em ploym ent advance redu ced the jo b le s s rate fro m
130 4 percen t in May to 12. 3 percen t in June.
On the other hand, the em ploym ent situation fo r adult w o rk e rs showed
no im provem en t over the m onth, follow ing v e ry rapid gains in the JanuaryA p ril 1966 p eriod . Unemploym ent among adult m en ro se by about 100, 000
in June, although no change is expected at this tim e o f y e a r; their unem ploym ent
rate m oved up fro m 2. 4 percen t in A p ril and May to 2. 6 percen t in June.
The unem ploym ent rate fo r a ll civ ilia n w o rk e rs rem ained at 4 .0 p ercen t
in June. W hile this rate was slightly above the 3. 7 -3 .8 p ercen t range r e co r d e d
fr o m F ebru ary to A p ril, it was down sharply fr o m 4. 7 percen t in June 1965.
The rate o f State in su red unem ploym ent, at 2.1 p ercen t, was a lso unchanged
fr o m May to June, rem aining at the low est le v e l since the start o f the s e r ie s
in January 1949#

T otal em ploym ent r o s e by 2, 0 m illio n to a r e c o r d high of 75, 7 m illion

The number of em p loyees on,nonfarm p a y rolls in cre a se d by about 10 0
m illion to alm ost 64„ 0 m illion in June0 A fter seasonal adjustm ent, the gain
-was approxim ately 325,000 and w as concentrated in m anufacturing, con stru ction ,
nd State and lo c a l government® Since June 1965, p a yroll em ploym ent has
dvanced by 3. 1 m illion,, M anufacturing em ploym ent, which topped the 19
m illion m ark in June, has r is e n by 1„ 1 m illio n in the past y e a r.

The jo b le s s total r o s e by 900, 000 to 30 9 m illio n in June, The o v e r -t h e month in cr e a s e , which took place m ainly among teen a g ers, w as about in line
with seasonal expectations.
A fter seasonal adjustm ent, unem ploym ent averaged 3 ,0 m illio n in the
second quarter of 1966, up slightly fr o m 2. 9 m illio n in the fir s t q u arter.
The slight in cre a se in the A pril-Ju n e 1966 p eriod follow ed nine con secu tive
qu arters o f d e c lin e --w ith p a rticu la rly sharp d e c r e a s e s evident sin ce the
sum m er of 1965, The unem ploym ent rate fo r all w o rk e rs avera ged 3 ,9
p ercen t in the secon d qu arter, com p ared with 3 ,8 percen t in the JanuaryM arch p eriod .
The slight in cr e a s e s in the rate and le v e l o f unem ploym ent in the
second quarter w ere attributable en tirely to w om en and te e n a g e rs. The
teenage jo b le s s rate edged up fro m 11, 6 to 12, 5 percen t between the fir s t
and second q u a rters. H ow ever, excep t fo r ea rly 1966, the teenage rate
was at its low est qu arterly le v e l since Jan u ary-M arch 1959, F o r adult
w om en the rate averaged 3 ,8 p ercen t in the A pril-Ju n e p eriod , com p ared
to 3, 7 p ercen t in the fir s t qu arter.
In con tra st, unem ploym ent ra tes fo r the prim e w ork er grou p s continued
to declin e in the second qu arter. F o r m en 25 y e a rs of age and o v e r , the rate
d e c r e a s e d fro m 2, 4 to 2, 2 percen t, reaching its low est le v e l in a lm ost 13 y e a r s .
The rate fo r m a rrie d m en edged down fro m 1,9 percen t in Ja n u a ry-M arch 1966
to 1. 8 p ercen t in the secon d qu arter.
The unem ploym ent rate fo r nonwhites averaged 7, 5 p ercen t in the second
qu arter, com p ared to 7,1 p ercen t in the fir s t 3 m onths o f 1966, The white rate
m oved fr o m 3, 4 to 3, 5 percen t between the fir s t and second q u a rte rs. The
nonwhite unem ploym ent rate has fa llen sharply but unevenly sin ce late 1963,
while the white rate had m oved down steadily. Throughout this p e rio d , the
ratio of the nonwhite to white unem ploym ent rate fluctuated around 2:1,

This re le a se presents and analyzes sta tis­
tics from two m a jor su rveys. Data on labor fo r c e ,
total em ploym ent, and unemployment are derived
from the sam ple survey of households conducted
and tabulated by the Bureau, of the Census fo r the
Bureau of L abor S tatistics. Statistics on industry
em ploym ent, h ou rs, and earnings are co lle cte d by
State agen cies from payroll r e co r d s of em p loy ers
and are tabulated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
A d escrip tion of the two surveys appears in the
