NEWS USDL - 73-423 FOR RELEASE: U. S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR OFFICE OF INFORMATION, W ASHINGTON, 0. C. 20210 Bureau of Labor Statistics J. Bregger (202) 961-2633 961-2472 961-2531 K.

(EDT) Friday, September 7, 1973 THE EM PLO YM ENT SITUATION: AUGUST 1973 The Nation' s employment situation in August was little changed from July, the U. S. Department of Labor' s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. unemploy ment rate, at 4. 8 percent, was essentially the same as it was in June and July but was substantially below the 5. 6-percent level of a year earlier. Total employment (as measured through the household survey) remained about unchanged in August at a seasonally-adjusted level of 84. 4 million. This was the sec ond straight month in which employment did not increase, after posting particularly strong gains earlier this year. Total employment has increased by 2. 4 million since August 1972. Nonagricultural payroll employment (as measured through the establishment survey) rose by 290, 000 to 75. 8 million. Since August 1972, payroll jobs have advanced by 2. 8 million. Unemployment The number of unemployed persons in August, at 4. 2 million (seasonally adjusted), and the unemployment rate, at 4. 8 percent, were virtually unchanged from July. How ever, the jobless rate has declined from a plateau of 5 percent at which it held during the first 5 months of the year and from about 5-1/2 in nfiid-1972. This stability in August was reflected in the rates for all of the major demographic groups. More specifically, jobless rates of household heads (2. 8 percent) , married men (2. 1 percent), adult men (3.1 percent) , adult women (4. 9 percent), and teenagers (14. 3 percent) were virtually the same as in July. There was also little change in the unemployment rates for Negro and white workers. A ll of these groups, however, have shown improvement over the past year. Among the major industry groups, the rate for construction workers declined from 9. 6 to 8. 2 percent, while there was an increase in joblessness among agricultural workers. - 2- The average (mean) duration of unemployment was 10. 0 weeks in August, up slightly from the previous month but 2 weeks below the year-ago average. For workers covered by State unemployment insurance programs, the August unemployment rate was 2. 7 percent, unchanged from July but down substantially from the 3. 4-percent rate of August 1972.

Jobholding among adult men did show a slight decline over the month, while employment of teenagers and adult women was unchanged. Since August a year ago, total employment has expanded by 2. 4 million. Adult women made up over 1. 1 million of this increase, while adult men and teenagers ac counted for 900, 000 and 330, 000, respectively. Vietnam Era Yfiterang. The employment situation for Vietnam Era veterans in August was much the same as it has been for the past year. The unemployment rate for the declining number of veterans 20 to 24 years of age, at 10. 1 percent seasonally adjusted, remained substan tially higher than the jobless rate for nonveterans of the same ages (7. 0 percent in August) . In contrast, jobless rates for veterans 25 to 29 years (4. 1 percent) and 30 to 34 years (1. 9 percent) , most of whom have been discharged from the service longer, were not materially different from those of their nonveteran counterparts. Industry Payroll Employment Nonagricultural payroll employment increased substantially in August and after seasonal adjustment was up 290, 000 to 75. 8 million. Since August a year ago, the number of payroll jobs has risen by 2. 8 million, nearly two-thirds of them in the service-producing sector. The July-to-August increase in payroll jobs was limited almost exclusively to the service-producing industries, which as a group posted an increase of 270, 000, the largest monthly pickup this year. This advance was paced by gains of 90, 000 in s e r vices, 75, 000 in wholesale and retail trade, and 60, 000 in State and local government jobs. Within the goods-producing industries, employment in manufacturing was virtually unchanged in August, as a small increase in durable goods was largely offset by a de cline in nondurable goods. The decrease in nondurables was prim arily traceable to job cutbacks in food processing. Manufacturing employment has remained steady since June, following a sustained surge since the beginning of 1972; during this period, factory jobs expanded by 1. 3 million, recovering all but 400, 000 of the job loss incurred during the 1969-70 recession. Nearly all of this gain took place in the durable goods sector. The number of construction jobs was virtually unchanged in August, after rising gradually over the previous 3 months. up 150, 000 from its August 1972 level. At 3. 7 million, construction employment was - 4- Hours of Work The average workweek for all rank-and-file workers on private nonagricultural payrolls was 37. 1 hours (seasonally adjusted) in August. about this level since February. Average hours have been at The workweek in manufacturing declined by 0. 2 hour in August, returning to its June 1973 level of 40. 6 hours. Factory overtime hours also declined by 0. 2 hour to a 1973 low of 3. 6 hours, after hitting a peak of 4. 1 hours in April. Average hours were unchanged from a year earlier both for all rank-and-file workers and for factory workers. Hourly and Weekly Earnings Hourly earnings for production or nonsupervisory personnel on private nonagri cultural payrolls rose 0. 3 percent from July to August on a seasonally adjusted basis. Since August 1972, hourly earnings have risen 6. 8 percent. Average weekly earnings were unchanged from July (seasonally adjusted) but also showed a 6. 8-percent increase since August of last year. Before adjustment for seasonality, hourly earnings edged up 1 cent in August 1973 to an average of $3. 91. Hourly earnings have risen by 25 cents since August 1972. Average weekly earnings were $147. 02 in August, up 38 cents from July and $9. 40 from a year ago. Hourly E^rnjjngg Index The Bureau' s Hourly Earnings Index, adjusted for inter-industry shifts, overtime hours in manufacturing, and seasonality, was 147. 5 (1967=100) in August, 0. 4 percent higher than in July, according to preliminary figures. above August a year ago. The index was 6. 5 percent A ll industries recorded gains over the year, ranging from 5. 5 percent in finance, insurance, and real estate to 8. 9 percent in transportation and public utilities. During the 12-month period ending in July, the Hourly Earnings Index in dollars of constant purchasing power rose 0. 7 percent. This release presents and analyzes statistics from two major surveys. Data on labor force, total employment, and unemployment are derived from the sample sur vey of households conducted and tabulated by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Statistics on payroll employment, hours, and earnings are collected by State agencies from payroll records of employers and are tabulated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A description of the two surveys appears in the BLS publication Employment and Earnings.
