(EST), January 6, 1995. DECEMBER 1994 The nation's job market improved further in December, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The unemployment rate continued its downward trend, reaching 5.4 percent in December; it has declined by 1.3 percentage points since January 1994. The employer survey showed an increase of 256,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in December; this followed a gain of 488,000 (as revised) in November. Total employment--as measured by the household survey--continued to trend upward. Both surveys recorded large employment gains in 1994. For example, over-the-year growth in the payroll job count was the largest in a decade. Unemployment (Household Survey Data) Both the number of persons unemployed (7.2 million in December) and the unemployment rate (5.4 percent) continued to trend downward. About 1.6 million fewer persons were unemployed in December than in January 1994. Unemployment rates for both adult women and men each fell slightly in December to 4.7 percent, while the rate for teenagers edged up to 17.2 percent. The jobless rate for blacks (9.8 percent) inched down from the prior month; the rate for whites (4.8 percent) was the same as in November, while that for Hispanics (9.2 percent) was little changed over the month. Jobless rates for all of these major labor force groups have declined since January 1994. (See tables A-1 and A-2.) ---------------------------------------------------------------| This release incorporates annual revisions in seasonally | |adjusted unemployment and other labor force series derived from | |the household survey. Information on the revisions appears on | |page 5. | | Data from the household survey for 1994 are not directly | |comparable with data for 1993 and earlier years because of the | |implementation in January 1994 of a major redesign of the survey| |and the introduction of 1990 census-based population controls, | |adjusted for the estimated undercount in the decennial census. | |In addition, the 1994 data may have been affected by the | |transition to the redesigned survey. For example, seasonal | |factors, of necessity, were computed based largely on data | |collected in the survey prior to its revision, and these factors| |may not fully capture the pattern of seasonality in current | |data. Hence, over-the-month comparisons of labor force | |estimates should be made with caution. For additional | |information on the redesign, see "Revisions in the Current | |Population Survey Effective January 1994" in the February 1994 | |issue of Employment and Earnings. | ---------------------------------------------------------------- - 2 Table A.

NOTE: Household data for 1994 are not directly comparable with data for - 3 1993 and earlier years. For additional information, see "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective January 1994" in the February 1994 issue of Employment and Earnings. Seasonally adjusted data for 1994 have been revised. Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) At 124.6 million (seasonally adjusted) in December, the number of employed persons continued its upward trend. Total employment has increased by 2.7 million since the beginning of 1994. The employmentpopulation ratio--the proportion of the working-age population with jobs-remained at 63.0 percent in December, 0.8 percentage point higher than in January. (See tables A-1 and A-2.) The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (4.4 million) and the number of voluntary part-time workers (17.6 million) were little changed in December. (See table A-3.) A total of 7.5 million persons (not seasonally adjusted), or 6.0 percent of the total employed, held two or more jobs (table A-8). The number of persons in the civilian labor force, at 131.7 million, was about unchanged for the second straight month. This followed an increase of 1.1 million between June and October. The labor force had shown little movement during the first half of the year. (See table A-1.) Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) The number of persons with a marginal attachment to the labor force-those who wanted and were available for work, but were no longer actively looking after having searched sometime in the past 12 months--was 1.8 million (not seasonally adjusted) in December. Of that total, the number who were not looking because they felt that there were no jobs available for them--discouraged workers--was 445,000. (See table A-8.) Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data) Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 256,000 in December, following a gain of 488,000 in November (as revised). The overall employment growth in November had been inflated by the hiring of large numbers of temporary election workers. Their absence from payrolls in December similarly depressed the job growth registered in that month. Large over-the-month increases occurred in the private sector, particularly in services, retail trade, and manufacturing. Nonfarm employment increased by 3.5 million during all of 1994. (See table B-1.) The services industry added 110,000 jobs in December. Half the gain was in business services, mostly in the personnel supply and computer services components. Smaller, but noteworthy, increases also occurred in health and social services. These two industries and business services have added large numbers of jobs throughout much of the year, as employment in the services industry as a whole rose by 1.6 million. Retail trade employment rose by 91,000 over the month, following a similar increase in November (96,000, as revised). Most of the December gain was in eating and drinking establishments, while smaller increases occurred in food stores, automotive dealers and service stations, and furniture stores. - 4 Manufacturing employment rose by 54,000 in December. This is the third large monthly increase in a row and represents an acceleration in the upward trend that began in September 1993. Since then, factory employment has risen by 301,000. Over the month, factory job growth was widespread, with the largest gains occurring in fabricated metals, electronic equipment, printing and publishing (including the return of striking workers), and rubber and miscellaneous plastics products. The strong growth trend in wholesale trade continued in December with an increase of 11,000. Employment in transportation and public utilities also rose in December (by 25,000), reflecting larger-than-usual hiring in the transportation industry to help with holiday travel and package delivery. Although construction employment failed to grow in December, 300,000 jobs were added in 1994, for the strongest showing in a decade. Employment decreased in government in December. A decline of 57,000 workers in local government except education, reflecting the dismissal of temporary election workers, more than offset increased hiring by the Postal Service. Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data) The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls held at 34.6 hours in December, seasonally adjusted. The manufacturing workweek, at 42.2 hours, also was unchanged over the month, while factory overtime hours edged up to 4.8 hours. Since last spring, both the factory workweek and overtime hours have been at or near post-World War II record highs. (See table B-2.) Reflecting the increase in payroll employment, the index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls was up by 0.3 percent in December to 131.1 (1982=100), seasonally adjusted. The index for manufacturing rose 0.7 percent to 107.6. (See table B-5.) Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data) Average hourly earnings for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose 3 cents in December to $11.26, seasonally adjusted. Average weekly earnings increased 0.3 percent to $389.60. Over the year, average hourly earnings rose by 2.8 percent, while average weekly earnings increased 3.0 percent. (See table B-3.) _________________________ The Employment Situation for January 1995 will be released on Friday, February 3, at 8:30 A.M. (EST). - 5 Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Household Survey Data At the end of each calendar year, BLS routinely updates the seasonal adjustment factors for the labor force series derived from the Current Population Survey (the CPS, also referred to as the "household survey") to incorporate the experience of that year. Because of the changes introduced into the CPS at the beginning of 1994, only seasonally adjusted data for that year have been revised. Normally, data for the most recent 5 years are subject to revision. (Seasonally adjusted establishment data will be revised in June, concurrently with the introduction of annual benchmark adjustments.) Table B summarizes the effects of the revisions on the monthly overall unemployment rates in 1994. Rates for 6 months were revised, each by 0.1 percentage point. Revised seasonally adjusted data for major labor force series for January through December 1994 are presented in table C. The January 1995 issue of Employment and Earnings will contain the seasonal adjustment factors that will be used to calculate the civilian labor force and other major series for the January-June period of 1995. The publication also will contain a description of the current seasonal adjustment methodology and revised data for the 12 months and 4 quarters of 1994 for all regularly published tables containing seasonally adjusted household survey data. Microcomputer diskettes of historical seasonally adjusted data (monthly and quarterly) may be purchased from BLS; contact Gloria P. Green on 202-606-6373. Table B.
