TilE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: JANUARY 1995
Unemployment rose in January and nonfarm payroll job growth slowed, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. After declining markedly during 1994, the
nation's jobless rate rose by 0.3 percentage point to 5. 7 percent.
The number of nonfarm payroll jobs (as measured by the survey of employers) increased by 134,000
in January, after having risen by nearly 750,000 in the prior 2 months. Total employment (as measured
by the survey of households) was little changed over the month.

Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
The number of unemployed persons increased by 343,000 to 7.5 million in January, and the
unemployment rate rose by 0.3 percentage point to 5.7 percent, after seasonal adjustment.
Unemployment had been on a downward trend in 1994~ the level had declined by 1.6 million, and the
jobless rate had fallen by 1.3 percentage points, from 6.7 percent in January to 5.4 percent in December.
(See table A-1.)
Among the major worker groups, adult men accounted for much of the January increase in
unemployment~ their jobless rate was up by 0.3 percentage point over the month to 5.0 percent. The rate

for adult women (4.9 percent) rose slightly, while that for teenagers (16.7 percent) was little changed
from the prior month. The rate for Hispanics rose to 10.2 percent in January, equaling that for blacks for
the first time (Hispanic data first became available in 1973). The rate for whites, at 4.9 percent, changed
little from the December figure. (See tables A-1 and A-2.)
The rise in joblessness reflected primarily an increase in the number of newly unemployed persons
(less than 5 weeks duration). Their number rose by 350,000 over the month to 2.9 million. There also
was an increase in the number of unemployed persons on temporary layoff-those expecting to be
recalled to their jobs. At 1.1 million in January, the number of such workers was up by 131,000 from
the prior month. (See tables A-5 and A-6.)
The number of persons working part time for economi~ reasons-sometimes referred to as the
partially unemployed-increased by 271,000 over the month to 4.7 million. (See table A-3.)
Total Employment and the Labor Force CHousehold Survey Data)
The number of employed persons was about unchanged over the month, at 124.6 million (seasonally
adjusted). That measure had increased substantially during the last half of 1994. The employmentpopulation ratio-the proportion of the working-age population with jobs-was 63.0 percent for the
third consecutive month. (See table A-1.) A total of7.2 million workers (not seasonally adjusted), or
5.8 percent of all employed persons, held two or more jobs in January (table A-8).
At 132.1 million, the number of persons in the labor force rose by 411,000 over the month. The
labor force participation rate was up by 0.2 percentage point to 66.8 percent. Compared with a year ago,
.1e labor force has risen by 1.5 million. (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 for jobs after having searched sometime in the
past 12 months-was 1.8 million (not seasonally adjusted) in January. Of that number, those who were
not looking because they believed their prospects for finding jobs were poor--discouraged workerstotaled 440,000. (See table A-8.)
lndustzy Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 134,000 in January. seasonally adjusted, following
generally larger gains throughout 1994. Manufacturing continued to add jobs at a brisk pace, but job
growth in services and retail trade was considerably slower than in recent months. (See table B-1.)
Manufacturing employment continued its upward trend in January with a seasonally adjusted
increase of 39,000. Gains were concentrated in motor ve~cles, fabricated metals, industrial machinery,
and rubber and plastics. These industries, along with electronic equipment, have accounted for the bulk
of the manufacturing job growth in the past several months. The large increase in automobile jobs
( 16,000) reflected continued production in factories that typically shut down at the beginning of the year
to adjust inventories. Employment growth of 27,000 in the construction industry in January was boosted
'"'v relatively mild temperatures across the nation.
4
Services employment increased by 53,000 in January, the smallest monthly gain in nearly 2 years.
Business services had its smallest rise since last spring, despite another gain in its personnel supply
component. Health services, where growth has been limited by the drive for cost containment, also had
relatively weak growth for the month. Weather-related job declines occurred in amusement and
recreation services, where the lack of snow affected the ski industry, and in agricultural services, which
suffered from the flooding in California. On the positive side, there was continued strength in social
services, engineering and management services, auto repair, and motion pictures.
Retail trade employment was virtually unchanged in January, following substantial gains in the prior
4 months. Sizable declines in general merchandise stores and eating and drinking places in January
partially countered large increases experienced by these industries at the end of 1994. Jobs in the
transportation and public utilities industry rose by 15,000 in January, as growth continued in trucking
and warehousing. Wholesale trade employment increased by 16,000, continuing its pace of job growth
set over the past year. In contrast, government employment decreased by 32,000 over the month. Most
of this drop was in Federal employment, reflecting continued downsizing, as well as the dismissal of a
large number of workers from the Postal Service who had been hired for the holiday season.
Weekly Hours <Establishment Survey Data)
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls
increased by 0.3 hour in January to 34.9 hours, seasonally adjusted. The workweek for manufacturing
workers was unchanged over the month at 42.2 hours, while factory overtime edged up 0.1 hour to a new
high of 4.9 hours. The index of aggregate weekly hours of private production or nonsupervisory workers
on nonfarm payrolls increased 1.0 percent to 132.3 (1982=100). The manufacturing index rose by 0.3
percent to 107.5, as a result of the increase in employment. (See tables B-2 and B-5.)
Hourly and Weekly Earnings <Establisbment Survey Data)
Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory workers rose 7 cents in January to
$11.32, seasonally adjusted. Similar large increases last January and again in October were followed by
2 months of no (net) change. Average weekly earnings in January climbed 1.5 percent to $395.07. Over
the year, hourly earnings rose by 2.7 percent and weekly earnings by 3.0 percent. (See table B-3.)
The Employment Situation for February 1995 will be released on Friday. March 10. at 8:30A.M.
(EST).
Explanatory Note
This news release presents statistics from two major surveys, the
Current Population Survey (household survey) and the Current
EmploymentStatistics survey (establishment survey). The household
survey provides the information on the labor force, employment, and
unemployment that appears in the A tables, marked HOUSEHOLD
DATA It is a sample survey of about 60,p00 households conducted
by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau ofLabor Statistics (BLS ).
The establishment survey provides the information on the
employment, hours, and earnings of workers on nonfarm pa)Tolls that
appears in the B tables, marked ESTABLISHMENT DAtA This
information is collected from payroll records by BLS in cooperation
with State agencies. fuMarch 1993, thesampleincludedover390,000
establislunents employing over 47 million people.
For both surveys, the data for a given month relate to a particular
week or pay period. In the household survey, the reference week is
generally the calendar week that contains the 12th day of the month.
In the establislunent survey, the reference period is the pay period
including the 12th, which may or may not correspond directly to the
calendar week.
Coverage, definitions, and differences
between surveys
Household sun>ey. The sample is selected to reflect the entire
civilian noninstitutional population. Based on responses to a series of
questions on work and job search activities, each person 16 years and
over in a sample household is classified as employed, unemployed, or
not in the labor force.
People are classified as employed if they did any work at all as paid
employees during the reference week; worked in their own business,
profession, or on their own farm; or worked without pay at least 15
hours in a family business or farm. People are also counted as
employed if they were temporarily absent from their jobs because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management disputes, or personal
reasons.
People are classified as unemp/oyediftheymeet all of the following
criteria: They had no employment during the reference wee~ they
were available for work at that time; and they made specific efforts to
find employment sometime during the 4-week period ending with the
reference week. Persons laid otT from a job and expecting recall need
not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. The
unemployment data derived from the household survey in no way
depend upon the eligibility for or receipt of unemployment insurance
benefits.
Tite civilian laborforce is the sum of employed and unemployed
persons. Those not classified as employed or unemployed are not in
the laborforce. The unemployment rote is the number unemployed as
a percent of the labor force. The laborforce participation rate is the
labor force as a percent of the population, and the employmentpopulation ratio is the employed as a percent of the population.
Establishment sun>ey. The sample establishments are drawn
from private nonfarm businesses such as factories, offices, and stores,
as well as Federal, State, and l.ocal government entities. Employees on
nonfann payrolls are those who received pay for any part of the
reference pay period, including persons on paid leave. Persons are
counted in each job they hold. Hours and earnings data are for private
businesses and relate only to production workers in the goodsproducing sector and nonsupervisory workers in the service-producing
sector.
Differences in employment estimates. The numerous conceptual
and methodological differences between the household and
establislunent surveysresultin important distinctions in the employment
estimates derived from the surveys. Among these are:
• The household survey includes agricuhural workers, the self-employed,
unpaid tamily workers, and private household workers among the employed.
These groups are excluded from the establishment survey.
• The household survey includes people on unpaid leave among the
employed. The establishment survey does not.
• The household survey is limited to workers 16 years of age and older.
The estaiJlishment survey is not limited by age.
• The household survey has no duplication of individuals, because
individuals are counted only once, even ifthey hold more than one job. In the
establishment survey, employees working at more than one job and thus
appearing on more than one payroU would be counted separately for each
appearance.
Other differences between the two surveys are described in
"Comparing Employment Estimates. from Household and Payroll
Surveys," which may be obtained from BLS upon request.
Seasonal adjustment
Over .the course of a year, the size of the nation's labor force and the
levelsofernploymentandunemployrnentundergosharptluctuationsdue
to such seasonal events as changes in weather, reduced or expanded
production, harvests, major holidays, and the opening and closing of
schools. TheetTectofsuchseasonal variationcan be very large; seasonal
fluctuations may account for as much as 95 percent of the month-tomonth changes in unemployment.
Because these seasonal events follow a more or less regular pattern
each year, their influence on statistical trends can be eliminated by
adjusting the statistics from month to month. These adjustments make
nonseasonal developments, such as declines in economic activity or
increases in the participation of women in the labor force, easier to spot
For example, the large number ofyouth entering the labor force each June
is likely to obscure any other changes that have taken place relative to
May,makingitdifficulttodetennineifthelevelofeconomicactivityhas
risen or declined. However, because the effect of students finishing
school in previous years is known, the statistics for the cunent year can
. be adjusted to allow for a comparable change. Insofar as the seasonal
adjustment is made correctly, the adjusted flgure provides a more useful
tool with which to analyze changes in economic activity.
In both the household and establishment surveys, most seasonally
adjusted series are independently adjusted. However, the adjusted
series for many major estimates, such as total payroll emplo)ment,
employment in most major industry divisions, total employment, and
unemployment are computed by aggregating independently adjusted
component series. For example, total unemployment is derived by
summing the adjusted series for four major age-sex components; this
differs from the unemployment estimate that would be obtained by
directly adjusting the total or by combining the duration, reasons, or
more detailed age categories.
The numerical factors used to make the seasonal adjustments are
recalculated twice a year. For the household survey, the factors are
calculated for the January-June period and again for the July-December
period. For the establishment survey, updated factors for seasonal
adjustment are calculated for the May-October period and introduced
along with new benchmarks, and again for the November-April period.
In both surveys, revisions to historical data are made once a year.
Reliability of the estimates
Statistics based on the household and establishment surveys are
subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. When a sample rather
than the entire population is surveyed, there is a chance that the sample
estimates may differ from the "true" population values they represent.
The exact difference, or sampling error, varies depending on the
particular sample selected, and this variability is measured by the
standard error of the estimate. There is about a 90-percent chance, or
level of confidence, that an estimate based on a sample will differ by
no more than 1.6 standard errors from the "true" population value
because of sampling error. BLS analyses are generally conducted at
the 90-percent level of confidence.
For example, the confidence interval for the monthly change in total
employment from the household survey is on the order of plus or minus
359,000. Suppose the estimate of total employment increases by
100,000 from one month to the next. The 90-percent confidence
interval on the monthly change would range from -259,000 to459,000
(100,000 +1- 359,000). These figures do not mean that the sample
results are off by these magnitudes, but rather that there is about a 90percent chance that the "true" over-the-month change lies within this
interval. Since this range includes values of less than zero, we could
not say with confidence that employment had, in fact, increased. If,
however, the reported employment rise was half a million, then all of
the values within the 90-percent confidence interval would be greater
than zero. In this case, it is likely (at least a 90-percent chance) that
an employment rise had, in fact, occurred. The 90-percent confidence
interval for the monthly change in unemployment is+/- 256,000, and
for the monthly change in the unemployment rate it is +1- .22
percentage point.
In general, estimates involving many individuals or establishments
have lower standard errors (relative to the size of the estimate) than
estimates which are based on a small number of observations. The
precision of estimates is also improved when the data are cumulated
over time such as for quarterly and annual averages. The seasonal
adjustment process can also improve the stability of the monthly
estimates.
The household and establishment surveys are also affected by
nonsampling error. Nonsampling errors can occur for many reasons,
including the failure to sample a segment of the population, inability
to obtain information for all respondents in the sample, inability or
unwillingness of respondents to provide correct information on a
timely basis, mistakes made by respondents, and errors made in the
collection or processing of the data.
For example, in the establishment survey, estimates for the most
recent 2 months are based on substantially incomplete returns; for this
reason, these estimates are labeled preliminary in the tables. It is only
after two successive revisions to a monthly estimate, when nearly all
sample reports have been received, that the estimate is considered
final.
Another major source of nonsampling error in the establishment
survey is the inability to capture, on a timely basis, employment
generated by new firms. To correct for this systematic underestimation
of employment growth (and other sources of error), a process known
as bias adjustment is included in the survey's estimating procedures,
whereby a specified number of jobs is added to the monthly samplebased change. The size of the monthly bias adjustment is based largely
on past relationships between the sample-based estimates
of employment and the total counts of employment described below.
The sample-based estimates from the establishment survey are
adjusted once a year (on a lagged basis) to universe counts of payroll
employment obtained from administrative records of the unemployment
insurance program. The difference between the March sample-based
employment estimates and the March universe counts is known as a
benchmark revision, and serves as a rough proxy for total survey error.
The new benchmarks also incorporate changes in the classification of
industries. Over the past decade, the benchmark revision for total
nonfarm employment has averaged 0.2 percent, ranging from zero to
0.6 percent.
Additional statistics and other information
More comprehensive statistics are contained in Employment and
Earnings, published each month by BLS. It is available for $14.00 per

Employment and Earnings also provides measures of sampling
error for the household survey data published in this release. For
unemployment and other labor force categories, these measures appear
in tables 1-B through 1-H of its "Explanatory Notes." Measures of the
reliability of the data drawn from the establishment survey and the
actual amounts of revision due to benchmark adjustments are provided
in tables 2-B through 2-G of that publication.
