from USDL - 8383 FOR R ELEASE: 11:30 A. M, Tuesday, August 8, 1967 U. S, Department of Labor BLS, 961-2634 THE E M P L O Y M E N T SITUATION: JU LY 1967 Employment increased more than usual in July, while unemployment showed about the expected June-to-July drop, the U. S. Department of Labor* s Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The total unemployment rate, at 3. 9 percent, was practically unchanged from a month e arlier or from the July 1966 rate. Employment, which had declined e arlier in 1967, has recovered steadily in the last 2 months, more than regaining the e a rlie r losses. Nonfarm payroll employment (seasonally adjusted) rose by 200,000 in July, following an increase of 250, 000 in June. Total employment (from the household survey) has also moved up strongly in the last 2 months. The Summer Youth Situation A total of 12. 5 million 16 to 21 year-olds were working or seeking work in the summer of 1967 (June-July a v e ra g e ). This was an over-th e-year rise of 500, 000 and an increase of 1.9 million from the 1964 summer level. Population expansion in this age group (the youngsters born in the years following World W ar II) accounts for a large part of the 1964-67 labor force growth. At the same time, there has been a steady rise in youth labor force participation ra te s--fro m 60.7 percent of the civilian population in June and July 1964 to 65. 1 percent in the summer of 1967. Since the summer of 1964, participation rates have moved up strongly for both white and nonwhite (mainly N egro) youth.
