Most of the July pickup in employment Employment of adult men, which has increased steadily since February, rose slightly in July to an alltime high. Employment of adult women was not significantly changed in July, remaining 300, 000 below the peak level reached in January. Over the year, the civilian labor force has grown by 1. 2 million. Three- fifths of this rise occurred among adult men, primarily reflecting a substantial increase among 20-24 year-olds, many of them returning veterans. Teen agers accounted for one-third of the year-to-year gain in the labor force, while there was little labor force growth among adult women.
