THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION:

JULY 1996

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in July, and the unemployment rate
was essentially unchanged at 5.4 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The number of payroll jobs
rose by 193,000 over the month, led by a gain in the retail trade industry.
Average hourly earnings declined 2 cents in July, following a sharp rise in
the prior month.
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
The number of unemployed persons totaled 7.3 million in July, and the
unemployment rate was 5.4 percent. July jobless rates for the major worker
groups--adult men (4.7 percent), adult women (4.9 percent), teenagers (16.4
percent), whites (4.7 percent), blacks (10.5 percent), and Hispanics (9.0
percent)--showed little change from the prior month. (See tables A-1 and A2.)
Both the number of persons unemployed for less than 5 weeks and the
number of unemployed new entrants (persons with no work experience who had
been out of the labor force prior to beginning their job search) rose in
July. (See tables A-5 and A-6.)
Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
Total employment, at 126.9 million, continued to trend upward in July,
and has risen by 1.9 million so far in 1996. In contrast, it grew by only
about 400,000 during all of 1995. The proportion of the population 16
years and over with jobs (the employment-population ratio) was unchanged
over the month at 63.2 percent. (See table A-1.)
The number of persons who held two or more jobs was 7.6 million (not
seasonally adjusted) in July. These multiple jobholders made up 5.9
percent of all employed persons. (See table A-9.)
The civilian labor force increased by 512,000 in July to 134.2 million,
seasonally adjusted. Labor force growth has totaled 1.8 million thus far
in 1996, about three times the level of growth for all of 1995. Reflecting
this stronger labor force growth, the labor force participation rate was
66.9 percent in July, 0.6 percentage point higher than the rate at the end
of 1995. (See table A-1.)

- 3 Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
About 1.5 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally
attached to the labor force in July--that is, they wanted and were
available for work but had stopped looking for jobs sometime in the prior
12 months. Of this total, those who were no longer looking specifically
because they believed that no jobs were available for them--discouraged
workers--numbered 423,000. (See table A-9.)
Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 193,000 in July to 119.7 million,
after seasonal adjustment. July's increase was somewhat below the average
monthly gain in the second quarter (273,000). Retail trade employment
continued its robust growth trend of recent months; the construction and
finance industries experienced strong gains as well. Manufacturing
employment declined over the month. (See table B-1.)
Employment in retail trade rose by 89,000 in July, marking the fourth
consecutive month of very large gains. Almost half of the July increase
was in eating and drinking places, which has added 79,000 jobs in the past
2 months. Food stores, auto dealers and service stations, and furniture
and home furnishings stores also experienced substantial growth in July.
Wholesale trade continued to show modest growth (12,000), mostly in the
nondurable goods distribution component.
Construction employment increased by 25,000 in July; the industry has
added 208,000 jobs since the beginning of 1996. Strong job growth among
contractors in special trades, such as carpentry and electrical work,
continued over the month. Within finance, insurance, and real estate, job
gains were widespread in finance, while employment in real estate continued
its pace of moderate growth.
Job growth in services was uncharacteristically sluggish in July. This
weakness reflected declines in social services, hotels, educational
services, hospitals, and home health care services. Business services
employment increased by 35,000, over half of which was in the help supply
component.
Employment in transportation and public utilities was about unchanged in
July; growth in communications, air transportation, and local transit
slightly offset declines in trucking and public utilities. Government
employment grew moderately in July. At both the state and local level,
employment rose in education, after seasonal adjustment, but these
increases were partly offset by declines in the noneducation components.
Federal government employment continued to trend downward.
Manufacturing employment fell by 20,000 in July, with small losses
spread among both the durable and nondurable goods industries. Within
durable goods, the largest decline was in primary metals. Fabricated
metals and aircraft and parts, by contrast, posted strong gains.
Employment in electronic equipment, which had shown little movement in the
past 4 months, rose in July. Within nondurable goods, nearly all major
industry groups experienced small declines over the month. Employment in
nondurables has fallen by 321,000 over the past 19 months, half of which
was in textiles and apparel.

- 4 Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private
nonfarm payrolls fell by 0.4 hour in July to 34.3 hours, seasonally
adjusted. This decline nearly reversed June's large increase. The
manufacturing workweek declined by 0.3 hour to 41.6 hours, and factory
overtime edged down by 0.2 hour to 4.4 hours. Both measures had
experienced substantial gains during the first half of the year. (See
table B-2.)
The workweek decline caused the index of aggregate weekly hours of
private production or nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls to decline
by 1.2 percent, on a seasonally adjusted basis, to 136.1 (1982=100) in
July. The manufacturing index edged down by 0.7 percent to 105.9. (See
table B-5.)
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory workers
declined 2 cents in July to $11.80, seasonally adjusted, following a gain
of 9 cents in the previous month. Average weekly earnings decreased by 1.3
percent to $404.74. Over the past year, average hourly earnings increased
by 2.9 percent and average weekly earnings rose by 2.3 percent. (See table
B-3.)

1/ Not available.
NOTE: This range of alternative measures of labor underutilization replaces the U1-U7
range published in table A-7 of this release prior to 1994. Marginally attached workers
are persons who currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that they
want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the recent past.
Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related
reason for not currently looking for a job. Persons employed part time for economic
reasons are those who want and are available for full-time work but have had to settle
for a part-time schedule. For further information, see "BLS introduces new range of
alternative unemployment measures," in the October 1995 issue of the Monthly Labor
Review.

1/ This series is not suitable for seasonal adjustment
because it has very little seasonal and irregular movement.
Thus, the not seasonally adjusted series can be used for
analysis of cyclical and long-term trends.
2/ Includes other industries, not shown separately.
3/ This series is not published seasonally adjusted because

the seasonal component, which is small relative to the
trend-cycle and irregular components, cannot be
separated with sufficient precision.

1/ Data relate to production workers in mining and
manufacturing; construction workers in construction;
and nonsupervisory workers in transportation and public
utilities; wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance,
and real estate; and services. These groups account
for approximately four-fifths of the total employees on
private nonfarm payrolls.
2/ These series are not published seasonally

adjusted because the seasonal component, which is
small relative to the trend-cycle and irregular
components, cannot be separated with sufficient
precision.

NOTE: Figures are the percent of industries with
