Departm ent of L abor BLS, 961 - 2634 THE EM PLOYM ENT SITUATION: JUNE 1966 The Nation* s jo b situation in June was dom inated by the influx o f n early 2. 8 m illion teen agers into the la b or fo r c e . E m ploym ent of 14-19 y e a r -o ld s r o se by 2. 0 m illion (550, 000 m o re than season al) to a r e c o r d high of 8 .3 m illion . The greater-th an -season al em ploym ent pickup r e fle c te d both the late survey w eek (when m ost teen agers w ere out o f sch o o l) and the e ffe c tiv e n ess of the cam paign to provide sum m er jo b s fo r youth. At the sam e tim e, a r e c o r d number of teen agers entered the sum m er jo b m arket. As a resu lt, teenage unem ploym ent (about 1. 9 m illio n ) was roughly the sam e as in June of 1965. While the number of unem ployed teenagers showed the usual seasonal r is e , the substantial em ploym ent advance redu ced the jo b le s s rate fro m 130 4 percen t in May to 12. 3 percen t in June. On the other hand, the em ploym ent situation fo r adult w o rk e rs showed no im provem en t over the m onth, follow ing v e ry rapid gains in the JanuaryA p ril 1966 p eriod . Unemploym ent among adult m en ro se by about 100, 000 in June, although no change is expected at this tim e o f y e a r; their unem ploym ent rate m oved up fro m 2. 4 percen t in A p ril and May to 2. 6 percen t in June. The unem ploym ent rate fo r a ll civ ilia n w o rk e rs rem ained at 4 .0 p ercen t in June. W hile this rate was slightly above the 3. 7 -3 .8 p ercen t range r e co r d e d fr o m F ebru ary to A p ril, it was down sharply fr o m 4. 7 percen t in June 1965. The rate o f State in su red unem ploym ent, at 2.1 p ercen t, was a lso unchanged fr o m May to June, rem aining at the low est le v e l since the start o f the s e r ie s in January 1949# The Employment Situation Page 2 July 11, 1966 T otal em ploym ent r o s e by 2, 0 m illio n to a r e c o r d high of 75, 7 m illion in June0 The nonagricultural in du stries accounted fo r 101 m illio n o f the o v e r the-m onth gain, while fa rm em ploym ent r o se by 900, 000, Both in cr e a s e s exceed ed seasonal expectations,, The number of em p loyees on,nonfarm p a y rolls in cre a se d by about 10 0 m illion to alm ost 64„ 0 m illion in June0 A fter seasonal adjustm ent, the gain -was approxim ately 325,000 and w as concentrated in m anufacturing, con stru ction , nd State and lo c a l government® Since June 1965, p a yroll em ploym ent has dvanced by 3. 1 m illion,, M anufacturing em ploym ent, which topped the 19 m illion m ark in June, has r is e n by 1„ 1 m illio n in the past y e a r.

A fter seasonal adjustm ent, unem ploym ent averaged 3 ,0 m illio n in the second quarter of 1966, up slightly fr o m 2. 9 m illio n in the fir s t q u arter.

The slight in cr e a s e s in the rate and le v e l o f unem ploym ent in the second quarter w ere attributable en tirely to w om en and te e n a g e rs. The teenage jo b le s s rate edged up fro m 11, 6 to 12, 5 percen t between the fir s t and second q u a rters.

F o r m en 25 y e a rs of age and o v e r , the rate d e c r e a s e d fro m 2, 4 to 2, 2 percen t, reaching its low est le v e l in a lm ost 13 y e a r s . The rate fo r m a rrie d m en edged down fro m 1,9 percen t in Ja n u a ry-M arch 1966 to 1. 8 p ercen t in the secon d qu arter. The unem ploym ent rate fo r nonwhites averaged 7, 5 p ercen t in the second qu arter, com p ared to 7,1 p ercen t in the fir s t 3 m onths o f 1966, The white rate m oved fr o m 3, 4 to 3, 5 percen t between the fir s t and second q u a rte rs. The nonwhite unem ploym ent rate has fa llen sharply but unevenly sin ce late 1963, while the white rate had m oved down steadily. Throughout this p e rio d , the ratio of the nonwhite to white unem ploym ent rate fluctuated around 2:1, The Employment Situation Page 3 July 11, 1966 A ll o f the M ay-to-J u n e r is e in unem ploym ent took place among p erson s jo b le s s le s s than 5 weeks (m ainly te e n a g e r s ).
