THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: JUNE 2005
Nonfarm employment increased by 146,000 in June, and the unemployment rate continued to trend
down, reaching 5.0 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported
today. Over the month, payroll employment continued to grow in several industries, notably professional
and business services and health care.

Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
The jobless rate in June was 5.0 percent, seasonally adjusted. It has trended downward since February
2005 and is now 1.3 percentage points lower than its most recent high in June 2003. The number of unemployed persons was little changed over the month at 7.5 million, but is down by 1.7 million since June 2003.
The jobless rates for most major worker groups—adult men (4.3 percent), adult women (4.6 percent),
whites (4.3 percent), blacks (10.3 percent), and Hispanics or Latinos (5.8 percent)—showed little or no
change in June. The unemployment rate for teenagers edged down to 16.4 percent over the month. The
unemployment rate for Asians was 4.0 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
The number of long-term unemployed persons—those unemployed 27 weeks or longer—fell to 1.3 million in June. This group accounted for 17.8 percent of total unemployment, down from 20.1 percent in May.

Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
In June, total employment (141.6 million) and the civilian labor force (149.1 million) were essentially unchanged. The employment-population ratio held at 62.7 percent, and the labor force participation rate was
little changed over the month at 66.0 percent. (See table A-1.)
Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
In June, 1.6 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, compared with 1.5 million a year
earlier. These individuals wanted and were available to work and had looked for a job sometime in the prior
12 months. They were not counted as unemployed, however, because they did not actively search for work
in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. There were 476,000 discouraged workers in June, essentially the same
as a year earlier. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, were not currently looking for
work specifically because they believed no jobs were available for them. The other 1.1 million marginally
attached had not searched for work for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities. (See
table A-13.)
Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
Total nonfarm employment rose by 146,000 in June to 133.5 million, seasonally adjusted. This followed
job gains of 292,000 in April and 104,000 in May (as revised). Over the month, professional and business
services and health care added jobs, and manufacturing employment declined. (See table B-1.)
Professional and business services employment grew by 56,000 in June, following little change in May.
This industry has gained nearly a half million jobs over the year. Within the industry, architectural and engineering services employment rose by 9,000 in June. Temporary help services employment was little changed;
job growth in the industry has slowed since last October.
Health care employment continued to grow in June, rising by 25,000. Over the year, the health care
industry has added 249,000 jobs. In June, job growth was concentrated in hospitals (12,000) and ambulatory health care services (11,000).
Among other service-providing industries, financial activities employment edged up over the month, as
credit intermediation and real estate showed continued strength. Employment in food services edged up in
June after showing little change in May. Employment in child day care services rose by 8,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis in June, as layoffs were lighter than usual. Employment in warehousing and storage
rose by 6,000. Air transportation continued to lose jobs, declining by 3,000 over the month.
In June, manufacturing employment fell by 24,000. Motor vehicles and parts lost 18,000 jobs over the
month. Job losses in nondurable goods manufacturing were small but widespread, totaling 12,000. These
declines were partially offset by a gain of 7,000 in computer and electronic products. Elsewhere in the
goods-producing sector, both mining and construction employment continued to trend up over the month.
Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls was
unchanged at 33.7 hours in June, seasonally adjusted. The manufacturing workweek, at 40.4 hours, and
manufacturing overtime, at 4.4 hours, also were unchanged. (See table B-2.)

4

The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm
payrolls increased by 0.2 percent in June to 102.5 (2002=100). The manufacturing index was down by
0.2 percent over the month to 93.4. (See table B-5.)
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose by
3 cents in June to $16.06, seasonally adjusted. Average weekly earnings increased by 0.2 percent over the
month to $541.22. Over the year, average hourly and weekly earnings grew by 2.7 and 3.0 percent, respectively. (See table B-3.)

The Employment Situation for July 2005 is scheduled to be released on Friday, August 5,
at 8:30 A.M. (EDT).

Explanatory Note
This news release presents statistics from two major surveys, the
Current Population Survey (household survey) and the Current
Employment Statistics 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 60,000 households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS).
The establishment survey provides the information on the
employment, hours, and earnings of workers on nonfarm payrolls that
appears in the B tables, marked ESTABLISHMENT DATA. This
information is collected from payroll records by BLS in cooperation
with state agencies. The sample includes about 160,000 businesses
and government agencies covering approximately 400,000 individual
worksites. The active sample includes about one-third of all nonfarm
payroll workers. The sample is drawn from a sampling frame of
unemployment insurance tax accounts.
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 establishment 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 survey. 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 unemployed if they meet all of the following
criteria: They had no employment during the reference week; 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 off 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.
The civilian labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed
persons. Those not classified as employed or unemployed are not
in the labor force. The unemployment rate is the number unemployed
as a percent of the labor force. The labor force 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 survey. The sample establishments are drawn
from private nonfarm businesses such as factories, offices, and stores,
as well as federal, state, and local government entities. Employees on
nonfarm 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 goods-producing
sector and nonsupervisory workers in the service-providing sector.
Industries are classified on the basis of their principal activity in
accordance with the 2002 version of the North American Industry
Classification System.
Differences in employment estimates. The numerous conceptual and methodological differences between the household and
establishment surveys result in important distinctions in the employment estimates derived from the surveys. Among these are:
• The household survey includes agricultural workers, the self-employed, unpaid family 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 establishment survey is not limited by age.
• The household survey has no duplication of individuals, because
individuals are counted only once, even if they hold more than one job.
In the establishment survey, employees working at more than one job
and thus appearing on more than one payroll would be counted separately for each appearance.

Seasonal adjustment
Over the course of a year, the size of the nation’s labor force and the
levels of employment and unemployment undergo sharp fluctuations
due to such seasonal events as changes in weather, reduced or expanded
production, harvests, major holidays, and the opening and closing of
schools. The effect of such seasonal variation can be very large; seasonal fluctuations may account for as much as 95 percent of the monthto-month 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 of youth entering the labor force
each June is likely to obscure any other changes that have taken place
relative to May, making it difficult to determine if the level of economic activity has risen or declined. However, because the effect of
students finishing school in previous years is known, the statistics
for the current year can be adjusted to allow for a comparable change.
Insofar as the seasonal adjustment is made correctly, the adjusted figure provides a more useful tool with which to analyze changes in
economic activity.
Most seasonally adjusted series are independently adjusted in both
the household and establishment surveys. However, the ad-

justed series for many major estimates, such as total payroll employment, employment in most supersectors, 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.
For both the household and establishment surveys, a concurrent
seasonal adjustment methodology is used in which new seasonal
factors are calculated each month, using all relevant data, up to and
including the data for the current month. In the household survey, new
seasonal factors are used to adjust only the current month’s data. In
the establishment survey, however, new seasonal factors are used each
month to adjust the three most recent monthly estimates. 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 90percent 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 430,000. 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 -330,000 to 530,000
(100,000 +/- 430,000). These figures do not mean that the sample
results are off by these magnitudes, but rather that there is about a
90-percent 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. At an unemployment
rate of around 5.5 percent, the 90-percent confidence interval for the
monthly change in unemployment is about +/- 280,000, and for the
monthly change in the unemployment rate it is about +/- .19 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 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, an estimation procedure with two components
is used to account for business births. The first component uses business
deaths to impute employment for business births. This is incorporated
into the sample-based link relative estimate procedure by simply not
reflecting sample units going out of business, but imputing to them the
same trend as the other firms in the sample. The second component is
an ARIMA time series model designed to estimate the residual net birth/
death employment not accounted for by the imputation. The historical
time series used to create and test the ARIMA model was derived from
the unemployment insurance universe micro-level database, and reflects
the actual residual net of births and deaths over the past five years.
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 samplebased 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
less than 0.05 percent to 0.5 percent.

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
