Department of Labor Washington, D.C. 20212 92-179 TRANSMISSION OP MATERIAL IN THIS RELEASE 18 EMBARGOED UNTIL 8:30 A.M. (EOT), FRIDAY, APRIL 3. 1992 THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: MARCH 1992 the labor market was little changed in March, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The nation's unemployment rate remained at 7.3 percent, although total employment, as measured by the survey of households, showed an increase over the month. The number of nonfarm jobs, as measured by the survey of employers, was essentially unchanged. Unemployment (Household Survey Data) The unemployment rate, 7.3 percent, and the number of unemployed persons, 9*2 million, ware both unchanged in March. The jobless rate remained 1.9 percentage points above the level in July of 1990. when the recession started. The level of unemployment rose by 2.5 million over this period. There were no significant changes in unemployment among the major demographic groups over the month. (See tables A-1 and A-2J The number of people unemployed for less than 5 weeks rose in March, but this increase was offset by a drop among those jobless from 5 to 14 weeks. The number unemployed for 6 months or longer, at 1.8 million, was up in excess of 1 million since the beginning of the recession. (See table A-5.) The number of persons working part time even though they would have preferred full-time work was unchanged in March at 6.5 million. Persons in this category, shown in table A-3 as working "part tine for economic reasons.** are often referred to as the "partially unemployed" or the "underemployed. " The total number of employed persons increased by 300,000 in March, tti 117.3 million. After trending downward from mid-1990 to the end of 1991. total employment has since grown by about 600,000. The population of working age has also continued to grow, however, so that the employmentpopulation ratio—the proportion of the working-age population that is employed (61.4 percent)—has risen only marginally in recent months.

The civilian labor force also grew by 900,000 in March to a level of 126.6 million, marking the fourth straight month of increases in this treasure. The number of teenagers in the labor force dropped by about 175*000 but substantial increases continued among adult man and women* Since November, about 1.2 million workers have been added to the labor force. In marked contrast, the labor force had grown by less than 700,000 between July 1990 and November 1991. The labor force participation rate— the proportion of the working-age population that is either employed or seeking employment—continued to edge up and, at 66.3 percent, was half a percentage point higher than in November. (See table A-1.) Discouraged Workers (Household Survey Data) The number of discouraged workers—persons who want jobs but are not looking because they feel that their search would be fruitless—was about unchanged in the first quarter of 1992 at 1.1 million workers. Although this total is about 260,000 higher than at the beginning of the recession, it has been at approximately the sane level for 3 consecutive quarters. During the 1981-82 recession, the number of discouraged workers rose by a much greater amount—about 700,000. (See table A-11.) Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data) Total nonfarm payroll employment was virtually unchanged in March, after seasonal adjustment, following essentially offsetting movements in January and February. (See table B-1.) At 18.2 million, the number of factory jobs was about unchanged for the second consecutive month, following a 5-month string of job losses. March was characterized by generally small changes among the component industries, the largest being a 6,000 pickup in the auto industry. Employment in this industry has rebounded by 73,000 from its March 1991 low point but remains 83,000 below the pre-recession high. Elsewhere in the goods-producing sector, construction employment edged up very slightly in March, after seasonal adjustment. Biploymont levels in the industry seem to have stabilized in recent months, after declining sharply since the spring of 1990. Mining employment, on the other hand, has continued to experience losses; it is now 8 percent lower than when the recession began. Employment in the service-producing sector was about unchanged in March, as offsetting movements occurred within some of the component industries. Retail trade employment edged down after seasonal adjustment, following a very large February increase; most of the job losses occurred in eating and drinking places. Employment declines continued in wholesale trade in March, with most of the losses occurring in nondurable goods distribution. The number of jobs in the services industry was little changed in March, even though employment in the health services component continued to show growth. Ctovernmant employment rose by 39,000 in March, largely because local governments hired temporary workers to help with elections. - 4Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data) The average workweek for production or nonaupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls held steady at 34.6 hours in March, following an increase of 0.4 hour in February. Both the average factory workweek and the overtime component were unchanged at 41.1 hours and 3.7 hours, respectively, in March. (See table B-2.) The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory workers was down by 0.2 percent to 122.1 (1982*100) in March, seasonally adjusted, and the index for manufacturing was unchanged. Both indexes had large gains in the previous month. (See table B-5.) Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data) Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory workers were up 0.4 percent in March to $10.55, seasonally adjusted. Average weekly earnings also increased by 0.4 percent to $365.03. Before seasonal adjustment, average hourly earnings rose by 3 cents to $10.56, and average weekly earnings increased by $2.08 to $362.21. Over the past year, average hourly earnings increased by 3.1 percent and average weekly earnings rose by 4.0 percent. (See table B-3.) The Employment Situation for April 1992 will be released on Friday, May 8, 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 60,00Q households that is conducted by the Bureau of the Census with most of the findings analyzed and published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The establishment survey provides the information on the employment, hours, and earnings of workers on nonfaim 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 over 350,000 establishments employing over 41 million people. For both surveys, the data for a given month are actually collected for and relate to a particular week. In the household survey, unless otherwise indicated, it is the calendar week that contains the 12th day of the month, which is called the survey week. In the establishment survey, the reference week is the pay period including the 12th, which may or may not correspond directly to the calendar week. The data in this release are affected by a number of technical factors* including definitions, survey differences, seasonal adjustments, and the inevitable variance in results between a survey of a sample and a census of the entire population. Each of these factors is explained below. Coverage, definitions, and differences between surveys The sample households in the household survey are selected so as to reflect the entire civilian ncninstituu'onal population 16 yean of age and older. Each person in a household is classified as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Those who hold more than one job are classified according to the job at which they worked the most hours. People are classified as employed if they did any work at all as paid employees; worked in their own business or profession or on their own farm; or worked IS hours or more in an enterprise operated by a member of their family, whether they were paid or not. People are also counted as employed if they were on unpaid leave because of illness, bad weather, labor-management disputes, or personal reasons. People are classified as unemployed, regardless of their eligibility for unemployment benefits or public assistance, if they meet all of the following criteria: TTiey had no employment during the survey week; they were available for work at that time; and they made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the prior 4 weeks. Persons laid off from their former jobs and awaiting recall and those expecting to report to a job within 30 days need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. Hie civilian labor force equals the sum of the number employed and the number unemployed The unemployment rate is the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. Table A-7 presents a special grouping of seven measures of unemployment based on varying definitions of unemployment and the labor force, The definitions are provided in the table. The most restrictive definition yields U-l and the most comprehensive yields U-7. The civilian worker unemployment rate is U-5b, while U-Sa, the overall unemployment rate, includes the resident Armed Forces in the labor force base. Unlike the household survey, the establishment survey only counts wage and salary employees whose names appear on the payroll records of nonfarm firms. As a result there are many differences between the two surveys, among which are the following: • Use house! • TheL employed;! y include* people on unptid leave among the t survey does not; .ABatiS^^ leyemoftgeind older, the . • Jhe household survey has no .duplication of .individuals, because each individual is counted only once; m the esttbushment survey, employees Other differences between the two surveys are described in "Comparing Employment Estimates from Household and Payroll Surveys," which may be obtained from BLS upon request. 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. For example, the labor force increases by a large number each June, when schools close and many young people enter the job market. The effect of such seasonal variation can be very large; over the course of a year, for example, seasonality may account for as much as 95 percent of the month-to-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 To return to the school*s-out example, the large number of people entering the labor force each June is likely to obscure any other changes that have taken place since 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. Measures of labor force, employment, and unemployment contain components such as age and sex. Statistics for all employees, production workers, average weekly hours, and average hourly earnings include components based on the employer's industry. All these statistics can be seasonally adjusted either by adjusting the total or by adjusting each of the components and combining them. The second procedure usually yields more accurate information and is therefore followed by BLS. For example, the seasonally adjusted figure for the civilian labor force is the sum of eight seasonally adjusted employment components and four seasonally adjusted unemployment components; the total for unemployment is the sum of the four unemployment components; and the unemployment rate is derived by dividing the resulting estimate of total unemployment by the estimate of the civilian labor force. The numerical factors used to make the seasonal adjustments are recalculated twice a year. For the household survey, the factors are calculated for the January-June period and again for the JulyDecember period. For the establishment survey, updated factors for seasonal adjustment are calculated for the May-October period and introduced along with new benchmarks, and again for the November-April period In both surveys, revisions to historical data are made once a year. are approximately 90 out of 100 that the "true" level or rate would not be expected to differ from the estimates by more man these amounts. Sampling errors for monthly surveys are reduced when the data are cumulated for several months, such as quarterly or annually. Also, as a general rule, the smaller the estimate, the larger the sampling error. Therefore, relatively speaking, the estimate of the size of the labor force is subject to less error than is the estimate of the number unemployed. And, among the unemployed, the sampling error for the jobless rate of adult men, for example, is much smaller than is the error for the jobless rate of teenagers. Specifically, the error on monthly change in the jobless rate for men is .25 percentage point; for teenagers, it is 1.29 percentage points. In the establishment survey, estimates for the most current 2 months are based on incomplete returns; for this reason, these estimates are labeled preliminary in the tables. When all the returns in the sample have been received, the estimates are revised. In other words, data for the month of September are published in preliminary form in October and November and in final form in December. To remove errors that build up over time; a comprehensive count of the employed is conducted each year. The results of mis survey are used to establish new benchmarkscomprehensive counts of employment-against which month-tomonth changes can be measured. The new benchmarks also incorporate changes in the classification of industries and allow for the formation of new establishments. Sampling variability Additional statistics and other Information Statistics based on the household and establishment surveys are subject to sampling error, that is, the estimate of the number of people employed and the other estimates drawn from these surveys probably differ from the figures that would be obtained from a complete census, even if the same questionnaires and procedures were used. .In the household survey, the amount of the differences can be expressed in terms of standard errors. The numerical value of a standard error depends upon the size of the sample, the results of the survey, and other factors. However, the numerical value is always such that the chances are approximately 68 out of 100 that an estimate based on the sample will differ by no more than the standard error from the results of a complete census. The chances are approximately 90 out of 100 that an estimate based on the sample will differ by no more man 1.6 times the standard error from the results of a complete census. At approximately the 90percent level of confidence—the confidence limits used by BLS in its analyses--the error for the monthly change in total employment is on the order of plus or minus 358,000; for total unemployment it is 224,000; and, for the civilian worker unemployment rate, it is 0.19 percentage points. These figures do not mean that the sample results are off by these magnitudes but, rather, that the chances In order to provide a broad view of the nation's employment situation, BLS regularly publishes a wide variety of data in this news release. More comprehensive statistics are contained in Employment and Earnings, published each month by BLS. It is available for $10.00 per issue or $31.00 per year from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20204. A check or money order made out to the Superintendent of Documents must accompany all orders. Employment and Earnings also provides approximations of the standard errors for the household survey data published in mis release. For unemployment and other labor force categories, the standard errors appear in tables B through J of its "Explanatory Notes.** Measures of the reliability of the data drawn from the establishment survey and the actual amounts of revision due to benchmark adjustments are provided in tables M, O, P, and Q of that publication.
