(EDT), FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1992 TOE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: MAY 1992 Lfrvenployment rose in May, as the labor force continued its rapid expansion of recent months, and payroll employment edged up, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The nation's jobless rate, which had shown little change over the prior 3 months, rose by 0.3 percentage point to 7.5 percent in May. Nonfarm payroll enployment increased by 68,000 in May, continuing the slow upward trend evident since the beginning of the year. Total enployment, as estimated through the household survey, was unchanged in May, following large gains over the prior 2 months. Unemployment (Household Survey Data) The nunber of unemployed persons increased by 349,000 to 9-5 million in May, and the unemployment rate rose to 7.5 percent, the highest level since August 1984. The rate had been 7.3 percent in both February and March and 7.2 percent in April. (See table A-1.) The rise in unenployment occurred among youth (16- to 24-year-olds) and men 25 years and over. The jobless rate for youth rose by a full percentage point to 14.5 percent in May, and the rate for men 25 years and over increased from 6.2 to 6.5 percent. The rate for women 25 and over, at 5.6 percent in May, was little changed over the month. Jobless rates for whites (6.5 percent), blacks (14.7 percent), and Hispanics (11.3 percent) were up in May. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-8.) There were increases in both the number of persons who had recently become unemployed as well as those who had been jobless for several months. The number unenployed for less than 5 weeks rose by 215,000 in May, reaching 3.4 million. The number jobless for 15 weeks or longer, which had declined in April, rose by 343,000 in May to 3.4 million, the highest level since November 1983; most of this increase occurred in the 6 months and over group. Both the mean and median duration, at 18.3 and 9.0 weeks, The establishment data shown in this news release have been adjusted to reflect annual benchmark revisions and updated seasonal adjustment factors.

The number of unemployed who had lost their last jobs rose by 333,000 in May to 5.5 million, reversing the declines of March and April. The number of persons limited to working part time for economic reasons— sometimes referred to as the partially unenployed—which had been declining since the beginning of the year, increased by. 252,000 to 6.5 million in May. (See tables A-3 and A-6.) Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) Following substantial increases in both March and April, total enployment held steady in May at 117.7 million. The employment-population ratio (the percentage of the population that is employed) was about unchanged at 61.5 percent. (See table A-1.) The civilian labor force rose by 331,000 in May, reaching 127.2 million. Labor force growth—which had been anemic during most of the recession—has been very strong since late last year, averaging about 300,000 a month since November. Nearly half of the May increase was among 16- to 24-year-old youth. The labor force participation rate—the percentage of the working-age population that is either enployed or unenployed—rose 0.2 percentage point to 66.5 percent in May; this was 0.7 percentage point higher than last Noventoer. (See table A-1.) Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data) Nonfarm payroll employment continued its modest upward trend of recent months, edging up'by 68,000 in May. Since January, the number of nonfarm jobs has grown by 350,000. (See table B-1.) Employment in the service-producing sector grew for the sixth consecutive month in May, with an increase of 76,000. The services industry itself added 109.000 jobs, its largest single-month gain since March 1990. Business services accounted for 39,000 of this increase, continuing its strong upward trend of recent months. Employment in the health services industry continued its long-term uptrend with an increase of 20,000 in May. Retail trade lost 44,000 jobs, after an increase of 83,000 in April, and has shown no clear enployment trend since January. Finance continued to grow, adding 11,000 jobs. In the goods-producing sector, total manufacturing employment was little changed in May. Most industries within manufacturing also showed little change; there was continued weakness in the defense-dependent transportation equipment and electronic equipment industries and small job gains in furniture and rubber and plastics. An employment increase in machinery resulted solely from a return of striking workers. Construction has still failed to generate any substantial job growth, and mining lost another 5,000 jobs, all of them in oil and gas extraction. - 4 Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data) The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls edged up by a tenth of an hour to 34.5 hours, following an identical decline in the prior month. The average factory workweek rose two-tenths of an hour to 41.3 hours; this was its highest level since October 1966. Average overtime for factory workers, which posted its fourth consecutive monthly increase, was 4.0 hours, a level which has not been exceeded since April 1973. (See table B-2.) The index of aggregate weekly hours of private production or nonsupervisory workers increased by 0.5 percent to 121.5 (1982B100) in May* after seasonal adjustment. The manufacturing index also rose by 0.5 percent, to 103.4; this index has been on a steady upward trend over the past 6 months. (See table B-5-) Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data) Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory workers edged up by 0.3 percent to $10.56, seasonally adjusted. Average weekly earnings increased by 0.6 percent to $364.32. Prior to seasonal adjustment, average hourly earnings rose by 1 cent and average weekly earnings were up by $2.45. Over the year, average hourly earnings increased by 2.5 percent and average weekly earnings by 3.4 percent. (See tables B-3 and B-4.) -5 Revisions in the Establishment Survey Data In accordance with annual practice, the establishment survey data have been revised to reflect comprehensive universe counts of payroll jobs (benchmarks) . These counts are derived principally from unemployment insurance tax records for March 1991. The benchmark adjustment to March 1991 enployment levels is -640,000 or -0.6 percent, before seasonal adjustment, and -558,000 after seasonal adjustment. Table B presents revised total nonfarm enployment data on a seasonally adjusted basis for the period April 1990-February 1992; February 1992 represents the last month of final published estimates prior to this benchmark revision. These revised data incorporate new seasonal adjustment factors, revised bias adjustments, and the effect of applying the rate of change measured by the sample to a new benchmark level. These adjustments have brought down enployment levels since March 1991 but have not materially affected trends for that period. All unadjusted establishment data series from April* 1990 forward and all seasonally adjusted series from January 1987 forward are affected by the annual revisions announced today. The June 1992 issue of Enployment and Earnings will contain an article that discusses the effects of the benchmark revisions, revised seasonal adjustment factors to be used during May-October 1992, and an explanation of the seasonal adjustment methodology. This issue will also present revised estimates for all regularly published tables containing national establishment survey data on enployment, hours, and earnings. All of the revised historical series will be published in a.special supplement to Enployment and Earnings, which is expected to be issued in July. This supplement, when combined with the historical volune, Employment, Hours, and Earnings, Lfriited States, 1909"90 (BLS Bulletin 2370), will comprise the full historical series on national data obtained from the establishment survey. Five years of data for the "B" tables published in this release are available on diskette (202-5231172); the full history for all establishment data series is available on magnetic tape (202-606-5957). A special press briefing on the benchmark revisions was held on Wednesday, June 3. Detailed information on the revision and its cause and effects are described in the pamphlet, "Revision of Payroll Survey Enployment Estimates to March 1991 Benchmarks," which is available upon request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Explanatory Note statistics from two major surveys, the This news release p 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 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 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 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 noninstitutional population 16 years 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 15 hours or more in an enterprise operated by a member of their family, whether they were paid or noL 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: They 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. The 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-Sb, while U-5a, 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: • The ousehold survey, although based on a smaller sample, reflects a larger se mem of the population; the establishment survey excludes ;, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, and private nuumwiH workers; • The household, survey includes people on unpaid leave among the employed; the establishment survey does not; • The household survey is limited to those 16 yean of age and older; the establishment survey is not limited by age; • The household survey has no duplication of individuals, because each individual is counted only once; in the establishment survey, employees working at more than one job or otherwise appearing on more than one payroll would be counted separately for each appearance. 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 thai 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 farce 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 than 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 *M*t*Kji<ihfnqflt survey, estimates for tjie 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 eirq)loyedi« conducted each year. The results of this survey are used to establish new benchmarkscomprehensive counts of enrployment-against which month-tomomh 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 than 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.
