THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: NOVEMBER 1969
Unemployment dropped sharply in November, while nonfarm employ­
ment was virtually unchanged, the U, S. Department of Laborfs Bureau of
Labor Statistics reported today.

The overall unemployment rate, which had

risen substantially in September and remained about the same in October,
fell from 3. 9 to 3. 4 percent in November, a return to the August level.
Unemployment rates for secondary workers--teenagers, adult women,
and part-time workers--were reduced significantly over the month.

Among

primary breadwinners--adult men, married men, and all full-time w orkers-rates of unemployment also moved down, but more moderately.

Jobless

rates for blue-collar and manufacturing workers, however, remained at
their October levels.
Nonfarm payroll employment remained virtually unchanged in November,
after seasonal adjustment, but would have increased modestly except for a
large net rise in the number of manufacturing workers off payrolls because
of strikes.

(Workers on strike are not counted as employed in the payroll

employment series, whereas they are classified as employed--with a job
but not at work--in the household series. ) The slowdown in the pace of pay­
roll employment growth, which began in July, remained evident in November.
After allowance for strikes, monthly payroll employment advances have
averaged only 80, 000 in the June-November period compared to 240, 000 in
the November 1968 to June 1969 periodt
Unemployme nt
The number of unemployed persons totaled 2. 7 million in November.
Unemployment usually rises at this time of year, but this November it
dropped, as a number of workers unemployed in October either found jobs
or left the labor force. After seasonal adjustment, unemployment was down
by 360, 000 from October, with nearly all of the decline among workers who
were either new entrants or re-entrants to the labor force.




-2 -

The November drop in unemployment was primarily among teenagers,
young men (age 20 to 24), and adult women.

Jobless rates for teenagers

fell from 13.0 to 11. 6 percent, for young men from 60 5 to 5.3 percent, and
for adult women from 4. 0 to 3. 5 percent.

The over-the-month declines for

teenagers and women reduced these unemployment rates to the post-Korean
lows of early 1969, while the rate for young men dropped to its mid-summer
level.
Jobless rates also moved down for adult men (2. 2 percent), married
men (1. 5 percent), and all full-time workers (3. 0 percent), although not to
the same extent as for the more marginal workers.

The rates of joblessness

among these primary workers dropped back to their August levels but were
somewhat above their post-Korean lows of early 1969o
Rates of unemployment for white workers (3.1 percent) and Negro
workers (6. 2 percent) were both down over the month.

The November rates

were about the same as in August but slightly above the rates posted in early
1969.
Despite the declines in jobless rates for most groups of workers, rates
for blue-collar workers (4. 2 percent) and for persons who had last worked
in the manufacturing industry (3. 8 percent) were unchanged over the month.
These rates have risen gradually since late spring.

For workers covered

under State unemployment insurance programs, the jobless rate moved from
2. 2 to 2. 4 percent over the month.

Their rate has also inched upward since

late spring.
Industry Employment
Nonfarm payroll employment was virtually unchanged in November but
would have shown a modest gain (about 100, 000) except for substantially in­
creased strike activity, particularly in manufacturing.

Employment gains

were reported in State and local government (50, 000) and trade and construc­
tion (35,000 each).
Manufacturing employment declined by 175,000 between October and
November. Most of this decline was attributable to new strike activity in
the durable goods industries, primarily in electrical equipment.

However,

small employment declines were also reported in most other durable goods
industries.

The nondurable goods industries reported a job gain of 50, 000

in November.



Nearly all of the increase occurred in the food industry,

-3 -

reflecting the end of a strike and a rise from the artificially low October
employment level in this industry which resulted from a late survey week.
Workweek
The workweek for all rank-and-file workers on private nonagricultural
payrolls declined seasonally in November.

On a seasonally adjusted basis,

the average workweek was unchanged at 37. 6 hours, after falling 0. 2 hour
in October.

Except for February 1969, when hours of work were affected

by unusually bad weather, this was the lowest level reported since late 1968.
A decline in average hours in trade offset longer workweeks in other major
industry divisions.

The average workweek in manufacturing was unchanged

over the month, following a 0. 3 hour decline to 40. 5 hours in the previous
month.

The manufacturing workweek was at its lowest level in more than

1- 1 / 2 years (with the exception of February 1969).
For the second month, factory overtime declined, edging down over
the month by 0, 1 hour to 3. 4 hours (seasonally adjusted).

In the durable

goods sector, overtime registered a 0. 3 hour drop from October and was
at its lowest point in 2 years (with the exception of April 1968).

Since

September, overtime in durables has declined by one-half hour.

Overtime

hours in nondurable goods industries were unchanged in November.

Earnings
Average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory workers
on private payrolls were unchanged in November at $3. 11.

Hourly earnings

were up 19 cents, or 6. 5 percent, from a year ago.
Average weekly earnings fell by 62 cents in November to $116. 63,
reflecting the seasonal decrease in average weekly hours.

Over-the-month

declines in construction and trade offset the gains registered in manufactur­
ing and finance, insurance, and real estate.

Compared to a year ago,

average weekly earnings were up by $7. 13 (6. 5 percent).
Labor Force and Total Employment
The civilian labor force totaled 81. 4 million workers in November,
about 2. 2 million more than a year ago.

On a seasonally adjusted basis,

nearly three-fifths of the over-the-year rise occurred between November
1968 and February 1969.
significantly.




Labor force growth in recent months has slowed

-

Total employment was 78. 7 million, up 2. 1 million over the year.
Total nonagricultural employment, which rose sharply in late 1968 and
early 1969, has shown only moderate growth in the summer and fall of
this year.

Employment in agriculture has been on an unusually sharp

downward trend since February, although it edged up in November.
