NOVEMBER 1994

Employment expanded further in November and unemployment continued to
fall, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor
reported today. The unemployment rate, at 5.6 percent, was down 0.2
percentage point over the month and has declined by 1.1 points since
January. Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 350,000 in November, with
noteworthy gains in the services, construction, and manufacturing
industries. Average hourly earnings in the private sector decreased
slightly, following a marked rise in October.
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
Both the number of unemployed persons and the unemployment rate
declined in November. At 5.6 percent, the jobless rate has fallen by half
a percentage point since August and by 1.1 points since January. The
number of persons unemployed has dropped by 1.4 million since January to
7.3 million. (See table A-1.)
The unemployment rates for adult men (4.9 percent) and teenagers (15.3
percent) declined over the month. Adult women's jobless rate was unchanged
at 5.0 percent, after falling 0.3 percentage point in the prior month.
---------------------------------------------------------------|
Data from the household survey for 1994 are not directly
|
|comparable with data for 1993 and earlier years because of the |
|implementation in January 1994 of a major redesign of the survey|
|and the introduction of 1990 census-based population controls, |
|adjusted for the estimated undercount. In addition, the 1994
|
|data may be affected by the transition to the redesigned survey.|
|For example, seasonal factors, of necessity, have been computed |
|based on data collected in the survey prior to its revision,
|
|and these factors may not fully capture the pattern of
|
|seasonality in the current data. Hence, over-the-month
|
|comparisons of labor force estimates should be made with
|
|caution. For additional information on the redesign, see
|
|"Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective January
|
|1994" in the February 1994 issue of Employment and Earnings.
|
|
In accordance with usual practice, the release of December |
|data on January 6, 1995, will incorporate annual revisions in
|
|seasonally adjusted unemployment and other labor force series. |
|Because of the survey changes described above, only seasonally |
|adjusted data for the most recent year will be recomputed.

NOTE: Household data for 1994 are not directly comparable with data for
1993 and earlier years. For additional information, see "Revisions in the
Current Population Survey Effective January 1994" in the February 1994
issue of Employment and Earnings.

- 3 Rates for whites (4.8 percent), blacks (10.5 percent), and Hispanics (8.6
percent) were all down from their October levels. (See tables A-1 and
A-2.)
Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
Total employment rose by 372,000 in November to a seasonally adjusted
level of 124.6 million. Employment has grown sharply since July, and, as a
result, the employment-population ratio--the proportion of the working-age
population with jobs--has risen nearly a full percentage point to 63.1
percent. (See table A-1.) About 7.5 million persons (not seasonally
adjusted), or 6.0 percent of all employed persons, held more than one job
in November (table A-8). The number of persons working part time even
though they would have preferred full-time work was unchanged at 4.4
million (table A-3).
The civilian labor force, at 131.9 million, was little changed in
November, after seasonal adjustment. The labor force participation rate,
at 66.8 percent, remained at a very high level and has risen half a
percentage point since July. (See table A-1.)
Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
The number of persons with a marginal attachment to the labor force-those who wanted and were available for work but were no longer actively
looking after having searched for work sometime during the past 12 months-was 1.7 million (not seasonally adjusted) in November. Of that total, the
number of discouraged workers--persons who were not looking because they
felt there were no jobs available for them--was 447,000. (See table A-8.)
Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
Total nonfarm payroll employment climbed by 350,000 in November to
114.7 million, seasonally adjusted. The bulk of this increase occurred in
three industries--services, construction, and manufacturing. (See table
B-1.) Since January, the number of payroll jobs has expanded by 3.0
million.
An unusually large amount of the November job gain took place in the
goods-producing industries. After showing little change in October, the
construction industry added 71,000 jobs, with growth occurring in all three
of its component industries--special trade contractors, general building
contractors, and heavy construction. The return of some construction
workers in the Southeast who were unable to work during the heavy and
prolonged October rains added to the November total. Also, the November
survey likely recorded fewer seasonal layoffs than normal, because the
reference week--the week containing the 12th of the month--occurred very
early (November 6-12). Mining employment continued to edge down in
November, reflecting further job losses in oil and gas extraction.
Manufacturing employment increased by 51,000 in November, following an
advance of nearly this magnitude in October. November gains were
widespread in the durable goods industries, with the largest in industrial
machinery, electronic equipment, fabricated metals, and lumber and wood
products. Within nondurables, gains in food processing and in rubber and
plastics were partially offset by losses in apparel, which continued its
slow, long-term employment decline. The number of factory jobs has risen
by 255,000 since reaching a low in September 1993.

- 4 Employment in the services industry rose by 147,000 over the month.
Nearly two-thirds of the advance took place in business services, largely
in personnel supply. In contrast, health services had a smaller-than-usual
employment increase, while hotels and other lodging places continued a
string of job losses that began in August.
Retail trade employment edged up by 25,000 (on a seasonally adjusted
basis) in November. This total reflected gains in building materials and
garden supply stores, food stores, and automotive dealers. These gains
were partially offset by declines in apparel and other specialty retailers
and in general merchandise stores; the early timing of the survey reference
week most likely failed to capture some of the typical November holiday
buildup in these seasonal retail industries. Wholesale trade employment
rose only slightly (9,000) in November; this industry, however, has added
about 140,000 jobs over the past 12 months.
The transportation industry added 18,000 jobs in November; most of the
increase occurred in trucking and warehousing. The real estate industry
also added workers, while job losses continued in nondepository financial
institutions (such as mortgage banking) and the insurance industry. A
small gain in local government employment mostly reflected the hiring of
temporary workers for the November elections.
Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on
private nonfarm payrolls declined by 0.3 hour in November, returning to its
September level of 34.6 hours, seasonally adjusted. The average
manufacturing workweek and factory overtime held steady at 42.1 and 4.7
hours, respectively. Both remain at extremely high levels. (See table
B-2.)
As a result of the decrease in hours, the index of aggregate weekly
hours of private production or nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls
was down 0.5 percent to 130.5 (1982=100) in November, seasonally adjusted.
The manufacturing index rose by 0.3 percent to 106.7. (See table B-5.)
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory
workers slipped 2 cents in November to $11.22, seasonally adjusted,
following a 7-cent rise in October (as revised). The 2-month gain of 5
cents was about in line with the trend over the past year. Average weekly
earnings decreased by 1.0 percent in November to $388.21. Over the year,
both hourly and weekly earnings increased by 2.6 percent. (See table B-3.)
