THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION:

Transmission of material in this

NOVEMBER 1995

Nonfarm payroll employment rose in November and the unemployment rate
was essentially unchanged at 5.6 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The number of payroll jobs
increased by 166,000, but manufacturing employment continued to decline.
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
The number of unemployed persons and the unemployment rate in November
were 7.4 million and 5.6 percent, respectively. Both measures have
remained in a very narrow range for much of the year. The unemployment
rate for adult men rose four-tenths of a percentage point to 4.9 percent in
November; this followed a decline of the same magnitude in the previous
month. The rates for adult women (4.8 percent), teenagers (17.9 percent),
whites (5.0 percent), blacks (9.4 percent), and Hispanics (9.4 percent)
showed little or no change. (See tables A-1 and A-2.)
Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
Total employment, at 125.0 million in November, fell by 389,000 over
the month. The proportion of the working-age population that was employed
(the employment-population ratio) was 62.7 percent; it has been at or near
that level since spring. The number of persons working part time for
economic reasons was unchanged in November at 4.4 million. (See tables A-1
and A-3.)
The number of workers who held more than one job in November was 7.6
million (not seasonally adjusted). These multiple jobholders comprised 6.1
percent of the total employed, about the same as a year earlier. (See
table A-8.)
The civilian labor force, at a seasonally adjusted level of 132.4
million in November, was essentially unchanged from the previous month.
The labor force participation rate also was little changed at 66.4 percent.
(See table A-1.)

- 3 Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
About 1.5 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally
attached to the labor force in November--that is, they wanted and were
available for work but had stopped looking for jobs sometime in the prior
12 months. The number of discouraged workers--persons who had stopped
looking for work specifically because they believed no jobs were available
to them--was 401,000 in November. Both figures were about the same as a
year earlier. (See table A-8.)
Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
Nonfarm payroll employment increased by 166,000 in November to 117.2
million. This gain was concentrated in the services and retail trade
industries, while manufacturing employment continued its downward trend.
A portion of the payroll employment increase was attributable to two
technical factors: a later-than-usual survey week, and the normal semiannual updating of the factors used in the seasonal adjustment process.
The combined effect accounted for about 70,000 of the over-the-month
increase in payroll employment, with the majority of the effect in retail
trade. (See table B-1.)
The services industry added 87,000 jobs in November, with health
services and engineering and management services showing large gains. The
pace of job growth in health services has been quite robust in recent
months. Employment in engineering and management services has expanded
rapidly in 1995, adding nearly 150,000 workers. Following recent declines,
employment in hotels and other lodging places and membership organizations
had sizable over-the-month increases. Business services showed a
relatively small job gain for the second straight month, as a decline in
help supply services offset much of the increase in computer services and
other business services.
Employment in retail trade rose by 74,000 in November. Much of the
increase, however, was attributable to the technical factors previously
mentioned. Wholesale trade added 12,000 jobs over the month, virtually all
of which was concentrated in the distribution of durable goods.
Employment in transportation and public utilities increased by 18,000,
primarily due to gains in the local transit and air transportation
industries. Finance recorded its largest gain in 2 years (14,000).
Manufacturing employment fell by 32,000 in November, continuing the
downward trend which began this April. The November decline was evenly
divided between the durable and nondurable goods industries. Within
durables, the motor vehicle component of transportation equipment
experienced the greatest decline (14,000), resulting from the temporary
layoff of auto workers for inventory adjustment. Another component of
transportation equipment, aircraft manufacturing, showed a further decline
over the month as additional workers went out on strike. In contrast,
industrial machinery and electronic components continued their strong job
growth trend. In nondurables, the apparel industry again experienced job
losses; these have totaled 86,000 over the year.

- 4 Construction employment was little changed in November, after seasonal
adjustment, following 2 months of healthy job gains. Employment in
November may have been held down due to the very cold weather conditions in
the eastern half of the country, which resulted in more layoffs than usual
in such outdoor activities as heavy construction, roofing, and concrete
work. Mining continued its long-term decline, losing 3,000 jobs over the
month.
Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on
private nonfarm payrolls edged down by 0.1 hour in November to 34.5 hours,
seasonally adjusted. Both the average manufacturing workweek and factory
overtime were unchanged, at 41.5 and 4.4 hours, respectively. (See table B2.)
The index of aggregate weekly hours of private production or
nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls declined by 0.4 percent on a
seasonally adjusted basis to 133.3 (1982=100) in November. The
manufacturing index edged down by 0.1 percent to 105.7. (See table B-5.)
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory
workers edged down by 1 cent in November to $11.58 (seasonally adjusted),
following a gain of 5 cents in the previous month. Average weekly earnings
fell by 0.4 percent to $399.51. Over the past year, average hourly
earnings increased by 3.0 percent and average weekly earnings rose by 2.7
percent. (See table B-3.)

The collection period for the November data presented
|
|in this release overlapped the November 14-19 shutdown of
|
|many federal agencies, including the Bureau of Labor Statistics
|
|(BLS) and the Bureau of the Census. Due to the timing and
|
|nature of our survey collection procedures, the federal shutdown
|
|had no effect on this months establishment survey data.
|
|Household survey data are collected for BLS by the U.S. Bureau
|
|of the Census. Interviewers from the Census Bureau normally
|
|would have begun collecting data on Sunday, November 19;
|
|because of the federal shutdown, however, normal data collection
|
|efforts did not begin until Tuesday, November 21. Collection
|
|efforts were further complicated by the presence of the
|
|Thanksgiving Day holiday in the collection week. Nevertheless,
|
|due to extraordinary efforts by staff from the Census Bureau, a
|
|sufficient number of household interviews was conducted to
|
|provide an adequate sample in time for the scheduled release
|
|of November data. It does not appear that the quality of the
|
|household survey data was materially compromised by the
|
|later-than-normal interviews.
|
|
In accordance with usual practice, the release of December
|
|data will incorporate annual revisions in the seasonally adjusted
|
|household survey estimates. In addition, unadjusted series for
|
|1990-93 will be revised to reflect 1990 census-based population
|
|controls, adjusted for the estimated undercount. Thus, seasonally
|
|adjusted data for 1990-95 are subject to revision.
|
|
Effective with the data for January 1996, scheduled for release |
|on February 2, BLS plans to discontinue publishing table A-9,
|
|"Employment status of the civilian population for 11 large states." |
|Because of anticipated budget reductions, we expect that the Current |
|Population Survey sample will no longer be of sufficient size to
|
|provide data for all of these 11 states directly from the survey.
|
|Estimates for these states, based on the method currently used for
|
|each of the other states and the District of Columbia, will be
|
|included in the news release, "State and Metropolitan Area Employment|
|and Unemployment," issued about 4 weeks after "The Employment
|
|Situation" news release.

1/ These series are not published seasonally adjusted
because the seasonal component, which is small relative
to the trend-cycle and irregular components, cannot
be separated with sufficient precision.
2/ This series is not suitable for seasonal adjustment

because it has very little irregular movement. Thus,
the not seasonally adjusted series can be used
for analysis of cyclical and long-term trends.
3/ Includes other industries, not shown separately.
