OCTOBER 1995

Nonfarm payroll employment increased in October and the unemployment
rate was essentially unchanged at 5.5 percent, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The number of
payroll jobs increased by 116,000, as several service-producing industries
and construction experienced gains. Manufacturing employment was down,
reflecting a strike in the aircraft industry.
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
Both the number of unemployed persons and the unemployment rate were
about unchanged in October at 7.2 million and 5.5 percent, respectively.
The jobless rate has remained in a very narrow range in recent months. The
unemployment rate for adult men fell four-tenths of a percentage point in
October to 4.5 percent. The rate for blacks (9.9 percent) also fell; this
series often fluctuates widely from month to month. The rates for adult
women (5.0 percent), teenagers (17.1 percent), whites (4.8 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 125.4 million in October, changed little over the
month. The proportion of the working-age population that was employed (the
employment-population ratio) was 63.0 percent in October. This ratio has
been at or near that level over the past 12 months. The number of persons
working part time for economic reasons fell slightly in October to 4.4
million. This series has shown no clear trend for more than a year. (See
tables A-1 and A-3.)
The number of workers who held more than one job in October was 8.0
million (not seasonally adjusted). These multiple jobholders comprised 6.3
percent of the total employed, little different from a year earlier. (See
table A-8.)
The civilian labor force, at a seasonally adjusted level of 132.6
million in October, was unchanged from the previous month. The labor force
participation rate also was unchanged at 66.6 percent. (See table A-1.)

- 3 Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
About 1.6 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally
attached to the labor force in October--that is, they wanted and were
available for work but had stopped looking for jobs sometime in the prior
12 months. This was about the same number as a year earlier. The number
of discouraged workers--persons who had stopped looking for work
specifically because they believed no jobs were available to them--was
412,000 in October. (See table A-8.)
Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 116,000 in October to 117.0
million, after seasonal adjustment. The increase was held down by a net
rise in strike activity, which removed 23,000 workers from payrolls. Most
industry divisions in the service-producing sector showed job gains over
the month. (See table B-1.)
Employment in the services industry rose by 57,000 in October, the
second straight month of relatively slow growth. Sizable increases
occurred in health, engineering and management, and auto repair services.
Employment in business services, which had grown by nearly 400,000 jobs
over the year ending in September, was essentially unchanged in October, as
further gains in computer services were offset by a decline in personnel
supply. There were small declines in several other services industries.
Employment in transportation and public utilities rose by 22,000, more
than reversing a decline in the previous month. A job gain of 14,000 in
trucking and warehousing included a return of 5,000 workers who had been on
strike. Air transportation added 6,000 jobs for the second consecutive
month. Finance, insurance, and real estate employment rose sharply; the
increase of 18,000 resulted from strength in real estate, mortgage banking,
and credit agencies. Wholesale trade also added workers, largely in
durable goods distribution. Employment in retail trade was little changed,
following a large increase in the previous month. While auto dealers and
service stations posted a sizable job gain, there was a decline of similar
magnitude in miscellaneous retail (such as drug stores and catalog
companies). Employment in eating and drinking places declined in October,
reversing an increase in September.
Manufacturing employment declined by 21,000 in October. A strike in
the aircraft industry removed 26,000 workers from payrolls. Job losses
continued in apparel and in printing and publishing. A number of
manufacturing industries recorded job gains, including fabricated metals,
industrial machinery (despite a strike involving 2,000 workers), electronic
components, and food processing.
Construction employment rose by 28,000, following a similar increase
in September. Despite these gains, the increase in construction employment
over the past year is still only about 60 percent of the growth in the
prior 12 months. Mining continued its downward slide, losing 3,000 jobs in
October.
Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on
private nonfarm payrolls rose by 0.2 hour in October to 34.7 hours,
seasonally adjusted. Both the manufacturing workweek and factory overtime

- 4 fell by 0.2 hour, to 41.5 hours and 4.3 hours, respectively, the same
levels as in August. (See table B-2.)
The index of aggregate weekly hours of private production or
nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls increased by 0.8 percent on a
seasonally adjusted basis to 134.0 (1982=100) in October. The
manufacturing index fell 0.5 percent to 105.8. (See table B-5.)
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory
workers on nonfarm payrolls advanced 6 cents in October to $11.59
(seasonally adjusted) following a gain of 5 cents in the previous month.
Average weekly earnings increased by 1.1 percent, reflecting gains in both
the workweek and hourly pay. Over the past year, average hourly earnings
rose by 3.0 percent and average weekly earnings rose by 2.4 percent. (See
table B-3.)

The Employment Situation for November 1995 is scheduled to be released
on Friday, December 8, at 8:30 A.M. (EST).
--------------------------------------------------------|
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 will no longer be of sufficient size to provide
|
|data for all of these 11 states directly. 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.
