The Labor Force and Total Employment The civilian labor force grew by 340,000 In September to 111.0 million, seasonally adjusted. Virtually all of this increase took place among adult men. Adult women, however, have accounted for the largest share of the 2.3 million increase In the labor force over the past year—1.7 million. Over this same period, the number of adult men in the labor force has Increased by more than 900,000, while the number of teenagers has dropped by over 300,000. (See table A-l.) Employment was about unchanged in September at 99.7 million, seasonally adjusted. Since the pre-recession peak in July 1981, total employment has dropped by 1.1 million, with adult men accounting for virtually the entire decline. The proportion of the population employed, at 57.0 percent in September, has declined by 1.5 percentage points over the same period. Discouraged Workers The number of discouraged workers (persons who report that they want to work but are not looking for jobs because they believe they could not find any) rose for the fifth consecutive Table A. Major indicators of labor market activity, seasonally adjusted Quarterly averages Monthly data Category 1981 III 1982 II Sept. change 1982 III July | Aug. Sept, HOUSEHOLD DATA THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: SEPTEMBER 1982 The Nation's unemployment rate rose to 10.1 percent in September, and the number of jobs in nonagrlcultural establishments declined, after seasonal adjustment, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The unemployment rate was 9.8 percent in August. Since the pre-recession peak of July 1981, the overall rate has risen by 2.9 percentage points. Total employment—as measured by the monthly survey of households—was about unchanged in September at 99.7 million. Nonfarm payroll employment—as measured by the monthly survey of establishments—dropped by 230,000 to 89.0 million. Employment declines continued in the manufacturing sector, and the factory workweek was down four-tenths of an hour. Unemployment After seasonal adjustment, unemployment rose by 450,000 in September to 11.3 million, and the overall unemployment rate rose three-tenths of a point to 10.1 percent. Adult men—especially those over 25 years of age—accounted for nearly all of the September Increase in unemployment. Their unemployment usually declines at this time of year, but did not do so this September. After seasonal adjustment, the jobless rate for men 20 and over rose to 9.6 percent. Unemployment rates for adult women and teenagers were about unchanged at 8.3 percent and 23.7 percent, respectively. The Increase in unemployment was reflected In the jobless rates of both white (9.0 percent) and black (20.2 percent) workers, whereas the Incidence of joblessness among Hispanics was unchanged at 14.6 percent. (See tables A-l and A-2.) Joblessness among blue-collar workers was up 1.4 points to 15.6 percent, while unemployment among white-collar (4.8 percent) and service workers (10.7 percent) was unchanged over the month. Among the major industry groups, unemployment rates for construction and manufacturing workers rose to 22.6 percent and 13.8 percent, respectively. (See table A-5.) The number of unemployed persons seeking work for 15 weeks or longer was up in September, with the increase concentrated among those out of work for more than 6 months. Both the mean and median duration of unemployment rose, the mean to 16.6 weeks and the median to 9.5 weeks. (See table A-6.) In addition to the Increase in joblessness In September, there was also a large Increase after seasonal adjustment in the number of nonagrlcultural workers on part-time schedules for economic reasons; their number was up 950,000 over the month to a record 6.6 million. These are workers whose hours were cut back or could only find part-time Jobs. (See table A-3.) Civilian labor force Total employment Unemployment Not In labor force.......

Three-fourths of all discouraged workers were not seeking work because of job-market factors. (See table A-ll.) Industry Payroll Employment Nonagricultural payroll employment, at 89.0 million in September, was down 230,000 over the month after seasonal adjustment and has fallen by nearly 2.4 million since July 1981. Over-the-month reductions were concentrated in the durable goods manufacturing industries, which lost 80,000 jobs; retail trade, down 45,000; and State and local government, which declined by 90,000. (See table B-l.) Among the durable goods industries, transportation equipment employment decreased for the second month in a row, dropping by 30,000 in September and 70,000 since August. Machinery also continued to decline, losing an additional 20,000 jobs over the month, while primary and fabricated metals jobs were down by smaller margins. There was little movement among the Individual nondurable goods industries. Overall, manufacturing employment was down by 85,000 over the month and has declined by 1.8 million since July 1981. Employment was about unchanged over the month in mining and construction. Employment in the service-producing sector, which had shown some strength early in the recession, declined by 140,000 in September and was down more than 400,000 from last May. The over-the-month drop was due entirely to the job losses in trade and State and local government. Most of the seasonally adjusted decline in State and local government resulted from the fact that September hiring in schools was less than usual for this time of year, as school systems continued to adjust to smaller enrollments and tighter budgets; a small part of the decline was due to teacher strikes. Hours of Work The average workweek of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonagricultural payrolls was 34.8 hours in September, seasonally adjusted, about the level that has generally prevailed since last September. The factory workweek, however, fell 0.4 hour over the month to 38.6 hours, which was below the 1973-75 recession low. Factory overtime was down 0.1 hour to 2.3 hours in September. (See table B-2.) The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls declined 0.3 percent in September to 103.8 (1977-100). The manufacturing index was down 1.4 percent over the month to 85.2 and has fallen more than 12 percent over the past year. (Se?e table B-5.) Hourly and Weekly Earnings Average hourly and weekly earnings both fell 0.1 percent in September, after seasonal adjustment. Before adjustment for seasonality, average hourly earnings were up 7 cents to $7.76, 36 cents above the year-earlier level. Average weekly earnings, at $270.05, were down 64 cents over the month but rose by $10.31 over the year. (See table B-3.) The Hourly Earnings Index The Hourly Earnings Index (HEI) was 149.9 (1977-100) in September, seasonally adjusted, 0.1 percent higher than in August. For the 12 months ended in September, the increase (before seasonal adjustment) was 6.0 percent. The HEI excludes the effects of two types of changes unrelated to underlying wage rate movements—fluctuations in overtime in manufacturing and interindustry employment shifts. In dollars of constant purchasing power, the HEI increased 0.8 percent during the 12-month period ended in August. (See table B-4.) Explanatory Note This news release presents statistics from two major surveys, the Current Population Survey (household survey) and the Current Employment Statistics Survey (establishment survey). The household survey provides the information on the labor force, total 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 nonagricultural 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 approximately 177,000 establishments employing about 36 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 civilians; 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 not. People are also counted as employed if they were on unpaid leave because of illness, bad weather, disputes between labor and management, 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. Also included among the unemployed are persons not looking for work because they were laid off and waiting to be recalled and those expecting to report to a job within 30 days. The civilian labor force equals the sum of the number employed and the number unemployed. The unemployment rate is the percentage of unemployed people in the civilian labor force. Table A-4 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 official unemployment rate isU-5. Unlike the household survey, the establishment survey only counts wage and salary employees whose names appear on the payroll records of nonagricultural firms. As a result, there are many differences between the two surveys, among which are the following: —The household survey, although based on a smaller sample, reflects a larger segment of the population; the establishment survey excludes agriculture, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, and private household 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 years 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 the BLS upon request. Seasonal adjustment Over a 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 effecM>Ljuch 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 that 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 civilian 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 force 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 official 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 regularly. For the household survey, the factors are calculated for the January-June period and again for the July-December period. The January revision is applied to data that have been published over the previous 5 years. For the establishment survey, updated factors for seasonal adjustment are calculated only once a year, along with the introduction of new benchmarks which are discussed at the end of the next section. Sampling variability Statistics based on the household and establishment surveys are subject to sampling error, that is, the estimate of the number of people employed and thes 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 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 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 the 90-percent 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 279,000; for total unemployment it is 194,000; and, for the overall unemployment rate, it is 0.19 percentage point. These figures do not mean that the sample results are off by these magnitudes but, rather, that the chances are 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 .24 percentage point; for teenagers, it is 1.06 percentage points. In the establishment survey, estimates for the 2 most current 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 employed is conducted each year. The results of this survey are used to establish new benchmarks—comprehensive counts of employment—against which month-to-month changes can be measured. The new benchmarks also incorporate changes in the classification of industries and allow for the formation of new establishments. Additional statistics and other information 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. More comprehensive statistics are contained in Employment and Earnings, published each month by BLS. It is available for $3.75 per issue or S31.00 per year from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20204. Afcheckor money order made out to the Superintendent of Documents must accompany all orders. Employment and Earnings also provides approximations of the standard errors for the household survey data published in this release. For unemployment and other labor force categories, the standard errors appear in tables B through J of its "Explanatory Notes/' Measures of the reliability of the data drawn from the establishment survey and the actual amounts of revision due to benchmark adjustments are provided in tables M, O, P, and Q of that publication.
