(EOT). FRIDAY. OCTOBER 2, 1992 SEPTEMBER 1992 Both employment and unemployment were about unchanged in September the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. At 7.5 percent in Septentoer, the undnployment rate was little different from the August figure but three-tenths of a percentage point below the June rate of 7.8 percent. Nonfarm payroll jobs were little changed in Septentoer, after declining in the prior month. In the private sector, job gains in services were acconpanied by further job losses in manufacturing and construction. Government enployment fell at the local level, as many jobs funded through the special sumer youth program cane to an end. Unemployment (Household Survey Data) The unenployrrent rate, 7.5 percent, and the number of unenployed persons, 9*6 million, were little changed in September from the previous month, though both have edged down from June levels. Jobless rates for each of the major demographic groups showed little movement over the month. Rates in September were 7.1 percent for adult men, 6.3 percent for adult women, 20.4 percent for teenagers, 6.7 percent for whites, 13-7 percent for blacks, and 11.9 percent for Hispanics. (See tables A-1 and A-2.) Both the nimber of job losers and long-term unenployed—two other key unenployment measures—were also little changed in September. (See tables A-5 and A-6.) Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) Total enployment held at 117*7 million in September, after seasonal adjustment. The enployment-population ratio—the percentage of the working-age population that is enployed—was 61.3 percent. This ratio has shown no clear movement for about a year. (See table A-1.) The rapid labor force growth between last November and June ceased over the sumer. At 127*3 million in Septenter, the civilian labor force was little changed both over the month and from the June level. The labor force participation rate—the percentage of the working-age population that is either working or looking for work—was 66.3 percent in Septentoer, down 0.3 percentage point from its all-tine high of 66.6 percent last reached in June and July.

There has been little movement in the size of this group over the past year. (See table A-11.) Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data) Nonfarm payroll employment was little changed in September, following a decline of 128,000 (as revised) in August. Gains took place in the services industry, but there were also further declines in construction and manufacturing and a drop in local government employment. (See table B-1.) Manufacturing employment declined by 26,000 in September. Although not nearly as large as the August drop (92,000), this movement indicates that the manufacturing industry continues to be weak. Job losses over the past year totaled nearly 300,000. Notable over-the-month declines occurred in aircraft, apparel, and furniture, as well as in the automobile and food processing industries, which tend to be relatively volatile on a monthly basis. In contrast, enployment increased in industrial machinery, textiles, and paper products. The construction industry, which has exhibited renewed weakness following small employment gains in the spring, lost another 21,000 jobs in September. Employment in mining was unchanged in September, marking the first month in over a year and a half that this industry did not lose jobs. Wholesale trade employment declined by 9.000 in September, continuing its 3-1/2 year trend of monthly job losses. Retail trade was unchanged, after falling sharply in August. In the services industry, enployment has risen the past year, averaging 50,000 a month. A rise of followed little change in the prior month. Finance 7,000, and the transportation industry gained 9,000 of its August decline. at an uneven pace over 72,000 in September enployment edged up by jobs, recovering most Total government enployment declined by 88,000, partially offsetting increases in July and August. Local jurisdictions have accounted for most of these enployment swings, which are largely a reflection of a build-up and subsequent wind-down of special sunnier youth job programs. Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data) The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls declined 0.3 hour in Septentoer, reversing the increase in August and returning to the June and July levels. The workweek for manufacturing production workers declined 0.2 hour to 40.8 hours. Factory overtime also declined 0.2 hour in Septentoer to 3.5 hours. (See table B-2.) - 4 - The index of aggregate weekly hours of private production or nonsupervisory workers declined 1.1 percent to 120.4 (1982=100) in September, after seasonal adjustment. The manufacturing index declined 0.8 percent to 101.1. (See table B~5.) Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data) Both average hourly and weekly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory workers were down in September, after seasonal adjustment, by 0.2 and 1.1 percent, respectively. Unadjusted average hourly earnings were up 11 cents to $10.67 in September, while average weekly earnings declined $3.62 to $365-98. Over the past year, average hourly and weekly earnings increased 2.2 and 1.3 percent, respectively. (See table B-3.) The Employment Situation for October 1992 will be released on Friday, November 6, at 8:30 A.M. (EST). 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, 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 nonfarm 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 over 350,000 establishments employing over 41 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 employees; 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, labor-management disputes, 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. Persons laid off from their former jobs and awaiting recall and those expecting to report to a job within 30 days need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. The civilian labor force equals the sum of the number employed and the number unemployed. The unemployment rate is the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. Table A-7 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 civilian worker unemployment rate is U-5b, while U-5a, the overall unemployment rate, includes the resident Armed Forces in the labor force base. Unlike the household survey, the establishment survey only counts wage and salary employees whose names appear on the payroll records of nonfarm 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 BLS upon request. Seasonal adjustment Over the 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 effect of such 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 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. TTie 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 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 twice a year. For the household survey, the factors are calculated for the January-June period and again for the JulyDecember period. For the establishment survey, updated factors for seasonal adjustment are calculated for the May-October period and introduced along with new benchmarks, and again for the November-April period. In both surveys, revisions to historical data are made once a year. are approximately 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 .25 percentage point; for teenagers, it is 1.29 percentage points. In the establishment survey, estimates for the most current 2 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. Li 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 benchmarkscomprehensive counts of employment-against which month-tomonth changes can be measured. The new benchmarks also incorporate changes in the classification of industries and allow for the formation of new establishments. Sampling variability Additional statistics and other Information Statistics based on the household and establishment surveys are subject to sampling error, that is, the estimate of the number of people employed and the 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 approximately 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 approximately 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 approximately the 90percent 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 358,000; for total unemployment it is 224,000; and, for the civilian worker unemployment rate, it is 0.19 percentage points. These figures do not mean that the sample results are off by these magnitudes but, rather, that the chances 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.
