SEPTEMBER 1995 Nonfarm payroll employment rose modestly in September and the unemployment rate remained 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 121,000, although the number of factory jobs continued to decline. The jobless rate has shown little change over the past several months. Unemployment (Household Survey Data) Both the number of unemployed persons and the unemployment rate were essentially unchanged in September at 7.5 million and 5.6 percent, respectively. These measures have shown very little movement since the spring. In September, there was little or no change in the unemployment rates for adult women and men (each at 4.9 percent), teenagers (17.5 percent), whites (4.8 percent), and blacks (11.3 percent). The rate for Hispanics fell back to 8.9 percent, about the same as the figures for June and July. The number of unemployed persons who were on temporary layoff in September, 874,000, fell for the second straight month. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-6.) Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) Total employment rose by 361,000 in September to 125.1 million. The employment-population ratio (the proportion of the population that was employed), at 62.9 percent, remained about the same as in August. (See table A-1.) The number of workers who held more than one job was 7.7 million (not seasonally adjusted) in September. These workers comprised 6.1 percent of the total employed, the same proportion as a year earlier. (See table A-8.) The civilian labor force grew by 380,000 to 132.6 million in September, seasonally adjusted. Over the past year, the labor force has expanded by 1.3 million. The labor force participation rate, at 66.6 percent in September, has fluctuated within a relatively narrow range since last spring. (See table A-1.) - 2 Table A.

This was 275,000 fewer than a year earlier. The number of discouraged workers--persons who had stopped looking for work specifically because they believed there were no jobs available for them--dropped by 180,000 over the year to 341,000. (See table A-8.) Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data) Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by a modest 121,000 in September to 117.0 million, after seasonal adjustment. Services and retail trade had substantial job gains, while manufacturing experienced another employment decline. (See table B-1.) The services industry added 106,000 jobs in September, with business services again providing the largest part of the increase (59,000). Within business services, the help supply component added 35,000 jobs. This increase, combined with that for August, more than recouped the job losses the industry sustained earlier in the year. Computer services, another component of business services, continued to grow, adding 10,000 jobs in September. This industry has experienced uninterrupted growth over the last decade, with employment nearly doubling to 1.1 million. Elsewhere in the services industry, employment rose in health services (25,000) and social services (33,000) but declined in amusements and recreation and in membership organizations. Retail trade employment rose by 48,000 in September. Eating and drinking establishments added 20,000 jobs, partially recouping large August losses. Auto dealers and service stations again had strong employment growth, and miscellaneous retail and department stores also made gains. Apparel and accessory stores continued its downward path, with a particularly steep over-the-month loss (15,000). Elsewhere in the service-producing sector, finance, insurance, and real estate continued a pattern of slow job growth. Employment in each of the three major components of this industry division has been on an upward path over the last several months. In transportation and public utilities and in wholesale trade, employment was little changed over the month. Government employment declined by 30,000 with losses concentrated in the state and local education components where employment had risen substantially in August. The decline in employment on a seasonally adjusted basis reflected the increasing trend for schools to be open in August. This change has shifted some of the seasonal employment buildup in education from September to August. The Federal government, excluding the postal service, continued to downsize. Manufacturing employment declined by 32,000 in September, bringing factory job losses since March to 200,000. Over the month, job declines were widespread. The largest decreases occurred in apparel and textiles, where job losses have accelerated in recent months, and in motor vehicles. Electronic components and industrial machinery, industries which have shown consistent strength in 1995, again added jobs in September. - 4 Employment in construction rose by 16,000, after seasonal adjustment, as weak hiring earlier this year resulted in fewer September layoffs than expected, based on the seasonal factors. Over the past year, construction has added 170,000 workers, less than half as many as in the prior year. Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data) The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls edged up by 0.1 hour to 34.4 hours, seasonally adjusted. The manufacturing workweek also was up by 0.1 hour to 41.6 hours, and factory overtime rose by 0.2 hour to 4.5 hours. (See table B-2.) The index of aggregate weekly hours of private production or nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls rose by 0.5 percent to 132.9 (1982=100) in September, offsetting a similar decline in the prior month. The manufacturing index was unchanged at 106.3, seasonally adjusted. (See table B-5.) Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data) Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory workers increased by 4 cents in September to $11.52, seasonally adjusted. Average weekly earnings increased by 0.6 percent to $396.29, reflecting increases in the workweek and hourly pay. Over the past year, average hourly and weekly earnings rose by 3.0 and 2.1 percent, respectively. (See table B-3.) _________________________ The Employment Situation for October 1995 is scheduled to be released on Friday, November 3, at 8:30 A.M.
