Unemployment rates were down since the beginning of the yearfor all of these groups except Hispanic workers. (See tables A-1 and A-2.) The number of long-term (27 weeks or more) unemployed workers fell by176,000 in June to 1.5 million. The number unemployed for fewer than 5weeks increased by 219,000, returning to the April level. (See table A-5.) Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) Following increases in the prior 2 months, total employment fell by442,000 in June to 122.4 million, after seasonal adjustment. Theemployment-to-population ratio dropped by 0.3 percentage point to 62.2percent, the same level that prevailed in the early months of 1994. (Seetable A-1.) The number of workers holding two or more jobs in June was 7.1million (not seasonally adjusted), or 5.7 percent of all employed persons(table A-8). The civilian labor force declined by 526,000 in June. As a result,the proportion of the population in the labor force also fell, to 66.2percent, after seasonal adjustment. (See table A-1.) Discouraged Workers (Household Survey Data) The number of discouraged workers--persons who wanted jobs but hadgiven up searching because they did not think they could find work--was532,000 (not seasonally adjusted) in June 1994. An additional 1.2 millionpersons had searched unsuccessfully for work in the prior year and wouldlike to have a job, but are not currently looking for work due to reasonssuch as school and family obligations. (See table A-8.)

  • Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data) Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 379,000 in June to 113.3million. Monthly gains averaged 344,000 during the second quarter of 1994,compared with 229,000 in each of the prior two quarters. While most of theMay-June increase occurred in the service-producing industries, there weresizable increases in the goods-producing industries as well. (See tableB-1.) Manufacturing employment increased by 34,000 in June, building on theslow growth trend that began last October. Virtually all of the industriesexperiencing improvements were in durable goods production, includingfabricated metals, industrial machinery, electronic equipment, and motorvehicles and equipment. Declines continued, however, in aircraft and otherdefense-dependent industries. Construction added 16,000 jobs in June, with almost all of the gain inspecial trade contractors. Monthly job increases so far this year haveaveraged 31,000 in construction, compared with an average of 19,000 for allof 1993, but gains have slowed in the last 2 months, following the increasein interest rates. Services employment rose by 186,000 in June, after a modest increasein May. The largest gain was in the business services component (78,000),particularly in personnel supply services. Over-the-month gains alsooccurred in health services, amusement and recreation, hotels, and motionpictures. Employment increases in many of these industries that typically - 4 - expand in the summer months were boosted somewhat by the fact that the Junesurvey period was particularly late in the month. Jobs in retail trade rose by 102,000 in June, following a relativelysmall gain in May. Most of the June gain was in eating and drinkingplaces. In addition, there were increases in furniture stores and autodealers. Wholesale trade employment rose for the tenth consecutive month;91,000 jobs have been added since August. Transportation and public utilities gained 11,000 jobs in June.Increases in trucking and local transit were partly offset by continueddeclines in public utilities. Federal government employment continued todecline, with reductions since April 1992 totaling 125,000. Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data) The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers onprivate nonfarm payrolls decreased by 0.2 hour to 34.6 hours in June,following increases of 0.1 hour in each of the previous 2 months. Thefactory workweek, though still at exceptionally high levels, edged down 0.1hour for the second straight month to 42.0 hours; factory overtime wasunchanged over the month at 4.6 hours but also has declined 0.2 hour sinceApril. (See table B-2.)

  • Reflecting the decline in the average workweek, the index of aggregateweekly hours of private production or nonsupervisory workers was off 0.3percent to 128.7 (1982=100) in June, seasonally adjusted. The index ofmanufacturing hours gained 0.2 percent to 105.3, as the employmentincrease more than offset the small reduction in the factory workweek.(See table B-5.) Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data) Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisoryworkers slipped 0.1 percent in June to $11.08, seasonally adjusted,following a 0.4 percent increase in May. Average weekly earnings decreasedby 0.7 percent in June to $383.37, largely due to the decline in averageweekly hours. Over the past year, average hourly earnings increased by 2.5percent and average weekly earnings were up 3.1 percent.
