Note on Temporary Census Workers
The hiring of temporary workers for Census 2000 affects current levels of Federal Government employment andhigher aggregates that include the Federal Government. Estimates of these workers are 32,000, 72,000, 189,000,262,000, 618,000, and 428,000 in January, February, March, April, May, and June 2000, respectively. Preliminaryemployment estimates ("B" tables) that include these workers may be subject to larger than normal revisions. Foradditional information, see "Counting the counters: effects of Census 2000 on employment" in the February 2000issue of the Monthly Labor Review.

Employment and UnemploymentDevelopments, June 2000
Total nonfarm payroll employment was little changedin June. Private-sector payroll employment rose by206,000, following a decline of 165,000 (as revised)in May. The June increase in private payrolls was largelyoffset by a decline in Federal Government employment, as190,000 temporary workers hired for the decennial censuscompleted their work. The unemployment rate was 4.0 per-cent in June, about the same as in May. Average hourlyearnings increased by 5 cents over the month and by 3.6percent over the year.
UnemploymentBoth the number of unemployed persons, 5.6 million, andthe unemployment rate, 4.0 percent, were little changed inJune. The jobless rate has been in a 3.9- to 4.1 -percent rangesince October 1999. Unemployment rates for the majorworker groups—adult men (3.2 percent), adult women (3.8percent), teenagers (11.6 percent), whites (3.4 percent),blacks (7.9 percent), and Hispanics (5.6 percent)—showedlittle or no change over the month. (See tables A-3 andA-4.)
Total employment and the labor forceTotal employment rose by 464,000 to 135.2 million, season-ally adjusted, in June. The employment-population ratio—the proportion of the population age 16 and older with jobs—was 64.5 percent, compared with 64.3 percent in May. Dur-ing the first 4 months of this year, the employment-popula-tion ratio had ranged from 64.7 to 64.9 percent. In June, thecivilian labor force was about unchanged at 140.8 million,seasonally adjusted. (See table A-3.)
Approximately 7.3 million persons (not seasonally ad-justed) held more than one job in June. These multiple job-holders represented 5.4 percent of total employment, com-pared with 5.6 percent a year earlier. (See table A-37.)
Persons not in the labor forceAbout 1.1 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) weremarginally attached to the labor force in June. These peoplewanted and were available to work and had looked for a jobsometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted asunemployed, however, because they had not actively searchedfor work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. The numberof discouraged workers was 308,000 in June, up from220,000 a year earlier. Discouraged workers, a subset of themarginally attached, were not currently looking for work
specifically because they believed no jobs were available forthem. (See table A-36.)
Industry payroll employmentTotal nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 11,000 to131.6 million in June, seasonally adjusted. Private-sectoremployment rose by 206,000, following a decline in May.So far this year, the number of private-sector jobs has in-creased by an average of 177,000 per month, compared with202,000 per month for all of 1999. Government employ-ment declined by 195,000 in June; this included the depar-ture of 190,000 temporary census workers from FederalGovernment payrolls. (See table B-3.)
Employment in the services industry rose by 148,000 inJune, after an unusually small gain (17,000) in May. Busi-ness services added 54,000 jobs in June, following a loss of20,000 in May. In hotels and in amusements and recreation,job growth was above average in June; there had been littlegrowth in either industry in May. Health services experi-enced an above-average employment increase of 15,000, fol-lowing 2 months of sluggish growth. Employment in engi-neering and management services continued on a stronggrowth trend.
Retail trade added 49,000 jobs over the month, with anincrease of 35,000 in eating and drinking places. Duringthe first 6 months of the year, retail employment growthaveraged 32,000 a month, about in line with the monthlyaverage for all of 1999. Employment in miscellaneous retailestablishments also rose over the month, while job lossescontinued in department stores and in building materialsand garden supplies stores.
Employment in transportation and public utilities rose by18,000 in June, following a rare decline in May. Jobs addedin communications and air transportation accounted fornearly all of the June growth.
In wholesale trade, employment declined for the secondconsecutive month. For the first 6 months of 2000, averagemonthly employment gains in the industry were less thanhalf of the average monthly increase in 1999.
Finance, insurance, and real estate continued to lose jobsin June. After 4-1/2 years of steady growth, employment inthese industries has fallen by 20,000 thus far this year, in-cluding losses in commercial banks (14,000), savings insti-tutions (6,000), mortgage banks (25,000), and insurance(18,000). In contrast, security brokerages added 30,000 jobsover the first half of the year, including a gain of 7,000 in

June. Real estate employment declined by 10,000 in June,offsetting nearly all of the increase during the first 5 monthsof the year.
Federal Government employment fell by 197,000 in June,as 190,000 temporary census jobs ended. Small job declinescontinued elsewhere in the Federal Government.
In the goods-producing sector, employment in manufac-turing was little changed in June. Since October 1999, netjob gains in durable goods manufacturing (38,000) have beenlargely offset by job losses in nondurable goods (34,000). InJune, durable goods added 14,000 jobs, while nondurableemployment fell by 6,000. Within durables, job gains con-tinued in electronic components and fabricated metals. In-dustrial machinery and autos also added jobs in June, butthe recent trend in these industries is less clear. Employ-ment declines resumed in aircraft manufacturing. Withinnondurables, job losses continued in apparel and in textiles.Employment rose in food products and in printing and pub-lishing; both industries appear to have returned to a slowgrowth trend.
Construction employment was essentially unchanged inJune. Job growth in the industry averaged 20,000 a monthin the first half of 2000, compared with 25,000 a month inall of 1999. Mining employment edged up in June. Since
August 1999, the oil and gas component of mining has added19,000 jobs. These gains have been partly offset by declinesin coal mining.
Weekly hoursThe average workweek for production or nonsupervisoryworkers on private nonfarm payrolls edged up by 0.1 hourin June to 34.5 hours, seasonally adjusted. The manufactur-ing workweek increased by 0.2 hour to 41.6 hours. Manu-facturing overtime edged up by 0.1 hour to 4.6 hours. (Seetable B-8.)
The index of aggregate weekly hours of production ornonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose by0.3 percent to 151.2 (1982=100), seasonally adjusted. Themanufacturing index was up by 0.4 percent to 106.3. (Seetable B-9.)
Hourly and weekly earningsAverage hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisoryworkers on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 5 cents inJune to $13.71, seasonally adjusted. Over the month, aver-age weekly earnings rose by 0.7 percent to $473.00. Overthe year, both average hourly earnings and average weeklyearnings grew by 3.6 percent. (See table B-ll.)

New Seasonal Adjustment Factorsfor Household Data Series
Robert J. Mclntire
Semiannually, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishesthe factors to be used during the following 6 monthsfor seasonal adjustment of the major labor force series.Table 1 presents the seasonal adjustment factors for the 12major labor force components for the period July-December2000. The factors for these components for the first 6 monthsof 2000 were published in the January 2000 issue ofEmployment and Earnings. The 12 seasonally adjusted serieswhich result from the application of these factors are usedin the computation of the seasonally adjusted figures for thenational overall levels of labor force, employment, andunemployment and for the overall unemployment rate.
The new seasonal factors have been extrapolated usingthe X-ll ARIMA program with data from January 1990
Robert J. Mclntire is an economist and Chief of the Division of DataDevelopment and Publications, Office of Employment and UnemploymentStatistics, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Telephone: (202) 691-6345; email:McIntire_R@ bls.gov
through June 2000 for each series. The ARIMA models usedwere the same as those used earlier in the year for theextrapolation of the factors for January through June; theywere identified in the January 2000 issue of this publication.The historical seasonally adjusted data, including those forthe first 6 months of 2000, will not be revised until thebeginning of 2001.
Because of the changes introduced at the beginning of1994, 1997, and 1999 in the survey and the processing pro-cedures on which the labor force series estimates are based,1
prior adjustment factors were used in these X-ll ARIMAruns to link the pre-1994, pre-1997, and/or pre-1999 datawith the subsequent data for purposes of seasonal adjust-ment. Without prior adjustment, those changes could havecaused distortion in the seasonal decomposition. The pre-
'The changes were described in articles in the February 1994, 1997,and 1999 issues, respectively, of this publication.

1 No prior adjustment was done.2 For this series, the factors are pre-1997 and pre-1999. The first factor shows
the adjustment of pre-1997 data relative to subsequent data; the second factorshows the adjustment of pre-1999 data relative to subsequent data. The actual
net adjustment to pre-1997 data is the product of the two factors.3 For this series, the prior adjusted period was pre-1999 rather than pre-
1994.

1994, pre-1997, and pre-1999 prior adjustment factors usedin these runs were the same as those used in the runs thatprovided the factors for January through June. The prioradjustment factors for the 12 major components are shownin table 1 alongside the seasonal factors.
More detailed information on the seasonal adjustmentprocedures and the revision of historical data is included in"Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Labor Force Series,"Employment and Earnings, January 2000.
Data for any of the several hundred seasonally adjusted
labor force series and the July-December 2000 seasonaladjustment factors for any of the other independentlyadjusted series—there are about 170 in addition to the 12major components—may be obtained from BLS uponrequest.
