Employment and UnemploymentDevelopments, August 1996

Unemployment declined in August, and nonfarm payrollemployment continued to increase. The Nation's jobless ratefell from 5.4 to 5.1 percent. The number of jobs on nonfarmpayrolls rose by 250,000 in August; private sector employ-ment increased by 173,000. Average hourly earnings wereup by 6 cents over the month.

UnemploymentBoth the number of unemployed persons and the unem-

ployment rate fell in August. The number of persons whowere unemployed, at 6.8 million, was 467,000 below July'slevel. The unemployment rate, at 5.1 percent, was 0.3 per-centage point lower than in July. The August decline in un-employment occurred primarily among workers 20 to 24 yearsold, whose jobless rate fell from 9.7 to 8.3 percent, and amongthose 55 years and over, whose rate declined from 3.8 to 3.1percent. (See tables A-3 and A-9.)

Among the unemployed, both the number of persons whohad been looking for work for less than 5 weeks and the num-ber who had been looking from 5 to 14 weeks fell in August.Unemployment among persons who had lost their job alsodeclined substantially over the month. (See tables A- l l andA-12.)

Total employment and the labor forceTotal employment was about unchanged in August at 127.1

million. At 63.3 percent, the proportion of the population 16years and over with jobs (the employment-population ratio)also was little different from the July figure. Over the pastyear, total employment has increased by 2.2 million and theemployment-population ratio has risen by half a percentagepoint. The civilian labor force edged down in August to 133.9million, after expanding by a half million in July. (Seetable A-3.)

The number of persons who held more than one job inAugust was 7.5 million (not seasonally adjusted). Thesemultiple jobholders comprised 5.9 percent of the total em-ployed. (See table A-35.)

Persons not in the labor forceAbout 1.4 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were

marginally attached to the labor force in August—that is,they wanted and were available for work but had stoppedlooking for jobs sometime in the prior 12 months. Of this

total, discouraged workers—those who were no longer look-ing specifically because they believed no jobs were avail-able for them—numbered 415,000. (See table A-34.)

Industry payroll employmentNonfarm payroll employment rose by 250,000 in August

to 120.0 million, seasonally adjusted, about in line with theaverage monthly gain so far this year. Employment in ser-vices rose by 81,000 in August, following a gain of 74,000in July. During the first half of 1996, services added anaverage of 120,000 jobs per month. The recent slowdownwas in part related to weakness in health services. Jobgrowth in health services has averaged just 8,000 per monthsince May, following an average monthly gain of 29,000jobs during the first 5 months of the year. Services employ-ment in August also was held down by a decline of 16,000jobs in private educational services. This decline followedlarge gains in June and July. In August, strong job growthcontinued in business services, particularly help supply andcomputer services, and in engineering and managementservices. (See table B-3.)

Government employment rose by 77,000 in August.Nearly two-thirds of the gain took place in local education,which has had three consecutive large employment in-creases, after seasonal adjustment. The magnitude of theseasonal swings in local education employment, the yearlyvariation in the timing of school openings and closings,and the recent movement toward more year-round educa-tion, all make precise seasonal adjustment of the job countfor local education difficult during the summer and autumn.Federal Government employment continued to decline inAugust; since its most recent peak in May 1992, job losseshave totaled 236,000.

Both finance and real estate continued to add jobs inAugust. Transportation and public utilities employmentrose by 15,000 over the month, although there were un-usual movements in some of the transportation components.Trucking lost 7,000 jobs, while air transportation had a largeincrease of 9,000. Communications also continued its stronggrowth pattern, adding 7,000 jobs.

Retail trade gained just 21,000 jobs in August, after hav-ing added an average of 80,000 jobs per month over theApril-July period. Employment growth in department andfood stores was particularly strong, and most other retail


industries added workers as well. These increases, how-ever, were partly offset by a decline of 28,000 in eating anddrinking places, which followed a gain of 70,000 over theprior 2 months. Wholesale trade added only 7,000 jobsover the month, continuing the trend toward slower growththat began in March.

Manufacturing employment increased by 25,000 inAugust, offsetting a decline of similar magnitude in July.The largest over-the-month increase was in motor vehicleand equipment manufacturing, where workers returnedfrom unusually widespread July vacation shutdowns. Con-tinued gains in fabricated metals and aircraft were nearlyoffset by losses in electronic equipment. Withinnondurables, job growth continued in rubber and miscella-neous plastics. Apparel experienced a large decline inAugust, and has lost nearly 10 percent of its jobs over thepast year. Elsewhere in the goods-producing sector, em-ployment in construction was little changed in August, af-ter rising by 203,000 during the first 7 months of the year.

Weekly hours

The average workweek for production or nonsupervisoryworkers on private nonfarm payrolls inched up 0.1 hour inAugust to 34.4 hours, seasonally adjusted. The manufac-turing workweek also edged up 0.1 hour to 41.7 hours, andfactory overtime was unchanged at 4.4 hours. (See table B-8.)

The index of aggregate weekly hours of private produc-tion or nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls rose0.6 percent, on a seasonally adjusted basis, to 136.9(1982=100) in August. The manufacturing index edged up0.4 percent to 106.2. (See table B-9.)

Hourly and weekly earningsAverage hourly earnings of private production or

nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls rose 6 cents inAugust to $11.87, seasonally adjusted. Average weekly earn-ings increased by 0.8 percent to $408.33. Over the pastyear, both average hourly earnings and average weekly earn-ings have risen by 3.6 percent. (See table B-ll.)

Publication Suspended for Selected Establishment-Based Earnings Series

Effective with the July 1996 issue of Employment and Earnings, BLS suspended publication of itsaverage hourly and weekly earnings series (table B-15) for March 1995 forward for the following manu-facturing industries.

1987Industry SIC

Code

Engines and turbinesTurbines and turbine generator setsHousehold appliancesHousehold refrigerators and freezersAircraft and partsAircraft engines and engine parts

351351136336323723724

BLS discovered that data for some establishments in these industries were not used in the estimates forseveral months in 1995 due to problems associated with the conversion to the Electronic Data Interchange(EDI) reporting system.

These series will be recalculated from March 1995 forward to incorporate the omitted data and publishedin Employment and Earnings. We estimate that the recalculations will be completed by the end of 1996.
