THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: JUNE 2002 The unemployment rate was essentially unchanged in June, at 5.9 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Payroll employment was little changed for the fourth month in a row, and none of the major industry groups showed any signifi- cant change. Average hourly earnings grew by 6 cents in June, following 5 months of small increases. Unemployment (Household Survey Data) The number of unemployed persons (8.4 million) and the unemployment rate (5.9 percent) were essentially unchanged in June for the second month in a row. Both measures, however, were higher in the second quar- ter of this year than in the first quarter. (See table A.) In June, jobless rates for adult men (5.4 percent), adult women (5.1 percent), teenagers (17.6 percent), whites (5.2 percent), blacks (10.7 percent), and Hispanics (7.4 percent) showed little or no change from the previous month. (See tables A-1 and A-2.) The number of persons unemployed for 15 weeks or more increased in June to 3.1 million. The number of such persons has grown by nearly 700,000 so far this year and, since June 2001, has about doubled. (See table A-6.) Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) The civilian labor force fell by 293,000 to 142.5 million in June, after seasonal adjustment, and the labor force participation rate declined to 66.6 percent. Over the year, however, the labor force has increased by about 1 million. (See table A-1.) The number of employed persons decreased over the month by 364,000 to 134.1 million, seasonally adjusted, while the employment-population ratio fell to 62.7 percent. Total employment in June was nearly 1 million lower than a year earlier and the employment-population ratio was 1.1 percentage points lower. (See table A-1.) Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) About 1.4 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally attached to the labor force in June, up from 1.2 million a year earlier. These individuals reported that they wanted and were available for work and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed, however, because they had not actively searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. The number of discouraged workers was 337,000 in June. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, were not currently looking for work specifically because they believed no jobs were available for them. (See table A-10.) - 2 - Table A.

In contrast, payroll employ- ment had fallen by an average of 160,000 jobs a month from the start of the economic downturn in March 2001 through February 2002. (See table B-1.) Employment in manufacturing declined by 23,000 in June. Job losses in the industry have moderated substantially since the beginning of the year. Between March 2001 and January 2002, manufacturing had lost an average of 115,000 jobs a month. By comparison, in February and March, losses averaged 63,000 a month and, from April through June, 24,000 a month. The June losses occurred primarily within durable goods manufacturing, particularly in elec- tronic and electrical equipment, primary metals, lumber and wood products, and aircraft and parts manufacturing. In the nondurable goods sector, job losses continued in printing and publishing. Construction employment edged up over the month. From March 2001 through May 2002, the construction industry lost 243,000 jobs, a smaller decline than in prior economic downturns. Employment in mining was little changed in June. Since its recent peak in September 2001, the industry has lost 14,000 jobs, with most of the losses in oil and gas extraction. Employment in the services industry was little changed in June fol- lowing 3 months of job gains. These prior gains were fueled, in large part, by job increases in the help supply industry. In June, however, employment in help supply was essentially flat, after seasonal adjustment. Employment in health services rose by 34,000, mainly in hospitals. In contrast, engineering and management services lost 21,000 jobs over the month. In retail trade, employment declined in car dealerships, and department stores lost jobs for the second consecutive month. Employment in eating and drinking places was essentially unchanged over the month; the industry has lost 186,000 jobs since its most recent peak in July 2001. Transportation and public utilities employment was essentially unchanged over the month, after seasonal adjustment. Job losses in communications partly offset job gains in local and interurban passenger transit and in air transportation. In finance, employment increased in mortgage brokerages (7,000) and in security and commodity brokerages (4,000). The non-education component of local government added 20,000 jobs. Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data) The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls ticked up by 0.1 hour in June to 34.3 hours, seasonally adjusted. The manufacturing workweek was up by 0.2 hour to 41.1 hours, and factory overtime edged up by 0.1 hour to 4.3 hours. Since November, the fac- tory workweek has increased by 0.7 hour and factory overtime by 0.5 hour. (See table B-2.) The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 0.3 percent in June to 148.6 (1982=100). The manufacturing index also was up by 0.3 percent over the month. (See table B-5.) - 4 - Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data) Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 6 cents in June to $14.76, seasonally adjusted. June's gain brought the total increase for the second quarter to 11 cents. This was greater than the increase of 9 cents in the first quarter, but less than the 2001 average quarterly increase of 13 cents. Average weekly earn- ings rose by 0.7 percent over the month to $506.27. Over the year, average hourly earnings increased by 3.3 percent and average weekly earnings grew by 3.6 percent. (See table B-3.) ______________________________ The Employment Situation for July 2002 is scheduled to be released on Friday, August 2, at 8:30 A.M. (EDT). - 5 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Upcoming Changes to National Nonfarm Payroll Series in June 2003 | | | | NAICS conversion. The nonfarm payroll series, produced from the | | Current Employment Statistics (CES) program, will be converted from | | the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) basis to the 2002 | | North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) basis with the | | June 6, 2003, release of May 2003 estimates. The NAICS conversion | | involves major definitional changes to many of the currently publish-| | ed SIC-based series. After the conversion to NAICS, SIC-based | | series will no longer be produced or published. Historical time | | series will be reconstructed as part of the NAICS conversion pro- | | cess. All published series will have a NAICS-based history extend- | | ing back to at least January 1990. For total nonfarm and other | | high-level aggregates, NAICS history will begin in January 1939, | | the current start date for these series. For more detailed series, | | the starting date will vary depending on the scope of the defini- | | tional changes between SIC and NAICS. The NAICS-based reconstruc- | | tion effort will cover all CES published data types: all employees, | | women workers, production workers, average weekly hours, average | | hourly earnings, and derivative series (for example, indexes of ag- | | gregate weekly hours). | | | | Completion of the CES sample redesign. June 6, 2003, also will | | mark the completion of the CES sample redesign phase-in. The rede- | | sign converts the CES from a quota-based sample to a probability- | | based sample. In June 2003, the services industries will be con- | | verted to the new sample design; all other private sector indus- | | tries have already been converted. The final stage of sample re- | | design phase-in may result in level shifts for average weekly hours, | | average hourly earnings, production worker, and women worker series. | | New levels for these series are being computed from NAICS/probabi- | | lity sample-based averages. | | | | Concurrent seasonal adjustment. Also beginning in June 2003, the | | CES program will convert from its current practice of updating sea- | | sonal factors twice a year to updating them every month. Concurrent | | seasonal adjustment is technically superior to semiannual updates be-| | cause it uses all available monthly estimates, including those for | | the current month, thereby eliminating the need to project the sea- | | sonal factors. With the introduction of concurrent seasonal adjust- | | ment, BLS will no longer publish seasonal factors for CES national | | estimates. | | | | Change to federal government series. The CES series for federal | | government employment will be revised slightly in scope and defini- | | tion due to a change in source data and estimation methods. The cur-| | rent national series is an end-of-month federal employee count pro- | | duced by the Office of Personnel Management, and it excludes some | | workers, mostly employees who work in Department of Defense-owned | | establishments such as military base commissaries. Beginning in | | June 2003, the CES national series will include these workers. | | Also, federal government employment will be estimated from a sample | | of federal establishments, will be benchmarked annually to counts | | from unemployment insurance tax records, and will reflect employee | | counts as of the pay period including the 12th of the month, consis- | | tent with other CES industry series. The historical time series for | | federal government employment will be revised to reflect these | | changes. | | | | Further information on upcoming changes to CES data series is | | available through the BLS public database on the Internet, via the | | CES homepage at http://www.bls.gov/ces/, or by calling 202-691-6555. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - 6 - 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 conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for 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. In June 2002, the sample included about 300,000 establishments employing about 37 million people. For both surveys, the data for a given month relate to a particular week or pay period. In the household survey, the reference week is generally the calendar week that contains the 12th day of the month. In the establishment survey, the reference period is the pay period including the 12th, which may or may not correspond directly to the calendar week. Coverage, definitions, and differences between surveys Household survey. The sample is selected to reflect the entire civilian noninstitutional population. Based on responses to a series of questions on work and job search activities, each person 16 years and over in a sample household is classified as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. People are classified as employed if they did any work at all as paid employees during the reference week; worked in their own business, profession, or on their own farm; or worked without pay at least 15 hours in a family business or farm. People are also counted as employed if they were temporarily absent from their jobs because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management disputes, or personal reasons. People are classified as unemployed if they meet all of the following criteria: They had no employment during the reference week; they were available for work at that time; and they made specific efforts to find employment sometime during the 4-week period ending with the reference week. Persons laid off from a job and expecting recall need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. The unemployment data derived from the household survey in no way depend upon the eligibility for or receipt of unemployment insurance benefits. The civilian labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed persons. Those not classified as employed or unemployed are not in the labor force. The unemployment rate is the number unemployed as a percent of the labor force. The labor force participation rate is the labor force as a percent of the population, and the employment-population ratio is the employed as a percent of the population. Establishment survey. The sample establishments are drawn from private nonfarm businesses such as factories, offices, and stores, as well as Federal, State, and local government entities. Employees on nonfarm payrolls are those who received pay for any part of the reference pay period, including persons on paid leave. Persons are counted in each job they hold. Hours and earnings data are for private businesses and relate only to production workers in the goods-producing sector and nonsupervisory workers in the service-producing sector. - 7 - Differences in employment estimates. The numerous conceptual and methodological differences between the household and establishment surveys result in important distinctions in the employment estimates derived from the surveys. Among these are: --The household survey includes agricultural workers, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, and private household workers among the employed. These groups are excluded from the establishment survey. --The household survey includes people on unpaid leave among the employed. The establishment survey does not. --The household survey is limited to workers 16 years of age and older. The establishment survey is not limited by age. --The household survey has no duplication of individuals, because individuals are counted only once, even if they hold more than one job. In the establishment survey, employees working at more than one job and thus 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. The effect of such seasonal variation can be very large; seasonal fluctuations 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. For example, the large number of youth entering the labor force each June is likely to obscure any other changes that have taken place relative to 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. In both the household and establishment surveys, most seasonally adjusted series are independently adjusted. However, the adjusted series for many major estimates, such as total payroll employment, employment in most major industry divisions, total employment, and unemployment are computed by aggregating independently adjusted component series. For example, total unemployment is derived by summing the adjusted series for four major age- sex components; this differs from the unemployment estimate that would be obtained by directly adjusting the total or by combining the duration, reasons, or more detailed age categories. 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 July-December - 8 - 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. Reliability of the estimates Statistics based on the household and establishment surveys are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. When a sample rather than the entire population is surveyed, there is a chance that the sample estimates may differ from the "true" population values they represent. The exact difference, or sampling error, varies depending on the particular sample selected, and this variability is measured by the standard error of the estimate. There is about a 90-percent chance, or level of confidence, that an estimate based on a sample will differ by no more than 1.6 standard errors from the "true" population value because of sampling error. BLS analyses are generally conducted at the 90-percent level of confidence. For example, the confidence interval for the monthly change in total employment from the household survey is on the order of plus or minus 292,000. Suppose the estimate of total employment increases by 100,000 from one month to the next. The 90-percent confidence interval on the monthly change would range from -192,000 to 392,000 (100,000 +/- 292,000). These figures do not mean that the sample results are off by these magnitudes, but rather that there is about a 90-percent chance that the "true" over-the-month change lies within this interval. Since this range includes values of less than zero, we could not say with confidence that employment had, in fact, increased. If, however, the reported employment rise was half a million, then all of the values within the 90-percent confidence interval would be greater than zero. In this case, it is likely (at least a 90-percent chance) that an employment rise had, in fact, occurred. The 90-percent confidence interval for the monthly change in unemployment is +/- 273,000, and for the monthly change in the unemployment rate it is +/- .19 percentage point. In general, estimates involving many individuals or establishments have lower standard errors (relative to the size of the estimate) than estimates which are based on a small number of observations. The precision of estimates is also improved when the data are cumulated over time such as for quarterly and annual averages. The seasonal adjustment process can also improve the stability of the monthly estimates. The household and establishment surveys are also affected by nonsampling error. Nonsampling errors can occur for many reasons, including the failure to sample a segment of the population, inability to obtain information for all respondents in the sample, inability or unwillingness of respondents to provide correct information on a timely basis, mistakes made by respondents, and errors made in the collection or processing of the data. For example, in the establishment survey, estimates for the most recent 2 months are based on substantially incomplete returns; for this reason, these estimates are labeled preliminary in the tables. It is only after two successive revisions to a monthly estimate, when nearly all sample reports have been received, that the estimate is considered final. Another major source of nonsampling error in the establishment survey is the inability to capture, on a timely basis, employment generated by new firms. To correct for this systematic underestimation of employment growth (and other sources of error), a process known as bias adjustment is included in the survey's estimating procedures, whereby a specified number of jobs is added to the monthly sample-based change. The size of the - 9 - monthly bias adjustment is based largely on past relationships between the sample-based estimates of employment and the total counts of employment described below. The sample-based estimates from the establishment survey are adjusted once a year (on a lagged basis) to universe counts of payroll employment obtained from administrative records of the unemployment insurance program. The difference between the March sample-based employment estimates and the March universe counts is known as a benchmark revision, and serves as a rough proxy for total survey error. The new benchmarks also incorporate changes in the classification of industries. Over the past decade, the benchmark revision for total nonfarm employment has averaged 0.3 percent, ranging from zero to 0.7 percent.

NOTE: This range of alternative measures of labor underutilization replaces the U1-U7 range published in table A-7 of this release prior to 1994. Marginally attached workers are persons who currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that they want and are available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the recent past. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related reason for not currently looking for a job. Persons employed part time for economic reasons are those who want and are available for full-time work but have had to settle for a part-time schedule.
