 Employment in manufacturing changed little in June (+14,000) and 

has shown little net change so far this year. In June, employment in 

durable goods changed little (+3,000), while nondurables added 

11,000 jobs. Within nondurable goods, food manufacturing added 

13,000 jobs. 

 

 The 1-month manufacturing diffusion index increased by 15.2 

points to 55.1. The value above 50 indicates that more manufacturing 

industries are adding jobs than losing.

hours for all employees and ticked down 0.1 hour to 41.7 hours for 

employees.

 

 Employment in food manufacturing increased by 13,000 in June,

reaching an employment trough in October 2010, the industry has 

added 92,000 jobs. The majority of the job growth in June occurred

 Leisure and hospitality employment grew in June (+59,000), after little 

change in May (-3,000). Performing arts and spectator sports added 14,000 

jobs in June, offsetting weakness in May. Employment in food services and 

drinking places changed little in June (+22,000). 

 So far this year, leisure and hospitality has added an average 27,000 jobs 

per month, after adding about 37,000 jobs per month in 2015. Most of the 

slower growth has been driven by food services, which added an average 

18,000 jobs per month in 2016 and 30,000 per month in 2015.
