 In June, manufacturing employment continued to trend up (+16,000) for 

the eleventh straight month. Over the month, durable goods added 17,000 

jobs, while nondurable goods employment was flat. Since the manufacturing 

employment trough in February 2010, durable goods has added 674,000 jobs 

and nondurable goods employment has shown little net change.

 The 1-month diffusion index fell to 61.1 in June from 63.6 in May. The 

diffusion index measures the dispersion of employment change in 

manufacturing, with a value above 50 indicating that more manufacturing 

industries are adding jobs than losing them. June marks the twelfth 

consecutive month that the index registered above 50.

 Within durable goods manufacturing, transportation equipment accounted

for about half of the jobs added over the month, while computers and 

peripheral equipment added 3,000 jobs.

 In June, average weekly hours for production employees ticked down 0.1 

hour to 42.1 hours and average weekly hours for all employees was 

unchanged at 41.1 hours.

 Recent manufacturing-related indicators have been mixed. In June, the 

Purchasing Manager’s Index (Institute for Supply Management) registered 

the 13th consecutive month of expanding economic activity in the 

manufacturing sector. In May, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that new 

orders of durable goods decreased 1.0 percent, following three consecutive 

monthly increases.
