Manufacturing

CES Highlights Release Date: July 5, 2013

 In June, manufacturing employment 

changed little (-6,000), in line with the prior 3-

month average. 

 The 1-month diffusion index of 

manufacturing employment fell from 48.1 in 

May to 46.3 in June, the third consecutive 

month the index was below 50. The diffusion 

index measures the dispersion of employment 

change in manufacturing, with a value below 

50 indicating that more manufacturing 

industries are losing jobs than adding them.

 In June, the factory workweek for 

production employees was unchanged for the 

third consecutive month. The factory 

workweek is considered a leading economic 

indicator. The unchanged workweek, combined 

with a decline in production employment, 

resulted in a 0.2 percent decrease in the June 

index of aggregate weekly hours for production 

employees.

NAICS 335 – Electrical equipment and 

appliances

 Employment in electrical equipment and 

appliances manufacturing fell by 3,000 in June; 

job losses were spread throughout the industry. 

Since reaching an employment peak in March 

2012, this industry has lost 10,000 jobs.

CES Highlights Release Date: July 5, 2013
 Retail trade employment increased by 

37,000 in June, continuing its upward 

trend. This employment increase was 

primarily due to gains in motor vehicle 

and parts dealers (+8,000) and in building 

material and garden supply stores 

(+9,000). Overall, retail trade 

employment has grown by 300,000 over 

the year.

 Recent retail-related indicators have 

been generally positive. Census Bureau

data shows retail sales for May increased 

by 0.6 percent and by 4.3 percent over the 

year. Over the month, sales gains in 

motor vehicle and parts dealers were the 

largest movers. Automotive sales in June, 

as measured by MotorIntelligence, 

increased to an annualized 15.9 million

vehicles. But according to the U.S. 

Energy Information Administration, the 

per-gallon price of gasoline in June was 

up 2 cents from May. The Conference 

Board reported that the Consumer 

Confidence Index rose in June, reaching 

its highest level since January 2008.

grew by 75,000 in June. The gains came 

primarily from food services and 

drinking places, but modest gains also 

occurred in amusements, gambling, and 

recreation. 

 The job growth in leisure and 

hospitality coincides with a positive 

movement in the Consumer Confidence 

Index, which jumped 7.1 points in June 

to reach a new 5-year high (source: The 

Conference Board).

 The pace of hiring in leisure and 

hospitality has accelerated in 2013. The 

industry has added an average of 55,000 

jobs per month since the beginning of the 

year, compared to an average of 30,000 

per month in 2012. 11,000
