 Among other component industries in manufacturing, primary metals 

employment declined by 3,000 in October, bringing its 6-month net loss 

to 7,000. Food manufacturing added 8,000 jobs in October, its largest 1-

month gain since August 2017. 

 In October, the 1-month diffusion index for manufacturing rose 2.6 

points to 43.4, and the 6-month diffusion index fell 10.6 points to 44.7. A 

value below 50 indicates more manufacturing industries are losing jobs 

than are adding them.

 Average weekly hours of all employees in manufacturing fell 0.2 hour 

to 40.3 hours in October and have declined 0.7 hour since reaching a 

peak in August 2018. The average workweek of production employees 

fell 0.1 hour to 41.4 hours in October and has declined 1 hour since 

reaching a peak in April 2018. Average weekly overtime hours for all 

employees and for production employees were both flat in October, but 

both were down 0.5 hour since reaching peaks in April 2018.

 The overall weakness in October employment followed a second 

consecutive contraction in the Institute for Supply Management’s 

Purchasing Managers’ Index in September.

CES Highlights Release Date: November 1, 2019
 In October, leisure and hospitality employment expanded by 61,000. 

After accounting for revisions in August and September, the industry 

has added 154,000 jobs over the past 3 months. Despite robust hiring, 

consumer confidence has moderated.

 The tightening labor market is exerting upward pressure on wages for 

lower-skill workers across the country, including those in hospitality, 

accoring to The Beige Book’s October 2019 edition. Average hourly 

earnings in leisure and hospitality have risen by 3.4 percent over the 

past 12 months.

 In October, employment growth in leisure and hospitality was 

concentrated in food services and drinking places, which added 48,000 

jobs.
