 Mining and logging lost 18,000 jobs in 

February. Support activities for mining 

accounted for 16,000 of the job loss. 

These employment declines are 

consistent with the number of active oil

rigs, which had declined to roughly 500 

domestically, from 1,267 in February 

2015.

CES Highlights Release Date: March 4, 2016
 Manufacturing employment changed little in February (-16,000). Within 

durable goods, employment in fabricated metal product manufacturing 

declined in February (-10,000), more than offsetting a gain of 6,000 in 

January. This industry has posted job losses in 9 of the last 12 months, losing 

an average 3,000 per month over the year. Nondurable goods employment 

was essentially unchanged in February (-4,000).

 The manufacturing diffusion index fell to 48.7 from 59.5 in January. 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. 

 In February, average weekly hours in manufacturing were unchanged for 

all employees and for production employees.

 Employment in retail trade increased by 55,000 in February, after a 

62,000 increase in January. During the past 6 months, the industry has 

added 203,000 jobs. Led by food and beverage stores, employment in 

nearly all the component industries in retail trade trended upwards 

over the month. February was the second month of the holiday layoff 

period with many retail industries incurring a smaller-than-average 

layoff.

 Employment in food and beverage stores increased by 15,000 in 

February; however, employment has changed little over the past 12 

months. Over the month, the majority of job growth occurred in 

grocery stores. 58

CES Highlights Release Date: March 4, 2016
 For the second consecutive month, the over-the-month change in 

professional and business services (+23,000) was below its prior-12 month 

average. The weakness in both months can be attributed to administrative 

and waste services, more specifically to temporary help services (-10,000 

in February). Employment in management of companies and enterprises 

(+7,000) and in professional and technical services (+18,000) continued to 

trend up.

 Within professional and technical services, other professional and 

technical services, such as veterinary offices and photography services, led 

the gains, adding 8,000 jobs. Architectural and engineering services 

(+6,000), computer systems design and related services (+4,000), and 

management and technical consulting services (+3,000) continued their 

upward employment trends.
