to contain it. Since February, nonfarm 

employment has declined by 14.7 million.

 Leisure and hospitality accounted for the 

largest share of the June employment 

increase. Large job gains also occurred in retail 

trade, education and health services, other 

services, manufacturing, and professional and 

business services. 

 The employment change for April revised 

down from -20,687,000 to -20,787,000, while 

the change for May revised up from 

+2,509,000 to +2,699,000. On net, 

employment revised up 90,000 over the 2 

months.

 In June, average hourly earnings for all 

employees on private, nonfarm payrolls fell by 

35 cents, or 1.2 percent, and are up 5.0 

percent over the year. Average weekly hours,

 Construction employment increased by 

158,000 in June. Strength in specialty trade 

contractors (+135,000) and construction of 

buildings (+32,000) was partly offset by a 

loss of 10,000 jobs in heavy and civil 

engineering construction. 

 The employment gains represent a 

continued rebound from losses earlier in the 

year and follow strength in residential 

building permits and new home sales in May. 

However, in June, construction employment 

is down by 472,000 since February.

CES Highlights Release Date: July 2, 2020
 Manufacturing employment increased by 356,000 in June, with both 

durable goods (+290,000) and nondurable goods (+66,000) adding jobs.

 In June, the manufacturing 1-month diffusion index increased to 77.0 from

70.4 in May. A value over 50 indicates that more manufacturing industries 

are adding jobs than are losing jobs. While job gains have been widespread 

over the past 2 months, employment in manufacturing has declined by a net 

757,000 since February.

 Employment in motor vehicles and parts increased by 196,000 in June, 

following a gain of 43,000 in May. Despite the gain in June, employment in 

motor vehicles and parts has declined by 121,000 since February.

 Average hourly earnings for all employees in manufacturing declined by 45 

cents over the month, but follows large swings in hourly earnings over the 

prior 3 months. Average hourly earnings of all employees are 33 cents higher 

than in February. Average hourly earnings of production workers fell by 11 

cents in June. The June declines in earnings largely reflect the return of 

lower-earning employees to payrolls. 

 Average weekly hours of all employees rose 0.5 hour in June to 39.2 

hours. For production workers, the average workweek rose 0.6 hour in June 

to 40.0 hours.

 In June, employment in transportation and warehousing rose by 

99,000, after decreasing by 598,000 over the prior 3 months. Job gains in 

June were driven by warehousing and storage (+61,000) and couriers and 

messengers (+21,000).

 The gains in warehousing and storage reflect a rebound in demand for 

warehouse space in the aftermath of coronavirus-related closures. 

Warehousing employment is 22,000 below its most recent high in March.

 Among the other component industries, truck transportation (+8,000) 

and support activities for transportation (+7,000) added jobs, while air 

transportation (-4,000) lost jobs over the month. Over the past 3 months, 

air transportation has lost 133,000 jobs, and employment is at its lowest 

level in the history of the series, which begins in 1990.

 Employment in leisure and hospitality rose by 2.1 million in June, after 

growing by 1.4 million in May. Since February, however, the industry has 

lost 4.8 million jobs. 

 All three major components, led by food services and drinking places, 

added jobs over the month as consumer confidence began to recover.

 Average hourly earnings for all leisure and hospitality workers fell 40 

cents in June. This change was driven largely by the return of lowerearning employees. Despite large monthly swings in the series, hourly 

earnings are up 14 cents since February.

 Employment in food services and drinking places increased by 1.5 

million in June. This increase was preceded by a notable upswing in food 

services sales. Since February, the industry has lost a net 3.1 million jobs.

 Employment in other services grew 

by 357,000 in June, following a gain of 

261,000 in May. Gains over these 2

months represent a recovery of about 45 

percent of the 1.4-million jobs lost in 

March and April.

 The largest gain in June occurred in 

personal and laundry services (+264,000)

and follows the easing of pandemicrelated restrictions on barbershops, 

hairs salons, and other establishments 

whose business involves close personal 

contact.
