THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: JUNE 2002

The unemployment rate was essentially unchanged in June, at 5.9 percent, the Bureau of Labor

Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Payroll employment was little changed for

the fourth month in a row, and none of the major industry groups showed any significant change. Average

hourly earnings grew by 6 cents in June, following 5 months of small increases.

Unemployment (Household Survey Data)

The number of unemployed persons (8.4 million) and the unemployment rate (5.9 percent) were essentially unchanged in June for the second month in a row. Both measures, however, were higher in the second

quarter of this year than in the first quarter. (See table A.) In June, jobless rates for adult men (5.4 percent), adult women (5.1 percent), teenagers (17.6 percent), whites (5.2 percent), blacks (10.7 percent),

and Hispanics (7.4 percent) showed little or no change from the previous month. (See tables A-1 and A-2.)

The number of persons unemployed for 15 weeks or more increased in June to 3.1 million. The number of such persons has grown by nearly 700,000 so far this year and, since June 2001, has about doubled.

(See table A-6.)

Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)

The civilian labor force fell by 293,000 to 142.5 million in June, after seasonal adjustment, and the labor

force participation rate declined to 66.6 percent. Over the year, however, the labor force has increased by

about 1 million. (See table A-1.)

The number of employed persons decreased over the month by 364,000 to 134.1 million, seasonally

adjusted, while the employment-population ratio fell to 62.7 percent. Total employment in June was nearly

1 million lower than a year earlier and the employment-population ratio was 1.1 percentage points lower.

(See table A-1.)

Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)

About 1.4 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally attached to the labor force in June,

up from 1.2 million a year earlier. These individuals reported that they wanted and were available for work

and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed, however, because they had not actively searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. The number

of discouraged workers was 337,000 in June. Discouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached,

were not currently looking for work specifically because they believed no jobs were available for them.

(See table A-10.)

Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)

Total nonfarm payroll employment, at 130.7 million, was little changed in June (+36,000) for the fourth

consecutive month. In contrast, payroll employment had fallen by an average of 160,000 jobs a month from

the start of the economic downturn in March 2001 through February 2002. (See table B-1.)

Employment in manufacturing declined by 23,000 in June. Job losses in the industry have moderated

substantially since the beginning of the year. Between March 2001 and January 2002, manufacturing had

lost an average of 115,000 jobs a month. By comparison, in February and March, losses averaged 63,000

a month and, from April through June, 24,000 a month. The June losses occurred primarily within durable

goods manufacturing, particularly in electronic and electrical equipment, primary metals, lumber and wood

products, and aircraft and parts manufacturing. In the nondurable goods sector, job losses continued in

printing and publishing.

Construction employment edged up over the month. From March 2001 through May 2002, the construction industry lost 243,000 jobs, a smaller decline than in prior economic downturns. Employment in

mining was little changed in June. Since its recent peak in September 2001, the industry has lost 14,000

jobs, with most of the losses in oil and gas extraction.

Employment in the services industry was little changed in June following 3 months of job gains. These

prior gains were fueled, in large part, by job increases in the help supply industry. In June, however, employment in help supply was essentially flat, after seasonal adjustment. Employment in health services rose

by 34,000, mainly in hospitals. In contrast, engineering and management services lost 21,000 jobs over the

month.

In retail trade, employment declined in car dealerships, and department stores lost jobs for the second

consecutive month. Employment in eating and drinking places was essentially unchanged over the month;

the industry has lost 186,000 jobs since its most recent peak in July 2001.

Transportation and public utilities employment was essentially unchanged over the month, after seasonal

adjustment. Job losses in communications partly offset job gains in local and interurban passenger transit and

in air transportation. In finance, employment increased in mortgage brokerages (7,000) and in security and

commodity brokerages (4,000). The non-education component of local government added 20,000 jobs.

Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)

The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls ticked up

by 0.1 hour in June to 34.3 hours, seasonally adjusted. The manufacturing workweek was up by 0.2 hour

to 41.1 hours, and factory overtime edged up by 0.1 hour to 4.3 hours. Since November, the factory workweek has increased by 0.7 hour and factory overtime by 0.5 hour. (See table B-2.)

The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm

payrolls rose by 0.3 percent in June to 148.6 (1982=100). The manufacturing index also was up by

0.3 percent over the month. (See table B-5.)

Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)

Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls increased

by 6 cents in June to $14.76, seasonally adjusted. June’s gain brought the total increase for the second

quarter to 11 cents. This was greater than the increase of 9 cents in the first quarter, but less than the 2001

average quarterly increase of 13 cents. Average weekly earnings rose by 0.7 percent over the month to

$506.27. Over the year, average hourly earnings increased by 3.3 percent and average weekly earnings

grew by 3.6 percent. (See table B-3.)

 Upcoming Changes to National Nonfarm Payroll Series in June 2003

NAICS conversion. The nonfarm payroll series, produced from the Current Employment

Statistics (CES) program, will be converted from the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification

(SIC) basis to the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) basis with the

June 6, 2003, release of May 2003 estimates. The NAICS conversion involves major definitional changes to many of the currently published SIC-based series. After the conversion to

NAICS, SIC-based series will no longer be produced or published. Historical time series will

be reconstructed as part of the NAICS conversion process. All published series will have a

NAICS-based history extending back to at least January 1990. For total nonfarm and other

high-level aggregates, NAICS history will begin in January 1939, the current start date for these

series. For more detailed series, the starting date will vary depending on the scope of the definitional changes between SIC and NAICS. The NAICS-based reconstruction effort will cover

all CES published data types: all employees, women workers, production workers, average

weekly hours, average hourly earnings, and derivative series (for example, indexes of aggregate

weekly hours).

Completion of the CES sample redesign. June 6, 2003, also will mark the completion of

the CES sample redesign phase-in. The redesign converts the CES from a quota-based sample

to a probability-based sample. In June 2003, the services industries will be converted to the

new sample design; all other private sector industries have already been converted. The final

stage of sample redesign phase-in may result in level shifts for average weekly hours, average

hourly earnings, production worker, and women worker series. New levels for these series are

being computed from NAICS/probability sample-based averages.

Concurrent seasonal adjustment. Also beginning in June 2003, the CES program will

convert from its current practice of updating seasonal factors twice a year to updating them

every month. Concurrent seasonal adjustment is technically superior to semiannual updates

because it uses all available monthly estimates, including those for the current month, thereby

eliminating the need to project the seasonal factors. With the introduction of concurrent

seasonal adjustment, BLS will no longer publish seasonal factors for CES national estimates.

Change to federal government series. The CES series for federal government employment will be revised slightly in scope and definition due to a change in source data and estimation

methods. The current national series is an end-of-month federal employee count produced by

the Office of Personnel Management, and it excludes some workers, mostly employees who

work in Department of Defense-owned establishments such as military base commissaries.

Beginning in June 2003, the CES national series will include these workers. Also, federal

government employment will be estimated from a sample of federal establishments, will be

benchmarked annually to counts from unemployment insurance tax records, and will reflect

employee counts as of the pay period including the 12th of the month, consistent with other CES

industry series. The historical time series for federal government employment will be revised to

reflect these changes.

Further information on upcoming changes to CES data series is available through the BLS

public database on the Internet, via the CES homepage at http://www.bls.gov/ces/, or by calling

202-691-6555.
Explanatory Note

This news release presents statistics from two major surveys, the

Current Population Survey (household survey) and the Current

Employment Statistics survey (establishment survey). The household

survey provides the information on the labor force, employment, and

unemployment that appears in the A tables, marked HOUSEHOLD

DATA. It is a sample survey of about 60,000 households conducted

by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

The establishment survey provides the information on the

employment, hours, and earnings of workers on nonfarm payrolls that

appears in the B tables, marked ESTABLISHMENT DATA. This

information is collected from payroll records by BLS in cooperation

with State agencies. In June 2001, the sample included about 350,000

establishments employing about 39 million people.

For both surveys, the data for a given month relate to a particular

week or pay period. In the household survey, the reference week is

generally the calendar week that contains the 12th day of the month.

In the establishment survey, the reference period is the pay period

including the 12th, which may or may not correspond directly to the

calendar week.

Coverage, definitions, and differences

between surveys

Household survey. The sample is selected to reflect the entire

civilian noninstitutional population. Based on responses to a series of

questions on work and job search activities, each person 16 years and

over in a sample household is classified as employed, unemployed, or

not in the labor force.

People are classified as employed if they did any work at all as paid

employees during the reference week; worked in their own business,

profession, or on their own farm; or worked without pay at least 15

hours in a family business or farm. People are also counted as

employed if they were temporarily absent from their jobs because of

illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management disputes, or personal

reasons.

People are classified as unemployed if they meet all of the following criteria: They had no employment during the reference week;

they were available for work at that time; and they made specific efforts

to find employment sometime during the 4-week period ending with

the reference week. Persons laid off from a job and expecting recall

need not be looking for work to be counted as unemployed. The

unemployment data derived from the household survey in no way

depend upon the eligibility for or receipt of unemployment insurance

benefits.

The civilian labor force is the sum of employed and unemployed

persons. Those not classified as employed or unemployed are not in

the labor force. The unemployment rate is the number unemployed as

a percent of the labor force. The labor force participation rate is the

labor force as a percent of the population, and the employmentpopulation ratio is the employed as a percent of the population.

Establishment survey. The sample establishments are drawn

from private nonfarm businesses such as factories, offices, and stores,

as well as Federal, State, and local government entities. Employees on

nonfarm payrolls are those who received pay for any part of the

reference pay period, including persons on paid leave. Persons are

counted in each job they hold. Hours and earnings data are for private

businesses and relate only to production workers in the goodsproducing sector and nonsupervisory workers in the service-producing

sector.

Differences in employment estimates. The numerous conceptual

and methodological differences between the household and

establishment surveys result in important distinctions in the employment

estimates derived from the surveys. Among these are:

• The household survey includes agricultural workers, the self-employed,

unpaid family workers, and private household workers among the employed.

These groups are excluded from the establishment survey.

• The household survey includes people on unpaid leave among the

employed. The establishment survey does not.

• The household survey is limited to workers 16 years of age and older.

The establishment survey is not limited by age.

• The household survey has no duplication of individuals, because

individuals are counted only once, even if they hold more than one job. In

the establishment survey, employees working at more than one job and

thus appearing on more than one payroll would be counted separately for

each appearance.

Other differences between the two surveys are described in

“Comparing Employment Estimates from Household and Payroll

Surveys,” which may be obtained from BLS upon request.

Seasonal adjustment

Over the course of a year, the size of the nation’s labor force and

the levels of employment and unemployment undergo sharp

fluctuations due to such seasonal events as changes in weather,

reduced or expanded production, harvests, major holidays, and the

opening and closing of schools. The effect of such seasonal variation

can be very large; seasonal fluctuations may account for as much as

95 percent of the month-to-month changes in unemployment.

Because these seasonal events follow a more or less regular

pattern each year, their influence on statistical trends can be eliminated

by adjusting the statistics from month to month. These adjustments

make nonseasonal developments, such as declines in economic

activity or increases in the participation of women in the labor force,

easier to spot. For example, the large number of youth entering the

labor force each June is likely to obscure any other changes that have

taken place relative to May, making it difficult to determine if the

level of economic activity has risen or declined. However, because

the effect of students finishing school in previous years is known, the

statistics for the current year can be adjusted to allow for a comparable

change. Insofar as the seasonal adjustment is made correctly, the

adjusted figure provides a more useful tool with which to analyze

changes in economic activity.

In both the household and establishment surveys, most seasonally

adjusted series are independently adjusted. However, the adjusted

series for many major estimates, such as total payroll employment,

employment in most major industry divisions, total employment, and
unemployment are computed by aggregating independently adjusted

component series. For example, total unemployment is derived by

summing the adjusted series for four major age-sex components; this

differs from the unemployment estimate that would be obtained by

directly adjusting the total or by combining the duration, reasons, or

more detailed age categories.

The numerical factors used to make the seasonal adjustments are

recalculated twice a year. For the household survey, the factors are

calculated for the January-June period and again for the July-December

period. For the establishment survey, updated factors for seasonal

adjustment are calculated for the May-October period and introduced

along with new benchmarks, and again for the November-April period.

In both surveys, revisions to historical data are made once a year.

Reliability of the estimates

Statistics based on the household and establishment surveys are

subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. When a sample rather

than the entire population is surveyed, there is a chance that the sample

estimates may differ from the “true” population values they represent.

The exact difference, or sampling error, varies depending on the

particular sample selected, and this variability is measured by the

standard error of the estimate. There is about a 90-percent chance, or

level of confidence, that an estimate based on a sample will differ by

no more than 1.6 standard errors from the “true” population value

because of sampling error. BLS analyses are generally conducted at

the 90-percent level of confidence.

For example, the confidence interval for the monthly change in total

employment from the household survey is on the order of plus or minus

292,000. Suppose the estimate of total employment increases by

100,000 from one month to the next. The 90-percent confidence

interval on the monthly change would range from -192,000 to 392,000

(100,000 +/- 292,000). These figures do not mean that the sample

results are off by these magnitudes, but rather that there is about a 90-

percent chance that the “true” over-the-month change lies within this

interval. Since this range includes values of less than zero, we could

not say with confidence that employment had, in fact, increased. If,

however, the reported employment rise was half a million, then all of

the values within the 90-percent confidence interval would be greater

than zero. In this case, it is likely (at least a 90-percent chance) that

an employment rise had, in fact, occurred. The 90-percent confidence

interval for the monthly change in unemployment is +/- 273,000, and

for the monthly change in the unemployment rate it is +/- .19

percentage point.

In general, estimates involving many individuals or establishments

have lower standard errors (relative to the size of the estimate) than

estimates which are based on a small number of observations. The

precision of estimates is also improved when the data are cumulated

over time such as for quarterly and annual averages. The seasonal

adjustment process can also improve the stability of the monthly

estimates.

The household and establishment surveys are also affected by

nonsampling error. Nonsampling errors can occur for many reasons,

including the failure to sample a segment of the population, inability

to obtain information for all respondents in the sample, inability or

unwillingness of respondents to provide correct information on a

timely basis, mistakes made by respondents, and errors made in the

collection or processing of the data.

For example, in the establishment survey, estimates for the most

recent 2 months are based on substantially incomplete returns; for this

reason, these estimates are labeled preliminary in the tables. It is only

after two successive revisions to a monthly estimate, when nearly

all sample reports have been received, that the estimate is considered

final.

Another major source of nonsampling error in the establishment

survey is the inability to capture, on a timely basis, employment

generated by new firms. To correct for this systematic underestimation

of employment growth (and other sources of error), a process known

as bias adjustment is included in the survey’s estimating procedures,

whereby a specified number of jobs is added to the monthly samplebased change. The size of the monthly bias adjustment is based largely

on past relationships between the sample-based estimates

of employment and the total counts of employment described below.

The sample-based estimates from the establishment survey are

adjusted once a year (on a lagged basis) to universe counts of payroll

employment obtained from administrative records of the unemployment

insurance program. The difference between the March sample-based

employment estimates and the March universe counts is known as a

benchmark revision, and serves as a rough proxy for total survey error.

The new benchmarks also incorporate changes in the classification of

industries. Over the past decade, the benchmark revision for total

nonfarm employment has averaged 0.3 percent, ranging from zero to

0.7 percent.

 NOTE: This range of alternative measures of labor underutilization replaces the U1-U7 range

published in table A-7 of this release prior to 1994. Marginally attached workers are persons

who currently are neither working nor looking for work but indicate that they want and are

available for a job and have looked for work sometime in the recent past. Discouraged workers,

a subset of the marginally attached, have given a job-market related reason for not currently

looking for a job. Persons employed part time for economic reasons are those who want and

are available for full-time work but have had to settle for a part-time schedule. For further

information, see "BLS introduces new range of alternative unemployment measures," in the

October 1995 issue of the Monthly Labor Review.
