THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: JUNE 2003

Nonfarm payroll employment was essentially unchanged in June, while the unemployment rate rose

to 6.4 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Payroll job losses continued in manufacturing, but were partly offset by employment increases in other

industries.

Unemployment (Household Survey Data)

The number of unemployed persons increased by 360,000 in June to 9.4 million, and the unemployment rate rose from 6.1 to 6.4 percent. Since March, unemployment has increased by 913,000. The

rate for adult men edged up for the third month in a row; at 6.1 percent, the jobless rate for this group

was 0.8 percentage point higher than in March. The teenage unemployment rate, at 19.3 percent, has

trended up since the beginning of the year. Over the month, the unemployment rate for blacks increased

to 11.8 percent. Jobless rates for the other major worker groups—adult women (5.2 percent), whites

(5.5 percent), and Hispanics (8.4 percent)—showed little change from May. The unemployment rate for

Asians was 7.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

In June, there were 2.0 million unemployed persons who had been looking for work for 27 weeks or

longer, an increase of 410,000 over the year. They represented 21.4 percent of the total unemployed, up

from 18.8 percent a year earlier. (See table A-9.)

 Establishment data reflect the conversion to the 2002 version of the North American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) as the basis for the assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry, replacing the 1987 

Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system. Due to differences in NAICS and SIC structures, NAICS-based 

data by industry are not comparable to the SIC-based data.

Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)

The civilian labor force increased by 611,000 over the month to 147.1 million. The labor force participation rate rose by 0.2 percentage point to 66.6 percent in June. The rate is up from its recent low of

66.2 percent in March. Total employment in June was 137.7 million, and the employment-population ratio

was unchanged at 62.3 percent. (See table A-1.)

Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)

In June, 1.5 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force, little changed from a year earlier.

These individuals wanted and were available to work and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12

months. They were not counted as unemployed, however, because they did not actively search for work in

the 4 weeks preceding the survey. There were 478,000 discouraged workers in June, up from 342,000 in

June 2002. 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-13.)

Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)

Total nonfarm payroll employment was essentially unchanged (-30,000) in June at 130.0 million. Over

the month, job declines continued in manufacturing, but were partially offset by gains in construction and

some service-providing industries. (See table B-1.)

Manufacturing employment decreased by 56,000 in June, in line with the average job loss over the prior

12 months. Losses occurred across most of the component industries. Since its most recent peak in July

2000, manufacturing employment has fallen by more than 2.6 million. In June, primary metals, fabricated

metal products, machinery, and plastics and rubber products each lost about 6,000 jobs. Employment in

textile mills and leather products manufacturing also declined in June, continuing their long-term downward

trends.

Employment in construction edged up in June, the fourth consecutive monthly gain. Construction has

added 101,000 jobs since February, reflecting strength in residential building activity.

Employment in health care and social assistance rose by 35,000 over the month and has increased by

306,000 over the year. In June, ambulatory health care services (including offices of physicians, outpatient

care centers, and home health care services) added 24,000 jobs; hospital employment increased by 9,000.

Within professional and business services, employment in the temporary help industry rose by 38,000 in

June, following a gain of 44,000 in May. This rise was partly offset by an employment decline in accounting

and bookkeeping services (-24,000). Accounting and bookkeeping experienced a large seasonal buildup for

the tax season followed by even larger layoffs. After seasonal adjustment, employment in this industry is

down by 36,000 since last November.

In the leisure and hospitality industry, employment edged up in June following 4 months of declines. The

over-the-month gain was largely in the food services industry.

Employment in transportation and warehousing was little changed at 4.1 million in June. Within this

sector, air transportation employment continued to decline. This industry has lost 123,000 jobs since its peak

in March 2001. Both wholesale and retail trade employment edged lower over the month.

The information sector showed little job change in June. Employment within this industry declined in

nearly every month since March 2001, losing a total of 434,000 jobs. The telecommunications industry,

which shed 7,000 jobs in June, accounted for nearly half of the losses over that period.

Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)

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

33.7 hours for the third consecutive month. The manufacturing workweek and manufacturing overtime

also were unchanged from May, at 40.2 hours and 4.0 hours, respectively. (See table B-2.)

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

payrolls was unchanged in June at 98.7 (2002=100). The manufacturing index fell by 0.4 percent over

the month to 94.7. (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 3 cents in June to $15.38, seasonally adjusted. Average weekly earnings rose by 0.2 percent over the

month to $518.31. Over the year, average hourly earnings grew by 3.0 percent, and average weekly

earnings increased by 2.1 percent. (See table B-3.)

______________________________

The Employment Situation for July 2003 is scheduled to be released on Friday, August 1, at 8:30 A.M.

(EDT).
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. The sample includes about 160,000 businesses

and government agencies covering approximately 400,000 individual

worksites. The active sample includes about one-third of all nonfarm

payroll workers. The sample is drawn from a sampling frame of

unemployment insurance tax accounts.

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 goods-producing

sector and nonsupervisory workers in the service-providing 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.

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 monthto-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 supersectors, 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 for the

household survey are recalculated twice a year; the factors are calculated for the January-June period and again for the July-December

period. For the establishment survey, a concurrent seasonal adjustment

methodology is used in which new seasonal factors are calculated each

month for the three most recent monthly estimates, using all relevant

data, up to and including the data for the current month. 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 290,000. 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 -190,000 to 390,000

(100,000 +/- 290,000). 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. At an unemployment rate of around

4 percent, the 90-percent confidence interval for the monthly change

in unemployment is about +/- 270,000, and for the monthly change in

the unemployment rate it is about +/- .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, an estimation procedure with two components

is used to account for business births. The first component uses business

deaths to impute employment for business births. This is incorporated

into the sample-based link relative estimate procedure by simply not

reflecting sample units going out of business, but imputing to them the

same trend as the other firms in the sample. The second component is

an ARIMA time series model designed to estimate the residual net birth/

death employment not accounted for by the imputation. The historical

time series used to create and test the ARIMA model was derived from

the unemployment insurance universe micro-level database, and reflects

the actual residual net of births and deaths over the past five years.

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 samplebased 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: 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. Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population controls used in the
