THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: JUNE 2009 

Nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline in June (-467,000), and the unemployment 

rate was little changed at 9.5 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor 

reported today. Job losses were widespread across the major industry sectors, with large declines 

occurring in manufacturing, professional and business services, and construction. 

Unemployment (Household Survey Data)

The number of unemployed persons (14.7 million) and the unemployment rate (9.5 percent) were 

little changed in June. Since the start of the recession in December 2007, the number of unemployed 

persons has increased by 7.2 million, and the unemployment rate has risen by 4.6 percentage points. 

(See table A-1.) 

In June, unemployment rates for the major worker groups—adult men (10.0 percent), adult women 

(7.6 percent), teenagers (24.0 percent), whites (8.7 percent), blacks (14.7 percent), and Hispanics (12.2 

percent)—showed little change. The unemployment rate for Asians was 8.2 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

Among the unemployed, the number of job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs (9.6 

million) was little changed in June after increasing by an average of 615,000 per month during the first 

5 months of this year. (See table A-8.) 

The number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) increased by 433,000 

over the month to 4.4 million. In June, 3 in 10 unemployed persons were jobless for 27 weeks or more. 

(See table A-9.) 

Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)

The civilian labor force participation rate was little changed in June at 65.7 percent. The employment-population ratio, at 59.5 percent, continued to trend down over the month. The employment-population ratio has declined by 3.2 percentage points since the start of the recession in December 2007. 

(See table A-1.) 

The number of persons working part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) was little changed in June at 9.0 million. Since the start of the recession, the 

number of such workers has increased by 4.4 million. (See table A-5.) 

Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)

About 2.2 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally attached to the labor force in 

June, 618,000 more than a year earlier. These individuals wanted and were available for work and had 

looked for a job sometime in the past 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed because they 

had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. Among the marginally attached, there 

were 793,000 discouraged workers in June, up by 373,000 from a year earlier. Discouraged workers are 

persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. The other 

1.4 million persons marginally attached to the labor force in June had not searched for work in the 4 

weeks preceding the survey for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities. (See table 

A-13.) 

Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)

Total nonfarm payroll employment continued to decline in June (-467,000). Job losses from 

April to June averaged 436,000 per month, compared with losses averaging 670,000 per month from 

November to March. Since the recession began in December 2007, payroll employment has fallen 

by 6.5 million. In June, job losses continued to be widespread across major industry sectors. (See 

table B-1.) 

Employment in manufacturing fell by 136,000 over the month and has declined by 1.9 million 

during the recession. Within the durable goods industry, motor vehicles and parts (-27,000), fabricated metal products (-18,000), computer and electronic products (-16,000), and machinery (-14,000) 

continued to lose jobs in June. Since the recession began, employment in motor vehicles and parts has 

declined by 335,000, or about one-third. 

In June, employment in construction fell by 79,000, with losses spread throughout the industry. 

Since the start of the recession, construction employment has fallen by 1.3 million. Mining employment fell by 8,000 in June, about in line with the average monthly decline since its recent peak in 

October 2008. 
4

Employment in the professional and business services industry declined by 118,000 in June. This 

industry has shed 1.5 million jobs since an employment peak in December 2007. Within this sector, 

employment in temporary help services fell by 38,000 in June; this industry has lost 848,000 jobs since 

the start of the recession. 

Retail trade employment edged down in June (-21,000); job losses in retail trade have moderated in 

the past 3 months. Over the month, job losses continued in automobile dealerships (-9,000). Employment continued to fall in wholesale trade (-16,000). 

In June, financial activities employment continued to decline (-27,000). Since the start of the 

recession, this industry has lost 489,000 jobs. In June, employment declined in credit intermediation 

and related activities (-10,000) and in securities, commodity contracts, and investments (-6,000). 

The information industry lost 21,000 jobs over the month and 187,000 since the start of the recession. Publishing accounted for about half of the employment decline in the information industry 

during the recession. 

Health care employment increased by 21,000 in June. Job gains in health care have averaged 

21,000 per month thus far in 2009, down from an average of 30,000 per month during 2008. Employment in federal government fell by 49,000 in June, largely due to the layoff of workers temporarily 

hired to prepare for Census 2010. 

The change in total nonfarm employment for April was revised from -504,000 to -519,000, and the 

change for May was revised from -345,000 to -322,000. 

Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)

In June, the average workweek for production and nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm 

payrolls fell by 0.1 hour to 33.0 hours—the lowest level on record for the series, which began in 1964. 

The manufacturing workweek rose by 0.1 hour to 39.5 hours, and factory overtime was unchanged at 2.8 

hours. (See table B-2.) 

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

payrolls fell by 0.8 percent in June. The manufacturing index declined by 1.2 percent over the month. 

(See table B-5.) 

Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)

In June, average hourly earnings of production and nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm 

payrolls were unchanged at $18.53. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased 

by 2.7 percent, while weekly earnings have risen by only 0.9 percent, reflecting a decline in the average 

workweek. (See table B-3.)

Frequently Asked Questions about Employment and Unemployment Estimates 

Why are there two monthly measures of employment? 

The household survey and establishment survey both produce sample-based estimates of employment and both have strengths and limitations. The establishment survey employment series has a 

smaller margin of error on the measurement of month-to-month change than the household survey 

because of its much larger sample size. An over-the-month employment change of 107,000 is statistically significant in the establishment survey, while the threshold for a statistically significant change in 

the household survey is about 400,000. However, the household survey has a more expansive scope 

than the establishment survey because it includes the self-employed, unpaid family workers, agricultural workers, and private household workers, who are excluded by the establishment survey. The 

household survey also provides estimates of employment for demographic groups. 

Are undocumented immigrants counted in the surveys? 

Neither the establishment nor household survey is designed to identify the legal status of workers. 

Thus, while it is likely that both surveys include at least some undocumented immigrants, it is not 

possible to determine how many are counted in either survey. The household survey does include 

questions about whether respondents were born outside the United States. Data from these questions 

show that foreign-born workers accounted for 15.6 percent of the labor force in 2008.

Why does the establishment survey have revisions? 

The establishment survey revises published estimates to improve its data series by incorporating 

additional information that was not available at the time of the initial publication of the estimates. 

The establishment survey revises its initial monthly estimates twice, in the immediately succeeding 

2 months, to incorporate additional sample receipts from respondents in the survey and recalculated 

seasonal adjustment factors. For more information on the monthly revisions, please visit 

http://www.bls.gov/ces/cesrevinfo.htm. 

On an annual basis, the establishment survey incorporates a benchmark revision that re-anchors 

estimates to nearly complete employment counts available from unemployment insurance tax records. 

The benchmark helps to control for sampling and modeling errors in the estimates. For more information on the annual benchmark revision, please visit http://www.bls.gov/web/cesbmart.htm. 

Does the establishment survey sample include small firms? 

Yes; about 40 percent of the establishment survey sample is comprised of business establishments 

with fewer than 20 employees. The establishment survey sample is designed to maximize the reliability 

of the total nonfarm employment estimate; firms from all size classes and industries are appropriately 

sampled to achieve that goal. 

Does the establishment survey account for employment from new businesses? 

Yes; monthly establishment survey estimates include an adjustment to account for the net employment change generated by business births and deaths. The adjustment comes from an econometric 

model that forecasts the monthly net jobs impact of business births and deaths based on the actual past 
7

values of the net impact that can be observed with a lag from the Quarterly Census of Employment and 

Wages. The establishment survey uses modeling rather than sampling for this purpose because the survey is not immediately able to bring new businesses into the sample. There is an unavoidable lag between the birth of a new firm and its appearance on the sampling frame and availability for selection. 

BLS adds new businesses to the survey twice a year. 

Is the count of unemployed persons limited to just those people receiving unemployment insurance 

benefits? 

No; the estimate of unemployment is based on a monthly sample survey of households. All persons 

who are without jobs and are actively seeking and available to work are included among the unemployed. 

(People on temporary layoff are included even if they do not actively seek work.) There is no requirement or question relating to unemployment insurance benefits in the monthly survey. 

Does the official unemployment rate exclude people who have stopped looking for work? 

Yes; however, there are separate estimates of persons outside the labor force who want a job, 

including those who have stopped looking because they believe no jobs are available (discouraged 

workers). In addition, alternative measures of labor underutilization (discouraged workers and other 

groups not officially counted as unemployed) are published each month in the Employment Situation 

news release. 
Technical 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 employment-population 

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. Industries are classified on the 

basis of their principal activity in accordance with the 2007 

version of the North American Industry Classification 

System. 

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 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. 

Most seasonally adjusted series are independently 

adjusted in both the household and establishment surveys. 

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. 

For both the household and establishment surveys, a 

concurrent seasonal adjustment methodology is used in which 

new seasonal factors are calculated each month, using all 

relevant data, up to and including the data for the current 

month. In the household survey, new seasonal factors are 

used to adjust only the current month's data. In the 

establishment survey, however, new seasonal factors are used 

each month to adjust the three most recent monthly estimates. 

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 430,000. 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 -330,000 to 530,000 (100,000 +/-

430,000). 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 5.5 percent, the 90-percent confidence interval 

for the monthly change in unemployment is about 

+/-280,000, 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 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 5 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 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, absolute benchmark revisions for total nonfarm 

employment have averaged 0.2 percent, with a range from 0.1 

percent to 0.6 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

looking currently 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 more information, see "BLS introduces new range of

alternative unemployment measures," in the October 1995 issue of the Monthly

Labor Review. Updated population controls are introduced annually with the
