                   THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION:  JUNE 2001


   Nonfarm payroll employment fell by 114,000 in June, and the unemployment
rate was little changed, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department
of Labor reported today.  Manufacturing experienced another large job loss,
and wholesale trade employment declined for the third consecutive month.
Other major industry groups showed no significant change in employment over
the month.
   
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
   
   Both the unemployment rate (4.5 percent) and the number of unemployed per-
sons (6.4 million) were little changed in June.  In each of the past 3 months,
the jobless rate has been either 4.4 or 4.5 percent; its most recent low was
3.9 percent in October 2000.  The rates for all the major worker groups--adult
men (4.0 percent), adult women (3.8 percent), teenagers (14.3 percent), whites
(4.0 percent), blacks (8.4 percent), and Hispanics (6.6 percent)--showed little
or no change over the month.  (See tables A-1 and A-2.)
   
Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
   
   Total employment, at 134.9 million, was little changed in June.  Since Jan-
uary, it has declined by about 1.1 million.  Over the month, the employment-
population ratio decreased to 63.7 percent and has fallen by 0.8 percentage
point since January.
   
   The civilian labor force (141.4 million) was essentially unchanged over
the month, after seasonal adjustment, and the labor force participation
rate--the proportion of the population 16 years of age and older who are
either working or looking for work--remained at 66.8 percent.  Since
January, the participation rate has declined by half a percentage point.
(See table A-1.)
   
   The number of persons working part time for economic reasons increased
by 266,000 to 3.6 million.  This was about half a million more than a year
earlier.  These persons indicated that they would like to work full time
but worked part time because their hours had been cut back or they were
unable to find a full-time job.  (See table A-4.)
   
   In June, 7.3 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) held more than
one job.  These multiple jobholders represented 5.4 percent of the employed,
the same as a year earlier.  (See table A-10.)
   
Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
   
   In June, 4.6 million people not in the labor force (seasonally adjusted)
reported that they currently wanted a job.  These individuals are not counted
as unemployed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding

the survey.  Indeed, most had not searched for work in the prior year.
(See table A-1.)  Among persons who wanted a job, about 1.2 million
(not seasonally adjusted) were marginally attached to the labor force in
June.  These were people who were available for work and had looked for a
job sometime in the prior 12 months.  In June, the number of discouraged
workers was 291,000.  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)
   
   Nonfarm payroll employment fell by 114,000 in June to 132.4 million,
seasonally adjusted.  This was the second decline in the past 3 months (as
revised) and brought total job losses in the second quarter to 271,000.
Manufacturing employment continued to fall sharply in June, and related
industries such as wholesale trade and transportation also lost jobs.  The
other major industry groups had little or no change in employment over the
month.  (See table B-1.)
   
   Manufacturing lost 113,000 jobs in June.  Since last July, the industry
has lost 785,000 jobs, with nearly three-quarters of the decline coming
since the end of 2000.  In June, employment losses in manufacturing again
were widespread, with the largest declines occurring in electronic equip-
ment (31,000), industrial machinery (22,000), and fabricated metals and
textiles (8,000 each).  Job losses in electronic equipment and industrial
machinery have accelerated over the past 3 months, as they also have in
textiles, furniture, and printing and publishing.
   
   Construction employment was little changed in June and was down over the
second quarter (seasonally adjusted).  Strong job growth in the first
quarter may have lessened the need for the industry to add workers during
the spring buildup.  Monthly job growth in the industry has averaged 15,000
thus far in 2001, slightly below the average monthly growth for all of
2000.
   
   In mining, employment continued to rise in oil and gas extraction,
although June's gain was the smallest this year.
   
   In the service-producing sector, employment in wholesale trade decreased
sharply for the third consecutive month.  Employment declines in this industry
have totaled 42,000 since March, reflecting cutbacks in both domestic indus-
trial production and imports.
   
   Employment in transportation and public utilities declined by 11,000 in
June.  All of the loss occurred in transportation.  Manufacturing's severe
downturn continued to affect the movement of goods both by truck and air.
Employment in air transportation also has been affected by reductions in
business travel.
   
   Employment in services was flat in June, following a gain of 65,000 (as
revised) in May.  Strong job gains in health services, engineering and
management services, motion pictures, and computer services were offset by
large losses in help supply services, hotels, amusements and recreation,
and educational services.  Since reaching its peak last September, the help
supply industry has lost 379,000 jobs.
   
   Employment in finance, insurance, and real estate was little changed in
June.  Employment gains continued in commercial banks and in mortgage
banks; these were offset by declines in insurance and real estate and
continued losses in security brokerages, which have shed 12,000 jobs since
March.
   
   In June, employment in retail trade also was little changed.  Job gains
in eating and drinking places and building materials and garden supplies
were partially offset by continued losses in food stores.  Job gains in
retail trade have averaged 24,000 a month in 2001, about the same as the
monthly average for all of last year.

                                  - 4 -

   In government, small job gains in state and local government more than
offset losses in the federal government.  Average monthly job gains in
local government thus far in 2001 have been considerably larger than in
2000.
   
Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
   
   The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private
nonfarm payrolls was unchanged in June at 34.3 hours, seasonally adjusted.
The manufacturing workweek edged down by 0.1 hour to 40.7 hours.  Manufac-
turing overtime was up by 0.1 hour to 4.0 hours.  Over the past 12 months,
the factory workweek has fallen by 1.0 hour and factory overtime by 0.6 hour.
(See table B-2.)
   
   The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory
workers on private nonfarm payrolls declined by 0.2 percent in June to
151.2 (1982=100), seasonally adjusted.  The manufacturing index fell by 1.0
percent to 98.2.  The manufacturing index has fallen by 7.9 percent over
the past 12 months and is now at its lowest level since March 1983.  (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 4 cents in June to $14.29, seasonally
adjusted.  Over the month, average weekly earnings increased by 0.3 percent
to $490.15.  Over the year, average hourly earnings rose by 4.2 percent and
average weekly earnings grew by 3.6 percent.  (See table B-3.)

   Expansion of the Current Population Survey (Household Survey) Sample

   Beginning in September 2000, the Census Bureau expanded the monthly
sample for the Current Population Survey (CPS) to meet the requirements of
the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) legislation.  This
legislation requires that the Census Bureau improve state estimates of the
number of children who live in low-income families and lack health
insurance.  These estimates are obtained from the Annual Demographic
Supplement to the CPS.  The expansion of the monthly CPS sample was one
part of the Census Bureau's plan for strengthening the SCHIP estimates.
The monthly CPS sample was increased in 31 states and the District of
Columbia, and the total number of households eligible for the survey rose
from about 50,000 to about 60,000.  The additional households were
introduced into the survey over a 3-month period beginning in September
2000.
   
   In the September 2000 Employment Situation news release (USDL 00-284),
the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) stated that it would not use the
additional sample to produce the official national labor force estimates
prior to the release of July 2001 data in August.  This delay would allow
BLS sufficient time to evaluate the differences, if any, between the
estimates obtained from the current 50,000-household sample and the
expanded 60,000-household sample.  BLS evaluated the monthly data for the
November 2000-April 2001 period and found no significant differences in the
national labor force estimates derived from the two samples.  Thus, BLS
plans to incorporate the additional sample into the July 2001 official
national estimates.  Since estimates from the two samples were virtually
identical, household data for the first 6 months of 2001 will not be
revised.
   
   The August 2001 issue of Employment and Earnings will contain an article
discussing this sample expansion in more detail.

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
50,000 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 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-producing sector.

                                  - 6 -
 
 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

                                  - 7 -

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 sample-based change.  The size of the

                                  - 8 -

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.

 Employment and Earnings also provides measures of sampling error for the
household survey data published in this release.  For unemployment and
other labor force categories, these measures appear in tables 1-B through
1-D of its "Explanatory Notes."  Measures of the reliability of the data
drawn from the establishment survey and the actual amounts of revision due
to benchmark adjustments are provided in tables 2-B through 2-H of that
publication.

      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.
