                   THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION:  JULY 1995
 
     Both unemployment and nonfarm payroll employment were essentially
unchanged in July, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of
Labor reported today.  The unemployment rate was 5.7 percent in July and
has shown very little movement in recent months.  The overall weakness in
payroll employment reflected a sharp drop in manufacturing jobs that was
offset by small gains in a number of the service-producing industries.
Average hourly earnings rose by 7 cents and the factory workweek continued
its descent.
 
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
 
     The number of unemployed persons totaled 7.6 million in July, and the
unemployment rate was 5.7 percent.  Both measures have shown little change
since April.  (See table A-1.)
 
     Jobless rates showed little or no change in July for adult men (4.7
percent), adult women (5.1 percent), whites (4.8 percent), blacks (11.1
percent), and Hispanics (8.8 percent).  In contrast, the rate for teenagers
rose to 18.2 percent.  Both the mean (16.5 weeks) and median (9.1 weeks)
duration of unemployment rose over the month after falling in June.  (See
tables A-1, A-2, and A-5.)
 
Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
 
     Total employment increased by 474,000 in July to 125.0 million
(seasonally adjusted).  A rise in employment among adult women was partly
offset by a decline among teenagers.  The employment-population ratio--the
proportion of the working-age population with jobs--was up 0.2 percentage
point to 62.9 percent but remains below the levels reached earlier in the
year.  (See table A-1.)
 
     A total of 7.8 million workers (not seasonally adjusted), or 6.1
percent of all employed persons, held two or more jobs in July.  A year
earlier, 5.8 percent of the employed held more than one job.  (See table
A-8.)
 
     The civilian labor force was up by 649,000 over the month to 132.5
million, seasonally adjusted.  Adult women accounted for virtually all of
this increase.  The labor force participation rate rose 0.3 percentage
point to 66.7 percent, somewhat less than the levels that prevailed earlier
in the year.  (See table A-1.)

Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
 
     A total of 1.6 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) had a
marginal attachment to the labor force in July, that is, they wanted and
were available for work but had ceased their active search for jobs after
having looked sometime in the prior 12 months.  Those who were not looking
because they believed that no jobs were available for them--discouraged
workers--accounted for 456,000 of the 1.6 million.  Both figures were below
those of a year earlier.  (See table A-8.)
 
Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
 
     Nonfarm payroll employment was about unchanged in July, after seasonal
adjustment, as job gains in several of the service-producing industries
were largely offset by a steep decline in manufacturing.  (See table B-1.)
 
     The manufacturing job reduction of 85,000 in July added to losses that
now total 188,000 since the industry began shedding jobs in April.  Over-
the-month declines were widespread across both durable and nondurable goods
industries.  Among durables, the largest decline occurred in transportation
equipment, where the decrease of 20,000 reflected temporary shutdowns in
the motor vehicle industry and further cutbacks in aircraft manufacturing.
Aircraft has lost nearly 40 percent of its employment over the last 5
years.  Small job losses continued in July among most other durable goods
manufacturers.  Among the nondurable goods industries, sizable employment
declines continued in apparel, textiles, chemicals, and rubber and
plastics.  The only manufacturing industry to sustain a trend of job growth
was electronics.
 
     Construction employment was unchanged in July, after seasonal
adjustment.  Job totals in the industry have fluctuated in recent months,
and there has been no definitive trend since steady growth tapered off this
past spring.  Mining employment continued its long-term decline in July.
 
     In the service-producing sector, both wholesale and retail trade added
jobs over the month.  In wholesale trade, the job gain of 17,000 was in
line with the average monthly increase over the past year.  Employment in
retail trade expanded by 54,000, following a similarly sized gain in June.
There had been no net job growth in the industry this year prior to June.
Most of the recent strength was in eating and drinking places.
 
     The services industry exhibited modest job growth in July, with a gain
of only 60,000.  Smaller-than-average increases occurred in business,
health, and engineering services, and employment in social services
declined for the second straight month.  Overall, the pace of job growth in
services has clearly slowed in recent months.
 
Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
 
     The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on
private nonfarm payrolls edged up by 0.1 hour in July to 34.6 hours, after
seasonal adjustment.  Average hours in manufacturing fell by 0.2 hour to
41.3 hours; the series is nearly a full hour below its recent peak.
Factory overtime edged up to 4.3 hours, after falling in each of the prior
5 months.  (See table B-2.)
 
     The index of aggregate weekly hours of private production or
nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls rose 0.5 percent to 133.0
                                   - 4 -
 
(1982=100) in July.  The manufacturing index, which has been trending
downward since March, declined further in July to 105.3.  (See table B-5.)
 
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
 
     Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory
workers rose 7 cents in July to $11.49, after seasonal adjustment.  Average
weekly earnings rose by 0.9 percent to $397.55.  Over the past year,
average hourly and weekly earnings rose by 3.2 and 2.9 percent,
respectively.  (See table B-3.)
