                      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 mil-
lion, 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 re-
presented 21.4 percent of the total unemployed, up from 18.8 percent a year
earlier.  (See table A-9.)
   
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 avail-
able 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 manufactur-
ing, but were partially offset by gains in construction and some service-pro-
viding 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 ser-
vices (-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 fol-
lowing 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 mil-
lion 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 manu-
facturing 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 work-
ers 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 earn-
ings increased by 2.1 percent.  (See table B-3.)

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 ap-
proximately 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.

                                  - 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.
 
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 super-
sectors, total employment, and unemployment are computed by aggregating in-
dependently 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 di-
rectly adjusting the total or by combining the duration, reasons, or more 
detailed age categories.
 
                                  - 7 -

   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 con-
fidence 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.
 
                                  - 8 -

 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 busi-
ness, 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 de-
rived 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 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:  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 household survey.
