                      THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION:  JUNE 2005
                                        
   Nonfarm employment increased by 146,000 in June, and the unemployment rate
continued to trend down, reaching 5.0 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today.  Over the month, payroll em-
ployment continued to grow in several industries, notably professional and
business services and health care.
   
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
   
   The jobless rate in June was 5.0 percent, seasonally adjusted.  It has
trended downward since February 2005 and is now 1.3 percentage points lower
than its most recent high in June 2003.  The number of unemployed persons was
little changed over the month at 7.5 million, but is down by 1.7 million since
June 2003.
   
   The jobless rates for most major worker groups--adult men (4.3 percent),
adult women (4.6 percent), whites (4.3 percent), blacks (10.3 percent), and
Hispanics or Latinos (5.8 percent)--showed little or no change in June.  The
unemployment rate for teenagers edged down to 16.4 percent over the month.
The unemployment rate for Asians was 4.0 percent, not seasonally adjusted.
(See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
   
   The number of long-term unemployed persons--those unemployed 27 weeks or
longer--fell to 1.3 million in June.  This group accounted for 17.8 percent
of total unemployment, down from 20.1 percent in May.  (See table A-9.)
   
Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
   
   In June, total employment (141.6 million) and the civilian labor force
(149.1 million) were essentially unchanged.  The employment-population ra-
tio held at 62.7 percent, and the labor force participation rate was little
changed over the month at 66.0 percent.  (See table A-1.)
   
Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
   
   In June, 1.6 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force,
compared with 1.5 million 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 476,000
discouraged workers in June, essentially the same as a year earlier.  Dis-

couraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached, were not currently
looking for work specifically because they believed no jobs were available
for them.  The other 1.1 million marginally attached had not searched for
work for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities.
(See table A-13.)

Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)

   Total nonfarm employment rose by 146,000 in June to 133.5 million, season-
ally adjusted.  This followed job gains of 292,000 in April and 104,000 in May
(as revised).  Over the month, professional and business services and health
care added jobs, and manufacturing employment declined.  (See table B-1.)
   
   Professional and business services employment grew by 56,000 in June, fol-
lowing little change in May.  This industry has gained nearly a half million
jobs over the year.  Within the industry, architectural and engineering serv-
ices employment rose by 9,000 in June.  Temporary help services employment
was little changed; job growth in the industry has slowed since last October.

   Health care employment continued to grow in June, rising by 25,000.  Over
the year, the health care industry has added 249,000 jobs.  In June, job
growth was concentrated in hospitals (12,000) and ambulatory health care serv-
ices (11,000).
   
   Among other service-providing industries, financial activities employment
edged up over the month, as credit intermediation and real estate showed con-
tinued strength.  Employment in food services edged up in June after showing
little change in May.  Employment in child day care services rose by 8,000
on a seasonally adjusted basis in June, as layoffs were lighter than usual.
Employment in warehousing and storage rose by 6,000.  Air transportation
continued to lose jobs, declining by 3,000 over the month.
   
   In June, manufacturing employment fell by 24,000.  Motor vehicles and
parts lost 18,000 jobs over the month.  Job losses in nondurable goods manu-
facturing were small but widespread, totaling 12,000.  These declines were
partially offset by a gain of 7,000 in computer and electronic products.
Elsewhere in the goods-producing sector, both mining and construction employ-
ment continued to trend up over the month.

Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)

   The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private
nonfarm payrolls was unchanged at 33.7 hours in June, seasonally adjusted.
The manufacturing workweek, at 40.4 hours, and manufacturing overtime, at
4.4 hours, also were unchanged.  (See table B-2.)

   The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory
workers on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 0.2 percent in June to
102.5 (2002=100).  The manufacturing index was down by 0.2 percent over
the month to 93.4.  (See table B-5.)

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 informa-
tion 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 house-
holds 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 establish-
ment 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, pro-
fession, 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.
                                  
                                  - 6 -
 
   Establishment survey.  The sample establishments are drawn from pri-
vate 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 2002 version of
the North American Industry Classification System.

   Differences in employment estimates.  The numerous conceptual and method-
ological differences between the household and establishment surveys result
in important distinctions in the employment estimates derived from the sur-
veys.  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 in-
dividuals  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 ef-
fect of such seasonal  variation can  be  very large; seasonal fluctua-
tions 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 ad-
justing the statistics from month to month.  These adjustments make non-
seasonal 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 ana-
lyze changes in economic activity.
 
                                  - 7 -
 
   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 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.

   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 en-
tire 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 stand-
ard 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, oc-
curred.  At an unemployment rate of around 5.5 percent, the 90-percent con-
fidence 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 esti-
mates is also improved when the data are cumulated over time such as for
quarterly and annual averages.  The seasonal adjustment process can also im-
prove the stability of the monthly estimates.
 
                                  - 8 -
 
   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 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 0.2 percent,
ranging from less than 0.05 percent to 0.5 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 2005, data reflect revised population controls used in the household survey.
