     The Current Population Survey (household) data being released today
reflect several major changes.  First, the survey questionnaire has been
redesigned following extensive research and testing that have been ongoing
since the late 1980s, and the collection methodology has been changed from
(principally) paper-and-pencil interviewing to a totally computerized
environment. Many series, including unemployment, have been impacted by the
improvements in the questionnaire and survey methodology.  In addition,
some estimates, most notably those relating to "discouraged workers" and
"part time for economic reasons," have been substantially affected by
changes in definition/measurement.  Finally, the January data incorporate
revised population estimates based on the 1990 census, adjusted for the
undercount, which result in substantially higher levels for the population,
labor force, and employment, and a slightly higher rate of unemployment.
Because of the extensive nature of the redesign and the impact of the
revised population estimates, the January 1994 data and those for earlier
months should not be directly compared.  Additional information on these
changes is provided beginning on page 5.
 
                  THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION:  JANUARY 1994
 
     Payroll employment, as measured by the survey of nonfarm business
establishments, edged up by 62,000 in January, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today.  This gain was
well below the average for recent months, being held down by the adverse
impact of severe weather in much of the country.
 
     The unemployment rate was 6.7 percent in January.  This and other
measures from the survey of households are the first official estimates
produced using a totally redesigned survey.  The results from the December
and January surveys should not be directly compared.  Findings from a test
conducted in 1993 showed that joblessness as measured by the new survey
questionnaire was, on average, somewhat higher than on the old basis and
that many other labor force estimates also were affected.  In addition, the
household survey data reflect the introduction of revised population
estimates based on the 1990 census, as adjusted for the undercount, which
markedly raised labor force and employment levels.
 
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
 
     The unemployment rate was 6.7 percent in January (seasonally
adjusted), as measured using the new questionnaire and survey procedures.
The number of unemployed persons was 8.7 million.  On the old basis, the

    NOTE: Household data, beginning January 1994, are not directly com-
parable with data for 1993 and earlier years. See the box note, table A-8.

rate in December was 6.4 percent and the jobless level was 8.2 million;
both had been drifting downward throughout 1993.  The jobless rates for the
major demographic groups in January were as follows:  adult women (6.0
percent), adult men (5.9 percent), teenagers (18.4 percent), whites (5.8
percent), blacks (13.1 percent), and Hispanics (10.6 percent).  (See tables
A-1 and A-2.)
 
     The measurement and classification of unemployed persons by reason for
unemployment also have changed somewhat with the survey redesign.  An
estimate of the number of persons unemployed because their temporary job
ended is now available separately for the first time (not seasonally
adjusted).  In January--on a seasonally adjusted basis--the grouping "job
losers and persons who completed temporary jobs" (which roughly
approximates the "job loser" category in the old survey) made up 51 percent
of the unemployed; 14 percent of all unemployed persons were on temporary
layoff (expecting recall).  (See table A-6.)
 
     The proportion of unemployed persons who were reentrants to the labor
force (33 percent) was markedly higher based on the new figures, while the
proportion who were new entrants was lower (7-1/2 percent).  Much of this
shift reflects the redefinition of reentrants in the new survey, whereby
persons are no longer required to have at least 2 weeks of full-time work
experience to be classified as reentrants; any work experience, including
only part-time jobs, will now suffice.  Finally, 9 percent of the
unemployed in January had voluntarily left their last jobs.  (See table
A-6.)
 
     Under the new survey procedures, the number of persons employed part
time for economic reasons--sometimes referred to as the partially
unemployed--was 5.2 million in January, substantially below the 6 to 6-1/2
million levels that had prevailed for about 2-1/2 years.  The main reason
for this large difference is that those so classified must now indicate
explicitly their desire and availability for full-time work.  (See table
A-3.)
 
Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
 
     Total employment was 122.0 million in January, which is some 1.3
million higher than the figure for December.  The bulk of this difference
(approximately 950,000) is attributable to the introduction into the
estimation process of 1990 census-based population controls, adjusted for
the undercount.  Some of the remaining difference may be associated with
the introduction of the new survey questionnaire and collection
methodology.  The employment-population ratio--the proportion of the
population with jobs--was 62.2 percent in January, only slightly higher
than the figure for December.  The January ratios were 55.7 percent for
adult women, 72.4 percent for adult men, and 43.5 percent for teenagers.
(See table A-1.)
 
     Changes to the questionnaire now allow for the collection of data on
multiple jobholders on a monthly basis.  In January, 6.8 million persons,
about 5.6 percent of all workers (on a not seasonally adjusted basis), held
more than one job during the reference week.  (See table A-8.)
 
 
                                   - 4 -
 
     Reflecting the net shift of persons from outside the labor force to
both employment and unemployment under the redesigned survey, the labor
force participation rate was 66.7 percent in January, somewhat higher than
the proportion estimated using the former procedures.  (See table A-1.)
 
Discouraged Workers (Household Survey Data)
 
     The household survey redesign included a major change in the
definition of discouraged workers.  Two requirements were added:  To be
classified as discouraged, one must have searched for work during the prior
year and be explicitly reported as currently available for work.  Using
this new definition, the number of discouraged workers was 600,000 in
January, on a not seasonally adjusted basis.  (See table A-8.)  Under the
former, less restrictive definition, the number of discouraged workers had
held steady at about 1.1 million (seasonally adjusted) for over 2 years.
 
Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
 
     Nonfarm payroll employment edged up by 62,000 in January on a
seasonally adjusted basis, as unusually frigid winter weather over much of
the country during the reference week for the survey (the week of the 12th)
limited the extent of job growth.  During the prior 4 months, payroll
employment gains had averaged 191,000.  (See table B-1.)
 
     Durable goods manufacturing employment rose for the fourth consecutive
month, particularly in auto- and construction-related industries, including
fabricated metals, lumber, furniture, and stone, clay, and glass products,
as well as motor vehicle manufacturing itself.  Durable goods employment
increases have totaled 78,000 since September.  Nondurables employment held
steady, as rubber and plastics (also auto-related) and printing and
publishing had sufficient gains to offset job losses in chemicals and
petroleum products.  Employment in the apparel industry was flat after
extensive losses in recent months.
 
     The number of construction workers was little changed, after seasonal
adjustment; employment in the industry was depressed by the extreme winter
weather in the Midwest and Northeast.  Mining employment also was little
changed, following large December gains attributable to the return of
striking coal miners.
 
     The trucking industry added 10,000 jobs to transportation, which has
been experiencing strong growth in recent months.  Wholesale trade also
added 10,000 jobs over the month, mostly in durable goods distribution.
While employment in retail trade increased by 20,000, there were losses--
probably weather-related--in general merchandise, apparel, and eating and
drinking establishments.  Jobs in automobile dealers and service stations
rose by 11,000 in January, and their total has grown by 123,000 since
January 1992.
 
     The finance industry added 6,000 jobs over the month.  Employment in
the services industry was flat for the first time in nearly 2 years, as job
gains of 25,000 in health services were overshadowed by weather-related
losses in business services, amusements and recreation, and elsewhere in
the industry.  Employment of Federal workers declined by 20,000, as
temporary postal workers hired for the holiday season were released.

Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
 
     The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on
private nonfarm payrolls rose 0.3 hour to 34.8 hours in January, seasonally
adjusted.  The manufacturing workweek and overtime hours remained at high
levels of 41.7 and 4.4 hours, respectively.  (See table B-2.)
 
     The index of aggregate weekly hours of private production or
nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls rose by 0.9 percent to 126.3
(1982=100) in January, largely a result of the longer workweek.  The
manufacturing index increased by 0.3 percent to 102.4.  (See table B-5.)
 
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
 
     Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory
workers on nonfarm payrolls increased by 0.7 percent in January, after
seasonal adjustment.  Average weekly earnings increased by 1.6 percent.
Before seasonal adjustment, average hourly earnings rose 10 cents to $11.07
and average weekly earnings were down 96 cents to $379.70 in January.  Over
the year, average hourly earnings increased by 2.8 percent and average
weekly earnings by 3.7 percent.  (See table B-3.)

                    Revisions to Household Survey Data
 
Redesign of the survey
 
     Effective with the data for January 1994, estimates from the Current
Population Survey (CPS) reflect the results of a major redesign of the
survey.  The redesign was undertaken to obtain more accurate and
comprehensive information on the labor force activities of the population.
The survey questionnaire has been revamped to include many new and revised
questions regarding individuals' employment and unemployment activities,
and an automated data collection environment has been introduced.
 
     The new questionnaire and mode of data collection were tested using a
separate sample of 12,000 households per month between July 1992 and
December 1993.  The parallel survey showed differences in the levels and
ratios for many data series.  For example, as shown in table B, the annual
average unemployment rate for 1993 from the parallel test survey was 7.3
percent, compared with 6.8 percent in the CPS.
 
     The higher overall rate realized in the parallel survey was due
largely to an increase in measured unemployment among women, teenagers, and
persons 65 years and over.  Research to date suggests that the higher
unemployment figures may be associated with the elimination of an implicit
gender/age bias in the previous questionnaire.  This bias may have led
certain workers to underreport marginal job search activities.  The new
survey questionnaire is believed to elicit more accurate information on the
labor market activities of all workers.
 
     In addition to the changes in the questionnaire and collection
methodology, the measurement of some concepts was changed as part of the
redesign.  The biggest change occurred in the definition of discouraged
workers, which was altered to include the requirements that a person must
have searched for work in the prior year and be currently available to take
a job.  The result is a greatly reduced number of discouraged workers.
Similarly, the measurement of persons employed part time for economic
reasons (those who would prefer full-time work) was tightened by adding two
criteria for persons who usually work part time:  They must be explicitly
reported as desirous of and available for full-time work.  Previously, such
information was inferred.  The result is a smaller number of involuntary
part-time workers.  Many other changes have been made to improve the
accuracy of the survey and to provide additional information on labor force
topics.
 
Introduction of 1990 census population controls
 
     Also with the release of data for January 1994, population controls
projected forward from 1990 decennial census counts and adjusted for the
estimated population undercount are being introduced into the CPS.  From
January 1982 through December 1993, monthly intercensal population controls
had been based on projections carried forward from the 1980 census.  The
introduction of new population controls raises the total population levels
and particularly increases the proportion of the population that is
Hispanic.
 
     As shown in table C, when applied to 1993 annual average data, the new
population figures raise the level of the civilian noninstitutional
 
                                   - 6 -
 
population by about 1.3 million, the civilian labor force by 1.1 million,
employment by 950,000, and unemployment by 200,000, over published levels.
In addition, the unemployment rate was raised by 0.1 percentage point,
reflecting the overall increase in the Hispanic share of the population.
(Hispanics have above-average unemployment rates.)  While data for 1993 and
earlier years have not yet been revised to reflect the introduction of
these new population controls, revisions to historical data will be made at
some future date.
 
     The combined effects of the CPS redesign and the introduction of 1990
census-based population controls for selected 1993 annual averages are
shown in table D.  For a comprehensive examination of these effects, see
"Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective January 1994" in the
February 1994 issue of Employment and Earnings.
 
Changes in data presentation
 
     The redesign has necessitated changes in the publication of household
survey data in this release, as some series have been affected by
definitional changes, new series have been created, and others will no
longer be published.  Additional publication changes not directly related
to the redesign of the CPS also have been made at this time.  The most
important changes are described below.
 
Table changes/new tables
 
     Table A-4, Selected unemployment indicators.  The full- and part-time
unemployment rates reflect refined definitions of full- and part-time
employment.  The definitions are now based on workers' usual full- or part-
time status; previously, persons working part time for economic reasons
were included in the full-time labor force regardless of their usual
status.
 
     Table A-6, Reason for unemployment.  The new questionnaire explicitly
identifies persons who became unemployed after completing a temporary job,
allowing this category to be tabulated separately (seasonally adjusted data
are not yet available.)  In order to continue a seasonally adjusted series
which approximates the old "job losers" series, the new category "job
losers and persons who completed temporary jobs" has been introduced.
 
     Table A-8, Persons not in the labor force and multiple jobholders by
sex.  This new table contains not seasonally adjusted data on persons not
in the labor force, including data on discouraged workers, as well as
several new series on multiple jobholders.
 
Discontinued tables
 
     Old table A-7, Range of unemployment measures based on varying
definitions of unemployment and the labor force (also referred to as
alternative unemployment measures U-1 through U-7), has been temporarily
discontinued.  The new questionnaire results in many definitional and
measurement changes for several of these series.  Additionally, seasonally
adjusted data for discouraged workers are currently not available.  BLS
will conduct research into alternative unemployment measures and
reintroduce a revised range of alternative measures in the near future.

     1 These estimates differ slightly from previously published 1993
averages because of the estimation procedure used.
     2 These differences may not equal the results obtained from comparing
the values shown in the table because of independent rounding.
     NOTE:  Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin groups will not
sum to totals because data for the "other races" group are not presented

   1/  These are the official Bureau of Labor Statistics' estimates used in the administration of Federal fund allocation programs.
   2/ The population figures are not adjusted for seasonal variation; therefore, identical numbers appear in the unadjusted and the
seasonally adjusted columns.
   3/  Data have been revised to incorporate 1990 census-based population controls (covering the 1990-93 period) and updated
seasonal adjustment factors.  In addition, the data beginning with January 1994 are not directly comparable with those for 1993 and
prior years as a result of the redesign of the Current Population Survey questionnaire and collection methodology.
