                    THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: JULY 1994
 
 
     Job growth continued in July and unemployment was little changed, the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today.
The number of nonfarm payroll jobs rose by 259,000 over the month, with
gains concentrated in services and retail trade.  The unemployment rate was
6.1 percent; it had been 6.0 percent in the prior 2 months.
 
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
 
     Both the number of unemployed persons, 8.0 million, and the
unemployment rate, 6.1 percent, were about unchanged in July, after
seasonal adjustment.  The jobless rate had declined by 0.7 percentage point
from January to May and has been relatively flat for the past 2 months.
(See table A-1.)
 
     The only major worker group that showed a significant change in
joblessness in July was adult men, whose unemployment rate increased by 0.3
percentage point to 5.6 percent, the same rate as in April.  Rates for
adult women (5.3 percent), teenagers (17.7 percent), whites (5.4 percent),
blacks (11.2 percent), and Hispanics (10.1 percent) showed little or no
change over the month.  (See tables A-1 and A-2.)
 
     The number of persons who were unemployed because they had lost their
last jobs or completed temporary jobs increased by 240,000 in July, to 3.9
million.  Due to declines earlier in the year, however, that level is still
down by about half a million since January.  The number of unemployed new
entrants to the labor force increased by 125,000 in July, after declining
by a similar magnitude in June.  (See table A-6.)
 
     ----------------------------------------------------------------
    |     Data from the household survey for 1994 are not directly   |
    |comparable with data for 1993 and earlier years because of the  |
    |implementation in January 1994 of a major redesign of the survey|
    |and the introduction of 1990 census-based population controls,  |
    |adjusted for the estimated undercount.  In addition, the 1994   |
    |data may be affected by the transition to the redesigned survey.|
    |For example, seasonal factors, of necessity, have been computed |
    |based on data collected in the survey prior to its revision,    |
    |and these factors may not fully capture the pattern of          |
    |seasonality in the current data.  Hence, over-the-month         |
    |comparisons of unemployment and other labor force estimates     |
    |should be made with caution.  For additional information on     |
    |the redesign, see "Revisions in the Current Population Survey   |

Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
 
     Total employment was about unchanged in July at 122.5 million, after
seasonal adjustment.  The employment-to-population ratio has hovered around
62.2 percent for most of 1994.   (See table A-1.)
 
     The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons fell by
360,000 in July to 4.4 million, after seasonal adjustment, while those
working part time for noneconomic reasons increased to 18.1 million.  (See
table A-3.)  The number of workers holding two or more jobs in July totaled
7.2 million (not seasonally adjusted), or 5.8 percent of all employed
persons (table A-8).
 
     The civilian labor force was about unchanged in July and has shown no
net growth thus far this year.  As a result, the proportion of the
population in the labor force has declined by 0.4 percentage point since
January.  (See table A-1.)
 
Discouraged Workers (Household Survey Data)
 
     The number of discouraged workers--persons who want jobs but have
given up searching because they do not think they could find work--was
542,000 in July (not seasonally adjusted).  An additional 1.3 million
former jobseekers reported that they would like to have a job and were
available to work in July, but were not currently looking for reasons such
as family obligations.  (See table A-8.)
 
Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
 
     Nonfarm payroll employment continued to show strength in July, rising
by 259,000 on a seasonally adjusted basis.  This followed an even larger
increase in June.  (See table B-1.)  So far this year, employment has grown
by 2.0 million, a monthly average gain of 279,000.
 
     Employment in the services industries rose by 138,000.  About half of
this advance took place in business services, with almost two-thirds in
personnel supply firms.  Health and social services accounted for much of
the remaining increase.  Weakness in two seasonal industries--amusement and
recreation, and hotels--occurred because a late survey week in June picked
up some of the job growth normally recorded in July.
 
     Retail trade employment increased by 75,000 in July, with eating and
drinking establishments, furniture stores, and food stores accounting for
the bulk of the expansion.  The transportation and public utilities
industry added 14,000 jobs, all in the transportation component.  Wholesale
trade had a smaller employment increase than it has had in recent months.
Employment in finance, insurance, and real estate was flat over the month,
as continued job losses in nondepository institutions (primarily among
mortgage bankers) offset additional gains in real estate.
 
     Construction employment was up by 25,000 in July (seasonally
adjusted), its average increase for the past year.  Hiring has slowed,
however, compared with the rapid pace in March and April.  Mining resumed
its pattern of small monthly employment losses.
 
     The number of factory jobs edged up by 6,000 in July, but employment
growth was held down as the number of workers on strike (and therefore not
on payrolls) rose by 12,000.  Among the nondurable goods industries, food
                                  - 4  -
 
processing, printing and publishing, and rubber and plastics had job gains
that were partially offset by losses in apparel.  Within durables, declines
took place in transportation equipment, particularly aircraft and parts,
and industrial machinery (due to strikes).  There were continued job gains
in the furniture industry.
 
Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
 
     The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on
private nonfarm payrolls was unchanged in July at 34.6 hours, seasonally
adjusted.  The manufacturing workweek fell by 0.1 hour for the third
consecutive month to 41.9 hours, which was still half an hour higher than a
year earlier.  Factory overtime was unchanged over the month at 4.6 hours.
(See table B-2.)
 
     As a result of the employment increase, the index of aggregate hours
of private production or nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls rose
0.4 percent to 129.2 (1982=100) in July.  The manufacturing index edged
down 0.3 percent to 105.0.  (See table B-5.)
 
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
 
     Both average hourly and weekly earnings of private production or
nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls rose 0.4 percent in July, after
seasonal adjustment, to $11.12 and $384.75, respectively.  Over the year,
average hourly earnings increased by 2.8 percent and average weekly
earnings by 3.1 percent.  (See table B-3.)

   1/  The population figures are not adjusted for seasonal variation; therefore,
identical numbers appear in the unadjusted and seasonally adjusted columns.
   2/  Data for 1994 are not directly comparable with data for 1993 and earlier years.
For additional information, see "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective
January 1994" in the February 1994 issue of Employment and Earnings.
   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 and Hispanics are included in
both the white and black population groups.

   1/  Unemployment as a percent of the civilian labor force.
   2/  Data for 1994 are not directly comparable with data for 1993 and earlier years.
For additional information, see "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective
January 1994" in the February 1994 issue of Employment and Earnings.
   3/  Seasonally adjusted unemployment data for service occupations are not available
because the seasonal components are small relative to the trend-cycle and/or irregular
components and consequently cannot be separated with sufficient precision.
