                      THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION:  JUNE 2007

   Nonfarm payroll employment increased by 132,000 in June, and the unemploy-
ment rate was unchanged at 4.5 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the 
U.S. Department of Labor reported today.  Employment rose in several service-
providing industries, while manufacturing employment continued to decline.
Average hourly earnings rose by 6 cents, or 0.3 percent, over the month.

Unemployment (Household Survey Data)

   The number of unemployed persons (6.9 million) was essentially unchanged in 
June, and the unemployment rate held at 4.5 percent.  The jobless rate has ranged 
from 4.4 to 4.6 percent since September 2006.  Over the month, the unemployment 
rates for adult men (4.1 percent), adult women (3.9 percent), teenagers (15.8 per-
cent), whites (4.0 percent), blacks (8.5 percent), and Hispanics (5.7 percent) 
showed little or no change.  The unemployment rate for Asians was 3.1 percent, not 
seasonally adjusted.  (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
   
   Both total employment (146.1 million) and the civilian labor force (153.1
million) were little changed in June.  The employment-population ratio (63.1
percent) and the labor force participation rate (66.1 percent) also were about
the same as in May.  (See table A-1.)
   
Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
   
   In June, 1.5 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally at-
tached to the labor force compared with 1.6 million a year earlier.  These
individuals wanted and were available to work and had looked for a job sometime
during the prior 12 months.  They were not counted as unemployed because they
had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.  Among the mar-
ginally attached, there were 401,000 discouraged workers in June, down from
481,000 a year earlier.  Discouraged workers were not currently looking for work
specifically because they believed no jobs were available for them.  The remain-
ing 1.1 million persons marginally attached to the labor force in June had not 
searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for reasons such as school 
attendance and family responsibilities.  (See table A-13.)

Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
   
   In June, total payroll employment rose by 132,000 to 138.0 million, seasonally 
adjusted.  This increase followed gains of 122,000 in April and 190,000 in May 
(as revised).  In June, employment rose in health care and social assistance, food 
services, and wholesale trade.  Manufacturing continued to lose jobs.  (See table B-1.)
   
   Health care employment grew by 30,000 in June, with gains in hospitals (+14,000) 
and in nursing and residential care facilities (+8,000).  Over the year, health care 
employment has expanded by 371,000.  Employment in social assistance was up by 13,000 
over the month.  This industry has added 84,000 jobs in the last 12 months.
   
   Food services and drinking places added 35,000 jobs in June.  Employment in this 
industry has risen by 387,000 over the year.  In June, wholesale trade employment in-
creased by 20,000, with gains in both its durable and nondurable components.
   
   Employment in government continued to trend up in June (+40,000).  Over the year, 
state and local governments together added 347,000 jobs, while federal employment 
was about unchanged.
   
   Professional and business services employment was little changed in June.  During 
the first 6 months of 2007, job growth in the industry averaged 13,000 per month com-
pared with an average of 42,000 per month in the last half of 2006.
   
   In financial activities, employment in credit intermediation and related activi-
ties fell by 9,000.  This loss was partially offset by a job gain in securities, com-
modity contracts, and investments (+6,000).  Retail trade employment edged down in June.  
General merchandise stores lost 10,000 jobs over the month, and smaller declines oc-
curred among other retail industries.
   
   Manufacturing employment continued to trend down in June (-18,000).  Job losses 
occurred in several component industries including primary metals (-5,000), computer 
and electronic products (-4,000), wood products (-4,000), and textile mills (-2,000).  
Partially offsetting the declines, machinery (+6,000) and beverages and tobacco pro-
ducts manufacturing (+3,000) added jobs over the month.
   
   Elsewhere in the goods-producing sector, employment in construction was little 
changed over the month.  Since its most recent peak in September, construction em-
ployment has declined by 44,000.

private nonfarm payrolls increased by 0.1 hour to 33.9 hours, seasonally ad-
justed.  Weekly hours for factory workers rose by 0.2 hour to 41.3 hours, while 
factory overtime hours increased by 0.1 hour to 4.3 hours.  (See table B-2.)
   
   The index of aggregate weekly hours of production and nonsupervisory workers
on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 0.5 percent in June to 107.8 (2002=100).  The 
manufacturing index increased by 0.3 percent to 95.6.  (See table B-5.)
   
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
   
   Average hourly earnings of production and nonsupervisory workers on private
nonfarm payrolls increased by 6 cents, or 0.3 percent, in June to $17.38, sea-
sonally adjusted.  This increase followed gains of 4 cents in April and 7 cents 
in May.  Average weekly earnings grew by 0.6 percent over the month to $589.18.  
Over the year, both average hourly and weekly earnings rose by 3.9 percent.

     Frequently Asked Questions about Employment and Unemployment Estimates


Why are there two monthly measures of employment?

   The household survey and establishment survey both produce sample-based
estimates of employment and both have strengths and limitations.  The estab-
lishment survey employment series has a smaller margin of error on the mea-
surement of month-to-month change than the household survey because of its
much larger sample size.  An over-the-month employment change of 104,000 is
statistically significant in the establishment survey, while the threshold for
a statistically significant change in the household survey is about 400,000.
However, the household survey has a more expansive scope than the establishment
survey because it includes the self-employed, unpaid family workers, agricul-
tural workers, and private household workers, who are excluded by the estab-
lishment survey.  The household survey also provides estimates of employment
for demographic groups.


Are undocumented immigrants counted in the surveys?

   Neither the establishment nor household survey is designed to identify the 
legal status of workers.  Thus, while it is likely that both surveys include 
at least some undocumented immigrants, it is not possible to determine how many 
are counted in either survey.  The household survey does include questions about 
whether respondents were born outside the United States.  Data from these ques-
tions show that foreign-born workers accounted for about 15 percent of the labor 
force in 2006 and about 47 percent of the net increase in the labor force from 
2000 to 2006.


Why does the establishment survey have revisions?

   The establishment survey revises published estimates to improve its data
series by incorporating additional information that was not available at the
time of the initial publication of the estimates.  The establishment survey
revises its initial monthly estimates twice, in the immediately succeeding
2 months, to incorporate additional sample receipts from respondents in the
survey.  For more information on the monthly revisions, please visit
http://www.bls.gov/ces/cesrevinfo.htm.

   On an annual basis, the establishment survey incorporates a benchmark
revision that re-anchors estimates to nearly complete employment counts
available from unemployment insurance tax records.  The benchmark helps to
control for sampling and modeling error in the estimates.  For more infor-
mation on the annual benchmark revision, please visit http://www.bls.gov/
web/cesbmart.htm.


Has the establishment survey understated employment growth because it excludes
the self-employed?

   While the establishment survey excludes the self-employed, the household
survey provides monthly estimates of unincorporated self-employment.  These
estimates have shown no substantial growth in recent years.


Does the establishment survey sample include small firms?

   Yes; about 40 percent of the establishment survey sample is comprised of
business establishments with fewer than 20 employees.  The establishment survey
sample is designed to maximize the reliability of the total nonfarm employment
estimate; firms from all size classes and industries are appropriately sampled
to achieve that goal.


                                  - 6 -
                                  
Does the establishment survey account for employment from new businesses?

   Yes; monthly establishment survey estimates include an adjustment to account
for the net employment change generated by business births and deaths.  The ad-
justment comes from an econometric model that forecasts the monthly net jobs im-
pact of business births and deaths based on the actual past values of the net
impact that can be observed with a lag from the Quarterly Census of Employment
and Wages.  The establishment survey uses modeling rather than sampling for this
purpose because the survey is not immediately able to bring new businesses into
the sample.  There is an unavoidable lag between the birth of a new firm and its
appearance on the sampling frame and availability for selection.  BLS adds
new businesses to the survey twice a year.


Is the count of unemployed persons limited to just those people receiving
unemployment insurance benefits?

   No; the estimate of unemployment is based on a monthly sample survey of
households.  All persons who are without jobs and are actively seeking and
available to work are included among the unemployed.  (People on temporary
layoff are included even if they do not actively seek work.)  There is no
requirement or question relating to unemployment insurance benefits in the
monthly survey.


Does the official unemployment rate exclude people who have stopped looking for
work?

   Yes; however, there are separate estimates of persons outside the labor force
who want a job, including those who have stopped looking because they believe no
jobs are available (discouraged workers).  In addition, alternative measures of
labor underutilization (discouraged workers and other groups not officially count-
ed as unemployed) are published each month in the Employment Situation news release.

Technical 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.

   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.
 
                                  - 9 -
 
   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 stan-
dard 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.
 
                                  - 10 -
 
   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 0.6 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
