                   THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION:  JUNE 2002


   The unemployment rate was essentially unchanged in June, at 5.9
percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor
reported today.  Payroll employment was little changed for the fourth 
month in a row, and none of the major industry groups showed any signifi-
cant change.  Average hourly earnings grew by 6 cents in June, following 
5 months of small increases.
   
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
   
   The number of unemployed persons (8.4 million) and the unemployment 
rate (5.9 percent) were essentially unchanged in June for the second 
month in a row.  Both measures, however, were higher in the second quar-
ter of this year than in the first quarter.  (See table A.)  In June, 
jobless rates for adult men (5.4 percent), adult women (5.1 percent), 
teenagers (17.6 percent), whites (5.2 percent), blacks (10.7 percent), 
and Hispanics (7.4 percent) showed little or no change from the previous 
month.  (See tables A-1 and A-2.)
   
   The number of persons unemployed for 15 weeks or more increased in June
to 3.1 million.  The number of such persons has grown by nearly 700,000 so
far this year and, since June 2001, has about doubled.  (See table A-6.)
   
Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
   
   The civilian labor force fell by 293,000 to 142.5 million in June,
after seasonal adjustment, and the labor force participation rate declined
to 66.6 percent.  Over the year, however, the labor force has increased by
about 1 million.  (See table A-1.)
   
   The number of employed persons decreased over the month by 364,000 to
134.1 million, seasonally adjusted, while the employment-population ratio
fell to 62.7 percent.  Total employment in June was nearly 1 million lower
than a year earlier and the employment-population ratio was 1.1 percentage
points lower.  (See table A-1.)
   
Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
   
   About 1.4 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally
attached to the labor force in June, up from 1.2 million a year earlier.
These individuals reported that they wanted and were available for work 
and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months.  They were not
counted as unemployed, however, because they had not actively searched for
work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.  The number of discouraged
workers was 337,000 in June.  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-10.)

Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)

   Total nonfarm payroll employment, at 130.7 million, was little changed in 
June (+36,000) for the fourth consecutive month.  In contrast, payroll employ-
ment had fallen by an average of 160,000 jobs a month from the start of the 
economic downturn in March 2001 through February 2002.  (See table B-1.)
   
   Employment in manufacturing declined by 23,000 in June.  Job losses in
the industry have moderated substantially since the beginning of the year.
Between March 2001 and January 2002, manufacturing had lost an average of
115,000 jobs a month.  By comparison, in February and March, losses averaged 
63,000 a month and, from April through June, 24,000 a month.  The June losses 
occurred primarily within durable goods manufacturing, particularly in elec-
tronic and electrical equipment, primary metals, lumber and wood products, 
and aircraft and parts manufacturing.  In the nondurable goods sector, job 
losses continued in printing and publishing.
   
   Construction employment edged up over the month.  From March 2001
through May 2002, the construction industry lost 243,000 jobs, a smaller
decline than in prior economic downturns.  Employment in mining was little
changed in June.  Since its recent peak in September 2001, the industry has
lost 14,000 jobs, with most of the losses in oil and gas extraction.
   
   Employment in the services industry was little changed in June fol-
lowing 3 months of job gains.  These prior gains were fueled, in large
part, by job increases in the help supply industry.  In June, however,
employment in help supply was essentially flat, after seasonal adjustment.
Employment in health services rose by 34,000, mainly in hospitals.  In
contrast, engineering and management services lost 21,000 jobs over the
month.
   
   In retail trade, employment declined in car dealerships, and department
stores lost jobs for the second consecutive month.  Employment in eating
and drinking places was essentially unchanged over the month; the industry
has lost 186,000 jobs since its most recent peak in July 2001.
   
   Transportation and public utilities employment was essentially unchanged 
over the month, after seasonal adjustment.  Job losses in communications 
partly offset job gains in local and interurban passenger transit and in air 
transportation.  In finance, employment increased in mortgage brokerages 
(7,000) and in security and commodity brokerages (4,000).  The non-education 
component of local government added 20,000 jobs.
   
Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
   
   The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private 
nonfarm payrolls ticked up by 0.1 hour in June to 34.3 hours, seasonally 
adjusted.  The manufacturing workweek was up by 0.2 hour to 41.1 hours, and 
factory overtime edged up by 0.1 hour to 4.3 hours.  Since November, the fac-
tory workweek has increased by 0.7 hour and factory overtime by 0.5 hour.  
(See table B-2.)
   
   The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory
workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 0.3 percent in June to 148.6
(1982=100).  The manufacturing index also was up by 0.3 percent over the
month.  (See table B-5.)
   
                                  - 4 -

Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
   
   Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on private 
nonfarm payrolls increased by 6 cents in June to $14.76, seasonally adjusted.  
June's gain brought the total increase for the second quarter to 11 cents.  
This was greater than the increase of 9 cents in the first quarter, but less 
than the 2001 average quarterly increase of 13 cents.  Average weekly earn-
ings rose by 0.7 percent over the month to $506.27.  Over the year, average 
hourly earnings increased by 3.3 percent and average weekly earnings grew by 
3.6 percent.  (See table B-3.)

 |   Upcoming Changes to National Nonfarm Payroll Series in June 2003   |
 |                                                                      |
 |   NAICS conversion.  The nonfarm payroll series, produced from the   |
 | Current Employment Statistics (CES) program, will be converted from  |
 | the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) basis to the 2002  |
 | North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) basis with the |
 | June 6, 2003, release of May 2003 estimates.  The NAICS conversion   |
 | involves major definitional changes to many of the currently publish-|
 | ed SIC-based series.  After the conversion to NAICS, SIC-based       |
 | series will no longer be produced or published.  Historical time     |
 | series will be reconstructed as part of the NAICS conversion pro-    |
 | cess.  All published series will have a NAICS-based history extend-  |
 | ing back to at least January 1990.  For total nonfarm and other      |
 | high-level aggregates, NAICS history will begin in January 1939,     |
 | the current start date for these series.  For more detailed series,  |
 | the starting date will vary depending on the scope of the defini-    |
 | tional changes between SIC and NAICS.  The NAICS-based reconstruc-   |
 | tion effort will cover all CES published data types: all employees,  |
 | women workers, production workers, average weekly hours, average     |
 | hourly earnings, and derivative series (for example, indexes of ag-  |
 | gregate weekly hours).                                               |
 |                                                                      |
 |   Completion of the CES sample redesign.  June 6, 2003, also will    |
 | mark the completion of the CES sample redesign phase-in.  The rede-  |
 | sign converts the CES from a quota-based sample to a probability-    |
 | based sample.  In June 2003, the services industries will be con-    |
 | verted to the new sample design; all other private sector indus-     |
 | tries have already been converted.  The final stage of sample re-    |
 | design phase-in may result in level shifts for average weekly hours, |
 | average hourly earnings, production worker, and women worker series. |
 | New levels for these series are being computed from NAICS/probabi-   |
 | lity sample-based averages.                                          |
 |                                                                      |
 |   Concurrent seasonal adjustment.  Also beginning in June 2003, the  |
 | CES program will convert from its current practice of updating sea-  |
 | sonal factors twice a year to updating them every month.  Concurrent |
 | seasonal adjustment is technically superior to semiannual updates be-|
 | cause it uses all available monthly estimates, including those for   |
 | the current month, thereby eliminating the need to project the sea-  |
 | sonal factors.  With the introduction of concurrent seasonal adjust- |
 | ment, BLS will no longer publish seasonal factors for CES national   |
 | estimates.                                                           |
 |                                                                      |
 |   Change to federal government series.  The CES series for federal   |
 | government employment will be revised slightly in scope and defini-  |
 | tion due to a change in source data and estimation methods.  The cur-|
 | rent national series is an end-of-month federal employee count pro-  |
 | duced by the Office of Personnel Management, and it excludes some    |
 | workers, mostly employees who work in Department of Defense-owned    |
 | establishments such as military base commissaries.  Beginning in     |
 | June 2003, the CES national series will include these workers.       |
 | Also, federal government employment will be estimated from a sample  |
 | of federal establishments, will be benchmarked annually to counts    |
 | from unemployment insurance tax records, and will reflect employee   |
 | counts as of the pay period including the 12th of the month, consis- |
 | tent with other CES industry series.  The historical time series for |
 | federal government employment will be revised to reflect these       |
 | changes.                                                             |
 |                                                                      |

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.  In June 2002,
the sample included about 300,000 establishments employing about 37 million
people.
 
 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-producing sector.

                                  - 7 -
 
 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.
 
 Other differences between the two surveys are described in "Comparing
Employment Estimates from Household and Payroll Surveys," which may be
obtained from BLS upon request.

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 major
industry divisions, total employment, and unemployment are computed by
aggregating independently 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 directly adjusting the total or by combining the duration,
reasons, or more detailed age categories.
 
 The numerical factors used to make the seasonal adjustments are
recalculated twice a year.  For the household survey, the factors are
calculated for the January-June period and again for the July-December

                                  - 8 -

period.  For the establishment survey, updated factors for seasonal
adjustment are calculated for the May-October period and introduced along
with new benchmarks, and again for the November-April period.  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
292,000.  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 -192,000 to 392,000 (100,000 +/- 292,000).
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.  The 90-percent confidence interval for the monthly change in
unemployment is +/- 273,000, and for the monthly change in the unemployment
rate it is +/- .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.
 
 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
(and other sources of error), a process known as bias adjustment is
included in the survey's estimating procedures, whereby a specified number
of jobs is added to the monthly sample-based change.  The size of the

                                  - 9 -

monthly bias adjustment is based largely on past relationships between the
sample-based estimates of employment and the total counts of employment
described below.
 
 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:  This range of alternative measures of labor underutilization replaces the U1-U7 range published in table A-7 of
  this release prior to 1994.  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.
