THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: JANUARY 1996 Nonfarm payroll employment declined by 201,000 in January and the unemployment rate edged up to 5.8 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Unusually severe weather in the eastern part of the country affected the number of payroll jobs in January and also caused a particularly large drop in the average workweek. The jobless rate has held within a relatively narrow range since late 1994. Unemployment (Household Survey Data) The number of unemployed persons increased by 294,000 in January to a level of 7.7 million. The unemployment rate edged up by 0.2 percentage point to 5.8 percent; it has fluctuated between 5.4 and 5.8 percent since the fall of 1994. The jobless rate for adult women rose by half a point in January to 5.1 percent. Rates for other major worker groups--adult men (4.9 percent), teenagers (18.0 percent), whites (5.0 percent), blacks (10.5 percent), and Hispanics (9.4 percent)--remained at or near their December levels. (See tables A-1 and A-2.) The number of unemployed persons on temporary layoff rose by 190,000 in January, while the number who had left their jobs voluntarily fell by 124,000. The number of newly unemployed persons (less than 5 weeks duration) showed an increase of 220,000 in January. (See tables A-5 and A- 6.) Total Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) Total employment, at 125.2 million in January, was little changed over the month. The proportion of the working-age population that was employed (the employment-population ratio), at 62.7 percent, also was little different from the December figure. The number of persons working part time for economic reasons fell by 263,000 to 4.2 million. (See tables A-1 and A-3.) The number of workers who held more than one job in January was 7.1 million (not seasonally adjusted). These multiple jobholders comprised 5.8 percent of all employed persons, the same as a year earlier. (See table A- 8.) - 2 - Table A.

The labor force participation rate, at 66.5 percent, has shown no clear trend since last spring. (See table A-1.) Persons Not in the Labor Force (Household Survey Data) About 1.7 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) were marginally attached to the labor force in January--that is, they wanted and were available for work but had stopped looking for jobs sometime in the prior 12 months. The number of discouraged workers--persons who had stopped looking for work specifically because they believed no jobs were available to them--was 409,000 in January. Both figures were close to their levels of a year ago. (See table A-8.) Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data) Total nonfarm payroll employment declined by 201,000 in January to 117.2 million, as a severe blizzard affecting the eastern portion of the country during the survey reference period kept workers off payrolls in a number of industries. The largest decline was in the services industry. Manufacturing employment also fell substantially, reflecting both the impact of the weather and continued weakness in several of its component industries. In addition to the weather effects, a strike in New York City that involved building maintenance employees in both the building services and real estate industries accounted for 20,000 of the overall employment decline. (See table B-1.) Employment in the services industry fell by 83,000 in January. The record snowfall resulted in declines in some industries, such as educational and business services, and limited growth in others, such as health services. Within business services, employment in help supply services was down by 61,000. While job growth in the help supply industry has been sluggish in recent months, Januarys large decline also reflected the impact of the storm. The number of jobs in building services was down over the month due to the New York City strike, which reduced employment by about 13,000 workers. Personal services employment increased by 20,000, reflecting strong seasonal hiring among tax preparers. Retail trade employment was down by 41,000 in January. The severe weather conditions contributed to the large employment declines in eating and drinking places and miscellaneous retail stores, such as toy and hobby shops. Transportation and public utilities employment fell by 9,000 in January, resulting mainly from the impact of the blizzard on the trucking and warehousing industry. Continuing a pattern of recent job gains, employment in finance increased by 10,000 in January, spurred on by growth in mortgage bankers and brokers and commercial banks. Employment in wholesale trade edged down, reflecting the weakness in manufacturing. Manufacturing employment fell by 72,000 in January. While employment in the industry has been on a downward trend since last April, severe weather conditions caused or added to Januarys job losses in a number of - 4 - industries, including apparel, textiles, lumber, and furniture. Employment in transportation equipment, which has been slipping since last spring, fell by 22,000 in January, due to temporary automobile plant shutdowns for inventory control. In contrast, employment in electronic components continued its long-term growth trend. The construction industry gained 13,000 jobs in January. Strong growth in some parts of the country not impacted by the blizzard, especially the West Coast, more than offset declines in the East. Weather- related job losses in parts of heavy construction were offset by snow- removal hiring in highway construction. Continuing its growth trend, employment in special trade contracting rose by 20,000; since August, job gains have totaled 93,000. Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data) The severe storm during the reference period had a negative impact on the average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls. The average workweek, which measures the number of hours paid, fell by 0.6 hour in January to 33.7 hours, seasonally adjusted. The manufacturing workweek declined by 1.4 hours, to 39.8 hours; factory overtime fell by 0.2 hour to 4.1 hours. (See table B-2.) The index of aggregate weekly hours of private production or nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls fell sharply (2.0 percent), on a seasonally adjusted basis, to 130.3 (1982=100) in January. The manufacturing index, 101.0, declined by 4.1 percent. (See table B-5.) Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data) Average hourly earnings of private production or nonsupervisory workers were up 6 cents in January to $11.68, seasonally adjusted; over the past year, average hourly earnings rose by 3.5 percent. Because of the decline in weekly hours, average weekly earnings fell by 1.2 percent to $393.62, a level that was little different from a year earlier. (See table B-3.) ____________________ The Employment Situation for February 1996 is scheduled to be released on Friday, March 8, at 8:30 A.M. (EST). - 5 - --------------------------------------------------------- | The recent shutdown and weather-related closing | | of many federal agencies, including the Bureau of | |Labor Statistics (BLS), has forced a delay in the | |updating of seasonal factors to be used in the first | |half of 1996 and the annual revisions in the | |seasonally adjusted household survey estimates. The | |seasonally adjusted household survey data for January | |1996 presented in this release are based on seasonal | |factors calculated for January 1995.

The | |revisions of the unadjusted series for 1990-93 to | |reflect 1990 census-based population controls, adjusted | |for the estimated undercount, also are being postponed. | |These revisions have been rescheduled for introduction | |with the release of February data on March 8. | | Effective with this release, BLS has discontinued | |publishing former table A-9, "Employment status of the | |civilian population for 11 large states." Because of | |budget reductions, the Current Population Survey sample | |is no longer of sufficient size to provide data for all | |of these states directly from the survey. Beginning | |with January 1996, estimates for these states will be | |based on the method currently used for each of the | |other states and the District of Columbia, and will be | |included in the news release, "State and Metropolitan | |Area Employment and Unemployment," usually issued | |about 4 weeks after "The Employment Situation" news | |release. | --------------------------------------------------------- HOUSEHOLD DATA Table A-1.
