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.)

The civilian labor force rose by 553,000 in January to a seasonally
adjusted level of 132.8 million. 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. Those factors |
|for major labor force estimates were published in the |
|January 1995 issue of Employment and Earnings. 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. |
