Employment andUnemployment Developments,October 1980

The Nation's unemployment rate was about unchang-ed in October, and the number of nonfarm jobs rose.

The overall unemployment rate was 7.6 percent,about the same as in the prior 2 months. There were,however, contrasting movements among major workergroups. In particular, the jobless rate for adult mendeclined over the month, while the rate for women rosesharply.

Total employmentas measured by the month-ly survey of householdswas about unchanged over themonth at 97.2 million. In contrast, nonfarmpayroll employmentas measured by the monthlysurvey of establishmentsincreased by 255,000 to 90.6million. The factory workweek rose for the third con-secutive month.

UnemploymentThe number of unemployed workers, at 8 million,

returned to its August level following a dip inSeptember. Unemployment was up 1.7 million from Oc-tober 1979, with adult men accounting for about 1million of the over-the-year increase. (See table A-33.)

The October unemployment rate of 7.6 percent waslittle changed from September's 7.5 percent but stillbelow the July level of 7.8 percent. Despite the stabilityin the overall jobless rate, there were contrastingmovements among adult men and women. Theunemployment rate for adult men dropped to 6.4 per-cent in October, the first time since April that it hasbeen outside the narrow range of 6.6 to 6.7 percent.However, the rate for adult women rose to 6.8 percent,following 2 months of decline. Both white and blackmen experienced declines in their jobless rates, whilewomen of both racial groups experienced unemploy-ment increases. A slight increase in the unemploymentrate for teenagers, to 18.4 percent, followed an evenlarger decline for this group in September. (See tablesA-33 and A-35.)

The jobless rate for workers in the construction in-dustry declined for the second month in a row and, at14.3 percent, was 4 percentage points below this year'speak rate which occurred in August. An increase in theunemployment rate for workers in nondurable goodsmanufacturing was largely offset by a decline for

workers in the durable goods industries. The jobless ratefor persons seeking part-time jobs rose, while that forthose seeking full-time jobs was unchanged. (See tableA-36.)

The number of unemployed persons who had losttheir last job declined by about 240,000 in October. Thiswas countered by an increase of about 220,000unemployed jobseekers who had Centered the laborforce. (See table A-39.)

Total employment and the labor forceTotal employment was about unchanged in October

at 97.2 million, following an increase of 200,000 inSeptember. White and black adult men both postedsmall job gains, while other major demographic groupsexperienced little change in their employment levels.(See tables A-33 and A-35.)

Despite increases totaling 640,000 since June, thenumber of employed persons in October was still780,000 below the February peak, with adult men ac-counting for three-quarters of the shortfall. The overallemployment-population ratio, at 58.2 percent, hasshown little change over the past 2 months and was 1.1points below February.

The civilian labor force, which includes boththe employed and unemployed, totaled 105.2 million inOctober. There was an over-the-year increase of 1.5million persons, all of which occurred prior to June ofthis year. This lack of labor force growth in recentmonths was reflected in a decline in the overall par-ticipation rate, from a record 64.2 percent in May to63.8 percent in September and October.

Industry payroll employmentThe number of employees on nonagricultural

payrolls rose by 255,000 in October, the third con-secutive monthly advance. Employment growth over themonth was widespread, occurring in 65 percent of the172 industries in the BLS diffusion index of private non-farm employment. Since July, the number of payrolljobs has increased by about 750,000, reaching a total of90.6 million. This was still 565,000 below the Februarypeak. (See tables B-4 and B-7.)


In the goods-producing sector, strong job gains wereposted in manufacturing and construction. In manufac-turing, the October increase of 95,000 brought theemployment total to 20.1 million; since July, employ-ment was up by 310,000. As in September, nearly all ofthe October increase occurred in the durable goods sec-tor. Most of the growth took place in the five majormetals and metal-using industriesprimary andfabricated metals, machinery, electrical equipment, andtransportation equipment. Employment showed littlechange in most of the nondurable goods industries,though there was a small decline in apparel and othertextile products.

In construction, employment rose by 40,000, aboutthe same magnitude as increases in each of the prior 2months. Despite this recent strength, employment in theindustry was about 300,000 below the January peak.

Moderate employment growth occurred throughoutthe service-producing sector, with gains concentrated inservices (55,000), wholesale trade (20,000), andtransportation and public utilities (15,000). An increaseof 20,000 in State and local government was accountedfor by the return to work of teachers who had been onstrike.

Hours of workThe average workweek for production or nonsuper-

visory workers on private nonfarm payrolls edged downby 0.1 hour to 35.1 hours in October, following in-creases in September and August. The manufacturingworkweek, however, increased 0.1 hour to 39.6 hoursand has risen 0.6 hour since July; factory hours haddeclined a total of 1.3 hours between January and July.

Factory overtime also increased 0.1 hour over themonth. (See table C-7.)

The index of aggregate weekly hours of production ornonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrollsrose 0.2 percent in October to 124.0 (1967 = 100). Theindex has increased by 1.7 percent since July but wasstill 2.4 percent below its January peak. The manufac-turing index was up 0.8 percent over the month and 3.8percent from July. (See table C-8.)

Hourly and weekly earningsAverage hourly earnings of production or nonsuper-

visory workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose 0.7 per-cent over the month and 8.4 percent over the pastyear (seasonally adjusted). Average weekly earningswere up 0.5 percent from September and 6.9 percentfrom October 1979.

Before adjustment for seasonality, average hourlyearnings rose 5 cents over the month to $6.84 and 53cents over the year. Average weekly earnings were$240.77, up $1.08 over the month and $15.50 over theyear. (See tables C-l and C-9.)

The Hourly Earnings IndexThe Hourly Earnings Indexearnings adjusted for

overtime in manufacturing, seasonality, and the effectsof changes in the proportion of workers in high-wageand low-wage industrieswas 257.2 (1967 = 100) in Oc-tober, 0.8 percent higher than in September.The Indexwas 9.4 percent above October a year ago. In dollars ofconstant purchasing power, the Index decreased 3.3percent during the 12-month period ended inSeptember. (See table C-9.)
