THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION: DECEMBER 1990
WASHINGTON--Unemployment for blacks, at 12.2 percent,
remained unchanged between November and December, according to
the U.S. Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics. Overall
unemployment worsened, however, increasing from November's 5.9
percent to 6.1 percent in December.
Unemployment for black teens grew from November's 35.2
percent to 36.0 percent in December. Black teen men showed a
substantial increase in joblessness, from 33.2 percent in
November to 36.4 percent in December. Unemployment for black
teen women dropped slightly, from 37.5 percent in November to
35.6 percent in December.
Unemployment for black women went from 10.2 percent in
November to 10.6 percent in December. Unemployment for black men
decreased slightly, from November's 11.2 percent to 10.9 percent
in December.
The jobless rate for blacks is up almost a percentage point
from December 1989, when the rate was 11.4 percent. Black men
had an unemployment rate of 10.5 percent in December 1989, while
9.6 percent of black women were unemployed and 29.5 percent of
black teens could not find work.
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
The number of unemployed persons rose by 260,000 to 7.6
million in December, and the civilian worker unemployment rate
rose to 6.1 percent. Since June, the jobless count has risen by
million and the jobless rate has increased by eight-tenths of a
percentage point, reaching its highest level since June 1987.
Jobless rates for most major worker groups continued their
upward trend in December. Specifically, the rates rose to 5.6
percent for adult men, 5.3 percent for adult women, 5.3 percent
for whites, and 9.3 percent for Hispanics. The rate for
teenagers (16.6 percent) was little changed.
Persons reentering the labor force accounted for most of the
increased unemployment in December. The number of unemployed who
lost their last jobs was about unchanged but, at 3.8 million, was
600,000 higher than in June. The number of persons working part
time for economic reasons--sometimes referred to as the partially
unemployed--edged up by 150,000 to 5.6 million in December and
has risen by 560,000 since June.

EMPLOYMENT P.2
Civilian Employment and the Labor Force (Household Survey Data)
Following declines in October and November, total civilian
employment was little changed in December at 117.6 million.
Since June, the number of employed persons has fallen by nearly
700,000 (some of which stemmed from cutbacks in employment of
temporary census workers). At 62.3 percent in December, the
percentage of the population that is employed (the
employment-population ratio) was six-tenths of a percentage point
lower than in June.
The civilian labor force showed an increase of 450,000 in
December, reaching 125.2 million. Over the past year, however,
the labor force has risen by only 630,000. The civilian labor
force participation rate edged back up to 66.3 percent in
Csecember, following steady declines during most of the second
half of the year.
Discouraged Workers (Household Survey Data)
The number of discouraged workers--persons who want to work
but are not looking for jobs because they believe they could not
find any--increased by 110,000 in the fourth quarter of 1990 to a
seasonally adjusted level of 940,000. This was the highest level
since the first quarter of 1988. Women accounted for all of the
increase in discouragement in the fourth quarter.
Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data)
Nonfarm payroll employment decreased by 75,000 in December
to 110.1 million. While much smaller than in the prior 2 months,
job losses were still widespread. The largest declines occurred
in retail trade, manufacturing, and construction.
Following extremely large cutbacks in November,
manufacturing employment declined by 35,000 in December. Most
manufacturing industries showed only small declines, but
noteworthy losses occurred in industrial machinery as well as in
several construction and auto-related industries--lumber; stone,
clay, and glass; fabricated metals; and rubber and plastics.
Employment in motor vehicles and equipment was up by 20,000 in
December, reflecting the return of some auto workers from
temporary layoffs; still, auto employment was about 55,000 lower
than in mid-1990.
Employment in construction (seasonally adjusted) was down by
30,000 in December, following substantially larger losses in the
prior 2 months. Since May, construction declines have totaled
290,000. Mining had a small job gain in December, mostly in oil
and gas extraction.

EMPLOYMENT P.3
In the service-producing sector, retail trade lost 50,000
jobs in December, after seasonal adjustment, with half of the
decline in general merchandise (department and variety) stores.
In part because employers did not staff up as much as they
usually do for the Christmas buying period, retail employment
fell by 150,000 over the past 3 months. Wholesale trade
had its fourth straight monthly employment decrease in SS ORRORE'S
employment in this industry is down 55,000 since June.
In the services industry, health services added 55,000 jobs
in December and has increased its employment at about that pace
throughout the year. In contrast, employment in business
services declined for the third straight month and has lost
40,000 jobs since September.
Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data)
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory
workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 0.2: hour in December
to 34.6 hours, seasonally adjusted, bringing the average workweek
close to the September level. The manufacturing workweek
increased 0.3 hour to 40.8 hours, seasonally adjusted, and
factory overtime rose by 0.2 hour to 3.7 hours.
The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or
nonsupervisory workers increased by 0.6 percent to 124.2
(1982=100) in December, seasonally adjusted. The index for
manufacturing rose by 0.7 percent to 104.2, seasonally adjusted.
Over the year, however, the manufacturing index was down by 3.3
percent, reflecting the declines in employment.
Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data)
Average hourly earnings of private production or
nonsupervisory workers rose by 0.6 percent on a seasonally
adjusted basis to $10.20 in December. Average weekly earnings
rose by 1.2 percent, seasonally adjusted, to $352.92. Prior to
seasonal adjustment, average hourly earnings were up 4 cents and
average weekly earnings increased by $6.48. Over the past year,
average hourly earnings increased by 3.8 percent and
average weekly earnings by 4.4 percent.

STATE AND METROPOLITAN AREA EMPLOYMENT
AND UNEMPLOYMENT: _OCTOBER_1990
WASHINGTON -- Unemployment rates were higher this October than
a year earlier in 25 states and the District of Columbia, according
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor.
The national unemployment rate, not seasonally adjusted, for all
civilian workers, was up 0.4 percentage point over the year, from
5.0 to 5.4 percent. In 41 states, employment on nonfarm payrolls
was higher in October 1990 than a year earlier.
Because the data for individual states and areas are not
seasonally adjusted, comparisons in this release are limited to
changes from the same month a year earlier. Over-the-month
comparisons may be affected by seasonal changes and thus could
present a misleading picture of underlying economic trends.
Unemployment
Ten states and the District of Columbia reported October
1989-90 increases in their unemployment rate of 1 percentage point
or more. The largest increase was in the District of Columbia (2.2
points), followed by Massachusetts (1.9 points), Delaware (1.8
points), and Pennsylvania (1.5 points). West Virginia was the only
state with-an unemployment rate decline of more than 1 percentage
point.
Six states had October unemployment rates below 4 percent,
with Nebraska (2.0 percent) and Hawaii (2.8 percent) having the
lowest rates. In contrast, unemployment rates were higher than 7
percent in three states--West Virginia (8.1 percent), Alabama (7.3
percent), and Michigan (7.2 percent).
Of the 269 metropolitan areas for which October data are
available, 50.had over-the-year increases of 1 percentage point or
more in their unemployment rate, while 29 had decreases of that
magnitude. A total of 57 areas had October 1990 rates below 4
percent, while 39 had rates of 7 percent or higher. The lowest
rates were in Lincoln, Nebr. (1.6 percent), Iowa City, Iowa (1.7
percent), and Madison, Wisc., and Fargo-Moorhead, N. D. (both 2.1
percent), and Lafayette-West Lafayette, Ind. (2.2 percent).
The highest rates were in McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, Tex. (14.5
percent); two California areas--Bakersfield (10.6 percent) and
Modesto (10.1 percent); and Flint, Mich. (10.3 percent).

STATE & METRO P.2
Employment
Nonfarm payroll employment, as measured by the monthly survey
of establishments, rose by 2 percent or more between October 1989
and 1990 in 13 states. Nevada continued to report the largest
percentage gain (6.6 percent), and Utah was the only other state
with an increase in excess of 4 percent. All six New England
states, the District of Columbia, Michigan, New Jersey, and New
York reported over-the-year employment losses.
Nearly all states reported over-the-year job gains in
services, and three-fourths of the states had increases in
transportation and public utilities, trade, and government. In
contrast, over half of the states reported over-the-year employment
losses in construction and manufacturing. Over-the-year employment
declines in construction exceeding 10 percent occurred in the New
England states, New Jersey, and New York. In manufacturing, the
largest percentage decreases were concentrated along the east coast
from Maine to Florida.
