Industry Payroll Employment (Establishment Survey Data) Total nonfarm payroll employment, at 130.7 million, was little changed (+41,000) for the third consecutive month. From the start of the recession in March 2001 through February 2002, job losses had averaged 160,000 a month. (See table B-1.) Employment in the services industry rose by 68,000 in May, following gains of similar magnitude in the prior 2 months. Employment growth in help supply services explains a large portion of the recent increases in the services industry. In May, help supply services added 25,000 jobs, for a gain of 126,000 since February. The industry had lost 806,000 jobs from September 2000 through February 2002. Engineering and management services added 23,000 jobs in May, notably in management and public relations. Health services also added jobs; the gain (16,000) was about the same as in April, but well below the average for the 12-month period ending in March. Job losses occurred in hotels and other lodging places (-13,000) for the second month in a row, following little change earlier in the year. In retail trade, job losses in eating and drinking places and department stores were partly offset by small employment gains in other retail indus- tries over the month. Eating and drinking places lost 33,000 jobs, bringing the decline in the industry so far this year to 59,000. Employment was unchanged in transportation and public utilities, following job losses totaling 347,000 from the industry's last employment peak in February 2001. Air transportation, communications, and transportation services accounted for approximately 85 percent of these losses. In government, employment in local education increased by 26,000 in May; this was partly offset by declines in the noneducation component of state government. In the goods-producing sector, employment in manufacturing edged down by 19,000 in May; factory job losses have moderated substantially since the beginning of the year. Employment had declined by an average of 115,000 a month from March 2001 through January 2002. A number of manufacturing industries have fared better this year, including industrial machinery, electronic equipment, fabricated metals, and transportation equipment. Employment in construction was about unchanged in May, as seasonal hiring just met expectations. Although construction has lost 242,000 jobs since March 2001, the decline has been relatively small compared with recent economic downturns. Employment in mining edged down by 3,000 in May. Since its recent peak last September, this industry has lost 11,000 jobs, primarily in oil and gas extraction. - 4 - Weekly Hours (Establishment Survey Data) The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls was unchanged in May at 34.2 hours, seasonally adjusted. The manufacturing workweek also was unchanged at 40.9 hours, and factory overtime was up by 0.1 hour to 4.3 hours. (See table B-2.) The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls edged down by 0.1 percent in May to 148.2 (1982=100). The manufacturing index was down by 0.2 percent over the month. (See table B-5.) Hourly and Weekly Earnings (Establishment Survey Data) Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 3 cents in May to $14.70, seasonally adjusted. Average weekly earnings rose by 0.2 percent over the month to $502.74. Over the year, both average hourly earnings and average weekly earnings increased by 3.2 percent. (See table B-3.)
