Employment and Unemployment Developments,April 1975

Unemployment continued to increase in April, buttotal employment rose slightly. The unemploymentrate moved up to 8.9 percent from 8.7 percent inMarch. This was the highest rate since 1941 and nearlydouble the rate of October 1973, the pre-recession low.

Total employment (as measured by the monthlysurvey of households) rose by 240,000 in April to84.1 million. This represented the first employmentgain in 7 months; between last September and March,employment had receded by 2.6 million. With employ-ment and unemployment both rising, the labor forceposted a strong advance for the second month in arow, and the rate of labor force participation actuallyexceeded the year-earlier figure.

Total nonagricultural payroll employment (as meas-ured by the monthly survey of establishments) heldsteady in April at 76.3 million, as a continued drop inmanufacturing jobs was countered by small gains in theservices sector. Since last October's peak level, payrolljobs have diminished by 2.6 million, with all but200,000 of the reduction occurring in the goods-producing industries.

Unemployment

Unemployment rose by 200,000 in April to 8.2million, seasonally adjusted, following an increase of500,000 in the previous month. Since August 1974,when the extraordinarily large increases in unemploy-ment began, the jobless count has risen by 3.3 millionpersons. As has been the case throughout this recession,the April increase in unemployment stemmed primarilyfrom job loss. Since August, the number of joblosers has risen by 2.7 million, accounting for morethan four-fifths of the total increase. Job loss nowaccounts for 57 percent of total joblessness, comparedwith only 41 percent last August.

Most of the April increase in unemployment occurredamong adult men. Their jobless rate was 7.0 percent,up from 6.8 percent in March and at its highest levelsince July 1958. This rise was also reflected in unemploy-ment rate increases for married men and household

heads to 5.6 percent and 6.0 percent, respectively.Both the level and rate of unemployment for each ofthese three worker groups have doubled over the past year.

Unemployment rates for the other major demo-graphic groupsadult women (8.6 percent), teenagers(20.4 percent), whites (8.1 percent), and blacks (14.6percent)were all about unchanged in April butremained at or near record high levels.

Increases in joblessness were concentrated in theconstruction, manufacturing, and transportation andpublic utilities industries and among the blue-collaroccupational grouping. Jobless rates of 19.3 percent inconstruction and 12.2 percent in manufacturing werealltime recorded highs.

The unemployment rate of workers covered byState unemployment insurance programs reached 6.8percent in April, still somewhat below post-World WarII record levels. The number of workers claimingState unemployment insurance benefits, at 4.5 million,represented 55 percent of the jobless total, comparedwith 47 percent a year earlier.

The unemployment rate for Vietnam-era veteransaged 20-34 years rose from 9.0 percent in March to9.9 percent in April but was not materially differentfrom the jobless rate of nonveterans of the same ages(10.4 percent). The rate for young veterans (those20-24 years) soared to 22.8 percent in April; theycontinued to be the only group to have a substantiallyhigher jobless rate than their nonveteran counterparts.

The number of long-term unemployed (those joblessfor 15 weeks or longer) rose by 410,000 to a level of2.4 million in April. More than half of this increasecame among those persons unemployed for 6 monthsor longer. As a result of this lengthening in the joblessperiod for many workers, there was a marked jumpin the average (mean) duration of unemployment,by 1.5 weeks to 12.9 weeks. This was the highestlevel in more than 10 years. Since last November,average duration of unemployment has risen by 3.1weeks, and the number jobless for 15 weeks or morehas risen by 1.3 million.

Total employment and civilian labor force

Total employment rose by 240,000 in April to 84.1million, seasonally adjusted. This increase followedsix consecutive monthly employment declines thattotaled 2.6 million. Adult males, who have experiencedthe greatest number of job losses during this recession,accounted for more than half of the April employmentgain. On an occupational basis, employment increaseswere recorded among both craft and kindred workersand operatives, worker groups which have been severelyaffected by the slump in economic activity.

The civilian labor force rose for the second straightmonth, increasing by 430,000 to 92.3 million. All ofthe increase took place among adult workers. Overthe past year, the civilian labor force has risen by 1.9million, with adult women accounting for more than1.1 million of the rise and adult men the balance.

The civilian labor force participation ratethe pro-portion of the civilian population either working orlooking for workrose to 61.2 percent in April, upfrom 61.0 percent in both the previous month andApril a year ago. Labor force participation rates werehigher for both adult men (80.3 percent) and adultwomen (46.0 percent), the latter a record. The par-ticipation rate for teenagers, on the other hand, droppedsubstantially over the month to 53.9 percent.

Industry payroll employment

Total nonagricultural payroll employment, at 76.3million seasonally adjusted, was about unchanged fromMarch, following 5 straight months of sharp declines.Increases in employment from March to April occurredin about 43 percent of all industries, compared with26 percent from February to March and a recessionlow of only 17 percent from January to February.

Declines in manufacturing, which have played adominant role in the economic downturn, continuedin April but at a slower pace. The decrease occurred inthe durable goods sector, with machinery and primarymetals registering most of the decline; there werealso smaller job cutbacks in fabricated metals andelectrical equipment. Employment in transportationequipment, which had increased by 40,000 from Feb-ruary to March, held steady in April. A positivedevelopment in the factory job picture was an increasein textile and apparel jobs; these industries had beenvery hard hit in recent months.

The deteriorating job situation in contract con-struction appeared to be abating, as employment in theindustry held about steady in April at close to 3.5million.

Partially offsetting the manufacturing declines weresmall gains in several of the service-producing industries.Compared with April a year ago, employment in theservices industries has increased by 725,000, most ofwhich occurred before last October. In marked contrast,an over-the-year employment decline of 2.6 millionwas registered in the goods-producing industries.

Hours of work

Following an almost steady downward trend datingback to last fall, the average workweek for all productionor nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls edgedup in April to 36.0 hours, seasonally adjusted. Manu-facturing was a major contributor to this change,with a rise of 0.2 hour to 39.0 hours. Increases in thefactory workweek were posted in nearly every durablegoods industry and most of the nondurable industriesas well. However, factory overtime inched down to 2.2hours; since the April 1973 high, overtime hourshave dropped 1.9 hours.

Aggregate man-hours of private nonfarm productionor nonsupervisory workers, at 105.5 (1967=100), wasabout the same in April, following a 1.0-percent declinein March. Since last September, the index of totalworker hours has fallen 7.0 percent. After decliningfor 10 consecutive months, factory man-hours increasedby 0.2 percent in April to 86.1 (1967=100). However,the manufacturing index was still down 15.8 percentfrom last May.

Hourly and weekly earnings

Average hourly earnings of production or nonsuper-visory workers on nonfarm payrolls edged up 0.2percent in April, seasonally adjusted. Since April oflast year, hourly earnings have advanced by 8.3 percent.Average weekly earnings rose at a rate of 0.5 percentover the month and 6.5 percent over the year.

Before adjustment for seasonality, hourly earningsrose 1 cent in April to $4.44. Since April 1974, hourlyearnings were up 34 cents. Average weekly earningsrose 36 cents from March and $9.68 from Aprila year ago.

The hourly earnings index

The Hourly Earnings Indexearnings adjusted forovertime in manufacturing, seasonally, and the effectsof changes in the proportion of workers in high-wageand low-wage industrieswas 168.8 (1967=100) inApril, unchanged from March. The index was 9.4percent above April a year ago. During the 12-monthperiod ended in March, the Hourly Earnings Index indollars of constant purchasing power declined 0.4 percent.
