SUMMARY EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENTDEVELOPMENTS, OCTOBER 1968

Nonf arm employment increased moderately inOctober, and unemployment declined in line withseasonal expectations. The overall unemploy-ment rate remained at 3.6 percent. The insuredunemployment rate edged down to 2.1 percent,equaling the post-World War II low recorded inlate 1966.

Industry Employment

Nonf arm payroll employment rose 135,000 inOctober to 68.5 million (seasonally adjusted).The increase would have been about 40,000greater except for a rise in the number ofworkers off payrolls because of strikes, attri-butable largely to an early October work stoppagein the coal industry.

Seasonally adjusted employment gains of about50,000 each took place in manufacturing, trade,and State and local government, while employ-ment in services increased by approximately25,000. Federal government employment declin-ed in October for the fourth straight month, fall-ing 15,000 from the September level.

The gain in manufacturing employment wasconcentrated in the transportation equipment andfabricated metal products industries and reflectsprimarily the strong demand for autos and otherdurable goods. In the nondurable goods sector,employment was unchanged over the month.

Unemployment

The number of unemployed per sons in October(2.5 million) declined seasonally by 100,000 fromSeptember. At 3.6 percent, the overall unemploy-ment rate was unchanged over the month and thesame as the average for the first 10 months of theyear.

Jobless rates for all major age-sex groupswere virtually unchanged over the month. Theseasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Octo-ber was 2.3 percent for men, 3.8 percent forwomen, and 12.7 percent for teenagers. The

unemployment situation among primarly bread-winners continued close to the post-Korean lows,as reflected in the rates for married men (1.7percent) and fullrtime workers (3.2 percent).

The number of persons unemployed 15 weeksor more totaled 390,000 in October (seasonallyadjusted), about equal to the 15-year low postedin the previous month. October was the fourthmonth in 1968 in which long-term unemploymentwas below 400,000.

Although the unemployment rate for whiteworkers remained unchanged in October, thenonwhite jobless rate rose to 7.4 percent from6.7 percent in September and 6.2 percent inAugust. For the first 10 months of 1968, theunemployment rate for nonwhites has averaged6.8 percent, below the 1967 rate of 7.4 percent.The recent increase in nonwhite unemploymentwas among teenagers and adult men.

Hours and Earnings

The average workweek in manufacturing was41.0 hours (seasonally adjusted) in October,off 0.1 hour from the September average but stillabove the 40.7 hours average for the first 10months of 1968. Most major manufacturingindustries reported lower hours in October.

For all rank and file workers on private pay-rolls, the seasonally adjusted workweek aver-aged 37.8 hours in October, down 0.2 hour fromthe 1968 high reached in the previous month.Nearly all major industry sectors showed smalldecreases in the number of hours worked.

Average hourly earnings for rank and fileworkers edged up one cent in October to $2.92.With the small reduction in the workweek, how-ever, average weekly earnings dropped by 20cents to $110.67. Compared with the October1967 level, average hourly earnings were up7.4 percent, and average weekly earnings roseby 7.1 percent.


Labor Force and Employment Trends

In contrast to rapid gains in 1936 and 1967,the Nation's labor force has grown more slowlythis year. At 78.9 million in October, it roseby only 750,000 from October 1967, the smallestincrease for this time period since 1961.

The recent pace of labor force growth reflectsa leveling; off among adult men and women. Theteenage increase has been in line with demo-

graphic trends. About three-fifths of the 750,000persons added to the labor force since October1967 have been adult women.

At 76.4 million, total employment was up 1.2million from the year-ago level. Nonagriculturalemployment rose by 1.5 million over this period,but the increase was partially offset by a 300,000decline in agricultural employment. Most of theover-the-year gain, however, was registeredlast winter. Since February, seasonally adjustedtotal employment has grown by only 200,000.
