<\/a><\/p>\nThis news release presents statistics from two monthly surveys. The household survey measures labor force status, including unemployment, by demographic characteristics. The establishment survey measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry. For more information about the concepts and statistical methodology used in these two surveys, see the Technical Note.<\/p>\n
Household Survey Data<\/p>\n
Both the unemployment rate, at 5.9 percent, and the number of unemployed persons,
\nat 9.5 million, were little changed in June. These measures are down considerably
\nfrom their recent highs in April 2020 but remain well above their levels prior
\nto the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic (3.5 percent and 5.7 million, respectively,
\nin February 2020). (See table A-1. See the box note at the end of this news release
\nfor more information about how the household survey and its measures were affected
\nby the coronavirus pandemic.)<\/p>\n
Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (5.9 percent),
\nadult women (5.5 percent), teenagers (9.9 percent), Whites (5.2 percent), Blacks
\n(9.2 percent), Asians (5.8 percent), and Hispanics (7.4 percent) showed little
\nor no change in June. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)<\/p>\n
Among the unemployed, the number of job leavers–that is, unemployed persons who
\nquit or voluntarily left their previous job and began looking for new employment–
\nincreased by 164,000 to 942,000 in June. The number of persons on temporary layoff,
\nat 1.8 million, was essentially unchanged over the month. This measure is down
\nconsiderably from the high of 18.0 million in April 2020 but is 1.1 million above
\nthe February 2020 level. The number of permanent job losers, at 3.2 million, was
\nalso essentially unchanged over the month but is 1.9 million higher than in February
\n2020. (See table A-11.)<\/p>\n
In June, the number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more)
\nincreased by 233,000 to 4.0 million, following a decline of 431,000 in May. This
\nmeasure is 2.9 million higher than in February 2020. These long-term unemployed
\naccounted for 42.1 percent of the total unemployed in June. The number of persons
\njobless less than 5 weeks, at 2.0 million, changed little in June. (See table A-12.)<\/p>\n
The labor force participation rate was unchanged at 61.6 percent in June and has
\nremained within a narrow range of 61.4 percent to 61.7 percent since June 2020.
\nThe participation rate is 1.7 percentage points lower than in February 2020. The
\nemployment-population ratio, at 58.0 percent, was also unchanged in June but is
\nup by 0.6 percentage point since December 2020. However, this measure is 3.1
\npercentage points below its February 2020 level. (See table A-1.)<\/p>\n
The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons decreased by 644,000
\nto 4.6 million in June. This decline reflected a drop in the number of persons
\nwhose hours were cut due to slack work or business conditions. The number of persons
\nemployed part time for economic reasons is up by 229,000 since February 2020. These
\nindividuals, who would have preferred full-time employment, were working part time
\nbecause their hours had been reduced or they were unable to find full-time jobs.
\n(See table A-8.)<\/p>\n
In June, the number of persons not in the labor force who currently want a job was
\n6.4 million, little changed over the month but up by 1.4 million since February
\n2020. These individuals were not counted as unemployed because they were not
\nactively looking for work during the last 4 weeks or were unavailable to take a
\njob. (See table A-1.)<\/p>\n
Among those not in the labor force who currently want a job, the number of persons
\nmarginally attached to the labor force, at 1.8 million, changed little in June
\nbut is up by 393,000 since February 2020. These individuals wanted and were
\navailable for work and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months but
\nhad not looked for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. The number of
\ndiscouraged workers, a subset of the marginally attached who believed that no jobs
\nwere available for them, was 617,000 in June, essentially unchanged from the
\nprevious month but 216,000 higher than in February 2020. (See Summary table A.)<\/p>\n
Household Survey Supplemental Data<\/p>\n
In June, 14.4 percent of employed persons teleworked because of the coronavirus
\npandemic, down from 16.6 percent in the prior month. These data refer to employed
\npersons who teleworked or worked at home for pay at some point in the last 4 weeks
\nspecifically because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n
In June, 6.2 million persons reported that they had been unable to work because
\ntheir employer closed or lost business due to the pandemic–that is, they did not
\nwork at all or worked fewer hours at some point in the last 4 weeks due to the
\npandemic. This measure is down from 7.9 million in May. Among those who reported
\nin June that they were unable to work because of pandemic-related closures or
\nlost business, 10.0 percent received at least some pay from their employer for
\nthe hours not worked, little changed from the previous month. <\/p>\n
Among those not in the labor force in June, 1.6 million persons were prevented
\nfrom looking for work due to the pandemic. This measure is down from 2.5 million
\nin May. (To be counted as unemployed, by definition, individuals must be either
\nactively looking for work or on temporary layoff.)<\/p>\n
These supplemental data come from questions added to the household survey beginning
\nin May 2020 to help gauge the effects of the pandemic on the labor market. The data
\nare not seasonally adjusted. Tables with estimates from the supplemental questions
\nfor all months are available online at
\nwww.bls.gov\/cps\/effects-of-the-coronavirus-covid-19-pandemic.htm.<\/p>\n
Establishment Survey Data<\/p>\n
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 850,000 in June, following increases of
\n583,000 in May and 269,000 in April. In June, nonfarm payroll employment is up by
\n15.6 million since April 2020 but is down by 6.8 million, or 4.4 percent, from its
\npre-pandemic level in February 2020. Notable job gains in June occurred in leisure
\nand hospitality, public and private education, professional and business services,
\nretail trade, and other services. (See table B-1. See the box note at the end of
\nthis news release for more information about how the establishment survey and its
\nmeasures were affected by the coronavirus pandemic.)<\/p>\n
In June, employment in leisure and hospitality increased by 343,000, as pandemic-
\nrelated restrictions continued to ease in some parts of the country. Over half of
\nthe job gain was in food services and drinking places (+194,000). Employment also
\ncontinued to increase in accommodation (+75,000) and in arts, entertainment, and
\nrecreation (+74,000). Employment in leisure and hospitality is down by 2.2 million,
\nor 12.9 percent, from its level in February 2020.<\/p>\n
In June, employment rose by 155,000 in local government education, by 75,000 in
\nstate government education, and by 39,000 in private education. In both public and
\nprivate education, staffing fluctuations due to the pandemic, in part reflecting
\nthe return to in-person learning and other school-related activities, have distorted
\nthe normal seasonal buildup and layoff patterns, likely contributing to the job
\ngains in June. (Without the typical seasonal employment increases earlier, there
\nwere fewer layoffs at the end of the school year, resulting in job gains after
\nseasonal adjustment.) These variations make it more challenging to discern the
\ncurrent employment trends in these industries. Since February 2020, employment is
\ndown by 414,000 in local government education, by 168,000 in state government
\neducation, and by 255,000 in private education.<\/p>\n
Employment in professional and business services rose by 72,000 in June but is down
\nby 633,000 since February 2020. In June, employment rose in temporary help services
\n(+33,000), advertising and related services (+8,000), scientific research and
\ndevelopment services (+7,000), and legal services (+6,000). <\/p>\n
Retail trade added 67,000 jobs in June, but employment is down by 303,000, or 1.9
\npercent, since February 2020. Over the month, job growth in clothing and clothing
\naccessories stores (+28,000), general merchandise stores (+25,000), miscellaneous
\nstore retailers (+13,000), and automobile dealers (+8,000) was partially offset by
\nlosses in food and beverage stores (-13,000) and health and personal care stores
\n(-7,000).<\/p>\n
The other services industry added 56,000 jobs in June, with gains in personal and
\nlaundry services (+29,000), in membership associations and organizations (+18,000),
\nand in repair and maintenance (+9,000). Employment in other services is 297,000
\nlower than in February 2020. <\/p>\n
Employment in social assistance rose by 32,000 in June, largely in child day care
\nservices (+25,000). Employment in social assistance is down by 236,000 from its
\nlevel in February 2020.<\/p>\n
In June, wholesale trade added 21,000 jobs, with gains in both the durable and
\nnondurable goods components (+14,000 and +9,000, respectively). Employment in
\nwholesale trade is 192,000 lower than in February 2020.<\/p>\n
Employment in mining rose by 10,000 in June, reflecting a gain in support
\nactivities for mining. Mining employment is down by 110,000 since a peak in January
\n2019.<\/p>\n
Employment in manufacturing changed little in June (+15,000). Within the industry,
\njob gains in furniture and related products (+9,000), fabricated metal products
\n(+6,000), and primary metals (+3,000) were partially offset by a loss in motor
\nvehicles and parts (-12,000). Employment in manufacturing is down by 481,000 from
\nits level in February 2020.<\/p>\n
Employment in transportation and warehousing was little changed in June (+11,000).
\nEmployment gains in warehousing and storage (+14,000), air transportation (+8,000),
\nand truck transportation (+6,000) were partially offset by a loss in couriers and
\nmessengers (-24,000). Since February 2020, employment in transportation and
\nwarehousing is down by 94,000.<\/p>\n
Construction employment changed little in June (-7,000). Over-the-month job losses
\nin nonresidential specialty trade contractors (-15,000) and heavy and civil
\nengineering construction (-11,000) were partially offset by a gain in residential
\nspecialty trade contractors (+13,000). Employment in construction is 238,000 lower
\nthan in February 2020.<\/p>\n
In June, employment showed little change in other major industries, including
\ninformation, financial activities, and health care.<\/p>\n
Average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 10
\ncents to $30.40 in June, following increases in May and April (+13 cents and +20
\ncents, respectively). Average hourly earnings of private-sector production and
\nnonsupervisory employees rose by 10 cents to $25.68 in June. The data for recent
\nmonths suggest that the rising demand for labor associated with the recovery from
\nthe pandemic may have put upward pressure on wages. However, because average hourly
\nearnings vary widely across industries, the large employment fluctuations since
\nFebruary 2020 complicate the analysis of recent trends in average hourly earnings.
\n(See tables B-3 and B-8.)<\/p>\n
In June, the average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls decreased
\nby 0.1 hour to 34.7 hours. In manufacturing, the average workweek fell by 0.2 hour
\nto 40.2 hours, and overtime declined by 0.1 hour to 3.2 hours. The average workweek
\nfor production and nonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls declined by
\n0.2 hour to 34.1 hours. (See tables B-2 and B-7.)<\/p>\n
The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for April was revised down by 9,000,
\nfrom +278,000 to +269,000, and the change for May was revised up by 24,000, from
\n+559,000 to +583,000. With these revisions, employment in April and May combined
\nis 15,000 higher than previously reported. (Monthly revisions result from additional
\nreports received from businesses and government agencies since the last published
\nestimates and from the recalculation of seasonal factors.)<\/p>\n

\nThe Employment Situation for July is scheduled to be released on
\nFriday, August 6, 2021, at 8:30 a.m. (ET).<\/p>\n

\n| Coronavirus (COVID-19) Impact on June 2021 Household |
\n| and Establishment Survey Data\t\t\t\t |
\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t |
\n| Data collection for both surveys was affected by the pandemic. In the establishment\t |
\n| survey, more data continued to be collected by web than in months prior to the pandemic. |
\n| In the household survey, for the safety of both interviewers and respondents, in-person |
\n| interviews were conducted only when telephone interviews could not be done. \t\t |
\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t |
\n| As in previous months, some workers affected by the pandemic who should have been\t |
\n| classified as unemployed on temporary layoff were instead misclassified as employed but |
\n| not at work. However, the share of responses that may have been misclassified was\t |
\n| highest in the early months of the pandemic and has been considerably lower in recent\t |
\n| months. Since March 2020, BLS has published an estimate of what the unemployment rate\t |
\n| might have been had misclassified workers been included among the unemployed. Repeating |
\n| this same approach, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in June 2021 would have\t |
\n| been 0.2 percentage point higher than reported. However, this represents the upper bound |
\n| of our estimate of misclassification and probably overstates the size of the \t\t |
\n| misclassification error. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t |

\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t |
\n| Each year, the establishment survey estimates are benchmarked to comprehensive counts of |
\n| employment from the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) for the month of\t |
\n| March. These counts are derived from state unemployment insurance (UI) tax records that |
\n| nearly all employers are required to file. At 10:00 a.m. (ET) on August 18, 2021, the\t |
\n| Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will release the preliminary estimate of the upcoming |
\n| annual benchmark revision to the establishment survey data. This is the same day that\t |
\n| the first-quarter 2021 data from QCEW will be issued. Preliminary benchmark revisions\t |
\n| for all major industry sectors, as well as total nonfarm and total private employment, |
\n| will be available at www.bls.gov\/web\/empsit\/cesprelbmk.htm.\t\t\t\t |
\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t |
