Washington, DC...Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 254,000 in September, and the unemployment rate\r\nchanged little at 4.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Employment\r\ncontinued to trend up in food services and drinking places, health care, government, social\r\nassistance, and construction.  \r\n\r\n\"\"<\/a>\r\n \r\nThis news release presents statistics from two monthly surveys. The household survey measures\r\nlabor force status, including unemployment, by demographic characteristics. The establishment\r\nsurvey measures nonfarm employment, hours, and earnings by industry. For more information\r\nabout the concepts and statistical methodology used in these two surveys, see the Technical\r\nNote.\r\n\r\n ____________________________________________________________________________________________\r\n|  \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t     |\r\n|                                     Hurricane Francine\t\t\t\t     |\r\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t     |\r\n| Hurricane Francine made landfall in southern Louisiana on September 11, 2024, during the   |\r\n| reference periods for both the household and establishment surveys. Our analysis suggests  |\r\n| that Hurricane Francine had no discernible effect on national payroll employment, hours,   |\r\n| and earnings from the establishment survey, or the national unemployment rate from the     |\r\n| household survey. Response rates for the two surveys were within normal ranges for\t     |\r\n| September. For information on how unusually severe weather can affect employment and\t     |\r\n| hours estimates, see the Frequently Asked Questions section of this news release. \t     |\r\n|\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t     |\r\n| BLS will release the state estimates of employment and unemployment for September on\t     |\r\n| October 22, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (ET).\t\t\t\t\t\t\t     |\r\n|____________________________________________________________________________________________|\r\n\r\nHousehold Survey Data\r\n\r\nBoth the unemployment rate, at 4.1 percent, and the number of unemployed people, at 6.8\r\nmillion, changed little in September. These measures are higher than a year earlier, when the\r\njobless rate was 3.8 percent, and the number of unemployed people was 6.3 million. (See table\r\nA-1.)\r\n\r\nAmong the major worker groups, the unemployment rate for adult men (3.7 percent) decreased in\r\nSeptember. The jobless rates for adult women (3.6 percent), teenagers (14.3 percent), Whites\r\n(3.6 percent), Blacks (5.7 percent), Asians (4.1 percent), and Hispanics (5.1 percent) showed\r\nlittle or no change over the month. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)\r\n\r\nThe number of people jobless less than 5 weeks decreased by 322,000 to 2.1 million in September. \r\nThe number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks or more) was little changed over\r\nthe month at 1.6 million. This measure is up from 1.3 million a year earlier. In September, the\r\nlong-term unemployed accounted for 23.7 percent of all unemployed people. (See table A-12.)\r\n\r\nIn September, the labor force participation rate was 62.7 percent for the third consecutive\r\nmonth, and the employment-population ratio was little changed at 60.2 percent. Both measures\r\nchanged little over the year. (See table A-1.)\r\n \r\nThe number of people employed part time for economic reasons changed little at 4.6 million in\r\nSeptember. This measure is up from 4.1 million a year earlier. These individuals would have\r\npreferred full-time employment but were working part time because their hours had been reduced\r\nor they were unable to find full-time jobs. (See table A-8.)\r\n\r\nThe number of people not in the labor force who currently want a job, at 5.7 million, changed\r\nlittle in September. These individuals were not counted as unemployed because they were not\r\nactively looking for work during the 4 weeks preceding the survey or were unavailable to take\r\na job. (See table A-1.)\r\n\r\nAmong those not in the labor force who wanted a job, the number of people marginally attached\r\nto the labor force increased by 204,000 to 1.6 million in September. These individuals wanted\r\nand were available for work and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months but had\r\nnot looked for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey. The number of discouraged workers, a\r\nsubset of the marginally attached who believed that no jobs were available for them, changed\r\nlittle at 445,000 in September. (See Summary table A.)\r\n\r\nEstablishment Survey Data\r\n\r\nTotal nonfarm payroll employment increased by 254,000 in September, higher than the average\r\nmonthly gain of 203,000 over the prior 12 months. In September, employment continued to trend\r\nup in food services and drinking places, health care, government, social assistance, and\r\nconstruction. (See table B-1.)\r\n\r\nEmployment in food services and drinking places rose by 69,000 in September, well above the\r\naverage monthly gain of 14,000 over the prior 12 months.\r\n\r\nHealth care added 45,000 jobs in September, below the average monthly gain of 57,000 over the\r\nprior 12 months. Over the month, employment rose in home health care services (+13,000),\r\nhospitals (+12,000), and nursing and residential care facilities (+9,000).\r\n\r\nEmployment in government continued its upward trend in September (+31,000). Government had an\r\naverage monthly gain of 45,000 jobs over the prior 12 months. Over the month, employment\r\ncontinued to trend up in local government (+16,000) and state government (+13,000).\r\n\r\nEmployment in social assistance increased by 27,000 in September, primarily in individual and\r\nfamily services (+21,000). Over the prior 12 months, social assistance had added an average of\r\n21,000 jobs per month.\r\n\r\nConstruction employment continued to trend up in September (+25,000), similar to the average\r\nmonthly gain over the prior 12 months (+19,000). Over the month, nonresidential specialty\r\ntrade contractors added 17,000 jobs.\r\n\r\nEmployment showed little change over the month in other major industries, including mining,\r\nquarrying, and oil and gas extraction; manufacturing; wholesale trade; retail trade;\r\ntransportation and warehousing; information; financial activities; professional and business\r\nservices; and other services.\r\n\r\nIn September, average hourly earnings for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls increased\r\nby 13 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $35.36. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have\r\nincreased by 4.0 percent. In September, average hourly earnings of private-sector production\r\nand nonsupervisory employees increased by 8 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $30.33. (See tables B-3\r\nand B-8.)\r\n\r\nThe average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls edged down by 0.1 hour to\r\n34.2 hours in September. In manufacturing, the average workweek was unchanged at 40.0 hours,\r\nand overtime edged down by 0.1 hour to 2.9 hours. The average workweek for production and\r\nnonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls remained at 33.7 hours. (See tables B-2\r\nand B-7.)\r\n\r\nThe change in total nonfarm payroll employment for July was revised up by 55,000, from +89,000\r\nto +144,000, and the change for August was revised up by 17,000, from +142,000 to +159,000.\r\nWith these revisions, employment in July and August combined is 72,000 higher than previously\r\nreported. (Monthly revisions result from additional reports received from businesses and\r\ngovernment agencies since the last published estimates and from the recalculation of seasonal\r\nfactors.)\r\n\r\n_____________\r\nThe Employment Situation for October is scheduled to be released on Friday, November 1, 2024, \r\nat 8:30 a.m. (ET).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
