Payroll employment rose 350,000 to a March high of 66.8 million. The increase was 143,000 larger than seasonal, with the bulk of improvement in the service-producing industries. Unemployment rates moved down to 2.2 percent for adult men and 3.7 percent for adult women, while the teenage rate rose slightly to 13.0 percent. These rates were little changed from March 1967 or from the averages for 1967 as a whole. Since January 1966, the national unemployment rate has moved narrowly in a range from 3.5 to 3.9 percent, with the exception of a sharp but short-lived rise between August and October 1967. Employment Developments Total employment reached a record high of 75.8 million in March (seasonally adjusted). An increase of 180,000 in nonagricultural employment was partially offset by a seasonally adjusted decline in agricultural employment. The pickup in nonagricultural employment was concentrated among adult women and teenage boys. Over the year, nonagricultural employment was up by 1.8 million, while agricultural employment fell by 125,000. The drop in farm employment reflects the continuing decline in farming jobs, which have fallen by 35 percent over the last decade. At the same time nonagricultural employment rose by more than 18 percent. The increase in nonfarm payroll employment was concentrated in trade (64,000), State and local government (57,000), and services (27,000). After adjustment for seasonal changes, employment in manufactur ing and transportation was virtually unchanged over the month. Increased strike activity in the glass containers industry accounted for a seasonally adjusted decline of 13,000 in the stone, clay and glass industry, Recent trends illustrate the Nation's continuing employment shift from goodsproducing industries (mining, construction and manufacturing) to service-producing industries (transportation, trade, finance, services, and government). From March 1967 to March 1968, State and local government employment rose by 620,000, services by 480,000, trade by 445,000 and finance by 150,000. In contrast, employment in construction rose by 115,000 and manufacturing by only 80,000. Over the past decade employment in the service-producing industries has risen three times as fast as employment in the goods-producing industries. Hours and Earnings The workweek for rank and file workers on private payrolls was unchanged between February and March at 37.7 hours. Their weekly earnings, at $104.43, were up 38 cents over the month and $4.87 over the year. The average workweek of manufacturing production workers was unchanged over the month at 40.7 hours (seasonally adjusted). With the exception of a sharp weatherrelated dip in January, the seasonally adjusted factory workweek has held comparatively stable since August 1967. The average weekly earnings of factory production workers, $120.18, were up by $7.74 from March 1967. The largest sha of the rise was due to higher hourly earnings |
