During the Spring and summer the deterioration slowed. A was the year came to a close though private sector employment once again began to fall and the jobless rate inched up a Barron said. The dreary news on the nearly 300,000 people who joined unemployment ranks in december came from the labor departments Survey of households. A separate Survey of business establishments showed that Overall non farm employers added 31,000 jobs. But the gains All came in government hiring because private payrolls showed that jobs plunged by 35,000 for the month. In november Overall non farm payrolls were Down by 265,000. The calculation of lost jobs and the estimate of the newly unemployed can differ not Only because they come from different surveys but also because the unemployment total includes people who just entered the labor Market but Haven to found work. However most of december a unemployment Rise stemmed from a surge in the number of people who had lost their last jobs especially those who had no expectation of being called Back to work the household Survey showed. Since the nation fell into the recession the number of Job losers has risen by 1.8 million the Agency said. In december factories lost an additional 32,000 jobs the fourth consecutive loss of that magnitude the government said. That leaves manufacturing employment nearly 450,000 below its year earlier level. The largest Over the month decline in factory jobs came in transportation equipment primarily in aircraft and autos. Meanwhile construction which tumbled by 90,000 jobs in november failed to recoup the losses in december and was virtually unchanged.

The number of discouraged workers or people who simply abandoned the Job Hunt because they Felt it was hopeless remained at about 1.1 million. The number of people who hold part time jobs Only because they can to find full time work was 6.3 million. The factory work week Rose slightly to 41.1 hours up from 41 hours and overtime increased from 3.7 hours to 3.8 hours. That a seen As an indication employers Are getting More from their current work Force rather than adding additional employees. Labor costs jumped sharply in december.
