of the unemployed…The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons
(sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers), at 7.3 million,
changed little in May. These individuals were working part time because their
hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job.
“In May, 2.1 million
persons were marginally attached to the labor force…These individuals were not
in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a
job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as unemployed
because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey…Among
the marginally attached, there were 697,000 discouraged workers in May, little
different from a year earlier…Discouraged workers are persons not currently
looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them…
“Manufacturing
employment changed little over the month…Employment in other major industries,
including mining and logging, construction, wholesale trade, retail trade,
information, financial activities, and government, showed little change over
the month…
“…Employment gains in
March and April were 6,000 lower than previously reported…”
