economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers), at
6.5 million, changed little in June. These individuals, who would have
preferred full-time employment, were working part time because their hours had
been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job….
“In June, 1.9 million
persons were marginally attached to the labor force, little changed from a year
earlier…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
653,000 discouraged workers in June, essentially unchanged from a year earlier….Discouraged
workers are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs
are available for them…
“Employment in mining
continued to trend down in June (-4,000)….Since…December 2014, employment in
mining has declined by 71,000, with losses concentrated in support activities
for mining.
“Employment in…construction,
manufacturing, wholesale trade, information, and government, showed little or
no change over the month…The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for
April was revised from +221,000 to +187,000, and the change for May was revised
from +280,000 to +254,000. With these revisions, employment gains in April and
