Employment in mining declined by
6,000 in August. Over the past 3
months, mining employment has
declined by 12,000. Recent employment
declines in mining are reflected by
declining prices of West Texas
Intermediate crude oil and decreases in
the number of active domestic rotary
rigs.

Construction employment changed little
in August (+14,000). Employment edged up
in residential building (+7,000) but changed
little elsewhere in construction.
Thus far in 2019, construction has added
an average 14,000 jobs per month,
compared to 26,000 per month in 2018.
The deceleration of trend is supported by
recent weakness in construction spending,
housing starts, and new homes sold.

Release Date: September 6, 2019
Manufacturing employment changed little in August (+3,000). The
industry has added an average of 6,000 jobs per month so far in
2019, after adding an average 22,000 per month in 2018.
The 1-month diffusion index fell 2.6 points to 51.3 in August. A
value above 50 indicates more manufacturing industries are adding
jobs than are losing them.
Average weekly hours of all employees in manufacturing increased
by 0.2 hour to 40.6 hours in August, partially offsetting a 0.3-hour
decline in July. The average workweek of production employees
ticked up by 0.1 hour to 41.6 hours in August.
The weakness in August employment coincided with a contraction
in the Institute for Supply Management’s Purchasing Managers’ Index
and followed a weak reading in industrial production in July.
