From The Bureau
The Employment Situation: December 2005
Total nonfarm payroll employment increased by 108,000 in December, and
the unemployment rate was little changed at 4.9 percent, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. The December in-
crease in payroll employment followed a gain of 305,000 in November (as re-
vised). Several industries added jobs over the month, including food serv-
ices, professional and business services, health care, and manufacturing.
Unemployment (Household Survey Data)
Both the unemployment rate, 4.9 percent, and the number of unemployed per-
sons, 7.4 million, were little changed in December. The unemployment rate
has ranged from 4.9 to 5.1 percent since March.
The unemployment rates for adult men (4.3 percent), adult women (4.5 per-
cent), whites (4.3 percent), and Hispanics or Latinos (6.0 percent) showed
little or no change in December. The jobless rates for teenagers (15.2 per-
cent) and blacks (9.3 percent) declined over the month; the rate for black
teenagers had an unusual large decline and fell to 24.4 percent. The unem-
ployment rate for Asians was 3.8 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See
tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)
In December, 18.2 percent of the unemployed had been without a job for 27
weeks or longer, compared with 20.4 percent a year earlier. (See table A-9)
