Mining and Logging
In May, employment in mining and
logging was unchanged. Over the past 3months employment in mining, except
oil and gas has declined by 6,000; this
job loss was chiefly from nonmetallic
mineral mining and quarrying. The
slowdown in employment growth in
mining and logging coincides with the
slackening of the pace of petroleum
exploration (source: Hughes Rig Count).
A historically high volume of crude oil
production (source: EIA) has not
translated into large employment growth
in the mining and logging industry
during 2013.

Manufacturing
In May, manufacturing employment
changed little (-8,000). Since an employment
trough in February 2010, the industry has
added 507,000 jobs; however, in the past year,
manufacturing employment has changed little.
The 1-month diffusion index of
manufacturing employment edged up from
45.1 in April to 45.7 in May, the second
consecutive month the index was below 50.
The diffusion index measures the dispersion of
employment change in manufacturing, with a
value below 50 indicating that more
manufacturing industries are losing jobs than
adding them.
In May, the factory workweek for
production employees was unchanged. The
factory workweek is considered a leading
economic indicator. The unchanged workweek
combined with employment resulted in a 0.2
percent decrease in the index of aggregate
weekly hours for production employees.

The past year has seen little
movement in information employment,
but the trend over the longer term has
been one of sustained job loss. Since
reaching an historical high point in
March 2001, information employment
has fallen by over one million—a decline
of about 27 percent. Although job losses
over this time have been widespread
among information industries, they have
been especially severe in the wired
