Current Employment Statistics Survey Summary, January 2014
Total Nonfarm
+ 113,000
Total Private
+ 142,000
Nonfarm employment increased by 113,000
in January. Construction, manufacturing,
wholesale trade, and mining added jobs.
Average hourly earnings of all privatesector employees increased by 5 cents (0.2
percent) over the month. Hourly earnings were
up 1.9 percent over the year. Average weekly
hours, at 34.4, were unchanged in January.
In accordance with annual practice, the
establishment survey data have been revised to
reflect comprehensive counts of payroll jobs,
or benchmarks, derived principally from
unemployment insurance tax records. Nonfarm
employment for March 2013 was revised up by
369,000 (347,000 on a not seasonally adjusted
basis).
The benchmark revision incorporates a large
non-economic change that resulted from a
reclassification of 466,000 jobs from private
households (out of scope by CES definition) to
services for the elderly and disabled (in scope
for CES). Additional historical data were
revised to reflect this non-economic change.
The benchmark revision also includes a

revision of -119,000 not seasonally adjusted,
which is due to survey error.

Manufacturing
In January, manufacturing added 21,000 jobs, in line with its prior 3month average. The January payroll increase resulted primarily from
durable goods adding 15,000 jobs.
The 1-month diffusion index of manufacturing employment fell from
59.9 in December to 54.3 in January. The diffusion index measures the
dispersion of employment change in manufacturing, with a value above
50 indicating that more manufacturing industries are adding jobs than
losing them. January marks the 7th consecutive month the index
registered above 50.
