Employment in durable goods
Manufacturing lost 29,000 jobs in March. Nearly all of the job losses
occurred in durable goods, while nondurable goods employment changed
little (-5,000).
The one-month manufacturing diffusion index declined to 37.3, the
lowest since January 2010. 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.
Average weekly hours in manufacturing declined 0.1 hour for all
employees and was unchanged for production employees. Over the past
12 months, average weekly hours have declined 0.3 hour for all employees
and have not changed for production employees (-0.1 hour).
In March, durable goods lost 24,000 jobs, with significant losses in
primary metals (-3,000), machinery (-7,000), and semiconductors (-3,000).
Durable goods employment reached a recent peak in March 2015 and,
since then, has declined by 68,000, led by losses in machinery (-46,000),
fabricated metal products (-36,000), and primary metals (-22,000).
