U.S. unemployment holds steady at 7.3%
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Civilian unemployment held
steady in March at 7.3 percent,
the government said Friday, as
the creation of 430,000 new jobs
just accommodated the number
of Americans entering the labor
force in searckof work.. —
About 8.4 million people were
jobless while the number at
work set yet another record at
107.1 million, the Labor Depart-
ment reported.
As has been the case in recent
months, the bulk of the job gains
were in service industries.
One of the biggest gains, ac-
cording to a separate job survey,
came in retail trade, which logg-
ed 80,000 new jobs last month.
Manufacturing employment, on
the other hand, has shown no
growth since August.
Commenting on the new
report, Janet L. Norwood, the
commissioner of labor statistics,
noted in congressional testimony
that adult women — traditonally
a heavy percentage of service
workers — benefited more than
anyyother single group from the
neW jobs:-*---------- • -
Indeed, she said that adult
women have taken more than
half the jobs created in the last
12 months.
Civilian joblessness has been
moving in the narrow range of
7.1 percent to 7.5 percent for
nearly a year — since last May.
Analysts predict civilian
unemployment will drop to 7 per-
cent, or even dip slightly lower,
this summer, then edge upward.
The rate, which hit a post-
Depression peak of, 10.7 percent
in November 1982, (topped to 7.2
percent in June, then headed up?
ward before falling to 7.1 percent
in November, the low point since
the 1981-82 recession.
When unemployment reached
that post-Depression peak, some
11.9 million Americans were out
of work. ^ _____
In The'^'months of recovery
through March, the number of
jobless people has been cut by
3.5 million and the jobless rate
has declined 3.4 percentage
points.
The department also reported
Friday that 1.3 million people
were counted as “discouraged
workers'" in the first three mon-
ths of the year. Discouraged
workers arepeople who say that
they want to work but have not
sought a job in at least a month
because they thought the search
was fruitless. Such people are
not. counted in the labor, force
and do not play a part in the
unemployment rate calculation.
** Among specific groups, to-
day’s report showed these
unemployment rates for March:
—Adult men, 6.2 percent,
. dQwniromJiapercent. -----------
—Adult women, 6.7 percent,
unchanged.
—Teen-agers, 18.2 percent,
down from 18.4 percent.
—Whites, 6.2 percent, un-
changed.
—Blacks, 15.2 percent, down
from 16.3 percent.
—Hispanics, 10.2 percent, up
from 9.7 percent.
An alternate unemployment
^rate, combining the 115.5
million-member civilian labor
force with the roughly 1,7 million
members bf the armed forces
stationed in the United States,
was unchanged at 7.2 percent...........
