Employment/unemployment data & graphs for 2023 July began updatings: 2023-08-04

The jobs dearth for men is about 28.575M;   for women there was about 4.6M surplus (a subjective matter depending more on women's preferences);   total net jobs dearth (m + f) about 23.9M-28.7M;   for "blacks" the jobs dearth is about 2.3M;   for "Asians" about 145K;   for "whites" 9.4M;   for "Hispanics"/"Latinos" 13M below full employment.

The jobs dearth for men is about 28.575M;   for "black" men about 3.8M;   for "Asian" men about 1.1M;   for "white" men about 19.5M;   for "Hispanic"/"Latino" men about 3.1M below full employment.

The aggregate employed ÷ population ratio (the work rate or employment rate) is at 60.6%,   down from the record best of 64.9%,   & up from the previous record worst of 51.3%.

For men, the aggregate employed ÷ population ratio (the work rate or employment rate) is at about 66.2%,   down from the record best of about 88.2%,   & up from the record worst of about 57.1%.

For "blacks", the aggregate employed ÷ population ratio is at 59.4%.

For "Asians", the aggregate employed ÷ population ratio is at 64.4%.

For "whites", aggregate employed ÷ population ratio is at 60.6%.

For "Hispanics"/"Latinos", aggregate employed ÷ population ratio is at 64.5%.

Jobs Dearth (insufficiency/ lack/ paucity/ shortfall/ shortage) graphs

For "black" men, the employed ÷ population ratio is at about 61.977%.

For "Asian" men, the employed ÷ population ratio is at about 72.325%.

For "white" men, the employed ÷ population ratio is at about 66.434%.

For "Hispanic"/"Latino" men, the employed ÷ population ratio is at about 72.6%.

For veterans, the employed ÷ population ratio is at about 46.5% (was 54.1% in 2006 May; maximum since then was 54.1%; minimum was 42.6%).

The civilian, non-institutionalized population 16-years or older (CNIP16+ = or simply CivPop) was about 267.002M in July, 201K more than in June.

Out of the civilian, non-institutionalized population 16-years or older, about 161.982M were employed, 423K more than in June.

Out of the civilian, non-institutionalized population 16-years or older, and the 105.021M not employed, about 6.372M were considered by BLS as actively seeking work (UEASW), 21K more than in June.

The "civilian labor force" (CLF16+) is the total of employed + those "actively seeking work", so there were about 168.354M, 444K more than in December.

The number being gigged/ temped/ contingently employed/ on short-term contract/ consulting/ scrabbling,   the number seeking real/ traditional long-term employment and   the number of real/ traditional long-term jobs employers are seeking to fill is not reported.

The number not employed in June was 105.021M, the sum of those "unemployed actively seeking work" (UEASW) and those considered by BLS to be "not in the labor force" (NILF), down 221K from June.

The number employed part-time for economic reasons in July was 4.158M, up 245K from June.

The number employed part-time for non-economic reasons (personal preference for working fewer hours, family circumstances, etc.) in July was 20.648M, down 294K from December...

in a similar vein, 1.259M were unemployed and seeking part-time work (up 95K from June), 5.113M were unemployed and seeking full-time work (down 74K from June).

BLS does not track the numbers gigged, temped, bodyshopped, on contract, contingent or consulting positions who would prefer "real", "traditional", long-term employment... though about once every 15-25 years someone writes an article for the _Monthly Labor Review_.

Men constitute 48.9% of the civilian, non-institutionalized population 16-years or older;   women 51.1%;   "blacks" 13%;   "Asians" 6.6%;   "whites" 76.6%;   "Hispanics"/"Latinos" 21%.

The per-centage of 1850 (the year before the American Party, later called the Know Nothings) was founded, USA population foreign-born was 9.68%;   in 1860, 13.16%;   in 1870, 14.44%;   in 1880, 13.3%, by which time the USA frontiers were no more & we had begun to "in-fill", i.e. crowd;   in 1890, 14.77%;     in 1900, the percentage of population foreign-born was 13.6%;   in 1910, 14.7%;   in 1920, 13.2%;   in 1930, 11.6%;   in 1940, 8.8%;   in 1950, 6.9%;   in 1960, 5.4%;   in 1970, 4.7%;   in 1980, 6.2%;   in 1990, 7.9%;   in 2000, 11.1%;   in 2001, 11.38%;   in 2002, 11.5%;   in 2003, 11.7%;   in 2004, 11.8%;   in 2005, 12.1%;   in 2006, 12.1%;   in 2007, 12.6%;   in 2008, 12.5%;   in 2009, 12.2%;   in 2010, 12.9%;   in 2011, 13%;   in 2012, 13.1%... 14.3% (47M) in 2022 April... projected by census bureau to be 15.2% by 2030, 16.1% by 2040.

The employed ÷ civilian-non-institutionalized-population per-centages for USA natives are 59.9%;   and for the foreign-born (who comprise 17.27% of the civilian, non-institutionalized resident population 16 years old & older) is 64.5%.

It is also interesting that the employed ÷ population per-centages for those with at least the equivalent of bachelor's degrees, those with some college, & those with HS diplomas or equivalent have been falling for several decades, while the employed÷population per-centages for those without a HS diploma have been generally rising.   This is another case where it would have been nice to have such data going back to, e.g. 1900 to have a decent base-lines, but what older statistics exist are incommensurable. (Employed ÷ population per-centages
for those with at least the equivalent of bachelor's degrees were 78.8% in 1992, 79.8% in 1994 Oct, 71.1% in 2023 January, 71.4 in 2023 July;  
for those with some college were 71.0% in 1992, 73% in 1989 Nov, 61.3% in 2023 January, 60.5% in 2023 July;  
for those with a HS diploma were 60.9% in 1992, 63.5% in 1997 Nov, 53.7% in 2023 January, 54.3% in 2023 July;  
for those without a HS diploma were 36.1% in 1992, 45% in 2019 Aug, 43.1% in 2023 January, 44.3% in 2023 July.)

381K want employment, searched for work, but no available work was found, and thus are discouraged;     5.578M want employment now but are not employed, 1.467M are classified by BLS as "want a job now, available to work now, marginally attached to the labor-force, searched for employment in the previous year (believe no employment is available)";   & 268K are classified by BLS as "want a job now, marginally attached, discouraged over employment prospects (believe no employment is available), Men"... so even some people who ARE "actively seeking work" are classified by BLS as "not in the labor force" (NILF) and "NOT actively seeking work", thus muddying the waters, ambiguating, fogging, blowing smoke, obfuscating, misleading, disinforming, deceiving.

The USA civilian, non-institutionalized population 16 years or older is about 267.003M (about 201K increase from June);
the "civilian labor force" 16 years or older is about 168.354M (about 444K decrease from June);
about 161.902M are employed (temp/gig or long-term, full-time or part-time), employment increased by about 423K;
98.649M are considered by BLS to be NOT currently in the "labor force" (242K decrease);
6.372M are considered by BLS to be unemployed and "actively seeking work" (21K increase);
1.259M are considered by BLS to be unemployed and "actively seeking part-time work" (95K increase);
5.113M are considered by BLS to be unemployed and "actively seeking full-time work" (74K decrease);
4.158M are "employed part-time for economic reasons" and would prefer full-time employment &/or higher pay to make ends meet (245K decrease);
20.648M are employed part-time for non-economic reasons (294K increase);
uncounted millions more are being gigged/ temped/ bodyshopped/ contracted/ consultanted, contingently employed, etc. (it sometimes seems they hatch another euphemism, another dodge, another deception every month), but are seeking real, traditional, long-term employment -- career-paths & careers, not gigs.

Average duration of unemployment while actively seeking work is 19.6 weeks (nearly 4.5 months), as compared with the best on record since 1948 of 6.6 weeks; while the
Median duration of unemployment is 8.1 weeks (about 2 months), as compared with the best on record since 1967 of 3.6 weeks.  

Average duration of unemployment while actively seeking full-time work (gigs/temp/contingent/contract or long-term) is 21.6 weeks (just under 5 months), as compared with the best on record since 1977 of 8.5 weeks;     while the current
Median is 9.1 weeks (just over 2 months), as compared with the best on record since 1977 of 4 weeks.
From what I've read (news articles, "human resources" professionals discussions, etc.), bodyshops/ staffing services/ PEOs/ and employment agencies categorize everyone unemployed longer than 4 weeks as "hard core unemployed" or "unemployable", refuse to consider placing them.   They have their screening software send such resumes directly to the trash-bin, never to be seen (nor heard of) by an employment broker or hiring manager.   And then they claim there are no "qualified" (wink wink nudge nudge) job-seekers.   It is sooooo "efficient".

January U-1 unemployment rate was 1.2%.

January U-2 unemployment rate was 1.7%.

January U-3 unemployment rate was 3.8%.

January U-4 unemployment rate was 4%.

January U-5 unemployment rate was 4.6%.

January U-6 unemployment rate was 7.1%.

January unemployment rate for those seeking full-time work was 3.6%.

January unemployment rate for those seeking part-time work was 4.5%.

Neither the USA Department of Labor nor the Bureau of Labor Statistics track, & they seem not to be interested in, employer investment in training & relocation of talent within the USA (neither current nor changes over time), nor the intensity, effort, time, investment, etc. for recruiting vs. filtering out job-seekers... because it would be soooo difficult to add 2 questions to the on-line Establishment Survey (and 1 check-box to job sites)... as employers try to avoid hiring USA citizens, & lobby more for cheap, young, pliant, low-skilled (untested, unmeasured) foreign labor with flexible ethics (to tweak those privacy-violating apps, big data harvesting, and selective communications suppression & promotion gimmicks).
