employment rate rose to
8.5 percent in 3iii from
8.4 percent in June 2013,
according t the Office of
Employmen[::hnd Training
(OET), an of the
Kentucky Education and
Workforce Development
Cabinet.
The preliminary July
2013 jobless rate was .1
percentage points above
the 8.4 percent rate re-
corded for the state in July
2012.
The U.S. seasonally ad-
justed jobless rate dropped
to 7.4 percent in July 2013
from 7.6 percent in June
2013, according to the U.S.
Department of Labor.
Labor force statistics,
including the unemploy-
ment rate, are based on
estimates from the Cur-
rent Population Survey of
households. It is designed
to measure trends rather
than to count the actual
number of people working.
It includes jobs in agricul-
ture and those classified as
self-employed.
In July 2013, Kentucky's
civilian labor force was
2,088,479, a decrease of
8,799 individuals compared
to the previous month.
Employment dropped by
10,708, while the number
of unemployed people rose
vey of business establish-
ments that excludes jobs in
agriculture and people who
are self-employed, Ken-
tucky's seasonally adjusted
nonfarm employment rose
by 9,500 jobs to 1,846,200
in July 2013 from the pre-
vious month. On an over-
the-year basis, the state's
nonfarm employment has
added 18,900 jobs.
'The two surveys usu-
ally move in the same di-
rection, but sometimes,
as it happened in July, the
numbers diverge. It's im-
portant to remember that
the surveys are measuring
different aspects of the la-
bor market. The popula-
tion survey estimates the
number of people working
or not working while the
business survey assesses
the number of jobs. Some-
times people have more
than one job, so that may
explain part of the dif-
ference," said economist
Manoj Shanker of the OEZ.
Nonfarm data is provid-
ed by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics' Current Employ-
ment Statistics program.
According to this survey,
seven of Kentucky's 11 ma-
jor nonfarm North Ameri-
can Industry Classifica-
tion .System (NAICS) job
sectors registered gains in
same this month.
Kentucky's trade, trans-
portation and utilities
sector gained 2,600 jobs
in July 2013. This is the
largest sector in Kentucky
with 378,800 positions, and
accounts for about 20 per-
cent of nonfarm employ-
ment. Since July 2012, jobs
in this sector have jumped
by 9,000.
"Employment in both
retail trade and the ware-
housing sector showed
gains in response to pent-
up consumer demand,"
said Shanker.
The construction sec-
tor increased by 2,500 po-
sitions in July 2013 from
a month ago. Since July
2012, employment in con-
struction has dropped by
600 jobs.
"Construction employ-
ment has declined in seven
of the last 12 months," said
Shanker. "Nationally, new-
home sales have surged
spurring construction.
But Kentucky hasn't seen
the same growth in new
homes, though existing
home sales have increased
in response to low mort-
gage rates."
The educational and
health services sector
added 2,300 positions in
July 2013. The sector has
The financial activities
sector gained 1,500 jobs
in July 2013. Compared
to July a year ago, busi-
nesses involved in finance,
insurance, real estate and
property leasing have in-
creased by 2,800 jobs.
"Almost all of the growth
has been in the finance
and insurance market,"
Shanker said. "Homeown-
ers have rushed to refi-
nance before mortgage
rates go up."
The state's manufactur-
ing sector grew by 1,500
positions in July 2013.
Since July 2012, employ-
ment in manufacturing has
fallen by 1,400 jobs.
'ffypically, manufactur-
ing, especially in durable
goods industries, recovers
slowly because of the capi-
tal needed to jumpstart this
sector. However, during
this recovery nondurable
goods manufacturing has
lost momentum at times,
especially in areas like
plastics and chemicals,"
said Shanker.
Kentucky's leisure and
hospitality sector posted a
gain of 1,400 jobs in July
2013. Since July 2012, the
sector has grown by 12,000
positions or nearly 7 per-
cent This sector includes
arts, entertainment, recre-
"Employment in hotels
and restaurants has re-
mained firm in response to
consumer confidence and
increased spending," said
Shanker.
The number of jobs in
the other services sector,
which includes repairs
and maintenance, personal
care services, and reli-
gious organizations, rose
by 200 positions in July
2013. Compared to a year
ago, there has been a loss
of 2,300 jobs.
The information sector
remained fiat in July 2013.
This segment has declined
by 1,800 positions since
June 2012. The industries
in this sector include tra-
ditional publishing as well
as software publishing;
motion pictures and broad-
casting; and telecommuni-
cations.
Employment in the min-
ing and logging sector was
unchanged from June 2013
to July 2013. The number
of jobs in this sector has
dropped by 2,100 since last
July.
The state's professional
and business services
sector lost 900 jobs in
July 2013. This category
includes establishments
engaged in services that
support the day-to-day ac-
employment services.
Since last July, jobs in the
sector have increased by
2,700.
The government sec-
tor, which includes public
education, public admin-
istration agencies and
state-owned hospitals, de-
creased by 1,600 jobs in
July 2013. The sector had
400 fewer jobs compared
to July 2012.
Civilian labor force sta-
tistics include nonmilitary
workers and unemployed
Kentuckians who are ac-
tively seeking work. They
do not include unemployed
Kentuckians who have not
looked for employment
within the past four weeks.
Kentucky's statewide
unemployment rate and
employment levels are sea-
sonally adjusted. Employ-
ment statistics undergo
sharp fluctuations due to
seasonal events, such as
weather changes, har-
vests, holidays and school
openings and closings.
Seasonal adjustments elim-
inate these influences and
make it easier to observe
statistical trends. However,
because of the small sam-
ple size, county unemploy-
ment rates are not season-
ally adjusted.
