Manufacturing employment was essentially unchanged
(+1,000) in April. The 1-month diffusion index increased to
50.6 in April from 45.6 in March. 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.
Within durable goods, motor vehicles and parts gained 6,000
jobs, while machinery employment decreased by 5,000. The
majority of the decline in machinery employment occurred in
oil and gas field machinery. Within nondurable goods,
petroleum and coal products added 3,000 jobs, largely due to
workers returning from strike. (Source: CES Strike Report).
Average weekly hours for all employees in manufacturing
declined by 0.1 hour to 40.8 hours. The work week for
production employees was unchanged at 41.8.
