Transmission of material in this release is embargoed USDL-10-1662 until 8:30 a.m. (EST) Friday, December 3, 2010 Technical information: Household data: (202) 691-6378 * cpsinfo@bls.gov * www.bls.gov/cps Establishment data: (202) 691-6555 * cesinfo@bls.gov * www.bls.gov/ces Media contact: (202) 691-5902 * PressOffice@bls.gov THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION -- NOVEMBER 2010 The unemployment rate edged up to 9.8 percent in November, and nonfarm payroll employment was little changed (+39,000), the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. Temporary help services and health care continued to add jobs over the month, while employment fell in retail trade. Employment in most major industries changed little in November. Household Survey Data The number of unemployed persons was 15.1 million in November. The unemployment rate edged up to 9.8 percent; it was 9.6 percent in each of the prior 3 months. (See table A-1.) Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (10.0 per- cent), adult women (8.4 percent), whites (8.9 percent), and Hispanics (13.2 per- cent) edged up in November. The jobless rate for blacks (16.0 percent) showed little change over the month, while the rate for teenagers declined to 24.6 per- cent. The jobless rate for Asians was 7.6 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.) Among the unemployed, the number of job losers and persons who completed tempor- ary jobs rose by 390,000 to 9.5 million in November. The number of long-term un- employed (those jobless for 27 weeks and over) was little changed at 6.3 million and accounted for 41.9 percent of the unemployed. (See tables A-11 and A-12.) The civilian labor force participation rate held at 64.5 percent in November, and the employment-population ratio was essentially unchanged at 58.2 percent. (See table A-1.) The number of persons employed part time for economic reasons (sometimes referred to as involuntary part-time workers) was little changed over the month at 9.0 mil- lion. These individuals were working part time because their hours had been cut back or because they were unable to find a full-time job. (See table A-8.) About 2.5 million persons were marginally attached to the labor force in November, up from 2.3 million a year earlier. (The data are not seasonally adjusted.) These individuals were not in the labor force, wanted and were available for work, and had looked for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as un- employed because they had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the sur- vey. (See table A-16.) Among the marginally attached, there were 1.3 million discouraged workers in November, an increase of 421,000 from a year earlier. (The data are not season- ally adjusted.) Discouraged workers are persons not currently looking for work because they believe no jobs are available for them. The remaining 1.2 million persons marginally attached to the labor force had not searched for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey for reasons such as school attendance or family responsibilities. (See table A-16.) Establishment Survey Data Total nonfarm payroll employment changed little in November (+39,000). Job gains continued in temporary help services and in health care, while employment fell in retail trade. Since December 2009, total payroll employment has increased by an average of 86,000 per month. (See table B-1.) Within professional and business services, employment in temporary help services continued to increase in November (+40,000) and has risen by 494,000 since Septem- ber 2009. Health care continued to add jobs over the month, with a gain of 19,000. Much of the increase occurred in hospitals (+8,000). Employment in mining continued to trend up over the month. Support activities for mining added 6,000 jobs in November and has added 74,000 jobs since October 2009. Retail trade employment fell by 28,000 in November. Job losses occurred in depart- ment stores (-9,000) and in furniture and home furnishings stores (-5,000). Employment in manufacturing was little changed over the month (-13,000). Following job growth earlier in 2010, employment has been relatively flat, on net, since May. Employment in most other major industries changed little in November. The average workweek for all employees on private nonfarm payrolls held at 34.3 hours in November. The manufacturing workweek for all employees also was unchanged, at 40.3 hours, and factory overtime remained at 3.1 hours. The average workweek for production and nonsupervisory employees on private nonfarm payrolls decreased by 0.1 hour to 33.5 hours. (See tables B-2 and B-7.) In November, average hourly earnings of all employees on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 1 cent to $22.75. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have increased by 1.6 percent. In November, average hourly earnings of private-sec- tor production and nonsupervisory employees were unchanged at $19.19. (See tables B-3 and B-8.) The change in total nonfarm payroll employment for September was revised from -41,000 to -24,000, and the change for October was revised from +151,000 to +172,000. ----------- The Employment Situation for December is scheduled to be released on Friday, January 7, 2011, at 8:30 a.m. (EST).Series Id: LNS14000000 Seasonally Adjusted Series title: (Seas) Unemployment Rate Labor force status: Unemployment rate Type of data: Percent or rate Age: 16 years and over

“…Weather Worries
Three factors indicate that corn prices are headed higher in the U.S. market – as well as in markets around the world. The reality is that:
- The United States is the world’s largest grower and exporter of corn, and thanks to some wild weather swings U.S. corn production is down more than 4% from last year’s record crop.
- Industrial uses of corn are contributing to escalations in demand, even during a supply squeeze. New food uses for corn will also help boost demand.
- The weak U.S. dollar will make corn an even hotter export, further escalating demand during a period where supplies are tighter than usual.
A number of weather-based events have damaged the current or upcoming harvest of key crops in exporting nations worldwide.In Brazil, for instance, it was a drought that may damage the 2011 coffee crops.In Russia, an endless dry summer heat wilted the wheat crop.In China, Pakistan and India, monsoon rains shrank the cotton crop.And here in the United States, it appears that exceptionally wet weather in June and July and devastating heat throughout the summer may have damaged the corn crop. This has led to lower yields per acre this year compared to last year. …”
The Food Crisis Of 2011
Addison Wiggin
“…Fact is, the food crisis of 2008 never really went away.True, food riots didn’t break out in poor countries during 2009 and warehouse stores like Costco didn’t ration 20-pound bags of rice…but supply remained tight.Prices for basic foodstuffs like corn and wheat remain below their 2008 highs. But they’re a lot higher than they were before “the food crisis of 2008” took hold. Here’s what’s happened to some key farm commodities so far in 2010…
- Corn: Up 63%
- Wheat: Up 84%
- Soybeans: Up 24%
- Sugar: Up 55%
What was a slow and steady increase much of the year has gone into overdrive since late summer. Blame it on two factors…
- Aug. 5: A failed wheat harvest prompted Russia to ban grain exports through the end of the year. Later in August, the ban was extended through the end of 2011. Drought has wrecked the harvest in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan – home to a quarter of world production
- Oct. 8: For a second month running, the Agriculture Department cut its forecast for US corn production. The USDA predicts a 3.4% decline from last year. Damage done by Midwestern floods in June was made worse by hot, dry weather in August.
America’s been blessed with year after year of “record harvests,” depending on how you measure it. So when crisis hits elsewhere in the world, the burden of keeping the world fed falls on America’s shoulders. …”
Packagers and Supermarkets Pressured to Pass Along Rising Costs, Even as Consumers Pinch Pennies
“…Food prices are rising faster than overall inflation. The consumer price index for all items minus food and energy rose 0.8% over the year to September, the lowest 12-month increase since March 1961, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said. The food index rose 1.4%, however. The U.S. Agricultural Department is predicting overall food inflation of about 2% to 3% next year.The current pressure is nothing like it was in October 2008, when food prices were rising at an annual rate of 6.3% and some hard lessons were learned when producers passed along those costs: Shoppers switched
