All Employees: Total Nonfarm, commonly known as Total Nonfarm Payroll, is a measure of the number of U.S. workers in the economy that excludes proprietors, private household employees, unpaid volunteers, farm employees, and the unincorporated self-employed. This measure accounts for approximately 80 percent of the workers who contribute to Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

This measure provides useful insights into the current economic situation because it can represent the number of jobs added or lost in an economy. Increases in employment might indicate that businesses are hiring which might also suggest that businesses are growing. Additionally, those who are newly employed have increased their personal incomes, which means (all else constant) their disposable incomes have also increased, thus fostering further economic expansion.

Generally, the U.S. labor force and levels of employment and unemployment are subject to fluctuations due to seasonal changes in weather, major holidays, and the opening and closing of schools. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) adjusts the data to offset the seasonal effects to show non-seasonal changes: for example, women's participation in the labor force; or a general decline in the number of employees, a possible indication of a downturn in the economy. To closely examine seasonal and non-seasonal changes, the BLS releases two monthly statistical measures: the seasonally adjusted All Employees: Total Nonfarm (PAYEMS) and All Employees: Total Nonfarm (PAYNSA), which is not seasonally adjusted.

Real Manufacturing and Trade Industries Sales (CMRMTSPL) was first constructed by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis in June 2013. It is calculated using Real Manufacturing and Trade Industries Sales (HMRMT) (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/HMRMT) and Real Manufacturing and Trade Industries (CMRMT) (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CMRMT).

Before January 1997
lag1(HMRMT) = one observation earlier than current time period observation
HMRMT_PC = the growth rate of HMRMT
lead1(CMRMTSPL) = one observation later than current time period observation
HMRMT_PC = [HMRMT/lag1(HMRMT) –1]
CMRMTSPL= lead1(CMRMTSPL)/(1+HMRMT_PC)

After December 1996
CMRMTSPL= CMRMT

Release: G.17 Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization  

Units:  Index 2017=100, Seasonally Adjusted

Frequency:  Monthly

The Federal Reserve's monthly index of industrial production and the related capacity indexes and capacity utilization rates cover manufacturing, mining, and electric and gas utilities. The industrial sector, together with construction, accounts for the bulk of the variation in national output over the course of the business cycle. The industrial detail provided by these measures helps illuminate structural developments in the economy. The industrial production (IP) index measures the real output of all relevant establishments located in the United States, regardless of their ownership, but not those located in U.S. territories. For more information, see the explanatory notes issued by the Board of Governors. For recent updates, see the announcements issued by the Board of Governors.
