Seasonally adjusted labor market data shows that non-agricultural unemployment rate remained at 11.4 percent in August 2012. Non-agricultural labor force increased by 78 thousand and non-agricultural employment increased by 65 thousand in the period of August 2012 compared to the period of July 2012. Hence, non-agricultural unemployment rate remained stagnant. Although employment in manufacturing declined slightly, increases in service and construction employment prevented an increase in the non-agricultural unemployment rate.
