D A I L Y F I N A N C I A L N E W S S U M M A R Y 02/05/93------------------- News of the Day------------------------- - Non-farm payrolls increased by 106,000 in January, the Labor Department reported Friday, to a seasonally adjusted total of 108,842,000. Expectations were for an increase of 100,000- 125,000. In December, non-farm payrolls rose by 90,000. They were initially reported as increasing by 64,000. The unemployment rate was 7.1%. It had been 7.3% in December and was expected to remain at that level. However, the decline in the unemployment rate was due in large part to a shrinking of the civilian labor force, to a seasonally adjusted total of 127,083,000 from 127,591,000 in December. Civilian employment fell to 118,071,000 from 118,311,000 in December. The average work week remained at 34.4 hours. Average hourly earnings rose to $10.74 in January from $10.69 in December. Retail trade payrolls rose 69,000 in January, manufactufing payrolls were up by 34,000 and service-producing payrolls, which includes retail trade, rose by 113,000. However, services payrolls fell by 19,000 in January and construction payrolls fell by 37,000. All are seasonally adjusted. - President Clinton Friday signed the family leave bill. The Senate passed the bill 71 to 27, and the House followed on a 247 to 152 vote, just minutes before midnight. The law requires employers to give workers up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to deal with birth, adoption or a serious illness affecting themselves or members of their immediate families. Employers would have to maintain health insurance coverage. The bill takes effect in six months. - The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. said Friday that interest rates on fixed 30-year mortgages fell to an average 7.80 percent - their lowest level since June 1973 and down from 7.86 percent last week. The group said the 15-year fixed rate fell to an average 7.29 percent, down from 7.37 percent last week and 7.51 percent two weeks ago. One-year, adjustable-rate notes were unchanged at 5.06 percent. - Consumer credit surged $2.46 billion in December. Consumer credit rose by $1.08 billion in November.
