1 Includes data for each of the metropolitan areas in which 5 stoppages or more began in 1967. Some metropolitan
areas include counties in more than 1 State, and hence, an area total may equal or exceed the total for the State in which
the major city is located. Stoppages in the mining and logging industries are excluded. Intermetropolitan area stoppages are
counted separately in each area affected; the workers involved and man-days idle were allocated to the respective areas.
2 Included in the Chicago, 111.—Northwestern Ind. consolidated area.

safety rule, was terminated after agreement to submit

Aggregate figures on workers and strike idleness are rounded to three significant digits. Figures to the right of the third
significant digit appear as zeros; the last digit is always rounded to zero. To illustrate: an unrounded figure of 5,014,000 man-days
would appear as 5,010,000; an unrounded total of 26,457 would be presented as 26,500; and a figure of 493 workers would appear

Since the em p loym en t fig u res m ay be reg a rd ed as being red u ced by strik e id le n e ss,
e s p e c ia lly in the ca se of a p rolonged ind ustryw ide strik e, tim e lo s t could ex cee d w orking

The new "total econom y" data w ill appear in national strik e tabu lations only, beginning

Strike id le n e ss as a p ercen t of estim a ted w orking tim e w as fir s t p u blished in 1941,
a fter the B ureau had exam in ed se v e r a l ap p roach es for d evelop in g m e a su r e s of the effe ct of
str ik e s on the econ om y. The w ork tim e e stim a te s for the 1927—50 p eriod w ere b a sed upon

of 1890 to 1950, the app roxim ate num ber of p oten tial s tr ik e r s w as esta b lish ed sim p ly as the
sum of the w o rk ers in the v a rio u s occu p ation s w hich the B ureau co n sid e red to be "exposed"

13 For example, the total economy figure for 1967 was computed by taking average employment for the year and multiplying
it by the number of working days (67, 366,000 x 254 = 17, 110, 964,000), and this figure was divided into the total number of man-days
lost because of strikes for the year (42,100,000) to give a percent of total working time lost of (1.25. Computations for States and
industries are made in a similar manner.
"Workers employed" include both permanent and temporary employees and those working either full or part time. Workers on
the payroll who are on paid sick leave (when pay is received directly from the employer), paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who
work during only a part of the specified pay period of the employment survey, are counted as employed. Persons on the payroll and
reported by two establishments are counted twice, whether the duplication is due to turnover or dual jobholding. Persons are con­
sidered employed if they receive pay for any part of the specified pay period. Not counted as employed are those who are laid off,
on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period; or who are hired but do not report to work during the period. Since pro­
prietors, the self-employed, and unpaid family workers do not have the status of "paid employees, " they are not included. Domestic
workers in households are excluded from the data. Government employment statistics refer to civilian employees only. Nonagricultural
figures are derived from the BLS establishment series survey, and agricultural wage and salaried workers from the household series.
14 This estimate of "potential strikers" is also used to compute the number of workers involved in strikes as a percent of total
employment for the 1890—1967 period.
