Preface

This bulletin was prepared in the Office of Employ­
ment Structure and Trends, Division of Local Area
Unemployment Statistics, by Russ Marshall, under the
direction of Sylvia Small. Valuable assistance was re­
ceived from Linda Jackson.
Material in this publication is in the public domain

bor Statistics and cite Distribution o f Occupational Em­
ployment in States and Areqs by Race and Sex, 1978,
Bulletin 2053.

This bulletin is the first of a series which will present
percent distributions of workers in occupational groups
within States and metropolitan areas by race and sex.
It also contains distributions of the working-age popu­
lation, civilian labor force, employment, unemployment,
and persons not in the labor force by race and sex. The
percentages are based on 1978 annual averages from
the Current Population Survey (CPS), which provides
statistics on the labor force status of the population
classified according to a variety of demographic, social,
and economic characteristics. The basic CPS data can
be found in Geographic Profile o f Employment and Un­
employment: States, 1978; Metropolitan Areas, 1977-78,
BLS Report 571.

Distribution of Occupational
Employment in States and
Areas by Race and Sex, 1978

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has received
numerous requests for data about the representation of
women and minorities in various segments of the labor
force. To help meet this expressed need for data, this
bulletin presents 1978 annual average data for States
and metropolitan areas in a new format: Distribution of
the labor force by selected characteristics-race and sex.
Data for four major population groups—white men and
women, and men and women of black and other races—
are included. Data from the Current Population Survey
(CPS)1 are arrayed to show the percent each of these
four groups constitutes of the working-age population,
the civilian labor force, total employment, employment
in the 10 major occupational groups, unemployment,
and those not in the labor force. National data are also
included to enable national comparisons among the four
groups where the labor market for a particular occu­
pation is too broad to be confined to a single State or
metropolitan area, as well as to provide a national av­
erage against which the State or area data can be
compared.
Table 1 presents data for the Nation as a whole and
for the States and the District of Columbia. Table 2
contains data for the 30 largest Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Areas (SMSA’s), which are defined in ap­
pendix B. Roughly 39 percent of the national civilian
labor force lived in these SMSA’s in 1978. Metropoli­
tan area data are currently limited to these 30 SMSA’s
because the CPS sample is not sufficiently large to yield
reliable estimates for smaller metropolitan areas.

the Nation in 1978. Within this broad category, how­
ever, they ranged from less than 1.0 percent of all aer­
onautical and astronautical engineers to 96.7 percent of
all registered nurses. Therefore, it should be noted that
only the broad outlines of occupational differences for
the selected segments of the population are described
by these data.
Composition of “black and other” category

There is considerable variation in the composition of
the black and other category2 among the States and
metropolitan areas. At the time of the 1970 Census of
Population, 89 percent of the black and other popula­
tion were black; the remainder were American Indians,
Alaskan Natives, Asians and Pacific Islanders, and all
other nonwhite groups. Although there have probably
been changes in the composition of this category in
many areas since the 1970 census, the breakdown of
the black and other group in 1970 is given in appendix
D to aid the user interpreting the data.
It should also be noted that the black and other cat­
egory does not include most persons of Hispanic ori­
gin. Hispanic origin refers to persons who identified
themselves in the enumeration process as Mexican, Puer­
to Rican living on the mainland, Cuban, Central or
South American, or of other Hispanic origin or descent.
According to the 1970 census, approximately 96 per­
cent of this population were white.
Limitations of the data

Because the estimates included in this bulletin are
derived from a sample rather than a complete count of
the population, they are subject to sampling variability.
Also, some estimates include some degree of rounding
error. Therefore, the data should not be viewed as pre­
cise measures of demographic composition, but as esti­
mates within a limited possible range of error. A fuller
discussion of the reliability of the data is included in
appendix A.

Occupational categories

Users often inquire how specific occupations fit into
the broad occupational categories used in this publica­
tion. For instance, registered nurses are a part of the
category “professional, technical, and kindred work­
ers,” while practical nurses are included with “service
workers.” For the convenience of the user, the specif­
ic occupational categories included within each of the
broad occupational groups are listed in appendix C.
The breadth of the occupational categories may mask
wide variations in percentage distributions of race or
sex groups between specified occupations within a cat­
egory. For instance, women made up 42.7 percent of
all professional, technical, and kindred workers across



1For a detailed description of the CPS, see Employment and Earn­
ings, “Explanatory Notes,” published monthly by the Bureau of La­
bor Statistics.
2The black and other category of workers, which until recently
was identified as “Negro and other races” and, prior to 1969, as
“nonwhite,” includes all persons who were identified in the enumer­
ation process to be other than white.

2 Less than 1.0 percent.




NOTE: In some cases, the sum of items may deviate from 100.0 percent by more than 1.0 percent because of
rounding. Therefore, data should not be viewed as precise measures, but as estimates w ithin a limited possible
range of error.

Appendix A. Reliability of
Estimates and Publication
Standards

Reliability of estimates

The estimates presented in this bulletin are based on
the Current Population Survey (CPS)—a sample of the
population rather than a complete count. Consequent­
ly, these estimates may differ from the figures that would
have been obtained if it had been possible to take a
complete census using the same schedules and proce­
dures that were used in the CPS. In general, the rela­
tive error of a sample estimate varies inversely with the
size of the sample and the size of the estimate. Hence,
an estimate for a small subgroup of the population with­
in an area will tend to have a relatively larger error
than an estimate for a subgroup constituting a large
proportion of the population within that area.
Publication standards

The proportion of the total population sampled in
the CPS differs among many of the areas for which




19

data are reported in this bulletin. Differences in the
sample size are necessary to obtain statistically consis­
tent total unemployment levels—with an annual coef­
ficient of variation of 10 percent or less (at one stand­
ard error) at a 6-percent unemployment rate. For in­
stance, in Vermont, about 1 in every 350 households is
surveyed, whereas in Iowa, about 1 in every 1200 house­
holds is sampled. BLS also requires that at least 30 sam­
ple cases be the basis for any distribution of levels or
percentages of State or area data.
Estimates are not shown in this bulletin when they
do not meet the minimum standard for the area listed
in table A-l. The determining factor is the size of the
base of the distribution. For example, in any of the ta­
bles in this bulletin, the base for any demographic dis­
tribution is the total being distributed, such as total
working-age population, total unemployed, or total em­
ployment in a specific occupational group.

Appendix B. Geographic
Definitions of Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas

A Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) is
defined as a county containing at least one city with
50,000 inhabitants or more, or several economically and
socially related contiguous counties with at least one
city of 25,000 inhabitants or more. In the New England
States, where SMSA’s are comprised of cities and towns,
the minimum population size is 75,000.
The geographic definitions of the SMSA’s are occa­




sionally revised by the Office of Federal Statistical Pol­
icy and Standards, resulting in a break in the data se­
ries for the revised areas. Table B-l compares the ge­
ographic composition of the 30 large SMSA’s accord­
ing to their 1970 and 1973 definitions. The 1973 defini­
tions are the most current definitions and are the basis
for the SMSA data in this bulletin.

Appendix C. Occupational
Classification System

The classification system used for the occupational
data follows the taxonomy used in the 1970 Census of
Population, which is exhaustive of total employment.
These data are arranged into four major groups and
cross-classified with 1970 census codes as follows:
001 to 395 - white-collar workers
401 to 785 - blue-collar workers
901 to 984 - service workers
801 to 824 - farm workers
The total for white-collar workers is the sum of the
estimates for professional, technical, and kindred work­
ers; managers and administrators; sales workers; and
clerical workers. Similarly, the estimates for craft work­
ers; operatives, except transport; transport equipment
operatives; and nonfarm laborers add up to the total




for blue-collar workers. These detailed classifications
correspond exactly with the groups having the same
titles in the 1970 census. Data for service workers and
farm workers are not separated into more detailed cate­
gories in this bulletin.
The detailed occupational categories that are con­
tained within the broad categories in this bulletin are
listed in table C-l for the convenience of the user. A
more detailed treatment of this subject may be found
in: U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1970 Census o f Popula­
tion Alphabetical Index o f Industries and Occupations and
1970 Census o f Population Classified Index of Industries
and Occupations (U.S. Government Printing Office,
1971).
