1 Because computers exhibit rapid changes in prices relative to other prices in the economy, the
chained-dollar estimates should not be used to measure the component’s relative importance or its
contribution to the growth rate of more aggregate series. The quantity index for computers can be
used to accurately measure the real growth rate of this series. For information on this component,
see Survey of Current Business Table 5.3.1 (for growth rates), Table 5.3.2 (for contributions), and
Table 5.3.3 (for quantity indexes).

1 Data from the establishment survey. Includes all full- and part-time wage and salary
workers in nonagricultural establishments who received pay for any part of the pay period that
includes the 12th of the month. Excludes proprietors, self-employed persons, unpaid family
workers, and private household workers. Data from the household survey shown on p. 11 include
those workers and also count persons as employed when they are not at work because of industrial disputes, bad weather, etc., even if they are not paid for the time off. In the series shown
here, persons who work at more than one job are counted each time they appear on a payroll,
in contrast to the series shown on p. 11 where persons are counted only once—as employed,
unemployed, or not in the labor force. See Employment and Earnings for details.
