CAUTION
Periodically, the Bureau adjusts
the industry employment series to a
recent benchmark to improve their accuracy.
These
adjustments may
also
affect the hours and earnings series
because employment levels are used as
weights. All Industry statistics after
March 1959, the present benchmark date,
are therefore subject to revision.
Beginning with November 196*1 and
subsequent issues of Employment and
Earnings, data in tables B-l through
iPTJ c^i through C-7, and D-l through
D-3 are based on the 1957 Standard
Industrial
Classification
and
a
March 1959 benchmark.
Therefore,
issues of Employment and Earnings prior
to November I96I cannot be used in conJunction with national industry data
nov shown in sections B, C, and D.
Comparable data for prior periods are
published in Employment and Earnings

For an individual industry, earlier

EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTS
March 1962
THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: MARCH 1962
Continued improvement in both employment and the workweek in hard-goods
manufacturing industries highlighted the employment situation in March. Other developments in employment and unemployment were on the whole seasonal.
The number of workers on nonfarm payrolls moved up by 160, 000 over the
month to 54 million in March, l / 2 million above the previous record for March set
in I960. Further expansion in metal-producing and -using industries contributed
to a gain of 60, 000 factory employees (to a level of 16. 5 million in March) when a
small decline would normally have occurred at this time.
On the other hand, construction employment, which last month had
rebounded (on a seasonally adjusted basis) from the unusually severe weather of
January, showed l e s s than the usual increase in March.
The factory workweek also continued to gain more than seasonally,
rising by 0. 3 hour over the month to 40. 3 hours in March. This was 1. 2 hours
greater than a year agoo Average weekly earnings of factory production workers
rose by 71 cents to $95. 91, a record for March.
As announced on April 6, unemployment declined seasonally over the
month, by 160,000, to 4.4 million in March. The rate of unemployment, seasonally
adjusted, was not significantly changed at 5. 5 percent. State insured unemployment
was also down seasonally, by 100, 000 to a level of 2. 3 million in March.
Compared with March 1961, total unemployment has dropped by 1. 1
million and the seasonally adjusted rate is down from 6. 8 percent. State insured
unemployment is 1 million below its year-ago level.
Total employment rose seasonally by 500, 000 over the month to a March
record of 66. 3 million. Of the increase, 300,000 was in total nonagricultural
employment.
Included among the employed in March were 2. 3 million nonfarm workers
on part time for economic reasons, 150, 000 more than in February, but 600, 000
below March 1961.
The labor force rose seasonally, by 400, 000 in March, but was unchanged
from a year ago.
Nonfarm Payroll Employment
Nonfarm payroll employment increased seasonally by 160, 000 over the
month to 54 million in March. The total was 1. 2 million higher than the recessionaffected figure of a year earlier, and 500, 000 above the previous high for the month
in 1960. Better-than-seasonal expansion of jobs in manufacturing industries-notably in the metals and metal-using durable goods sector--was accompanied by
continued gains in State and local governments. However, construction showed l e s s
than the expected increase for this time of year.

Beginning in January 1960. data include Alaska and Hawaii
Manufacturing employment, which usually declines somewhat in March,
instead expanded by 60, 000, This brought the manufacturing total to 16. 5 million,
some 650,000 higher than a year before. The industries mainly responsible for
the improvement over the month, as well as over the year, were metals, electrical
equipment, machinery, and transportation equipment. Changes in other industries
were about usual for this time of year.
After allowance for seasonal factors, manufacturing employment in
March was 700,000 above its recession low in February 1961, but still some
300,000 short of the prerecession level in May I960, After a rather rapid rebound
in the first few months of recovery, jobs leveled off during most of the second
half of 1961. Since November, however, the upturn has resumed—mainly in the
major metals industries. These industries (primary metals, fabricated metals,
machinery, electrical equipment, and transportation equipment) have expanded
employment by 160, 000 since last November. This was virtually all of the rise
in the durables sector, and four-fifths of the overall increase in manufacturing.
In the durable goods industries outside of the metals group, there has been some
improvement in lumber, but the stone, clay, and glass industry has edged lower.
In the soft-goods sector, the outstanding gains since November have been in the
apparel industry, but these gains are difficult to assess because the traditional
seasonal-patterns have tended to be blurred in recent years.
Aside from manufacturing, the sharply contrasting trends of recent
months have continued. State and local governments have added over 300,000
employees since the beginning of the general business recovery, and the service
and finance industries together have added almost as many. On the other hand,
employment in mining and transportation has shown virtually no recovery, and
employment in construction has declined to its lowest level for March since 1950.
Nonfarm payroll employment as a whole was 250, 000 higher (seasonally
adjusted) in March 1962 than at its prerecession level in May I960. At this point
in previous business cycles (22 months from the start of the general downturn),
the number of workers on nonfarm payrolls had exceeded its prerecession level
by more than 1/2 million in 1959, but had barely regained its prerecession mark
in 1955. (See chart.) The recent recession was of short duration and less
severe than the previous two, and its initial period of sharp recovery brought
the employment level close to its prerecession peak at a much earlier stage than
in the other cycles. However, the subsequent increases have been at a slower rate
than in previous recoveries.
Factory Hours and Earnings
The factory workweek continued its uptrend, rising 0. 3 hour for the
second consecutive month to 40. 3 hours in March. Greater-than-seasonal
increases continued in both durable and nondurable goods industries, particularly
in automobiles, textiles, apparel, rubber, and furniture. Overtime hours, at
2. 6 hours in March, were not significantly changed from the past 2 months, but
were 0. 6 hour higher than in March 1961.

The factory workweek was 1. 2 hours higher than a year ago when
manufacturing activity was at depressed levels. On a seasonally adjusted basis,
hours rose every month in 1961 from March to July, dropped sharply in September
because of strikes in automobiles and fabricated metals, then rose substantially
in October and November. Although severe weather in December and January cut
the workweek considerably, it has by now not only regained lost ground but also
surpassed 1960 highs, reaching levels characteristic of periods of high activity.
Because of the longer workweek, weekly earnings rose by 71 cents to
$95. 91; this figure is $6. 37 higher than a year ago. Hourly earnings remained
unchanged over the month at $2. 38 but were 9 cents higher than in March 1961.
Total Employment
Total employment rose seasonally in March by 500, 000 to 66. 3 million.
Farm employment showed a seasonal gain of 200, 000 over the month after 2
months of greater-than-seasonal gains from an unusually low level in December.
Compared to a year ago, agricultural employment, at 4. 8 million, was down by
200, 000 with all of the decrease occurring among self-employed farmers and
their unpaid family helpers.
Total nonagricultural employment (including the self-employed, unpaid
family workers and domestics) rose by 300,000 in March, about the usual
seasonal amount. At 61. 5 million, it was 1. 0 million above March 1961, and
at a record for the month.
Full- and Part-time Employment. The number of nonfarm workers on
full-time schedules rose seasonally in March by 500,000 to 50.2 million.
Full-time employment in March was 1. 1 million above a year ago and 1. 2 million
higher than in March I960.

Explanatory notes to chart:
Labor force time lost represents the man-hours lost by the unemployed
and those on part time for economic reasons, as a percent of total man-hours
potentially available to the civilian labor force.
Man-hours lost are computed by assuming the unemployed lost 37. 5 hours
a week, and that those on part time for economic reasons lost the difference between
37. 5 and the time they actually worked.
Man-hours potentially available (the base for the rate) are obtained by
adding:
(1) Man-hours actually worked
(2) Man-hours that could have been worked by employed persons with a
job but not at work, assuming a 37. 5 hour workweek
(3) Man-hours lost.
Unemployment rate, experienced wage and salary workers, is based on
unemployment and labor force figures that exclude those who never worked, selfemployed and unpaid family workers. All wage and salary workers are represented,
including those in agriculture, domestic service, government, and all other nonfarm
industries.
Unemployment rate, all civilian workers, i s the standard seasonally
adjusted rate of unemployment.
Unemployment rate, married men, represents the number of unemployed
married men as a percent of all married men in the civilian labor force (employed
plus unemployed). These figures exclude married men living apart from their wives.
The rates for 1955 and 1956 are based on pre-1957 definitions of unemployment and
employment.
The number of nonfarm workers on part time for economic reasons increased by 150, 000 in March, following a smaller increase in February. The
major portion of this increase was accounted for by adult men who usually work
full time but whose hours had been cut back because of slack work. Despite their
increase over the month, the number of workers on part time for economic reasons
in March, at 2. 3 million, was 600, 000 below a year ago.
Selected Measures of Unemployment and Part-time Employment
This month, for the first time, a combined measure of the effect of total
unemployment and economic part-time employment is being presented. (See chart.)
This measure relates time lost through unemployment and involuntary part-time work
to the total man-hours potentially available to the civilian labor force. In March,
6. 6 percent of the potentially available time was lost (seasonally adjusted); this
percent was the same as in February. The rate of labor force time lost had
reached 8.4 percent last May, the highest level reached in the current recession,
but remained below the 8. 9 percent reached at the trough of 1958-59 recession.
In periods of low unemployment, the percent of labor force time lost
averages nearly 1 percentage point greater than the unemployment rate. In recent
years, it has been almost 1-1/2 percentage points higher; however, the turning
points and cyclical trends in both rates have been about the same.
As also indicated in the chart>married men have a much lower unemployment rate than other workers in any economic situation* Experienced wage and
salaried workers, the large majority of the labor force, tend to have slightly
higher rates than the total, because self-employed and unpaid family workers (who
have almost no unemployment) are removed from the base. Despite the differences
in level among these various measures of idle manpower, they all tend to show a
close similarity in the pattern of their response to changes in economic conditions.
Characteristics of the Unemployed
Age and Sex. Changes in unemployment by age and sex in March were
predominantly seasonal. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rates for adult
men (4. 5 percent) and adult women (5. 2 percent) were unchanged over the month.
Among the women, a decline in the number of unemployed 45 years of age and over
was balanced by an increase in Unemployment among young women between 20 and
24 years of age. There was a significant improvement in the unemployment rate of
teenage boys.
Unemployment rates for men of all ages are down over the year and were
also about the same level as in early 1960. Among women there has been a
decrease over the year in unemployment rates for most age groups, but the unemployment rates for those aged 20 to 45 are still slightly higher than 2 years ago.
Industry of Last Job. Unemployment has declined significantly over the
year in nearly every industry group. In durable goods manufacturing, which
was hardest hit by the recession, the level of unemployment has dropped by 40
percent since March 1961, and the rate has fallen from 10.7 to 6. 0 percent. The
durable goods industries showing the greatest improvement were automobiles,
where the unemployment rate dropped from an unusually high 25. 9 percent to 7. 4
percent, primary metals, where it fell from 16. 2 to 5.1 percent, and machinery,
with a drop from 7. 3 to 3. 7 percent.
xi
The inexperienced unemployed, whose numbers grew sharply from March
1960 to March 1961, showed no change over the past year. At l / 2 million in
March 1962, the group of unemployed who have never worked before was 50 percent
higher than 2 years ago.
Duration of Unemployment. As in February, there was relatively little
change in short-term unemployment over the month. Short-term unemployment
was down by 300, 000 (seasonally adjusted) from its recession high in February
1961 and about back to its level in early I960.
Long-term unemployment (15 weeks or longer) remained virtually
unchanged over the month whereas it was expected to rise seasonally by about
200, 000. At 1. 5 million, it was 400, 000 l e s s than a year ago. Nearly all of this
drop occurred among those out of work from 3 to 6 months. The number of very
long-term unemployed (over 6 months) remained unchanged over the month at
about 700, 000, only slightly lower than in March a year ago.
Although the very long-term jobless have declined by about 300, 000 from
their recession high, they are still about 300,000 above their prerecession low
reached in the summer of I960. They account for 1 out of every 6 jobless workers,
a s compared with 1 out of 8 in March 1960.
As in previous months, the very long-term unemployed remained highly
concentrated in a relatively few occupations and industries. About 40 percent
of those jobless for over 6 months are semiskilled or unskilled workers,
compared to slightly over 20 percent of the labor force. Workers in manufacturing
account for about 25 percent of the labor force, but over 30 percent of the very longterm jobless. Trade which accounts for about 15 percent of the labor force, was
the industry in which 20 percent of the very long-term jobless were last employed.
In addition, 15 percent of the long-term unemployed had no previous work
experience.
Insured Unemployment
State insured unemployment was down seasonally by 100, 000 between
February and March to 2. 3 million. The decline was widespread among the States,
with all but eight reporting smaller volumes. An estimated 170, 000 persons
exhausted their State benefit rights in March compared with 154, 000 in February;
a moderate rise is usual for this time of year.
The number of persons who had exhausted their State benefits and were
insured under the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation program (TEC)
showed little change from February, edging down by 4,000 to 310,000.
Most of the declines in insured joblessness among the States were small;
only two had reductions of more than 10, 000--New York (17, 000) and Pennsylvania
(12, 000). In addition to stepped up activity in outdoor work, factors contributing
to these declines were further recalls in apparel and textile plants in New York,
and a sizable drop in joblessness among primary metals workers in Pennsylvania.
The national rate of insured unemployment (not seasonally adjusted)
declined from 5. 9 percent in February to 5. 6 percent in March. During the same
month a year ago^ the rate was 7. 9 percent. Alaska had the highest rate (18. 2
xii
percent) followed by North Dakota ( l l . 2), and Montana (9. 7). Comparatively high
March rates are typical for these States, where a large proportion of the covered
workers are engaged in activities which are affected by adverse weather. Three
other States--Arkansas, West Virginia, and Wyoming--had rates of about 8 percent.
Three of the large industrial States had rates well above the national average-California (7. 2), Pennsylvania (7. l), and Michigan (6. 5). On the other hand, the
rate in Texas (3. 1 percent) was among the lowest in the Nation.
Labor Force
The labor force (including the Armed Forces) averaged 73. 1 million
during the first quarter of 1962, about 1/2 million higher than in the last quarter
of 1961, after allowance for seasonal variation. Because the number of persons
in the labor force had dropped off during the third and fourth quarters of 1961,
however, the total labor force in the first quarter of 1962 was not significantly
higher than in the first quarter of 1961. The exceptionally high labor force level
in January-March 1961 was in part due to what appeared to be unusual sampling
fluctuations.
Although changes in the labor force exhibit a steady growth trend in the
long run, short-run changes are often uneven. Whereas the yearly growth of the
labor force between 1950 and I960 averaged 850,000, there were marked variations in individual years. It should be noted, therefore, that the lack of over-theyear growth in the first quarter of 1962 followed an unusually large over-the-year
increase of 2. 1 million in the first quarter of 1961. Such a rapid advance followed
by a brief pause is not unique in the postwar experience of the labor force. After
a gain of nearly 2-1/2 million during 1955, the labor force increased by only
400,000 during each of the next 2 years.
These sharply different rates of growth
took place in years in which the unemployment rate, at slightly above 4 percent, was
virtually the same. A more recent experience was that of I960, when the labor
force, after an estimated increase of nearly a million between the first and second
quarter (seasonally adjusted), showed an addition of only 300, 000 during the second
half of the year.
There is no evidence that such let-ups in the overall growth of the labor
force are related to high unemployment and a lack of job opportunities. In each
of the postwar business cycles,the labor force continued to make significant gains
at a time when the unemployment rate was also rising. The apparent large
increase in the labor force in the first quarter of 1961 coincided with the trough
of the recession when the unemployment rate was nearly 7. 0 percent. Conversely,
the lack of growth in the labor force from first quarter 1961 to first quarter 1962
accompanied a decline in the rate of unemployment to about 5-1/2 percent.
The two factors which determine labor force growth are changes in the
size and composition of the population, and the extent of labor force activity in the
various population groups (i.e. , rates of labor force participation). The population
of working age tends to change in a rather gradual, regular, and predictable fashion
over the short run. The trends in labor force participation rates, on the other hand,
tend to be highly irregular and difficult to predict for specific years. Even persistent long-term developments, such as the declining labor market participation of
older men and the increasing tendency for middle-aged women to work outside the
home, do not proceed at a uniform pace year by year. For example, the labor force
rate for men 65 years of age and over dropped sharply in 1958 and 1959, leveled off
in I960 and 1961, and then dropped again in 1962. Another illustration is the uptrend
among women 55 to 64, which was interrupted in 1960, resumed in 1961, and then
levelled off again in 1962.

In addition, to showing the somewhat irregular pattern in labor force
participation rates, the data also suggest the following conclusions:
1. The decline in the rate of labor market activity for teenage boys
from 1961-62 was about in line with other recent years.
2. The change among several groups (men 20-24, 55-64, 65 and over;
women under 25, 35-44, 55 and over) could more reasonably be attributed to
unusually high labor force rates in early 1961 than to unusually low rates in
early 1962.
3. The trends in participation rates do not indicate a consistent,
direct association with changes in overall economic activity or with changes in
job opportunities. It is possible that some such association exists for certain
groups in the population, but the available data do not demonstrate it.
xv
Youngsters under 25. Young persons under 25 years of age are being
added to the population in much greater numbers than was the case in the late
1950 l s. Thus, despite generally lower labor force participation rates between 1961
and 1962, nearly 200, 000 more young men under 25 were in the labor force in the
first quarter of 1962 than a year earlier. However, the postwar baby boom has not
yet had a strong impact on the labor force because those born in 1947 and 1948 are
not only 14 and 15 year-olds who have very low labor force participation; nearly
all of them are in school full time. (See table 4.)
The reduced labor market participation of young men under 25 cannot be
attributed exclusively to the tendency to remain in school longer. Labor force
rates were down slightly from a year ago both for students and for nonstudents.
However, the numbers involved are small. If there had been no change in the
proportions in the labor force among those not in school, the number of such
workers would have been about 75, 000 higher.
Men 60-64 Years of Age. Earlier retirement under new Social Security
provisions was only a small factor in the lack of labor force growth. Effective
last July, the Social Security law was amended to permit men to retire at age
62 (instead of 65) with partial benefits. Under this new amendment, some 360, 000
men aged 62 to 64 were awarded benefits between August 1961 and February 1962.
Possibly as a result of this provision, the labor force participation rate for the
age group 60-64 dropped sharply over the year, from 82. 5 percent to 80.4 percent
(first quarter averages), but this would account for only a small change in the
number of workers.

Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Two
groups averaging about one-quarter million workers which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work)—those
on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 days—were assigned to different classifications,
mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.

Beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force,
total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected.
•Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has
resulted in an increase of about half a million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in
the labor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciably
changed.

INTRODUCTION
hours during the survey week. In the figures based on establishment records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each time
their names appear on payrolls.
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
two major sources: (l) household interviews and (2) payroll
reports from employers.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from
a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted
each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor
force, i.e., the total number of persons lk years of age and
over who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data on
their personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex,
color, marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration
of unemployment. The information is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about 35*000 households in 333 areas
throughout the country and is based on the activity or status
reported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the
month.
Hours of Work
The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers.
In the household survey data, all persons with a job but not at
work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on
paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included
and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid
during the reporting period.
Data based on establishment payroll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, in cooperation with Sfcate agencies. The payroll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours,
average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the
Tfaition, States, and metropolitan areas.
Comparability of the household interview data with other series
The figures are based on payroll reports from a
sample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 million
nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all
workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
Relation between the household and payroll series
The household and payroll data supplement one another,
each providing significant types of information that the other
cannot suitably supply. Ibpulation characteristics, for
example, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences in definition and coverage, sources of
information, methods of collection, and estimating procedures.
Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasons
for discrepancies. The factors which have a differential effect
on levels and trends of the two series are described below:
insurance data. The unemployed total
from the household survey includes all persons who did not work
at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were
waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been
laid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for
unemployment insurance, figures on unemployment insurance
claims, prepared by the Bureau of Bnployment Security of the
Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their
benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local
government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work,
nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment
used in the household survey. For example, persons with a job
but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the
week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, but
are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey.
Bnployment
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under 14 in the Agricultural Marketing
clu
Service (AMS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders who
are counted more than once if they worked on more than one farm
during the reporting period. There are also wide differences in
sampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods, which
cannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences in
level and trend of the two series.
Coverage. The household survey definition
of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and other private household workers), self-employed
persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during
the survey week jLn family-operated enterprises, Bnployment in
both farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of
nonfarm establishments.
Multiple jobholding. The household approach
provides information on the work status of the population without duplication since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Bnployed persons holding
more than one job are counted only once, and are classified according to the job at which they worked the greatest number of
Unpal absences from jobs. The household
.d
survey includes among the employed all persons who had jobs but
ng
were not at work during the survey week—that is, were not
working or looking for work but had jobs from which they were
temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation,
labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time off
for various other reasons, whether or not they were paid by
their employers for the time off. In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on paid sick leave, paid vacation, or
paid holiday are included, but not those on leave without pay
for the entire payroll period.
Comparability of the payroll employment data with other series
Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of
the Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ
from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from
1-E
its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The major reason for lack of comparability is different treatment of
business units considered parts of an establishment, such as
"central administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in the
industrial classification of establishments due to different
reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are also differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the
Census of Business excludes professional services, transportation companies, and financial establishments, while these are
included in BLS statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce
and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establishment statistics in the units considered integral parts of an
establishment and in industrial classification. In addition,
CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, interstate railroads, and government.
Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs.
Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the Unemployment Insurance programs. All workers in certain activities,
such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, are
excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are
also excluded in 32 States. In general, these are establishments with less than four employees.
LABOR FORCE DATA
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics
of employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force data
are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in its
Current Population Survey (CES). (A detailed description of
this survey appears in Concepts and Msthods Used in the Current
Employment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau of
the Census, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population
Reports, Series P-23, No. 5« This report is available from BLS
on request.)
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted
with a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the
civilian noninstitutional population Ik years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household 14 years of age
and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the
calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15th
of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 1^- years of
age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are
excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown in
this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
The sample for CPS is spread over 333 areas comprising Gkl counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50
States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed interviews are obtained each month from about 35>OOO households.
There are about 1,500 additional sample households from which
information should be collected but is not because the occupants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporarily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about k percent.
Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan
provides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to be
common from one month to the next, and one-half to be common
with the same month a year ago.
Each employed person is counted only once. Those who
held more than one job are counted in the job at which they
worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not
living on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratory
farm workers).
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of
work around the house (such as own home housework, and painting
or repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.
Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did not
work at all during the survey week and were looking for work,
regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did
not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job
from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not
in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed
no work was available in their line of work or in the community.
Persons in this latter category will usually be residents of a
community in which there are only a few dominant industries
which were shut down during the survey week. Not included in
this category are persons who say they were not looking for work
because they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any
way.
The
tnt Rate represents the number unemployed
as a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of the
employed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed for
groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital
status, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupation
groups, the labor force base for the unemployment rate also represents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latter
classified according to industry and occupation of their latest
full-time civilian job.
Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time
(through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work or
would have been looking for work except for temporary illness,
or belief that no work was available in their line of work or in
the community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment
represents the number of full weeks since the termination of
their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic
mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance
with the criteria described above. The "total labor force" also
includes members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the
United States or abroad.
Not in Labor Force includes all civilians Ik years and
over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These
persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework, " "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes
for the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to
work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as
unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work
(less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor
force.
CONCEPTS
Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to the
job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are
classified in the job at which they worked the greatest number
of hours during the survey week. The occupation and industry
groups used in data derived from the CPS household interviews
are defined as in the 1950 Census of Population. Information on
the detailed categories included in these groups is available
upon request.
Employed Persons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, or
in their own business or profession, or on their own farm, or
who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in a
business operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those
who were not working or looking for work but who had jobs or
businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, or
because they were taking time off for various other reasons,
whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time
off.
The Industrial classification system used in the Census
of Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhat
from that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by industry. Employment levels by industry from the household survey,
although useful for many analytical purposes, are not published
in order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ from
the payroll series because of differences in classification,
sampling variability, and other reasons. The industry figures
from the household survey are used as a base for published
distributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other
2-E
characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, and
occupation.
mortality, and migration between the United States and other
countries.
The class-of-worker "breakdown specifies "wage and
salary workers," subdivided into private and government workers,
"self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage and
salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or pay
in kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit.
Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in
their own "business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15
hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a
member of the household to whom they are related by blood or
marriage.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure is
used which takes account of net changes from the previous month
for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the
sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces
the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes
but also of the levels for most items.
Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example, a person
who normally works ho hours a week but who was off on the
Veterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even
though he was paid for the holiday.
Reliability of the Estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that might occur by chance because
only a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are
about two out of three that an estimate from the sample would
differ from a complete census by less than the standard error.
The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be
less than twice the standard error.
For persons working in more than one job, the figures
relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the
week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job.
Itersons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey
week are designated as working "full time"; persons who worked
between 1 and 3^ hours are designated as working "part time."
Rurt-time workers are classified by their usual status at their
present job (either full time or part time) and by their reason
for working part time during the survey week (economic or other
reasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material
shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination
of job during the week, and inability to find full-time work.
"Other reasons" include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for
full-time work and full-time worker only during peak season.
Table A shows the average standard error for the major
employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12
recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are
also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of
change for consecutive months is also shown in table A. The
standard errors of level shown in table A are acceptable approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.

ESTIMATING METHODS
Average standard error of--
The estimating procedure is essentially one of using
sample results to obtain percentages of the population in a
given category. The published estimates are then obtained by
multiplying these percentage distributions by independent estimates of the population. The principal steps involved are shown
below. Under the estimation methods used in the CFS, all of the
results for a given month become available simultaneously and
are based on returns from the entire panel of respondents.
There are no subsequent adjustments to Independent benchmark
data on labor force, employment, or unemployment. Therefore,
revisions of the historical data are not an inherent feature of
this statistical program.

1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to
account for occupied sample households for which no information
was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or
unavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six
groups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence
categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5
percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance,
from that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics as
age, color, sex, and residence. Since these population characteristics are closely correlated with labor force participation
and other principal measurements made from the sample, the
latter estimates can be substantially improved when weighted
appropriately by the known distribution of these population
characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of
ratio estimates as follows:
FEMALE
Labor force and total employment.
Agriculture
Nonagricultural employment....
Unemployment

The figures presented in table B are to be used for
other characteristics and are approximations of the standard
errors of all such characteristics. They should be interpreted
as providing an indication of the order of magnitude of the
standard errors rather than as the precise standard error for
any specific item.
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the
known 1950 Census data on the color-residence distribution of
the population. This step takes into account the differences
existing at the time of the 1950 Census between the colorresidence distribution for the Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step,
the sample proportions are weighted by independent current estimates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimates
are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data
(1950) to take account of subsequent aging of the population,
Labor force and total employment.
Agriculture
Nonagricultural employment....
Unemployment
The standard error of the change in an item from one
month to the next month is more closely related to the standard
error of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the
specific month-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to use
the approximations to the standard errors of month-to-month
changes as presented in table C, it is first necessary to obtain
the standard error of the monthly level of the item in table B,
and then find the standard error of the month-to-month change in
table C corresponding to this standard error of level. It
should be noted that table C applies to estimates of change between 2 consecutive months. For changes between the current
month and the same last year, the standard errors of level
shown in table B are acceptable approximations.

Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total
number of persons working a specific number of hours, as
15,000,000, an increase of 500,000 over the previous month.
Linear interpolation in the first column of table B shows that
the standard error of 15,000,000 is about 160,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the sample
estimate differs by less than 160,000 from the figure which
would have been obtained from a complete count of the number
of persons working the given number of hours. Using the
160,000 as the standard error of the monthly level in table C,
it may be seen that the standard error of the 500,000 increase
is about 135,000.
Table C.
Ikyroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in
nonfarra establishments, by industry and geographic location.

month-to-month change
Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out only one employment or labor turnover
schedule, which is then used for national, State, and area
estjbnates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of
respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques
at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic
comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare State and area
series and then send the data to the BLS for use in preparing
the national series. The BLS and the Bureau of Employment
Security jointly finance the current employment statistics program in kh States, the turnover program in 1 2 States.
*
Shuttle Schedules
The Form BLS 790 is used to collect employment, payroll, and man-hours data, and Form DL 1219 or BLS 1219 for labor
turnover data. These schedules are of the "shuttle" type, with
space for each month of the calendar year. The schedule is returned to the respondent each month by the collecting agency so
that the next month's data can be entered. This procedure
assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting, since
the respondent can see the figures he has reported for previous
months.

INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION
The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed
by using sample data for both numerator and denominator depends
upon both the size of the percentage and the size of the total
upon which the percentage is based. Where the numerator is a
subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are relatively more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates
of the numerator of the percentage, particularly if the percentage is large (50 percent or greater). Table D shows the
standard errors for percentages derived from the survey.
Linear interpolation may be used for percentages and base figures not shown in table D.

basis of their principal product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected
each year on an industry class supplement to the monthly 790 or
1219 report. In the case of an establishment making more than
one product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire
employment of the establishment is included under the industry
indicated by the most important product or activity.
All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover series are classified in accordance
with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau of
the Budget, 1957. Since many of the published industry series
represent combinations of SIC industries, the BLS has prepared a
Guide to Employment Statistics of BLS, 1961 which specifies the
SIC code or codes covered by each industry title listed in
Employment and Earnings. In addition, the Guide provides industry definitions and lists the beginning date of each series.
The Guide is available free upon request.
Prior to January 1959, all national, State, and area
series were classified in accordance with the following documents: (l) For manufacturing, Standard Industrial Classification
Manual, Volume I, Bureau of the Budget, 1°J*5, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial Classification Code, Social Security
Board, 191*2. State and area series were converted to the 1957
SIC beginning in January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958) and
national industry statistics were converted in the latter part of
1961 (with an overlap from 1958 to the month of conversion).
Consequently, back issues of Employment and Earnings will not
provide earlier data on a comparable basis. However, for many
industries, both BLS and the cooperating State agencies have constructed series for years prior to 1958 which are comparable with
data starting with 1958 and based on the 1957 SIC. National data
for earlier periods comparable with those currently published are
available in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the
U-E
COVERAGE
paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the
pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the rest of the
period, are counted as employed. Not counted as employed are persons 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.
Employment, Hours, and Earnings
Benchmark Adjustments
Reports on employment and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours are collected monthly from sample establishments in nonagricultural industries. The table below shows the
approximate proportion of total employment in each industry
division covered by the group of establishments furnishing
monthly employment data. The coverage for individual industries
within the division may vary from the proportions shown.
Qnployment estimates are periodically compared with
complete counts of employment in the various industries defined
as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indicated by the total counts or "benchmarks." The industry
employment estimates are currently projected from March 1959
benchmarks. After allowing for the effect of shifts in products or activities resulting from conversion to the 1957
Standard Industrial Classification, and the changes in level
resulting from improved benchmark sources for employment not
covered by the social insurance systems, meaningful quantitative
comparisons can be made between estimates for March 1959 projected from the last previous benchmarks (1957) and the actual
March 1959 benchmark levels. This comparison reveals a difference of 0.6 percent for total nonagricultural employment, practically identical with the extent of the adjustment in March
1957, the last benchmark adjustment prior to the shift in
classification systems. The differences were less than 1.0 percent for four of the eight major industry divisions; under 2
percent for two other divisions; and 3.8 and k.9 percent for the
remaining two divisions.

CONCEPTS
Industry Employment
Employment data for all except the Federal Government
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
For Federal Government establishments, current data generally
refer to persons who received pay for the last day of the month.
The.data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in
households. Salaried officers of corporations are included.
Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal
military personnel are excluded from total nonagricultural
employment.
One significant cause of differences between benchmark
and estimate is the change in industrial classification of individual establishments, which is usually not reflected in BLS
estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other
causes are sampling and response errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled
by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under
State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are prepared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the Bureau of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments
exempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of their
small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded
from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a variety
of other sources. Among improvements introduced in 1961, when
the industry statistics were converted to the 1957 Standard
Industrial Classification Manual, was the development of new and
better sources of benchmark data for employment either outside
the social insurance system or covered by it only on a voluntary
basis.
The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with the new benchmark levels, industry by industry.
Where revisions are necessary, the monthly series of estimates
are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one.
The new benchmark for each industry is then carried forward progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.
Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used-to establish
the level of employment while the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers or
nonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. When
the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures are
reduced to a weekly basis.
Production and Related Workers include working foremen
and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees)
engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping,
maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services, product
development, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g.,
power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Nonsupervisory Employees include employees (not above
the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical
workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen,
and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose services are closely associated with those of the employees listed.

Railroad Hours and Earnings
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received
pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the
month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind,
e.g., for old-age and unemployment insurance, group insurance,
withholding tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for
overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly by
the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay
period), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other
payment in kind are excluded.
The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching
and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in
the M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate
to all employees who received pay during the month, except
executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC group I). Gross
average hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensation by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained
by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a
weekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average
weekly hours by average hourly earnings*
Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, during
the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for production, construction, and nonsupervisory workers. The man-hours
include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave
when pay is received directly from the firm.
Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars
are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security and
income taxes from gross weekly earnings* The amount of income
tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by
the worker, as well as on the level of his gross income* To reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed for a
worker with no dependents, and a worker with three dependents.
The computations are based on the gross average weekly earnings
for all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industry
division without regard to marital status, family composition,
or total family income.
Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of production and related workers during the pay period ending nearest the
15th of the month. Overtime hours are those for which premiums
were paid because the hours were in excess of the number of hours
of either the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and
holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates were paid.
Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or
other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the current
month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 1957-59
dollars is thus adjusted for changes In purchasing power since
the base period*
Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, reflecting not only
changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates, but also such
variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work,
and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive plan.
Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and low-paid work
and changes in workers' earnings in individual establishments
also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups
and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings
for individual industries.
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime pay
are computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for
the industry group by the sum of total production-worker manhours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to
January 1956, these data were based on the application of adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described
in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-5^0). Both
methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
one and one-half times the straight-time rates*. No adjustment
is made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday
work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and
one-half*
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period
of time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit
of work or time. The earnings series, however, does not measure
the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer since
the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive
items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid
by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under
the production-worker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Bayrolls and Man-Hours
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying
average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore,
weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross average
hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and absenteeism.
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours
are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1957-59 period. The man-hour aggregates
are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker
employment, and the payroll aggregates are the'product of gross
average weekly earnings and production-worker employment.
Average Weekly Hours
Labor Turnover
The workweek information relates to the average hours
for which pay was received, and is different from standard or
scheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover,
part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to be
lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component
industries.
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employment status with respect to
individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a
calendar month, is divided into two broad types: Accessions
(new hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee)* Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees, whether
full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive,
office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers.
Transfers to another establishment of the company are included,
beginning with January 1959.
Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross
average weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours and for
which premium payments were made. If an employee worked on a paid
holiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensation his
holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no
overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in
the same direction, from month-to-month; for example, premiums may
be paid for hours in excess of the straight-time workday although
less than a full week is worked. Diverse trends at the industrygroup level may also be caused by a marked change in gross hours
for a component industry where little or no overtime was worked
in both the previous and current months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have
the same influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll, including both new and
rehired employees.
New hires are temporary or permanent additions to the
employment roll of persons who have never before been employed in
the establishment (except employees transferring from another
establishment of the same company) or of former employees not recalled by the employer.
Other accessions, which are not published separately
but are included in total accessions, are all additions to the
6-E
employment roll which are not classified as new hires including
transfers from another establishment of the company.
STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor
turnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics relate to metropolitan
areas, as'defined in the Annual Supplement Issue of Employment
and Earnings. Additional industry detail may be' obtained from
the State agencies listed on the inside back cover of each issue.
These statistics are based on the same establishment reports used
by BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sum
of the State figures may differ slightly from the equivalent
official U.S. totals on a national basis, because some States
have more recent benchmarks than others and because of the
effects of differing industrial and geographic stratification.
Separations are terminations of employment during the
calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits, .
layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized
absences, if on the last day of the month the person has been
absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by
the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations of employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and
entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 consecutive calendar days.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employment series
for the following reasons: (l) Accessions and separations are
computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports
refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month; and
(2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates
if the work stoppage extends through the report period.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Several major technical improvements were achieved in
1961, when the industry statistics were converted to the 1957
Standard Industrial Classification Manual. The benchmark tabulations obtained from State unemployment insurance agencies (see
section on benchmark adjustments), which formerly gave employment totals by industry, were tabulated to give separate totals
by size of establishment within industries for the first quarter
of each year beginning with 1959* Intensive analysis revealed
that significant improvements could be made for many of the
hours and earnings series if the employment estimates for certain industries were stratified "by size of establishment and/or
by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisoryworker data were used in weighting the hours and earnings into
broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating
cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the term
is used in the summary of computational methods on page 8-E, may
be an industry size and/or regional stratum or it may be an
entire industry or combination of industries. Further analysis
will be made, as resources permit, to determine whether stratification will Improve the estimates of labor turnover rates.
More advanced automatic electronic data-processing
equipment has also contributed to improving the program. The
advanced equipment, with its greater capacity, has made feasible
the increased number of computations required by the Introduction of size cells, and facilitates closer quality control of
data input and output.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring
seasonal movement which can be measured on the basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change which can be
ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observe
the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor force and establishment
data are published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these series is
a new adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method,
with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to take account
of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description and illustration of the basic method was published in the August i960
Monthly Labor Review.
The seasonally adjusted series on weekly hours and labor
turnover rates for industry groupings are computed by applying
factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, but seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees and production workers by industry divisions are obtained by summing the
seasonally adjusted data which are published for component industries. The factors currently in use are available upon request.
In the case of unemployment, data for four age-sex
groups (male and female unemployed workers under age 20, and age
20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and
are then added to give a seasonally adjusted total unemployment
figure. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived
by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment
(the sum of the four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by
the figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force.
Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of the labor
force to be applied to data for 1961 and later are provided in
the table below, since seasonally adjusted labor force series,
except for the unemployment rates, are not published regularly in
Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data
are based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors
are revised in the light of the pattern revealed by subsequent
data. Data through December 1961 were used in deriving the current factors applicable to 1961-62. Revisions will be made annually as each additional year's data become available.
Seasonal adjustment factors for the labor force and major
components, to be used for the period 1961-62
The general procedures used for estimating industry
employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics .are
described in the table on page 8-B. Details are given In the
technical notes on Measurement of Employment, Hours, and
Earnings in Nonagri cultural Industries and Measurement of
Labor Turnover, which are available upon request.
Reliability of Pceliminary Estimates
For the most recent months, national estimates of
employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and so footnoted In the tables. These particular figures are based on
less than the full sample and consequently subject to revision
vhen all of the reports in the sample have been received.
Studies of these revisions in past data indicate that they have
been relatively small for employment and even smaller for hours
and earnings. Because of the change in the Industrial classification system and in the estimating methods described above,
It will not be possible to determine the magnitude of the error
in preliminary estimates published for 1961 and subsequent
periods, until sufficient experience has been accumulated.
