SUMMARY EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT
DEVELOPMENTS, MARCH 1968
Employment gains continued in March and
the unemployment rate edged down to 3.6
percent. Payroll employment rose 350,000
to a March high of 66.8 million. The increase
was 143,000 larger than seasonal, with the
bulk of improvement in the service-producing industries.
Unemployment rates moved down to 2.2
percent for adult men and 3.7 percent for
adult women, while the teenage rate rose
slightly to 13.0 percent. These rates were
little changed from March 1967 or from the
averages for 1967 as a whole. Since January 1966, the national unemployment rate
has moved narrowly in a range from 3.5 to
3.9 percent, with the exception of a sharp
but short-lived rise between August and
October 1967.
Employment Developments
Total employment reached a record high
of 75.8 million in March (seasonally adjusted). An increase of 180,000 in nonagricultural employment was partially offset by
a seasonally adjusted decline in agricultural
employment. The pickup in nonagricultural
employment was concentrated among adult
women and teenage boys.
Over the year, nonagricultural employment was up by 1.8 million, while agricultural employment fell by 125,000. The drop
in farm employment reflects the continuing
decline in farming jobs, which have fallen
by 35 percent over the last decade. At the
same time nonagricultural employment rose
by more than 18 peicent.
The increase in nonfarm payroll employment was concentrated in trade (64,000),
State and local government (57,000), and
services (27,000). After adjustment for seasonal changes, employment in manufactur-
ing and transportation was virtually unchanged over the month. Increased strike
activity in the glass containers industry
accounted for a seasonally adjusted decline
of 13,000 in the stone, clay and glass industry.
Recent trends illustrate the Nation's
continuing employment shift from goodsproducing industries (mining, construction
and manufacturing) to service-producing
industries (transportation, trade, finance,
services, and government). From March
1967 to March 1968, State and local government employment rose by 620,000, services
by 480,000, trade by 445,000 and finance by
150,000. In contrast, employment in construction rose by 11 5,000 and manufacturing
by only 80,000. Over the past decade employment in the service-producing industries has risen three times as fast as
e m p l o y m e n t in the goods-producing
industries.
Hours and Earnings
The workweek for rank and file workers
on private payrolls was unchanged between
February and March at 37.7 hours. Their
weekly earnings, at $104.43, were up 38
cents over the month and $4.87 over the
year.
The average workweek of manufacturing
production workers was unchanged over the
month at 40.7 hours (seasonally adjusted).
With the exception of a sharp weather related dip in January, the seasonally adjusted factory workweek has held comparatively stable since August 1967.
The average weekly earnings of factory
production workers, $120.18, were up by
$7.74 from March 1967. The largest share
of the rise was due to higher hourly earnings
which were up from $2.79 to $2.96 (6.1 percent) over the year.
Nonwhite unemployment, at 615,000, accounted for about one-fifth of total unemployment. Their jobless rate, at 6.9 percent
seasonally adjusted, continued at more than
double the white rate.
Unemployment
Unemployed workers numbered 2.9 million in March, about the same as a year
earlier. There were 1.2 million adult men,
1.0 million adult women and 70,000 teenagers actively seeking work. About 90 percent of the men, 75 percent of the women,
and 50 percent of the teenagers were seeking
full-time work.
Rates of unemployment continued comparatively high for nonfarm laborers (7.8
percent) and operatives (4.7 percent) and
comparatively low for white-collar workers
(1.9 percent) and craftsmen (2.6 percent).
The jobless rate for workers covered by
unemployment insurance was unchanged
over the month at 2.3 percent (seasonally
adjusted).

^Beginning with January 1959, transfers between establishments of the same firm are included in total accessions and total separations, therefore rates for these items are
not strictly comparable with prior data. Transfers comprise part of other accessions and other separations, the rates for which are not shown separately.
NOTE: Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1959. This inclusion has not significantly affected the labor turnover series.
Data for the current month are preliminary.

^Beginning with January 1959, transfers between establishments of the same firm are included in total accessions and total separations, therefore rates for these items are
not strictly comparable with prior data. Transfers comprise part of other accessions and other separations, the rates for which are not shown separately.
NOTE: Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1959. This inclusion has not significantly affected the labor turnover series.
Data for the current month are preliminary.

Technical Note
Additional information concerning the preparation
of the labor force, employment, hours and earnings,
and labor turnover series—concepts and scope,
survey methods, and limitations—is contained in
technical notes for each of these series, available
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics free of charge.
INTRODUCTION
Relation between the household and payroll series
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
three major sources: (1) household interviews, (2) payroll reports from employers, and (3) administrative
statistics of unemployment insurance systems.
The household and payroll data supplement one
another, each providing significant types of information
that the other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for example, are readily obtained only from
the household survey whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from
a sample survey of the population 16 years of age and
over. The survey is conducted each month by the Bureau
of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed, including such characteristics
as age, sex, color, marital status, occupations, hours of
work, and duration of unemployment. The survey also
provides data on the characteristics and past work experience of those not in the labor force. The information
is collected by trained interviewers from a, sample of
about 50,000 households, representing 449 areas in 863
counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50 States
and the District of Columbia. The data collected are based
on the activity or status reported for the calendar week
including the 12th of the month.
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 major
factors which have a differential effect on levels and
trends of the two series are as follows:
Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including
domestics and other private household workers), selfemployed persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15
hours or more during the survey week in family-operated
enterprises. Employment in both farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage
and salary employees on the payrolls of nonfarm establishments.
Data based on establishment pay roll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State 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 Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The figures are based on payroll reports
from a sample of 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 which includes the 12th
of the month.
Data based on administrative records of unemployment
insurance systems furnish a complete count of insured
unemployment among the two-thirds of the Nation's
labor force covered by unemployment insurance programs. Weekly reports, by State, are issued on the
number of initial claims, the volume and rate of insured
unemployment under State unemployment insurance programs, and the volume under programs of unemployment
compensation for Federal employees, ex-servicemen,
and railroad workers. These statistics are published by
the Bureau of Employment Security, U.S. Department of
Labor, in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."
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. Employed 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 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.
Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey includes among the employed all persons who had jobs but
were not at work during the survey week--that is, were
not working 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, even if they
were not paid by their employers for the time off. In
102
are the inclusion of persons under 16 in the Statistical
Research Service (SRS) 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.
the figures based on payroll reports, persons on leave
paid for by the company are i n c l u d e d , but not
those on leave w i t h o u t pay for the entire payroll
period.
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.
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 its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses
of business establishments. The major reasons for some
noncomparability are different treatment of business
units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, the
industrial classification of establishments, and different
reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are
also differences in the scope of the industries covered,
e.g., the Census of Business excludes contract construction, professional services, public utilities, and financial
establishments, whereas these are included in BLS
statistics.
Comparability of the household interview data
with other series
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total
from the household survey includes all persons who did
not have a job 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 Employment 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 employment, unpaid family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
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 treatment of
central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrial classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes
interstate railroads and government, and coverage is
incomplete for some of the nonprofit activities.
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.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are
covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All
workers in certain activities, such as interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small firms in covered
industries are also excluded in 3i States. In general,
these are establishments with less than four employees.

of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage

Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other characteristics of
the employed, the unemployed, and persons not in the
labor force, and related data are compiled for the BLS by
the Bureau of the Census in its Current Population
Survey (CPS). A detailed description of this survey
appears in "Concepts and Methods Used in Manpower
Statistics from the Current Population Survey" (BLS Re-
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years
and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of
the household 16 years of age and over. The inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,
1 03
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. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of full weeks since the
termination of their most recent employment. A period of
2 weeks or more during which a person was employed or
ceased looking for work is considered to break the continuity Of the present period of seeking work. Average
duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th 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 16 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 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.
Each month, 50,000 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 2,500 of these households are visited
but interviews are not obtained because the occupants
are not found at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 5.0 percent. In addition to the 50,000 occupied units* there, are 8,500 sample
units in an average month which are visited but found to be
vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of the
sample is changed each month. The rotation plan pro vides
for 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.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. This
measure can also be computed for groups within the labor
force classified by sex, age, marital status, color, etc.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 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
Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all as paid employees, in
their own business, profession, or farm, or who worked
15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise
operated by a member. of the family, and (b) all those
who were not working but who had jobs or businesses
from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness,
bad weather, vacation, labor- management
dispute, or personal reasons, whether or not they were
paid by their employers for the time off, and whether or
not they were seeking other jobs.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous
work experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for
a job at the time of interview, and reasons for not looking
for work are compiled on a quarterly basis. The detailed
questions for persons not in the labor force are asked
only in those households that are new entrants to the
sample and in those that are reentering the sample after
8 months' absence.
Each employed person is counted only once. Those who
held more than one job are counted in the job at which they
v/orked the greatest number of hours during the survey
week.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker f o r t h e
employed 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 unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time civilian job lasting 2 weeks
or more. The occupation and industry groups used in
data derived from the CPS household interviews are
defined as in the 1960 Census of Population. Information
on the detailed categories included in these groups is
available upon request.
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.
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 during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job within the past 4 weeks, and who were
available for work during the survey week (except for
temporary illness). Also included as unemployed are
those who did not work at all, were available for work,
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.
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
104
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.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, 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 4 to 6 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:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. T h i s is a procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by
the known 1960 Census data on the color-residence
distribution of the population. This step takes into'account the differences existing at the time of the 1960
Census between the color-residence 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 (1960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality, and migration between the U n i t e d S t a t e s and other countries.
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 of mo nth-to-mo nth changes especially and of the
levels for most items also.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
a person who normally works 40 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.
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.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey
week are designated as working "full time"; persons who
worked between 1 and 34 hours are designated as working
"part time." Part-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. Persons on full-time
schedules include, in addition to those working 35 hours
or more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomic reasons but usually work full time.
Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor
force consists of persons working on full-time schedules,
persons involuntarily working part time (because fulltime work is not available), and unemployed persons
seeking full-time jobs. The 'part-time labor force consists
of persons working part time voluntarily and unemployed
persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job but
not at work during the survey week are classified according to whether they usually work full or part
time.
Labor force time lost is a measure of man-hours
lost to the economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed
as a percent of potentially available man-hours.
It is computed by assuming: (1) that unemployed
persons looking for full-time w o r k lost an average of 37.5 hours, (2) that those looking for parttime work lost the average number of hours actually
worked by voluntary part-time workers during the
survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for
economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5
hours and the a c t u a l n u m b e r of hours they
worked.
Rounding of Estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal the
totals shown in the same tables because of independent
rounding of totals and components to the nearest thousand. Differences, however, are insignificant.
105
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.
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 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 month last year, the standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable
approximations.
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 2 out of 3 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.
Table A shows the average standard error for the
major employment status categories, by sex, computed
from data for past 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.

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
133,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of
100 that the sample estimate differs by less than 133,000
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 133,000 as the standard

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

Establishment Data
on Labor Turnover. These schedules are of the "shuttle"
type, with space for each month of the calendar year.
The collecting agency returns the schedule to the
respondent each month 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.
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonfarm establishments, by industry and geographic location.
Federal-State Cooperation
Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments and, for most industries,
payroll and man-hours of production and related workers
or nonsupervisory workers for the pay period which
includes the 12th of the month. The labor turnover
schedule provides for the collection of information on
the total number of accessions and separations, by type,
during the calendar month.
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 estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting
on the part of respondents and, together with the use of
identical techniques at the national and State levels,
insures maximum 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.
CONCEPTS
Industrial Classification
Shuttle Schedules
Two types of data collection schedules are used:
Form BLS 790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours; and Form DL 1219—Monthly Report
1 07
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and
Form DL 1219 are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined
from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected each year on a supplement to the
monthly.790 or 1219 report. For 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.
journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, laborers, etc.,
whether working at the site of construction or in shops
or yards, at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling)
ordinarily performed by members of the construction
trades.
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, as amended by the
1963 Supplement.
Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not
above the working supervisory level) such as office and
clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators,
drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social
workers, research aids, teachers, draftsmen, photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant workers,
custodial workers, attendants, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and
other employees whose services are closely associated
with those of the employees listed.
Industry Employment
Employment data except that for the Federal Government refer to persons on establishment payrolls who r e ceived pay for any part of the pay period which includes
the 12th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, employment figures represent the number of
persons who occupied positions on the last day of the
calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if they
performed any service during the month.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed,
unpaid volunteer, or family workers, farm workers, and
domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of
corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; military personnel are
excluded.
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm),
on 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.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers in manufacturing and mining, construction workers in
contract construction, and nonsupervisory employees in
the remaining nonfarm components. For Federal Government, hours and earnings relate to all employees who
worked or received pay during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month. Terms are defined below.
When the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weekly basis.
Production and related workers i n c l u d e w o r k i n g
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 f s own use (e.g., power
plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees
in the contract construction division: Working foremen,
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who
received pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th 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), tips, and the value of
free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are
excluded.
Man-hours cover man-hours worked or paid for,
during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month,
for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers.
The man-hours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly
from the firm.
Overtime hours cover hours worked by production or
related workers for which overtime premiums were paid
because the hours were in excess of the number of hours
of either the straight-time workday or the workweek during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month.
Weekend and holiday hours are included only if overtime
premiums 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
Average hourly earnings 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. Shifts in the
volume of employment between relatively high-paid and
low-paid work and changes in workers 1 earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings
averages. Averages for groups and divisions further r e flect changes in average hourly earnings for individual
industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated
period of time; rates are the amounts stipulated for a
given unit of work or time. The e a r n i n g s series
does not measure the level of total labor costs on
1 08
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, construction worker, or nonsupervisoryemployee definitions.
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.
Average Weekly Hours
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.
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 overtime premiums were
paid. 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-tomonth; for example, overtime 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 industry-group level also may 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.
Hours and Earnings For Total Private Nonagricultural
Industries
This series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions except government. The principal source of payroll
data is Form BLS 790. Secondary source material such
as Employment and Wages (Bureau of Employment
Security), County Business Patterns (Bureau of the
Census), and additional supporting information such as
The Hospital Guide, Part II, of the American Hospital
Association and special studies by the National Council
of Churches, supplement data for certain industry groups
within the service division.
For a technical description of this series, see the
article, "Hours and Earnings for Workers in Private
Nonagricultural Industries," published in the May 1967
issue of Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report
on the Labor Force.
Railroad Hours and Earnings
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 except
executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC group I)
who received pay during the month. 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 r e duced 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.
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 and his marital
status, 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 married 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 total family income.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for
the current month. The level of earnings is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base
period (1957-59).
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium
pay are computed by dividing the total productionworker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total
production-worker man-hours and one-half of tdtal 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. 537-540). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
1| 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.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and manhours 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.

Labor Turnover
ESTIMATING METHODS
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employed 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,
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the
use of the "link relative" technique, which is a form of
ratio estimation, (2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and (3) the use of size
and regional stratification.
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.
The "Link Relative" Technique
From a sample composed of establishments reporting
for both the previous and current months, the ratio of
current month employment to that of the previous month
is computed. This is called a link relative. The estimates
of employment (all employees, including production and
nonproduction workers together) for the current month
are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these "link relatives." Other features of
the general procedures are described later in the table,
Summary of Methods for Computing Industry Statistics
on Employment, Hours, Earnings, and Labor Turnover.
Further details are given in the technical notes on
Measurement of Employment> Hours, and Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries and on Measurementof L abor Turnover, which are available upon request.
Size and Regional Stratification
Other accessions, which are not published separately
but are included in total accessions, are all additions to
the employment roll which are not classified as new
hires, including transfers from another establishment
of the company.
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight
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 may be a whole
industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size
stratum of a region within an industry.
Separations are terminations of employment during
the calendar month and are classified according to cause:
Quits, layoffs, and other separations, are defined as
follows:
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.
Benchmark Adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically
with comprehensive counts of employment which provide
"benchmarks" for the various nonagriculturalindustries,
and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The
industry estimates are currently projected from March
1966 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.
0 the r sep arations, 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
for a period expected to last more than 30 consecutive
calendar days.
The primary source of benchmark information is the
employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by
State agencies from reports of establishments covered
under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, covering three-fourths of the total nonfarm employment in the United States, are prepared under the
direction of the Bureau of Employment Security. Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and a number of other agencies
in private industry or government.
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: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay
period which includes the 12th 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.
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series
of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark
and the preceding one, and the new benchmark for each
industry then is carried forward progressively to the
current month by use of the sample trends. Thus, under
110
ducing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be
obtained which will provide coverage of a sufficiently
large segment of the universe to provide reasonably
reliable estimates that can be published promptly and
regularly. The present sample meets these specifications for most industries. With its use, the BLS is able
to produce preliminary estimates each month for many
industries and for many geographic levels within a few
weeks after reports are mailed by respondents, and at a
somewhat later date, statistics in considerably greater
industrial detail. The tendency of such a sample to
produce biased estimates of the level of earnings for
certain industries is counteracted by the stratified
estimating procedure d e s c r i b e d under "Estimating
Methods."
this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the
level of employment; the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which
the series has been adjusted are subject therefore to
revision. To provide users of the data with a convenient
reference source for the revised data, the BLS publishes
as soon as possible after each benchmark revision a
summary volume of employment, hours, earnings, and
labor turnover statistics.
THE SAMPLE
Design
Coverage
The sampling plan used in the current employment
statistics program is an optimum allocation design known
as "sampling proportionate to average size of establishment." The universe of establishments is stratified first
by industry and then within each industry by size of
establishment in terms of employment. For each industry
the total size of the sample is distributed among the size
class cells on the basis of average employment per
establishment in each cell. In practice, this is equivalent
to distributing the predetermined total number of establishments required in the sample among the cells on the
basis of the ratio of employment in each cell to total
employment in the industry. Within each stratum the
sample members are selected at random.
The BLS sample of establishment employment £nd
payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the
field of social statistics. The table that follows 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.
Approximate size and coverage of BLS employment
and payrolls sample, March 1966 1
Employees
Under this type of design, large establishments fall
into the sample with certainty. The size of the samples
for the various industries is determined empirically
on the basis of experience and of cost considerations.
In a manufacturing industry in which a high proportion of
total employment is concentrated in relatively few
establishments, a large percentage of total employment
is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample
design for such industries provides for a complete
census of the larger establishments with only a few
chosen from among the smaller establishments or none
at all if the concentration of employment is great
enough. On the other hand, in an industry in which a
large proportion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all
large establishments, and also for a substantial number
of the smaller ones. Many industries in the trade and
service divisions fall into this category. To keep the
sample to a size which can be handled by available
resources, it is necessary to accept samples in these
divisions with a smaller proportion of universe employment than is the case for most manufacturing industries.
Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show less fluctuation from
regular cyclical or seasonal patterns than establishments
in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples
(in terms of employment) generally produce reliable
estimates.

Reliability of the Employment Estimates
The estimates derived from the establishment survey
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 relatively
large size of the BLS establishment sample assures a
high degree of accuracy. However, since the link relative technique requires the use of the previous month1 s
estimate as the base in computing the current month*s
estimate, small sampling and response errors may
cumulate over several months. To remove this accumulated error, the estimates are adjusted annually to new
benchmarks. In addition to the sampling and response
errors, the benchmark revision adjusts the estimates
for changes in the industrial classification of individual
establishments (resulting from changes in their product
which are not reflected in the levels of estimates until
the data are adjusted to new benchmarks). In fact, at the
more detailed industry levels, particularly within manufacturing, changes in classification are the major cause
of benchmark adjustments. Another cause of differences,
generally minor, arises from improvements in the quality
of the benchmark data. (A detailed description of the
March 1966 benchmark is available from the Bureau upon
request.)
The entire difference between the estimate and
benchmarks is assumed to have accumulated at a regular rate. Accordingly, the all employee series are adjusted by tapering out the differences for months between
the current and the previous benchmark. The series for
months subsequent to the benchmark month are revised
by projecting the level of the new benchmark by the trend
of the unadjusted series.
For the most recent months, national, State, and area
estimates are preliminary and are so footnoted in the
tables. These figures are based on less than the total
sample and are revised when all the reports in the
sample design have been received.
Approximations of the standard deviations (based
on the experience of the last several years) of revisions
between (1) final estimates and benchmarks, and (2) preliminary and final estimates, are presented in the following table. The chances are about 2 out of 3 that the
revisions will be less than the amount indicated for each

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. Definitions for all areas
are published each year in the issue of Employment ana
Earning sand Monthly Report on the Labor Force that contains State and area annual averages. Changes in
definitions are noted as they occur. 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
112
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.
For the States and the areas shown in the B and C
sections of this periodical, all the annual average data
for the detailed industry statistics currently published
by each cooperating State agency are presented (from
the earliest date of availability of each series) in a
summary volume published annually by the BLS.
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE DATA
Insured unemployment represents the number of persons reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment insurance program. It includes some persons
who are working part time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and household surveys. Excluded
are 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-employment, unpaid
family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a
minimum size). The rate of insured unemployment is the
number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent of
average covered employment in a 12-month period ending
6 to 8 months prior to the week of reference. Initial
claims are notices filed by those losing jobs covered by
an unemployment insurance program that they are starting a period of unemployment. A claimant who continues
to be unemployed a full week is then counted in the
insured unemployment figure.
Because of differences in State laws and procedures
under which unemployment insurance programs are operated, State unemployment rates generally indicate, but
do not precisely measure, differences among the individual States. Persons wishing to receive a detailed
description of the nature, sources, inclusions and exclusions, and limitations of unemployment insurance data
should address their inquiries to Bureau of Employment
Security, Washington, D.C.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring
seasonal movement which can be estimated 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. However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern—that is, changes in a
seasonally adjusted series—it is important to note that
seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based
on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have
a broader margin of possible error than the original
data on which they are based, since they are subject not
only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are
affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment
process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected
labor force and establishment data are published regularly
employees and production workers by industry division
are obtained by summing seasonally adjusted data for
the component industries. Indexes of aggregate weekly
man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for mining, contract
construction, and the major industries in manufacturing
are obtained by multiplying average weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production workers, seasonally
adjusted, and dividing by the 1957-59 base. For total,
manufacturing, and durable and nondurable goods, the
indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours, seasonally
adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggregate weekly
man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate
component Industries and dividing by the 1957-59 base.

For each of the three ma jor labor force components—
agricultural and nonagricultural employment, and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and
female workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then
added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In order
to produce seasonally adjusted total employment and
civilian labor force data, the appropriate series are
aggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted
figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the
seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the sum of
twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).
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. Revised seasonally adjusted
series for major components of the labor force based on
data through December 1967 are published in the February
1968 Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on
the Labor Force. Revisions will be made annually as each
additional year's data become available.
ATTENTION
As discussed in the Technical Note, the Bureau periodically 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. Industry
data for all national series shown in this report have been adjusted to March 1966 benchmarks.
Data from April 1966 forward are subject to revision at the time of the next benchmark.
Beginning with the September 1967 and subsequent issues of Employment and Earnings
and Monthly Report on the Labor Force, the national data in sections B, C, and D supersede
those published in previous issues, as well as those appearing in the Handbook of Labor Statistics, 1967. Comparable data are published in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the
United States, 1909-67, BLS Bulletin 1312-5.
