Employment and Unemployment Developments,
March 1975
Unemployment increased further and employment
continued to decline in March. At 8.7 percent, the
Nation's unemployment rate was up 0.5 percentage
point from January and February and 4.1 percentage
points from the October 1973 low. This was the
highest rate since 1941.
Total employment (as measured by the monthly
survey of households) declined by nearly 200,000 in
March to 83.8 million. Though not as large as in earlier
months, this marked the sixth consecutive month of
employment reductions, which have totaled 2.6 million
since last September. With the unemployment increase
of 500,000 exceeding the employment decrease, the
labor force rose by over 300,000; this increase partially
erased the large labor force drop in February.
Total nonagricultural payroll employment (as measured by the monthly survey of establishments) also
continued to decrease in March, but the 325,000
drop—to 76.4 million—was not as sharp as in previous
months. Since last October, nonagricultural payroll
jobs have receded by 2.5 million, with the manufacturing
and construction industries bearing the brunt of the
cutbacks. Because there was also a further constriction in
the workweek, total man-hours, the most comprehensive
measure of labor activity, continued its descent.
Unemployment
Unemployment resumed its steep upward trend in
March, after leveling off temporarily between January
and February, largely because of withdrawals from the
labor force. At 8.0 million, the number of unemployed
persons in March was 500,000 above the previous month
and 3.1 million above the August 1974 level, when
joblessness began its rapid climb. More than two-thirds
of the increased unemployment in March can be traced
to job loss, as the number of persons who lost their
last job rose to 4.4 million. Since last August, the
number of job losers has increased by 2.3 million,
about 700,000 women and 1.6 million men. This rise
accounted for over three-fourths of the overall increase
in unemployment.




The March increase in joblessness was shared by
virtually all worker groups. Rates were near or above
alltime highs for adult women (8.5 percent), teenagers
(20.6 percent), whites (8.0 percent), blacks (14.2
percent), household heads (5.8 percent), and full-time
workers (8.3 percent). Rates for adult men and married
men, at 6.8 and 5.2 percent respectively, were up
significantly from the previous month but were still
below post-World War II highs.
With the exception of white-collar workers, there
were widespread increases in the unemployment rates
among the major occupational groups. Blue-collar workers
were particularly hard hit, as their jobless rate moved
from 10.9 percent in February to a record 12.5 percent
in March, double their year-earlier rate. Similarly, all
major industries showed increases. The unemployment
rate for construction workers was up sharply, to 18.1
percent, and the rate for manufacturing workers rose
for the tenth consecutive month to 11.4 percent—like
the blue-collar rate, more than double a year ago.
The unemployment rate of workers covered by
State unemployment insurance programs, at 6.5 percent
in March, was up from 5.9 percent in February and 5.5
percent in January. However, it remained well below
postwar record levels. The number of workers claiming
State unemployment insurance benefits, 4.3 million,
represented 53 percent of the jobless total this March
compared with 45 percent a year earlier.
The unemployment rate for Vietnam-era veterans
aged 20-34 was essentially unchanged from February
and January at a level—9.0 percent—that was below
the rate for nonveterans, which rose to 10.5 percent.
The rate for the youngest veterans (20-24 years old)
was also about the same as in February, at 17.5 percent,
but continued to be higher than their nonveteran
counterparts (14.7 percent).
The average (mean) duration of unemployment held
relatively steady in March at 11.4 weeks, after rising
sharply in January and February. However, long-term unemployment—persons unemployed 15 weeks or more—

increased 170,000 from the February level to 2.0
million. This increase followed jumps totaling 700,000
in the previous 3 months.
In addition to the increase in joblessness, the number
of persons working part time but wanting full-time jobs,
at 3.9 million, was up 170,000 in March, after showing
little change in February. When combined with unemployment on a man-hours basis, the resulting measure—
labor force time lost—reached 9.6 percent in March,
up from 8.9 percent in February and 5.6 percent
in March 1974.

850,000. (See table A.) In the first quarter of this
year, however, the discouraged count soared to 1.1
million, the highest level since the initiation of the
series. As might be expected, the incidence of discouragement lags market conditions, following about
one quarter after the unemployment rate during the
period these data have been available. Thus, while
the recent increases of unemployment began in the
third quarter of 1974, the number of discouraged
workers did not rise until the fourth quarter. Since
the third quarter, the number of discouraged has
increased by nearly half a million (73 percent).

Total employment and civilian labor force

Table A. Discouraged workers, 1967-75

Total employment edged downward in March to 83.8
million (seasonally adjusted), with adult men accounting
for all of the decline. Since last September's peak, adult
men have comprised two-thirds of the 2.6 million drop
in employment.
On an occupational basis, an employment gain for
white-collar workers in March was more than offset by
declines among craft and kindred workers and operatives
in the blue-collar occupations, both of whom have
been hard hit by the slump in economic activity.
Employment in these two groups has declined by
900,000 and 1.7 million, respectively, from their peaks
of last summer.
The civilian labor force rose by 320,000 in March to
91.8 million, seasonally adjusted, after posting a 580,000
decline in February. The March increase occurred
entirely among adult women as the adult male and
teenage labor force levels were unchanged over the
month. The overall labor force was no larger in March
than last October despite an increase of 1.1 million
in the working-age population.
Participation in the labor force, at 61.0 percent of
the civilian noninstitutional population, was essentially
unchanged from February but well below the levels
prevailing over the October-January period. During
recessionary periods, some workers leave the labor
force because of discouragement over job prospects.
This has happened in the present downturn.

A large proportion of the discouraged are younger
or older workers, women, and blacks—groups who
experience the greatest difficulty in finding jobs. For
example, blacks accounted for about 30 percent of the
discouraged total in the first quarter, a much larger
ratio than their proportion of the labor force (11
percent). By contrast, only a small proportion of the
discouraged are males aged 25 to 59. In 1974, this group
represented 42 percent of the labor force but less than
10 percent of the discouraged worker total.
Industry payroll employment

Discouraged workers

Total nonagricultural payroll employment was 76.4
million (seasonally adjusted) in March, down 325,000
from February and 2.5 million form last October's
peak level. Although the March decline was not as
sharp as those of intervening months since October,
the overall 5-month drop was the largest since the
postwar readjustment period in 1945. Cutbacks in
employment occurred in about 72 percent of all
industries from February to March, compared with a
proportion of 85 percent, as revised, from January to
February.

During periods of economic distress, some workers
become discouraged with job prospects and give up
the search for work. Persons who are not actively
seeking work are not counted as "unemployed" but
are classified as not in the labor force. Data have
been collected on the number of persons not looking
for jobs because they believed they could not find
work—"discouraged workers"—since 1967. Up to
this year, the number of discouraged workers has
fluctuated cyclically within a range of 550,000 to

In manufacturing, employment decreased by 160,000
in March, following declines ranging from 350,000 to
500,000 in each of the previous 4 months. March
reductions were most pronounced in the primary metal,
machinery, and electrical equipment industries within
the durable goods sector and apparel in nondurable
goods. Partially countering these declines was a 50,000
job gain in the transportation equipment industry, as a
number of auto workers were recalled from layoff;
however, the industry's job total was still 215,000
short of its July 1974 level.
Employment in contract construction dropped
110,000 in March to 3.5 million, following a decline of
190,000 in the previous month. Construction jobs
have fallen 640,000 from the alltime high reached
in February 1974.
In the service-producing industries, the number of
payroll jobs fell slightly, as an increase in State and
local government was outweighed by declines elsewhere
in the sector. Employment in the services sector has
declined by 260,000 since last October. Compared
with March 1974, however, employment in these industries has grown by 865,000, in marked contrast to a
job decline totaling 2.5 million in the goods-producing
industries. The only industry exhibiting strong growth
in recent months has been State and local government,
with Federally-financed public service jobs making a
major contribution.

Factory overtime was unchanged over the month at
2.2 hours but was 1.3 hours less than a year ago. Both
the factory workweek and overtime hours in March
were at their lowest levels since the 1960-61 recession.
The aggregate man-hours of private nonfarm production or nonsupervisory workers dropped 1.2 percent
in March, the sixth consecutive monthly decline. Since
September 1974, the index of total man-hours has
fallen 7.0 percent to 105.5 (1967=100). The index of
worker hours in manufacturing also declined by 1.2
percent, much less than the rate of decrease in the previous
3 months; at 85.9 (1967=100) the index was 15.9
percent lower than March a year ago and 17.9 percent
below the alltime high reached in November 1973.

Hourly and weekly earnings.
Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls increased
0.5 percent in March and 8.0 percent from a year ago
(seasonally adjusted). Average weekly earnings, however,
edged down 0.1 percent over the month, owing to the
decline in the workweek, but were up 5.7 percent
from March 1974.
Before seasonal adjustment, hourly earnings rose
2 cents in February to $4.42. Earnings have increased
33 cents from a year ago. Average weekly earnings
were up 27 cents from February and $8.50 from
March 1974.

Hours of work
The average workweek for all production or nonsupervisory workers on nonfarm payrolls continued to
decline in March, dropping 0.2 hour to 35.9 hours,
seasonally adjusted. The average workweek has fallen
0.8 hour since last September and 1.3 hours from the
April 1973 high.
In most of the manufacturing industries, average
hours edged down, resulting in an overall drop of a
te*nth of an hour to 38.7 hours. This followed a drop of
0.4 hour in February. Since March a year ago, the average
manufacturing workweek has been reduced 1.6 hours.




The hourly earnings index
The hourly earnings index—earnings adjusted for
overtime in manufacturing, seasonality, and the effects
of changes in the proportion of workers in high-wage
and low-wage industries—was 168.7 (1967=100) in
March, 1.0 percent higher than in February. The index
was 9.8 percent above March a year ago. During the
12-month period ending in February, the Hourly Earnings
Index in dollars of constant purchasing power declined
1.6 percent.

tAs noted on page 7 of the January 1972 issue of this magazine, the series does not include earned pay withheld as a consequence of delays caused by the wage freeze in effect between August 15
and November 14, 1971, and by administrative procedures of the Pay Board. These delays resulted from compliance with the Government's Economic Stabilization Program. Because these withheld
payments were substantial and fell due under a significant number of new labor-management contracts in that industry,they affected a large proportion of SIC 372. The series including these payments for September 1971 - March 1973 are shown below.
The issue of an additional 17 cents delayed payment for employees in a number of companies, which had been pending as a consequence of litigation in the courts, has been resolved and the
additional amount will be paid by the affected companies with final payments being made by most of the affected reporting establishments in December 1974. As a result, using additional data to be
collected, these series will be revised to include the additional delayed payments. These revisions are expected to be published in 1975.

Basic series consists of regular hourly payroll
expenditures
before
deductions,
i. e.,
straight-time hourly earnings plus premium
and incentive pay. Series adjusted for
overtime and interindustry employment
shifts excludes overtime premiums in
manufacturing only. Weekly earnings in

and vacation funds.

Compensation is cash payments to worker,
exclusive of perquisites such as room or
board.

Explanatory Notes
Introduction

Introduction
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from tnree major
sources: (1) Household interviews, (2) reports from employers,
and (3) administrative statistics of unemployment insurance
systems.
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 47,000
households, representing 461 areas in 923 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 based on establishment records are compiled each
month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, m cooperation with State agencies. The establishment
surveys are designer1 to provide detailed industry information on
nonagncul.tural wage and salary employment, average weekly
hours, average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The employment, hours, and earnings series are based on payroll
reports from a sample of
establishments employing over
30 million nonagricultural 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. Based on a somewhat smaller sample, labor
turnover data relate to actions occurring during the entire
month.
Data based on administrative records of unemployment
insurance systems furnish a complete count of insured
unemployment among the three-fourths 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 Manpower Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."

RELATION BETWEEN THE HOUSEHOLD AND
ESTABLISHMENT SERIES
The household and establishment 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




136

whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably denvec
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 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), self-employed persons, and
unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during the survey
week in family-operated enterprises. Employment in both
agricultural and nonagricultural industries is included. The
payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the
payrolls of nonagricultural 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. 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 the figures
based on payroll reports, persons on leave paid for by the
company are included, !^ut not those on leave without pay for
the entire payroll period
For a comprehensive discussion of the differences between
household and establishment survey employment data, see
Gloria P. Green's article "Comparing Employment Estimates
from Household and Payroll Surveys," Monthly Labor Review,
December 1969. Reprints of this article are available upon
request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Population.

Information on the detailed categories included in these groups
is available upon request.
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 government 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.
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
Columbus Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours
even though he was paid for the holiday.
For persons working in more than one j o b , 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.
The distribution of employment by hours worked relate to
persons "at w o r k " during the survey week. At-work data differ
from data on total employment because the latter include
persons in zero-hours worked category, " w i t h a job but not at
w o r k . " Included in this latter group are persons who were on
vacation, i l l , involved in a labor dispute, or otherwise absent
from their jobs for voluntary, noneconomic reasons.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey week are
designated as working " f u l l t i m e , " persons who worked between
1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part t i m e . " 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 w o r k , 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
w o r k , 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 and 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 (part time for economic reasons), 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 ) T h a t
unemployed persons looking for full-time work lost an average
of 37.5 hours, (2) that those looking for part-time 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 actual number of hours they worked.
the

White and Negro and other races are terms used to describe
color or race of workers. The Negro and other races




category, which in the past had been identified as " n o n w h i t e , "
includes all persons who are observed in the enumeration process
to be other than white. At the time of the 1970 Census of
Population, 89 percent of the Negro and other races population
group were Negro; the remainder were American Indians,
Eskimos, Orientals, and other nonwhite. Tables in this volume
which contain these data utilize the word " c o l o r " t o so indicate.
The term " N e g r o " is used in tables when the relevant data are
provided for Negroes exclusively.
Spanish origin refers to persons who identified themselves
in the enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto Rican living on
the mainland, Cuban, Central or South American or other
Spanish origin or descent. According to the 1970 Census,
approximately 98 percent of their population is white.
Major activity: going to school and major activity: other are
terms used to describe whether the activity of young persons
during the reference week was primarily one of going to school
or not. Statistics on major activities are published every month
in table A 6 for 16-21 year-olds by employment status, color,
sex, and, if unemployed, whether seekinq full- or part-time work.
Household head. One person in each household is designated as
the head. The head is usually the person regarded as the head by
the members of the group. If a husband and wife family occupy
the unit, the husband is designated as the head. The number of
heads, therefore, is equal to the number of households.
Vietnam-era
veterans are those who served in the Armed
Forces of the United States after August 4 , 1964. Tables for
veterans in this volume are limited to men in the civilian
nonmstitutional population; i.e., veterans in institutions and
females are excluded.
Nonveterans are males who never served in the Armed
Forces.
Poverty areas classification consists of all Census geograph
ical divisions in which 20 percent or more of the residents wem
poor according to the 1970 Decennial Census. Persons we»e
classified as poor or nonpoor by using income thresholds
adopted by a Federal interagency committee in 1969. These
thresholds vary by family size, composition, and residence
(farm-nonfarm). While poverty areas have a substantial con
centration of low-income residents, many poor persons live out
side these areas and, conversely, the areas include many people
who are not poor.

HISTORIC COMPARABILITY
Raised lower age limit
Beginning with data for 1967, the lower age limit for official
statistics on persons in the labor force was raised from 14 to 16
years. At the same time, several definitions were sharpened to
clear up ambiguities. The principal definitional changes were:
(1) Counting as unemployed only persons who were currently
available for work and who had engaged in some specific
jobseeking activity within the past 4 weeks; an exception to the
latter condition is made for persons waiting to start a new job in
30 days or waiting to be recalled f r o m layoff; in the past, the
current availability test was not applied and the time period for
jobseeking was ambiguous; (2) counting as employed persons
who were absent'from their jobs in the survey week because of
strikes, bad weather, etc. and those who were looking for other
jobs; previously, these persons had been classified as
unemployed; (3) sharpening the questions on hours of work,

139

duration of unemployment, and self-employment in order to
increase their reliability.
These changes did not affect the unemployment rate by more
than one-fifth of a percentage point in either direction, although
the distribution of unemployment by sex was affected. The
number of employed was reduced about 1 million because of the
exclusion of 14- and 1 5-year-olds. For persons 16 years and over,
the only employment series appreciably affected were those
relating to hours of work and class of worker. A detailed
discussion of the changes and their effect on the various series is
contained in "New Definitions of Employment and Unemploy
ment" by Robert L. Stein in the February 1967 issue of Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force. Reprints may be obtained upon request.

Noncomparability of labor force levels
Before the changes introduced in 1967, the labor force data
were not comparable for three earlier periods: (1) Beginning
1953, as a result of the introduction of data from the 1950
census into the estimation 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 totals and males; other categories were relative
unaffected; (2) beginning 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and
Hawaii resulted in an increase of about 500,000 in the
population and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of
this in nonagricultural employment; other labor force categories
were not appreciably affected; (3) beginning 1962, the introduction of figures from the 1960 census reduced the population by
about 50,000, labor force and employment by about 200,000;
unemployment totals were virtually unchanged. In addition,
beginning 1972, information from the 1970 census was introduced into the estimation procedures, producing an increase in
the civilian noninstitutional population of about 800,000; labor
force and employment totals were raised by a little more than
300,000, and unemployment levels and rates were essentially
unchanged. A subsequent population adjustment based on the
1970 census was introduced in March 1973. This adjustment
affected the white and Negro and other races groups but had
little effect on totals. The adjustment resulted in the reduction
of nearly 300,000 in the white population and an increase of the
same magnitude in the Negro and other races population.
Civilian labor force and total employment figures were affected •
to a lesser degree; the white labor force was reduced by 150,000,
and the Negro and other races labor force rose by about
210,000. Unemployment levels and rates were not affected
significantly.
Beginning in January 1974, the methodology used to prepare independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutional
population was modified to an "inflation-deflation" approach.
This change in the derivation of the population estimates had
its greatest impact on estimates of 20-24 year-old males—
particularly those of Negro and other races—but had little effect
on 16 and over totals. Additional information on the adjustment
procedure appears in "CPS Population Controls Derived from
Inflation-Deflation Method of Estimation" in the February 1974
issue of Employment and Earnings.

occupational classifications introduced into the Current Population Survey (CPS). These changes stemmed from an exhaustive
review of the classification system to be used for the 1970
Census of Population. This review, the most comprehensive since
the 1940 census, was to reduce the size of large groups, to be
more specific about general and "not elsewhere classified"
groups, and to provide information on emerging significant
occupations. Differences in March 1970 employment levels
tabulated on both the 1960 and 1970 classification systems
ranged from a drop of 650,000 in operatives to an increase of
570,000 in service workers, much of which resulted from a shift
between these two groups; the nonfarm laborers group increased
by 420,000, and changes in other groups amounted to 220,000
or less.
An additional major group was created by splitting the
operatives category into two: operatives, except transport, and
transport equipment operatives. Separate data for these two
groups first became available in January 1972. At the same time,
several changes in titles, as well as in order of presentation, were
introduced; for example, the title of the managers, officials, and
proprietors group was changed to "managers and administrators,
except farm," since only proprietors performing managerial
duties are included in the category.
Apart from the effects of revisions in the occupational
classification system beginning in 1 9 7 1 , comparability of
occupational employment data was further affected in December
1 9 7 1 , when a question eliciting information on major activities
or duties was added to the monthly CPS questionnaire in order
to determine more precisely the occupational classification of
individuals. This change resulted in several dramatic occupational
shifts, particularly from managers and administrators to other
groups. Thus, meaningful comparisons of occupational levels
cannot be made between 1972 and earlier periods. However,
revisions in the occupational classification system as well as in
the CPS questionnaire are believed to have had but a negligible
impact on unemployment rates.
Additional information on changes in the occupational
classification system of the CPS appears in "Revisions in
Occupational Classifications for 1 9 7 1 " and "Revisions in the
Current Population Survey" in the February 1971 and February
1972 issues, respectively, of Employment and Earnings.

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 of the respondent for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by combinations of sample areas and,
within these, for six groups—two race categories (white, and
Negro and other races) within three residence categories. For
sample areas which are standard metropolitan statistical areas
(SMSA's), these residence categories are the central cities, and
the urban and the rural balance of the SMSA's. For other sample

varies from 3 to 5 percent depending on weather, vacations, etc

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
oast 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 ^ are acceptable approximations of
the standard errors of year-to-year change.

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:

Table A. Average standard error of major employment
status categories
[In thousands]

a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is a procedure in which the
sample proportions are weighted by the known 1970 Census
data on the color-residence distribution of the population. This
step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the
1970 Census between the color-residence distribution for the
Nation and for the sample areas.

Employment status and sex

b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the sample proportions are applied to independent current estimates of the
population by age, sex, and color. Prior to January 1974 these
estimates were prepared by carrying forward the most recent
census data (1970) after taking account of subsequent aging
of the population, births, deaths, and migration between the
United States 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 month-to-month changes especially and
of the levels for most items also.

Beginning in 1974, the "inflation-deflation" method of
deriving independent population controls was introduced into
the CPS estimation procedures. In this procedure, the most
recent census population adjusted to include estimated net
census undercount by age, sex, and color (i.e., "inflated") is
carried forward to each subsequent month and later age by
adding births, subtracting deaths, and adding net migration.
These postcensal population estimates are then "deflated" to
census level to reflect the pattern of net undercount in the
most recent census by age, sex, and color. The actual percent
change over time in the population in any age group is preserved.

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.
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.
Illustration. Assume that the tables showed the total number o
persons working a specific number of hours as 15,000,000, ar
increase of 500,000 over the previous month. Linear interpola
tion in the first column of table B shows that the standard erro
of 15,000,000 is about 133,000. Consequently, the chances an
about 68 out of 100 that the sample estimate differs by less than
133,000 from the figure wnich 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 error of the
monthly level in table C, it may be seen that the standard error
of the 500,000 increase is about 126,000.

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 m
table D. As a general rule, percentages will not be published
when the monthly base is less than 75,000 or the annual base is

less than 35,000. Table E shows the standard error of percentage
of monthly levels and consecutive month change for frequently
.analyzed unemployment rate series. These errors are computed
from data for recent months. Errors on change for nonconsecutive months are slightly greater (by roughly a factor of 1.1 times
the month-to-month error).

(B, C, and D tables)

COLLECTION

Industry employment
Employment data, except those for the Federal Government,
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received 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 m o n t h .
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 establishment payrolls who are on paid sick leave
(when pay is received directly from the f i r m ) , 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 have not been paid during the
period.

Payroll reports provide current information on wage and
salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in
nonagricultural establishments, by industry and geographic
location.

Federal-State cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements w i t h State agencies, the
respondent fills out a single employment or labor turnover
reporting f o r m , 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 establishment data to the BLS for use in
preparing the national series.

Shuttle schedules
Industry hours and earnings
Two types of data collection schedules are used: Form BLS
7 9 0 - M o n t h l y Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours; and
Form DL 1219—Monthly Report on Labor Turnover. These
schedules are of the " s h u t t l e " type, with space for each month
of the calendar year. The collection 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.

Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payroll 4
and man-hours for production and related workers in manu
factunng and mining, construction workers in contract construct i o n , and nonsupervisory employees in the remaining private
nonagricultural components. For Federal Government, hours
and earnings relate to all employees, both supervisory and
nonsupervisory. 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 include working foreman 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.
Construction
workers include the following employees in
the contract construction division: Working foremen, journeymen, mechanic's 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.
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.

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 manhours of
production and related workers or nonsupervisory workers for
the pay period which includes the 12th of the m o n t h . Form DL
1219 provides for the collection of information on the total
number of accessions and separations, by type, during the
calendar month.

CONCEPTS
Industrial classification
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.
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,
1967.




Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time production,
construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received pay for

143

scheduled hours. Such factors as unpaid 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.

any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind,
?.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 pa»d regularly each pay period),
other pay not earned in the pay period reported (e.g., retroactive
pay), tips, and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other
payment in kind are excluded. "Fringe benefits" (such as health
and other types of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc
paid by the employer) are also excluded.
Man-hours cover man-hours 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
f
or which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other
similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.

Average overtime hours

The overtime hours represent the 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-to-month; 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.

Jross average hourly and weekly earnings
Hours and earnings for total private
nonagricultural industries

Average hourly earning? 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' 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.
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 earnings series 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
construction-worker, or nonsupervisory-employee 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. Monthly variations in such factors as proportion of
part-time workers, stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover
during the survey period, and absenteeism for which employees
are not paid may cause the average workweek to fluctuate.
Long-term trends of gross average weekly earnings can be
affected by structural changes in the makeup of the work force.
For example, persistent long-term increases in the proportion of
part-time workers in retail trade and many of the service
industries have reduced average workweeks in these industries
and have affected the average weekly earnings series.

This series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions except
government. The principal source of payroll data is Form BLS
790. Secondary source material such as the Bureau's Employment and Wages, County Business Patterns of the Bureau of the
Census, and additional supporting information such as The
Hospital Guide, Part I I , 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. Reprints
are available upon request.
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, reduced
to a weekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined
above. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplyinq
average weekly hours by average hourly earnings.

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 gross average weekly earnings for all production or
nonsupervisory workers in the industry division excluding other
income and income earned by other family members.
The series reflects the spendable earnings of only those
workers, with either none or three dependents, whose gross
weekly pay approximates the average earnings indicated for all
production and nonsupervisory workers. It does not reflect, for
example, the average earnings of all workers with three
dependents; such workers, in fact have higher gross average
earnings than workers with no dependents.
Since part-time as well as full-time workers are included, and
since the proportion of part-time workers has been rising, the
series understates the increase in earnings for full-time workers.
As noted, "fringe benefits" are not included in the earnings. For
a more complete discussion of the uses and limitations of these
series, see the article by Paul M. Schwab, "Two Measures of
Purchasing Power Contrasted," in the Monthly Labor Review for
April 1971 . Reprints of this article are available from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the current
month. This is done for gross average weekly earnings and for
spendable average weekly earnings. The level of earnings is thus
adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base period
'1967).

detailed discussion of these indexes appears in "Introduction of
Diffusion Indexes," in the December, 1974 issue of Employment
and Earnings.

Labor turnover
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.
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 employment
roll which are not classified as new hires, including transfers
from other establishments of the company and employees
recalled from layoff.
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.
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 for a period expected to last more than
30 consecutive calendar days.

Average hourly earnings excluding overtime

Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay are
computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for
the industry group by the sum of total production-worker
man-hours 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. 537-540). Both
methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
1Y2 times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for
other premium payment provisions, such as holiday work,
late-shtft 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 man-hours are
prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1967 period. The man-hour aggregates
are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker
or nonsupervisory worker employment, and the payroll
aggregates are the product of man-hour aggregates and average
hourly earnings. At all higher levels of aggregation, man-hour and
payroll aggregates are the sum of the component aggregates.

Relationship of labor turnover to 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.

Indexes of diffusion of changes in number of employees on
nonagricultural payroll

These indexes measure the percent of industries which
posted increases in employment over the specified time span.
The indexes are calculated from 172 unpublished seasonally
adjusted employment series (two-digit nonmanufacturing industires and three-digit manufacturing Industries) covering ail nonagricultural payroll employment in the private sector. A more




145

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." In
addition, small bias correction factors are applied to selected
employment estimates each month. The size of the bias
correction factors is determined from past experience. Other
features of the general procedures are described in table F,
Summary of methods for computing industry statistics on
employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover.

ESTIMATING METHODS
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.

THE SAMPLE

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.

Design

Benchmark adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically with comprehensive counts of employment which provide "benchmarks"
for the various nonagricultural industries, and appropriate
adjustments are made as indicated. The industry estimates are
currently projected from March 1973 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made annually.
The primary sources of benchmark information are employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by State agencies
from reports of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, cover nearly ninetenths of the total nonagricultural employment in the United
States. Benchmarks 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.
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 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; the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level. A comparison of the actual
amounts of revisions due to the March 1973 benchmark adjustment is shown in table G.

'

Under this type of design, large establishments fall into the
sample with certainty. The size of the sample 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 large
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 small ones. Many
industries in the trade and services divisions fall into fhis
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.
In the context of the BLS employment and labor turnover
statistics programs, with their emphasis on producing 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 detaii.

1973

. . .

The sampling plan used in the current employment statistics
program is known as "sampling proportionate to average size of
establishment." This design is an optimum allocation design
among strata since the sampling variance is proportional to the
average size of establishments. 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
number of sample units is distributed among the size class cells
on the basis ot 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
noncertainty stratum the sample members are selected at
random.

Coverage
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which the
series has been adjusted are subject 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, entitled Employment and Earnings,
United States.

The BLS sample of establishment employment and payrolls is
the largest monthly sampling operation in the field of social
statistics. Table H shows the approximate proportion of total
employment in each industry division covered by the group of

Since a few establishments do not report payroll and
man hour information, hours and earnings estimates may be
based on a slightly smaller sample than employment estimates.

the BLS by the Civil Service Commission. State and area
estimates are based on a sample of 3,300 reports covering about
54 percent of employment in Federal establishments.

annually to new benchmarks. In addition to taking account of
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 arises from improvements in the
quality of the benchmark data. Improvements brought about
by the most recent expansion in unemployment insurance
coverage were the major cause of differences in the March
1973 benchmark adjustments. (See article by Carol M. Utter,
BLS Establishment Estimates Revised to March 1973 Benchmark Levels, in the December 1974 issue.) Table J presents
the average percent revisions of the six most recent benchmarks for major industry divisions. Detailed descriptions of
individual benchmark revisions are available from the Bureau
upon request.
The hours and earnings estimates for cells are not subject to
benchmark revisions, although the broader groupings may be
affected slightly by changes in employment weights. The hours
and earnings estimates, however, are subject to sampling errors
which may be expressed as relative errors of the estimates. (A
relative error is a standard error expressed as a percent of the
estimate.) Relative errors for major industries are presented in
table J and for individual industries with the specified number of
employees in table K.The chances are about 2 out of 3 that the
hours and earnings estimates from the sample would differ by a
smaller percentage than the relative error from the averages that
would have been obtained from a complete census.

Reliability of the employment estimates
Although the relatively large size of the BLS establishment
sample assures a high degree of accuracy, the estimates derived
from it may differ from the figures that would be obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules
and procedures. As discussed under the previous section, a link
relative technique is used to estimate employment. This requires
the use of the previous month's estimate as the base in
computing the current month's estimate. Thus, small sampling
and response errors may cumulate over several months to
remove this accumulated error, the estimates are usually adjusted

Assuming 12 month intervals between benchmark revisions.

For the two most recent months, estimates of employment,
hours, and earnings 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 have been received.
Table L presents root-mean-square errors of the amounts of
revisions that may be expected between the preliminary and
final levels of employment and preliminary and final month-tomonth changes. Revisions of preliminary hours and earnings
estimates are normally not greater than .1 of an hour for weekly
hours and 1 cent for hourly earnings.

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 and Earnings that contains State and
area annual averages (usually the May issue). 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 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 ihe 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 data of availability of
each series) in a summary volume published annually by the
BLS.

Unemployment insurance data
(E tables)

Insured unemployment represents the number of persons
reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment
insurance program. \i 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 and workers who have not earned rights to
unemployment insurance. In general, excluded from coverage are
those persons engaged in agriculture, domestic service, unpaid




family work, selected nonprofit organizations, some State and
local government and self-employment. Also excluded from the
insured unemployment count, but included as employed in the
household survey, are those persons who earned no wages during
the payroll period because they were temporarily absent from
their jobs due to taking time off, illness and industrial dispute as
well as unpaid vacations. The rate of insured unemployment is
the number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent of

149

average covered employment in a 1 2-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 continued 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 limitation of unemployment
insurance data should address their inquiries to Manpower
Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210.

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 patternthat 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 in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment methods used for these series are an
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 of the method
is given in the two publications, BLS Seasonal Factor Method
(1966) and X-11 Variant of the Census Method It Seasonal Adjustment Program, Technical Paper No. 15, Bureau of the
Census (1967).
Data for the household series are seasonally adjusted by the
Census X-11 Method. For each of the three major labor force
components—agricultural employment, nonagricultural employment, and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (male
and female workers, 16-19 years and 20 years and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and 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 for all civilian workers is derived by
dividing the figure for total unemployment (the sum of four
seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the
civilian labor force (the sum of 12 seasonally adjusted age-sex
components). Other series, such as unemployment by duration or
employment by major occupational groups, are independently
adjusted.
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data
are based on a pattern shown by past experience. Once each
year (in January), these factors are revised in the light o* the
previous years' experience. Revised seasonally adjusted series
for major components of the labor force based on data through
December 1974, plus a short description of the methodology,

are published in the February 1975 Employment and Earnings.
Many additional series, which are either components or aggregates
~* the series presented, are available from the BLS upon request.
For establishment data, the seasonally adjusted series on
hours and hourly earnings, for industry groupings are computed by applying factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, utilizing the BLS Seasonal Factor Method.
However, seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees and production workers by industry division are
obtained by summing seasonally adjusted data for the component industries. Seasonally adjusted average weekly earnings are the product of seasonally adjusted average hourly
earnings and average weekly hours. Average weekly earnings
in constant dollars, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by dividing
seasonally adjusted average weekly earnings by the seasonally
adjusted Consumer Price Index. Indexes of aggregate weekly
man-hours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by multiplying average weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production or nonsupervisory workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing by the
1967 base. For total private, total goods producing, total private
service producing, trade, 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 1967 base.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal
Government are based on a series which excludes the Christmas
temporary help employed by the Postal Service in December
The employment of these workers constitutes the only
significant seasonal change in Federal Government employment
during the winter months. Furthermore, the volume of such
employment may change substantially from year to year because
of administrative decisions by the Postal Service. Hence, it was
considered desirable to exclude this group from the data upon
which the seasonally adjusted series is based.
Labor turnover rates are seasonally adjusted by applying
appropriate seasonal factors to the rate. These factors are
derived by the Census X-11 method using the trading day
option. As a result these series are adjusted for the number of
times each day of the week occurs in a given month, as well
as for the month of the year.
The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishment
data reflect experience through August 1974. Seasonal factors
to be used for current adjustment appear in the December 1974
issue of Employment and Earnings.

Additional information concerning the preparation of the labor force, employment, hours, earnings,
and labor turnover series—concepts and scope, survey methods, and limitations—is contained in the
Handbook of Methods, BLS Bulletin 1711.
