Employment and Unemployment
Developments, March 2003

T

otal nonfarm payroll employment declined by 108,000
in March, while the unemployment rate was
unchanged at 5.8 percent. Employment continued to
decline in manufacturing, retail trade, and transportation.
Government employment also was down over the month.

Unemployment
The number of unemployed persons, 8.4 million, was
unchanged in March, and the unemployment rate remained
at 5.8 percent. Unemployment rates for the major worker
groups—adult men (5.3 percent), adult women (5.0 percent),
teenagers (17.7 percent), whites (5.1 percent), blacks or African
Americans (10.2 percent), and Hispanics or Latinos (7.5
percent)—showed little or no change in March. The
unemployment rate for Asians was 6.5 percent, not seasonally
adjusted. About 1 in 5 unemployed persons had been without
a job for 27 weeks or longer. (See tables A-3, A-4, A-12, and
A-13.)
Total employment and the labor force
Total employment in March was 137.3 million, and the
employment-population ratio was about unchanged at 62.3
percent. The civilian labor force was 145.8 million. The labor
force participation rate—the proportion of the population
age 16 and older who are either working or looking for work—
was 66.2 percent. Since March 2001, the labor force
participation rate has decreased by 0.9 percentage point. (See
table A-3.)
There were 4.7 million persons working part time for
economic reasons in March, little changed from February.
These persons indicated that they would like to work full
time, but worked part time because their hours were cut back
or they were unable to find a full-time job. The number of
such workers has increased by about half a million over the
year. (See tableA-7.)
Persons not in the labor force
In March, 1.6 million persons were marginally attached to the
labor force, compared with 1.4 million a year earlier. These
individuals wanted and were available to work and had looked
for a job sometime in the prior 12 months. They were not
counted as unemployed, however, because they did not
actively search for work in the 4 weeks preceding the survey.
There were 474,000 discouraged workers in March, up from
330,000 a year ago. Discouraged workers, a subset of the
marginally attached, were not currently looking for work
specifically because they believed no jobs were available for
them. (See tableA-37.)




Industry payroll employment
Total nonfarm payroll employment fell by 108,000 in March
to 130.4 million, seasonally adjusted. This followed a loss of
357,000 jobs (as revised) in February. The largest job declines
in March occurred in manufacturing, retail trade, and
government. Construction employment edged upward, and
most other major industries showed little change in
employment. (See table B-3.)
Widespread job losses continued in manufacturing
(-36,000) over the month, particularly in the industries that
produce durable goods. Manufacturing employment reached
its most recent peak in April 1998 and has since fallen by 2.5
million. Over the month, employment in industrial machinery
decreased by 8,000 and has fallen by 470,000 since its most
recent peak in April 1998. Employment in electronic and other
electrical equipment edged down by 4,000 in March and has
dropped by 418,000 since November 2000. Aircraft
manufacturing lost 2,000 jobs over the month, and
employment in the industry has declined by 141,000 since
September 1998. Each of these three industries has had an
employment decrease of at least 20 percent.
In March, employment in the construction industry
increased by 21,000, following a decrease of 42,000 (as revised)
in February. Since April 2002, construction industry
employment has shown virtually no net change. In mining,
employment has been essentially unchanged since September
2002. A gain of 9,000 jobs in oil and gas extraction over that
period was largely offset by losses in nonmetallic mining.
Retail trade lost 43,000 jobs in March, after seasonal
adjustment, mainly reflecting another large decline in eating
and drinking places. Employment in eating and drinking
places fell by 38,000 over the month; the industry has lost
nearly 300,000 jobs since its peak in July 2001. Department
stores lost 13,000 jobs in March.
Over the past 2 years, government employment trended
upward, while private sector employment trended downward.
Recently, budget problems have lowered the rate of job
growth in State and local government. In March, government
employment fell by 40,000.
Transportation employment was down by 14,000 in March,
with small losses across many component industries. Since
peaking in January 2001, transportation has lost 301,000 jobs,
with air transportation accounting for over half the decline.
Employment in services was essentially unchanged in
March, after decreasing by 121,000 in February. Computer
and data processing services lost 10,000 jobs over the month.
Seasonal hiring was less than usual in several services
industries. As a result, seasonally adjusted employment was

down in help supply services (-48,000), amusements and
recreation (-21,000), agricultural services (-15,000), and hotels
and other lodging places (-12,000). Job gains in other service
industries, such as health services, private education, and
social services, partly offset these losses.
Wholesale trade employment held steady during the first
3 months of 2003. The industry had lost an average of 5,000
jobs per month in 2002.
Employment in finance edged upward in March. Mortgage
banking added 3,000 jobs, compared with average gains of
7,000 over the previous 9 months. Since January 2001,
employment in this industry has increased by 126,000, or 42
percent.
Weekly hours
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory
workers on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 0.2 hour in

March to 34.3 hours, seasonally adjusted. The manufacturing
workweek was unchanged at 40.8 hours. Manufacturing
overtime was down by 0.1 hour to 4.0 hours. (See table B-8.)
The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or
nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls
increased by 0.3 percent in March to 147.6 (1982=100),
seasonally adjusted. The manufacturing index fell by 0.6
percent to 90.0 over the month. (See table B-9.)
Hourly and weekly earnings
Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory
workers on private nonfarm payrolls increased by 2 cents in
March to $15.10, seasonally adjusted. This followed a gain
of 9 cents in February (as revised). Average weekly earnings
rose by 0.7 percent in March to $517.93. Over the year,
average hourly earnings increased by 3.1 percent and average
weekly earnings grew by 3.4 percent. (See table B-l 1.)

Impact of the Call-up of Military Reservists on the Employment Data
According to information released by the U.S. Department of Defense, about 210,000 reservists have been
called into active duty as of mid-March. BLS is unable to quantify the impact of this call-up on its
employment figures.
With regard to the payroll survey:
•

In concept, persons on active military duty for the entire survey reference period are not
included on employer payrolls.

•

Some reservists would have held jobs not covered by the payroll survey—such as the self
employed or those in agriculture—and others may not have held jobs at all.

•

Some of the reservists were called up recently and may have worked for their regular employer
during part of the survey reference period. Therefore, they would have been counted on the
employer's payroll.

•

If reservists are replaced by new workers on an employer's payroll, there would be no net
change in the number of jobs counted. If reservists are not replaced, a net decline in the
employer's job count would result.

With regard to the household survey, the Current Population Survey only measures the civilian
noninstitutional population. Also, the population levels to which the labor force estimates are controlled
are not adjusted to reflect the call-up of reservists. As a result, the survey will not register the impact of
these call-ups.

program, will be converted from the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) basis to the 2002 North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS) basis with the release of May 2003 estimates on June 6,
2003. The NAICS conversion involves major definitional changes to many of the currently published SICbased series. After the conversion to NAICS, SIC-based series will no longer be produced or published.
Historical time series will be reconstructed as part of the NAICS conversion process. All published series
will have a NAICS-based history extending back to at least January 1990. For total nonfarm and other highlevel aggregates, NAICS history will begin in January 1939, the current starting date for these series. For
more detailed series, the starting date will vary depending on the scope of the definitional changes between
SIC and NAICS. The NAICS-based reconstruction effort will cover all CES published data types: All
employees, women workers, production workers, average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, and
derivative series (for example, indexes of aggregate weekly hours).
Completion of the CES sample redesign. June 6,2003, also will mark the completion of the CES sample
redesign phase-in. The redesign converts the CES from a quota-based sample to a probability-based
sample. In June 2003, the services industries will be converted to the new sample design; all other private
sector industries have already been converted. The final stage of the sample redesign phase-in may result
in level shifts for average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, production worker, and women worker
series. New levels for these series are being recomputed from the NAICS-based probability sample.
Concurrent seasonal adjustment Also beginning in June 2003, the CES program will convert to concurrent
seasonal adjustment, which uses all available monthly estimates, including those for the current month, in
developing seasonal factors. Currently, the CES program projects seasonal factors twice a year. With the
introduction of concurrent seasonal adjustment, BLS will no longer publish seasonal factors for CES national
estimates.
Change to Federal Government series. Beginning in June 2003, the CES series for Federal Government
employment will be revised slightly in scope and definition due to a change in source data and estimation
methods. The current national series is an end-of-month Federal employee count produced by the Office of
Personnel Management, and it excludes some workers, mostly employees who work in Department of
Defense-owned establishments such as military base commissaries. The CES national series will include
these workers starting in June. Also, Federal Government employment will be estimated from a sample of
Federal establishments, will be benchmarked annually to counts from unemployment insurance tax records,
and will reflect employee counts as of the pay period including the 12th of the month, consistent with other
CES industry series. The historical time series for Federal Government employment will be revised to reflect
these changes.
Further information on upcoming changes to CES data series is available through the BLS public database
on the Internet, via the CES homepage at http://www.bls.gov/ces/, or by calling 202-691-6555.

data include the use of new population controls that reflect Census 2000 results. Beginning in January
2003, data reflect an additional upward adjustment to population controls and other changes to the survey.
These changes affect comparability with data for prior periods.

NOTE: Estimates for the above race groups (white and black or African
American) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In
addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any
race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Beginning in
January 2003, data reflect revised population controls used in the household

Persons at work excludes employed persons who were absent from their jobs
during the entire reference week for reasons such as vacation, illness, or industrial
dispute. Part time for noneconomic reasons excludes persons who usually work full
time but worked only 1 to 34 hours during the reference week for reasons such as
holidays, illness, and bad weather.
NOTE: Detail for the data shown in this table will not necessarily add to totals

Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only; persons who
selected more than one race group are not included. Prior to 2003, persons who
reported more than one race group were included in the group they identified as
the main race. For more information, see the "Explanatory Notes and Estimates
of Error" section of this publication.
NOTE: Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African American,




and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In
addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any
race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Beginning in
January 2003, data reflect revised population controls used in the household
survey.

Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only; persons who
selected more than one race group are not included. Prior to 2003, persons who
reported more than one race group were included in the group they identified as the
main race. For more information, see the "Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error"
section of this publication.

Data not shown where base is less than 75,000.
NOTE: In the summer months, the educational attainment levels of youth not enrolled




in school are increased by the temporary movement of high school and college students
into that group. Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African American,
and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In
addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race
and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Beginning in January
2003, data reflect revised population controls used in the household survey.

Data not shown where base is less than 75,900.
Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only; persons who
selected more than one race group are not included. Prior to 2003, persons who
reported more than one race group were included in the group they identified as
the main race. For more information, see the "Explanatory Notes and Estimates
of Error" section of this publication.
NOTE: Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African American,

and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In
addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of
any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race.
Nonagricultural industries reflect the introduction of the 2002 Census industry
classification system derived from the 2002 North American Industry
Classification System into the Current Population Survey. Beginning in January
2003, data reflect revised population controls used in the household survey.

Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only; persons
who selected more than one race group are not included. Prior to 2003,
persons who reported more than one race group were included in the group
they identified as the main race. For more information, see the "Explanatory
Notes and Estimates of Error" section of this publication.
NOTE: Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African




American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for
all races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or
Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as
by race. Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population controls
used in the household survey.

Beginning in January 2003, data reflect revised population controls used in the
household survey.

NOTE: All state data currently reflect March 2002 benchmark levels. When more
recent benchmark data are introduced with the release of January 2004 estimates,
all seasonally adjusted data from January 1999 are subject to revision. Data also
reflect the conversion to the 2002 version of the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the assignment and tabulation of
economic data by industry, replacing the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) system. Due to differences in NAICS and SIC structures, NAICS-based data
by industry are not comparable with the SIC-based data.

unadjusted data from April 2002 are subject to revision. Area definitions are published
annually in the May issue of this publication. Data also reflect the conversion to the 2002
version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the
assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry, replacing the 1987 Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) system. Due to differences in NAICS and SIC structures,
NAICS-based data by industry are not comparable with the SIC-based data.

Natural resources and mining is combined with construction.
Data for 2003 are not directly comparable with data for previous years because of a
change in metropolitan area definitions.
P = preliminary.
NOTE: All state data currently reflect March 2002 benchmark levels. When more recent
benchmark data are introduced with the release of January 2004 estimates, all

Data for 2003 are not directly comparable with data for previous years because of a
change in metropolitan area definitions.
P = preliminary.
NOTE: All state data currently reflect March 2002 benchmark levels. When more recent
benchmark data are introduced with the release of January 2004 estimates, all
unadjusted data from April 2002 are subject to revision. Area definitions are published




annually in the May issue of this publication. Data also reflect the conversion to the 2002
version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the
assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry, replacing the 1987 Standard
Industrial Classification (SIC) system. Due to differences in NAICS and SIC structures,
NAICS-based data by industry are not comparable with the SIC-based data.

Beginning in 2003, persons who selected this race group only; persons who
selected more than one race group are not included. Prior to 2003, persons who

addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any
race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. All data have
been revised back to January 2000 to reflect the introduction of Census 2000
population controls into the household survey. Beginning in January 2003, data
also reflect an additional upward adjustment to population controls and other
changes to the survey. Seasonally adjusted data have been revised back to
January 1998 based on the experience through December 2002.

Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error

Introduction
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from two
major sources: (1) household interviews, and (2) reports
from employers.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from
the Current Population Survey (CPS), a sample survey of
the population 16 years of age and over. The survey is conducted each month by the U.S. Census Bureau for the
Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive data
on the labor force, the employed, and the unemployed, classified by such characteristics as age, sex, race, family relationship, marital status, occupation, and industry attachment.
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 60,000 households (beginning with July 2001 data)
located in 754 sample areas. These areas are chosen to represent all counties and independent cities in the United
States, 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 touchtone data entry, telephone interviews, and
mail questionnaires by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in
cooperation with State agencies. The Current Employment
Statistics (CES) survey is designed to provide industry
information on nonfarm wage and salary employment,
average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, and average weekly earnings for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The employment, hours, and earnings series are
based on payroll reports from a sample of over 300,000
establishments employing about 37 million nonfarm wage
and salary workers. The data relate to all workers, full or
part time, who receive pay during the payroll period that
includes the 12th of the month.

Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of variations in definitions and coverage, source of
information, methods of collection, and estimating procedures. Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasons for discrepancies. The major factors that have
a differential effect on the levels and trends of the two data
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 reference 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 nonfarm establishments.
Multiple jobholding. The household survey provides
information on the work status of the population without
duplication, because each person is classified as employed,
unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons
holding more than one job are counted only once. In the
figures based on establishment reports, 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 civilians who had jobs but were
not at work during the reference week—that is, were not
working but had jobs from which they were temporarily
absent because of illness, vacation, bad weather, childcare
problems, or labor-management disputes, 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, but those on leave without
pay for the entire payroll period are not.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HOUSEHOLD
AND ESTABLISHMENT SERIES
The household and establishment data complement one
another, each providing significant types of information that
the other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for example, are obtained only from the household
survey, whereas detailed industrial classifications are much
more reliably derived from establishment reports.




Hours of work
The household survey measures hours worked for all workers, whereas the payroll survey measures hours for
private production or nonsupervisory workers paid for by
167

compensation but are classified as employed, rather than
unemployed, in the household survey.

employers. In the household survey, all persons with a job
but not at work are excluded from the hours distributions
and the computations of average hours at work. In the payroll survey, production or nonsupervisory 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.

Agricultural employment estimates of the US. Department
of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are
the inclusion of persons under 16 in the National Agricultural Statistics Service series and the treatment of dual jobholders, who are counted more than once if they work on
more than one farm during the reporting period. There also
are wide differences in sampling techniques and data collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be readily
measured in terms of their impact on differences in the levels and trends of the two series.

Earnings
The household survey measures the earnings of wage and
salary workers in all occupations and industries in both the
private and public sectors. Data refer to the usual earnings
received from the worker's sole or primary job. Data from
the establishment survey generally refer to average earnings of production and related workers in mining and manufacturing, construction workers in construction, and
nonsupervisory employees in private service-producing
industries. For a comprehensive discussion of the various
earnings series available from the household and establishment surveys, see BLS Measures of Compensation, Bulletin 2239 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1986).

COMPARABILITY OF PAYROLL EMPLOYMENT
DATA WITH OTHER SERIES
Statistics on manufacturers and business, U.S. Census
Bureau. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ
from employment counts derived by the U.S. Census Bureau
from its censuses or sample surveys of manufacturing and
business establishments. The major reasons for 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 also are differences
in the scope of the industries covered—for example, the
Census of Business excludes professional services, public
utilities, and financial establishments, whereas these are
included in the BLS statistics.

COMPARABILITY OF HOUSEHOLD DATA
WITH OTHER SERIES
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from
the household survey includes all persons who did not have
a job during the reference week, were currently available
for a job, and were looking for work or were waiting to be
called back to a job from which they had been laid off,
whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared
by the Employment and Training Administration of the U.S.
Department of Labor, exclude, in addition to otherwise ineligible persons who do not file claims for benefits, 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 (some workers in agriculture, domestic
services, and religious organizations, and self-employed and
unpaid family workers).
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




County Business Patterns, U.S. Census Bureau. Data in
County Business Patterns (CBP) differ from BLS establishment statistics in the treatment of central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences also may arise
because of industrial classification and reporting practices.
In addition, CBP excludes interstate railroads and most of
government, and coverage is incomplete for some of the
nonprofit agencies.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Most nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the unemployment insurance programs. However,
some employees, such as those working in parochial schools
and churches, are not covered by unemployment insurance,
whereas they are included in the BLS establishment statistics.

Household Data
("A" tables, monthly; "D" tables, quarterly)

COLLECTION AND COVERAGE

Each employed person is counted only once, even if he or
she holds more than one job. For purposes of occupation and
industry classification, multiple jobholders are counted in
the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours
during the reference week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries who are temporarily in the United States but not living
on the premises of an embassy. Excluded are persons whose
only activity consisted of work around their own house (painting, repairing, or own home housework) or volunteer work
for religious, charitable, and other organizations.

Statistics on the employment status of the population and
related data are compiled by BLS using data from the Current Population Survey (CPS). This monthly survey of households is conducted for BLS by the U.S. Census Bureau
through a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the civilian noninstitutional population. Respondents
are interviewed to obtain information about the employment
status of each member of the household 16 years of age and
older. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the
calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, that includes the
12th day of the month. This is known as the "reference week."
Actual field interviewing is conducted in the following week,
referred to as the "survey week."
Each month, about 60,000 occupied units are eligible for
interview. Some 4,500 of these households are contacted but
interviews are not obtained because the occupants are not at
home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey that
ranges between 7 and 8 percent. In addition to the 60,000
occupied units, there are about 12,000 sample units in an
average month that are visited but found to be vacant or
otherwise not eligible for enumeration. Part of the sample is
changed each month. The rotation plan, as will be
explained later, provides 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 earlier.

Unemployed persons. All persons who had no employment
during the reference week, were available for work, except
for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find
employment sometime during the 4-week period ending with
the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled
to a job from which they had been laid off need not have
been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.
Duration of unemployment. This represents the length of
time (through the current reference week) that persons classified as unemployed had been looking for work. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the
number of full weeks they had been on layoff. Mean duration is the arithmetic average computed from single weeks
of unemployment; median duration is the midpoint of a
distribution of weeks of unemployment.
Reason for unemployment. Unemployment also is categorized according to the status of individuals at the time they
began to look for work. The reasons for unemployment are
divided into five major groups: (1) Job losers, comprising
(a) persons on temporary layoff, who have been given a date
to return to work or who expect to return within 6 months
(persons on layoff need not be looking for work to qualify as
unemployed), and (b) permanent job losers, whose employment ended involuntarily and who began looking for work;
(2) Job leavers, persons who quit or otherwise terminated
their employment voluntarily and immediately began looking for work; (3) Persons who completed temporary jobs,
who began looking for work after the jobs ended; (4) Reentrants, persons who previously worked but who were out of
the labor force prior to beginning their job search; and (5)
New entrants, persons who had never worked. Each of these
five categories of the unemployed can be expressed as a
proportion of the entire civilian labor force; the sum of the
four rates thus equals the unemployment rate for all civilian
workers. (For statistical presentation purposes, "job losers"
and "persons who completed temporary jobs" are combined
into a single category until seasonal adjustments can be developed for the separate categories.)

CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
The concepts and definitions underlying labor force data
have been modified, but not substantially altered, since the
inception of the survey in 1940; those in use as of January
1994 are as follows:
Civilian noninstitutional population. Included are persons
16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the
District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions (for
example, penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged),
and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces.
Employed persons. All persons who, during the reference
week, (a) did any work at all (at least 1 hour) as paid employees, worked in their own business, profession, or on their own
farm, or 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 vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity
leave, labor-management dispute, job training, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the
time off or were seeking other jobs.

Bureau occupational and industrial classification systems
which are derived from the 2000 Standard Occupational
Classification (SOC) and the 2002 North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). (See the following section
on historical comparability for a discussion of previous
classification systems used in the CPS.)
The class-of-worker breakdown assigns workers to the
following categories: Private and government wage and
salary workers, self-employed workers, and unpaid family
workers. Wage and salary workers receive wages, salary,
commissions, 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,
trade, or farm. Only the unincorporated self-employed are
included in the self-employed category in the classof-worker typology. Self-employed persons who respond
that their businesses are incorporated are included among
wage and salary workers because, technically, they are
paid employees of a corporation. 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 birth or
marriage.

Jobseekers. All unemployed persons who made specific
efforts to find a job sometime during the 4-week period preceding the survey week are classified as jobseekers. Jobseekers do not include persons classified as on temporary
layoff, who, although often looking for work, are not
required to do so to be classified as unemployed. Jobseekers
are grouped by the methods used to seek work. Only active
methods—which have the potential to result in a job offer
without further action on the part of the jobseeker—qualify
as job search. Examples include going to an employer
directly or to a public or private employment agency, seeking assistance from friends or relatives, placing or answering
ads, or using some other active method. Examples of the
"other" category include being on a union or professional
register, obtaining assistance from a community
organization, or waiting at a designated labor pickup point.
Passive methods, which do not qualify as job search, include
reading (as opposed to answering or placing) "help wanted"
ads and taking a job training course.
Labor force. This group comprises all persons classified as
employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria
described above.
Unemployment rate. The unemployment rate represents the
number unemployed as a percent of the labor force.

Multiple jobholders. These are employed persons who, during the reference week, either had two or more jobs as a wage
and salary worker, were self-employed and also held a wage
and salary job, or worked as an unpaid family worker and
also held a wage and salary job. Excluded are self-employed
persons with multiple businesses and persons with multiple
jobs as unpaid family workers.

Participation rate. This represents the proportion of the population that is in the labor force.
Employment-population ratio. This represents the proportion of the population that is employed.
Not in the laborforce. Included in this group are all persons
in the civilian noninstitutional population who are neither
employed nor unemployed. Information is collected on their
desire for and availability to take a job at the time of the CPS
interview, job search activity in the prior year, and reason for
not looking in the 4-week period prior to the survey week.
This group includes discouraged workers, defined as persons not in the labor force who want and are available for a
job and who have looked for work sometime in the past 12
months (or since the end of their last job if they held one
within the past 12 months), but who are not currently looking because they believe there are no jobs available or there
are none for which they would qualify.
Persons classified as not in the labor force who are in
the sample for either their fourth or eighth month are
asked additional questions relating to job history and
workseeking intentions. These latter data are available on a
quarterly basis.

Hours of work. These statistics relate to the actual number of
hours worked during the reference week. For example, persons who normally work 40 hours a week but were off on the
Columbus Day holiday would be reported as working 32
hours, even though they were paid for the holiday. For persons working in more than one job, the published figures
relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the
week; all the hours are credited to the major job. Unpublished data are available for the hours worked in each job
and for usual hours.
At work part time for economic reasons. Sometimes referred to as involuntary part time, this category refers to individuals who gave an economic reason for working 1 to 34
hours during the reference week. Economic reasons include
slack work or unfavorable business conditions, inability to
find full-time work, and seasonal declines in demand. Those
who usually work part time must also indicate that they want
and are available for full-time work to be classified as on part
time for economic reasons.

Occupation, industry, and class of worker. This information
for the employed applies to the job held in the reference
week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job
at which they worked the greatest number of hours. The
unemployed are classified according to their last job.
Beginning in 2003, the occupational and industrial
classification of CPS data is based on the 2002 Census




At work part time for noneconomic reasons. This group
includes those persons who usually work part time and were
at work 1 to 34 hours during the reference week for a noneconomic reason. Noneconomic reasons include, for example:
Illness or other medical limitations, childcare problems or
170

other family or personal obligations, school or training, retirement or Social Security limits on earnings, and being in a
job where full-time work is less than 35 hours. The group
also includes those who gave an economic reason for
usually working 1 to 34 hours but said they do not want
to work full time or are unavailable for such work.

discussion of changes beginning in 2003 that affected how
people are classified by Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.)
Usual weekly earnings. Data represent earnings before taxes
and other deductions, and include any overtime pay, commissions, or tips usually received (at the main job, in the case
of multiple jobholders). Earnings reported on a basis other
than weekly (for example, annual, monthly, hourly) are converted to weekly. The term "usual" is as perceived by the
respondent. If the respondent asks for a definition of usual,
interviewers are instructed to define the term as more than
half the weeks worked during the past 4 or 5 months. Data
refer to wage and salary workers (excluding all self-employed
persons regardless of whether their businesses were incorporated) who usually work full time on their sole or primary job.

Usual full- or part-time status. Data on persons "at work"
exclude persons who were temporarily absent from a job and
therefore classified in the zero-hours-worked category, "with
a job but not at work." These are persons who were absent
from their jobs for the entire week for such reasons as bad
weather, vacation, illness, or involvement in a labor dispute.
In order to differentiate a person's normal schedule from his
or her activity during the reference week, persons also are
classified according to their usual full- or part-time status. In
this context, full-time workers are those who usually worked
35 hours or more (at all jobs combined). This group will
include some individuals who worked less than 35 hours in
the reference week for either economic or noneconomic reasons and those who are temporarily absent from work. Similarly, part-time workers are those who usually work less than
35 hours per week (at all jobs), regardless of the number of
hours worked in the reference week. This may include some
individuals who actually worked more than 34 hours in the
reference week, as well as those who are temporarily absent
from work. The full-time labor force includes all employed
persons who usually work full time and unemployed persons who are either looking for full-time work or are on layoff from full-time jobs. The part-time laborforce consists of
employed persons who usually work part time and unemployed persons who are seeking or are on layoff from parttime jobs. Unemployment rates for full- and part-time workers are calculated using the concepts of the full- and parttime labor force.

Median earnings. These figures indicate the value that
divides the earnings distribution into two equal parts, one
part having values above the median and the other having
values below the median. The medians shown in this publication are calculated by linear interpolation of the $50 centered interval within which each median falls. Data expressed
in constant dollars are deflated by the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).
Never married; married, spouse present; and other marital
status. These are the terms used to define the marital status of
individuals at the time of interview. Married, spouse present,
applies to husband and wife if both were living in the same
household, even though one may be temporarily absent on
business, on vacation, on a visit, in a hospital, etc. Other marital
status applies to persons who are married, spouse absent; widowed; or divorced. Married, spouse absent relates to persons
who are separated due to marital problems, as well as to husbands and wives who are living apart because one or the other
was employed elsewhere or was on duty with the Armed Forces,
or for any other reasons.

White, black or African American, and Asian. These are
terms used to describe the race of persons. Persons in these
categories are those who selected that race group only.
Persons in the remaining race categories—American Indian
or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders,
and persons who selected more than one race category—are
included in the estimates of total employment and
unemployment but are not shown separately because the
number of survey respondents is too small to develop
estimates of sufficient quality for monthly publication. In
the enumeration process, race is determined by the
household respondent. (See the following section on
historical comparability for a discussion of changes
beginning in 2003 that affected how people are classified
by race.)

Household. A household consists of all persons—related family members and all unrelated persons—who occupy a housing unit and have no other usual address. A house, an apartment, a group of rooms, or a single room is regarded as a
housing unit when occupied or intended for occupancy as
separate living quarters. A householder is the person (or one
of the persons) in whose name the housing unit is owned or
rented. The term is never applied to either husbands or wives
in married-couple families but relates only to persons in
families maintained by either men or women without a spouse.
Family. A family is defined as a group of two or more persons
residing together who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption; all such persons are considered as members of one family. Families are classified either as married-couple families
or as families maintained by women or men without spouses.
A family maintained by a woman or a man is one in which the
householder is either single, widowed, divorced, or married,
spouse absent.

Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. This refers to persons who
identified themselves in the enumeration process as being
Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino. Persons whose ethnicity is
identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. (See
the following section on historical comparability for a

HISTORICAL COMPARABILITY

although they will not be available until June or July. Such
persons, until 1967, had been classified as unemployed but
since have been assigned to the "not in the labor force"
category.

Changes in concepts and methods
While current survey concepts and methods are very similar
to those introduced at the inception of the survey in 1940, a
number of changes have been made over the years to
improve the accuracy and usefulness of the data. Some of
the most important changes include:

c) Persons "with a job but not at work" because of strikes,
bad weather, etc., who volunteered that they were looking
for work were shifted from unemployed status to employed.
d) The lower age limit for official statistics on employment, unemployment, and other labor force concepts was
raised from 14 to 16 years. Historical data for most major
series have been revised to provide consistent information
based on the new minimum age limit.

• In 1945, the questionnaire was radically changed with
the introduction of four basic employment questions. Prior
to that time, the survey did not contain specific question
wording, but, rather, relied on a complicated scheme of
activity prioritization.

e) New questions were added to obtain additional information on persons not in the labor force, including those
referred to as "discouraged workers," defined as persons who
indicate that they want a job but are not currently looking
because they believe there are no jobs available or none for
which they would qualify.

• In 1953, the current 4-8-4 rotation system was adopted,
whereby households are interviewed for 4 consecutive
months, leave the sample for 8 months, and then return to the
sample for the same 4 months of the following year. Before
this system was introduced, households were interviewed
for 6 consecutive months and then replaced. The new system
provided some year-to-year overlap in the sample, thereby
improving measurement over time.

f) New "probing" questions were added to the questionnaire in order to increase the reliability of information on
hours of work, duration of unemployment, and self-employment.

• In 1955, the survey reference week was changed to the
calendar week including the 12th day of the month, for greater
consistency with the reference period used for other labor-related statistics. Previously, the calendar week containing the
8th day of the month had been used as the reference week.

• In 1994, major changes to the Current Population Survey (CPS) were introduced, which included a complete redesign of the questionnaire and the use of computer-assisted
interviewing for the entire survey. In addition, there were
revisions to some of the labor force concepts and definitions, including the implementation of some changes recommended in 1979 by the National Commission on Employment and Unemployment Statistics (NCEUS, also
known as the Levitan Commission). Some of the major
changes to the survey were:

• In 1957, the employment definition was modified slightly
as a result of a comprehensive interagency review of labor
force concepts and methods. Two relatively small groups of
persons classified as employed, under "with a job but not at
work," were assigned to different classifications. Persons on
layoff with definite instructions to return to work within 30
days of the layoff date, and persons volunteering that they
were waiting to start a new wage and salary job within 30 days
of interview, were, for the most part, reassigned to the unemployed classification. The only exception was the small subgroup in school during the reference week but waiting to start
new jobs, which was transferred to not in the labor force.

a) The introduction of a redesigned and automated questionnaire. The CPS questionnaire was totally redesigned in
order to obtain more accurate, comprehensive, and relevant
information, and to take advantage of state-of-the-art computer interviewing techniques.
b) The addition of two, more objective, criteria to the
definition of discouraged workers. Prior to 1994, to be classified as a discouraged worker, a person must have wanted a
job and been reported as not currently looking because of a
belief that no jobs were available or that there were none for
which he or she would qualify. Beginning in 1994, persons
classified as discouraged must also have looked for a job
within the past year (or since their last job, if they worked
during the year), and must have been available for work
during the reference week (a direct question on availability
was added in 1994; prior to 1994, availability had been
inferred from responses to other questions). These changes
were made because the NCEUS and others felt that the previous definition of discouraged workers was too subjective,
relying mainly on an individual's stated desire for a job and
not on prior testing of the labor market.

• In 1967, more substantive changes were made as a result of the recommendations of the President's Committee
to Appraise Employment and Unemployment Statistics (the
Gordon Committee). The principal improvements were as
follows:
a) A 4-week job search period and specific questions on
jobseeking activity were introduced. Previously, the questionnaire was ambiguous as to the period for jobseeking,
and there were no specific questions concerning job search
methods.
b) An availability test was introduced whereby a person
must be currently available for work in order to be classified
as unemployed. Previously, there was no such requirement.
This revision to the concept mainly affected students, who,
for example, may begin to look for summer jobs in the spring




172

• Beginning in 1972, information from the 1970 census
was introduced into the estimation procedures, increasing
the population by about 800,000; labor force and employment totals were raised by a little more than 300,000;
unemployment levels and rates were essentially unchanged.

c) Similarly, the identification of persons employed part
time for economic reasons (working less than 35 hours in the
reference week because of poor business conditions or because of an inability to find full-time work) was tightened by
adding two new criteria for persons who usually work part
time: They must want and be available for full-time work.
Previously, such information was inferred. (Persons who usually work full time but worked part time for an economic
reason during the reference week are assumed to meet these
criteria.)

• In March 1973, a subsequent population adjustment based
on the 1970 census was introduced. This adjustment, which
affected the white and black-and-other groups but had little
effect on totals, resulted in the reduction of nearly 300,000
in the white population and an increase of the same magnitude
in the black-and-other 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 blackand-other labor force rose by about 210,000. Unemployment
levels and rates were not significantly affected.

d) Specific questions were added about the expectation
of recall for persons who indicate that they are on layoff. To
be classified as "on temporary layoff," persons must expect
to be recalled to their jobs. Previously, the questionnaire did
not include explicit questions about the expectation of recall.

• Beginning in January 1974, the method used to prepare
independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population was modified to an "inflation-deflation" approach.
This change in the derivation of the estimates had its greatest impact on estimates of 20- to 24-year-old men—particularly those in the black-and-other population—but had little
effect on estimates of the total population 16 years and over.
Additional information on the adjustment procedure appears
in "CPS Population Controls Derived from Inflation-Deflation Method of Estimation," in the February 1974 issue of
this publication.

e) Persons volunteering that they were waiting to start a
new job within 30 days must have looked for work in the 4
weeks prior to the survey in order to be classified as unemployed. Previously, such persons did not have to meet the
job search requirement in order to be included among the
unemployed.
For additional information on changes in CPS concepts
and methods, see "The Current Population Survey: Design
and Methodology," Technical Paper 63RV (Washington, U.S.
Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2002),

the Current Population Survey Effective January 1994," in
the February 1994 issue of this publication.

• Effective in July 1975, as a result of the large inflow of
Vietnamese refugees to the United States, the total and blackand-other independent population controls for persons 16
years and over were adjusted upward by 76,000—30,000
men and 46,000 women. The addition of the refugees increased the black-and-other population by less than 1 percent in any age-sex group, with all of the changes being
confined to the "other" component of the population.

Noncomparability of labor force levels
In addition to the refinements in concepts, definitions, and
methods made over the years, other changes also have affected the comparability of the labor force data.

• Beginning in January 1978, the introduction of an
expansion in the sample and revisions in the estimation
procedures resulted in an increase of about 250,000 in the
civilian labor force and employment totals; unemployment
levels and rates were essentially unchanged. An explanation
of the procedural changes and an indication of the differences
appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey in
January 1978" in the February 1978 issue of this publication.

• Beginning in 1953, as a result of introducing data from
the 1950 census into the estimating procedures, population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force,
total employment, and agricultural employment were
increased by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures
for totals and for men; other categories were relatively
unaffected.

• Beginning in October 1978, the race of the individual
was determined by the household respondent for the
incoming rotation group households, rather than by the
interviewer as before. The purpose of this change was to
provide more accurate estimates of characteristics by race.
Thus, in October 1978, one-eighth of the sample households
had race determined by the household respondent and seveneighths of the sample households had race determined by
interviewer observation. It was not until January 1980 that
the entire sample had race determined by the household
respondent. The new procedure had no significant effect on
the estimates.

• Beginning in 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii
resulted in increases of about 500,000 in the population
and about 300,000 in the labor force. Four-fifths of the
labor force increase was in nonagricultural employment;
other labor force categories were not appreciably affected.
• Beginning in 1962, the introduction of data from the
1960 census reduced the population by about 50,000 and
labor force and employment by about 200,000; unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.

legal foreign-born residents for the same period. As a result,
the total civilian population and labor force estimates were
raised by nearly 400,000; civilian employment was increased
by about 350,000. The Hispanic-origin population and labor force estimates were raised by about 425,000 and
305,000, respectively, and Hispanic employment was increased by 270,000. Overall and subgroup unemployment
levels and rates were not significantly affected. Because of
the magnitude of the adjustments for Hispanics, data were revised back to January 1980 to the extent possible. An explanation of the changes and an indication of their effect on estimates of labor force characteristics appear in "Changes in the
Estimation Procedure in the Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1986" in the February 1986 issue of this publication.

• Beginning in January 1979, the first-stage ratio adjustment method was changed in the CPS estimation procedure.
Differences between the old and new procedures existed only
for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area estimates, not for
the total United States. The reasoning behind the change
and an indication of the differences appear in "Revisions in
the Current Population Survey in January 1979" in the February 1979 issue of this publication.
• Beginning in January 1982, the second-stage ratio adjustment method was changed. The rationale for the change
and an indication of its effect on national estimates of labor
force characteristics appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1982" in the February
1982 issue of this publication. In addition, current population estimates used in the second-stage estimation procedure were derived from information obtained from the 1980
census, rather than the 1970 census. This change caused
substantial increases in the total population and in the estimates of persons in all labor force categories. Rates for labor
force characteristics, however, remained virtually unchanged.
Some 30,000 labor force series were adjusted back to 1970
to avoid major breaks in series. The adjustment procedure
used also is described in the February 1982
article cited above. The revisions did not, however, smooth
out the breaks in series occurring between 1972 and 1979
(described above), and data users should consider them when
comparing estimates from different periods.

• Beginning in August 1989, the second-stage ratio estimation procedures were changed slightly to decrease the
chance of very small cells occurring and to be more consistent with published age, sex, race cells. This change had
virtually no effect on national estimates.
• Beginning in January 1994, 1990 census-based population controls, adjusted for the estimated undercount, were
introduced into the second-stage estimation procedure. This
change resulted in substantial increases in total population
and in all major labor force categories. Effective February
1996, these controls were introduced into the estimates for
1990-93. Under the new population controls, the civilian
noninstitutional population for 1990 increased by about 1.1
million, employment by about 880,000, and unemployment
by approximately 175,000. The overall unemployment rate
rose by about 0.1 percentage point. For further information,
see "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective
January 1994," and "Revisions in Household Survey Data
Effective February 1996" in the February 1994 and March
1996 issues, respectively, of this publication.
Additionally, for the period January through May 1994,
the composite estimation procedure was suspended for technical and logistical reasons.

• Beginning in January 1983, the first-stage ratio adjustment method was updated to incorporate data from the 1980
census. The rationale for the change and an indication of its
effect on national estimates for labor force characteristics
appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey
Beginning in January 1983" in the February 1983 issue of
this publication. There were only slight differences between
the old and new procedures in estimates of levels for the
various labor force characteristics and virtually no differences in estimates of participation rates.
• Beginning in January 1985, most of the steps of the
CPS estimation procedure—the noninterview adjustment,
the first- and second-stage ratio adjustments, and the composite estimator—were revised. These procedures are described in the Estimating Methods section. A description of
the changes and an indication of their effect on national
estimates of labor force characteristics appear in "Changes
in the Estimation Procedure in the Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1985" in the February 1985 issue
of this publication. Overall, the revisions had only a slight
effect on most estimates. The greatest impact was on estimates of persons of Hispanic origin. Major estimates were
revised back to January 1980.

• Beginning in January 1997, the population controls
used in the second-stage ratio adjustment method were revised to reflect updated information on the demographic characteristics of immigrants to, and emigrants from, the United
States. As a result, the civilian noninstitutional population
16 years and over was raised by about 470,000. The labor
force and employment levels were increased by about
320,000 and 290,000, respectively. The Hispanic-origin
population and labor force estimates were raised by about
450,000 and 250,000, respectively, and Hispanic employment was increased by 325,000. Overall and subgroup unemployment rates and other percentages of labor market participation were not affected. An explanation of the changes
and an indication of their effect on national labor force estimates appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective January 1997" in the February 1997 issue of
this publication.

• Beginning in January 1986, the population controls
used in the second-stage ratio adjustment method were revised to reflect an explicit estimate of the number of undocumented immigrants (largely Hispanic) since 1980 and
an improved estimate of the number of emigrants among




174

estimates from Census 2000 and the higher rates of
population growth since the census. At the start of the
revision period (January 2000), the new controls raised the
civilian noninstitutional population and the civilian labor
force by 2.6 and 1.6 million, respectively. By December
2002, the civilian population and labor force were 3.8 and
2.5 million, respectively, higher than originally estimated.
In addition to these revisions, the U.S. Census Bureau
introduced another large upward adjustment to the
population controls as part of its annual update of population estimates for 2003. The entire amount of this adjustment was added to the labor force data in January 2003
resulting in increases of 941,000 to the civilian
noninstitutional population and 614,000 to the civilian
labor force. The unemployment rate and other ratios were
not substantially affected by either of these population
control adjustments.

• Beginning in January 1998, new composite estimation
procedures and minor revisions in the population controls
were introduced into the household survey. The new composite estimation procedures simplify processing of the
monthly labor force data at BLS, allow users of the survey
microdata to more easily replicate the official estimates
released by BLS, and increase the reliability of the employment and labor force estimates. The new procedures also produce somewhat lower estimates of the civilian labor force
and employment and slightly higher estimates of unemployment. For example, based on 1997 annual average data, the
differences resulting from the use of old and new composite
weights were as follows: Civilian labor force (-229,000), total
employed (-256,000), and total unemployed (+27,000).
Unemployment rates were not significantly affected.
Also beginning in January 1998, the population controls
used in the survey were revised to reflect new estimates of legal
immigration to the United States and a change in the method
for projecting the emigration of foreign-born legal residents.
As a result, the Hispanic-origin population was raised by about
57,000; however, the total civilian noninstitutional population 16 years and over was essentially unchanged. More detailed information on these changes and their effect on the
estimates of labor force change and composition appear in
"Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective January 1998," in the February 1998 issue of this publication.
• Beginning in January 1999, the population controls used
in the survey were revised to reflect newly updated information
on immigration. As a result, the civilian noninstitutional
population 16 years and over was raised by about 310,000.
The impact of the changes varied for different
demographic groups. The civilian noninstitutional population
for men 16 years and over was lowered by about 185,000, while
that for women was increased by about 490,000. The Hispanicorigin population was lowered by about 165,000 while that of
persons of non-Hispanic origin was raised by about 470,000.
Overall labor force and employment levels were increased by
about 60,000 each, while the Hispanic labor force and
employment estimates were reduced by about 225,000 and
215,000, respectively. The changes had only a small impact on
overall and subgroup unemployment rates and other
percentages of labor market participation. An explanation of
the changes and an indication of their effect on national labor
force estimates appear in "Revisions in the Current Population
Survey Effective January 1999" in the February 1999 issue of
this publication.
• Beginning in January 2003, several major changes were
introduced into the CPS. These changes included:
a) Population controls that reflected the results of Census
2000 were introduced into the monthly CPS estimation
process. These new population controls substantially
increased the size of the civilian noninstitutional population
and the civilian labor force. Data from January 2000 through
December 2002 were revised to reflect the higher population




175

b) The modification of the questions on race and Hispanic
origin to comply with new standards for maintaining,
collecting, and presenting Federal data on race and ethnicity
for Federal statistical agencies. In accordance with the new
standards, the following changes were made to the CPS
questions: 1) Individuals were now asked whether they are
of Hispanic ethnicity before being asked about their race.
Prior to 2003, individuals were asked their ethnic origin
after they were asked about their race. 2) Individuals were
now asked directly if they are Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.
Previously, individuals were identified as Hispanic based
on their, or their ancestors', country of origin. 3) With respect
to race, the response category of Asian and Pacific Islanders
was split into two categories: a) Asian and b) Native
Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders. 4) Individuals were
allowed to choose more than one race category. Prior to
2003, individuals who considered themselves to belong to
more than one race were required to select a single primary
race. 5) The questions were reworded to indicate that
individuals could select more than one race category and to
convey more clearly that individuals should report their
own perception of what their race is. These changes had no
impact on the overall civilian noninstitutional population
and civilian labor force but did reduce the population and
labor force levels of whites, blacks or African Americans,
and Asians beginning in January 2003. For whites and
blacks, the differences resulted from the exclusion of
individuals who reported more than one race from those
groups. For Asians, the difference resulted from the same
restriction as well as the split of the old Asian and Pacific
Islander category into two separate categories. Analysis of
data from a special CPS supplement conducted in May 2002
indicated that these changes reduced the population and
labor force levels for whites by about 950,000 and 730,000,
respectively, and for blacks and African Americans by about
320,000 and 240,000, respectively, while having little or
no impact on their unemployment rates. For Asians, the
changes had the effect of reducing the their population by
about 1.1 million and their labor force by about 720,000,

farm equipment stores from "retail" to "wholesale" trade and
of postal service from "public administration" to "transportation," and some interchange between "professional and
related services" and "public administration." Additional information on the 1980 census occupational and industrial
classification systems appears in "Revisions in the Current
Population Survey Beginning in January 1983" in the February 1983 issue of this publication.
Beginning in January 1992, the occupational and industrial classification systems used in the 1990 census were introduced into the CPS. (These systems were based largely on the
1980 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) and 1987
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) systems, respectively.)
There were a few breaks in comparability between the 1980
and 1990 census-based systems, particularly within the "technical, sales, and administrative support" categories. The most
notable changes in industry classification were the shift of
several industries from "business services" to "professional
services" and the splitting of some industries into smaller,
more detailed categories. A number of industry titles were
changed as well, with no change in content.
Beginning in January 2003, the 2002 Census Bureau
occupational and industrial classification systems were
introduced into the CPS. These systems were derived from
the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) and
the 2002 North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS). The composition of detailed occupational and
industrial classifications in the new classification systems
was substantially changed from the previous systems in use
as was the structure for aggregating them into broad groups.
Consequently, the use of the new classification systems
created breaks in existing data series at all levels of
aggregation. Additional information on the 2002 Census
Bureau occupational and industrial classification systems
appears in "Revisions to the Current Population Survey
Effective in January 2003" in the February 2003 issue
of this publication available on the Internet at http://
www.bls.gov/cps/rvcpsO3.pdf.

but did not have a statistically significant effect on their
unemployment rate. The changes did not affect the size of
the Hispanic or Latino population and had no significant
impact on the size of their labor force, but did cause an
increase of about half a percentage point in their
unemployment rate.
c) Improvements were introduced to both the secondstage and composite weighting procedures. These changes
adapted the weighting procedures to the new race/ethnic
classification system and enhanced the stability over time
of national and State/substate labor force estimates for
demographic groups.
More detailed information on these changes and an
indication of their effect on national labor force estimates
appear in "Revisions to the Current Population Survey
Effective in January 2003" in the February 2003 issue of
this publication available on the Internet at http://
www.bls.gov/cps/rvcpsO3.pdf.
Changes in the occupational and industrial
classification systems
Beginning in 1971, the comparability of occupational
employment data was affected as a result of changes in the
occupational classification system for the 1970 census that
were introduced into the CPS. Comparability was further
affected in December 1971, when a question relating to
major activity or duties was added to the monthly CPS questionnaire in order to more precisely determine the occupational classification of individuals. As a result of these
changes, meaningful comparisons of occupational employment levels could not be made between 1971-72 and prior
years nor between those 2 years. Unemployment rates were
not significantly affected. For a further explanation of
the changes in the occupational classification system,
see"Revisions in Occupational Classifications for 1971"
and "Revisions in the Current Population Survey" in the
February 1971 and February 1972 issues, respectively, of this
publication.
Beginning in January 1983, the occupational and industrial
classification systems used in the 1980 census were introduced
into the CPS. The 1980 census occupational classification
system evolved from the Standard Occupational Classification
(SOC) system and was so radically different in concepts and
nomenclature from the 1970 system that comparisons of
historical data are not possible without major adjustments. For
example, the 1980 major group "sales occupations" is
substantially larger than the 1970 category "sales workers."
Major additions include "cashiers" from "clerical workers" and
some self-employed proprietors in retail trade establishments
from "managers and administrators, except farm."
The industrial classification system used in the 1980 census was based on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) system, as modified in 1977. The adoption of the new
system had much less of an adverse effect on historical comparability than did the new occupational system. The most
notable changes from the 1970 system were the transfer of




Sampling
Since the inception of the survey, there have been various
changes in the design of the CPS sample. The sample traditionally is redesigned and a new sample selected after each
decennial census. Also, the number of sample areas and the
number of sample persons are changed occasionally. Most
of these changes are made to improve the efficiency of the
sample design, increase the reliability of the sample estimates, or control cost.
Changes in this regard since 1960 are as follows: When
Alaska and Hawaii received statehood in 1959 and 1960,
respectively, three sample areas were added to the existing
sample to account for the population of these States. In
January 1978, a supplemental sample of 9,000 housing units,
selected in 24 States and the District of Columbia, was designed to provide more reliable annual average estimates for
States. In October 1978, a coverage improvement sample of
176

approximately 450 sample household units representing
237,000 occupied mobile homes and 600,000 new construction housing units was added. In January 1980, another
supplemental sample of 9,000 households selected in 32
States and the District of Columbia was added. A sample
reduction of about 6,000 units was implemented in May 1981.
In January 1982, the sample was expanded by 100 households to provide additional coverage in counties added to
the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMS As), which
were redefined in 1973. In January 1985, a new State-based
CPS sample was selected based on 1980 census
information. A sample reduction of about 4,000 households
was implemented in April 1988; the households were reinstated during the 8-month period, April-November 1989. A
redesigned CPS sample based on the 1990 decennial census
was selected for use during the 1990s. Households from this
new sample were phased into the CPS between April 1994
and July 1995. The July 1995 sample was the first monthly
sample based entirely on the 1990 census. For further information on the 1990 sample redesign, see "Redesign of the
Sample for the Current Population Survey" in the May 1994
issue of this publication.
The original 1990 census-based sample design included
about 66,000 housing units per month located in 792
selected geographic areas called primary sampling units
(PSUs). The sample initially was selected to meet specific
reliability criteria for the Nation, for each of the 50 States and
the District of Columbia, and for the substate areas of New
York City and the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan
area. In 1996, the original sample design reliability criteria
were modified to reduce costs. In July 2001, the CPS sample
was expanded to support the State Children's Health Insurance Program. For further information on the sample expansion, see "Expansion of the Current Population Survey
Sample Effective July 2001" in the August 2001 issue of this
publication. The current criteria, given below, are based on
the coefficient of variation (CV) of the unemployment level,
where the C V is defined as the standard error of the estimate
divided by the estimate, expressed as a percentage. These
CV controls assume a 6-percent unemployment rate to establish a consistent specification of sampling error.
The current sample design, introduced in July 2001, includes about 72,000 "assigned" housing units from 754
sample areas. Sufficient sample is allocated to maintain, at
most, a 1.9-percent CV on national monthly estimates of
unemployment level, assuming a 6-percent unemployment
rate. This translates into a change of 0.2 percentage point in
the unemployment rate being significant at a 90-percent
confidence level. For each of the 50 States and for the District of Columbia, the design maintains a CV of at most 8
percent on the annual average estimate of unemployment
level, assuming a 6-percent unemployment rate. About
60,000 housing units are required in order to meet the
national and State reliability criteria. Due to the national
reliability criterion, estimates for several large States are
substantially more reliable than the State design criterion




177

requires. Annual average unemployment estimates for California, Florida, New York, and Texas, for example, carry a
CV of less than 4 percent. In support of the State Children's
Health Insurance Program, about 12,000 additional housing units are allocated to the District of Columbia and 31
States. (These are generally the States with the smallest
samples after the 60,000 housing units are allocated to satisfy the national and State reliability criteria.)
In the first stage of sampling, the 754 sample areas are
chosen. In the second stage, ultimate sampling unit clusters composed of about four housing units each are selected.
Each month, about 72,000 housing units are assigned for
data collection, of which about 60,000 are occupied and
thus eligible for interview. The remainder are units found to
be destroyed, vacant, converted to nonresidential use, containing persons whose usual place of residence is elsewhere,
or ineligible for other reasons. Of the 60,000 housing units,
about 7.5 percent are not interviewed in a given month due
to temporary absence (vacation, etc.), other failures to make
contact after repeated attempts, inability of persons contacted to respond, unavailability for other reasons, and refusals to cooperate (about half of the noninterviews). Information is obtained each month for about 112,000 persons
16 years of age or older.
Selection of sample areas. The entire area of the United
States, consisting of 3,141 counties and independent cities, is divided into 2,007 sample units (PSUs). In most States,
a PSU consists of a county or a number of contiguous counties. In New England and Hawaii, minor civil divisions are
used instead of counties.
Metropolitan areas within a State are used as a basis for
forming PSUs. Outside of metropolitan areas, counties
normally are combined except when the geographic area of
an individual county is too large. Combining counties to
form PSUs provides greater heterogeneity; a typical PSU
includes urban and rural residents of both high and low
economic levels and encompasses, to the extent feasible,
diverse occupations and industries. Another important
consideration is that the PSU be sufficiently compact so
that, with a small sample spread throughout, it can be
efficiently canvassed without undue travel cost.
The 2,007 PSUs are grouped into strata within each State.
Then, one PSU is selected from each stratum with the probability of selection proportional to the population of the
PSU. Nationally, there are a total of 428 PSUs in strata by
themselves. These strata are self-representing and are generally the most populous PSUs in each State. The 326 remaining strata are formed by combining PSUs that are similar in such characteristics as unemployment, proportion of
housing units with three or more persons, number of persons employed in various industries, and average monthly
wages for various industries. The single PSU randomly selected from each of these strata is nonself-representing because it represents not only itself but the entire stratum. The
probability of selecting a particular PSU in a nonself-repre-

sen ting stratum is proportional to its 1990 population. For
example, within a stratum, the chance that a PSU with a
population of 50,000 would be selected for the sample is
twice that for a PSU having a population of 25,000.
Selection of sample households. Because the sample design is
State based, the sampling ratio differs by State and depends on
State population size as well as both national and State reliability requirements. The State sampling ratios range roughly
from 1 in every 100 households to 1 in every 3,000 households. The sampling ratio occasionally is modified slightly to
hold the size of the sample relatively constant given the overall growth of the population. The sampling ratio used within a
sample PSU depends on the probability of selection of the PSU
and the sampling ratio for the State. In a sample PSU with a
probability of selection of 1 in 10 and a State sampling ratio of
3,000, a within-PSU sampling ratio of 1 in 300 achieves the
desired ratio of 1 in 3,000 for the stratum.
The 1990 within-PSU sample design was developed using
block-level data from the 1990 census. (The 1990 census
was the first decennial census that produced data at the block
level for the entire country.) Normally, census blocks are
bounded by streets and other prominent physical features
such as rivers or railroad tracks. County, minor civil division, and census place limits also serve as block boundaries.
In cities, blocks can be bounded by four streets and be quite
small in land area. In rural areas, blocks can be several square
miles in size.
For the purpose of sample selection, census blocks were
grouped into three strata: Unit, group quarters, and area.
(Occasionally, units within a block were split between the
unit and group-quarters strata.) The unit stratum contained
regular housing units with addresses that were easy to locate
(for example, most single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums, apartment units, and mobile homes). The groupquarters stratum contained housing units in which residents
shared common facilities or received formal or authorized
care or custody. Unit and group-quarters blocks exist primarily in urban areas. The area stratum contains blocks with
addresses that are more difficult to locate. Area blocks exist
primarily in rural areas.
To reduce the variability of the survey estimates and to
ensure that the within-PSU sample would reflect the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of the PSU, blocks
within the unit, group-quarters, and area strata were sorted
using geographic and block-level data from the census. Examples of the census variables used for sorting include proportion of minority renter-occupied housing units, proportion of housing units with female householders, and proportion of owner-occupied housing units. The specific sorting
variables used differed by type of PSU (urban or rural) and
stratum.
Within each block, housing units were sorted geographically and grouped into clusters of approximately four units.
A systematic sample of these clusters was then selected independently from each stratum using the appropriate withinPSU sampling ratio. The geographic clustering of the sample




178

units reduces field representative travel costs. Prior to interviewing, special listing procedures are used to locate the particular sample addresses in the group-quarters and area blocks.
Units in the three strata described above all existed at the
time of the 1990 decennial census. Through a series of additional procedures, a sample of building permits is included
in the CPS to represent housing units built after the decennial census. Adding these newly built units keeps the sample
up-to-date and representative of the population. It also helps
to keep the sample size stable: Over the life of the sample,
the addition of newly built housing units compensates for
the loss of "old" units that may be abandoned, demolished,
or converted to nonresidential use.
Rotation of sample. Part of the sample is changed each month.
Each monthly sample is divided into eight representative
subsamples or rotation groups. A given rotation group is
interviewed for a total of 8 months, divided into two equal
periods. It is in the sample for 4 consecutive months, leaves
the sample during the following 8 months, and then returns
for another 4 consecutive months. In each monthly sample,
one of the eight rotation groups is in the first month of enumeration, another rotation group is in the second month, and
so on. Under this system, 75 percent of the sample is common from month to month, and 50 percent is common from
year to year for the same month. This procedure provides a
substantial amount of month-to-month and year-to-year overlap in the sample, thus providing better estimates of change
and reducing discontinuities in the data series without burdening any specific group of households with an unduly
long period of inquiry.

since 1947. A more detailed account of the history of the
CPS sample design appears in chapter 2 of "The Current
Population Survey: Design and Methodology," Technical

of Labor Statistics, March 2002), available on the Internet at

1990 census-based sample design appears in "Redesign of
the Sample for the Current Population Survey" in the May
1994 issue of this publication and in chapter 3 of Technical
Paper 63RV referenced above. A description of the sample
expansion in support of the State Children's Health Insurance Program appears in "Expansion of the Current Population Survey Sample Effective July 2001", in the August 2001
issue of this publication and in Appendix J, "Changes to the
Current Population Survey Sample in July 2001," of Technical Paper 63RV referenced above.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Under the estimating 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. The estimation procedure involves weighting the data
from each sample person by the inverse of the probability of
the person being in the sample. This gives a rough measure

of the number of actual persons that the sample person represents. Since 1985, most sample persons within the same State
have had the same probability of selection. Some selection
probabilities may differ within a State due to the sample
design or for operational reasons. Field subsampling, for
example, which is carried out when areas selected for the
sample are found to contain many more households than
expected, may cause probabilities of selection to differ for
some sample areas within a State. Through a series of estimation steps (outlined below), the selection probabilities are
adjusted for noninterviews and survey undercoverage; data
from previous months are incorporated into the estimates
through the composite estimation procedure.

teristics are closely correlated with labor force participation
and other principal measurements made from the sample, the
survey estimates can be substantially improved when
weighted appropriately by the known distribution of these
population characteristics. This is accomplished through
two stages of ratio adjustment, as follows:
a. First-stage ratio estimation. The purpose of the firststage ratio adjustment is to reduce the contribution to variance that results from selecting a sample of PSUs rather than
drawing sample households from every PSU in the Nation.
This adjustment is made to the CPS weights in two race cells:
Black and nonblack; it is applied only to PSUs that are not
self-representing and for those States that have a substantial
number of black households. The procedure corrects for differences that existed in each State cell at the time of the 1990
census between 1) the race distribution of the population in
sample PSUs and 2) the race distribution of all PSUs. (Both 1
and 2 exclude self-representing PSUs.)

/. Noninterview adjustment The weights for all interviewed
households are adjusted to account for occupied sample
households for which no information was obtained because
of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or unavailability of
the respondents for other reasons. This noninterview adjustment is made separately for clusters of similar sample areas
that are usually, but not necessarily, contained within a State.
Similarity of sample areas is based on Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) status and size. Within each cluster, there is
a further breakdown by residence. Each MSA cluster is split
by "central city" and "balance of the MSA." Each non-MSA
cluster is split by "urban" and "rural" residence categories.
The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies
from 7 to 8 percent, depending on weather, vacation, etc.

b. Second-stage ratio estimation. This procedure substantially reduces the variability of estimates and corrects, to
some extent, for CPS undercoverage. A national-coverage
step and a State-coverage step make preliminary corrections
for undercoverage. The CPS sample weights are then
adjusted to ensure that sample-based estimates of population match independent population controls. Three sets of
controls are used in different steps of the procedure:
1) State step: Civilian noninstitutional population
controls for 6 age-sex cells in the Los Angeles-Long Beach
metropolitan area, the balance of California, New York City,
the balance of New York State, each of the other 48 States,
and the District of Columbia.

2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, from
that of the population as a whole in such characteristics as
age, race, sex, and State of residence. Because these charac-

of the true sampling errors. They incorporate the
effect of some nonsampling errors in response and enumeration, but do not account for any systematic biases in the
data.

2) Ethnicity step: National civilian noninstitutional
population controls for 26 Hispanic and 26 non-Hispanic
age-sex cells.
3) Race step: National civilian noninstitutional
population controls for 34 white, 26 black, and 26 Asianplus-residual-race age-sex cells.

Nonsampling error. The full extent of nonsampling error is
unknown, but special studies have been conducted to quantify some sources of nonsampling error in the CPS. The
effect of nonsampling error is small on estimates of relative
change, such as month-to-month change; estimates of
monthly levels tend to be affected to a greater degree.
Nonsampling errors in surveys can be attributed to many
sources, for example, the inability to obtain information
about all persons in the sample; differences in the interpretation of questions; inability or unwillingness of respondents
to provide correct information; inability of respondents to
recall information; errors made in collecting and processing the data; errors made in estimating values for missing
data; and failure to represent all sample households and all
persons within sample households (undercoverage).
Nonsampling errors occurring in the interview phase of
the survey are studied by means of a reinterview program.
This program is used to estimate various sources of error, as
well as to evaluate and control the work of the interviewers.
A random sample of each interviewer's work is inspected
through reinterview at regular intervals. The results indicate, among other things, that the data published from the
CPS are subject to moderate systematic biases. A description of the CPS reinterview program may be found in Appendix G, "Reinterview: Design and Methodology," of "The
Current Population Survey: Design and Methodology," Technical Paper 63RV (Washington, U.S. Census Bureau and
Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2002), available on the
Internet at www.bls.census.gov/cps/tp/tp63.htm.
The effects of some components of nonsampling error in
the CPS data can be examined as a result of the rotation
plan used for the sample, because the level of the estimates
varies by rotation group. A description appears in Barbara
A. Bailar, "The Effects of Rotation Group Bias on Estimates
from Panel Surveys," Journal of the American Statistical
Association, March 1975, pp. 23-30.
Undercoverage in the CPS results from missed housing
units and missed persons within sample households. The
CPS covers about 92 percent of the decennial census population (adjusted for census undercount). It is known that the
CPS undercoverage varies with age, sex, race, and Hispanic
origin. Generally, undercoverage is larger for men than for
women and is larger for blacks, Hispanics, and other races
than for whites. Ratio adjustment to independent age-sexrace-origin population controls, as described previously,
partially corrects for the biases due to survey undercoverage.
However, biases exist in the estimates to the extent that missed
persons in missed households or missed persons in interviewed households have characteristics different from those
of interviewed persons in the same age-sex-race-origin group.
Additional information on nonsampling error in the CPS

The independent population controls are prepared by projecting forward the resident population as enumerated on
April 1, 2000. The projections are derived by updating
demographic census data with information from a variety of
other data sources that account for births, deaths, and net
migration. Estimated numbers of resident Armed Forces
personnel and institutionalized persons reduce the resident
population to the civilian noninstitutional population. Prior
to January 2003, the projections were based on earlier
censuses. See "Revisions to the Current Population Survey
Effective in January 2003," in the February 2003 issue of
this publication for a detailed discussion of changes to the
second-stage weighting and composite estimating procedures that were introduced in January 2003.
3. Composite estimation procedure. The last step in the
preparation of most CPS estimates makes use of a composite
estimation procedure. The composite estimate consists of a
weighted average of two factors: The two-stage ratio estimate based on the entire sample from the current month and
the composite estimate for the previous month, plus an estimate of the month-to-month change based on the six rotation groups common to both months. In addition, a bias
adjustment term is added to the weighted average to
account for relative bias associated with month-in-sample
estimates. This month-in-sample bias is exhibited by
unemployment estimates for persons in their first and fifth
months in the CPS being generally higher than estimates
obtained for the other months.
The composite estimate results in a reduction in the sampling error beyond that which is achieved after the two stages
of ratio adjustment. For some items, the reduction is substantial. The resultant gains in reliability are greatest in estimates
of month-to-month change, although gains usually are also
obtained for estimates of level in a given month, change from
year to year, and change over other intervals of time.
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.
Similarly, sums of percent distributions may not always equal
100 percent because of rounding. Differences, however, are
insignificant.
Reliability of the estimates
An estimate based on a sample survey has two types of error
sampling error and nonsampling error. The estimated standard errors provided in this publication are approximations

characteristics; the tables also provide approximate standard
errors for consecutive month-to-month changes in the
estimates. It is impractical to show approximate standard errors
for all CPS estimates in this publication, so table 1-D provides
parameters and factors that allow the user to calculate
approximate standard errors for a wide range of estimated
levels, rates, and percentages, and also changes over time.
The parameters and factors are used in formulas that are
commonly called generalized variance functions.
The approximate standard errors provided in this publication are based on the sample design and estimation procedures as of 1996, and reflect the population levels and sample
size as of that year. Standard errors for years prior to 1996
may be roughly approximated by applying these adjustments

Sampling error. When a sample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed, estimates differ from the true population values that they represent. This difference, or sampling error, occurs by chance, and its variability is measured by the standard error of the estimate. Sample estimates from a given survey design are unbiased when an
average of the estimates from all possible samples would
yield, hypothetically, the true population value. In this case,
the sample estimate and its standard error can be used to
construct approximate confidence intervals, or ranges of
values that include the true population value with known
probabilities. If the process of selecting a sample from the
population were repeated many times, an estimate made from
each sample, and a suitable estimate of its standard error
calculated for each sample, then:

These confidence interval statements are approximately
true for the CPS. Although the estimating methods used in
the CPS do not produce unbiased estimates, biases for most
estimates are believed to be small. Methods for estimating
standard errors reflect not only sampling errors but also some
kinds of nonsampling error. Although both the estimates
and the estimated standard errors depart from the theoretical
ideal, the departures are minor and have little impact on the
confidence interval statements. When clarity is needed, an
estimated confidence interval is specified to be "approximate," as is the estimated standard error used in the computation.
Tables 1-B through 1-D are provided so that approximate
standard errors of estimates can be easily obtained. Tables

standard errors for a wide range of estimated levels, proportions, and rates. Factors are provided to convert monthly
measures into approximate standard errors of estimates for
other periods (quarterly and yearly averages) and approximate standard errors for changes over time (consecutive
monthly changes, changes in consecutive quarterly and
yearly averages, and changes in monthly estimates 1 year
apart).
The standard errors for estimated changes in level from
one month to the next, one year to the next, etc., depend
more on the monthly levels for characteristics than on the
size of the changes. Likewise, the standard errors for changes
in rates (or percentages) depend more on the monthly rates
(or percentages) than on the size of the changes. Accordingly, the factors presented in table 1-D are applied to the
monthly standard error approximations for levels, percentages, or rates; the magnitudes of the changes do not come
into play. Factors are not given for estimated changes between nonconsecutive months (except for changes of monthly
estimates 1 year apart); however, the standard errors may be
assumed to be higher than the standard errors for consecutive monthly changes.

previous issues of this publication.)

errors by 0.96.

Standard errors of estimated levels using table 1-D. The
approximate standard error se(x) of JC, an estimated monthly
level, can be obtained using the formula below, where a and
b are the parameters from table 1-D associated with a particular characteristic.

3. For years prior to 1956, multiply the standard errors by
1.44.
Use of tables 1-B and 1-C. These tables provide a quick
reference for standard errors of major characteristics. Table
1-B gives approximate standard errors for estimates of
monthly levels and consecutive month-to-month changes
in levels for major employment status categories. Table 1-C
gives approximate standard errors for estimates of monthly
unemployment rates and consecutive month-to-month
changes in unemployment rates for some demographic,
occupational, and industrial categories. For characteristics
not given in tables 1-B and 1-C, refer to table 1-D.

Illustration. Assume that, in a given a month, there are an
estimated 3 million unemployed men. Obtain the appropriate a and b parameters from table 1-D (Total or white; Men;
Unemployed). Use the formula for se(x) to compute an approximate standard error on the estimate of x = 3,000,000.
a = -0.0000348

Illustration. Suppose that, for a given month, the number
of women age 20 years and over in the civilian labor force is
estimated to be 60,000,000. For this characteristic, the approximate standard error of 209,000 is given in table
1-B in the row "Women, 20 years and over; Civilian labor
force." To calculate an approximate 90-percent confidence
interval, multiply the standard error of 209,000 by the factor 1.645 to obtain 344,000. This number is subtracted
from and then added to 60,000,000 to obtain an approximate 90-percent confidence interval: 59,656,000 to
60,344,000. Concluding that the true civilian labor force
level lies within an interval calculated in this way would be
correct for roughly 90 percent of all possible samples that
could have been selected for the CPS.

For an approximate 90-percent confidence interval, compute 1.645 * 118,000 « 194,000. Subtract the number from
and add the number to 150,000 to obtain an interval
of -44,000 to 344,000. This is an approximate 90-percent
confidence interval for the true change, and since this interval includes zero, one cannot assert at this level of confidence that any real change has occurred in the unemployment level. The result also can be expressed by saying that
the apparent change of 150,000 is not significant at a 90percent confidence level.

For a given characteristic, the table 1-D factor is used in
the following formula, which also uses the a and b parameters from the same line of the table. A three-step procedure for using the formula is given. The/in the formula is
frequently called an adjustment factor, because it appears to
adjust a monthly standard error se(x). However, the x in the
formula is not a monthly level, but an average of several
monthly levels (see examples listed under Step 1, below).
se(x,

/ ) = / * se(x) = / * ^(ax2 +bx)

where x is an average of monthly levels over a designated
period.

Illustration of a standard error computation for quarterly
average level Suppose that an approximate standard error
is desired for a quarterly average of the black or Africian
American employment level. Suppose that the estimated
employment levels for the 3 months making up the quarter
are 14,900,000, 15,000,000, and 15,100,000.

Step 1. Average monthly levels appropriately in order to
obtain x. Levels for 3 months are averaged for quarterly
averages, and those for 12 months are averaged for yearly
averages. For changes in consecutive averages, average over
the 2 months, 2 quarters, or 2 years involved. For changes in
monthly estimates 1 year apart, average the 2 months involved.

Step 1. The average of the three monthly levels is x =
15,000,000.
Step 2. Apply the a and b parameters from table 1-D
(Black; Total; Civilian labor force, employed, and not in
labor force) to the average x, treating it like an estimate for
a single month.
a = -0.0001541 b = 3295.99

Step 2. Calculate an approximate standard error se(x),
treating the average x from step 1 as if it were an estimate of
level for a single month. Obtain parameters a and b from
table 1-D. (Note that, for some characteristics, an approximate standard error of level could instead be obtained from
table 1-B and used in place of se(x) in the formula.)

^(15,000,000)= ^0001541(15,000,000)* +3295.99(15,000,000) »122,000

Step 3. Obtain/= .86 from the same row of table 1-D in
the column "Quarterly averages," and multiply the factor
by the result from step 2.

Step 3. Determine the standard error se (x,j) on the average level or on the change in level. Multiply the result from
step 2 by the appropriate factor/. The a and b parameters
used in step 2 and the factor/used in this step come from
the same line in table 1-D.

^(15,000,000) = .86 *122,000 «105,000

Illustration of a standard error computation for consecutive month change in level. Continuing the previous example, suppose that in the next month the estimated number of unemployed men increases by 150,000, from
3,000,000 to 3,150,000.

Illustration of a standard error computation for change in
quarterly level. Continuing the example, suppose that, in
the next quarter, the estimated average employment level
for blacks is 15,400,000, based on monthly levels of
15,300,000, 15,400,000, and 15,500,000. This is an estimated increase of 400,000 over the previous quarter.

Step 1. The average of the two monthly levels is x =
3,075,000.

Step 1. The average of the two quarterly levels is x =
15,200,000.

Step 2. Apply the a and b parameters from table 1-D (Total
or white; Men; Unemployed) to the average*, treating it like
an estimate for a single month.

Step 2. Apply the a and b parameters from table 1-D
(Black; Total; Civilian labor force, employed, and not in
labor force) to the average*, treating it like an estimate for a
single month.

Step 3. Obtain/= 1.27 from the same row of table 1-D in
the column "Consecutive month-to-month change," and multiply the factor by the result from step 2.

Step 3. Obtain/= .78 from the same row of table 1-D in the

For an approximate 95-percent confidence interval, compute 1.96 * 94,000 « 184,000. Subtract the number from and
add the number to 400,000 to obtain an interval of 216,000
to 584,000. The interval excludes zero. Another way of
stating this is to observe that the estimated change of 400,000
clearly exceeds 1.96 standard errors, or 184,000. One can
conclude from these data that the change in
quarterly averages is significant at a 95-percent confidence
level.

Step 1. Appropriately average estimates of monthly rates
or percentages to obtain p, and also average estimates of
monthly levels to obtain y. Rates for 3 months are averaged
for quarterly averages, and those for 12 months are averaged
for yearly averages. For changes in consecutive averages,
average over the 2 months, 2 quarters, or 2 years
involved. For changes in monthly estimates 1 year apart,
average the 2 months involved.
Step 2. Calculate an approximate standard error
se (p, y), treating the averages p and y from step 1 as if they
were estimates for a single month. Obtain the b parameter
from the table 1-D row that describes the numerator of the
rate or percentage. (Note that, for some characteristics, an
approximate standard error could instead be obtained from
table 1-C and used in place of se (p, y) in the formula.)

Standard errors of estimated rates and percentages using
table I'D. As shown in the formula below, the approximate
standard error se(p,y) of an estimated rate or percentage p
depends, in part, upon the number of persons y in its base or
denominator. Generally, rates and percentages are not published unless the monthly base is greater than 75,000 persons, the quarterly average base is greater than 60,000 persons, or the yearly average base is greater than 35,000 persons. The b parameter is obtained from table 1-D. When the
base y and the numerator of p are from different categories
within the table, use the b parameter from table 1 -D relevant
to the numerator of the rate or percentage.

Step 3. Determine the standard error se (p,y,j) on the
average level or on the change in level. Multiply the result
from step 2 by the appropriate factor/. The b parameter used
in step 2 and the factor/used in this step come from the same
line in table 1-D.
Illustration of a standard error computation for consecutive month change in percentage. Continuing the previous
example, suppose that, in the next month, 6,300,000 women
20 to 24 years of age are reported employed, and that
2,150,000, or 34 percent, are part-time workers.

se(p,y)=l-p(l00-p)
Note that se(p,y) is in percent.
Illustration. For a given month, suppose y = 6,200,000
women 20 to 24 years of age are estimated to be employed.
Of this total, 2,000,000, or p = 32 percent, are classified as
part-time workers. Obtain the parameter b - 3005.06 from
the table 1-D row (Employment; Part-time workers) that is
relevant to the numerator of the percentage. Apply the formula to obtain:

Step 1. The month-to-month change is 2 percent = 34
percent - 32 percent. The average of the two monthly percentages of 32 percent and 34 percent is needed (p - 33
percent), as is the average of the two bases of 6,200,000 and
6,300,000 (y = 6,250,000).
Step 2. Apply the b = 3005.06 parameter from table 1-D
(Employment; Part-time workers) to the averaged p and y,
treating the averages like estimates for a single month.

For an approximate 95-percent confidence interval, compute 1.96 * 1.0 percent, and round the result to 2 percent.
Subtract this from and add this to the estimate of p = 32
percent to obtain an interval of 30 percent to 34 percent.

Step 3. Obtain/= .65 from the same row of table 1-D in the
column "Consecutive month-to-month change," and multiply the factor by the result from step 2.

Procedure for using table 1 -Dfactors for rates and percentages. Table 1-D factors can be used to compute approximate
standard errors on rates and percentages for other
periods or for changes over time. As for levels, there are
three steps in the procedure for using the formula.

se(2%) = .65 * 1.0 percent = .65 percent
For an approximate 95-percent confidence interval,
compute 1.96 * .65 percent, and round the result to 1.3 percent. Subtract this from and add this to the 2-percent estimate of change to obtain an interval of 0.7 percent to
3.3 percent. Because this interval excludes zero, it can be
concluded at a 95-percent confidence level that the change
is significant.

Establishment Data
("B" tables)
data are edited again by computer to detect processing and
reporting errors that may have been missed in the initial
State editing; the edited data are used to prepare national
estimates.

DATA COLLECTION
BLS cooperates with State Employment Security Agencies in
the Current Employment Statistics (CES) or establishment
survey to collect data each month on employment, hours, and
earnings from a sample of nonfarm establishments (including government). This sample includes over 300,000
reporting units. From these data, a large number of employment, hours, and earnings series in considerable industry and
geographic detail are prepared and published each month.
Historical statistics are available at http://www.bls.gov, the
BLS Internet site.
Each month, BLS and the State agencies collect data on
employment, payrolls, and paid hours from a sample of
establishments. Data are collected by touchtone data entry
(TDE) from most respondents. Under the TDE system, the
respondent uses a touchtone telephone to call a toll-free
number and activate an interview session. The questionnaire
resides on the computer in the form of prerecorded questions
that are read to the respondent. The respondent enters numeric
responses by pressing the touchtone phone buttons. Each
answer is read back for respondent verification.
For establishments that do not use TDE, data are collected
mostly by mail, FAX, or Electronic Data Interchange (EDI),
or on magnetic tape or computer diskette. Computer-assisted
telephone interviewing (CATI) is used for a growing number
of respondents (27 percent). BLS is also pilot testing reporting via the World Wide Web. Chart 1 shows the percentages
of the establishments using different data collection
methods.
All reports are edited by the State agencies each month to
make sure that the data are correctly reported and that they
are consistent with the data reported by the establishment in
earlier months. The State agencies forward the data to BLSWashington. They also use the data to develop State and area
estimates of employment, hours, and earnings. At BLS, the

CONCEPTS
Industrial classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 are classified into
industries on the basis of their principal product or activity,
as determined from information on annual sales volume. Since
January 1980, this information has been collected on a supplement to the quarterly unemployment insurance tax reports
filed by employers. 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 principal product or activity.
All data on employment, hours, and earnings for the Nation (beginning with August 1990 data) and for States and
areas (beginning with January 1990 data) are classified in
accordance with the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification
Manual (SIC), U.S. Office of Management and Budget.
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 that includes the 12th day of the
month. For Federal Government establishments, employment
figures represent the number of persons who occupied positions, either full- or part-time, on the last day of the calendar
month or the last day of the last full pay period of the calendar
month. Intermittent Federal Government workers are counted if
they performed any service during the month. Agencies are
required to consistently report employment data on either a
calendar month basis or pay period basis. The only exception
to this rule occurs at the end of thefiscalyear when all agencies
are required to report data as of September 30th.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid
volunteer or family workers, farmworkers, and domestic workers. Salaried officers of corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; military
personnel are excluded. Employees of the Central Intelligence
Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the National
Security Agency, also are excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sick
leave (for cases in which pay is received directly from the
firm), on paid holiday, or on paid vacation, or who work during a part of the pay period even though they are unemployed
or on strike during the rest of the period are counted as
employed. Not counted as employed are persons who are on
layoff, on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire
period, or who were hired but have not yet reported during
the period.

ing 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.

Indexes of diffusion of employment change. These indexes
measure the dispersion among industries of the change in
employment over the specified timespan. The overall indexes
are calculated from 353 seasonally adjusted employment
series (3-digit industries) covering all nonfarm payroll
employment in the private sector. The manufacturing diffusion indexes are based on 136 3-digit industries.
To derive the indexes, each component industry is assigned
a value of 0, 50, or 100 percent, depending on whether its
employment showed a decrease, no change, or an increase,
respectively, over the timespan. The average value (mean)
is then calculated, and this percent is the diffusion index
number.
The reference point for diffusion analysis is 50 percent,
the value indicating that the same number of component
industries had increased as had decreased. Index numbers
above 50 show that more industries had increasing employment and values below 50 indicate that more had decreasing
employment. The margin between the percent that increased
and the percent that decreased is equal to the difference
between the index and its complement—that is, 100 minus
the index. For example, an index of 65 percent means that
30 percent more industries had increasing employment than
had decreasing employment (65-(100-65) = 30). However,
for dispersion analysis, the distance of the index number
from the 50-percent reference point is the most significant
observation.
Although diffusion indexes commonly are interpreted as
showing the percent of components that increased over the
timespan, it should be remembered that the index reflects half
of the unchanged components as well. (This is the effect of
assigning a value of 50 percent to the unchanged components
when computing the index.)

Nonsupervisory employees. These are employees (not above
the working-supervisor level) such as office and clerical
workers, repairers, salespersons, operators, drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social workers, research
aides, teachers, drafters, photographers, beauticians,
musicians, restaurant workers, custodial workers, attendants,
line installers and repairers, laborers, janitors, guards,
and other employees at similar occupational levels whose
services are closely associated with those of the employees
listed.
Payroll. This refers to the payroll for fall- and part-time production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who
received pay for any part of the pay period that includes the
12th day of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind, such as those for old-age and unemployment
insurance, group insurance, withholding tax, bonds,
or union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, and
vacation, and for sick leave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses
(unless earned and paid regularly each pay period); other pay
not earned in the pay period reported (such as retroactive pay);
tips; and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in
kind are excluded. Employee benefits (such as health and other
types of insurance, contributions to retirement, and so forth,
paid by the employer) also are excluded.
Hours. These are the hours paid for during the pay period
that includes the 12th of the month for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers. Included are hours paid for
holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is
received directly from the firm.

Industry hours and earnings
Average hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and hours for production and related workers in
manufacturing and mining, construction workers in construction, and nonsupervisory employees in private service-producing industries.

Overtime hours. These are 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 that included 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.

Production and related workers. This category includes
working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspecting, receiving, storing, handling,
packing, warehousing, shipping, trucking, hauling, maintenance, repair, janitorial, guard services, product development,
auxiliary production for plant's own use (for example, power
plant), recordkeeping, and other services closely associated
with the above production operations.

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
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.

Construction workers. This group includes the following
employees in the construction division: Working supervisors, qualified craft workers, mechanics, apprentices, helpers, laborers, and so forth, engaged in new work, alterations,
demolition, repair, maintenance, and the like, whether work-

tion Board, and relate to all employees except executives,
officials, and staff assistants who received pay during the
month. 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. Multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly
earnings yields average weekly earnings.

For basic industries, the hours aggregates are the product
of average weekly hours and production worker or
nonsupervisory worker employment. At all higher levels of
industry aggregation, hours aggregates are the sum of the
component aggregates.
Average overtime hours. Overtime hours represent that portion of average weekly hours that exceeded regular hours and
for which overtime premiums were paid. If an employee were
to work on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total
compensation his or her holiday pay plus straight-time pay
for hours worked that day, no overtime hours would be reported.
Because overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in
the same direction from month to month. Such factors as
work stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have
the same influence on overtime hours as on average hours.
Diverse trends at the industry group level also may be caused
by a marked change in hours for a component industry in
which little or no overtime was worked in both the previous
and current months.

Average weekly earnings. These estimates are derived
by multiplying average weekly hours estimates by average
hourly earnings estimates. Therefore, weekly earnings
are affected not only by changes in average hourly earnings
but also by changes in the length of the workweek. Monthly
variations in such factors as the proportion of part-time
workers, stoppages for varying reasons, 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 average weekly earnings can be
affected by structural changes in the makeup of the workforce.
For example, persistent long-term increases in the proportion
of part-time workers in retail trade and many of the
services industries have reduced average workweeks in these
industries and have affected the average weekly earnings
series.

Average hourly earnings. Average hourly earnings are on a
"gross" basis. They reflect 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. They also reflect shifts in the number of employees between relatively
high-paid and low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual establishments. 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;
rates are the amount stipulated for a given unit of work or
time. The earnings series do not measure the level of total
labor costs on the part of the employer because 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 production worker, construction worker, or nonsupervisory employee
definitions.

Real earnings. These earnings are in constant dollars and
are calculated from the earnings averages for the current
month using a deflator derived from the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W).
The reference year for these series is 1982.
ESTIMATING METHODS
[NOTE: This section and the next apply to the services
and government industry divisions. (See the section on
CES sample redesign for information on other industries.)]

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 hours
and one-half of total overtime hours. No adjustments are
made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday
pay, late-shift premiums, and overtime rates other than time
and one-half.

The Current Employment Statistics (CES) or establishment
survey estimates of employment are generated through an
annual benchmark and monthly sample link procedure.
Annual universe counts or benchmark levels are generated
primarily from administrative records on employees covered
by unemployment insurance (UI) tax laws. These annual
benchmarks, established for March of each year, are projected
forward for each subsequent month based on the trend of the
sample employment, using an estimation procedure called
the link relative. Benchmarks and sample link relatives are
computed for each basic estimating cell and summed to
create aggregate-level employment estimates.

Stratification. The sample is stratified into basic estimating
cells for purposes of computing national employment, hours,
and earnings estimates. Cells are defined primarily by detailed industry, and secondarily by size, for a majority of cells.
In a few industries, mostly within the construction
division, geographic stratification also is used. Industry classification is in accordance with the 7957 Standard Industrial
Classification Manual (SIC); most estimation cells are
defined at the 4-digit SIC level.
This detailed stratification pattern allows for the production and publication of estimates in considerable industry
detail. Sub-industry stratification by size is important because major statistics that the survey measures, particularly
employment change and average earnings, often vary significantly between establishments of different size. Stratification
reduces the variance of the published industry-level
estimates.

totals for March of each year with the Ul-based population
counts for March. These population counts are much less
timely than sample-based estimates; however, they provide
an annual point-in-time census for employment. For national
series, the March sample-based estimates only are replaced
with UI counts. For State and metropolitan area series, all
available months of UI data are used to replace sample-based
estimates. State and area series are based on smaller samples
and are therefore more vulnerable to both sampling and
nonsampling errors than national estimates.
Population counts are derived from the administrative file
of employees covered by UI. All employers covered by UI
laws are required to report employment and wage information to the appropriate State Employment Security Agency
four times a year. Approximately 98 percent of private employment within the scope of the establishment survey is
covered by UI. A benchmark for the remaining 2 percent is
constructed from alternate sources, primarily records from
the Railroad Retirement Board and County Business Patterns.
The full benchmark developed for March replaces the March
sample-based estimate for each basic cell. The monthly
sample-based estimates for the year preceding and the year
following the benchmark are also then subject to revision.
Monthly estimates for the year preceding the March benchmark are readjusted using a "wedge-back" procedure. The
difference between the final benchmark level and the previously published March sample estimate is calculated and
spread back across the previous 11 months. The wedge is
linear; eleven-twelfths of the March difference is added to
the February estimate, ten-twelfths to the January estimate,
and so on, back to the previous April estimate, which receives
one-twelfth of the March difference. This assumes that the
total estimation error since the last benchmark accumulated
at a steady rate throughout the current benchmark year.
Estimates for the 11 months following the March benchmark also are recalculated each year. These post-benchmark
estimates reflect the application of sample-based monthly
changes to new benchmark levels for March, and the recomputation of bias adjustment factors for each month. Bias
factors are updated to take into account the most recent experience of the estimates generated by the monthly sample versus the full universe counts derived from the UI.
Following the revision of basic employment estimates, all
other derivative series (such as number of production workers and average hourly earnings) also are recalculated. New
seasonal adjustment factors are calculated and all data series
for the previous 5 years are re-seasonally adjusted before full
publication of all revised data in June of each year.

Link relative technique. A ratio of the previous to the current
month's employment is computedfroma sample of establishments
reporting for both months—this ratio is called a "link relative."
For each basic cell, a link relative is computed and applied to the
previous month's employment estimate to derive the current
month's estimate. Thus, a March benchmark is moved forward
to the next March benchmark through application of monthly
link relatives. Basic cell estimates created through the link relative
technique are aggregated to form published industry level
estimates for employment, as described in table 2-A. Basic
estimation and aggregation methods for the hours and earnings
data also are shown in table 2-A.
Model-based adjustment For the services division, bias
adjustment factors are computed at the 3-digit SIC level and
applied each month at the basic cell level, as part of the
standard estimation procedures. The main purpose of bias
adjustment is to reduce a primary source of nonsampling error
in the survey—the inability to capture, on a timely basis,
employment generated by new firm births. There is a lag of
several months between an establishment's opening for
business and its appearing on the UI universe frame and being
available for sampling. Nonsampling methods must be used
to capture the portion of employment growth accounted for
by new firms; otherwise, substantial underestimation of total
employment levels would occur. Formal bias adjustment
procedures have been used in the establishment survey since
the late 1960s. Prior to the 1983 benchmark, bias adjustments
were derived from a simple mean error model, which averaged
undercount errors for the previous 3 years to arrive at bias
projections for the coming year. The undercount errors were
measured as the difference between sample-based estimate
results and benchmark levels.
This procedure eventually proved inadequate during periods of rapidly changing employment trends, and the bias adjustment methodology was revised. Research done in the
early 1980s indicated that bias requirements were strongly
correlated with current employment growth or decline. Based

Monthly estimation
Estimates are derived from a sample of over 300,000 business
establishments nationwide. A current month's estimate is
derived as the product of the previous month's estimate and
a sample link relative for the current month. A bias adjustment factor is then applied to this result, primarily to account
for new business births during the month.

The estimates are computed by multiplying the above product by
bias adjustment factors that compensate for the underrepresentation
of newly formed enterprises and other sources of bias in the sample.
2
The estimates are computed by applying a unique monthly birth/
death model component that estimates the residual net birth/death
employment not accounted for by the sample.
3
The sample production-worker ratio, women-worker ratio, average weekly hours, average overtime hours, and average hourly earnings are modified by a wedging technique designed to compensate
for changes in the sample arising mainly from the voluntary characteristics of the reporting. The wedging procedure accepts the advantage of continuity from the use of the matched sample and, at the

same time, tapers or wedges the estimate toward the level of the
latest sample average.
4
A weighted link relative estimator is used to move average weekly
hours, average overtime hours, and average hourly earnings forward from the point at which the probability-based sample estimates
are introduced. For average weekly hours, this ratio is weighted hours
divided by weighted production/nonsupervisory workers. For average hourly earnings, this ratio is weighted payroll divided by weighted
hours. This will effectively preserve the true month-to-month sample
movement if the new probability sample has different levels than the
current sample.

on this research, a revised method was developed that uses
the sample data on employment growth over the most recent
two quarters, and a regression-derived coefficient for the significance of that change, to adjust the mean error model results. This change in methodology provided a more cyclically sensitive bias model. The regression-adjusted mean error
model has been used for the production of national estimates
since 1983.
The current model still has limitations on its ability to react to changing economic conditions or changing error structure relationships between the sample-based estimates and
the UI universe counts. A principal limitation is the inability
to incorporate UI universe counts as they become available
on an ongoing basis, with a 6- to 9-month lag from the reference period. For this reason, the current quarterly outputs
from the model are subject to intervention analysis and adjustments can be made to model results prior to the establishment of final bias levels for a quarter. Review for purposes of
intervention analysis is done primarily in terms of detection
of outlier (abnormally high or low) values, and by comparison of CES sample and bias trends with the most recent quarterly observations of UI universe counts.
Although the primary function of bias adjustment is to
account for employment resulting from new business formations, it also adjusts for other elements of nonsampling
error in the survey, because the primary input to the
modeling procedure is total estimation error. Significant
among these nonsampling error sources is a business death
bias. When a sampled firm closes down, most often it simply
does not respond to the survey that month, rather than
reporting zero employment. Follow-up with nonrespondents
may reveal an out-of-business firm, but this information
often is received too late to incorporate into monthly
estimates, and the firm is simply treated as a nonrespondent
for that month.

Because the bias adjustments incorporated into the estimates represent a composite of a birth bias, a death bias, and
a number of other differences between the sample-based
estimates and the population counts, the monthly bias adjustment levels have no specific economic meaning in and of
themselves.
Table 2-B summarizes the total model-based adjustments
for the past decade. The table displays the average monthly
"model adjustment added" and the average monthly "model
adjustment required" with the benchmark revisions for each
year. Model adjustment added shows the average amount
of model adjustment that was added each month over the
course of an interbenchmark period. Prior to 2000, the model
adjustment was identical to the bias adjustment described
above. Beginning with 2000, the model adjustment varies
across major industry divisions, because of the phased-in
implementation of the CES sample redesign. As divisions
made the transition to the new methodology, a model-based
estimate for the net employment change of business births
and deaths replaced bias adjustment.
Model adjustment required is computed retrospectively, after
the March benchmark for a given year is known. Adjustment
required figures are calculated by taking the difference between
a March estimate derived purely from the sample (that is, a
series calculated without bias adjustment) and the March
benchmark. Dividing this figure by 12 gives the average monthly
model adjustment required figure. The adjustment required is
thus defined as the amount of model adjustment that would have
achieved a zero benchmark error. The difference between the
total model adjustment required and the total model adjustment
added is then, by definition, approximately the benchmark
revision amount, for any given year. Also provided in table 2-B
are the March-to-March changes. As discussed above, the overthe-year changes indicate correlation with the model adjustment
added and model adjustment required figures.

THE SAMPLE

Under the establishment survey design, large establishments
fall into certainty strata for sample selection. The size of the
sample for the various industries is determined empirically
based on experience and cost considerations. For example,
in a manufacturing industry with a high proportion of total
employment concentrated in a small number of establishments, a larger percent 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 a relatively few chosen from among the smaller establishments. For an industry in which a large proportion of
total employment is accounted for by small establishments,
the sample design again calls for inclusion of all large establishments but also for a more substantial number of smaller
ones. Many industries in the trade and services divisions fall
into this category. To keep the sample to a size that can be
handled with available resources, these industries are sampled
with a smaller proportion of total universe coverage than is
the case for most manufacturing industries.

Design
The emphasis in the establishment survey is on producing
timely data at minimum cost. Therefore, the primary goal of
its design is to sample a large enough segment of the universe
to provide reliable estimates that can be published both
promptly and regularly. The present sample allows BLS to
produce preliminary total nonfarm employment estimates for
each month, including some limited industry detail, within 3
weeks after the reference period, and data in considerably
more detail with an additional 1-month lag.
The CES survey, which was begun over 50 years ago, predates the introduction of probability sampling methods and
has operated as a quota sample since its inception. Quota
sampling is different from probability sampling in that it requires a fixed number of units, but they need not have been
drawn in a random selection process.
The sampling plan used in the establishment survey is a
form of sampling with probability proportionate to size,
known as "sampling proportionate to average size of establishment." This design results in an optimum allocation
of the sample among strata because sampling variance is
proportional to the average size of establishments. The
universe of establishment employment is highly skewed, with
a large percentage of total employment concentrated in
relatively few establishments. Because variance on a population total estimate is a function of percentage universe coverage achieved by the sample, it is efficient to sample larger
establishments at a higher rate than smaller establishments,
assuming the cost per sample unit is fairly constant across
size classes.

Coverage
Table 2-C shows the latest benchmark employment levels and
the approximate proportion of total universe employment
coverage at the total nonfarm and major industry division
levels. The coverage for individual industries within the
divisions may vary from the proportions shown.
Reliability
The establishment survey, like other sample surveys, is subject to two types of error—sampling and nonsampling. The
magnitude of sampling error, or variance, is directly related to
the size of the sample and the percentage of universe cover-

both data series; however, the sample-based estimates are
believed to more accurately capture true month-to-month
economic movements. The ES-202 data are susceptible to
administrative effects between quarters, as the UI tax records
which serve as the ES-202 source are filed quarterly. The
CES data are susceptible to sampling error and possible
sample design biases. At the State and metropolitan area
levels, these CES error sources are more serious as the sample
sizes are much smaller than at the national level, thus the
State and area benchmarking process includes replacement
of all months of estimates with ES-202 employment counts.
Historically, the benchmark revision has been very small
for total nonfarm employment. Over the past decade, percentage benchmark error has averaged 0.3 percent, with absolute revisions ranging from less than 0.05 percent to 0.7
percent. Table 2-D shows the most current benchmark revisions, along with 10-year mean revisions and mean absolute
revisions for major industries. Mean revisions give an indication of bias in the estimates; unbiased estimates have a mean
revision close to zero, as over- and under-estimations cancel
out over time. Mean absolute revisions give an overall indication of the accuracy of the estimates; the larger the value,
the further the estimate was from the final benchmark level.

age achieved by the sample. The establishment survey sample
covers nearly one-third of total universe employment; this
yields a very small variance on the total nonfarm estimates.
Measurements of error associated with sample
estimates are provided in tables 2-D and 2-E.
Benchmark revision as a measure of survey error. The sum
of sampling and nonsampling error can be considered total
survey error. Unlike most sample surveys, for which only
sampling error can be estimated, the CES yields an annual
approximation of total error, on a lagged basis, because of
the availability of the independently derived universe data.
While the benchmark error is used as a measure of total error
for the CES survey estimate, it actually represents the difference between two independent estimates derived from separate survey processes (specifically, the CES sample process
and the UI universe process), and thus reflects the errors
present in each program. While ES-202 employment counts
are available for all months, only the March ES-202 employment levels are used in CES national benchmarking because
there are differences in monthly seasonal patterns between
CES sample-based series and the ES-202 universe counts.
These differences are likely attributable to error sources in
Table 2-C. Employment benchmarks and approximate coverage of BLS employment and payrolls sample, March 2001

Revisions between preliminary and final data. First preliminary estimates of employment, hours, and earnings, based
on less than the total sample, are published immediately following the reference month. Final revised sample-based estimates are published 2 months later, when nearly all the reports in the sample have been received. Table 2-E presents
the root-mean-square error, the mean percent, and the mean
absolute percent revision that may be expected between the
preliminary and final employment estimates.
Revisions of preliminary hours and earnings estimates are
normally not greater than 0.1 hour for weekly hours and 1
cent for hourly earnings at the total private nonfarm level,
and may be slightly larger for the more detailed industry
groupings.

CES sample redesign
In June 1995, BLS announced plans for a comprehensive
sample redesign of its monthly payroll survey. The initial research phase for the CES sample redesign was completed in
1997, and BLS launched a production test of the new sample
design at that time. The production test phase concluded in
June 2000, when the first estimates from the new design, for
the wholesale trade industry, were published with the 1999
benchmark revisions. Mining, construction, and manufacturing industries were published under the new design for
the first time in June 2001, with the 2000 benchmark revisions, and in June 2002, the transportation and public utilities; retail trade; and finance, insurance, and real estate industries were also brought into the new sample design, with
the 2001 benchmark revisions. The services industry will
have its first published estimates under the redesigned sample
in the next benchmark release, in June 2003.

Original sample design limitations. The original CES survey is based on a quota sample, the inception of which, over
50 years ago, predated the introduction of probability sampling as the internationally recognized standard for sample
surveys. Quota samples are known to be at risk for potentially significant biases. Introducing a probability-based
sample for CES ensures a proper representation of the universe of nonfarm business establishments through randomized selection techniques and the regular rotation of sample
members.
In addition, the CES sample redesign addresses a second
critical limitation of the current CES sample, which is a lack
of timely sample-based representation of employment from
new business births. Procedures have been developed for
regular sample updates that will ensure better representation
of new units in the CES sample. Time series modeling techniques are being used to estimate the residual portion of birth
employment not accounted for through the improved
sampling techniques. Introduction of a probability-based
sample for the CES survey allows for the publication of sampling errors and confidence intervals, standard survey accuracy measures not directly applicable to the current
nonprobability design. Overall accuracy of the survey
employment estimates, however, is still best measured by the
magnitude of annual benchmark revisions, as they encompass the total estimation error associated with the CES
employment series.

was effective with the June 2002 implementation of the
March 2001 benchmark. Even with the sample size reduction,
the CES program can support the publication of considerable
industry and geographic detail within a State, and provide
highly reliable national CES estimates at the total nonfarm
and detailed industry levels.
Frame and sample selection. The Longitudinal Data Base
(LDB) is the universe from which BLS draws the CES sample.
TheLDB contains data on approximately 7.5 million U.S. business establishments, representing nearly all nonfarm elements
of the U.S. economy. The ES-202 program collects these data
from employers, on a quarterly basis, in cooperation with
State Employment Security Agencies (SES As). The LDB contains employment and wage information from employers, as
well as name, address, and location information. It also contains identification information such as Unemployment Insurance (UI) Account Number, Reporting Unit Number, and
LDB Number.
The LDB consists of all employers covered under the
Unemployment Insurance Tax System. That system covers
98 percent of all employers in the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. There are a few
sections of the economy that are not covered, including the
self-employed, small family businesses, railroads, charitable
organizations, small agricultural employers, and elected
officials. Data for employers generally are reported at the
worksite level. Employers who have multiple establishments
within a State usually report data for each individual
establishment. The LDB tracks establishments over time and
links them from quarter to quarter.
Permanent Random Numbers (PRNs) have been assigned
to all UI accounts on the sampling frame. As new units appear
on the frame, random numbers are assigned to those units as
well. As records are linked across time, the PRN is carried
forward in the linkage.
The probability sample is stratified by State, industry, and
size. Stratification groups population members together for
the purpose of sample allocation and selection. The strata, or
groups, are composed of homogeneous units. With 11 industries and 8 size classes, there are 88 total allocation cells per
State. The sampling rate for each stratum is determined through
a method known as optimum allocation. Optimum allocation
minimizes variance at a fixed cost or minimizes cost for a fixed
variance. Under the CES probability design, a fixed number of
sample units for each State is distributed across the allocation strata in such a way as to minimize the overall variance,
or sampling error, of the total State employment level. The
number of sample units in the CES probability sample is fixed
to the approximate size of the existing nonprobability CES
survey. The optimum allocation formula will place more sample
in cells for which data cost less to collect, cells that have
more units, and cells that have a larger variance. When compared with the quota sample, there are fewer units selected in
manufacturing and more units selected in services.

The new CES sample design. The new design is a stratified,
simple random sample of worksites, clustered by UI account
number. The UI account number is a major identifier on the
BLS longitudinal database of employer records, which serves
as both the sampling frame and the benchmark source for the
CES employment estimates. The sample strata, or subpopulations, are defined by State, industry, and employment size,
yielding a State-based design. The sampling rates for each
stratum are determined through a method known as optimum
allocation, which distributes a fixed number of sample units
across a set of strata to minimize the overall variance, or sampling error, on the primary estimate of interest. The total nonfarm employment level is the primary estimate of interest,
and the new design gives top priority to measuring it as precisely as possible, or, in other words, minimizing the statistical error around the statewide total nonfarm employment
estimates.
For the CES redesign, initially the number of sample units
drawn was fixed to the approximate size of the existing CES
sample for each state; the sample size assumed to be
supportable by current program resources. However, after a
few years of experience, BLS recognized that the sample size
needed to be reduced in order to support the more costly
data collection and follow-up techniques inherent in a
probability-based design. Therefore, the overall sample size
was reduced by approximately 20 percent with the March
2000 sample update; the smaller redesign sample size

swap procedure was implemented, approximately 35,000 new
UI accounts were selected each year during the annual update. With the swap procedure, this number is reduced by as
much as 40 percent, or 15,000 units.
Due to the dynamic economy, there is a constant cycle of
business births and deaths. A semiannual update is performed
during the third quarter of each year. This update
selects units from the population of births and other units not
previously eligible for selection, and includes them as part of
the sample. Updated location, contact, and administrative information is provided for all establishments that were
selected in the annual sample selection.

During the first quarter of each year, a new sample is drawn
from the LDB. Annual sample selection helps keep the CES
survey current with respect to employment from business
births and business deaths. In addition, the updated universe files provide the most recent information on industry,
size, and metropolitan area designation.
After all out-of-scope records are removed, the sampling
frame is sorted into allocation cells. Within each allocation
cell, units are sorted by MSA and by the size of the MSA,
which is the number of UI accounts in that MSA. As the
sampling rate is uniform across the entire allocation cell, implicit stratification by MSA ensures that a proportional number of units are sampled from each MSA. Some MS As may
have too few UI accounts in the allocation cell; these MS As
are collapsed and treated as a single MSA. Within each
selection cell, the units are sorted by PRN, and units are
selected according to the specified sample selection rate. The
number of units selected randomly from each selection cell is
equal to the product of the sample selection rate and the
number of eligible units in the cell, plus any carryover from
the prior selection cell. The result is rounded to the nearest
whole number. Carryover is defined as the amount that is
rounded up or down to the nearest whole number.
Once the sample is drawn, sample selection weights are
calculated based on the number of UI accounts actually selected within each allocation cell. The sample selection weight
is approximately equal to the inverse of the probability of
selection, or the inverse of the sampling rate. It is computed
as:
Sample selection weight = Nh / 1 ^

Sample enrollment activities. The primary enrollment of new
establishments for the CES-R is taking place in BLS Data
Collection Centers (DCCs) located in Atlanta, Kansas City,
and Dallas, and in the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Center in Chicago. Once the sample has been sent to the DCCs,
interviewers enroll the selected establishments. While the UI
account represents the sample unit, interviewers are responsible for tracking and collecting the data for the individual
establishments, regardless of the current UI configuration
associated with the establishments.
In the case of large, multiple-worksite UI accounts, it is
sometimes necessary to subsample employers. This occurs
when:
- the company cannot report for all worksites from a
central location;
- the company cannot provide an aggregate report for the
entire UI account;

where:

- there are too many individual worksites to make it practical to contact each of them.

Nh = the number of noncertainty UI accounts within
the allocation cell that are eligible for sample
selection
r^ = the number of noncertainty UI accounts selected
within the allocation cell

With subsampling of a smaller number of worksites, both
interviewer workload and respondent burden are reduced
without significantly reducing the accuracy of the estimates,
but this technique will result in a small increase in variance.
In the event that a UI account is subsampled, weight adjustments are made to reflect each of the worksites' probability of
selection.

To further reduce enrollment workload caused by the annual update of the sample, BLS has established a "swapping" procedure in which sample members selected in the
previous year are used in lieu of new sample members. As a
result of the swap procedure, the amount of sample overlap
from year to year is increased. A sample is selected from the
first-quarter frame using the random sampling procedures. If
a new sample member is selected during random sampling, a
check is made for a previously selected unit that was not
selected in the new sample. The previously selected unit must
be within the same State, industry, and size class and must
have the same PRN date as the originally selected unit. Newly
selected units are replaced until all suitable replacements are
exhausted. The units are generally available for swapping
due to changes in the MSA, SIC, and size of units.
As a result of the swap procedure, approximately 90 percent of the Current Employment Statistics Sample Redesign
(CES-R) sample overlaps from one year to the next. Before the




Estimation. Under the new methodology, CES uses a matched
sample concept and weighted link relative estimator to
produce employment, hours, and earnings estimates. Consistent with the historical CES definition, a matched sample
is defined to be all sample members that have reported data
for the reference month and the month prior. A slight adjustment to the above matched definition is made to exclude
from the matched sample any sample unit that reports that
it is out-of-business. The reasoning behind this handling is
described later in the section on estimation of business births
and deaths.
The estimator for employment and that for hours and
earnings uses the sample trend in the cell to move the previ200

Estimation of the series for women workers is identical to
that described for production workers, with the appropriate
substitution of women worker values for the production
worker values in the previous formulas.
The same basic form of the estimator holds for all data
types. The basic estimators of average weekly hours and
average hourly earnings are:

ous level or ratio to the current-month estimated level or
ratio. In the case of all employees, an additive model-based
component is applied as well. This component also
is described in the business birth and death estimation
section.

Benchmarking. Annual benchmark adjustment that revises

Simulated monthly probability estimates over a 7-year
period were created and compared with population employment levels. Moving from a simulated benchmark, the
differences between the series across time represent a cumulative birth/death component. Those residuals are converted
to month-to-month differences and used as input series to the
modeling process.
Models are fit using X-12 ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average). Outliers, level shifts, and temporary ramps are automatically identified. Seven models are
tested, and the model exhibiting the lowest average forecast
error is selected for each series.

applied to the March benchmark level to re-estimate 1 year
forward from the new benchmark levels. The year prior to the
benchmark is adjusted by a simple wedge-back procedure
that distributes the benchmark error in equal increments across
the 11 months preceding the March benchmark.
For initial implementation of the redesign estimates for
each major industry division, both the year prior to and the
year following the March benchmark month are revised to
incorporate sample-based estimates calculated from the new
sample and estimators wherever possible. In the June 2002
implementation, 2 full years of transportation and public utilities and finance, insurance, and real estate estimates were
replaced with redesign-based estimates. For industries that
do not have the complete probability sample enrolled by the
previous March benchmark month, the published quota estimates were wedged and the post-benchmark estimates were
calculated using the new sample and estimators. This technique was used for the introduction of redesign estimates for
the retail trade series in June 2002. Thus, there is more revision in the benchmark period than experienced previously
for all data types. In particular, basic cell-level hours and
earnings estimates, which have no benchmark revision under current procedures, are subject to change.

Difference between the birth/death model and bias adjustment. Table 2-F compares the level of bias adjustment
applied in the previous published CES series with the net
birth/death adjustment used in the redesign series in transportation and public utilities; retail trade; and finance, insurance, and real estate. Over the course of the "post-benchmark year" from April 2001 to March 2002, the cumulative
bias adjustment added 327,000 to the transportation and
public utilities; retail trade; and finance, insurance, and real
estate estimates, while the net birth/death model added 45,000
overall. Note that the latter model has greater variability from
month to month, including months with a negative adjustment. This mainly reflects the seasonal pattern of the net
birth/death series observed in the historical UI universe data
series.
The net birth/death models will replace the bias adjustment modeling currently used for the CES program as estimates for each major industry division are phased in for official publication. The ARIMA model component is updated
and reviewed on a quarterly basis, as are the current bias
adjustments. However, the net birth/death model component
figures are unique to each month, unlike the bias adjustments,
which are identical for all 3 months of a given quarter.
An important conceptual and empirical distinction between
current bias adjustment and new net birth/death models involves the elements that the models are designed to identify.
Although the primary purpose of the existing bias adjustment
process is to account for new business birth employment, it
also adjusts for other elements of nonsampling error, or bias,
in the current CES estimate because the primary input to the
model is total estimation error. Sampling bias can be significant in the existing sample because of its quota design, and
the bias component is therefore relatively large. In contrast,
the net birth/death models estimate only the residual component not measurable by the sample; the models do not attempt to correct for deficiencies in sample design. Therefore,
the net birth/death model component in the redesign series is
expected to be significantly smaller than the bias adjustment
component in the current CES estimates.
The most significant potential drawback to a model-based
approach is that time series modeling assumes a predictable
continuation of historical patterns and relationships. Therefore, a model-based approach is likely to have some difficulty

Business birth and death estimation. In a dynamic economy,
firms are continually going out-of-business while, at the same
time, new businesses are opening. These two normal occurrences offset each other to some extent. That is, firms that are
born replace firms that die. CES uses this fact to account for a
large proportion of the employment associated with business
births. This is accomplished by excluding such units from the
matched sample definition. Effectively, business deaths are
not included in the sample-based link portion of the estimate,
and the implicit imputation of their previous month's employment is assumed to offset a portion of the employment associated with births.
There is an operational advantage associated with this
approach as well. Most firms will not report that they have
gone out-of-business; rather, they simply cease reporting and
are excluded from the link, as are all other nonrespondents.
As a result, extensive follow-up with monthly nonrespondents
to determine whether a company is out-of-business or simply
did not respond is not required.
Employment associated with business births will not exactly equal that associated with business deaths. The amount
by which it differs varies by month and by industry. As a
result, the residual component of the birth/death offset must
be accounted for by using a model-based approach.
With any model-based approach, it is desirable to have 5 or
more years of history to use in developing the models. Due to
the absence of reliable counts of monthly business births and
deaths, development of an appropriate birth/death residual
series assumed the following form:
Birth/death residual = Population - Sample-based estimate
+ Error

producing reliable estimates at economic turning points or
during periods in which there are sudden changes in trend.
In sum, accurate estimation of the business birth component of total nonfarm employment will continue to be the
most difficult issue in CES employment estimation.
Variance estimation for the CES redesign estimates. A
probability-based sample allows for the calculation and
publication of sampling variances and confidence intervals—standard survey accuracy measures not directly
applicable to the current nonprobability design. The estimation of sample variance for the survey is accomplished
through use of the method of Balanced Half Samples (BHS).
This replication technique uses half samples of the original sample and calculates estimates using those
subsamples. The sample variance is calculated by measuring the variability of the subsample estimates. The weighted
link estimator is used to calculate both estimates and variances. The sample units in each cell—where a cell is based
on State, industry, and size classification—are divided into
two random groups. The basic BHS method is applied to
both groups. The subdivision of the cells is done systematically, in the same order as the initial sample selection.
Weights for units in the half sample are multiplied by a
factor of 1 + y where weights for units not in the half
sample are multiplied by a factor of 1 - y. Estimates from
these subgroups are calculated using the estimation formula described previously.

The formula used to calculate CES variances is as follows:

Appropriate uses of sampling variances in CES. Variance statistics are useful for comparison purposes, but they do have
some limitations. Variances reflect the error component of the
estimates that is due to surveying only a subset of the population, rather than conducting a complete count of the entire population. However, they do not reflect nonsampling error, such as
response errors, and bias due to nonresponse. The overall
performance of the program (calculating all-employee estimates)
will still be measured in terms of the benchmark revisions. Variances for items not benchmarked—that is, average hourly earnings and average weekly hours—can serve as a more meaningful measure of their error now with a representative probability
sample. The variances of the over-the-month change estimates
are very useful in determining when changes are significant at
some level of confidence.

AHE that will include the true over-the-month change with
90-percent confidence is calculated:

Sampling errors for probability-based industries. The sampling errors shown for the industries in table 2-G have been
calculated for estimates that follow the benchmark employment revision by a period of 12 to 24 months. Since the error
estimates generally increase as a function of time after the
month of benchmark revision, this period was determined to
be the period of greatest interest for the estimates. For example, the May 2002 estimates follow the benchmark revision
(March 2001) by 14 months. The errors are presented as median values of the observed error estimates. These estimates
have been estimated using the method of Balanced Half
Samples with the probability sample data and sample weights
assigned at the time of sample selection.

$0.11+/-(1.645*$0.14)
= $0.11+/-$0.23
= -$0.12 to $0.34
The true value of the over-the-month change is in the
interval -$0.12 to $0.34. Because this interval includes $0.00
(no change), the change of $0.11 shown is not significant at
the 90-percent confidence level. Alternatively, the estimated
change of $0.11 does not exceed $0.23 (1.645 * $0.14);
therefore, one could conclude from these data that the change
is not significant at the 90-percent confidence level.

Illustration of the use of table 2-G. Table 2-G provides a
reference for relative standard errors of three major series
developed from the CES—estimates of the numbers of all
employees (AE), of average hourly earnings (AHE), and of
average weekly hours (AWH) within the same industry. The
standard errors of differences between estimates in two nonoverlapping industries are calculated as:

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
(Tables B-7, B-14, and B-18)
As explained earlier, State agencies in cooperation with BLS
collect and prepare State and area employment, hours, and
earnings data. These statistics are based on the same establishment reports used by BLS. However, BLS uses the full
CES sample to produce monthly national employment estimates, while each State agency uses its portion of the sample
to independently develop a State employment estimate.
The CES 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.

since the two estimates are independent.
The errors are presented as relative standard errors (standard error divided by the estimate and expressed as a percent). Multiplying the relative standard error by its estimated
value gives the estimate of the standard error.
Suppose that the level of all employees for finance,
insurance, and real estate in a given month is estimated at
7,654,000. The approximate relative standard error of this
estimate (0.59 percent) is provided in table 2-G A 90-percent
confidence interval would then be the interval:

Caution in aggregating State data. The national estimation
procedures used by BLS are designed to produce accurate
national data by detailed industry; correspondingly, the State
estimation procedures are designed to produce accurate data
for each individual State. State estimates are not forced to
sum to national totals or vice versa. Because each State
series is subject to larger sampling and nonsampling errors
than is the national series, summing them cumulates individual State-level errors and can cause distortions at an aggregate level. This has been a particular problem at turning
points in the U.S. economy, when the majority of the individual State errors tend to be in the same direction. Due to
these statistical limitations, the Bureau does not compile or
publish a "sum-of-States" employment series. Additionally,
BLS cautions users that such a series is subject to a relatively
large and volatile error structure, particularly at turning points.

7,654,000 +/- (1.645 * .0059 * 7,654,000)
= 7,654,000+/-74,286
= 7,579,714to 7,728,286
Illustration of the use of table 2-H. Table 2-H provides a
reference for the standard errors of 1-, 3-, and 12-month
changes in AE, AHE, and AWH. The errors are presented as
standard errors of the changes.
Suppose that the over-the-month change in AHE from
January to February in coal mining is $0.11. The standard
error &r a 1-month change for coal mining from the table is
$0.14. The interval estimate of the over-the-month change in

("C" tables)

FEDERAL-STATE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM

Estimates for States

signal is a time series model of the true labor force which
consists of three components: A variable coefficient
regression, a flexible trend, and a flexible seasonal component. The regression techniques are based on historical and
current relationships found within each State's economy as
reflected in the different sources of data that are available
for each State—the Current Population Survey (CPS), the
Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, and the unemployment insurance (UI) system. The noise component
of the models explicitly accounts for auto correlation in the
CPS sampling error and changes in the average magnitude
of the error. In addition, the models can identify and remove the effects of outliers in the historical CPS series.
While all the State models have important components in
common, they differ somewhat from one another to better
reflect individual State characteristics.
Two models—one for the employment-to-population ratio
and one for the unemployment rate—are used for each State.
The employment-to-population ratio, rather than the
employment level, and the unemployment rate, rather than
the unemployment level, are estimated primarily because
these ratios are usually more meaningful for economic
analysis.
The employment-to-population ratio models use the relationship between the State's monthly employment from
the CES and the CPS. The models also include trend and
seasonal components to account for movements in the CPS
not captured by the CES series. The seasonal component
accounts for the seasonality in the CPS not explained by the
CES, while the trend component adjusts for long-run systematic differences between the two series.
The unemployment rate models use the relationship between the State's monthly unemployment insurance (UI)
claims data and the CPS unemployment rate, along with
trend and seasonal components.
In both the employment-to-population ratio and unemployment rate models, an important feature is the use of a
technique that allows the equations to adjust automatically
to structural changes that occur. The regression portion of
the model includes a built-in tuning mechanism, known as
the Kalman Filter, which revises a model's coefficients when
the new data that become available each month indicate that
changes in the data relationships have taken place. Once
the estimates are developed from the models, levels are calculated for employment, unemployment, and labor force.

Current monthly estimates. Effective January 1996, civilian labor force and unemployment estimates for all States
and the District of Columbia are produced using models
based on a "signal-plus-noise" approach. The model of the

Benchmark correction procedures. Once each year, monthly
estimates for all States and the District of Columbia are
adjusted, or benchmarked, by BLS to the annual average
CPS estimates. The benchmarking technique employs a pro-

Labor force and unemployment estimates for States,
labor market areas (LMAs), and other areas covered under
Federal assistance programs are developed by State employment security agencies under a Federal-State cooperative
program. The local unemployment estimates which derive
from standardized procedures developed by BLS are the
basis for determining eligibility of an area for benefits
under Federal programs such as the Job Training Partnership Act.
Annual average data for the States and 337 areas shown
in table C-3 are published in Employment and Earnings (usually the May issue). For regions, States, selected metropolitan areas, and central cities, annual average data classified
by selected demographic, social, and economic characteristics are published in the BLS bulletin, Geographic Profile
of Employment and Unemployment.
Labor force estimates for counties, cities, and other small
areas have been prepared for administration of various Federal economic assistance programs and may be ordered from
the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The report "Unemployment in States and Local Areas" is published monthly
through GPO and is available in microfiche form only, on a
subscription basis.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Monthly labor force, employment, and unemployment estimates are prepared for the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, and over 6,500 areas, including nearly 2,400
LMAs, counties, and cities with a population of 25,000 or
more. Regional aggregations are derived by summing the
State estimates. The estimation methods are described
below for States (and the District of Columbia) and for substate areas. At the sub-LMA (county and city) level, estimates are prepared using disaggregation techniques based
on decennial and annual population estimates and current
unemployment insurance data. A more detailed description
of the estimation procedure is contained in the BLS document, Manual for Developing Local Area Unemployment
Statistics.

cedure (called the Denton method) which adjusts the annual
average of the models to equal the CPS annual average, while
preserving, as much as possible, the original monthly seasonal pattern of the model estimates.
Estimates for substate areas
Monthly labor force, employment, and unemployment
estimates for two large substate areas—New York City and
the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area—are obtained using the same modeling approach as for states.
Estimates for the nearly 2,400 remaining LMAs, are prepared through indirect estimation techniques, described
below.

Substate adjustmentfor additivity. Estimates of employment
and unemployment are prepared for the State and all LMAs
within the State. The LMA estimates geographically exhaust
the entire State. Thus, a proportional adjustment is applied
to all substate preliminary LMA estimates to
ensure that they add to the independently estimated State
totals for employment and unemployment. For California
and New York, the proportional adjustment is applied to all
LMAs other than the two modeled areas, to ensure that the
LMA estimates sum to an independent model-based estimate for the balance of State.

Preliminary estimate—employment. The total civilian
employment estimates are based largely on CES data. These
"place-of-work" estimates must be adjusted to refer to place
of residence as used in the CPS. Factors for adjusting from
place of work to place of residence have been developed on
the basis of employment relationships at the time of the
1990 decennial census. These factors are applied to the CES
estimates for the current period to obtain adjusted employment estimates, to which are added estimates for employment not represented in the CES—agricultural employees,
nonagricultural self-employed and unpaid family workers,
and private household workers.




Preliminary estimate—unemployment. In the current month,
the estimate of unemployment is an aggregate of the estimates for each of two categories: (1) Persons who were previously employed in industries covered by State UI laws; and
(2) those who were entering the civilian labor force for the
first time or reentering after a period of separation.

Benchmark correction. At the end of each year, substate
estimates are revised. The revisions incorporate any changes
in the inputs, such as revisions in the CES-based employment figures, corrections in UI claims counts, and updated
historical relationships. The updated estimates are then readjusted to add to the revised (benchmarked) State estimates
of employment and unemployment.

Seasonal Adjustment

Over the course of a year, the size of the Nation's labor force,
the levels of employment and unemployment, and other
measures of labor market activity undergo sharp fluctuations
due to such seasonal events as changes in weather, reduced
or expanded production, harvests, major holidays, and the
opening and closing of schools. Because these seasonal
events follow a more or less regular pattern each year, their
influence on statistical trends can be eliminated by adjusting the statistics from month to month. These adjustments
make it easier to observe the cyclical and other nonseasonal
movements in the series. In evaluating 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, because they are subject not only to
sampling and other errors but are also affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor force and establishment-based data are published monthly in Employment and
Earnings.

based population controls, adjusted for the estimated
undercount, introduced into the Current Population Survey.
In 1996,1990-93 data also were revised to incorporate these
1990 census-based population controls and seasonally
adjusted series were revised back to 1990. Subsequent
revisions were carried back only to 1994 through 1998, when
the standard 5-year revision period was reinstated.
All labor force and unemployment rate statistics, as well
as the major employment and unemployment estimates, are
computed by aggregating independently adjusted series. For
example, for each of the major labor force components—
employment, and unemployment—data for four sex-age
groups (men and women under and over 20 years of age) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then added
to derive seasonally adjusted total figures. The seasonally
adjusted figure for the labor force is a sum of four seasonally
adjusted civilian employment components and four seasonally adjusted unemployment components. The total for
unemployment is the sum of the four unemployment components, and the unemployment rate is derived by dividing
the resulting estimate of total unemployment by the estimate of the labor force. Because of the independent seasonal
adjustment of various series, components will not necessarily add to totals.
In each January issue (March issue in 1996 and February
issue in 2003), Employment and Earnings publishes revised
seasonally adjusted data for selected labor force series based
on the experience through December, new seasonal adjustment factors to be used to calculate the civilian unemployment estimate for the first 6 months of the following year,
and a description of the current seasonal adjustment procedure.

Household data
Beginning in January 2003, BLS started using the X-12ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average)
seasonal adjustment program to seasonally adjust national
labor force data. This program replaced the X-l 1 ARIMA
program which had been used since January 1980. For a
detailed description of the X-l2-ARIMA program and its
features, see D.F. Findley, B.C. Monsell, W.R. Bell, M.C.
Otto, and B.C. Chen, "New Capabilities and Methods of the
X-12-ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Program," Journal of
Business and Economic Statistics, April 1998, Vol. 16,
No. 2, pp. 127-152. See "Revision of Seasonally Adjusted
Labor Force Series in 2003," in the February 2003 issue of
this publication for a discussion of the introduction of the
use of X-l2 ARIMA for seasonal adjustment of the labor
force data and the effects that it had on the data.
At the beginning of each calendar year, projected seasonal
adjustment factors are calculated for use during the JanuaryJune period. In July of each year, BLS calculates and
publishes in Employment and Earnings projected seasonal
adjustment factors for use in the second half, based on the
experience through June. Revisions of historical data, usually
for the most recent 5 years, are made only at the beginning of
each calendar year. However, as a result of the revisions to
the estimates for 1970-81 based on 1980 census population
counts, revisions to seasonally adjusted series in early 1982
were carried back to 1970. In 1994, data were revised only
for that year because of the major redesign and 1990 census-




Establishment data
Effective in June 1996, with the release of the March 1995
benchmark revisions, BLS began using an updated version
of the X-l2-ARIMA software developed by the Bureau of
the Census to seasonally adjust national establishment-based
employment, hours, and earnings series.
The conversion to X-12-ARIMA allows BLS to refine its
seasonal adjustment procedures to control for survey interval variations, sometime referred to as the 4- vs. 5-week
effect. While the CES survey is referenced to a consistent
concept, the pay period including the 12th day of the month,
inconsistencies arise because there are variations of 4 or 5
weeks between the week of the 12th in any given pair of
months. In highly seasonal months and industries, this variation can be an important determinant of the magnitude of
seasonal hires or layoffs that have occurred at the time the
survey is taken, thereby complicating seasonal adjustment.

211

Seasonally adjusted data are not published for a number
of series characterized by small seasonal components relative to their trend-cycle and/or irregular components. These
series, however, are used in the aggregation to higher level
seasonally adjusted series.
Seasonal adjustment factors for Federal Government
employment are derived from unadjusted data which include
Christmas temporary workers employed by the Postal Service. The number of temporary census workers for the
decennial census, however, is removed prior to the calculation of seasonal adjustment factors.
The standard procedure for seasonal adjustment for the
local education employment series was improved with the
1997 benchmark. In the past, the seasonal factors for this
industry were derived using the standard seasonal adjustment
procedure of a logarithmic transformation of the data as input
for the multiplicative decomposition of the series. However,
in recent years, the forecasted seasonal factors have failed to
adequately reflect the changing behavior of this industry in
the summer months. The factors for this industry are now
derived using a square-root transformation of the data as
input for an additive decomposition of the series. These
modifications produce seasonal factors that better reflect
current industry seasonal patterns. However, the annual
averages of seasonally adjusted and unadjusted series will
not be equal.
BLS also makes special adjustments for floating holidays
for the establishment-based series on average weekly hours
and manufacturing overtime hours. From 1988 forward, these
adjustments are now accomplished as part of the X-12ARIMA/REGARIMA modeling process. The special adjustment made in November each year to adjust for the effect
of poll workers in the local government employment series
also is incorporated into the X-12 process from 1988
forward.
Revised seasonally adjusted national establishment-based
series based on the experience through March 2002, new
seasonal adjustment factors for March-October 2002, and a
description of the current seasonal adjustment procedure
appear in the June 2002 issue of Employment and Earnings.
Revised factors for the September 2002-April 2003 period
appear in the December 2002 issue.
Beginning in 1993, BLS introduced publication of
seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment data by
major industry for all States and the District of Columbia
(table B-7). Seasonal adjustment factors are applied directly
to the employment estimates at the division level (component
series for manufacturing and trade) and then aggregated to
the State totals. The recomputation of seasonal factors and
historical revisions are made coincident with the annual
benchmark adjustments. State estimation procedures are
designed to produce accurate (unadjusted and seasonally
adjusted) data for each State. BLS independently develops a
national employment series; State estimates are not forced
to sum to national totals. Because each State series is subject
to larger sampling and nonsampling errors than the national

The interval effect adjustment is accomplished through the
REGARIMA (regression with auto-correlated errors) option
in the X-12 software. This process combines standard regression analysis, which measures correlations between two
or more variables, with ARIMA modeling, which describes
and predicts the behavior of a data series based on its own
past history. In this application, the correlations of interest
are those between employment levels in individual calendar months and the length of the survey intervals for those
months. The REGARIMA models estimate and remove the
variation in employment levels attributable to 11 separate
survey intervals, one specified for each month, except March.
March is excluded because this month has a 5-week interval between the February and March surveys only every 29
years.
Effective with the release of the March 1997 benchmark,
seasonally adjusted series for hours and earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers from 1989 forward incorporate refinements to the seasonal adjustment process to
correct for distortions related to the method of accounting
for the varying length of payroll periods across months—a
calendar effect.
REGARIMA modeling also is used to identify, measure,
and remove this calendar effect for the publication level seasonally adjusted hours and earnings series. For this reason,
calculations of over-the-year change in the establishment
hours and earnings series should use seasonally adjusted
data.
Projected seasonal factors for the establishment-based
series are calculated and published twice a year, paralleling
the procedure used for the household series. Revisions to
historical data (usually the most recent 5 years) are made
once a year, coincident with benchmark revisions. All series
are seasonally adjusted using multiplicative models in
X-12. Seasonal adjustment factors are computed and applied
at component levels. For employment series, these are
generally the 2-digit SIC levels. Seasonally adjusted totals
are arithmetic aggregations for employment series and
weighted averages of the seasonally adjusted data for hours
and earnings series.
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 the
average weekly earnings series by the seasonally adjusted
Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers (CPI-W), and multiplying by 100. Indexes of
aggregate weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained
by multiplying average weekly hours by production or
nonsupervisory workers and dividing by the 1982 annual
average base. For total private, total goods-producing, total
private service-producing, and major industry divisions, the
indexes of aggregate weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, are
obtained by summing the aggregate weekly hours for the
appropriate component industries and dividing by the 1982
annual average base.

series, summing them cumulates individual State level errors
and can cause significant distortions at an aggregate level.
Due to these statistical limitations, BLS does not compile a
"sum-of-States" employment series, and cautions users that
such a series is subject to a relatively large and volatile error
structure.

C-l and C-2). Beginning in 1998, regional aggregations are
derived by summing the State estimates. Using the X-ll
ARIMA procedure, seasonal adjustment factors are computed and applied independently to the component employment and unemployment levels and then aggregated to
regional or State totals. Current seasonal adjustment factors
are produced for 6-month periods twice a year. Historical
revisions usually are made at the beginning of each calendar year. Because of the separate processing procedures,
totals for the Nation, as a whole, differ from the results
obtained by aggregating regional or State data.

Region and State labor force data

divisions, the 50 States, and the District of Columbia (tables
