Overtime pay amounted to an estimated 10
percent of the factory worker’ average weekly
s
earnings in 1956. Calculated at time and onehalf, an average of $8.02 a week was earned,
generally for time worked in excess of sched
uled hours.
In 1956, the factory worker put in an av
erage of 3 hours of overtime a week for 4%
hours pay— a significant addition to a family
budget.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has been
collecting overtime hours data monthly since
January 1956, and on the assumption that most
overtime is compensated at time and one-half,
overtime pay can be estimated for 20 of the
major manufacturing industry groups.'1
In theory, overtime work is paid for at
penalty rates because of its undesirable na
ture. Long hours on the job leave the worker
with little time for family and community re
sponsibilities, for rest, sports, studies,
and entertainment. The prevalence of over
time in manufacturing industries indicates,
however, that a certain amount of overtime is
acceptable from the worker's point of view
because extra pay at time and one-half is an
important source of added income.
S t r a i g h t - t i m e hours and e a r n i n g s e x c l u d i n g
premium overtime can a l s o be computed.

Some Overtime In A ll M anufacturing
In d u s t r ie s
In none of the 20 industry groups was overtimepayless than 4 percent of weekly earnings
in 1956. In 16 of the groups, overtime repre
sented 8 percent or more of gross earnings.
Fully 15 percent of weekly earnings in the
paper industry resulted from overtime work,
and about 12 percent in lumber, machinery,
food, and stone, clay, and glass.
In the transportation equipment industry
where the introduction of new models induces
wide fluctuations in the workweek, overtime
pay rose from a low of $6.96 in May 1956 to a
December high of $16.56 (see table). In the
food industry, the seasonal pattern is re
flected in an April 1956 low of $7.43 and a
November high of $10.32. Much of the indus
try's characteristic volatility is not re
vealed by changes in premium pay for overtime
because such payment is not required for some
of its highly seasonal segments. In the can
ning industry, for example, overtime need not
be paid during the harvesting season until 56
hours a week have been worked. Similar ex
emptions apply to a lesser extent in the lum
ber industry, where the August to December
decline was $1.78.
Assumptions Underlying Overtime
Pay Estimates
Overtime hours reported to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics include only hours in excess
of those regularly scheduled for which more
than straight-time is paid for the work per
formed. Premium rates generally mean a mini
mum of one and one-half times straight-time
hourly pay, as specified by the Pair Labor
Standards Act, which covers most production
workers in manufacturing. It has been assumed
for purposes of this study that few establish
ments exempt from the overtime pay provisions
of the FLSA pay more than straight-time for
overtime work.
The validity of the overtime-pay series
hinges on the assumption that overtime is gen
erally paid for at time and one-half. To the
extent that other rates apply, the computa
tions of overtime earnings are inexact. How
ever, the Bureau of Labor Statistics in its
studies of labor-management agreements and
its industry wage surveys has found that time
and one-half is generally customary for at
least the first 4 hours of overtime worked
per week. Advanced rates are less frequently
specified and usually apply only after 4 to 8
hours of overtime have already been worked.
Printing is the one industry in which gradu
ated overtime rates are found to an extent
likely to make average overtime pay signifi
cantly above time and one-half. For this
reason overtime pay is not estimated sep
arately for this industry. Inclusion of over
time for printing in the nondurable goods
total produces little if any distortion and
has no perceivable effect on the manufacturing
average.
For Some Workers— Overtime
Rates Before 40 Hours
Although provisions of the Fair Labor
Standards Act require premium payment for
overtime after 40 hours for covered employers,
some segments of manufacturing are obligated
by union agreement to provide overtime payment
after thirty-odd hours.
The garment industry has a high proportion
of workers receiving overtime after 35 hours,
and perhaps half of the brewing industry is
on a regular 37% hour week. Other industries
with relatively large groups of workers on a
less than 40-hour straight-time week include:
baking, rubber, jewelry, millinery, fur, and
lumber.
An illustration of the shorter workweek
can be seen in the apparel industry, where
the total workweek averaged 36.3 hours in
1956. Overtime accounted for 1.2 hours of
this short week, arid overtime earnings amounted
to 5 percent of total pay. Similarly, a
process industries, and others relatively un
affected by seasonal variation may often have
regularly scheduled overtime.

h o u rs o f o v e r tim e .
I n n o n d u r a b le g o o d s a s a w h o le , t h e
s t r a i g h t - t i m e workweek was 3 7 .0 h o u rs in 1956,

d u r a b le goods.
Prequent shifts in length of workweek are
generally found in industries where seasonal
factors or economic pressures are most strongly
felt. Thus, a change in amount of overtime
worked in such relatively nonseasonal indus
tries as chemicals or machinery has greater
economic significance than similar shifts in
lumber or tobacco.

Explanatory Notes
INTRODUCTION
The statistics for nonfarm industries presented in
this monthly report are part of the broad program of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics to provide timely, com
prehensive, accurate, and detailed information for the
use of businessmen, government officials, legislators,
labor unions, research workers, and the general public.
The statistics are an integral part of the Federal
statistical system, and are considered basic indica
tors of the state of the Nationfs econoujy. They are
widely used in following and interpreting business
developments and in making decisions in such fields as
labor-management negotiations, marketing, personnel,
plant location, and government policy. In addition,
Government agencies use the data in this report to com
pile official indexes of production, labor productivity,
and national income.
ESTABLISHMENT REPORTS:
or engaging in more than one activity, the entire
employment of the unit is included under the industry
indicated by the most important product or activity.
The titles and descriptions of industries presented
in the Standard Industrial CJasalfinal ifemml. (u. S.
Bureau of the Budget, Washington, D. C.) are used for
classifying reports from manufacturing and government
establishments; the 19A2 Industrial Classification
Code, (ü. S. Social Security Board; for reports from
all other establishments.
c.
Coverage
Monthly reports on employment and, for most indus
tries, payroll and man-hours are obtained from approx
imately 155,000 establishments. (See table below.) The
table also shows the approximate proportion of total
employment in each industry division covered by the
group of establishments furnishing monthly employment
data. The coverage for individual industries within
the division may vary from the proportions shown.
A pproxim ate s ize and coverage of B L S
a.
Collection
The employment statistics program, which is based
on establishment payroll reports, provides current data
for both full- and part-time workers on payrolls of
nonagricultural establishments (see glossary for defi
nition, p. 7 -£) during a specified period each month.
The BLS uses two , shuttle" schedules for this program,
f
the BLS Form 790 (for employment, payroll, and manhours data) and the Form 1219 (for labor turnover data).
The shuttle schedule, used by BLS for more than 25
years, is designed to assist firms to report consist
ently, accurately, and with a minimum of cost. The
questionnaire provides space for the establishment to
report for each month of the current calendar year 5 in
this way, the employer uses the same schedule for the
entire year.
Under a cooperative arrangement with the BLS,
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and
completeness. The States use the information to prepare
State and area series and then send the data to the BLS
Division of Manpower and Employment Statistics for use
in preparing the national series.
b.
Industrial Classification
Establishments are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined
from information on annual sales volume. This informa
tion is collected each year. For manufacturing estab
lishments, a product supplement to the monthly 790
report is used. The supplement provides for reporting
the percentage of total sales represented by each pro
duct. Information for nonmanufacturing establish
ments is collected on the 790 form itself. In the

2/ Some firms do not report payroll and man-hour
information. Therefore, hours and earnings estimates
may be based on a slightly smaller sample than employ
ment estimates.
Labor turnover reports are received fro m approx
imately 10,000 cooperating establishments in the manu
facturing, mining, and connunication industries (see
table below). The definition of manufacturing used in
the turnover series is not as extensive as in the BLS
series on employment and hours and earnings because of
the exclusion of the following major industries from
the labor turnover sample: printing* publishing, and
allied industries (since April 1943); canning and pre
serving ftruits, vegetables, and sea foods; women's and

DEFINITIONS AND ESTIMATING
METHODS:
A.
EMFLOTMSNT
Definition
Enqployment data for all except Federal Government
establishments refer to persons who worked during, or
received pay for, any part of the pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month. For Federal Government
establishments current data generally refer to persons
who worked on, or received pay 'for, the last day of
the month.
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave, paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who work
during a part of the specified pay period and are un
employed or on strike during the other part of the
period are counted as employed« Persons are not con
sidered employed who are laid off or are on leave with
out pay, who are on strike for the entire period, or
who are hired but do not report to work during the
period. Proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family
workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in house
holds are also excluded. Government employment covers
only civilian employees; Federal military personnel
are shown separately, but their number is excluded
from total nonagrlcultural employment.
With respect to employment in educational institu
tions (private and governmental), BLS considers regular
full-time teachers to be employed during the summer
vacation period whether or not they are specifically
paid In those months*
Banchnwrlr Dot«
Employment estimates are periodically compared with
conplete counts of employment In the various nonagri-
onltural industries, and appropriate adjustments made
as indioatftd by the total counts or benchmarks. The
o<m*>arison made for the first 3 months of 1956 resulted
in changes amounting to 0.5 peroent of all nonagrioultural employment, as against 0.8 percent in the first
quarter 1955 benchmark adjustment. Changes ranged f*om
0.1 to 2.1 percent for 6 of the 8 major industry divi
sions; for the other 2, servioe and miscellaneous
industries required an adjustment of 3.4 peroent, oontreet construction 4*3 percent. The manufacturing
total was changed by only 0.1 percent. Within manu
facturing the heiMihmark and estimate diffmd hr 1*0
percent or less in 53 of the 132 individual industries,
39 industries were adjusted by 1*1 to 2.5 percent, and
am additional 22 in&ustriM differed by 2.6 to 5*0 per
oent. Cm sicalfioaiit cause of differences between the
benchmark and estimate is the chance in Ind-trial
classification of individual firms, which cannot be
refleeted in BLS estimates until they are adjusted to
nmr benchmarks. Other oamses are sampling and response
errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of enjoyment data, by industry,
compiled by State agencies from reports of establish
ments covered under State unemployment insurance laws.
Supplementary tabulations prepared by the U. S.
Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance are used for
the group of establishments exempt from State unem
ployment insurance laws because of their small size.
Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded
from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from
a variety of other sources.
The BLS estimates which are prepared for the
benchmark quarter are compared with the new benchmark
levels, industry by industry. Where revisions are
necessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between
the new benchmark and the preceding one. Following
revision for these intermediate periods, the industry
data from the most recent benchmark are projected to
the current month by use of the sample trends. Under
this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment while the sample is used to
measure the month-to-month changes in the level.
Estimating Muthod
The estimating procedure for industries for which
data on both "all employees”and "production and re
lated workers" are published (manufacturing and
selected mining industries) is outlined below; the
first step under this method is also used for indus
tries for which only figures on "all employees" are
published.
The first step is to compute total employment (all
employees) in the industry for the month following the
benchmark period. The all-employee total for the last
benchmark month (e.g., March) is multiplied by the
percent change of total employment over the month for
the group of establishments reporting for both March
and April* Thus, if firms in the BLS sample for an
industry report 30,000 employees in torch and 31,200
in April, April employment is 104 percent (31# 200
divided by 30,000) of torch employment. If the all
employee benchmark In torch is 40,000, the all-employee
total in April would be 104 percent of 40,000 or
41,600.
The second step is to compute the productionworker total for the industry. The all-employee total
for the month is multiplied by the ratio of production
workers to all employees« This ratio is computed from
establishment reports In the monthly sample« Thus, if
these firms in April report 24,960 production workers
and a total of 31,200 employees, the ratio of produc
tion workers to all employees would be «80 (24,960
divided by 31,200)« The production-warker total in
April would be 33,280 (41,600 multiplied by .80).
Figures for subsequent months are computed by
carrying forward the totals for the previous month ac
cording to the method described above.
The number of women employees in manufacturing,
published quarterly, is computed by multiplying the
all-employee estimate for the industry by the ratio
of women to all employees as reported in the industry
sample.
Employmant Adjusted for Seasonal Variation
Employment series for many industries reflect a
regularly recurring seasonal movement, which can be
measured on the basis of past experience« By elimi
nating that part of the change in employment which can
be ascribe^ to usual seasonal variation, it is pos
sible to clarify the cyclical and other nonseas onal
movements In the series. Adjusted employment aggre
gates are shown and also indexes (1947-49 a 100) de
rived from these aggregates« The Indexes have the
additional advantage of comparing the current sea
sonally adjusted employment level with average employ
ment in the base period«
W it h
other Employment Estimates
Employment data published by other government and
private agencies may differ fro m BLS enq>loyment sta
tistics because of differences in definition, sources
of information, methods of collection, classification,
and estimation« BLS monthly figures are not directly
comparable, for example, with the estimates of the
Census fonthly Report on the Labor Force (MJLF).
Census data are obtained by personal interviews with
individual members of a small sample of households
and are designed to provide information on the work
status of the whole population, classified by their
demographic characteristics. The BLS, on the other
hand, obtains data by mail questionnaire which are
based on the payroll records of business units, and
prepares detailed statistics on the industrial and
geographic distribution of employment and on hours of
work and earnings«
Since BLS employment figures are derived from
establishment payroll records, persons who worked in
more than one establishment during the reporting peri
od will be counted more than once in the BLS series.
By definition, proprietors, self-employed persons,
domestic servants, and unpaid family workers are ex
cluded from the BLS but not the MRLF series.
Employment estimates compiled by the Bureau of the
Census tram its censuses and/or annual sample surveys
of manufacturing establishments also differ from BLS
employment statistics« Among the Important reasons
for lack of comparability are differences in indus
tries covered, in the business units considered parts
of an establishment, and in the industrial classifi
cation of establishments« Similar differences exist
between the BLS data and those in County Business
Patterns published jointly by the U.S. Department of
Commerce and the U.S. Department of Health, Education
and Welfare.
B.
LABOR TURNOVER
Definition
1Labor turnover," as used in the BLS program, re
1
fers to the gross movement of wage and salary workers
into and out of employment status with respect to in
dividual firms during a calendar month« This movement
is subdivided into two broad types: accessions (new
hires and rehires) and séparations (terminations of
employment initiated by either employer or ençloyee ).
Each type of action is cumulated for a calendar month
and expressed as a rate per 100 eiqoloyees« All em
ployees, including executive, office, sales, other
salaried personnel, and production workers, are cov
ered by both the turnover movements and the employment
base used in computing labor turnover rates. All
groups of ençîloyees— full- and part-time, permanent,
and temporary— are included« Transfers from one es
tablishment to another within a company are not con
sidered to be turnover items«
Method of Computation
To compute turnover rates for individual indus
tries, the total number of each type of action (ac
cessions, quits, etc«) reported for a calendar month
by the sample establishments in each industry is first
divided by the total number of employees reported by
these establishments, who worked during, or received
pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the
15th of that month. The result is multiplied by 100
to obtain the turnover rate*
For example, in an industry sample, the total
number of employees who worked during, or received
pay for, the week of January 12-18 was reported as
25,498« During the period January 1-31 a total of
284 employees in all reporting firms quit. The quit
rate for the Industry is:
284 x 100 = 1.1
25,498
To compute turnover rates for broader industrial
categories, the rates for the component industries
are weighted by the estimated employment.
Separate turnover rates for men and women are pub
lished quarterly for 1 month in each quarter. Only
accessions, quits, and total separations are publish
ed« These rates are computed lia the same manner as
the all-employee rates; for example, the quit rate for
woman is obtained from an industry sample by dividing
the number of women who quit during the month by the
number of women employees reported«
Average monthly turnover rates for the year for
all employees are computed by dividing the sum of the
monthly rates by 12«
Comparability with Earlier Data
Labor turnover rates are available on a compara
ble basis from January 1930 for manufacturing as a
whole and from 1943 for two coal mining and two com
munication industries. Rates for many individual in
dustries and industry groups for the period prior to
January 1950 are not comparable with those for the
subsequent period because of a revision which in
volved (1) the adoption of the Standard Industrial
Classification (1945) code structure for manufactur
ing industries, and (2) the introduction of weighting
in the computation of industry-group rates.
Comparability with Employment Series
Manth-to-month changes in total employment in man
ufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover
rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the
Bureau's employment series for the following reasons:
(1) Accessions and separations are computed
for the entire calendar-month; the em
ployment reports, for the most part,
refer to a 1 -week pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month.
(2) The turnover sample excludes certain in
dustries (see under coverage, p. 2-E).
(3 ) Plants on strike are not included in the
turnover computations beginning with the
month the strike starts through the month
the workers return; the influence of such
stoppages is reflected, however, in the
employment figures.
C.
HOURS AND EARNINGS
Definitions of production workers, nonsupervisory
employees, payrolls, and man-hours from which hours
and earnings data are derived are included in the
glossary, page 7 - E . Methods used to compute hours
and earnings averages are described in summary of
methods for computing national statistics, page 6-E.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and non
manufacturing industries are on a "gross”basis, i.e.,
they reflect not only changes in basic hourly and in
centive 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
basis. Employment shifts between relatively high-paid
and low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in
individual establishments also affect the general
earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions
further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for
individual industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings refer to the actual return to the worker for
a stated period of time; rates are the amounts stipu
lated for a given unit of work or time. However, the
average earnings series does not measure the level of
total labor costs on the part of the employer, since
the following are excluded: irregular bonuses, ret
roactive items, payments of various welfare benefits,
payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for
those employees not covered under the productionworker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.
Gross average weekly earnings are affected not
only by changes in gross average hourly earnings, but
also by changes in the length of the workweek, parttime work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turn
over, and absenteeism.
Average Weekly Hours
The workweek information relates to average hours
worked or paid for, and is somewhat different from
standard or scheduled hours. Normally, such factors
4-E
as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and
stoppages cause average weekly hours to be lower than
scheduled hours of work for an establishments. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of
component industries.
Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of reg
ular hours and for which premium payments were made.
If an employee works on a paid holiday at regular rates,
receiving as total compensation his holiday pay plus
straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no overtime
hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours b y defini
tion, the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not
necessarily move in the same direction from month to
month; for example, premiums may be paid for hours in
excess of the straight-time workday although less than
a full week is worked. Diverse trends on the industrygroup level may also be caused b y a marked change in
gross hours for a component industry where little or
no overtime was worked in both the previous and cur
rent months. In addition, such factors as stoppages,
absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same
influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
Gross Averpg» Vterirlir E a m l n g a In Current and
1 9 4 7 ^ 9 Dollars
These series indicate changes in the level of
weekly earnings before and after adjustment for
changes in purchasing pcwer as determined from the
BLS Consumer Price Index.
AmMtt.-WreMLy
Net spendable average weekly earnings in current
dollars are obtained by deducting Federal social se
curity and income taxes from gross weekly earnings.
The amount of income tax liability depends on the
number of dependents supported by the worker, as well
as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these
variables, net spendable earnings have been computed
for two types of income receivers: (1 ) a worker with
no dependents; and (2 ) a worker with three depend
ents.
The computations of net spendable earnings for
both the factory worker with no dependents and the
factory worker with three dependents are based upon
the gross average weekly earnings for all production
workers in manufacturing industries without regard to
marital status, family composition, and total family
income.
Net spendable weekly earnings in 1947-49 dollars
represent an approximate measure of changes in "real"
net spendable weekly earnings, "Real" earnings are
computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index
into the spendable earnings average for the current
month. The resulting level of spendable earnings ex
pressed in 1947-49 dollars is thus adjusted for
changes in purchasing power since that base period.
ly data summarized in the M-300 report of the Inter
state Commerce Commission and relate to all employees
who received pay during the month, except executives,
officials, and staff assistants (ICC Group I). Gross
average hourly earnings are computed by dividing
total compensation by total hours paid for. Average
weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number
of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly basis, by the
number of employees, as defined above* Gross average
weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average
weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Because
hours and earnings data for manufacturing and other
nonmanufacturing industries are based upon reports to
the BLS which generally represent 1 weekly pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month, the data for
railroad employees are not strictly comparable with
other industry information shown in this publication.
A w w w Honrly gamings. Scoludlng OywrtlM,
of Production Worker» la Mmnfaeturlng
Average hourly earnings, excluding premium over
time pay, are computed by dividing the total produotion-worker payroll for the industry group by the sum
of total production-worker man-hours and one-half of
total overtime man-hours* ftdor to January 1956, data
were based on the application of adjustment factors to
gross average hourly earnings (as described in the
Monthly Labor Review, Iky 1950, pp. 537-540; reprint
available, Serial No* R. 2020). Both methods elimi
nate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No
adjustment is made for other premium payment provi
sions, for exanple— holiday work, late-ehift work, and
overtime rates other than time and one-half.
In d a » » o f Aggregate Weekly Mm-Hours
STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
The indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours are pre
pared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1947-49 period. These aggre
gates represent the product of average weekly hours
and employment.
State and area employment, hours, and earnings
statistics are collected and prepared by State
agencies in cooperation with the BLS.
These sta
tistics are based on the same establishment reports
used by the BLS for preparing national estimates.
State employment series are adjusted to benchmark
data from State unemployment insurance agencies
and the Bureau of COLd Age and Survivors Insurance.
Because some States have more recent benchmarks
than others and use slightly varying methods of
computation, the sum of the State figures may
differ slightly from the official U. S. totals
prepared by the BLS.
The aggregate man-hours are defined as total manhours for which pay was received by full- and parttime production or construction workers, includili
hours paid for holidays, sick leave, and vacations
taken. The man-hours are for 1 week of the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month, and may not be
typical of the entire month.

G LO SSARY
ALL EMPLOYEES - The total number of persons on estab
lishment payrolls who worked full- or part-time or
received pay for any part of the pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month. Includes salaried
officers of corporations as well as employees on
the establishment payroll engaged in new construc
tion and major additions or alterations to the plant
who are utilized as a separate work force (f orceaccount construction workers). Proprietors, selfemployed persons, domestic servants, unpaid family
workers, and members of the Armed Forces are ex
cluded,
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS - Includes working foremen,
journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, helpers, labor
ers, and similar workers engaged in new work, al
terations, demolition, and other actual construc
tion work, at the site of construction or working
in shop or yard at jobs (such as precutting and pre
assembling) ordinarily performed by members of the
construction trades; includes all such workers re
gardless of skill, engaged in any way in contract
construction activities,
CONTRACT CONSTRUCTION - Covers only firms engaged in
the construction business on a contract basis for
others. Force-account construction workers, i,e.,
hired directly by and on the payroll of Federal,
State, and local government, public utilities, and
private establishments, are excluded from contract
construction and included in the employment for such
establishments •
DURABLE GOODS - The durable-goods subdivision includes
the following major manufacturing industry groups:
ordnance and accessories; lumber and wood products;
furniture and fixtures; stone, clay, and glass pro
ducts; primary metal industries; fabricated metal
products; machinery; electrical machinery; trans
portation equipment; instruments and related pro
ducts; and miscellaneous manufacturing industries as
defined. This definition is consistent with that
used by other Federal agencies, e.g., Federal Re
serve Board,
speculative builders, subdividers, and developers;
and agents and brokers).
GOVERNMENT — Covers Federal, State, and local govern
ment establishments performing legislative, execu
tive, and judicial functions, including Government
corporations, Government force-account construction,
and such units as arsenals, navy yards, and hospi
tals. Federal government employment excludes em
ployees of the Central Intelligence Agency. State
and local government employment includes teachers,
but excludes, as nominal employees, paid volunteer
firemen and elected officials of small local units.
LABOR TURNOVER:
Separations are terminations of employment during
the calendar month and are classified according to
cause: quits, discharges, layoffs, and miscellaneous
separations (including military), as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment during the
calendar month initiated by employees for such
reasons as: acceptance of a job in another company,
dissatisfaction, return to school, marriage, mater
nity, ill health, or voluntary retirement where no
company pension is provided. Failure to report aft
er being hired and unauthorized absences of more
than 7 consecutive calendar days are also clas
sified as quits. Prior to 1940, miscellaneous
separations were also included in this category.
tm flrthftTpes are terminations of employment during
the calendar month inititated by the employer for
such reasons as employees1 incompetence, violation
of rules, dishonesty, insubordination, laziness,
habitual absenteeism, or inability to meet physical
standards.
T^voffs are terminations of employment during the
calendar month lasting or expected to last more than
7 consecutive calendar days -without pay, initi
ated by the employer without prejudice to the work
er, for such reasons as lack of orders or materials,
release of temporary help, conversion of plant, in
troduction of labor-saving machinery or processes,
or suspensions of operations without pay during
inventory periods.
ESTABLISHMENT - "A single physical location where busi
ness is conducted or where services or Industrial
operations are performed; for example, a factory,
mill, store, mine, or farm. Where a single physical
location comprises two or more units which maintain
separate payroll and inventory records and which are
engaged in distinct or separate activities for which
different industry classifications are provided in
the Standard Industrial Classification, each milt
shall be treated as a separate establishment * An
establishment is not necessarily identical with the
business concern or firm which may consist of one
or more establishments. It is also to be distin
guished from organizational subunits, departments,
or divisions within an establishment." (Standard
Industrial Classification Manual, U. S. Bureau of
the Budget, Vol. I, Part I, p. 1, November 1945.)
Persons on leave of absence (paid or unpaid)
with the approval of the employer are not counted as
separations until such time as it is definitely de
termined that such persons will not return to work.
At that time, a separation is reported as one of the
above types, depending on the circumstances.
FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE - Covers private
establishments operating in the fields of finance
(banks, security dealers, loan agencies, holding com
panies, and other finance agencies); insurance (in
surance carriers and independent agents and bro
kers); and real estate (real estate owners, including
Accessions are the total number of permanent and
temporary additions to the employment roll during
the calendar month, including both new and rehired
employees. Persons returning to work after a layoff,
military separations, or other absences who have been
counted as separations are considered accessions.
Miscellaneous separations (including military)
are terminations of employment during the calendar
month because of permanent disability, death, re
tirement on company pension, and entrance into the
Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 consecu
tive calendar days. Prior to I 9I Q, miscellaneous
4
separations were included with quits. Beginning
September 194-0, military separations were included
here.
MA.N-HOURS - Covers man-hours worked or paid for of
specified groups of workers, during the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month. The specified
group of workers in manufacturing and mining indus
tries, laundries, and cleaning and dyeing plants is
production and related workers; in the contract con
struction industry, it is construction workers; and
in the other industries, it is nonsupervisory em
ployees, The man-hours include hours paid for holi
days, sick leave, and vacations taken; if the em
ployee elects to work during a vacation period, the
vacation pay arid the hours it represents are omitted,
MANUFACTURING - Covers private establishments engaged
in the mechanical or chemical transformation of in
organic or organic substances into new products and
usually described as plants, factories, or mills,
which characteristically use power-driven machines
and materials-handling equipment. Establishments
engaged in assembling component parts of manufac
tured products are also considered manufacturing if
the new product is neither a structure nor other
fixed improvement. Government manufacturing opera
tions such as arsenals and navy yards are excluded
from manufacturing and are included under Government,
MINING - Covers establishments engaged in the extrac
tion from the earth of Organic and inorganic miner
als which occur in nature as solids, liquids, or
gases; includes various contract services required
in mining operations, such as removal of overburden,
tunneling and shafting, and the drilling or acidiz
ing of oil wells; also includes ore dressing, béné
ficia ting, and concentration,
NONDURABLE GOODS - The nondurable-goods subdivision
includes the following major manufacturing industry
groups: food and kindred products; tobacco manu
factures; textile-mill products; apparel and other
finished textile products; paper and allied products;
printing, publishing, and allied industries; chemi
cals and allied products; products of petroleum and
coal; rubber products; and leather and leather pro
ducts. This definition is consistent with that
used by other Federal agencies, e.g., Federal Re
serve Board.
NONSUPERVISORY EMPLOYEES - Includes employees (not
above the working supervisory level) such as office
and clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons,
operators, drivers, attendants, service employees,
linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar
occupational levels, and other employees whose
services are closely associated with those of the
employees listed.
OVERTIME HOURS - Covers premium overtime hours of pro
duction and related workers during the pay period
ending nearest the 15 th of the month. Overtime hours
are those for which premiums were paid because the
hours were in excess of the number of hours of either
the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and
