EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT
HIGHLIGHTS
July I960
THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: JULY I960
Changes in employment and unemployment were on the whole seasonal
between June and July. However, employment in construction picked up more
than seasonally and there were continued job cutbacks in the steel industry.
Unemployment dropped by 400, 000 over the month to 4. 0 million in July.
The reduction was about usual for this period and the seasonally adjusted rate
of unemployment of 5. 4 percent was not significantly different from the 5. 5percent rate of the month before. Unemployment among teenagers dropped
sharply as many of the youngsters who sought work in June found jobs by July.
Unemployment among adults, however, rose moderately for the second month
with job cuts in durable goods industries, mainly autos and steel. State insured
unemployment, which does not include new entrants into the job market, rose by
nearly 150, 000 from mid-June to 1. 7 million in mid-July. This increase was
somewhat more than seasonal.
The number of persons unemployed 15 weeks or longer was unchanged over
the month at 800, 000 and was about the same as a year ago.
Total employment, at 68. 7 million, continued at a record high, but was
not substantially changed from June. Total nonagricultural employment, including the self-employed, domestics, and unpaid family workers, was 61. 8 million
in July, also approximately the same as a month earlier. At the same time, the
number of workers on nonfarm payrolls dropped by 365, 000 over the month to 53. 2
million largely as a result of vacation-taking by workers who did not receive pay
for the period and were therefore not included in the payroll count. (The figure
on total nonagricultural employment based on the household survey includes
workers on vacation from a job whether or not they are paid.)
Nonfarm Payroll Employment
The July decline in nonfarm payroll employment was about usual for this
time of year, although there were contrasting developments in several industries.
Employment in the construction industry rose by 120, 000 over the month, a
comparatively large June to July increase. On the other hand, durable goods
industries reported a drop of 170, 000 jobs.
There was a cutback of 40, 000 workers in the primary metals industry—
the fifth successive monthly decline. The contraction in steel operations also
brought job reductions in some other industries. Mining employment dropped
more than seasonally as some coal mines which observed their customary
vacation closedown around the end of June did not reopen in mid-July for lack
of demand from steel mills. In addition, transportation employment (both in
railroads and in trucking) dropped off by 25, 000*partly as a result of these developments.
Automobile employment also fell in July, in part because manufacturers
started to trim auto inventories in anticipation of an early model changeover. In
addition, operations at some plants were hindered by material shortages resulting from a strike at a supplier plant.
Declines in a number of manufacturing industries reflected vacation^
taking without pay by some workers. However, chiefly because of the developments
in steel and autos, the 160, 000 reduction in all factory jobs between June and July
to 16. 3 million was greater than usual.

Beginning in January 1960
data include Alaska and Hawaii
Other employment changes were mainly connected with the season.
The
largest change, a drop of 270,000 government employees, was due mainly to
the reduction in school system employment during the summer recess.
Over the year, employment was up in State and local governments
(300,000), wholesale and retail trade (260,000), service (120,000), and finance (50,000).
Manufacturing employment, however, was down by 160,000
(mainly in steel and aircraft); mining, and transportation and public utilities
were down by 50,000 and 20,000 respectively.
Factory Hours and Earnings
The factory workweek dipped by 0, 2 hours to 39. 8 hours in July.
The
decline was about normal for this period, and the seasonally adjusted level consequently showed no change. (See table C-5.) The transportation equipment industry reported one of the larger declines (0.6 hours), the result of a drop in
auto production. An increase of 0. 3 hours in the primary metals industry did
not reflect a longer workweek, since many workers previously on short time
were on vacations and were paid for 40 hours.
As a result of the decline in the factory workweek, earnings of production workers edged off by 46 cents over the month to $91. 14 per week.
Hourly
earnings remained unchanged at $2. 29.
Weekly earnings were $1.49 higher than a year ago, reflecting a 6-cent
rise in hourly earnings over the year.
The workweek, however, was 0. 4 hours
less.
Total Labor Force
The total labor force, including the Armed Forces as well as all civilian workers, dipped by 300,000 over the month to 75.2 million in July. All of
the reduction occurred among adult women, a group which usually declines
slightly at this time of year when teachers leave the labor force for the summer.
(Only those with contracts to return to work in the fall are counted as
employed. ) In most years, there are also reductions among women in the
farm work force in July, but farm operations have been delayed this year because of bad weather in early spring.
The number of teenagers in the labor force (8-1/4 million) was virtually
unchanged over the month, in contrast to a seasonally expected increase of
about 400,000.
This year, partly because of the lateness of the June survey
week, much of the labor force increase expected among school-age youngsters
in July had already been reflected in the June figures.
For the last 4 months, the labor force has shown an average growth
of about 1 million from the corresponding 1959 levels.
(This comparison
allows for the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii in this year1 s figures. ) During
I960, this growth has been rather uneven, and in the 1st quarter the gain from
1959 averaged only about 300,000.
Total and part-time employment
Total employment was virtually unchanged over the month at 68. 7
million, after reaching an all-time record level in June. Both farm and nonfarm employment were about stable at 6.9 million and 61.8 million respectively.
About 600,000 additional teenagers were employed in nonfarm jobs in
July. At the same time, there was a reduction of an almost equal number of
adult workers--mostly school employees but also some men from hard goods
manufacturing industries.

Beginning in January 1960. data include Alaska and Hawaii.
Nonfarm employment continued at an all-time record in July, 800, 000
above a year earlier. All of the growth over the year was recorded among women,
Farm employment was as high as a year ago, but there had been a further drop of
about 200, 000 in the number of farm self-employed.
As usual, the number of nonfarm employees on vacation reached a peak
in July, rising by more than 3 million over the month to about 5-1/2 million.
The great majority of these workers—over 80 percent—were paid by their
employers for all or part of the time off. The proportion on paid vacations was
about the same as in July 1959. Altogether, there were about 1 million employees
on unpaid vacations in July, up sharply from June, but only slightly higher than
in July 1959.
The number of regular full-time workers on part time because of slack
work and other economic factors (including the start of new jobs during the
survey week) was 1.1 million in July as compared with 1. 4 million in June and
900, 000 a year ago. Since April, this total on reduced workweeks because of
economic reasons has| averaged higher than in 1959; most of the increase has
been among factory workers. In the spring and early summer of 1959, when
durable goods production was being accelerated in anticipation of the steel strike,
there was less part time and more overtime.
Characteristics of the Unemployed
Duration of Unemployment. The number unemployed less than 5 weeks
(representing new spells of unemployment) fell sharply in July, dropping by
800, 000 from its unusually high June level to 1. 9 million. After allowance for
seasonal changes, the number of short-term unemployed was about the same in
July as in May and in most other months this year.
On the other hand, the number unemployed 5 to 10 weeks rose by 350, 000
in July. This increase was greater than usual, reflecting the especially large
influx of new jobseekers in June and ttie inability of some to find jobs within
a month. Long-term unemployment (15 weeks\and over) remained unchanged over
the month at 800, 000, and was about the same as a year ago.
Age, Sex, and Marital Status. Unemployment among teenagers fell sharply
by 550, 000 to 1. 0 million, following the abnormally large increase in June. These
young persons accounted for onerthird of the unemployed in June but only oneEourth in July. Teenagers entering the labor force this summer appear to be
finding jobs at about the same rate as a year ago. About 13 percent of those in
the labor market were unemployed in July I960, the same proportion as in
July 1959.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the number of unemployed teenagers in
July was slightly below the number in May before their unusually large influx
into the labor market began. On the other hand, the number of unemployed men
and women 20 and over has risen moderately over the last 2 months whereas
little change is normally expected for this time of year.(See chart on page vi.)
As in June, the unemployment rate among married men was slightly higher than
a year earlier.

Industry Attachment of Last Job. Most of the 400,000 drop in unemployment occurred among young job-seekers with no previous work experience.
These new workers number 650, 00O among the unemployed in July, as compared
with 1 million a month ago. Unemployment also declined among young workers
whose previous job experience was in trade or service.
At the same time, the
number of unemployed factory workers edged up over the month, largely as a
result of cutbacks in steel and autos.
Unemployed new workers totaled about the same as a year earlier.
The
unemployment rate was slightly higher than a year earlier among experienced
workers, but was substantially higher for hard-goods manufacturing workers.
Within that sector, the unemployment rate in the primary metals industry was
twice as high as a year ago, after having doubled over the last 2 months.

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

Beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introducion of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force,
otal employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for total and males. Other categoies were relatively unaffected.
4
Data for 1960 include•Alaska and Hawaii and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has resulted in an increase of about half a million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in the
.abor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciably
changed.

turnover series--concepts and scope, survey methods, and
limitations—is contained in technical notes for each of
these series, available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics free of charge.

INTRODUCTION
hours during the survey week. In the figures based on establishment records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each time
their names appear on payrolls.
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
tvo major sources: (1) household interviews and (2) payroll
reports from employers.
Data based on household Interviews are obtained from
a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted
each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor
force, i.e., the total number of persons Ik years of age and
over who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data on
their personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex,
color, marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration
of unemployment. The information is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about 35,000 households in 330 areas
throughout the country and is based on the activity or status
reported for the calendar veek ending nearest the 15th of the
month.
Hours of Work
The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers.
In the household survey data, all persons with a job but not at
work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on
paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included
and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid
during the reporting period.
Data based on establishment payroll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The payroll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average veekly hours,
average hourly and veekly earnings, and labor turnover for the
Nation, States, and metropolitan areas.
The figures are based on payroll reports from a
sample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 million
nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all
workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
Comparability of the household interview data with other series
Unemployment Insurance data. The unemployed total
from the household survey includes all persons who did not work
at all during the survey week and twere looking for work or were
waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been
laid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for
unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance
claims, prepared by the Bureau of Employment Security of the
Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their
benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing Jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local
government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work,
nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
Relation between the household and payroll series
The household and payroll data supplement one another,
each providing significant types of information that the other
cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for
example, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences in definition and coverage, sources of
information, methods of collection, and estimating procedures.
Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasons
for discrepancies. The factors which have a differential effect
on levels and trends of the two series are described below:
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment
used in the household survey. For example, persons with a job
but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the
week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, but
are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey.
Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition
of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and other private household workers), self-employed
persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during
the survey week in family-operated enterprises. Employment in
both farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of
nonfarm establishments.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under Ik in the Agricultural Marketing
Service (AMS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders who
are counted more than once if they worked on more than one farm
during the reporting period. There are also wide differences in
sampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods, which
cannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences in
level and trend of the two series.
Multiple jobholding. The household approach
provides information on the work status of the population without duplication since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding
more than one job are counted only once, and are classified according to the job at which they worked the greatest number of
Unpaid absences from Jobs* The household
survey includes among the employed all persons who had jobs but
were not at work during the I survey week—that is, were not
working or looking for work but had jobs from which they were
temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation,
labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time off
for various other reasons, whether or not they were paid by
their employers for the time off. In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on paid sick leave, paid vacation, or
paid holiday are Included, but not those on leave without pay
for the entire payroll period.
Comparability of the payroll employment data with other series
Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of
the Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ
from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from
1-E
Each employed person is counted only once. Those who
held more than one job are counted in the job at which they
worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week.
its censuses or annual sanple surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The Major reason for lack of comparability is different treatment of
business units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in the
industrial classification of establishments due to different
reporting patterns by multi-unit companies. There are also differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the
Census of Business excludes professional services, transportation companies, and financial establishments, while these are
included in BLS statistics.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not
living on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratory
farm workers).
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of
work around the house (such as own home housework, and painting
or repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce
and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establishment statistics in the units considered integral parts of an
establishment and in industrial classification. In addition,
CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, interstate railroads, and government.
Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did not
work at all during the survey week and were looking for work,
regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did
not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job
from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not
in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed
no work was available in their line of work or in the community.
Persons in this latter category yill usually be residents of a
community in which there are only a few dominant industries
which were shut down during the survey week. Not included in
this category are persons who say they were not looking for work
because they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any way.
Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs.
Not all nonfarm vage and salary workers are covered by the Unemployment Insurance programs. All vorkers in certain activities,
such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, are
excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are
also excluded in 3^ States. In general, these are establishments with less than four employees.
LABOR FORCE DATA
The Unemployment Rate represents the number unemployed
as a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of the
employed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed for
groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital
status, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupation
groups, the labor-force base for the unemployment rate also represents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latter
classified according to industry and occupation of their latest
full-time civilian Job.
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics
of employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force data
are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in its
Current Population Survey (CPS). (A detailed description of
this survey appears in Concepts and Methods Used in the Current
Employment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau of
the Census, U. S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population
Reports, Series P-23, No. 5. This report is available from BLS
on request.)
Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time
(through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work or
would have been looking for work except for temporary illness,
or belief that no work was available in their line of work or in
the community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment
represents the number of full weeks since the termination of
their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic
mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted
with a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the
civilian noninstitutional population Ik years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household Ik years of age
and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the
calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15th
of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance
with the criteria described above. The "total labor force" also
includes members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the
United States or abroad.
Inmates of institutions and persons under Ik years of
age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are
excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown in
this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
Not in Labor Force includes all civilians Ik years and
over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These
persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes
for the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to
work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as
unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work
(less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor
force.
The sample for CPS is spread over 333 areas comprising 6kl counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50
States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed interviews are obtained each month from about 35*000 households.
There are about 1,500 additional sample households from which
information should be collected but is not because the occupants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporarily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about k percent.
Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan
provides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to be
common from one month to the next, and one-half to be common
with the same month a year ago.
CONCEPTS
Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to the
job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are
classified in the job at which they worked the greatest number
of hours during the survey week. The occupation and Industry
groups used in data derived from the CPS household interviews
are defined as in the 1950 Census of Population. Information on
the detailed categories included in these groups is available
upon request.
Employed Persons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, or
in their own business or profession, or on their own farm, or
who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in a
business operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those
who were not working or looking for work but who had Jobs or
businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, or
because they were taking time off for various other reasons,
whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off.
The industrial classification system used in the Census
of Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhat
from that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by industry. Employment levels by industry from the household survey,
although useful for many analytical purposes, are not published
in order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ from
the payroll series because of differences in classification,
sampling variability, and other reasons. The industry figures
from the household! survey are used as a base for published
distributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other
2-E
characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, and
occupation.
mortality, and migration between the United States and other
countries.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and
salary workers," subdivided into private and government workers,
"self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage and
salary workers receive wages, salary, comlssion, tips, or pay
in kind frost a private employer or from a governmental unit.
Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in
their own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15
hours a week or More on a farm or in a business operated by a
member of the household to whom they are related by blood or
marriage.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure is
used which takes account of net changes from the previous month
for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the
sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces
the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes
but also of the levels for most items.
Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example, a person
who normally works kQ hours a week but who was off on the
Teterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even
though he was paid for the holiday.
For persons working in more than one job, the figures
relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the
week. However, all the hours are credited to the major Job.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey
week are designated as working "full time"; persons who worked
between 1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part time."
Part-time workers are classified by their usual status at their
present job (either full time or part time) and by their reason
for working part time during the survey week (economic or other
reasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material
shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination
of job during the week, and inability to find full-time work.
"Other reasons" include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for
full-time work and full-time worker only during peak season.
Seasonal Adjustment
The seasonal adjustment method used for unemployment
and other labor force series is a new adaptation of the standard
ratio-to-moving average method, with a provision for "moving"
adjustment factors to take account of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description and illustration of the method
will be published later this year.
Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of
the labor force to be applied to data for 1958 and later
periods are shown in table A. Factors for broad age-sex groups
and for duration of unemployment categories will be included in
the publication cited in the preceding paragraph. In computing
these factors, the pre-1957 data were adjusted to reflect the
new definitions of employment and unemployment adopted in
January 1957. Seasonally adjusted aggregates for these series
for 19^7 to date are available on request.

ESTIMATING METHODS
The estimating procedure is essentially one of using
sample results to obtain percentages of the population in a
given category. The published estimates are then obtained by
multiplying these percentage distributions by Independent estimates of the population. The principle steps involved are shown
below. Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of the
results for a given month become available simultaneously and
are based on returns from the entire panel of respondents.
There are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark
data on labor force, employment, or unemployment. Therefore, revisions of the historical data are not an Inherent feature of
this statistical program.
1. Wonlnterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to
account for occupied sample households for which no information
was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or
unavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six
groups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence
categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5
percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.

In evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern-that is, changes in a seasonally adjusted series--it is important to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates
have a broader margin of possible error than the original data
on which they are based, since they are subject not only to
sampling and other errors but, in addition, are affected by the
uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance,
from that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics as
age, color, sex, and residence. Since these population characteristics are closely correlated with labor force participation
and other principal measurements made from the sample, the
latter estimates can be substantially improved when weighted
appropriately by the known distribution of these population
characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of
ratio estimates as follows:
Reliability of the Estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that might occur by chance because
only a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are
about two out of three that an estimate from the sample would
differ from a complete census by less than the standard error.
The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be
less than twice the standard error.
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the
known 1950 Census data on the color-residence distribution of
the population. This step takes into account the differences
existing at the time of the 1950 Census between the colorresidence distribution for the Ration and for the sample areas.
Table B shows the average standard error for the major
employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12
recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are
also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of
change for consecutive months is also shown in table B. The
standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step,
the sample proportions are weighted by independent current estimates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimates
are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data
(1950) to take account of subsequent aging of the population,

The figures presented in table C are to be used for
other characteristics and are approximations of the standard
errors of all such characteristics. They should be interpreted
as providing an indication of the order of magnitude of the
standard errors rather than as the precise standard error for
any specific item.
The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed
by using sample data for both numerator and denominator depends
upon both the size of the percentage and the size of the total
upon vhich the percentage is based. Where the numerator is a
subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are relatively more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates
of the numerator of the percentage, particularly if the percentage is large (50 percent or greater). Table E shows the
standard errors for percentages derived from the survey.
Linear interpolation may be used for percentages and base figures not shovn in table E .

Illustration: Assume that the tables shoved the total
number of persons working a specific number of hours, as
15,000,000, an Increase of 500,000 over the previous month.
Linear interpolation in the first column of table C shows that
the standard error of 15,000,000 is about 160,000. Consequently,
the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the figure vhich would
have been obtained from a complete count of the number of persons working the given number of hours vould have differed by
less than 160,000 from the sample estimate. Using the 160,000

The standard error of the change in an item from one
month to the next month is more closely related to the standard
error of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the
specific month-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to use
the approximations to the standard errors of month-to-month
changes as presented in table D, i t is first necessary to obtain
the standard error of the monthly level of the item in table C,
and then find the standard error of the month-to-month change in
table D corresponding to this standard error of level. It
should be noted that table D applies to estimates of change betveen 2 consecutive months. For changes between the current
month and the same month last year, the standard errors of level
shovn in table C are acceptable approximations.

ESTABLISHMENT DATA
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on vage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in
nonfarm establishments, by geographic location.
Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements vith State agencies,
the respondent fills out only 1 employment or labor turnover
schedule, vhich is then used for national, State, and area
estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of
respondents and, together vith the use of identical techniques
at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic
comparability of estimates.
fc-I
Labor Turnover
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare State and
area series and then send the data to the BLS for use in preparing the national series. The BLS and the Bureau of Employment Security jointly finance the current employment statistics
program in ^3 States, the turnover program in kl States.
Labor turnover reports are received from approximately
10,500 establishments in the manufacturing, mining, and communication industries (see table below). The following manufacturing industries are excluded from the labor turnover sample:
Printing, publishing, and allied industries (since April 19^3);
canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods;
women's and misses' outerwear; and fertilizer.

The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number
of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments for the pay period ending nearest the 15th
of each month. The labor turnover schedule provides;for the

INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION
Establishments are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected
each year on a product supplement to the monthly 790 or 1219 report. In the case of an establishment making more than one
product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire employment of the establishment is included under the industry
indicated by the most important product or activity.

Industry Employment
Prior to publication of State and area data for
January 1959, all national, State, and area employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover series vere classified In accordance vith the following documents: (1) For manufacturing,
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Volume I, Bureau of
the Budget, 19^5, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial
Classification Code, Social Security Board, 19^2. Beginning
with January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958), State and area
series are classified under the revised Standard Industrial
Classification Manual published in 1957- The national industry
statistics will be converted to the 1957 SIC early in 1961.
Employment data for all except Federal Government
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
For Federal Government establishments, current data generally
refer to persons who received pay for the last day of the month.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in
households. Salaried officers of corporations are included.
Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal
military personnel are shown separately, but their number Is
excluded from total nonagricultural employment.
COVERAGE
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), paid
holiday, or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the pay
period and are unemployed or on strike during the rest of the
period, are counted as employed. Persons are not counted as
employed who are laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike
for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to
work during the period.
Employment, Hours, and Earnings
Monthly reports on employment and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours are obtained from approximately
180,000 establishments. The table below shows the approximate
proportion of total employment in e*ch Industry division

Employment estimates are periodically compared with
complete counts of employment in the various industries defined
as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indicated by the total counts or benchmarks. The comparison made
for the first 3 months of 1957, the last benchmark adjustment,
resulted in changes amounting to 0.5 percent of all nonagricultural employment, identical with the extent of the adjustment
to the first quarter 1956 benchmark. The changes were less
than 0.5 percent for three of the eight major industry divisions; under 2 percent for two other divisions; and 3.2, 3.3,
and 6.4 percent for the remaining three divisions. The manufacturing total was changed by only 0.1 percent for the second
successive year. Within manufacturing, the benchmark and estimate differed by 1.0 percent or less in 39 of the 132 individual industries, kl industries were adjusted by 1.1 to 2.5 percent, and an additional 27 industries differed by 2.6-5-0
percent. One significant cause of differences between the
benchmark and estimate is the change in Industrial classification of individual firms, which is usually not reflected in BLS
estimates until they are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other
causes are sampling and response errors.

Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in

small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded from the unemployment insurance lavs are derived from a
variety of other sources.
The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark quarter
(the first quarter of the year) are compared vith the new
benchmark levels, industry by industry. Where revisions are
necessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between the new
benchmark and the preceding one. The new benchmark for each industry is then 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.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated
period or time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for a
given unit of work or time. The earnings series, however, does
not measure the level of total labor costs on the part of the
employer since the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses,
retroactive items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees
not covered under the production-worker or nonsupervisoryemployee definitions.
Seasonal Adjustment
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross
average hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of
the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes,
labor turnover,_and absenteeism.
Employment series for many industries reflect a regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be measured on the
basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the
change in employment which can be ascribed to usual seasonal
variation, it is possible to clarify the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted employment aggregates are published. These estimates are derived by
the use of factors based on free-hand adjustments of 12-month
moving averages. Seasonal factors are available on request.
Average Weekly Hours
The workweek information relates to the average hours
for which pay was received, and is different from standard or
scheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover,
part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to be
lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component
industries.
I Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers or
nonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. When
the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures are
reduced to a weekly basis.
Average Overtime Hours
Production and Related Workers include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and
trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing,
shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services,
product development, auxiliary production for plant's own use
(e.g., power plant), and recordkeeplng and other services
closely associated with the above production operations.
The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of regular
hours and for which premium payments were made. If an employee
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 by definition,
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 industry-group level may also be caused by a
marked change in gross hours for a component industry where
little or no overtime was worked in both the previous and current months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same influence on
overtime hours as on gross hours.
Nonsupervisory Employees include employees (not above
the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical
workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen,
and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose
services are closely associated with those of the employees
listed.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the
15th of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions
of any kind, e.g., pJLd-age and unemployment insurance, group
insurance, withholding tax, bonds, and union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave
paid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid
regularly each pay period), other pay not earned in pay period
reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent,
fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded.
Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars
are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security and
income taxes from gross weekly earnings. The amount of income
tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by
the worker, as well as on the level of his gross income. To
reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed for
two types of income receivers—a worker with no dependents, and
a worker with three dependents. The computations are based on
the gross average weekly earnings for all production and related workers in manufacturing, mining, or contract construction without regard to marital status, family composition, or
total family income.
Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, during
the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for production, construction, and nonsupervisory workers. The manhours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for
sick leave when pay is received directly from the firm.
Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of production and related workers during the pay period ending
nearest the. 15th of the month. Overtime hours are those for
which premiums were paid because the hours were in excess of
the number of hours of either the straight-time workday or
workweek. Weekend and holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums
were paid are excluded.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the; current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings average for the current
month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 19^7-^9
dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since
the base period.
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime
pay are computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total productionworker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours.
Prior to January 1956, data were based on the application of
adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as
described in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-5^0).
Both methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid
for at one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, reflecting not
only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates, but also
such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift
work, and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive
plan. Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and
6-E
holiday vork, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than
tine and one-half.
employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death,
retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company,
and entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than
30 consecutive calendar days.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate veekly payrolls and nan-hours
are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 19^7-^9 period. The nan-hour aggregates
are the product lof average veekly hours and product!on-vorker
employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of gross
average veekly earnings and production-vorker employment.
Railroad Hours and Earnings
The figures for Class I railroads (excluding switching
and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in
the M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate to all employees 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 veekly hours are
obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced
to a veekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above.
Gross average veekly earnings are derived by multiplying average
veekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Labor Turnover
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary vorkers into and out of employment status vith respect to
individual establishments. This movement, vhich relates to a
calendar month, is divided into tvo broad types: Accessions
(nev hires and re hires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees, whether
full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive,
office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production vorkers.
Transfers to another establishment of the company are included
beginning with January 1959-
Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll including both nev and
rehired employees.
Nev hires are temporary or permanent additions to the
employment roll of former employees not recalled by the employer, or persons who have never before been employed in the
establishment, except for those transferred from other establishments of the company.
Other accessions, vhich are not published separately
but are included in total accessions, are all additions to the
employment roll vhich are not classified as nev hires.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not
comparable vith the changes shown in the Bureau's employment
series for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of
the month; (2) the turnover sample excludes certain industries
(see Coverage, p. 5-E); (3) plants on strike are not Included in
the turnover computations beginning vith the month the strike
starts through the month the vorkers return; the influence of
such stoppages is reflected, however, in the employment figures.
STATISTICS FOR STATES A N D AREAS
Separations are terminations of employment during the
calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,
layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor
turnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in
cooperation vith BLS. Additional industry detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed on the inside back cover.
These statistics are based on the same establishment reports
used by BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment,
the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from the
equivalent official U.S. totals because of differences in the
timing of benchmark adjustments, slightly varying methods of
computation, and, since January 1959, a different classification system. (See Industrial Classification, p. 5-E-)
Quits are terminations of employment Initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized
absences, if on the last day of the month the person has been
absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
For Alaska and Hawaii, satisfactory employment
estimates cannot be derived by subtracting the U.S. totals
vithout Alaska and Hawaii from the totals including the 2 nev
States.
Layoff8 are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated
by the employer vithout prejudice to the vorker.
Other separations, vhich are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations of
