CAUTION
Periodically, the Bureau adjusts
the industry employment series to a
recent benchmark to improve their accuracy.
These
adjustments may
also
affect the hours and earnings series
because employment levels are used as
weights. All industry statistics after
March 1959, the present benchmark date,
are therefore subject to revision.
Beginning with November 1961 and
subsequent issues of Employment and
Earnings, data in tables B-l through
B-lj, C*^l through C-7, and D-l through
D-3 are based on the 1957 Standard
Industrial
Classification
and
a
Karch 1959 benchmark.
Therefore,
issues of Employment and Earnings prior
to November ±961 cannot be used in conjunction with national industry data
now shown in sections B, C, and D.
Comparable data for prior periods are
published in Employment

.ted States, 190960, which may be purchased from the
Superintendent of Documents for C3.
For an individual industry, earlier
data may be obtained upon request to
the Bureau.
When industry
data are
again
adjusted to new benchmarks, another

be issued containing the revised data
extending from April 1959 forward to a
current date, as well as the prior historical statistics.

Employment of Women in Nonagricultural Industries
David M. Fishbein

Expansion of Series on Employment of Women

The number of industries for which the
Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes data on
employment of women has been expanded and now
includes 335 industries instead of the 265
(manufacturing only) for which such figures
were previously published. The 70 industries
(nonmanufacturing)
which have been added
account for a large part of the remaining
women in nonagricultural activities.
The
recent interest in employment of women evidenced by establishment of vthe President's
Commission on the Status of Women, and the
Nation1s stake in full utilization of manpower resources, motivated this expansion of
the BLS series.
Data reflecting the expansion are published for the first time in
this issue of Employment and Earnings in
table B-li- and will continue to appear in that
table four times a year in the February, May,
August, and November issues.
Table B-4 now includes all of the industries in the manufacturing; wholesale and
retail trade; and finance, insurance, and
real estate divisions for which "all employee" statistics are published. Data for
many of the transportation, communications,
and public utilities industries and for a few
service
industries
are
also
included.
Although employment data are published for
women at the division level in mining, some
of the industries below the two-digit level
in this division are not published, since
fewer than 1,000 women are employed in these
industries. Series for additional industries
will be published as the data permit.
Some of the series for manufacturing industries are available on a comparable basis
as far back as January 1950. These particular series are confined to total manufacturing, the durable goods subdivision, the nondurable goods subdivision, the 21 two-digit




industry groups, and a few of the more detailed industry breakdowns.
Most of the detailed manufacturing
series begin as of
January 1958 •
Hiese historical data are
shown in Bnployment and Earnings Statistics
for the United States, 1909-60 (BLS Bulletin
1312).
For the nonmanufacturing industries
now represented in the data, series have been
reconstructed back to January i960
and are
shown at 3-fflOn"kk intervals in table 1.
Compared with other BLS series, those
for women workers separately were introduced
at a relatively recent date. Separate series
on women wage earners (production workers
only) in selected manufacturing industries
were first published during World War II to
determine the extent to which women workers
were contributing to the war effort by accepting jobs in factories. The earliest data
available are for October 19**0.
Subsequent
data for selected
months were published
through 19^2, and for succeeding periods
through May 19V7, "by month. All of these
series appear in the 19^7 edition of the
Handbook of Labor Statistics (BLS Bulletin
9l6); some had previously appeared in a
series of BLS pamphlets entitled, Women in
Factories. These data are not comparable
with those currently published for two important reasons. As previously
indicated,
series now published cover all women employees on the payrolls of the establishments % that is, they include white-collar
workers and supervisory employees, and are
not confined, as in earlier series, to production workers. Further, in many cases, the
older series are based on industry definitions which have been superseded.
These statistics on employment of women
are based on the Bureau's payroll reports,
and are not directly comparable with BLS

iii

estimates of the number of persons employed
in nonagricultural industries obtained from
the monthly household survey. There are significant differences in concept and scope, as
well as differences in collection and estimating techniques "between the data from these
two sources. For example, the payroll series
exclude unpaid family workers and domestic
servants in private homes, two sectors which

include a large number of women employees,
whereas these are covered by the household
survey. In addition, the household survey
includes proprietors and other self-employed
persons who are not covered in the payroll
series. A more detailed explanation and additional differences are outlined in the explanatory notes on page 1-E.

Analysis of Historical Trend
Employment of Women
in Manufacturing
Historical data for manufacturing back
to 1950 are available for observing trends in
the employment of women. Although for the
division as a whole, employment of women in
general moved in the same direction as total
employment, women employees as a proportion
of all employees has remained close to 26
percent during the entire
12-year period
(table 2). The proportion of women employees
slightly exceeded this figure during the
early 1950fs as more women workers engaged in
factory employment during the Korean conflict. Also, the proportion of women tends
to be higher in October than in any of the
other 3 months for which such data are published. This is due to seasonal expansion in
industries which employ large numbers of
women temporary employees, including such activities as canning and tobacco stemming and
redrying, which expand during the fall harvest. The high point for women employees as
a percentage of all employees during the past
12 years was reached in October 1959; this
was owing, however, to the fact that a large
number of male production workers were not at
work during the steel strike in the fall of

cent. During this same period, the proportion of women in petroleum refining increased
from 4.9 percent to 8.4 percent, and in
leather goods, the increase was from 45.9
percent to 51•9 percent.
Also during the 12-year period, as total
employment rose more in the durable goods industries than in nondurable goods, the proportion of all women workers in manufacturing
who worked in the durable goods industries
increased. Of all women employed in manufacturing in 1950, 68.2 percent were in nondurable goods industries, and by January 1962,
this proportion had declined to 60.7 percent;
consequently, the proportion in durable goods
rose from 31*8 percent to 39*3 percent (table
3). Only a small part of this shift resulted
from the greater utilization of women within
the durable goods subdivision, even though
the proportion of women rose in all but 3 of
the 11 durable goods industries. In contrast, the proportion of women declined in 6
of the 10 nondurable goods industries,
MDst
of the increase in durable goods occurred in
the electrical equipment and supplies industry where the proportion of women rose by 2.4
percentage points and the proportion of women
to all women in manufacturing rose from 8.2
percent to 13.0 percent employed in manufacturing, largely as a result of the phenomenal
growth in electronics. This activity employs
women in the assembling and inspection of
fine components, functions to which women
workers seem particularly adapted. In nondurable goods, the only dramatic change was
in the textile mill products industry where
the proportion
of women workers to all
workers in the industry remained almost con-

1959Even though the ratio of women to all
employees has remained virtually unchanged
over the 12-year period, there have been a
few significant changes in the proportions
of women in some of the component industries.
These large shifts were generally confined to
the smaller industry groups (table 3)» In.
tobacco manufactures, the proportion of women
dropped from 56.9 percent to 48.4 percent,
and in paper and allied products, the proportion declined from 24.5 percent to 20.8 per-




iv

stant, but the proportion of all women employed in manufacturing dropped from 14.2
percent to $.0 percent. The chart shows the
relative status of women employment as of
January 196*2 in those manufacturing industries which were major sources of jobs for
women.

Employment of Women
in Nonmanufacturing
Since historical data for women employees in nonmanufacturing industries are
not available for periods prior to January
i960, no pertinent analysis over time can be
made. However, the chart indicates the relative extent of employment of women as of
January 1962 in those divisions for which
data are available. For example, in wholesale and retail trade women not only made up
a very large proportion of the workers in
the division, but in January 1962, they
accounted for more than 4,200,000 employees,
making this division about equal to total




manufacturing in the number of women employed. Finance, insurance, and real estate,
with 1,380,000 women in January 1962, employed the largest proportion of women to all
employees of the major industry divisions for
which data are available. The reason this
division is such an important source of jobs
for women is related to the fact that it is a
white-collar industry and women workers are
predominant in clerical and kindred work.
(See table A-11.) Women account for only a
small part of total employment in the mining
division, since production occupations in
mining are not of a type normally filled by
women. Of the 6^7,000 persons employed in
mining in January 1962, only 35>OOO
were
women. Series on women employment are not
published for the total transportation and
public utilities division, since data are not
available for railroads and some other transportation segments. Similarly, such series
for the total services and miscellaneous
division are not published, primarily due to
the lack
of adequate data in component
industries.

EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTS
July 1962
THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: JULY 1962
The changes in the job situation between June and July were largely seasonal.
Although nonfarm payroll employment declined by 250, 000 over the month to
55. 5 million, this was a smaller decline than usual. On a seasonally adjusted
basis, nonfarm jobs were at an all-time high in July. The improvement over
the month was due in part to the termination of strikes in construction.
Among the nonmanufacturing industries, better-than-seasonal developments
were registered in construction, trade, and service. A large reduction (290,000)
was reported by State and local government, mainly among school employees.
Factory employment, which had been rising sharply through May, showed seasonal changes in July (down 100, 000 to 16. 8 million). Job changes in most durable
goods industries were in line with usual June to July expectations, in contrast to
the better-than-seasonal gains recorded earlier in the year. However, employment
in the primary metals group fell for the third consecutive month--not yet reflecting
the mid-July pickup-in steel production. Employment in the soft-goods manufacturing group as a whole was not significantly changed over the month.
The average factory workweek at 40. 4 hours in July (down 0. 3 hour from June)
fell slightly more than usual for this time of the year. Although edging downward
since April (seasonally adjusted) the current workweek was still the longest for
July since 1950, equalling July 1955. Average weekly earnings fell by $0. 71
in July to $96. 56, largely as a result of the decline in the workweek. Average
hourly earnings remained unchanged over the month at $2.39.
As reported on August 1, unemployment declined by 450, 000 over the month to
4. 0 million. The decline was concentrated almost entirely among teenagers who
found jobs in nonfarm activities. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in
July was 5. 3 percent compared with 5. 5 percent in June and 5. 4 in May 1962.
It has shown little change during the past 6 months, remaining near the 5-1/2
percent mark.
State insured unemployment which excludes most teenage job seekers rose
seasonally by about 100, 000 over the month to 1. 6 million in July.
Total employment in July, at 69. 6 million,was practically unchanged from
June, but was the highest July level on record--l. 1 million above the previous
peak set in July I960. On a seasonally adjusted basis, however, it has shown
little change in recent months.
Total nonagricultural employment (including the self-employed, domestics and
unpaid family workers) reported a seasonal pickup of a quarter of a million to
63. 5 in July, 1-1/2 million higher than a year ago. The figures on total employment include workers on vacation whether or not they are paid. Farm employment recorded its usual June to July drop, falling by 200, 000 to 6.1 million,
some 400, 000 below a year ago.
There were 2. 7 million nonfarm workers on short workweeks because of
economic reasons, virtually unchanged from June. The economic part-time
group, discounting seasonal changes, has been edging upward irregularly since
the beginning of the year.

Insured under following programs: State unemployment insurance, unemployment compensation for Federal employees, veterans, ex-servicemen,
railroad workers (RRBJ and temporary programs.
Beginning in January 1960. data include Alaska and Hawaii

The total labor force declined seasonally over the month by 400, 000 to 76. 4
million in July. Adult women who were primarily temporary farm workers and
school employees accounted for most of the month-to-month decline.
The total labor force in July was about a half million higher than in July 1961
(allowing for the shift to the I960 Census base in April 1962) and continues to be
below expectations of over-the-year labor force growth. Older men, women in
the 45 to 54 age group* and teenage boys all showed year-to-year declines in
labor force participation rates.
Nonfarm Payroll Employment
Nonfarm payroll employment declined by about 250, 000 over the month to 55. 5
million in July. As expected for this time of year, employment declined in State
and local government (mostly in public school systems) and in manufacturing as a
result of vacation shutdowns. On the other hand, the construction, finance, and
service industries added employees to their payrolls.
The overall drop in payroll employment was smaller than usual for July. In
contrast to earlier months, however, all of the improvement took place in nonmanufacturing industries and was due in part to the termination of strikes in
construction. Altogether, the number of employees on nonfarm payrolls has risen
by 1.1 million more than seasonally expected since January. After seasonal adjustment, payroll employment was at an alltime high.
Factory employment dropped by about 100, 000 over the month to 16. 8 million
in July. Most durable goods manufacturing industries showed small seasonal
declines over the month. An important exception was primary metals,where
employment fell more than seasonally for the third consecutive month, not yet
reflecting the mid-July upturn in steel production. The machinery industry continued to show moderate improvement in July, but employment in the other metalworking industries has leveled off after trending upward earlier in the year. In
transportation equipment, job developments were in line with seasonal expectations
after allowance for the return of striking workers at one aircraft manufacturer.
July production of new cars was the highest since 1955 but employment leveled
off in anticipation of the model changeover.
Durable goods as a whole have shown only seasonal changes since May whereas
between January and May they increased their employment by about 330, 000 more
than seasonal. Together with the gains achieved in 1961, this sector almost made
up the job losses incurred in the I960 recession, but its employment in July was
still 50, 000 below May I960 and about 150, 000 below its own prerecession peak of
February I960.
Employment in nondurable goods was little changed over the month. About
50, 000 workers were added in food processing but job rolls were reduced
in textiles and apparel. On a seasonally adjusted basis, employment in soft
goods was 100, 000 above January but snowed a slight dip between June and July.
As in the hard goods sector, some of the industries which had been recording gains
earlier in the year, such as apparel, chemicals, and rubber, did not show any
further improvement in July.
Jobs in construction rose by 150, 000 over the month to 3. 0 million. Although
this was more than seasonal, the gain could be attributed mainly to the return of
striking employees to work. After seasonal adjustment, July employment in
construction was up only slightly from April and was about the same as a year ago.

There was a better-than-seasonal rise in service employment (to 7.9 million)
in July. This sector has moved up by 100, 000 more than seasonally since May,
after leveling off in earlier months this year. On a seasonally adjusted basis,
trade increased by about 50, 000 to continue a persistent upward trend through
1962. Mining and transportation jobs declined by a total of 40, 000 over the month;
part of the drop in the latter industry was caused by striking airlines employees.
The summer vacation schedules of the public school systems brought State and
local government employment down by 290,000 in July.
Factory Hours and Earnings
The workweek in manufacturing dropped 0. 3 hour to 40. 4 hours in July. For
the most part, the drop over the month was seasonal; however, on a seasonally
adjusted basis the workweek has been edging down since April for a total loss of
0.4 hour. Nevertheless, the workweek was the longest for any July since 1950;
only in July 1955 were factory hours as high as in the current month.
The sharpest drop over the month was in primary metals (l. 7 hours) where
steel production had not yet begun its upward trend of recent weeks. On the
other hand, hours of work in fabricated metals, electrical equipment, and
transportation equipment did not decline as much as they usually do in July. The
workweek in machinery declined seasonally but was still the highest for July
since 1956.
In the soft goods sector, more than seasonal reductions in hours of work
occurred in textiles, apparel, and rubber, but the workweek in each of these
industries was still at high levels for July.
Factory production workers averaged 2. 8 hours of overtime in July as compared
with 2. 9 in June. Overtime hours were 0. 3 hour more than a year ago.
Average weekly earnings of production workers decreased by $0.71 in July to
$96, 56# The decline was brought about by the drop in the workweek. Average
hourly earnings remained the same as in June at $2. 39. Hourly earnings were
6 cents higher than in July 1961; weekly earnings were $3. 36 higher.
Employment Trends in the Growth Industries. Government, service, finance,
and trade, the major growth industries of the postwar period, together employed
31. 2 million persons in July 1962, or 55 percent of total payroll employment.
From 1947 to 1961, they increased their employment by 9. 2 million, or 44 percent.
During this same period, all other nonfarm industries combined showed a net
increase of only one million, or 4 percent. Employment in mining actually
declined by 300,000. Among the service-producing industries, only the transportation-public utilities group employs fewer people now than it did in 1947.




xvi

State and local government employment has risen faster than any other sector.
In the postwar period, its yearly increases have averaged about 4-1/2 percent, and
data for 1962 indicate that it is still growing in line with its long-trem trend.
Although slightly higher than last year, Federal Government employment was about
the same as it was ten years ago.
The overall job gain in finance and service in the postwar period has been about
3 percent each year. The finance-insurance-real estate group, however, has
been expanding more slowly since 1956; its rate of increase from that year has
been only about two-thirds its previous rate. The 1962 data appear to show a
continuation of the trend since 1956.
Unlike government and finance, the service industry group (which includes
personal^business,and professional services, hotels, recreation, etc.) has been
somewhat responsive to dips in economic activity. Employment in services
expands more slowly during recessions. Following the low point of the I960
recession, there was a period of virtually no growth in the first part of 1961, but
service employment picked up rapidly in the latter part of 1961. It again slowed
temporarily in early 1962 but has picked up markedly in June and July.
Although decidely more vulnerable to fluctuations of the business cycle, trade
employment until 1953 was expanding almost as rapidly as the other growth
industries. Since 1953, three business recessions have flattened out this industry1 s
growth curve considerably, even though there has been a spurt in employment
following each recession. In the latter half of 1961 trade employment declined
slightly and then increased sharply in 1962.
Construction employment grew rapidly until 1956 when it hit a peak of 3.1
million. However, it has been trending downward since then. It was at a level
of 2. 7 million in July 1962 (seasonally adjusted). In 1962 the employment changes
have been erratic; the July figure was the highest for this year but still no higher
than a year ago.
The largest drop in construction jobs since 1956 (approximately 20 percent) has
occurred in general building construction, which constitutes about one-third of all
contract construction employment. Highways, bridges, other nonbuilding construction, and special trade contractors (such as plumbing, painting, and plastering)
are practically unchanged from their highest levels in 1956.

Unemployment
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in July was 5. 3 percent compared
with 5. 5 percent in June and 5. 4 in May 1962. The jobless rate has not changed
substantially during the past 6 months, remaining near the 5-1/2 percent mark.
A similar leveling off in the unemployment rate occurred during the comparable
stage of recovery from previous postwar recessions, but at somewhat lower
levels — around 5. 0 percent of the labor force following the 1957-58 downturn and
slightly over 4 percent after the 1953-54 recession. (Slee chart 5# )
After allowance for seasonal fluctuations, the unemployment level has fallen
by 350, 000 since the beginning of 1962; it was 1.1 million lower than in July 1961.
Age, Sex, and Marital Status. The June to July unemployment drop of 450, 000
was almost entirely concentrated among teenagers, many of whom had entered
the job market in the previous month. All of this reduction in unemployment was
reflected in a net addition of teenagers to nonfarm employment. The number in
the labor force and in farm employment was not significantly changed over the
month.
The over-the-month decline in unemployment of youngsters was about the same
as last-year. Their rate of unemployment (12-1/2 percent, seasonally adjusted)
was unchanged over the month. Since the beginning of the year, however, the
seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for youngsters has been moving downward
irregularly.

July unemployment r a t e . . . .

The unemployment situation of adult men (20 years and over) was almost
unchanged over the month. Their seasonally adjusted rate went from 4.7
to 4. 5 percent, about the same rate as that registered between February and May
of this year, but substantially below a year ago. Some 1. 8 million adult men
were reported looking for work this July, 600, 000 fewer than a year ago. About
1.1 million women 20 years and over were unemployed in July, unchanged over
the month but 300, 000 less than last year.
Of the 4 million unemployed persons in July 1962, about one-fourth (1.1 million)
were married men, Their seasonally adjusted unemployment rate, 3. 5 percent
in July, has been virtually unchanged since February 1962 and was down to
prerecession levels.
Nearly 700, 000 married women were looking for work in July 1962, about the
same number as the previous month. On a seasonally adjusted basis, their
unemployment rate was about 5 percent, also little changed from February.
However, this rate was substantially below a year ago (6. 4 percent) and only
slightly above May I960.
Composition of the Unemployed. Although the number of unemployed in
July 1962 (and the unemployment rate) was the same as in I960 in the early months
of the recession, some changes have taken place in the composition of the group.
Young persons under 25 years of age (see table C) make up a higher proportionnow
than two years ago. This shift is also reflected in an increasing proportion with
no previous work experience. White-collar and service workers contribute a
larger part of the unemployed currently than they did at the beginning of the I960
recession—36 percent as compared with 32 percent.

Duration of Unemployment. The number of long-term unemployed (15 weeks
or longer) fell by 100, o6o to about 900, 000 in July and was substantially below
the total of a year ago (1. 6 million). Included among the long-term unemployed
were nearly 600, 000 persons who had been without jobs for more than half a
year, unchanged over the month.
Long-term unemployment (15 weeks or more) lags behind changes in the
overall unemployment totals in the recovery phase of the business cycle. After
allowance for seasonal movements, long-term unemployment was rising in
1961 until July. Since that time, long-term unemployment has almost been cut in
half and there have been similar substantial reductions in the number of very
long-term unemployed. However, the number unemployed 6 months or longer
was still 150,000 (or 40 percent) above its July I960 level,whereas total
unemployment was back to the level of 2 years ago.




XX

Among the 600, 000 persons in July 1962 with unusually long spells of unemployment, the following groups stand out:




1. Young men (under 25 years of age) now make up about 15
percent of the very long-term unemployed as compared
with only 9 percent in 1957. The proportion of young
women under 25 has also about doubled (moving from 4
to 8 percent) in the 5-year span. Altogetherythese young
people represented about one-fifth of the long-term
unemployed. This is not yet out of line with their
proportion in the labor force but it is significant that they
have become increasingly important since the 1957 downturn.
2.

Workers 45 and over continued to account for
43 percent oT the very-long-term unemployed as compared
with 38 percent of the civilian labor force. However, they
have declined slightly since 1957 as a proportion of the longterm unemployed.

3.

Blue-collar workers now account for 52 percent of the verylong-term unemployed compared with about 60 percent in
1957. However, in July 1962 they comprised less than 40
percent of the civilian labor force. During this 5-year
period, the proportion of unskilled and semiskilled workers
(laborers and operatives) has declined appreciably in
contrast to a rise in the proportion of skilled craftsmen.
This latter development may reflect the lack of adequate
job recovery in both the construction and manufacturing
industries* In the case of less skilled workers, the decline
may signify that some workers tend to shift out of these
occupations after a spell of long-term unemployment. The
proportion of white-collar workers included among the
long-term unemployed has edged up during this time--from
17 to 22 percent. They represenetd 41 percent of the
civilian labor force in July 1962.

4.

Nonwhite workers now number nearly 3 out of every 10
persons who have been jobless for 6 months or mare,
compared with about 2 out of 10 in 1957. This is in
contrast to their proportion of the civilian labor force-11 percent in July 1962.

5.

Persons with no previous work experience accounted
for 10 percent of the very long-term unemployed in
July 1962 and 7 percent in 1957 while constituting only
1 percent of the labor force. These are primarily
youngsters seeking their first job.

Insured Unemployment
State insured unemployment rose by 120, 000 between June and July to 1. 6
million. . A moderate rise usually occurs at this time of year because of claims
from persons not eligible for pay while their plants are closed for vacation
periods. It is estimated that the number of persons who exhausted their benefit
rights in July was little changed from the 126, 000 in June. In July of last year
exhaustions totaled 209,000.
A total of 36 States reported increases in insured joblessness over the month.
Pennsylvania showed the largest rise (22,000) followed by Massachusetts (17,000),
New York (13,000), Florida (12,000), and New Jersey (10,000). Plant shutdowns
for vacation periods contributed to the larger volumes in the large industrial
States. The only sizable drop in insured unemployment--22, 000 in California-re suited in part from a pickup in construction activity following the settlement of
a labor dispute in the industry.
The rate of insured unemployment (not seasonally adjusted) moved up from 3. 6
percent in June to 3. 9 percent in July. A year ago, it was 4. 9 percent. Rates
of 5.0 percent or more this July were reported by Pennsylvania (6.1), West
Virginia (5.9), and Kentucky and Tennessee (5.1 each). (See chart 6. )
In addition to Pennsylvania, four other large industrial States ahd rates well
above the national average--Massachusetts (4.9), New Jersey (4.8), and
California and New York (4. 7 each). On the other hand, rates in Illinois
and Texas were less than 3. 0 percent.

Labor Force
The total labor force, including the Armed Forces, declined seasonally by
400, 000 over the month to 76. 4 million in July. As expected, adult women
(25 years of age and over) accounted for most of the month-to-month contraction.
Many of the women who drop out of the labor force in July are temporary farm
workers and school employees who do not look for summer jobs and do not
have definite contracts to return to work in the fall.
The total labor force in July was about a half million above its year ago level
(after allowance for the change in estimation procedures introduced in April
1962). This relatively slow over-the-year growth of the labor force has
persisted throughout most of this year, and also was apparent during the second
half of 1961.
In July as in the second quarter, labor force participation rates were below
or unchanged from a year ago in virtually every age-sex grouping with the
notable exception of women in the 55-64 age category (who continued their
upward trend). Older men, women in the 45 to 54 age group and teenage boys
all registered year-to-year declines. For older men and young boys, the drop
reflects a continuation of long-run trends, arising from earlier retirement
and extended schooling. For women, however, developments during the past
year represent a departure from previous trends.

Part -time Employment
Some 8. 0 million nonfarm workers were on part time during the July survey
week, a seasonal decline of 400, 000 from the previous month. All of this
over-the-month reduction took place among persons who usually work part time
because of voluntary, noneconomic reasons. This group stood at 5.4 million in
July, 400, 000 above year ago totals.
The number of nonfarm workers on part time for economic reasons remained
virtually unchanged at 20 7 million in July, although a slight decline is usually
expected at this time of the year. After allowance for seasonal changes, the
economic part-time group in July numbered 300, 000 above January 1962.
The trend has been irregularly upward since the beginning of the year,
particularly among persons who usually work full time but were on short workweeks
because of slack work and other economic reasons. (See chart
7. ) Although
the total number on part time for economic reasons was some 300, 000 below a
year ago, it continued to be higher than during the comparable 1956-57 period.

Labor Force Time Lost
The measurement of labor force time lost through the combined effects of unemployment and economic part-time employment remained steady over the month at
6. 6 percent (seasonally adjusted) although significantly below the July 1961 rate
(8O 2 percent)* On a seasonally adjusted basis, this series has shown virtually
no change since February 1962 and continues slightly above its prerecession rate.

*Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Two
groups averaging about one-quarter million workers which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work)—those
on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 days—were assigned to different classifications,
mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.
2
Not available.
beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force,
total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected.
•Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1960 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 labor for.ce, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciably
changed.
'Figures for periods prior to April 1962 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of 1960
Census data into the estimation procedure. The change primarily affected the labor force and employment totals, which were
reduced by about 200,000. The unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.

Explanatory Notes
Additional information concerning the preparation of the
labor force, employment, hours and earnings, and labor
turnover series—concepts and scope, survey methods, and
limitations—is contained in technical notes for each of
these series, available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics free of charge. Use order blank on page 9-E.

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
two major sources: (l) 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 ffiXXX) households in 333 areas
throughout the country and is based on the activity or status
reported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the
month.
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 weekly hours,
average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the
Nation, States, and metropolitan areas.

Hours of Work
The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers.
In the household survey data, all persons with a job but not at
work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on
paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included
and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid
during the reporting period.
Comparability of the household interview data with other series

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.
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. Ibpulation 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:
Employment

mt insurance data. The unemployed total
from the household survey includes all persons who did not work
at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were
waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been
laid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for
unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance
claims, prepared by the Bureau of Employment Security of the
Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their
benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local
government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work,
nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
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.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agri cultureT The principal differences in coverage are the indusion
of persons under 1^ in the Agricultural Marketing
dus
Service (AMB) 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.

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

nonfarm establishments.

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.

way.
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
Bnployment 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.)
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 1^ 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 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.
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.

The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance

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, commission, tips, or pay
in kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit.
Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in
their 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 Uo hours a week but who was off on the
Veterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even
though he was paid for the holiday.

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.

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.
Jtersons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey
week are designated as working "full time"; persons who worked
between 1 and 3^ 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.

Table A 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 A. The
standard errors of level shown in table A are acceptable approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.

ESTIMATING METHODS

Average standard error of--

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 principal 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. Nbninterview 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.
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:

The figures presented in table B are to be used for
other characteristics and are approximations of the standard
errors of all such characteristics. They should be interpreted
as providing an indication of the order of magnitude of the
standard errors rather than as the precise standard error for
any specific item.

a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the
known i960 Census data on the color-residence distribution of
the population. This step takes into account the differences
existing at the time of the i960 Census between the colorresidence distribution for the Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step,
the sample proportions are weighted by independent current estimates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimates
are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data
(i960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population,




Labor force and total employment

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

Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total
number of persons working a specific number of hours, as
15,000,000, an increase of 500,000 over the previous month,
linear interpolation in the first column of table B shows that
the standard error of 15,000,000 is about 16*0,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the sample
estimate differs by less than 160,000 from the figure which
would have been obtained from a complete count of the number
of persons working the given number of hours. Using the
16*0,000 as the standard error of the monthly level in table C,
it may be seen that the standard error of the 500,000 increase
is about 135,000.

Itayroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in
nonfarra establishments, by industry and geographic location.
Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out only one employment or labor turnover
schedule, which is then used for national, State, and area
estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of
respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques
at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic
comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare State and area
series and then send the data to the BLS for use in preparing
the national series. The BLS and the Bureau of Employment
Security jointly finance the current employment statistics program in kh States, the turnover program in k2 States.
Shuttle Schedules
The Form BLS 790 is used to collect employment, payroll, and man-hours data, and Form DL 1219 or BLS 1219 for labor
turnover data. These schedules are of the "shuttle" type, with
space for each month of the calendar year. The schedule is returned to the respondent each month by the collecting agency so
that the next month's data can be entered. This procedure
assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting, since
the respondent can see the figures he has reported for previous
months.

The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed
by using sample data for both numerator and denominator depends
upon both the size of the percentage and the size of the total
upon which the percentage is based. Where the numerator is a
subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are relatively more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates
of the numerator of the percentage, particularly if the percentage is large (50 percent or greater). Table D shows the
standard errors for percentages derived from the survey.
Linear interpolation may be used for percentages and base figures not shown in table D.

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 an industry class 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.
All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover series are classified in accordance
with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau of
the Budget, 1957. Since many of the published industry series
represent combinations of SIC industries, the BLS has prepared a
Guide to Employment Statistics of BLS, 196l which specifies the
SIC code or codes covered by each industry title listed in
Employment and Earnings. In addition, the Guide provides industry definitions and lists the beginning date of each series.
The Guide is available free upon request.
Prior to January 1959, all national, State, and area
series were classified in accordance with the following documents: (l) 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. State and area series were converted to the 1957
SIC beginning in January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958) and
national industry statistics were converted in the latter part of
1961 (with an overlap from 1958 to the month of conversion).
Consequently, back issues of Employment and Earnings will not
provide earlier data on a comparable basis. However, for many
industries, both BLS and the cooperating State agencies have constructed series for years prior to I958 which are comparable with
data starting with 1958 and based on the 1957 SIC. National data
for earlier periods comparable with those currently published are
available in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the

U-E

United States, 1909-60. Instructions for ordering this publication are provided on page 11-E. State and area data are
available from the cooperating State agencies listed on the back
cover of each issue of Employment and Earnings.

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

entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during
the period.

Employment, Hours, and Earnings

Benchmark Adjustments

Reports on employment and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours are collected monthly from sample establishments in nonagricultural industries. The table below 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.

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 industry
employment estimates are currently projected from March 1959
benchmarks. After allowing for the effect of shifts in products or activities resulting from conversion to the 1957
Standard Industrial Classification, and the changes in level
resulting from improved benchmark sources for employment not
covered by the social insurance systems, meaningful quantitative
comparisons can be made between estimates for March 1959 projected from the last previous benchmarks (1957) and the actual
March 1959 benchmark levels. This comparison reveals a difference of 0.6 percent for total nonagricultural employment, practically identical with the extent of the adjustment in March
1957, the last benchmark adjustment prior to the shift in
classification systems. The differences were less than 1.0 percent for four of the eight major industry divisions; under 2
percent for two other divisions; and 3.8 and 4.9 percent for the
remaining two divisions.

CONCEPTS
Industry Employment
Employment data for all except the Federal Government
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period endinp nearest the I'vth of the month.
For Federal Government establishments, employment fifmres represent the number of persons who occupied positions on the last
day of the calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if
they performed any service durinp 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 excluded from total nonapricultural
employment.
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), on




One significant cause of differences between benchmark
and estimate is the change in industrial classification of individual establishments, which is usually not reflected in BLS
estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other
causes are sampling and response errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled
by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under
State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are prepared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the Bureau of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments
exempt from State unemployment 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. Among improvements introduced in 1961, when
the industry statistics were converted to the 1957 Standard
Industrial Classification Manual, was the development of new and
better sources of benchmark data for employment either outside
the social insurance system or covered by it only on a voluntary
basis.
The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with the new benchmark levels, industry by industry.
Where revisions are necessary, the monthly series of estimates
are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one.
The new benchmark for each industry is then carried forward progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.
Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment while the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level.
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.
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 recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Nonsuperviapry 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 8ervices are closely associated with those of the employees listed.
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., for old-age and unemployment insurance, group insurance,
withholding tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for
overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly by
the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay
period), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other
payment in kind are excluded.

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 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.

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 man-hours
include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave
when pay is received directly from the firm.

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 a
worker with no dependents, and a worker with three dependents.
The computations are based on the gross average weekly earnings
for all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industry
division without regard to marital status, family composition,
or total family income.

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 averages for the current
month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 1957-59
dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since
the base period.

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 low-paid work
and changes in workers 1 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.

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 production-worker manhours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to
January 1956, these data were based on the application of adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described
in the Monthly labor Review, May 1950, pp. 5 3 7 - 5 ^ ) . 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 holiday
work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and
one-half.

Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period
of 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 nonsupervisory-employee definitions.

Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours
are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1957-59 period. The man-hour aggregates
are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker
employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of gross
average weekly earnings and production-worker employment.

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.

Labor Turnover

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.

Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employment status with respect to
individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a
calendar month, is divided into two broad types: Accessions
(new hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees, whether
full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive,
office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers.
Transfers to another establishment of the company are included,
beginning with January 1959.

Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross
average weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours and for
which premium payments were made. If an employee worked on a paid
holiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensation his
holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no
overtime hours would be reported.

Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll, including both new and
rehired employees.

Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in
the same direction, from month-to-month; for example, premiums may
be paid for hours in excess of the straight-time workday although
less than a full week is worked. Diverse trends at the industrygroup 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.

New hires are temporary or permanent additions to the
employment roll of persons who have never before been employed in
the establishment (except employees transferrinc from another
establishment of the same company) or of former employees not recalled by the employer.
Other accessions, which are not published separately
but are included in total accessions, are all additions to the
employment roll which are not classified as new hires including
transfers from another establishment of the company.

Railroad Hours and Earnings

Separations are terminations of employment during the
calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,
layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.

The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching

absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.

the State agencies listed on the inside back cover of each issue.
These statistics are based on the same establishment reports used
by BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sum
of the State figures may differ slightly from the equivalent
official U.S. totals on a national basis, because some States
have more recent benchmarks than others and because of the
effects of differing industrial and geographic stratification.

Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by
the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations of employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfer to another establishment of the company, and
entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 consecutive calendar days.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employment series
for the following reasons: (l) 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; and
(2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates
if the work stoppage extends through the report period.

Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring
seasonal movement which can be measured on the basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change which can be
ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observe
the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series.
However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern—
that is, changes in a seasonally adjusted series—it is important to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates
have a broader margin of possible error than the original data
on which they are based, since they are subject not only to
sampling and other errors but, in addition, are affected by the
uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment'process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor force and establishment data are published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these 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 basic method was published in the August i960
Monthly TfifrQfr Review.

ESTIMATING METHODS
Several major technical improvements were achieved in
1961, when the industry statistics were converted to the 1957
Standard Industrial Classification Manual. The benchmark tabulations obtained from State unemployment insurance agencies (see
section on benchmark adjustments), which formerly gave employment totals by industry, were tabulated to give separate totals
by size of establishment within industries for the first quarter
of each year beginning with 1959- Intensive analysis revealed
that significant improvements could be made for many of the
hours and earnings series if the employment estimates for certain industries were stratified by size of establishment and/or
by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisoryworker data were used in weighting the hours and earnings into
broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating
cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the term
is used in the summary of computational methods on page 8-E, may
be an industry size and/or regional stratum or it may be an
entire industry or combination of industries. Further analysis
will be made, as resources permit, to determine whether stratification will improve the estimates of labor turnover rates.

The seasonally adjusted series on weekly hours, and labor
turnover rates for industry groupings are computed by applying
factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, but seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees and production workers by industry divisions are obtained by summing the
seasonally adjusted data which are published for component industries. The factors currently in use are available upon request.
In the case of unemployment, data for four age-sex
groups (male and female unemployed workers under age 20, and age
20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and
are then added to give a seasonally adjusted total unemployment
figure. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived
by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment
(the sum of the four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by
the figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force.
Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of the labor
force to be applied to data for 1961 and later are provided in
the table below, since seasonally adjusted labor force series,
except for the unemployment rates, are not published regularly in
Employment and Earnings.

More advanced automatic electronic data-processing
equipment has also contributed to improving the program. The
advanced equipment, with its greater capacity, has made feasible
the increased number of computations required by the introduction of size cells, and facilitates closer qui lity control of
data input and output.

The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data
are based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors
are revised in the light of the pattern revealed by subsequent
data. Data through December I96I were used in deriving the current factors applicable to 1961-62. Revisions will be made annually as each additional year's data become available.

The general procedures used for estimating industry
employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics are
described in the table on page 8-E. Details are given in the
technical notes on Measurement of Employment, Hours, and
Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries and Measurement of
Labor Turnover, which are available upon request.
Reliability of Preliminary Estimates

Seasonal adjustment factors for the labor force and major
components, to be used for the period 196]L-62

For the most recent months, national estimates of
employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and so footnoted in the tables. These particular figures are based on
less than the full sample and consequently subject to revision
when all of the reports in the sample have been received.
Studies of these revisions in past data indicate that they have
been relatively small for employment and even smaller for hours
and earnings. Because of the change in the industrial classification system and in the estimating methods described above,
it will not be possible to determine the magnitude of the error
in preliminary estimates published for 1961 and subsequent
periods, until sufficient experience has been accumulated.
