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 u s e d as weights.
All
industry statistics shown in this report are adjusted to a March 1965 benchmark.
Data from
April 1965 forward are subject to revision at the
time of the next benchmark adjustment. The user
is referred to the technical note in the back of
this volume for further d e t a i l s regarding the
benchmark adjustments as well as other aspects
of the program.
Beginning with September 1966 and subsequent
issues of Employment and Earnings and Monthly
Report on the Labor Force, data in tables B-1
through B-6, C-l through C-8 and D-1 through
D-4 are based on M a r c h 1965 b e n c h m a r k s .
Therefore issues prior to September 1966 cannot
be used in conjunction with national industry data
now shown in sections B, C, and D. Comparable
d a t a f o r p r i o r p e r i o d s a r e p u b l i s h e d in
Employment and Earnings Statistics far the United
States, 1909-66, BLS Bulletin 1312-4.
When industry data are again adjusted to new
benchmarks, another edition of Employment and
Earnings Statistics for the United States will be
issued containing the revised data extending from
April 1965 forward to a current date, as well as
the prior historical statistics.
Quarterly data included in February, May, August, and November issues.
SUMMARY EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT
DEVELOPMENTS, NOVEMBER
1966
The employment situation improved in November after several months of
relatively little change. The following developments highlighted the employmentunemployment picture in November:
1. Better-than- seasonal employment pickups for adult women and teenagers
reduced jobless rates for both groups to their 1966 lows. The seasonally adjusted
nonagricultural employment gain for adult women (400, 000) in large part reflected
temporary jobs connected with the election.
2. Despite sharp improvements for most workers, the November unemployment
rates for unskilled laborers (8. 5 percent) and for workers in the construction industry
(9, 3 percent) were higher than a year earlier. The Negro unemployment rate (7e 4
percent) was down from a year earlier and from the 8. 0 percent level of the summer
months but remained 2-1/3 times as high as the white rate.
3. Payroll employment rose by nearly 300, 000 (seasonally adjusted) between
October and November, with most of the pickup coming in manufacturing, services,
and government. This series does not reflect the addition of temporary election help
in November.
40 Construction employment showed a small seasonally adjusted decline, the
fifth consecutive monthly decrease. November was the first month in 1966 when
construction employment was below the level of a year earlier,
5. Total unemployment showed only half the usual seasonal increase, and the
jobless rate declined from 3.9 to 3. 7 percent. The November rate was the same as
the February and April 1966 rates. The total unemployment rate was last below 3. 7
percent in November 1953.
Payroll Employment, Hours, and Earnings
Nonfarm payroll employment, which usually declines between October and
November, rose by 100, 000 to 65. 3 million. After seasonal adjustment, the increase
amounted to 275, 000 and was concentrated in manufacturing (100, 000), services
(65,000), and government (80,000). Since November 1965, payroll employment has
risen by 2. 9 million, with all sectors except mining and construction contributing to
the gain.
Employment in contract construction fell by 150, 000, slightly more than the
usual drop between October and November. The number of construction jobs has
declined by 200, 000 (seasonally adjusted) from the March 1966 peak.
The seasonally adjusted employment increase of 100, 000 in manufacturing was
widespread among the individual industries. Trade, services, and State and local
government each increased by between 25, 000 and 65, 000 in November.
The factory workweek, at 41. 3 hours in November, was down 0. 1 hour from
October, and from November 1965. After seasonal adjustment, the workweek was
also 410 3 hours, unchanged from October but down from the highs recorded earlier
in 1966. Seasonally adjusted overtime, which had been at a record high of 4. 1 hours
in the spring, declined to 3. 7 hours in Novembero
The average hourly earnings of manufacturing production workers rose 1 cent
to $2.76 in November, Weekly earnings, at $ 1130 99, were up slightly over the
month and were $4. 28 higher than a year earlier 0
Unemployment
Over the past year, total unemployment has declined by 325, 000 to 2, 650, 000.
Adult workers accounted for most of the drop. Teenage unemployment declined only
slightly, but the 450, 000 employment increase over the year was greater than the
teenage labor force expansion.
The jobless rate for adult men, 2. 4 percent in November, was unchanged from
the previous 2 months and was little different from that recorded earlier in 1966. The
November rates for women (3. 5 percent) and teenagers (11.0 percent) were both at
their lowest 1966 levels. From February to April 1966, the rate for adult women had
remained at 3. 6 percent, but it ranged from 3. 7 to 4. 0 percent between May and October.
Similarly, the teenage rate had increased from 11. 5 percent in the February-April
period to 12. 3 percent between May and October.
The November drop in the over-all unemployment rate was reflected in lower
jobless rates for most occupation and industry groups. An exception was the construction industry, where the unemployment rate was 9, 3 percent, up from about 7
percent in June and July. The jobless rate for blue-collar workers also increased
from 4. 1 to 4. 3 percent between October and November, reflecting higher rates for
both craftsmen and nonfarm laborers.
The index of labor force time lost declined to a record low of 3. 9 percent in
Novembero This measure represents man-hours lost by the unemployed and by those
on part time for economic reasons. Involuntary part-time employment in November
reached the lowest level since these data first became regularly available in May 1955.
Insured Unemployment
State insured unemployment rose by 105, 000 to 855, 000 between mid-October
and mid-November--about the expected increase for this time of year0 While all but
five States reported larger volumes in November, the increases amounted to more
than 10,000 in only two--California (24,500) and New York (16,900).
During the first 10 months of 1966, State insured unemployment averaged
1, 080, 000 per week or 21 percent less than during the same period in 1965. The

number of persons exhausting their State benefit rights, however, dropped by 29 percent between the two periods. As a result, the claimant exhaustion rate was down to
18 percent in October 1966--the lowest for any month since the start of this series in
January 1957.
The rate of insured unemployment (unadjusted) moved up from l0 6 to 1.8 percent
over the month. (On an adjusted basis, the rate remained at 2. 1 percent. ) Alaska' s
unadjusted rate showed a typical October-November upswing- -from 4. 1 to 7. 0 percent-and was by far the highest in the Nation. Only three other States--Nevada, California,
and Washington--had rates above 3. 0 percent. November 1966 rates were also above
the national average of 1, 8 percent in Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey. On
the other hand, in Texas, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and "Wisconsin, the rates
were well below the national average.
Total Employment and Labor Force
Total employment increased by nearly 300, 000 in November, although a sharp
drop is usual at this time of year. Most of the seasonally adjusted rise took place
among women and teenagers. The gain for adult women was primarily among workers
voluntarily on part time, reflecting a temporary pickup in employment connected with
the elections.
The total labor force, at nearly 81.0 million in November, was up by approximately 2. 4 million from a year earlier. The over-the-year increase in the Armed
Forces amounted to more than 500, 000, while the civilian labor force expanded by
1, 850, 000. The largest part of the civilian labor force expansion (l0 2 million) took
place among adult women, The gains for teenagers and adult men were 400, 000 and
200,000, respectively.
NEW
DEFINITIONS FOR EMPLOYMENT
AND UNEMPLOYMENT
An improved system for measuring employment and unemployment will go into
effect in January 1967, The changes will make the concepts of employment and unemployment more consistent with the public understanding of the terms, They will make
labor force statistics more useful for evaluating the condition of the economy and
making policy decisions, will clear up several ambiguities and uncertainties in the
definitions, and will provide additional information leading to new insights into manpower problems,,
The improvements are in line with the basic recommendations of the President1 s
Committee to Appraise Employment and Unemployment Statistics (the Gordon Committee), as set forth in the 1962 report of that Committeeo Since April 1964, the Bureau
of Labor Statistics has been conducting an experimental program, in cooperation with
the Census Bureau, to test the proposed changese A separate panel of 17, 500 households has been utilized for this purpose.
The changes will increase the accuracy of the data but will not substantially alter
the underlying conceptso In particular, the concept of unemployment will still relate
to jobless individuals who are currently available for work and seeking work. At the
same time, methods are being developed to identify and enumerate those jobless persons who are not seeking work because of remediable physical and psychological
handicaps, illiteracy, discouragement, lack of motivation, and other barriers 0
The principal improvements in definitions are as follows:
l0 The lower age limit for official statistics on employment, unemployment,
and other labor force concepts will be raised from 14 to 16 years of ageo Employed
youngsters of 14 and 15 work mainly as part-time newsboys, baby-sitters, etco , and
are barred from most occupations under the child labor laws. Unemployment in this
age group has little economic or social significance,. Data will be collected and published separately for the 14 and 15 year-olds, howevero Insofar as possible, the
historical series will be revised to provide consistent information based on the population 16 years of age and over.
20 To be counted as unemployed, an individual must be currently available for
worko In the past, the test of current availability was not appliedo A high school or
college student, for example, who began to look for summer work in April was counted
as unemployed in that month,even though he did not desire to work until the beginning
of vacation in Juneo
3. To be counted as unemployed, a person must have engaged in some specific
job seeking activity (going to the Employment Service, applying to an employer,
~~
answering a want-ad, etco ) within the past 4 weeks, (An exception is made for persons waiting to start a new job in 30 days or waiting to be recalled from lay off o ) In
the past, the household interview questionnaire has been ambiguous as to the time
period for jobseeking, and there has been no specific question concerning methods of
seeking work0
4. Persons with a job will be classified as employed, even though they were
absent from their jobs in the survey week and were looking for other jobs. Up to now,
persons absent from their jobs because of strikes, bad weather, etc. , who were
looking for other jobs were classified as unemployed. Henceforth, such persons will
be classified as employed.
5.o New !lprobing questions11 will be asked in order to increase the reliability of
information on hours of work, duration of unemployment, and the self employed0 For
example, many working proprietors of small incorporated businesses tend to classify
themselves as self employed, although actually they are employees. Clarification
of this point will reduce the discrepancy between employment statistics based on
household interviews and those based on establishment data.
While the unemployment figures will be based on the number of currently
available jobseekers, much more information will be obtained on persons not in the
labor force, with special emphasis on their potential availability for work. Questions
will be asked as to when such persons last worked, why they left their jobs, the nature
of those jobs, why they are not looking for work at the present time, and what their
intentions are to seek jobs in the futureo
For the period November 1965 through October 1966, a comparison of published
data with the experimental data indicates that:
--The elimination of 14 and 15 year-olds will reduce the number of
employed by about 1 million (mostly baby-sitters, newsboys, and
persons who help out in a family business without pay) and the
number of unemployed by about 60, 000 but will have no measurable
effect on the unemployment rate 0 All major series will be revised
for consistency back to 1948O
--The changes which will go into effect in January 1967 will not
affect the over-all unemployment rate by more than one-fifth
of a percentage point in either directiono
--The seasonal pattern of teenage unemployment is changed somewhat^
because those in school looking for summer jobs during the spring
will be eliminatedo The number of teenage unemployed will tend
to be lower in April, May, and June, but the annual average level
will not be greatly affected* Special procedures are being worked
out to handle the seasonal adjustment of teenage unemployment in 1967.
--The employment figures for persons 16 and over are not perceptibly
affected by the new definitionso However, the distribution of the
employed by hours of work and by "class of worker" (self employed,
wage and salary employee, etc, ) will be substantially changed because
of the new probing questions.
The February 1967 issue of Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the
Labor Force will carry detailed tables comparing the published figures for 1966 on an
annual average basis with the estimates derived from the new definitions and procedures.
Except for the deletion of 14 and 15 year-olds from the historical data, however, there
will be no general revision of the statistics published through the end of 1966. Most
of the differences between the old and the new series are relatively small; for most
analytical purposes, the data may be regarded as reasonably comparable. Users of
the data will be able to consult the detailed comparison tables to decide whether their
analyses and conclusions might be affected by the changes in definition
In addition to improving and expanding the monthly data on manpower resources
and utilization, the BLS is expanding its auxiliary program of special labor force
studies. More detailed research on labor force withdrawal and on the characteristics
of the underemployed is being planned. For example, a survey of men 20-64 years
of age not in the labor force is scheduled for February 1967. It will probe the
reasons such persons remain outside the labor force, their attitudes toward work and
work seeking, their health, their need for special assistance in finding work, and their
knowledge of job placement and training facilities.
A more detailed description of the new definitions will appear in the February
1967 issue of this magazine.

Introducing Hours Data and Indexes of Earnings
for All Employees in the Executive Branch
of the Federal Government
This issue of Employment and Earnings and MonthlyReport on the Labor Force introduces, for the first time,
average weekly hours data and indexes of average hourly
and weekly earnings for Civil Service employees in the
Executive Branch of the Federal Government. This addition
to the hours and earnings data published by the Bureau is
one step in a general program to extend the coverage to a
wider band of industries. Hours and earnings data are now
published for all production or nonsupervisory workers in
five of the eight major d i v i s i o n s of industry--mining ,
contract construction, manufacturing, trade, and finance ,
insurance, and r e a l estate--and for 7 5 percent of s u c h
workers in transportation and public utilities, 13 percent in
services, and 25 percent in government.
The series on Federal employees cover all employees ,
including both salaried workers and hourly-paid wage-board
employees, and are not c o m p a r a b l e with the hours and
earnings series published in the C-tables which relate to
production or nonsupervisory workers only.
These data for the Executive Branch are collected by
the Civil Service Commission. Employment figures r e p r e sent the number of persons who occupied positions on the
last day of the calendar month.
The hours and earnings
figures relate to all employees who worked or received pay
during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month.
The table on the following page presents the data from
the beginning of the series.
Current figures will appear
each month in table C-3 of this report.

*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 dayswere assigned to different classifications, mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.

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.
TData include Alaska and Hawaii beginning I960 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 force, four-fifths of this in nonagricukural 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 I960 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.
NOTE: Data for 1929-39 based on sources other than direct enumeration.

the data cover both salaried workers and hourly paid wage-board employees. Since these averages relate to hours and earnings of all workers, both supervisory and nonsupervisory, they are not
comparable to similar data presented in table C-2 which relate only to production or nonsupervisory workers.

Technical Note
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.
INTRODUCTION
Relation between the household and payroll series
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
three major sources: (1) household interviews, (2) payroll reports from employers; and (3) administrative
statistics of unemployment insurance systems.
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 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 comprehensive
data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed, including such characteristics as age, sex, color,
marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration
of unemployment. The information is collected by trained
interviewers from a sample of about 35,000 households,
representing 357 areas in 701 counties and independent
cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District of
Columbia. The data collected are based on the activity
or status reported for the calendar week including the
12th of the month.
Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences in definition and coverage, sources
of information, methods of collection, and estimating
procedures. Sampling variability and response errors
are additional reasons for discrepancies. The major
factors which have a differential effect on levels and
trends of the two series are as follows:
Employment

domestics and other private household workers), selfData based on establishment pay roll re cords are com- employed persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15

are the inclusion of persons under 14 in the Statistical
Research Service (SRS) 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.
for the time off. In the figures based on payroll reports,
persons on leave paid for by the company are included,
but not those on leave without pay for the entire payroll
period.
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 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 its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses
of business establishments. The major reasons for some
noncomparability are different treatment of business
units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, the
industrial classification of establishments, and different
reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are
also differences in the scope of the industries covered,
e.g., the Census of Business excludes contract construction, professional services, public utilities, and financial
establishments, whereas these are included in BLS
statistics.
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 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).
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 treatment of
central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrial classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes
interstate railroads and government, and coverage is
incomplete for some of the nonprofit activities.
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 covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are
covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All
workers in certain activities, such as interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small firms in covered
industries are also excluded in 32 States. In general,
these are establishments with less than four employees.

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 Household
Statistics on Employment and Unemployment from the
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population 14 years
and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of
the household 14 years of age and over. The inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,

Sunday through Saturday, which includes tne 12th of the

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.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 14 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.
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. A period of 2 weeks or more
during which a person was employed or ceased looking
for work is considered to break the continuity of the
present period of seeking work. Average duration is an
arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single
weeks of unemployment.
Each month, 35,000 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 1,500 of these households are visited
but interviews are not obtained because the occupants
are not found at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 4 percent. In addition
to the 35,000 occupied units there are 5,000 sample units
in an average month which are visited but found to be
vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of the
sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides
for three-fourths of the sample to be common from one
month to the next, and one-half to be common with the
same month a year ago.
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.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. This
measure can also be computed for groups within the labor
force classified by sex, age, marital status, color, etc.
CONCEPTS
Employed 'persons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all as paid employees, in
their own business profession, or on farm, or who worked
15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise
operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those
who were not working or looking for work but who had
jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily
absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labormanagement dispute, or personal reasons, whether or
not they were paid by their employers for the time off.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 14 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.
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.
Occupation,
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.
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.
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

employed 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 unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time civilian job lasting 2 weeks
or more. The occupation and industry groups used in
data derived from the CPS household interviews are
defined as in the 1960 Census of Population. Information
on the detailed categories included in these groups is
available upon request.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and
salary workers," subdivided into private and government
workers, "self-employed workers," and "unpaid family
workers." Wage and salary workers receive wages,
salary, commission, tips, or pay in kind from a private
employer or from a governmental unit. Self-employed
persons are those who work for profit or fees in their
87
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.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of
the results for a given month become available simultaneously and are based on returns from the entire
panel of respondents. There are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark data on labor force,
employment, or unemployment. Therefore, revisions of
the historical data are not an inherent feature of this
statistical program.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
a person who normally works 40 hours a week but who
was off on the Veterans Day holiday would be reported
as working 32 hours even though he was paid for the
holiday.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed
to account for occupied sample households for which no
information was obtained because of absence, impassable
roads, refusals, or unavailability 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 4 to 6 percent
depending on weather, vacations, etc.
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. Persons on full-time
schedules include, in addition to those working 35 hours
or more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomic reasons but usually work full time.
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:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by
the known 1960 Census data on the color-residence
distribution of the population. This step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the 1960
Census between the color-residence distribution for the
Nation and for the sample areas.
Full-and part-time labor force. The full-time labor
force consists of persons working on full-time schedules,
persons involuntarily working part time (because fulltime work is not available) and unemployed persons
seeking full-time jobs. The'part-timelabor force consists
of persons working part time voluntarily and unemployed
persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job but
not at work during the survey week are distributed proportionately between the full-time and voluntary parttime employment categories.
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 (1960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality, and migration between the United S t a t e s and other countries.
Labor force time lost is a measure of man-hours
lost to the economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed
as a percent of potentially available man-hours.
It is computed by assuming: (1) that unemployed
persons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours, (2) that those looking for parttime work lost the average number of hours actually
worked by voluntary part-time workers during the
survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for
economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5
hours and the a c t u a l n u m b e r of hours they
worked.
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.
88
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.
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 of the change in an item from
one month to the next month is more closely related to
the standard error of the monthly level for that item than
to the size of the specific month-to-month change itself.
Thus, in order to use the approximations to the standard
errors of month-to-month changes as presented in table
C, it is first necessary to obtain the standard error of
the monthly level of the item in table B, and then find the
standard error of the month-to-month change in table C
corresponding to this standard error of level. It should
be noted that table C applies to estimates of change between 2 consecutive months. For changes between the
current month and the same month last year, the standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable
approximations.
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 2 out of 3 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.
Table A shows the average standard error for the
major employment status categories, by sex, computed
from data for past 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.

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
160,000. 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

Establishment Data
on Labor Turnover. 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.
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonfarm establishments, by industry and geographic location.
Federal-State Cooperation
The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments and, for most industries,
payroll and man-hours of production and related workers
or nonsupervisory workers for the pay period which
includes the 12th of the month. The labor turnover
schedule provides for the collection of information on
the total number of accessions and separations, by type,
during the calendar month.
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,
insures maximum comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and
completeness. The States use the information to prepare
State and area series and then send the data to the BLS
for use in preparing the national series.

whether working at the site of construction or in shops
or yards, at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling)
ordinarily performed by members of the construction
trades.
All national, State, and area employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover series are classified in
accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual9 Bureau of the Budget, 1957, as amended by the
1963 Supplement.
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.
Industry Employment
Employment data except that for the Federal Government refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for any part of the pay period which includes
the 12th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, employment figures represent the number of
persons who occupied positions on the last day of the
calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if they
performed any service during the month.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who
received pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th 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 over*
time, 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.
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 nonagricultural employment.
Man-hours cover man-hours worked or paid for,
during the pay period which includes the 12th of tha month,
for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers.
The man-hours include hours paid for holidays*and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly
from the firm.
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm),
on paid holiday or paid, vacation, or who work during a
part of the pay period and are unemployed or on strike
during the rest of the period, are counted as employed.
Not counted as employed are persons who are laid off,
on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period,
or who are hired but do not report to work during the
period.
Overtime hours cover premium overtime hours of
production and related workers during the pay period
which includes the 12th 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.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related
workers in manufacturing and mining, construction
workers in contract construction, and nonsupervisory
employees in the remaining nonfarm components. For
Federal Government, hours and earnings relate to all
employees who worked or received pay during the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month. Terms are
defined below. When the pay period reported is longer
than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weekly basis.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings are on a "gross" basis,
reflecting not only changes in basic hourly and incentive
wage rates, but also such variable factors as premium
pay for overtime and late-shift work, and changes in
output of workers paid on an incentive plan. Shifts in the
volume of employment between relatively high-paid and
low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings
averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individual
industries.
Production and related workers include working
foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing,
assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling,
flacking, 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.
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, how~
ever, does not measure the level of total labor costs on

the part of the employer since the following are excluded:
Irregular bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various
welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and
earnings for those employees not covered under the production-worker, construction worker, or nonsupervisoryemployee definitions.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by
changes in gross average hourly earnings, but also by
changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work,
stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and
absenteeism.
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.
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.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not
necessarily move in the same direction, from month-tomonth; 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.
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 and his marital
status, as well as on the level of his gross income. To
reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed
for a worker with no dependents, and a married worker
with three dependents. The computations are based on
the gross average weekly earnings for all production or
nonsupervisory workers in the industry division without
regard to total family income.
"Real11 earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for
the current month. The level of earnings is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base
period (1957-59).
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime pay are computed by dividing the total productionworker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total
production-worker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January 1956, these data were
based on the application of adjustment factors to gross
average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly
Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
l\ 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.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and manhours are prepared by dividing the current month's
aggregate by the monthly average for the 1957-59period.
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.
Labor Turnover
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 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.
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employed status with
respect to individual establishments. This movement,
which relates to a calendar month, is divided into two
broad types: Accessions (new hires and rehires) and
separations (terminations of employment initiated by
either employer or employee). Each type of action is
cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees,
whether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary,
including executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers. Transfers to another
establishment of the company are included, beginning
with January 1959.
Accessions are the total number of permanent and
temporary additions to the employment roll, including
both new and rehired employees.
ratio estimation, and (2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and (3) the use of size
and regional stratification.
New hires are temporary or permanent additions to
the employment roll of persons who have never before
been employed in the establishment (except employees
transferring from another establishment of the same
company) or of former employees not recalled by the
employer.
The "Link Relative" Technique
From a sample composed of establishments reporting
for both the previous and current months, the ratio of
current month employment to that of the previous month
is computed. This is called a link relative. The estimates
of employment (all employees, including production and
nonproduction workers together) for the current month
are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these "link relatives." Other features of
the general procedures are described later in the table,
Summary of Methods for Computing Industry Statistics
on Employment, Hours, Earnings, and Labor Turnover.
Further details are given in the technical notes on
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.

Separations are terminations of employment during

Quits, layoffs, and other separations, are defined as

over, which are available upon request.
Size and Regional Stratification
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight
the hours and earnings into broader industry groupings.
Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an employment,
hours, or earnings series, as the term is used in the
summary of computational methods may be a whole
industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size
stratum of a region within an.industry.
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized absences, if on the last day of the month the
person has been absent more than 7 consecutive calendar
days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days,
initiated by the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Benchmark Adjustments
0 the r sep arations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations
of employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and entrance into the Armed Forces
for a period expected to last more than 30 consecutive
calendar days.
Employment estimates are periodically compared
with comprehensive counts of employment which provide
"benchmarks" for the various nonagricultural industries,
and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The
industry estimates are currently projected from March
1965 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.
Comparability With Employment Series
The primary source of benchmark information is the
employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by
State agencies from reports of establishments covered
under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, covering three-fourths of the total nonfarm employment in the United States, are prepared under the
direction of the Bureau of Employment Security. Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and a number of other agencies
in private industry or government.
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates
are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's
employment series for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month; and (2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions
although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates if the work stoppage extends through the
report period.
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series
of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark
and the preceding one, and the new benchmark for each
industry is then carried forward progressively to the
current month by use of the sample trends. Thus, under
ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the

ducing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be
obtained which will provide coverage of a sufficiently
large segment of the universe to provide reasonably
reliable estimates that can be published promptly and
regularly. The present sample meets these specifications for most industries. With its use, the BLS is able
to produce preliminary estimates each month for many
industries and for many geographic levels within a few
weeks after reports are mailed by respondents, and at a
somewhat later date, statistics in considerably greater
industrial detail. The tendency of such a sample to
produce biased estimates of the level of earnings for
certain industries is counteracted by the stratified
estimating procedure d e s c r i b e d under "Estimating
Methods."
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.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which
the series has been adjusted are therefore subject to
revision. To provide users of the data with a convenient
reference source for the revised data, the BLS publishes
as soon as possible after each benchmark revision a
summary volume of employment, hours, earnings, and
labor turnover statistics.
THE SAMPLE
Design
Coverage
The sampling plan used in the current employment
statistics program is an optimum allocation design known
as "sampling proportionate to average size of establishment." The universe of establishments is stratified first
by industry and then within each industry by size of
establishment in terms of employment. For each industry
the total size of sample is distributed among the size
class cells on the basis of average employment per
establishment in each cell. In practice, this is equivalent
to distributing the predetermined total number of establishments required in the sample among the cells on the
basis of the ratio of employment in each cell to total
employment in the industry. Within each stratum the
sample members are selected at random.
The BLS sample of establishment employment and
payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the
field of social statistics. The table that follows 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.
Approximate size and coverage of BLS employment
and payrolls sample, March 19651
Employees
Under this type of design, large establishments fall
into the sample with certainty. The size of the samples
for the various industries is determined empirically
on the basis of experience and of cost considerations.
In a manufacturing industry in which a high proportion of
total employment is concentrated in a relatively few
establishments, a large percentage of total employment
is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample
design for such industries provides for a complete
census of the larger establishments with only a few
chosen from among the smaller establishments or none
at all if the concentration of employment is great
enough. On the other hand, in an industry in which a
large proportion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all
large establishments, and also for a substantial number
of the smaller ones. Many industries in the trade and
service divisions fall into this category. In order to keep
the sample to a size which can be handled by available
resources, it is necessary to accept samples in these
divisions with a smaller proportion of universe employment than is the case for most manufacturing industries.
Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show less fluctuation from
regular cyclical or seasonal patterns than establishments
in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples
(in terms of employment) generally produce reliable
estimates.

Reliability of the Employment Estimates
The estimates derived from the establishment survey
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 relatively
large size of the BLS establishment sample assures a
very high degree of accuracy. Therefore, sampling
variability as expressed in standard errors of the
estimate is of little consequence, particularly with
respect to month-to-month changes. However, since the
use of the link relative technique requires the use of the
previous month's estimate as the base in computing the
current month's estimate, small sampling and response
e r r o r s may cumulate over several months. To remove
this accumulated error, the estimates are adjusted to
new benchmarks annually. In addition to the sampling
and response errors, the benchmark revision adjusts
the estimates for changes in the industrial classification
of individual establishments (resulting from changes in
their product which are not reflected in the levels of
estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks.)
In fact, at the more detailed industry levels, particularly
within manufacturing, changes in classification are the
major cause of benchmark adjustments. Another cause
of differences, generally minor, arises from improvements in the quality of the benchmark data. (A detailed
description of the March 1965 benchmark is available
from the Bureau upon request.)

The entire difference between the estimate and
benchmarks is assumed to have accumulated at a regular rate. Accordingly, the all employee series, for
months between the current and the last preceding
benchmark, are adjusted by tapering out the difference
back from the current benchmark to the last previous
benchmark. The series for months subsequent to the
benchmark month are revised by projecting the level
of the new benchmark by the trend of the unadjusted
series.

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area employment, hours; earnings, and
labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State
agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics
relate to • metropolitan areas. Definitions for all areas
are published each year in the issue of Employment and
Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force that contains State and area annual averages. Changes in
definitions are noted as they occur. Additional industry
detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed
on the inside back cover of each issue. These statistics
are based on the same establishment reports used by
For the most recent months, national, State, and area
estimates are preliminary and are so footnoted in the
tables. These figures are based on less than the total
sample and are revised when all the reports in the
sample design have been received.

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.
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE DATA
Insured unemployment represents the number of persons reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment insurance program. It includes some persons
who are working part time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and household surveys. Excluded
are persons who have exhausted their benefit rights, 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-employment, unpaid
family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a
minimum size). The rate of insured unemployment is the
number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent of
average covered employment in a 12-month period ending
6 to 8 months prior to the week of reference. Initial
claims are notices filed by those losing jobs covered by
an unemployment insurance program that they are starting a period of unemployment. A claimant who continues
to be unemployed a full week is then counted in the
insured, unemployment figure.
Because of differences in State laws and procedures
under which unemployment insurance programs are operated, State unemployment rates generally indicate, but
do not precisely measure, differences among the individual States. Persons wishing to receive a detailed
description of the nature, sources, inclusions and exclusions, and limitations of unemployment insurance data
should address their inquiries to Bureau of Employment
Security, Washington, D.C.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring
seasonal movement which can be estimated on the basis
of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change
which can be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is
possible to observe the cyclical and other nonseasonal
movements in the series. However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal 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 and Monthly Report on the
Labor Force.
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. Indexes of
aggregate weekly man-hours seasonally adjusted, for
mining, contract construction, and the major industries
in manufacturing are obtained by multiplying average
weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production workers,
seasonally adjusted and dividing by the 1957-59 base.
For total, manufacturing, and durable and nondurable
goods, the indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours,
seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggregate weekly man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for the
appropriate component industries and dividing by the
1957-59 base.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal Government are based on a series which excludes
the Christmas temporary help employed by the Post
Office Department in December. The employment of these
workers constitutes the only significant seasonal change
in Federal Government employment during the winter
months. Furthermore, the volume of such employment
may change substantially from year to year because of
administrative decisions by the Post Office Department.
Hence, it was considered desirable to exclude this group
from the data upon which the seasonally adjusted series
is based. Factors currently in use for the establishment
data are shown in the September 1966 Employment andEarnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force, and
revisions will be made coincidental with the adjustment
of series to new benchmark levels.
The seasonal adjustment method used lor these series
is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average
method, with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors
to take account of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed
description of the method is given in the booklet, The BLS
Seasonal Factor Method (1966), which may be obtained
from the Bureau on request. An earlier version of the
method is described in Appendix G of the 1962 Report of
the President's Committee to Appraise Employment and
Unemployment Statistics, Measuring Employment and
Unemployment.
For establishment data, tne seasonally adjusted
series on weekly nours and labor turnover rates for
industry groupings are computed by applying factors

seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the sum of
twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).
For each of the three ma jor labor force components—
agricultural and nonagricultural employment, and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and
female workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then
added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In order
to produce seasonally adjusted total employment and
civilian' labor force data, the appropriate series are
aggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted
figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the
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. Revised seasonally adjusted
series for major components of the labor force based on
data through December 1965 are published in the February
1966 Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on
the Labor Force. Revisions will be made annually as each
additional year's data become available.
