Employment and Unemployment
Developments, November 1969
Unemployment dropped sharply in November,
while nonfarm employment was virtually unchanged. The overall unemployment rate, which
had risen substantially in September and r e mained about the same in October, fell from 3.9
to 3.4 percent in November, a return to the August level.
Unemployment rates for secondary workers—teenagers, adult women, and part-time
workers—were reduced significantly over the
month. Among primary breadwinners—adult
men, married men, and all full-time workers—
rates of unemployment also moved down, but
more moderately. Jobless rates for blue-collar
and manufacturing workers, however, remained
at their October levels.
to 24), and adult women. Jobless rates for
teenagers fell from 13.0 to 11.6 percent, for
young men from 6.5 to 5.3 percent, and for adult
women from 4.0 to 3.5 percent. The over-themonth declines for teenagers and women reduced
these unemployment rates to the post-Korean
lows of early 1969, while the rate for young men
dropped to its mid-summer level.
Jobless rates also moved down for adult men
(2.2 percent), married men (1.5 percent), and all
full-time workers (3.0 percent), although not to
the same extent as for the more marginal
workers. The rates of joblessness among these
primary workers dropped back to their August
levels but were somewhat above their postKorean lows of early 1969.
Nonfarm payroll employment remained virtually unchanged in November, after seasonal
adjustment, but would have increased modestly
except for a large net rise in the number of
manufacturing workers off payrolls because of
strikes. (Workers on strike are not counted as
employed in the payroll employment series,
whereas they are classified as employed
with
a job but not at work
in the household series.)
The slowdown in the pace of payroll employment
growth, which began in July, remained evident
in November. After a l l o w a n c e for strikes,
monthly payroll employment advances have
averaged only 80,000 in the June-November
period compared to 240,000 in the November
1968 to June 1969 period.
Despite the declines in jobless rates for
most groups of workers, rates for blue-collar
workers (4.2 percent) and for persons who had
last worked in the manufacturing industry (3.8
percent) were unchanged over the month. These
rates have risen gradually since late spring. For
workers covered under State unemployment
insurance programs, the jobless rate move
from 2.2 to 2.4 percent over the month. Their
rate has also inched upward since late spring.
Unemployment
Industry Employment
The number of unemployed persons totaled 2.7
million in November. Unemployment usually
rises at this time of year, but this November it
dropped, as a number of workers unemployed in
October either found jobs or left the labor force.
After seasonal adjustment, unemployment was
down by 360,000 from October, withnearlyallof
the decline among workers who were either new
entrants or re-entrants to the labor force.
Nonfarm payroll employment was virtually
unchanged in November but would have shown
a modest gain (about 100,000) except for substantially increased strike activity, particularly
in manufacturing. Employment gains were r e ported in State and local government (50,000)
and trade and construction (35,000 each).
The November drop in unemployment was
primarily among teenagers, young men (age 20
Rates of unemployment for white workers
(3.1 percent) and Negro workers (6.2 percent)
were both down over the month. The November
rates were about the same as in August but
slightly above the rates posted in early 1969.
Manufacturing employment d e c l i n e d by
175,000 between October and November. Most
of this decline was attributable to new strike
activity in the durable goods industries, primarily in electrical equipment. However, small
employment declines were also reported in most
other durable goods industries. The nondurable
goods industries reported a job gain of 50,000
in November. Nearly all of the increase occurred in the food industry, reflecting the end of a
strike and a rise from the artificially low October employment level in this industry which
resulted from a late survey week.
Workweek
The workweek for all rank-and-file workers
on private nonagricultural payrolls declined
seasonally in November. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the average workweek was unchanged at 37o6 hours, after falling 0,2 hour
in October. Except for February 1969, when
hours of work were affected by unusually bad
weather, this was the lowest level reported since
late 1968. A decline in average hours in trade
offset longer workweeks in other major industry divisions. The average workweek in manufacturing was unchanged over the month, following a 0.3 hour decline to 40.5 hours in the previous month. The manufacturing workweek was
at its lowest level in more than 1-1/2 years
(with the exception of February 1969).
For the second month, factory overtime declined, edging down over the month by 0.1 hour to
3.4 hours (seasonally adjusted). In the durable
goods sector, overtime registered a 0.3 hour
drop from October and was at its lowest point in 2
years (with the exception of April 1968). Since
September, overtime in durables has declined
by one-half hour. Overtime hours in nondurable
goods industries were unchanged in November.
Earnings
Average hourly earnings for production and
nonsupervisory workers on private payrolls
were unchanged in November at $3.11. Hourly
earnings were up 19 cents, or 6.5 percent,from
a year ago.
Average weekly earnings fell by 62 cents in
November to $116.63, reflecting the seasonal
decrease in average weekly hours. Over-themonth declines in construction and trade offset
the gains registered in manufacturing and finance, insurance, and real estate. Compared to
a year ago, average weekly earnings were up by
$7.13 (6.5 percent).
Labor Force and Total Employment
The civilian labor force totaled 81,4 million
workers in November, about 2.2 million more
than a year ago. On a seasonally adjusted basis,
nearly three-fifths of the over-the-year rise occurred between November 1968 and February
1969. Labor force growth in recent months has
slowed significantly.
Total employment was 78.7 million, up 2.1
million over the year. Total nonagricultural
employment, which rose sharply in late 1968
and early 1969, has shown only moderate growth
in the summer and fall of this year. Employment
in agriculture has been on an unusually sharp
downward trend since February, although it
edged up in November.
New Data on Persons Not in the Labor Force
by Paul O. Flaim*
Regular publication of new data on persons
not in the labor force—that is, those who are
neither working nor looking for work—begins
with this issue of Employment and Earnings
and will continue on a quarterly basis. Presentation of these data is designed to answer
such questions as: How many of the persons
outside the labor force want work but are
prevented from looking for a job because of
illness, home responsibilities, or other impediments? How many of them are "discouraged
workers," that is, persons who are willing and
able to work but think that any search for a job
would be in vain? How many have worked previously, and when and why did they leave their
last job? How many intend to seek work in the
near future? 1/
The new information on nonparticipants in
the labor force is based on data collected for
the Bureau of Labor -Statistics by the Bureau
of the Census as part of the Current Population
Survey (CPS). This nationwide sample survey is
conducted monthly in about 50,000 households
and provides the basic national labor force and
unemployment data. To obtain the new data, a
series of special questions on nonparticipation
in the labor force—questions 24A through 24E—
were added beginning in January 1967. (A portion
of the questionnaire showing these questions
appears on page 6.)
Because a person's reasons for being outside
the labor force are not likely to change from 1
month to another, the CPS interviewers ask
the special questions in only 1 of the 4 consecutive monthly visits to the household. 2/
Repeating the questions every month would unnecessarily lengthen the interview and may even
lead to a reduction in cooperation from some
of the respondents.
Since the new data on persons not in the
labor force are derived from only one-fourth
of the CPS sample (or about 12,500households),
they are subject to somewhat greater sampling
variability than are estimates based on the full
sample. It is mainly for this reason that the
results are presented on a quarterly average
basis. Standard errors for these quarterly data
may be approximated by applying a factor of 1.4
to the standard errors of the monthly data from
the entire CPS sample, shown in tables B, C,
and D of the "Technical Note" in the back of
this publication.
Comparability with Other Data
The new quarterly data on the nonparticipants
in the labor force are designed to supplement
some limited data which always have been available from the CPS and appear monthly in table
A-3 of this publication. The data in this table,
however, describe only the major activity of the
nonparticipants, who are classified as either "in
school," "keeping house," "unable to work," or
"other reasons."
By asking the additional questions, some of
the nonparticipants now can be placed in two
additional categories which better describe their
reasons for being outside the labor force. These
two categories are: "retirement or old age" and
"think cannot get job." More importantly, how
many of the nonparticipants want jobs and how
*Of the Division of Employment and Unemployment Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
1/ Some of these new data on the reasons
for nonparticipation in the labor force already
have been presented and analyzed in a recent
Special Labor Force Report. See PaulO. Flaim,
"Persons Not in the Labor Force: Who They
Are and Why They Don't Work," Monthly Labor
Review, July 1969, pp. 3-14. A companion r e port now being prepared will focus on the nonparticipants as a labor force reserve.
2/ A household selected for the CPS sample
is visited by interviewers for an initial period
of 4 consecutive months. The household is then
dropped from the survey for an 8-month interval
before being returned to the sample for a second
4-month period.
many intend to seek work in the future can now be
determined. Additional i n f o r m a t i o n also is
gathered about their education, previous work
experience, and reasons for leaving their last
job.
The classification of the nonparticipants on
the basis of the data obtained through this special
series of questions (24A-D) is carried out as
follows: If he states that he wants a job (24C),
he is generally classified according to the
reasons for not seeking work cited in answer
to 24D, with ill health and disability given priority over other reasons. If he does not want a
job when interviewed but has worked during the
preceding 5 years, the nonparticipant is classified either on the basis of his major activity
during the reference week (question 19) or his
reasons for leaving his last job (24B), whichever is deemed to describe more accurately
his current status. If he neither wants a job
when interviewed nor has worked in the preceding 5 years, his classification is based
solely on his activity during the reference
week.
The classification system for the new data
on the nonparticipants is not without some problems and limitations. One such problem arises
when persons give more than one reason for not
seeking work. When this occurs, they are generally classified according to the reason or
impediment which is deemed to be the most
serious obstacle to participation. Under this
system, ill health and disability are given priority over other reasons. Thus, a woman citing
both family responsibilities and poor health as
reasons for not seeking work would be placed
in the "ill health, disability" category. Although
both conditions may be equally forbidding to her,
she could conceivably make some arrangement
whereby she could work despite the family needs,
but she would generally have much less control
over her health conditions.
Because of technical problems arising from
separate estimating procedures, the total number of nonparticipants as computed from the onefourth sample may differ slightly from data
derived from the entire CPS. For most demographic groups, these differences are usually
very minor.
More important differences between the two
series of data arise in the classification of the
nonparticipants according to their reasons for
not seeking work. These differences are outlined schematically at the end of this article.
The Tables
The new quarterly data on persons not in the
labor force will be presented in 10 special
tables. In addition to classifying the nonparticipants according to their reasons for being outside the labor force, these tables also will
contain information on the job desire of these
persons, their previous work experience, and
their future jobseeking intentions.
Three of the 10 tables—1, 6, and 9—will present data only for the most recent quarter. The
other seven tables will present data for the comparable year-ago quarter as well as for the most
recent one. The 10 tables which are published
in this issue on pages 10-17 cover the third
quarter of 1969, and seven of them also present
comparable data for the third quarter of 1968.
In addition to these 10 tables, which will be
published on a regular quarterly basis, this issue
contains a series of special tables which present
historical quarterly data on persons outside the
labor force from the first quarter of 196 7 through
the second quarter of 1959. Whereas the data in
the regular tables are presented by age group
as well as by sex and race, the special tables
contain no age detail and more limited coverage
of other characteristics.

PRINCIPAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN TWO SERIES OF DATA ON
NONPARTICIPATION IN LABOR FORCE
Data obtained through regular
interview of all nonparticipants
in CPS sample
Data obtained through special series of
questions asked of one-fourth of
nonparticipants in CPS sample
"Going to school"—Includes all the nonparticipants who report "going to school" as their
major activity during the reference week (question 19).
"In school"—In addition to all the nonparticipants
who report "going to school" as their major
activity during the reference week (question 19),
this group includes a small number of persons
who, in response to 24D, give "in school or other
training" as their reason for not seeking work.
As a result, the number of "in school" nonparticipants obtained through the additional questions asked of one-fourth of the CPS sample is
slightly higher (about 1 percent) than the number
obtained through the regular interview of the
entire sample.
"Unable to work"—-This group includes only
those persons who are afflicted by a physical or
mental ailment or disability which is expected
to prevent them from working for at least 6
months.
"Ill health, disability"—This group includes all
persons who attribute their nonparticipation in
the labor force to ill health or disability, r e gardless of the intensity or expected duration of
the condition afflicting them. Consequently, the
number of nonparticipants placed in the "ill
health or disability .category" is about twice as
large as the number of nonparticipants classified
as "unable to work."
"Keeping house"—This group includes all those
persons (mostly women) who report housekeeping as their major activity during the reference
week.
"Home responsibilities"—This category of nonparticipants is roughly synonymous to the "keeping house" group obtained from the entire CPS
sampleo However, it excludes those persons
who, although having kept house during the reference week, cite an illness or disability as
the reasons for leaving their last job or as an
obstacle to current work-seeking, or who think
that it would be impossible for them to find a
job. Because of this, the average number of
persons placed in the "home responsibilities"
category runs about 6 to 7 percent lower than the
number classified as "keeping house."
^ ^ § £ ^ § ^ 9 5 ^ ^ ~ " T n i s g r 0 U P includes all nonparticipants whose activity during the reference
week does not fall within the three categories
discussed above. (In the new data obtained from
"Retirement or old age"—The nonparticipants
placed in this category through the additional
questions are part of those who fall within the
"other reasons" category in data collected from
Data obtained through regular
interview of all nonpar tic ipants
in CPS sample
Data obtained through special series of
questions asked of one-fourth of
nonparticipants in CPS sample
one-fourth of the CPS sample, this group
of nonparticipants is divided roughly into the
three groups listed in the opposite column:
"Retirement or old age," "think cannot get job,"
and "all other reasons.")
the entire sample. However, this group does
not include all persons who might consider
themselves "retired" in terms of having permanently separated themselves from their jobs.
As used here, the retirement or old age concept
applies, first of all, only to persons 60 years and
over who have not worked during the previous
5 years and to persons who, regardless of their
age, have left their last job because of "retirement or old age." Even within these two groups,
however, a person is not classified as retired
if reported as either wanting a job, keeping house
(which allows few women to be classified as
retired), or if prevented from seeking work by
an illness or disability.
"Think cannot get job"—This category includes
all nonparticipants who say they want a job(24C)
but add that they think it would be impossible
for them to find work (24D). These persons are
often referred to as "discouraged workers."
l—This group includes all the
nonparticipants who, even on the basis of their
responses to the additional questions, cannot be
placed in any of the five categories discussed
above.

Age Adjustments to Occupational Employment Data
The minimum age coverage revision for labor
force data from 14 to 16 years in January 1967
prompted a number of immediate adjustments
to insure historical comparability. One such
adjustment at that time was for occupational
employment statistics. Annual average revisions covering the 1958-66 period for the 11
major occupations first appeared in the July
1967 issue of Employment and Earnings, with
further breakdowns by sex in the December
1967 issue.
certain minor estimating procedures could not
be used, the availability of these retabulations
permitted a differential adjustment of the detailed occupation statistics, which were ratioed
to published employment controls by color and
sex for 14 and 15 year-olds. When these specially calculated occupational estimates for 14
and 15 year-olds were resubtracted from the
original 14-year-and-over data, comparable 16
and over estimates of detailed occupation by sex
and color became available.
During the last few years, interest in occupational detail by color has greatly increased.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics, accordingly,
undertook a complete reexamination of the comparability adjustment procedures in order to
extend the 16-and-over revisions to color, sex,
and more detailed occupations. The nine tables
on pages 27-35 present the results of the r e examination.
For years prior to 1966, adjustments were
calculated based upon the following four controls:
(1) total employment levels for 14-15 year-olds
by sex and color for 1958-65, (2) detailed occupation statistics on 14-17 year-olds by sex for
the years 1958-65, (3) unpublished dataon 14-15
year-olds by the major occupations and sex,
covering the 1961-65 period, and (4) the detailed
occupational distribution by color from the 1966
calculations. The first of these four Was the
overall control, while the other three were the
individual occupation controls.
The adjustment process used to develop these
new estimates was considerably more exacting
than the earlier one and was facilitated by utilizing all available information pertinent to 14 and
15 year-olds by sex and occupation for the 195866 period. The procedures were actually divided
into two separate techniques, one for 1966 and
the other for the years 1958-65.
In 1966, the entire set of statistics had been
retabulated on a 16-year-and-over basis in order
to assist in the analysis of differences due to the
age change. Although not precisely comparable
to the official estimates for that year because
Because of the more detailed methods, the
revised occupation group totals differ somewhat from the earlier estimated annual average
occupational data for the 1958-66 period, which
have appeared in Employment and Earnings,
The Manpower Report of the President, The
Handbook of Labor Statistics, and other publications. The new estimates should now be used in
lieu of the previously published data. A comparable monthly series on total employment by
major occupations will be available in early 1970.

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 16 years of age and
over. 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 survey also
provides data on the characteristics and past work experience of those not in the labor force. The information
is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of
about 50,000 households, representing 449 areas in 863
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
Coverage. The household survey definition of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including
domestics and other private household workers), selfemployed persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15
hours or more during the survey week in family-operated
enterprises. Employment in both agricultural and nonagricultural industries is included. The payroll survey
covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls
of nonagricultural establishments.
Data basedon establishment pay roll 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. The figures are based on payroll reports
from a sample of establishments employing about 30
million nonagriculture wage and salary workers. The
data relate to all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period which includes the
12th of the month.
Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population
without duplication since each person is classified as
employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job are counted
only once and are classified according to the job at
which they worked the greatest number of 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.
Data based on administrative records of unemployment
insurance systems furnish a complete count of insured
unemployment among the two-thirds of the Nation's
labor force covered by unemployment insurance programs. Weekly reports, by State, are issued on the
number of initial claims, the volume and rate of insured
unemployment under State unemployment insurance programs, and the volume under programs of unemployment
compensation for Federal employees, ex-servicemen,
and railroad workers. These statistics are published by
the Manpower Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,
in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."
Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey includes among the employed all persons who had jobs but
were not at work during the survey week—that is, were
not working but had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or because they were
taking time off for various other reasons, even if they
were not paid by their employers for the time off. In
1 35
are the inclusion of persons under 16 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.
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 have a job 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
t h e M a n p o w e r A d m i n i s t r a t i o n 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 employment, 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 nonagricultural 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 31
States. In general, these are establishments with less
than four employees.

of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage

Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other characteristics of
the employed, the unemployed, and persons not in the
labor force, and related 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 Manpower
Statistics from the Current Population Survey" (BLS Re-
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years
and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of
the household 16 years of age and over. The inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,
136
Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of the
month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 16 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.
Each month, 50,000 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 2,250 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 4.5 percent. In addition to the 50,000 occupied units,there are 8,500 sample
units in an average mo nth 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.
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 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 but who had jobs or businesses
from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management
dispute, or personal reasons, whether or not they were
paid by their employers for the time off, and whether or
not they were seeking other jobs.
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.
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.
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. 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.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment
are divided into four major groups. (1) Job losers are
persons whose employment ended involuntarily who immediately began looking for work and persons on layoff.
(2) Job leavers are persons who quit or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily and immediately
began looking for work. (3) Reentrants are persons who
previously worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
longer but who were out of the labor force prior to beginning to look for work. (4) New entrants are persons
who never worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
longer.
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.
The job-loser, job-leaver, reentrant, and new entrant
rates are each calculated as a percent of the civilian
labor force; the sum of the rates for the four groups
thus equals the total unemployment rate.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 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.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous
work experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for
a job at the time of interview, and reasons for not looking
for work are compiled on a quarterly basis. The detailed
questions for persons not in the labor force are asked
only in those households that are new' entrants to the
sample and in those that are reentering the sample after
8 months* absence.
Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did
not work during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job within the past 4 weeks, and who were
available for work during the survey week (except for
temporary illness). Also included as unemployed are
those who did not work at all, were available for work,
and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the
they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a
employed apply to the job held in the survey week. Pernew wage or salary job within 30 days.
1 37
sons 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
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.
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.
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.
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-time labor 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 classified ac-
cording to whether they usually work full or part
time.
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.
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.
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.
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 a 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.
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 migra1 38
tion between the United S t a t e s and other countries.
Table A. Average standard error of major
employment status categories
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 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.

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 mo nth-to-month change itself.
Thus, in order to use the approximations to the standard
errors of month-to-month changes as presented in table

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.
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
133,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of
100. that the sample estimate differs by less than 133,000
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 133,000 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
126,000.

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.

Establishment Data
COLLECTION
State and area series and then send the establishment
data to the BLS for use in preparing the national series.
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonagricultural establishments, by industry and
geographic location.
Shuttle Schedules
Two types of data collection schedules are used:
Form BLS 790-Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll,
and Hours; and Form DL 1219-Monthly Report on Job
Openings and Labor Turnover. These schedules are of
the " s h u t t l e " type, with space for each month of the
calendar year. The c o l l e c t i n g agency returns the
schedule to the respondent each month 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.
Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out a single employment or labor
turnover reporting form, 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

or nonsupervisory workers for the pay period which
includes the 12th of the month. Form DL 1219 provides

month, and was revised in January 1969 to provide for
the collection of job openings data as well.

CONCEPTS
Industrial Classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and
Form DL 1219 are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined
from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected each year on a supplement to the
monthly 790 or 1219 report. For an establishment making
more than one product or engaging in more than one
activity, the entire employment of the establishment is
included under the industry indicated by the 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, 1967.
Industry Employment
Employment data, except those for the Federal Government, refer to persons on establishment payrolls who
received pay for any part of the pay period 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.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed,
unpaid volunteer, or family workers, farm workers, and
domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of
corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; military personnel are
excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls 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 have not reported to work during
the period.
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.
Construction workers include the following employees
in the contract construction division: working foremen,
journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, laborers, etc.,
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.
Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not
above the working supervisory level) such as office and
clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators,
drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social
workers, research aids, teachers, draftsmen, photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant workers,
custodial workers, attendants, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and
other employees whose services are closely associated
with those of the employees listed.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who
received pay for any part of the pay period 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 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), tips, and the value of
free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are
excluded. "Fringe benefits" (such as health and other
types of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc. paid
by the employer) are also excluded.
Man-hours cover man-hours paid for, during the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month, for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers. The manhours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and
for sick leave when pay is received directly from the
firm.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Overtime hours cover hours worked by production or
related workers for which overtime premiums were paid
because the hours were in excess of the number of hours
of either the straight-time workday or the workweek during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month.
Weekend and holiday hours are included only if overtime

months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
premiums were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums
were paid are excluded.
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.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated
period of time; rates are the amounts stipulated for a
given unit of work or time. The e a r n i n g s series
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.
Hours and Earnings For Total Private Nonagricultural
Industries
This series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions except government. The principal source of payroll
data is Form BLS 790. Secondary source material such
as Employment and Wages (Manpower Administration),
County Business Patterns (Bureau of the Census), and
additional supporting information such as The Hospital
Guide, Part II, of the American Hospital Association and
special studies by the National Council of Churches
supplement data for certain industry groups within the
service division.
For a technical description of this series, see the
article, "Hours and Earnings for Workers in Private
Nonagricultural Industries," published in the May 1967
issue of Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report
on the Labor Force.
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 except
executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC group I)
who received pay during the month. 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.
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.
Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
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 overtime premiums were
paid. 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, overtime 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 industry-group level also may be caused by a marked change
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
gross average weekly earnings for all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industry division excluding
other income and income earned by other family members.
"Real" 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).
14 2
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium
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
1| 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 1957-59 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.
Labor Turnover
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.
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.
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 axe terminations of employment during
the calendar month and are classified according to cause:
Quits, layoffs, and other separations, are defined as
follows*.
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.
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 las.t more than 30 consecutive
calendar days.
Relationship to 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 Bureaus
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.
ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the
use of the "link relative" technique, which is a form of
ratio estimation, (2) periodic adjustment ot employment levels to new benchmarks, and (3) the use of size
and regional stratification.
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. In addition, small
bias correction factors are applied to selected employment estimates each month. The size of the bias correction factors is determined from past experience.
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 onMeasurement of Employment, Hours, and
Earnings in Non-agricultural Industries and on Measurement of Labor Turnover, 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 produc143
tion- 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.
Benchmark Adjustments
THE SAMPLE
Employment estimates are compared periodically
with comprehensive counts of employment which provide
"benchmarks" for the various nonagriculturalindustries,
and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The
industry estimates are currently projected from March
1968 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.
The primary sources of benchmark information are
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 no nagricultural
employment in the United States, are prepared under the
direction of the Manpower Administration. 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.
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
this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the
level of employment; the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level. A comparison of
the actual amounts of revisions made in the last 3
benchmark years follows:

Design
The sampling plan used in the current employment
statistics program is known as "sampling proportionate
to average size of establishment." This design is an
optimum allocation design among strata since the sampling variance is proportional to the average size of
establishments. 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 number of sample units 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 noncertainty stratum the sample members are selected at
random.
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 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. 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.
In the context of the BLS employment and labor
turnover statistics programs, with their emphasis on pro-
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 table below shows the approximate coverage, in
terms of employment, of the labor turnover sample.

Since a few establishments do not report payroll and
man-hour information, hours and earnings estimates may
be based on a slightly smaller sample than employment
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 high degree
of accuracy. However, since 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 errors may cumulate over several
months. To remove this accumulated error, the estimates
are adjusted annually to new benchmarks. 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 1968 benchmark is available from the Bureau upon request.)
One measure of the reliability of ratio estimates is
the root mean square error (RMSE). This measure is the
standard deviation adjusted for the bias in ratio estimates
(RMSE =Y(Standard Deviation)2 + (Bias) 2 ). If the bias
is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate
from the sample would differ from its benchmark by less
than the root mean square error. The chances are about
19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice
the root mean square error.
Approximations of the root mean square errors (based
on the experience of the last several years) of differences
between final estimates and benchmarks are presented in
the following table.
revision that may be expected between the preliminary
and final levels of employment and preliminary and final

and earnings estimates are normally not greater than .1

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 that contains State and area annual averages
(usually the May issue). Changes in definitions are
noted as they occur. Additional industry detail may be
obtained from the State agencies listed on the inside
back cover of each issue. 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.

Assuming 12-month intervals between benchmark
revisions.
For the most recent months, estimates of employment, hours, and earnings 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 have been received. The table below

For the States and the areas shown in the B and C
sections of this periodical, all the annual average data
for the detailed industry statistics currently published
by each cooperating State agency are presented (from
the earliest date of availability of each series) in a
summary volume published annually by the BLS.
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 Manpower Administration, Washington, D.C.

labor force and establishment data are published regularly

For each of the three major 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
seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the sum of
twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).
The seasonal adjustment method used for 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.
For establishment data, 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. However, seasonally adjusted employment totals for all
employees and production workers by industry division
are obtained by summing seasonally adjusted data for
the 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 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 1968 are published in the February
1969 Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on
the Labor Force. Revisions will be made annually as each
additional year's data become available.
ATTENTION
As discussed in the Technical Note, the Bureau periodically 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. Industry data for all national series shownin this report have been adjusted to March
1968 benchmarks. Data from April 1968 forward are subject to revision at the time of the next benchmark.
Beginning with the July 1969 and subsequent issues of Employment and Earnings, the national data in sections B,
C, andD supersede those published in previous issues, as well as those appearing in the Handbook of Labor Statistics,
1969. Comparable data will be published in Employment and Earnings, United States, 190 9-69, BLS Bulletin 1312-7.
