Employment and Unemployment
Developments, November 1984
Unemployment declined in November and employment rose. The overall unemployment rate fell from 7.3
to 7.0 percent, and the rate for civilian workers dropped
from 7.4 to 7.2 percent. Although both measures had
shown little movement in recent months, they were
more than a full percentage point below year-earlier
levels.
Civilian employment—as measured by the monthly
survey of households—rose by nearly 300,000 in
November to 105.9 million. The number of nonagricultural payroll jobs—as measured by the monthly
survey of establishments—also was up by about 300,000
to 95.5 million. Since the November 1982 recession
trough, each employment series has advanced by 6.8
million.
Unemployment
The number of unemployed persons fell by 275,000 in
November to a seasonally adjusted level of 8.2 million,
and the civilian worker unemployment rate declined twotenths of a percentage point to 7.2 percent. Since
November 1982, the jobless total has declined by 3.7
million, while the unemployment rate has dropped by 3.5
percentage points. (See table A-33.)
The over-the-month improvement was shared by
several of the major worker groups. Jobless rates for
adult women (6.6 percent) and teenagers (17.5 percent)
declined, while that for adult men (6.3 percent) was unchanged. Also, there were reductions for whites (6.1 percent) and Hispanics (10.0 percent) and little change for
blacks (15.0 percent). (See tables A-33 and A-34.)
All of the decline in unemployment over the month occurred among those who were jobless for less than 6
months. At 1.4 million, the number of persons jobless
for 6 months or more has held at about this level in recent
months, after declining markedly between mid-1983 and
this past summer. (See table A-40.)
The number of job losers fell by 215,000 from
October. Job losers, with a decrease of 1 million over the
past year, accounted for the bulk of the total decline in
unemployment of 1.3 million. (See table A-41.)
Civilian employment and the labor force
Civilian employment rose by 285,000 in November to
105.9 million, seasonally adjusted. The over-the-month
gain occurred primarily among adult women. Civilian
employment was up by 3.2 million over the year—1.8
million adult men and 1.5 million adult women. (See
table A-33.)
The civilian labor force was 114.0 million in
November, unchanged from October. The proportion of
the civilian working-age population in the labor force
(the labor force participation rate) was 64.4 percent, also
the same as in the previous month. Over the year, the
labor force grew by about 2 million, and the participation
rate was up by 0.4 percentage point.
Industry payroll employment
Total nonagricultural payroll employment increased
by 300,000 in November to 95.5 million, seasonally adjusted. As in recent months, growth was concentrated in
the service-producing sector. Since July, the number of
jobs in this sector has risen by a million, while there has
been virtually no growth in the goods-producing industries. Since November 1982, two-thirds of the
6.8-million job gain has occurred in the service sector.
(See table B-4.)
The largest November increases were in retail trade
(115,000) and services (90,000). In retail trade, strong
growth took place in general merchandise stores, while
both business and health services contributed to the rise
in services. Elsewhere in the service-producing sector,
modest gains were recorded in transportation and public
utilities; finance, insurance, and real estate; and
wholesale trade.
Manufacturing employment was little changed over the
month. In fact, at 19.7 million in November, the number
of factory jobs was about the same as in July. Over this
period, jobs in durable goods have increased, while there
has been a decline in nondurable goods.
Construction employment increased by 30,000 in
November to 4.4 million. This was 620,000 greater than
the March 1983 employment low but still 170,000 less
than the January 1980 employment peak. In mining, continued gains in oil and gas extraction offset declines
elsewhere in the industry.
Weekly hours
The average workweek of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonagricultural payrolls rose
0.1 hour in November, as did weekly and overtime hours
in manufacturing. For the past several months,
the overall and manufacturing workweeks have been
fluctuating around the November levels of 35.2 and 40.5
hours, respectively. (See table C-5.)
The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or
nonsupervisory workers on private nonagricultural
payrolls rose by 0.7 percent in November to 114.0
(1977 =100). The index was up about 5 percent over the
year and more than 11 percent from the November 1982
level. The manufacturing index was up 0.3 percent in
November to 96.0. (See table C-6.)
Hourly and weekly earnings
Average hourly earnings rose 0.6 percent in
November, and weekly earnings were up 0.9 percent,
seasonally adjusted. Prior to seasonal adjustment,
average hourly earnings increased 3 cents to $8.44, and
average weekly earnings were up 21 cents to $296.24.
Over the past year, hourly earnings rose 28 cents and
weekly earnings $9.82. (See tables C-l and C-7.)
The Hourly Earnings Index
The Hourly Earnings Index (HEI) was 162.1
(1977=100) in November, seasonally adjusted, an increase of 0.4 percent from October. For the 12 months
ended in November, the increase (before seasonal adjustment) was 3.1 percent. The HEI excludes the effects
of two types of changes unrelated to underlying wage
rate movements—fluctuations in overtime in manufacturing and interindustry employment shifts. In dollars
of constant purchasing power, the HEI decreased 0.8
percent during the 12-month period ended in October.
(See table C-7.)
Next month, with the issuance of data for December, this publication will incorporate annual revisions in seasonally adjusted unemployment and other labor
force series. Seasonally adjusted data for the most recent 5 years are subject to
revision.

Explanatory Notes
Introduction
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from two
major sources: (1) Household interviews, and (2)
reports from employers.
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, race, family relationship,
marital status, occupation, and industry attachment.
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 60,000 households, representing
629 areas in 1,148 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 based on establishment records are compiled
each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, in coooeration with State agencies. The
establishment survey is designed to provide industry information on nonagriculutral wage and salary employment, average weekly hours, average hourly earnings,
and average weekly earnings for the Nation, States, and
metropolitian areas. The employment, hours, and earnings series are currently based on payroll reports from a
sample of over 200,000 establishments employing over
35 million nonagricultural 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 day of the month.
RELATION BETWEEN THE HOUSEHOLD AND
ESTABLISHMENT SERIES
The household and establishment data supplement
one another, each providing significant types of information that the other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for example, are readily obtained
only from the household survey whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from
establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences in definitions and coverage,
116
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, unpaid workers who worked 15
hours or more during the survey week in familyoperated enterprises, and members of the Armed Forces
stationed in the United States. Civilian employment in
both agricultural and nonagricultural industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary
employees on the payrolls of nonagricultural
establishments.
Multiple jobholding. The household survey 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 reports, persons who worked in more
than one establishment during the reporting period are
counted each time their names appear on payrolls.
Unpaid absences from jobs. The housheold survey includes among the employed all civilians 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 disputes, 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 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.
For a comprehensive discussion of the differences
between household and establishment survey.employment data, see Gloria P. Green's article "Comparing
Employment Estimates From Household and Payroll
Surveys," Monthly Labor Review, December 1969.
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, production or nonsupervisory
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.
Earnings
The household survey measures median earnings of
wage and salary workers in all occupations and industries in both the private and public sectors. Data
refer to the usual earnings received from the worker's
sole or primary job. Data from the establishment survey
generally refer to average earnings of production and
related workers in mining and manufacturing, construction workers in construction, and nonsupervisory
employees in private service-producing industries. For a
comprehensive discussion of the household survey earnings series, see Technical Description of the Quarterly
Data on Weekly Earnings from the Current Population
Survey, BLS Bulletin 2113.
COMPARABILITY OF THE HOUSEHOLD 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, whether or not
they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Figures
on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by the
Employment and Training Administration 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 (some workers in agriculture, domestic services,
and religous organizations, and self-employed and unpaid family workers). Beginning in January 1978,
coverage was extended to include domestic workers
whose employers paid $1,000 or more in wages in any
calendar quarter, agricultural employees whose
employers engaged 10 or more workers in 20 weeks or
paid a total of $20,000 or more in wages in any calendar
quarter, and almost all State and local government
employees.
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.
For an examination of the similarities and differences
between State insured unemployment and total
unemployment, see "Measuring Total and State Insured
Unemployment" by Gloria P. Green in the June 1971
issue of the Monthly Labor Review.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department
of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are
the inclusion of persons under 16 in the Economics and
Statistics Service series and the treatment of dual
jobholders, who are counted more than once if they
work 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.
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 Census from its censuses or sample surveys of
manufacturing and business establishments. The major
reasons for 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 professional services, public utilities, and financial
establishments, whereas these are included in the BLS
statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Patterns (CBP), published by the Bureau of the Census,
U.S. Department of Commerce, 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.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Most nonagricultural wage and salary
workers are covered by the unemployment insurance
programs. However, certain activities, such as interstate
railroads, parochial schools, and churches are not
covered by unemployment insurance whereas these are
included in this BLS establishment statistics.

COLLECTION AND 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 Labor Force
Statistics Derived from the Current Population Survey,
BLS Report 463. Historical national data are published
in Labor Force Statistics Derived From the Current
Population Survey: A Databook, Bi s Bulletin 2096.
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population.
Respondents are interviewed to obtain information
about the employment status of each member of the
household 16 years of age and over. Separate statistics
are also collected for 14- and 15-year-olds. The inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,
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 14 years of
age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations, and arc excluded from the population and labor
force statistics shown in this report. Data on the
members of the Armed Forces stationed in the United
States, who are included as part of the categories
"noninstitutional population," "labor force," and
"total employment," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
Each month about 60,000 occupied units are eligible
for interview. About 2,500 of these households are
visited but interviews are not obtained because the occupants are not at home after repeated calls or are
unavailable for other reasons. This represents a
noninterview rate for the survey of between 4 or 5 percent. In addition to the 60,000 occupied units, there are
11,000 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 1 month to the next and onehalf to be common with the same month a year earlier.
CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
The concepts and definitions underlying labor force
data have been modified, but not substantially altered,
since the inception of the survey in 1940; those used
since 1967 are as follows:
Employed persons are (a) all civilians who, during the
survey week, did any work at all as paid employees, in
their own business, profession, or on their own farm, or
118
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, labormanagement disputes, or personal reasons, whether
they were paid for the time off or were seeking other
jobs. Members of the Armed Forces stationed in the
United States are also included in the employed total.
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 who are temporarily in the United States but
not living on the premises of an embassy. Excluded are
persons whose only activity consisted of work around
the house (painting, repairing, or own home
housework) or volunteer work for religious, charitable,
and similar organizations.
Unemployed persons are all civilians who had no
employment during the survey week, were available for
work, except for temporary illness, and (a) had made
specific efforts to find employment sometime during the
prior 4 weeks, or (b) were waiting to be recalled to a job
from which they had been laid off, or (c) were waiting to
report to a new job within 30 days.
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. Measurements of mean and median duration are
computed from a distribution of single weeks of
unemployment.
Unemployment is also categorized according to the
status of individuals at the time they began to look for
work. The 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 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. Each of these four categories of the unemployed
may be expressed as an unemployment rate or proportion of the entire civilian labor force; the sum of the
four rates thus equals the unemployment rate for all
civilian workers.
Jobseekers are all unemployed persons who made
specific efforts to find a job sometime during the 4-week
period preceding the survey week. Jobseekers do not include those persons unemployed because they (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 job
within 30 days. Jobseekers are grouped by the methods
used to seek work, including going to a public or private
employment agency or to an employer directly, seeking
assistance from friends or relatives, placing or answering ads, or utilizing some other method. Examples of
the "other" category include being on a union or professional register, obtaining assistance from a community organization, or waiting at a designated labor pickup
point.
The civilian labor force comprises all civilians
classified as employed or unemployed in accordance
with the criteria described above. The "labor force"
also includes members of the Armed Forces stationed in
the United States.
The overall unemployment rate represents the
number unemployed as a percent of the labor force, including members of the Armed Forces stationed in the
United States.
The unemployment rate for all civilian workers
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,
race, Hispanic origin, marital status, etc.
Participation rates represent the proportion of the
population that is in the labor force. The labor force
participation rate, is the ratio of the labor force, including the resident Armed Forces, to the noninstitutional population. The civilian labor force participation
rate is the ratio of the civilian labor force to the civilian
noninstitutional population. Civilian labor force participation rates are usually published for sex-age groups,
often cross-classified by other demographic
characteristics such as race and educational attainment.
Employment-population ratios represent the proportion of the noninstitutional population that is
employed. The total employment-population ratio is
total employment, including the resident Armed Forces,
as a percent of the noninstitutional population. The
civilian employment-population ratio is the percentage
of all employed civilians in the civilian noninstitutional
population.
Not in the labor force includes all persons 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, retired, and other. The
"other" group includes individuals reported as too old
or temporarily unable to work, the voluntarily idle,
seasonal workers for whom the survey week fell in an
off season and who were not reported as looking for
work, and persons who did not look for work because
they believed that no jobs were available in the area or
that no jobs were available for which they could
qualify—discouraged workers. Persons doing only incidental, unpaid family work (less than 15 hours in the
specified week) are also classified as not in labor force.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous
work experience, intentions to seek work, desire for a
job at the time of interview, and reasons for not looking
for work are published on a quarterly basis. As of
January 1970, the detailed questions for persons not in
the labor force are asked only in those households that
are in the fourth and eighth months of the sample, i.e.,
the "outgoing" groups, those which had been in the
sample for 3 previous months and would not be in for
the subsequent month. Between 1967 and 1969 these
questions were asked in those households entering the
sample for the first time and those returning for the second 4 months of interviewing, i.e., the "incoming"
groups.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the
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 last full-time job lasting 2 weeks or more.
The classifications of occupations and industries used in
data derived from the CPS are defined as in the 1980
census. 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 government 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 birth or marriage.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
persons who normally work 40 hours a week but were
off on the Columbus Day holiday would be reported as
working 32 hours even though they were 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; all the hours are credited to the major
job.
119
The distribution of employment by hours worked
relates to persons at work during the survey week. Atwork data differ from data on total employment
because the latter include persons in the zero-hoursworked category, with a job but not at work. Included
in this latter group are persons who were on vacation,
ill, involved in a labor dispute, or otherwise absent from
their jobs for voluntary, noneconomic reasons.
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 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 a 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 to 34 hours for noneconomic
reasons and usually work full time.
The full-time labor force consists of persons working
on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily working
part time (part time for economic reasons), and
unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The parttime 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 according to whether they
usually work full or part time.
Labor force time lost is a measure of aggregate hours
lost to the economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed as a
percent of potentially available aggregate hours. It is
computed by assuming that: (1) Unemployed persons
looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours,
(2) those looking for part-time work lost the average
number of hours actually worked by voluntary parttime workers during the survey week, and.(3) persons on
part time for economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5 hours and the actual number of hours they
worked.
White, blacky and other are terms used to describe the
race of workers. Included in the "other" group are
American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asians and
Pacific Islanders. All tables in this publication which
contain racial data, with the exception of A-5 and its annual counterpart, present data for the black population
group. Because of their relatively small sample size,
data for "other" races are not published. In the
enumeration process, race is determined by the
household respondent.
120
Hispanic origin refers to persons who identified
themselves in the enumeration process as Mexican,
Puerto Rican living on the mainland, Cuban, Central or
South American, or of other Hispanic origin or descent.
Persons of Hispanic orgin may be of any race; thus they
are included in both the white and black population
groups.
Vietnam-era veterans are those who served in the
Armed Forces of the United States between August 5,
1964, and May 7, 1975. Data are limited to men in the
civilian noninstitutional population; i.e., veterans in institutions and women are excluded. Nonveterans are
men who never served in the Armed Forces.
Usual weekly earnings data are provided from
responses to the question "How much does...USUALLY earn per week at this job before deductions?" Included are any overtime pay, commissions, or tips
usually received. The term "usual" is as perceived by
the respondent. If the respondent asks for a definition
of usual, interviewers are instructed to define the term
as more than half the weeks worked during the past 4 or
5 months. Data refer to wage and salary workers (excluding the incorporated self-employed) who usually
work full time on their sole or primary job.
Median earnings indicate the value which divides the
earnings distribution into two equal parts, one part having values above the median and the other having values
below the median. The medians as shown in this
publication are calculated by linear interpolation of the
$10 interval within which each median falls.
The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U) is used to deflate the earnings series.
Single, never married; married, spouse present; and
other marital status are terms used to define the marital
status of individuals at the time of interview. Married,
spouse present, applies to husband and wife if both were
reported as members of the same household even
though one may be temporarily absent on business,
vacation, on a visit, in a hospital, etc. Other marital
status applies to persons who are married, spouse absent; widowed; or divorced. Married, spouse absent, includes persons who are separated because of marital
discord, as well as persons who are living apart because
either the husband or the wife was employed and living
away from home, serving in the Armed Forces, or had a
different place of residence for any reason.
A household consists of all persons—related family
members and all unrelated persons—who occupy a housing unit. A house, an apartment, a group of rooms, or a
single room is regarded as a housing unit when occupied
or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters.
A householder is the person (or one of the persons) in
whose name the housing unit is owned or rented. The
term is never applied to either husbands or wives in
married-couple families but relates only to persons in
families maintained by either men or women without a
spouse.
Family refers to a group of two or more persons
residing together who are related by birth, marriage, or
adoption; all such persons are considered as members of
one family even though they may include a related subfamily, that is, a married couple or a parent-child group
related by birth or marriage to the householder and
sharing the living quarters. The count of families used in
this publication excludes unrelated subfamilies such
as lodgers, guests, or resident employees living in a
household but not related to the householder. Families
are classified either as married-couple families or as
families maintained by women or men without spouses.
A family maintained by a woman or a man is one in
which the householder is either single, widowed, divorced, or married, spouse absent. Data on the earnings of
families exclude all those in which there is no wage or
salary earner or in which the husband, wife, or other
persons maintaining the family is either self-employed
or in the Armed Forces.
HISTORICAL COMPARABILITY
Change in lower age limit
The lower age limit for official statistics on the labor
force, employment, and unemployment was raised from
14 to 16 years of age in January 1967. Insofar as possible, historical series have been revised to provide consistent information based on the population 16 years and
over. For a detailed discussion of this and other definitional changes introduced at that time, including
estimates of their effect on the various series, see "New
Definitions for Employment and Unemployment,"
Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the
Labor Force, February 1967.
Noncomparability of labor force levels
In addition to the changes introduced in 1967, there
are several other periods of noncomparability in the
labor force data: (1) Beginning in 1953, as a result of introducing data from the 1950 census into the estimating
procedures, population levels were raised by about
600,000; labor force, total employment, and
agricultural employment were increased by about
350,000, primarily affecting the figures for totals and
men; other categories were relatively unaffected. (2)
Beginning in 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii
resulted in an increase of about 500,000 in the population and about 300,000 in the labor force-four-fifths of
this increase was in nonagricultural employment; other
labor force categories were not appreciably affected. (3)
Beginning in 1962, the introduction of data from the
1960 census reduced the population by about 50,000 and
labor force and employment by about 200,000;
unemployment totals were virtually unchanged. (4)
Beginning in 1972, information from the 1970
census was introduced into the estimation procedures,
increasing the population by about 800,000; labor force
and employment totals were raised by a little more than
300,000; and unemployment levels and rates wers essentially unchanged. (5) A subsequent population adjustment based on the 1970 census was introduced in March
1973. This adjustment, which affected the white and
black-and-other groups but had little effect on totals,
resulted in the reduction of nearly 300,000 in the white
population and an increase of the same magnitude in the
black-and-other population. Civilian labor force and
total employment figures were affected to a lesser
degree; the white labor force was reduced by 150,000,
and the black-and-other labor force rose by about
210,000. Unemployment levels and rates were not
significantly affected.
In addition, beginning in January 1974, the
methodology used to prepare independent estimates of
the civilian noninstitutional population was modified to
an inflation-deflation approach. This change in the
derivation of the estimates had its greatest impact on
estimates of 20- to 24-year-old men—particularly those
of the black-and-other population—but had little effect
on estimates of the total population 16 years and over.
Additional information on the adjustment procedure
appears in "CPS Population Controls Derived from
Inflation-Deflation Method of Estimation", in the
February 1974 issue of Employment and Earnings.
Effective in July 1975, as a result of the immigration
of Vietnamese refugees into the United States, the total
and black-and-other independent population controls
for persons 16 years and over were adjusted upward by
76,000-30,000 men and 46,000 women. The addition of
the refugees increased the black-and-other population
by less than 1 percent in any age-sex group, and all of
the changes were in the other population.
Beginning in January 1978, the introduction of an expansion in the sample and revisions in the estimation
procedures resulted in an increase of about 250,000 in
the civilian labor force and employment totals;
unemployment levels and rates were essentially unchanged. An explanation of the procedural changes and
an indication of the differences appear in "Revisions in
the Current Population Survey in January 1978" in the
February 1978 issue of Employment and Earnings.
Beginning in October 1978, the race of the individual
was determined by the household respondent for the incoming rotation group households, rather than by the
interviewer as before. The purpose of this change was to
provide more accurate estimates of characteristics by
race. Thus, in October 1978, one-eighth of the sample
households had race determined by the household
respondent and seven-eighths of the sample households
had race determined by interviewer observation. It was
not until January 1980 that the entire sample had race
121
determined by the household respondent. The new procedure had no significant effect on the estimates.
Beginning in January 1979, the first-stage ratio
estimation method was changed in the CPS estimation
procedure. Differences between the old and new procedures exist only for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area estimates, not for the total United States.
The reasoning behind the change and an indication of
the differences appear in "Change in the Estimation
Procedure for the Current Population Survey Beginning
in January 1979" in the February 1979 issue of Employment and Earnings
Beginning in January 1982, the second-stage ratio adjustment methodology was changed in the CPS estimation procedure. The new procedure is described in the
Estimating Methods section. The purpose of the change
and an indication of its effect on national estimates of
labor force characteristics appear in "Revisions in the
Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1982"
in the February 1982 issue of Employment and Earnings. In addition, current population estimates used in
the second-stage estimation procedure are derived from
information obtained from the 1980 census, rather than
the 1970 census. This change caused substantial increases in total population and estimates of persons in
all labor force categories. Rates for labor force
characteristics, however, remained virtually unchanged.
Some 30,000 labor force series were adjusted back to
1970 to avoid major breaks in series. The adjustment
procedure used is also described in the February 1982
article cited above. The revisions did not, however,
smooth out the breaks in series occurring between 1972
and 1979 that are described above, and data users
should make allowances for them in making certain
data comparisons.
Beginning in January 1983, the first-stage ratio adjustment methodology was updated to account for
results obtained from the 1980 census. The new procedure is described in the Estimating Methods section.
The purpose of the change and an indication of its effect
on national estimates of labor force characteristics appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey
Beginning in January 1983" in the February 1983 issue
of Employment and Earnings. There are only slight differences between the old and new procedures in
estimates of level for the various labor force
characteristics and virtually no differences in estimates
of participation rates.
monthly CPS questionnaire in order to determine more
precisely the occupational classification of individuals.
As a result of these changes, meaningful comparisons of
occupational employment levels could not be made between 1971-72 and prior years nor between those 2 years.
Unemployment rates were not significantly affected.
For a further explanation of the changes in the occupational classification system, see "Revisions in Occupational Classifications for 1971" and "Revisions in the
Current Population Survey" in the February 1971 and
February 1972 issues, respectively, of Employment and
Earnings.
Beginning in January 1983, the occupational and industrial classification systems used in the 1980 census
were introduced into the CPS. These systems differ
from those developed for the 1970 census which were
used in the CPS from January 1971 through December
1982.
The 1980 census occupational classification system
evolved from the Standard Occupational Classification
system (SOC). While the CPS occupational data are
now comparable with other data sources, the new
system is so radically different in concepts and
nomenclature from the 1970 system that comparisons of
historical data are not possible without major adjustments. For example, the 1980 major group "sales
occupations" is substantially larger than the 1970
category "sales workers'.' Major additions include
"cashiers" from "clerical workers" and some selfemployed proprietors in retail trade establishments
from "managers and administratiors, except farm."
The industrial classification used in the 1980 census is
based on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification
system (SIC), as modified in 1977.The adoption of the
new system had much less of an adverse effect on
historical comparability than did the new occupational
system. The most notable changes from the 1970 system
were the transfer of farm equipment stores from
"retail" to "wholesale" trade, postal service from
"public administration" to "transportation", and
some interchange between "professional and related
services" and "public administration."
Additional information on the 1980 census occupational and industrial classification systems appears in
"Revisions in the Current Population Survey Beginning
in January 1983" in the February 1983 issue of Employment and Earnings.
Changes in the sample design
Changes in the occupational and industrial
classification system
Beginning in 1971, the comparability of occupational
employment data was affected as a result of changes in
the occupational classification system for the 1970 census that were introduced into the CPS. Comparability
was further affected in December 1971, when a question
relating to major activity or duties was added to the
122
Since the inception of the survey, there have been
various changes in the design of the CPS sample. Most
of these changes were made in order to improve the
efficiency of the sample design and/or to increase the
reliability of the sample estimates.
One major change made after every decennial census
is to change the sample design to make use of the recently collected census materials. Also, the number of
sample areas and the number of sample persons are increased occasionally. In 1953, the current rotation plan
was introduced in which a sample unit is interviewed
for 4 months, leaves the sample for 8 months, and then
returns to the sample for another 4 months. When Alaska
and Hawaii achieved statehood, three more sample areas
were added to account for the population in these States.
After the 1960 census, selection of a major portion of
the sample from census address lists was begun, though
a portion of the sample is still collected using area sampling. Following the 1970 census, the ultimate sampling
unit was changed from a noncontiguous cluster of six
housing units to a usually contiguous cluster of four
housing units. In January 1978, a supplemental sample
of 9,000 housing units, selected in 24 States and the
District of Columbia and designed to provide more reliable annual average estimates for States, was incorporated into the design. A coverage improvement sample,
composed of approximately 450 sample household units
which represent 237,000 occupied mobile homes and
600,000 new construction housing units, was included
in computing the estimates beginning in October 1978
in order to provide coverage of mobile homes and new
construction units that previously had no chance for
selection in the CPS sample. In January 1980, another
supplemental sample of 9,000 households selected in 32
States and the District of Columbia was added to the
existing sample. A sample reduction of about 6,000 units
was implemented in May 198L Beginning in January
1982, the sample was expanded by 100 households to
provide additional coverage in counties added to
SMSA's, which were redefined in 1973.
Beginning in April 1984, households sleected based
on the 1980 census sample design are being introduced
into the survey, but they are located in those 1970 design
sample areas that will continue into the 1980 sampling
frame. Hence, there is no change in the number of sample areas at this time. (See pp. 7-10 of the May 1984 issue
for an overview of the introduction of the new sample.)
Table A provides a description of some aspects of the
CPS sample design in use during the different data col-
lection periods. A more detailed account of the history
of the CPS sample design appears in The Current
Population Survey: Design and Methodology,
Technical Paper No. 40, Bureau of the Census, or Concepts and Methods Used in Labor Force Statistics Derived From the Current Population Survey, Report 463
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Under the estimating 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. The estimation procedure involves weighting the data from each sample person. The
basic weight, which is the inverse of the probability of
the person being in the sample, is a rough measure of
the number of actual persons that the sample person
represents. In States supplemented in the 1978 and 1980
expansions, almost all sample persons within the sample
area have the same basic weight, but the weight may differ across sample areas. The basic weight is the same for
almost all sample persons in unsupplemented States.
The basic weights are then adjusted for noninterview,
and the ratio estimation procedure is applied.
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 of the
respondents for other reasons. This adjustment is made
separately by combinations of sample areas within each
State and the District of Columbia, and, within these,
for six groups—two race categories (white, and black and
other) within three residential categories. For sample
areas which are Standard Metropolitan Statistical
Areas, (SMSA's), these residence categories are the central cities, the urban, and the rural balance of the
SMSA's. For other sample areas, the residence
categories are urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm.

varies from 4 to 5 percent, depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population
selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by
chance, from that of the population as a whole, in such
characteristics as age, race, sex, and residence. Since
these characteristics are closely correlated with labor
force participation and other principal measurements
made from the sample, the survey 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. In the CPS, a portion of
the 629 sample areas is chosen to represent other areas
not in the sample; the remainder of the sample areas
represent only themselves. The first-stage ratio estimation procedure was designed to reduce the portion of
the variance resulting from requiring sample areas to represent nonsample areas. Therefore, this procedure is
not applied to sample areas which represent only
themselves. The procedure is performed at two
geographic levels: First, by the four census regions
(Northeast, North Central, South, and West), and second, for each of the 46 States which contains nonsample areas. Effective with January 1983 data, the procedure corrects for the differences that existed at the
time of the 1980 census between the distribution by race
and residence of the population in the sample areas and
the known race-residence distribution in the portions of
the census region or State represented by these areas.
The regional adjustment is performed by metropolitannonmetropolitan residence and race, while the State adjustment is done by race only. Prior to January 1983,
the State adjustment was also done by urban-rural
status. At both the regional and the State levels, the
race-residence categories were changed from white/nonwhite to black/nonblack. The residence categories at the
State level of the estimation procedure were dropped
because definitional differences between the 1970 census
and the 1980 census made it impossible to continue using the same categories.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this stage, the sample proportions of persons in specific categories are adjusted to the distribution of independent current
estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population in
the same categories. The second-stage ratio adjustment
which is performed to further reduce variability of the
estimates and to correct to some extent for CPS undercoverage relative to the decennial census, is carried out
in two steps. In the first step, the sample estimates are
adjusted within each State and the District of Columbia
to an independent control for the population 16 years
and over for the State. The second step is applied to all
sample persons and is a weighting to nationwide in124
dependent population estimates within 68 age-sex-race
groups. The entire second-stage adjustment procedure is
iterated six times, each time beginning at the weights
developed the previous time. This ensures that the sample estimates of the population for both State and national age-sex-race categories will be virtually equal to
the independent population control totals. This secondstage adjustment procedure incorporates changes instituted in January 1982. The nature and effect of these
changes are discussed in detail in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1982" in
the February 1982 issue of Employment and Earnings.
The controls by State for the civilian noninstitutional
population 16 years and over are an arithmetic extrapolation of the trend in the growth of this segment of
the population from the April 1, 1980, census through
the latest available July 1 estimate, adjusted as a last
step to a current estimate of the U.S. population of this
group. State estimates by age for July 1 are published
annually in Current Population Reports, Series P-25.
For a description of the methodology used in developing
the State total, use Report 640 of that series. A description of the age estimates methodology are available on
request from the Chief of the Population Division, U.S.
Bureau of the Census; Washington, D.C. 20233.
Beginning with the January 1982 estimates, the independent national controls used for the age-sex-race
groups in the final step of the second-stage ratio adjustment are prepared by carrying forward the April 1,
1980, total population by age, race, and sex, taking account of the subsequent aging of the population, fertility, mortality, and net immigration, and then subtracting
the estimate for the institutional population and Armed
Forces. The April 1, 1980, total population was computed by adding together the resident population, consistent with that published for the 1980 census in Advance Reports, Series PHC80-V, and the Armed Forces
overseas, as compiled from Department of Defense
reports.
Data on births and deaths between April 1, 1980, and
the estimate date are based on tabulations of vital
statistics for the resident population made by the National Center for Health Statistics and data on deaths of
military personnel overseas from the Department of
Defense. Estimates of net civilian immigration are based
on data provided by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Department of Defense, the Office of
Personnel Management, and the Puerto Rico Planning
Board. The civilian noninstitutional population is derived by subtracting the Armed Forces and the institutional
population for the estimate date from the total including Armed Forces overseas. The institutional
population is computed by applying institutional proportions derived from the 1980 census to the total
population, including Armed Forces overseas for the
estimate date. All computations described above are
performed in cells defined by single year of age, race,
and sex. The independent national control totals are
then obtained by collapsing these cells into broader age
groups for the population 16 years and older.
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. Almost all estimates of month-to-month change
are improved by this procedure, and most estimates of
levels are also improved, but to a lesser extent.
Rounding of estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal
the totals shown in the same tables because of independent rounding of totals and components to the nearest
thousand. Similarly, sums of percent distributions may
not always equal 100 percent because of rounding. Differences, however, are insignificant.
Reliability of the estimates
There are two types of errors possible in an estimate
based on a sample survey—sampling and nonsampling.
The standard errors provided primarily indicate the
magnitude of the sampling error. They also partially
measure the effect of some nonsampling errors in
response and enumeration but do not measure any
systematic biases in the data.
Nonsampling error. The full extent of nonsampling error is unknown, but special studies have been conducted
to quantify some sources of nonsampling error in the
CPS, as discussed below. The effect of nonsampling error should be small on estimates of relative change, such
as month-to-month change. Estimates of monthly levels
would be more severely affected by the nonsampling
error.
Nonsampling errors in surveys can be attributed to
many sources, e.g., inability to obtain information
about all cases in the sample, definitional difficulties,
differences in the interpretation of questions, inability
or unwillingness of respondents to provide correct information, inability to recall information, errors made
in collection such as in recording or coding the data, errors made in processing the data, errors made in
estimating values for missing data, and failure to represent all sample households and all persons within sample households (undercoverage).
Nonsampling errors occurring in the interview phase
of the survey have been studied by means of a reinterview program. This program is used to estimate various
sources of error as well as to evaluate and control the
work of the interviewers. A random sample of each interviewer's work is inspected through reinterview at
regular intervals. The results indicate, among other
things, that the data published from the CPJS are subject
to moderate systematic biases. A description of the CPS
reinterview program and some of the other results may
be found in the Current Population Survey Reinterview
Program, January 1961 through December 1966.
Technical Paper No. 19, Bureau of the Census, U.S.
Department of Commerce.
The effects of some components of nonsampling error in the CPS data can be examined as a result of the
rotation plan used for the sample, since the level of the
estimates varies by rotation group. A description of
these effects appears in the 'The Effects of Rotation
Group Bias on Estimates from Panel Surveys," by Barbara A. Bailar, Journal of the American Statistical
Association, Volume 70, No. 349, March 1975.
Undercoverage in the CPS results from missed housing units and missed persons within sample households.
Compared to the level of the decennial census, undercoverage is about 5 percent. It is known that the CPS
undercoverage varies with age, sex, and race. Generally,
undercoverage is larger for men than for women, and
larger for black, and other races combined than for
whites. Ratio estimation to independent age-sex-race
population controls, as described previously, partially
corrects for the biases due to survey undercoverage.
However, biases exist in the estimates to the extent that
missed persons in missed households or missed persons
in interviewed households have different characteristics
than interviewed persons in the same age-sex-race
group. Further, the independent population controls used have not been adjusted for undercoverage in the 1980
census.
Additional information on nonsampling error in the
CPS appears in "An Error Profile: Employment as
Measured by the Current Population Survey," by
Camilla Brooks and Barbara Bailar, Statistical Policy
Working Paper 3, U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards; in "The
Current Population Survey: An Overview," by Marvin
Thompson and Gary Shapiro, Annals of Economic and
Social Measurement, Vol. 2, April 1973; and in The
Current Population Survey, Design and Methodology,
Technical Paper No. 40, Bureau of the Census, U.S.
Department of Commerce. This last document includes
a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of various
sources of error, and describes attempts to measure
them in the CPS.
Sampling error. The standard error is primarily a
measure of sampling variability, that is, of the variation
that occurs by chance because a sample rather than the
entire population is surveyed. The sample estimate and
its estimated standard error enable one to construct confidence intervals, ranges that would include the average
of all possible samples with a known probability. For
example, if all possible samples were selected, each of
these surveyed under essentially the same general conditions and using the same sample design, and an estimate
125
and its estimated error were calculated from each sample, then:
1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals from one
standard error beiow the estimate to one standard error
above the estimate would include the average result of
all possible samples.
2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.6
standard errors below the estimate to 1.6 standard errors above the estimate would include the average of all
possible samples.
3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from 2
standard errors below the estimate to 2 standard errors
above the estimate would include the average result of
all possible samples.
errors for levels, labor force participation rates, and
percentages as pertaining to the year-to-year change of
monthly estimates, quarterly averages, changes in
quarterly averages, yearly averages, and changes in
yearly averages. Note that standard errors for changes
in quarterly and yearly estimates apply only to consecutive quarters and years. For years prior to 1967, the
standard errors must be adjusted due to the differences
in the sample size. For years prior to 1956, the standard
errors should be multiplied by 1.50, and for the 1956-66
period, they should be multiplied by 1.22. Table K provides generalized standard errors for quarterly estimates
of persons and families for use with the CPS earnings
data.
In order to derive standard errors that would be applicable to a large number of estimates and could be
prepared at a moderate cost, a number of approximations were required. First, the standard errors in this
volume reflect the sample design and estimation procedures in effect prior to the expansions for State
estimates. Thus, these standard errors may slightly
overstate the standard errors applicable to the present
design. Second, instead of computing an individual
standard error for each estimate, generalized sets of
standard errors were computed for various types of
characteristics. This generalization yields more stable
estimates of the standard errors. Consequently, the sets
of standard errors provided give an indication of the
order of magnitude of the standard error of an estimate
rather than the precise standard error.
Tables B and C show approximate standard errors for
major employment status characteristics for monthly
estimates and for changes for consecutive months.
These standard errors are applicable to the level of the
estimates in recent months.
Tables D through H provide generalized standard errors for monthly level and month-to-month change for
estimated totals, unemployment rates, and percentages.
Table I contains factors for use with table H for computing standard errors, as described below, for monthly
level and month-to-month change for percentages.
Standard errors for intermediate values not shown in
the tables may be approximated by linear interpolation.
The standard error for estimated changes from one
month to the next is more closely related to the monthly
level for the characteristic than to the size of the specific
month-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to use the
generalized standard errors for month-to-month change
as given in the tables of standard errors, it is necessary
to obtain the monthly estimate for the characteristic. It
should be noted that the tables of standard errors for
month-to-month change apply only to estimates of
change between 2 consecutive months. Estimates of
change for nonconsecutive months are subject to higher
standard errors. Table J contains factors for use with
tables D, F, H, and I to compute approximate standard
Standard errors for estimated totals. Tables D and E
provide generalized standard errors for monthly totals
and for month-to-month change. The figures given in
these tables are to be used for the characteristics as indicated.

previous month. Linear interpolation in the second column of table D shows that the standard error on an
estimate of 12,000,000 is about 159,000. The 68-percent
confidence interval as shown by these data is from
11,841,000 to 12,159,000. Therefore, a conclusion that
the average estimate derived from all possible samples
lies within a range computed in this way would be correct for roughly 68 percent of all possible samples.
Recall that the standard error of a month-to-month
change is primarily dependent on the size of the monthly
estimate. Thus, using linear interpolation in the first
column of table E, the standard error on a month-tomonth change of 400,000, when the monthly level is approximately 12,000,000, is about 118,000.

in table I. First obtain the standard error from table H
for the specific percentage and base. The generalized
standard error is then calculated by multiplying the
standard error from table H by the appropriate factor
from table I. When the numerator and denominator of
the percentage are in different categories, use the factor
indicated by the numerator of the percentage.
Illustration. Assume that in a given month 3.6 percent
of a total of 90,771,000 employed persons are employed
in agriculture. The standard error on an estimate of 3.6
percent with a base of 90,771,000 is obtained from table
H (0.09 percent). The appropriate factor from table I
for the numerator of the percentage, agricultural
employment, is 1.26. The generalized standard error on

Thus, to obtain the standard error of an estimate of an

month change in percentages can be obtained through
change in level, rate, or percentage, it is first necessary
the use of the standard errors in table H and the factors
to find the appropriate estimate of level. For an estimate
127
of an average level, rate, or percentage, find the standard error of this estimate. For an estimate of change in
level, rate, or percentage, find the standard error of the
average of the two estimates affecting the change. Then,
after computing the standard error by treating these
estimates as monthly estimates and using the procedures
above, multiply this result by a suitable factor from
table J to obtain the approximate standard error for the
average or change.
Illustration. Suppose that one is interested in the yearto-year change of a monthly unemployment rate.
Assume that for a certain month the unemployment rate
is 6.9 percent, based on a total of 95,676,000 in the
civilian labor force, and that a year prior to this the
unemployment rate was 6.1 percent, based on a total of
94,254,000 in the civilian labor force for the month.
First the standard error on the average of the two
estimates, 6.5 percent with a base of 94,965,000, is obtained from table F (0.12 percentage point). The appropriate factor, then, from table J is 1.40. The approximate standard error on the change of 0.8 percent is then
given by 0.12 x 1.40 = 0.17 percentage point.
The approximate standard error of levels involving
year-to-year change of quarterly estimates pertaining to
CPS earnings data for persons and families may be obtained by using table K in conjunction with the following formula:

Where x is the estimate for one quarter and Y is the
estimate for another quarter. The coefficient, P, is a
measure of the correlation between the estimates X and
Y resulting from the presence of some of the same
respondents in the sample for each estimate. For consecutive year-to-year changes of quarterly estimates, the
values of P are .30 for persons (total, white, and black)
and .35 for families (total, white, and black). The respective values for estimates of Hispanics are .45
and .55.
Illustration. Assume that in a given quarter the
number of women employed as full-time wage and
salary workers was 27,000,000 and in the same quarter a
year later, their number had increased to 29,000,000.
Using linear interpolation in the eighth column of table
K, the standard error of an estimate of 27,000,000 is
216,000; for 29,000,000 it is 221,000. Using the above
formula, the standard error of the 2,000,000, year-toyear change is:

Establishment Data
(Tables B-1 through C-8)
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, and earnings in
nonagricultural establishments, by industry and
geographic location. Historical statistics are published
in Employment, Hours, and Earnings, United States,
1909-84, and Employment Hours and Earnings, States
and Areas, 1939-82 and their annual supplements.
All data on employment, hours, and earnings for the
Nation and for States and areas are classified in accordance with the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification
Manual (SICM), Office of Management and Budget.
The BLS tabulates and estimates statistics which
distinguish between private and public establishments,
thus maintaining continuity with previously published
statistics for the private and government sector.
Federal-State cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements, responding
establishments report employment, hours, and earnings
data to State agencies. State agencies mail the forms to
the establishments and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the
reported data to prepare State and area series and also
send the reported data to the BLS (Washington Office)
for use in preparing the national series. This avoids a
duplicate reporting burden on establishments, and
together with the use of similar estimating techniques at
the national and State levels, promotes increased comparability between estimates.
Shuttle schedules
Form BLS 790—Report on Employment, Payroll, and
Hours is the name of the data collection schedule. The
collection agency returns the schedule to the respondent
each month so that the next month's data can be entered
on the space alotted for that month. This "shuttle" procedure assures maximum comparability and accuracy of
reporting, since the respondent can see the figures that
have been reported for previous months.
Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the total
number of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of
nonagricultural establishments and, for most industries,
employment, payroll, and hours of production and
related workers or nonsupervisory workers for the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month.
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. Salaried officers of corporations are
included. Government employment covers only civilian
employees; military personnel are excluded. Employees
of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National
Security Agency are also excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm),
on paid holiday, on paid vacation, or who work during
a part of the pay period even though they are
unemployed or on strike during the rest of the period
are counted as employed. Not counted as employed are
persons who are on layoff, on leave without pay, on
strike for the entire period, or who were hired but have
not yet reported during the period.
Industry hours and earnings
CONCEPTS
Industrial classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 are
classified into industries on the basis of their principal
product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. Since January 1980, this information
is collected on a supplement to the quarterly unemployment insurance tax reports filed by employers. 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 principal product or activity.
132
Average hours and earnings data are derived from
reports of payrolls and hours for production and related
workers in manufacturing'and mining, construction
workers in construction, and nonsupervisory employees
in private service-producing industries.
Production and related workers include working
supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (including
group leaders and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage,
handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, trucking,
hauling, maintenance, repair, janitorial, guard services,
product development, auxiliary production for plant's
own use (e.g., power plant), recordkeeping, and other
services closely associated with the above production
operation.
Construction workers include the following
employees in the construction division: Working supervisors, qualified craft workers, mechanics, apprentices,
helpers, laborers, etc., engaged in new work, alterations, demolition, repair, maintenance, etc., whether
working at the site of construction or working 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, repairers, salespersons, operators,
drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social
workers, research aides, teachers, drafters,
photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant
workers, custodial workers, attendants, line installers
and repairers, laborers, janitors, guards, and other
employees at similar occupational levels 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 the 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.
Hours cover the hours paid for during the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month for production,
construction, or nonsupervisory workers. Included are
hours paid for holidays, vacations, and for sick leave
when pay is received directly from the firm.
Overtime hours covers 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 premiums were paid. Hours for which
only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other
similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.
A verage hourly and weekly earnings. Average hourly
earnings are on a "gross" basis. They reflect 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. They also reflect shifts in the
number of employees between relatively high-paid and
low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual establishments. 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 amount stipulated for a
given unit of work or time. The earnings series do 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 nonsupervisory
employee definitions.
Average weekly earnings estimates are derived by
multiplying average weekly hours estimates by average
hourly earnings estimates. Therefore, weekly earnings
are affected not only by changes in average hourly earnings but also by changes in the length of the workweek.
Monthly variations in such factors as proportion of
part-time workers, stoppages for varying reasons, labor
turnover during the survey period, and absenteeism for
which employees are not paid may cause the average
workweek to fluctuate.
Long-term trends of average weekly earnings can be
affected by structural changes in the makeup of the
work force. For example, persistent long-term increases
in the proportion of part-time workers in retail trade
and many of the services industries have reduced
average workweeks in these industries and have affected
the average weekly earnings series.
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 unpaid absenteeism, labor turnover, parttime 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.
A verage overtime hours. The overtime hours represent
that portion of the average weekly hours which exceeded regular hours and for which overtime premiums were
paid. If an employee were to work on a paid holiday at
regular rates, receiving as total compensation his or her
holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked
that day, no overtime hours would be reported.

a wedging technique designed to compensate for changes in the sample arising
mainly from the voluntary character of the reporting. The wedging procedure
accepts the advantage of continuity from the use of the matched sample and, at
the same time, tapers or wedges the estimate toward the level of the latest
sample average.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the same direction from month to month; for
example, ovetime 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 in
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 average hours.
Indexes of diffusion of changes in number of employees
on nonagricultural payrolls. These indexes measure the
percent of industries which posted increases in employment over the specified time span. The indexes are
calculated from 185 seasonally adjusted employment
series (two-digit nonmanufacturing industries and threedigit manufacturing industries) covering all
nonagricultural payroll employment in the private sector. A more detailed discussion of these indexes appears
in "Introduction of Diffusion Indexes," in the
December 1974 issue of Employment and Earnings.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Railroads 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. Average hourly earnings are computed by
dividing total compensation by total hours paid for.
Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing total
number of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly basis, by
the number of employees, as defined above. Average
weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average
weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Real earnings, or earnings in constant dollars, are
calculated from the earnings averages for the current
month using a deflator derived from the Consumer
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers (CPI-W).
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime. Average
hourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay are
computed by dividing the total production worker
payroll for the industry group by the sum of total
production worker hours and one-half of total overtime
hours. Prior to January 1956, these data were based on
the application of adjustment factors to average hourly
earnings (as described in the Monthly Labor Review,
May 1950, pp. 537-40). Both methods eliminate only the
earnings due to overtime paid for at I1/? times the
straight-time rates. No adjustments are 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 hours. The indexes of aggregate weekly hours are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the average of the 12 monthly
figures for 1977. For basic industries, the hour aggregates are the product of average weekly hours and
production worker or nonsupervisory worker employment. At all higher levels of industry aggregation, hour
aggregates are the sum of the component aggregates.
The principal features of the procedure used to
estimate employment for the establishment statistics are
(1) the use of the 'Mink relative" technique which is a
form of ratio estimation; (2) periodic adjustment of
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 'Mink 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, bias correction factors are applied to selected
employment estimates each month. The size of the bias
correction factors is determined from past benchmark
comparisons. Beginning with data for April 1983, these
factors are modified by changes in the sample link
relatives for the most recent quarter. Other features of
the general procedures are described in table L.
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 in table L,
may be a whole industry or a size stratum, a region
stratum, or a size stratum of a region within an industry.
Benchmark adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically
with benchmarks (comprehensive counts of employment) for the various nonagricultural industries and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The industry estimates are currently projected from March
1983 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are
made annually.
135
The primary sources of benchmark information are
employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by
States agencies from reports of establishments covered
under State unemployment insurance laws. These
tabulations cover about 98 percent of employees on
nonagricultural payrolls in the United States. 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 for the benchmark month are compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry.
If revisions are necesary, the monthly series of estimates
between benchmark periods 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 comparision of the actual amounts of revisions
made at the time of the March 1983 benchmark adjustment is shown in table M.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which
the series has been adjusted are subject to revision.
Revised data are published as soon as possible after each
benchmark revision.
THE SAMPLE
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. Under this type of design, large
establishments fall into the sample with certainty. The
size of the sample 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 percent of total
employment is included in the sample. Consequently,
the sample design for such industries provides for a
complete census of the large 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 small ones. Many industries in the trade
and services divisions fall into this category. To keep the
sample to a size which can be handled by available
resources, it is necessary to design samples for these industries 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 do
establishments in manufacturing industries, these
smaller samples (in terms of employment) generally produce reliable estimates.
In the context of the BLS Current Employment
Statistics program, with its emphasis on producing 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
the reference period, and, at a somewhat later date,
statistics in considerably greater industrial detail.
Coverage
The BLS sample of establishment employment and
payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the
field of social statistics. Table N 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.

Reliability of the employment estimates
Although the relatively large size of the BLS establishment sample assures a high degree of accuracy, the
estimates derived from it may differ from the figures
that would be obtained if it were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
As discussed under the previous section, a "link
relative" technique is used to estimate employment.
This requires the use of the previous month's estimate as

Since a few establishments do not report payroll and hours
information, hours and earnings estimates may be based on a slightly
smaller sample than employment estimates.
7
National estimates of Federal employment by agency are provided to
BLS by the Office of Personnel Management. Detailed industry estimates
for the Executive Branch, as well as State and area estimates of Federal
employment, are based on a sample of 4,800 reports covering about 64
percent of employment in Federal establishments.
the base in computing the current month's estimate.
Thus, small sampling and response errors may cumulate
over several months. To remove this accumulated error,
the estimates are usually adjusted annually to new benchmarks. In addition to taking account of 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 arises from improvements
in the quality of the benchmark data. Table O presents
the average percent revisions of the five most recent
benchmarks for major industry divisions. Detailed
descriptions of individual benchmark revisions are
available from the Bureau upon request.
The hours and earnings estimates for basic estimating
cells are not subject to benchmark revisions, although
the broader groupings may be affected slightly by
changes in employment weights. The hours and earnings
estimates, however, are subject to sampling errors
which may be expressed as relative errors of the
estimates. (A relative error is a standard error expressed
as a percent of the estimate.) Relative errors for major
industries are presented in table O and for individual industries with the specified number of employees in table
P. The chances are about 2 out of 3 that the hours and
earnings estimates from the sample would differ by a
smaller percentage than the relative error from the
averages that would have been obtained from a complete census.
One measure of the reliability of the employment
estimates for individual industries is the root-meansquare error (RMSE). The measure is the standard deviation adjusted for the bias in estimates:
RMSE =
^/(Standard Deviation)2
+ (Bias)2
If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that
an estimate from the samle 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 most recent benchmark revisions) of differences between final estimates and benchmarks are
presented in table P.
For the two 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. Table Q
presents root-mean-square errors of the amounts of
revisions that may be expected between the preliminary
and final levels of employment and preliminary and
final month-to-month changes. Revisions of
preliminary hours and earnings estimates are normally
not greater than 0.1 of an hour for weekly hours and 1
cent for hourly earnings.

Productivity Data
(Tables C-9 through C-11)
COLLECTION
Productivity data are compiled by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics from establishment data and from
estimates of compensation and gross national product
supplied by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the
Federal Reserve Board.
CONCEPTS
Hours of wage and salary workers in nonagricultural
establishments refer to hours paid for all
employees—production workers, nonsupervisory
workers, and salaried workers.
Output is the constant-dollar market value of final
goods and services produced in a given period. Indexes
of output per hour of all persons measure changes in the
volume of goods and services produced per paid hour of
labor input.
Compensation per hour includes wages and salaries
of employees plus employers' contributions for social
insurance and private benefit plans. The data also in138
clude an estimate of wages, salaries, and supplementary
payments for the self-employed, except for nonfinancial
corporations, in which there are no self-employed.
Real compensation per hour is compensation per
hour adjusted to elimate the effect of changes in the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
(CPI-U).
Unit labor costs measure the labor compensation cost
required to produce one unit of output and are derived
by dividing compensation per hour by output per hour.
Unit nonlabor payments include profits, depreciation, interest, and indirect taxes per unit of output.
They are computed by subtracting compensation of all
persons from the current-dollar gross national product
and dividing by output. In these tables, unit nonlabor
costs contain all the components of unit nonlabor
payments except unit profits.
Unit profits include corporate profits and inventory
valuation adjustments per unit of output.
The implicit price deflator is derived by dividing the
current-dollar estimate of gross product by the
constant-dollar estimate, making the deflator, in effect,
a price index for gross product of the sector reported.
NOTES ON THE DATA
For the business sector and the nonfarm business sector, these indexes relate to the gross domestic product
less household and institutions, owner-occupied housing, and statistical discrepancy. For the nonfinancial
corporate sector, the indexes refer to the gross domestic
product of nonfinancial corporate business.
Manufacturing output data are supplied by the
Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of
Commerce, and the Federal Reserve Board. Quarterly
measures have been adjusted by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics to annual estimates of output (gross product
originating) from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Compensation and hours data are from the Bureau of
Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Historical statistics for most productivity measures appear in Trends in Multifactor Productivity, 1948-81,
BLS Bulletin 2178. Additional information may be obtained from the Office of Productivity and Technology
(202 523-9261).
State and Area Labor Force Data
(D table)
FEDERAL-STATE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM
Labor force and unemployment estimates for States,
labor market areas (LMA's), and other areas covered
under Federal assistance programs are developed by
State employment security agencies under a FederalState cooperative program. The local unemployment
estimates which are derived from standardized procedures developed by BLS are the basis of determining
eligibility of an area for benefits under Federal programs such as the Job Training Partnership Act and the
Public Works and Economic Development Act.
Annual average data for the States and areas shown
in table D are published in Employment and Earnings
(usually the May issue). For regions, States, selected
metropolitan areas, and central cities, annual average
data classified by selected demographic, social, and
economic characteristics are published in the BLS
bulletin, Geographic Profile of Employment and
Unemployment.
Labor force and unemployment estimates for counties, cities, and other small areas have been prepared
for administration of various Federal economic
assistance programs and may be ordered from the
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. The report
"Employment and Unemployment in States and Local
Areas" is published monthly through GPO and is
available on microfiche only on a subscription basis.
ESTIMATING METHODS
The civilian labor force and unemployment estimates
in 10 large States: New York, California, Illinois, Ohio,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas, Massachusetts, and Florida; and two areas: Los Angeles—Long
Beach metropolitan area and New York City, are sufficiently reliable to be used directly from the CPS. For a
description of the CPS concepts see "Household
Data," above.
Monthly labor force and unemployment estimates in
the remaining 40 States, District of Columbia, and 253
labor market areas are prepared in several stages. The
civilian labor force is the sum of the employment and
unemployment levels, which are estimated in accordance with the BLS Manual for Developing Local Area
Unemployment Statistics.
1. Preliminary estimate—employment: The total
civilian employment estimate is based on data from the
survey of establishments which produces an estimate of
payroll employment. This place-of-work estimate must
be adjusted to refer to place of residence as used in the
CPS. Factors for adjusting from place of work to place
of residence have been developed for the several
categories of employment on the basis of employment
relationships which existed at the time of the 1970
decennial census. These factors are applied to the
payroll employment estimates for the current period to
obtained adjusted employment estimates, to which are
added estimates for employment not cover by UI.
2. Preliminary estimate—unemployment: In the current month, the estimate of unemployment is an aggregate of the estimates for each of three building block
categories: (1) Persons who were previously employed in
industries covered by State unemployment insurance
(UI) laws; (2) those previously employed in industries
not covered by these laws; and (3) those who were entering the civilian labor force for the first time or reentering after a period of separation. This is referred to
below as the UI- based estimate.
An estimate for those previously employed in covered
industries is derived from a count of current employment insurance claimants, plus estimates of claimants
whose benefits have been exhausted, those persons disqualified from receiving benefits for nonmonetary
reasons (because they quit, were discharged for cause,
139
etc., but would otherwise have been eligible), and person who either filed claims late or not at all.
The estimate of those previously employed in industries not covered by UI is derived by applying to the
employment estimate for each noncovered industry or
class of worker subgroup in the State, the ratio of
covered unemployment to covered employment
weighted by factors reflecting national historical relationships.
For the third category, new entrants and reentrants
into the labor force, a composite estimate is developed
from equations that relate the total entrants into the
labor force to the experienced unemployed and the experienced labor force. For each month, the estimate of
entrants into the labor force is a function of: (a) the
month of the year; (b) the level of the experienced
unemployed; (c) the level of the experienced labor force;
and (d) the proportion of the working age population
that is considered "youth." The composite estimate of
total entrants is defined as:
U=
U=
E=
X=
A,B=
A (X + E) + BX, where

total civilian employment
total experienced unemployment
synthetic factors incorporating
seasonal variation and an assumed
relationship between the proportion of
youths in the working population and the
historical relationship of entrants to the
experienced unemployed (B factor) or the
experienced labor force (A factor).
3. Correction factors for employment and unemployment are then applied at the State level of the Ul-based
estimates obtained above for each of the 40 States and
the District of Columbia. These correction factors are
based on the ratio of the CPS to the Ul-based estimates
for the 6-month period ending in the current month
(e.g. a 6-month moving average).
4. Substate adjustment for additivity. Independent
estimates of employment and unemployment are
prepared for the State (obtained directly from the CPS
in the 10 large States or by the Ul-based method in the
remaining States), and labor market areas (LMA's)
within the State). The total of the geographic areas in
the LMA's exhausts the geographic boundaries of the
State. A proportional adjustment is applied to all
sub-state LMA estimates to ensure that the sub-state
estimates of employment and unemployment add to the
independent State totals. In California and New York,
which also have sub-state areas taken directly from the
CPS, the additivity adjustment for the reamining areas
is applied to the State total minus the direct CPS area.
5. Benchmark correction procedures. Once each year
monthly estimates prepared by the State employment
security agencies using Ul-based estimating procedures
are adjusted, or benchmarked, by BLS to the annual
average CPS estimates for the 40 States and the District
of Columbia for which monthly CPS estimates are not
available. This adjustment is necessary because the
State-prepared estimates are not as reliable as the CPS
annual averages due to differences in the State UI laws,
the structual limitations of the Ul-based estimating
method, and errors in the UI data.
The benchmarked estimates are produced in three
stages. First, the monthly Ul-based estimates are adjusted by the ratio of the CPS to the Ul-based annual
averages. Second, the difference between the ratio of
annual averages for two consecutive years is wedged into the monthly estimates in order to minimize the disturbance to the original series. Finally, the third stage
estimates are forced into agreement with CPS annual
averages. In the 10 States which use CPS estimates
monthly, no benchmark correction is required, as the
average of the 12 monthly State CPS estimates will
equal CPS annual averages.
Seasonal Adjustment
Over the course of a year, the size of the Nation's
labor force, the levels of employment and unemployment, and other measures of labor market activity
undergo sharp fluctuations due to such seasonal events
as changes in weather, reduced or expanded production,
harvests, major holidays, and the opening and closing
of schools. Because these seasonal events follow a more
or less regular pattern each year, their influence on
statistical trends can be eliminated by adjusting the
statistics from month to month. These adjustments
make it easier to observe the cyclical and other
nonseasonal movements in the series. In evaluating
140
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 are
also affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for
selected labor force and establishment-based data are
published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment program used for these
series is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving
average method. It provides for "moving" adjustment
factors to take account of changing seasonal patterns. A
detailed description of the method is given in The X-ll
Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment
Program, Technical Paper No. 15, Bureau of the Census (1967).
Beginning in January 1980, BLS introduced two major modifications in the seasonal adjustment
methodology for data from the household survey. First,
the data are being seasonally adjusted with a new procedure called X-ll ARIMA, which was developed at
Statistics Canada as an extension of the existing standard X-ll method. A detailed description of the procedure appears in The X-ll ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method\ by Estela Bee Dagum, Statistics Canada
Catalogue NO. 12-564E, February 1980. The X-ll procedure was originally developed at the Bureau of the
Census and had been used by the BLS to seasonally adjusted labor force series since 1973. Tests have shown
that use of the X-ll ARIMA procedure, which places
more emphasis on recent data, provides better seasonal
adjustments than does the X-ll method alone.
The second change is that seasonal adjustment factors
are calculated for use during the first 6 months of the
year rather than for the entire year. In July of each year,
BLS calculates and publishes in Employment and Earnings a set of seasonal adjustment factors for use in the
second half, based on the experience through June.
Revisions of historical data for the most recent 5 years
are made at the beginning of each calendar year.
However, as a result of the revisions to the estimates for
1970-81 based on 1980 census population counts, revisions to seasonally adjusted series in early 1982 were
carried back to 1970.
All labor force and unemployment rate statistics, as
well as the major employment and unemployment
estimates, are computed by aggregating independently
adjusted series. For example, for each of the three major labor force components-agricultural employment,
nonagricultural employment, and unemployment-data
for four sex-age groups (men and women under and
over 20 years of age) are separately adjusted for
seasonal variation and are then added to derive
seasonally adjusted total figures. The seasonally adjusted figure for the labor force is the sum of eight
seasonally adjusted civilian employment components,
plus the resident Armed Forces total (not adjusted for
seasonality), and four seasonally adjusted unemployment components; the total for unemployment is the
sum of the four unemployment components; and the
overall unemployment rate is derived by dividing the
resulting estimate of total unemployment by the
estimate of the labor force. Because of the independent
seasonal adjustment of various series, components will
not necessarily add to totals.
Revised seasonally adjusted data for selected labor
force series based on the experience through December
1983, new seasonal adjustment factors to be used to
calculate the civilian unemployment rate for the first 6
months of 1984, and a description of the current
seasonal adjustment methodology are published in the
January 1984 issue of Employment and Earnings.
Revised seasonally adjusted data covering the 1979-83
revision period for a broad range of labor force series
appear in the February 1984 issue of this publication.
Many additional series, which are either components or
aggregates of the series presented, are published in Supplement to Labor Force Statistics Derived From the Current Population Survey: A Databook, Volume II,
Bulletin 2096-1, May 1984.
Beginning in July 1980, the BLS also uses the X-ll
ARIMA methodology in seasonally adjusting the
establishment data, which previously had been computed using the BLS Seasonal Factor Method. All series
are seasonally adjusted using the multiplicative models
under X-ll ARIMA. Seasonal adjustment factors used
in calculating the current year's estimates are based on
actual data through March 1984 and projected data
through March 1985. The ARIMA model options for
projecting the data series for 1 year ahead have been used in seasonally adjusting the establishment series since
June 1981.
Seasonal adjustment factors are directly applied to
the component levels. Seasonally adjusted totals for
most of these series are then obtained by taking a
weighted average of the seasonally adjusted data for the
component series. Seasonally adjusted average weekly
earnings are the product of seasonally adjusted average
hourly earnings and seasonally adjusted average weekly
hours.
Average weekly earnings in constant dollars,
seasonally adjusted, are obtained by dividing average
weekly earnings, seasonally adjusted, by the seasonally
adjusted Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage
Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), and multiplying
by 100. Indexes of aggregate weekly hours, seasonally
adjusted, are obtained by multiplying average weekly
hours, seasonally adjusted, by production or nonsupervisory workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing by the
1977 base. For total private, total goods-producing,
total private service-producing, wholesale trade, retail
trade, manufacturing, and durable and nondurable
goods industries, the indexes of aggregate weekly hours,
seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggregate weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate component industries and dividing by the
1977 base.
Seasonally adjusted data are not published for a
number of series characterized by small seasonal components relative to their trend-cycle and/or irregular
components. These failed or unsatisfactory seasonally
adjusted series are used in the aggregation to broader
level seasonally adjusted series
Beginning in June 1983, seasonal adjustment factors
141
for Federal Government employment are derived from
unadjusted data which include Christmas temporary
workers employed by the Postal Service. In earlier years
the number of these workers was substantial, and at
times varied greatly from year to year, based on administrative decisions of the Postal Service. Hence, it
was considered desirable to exclude this group from the
unadjusted data upon which the seasonal adjustment factors were based. In the past several years, the number of
these workers has decreased to the point where their
142
presence has no impact on seasonal adjustment. Temporary census takers for the 1980 decennial census are
removed prior to the calculation of seasonal adjustment
factors for Federal Government employment.
The revised seasonally adjusted series for the
establishment data reflect experience through March
1984. Seasonal adjustment factors to be used for current
adjustment appear in the June 1984 issue of Employment and Earnings.
