Employment and Unemployment
Developments, November 2005

N

onfarm payroll employment grew by 215,000 iri
November, and the unemployment rate was
unchanged at: 5.0 percent. Over the month, job
growth was widespread, with large gains in construction and
food services.

Unemployment
The unemployment rate was unchanged in November at 5 0
percent. The jobless rate has ranged between 4.9 and 5 1
percent since May. The number of unemployed persons, 7 6
million, was essentially unchanged in November. The
unemployment rates for adult men (4.3 percent), adult women
(4.6 percent), teenagers (17.2 percent), whites (43 percent),
and Hispanics or Latinos (6.0 percent) showed little or mo
change in November. The jobless; rates for blacks (10,6
percent) and, specifically for adult black women (9.1 percent),
rose over the month. la November, the unemployment rate
for Asians was 3.6 percent, not seasonally adjusted. (See
tables A~3,A-4, and A-13.)

Total employment and the labor force
Total employment, 142.6 million, and the civilian labor force:;,
' 150.2 million, were little changed in November. The
employment-population ratio also was little changed over
the month at 62.8 percent, and the labor force participation
rate held at 66.1 percent.. (See table A-3.)

Persons not in the labor force
The number of persons marginally attached to the labor force
was 1.4 million in November, about the same as a year earlier.
(Data are not seasonally adjusted.) These individuals wanted
and were available to work and had looked for a job sometime
in the prior 12 months. They were not counted as
unemployed, however, because they did not actively search
for work in the 4 weeks; preceding the survey. There were;!
404,000 discouraged workers in November, about the same::'
as a year earlier. Discouraged workers, a subset of the;
marginally attached, were not currently looking for work.
specifically because the]' believed no jobs were available for
them. The other 1.0 million marginally attached persons had!
not searched for work for reasons such as school attendance
or family responsibilities. (See table A-3 8.)

Employment status of Hurricane Katrina evacuees
Beginning in October, questions were added to the
household survey to identify persons who evacuated from
their homes, even temporarily, due to Blurricane Katrina. Data
collected through these questions do not represent all



evacuees; persons living outside the scope of the survey—
such as those living in hotels or shelters—are not included.
The questions were asked of persons in the household survey
sample throughout the country, since some evacuees
relocated far from the storm-affected areas. The questions
also determined whether evacuees had returned to their
homes by the time of the survey. This additional information
enabled analysis of the employment status of this subgroup
of evacuees. (The total number of evacuees estimated from
the household survey may change from month to month as
people move in and out of the scope of the survey.)
Information gathered in November showed that about
900,000 persons age 16 and over had evacuated from where
they were living in August due to Hurricane Katrina. These
evacuees either had returned to their homes or were living in
other residential units covered in the survey in November.
Half of the evacuees had returned to their August 2005
residences. Of all evacuees identified, 55.2 percent were in
the labor force in November. The employment-population
ratio for these evacuees was 43.9 percent. The unemployment
rate for persons identified as evacuees was 20.5 percent; it
was much higher for those who had not returned home (27.8
percent) than for those who had returned (12.5 percent).

industry payroll employment
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 215,000 to 134.3
million in November. This followed 2 months of little growth
in employment, due in part to the direct and indirect effects
of hurricanes that struck the Gulf Coast. During the first 8
months of the year, payroll employment grew by an average
of 196,000 per month. In November, gains were widespread
with notable increases in construction, professional and
technical services, health care, and food services and drinking
places. (See table B-3.)
In November, construction employment rose by 37,000,
with a large increase occurring in heavy and civil engineering
construction (14,000). November job gains in construction
partly reflect rebuilding and clean-up efforts following
Hurricane Katrina. Employment in the industry has been on
an upward trend for more than 2-1/2 years.
Professional and technical services employment increased
by 22,000 in November. Within this sector, architectural
and engineering services and management and technical
consulting services each added about 6,000 jobs. Over the
last 12 months, professional and technical services has added
210,000 jobs.
Health care employment continued to grow in November,
increasing by 20,000. Ambulatory health care services, which

includes doctors' offices and outpatient clinics, added 15,000
jobs. Health care has added 263,000 jobs since November
2004.
Within leisure and hospitality, food services—which
includes restaurants and drinking places—added 39,000 jobs
in November. This followed declines in the previous 2 months
that totaled 69,000. For the 12 months ending in August, the
industry had gained 283,000 jobs.
Manufacturing employment edged up in November. Job
gains occurred in wood products and in computer and
electronic products, while machinery manufacturing
employment decreased.
In November, employment in financial activities continued
its upward trend, as credit intermediation added 5,000 jobs.
Wholesale trade employment also continued to trend up, with
most of the over-the-month gain occurring in the industry's;
durable goods component. Retail trade employment was about
unchanged over the month. Within the industry, employment
in automobile dealerships declined for the second
consecutive month, falling by 6,000 in November. Building
material and garden supply stores added 6,000 jobs over the
month.

Weekly hours
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory
workers on private nonfarm payrolls fell by 0.1 hour to 33.7
hours in November, seasonally adjusted. The manufacturing
workweek decreased by 0.2 hour to 40.8 hours, following a
0.3-hour increase in October. Factory overtime was down by
0.1 hour in November to 4.5 hours. (See table B-7.)
The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or
nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls
decreased by 0.1 percent in November to 103.2 (2002=100).
The manufacturing index was down by 0.2 percent over the
month to 95.0. (See table B-8.)
Hourly and weekly earnings
Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory
workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 3 cents in
November to $16.32, seasonally adjusted. This followed an
increase of 10 cents (as revised) in October. Average weekly
earnings decreased by 0.1 percent over the month to $549.98.
Over the year, both average hourly and weekly earnings
increased by 3.2 percent. (See table B-10.)

Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Household Survey Data
In accordance with usual practice, the release of December data in January will incorporate annual revisions
in seasonally adjusted unemployment and other labor force series from the household survey. Seasonally
adjusted data for the most recent 5 years are subject to revision.

Hurricane Katrina
In November, the state population controls used for the household survey were adjusted to account for
displacements due to Hurricane Katrina. These adjustments had a minimal impact on title national household
survey estimates. Information again was collected in the household survey on the labor force status of
people who had to evacuate due to Hurricane Katrina.
For the establishment survey, BLS resumed normal estimation procedures in November. The procedures
had been modified in September and October to account for low response rates in Kaitrina-affected areas. In
November, the number and type of responses from the Katrina-affected areas were deemed acceptable for
a return to standard procedures.
For more information on household and establishment survey procedures and estimates for November
2005, see http://www,bls.gov/katrina/cpscesquestions.htm on the BLS Web site or call (202) 691-6378
for information about the household survey, and (202) 691-6555 for information about the establishment
survey.

The population figures are not adjusted for seasonal variation.
NOTE: Estimates for the above race groups (white and black or African American) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In addition,
persons whose ethnicity is Identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and,, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Beginning in January 2005,
data reflect revised population controls used in the household survey.

NOTE: Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African American,
and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In
addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of
any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race. Beginning
in January 2005, data reflect revised population controls used in the household
survey. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria.

NOTE: Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African
American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all
races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino




may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race.
Beginning in January 2005, data reflect revised population controls used in the

NOTE: Estimates for the above race groups (white, black or African American, and Asian) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races.
In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race.
Beginning in January 2005, data reflect revised population controls used in the household survey.

dividing the current month's estimates of aggregate hours by the corresponding
2002 annual average levels. Aggregate hours estimates are the product of
estimates of average weekly hours and production or nonsupervisory worker
employment. Data are currently projected from March 2004 benchmark levels.
When more recent benchmark data are introducted with the release of January
2006 estimates, all seasonally adjusted data from January 2001 forward are

Estimates are not model-based as of September 2005.
Area boundaries do not reflect official OMB definitions.
P = preliminary.
- Data not available.
NOTE: Data refer to place of residence. Data for Puerto Rico are derived from a
monthly household survey simiiiar to the Current Population Survey. Area
definitions are based on Office of Management and Budget Bulletin No. 04-03s
dated February 18, 2004, and are available at http://www.hls.gov/lauAausrnsa.htm,
and in the May issue of Employment and Earnings. Areas in the six New England!

states are Metropolitan New England City and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas
in other states are county-based. Some metropolitan areas lie in two or more
states. They are listed under the state that appears first in their titles.
Davenport-Moline-Rock Island, Sowa-lll., and Weirton Stetibenville, W.Va-Qhio, are
the exceptions in that ihey are listed under Illinois and Ohio, respectively, for
operational reasons. Estimates for the latest month are revised the following month,
and at least 3 years of estimates are subject to revision at the end of the year, to
incorporate updated inputs and reestimation.

NOTE: Data refer to place of residence. Area definitions are based on Office of
Management and Budget Bulletin No. 04-03, dated February 18, 2004, and are
available at http://wwwMs.govAauAausmsa.htm and in the May issue of Employment and
Earnings. Areas in the six New England states are Metropolitan New England Gity
and Town Areas (NECTAs), while areas in other states are county-based. Some
metropolitan areas lie in two or more states. They are listed under the state that

corresponds to the first city in their title. Metropolitan divisions are listed under their
metropolitan areas. Some divisions lie in more than one state, and some, like
Camden, N.J., are totally outside the states under which their metropolitan areas are
listed. Estimates for the latest month are revised the following month, and at least 3
years of estimates are subject to revision at the end of the year, to incorporate
updated inputs and reestimation. Two sets of metropolitan areas and divisions have
similar or identical titles. For Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, D.C.-Va.-Md.-W.Va.,
the titles are identical. For the Chicago-Naperville-Joliet,IH.-lnd.-Wis. metropolitan
area, the division title includes only Illinois.

Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error

Introduction
tics, for example, are obtained only from the household survey, whereas detailed industrial classifications are much more
reliably derived from establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of variations in definitions and coverage, source of
information, methods of collection, and estimating procedures. Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasons for discrepancies. The major factors that have
a differential effect on the levels and trends of the two data
series are as follows.

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
the Current Population Survey (GPS), a sample survey of
the population 16 years of age and over. The survey is conducted each month by the U S . Census Bureau for the
Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive data
on the labor force, the employed, and the unemployed, classified by such characteristics as age, sex, race, family relationship, marital states, 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 (beginning with July 2001 data)
located in 754 sample areas., These areas are chosen to represent all counties and independent cities in the United
States, 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 through the use of touchtone data entry, computerassisted telephone interviewing, and electronic data interchange, or by mail o:r fax, or on magnetic tape or computer
diskette. The Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey
is designed to provide industry information on nonfarm
wage and salary employment, average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, and average weekly earnings for thus
Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The employment,
hours, and earnings series are based on payroll reports from
a sample that includes about 160,000 businesses and government agencies covering approximately 400,000 individual worksites. The sample is drawn from a sampling frame
of over 8 million unemployment insurance tax accounts;.
The active CES sample includes approximately one-third
of all nonfarm payroll workers. The data relate to all workers, full or part time, who receive pay during the payroll
period that includes the 12th of the month*

Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition of employment
comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics
and other private household workers), self-employed persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more
during the reference week in family-operated enterprises.
Employment in both agricultural and nonagricultural industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage
and salary employees on the payrolls of nonfarm establishments.
Multiple johholding. The household survey provides
information on the work status of the population without
duplication, because each person is classified as employed,
unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons
holding more than one job are counted only once. 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.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEENTHE HOUSEHOLD
AND ESTABLISHMENT SERIES

Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey includes
among the employed all civilians who had jobs but were
not at work during the reference week—that is, were not
working but had jobs from which they were temporarily
absent because of illness, vacation, bad weather, childcare
problems, or 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 those on leave without
pay for the entire payroll period are not.

The household and establishment data complement one
another, eacli providing significant types of information that
the other cannot suitably supply. Population characteris-

private production or nonsupervisory workers paid for by
employers. In the household survey, all persons with a job
but not at work are excluded from the hours distributions
and the computations of average hours at work. 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 the 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 natural resources
and mining and manufacturing; construction workers in
construction; and nonsupervisory employees in private service-providing industries. For a comprehensive discussion
of the various earnings series available from the household
and establishment surveys, see BLS Measures of Compensation, Bulletin 2239 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1986).
COMPARABILITY OF HOUSEHOLD DATA
WITH OTHER SERIES
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from
the household survey includes all persons who did not have
a job during the reference week, were currently available
for a job, 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 U.S.
Department of Labor, exclude, in addition to otherwise ineligible persons who do not file claims for benefits, 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 religious organizations, and self-employed and
unpaid family workers).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment
compensation differ from the definition of unemployment
used in the household survey. For example, persons with a
job but not at work and persons working only a few hours




during the week are sometimes eligible for unemployment
compensation but are classified as employed, rather than
unemployed, in the household survey.
Agricultural employment estimates of the U.S. Department
of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are
the inclusion of persons under 16 in the National Agricultural 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 also
are wide differences in sampling techniques and data collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be readily
measured in terms of their impact on differences in the levels and trends of the two series.
COMPARABILITY OF PAYROLL EMPLOYMENT
DATA WITH OTHER SERIES

Statistics on manufacturers and business, U.S. Census
Bureau, BLS establishment statistics on employment differ
from employment counts derived by the U.S. Census Bureau
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 also are differences
in the scope of the industries covered-—for example, the
Census of Business excludes professional services, public
utilities, and financial establishments, whereas these are
included in the BLS statistics.
County Business Patterns, IKS. Census Bureau. Data in
County Business Patterns (CBP) differ from BLS establishment statistics in the treatment of central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences also may arise because
of industrial classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes interstate railroads and most of government, and coverage is incomplete for some of the nonprofit
agencies.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance programs. Most nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered
by the unemployment insurance programs. However, some
employees, such as those working in parochial schools and
churches, are not covered by unemployment insurance, whereas
they are included in the BLS establishment statistics.

Household Data
("A tables, monthly; "Dw" tables, quarterly)
w

COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population and
related data are compiled by BLS using data from the Current Population Survey (CPS). This monthly survey of households is conducted for BLS by the U.S. Census Bureau
through a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the civilian nonin&titutional population. Respondents
are interviewed to obtain information about the employment
status of each member of the household 16 years of age and
older. The inquiry relates to activity or- status during the
calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, that includes the
12th day of the month. This is known as the "reference week.3"
Actual field interviewing is conducted! in the following week,,
referred to as the "survey week "
Each month, about 6O90GG occupied units are eligible for
interview. Some 4,500 of these households are contacted 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 thai:
ranges between 7 and 8 percent. In addition to the 60,000
occupied units, there; Me about 12,000 sample units in am.
average month that .are visited but found to be vacant or
otherwise not eligible for enumeration. Part of the sample is
changed each month. The rotation plan, as will be
explained later, provides for three-fourths of the sample to
be common from one month to the next, and one-half to be
common with the same month a year 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 in use as of January
1994 are as follows:
Civilian noninstittttional population,, Included are persons
16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the
District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions (for
example, penal and mental facilities,, homes for the aged),
and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces,
Employed persons. All persons who, during the reference
week, (a) did any work at all (at least 1. hour) as paid employees, worked in their own business, profession, or on their own
farm, or 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 vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity
leave, labor-management dispute, job training, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the
time off or were seeking other jobs.




Each employed person is counted only once, even if he or
she holds more than one job. For purposes of occupation and
industry classification, multiple jobholders are counted in
the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours
during the reference 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 their own house (painting, repairing, or own home housework) or volunteer work
for religious, charitable, and other organizations.
Unemployed persons. All persons who had no employment
during the reference week, were available for work, except
for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find
employment sometime during the 4-week, period ending with
the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled
to a job from which they had been laid off need not have
been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.
Duration of unemployment This represents the length of
time (through the current reference week) that persons classified as unemployed had been looking for work. For persons on layoff, • duration of unemployment represents the
number of full weeks they had been on layoff. Mean duration is the arithmetic average computed from single weeks
of unemployment; median duration is the midpoint of a
distribution of weeks of unemployment.
Reason for unemployment Unemployment also is categorized according to the status of individuals at the time they
began to look for work. The reasons for unemployment are
divided into five major groups: (1) Job losers, comprising
(a) persons on temporary layoff, who have been given a date
to return to work or who expect to return within 6 months
(persons on layoff need not be looking for-work to qualify as
unemployed), and (b) permanent job losers, whose employment ended involuntarily and who began looking for work;
(2) Job leavers, persons who quit or otherwise terminated
their employment voluntarily and immediately began looking for work; (3) Persons who completed temporary jobs,
who began looking for work after the jobs ended; (4) Reentrants, persons who previously worked but who were out of
the labor force prior to beginning their job search; and (5)
New entrants, persons who had never worked. Each of these
five categories of the unemployed can be expressed as a
proportion of the entire civilian labor force; the sum of the
four rates thus equals the unemployment rate for all civilian
workers. (For statistical presentation purposes, "job losers"
and "persons who completed temporary jobs" are combined
into a single category until seasonal adjustments can be developed for the separate categories.)
1 75

Jobseekers. All unemployed persons who made specific
efforts to find a job sometime during the 4-week period preceding the survey week are classified as jobseekers. Jobseekers do not include persons classified as on temporary
layoff, who, although often looking for work, are not
required to do so to be classified as unemployed. Jobseekers
are grouped by the methods used to seek work. Only active
methods—which have the potential to result in a job offer
without further action on the part of the jobseeker—qualify
as job search. Examples include going to an employer
directly or to a public or private employment agency, seeking assistance from friends or relatives, placing or answering
ads, or using some other active 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.
Passive methods, which do not qualify as job search, include
reading (as opposed to answering or placing) "help wanted"
ads and taking a job training course.

which are derived from the 2000 Standard Occupational
Classification (SOC) and the 2002 North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). (See the following section
on historical comparability for a discussion of previous
classification systems used in the CPS.)
The class-of-worker brestkdown assigns workers to the
following categories: Private and government wage and
salary workers, self-employed workers, and unpaid family
workers. Wage and salary workers receive wages, salary,
commissions, 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,
trade, or farm. Only the unincorporated self-employed are
included in the self-employed category in the classof-worker typology. Self-employed persons who respond
that their businesses are incorporated are included among
wage and salary workers because, technically, they are
paid employees of a corporation. 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.

Labor force. This group comprises all persons classified as
employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria
described above.

Multiple jobholders. These are employed persons who, during the reference week, either had two or more jobs as a wage
and salary worker, were self-employed and also held a wage
and salary job, or worked as an unpaid family worker and
also held a wage and salary job. Excluded are self-employed
persons with multiple businesses and persons with multiple
jobs as unpaid family workers.

Unemployment rate. The unemployment rate represents the
number unemployed as a percent of the labor force.
Participation rate. This represents the proportion of the population that is in the labor force.
Employment-population ratio. This represents the proportion of the population that is employed.

Hours of work. These statistics relate to the actual number of
hours worked during the reference 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 published figures
relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the
week; all the hours are credited to the major job. Unpublished data are available for the hours worked in each job
and for usual hours.

Not in the laborforce. Included in this group are all persons
in the civilian noninstitutional population who are neither
employed nor unemployed. Information is collected on their
desire for and availability to take a job at the time of the CPS
interview, job search activity in the prior year, and reason for
not looking in the 4-week period prior to the survey week.
This group includes discouraged workers, defined as persons not in the labor force who want and are available for a
job and who have looked for work sometime in the past 12
months (or since the end of their last job if they held one
within the past 12 months), but who are not currently looking because they believe there are no jobs available or there
are none for which they would qualify.
Persons classified as not in the labor force who are in
the sample for either their fourth or eighth month are
asked additional questions relating to job history and
workseeking intentions. These latter data are available on a
quarterly basis.

At work part time for economic reasons. Sometimes referred to as involuntary part time, this category refers to individuals who gave an economic reason for working 1 to 34
hours during the reference week. Economic reasons include
slack work or unfavorable business conditions, inability to
find full-time work, and seasonal declines in demand. Those
who usually work part time must also indicate that they want
and are available for full-time work to be classified as on part
time for economic reasons.

Occupation, industry, and class of worker. This information
for the employed applies to the job held in the reference
week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job
at which they worked the greatest number of hours. The
unemployed are classified according to their last job,
Beginning in 2003, the occupational and industrial
classification of CPS data is based on the 2002 Census
Bureau occupational and industrial classification systems



At work part time for noneconomic reasons. This group includes those persons who usually work part time and were at
work 1 to 34 hours during 'the reference week for a noneconomic reason. Noneconomic reasons include, for example:
Illness or other medical limitations, childcare problems or
other family or personal obligations, school or training, retirement or Social Security limits on earnings, and being in a
176

job where full-time work is less than 35 hours. The group
also includes those who gave an economic reason loir
usually working' 1 to 34 hours bet said they do not want
to work full time or are unavailable for such work,

Usual weekly earnings. Data represent earnings before taxes
and other deductions, and include any overtime pay, commissions, or tips usually received (at the main job, in the case
of multiple jobholders). Earnings reported on a basis other
than weekly (for example, annual, monthly, hourly) are converted to weekly. 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 all self-employed
persons regardless of whether their businesses were incorporated) who usually work fall time on their sole or primary job.

Usual full- or part-time status. Data on persons "at work"
exclude persons who were temporarily absent from a job and
therefore classified in the zero-hours-worked category, "with
a job but not at work" These are persons who were absent:
from their jobs for the entire week for such reasons as bad
weather, vacation, illness, or involvement in a labor dispute,
In order to differentiate a person's normal schedule from Ms
or her activity during the reference week, persons also are
classified according to their usual full- or part-time status. lit
this context, full-time workers are those who usually worked
35 hours or more (at all jobs combined). This group will
include some individuals who worked less than 35 hours in
the reference week for either econoimc or noneconomic reasons and those who are temporarily absent from work. Siini
larly, part-time workers are those who usually work less than
35 hours per week (at all jobs), regardless of the number of
hours worked in the reference week. This may include some
individuals who actually worked more than 34 hours in the
reference week, as well as those who are temporarily absent
from work. The full-time labor force includes all employed
persons who usually work full time and unemployed persons who are either looking for full-time work or are on layoff from full-time jobs. The part-time laborforce consists of
employed persons who usually work part time and unemployed persions who are seeking or are on layoff from part •
time jobs. Unemployment rates for fall- and part-time workers are calculated using the concepts of the full- and pantime labor force.

Medium earnings. These figures indicate the value that
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 shown in this publication are calculated by linear interpolation of the $50 centered interval within which each median, falls. Data expressed
in constant dollars are deflated by the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).
Never married; married? spouse present; and other marital
status. These are the 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 living in the same
household, even though one may be temporarily absent on
business, on 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 relates to persons
who are separated due to marital problems, as well as to husbands and wives who are living apart because one or the other
was employed elsewhere or was on duty with the Armed Forces,
or for any other reasons.

White? black or African American, and Asian. These ax:;:
terms used to describe the race of persons. Persons in these:
categories are those who selected that race group only.,
Persons in the remaining race categories—American Indian
or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders,
and persons who selected more than one race category—are
included in the estimates of total employment and
unemployment but are not shown separately because the
number of survey respondents is too small to develop
estimates of sufficient quality for monthly publication. In
the enumeration process, race is determined by the
household respondent. (See the following section on
historical comparability for a discussion of changesbeginning in 2003 that affected how people are classified
by race.)

Household. A household consists of all persons—related family members and all unrelated persons—who occupy a housing unit and have no other usual address. 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.

Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. This refers to persons who
identified themselves in the enumeration process as being,
Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino, Persons whose ethnicity is
identified, as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race. • (See
the following section on historical comparability for a
discussion of changes beginning in 2003 that affected how
people are classified by Hispanic or Latino ethnicity,)



177

Family. A family is defined as 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. 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

While current survey concepts and methods are very similar

c) Persons "with a job but not at work" because of strikes,
bad weather, etc., who volunteered that they were looking
for work were shifted from unemployed status to employed.

to those introduced at the inception of the survey in 19405 a
number of changes have been made over the years to
improve the accuracy and usefulness of the data. Some of
the most important changes include:

d) Tlie lower age limit for official statistics on employment, unemployment, and other labor force concepts was
raised from 14 to 16 years. Historical data for most major
series have been revised to provide consistent information
based on the new minimum age limit.

• In 1945, the questionnaire was radically changed with
the introduction of four basic employment questions. Prior
to that time, the survey did not contain specific question
wording, but, rather, relied on a complicated scheme of
activity prioritization.

e) New questions were added to obtain additional information on persons not in the labor force, including those
referred to as "discouraged workers," defined as persons who
indicate that they want a job but are not currently looking
because they believe there are no jobs available or none for
which they would qualify.

• In 1953, the current 4-8-4 rotation system was adopted,
whereby households are interviewed for 4 consecutive
months, leave the sample for 8 months, and then return to the
sample for the same 4 months of the following year. Before
this system was introduced, households were interviewed
for 6 consecutive months and then replaced. The new system
provided some year-to-year overlap in the sample, thereby
improving measurement over time.

f) New "probing" questions were added to the questionnaire in order to increase the reliability of information on
hours of work, duration of unemployment, and self-employment.

• In 1955, the survey reference week was changed to the
calendar week including the 12th day of the month, for greater
consistency with the reference period used for other labor-related statistics. Previously, the calendar week containing the
8th day of the month had been used as the reference week.

• In 1994, major changes to the Current Population Survey (CPS) were introduced,, which included a complete redesign of the questionnaire and the use of computer-assisted
interviewing for the entire survey. In addition, there were
revisions to some of the labor force concepts and definitions, including the implementation of some changes recommended in 1979 by the National Commission on Employment and Unemployment Statistics (NCEUS, also
known as the Levitan Commission). Some of the major
changes to the survey were:

• In 1957, the employment definition was modified slightly
as a result of a comprehensive interagency review of labor
force concepts and methods. Two relatively small groups of
persons classified as employed, under "with a job but not at
work," were assigned to different classifications. Persons on
layoff with definite instructions to return to work within 30
days of the layoff date, and persons volunteering that they
were waiting to start a new wage and salary job within 30 days
of interview, were, for the most part, reassigned to the unemployed classification. The only exception was the small subgroup in school during the reference week but waiting to start:
new jobs, which was transferred to not in the labor force.

a) The introduction of a redesigned and automated questionnaire. The CPS questionnaire was totally redesigned in
order to obtain more accurate,, comprehensive, and relevant
information, and to take advantage of state-of-the-art computer interviewing techniques,
b) The addition of two, more objective, criteria to the
definition of discouraged workers. Prior to 1994, to be classified as a discouraged worker, a person must have wanted a
job and been reported as not currently looking because of a
belief that no jobs were available or that there were none for
which he or she would qualify. Beginning in 1994, persons
classified as discouraged must also have looked for a job
within the past year (or since their last job, if they worked
during the year), and must have been available for work
during the reference week (a direct question on availability
was added in 1994; prior to 1994, availability had been
inferred from responses to other questions). These changes
were made because the NCEUS and others felt that the previous definition of discouraged workers was too subjective,
relying mainly on an individual's stated desire for a job and
not on prior testing of the labor market.

• In 1967, more substantive changes were made as a result of the recommendations of the President's Committee
to Appraise Employment and Unemployment Statistics (the
Gordon Committee). The principal improvements were as
follows:
a) A 4-week job search period and specific questions on
jobseeking activity were introduced. Previously, the questionnaire was ambiguous as to the period for jobseeking,
and there were no specific questions concerning job search
methods.
b) An availability test was introduced whereby a person
must be currently available for work in order to be classified
as unemployed. Previously, there was no such requirement.
This revision to the concept mainly affected students, who,
for example, may begin to look for summer jobs in the spring
although they will not be available until June or July. Such
persons, until 1967, had been classified as unemployed but
since have been assigned to the "not in the labor force"
category.



c) Similarly, the identification of persons employed part
time for economic reasons (working less than 35 hours in the
reference week because of poor business conditions or because of an inability to find full-time work) was tightened
178

by adding two new criteria for persons who usually work
part time: They must want and be available for full-time/
work. Previously, such information was inferred. (Persons
who usually work full time but worked part time for an economic reason during the reference week are assumed to meet
these criteria,)

• In March 1973? a subsequent population adjustment based
on the 1970 census was introduced. 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 blackand-other labor force rose by about 210,000. Unemployment
levels and rates were not significantly affected.

d) Specific questions were added about the expectation of
recall for persons who indicate that they are on layoff. To be*
classified as "on temporary layoff/5 persons must expect to be
recalled to their jobs. Previously, the questionnaire did not
include explicit questions about the expectation of recall.

•

Beginning in January 1974, the method 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 in the black-and-other population—but
had little effect on estimates of the total population 16 years
and oven Additional information on the adjustment procedure appears in "CPS Population Controls Derived from Inflation-Deflation Method of Estimation," in the February
1974 issue of this publication.

e) Persons volunteering that they were waiting to start a
new job within 30 days must have looked for work in the 4
weeks prior to the survey in order to be classified as unemployed. Previously, such persons did not have to meet the
job search requirement in order to tie included among the:
unemployed.

• Effective in July 1975S as a result of the large inflow of
Vietnamese refugees to the United States, the total and blackand-other independent population controls for persons 16
years and over were adjusted upward by 76,000—30,000
men and 463000 women. The addition of the refugees increased the black-and-other population by less than 1 percent in any age-sex group, with all of the changes being
confined to the "other" component of the population.

NoncomparabHIty of labor force te¥e!s
1B addition to the refinements in concepts, definitions, and
methods made over the years, other changes also have affected the comparability of the labor force data.

• 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 this publication.

#

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 emplo3^ments and agricultural employment were;
increased by aibout 35030005 primarily affecting the figures foi
totals and for men; other categories were relatively
unaffected.

• 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.

® 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 seveneighths of the sample households had race determined by
interviewer observation. It was not until January 1980 that
the entire sample had race determined by the household
respondent. The new procedure had no significant effect on
the estimates,

• Beginning in 1972, information from the 1970 censes
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;
unemployment levels and rates were essentially unchanged.

® Beginning in January 19795 the first-stage ratio adjustment method was changed in the CPS estimation procedure.
Differences between the old and new procedures existed only
for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area estimates, not
for the iota! United States. The reasoning behind the change

#

Beginning in 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii
resulted in increases of about 500,000 in the population
and about 3009000 in the labor force. Four-fifths of the
labor force increase was in nonagricultural employment;
other labor force categories were not appreciably affected.

and an indication of the differences appear in "Revisions in
the Current Population Survey in January 1979" in the February 1979 issue of this publication.
• Beginning in January 1982, the second-stage ratio adjustment method was changed. The rationale for 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 this publication. In addition, current population estimates used in the second-stage estimation procedure were derived from information obtained from the 1980
census, rather than the 1970 census. This change caused
substantial increases in the total population and in the 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 also is described in the February 1982
article cited above. The revisions did not, however, smooth
out the breaks in series occurring between 1972 and 1979
(described above), and data users should consider them when
comparing estimates from different periods.
• Beginning in January 1983, the first-stage ratio adjustment method was updated to incorporate data from the 1980
census. The rationale for the change and an indication of its
effect on national estimates for labor force characteristics
appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey
Beginning in January 1983" in the February 1983 issue of
this publication. There were only slight differences between
the old and new procedures in estimates of levels for the
various labor force characteristics and virtually no differences in estimates of participation rates.
• Beginning in January 1985, most of the steps of the
CPS estimation procedure—the noninterview adjustment,
the first- and second-stage ratio adjustments, and the composite estimator—were revised. These procedures are described in the Estimating Methods section. A description of
the changes and an indication of their effect on national
estimates of labor force characteristics appear in "Changes
in the Estimation Procedure in the Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1985" in the February 1985 issue
of this publication. Overall, the revisions had only a slight
effect on most estimates. The greatest impact was on estimates of persons of Hispanic origin. Major estimates were
revised back to January 1980.
• Beginning in January 1986, the population controls used
in the second-stage ratio adjustment method were revised to
reflect an explicit estimate of the number of undocumented
immigrants (largely Hispanic) since 1980 and an improved
estimate of the number of emigrants among legal foreign-born
residents for the same period. As a result, the total civilian
population and labor force estimates were raised by nearly
400,000; civilian employment was increased by about
350,000. The Hispanic-origin population and labor force estimates were raised by about 425,000 and 305,000, respectively,



and Hispanic employment was Increased by 270,000. Overall
and subgroup unemployment levels and rates were not significantly affected. Because of the magnitude of the adjustments
for Hispanics, data were revised back to January 1980 to the
extent possible. An explanation of the changes and an indication of their effect on estimates of labor force characteristics
appear in "Changes in the Estimation Procedure in the Current
Population Survey Beginning in January 1986" in the February 1986 issue of this publication.
• Beginning in August 1989, the second-stage ratio estimation procedures were chainged slightly to decrease the
chance of very small cells occurring and to be more consistent with published age, sex, race cells. This change had
virtually no effect on national estimates.
• Beginning in January 1994, 1990 census-based population controls, adjusted for the estimated undercount, were
introduced into the second-stage estimation procedure. This
change resulted in substantial increases in total population
and in all major labor force categories. Effective February
1996, these controls were introduced into the estimates for
1990-93. Under the new population controls, the civilian
noninstitutional population for 1990 increased by about 1.1
million, employment by about 880,000, and unemployment
by approximately 175,000. The overall unemployment rate
rose by about 0.1 percentage point. For further information,
see "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective
January 1994," and "Revisions in Household Survey Data
Effective February 1996" in the February 1994 and March
1996 issues, respectively, of this publication.
Additionally, for the period January through May 1994,
the composite estimation procedure was suspended for technical and logistical reasons.
• Beginning in January 1997, the population controls
used in the second-stage ratio adjustment method were revised to reflect updated information on the demographic characteristics of immigrants to, and emigrants from, the United
States. As a result, the civilian noninstitutional population
16 years and over was raised by about 470,000. The labor
force and employment levels were increased by about
320,000 and 290,000, respectively. The Hispanic-origin
population and labor force estimates were raised by about
450,000 and 250,000, respectively, and Hispanic employment was increased by 325,000. Overall and subgroup unemployment rates and other percentages of labor market participation were not affected. An explanation of the changes
and an indication of their effect on national labor force estimates appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective January 1997" in the February 1997 issue of
this publication.
• Beginning in January 1998, new composite estimation
procedures and minor revisions in the population controls
were introduced into the household survey. The new composite estimation procedures simplify processing of the
monthly labor force data at BLS, allow users of the survey
180

microdata to more easily replicate the official estimates
released by BLS? and increase the reliability of the employment and labor force estimates. The new procedures also produce somewhat lower estimates of the civilian labor force
and employment and slightly higher estimates of unemployment. For example, based on 1997 annual average data, the
differences resulting from the use of old and new composite
weights were as follows: Civilian labor force (-229,000), total
employed (-256,000), and total unemployed (+27,000).
Unemployment rates were not significantly affected.
Also beginning in January 1998, the population controls
used in the survey were revised to reflect new estimates of legal
immigration to the United States and it change in the method
for projecting the emigration of foreign-bora legal residents,
As a result, the Hispanic-origin population was raised by about
57,000; however, the total civilian eoninstitutional popula
tion 16 years and over was essentially unchanged. More detailed information on these changes and their effect on the
estimates of labor force change and composition appear in
"Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective January 1998," in the February 1998 issue of this publication. •
• Beginning in January 1999, the population controls used
in the survey were revised, to reflect newly updated inforaiatioii
on immigration. As a result, the civilian nonmstitutionai
population 16 years and over was raised by about 310,000,
The impact of the changes varied for different
demographic groups. The civilian noninstitutional population
for men 16 years and over was lowered by about 185,0009 while:
that for women was increased by about 490,000. The Hispanicorigin population was lowered by about 165,000 while that of
persons of non-Hispanic origin was raised by about 470,000.,
Overall labor force and employment levels were increased by
about 60,000 each, while the Hispanic labor force and
employment estimates were reduced by about 225,000 and
215,000, respectively. The changes had only a small impact on
overall and subgroup unemployment rates and other
percentages of labor market participation. An explanation of
the changes and an indication of their effect, on national labor
force estimates appear in "Revisions in the Current Population!
Survey Effective January 1999" in the February 1999 issue of
this publication.
• Beginning in January 2003, several major changes were
introduced into the CPS. Hiese changes included:
a) Population controls that reflected the results of Census
2000 were introduced into the monthly CPS estimation
process. These new population controls substantially
increased the size of the civilian noninstitutional population.
and the civilian labor force. Data from January 2000 through
December 2002 were revised to reflect the higher population
estimates from Census 2000 and the higher rates of
population growth since the census. At the start of the
revision period (January 2000), the new controls raised the
civilian noninstitutional population and the civilian labor
force by 2.6 and 1.6 million, respectively. By December



181

2002, the civilian population and labor force were 3.8 and
2.5 million, respectively, higher than originally estimated.
In addition to these revisions, the U.S. Census Bureau
introduced another large upward adjustment to the
population controls as part of its annual update of population estimates for 2003. The entire amount of this adjustment was added to the labor force data in January 2003
resulting in increases of 941,000 to the civilian
noninstitutional population and 614,000 to the civilian
labor force. The unemployment rate and other ratios were
not substantially affected by either of these population
control adjustments.
b) The modification of the questions on race and Hispanic
origin to comply with new standards for maintaining,
collecting, and presenting Federal data on race and ethnicity
for Federal statistical agencies. In accordance with the new
standards, the following changes were made to the CPS
questions: 1) Individuals were now asked whether they are
of Hispanic ethnicity before being asked about their race.
Prior to 2003, individuals were asked their ethnic origin
after they were asked about their race. 2) Individuals were
now asked directly if they are Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino.
Previously, individuals were identified as Hispanic based
on their, or their ancestors', country of origin. 3) With respect
to race, the response category of Asian and Pacific Islanders
was split into two categories: a) Asian and b) Native Hawaiian
or Other Pacific Islanders. 4) Individuals were allowed to
choose more than one race category. Prior to 2003,
individuals who considered themselves to belong to more
than one race were required to select a single primary race.
5) The questions were reworded to indicate that individuals
could select more than one race category and to convey
more clearly that individuals should report their own
perception of what their race is. These changes had no impact
on the overall civilian noninstitutional population and
civilian labor force but did reduce the population and labor
force levels of whites, blacks or African Americans, and
Asians beginning in January 2003. For whites and blacks,
the differences resulted from the exclusion of individuals
who reported more than one race from those groups. For
Asians, the difference resulted from the same restriction as
well as the split of the old Asian and Pacific Islander category
into two separate categories. Analysis of data from a special
CPS supplement conducted in May 2002 indicated that these
changes reduced the population and labor force levels for
whites by about 950,000 and 730,000, respectively, and for
blacks and African Americans by about 320,000 and 240,000,
respectively, while having little or no impact on their
unemployment rates. For Asians, the changes had the effect
of reducing the their population by about 1.1 million and
their labor force by about 720,000, but did not have a
statistically significant effect on their unemployment rate.
The changes did not affect the size of the Hispanic or Latino
population and had no significant impact on the size of
their labor force, but did cause an increase of about half a
percentage point in their unemployment rate.

c) Improvements were introduced to both the secondstage and composite weighting procedures. These changes
adapted the weighting procedures to the new race/ethnic
classification system and enhanced the stability over time
of national and State/substate labor force estimates for
demographic groups.
More detailed information on these changes and an
indication of their effect on national labor force estimates
appear in "Revisions to the Current Population Survey
Effective in January 2003" in the February 2003 issue of
this publication available on the Internet at http://
www.bls.gov/cps/rvcpsO3.pdt
• Beginning in January 2004, the population controls
used in the survey were updated to reflect revised estimates
of net international migration for 2000 through 2003. The
updated controls resulted in a decrease of 560,000 in the
estimated size of the civilian noninstitutional population
16 years of age and over for December 2003. The civilian
labor force and employment levels decreased by 437,000
and 409,000, respectively. The Hispanic or Latino population and labor force estimates declined by 583,000 and
446,000, respectively and Hispanic or Latino employment
was lowered by 421,000. The updated controls had little or
no effect on overall and subgroup unemployment rates and
measures of labor market participation. More detailed
information on the effect of the updated controls on
national labor force estimates appears in "Adjustments to
Household Survey Population Estimates in January 2004"
in the February 2004 issue of this publication available on
the Internet at http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsO4adj.pdf.
• Beginning in January 2005, the population controls used
in the survey were adjusted to reflect revised estimates of
net international migration and updated vital statistics
information. The updated controls resulted in a decrease of
8,000 in the estimated size of the civilian noninstitutional
population 16 years of age and over for December 2004. The
civilian labor force and employment levels decreased by
49,000 and 45,000, respectively. The updated controls had
no effect on overall and subgroup unemployment rates and
measures of labor market participation such the labor force;
participation rate and the employment-population ratio. More
detailed information on the effect of the updated controls on
national labor estimates appears in "Adjustments to
Household Survey Population Estimates in January 2005" in
the February 2005 issue of this publication available on the
Internet at http://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsO5adj.pdf.
Changes in the occupational and industrial
classification systems
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 monthly CPS ques


tionnaire in order to more precisely determine 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 this publication.
Beginning in January 1983, the occupational and industrial
classification systems used in the 1980 census were introduced
into the CPS. The 1980 census occupational classification
system evolved from the Standard Occupational Classification
(SOC) system and was 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 self-employed proprietors in retail trade establishments
from "managers and administrators, except farm."
The industrial classification system used in the 1980 census was based on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification
(SIC) system, 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 and
of 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 this publication.
Beginning in January 1992, the occupational and industrial classification systems used in the 1990 census were introduced into the CPS. (These systems were based largely on the
1980 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) and 1987
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) systems, respectively.)
There were a few breaks in comparability between the 1980
and 1990 census-based systems, particularly within the "technical, sales, and administrative support" categories. The most
notable changes in industry classification were the shift of
several industries from "business services" to "professional
services" and the splitting of some industries into smaller,
more detailed categories. A number of industry titles were
changed as well, with no change in content.
Beginning in January 2003, the 2002 Census Bureau
occupational and industrial classification systems were
introduced into the CPS. These systems were derived from
the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) and
the 2002 North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS). The composition of detailed occupational and
industrial classifications in the new classification systems
182

was substantially changed from the previous systems In use
as was the structure for aggregating them Into broad groups.
Consequently, the use of the new classification systems
created breaks In existing data series at all levels of
aggregation. Additional Information on the 2002 Census
Bureau occupational and Industrial classification systems
appears in "Revisions to the Current Population Survey
Effective in January 2003" In the February 2003 issue
of this publication available on the Internet at http://

Sampling
Since the inception of the survey, there have been various
changes in the design of the CPS sample. The sample traditionally Is redesigned and a new sample selected after eac !i
decennial census. Also, the number of sample areas and the
number of sample persons are changed occasionally,, Mosjt
of these changes are made to improve the efficiency of the
sample design, Increase the reliability of the sample estimates, or control cost.
Changes in this regard since 1960 axe as follows: Wheai
Alaska and Hawaii received statehood in 1959 and. I960,
respectively, three sample areas were added to the existing
sample to account for the population of these States. In January 1978, a supplemental sample of 990GG housing units,
selected in 24 States and the District of Columbia, was designed to provide more reliable annual average estimates f bi
States. In October 1978, a coverage Improvement sample o:i'
approximately 450 sample household units representing
237,000 occupied mobile homes and 6009000 new construe- •
tion housing units was added. In January 1980, anotihe::1
supplemental sample of 9,000 households selected in 32
States and the District of Columbia was added. A sample;
reduction of about 6,000 units was iniplemeated in May 1981,
In January 1982, the sample was expanded by 100 households to provide additional coverage In counties added tj:
the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMS As), which
were redefined in 1973. In January 1985, a new State-basedl
CPS sample was selected based on 19R0 censai;;
information. A sample reduction of about 4,000 household <;
was implemented in April 1988; the households were reifistated during the 8-month period, April-November 1989, J*.
redesigned CPS sample based on the 1990 decennial cenaui:;
was selected for use during the 1990s, Households from this
new sample were phased Into the CPS between April 1994
and July 1995. The July 1995 sample was the first monthly
sample based entirely on the 1990 census* For further information on 'the 1990 sample redesign, see "Redesign of ik&
Sample for the Current Population Survey" in the May 1994
Issue of this publication.
In 1996, the original sample design reliability criteria
were modified to reduce costs* In July 2001, the CPS sample
was expanded to support the State Children's Health Insurance Program. A redesigned CPS sample based on Census
2000, the 2000 decennial census, was selected for use d urIng the 2000s. Households from the new sample were phased
Into the CPS from April 2004 to July 2005. The July 2005



183

sample was the first monthly sample based entirely on Census 2000= For further Information on the 2000 sample redesign, see "Redesign of the Sample for the Current Population Survey"' In the December 2004 issue of this publication
The current criteria, given below, are based on the coefficient of variation (CV) of the unemployment level, where
the CV is defined as the standard error of the estimate divided by the estimate, expressed as a percentage. These CV
controls assume a 6-percent unemployment rate to establish
a consistent specification of sampling error.
The current sample design includes about 72,000 "assigned" housing units from 824 sample areas. Sufficient
sample Is allocated to maintain, at most, a 1.9-percent CV
on national monthly estimates of unemployment level, assuming a 6-percent unemployment rate. This translates into
a change of 0.2 percentage point in the unemployment rate
being significant at a 90-percent confidence level. For each
of the 50 States and for the District of Columbia, the design
maintains a CV of at most 8 percent on the annual average
estimate of unemployment level, assuming a 6-percent unemployment rate. About 60,000 housing units are required
in order to meet the national and State reliability criteria.
Due to the national reliability criterion, estimates for several large States are substantially more reliable than the
State design criterion requires. Annual average unemployment estimates for California, Florida, New York, and Texas,
for example, carry a CV of less than 4 percent. In support of
the State Children's Health Insurance Program, about 12,000
additional housing units are allocated to the District of Columbia and 26 States. (These are generally the States with
the smallest samples after the 60,000 housing units are allocated to satisfy the national and State reliability criteria.)
In the first stage of sampling, the 824 sample areas are
chosen. In the second stage, ultimate sampling units are
selected. Each month, about 72,000 housing units are assigned for data collection, of which about 60,000 are occupied and thus eligible for interview. The remainder are units
found to be destroyed, vacant, converted to nonresidential
use, containing persons whose usual place of residence is
elsewhere, or Ineligible for other reasons. Of the 60,000
housing units, about 7.5 percent are not interviewed in a
given month due to temporary absence (vacation, etc.), other
failures to make contact after repeated attempts, inability
of persons contacted to respond, unavailability for other
reasons, and refusals to cooperate (about half of the
noninteraews). Information Is obtained each month for
about 112,000 persons 16 years of age or older.
Selection of sample areas. The entire area of the United
States, consisting of 3,142 counties and independent cities, is divided Into 2s025 sample units (PSUs). A PSU consists of a county or a number of contiguous counties.
Metropolitan areas within a State are used as a basis for
forming PSUs. Outside of metropolitan areas, counties normally are combined except when the geographic area of an
Individual county Is too large. Combining counties to form

rily in urban areas. The area stratum contains blocks with
addresses that are more difficult to locate. Area blocks exist
primarily in rural areas.
To reduce the variability of the survey estimates and to ensure that the within-PSU sample would reflect the demographic
and socioeconomic characteristics of the PSU, blocks within
the unit, group-quarters, and area strata were sorted using geographic and block-level data from the census. Examples of the
census variables used for sorting include proportion of minority renter-occupied housing units, proportion of housing units
with female householders, and proportion of owner-occupied
housing units. The specific sorting variables used differed by
type of PSU (urban or rural) and stratum.
Within each block, housing units were sorted geographically. A systematic sample of these units was then selected
independently from each strattom using the appropriate withinPSU sampling ratio. The geographic sorting of the sample units
reduces field representative travel costs. Prior to interviewing,
special listing procedures are used to locate the particular
sample addresses in the group-quarters and area blocks.
Units in the three strata described above all existed at the
time of Census 2000. Through a series of additional procedures, a sample of building permits is included in the CPS to
represent housing units built after the decennial census.
Adding these newly built units keeps the sample up to date
and representative of the population. It also helps to keep
the sample size stable: Over the life of the sample, the addition of newly built housing units compensates for the loss of
"old" units that may be abandoned, demolished, or converted
to nonresidential use.

PSUs provides greater heterogeneity; a typical PSU includes
urban and rural residents of both high and low economic
levels and encompasses, to the extent feasible, diverse occupations and industries. Another important consideration
is that the PSU be sufficiently compact so that, with a small
sample spread throughout, it can be efficiently canvassed
without undue travel cost.
The 2,025 PSUs are grouped into strata within each State.
Then, one PSU is selected from each stratum with the probability of selection proportional to the population of the
PSU. Nationally, there are a total of 446 PSUs in strata by
themselves. These strata are self-representing and are generally the most populous PSUs in each State. The 328 remaining strata are formed by combining PSUs that are similar in
such characteristics as unemployment, proportion of housing units with three or more persons, number of persons
employed in various industries, and average monthly wages
for various industries. The single PSU randomly selected
from each of these strata is nonself-representing because it
represents not only itself but the entire stratum. The probability of selecting a particular PSU in a nonself-representing stratum is proportional to its 2000 population. For
example, within a stratum, the chance that a PSU with a
population of 50,000 would be selected for the sample is
twice that for a PSU having a population of 25,000.
Selection of sample households. Because the sample design is
State based, the sampling ratio differs by State and depends on
State population size as well as both national and State reliability requirements. The State sampling ratios range roughly
from 1 in every 100 households to 1 in every 3,000 households. The sampling ratio occasionally is modified slightly to
hold the size of the sample relatively constant given the overall growth of the population. The sampling ratio used within a
sample PSU depends on the probability of selection of the PSU
and the sampling ratio for the State. In a sample PSU with a
probability of selection of 1 in 10 and a State sampling ratio of
3,000, a within-PSU sampling ratio of 1 in 300 achieves the
desired ratio of 1 in 3,000 for the stratum.
The 2000 within-PSU sample design was developed using
block-level data from Census 2000. Normally, census blocks
are bounded by streets and other prominent physical features such as rivers or railroad tracks. County, minor civil
division, and census place limits also serve as block boundaries. In cities, blocks can be bounded by four streets and be
quite small in land area. In rural areas, blocks can be several
square miles in size.
For the purpose of sample selection, census blocks were
grouped into three strata: Unit, group quarters, and area.
(Occasionally, units within a block were split between the
unit and group-quarters strata.) The unit stratum contained
regular housing units with addresses that were easy to locate
(for example, most single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums, apartment units, and mobile homes). The groupquarters stratum contained housing units in which residents
shared common facilities or received formal or authorized
care or custody. Unit and group-quarters blocks exist prima


Rotation of sample. Part of the sample is changed each
month. Each monthly sample is divided into eight representative subsamples or rotation groups. A given rotation group
is interviewed for a total of 8 months, divided into two equal
periods. It is in the sample for 4 consecutive months, leaves
the sample during the following 8 months, and then returns
for another 4 consecutive months. In each monthly sample,
one of the eight rotation groups is in the first month of enumeration, another rotation gromp is in the second month, and
so on. Under this system, 75 percent of the sample is common from month to month, and 50 percent is common from
year to year for the same month. This procedure provides a
substantial amount of month-to- month and year-to-year overlap in the sample, thus providing better estimates of change
and reducing discontinuities in the data series without burdening any specific group of households with an unduly
long period of inquiry.

CPS sample design appears in chapter 2 of "The Current

cal. Area (MSA) status and size. Within each cluster, there Is
a further breakdown by residence. Each MSA cluster is split
by "central city" and "balance of the MSA.9" Each non-MSA
cluster is split by "urban" and "rural" residence categories.
The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies
from 7 to 8 percent, depending on weather, vacation, etc.

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 by the inverse of the probability of
the person being In the sample. This gives a rough measure
of the number of actual persons that the sample person represents. Since 1985, most sample persons within the same State
have had the same probability of selection. Some selection
probabilities may differ within a State due to the sample
design or for operational reasons. Field subsampling, for example, which is carried out when areas selected for the sample
are found to contain many more households than expected,
may cause probabilities of selection to differ for some sample
areas within a State. Through a series of estimation steps
(outlined below), the selection probabilities are adjusted for
nonlnterviews and survey undercoverage; data from previous months are Incorporated into the estimates through the
composite estimation procedure.

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 State-of residence. Because 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 adjustment, as follows:
a. First-stage ratio estimation. The purpose of the firststage ratio adjustment is to reduce the contribution to variance that results from selecting a sample of PSUs rather than
drawing sample households from every PSU in the Nation.
This adjustment is made to the CPS weights In two race cells:
Black and nonblack; It Is applied only to PSUs that are not
self-representing and for those States that have a substantial
number of black households. The procedure corrects for differences that existed in each State cell at the time of Census
2000 between 1) the race distribution of the population In
sample PSUs and 2) the race distribution of all PSUs. (Both 1
and 2 exclude self-representing PSUs.)
b. National coverage adjustment The purpose of this
step is to improve the adjustment for subpopulations most
prone to endercoverage. It adjusts CPS sample weights to
independent population estimates for .34 white non-

L Nonintetyiew adjustment The weights for all interviewed
households are adjusted 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 noninterview adjustment Is made separately for clusters of similar sample areas
that are usually, but not necessarily, contained within a State.
Similarity of sample areas is based on Metropolitan Statisti

months in the CPS being generally higher than estimates
obtained for the other months.
The composite estimate results in a reduction in the sampling error beyond that which is achieved after the two stages
of ratio adjustment. For some items, the reduction is substantial. The resultant gains in reliability are greatest in estimates
of month-to-month change, although gains usually are also
obtained for estimates of level in a given month, change from
year to year, and change over other intervals of time.

c. State coverage adjustment. This step adjusts CPS
sample weights to independent state population estimates.
The number of age-sex cells for each state varies, depending
on the black and nonblack population.
d. Second-stage ratio estimation. This procedure substantially reduces the variability of estimates and corrects, to
some extent, for CPS undercoverage. A national-coverage
step and a State-coverage step make preliminary corrections
for undercoverage. The CPS sample weights are then
adjusted to ensure that sample-based estimates of population match independent population controls. Three sets of
controls are used in different steps of the procedure:

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.

1) State step: Civilian noninstitutional population
controls for 6 age-sex cells in the Los Angeles-Long Beach
metropolitan area, the balance of California, New York City,
the balance of New York State, each of the other 48 States,
and the District of Columbia.

Reliability of the estimates
An estimate based on a sample survey has two types of error
sampling error and nonsanipling error. The estimated standard errors provided in this publication are approximations
of the true sampling errors. They incorporate the
effect of some nonsampling errors in response and enumeration, but do not account for any systematic biases in the
data.

2) Ethnicity step: National civilian noninstitutional
population controls for 26 Hispanic and 26 non-Hispanic
age-sex cells.
3) Race step: National civilian noninstitutional
population controls for 34 white, 26 black, and 26 Asianplus-residual-race age-sex cells.

Nonsampling error. The foil extent of nonsampling error is
unknown, but special studies have been conducted to quantify some sources of nonsampling error in the CPS. The
effect of nonsampling error is small on estimates of relative
change, such as month-to-month change; estimates of
monthly levels tend to be affected to a greater degree.
Nonsampling errors in surveys can be attributed to many
sources, for example, the inability to obtain information about
all persons in the sample; differences in the interpretation of
questions; inability or unwillingness of respondents to provide correct information; inability of respondents to recall
information; errors made in collecting and 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 are 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
CPS are subject to moderate systematic biases. A description of the CPS reinterview program may be found in Appendix G, "Pointerview: Design and Methodology," of
"The Current Population Survey: Design and Methodology,"
Technical Paper 63RV {Washington, U.S. Census Bureau and
Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2002), available on the
Internet at www.bls.ceesus.gov/cps/tp/tp63.htm.
The effects of some components of nonsampling error in

The independent population controls are prepared by projecting forward the resident population as enumerated on
April 1, 2000. The projections are derived by updating
demographic census data with information from a variety of
other data sources that account for births, deaths, and net
migration. Estimated numbers of resident Armed Forces
personnel and institutionalized persons reduce the resident
population to the civilian noninstitutional population. Prior
to January 2003, the projections were based on earlier
censuses. See "Revisions to the Current Population Survey
Effective in January 2003," in the February 2003 issue of
this publication for a detailed discussion of changes to the
second-stage weighting and composite estimating procedures that were introduced in January 2003.
3. Composite estimation procedure. The last step in the
preparation of most CPS estimates makes use of a composite
estimation procedure. The composite estimate consists of a
weighted average of two factors: The two-stage ratio estimate based on the entire sample from the current month and
the composite estimate for the previous month, plus an estimate of the month-to-month change based on the six rotation groups common to both months. In addition, a bias
adjustment term is added to the weighted average to
account for relative bias associated with month-in-sample
estimates. This month-in-sample bias is exhibited by
unemployment estimates for persons in their first and fifth

the CPS data can be examined as a result of the rotation plan
used for the sample, because the level of the estimates varies
by rotation group. A description appears in Barbara A, Bailar,
"The Effects of Rotation Group Bias on Estimates from Panel
Surveys/9 Journal of the American Statistical Association,
March 1975, pp. 23-30.
Undercoverage in the CPS results from missed housing
units and missed persons within sample households. The
CPS covers about 92 percent of the decennial census population (adjusted for census undercount). It is known that the
CPS undercoverage varies with age, sex, race, and Hispanic
origin. Generally, undercoverage is larger for men than for
women and is larger for blacks, Hispanics, and other races
than for whites. Ratio adjustment to independent age-sexrace-origin 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 characteristics different from those
of interviewed persons in 'the same age-sex-race-origin group.
Additional information on nonsampling error in the CPS
appears in Camilla Brooks and Barbara Bailar, "An Error
Profile: Employment as Measured by the Current Population
Survey/' Statistical Policy Working Paper 3 (Washington,
U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Federal Statistical
Policy and Standards, September 1978); Marvin Thompson
and Gary Shapiros "The Current Population Survey: An
Overview," Annals of Economic and Social Measurement,,
Vol. 2, April 1973; and "Hie Current Population Survey:
Design and Methodology," Technical Paper 63RV referenced
above. The last document includes a comprehensive
discussion of various sources of errors and describes attempts
to measure them in the CPS,

These confidence interval statements are approximately
true for the CPS. Although the estimating methods used in
the CPS do not produce unbiased estimates, biases for most
estimates are believed to be small. Methods for estimating
standard errors reflect not only sampling errors but also some
kinds of nonsampling error. Although both the estimates and
the estimated standard errors depart from the theoretical ideal,
the departures are minor and have little impact on the confidence interval statements. When clarity is needed, an estimated confidence interval is specified to be "approximate,"
as is the estimated standard error used in the computation.
Tables 1-B through 1-D are provided so that approximate
standard errors of estimates can be easily obtained. Tables
1~B and 1-C give approximate standard errors for estimated
monthly levels and rates for selected employment status
characteristics; the tables also provide approximate standard

Sampling error. When a sample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed, estimates differ from the true population values that they represent. This difference, or sampling error.,
occurs by chance, and its variability is measured by the standard error of the estimate. Sample estimates from a given survey design are unbiased when an average of the estimates from
all possible samples would y ield, hypothetical^ the true population value. In this case,, the sample estimate and its standard
error can be used to construct approximate confidence intervals,, or ranges of values that include the true population value:
with known probabilities.. If the process of selecting a sample:;
from the population were repeated many times, an estimate:
made from each sample, and a suitable estimate of its standard
error calculated for each sample, then:

errors for consecutive month-to-month changes in the
estimates. It is impractical to show approximate standard
errors for all CPS estimates in this publication, so table 1-D
provides parameters and factors that allow the user to
calculate approximate standard errors for a wide range of
estimated levels, rates, and percentages, and also changes
over time. The parameters and factors are used in formulas
that are commonly called generalized variance functions,,
The approximate standard errors provided in this publication are based on the sample design and estimation procedures as of 1996, and reflect the population levels and sample
size as of that year. Standard errors for years prior to 1996
may be roughly approximated by applying these adjustments
to the standard errors presented here. (More accurate standard error estimates for historical CPS data may be found in
previous issues of this publication.)

tor 1.645 to obtain 341,000. This number is subtracted
from and then added to 65,000,000 to obtain an approximate 90-percent confidence interval: 64,659,000 to
65,341,000. Concluding that the true civilian labor force
level lies; within an interval calculated in this way would be
correct for roughly 90 percent of all possible samples that
could have been selected for the CPS.
Use of table 1-D. This table gives a and h parameters that can
be used with formulas to calculate approximate monthly standard errors for a wide range of estimated levels, proportions,
and rates. Factors are provided to convert monthly measures
into approximate standard errors of estimates for other periods
(quarterly and yearly averages) and approximate standard errors for changes over time (consecutive monthly changes,
changes in consecutive quarterly and yearly averages, and
changes iiri monthly estimates 1 year apart).
The standard errors for estimated changes in level from
one month to the next, one year to the next, etc., depend
more on the monthly levels for characteristics than on the
size of the changes. Likewise, the standard errors for changes
in rates (or percentages) depend more on the monthly rates
(or percentages) than on the size of the changes. Accordingly, the factors presented in table 1-D are applied to the
monthly standard error approximations for levels, percentages, or rates; the magnitudes of the changes do not come
into play. Factors are not given for estimated changes between nonconsecutive months (except for changes of monthly
estimates 1 year apart); however, the standard errors may be
assumed to be higher than the standard errors for consecutive monthly changes.

Standard errors of estimated levels using table 1-D. The
approximate standard error se(x) of x, an estimated monthly
level, can be obtained using the formula below, where a and
b are the parameters from table 1-D associated with a particular characteristic.

2. For the years 1956 through 1966, multiply the standard
errors by 1.17.
3. For years prior to 1956, multiply the standard errors by

Illustration. Assume that, in a given a month, there are an
estimated 4 million unemployed men. Obtain the appropriate a and b parameters from table 1-D (Total or white; Men;
Unemployed). Use the formula for se(x) to compute an approximate standard error on the estimate of x = 4,000,000.

Use of tables 1-B and 1-C. These tables provide a quick
reference for standard errors of major characteristics. Table
1-B gives approximate standard errors for estimates of
monthly levels and consecutive month-to-month changes
in levels for major employment status categories. Table 1-C
gives approximate standard errors for estimates of monthly
unemployment rates and consecutive month-to-month
changes in unemployment rates for some demographic,
occupational, and industrial categories. For characteristics
not given in tables 1-B and 1-C, refer to table 1-D.

Procedure for using table 1-D factors for levels. Table 1-D
gives factors that can be used to compute approximate standard errors of levels for other periods or for changes over
time. For each characteristic, factors/are given for:
Consecutive month-to-month changes
Changes in monthly estimates 1 year apart
Quarterly averages
Changes in consecutive quarterly averages
Yearly averages
Changes in consecutive yearly averages

Illustration. Suppose that, for a given month, the number
of women age 20 years and over in the civilian labor force is
estimated to be 65,000,000. For this characteristic, the approximate standard error of 207,000 is given in table
1-B in the row "Women, 20 years and over; Civilian labor
force." To calculate an approximate 90-percent confidence
interval, multiply the standard error of 207,000 by the fac


b = 2970.55

For a given characteristic, the table 1-D factor is used in
the following formula, which also uses the a and b parameters from the same line of the table. A three-step procedure
for using the formula is given. The/in the formula is frequently called an adjustment factor, because it appears to
adjust a monthly standard, error se(x). However, the x in the
formula is not. a monthly level, but an average of several
monthly levels; (see examples listed under Step 1,..below).
se{x,

/ ) = / * se(x) = / * 4 {ax2 + bx)

where x is an average of monthly levels over a designated
period.
Step 1. Average monthly levels appropriately in order to
obtain x. Levels for 3 months are averaged for quarterly
averages, and those for 12 months are averaged for yearly
averages. For changes in consecutive averages, average over
the 2 months, 2 quarters, or 2 years involved. For changes in
monthly estimates 1 year apart, average the 2'months involved.
Step 2. Calculate an approximate standard error se(x),
treating the average x from step 1 as if it were an estimate of
level for a single month. Obtain parameters a and b from
table 1-D. (Note that, for some characteristics, an approximate standard error of level could instead be obtained from,
table 1-B and used in place ofse(x) in the formula.)
Step 3. Determine the standard error se (x,j) on the average level or on the change in level Multiply the result from
step 2 by the appropriate factor/. The a and b parameters
used in step 2 and the factor/used in this step come from the
same line in table 1-D.

For an approximate 90-percent confidence interval, compete 1.645 * 120,000 « 197,000. Subtract the number from
and add the number to 150,000 to obtain an interval
of -47,000 to 347,000. This is an approximate 90-percent
confidence interval for the true change, and since this interval includes zero, one cannot assert at this level of confidence that any real change has occurred in the unemployment level. The result also can be expressed by saying that
the apparent change of 150,000 is not significant at a 90percent confidence level.
Illustration of a standard error computation for quarterly
average level. Suppose that an approximate standard error
is desired for a quarterly average of the black or African
American employment level. Suppose that the estimated
employment levels for the 3 months making up the quarter
are 14,900,000, 15,000,000, and 15,100,000.
Step 1. The average of the three monthly levels is x =
15,000,000.
Step 2. Apply the a and b parametersfromtable 1 -D (Black;
Tbtal; Civilian labor force, employed, and not in labor force)
to the average x, treating it like an estimate for a single month.

result from step 2.

Illustration of a standard error computation for change in
quarterly level Continuing the example, suppose that, in
the next quarter, the estimated average employment level for
blacks is 15,400,000, based on monthly levels of 15,300,000,
15,400,000,'and 15,500,000. This is an estimated increase
of 400,000 over the previous quarter.

Illustration of a standard error computation for consecutive month change in level Continuing the previous example, suppose that in the next month the estimated number
of unemployed men increases by 150,000, from 4,000,000
to 4,150,000. •

Step 1. The average of the two quarterly levels is x =

For an approximate 95-percent confidence interval, compute 1.96 * 108,000 « 212,000. Subtract the number from
and add the number to 400,000 to obtain an interval of
188,000 to 612,000. The interval excludes zero. Another
way of stating this is to observe that the estimated change of
400,000 clearly exceeds 1.96 standard errors, or 212,000.
One can conclude from these data that the change in quarterly averages is significant at a 95-percent confidence level.

Step 1. Appropriately average estimates of monthly rates
or percentages to obtain p9 and also average estimates of
monthly levels to obtain y. Rates for 3 months are averaged
for quarterly averages, and those for 12 months are averaged
for yearly averages. For changes in consecutive averages,
average over the 2 months, 2 quarters, or 2 years
involved. For changes in monthly estimates 1 year apart,
average the 2 months involved.

Standard errors of estimated rates and percentages using
table 1-D. As shown in the formula below, the approximate
standard error se(p,y) of an estimated rate or percentage
p depends, in part, upon the number of persons y in its
base or denominator. Generally, rates and percentages
are not published unless the monthly base is greater
than 75,000 persons, the quarterly average base is greater
than 60,000 persons, or the yearly average base is greater
than 35,000 persons. The b parameter is obtained from
table 1-D. When the base v and the numerator of/? are
from different categories within the table, use the b parameter from table 1-D relevant to the numerator of the rate or
percentage.

Step 2. Calculate an approximate standard error
se (p, y), treating the averages p and y from step 1 as if they
were estimates for a single month. Obtain the b parameter
from the table 1-D row that describes the numerator of the
rate or percentage. (Note that, for some characteristics, an
approximate standard error could instead be obtained from
table 1-C and used in place of se (p, y) in the formula.)
Step 3. Determine the standard error se (p,y,f) on the
average level or on the change in level. Multiply the result
from step 2 by the appropriate factor/. The b parameter used
in step 2 and the factor/used in this step come from the same
line in table 1-D.
Illustration of a standard error computation for consecutive month change in percentage. Continuing the previous
example, suppose that, in the next month, 6,300,000 women
20 to 24 years of age are reported employed, and that
2,150,000, or 34 percent, are part-time workers.

Note that se(p,y)is in percent.
Illustration. For a given month, suppose y = 6,200,000
women 20 to 24 years of age are estimated to be employed.
Of this total, 2,000,000, or/? = 32 percent, are classified as
part-time workers. Obtain the parameter b = 3095.55 from
the table 1-D row (Employment; Part-time workers) that is
relevant to the numerator of the percentage. Apply the formula to obtain:

se(p,y) =

3095.55

Step 1. The month-to-nionth change is 2 percent = 34
percent - 32 percent. The average of the two monthly percentages of 32 percent and 34 percent is needed (p = 33
percent), as is the average of the two bases of 6,200,000 and
6,300,000 (y = 6,250,000).
Step 2. Apply the b = 3095.55 parameter from table 1-D
(Employment; Part-time workers) to the averaged p and y,
treating the averages like estimates for a single month.

((32)(100-32)«i.opercent

6,200,000

For an approximate 95-percent confidence interval, compute 1.96 *• 1.0 percent, and round the result to 2 percent.
Subtract this from and add this to the estimate of p = 32
percent to obtain an interval of 30 percent to 34 percent.

se(P,:

Step 3. Obtain/=1.24 from the same row of table 1-D in
the column "Consecutive month-to-month change," and multiply the factor by the result from step 2.

Procedurefor using table 1-Dfactors for rates and percentages. Table 1-D factors can be used to compute approximate
standard errors on rates and percentages for other
periods or for changes over time. As for levels, there are three
steps in the procedure for using the formula.

se (2 percent) = 1.24 * 1.0 percent = 1.24 percent
For an approximate 95-percent confidence interval,
compute 1.96 * 1.24 percent, and round the result to 2.4
percent. Subtract this from and add this to the 2-percent
estimate of change to obtain an interval of -0.4 percent to
4.4 percent. Because this interval includes zero, it can be
concluded at a 95-percent confidence level that the change
is not significant.

where p and y are averages of monthly estimates over a designated period. Note that se (p, y,f) is in percent.

Establishment Data
(SSB" tables)

Chart 1 shows the percentage of the establishments using
different data collection methods.

DATA COLLECTION
BLS cooperates with State Workforce Agencies In the:
Current Employment Statistics (CES), or establishment,
survey to collect data each month on employment, hours,
and earnings from a sample of nonfarm establishments:
(Including government). The sample Includes about 160,000'
businesses and government agencies covering approximately
400,000 Individual worksites. The sample Is drawn from a
sampling frame of over 8 million iinemployment insurance:
tax accounts. The active CES sample Includes approximately
one-third of all nonfarm payroll workers. From these data,,,
a large number of employment, hours; and earnings series
in considerable Industry and geographic detail are prepared
and published each month. Historical statistics are available
at http://www.bls.gov, the BLS Internet site.Each month; BLS and the State' agencies collect data on
employment, payrolls, and paid hours from a sample of
establishments. BLS lias-established a comprehensive
program of new sample unit solicitation In the three BLS
regional office data collection centers (DCCs). The BCCs

entry (TDE)3 FAX, or Web, In addition, the DCCs conduct
an ongoing program of refusal conversion. Very large firms
are often enrolled via personal visit and ongoing reporting
is established via electronic data interchange (EDI).
EDI Is the most frequently used collection mode (32
percent of respondents), while CATI and TDE are each
used by about one-quarter of the respondents. Under
EDI, the firm provides an electronic file to BLS each month
In a prescribed file format. This file Includes data for all of
the firms5 worksites. The file Is received, processed, and
edited by the BLS-opeiated EDI Center. Under the TD.E
system, the respondent uses a touchtone telephone to call a
toll-free nmnber and activate an interview session. The
questionnaire resides on the computer In the form of
prerecorded questions that are read to the respondent, The
respondent enters numeric responses by pressing the
touchtone phone buttons. Each answer Is read back for
respondent verification. ;
CATI and FAX collection through the regional BLS DCCs
combined account for most, of the remainder of the reports.
For establishments that: do not use the above methods, data.
are collected by the State agency using mail, FAX3 transcript,
magnetic tape9 or computer diskette. About 53000 firms
provide data through the World Wide Web.

CONCEPTS

Industrial classification
All data on employment, hours, and earnings for the Nation
and for States and areas are classified in accordance with
the 2002 North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS), U.S. Office of Management and Budget. The
United States, Canada^ and Mexico share this classification
system, and thus it allows a direct comparison of economic
data between the three countries.
Establishments are classified into industries on the basis
of their primary activity. Those that use comparable capital
equipment;, labor, and raw material Inputs are classified
together. This Information is collected on a supplement to
the quarterly unemployment insurance tax reports filed by
employers. For an establishment engaging In more than one
activity, the entire employment of the establishment
is included under the industry indicated by the principal
activity.

industry employment
Employment data refer to persons on establishment payrolls
who received pay for any part of the pay period that includes
the 12th day of the month.

Chart 1. Distribution of CES sample by
collection mode
Web

24%

The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid
volunteer or family workers, farmworkers, 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, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the National
Security Agency also are excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sick
leave (for cases in which pay is received directly from
the firm), on paid holiday, or 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, or on strike for the
entire period, or who were hired but have not yet reported
during the period.

Payroll. This refers to the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction., or nonsupervisory workers
who received pay for an]^ part of the pay period that
includes the 12th day of the month. The payroll is reported
before deductions of any kind, such as those for old-age and
unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding tax,
bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for overtime,
holidays, and vacation, and for 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
(such as retroactive pay); tips; and the value of free rent,
fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded. Employee
benefits (such as health and other types of insurance,
contributions to retirement, and so forth, paid by the
employer) also are excluded.
Hours. These are the hours paid for during the pay period
that includes the 12th of the month for production,
construction, or nonsupervisory workers. Included are hours
paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when
pay is received directly from the firm.

Industry hours and earnings
Average hours and earnings data are derivedfromreports of
payrolls and hours for production and related workers in
natural resources and mining and manufacturing,
construction workers in construction, and nonsupervisory
employees in private service-providing industries.

Overtime hours. These are 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
that included 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.

Production and related workers. This category includes
working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers
(including group leaders and trainees) engaged in fabricating,
processing, assembling, inspecting, receiving, storing,
handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, trucking, hauling,
maintenance, repair, janitorial, guard services, product
development, auxiliary production for plant's own use
(for example, power plant), recordkeeping, and other
services closely associated with the above production
operations.

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, part-time work, and
stoppages cause average weekly hours to be lower than
scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of
component industries.

Construction workers. This group includes the following
employees in the construction division: Working
supervisors, qualified craft workers, mechanics, apprentices,
helpers, laborers, and so forth, engaged in new work,
alterations, demolition, repair, maintenance, and the like,
whether working at the site of construction or in shops or
yards at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling)
ordinarily performed by members of the construction
trades.

Indexes of aggregate weekly hours and payrolls. The
indexes of aggregate weekly hours are calculated by dividing the current month's aggregate by the average of the
12 monthly figures for 2002. For basic industries, the
hours aggregates are the product of average weekly hours
and production worker or nonsupervisory worker
Nonsupervisory employees. These are employees (not above employment. At all higher levels of industry aggregation, hours aggregates are the sum of the component
the working-supervisor level) such as office and clerical
aggregates.
workers, repairers, salespersons, operators, drivers,
physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social workers,
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls are calculated
research aides, teachers, drafters, photographers, beauticians, by dividing the current month's aggregate by the average of
musicians, restaurant workers, custodial workers, attendants, the 12 monthly figures for 2002. For basic industries, the
line installers and repairers, laborers, janitors, guards,

and other employees at similar occupational levels whose

services are closely associated with those of the employees

aggregates.

Long-term trends of average weekly earnings can be
affected by structural changes in the makeup of the
workforce. 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 overtime hours. Overtime hours represent that
portion of average weekly hours that 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 their holiday pay plus straight-time pay
for hours worked that day, no overtime hours would be:
reported.
Because overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move
in the same direction from month to month. Such factors as
work stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not
have the same influence on overtime hours as on average:;
hours* Diverse trends at the industry group level also may
be caused by a marked change in hours for a component
industry in which little or no overtime was worked in both
the previous and current months.

Real earnings. These earnings are in constant dollars and
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 (CPIW). The reference year for these series is 1982.
Indexes of diffusion of employment change. These indexes
measure the dispersion of change in employment among
industries over the specified timespan. The overall indexes
are calculated from 278 seasonally adjusted employment
series (4-digit NAICS industries) covering all nonfarm
payroll employment in the private sector. The manufacturing diffusion indexes are based on 84 4-digit NAICS
industries.
To derive the indexes, each component industry is
assigned a value of 0, 50, or 100 percent, depending on
whether its employment showed a decrease, no change, or
an increase, respectively, over the timespan. The average
value (mean) is then calculated, and this percent is the
diffusion index number.
The reference point for diffusion analysis is 50 percent,
the value indicating that the same number of component
industries had increased as had decreased. Index numbers
above 50 show that more industries had increasing
employment and values below 50 indicate that more had
decreasing employment. The margin between the percent
that increased and the percent that decreased is equal to the
difference between the index and its complement—that is,
100 minus the index. For example, an index of 65 percent
means that 30 percent more industries had increasing
employment than had decreasing employment (65-( 100-65)
= 30). However, for dispersion analysis, the distance of the
index number from the 50-percent reference point is the most
significant observation.
Although diffusion indexes commonly are interpreted as
showing the percent of components that increased over the
timespan, the index reflects half of the unchanged
components as well. (This is the effect of assigning a value
of 50 percent to the unchanged components when computing
the index.)
ESTIMATING METHODS

Average hourly 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; 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 because the
following are excluded: Benefits, irregular bonuses,
retroactive items, payroll taxes paid by employers, and.
earnings for those employees not covered under production
worker, construction worker, or nonsupervisory employee
definitions.
Average hourly earnings? excluding overtime. Average
hourly earnings, excluding overtime-premium pay, arc::
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* No adjustments
are made for other premium payment provisions, such as
holiday pay? late-shift premiums, and overtime rates otter
than time and one-half.
Average weekly earnings. These estimates are derived, by
multiplying average weekly hours estimates by average
hourly earnings estimates. Therefore, weekly earnings aie
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 the 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.



The Current Employment Statistics (CES) or establishment
survey estimates of employment are generated through an
annual benchmark and monthly sample link procedure. Annual
universe counts or benchmark levels are generated primarily
from administrative records on employees covered by
unemployment insurance (UI) tax laws. These annual
benchmarks^ established for March of each year, are projected

Changing data ratiosfor educational services and religious
organizations. Due to definitional exclusions in the
collection of data for educational services, NAIGS 611, and
a small sample in religious organizations, NAICS 8131,
certain ratios for these series are recalculated with each
benchmark to allow for the creation of aggregate totals.
Production worker and women worker ratios, average hourly
earnings, and average weekly hours are calculated based on
the weighted average of the previous year's professional and
technical services, education and health services, leisure and
hospitality, and other services supersectors annual averages.
The March 2004 values were set based on the 2003 annual
averages.
The educational services iseries uses the nonsupervisory
worker ratio, average hourly earnings, and average weekly
hours calculated from the weighted average. The religious
organizations series uses the production worker and women
worker ratios, average hourly earnings, and average weekly
hours calculated from the weighted average. In both cases,
the ratios, average hourly earnings, and average weekly
hours are held constant through the next benchmark.

forward for each subsequent month based on the trend of
the sample employment, using an estimation procedure
called the link relative. Benchmarks and sample link
relatives are computed for each basic estimating cell and
summed to create aggregate-level enjoyment estimates.
Benchmarks
For the establishment survey, annual benchmarks are
constructed in order to realign the sample-based employment
totals for March of each year with the Ul-based population
counts for March. These population counts are much less
timely than sample-based estimates and are used to provide
an annual point-in-time census for employment. For national
series, only the March sample-based estimates are replaced
with UI counts. For State and metropolitan area series, all
available months ofUI data are used to replace sample-based
estimates. State and area series are based on smaller samples
and are therefore more vulnerable to both sampling and
nonsampling errors than national estimates.
Population counts are derived from the administrative
file of employees covered by UI. All employers covered by UI
laws are required to report employment and wage information
to the appropriate State workforce agency four times a year.
Approximately 97 percent of private employment within the
scope of the establishment survey is covered by UI. A
benchmark for the remaining 3 percent is constructed from
alternate sources, primarily records from the Railroad
Retirement Board and County Business Patterns. The full
benchmark developed for March replaces the March samplebased estimate for each basic cell. The monthly sample-based
estimates for the year preceding and the year following the
benchmark also are than subject to revision.
Monthly estimates for the year preceding the March
benchmark are readjusted using a "wedge-back" procedure.
The difference between the final benchmark level and the
previously published March sample estimate is calculated
and spread back across the previous 11 months. The wedge
is linear; eleven-twelfths of the March difference is added
to the February estimate, ten-twelfths to the January estimate,
and so on, back to the previous April estimate, which
receives one-twelfth of the March difference. This assumes
that the total estimation error since the last benchmark
accumulated at a steady rate throughout the current
benchmark year.
Estimates for the 7 months following the March benchmark also are recalculated each year. These post-benchmark
estimates reflect the application of sample-based monthly
changes to new benchmark levels for March and the
recomputation of net birth/death model factors for each
month.
Following the revision of basic employment estimates, all
other derivative series (such as the number of production
workers and average hourly earnings) also are recalculated.
New seasonal adjustment factors are calculated and all data
series for the previous 5 years are re-seasonally adjusted before
full publication of all revised data in February of each year.



Monthly estimation
CES uses a matched sample concept and weighted link
relative estimator to produce employment, hours, and
earnings estimates. These methods are described in table 2A. A matched sample is defined to be all sample members
that have reported data for the reference month and the
previous month. Excluded from the matched sample is any
sample unit that reports that it Is out of business. This aspect
of the estimation methodology is more folly described in
the section on estimation of business births and deaths below.
Stratification. The sample is stratified into 688 estimation
cells for purposes of computing national employment, hours,
and earnings estimates. Cells are defined primarily by
detailed industry. In the construction supersector, geographic
stratification also is used. The estimation cells can be defined
at the 3-, 4-;, 5-, and 6-digit NAICS levels.
In addition to the estimation cells mentioned above, there
are 40 independently estimated cells which do not aggregate
to the suinmary cell levels.
Weighted link-relative technique. The estimator for the
all-employee series uses the sample trend in the cell to move
the previous level to the current-month estimated level. A
model-based component is applied to account for the net
employment resulting from business births and deaths not
captured by the sample.
The basic formula for estimating all employees is:

AEc =

economy, firms are continually opening and closing. These
two occurrences offset each other to some extent. That is,
firms that are born replace firms that die. CES uses this fact
to account for a large proportion of the employment
associated with business births. This is accomplished by
excluding such business death units from the matched sample
definition. Effectively, business deaths are not included in
the sample-based link portion of the estimate, and the implicit
imputation of their previous month's employment is assumed
to offset a portion of the employment associated with births.
There is an operational advantage associated with
this approach as well. Most firms will not report that
they have gone out of business; rather, they simply
cease reporting and are excluded from the link, as are all
other nonrespondents. As a result, extensive follow-up
with monthly nonrespondents to determine whether a
company is out of business o:r simply did not respond is not
required.
Employment associated with business births will not
exactly equal that associated with business deaths. The
amount by which it differs varies by month and by
industry. As a result, the residual component of the birth/
death offset must be accounted for by using a model-based
approach.

With any model-based approach, it is desirable to have 5
or more years of history to use in developing the models.
Due to the absence of reliable counts of monthly business
births and deaths, development of an appropriate birth/death
residual series assumed the following form:

The raking adjustment follows the following
methodology: Estimates are derived independently for the
residential and nonresidential groups at the 4-digit NAICS
level for each region. The regional estimates are rounded
and summed to the 4-digit NAICS level for both the
residential and nonresidential groups. Within each 4-digit
NAICS series, ratios of residential-to-total employment and
nonresidential-to-total employment are calculated.
At the 4-digit NAICS level, the sum of the residential/
nonresidential series is subtractedfromthe official industryregion cell structure total to determine the amount that must
be raked. The total amount that must be raked then is
multiplied by the ratios to determine what percentage of the
raked amount should be applied to the residential group and
what percentage should be applied to the nonresidential
group.
Once the residential and nonresidential groups receive
their proportional amount of raked employment, the two
groups are aggregated again to the 4-digit NAICS level. At
this point, they are equal to the 4-digit NAICS total derived
from the official industry-region cell structure. This raking
process also forces additivity at the 3-digit NAICS level.
No estimates of hours and earnings are made for the
residential and nonresidential series.

Birth-death residual = Population - Sample-based estimate
+ Error
During the net birth/death modeling process, simulated
monthly probability estimates over a 5-year period are
created and compared with population employment levels.
Moving from a simulated benchmark, the differences
between the series across time represent a cumulative birth/
death component. Those residuals are converted to monthto-month differences and used as input series to the modeling
process.
Models are fit using X-12 ARIMA (Auto-Regressive
Integrated Moving Average). Outliers, level shifts,
and temporary ramps are automatically identified. Seven
models are tested, and the model exhibiting the lowest
average forecast error is selected for each series. Table 2-B
shows the net birth/death model figures for the postbenchmark period of April 2004 to October 2004 by
supersector.
Residential and nonresidential specialty trade contractors
estimates. Residential and nonresidential specialty trade
contractors estimates are produced as sub-breakouts in
specialty trade contractors (NAICS 238) under the standard
NAICS coding structure. Benchmarks for these series are
developed from the QCEW data and independent estimates
for these series are made on a monthly basis and raked to
the estimates produced under the standard structure to ensure
that the sum of the residential specialty trade contractors
and nonresidential specialty trade contractors series is
consistent with the published total for specialty trade
contractors at the 3-digit NAICS level.

THE SAMPLE
Design
The CES sample is a stratified, simple random sample of
worksites, clustered by UI account number. The UI account
number is a major identifier on the BLS longitudinal database
of employer records, which serves as both the sampling frame
and the benchmark source for the CES employment
estimates. The sample strata, or subpopulations, are defined
by State, industry, and employment size, yielding a Statebased design. The sampling rates for each stratum are
determined through a method known as optimum allocation,

which distributes a fixed number of sample units across a
set of strata to minimize the overall variance, or sampling
error, on the primary estimate of interest. The total nonfarm
employment level is the primary estimate of interest, and
the CES sample design gives top priority to measuring it as
precisely as possible, or, in other words, minimizing the
statistical error around the statewide total nonfarm,
employment estimates.
Frame and sample selection. The longitudinal data base
(LDB) is the universe from which BLS draws the CES
sample. The LDB contains data on the approximately 8
million U.S., business establishments covered by UI,
representing nearly all elements of the U.S. economy. The1
Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), or
ES-2G2, program collects these data from employers, on a
quarterly basis, in cooperation with State workforce agencies,
The LDB contains employment and wage information from
employers, as well as name, address, and location,
information. It also contains identification information such
as unemployment insurance (UI) account number and
reporting unit or worksite number.
The LDB contains records of all employers covered
under the unemployment insurance tax system. The system
covers 97 percent of all employers in the 50 States, the
District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Island::!.
There are a few sections1 of the economy that are not covered,
including the self-employed, unpaid family workers*,
railroads, religious organizations, small agricultural,
employers, and eltscted officials. Data for employer's
generally are reported at the worksite level Employers wine?

data for each individual establishment The LDB trades.
establishments over time and links them from quarter to
quarter.
Permanent random numbers (PB;Ns) have been assigned
to all UI accounts on the sampling frame. As new unite
appear on the frame, random numbers are assigned to those
units as well. As records are linked across time, the PRN is
carried forward in the linkage.
The CES sample is stratified by State, industry, and size,,
Stratification groups population members together for the
purpose of sample allocation and selection. The strata,,, or
groups, are composed of homogeneous units. With 13
industries land 8 size classes, there are 104 total allocation
cells per State. The sampling rate for each stratum is
determined through a method known as optimum allocation.
Optimum allocation minimizes variance at a fixed cost or
minimizes cost for a fixed variance. Under the CES
probability design,, a fixed number of sample units for each
State is distributed across the allocation strata in such a 'way
as to minimize the overall variance, or sampling error., of
the total State employment level The number of sample
units in the CES probability sample was fixed according to
available program resources. The optimum allocation
formula places more sample in cells for which data cost less



to collect, cells that have more units, and cells that have a
larger variance.
During the first quarter of each year, a new sample is
drawn from the LDB. Annual sample selection helps keep
the CES survey current with respect to employment from
business births and business deaths. In addition, the updated
universe files provide the most recent information on
industry, size, and metropolitan area designation.
After all out-of-scope records are removed, the sampling
frame is sorted into allocation cells. Within each allocation
cell, units are sorted by metropolitan statistical area (MSA)
and by the size of the MSA, defined as the number of UI
accounts in that MSA. As the sampling rate is uniform across
the entire allocation cell, implicit stratification by MSA
ensures that a proportional number of units are sampled from
each MSA. Some MSAs may have too few UI accounts in
the allocation cell; these MSAs are collapsed and treated as
a single MSA. Within each selection cell, the units are sorted
by PRN", and units are selected according to the specified
sample selection rate. The number ofunits selected randomly
from each selection cell is equal to the product of the sample
selection rate and the number of eligible units in the cell,
plus any carryover from the prior selection cell The result
is rounded to the nearest whole number. Carryover is defined
as the amount that is rounded up or down to the nearest
whole number.
As a result of the cost and workload associated with
enrolling new sample units, all units remain in the sample
for a minimum of 2 years. To insure that all units meet this
minimum requirement, BLS has established a "swapping in"
procedure. The procedure allows units to be swapped into
the sample that were newly selected during the previous
sample year and not reselected as part of the current
probability sample. The procedure removes a unit within
the same selection cell and places the newly selected unit
from the previous year back into the sample.
Selection weights. Once the sample is drawn, sample
selection weights are calculated based on the number of UI
accounts actually selected within each allocation cell. The
sample selection weight is approximately equal to the inverse
of the probability of selection, or the inverse of the sampling
rate. It is computed as:
Sample selection weight = Nh / n^
where:
Nh = the number of noncertainty UI accounts within
the allocation cell that are eligible for sample
selection; and
nh = the number of noncertainty UI accounts
selected within the allocation cell
Sample Rotation. Sample rotation eases the burden on respondents who have been participating in the survey for an
extended time period. A 25-percent rotation is utilized in

establishments report payroll and hours information, hours and

selection cells with weights greater than 2.00. Units that
rotate out of the sample will not be reselected as part of the
sample for 3 years. In an effort to keep units from moving
back into the sample after a single year, a "swap out" procedure has been established. The "swap out" procedure
removes units from the current sample that had been rotated
out of the sample within the last 3 years and replaces
them with other units within the selection cell eligible for
sample selection. As a result of sample rotation, approximately 68 percent of the Current Employment Statistics
sample for the private industries overlaps from one year to
the next.

- the company cannot report for all worksites from a
central location;

3

- the company cannot provide an aggregate report for
the entire UI account;
- there are too many individual worksites to make it
practical to contact each of them.
With subsampling of a smaller number of worksites, both
interviewer workload and respondent burden are reduced
without significantly reducing the accuracy of the estimates,
but this technique will result in a small increase in variance.
In the event that a UI account is subsampled, weight
adjustments are made to reflect each of the worksites'
probability of selection.

Frame maintenance and sample updates. Due to the
dynamic economy, there is a constant cycle of business births
and deaths. A semiannual update is performed during the
third quarter of each year. This update selects units from the
population of births and other units not previously eligible
for selection, and includes them as part of the sample.
Updated location, contact, and administrative information
is provided for all establishments that were selected in the
annual sample selection.

Coverage
Table 2-C shows the latest benchmark employment levels
and the approximate proportion of total universe employment
coverage at the total nonfarm and major industry supersector
levels. The coverage for individual industries within the
supersectors may vary from the proportions shown.

Reliability
Suhsampling.
The primary enrollment of new
establishments takes place in BLS regional office data
collection centers (DCCs). After the sample has been sent
to the DCCs, interviewers enroll the selected establishments.
While the UI account is the sample unit, interviewers attempt
to collect the data for all individual establishments within a
UI account.
For multiple-worksite UI accounts, it is sometimes
necessary to subsample employers. This occurs when:




The establishment survey, like other sample surveys, is
subject to two types of error, sampling and nonsampling error.
The magnitude of sampling error, or variance, is directly
related to the size of the sample and the percentage of
universe coverage achieved by the sample. The establishment
survey sample covers over one-third of total universe
employment; this yields a very small variance for the total
nonfarm estimates. Measurements of error associated with
sample estimates are provided in tables 2-D through 2-F.

Variance estimation. The estimation of sample variance for
the CES survey is accomplished through use of the method
of balanced half samples (BHS). This replication technique
uses half samples of the original sample and calculates
estimates using those subsamples. The sample variance is
calculated by measuring the variability of the subsample
estimates. The weighted link estimator is used to calculate both estimates and variances. The sample units in each
cell—where a cell is based on State, industry, and size
classification—are divided into two random groups. The
basic BHS method is applied to both groups. The subdivision
of the cells is done systematically, in the same order as the
initial sample selection. Weights for units in the half sample
are multiplied by a factor of 1 + y where weights for units
not in the half sample are multiplied by a factor of 1 - y.
Estimates from these subgroups are calculated using the
estimation formula described previously.
The formula used to calculate CES variances is as follows:

1
The root-mean-square error is the square root of the mean squared
error. The mean squared error is the square of the difference between
the final and preliminary estimates averaged across a series of
monthly observations.
NOTE: Errors are based on differences from January 2000 through
October 2004.

Benchmark revision us a measure of survey error. The
sum of sampling and nonsampling error can be considered
total survey error. Unlike most sample surveys which publish
sampling error as their only measure of error, the CES can
derive an annual approximation of total error, on a lagged.
basis, because of the availability of the independently derived
universe data. While the benchmark error is used as a
measure of total error for the CES survey estimate, it actually
represents the difference between two independent estimates
derived from separate survey processes (specifically;, the CES
sample process and the UI administrative process) and thus
reflects the errors present in each program. Historically, the,
benchmark revision has been very small for total nonfami
employment. Over the past decade, percentage benchmark
error has averaged 0.2 percent, with an absolute range from
less than 0.05 percent to 0.5 percent.

Appropriate uses of sampling variances. Variance statistics
are useful for comparison purposes, but they do have some
limitations. Variances reflect the error component of the
estimates that is due to surveying only a subset of the
population, rather than conducting a complete count of the
entire population. However, they do not reflect nonsampling
error, such as response errors, and bias due to nonresponse.
The overall performance of the CES employment estimates
is best measured in terms of the benchmark revisions. The
variances of the over-the-month change estimates are very
useful in detemming when changes are significant at some
level of confidence. Variance statistics for first-closing
estimates are provided in Table 2-F. In addition, variances
for second- and third-closing estimates are available upon
request.

Revisions between preliminary and final data. First
preliminary estimates of employment, hours, and earnings,
based on less thai the total sample, are published
immediately following the reference month. Final revised
sample-based estimates are published 2 months later when
nearly all the reports in the sample have been received. Table
2-D presents the root-mean-square error, the mean percent,
and the mean absolute percent revision that may be expected
between the preliminary and final employment estimates.
Revisions of preliminary hours and earnings estimates
are normally not greater than 0.1 hour for weekly hours and.
1 cent for hourly earnings, at the total private nonfarm level,

Sampling errors. The sampling errors shown for total
nonfarm and for total private industries have been calculated
for estimates that follow the benchmark employment revision
by a period of 16 to 20 months. The errors are presented as
median values of the observed error estimates. These
estimates have been estimated using the method of balanced
half samples with the probability sample data and sample
weights assigned at the time of sample selection.

Illustration of the use of table 2-E. Table 2-E provides a
reference for relative standard errors of three major series
developed from the CES—estimates of the number of all
employees (AE), of average weekly hours (AWH), and of
average hourly earnings (AHE) within the same industry.
The standard errors of differences between estimates in
two non-overlapping industries are calculated as:

same establishment reports used by BLS. However, BLS
uses the full CES sample to produce monthly national
employment estimates, while each State agency uses its
portion of the sample to independently develop a State
employment estimate.
The CES area statistics relate to metropolitan areas and
divisions. Definitions for all areas are published each year
in the issue of Employment and Earnings that contains State
and area annual averages (usually the May issue). Changes
in definitions are noted as they occur.
Estimates for States and areas are produced using two
methods. The majority of State and area estimates are
produced using direct sample-based estimation. However,
published area and industry combinations (domains) that do
not have a large enough sample to support estimation using
only sample responses are estimated by using a small-domain
model.

S difference =
since the two estimates are independent.
The errors are presented as relative standard errors
(standard error divided by the estimate and expressed as a
percent). Multiplying the relative standard error by its
estimated value gives the estimate of the standard error.
Suppose that the level of all employees for financial
activities in a given month is estimated at 7,819,000. The
approximate relative standard error of this estimate (0.4
percent) is provided in table 2-E. A 90-percent confidence
interval would then be the interval:

Small-domain model. The small-domain model consists of
a weighted sum of three different relative over-the-month
change estimates, L\, Z 2 > and Z 3 . These three relative
over-the-month change estimates are then weighted based
on the variance of each of the three estimates. The larger the
variance of each Lk estimate relative to the other L^
variances, the smaller the weight. The resulting estimate of
current-month employment Yiat is defined as:

7,819,000 +/- (1.645*.004*7,819,000)
= 7,819,000+/-51,449
= 7,767,551 to 7,870,449

(Wiat,\ iat,\
A

Illustration of the use of table 2-F. Table 2-F provides a
reference for the standard errors of 1-, 3-, and 12-month
changes in AE, AWH, and AHE. The errors are presented as
standard errors of the changes.
Suppose that the over-the-month change in AHE from
January to February in coal mining is $0.11. The standard
error for a 1-month change for coal mining from the table is
$0.22. The interval estimate of the over-the-month change
in AHE that will include the true over-the-month change
with 90-percent confidence is calculated as:

L

where:
Yiat

Liati = current-month relative over-the-month change
estimate based on available sample responses
for domain ia;
current-month weight assigned to Liati based
on the variances of Liati, X,-fl^2> a n ^ ^iat,3
(The weights Wiat2 and WiatZ are defined
similarly.);

$0.11+/-(1.645* $0.22)
= $0.11+/-$0.36
= -$0.25 to $0.47
The true value of the over-the-month change is in the
interval -$0.25 to $0.47. Because this interval includes $0.00
(no change), the change of $0.11 shown is not significant at
the 90-percent confidence level. Alternatively, the estimated
change of $0.11 does not exceed $0.36 (1.645 * $0.22);
therefore, one could conclude from these data that the change
is not significant at the 90-percent confidence level.

Liat2:=

current-month relative over-the-month change
estimate based on time series forecasts using
historical universe employment counts for
domain ia. (These historical universe
employment counts are available from January
1990 to 12 months prior to the current month
t);

Liat<$ = current-month relative over-the-month change
estimate based on a synthetic estimate of the
relative change that; uses all sample responses
in the State that includes area a, for industry i;
and

STATISTICS FOR STATES, AREAS, AND
DIVISIONS
(Tables B-6, B-12, B-13, B-17, and B-18)
As explained earlier, State agencies in cooperation with BLS
collect and prepare State, area, and division employment,
hours, and earnings data. These statistics are based on the



current-month t employment estimate for domain
ia defined by the intersection of industry i and
area a;

a,t-\ ~ previous-month employment estimate for
domain ia from the small-domain model.
204

It is possible that for a given industry i and area a, one oir
even two of the inputs Liat^ to the model are assigned
weights of 0,, The reasons for assigning a weight of 0 to a
model input are due to concerns regarding the stability of
the inputs. For example, if Liat\ or Liat^ has five or fewer
responses, then it is assigned a weight of 0. If Liat2 exhibits
an unstable variance or has an extremely poor model fit,
then it may also be assigned a weight of 0. In these cases,
the small-domain model estimate may be based on only one
or two of the three described inputs.
Sampling errors are not applicable to the estimates made
using the small-domain models- The measure available to
judge the reliability of these modeled estimates is (heir
performance over past time periods compared with the
universe values for those time periods. These measures are
useful; however, it is not certain that the past performance
of the modeled estimates accurately reflects their current
performance.
It should also be noted that extremely small estimates of
2,0G0 employees or less are potentially subject to large:
percentage revisions that are caused by occurrences such as;
the relocation of one or two businesses or a change in the
activities of one or two businesses. These are noneconomic:




205

classification changes that relate to the activity or location
of businesses and will be present for sample-based estimates
as well as the model-based estimates.
Error measures for State and area estimates are available
on the BLS Web site at fittps//www.bls.gov/sae/
790stderr e htm.
Caution in aggregating State data. The national estimation
procedures used by BLS are designed to produce accurate
national data by detailed industry; correspondingly, the State
estimation procedures are designed to produce accurate data
for each individual State. State estimates are not forced to
sum to national totals nor vice versa. Because each State series is subject to larger sampling and nonsampling errors than
the national series, summing them cumulates individual State
level errors and can cause distortion at an aggregate level.
This has been a particular problem at turning points in the
U.S. economy, when the majority of the individual State errors tend to be in the same direction. Due to these statistical
limitations, the Bureau does not compile or publish a
"sum-of-States" employment series. Additionally, BLS
cautions users that such a series is subject to a relatively large
and volatile error structure, particularly at turning points.

("C" tables)

FEDERAL-STATE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM

current relationships found within each State's economy as
reflected in the different sources of data that are available for
each State—the Current Population Survey (CPS), the Current
Employment Statistics (CES) survey, and the UI system. The
noise component of the models explicitly accounts for
autocorrelation in the CPS sampling error and changes in the
average magnitude of the eirror. In addition, the models can
identify and remove the effects of outliers in the historical
CPS series. While all the State models have important
components in common, they differ somewhat from one
another to better reflect individual State labor force
characteristics.
Seasonal adjustment occurs within the model structure
through the removal of the seasonal component. The models
also produce reliability measures on the adjusted and
unadjusted series, and on over-the-month change.
The Redesign bivariate models incorporate a major
change in the approach to benchmarking and the
benchmarking process. Rattier than continue with an annual
average State benchmark applied retrospectively that
reintroduces sampling error to the historical monthly
estimates, the Redesign approach uses a reliable real-time
monthly national benchmark for controlling current State
model estimates of employment and unemployment. In this
process, benchmarking is part of the monthly State model
estimation process.
Under real-time benchmarking, a tiered approach to
estimation is used. Model-based estimates are developed
for the 9 Census divisions that geographically exhaust the
Nation using univariate signal-plus-noise models. The
division models are similar to the State models, but do not
use unemployment insurance claims or nonfarm payroll
employment as variables. The division estimates are
benchmarked to the national levels of employment and
unernployment on a monthly basis. The benchmarked division
model estimate is then used as the benchmark for the States
within the division. The (distribution of the monthly benchmark
adjustment to the States is based on each State's monthly
model estimate. In this manner, the monthly State employment
and unemployment estimates will add to the national levels.

Labor force and unemployment estimates for States,
labor market areas (LMAs), and other areas covered under
Federal assistance programs are developed by State Workforce
Agencies under a Federal-State cooperative program. The
local unemployment estimates, which derive from standardized procedures developed by BLS, are the basis for determining eligibility of an area for benefits under Federal programs such as the Workforce Investment Act.
Annual average data for the States and 375 areas shown in
table C-3 are published in Employment and Earnings (usually the May issue). For regions, States, selected metropolitan areas, and central cities, annual average data classified b}r
selected demographic, social, and economic characteristics
are published in the BLS bulletin, Geographic Profile of
Employment and Unemployment.
Labor force estimates for counties, cities, and other small
areas have been prepared for administration of various Federal economic assistance programs and are available on the
Internet at http://www.bls.gov/lau or by subscription by calling 202-691-6392.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Monthly labor force, employment, and unemployment estimates are prepared for the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, Puerto Rico, and over 7,000 areas, including nearly
2,400 LMAs, all counties, and cities with a population of 25,000
or more. Regional aggregations are derived by summing the
division estimates. The estimation methods are described
below for States (and the District of Columbia) and for substate areas. At the sub-LMA (county and city) level,
estimates are prepared using disaggregation techniques
based on decennial and annual population estimates and
current unemployment insurance data. A more detailed
description of the estimation procedure is contained in
the BLS document, Manual for Developing Local Area
Unemployment Statistics.
Estimates for States
For all States and the District of Columbia, the Los AngelesLong Beach-Glendale metropolitan division, New York City,
and the respective balances of State, models based on a
"signal-plus-noise" approach are used to develop
employment and unemployment estimates. The model of the
signal is a time series model of the true labor force which
consists of three components: A variable coefficient
regression, a flexible trend, and a flexible seasonal component.
The regression techniques are based on historical and




Estimates for substate labor market areas
As noted, monthly labor force estimates for two large
substate areas—New York City and the Los Angeles-Long
Beach-Glendale, CA metropolitan division and the respective
balances of New York and California—are developed using
bivariate signal-plus-noise models. Signal-plus-noise models
also have been developed for six additional substate areas
and their State balances. The areas are: the ChicagoNaperville-Joliet, IL metropolitan division; the Cleveland212

Elyria-Mentor, OH metropolitan area; the Detroit-WarrenLivonia, MI metropolitan area; the Miami-Miami BeachKendall, FL metropolitan division; the New Orleans-Metairie••
Kenner, LA metropolitan area; and the Seattle-Bellevue
Everett, WAmetropolitan division. As with the Redesign State
and division models., these area models are based on the
classical decomposition of a time series into trend, seasonal,
and irregular components. A component to identify and
remove the CPS sampling error also is included. Area models,,
like the division models, are univariale in design in that only
the historical relationship of the inputs is considered—UI
claims and CES inputs are not used each month in the
estimation process. Area and balance of State models arc
controlled directly to the State totals, which are themselves
controlled to the national CPS via the Census division models
Estimates for the nearly 2,400 remaining LMAs are prepared
through indirect estimation techniques, described below.
The LAUS Handbook method is an effort to estimate:
unemployment for an area, using available information
without the expense of expanding a labor force survey like:
the CPS. The Handbook presents at series of estimating
"building blocks," in which categories of unemployed
workers are classified by their previous status. Two broad,
categories of unemployed persons are: (1) Those who were
last employed in industries covered by State UI laws, and (2)
those who either entered the labor force for the first time or
reentered after a period of separation., Handbook inputs were
updated using the Census 2000 results and other
improvements to Handbook estimation were implemented with
January 2005 estimates.
Employment. The total employment estimate is based on
data from several sources. The primary source for most
metropolitan areas (MAs) is the Federal-State CES survey:
The CES is designed to produce estimates of the total number
of employees on payrolls in nonfarm industries for the
particular area. In small labor market areas and the remainder
of the MAs, the establishment e m p ^ m e n t data come from
the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (ES-202
Report).
These '*place-of-work" employment estimates must be
adjusted to a place-of-residence basis, as in the CPS.
Estimated adjustment factors have been developed using
employment relationships which existed at the time of the
most recent decennial census. The adjustment approach
implemented in January 2005 is more dynamic than the
previous one and incorporates commuting to nearby labor
market areas. These factors are applied to the place-of-work
employment estimates for the current period to obtain
adjusted employment estimates, to which are added
synthetically developed estimates for employment not
represented in the establishment series—agricultural workers,
nonfarm self-employed and unpaid family workers, and private
household workers.
Unemployment.



The estimate of unemployment is an.
213

aggregate of the estimates for each of the two building-block
categories. The "covered" category further consists of two
unemployed worker groups: (1) Those who are currently
receiving UI benefits and (2) those who have exhausted their
benefits. Only the number of those currently collecting
benefits is obtained directly from an actual count of UI
claimants for the reference week. The estimate of persons
who have exhausted their benefits is based upon the number
actually exhausting benefits in previous periods "survived"
using a conditional probability approach based on CPS data.
The second category, "new entrants and reentrants into
the labor force," cannot be estimated directly from UI
statistics, because unemployment for these persons is not
immediately preceded by the period of employment required
to receive UI benefits. In addition, there is no uniform source
of new entrants and reentrants data for States available at
the LMA level; the only existing source available is from the
CPS at the State level. Separate estimates for new entrants
and for reentrants are derivedfromeconometric models based
on current and historical State entrants data from the CPS.
These model estimates are then allocated to all LMAs based
on the age distribution of the population of each LMA. For
new entrants, the area's proportion of the 16-19 year-old
population group to the State 16-19 year-old population total
is used, and for reentrants, the Handbook area's proportion
of the 20 years and older population to the State total 20
years and older population is used.
Suhstate adjustment for consistency and additivity. Each
month, Handbook estimates are prepared for labor market
areas that exhaust the entire State area. To obtain a labor
force estimate for a given area, a "Handbook share" is
computed for that area which is defined as the ratio of that
area's Handbook estimates of employment and
unemployment to the sum of the Handbook estimates of
employment and unemployment for all LMAs in the State.
These ratios are then multiplied by the current statewide
estimate for employment and imemployment to produce the
final adjusted LMA estimates.

Estimates for parts of LMAs
Current labor force estimates at the sub-LMA level are
required by several Federal programs, Disaggregation
techniques are used to obtain current estimates of
employment and unemployment for comities within multicounty LMAs and cities, towns, and townships within
counties. Two alternative methods are used to disaggregate
the LMA estimates.
The population-claims method is the preferred technique.
If residence-based UI claims data are available for the subareas
within the labor market area, the ratio of claims in the subarea
to the total number of claims within the LMA is used to
disaggregate the estimate of experienced unemployed to the
subarea level. To ensure the quality of the claims data used
in this technique, claimant records are processed through a
residency assignment system that verifies and/or corrects

residence addresses and assigns the associated residency
codes. This provides a more accurate count of claims by city.
The estimates of unemployed entrants are allocated based
on the latest available census distribution of the adult and
teenage population groups. Employment is disaggregated
using decennial census employment-population ratios
updated by current population estimates. Estimates for all
disaggregated counties and New England cities and towns
are developed using this method.
If the necessary UI claims data are not available, the
census-share method is used. This method uses each
subarea's decennial census share of total LMA employment
and unemployment, respectively, in order to disaggregate
employment and unemployment. Very few States will be using
this method for data after 2004.
Annual activities
Once each year, labor force estimates are revised to reflect
updated input data and new U.S. Census Bureau population
controls. As part of this procedure, all of the State and
substate models are reviewed, revised as necessary, and then




214

reestimated; this reestimatioii is called "smoothing."
When new population controls are available from the
Bureau of the Census, typically in January, CPS estimates for
all States, the District of Columbia, New York City; the
Chicago-Naperville-Joliet, IL metropolitan division;
Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor, OH metropolitan area; DetroitWarren-Livonia, MI metropolitan area; Los Angeles-Long
Beach-Glendale, CA metropolitan division; Miami-Miami
Beach-Kendall, FL metropolitan division; New OrleansMetairie-Kenner, LA metropolitan area; and, the SeattleBellevue-Everett, WA metropolitan division are adjusted to
these controls. Additionally, the time series regression
models for the States and model-based areas are reestimated
based on the latest input data.
Other substate estimates for previous years are also
revised on an annual basis. Ifhe updates incorporate any
changes in the inputs, such as revisions to establishmentbased employment estimates or claims data and updated
historical relationships. The revised estimates are then
readjusted to the latest statewide estimates of employment
and unemployment.

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. Seasonally adjusted series, for selected labor force:;
and establishment-based data are published monthly in
Employment and Earnings.

Household data
Beginning in January 2003, BLS started using the X-12ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average)
seasonal adjustment program to seasonally adjust national.
labor force data from the Current Population Survey (CPS),
or household survey. This program replaced the X-l 1 AMM/t
program which had been used since January 1980. For a
detailed description of the X-12-ARIMA program and its
features, see D.E Findley, B.C. Monseli, WJL Bell, M.C. Otto,
and B.C. Chen, "New Capabilities and Methods of the X-12ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Program/9 Journal of Business
and Economic Statistics, April 1998, Vol. 16, No, 2, pp. 127152. See "Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Labor Force Series;
in 2003," in the February 2003 issue of this publication for &
discussion, of the introduction of the use of X-12 ARIMA for
seasonal adjustment of the labor force data and the effects
that it had on the data.
Beginning in January 20G4, BLS converted to the use of
concurrent seasonal adjustment to produce seasonally
adjusted labor force estimates from the household survey.
Concurrent seasonal adjustment uses all available monthly
estimates, including those for the current month, in
developing seasonal factors. Previously, seasonal factors
for the CPS data had been projected twice a year. As a result
of this change in methodology, BLS no longer publishes
seasonal factors for the labor force data. For more information
on the adoption of concurrent seasonal adjustment for the
labor force data, see "Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Labour
Force Series in 2004/' in the January 2004 issue of this
publication available on the Internet at http://www.bb.gov/
cps/cpsrs2004.pdf.
Revisions of historical data, usually for the most recent 5
years, are made only at 'the beginning of each calendar year.
However, as a result of the revisions to the estimates for 197081 based on 1980 census population counts, revisions to
seasonally adjusted series in early 1982 were carried back to



215

1970. In 1994, data were revised only for that year because of
the major survey redesign and the introduction of 1990
census-based population controls, adjusted for the estimated
undercount, into the Current Population Survey, In 1996,199093 data also were revised to incorporate these 1990 censusbased population controls and seasonally adjusted series
were revised back to 1990. Subsequent revisions were carried
back only to 1994 through 1998, when the standard 5-year
revision period was reinstated.
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 major labor force components— 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 a sum of four seasonally
adjusted civilian employment components and four seasonally adjusted unemployment components. The total for
unemployment is the sum of the four unemployment components, and the 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.
Each January issue (March issue in 1996 and February
issue in 2003) of'Employment and Earnings contains revised
seasonally adjusted data for selected labor force series based
on the experience through December and a description of the
current seasonal adjustment procedure. _

National establishment data
BLS also uses the X-12-AEJMA seasonal adjustment program
to seasonally adjust national establishment-based
employment, hours, and earnings series derived from the
Current Employment Statistics (CES) program. (Use of X-12
ARIMA to seasonally adjust the CES data began in June
1996, with the release of the March 1995 benchmark revisions.)
Individual series are seasonally adjusted using either a
multiplicative or an additive model For employment, seasonal
adjustment factors are directly applied, to the component
levels. Individual 3™digit NAICS levels are seasonally adjusted,
and higher-level aggregates are formed by the summation of
these components. Seasonally adjusted totals for hours and
earnings are obtained by taking weighted averages of the
seasonally adjusted data for the component series.
Revised seasonally adjusted national establishmentbased series based on the experience through January 2005
and a detailed description of the current seasonal adjustment

procedure appear in the February 2005 issue of Employment
and Earnings.
Concurrent seasonal adjustment Beginning in June 2003
with the May 2003 first preliminary estimates, BLS began
computing seasonal factors concurrently with the monthly
estimate production. Previously, the factors were forecasted
twice a year. Concurrent seasonal adjustment is expected to
provide a more accurate seasonal adjustment, and smaller
revisions from the first preliminary estimates to the final
benchmarked estimates, than the semiannual updates. As a
result of the adoption of concurrent seasonal adjustment,
the CES program has discontinued the publication of
projected seasonal factors.
Additive and multiplicative models. Prior to the March 2002
benchmark release in June 2003, all CES series were adjusted
using multiplicative seasonal adjustment models. Although
the X-12-ARIMA seasonal adjustment program provides for
either an additive or a multiplicative adjustment depending
on which model best fits the individual series, the previous
CES processing system was unable to utilize additive
seasonal adjustments. Anew processing system, introduced
simultaneously with the conversion to NAICS in June 2003,
is able to utilize both additive and multiplicative adjustments.
The article, "BLS National Establishment Estimates Revised
to Incorporate March 2004 Benchmarks" published in the
February 2005 issue of this publication contains a list of
which series are adjusted with additive seasonal adjustment
models and which series are adjusted with multiplicative
models. The article also lists which series are subject to the
calendar-effects modeling described below.
Variable survey intervals. Beginning with the release of the
1995 benchmark, BLS refined the seasonal adjustment
procedures to control for survey interval variations,
sometimes referred to as the 4- versus 5-week effect.
Although the CES survey is referenced to a consistent
concept—the pay period including the 12th of each month—
inconsistencies arise because there are sometimes 4 and
sometimes 5 weeks between the week including the 12th
in a given pair of months. In highly seasonal industries,
these variations can be an important determinant of the
magnitude of seasonal hires or layoffs that have occurred at
the time the survey is taken, thereby complicating seasonal
adjustment.
Standard seasonal adjustment methodology relies heavily
on the experience of the most recent 3 years to determine the
expected seasonal change in employment for each month of
the current year. Prior to the implementation of the adjustment,
the procedure did not distinguish between 4- and 5-week
survey intervals and the accuracy of the seasonal expectation
depended in large measure on how well the current year's
survey interval corresponded with those from the previous
3 years. All else being the same, the greatest potential for
distortion occurred when the current month being estimated




had a 5-week interval but the 3 years preceding it were all
4-week intervals, or conversely, when the current month
had a 4-week interval but the 3 years preceding it were all
5-week intervals.
BLS uses REGARIMA (regression with autocorrelated
errors) modeling to identify the estimated size and
significance of the calendar effect for each published series.
REGARIMA combines standard regression analysis, which
measures correlation among two or more variables, with
ARIMA modeling, which describes and predicts the behavior
of data series based on its own past history. For many
economic time series, including nonfarm payroll employment,
observations are autocorrelated over time. That is, each
month's value is significantly dependent on the observations
that precede it; these series, thus, usually can be successfully
fit using ARIMA models. If autocorrelated time series are
modeled through regression analysis alone, the measured
relationships among other variables of interest may be
distorted due to the influence of the autocorrelation. Thus,
the REGARIMA technique is appropriate to measuring relationships among variables of interest in series
that exhibit autocorrelation, such as nonfarm payroll
employment.
In this application, the correlations of interest are those
between employment levels in individual calendar months
and the lengths of the survey intervals for those months.
The REGARIMA models evaluate the variation in
employment levels attributable to 11 separate survey interval
variables, one specified for each month, except March. March
is excluded because there is almost always 4 weeks between
the February and March surveys. Models for individual
basic series are fitted with the most recent 10 years of data
available, the standard time span used for CES seasonal
adjustment.
The REGARIMA procedure yields regression coefficients
for each of the 11 months specified in the model. These
coefficients provide estimates of the strength of the
relationship between employment levels and the number of
weeks between surveys for the 11 modeled months. The
X-12-ARIMA software also produces diagnostic statistics
that permit the assessment of the statistical significance of
the regression coefficients, and all series are reviewed for
model adequacy.
Because the 11 coefficients derived from the REGARIMA
models provide an estimate of the magnitude of variation in
employment levels associated with the length of the survey
interval, these coefficients are used to adjust the CES data to
remove the calendar effect. These "filtered" series then are
seasonally adjusted using the standard X-12-ARIMA
software previously used.
For a few series, REGAREMA models did notfitwell; these
series are seasonally adjusted with the X-12 software but
without the interval-effect adjustment. There are several
additional special effects modeled through the REGARIMA
process which are described below.

216

for such employees. This gap in information causes artificial
peaks in the hours series in shorter months that are reversed
in longer months.
The processing error occurs when respondents with
salaried workers report hours correctly (vary them according
to the length of the month), which than dictates that different
conversion factors be applied to payroll and hours. The CES
processing system uses the hours conversion factor for both
fields, resulting in peaks in the hourly earnings series in short
months and reversals in long months.
The series to which the length-of-pay period adjustment
is applied are not subject to the 4- versus 5-week adjustment,
because the modeling cannot support the number of variables
that would be required in the regression equation to make
both adjustments.

Construction series. BLS continues its special treatment in
seasonally adjusting the construction industry series5 which.
began with the 1996 benchmark revision. In the application.
of the interval-effect modeling process to the construction
series, there initially was difficulty in accurately identifying;
and measuring the effect because of the strong influence of
variable weather patterns on employment movements in the:::
industry. Further research allowed BLS to incorporate:
interval-effect modeling for the construction industry by
disaggregating the construction series into its finer industry'
and geographic estimating cells and tightening outlier
designation parameters. This process allowed a more precise
identification of weather-related outliers that had masked the;
interval effect and clouded the seasonal adjustment pattern1:!
in general. With these outliers removed, interval-effect
modeling became feasible. The result is.a seasonally adjusted
series for construction that is improved because it is
controlled for two potential distortions, unusual weather
events and the 4- versus 5-week effect.

State establishment data
Seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment data by
selected industry supersectors for all States and the District
of Columbia are presented in table B-7 of this publication.
As with the .national establishment data, the State
establishment data are seasonally adjusted with the X-12ARIMA seasonal adjustment program. Seasonal adjustment
factors are applied directly to the employment estimates at
the supersector level and then aggregated to the State totals
for most States. For a few States that do not have many
publishable seasonally adjusted supersectors, however, total
nonfarm data are seasonally adjusted directly at the
aggregate level. The recomputation of seasonal factors and
historical revisions are made coincident with the annual
benchmark adjustments.

Floating holidays* BLS also makes special adjustments for
average weekly hours and average weekly overtime series to
account for the presence: or absence of religious holidays in
the April survey reference period and the occurrence' of Labor
Day in the September reference period.
Local government series. A special adjustment also is made
in the local government, excluding education series in
November eachyeax to account for variations in employment
due to the presence or absence of poll workers.

Refinements in hours ami earnings seasonal adjustment

Region a n d State labor force data
Beginning in 1992, BLS introduced publication of seasonally
adjusted labor force data for the census regions and
divisions, the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto
Rico (tables C-l and C-2). Beginning in 2005, labor force
estimates for census regions are derived by summing the
component division estimates of employment and
unemployment and then calculating the unemployment rate.
Since 2005, a unified model-based approach has been used
at the census division and State level to simultaneously
remove the effects of sampling error and seasonality to
provide seasonally adjusted estimates for employment and
unemployment levels directly from the model, along with
associated error measures. Labor force levels and
unemployment rates are calculated from these two estimates.
Prior to 2005, a two-step approach was used. In the first
step, time-series models estimated and removed the effects
of sampling error from the series. In the second step, the
error-corrected series were seasonally adjusted using the
latest available version of X-ll, initially X-ll ARIMA, and
later the X-12-ARIMA seasonal adjustment program.
Usually, historical data for the most recent 5 years are
revised near the beginning of each calendar year, coincident
with the release of January estimates.

With the release of the 1997 benchmark, BLS implemented
refinements to the seasonal adjustment process for the hours
and earnings series to correct for distortions related to the;
method of accounting for the varying length of payroll.
periods across months. There is a significant correlation:!
between over-the-xnonfh. changes in both the average weekly
hours and the average hourly earnings series and the number
of weekdays in a month, resulting in noneconomic
fluctuations in these two series* Both series show more
growth in "short" months (20 or 21 weekdays) than in "long"
months (22 or 23 weekdays). The effect is stronger for the
hours than for the earnings series.
The calendar effect is traceable to response and
processing errors associated with converting payroll and
hours information from sample respondents with semimonthly
or monthly pay periods to a weekly equivalent. The response
error comes from sample respondents reporting a fixed
number of total hours for workers regardless of the length
of the reference month, while the CES conversion
process assumes that the hours reporting.will be variable.
Most likely, a constant level of hours is reported when
employees are salaried rather than paid by the hour, because
employers are less likely to keep actual detailed hours records
