Emptoyment Trends SEASONAL FACTORS ACCOUNT FOR 1. 7 MILLION DROP IN NONFARM JOB TO TAL The total number of nonfarm job s declin ed by 1.7 m illion b e ^ e e n D ecem b er 1954 and January 1955--abou t as much as the usual seasonal drop at this tim e of y ear. The la rg e st drop o c cu rr e d in retail stores and F ed era l post o ffic e s as a resu lt of p ost-C h ristm a s la yoffs of tem pora ry em p loyees. The usual w inter lull was la rg ely resp on sib le for sizable cutbacks in con stru ction , m anufacturing, and other a ctiv ities. N ev erth eless, em ploym ent lev els in trade, s e r v ic e , and fin an ce, w ere at an alltim e high for January, and con stru ction em p loy ment was virtually equal to the re co rd for this month. The fa ctory w orkw eek a lso dropped season ally betw een D ecem b er and January. At 40. 2 h ours, the fa ctory w orkw eek was eight-tenths of an hour above the rela tiv ely low lev el of January 1954. G ross w eekly earnings of fa c to r y production w ork ers ($73. 97) w ere at an alltim e high fo r January. Total nonfarm em ploym ent this January was 345, 000 low er than a year e a r lie r . Since m id - 1954 the o v e r -th e -y e a r gap has narrow ed steadily. MANUFACTURING EM PLO YM ENT CHANGES R E F L E C T SEASONAL INFLUENCES F a ctory em ploym ent, at 15.9 m illion in Janu a ry 1955, was 160, 000 low er than a month e a r lie r , about the usual dip betw een D ecem ber and January. As in other y e a r s , con su m er goods in du stries sla ck ened after the C h ristm as production peak and the con stru ction supply industries continued their late fall and m id -w in ter declin e. Em ploym ent gains w ere reported in the p rim a ry m etals grou p, which continued the slow but steady expansion of recen t m onths. E m ploym ent in the ploym ent w ere o ffse t by lo s s e s in a ir c r a ft and ship building. The w ork fo r c e in the m ach in ery industry group in creased le s s than usual, a continuation o f the em ploym ent weakness which was m anifest during 1954. Em ploym ent dropped 1 8 ,0 0 0 o v e r the month in e le c tr ic a l m ach in ery , one of the la rg est d eclin es this industry has reported betw een D ecem ber and Janu a ry in recen t y e a rs. The ov e r-th e -m o n th changes in the rem aining g rou p s--in clu d in g the la rg e d e clin es in food, lu m b er, m iscella n eou s m anufactur ing, printing, tobacco,an d te x t ile s --la r g e ly re fle cte d of the C h ristm as season. The fa cto ry w ork fo r c e in January 1955 was 500, 000 low er than a year e a r lie r and was also b e low the 1953 and 1952 le v e ls fo r the month. V irtugoods m anufacturing, with ev ery industry group showing som e lo s s except lum ber and sto n e -cla y g la s s --th e industries m ost c lo s e ly related to con stru ction . In m ost industries the gap has narrow ed substantially in recen t m onths. In con tra st to the durable goods group, m ost non durable industry grou ps, rep orted that January 1955 em ploym ent was c lo s e to y e a r -a g o le v e ls. Printing, paper, ru b ber, and leather rep orted som e o v e r-th e year em ploym ent gains. STORES AND POST OFFICE RELEASE TEM PORARY EM PLOYEES January in ev ery nonm anufacturing industry se cto r. As was expected, the la rg e st d r o p --8 9 0 , 0 0 0 --w a s in w h olesale and retail trade establishm ents, w here tem p ora ry em p loyees hired for the C h ristm as shop ping sea son w ere laid off. N ev erth eless, the num b e r of w ork ers em ployed in trade was an alltim e high for the month. The secon d la rg est d eclin e was a 290, 000 drop in F ed eral p a y rolls as tem p ora ry postal help was let go. W inter w eather was la rg e ly resp on sib le for the seasonal cutback of 197, 000 w ork ers in the co n stru ction industry. N ev erth eless, em ploym ent was virtually equal to the a lltim e high fo r January. In tran sportation and m ining, slackened manu facturing activity and c o ld e r w eather resu lted in season al em p loym en td eclin es of 56, 000 and 8, 000^ r e sp e c tiv e ly . S erv ice and finance a lso reported sm all season al d eclin es, but em ploym ent in both s e c to r s is continuing to set new r e c o r d s each month. HOURS OF WORK AND AVERAGE W EEKLY EARNINGS DOWN FROM D ECEM BER The w orkw eek of fa cto ry production w ork ers at 40. 2 hours in January 1955 w as fou r-ten th s of an hour low er than in the preced in g month. Hours of w ork, like em ploym ent, alw ays declin e in the win ter m onths. The declin e was som ewhat le s s than usual in the fab rica ted m etals, e le c tr ic a l m a ch in ery instrum ents, rubber, ch e m ica ls , and paper indus tr ie s . In the p r im a ry m e ta ls industry hours of w ork r o s e and in m ost other in d u stries, o v e r-th e -m o n th changes w ere in line with seasonal expectations. As a consequ ence o f the reduced w orkw eek, m ost industry grou ps rep orted declin es in average w eekly pay between D ecem b er and January. W eek ly earnings in crea sed only in p rim a ry m eta ls, fab rica ted m etals, e le c tr ic a l m ach in ery, and ch em i c a ls . L o s s e s of m ore than $ 1. 70 o c cu rr e d in prin t ing, lu m b er, and furniture. FAC TO R Y HOURS AND EARNINGS UP OVER THE YEAR The January 19 55 w orkw eek in manufacturing was eight-tenths of an hour lon ger than a year ago, when the fa cto ry w orkw eek was at a postw ar low fo r the month. M ost industry groups showed som e o v e r -th e -y e a r gain. The la rg e st r i s e - - 2 . 7 hours in the rubber industry g rou p --b rou g h t hours of w ork in that industry to a postw ar January peak. A ris e of 1. 7 hours in transportation equipm ent a lso b oosted the w orkw eek in this industry to a p o s t w ar peak fo r the month. P r im a ry m etals and e le c tr ic a l m a ch in ery lik ew ise rep orted la rg e o v e r -th e year gains, but hours of w ork in these industries rem ained below the postw ar average fo r the month. O rdnance, m a ch in ery, food , and printing w ere the only in du stries which rep orted w orkw eeks sh orter than la st January. A v era ge w eekly earnings w ere a lso up sharply from y e a r -a g o le v e ls , as a resu lt of both higher hourly pay and a g en erally lon ger w orkw eek. All 21 m a jor industry groups reported som e gains, with the la rg e st in c r e a s e -- $ 10. 4 1 --o c c u r r in g in the rubber industry group. Other substantial in c r e a s e s o c c u r r e d in tran sportation equipm ent ($ 6 . 14), p rim a ry m etals ($ 5 . 34), and e le c tr ic a l m a ch in ery ($ 4 .5 9 ).

These tables may be obtained upon request to the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington 25, D. C. Current statis tics are regularly published in table A-7 of the Employment and Earnings report. Data in greater industry detail are pub lished and released monthly by the cooperating States and may be secured upon request to the ap propriate State agency listed on the inside back cover of this report, or to the U. S. Department b y State, 1 9 3 9 - 1 9 5 3 of Labor. The State employment data for recent years (generally 1947 to the present) have been prepared by State agencies cooperating with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Estimates for earlier years, originally prepared by the Bureau's staff, have been adjusted to make them comparable with the State agencies' estimates for later years. Since the periodic adjustment of employ ment levels to revised benchmarks affects data for the previous year or earlier, supplemental sheets shewing the revised series vill be prepared. nmplnyment and Earnings will announce these re visions as soon as they are available for distri bution.

Current statistics on employment, labor turn over, hours, and earnings are basic indicators of economic change. They are widely used in following business developments and in making decisions in such fields as marketing, personnel, plant location, and government policy. The BLS employment statistics program also provides data used in making official indexes of production, productivity, and national income. The Bureau publishes monthly statistics on employ ment, and hours and earnings for the Nation, for all states,and for selected metropolitan areas. For employment, the total of enployees in nonagricultural establishments is shown; for hours and earnings, data are available for production workers in manufacturing and selected groups in nonmanufacturing industries. Within these broad activities data are published in varying industry detail. Labor turnover rates are presented for both total manufacturing and component groups, as well as for selected mining and commmications industries. Statistics on the number and proportion of women enployees in manufacturing industries and turnover rates for men and women separately are published quarterly. In addition, earnings adjusted for price changes, Federal taxes, and overtime for selected in dustries appear monthly, as well as indexes of production-worker aggregate weekly man-hours for major manufacturing groups. These data are reprinted regularly in the Monthly Labor Review. Each of the series, from the earliest period to date, may be obtained by writing to the BLS Division of Msmpower and Employment Statistics. Such requests should specify the industry series desired. More detailed descriptions of these series are available through reprints of Technical Notes which may be obtained upon request: "Technical Note on the Measurement of Industrial Employment" "Technical Note on Measurement of Labor Turnover" "Technical Note on Hours and Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries" Section A - EMPLOYMENT Definition of Employment BLS employment statistics represent the total number of full- and part-time nonagricultural workers on establishment payrolls during a specified period each month. Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid sick-leave, paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the specified pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the other part of the period are counted as employed. Persons are not considered employed who are laid off or are on leave without pay, who are on strike for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during the period. Proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in house holds are also excluded. Government employment covers only civilian employees. Employment data for nongovernmental establishments refer to persons who worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Current data for Federal Government establishments generally refer to persons who worked on, or received pay for, the last day of the month; for State and local government, persons who received pay for any part of the pay period ending on, or im mediately prior to, the last day of the month. Beginning with January 1952, the data for Federal employment are not strictly comparable with those for prior years, primarily as a result of changes in defi nition. For the national series and except for a few states and areas as noted the following changes were made starting with that month: (l) data refer to the last day of the month rather than the first of the month; (2) employment of the Federal Reserve Banks and of the mixed ownership banks of the Farm Credit Admin istration was transferred from the Federal total to the "Banks and Trust Companies" group of the "Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate" division; (3) fourth-class postmasters, formerly included only in the table show ing Federal civilian employment, are now included in all tables showing government series. Collection of Establishment Reports The employment program is based on establishment payroll reports. An establishment is defined as a single physical location, such as a factory, mine, or store where business is conducted. In the case of a company with several plants or establishments, the BLS endeavors to obtain separate reports from each business unit which maintains separate payroll records, since each may be classified in a different industry. The BLS, with the cooperation of State agencies, collects current employment, payroll, and man-hour in formation by means of "shuttle" schedules (BLS 790 Forms) mailed monthly to individual establishments. This shuttle schedule, which has been used by BLS for more than 20 years, is designed to assist firms to report consistently, accurately, and with a minimum of cost. State agencies mail the forms to the establish ments and examine the returns for consistency, accu racy, and completeness. The states use the informa tion to prepare State and area series and then send the schedules to the BLS Division of Manpower and Employment Statistics for use in preparing the national series. Each questionnaire provides a line for the State agency to enter data for December of the previous year, as well as lines for the cooperating establishments to report for each month of the cur rent calendar year. The December data, copied from the completed previous year's form, give the reporter a means for comparison when reporting for January as an aid to collection of consistent data. The same form is returned each month to the reporting establish ment to be completed. Definitions of terms are de scribed in detail in the instructions on each form. Industrial Classification Code. (U. S. Social Security Board) for reports Arom nonmanufacturing establish ments. BenchmM-k Data Coverage of Establishment Reports The Bureau of Labor Statistics obtains monthly reports from approximately 155,000 establishments, distributed by industry as shown by the following table. The table also shows the approximate proporticn of total employment in each industry division covered by the group of establishments furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual indus tries within the divisions may vary fi*om the propor tions shown.

Therefore, hours and earnings estimates are based on a slightly smaller sample than employment estimates. Classification of Establishment Reports To present meaningful tabulations of employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover data, establish ments are classified into industries on the basis of the principal product or activity determined from in formation on annual sales volume. This information is collected annually on a product supplement to the monthly report. The supplement provides for reporting the percentage of total sales represented by each pro duct. In the case of an establishment making more than one product, the entire employment of the plant is included under the industry indicated by the most important product. The titles and descriptions of industries presented in the 1945 Standard Industrial Classification Manual. Vol. I (U. S. Bureau of the Budget, Washington, D. C.) are used for classifying reports fi*om manufacturing establishments; the 194.2 Experience with employment statistics has shown that without adjustment to new benchmarks, the employ ment estimate tends toward understatement which becomes larger as the distance from the earlier bench mark increases. To adjust for this, the estimates must be periodically compared with actual counts of employment in the various nonagricultural industries, and appropriate revisions made as indicated by the total counts or benchmarks. Basic sources of benchmark information are quar terly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled by State agencies from reports of establish ments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments exempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of their small size. For in dustries not covered by either of the two programs, benchmarks are compiled from special establishment censuses: for example, for interstate railroads, from establishment data reported to the ICC; for State and local government, from data reported to the Bureau of the Census; for the Federal government, from agency data compiled by the Civil Service Commission. Estab lishments are classified into the same industrial groupings for benchmark purposes as they are for monthly reporting. At the time new benchmark data become available, the BLS estimates which had been prepared for the benchmark quarter are compared with the levels of the benchmarks, industry by industry. Where revisions are necessary, the levels are adjusted between the new benchmark and the last previous one. Following revi sion for these Intermediate periods, the industry data from the most recent benchmark are projected to the current month by application of the sample trends used prior to the revision. The benchmark establishes the level, while the sample determines the trend. Estimating Mathod The estimating procedure for industries for which data on both "all employees" and "production and re lated workers" are published (i.e., manufacturing and selected mining industries) is outlined below; the first step of this method is also used for industries for which only figures on "all employees" are pub lished. The first step is to compute total employment (all employees) in the industry for the month following the benchmark period. The all-employee total for the last benchmark month (e.g., March) is multiplied by the per cent change of total employment over the month for a group of establishments reporting for both March and April. Thus, if firms in the BLS sample for an in dustry report 30,000 employees in March and 31,200 in April, April employment is 104 percent (31,200 divided by 30,000) of Ihrch employment. If the all-employee benchmark in March is 40,000, the all-employee total in April would be 104 percent of 40,000 or 41,600. The second step is to compute the production-worker total for the industry. The all-employee total for the month is multiplied by the ratio of production workers to all employees. This ratio is computed &rom those establishment reports which show data for both items. Thus, if these firms in April report 24,400 production workers and a total of 30,500 employees, the ratio of production workers to all employees would be .80 (24,400 divided by 30,500). The production-worker total in April would be 33,280 (41,600 multiplied by .80). Figures for subsequent months are computed by carrying forward the totals for the previous month ac cording to the method described above. Comparability With Other Employment Estimates Data published by other government and private agencies differ from BLS employment statistics because of differences in definition, sources of information, methods of collection, classification, and estimation. BLS monthly figures are not directly comparable, for example, with the estimates of the Bureau of the Census Mmthlv Report on the Labor Force (MOF). Census data are obtained by personal interviews with individual members of a small sample of households and are de signed to provide information on the work status of the whole population, classified by their demographic char acteristics. The BLS, on the other hand, obtains data by mail questionnaire which are based on the payroll records of business units, and prepares detailed statistics on the industrial and geographic distribu tion of employment and on hours of work and earnings. Since BLS employment figures are based on estab lishment payroll records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period will be counted more than once in the BLS series. By definition, proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic servants, and unpaid family workers are excluded from the BLS but not the MRIF series. The two series also differ in date of reference, BLS collecting data for the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month (except for government), while the MRLF relates to the calendar week containing the 8th day of the month. Employment estimates derived by the Bureau of the Census from its censuses and/or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments also differ from BLS employment statistics. Among the important reasons for lack of comparability are differences in industries covered, in the business units considered parts of an establishment, and in the industrial classification of establishments. EmBleyaeRt Statistics for States and Areas State and area employment statistics are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These statistics are based on the same reports used for preparing national estimates. State series are adjusted to benchmark data from State unemployment insurance agencies and the Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance. Because some States have more recent benchmarks than others and use slightly varying methods of computation, the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from the official U. S. totals prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. State and area data in greater industry detail and for earlier periods may be secured directly upon request to the appropriate State agency or to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The names and addresses of these agencies are listed on the inside back cover of this report. - EMPLOYMENT - SUMMARY OF METHODS OF COMPUTATtON Item Individual manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries Total nonagricultural, divisions, major groups and groups MONTHLY DATA All emBiQxee9 All-employee estimate for previous month multiplied by ratio of all employees in current month to all employees in previous month for sample establishments which reported for both months.

During the period January 1-31 a total of 284 employees in all reporting firms quit. The quit rate for the in dustry is: to the gross movement of wage and salary workers into and out of employment status vith respect to individ ual firms. This movement is subdivided into two broad types: accessions (nev hires and rehires) and separa tions (terminations of employment initiated by either the employer or the employee). Each type of action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate per 100 employees. Rates of accession and separation are shovn separately. All employees, including execu tive, office, sales, and other salaried personnel as veil as production workers are covered by both the turnover movements and the employment base used in computing labor turnover rates. All groups of em ployees - full- and part-time, permanent and tempo rary - are included. Transfers from one establishment to another vithin a company are not considered to be turnover items. The terms used in labor turnover statistics are defined in the glossary under "Labor Turnover." 284 x 100 = 1.1 25,498 To compute, turnover rates for industry groups, the rates for the component industries are veighted by the estimated employment. Rates for the durable and non durable goods subdivisions and manufacturing division are computed by veighting the rates of major industry groups by the estimated employment. Classification of Establ^^nf*"^ Reports Beginning vith data for January 1950, manufacturing establishments reporting labor turnover are classified in accordance vith the Standard Industrial Classifica tion (1945) code structure. Definitions of nonmanu facturing industries are based on the Social Security Board Classification Code (1942). For additional details, see Section A-Employment. Source of Data and Sample Coverage Comparability Vith Earlier Data Labor turnover data are obtained each month from a sample of establishments by means of a mail ques tionnaire. Schedules are received from approximately 7,100 cooperating establishments in the manufacturing, mining, and communication industries (see belov). The definition of manufacturing used in the turnover series is more restricted than in the BLS series on employ ment and hours and earnings because of the exclusion of certain manufacturing industries from the labor turnover sample. The major industries excluded are: printing, publishing, and allied industries (since April 1943); canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods; vomen's and misses' outervear; and fer tilizer.

Method of Computation To compute turnover rates for individual industries, the total number of each type of action (accessions, quits, etc.) reported for a calendar month by the sample establishments in each industry is first divided by the total number of employees (both vage and salary vorkers), reported by these establishments, vho worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of that month. The result is multiplied by 100 to obtain the turnover rate. Labor turnover rates are available on a comparable basis from January 1930 for manufacturing as a vhole and from 1943 for tvo coal mining and two communication industries. Labor turnover rates for many individual industries and industry groups for the period prior to January 1950 are not comparable vith the rates for the subsequent period because of a revision vhich involved (1) the adoption of the Standard Industrial Classifi cation (1945) code structure for manufacturing indus tries, and (2) the introduction of veighting in the computation of industry-group rates. Comparability W3th Emnl ovment Series Month-to-month changes in total employment in manu facturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable vith the changes shovn in the Bu reau's employment series for the folloving reasons: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar-month; the em ployment reports, for the most part, refer to a 1-veek pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. (2) The turnover sample is not as large as the employment sample and includes propor tionately fever small plants; certain in dustries are not covered (see paragraph on source of data and sample coverage). (3) Hants are not included in the turnover com putations in months vhen vork stoppages are in progress; the influence of such stoppages is reflected, hovever, in the employment figures. Section C - HOURS AND EARNiNGS Production-and Nonsupervisory-Worker Employment. Payroll, and Man-Hours The monthly employment and payroll schedule provides the folloving information required to compute averages of hours and earnings: (1) The number of full- and part-time oroductionvorkers or nonsupervisory employees vho vorked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period re ported. Data cover production and re^arted vorkers in manufacturing, mining, laundries, and cleaning and dyeing plants. Employees covered in the contract con struction industries are those engaged in actual con struction vork. For the remaining industries, unless othervise noted, data refer to all nonsupervisory em ployees and vorking supervisors. (See glossary.) (2) Total gross payrolls for such vorkers before deductions for old-age and unemployment insurance, vithholding tax, bonds, union dues, and special cloth ing allovances. The payroll figures also include pay for sick leave, holidays, and vacations taken. Ex cluded are: cash payments for vacations not taken; retroactive pay not earned during the period reported; value of payments in kind; contributions to velfare funds, and insurance or pension plans; and commissions and bonuses, unless earned and paid regularly each pay period. (3) Total man-hours, vhether vorked or paid for, of full- and part-time production or nonsupervisory vorkers including hours naid for holidays, sick leave, and vacations taken. If employees elect to vork during a vacation period, only actual hours vorked by such employees are included. The period reported generally represents the veekly pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Some establishments, hovever, use a 2-veek or longer pay period. Such schedules are edited to reduce the payroll and man-hour aggregates to their proper equiva lents for a veekly period. Collection of Establishment Reports earnings for those employees not covered under the production-vorker or nonsupervisory-employee defini tions . In addition to the factors mentioned, vhich exert varying influences upon gross average hourly earnings, gross average veekly earnings are affected by changes in the length of the vorkveek, part-time vork, stop pages for varying causes, labor turnover, and absen teeism. Gross veekly earnings are not the amount actually available to workers for spending because no deduction has been made for income and social security taxes, group insurance, occupational supplies, and union dues. For veekly earnings after deduction for Federal taxes see table C-3. For approximations of "real" gross veekly earnings, i.e., after adjustment for price changes, see table C-2. Average Weekly Hours The vorkveek information relates to average hours vorked or paid for, and is somevhat different from standard or scheduled hours. Normally, such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time vork, and stop pages cause average veekly hours to be lover than the hours of vorkers vho are on the payroll during the vhole vorkveek. Group averages further reflect changes in the vorkveek of component industries. Gross Average Weekly Earnings in Current and 1947-49 Dollars Table C-2 shovs gross average veekly earnings in both current and 1947-49 dollars for selected indus tries. These series indicate changes in the level of veekly earnings before and after adjustment for changes n purchasing pover as determined from the Bureau's Consumer Price Index. The 3-year average— 1947, 1948, and 1949— vas selected as the base in conformity vith the Bureau of the Budget recommendations that Federal statistics have a common 1947-49 base period. See Section A-Employment. No 6 Spendable Average Weekly Earnings Coverage of Establishment Reports See Section A-Employment. Classification of Establishment Reports See Section A-Employment. Description of Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings Series The average hourly earnings information for manu facturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis; i.e., they reflect not only changes in basic hourly and incentive vage rates, but also such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late shift vork, and changes in output of vorkers paid on an incentive basis. Employment shifts betveen rela tively high-paid and lov-paid vork and changes in vorkers' earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individual industries. Averages of hourly earnings should not be confused vith vage rates. Earnings refer to the actual return to the vorker for a stated period of time; rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit of vork or tiiue. Hovever, the average earnings series should not be in terpreted as representing total labor costs on the part of the employer, since the following are excluded: ir regular bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various velfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and Net spendable average veekly earnings are obtained by deducting appropriate amounts for social security and Federal income taxes from gross veekly earnings. The amount of income tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by the vorker, as veil as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these variables, net spendable earnings have been computed for tvo types of income-receivers: (l) a vorker vith no dependents; (2) a vorker vith three dependents. The computations of net spendable earnings for both the factory vorker vith no dependents and the factory vorker with three dependents are based upon the gross average veekly earnings for all production vorkers in manufacturing industries without regard to marital status, family composition, and total family income. The spendable series measures relative changes in the average disposable earnings for tvo types of incomereceivers . Net spendable veekly earnings in 1947-49 dollars represent an approximate measure of changes in "real" net spendable veekly earnings as indicated by the changes in the Bureau's Consumer Price Index. "Real" net spendable veekly earnings are computed by applying the current CPI to the spendable earnings average for the current month. The resulting level of spendable earnings expressed in 1947-49 dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing pover since that base period. A detailed technical note on net spendable veekly earnings may be obtained upon request. S=E Average Hourly Earnings. Excluding Overtime, of Production Workers in Manufacturing Industries The Bureau publishes average hourly earnings exclu sive of overtime premium payments for manufacturing as a whole and the durable- and nondurable-goods sub divisions. These data are based on the application of adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly Labor Review. May 1950, pp.53754-0; reprint available, Serial No. R. 2020). This method eliminates only the additional earnings due to overtime paid for at one and one-half time the straighttime rates after 40 hours a week. Thus, no adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions— for example, holiday vork, late shift work, and penalty rates other than time and one-half. The set of adjustment factors can be used to eli minate premium overtime payments from average hourly earnings in any manufacturing industry where overtime for individual workers consists typically of hours in excess of 40 per week paid for at the rate of time and one-half. As these factors yield results which are only approximate, they may not be appropriate when exact figures are required. Indexes of Production-worker Aggregate Weekly Man-hours 1 week of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, and may not be typical of the entire month. Ag gregate man-hours differ from scheduled man-hours due to such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover, parttime work, and stoppages. Railroad Hours and Earnings The figures for Class I railroads (excluding switch ing and terminal companies) are based upon monthly data summarized in the M-300 report of the Interstate Com merce Commission and relate to all employees who re ceived pay during the month, except executives, offi cials, and staff assistants (ICC Group I). Gross averqge hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensa tion by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Because hours and earnings data for manufacturing and other nonmanufacturing industries are based upon reports to the Bureau of Labor Statistics which generally represent 1 weekly pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, the data for railroad employees are not strictly comparable with other in dustry information shown in this publication. Hours and Gross E^r^ln^s for Selected States and Areas The indexes of production-worker aggregate weekly man-hours are prepared by dividing the current month *s aggregate by the monthly average for the 1947-49 period. These aggregates represent the product of average weekly hours and production-worker employment. The aggregate man-hours are defined as total manhours for which pay was received by full- and part-time production workers, including hours paid for holidays, sick leave, and vacations taken. The man-hours are for - HOURS AND EARNtNGS Item The State and area hours and earnings data for manu facturing are prepared by cooperating State agencies. These estimates are based on the same reports used in preparing national estimates. Inasmuch as the estimates presented in this report relate only to manufacturing as a whole, variations in earnings among the States and areas are, to a large degree, caused by differences in industrial composition. For additional details on State and area statistics see Section A-Employment.

Section D -G L O S S A R Y separations (including military), as defined belov. Quits are terminations of employment during the calendar month initiated by employees for such reasons as: acceptance of a job in another company, dissatisfaction, return to school, marriage, mater nity, ill health, or voluntary retirement vhere no company pension is provided.

Also includes employees on the establishment payroll engaged in new construction and major additions or alterations to the plant vho are utilized as a separate work force (force-account construction workers). Proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic servants, unpaid family vorkers, and members of the Armed Forces are excluded. Discharges are terminations of employment during the calendar month initiated by the employer for such reasons as employees' incompetence, violation of rules, dishonesty, insubordination, laziness, habitual ab senteeism, or inability to meet physical standards. CONSTRICTION WORKERS - Includes vorking foremen, journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, helpers, laborers, and similar vorkers, engaged in nev work, alterations, demolition, and other actual construction vork, at the site of construction or vorking in shop or yard at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling) ordinarily performed by members of the construction trades; in cludes all such vorkers, regardless of skill, engaged in any way in contract construction activities. Layoffs are terminations of employment during the calendar month lasting or expected to last more than seven consecutive calendar days without pay, initi ated by the employer without prejudice to the worker, for such reasons as lack of orders or materials, re lease of temporary help, conversion of plant, intro duction of labor-saving machinery or processes, or suspensions of operations without pay during inven tory periods. CONTRACT CONSTRUCTION - Covers only firms engaged in the construction business on a contract basis for others. Force-account construction vorkers, i.e., hired di rectly by and on the payroll of Federal, State, and local government, public utilities, and private estab lishments, are excluded from contract construction and included in the employment for such establishments Mtscellaneovs separations (including military) are terminations of employment during the calendar month because of permanent disability, death, retirement on company pension, and entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than thirty consecutive calendar days. Prior to 1940, miscellaneous separations were included with quits. Beginning September 1940, mili tary separations were included here. DURABLE GOODS - The durable goods subdivision includes the following major industry groups: ordnance and accessories; lumber and vood products; furniture and fixtures; stone, clay, and glass products; primary metal industries; fabricated metal products; machinery; electrical machinery; transportation equipment; in struments and related products; and miscellaneous manufacturing industries as defined. This definition is consistent with that used by other Federal agencies, e.g., Federal Reserve Board. FINANCE, INSURANCE,AND REAL ESTATE - Covers establish ments operating in the fields of finance, insurance, and real estate, and beginning January 1952, also in cludes the Federal Reserve Banks and the mixed-ownership banks of the Farm Credit Administration for national and most State and area estimates. However, in a few State and area estimates the latter tvo agencies are included under Government until revisions can be made by the cooperating State agencies con cerned. These exceptions are appropriately noted. GOVERNMSNT - Covers Federal, State, and local government establishments performing legislative, executive, and judicial functions, including Government corporations, Government force-account construction, and such units as arsenals, navy yards, and hospitals. Fourth-class postmasters are included in the national series and most State and area series. Exceptions are noted. State and local government employment includes teachers, but excludes, as nominal employees, paid volunteer firemen and elected officials of small local units. LABOR TURNOVER: Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar month and are classified according to cause: quits, discharges, layoffs, and miscellaneous Persons on leave of absence (paid or unpaid) with the approval of the employer are not counted as sepa rations until such time as it is definitely determined that such persons will not return to work. At that time, a separation is reported as one of the above types, depending on the circumstances. Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll during tht calendar month, including both new and rehired em ployees. Persons returning to work after a layoff, military separation, or other absences who have been counted as separations are considered accessions. MANUFACTURING - Covers only private establishments. Government manufacturing operations such as arsenals and navy yards are excluded from manufacturing and included under Government. MINING - Covers establishments engaged in the extraction from the earth of organic and inorganic minerals which occur in nature as solids, liquids, or gases; includes various contract services required in mining opera tions, such as removal of overburden, tunneling and shafting, and the drilling or acidizing of oil wells; also includes ore dressing, beneficiating, and con centration.
