Employment and Unemployment Developments,
January 1972
Employment rose in January, while the unemployment rate was essentially unchanged. The overall jobless
rate was 5.9 percent in January, compared with 6.0 percent in December, as revised. The jobless rate has
remained close to 6 percent since late 1970.
Total employment rose 240,000 in January (seasonally adjusted), after eliminating the effect of the
introduction of 1970 census population controls into
the procedures used in developing the statistics. Employment has advanced strongly since last summer.
Nonfarm payroll employment also rose in January,
reaching 71.4 million (seasonally adjusted), an alltime
high. However, the average workweek in private nonfarm industries, particularly in manufacturing, declined
over the month.
Unemployment
The number of unemployed persons, which always
increases substantially between December and January,
rose this January to 5.4 million. On a seasonally adjusted
basis, unemployment in January was little different from
the December level. Although there was a small increase
in joblessness among part-time workers, the rise was
offset by a decline among full-time workers.
The unemployment rate for full-time workers declined
slightly over the month (from 5.7 to 5.5 percent), while
the rate for part-time workers rose from 8.4 to 9.0 percent. Jobless rates for the major age-sex groups—men
20 years and over (4.2 percent), women 20 years and
over (5.5 percent), and teenagers (17.8 percent)—were
little changed between December and January and were
at about the same levels as a year ago. There was, however, some over-the-month decline in joblessness among
men and women 25 years and over, as well as among
married men.
Unemployment rates for white workers (5.3 percent)
and Negro workers (10.6 percent) were essentially unchanged in January from the December levels. The rate
for white workers was slightly below the year-ago level,
while that for Negroes was above the January 1971 rate
(9.5 percent).




The jobless situation for workers in most major
industry and occupational groups was little changed in
January. However, the jobless rate for construction
workers dropped from 11.2 percent in December to 9.8
percent in January, following a rise of about the same
magnitude in December. The factory jobless rate declined
from 6.9 to 6.4 percent in January.
Joblessness among workers covered by State unemployment insurance programs declined markedly in
January, as their jobless rate moved from 4.1 percent in
December to 3.4 percent. The State insured rate was at
its lowest point since the spring of 1970.
The number of persons jobless 15 weeks or more was
1.2 million, seasonally adjusted, in January, slightly
below the December level. However, the average (mean)
duration of joblessness rose to 11.8 weeks in January,
seasonally adjusted, after declining in the 2 previous
months. The average duration was VA weeks longer than
in January 1971.

Civilian labor force and total employment
The number of persons in the civilian labor force
declined in January, as it usually does at this time of
year. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the labor force
was up by 480,000 to 85.7 million; however, after allowance for the upward adjustment in the labor force level
(333,000) as a result of the introduction of 1970 census
population data, the labor force was little changed from
the December level.
Total employment also declined over the month, but
less than it usually does between December and January.
As a result, after seasonal adjustment, total employment
was up by 240,000 (eliminating the 301,000 upward
adjustment stemming from the introduction of the new
population controls).
Over the year ending in January 1972, the civilian
labor force and employment have each increased by
1.6 million (after eliminating the effects of the population control adjustment), with most of the increases
occurring since last summer.

Vietnam Era veterans
Four million Vietnam veterans 20-29 years old were
in the labor force in January; 3.6 million of them held
jobs and 400,000 were unemployed. After seasonal
adjustment, the number of jobless veterans (340,000)
and their unemployment rate (8.5 percent) were no
different in January than during the last 3 months of
1971. (Table 1 contains seasonally adjusted data for the
first time for veterans and nonveterans.)
For nonveterans 20 to 29 years old, the seasonally
adjusted unemployment rate, at 7.5 percent, was also
unchanged from the last few months of 1971. The rate
for veterans has generally been higher than that for
nonveterans in the same age group, but the gap has narrowed since last October.
Industry payroll employment
Nonagricultural payroll employment, which usually
drops sharply between December and January, declined
by 1.6 million this January. The drop was somewhat
smaller than usual, however, and after seasonal adjustment, nonfarm payroll employment rose by 240,000
over the month to 71.4 million—an alltime high.
(Payroll employment data are not linked to population
levels and are therefore unaffected by the introduction

of the new population controls.) Payroll employment
has been rising steadily since last summer, posting a gain
of 875,000 between August and January.
The January increase in payroll employment was
about evenly divided between the goods-producing and
service-producing sectors of the economy. The largest
gain occurred in the contract construction industry
(75,000) and represented a rebound from a slightly
larger decline between November and December. In
manufacturing, employment rose by 45,000 in January,
with most of the increase occurring in the durable goods
sector. Factory employment has risen by 160,000 since
reaching its recent low in August 1971.
In the service-producing industries, employment rose
by 115,000, seasonally adjusted, in January. The largest
over-the-month increases were posted in transportation
and public utilities, retail trade, and State and local
government.
Hours of work
The average workweek for all rank-and-file workers
on private nonagricultural payrolls declined more than
usual between December and January. After seasonal
adjustment, the average workweek was down 0.3 hour
to 36.9 hours. This drop returned weekly hours to the
levels that had prevailed throughout most of 1971. The

War veterans 20 to 29 years old are all veterans of the Vietnam Era (service at any time after August 4, 1964), and they account for over 80 percent of the Vietnam Era veterans of all ages. Post-Korean-peacetime veterans 20 to 29 years old are not included
in this table.

Not applicable.
NOTE: This table introduces seasonally adjusted data for male veterans and nonveterans 20 to 29 years old, which was made
possible by the availability of data through 1971. Because of the small number of years of data available, seasonal adjustments were
made by a simpler technique than the standard Bureau of Labor Statistics procedure used for series with 8 or more years of data.




largest reduction in average hours took place in manufacturing, where the workweek moved down by 0.4
hour to 39.9 hours, seasonally adjusted. This decline
was concentrated in the durable goods industries, which
had posted sizeable increases over the previous 3 months.
Factory overtime, at 2.9 hours in January, was down 0.2
hour from December, returning to the levels that had
prevailed through nearly all of 1971.
Hourly and weekly earnings
The average hourly earnings of production and nonsupervisory workers on private nonagricultural payrolls
rose 3 cents in January to $3.53. After adjustment for
seasonality, average hourly pay was up 2 cents. Compared with a year ago, hourly earnings have risen 20
cents, or 6.0 percent.
Despite the increase in average hourly earnings, the
decline in the actual workweek resulted in a $1.35
decrease in average weekly earnings, to $129.20. After
seasonal adjustment, however, average weekly earnings
were down only 31 cents in January.
Compared with January 1971, average weekly earnings
were up $7.32, or 6.0 percent. During the latest 12month period for which the Consumer Price Index
is available-—December 1970 to December 1971 —
consumer prices rose by 3.4 percent.

Hourly earnings index
Incorporated in this analysis for the first time is the
Bureau's Hourly Earnings Index, a series which provides
the best available monthly measure of underlying wage
movements for production and nonsupervisory workers
in the private nonfarm economy. These data are regularly
published in Employment and Earnings (tables C-11
through C-15) as well as in two other BLS monthly
periodicals, Current Wage Developments and the Monthly
Labor Review,
The Hourly Earnings Index te adjusted to exclude
effects of two types of changes that are unrelated to
underlying wage rate developments: Fluctuations in
overtime premiums in manufacturing (the only sector
for which overtime data are available) and the effects
of shifts of workers between high-wage and low-wage
industries. However, it is not a pure measure of wagerate change since it is affected by such factors as
fluctuations in earnings under incentive plans, changes
in the proportions of low- and high-paid workers
within establishments, and overtime variations outside
of manufacturing.
In January, the Hourly Earnings Index, seasonally
adjusted, was 133.8 (1967=100), according to preliminary figures. The index was 0.4 percent higher in

January a year ago. (See table 2.) Because erratic
monthly fluctuations can occur in the index, changes
over longer intervals than a month should be observed
before reaching conclusions as to a trend.
During the 12-month period ending in December, the
Hourly Earnings Index in dollars of constant purchasing




power rose 3.2 percent, the largest increase since the
beginning of the series in 1964.
All industry components of the seasonally adjusted
index for January increased over December, with the
exception of manufacturing. The increases ranged from
0.2 percent in trade to 1.3 percent in mining. Between
January 1971 and January 1972, all industries posted
increases, ranging from 5.0 percent in services to 9.5
percent in transportation and public utilities.

Revisions in Current Population Survey
*By Gary M. Shapiro and
Marvin M. Thompson

extensive description of the sample before the current
revisions appears in "Concepts and Methods Used in
Manpower Statistics from the Current Population
Survey," BLS Report 313. This report is available from
BLS on request.

Introduction
Statistics on the employment status of the population
and its characteristics are compiled monthly for the BLS
by the Bureau of the Census in the Current Population
Survey (GPS). These monthly surveys of the population
are conducted with a scientifically selected sample of
households and other living quarters designed to represent the civilian noninstitutional population of the
United States.
The sample design used for the CPS is based to a large
extent on the distribution of the population reported
in the most recent decennial census. As the time since
the most recent census increases, the efficiency of the
sample declines, and although the estimates continue
to be unbiased, the sampling errors increase somewhat.
Consequently, since the inception of the household
survey in 1940, it has beers the practice to revise the
CPS sample after each decennial census, utilizing data
from the census. This occasion also has been used to
introduce other improvements deemed desirable, such
as changes in the methods of sampling or survey procedures developed between decennial censuses. As 1970
census data now is becoming available, a number of such
revisions in the sample design and the survey procedures
are being introduced into the CPS, beginning with
December 1971.
In order to avoid sudden changes in the survey results
with possible effects on comparability, the major revisions occasioned by the 1970 data are being introduced gradually. They will be spread over a 16-month
period starting with December 1971 and continuing
through March 1973. Essentially, the revisions involve
two aspects of the survey: (1) Materials and methods
used to select the households and persons in the sample,
and (2) methods and data used in the estimation procedure, that is, in the method of adjusting the sample
data so that they best reflect the entire population.
The major changes being introduced are the subject
of this article. Further details on this survey and a more




Sampling methods
Three changes in sampling methods are being made:
1) Change in set of sample primary sampling units, 2) use
of 1970 census sampling materials, and 3) reduction in
the average segment size.
Change in set of sample primary sampling units. The
sample used for the CPS is.a representative multi-stage
sample selected to represent the population of the
United States. The first stage of sampling requires
grouping of primary sampling units (PSU's, each of which
typically consists of a county or a group of counties)
into strata from which are drawn the sample PSU's. The
PSU's within each stratuhf* are made as similar to each
other as possible with respect to a variety of demographic,
social, and economic characteristics. The sample PSU's
are selected within each stratum with probability proportionate to the population in the PSU's.
A review of the grouping of PSU's into strata based
on 1970 census data and other new materials developed
during the past decade has been undertaken. Changes
have been made where necessary arid the probabilities
of selection have been changed where necessary to
reflect the 1970 population. As a result, new sample
PSU's have been selected from these strata in a number
of cases. The new areas will be introduced gradually,
beginning with the August 1972 survey.
Use of 1970 census samp/ing materials. The majority
of the units in the Current sample are selected from
listings of housing units prepared during the previous
(1960) census. Units constructed since the census are
represented by samples selected from files of building

permits. The selection is performed so that the designated
units are in groups of units called segments. Beginning
with the December 1971 survey, the selection process
wil[ utilize materials drawn from the 1970 census.
Selection of the sample units from this source will result
in less variation in the segment size and will improve the
reliability of the sample estimates. In order to insure the
continued consistences of the data, the introduction of
1970 materials will be spread over a 16-morith period.
For example, in December 1971, about 8 percent of the
sample was based on new sampling materials drawn
from the 1970 census.
Reduction in the average segment size. For reasons of
cost and efficiencey, the sample of households or units
within a specific area usually is divided into a number of
small groups spread throughout the area, These groups
are called segments and, at present, average about 6
addresses. Studies undertaken by the Bureau of the
Census have determined that decreasing the segment
size from 6 to 4, with a concurrent increase in the overall
number of segments, would result in a more efficient
sample. All other things equal, the smaller the segment
size in a sample, the more reliable the data. On the other
hand, the cost of conducting a survey goes up as segment
size decreases. The proper balance between the two
results in ah efficient sample design. Recent studies
indicated that an improvement in reliability would result if the average segment size were changed from 6 to
A, and the total sample were reduced slightly to account
for the increased costs, implementation of these changes,
which also are being introduced gradually beginning with
the data collected for December 1971, will result in
more reliable data with no increase in survey costs.
At the same time, the method of defining the
segments has been revised so that, where possible, all
units at a single address are included in the same segment.
This change is intended to improve the ability of the
interviewer to cover all units designated for the sample.
In general, this change applies primarily to the sample
selected in urban areas.
Estimation procedure
Also, three revisions are being made in the estimation
methods. The first revision (ratio estimation to independent estimates of the population) represents no change
in method; the change is simply the use of 1970 census
data instead of updated 1960 census data in determining
the independent estimates. For the other two, slight
changes in methods are involved also. Unlike the situation
for sampling methods, each revision in estimation will
be introduced completely in a single month.
Ratio estimation to independent estimates of the population. Each month, the Census Bureau prepares current




independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutional
population by age, race, and sex, by modifying the most
recent census data to take account of subsequent births,
mortality arid aging of the population, and the migration
between the United States and other countries. The
resulting figures are used to produce sample estimates
for the month. In effect, the information from the
sample is used to determine the percentage of the population having the desired characteristic within each agerace-sex group, and the absolute numbers are derived
by applying these percentages to the independent population figures. For the past decade, 1960 census counts
were used as the basis for the independent estimates.
The timing of the changeover to the 1970 census
material (January 1972) was determined by the completion date for the tabulations of the necessary census
information. In order to measure the effect of the change
to 1970 census data, the survey results have been tabulated for several months using both 1960 and 1970 as
the basis of the population figures. As the new census
population figures show a somewhat different age distribution than the old, the age distribution of the labor
force and employed also will differ slightly. However,
there is no effect on percent distributions of characteristics within age groups or on the labor force or unemployment rates by age. The effect on comparability with data
before January 1972 is not considered sufficient to
warrant revisions of earlier statistics. Users who wish to
make allowances can do so on the basis of the data
shown in the tables at the end of the article.
Noninierview adjustment procedure. The weights for
all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent
needed to account for occupied sample households for
which no information was obtained because of absence,
impassable roads, refusals, or unavailability for other
reasons. In the past this adjustment was made separately
by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six
groups—race (white and Negro and other races) by
residence categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural
farm). The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5 percent depending on weather,
vacations, etc.
Effective with the data for December 1971, a change
is being made in the residence categories used. For
PSU's which are standard metropolitan statistical areas
(SSVISA's), the residence categories are now central city
of SMSA, balance urban, and balance rural. For other
PSU's, the same residence categories as in the past are
being used. This change should improve the reliability of
data for the portions of SMSA's inside and outside
central cities but will have no perceptible effect on
national estimates.

First-stage ratio-estimation procedure,. This ratio estimation procedure takes into account the differences
existing at the time of the census between the raceresidence distribution for the nation and for the sample
areas.
At present, 1960 census data are used for these ratio
estimates. When the data become available (within the
next few months), 1970 census information will be used
instead. At the same time, the definition of the residence
categories will be changed in order to make them
consistent with the definitions used in the noninterview
adjustment procedure. The improvement in reliability
will apply primarily to estimates of agricultural employment and related characteristics and should have little
effect on estimated unemployment rates.

system was introduced in the coding of the CPS in
January 1971 and was described in Employment and
Earnings in February 1971. l However, the occupation
categories for which tabulations are shown in Employment and Earnings were not changed at that time.
The tabulation programs have now been revised for
January 1972 to produce data comparable with the
1970 census summary classification. The major change
in the reclassification of occupation was the splitting
of the operatives category into "operatives, except
transport" and "transport equipment operatives."
Comparison of the occupational distribution shown in
table A-18 of this report with the like table in last
year's reports will show that several titles have been
changed, without change in content.
A more detailed discussion of the background of the
occupational classification system and an analysis of
many of these classification revisions were described in
the December 1969 issue of the Statistical Reporter,
a monthly bulletin of the Office of Management and
Budget. In addition, the full detail of the 1970 classification system will be presented in Chapter D, Volume 1
of Characteristics of the Population, as part of the 1970
Population Census publication program.

Changes in presentation of occupational data
An additional change being made is in the method of
tabulating occupational data. It does not involve a
change in the estimation procedure or the sample
method.
A comprehensive revision in the classification of
occupation and industry data occurred in the 1970
Census of Population; this revision reflects recognition
of new categories, reduces the size of the "not elsewhere
classified" groups, and refines categories. This revised

Seasonal Adjustment for Labor Force Series
In accordance with its regular practice at the beginning of each year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has
revised the seasonal adjustment factors for unemployment and other labor force series. The revisions incorporate data through December 1971. The revised seasonal
adjustment factors shown on page 12 and the seasonally
adjusted series on pages 137-206 replace those published
in the February 1971 issue of this publication, which
were based on data through December 1970. The incorporation of 1971 data and the recomputation of the
seasonally adjusted data did not affect the unemployment rate of all civilian workers published last year
in six months and altered it by 0.1 percentage point
in five months and by 0.2 percentage point in only
one month (June). Because they are calculated from
unadjusted numbers, annual averages are not affected
by the adjustment of seasonal factors.
Method of adjustment *
As has been the case for the past several years, the
seasonal adjustment method used for the labor force
series is an adaptation of the traditional ratio-to-movingaverage method, with allowance for changing seasonal
patterns. The original data are regarded as a product of
a trend-cycle component, a seasonal component, and an
irregular component. The trend-cycle represents the longrun trend and cyclical movement of the series. The seasonal component is the annual repetitive pattern which
makes certain months consistently higher or lower than
others. The irregular component is a residual, including
sampling errors and short-term fluctuations, due to unusual weather, strikes, etc., which do not follow any
consistent pattern. After a satisfactory decomposition is
achieved, the seasonally adjusted series is computed by
dividing each month's original value by the corresponding
seasonal factor.
A centered 12-month moving average of the original
data is used as the first estimate of the trend-cycle. This
estimate is divided into the original value to isolate the
seasonal-irregular component. A 7-term weighted moving
average of these seasonal-irregulars for the same month
of successive years provides estimates of the seasonal
factors. The quotient of each seasonal-irregular divided




10

by the corresponding seasonal is an estimate of the
irregular component, which at this stage includes some
residual trend-cycle, because the 12-month moving
average is an imperfect measure of the trend-cycle. These
irregulars are smoothed to provide a trend improvement
factor, which is multiplied by the 12-month moving
average to yield a better trend-cycle. A new decomposition based on the revised trend-cycle then is computed.
The use of the revised 12-month moving average to
compute a trend-cycle would end the process were it
not for the problem of extreme values. Most series contain some extreme values which do not f i t the general
pattern. To handle these, the BLS uses a graduated approach in which the data value is assigned a credence
factor between zero and one. Each credence factor is
based on the size of the irregular deviation for that value:
Small deviations are accepted; large deviations are rejected; and intermediate deviations receive weights of
more than zero and less than one.
The credence factors are used in two ways. They
serve as auxilary weights in the various moving averages
so that the effect of each aberrant figure is reduced in
accordance with its credence factor. They are used also
in computing modified original values, where the amount
of modification varies inversely with the credence
factor.
The process is repeated twice in order to refine the
credence factors and the resulting decomposition. The
effect of these refinements is to keep most of the aberrations out of the trend-cycle and seasonal components
and make them part of the irregular component instead.
Many of the labor force series are seasonally adjusted
by aggregation rather than directly, that is, components
of a series are adjusted directly and their seasonally adjusted values then are combined to provide seasonally
adjusted values for the aggregate. Most of the unemployment rates are a quotient of one such aggregate divided
by another. The 12 basic component series, which are
used in computing the overall unemployment rate, are
the four age-sex groups (male and female, under and over

method, see the BLS Seasonal Factor Method (1966). which is

20 years of age) for unemployment, nonagricultural
employment, and agricultural employment.
Because some time series are of less than 8 years'
duration, they must be seasonally adjusted by a simpler
technique than the standard BLS procedure described.
Of the adjusted series published in this report, those on
reasons for unemployment and unemployed 16-19 yearolds seeking full- and part-time work are adjusted by the
less complex method.
Seasonal factors for the labor force series are updated
only once a year. However, the reliability of the seasonal
adjustment of these data is under continual review. If,
at any time, it appears that some modification of the
seasonal adjustment procedures will produce more accurate seasonally adjusted data, changes in these procedures may be made before the usual up-dating next
January.
Historical comparability
Beginning in 1960, the data include Alaska and Hawaii;
this fact should be taken into account in making comparisons with previous years. The inclusion of Alaska
and Hawaii resulted in an increase of about 300,000 in
the labor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural
employment. The levels of other labor force categories
were not changed appreciably.
In 1953, population data from the 1950 census were
introduced into the estimating procedure, affecting the
comparability of the labor force figures with previous
years. Labor force, total employment, and agricultural
employment levels were raised by about 350,000,
primarily the figures for all persons and for males.
Similarly, population data from the 1960 census were
introduced in April 1962; this change primarily affected
the labor force and employment totals, which were
reduced by about 200,000. The unemployment totals
were virtually unchanged. Because it will be introduced
with January 1972 data, the adjustment of the CPS
based on 1970 census population data does not affect
the re-seasonally adjusted labor force series presented
here (i.e., before January 1972). The 1970 census population adjustments, which are described elsewhere in this
publication, however, will affect the comparability of
monthly seasonally adjusted series during the year 1972
with data before January.
Beginning in January 1967, all data reflect the conceptual changes adopted at that time as a result of the
recommendations of the President's Committee to Appraise Employment and Unemployment Statistics. 2
Most of the changes are not believed to have significantly
affected the seasonality of labor force series. However,
the addition of a current availability test for all job-




seekers did have important effects. Specifically, persons
who are looking for jobs for some future period but are
not available for work at the time of the jobseeking
period are no longer counted as unemployed. In terms
of seasonality, this had its most noticable effect on
young persons in school who are seeking summer jobs
during the spring. For 1967 and subsequent years, a
special procedure was devised to produce appropriate
seasonal factors on a current basis for unemployment
series affected by this change—in general, all series
involving 16-19 year-olds and short duration unemployment (less than 5 weeks). This procedure involved the
creation of several "synthetic" series for the 1962-66
period, in which estimates of 16-19 year-olds looking for
full-time work while still in school were excluded from
the unemployed during the months March through June.
In this way, a reasonably consistent series of 8 years'
duration became available for seasonal adjustment.
Because the introduction of the availability test brought
about a break in series, only the adjusted data for 1967
forward are used for the affected series and are combined
with already-adjusted data from the pre-1967 period.
In addition to altering the seasonal pattern of teenage
unemployment, the 1967 changes tended to affect the
comparability of post-1967 data with those for earlier
years in the following ways: (1) Increased the number of
persons working 1 to 34 hours a week and lowered the
number working 35 or more; (2) altered the distribution
of unemployment by sex; (3) increased the number of
workers on part time for economic reasons; and (4) reduced the number of workers unemployed 15 weeks or
more.
As a result of revisions in the occupational classification system for the 1970 Census of Population that
were introduced into the Current Population Survey in
January 1971, comparisons of employment and unemployment data by occupation before and after this
date are affected. 3 The extent of the break in series
varies considerably on a group-by-group basis but is
largest among the operative, nonfarm laborer, and service
worker occupations. Employment levels were affected
the most, unemployment levels were affected to a lesser
degree, and there was little or no change in unemployment rates.

2
A detailed discussion of the conceptual changes and their
effect on the various series may be found in the February 1967
Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor
Force and Concepts and Methods Used in Manpower Statistics

Changes in the Spendable Earnings Series:
The Effects of the 1971 Revenue Act
and Social Security Tax Changes
*By Paul A . Armknecht Jr.

The Revenue Act of 1971, which was signed into law
on December 10, 1971, contains retroactive tax reduction features that will affect individuals filing their
1971 tax returns. It also provides substantial reductions
in the tax burden on individuals for 1972. This paper
discusses the effect of these changes, as well as offsetting
increases in 1972 social security taxes, on the spendable
earnings series published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.*
The spendable earnings series is a measure of the
weekly pay available to wage earners after their Federal
income and social security tax requirements have been
met. Spendable earnings are computed from formulas
covering a wide range of weekly earnings of wage earners
who normally use the standard deduction allowable
under the income tax law, and are derived separately for
a worker with no dependents and a married worker with
three dependents who files a joint return.
The retroactive provisions of the 1971 tax law made
it necessary to revise the formulas used to approximate
the impact of Federal taxes and to recalculate the spendable earnings series for 1971. (This was also the case in
1968 when the Revenue and Expenditure Control Act
imposed a retroactive income surtax.) Revised spendable
earnings for January-September 1971 have been published in the January 1972 issue of Employment and
Earnings, p. 6.
Changes in the tax law require further changes in the
formulas for 1972. In addition, a scheduled increase in
the maximum earnings level for withholding social
security taxes affects the 1972 formulas. The spendable
earnings formulas for the period 1939—72 are shown on
pp. I5-I7 of this issue.
The two changes in the tax law which affected the
1971 spendable earnings formulas were the increase in
the personal exemption and the repeal of the phase-out
of the low-income allowance. The increase in the personal exemption from $650 to $675 automatically results in a weekly tax reduction of approximately 12




13

cents for the worker with no dependents and about 40
cents for the worker with three dependents.2
The low-income allowance, which was designed to
remove poverty-level taxpayers from the tax rolls, is
computed as the sum of a basic allowance and an additional allowance. The basic allowance consists of a $200
deduction plus $100 for each exemption. 3 The additional allowance is $850 minus $100 for each exemption.
As a result, the total allowance is a flat $1,050. Under
the 1970 Tax Reform Act, this allowance was then
reduced by a low-income phase-out. 4 The removal of
this phase-out results in substantial reductions of tax
liabilities for singie workers having weekly earnings
greater than $33.17 but less than $155.33 and for
workers with three dependents having weekly earnings
greater than $72.13 but less than $155.33. Earnings
below these minima are exempt from taxes; those above
the upper limit are not affected by the low-income
allowance.
* Of the Division of Industry Employment Statistics, Office
of Current Employment Analysis.
For a technical description of the calculation, uses, and
limitations of the spendable earnings series see: Utter, Carol M.
"The Spendable Earnings Series: A Technical Note on its Calculation," Employment and Earnings. February 1969; Schwab,
Paul M. "Two Measures of Purchasing Power Contrasted,"
Monthly Labor Review. April 1971; Alterman, Jack, "Compensation per Man-Hour and Take-Home Pay," Monthly Labor
Review. June 1971.
The tax reduction can be computed by multiplying the
increase in the exemption by the worker's highest tax rate. For
the single worker, the increase ($25 annually, or 48 cents weekly)
was multiplied by 24 percent. For the worker with three dependents, the increase ($100 annually, or $1.92 a week) was multiplied by 21 percent.
3
This basic allowance is equivalent to the old variable
minimum (depending on number of exemptions) standard
deduction.

Income tax reductions under the Revenue Act of 1971 and social security tax increases effective in 1972.
These earnings fall within the range where the increase in the social security tax in 1972 exceeds the decline in the income tax
for the single worker. Hence there is a slight increase in federal taxes for workers at this earnings level in 1972.

NOTE: Figures for periods prior to January 1972 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of 1970
Census data into the estimation procedures. For example, the civilian labor force and employment totals for January 1972 were increased by more than 300,000 by the census adjustment. For an explanation of the changes and an indication of the differences,
see "Revisions in the Current Population Survey" in the February 1972 issue of Employment and Earnings.

HOUSEHOLD DATA
SEASONALLY ADJUSTED

The seasonally adjusted series which follow cover 229 major
series on the labor force 16 years and over. They include employment status by sex and age, by color, sex, and age, by occupation, and by full- and part-time status; employment by major
industry group and class of worker; nonagricultural employment by
full- and part-time status; unemployment by duration and by
reason; and unemployment rates by marital status and by industry.
There are a large number of other seasonally adjusted series
which have not been included in this issue due to space limitations but which are available because they are either components
or aggregates of the series presented. These additional series
may be obtained from the BLS upon request.
The majority of these seasonally adjusted labor force series
are computed by a method of aggregation. The process begins with
the computation of seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted data
for approximately 140 basic labor force s e r i e s . These basic series are then aggregated according to a set of specifications to
yield other seasonally adjusted estimates. All civilian labor
force and unemployment rate s t a t i s t i c s , as well as the major employment and unemployment estimates, are computed by this method
of aggregation. Totals of one aggregation pattern ( e . g . , c i v i l ian labor force for persons 16 years and over aggregated by age
and sex) will not necessarily equal those of other patterns ( e . g . ,
civilian labor force 16 years and over aggregated by color, age,
and sex). Since the annual averages are also a product of the
aggregation procedures, they may differ in some instances from
those published elsewhere. A l i s t of the basic series which
are independently seasonally adjusted is available from the
Bureau of Labor S t a t i s t i c s .

Data based on household interviews are obtained from a
sample survey of the population 16 years of age and over. The
survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census
for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive
data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed,
including such characteristics as age, sex, color, marital status,
occupations, hours of work, and duration of unemployment.
The survey also provides data on the characteristics and past
work experience of those not in the labor force. The information
is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about
47,000 households, representing 461 areas in 923 counties and
independent cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District
of Columbia. The data collected are based on the activity or
status reported for the calendar week including the 12th of the
month.
Data based on establishment records are compiled each
month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The establishment
surveys are designed to provide detailed industry information
on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly
hours, average hourly and weekly earnings, job vacancies, and
labor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas.
The employment, hours, and earnings series are based on payroll
reports from a sample of establishments employing about 30
million nonagriculture wage and salary workers. The data relate
to all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the
payroll period which includes the 12th of the month. Based
on a somewhat smaller sample, labor turnover data relate to
actions occurring during the month while job vacancies pertain
to those outstanding at the end of the month.
Data based on administrative records of unemployment
insurance systems furnish a complete count of insured unemployment among the two-thirds of the Nation's labor force
covered by unemployment insurance programs. Weekly reports,
by State, are issued on the number of initial claims, the volume,
and rate of insured unemployment under State unemployment
insurance programs, and the volume under programs of unemployment compensation for Federal employees, ex-servicemen,
and railroad workers. These statistics are published by the
Manpower Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."
Relation between the household and
establishment series
The household and establishment data supplement one
another, each providing significant types of information that the
other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for
example, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived
only from establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each other because
of differences in definition and coverage, sources of information,
methods of collection, and estimating procedures. Sampling
variability and response errors are additional reasons for discrepancies. The major factors which have a differential effect
on levels and trends of the two series aro as follows:




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 survey
week in family-operated enterprises. Employment in both
agricultural and nonagricultural industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments.
Multiple jobhoiding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population without duplication
since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or not
in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job
are counted only once and are classified according to the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during the
survey week. In the figures based on establishment records,
persons who worked jn more than one establishment during
the reporting period are counted each time their names appear
on payrolls.
Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey includes
among the employed all persons who had jobs but were not at
work during the survey week—that is, were not working but
had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or
because they were taking time off for various other reasons,
even if they were not paid by their employers for the time off.
In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on leave paid for
by the company are included, but not those on leave without
pay for the entire payroll period.
For a comprehensive discussion of the differences between
household and establishment survey employment data, see
Gloria P. Green's article "Comparing employment estimates
from Household and payroll surveys," Monthly Labor Review,
December 1969. Reprints of this article are available upon
request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Hours of work
The household survey measures hours actually worked whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers. In
the household survey data, all persons with a job but not at work
are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations
of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned
the number of hours for which they were paid during the reporting period*

Comparability of the household interview
data with other series
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from
the household survey includes all persons who did not have a job
at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were
waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid
off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims,
prepared by the Manpower Administration of the Department
of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit

207

rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture. State and local government, domestic service, self-employment, unpaid family work,
nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment
compensation differ from the definition of unemployment used
in the household survey. For example, persons with a job but
not at work and persons working only a few hours during the
week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation
but are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the
household survey.
For an examination of the similarities and differences between State insured unemployment and total unemployment,
see "Measuring Total and State Insured Unemployment" by
Gloria P. Green in the June 1971 issue of the Monthly Labor
Review. Reprints of this article may be obtained upon request.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under 16 in the Statistical Research Service
(SRS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders who are
counted more than once if they worked on more than one
farm during the reporting period. There are also wide differences
in sampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods,
which cannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences in level and trend of the two series.

its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments arid the censuses of business establishments. The major
reasons for some noncomparability are different treatment of
business units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, the industrial
classification of establishments, and different reporting patterns
by multiunit companies. There are also differences in the scope
of the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Business excludes
professional services, public utilities, and financial establishments, whereas these are included in BLS statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business Patterns,
published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce and
Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establishment
statistics in the treatment of central administrative offices and
auxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrial
classification and reporting practices, In addition, CBP excludes
interstate railroads and government, and coverage is incomplete
for some of the nonprofit activities.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonagricultural wage and salary workers are
covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All workers
in certain activities, such as interstate railroads, are excluded. In
addition, small firms In covered industries are also excluded
in about half the States. In general, these are establishments
with less than four employees.

Additional information concerning the preparation of the
labor force, employment, hours, earnings, job vacancy,
and labor turnover series—concepts and scope, survey
methods, and limitations—is contained in technical
notes for each of these series, available from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics free of charge.

Labor Force Data

Collection and coverage
Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other characteristics of the
employed, the unemployed, and persons not in the labor
force, and related data are compiled for the BLS by the
Bureau of the Census in its Current Population Survey (CPS).
A detailed description of this survey appears in "Concepts and
Methods Used in Manpower Statistics from the Current Population Survey" (BLS Report 313). This report is available from
BLS on request.
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted
with a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the
civilian noninstitutional population 16 years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the
employment status of each member of the household 16 years
of age and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during
the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, which includes
the 12th of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual
field interviewing is conducted in the following week.




Inmates of institutions and persons under 16 years of age
are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are
excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown
in this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are
included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
Each month, 47,000 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 1,700 of these households are visited but
interviews are not obtained because the occupants are not
found at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other
reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of
about 4 percent.
In addition to the 47,000 occupied units,
there are about7,500sample units inan~average month which are
visited but found to be vacant or otherwise not to be
enumerated. Part of the sample is changed each month.
The rotation plan provides for three-fourths of the sample to
be common from one month to the next, and one-half to
be common with the same month a year ago.

Concepts
Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during the
survey week did any work at all as paid employees, in their
own business, profession, or farm, or who worked 15 hours
or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a
member of the family, and (b) all those who were not
working but who had jobs or businesses from which they were
termporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation,
labor-management dispute, or personal reasons, whether or not
they were paid by their employers for the time off, and whether
or not they were seeking other jobs.
Each employed person is counted only once. Those who
held more than one job are counted in the job at which they
worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not living on the
premises of an Embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work
around the house (such as own home housework, and painting
or repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.
Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did not work
during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job
within the past 4 weeks, and who were available for work during
the survey week (except for temporary illness). Also included as
unemployed are those who did not work at all, were available for
work, and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which
they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new
wage or salary job within 30 days.
Duration of unemployment represents the length of time
(through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work.
For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the
number of full weeks since the termination of their most recent
employment. A period of 2 weeks or more during which a person was employed or ceased looking for work is considered to
break the continuity of the present period of seeking work.
Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment are divided into four major groups. (1) Job losers are persons whose
employment ended involuntarily who immediately began looking
for work and persons on layoff. (2) Job leavers are persons who
quit or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily and
immediately began looking for work. (3) Reentrants are persons
who previously worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
longer but who were out of the labor force prior to beginning to
look for work. (4) New entrants are persons who never workfid
at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer.
The civilian labor force comprises the total of all civilians
classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the
criteria described above. The "total labor force" also includes
members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the United
States or abroad.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed
as a percent of the civilian labor force. This measure can also be
computed for groups within the labor force classified by sex, age,
marital status, color, etc. The job-loser, job-leaver, reentrant, and
new entrant rates are each calculated as a percent of the civilian
labor force; the sum of the rates for the four groups thus equals
the total unemployment rate.
Participation rates represent the proportion of the noninstitutional population that is in the labor force. Two types of participation rates are published: The total labor force participation




rate, which is the ratio of the total labor force and the total noninstitutional population, and the civilian labor force participation rate; which is the ratio of civilian labor force and civilian
noninstitutional population. Participation rates are1 usually published for sex-age groups, often cross-classified by other demographic characteristics such as color and educational attainment.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 years and over who
are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are
further classified as "engaged in own home housework," "in
school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or
mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes for the
most part retired persons, those reported as too old to work, the
voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the survey week
fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (less
than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous work experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for a job at the
time of interview, and reasons for not looking for work are compiled on a quarterly basis. As of January 1970, the detailed questions for persons not in the labor force are asked only in those
households that are in the fourth and eighth months of the sample, i.e., the "outgoing" groups, those which had been in the
sample for 3 previous months and would not be in for the subsequent month. Between 1967 and 1969, the detailed not-inlabor force questions were asked of persons in the first and fifth
months in the sample, i.e., the "incoming" groups.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the employed
apply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two or
more jobs are classified in the job at which they worked the
greatest number of hours during the survey week. The unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time civilian
job lasting 2 weeks or more. The occupation and industry groups
used in data derived from the CPS household interviews are defined as in the 1970 Census of Population. Information on the
detailed categories included in these groups is available upon
request.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salary
workers," subdivided into private and government workers, "selfemployed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage and
salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or pay in
kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit. Selfemployed persons are those who work for profit or fees in their
own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm. Unpaid
family workers are persons working without pay for 15 hours a
week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a member
of the household to whom they are related by blood or marriage.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number of hours
worked during the survey week. For example, a person who normally works 40 hours a week but who was off on the Veterans
Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even though
he was paid for the holiday.
For persons working in more than one job, the figures relate
to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job.
The distribution of employment by hours worked relate to
persons "at work" during the survey week. At-work data differ
from data on total employment because the latter include
persons in zero-hours worked category, "with a job but not at
work." Included in this latter group are persons who were on
vacation, ill, involved in a labor dispute, or otherwise absent
from their jobs for voluntary, noneconomic reasons.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey week are
designated as working "full time," persons who worked between

209

dence categories are the central cities, and the urban and the rural
balance of the SMSA's. For other sample areas, the residence
categories are urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm. The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5 percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, from
that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics as age,
color, sex, and residence. Since these population characteristics
are closely correlated with labor force participation and other
principal measurements made from the sample, the latter estimates can be substantially improved when weighted appropriately by the known distribution of these population characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of ratio estimates as follows:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is a procedure in which the
sample proportions are weighted by the known 1970 Census data
on the color-residence distribution of the population. This step
takes into account the differences existing at the time of the
1970 Census between the color-residence distribution for the
Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the sample proportions are weighted by independent current estimates of the
population by age, sex, and color. These estimates are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data (1970) to
take account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality,
and migration between the United States and other countries.

1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part tirtie." Part-time
workers are classified by their usual status at their present job
(either full time or part time) and by their reason for working
part time during the survey week (economic or other reasons).
"Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job during
the week, and inability to find full-time work. "Other reasons"
include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for full-time work,
and full-time worker only during oeak season. Persons on fulltime schedules include, in addition to those working 35 hours or
more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomic
reasons and usually work full time.
Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor force consists of persons working on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily working part time (because full-time work is not available),
and unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The part-time
labor force consists of persons working part time voluntarily and
unemployed persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job
but not at work during the survey week are classified according
to whether they usually work full or part time.
Labor force time lost is a measure of man-hours lost to the
economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed as a percent of potentially available
man-hours. It is computed by assuming: (1) That unemployed
persons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours,
(2) that those looking for part-time work lost the average number of hours actually worked by voluntary part-time workers
during the survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5 hours and the
actual number of hours they worked.
White and Negro and other races are terms used to describe
the color or race of workers. The Negro and other races category,
which had formerly been identified as "Nonwhite," includes all
persons who are observed in the enumeration process to be other
than white. At the time of the 1960 Census of Population, approximately 92 percent of the Negro and other races population
group were Negro; the remainder were American Indians,
Eskimos, Orientials, and other nonwhites. Tables in this volume
which contain these data utilize the word "color" to so indicate.
Major activity: going to school and major activity: other
are terms used to describe whether the activity of young persons
during the reference week was primarily one of going to school
or not. Statistics on major activities are published every month in
table A-5 for 16-21 year-o*ds by employment status, color, sex,
and, if unemployed, whether seeking full- or part-time work.

ESTIMATING METHODS
Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of the results for a given month become available simultaneously and
are based on returns from the entire panel of respondents. There
are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark data
on labor force, employment, or unemployment. Therefore, revisions of the historical data are not an inherent feature of this
statistical program.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed
households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for occupied sample households for which no information was obtained
because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or unavailability
of the respondent for other reasons. This adjustment is made
separately by combinations of sample areas and, within these, for
six groups—two race categories (white, and Negro and other
races) within three residence categories. For sample areas which
are standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's), these resi-




3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a
given month, a composite estimating procedure is used which
takes account of net changes from the previous month for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces the sampling
variability of month-to-month changes especially and of the
levels for most items also.

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. Differences,
however, are insignificant.

Reliability of the estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may differ
from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possible
to take a complete census using the same schedules and
procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that
is, the variations that might occur by chance because only a
sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are about 2
out of 3 that an estimate.from the sample would differ from a
complete census by less than the standard error. The chances are
about 19 Out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice
the standard error.
Table A shows the average standard error for the major employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for past
months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are also
subject to sampling variability. The standard error of change for
consecutive months is also shown in table A. The standard errors
of level shown in table A are acceptable approximations of the
standard errors of year-to-year change.
The figures presented in table B are to be used for other
characteristics and are approximations of the standard errors of
all such characteristics. They should be interpreted as providing
an indication of the order of magnitude of the standard errors
rather than as the precise standard error for any specific item.

210

as presented in table C, it is first necessary to obtain the standard
error of the monthly level of the item in table B, and then find
the standard error of the month-to-month change in table C
corresponding to this standard error of level. It should be
noted that table C applies to estimates of change between 2
consecutive months. For changes between the current month
and the same month last year, the standard errors of level shown
in table B are acceptable approximations.
Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total number
of persons working a specific number of hours as 15,000,000, an
increase of 500,000 Over the previous month. Linear interpolation in the first column of table B shows that the standard error
of 15,000,000 is about 133,000. Consequently, the chances are
about 68 out of 100 that the sample estimate differs by less than
133,000 from the figure which would have been obtained from
a complete count of the number of persons working the given
number of hours. Using the 133,000 as the standard error of the
monthly level in table C, it may be seen that the standard error

The standard error of the change in an item from one month
to the next month is more closely related to the standard error
of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the specific

The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed by
using sample data for both numerator and denominator, depends
upon both the size of the percentage and the size of the total
upon which the percentage is based. Where the numerator is a
subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are relatively
more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates of the
numerator of the percentage, particularly if the percentage is
large (50 percent or greater). Table D shows the standard errors
for percentages derived from the survey. Linear interpolation may
be used for percentages and base figures not shown \n table D.

Establishment Data
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage and
salary employment, hours, earnings, job vacancies, and labor
turnover in nonagricultural establishments, by industry and
geographic location.

All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings,
job vacancy, and labor turnover series are classified in accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau
of the Budget, 1967.

Industry employment
Federal-State cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, the
respondent fills out a single employment or job vacancy-labor
turnover reporting form, which is then used for national, State,
and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the
part of respondents and, together with the use of identical
techniques at the national and State levels, insures maximum
comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments and
examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare State
and area series and then send the establishment data to the
BLS for use in preparing the national series.

Shuttle schedules
Two types of data collection schedules are used: Form BLS
790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours;
and Form DL 1219—Monthly Report on Job Openings and
Labor Turnover. These schedules are of the "shuttle" type,
with space for each month of the calendar year. The collecting
agency returns the schedule to the respondent each month so
that the next month's data can be entered. This procedure
assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting,
since the respondent can see the figures he has reported for
previous months.
Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number
of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments and, for most industries, payroll and manhours of production and related workers or nonsupervisory
workers for the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. Form D L 1219 provides for the collection of information on the total number of accessions and separations,
by type, during the calendar month, and three job vacancy
items as of the end of the month: Current job vacancies,
(i.e., vacancies available for immediate filling), current vacancies which have remained unfilled for 30 days or more, and
openings with future starting dates.

CONCEPTS
Industrial classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and Form
DL 1219 are classified into industries on the basis of their
principal product or activity determined from information on
annual sales volume. This information is collected each year on a
supplement to the monthly 790 or 1219 report. For an
establishment making more than one product or engaging
in more than one activity, the entire employment of the
establishment is included under the industry indicated by the
most important product or activity.




212

Employment data, except those for the Federal Government,
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. For Federal Government establishments, employment
figures represent the number of persons who occupied positions
on the last day of the calendar month. Intermittent workers are
counted if they performed any service during the month.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid
volunteer or family workers, farm workers, and domestic
workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations are
included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; military personnel are excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sick
leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), on paid
holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the
pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the rest
of the period, are counted as employed. Not counted as
employed are persons who are laid off, on leave without
pay, or on strike for the entire period or who are hired but
have not reported to work during the period.

Industry hours and earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payrolls
and man-hours for production and related workers in manufacturing and mining, construction workers in contract construction, and nonsupervisory employees in the remaining private
nonagricultural components. For Federal Government, hours
and earnings relate to all employees, both supervisory and nonsupervisory. Terms are defined below. When the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weekly
basis.
Production and related workers include working foreman
and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees)
engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services, product
development, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g.,
power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees in
the contract construction division: Working foremen, journeymen, mechanic's apprentices, laborers, etc., whether working
at the site of construction or in shops or yards, at jobs (such as
precutting and preassembling) ordinarily performed by members of the construction trades.
Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not above
the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social workers, research aids, teachers, draftsmen, photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant workers, custodial workers, attendants, linemen, laborers,

janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and other
employees whose services are closely associated with those of
the employees listed.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received
pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th
of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions of
any kind, e.g., for old-age and unemployment insurance,
group insurance, withholding tax, bonds, or union dues; also
included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick
leave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and
paid regularly each pay period), other pay not earned in
pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), tips, and the
value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are
excluded. "Fringe benefits" (such as health and other types
of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc. paid by the
employer) are also excluded.
Man-hours cover man-hours paid for, during the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month, for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers. The man-hours include
hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when
pay is received directly from the firm.
Overtime hours cover hours worked by production or related workers for which overtime premiums were paid because
the hours were in excess of the number of hours of either the
straight-time workday or the workweek during the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month. Weekend and holiday
hours are included only if overtime premiums were paid.
Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or
other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.

Gross average hourly and weekly earnings
Average hourly earnings are on a "gross" basis, reflecting
not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates but
also such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and
late-shift work and changes in output of workers paid on an
incentive plan. Shifts in the volume of employment between
relatively high-paid and low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individual
industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period
of time; rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit of
work or time. The earnings series does not measure the level
of total labor costs on the part of the employer since the
following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive items,
payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by
employers, and earnings for those employees not covered
under the production-worker, construction-worker, or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying
average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore,
weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross
average hourly earnings but also by changes in the length of
the workweek. Monthly variations in such factors as proportion of part-time workers, stoppages for varying causes,
labor turnover during the survey period, and absenteeism for
which employees are not paid may cause the average workweek to fluctuate.
Long-term trends of gross average weekly earnings can be
affected by structural changes in the makeup of the work force.




213

For example, persistent long-term increases in the proportion
of part-time workers in retail trade and many of the service
industries has reduced average workweeks in these industries and
has affected the average weekly earnings series.

Average weekly hours
The workweek information relates to the average hours
for which pay was received and is different from standard or
scheduled hours. Such factors as unpaid absenteeism, labor
turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly
hours to be lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component industries.

Average overtime hours
The overtime hours represent the portion of the gross
average weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours
and for which overtime premiums were paid. If an employee
worked on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total
compensation his holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours
worked that day, no overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily
move in the same direction from month-to-month; for example, overtime premiums may be paid for hours in excess
of the straight-time workday although less than a full week
is worked. Diverse trends at the industry-group level also
may be caused by a marked change in gross hours for a component industry where little or no overtime was worked in
both the previous and current months. In addition, such
factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may
not have the same influence on overtime hours as on gross
hours.

Hours and earnings for total private
nonagricultural industries
This series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions except government. The principal source of payroll data is Form
BLS 790. Secondary source material such as Employment and
Wages (Manpower Administration), County Business Patterns
(Bureau of the Census), and additional supporting information
such as The Hospital Guide, Part I I , of the American Hospital
Association and special studies by the National Council of
Churches supplement data for certain industry groups within the
service division.
For a technical description of this series, see the article,
"Hours and Earnings for Workers in Private Nonagricultural Industries," published in the May 1967 issue of Employment and
Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force.

Railroad hours and earnings
The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in the
M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate
to all employees except executives, officials, and staff assistants
(ICC group I) who received pay during the month. Gross average
hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensation by
total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by

dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly
basis, by the number of employees, as defined above. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly
hours by average hourly earnings.

worker or nonsupervisory worker employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of man-hour aggregates and
average hourly earnings. At all higher levels of aggregation,
man-hour and payroll aggregates are the sum of the component aggregates.

Spendable average weekly earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security and income taxes from average weekly earnings. The amount of income tax liability depends on the number of dependents
supported by the worker and his marital status, as well as on the
level of his gross income. To reflect these variables, spendable
earnings are computed for a worker with no dependents and a
married worker with three dependents. The computations are
based on gross average weekly earnings for all production or
nonsupervisory workers in the industry division excluding other
income and income earned by other family members.
The series reflects the spendable earnings of only those workers, with either none or three dependents, whose gross weekly
pay approximates the average earnings indicated for all production and nonsupervisory workers. It does not reflect, for example, the average earnings of all workers with three dependents;
such workers, in fact have higher gross average earnings than
workers with no dependents.
Since part-time as well as full-time workers are included,
and since the proportion of part-time workers has been rising,
the series understates the increase in earnings for full-time workers. As noted, "fringe benefits" are not included in the earnings.
For a more complete discussion of the uses and limitations of
these series, see the article by Paul M. Schwab, "Two Measures
of Purchasing Power Contrasted," in the Monthly Labor Review
for April 1971. Reprints of this article are available from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the current
month. This is done for gross average weekly earnings and for
spendable average weekly earnings. The level of earnings is thus
adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base period
(1967).

Average hourly earnings excluding overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay are
computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for
the industry group by the sum of total production-worker manhours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January
1956, these data were based on the application of adjustment
factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described in the
Monthly ^abor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at V/2 times
the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday work, late-shiftwork
and overtime rates other than time and one-half.

Indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls
and man-hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours are
prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1967 period. The man-hour aggregates are the product of average weekly hours and production-

Labor turnover
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and salary
workers into and out of employed status with respect to individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a calendar month, is divided into two broad types: Accessions (new
hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a
rate per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees,
whether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including
executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers. Transfers to another establishment of the company are included, beginning with January 1959.
Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary
additions to the employment roll, including both new and rehired employees.
New hires are temporary or permanent additions to the
employment roll of persons who have never before been employed in the establishment (except employees transferring from
another establishment of the same company) or of former employees not recalled by the employer.
Other accessions, which are not published separately but are
included in total accessions, are all additions to the employment
roll which are not classified as new hires, including transfers
from other establishments of the company and employees
recalled from layoff.
Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits, layoffs, and other separations, are defined as follows:
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized absences, if on the last day of the month the person has been absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to
last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately but are
included in total separations, are terminations of employment
because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement,
transfers to another establishment of the company, and entrance
into the Armed Forces for a period expected to last more than
30 consecutive calendar days.

Relationship of labor turnover to
employment series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employment
series for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separations
are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month; and (2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover
actions although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates if the work stoppage extends through the report
period.

Job vacancies
Job vacancies are the stock of unfilled job openings as of the
close of the last business day of the reference month. Openings
for all kinds of positions, classifications and employment, full
time, part time, permanent, temporary, and seasonal are included. Excluded are jobs to be filled by recall from layoff,
transfer, promotion, demotion or return from paid or unpaid
leave; jobs unoccupied because of labor-management disputes;
job openings for which "new" workers were already hired and
scheduled to start work later; and openings with future starting
dates, which are requested as a separate item.
Job vacancies are defined as vacant jobs which are immediately available for filling, and for which the firm is actively trying to find or recruit workers from outside the firm.
"Actively trying to find or recruit" means that the establishment is engaged in current efforts to fill the job vacancies by
means of orders listed with public or private employment agencies and school placement offices; notification to labor unions
and professional organizations; "help wanted" advertising (newspaper, posted notice, etc.) recruitment programs; and interview
and selection of applicants.
Long-term job vacancies are those current vacancies which
have continued unfilled for 30 days or more.
The reporting establishment is also asked to indicate the
number of openings with future starting dates for which the firm
is actively trying to recruit workers from outside the firm.
Job openings with future starting dates may exist for such
reasons as: Job unavailable until expected separation of present
incumbent occurs; work will not start until some future date;
new branch to be opened in the future; or anticipated increase in
business.
The job vacancy rate is computed by dividing the number of
current job vacancies by the sum of employment plus vacancies,
and multiplying that quotient by 100.
Occupational classifications are made in accordance with
those established in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, Third
Edition, U.S. Department of Labor, 1965.

ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the use of the "link
relative" technique, which is a form of ratio estimation, (2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and
(3) the use of size and regional stratification.

The "link relative" technique
From a sample composed of establishments reporting for
both the previous and current months, the ratio of current
month employment to that of the previous month is computed.
This is called a link relative. The estimates of employment (all
employees, including production and nonproduction workers together) for the current month are obtained by multiplying the
estimates for the previous month by these "link relatives." In
addition, small bias correction factors are applied to selected employment estimates each month. The size of the bias correction
factors is determined from past experience. Other features of the
general procedures are described later in table L, Summary of
methods for computing industry statistics on employment,
hours, earnings, job vacancies, and labor turnover. Further
details are given in the technical notes—Chapter 2, Employment, Hours and Earnings, and Chapter 3, Labor Turnover,




reprinted from the Handbook of Methods for Surveys and
Studies, BLS Bulletin 1458—which are available upon request.

Size and regional stratification
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight the hours and earnings into broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the
term is used in the summary of computational methods, may be
a whole industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size
stratum of a region within an industry.

Benchmark adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically with comprehensive counts of employment which provide "benchmarks"
for the various nonagriculturai industries, and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The industry estimates are
currently projected from March 1970 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made annually.
The primary sources of benchmark information are employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by State agencies
from reports of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, covering three-fourths of
the total nonagriculturai employment in the United States, are
prepared under the direction of the Manpower Administration.
Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and a number of other agencies in private industry
or government.
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one, and
the new benchmark for each industry is then carried forward
progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.
Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment; the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level. A comparison of the actual
amounts of revisions made in the last 3 benchmark years is
shown in table E.

Data for all months since the last benchmark to which the

of the data with a convenient reference source for the revised
data, the BLS publishes as soon as possible after each benchmark revision a summary volume of employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics.

THE SAMPLE
Design
The sampling plan used in the current employment statistics
program is known as "sampling proportionate to average size of
establishment." This design is an optimum allocation design
among strata since the sampling variance is proportional to the
average size of establishments. The universe of establishments is
stratified first by industry and then within each industry by size
of establishment in terms of employment. For each industry, the
number of sample units is distributed among the size class cells
on the basis of average employment per establishment in each
cell. In practice, this is equivalent to distributing the predetermined total number of establishments required in the sample
among the cells on the basis of the ratio of employment in each
cell to total employment in the industry. Within each noncertainty stratum the sample members are selected at random.
Under this type of design, large establishments fall into the
sample with certainty. The size of the sample for the various
industries is determined empirically on the basis of experience
and of cost considerations. In a manufacturing industry in
which a high proportion of total employment is concentrated
in relatively few establishments, a large percentage of total employment is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample
design for such industries provides for a complete census of the
large establishments with only a few chosen from among the
smaller establishments or none at all if the concentration of employment is great enough. On the other hand, in an industry in
which a large proportion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all large establishments and also for a substantial number of the small ones.
Many industries in the trade and services divisions fall into this
category. To keep the sample to a size which can be handled by
available resources, it is necessary to accept samples in these
divisions with a smaller proportion of universe employment than
is the case for most manufacturing industries. Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show
less fluctuation from regular cyclical or seasonal patterns than establishments in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples
(in terms of employment) generally produce reliable estimates.
In the context of the BLS employment and job vacancylabor turnover statistics programs, with their emphasis on producing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be obtained
which will provide coverage of a sufficiently large segment of the
universe to provide reasonably reliable estimates that can be
published promptly and regularly. The present sample meets
these specification for most industries. With its use, the BLS is
able to produce preliminary estimates each month for many industries and for many geographic levels within a few weeks after
reports are mailed by respondents, and at a somewhat later date,
statistics in considerably greater industrial detail.

and earnings estimated, however, are subject to sampling errors
which may be expressed as relative errors of the estimates. (A
relative error is a standard error expressed as a percent of the
estimate.) Relative errors for major industries are presented
in table H and for individual industries with the specified number of employees in table I. The chances are about 2 out of 3
that the hours and earnings estimates from the sample would
differ by a smaller percentage than the relative error from the
averages that would have been obtained from a complete census.
One measure of the reliability of the employment estimates for
individual industries is the root-mean-square error (RMSE). The
measure is the standard deviation adjusted for the bias in estimates

Reliability of the employment estimates
Although the relatively large size of the BLS establishment
sample assures a high degree of accuracy, the estimates derived
from it may differ from the figures that would be obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules
and procedures. As discussed under the previous section, a link
relative technique is used to estimate employment. This requires
the use of the previous month's estimate as the base in computing the current month's estimate. Thus, small sampling and response errors may cumulate over several months. To remove this
accumulated error, the estimates are adjusted annually to new
benchmarks. In addition to taking account of sampling and
response errors, the benchmark revision adjusts the estimates
for changes in the industrial classification of individual establishments (resulting from changes in their product which are
not reflected in the levels of estimates until the data are adjusted
to new benchmarks). In fact, at the more detailed industry
levels, particularly within manufacturing, changes in classification are the major cause of benchmark adjustments. Another
cause of differences, generally minor, arises from improvements
in the quality of the benchmark data. Table H presents the average percent revisions of the six most recent benchmarks for major
industry divisions. Detailed descriptions of individual benchmark revisions are available from the Bureau upon request.

(RMSE=\/(Standard Deviation) 2 + (Bias) 2 ) .
If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from its benchmark by less
than the root-mean-square error. The chances are about 19 out
of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the root-meansquare error.

Reliability of job vacancy estimates
As with the employment estimates, the estimates derived
from the job vacancy survey may differ from the figures that
would have been obtained if it were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
Measures of reliability for the job vacancy estimates are
given by the relative errors in table K. The chances are
about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ
from a complete census by a smaller percentage than the relative
error. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference
would be a smaller percentage than twice the relative error.

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS

1

State and area employment, hours, earnings, job vacancy,
and labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State
agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics relate
to metropolitan areas. Definitions for all areas are published
each year in the issue of Employment and Earnings that contains State and area annual averages (usually the May issue).
Changes in defintions are noted as they occur. Additional industry detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed
on the inside back cover of each issue. These statistics are based
on the same establishment reports used by BLS for preparing
national estimates. For employment, the sum of the State fig-

.

ures may differ slightly from the equivalent official U.S. totals
on a national basis, because some States have more recent
benchmarks than others and because of the effects of differing
industrial and geographic stratification.
For the States and the areas shown in the B and C sections
of this periodical, all the annual average data for the detailed
industry statistics currently published by each cooperating
State agency are presented (from the earliest date of availability
of each series) in a summary volume published annually by the
BLS.

Unemployment Insurance Data
Insured unemployment represents the number of persons
reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment insurance program. It includes some persons who are working part
time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and
household surveys. Excluded are persons who have exhausted
their benefit rights and workers who have not earned rights to
unemployment insurance. In general, excluded from coverage
are those persons who worked in firms whose size excluded
them from the unemployment insurance laws, as well as many
persons engaged in agriculture, domestic service, unpaid family
work, selected nonprofit organizations, State and local government and self-employment. Also excluded from the insured unemployment count, but included as employed in the household
survey, are those persons who earned no wages during the payroll period because they were temporarily absent from their jobs
due to taking time off, illness and industrial dispute as well as




unpaid vacations. The rate of insured unemployment is the
number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent of average covered employment in a 12-month period ending 6 to 8
months prior to the week of reference. Initial claims are notices
filed by those losing jobs covered by an unemployment insurance program that they are starting a period of unemployment.
A claimant who continues to be unemployed a full week is then
counted in the insured unemployment figure.
Because of differences in State laws and procedures under
which unemployment insurance programs are operated, State unemployment rates generally indicate, but do not precisely meaure, differences among the individual States. Persons wishing to
receive a detailed description of the nature, sources, inclusions
and exclusions, and limitations of unemployment insurance data
should address their inquiries to Manpower Administration,

Seasonal Adjustments
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTS
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be estimated on the basis of past
experience. By eliminating that part of the change which can
be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observe the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the
series. However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal
pattern—that is, changes in a seasonally adjusted series—it is important to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an
approximation based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted
estimates have a broader margin of possible error than the
original data on which they are based, since they are subject
not only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are
affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor force
and establishment data are published regularly in Employment
and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these series
is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method,
with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to take
account of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description
of the method is given in the booklet, The BLS Seasonal
Factor Method (1966), which may be obtained from the
Bureau on request.
For establishment data, the seasonally adjusted series on
hours, hourly earnings, and labor turnover rates for industry
groupings are computed by applying factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series. However, seasonally adjusted
employment totals for all employees and production workers
by industry division are obtained by summing seasonally adjusted data for the component industries. Indexes of aggregate
weekly man-hours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by multiplying average weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production
or nonsupervisory workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing
by the 1967 base. For total private, total goods producing,
total private service producing, trade, manufacturing, and
durable and nondurable goods the indexes of aggregate weekly
man-hours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the
aggregate weekly man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate component industries and dividing by the 1967 base.

The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal
Government are based on a series which excludes the Christmas
temporary help employed by the Postal Service in December.
The employment of these workers constitutes the only significant seasonal change in Federal Government employment
during the winter months. Furthermore, the volume of such
employment may change substantially from year to year because
of administrative decisions by the Postal Service. Hence, it was
considered desirable to exclude this group from the data upon
which the seasonally adjusted series is based.
The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishment
data reflect experience through May 1971.
Seasonal factors
to be used for current adjustment are shown in the September
1971 Employment and Earnings, and revisions will be made
coincidental with the adjustment of series to new benchmark
levels.
For each of the three major labor force components—agricultural and nonagricultural employment and unemployment—
data for four age-sex groups (male and female workers under age
20 and age 20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In order to produce seasonally adjusted total employment
and civilian labor force data, the appropriate series are aggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived
by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex components)
by the figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the
sum of twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data are
based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors are
revised in the light of the pattern revealed by subsequent data.
Revised seasonally adjusted .series for major components of the
labor force based on data through December 1971 are published
in the February 1972 Employment and Earnings. Revisions will
be made annually as each additional year's data become available.
The seasonal adjustment method used by BLS requires the
use of at least 8 years of data, although there are special adjustment programs for as few as 3 years. Since collection of
job vacancy information was begun in January 1969, the data
necessary to seasonally adjust this series are not yet available. All
job vacancy information published in Employment and Earnings
is, therefore, on an unadjusted basis.

ATTENTION
As discussed in the Technical Note, the Bureau periodically
adjusts the industry employment series to a recent benchmark
to improve their accuracy. These adjustments may also affect
the hours, earnings, job vacancy, and labor turnover series because employment levels are used as weights. Industry data for
all national series shown in this report have been adjusted to
March 1970 benchmarks. Data from April 1970 forward are
subject to revision at the time of the next benchmark.
Beginning with the September 1971 and subsequent issues of
Employment and Earnings, the national data in Sections, B, C,




219

and D supersede those published in previous issues, as well as
those appearing in the Handbook of Labor Statistics, 1971.
Comparable data will be published in Employment and Earnings,
United States, 1909-71, BLS Bulletin 1312-8.
Beginning with the February 1972 issue of Employment and
Earnings the national job vacancy data prior to the final estimate
for July 1971 have been revised to reflect current benchmark
levels and supercede the data published earlier in tables E-1, E-2,
and E-3.
