Employment and Unemployment Developments,
January 1974
Unemployment rose in January, and the number of
jobs on nonfarm payrolls declined. The unemployment
rate increased to 5.2 percent from a revised December
rate of 4.8 percent.
Nonfarm payroll employment (as measured by the
establishment survey), which had exhibited exceptional
growth during much of 1973, leveled off in December
1973 and dropped by 260,000 in January 1974. This
decline was caused, to some degree, by actual or anticipated shortages of gasoline and other petroleum products. Preliminary information intended to provide estimates of employment reductions that resulted directly
from shortages of fuel or power and shortages of other
materials arising from energy shortages suggest that the
number of jobs eliminated in the past several months
was substantial. Examples of such industries are gasoline
stations and air transportation. In addition, employment
declined in industries where demand levels were changing,
at least partly, because of actual or anticipated shortages
of fuels. Examples of such industries are automobile
manufacturing, automobile sales, and hotels and motels.
For the present, reporting is not yet adequate to permit
quantitive estimates.
Total employment (as measured by the household
survey) has shown little change for the past 3 months,
following substantial gains during most of 1973.

Unemployment
The number of persons unemployed increased by
almost 370,000 in January to a total of 4.7 million,
seasonally adjusted. This raised the unemployment rate
to 5.2 percent from 4.8 percent in December and from
4.6 percent in October. The rate had been 5.0 percent in
January a year ago.
The January rise in joblessness ocurred largely among
young adults and teenagers. The unemployment rate for
20-24 year-olds rose from 7.7 to 8.5 percent, returning
to the level that had prevailed in late 1972. The teenage jobless rate increased from 14.4 to 15.6 percent
in January, after hovering near the 14-percent mark
throughout the second half of last year. For women 25




and over, the unemployment rate of 4.2 percent was
unchanged from the previous month but has increased
from its recent low point of 3.8 percent posted in
October 1973. The jobless rate for men 25 and over rose
from 2.4 to 2.7 percent in January.
Unemployment rates for household heads (males and
females combined) and married men, at 3.0 and 2.3 percent respectively, were little changed from December.
However, both rates have risen from the lows reached
in the second half of 1973 and were at or about their
year-ago levels.
The unemployment rate for workers covered by
State unemployment insurance programs rose from 2.7
(as revised) in December to 2.9 percent in January,
moving out of the narrow 2.6-2.7 percent range that had
prevailed since April of last year.
The unemployment rate for white workers rose from
4.4 to 4.7 percent in January, while the rate for Negro
workers increased from 8.6 to 9.4 percent; both increases primarily reflected a deterioration in the job
situation for adult males. The unemployment rate for
each of these groups was at its highest point in more
than a year.
The January increase in joblessness occurred among
both full- and part-time jobseekers. After reaching a low
of 4.1 percent last October, the full-time rate has risen
to 4.7 percent, a return to its level of late 1972 and early
1973. The rate for part-time workers rose from 7.5 to
8.2 percent over the month.
Blue-collar workers, whose unemployment rate rose
from 5.2 to 6.0 percent, accounted for the bulk of the
January increase in joblessness. Sizeable increases in unemployment occurred both among craft workers and
operatives. (The latter occupation includes a large number of automobile assembly-line workers.) Among the
major industry groups, the rise in unemployment was
confined largely to manufacturing workers. Principally as
a reflection of recent layoffs in the automobile industry,
the jobless rate for workers in durable goods industries
rose from 3.9 to 5.0 percent from December to January.
The unemployment rate of Vietnam-era veterans
20 to 34 years of age rose nearly 1 percentage point

utilities (after settlement of an airline strike) and in
State and local government.
Despite the turn of events in the last 2 months, nonagricultural payroll employment in January was still
2.1 million above its year-ago level, reflecting the strong
growth posted throughout most of 1973.

to 5.2 percent in January. Nearly all of the increase
was among the more recently discharged veterans (2024 years), whose employment rate jumped from 7.5 to
10.6 percent. Their rate—the highest in more than a
year—was again well above that of the young nonveterans (7.2 percent) after 2 months of little difference.
There was little change over the month in the jobless
rates for veterans 25 to 29 (3.6 percent) and 30 to 34
(3.1 percent), nor were these rates essentially different
from those of their nonveteran counterparts.
The increase in total unemployment took place
largely among persons who had lost their last job—the
number of job losers increased by 250,000 to a level of
2.0 million. Since reaching a low of 1.5 million in
October of last year, the number of unemployed job
losers has risen by almost 550,000, and now accounts
for more than two-fifths of total unemployment.
The average duration of unemployment was little
changed in January at 9.4 weeks. Since January a year
ago, however, the average duration of unemployment has
fallen by one and a half weeks.

Hours of work

The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory personnel fell more than usual between December
and January, according to preliminary estimates. After
seasonal adjustment, the workweek declined by 0.4 hour
to 36.6 hours, the shortest workweek that has been
recorded since the series began on a monthly basis in
1964. In manufacturing, the average workweek dropped
0.8 hour to 39.9 hours—the shortest in more than 2
years—and overtime fell by 0.4 hour to 3.3 hours.
Within manufacturing, weekly hours in transportation
equipment; stone, clay, and glass products; and primary
metal industries posted the largest monthly declines.

Civilian labor force and total employment

Hourly and weekly earnings

The civilian labor force increased by more than
500,000 in January, to a seasonally adjusted level of
90.5 million. Since January 1973, the civilian labor
force has risen by 3.3 million.
Total employment, at 85.8 million, was about unchanged for the third straight month. Over the past
12 months, employment has risen by 3.0 million, with
adult men accounting for nearly 1.2 million of this expansion, adult women a like amount, and teenagers
640,000.

Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on nonagricultural payrolls were unchanged in January. Since January a year ago, hourly
earnings have risen by 6.6 percent. Weekly earnings
dropped 1.1 percent from December to January (seasonally adjusted) but have advanced by 5.8 percent from
their year-earlier level.
Before adjustment for seasonality, average hourly earning increased by 1 cent in January to $4.02. Since January 1973, hourly earnings have risen by 25 cents. Weekly
earnings averaged $145.93 in January, down $3.24 from
December but $7.95 above a year earlier.

Industry payroll employment

According to preliminary data from the establishment survey, the number of nonagricultural payroll
jobs declined by 260,000 in January to 76.4 million
(seasonally adjusted). Manufacturing jobs were down
125,000 in January, with the losses concentrated in
the production of durable goods. Hard hit were transportation equipment, particularly automobiles, and primary metals and machinery. Retail trade declined for
the second month, despite the return to work of striking
grocery workers. In addition, employment in contract
construction, which had increased slightly in December,
dropped by 130,000 in January.
Partly offsetting these declines were employment increases of about 25,000 each in transportation and public




Hourly earnings index

The Hourly Earnings Index—earnings adjusted for
overtime in manufacturing, seasonality, and the effects
of changes in the proportion of workers in high-wage and
low-wage industries—was 151.8 (1967=100) in January,
0.4 percent higher than in December. The index was 6.7
percent above January a year ago. All industries recorded
gains over the past 12 months, ranging from 4.5 percent
in contract construction to 8.0 percent in mining. During
the 12-month period ended in December, the Hourly
Earnings Index in dollars of constant purchasing power
declined 2.0 percent.

CPS Population Controls Derived from
Inflation-Deflation Method of Estimation
As a final step in preparing the monthly labor force
estimates, the data collected in the Current Population
Survey (CPS) are adjusted to independent estimates of
the population, by color, sex, and age. These independent
estimates are prepared by the Census Bureau. Beginning
in January 1974, the methods used in preparing independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population
have been modified.
In its simplest terms, the method of deriving the population "controls" starts with the most recent census data
and modifies it to take into account subsequent births,
deaths, aging of the population, and the migration between the United States and other countries. Research
has shown that the Census suffers some undercount. For
various reasons, not all persons are counted, and this
understatement varies by age. In the method used before
January 1974, the absolute amount of any undercount
in the census followed an age cohort (group born in the
same year) throughout the decade. For example, if Negro
females 9 years of age were undercounted by 20,413 in
1970, Negro females 10 years of age would be understated
by about the same amount in 1971, etc. This procedure
distorts the actual change in the population in the same
age group, since the undercount varies for different age
groups.
The new procedure is called the "inflation-deflation"
method. In this procedure, the April 1 , 1970, Census
population figure for a given color-sex-age group is "inflated" to include the estimated net census undercount
for that group and the resulting adjusted census figure
is carried forward to each subsequent month and later
age by adding births, subtracting deaths, and adding net
migration. Finally, the current population estimates are




"deflated" to reflect the estimated rates of net undercount in the most recent census for the ages at the estimated date, by color, sex, and age. In this way, the percent of net undercount in the census for any given single
year of age would be preserved throughout the decade.
Thus, if white males 20 years of age were undercounted
by 1 percent in the last decennial census, the population
estimate for 20-year-old white males would be understated by 1 percent until the next census. This inflationdeflation procedure has been used by the Bureau of the
Census in making intercensal estimates for each decade
since 1940 but has not previously been used for making
postcensal estimates.
As the accompanying tables indicate, this change in
derivation of the population estimates has a minor effect
on overall levels for January 1974. However, as would be
expected, the greatest effect is on those age groups with
relatively different undercounts in adjacent age groups,
especially males 20-24 years of age and, in particular,
males of Negro-and-other-races 20-24 years of age. For
example, for January 1974, the new method reduces the
estimated number of males 20-24 in the civilian noninstitutional population from 8,471,000 to 8,307,000 and
the estimated number of 20-24 males in the Negro-andother-races group from 1,102,000 to 1,045,000. Offsetting changes occur in the other age groups.
Further details on the estimation procedures used in
the CPS appear in "Concepts and Methods Used in Manpower Statistics from the Current Population Survey,"
BLS Report 313. This report is available from BLS on
request.

Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Labor Force Series

method permits a separate adjustment of data from
1967 2 to the present, including series, such as data for
veterans, that have been introduced after 1967. Data for
periods before 1967, which had been adjusted by the BLS
Seasonal Factor M e t h o d 3 , were "frozen" a year ago and
thus are no longer subject to change. In the past, revised seasonally adjusted monthly labor force series
have been published in the February issues of Employment and Earnings from the date of inception of each
series (on a conceptually comparable basis) through
the most recent year. Beginning with this issue, only
data for 1967 and later years will be published. Users
of these data should retain the February 1973 issue
of this publication as a permanent source of pre-1967
seasonally adjusted data, but historical data may also
be obtained from the BLS upon request.

At the beginning of each calendar year, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics revises the seasonally adjusted labor
force series derived from the Current Population Survey (household survey) to take into account data from
the previous year. This issue of Employment and Earnings introduces revised seasonal factors and seasonally
adjusted data for unemployment and other labor force
series which incorporate experience through December
1973. The revised seasonally adjusted factors shown on
page 13 and the seasonally adjusted series shown on
page 135 replace those published in the February 1973
issue of this publication, which were based on data
through December 1972.
The incorporation of 1973 experience did not affect
the previously published seasonally adjusted overall unemployment rate in 7 months of last year and altered it
by not more than 0.1 percentage point in the remaining
5 months, as shown in table 1. Because they are calculated from 12 monthly observations based on unadjusted
numbers, annual averages are not affected by the revision of seasonal factors.

Method of adjustment
The X-11 seasonal adjustment method is an adaptation of the traditional ratio-to-moving-average 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 long-run
trend and cyclical movements 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

For a detailed description of the X-11 method, tee Technical Paper No. 15, The X-11 Variant of the Census Method II
Seasonal Adjustment Program, 1967 revision (Bureau of the
Census, 1967).
Comparability with earlier years was affected to varying
degrees by the conceptual and questionnaire changes introduced
in January 1967. A detailed discussion of these changes and their
effect on the various series appears in "New Definitions for Employment and Unemployment," reprinted from the February
1967 Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report of the
Labor Force and "Concepts and Methods Used in Manpower
Statistics" from the Current Population Survey, Report 313
(Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1967). Copies are available upon
request.
The BLS method is described in the BLS Handbook of
Methods, Bulletin 1711 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1971)
Appendix A.

The Census Bureau's X-11 method l is used to
seasonally adjust the labor force series. Because it can
adjust time series of as short a duration as 3 years, this




10

of the factors between the last and next-to-last data years
and adds that quantity to the last year's factor. However, a study of this procedure conducted by BLS during
the past year, outlined in the following paragraphs,
indicated that the projection of factors using a trend
may unnecessarily introduce error into the current
factors.
The study entailed the calculation of a separate
"projection factor" for each of 2 years for nearly
every basic labor force series which is seasonally adjusted. This factor is the proportion of the trend
that would have been required to correctly project
the true seasonal factor. (The true seasonal factor is
the one resulting once data are available for the latest
12-month-period.)
It was found that although the median projection
factor was 0.55 of trend (approximating the 0.50 used
in X-11), there were substantial divergences. In 45 percent of the cases the projection factor called for a trend
greater than that of the previous year (i.e., was greater
than 1), and in fully 40 percent of the observations the
previous trend was reversed (i.e., the projection factor
was less than zero). The most desirable range for using
projection factors—between zero and 1—occurred in
only 15 percent of the cases. The results of the test for
the 12 basic component series of the total civilian labor
force were even more compelling: Fifty percent of the
observations had true trends exceeding the previous
year, 45.8 percent of the observations reversed the previous trend, while only 4.2 percent had trend factors between zero and 1. For these 12 series, the median projection factor was only 0.11. Therefore, the provision
for projecting seasonal factors in the X-11 method was
rejected, and 1973 factors are being used for 1974
monthly adjustments.

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. In the X-11 method, a 5-term
weighted moving average of these seasonal-irregulars
for the jsame month of successive years provides initial
estimates of the seasonal factors. The quotient of each
seasonal-irregular divided 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. A 5-year moving standard deviation
(sigma) of the irregular is computed. Individual irregulars divided by these sigmas are classified by size.
The X-11 method assigns graduated weights to the
observations based on these ratios. Small deviations
(those between 0 and 1.5 sigma) are accepted, that is,
they receive a weight of " 1 " ; deviations exceeding
2.5 sigma are rejected, receiving zero weight; and intermediate deviations (those between 1.5 and 2.5 sigma)
receive weights of more than zero and less than one.
The weights are used in two ways. They serve as
auxiliary weights in the various moving averages so
that the effect of each aberrant figure is reduced in
accordance with its weight. They are also used in
computing modified original values, where the amount
of modification varies inversely with the weight. 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. The modified original series then is
averaged with one of several possible sets of weights
to obtain a trend-cycle. Processes similar to those described earlier are used to obtain revised seasonal factors
and irregular components. (For these and subsequent
estimates of seasonal factors, moving averages of up
to seven terms arc applied to the seasonal-irregulars.)
Revised modified original data are then seasonally adjusted once again by a repetition of this process to
obtain a final set of seasonal factors and of seasonally
adjusted data.

Aggregation procedures

After the computation of seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted data for approximately 170 basic series,
certain series are then combined according to a set of
specifications to yield other seasonally adjusted estimates. In other words, components of a series are adjusted directly, and these values are combined to provide
seasonally adjusted values for many other series.
All civilian labor force and unemployment rate statistics, as well as the major employment and unemployment
estimates, are computed by this method of aggregation.
For example, for each of the three major labor force
components—agricultural and nonagricultural employment and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups
(males and females under and over 20 years of age) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then

Factors for 1974
The X-11 method has a provision for projecting
seasonal factors for the 12 months following the last
month of data. This procedure takes one-half the trend




11

added to derive seasonally adjusted total figures. In order
to provide seasonally adjusted total employment and
civilian labor force, the appropriate series are aggregated.
The unemployment rate for all civilian workers is derived
by dividing the estimate for total unemployment (the
sum of 4 seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by
the figure for the civilian labor force (the sum of 12
seasonally adjusted age-sex components).
A total of 290 seasonally adjusted series—both components and aggregates—are published in this volume.
There are a large number of other series which have not
been included due to space limitations. These additional
series, which are either components or aggregates of the
series presented, may be obtained from the BLS upon
request.

1970 Census population adjustments into the estimating procedures of the household survey in both January
1972 and March 1973. Occupational comparability was
affected in 1971 as a result of changes based on the
census occupational classification system. This was introduced into the Current Population Survey in two
stages: the first in January 1971 for the classification
changes,- and the second in December 1971, when a
question relating to major activities or duties was added
to the survey questionnaire to determine more precisely the occupational classification of individuals.4 It
is too early to determine if there are any pronounced
revisions in seasonal patterns resulting from any of
these changes.

Changes in the Spendable Earnings Series for 1974
*Janet Grimes
the computation of the income tax was necessary for
1974. The social security tax rate (5.85 percent) is
applied to gross average weekly earnings up to $253.85,
beyond which the maximum deduction of $14.85 is
applicable. Two sets of spendable earnings series are
derived based on the assumptions that the worker
earned the gross average weekly earnings and that he
was taxed at the rates applicable to (1) a worker with
no dependents or (2) a married worker with three
dependents who files a joint return. * Spendable average weekly earnings formulas for the years 1939-74
follow.

Formulas used to compute the spendable earnings
series issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics have been
developed for calendar year 1974 and reflect the new
maximum base on which the social security tax is paid.
For 1974, the new base is $13,200; for 1973, it was
$10,800. The social security tax rate remains 5.85 percent. Increases in tax liability resulting from this change
in base for the various levels of spendable earnings published monthly are shown in table 1. The only workers
affected by this change are those whose gross average
weekly earnings exceed $207.69. Especially affected by
the change are those making between $207.69 and
$253.85 because all of their income is now taxable for
social security purposes.
The spendable earnings series are a measure of the
weekly pay available to wage earners after their Federal
income and social security tax.requirements have been
met. The series are based on average earnings for all
full-time and part-time production or nonsupervisory
jobs in the private nonfarm sector of the U.S. economy.

CHARTS
This issue of Employment and Earnings introduces a revised set of charts plotted by computer.
In addition to the conversion to computer plotting, there are several other changes in the present
package.
Several charts have been dropped, some rearranged, and the display of quarterly data has been
discontinued. All charts now contain seasonally adjusted monthly data and include shaded areas
depicting recession periods. The peaks (P) and troughs (T) are business cycle turning dates as
designated by the National Bureau of Economic Research.

tAs noted on page 7 of the January 1972 issue of this magazine, the series does not include earned pay withheld as a consequence of delays caused by the wage freeze in effect between August 15
and November 14, 1971, and by administrative procedures of the Pay Board. These delays resulted from compliance with the Government's Economic Stabilization Program. Because these withheld
payments were substantial and fell due under a significant number of new labor-management contracts in that industry.they affected a large proportion of SIC 372. The series including these payments for September 1971 • March 1973 are shown below.
A 17 -cent delayed payment for employees in a number of large companies was pending as a consequence of litigation in the courts arising out of the Government's Economic Stabilization Program. The issue is undergoing further litigation. These data will later be revised, if necessary, to include this additional delayed payment.

Explanatory Notes
Introduction
Household Data (A tables)
Establishment Data (B, C, D, and E tables)
Unemployment Insurance Data (F tables)
Seasonal Adjustment

Introduction
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from three major
sources: (1) Household interviews, (2) reports from employers,
and (3) administrative statistics of unemployment insurance
systems.
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 nonagricultural wage and salary workers. The data relate
to all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the
payroll period which includes the 12th 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 three-fourths 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

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 are 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 jobholding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population without duplication
since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or not
in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job
are counted only once and are classified according to the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during the
survey week. In the figures based on establishment records,
persons who worked in more than one establishment during the
reporting period are counted each time their names appear on
payrolls.
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 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




The household survey measures hours actually
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid

188

worked
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.

once if they worked on more than one tarm during the reporting
period. There are also wide differences in sampling techniques
and collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be readily
measured in terms of impact on differences in level and trend of
the two series.

COMPARABILITY OF THE PAYROLL EMPLOYMENT
DATA WITH OTHER SERIES
COMPARABILITY OF THE HOUSEHOLD
DATA WITH OTHER SERIES
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from the
household survey includes all persons who did not have a job at
all during the survey week and were looking for work or were
waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid
off, 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 rights, new workers who have not earned rights to
unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by
unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, some State and
local government, domestic service, self-employment, unpaid
family work, and religious organizations).
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

Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the Census.
BLS establishment statistics on employment differ from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from its
censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The major
reasons for some noncomparability are different treatment of
business units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, the industrial
classification of establishments, and different reporting patterns
by multiunit companies. There are also differences in the scope
of the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Business excludes
professional services, public utilities, and financial establishments, whereas these are included in BLS statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business Patterns
(CBP), 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. Most nonagricultural wage and salary workers are covered
by the unemployment insurance programs. Beginning in January
1972, coverage was expanded to include employees of small
firms and selected nonprofit activities who had not been covered
previously. However, certain activities, such as interstate railroads, parochial schools, churches and most State and local government activities are not covered by unemployment insurance
whereas these are included in BLS establishment statistics.

Household data
(A tables)
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 31 3. 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. Respondents are interviewed to




189

obtain information about the employment status of each
member of the household 16 years of age and over. Separate
statistics are also collected and published for 14 and 15 year
olds. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the calendar
week, Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of the
month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions, members of the Armed Forces, and
persons under 14 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
7,500 sample units in an average month which are visited but
found to be vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of
the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides
for three-fourths of the sample to be common from 1 month to
the next, and one-half to be common with the same month a
year ago.

Jobseekers are all unemployed persons who made specific
efforts to find a job, sometime during the 4-week period
preceding the survey week. Jobseekers do not include persons
unemployed because they (a) were waiting to be called back to a
job from which they had been laid off or (b) were waiting to
report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days. Jobseekers are
grouped by the methods used to seek work, including going to a
public or private employment agency or to an employer directly,
seeking assistance from friends or relatives, placing or answering
ads, or utilizing some "other" method. Examples of the "other"
category include being on a union or professional register,
obtaining assistance from a community organization, or waiting
at a designated pick-up point.
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 the civilian labor force
and the civilian noninstitutional population. Participation rates
are usually published for sex-age groups, often cross-classified by
other demographic characteristics such as color and educational
attainment.

CONCEPTS
Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during the
survey week did any work at all as paid employees, in their own
business, profession, or farm, or who worked 15 hours or more
as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of the
family, and (b) all those who were not working but who had jobs
or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because
of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or
personal reasons, whether or not they were paid by their
employers for the time off, and whether or not they were
seeking other jobs.
Each employed person is counted only once. Those who held
more than one job are counted in the job at which they worked
the greatest number of hours during the survey week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign
countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not living
on the premises of an Embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work
around the house (such as own home housework, and painting or
repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable,
and similar organizations.

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-in-labor force questions were asked of persons in the first
and fifth months in the sample, i.e., the "incoming" groups.

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
bre^k the continuity of the present period of seeking work.
Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a
distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment are
divided into four major groups. (1) Job losers are persons whose
employment ended involuntarily who immediately began
looking for work and persons on layoff. (2) Job leavers are
persons who quit or otherwise terminated their employment
voluntarily and immediately
began looking for
work.
(3) Reentrants are persons who previously worked at a full-time
job lasting 2 weeks or longer but who were out of the labor force
prior to beginning to look for work. (4) New entrants are
persons who never worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
longer.




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.
190

includes all persons who are observed in the enumeration process
to be other than white. At the time of the 1970 Census of
Population, 89 percent of the Negro and other races population
group were Negro; the remainder were American Indians,
Eskimos, Orientals, and other nonwhite. 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-olds by employment status, color,
sex, and, if unemployed, whether seeking full- or part-time work.

Information on the detailed categories included in these groups
is available upon request.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salary
workers," subdivided into private and government workers,
"self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage
and salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or
pay in kind from a private employer or from a government unit.
Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in
their own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15
hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a
member of the household to whom they are related by 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
Columbus 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
1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part time." Part-time
workers are classified by their usual status at their present job
(either full time or part time) and by their reason for working
part time during the survey week (economic or other reasons).
"Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material shortages,
repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job during
the week, and inability to find fuli-time work. "Other reasons'
include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation,
demands of home housework, school, no desire for full-time
work, and full-time worker only during peak season. Persons on
full-time schedules include, in addition to those working 35
hours or more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for
noneconomic reasons and usually work full time.

Household head. One person in each household is designated as
the head. The head is usually the person regarded as the head by
the members of the group. If a husband and wife family occupy
the unit, the husband is designated as the head. The number of
heads, therefore, is equal to the number of households.
Vietnam Era veterans are those who served in the Armed
Forces of the United States after August 4, 1964. Tables for
veterans in this volume are limited to men in the civilian
noninstitutional population; i.e., veterans in institutions and
females are excluded.
Nonveterans are males who never served in the Armed
Forces.

HISTORIC COMPARABILITY
Raised lower age limit
Beginning with data for 1967, the lower age limit for official
statistics on persons in the labor force was raised from 14 to 16
years. At the same time, several definitions were sharpened to
clear up ambiguities. The principal definitional changes were:
(1) Counting as unemployed only persons who were currently
available for work and who had engaged in some specific
jobseeking activity within the past 4 weeks; an exception to the
latter condition is made for persons waiting to start a new job in
30 days or waiting to be recalled from layoff; in the past, the
current availability test was not applied and the time period for
jobseeking was ambiguous; (2) counting as employed persons
who were absent from their jobs in the survey week because of
st-ikes, bad weather, etc. and those who were looking for other
jobs; previously, these persons had been classified as
unemployed; (3) sharpening the questions on hours of work,
duration of unemployment, and self-employment in order to
increase their reliability.

Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor force consists
of persons working on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily
working part time (part time for economic reasons), and
unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The part-time labor
force conrsists of persons working part time voluntarily and
unemployed persons seeking part-t me we1- Persons with a job
but not at work during the survey we^k are classified according
to whether they usually work full or parf t n--&.
Labor force time lost is a measu?
f a in-hours lost to the
economy through impmployment and involuntary part-time
employment and is expressed as a percent of potentially
available man-hours. It is computed by assuming: (DThat
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.

These changes did not affect the unemployment rate by more
than one-fifth of a percentage point in either direction, although
the distribution of unemployment by sex was affected. The
number of employed was reduced about 1 million because of the
exclusion of 14- and 1 5-year-olds. For persons 16 years and over,
the only employment series appreciably affected were those
relating to hours of work and class of worker. A detailed
discussion of the changes and their effect on the various series is
contained in "New Definitions of Employment and Unemploy
mem" by Robert L. Stem in the February 1967 issue of Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force. Repnnts may be obtained upon request.
Noncomparability of labor force levels

White and Negro and other races are terms used to describe
the color or race of workers. The Negro and other races

Before the changes introduced in 1967, the labor force date
were not comparable for three earlier periods: (1) Beginning
1953, as a result of ths introduction of data f r o m the 1950

shifts, particularly from managers and administrators to other
groups. Thus, meaningful comparisons of occupational levels
cannot be made between 1972 and earlier periods. However,
revisions in the occupational classification system as well as in
the CPS questionnaire are believed to have had but a negligible
impact on unemployment rates.
Additional information on changes in the occupational
classification system of the CPS appears in "Revisions in
Occupational Classifications for 1971" and "Revisions in the
Current Population Survey" in the February 1971 and February
1972 issues, respectively, of Employment and Earnings.

census into the estimation procedure, population levels were
raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment, and
agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting
the figures for totals and males; other categories were relative
unaffected; (2) beginning 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and
Hawaii resulted in an increase of about 500,000 in the
population and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of
this in nonagricultural employment; other labor force categories
were not appreciably affected; (3) beginning 1962, the introduction of figures from the 1960 census reduced the population by
about 50,000, labor force and employment by about 200,000;
unemployment totals were virtually unchanged. In addition,
beginning 1972, information from the 1970 census was introduced into the estimation procedures, producing an increase in
the civilian noninstitutional population of about 800,000; labor
force and employment totals were raised by a little more than
300,000, and unemployment levels and rates were essentially
unchanged. A subsequent population adjustment based on the
1970 census was introduced in March 1973. This adjustment
affected the white and Negro and other races groups but had
little effect on totals. The adjustment resulted in the reduction
of nearly 300,000 in the white population and an increase of the
same magnitude in the Negro and other races population.
Civilian labor force and total employment figures were affected
to a lesser degree; the white labor force was reduced by 150,000,
and the Negro and other races labor force rose by about
210,000. Unemployment levels and rates were not affected
significantly.

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 eas and,
within these, for six groups—two race categoric »white, and
Negro and other races) within three residence categories. For
sample areas which are standard metropolitan statistical areas
(SMSA's), these residence 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.

Changes in occupational classification system
Beginning with 1971, the comparability of occupational
employment data was affected as a result of changes in census
occupational classifications introduced into the Current Population Survey (CPS). These changes stemmed from an exhaustive
review of the classification system to be used for the 1970
Census of Population. This review, the most comprehensive since
the 1940 census, was to reduce the size of large groups, to be
more specific about general and "not elsewhere classified"
groups, and to provide information on emerging significant
occupations. Differences in March 1970 employment levels
tabulated on both the 1960 and 1970 classification systems
ranged from a drop of 650,000 in operatives to an increase of
570,000 in service workers, much of which resulted from a shift
between these two groups; the nonfarm laborers group increased
by 420,000, and changes in other groups amounted to 220,000
or less.
An additional major group was created by splitting the
operatives category into two: operatives, except transport, and
transport equipment operatives. Separate data for these two
groups first became available in January 1972. At the same time,
several changes in titles, as well as in order of presentation, were
introduced; for example, the title of the managers, officials, and
proprietors group was changed to "managers and administrators,
except farm," since only proprietors performing managerial
duties are included in the category.
Apart from the effects of revisions in the occupational
classification system beginning in 1971, comparability of
occupational employment data was further affected in December
1971, when a question eliciting information on major activities
or duties was added to the monthly CPS questionnaire in order
to determine more precisely the occupational classification of
individuals. This change resulted in several dramatic occupational




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.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a
given month, a composite estimating procedure is used which
192

Table B. Standard error of level of monthly estimates

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.

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.

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.
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
month-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to use the
approximations to the standard errors of month-to-month
changes 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 diners by less than

133,000 from the figure wnich would have been obtained from a
complete count of the number of persons working the given
number of hours. Using the 133,000 as the standard error of the
monthly level in table C, it may be seen that the standard error
of the 500,000 increase is about 126,000.
The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed by
using sample data for both numerator and denominator, depends
upon both the size of the percentage and the size of the total
upon which the percentage is based. Where the numerator is a
subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are relatively
more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates of the
numerator of the percentage, particularly if the percentage is
large (50 percent or greater). Table D shows the standard errors
for percentages derived from the survey. Linear interpolation
may be used for percentages and base figures not shown in
table D. As a general rule, percentages will not be published
when the monthly base is less than 75,000 or the annual base is
less than 35,000.

Establishment data
(B,C D,and E tables)
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.

Federal-State cooperation

production and related workers or nonsupervisory workers for
the pay period which includes the 12th of the month. Form DL
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.

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.

CONCEPTS
Industrial classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and Form DL
1219 are classified into industries on the basis of their principal
product or activity determined from information on annual sales
volume. This information is collected each year on a supplement
to the monthly 790 or 1219 report. For an establishment
making more than one product or engaging in more than one
activity, the entire employment of the establishment is included
under the industry indicated by the most important product or
activity.
All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings,
job vacancy, and labor turnover series are classified in accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau
of the Budget, 1967.

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 collection 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




Industry employment
Employment data, except those for the Federal Government,
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. For Federal Government establishments, employment
figures represent the number of persons who occupied positions
on the last day of the calendar month. Intermittent workers are
counted if they performed any service during the month.
194

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 been paid during the
period.

tion, 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

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 the pay period reported (e.g., retroactive
pay), tips, and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other
payment in kind are excluded. "Fringe benefits" (such as health
and other types of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc.
paid by the employer) are also excluded.
Man-hours cover man-hours paid for, during the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month, for production, construc-




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.
For example, persistent long-term increases in the proportion of
part-time workers in retail trade and many of the service
industries have 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
195

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 the Bureau's Employment and Wages, County Business Patterns of the 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. Reprints
are available upon request.
Railroad hours and earnings

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
man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to
January 1956, these data were based on the application of
adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described
in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both
methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
V/2 times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for
other premium payment provisions, such as holiday work,
late-shift work and overtime rates other than time and one-half.

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.

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-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

Labor turnover

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

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.




Indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours

196

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.

(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 in table E,
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, Job vacancies
and labor turnover, reprinted from the Handbook of Methods,
BLS Bulletin 1 711 -which are available upon request.

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
of 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




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 nonagricultural industries, and appropriate
adjustments are made as indicated. The industry estimates are
currently projected from March 1971 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, cover nearly ninetenths of the total nonagricultural employment in the United
States. Benchmarks 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 F.

Data for all months since the last benchmark to which the
series has been adjusted are subject to revision. To provide users
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, entitled Employment and Earnings,
United States, 1909-72.

Coverage
The BLS sample of establishment employment and payrolls is
the largest monthly sampling operation in the field of social
statistics. Table G shows the approximate proportion of total
employment in each industry division covered by the group of
establishments furnishing monthly employment data. The
coverage for individual industries within the division may vary
from the proportions shown. Table H shows the approximate
coverage, in terms of employment, of the job vacancy—labor
turnover sample.

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 specifications for most industries. With its
use, the BLS is ablet 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.

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

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 I
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.
The hours and earnings estimates for cells are not subject to
benchmark revisions, although the broader groupings may be
affected slightly by changes in employment weights. The hours
and earnings estimates, however, are subject to sampling errors
which may be expressed as relative errors of the estimates. (A
relative error is a standard error expressed as a percent of the
estimate.) Relative errors for major industries are presented in
table I and for individual industries with the specified number of
employees in table J. 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

Since some establishments do not report the information,
job vacancy estimates currently are based on reports from
sample establishments covering about 43 percent of universe
employment.

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

root-mean-square error.
Approximations of the root-mean-square errors (based on the
experience of the last 6 years) of differences between final
estimates and benchmarks are presented in table J.
For the most recent months, estimates of employment,
hours, and earnings are preliminary and are so footnoted in the
tables. These figures are based on less than the total sample and
are revised when all the reports in the sample have been received.
Table K presents root-mean-square errors of the amounts of
revisions that may be expected between the preliminary and
final levels of employment and preliminary and final month-tomonth changes. Revisions of preliminary hours and earnings
estimates are normally not greater than .1 of an hour for weekly
hours and 1 cent for hourly earnings.

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 L. 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. Tht
chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be J.

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
definitions are noted as they occur. Additional industry detail
may be obtained from the State agencies listed on the inside
back cover of each issue. These statistics are based on the same
establishment reports used by BLS for preparing nation.)l
estimates. For employment, the sum of the State figures mry
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 data of availability of
each series) in a summary volume published annually by the
BLS.

Unemployment insurance data
(F tables)
average covered employment in a 1 2-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 continued 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 insurance programs are operated, State
unemployment rates generally indicate, but do not precisely
measure, differences among the individual States. Persons
wishing to receive a detailed description of the nature, sources,
inclusions and exclusions, and limitation of unemployment
insurance data should address their inquiries to Manpower
Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210.

Insured unemployment represents the number of persons
reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment
irsurance 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
these persons engaged in agriculture, domestic service, unpaid
family work, selected nonprofit organizations, some 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

Seasonal adjustment
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 patternthat 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),
and the X-11 Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal
Adjustment Program, Technical Paper No. 15, Bureau of the
Census (1967).
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




202

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 1973 are published
in the February 1974 Employment and Earnings. Revisions will
be made annually as each additional year's data become
available.
For establishment data, the seasonally adjusted series on
hours, hourly earnings, number of job vacancies, 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.
Seasonally adjusted average weekly earnings are the product of
seasonally adjusted average hourly earnings and average weekly
hours. Average weekly earnings in constant dollars, seasonally
adjusted, are obtained by dividing seasonally adjusted average
weekly earnings by the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price
Index. 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 heip 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.

Seasonally adjusted job vacancy rates are computed by
dividing the seasonally adjusted number of job vacancies by the
sum of seasonally adjusted employment and job vacancies and
multiplying the quotient by 100. Seasonally adjusted long-term
job vacancy rates are computed by dividing the seasonally
adjusted long-term job vacancies by the sum of seasonally
adjusted' employment and total job vacancies and multiplying
the quotient by 100.

The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishment
data reflect experience through March 1973. Seasonal factors to
be used for current adjustment appear in the June 1973
Employment and Earnings.

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 the Handbook of Methods, BLS Bulletin 1 7 1 1 .
