Employment and Unemployment Developments,
January 1976
Unemployment declined and employment rose in
January, as the Nation's unemployment rate dropped
from 8.3 percent in December to 7.8 percent. The
jobless rate had reached a high of 8.9 percent (as revised)
last May; most of the subsequent improvement has
occurred between October and January.
Total employment—as measured by the monthly
survey of households—increased by 800,000 in January, after adjustment for normal seasonal fluctuations.
At 86.2 million, the employment level was 2.1 million
above last March's recession low and very close to the
pre-recession peak reached in July 1974.
Nonagricultural payroll employment—as measured
by the monthly survey of establishments—rose by
360,000 in January, with nearly three-quarters of the
gain taking place in manufacturing and trade. The payroll total of 78.1 million jobs was 1.8 million above the
June 1975 low but still 700,000 short of the previous
September's peak.
Unemployment
The number of persons unemployed fell by about
450,000 in January to 7.3 million (seasonally adjusted).
Since October, unemployment has declined by 770,000,
after having held close to the 8-million mark since April.
The unemployment rate fell to 7.8 percent from the
8.3 percent registered in December. For the second
consecutive month, the drop in unemployment occurred
entirely among those who had lost their last job, the
jobless group most sensitive to cyclical fluctuations.
The overall decline in joblessness was reflected in improvements among most component labor force groups.
The unemployment rate for adult men fell from 6.6 to
5.8 percent, while the rate for adult women moved
down from 8.0 to 7.5 percent. Paralleling these declines
were sizeable decreases in the unemployment rates for
household heads, married men, and full-time workers.
On the other hand, the rate for teenagers—19.9
percent—was virtually unchanged in January.
White workers showed an improvement in unemployment, as their rate dropped 0.5 percentage point to




7.1 percent in January. The rate for black workers
(13.2 percent), though little changed from December,
has trended downward from the September peak o1
14.4 percent.
Declines in industry unemployment rates were pervasive, while the drop in joblessness by occupational
categories was concentrated among blue-collar workers,
whose rate fell from 10.7 to 9.4 percent.
The average (mean) duration of unemployment, which
usually lags behind movements in total unemployment,
remained stable in January at 16.9 weeks, despite a large
decrease in the number of persons unemployed 15-26
weeks. However, the number unemployed 5-14 weeks
also dropped substantially and the number unemployed
27 weeks or longer—1.6 million—was little changed
over the month.
In contrast to the downward movement in overall
unemployment, the number of persons working part
time for economic reasons on nonfarm jobs rose by
240,000 in January to 3.5 million, after having remained at about 3.3 million since last July. However,
labor force time lost—a measure that combines the
involuntary part-time employed with unemploymem
on a worker-hours basis—declined from 8.9 to 8.4 percent over the month.

Total employment and labor force
Total employment surged upward by 800,000 in
January to 86.2 million (seasonally adjusted); employment has risen by 2.1 million since the March recession
low. Over-the-month employment increases were concentrated among adult workers in nonagricultural industries. Workers in both white-collar and blue-collar
occupations registered large employment gains.
The civilian labor force rose by 360,000 in January
to 93.5 million persons (seasonally adjusted). All of the
increase occurred among adult women and teenagers.
The labor force has grown by 1.5 million over the past
year, with adult women accounting for 1.1 million of
this increase.

Industry payroll employment

of 0.4 hour in the previous month. The factory workweek was 1.6 hours above its recession low but 0.6 hour
below the pre-recession high recorded in February 1973.
Factory overtime, which in December had recorded
its first increase since August, held steady in January
at 3.0 hours.
The index of aggregate hours of private nonagricultural production or nonsupervisory employees rose
by 0.9 percent to 110.3 (1967=100), the seventh consecutive monthly increase. Aggregate factory hours also
rose by 0.9 percent over the month to 93.3, continuing
the upward movement from last March's low of 86.4.

Total nonagricultural payroll employment increased
for the second month, moving up by 360,000 in January to 78.1 million (seasonally adjusted). As in the
previous month, the most substantial gains occurred in
manufacturing and trade. The total payroll job count
now stands 1.8 million above the June 1975 recession
low.
Employment increases from December to January
occurred in 68 percent of the 172 industries comprising
the diffusion index of nonagricultural payroll employment. Three-fourths of all industries have posted job
gains over their July levels.
Employment in manufacturing advanced by 140,000,
as widespread gains took place among both the durable
and nondurable goods industries. Within durable goods,
the largest increases occurred in electrical equipment,
transportation equipment, and fabricated metal products.
In nondurables, notable gains were registered in apparel
and food processing. In contrast, employment in contract construction remained about unchanged over the
month, maintaining the recessionary low level of 3.4
million exhibited for more than half a year.
An expansion in each of the industry divisions in the
service-producing sector was led by an increase of
120,000 jobs in wholesale and retail trade. The service
industry division continued its steady upward trend,
growing by 60,000. An increase of 20,000 in transportation and public utilities resulted from the settlement of
airline strikes.

Hourly and weekly earnings
Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonagricultural payrolls rose
1.1 percent from the December level (seasonally adjusted)
and 7.3 percent over the last 12 months. Average weekly
earnings advanced 1.6 percent over the month and have
risen 8.4 percent since January 1975.
Before adjustment for seasonality, average hourly
earnings rose 4 cents to $4.72. Since January 1975, the
increase has been 32 cents. Average weekly earnings were
$170.39, down 43 cents from December but $13.31
above January a year ago.

The 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 179.8 (1967=100) in
January, 0.9 percent higher than in December. The
index was 8.2 percent above January a year ago. During
the 12-month period ended in December, the Hourly
Earnings Index in dollars of constant purchasing power
rose 0.7 percent.

Hours
The average workweek for all production and nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls continued to climb, advancing by 0.2 hour in January to
36.6 hours (seasonally adjusted). The manufacturing
workweek edged up to 40.4 hours, following a gain

Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Labor Force Series
by Thomas J. Plewes

At the beginning of each calendar year the Bureau of
Labor Statistics routinely revises the seasonal adjustment
factors for unemployment and other labor force series
from the Current Population Survey (CPS) to take into
account data from the previous year. This year's revisions, which incorporate experience through December
1975, were computed during the month of January, and
are being introduced in this issue of Employment and
Earnings. The revised seasonal adjustment factors for
the 12 component series comprising the civilian labor
force shown on page 10 and the seasonally adjusted series
shown on pages 142-190, replace those published in the
February 1975 issue of this publication, which were
based on data through December 1974.
As has been the case since 1973, the Census Bureau's
X-11 method ! was used to seasonally adjust the labor
force data. For most series, seasonality was computed
based on the most recent 9-year period. In keeping with
past practice, however, revisions of the seasonally adjusted data were limited to the last 5 years only; thus
the series for the years 1967-70 were not subject to
revision. To maintain a partial historical record, the
seasonally adjusted series have been published in this
issue for 1967 forward. Pre-1967 data, which have been
adjusted by the BLS Seasonal Factor Method, 2 are also
no longer subject to change. Users of these data who
have retained the February 1973 issue of this publication
have a permanent source of pre-1967 seasonally adjusted
data. These historical data may also be obtained from
the BLS upon request.
In addition to these routine annual revisions, the
Bureau has introduced a modification in the procedure
for seasonally adjusting teenage unemployment and
those few other unemployment series of which teenagers are the exclusive or major part. Based on extensive
study of the seasonal properties of the employment
and unemployment series (summarized below), the
teenage unemployment series are now to be adjusted
using the additive procedure of the X-11 method.
The impact of the incorporation of the 1975 data
and the introduction of the new adjustment procedure
is shown in table 1. This table compares the monthly

seasonally adjusted unemployment rates for 1975 as
they were originally published and as they appear on revision using the new adjustment procedures. The new procedure altered the published unemployment rate by
0.3 percentage point in 5 months, 0.2 percentage point
in 3 months, and 0.1 percentage point in 2 months,
and did not alter the published rates in the remaining
2 months. In addition to fairly sizable differences for
individual months, the new procedure resulted in large
differences in the pattern of Change between months,
especially in the May-June period. When the June 1975
rate was originally published, it showed a 0.6-percentagepoint drop from May; the revised data reduce this
change to a mere 0.2-percentage-point decline.

Employment Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
For a detailed description of the X-11 method, see Technical Paper No. 15, the X-11 Variant of the Census Method II
Seasonal Adjustment Program, by Julius Shiskin, Alan Young
and John Musgrave, 1967 revision (Bureau of the Census,
1967).
The BLS method is described in the BLS Handbook of
Methods, Bulletin 1711 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1971),
Appendix A.

sonal unemployment of adults, on the other hand,
tended to fluctuate with the level of the series.
In order to focus on this problem, the Bureau of
Labor Statistics conducted extensive research into the
seasonal characteristics of major labor force series. A
number of alternative seasonal adjustment procedures
were tested, in recognition of the fact that different
procedures yield different results and different results can
be produced when the same methodology is used,
depending on how various components are combined.
The principal findings of the study were:
• Teenage (16-19 years of age) unemployment
has behaved primarily in an additive pattern since
1967.
• Adult male (20 years of age and over) unemployment is clearly multiplicative in behavior.
• Adult female unemployment has elements of
both multiplicative and additive behavior, with a
slightly stronger multiplicative pattern.
• Young adult male (20-24 years of age) unemployment is strongly multiplicative while young
adult female unemployment has elements of both
multiplicative and additive behavior, but is probably more multiplicative.
• Employment series for ail age groups show
preponderant evidence of multiplicative patterns
of seasonality, though teenage nonagricultural employment has strong elements of additivity.
• No improvement in the seasonal quality of the
data is evident when adjusted unemployment is
calculated by subtracting the directly adjusted
employment from the adjusted labor force (the
"residual" method).

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 the combination of a trend-cycle,
which represents the long-run trend and cycle movements of the series; a seasonal component, which is
the annual repetitive pattern that makes certain months
consistently higher or lower than others; and an irregular
component, which is a residual, including sampling errors
and short-term fluctuations due to unusual weather,
strikes, etc., which do not follow any consistent pattern.
The X-11 includes two procedures. One procedure
(called multiplicative) assumes that the original series is
the product of the trend-cycle, seasonal, and irregular.
The other (called additive) assumes that the original
series is the tt/m of the trend-cycle, seasonal, and irregular.
After a satisfactory decomposition is achieved, the seasonally adjusted series are computed either by dividing
each month's original value by the corresponding seasonal
factor in the multiplicative procedure or by subtracting
the factor from the original in the additive procedure.
The underlying assumption in the BLS application
of the X-11 method has been that the magnitude of
the seasonal increase or decrease is proportional to the
level of series. Therefore, BLS has used the multiplicative procedure exclusively in recent years to adjust
employment and unemployment series. Earlier studies
had shown that, for most months, the proportional relationship best portrayed the character of time-series
movements.
The additive procedure assumes that the magnitude
of the seasonal increase or decrease is essentially constant
without regard to level. Many series are known to have
elements of both multiplicative and additive relationships,
but, generally, the additive relationship less adequately
describes most movements for most series than does the
multiplicative.

Series affected by new procedures

Based on the above findings, the Bureau has revised its
procedures for adjusting teenage unemployment and
those few other unemployment series of which teenagers
are the exclusive or major part, using the additive procedure of the X-11 method. The series which have been
additively adjusted are:

Selection of appropriate procedure. The Bureau has
recognized that there were possible difficulties in the
procedure it used to seasonally adjust unemployment
data. The problems with the purely multiplicative procedure in a period of sharply rising unemployment
were brought into sharp relief in the May to June 1975
period. Teenagers were the group most affected. In
part this was so because the largest seasonal movements
in the series are governed by the flow of students between school and the labor force, especially in the MayJune period. This flow tends to be more or less constant
and relatively independent of the level of unemployment in a particular year. Hence, an additive seasonal
adjustment of teenagers appeared to be called for. Sea-

of aggregation, hor 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 added to derive seasonally adjusted total figures. In order to provide seasonally
adjusted total employment and civilian labor force
estimates, 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 civilian labor force (the sum of 12 seasonally adjusted age-sex components).

Early in 1977, an appraisal will be made of the effectiveness of the modification of the seasonal adjustment
method when adjustments will incorporate the experience through December 1976. (Copies of the comprehensive technical paper, 'Tests of Seasonal Adjustment:
Observations and Recommendations," are available upon
request.)

Aggregation procedures

After the computation of seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted data for independently adjusted series,
these series are then combined 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




Revised series

A total of 286 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.

Publication of Industry Employment Estimates
from the Current Population Survey
* by Gloria P. Green

Regular publication of annual average data on industry employment derived from the Current Population
Survey (CPS) begins with this issue of Employment and
Earnings and will continue early each subsequent year.
The accompanying tables present employment by industry for the years 1972-75 cross-classified by class of
workers, major occupational categories, color, sex and
age.
Occupational and demographic characteristics by industry (tables 2-4) are presented as percent distributions,
but with totals available for calculations of levels, where
desired. Standard errors on annual employment estimates
may be approximated by multiplying by 0.68 the standard errors of the monthly data shown in table B (with
interpolations, where necessary) of the Explanatory
Notes of this publication. For example, a point estimate
of 500,000 has a standard error of 20,000. Thus, there
are 90 chances out of 100—1.6 sigma—that the true
estimate lies between 467,000 and 533,000. Standard
errors on the annual average percentage distribution
items can be determined by using table A.
Household survey (CPS) figures can be expected to
show different levels of employment than the nonagricultural payroll employment data derived from the
monthly surveys of establishments which appear in the

" B " tables of this publication. These differences are in
part inherent in the concepts and scope of the two
series. Other discrepancies in levels stem from differences in sampling techniques and collection and estimation methodology, as explained in the Explanatory
Notes of this publication. l
These data are being published in response to increased demand for industry statistics with demographic and occupational detail not available from the
establishment (payroll) survey, which is the prime
source for detailed industrial employment data. The
household and payroll series should be regarded as
complementary sources of information. Which series
should be used depends upon the purpose for which
the data are required. A recognition of the advantages
and limitations of each can provide the user with a
broader perspective on industrial employment.
* Gloria P. Green is an economist in the Office of Current
Employment Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Fora comprehensive discussion of the differences between
household and establishment survey employment data, see Gloria
P. Green, "Comparing employment estimates from household
and payroll surveys," Monthly Labor Review, December 1969.
For a long-term analysis of trends in the two series, see
Christopher G. Gellner, " A 25-year look at employment as measured by two surveys," Monthly Labor Review, July 1973-

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

Introduction
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from tnree 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, 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 over
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 entire
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-Armed Forces personnel, and railroad workers. These statistics
are published by the Employment and Training Administration,
U.S. Department of Labor, in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."

whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably denvec
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.

RELATION BETWEEN THE HOUSEHOLD AND
ESTABLISHMENT SERIES

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 worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by
192

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 farm during the reporting
period. There are also wide differences in sampling techniques
and collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be readily

•DATA WITH OTHER SERIES

Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the Census.
BLS establishment statistics on employment differ from employment counts derived by the Bureau of 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.

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 Employment and Training Administration of the Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit rights, new workers who have not earned
rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not
covered by unemployment insurance systems (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.

County Business Patterns. Data in County Business Patterns
(CBP), published by the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department
of Commerce, differ from BLS establishment statistics in the
treatment of central administrative offices and auxiliary units.
Differences may also arise because of industrial classification
and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes interstate
railroads and government, and coverage is incomplete for some
of the nonprofit activities.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance programs. Most nonagricultural wage and salary workers are covered
by the unemployment insurance programs. 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 local government
activities are not covered by unemployment insurance whereas
these are included in BLS establishment statistics.

COLLECTION AND COVERAGE

Statistics on the employment status of the population, the
personal, occupational, and other characteristics of the
employed, the unemployed, and persons not in the labor force,
and related data are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the
Census in its Current Population Survey (CPS). A detailed
description of this survey appears in Concepts and Methods Used
in 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




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.

193

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.

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.
Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did not work
during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job
within the past 4 weeks, and who were available for work during
the survey week (except for temporary illness). Also included as
unemployed are those who did not work at all, were available for
work, and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which
they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new
wage or salary job within 30 days.
Duration of unemployment represents the length of time
(through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work.
For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the
number of full weeks since the termination of their most recent
employment. A period of 2 weeks or more during which a
person was employed or ceased looking for work is considered to
break the continuity of the present period of seeking work.
Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a
distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment are
divided into four major groups. (1) Job losers are persons whose
employment ended involuntarily who immediately began
looking for work and persons on layoff. (2) Job leavers are
persons who quit or otherwise terminated their employment
voluntarily and immediately began looking for work.
(3) Reentrants are persons who previously worked at a full-time
job lasting 2 weeks or longer but who were out of the labor force
prior to beginning to look for work. (4) New entrants are
persons who never worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
longer.




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.
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 net be in for the
subsequent month. Between 1967 and 1969, the detailed
not-m-labor force questions were asked of persons in the first
and fifth months in the sample, i.e., the "incoming" groups.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the employed
apply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two or
more jobs are classified in the job at which they worked the
greatest number of hours during the survey week. The
unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time
civilian job lasting 2 weeks or more. The occupation and
industry groups used in data derived from the CPS household
interviews are defined as in the 1970 Census of Population.
194

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 full-time work. "Other reasons"
include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation,
demands of home housework, school, no desire for full-time
work, and full-time worker only during peak season. Persons on
full-time schedules include, in addition to those working 35
hours or more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for
noneconomic reasons and usually work full time.
Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor force consists
of persons working on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily
working part time (part time for economic reasons), and
unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The part-time labor
force consists of persons working part time voluntarily and
unemployed persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job
but not at work during the survey week are classified according
to whether they usually work full or part time.
Labor force time lost is a measure of aggregate hours lost to
the economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time
employment and is expressed as a percent of potentially available
aggregate hours. It is computed by assuming: (1) That unemployment persons looking for full-time work lost an average
of 37.5 hours, (2) that those looking for part-time work lost the
average number of hours actually worked by voluntary part-time
workers during the survey week, and (3) that persons on part
time for economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5
hours and the actual number of hours they worked.
White and Negro and other races are terms used to describe
the color or race of workers. The Negro and other races




category, which in the past had been identified as "nonwhite,"
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.
The term "Negro" is used in tables when the relevant data are
provided for Negroes exclusively.
Spanish origin refers to persons who identified themselves
in the enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto Rican living on
the mainland, Cuban, Central or South American or other
Spanish origin or descent. According to the 1970 Census,
approximately 98 percent of their population is white.
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-6 for 16-21 year-olds by employment status, color,
sex, and, if unemployed, whether seeking full- or part-time work.
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 males in the civilian
noninstitutional population; i.e., veterans in institutions and
females are excluded.
Nonveterans are males who never served in the Armed
Forces.
Poverty areas classification consists of all Census geographical divisions in which 20 percent or more of the residents were
poor according to the 1970 Decennial Census. Persons were
classified as poor or nonpoor by using income thresholds
adopted by a Federal interagency committee in 1969. These
thresholds vary by family size, composition, and residence
(farm-nonfarm). While poverty areas have a substantial concentration of low-income residents, many poor persons live outside these areas and, conversely, the areas include many people
who are not poor.

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
strikes, 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,
195

duration of unemployment, and self-employment in order to
increase their reliability.
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
ment" by Robert L. Stein in the February 1967 issue of Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force. Reprints may be obtained upon request.

in any age-sex group, and all of the changes were in the "other
races" population.
Changes in occupational classification system
Beginning with 1971, the comparability of occupationa!
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.

Noncomparabihty of labor force levels
Before the changes introduced in 1967, the labor force data
were not comparable for three earlier periods (1) Beginning
1953, as a result of the introduction of data from the 1950
census into tne 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 m nonagncultural 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 nonmstitutional 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 tne
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.
Beginning in January 1974, the methodology used to prepare independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutional
population was modified to an "inflation-deflation" approach.
This change in the derivation of the population estimates had
its greatest impact on estimates of 20-24 year-old males —
particularly those of Negro and other races—but had little effect
on 16 and over totals. Additional information on the adjustment
procedure appears in "CPS Population Controls Derived from
Inflation-Deflation Method of Estimation" in the February 1974
issue of Employment and Earnings.

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
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 1 9 7 1 " and "Revisions in the
Current Population Survey" in the February 1971 and February
1972 issues, respectively, of Employment and Earnings.

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. Nonmterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed
households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for
occupied sample households for which no information was
obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or
unavailability of the respondent for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by combinations of sample areas and,
within these, for six groups-two race categories (white, and

Effective July 1975, as a result of the immigration of Vietnamese refugees into the United States, the total and Negro-andother races independent population controls for persons 16
years and over were adjusted upward by 76,000—30,000 males
and 46,000 females. The addition of the refugees increased
the Negro-and-other races population by less than 1 percent

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.
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.

out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from a
complete census by less than the standard error. The chances are
about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice
the standard error.
Table A shows the average standard error for the major
employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for
past months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are
also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of change
for consecutive months is also shown in table A. The standard
errors of level shown in table A are acceptable approximations of
the standard errors of year-to-year change.

b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the sample proportions are applied to independent current estimates of the
population by age, sex, and color. Prior to January 1974 these
estimates were prepared by carrying forward the most recent
census data (1970) after taking account of subsequent aging
of the population, births, deaths, and migration between the
United States and other countries.
Beginning in 1974, the "inflation-deflation" method of
deriving independent population controls was introduced into
the CPS estimation procedures, in this procedure, the most
recent census population adjusted to include estimated net
census undercount by age, sex, and color (i.e., "inflated") is
carried forward to each subsequent month and later age by
adding births, subtracting deaths, and adding net migration.
These postcensa! population estimates are then "deflated" to
census level to reflect the pattern of net undercount in the
most recent census by age, sex, and color. The actual percent
change over time in the population in any age group is preserved.

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

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 differs 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. Table E shows the standard error of percentage
of monthly levels and consecutive month change for frequently
analyzed unemployment rate series. These errors are computed
from data for recent months. Errors on change for nonconsecutive months are slightly greater (by roughly a factor of 1.1 times
the month-to-month error).

Establishment data
(B, C, and D tables)

COLLECTION

Industry employment

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

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

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

Industry hours and earnings
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 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 hours of
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.

Average hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and hours for production and related workers in manufacturing and mining, construction workers in 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 supervisors
and all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders and
trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping,
maintenance, repair, janitorial and guard services, product
development, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g.,
power plant), and recordkeepmg and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees in
the contract construction division: Working supervisors, qualified
craft workers, 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,
repairers, salespersons, operators, drivers, physicians, lawyers,
accountants, nurses, social workers, research aids, teachers,
drafters, photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant workers, custodial workers, attendants, line installers and repairers,
laborers, janitors, guards, 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

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,
and labor turnover series are classified in accordance with the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau of the Budget,
1967.

any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind,
e.g., for old-age and unemployment insurance, group insurance,
withholding tax, bonds or union dues; also included is pay for
overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly by the
firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay period),
other pay not earned in the pay period reported (e.g., retroactive
pay), tips, and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other
payment in kind are excluded. "Fringe benefits" (such as health
and other types of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc.
paid by the employer) are also excluded.
Hours cover the hours paid for, during the pay period which
includes the 1 2th of the month, for production, construction, or
nonsupervisory workers. Included are hours paid for holidays
and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly
from the firm.
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.

scheduled hours. Such factors as unpaid absenteeism, labor
turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly
hours to be lower than scheduled hours of work for an
establishment. Group averages further reflect changes in the
workweek of component industries.
Average overtime hours

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

Gross average hourly and weekly earnings
Hours and earnings for total private
nonagricultural industries

Average hourly earning*: 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 have affected the average weekly earnings series.

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

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.

Spendable average weekly earnings
Average weekly hours

Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are
obtained by deductinq estimated Federal social security and
income taxes from average weekly earnings. The amount of

which pay was received and is different from standard or

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

Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay are
computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for
the industry group by the sum of total production-worker
hours and one-half of total overtime 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
1V2 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.
Indexed of aggregate weekly payrolls and hours

The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and hours are
prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1967 period. The hour aggregates
are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker
or nonsupervisory worker employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of hour aggregates and average hourly
earnings. At all higher levels of aggregation, hour and payroll
aggregates are the sum of the component aggregates.

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

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

Indexes of diffusion of changes in number of employees on
nonagricultural payroll

These indexes measure the percent of industries which
posted increases in employment over the specified time span.
The indexes are calculated from 172 unpublished seasonally
adjusted employment series (two-digit nonmanufacturing industires and three-digit manufacturing industries) covering all nonagricultural payroll employment in the private sector. A more




detailed discussion of these indexes appears in "Introduction of
Diffusion Indexes," in the December, 1974 issue of Employment
and Earnings.

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 F,
Summary of methods for computing industry statistics on
employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover.

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 SAMPLE

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 eel! 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.

Design

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 1974 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 due to benchmark adjustment for the last

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.




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 labor 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 able to
produce preliminary estimates each month for many industries
and for many geographic levels within a few weeks after reports
are mailed by respondents, and at a somewhat later date, statistics in considerably greater industrial detaii.

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 ssze 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 ot 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.

The BLS sample of establishment employment and payrolls is
the largest monthly sampling operation in the field of social
statistics. Table H 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

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
ndustry levels, particularly within manufacturing, changes in
classification are the major cause of benchmark adjustments.
Another cause of differences arises from improvements in the
quality of the benchmark data. Improvements brought abou^
by the most recent expansion in unemployment insurance
coverage were the major cause of differences in the March
1973 benchmark adjustments. (See article by Carol M. Utter,
BLS Fstablishment Estimates Revised to March 1973 Benchmark Levels, in the December 1974 issue.) Table J presents
the average percent revisions of the six most recent benchmarks (excluding the March 1973 adjustment) 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 J and for individual industries with the specified number of
employees in table K.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.

' Since a few establishments do not report payroll and
hour information, hours and earnings estimates may be based
on a slightly smaller sample than employment estimates.

estimates are based on a sample of 3,200 reports covering about
53 percent of employment in Federal establishments

Reliability of the employment estimates
Although the relatively large size of the BLS establishment
sample assures a high degree of accuracy, the estimates derived
from it may differ from the figures that would be obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules
and procedures. As discussed .under the previous section, a link
relative technique is used to estimate employment. This requires
the use of the previous month's estimate as the base in
computing the current month's estimate. Thus, small sampling
and response errors may cumulate over several months to
remove this accumulated error, the estimates are usually adjusted

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

If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an
estimate from the sample would differ from its benchmark by
less than the root-mean-square error. The chances are about 19
out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the
root-mean-square error.

experience of the last 6 years) of differences between final
estimates and benchmarks are presented in table K.

PRODUCTIVITY DATA

Assuming 12 month intervals between benchmark revisions.

(Tables C-10, C-11, and C-12) are compiled by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics from establishment data and from estimates of
compensation and gross national product supplied by the U.S.
Department of Commerce and the Federal Reserve Board.

For the two most recent months, estimates of employment,
hours, and earnings are preliminary and are so footnoted in the
tables. These figures are based on less than the total sample and
are revised when all the reports in the sample have been received.
Table L 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.

Definitions
Hours of wage and salary workers in nonagricultural establishments refer to hours paid for all employees—production
workers, nonsupervisory workers, and salaried workers.
Output is the constant dollar market value of final goods
and services produced in a given period. Indexes of output per
hour of labor input, or labor productivity, measure changes in
the volume of goods and services produced per unit of labor.
Compensation per hour includes wages and salaries of employees
plus employers contributions for social insurance and private
benefit plans. The data also include an estimate of wages, salaries,
and supplementary payments for the self-employed, except for
nonfinancial corporations, in which there are no self-employed.
Real compensation per hour is compensation per hour adjusted
to eliminate the effect of changes in the Consumer Price Index.
Unit labor costs measure the labor compensation cost required
to produce one unit of output and are derived by dividing compensation per hour by output per hour. Unit noniabor payments
include profits, depreciation, interest, and indirect taxes per unit
of output. They are computed by subtracting compensation of
all persons from the current dollar gross national product and
dividing by output. In these tables, unit noniabor costs contain
all the components of unit noniabor payments except unit
profits. Unit profits include corporate profits and inventory
valuation adjustments per unit of output.

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, 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 national
estimates. For employment, the sum of the State figures may
differ slightly from the equivalent official U.S. totals on a
national basis, because some States have more recent benchmarks than others and because of the effects of differing
industrial and geographic stratification.

Gross National Product. Computation of hours includes estimates
of nonfarm and farm proprietor hours.
Manufacturing data have been revised to reflect revisions
in the Federal Reserve Board index of Industrial Production. Output data are supplied by the Bureau of Economic
Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, and the Federal
Reserve Board. Quarterly measures have been adjusted by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics to annual estimates of output
(gross product originating) from the Bureau of Economic
Analysis. Compensation and hour data are from the Bureau
of Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The implicit price deflator is derived by dividing the current
dollar estimate of gross product by the constant dollar estimate,
making the deflator, in effect, a price index for gross product of
the sector reported.

Notes on the data
In the total private economy and the nonfarm sector, the
basis for the output measure employed in the computation
of output per hour is Gross Domestic Product rather than

Unemployment insurance data
(E tables)

Insured unemployment represents the number of persons
reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment
insurance program. \i includes some persons who are working
part time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and
household surveys. Excluded are persons who have exhausted
their benefit rights and workers who have not earned rights to
unemployment insurance. In general, excluded from coverage are
those persons 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
average covered employment in a 12-month period ending 6 to 8
months prior to the week of reference. Initial claims are notices
filed by those losing jobs covered by an unemployment
• nsurance 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 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 limitations of unemployment
insurance data should address their inquiries to Employment and
Training Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210.

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.

and female workers, 16-19 years and 20 years and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and 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 for all civilian workers is derived by
dividing the figure for total unemployment (the sum of four
seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the
civilian labor force (the sum of 12 seasonally adjusted age-sex
components). Other series, such as unemployment by duration or
employment by major occupational groups, are independently
adjusted.
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data
are based on a pattern shown by past experience. Once each
year (in January), these factors are revised in the light o' the
previous years' experience. Revised seasonally adjusted series
for major components of the labor force based on data through
December 1975, plus a short description of the methodology,
are published in the February 1976 Employment and Earnings.
Many additional series, which are either components or aggregates
of the series presented, are available from the BLS upon request.
For establishment data, the seasonalty adjusted series on
hours and hourly earnings, for industry groupings are computed by applying factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, utilizing the BLS Seasonal Factor Method.
However, seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees and production workers by industry division are

The seasonal adjustment methods used for these series are 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 two publications, BLS Seasonal Factor Method
(1966) and X-11 Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal Adjustment Program, Technical Paper No. 15, Bureau of the
Census (1967).
Data for the household series are seasonally adjusted by the
Census X-11 Method. For each of the three major tabor force
components—agricultural employment, nonagricultural employment, and unemployment—rhta for four age-sex groups (male

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
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 hours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggregate weekly
hours, seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate component industries and dividing by the 1967 base.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal
Government are based on a series which excludes the Christmas

temporary help employed by the Postal Service in December
The employment of these workers constitutes the only
significant seasonal change in Federal Government employment
during the winter months. Furthermore, the volume of such
employment may change substantially from year to year because
of administrative decisions by the Postal Service. Hence, it was
considered desirable to exclude this group from the data upon
which the seasonally adjusted series is based.
Labor turnover rates are seasonally adjusted by applying
appropriate seasonal factors to the rate. These factors are
derived by the Census X-11 method using the trading day
option. As a result these series are adjusted for the number of
times each day of the week occurs in a given month, as well
as for the month of the year.
The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishment
data reflect experience through June 1975. Seasonal factors
to be used for current adjustment appear in the October 1975
issue of Employment and Earnings.

and labor turnover series-concepts and scope, survey methods, and limitations-is contained in the
