Employment and Unemployment Developments,
January 1977
Employment continued to rise in January and unemployment declined sharply. The unemployment rate was
7.3 percent, down f r o m revised levels of 7.8 and 8.0 percent in December and November, respectively, and equal
to the 1976 low of last May.
The period covered by these statistics relates t o the
calendar week including the 12th. For January, this was
the week of the 9th through the 15th, which preceded
most of the economic problems associated w i t h the extremely bad weather and consequent fuel shortages. The
impact as far as the data reported for January are concerned was limited primarily t o reduced workweeks.
Total employment—as measured by the monthly survey of households—rose slightly in January t o 88.6 million, as an increase in nonagricultural employment more
than offset a cutback in farm employment. Since the
March 1975 low, the employed total has risen by 4.3 million. The civilian labor force dropped by 440,000 in
January to 95.5 million persons but was 2 million above its
year-ago level.
Nonfarm payroll employment—as measured by the
monthly survey of establishments—increased by 230,000
to 80.6 million. Payroll jobs have advanced by 4.1 million
since the June 1975 recession low point.
Unemployment
The number of persons unemployed declined by 560,000
in January t o 7.0 million, seasonally adjusted. As a result,
the overall jobless rate fell by half a percentage point from
December's revised figure of 7.8 percent t o 7.3 percent,
equaling the May 1976 low. The rate had been as high as
9.0 percent (also revised) at the height of the recession
(May 1975).
The over-the-month decline in joblessness occurred almost
entirely among adult workers. The unemployment rate for
adult men fell f r o m 6.2 t o 5.6 percent, while the rate for
adult women dropped f r o m 7.4 t o 6.9 percent. Paralleling
these reductions were sizeable decreases in the jobless rates
for household heads (both male and female), married men
and women, and full-time workers. The rate for teenagers, at
18.7 percent, has shown little change since last September.
Both white and black workers experienced reduced joblessness in January. The rate for white workers dropped
from 7.1 to 6.7 percent, and the black worker rate moved
from 13.4 to 12.5 percent. Rates for both groups were at
or near their May 1976 lows. Among the major occupational
groups, there was a sharp decline among blue-collar workers,
whose rate fell from 9.6 to 8.4 percent. The jobless rate for
manufacturing workers also dropped from 8.2 to 6.9 percent.
The average (mean) duration of unemployment, which
usually lags behind movements in total unemployment, remained essentially unchanged in January at 15.5 weeks,
despite a substantial decline in the number of persons
seeking work for 15 weeks or longer. There was also a sharp
reduction in the number unemployed 5-14 weeks, while
those jobless for less than 5 weeks was unchanged over
the month.
The January decline in unemployment occurred almost
exclusively among workers who had lost their last job and
was equally distributed among those who had been laid off
and those who had experienced job terminations.
Total employment and the labor force
Total employment increased slightly in January t o 88.6
million, seasonally adjusted. This advance was confined almost entirely t o adult men in nonagricultural industries.
Since October, total employment has risen by 820,000,
while the increase over the past year was 2.4 million.
The civilian labor force declined by 440,000 in January
to 95.5 million, as the sharp decline in unemployment outweighed the advance in employment. Since last January,
the civilian labor force has grown by 2.0 million w o r k e r s —
900,000 adult men and 1.1 million adult women.
The civilian labor force participation r a t e — t h e proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population either
working or seeking jobs—dropped from 61.9 t o 61.5 percent over the month but remained somewhat above the
level of a year earlier. Declines took place among both
adult men and women.
Industry payroll employment
Total nonagricultural payroll employment increased for
the third straight month, advancing by 230,000 from the
revised December level to 80.6 million (seasonally adjusted).
Payroll employment has grown by 2.1 million over the past
year and 735,000 since last October. Over-the-month gains
occurred in two-thirds of the industries that comprise the
BLS diffusion index of nonagricultural payroll employment.
December-January increases were posted in all major industry divisions except contract construction and State and
5
local government. The largest increase occurred in manufacturing (95,000), primarily among workers in durable
goods industries. In the service-producing sector, strong
pickups took place in services (85,000) and retail trade
(70,000). Jobs in contract construction declined by 65,000,
the result of the unusually bad weather conditions in many
parts of the country.
Hours
The average workweek for private nonagricultural production or nonsupervisory workers declined by 0.4 hour
in January to 35.8 hours (seasonally adjusted). The substantial cutback in hours was a direct result of reduced
operations in a large number of establishments caused by
weather conditions. Average hours in contract construction
were down 2.1 hours to 35.2 hours. The manufacturing
workweek was down 0.3 hour, over the month.
As a result of the cutback in average hours, the index of
aggregate hours for private nonagricultural production or
nonsupervisory workers declined sharply from its December
1976 high of 113.1 to 112.2 in January (1967=100).
Despite the drop, the index was 1.4 percent above its
year-ago level and 5.7 percent above the spring 1975 low.
The factory index was 94.4, down slightly from the Decem-
6
ber level; it was 9.0 percent above its March 1975 recession
low.
Hourly and weekly earnings
Average hourly earnings of private nonagricultural production or nonsupervisory workers increased 0.8 percent in
January, seasonally adjusted. Due to the cutback in hours
worked, however, average weekly earnings declined 0.3 percent over the month.
Before adjustment for seasonality, average hourly earnings were $5.06, up 4 cents from December. Average
weekly earnings declined $3.61 over the month to $179.12.
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 192.3 (1967=100) in January,
1.0 percent higher than in December. During the 12-month
period ended in December, the Hourly Earnings Index
in dollars of constant purchasing power rose 2.1 percent.
Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Labor Force Series
*by Thomas J. Plewes
The Bureau of Labor Statistics each year revises the seasonal adjustment factors for unemployment and other labor
force series derived f r o m the Current Population Survey
(household survey) to take into account data f r o m the
previous year. This year's revisions, incorporating data
through December 1976, were computed during the month
of January and are introduced in this issue of Employment
and Earnings. The revised seasonal factors for the 12 component series comprising the civilian labor force that are
used in computation of the overall unemployment rate are
shown on page 10. Seasonally adjusted series for the
revision period 1972-1976 are shown by month on pages
130-160. These replace those published in the February
1976 and subsequent issues of this publication, which were
based on data through December 1975.
Since 1973, the Census Bureau's X-11 method * has
been used to seasonally adjust the labor force data. For
most series, seasonality was computed based on the most
recent 10-year period. (For series w i t h fewer than 10 years
of observations, the full span of the series is used in computation of seasonality.) In keeping w i t h past practice,
however, revisions of the seasonally adjusted data were
limited exclusively t o the last 5 years; thus, only the seasonally adjusted series for the years 1972 forward have
been revised and are published here. Seasonally adjusted
data for most of these series for the period 1967-71 may
be found in the February 1976 issue of Employment
and
Earnings. Pre-1967 data, adjusted by the BLS Seasonal
Factor Method, 2 are also not 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. Upon request, all historical data
may be obtained f r o m the BLS.
The currently revised seasonally adjusted data continue t o be computed according to January 1976 modifications in procedures: Seasonality for teenage unemployment and for other unemployment series of which teenagers are the primary components are adjusted using the
additive procedure of the X-11 method. All other series
are adjusted using the multiplicative option of X - 1 1 .
The incorporation of the 1976 data and recomputation
of the seasonally adjusted data had a relatively minor
impact on the major published series in 1976. For example,
the seasonally adjusted overall unemployment rate was
unaffected In 9 months of the year and changed by
0.1 percentage point in the other 3 months (June,
November, and December). Annual averages, of course,
are unaffected by the revision of seasonal factors since
they are calculated f r o m 12 monthly observations based
on unadjusted numbers.
Method of adjustment
The X-11 seasonal adjustment method is an adaptation
of the traditional ratio-to-moving method, and allows for
changing seasonal patterns. The original data are regarded
as the combination of several components: A trendcycle, 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 and includes sampling
errors and short-term fluctuations due to unforseeable
events not following any consistent pattern (unusual
weather, strikes, etc.).
The X-11 method includes t w o optional procedures.
One procedure, called multiplicative, assumes that the
original series is the product of the trend-cycle, both
seasonal and irregular. The other, termed additive, assumes
that the original series is the sum of the trend-cycle, seasonal, and irregular components. 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 that factor f r o m the original
in the additive procedure.
A centered 12-month moving average of the original
data is used as the first estimate of the trend-cycle. This is
divided into (or subtracted f r o m , in the case of the additive
procedure) the original value to isolate the seasonalirregular. In the X-11 method, a 5-term weighted moving
average of these seasonal-irregulars for the same month of
successive years provides initial estimates of the seasonal
factors. Each seasonal factor divided into (subtracted
from) the corresponding seasonal-irregular is an estimate

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).

Bulletin 1910 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1976), Appendix~A.
7
of the irregular component, which at this stage includes
some residual trend-cycle. A refined trend-cycle is then
computed using 9-, 13-f or 23-term Henderson curve weights
to construct a moving average of the first preliminary
seasonally-adjusted series; seasonal factors and irregulars
are then computed. A 5-year moving standard deviation
(sigma) of the irregular is computed. Individual irregulars
divided by these sigmas are classified by size. The X-11
method assigns graduated weights to the observations based
on these ratios. Small deviations (those between 0 and 1.5
sigma) are accepted; that is, they receive a weight of
" 1 . " Deviations exceeding 2.5 sigma are rejected and
receive zero weights. Intermediate deviations (those between 1.5 and 2.5 sigma) receive weights of more than
zero and less than one.
The weights are used in two ways. They serve as
auxiliary weights in the various moving averages used
in computing seasonal factors so that the effect of each
aberrant figure is reduced in inverse proportion to its weight.
In addition, they are used in computing modified original
values, where the amount of modification varies inversely
with the weight. These refinements eliminate most aberrations in the trend-cycle and seasonal components and instead
make them part of the irregular components. The modified original series then is averaged to obtain a trend-cycle.
Processes similar to those described earlier are used to
obtain revised seasonal factors and irregular components.
(For these and subsequent estimates of seasonal factors,
center-weighted moving averages of up to seven terms
are applied to the seasonal-irregulars.) Revised modified
original data are once again seasonally adjusted by repeating this process to obtain a final set of factors and the
seasonally adjusted data.
Aggregation procedure
After the components of a series are seasonally adjusted,
the values derived are combined to provide seasonally adjusted values for many other series. For example, civilian
labor force and unemployment rate statistics, as well as
the major employment and unemployment estimates, are
computed by this method of aggregation. Each of the
three major labor force components—agricultural employment, 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 obtained 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).
Alternative adjustment methods
Several alternative methods for seasonally adjusting the
series with the X-11 method, each based on a different set
8
of assumptions regarding the behavior over time in the
series, have been suggested. While the Bureau of Labor
Statistics uses as the official rate the one described above,
several alternative computations are provided on a regular
basis to illustrate the degree of uncertainty inherent in
the seasonal adjustment procedure. The results of these
various options appear in table 1, a version of which the
BLS has been preparing for distribution for some time and
which now appears in the monthly Employment Situation
press release.
Included among the various options are five alternative
age-sex procedures and four based on other aggregations, as
well as a direct adjustment of the rate and a range of rates.
The all-multiplicative adjustment (column 3) is the method
that was used prior to the introduction of the 1976 revisions. The year-ahead adjustment (column 5) based on
projection of the moving seasonal trend in the component
series—and the concurrent adjustment (column 6)—which
reflects the results of a monthly adjustment of component
series each and every month as the current month's data
become available—are useful only in a current context
and therefore are shown only for January 1977. In an
effort to control for the possible influence of the large
cyclical swings in the 1974-76 period, an adjustment
based on stable seasonal factors for each of the unemployment components is shown in column 7. The stablefactor method provides for equally-weighted averages of
the modified seasonal irregulars for each month over the
period 1967-73.
The results of alternative aggregation procedures are
shown in columns 8-11 and indicate rates obtained by
aggregation of directly adjusted duration categories; reasons
for unemployment categories; total (employment and unemployment); and a residual adjustment (deriving unemployment as the difference between directly adjusted labor
force and employment).

has been considerably expanded over previous years. Nearly
500 seasonally adjusted series—both components and
aggregates—are included. Series newly introduced include
civilian labor force participation rates by age, race, and sex;
labor force status of black (only) workers; major activity
of employed and unemployed persons 16-21 years of age;
job losers on layoff; and labor force status of household
heads, by presence of relatives in the household. Seasonallyadjusted transportation equipment operatives and other
operatives are also available for the first time. (The combined series—directly adjusted total operatives—is available upon request to permit historical comparisons.
There is a large number of other series, primarily components and aggregates of series published in this* volume,
which have not been included due to space limitations.
These additional series may be obtained in printed copy
f r o m the Bureau upon request. All seasonally adjusted
series are also available in a one-reel tape file. This file
includes approximately 1,800 original and seasonallyadjusted monthly and quarterly series—as well as recent
seasonal factors for directly adjusted series—from date of
inception of the series through 1976. Inquiries concerning
this file, as well as any questions regarding these adjustment procedures, should be addressed to the Data Services
Group, Office of Current Employment Analysis, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212.

Interim Revision of Selected Establishment Series
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is introducing in this
issue of Employment and Earnings several revisions in its
establishment series. These revisions are necessary in order
to correct the employment levels of a few industries that
did not adequately reflect the formation of new businesses
during the recovery phase of the 1973-75 recession.
Normally, the BLS adjusts the levels of its establishment
payroll series annually t o reflect the most recent complete
employment counts, called benchmarks. Delays in the
completion of the necessary benchmark tabulations, however, prevented the scheduled March 1975 benchmark
revision. The introduction of a new coding structure—the
1972 SIC —has necessitated the recoding of all establishment reports and is largely responsible for these delays.
Recent comparisons w i t h the March 1975 benchmarks for
broad industry levels have indicated that discrepancies were
very small, Therefore, the Bureau will not introduce a
March 1975 benchmark revision; rather a complete revision
of all the establishment series based on March 1976 benchmarks will be made available in the Fall of 1977, at which
time the series will be converted t o the 1972 SIC.
The revision introduced in this report is an interim revision of selected employment series which deviated significantly from their true levels in the period subsequent t o
March 1975. Revised levels are based on December 1975
universe counts, the latest available at this time. Only a
small number of series are affected by this interim revision:
the contract construction division and its component indus-
tries, grocery, meat, and vegetable stores (SIC 541-3),
restaurants (SIC 58) and hotels (SIC 701). Also included in
the revision are the employment estimates for State and
local governments which have been adjusted to the October
1975 Census Survey of Governments as modified w i t h data
obtained through a special study of employment generated
by Federal funds. The total trade, retail trade, services,
government, goods-producing, service-producing, total private and total nonagricultural series are all affected because
of the revisions in their components. All other series continue to be based on the March 1974 benchmarks.
When adjusting most series, the difference in employment
count is wedged for the period between the new benchmark
month and the one which was previously used. For this
revision, however, the difference between the December
1975 universe counts and the corresponding estimates was
wedged back t o July 1975, the point considered to be the
beginning of the deviations in the sample-based estimates.
No revisions were necessary in the hours and earnings estimates for the detailed industries. Since employment figures
are used as weights in computing the hours and earnings
averages, revisions in employment may result in the reallocation of weights which, in t u r n , may slightly change
the averages of the broader levels.
All series revised by the interim revision are published on
the following pages for the period July 1975 through October 1976. The B and C tables in the main body of this publication reflect new levels.

ESTABLISHMENT SERIES
The household and establishment data supplement one
another, each providing significant types of information that
the other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for
example, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably de-
168
Hours of work
The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by em-
ployers. In the household survey data, all persons with a job
but not at work are excluded from the hours distributions and
the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are
included and assigned the number of hours for which they
were paid during the reporting period.
COMPARABILITY OF THE HOUSEHOLD
DATA WITH OTHER SERIES
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from the
household survey includes all persons who did not have a job
at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were
waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid
off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims,
prepared by the 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.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion
of persons under 16 in the Statistical Research Service (SRS)
series and the treatment of dual jobholders who are counted
more than once if they work on more than one farm during the
reporting period. There are also wide differences in sampling
techniques and collecting and estimating methods, which
cannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences
in level and trend of the two series.
COMPARABILITY OF THE PAYROLL EMPLOYMENT
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.
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.
Household data
(A tables)
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population, the
personal, occupational, and other characteristics of the employed, the unemployed, and persons not in the labor force,and related data are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the
Census in its Current Population Survey (CPS). A detailed
description of this survey appears in Concepts and Methods
Used in Manpower Statistics from the Current Population Survey. BLS Report 463. 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 calen-
dar week, Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th
of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions, members of the Armed Forces, and
persons under 14 years of age are not covered in the regular
monthly enumerations and are excluded from the population
and labor force statistics shown in this report. Data on members
of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories
'total noninstitutional population' and total labor force," are
obtained from the Department of Defense.
Each month, 47,000 occupied units are eligible for interview. About 2,000 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
8,000 sample units in an average month which are visited but
found to be vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of
169
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 earlier.
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 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
170
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, race, 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 race and educational
attainment.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 years and over
who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These
persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term
physical or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes for the most part retired persons, those reported as too
old to work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for
whom the survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not
reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid
family work (less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the
labor force.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous work
experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for a job at
the time of interview, and reasons for not looking for work are
compiled on a quarterly basis. As of January 1970, the detailed
questions for persons not in the labor force are asked only in
those households that are in the fourth and eighth months of
the sample, i.e., the "outgoing" groups, those which had been
in the sample for 3 previous months and would not be in for the
subsequent month. Between 1967 and 1969, the detailed notin-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 last full-time civilian job
lasting 2 weeks or more. The occupation and industry groups
used in data derived from the CPS household interviews are
defined as in the 1970 Census of Population. Information on
the detailed categories included in these groups is available
upon request.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salary
workers," subdivided into private and government workers,
"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.
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 is equal to the number of households.
Vietnam-era veterans are those who served in the Armed
Forces of the United States between August 5, 1964, and April
30, 1975. 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
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 unemployed persons looking for full-time work lost an average of
37.5 hours, (2) that those looking for part-time work lost the
average number of hours actually worked by voluntary parttime 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.
Race. White and black and other are terms used to describe
the race of workers. The black and other category, which until
recently had been identified as "Negro and other races" and
prior to 1969 as "nonwhite," includes ail 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
black and other population group were black, the remainder
were American Indians, Eskimos. Orientals, and ail other nonwhite groups. The term "black" is used in this volume when the
relevant data are provided exclusively for the black population.
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 96 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 are primarily one of going to school
or not. Statistics on major activities are published every month
in table A-7 for 16-21 year-olds by employment status, race,
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 were also looking for
other jobs; previously, these persons had been classified as
unemployed; (3) sharpening the questions on hours of work,
duration of unemployment, and self-employment in order to
increase their reliability.
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 15-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 for Employment
and Unemployment" 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.
Noncomparability 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 the estimation procedure, population levels were
raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment, and
171
agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting
the figures for totals and males; other categories were relatively
unaffected; (2) beginning 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and
Hawaii resulted in an increase of about 500,000 in the population and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of this in
nonagricuitural 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 noninstitutionai 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 black and other groups but had
little effect on totals. The adjustment resulted in the reduction
of nearly 300,000 in the white population and an increase of
the same magnitude in the black and other population. Civilian
labor force and totai employment figures were affected to a
lesser degree; the white labor force was reduced by 150,000,
and the black and other labor force rose by about 210,000.
Unemployment levels and rates were not significantly affected.
tion, 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 occupation 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 always be made for 1972 and subsequent years
with earlier periods. However, revisions in the occupational
ciassification system as well as in the CPS questionnnaire are
believed to have had but a negligible impact on unemployment
rates.
Additional information on changes in the occupational classification system of the CPS appears in "Revisions in Occupational Classifications for 1971" and "Revisions in the Current
Population Survey' in the February 1971 and February 1972
issues, respectively, of Employment and Earnings.
Beginning in January 1974, the methodology used to prepare independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutionai
population was modified to an "inflation-deflation 1 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 the black and other population —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.
Effective July 1975, as a result of the immigration of Vietnamese refugees into the United States, the total and blackand-other independent population controls for persons 16
years and over were adjusted upward by 76,000 — 30,000
males and 46,000 females. The addition of the refugees increased the black-and-other population by less than 1 percent
in any age-sex group, and all of the changes were in the "other"
population.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Changes in occupational classification system
Beginning with 1971, the comparability of occupational
employment data was affected as a result of changes in census
occupational classifications introduced into the Current Population Survey (CPS), These changes stemmed from an exhaustive review of the classification system to be used for the 1970
Census of Population This review the most comprehensive
since the 1340 census, waste reduce the size of large groups,
to be more specific about genera! and not elsewhere classified" groups, and to orovide information on emerging significant
occupations. Differences in March 1970 employment levels
tabJ ated 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
22C.000 or less.
An additional major group was created by splitting the
operatives category into two: operatives, except transport, and
transport equipment operatives. Separate data for these two
groups first became available in January 1972. At the same
time, several changes in titles, as well as in order of presenta-
172
Under the estimating methods used in the CPS, all of the
results for a given month become available simultaneously and
are based on returns from the entire panel of respondents.
There are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark data on labor force, employment, or unemployment.
Therefore, revisions of the historical data are not an inherent
feature of this statistical program.
1 Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed
households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for
occupied sample households for which no information was
obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or
unavailability of the respondent for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by combinations of sample areas and,
within these, for six groups—two race categories (white, and
black and other) 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, race, 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 race-residence distribution of the population.
This step takes into account the differences existing at the time
of the 1970 census between the race-residence distribution for
the Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the sample pro-
portions are applied to independent current estimates of the
population by age, sex, and race. 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 race (i.e., "inflated") is carried forward to each subsequent month and later age by adding births,
subtracting deaths, and adding net migration. These postcensal
population estimates are then "deflated" to census level to
reflect the pattern o f net undercount in (he most recent census
by age, sex, and race. The actual percent change over time \n
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-fo-month changes especially
and of the levels for most items also.

Reliability of the estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may differ
from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and
procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that
is, the variations that might occur by chance because only a
sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are about 2
out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from a
complete census by less than the standard error. The chances
are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would foe less than
twice the standard error.
Table A shows the average standard error for the major employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for
past months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are
also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of
change for consecutive months is also shown in table A. The
standard errors of level shown in table A are acceptable
approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.
The figures presented in table B are to be used for other
characteristics and are approximations of the standard errors
of all such characteristics. They should be interpreted as providing an indication of the order of magnitude of the standard
errors rather than as the precise standard error for any specific
item.
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 ss about 133,000. Consequently, the chances are
about 68 out of 100 that the sample estimate differs by less
than 133,000 from the figure which would have been obtained
from a complete count of the number of persons working the
given number of hours Using the 133,000 as the standard
error of the monthly level in table C, it may be seen that the
standard error 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

subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are relatively more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates

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

are slightly greater (by roughly a factor of 1.1 times the monthto-month error).

Establishment data
(B, C, and D tables)
Payroli reports provide current information on wage and
salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonagricultural establishments, by industry and geographic location.
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.
Federal-State cooperation
Shuttle schedules
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.
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.
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 informtion 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.
Industry employment
Employment data, except those for the Federal Government
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay
for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. For Federal Government establishments, employment
figures represent the number of persons who occupied positions
on the last day of the calendar month. Intermittent workers are
counted if they performed any service during the month.
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.
Industry hours and earnings
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 ail 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 plants own use
(e.g., power plant), and recordkeeping and other services
closely associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees in
the contract construction division: Working 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 aides,
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
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 12th of the month, for production, construction, or
nonsupervisory workers. Included are hours paid for holidays
and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly
from the firm.
Overtime hours cover hours worked by production or related workers for which overtime premiums were paid because
the hours were in excess of the number of hours of either the
straight-time workday or the workweek during the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month. Weekend and holiday
hours are included only if overtime premiums were paid Hours
for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other
similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.
Gross average hourly and weekly earnings, Average hourly
earnings are on a "gross" basis, reflecting not only changes in
basic hourly and incentive wage rates but also such variable
factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work and
changes in output of workers paid on an incentive plan. Shifts
in the volume of employment between relatively high-paid and
low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual
establishments also affect the general earnings averages.
Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in
average hourly earnings for individual industries
Averages of nourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings
are the actual return to the worker for a stated period of time;
rates are the amount 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
175
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, iabor 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
Average weekly hours. The workweek information relates to
the average hours for which pay was received and is different
from standard or scheduled hours. Such factors as unpaid absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and stoppages
cause average weekly hours to be lower than scheduled hours
of work for an establishment. Group averages further reflect
changes in the workweek of component industries.
Average overtime hours. The overtime hours represent the
portion of the gross average weekly hours which were in
excess of regular hours and for which overtime premiums were
paid. If an employee worked on a paid holiday at regular rates,
receiving as total compensation his holiday pay plus straighttime pay for hours worked that day, no overtime hours would
be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily
move in the same direction from month-to-month; for example,
overtime premiums may be paid for hours in excess of the
straight-time workday although less than a full week is worked.
Diverse trends at the industry-group level also may be caused
by a marked change in gross hours for a component industry
where little or no overtime was worked in both the previous
and current months. In addition, such factors as stoppages,
absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same
influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
Hours and earnings for total private nonagricultural industries.
The 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 II, 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
Commence Commission and relate to all employees except
executives, officials, and staU assistants (ICC group I) who received pay during the month. Gross average hourly earnings
are computed bv 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
176
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. Spendable average weekly
earnings in current dollars are obtained by deducting estimated
Federal social security and income taxes from average weekly
earnings. The amount of income tax liability depends on the
number of dependents supported by the worker and his marital
status, as well as on the level of his gross income. To reflect
these variables, spendable earnings are computed for a worker
with no dependents and a married worker with three dependents.
The computations are based on gross average weekly earnings
for ail 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 ail 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,5' in the Monthly
Labor Review for April 1971. Reprints of this article are available upon request 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 onehalf 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 mdthods eliminate only
the earnings due to overtime paid for at V/2 times the straighttime 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.
indexes 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.
Indexes of diffusion of changes in number of employees on
nonagricultural payrolls. These indexes measure the percent
of industries which posted increases in employment over the
specified time span. The indexes are calculated from 1 72 unpublished seasonally adjusted employment series (two-digit
nonmanufacturing industries and three-digit manufacturing
industries) covering aii 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.

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 fullor 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 roil, 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 80 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.
ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate
employment for the industry statistics are (1) the use of the
From a sample composed of establishments reporting for
both the previous and current months, the ratio of current
month employment to that of the previous month is computed.
This is called a link relative. The estimates of employment (all
employees, including production and nonproduction workers
together) for the current month are obtained by multiplying the
estimates for the previous month by these "link relatives/' !n
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
Size and regional stratification
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment
and/or by region, and the stratified production or nonsupervisory worker data are used to weight the hours and earnings
into broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an employment hours, or earnings series, as the
term is used in the summary of computational methods, may be
a whole industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size
stratum of a region within an industry.
Benchmark adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically with comprehensive counts of employment which provide "benchmarks"
for the various nonagricultural industries, and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The industry estimates are
currently projected from March 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. Benchmark data for the residua! are obtained from the
records of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and a number ot 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 me sample trends.
Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment; Use 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 3 years ss shown in table G.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which the
series has been adjusted are subject to revision. To provide
users of the data with a convenient reference source for the
revised data, the BLS publishes as soon as possible after each
benchmark revision a summary volume of employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover statistics, entitled Employment
and Earnings, United States

THE SAMPLE
Design
The sampling plan used in the current employment statistics
program is known as "sampling proportionate to average size
of establishment.'' This design is an optimum allocation design
among strata since the sampling variance is proportional to the
178
average size of establishments. The universe of establishments
is stratified first by industry and then within each industry by
size of establishment in terms of employment. For each industry, the number of sample units is distributed among the
size class cells on the basis of average employment per establishment in each cell. In practice, this is equivalent to distributing the predetermined total number of establishments required
in the sample among the cells on the basis of the ratio of employment in each cell to total employment in the industry.
Within each noncertainty stratum the sample members are
selected at random.
Under this type of design, large establishments fall into the
sample with certainty. The size of the sample for the various
industries is determined empirically on the basis of experience
and of cost considerations. In a manufacturing industry in
which a high proportion of total employment is concentrated in
relatively few establishments, a large percentage of total employment is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample
design for such industries provides for a complete census of
the large establishments with only a few chosen from among
the smaller establishments or none at all if the concentration of
employment is great enough. On the other hand, in an industry
in which a large proportion of total employment is in small
establishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all
large establishments and also for a substantial number of the
small ones. Many industries in the trade and services divisions
fall into this category. To keep the sample to a size which can
be handled by available resources, it is necessary to accept
samples in these divisions with a smaller proportion of universe
employment than is the case for most manufacturing industries.
Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing
divisions generally show less fluctuation from regular cyclical
or seasonal patterns than establishments in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples (in terms of employment) generally produce reliable estimates.
In the context of the BLS employment and 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 detail.
Coverage
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 from
the proportions shown. Table I shows the approximate coverage,
in terms of employment, of the labor turnover sample.

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 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 leveis of
estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks). In
fact, at the more detailed industry levels, particularly within
manufacturing, changes in classification are the major cause of
benchmark adjustments. Another cause of differences arises
from improvements in the quality of the benchmark data. Improvements brought about 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 Establishment 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.
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
(RMSE:
V (Standard Deviation) 2 + (Bias) 2 ;
If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an
estimate from the sample would differ from its benchmark by
less than the root-mean-square error. The chances are about
19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the
root-mean-square error.
Approximations of the root-mean-square errors (based on
the experience of the last 6 years) of differences between final
estimates and benchmarks are presented in table K.
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-to-month 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.

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.
For the States and the areas shown in the B and C sections
of this periodical, all the annual average data for the detailed
industry statistics currently published by each cooperating
State agency are presented (from the earliest date of availability
of each series) in a summary volume published annually by
the BLS.
PRODUCTIVITY DATA
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.
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 selfemployed, except for nonfinancia! 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 nonlabor
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 nonlabor costs contain all the components of unit nonlabor payments except unit profits. Unit profits includes corporate profits and inventory valuation adjustments per unit of output.
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.

State and area unemployment data
(E table)
Since November 1972, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has
been responsible for developing the concepts and methods
used by State employment security agencies to estimate State
and local area labor force, employment, and unemployment. In
December 1975, the Office of Management and Budget extended this responsibility to include the publication of State
and local area labor force and unemployment estimates. Prior
to 1972, State agencies prepared estimates using a method
developed by the Department of Labor in 1950, generally
referred to as the Handbook method (BES Report No. R-185).
The new system combines the Handbook method with a set of
procedures based on the concepts and definitions used in the
national Current Population Survey (GPS). Improvements have
been in two areas: (1) The estimating methodology previously
used by State agencies has been modified to more closely approximate CPS definitions; and (2) The State-prepared monthly
estimates are benchmarked to annual average totals from
the CPS.
Federal-State cooperative program
Labor force and unemployment estimates for States, labor
market areas (LMA), and other areas specifically defined for
fund allocation purposes are developed under a Federal-State
cooperative program and transmitted each month to BLS. The
local area unemployment estimates approved by BLS are the
basis for determining eligibility of an area for benefits under
Federal economic assistance programs, such as those established by the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act
(CETA).
ESTIMATING METHODS
Monthly employment and unemployment estimates are prepared in several stages:
1. Preliminary estimate -Employment: The total employment
estimate is based primarily on data from the survey of establishments which produces an estimate of payroll employment. This
place-of-work estimate must be adjusted to refer to place of
residence as used in the Current Population Survey. Adjustment
factors for the major categories of employment by class of
worker and industry have been developed on the basis of employment relationships which existed at the time of the 1970
Decennial Census. These factors are applied to the payroll employment estimates for the current period to obtain adjusted
employment estimates.
2 Preliminary estimate — Unemployment: In the current month,
the estimate of unemployment is an aggregate of the estimates

3. Adjustment tor additiviiy. Using the Handbook method,
vStates prepare independent employment and unemployment
estimates for the State, and for many substate areas An adjustment is applied to all substate estimates to ensure that the substate estimates add to the independent State totals. Specific
additivity adjustment procedures vary from State to State, but
are generally one of the three following basic methods (a) if a
State is comprised of mutually exclusive and exhaustive
LMA's, then the difference between the independent State
estimate and the sum of the estimates for the LMA's is prorated
over all LMA's in the State, to produce a set of substate estimates which add to the independent State estimate: (b) If the
181
mutually exclusive LMA's do not exhaust the geographic area
of the State, then the difference between the independent
State estimate and the sum of the LMA estimates, or residual,
becomes the balance-of-State estimate; (c) If a State contains
LMA's which are benchmarked independently (see below),
estimates for these areas are subtracted from the independent
State estimate and the additivity adjustment is then applied to
the remaining areas in the balance of the State.
4. Benchmark correction and extrapolation procedures. Once
each year all monthly estimates prepared by State employment
security agencies under the Handbook method are adjusted,
or benchmarked, by BLS to the annual average estimates resulting from the CPS. This adjustment is necessary because
the State-prepared estimates are not as reliable as the CPS
estimates, due to differences in State Ul laws, the structural
limitations of the Handbook method, and errors in the Ul data.
The benchmarked estimates are produced in three stages.
First, the monthly Handbook estimates are adjusted by the
ratio of the CPS and Handbook annual averages. Second, the
difference between the ratio of annual averages for two consecutive years is wedged into the monthly estimates in order to
minimize the disturbance to the original series. Finally, the
second-stage estimates are forced into agreement with CPS
annual averages.
The benchmarked estimates are extrapolated into the current year by applying the latest relevant correction factor to the
current Handbook estimates of employment and unemployment.
The employment factor used in year (t) is the quotient of the
December employment benchmarked and Handbook estimates
in year (t-1). The unemployment factor for year (t) is the algebraic difference between the December unemployment benchmarked and Handbook estimates in year (t-1). The preliminary
estimate in the current year is then the result of applying the
correction factor by multiplication (for employment), or by addition (for unemployment) to the current Handbook estimate.
Unemployment insurance data
(F tables)
Insured unemployment represents the number of persons
reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment
insurance program. It includes some persons who are working
part time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and
household surveys. Excluded are persons who have exhausted
their benefit rights and workers who have not earned rights to
unemployment insurance. In general, excluded from coverage
are those persons 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 employment is the number of insured unemployed
expressed as a percent of average covered employment in a
12-month period ending 6 to 8 months prior to the week of
reference. Initial claims are notices filed by those losing jobs
covered by an unemployment insurance program that they are
starting a period of unemployment. A claimant who 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 p a t t e r n that is, changes in a seasonally adjusted series—it is important
to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation
based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have
a broader margin of possible error than the original data on
which they are based, since they are subject not only to sampling and other errors, but in addition, are affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself. Seasonally
adjusted series for selected labor force and establishment data
are published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment 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
182
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 utilizing the Census Bureau's X-11 Method. Each January, seasonal
adjustment factors for unemployment and other labor force
series are revised to take into account data from the previous
year. In January 1976, in addition to the routine annual
revisions, the Bureau introduced a modification in the procedure
for seasonally adjusting teenage unemployment and those few
other unemployment series (e.g., unemployed new entrants) of
which teenagers are the exclusive or major part. All other
series are adjusted following past procedures.
All civilian labor force and unemployment rate statistics, as
well as the major employment and unemployment estimates,
are computed by aggregating independently adjusted series.
For example, for each of the three major labor force components—agricultural employment, nonagricultural employment,
and unemployment—data for four sex-age 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 sex-age
components) by the civilian labor force (the sum of 12 seasonally adjusted sex-age components).
Revised seasonally adjusted series for major components
of the labor force based on data through December 1976, new
seasonal factors for the 12 major components of the civilian
labor force, and a description of the seasonal adjustment
methodology are published in the February 1977 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, seasonally adjusted series for all
employees, production workers, hours, and earnings, are computed using the BLS Seasonal Factor Method. Seasonal adjustment factors are directly applied to the component levels.
Seasonally adjusted totals for most of these series are then
obtained by taking a weighted average of the seasonally adjusted data for the component series. Seasonally adjusted
average weekly earnings are the product of seasonally adjusted
average hourly earnings and seasonally adjusted 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.
For labor turnover rates, seasonal adjustment factors are
applied directly to the component series These series are then
aggregated to obtain total levels (total accessions and total
separations). 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 August 1976. Seasonal factors
to be used for current adjustment appear in the December
1976 issue of Employment and Earnings.
Additional information concerning the preparation of the labor force, employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover series—concepts and scope, survey methods, and limitationsis contained in the Handbook of Methods, BLS Bulletin 1910.
