also affect the hours and earnings series because
employment levels are u s e d as weights. All
industry statistics shown in this report are adjusted to a March 1965 benchmark. Data from
April 1965 forward are subject to revision at the
time of the next benchmark adjustment. The user

THE

EMPLOYMENT SITUATION IN

1966
By Paul M. Ryscavage*

The Nation1 s unemployment rate fell from 4. 6 percent in 1965 to 3. 9 percent
in 1966--the first year it had been below 40 0 percent since the Korean war. l Although
the annual decrease in the rate of unemployment was approximately the same as in
1964 and 1965, the month-to-month changes during 1966 indicated that the decline in
the unemployment rate has leveled off. The demand for labor remained strong
throughout the year, but the mo nth-to-month gains in nonfarm employment during the
latter half of the year were smaller than the gains in the first half.
Other significant developments in the employment situation were:
l0 Total employment rose by 1. 9 million0 Employment growth was larger than
the expansion in the labor force and unemployment was reduced by 480, 000. The
drop in unemployment was about the same as that from 1964 to 1965O
20
Manufacturing employment continued its upward advance in the first half of
1966 and thereafter slowed to a more moderate pace* Manufacturing employment
averaged 19 million--up a million from 1965 and the'largest annual gain in 15 years,
3.
After reaching record postwar levels of 41. 5 hours (seasonally adjusted) in
the early part of the year, the average weekly hours of factory production workers
leveled off and edged slightly downward to 41.0. Nevertheless, factory hours in 1966
averaged 41 o 4--the highest level since World War II0 Average weekly and hourly
earnings rose to new highso
4.
Another substantial reduction was made in long-term unemployment in 1966,
and the employment gain for teenagers was the largest on record0 Although the jobless
rate for Negroes continued to decline in 1966, the improvement was not as strong as
that recorded by whites.
5.
The tightness in the job market, evident in early 1966, eased slightly in
mid-year, but shortages continued to exist in some occupations, industries, and areas
throughout the yearo
Although 1966 was the sixth consecutive year of economic expansion, it is obvious
that it differed in important respects from the previous 5 years. The 1961-65 period
had witnessed a smooth acceleration in aggregate demand and total output, but in 1966
national production reached near-capacity levels as demand continued to rise under
the growing influence of military expenditures and high levels of business investment
in plant and equipment. Inflationary pressures, evident in late 1965, materialized
more fully by the opening months of 1966. For the first time in the course of the
expansion, demand exceeded final output0 By mid-year the situation had eased and
growth in real gross national product fell to an annual average rate of 3 percent,
compared to rates of 6 and 7 percent at the end of 1965 and in early 1966.

Statistic so

Levels and year-to-year changes cited in this article are annual averages
unless otherwise specified0




For the year as a whole, many of the major employment and unemployment
indicators were at their most favorable levels in 13 years, although their rates of
improvement in 1966 had slowed significantly.
Employment Growth
Employment totaled 74. 1 million in 1966, up 1.9 million from 1965. The gain
matched that of a year earlier and was 300, 000 greater than the increase of 2 years
ago* Teenagers accounted for two-fifths of the total gain in 1966, while adult females
accounted for 45 percent. Adult males accounted for only one out of every eight new
workers in 1966; their gain (250,000) was one-half as large as in 1965.
The comparatively small employment gain among adult male workers reflects
the sustained high level of economic activity that the Nation has experienced since
early 1961 and the consequent diminishing number of unemployed workers in this agesex group. By the first quarter of 1966, their jobless rate (seasonally adjusted) was
down to 2. 6 percent, and only 1. 2 million were unemployed. Throughout the remainder
of the year, the rate and level of unemployment for these workers remained virtually
unchanged. Other evidence of near full employment was manifested in several of the
key unemployment measures for this age-sex group:
1. The jobless rate for married men averaged 1.9 percent in 1966--the lowest
since this series began in 1955O
2O Only lo 1 million adult males in 1966 were jobless and looking for work,
compared to nearly twice that number in 1963.
30 Twenty-five percent had been looking for work for more than 14 weeks.
This compared to 31 percent in 1965.
4, Only half a million had been previously employed in a white-collar or
skilled occupation in 1966, compared to 750, 000 in 1963O
5O The number on economic part time (due to slack work, inability tp find
full-time work, etc. ) in 1966 totaled 850,000, compared to l0 2 million in 1963.
The available supply of labor in this critical age-sex group was drawn thin even
in early 1966; this fact prompted employers to hire more women and teenagers 0 Adult
female employment rose by 900, 000 in 1966, to 23. 5 milliono The expansion was
greater than that of a year earlier. Teenage employment recorded its largest annual
gain on record, rising by 750, 000 to 6. 9 million. In 1965, teenage employment rose
by 550,000 and, over the 1963-64 period, by 250,000.
Full-Time and Part-Time Workers0 Of the total employment gain in 1966,
approximately 75 percent was among workers on full-time work schedules. Although
this proportion, as well as the absolute change, was smaller than that of a year earlier
(95 percent), the proportion finding full-time jobs in 1966 continued to be above the
trend of the late 19501 s and early I9601 s.

The slowdown in full-time employment growth was more likely the result of the tight
labor supply condition for adult males than of a decline in the demand for full-time
workers.
The age-sex composition of the full-time employment expansion has undergone
a marked change in the last 3 years 0 Adult males accounted for one-half of the
increase in 1964, but in 1966 they contributed only one-sixth to the totalo Teenagers,
on the other hand, made up only a negligible amount of the gain 2 years ago, compared
to roughly 32 percent this yearo These developments reflect the changing nature of
the labor supply over the last 2 years--both the shortage of adult men available for
work and the changing composition of the teenage labor force, a much higher proportion of whom were 18-19 year-olds in 1966O
Although the intensity of business activity in the past 2 years has continued to
reduce the number of unemployed men seeking full-time jobs (l0 6 million in 1964 to
1. 0 million in 1966) and adult women looking for full-time work (1 million to 750, 000),
the number of teenagers looking for full-time jobs has remained unchanged. Employment gains for teenagers in the full-time labor force have only matched their burgeoning
labor force increases of the past 2 years.
Another manifestation of the strong demand for full-time labor was the 250, 000
reduction in the number of nonfarm workers on part time for economic reasons (such
as slack work or inability to find a full-time job) 0 This decline was similar to that
of a year agoo
Unlike the full-time labor force, the part-time labor force has had only small
reductions in its rate of unemployment over the past 3 years 0 Employment gains have
been sufficient to absorb the large number of part-time workers entering the labor
force but not to reduce the number seeking part-time work at any one time. In 1966,
over half a million part-time workers found employment, but this gain was matched
by the rise in the part-time labor force*
A primary reason for the unyielding level of unemployment among part-time
workers during the present expansion has been the large influx of teenage jobseekers*
However, between 1965 and 1966, adult females have also entered the part-time
labor force in greater numberso These two groups of workers make up over 80 percent
of all part-time jobseekers o
The availability of part-time jobs is much more critical for teenagers than for
adult womeno For every adult woman seeking a part-time job, there are four looking
for full-time jobs. For every teenager seeking a part-time job, there are only about
two looking for full-time jobso Economic growth in the recent past has only created
sufficient part-time jobs for teenagers to match their labor force increase; it is
evident that to lower the rate of unemployment among teenage part-time jobseekers
an even greater number of part-time jobs must be createdo
Improvements in Unemployment
During 1964 and 1965, there was a continuous decline in the monthly unemployment rate; however, during 1966 the month-to-month unemployment rate (seasonally
adjusted) fluctuated between 30 7 and 4. 0 percent and ended the year at almost the
same rate as it had started (4O 0 percent in January 1966 and 3. 8 percent in December
1966). Nonetheless, the average level of unemployment in 1966 was 3.0 million, down
480, 000 from the year before and at the lowest annual level since 1957O
As the rate of unemployment fell below the 4 percent mark in 1966, the jobless
rates for many groups of workers dropped to their most favorable levels in years*
Rates below 3 percent were recorded for men aged 25 to 64 years and for women 45
years old and over. The rate for married men inched below the 2 percent level, and




the rate for all household heads averaged 20 2 percent*, Jobless rates below 3 percent
were registered also for workers in highly demanded occupations and industries
(white-collar and skilled blue-collar occupations and in the metal-producing and -using
industries of manufacturing) o
Further evidence of over-all improvement in the unemployment picture is
available from special surveys of why jobseekers look for work. In 1966, it was found
that an increasing proportion of those looking for work were doing so either for the
first time or after a period of nonparticipation. In June 1964, 37 percent of the
unemployed were looking for work because they had lost a job, but in June 1966 only
24 percent were job losers 0 Although June is the peak month for labor force entry,
it was clear that over this period a substantial portion of the total unemployment
decline took place among job losers.

Industrial Developments
Strong job gains occurred in the manufacturing sector of the economy in 1966O 2
The gain of 1 million employees was the largest annual increase in 15 years and
followed a 750, 000 increase in 1965O Despite tightness in the labor supply and the
lowest jobless rate in the industry since 1953, manufacturers were able to boost total
employment to 19. 0 million.
The early months of 1966 tested the ability of manufacturers to meet increased
product demand in the face of a tight labor market. The jobless rate had fallen to a
very low level, and the supply of semiskilled workers had diminished. However,
through a combination of increased overtime and stepped-up recruitment activities,
manufacturers were able to meet production schedules0
Altogether, 15 of the 21 manufacturing industries registered greater job pickups
than in 19650 As in 1965, most of the employment growth was concentrated in the
durable-goods industries (nearly 80 percent) 0 Metal-working and metal-using
industries expanded by 650,000, led by the electrical equipment industry (225,000).
The job increase in the electrical equipment industry was double that of a year earlier,
reflecting the effect of greater defense needs. The employment gain in the transportation equipment industry (170, 000) was about 40, 000 larger than that of a year ago.
Unlike 1965 when the automobile industry accounted for most of the gain, employment

in the aircraft industry provided the major part of the increase in 1966 (125, 000)o
The increase in aircraft employment was the largest since the Korean conflict, and
the industry1 s average workweek was at its highest level since that time (430 4 hours) o
The number of jobs in the machinery industry increased by 150, 000. The nondurablegoods sector increase was led by the paper, printing, chemicals, and rubber industrieseach increasing by 30, 000 or more.
The number of factory production workers advanced by 800, 000 in 1966 to 140 2
milliono This represented the largest number of factory workers employed since
"World War II, surpassing the cyclical highs of the 1956-57 and the Korean war periods.
The rise in the number of factory workers since 1961 has provided the stimulus for a
resurgence in blue-collar employment, especially semiskilled employmento Evidence
of the strength and duration of the current boom is the fact that production worker
employment in 11 of the 21 manufacturing industries surpassed levels of employment
in other periods of peak cyclical activity occurring since World War II,
Over the postwar period, the proportion of nonproduction workers to total manufacturing employment had been steadily increasing until the present expansion* The
nonproduction worker ratio leveled off at 26. 0 percent in 1961-1964 and in the past 2
years dipped to 25O 6 percent. In only one previous cyclical upturn since World War II,
has this proportion declined (1958 to 1959) 0
The jobless rate in manufacturing fell even further in 1966 to 30 2 percent and
reached its lowest point since 1953O Unlike 1965, when the rate displayed a marked
decline in the latter half of the year, the manufacturing unemployment rate held
steady throughout 1966O
Employment in contract construction totaled 3. 3 million, up 100, 000 over the
yearo The gain was close to that of the 1964-65 period, although there was a distinct
slowdown in the last half of the year as a result of the slump in residential construe tiono This slowdown was also reflected in the industry1 s rate of unemployment
(seasonally adjusted) which averaged 9O 0 percent in the fourth quarter compared to
7. 5 percent in early 1966O
The service-producing industries--transportation and public utilities, trade,
government, services, and finance--provided more employment opportunities to the
work force than ever before. Together they accounted for approximately 1. 9 million
new jobs, with each industry experiencing a larger gain than in the previous year.
Government employment shot up by three-quarters of a million, the largest
increase of the post-World War II era e The gain was the result of increases of about
600, 000 in State and local government jobs and 200, 000 in Federal government
employment.
The employment gain in trade (525, 000) was also the largest in nearly two
decades; retail trade accounted for three-fourths of the total increase, although employment in retail trade in the latter half of the year grew at a slower rate than earlier
in 1966. Job increases in the miscellaneous service industries totaled half a million-roughly 100,000 more than in the 1964 to 1965 period.
For the third straight year, employment in transportation and public utilities
registered a healthy expansion (100, 000) 0 Employment in this industry was approximately 100, 000 short of the past cyclical highs of 1951-53 and 1956-57O Employment
in mining held steady at 630, 000 in 1966, as it has since 1963. The vitality of the
current expansion has at least temporarily halted the long-run secular decline.
Employment in agriculture recorded its largest drop since 1958 (380,000). Although
the long-run trend has been downward, it appeared that the rate of decline accelerated
in 1966.




Hours and Earnings, The factory production worker1 s average workweek lengthened again in 1966O Hours increased by 0. 2 hour over the year to an average of 410 4
hours, the highest level since World War IIO The increase was accompanied by a
further rise in average overtime hours--from 3O 6 to 3.9 hourso
Average weekly hours in late 1965 began to climb at an accelerated rate as
manufacturing activity intensified. By February 1966, the workweek had risen to
41. 5 hours (seasonally adjusted), and until late spring held steady at this level; it was
obvious that employers were meeting expanded production schedules by increasing
overtime and by hiring additional workers. Both average overtime hours and the new
hire rate were at their highest 1966 levels during this periodo An early model changeover in the auto industry in mid-summer reduced the length of the average workweek.
Since that time hours have not returned to the levels of early 1966O
The hourly earnings of factory workers averaged $2. 71 in 1966, up 10 cents from
the 1965 average*. The increase, amounting to 3O 8 percent, was the largest annual
gain since 1962O Nearly all of the increase was attributable to higher wage rates, but
greater amounts of overtime at premium pay and the strong job gains in high wage
industries had some effect on the average0
Gross average weekly earnings increased by $4O 66 in 1966, reaching a record
level of $112.19o The rise (4.3 percent) was a b o u t t h e s a m e as that of a year
ago. Most of the advance (90 percent) was attributable to increased hourly earningso
Take-home pay (gross weekly earnings less Federal income and social security taxes)
for workers with three dependents increased by $29 55 to $99o 33O The increase was
about half the size of the increase in each of the 2 prior years 0 The smaller gain was
the result of the rise in social security taxes in January of 1966O If taxes had not been
increased, the rise would have amounted to about $4o00o As a result of the more
rapid increase in consumer prices, real take-home pay at $87O 75 was virtually unchanged from a year ago. The average factory worker with three dependents worked
more hours, earned more per hour, but received the same "real11 take-home pay as
in 196 50
Average weekly earnings in the nonmanufacturing industries increased substantially,, The gains in mining (5O 2 percent) and contract construction (50 2 percent)
were the largest of the present expansion; the increases in the finance industries
(4. 0 percent) and trade (3O 3 percent) were only slightly larger than the gains in 1965O
Advances in weekly earnings in motor freight transportation, communications, and
utilities were somewhat smaller than those of a year ago.
Occupational Employment Gains
In response to the sustained high level of economic activity in 1966, employment
gains continued among professional, clerical, skilled, semiskilled, and miscellaneous
service workers 0
Blue-collar employment growth in 1966 was slightly less than in 1965, although
the advance (700,000) was still the second largest of the current expansion. Employment among both skilled craftsmen and semiskilled operatives were at all-time highs
as they topped the gains of a year earlier; however, the employment of unskilled bluecollar laborers declined by 180, 000. Much of this contrast was probably the result
of a considerable movement of unskilled workers into jobs requiring higher skills
which were in abundance throughout the course of the year and of the slowdown in the
construction industry.
Employment among semiskilled blue-collar workers rose by nearly 500, 000 in
1966O The operative growth since 1963 has been stimulated by the accelerated production activity in the durable-goods sector of the economy. Between 1963 and 1964,
this sector of the economy accounted for 40 percent of the employment gain in this

White-collar employment growth in 1966 surpassed that of a year earlier,
increasing by 1. 2 million. Most of the increase was concentrated in the professional
and clerical occupations. The demand for such workers has remained high throughout
the post-World War II periodo The increases in both professional (450,000) and
clerical employment (700,000) were the largest of the present expansion, and for
clerical workers the largest in two decades0 Clerical jobs have been a main source
of employment opportunities for teenagers in recent years 0 In 1966 approximately 2
out of every 5 new clerical jobs were obtained by teenagers,,
Employment in the sales occupations was virtually unchanged in 1966, compared
to a substantial advance in 1965. Employment among managers, officials, and proprietors was also unchanged from a year ago.
Service workers contributed 325, 000 to the rise in total employment in 1966;
this increase was attributable entirely to the gain among miscellaneous service workers
(excluding private household workers). Miscellaneous service employment, which
had recorded an average annual gain of 150, 000 between 1947 and 1961, increased, on
the average, by 225, 000 during the present expansion,, Private household employment
increased annually by an average of 40, 000 between 1947 and 1961 but has shown no
growth since then0 It is quite likely that the increased demand for service workers
and the availability of higher paying jobs have inhibited private household employment
growtho
Labor Surplus Problems
Negro Workers! The unemployment rate for nonwhite workers averaged 70 5
percent in 1966, down 0o8 percentage point from 1965. Despite this, there was a
slight slowdown in the rate of improvement in the unemployment situation for Negroes
relative to whites0 Between 1963 and 1965, 25 percent of the total decline in unemployment was among Negroes, but in 1966 this proportion declined to 11 percent. Furthermore, the jobless rate for Negroes, which had declined steadily between 1963 and
early 1966, edged upward toward mid-year and failed to return to the 701 percent rate
(seasonally adjusted) established in the first quartero This development was particularly disappointing since the rate for white workers held steady throughout the year
at around 3. 4 percent.
One of the most disturbing areas of Negro unemployment has been among teenagers. Despite concerted efforts to combat this problem, Negro boys and girls
continued to experience shockingly high rates of unemployment in 1966 (21. 2 percent
for boys and 3101 percent for girls). Although there has been some improvement for
white teenagers recently, Negro teenagers have not kept pace. In 1963, the jobless
rate for Negro boys was l0 8 times as large as that for white boys compared to 2.1
in 1966; for Negro girls the differential has moved from 2. 4:1 to 2. 8:1 over the same
period. Since Negro teenagers will account for a larger proportion of the teenage

Teenagers. Teenagers entered the labor force in unprecedented numbers in
1966 (750, 000)0 All of these workers were able to find employment due to the high
level of economic activity and the concerted efforts on the part of governments, private
industry, and community organizations,, In this respect the teenage job situation in
1966 closely resembled that of 1965.
Teenage unemployment has been one of the most troublesome manpower problems
of the I9601 So Between 1963 and 1966, teenage joblessness has held steady at 1. 0
million and as a result has steadily made up a larger proportion of total unemployment,.
At the same time, more than 1. 5 million teenagers entered the labor force--more than
were added over the entire 10-year period from 1953 to 1963O The generation of enough
jobs for this large increase in the teenage labor force, preventing their jobless level
from rising further, has been one of the major achievements of the current expansion,,
Nevertheless, their rate of unemployment in 1966, at 12. 0 percent, was slightly more
than 3 times larger than the total rate o Furthermore, since 1963 this relationship
has tended to edge upward (from 20 7:1 in 1963 to 3.1:1 in 1966).
Over the past 3 years, an increasing proportion of teenagers have found fulltime jobso In 1964, nearly all of the increase in teenage employment occurred among
part-time workers; in 1966, 54 percent of the gain was among full-time workers. Two
factors account for this development: 1) the abundance of full-time employment opportunities in a rapidly expanding economy; and 2) a large increase in the number of
teenagers aged 18 to 19 years who were entering the labor force in quest of their first
full-time jobs.
Long-Term Unemployment. The average number of workers unemployed for
15 weeRs or longer was further reduced in 1966 as the economy1 s sustained growth
continued to reach the hard-core unemployed. The reduction in long-term unemployment (225, 000) was equivalent to that of 1965 and cut the total to nearly half a million-0o 7 percent of the civilian labor forceo In the current upswing, total unemployment
has declined by roughly lo 8 million, and long-term unemployment accounted for 55
percent of this dropo Compared to previous cyclical upturns, this represents a vast
improvement and can be attributed only to the strength and duration of the present
expansion,,
Reductions in long-term joblessness were evident in nearly all nonagricultural
industries and all nonfarm occupation groupso Particularly sharp reductions were
noted in industries and occupations of high labor demand, such as manufacturing and




10

among skilled and semiskilled workers© At the same time, the number of new labor
force entrants experiencing long-term joblessness fell substantially in 1966O Longterm unemployment among persons with no previous work experience declined from
17 percent of their unemployment in 1965 to 13 percent in 1966. Among Negroes the
reductions in extended joblessness matched those of a year earlier 0 The ability of
the economy to reduce extended joblessness among experienced workers, as well as
among labor force entrants, reflects the pervasiveness of the labor demand situation
in 1966O
For the second year in a row, over one-half of the unemployed had been looking
for work for less than 5 weeks. In 1966, approximately 55 percent of the total
unemployed had been jobless less than 5 weeks and this was the highest proportion
since 1953. Such a development is typical during periods of high economic activity
when job changing becomes more prevalent At the same time, the addition to the
labor force of teenagers and married women has added to the number of short-term
jobseekers. Undoubtedly, were it not for the abundance of employment opportunities
in recent years, the proportion of such jobseekers experiencing extended joblessness
would be substantially higher.
Labor Force Participation by Age, Sex, and Color
Participation rates for men in the central age groups (25 to 54 years) have
remained above 95 percent since the end of World War II0 In 1966, the rate of labor
force participation for adult men was virtually unchanged. The recent decline in the
rate for men aged 55 to 64 years was nearly halted in. 1966 at 84. 6 percent; however,
the long-run downtrend in the participation rate for older men (65 years and over)
continued in 1966, as their rate moved down to 27O 0 percent.
Participation rates of women aged 25 to 64 years continued to mo/e up in 1966.
Of particular interest was the acceleration in the worker rate for women aged 25 to
34--an age group in which labor force activity is often restricted due to the presence
of small children in the familyo Throughout the 19508 s and early part of this decade,
their work rate had been stable in the narrow range of 34 to 36 percento By 1966,
however, their rate had risen to nearly 40 percent0
Between 1956 and 1963, the participation rate for teenage males declined from
51. 4 percent to 43. 5 percento However, since 1963, older teenagers (18 to 19 years
old) have become a larger proportion of the teenage labor force relative to younger
teenagers (14 to 17 years old)o Older teenagers usually have higher participation
rates, and as a result the teenage male participation rate has edged upward and in
1966 was 45O 7 percento (About 70 percent of all males 18 to 19 years of age participate in the labor force compared to rates of 47 percent for 16 to 17 year-olds and 22
percent for those 14 to 15. ) The labor force participation rate for teenage girls in
1966 was 32 percent--4 percentage points greater than in 1964O The increase in the
number of 18 and 19 year-old girls accounted for the recent increase in the rate for
teenage girls 0
For 20 to 24 year-old males, the participation rate has gradually edged downward since the mid-19501 se The primary reason for this development has been later
labor force entry resulting from lengthening school attendance., ' This group1 s work
rate was unchanged in 1966, however, at 88. 0 percent as the expansion of the Armed
Forces halted any further decline. Their employment showed little change in 1966
compared to an average annual gain of 200, 000 between 1961 and 1965, but unemployment
declined by its largest amount (100,000) since the current expansion got underway.
Furthermore, a slightly smaller proportion of the total number in this age group were
in school in 1966 compared to 1965 (9. 2 percent vso 9. 7 percent) o Most of the recent
increase in the Armed Forces occurred among young men, and it was evident that
activity patterns of many men with unfulfilled military obligations were altered in 1966
as military manpower needs increased.




11

Historically, the proportion of nonwhite adult men in the labor force has been
slightly lower than that of white men, while for nonwhite women, worker rates have
been higher than for white women,, In 1966, there was no significant narrowing in
these gapso

Percent of civilian noninstitutional population in the civilian labor force*

Participation rates among Negro adult men aged 25 to 54 years failed to show
any significant increases in 1966. 4 Negro men aged 45 to 54 years in fact showed
further withdrawal; their rate fell from 92. 0 percent in 1965 to 90o 7 percent in 1966e
For whites of the same age group there was little change in the worker rate 0 While
participation in the labor force for white teenage boys increased, the rate for Negro
boys was unchanged.
Adult Negro women recorded a modest increase in their participation rates in
1966 as did white adult womeno Participation for Negro women 25 to 34 years has
increased rapidly in the I9601 s, in contrast to developments in the 19501 s. Negro
teenage girls increased their work rate to nearly 25 percent; white teenage girls also
experienced an increase.
Labor Shortages
Labor shortages in 1966 continued to attract the attention of government and
business officials alike. After reaching its most critical point in the early months
of 1966, the tight manpower situation eased somewhat, due to the more moderate
growth of the economy since spring. This easing undoubtedly provided employers
time to redesign jobs, making them more compatible with the declining skill level of
the available labor supply. In the fourth quarter of 1966, however, shortages continued
to be evident in some occupations, industries, and areas.
4

Labor force participation rates for white and nonwhite workers are based on
the civilian noninstitutional population, excluding the Armed Forces.

In the fourth quarter, approximately the same number of workers were unemployed as in the early part of the year (2.9 million, seasonally adjusted). Furthermore, the composition of total unemployment had changed very little* There were
approximately the same number of unemployed skilled, semiskilled, and unskilled
blue-collar workers (1,0 million); only 100, 000 fewer adult males looking for work;
and approximately the same number of experienced wage and salary jobseekers o
Thus, the labor supply-demand relationship was not substantially different between
the first and fourth quarters.

During the Korean conflict tightness in the labor supply was also evident. A
comparison of the present situation with that during the Korean conflict places the
present developments in perspective. Some of the most significant comparisons
appear below:
1) In 1966, 3. 0 million people were unemployed, compared to 1. 9 million in
1952* Adult males, however, made up over one-half of the total in 1952,
compared to 38 percent in 1966O
2) The jobless rate for skilled blue-collar workers, at 2, 8 percent in 1966, was
nearly one-half of a percentage point higher than in 1952, and the rates for
other blue-collar workers were also above those of 14 years earlier 0
3) The workweek of factory production workers in 1966 averaged 41. 4 hours,
0. 7 hour more than in 1952O Employers relied much more heavily on
increased hours in 1966 than in 1952 for meeting production demands.
4) There was no civilian labor force growth during the Korean war period,
compared to an annual average gain of lo 3 million in the 1963 to 1966 period.
5) The number of unemployed experienced wage and salary workers totaled 1. 5
million in 1952, compared to 20 3 million in 1966O
It was apparent in 1966 that the Nation1 s labor force was not so fully employed
as it was in 1952 and that the potential for further employment growth was far greater,




13

It is likely that the labor shortage situation in 1967 will be no more acute than
in 1966o Indications of weakness in some segments of the economy have increased
in the closing months of 1966. Spending for plants and equipment will probably increase at a slower rate in 1967. At the beginning of 1967, considerably more
uncertainties exist concerning the future course of the boom than in late 1965.

^Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Two groups averaging about one-quarter million
workers which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work)-those on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 dayswere assigned to different classifications, mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.
2Not available.
^Beginning I953i labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into
the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the
figures for total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected.
^Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning I960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has resulted in an increase of about half a
million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other
labor force categories were not appreciably changed.
^Figures for periods prior to April 1962 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of I960 Census data into the estimation procedure. The
change primarily affected the labor force and employment totals, which were reduced by about 200,000. The unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.
NOTE: Data for 1929-39 based on sources other than direct enumeration.

^Beginning with January 1959, transfers between establishments of the same firm are included in total accessions and total separations, therefore rates for these items are
not strictly comparable with prior data. Transfers comprise part of other accessions and other separations, the rates for which are not shown separately.
NOTE: Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1959. This inclusion has not significantly affected the labor turnover series.
Data for the current month are preliminary.

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

INTRODUCTION

Relation between the household and payroll series

The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
three major sources: (1) household interviews, (2) payroll reports from employers; and (3) administrative
statistics of unemployment insurance systems.

The household and payroll data supplement one
another, each providing significant types of information
that the other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for example, are readily obtained only from
the household survey whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports.

Data based on household interviews are obtained from
a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census for the
Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive
data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed, including such characteristics as age, sex, color,
marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration
of unemployment. The information is collected by trained
interviewers from a sample of about 35,000 households,
representing 357 areas in 701 counties and independent
cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District of
Columbia. The data collected are based on the activity
or status reported for the calendar week including the
12th of the month.

Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences in definition and coverage, sources
of information, methods of collection, and estimating
procedures. Sampling variability and response errors
are additional reasons for discrepancies. The major
factors which have a differential effect on levels and
trends of the two series are as follows:
Employment

are the inclusion of persons under 14 in the Statistical
Research Service (SRS) series and the treatment of dual
jobholders who are counted more than once if they worked
on more than one farm during the reporting period.
There are also wide differences in sampling techniques
and collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be
readily measured in terms of impact on differences in
level and trend of the two series.

for the time off. In the figures based on payroll reports,
persons on leave paid for by the company are included,
but not those on leave without pay for the entire payroll
period.
Hours of Work

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

Comparability of the payroll employment data
with other series

Comparability of the household interview data
with other series

Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total
from the household survey includes all persons who did
not work 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
Bureau of Employment Security 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, State and local government, domestic service,
self-employed, unpaid family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment used in the household survey. For example,
persons with a job but not at work and persons working
only a few hours during the week are sometimes eligible
for unemployment compensation, but are classified as
employed rather than unemployed in the household
survey.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department
of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage

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 contract construction, professional services, public utilities, and financial
establishments, whereas these are included in BLS
statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of
Commerce and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ
from BLS establishment statistics in the treatment of
central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrial classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes
interstate railroads and government, and coverage is
incomplete for some of the nonprofit activities.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are
covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All
workers in certain activities, such as interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small firms in covered
industries are also excluded in 32 States. In general,
these are establishments with less than four employees.

Labor Force Data
Current Population Survey'' (BLS Report 279). This report is available from BLS on request.

COLLECTION AND COVERAGE

Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics of employed and unemployed persons, and
related labor force 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 Household
Statistics on Employment and Unemployment from the




These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population 14 years
and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of
the household 14 years of age and over. The inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,

11 8

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.

during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking
for work except that they were temporarily ill or
believed no work was available in their line of work or
in the community.

Inmates of institutions 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.

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 or would have been looking for work
except for temporary illness, or belief that no work was
available in their line of work or in the community. 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.

Each month, 35,000 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 1,500 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 35,000 occupied units there are 5,000 sample units
in an average month which are visited but found to be
vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of the
sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides
for three-fourths of the sample to be common from one
month to the next, and one-half to be common with the
same month a year ago.

The civilian labor force comprises the total of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria described above. The "total
labor force" also includes members of the Armed Forces
stationed either in the United States or abroad.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. This
measure can also be computed for groups within the labor
force classified by sex, age, marital status, color, etc.

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 on 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 or looking for work but who had
jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily
absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labormanagement dispute, or personal reasons, whether or
not they were paid by their employers for the time off.

Not in labor force includes all civilians 14 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.

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.

Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the
employed apply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during
the survey week. The unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time civilian job lasting 2 weeks
or more. The occupation and industry groups used in
data derived from the CPS household interviews are
defined as in the 1960 Census of Population. Information
on the detailed categories included in these groups is
available upon request.

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 at all during the survey week and were looking
for work, regardless of whether or not they were eligible
for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all 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 (and were not in school




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 governmental unit. Self-employed
persons are those who work for profit or fees in their
1 19

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.

ESTIMATING METHODS

Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number .
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
a person who normally works 40 hours a week but who
was off on the Veterans Day holiday would be reported
as working 32 hours even though he was paid for the
holiday.
For persons working in more than one job, the figures
relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during
the week. However, all the hours are credited to the
major job.
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 but usually work full time.
Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor
force consists of persons working on full-time schedules,
persons involuntarily working part time (because fulltime work is not available) and unemployed persons
seeking full-time jobs. The part-time labor force consists
of persons working part time voluntarily and unemployed
persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job but
not at work during the survey week are distributed proportionately between the full-time and voluntary parttime employment categories.
Labor force time lost is a measure of man-hours
lost to the economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed
as a percent of potentially available man-hours.
It is computed by assuming: (1) that unemployed
persons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours, (2) that those looking for parttime work lost the average number of hours actually
worked by voluntary part-time workers during the
survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for
economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5
hours and the a c t u a l n u m b e r of hours they
worked.




Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of
the results for a given month become available simultaneously and are based on returns from the entire
panel of respondents. There are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark data on labor force,
employment, or unemployment. Therefore, revisions of
the historical data are not an inherent feature of this
statistical program.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed
to account for occupied sample households for which no
information was obtained because of absence, impassable
roads, refusals, or unavailability for other reasons. This
adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas
and, within these, for six groups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence categories (urban,
rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample
households not interviewed varies from 4 to 6 percent
depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by
chance, from that of the Nation as a whole, in such
characteristics as age, color, sex, and residence. Since
these population characteristics are closely correlated
with labor force participation and other principal measurements made from the sample, the latter estimates
can be substantially improved when weighted appropriately by the known distribution of these population
characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages
of ratio estimates as follows:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by
the known 1960 Census data on the color-residence
distribution of the population. This step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the 1960
Census between the color-residence distribution for the
Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the
sample proportions are weighted by independent current
estimates of the population by age, sex, and color.
These estimates are prepared by carrying forward the
most recent census data (1960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality, and migration between the U n i t e d S t a t e s and other countries.
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 especially of month-to-month changes but also of
the levels for most items.

120

Reliability of the Estimates

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

The figures presented in table B are to be used for
other characteristics and are approximations of the
standard errors of all such characteristics. They should
be interpreted as providing an indication of the order of
magnitude of the standard errors rather than as the
precise standard error for any specific item.
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 mo nth-to-month change itself.
Thus, in order to use the approximations to the standard
errors of month-to-month changes as presented in table
C, it is first necessary to obtain the standard error of
the monthly level of the item in table B, and then find the
standard error of the month-to-month change in table C
corresponding to this standard error of level. It should
be noted that table C applies to estimates of change between 2 consecutive months. For changes between the
current month and the same month last year, the standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable
approximations.

Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total
number of persons working a specific number of hours
as 15,000,000, an increase of 500,000 over the previous
month. Linear interpolation in the first column of table B
shows that the standard error of 15,000,000 is about
160,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of
100 that the sample estimate differs by less than 160,000
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 160,000 as the standard

Establishment Data
on Labor Turnover. These schedules are of the "shuttle"
type, with space for each month of the calendar year.
The schedule is returned to the respondent each month
by the collecting agency 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.

COLLECTION

Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonfarm establishments, by industry and geographic location.
Federal-State Cooperation

The 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 man-hours of production and related workers
or nonsupervisory workers for the pay period which
includes the 12th of the month. The labor turnover
schedule provides for the collection of information on
the total number of accessions and separations, by type,
during the calendar month.

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

CONCEPTS
Industrial Classification

Shuttle Schedules

Establishments are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined
from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected each year on a supplement to the

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.

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, 1957, as amended by the
1963 Supplement.

Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not
above the working supervisory level) such as office and
clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators,
drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels,
and other employees whose services are closely associated with those of the employees listed.

Industry Employment
Employment data except that 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 family workers, farm workers, and domestic
workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations
are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal military personnel are excluded
from total nonagricultural employment.
Persons on an establishment payroll 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 do not report to work during the
period.
Industry Hours and Earnings

Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related
workers in manufacturing and mining, construction
workers in contract construction, and nonsupervisory
employees in the remaining nonfarm components. For
Federal Government, hours and earnings relate to all
employees who worked or received pay during the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month* 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
foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing,
assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling,
Slacking, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair,
Janitorial and watchman services,, product development,
auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g., power
plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees
1st the contract construction division: Working foremen.
Journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, laborers, etc.,




Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who
received pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the month* The payroll is reported
before deductions of any kind, e,g., for old-age and
unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding
tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly
by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly
each pay period), other pay not earned in pay period
reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free
rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded.
Man-hours cover man-hours worked or paid for,
during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month,
for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers.
The man-hours include hours paid for holidays*and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly
from the firm.
Overtime hours cover premium overtime hours of
production and related workers during the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month. Overtime hours
are those for which premiums were paid because the
hours were in excess of the number of hours of either
the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and
holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates
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 planu Shifts in the
volume of employment between relatively high-paid and
low-paid work and changes in workers1 earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings
averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individual
industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated
period of time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for
a given unit of work or time. The earnings series, however, 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 nonsupervisoryemployee definitions.

Spendable Average Weekly Earnings

Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars
are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social
security and income taxes from gross 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
the gross average weekly earnings for all production or
nonsupervisory workers in the industry division without
regard to total family income.

Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by
changes in gross average hourly earnings, but also by
changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work,
stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and
absenteeism.

"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for
the current month. The level of earnings is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base
period (1957-59).

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 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 Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime

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

Average Overtime Hours

The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of
regular hours and for which premium payments were
made. If an employee worked on a paid holiday at regular
rates, receiving as total compensation his holiday pay
plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no
overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not
necessarily move in the same direction, from month-tomonth; for example, 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 industrygroup level may also 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.

Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours

The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and manhours are prepared by dividing the current month's
aggregate by the monthly average for the 1957-59period.
The man-hour aggregates are the product of average
weekly hours and production-worker employment, and the
payroll aggregates are the product of gross average
weekly earnings and production-worker employment.
Labor Turnover

Railroad Hours and Earnings

Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employed status with
respect to individual establishments. This movement,
which relates to a calendar month, is divided into two
broad types: Accessions (new hires and rehires) and
separations (terminations of employment initiated by
either employer or employee). Each type of action is
cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees,
whether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary,
including executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers. Transfers to another
establishment of the company are included, beginning
with January 1959.

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

temporary additions to the employment roll, including

ratio estimation, and (2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and (3) the use of size
and regional stratification.

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.

The "Link Relative" Technique

From a sample composed of establishments reporting
for both the previous and current months, the ratio of
current month employment to that of the previous month
is computed. This is called a link relative. The estimates
of employment (all employees, including production and
nonproduction workers together) for the current month
are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these "link relatives." Other features of
the general procedures are described later in the table,
Summary of Methods for Computing Industry Statistics
on Employment, Hours, Earnings, and Labor Turnover.
Further details are given in the technical notes on

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 another establishment
of the company.

Separations are terminations of employment during
the calendar month and are classified according to cause:
Quits, layoffs, and other separations, are defined as
follows:

over, which are available upon request.
Size and Regional Stratification

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

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,
L ay off s are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days,
initiated by the employer without prejudice to the worker.

Benchmark Adjustments

Other separations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations
of employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and entrance into the Armed Forces
for a period expected to last more than 30 consecutive
calendar days.

Employment estimates are periodically compared
with comprehensive counts of employment which provide
"benchmarks" for the various nonagriculturalindustries,
and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The
industry estimates are currently projected from March
1965 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.

Comparability With Employment Series

The primary source of benchmark information is the
employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by
State agencies from reports of establishments covered
under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, covering three-fourths of the total nonfarm employment in the United States, are prepared under the
direction of the Bureau of Employment Security. Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and a number of other agencies
in private industry or government.

Mo nth-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.

The estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series
of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark
and the preceding one, and the new benchmark for each
industry is then carried forward progressively to the
current month by use of the sample trends. Thus, under

ESTIMATING METHODS

The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the
use of the "link relative" technique, which is a form of




125

ducing 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. The tendency of such a sample to
produce biased estimates of the level of earnings for
certain industries is counteracted by the stratified
estimating procedure d e s c r i b e d under "Estimating
Methods."

this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the
level of employment, while the sample is used to measure
the month-to-month changes in the level.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which
the series has been adjusted are therefore 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.

THE SAMPLE

Design
Coverage

The sampling plan used in the current employment
statistics program is an optimum allocation design known
as ''sampling proportionate to average size of establishment." 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 total size of sample 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 stratum the
sample members are selected at random.

The BLS sample of establishment employment and
payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the
field of social statistics. The table that follows 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.
Approximate size and coverage of BLS employment
and payrolls sample, March 1965L
Employees

Under this type of design, large establishments fall
into the sample with certainty. The size of the samples
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 a 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 larger 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 smaller ones. Many industries in the trade and
service divisions fall into this category. In order 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.

Reliability of the Employment Estimates

The estimates derived from the establishment survey
may differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possible to take a complete census
using the same schedules and procedures. The relatively
large size of the BLS establishment sample assures a
very high degree of accuracy. Therefore, sampling
variability as expressed in standard errors of the
estimate is of little consequence, particularly with
respect to month-to-month changes. However, since the
use of the link relative technique requires the use of the
previous monthTs estimate as the base in computing the
current month1 s estimate, small sampling and response
errors may cumulate over several months. To remove
this accumulated error, the estimates are adjusted to
new benchmarks annually. In addition to the sampling
and response errors, the benchmark revision adjusts
the estimates for changes in the industrial classification
of individual establishments (resulting from changes in
their product which are not reflected in the levels of
estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks.)
In fact, at the more detailed industry levels, particularly
within manufacturing, changes in classification are the
major cause of benchmark adjustments. Another cause
of differences, generally minor, arises from improvements in the quality of the benchmark data. (A detailed
description of the March 1965 benchmark is available
from the Bureau upon request.)
The entire difference between the estimate and
benchmarks is assumed to have accumulated at a regular rate. Accordingly, the all employee series, for
months between the current and the last preceding
benchmark, are adjusted by tapering out the difference
back from the current benchmark to the last previous
benchmark. The series for months subsequent to the
benchmark month are revised by projecting the level
of the new benchmark by the trend of the unadjusted
series.
For the most recent months, national, State, and area
estimates 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 design have been received.

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS

State and area employment, hours; earnings, and
labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State
agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics
relate to-metropolitan areas. Definitions for all areas
are published each year in the issue of Employment and
Earning sand Monthly Report on the Labor Force that contains State and area annual averages. 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
1 27

For the States and the areas shown in the B and C
sections of this periodical, all the annual average data
for the detailed industry statistics currently published
by each cooperating State agency are presented (from
the earliest data of availability of each series) in a
summary volume published annually by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.

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.

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE DATA
Insured unemployment represents the number of persons reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment insurance program. It includes some persons
who are working part time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and household surveys. Excluded
are persons who have exhausted their benefit rights, new
workers who have not earned rights to unemployment
insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local
government, domestic service, self-employment, unpaid
family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a
minimum size). The rate of insured unemployment is the
number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent of
average covered employment in a 12-month period ending
6 to 8 months prior to the week of reference. Initial

claims are notices filed by those losing jobs covered by
an unemployment insurance program that they are starting a period of unemployment. A claimant who continues
to be unemployed a full week is then counted in the
insured, unemployment figure.
Because of differences in State laws and procedures
under which unemployment insurance programs are operated, State unemployment rates generally indicate, but
do not precisely 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 Bureau of Employment
Security, Washington, D.C.

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 pattern—that is, changes in a
seasonally adjusted series—it is important to note that
seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based
on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have
a broader margin of possible error than the original
data on which they are based, since they are subject not
only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are
affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment
process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected
labor force and establishment data are published regularly
in Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the
Labor Force.
The seasonal adjustment method used tor these series
is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average
method, with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors
to take account of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed
description of the method is given in the booklet, The BLS
Seasonal Factor Method (1966), which may be obtained
from the Bureau on request. An earlier version of the
method is described in Appendix G of the 1962 Report of
the Presidents Committee to Appraise Employment and
Unemployment Statistics, Measuring Employment and
Unemployment.
For establishment data, tne seasonally adjusted
series on weekly hours and labor turnover rates for
industry groupings are computed by applying factors




1 28

directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, but
seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees
and production workers by industry divisions are obtained by summing the seasonally adjusted data which
are published for component industries. Indexes of
aggregate weekly man-hours seasonally adjusted, for
mining, contract construction, and the major industries
in manufacturing are obtained by multiplying average
weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production workers,
seasonally adjusted and dividing by the 1957-59 base.
For total, manufacturing, and durable and nondurable
goods, the indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours,
seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggregate weekly man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for the
appropriate component industries and dividing by the
1957-59 base.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal Government are based on a series which excludes
the Christmas temporary help employed by the Post
Office Department 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 Post Office Department.
Hence, it was considered desirable to exclude this group
from the data upon which the seasonally adjusted series
is based. Factors currently in use for the establishment
data are shown in the September 1966 Employment and
Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force, and
revisions will be made coincidental with the adjustment
of series to new benchmark levels.

For each of the three ma jor labor force components—
agricultural and nonagricultural employment, and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and
female workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then
added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In order
to produce seasonally adjusted total employment and
civilian* labor force data, the appropriate series are
aggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted
figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the

seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the sum of
twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current
data are based on a pattern shown by past experience.
These factors are revised in the light of the pattern
revealed by subsequent data. Revised seasonally adjusted
series for major components of the labor force based on
data through December 1965 are published in the February
1966 Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on

the Labor Force. Revisions will be made annually as each
additional year's data become available.
