Employment and U n e m p l o y m e n t
December 1970
Unemployment rose slightly in December
while total employment remained essentially
unchanged. The overall unemployment rate edged
up from 5.8 percent in November to 6.0 percent in December, reaching the highest mark in
9 years.
Nonfarm payroll employment (seasonally adjusted) rose by 290,000 in December, reflecting
the ending of the automobile strike. A large
increase in manufacturing employment more
than offset a decline in trade.

Total unemployment
There were 4.6 million unemployed persons
in December, the same as in November. After
seasonal adjustment, unemployment edged upward slightly, by about 120,000, and the overall
unemployment rate moved up to 6.0 percent.
Jobless rates for the major labor force
groups showed little change in December, though
all have edged up in recent months. The jobless
rate for white workers remained at 5.5percent.
The rate for Negroes, on the other hand, r e turned to its October level of 9.3 percent,
after declining slightly in November. Rates
for married men (3.3 percent), all adult men




Developments,

(4.3 percent), adult women (5.7 percent), and
teenagers (17.5 percent) were not significantly
different from their November levels.
Long-term unemployment continued to rise in
December. The number of persons who have
been jobless for at least 15 weeks passed
1 million (seasonally adjusted), reaching the
highest level since mid-1964. This brought the
average duration of unemployment to 9.8 weeks,
up from 9.4 weeks in November. However, the
December average still remained below the
levels of the early and mid-1960's.
Among major industry groups, the unemployment rate for construction workers, at 11.0
percent, was up over the month, after declining
sharply in November. In manufacturing, the
jobless rate for workers in nondurable goods
production climbed from 6.0 to 6.9 percent.
For durable goods workers, the rate remained
essentially unchanged in December, after rising
substantially in recent months. The rate for
workers in wholesale and retail trade rose
from 6.1 to 6.4 percent, in part a reflection
of the relatively low level of hiring for the
Christmas season.
Unemployment edged up for white-collar and
blue-collar workers in December. With the
rate for professional and technical workers

The strike in the automobile industry extended from September 14 to
November 23, 1970. The December statistics discussed in this report
refer to the week of December 6-12. In the series on nonagricultural
payroll employment, striking workers are not on payrolls while on strike
and are counted as employed only when they return to their jobs. In the
figures on total employment from the household series, on the other hand,
strikers are classified as 'employed—with a job but not at work" and are
not counted as unemployed during the period of the strike. However, workers
laid off as a result of the secondary effects of an industrial dispute are
counted as unemployed.

climbing from 2.4 to 3.0 percent, the rate
for all white-collar workers rose to 3.7 percent in December, its highest level since the
series began on a monthly basis in 1958. For
blue-collar workers, the unemployment rate
inoreased from 7.3 percent in November to
7.7 percent in December, primarily as a result of an increase among craftsmen.

State insured unemployment
The jobless rate for workers covered by
State unemployment insurance programs declined from 4.5 percent to 4.2 percent between
November and December. After rising substantially in the previous 2 months as a r e sult of the secondary effects of the auto strike,
this rate has now returned to the September
pre-strike level. (Figures on State insured unemployment differ from total unemployment in
that they include only those jobless persons r e ceiving benefits under State unemployment insurance programs—primarily adult experienced
workers. In December 1970, insured unemployment was 45 percent of total unemployment.)

Industry payroll employment
Nonagricultural payroll employment, which
usually rises between November and December,
was up 675,000 this December to 71.3 million.
After seasonal adjustment, payroll employment
rose by 290,000, with the increase attributable
largely to the ending of the automobile strike.
In manufacturing, employment increased by
375,000 between November and December (seasonally adjusted), as an estimated 300,000 strike r s returned to factory payrolls following the
conclusion of the strike. The remaining employment pickup in manufacturing was also probably strike related, as some of the workers
laid off as a result of the strike were recalled
to their jobs. However, manufacturing employment in December was still 370,000 below the
pre-strike level of September 1970.
Virtually all of the over-the-month increase
in manufacturing occurred in the five durable
goods industries most heavily affected by the




strike. Employment rose by 255,000 in transportation equipment, 45,000 in fabricated metals,
40,000 in electrical equipment, 25,000 in primary metals, and 15,000 in machinery. In each
of these industries, the employment pickup exceeded the number of strikers who returned to
work, as some persons indirectly affected by
the strike also returned to their jobs. However, employment in these five industries also
remained 260,000 below the September prestrike levels. In nondurable goods industries,
employment remained unchanged for the second
straight month.
Employment in contract construction, seasonally adjusted, was unchanged from November at
3.3 million. Employment in the industry has
moved up somewhat since September, after declining nearly steadily since March. Over the
year, however, construction employment was
down by 180,000, or 5.4 percent.
Employment in the service-producing industries declined by 90,000 in December (seasonally
adjusted), as small job increases totaling 70,000
in State and local government, services, and
finance, insurance, and real estate were more
than offset by declines of 100,000 in trade and
50,000 in transportation and public utilities.
The December weakness in trade employment
(following an 80,000 drop in November) primarily
reflected reduced hiring for the Christmas season. The employment decline in transportation
and public utilities was principally due to the
strike of taxicab drivers in New York City.
Hours of work
Average hours of work in manufacturing edged
up 0.1 hour in December to 39.7 hours, seasonally adjusted. This was the third consecutive monthly increase and brought the factory
workweek nearly back to the August level, the
last month before the artificially low levels
caused by the Labor Day holiday, which affected the September data, and the subsequent
auto strike. Compared with a year ago, however,
the average workweek was down by one hour.
Factory overtime declined by 0.1 hour on a
seasonally adjusted basis in December. At 2.6
hours, factory overtime was 0.9 hour below a
year ago and at its lowest point since April
1963.

For all production and nonsupervisory worke r s on nonagricultural payrolls, the average
workweek rose seasonally in December; after
seasonal adjustment, hours were unchanged at
37.0 hours. Average hours remained 0.2 hour
below the August level. Over the year, the
workweek for all rank-and-file workers was
down by 0.6 hour.

manufacturing, services, and trade. Compared
with December 1969, average weekly earnings
have risen by $4.81, or 4.1 percent.
Over the year ending in November 1970,
average weekly earnings rose by 3.4 percent,
despite a small decline in the workweek; after
adjustment for consumer price changes, however, earnings were down by 2.1 percent.

Earnings
Civilian labor force and total employment
Average hourly earnings of production and
nonsupervisory workers on private payrolls
edged up 1 cent in December to $3.30. Compared with a year ago, average hourly earnings
were up 18 cents, or 5.8 percent. As a result
of a slight increase in the average hourly
wage and the actual rise in hours, average
weekly earnings increased by $1.03 over the
month to $122.43. Weekly earnings declines in
mining, transportation and public utilities, and
finance, insurance, and real estate were more
than offset by pickups in contract construction,

The civilian labor force, at 83.4 million seasonally adjusted, was unchanged over the month.
Total employment was also virtually unchanged.
Among men 20 years of age and over, employment declined about 150,000 in December, but
the decline was largely offset by a small gain
in female and teenage employment.
The number of persons working only parttime because of economic factors rose 190,000
(seasonally adjusted) in December to 2.5 million, the highest level since November 1961.

T h e Y e a r in R e v i e w
The Nation's employment situation in 1970
was affected by the general economic slowdown,
the sharp reduction in defense and aerospace
activity, and the strike in the automobile industry. Total employment rose by 730,000,
but the rise was not enough to absorb the increase in the civilian labor force (nearly
2.0 million). As a consequence, the number
of unemployed persons, at 4.1 million in 1970,
was up by 1.2 million from 1969, and the annual
average unemployment rate increased from 3.5
to 4.9 percent. The following sections describe
developments during the year, with special
emphasis on the fourth quarter.

Civilian labor force and total employment
The civilian labor force averaged 83.4 million in the fourth quarter of 1970, up 560,000
from the third quarter, after seasonal adjustment. The fourth-quarter increase exceeded




those registered over the 2 preceding quarters
but was well below the first quarter pickup
(920,000). Total employment, at 78.6 million,
remained virtually unchanged for the second
straight quarter, after declining 460,000 in the
second quarter (but rising 420,000 in the f i r s t
quarter).
For the year as a whole, the civilian labor
force averaged 82.7 million, up nearly 2 million from 1969. A large reduction in the Armed
Forces (320,000), along with normal population growth and a further rise in the participation of women in the labor market, contributed to the 1970 increase. Total employment rose by 730,000 to 78.6 million, with almost the entire advance taking place among parttime workers, mostly women. Nonagricultural
employment ( w h i c h includes self-employed,
private household, and unpaid family workers,
as well as wage and salary workers) rose
870,000, while agricultural employment continued its long-term decline, falling by 140,000.

unemployment, however, at 8.8 weeks in 1970,
was only about one week higher than in 1969.
The number of unemployed persons, at 4.8
million (seasonally adjusted) in the fourth quarter of 1970, was up by 500,000 from the JulySeptember period. The fourth quarter rise in
joblessness exceeded the previous quarter's
increase (350,000) and approximated the unemployment rises in the second and first quarters
of the year (570,000 and 490,000, respectively).
The number of persons unemployed for 15
weeks or longer reached 890,000 in the fourth
quarter of 1970 (seasonally adjusted), more
than double the number a year earlier.

The jobless rate averaged 4.9 percent in
1970, well above the 16-year low of 3.5 percent reached in 1969. Unemployment rates rose
the most for adult men (from 2.1 to 3.5 percent) and full-time workers (from 3.1 to 4.5
percent). Rates for adult women (4.8 percent)
and teenagers (15.3 percent) were also up
substantially over the year. Among household
heads, both male and female, the jobless rate
rose from 1.8 to 2.9 percent.

The overall unemployment rate rose to 5.8
percent in the fourth quarter of 1970, after increasing from 3.6 to 5.2 percent over the first
3 quarters. Jobless rates for most groups of
workers rose substantially in the last quarter.
Unemployment among white-collar workers rose
especially sharply, increasing from 2.9 to 3.5
percent, after remaining unchanged between the
second and third quarter. Increases occurred
among all the major white-collar groups, but
were particularly pronounced for professional
and clerical workers. The rise in joblessness
among these two groups probably reflects the
weakness in aerospace employment as well as
general efforts by employers to hold down
costs by trimming the rolls of non-production
workers.

Industry employment and hours

The jobless rate for blue-collar workers rose
less rapidly than for white-collar workers in
the October-December period, with the advance
(from 7.0 to 7.4 percent) concentrated among
operatives. Among the industry groups, joblessness for persons last employed in manufacturing continued to rise in the fourth quarter. However, unemployment among construction workers showed signs of improvement in
the latter part of 1970, as housing activity
began to recover from its slump.
For the year as a whole, overall unemployment averaged 4.1 million, up more than 1 million from 1969 and the highest annual level
since 1963. The number of long-term unemployed was up by 290,000 to 660,000, the first
rise in the level of long-term unemployment
since 1961. The average (mean) duration of




Although both whites and Negroes experienced
higher unemployment in 1970, the increase in
the white rate (from 3.1 to 4.5 percent) was
proportionately steeper than the increase in the
Negro rate (from 6.4 to 8.2 percent). As a
result, the ratio of Negro-to-white joblessness
fell significantly below 2 to 1 in 1970 for the
first time since 1953.

Nonagricultural payroll employment declined
for the third consecutive quarter in the OctoberDecember period, dropping by 300,000 to 70.2
million (seasonally adjusted). The fourth quarter
decline was largely due to the adverse affects of the automobile strike.
In the goods-producing sector, employment
fell 600,000, the fifth straight quarterly decline. In contrast, employment in the serviceproducing sector showed its largest quarterly
gain (290,000) since the first quarter of 1970.
The fourth quarter increase chiefly reflected
employment gains in State and local government and miscellaneous services. Trade employment was unchanged for the third consecutive quarter.
For 1970 as a whole, nonagricultural payroll employment averaged 70.7 million, 400,000
above the 1969 level. This was the smallest
year-to-year rise since 1961, when employment actually declined. All of the year's net
growth in payroll employment occurred among
service-producing industries, which posted an
increase of 1,250,000. The largest gains were
in State and local government (450,000) and

m i s c e l l a n e o u s services (370,000). Goodsproducing employment declined by 860,000 in
1970, with the drop concentrated in durable
goods (680,000); employment in construction
and nondurable goods industries each fell by
90,000 over the year.




The average workweek fell by 0.5 hour in
1970, to 37.2 hours, with the decline widespread among all major industries. In manufacturing, the workweek dropped by 0.8 hour
to 39.8 hours and overtime declined to 3.0
hours, its lowest level since 1963.

the data cover both salaried workers and hourly paid wage-board employees. Since these averages relate to hours and earnings of all workers, both supervisory and nonsupervisory, they are not

Technical N o t e
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from three
major sources: (1) household interviews, (2) reports from employers, and (3) administrative statistics of unemployment
insurance systems.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from a
sample survey of the population 16 years of age and over. The
survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census
for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive
data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed,
including such characteristics as age, sex, color, marital status,
occupations, hours of work, and duration of unemployment.
The survey also provides data on the characteristics and past
work experience of those not in the labor force. The information
is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about
5 0 , 0 0 0 households, representing 4 4 9 areas in 8 6 3 counties and
independent cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District
of Columbia. The data collected are based on the activity or
status reported for the calendar week including the 12th of the
month.
Data based on establishment records are compiled each
month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The establishment
surveys are designed to provide detailed industry information
on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly
hours, average hourly and weekly earnings, job vacancies, and
labor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan area*.
The employment, hours, and earnings series are based on payroll
reports from a sample of establishments employing about 3 0
million nonagriculture wage and salary workers. The data relate
to all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the
payroll period which includes the 12th of the month. Based
on a somewhat smaller sample, labor turnover data relate to
actions occurring during the month while job vacancies pertain
to those outstanding at the end of the month.
Data based on administrative
records of
unemployment
insurance systems furnish a complete count of insured unemployment among the two-thirds of the Nation's labor force
covered by unemployment insurance programs. Weekly reports,
by State, are issued on the number of initial claims, the volume,
and rate of insured unemployment under State unemployment
insurance programs, and the volume under programs of unemployment compensation for Federal employees, ex-servicemen,
and railroad workers. These statistics are published by the
Manpower Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."

Relation between the household and establishment series
The household and establishment data supplement one
another, each providing significant types of information that the
other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for
example, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived
only from establishment reports.
Data f r o m these two sources differ from each other because
of differences in definition and coverage, sources of information,
methods of collection, and estimating procedures. Sampling
variability and response errors are additional reasons for discrepancies. The major factors which have a differential effect
on levels and trends of the two series are as follows:




Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition of employment
comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and
other private household workers), self-employed persons, and
unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during the survey
week in family-operated enterprises. Employment in both
agricultural and nonagricultural industries is inpluded. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments.
Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population without duplication
since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or not
in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job
are counted only once and are classified according to the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during the
survey week. In the figures based on establishment records,
persons who worked in more than one establishment during
the reporting period are counted each time their names appear
on payrolls.
Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey includes
among the employed all persons who had jobs but were not at
work during the survey w e e k — t h a t is, were not working but
had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or
because they were taking time off for various other reasons,
even if they were not paid by their employers for the time off.
In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on leave paid for
by the company are included, but not those on leave without
pay for the entire payroll period.
For a comprehensive discussion of the differences between
household and establishment survey employment data, see
Gloria P. Green's article "Comparing employment estimates
from household and payroll surveys," Monthly Labor Review,
December 1969. Reprints of this article are available upon
request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

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

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

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

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 nonagricultural wage and salary workers are
covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All workers
in certain activities, such as interstate railroads, are excluded. In
addition, small firms in covered industries are also excluded
in 28 States (as of January 1, 1970). In general, these are
establishments with less than four employees.

COLLECTION

AND

COVERAGE

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




Data

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, 50,000 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 2,250 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 . 5 percent. In addition to the 50,000 occupied units,
there are 8,500 sample units in an average month which are
visited but found to be vacant or otherwise not to be
enumerated. Part of the sample is changed each month.
The rotation plan provides for three-fourths of the sample to
be common from one month to the next, and one-half to
be common with the same month a year ago.

(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 w o r k , 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 fulltime schedules include, in addition to those working 35 hours or
more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomic
reasons and usually work full time.
Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor force consists of persons working on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily working part time (because full-time work is not available),
and unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The part-time
labor force consists of persons working part time voluntarily and
unemployed persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job
but not at work during the survey week are classified according
to whether they usually work full or part time.
Labor force time lost is a measure of man-hours lost to the
economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed as a percent of potentially available
man-hours. It is computed by assuming: (1) that unemployed
persons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours,
(2) that those looking for part-time work lost the average number of hours actually worked by voluntary part-time workers
during the survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5 hours and the
actual number of hours they worked.
White and Negro and other races are terms used to describe
the color or race of workers. The Negro and other races category,
which had formerly been identified as "nonwhite," includes all
persons who are observed in the enumeration process to be other
than white. A t the time of the 1960 Census of Population, approximately 9 2 percent of the Negro and other races population
group were Negro; the remainder were American Indians,
Eskimos, Orientials, and other nonwhites. Tables in this volume
which contain these data utilize the word "color" to so indicate.

ESTIMATING METHODS
Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of the results for a given month become available simultaneously and
are based on returns from the entire panel of respondents. There
are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark data
on labor force, employment, or unemployment. Therefore, revisions of the historical data are not an inherent feature of this
statistical program.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed
households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for occupied sample households for which no information was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or unavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately
by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six groups—
color (white and Negro and other races) 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 a procedure in which the
sample proportions are weighted by the known 1 9 6 0 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 United States 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 of month-to-month changes especially and of the
levels for most items also.

Rounding of Estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals
shown in the same tables because of independent rounding of
totals and components to the nearest thousand. Differences,
however, are insignificant.

Reliability of the Estimates

Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may differ
from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possible
to take a complete census using the same schedules and
procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that
is, the variations that might occur by chance because only a
sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are about 2
out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from a
complete census by less than the standard error. The chances are
about 19 out of 2 0 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

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
a persons working a specific number of hours as 15,000,000, an
increase of 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 over the previous month. Linear interpolation in the first column of table B shows that the standard error
of 15,000,000 is about 133,000. Consequently, the chances are
about 68 out of 100 that the sample estimate differs by less than
133,000 from the figure which would have been obtained from
a complete count of the number of persons working the given
number of hours. Using the 133,000 as the standard error of the
monthly level in table C, it may be seen that the standard error
of the 5 0 0 , 0 0 0 increase is about 126,000.

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

COLLECTION

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

Data

establishment making more than one product or engaging
in more than one activity, the entire employment of the
establishment is included under the industry indicated by the
most important product or activity.
All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings,
job vacancy, and labor turnover series are classified in accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau
of the Budget, 1967.

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

Shuttle Schedules
T w o types of data collection schedules are used: Form BLS
790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours;
and Form D L 1219—Monthly Report on Job Openings and
Labor Turnover. These schedules are of the "shuttle" type,
with space for each month of the calendar year. The collecting
agency returns the schedule to the respondent each month so
that the next month's data can be entered. This procedure
assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting,
since the respondent can see the figures he has reported for
previous months.
Form BLS 7 9 0 provides for entry of data or the number
of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagriculturai establishments and, for most industries, payroll and manhours of production and related workers or nonsupervisory
workers for the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. Form D L 1219 provides for the collection of information on the total number of accessions and separations,
by type, during the calendar month, and three job vacancy
items as of the end of the month: current job vacancies,
(i.e., vacancies available for immediate filling), current vacancies which have remained unfilled for 3 0 days or more, and
openings with future starting dates.

CONCEPTS
Industrial Classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and Form
D L 1219 are classified into industries on the basis of their
principal product or activity determined from information on
annual sales volume. This information is collected each year
on a supplement to the monthly 7 9 0 or 1219 report. For an




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 f i r m ) , on paid
holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the
pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the rest
of the period, are counted as employed. Not counted as
employed are persons who are laid off, on leave without
pay, or on strike for the entire period or who are hired but
have not reported to work during the period.

Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payrolls
and man-hours for production and related workers in manufacturing and mining, construction workers in contract construction, and nonsupervisory employees in the remaining nonagriculturai 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 foremen
and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees)
engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping,
maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services, product
development, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g.,
power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees in
the contract construction division: working foremen, journeymen, mechanic's, apprentices, laborers, etc., whether working
atnhe 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 work-

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

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

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




Private

This series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions except government. The principal source of payroll data is Form
BLS 790. Secondary source material such as Employment
and
Wages (Manpower Administration), County Business Patterns
(Bureau of the Census), and additional supporting information
such as The Hospital Guide, Part 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.

Railroad Hours and Earnings
The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in the
M - 3 0 0 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate
to all employees except executives, officials, and staff assistants
(ICC group I) who received pay during the month. Gross average
hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensation by
total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly
basis, by the number of employees, as defined above. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly
hours by average hourly earnings.

Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
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
gross average weekly earnings for all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industry division excluding other income
and income earned by other family members.
"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
(1957-59).

Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay are
computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for
the industry group by the sum of total production-worker manhours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January
1956, these data were based on the application of adjustment
factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described in the
Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at Vh 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.

Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours are
prepared

by dividing the current month's aggregate by

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 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:
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
3 0 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.

monthly average for the 1957-59 period. The man-hour aggre-

gates are the product of average weekly hours and productionworker employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product
of gross average weekly earnings and production-worker employment.

Labor Turnover
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and salary
workers into and out of employed status with respect to individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a calendar month, is divided into two broad types: accessions (new
hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a
rate per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees,
whether full- or part-time, permanent Dr 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 ot permanent and temporary
additions to the employment roll, including both new and rehired employees.




Job vacancies are the stock of unfilled job openings as of the
close of the last business day of the reference month. Openings
for all kinds of positions, classifications and employment, fulltime, part-time, permanent, temporary, and seasonal are included. Excluded are jobs to be filled by recall from layoff,
transfer, promotion, demotion or return from paid or unpaid
leave; jobs unoccupied because of labor-management disputes;
job openings for which "new" workers were already hired and
scheduled to start work later; and openings with future starting
dates, which are requested as a separate item.
Job vacancies are defined as vacant jobs which are immediately available for filling, and for which the firm is actively trying to find or recruit workers from outside the firm.
"Actively trying to find or recruit" means that the establishment is engaged in current efforts to fill the job vacancies by
means of orders listed with public or private employment agencies and school placement offices; notification to labor unions
and professional organizations; "help wanted" advertising (newspaper, posted notice, etc.) recruitment programs; and interview
and selection of applicants.
Long-term job vacancies are those current vacancies which
have continued unfilled for 3 0 days or more.

The reporting establishment is also asked to indicate the
number of openings with future starting dates for which the firm
is actively trying to recruit workers from outside the firm.
Job openings with future starting dates may exist for such
reasons as: job unavailable until expected separation of present
incumbent occurs; work will not start until some future date;
new branch to be opened in the future; or anticipated increase in
business.
The job vacancy rate is computed by dividing the number of
job vacancies by the sum of employment plus vacancies, and
multiplying that quotient by 100.
Occupational classifications are made in accordance with
those established in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, Third
Edition, U.S. Department of Labor, 1965.
ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the use of the "link
relative" technique, which is a form of ratio estimation, (2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and
(3) the use of size and regional stratification.

from reports of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, covering three-fourths of
the total nonagricultural employment in the United States, are
prepared under the direction of the Manpower Administration.
Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and a number of other agencies in private industry
or goverment.
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one, and
the new benchmark for each industry is then carried forward
progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.
Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment; the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level. A comparison of the actual
amounts of revisions made in the last 3 benchmark years as
shown in table E.
Table E. Nonagricultural payroll employment estimates, by
industry divisions, as a percentage of the benchmark for
1967-1969

The " L i n k Relative" Technique
From a sample composed of establishments reporting for
both the previous and current months, the ratio of current
month employment to that of the previous month is computed.
This is called a link relative. The estimates of employment (all
employees, including production and nonproduction workers together) for the current month are obtained by multiplying the
estimates for the previous month by these "link relatives." In
addition, small bias correction factors are applied to selected employment estimates each month. The size of the bias correction
factors is determined from past experience. Other features of the
general procedures are described later in table K, Summary of
Methods for Computing Industry Statistics on Employment,
Hours, Earnings, Job Vacancies, and Labor Turnover. Further
details are given in the technical notes—Chapter 2, Employment, Hours and Earnings, and Chapter 3, Labor Turnover,
reprinted from the Handbook of Methods for Surveys and
Studies, BLS Bulletin 1 4 5 8 — w h i c h 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 siz<
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 1969 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made annually.
The primary sources of benchmark information are employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by State agencies

Data for all months since the last benchmark to which the
series has been adjusted are subject to revision. T o 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
The sampling plan used in the current employment statistics
program is known as "sampling proportionate to average size of
establishment." This design is an optimum allocation design
among strata since the sampling variance is proportional to the
average size of establishments. The universe of establishments is
stratified first by industry and then within each industry by size
of establishment in terms of employment. For each industry, the
number of sample units is distributed among the size class cells
on the basis of average employment per establishment in each
cell; In practice, this is equivalent to distributing the predetermined total number of establishments required in the sample
among the cells on the basis of the ratio of employment in each

cell to total employment in the industry. Within each noncertainty stratum the sample members are selected at random.
Under this type of design, large establishments fall into the
sample with certainty. The size of the 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 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. T o keep the sample to a size which can be handled by
available resources, it is necessary to accept samples in these
divisions with a smaller proportion of universe employment than
is the case for most manufacturing industries. Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show
less fluctuation from regular cyclical or seasonal patterns than establishments in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples
(in terms of employment) generally produce reliable estimates.
In the context of the BLS employment and job vacancylabor turnover statistics programs, with their emphasis on producing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be obtained
which will provide coverage of a sufficiently large segment of the
universe to provide reasonably reliable estimates that can be
published promptly and regularly. The present sample meets
these specifications for most industries. With its use, the BLS is
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.

Since some establishments do not report the information,
job vacancy estimates currently are based on reports from approximately 9 0 percent of the sample establishments covering
about 4 3 percent of universe employment.

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 high degree of accuracy. However, since the link
relative technique requires the use of the previous month.'s estimate as the base in computing the current month's estimate,
small sampling and response errors may cumulate over several
months. To remove this accumulated error, the estimates are adjusted annually to new benchmarks. In addition to 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 1969 benchmark is available from the Bureau upon
request.)

One measure of the reliability of ratio estimates is the
root-mean-square error (RMSE). This measure is the standard
deviation

estimates
(RMSE=\/(Standard D e v i a t i o n ) 2 * (Bias) 2 ).
If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from its benchmark by less
than the root-mean-square error. The chances are about 19 out
of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the root-meansquare error.
Approximations of the root-mean-square errors (based on the
experience of the last several years) of differences between final
estimates and benchmarks are presented in table H.

Measures of reliability for the job vacancy estimates are
given by the relative errors in table J. A relative error is standard
error expressed as a percent of the estimate. The chances are
about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ
from a complete census by a smaller percentage than the relative
error. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the di/ference
would be a smaller percentage than twice the relative error.

would have been obtained if it were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.

Assuming 12-month intervals between benchmark revisions.

For the most recent months, estimates of employment,
hours, and earnings are preliminary and are so footnoted in
the tables. These figures are based on less than the total sample and are revised when all the reports in the sample have
been received. Table I. 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 of 1 cent for hourly earnings.

Reliability of Job Vacancy Estimates
As with the employment estimates, the estimates derived
from the job vacancy survey may differ from the figures that




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