NEW BENCHMARK COMPARISON. . .

A measure of the quality of the BLS
national employment estimates is pro
vided by a comparison of these figures
with the first quarter 1957 benchmark.
The estimate of total nonfarm employ
ment based on the sample differed from
the benchmark by only one-half of 1
percent.
Details of this comparison
are discussed in an article beginning
on page v.

BLS E m p lo y m e n t E s t im a t e s C o m p a r e d W it h 1 9 5 7 T o t a ls . . .

Each year the Annual Supplement Issue
presents annual average data for the 6
previous years.
In this issue, the
Annual Supplement section beginning on
page 81 contains averages for 1952-57
for all currently published employ
ment, hours, and earnings series.

Employment Highlights
JU N E 1958
''4
Nonfarm employment rose by kk0,000 over the month
to 50.^ million in June— the second successive month
of better-than-seasonal rise. The June rise was shared
by manufacturing industries, which had shown a steady
decline over the past year and a half. The only manu
facturing industry which continued to report signifi
cant job losses was machinery.

better-than-sea8onal gain in retail trade employment.
A small decline in State and local government employ
ment reflected the usual summer drop in school staffs.
Nonfarm Employment 2.1 Million Below Year Ago
Despite the gains of the past 2 months, the number
of jobs in nonfarm industries was 2.1 million below the
level of a year ago.
Almost two-thirds of this job
loss was in durable-goods industries, primarily in
transportation equipment, machinery, primary metals,
fabricated metals, and electrical machinery.
Other
large over-the-year declines were reported in transpor
tation, wholesale and retail trade, contract construc
tion, and mining.

The factory workweek rose sharply from 38*6 hours
in May to 39*2 hours in June. This gain of 0.6 hours,
coming on top of the rise of 0.3 hours last month, re
sulted in the sharpest 2-month rise in the postwar
period.
Average weekly hours in June, however, were
0.8 hours under a year ago.
Earnings of factory workers rose by $1.27 to
$83.10 per week in June. Average hourly earnings re
mained at $2 .12 .

Factory Workweek Rises by 0.6 Hours
Hours of work in manufacturing rose sharply to
39*2 hours in June. In the past 2 months, almost a full
hour has been added to the factory workweek, more than
half of which has been overtime work.
Overtime hours
averaged 2.0 hours per week in June compared to 1.7 in
May, and were still O.U below a year ago.

Factory Employment Up
Employment in manufacturing rose by 150,000 over
the month to 15.2 million in June. This rise was some
what more than usual for the month and marked the
first better-than-seasonal job upturn after a year and
a half of steady decline.

Greater-than-seasonal increases in hours of work
were reported by every major durable-goods industry ex
cept transportation equipment. The nondurable-goods in
dustries also showed improvement.

Greater-than-usual job gains were reported by
steel mills and plants producing metal stampings, as
well as by the electrical machinery, lumber, furniture,
and stone, clay, and glass industries.
On the other
hand, producers of heavy equipment continued to report
job cutbacks and employment in the automobile industry
remained at a relatively low level.
The job rise in
the nondurable-goods sector was moderately better than
seasonal this month.

Compared with a year ago the factory workweek was
down by 0.8 hours.
Weekly Earnings Rise
Average weekly earnings rose by $1.27 over the
month to $83.10 in Juné as a result of the longer work
week. Average hourly earnings remained at $2.12.

Nonmanufacturlng Employment Continues to Rise
The largest increases in weekly earnings from May

The titles and descriptions of industries presented
in the Standard Industrial Claaalflcal Manual. (U. S.
Bureau of the Budget, Washington, D. C.) are used for
classifying reports from manufacturing and government
establishments ; the 1942 Industrial Classification
Code. (U. S. Social Security Board) for reports from
all other establishments.

The statistics for nonfarm industries presented in
this monthly report are part of the broad program of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics to provide timely, com
prehensive, accurate, and detailed information for the
use of businessmen, government officials, legislators,
labor unions, research workers, and the general public.

ESTABLISHMENT REPORTS:

a. Collection
The employment statistics program, which is based
on establishment payroll reports, provides current data
for both full- and part-time workers on payrolls of
nonagricultural establishments (see glossary for defi
nition, p. 7-4S) during a specified period each month.
The BLS uses two ’
’
shuttle”schedules for this program,
the BLS Form 790 (for employment, payroll, and manhours data) and the Form 1219 (for labor turnover data).
The shuttle schedule, used by BLS for more than 25
years, is designed to assist firms to report consist
ently, accurately, and with a minimum of cost. The
questionnaire provides space for the establishment to
report for each month of the current calendar yearj in
this way, the employer uses the same schedule for the
entire year.
Under a cooperative arrangement with the BLS,
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
Division of Manpower and Employment Statistics for use
in preparing the national series.

DEFINITIONS AND ESTIMATING
METHODS:
A.

EMPLOBENT

Definition
Employment data for all except Federal Government
establishments refer to persons who worked during, or
received pay for, any part of the pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month. For Federal Government
establishments current data generally refer to persons
who worked on, or received pay for, the last day of
the month.
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave, paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who work
during a part of the specified pay period and are un
employed or on strike during the other part of the
period are counted as employed. Persons are not con
sidered employed who are laid off or are on leave with
out pay, who are on strike for the entire period, or
who are hired but do not report to work during the
period. Proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family
workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in house
holds are also excluded. Government employment covers
only civilian employees; Federal military personnel
are shown separately, but their number is excluded
from total nonagricultural employment.
With respect to employment in educational institu
tions (private and governmental), BLS considers regular
full-time teachers to be employed during the summer
vacation period whether or not they are specifically
paid in those months.
Benchmark Data
Employment estimates are periodically compared with
complete counts of employment in the various industries
2-E




defined as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments
made as indicated by the total counts or benchmarks.
The comparison made for the first 3 months of 1957 re
sulted in changes amounting to 0.5 percent of all non
agricultural employment, identical with the extent of
the adjustment to the first quarter 1956 benchmark. The
changes were less than 0.5 percent for 3 of the 3 major
industry divisions; under 2 percent for 2 other divi
sions; and 3.2, 3.3, and 6.4 percent for the remaining
3 divisions. The manufacturing total was changed by
only 0.1 percent for the second successive year. Within
manufacturing, the benchmark and estimate differed by
1.0 percent or less in 39 of the 132 individual indus
tries, 41 industries were adjusted by 1.1 to 2.5 per
cent, and an additional 27 industries differed by ?.65.0 percent. One significant cause of differences be
tween the benchmark and estimate is the change in indus
trial classification of individual firms, which is usu
ally not reflected in BLS estimates until they are ad
justed to new benchmarks. Other causes are sampling
and response errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry,
compiled by State agencies from reports of establish
ments covered under State unemployment insurance laws.
Supplementary tabulations prepared by the U. S.
Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance are used for
the group of establishments exempt from State unem
ployment insurance laws because of their small size.
Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded
from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from
a variety of other sources.
The BLS estimates which are prepared for the
benchmark quarter are compared with the new benchmark
levels, industry by industry. Where revisions are
necessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between
the new benchmark and the preceding one. Following
revision for these intermediate periods, the industry
data from the most recent benchmark are projected to
the current month by use of the sample trends. Under
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.
Estimating Ffethod
The estimating procedure for industries for which
data on both ”
all employees”and ”
production and re
lated workers”are published (manufacturing and
selected mining industries) is outlined below; the
first step under this method is also used for indus
tries for which only figures on “
all employees”are
published.
The first step is to compute total employment (all
employees) in the industry for the month following the
benchmark period. The all-employee total for the last
benchmark month (e.g., March) is multiplied by the
percent change of total employment over the month for
the group of establishments reporting for both March
and April. Thus, if firms in the BLS sample for an
industry report 30,000 employees in March and 31,200
in April, April employment is 104 percent (31,200
divided by 30,000) of March employment. If the all
employee benchmark in March is 40,000, the all-employee
total in April would be 104 percent of 40,000 or
41,600.

The second step is to compute the productionworker total for the industry. The all-employee total
for the month is multiplied by the ratio of production

workers to all employees. This ratio is computed from
establishment reports in the monthly sample. Thus, if
these firms in April report 24,960 production workers
and a total of 31,200 employees, the ratio of produc
tion workers to all employees would be ,80 (24,960
divided by 31,200), The production-^worker total in
April would be 33,280 (41,600 multiplied by .80),
Figures for subsequent months are computed by
carrying forward the totals for the previous month ac
cording to the method described above.
The number of women employees in manufacturing,
published quarterly, is computed by multiplying the
all-employee estimate for the industry by the ratio
of women to all employees as reported in the industry
sample.
Employment Adjusted for Seasonal Variation
Employment series for many industries reflect a
regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be
measured on the basis of past experience. By elimi
nating that part of the change in employment which can
be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is pos
sible to clarify the cyclical and other nonseasonal
movements in the series. Adjusted employment aggre
gates are shown and also indexes (1947-49 = 100) de
rived from these aggregates. The indexes have the
additional advantage of comparing the current sea
sonally adjusted employment level with average employ
ment in the base period.
Comparability with Other Employment Estimates
Employment data published by other government and
private agencies may differ from BLS employment sta
tistics because of differences in definition, sources
of information, methods of collection, classification,
and estimation. BLS monthly figures are not directly
comparable, for example, with the estimates of the
Census Monthly Report on the Labor Force (MRLF).
Census data are obtained by personal interviews with
individual members of a small sample of households
and are designed to provide information on the work
status of the whole population, classified by their
demographic characteristics. The BLS, on the other
hand, obtains data by mail questionnaire which are
based on the payroll records of business units, and
prepares detailed statistics on the industrial and
geographic distribution of employment and on hours of
work and earnings.
Since BLS employment figures are derived from
establishment payroll records, persons who worked in
more than one establishment during the reporting peri
od will be counted more than once in the BLS series.
B y definition, proprietors, self-employed persons,
domestic servants,’and unpaid family workers are ex
cluded from the BLS but not the MRLF series.
Employment estimates compiled by the Bureau of the
Census from its censuses and/or annual sample surveys
of manufacturing establishments also differ from BLS
employment statistics. Among the important reasons
for lack of comparability are differences in indus
tries covered, in the business units considered parts
of an establishment, and in the industrial classifi
cation of establishments. Similar differences exist
between the BLS data and those in Countv Business
Patterns published jointly by the U.S. Department of
Commerce and the U.S. Department of Health, Education
and Welfare.




B.

LABOR TURNOVER

Definition
”Labor turnover,” as used in the BLS program, re
fers to the gross movement of wage and salary workers
into and out of employment status with respect to in
dividual firms during a calendar month. This movement
is subdivided into two broad types: accessions (new
hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of
employment initiated py either employer or employee ).
Each type of action is cumulated for a calendar month
and expressed as a rate per 100 employees. All em
ployees, including executive, office, sales, other
salaried personnel, and production workers, are cov
ered by both the turnover movements and the employment
base used in computing labor turnover rates. All
groups of employees— full- and part-time, permanent,
and temporary— are included. Transfers from one es
tablishment to another within a company are not con
sidered to be turnover items.
Efethod of Computation
To compute turnover rates for individual indus
tries, the total number of each type of action (ac
cessions, quits, etc,) reported for a calendar month
by the sample establishments in each industry is first
divided by the total number of employees reported by
these establishments, who worked during, or received
pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the
15th of that month. The result is multiplied by 100
to obtain the turnover rate.
For example, in an industry sample, the total
number of employees who worked during, or received
pay for, the week of January 12-18 was reported as
25,498. During the period January 1-31 a total of
284 employees in all reporting firms quit. The quit
rate for the industry is:
284 x 100 = 1.1
25,498
To compute turnover rates for broader industrial
categories, the rates for the component industries
are weighted by the estimated employment.
Separate turnover rates for men and women are pub
lished quarterly for 1 month in each quarter. Only
accessions, quits, and total separations are publish
ed. These rates are computed in the same manner as
the all-employee rates; for example, the quit rate for
women is obtained from an industry sample by dividing
the number of women who quit during the month by the
number of women employees reported.
Average monthly turnover rates for the year for
all employees are computed by dividing the sum of the
monthly rates by 12.
Comparability with Earlier Data
Labor turnover rates are available on a compara
ble basis from January 1930 for manufacturing as a
whole and from 1943 for two coal mining and two com
munication industries. Rates for many individual in
dustries and industry groups for the period prior to
January 1950 are not comparable with those for the
subsequent period because of a revision which in
volved (1) the adoption of the Standard Industrial
Classification (1945) code structure for manufactur
ing industries, and (2) the introduction of weighting

MDnth-to-month changes in total employment in man
ufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover
rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the
Bureau!s employment series for the following reasons:

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

Average Overtime Hours
(1) Accessions and separations are computed
for the entire calendar-month; the em
ployment reports, for the most part,
refer to a i-week pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month.
(2) The turnover sample excludes certain in
dustries (see under coverage, p. 2-E).
(3) Plants on strike are not included in the
turnover computations beginning with the
month the strike starts through the month
the workers return; the influence of such
stoppages is reflected, however, in the
employment figures.

HOURS AND EARNINGS

Definitions of production workers, nonsupervisory
employees, payrolls, and man-hours from which hours
and earnings data are derived are included in the
glossary, page 7 - E . I-fethods used to compute hours
and earnings averages are described in summary of
methods for computing national statistics, page 6-E.

The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of reg
ular hours and for which premium payments were made.
If an employee works 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 b y defini
tion, the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not
necessarily move in the same direction from month to
month; 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 on the industrygroup level may also be caused b y a marked change in
gross hours for a component industry where little or
no overtime was worked in both the previous and cur
rent months. In addition, such factors as stoppages,
absenteeism, and labor turnover ma y not have the same
influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.

G r o s s A v e ra g e H o u r ly and W e e k ly E a r n in g s

Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, i.e.,
they reflect not only changes in basic hourly and in
centive 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
basis. Employment shifts 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 refer to the actual return to the worker for
a stated period of time; rates are the amounts stipu
lated for a given unit of work or time. However, the
average earnings series does not measure the level of
total labor costs on the part of the employer, since
the following are excluded: irregular bonuses, ret
roactive items, payments of various welfare benefits,
payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for
those employees not covered under the productionworker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.
Gross average weekly earnings are affected not
only by changes in gross average hourly earnings, but
also by changes in the length of the workweek, parttime work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turn
over, and absenteeism.

These series indicate changes in the level of
weekly earnings before and after adjustment for
changes in purchasing power as determined from the
BLS Consumer Price Index.

Aymbmw .KegKlY
Net spendable average weekly earnings in current
dollars are obtained by deducting Federal social se
curity and income taxes from gross weekly earnings.
The amount of income tax liability depends on the
number of dependents supported b y the worker, as well
as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these
variables, net spendable earnings have been computed
for two types of income receivers: (l) a worker with
no dependents; and (2) a worker with three depend
ents.
The computations of net spendable earnings for
both the factory worker with no dependents and the
factory worker with three dependents are based upon
the gross average weekly earnings for all production
workers in manufacturing industries without regard to
marital status, family composition, and total family
income.
Net spendable weekly earnings in 1947-49 dollars
represent an approximate measure of changes in "real”
net spendable weekly earnings. "Real” earnings are
computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index
into the spendable earnings average for the current
month. The resulting level of spendable earnings ex
pressed in 1947-49 dollars is thus adjusted for
changes in purchasing power since that base period.

ly data summarized in the M-300 report of the Inter
state 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 b y 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.
Because
hours and earnings data for manufacturing and other
nonmanufacturing industries are based upon reports to
the BLS which generally represent 1 weekly pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month, the data for
railroad employees are not strictly comparable with
other industry information s h a m in this publication.

Average Hourly Earnings. Excluding Overtime,
of Production Workers in Manufacturing
Average hourly earnings, excluding premium over
time pay, are computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for the industry group b y the sum
of total production-corker man-hours and one-half of
total overtime man-hours. Prior to January 1956, data
were based on the application of adjustment factors to
gross average hourly earnings (as described in the
Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-54-0; reprint
available, Serial No. R. 2020). Both methods elimi
nate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No
adjustment is made for other premium payment provi
sions, for example— holiday work, late-shift work, and
overtime rates other than time and one-half.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Man-Hours

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS

The indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours are pre
pared by dividing the current monthfs aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1947-49 period. These aggre
gates represent the product of average weekly hours
and employment.

State and area employment, hours, earnings, and
labor turnover statistics are collected and prepared
by State agencies in cooperation with the BLS. These
statistics are based on the same establishment re
ports used by the BLS for preparing national esti
mates. State employment series are adjusted to bench
mark data from State unemployment insurance agencies
and the Bureau of (XLd Age and Survivors Insurance.
Because some States have more recent benchmarks than
others and use slightly varying methods of computation,
the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from
the official U. S. totals prepared by the BLS.

The aggregate man-hours are defined as total manhours for which pay was received by full- and parttime production or construction workers, including
hours paid for holidays, sick leave, and vacations
taken. The man-hours are for 1 week of the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month, and may not be
typical of the entire month.

GLOSSARY
ALL EMPLUÏEES - The total number of persons on estab
lishment payrolls who worked full- or part-time or
received pay for any part of the pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month. Includes salaried
officers of corporations as well as employees on
the establishment payroll engaged in new construc
tion and major additions or alterations to the plant
who are utilized as a separate work force (forceaccount construction workers). Proprietors, selfemployed persons, domestic servants, unpaid family
workers, and members of the Armed Forces are ex
cluded.
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS - Includes working foremen,
journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, helpers, labor
ers, and similar workers engaged in new work, al
terations, demolition, and other actual construc
tion work, at the site of construction or working

assembling) ordinarily performed by members of the
construction trades; includes all such workers re
gardless of skill, engaged in any way in contract
construction activities.
CONTRACT CONSTRUCTION - Covers only firms engaged in
the construction business on a contract basis for
others. Force-account construction workers, i.e.,
hired d’
irectly by and on the payroll of Federal,
State, and local government, public utilities, and
private establishments, are excluded from contract
construction and included in the employment for such
establishments.
DURABLE GOODS - The durable-goods subdivision includes
the following major manufacturing industry groups:
ordnance and accessories; lumber and wood products;
furniture and fixtures; stone, clay, and glass pro
ducts; primary metal industries; fabricated metal

ducts; and miscellaneous manufacturing industries as
defined. This definition is consistent with that
used by other Federal agencies, e.g., Federal Re
serve Board.

speculative builders, subdividers, and developers;,
and agents and brokers).
GOVERNMENT - Covers Federal, State, and local govern
ment establishments performing legislative, execu
tive, and judicial functions, including Government
corporations, Government force-account construction,
and such units as arsenals, navy yards, and hospi
tals. Federal government employment excludes em
ployees of the Central Intelligence Agency. State
and local government employment includes teachers,
but excludes, as nominal employees, paid volunteer
firemen and elected officials of small local units.
LABOR TURNOVER:
Separations are terminations of employment during
the calendar month and are classified according to
cause: quits, discharges, layoffs, and miscellaneous
separations (including military), as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment during the
calendar month initiated by employees for such
reasons as: acceptance of a job in another company,
dissatisfaction, return to school, marriage, mater
nity, ill health, or voluntary retirement where no
company pension is provided. Failure to report aft
er being hired and unauthorized absences of more
than 7 consecutive calendar days are also clas
sified as quits. Prior to 1940, miscellaneous
separations were also included in this category.
Discharges are terminations of employment during
the calendar month inititated by the employer for
such reasons as employees1 incompetence, violation
of rules, dishonesty, insubordination, laziness,
habitual absenteeism, or inability to meet physical
standards.
Layoffs are terminations of employment during the
calendar month lasting or expected to last more than
7 consecutive calendar days -without pay, initi
ated by the employer without prejudice to the work
er, for such reasons as lack of orders or materials,
release of temporary help, conversion of plant, in
troduction of labor-saving machinery or processes,
or suspensions of operations without pay during
inventory periods.

ESTABLISHMENT - "A single physical location where busi
ness is conducted or where services or industrial
operations are performed; for example, a factory,
mill, store, mine, or farm. Where a single physical
location comprises two or more units which maintain
separate payroll and inventory records and which are
engaged in distinct or separate activities for which
different industry classifications are provided in
the Standard Industrial Classification, each unit
shall be treated as a separate establishment.
An
establishment is not necessarily identical with thq
business concern or firm which may consist of one
or more establishments. It is also to be distin
guished from organizational subunits, departments,
or divisions within an establishment.11 (Standard
Industrial Classification Mànual, U. S. Bureau of
the Budget, Vol. I, Part I, p. 1, November 1945.)

Persons on leave of absence (paid or unpaid)
with the approval of the employer are not counted as
separations until such time as it is definitely de
termined that such persons will not return to work.
At that time, a separation is reported as one of the
above types, depending on the circumstances.

FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE - Covers private
establishments operating in the fields of finance
(banks, security dealers, loan agencies, holding com
panies, and other finance agencies); insurance (in
surance carriers and independent agents and bro
kers); and real estate (real estate owners, including

Accessions are the total number of permanent and
temporary additions to the employment roll during
the calendar month, including both new and rehired
employees. Persons returning to work after a layoff,
military separations, or other absences who have been
counted as separations are considered accessions.




Miscellaneous separations (including military)
are terminations of employment during the calendar
month because of permanent disability, death, re
tirement on company pension, and entrance into the
Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 consecu
tive calendar days. Prior to 191*0, miscellaneous
separations were included with quits. Beginning
September 1940, military separations were included
here.

7-E

MAN-HOURS - Covers man-hours worked or paid for of
specified groups of workers, during the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month. The specified
group of workers in manufacturing and mining indus
tries, laundries, and cleaning and dyeing plants is
production and related workers; in the contract con
struction industry, it is construction workers; and
in the other industries, it is nonsupervisory em
ployees. The man-hours include hours paid for holi
days, sick leave, and vacations taken; if the em
ployee elects to work during a vacation period, the
vacation pay and the hours it represents are omitted.
MANUFACTURING - Covers private establishments engaged
in the mechanical or chemical transformation of in
organic or organic substances into new products and
usually described as plants, factories, or mills,
which characteristically use power-driven machines
and materials-handling equipment. Establishments
engaged in assembling component parts of manufac
tured products are also considered manufacturing if
the new product is neither a structure nor other
fixed improvement. Government manufacturing opera
tions such as arsenals and navy yards are excluded
from manufacturing and are included under Government.
MINING - Covers establishments engaged in the extrac
tion from the earth of Organic and inorganic miner
als which occur in nature as solids, liquids, or
gases; includes various contract services required
in mining operations, such as removal of overburden,

services are closely associated with those of the
employees listed.
OVERTIME HOURS - Covers premium overtime hours of pro
duction and related workers during the pay period
ending nearest the l£th 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.
PAYROLL - The weekly payroll for the specified groups
