These adjustments may also affect the hours and earnings series because employment levels are used as weights. All industry statistics after March 1959, the present benchmark date, are therefore subject to revision.

Prepared under the supervision of Dorothy Hinton EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTS June 1962 THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: JUNE 1962 Changes in employment were seasonal in most nonfarm industries in June . Nonfarm payroll employment rose by nearly one-half million to a record 55. 7 million, some 1. 2 million higher than a year earlier. Employment increases in manufacturing industries were predominantly seasonal after substantial improvement in earlier months. There was a better-thanliisual gain over the month in transportation equipment, but a sharp reduction in primary metals as steel output fell to low levels. The average workweek in manufacturing, at 40. 6 hours, showed less than the usual increase for this time of year. This was still one of the longest workweeks for the month in the postwar period, and included an unusually large amount of overtime work--2. 9 hours. As reported on July 5, unemployment rose seasonally by 750,000 over the month to 4. 5 million. Teenagers moving from school into the job market accounted for most of the seasonal increase in unemployment. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained virtually unchanged at 5. 5 percent, but there was a rise in the rate for adult men from 4. 4 to 4. 7 percent. State insured unemployment, which does not include students, declined by 100, 000 to 1. 5 million in June. Total employment, at a record level of 69. 5 million in June, was up by 1. 3 million from May and was about 1 million higher than in June 1961. After allowance for seasonal movements, however, it has shown little change since February. Total nonagricultural employment, including the self-employed, unpaid family workers and domestics, with a one-half million seasonal gain, was 63. 2 million in June, about 1. 2 million higher than a year ago. Included in the total were 2. 6 million nonfarm workers on part time because of economic reasons. This group rose by 300, 000 over the month as teenagers entering the labor market took parttime jobs because they could not find full-time work. Agricultural employment expanded by 850, 000 in June, the peak summer month for farm activity, but showed a continuation of its long-term decline. Over 2 million teenagers and nearly one-half million young adults entered the labor force in June, raising the total, including the Armed Forces, to 76.9 million. For the second quarter as a whole, the lab'or^force averaged about 600, 000 higher than a year earlier (after allowance i:or the April change in estimation procedures). This is the fourth consecutive quarter in which the overthe-year growth in the labor force has been comparatively small. iii TRENDS IN EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT July 1948 to date (Actual and seasonally adjusted) MILLIONS OF PERSONS 72 I I I I I I MILLIONS OF PERSONS 72 Total Civilian Employment 70 70 68 68 66 66 SEASONALLY - ADJUSTED 64 64 62 62 60 60 58 58 ^ACTUAL 56 56 ot I I I Unemployment TOTAL .ACTUAL TOTAL SEASONALLY ADJUSTED Shaded area represents number receiving temporary extended unemployment benefits. 1948 1949 1950 1951 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1 Insured under following programs: State unemployment insurance, unemployment compensation for Federal employees, veterans, ex-servicemen, railroad workers (RRB) and temporary programs. Beginning in January 1960. data include Alaska and Hawaii Nonfarm Payroll Employment Nonfarm payroll employment increased seasonally by almost 500, 000 in June to a record 55, 7 million, some 1. 2 million higher than a year earlier. Increased employment in construction, manufacturing, trade, and services accounted for most of the rise over the month. The increase in total manufacturing employment was in line with seasonal expectations. A s m a l l but c o ntr a s e a s o n a l increase occurred in transportation equipment as automobile sales continued at the highest level since 1955. Electrical equipment, chemicals, and rubber,- continued to show improvement. On the other hand, employment in primary metals declined sharply with the further drop in steel production,and only seasonal gains occurred in machinery and fabricated metals, industries where much better-than-seasonal gains had been recorded in earlier months this year. The rise of 100,000 in construction employment was less than usual for June, in part because of strikes on the West Coast. Trade added about 75, 000 persons to payrolls with the usual summer pickup in employment, and services about 65,000. Because of the close of the school year and the reduction in teaching staffs, government employment declined in June, but not as much as it usually does. Factory Hours and Earnings The factory workweek was 40. 6 hours in June as compared with 40. 5 in May, showing less than the usual rise for the month. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the workweek has dropped 0.4 hour from its very high level in April. Nevertheless, the workweek was within 0. 1 hour of the post-Korea highs for June registered in 1953 and again prior to the steel strike in 1959. Most hard goods industries failed to show their usual June pickup in the workweek. The most notable weaknesses were shown in lumber, primary metals, and transportation equipment. While the workweek continued at relatively high levels in most industries, it was below a year earlier in primary metals. Overtime continued to edge upward in June, reaching 2. 9 hours. This was 0. 5 hour above a year earlier and equal to the previous high for the month in 1959 since data became available in 1956. At $2. 39, average hourly earnings were unchanged for the second consecutive month, and 7 cents higher than in June 1961. This figure reflects earnings of $2. 55 per hour in durable goods, and $2. 17 in nondurables. Weekly earnings of $97. 03 per week were $4 higher than last year.

As in previous downturns, the goods-producing industries bore the brunt of the 1960-61 recession. However, the decline in manufacturing was relatively smaller and recovery started sooner. The service-producing industries edged up during the recession, in contrast to the .moderate dip in 1957-58 and virtually no change in 1953-54. Employment in durable goods manufacturing industries in June 1962 was less than 1 percent below its May I960 level. This was slightly closer to the prerecession high than at the comparable stage in 1958-59; the recovery in durable goods industries started 3 months later in the earlier cycle, but the latter stages of the 1958-59 recovery benefited from the buildup in activity prior to the steel strike. After 25 months of the 1953-55 cycle, durable goods employment was still more than 6 percent below its prerecession high. The 1961-62 recovery pattern for all of manufacturing has been erratic, compared with the more or less steady recoveries in the two previous cycles. The recession cutbacks in construction employment were similar in the two most recent recessions, while there was no reduction in jobs during the 1953-54 downturn. During the recovery phase of the 1960-62 cycle, employment continued to drop, and as of June was 8 percent below its May I960 level. In both previous upturns, construction contributed substantially to the recovery in overall employment. The decline during the present recovery occurred despite a strong upturn in construction activity. Employment in the service-producing industries has increased by 3 percent thus far in the current recovery, in contrast with gains of almost 5 percent during the two previous upturns. Trade jobs did not show any substantial recovery until the current upturn was well underway. Although the level this June was 1 percent higher than in May I960, increases in the prior recoveries had carried trade employment 3 percent above prerecession levels. The finance and service industries contributed relatively less to the recent recovery than to the two previous ones. Employment in these industries, which account for roughly a fifth of all nonfarm payroll employment, increased by 3 percent from February 1961 through this June, compared with gains of 5 to 6 percent over the other recovery periods. The June level was 5 percent higher than in May 1960, the same as the gain in the previous cycle, but less than in 1953-55. Although the employment decline in transportation and public utilities industries was comparatively small during the most recent downturn, there has been virtually no recovery gain as in the earlier upturns. In State and local government employment the trends are virtually the same for each of the three business cycles. Expansion persisted through the downturn and recovery stages, showing two-year gains of about 10 percent in each case. ix 648120 O-62—2 Labor Force The total labor force registered a sharp seasonal rise of 2. 1 million (primarily teenagers) from its May level to 76.9 million in June. The increase in the number of young workers under 25 years of age was not materially different this spring thanin I960 or 1961, although well above that recorded in the 1950's when the population in this age group was much smaller. (See table B.) A somewhat larger number than in 1961 had already entered by May this year; consequently the May-June increase was smaller than last year but the overall influx from April was the same (3.3 million).

This year's group of young labor market entrants fared somewhat better in terms of employment and unemployment than those who entered the job market last year. (See table on page xi.) Of the 2. 1 million teenagers added to the labor force between May and June, 43 percent found nonfarm jobs this year as compared with 36 percent a year ago. The proportion of youngsters added to the farm work force remained steady over the year at 28 percent. On a relative basis, there were more youngsters working at nonfarm activities, and fewer who had not yet found jobs, than in June of the previous four years.

Nearly one-half (47. 3 percent) of the recent wave of June high school and college graduates are expected to remain permanently in the labor force. (See table C. ) Assuming a continuation of past trends in the rates of labor force participation for high school and college graduates, by sex, and applying them to the number of graduates (these latter data were suppliec by the Office of Education of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare), it is estimated that: 1) Of the 2.4 million students who graduated in June 1962 from high school and college, 1. 1 million are expected to join the labor force on a permanent basis, about the same number as last year. 2) A substantial proportion of these 1. 1 million permanent entrants--about 375, 000—were already in the labor force while in school. Therefore, net civilian labor force additions from June graduating classes will total 750,000, also virtually unchanged from last year. 3) Nearly half of the 1. 9 million high school graduates are expected to go on to college in the fall. 4) About 20 percent of the June college graduates are expected to continue their formal education on a full-time basis.

The second quarter 1962 increase of 600, 000 over the year was about 400, 000 short of what might have been expected on the basis of past trends. Most of the difference was among women 25 to 54 years of age, who have accounted for such a large part of our expanding work force since World War II. Young people, on the other hand, joinedthe work force in about the expected numbers over the year. Shortage of job opportunities could not be the full explanation of the slowdown in growth. Over the year, the labor force participation of women 55 to 64 years of age has risen sharply as it has in all recent years. (See table D.) There is no evidence that jobs are available for them but not for younger women. xiii U ne mployme nt Age and Sex. The usual June influx of young people into the labor force in search of summer and, in some cases, permanent jobs accounted for virtually all of the 750,000 increase in unemployment this month. About 85 percent of the over-the-month increase occurred among teenagers, raising the total number of unemployed 14 to 19 years old to 1. 5 million. The rest of the increase occurred among 20-24 year olds. Of the teenagers who entered the labor force this June, 70 percent had found jobs by the time of the survey week, a higher proportion than in any of the preceding 4 years. As a result, their seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped from nearly 14 percent in May to 12-1/2 percent in June. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for the 20-24 year olds, however, was unchanged over the month at 8-1/2 percent. Total unemployment this June was 1. 1 million below its June 1961 level. This reduction has not taken place at a steady rate. Between June 1961 and December unemployment fell by 700,000 (seasonally adjusted); between December and June 1962 it dropped by 400,000. The total number unemployed this June was still nearly 500,000 above the prerecession low of February I960. The largest part of the over-the-year decline in unemployment, about 500,000, occurred among adult men. Between June 1961 and June 1962 their unemployment rate fell from 5. 9 to 4. 7 percent. Of the total 1. 2 percentage point decline, 0. 8 occurred in the second half of 1961 and only 0. 4 in the first half of 1962. The unemployment rate for adult men this June was 0. 6 percentage point higher than the prerecession low of 4.1 percent registered in February 1960. The over-the-year decline in unemployment for adult women (350,000) followed much the same pattern as that of adult men. The unemployment rate for adult women fell from 6. 6 percent in June 1961 to 5.1 percent in June 1962. Although the drop in the rate was almost evenly divided between the second half of 1961 and the first half of 1962, virtually all of the decrease in 1962 occurred over the first 2 months. Again as in the case of adult men, the unemployment rate for adult women was 0. 6 percentage point higher than the February 1960 low of 4. 5 percent. xiv Duration of Unemployment. The impact of the young June jobseekers, most of whom were in school the previous month, pushed short-term unemployment (less than 5 weeks) up seasonally by 1. 0 million to 2. 5 million. Partially offsetting this rise was a seasonal decline of 250,000 among persons unemployed 15 weeks or longer. These long-term unemployed numbered 1. 0 million in June 1962. Included among the long-term unemployed were nearly 600,000 persons who had been looking for work for over 6 months, about 350, 000 less than a year ago. Turnover Among the Long-term Unemployed. In any given month, there are persons among the long-term unemployed who will no longer be unemployed the following month. During the second quarter of 1962, an average of 25 percent of the longterm unemployed found jobs within a month. Nearly all of these jobs were in nonagricultural industries. Fifty-eight percent of the long-term unemployed were still jobless the following month and 17 percent had withdrawn from the labor force. This pattern is very similar to that shown for the second quarter in earlier years, although the numbers of long-term unemployed differ sharply. (See table E.) In the second quarter of every year since 1957, an average of about three-fifths of the longterm unemployed were still looking for work a month later. The percent unemployed the following month in the recession years of 1958 and 1961, however, was slightly higher than in the other years, and the percent who had found jobs, slightly smaller.

In the second quarter of 1962 an average of 30 percent of the women who had been unemployed for more than 15 weeks were no longer in the labor force the next month. Only 10 percent of the men withdrew between one month and the nexto Most of the women who stopped looking for work after 15 or more weeks returned to keeping house as their major activity. From special tabulations, it has been possible to gather some additional information on the duration of unemployment for those who have been looking for work for more than 6 months. In the second quarter of this year 65 percent of the 650, 000 very long-term unemployed had been looking for work for over 9 months; about 40 percent had been without work for over a year; and 25 percent had been jobless for more than a year and a half. (See chart below. ) In the second quarter of I960, the duration pattern was almost identical, although the total number of very long-term unemployed was about 200, 000 less. During the second quarter of 1961, an average of 900, 000 persons had been unemployed for more than half a year, but the proportions of these in longer duration categories was slightly smaller than in I960 or 1962, primarily because those workers laid off in the business downturn in the second half of I960 were just entering the 6 to 9 months duration category. In each of these 3 years, however, over half of the persons unemployed for more than 6 months were also unemployed for more than 9 months.

The number of persons exhausting their State benefits was down by 20,000 over the month to an estimated 130,000--a somewhat larger than usual drop for this time of year. In June of last year, exhaustions totaled 250, 000. Insured joblessness under the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation program (which terminated on June 30) continued to drop sharply, falling from 132,000 in May to 55, 000 in June. All but four States showed declines in insured unemployment over the month. Most of the reductions were small; only three States reported decreases of more than 10, 000--Michigan (14,600), New Jersey (l 1,400), and Illinois (10, 100). In addition to seasonal improvements in construction and trade, hiring in manufacturing, particularly in food processing and apparel, contributed to these declines. The national rate of insured unemployment (not seasonally adjusted) at 3O 6 percent in mid-June, was down from 4. 0 percent in May and 4. 9 percent in June a year ago. While Alaska's rate dropped from 11. 9 to 6. 6 percent this June, it was still the highest in the Nation. Other rates above 5 percent were reported by: Puerto Rico (5. 7), West Virginia (5. 5), and California and Pennsylvania (5. 3 each). California's rate was up slightly from May, largely because of the secondary effects of a labor dispute in the construction industry. The rates in three of the other large industrial States were well below the national average — Illinois (2. 6), Texas (2. 5), and Indiana (2. 3).

Source I Bureau of Employment Security Total Employment Total employment advanced seasonally by 1. 3 million between May and June to 69. 5 million, the highest level on record. The employed total was one million above its previous peak recorded in June 1961 (taking into account the 200, 000 reduction in current levels caused by the introduction of I960 Census data into the estimation procedure in 1962). After seasonal adjustment, however, total employment has shown no consistent trend in recent months and was about the same as in February of this year. As usual in June, farm employment paced the seasonal upturn. Both the overall increase of 850, 000, and the addition of 600, 000 teenagers to the farm work force, were about normal for this time of year. However, farm employment continued its long-term downtrend in 1962. The first-half average was about 200, 000 below the comparable periods of 1961, in line with the average annual rate of decline in this sector over the long run. Total nonagricultural employment--including the self-employed, unpaid family family workers, and dome sties--rose seasonally over the month to a record level of 63. 2 million in June. The increase of one-half million over the month reflected the usual June addition of over a million teenagers and the withdrawal of more than one-half million adult women as the school year closed. The latter group is composed mainly of teachers and other school employees but also includes other workers who quit the labor force while their children are on vacation from school. Since the beginning of the year, both total nonagricultural employment (household data) and nonfarm payroll employment (establishment data) have increased by about one million, after allowance for seasonal fluctuations. Part-time Employment Some 2. 6 million nonfarm workers were on part time because of economic reasons in June, 300, 000 more than in the previous month. All of this increase occurred among teenagers who wanted to work full time but could find only part-time employment upon entering the labor market. Altogether, there were one-half million fewer persons working part time because of economic reasons in June 1962 than in the previous year and nearly 300, 000 fewer than in June I960. (See table F.) Since the trough of the business cycle in February 1961, the number on short workweeks has declined by 800, 000 (seasonally adjusted). This was about 200,000 less than the decline in economic part-time work during the comparable recovery period following the 1957-58 downswing. However, the number had also risen to a higher peak in 1958. (See chart on page xx.) During the present cycle, all of the improvement in part time for economic reasons had taken place by January 1962; after allowance for seasonal variation, there has been a slight increase since the beginning of the year. In June 1962, nearly 6 million persons worked part time in nonfarm enterprises because of personal choice or individual circumstances, some 1.6 million less than in the previous month. This large drop was expected for this time of the year, as many youngsters who normally work part time during the school year became available for full-time jobs. xix Table F.

May June Not in labor force *Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Two groups averaging about one-quarter million workers which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work)—those on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 days—were assigned to different classifications, mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56. «Not available. beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected. 4 Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has resulted in an increase of about half a million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in the labor for.ce, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciably jshanged. 'Figures for periods prior to April 1962 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of I960 Census data into the estimation procedure.. The change primarily affected the labor force and employment totals, which were reduced by about 200,000. The unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.

Use order blank on page 9-E. INTRODUCTION 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. The statistics in this periodical are compiled from two major sources: (l) household interviews and (2) payroll reports from employers. Data based on household interviews are obtained from a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of labor Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor force, i.e., the total number of persons 14 years of age and over who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data on their personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex, color, marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration of unemployment. The information is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about 357OOO households in 333 areas throughout the country and is based on the activity or status reported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the month. Data based on establishment payroll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The payroll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours, average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. Hours of Work The household survey measures hours actually worked whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers. In the household survey data, all persons with a job but not at work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid during the reporting period. Comparability of the household interview data with other series The figures are based on payroll reports from a sample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 million nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Relation between the household and payroll series The household and payroll data supplement one another, each providing significant types of information that the other cannot suitably supply. Ibpulation characteristics, for example, are readily obtained only from the household survey whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports. Data from these two sources differ from each other because of differences in definition and coverage, sources of information, methods of collection, and estimating procedures. Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasons for discrepancies. The factors which have a differential effect on levels and trends of the two series are described below: Employment •oyment insurance data. The unemployed total from the household survey includes all persons who did not work at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance, figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by the Bureau of Bnployment Security of the Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size). In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment used in the household survey. For example, persons with a job but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, but are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey. Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of Agr iculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under 1^ in the Agricultural Marketing clu Service (AMS) 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. 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. Qnployment in both farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of nonfarm establishments. Multiple jobholding. The household approach tiple provides information on the work status of the population with. the 1 out 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 .d absences from jobs. The household survey includes among the employed all persons who had jobs but were not at work during the survey week—that is, were not working or looking for work 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, whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off. In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on paid sick leave, paid vacation, or paid holiday are included, but not those on leave without pay for the entire payroll period. 1-E Comparability of the payroll employment data with other series Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The ma-* jor reason for lack of comparability is different treatment of business units considered parts of an establishment, such as 'central administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in the industrial classification of establishments due to different reporting patterns by multiunlt companies. There are also differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Business excludes professional services, transportation companies, and financial establishments, while 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 units considered integral parts of an establishment and in industrial classification. In addition, CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, interstate railroads, and government. Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the Unemployment Insurance programs. All workers in certain activities, such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are also excluded in 32 States. In general, these are establishments with less than four employees. LABOR FORCE DATA COLLECTION AND COVERAGE Statistics on the employment status of the population, the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics of employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force data are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in its Current Population Survey (CPS). (A detailed description of this survey appears in Concepts and Methods Used in the Current Employment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-23, Kb. 5. 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 1J years and over. Re*spondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household 1^ years of age and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15th 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 Ik years of age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown in this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense. The sample for CPS is spread over 333 areas comprising 6*H counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed interviews are obtained each month from about 35>000 households. There are about 1,500 additional sample households from which information should be collected but is not because the occupants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporarily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about k percent. Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides for approximately 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. Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not living on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratory farm workers). Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work around the house (such as own home housework, and painting or repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations. Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did not work at all during the survey week and were looking for work, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed no work was available in their line of work or in the community. Persons in this latter category will usually be residents of a community in which there are only a few dominant industries which were shut down during the survey week. Not included in this category are persons who say they were not looking for work because they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any way. The Unemployment Rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of the employed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed for groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital status, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupation groups, the labor force base for the unemployment rate also represents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latter classified according to industry and occupation of their latest full-time civilian job. Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time (through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work or would have been looking for work except for temporary illness, or belief that no work was available in their line of work or in the community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of full weeks since the termination of their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment. The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total of all civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria described above. The "total labor force" also includes members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the United States or abroad. Not in Labor Force includes all civilians ik years and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework, " "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes for the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force. Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week. The occupation and industry groups used in data derived from the CPS household interviews are defined as in the i960 Census of Population. Information on the detailed categories included in these groups is available upon request. CONCEPTS Employed Persons comprise (a) all those who during the survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, or in their own business or profession, or on their own farm, or who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in a business operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those who were not working or looking for work but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time off for various other reasons, whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off. Each employed person is counted only once. Those who held more than one job are counted in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week. The industrial classification system used in the Census of Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhat from that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by industry. Employment levels by industry from the household survey, although useful for many analytical purposes, are not published in order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ from the payroll series because of differences in classification, sampling variability, and other reasons. The industry figures from the household survey are used as a base for published distributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other 2-E characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, and occupation. mortality, and migration between the United States and other countries. The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salary workers," subdivided into private and government workers, "self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage and salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or pay in kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit. Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in their own "business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm. Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15 hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a member of the household to whom they are related by blood or marriage. 3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure is used which takes account of net changes from the previous month for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes but also of the levels for most items. Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual number of hours worked during the survey week. For example, a person who normally works kO hours a week but who was off on the Veterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even though he was paid for the holiday. 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 two out of three that an estimate from the sample would differ from a complete census by less than the standard error. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the standard error. For persons working in more than one job, the figures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job. Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey week are designated as working "full time"; persons who worked between 1 and 3^ hours are designated as working "part time." Bart-time workers are classified by their usual status at their present job (either full time or part time) and by their reason for working part time during the survey week (economic or other reasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job during the week, and inability to find full-time work. "Other reasons" include: labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for full-time work and full-time worker only during peak season. Table A shows the average standard error for the major employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12 recent 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. Table A. Average standard error of major employment status categories (In thousands) ESTIMATING METHODS Average standard error o f — •The estimating procedure is essentially one of using sample results to obtain percentages of the population in a given category. The published estimates are then obtained by multiplying these percentage distributions by independent estimates of the population. The principal steps involved are shown below. 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. Employment status and sex Monthly level Month-tomonth change (consecutive months only) BOTH SEXES Labor force and total employment Agriculture Nonagricultural employment Unemployment 250 200 300 100 180 120 180 100 120 180 200 90 90 120 90 MALE 1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for occupied sample households for which no information was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or unavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six groups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5 percent depending on weather, vacations, etc. 2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, from that of the Ifetion 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: 75 FEMALE Labor force and total employment Agriculture Nonagricultural employment Unemployment 180 75 180 65 150 55 120 65 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. a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the known i960 Census data on the color-residence distribution of the population. This step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the i960 Census between the colorresidence 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 (i960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, Labor force and total employment Agriculture Nonagricultural employment Unemployment The standard error of the change in an item from one month to the next month is more closely related to the standard error of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the specific month-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to use the approximations to the standard errors of month-to-month changes as presented in table C, it is first necessary to obtain the standard error of the monthly level of the item in table B, and then find the standard error of the raonth-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 last year, the standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable approximations. 3-E Table B.

Consequently, the chances are about 6$ out of 100 that the sample estimate differs by less than l6b,000 from the figure which would have been obtained from a complete count of the number of persons working the given number of hours. Using the 160,000 as the standard error of the monthly level in table C, it may be seen that the standard error of the 500,000 increase is about 135,000. Table C. Standard error of estimates of month-to-month change Bayroll reports provide current information on wage and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonfarm establishments, by industry and geographic location. Federal-State Cooperation Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, the respondent fills out only one employment or labor turnover schedule, which is then used for national, State, and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic comparability of estimates. State agencies mail the forms to the establishments and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare State and area series and then send the data to the BIS for use in preparing the national series. The BUS and the Bureau of Employment Security jointly finance the current employment statistics program in 44 States, the turnover program in 42 States. Shuttle Schedules The Form BLS 790 is used to collect employment, payroll, and man-hours data, and Form DL 1219 or BLS 1219 for labor turnover data. These schedules are of the "shuttle" type, with space for each month of the calendar year. The schedule is returned to the respondent each month by the collecting agency so that the next month's data can be entered. This procedure assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting, since the respondent can see the figures he has reported for previous months • (in thousands) Standard error of month-tomonth change Standard error of monthly level Estimates relating to agricultural employment All estimates except those relating to agricultural employment 14 35 70 100 110 10.. 25.. 50.. 100. 150. 200. 250. 300. 12 26 48 90 130 160 190 220 INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION The reliability of an ^'estimated percentage, computed by using sample data for both numerator and denominator depends upon both the size of the percentage and the size of the total upon which the percentage is based. Where the numerator is a subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are relatively more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates of the numerator of the percentage, particularly if the percentage is large (50 percent or greater). Table D shows the standard errors for percentages derived from the survey. Linear interpolation may be used for percentages and base figures not shown in table D. Table D.

The labor turnover schedule provides for the collection of information on the total number of accessions and separations, by type, during the calendar month. Establishments are classified into industries on the basis of their principal product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected each year on an industry class supplement to the monthly 790 or 1219 report. In the case of an establishment making more than one product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire employment of the establishment is included under the industry indicated by the most important product or activity. All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover series are classified in accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau of the Budget, 1957. Since many of the published industry series represent combinations of SIC industries, the BIS has prepared a Guide to Employment Statistics of BIS, 1961 which specifies the SIC code or codes covered by each industry title listed in Employment and Earnings. In addition, the Guide provides industry definitions and lists the beginning date of each series. The Guide is available free upon request.

State and area series were converted to the 1957 SIC beginning in January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958) and national industry statistics were converted in the latter part of 1961 (with an overlap from 1958 to the month of conversion). Consequently, back issues of Employment and Earnings will not provide earlier data on a comparable basis. However, for many industries, both BIS and the cooperating State agencies have constructed series for years prior to 1958 which are comparable with data starting with 1958 and based on the 1957 SIC. National data for earlier periods comparable with those currently published are available in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the . 2 U-E COVERAGE paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a part1 of the pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the rest of the period, are counted as employed. Not counted as employed are persons who are laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during the period. Employment, Hours, and Earnings Benchmark Adjustments Reports on employment and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours are collected monthly from sample establishments in nonagricultural industries. The table below shows the approximate proportion of total employment in each industry division covered by the group of establishments furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual industries within the division may vary from the proportions shown. Employment estimates are periodically compared with complete counts of employment in the various industries defined as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indicated by the total counts or* "benchmarks." The industry employment estimates are currently projected from March 1959 benchmarks. After allowing for the effect of shifts in products or activities resulting from conversion to the 1957 Standard Industrial Classification, and the changes in level resulting from improved benchmark sources for employment not covered by the social insurance systems, meaningful quantitative comparisons can be made between estimates for March 1959 Projected from the last previous benchmarks (1957) and the actual March 1959 benchmark levels. This comparison reveals a difference of 0.6 percent for total nonagricultural employment, practically identical with the extent of the adjustment in March 1957, the last benchmark adjustment prior to the shift in classification systems. The differences were less than 1.0 percent for four of the eight major industry divisions; under 2 percent for two other divisions; and 3.8 and 4.9 percent for the remaining two divisions.

Labor Turnover Labor turnover reports are collected monthly from establishments in the manufacturing, mining, and communication industries. The table below shows the approximate coverage, in terms of employment, of the labor turnover sample.

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 durinr the month. The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employeesj Federal military personnel are excluded from total nonapricultural employment. One significant cause of differences between benchmark and estimate is the change in industrial classification of individual establishments, which is usually not reflected in BLS estimates until the data are adjusted 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 establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are prepared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments exempt from State unemployment 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. Among improvements introduced in 1961, when the industry statistics were converted to the 1957 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, was the development of new and better sources of benchmark data for employment either outside the social insurance system or covered by it only on a voluntary basis. The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark month are compared with the new benchmark levels, industry by industry. Where revisions are necessary, the monthly series of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one. 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 while the sample is used to measure the month-to-month changes in the level. Industry Hours and Earnings Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers or nonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. When the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the 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 plantfs own use (e.g., power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely associated with the above production operations. Nbnsuperviapry Employees include employees (not above the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose services are closely associated with those of the employees listed. Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), on Bayroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time 5E - Railroad Hours and Earnings production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th 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 duesj also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay period), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded. The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in the M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate to all employees who received pay during the month, except executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC group I ) . Gross average hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensation by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, during the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for production, construction, and nonsupervisory workers. The man-hours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly from the firm. 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, 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 worker with three dependents. The computations are based on the gross average weekly earnings for all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industry division without regard to marital status, family composition, or total family income. Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of production and related workers during the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Overtime hours are those for which premiums were paid because the hours were in excess of the number of hours of either the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded. Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings "Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the current month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 1957-59 dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base period. Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries 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. Etaployment shifts between relatively high-paid and low-paid work and changes in workers1 earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individual industries. Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime 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. 537-5^0). Both methods eliminate 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 provisions, such as holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and one-half. Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period of time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit of work or time. Die earnings series, however, does not measure the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer since the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under the production-worker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions. Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours 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. The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the monthly average for the 1957-59 period. The man-hour aggregates are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker employment, and the payroll aggregates are the-product of gross average weekly earnings and production-worker employment. Average Weekly Hours Labor Turnover 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. Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and salary workers into and out of employment status with respect to individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a calendar month, is divided into two broad types: Accessions (new hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees, whether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers. Transfers to another establishment of the company are included, beginning with January 1959. Average Overtime Hours The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross average weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours and for which premium payments were made. If an employee worked on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensation his holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no overtime hours would be reported. Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the same direction, from month-to-monthj for example, premiums may be paid for hours in excess of the straight-time workday although less than a full week is worked. Diverse trends at the industrygroup level may also be caused by a marked change in gross hours for a component industry where little or no overtime was worked in both the previous and current months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same influence on overtime hours as on gross hours. Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll, including both new and rehired employees. New hires are temporary or permanent additions to the employment roll of persons who have never before been employed in the establishment (except employees transferring from another establishment of the same company) or of former employees not recalled by the employer. Other accessions, which are not published separately but are included in total accessions, are all additions to the 6-E employment roll which are not classified as new hires including transfers from another* establishment of the company. STATISTICS FOR STATES A N D AREAS State and area employment, hours> earnings, and labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics relate to metropolitan areas, as"defined in the Annual Supplement Issue of Employment and Earnings. 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. Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits, layoffs, and other separations, as defined below. 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 expected to last more than 30 consecutive calendar days. Comparability With 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: (l) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month; and (2),employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates if the work stoppage extends through the report period. ESTIMATING METHODS Several major technical Improvements were achieved in 196l, when the industry statistics were converted to the 1957 Standard Industrial Classification Manual. The benchmark tabulations obtained from State unemployment insurance agencies (see section on benchmark adjustments), which formerly gave employment totals by industry, were tabulated to give separate totals by size of establishment within industries for the first quarter of each year beginning with 1959. Intensive analysis revealed that significant improvements could be made for many of the hours and earnings series if the employment estimates for certain industries were stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisoryworker data were used in weighting 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 on page 8-E, may be an industry size and/or regional stratum or it may be an entire industry or combination of industries. Further analysis will be made, as resources permit, to determine whether stratification will improve the estimates of labor turnover rates. More advanced automatic electronic data-processing equipment has also contributed to improving the program. The advanced equipment, with its greater capacity, has made feasible the increased number of computations required by the introduction of size cells, and facilitates closer quality control of data input and output. SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT Many economic statistics reflect a'regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be measured on the basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change which can be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observe the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor force and establishment data are published regularly in Employment and Earnings. The seasonal adjustment method used for these series is a new adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method, with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to take account of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description and illustration of the basic method was published in the August i960 Monthly Labor Review. The seasonally adjusted series on weekly hours and labor turnover rates for industry groupings are computed by applying factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, but seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees and production workers by industry divisions are obtained by summing the seasonally adjusted data which are published for component industries. The factors currently in use are available upon request. In the case or unemployment, data for four age-sex groups (male and female unemployed workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then added to give a seasonally adjusted total unemployment figure. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment (the sum of the four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force. Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of the labor force to be applied to data for 1961 and later are provided in the table below, since seasonally adjusted labor force series, except for the unemployment rates, are not published regularly in Employment and Earnings. The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data are based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors are revised in the light of the pattern revealed by subsequent data. Data through December 1961 were used in deriving the current factors applicable to 1961-62. Revisions will be made annually as each additional year's data become available. Seasonal adjustment factors for the labor force and iajor components, to be used for the period 1961-62 The general procedures used for estimating industry employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics .are described in the table on page 8-E. Details are given in the technical notes on Measurement of Employment, Hours, and Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries and Measurement of Labor Turnover, which are available upon request. Reliability of Preliminary Estimates For the most recent months, national estimates of employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and so footnoted in the tables. These particular figures are based on less than the full sample and consequently subject to revision when all of the reports in the sample have been received. Studies of these revisions in past data indicate that they have been relatively small for employment and even smaller for hours and earnings. Because of the change in the Industrial classification system and in the estimating methods described above, it will not be possible to determine the magnitude of the error in preliminary estimates published for I96I and subsequent periods, until sufficient experience has been accumulated. ] Umployment Unemployment CivilNonagriMales Females ian Agri- cultural labor Age Age indus- Age 14 20 and Age Ik 20 and force Total culto 19 over to 19 over ture tries Jan....
