CAUTION
Iteriodically, the Bureau adjusts
the industry employment series to a
recent benchmark to improve their accuracy.
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.

When industry

Statistics for the United States will
be issued containing the revised data
extending from April 1959 forward to a
current date, as well as the prior historical statistics.

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.

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.

Cyclical Comparisons of Industry Employment
In the chart on page vH-^ the pattern of employment in the 1960-62 business
cycle is compared with that of the two previous cycles. 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.

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).

Employment Status of Teenagers Added to the Labor Force. 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.

Labor Force Status of June Graduates. 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.

Labor force growth appears to be slowing down for reasons which are not
entirely clear. 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.

Among the long-term unemployed, a considerably higher proportion of women
than men withdraw from the labor force between one month and the next. 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.

Insured Unemployment
Insured unemployment under regular State programs, which does not include
students, declined about seasonally from 1. 6 million in May to a little under 1. 5
million in June. 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).

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.

Explanatory notes to chart I
Labor force time lost represents the man-hours lost by the unemployed and those on
part time for economic reasons, as a percent of total man—hours potentially available to the
civilian labor force.
Man-hours lost are computed by assuming the unemployed lost 37.5 hours a week, and
that those on part time for economio reasons lost the difference between 37*5 and the time
they actually worked*
Man-hours potentially available (the base for the rate) are obtained by adding!

of unemployment*
Uhemployrnent rate, married men, represents the number of unemployed married men as a
percent of all married men in the oivilian labor foroe (employed plus unemployed)* These
figures exclude married men living apart from their wives* The rates for 1955 and 1956
are based on pre—1957 definitions of unemployment and employment*

OE
the time-lost measure, see Technical Note
on "Some -Alternative Indexes of Unemployment11 in the Kfonthlv Laho-r Review*

On a seasonally adjusted basis, time lost because of unemployment and
involuntary part-time work was about 6-l/£ percent of the total manhours
potentially available to all civilian workers in June. As in the case of the unemployment rate, this measure was virtually unchanged over the month and has not
moved significantly since February, but was well below the level of a year a g o - 8. 2 percent, (See chart and explanatory notes on page xxi.)

*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.

Explanatory Notes
Additional information concerning the preparation of the
labor force,

employment,

hours and earnings, and labor

turnover series—concepts and scope, survey methods, and
limitations—is contained in technical notes for each of
these series, available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics free of charge.

INTRODUCTION

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

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.

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.

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:

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

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.

Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total
number of persons working a specific number of hours, as
15,000,000, an increase of 500,000 over the previous month,
linear interpolation in the first column of table B shows that
the standard error of 15,000,000 is about l60,000. 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.

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 •

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.

The BIS 790 provides for entry of data on the number
offull- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments and, for most Industries, payroll and manhours of production and related workers or nonsupervisory
workers for the pay period ending nearest the 15th of each
month. The labor turnover schedule provides for the collection
of information on the total number of accessions and separations,
by type, during the calendar month.

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.

Prior to January 1959, all national, State, and area
series were classified in accordance with the following documents: (l) For manufacturing, Standard Industrial Classification
Manual, Volume I, Bureau of the Budget, 1945, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial Classification Code, Social Security
Board, 1942. 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

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

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.

CONCEPTS
Industry Employment
Employment data for all except the Federal Government
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period endinp nearest the lfyth of the month.
For Federal Government establishments, employment figures represent the number of persons who occupied positions on the last
day of the calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if
they performed any service 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.

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.
