CAUTION
Periodically, the Bureau adjusts
the industry employment series to a
recent benchmark to improve its accuracy.
These
adjustments may
also
affect the hours and earnings series
because employment levels are us«d as
weights. All industry statistics after
March 1959, the present benchmark date,
are therefore subject to revision.
Beginning with November 1961 and
subsequent issues of Employment and
Earnings, data in tables B-l through
B-4, C-l through C-7, and D-l through
D-3 are based on the 1957 Standard
Industrial
Classification
and
a
March 1959 benchmark.
Therefore,
issues of Employment and Earnings prior
to November 1961 cannot be used in conjunction with national industry data
now shown in sections B, C, and D,
Comparable data for prior periods are
published in Employment and Earnings
Statistics for the United States. 190960. which is temporarily out of print,
but available in many public libraries.
When industry data
are
again
adjusted to new benchmarks,
another
edition of Employment and
Earnings
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.

Factory Earnings Reach $100 a Week
John E. Bregger and Robert L. Stein*
The average weekly earnings of factory production workers surpassed the
$100 mark in June 1963, a new milestone in U.S. economic history. The latest
Bureau of Labor Statistics figures show that there were some 12. 5 million production workers in all manufacturing industries combined; their average weekly
earnings of $100. 61 were a product of hourly earnings averaging $2.46 and a workweek of 40. 9 hours including 3. 0 hours of overtime at premium pay.
Long-term Trends
The factory worker's gross earnings in June 1963 were more than 10 times
their level in 1909 when such figures were first compiled. In that year, factory
production workers earned a little under $10 for a 51-hour week.
During World War I, factory earnings increased from $11 in 1914 to $22
in 1919 when factory production workers accounted for 32 percent of all employees
in nonfarm payrolls (as compared with 22 percent in 1963). They passed the $25
mark in 1920 and hovered around the $21 - $26 level until the depression, which
pushed earnings down to less then $15 in March 1933.
Earnings recovered slowly, not averaging $25 again until 1940. They nearly
doubled during World War II, reaching $47 in late 1944. After a brief drop in the
postwar period, earnings hit the $50 level in September 1947, and then increased
rapidly to $7 5 by May 1955.
The Significance of Changes in Earnings
Real earnings. Although the factory worker in June 1963 earned 10 times as
much as his predecessor of 50 years ago, the substantial increase in the cost of
living during the last half century has meant that his increase in real earnings has
been considerably less. In 1914, weekly earnings averaged $10.92, or about oneninth of the current $100 level, but when adjusted for price changes by the BLS
Consumer Price Index, the "real11 earnings for that year become about one-third of
those estimated for June 1963. In purchasing power, this represents a three-fold
rather than a nine-fold increase. Similarly, while gross earnings have doubled since
1947, the gain in real terms (i.e. , adjusted for price changes) has been about 50
percent. Nevertheless, these were truly significant gains, made possible in large
part by advances in productivity. Output per man-hour (in constant dollars) increased
by 54 percent in manufacturing between 1947 and 1962.
Spendable earnings'. Another factor that has to be considered in evaluating
gross earnings is the growing importance during the last two decades or so of
Federal income taxes and Social Security deductions.
Up until 1943, the gross weekly earnings series was a reasonably satisfactory
measure of the spendable earnings (take-home pay) of the factory production workers.
However, with the extension of Federal income tax coverage to all wage earnings in
that year and the subsequent increases of the income tax liability and the Social
Security rate, there has been a growing disparity between the factory worker's gross
earnings and his take-home pay. In June 1963, the average factory worker with 3
dependents earned $100. 61 but took home $88. 38 of this amount. By contrast, in
1947, such a worker retained $47. 58 out of $49. 17. After adjustment for price
changes, average spendable weekly earnings for this worker rose about one-third

(from a $61.16 average in 1947 to $83.22 estimated for June 1963). The differences
between gross earnings and spendable earnings cannot be viewed as a loss from the vantage
point of the wage earner, since he is purchasing future security and Government
services with these deductions; however, they represent a reduction in the earnings
which the worker has available for living expenses.
Fringe benefits. In recent periods, factory workers1 earnings have been
supplemented by employer contributions on their behalf for such benefit programs as
pensions, life insurance, and health care. In addition, although there has been no
discernible pattern in changes in the standard workweek, in hours of work paid for,
or in the extent of overtime, there has been a gain of additional leisure for the
workers through increases in paid time off--chiefly vacations and holidays.
A BLS study in 1959 showed that an estimated 6 percent of gross payroll
expenditures in manufacturing industries was for paid leave, and 5.4 percent for
private welfare plans. *
Post World War II Developments2
Factory production workers, who accounted for 1 of every 5 workers on
nonfarm payrolls in 1963, have made notable gains in hourly and weekly earnings
since the close of World War II despite slowdowns during four recessions. The

rise was the result of higher wage rates, as reflected in figures on straight-time
average hourly earnings. In constant dollars of purchasing power, straight-time
hourly earnings rose from $1. 52 in 1947 to $2. 19 in 1962, accounting for all of the
gain in real weekly earnings, (The factory workweek was the s a m e - - 4 0 . 4 hours-inboth 1947 and 1962.)
There is no continuous, overall measure of wage rates as such; however, the
figures on average hourly earnings, exclusive of overtime, are a rough indicator of
wage rate trends and of average wage levels. It must be remembered that the figures
include premium pay for shift differentials, and other pay above the basic wage rates
(for example, incentive earnings). Moreover, the averages may change slightly
when there are shifts in relative employment between high- and low-wage occupations
and industries even when specific wage rates have not been changed.
Gross factory earnings have risen by over $3 a week per year in moving from
anannual average of $49. 17inl947to $96. 56in 1962. (It should be pointed outthat earnings
may not average $100 or over in 1963, partly because they were well under that level
for the first 4 months of 1963, and partly because of the seasonal decline in the factory
workweek which usually occurs in some months later in the year.) Much of the increase
occurred within the 10-year period 1947-56 when earnings picked up by almost $30
per week. This was also the period of most rapid increase in prices since World
War II.
Cyclical effects. Although factory earnings did not decline on an annual average
basis in the 17-year postwar period--contrasted with cutbacks in most of the recession
phases of business cycles for which data are available between 1909 and 1947--they
still reflected the effect of cyclical developments. Between 1947 and 1948, weekly
earnings rose by $3.95, but the rise was only $0.76 in 1949, a recession year. In
1954, another recession trough, earnings remained unchanged over the previous year
following a sharp pickup from 1949 to 1953. Smaller-than-average increases were
also noted in 1958 and 1960-61. The increase between 1961 and 1962 averaged $4.22;
between June of 1962 arid 1963, it was $3. 34.
Of the two components in the calculation of average weekly earnings, the
factory workweek and hourly earnings, the factory workweek--a lead indicator in
cyclical fluctuations--has been the component which gives the cyclical character
to the factory earnings series. In every business downturn, average weekly
hours have declined perceptibly. In contrast average hourly earnings--unlike the
prewar experience when they did indeed recede when business conditions worsened-have increased even during recessions in the postwar period, although at a slower rate.
Industry Differentials
While $100 actually represents the average weekly gross pay of 12. 5 million
factory production workers covering many widely varying industries, there are wide
differences from industry to industry. The first industry group to surpass the $100
average weekly earnings level was petroleum--in September 1955. A year later,
production workers in primary metal industries reached the $100 level, closely
followed by the workers in the transportation equipment industry. By June 1963,
workers in 13 out of the 21 major industry divisions within manufacturing averaged
over $ 100 per week. The highest current earnings level continued to be in the
petroleum products industry--over $130 per week. On the other hand, weekly earnings
well below the $100 average have persisted in several of the nondurable goods industries. Two notable examples are apparel and related products and textile mill products.
In June 1963, earnings in these two industries averaged $61. 32 and $69. 53
respectively.
In general, durable goods industries have had higher average weekly earnings.
The sector as a whole first went over the $ 100 mark in June 1961 and averaged $100. 10
in that year. In June 1963, the average earnings figure stood at $109. 15. In contrast,
workers in nondurable goods have not as yet reached the $90 level and it will probably
be several more years at the present rate of increase before they reach $ 100. Their
earnings averaged $88. 80 in June 1963.
The Decline in Factory Employment
The remarkable gains in manufacturing productivity have enabled the factory
production worker to increase his real earnings and to extend the amount of leisure time
available to him. At the same time, however, the rise in real output per man-hour has
reduced the demand for his services, particularly since World War II. In June 1963,
the number of production workers on factory payrolls was actually 200,000 less than
in June 1947; over this same period, total employment grew by more than 10 million
or about 18 percent. The following illustrates the relative decline of factory production worker employment during the last 16 years.

Earnings in Nonmanufacturing Industries
Although earnings data are most complete and extend over the longest span
of years in the manufacturing sector, the BLS has extended its coverage over the
years to include several nonmanufacturing industries. 3 At present, the BLS
publishes earnings statistics for production workers in mining and contract construction and for nonsupervisory workers in wholesale and retail trade (excluding eating
and drinking places). In addition, data are published covering many employees in
transportation and public utilities; finance, insurance, and real estate; and several
of the services industries. (See table C-6, in this report.)
Production workers in contract construction earned $121.73, compared with
an annual average of $96. 56 for workers in manufacturing in 1962. Workers in mining
also earned considerably more than the average factory production worker in 1962-$110.70. Average weekly earnings are much higher in these two industries, because
of the highly seasonal nature of the work and other reasons. Workers in these industries average fewer weeks of employment throughout the year than in manufacturing
in most nonrecession years. In contrast, nonsupervisory employees in trade--an
industry which includes a high proportion of part-time and intermittent workers-earned $75. 08 during 1962,considerably below the manifacturing average.

In addition, occiipational wage surveys are conducted periodically in
important industries.

*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 d a y s 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.
^Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning I960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has resulted in an increase of about half a
million in the noninstitutional pupulation 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other
labor force categories were not appreciably changed.
^Figures for periods prior to April 1962 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of I960 Census data into the estimation procedure. The
*"-nge 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. Use order blank on page 13-E.
Employment
INTRODUCTION
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
two major sources: (1) household interviews and (2) payroll reports from employers.
Data based on household interviews Ate 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 inter*
viewers from a sample of about 35,000 households
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.
The figures are based on payroll reports from a sample of 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.
Coverage.
The household survey definition of
employment comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and other private household workers), selfemployed persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15
hours or more during the survey week in family-operated
enterprises. Employment 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 provides information on the work status of the population
without duplication since each person is classified as
employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed
persons holding more than one job are counted only once,
and are classified according to the job at which they
worked the greatest number of hours during the survey
week. In the figures based on establishment records,
persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each time their names
appear on payrolls.
Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey
includes among the employed all persons who had jobs
but were not at work during the survey 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.
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. Population characteristics, for example, are readily obtained only from the
household survey whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment
reports.
Data 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 as follows:
Hours of Work
The household s u r v e y measures hours actually
worked whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid
for by employers. In the household survey data, all
persona 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
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total
from the household survey includes all persons wb© did
1-E
not work at all during the survey week and were looking
for work or were waiting to be called back to a job from
which they had been laid off, regardless of whether or
not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by the
Bureau of Employment Security of the Department of Labor,
exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit rights,
new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment
insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and
local government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below
a minimum size).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of
unemployment used in the household survey. For example, persons with a job but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the week are sometimes
eligible for unemployment compensation, but are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey*
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under 14 in the Agricultural Marketing 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.
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 major 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 multiunit 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, No. 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 14
years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain
information about the employment status of each member
of the household 14 years of age and over. The inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,
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.
tions 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 ofDefense.
Until August 1962, the sample for CPS was spread
over 333 areas. Between August 1962 and March 1963,
the number of sample areas has been increased to 357,
comprising 701 counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District of Columbia. This
revision takes account of the changes in population distribution and characteristics shown by the I960 Census*
The number of households remains unchanged at 35,000*
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 4 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.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 14 years
of age are not covered in the regular monthly enumera-
2-E
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.
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 wx>rk 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 6r 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.
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 force1' also includes members of the Armed Forces
stationed either in the United States or abroad.
Not in Labor Force includes all civilians 14 years
and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed.
These persons are further classified as
"engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental
illness, and "other," The "other" group includes for
the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to
work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom
the survey week fell in an "off" season and who were
not reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) are also
classified as not in the labor force.
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 wgek. 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.
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 characteristics of industry groups such
as age, sex, and occupation.
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.
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.
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
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
Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
a person who normally works 40 hours a week but who
was off on the Veterans Day holiday would be reported
as working 32 hours even though he was paid for the
holiday.
3-E
For persons working in more than one job, the
figures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs
during the week. However, all the hours are credited to
the major job.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey
week are designated as working "full time"; persons
who worked between 1 and 34 hours are designated as
working "part time.*' Part-time workers are classified
by their usual status at their present job (either full time
or part time) and by their reason for working part time
during the survey week (economic or other reasons).
"Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material
shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job during the week, and inability to find fulltime work. "Other reasons" include: Labor dispute,
bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home
housework, school, no desire for full-time work and fulltime worker only during peak season*
ESTIMATING METHODS
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. N on interview 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.
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, mortality, and migration between the United States and other countries.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure is used which takes account of net changes from
the previous month for continuing parts of the sample
(75 percent) as well as the sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes but also of
the levels for most items.
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 i s , the variations that might occur by chance
because only a sample of the population is surveyed.
The chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from
the sample would differ from a complete census by less
than the standard error. The chances are about 19 out of
20 that the difference would be less than twice the
standard error.
Table A shows the average standard error for the
major employment status categories, by sex, computed
from data for past months. Estimates of change derived
from the survey are also subject to sampling variability.
The standard error of change for consecutive months is
also shown in table A. The standard errors of level
shown in table A are acceptable approximations of the
standard errors of year-to-year change.

2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by
chance, from that of the Nation as a whole, in such
characteristics as age, color, sex, and residence. Since
these population characteristics are closely correlated
with labor force participation and other principal measurements made from the sample, the latter estimates can be
substantially improved when weighted appropriately by
the known distribution of these population characteristics.
This is accomplished through two stages of ratio estimates as follows:

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
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 month-to-month change in table C
corresponding to this standard error of level. It should
be noted that table C applies to estimates of change
between 2 consecutive months. For changes between
the current month and the same month last year, the
standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable
approximations.

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.

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

Establishment Data
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonfarm establishments, by industry and geographic location.
Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out only one employment or labor
turnover schedule, which is then used for national, State,
and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting
on the part of respondents and, together with the use of
identical techniques at the national and State levels,
insures maximum 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 BLS
for use in preparing the national series. The BLS and the
Bureau of Employment Security jointly finance the current employment statistics pro gram in 44 States; the costs
in the remaining States are jointly shared by the State
Departments of Labor and the BLS. The turnover program is financed jointly by the BLS and the Bureau of
Employment Security in 49 States.
All national, State, atfd 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 BLS has prepared a Guide to Employment
Statistics of BLS, 1961 which specifies the SIC code or
codes covered by each industry title listed in Employ*
ment and Earnings. In addition, the Guide provides industry definitions and lists the beginning date of each
series. The Guide is available free upon request.
Industry Employment
Employment data for all except the Federal Government refer to persons on establishment payrolls who re*
ceived pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest
the 15th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, employment figures represent the number of
persons who occupied positions on the last day of the
calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if they
performed any service during the month.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed,
unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations are
included. Government employment covers only civilian
employees; Federal military personnel are excluded from
total nonagricultural employment.
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
M
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 BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments and, for most industries, payroll and 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.
CONCEPTS
Industrial Classification
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.
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on
paid sick leave (when pay is received directly from the
firm), on paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work
during a part of the pay period and are unemployed or
on strike during the rest of the period, are counted as
employed. Not counted as employed are persons who are
laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire
period, or who are hired but do not report to work during
the period.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports
of payrolls and man-hours for production and related
workers, construction 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 plant's own use (e.g., power
plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers relate to the following employees in the contract construction division: Working
foremen, journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, laborers,
etc., whether working at the. site of construction or in
shops or yards, at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling) ordinarily performed by members of the construction trades.
6-E
Nonsupervisory
employees
include employees
(not above the working supervisory level) such as office
and clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators,
drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers,
janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and
other employees whose services are closely associated
with those of the employees listed*
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
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 dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays,
vacations, and sick leave paid directly by the firm.
Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay
period), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e.g.,
retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals,
or other payment in kind are excluded.
Man-hours cover man-hours worked or paid for,
during the pay period 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.
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
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. Employment
shifts between relatively high-paid and low-paid work and
changes in workers' earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in
average hourly earnings for individual industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated
period of time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for
a given unit of work or time. The earnings series, however, does not measure the level of total labor costs on
the part of the employer since the following are excluded:
Irregular bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various
welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and
earnings for those employees not covered under the production-worker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by
changes in gross average hourly earnings, but also by
changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work,
stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and absenteeism.
Average Weekly Hours
The workweek information relates to the average
hours for which pay was received, and is different from
standard or scheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause
average weekly hours to be lower than scheduled hours
of work for an establishment. Group averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component industries.
Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours and for which 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-month;
for example, premiums may be paid for hours in excess
of the straight-time workday although less than a full
week is worked. Diverse trends aothe industry-group
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.
Railroad Hours and Earnings
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.
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.
7-E
"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*
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.
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium over*
time pay are computed by dividing the total productionworker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total
production-worker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours* Prior to January 1956, these data were
based on the application of adjustment factors to gross
average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly
Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
V/i 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.
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: (1) 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.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and manhours are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the monthly average for the 1957-59 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.
Labor Turnover
ESTIMATING METHODS
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,
Accessions are the total number of permanent and
temporary additions to the employment roll, including
both new and rehired employees.
The principal features of the estimating procedure
used to prepare estimates of employment for the industry statistics are (1) the use of the "link relative" technique, which is a form of ratio estimation, (2) periodic
adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and
(3) the use of a modified cutoff type of sample.
The "Link Relative" Technique
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.
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight
the hours and earnings into broader industry groupings.
Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an employment,
hours, or earnings series, as the term is used in the summary of computational methods on page 12-E may be an industry, a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size stratum
of a region.
Other accessions, which are not published separately but are included in total accessions, are all additions to the employment roll which are not classified
as new hires, including transfers from another establishment of the company.
Separations are terminations of employment during
the calendar month and are classified according to cause:
Quits, layoffs, and other separations, as defined above.
From a sample of establishments, which report for
both the previous and current months, the ratio of current
month employment to that of the previous month is computed. The estimates of employment (all employees, including production and nonproduction workers together)
for the current month are obtained by multiplying the estimates, for the previous month by these "link relatives."
Other features of the general procedures used for estimating industry employment, hours, earnings, and laborturnover statistics are described in the table on page 12-E
Further details are given in the technical notes on Meas~
urement of Employment, Hours, and Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries and on Measurement of Labor Turnover,
which are available upon request.
8-E
Benchmark Adjustments
of universe employment so that satisfactory estimates
can be prepared. Since employer participation in the
BLS program is voluntary, some establishments above
the cutoff may decline to report. To replace these in the
design, reports are solicited from the next largest establishments below the cutoff until the desired employment
coverage is attained.
Employment estimates are periodically compared
with complete counts of employment in the various industries defined as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated by the total counts or
1
* benchmarks." The industry estimates are currently projected from March 1959 levels; normally, benchmark adjustments are made annually*
As a result of these procedures, the sample consists of heavy representations of the largest establishments in each industry with a considerable representation of smaller establishments as well. In the context
of the BLS establishment and payroll statistics program,
with its emphasis on producing timely data at minimum
cost, a sample must be obtained which will provide coverage of a sufficiently large segment of the universe to
provide reasonably reliable estimates that can be published promptly and regularly. The present sample meets
these specifications for most industries. With its use,
the BLS is able to produce preliminary estimates each
month for many industries and for many geographic levels
within a few weeks after reports are mailed by respondents, and at a somewhat later date, statistics in considerably greater industrial detail.
The primary source of benchmark information is the
employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by
State agencies from reports of establishments covered
under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, prepared under the direction of the Bureau of Employment Security, are supplemented by data collected
by the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance covering establishments exempt from some State unemployment
insurance laws because of their small size. Benchmarks
for activities wholly or partly excluded from coverage
under the unemployment insurance laws or the old-age
and survivors insurance provisions of the Social Security
Act are derived from a variety of other sources.
The BLS estimates related to the benchmark month
are compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series
of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark
and the preceding one. 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.
Data for all months between the previous benchmark and the month in which the adjusted series is published are therefore subject to revision. To provide users
of the data with a convenient reference source for the
revised data,, the BLS publishes as soon as possible
after each benchmark revision a summary volume of employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics.
The current volume in this series is Employment and
Earnings Statistics for the United States, 1909-60, Bulletin 1312 (1961).
Coverage
The BLS sample of establishment employment and
payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the
field of social statistics. 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.

THE SAMPLE
Design
The sample design used in the BLS establishment
employment and labor turnover statistics programs is
that of a modified cutoff sample. In a cutoff design, all
establishments in a category are listed in sequence by
number of employees. A cutoff point is selected in terms
of the number of employees in an establishment, and only
establishments above the cutoff point are included in the
design. At present, sample selection is made by the cooperating State agencies at the metropolitan area level
with supplementation for establishments in sections of
the State lying outside of such areas. The national sample
therefore is the sum of all the State samples.
in cutoff sampling, the general objective is to obtain a sample comprising a large enough proportion of

The table below shows the approximate coverage,
in terms of employment, of the labor turnover sample.
The high degree of reliability of BLS estimates is
due to the relatively large percentage of the employment
universe covered by the sample, the frequent adjustments
of employment estimates to benchmark levels, and the
use of special techniques, such as stratification by size
and/or region.

Differences between the benchmarks and the estimates, as well as the sampling and response errors, result from changes in the industrial classification of
individual establishments (resulting from changes in their
product), which are not reflected in the levels of estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks.
At more detailed industry levels, particularly within manufacturing, this is the major cause of benchmark adjustments; however, it becomes of less importance at broader
aggregations of industries. Another cause of differences,
generally minor, between the estimates and the benchmark arises from improvements in the quality of benchmark data.

Communication:
-Reliability of the Employment Estimate
One measure of the reliability of an employment
estimate projected from a benchmark is the amount by
which it differs .from the new benchmark at-the next adjustment period. The BLS uses this criterion instead of
the standard error of the estimates, since it is not possible to compute a mathematically precise statement of
error unless the estimates are based on a probability
sample. An approximation of the accuracy of the BLS
employment estimates is shown by the following table:
For the most recent months, national estimates of
employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and
are so footnoted in the tables. These particular figures
are based on less than the full sample and consequently
are subject to revisions when all of the reports in the
sample have been received. Studies of these revisions
of preliminary estimates in the past indicate that they
have been relatively small (and most frequently upward)
for employment, and even smaller for hours and earnings.

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
-No benchmark adjustment was made in 1958.
Excludes adjustment caused by revision to 1957 SIC and by
categories of employees not previously included in estimates.
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.
Seasonal Adjustment
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be estimated on the
basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the
change which can be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observe the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern—that is,
changes in a seasonally adjusted series—it is important
to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted es-
timates have a broader margin of possible error than the
original data on which they are based, since they are
subject not only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal
adjustment process itself. Seasonally adjusted series
for selected labor force and establishment data are published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
10-E
The seasonal adjustment method used for these
series is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving
average method, with a provision for "moving* adjustment factors to take account of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description and illustration of the
basic method was published in the August I960 Monthly
Labor Review, and a revised version is described in the
1962 Report of the President's Committee to Appraise
Employment and Unemployment Statistics, Measuring
Employment and Unemployment, Appendix G, "The BLS
Seasonal Factor Method."
For establishment data, 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.
For each of the three major labor force componentsagricultural and nonagricultural employment, and unem-
11-E
ployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and female
workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then added to
give seasonally adjusted total figures. In order to produce seasonally adjusted total employment and civilian
labor force data, the appropriate series are aggregated.
The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived
by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex
components) by the figure for the seasonally adjusted
civilian labor force* (the sum of twelve seasonally
adjusted age-sex components).
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data are based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors are revised in the light of the
pattern revealed by subsequent data. Revised seasonally
adjusted series for major components of the labor force
based on data through December 1962 are published in the
March 1963 Employment and Earnings, Revisions will be
made annually as each additional year's data become
available.
