Employment and Unemployment Developments,
June 1971
Employment and unemployment rose less than
seasonally expected in June, as the number of
young people entering the job market was smaller
than in recent years. On a seasonally adjusted
basis, the overall unemployment rate dropped
from 6.2 percent in May to 5.6 percent in June,
returning to the level of last fall. Total employment fell one-half million to 78.4 million,
the same level as in March.
These declines may be somewhat overstated
because of the seasonal adjustment procedures
and because more young workers than usual
were still in school during the survey week.
(See note below.)
The jobless rate for teenagers and 20-24
year-olds declined sharply over the month.
There was also a reduction in joblessness
among workers 25 years and older.
Nonagricultural payroll employment declined
by 310,000 in June on a seasonally adjusted
basis, returning to the February level. Declines were widespread among the major industry divisions, particularly in manufacturing
and trade. The average workweek for all rankand-file workers in manufacturing inched up
over the month, while factory overtime rose to
the highest level since last summer,
Unemployment
The number of unemployed persons totaled
5.5 million in June, 1.1 million more than in
May. Unemployment usually increases sharply
between May and June, but this year the rise
was much less than seasonally expected, as a
smaller-than-usual number of youth entered
the labor force at the conclusion of the school
year. After seasonal adjustment, the level of
unemployment was down by 530,000, Most of
the decline occurred among workers who were
either new entrants or reentrants to the labor
force, largely teenagers and young adults. Unemployment stemming from job loss was virtually unchanged in June for the second straight
month.
The overall unemployment rate dropped from
6.2 percent in May to 5.6 percent in June, the
lowest level since the 5.5 percent of October.
E specially sharp reductions in the unemployment
NOTE: Seasonal adjustment of labor force data is essentially based upon the average experience of the
previous 8 years. When the level of unemployment changes appreciably, such as it did beginning in late
1969, the seasonal factors based on earlier years may produce an over- or under-compensation for many
of the usual seasonal movements. Large seasonal changes in unemployment typically occur between May
and June, August and September, and December and January. It is likely, therefore, that seasonally adjusted changes may be exaggerated during such periods. As originally reported in 1970, for example, the
overall rate declined from 5.0 percent in May to 4.7 percent in June, but this change was moderated to
4.9 percent in May and 4.8 percent in June when the seasonal adjustment factors were re-computed in the
regular revision in early 1971. When the seasonal adjustment factors for this year are updated, the MayJune 1971 change will probably also be moderated. This comment also applies to a number of specific
unemployment rates, such as those by occupation. A review of seasonal adjustment procedures is currently
underway at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Many young persons were still in school at the time of the June 1971 survey, because the regular
survey week, defined to be the week including the 12th day of each month, came early this June, the week
of June 6-12.
rate occurred among teenagers and young adults.
For teenagers, the jobless rate fell from 17.3 to
15o8 percent, seasonally adjusted, returning to
the level of last summer. The jobless rate for
20-24 year-olds declined from 11 .1 percent in
May to 9.9 percent in June, reflecting reduced
joblessness among both young men and women.
The jobless rate for men 25 years and over
fell from 3.6 percent in May to 3.3 percent in
June. For women 25 years and over, the rate
moved down from 4.8 percent to 4.5 percent.
Both June rates were at their lowest levels
since the fall of last year.
Unemployment rates were reduced for both
Negro and white workers in June. The Negro
unemployment rate dropped from 10.5 percent
in May to 9.4 percent in June, a return to the
March level. The decline took place exclusively
among women 20 years and over, whose rate
fell from 10.6 to 7.9 percent; this represented
a return to the levels of early 1971. The rate
for white workers fell from 5.7 to 5.2 percent,
returning to its October 1970 level.
For workers covered by State unemployment
insurance programs, the jobless rate edged up
from 4.3 percent in May to 4.4 percent in June.
The State insured rate had declined to 3.7 percent in February but has increased steadily
since then. (State insured jobless figures exclude unemployed new workers and those with
no recent work history.)
The number of persons unemployed less than
5 weeks fell by 235,000 over the month to
2.0 million, seasonally adjusted, a return to the
June 1970 level. This primarily reflected the
relatively small inflow of 16-24 year-old jobseekers. Unemployment of long-term duration
(15 weeks or more) was essentially unchanged
over the month. The average (mean) duration
of joblessness increased from 11.5 weeks in
May to 12.7 weeks in June.
Civilian labor force and total employment
The number of persons in the civilian labor
force rose by 1.9 million in June to 85.0 million. The rise was less than usual for the
month, however, as the early summer influx
of youth into the job market was smaller than
in the past few years. As a result, after sea-
sonal adjustment, the civilian labor force was
down by over 1.0 million, with nearly all of the
change occurring among 16-24 year-olds. The
June reduction brought the civilian labor force
to its lowest level since the summer of 1970.
The number of employed per sons rose 770,000
in June to 79.5 million, but this increase was
also less than seasonally e x p e c t e d . Consequently, after seasonal adjustment, total employment was down by 520,000, with nearly
all of the drop occurring among teenagers.
Employment of both men and women 20 years
of age and over was unchanged in June, although employment of adult men has risen
400,000 since the recent low reached last
December.
Over the year, the civilian labor force has
grown by 920,000, with three-fifths of the rise
occurring among young adult men, many of
whom were returning veterans. In contrast,
total employment was about unchanged since
last June, as a moderate employment gain
among men 20-24 years of age was offset by
a decline in employment among teenagers and
men 25 years and over. Unemployment was up
by 820,000 over the year.
Industry payroll employment
The number of wage and salary workers on
nonagricultural payrolls was 71.3 million in
June, 490,000 more than in May. The rise was
less than the usual May-June pickup, however,
and, after seasonal adjustment, payroll employment was down 310,000. The drop returned
employment to the February level, 660,000 below
the alltime peak reached in March 1970.
Seasonally adjusted payroll employment declines were widespread among the major industry divisions. Employment in manufacturing
dropped 115,000 in June, following small gains
in the previous 2 months. More than half of
the drop was registered in the durable goods
industries, particularly in the five major metals
and metal-using industries. In nondurable goods,
the largest seasonally adjusted employment decrease occurred in the apparel industry. Since
reaching an alltime peak in September 1969,
total manufacturing employment has declined
by 1.6 million, or 8.1 percent.
Contract construction fell 55,000 in June on
a seasonally adjusted basis, the second straight
monthly reduction. Employment in the industry
was below its year-ago level and 280,000 (or
8.0 percent) below the alltime peak reached in
December 1969.
In the service-producing industries, employment reductions were recorded in trade (90,000)
and services (45,000), The decline in trade followed several months of increases and returned
the job total to the January level. In government,
a decline in Federal employment (25,000) more
than offset a small gain in State and local employment.
Hours of work
The workweek for all rank-and-file workers
on private nonagricultural payrolls rose by
0.4 hour between May and June, slightly more
than seasonally expected. After seasonal adjustment, weekly hours were up one-tenth of an
hour to 37.1 hours. Since October 1970, the
average workweek has ranged narrowly between 36.9 and 37.1 hours.
In manufacturing, seasonally adjusted weekly
hours inched up 0.1 hour to 40.0 hours. This
was the first time since July 1970 that the
factory workweek had touched the 40-hour
mark, although hours still remained considerably below the levels prevailing in 1969. The
small increase in the factory workweek took
place largely in the major metals industries
of the durable goods sector.
Factory overtime rose 0.2 hour over the
month to 3.0 hours in June, seasonally adjusted.
This brought the level to the highest point
since August 1970.
Earnings
Average hourly earnings of rank-and-file
workers on private nonagricultural payrolls
were $3.42 in June, up 1 cent from May.
Compared with a year ago, hourly earnings
were up by 21 cents or 6.5 percent.
As a result of the increase in the workweek
and the rise in hourly earnings, average weekly
earnings increased by $1.74 over the month to
$127.57. Advances in weekly earnings occurred
in all major industry divisions with the exception of finance, insurance and real estate.
Compared with June 1970, average weekly
earnings were up by $7.52 or 6.3 percent.
During the latest 12-month period for which
Consumer Price Index data are available—
May 1970 and May 1971—the index rose by 4.4
percent.
Quarterly developments
On a quarterly average basis, total employment and unemployment (seasonally adjusted)
have shown relatively little change since the
fall of 1970. The overall jobless rate, at 6.0
percent in the second quarter, was essentially
unchanged from the 5.9 percent rate which prevailed in both the last quarter of 1970 and the
first quarter of 1971. Labor force and employment have risen only slightly during this period.
The average workweek has also remained rather
steady since last fall, though in the manufacturing sector it rose in both the first and second
quarters.
Labor force and total employment. The civilian labor force edged up 110,000 to 83.7
million (seasonally adjusted) in the second quarter of 1971. This was the second consecutive
quarter in which the civilian labor force growth
was very small. Between the second quarter
of 1970 and the second quarter of 1971, the
civilian labor force grew by a total of 1.1 million, with roughly one-third of the gain being
attributable to a reduction of the Armed Forces.
The total labor force, which includes persons
in the Armed Forces in addition to those in the
civilian labor force, averaged 86.5 million (seasonally adjusted) in the April-June period—the
third consecutive quarter at that level. Since
the second quarter of 1970, the total labor force
has grown by only 700,000, or at about half the
pace at which it is expected to grow on the basis
of long-term population growth and labor force
participation trends. The recent slackening of
labor force growth has been most evident among
women and teenagers, the two groups largely
responsible for the very rapid labor force increases of the late 1960's.
Total civilian employment averaged 78.7 million (seasonally adjusted) in the second quarter,
slightly above the first quarter level. Employment in the April-June period was 200,000
below the alltime peak of 78.9 million attained
in the first quarter of 1970.
Employment among males 20 years and over,
which had drifted downward for 4 consecutive
quarters, posted a substantial advance of 350,000
in the second quarter of 1971, This gain, however, was largely offset by a sizeable decline
in employment among adult women (250,000) and
a slight drop in teenage employment (30,000),
The gain in employment among adult men was
about evenly divided between those in the 20-to24 age group and those 25 years of age and over;
the decline in female employment occurred entirely among those 25 years of age and over.
Unemployment. The number of jobless persons averaged 5.0 million (seasonally adjusted)
in the second quarter of 1971, virtually the
same as in the previous 2 quarters. Joblessness among most major labor force groups
has exhibited little change over the past 2
quarters. The April-June average rates for
all adult men (4.4 percent), married men
(3.2 percent), and teenagers (16.8 percent)
were virtually the same as in the fourth quarter of 1970. The jobless rate for adult women,
however8 has drifted upward slightly (from
5.5 to 5.8 percent) since the last quarter of
1970. This rise occurred largely among Negro
women and caused the jobless rate for all
Negro workers to advance from 9.2 to 9.9 percent between the fourth quarter of 1970 and
the second quarter of 1971. The rate for white
workers (5.5 percent in the second quarter)
has been virtually unchanged since last fall.
The rate of Negro-to-white joblessness was
1.8 to 1 in the April-June quarter, compared
with 1.7 to 1 in the 2 previous quarters.
Quarterly unemployment rates by occupation
and industry have also shown few discernable
trends thus far in 1971. The only significant
exceptions on an occupational basis were a
decline in unemployment among craftsmen and
foremen and an increase among service worke r s . On an industry basis, there was a moderate decline in unemployment among manufacturing workers and an increase among trade
workers.
Industry employment. Payroll employment
in the nonagricultural sector averaged 70.7
million (seasonally adjusted) in the second
quarter of 1971, about 100,000 above the year's
first quarter but still well below the 71.1 million quarterly peak attained in 1970*s JanuaryMarch period.
In the goods-producing industries (manufacturing, construction, and mining), employment
has shown practically no change over the last
2 quarters, after declining substantially over
the previous 5 quarters. In the service-producing
sector, employment continued to rise in the
second quarter, but the gain (140,000) was
modest compared with the increases of the
previous 2 quarters—300,000 and 465,000, r e spectively.
The average workweek for production and nonsupervisory workers in the total private economy
remained unchanged at 37.0 hours in the second
quarter. In manufacturing, however, the workweek moved up for the second consecutive quarter. At 39.9 hours, it returned to the level
of a year ago.

\J War veterans are defined by the dates of their service in the U. S. Armed Forces as follows: Vietnam Era--served after
August 4, 1964; Korean Conflict—served at any time between June 27, 1950 and January 31, 1955; World War II--served at any time from
September 16, 1940 to July 25, 1947; World War I—served at any time between April 6, 1917 and November 11, 1918. A Post-KoreanPeacetime veteran served in the Armed Forces between February 1, 1955 and August 4, 1964, inclusive. A person who served in more than
one period is classified according to his latest period of service, A Nonveteran never served in the Armed Forces3 or served only in
peacetime prior to June 27, 1950.

Technical Note
Employment
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from three
major sources: (1) household interviews, (2) reports from employers, and (3) administrative statistics of unemployment
insurance systems.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from a
sample survey of the population 16 years of age and over. The
survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census
for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive
data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed,
including such characteristics as age, sex, color, marital status,
occupations, hours of work, and duration of unemployment.
The survey also provides data on the characteristics and past
work experience of those not in the labor force. The information
is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about
50,000 households, representing 449 areas in 863 counties and
independent cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District
of Columbia. The data collected are based on the activity or
status reported for the calendar week including the 12th of the
month.
Data based on establishment records are compiled each
month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The establishment
surveys are designed to provide detailed industry information
on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly
hours, average hourly and weekly earnings, job vacancies, and
labor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan area*.
The employment, hours, and earnings series are based on payroll
reports from a sample of establishments employing about 30
million nonagriculture wage and salary workers. The data relate
to all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the
payroll period which includes the 12th of the month. Based
on a somewhat smaller sample, labor turnover data relate to
actions occurring during the month while job vacancies pertain
to those outstanding at the end of the month.
Coverage. The household survey definition of employment
comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and
other private household workers), self-employed persons, and
unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during the survey
week in family-operated enterprises. Employment in both
agricultural and nonagricultural industries is inpluded. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments.
Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population without duplication
since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or not
in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job
are counted only once and are classified according to the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during the
survey week. In the figures based on establishment records,
persons who worked jn 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 but
had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or
because they were taking time off for various other reasons,
even if they were not paid by their employers for the time off.
In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on leave paid for
by the company are included, but not those on leave without
pay for the entire payroll period.
For a comprehensive discussion of the differences between
household and establishment survey employment data, see
Gloria P. Green's article "Comparing employment estimates
from household and payroll surveys," Monthly Labor Review,
December 1969. Reprints of this article are available upon
request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Data based on administrative records of unemployment
insurance systems furnish a complete count of insured unemployment among the two-thirds of the Nation's labor force
covered by unemployment insurance programs. Weekly reports,
by State, are issued on the number of initial claims, the volume,
and rate of insured unemployment under State unemployment
insurance programs, and the volume under programs of unemployment compensation for Federal employees, ex-servicemen,
and railroad workers. These statistics are published by the
Manpower Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."
Hours of Work
The household survey measures hours actually worked whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers. In
th« 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.
Relation between the household and establishment series
The household and establishment data supplement one
another, each providing significant types of information that the
other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for
example, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived
only from establishment reports.
Data 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 major factors which have a differential effect
on levels and trends of the two series are as follows:
131
Comparability of the household interview
data with other series
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from
the household survey includes all persons who did not have a job
at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were
waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid
off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims,
prepared by the Manpower Administration of the Department
of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit
rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local government, domestic service, self-employment, unpaid family work,
nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment
compensation differ from the definition of unemployment used
in the household survey. For example, persons with a job but
not at work and persons working only a few hours during the
week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation
but are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the
household survey.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under 16 in the Statistical Research Service
(SRS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders who are
counted more than once if they worked on more than one
farm during the reporting period. There are also wide differences
in sampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods,
which cannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences in level and trend of the two series.
business units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, the industrial
classification of establishments) and different reporting patterns
by multiunit companies. There are also differences in the scope
of the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Business excludes
contract construction, professional services, public utilities, and
financial establishments, whereas these are included in BLS
statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business Patterns,
published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce and
Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establishment
statistics in the treatment of central administrative offices and
auxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrial
classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes
interstate railroads and government, and coverage is incomplete
for some of the nonprofit activities.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonagricultural wage and salary workers are
covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All workers
in certain activities, such as interstate railroads, are excluded. In
addition, small firms in covered industries are also excluded
in 28 States (as of January 1, 1970). In general, these are
establishments with less than four employees.
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
reasons for some noncomparability are different treatment of
Additional information concerning the preparation of the
labor force, employment, hours, earnings, job vacancy,
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.
Labor Force Data
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other characteristics of the
employed, the unemployed, and persons not in the labor
force, and related data are compiled for the BLS by the
Bureau of the Census in its Current Population Survey (CPS).
A detailed description of this survey appears in "Concepts and
Methods Used in Manpower Statistics from the Current Population Survey" (BLS Report 313). This report is available from
BLS on request.
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted
with a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the
civilian noninstitutional population 16 years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the
employment status of each member of the household 16 years
of age and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during
the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, which includes
the 12th of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual
field interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 16 years of age
are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are
excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown
132
in this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are
included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
Each month, 50,000 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 2,250 of these households are visited but
interviews are not obtained because the occupants are not
found at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other
reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of
about 4.5 percent. In addition to the 50,000 occupied un'
there are 8,500 sample units in an average month which are
visited but -found to be vacant or otherwise not to be
enumerated. Part of the sample is changed each month.
The rotation plan provides for three-fourths of the sample to
be common from one month to the next, and one-half to
be common with the same month a year ago.
CONCEPTS
Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during the
survey week did any work at all as paid employees, in their
own business, profession, or farm, or who worked 15 hours
or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a
member of the family, and (b) all those who were not
working but who had jobs or businesses from which they were
temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation,
labor-management dispute, or personal reasons, whether or not
they were paid by their employers for the time off, and whether
or not they were seeking other jobs.
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.
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
during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job
within the past 4 weeks, and who were available for work during
the survey week (except for temporary illness). Also included as
unemployed are those who did not work at all, were available for
work, 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.
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.
For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the
number of full weeks since the termination of their most recent
employment. A period of 2 weeks or more during which a person was employed or ceased looking for work is considered to
break the continuity of the present period of seeking work.
Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment are divided into four major groups. (1) Job losers are persons whose
employment ended involuntarily who immediately began looking
for work and persons on layoff. (2) Job leavers are persons who
quit or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily and
immediately began looking for work. (3) Reentrants are persons
who previously worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
longer but who were out of the labor force prior to beginning to
look for work. (4) New entrants are persons who never worked
at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer.
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.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed
as a percent of the civilian labor force. This measure can also be
computed for groups within the labor force classified by sex, age,
marital status, color, etc. The job-loser, job-leaver, reentrant, and
new entrant rates are each calculated as a percent of the civilian
labor force; the sum of the rates for the four groups thus equals
the total unemployment rate.
Participation rates represent the proportion of the noninstitutional population that is in the labor force. Two types of participation rates are published: the total labor force participation
rate, which is the ratio of the total labor force and the total noninstitutional population, and the civilian labor force participation rate, which is the ratio of civilian labor force and civilian
133
noninstitutional population. Participation rates are usually published for sex-age groups, often cross-classified by other demographic characteristics such as color and educational attainment.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 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.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous work experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for a job at the
time of interview, and reasons for not looking for work are compiled on a quarterly basis as of January 1970, the detailed questions for persons not in the labor force are asked only in those
households that are in the fourth and eight months of the sample, i.e., the "outgoing" groups, those which had been in the
sample for 3 previous months and would not be in for the subsequent month. Between 1967 and 1969, the detailed not-inlabor force questions were asked of persons in the first and fifth
months in the sample, i.e., the "incoming" groups.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the employed
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 unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time civilian
job lasting 2 weeks or more. The occupation and industry groups
used in data derived from the CPS household interviews are defined as in the 1960 Census of Population. Information on the
detailed categories included in these groups is available upon
request.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salary
workers ," subdivided into private and government workers, "selfemployed 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. Selfemployed 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.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number of hours
worked during the survey week. For example, a person who normally works 4 0 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.
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.
The distribution of employment by hours worked relate to
persons "at work" during the survey week. At-work data differ
from data on total employment because the latter include
persons in zero-hours worked category, "with a job but not at
work." Included in this latter group are persons who were on
vacation, ill, involved in a labor dispute, or otherwise absent
from their jobs for voluntary, noneconomic reasons.
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 full-time work. "Other reasons"
include: labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for full-time work,
and full-time worker only during peak season. Persons on fulltime schedules include, in addition to those working 35 hours or
more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomic
reasons and usually work full time.
are closely correlated with labor force participation and other
principal measurements made from the sample, the latter estimates can be substantially improved when weighted appropriately by the known distribution of these population characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of ratio estimates as follows:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is a procedure in which the
sample proportions are weighted by the known 1960 Census data
on the color-residence distribution of the population. This step
takes into account the differences existing at the time of the
1960 Census between the color-residence distribution for the
Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the sample proportions are weighted by independent current estimates of the
population by age, sex, and color. These estimates are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data (1960) to
take account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality,
and migration between the United States and other countries.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a
given month, a composite estimating procedure is used which
takes account of net changes from the previous month for*continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces the sampling
variability of month-to-month changes especially and of the
levels for most items also.
Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor force consists of persons working on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily working part time (because full-time work is not available),
and unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The part-time
labor force consists of persons working part time voluntarily and
unemployed persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job
but not at work during the survey week are classified according
to whether they usually work full or part time.
Labor force time lost is a measure of man-hours lost to the
economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed as a percent of potentially available
man-hours. It is computed by assuming: (1) that unemployed
persons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours,
(2) that those looking for part-time work lost the average number of hours actually worked by voluntary part-time workers
during the survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5 hours and the
actual number of hours they worked.
White and Negro and other races are terms used to describe
the color or race of workers. The Negro and other races category,
which had formerly been identified as "nonwhite," includes all
persons who are observed in the enumeration process to be other
than white. At the time of the 1960 Census of Population, approximately 92 percent of the Negro and other races population
group were Negro; the remainder were American Indians,
Eskimos, Orientials, and other nonwhites. Tables in this volume
which contain these data utilize the word "color" to so indicate.
Rounding of Estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals
shown in the same tables because of independent rounding of
totals and components to the nearest thousand. Differences,
however, are insignificant.
Reliability of the Estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may differ
from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possible
to take a complete census using the same schedules and
procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that
is, the variations that might occur by chance because only a
sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are about 2
out*1 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.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of the results for a given month become available simultaneously and
are based on returns from the entire panel of respondents. There
are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark data
on labor force, employment, or unemployment. Therefore, revisions of the historical data are not an inherent feature of this
statistical program.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed
households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for occupied sample households for which no information was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or unavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately
by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six groups—
color (white and Negro and other races) within the three residence categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The
proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 4

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
The figures presented in table B are to be used for other
characteristics and are approximations of the standard errors of
all such characteristics. They should be interpreted as providing
an indication of the order of magnitude of the standard errors
rather than as the precise standard error for any specific item.
The standard error of the change in an item from one month
to the next month is more closely related to the standard error
of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the specific
134
the standard error of the month-to-month change in table C
corresponding to this standard error of level. It should be
noted that table C applies to estimates of change between 2
•consecutive months. For changes between the current month
and the same month last year, the standard errors of level shown
in table B are acceptable approximations.
Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total number
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 133,000. Consequently, the chances are
about 68 out of 100 that the sample estimate differs by less than
133,000 from the figure which would have been obtained from
a complete count of the number of persons working the given
number of hours. Using the 133,000 as the standard error of the
monthly level in table C, it may be seen that the standard error
of the 500,000 increase is about 126,000.

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

Establishment Data
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage and
salary employment, hours, earnings, job vacancies, and labor
turnover in nonagricultural establishments, by industry and
geographic location.
establishment making more than one product or engaging
in more than one activity, the entire employment of the
establishment is included under the industry indicated by the
most important product or activity.
All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings,
job vacancy, and labor turnover series are classified in accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau
of the Budget, 1967.
Federal-State Cooperation
Industry Employment
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, the
respondent fills out a single employment or job vacancy-labor
turnover reporting form, which is then used for national, State,
and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the
part of respondents and, together with the use of identical
techniques at the national and State levels, insures maximum
comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments and
examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare State
and area series and then send the establishment data to the
BLS for use in preparing the national series.
Shuttle Schedules
Two types of data collection schedules are used: Form BLS
790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours;
and Form D L 1219—Monthly Report on Job Openings and
Labor Turnover. These schedules are of the "shuttle" type,
with space for each month of the calendar year. The collecting
agency returns the schedule to the respondent each month so
that the next month's data can be entered. This procedure
assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting,
since the respondent can see the figures he has reported for
previous months.
Form BLS 7 9 0 provides for entry of data 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 which includes the 12th of the
month. Form D L 1219 provides for the collection of information on the total number of accessions and separations,
by type, during the calendar month, and three job vacancy
items as of the end of the month: current job vacancies,
(i.e., vacancies available for immediate filling), current vacancies which have remained unfilled for 30 days or more, and
openings with future starting dates.
CONCEPTS
industrial Classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and Form
DL 1219 are classified into industries on the basis of their
principal product or activity determined from information on
annual sales volume. This information is collected each year
on a supplement to the monthly 790 or 1219 report. For an
136
Employment data, except those for the Federal Government,
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. For Federal Government establishments, employment
figures represent the number of persons who occupied positions
on the last day of the calendar month. Intermittent workers are
counted if they performed any service during the month.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid
volunteer or family workers, farm workers, and domestic
workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations are
included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; military personnel are excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sick
leave (when pay is received directly from the 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
have not reported to work during the period.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payrolls
and man-hours for production and related workers in manufacturing and mining, construction workers in contract construction, and nonsupervisory employees in the remaining nonagricultural components. For Federal Government, hours and earnings
relate to all employees, both supervisory and nonsupervisory.
Terms are defined below.
When the pay period reported
is longer than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weekly basis.
Production and related workers include working foremen
and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees)
engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping,
maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services, product
development, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g.,
power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees in
the contract construction division: working foremen, journeymen, mechanic's, apprentices, laborers, etc., whether working
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.
Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not above
the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical work-
ers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social workers, research aids, teachers, draftsmen, photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant
workers, custodial workers, attendants, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose services are closely associated with those of the
employees listed.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received
pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th
of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions of
any kind, e.g., for old-age and unemployment insurance,
group insurance, withholding tax, bonds, or union dues;
also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and
sick leave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned
and paid regularly each pay period), other pay not earned
in pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), tips, and the
value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are
excluded. "Fringe benefits" (such as health and other types
of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc. paid by the
employer) are also excluded.
Average Weekly Hours
The workweek information relates to the average hours
for which pay was received and is different from standard or
scheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover,
part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours
to be lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment.
Group averages further reflect changes in the workweek of
component industries.
Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross
average weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours
and for which overtime premiums were paid. If an employee
worked on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total
compensation his holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours
worked that day, no overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily
move in the same direction from month-to-month; for example, overtime premiums may be paid for hours in excess
of the straight-time workday although less than a full week
is worked. Diverse trends at the industry-group level also
may be caused by a marked change in gross hours for a component industry where little or no overtime was worked in
both the previous and current months. In addition, such
factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may
not have the same influence on overtime hours as on gross
hours.
Man-hours cover man-hours paid for, during the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month, for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers. The man-hours include
hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when
pay is received directly from the firm.
Overtime hours cover hours worked by production or related workers for which overtime premiums were paid because
the hours were in excess of the number of hours of either the
straight-time workday or the workweek during the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month. Weekend and holiday
hours are included only if overtime premiums were paid.
Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or
other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.
Hours and Earnings for Total Private
Nonagricultural Industries
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings are on a "gross" basis, reflecting
not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates but
also such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and
late-shift work and changes in output of workers paid on an
incentive plan. Shifts in the volume of employment between
relatively high-paid and low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individual
industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period
of time; rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit of
work or time. The earnings series does not measure the level
of total labor costs on the part of the employer since the
following are excluded: irregular bonuses, retroactive items,
payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by
employers, and earnings for those employees not covered
under the production-worker, construction-worker, or nonsupvisory-employee definitions.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying
average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore,
weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross
average hourly earnings but also by changes in the length of
the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes,
labor turnover, and absenteeism.
137
This series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions except government. The principal source of payroll data is Form
BLS 790. Secondary source material such as Employment and
Wages (Manpower Administration), County Business Patterns
(Bureau of the Census), and additional supporting information
such as The Hospital Guide, Part II, of the American Hospital
Association and special studies by the National Council of
Churches supplement data for certain industry groups within the
service division.
For a technical description of this series, see the article,
"Hours and Earnings for Workers in Private Nonagricultural Industries," published in the May 1967 issue of Employment and
Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force.
Railroad Hours and Earnings
The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in the
M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate
to all employees except executives, officials, and staff assistants
(ICC group I) who received pay during the month. Gross average
hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensation by
total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly
basis, by the number of employees, as defined above. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly
hours bv average hourly earnings.
Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security and income taxes from gross weekly earnings. The amount of income
tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by
the worker and his marital status, as well as on the level of his
gross income. To reflect these variables, spendable earnings are
computed for a worker with no dependents and a married
worker with three dependents. The computations are based on
gross average weekly earnings for all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industry division excluding other income
and income earned by other family members.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the current
month. This is done for gross average weekly earnings and for
spendable average weekly earnings. The level of earnings is thus
adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base period
(1967).
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay are
computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for
the industry group by the sum of total production-worker manhours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January
1956, these data were based on the application of adjustment
factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described in the
Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at VA times
the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday work, late-shift work,
and overtime rates other than time and one-half.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours are
prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1967 period. The man-hour aggregates are the product of average weekly hours and productionworker employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product
of gross average weekly earnings and production-worker employment.
Labor Turnover
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and salary
workers into and out of employed status with respect to individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a calendar month, is divided into two broad types: accessions (new
hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a
rate per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees,
whether full- or part-time, permanent Dr temporary, including
executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers. Transfers to another establishment of the company are included, beginning with January 1959.
Accessions are the total number ot permanent and temporary
additions to the employment roll, including both new and rehired employees.
138
New hires are temporary or permanent additions to the
employment roll of persons who have never before been employed in the establishment (except employees transferring from
another establishment of the same company) or of former employees not recalled by the employer.
Other accessions, which are not published separately but are
included in total accessions, are all additions to the employment
roll which are not classified as new hires, including transfers
from another establishment of the company.
Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar month and are classified according to cause: quits, layoffs, and other separations, are defined as follows:
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized absences, if on tHe last day of the month the person has been absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to
last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately but are
included in total separations, are terminations of employment
because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement,
transfers to another establishment of the company, and entrance
into the Armed Forces for a period expected to last more than
30 consecutive calendar days.
Relationship of Labor Turnover to Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employment
series for the following reasons: (1) accessions and separations
are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month; and (2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover
actions although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates if the work stoppage extends through the report
period.
Job Vacancies
Job vacancies are the stock of unfilled job openings as of the
close of the last business day of the reference month. Openings
for all kinds of positions, classifications and employment, fulltime, part-time, permanent, temporary, and seasonal are included. Excluded are jobs to be filled by recall from layoff,
transfer, promotion, demotion or return from paid or unpaid
leave; jobs unoccupied because of labor-management disputes;
job openings for which "new" workers were already hired and
scheduled to start work later; and openings with future starting
dates, which are requested as a separate item.
Job vacancies are defined as vacant jobs which are immediately available for filling, and for which the firm is actively trying to find or recruit workers from outside the firm.
"Actively trying to find or recruit" means that the establishment is engaged in current efforts to fill the job vacancies by
means of orders listed with public or private employment agencies and school placement offices; notification to labor unions
and professional organizations; "help wanted" advertising (newspaper, posted notice, etc.) recruitment programs; and interview
and selection of applicants.
Long-term job vacancies are those current vacancies which
have continued unfilled for 30 days or more.
The reporting establishment is also asked to indicate the
number of openings with future starting dates for which the firm
is actively trying to recruit workers from outside the firm.
Job openings with future starting dates may exist for such
reasons as: job unavailable until expected separation of present
incumbent occurs; work will not start until some future date;
new branch to be opened in the future; or anticipated increase in
business.
The job vacancy rate is computed by dividing the number of
job vacancies by the sum of employment plus vacancies, and
multiplying that quotient by 100.
Occupational classifications are made in accordance with
those established in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, Third
Edition, U.S. Department of Labor, 1965.
ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the use of the "link
relative" technique, which is a form of ratio estimation, (2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and
(3) the use of size and regional stratification.
from reports of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, covering three-fourths of
the total nonagricultural employment in the United States, are
prepared under the direction of the Manpower Administration.
Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and a number of other agencies in private industry
or goverment.
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one, and
the new benchmark for each industry is then carried forward
progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.
Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment; the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level. A comparison of the actual
amounts of revisions made in the last 3 benchmark years as
shown in table E.
Table E. Nonagriculturai payroll employment estimates, by
industry divisions, as a percentage of the benchmark for
1967-1969
The "Link Relative" Technique
From a sample composed of establishments reporting for
both the previous and current months, the ratio of current
month employment to that of the previous month is computed.
This is called a link relative. The estimates of employment (all
employees, including production and nonproduction workers together) for the current month are obtained by multiplying the
estimates for the previous month by these "link relatives." In
addition, small bias correction factors are applied to selected employment estimates each month. The size of the bias correction
factors is determined from past experience. Other features of the
general procedures are described later in table L, Summary of
Methods for Computing Industry Statistics on Employment,
Hours, Earnings, Job Vacancies, and Labor Turnover. Further
details are given in the technical notes—Chapter 2, Employment, Hours and Earnings, and Chapter 3, Labor Turnover,
reprinted from the Handbook of Methods for Surveys and
Studies, BLS Bulletin 1458—which are available upon request.

Data for all months since the last benchmark to which the
series has been adjusted are 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.
Size and Regional Stratification
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight the hours and earnings into broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the
term is used in the summary of computational methods, may be
a whole industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size
stratum of a region within an industry.
THE SAMPLE
Design
The sampling plan used in the current employment statistics
program is known as "sampling proportionate to average size of
establishment." This design is an optimum allocation design
among strata since the sampling variance is proportional to the
average size of establishments. The universe of establishments is
stratified first by industry and then within each industry by size
of establishment in terms of employment. For each industry, the
number of sample units is distributed among the size class cells
on the basis of average employment per establishment in each
cell. In practice, this is equivalent to distributing the predetermined total number of establishments required in the sample
among the cells on the basis of the ratio of employment in each
Benchmark Adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically with comprehensive counts of employment which provide "benchmarks"
for the various nonagricultural industries, and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The industry estimates are
currently projected from March 1969 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made annuglly.
The primary sources of benchmark information are employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by State agencies
Industry division
139
Table F. Approximate size and coverage of BLS employment
and payrolls sample, March 19691
cell to total employment in the industry. Within each noncertainty stratum the sample members are selected at random.
Under this type of design, large establishments fall into the
sample with certainty. The size of the samples for the various
industries is determined empirically on the basis of experience
and of cost considerations. In a manufacturing industry in
which a high proportion of total employment is concentrated
in relatively few establishments, a large percentage of total employment is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample
design for such industries provides for a complete census of the
larger establishments with only a few chosen from among the
smaller establishments or none at all if the concentration of employment is great enough. On the other hand, in an industry in
which a large proportion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all large establishments and also for a substantial number of the smaller ones.
Many industries in the trade and services divisions fall into this
category. To keep the sample to a size which can be handled by
available resources, it is necessary to accept samples in these
divisions with a smaller proportion of universe employment than
is the case for most manufacturing industries. Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show
less fluctuation from regular cyclical or seasonal patterns than establishments in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples
(in terms of employment) generally produce reliable estimates.
In the context of the BLS employment and job vacancylabor turnover statistics programs, with their emphasis on producing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be obtained
which will provide coverage of a sufficiently large segment of the
universe to provide reasonably reliable estimates that can be
published promptly and regularly. The present sample meets
these specifications for most industries. With its use, the BLS is
able to produce preliminary estimates each month for many industries and for many geographic levels within a few weeks after
reports are mailed by respondents, and at a somewhat later date,
statistics in considerably greater industrial detail.

Since a few establishments do not report payroll and manhour information, hours and earnings estimates may be based on
a slightly smaller sample than employment estimates.

State and area estimates of Federal employment are based
on reports from a sample of Federal establishments, collected
through the BLS—State cooperative program.

Since some establishments do not report the information,
job vacancy estimates currently are based on reports from approximately 90 percent of the sample establishments covering
about 43 percent of universe employment.
benchmarks. In addition to taking account of sampling and
response errors, the benchmark revision adjusts the estimates
for changes in the industrial classification of individual establishments (resulting from changes in their product which are
not reflected in the levels of estimates until the data are adjusted
to new benchmarks). In fact, at the more detailed industry
levels, particularly within manufacturing, changes in classification are the major cause of benchmark adjustments. Another
cause of differences, generally minor, arises from improvements
in the quality of the benchmark data. Table H presents the average percent revisions of the 6 most recent benchmarks for major
industry divisions. Detailed descriptions of individual benchmark revisions are available from the Bureau upon request.
Reliability of the Employment Estimates
Although the relatively large size of the BLS establishment
sample assures a high degree of accuracy, the estimates derived
from it may differ from the figures that would be obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules
and procedures. As discussed under the previous section, a link
relative technique is used to estimate employment. This requires
the use of the previous month's estimate as the base in computing the current month's estimate. Thus, small sampling and response errors may cumulate over several months. To remove this
accumulated error, the estimates are adjusted annually to new

Estimates for government are based on a total count for
Federal Government and samples for State and local government
benchmarked to a quinquennial census of government conducted by the Bureau of the Census.
The hours and earnings estimates for cells are not subject to
benchmark revisions, although the broader groupings may be
affected slightly by changes in employment weights. The hours
and earnings estimated, however, are subject to sampling errors
which may be expressed as relative errors of the estimates. (A
relative error is a standard error expressed as a percent of the
estimate.) Relative errors for major industries are presented
in table H and for individual industries with the specified number of employees in cable I. The changes are about 2 out of 3
that the hours and earnings estimates from the sample would
differ by a smaller percentage than the relative error from the
averages that would have been obtained from a complete census.
One measure of the reliability of the employment estimates for
individual industries is the root-mean-square error (RMSE). The
measure is the standard deviation adjusted for the bias in estimates.
(RMSE=\/(Standard Deviation) 2 + (Bias) 2 ).
If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from its benchmark by less
than the root-mean-square error. The chances are about 19 out
of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the root-meansquare error.
Approximations of the root-mean-square errors (base on the
experience of the last 6 years) of differences between final estimates and benchmarks are presented in table I.

For the most recent months, estimates of employment,
hours, and earnings are preliminary and are so footnoted in
the tables. These figures are based on less than the total sample and are revised when all the reports in the sample have
been received. Trble J presents root-mean-square errors of the
amounts of revisions that may be expected between the preliminary and final levels of employment and preliminary and
final month-to-month changes. Revisions of preliminary hours
and earnings estimates are normally not greater than .1 of an
hour for weekly hours and 1 cent for hourly earnings.

Reliability of Job Vacancy Estimates
As with the employment estimates, the estimates derived
from the job vacancy survey may differ from the figures that
would have been obtained if it were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
Measures of reliability for the job vacancy estimates are
given by the relative errors in table K. The chances are
about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ
from a complete census by a smaller percentage than the relative
error. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference
would be a smaller percentage than twice the relative error.
STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
Table K. Relative errors of estimates of job vacancy data

(in percent)
Industry
State and area employment, hours, earnings, job vacancy,
and labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State
agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics relate
to metropolitan areas. Definitions for all areas are published
each year in the issue of Employment and Earnings that contains State and area annual averages (usually the May issue).
Changes in definitions are noted as they occur. Additional industry detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed
on the inside back cover of each issue. These statistics are based
on the same establishment reports used by BLS for preparing
national estimates. For employment, the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from the equivalent official U.S. totals
on a national basis, because some States have more recent
benchmarks than others and because of the effects of differing
industrial and geographic stratification.

Unemployment Insurance Data
Insured unemployment represents the number of persons
reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment insurance program. It includes some persons who are working part
time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and
household surveys. Excluded are persons who have exhausted
their benefit rights and workers who have not earned rights to
unemployment insurance. In general, excluded from coverage
are those persons who worked in firms whose size excluded
them from the unemployment insurance laws, as well as many
persons engaged in agriculture, domestic service, unpaid family
work, selected nonprofit organizations, State and local government and self-employment. Also excluded from the insured unemployment count, but included as employed in the household
survey, are those persons who earned no wages during the payroll period because they were temporarily absent from their jobs
due to taking time off, illness and industrial disputes as well as
unpaid vacations. The rate of insured unemployment is the
number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent of average covered employment in a 12-month period ending 6 to 8
months prior to the week of reference. Initial claims are notices
filed by those losing jobs covered by an unemployment insurance program that they are starting a period of unemployment.
A claimant who continues to be unemployed a full week is then
counted in the insured unemployment figure.
Because of differences in State laws and procedures under
which unemployment insurance programs are operated, State unemployment rates generally indicate, but do not precisely measure, differences among the individual States. Persons wishing to
receive a detailed description of the nature, sources, inclusions
and exclusions, and limitations of unemployment insurance data
should address their inquiries to Manpower Administration,
Washington, D.C. 20210.
Seasonal Adjustments
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
142
approximation based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted
estimates 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.
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 of the method is given in the booklet, The BLS
Seasonal Factor Method (1966), which may be obtained from
the Bureau on request.
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. However, seasonally adjusted employment
totals for all employees and production workers by industry division are obtained by summing seasonally adjusted data for the
component industries. Jndexes of aggregate weekly man-hours,
seasonally adjusted, for mining, contract construction, and the
major industries in manufacturing are obtained by multiplying
average weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing by the 1967 base. For
total, manufacturing, and durable and nondurable goods the indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours, seasonally adjusted, are
obtained by summing the aggregate weekly man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate component industries and dividing by the 1967 base.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal Government are based on a series which excludes the Christmas
temporary help employed by the Post Office Department in
December. The employment of these workers constitutes the
only significant seasonal change in Federal Government employment during the winter months. Furthermore, the volume of
such employment may change substantially from year to year
because of administrative decisions by the Post Office Department. Hence, it was considered desirable to exclude this group
from the data upon which the seasonally adjusted series is based.
The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishment
data reflect experience through February 1970. Seasonal factors
to be used for current adjustment are shown in the June 1970
Employment and Earnings, and revisions will be made coincidental with the adjustment of series to new benchmark levels.
For each of the three major labor force components—agricultural and nonagricultural employment and unemployment—
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 1970 are published
in the February 1971 Employment and Earnings. Revisions will
be made annually as each additional year's data become available.
The seasonal adjustment method used by BLS requires the
use of at least eight years of data, although there are special adjustment programs for as few as three years. Since collection of
job vacancy information was begun in January 1969, the data
necessary to seasonally adjust this series are not yet available. All
job vacancy information published in Employment and Earnings
is, therefore, on an unadjusted basis.
ATTENTION
As discussed in the Technical Note, the Bureau periodically
adjusts the industry employment series to a recent benchmark
to improve their accuracy. These adjustments may also affect
the hours, earnings, job vacancy, and labor turnover series because employment levels are used as weights. Industry data for
all national series shown in this report have been adjusted to
March 1969 benchmarks. Data from April 1969 forward are
subject to revision at the time of the next benchmark.
Beginning with the June 1970 and subsequent issues of
Employment and Earnings, the national data in Section B,
C, and D supersede those published in previous issues, as well
as those appearing in the Handbook of Labor Statistics, 1970.
Comparable data
are published in Employment and Earnings, United States, 190970, BLS Bulletin 1312-7.
