EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTS
May
1961
THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: MAY 1961
Nonfarm employment rose sharply between April and May, continuing the
uptrend which began a month earlier. The detailed statistics on the employment
situation for May showed a strong pickup in heavy industry. At the same time, however, both total and long-term unemployment remained at high levels.
The number of workers on nonfarm payrolls rose by 500, 000 over the month
to 52. 5 million, almost double the usual rise for May. Of particular significance
was a sharp job increase of nearly 150, 000 in the durable goods manufacturing
sector,where employment had fallen by almost 900, 000 from February I960 to
March 1961. The largest gains between April and May were in the steel and auto
industries and in fabricated metal plants supplying components to the automobile
industry>but there were increases throughout hard-goods manufacturing. There was
no change in nondurable manufacturing.
Total manufacturing employment--which normally shows a small decline in
May--rose by 150, 000 over the month to 15. 7 million but was still well below the
level of a year ago. Aside from gains in hard-goods manufacturing, nonfarm
employment increases were largely seasonal, occurring in construction, service,
and trade.
The workweek of factory production workers also moved up more than
seasonally, from 39. 3 hours in April to 39. 6 hours in May. As in April, the strongest pickup occurred in the durable goods sector. The factory workweek has now
moved upward for four months in a row, after allowance-for normal seasonal
variationffor a total gain of 0. 8 hour, but the workweek was still 0. 3 hour below a
year ago. With the increase in hours and a 1-cent increase in hourly earnings,
weekly earnings of factory workers were up to $92. 66 in May, $ 1. 09 more than
the month before and more than $2 higher than in January.
As reported on May 31, the number of unemployed persons fell seasonally
by 200, 000 over the month to 4. 8 million in May. The seasonally adjusted rate of
unemployment--6. 9 percent in May--maintained approximately the same level for
the 6th straight month. In May I960, when there were 1. 3 million fewer jobless
workers, the seasonally adjusted rate was 5. 1 percent.
Insured unemployment under regular State programs fell sharply by 450,000
to 2. 4 million between April and May. In addition^ the re were 700, 000 jobless
workers receiving benefits under the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation program.
The number out of work 15 weeks or longer also declined seasonally to 1. 9
million, but was at a postwar high for May. There continued to be 900, 000 among
the long-term unemployed who had been without jobs for more than half a year.

Insured under following programs: State unemployment insurance, unemployment compensation for Federal employees, veterans, ex-servicemen,
railroad workers (RRB) and temporary programs.
Beginning in January 1960. data include Alaska and Hawaii
Total employment climbed by 1 million to 66. 8 million in May; however,
the job total was still 400, 000 below a year ago. About half of the gain over the
month was in agriculture. Among the employed in May were 2. 8 million nonfarm
workers on part time for economic reasons, down 150, 000 from the month before,
but one-half million more than a year earlier.
Nonfarm Payroll Employment
Aside from gains in manufacturing, the largest employment increases in
May were in construction, service, and trade. Employment in construction rose
by about 150, 000 over the month; this was somewhat under the normal May rise,
but it followed 2 months of better-than-seasonal gains. In service and trade, the
increases of 70,000 and 50,000, respectively, were approximately seasonal.
In manufacturing, where the most significant increase occurred, nearly
all hard-goods industries showed better-than-seasonal gains; the largest occurred
in steel and autos, and in the industries engaged in making stampings, hardware
and elect rical equipment for vehicles.
In the soft-goods sector, the normal seasonal cutbacks did not take place.
However, in the apparel industry, a more moderate decline than is normal for
May appeared to reflect the new seasonal pattern in employment which has been
emerging in the past few years.
Despite the encouraging employment gains during the past 2 months, there
were about 650, 000 fewer nonfarm jobs in May than a year ago. Especially large
losses had occurred among production workers in manufacturing, mainly in
primary and fabricated metals, machinery, and automobiles.
Employment in nonmanufacturing industries showed sharply different
developments over the year. Transportation was down by 140, 000, trade by
120, 000, construction by 75, 000 and mining by 45, 000. The drop in transportation and mining reflected job cutbacks induced by the recession and a continuation
of the long-term decline. Employment in construction has shown no clear trend
during the past year. The decline in trade employment, although small in relation
to the number employed in that industry, was in marked contrast to the sharp growth
in jobs generally shown in trade during the postwar period.
By comparison with these losses, employment in State and local government continued to grow (up 310, 000 over the year) and there was a rise of
90, 000 in finance and service.
Factory Hours and Earnings
The workweek of factory production workers increased more than seasonally,
rising by 0. 3 hour to 39. 6 in May. This gain occurred mainly in the durable goods
sector, sparked by longer workweeks in steel, and in auto and auto supplier plants.
Textile mills also reported significant gains in hours of work. Since January, the
workweek has risen by 0. 8 hour on a seasonally adjusted basis, but was still 0. 3
hour below May a year ago. The decline from a year ago was represented entirely
by reduced overtime work.

1961
Data for last two months are preliminary.
With the May increase in hours of work and a 1-cent increase in hourlyearnings, weekly earnings of factory production workers rose by $1. 09 over the
month to $92. 66 in May. Compared with May I960, weekly earnings were $ 1, 29
higher because the 0. 3-hour decline in the workweek was more than offset by a
5-cent rise in hourly earnings.
Earnings in the durable goods sector averaged $2. 50 per hour for the first
time in May. With the increase over the month both in hourly earnings and in the
workweek, gross weekly earnings in durable goods once again rose above $100.
Although a number of individual industries have reported earnings of more than
$100 per week, only once before has the average for all durable goods industries
reached this mark—in January I960, when hourly earnings were 4 cents lower and
the workweek was 0. 9 hour larger.
Unemployment
Age and sex. Reemployment of adult men continued to account for most of
-the usual spring decline in unemployment. The changes over the month were
mainly seasonal for both men and women in most age groups, as they have been
since last December. However, unemployment rates in all age brackets remained
substantially above those for May I960. Increases were particularly large for
adult men and women.
There were 1. 7 million married men among the unemployed in May 1961, 35
percent of the jobless total. Their number has been reduced by 700, 000 since
February, accounting for three-fourths of the overall decline in unemployment.
However, their unemployment rate was still much higher than a year ago--4. 5
percent as against 3. 1 percent in May I960.
In addition, there were 700, 000 widowed, divorced and separated workers
unemployed and 800, 000 adult single men and women without jobs. These groups,
together with the married men, constituted two-thirds of the unemployed in May
1961.
Industry of last job. Unemployment rates dropped over the month in construction and other outdoor activities. At the same time, the recovery in hard goods
brought unemployment rates down in several industries, notably steel and autos.
However, in May, 1 out of every 8 steel and auto workers was still unemployed,
a much higher proportion than a year earlier.
Duration of unemployment. Long-term unemployment (the number out of
work 15 weeks or longer) was still at a very high level--1. 9 million-- in May,
although there was a seasonal decline of 200, 000 between April and May. No net
change occurred in the number with less than 15 weeks of unemployment. As in
April,900, 000 of the long-term jobless had been out of work 6 months or more.
Over the course of the 1960-61 economic downturn, long-term unemployment
roughly doubled as compared with a threefold increase during the comparable
period of the 1957-58 recession. Seasonally adjusted, long-term unemployment as
a percent of total unemployment climbed from 21. 6 percent last August to 33. 0
percent in May. This rate had reached a postwar high of 37. 8 percent in November
1958. Improvement in long-term unemployment usually lags behind an upturn in the
business situation, since drops in the number of new layoffs and lengthening hours
of work for those still employed usually precede rehiring of unemployed workers.

About half of all jobless blue-collar workers were among the long-term
unemployed in May, as compared with one-third of those last employed in whitecollar or service jobs. In addition, the blue-collar workers had shown by far the
greatest increases in long-term unemployment since last May.
Insured Unemployment
Insured unemployment under regular State programs moved down by 450,000
between April and May to 2 . 4 million. There were continued seasonal expansions
in trade, construction, and other outdoor work. In addition, further recalls to work
in many durable goods industries, particularly metal and metal-using industries,
contributed to the decline. Part of the drop in the number of insured jobless was
due to the exhaustion of benefit rights by claimants; the number of exhaustions rose
from 230, 000 in April to an estimated 250, 000 in May compared with 140, 000
during the same month in I960.
The number of jobless workers who had exhausted their State benefit rights
and were insured under the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation
program (TEC) rose from 415, 000 in mid-April to 700, 000 in mid-May. At the
end of May, when the program had been in operation for 7 weeks, the number
receiving benefits under TEC was 725,000.

Regular insured unemployment declined in all States over the month, with
the largest reductions in Michigan (55,000), Ohio (40,000), New York (35,000),
and Pennsylvania (35, 000). Reduced joblessness in the auto and primary and fabricated
metal industries accounted for one-half the decline in Michigan. Ohio and
Pennsylvania also noted sizable recalls in metals as well as less joblessness among
transportation equipment and machinery workers. New York reported a sizable
pickup in construction activities and some improvement in the metal and service
industries but also noted seasonal cutbacks in apparel plants.
The rate of insured unemployment for the Nation (not adjusted for seasonality) declined from 7. 0 percent in April to 5. 9 percent in May. TwoStates had
rates of more than 10 percent--Alaska (13. 6) and Maine (10. 2 percent)--compared
with seven in the preceding month. Among the eight other States with rates in
excess of 7. 0 percent were Kentucky (9. 7 percent), West Virginia (8. 9 percent),
Pennsylvania (8. 2 percent), and Michigan (7. 2 percent). Four other large
industrial States--California, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio--had rates ranging
from 6. 1 to 6. 8 percent, while those in Illinois and Texas were 4. 5 and 3. 5
percent, respectively.
Total Employment
About half of the 500, 000 increase in total nonagricultural employment over
the month occurred among teenage boys, many of whom began working at odd jobs.
As expected for May, the number of adult men holding nonfarm jobs showed a
moderate rise over the month. The 61.2 million total employed in nonagricultural
industries (including the self-employed, domestics, and unpaid family workers)
was not significantly changed from the May 1960 level.

The gain in farm employment was in line with the April-May increase which
usually takes place as farm activity builds up to peak summer levels. However,
normal spring farm work had been held back by unusually bad weather earlier this
year and has not yet made up for those delays. Partly as a result, agricultural
employment is now about 300, 000 below the May 1960 level.
Full-time and Part-time Employment
Persons at work on full-time schedules in nonfarm jobs numbered 49. 7
million in May--not significantly changed from a month earlier, but down 600, 000
from May I960. Almost all the over-the-year drop occurred among men and women
in the 20- to 44-year-old age brackets.
The number usually working full time whose hours were cut below 35 because
of slack work or other economic reasons dropped by 150, 000 over the month to 1. 3
million in May. Most of the drop occurred among adult men. The size of this
group of part-time workers was only slightly larger than a year ago,whereas it had
been running well above the levels of a year earlier for 13 months. As the chart (p. xiii)
shows, this group is made up mostly of blue-collar workers (75 percent). In
contrast, w o r k e r s in b l u e - c o l l a r occupations represent 40 percent of all
those at work in nonagricultural industries. Blue-collar workers, many of whom
are hourly production workers in manufacturing and construction, are most subject
to temporary cutbacks in the workweek, both in prosperity and in recession.
xi
Workers usually on part time because of inability to find full-time jobs
remained unchanged over the month at 1. 5 million, 350, 000 above May I960 and
higher than in any previous May on record. About 50 percent were in blue-collar
occupations.
The largest group of part-time workers hold such jobs by their own choice.
The number regularly employed part time rose by 350, 000 to 6. 8 million in May,
about the same level as last year. These "voluntary11 part-time workers usually
show some increase at this time of year, as warmer weather brings teenagers more
opportunities for work at odd jobs for private households and outdoor activities
such as construction. Many of these young people will become full-time workers
after school is out in June.
Labor Force
The April-May increase of 850,000 in the civilian labor force represented
the usual gain for this time of year, bringing the total to 71.5 million, a record
high for May. The rise over the month was accounted for by the addition of
teenagers and adult women to the farm work force, as well as the entry of some
youngsters into nonfarm activities.
After rather large increases during the first quarter of 1961, the over-theyear growth in the labor force amounted to 900, 000 persons in both April and May.
This is about the same as the yearly increase shown between 1959 and 1960, and
still a little below long-term projections of annual labor force growth for the early
19601s.

*Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Two
groups averaging about one-quarter million workers ,which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work)—those
on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 days—were assigned to different classifications,
mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.
»Not available.
'Beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous/years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force,
total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected.
•Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has
resulted in an increase of about half a million in the noninstltutional population 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.

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 9-E.
hours during the survey week. In the figures based on establishment records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the importing period are counted each time
their names appear on payrolls.
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
two major sources: (1) household interviews and (2) payroll
reports from employers.
Data based on household interview are obtained from
a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted
each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor
force, I.e., the total number of persons Ik 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 vork, and duration
of unemployment. The information Is collected by trained interviewed from a sample of about 35,000 households in 333 areas
throughout the country and Is based on the activity or status
reported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the
month.
Hours of Work
The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers.
In the household survey data, all persons with a Job but not at
work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on
paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included
and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid
during the reporting period.
Data based on establishment payroll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, in cooperation vith 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
latlon, States, and metropolitan areas.
The figures are based on payroll reports from a
sample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 million
nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all
workeri, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
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 work
at all during the survey week and ffjumi 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).
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 below:
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.
Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition
of employment comprises wags 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 farm and nonfarm Industries is Included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of
nonfarm establishments.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the Inclusion of persons under lV In the Agricultural Marketing
Service (ANS) 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.
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
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.
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
1-E
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.
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 multi-unit 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.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not
living on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratory
farm workers).
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of
work around the house (such as own home housework, and painting
or repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.
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.
Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did not
work at all during the survey week and were looking for work,
regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did
not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job
from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not
in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed
no work was available in their line of work or in the community.
Persons in this latter category; ]wi 11 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.
Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs.
Not all nonf arm wage and salary workers are covered by the itaemployment Insurance programs. All vorkers in certain activities,
such as nonprofit organisations and interstate railroads, are
excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are
also excluded In 32 States. In general, these are establishments irlth less than four employees.
LABOR FORCE DATA
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.
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.)
Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time
(through the current survey week)"~durlng which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously*looking for work or
would have been looking for work except for temporary illness,
or belief that no work was available in their line of work or in
the community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment
represents the number of full weeks since the termination of
their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic
mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted
with a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the
civilian nonlnstltutional population Ik years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household Ik years of age
and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the
calendar week, SundagQthrough Saturday, ending nearest the 15th
of the month. This Is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted In the following week.
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.
Inmates of institutions and persons under Ik years of
age are not covered In the regular monthly enumerations and are
excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown in
this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories "total noninstitutlonal population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
Not in Labor Force includes all civilians Ik years and
over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These
persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental Illness, and "other." The "other" group includes
for the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to
work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as
unemployed. Persons doing only Incidental unpaid family work
(less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor
force.
The sample for CPS is spread over 333 areas comprising 6^1 counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50
States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed interviews are obtained each month from about 35,000 household*.
There are about 1,500 additional sample households from which
information should be collected but is not because the occupants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporarily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about k percent.
Part of the sample Is changed each month. The rotation plan
provides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to be
common from one month to the next, and one-half to be common
with the same month a year ago.
CONCEPTS
Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to the
job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are
classified in the job at which they worked the greatest number
of hours during the survey week. The occupation and industry
groups used in data derived from the CPS household Interviews
are defined as in the i960 Census of Population. Information on
the detailed categories included in these groups is available
upon request.
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 abseBt 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.
The industrial classification system used in the Census
of Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhat
from that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by industry. Employment levels by Industry from the household survey,
although useful for many analytical purposes, are not published
in order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ from
the payroll series because of differences in classification,
sampling variability, and other reasons. The industry figures
from the household survey are used as a base for published
distributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other
2-E
characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, and
occupation.
mortality, and migration between the United States and other
countries.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and
salary workers," subdivided into private and government workers,
"self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage and
salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or pay
in kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit.
Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in
their own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15
hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a
member of the household to whom they are related by blood or
marriage.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month^a composite estimating procedure is
used which takes account of net changes from the previous month
for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the
sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces
the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes
but also of the levels for most items.
Seasonal Adjustment
The seasonal adjustment method used for the labor
force series is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving
average method, with a provision for "moving11 adjustment factors to take account of changing seasonal patterns. In the
case of unemployment, four age-sex groups (male and female
unemployed workers under age 20 and aged 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then added
to give a seasonally adjusted total unemployment figure. The
seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived "by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment (the
sum of the four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the
figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force. A
description of the basic method was published in the August
i960 Monthly Labor Review; the method for unemployment is discussed on page xii of the February 1961 issue of Qnployment
and Earnings.
Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example, a person
who normally works VO hours a week but who was off on the
veteran* 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.
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.
Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of
the labor force to be applied to data for 1959 and later are
shown in table A. Seasonally adjusted aggregates for these and
other major series for the period July 1948 through December
i960 are shown on pages xiii through xxiii of the February 1961
issue. These factors and seasonally adjusted data replace
those published in BLS Special Labor Force Report No. 8, New
Seasonal Adjustment Factors for Labor Force Components.
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^distribution! by independent estimates of the population. The principal steps involved are shown
be,low. 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. Honinterview 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 nonwhlte) within the three residence
categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5
percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.

2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance,
from that of the 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:

Reliability of the Estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that might occur by chance because
only a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are
about two out of three that an estimate from the sample would
differ from a complete census by less than the standard error.
The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be
less than twice the standard error.
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the
known 1950 Census data on the color-residence distribution of
the population. This step takes into account the differences
existing at the time of the 1950 Census between the colorresidence distribution for the Ration and for the sample areas.
Table B shows the average standard error for the major
employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12
recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are
also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of
change for consecutive months is also shown in table B. The
standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.
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
(1950) to take account of subsequent aging of the population,

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 E shows the
standard errors for percentages derived from the survey.

The standard error of the change in an item from one
month to the next month i s more closely related to the standard
error of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the
specific montn-to-month change Itself. Thus, in order to use
the approximations to the standard errors of month-to-month
changes as presented in table D, i t i s first necessary to obtain
the standard error of the monthly level of the item in table C,
and then find the standard error of the month-to-month change in
table D corresponding to this standard error of level. It
should be noted that table D 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 C are acceptable approximations.

ESTABLISHMENT DATA
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in
nonfarm establishments, by geographic location.
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 C shows that
the standard error of 15,000,000 i s about 160,000. Consequently,
the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the. figure which would
have been obtained from a complete count of the number of persons working the given number of hours would have differed by
less than 160,000 from the sample estimate. Using the 160,000

Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out only 1 employment or labor turnover
schedule, which is then used for national, State, and area
estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of
respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques
at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic
comparability of estimates.
Labor Turnover
State agencies nail 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
program in k$ States, the turnover program in kl States.
Labor turnover reports are received from approximately
10,500 establishments in the manufacturing, mining, and communication industries (see table below). The following manufacturing industries are excluded from the labor turnover sample:
Printing, publishing, and allied industries (since April 19^3);
canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods;
women's and misses' outerwear; and fertilizer.

The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number
of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments for the pay period ending nearest the 15th

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 a product 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.

CONCEPTS
Industry Employment
Prior to publication of State and area data for
January 1959, all national, State, and area employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover series were classified in accordance with the following documents: (1) For manufacturing,
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Volume I, Bureau of
the Budget, 19^5, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial
Classification Code, Social Security Board, 19^2. Beginning
with January 1959 (vith an overlap for 1958), State and area
series are classified under ,the revised Standard Industrial
Classification Manual published in 1957- The national industry
statistics will be converted to the Q57 SIC in 1961.
Employment data for all except Federal Government
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
For Federal.Government establishments, current data generally
refer to persons who received pay for the last day of 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 shown separately^ but their number is
excluded from total nonagricultural employment.
COVERAGE
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), 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 empllyed. Persons are not counted as
employed who are laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike
for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to
work during the period.
Employment, Hours, and Earnings
Monthly reports on employment and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours are obtained from approximately
180,000 establishments. The table below shows the approximate
proportion of total employment in each industry division
covered by the group of establishments furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual industries within
the division may vary from the proportions shown.

Employment estimates are periodically compared with
complete counts of employment in the various industries defined
as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indicated by the total counts or benchmarks. The comparison made
for the first 3 months of 1957, the last benchmark adjustment,
resulted in changes amounting to 0.5 percent of all nonagricultural employment, Identical with the extent of the adjustment
to the first quarter 1956 benchmark. The changes were less
than 0.5 percent for three of the eight major industry divisions; under 2 percent for two other divisions; and 3*2, 3.3,
and S.k percent for the remaining three divisions. The manufacturing total was changed by only 0.1 percent for the second
successive year. Within manufacturing, the benchmark and estimate differed by 1.0 percent or less in 39 of the 132 individual industries, kl industries were adjusted by 1.1 to 2.5 percent, and an additional 27 industries differed by 2.6-5.0
percent. One significant cause of differences between the
benchmark and estimate is the change in industrial classification of individual firms, which is usually not reflected in BLS
estimates until they are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other
cause8 are sampling and response errors.

The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled
by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under
State unemployment Insurance laws. These tabulations are prepared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments
exempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of their

Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded from the unemployment insurance lavs are derived from a
variety of other sources.
Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross"Obasis, 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.
The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark quarter
(the first quarter of the year) are compared with the new
benchmark levels, industry by industry. Where revisions are
necessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between the new
benchmark and the preceding one. The new benchmark for each industry is then projected to the current month by use of the
sample trends. Under this procedure, the benchmark is used to
establish the level of employment while the sample is used to
measure the month-to-month changes in the level.
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 nonsupervisoryemployee definitions.
Seasonal Adjustment
Employment series for many industries reflect a regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be measured on the
basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the
change in employment which can be ascribed to usual seasonal
variation, it is possible to clarify the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted employment aggregates are published. These estimates are derived by
the use of factors based on free-hand adjustments of 12-month
moving averages. Seasonal factors are available on request.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earning!. Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross
average hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of
the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes,
labor turnover, and absenteeism.
The new adaptation of.the standard ratio-to-moving
average method presently used for the labor force and weekly
hours series (see pages 3-E and 7-E) will eventually be applied
to the industry employment series. In order to avoid an interim
revision, the shift to the new seasonal adjustment method for
the latter series will be made at the time the series are converted to the 1957 Standard Industrial Classification in 1961.
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.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers or
nonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. When
the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures are
reduced to a weekly basis.
Average Overtime Hours
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.
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
forks on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total
"apensation his holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours
worked that day, no overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hour^ by definition,
the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not-necessarily
move in the same direction from month to month; for example,
premiums may be paid for hours in excess of the straight-time
workday although less than a full week is worked. Diverse
trends on the 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.
Wonsupervisory 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
l^th of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions
of any kind, e.g., old-age and unemployment insurance, group
insurance, withholding tax, bonds, and 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.
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 a!s on the level of his gross income. To
reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed for
two types of income receivers—a worker with no dependents, and
a worker with three dependents. The computations are based on
the gross average weekly earnings for all production and related workers in manufacturing, mining, or contract construction without regard to marital status, family composition, or
total family income.
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 manhours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for
sick leave when pay is received directly from the firm.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the; current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings average for the current
month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 19^7-^9
dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since
the base period.
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.
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime
6-E
pay are computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for the industry group by the sun of total productionworker man-hour8 and one-half of total overtime man-hours.
Prior to January 1956, data were based on the application of
adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as
described in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-5^0).
Both methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid
for at one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as
holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than
time and one-half.
absences, if on the last day of the month the person has W e *
absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated
by the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations^ are terminations of
employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death,
retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company,
and entrance Into the Armed Forces expected to last more than
30 consecutive calendar days.
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 19^7-^9 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.
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.
Seasonal adjustment
Seasonally adjusted average weekly hours for selected
industries were introduced in the July i960 issue of Employment
and Earnings. The new adaptation of the standard ratio-tomoving average method used for the labor force series (see page
3-E) was also used to adjust the weekly hours data for
seasonality.
Labor Turnover
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*
Separations are terminations of employment during the
calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,
layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment Initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorised
7-E
Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll' including both new and
rehlred employees.
Hew hires are temporary or permanent additions to the
employment roll of former employees not recalled by the employer, or persons who have sever before been employed in the
establishment, except for those transferred from other establishments of the company.
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.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing Industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not
comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employment
series for the following reasons: (l) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of
the month; (2) the turnover sample excludes certain industries
(see Coverage, p. 5-E); (3) plants on strike are not included in
the turnover computations beginning with the month the strike
starts through the month the workers return; the influence of
such stoppages is reflected, however, In the employment figures.
STATISTICS FOR STATES A N D AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor
turnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in
cooperation with BLS. Additional industry detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed on the Inside back cover.
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 because of differences in the
timing of benchmark adjustments, slightly varying methods of
computation, and, since January 1959, a different classification system. (See Industrial Classification, p. 5-E.)
For Alaska and Hawaii, satisfactory employment
estimates cannot be derived by subtracting the U.S. totals
without Alaska and Hawaii from the totals including the 2 new
States.
