State and Area Data
Iteriodically, the Bureau adjusts
the industry employment series to a
recent •benchmark to improve their accuracy.
These
adjustments may
also
affect the hours and earnings series
because employment levels are used as
weights. All industry statistics after
March 1959, *^ e present benchmark date,
are therefore subject to revision.
Beginning with November 1961 and
subsequent issues of Bnployment and
Earnings, data in tables B-l through
B-4,
C£l through C-7, and D-l through
D-3 are based on the 1957 Standard
Industrial
Classification
and
a
March 1959 benchmark.
Therefore,
issues of Bnployment and Earnings prior
to November I96I cannot be used in conjunction with national industry data
now shown in sections B, C, and D.
Comparable data for prior periods are
published in Employment and Earnings
Statistics for the United States, 190960, which
may be purchased from the
Superintendent of Documents for $3»
For an individual industry, earlier
data may be obtained upon request to
the Bureau.
When industry
data are
again
adjusted to new benchmarks
another
edition of Employment and
Earnings
Statistics for the United States will
be issued containing the revised data
extending from April 1959 forward to a
current date, as well as the prior historical statistics.

ANNOUNCEMENT
This Annual Supplement issue shows monthly estimates for all national industry series from July to December 1961, as well as the 1961 annual averages. BLS
Bulletin No. 1312 provides users of historical statistics with data from the beginning
of each series through June 1961. Details concerning this bulletin are shown on
page 14-E.
For States and metropolitan areas, annual average data for the period 1959-61
are presented. In addition, the current definitions of all metropolitan areas are given
beginning on page 9-E.
The labor force tables in this supplement, in most cases, include monthly data
for 1961 and annual averages for the 4 most recent years. They are reprinted from
Special Labor Force Report No. 23, which also contains an analysis of the data that
appeared originally in the June 1962 Monthly Labor Review. Comparable monthly
data for 1960 and 1959 may be obtained from prior Annual Supplement issues of Emloyment and Earnings, which reproduced data from Special Labor Force Reports
o. 4 and No. 14.

EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTS
May

1962
V

THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: MAY 1962
The job situation continued to improve more than seasonally in May.
Total nonfarm payroll employment rose 285,000 over the month--60, 000
more than seasonal--to 55. 1 million in May. Durable goods industries, which
usually show little change between April and May, added 54, 000 workers despite
an over-the-month decline in primary metals (16, 000) as steel production was
curtailed. Better-than-seasonal changes in trade and government were recorded
but in construction and soft goods manufacturing, job developments did not meet
seasonal expectations.
The factory workweek lengthened slightly by 0. 1 hour, to 40. 5 hours in
May. This was somewhat less than seasonal but the workweek was still about
three-quarters of an hour higher than last May. These are the highest May hours
figures since 1955, except for May 1959 (which also stood at 40. 5 hours and was
related to the inventory build-up prior to the 1959 steel strike).
Average weekly earnings of factory workers rose 64 cents in May to
$97.20--a new high (57 cents more than the previous record of December 1961)
and were $5. 10 (5 percent) above last May. Hourly earnings rose 1 cent to $2.40,
also a new high, and were 8 cents above a year earlier.
As reported on May 31, unemployment fell about seasonally,by 230,000 to
3. 7 million between April and May. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate
(5. 4 percent in May) was not significantly different from the previous month
(5. 5 percent in April). A year ago the unemployment rate stood at 7. 0 percent-the highest recorded in 1961. Since that time, total unemployment has been
reduced by 1 million, but was still about a quarter of a million higher than in
May I960 when the rate was 5. 1 percent.
State insured unemployment declined by 270, 000 to 1. 6 million in May--a
somewhat better-than-average drop for this time of year.
Total employment, at 68. 2 million in May, was up by 1.4 million over the
previous month1 s level. This compares with a usual seasonal gain of about
1 million. The current month's employment total was a record for the month-1 million above the previous high for May recorded in 1960--and 1-1/2 million
better than last year.
Nonagricultural employment (including the self-employed, unpaid family
workers, and domestics) stood at 62. 8 million in May, its highest level on
record. The 900, 000 over-the-month gain in nonfarm employment was better
than seasonal, reflecting unusually large additions of teenagers to the nonfarm
work force as well as reemployment of adult men.
Since the beginning of the year, both total nonagricultural employment and
nonfarm payroll employment have expanded by about a million after allowance
for seasonal variation*

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

Agricultural employment rose only seasonally in May--up 500, 000 to
5. 4 million. The farm work force, although not significantly different from
its year-ago total, was at its lowest May level on record, reflecting the continuation
of the long-run decline in agriculture.
Some 2. 3 million nonfarm workers were on short workweeks in May
(less than 35 hours a week) because of economic reasons. Their number remained
virtually unchanged over the month, although a slight decline is usual for this
time of year. There were a half-million fewer nonfarm workers holding parttime jobs for economic reasons reported this May than last year but about
the same number as in May 1960.
The total labor for ce> including the Armed Forces,was 1.1 million higher
than last month and now stands at 74. 8 million. The over-the-month gain was
400, 000 better than seasonal and reflected the largest April-May influx of
youngsters into the labor force since 1955. The labor force was 950,000 higher
than in May 1961 (taking into account the effect of introducing I960 Census
population data into the estimation procedures in April 1962).

Nonfarm Payroll Employment
Nonfarm payroll employment continued to expand more than seasonally in
May to 55. 1 million, but at a somewhat slower pace than in recent months. The
large, but somewhat less than seasonal rise in construction accounted for half
of the overall increase in May. Government, services, and durable goods
manufacturing provided most of the remaining increase. Altogether the AprilMay increase was 285, 000, or about 60, 000 more than is usual for this time of year.
The better-than-seasonal advance in May was chiefly due to the rise in
durable goods manufacturing industries. Although jobs in primary metals were
reduced by 16,000 as steel production declined, the total for durable goods
industries rose by 54,000; usually there is no significant change in this sector
from April to May. The gain in durables was accompanied by further moderate
increases in trade and in government (seasonally adjusted), but employment changes
in construction and nondurable goods manufacturing were slightly less than seasonal.
In durable goods manufacturing, the transportation equipment industry
increased employment by 25, 000 (seasonally adjusted) as auto production rose to
the highest levels for the season since 1955. Aside from transportation equipment
and primary metals, the other major metals industries added a total of 33, 000 jobs
over the month. Changes in other durable goods industries were about in line with
seasonal expectations between April and May.
Employment in nondurable goods manufacturing declined by 27, 000 after
allowance for seasonal factors, mainly because the food processing industry failed
to show the usual increase, but also because jobs in apparel were reduced somewhat more than usual after a much smaller than seasonal decline in April. The
rubber industry, on the other hand, showed a slight contraseasonal gain.

Beginning in January 1960, data include Alaska and Hawaii.

While mining, service,and finance employment showed increases of about
the usual amounts over the month, the decline in retail trade was somewhat less
than seasonal, and both the Federal and State and local governments added more
than the expected number of jobs over the month.
Since January 1962, gains in manufacturing employment have accounted for
nearly half of the 900, 000 rise in total nonfarm payroll employment after allowance
for the expected seasonal changes. Durable goods industries have accounted for
nearly four-fifths of the 400, 000 advance in manufacturing since January, with
about one-fourth of the total rise in transportation equipment alone. Employment in
nondurable goods manufacturing increased by about 90, 000 (seasonally adjusted)
since January, with the apparel and rubber industries accounting for the bulk of
the rise.
As of May manufacturing employment was within 200, 000 of its high in
early 1960 before the downturn started.
Most of the seasonally adjusted increase in employment among nonmanufacturing industries since January has been in trade (180,000) and in government
(100, 000). Compared with May I960, government employment was up by 650, 000
and trade by 120, 000. The increase of 100, 000 in construction was from a low
level caused by unusually severe weather in January; the level in May was still
some 75, 000 lower than at the low point of the recession in February last year
and 230, 000 below May I960.
Neither mining nor the transportation-public utilities industries have
evidenced any job strength since the low point of the recession in February 1961,
and were a total of 175, 000 below their May I960 level.
The service and finance-insurance-real estate industries have shown only
slightly better-than-seasonal employment increases since January, compared with
rather substantial gains over the same period in other recent nonrecession years.
However, jobs in these industries were nearly half a million higher than two
years earlier.

1961

The factory workweek lengthened by 0. 1
hour, or somewhat less than seasonally from
April to May, following an unusually sharp
increase over the previous month. At 40. 5 in
May, hours of work were about three-quarters
of an hour higher than a year earlier. Hours
this May were the highest for the month, by at
least a half hour, since 1955 (aside from May
1959 when the pre-steel strike buildup in
activity resulted in a 40. 5 hour workweek).
The more significant industry developments
during the month were the substantially betterthan-seasonal increases in the transportation
equipment and lumbgr^industries, and the
sharp reduction in primary metals due to the
recent cutback in steel output.

1962'

Near record levels of auto output were
mainly responsible for a workweek in transportation equipment of 42. 4 hours in May; this was exceeded only by the postwar
peak for the month of 43. 0 hours in 1955, a year in which nearly 8 million cars




were produced. Hours of work in the lumber industry rose by 0. 9 hour, or about
twice the usual May increase, to 40.4, the highest level for the month since 1947.
In primary metals the workweek was reduced by 0. 7 hour, whereas it usually
shows no change from April to May, Despite the rather sharp decline, hours in
primary metals were 0. 8 above the level of a year earlier.
Aside from steel and autos, the major metals industries recorded reduced
hours of work on a seasonally adjusted basis, after substantially better-thanseasonal increases in April. This pattern was also shown by a number of major
nondurable goods industries. In recent years, however, a May workweek
averaging 39. 6 hours or higher in the soft goods sector was achieved only in 1959
and 1955.
Overtime averaged 2. 8 hours in manufacturing, up 0. 6 hour from a year
earlier. Since data became available in 1956, the only previous May in which overtime reached this level was in 1959.
Average weekly earnings in manufacturing increased by 64 cents in
May to $97. 20, some $5.10 or more than 5 percent higher than a year earlier.
Hourly earnings rose 1 cent to a new high of $2. 40, and were 8 cents above a
year earlier. Hourly pay averaging $2. 57 in the durable goods sector was 9 cents
higher than in May 1961, while the nondurable goods average rose 5 cents over the
year to $2.16 this May.
Characteristics of the Unemployed
Age, Sex and Marital Status. Adult men had a better-than-seasonal
reduction in their unemployment rate between April and May,but the rates for adult
women and teenagers remained unchanged. The seasonally adjusted unemployment
rate for adult men was 4. 4 percent in May, down from 4. 6 percent the previous
month. The jobless rate for adult men hit its recession high in May 1961--6. 2
percent--when 2. 5 million were seeking jobs; the rate has been generally edging
downward since that time. In May, the number of adult men out of work was 1. 8
million, 300, 000 fewer than in April and just about half the jobless total for the
month, about the same proportion as at the prerecession peak (May I960). Most
of the reduction in unemployment among adult men since last May occurred
between September 1961 and February 1962, with little further improvement shown
between February and May of this year.
The number of married men without ijobs fell nearly 300, 000 to 1.1 million
from April to May and was 500, 000 fewer than a year ago. During this period,
their unemployment rate (seasonally adjusted) fell from 4. 9 to 3. 4 percent.
About 100, 000 teenage jobseekers were added to the unemployed between
April and May, representing the first wave of summer labor market entrants, and
bringing the total of young jobseekers to nearly 900,000. Teenagers generally have
a higher unemployment rate than other age groups, primarily because many of them
are seeking their first job or are moving from one job to another. Their unemployment rate in May 1962 was about 14 percent and only slightly less than a year ago.
The number of unemployed women in May was not significantly changed from
April, but was 300,000 below year-ago levels. Their seasonally adjusted rate
of unemployment has come down from 7. 2 percent in May 1961 to 5. 9 percent in
the current month.

Duration of Unemployment. Long-term unemployment (15 weeks or longer)
fell seasonally by 200, 000 over the month to 1. 3 million, but was significantly below
a year ago, when the count stood at 1. 9 million. Very long-term unemployment
(6 months or more) remained virtually unchanged at nearly 700, 000 in May. This
"hard-core" of jobless workers, although a quarter of a million l e s s than in May
1961, continued to persist well above its prerecession level. In May 1962 they
accounted for 18 percent of total unemployment as compared with 12 percent in
May 1960.
An examination of short- and long-term unemployment trends (see following
chart) since 1957 shows that:
1) Short-term unemployment (4 weeks or less) which includes many workers
on seasonal layoff, new labor market entrants, and job changers, has consistently
accounted for between 40 and 50 percent of total unemployment.
2) Long-term unemployment (15 weeks and over) as a percent of total
unemployment has never fully returned to levels prevailing prior to the 1957-58
downturn.
3) Very long-term unemployment (6 months or more) has fluctuated between
10 and 20 percent of total unemployment since 1957. It has been lagging in recovery
since the trough of the recent business cycle.
Industry of Last Job. Unemployment rates in May 1962 were significantly
below year-ago levels in every broad industry grouping. Moreover, recovery in
the hard goods manufacturing sector has brought the jobless rate about down to
prerecession levels, (See table B. ) On the other hand, the combined rate in the
other nonfarm goods-producing industries (mining, construction, and soft goods
manufacturing) and the closely related transportation-public utilities sector was
still slightly above May I960.

Explanatory notes to chart t
Labor force time lost represents the man-hours lost by the unemployed and those on
part time for economic reasons, as a percent of total man-hours potentially available to the
civilian labor force.
Man—hours lost are computed by assuming the unemployed lost 37«5 hours a week, and
that those on part time for economic reasons lost the difference between 37*5 and the time
they actually worked*
Man-hours potentially available (the base for the rate) are obtained by addingt
Man-hours actually worked
Man-hours that oould have been worked by employed persons with a
job but not at work, assuming a 37*5 hour workweek
(3) Man-hours lost*
Unemployment r*te, experienced wage and salary workers, is based on unemployment and
labor foroe figures that exciuie those who never worked, self-employed and unpaid family
workers* All wage and salary workers are represented, inclining those in agriculture,
domestic service, government, and a l l other nonfarm industries*
Unemployment rate, all oivilian workers, is the standard seasonally adjusted rate
of unemployment *
Ifaemployment rate, married men, represents the number of unemployed married men as a
percent of all married men in the oivilian labor foroe (employed plus unemployed)• These
figures exclude married men living apart from their wives. The rates for 1955 and 1956
are based on pre—1957 definitions of unemployment and employment*

Selected Measures of Unemployment and Part-time Employment
Labor force time lost is a measure designed to determine the combined
effect of unemployment and economic part-time employment. This measure, which
relates the time lost through unemployment and involuntary part-time work to the
total hours potentially available to the civilian labor force, typically parallels the
unemployment rate for civilian workers but ranges from 1 to l - l / 2 percentage
points above it. The percentage of potentially available time lost to the civilian
labor force was 6. 5 percent in May (seasonally adjusted), unchanged over the
month but down from 6. 9 percent in January. A factor preventing a decline in
the rate over the month was the contra seasonal increase in the number of nonfarm
workers on part time for economic reasons. Labor force time lost has declined
1. 9 percentage points since May 1961, the recession high for this measure, but is
slightly above-May 1960 (6. 3 percent).
The unemployment rate for experienced wage and salary workers, at 5.4
percent, was also unchanged over the month but down from the January rate of
5. 8 percent. This figure tends to be slightly higher than the total unemployment
rate since self-employed and unpaid family workers, who have extremely low
unemployment rates, are removed from the computations. The unemployment
rate for married men, always much lower than for other workers, declined over
the month to 3. 4 percent from April's rate of 3. 7 percent. All of these measures,
although at different levels, tend to move together in response to changes in
economic conditions.
Insured Unemployment
Insured unemployment under regular State programs dropped somewhat more
than seasonally between April and May, falling by 270, 000 to 1. 6 million.
An estimated 150,000 claimants exhausted their rights to State benefits in
May, as compared with 163, 000 in April and 249, 000 in May of last year.
The number of claimants under the Temporary Extended Unemployment
Compensation program continued to drop sharply--falling from 234, 000 in April
to 132,000. Benefits are now limited to persons in claimant status under the
TEC program prior to April 1.
All States reported over-the-month declines in the number of insured
jobless. The largest reductions were 23, 000 in California and 22, 000 in Michigan.
Sizable declines were also reported by Illinois (17,000), Minnesota and Ohio
(16,000 each), and Pennsylvania (14, 000). Decreases for the most part reflected
stepped-up activity in construction, and hiring in services and in auto plants.
The insured unemployment rate (not seasonally adjusted) fell to 4. 0 percent
in May from 4. 6 percent a month earlier with all States reporting reductions. The
rate in May 1961 was 5. 9 percent. The highest rates in May 1962 were 11.9 percent
in Alaska (down from 17. 4 percent in April), 6. 6 percent in Maine, and 6. 3 percent
in West Virginia. Rates below 2. 0 percent were reported by the District of Columbia,
Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Virginia. All States except Hawaii reported
lower rates than in May of last year.

Full- and Part-time Employment
In May there were 49.7 million nonfarm workers on full-time schedules
(35 hours or more a week) and another 1.4 million who were absent because of
illness, bad weather, etc. , but who probably work full time in most weeks. The
total number of persons holding full-time jobs was 1. 4 million above a year ago.
Most of the over-the-year improvement in full-time work took place among men,
since relatively few women had been cut back from full to part time during the
down-swing of the business cycle.
The number of nonfarm workers working less than 35 hours a week because
of economic reasons (2. 3 million in May) remained virtually unchanged over the
month, contrary to usual seasonal patterns for this time of the year. This group
was more than a half-million below its year-ago level and approximated its prerecession level (May I960), but continued to be slightly higher than in the 1956-57
period. Workers on part time because they could not find full-time jobs were
350, 000 below May 1961. Those full-time jobholders whose hours had been cut
to less than 35 a week because of economic reasons (slack work, material shortages,
etc.) were down by 200, 000 over the year.
As usual, the great majority on part time worked short hours voluntarily
or because of personal circumstances--7« 4 out of 9. 7 million in May 1962.

during the survey week, and those who (b) usually work full time but

(bad weather, illness, holidays, etc*)*
Labor Force
The total labor force^including the Armed Forces, at 74. 8 million in May,
was 1.1 million higher than in April. The month-to-month gain was about 400, 000
more than seasonal, reflecting an unusually large influx of youngsters into
the labor market as summer vacation time approached. Nearly 700, 000 more boys
and girls (14-19 years of age) either found jobs or were looking for work between
April and May--some 300, 000 more than seasonal.
The civilian labor force at 71. 9 million in May 1962 was about 600, 000
above year-ago levels (taking into account the effect of introducing the I960
Census population data into the estimation procedures in April 1962). During this
12-month span, the Armed Forces also expanded by about 350,000 persons. The
total labor force, including the Armed Forces, was about 950,000 higher than in
May 1961.
There were significant increases in the rates of labor force participation by
teenagers as compared with April 1962 and May 1961. This year's May influx of
youngsters into the labor force was the largest since 1955. All age-sex groups
between 14-19 years of age had higher participation rates in May 1962 than in May
1961.
When coupled with the year-to-year net increase of about 700, 000 in the
teenage population, the increased participation rates resulted in some 300,000
more teenagers entering the labor force than would have been expected on the
basis of their May 1961 rates of participation.

*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.
2Not 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 noninstitutional 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.
^Figures for periods prior to April 1962 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of i960
Census data into the estimation procedure. The change primarily affected the labor force and employment totals, which were
reduced by about 200,000. The unemployment totals vere virtually unchanged.

INTRODUCTION

hours during the survey week. In the figures based on establishment records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each time
their names appear on payrolls.

The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
two major sources: (l) household interviews and (2) payroll
reports from employers.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from
a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted
each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor
force, i.e., the total number of persons 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 work, and duration
of unemployment. The information is collected by trained interviewers 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.

Comparability of the household interview data with other series

The figures are based on payroll reports from a
sample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 million
nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all
workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
Relation between the household and payroll series
The household and payroll data supplement one another,
each providing significant types of information that the other
cannot suitably supply. Ibpulation characteristics, for
example, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences in definition and coverage, sources of
information, methods of collection, and estimating procedures.
Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasons
for discrepancies. The factors which have a differential effect
on levels and trends of the two series are described below:

•oyment insurance data. The unemployed total
from the household survey includes all persons who did not work
at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were
waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been
laid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for
unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance
claims, prepared by the Bureau of Employment Security of the
Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their
benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local
government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work,
nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment
used in the household survey. For example, persons with a job
but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the
week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, but
are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agri culture. The principal differences in coverage are the inusion of persons under 14 in the Agricultural Marketing
clus
Service (AMS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders who
are counted more than once if they worked on more than one farm
during the reporting period. There are also wide differences in
sampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods, which
cannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences in
level and trend of the two series.

Coverage. The household survey definition
of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and other private household workers), self-employed
persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during
the survey week in family-operated enterprises. Qnployment in
both farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of
nonfarm establishments.
Multiple jobholding. The household approach
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. Bnployed 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 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 with State agencies. The payroll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours,
average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the
Nation, States, and metropolitan areas.

_ 644059 O - 62 - 12

Unpai<,d absences from jobs. The household
survey includes among
nig 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

Its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The ma-'
jor reason for lack of comparability is different treatment of
business units considered parts of an establishment, such as
'central administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in the
industrial classification of establishments due to different
reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are also differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the
Census of Business excludes professional services, transportation companies, and financial establishments, while these are
included in BLS statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce
and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establishment statistics in the units considered integral parts of an
establishment and in industrial classification. In addition,
CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, interstate railroads, and government.
Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs.
Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the Unemployment Insurance programs. All workers in certain activities,
such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, are
excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are
also excluded in 32 States. In general, these are establishments with less than four employees.

LABOR FORCE DATA
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics
of employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force data
are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in its
Current Population Survey (CPS). (A detailed description of
this survey appears in Concepts and Msthods Used in the Current
Employment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau of
the Census, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Ibpulation
Reports, Series B-23, No. 5. This report is available from BLS
on request.)
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted
with a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the
civilian noninstitutional population 1^ years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household 14 years of age
and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the
calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15th
of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under Ik years of
age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are
excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown in
this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and '*total labor force, " are obtained from the Department of Defense.
The sample for CFS is spread over 333 areas comprising 6hl counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50
States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed interviews are obtained each month from about 35,000 households.
There are about 1,500 additional sample households from which
information should be collected but is not because the occupants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporarily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about h percent.
Bart of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan
provides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to be
common from one month to the next, and one-half to be common
with the same month a year ago.

Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not
living on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratory
farm workers).
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of
work around the house (such as own home housework, and painting
or repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.
Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did not
work at all during the survey week and were looking for work,
regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did
not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job
from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not
in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed
no work was available in their line of work or in the community.
Persons in this latter category will usually be residents of a
community in which there are only a few dominant industries
which were shut down during the survey week. Not included in
this category are persons who say they were not looking for work
because they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any
way.
The Unemployment Rate represents the number unemployed
as a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of the
employed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed for
groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital
status, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupation
groups, the labor force base for the unemployment rate also represents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latter
classified according to industry and occupation of their latest
full-time civilian job.
Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time
(through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work or
would have been looking for work except for temporary illness,
or belief that no work was available in their line of work or in
the community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment
represents the number of full weeks since the termination of
their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic
mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total, of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance
with the criteria described above. The "total labor force" also
includes members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the
United States or abroad.
Not in Labor Force includes all civilians Ik years and
over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These
persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework, " "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes
for the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to
work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as
unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work
(less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor
force.
Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to the
job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are
classified in the job at which they worked the greatest number
of hours during the survey week. The occupation and industry
groups used in data derived from the CBS household interviews
are defined as in the i960 Census of Population. Information on
the detailed categories included in these groups is available
upon request.

CONCEPTS
Employed Parsons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, or
in their own business or profession, or on their own farm, or
who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in a
business operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those
who were not working or looking for work but who had jobs or
businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, or
because they were taking time off for various other reasons,
whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time
off.




Each employed person is counted only once. Those who
held more than one job are counted in the job at which they
worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week.

The industrial classification system used in the Census
of Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhat
from that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by industry. Employment levels by industry from the household survey,
although useful for many analytical purposes, are not published
in order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ from
the payroll series because of differences in classification,
sampling variability, and other reasons. The industry figures
from the household survey are used as a base for published
distributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other

2-E

characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, and
occupation.

mortality, and migration-between the United States and other
countries.

The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and
salary workers, " subdivided into private and government workers,
"self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage and
salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or pay
in kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit.
Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in
their own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15
hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a
member of the household to whom they are related by blood or
marriage*

3« Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure is
used which takes account of net changes from the previous month
for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the
sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces
the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes
but also of the levels for most items.

Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example, a person
who normally works kO hours a week but who was off on the
Veterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even
though he was paid for the holiday.

Reliability of the Estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that might occur by chance because
only a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are
about two out of three that an estimate from the sample would
differ from a complete census by less than the standard error.
The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be
less than twice the standard error.

For persons working in more than one job, the figures
relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the
week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job.
Parsons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey
week are designated as working "full time"; persons who worked
between 1 and 3^ hours are designated as working "part time."
Rart-time workers are classified by their usual status at their
present job (either full time or part time) and by their reason
for working part time during the survey week (economic or other
reasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material
shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination
of job during the week, and inability to find full-time work.
"Other reasons" include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for
full-time work and full-time worker only during peak season.

Table A shows the average standard error for the major
employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12
recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are
also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of
change for consecutive months is also shown in table A. The
standard errors of level shown in table A are acceptable approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.

ESTIMATING METHODS

Average standard error o f —

The estimating procedure is essentially one of using
sample results to obtain percentages of the population in a
given category. The published estimates are then obtained by
multiplying these percentage distributions by independent estimates of the population. The principal steps involved are shown
below. Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of the
results for a given month become available simultaneously and
are based on returns from the entire panel of respondents.
There are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark
data on labor force, employment, or unemployment. Therefore,
revisions of the historical data are not an inherent feature of
this statistical program.

1. Koninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to
account for occupied sample households for which no information
was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or
unavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six
groups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence
categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5
percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance,
from that of the 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:

The figures presented in table B are to be used for
other characteristics and are approximations of the standard
errors of all such characteristics. They should be interpreted
as providing an indication of the order of magnitude of the
standard errors rather than as the precise standard error for
any specific item.

a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the
known i960 Census data on the color-residence distribution of
the population. This step takes into account the differences
existing at the time of the i960 Census between the colorresidence distribution for the Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step,
the sample proportions are weighted by independent current estimates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimates
are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data
(i960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population,




Labor force and total employment
Agriculture
Nonagricultural employment
Unemployment

The standard error of the change in an item from one
month to the next month is more closely related to the standard
error of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the
specific month-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to use
the approximations to the standard errors of month-to-month
changes as presented in table C, it is first necessary to obtain
the standard error of the monthly level of the item in table B,
and then find the standard error of the 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 last year, the standard errors of level
shown in table B are acceptable approximations.

Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out only one employment or labor turnover
schedule, which is then used for national, State, and area
estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of
respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques
at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic
comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare State and area
series and then send the data to the BLS for use in preparing
the national series. The BLS and the Bureau of Employment
Security jointly finance the current employment statistics program in kh States, the turnover program in k2 States.

Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total
number of persons working a specific number of hours, as
15,000,000, an increase of 500,000 over the previous month.
Linear interpolation in the first column of table B shows that
the standard error of 15,000,000 is about 160,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the sample
estimate differs by less than 160,000 from the figure which
would have been obtained from a complete count of the number
of persons working the given number of hours. Using the
160,000 as the standard error of the monthly level in table C,
it may be seen that the standard error of the 500,000 increase
is about 135,000.
Table C.

I&yroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in
nonfarm establishments, by industry and geographic location.

Shuttle Schedules
The Form BLS 790 is used to collect employment, payroll, and man-hours data, and Form DL 1219 or BLS 1219 for labor
turnover data. These schedules are of the "shuttle" type, with
space for each month of the calendar year. The schedule is returned to the respondent each month by the collecting agency so
that the next month's data can be entered. This procedure
assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting, since
the respondent can see the figures he has reported for previous
months.

Standard error of estimates of
month-to-month change
(in thousands)

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

INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION
Establishments are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected
each year on an industry class supplement to the monthly 790 or
1219 report. In the case of an establishment making more than
one product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire
employment of the establishment is included under the industry
indicated by the most important product or activity.

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

All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover series are classified in accordance
with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau of
the Budget, 1957. Since many of the published industry series
represent combinations of SIC industries, the BLS has prepared a
Guide to Employment Statistics of BLS, 1961 which specifies the
SIC code or codes covered by each industry title listed in
Employment and Earnings. In addition, the Guide provides industry definitions and lists the beginning date of each series.
The Guide is available free upon request.

Prior to January 1959, all national, State, and area
series were classified in accordance with the following documents: (l) For manufacturing, Standard Industrial Classification
Manual, Volume I, Bureau of the Budget, 19^5, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial Classification Code, Social Security
Board, 19^2. State and area series were converted to the 1957
SIC beginning in January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958) and
national industry statistics were converted in the latter part of
1961 (with an overlap from 1958 to the month of conversion).
Consequently, back issues of Employment and Earnings will not
provide earlier data on a comparable basis. However, for many
industries, both BLS and the cooperating State agencies have constructed series for years prior to 1958 which are comparable with
data starting with 1958 and based on the 1957 SIC. National data
for earlier periods comparable with those currently published are
available in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the

U-E

paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the
pay period and are unemployed or onjjitrike during the rest of the
period, are counted as employed. Not counted as employed are persons who are laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike for' the
entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during
the period.

Bnployment, Hours, and Earnings

Benchmark Adjustments

Reports on employment and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours are collected monthly from sample establishments in nonagricultural industries. The table below shows the
approximate proportion of total employment in each industry
division covered by the group of establishments furnishing
monthly employment data. The coverage for individual industries
within the division may vary from the proportions shown.

Qnployment estimates are periodically compared with
complete counts of employment in the various industries defined
as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indicated by the total counts or- "benchmarks•" The industry
employment estimates are currently projected from March 1959
benchmarks. After allowing for the effect of shifts in products or activities resulting from conversion to the 1957
Standard Industrial Classification, and the changes in level
resulting from improved benchmark sources for employment not
covered by the social insurance systems, meaningful quantitative
comparisons can be made between estimates for March 1959 projected from the last previous benchmarks (1957) and the actual
March 1959 benchmark levels. This comparison reveals a difference of 0.6 percent for total nonagricultural employment, practically identical with the extent of the adjustment in March
1957, the last benchmark adjustment prior to the shift in
classification systems. The differences were less than 1.0 percent for four of the eight major industry divisions; under 2
percent for two other divisions; and 3.8 and k.9 percent for the
remaining two divisions.

CONCEPTS

One significant cause of differences between benchmark
and estimate is the change in industrial classification of individual establishments, which is usually not reflected in BLS
estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other
causes are sampling and response errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled
by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under
State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are prepared under Bureau of ^Employment Security direction. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the Bureau of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments
exempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of their
small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded
from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a variety
of other sources. Among improvements introduced in 1961, when
the industry statistics were converted to the 1957 Standard
Industrial Classification Manual, was the development of new and
better sources of benchmark data for employment either outside
the social insurance system or covered by it only on a voluntary
basis.
The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with the new benchmark levels, industry by industry.
Where revisions are necessary, the monthly seriet of estimates
are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one.
The new benchmark for each industry is then carried forward progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.
Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment while the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers or
nonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. When
the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures are
reduced to a weekly basis.

Industry Employment
Employment data for all except the Federal Government
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period ending nearest the l£th of the month.
For Federal Government establishments, employment fifrures 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 durinp the month.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in
households. Salaried officers of corporations are included,
Government employment covers only civilian employeesj Federal
military personnel are excluded from total nona^icultural
employment.

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.
Nonsupervisory Employees include employees (not above
the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical
workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen,
and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose services are closely associated with those of the employees listed.

Railroad Hours and Earnings

production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received
pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the
month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind,
e.g., for old-age and unemployment insurance, group insurance,
withholding tax, bonds, or union 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.

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 ^ n employees who received pay during the month, except
executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC group I ) . Gross
average hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensation by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained
by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a
weekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average
weekly hours by average hourly earnings.

Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, during
the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for production, construction, and nonsupervisory workers. The man-hours
include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave
when pay is received directly from the firm.

Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars
are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security and
income taxes from gross weekly earnings. The amount of income
tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by
the worker, as well as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed for a
worker with no dependents, and a worker with three dependents.
The computations are based on the gross average weekly earnings
for all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industry
division without regard to marital status, family composition,
or total family income.

Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of production and related workers during the pay period ending nearest the
15th of the month. Overtime hours are those for which premiums
were paid because the hours were in excess of the number of hours
of either the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and
holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates were paid.
Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or
other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings

"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the current
month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 1957-59
dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since
the base period.

Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, reflecting not only
changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates, but also such
variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work,
and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive plan.
Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and low-paid work
and changes in workers1 earnings in individual establishments
also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups
and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings
for individual industries.

Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime pay
are computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for
the industry group by the sum of total production-worker manhours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to
January 1956, these data were based on the application of adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described
in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-51*-O). Both
methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No adjustment
is made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday
work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and
one-half.

Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period
of time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit
of work or time. The earnings series, however, does not measure
the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer since
the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive
items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid
by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under
the production-worker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.

Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Rayrolls and Man-Hours

Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying
average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore,
weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross average
hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and absenteeism.

The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours
are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1957-59 period. The man-hour aggregates
are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker
employment, and the payroll aggregates are the -product of gross
average weekly earnings and production-worker employment.

Average Weekly Hours

Labor Turnover

The workweek information relates to the average hours
for which pay was received, and is different from standard or
scheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover,
part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to be
lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component
industries.

Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employment status with respect to
individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a
calendar month, is divided into two broad types: Accessions
(new hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees, whether
full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive,
office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers.
Transfers to another establishment of the company are included,
beginning with January 1959.

Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross
average weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours and for
which premium payments were made. If an employee worked on a paid
, holiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensation his
holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no
overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
- gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in
the same direction, from month-to-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 at the industrygroup level may also be caused by a marked change in gross hours
for a component industry where little or no overtime was worked
in both the previous and current months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have
the same influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.




Accessions are the total number of permanent and tern-,
porary additions to the employment roll, including both new and
rehired employees.
New hires are temporary or permanent additions to the
employment roll of persons who have never before been employed in
the establishment (except employees transferring from another
establishment of the same company) or of former employees not recalled by the employer.
Other accessions, which are not published separately
but are included in total accessions, are all additions to the

6-E

employment roll which are not classified as new hires including
transfers from another establishment of the company.

STATISTICS FOR STATES A N D AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor
turnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation With BLS. The area statistics relate to metropolitan
areas, as "-defined in the Annual Supplement Issue of Employment
and Earnings. Additional industry detail may be' obtained from
the State agencies listed on the inside back cover of each issue.
These statistics are based on the same establishment reports used
by BIS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sum
of the State figures may differ slightly from the equivalent
official U.S. totals on a national basis, because some States
have more recent benchmarks than others and because of the
effects of differing industrial and geographic stratification.

Separations are terminations of employment during the
calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,
layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized
absences, if on the last day of the month the person has been
absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by
the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations of employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and
entrance into the .Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 consecutive calendar days.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau*s employment series
for the. following reasons: (l) Accessions and separations are
computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports
refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month; and
(2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates
if the work stoppage extends through the report period.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Several major technical improvements were achieved in
1961, when the industry statistics were converted to the 1957
Standard Industrial Classification Manual» The benchmark tabulations obtained from State unemployment insurance agencies (see
section on benchmark adjustments), which formerly gave employment totals by industry, were tabulated to give separate totals
by size of establishment within industries for the first quarter
of each year beginning with 1959. Intensive analysis revealed
that significant improvements could be made for many of the
hours and earnings series if the employment estimates for certain industries were stratified by size of establishment and/or
by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisoryworker data were used in weighting the hours and earnings into
broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating
cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the term
is used in the summary of computational methods on page 8-E, may
be an industry size and/or regional stratum or it may be an
entire industry or combination of industries. Further analysis
will be made, as resources permit, to determine whether stratification will improve the estimates of labor turnover rates.
More advanced automatic electronic data-processing
equipment has also contributed to improving the program. The
advanced equipment, with its greater capacity, has made feasible
the increased number of computations required by the introduction of size cells, and facilitates closer quality control of
data input and output.

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring
seasonal movement which can be measured on the basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change which can be
ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observe
the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor force and establishment
data are published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these series is
a new adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method,
with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to take account
of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description and illustration of the basic method was published in the August i960
Monthly Labor Review.
The seasonally adjusted series on weekly hours and labor
turnover rates for industry groupings are computed by applying
factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, but seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees and production workers by industry divisions are obtained by summing the
seasonally adjusted data which are published for component industries. The factors currently in use are available upon request.
In the case of. unemployment, data for four age-sex
groups (male and female unemployed workers under age 20, and age
20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and
are then added to give a seasonally adjusted total unemployment
figure. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived
by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment
(the sum of the four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by
the figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force.
Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of the labor
force to be applied to data for 1961 and later are provided in
the table below, since seasonally adjusted labor force series,
except for the unemployment rates, are not published regularly in
Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data
are based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors
are revised in the light of the pattern revealed by subsequent
data. Data through December 1961 were used in deriving the current factors applicable to 1961-62. Revisions will be made annually as each additional year's data become available.
Seasonal adjustment factors for the labor force and major
components, to be used for the period 1961-62

The general procedures used for estimating industry
employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics .are
described in the table on page 8-E. Details are given in the
technical notes on Measurement of Hnrployment, Hours, and
Earnings in Nbnagricultural Industries and Measurement of
Labor Turnover, which are available upon request.

Reliability of Preliminary Estimates
For the most recent months, national estimates of
employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and so footnoted in the tables. These particular figures are based on
less than the full sample and consequently subject to revision
when all of the reports in the sample have been received.
Studies of these revisions in past data indicate that they have
been relatively small for employment and even smaller for hours
and earnings. Because of the change in the industrial classification system and in the estimating methods described above,
it will not be possible to determine the magnitude of the error
in preliminary estimates published for 1961 and subsequent
periods, until sufficient experience has been accumulated.
