SUMMARY EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT
DEVELOPMENTS, MAY 1966
The Nation1 s job situation was characterized by mixed trends in May. Total
unemployment rose 140,000 to 2. 9 million, moving the jobless rate up to 4. 0 percent
from 3. 7 percent in April. The increase was concentrated among women and younger
workers. On the other hand, the demand for adult male workers continued very
strong, and the rate of unemployment for workers covered by unemployment insurance
reached a new low.
Nonfarm payroll employment showed a larger-than-seasonal increase, with
continued gains in manufacturing. Total employment, however, failed to show the
expected seasonal rise, mainly because bad weather held down the usual May increase
in agriculture.
Unemployment
Unemployment among men aged 25 and over declined seasonally by 150, 000 to
740, 000o Their jobless rate was unchanged at 2. 1 percent, its lowest level since
August 1953. The rate for married men, at 1. 8 percent, was below 2 percent for the
sixth consecutive month.
The unemployment rate for teenagers rose to 13. 4 percent in May as the result
of a larger than expected rise among 14 to 17 year-olds who were still in school. A
great many of these young workers were seeking temporary summer jobs. The number
of unemployed adult women rose slightly to 880, 000, moving their jobless rate up
from 30 6 percent in April to 4. 0 percent in May.
Altogether, 640, 000, or one-fifth of the 2. 9 million persons unemployed in May,
were seeking part-time jobs, including 420,000 teenagers, 150,000 women, and only
70, 000 adult men.
The number unemployed 15 weeks or longer fell by nearly 200,000 over the
month to 600, 000, a greater than seasonal decline. On a seasonally adjusted basis,
the long-term unemployed accounted for one-sixth of the jobless total and 0. 7 percent
of the civilian labor force, the lowest in ten years. The short-term unemployed
(under 5 weeks) accounted for nearly three-fifths of the total in May.
Insured Unemployment
State insured unemployment declined a little more than seasonally between midApril and mid-May to 882, 000. This was a postwar low for May and the lowest for
any month since October 1956. Except for Florida, where the winter tourist season
ended, and Georgia, all States showed over-the-month declines. The largest decreases
occurred in New York (29,000) and California (14,000).
The unadjusted rate of insured joblessness dropped from 2. 4 to 2. 0 percent over
the month. On an adjusted basis, the May rate was 2. 1 percent, the lowest for any
month since the start of this series in January 1949. The highest rates were 9. 2
percent in Alaska (down from 14, 0 in April), 5. 6 in Puerto Rico, 3. 9 in California,
and 3. 7 in Nevada0 In 20 States, including Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Texas,
and Wisconsin, the rates were less than 1. 5 percent.

Employment
Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 575,000 in May (nearly 170,000 more than
seasonally) to 63. 1 million. Continued job strength was evident in manufacturing and
government; however, in trade, miscellaneous services, transportation, and finance,
job gains were in line with the seasonal expectations. Mining employment rose 40, 000
as striking workers returned to payrolls. The employment advance in contract construction (160, 000) was less than seasonal because of strike activity.
Manufacturing employment increased by approximately 120,000 to 18. 8 million
in May. The gain was 60, 000 greater than the expected pickupo Most of the advance
was concentrated in the hard-goods industries, particularly in electrical equipment
and machinery.
The rate of advance in nonfarm employment during the last 2 months has tapered
off from the rapid expansion of the first quarter.
The factory workweek averaged 41. 5 hours in May, but after seasonal adjustment
was down marginally from the very high level of the last 4 months. Hours in the
durable goods industries continued at a high level but were down slightly over the month
(seasonally adjusted) because of workweek reductions in the auto industry. Included
in the average workweek were 4. 0 hours of overtime, the highest figure for May since
the series began in 1956.
Average hourly earnings of factory workers were unchanged at $2. 70 in May;
however, with the lengthening of the factory workweek, average weekly earnings rose
to a new high of $112. 05. Weekly earnings, pushed by a lengthened workweek and a
3. 4 percent advance in hourly earnings, were up 40 2 percent over the year. Hourly
earnings were up 3. 4 percent from May 1965O
Total employment increased 650, 000 to 73. 8 million in May. The rise in
agricultural employment was only 100, 000--400, 000 less than expected for this time
of year--as unfavorable weather delayed normal farm activity. Nonagricultural
employment was up by 600, 000, close to the expected seasonal change.
Changes from 1965
Despite some adverse developments in May, virtually all measures of employment and unemployment continued to show significant improvement from a year earlier.
Underscoring-the progress of the past year, nonfarm payroll employment was up by




3o 1 million from May 1965. The largest year-to-year gains were in manufacturing
(lo 1 million), government (770,000), trade (475,000), and miscellaneous services
(440,000).
Both full-time and voluntary part-time employment rose sharply over the year,
while the number on short workweeks for economic reasons declined by 300, 000. At
1. 5 million, this group of underemployed workers was the smallest for any May since
the early 19501 s0
Unemployment was down by 400, 000 over the year with half the decline among
those out of work 15 weeks or longer. Jobless rates were down from May 1965 for
men, women, and 18-19 year-olds and for workers in most nonfarm occupation and
industry groups. The improvement was especially notable for married men, fulltime workers, and skilled and semiskilled blue-collar workers.
Both white and nonwhite workers have had substantially less unemployment
during the first 5 months of 1966 as compared with the same period a year ago.
However, the nonwhite rate (7 percent) continued double the white rate.




TRENDS IN FULL- AND PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT

by Susan S. Holland*
In the past 3 years employment has expanded more rapidly than at any time since
"World War II. Sharp employment gains and unemployment reductions among full-time
workers and a decline in the number of workers on part time for economic reasons
reflect fuller utilization of the Nation1 s labor supply. At the same time, however,
these developments have reduced the supply of adult men available to fill job openings,
and scattered labor shortages have emerged. In this situation, attention has been
focused on the potential labor resources in the voluntary part-time work force.
Theoretically, employers could adapt to a tightening job market by hiring persons
who normally prefer to work part time. However, as of the first quarter of 1966,
most of the evidence indicated that this had not taken place. Part-time employment
has continued to rise, but the growth since 1963 has been about in line with the uptrend
of the past decade0 The demand for labor has intensified sharply since the late summer
of 1965, but this was not accompanied by a speedup in the growth rate of voluntary parttime employment. Moreover, part-time workers have not made significant inroads
into the critical manufacturing and construction industries. Since 1963, most of the
increase in part-time employment has taken place among teenagers in trade and service activities.
On the other hand, there is no evidence that part-time workers have been drawn
into the full-time labor force. Nor is there any conclusive evidence that full-time jobs
have been rescheduled to be filled by part-time workerso It appears that employers
have been meeting their needs for full-time labor by hiring the unemployed and new
labor force entrants and by extending the workweeks of part-time workers who wanted
full-time work.
These are the major conclusions of a review of full-time and part-time employment trends during the current economic expansion The more important specific
findings of this study are summarized below*
1.
The uptrend in full-time employment accelerated very sharply from 1963 to
1966.
Over this 3-year period the number of workers employed full time in nonfarm
industries rose by 4. 9 million, l as contrasted with an increase of only 2. 4 million
during the 7-year period from 1956 to 1963. Full-time employment has been expanding
at an annual rate of more than 3 percent since 1963, whereas from 1956 to 1963 it rose
at an annual rate of less than 1 percent.
2.
Voluntary part-time employment continued to advance from 1963 to 1966,
expanding by 1. 4 milliono The annual growth rate was 6 percent during the past 3
years, only slightly more than the annual rate of 5 percent in the 1956-63 period.
Part-time employment expanded rapidly between the first quarters of 1965 and 1966.
However, on a seasonally adjusted basis, most of the increase took place in the early
summer of 1965; since then the growth has been moderate.
3C
The number of nonfarm workers restricted to short workweeks for economic
reasons dropped by one-fourth in the last three years and is currently at the lowest

level on record. 2 This reduction, which added about half a million workers to fulltime employment, was an important source of additional labor input,
4. The spurt in full-time employment since 1963 has resulted in a very sharp
cut in the number of unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs--from 4. 1 million in
early 1963 to 2. 5 million in 1966. The jobless rate (not seasonally adjusted) fell
from 6O 6 to 4.0 percent, In contrast, the number of unemployed persons seeking
part-time work remained virtually unchanged in the 1963-66 period,, However, the
increase in part-time employment has been sufficient to reduce slightly the unemployment rate for part-time workers in the past year.

These and other findings a r e developed more fully in the following sections.
However, at this point, it is appropriate to explain briefly the m e a s u r e m e n t of fulland part-time work. All persons 3who work 35 hours or more during the survey week
are defined as full-time workers,, Also included in the full-time group a r e w o r k e r s
who a r e scheduled for full-time but who work l e s s than 35 hours for temporary
r e a s o n s , such as legal holidays, bad weather, or brief illness. P a r t - t i m e workers
are persons who a r e scheduled to work 1-34 hours during the survey week. The
l a r g e s t group of part-time w o r k e r s a r e those regularly working l e s s than 3 5 hours
by choice. The other group of p a r t - t i m e w o r k e r s a r e those who work l e s s than 35
hours but desire full-time employment. The persons on p a r t - t i m e workweeks for

P e r s o n s with a job, but not at work, will be indicated separately in the tables

work as they would like to have 0
All of the 1956-66 employment i n c r e a s e - - b o t h full- and p a r t - t i m e - - t o o k place
in the nonfarm industries. F a r m jobs declined steadily (by a total of 2 million) during
the decade, and almost all of the drop was among full-time w o r k e r s . This article will
focus on changes in full- and p a r t - t i m e work in the nonfarm sector o
F u l l - T i m e Workers
A major factor in the recent employment upsurge has been a strong acceleration
in full-time employment. F r o m the mid-1950 1 s to the early I960 1 s i n c r e a s e s in fulltime employment were small and i r r e g u l a r . Two r e c e s s i o n s in this period actually
reduced the number of full-time w o r k e r s temporarily. The average annual growth in
full-time employment between 1956 and 1963 was only 350,000 or 0.7 percent (table 1 ) .
In contrast, full-time employment has climbed by almost 5 million in the past
3 y e a r s - - t w i c e the gain recorded in the entire 1956-63 period. Moreover, since 1963
the annual gain in full-time employment has averaged 1. 6 million or 3 percent. Clearly
then, the key factor in the 1963-66 employment r i s e has been the resurgence in fulltime j o b s . Full-time employment grew at a much faster rate in the past 3 y e a r s than
in any other expansionary period since 1955. The tabulation below is based on a
monthly compound i n t e r e s t formula and, therefore, provides a growth rate slightly
different from that obtained by calculating annual percent changes. Nevertheless, it
is obvious that full-time employment has risen more rapidly since April 1963 than it
did either in the 1955-57 or the 1959-60 expansions.

Age and Sex0 The recent gains in full-time employment were distributed widely
among the various age-sex groupso However, the increase for adult men, nearly 2O 5
million, accounted for half of the 1963-66 pickup* In fact, full-time employment rose
more than total employment for adult meno This was possible because of the 3 50, 000
drop in the number of adult men on economic part time--almost all of whom moved
into full-time employment. While men in all age groups benefited from the recent
spurt in full-time, the largest proportionate increase took place among 20-24 yearolds. For these young men, full-time employment rose by 600, 000 or 20 percent.
There was also a small but important rise in full-time employment at the other end
of the age scaleo Between 1957 and 1963, the number of males age 65 and over on
full-time schedules moved steadily downward, but the recent demand for full-time
workers has been strong enough to reverse this long-term decline.
Adult women and teenagers also made substantial gains in full-time employment
from 1963 to 1966O The increase for women, which totaled 2 million, was evident in
every major age group* However, virtually all of the full-time job gain for teenagers
(500, 000) took place among 18-19 year-olds. Less than 10 percent of the employed
14-17 year-olds are full-time workers.

Industry and Occupation. The accelerated growth in full-time employment sine
1963 can be attributed mainly to the stronger demand for labor in the goods-producing
industries. Construction and manufacturing contributed most of the additional emplo
ment increase in the past 3 years; these are industries where full-time workers
predominate.
Full-time employment is most concentrated in occupations requiring the higher
education and skill. Approximately 90 percent of all professional and managerial
employees work full time, as do the great majority of skilled craftsmen. Nearly 9 o
of 10 semiskilled operatives are also full-time workers. A major part of the additio
employment pickup in the last 3 years has taken place among skilled craftsmen and
semiskilled operatives; the vast majority of these new jobs were full-time.
Voluntary Part-Time Workers
The number of persons in nonagricultural industries working less than 3 5 hour
by choice rose from 5 million in 1956 to 7 million in 1963. The annual gain in this
period averaged 300, 000 (almost as large as the 350, 000 increase for full-time wort
The year-to-year gain in voluntary part time amounted to a phenomenal 5 percent; ir
contrast, full-time employment rose less than 1 percent a year. The large increase
in voluntary part time over the 1956-63 period raised this component from 8O 7 to 11.
percent of total nonagricultural employment. On the other hand, full-time employm*
increased only slightly and, as the tabulation on the next page shows, fell as a propc
tion of nonagricultural employment.
Substantial increases in part-time employment have continued since 1963, but
there has not been the marked acceleration that was evident in full-time employment
Voluntary part time grew by about 6 percent a year from 1963 to 1966, maintaining o

perhaps slightly increasing its long-term growth r a t e . Although there was a sharp
jump in p a r t - t i m e employment from early 1965 to early 1966 (800, 000), it is unlikely
that i n c r e a s e s of that size will be maintained. Voluntary part time has moved up
steadily throughout the postwar period, but, as chart A indicates, the s h o r t - r u n
i n c r e a s e s have been somewhat uneven. After rising sharply in early 1964, p a r t - t i m e
employment declined slightly and then remained about level until mid-1965 when it
moved upward very strongly.
Age and Sex. Throughout most of the postwar period, voluntary p a r t - t i m e
w o r k e r s have increased as a proportion of nonfarm employment, except among men
in the central age groups o However, the recent advance in full-time employment has
halted the rising proportion of p a r t - t i m e work in all age groups except t e e n a g e r s .
The number of teenagers on voluntary part time shot up from 2. 1 million in 1963 to
almost 3. 0 million in 1966. Virtually all of the job gain for 14-17 year - olds was in
p a r t - t i m e , and by early 1966 voluntary part time accounted for almost 90 percent of
total employment in this age group. P a r t - t i m e employment has also moved up sharply
for 18-19 y e a r - o l d s (especially boys) since 1963- -reflecting the increased tendency of
these young people to r e m a i n in school.
Adult women accounted for approximately 400, 000 of the 1. 4 million r i s e in
voluntary part time from 1963 to 1966, with most of the incr ease coming in the 25-64
age category. On the other hand, among 20-24 year-old women and those age 65 and
over, the r i s e was small and part-time actually declined as a proportion of total
employment. These declines r e v e r s e d long-term trends--underlining again the
intensity of the demand for full-time workers o Women at the younger and older ends
of the age scale, who a r e relatively freer of home and family responsibilities, have
made the l a r g e s t proportionate i n c r e a s e s in full-time employment since 1963.
Very few adult men in the central age groups work l e s s than 35 hours by choice.
L e s s than 2 percent of the employed 25-64 year-old males a r e voluntary p a r t - t i m e
w o r k e r s ; the proportion in this group remained constant from 1963 to 1966. There
was a small i n c r e a s e in p a r t - t i m e employment for 20-24 year-old men, For men
65 and over, however, there has been virtually no i n c r e a s e in p a r t time since 1963.
The proportion of older men on part time showed a marked r i s e during the 1950! s
and e a r l y I9601 s but has remained stable for the past 3 y e a r s 0
Industry and Occupation. The long-run employment growth in the s e r v i c e producing sector continued from 1963 to 1966. Approximately one-fifth of the wage
and salary w o r k e r s in trade and s e r v i c e s regularly work part time by choice. These
industries accounted for almost four-fifths of the 1. 4 million r i s e in voluntary parttime employment since 1963.
Voluntary p a r t - t i m e work is most prevalent in the l e s s skilled occupation groups.
Over half of all private household w o r k e r s are voluntarily on short workweeks. Total
employment in this occupation has shown little change in the last few y e a r s and the
number on part time has also remained constant. Approximately one-fourth of the
employed s a l e s w o r k e r s and service w o r k e r s except domestics work part time by
choice o These two occupations together accounted for about 500,000 of the 1963-66
pickup in voluntary part t i m e . At the same t i m e , part time rose sharply among




11

clerical workers (400,000) and unskilled laborers (100,000).
Between 1965 and 1966 voluntary part-time employment advanced by about 175,000
among semiskilled operatives. In the previous two years, total employment for operatives had moved up strongly but all of that gain was in full-time jobs. The recent parttime increase for operatives is the only development that suggests part-time workers
are being utilized in traditionally full-time jobs. However, at the present time, it is
difficult to determine whether this increase foreshadows a new trend or is merely a
temporary phenomenon. There is little other evidence to indicate that part-time
workers have made significant inroads in normally full-time employment. Since 1963,
most of the increase in part-time employment has occurred in the trade and service
industries and in the occupations where part-time workers historically have been
most concentrated.
Involuntary Part-Time Workers
The 1963-66 pickup in full-time employment was accompanied by a sharp drop
in the number of persons on part time for economic reasons. This component of the
employed, often referred to as underemployed, fluctuates sharply with changes in the
business cycle. For example, during the 1958 and 1961 recessions more than 3 million
nonagricultural workers were on economic part time. The number was down to 2. 2
million by early 1963 and had fallen to 1, 650, 000 by the first quarter of 1966.
There are two major groups of economic part-time workers--both of roughly
similar size. One group consists of persons who "usually work full time" but are
limited to part time because of slack work, material shortages, or repairs to plant
and equipment. Also included are regular full-time workers whose job ended or
began during the survey week. Persons who "usually work full time" but are on part
time for economic reasons are concentrated in manufacturing and construction; adult
men account for more than half of this group.
The second group is those who "usually work part time" for economic reasons.
This group consists primarily of persons who regularly work part time because they

are unable to find full-time work. It also includes some people who used to work full
time but have been on short hours for so long that they cannot say they usually work
full time. Women and teenagers currently account for about two-thirds of the "usually
work part time11 group.
The number of persons working part time for economic reasons fell by about
550, 000 or 25 percent between 1963 and 1966O This reduction reflected the increased
demand for full-time manpower, particularly in the goods-producing industries. In
the recovery period following the 1961 recession, more than half of the decrease in
economic part time occurred among those "usually on full time. M However, in the
1963-66 period, two-thirds of the drop was among "usually part-time" workers
(table 3). The latter group, where women predominate, is normally slower to react
to overall changes in the level of economic activity.
"Slack work" and "no full-time work available" are the reasons given by the
vast majority of persons on economic part timeo The number reporting these two
reasons has dropped by about 30 percent since 1963. On the other hand, as the
economy operates at higher levels of capacity, other reasons for economic part time
become more prevalent. In the last 3 years there has been a small increase in the
number of persons reporting short workweeks because of material shortages, repairs
to plant and equipment, and the start or end of a job during the survey week.

Negro workers, who are concentrated disproportionately among the unemployed,
are even harder hit by underemployment. 4 In the first quarter of 1966, Negro workers
made up 11 percent of the labor force, Zl percent of the unemployed, and 28 percent of
those on economic part time. Negroes represent about one-sixth of the "usual fulltime" workers, but they account for fully 40 percent of those on economic part time
who "usually work part time o " Since the latter group consists primarily of persons
unable to find full-time work, it is an additional measure of the great disadvantage
still facing Negro workers. The above proportions remained constant between 1963
and 1966.
The high proportion of Negro workers on short hours for economic reasons
partly reflects their concentration in low-skilled jobs. Involuntary part time constitutes a relatively large part of total employment among domestics and unskilled
laborers where Negro employment is disproportionately heavy. However, the proportion of Negro workers on economic part time is higher than for white workers in
almost every major industry division. It is probable that underemployment is more

common among Negroes than whites at all skill levels.
Unemployment Developments
The 1963-66 acceleration in full-time employment was reflected in a steady and
substantial fall in the number of unemployed persons seeking full-time jobso Fulltime workers tend to benefit first from increased demands for labor because they are
concentrated in the goods-producing industries where employment responds quickly
to rising orders and production. However, during a sustained period of high employment demand, part-time workers also benefit. The unemployment rate for part-time
workers (seasonally adjusted), which remained high and virtually unchanged during
1963 and 1964, has declined gradually, but unevenly, since late 1964.
Full-Time Workerso The number of unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs
dropped by 1. 6 million or nearly 40 percent between 1963 and 1966. Moreover, the
decreased accelerated from about 400, 000 per year in the 1963-65 period to 800, 000
in the last year. The unemployment rate for full-time workers (seasonally adjusted)
has moved sharply and steadily downward since 1963--closely paralleling the decline
in the total unemployment rate (chart B). All of the drop in total unemployment in the
past three years has taken place among persons seeking full-time work.

As would be expected, the unemployment rate for adult men was the first to
respond to the increased pace of economic activity. It declined steadily from 5.9
percent in early 1963 to 30 3 percent in 1966 (not seasonally adjusted). The rate for
adult women did not start down until 1964, but it has fallen consistently since then.
On the other hand, full-time employment for teenagers was virtually unchanged from
1963 to 1965, and their jobless rate remained close to 20 percent. However, there
was a strong advance in full-time employment for 14-19 year-olds in the past year,




14

and the unemployment rate was cut to 14 percent (table 4). The full-time rate for
adult men, which began to decline before the rates for women and teenagers, showed
the largest relative improvement in the 1963-66 period. However, as the available
pool of unemployed adult men dwindled, employers turned increasingly to adult women
and teenagers, and the full-time unemployment rates for these two groups improved
markedly.

Part-time data are February-March averages

Part-Time Workers. The expansion in part-time employment since 1963 has
been sufficient to keep pace with labor force growth but was not large enough to
reduce unemployment. The number of unemployed persons seeking part-time jobs
has fluctuated between 600,000 and 700, 000, while the number looking for full-time
has dropped substantially. As a result, part-time jobseekers rose from 13 percent
of all unemployed persons in 1963 to 19 percent in 1966. The uptrend in the proportion
seeking part-time jobs, evident throughout the postwar period, has accelerated since
1963, along with the sharp rise in the number of young workers in the population.
Although part-time unemployment has remained about constant since 1963, the
large employment increase resulted in a slight reduction in the unemployment rate.
Throughout 1963 and 1964, the seasonally adjusted rate for part-time workers remained
above 7 percent. However, it began to move downward unevenly in early 1965 and
reached 6. 3 percent by the first quarter of 1966.
Adult women and teenagers together represent more than four-fifths of the parttime labor force and they accounted for most of the past year1 s drop in the part-time
unemployment rate. In early 1966, there were less than 1. 7 million adult men in the
part-time labor force and only 90,000 of them were unemployed. Therefore, although
the part-time unemployment rate for men is higher than the full-time rate, it represents only a small number of workers. On the other hand, 350, 000 or nearly half of
the unemployed teenagers in 1966 were looking for part-time jobs. While the rate for
teenagers seeking part-time work declined slightly in 1966, it was still about twice
as high as the part-time rate for adults. Approximately 175,000 unemployed adult
women were looking for part-time work in 1966, and their rate was below 4 percent
for the first time.




15

From 1963 to 1965, the unemployment rates for women and teenagers seeking
part-time work were substantially lower than their respective full-time rates. Although this relationship still obtains today, the recent upsurge in full-time jobs has
reduced markedly the difference between the full- and part-time unemployment rates
for the two groups. In fact, for adult women, the two rates were very nearly equal
in early 1966.
Labor Force Time Lost. In order to assess how well the Nation1 s available
manpower is being utilized, it is necessary to consider the joint impact of unemployment and involuntary part-time employment. nLabor force time lost11 provides such
a comprehensive measure of manhours unutilized; it is expressed as a percent of
manhours available. In computing labor force time lost it is assumed that: 1) unemployed persons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37. 5 hours, 2) those
looking for part-time work lost the average number of hours actually worked by
voluntary part-time workers, and 3) persons on part time for economic reasons
lost the difference between 37. 5 hours and the number of hours they actually worked.
In effect, this ratio measures the extent to which the Nation1 s labor force is being
underutilized--in terms of manhours, not individuals. On the other hand, the
unemployment rate is simply the number of unemployed persons (no distinction being
made between those seeking full-time and those seeking part-time jobs) divided by
the civilian labor force.
Labor force time lost has declined steadily since early 1963 and has gradually
moved closer to the total unemployment rate (chart B). In the past, labor force time
lost had remained above the unemployment rate because the hours lost by workers on
economic part time more than offset the lesser weight carried by persons seeking
part-time work. 5 However, with the accelerated decline in economic part-time work
and the increasing proportion of part-time jobseekers among the unemployed, the
difference between the two series has narrowed significantly. If these trends continue,
labor force time lost could move below the unemployment rate.
Labor force time lost fell from 7. 3 percent in 1963 to 4. 6 percent in 1966. The
corollary of this movement was an increase in the proportion of manhours utilized
from 92. 7 to 95. 4 percent. By disaggregating labor force time lost, it is possible
to estimate how much of the 1963-66 improvement was attributable to each of the
various components. Not surprisingly, the greatest part of the improvement (about
70 percent) came from the sharp drop in the number of persons seeking full-time
jobs. Another 17 percent was attributable to the employment increase, and about
12 percent was due to the reduction in economic part timeo The small changes in the
number seeking part-time employment and in average hours worked had virtually no
impact on labor force time lost.

5
Manhours lost by persons on economic part time (not included in the unemployment rate) operate to increase labor force time lost relative to the unemployment
rate. On the other hand, part-time jobseekers have less weight in labor force time
lost than in the unemployment rate, and this operates to lower labor force time lost
relative to the jobless rate.

*Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Two groups averaging about one-quarter million
workers which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work)-those on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 d a y s were assigned to different classifications, mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.
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 I960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has resulted in an increase of about half a
million in the noninstitutional 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 were virtually unchanged.
NOTE: Data for 1929-39 based on sources other than direct enumeration.

Technical Note

Technical Note
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.
Order blank follows Technical Note.

INTRODUCTION

Relation between the household and payroll series

The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
three major sources: (1) household interviews, (2) payroll reports from employers; and (3) administrative
statistics of unemployment insurance systems.

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 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 comprehensive
data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed, including such characteristics as age, sex, color,
marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration
of unemployment. The information is collected by trained
interviewers from a sample of about 35,000 households,
representing 357 areas in 701 counties and independent
cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District of
Columbia. The data collected are based on the activity
or status reported for the calendar week including the
12th of the month.

Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences in definition and coverage, sources
of information, methods of collection, and estimating
procedures. Sampling variability and response errors
are additional reasons for discrepancies. The major
factors which have a differential effect on levels and
trends of the two series are as follows:
Employment

Coverage. The household survey definition of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including
domestics and other private household workers), selfemployed persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15
hours or more during the survey week in family-operated
enterprises. Employment in both farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage
and salary employees on the payrolls of nonfarm establishments.

Data based on establishment pay roll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies.
The payroll survey provides detailed industry information
on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours, average hourly and weekly earnings,
and labor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The figures are based on payroll reports
from a sample of establishments employing about 25
million nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data
relate to all workers, full- or part-time, who received
pay during the payroll period which includes the 12th
of the month.

Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population
without duplication since each person is classified as
employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job are counted
only once, and are classified according to the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during
the survey week. In the figures based on establishment
records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each
time their names appear on payrolls.

Data based on administrative records of unemployment
insurance systems furnish a complete count of insured
unemployment among the two-thirds of the Nation's
labor force covered by unemployment insurance programs. Weekly reports, by State, are issued on the
number of initial claims, the volume and rate of insured
unemployment under State unemployment insurance programs, and the volume under programs of unemployment
compensation for Federal employees, exservicemen,
and for railroad workers. These statistics are published by the Bureau of Employment Security, U.S.
D e p a r t m e n t of Labor in "Unemployment Insurance
Claims."




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, even if they were not paid by their employers
94

are the inclusion of persons under 14 in the Statistical
Research Service (SRS) series and the treatment of dual
jobholders who are counted more than once if they worked
on more than one farm during the reporting period.
There are also wide differences in sampling techniques
and collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be
readily measured in terms of impact on differences in
level and trend of the two series.

for the time off. In the figures based on payroll reports,
persons on leave paid for by the company are included,
but not those on leave without pay for the entire payroll
period.
Hours of Work

The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by
employers. In the household survey data, all persons
with a job but not at work are excluded from the hours
distributions and the computations of average hours.
In the payroll survey, employees on paid vacation, paid
holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned the
number of hours for which they were paid during the
reporting period.

Comparability of the payroll employment data
with other series

Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the
Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment
differ from employment counts derived by the Bureau
of the Census from its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses
of business establishments. The major reasons for some
noncomparability are different treatment of business
units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, the
industrial classification of establishments, and different
reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are
also differences in the scope of the industries covered,
e.g., the Census of Business excludes contract construction, professional services, public utilities, and financial
establishments, whereas these are included in BLS
statistics.

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 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).

County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of
Commerce and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ
from BLS establishment statistics in the treatment of
central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrial classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes
interstate railroads and government, and coverage is
incomplete for some of the nonprofit activities.

In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment used in the household survey, For example,
persons with a job but not at work and persons working
only a few hours during the week are sometimes eligible
for unemployment compensation, but are classified as
employed rather than unemployed in the household
survey.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department
of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage

Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are
covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All
workers in certain activities, such as interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small firms in' covered
industries are also excluded in 32 States. In general,
these are establishments with less than four employees.

Labor Force Data
Current Population Survey" (BLS Report 279). This report is available from BLS on request.

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 Household
Statistics on Employment and Unemployment from the-




95

These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population 14 years
and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of
the household 14 years of age and over. The inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,

Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of the
month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.

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.

Inmates of institutions and persons under 14 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.

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 the*r line of work or in the community. For
persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represent*'':
the number of full weeks since the termination of their
most recent employment. A period of 2 weeks or more
during which a person was employed or ceased looking
for work is considered to break the continuity of the
present period of seeking work. Average duration is an
arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single
weeks of unemployment.

Each month, 35,000 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 1,500 of these households are visited
but interviews are not obtained because the occupants
are not found at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 4 percent. In addition
to the 35,000 occupied units there are 5,000 sample units
in an average month which are visited but found to be
vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of the
sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides
for three-fourths of the sample to be common from one
month to the next, and one-half to be common with the
same month a year ago.

The civilian labor force comprises the total of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria described above. The "total
labor force" also includes members of the Armed Forces
stationed either in the United States or abroad.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. This
measure can also be computed for groups within the labor
force classified by sex, age, marital status, color, etc.

CONCEPTS

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

Not in labor force includes all civilians 14 years
and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are further classified as
"engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable
to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness,
and "other." The "other" group includes for the most
part retired persons, those reported as too old to work,
the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not
reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental
unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force.

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.

Occupation, industry, and class of worker for t h e
employed apply to the Job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during
the survey week. The unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time civilian job lasting 2 weeks
or more. The occupation and industry groups used in
data derived from the CPS household interviews are
defined as in the 1960 Census of Population. Information
on the detailed categories included in these groups is
available upon request.

Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are
not living on the premises of an Embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted
of work around the house (such as own home houaework,
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




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
96

own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay
for 15 hours a week or more on a farm or in a business
operated by a member of the household to whom they are
related by blood or marriage.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
a person who normally works 40 hours a week but who
was off on the Veterans Day holiday would be reported
as working 32 hours even though he was paid for the
holiday.
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. Persons on full-time
schedules include, in addition to those working 35 hours
or more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomic reasons but usually work full time.
Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor
force consists of persons working on full-time schedules,
persons involuntarily working part time (because fulltime work is not available) and unemployed persons
seeking full-time jobs. The part-time labor force consists
of persons working part time voluntarily and unemployed
persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job but
not at work during the survey week are distributed proportionately between the full-time and voluntary parttime employment categories.
Labor force time lost is a measure of man-hours
lost to the economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed
as a percent of potentially available man-hours.
It is computed by assuming: (1) that unemployed
persons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours, (2) that those looking for parttime work lost the average number of hours actually
worked by voluntary part-time workers during the
survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for
economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5
hours and the a c t u a l n u m b e r of hours they
worked.

ESTIMATING METHODS

Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of
the results for a given month become available simultaneously and are based on retufns from the entire
panel of respondents. There are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark data on labor force,
employment, or unemployment. Therefore, revisions of
the historical data are not an inherent feature of this
statistical program.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed
to account for occupied sample households for which no
information was obtained because of absence, impassable
roads, refusals, or unavailability for other reasons. This
adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas
and, within these, for six groups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence categories (urban,
rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample
households not interviewed varies from 4 to 6 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:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by
the known 1960 Census data on the color-residence
distribution of the population. This step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the 1960
Census between the color-residence distribution for the
Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the
sample proportions are weighted by independent current
estimates of the population by age, sex, and color.
These estimates are prepared by carrying forward the
most recent census data (1960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality, and migration between the U n i t e d S t a t e s and other countries.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure is used which takes account of net changes from
the previous month for continuing parts of the sample
(75 percent) as well as the sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces the sampling variability especially of mo nth-to-month changes but also of
the levels for most items.

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.

Reliability of the Estimates

Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ from the figures that would have been obtained if
it were possible to take a complete census using the
same schedules and procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that might occur by chance
because only a sample of the population is surveyed.
The chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from
the sample would differ from a complete census by less
than the standard error. The chances are about 19 out of
20 that the difference would be less than twice the
standard error.

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 mo nth-to-month change itself.
Thus, in order to use the approximations to the standard
errors of month-to-month changes as presented in table
C, it is first necessary to obtain the standard error of
the monthly level of the item in table B, and then find the
standard error of the month-to-month change in table C
corresponding to this standard error of level. It should
be noted that table C applies to estimates of change between 2 consecutive months. For changes between the
current month and the same month last year* the standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable
approximations.

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

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

Establishment Data
COLLECTION

on Labor Turnover. 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.

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

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 man-hours of production and related workers
or nonsupervisory workers for the pay period which most
nearly coincides with the standard survey reference week
(the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of the 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.

Federal-State Cooperation

Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out only one employment or labor
turnover schedule, which is then used for national, State,
and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting
on the part of respondents and, together with the use of
identical techniques at the national and State levels,
insures maximum 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.

CONCEPTS
Industrial Classification

Shuttle Schedules

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 supplement to the

Two types of data collection schedules are used:
Form BLS 790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours; and Form DL 1219—Monthly Report




99

monthly 790 or 1219 report. For an establishment making
more than • one product or engaging in more than one
activity, the entire employment of the establishment is
included under the industry indicated by the most important product or activity.
All national, State, and area employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover series are classified in
accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual Bureau of the Budget, 1957, as amended by the
1963 Supplement.
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 which includes
the 12th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, employment figures represent the number of
persons who occupied positions on the last day of the
calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if they
performed any service during the month.

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 .asno ciated with those of the employees listed.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who
received pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the month. The payroll is reported
before deductions of any kind, e.g., for old-age and
unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding
tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly
by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly
each pay period), other pay not earned in pay period
reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free
rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded.

The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed,
unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic
workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations
are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal military personnel are excluded
from total nonagricultural employment.

Man-hours cover man-hours worked or paid for,
during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month,
for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers.
The man-hours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly
from the firm.

Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm),
on paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a
part of the pay period and are unemployed or on strike
during the rest of the period, are counted as employed.
Not counted as employed are persons who are laid off,
on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period,
or who are hired but do not report to work during the
period.

Overtime hours cover premium overtime hours of
production and related workers during the pay period
which includes the 12th 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.

Industry Hours and Earnings

Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related
workers in manufacturing and mining, construction
workers in contract construction, and nonsupervisory
employees in the remaining nonfarm components. For
Federal Government, hours and earnings relate to all
employees who worked or received pay during the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month. Terms are
defined below* When the pay period reported is longer
than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weekly basis.

Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings

Average hourly earnings are on a "gross" basis,
reflecting not only changes in basic hourly and incentive
wage rates, but also such variable factors as premium
pay for overtime and late-shift work, and changes in
output of workers paid on an incentive plan. Shifts in the
volume of employment between relatively high-paid and
low-paid work and changes in 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.

Production and related workers include working
foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing,
assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling,
packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair,
janitorial and watchman services, product development,
auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g., power
plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Construction wo rkers include the following employees
in the contract construction division: Working foremen,




journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, laborers, etc.,
whether working at the site of construction or in shops
or yards, at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling)
ordinarily performed by members of the construction
trades.

100

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, construction worker, or nonsupervisoryemployee definitions.

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.

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.

"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 Weekly Hours

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

Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime

Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime pay are computed by dividing the total productionworker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total
production-worker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January 1956, these data were
based on the application of adjustment factors to gross
average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly
Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
li 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.

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-tomonth; 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.

Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours

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

Railroad Hours and Earnings

Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employed status with
respect to individual establishments. This movement,
which relates to a calendar month, is divided into two
broad types; Accessions (new hires and rehires) and
separations (terminations of employment initiated by
either employer or employee). Each type of action is
cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees,
whether full- or part-time, permanent 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.

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.

temporary additions to the employment isoll, including

ratio estimation, and (2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and (3) the use of size
and regional stratification.

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.

The "Link Relative" Technique

From a sample composed of establishments reporting
for both the previous and current months, the ratio of
current month employment to that of the previous month
is computed. This is called a link relative. The estimates
of employment (all employees, including production and
nonproduction workers together) for the current month
are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these "link relatives." Other features of
the general procedures are described later in the table,
Summary of Methods for Computing Industry Statistics
on Employment, Hours, Earnings, and Labor Turnover.
Further details are given in the technical notes on
Measurement of Employment, Hours, and Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries and on Measuremnt of Labor Turnover, which are available upon request.

Other accessions, which are not published separately
but are included in total accessions, are all additions to
the employment roll which are not classified as new
hires, including transfers from another establishment
of the company.
Separations are terminations of employment during
the calendar month and are classified according to cause:
Quits, layoffs, and other separations, are defined as
follows:

Size and Regional Stratification

A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight
the hours and earnings into broader industry groupings.
Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an employment,
hours, or earnings series, as the term is used in the
summary of computational methods may be a whole
industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size
stratum of a region within an industry.

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.

Benchmark Adjustments

0 ther seporations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations
of employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and entrance into the Armed Forces
for a period expected to last more than 30 consecutive
calendar days.

Employment estimates are periodically compared
with comprehensive counts of employment which provide
"benchmarks" for the various nonagriculturalindustries,
and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The
industry estimates are currently projected from March
1964 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.

Comparability With Employment Series

The primary source of benchmark information is the
employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by
State agencies from reports of establishments covered
under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, covering three-fourths of the total nonfarm employment in the United States, are prepared under the
direction of the Bureau of Employment Security. Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and a number of other agencies
in private industry or government.

Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates
are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's
employment series for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month; and (2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions
although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates if the work stoppage extends through the
report period.

The estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series
of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark
and the preceding one, and the new benchmark for each
industry is then carried forward progressively to the
current month by use of the sample trends. Thus, under

ESTIMATING METHODS

The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the
use of the "link relative" technique, which is a form of




102

this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the
level of employment, while the sample is used to measure
the mo nth-to-month changes in the level.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which
the series has been adjusted are therefore subject to
revision. To provide users of the data with a convenient
reference source for the revised data, the BLS publishes
as soon as possible after each benchmark revision a
summary volume of employment, hours, earnings, and
labor turnover statistics. The current volume in this
s e r i e s is Employment and Earnings Statistics for the
United States, 1909-65, Bulletin 1312-3 (Dec. 1965), and
contains monthly statistics from the earliest date of
availability through August 1965.

In the context of the BLS employment and labor
turnover statistics program, with their emphasis on producing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be
obtained which will provide coverage of a sufficiently
large segment of the universe to provide reasonably
reliable estimates that can be published promptly and
regularly. The present sample meets these specifications for most industries. With its use, the BLS is able
to produce preliminary estimates each month for many
industries and for many geographic levels within a few
weeks after reports are mailed by respondents, and at a
somewhat later date, statistics in considerably greater
industrial detail. The tendency of such a sample to
produce biased estimates of the level of earnings for
certain industries is counteracted by the stratified estimating procedure described under "EstimatingMethods."

THE SAMPLE
Design

Coverage

The sampling plan used in the current employment
statistics program is an optimum allocation design known
as "sampling proportionate to average size of establishment.*1 The universe of establishments is stratified first
by industry and then within each industry by size of
establishment in terms of employment. For each industry
the total size of sarnie is distributed among the size
class cells on the basis of average employment per
establishment in each cell. In practice, this is equivalent
to distributing the predetermined total number of establishments required in the sample among the cells on the
basis of the ratio of employment in each cell to total
employment in the industry. Within each stratum the
sample members are selected at random.

The BLS sample of establishment employment and
payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the
field of social statistics. The table that follows 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.
Approximate size and coverage of BLS employment
and payrolls sample, March 19641
Employees
Industry division

Under this type of design, large establishments fall
into the sample with certainty. The size of the samples
for the various industries is determined empirically
on the basis of experience and of cost considerations.
In a manufacturing industry in which a high proportion of
total employment is concentrated in a relatively few
establishments, a large percentage of total employment
is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample
design for such industries provides for a complete
census of the larger establishments with only a few
chosen from among the smaller establishments or none
at all if the concentration o* employment is great
enough. On the other hand, in an industry in which a
large proportion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all
large establishments, and also for a substantial number
of the smaller ones. Many industries in the trade and
service divisions fall into this category. In order to keep
the sample to a size which can be handled by available
resources, it is necessary to accept samples in these
divisions with a smaller proportion of universe employment than is the case for most manufacturing industries.
Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show less fluctuation from
regular cyclical or seasonal patterns than establishments
in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples
(in terms of employment) generally produce reliable
estimates.

individual establishments (resulting from changes in
their product), which are not reflected in the levels of
estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks.
At more detailed industry levels, particularly within
manufacturing, changes in classification are the major
cause of benchmark adjustments; however, they become
less important at broader aggregations of industries.
Another cause of differences, generally minor, between
the estimates and the benchmark arises from improvements in the quality of benchmark data. A detailed description of the latest adjustment, "BLS Establishment
Estimates Revised to March 1964 Benchmark Levels"
was published in the December 1965 issue of Employment
and Earnings. Reprints of this article are available

Communication:

For the most recent months, national estimates of
employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and
are so footnoted in the tables. These particular figures
are based on less than the full sample and consequently
are subject to revisions when all the reports in the
sample have been received. Studies of these revisions
of preliminary estimates in the past indicate that they
have been relatively small (and most frequently upward)
for employment, and even smaller for hours and earnings 0

Reliability of the Employment Estimate

One measure of the reliability of an employment
estimate projected from a benchmark is the amount by
which it differs from the new benchmark at the next
adjustment period. The BLS uses this criterion rather
than the standard error of the estimates. An approximation of the accuracy of the BLS employment estimates
is shown by the following table:

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND 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. Definitions for all areas
are published each year in the issue of Employment and
Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force that contains State and area annual averages. Changes in
definitions are noted as they occur. Additional industry
detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed
on the inside back cover of each issue. These statistics
are based on the same establishment reports used by
BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sum of the State figures may differ slightly
from the equivalent official U.S. totals on a national
basis, because some States have more recent benchmarks than others and because of the effects of differing
industrial and geographic stratification.

Users of State and area employment, hours, and

Earnings Statistics for States and Areas, 1939-64, BLS
Bulletin 1370-2. For the States and the areas shown in
the B and C sections of this periodical, all the annual
average data for the detailed industry statistics currently
published by each cooperating State agency are presented
from the earliest data of availability of each series
through 1964.

For some detailed industries, the relative size of
the correction to benchmarks is somewhat greater than
is indicated for the major industry divisions in the

Differences between the benchmarks and the estimates, as well as the sampling and response errors,
result from changes in the industrial classification of

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE DATA
Insured unemployment represents the number of persons reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment insurance program. It includes some persons
who are working part time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and household surveys. Excluded
are persons who have exhausted their benefit rights, new
workers who have hot earned rights to unemployment
insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local
government, domestic service, self-employment, unpaid
family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a
minimum size). The rate of insured unemployment is the
number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent of
average covered employment in a 12-month period ending
6 to 8 months prior to the week of reference. Initial

claims are notices filed by those losing jobs covered by.
an unemployment insurance program that they are starting a period of unemployment. A claimant who continues
to be unemployed a full week is then counted in the
insured, unemployment figure.
Because of differences in State laws and procedures
under which unemployment insurance programs are operated, State unemployment rates generally indicate, but
do not precisely measure, differences among the individual States. Persons wishing to receive a detailed
description of the nature, sources, inclusions and exclusions, and limitations of unemployment insurance data
should address their inquiries to Bureau of Employment
Security, Washington, D.C.

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring
seasonal movement which can be estimated on the basis
of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change
which can be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is
possible to observe the cyclical and other nonseasonal
movements in the series. However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern—that is, changes in a
seasonally adjusted series—it is important to note that
seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based
on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have
a broader margin of possible error than the original
data on which they are based, since they are subject not
only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are
affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment
process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected
labor force and establishment data are published regularly
in Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the
Labor Force.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these series
is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average
method, with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors
to take account of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed
description of the method is given in the booklet, The BLS
Seasonal Factor Method (1964), which may be obtained
from the Bureau on request. An earlier version of the
method is described in Appendix G of the 1962 Report of
the President's Committee to Appraise Employment and
Unemployment Statistics, Measuring Employment and
Unemployment.
For establishment dataf 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. Indexes of
aggregate weekly man-hours seasonally adjusted, for
mining, contract construction, and the major industries
in manufacturing are obtained by multiplying average
weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production workers,
seasonally adjusted and dividing by the 1957-59 base.
For total, manufacturing, and durable and nondurable
goods, the indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours,
seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggre-




gate weekly man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for the
appropriate component industries and dividing by the
1957-59 base.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal Government are based on a series which excludes
the Christmas temporary help employed by the Post
Office Department in December. The employment of these
workers constitutes the only significant seasonal change
in Federal Government employment during the winter
months. Furthermore, the volume of such employment
may change substantially from year to year because of
administrative decisions by the Post Office Department.
Hence, it was considered desirable to exclude this group
from the data upon which the seasonally adjusted series
is based. Factors currently in use for the establishment
data are shown in the December 1965 Employment and
Earnings, and revisions will be made coincidental with
the adjustment of series to new benchmark levels.
For each of the three major labor force components—
agricultural and nonagricultural employment, and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and
female workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then
added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In ordei
to produce seasonally adjusted total employment and
civilian labor force data, the appropriate series are
aggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted
figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the
seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the sum of
twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current
data are based on a pattern shown by past experience.
These factors are revised in the light of the pattern
revealed by subsequent data. Revised seasonally adjusted
series for major components of the labor force based on
data through December 1965 are published in the February
1966 Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on
the Labor Force. Revisions will be made annually as each
additional year's data become available.
