Employment and Unemployment
Developments, May 1969

Nonfarm payroll employment a d v a n c e d
moderately in May> w h i l e unemployment
showed its usual April-May decline.
Employment on nonfarm payrolls rose by
90,000 (seasonally adjusted) in May. The increase occurred despite a 60,000 net rise in
the number of workers off payrolls because
of strikes, mainly in construction and manufacturing. Employment growth, rapid in late
1968 and early 1969, has slowed considerably
in the past 3 months. Monthly payroll employment increases have averaged 100,000 in
the February-May period, in contrast to 325,000
over the September-February period. Therecent slowing down has occurred mainly in the
goods-producing sector; employment in the
service sector has continued to rise, although
at a less rapid pace than in the earlier period.j/
The total unemployment rate was 3.5 percent in May, the same as in April. Jobless
rates for most major labor force groups
showed little or no change over the month and
remained slightly above the post-Korean lows
reached early in 1969. The jobless rate for
workers covered under State unemployment
insurance programs edged down, returning
to its alltime low of 2.0 percent.
Industry Employment
Nonagricultural payroll employment totaled
70.2 million in May, an increase of 420,000
from April. Most of the May job growth occurred in government (45,000), trade (30,000),
and miscellaneous service industries (25,000).
Manufacturing employment rose by 20,000,
with the gain largely concentrated in the electrical equipment industry.
Employment in contract construction declined by 30,000 (seasonally adjusted) in May,
primarily as a result of an increase in workers on strike. Over the year, employment
in the industry was up by 145,000.




Hours and Earnings
Average weekly hours for all rank and file
workers on private nonagricultural payrolls
rose slightly less than usual in May. After
seasonal adjustment, the average workweek
was down one-tenth of an hour to 37.7 hours.
With the exception of February, when hours
were affected by bad weather, the average
workweek has remained virtually unchanged
thus far in 1969.
The workweek in manufacturing remained
at the same level (40.8 hours, seasonally adjusted) for the third consecutive month. The
recent stability of the factory workweek has
occurred at a relatively high plateau; it was
one-tenth of an hour above the average for
1968 and only 0.3 hour below the 1968 peak
reached last September. Factory overtime
edged up one-tenth of an hour in May to 3.7
hours (seasonally adjusted).
Average hourly earnings for rank and file
employees on private payrolls rose 2 cents in
May to $3.02. Compared with May 1968, hourly
earnings were up 19 cents (or 6.7percent). The
May rise to $3.02 marked the first time that
hourly earnings exceeded the $3 m&rk. Average
hourly earnings first exceeded $1 just after
World War II and reached $2 in 1959. Average
hourly earnings in May ranged from $2.29
an hour in retail trade to $4.68 in contract
construction.
Average weekly earnings for production
and nonsupervisory workers increased by
$1.05 over the month to $113.55. Compared
JL/ Goods-producing i n d u s t r i e s include
mining, c o n s t r u c t i o n , and manufacturing;
service-producing industries include transportation and public utilities, finance, insurance, and real estate, miscellaneous services,
and government.

with May 1968, average weekly earnings were
up by $6.86 (or 6.4 percent). All industry divisions except mining reported increases in
average weekly earnings.
Unemployment
The number of unemployed persons was 2.3
million in May, down 250,000 over the month,
about in line with the usual seasonal reduction.
After seasonal adjustment, unemployment was
little changed from April, after rising 220,000
in the previous 2 months.
The total unemployment rate, at 3.5percent
in May, was unchanged over the month. Between
February and April, the jobless rate had edged
up from the post-Korean low of 3.3 percent.
Unemployment rates for most major labor
force groups held steady in May. Jobless rates
for adult men (2.0 percent) and married men
(1.5 percent) remained at April's near record
low levels. Rates for women (3.7 percent),
teenagers (12.5 percent), and full-time workers (3.1 percent) also were not significantly
changed in May, after edging upward in the
February-April period. All of the above rates
were at or near May 1968 levels.
The nonwhite unemployment rate was 6.5
percent in May, not significantly different
from April's rate. The jobless rate for nonwhite adult women, which rose sharply in
April, dropped to 5.7 percent in May, approximating the first quarter 1969 average. For
white workers, the unemployment rate was
3.1 percent in May, the same as in April.
The State insured jobless rate edged from
2.1 to 2.0 percent over the month. The May
rate matched that of December 1968, the
lowest level since the series began in 1949.




Labor Force and Employment
The civilian labor force, at 79.6 million in
May, was unchanged from April, although it
usually rises substantially at this time of year.
Since February, the civilian labor force has
declined by nearly 300,000 (seasonally adjusted), after increasing substantially (1.6
million) over the October-February period.
Total employment, at 77.3 million in May,
was up 200,000 from April, much less than
the usual April-May rise. After seasonal adjustment, employment was down by 340,000.
A moderate advance in agricultural employment was more than offset by a nearly halfmillion decline in nonagricultural employment.
Comparability of Household and
Payroll Employment Data
As actually took place in May, data from
the household and payroll employment series
sometimes differ in direction of movement
as well as in size. These disparities occur
because of differences in definition and coverage, sources of information, methods of collection, seasonal adjustment, and estimating
procedures. Total nonagricultural employment
from the household series includes selfemployed, unpaid family, and private household
workers and unpaid persons with a job but not
at work; these groups are excluded from the
survey of nonagricultural payroll employment.
In addition, the household survey counts each
employed person only once, while the payroll
survey counts persons in each job that they
hold during the reference period. Therefore,
divergent movements in the two series—particularly over a short time span—may occur;
when viewed over a longer period, however,
both series show similar trends and thus
complement one another.

^Beginning with January 1959, transfers between establishments of the same firm are included in total accessions and total separations, therefore rates for these items are
not strictly comparable with prior data. Transfers comprise part of other accessions and other separations, the rates for which are not shown separately.
NOTE: Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1959. This inclusion has not significantly affected the labor turnover series.
Data for the current month are preliminary.

Technical Note
Additional information concerning the preparation

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.

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 16 years of age and
over. The survey is conducted each month by the Bureau
of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed, including such characteristics
as age, sex, color, marital status, occupations, hours of
work, and duration of unemployment. The survey also
provides data on the characteristics and past work experience of those not in the labor force. The information
is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of
about 50,000 households, representing 449 areas in 863
counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50 States
and the District of Columbia. The data collected are based
on the activity or status reported for the calendar week
including the 12th of the month.

Data 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

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

insurance systems furnish a complete count of insured
unemployment among the two-thirds of the Nation's
labor force covered by unemployment insurance programs. Weekly reports, by State, are issued on the
number of initial claims, the volume and rate of insured
unemployment under State unemployment insurance programs, and the volume under programs of unemployment
compensation for Federal employees, ex-servicemen,
and railroad workers. These statistics are published by
the Manpower Administration, U.S. Department of Labor,
in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."




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 agricultural and nonagricultural industries is included. The payroll survey
covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls
of nonagricultural establishments.
Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population
without duplication since each person is classified as
employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job are counted
only once and are classified according to the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during
the survey week. In the figures based on establishment
records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each
time their names appear on payrolls.
Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey includes among the employed all persons who had jobs but
were not at work during the survey week—that is, were
not working but had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or because they were
taking time off for various other reasons, even if they
were not paid by their employers for the time off. In

101

are the inclusion of persons under 16 in the Statistical
Research Service (SRS) series and the treatment of dual
jobholders who are counted more than once if they worked
on more than one farm during the reporting period.
There are also wide differences in sampling techniques
and collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be
readily measured in terms of impact on differences in
level and trend of the two series.

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
noncompatability 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 have a job at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were waiting to be called back to a job
from which they had been laid off, regardless of whether
or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance.
Figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by
the Manpower A d m i n i s t r a t i o n of the Department of
Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit
rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not
covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local government, domestic service,
self employment, unpaid family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).

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.

Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonagricultural wage and salary workers are covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All workers in certain activities, such as
interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small
firms in covered industries are also excluded in 31
States. In general, these are establishments with less
than four-employees.

Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other characteristics of
the employed, the unemployed, and persons not in the
labor force, and related data are compiled for the BLS by
the Bureau of the Census in its Current Population
Survey (CPS). A detailed description of this survey
appears in ''Concepts and Methods Used in Manpower
Statistics from the Current Population Survey" (BLS Re-




1 02

These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years
and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of
the household 16 years of age and over. The* inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,

Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of the
month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 16 years
of age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are excluded from the population and labor
force statistics shown in this report. Data on members
of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the
categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total
labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
Each month, 50,000 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 2,250 of these households are visited
but interviews are not obtained because the occupants
are not found at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 4.5 percent. In addition to the 50,000 occupied units, there are 8,500 sample
units in an average mo nth which are visited but found to be
vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of the
sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides
for three-fourths of the sample to be common from one
month to the next, and one-half to be common with the
same month a year ago.

CONCEPTS

Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all as paid employees, in
their own business, profession, or farm, or who worked
15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise
operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those
who were not working but who had jobs or businesses
from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management
dispute, or personal reasons, whether or not they were
paid by their employers for the time off, and whether or
not they were seeking other jobs.
Each employed person is counted only once. Those who
held more than one job are counted in the job at which they
worked the greatest number of hours during the survey
week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are
not living on the premises of an Embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted
of work around the house (such as own home housework,
and painting or repairing own home) or volunteer work
for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.
Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did
not work during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job within the past 4 weeks, and who were
available for work during the survey week (except for
temporary illness). Also included as unemployed are
those who did not work at all, were available for work,
and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which
they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a
new wage or salary job within 30 days.




Duration of unemployment represents the length of
time (through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of full weeks since the
termination of their most recent employment. A period of
2 weeks or more during which a person was employed or
ceased looking for work is considered to break the continuity of the present-period of seeking work. Average
duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment
are divided into four major groups. (1) Job losers are
persons whose employment ended involuntarily who immediately began looking for work and persons on layoff.
(2) Job leavers are persons who quit or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily and immediately
began looking for work. (3) Reentrants are persons who
previously worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
longer but who were out of the labor force prior to beginning to look for work. (4) New entrants are persons
who never worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
longer.
The civilian labor force comprises the total of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria described above. The "total
labor force" also includes members of the Armed Forces
stationed either in the United States or abroad.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. This
measure can also be computed for groups within the labor
force classified by sex, age, marital status, color, etc.
The job-loser, job-leaver, reentrant, and new entrant
rates are each calculated as a percent of the civilian
labor force; the sum of the rates for the four groups
thus equals the total unemployment rate.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 years
and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are further classified as
"engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable
to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness,
and "other." The "other" group includes for the most
part retired persons, those reported as too old to work,
the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not
reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental
unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous
work experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for
a job at the time of interview, and reasons for not looking
for work are compiled on a quarterly basis. The detailed
questions for persons not in the labor force are asked
only in those households that are new entrants to the
sample and in those that are reentering the sample after
8 months1 absence.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the
employed apply to the job held in the survey week. Per103

sons 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 ajid 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.

cording to whether they usually work full or part
time.
Labor force time lost is a measure of man-hours
lost to the economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed
as a percent of potentially available man-hours.
It is computed by assuming: (1) that unemployed
persons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours, (2) that those looking for 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.

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.

ESTIMATING METHODS

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 classified ac-




Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of
the results for a given month become available simultaneously and are based on returns from the entire
panel of respondents. There are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark data on labor force,
employment, or unemployment. Therefore, revisions of
the historical data are not an inherent feature of this
statistical program.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed
to account for occupied sample households for which no
information was obtained because of absence, impassable
roads, refusals, or unavailability for other reasons. This
adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas
and, within these, for six groups—color (white and 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 a procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by
the known 1960 Census data on the color-residence
distribution of the population. This step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the 1960
Census between the color-residence distribution for the
Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the
sample proportions are weighted by independent current
estimates of the population by age, sex, and color.
These estimates are prepared by carrying forward the
most recent census data (1960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality, and migra-

1 04

tion between the United 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 of mo nth-to-mo nth changes especially and of the
levels for most items also.

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.

Nonagricultural employment

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.

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.

The figures presented in table B are to be used for
other characteristics and are approximations of the
standard errors of all such characteristics. They should
be interpreted as providing an indication of the order of
magnitude of the standard errors rather than as the
precise standard error for any specific item.
The standard error of the change in an item from
one month to the next month is more closely related to
the standard error of the monthly level for that item than
to the size of the specific mo nth-to-r 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.
Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total
number of persons working a specific number of hours
as 15,000,000, an increase of 500,000 over the previous
month. Linear interpolation in the first column of table B
shows that the standard error of 15,000,000 is about
133,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of
100 that the sample estimate differs by less than 133,000
from the figure which would have been obtained from a
complete count of the number of persons working the
given number of hours. Using the 133,000 as the standard
error of the monthly level in table C, it may be seen
that the standard error of the 500,000 increase is about
126,000.

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

Establishment Data
COLLECTION

Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonagricultural establishments, by industry and
geographic location.
Federal-State Cooperation

Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out a single employment or labor
turnover reporting form, which is then used for national,
State, and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of respondents and, together with the
use of identical techniques at the national and State
levels, insures maximum comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and
completeness. The States use the information to prepare




State and area series and then send the establishment
data to the BLS for use in preparing the national series.
Shuttle Schedules

Two types of data collection schedules are used:
Form BLS 790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll,
and Hours; and Form DL 1219— Monthly Report on Job
Openings and Labor Turnover. These schedules are of
the " s h u t t l e " type, with space for each month of the
calendar year. The c o l l e c t i n g agency returns the
schedule to the respondent each month so that the next
month's data can be entered. This procedure assures
maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting, since
the respondent can see the figures he has reported for
previous months.
Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of non-

1 06

agricultural establishments and, for most industries,
payroll and man-hours of production and related workers
or nonsupervisory workers for the pay period 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.
CONCEPTS
Industrial Classification

Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and
Form DL 1219 are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined
from information on annual sales'volume. This information is collected each year on a supplement to the
monthly 790 or 1219 report. For an establishment making
more than one product or engaging in mpre 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, except those for the Federal Government, refer to persons on establishment payrolls who
received pay for any part of the pay period which includes
the 12th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, employment figures represent the number of
persons who occupied positions on the last day of the*
calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if they
performed any service during the month.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed,
unpaid volunteer, or family workers, farm workers, and
domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of
corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; military personnel are
excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm),
on paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a
part of the pay period and are unemployed or on strike
during the rest of the period, are counted as employed.
Not counted as employed are persons who are laidooff,
on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period,
or who are hired but have not reported to work during
the period.
Industry Hours and Earnings

Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production"and related workers in manufacturing and mining, construction workers in
contract construction, and nonsupervisory employees in
the remaining nonagriculture components. For Federal




Government, hours and earnings relate to all* employees,
both supervisory and nonsupervisory. Terms are .defined
below. When the pay period reported is longer than 1
week, figures are reduced to a weekly basis.
Production and related workers include working
foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing,
assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling,
packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair,
janitorial and watchman services, product development,
auxiliary production for plant!s own use (e.g., power
plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees
in the contract construction division: working foremen,
journeymen, 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.
Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not
above the working supervisory level) such as office and
clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators,
drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social
workers, research aids, teachers, draftsmen, photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant workers,
custodial workers, attendants, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and
other employees whose services are closely associated
with those of the employees listed.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who
received pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the month. The payroll is reported
before deductions of any kind, e.g., for old-age and
unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding
tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly
by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly
each pay period), other pay not earned in pay period
. reported (e.g., retroactive pay), tips, and the value of
free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are
excluded. "Fringe benefits" (such as health and other
types of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc. paid
by the employer) are also excluded.
Man-hours cover man-hours paid for, during the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month, for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers. The manhours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and
for sick leave when pay is received directly from the
firm.
Overtime hours cover hours worked by production or
related workers for which overtime premiums were paid
because the hours were in excess of the number of hours
of either the straight-time workday or the workweek during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month.
Weekend and holiday hours are included only if overtime
1 07

premiums 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

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.

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

Hours and Earnings For Total Private Nonagricultural
Industries

This series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions except government. The principal source of payroll
data is Form BLS 790. Secondary source material such
as Employment and Wages (Manpower Administration),
County Business Patterns (Bureau of the Census), and
additional supporting information such as The Hospital
Guide, Part II, of the American Hospital Association and
special studies by the National Council of Churches
supplement data for certain industry groups within the
service division.
For a technical description of this series, see the
article, "Hours and Earnings for Workers in Private
Nonagricultural Industries," published in the May 1967
Issue of Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report
on the Labor Force.
Railroad Hours and Earnings

The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching and terminal companies) are based on monthly data
summarized in the M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate to all employees except
executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC group I)
who received pay during the month. Gross average hourly
earnings are computed by dividing total compensation
by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly basis, by the number of employees, as
defined above. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average
hourly earnings.

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

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

Spendable Average Weekly Earnings

Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars
are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social
security and income taxes from gross weekly earnings.
The amount of income tax liability depends on the number
of dependents supported by the worker and his marital
status, as well as on the .level of his gross income. To
reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed
for a worker with no dependents and a married worker
with three dependents. The computations are based on
gross average weekly earnings for all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industry division excluding
other income and income earned by other family members.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for
the current month. The level of earnings is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base
period (1957-59).

Average Overtime Hours

The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of
regular hours and for which overtime premiums were
paid. If an employee worked on a paid holiday at regular
rates, receiving as total compensation his holiday pay
plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no
overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not
necessarily move in the same direction from month-tomonth; for example, overtime premiums may be paid for
hours in excess of the straight-time workday although less
than a full week is worked. Diverse trends at the industry-group level also may be caused by a marked change




108

Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime

Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium
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
1| times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made
for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday
work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time
and one-half.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours

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.
0 the r sep arations, 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 las.t more than 30 consecutive
calendar days.

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.

Relationship to Employment Series

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

Labor Turnover

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

ESTIMATING METHODS

The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the
use of the "link relative" technique, which is a form of
ratio estimation, (2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and (3) the use of size
and regional stratification.
The "Link Relative" Technique

From a sample composed of establishments reporting
for both the previous and current months, the ratio of
current month employment to that of the previous month
is computed. This is called a link relative. The estimates
of employment (all employees, including production and
nonproduction workers together) for the current month
are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these "link relatives. In addition, small
bias correction factors are applied to selected employment estimates each month. The size of the bias correction factors is determined from past experience.
Other features of the general procedures are described
later in the table, Summary of Methods for Computing
Industry Statistics on Employment, Hours, Earnings, and
Labor Turnover. Further details are given in the tech-

Accessions are the total number of permanent and
temporary 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 access-ions, 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:

Earnings in Non-agricultural Industries and on Measurement of Labor Turnover, which are available upon request.
Size and Regional Stratification

A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified produc109

tion- 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.
Benchmark Adjustments

THE SAMPLE

Employment estimates are compared periodically
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
1967 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.
The primary sources of benchmark information are
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 nonagricultural
employment in the United States, are prepared under the
direction of the Manpower Administration. Benchmark
data for the residual are obtained from the records of the
Social Security Administration, the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and a number of other agencies in private
industry or government.
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series
of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark
and the preceding one, and the new benchmark for each
industry is then carried forward progressively to the
current month by use of the sample trends. Thus, under
this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the
level of employment; the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level. A comparison of
the actual amounts of revisions made in the last 3
benchmark years follows:

Design

The sampling plan used in the current employment
statistics program is known as "sampling proportionate
to average size of establishment." This design is an
optimum allocation design among strata since the sampling variance is proportional to the average size of
establishments. The universe of establishments is stratified first by industry and then within each industry by
size of establishment in terms of employment. For each
industry, the number of sample units is distributed
among the size class cells on the basis of average employment per establishment in each cell. In practice, this
is equivalent to distributing the predetermined total number of establishments required in the sample among the
cells on the basis of the ratio of employment in each cell
to total employment in the industry. Within each noncertainty stratum the sample members are selected at
random.
Under this type of design, large establishments fall
into the sample with certainty. The size of the samples
for the various industries is determined empirically
on the basis of experience and of cost considerations.
In a manufacturing industry in which a high proportion of
total employment is concentrated in relatively few
establishments, a large percentage of total employment
is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample
design for such industries provides for a complete
census of the larger establishments with only a few
chosen from among the smaller establishments or none
at all if the concentration of employment is great
enough. On the other hand, in an industry in which a
large proportion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all
large establishments and also for a substantial number
of the smaller ones. Many industries in the trade and
service divisions fall into this category. To keep the
sample to a size which can be handled by available
resources, it is necessary to accept samples in these
divisions with a smaller proportion of universe employment than is the case for most manufacturing industries.
Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show less fluctuation from
regular cyclical or seasonal patterns than establishments
in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples
(in terms of employment) generally produce reliable
estimates.
In the context of the BLS employment and labor
turnover statistics programs, with their emphasis on pro-

1 10

ducing 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 table below shows the approximate coverage, in
terms of employment, of the labor turnover sample.

Reliability of the Employment Estimates

The estimates derived from the establishment survey
may differ from the figures that would have been obtained
if it were possible to take a complete census using the
same schedules and procedures. The relatively large size
of the BLS establishment sample assures a high degree
of accuracy. However, since the link relative technique
requires the use of the previous month's estimate as the
base in computing the current month's estimate, small
sampling and response errors may cumulate over several
months. To remove this accumulated error, the estimates
are adjusted annually to new benchmarks. In addition to
the sampling and response errors, the benchmark revision
adjusts the estimates for changes in the industrial classification of individual establishments (resulting from
changes in their product which areonot reflected in the
levels of estimates until the data are adjusted to new
benchmarks). In fact, at the more detailed industry
levels, particularly within manufacturing,
changes
in classification are the major cause of benchmark adjustments. Another cause of differences, generally minor,
arises from improvements in the quality of the benchmark
data. (A detailed description of the March 1967 benchmark is available from the Bureau upon request.)
One measure of the reliability of ratio estimates is
the root mean square error (RMSE). This measure is the
standard deviation adjusted for the bias in ratio estimates
(RMSE =\/(Standard Deviation)2 + (Bias) 2 ). If the bias
is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate
from the sample would differ from its benchmark by less
than the root mean square error. The chances are about
19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice
the root mean square error.
Approximations of the root mean square errors (based
on the experience of the last several years) of differences
between final estimates and benchmarks are presented in
the following table.

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS

Assuming 12-month intervals between benchmark
revisions.
For the most recent months, estimates of employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary and are so

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
Earning sand Monthly Report on the Labor Force that con-

tains State and area annual averages (usually the May
issue). Qhanges 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.
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 date of availability of each series) in a
summary volume published annually by the BLS.

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 not earned rights to unemployment
insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local
government, domestic service, self-employment, unpaid
family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a
minimum size). 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




112

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 iadividual States. Persons wishing to receive a detailed
description of the nature, sources, inclusions and exclusions, and limitations of unemployment insurance data
should address their inquiries to Manpower Administration, Washington, D.C.

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 (1966), which may be. obtained
from the Bureau on request.
For establishment data, the seasonally adjusted
series on weekly hours and labor turnover rates for
industry groupings are computed by applying factors
directly to the corresponding unadjusted series. However, seasonally adjusted employment totals for all
employees and production workers by industry division
are obtained by summing seasonally adjusted data for
the component industries. 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 aggregate weekly
man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate
component industries and dividing by the 1957-59 base.

For each of the three major labor force components-agricultural and nonagricultural employment and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and
female workers under age 20 and age 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then
added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In order
to produce seasonally adjusted total employment and
civilian labor force data, the appropriate series are
aggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted
figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the
seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the sum of
twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).

The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current
data are based on a pattern shown by past experience.
These factors are revised in the light of the pattern
revealed by subsequent data. Revised seasonally adjusted
series for major components of the labor force based on
data through December 1968 are published in the February
1969 Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on
the Labor Force. Revisions will be made annually as each
additional year's data become available.

ATTENTION
As discussed in the Technical Note, the Bureau periodically adjusts the industry employment series to a recent benchmark to improve their accuracy. These adjustments may also
affect the hours and earnings series because employment levels are used as weights. Industry
data for all national series shown in this report have been adjusted to March 1967 benchmarks.
Data from April 1967 forward are subject to revision at the time of the next benchmark.
Beginning with the June 1968 and subsequent issues of Employment and Earnings and
Monthly Report on the Labor Force, the national data in sections B, C, and D supersede
those published in previous issues, as well as those appearing in the Handbook of Labor Statistics, 1968. Comparable data are published in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the
United States, 1909-68, BLS Bulletin 1312-6.
