Employment and Unemployment Developments,
May 1970

The unemployment rate increased for the fifth
consecutive month in May, while employment
declined. The overall unemployment rate rose
from 4.8 percent in April to 5.0 percent in May,
the highest since February 1965. The increase
occurred entirely among adult workers, particularly those seeking full-time work. The unemployment rate for workers covered by State unemployment insurance programs rose sharply
in May to 3.6 percent, up from 3.1 percent in
April.
Nonfarm p a y r o l l employment declined by
270,000 in May, after seasonal adjustment, although about 100,000 of the drop was due to increased strike activity. Nearly all of the decline
occurred in manufacturing, where employment
fell in both durable and nondurable goods. The
factory workweek and overtime hours continued
to edge down in May.
Unemployment
The number of unemployed persons was 3.4
million in May, down 170,000 from April. Unemployment usually falls more than this in May and,
as a result, joblessness was up by 160,000 after
seasonal adjustment.
Since December, unemployment has risen by
nearly 1.3 million—600,000 adult men, 425,000
adult women, and 225,000 teenagers. Of the increase, 60 percent were persons who had lost
their last jobs, 20 percent were reentrants to
the labor force, and 10 percent each were persons who had never worked before and job leavers. All of the April-to-May unemployment increase was among job losers.
Thus far this year, the unemployment rate has
risen from 3.5 percent in December to 5.0 percent in May, the sharpest increase for a 5-month
span in more than a decade. Most of the current
increase has been among full-time workers, although the part-time rate has also risen. The
May increase occurred entirely among full-time
workers, whose rate rose from 4.4 to 4.7 percent.




The unemployment rate for adult men rose
from 3.2 to 3.5 percent between April and May;
this rate has risen continuously for the last 6
months. The jobless rate for married men, at
2.6 percent in May, was up from 2.4 percent in
April and 1.5 percent a year ago. Rates for both
groups of workers equaled levels of early 1965.
After remaining virtually unchanged in April,
the unemployment rate for adult women rose
from 4.4 to 5*1 percent in May. Although increases in joblessness have not been as great
for adult women as for men over this past year,
the May rise also brought their rate to early1965 levels.
The teenage unemployment rate in May moved
down.from 15.7 to 14.3 percent, primarily among
girls. The teenage rate had risen sharply in
April, after changing very little in the first 3
months of this year. With the exception of April,
the May teenage rate was the highest in more
than 4 years.
The jobless rate for workers covered by State
unemployment insurance programs was 3.6percent in mid-May, up from 3.1 percent in midApril. The May rise of 0.5 percentage point was
the sharpest over-the-month increase since
November 1959 and followed an increase of 0.4
percentage point in April. At a seasonally adjusted level of 1.9 million in mid-May, the volume
of insured unemployment was up 300,000 from
mid-April and 900,000 from a year ago.
All of the increase in unemployment in May
occurred among white workers, whose jobless
rate rose from 4.3 to 4.6 percent. The Negro
jobless rate fell from 8.7 to 8.0 percent but was
still above the 7.1 rate of March. The ratio of the
Negro to white unemployment rates in May was
less than 2 to 1, as it had been in 7 out of the last
8 months. The over-the-month increase for
whites occurred among adult workers, while the
only significant decline for Negroes was among
teenagers.

Unemployment rates for craftsmen and operatives rose over the month, as jobless rates in
manufacturing and c o n s t r u c t i o n increased
markedly. Rates in these two industries had been
virtually unchanged for the past 3 months. At 5.2
percent, the manufacturing rate was 2 percentage
points above its year-ago level, while the unemployment rate in construction—11.9 percent—
was double the May 1969 rate.
With unemployment increasing for the fifth
consecutive month, the average jobless period
lengthened in May. The number of persons who
had been unemployed for 5 to 14 weeks rose by
140,000 (seasonally adjusted), and long-term
unemployment of 15 weeks or longer edged up
for the seventh consecutive month to 610,000.
The average (mean) duration of unemployment,
which had remained about steady from December
to April, was 9.0 weeks in May, slightly above the
level of the past 2 years but below the average of
most of the preceding decade.
The number of persons who were working part
time for economic reasons—such as slack work,
material shortages, could find only part-time
work, or started or stopped a job within the
survey week—fell by 110,000 in May to2.2 million; however, this followed a jump of 425,000
in April. The percent of labor force time lost
by the unemployed and by persons involuntarily
working part time rose from 5.1 percent in April
to 5.4 percent in May, its highest point since
April 1965. (Labor force time lost is a measure
of man-hours lost to the economy as a percent
of potentially available labor force man-hours.)
Civilian Labor Force
and Total Employment
The civilian labor force declined in May, falling by 320,000 to 85.8 million, after seasonal
adjustment. All of the decline occurred among
adult women, particularly those in the part-time
labor force. The May labor force decline followed
substantial rises in the December-March period.
Although the labor forces for adult men and teenagers were still above December levels (by
650,000 and 310,000, respectively), that for adult
women has fallen back to the December level.




Total employment, instead of increasing substantially as it usually does from April to May,
decreased and, after seasonal adjustment, was
down 475,000 to 78.4 million. All of the decline
occurred in nonagricultural employment.
Industry Payroll Employment
Nonagricultural p a y r o l l employment increased less than it usually does in May, and,
after seasonal adjustment, was down by 270,000.
Increased strike activity, mainly in contract construction and manufacturing, accounted for about
100,000 of this drop. (Workers on strike are not
counted as employed in the payroll employment
series, whereas they are classified as "employed—with a job but not at work" in the household series.)
As in recent months, the April-to-May cutback in employment occurred largely among the
manufacturing industries. Since September, employment in manufacturing has declined by
700,000. In contrast, employment in the serviceproducing industries has increased by 1.0 million
during the same period. Beginning in March,
however, e m p l o y m e n t gains posted in the
service-producing industries have been very
small and were due mostly to Federal government hiring of temporary Census workers.
The May decline of 225,000 (seasonally adjusted) in manufacturing reflected widespread
decreases among both durable and nondurable
goods industries. Employment in durable goods
fell by 130,000, while the nondurable goods industries posted their first sizeable over-themonth decline (90,000) since manufacturing employment began its current reductions. In durable
goods, cutbacks of about20,000-25,000 occurred
in the electrical equipment, primary metals,
machinery, and fabricated metal products industries. Within nondurable goods, the largest
decline occurred in the rubber products industry—35,000—due entirely to a strike.
Contract construction payrolls declined by
80,000 in May, after seasonal adjustment, with
three-fourths of the drop accounted for by increased strike activity. Employment in this

industry was about unchanged from a year ago,
after allowance for strikes.
Payroll employment in trade fell slightly in
May, the third consecutive small monthly decline. State and local government employment
rose by 40,000, partially due to the return of
strikers. There was little change in the other
service-producing industries.
Hours of Work
The workweek for all rank-and-file workers
on private nonfarm payrolls inched down to 37.2
hours, seasonally adjusted, in May. Since early
fall, average weekly hours have gradually drifted
downward, with the decline totaling 0.6 hour.
In manufacturing, average weekly hours edged
down by 0.1 hour, seasonally adjusted, between
April and May. Since December, the average
factory workweek has fallen by over threefourths of an hour. Over-the-month declines
were concentrated in the nondurable goods industries, with the largest drops registered in
textiles and rubber products and in machinery.
Factory overtime continued its downward
trend of recent months, falling by 0.1 hour in
May to 2.9 hours (seasonally adjusted). The
decline reflected reduced overtime hours in non-




durable goods. Since May a year ago, factory
overtime hours have dropped by 0.8 hour.
The only industry to post a substantial gain in
the workweek in May was transportation and
public utilities. At 40.5 hours after seasonal
adjustment, the average workweek increased by
0.3 hour between April and May. (Beginning with
this issue of Employment and Earnings, separate
data on the transportation and public utilities
and service industries have been added to the
series on hours and earnings. See tables C-l,
C-2, and C-7.)
Earnings
Average hourly earnings for production and
nonsupervisory workers on private payrolls rose
by 2 cents inMay to $3.20. Compared with a year
ago, hourly earnings were up by 19 cents, or
6.3 percent.
Average weekly earnings increased $1.06 between April and May to $118.72. Compared with
May 1969, weekly earnings have advanced by
$5.24, or 4.6 percent. Among the major industries, gains were posted in all industries except finance, insurance, and real estate.
Over the year ending in April 1970, average
weekly earnings rose by 5.3 percent; after adjustment for consumer price changes, however,
earnings were down by 0.7 percent.

BLS Establishment Employment Estimates
Revised to March 1969 Benchmark Levels
*by Carol Utter
The employment estimates from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics establishment payroll survey
have been adjusted to reflect complete employment counts as of March 1969. These adjustments
affect most of the published series and in general
mean that the employment series have been r e vised back to March 1968 (the previous complete
count) and forward to the current month's estimate. Estimates of hours and earnings and labor
turnover, which are weighted by employment
estimates, may also be revised as a result of the
changes in employment levels.
The March 1969 total benchmark count of 69
million workers on nonagricultural payrolls was
128,000 or 0.2 percent higher than the original
estimate. The adjustments amounted to less than
1 percent for all major divisions except mining,
which was revised by 1.5 percent. (See table 1.)
Benchmarks are an integral part of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics establishment survey program. They provide a precise measure of the
employment level. The monthly reports submitted by a sample of e m p l o y e r s estimate
month-to-month changes in that level. New
benchmark levels are determined in March of
each year for each of the most detailed industrial
classifications for which estimates are available.
The corresponding current estimates are adjusted to the new levels which then are aggregated through successively inclusive series to
total nonagricultural employment.
Monthly estimates of employment, hours, and
earnings are prepared and published in considerable industrial detail—the three-digit SIC level
of most nonmanufacturing industries and the
four-digit SIC level for many manufacturing industries. Of the the 201 three-digit categories
published, the employment estimates for only 17
*Of the Division of Industry Employment
Statistics.




were revised by 5 percent or more. The distribution of the 201 industry groups, by employment-size class and by percentage adjustment
required, illustrates the tendency for the percent
change to vary inversely with the size of employment. (See table 2.) '
About 30 percent of nonagricultural workers
are employed in manufacturing industries. The
importance of this division in size and influence
requires that estimates be published in 4-digit
SIC detail. The degree of accuracy that can be
assigned to the estimates over time is of primary interest. The March 1969 estimates and
benchmark levels for the major industry groups
in manufacturing appear in table 3. Of the 21
major groups in this division, 19 were revised
by less than 2 percent. Revisions were somewhat larger for some of the 4-digit component
industries, but two-thirds of these differed by
less than 3 percent, and only 12 percent differed
by 5 percent or more.
Why Estimates Differ From Benchmarks
One reason for differences between estimates
and benchmarks lies in the limitation of any
sample in representing a universe; that is, a
certain amount of error is to be expected
from sample-derived estimates. A complete
monthly count of employment would reflect
all changes in the level from month to month,
but complete coverage involving several million
reports each month would be prohibitively expensive and time consuming. Derived from a
sample of approximately 160,000 reports, the
BLS establishment series provides estimates
at moderate cost within a month following the
reference week.
A second reason for differences between
estimates and benchmarks is the procedure
used in keeping the industrial classification
of establishments up to date. Establishments are

classified by industry according to their major
activities which are determined by the principal
product produced or handled, or services rendered. Many establishments engage in more than
one activity. When the composition of their output or services changes so that what was once
a secondary product or activity becomes a primary one, the classification of the establishment
is changed to the industry of its new major activity. This change is not introduced into the employment estimates at the time it occurs but at
the time of the annual benchmark adjustment
based on product information reported annually.
Thus, differences between estimates andbenchmarks for an industry may result because the




estimates are tied to the former benchmark
levels and do not reflect intervening classification changes for individual establishments. At the
more detailed industry levels, particularly within manufacturing, changes in classification are
the major cause of benchmark adjustment.
A third reason for benchmark differences
arises from the use of bias adjustment factors
based on past experience. The benchmark linkrelative employment estimating technique, which
is a form of ratio estimation, results in biased
estimates, because this technique cannot measure the employment of new firms entering the
economy during the current month. The size of
the bias (the influence of the employment of new
firms) is considered negligible for most purposes; however, in the BLS establishment survey, for which the previous month's estimate is
used to compute the current month's estimate,
such bias would cumulate if counteracting steps
were not taken. Accordingly, small bias correction factors are applied to the employment
estimates each month. Because the size of these
factors must be determined by past experience,
small errors may arise if the rate at which new
firms enter an industry increases or decreases.
Between 1968 and 1969, the rate of entry of new
firms into manufacturing and service industries
was slightly greater than anticipated.

A fourth, g e n e r a l l y infrequent, cause of
benchmark differences arises from improvements in the quality of the benchmark data. The
most recent example of this type of revision was
the more comprehensive data on religious and
charitable institutions which the 1965benchmark
revision introduced into the employment levels.
In most instances of recent benchmark r e visions, the estimates for major industry divisions have varied from benchmarks by less
than 1 percent. A comparison of the size of
the revisions made since 1965 is presented
in table 4.
The difference between estimates and benchmarks is assumed to have accumulated in constant increments over the previous 12 months.
Most series, therefore, are adjusted by wedging
or tapering out the difference over the period
from the new benchmark to the preceding one,
12 months earlier. Estimates subsequent to the




new benchmark are revised by projecting the
new level forward to the current month using
the sample trend. The latter part of the r e vision is then subject to change when the
March 1970 benchmarks are established.

Benchmark Source Material
The most important sources of benchmark
information are the tabulations by industry and
employment-size group of reporting units, for
the first quarter of the calendar year, compiled
annually by the Manpower Administration. These
tabulations provide monthly employment counts
of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. Each calendar quarter, covered employers file a report with their
respective State employment security agencies.
This report includes total employment for the
week including the 12th for each month of the
quarter. State tabulations of these data, summarized according to industry, are provided
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics for benchmark
purposes. Unemployment insurance (UI) data
account for approximately three-fourths of the
total nonagricultural employment benchmark.
A number of industries, such as railroads,
private schools, hospitals, and nonprofit organizations, are exempt from mandatory UI coverage. In addition, the UI laws in 28 States (as of
January 1969) provide that employers of fewer
than a specified number (usually 4) of workers
be exempt from coverage. Benchmark data for
the latter as well as for certain nonprofit institutions are obtained from the tabulations of employment and taxable wages of employees
covered under social security laws as published
in County Business Patterns by the Bureau of
the Census.
For the remaining industries, benchmark
data are obtained from several public and
private agencies including the Interstate Commerce Commission (interstate railroads), the
American Hospital Association (private nonprofit hospitals), the U.S. Office of Education
and the National Catholic Welfare Conference
(private schools, colleges, and universities),
the U.S. Civil Service Commission (Federal
Government), and the Governments Division
of the Bureau of the Census (State and local
Government).
The Bureau's reporting sample is also an
important source of benchmark information.
Since sample reports are current and are r e -




viewed monthly, reporting errors are disclosed
that otherwise may remain undetected. The
industry classification of each sample establishment is reviewed annually on the basis of
information supplied by the employer. Changes
in industry classification of sample reports
often precede such changes in other sources
of information. Insofar as sample reports are
known to differ from the corresponding employer's reports included in other benchmark
source material, the data in the other source
are modified accordingly.
Relation of Benchmarks to Other Series
Benchmarks are not available for the hours
and earnings and labor turnover series. The
levels shown are derived from the BLS r e porting sample only. For primary estimating
cells, i.e., region and/or size strata within
the most detailed industry classifications, the
series are computed directly from reported
figures. Series for more inclusive categories,
however, require a weighting mechanism to
yield meaningful averages. The employment
benchmarks are used as weights in computing
the hours and earnings averages and labor
turnover rates for broader industry groupings.
Adjustment of the estimates to new benchmarks may result in reallocation of weights,
which, in turn, may change the averages. To
influence the average of a broad group, changes
in employment have to be relatively large
and must affect industries which have substantially higher or lower averages than the
other i n d u s t r i e s in their group. Generally
speaking, the introduction of new benchmarks
does not change hours and earnings and labor
turnover series for broader groupings by more
than 0.1 hour, 1 cent, or 0.1 per 100 rate, respectively. The changes caused by the 1969
benchmark revision are summarized in table 5.
Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Data
The BLS uses an adaption of the standard
ratio-to-moving average method for seasonally adjusting the employment and weekly hours
series. This method has aprovisionfor "moving"

adjustment factors to take account of changing
seasonal patterns. After another year of data
is added to a series, a number of the factors
for the last few previous years will change
slightly, even when the unadjusted figures for
previous years remain the same. Thus, at the
time of the annual benchmark revision, the
seasonally adjusted data are revised back for
a period of 10 years (in the present instance,
from January 1960 forward), whereas the unadjusted series are unchanged prior to April 1968.
The changes in the seasonally adjusted levels for
the earlier years, however, may be attributed
largely to differences due to rounding.
The BLS seasonal factor method was designed
for time series with steady or slowly changing
seasonal patterns and therefore does not reflect
adequately abrupt shifts in seasonally such as
those experienced by the transportation equipment industry. The major seasonal movement
in this industry is caused by the model changeover activities in the automobile industry which,
based on administrative decisions, may shift
the closing of plants backward and forward each
year by a few weeks or months. Consequently,
the seasonally adjusted employment series for
transportation equipment has not always r e flected the proper cyclical trends. In order to
provide more reasonable current seasonally adjusted estimates, the Bureau is introducing an
improvement in its method of seasonally adjusting the employment and production worker series
for this industry during the months generally affected by model changeover (July, August, and/or
September), which will remove the effect of the
plant closings for retooling. The historical data
have been revised back to 1954 using a comparable method. Similar special adjustments have
been used for many years in seasonally adjusting




the employee series for retail trade (to compensate for the shifting date of Easter) and for
Federal Government (to remove the effect of the
Christmas post office temporaries, whose number is determined by administrative decision
each year).
The revised seasonally adjusted series r e flect experience through February 1970. Seasonal factors for use in current adjustment
are presented on page
. A detailed description of the BLS seasonal factor method is given
in the booklet entitled The BLS Seasonal Factor
Method 1966, which may be obtained from the
Bureau on request.
New Series Published
This issue of Employment and Earnings introduces nonsupervisory worker, hours, and
earnings series for the transportation and public utilities and services divisions. This means
that hours and earnings estimates will be available for all divisions in the private nonagricultural economy. The new series appear in tables
B-2 (production workers), C-l, C-2, and C-7
(hours and earnings).
Employment for Some Industries
Not Published Monthly
Monthly employment estimates are published
for most of the significant industries in the
nonagricultural economy. Those industries for
which monthly data are not published either are
too small or do not meet established publication
standards, e.g., inadequate samples. Employment benchmarks for these industries are
presented in table 6.

SEASONAL FACTORS

which have
marks. These factors will be revised at the time the industry < , ,
_
and more current data are available. The seasonal movements are measured in order to adjust the data statistically for
such recurring events as warm and cold weather, crop-growing cycles, holidays, vacations, regular industry model changeover periods, and the like. These movements are generally the largest single component of month-to-month changes in
employment, hours, and labor turnover. The seasonal factors which follow enable the analyst to remove these influences
from the data in order to determine more basic trends.
These factors are to be used with data adjusted to the March 1969 benchmark.

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

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.

Databasedonestablishmentpay'rollrecords 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 30
million nonagriculture wage and salary workers. The
data relate to all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period which includes the
12th of the month.

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 Nation1 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."




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
122

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

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
theManpower 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).
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

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.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of
Commerce and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ
from BLS establishment statistics in the treatment of
central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrial classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes
interstate railroads and government, and coverage is
incomplete for some of the nonprofit activities.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonagricultural wage and salary workers are covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All workers in certain activities, such as
interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small
firms in covered industries are also excluded in 28
States (as of January 1, 1970). In general, these are
establishments with less than four employees.

Labor Force Data
port 313). This report is a v a i l a b l e from BLS on request.

COLLECTION AND COVERAGE

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




123

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,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.




Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the
employed apply to the job held in the survey week. Per124

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 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.

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-

Table A. Average standard error of major

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 month-to-month changes especially and of the
levels for most items also.

Rounding of Estimates

The sums of individual items may not always equal the
totals shown in the same tables because of independent
rounding of totals and components to the nearest thousand. Differences, however, are insignificant.

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 a r e 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

The standard error of the change in an item from
one month to the next month is more closely related to
the standard error of the monthly level for that item than
to the size of the specific month-to-month change itself.
Thus, in order to use the approximations to the standard
errors of mo nth-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

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.

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.

Establishment Data
COLLECTION

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

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

Shuttle Schedules

Two types of data collection schedules arje 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.

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




Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of non127

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.

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. Form DL 1219 provides
for the collection of information on the total number of
accessions and separations, by type, during the calendar
month, and was revised in January 1969 to provide for
the collection of job openings data as well.

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.

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 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, 1967.

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.
N on supervisory 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.

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.

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.

The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed,
unpaid volunteer, or family workers, farm workers, and
domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of
corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; military personnel are
excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm),
on paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a
part of the pay period and are unemployed or on strike
during the rest of the period, are counted as employed.
Not counted as employed are persons who are laid off,
on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period,
or who are hired but have not reported to work during
the period.

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.

Industry Hours and Earnings

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

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




128

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

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.
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.
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




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.
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.
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).
129

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.

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
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.

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 last more than 30 consecutive
calendar days.

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.

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 BureauTs
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 mont^h
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 technical notes—Chapter 2, Employment, Hours, and Earnings, and Chapter 3, Labor Turnover, reprinted from
the Handbook of Methods for Surveys and Studies, BLS
Bulletin 1458—which are available upon request.

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 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 produc130

Data for all months since the last benchmark to which
the series has been adjusted are subject to revision. To
provide users of the data with a convenient reference
source for the revised data, the BLS publishes as soon
as possible after each benchmark revision a summary
volume of employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics.

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
1969 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.

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.

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*.

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-

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.

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 =Y(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.

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

The estimates derive3 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 are not reflected in the
levels of estimates until the data are adjusted to new
benchmarks). In fact, at the more detailed industry
levels, particularly within manufacturing,
changes
in classification are the major cause of benchmark adjustments. Another cause of differences, generally minor,
arises from improvements in the quality of the benchmark
data. (A detailed description of the March 1969 benchmark is available from the Bureau upon request.)

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 that contains State and area annual averages
(usually the May issue). Changes in definitions are
noted as they occur. Additional industry detail may be
obtained from the State agencies listed on the inside
back cover of each issue. These statistics are based
on the same establishment reports used by BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sum of
the State figures may differ slightly from the equivalent
official U.S. totals on a national basis, because some
States have more recent benchmarks than others and because of the effects of differing industrial and geographic
stratification.

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE DATA
vacations. The rate of insured unemployment is the
number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent
of average covered employment in a 12-month period
ending 6 to 8 months prior to the week of reference. Initial
claims are notices filed by those losing jobs covered by
an unemployment insurance program thatthey are starting
a period of unemployment. A claimant who continues to
be unemployed a full week is then counted in the insured
unemployment figure.
Because of differences in State laws and procedures
under which unemployment insurance programs are operated, State unemployment rates generally indicate, but
do not precisely measure, differences among the individual States. Persons wishing to receive a detailed
description of the nature, sources, inclusions and exclusions, and limitations of unemployment insurance data
should address their inquiries to Manpower Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210.

Insured unemployment represents the number of persons reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment insurance program. It includes some persons
who are working part time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and household surveys. Excluded
are persons who have exhausted their benefit rights
and workers who have not earned rights to unemployment
insurance. In general, excluded from coverage are those
persons who worked in firms whose size excluded them
from the unemployment insurance laws, as well as many
persons engaged in agriculture, domestic service, unpaid
family work, selected nonprofit organizations, State and
local government and self-employment. Also excluded
from the insured unemployment count, but included as
employed in the household survey, are those persons who
earned no wages during the payroll period because they
were temporarily absent from their jobs due to taking
time off, illness and industrial disputes as well as unpaid

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal Government are based on a series which excludes
the Christmas temporary help employed by the Post
Office Department in December. The employment of these
workers constitutes the only significant seasonal change
in Federal Government employment during the winter
months. Furthermore, the volume of such employment
may change substantially from year to year because of
administrative decisions by the Post Office Department.
Hence, it was considered desirable to exclude this group
from the data upon which the seasonally adjusted series
is based.
The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishment data reflect experience through February 1970.
Seasonal factors to be used for current adjustment are
shown in the June 1970 Employment and Earnings, and
revisions will be made coincidental with the adjustment
of series to new benchmark levels.

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.
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 each of the three ma jor 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).

For establishment data, the seasonally adjusted
series on weekly hours and labor turnover rates for
industry groupings are computed by aDplying 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.

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 1969 are published in the February
1970 Employment and Earnings. 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
1969 benchmarks. Data from April 196^forward are subject to revision at the time of the next benchmark.
Beginning with the June 1970 and subsequent issues of Employment and Earnings, the national data in sections B,
C, and D supersede those published in previous issues, as well as those appearing in the Handbook of Labor Statistics,
1970. Comparable data will be published in Employment and Earnings, United States, 1909-70, BLS Bulletin 1312-7.
