EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTS
February 1961
THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: FEBRUARY 1961
This report contains the summary data on employment and unemployment released on March 7, shortly after compilation,
and includes additional data on labor force, industry employment, and factory hours and earnings0
A sharp decline in the number of workers on nonfarm payrolls was registered
in February, Large-scale layoffs among auto workers and continued reductions in
other durable goods industries, as well as cutbacks in construction and trade, were
reported. The decline of 375,000 was about triple the usual seasonal decline for
this month.
As reported on March 7, total employment, including the self-employed,
unpaid family workers, and domestics, was little changed over the month at 64. 7
million, about equal to the previous high for February.
Unemployment rose by 300,000 over the month to 5,7 million in February.
The jobless total usually rises moderately to reach a seasonal peak in February.
The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment, at 60 8 percent, was not significantly different from January or December, but was well above the 4. 8-percent rate of
a year ago© State insured unemployment rose by 200, 000 from mid-January to 3.4
million in the week ending February 18.
Unemployment in February, although up about seasonally from December,
was 1. 8 million higher than a year ago. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment, which takes account of growth in the labor force as well as normal seasonal
patterns in unemployment, was at its highest point since October 1958 but below
the 7-l/^percent rate reached earlier in that recession year. The volume of unemployment in February was the highest since the summer of 1941 when the civilian
labor force was about 12 million smaller*
Among the employed, there were 1. 7 million nonfarm workers reduced from
full time to short time in February because of business conditions. This total
was little changed over the month but was 700, 000 higher than in February a year
ago.
Nonfarm Payroll Employment
The number of workers on nonfarm payrolls dropped more than seasonally,
falling by 375, 000 over the month to 51. 3 million in February. Job losses were
fairly widespread, but the major declines were in automobiles and its supplier
industries, in construction, and in trade.
Manufacturing employment, which normally tends to edge up in February,
declined instead by 100, 000 to 15. 5 million. Job losses in transportation equipment and the related fabricated metals industries alone exceeded 90,000 and there
were small cutbacks (where seasonal increases are more common) in most other
durable goods industries. For the first time in a year, there was almost no employment change in primary metals, in constrast to relatively severe and persistent
declines up to this point. In the transportation equipment industry, employment
was at its lowest point for any month since 1951 except for the strike-affected month
of October 1958. In soft-goods manufacturing^changes over the month were mostly
seasonal.

* Insured under following programs: State unemployment insurance, unemployment compensation for Federal employees, veterans, ex-servicemen,
railroad workers (RRB) and temporary programs. (Through June 1959)
Beginning in January 1960. data include Alaska and Hawaii
Job losses were relatively severe in some industries other than manufacturing.
Construction employment dropped by almost 150, 000 over the month, about twice
the normal decline; weather conditions, although severe in some areas, were
relatively favorable for the Nation as a whole. Trade employment, which has been
faltering since the autumn, resumed its decline in February. Transportation
industries cut back employment relatively sharply in February, and mining
continued to edge down. Only in State and local governments did employment continue to expand.
Cutbacks this month brought the total decline in payroll employment to
950,000 over the past year. Reductions in manufacturing employment amounted to
over 1 million during the year, with four-fifths of the loss in durable goods
industries. However, virtually all manufacturing industries with the exception of
printing and chemicals showed employment losses over the year. Manufacturing
industries with the largest job losses were the metals and metal working group,
those connected with homebuilding (lumber, stone-clay-glass, and furniture) and
textiles and apparel© In most soft-goods industries, declines were relatively
moderate. Outside of manufacturing^the largest job losses were in construction
(down 150,000 over the year), transportation (130, 000), and mining (50, 000)o
The effects of recession were also felt in industries which had "previously
been the major source of new job growth. Employment in trade failed to exceed
its year-ago level for the first time since the beginning of 1959« Service employment, although still 50,000 above a year ago, has been showing progressively
smaller over-the-year gains since last fall. On the other hand, the Nation's school
systems have continued to be a major source of new job demand, and were primarily
responsible for the addition of more than 300, 000 jobs in State and local governments. Finance and insurance firms have also continued their steady growth,
adding 60,000 employees over the year.
Factory Hours and Earnings
The factory workweek remained unchanged over the month--in line with the
usual seasonal pattern--at 38. 8 hours. However, the workweek was 1 hour shorter
than a year ago and the lowest for any postwar February except 1958.
Since November, changes in the length of the workweek (seasonally adjusted)
have been erratic, and economic influences obscured by the effects of weather.
In December the workweek dropped sharply, in large part because of snowstorms,
only to rebound again in January©
Hourly and weekly earnings were steady over the month at $2. 32 and
$90. 02, respectively. Hourly earnings were 3 cents higher than a year ago,
but weekly earnings were down by more than $1.
Total Employment
The employed total was little changed over the month. Agricultural employment, at 4. 7 million, and nonagricultural employment (including the self-employed,
unpaid family workers, and domestics), at 59o 9 million, were not significantly
different from January levels. Both farm and nonfarm employment are at a
seasonal low during January and February.

Data for last two months are preliminary.
Over the year, there were a number of changes in the composition of the
employed. For example, there were 700,000 more women, and correspondingly
fewer men, in nonfarm employment than a year earlier. The decline among men
continued to be concentrated in the prime working age groups (25 to 44). Among
women, most of the increase was accounted for by those 45 years of age and over.
The losses among men were the net result of a 1. 3-million drop in bluecollar employment (mostly semiskilled and unskilled factory jobs) and a 600,000
increase in white-collar employment (chiefly in the professional and managerial
occupations). The gains among women were concentrated in white-collar and
service occupations, with the clerical group showing the largest increase. Women
with blue-collar jobs showed only moderate losses.
Full- and Part-time Employment
In nonfarm industries, the number on full-time schedules1 fell by 600, 000
over the month to 48. 3 million, a comparatively sharp drop for this time of year.
Full-time employment was 900, 000 below a year ago. Nearly all of the decline has
occurred among married men in the age brackets 20 to 44 years.

The number of regular full-time workers whose hours were cut below 35
for economic reasons was not significantly changed from January to February,
holding at 1.7 million. However, their number was 700,000 greater than a year ago
and at the highest February level in 7 years, except for 1958. On the average, these

U 7 million part-time workers had 25 hours of work during the survey week this
year, as compared with 39-1/2 hours for all nonfarm workers,.
Voluntary part-time workers--that is, the number holding regular part-time
jobs by choice or because personal circumstances prevented them from taking fulltime work--increased by one-half million to 6-1/2 million in February,, This group
usually rises only slightly in February. Voluntary part-time workers numbered
one-half million higher than a year age* continuing their long-term uptrend Women
accounted for four-fifths of the increase from February 1960o
Characteristics of the Unemployed
Short- and Long-Term Unemployment. The 50 7 million unemployed in February
included 2.1 million {36 percent) who had been seeking work for less than 5 weeks
at the time of the survey. The number of these short-term unemployed was down
slightly over the month. At the same time, the total jobless included 1. 6 million
(28 percent) out of work 15 weeks or longer, while the remaining 2 million were
unemployed 5 to 14 weeks. The number of long-term unemployed rose by 300, 000
over the month, and was 700, 000 above a year ago.
As compared with more prosperous periods, the extent of long-term unemployment was largeo In February 1957 (when overall unemployment was about
3 million), the short-term unemployed represented 43 percent of all jobless
persons; the long-term unemployed accounted for 20 percent.
Unemployment of Family Heads. Unemployment among married men continued
upward in February, reaching 2O4 million or 6-1/2 percent of their number in the
labor force© There were about a million more of these family heads out of work
than a year earlier. In February 1961, about 40 percent of all unemployed persons
were married men. On the basis of past studies, it can be estimated that in about
two-fifths of the families where the husband was unemployed, some other family
member (usually the wife) was employed. However, the earnings of these secondary
workers are on the average much lower than the earnings of employed male
family heads.
Industry of Last Job One of every ten factory workers was unemployed in
February, Most severely affected was the automobile industry where one-fourth of
the labor force was out of work. In primary metals (including steel), where
there was no change over the month, the unemployment rate remained high, with
one-sixth of the work force jobless 0 A year earlier, when recovery from the 1959
steel strike was still in progress, the unemployment rate in these two industries
was only 3 percent.
Altogether, the unemployment rate in the volatile durable goods manufacturing
sector was 12 percent as compared with 5 percent a year ago. Hard-goods factory
workers accounted for about two-fifths of the increase in unemployment over the
year.
The unemployment rate in construction was especially high in February
(24 percent), in part because construction activity is at a seasonal low in February,,
However, the unemployment rate in this industry was also higher than a year
earlier (18 percent). The jobless rates in most other major industry groups were
also higher than a year ago, the only exception being public administration
(standard governmental activities).

Insured Unemployment
State insured unemployment rose by 200, 000 between mid-January and midFebruary to 3.4 million** All but 10 States reported a rise in insured unemployment over the month. The largest increases occurred in Michigan (69,000), mainly
as a result of auto plant layoffs, and California (28,000), Other sizable insured
unemployment increases were reported by Illinois, Ohio, and Virginia, due for the
most part to seasonal curtailments in trade and in construction and other outdoor
activities.
The national rate of insured unemployment (not adjusted for seasonality) was
8O 4 percent in February compared with 7, 9 percent in January and 50 6 percent in
February I960. The highest rates were in Alaska (19. 7), Montana (15. l),
Michigan (13, 6), and West Virginia (13. 0). Ten other States, including Kentucky,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington, had rates in excess of 10 percent The rates
were up from a year earlier in all States except North Dakota where it remained
unchanged, Michigan!s rate was nearly three times that in February I960, and in
Ohio it was more than double.
It is estimated that the number of persons exhausting their State benefits
in February will show little change from the 193,000 in January. In February of
last year, exhaustions totaled 125,000o
Labor Force
The civilian labor force rose by 500,000 in February to 70.4 million. The
expansion between January and February has generally been rather modest,
but in 6 of the 14 years from 1947 to I960 it did amount to about 300, 000 or more<»
Nearly all of the pickup in the civilian labor force in February occurred
among women, and contributed to an increase in nonfarm employment among
women (mostly in service activities) as well as a slight rise in unemployment. It
is possible that the influx of women into the job market was caused, in part, by
the unemployment or part-time employment of family breadwinners and the need
to bolster family income.
Thus far in 1961, the labor force has evidenced an unusually large growth
from a year ago ( l , 7 million in January; 1. 9 million in February), These changes
are in contrast to a projected increase of about 1, 2 million on the basis of longterm trends. Actually, the labor force level in I960 was still 500,000 to 600,000
below trend and the recent gains have about brought j.t up to its expected level. It
is possible, however, that gains of this magnitude will not persist after the first
quarter; the labor force in early I960 was comparatively low in relation to
subsequent months.

published weekly by the Bureau of Employment Security.

Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Two
groups averaging about one-quarter million workers ,which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work) those
on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 days—were assigned to different classifications,
mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.
2Not available.
beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force,
total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected.
4
Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has
resulted in an increase of about half a million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in
the labor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciably
changed.

I INTRODUCTION j
hours during the survey week. In the figures based on establishment records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during tbt reporting period are counted each time
their names appear on payrolls.
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
two major sources: (1) household interviews and (2) payroll
reports from employers.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from
a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted
each month by the Bureau of the Census, for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor
force, i.e., the total number of persons Ik years of age and
over who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data on
their personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex,
color, marital status, occupations, hours of vork, and duration
of unemployment. The information is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about 35,000 households in 333 areas
throughout the country and is based on the activity or status
reported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the
month.
Hours of Vork
The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers.
In the household survey data, all persons with a Job but not at
work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on
paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are Included
and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid
during the reporting period.
Data based on establishment payroll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The payroll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours,
average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the
Nation, States, and metropolitan areas.
The figures are based on payroll reports from a
sample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 million
nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all
workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
Comparability of the household interview data with other series
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total
from the household survey Includes all persons who did not work
at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were
waiting to be called back to a Job from which they had been
laid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for
unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment Insurance
claims, prepared by the Bureau of Employment Security of the
Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted thtiv
benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance aystens (agriculture, State and local
government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work,
nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
Relation between the household and payroll series
The household and payroll data supplement one another,
each providing significant types of Information that the other
cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for
example, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences In definition and coverage, sources of
information, methods of collection, and estimating procedures.
Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasons
for discrepancies. The factors which have a differential effect
on levels and trends of the two series are described below:
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment
used in the household survey. For example, persons with a job
but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the
week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, but
are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey.
Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition
of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and other private household workers), self-employed
persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during
the survey week in family-operated enterprises. Employment in
both farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of
nonfarm establishments.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under Ik in the Agricultural Marketing
Service (AMS) series and the treatment of dual Jobholders who
are counted more than once if they worked on more than one farm
during the reporting period. There are also wide differences in
sampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods, which
cannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences in
level and trend of the two series.
Multiple jobholdlng. The household approach
provides information on the work status of the population without duplication since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding
more than one job are counted only once, and are classified according to the job at which they worked the greatest number of
Unpaid absences from Jobs. The household
survey includes among the employed all persons who had Jobs but
were not at work during the survey week--that is, were not
working or looking for work but had Jobs from which they were
temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation,
labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time off
for various other reasons, whether or not they were paid by
their employers for the time off. In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on paid sick leave, paid vacation, or
paid holiday are Included, but not those on leave without pay
for the entire payroll period.
Comparability of the payroll employment data with other series
Statistics on manufactures and businessf Bureau of
the Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ
from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from

Each employed person is counted only once. Those who
held more than one Job are counted in the Job at which they
worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week.
its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The major reason for lack of comparability is different treatment of
business units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in the
Industrial classification of establishments due to different
reporting patterns by multi-unit companies. There are also differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the
Census of Business excludes professional services, transportation companies, and financial establishments, vhile these are
included in BLS statistics.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not
living on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratory
farm workers).
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of
work around the house (such as own home housework, and painting
or repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce
and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establishment statistics in the units considered integral parts of an
establishment and in Industrial classification. In addition,
CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, interstate railroads, and government.
Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did not
work at all during the survey week and were looking for work,
regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did
not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a Job
from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary Job within 30 days (and were not
in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed
no work was available in their line of work or in the community.
Persons in this latter category will usually be residents of a
community in which there are only a few dominant industries
which were shut down during the survey week. Not Included in
this category are persons who say they were not looking for work
because they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any way.
Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs.
Not all nonfarm vage and salary workers are covered by the Unemployment Insurance programs. All workers in certain activities,
such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, are
excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are
also excluded in 32 States. In general, these are establishments with less than four employees.
LABOR FORCE DATA
The Unemployment Rate represents the number unemployed
as a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of the
employed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed for
groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital
status, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupation
groups, the labor-force base for the unemployment rate also represents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latter
classified according to industry and occupation of their latest
full-time civilian Job.
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics
of employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force data
are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in its
Current Population Survey (CPS). (A detailed description of
this survey appears in Concepts and Methods Used in the Current
Employment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau of
the Census, U. S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population
Reports, Series P-23, No. 5. This report is available from BLS
on request.)
Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time
(through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work or
would have been looking for work except for temporary illness,
or belief that no work was available in their line of work or in
the community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment
represents the number of full weeks since the termination of
their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic
mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted
vith a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the
civilian noninstitutional population 1^ years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain Information about the employment status of each member of the household Ik years of age
and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the
calendar week, Sunday ^through Saturday, ending nearest the 15th
of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance
with the criteria described above. The "total labor force" also
includes members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the
United States or abroad.
Inmates of institutions and persons under Ik years of
age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are
excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown in
this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
Not in Labor Force includes all civilians Ik years and
over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These
persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group Includes
for the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to
work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as
unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work
(less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor
force.
The sample for CPS is spread over 333 areas comprising 6^1 counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50
States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed interviews are obtained each month from about 35,000 households.
There are about 1,500 additional sample households from which
information should be collected but is not because the occupants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporarily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about k percent.
Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan
provides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to be
common from one month to the next, and one-half to be common
with the same month a year ago.
CONCEPTS
Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to the
Job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more Jobs are
classified in the Job at which they worked the greatest number
of hours during the survey week. The occupation and industry
groups used in data derived from the CPS household interviews
are defined as in the i960 Census of Population. Information on
the detailed categories included in these groups is available
upon request.
Employed Persons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, or
in their own business or profession, or on their own farm, or
who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in a
business operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those
who were not working or looking for work but who had Jobs or
businesses from which they were temporarily abseSt because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, or
because they were taking time off for various other reasons,
whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off.
The industrial classification system used in the Census
of Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhat
from that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by industry. Employment levels by industry from the household survey,
although useful for many analytical purposes, are not published
in order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ from
the payroll series because of differences in classification,
sampling variability, and other reasons. The Industry figures
from the household survey are used as a base for published
distributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other
2-E
characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, and
occupation.
mortality, and migration between the United States and other
countries.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and
salary workers," subdivided into private and government workers,
"self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage and
salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or pay
in kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit.
Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in
their own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15
hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a
member of the household to whom they are related by blood or
marriage.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month,a composite estimating procedure is
used which takes account of net changes from the previous month
for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the
saj&plt results for the current month. This procedure reduces
tfce sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes
but elso of the levels for most items.
Seasonal Adjustment
The seasonal adjustment method used for the
force 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. In the
case of unemployment, four age-sex groups (male and female
unemployed workers under age 20 and aged 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then added
to give a seasonally adjusted total unemployment figure. The
seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment (the
sum of the four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the
figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force. A
description of the basic method was published in the August
i960 Monthly tabor Review; the method for unemployment is discussed on page xii of the February 1961 issue of Employment
and Earnings.
Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example, a person
who normally works ^0 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 3^ hours are designated as working "part time."
Part-time workers are classified by their usual status at their
present Job (either full time or part time) and by their reason
for working part time during the survey week (economic or other
reasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material
shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination
of job during the week, and inability to find full-time work.
"Other reasons" include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for
full-time work and full-time worker only during peak season.
Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of
the labor force to be applied to data for 1959 and later are
shown in table A. Seasonally adjusted aggreeates for these and
other major series for the period July 1948 through December
i960 are shown on pages xiii through xxiii of the February 1961
issue. These factors and seasonally adjusted data replace
those published in BLS Special Labor Force Report No. 8, "New
Seasonal Adjustment Factors for Labor Force Components."
ESTIMATING METHODS
The estimating procedure is essentially one of using
sample results to obtain percentages of the population in a
given category. The published estimates are then obtained by
multiplying these percentage_distributions by independent estimates of the population. The principle steps involved are shown
below. Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of the
re%ults for a given month become available simultaneously and
are based on returns from the entire panel of respondents.
£here are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark
data on labor force, employment, or unemployment. Therefore, revisions of the historical data are not an inherent feature of
this statistical program.
1. Honinterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to
account for occupied sample1 households for which no information
was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or
unavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six
groups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence
categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5
percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance,
from that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics as
age, color, sex, and residence. Since these population characteristics are closely correlated with labor force participation
and other principal measurements made from the sample, the
latter estimates can be substantially improved when weighted
appropriately by the known distribution of these population
characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of
ratio estimates as follows:

Reliability of the Estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the
known 1950 Census data on the color-residence distribution of
the population. This step takes into account the differences
existing at the time of the 1950 Census between the colorresidence distribution for the Ration and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step,
the sample proportions are weighted by independent current estimates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimates
are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data
(1950) to take account of subsequent aging of the population,
Table A. Seasonal adjustment factors for the labor force and
major components, to be used for the period 1959-61
3-E
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that might occur by chance because
only a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are
about two out of three that an estimate from the sample would
differ from a complete census by less than the standard error.
The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be
less than twice the standard error.
Table B shows the average standard error for the major
employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12
recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are
also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of
change for consecutive months is also shown in table B. The
standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.

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

The standard error of the change in an item from one
month to the next month i s more closely related to the standard
error of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the
specific month-to-month change i t s e l f . Thus, in order to use
the approximations to the standard errors of month-to-month
changes as presented in table D, i t i s f i r s t necessary to obtain
the standard error of the monthly level of the item in table C,
and then find the standard error of the month-to-month change in
table D corresponding to this standard error of level. It
should be noted that table D applies to estimates of change between 2 consecutive months. For changes between the current
month and the same month last year, the standard errors of level
shown in table C are acceptable approximations.

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 f i r s t column of table C shows that
the standard error of 15,000,000 i s about 160,000. Consequently,
the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the figure which would
have been obtained from a complete count of the number of persons working the given number of hours would have differed by
less than 160,000 from the sample estimate. Using the 160,000

ESTABLISHMENT DATA
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in
nonfarm establishments, by geographic location.
Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out only 1 employment or labor turnover
schedule, which is then used for national, State, and area
estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of
respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques
at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic
comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare State and
area series and then send the data to the BLS for use in preparing the national series. The BLS and the Bureau of Employment Security Jointly finance the current employment statistics
program in 1*3 States, the turnover program in Ul States.
Labor Turnover
Labor turnover reports are received from approximately
10,500 establishments in the manufacturing, mining, and communication industries (see table below). The following manufacturing industries are excluded from the labor turnover sample:
Printing, publishing, and allied industries (since April 19^3);
canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods;
women's and misses' outerwear; and fertilizer.
Shuttle Schedules

The Form BLS 790 is used to collect employment, payroll, and man-hours data, Form 1219 labor turnover data. Both
schedules are of the "shuttle" type, with space for each month
of the calendar year.
Industry
The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number
of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments for the pay period ending nearest the 15th
of each month. The labor turnover schedule provides for the
collection of information on the total number of accessions and
separations, by type, during the calendar month.

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

CONCEPTS
Industry Employment
Prior to publication of State and area data for
January 1959, all national, State, and area employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover series were classified in accordance with the following documents: (1) For manufacturing,
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Volume I, Bureau of
the Budget, 191*5, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial
Classification Code, Social Security Board, 19**2. Beginning
with January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958), State and area
series are classified under the revised Standard Industrial
Classification Manual published in 1957. The national industry
statistics will be converted to the 1957 SIC early in 1961.
Employment data for all except Federal Government
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
For Federal Government establishments, current data generally
refer to persons who received pay for the last day of the month.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in
households. Salaried officers of corporations are included.
Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal
military personnel are shown s e p a r a t e ^ but their number is
excluded from total nonagricultural employment.
COVERAGE
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), paid
holiday, or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the pay
period and are unemployed or on strike during the rest of the
period, are counted as emplfiyed. Persons are not counted as
employed who are laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike
for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to
work during the period.
Employment, Hours, and Earnings
Monthly reports on employment and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours are obtained from approximately
180,000 establishments. The table below shows the approximate
proportion of total employment in each industry division
covered by the group of establishments furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual industries within
the division may vary from the proportions shown.

Employment estimates are periodically compared with
complete counts of employment in the various industries defined
as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indicated by the total counts or benchmarks. The comparison made
for the first 3 months of 1957, the last benchmark adjustment,
resulted in changes amounting to 0.5 percent of all nonagricultural employment, identical with the extent of the adjustment
to the first quarter 1956 benchmark. The changes were less
than 0.5 percent for three of the eight major industry divisions; under 2 percent for two other divisions; and 3.2, 3.3,
and 6.1* percent for the remaining three divisions. The manufacturing total was changed by only 0.1 percent for the second
successive year. Within manufacturing, the benchmark and estimate differed by 1.0 percent or less in 39 of the 132 individual industries, 1*1 industries were adjusted by 1.1 to 2.5 percent, and an additional 27 industries differed by 2.6-5.0
percent. One significant cause of differences between the
benchmark and estimate is the change in industrial classification of individual firms, which is usually not reflected in BLS
estimates until they are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other
causes are sampling and response errors.
Employees
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled
by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under
State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are pre- .
pared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments
exempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of their
63
1/ Since some firms do not report payroll and man-hour information, hours and earnings estimates may be based on a slightly
smaller sample than employment estimates.
2/ State and area estimates of Federal employment are based on
2,300 reports covering 1,1*30,000 employees, collected through
the BLS-State cooperative program.
5-B
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly exclvded from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a
variety of other sources.
Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, reflecting not
only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates, but also
such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift
work, and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive
plan. Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and
low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual
establishments also affect the general earnings averages.
Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in
average hourly earnings for individual industries.
The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark quarter
(the first quarter of the year) are compared with the new
benchmark levels, industry by industry. Where revisions are
necessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between the new
benchmark and the preceding one. The new benchmark for each industry is then projected to the current month by use of the
sample trends. Under this procedure, the benchmark is used to
establish the level of employment while the sample is used to
measure the month-to-month changes in the level.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated
period of time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for a
given unit of work or time. The earnings series, however, does
not measure the level of total labor costs on the part of the
employer since the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses,
retroactive items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees
not covered under the production-worker or nonsupervisoryemployee definitions.
Seasonal Adjustment
Employment series for many industries reflect a regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be measured on the
basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the
change in employment which can be ascribed to usual seasonal
variation, it is possible to clarify the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted employment aggregates are published. These estimates are derived by
the use of factors based on free-hand adjustments of 12-month
moving averages. Seasonal factors are available on request.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross
average hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of
the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes,
labor turnover, and absenteeism.
The new adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving
average method presently used for the labor force and weekly
hours series (see pages 3-E and 7-E) will eventually be applied
to the industry employment series. In order to avoid an interim
revision, the shift to the new seasonal adjustment method for
the latter series will be made at the time the series are converted to the 1957 Standard Industrial Classification in 196l.
Average Weekly Hours
The workweek information relates to the average hours
for which pay was received, and is different from standard or
scheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover,
part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to be
lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component
industries.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers or
nonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. When
the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures are
reduced to a weekly basis.
Average Overtime Hours
Production and Related Workers include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and
trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing,
shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services,
product development, auxiliary production for plant's own use
(e.g., power plant), and recordkeeping and other services
closely associated with the above production operations.
The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of regular
hour8 and for which premium payments were made. If an employee
works on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total
compensation his holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours
worked that day, no overtjbne hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily
move in the same direction from month to month; for example,
premiums may be paid for hours in excess of the straight -time
workday although less than a full week is worked. Diverse
trends on the industry-group level may also be caused by a
marked change in gross hours for a component industry where
little or no overtime was worked in both the previous and current months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same influence on
overtime hours as on.gross hours.
Nonsupervisory Employees include employees (not above
the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical
workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, Janitors, watchmen,
and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose
services are closely associated with those of the employees
listed.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the
15th of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions
of any kind, e.g., old-age and unemployment insurance, group
insurance, withholding tax, bonds, and union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave
paid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid
regularly each pay period), other pay not earned in pay period
reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent,
fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded.
Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars
are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security and
income taxes from gross weekly earnings. The amount of income
tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by
the worker, as well as on the level of his gross income. To
reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed for
two types of income receivers—a worker with no dependents, and
a worker with three dependents. The computations are based on
the gross average weekly earnings for all production and related workers in manufacturing, mining, or contract construction without regard to marital status, family composition, or
total family income.
Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, during
the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for production, construction, and nonsupervisory workers. The manhours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for
sick leave when pay is received directly from the firm.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earning! average for the current
month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 19^7-^9
dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since
the base period.
Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of production and related workers during the pay period ending
nearest the. 15th of the month. Overtime hours are those for
which premiums were paid because the hours were in excess of
the number of hours of either the straight-time workday or
workweek. Weekend and holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums
were paid are excluded.
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime
6-E
pay are computed by dividing the total production-worker" "payroll for the industry group by the sum of total productionworker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours.
Prior to January 1956, data were based on the application of
adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as
described in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-51«-O).
Both methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid
for at one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as
holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than
time and one-half.
absences, if on the last day of the month the person has W e n
absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, Initiated
by the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations of
employment because of "discharge, permanent disability, death,
retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company,
and entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than
30 consecutive calendar days.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Houra
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours
are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 19^7-^9 period. The man-hour aggregates
are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker
employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of gross
average weekly earnings and production-worker employment.
Railroad Hours and Earnings
The figures for Class I railroads (excluding switching
and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in
the M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate to all employees who received pay during the aonth except
executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC Group I ) .
Gross average hourly earnings are computed by dividing total
compensation by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are
obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced
to a weekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average
weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Seasonal adjustment
Seasonally adjusted average weekly hours for selected
industries were introduced in the July i960 issue of Employment
and Earnings. The new adaptation of the standard ratio-tomoving average method used for the labor force series (see page
3-E) was also used to adjust the weekly hours data for
seasonality.
Labor Turnover
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employment status with respect to
individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a
calendar month, Is divided into two broad types: Accessions
(new hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees, whether
full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive,
office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers.
Transfers to another establishment of the company are included
beginning with January 1959-
Separations are terminations of employment during the \
calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,
layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized
7-E
Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll' including both new and
rehired employees.
Hew hires are temporary or permanent additions to the
employment roll of former employees not recalled by the employer, or persons who have never before been employed in the
establishment, except for those transferred from other establishments of the company.
Other accessions, which are not published separately
but are included in total accessions, are all additions to the
employment roll which are not classified as new hires.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing Industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not
comparable with the changes shown In the Bureau's employment
series for the following reasons: (l) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of
the month; (2) the turnover sample excludes certain industries
(see Coverage, p. 5-E); (3) plants on strike are not included in
the turnover computations beginning with the month the strike
starts through the month the workers return; the influence of
such stoppages is reflected, however, In the employment figures.
STATISTICS FOR STATES A N D AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor
turnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in
cooperation with BLS. Additional industry detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed on the inside back cover.
These statistics are based on the same establishment reports
used by BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment,
the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from the
equivalent official U.S. totals because of differences in the
timing of benchmark adjustments, slightly varying methods of
computation, and, since January 1959/ & different classification system. (See Industrial Classification, p. 5-E.)
For Alaska and Hawaii, satisfactory employment
estimates cannot be derived by subtracting the U.S. totals
without Alaska and Hawaii from the totals including' the 2 new
States.
