EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTS
February
1962
THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: FEBRUARY 1962
Gains in manufacturing employment and the workweek were the outstanding features in the sharply improved job situation in February.
Job increases in manufacturing, amounting to 55,000 (almost 100,000
on a seasonally adjusted basis), were concentrated in the metals and metal using
industries. In addition, construction employment declined by less than the usual
amount in February, after losses in January attributable largely to the unusually
severe weather. As a result, the overall number of workers on nonfarm payrolls,
which normally drops at this time of year, remained steady at 53. 7 million in
February. This total was at a record for the month.
The factory workweek, which had dropped sharply in January, rose by
0. 3 hour to 40. 0 hours in February, the highest level for this month since 1957.
Both average weekly and hourly earnings remained substantially unchanged
over the month. Weekly earnings, at about $95, were almost $6 higher than a
year ago.
As reported on March 7, unemployment, which normally shows little
change at this time of year, declined by 120, 000 over the month to 4. 5 million in
February, and the seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment dipped to 5. 6 percent
from 5. 8 percent a month earlier. This was the lowest rate for any month since
July 1960.
State insured unemployment decreased by 100, 000 from mid-January to
2. 4 million in mid-February.
Total employment rose sharply over the month (by 700, 000) to 65. 8
million in February, showing better than seasonal gains following the unusually
bad weather of the January survey week.
i
Total nonagricultural employment, including the self-employed, unpaid
family workers, and domestics, was up by 600, 000 over the month to 61. 2 million
in February, although little change is normally expected in this period. Both this
total, and the number of workers on nonfarm payrolls were about 1-1/4 million
above their levels a year ago.
The civilian labor force rose by 600,000 in February (much more than
seasonally) but was no larger than its relatively high level a year ago. The total
labor force, including the Armed Forces, was about 300,000 higher than in
February 1961.

Nonfarm Payroll Employment
The number of workers on nonfarm payrolls was steady at 53. 7 million
between January and February, instead of showing a seasonal decline of about
250, 000 usual for this time of year.
Manufacturing employment edged up by 55, 000 over the month to 16.4
million in February reflecting mainly increases where losses are normal in
steel, electrical equipment, fabricated metals, machinery, and rubber. Gains
on a seasonally adjusted basis in the transportation equipment industry resulted
not only from improvement in aircraft and automobiles but also from the return
of 6, 000 Studebaker workers who had been on strike in January.
The seasonally adjusted gain in construction employment (where job
levels were about unchanged over the month at 2. 3 million instead of declining
seasonally) represented a partial recovery from the weather-connected losses in
January.
From the low point of the recession 12 months ago, nonfarm payroll
employment has risen by 1. 2 million (seasonally adjusted), and is back to the level
of May I960, when the general downturn commenced. However, of the major
industries which experienced employment cutbacks during the recession, only
trade has regained its May I960 level, while manufacturing employment is still
about 450, 000 jobs shy of that point even after regaining about 600, 000 jobs during
the recovery period. In construction, mining, and transportation, employment
has continued to drop even during the general recovery period. The job total in
this group of industries is 100, 000 lower than at the trough of the recession a year
ago and 450, 000 lower than in May I960, despite the February rebound in construction employment. When manufacturing is included with these industries, the
unrecovered job losses since the spring of 1960 total 900,000. By contrast, there
has been a net gain of more than 1 million jobs in the service-producing sector,
half of which has been in State and local government employment, and the
remainder in the service and finance industries.
Factory Hours and Earnings
The factory workweek increased by 0. 3 hour to 40. 0 hours in February,
instead of showing its usual seasonal decline. The gain this month followed 2
months of decline on a seasonally adjusted basis (with unusually bad weather a
factor in January).
The February workweek of 40 hours was 1 hour longer than a year ago
and 0. 2 hour longer than 2 years ago. Overtime averaged 2. 5 hours this February,
compared with 1.9 a year ago and 2. 6 in February I960.
Average weekly earnings of factory production workers were approximately unchanged over the month at $95. 20 in February, and $5. 89 higher than a
year ago. Hourly earnings, at $2. 38, were 9 cents, or 4 percent, higher than in
February 1961.

Characteristics of the Unemployed
Duration of Unemployment, Virtually all of the improvement in unemployment over the month occurred among those jobless less than 5 weeks. This total
went down by nearly 500, 000 to 1. 5 million in February; normal seasonal expectations are for a drop of only 250, 000. Short-term unemployment was also half
a million lower than a year ago, and almost down to the level of February I960.
The short-term unemployed constituted about 40 percent of the total
jobless last month (after allowance for seasonal variation), compared with 50
percent before the downturn in 1960. On the other hand, long-term unemployment
(15 weeks or longer) has moved up to about 32 percent of total unemployment from
only 25 percent prior to the recession.
Over the month, long-term unemployment rose by 200,000 to 1.4 million
in February, about the usual increase for this time of year. The number of
long-term jobless was 200, 000 below its year-ago level, with all of that decline
among those unemployed 15 to 26 weeks. The number of persons out of work for
more than half a year (700, 000) was unchanged from February 1961.
The trend in very long-term unemployment during 1961-62 has been
similar to that recorded during the 1958-59 recovery. In both cycles, the number
unemployed half a year or longer reached a peak of about 1 million some 4 months
after the trough in economic activity. It declined by about 250, 000 over the next
8 months but in both years (1962 and 1959) remained substantially above prerecession levels even after a full 12 months of economic recovery.
Age and Sex. The recovery in unemployment during the past year has
been widespread throughout the labor force. Among men, the rate of unemployment
h.3,s come down since February 1961 in every age group; among women, it has
dropped in every group except those over 65.
Adult men 20 years of age and over, who experienced sharp increases in
unemployment on the way into the downswing, have shown a substantial recovery.
There were 2. 5 million jobless adult men in February 1962, compared with
3. 4 million a year ago and 2. 3 million 2 years ago. On a seasonally adjusted
basis, the unemployment rate for these workers has been coming down since last
August, when it was still 6 percent, close to its recession high. In February 1962
their rate was 4. 5 percent, down from 4. 7 percent in January and 5. 9 percent a
year ago. (See chart).
Insured Unemployment
State insured unemployment, which usually shows a small rise between
January and February, moved down by 100, 000 over the period to 2, 380, 000. A
seasonal pickup in apparel plants and scattered recalls in durable goods, including
metals and machinery, exerted a downward influence on the figures. Preliminary
data indicate that the number of persons exhausting their State benefit rights
dropped from 180, 000 in January to an estimated 155, 000 in February.

In addition to the insured unemployed under the regular State programs,
314,000 persons who had exhausted their State benefits were insured under the
Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation program (TEC) in February.
This compared with 341, 000 in January.
Insured joblessness was down in 34 States over the month. The recall
of apparel workers for work on spring styles was primarily responsible for the
largest decline--35, 000 in New York--and was an important factor in the
decreases of 20,000 in'Pennsylvania and 14,000 in New Jersey. These three
States, however, indicated somewhat larger numbers of unemployed construction
workers. Cutbacks in the construction, food processing, trade, and automobile
industries, contributed to the only sizable rise in insured joblessness—35, 000 in
California, Temporary layoffs in automobile plants accounted for a rise of 10,000
in Michigan and a small increase in Indiana.
The rate of insured unemployment (not seasonally adjusted) was 5. 9
percent in February, compared with 6. 2 percent in January and 8.4 percent a year
ago. The rates in four States this January were 9 percent or above--Ala ska
(17.4), North Dakota ( l l . 5), Montana (9.7), and Arkansas (9.0). Among the large
industrial States, California and Pennsylvania had rates well above the national
average (7.4 and 7.5 percent, respectively), while Illinois, Indiana, and Texas
reported rates below 5 percent.
Full- and Part-time Employment
The number of nonfarm workers on full-time schedules, at 49. 7 million
in February, was unchanged over the month. Full-time employment has risen by
1.4 million since the recession trough a year ago. In the 1958 recession, the cuts
in full time were much deeper, but the recovery was also stronger; in both 1959
and 1962, after a full year of recovery, full-time employment was slightly above
prerecession levels (seasonally adjusted).
The number on part time for economic reasons, which had been declining
since last August (seasonally adjusted), increased slightly over the month. However,
at 2. 2 million, or 3 percent of the civilian labor force, this group was nearly a
million below a year ago and down to prerecession levels.
The most notable gain in full-time employment over the year occurred
among semiskilled workers in durable goods manufacturing industries. These
are the workers who experienced the heaviest cutbacks in hours and layoffs during
the downswing in I960 and early 1961.

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.

Beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force,
total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected.
•Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has
resulted in an increase of about half a million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in
the labor for.ce, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciably
changed.

Explanatory Notes
Additional information concerning the preparation of the
labor force,
employment,
hours and earnings, and labor
turnover series—concepts and scope, survey methods, and
limitations—is contained in technical notes for each of
these series, available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics free of charge.

INTRODUCTION
hours during the survey week. In the figures based on establishment records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each time
their names appear on payrolls.
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
two major sources: (l) household interviews and (2) payroll
reports from employers.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from
a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted
each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor
force, i.e., the total number of persons 14 years of age and
over who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data on
their personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex,
color, marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration
of unemployment. The information is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about 35VOOO 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 Work
The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers.
In the household survey data, all persons with a job but not at
work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on
paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included
and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid
during the reporting period.
Data based on establishment payroll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The payroll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours,
average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the
Nation, States, and metropolitan areas.
Comparability of the household interview data with other series
The figures are based on payroll reports from a
sample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 million
nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all
workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
Relation between the household and payroll series
The household and payroll data supplement one another,
each providing significant types of information that the other
cannot suitably supply. 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:
Bnployment
insurance data. The unemployed total
from the household survey includes all persons who did not work
atfl-iiduring 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 Bnployment Security of the
Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their
benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local
government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work,
nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment
used in the household survey. For example, persons with a job
but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the
week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, but
are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under lk 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.
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 £n 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.
.tiple jobholding. The household approach
Multiple
provides information on1 the
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 business, Bureau of
the Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ
from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from
1-E
its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and. the censuses of business establishments. The 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 multiunit companies. There are also differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the
Census of Business excludes professional services, transportation companies, and financial establishments, while these are
included in BLS statistics.
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 (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.
Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs.
Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the Unemployment Insurance programs. All workers in certain activities,
such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, are
excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are
also excluded in 32 States. In general, these are establishments with less than four employees.
LABOR FORCE DATA
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics
of employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force data
are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in its
Current Population Survey (CPS). (A detailed description of
this survey appears in Concepts and 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 B-23, No. 5» This report is available from BLS
on request.)
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted
with a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the
civilian noninstitutional population 1^ years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household 1^ years of age
and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the
calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15th
of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under Ik years of
age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are
excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown in
this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
The sample for 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.
Rate represents the number unemployed
The UnempL
as a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of the
employed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed for
groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital
status, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupation
groups, the labor force base for the unemployment rate also represents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latter
classified according to industry and occupation of their latest
full-time civilian job.
Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time
(through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work or
would have been looking for work except for temporary illness,
or belief that no work was available in their line of work or in
the community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment
represents the number of full weeks since the termination of
their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic
mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance
with the criteria described above. The "total labor force" also
includes members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the
United States or abroad.
Mot in Labor Force includes all civilians 1^ years and
over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These
persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework, " "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes
for the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to
work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as
unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work
(less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor
force.
Occupation, Industry^ and Class of Worker apply to the
job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are
classified in the job at which they worked the greatest number
of hours during the survey week. The occupation and industry
groups used in data derived from the CPS household interviews
are defined as in the 1950 Census of Population. Information on
the detailed categories included in these groups is available
upon request.
CONCEPTS
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 absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, or
because they were taking time off for various other reasons,
whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time
off.
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. Mot included in
this category are persons who say they were not looking for work
because they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any
way.
The 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,
occupation.
and
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 payin 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.
Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example, a person
who normally works kO hours a week but who was off on the
Veterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even
•r though he was paid for the holiday.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure is
used which takes account of net changes from the previous month
for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the
sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces
the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes
but also of the levels for most items.
Reliability of the Estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that might occur by chance because
only a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are
about two out of three that an estimate from the sample would
differ from a complete census by less than the standard error.
The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be
less than twice the standard error.
For persons working in more than one job, the figures
relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the
week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job.
Bsrsons 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."
Ikrt-time workers are classified by their usual status at their
present job (either full time or part time) and by their reason
for working part time during the survey week (economic or other
reasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material
shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination
of job during the week, and inability to find full-time work.
"Other reasons" include: labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for
full-time work and full-time worker only during peak season.
Table A shows the average standard error for the major
employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12
recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are
also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of
change for consecutive months is also shown in table A. The
standard errors of level shown in table A are acceptable approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.

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

1. Nbninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to
account for occupied sample households for which no information
was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or
unavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six
groups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence
categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5
percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Batio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the. sample may differ somewhat, by chance,
from that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics as
age, color, sex, and residence. Since these population characteristics are closely correlated with labor force participation
and other principal measurements made from the sample, the
latter estimates can be substantially improved when weighted
appropriately by the known distribution of these population
characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of
ratio estimates as follows:

The figures presented in table B are to be used for
other characteristics and are approximations of the standard
errors of all such characteristics. They should be interpreted
as providing an indication of the order of magnitude of the
standard errors rather than as the precise standard error for
any specific item.
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the
known 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 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
(1950) to take account of subsequent aging of the population,
Labor force and total employment.

Nbnagricultural employment
Unemployment
The standard error of the change in an item from one
month to the next month is more closely related to the standard
error of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the
specific month-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to use
the approximations to the standard errors of month-to-month
changes as presented in table C, it is first necessary to obtain
the standard error of the monthly level of the item in table B,
and then find the standard error of the month-to-month change in
table C corresponding to this standard error of level. It
should be noted that table C applies to estimates of change between 2 consecutive months. For changes between the current
month and the same last year, the standard errors of level

Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out only one employment or labor turnover
schedule, which is then used for national, State, and area
estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of
respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques
at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic
comparability of estimates.
50
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 44 States, the turnover program in 42 States.
Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total
number of persons working a specific number of hours, as
15,000,000, an increase of 500,000 over the previous month.
Linear interpolation in the first column of table B shows that
the standard error of 15,000,000 is about 160,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the 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 as the standard error of the monthly level in table
C, it may be seen that the standard error of the 500,000 increase is about 135,000.

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

INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION
Establishments are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected
each year on an industry class supplement to the monthly 790 or
1219 report. In the case of an establishment making more than
one product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire
employment of the establishment is included under the industry
indicated by the most important product or activity.
The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed
by using sample data for both numerator and denominator depends
upon both the size of the percentage and the size of the total
upon which the percentage is based. Where the numerator is a
subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are relatively more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates
of the numerator of the percentage, particularly if the percentage is large (50 percent or greater). Table D shows the
standard errors for percentages derived from the survey.
Linear interpolation may be used for percentages and base figures not shown in table D.

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

Prior to January 1959, all national, State, and area
series were classified in accordance with the following documents: (l) For manufacturing, Standard Industrial Classification
Manual, Volume I, Bureau of the Budget, 1945, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial Classification Code, Social Security
Board, 1942. State and area series were converted to the 1957
SIC beginning in January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958) and
national industry statistics were converted in the latter part of
1961 (with an overlap from 1958 to the month of conversion).
Consequently, back issues of Employment and Earnings will not
provide earlier data on a comparable basis. However, for many
industries, both BLS and the cooperating State agencies have constructed series for years prior to 1958 which are comparable with
data starting with 1958 and based on the 1957 SIC. National data
for earlier periods comparable with those currently published are
available in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the

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

entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during
the period.
Employment^ Hours, and Earnings
Benchmark Adjustments
Reports on employment and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours are collected monthly from sample establishments in nonagricultural industries. The table below shows the
approximate proportion of total employment in each industry
division covered by the group of establishments furnishing
monthly employment data. The coverage for individual industries
within the division may vary from the proportions shown.
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 industry
employment estimates are currently projected from March 1959
benchmarks. After allowing for the effect of shifts in products or activities resulting from conversion to the 1957
Standard Industrial Classification, and the changes in level
resulting from improved benchmark sources for employment not
covered by the social insurance systems, meaningful quantitative
comparisons can be made between estimates for March 1959 projected from the last previous benchmarks (1957) and the actual
March 1959 benchmark levels. This comparison reveals a difference of 0.6 percent for total nonagricultural employment, practically identical with the extent of the adjustment in March
1957, the last benchmark adjustment prior to the shift in
classification systems. The differences were less than 1.0 percent for four of the eight major industry divisions; under 2
percent for two other divisions; and 3.8 and k.9 percent for the
remaining two divisions.

CONCEPTS
Industry Employment
Employment data for all except the Federal Government
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period ending nearest the 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 excluded from total nonagricultural
employment •
Bsrsons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), on
One significant cause of differences between benchmark
and estimate is the change in industrial classification of individual establishments, which is usually not reflected in BLS
estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other
causes are sampling and response errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled
by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under
State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are prepared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the Bureau of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments
exempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of their
small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded
from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a variety
of other sources. Among improvements introduced in 1961, when
the industry statistics were converted to the 1957 Standard
Industrial Classification Manual, was the development of new and
better sources of benchmark data for employment either outside
the social insurance system or covered by it only on a voluntary
basis.
The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with the new benchmark levels, industry by industry.
Where revisions are necessary, the monthly series of estimates
are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one.
The new benchmark for each industry is then carried forward progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.
Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment while the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers or
nonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. When
the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures are
reduced to a weekly basis.
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.
Nbnsuperviaory 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., for old-age and unemployment insurance, group insurance,
withholding tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for
overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly by
the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay
period), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other
payment in kind are excluded.
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 Conmission and relate
to ftTT employees who received pay during the month, except
executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC group I). Gross
average hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensation by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained
by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a
weekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average
weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, during
the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for production, construction, and nonsupervisory workers. The man-hours
include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave
when pay is received directly from the firm.
Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars
are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security and
income taxes from gross weekly earnings. The amount of income
tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by
the worker, as well as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed for a
worker with no dependents, and a worker with three dependents.
The computations are based on the gross average weekly earnings
for all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industry
division without regard to marital status, family composition,
or total family income.
Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of production and related workers during the pay period ending nearest the
15th of the month. Overtime hours are those for which premiums
were paid because the hours were in excess of the number of hours
of either the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and
holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates were paid.
Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or
other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings '
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the current
month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 1957-59
dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since
the base period.
Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, reflecting dot 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.
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime pay
are computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for
the industry group by the sum of total production-worker manhours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Irior 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. 537-5to). Both
methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No adjustment
is made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday
work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and
one-half.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period
of time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit
of work or time. The earnings series, however, does not measure
the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer since
the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive
items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid
by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under
the production-worker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Bayrolls and Man-Hours
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying
average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore,
weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross average
hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and absenteeism.
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours
are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1957-59 period. The man-hour aggregates
are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker
employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of gross
average weekly earnings and production-worker employment.
Average Weekly Hours
Labor Turnover
The workweek information relates to the average hours
for which pay was received, and is different from standard or
scheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover,
part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to be
lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component
industries.
Labor -jiuraover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employment status with respect to
individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a
calendar month, is divided into two broad types: Accessions
(new hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees, whether
full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive,
office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers.
Transfers to another -establishment of the company are included,
beginning with January 1959.
Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross
average weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours and for
which premium payments were made. If an employee worked on a paid
holiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensation his
holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no
overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in
the same direction, from month-to-month; for example, premiums may
be paid for hours in excess of the straight-time workday although
less than a full week is worked. Diverse trends at the industrygroup level may also be caused by a marked change in gross hours
for a component industry where little or no overtime was worked
in both the previous and current months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have
the same influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
Accessions are the total number of permanent and 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
6-E
employment roll which are not classified as new hires including
transfers from another establishment of the company.
STATISTICS FOR STATES A N D AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor
turnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics relate to metropolitan
areas, as defined in the Annual Supplement Issue of Employment
and Earnings. Additional industry detail may be obtained from
the State agencies listed on the inside back cover of each issue.
These statistics are based on the same establishment reports used
by 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.
Separations are terminations of employment during the
calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,
layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized
absences, if on the last day of the month the person has been
absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by
the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations of employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and
entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 consecutive calendar days.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau*s employment series
for the following reasons: (l) Accessions and separations are
computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports
refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month; and
(2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates
if the work stoppage extends through the report period.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Several major technical improvements were achieved in
196l, when the industry statistics were converted to the 1957
Standard Industrial Classification Manual. The benchmark tabulations obtained from State unemployment insurance agencies (see
section on benchmark adjustments), which formerly gave employment totals by industry, were tabulated to give separate totals
by size of establishment within industries for the first quarter
of each year beginning with 1959* Intensive analysis revealed
that significant improvements could be made for many of the
hours and earnings series if the employment estimates for certain industries were stratified by size of establishment and/or
"by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisoryworker data were used in weighting the hours and earnings into
broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating
cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the term
is used in the summary of computational methods on page 8-E, may
be an industry size and/or regional stratum or it may be an
entire industry or combination of industries. Further analysis
will be made, as resources permit, to determine whether stratification will improve the estimates of labor turnover rates.
More advanced automatic electronic data-processing
equipment has also contributed to improving the program. The
advanced equipment, with its greater capacity, has made feasible
the increased number of computations required by the introduction of size cells, and facilitates closer quality control of
data input and output.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring
seasonal movement which pan be measured on the basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change which can be
ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observe
the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor force and establishment
data are published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these series is
a new adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method,
with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to take account
of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description and illustration of the basic method was published in the August i960
Monthly Labor Review.
The seasonally adjusted series on weekly hours and labor
turnover rates for industry groupings are computed by applying
factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, but seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees and production workers by industry divisions are obtained by summing the
seasonally adjusted data which are published for component industries. The factors currently in use are available upon request.
In the case of unemployment, data for four age-sex
groups (male and female unemployed workers under age 20, and age
20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and
are then added to give a seasonally adjusted total unemployment
figure. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived
by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment
(the sum of the four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by
the figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force.
Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of the labor
force to be applied to data for 1961 and later are provided in
the table below, since seasonally adjusted labor force series,
except for the unemployment rates, are not published regularly in
Employmentnand Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data
are based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors
are revised in the light of the pattern revealed by subsequent
data. Data through December 1961 were used in deriving the current factors applicable to 1961-62. Revisions will be made annually as each additional year's data become available.
Seasonal adjustment factors for the labor force and major
components, to be used for the period 1961-62
The general procedures used for estimating industry
employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics are
described in the table on page 8-E. Details are given in the
technical notes on Measurement of Employment, Hours, and
Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries and Measurement of
Labor Turnover, which are available upon request.
Reliability of Preliminary Estimates
For the most recent months, national estimates of
employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and so footnoted in the tables. These particular figures are based on
less than the full sample and consequently subject to revision
when all of the reports in the sample have beer, received.
Studies of these revisions in past data indicate that they have
been relatively small for employment and even smaller for hours
and earnings. Because of the change in the industrial classification system and in the estimating methods described above,
it will not be possible to determine the magnitude of the error
in preliminary estimates published for I96I and subsequent
periods, until sufficient experience has been accumulated.

(industry or region, and size cells)
Aggregate industry levels (divisions, groups
and, where stratified, individual industries)
Monthly Data
All employees
All-employee estimate for previous month multiplied by ratio of all employees in current
month to all employees in previous month, for
sample establishments which reported for both
months.
Sum of all-employee estimates for component
industries.
Production or nonsupervisory workers; women
employees
All-employee estimate for current month multiplied by (l) ratio of production or nonsupervisory workers to all employees in sample
establishments for current month, (2) ratio of
women to all employees.
Sum of production- or nonsupervisory-worker
estimates, or women estimates, for component
industries.
Gross average weekly hours
Production- or nonsupervisory-worker man-hours
divided by number of production or nonsupervisory workers.
Average, weighted by production- or
nonsupervisory-worker employment, of the average weekly hours for component industries.
Average weekly overtime hours
Production-worker overtime man-hours divided
by number of production workers.
Average, weighted by production-worker employment, of the average weekly overtime hours for
component industries.
Gross average hourly
earnings
Total production- or nonsupervisory-worker payroll divided by total production- or
nonsupervisory'-worker man-hours.
Average, weighted by aggregate man-hours, of
the average hourly earnings for component
industries.
Gross average weekly
earnings
Product of gross average weekly hours and
average hourly earnings.
Product of gross average weekly hours and
average hourly earnings.
Labor turnover rates
(total, men, and women)
The number of particular actions (e.g., quits)
in reporting firms divided by total employment
in those firms. The result is multiplied by
100. For men (or women), the number of men
(women) who quit is divided by the total number
of men (women) employed.
Average, weighted by employment, of the rates
for component industries.
Annual Average Data

or nonsupervisory workers
Sum of monthly estimates divided by 12.
Sum of monthly estimates divided by 12.
Gross average weekly hours
Annual total of aggregate man-hours (production- or nonsupervisory-worker employment
multiplied by average weekly hours) divided
by annual sum of employment.
Annual total of aggregate man-hours for production or nonsupervisory workers divided by
annual sum of employment for these4 workers.
Average weekly overtime hours
Annual total of aggregate overtime man-hours
(production-worker employment multiplied by
average weekly overtime hours) divided by
annual sum of employment.
Annual total of aggregate overtime man-hours
for production workers divided by annual sum
of employment for these workers.
Gross average hourly
earnings
Annual total of aggregate payrolls (productionor nonsupervisory-worker employment multiplied
by weekly earnings) divided by annual aggregate
man-hours.
Annual total of aggregate payrolls divided by
annual aggregate man-hours.
Gross average weekly
earnings
