Periodically, the Bureau adjusts the industry
employment series to a recent benchmark to improve their accuracy. These adjustments mayalso
affect the hours and earnings series because employment levels are used as weights. All industry
statistics shown in this report are adjusted to a
March 1964 be n c h m a r k . Data from April 1964
forward are subject to revision at the time of the
next benchmark adjustment.
Issues of Employment and Earnings prior to
December 1965 contain data adjusted to previous
benchmarks and cannot be used in conjunction with
national industry data now shown in sections B, C,

the United States, 1909-65, BLS Bulletin 1312-fr,
which may be purchased from the Superintendent
of Documents for $4.25. For an individual industry, earlier data may be obtained upon request to
the Bureau.
When industry data are again adjusted to new
benchmarks, another edition of Employment and

SUMMARY EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT
DEVELOPMENTS, FEBRUARY 1966
The number of unemployed persons, which usually rises in February, declined
by over 100, 000, and the unemployment rate dropped from 4. 0 to 3O 7 percent. This
was the first time in nearly 9 years that the unemployment rate had dropped below 4O 0
percent and was the lowest figure since the 3. 5 percent rate in November 1953. Employment increased between January and February, and the gain among nonfarm wage
and salary workers was larger than expected for these months. The workweek for
manufacturing production workers reached the highest seasonally adjusted level since
World War II.
Total Employment
Employment,, at 71* 6 million in February, was up by 300, 000 from January.
Although this was slightly less than the expected gain, it followed several months of
exceptionally rapid growtho The seasonally adjusted employment decline in February,
as reflected in the household survey, was among self-employed persons and domestics,
groups whose employment is difficult to measure on a month-to-month basis0 Data
from the establishment payroll survey (discussed below under Industry Developments)
showed continued strong gains in nonfarm payroll employment.
Total employment rose by nearly 2. 1 million from February 1965. Employment gains from a year earlier amounted to 900, 000 for teenagers, 850, 000 for adult
women, and 300, 000 for adult men0 More than one-third of the over-the-year increase
in employment took place among voluntary part-time workers, who represent only ones eve nth of the civilian labor force.
Included among the employed in February were lo 6 million nonagricultural
workers on part time for economic reasons. The number of these involuntary parttime workers dropped by 300, 000 from a year earlier. On a seasonally adjusted
basis, such part-time employment equaled the lowest figure recorded since this series
first became available in May 1955.
Industry Developments
Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 80, 000 to 6l0 1 million in February,
although a decline is usual for this time of year. After allowance for seasonal factors,
payroll employment advanced by 250,000, with the largest gain (125,000) taking place
in manufacturing. Trade, services, and State and local government each showed
seasonally adjusted increases of about 50,000, while contract construction employment
declined by 30,000. (These data exclude the self-employed, unpaid family workers,
and private household workers, who are included in the total employment figures. )
The number of employees on nonfarm payrolls was up by 2O 8 million from a
year ago. All major industry divisions except mining contributed to the over-the-year
gain. Since the recession trough in February 196lf payroll employment has increased
by nearly 9 million; more than half of this rise has taken place in the last 2 years 0
Manufacturing employment, which usually shows little change between January
and February, rose by 140, 000 to 18. 4 million. The largest increase (65, 000) took
place in apparel, as employment rebounded from the seasonal downturn and the New
York City transit strikeo Job strength was also evident in most of the durable goods
industries. Seasonally adjusted employment increases of about 30, 000 each occurred
in electrical equipment and transportation equipment, while fabricated metals and
machinery each advanced by 10, 0000
Since February 1965, manufacturing employment has risen by 950, 000; this
was the largest February-to-February gain since 1952-53. The increase was concentrated in the durable goods sector--especially machinery, electrical equipment,
and transportation equipment, where the combined rise totaled 500, 000. Four-fifths
of the employment increase over the year occurred among production workers.
Contract construction employment declined more than usual in February, as
bad weather curtailed outdoor work. At 2. 8 million, contruction employment was up
by 120, 000 from a year earlier.
Despite substantial gains in manufacturing and construction employment, the
majority of the new jobs created since February 1965 were in the service-producing
industries. State and local government and trade (up 500, 000 each) and miscellaneous
services (up 400, 000) provided the bulk of the increase,,
Factory Hours and Earnings
The workweek rose 0. 1 hour to 41. 3 hours in February. On a seasonally
adjusted basis* it was at its highest level since World War II. Hours continued to be
relatively high in most industries, especially in ordnance, fabricated metals, transportation equipment, and machinery. The workweek included an average of 3. 7 hours
of overtime at premium pay, unchanged from January, but the highest February level
since this series originated in 1956.
Between January and February, average weekly earnings edged up by 27 cents
to $110o. 27 because of the increase in hourso However, hourly earnings, at $2.67,
were unchanged from the January alltime higho
Unemployme nt
Unemployment fell to 3, 150, 000 in February, a decline of more than 100, 000
from January, although a small increase is usual for this time of year. In February,
there were lo 5 million adult men, 950, 000 adult women, and 700, 000 teenagers unemployed. Nearly half of the unemployed teenagers and one-fifth of the women were
seeking part-time jobs0 However, only 100, 000, or 7 percent, of the adult men were
looking for part-time work. Altogether, 600, 000, or about 20 percent, of the unemployed
were seeking part-time jobs.
The unemployment rate for adult men continued at the low level of 2. 6 percent
for the third consecutive month. The rates for men 20-24 years of age (4O 4 percent)
and 25 years and over (2. 3 percent) remained at their lowest levels since 1953O Among
adult women, the rate continued to edge downward, reaching 3.6 percent in February
and equaling the lowest rate recorded during the 1955-57 expansiono
The teenage rate, which has declined unevenly since mid-1965, reached 11
percent in February. Teenagers accounted for about half of the decline in unemployment
over the month, as many youngsters in school gave up the search for part-time jobs*
Normally, between January and February the number of teenagers in school declines,
while the number in the labor force rises. However, the pattern was reversed this year.
The jobless rate for teenagers was down from 14. 5 percent a year ago and back
to the 11 percent level of late 1957 for the first time.
The unemployment rate for nonwhite workers remained unchanged from its
January level of 7* 0 percent, while the white rate moved down from 3. 5 to 3. 3 percent.
The nonwhite rate was down significantly from 9. 2 percent a year ago. Both the white
and nonwhite rates were at their lowest levels since these data became available in
January 1954.
The number of persons unemployed for 15 weeks or longer was unchanged over
the month but down 400, 000 from a year earlier. On a seasonally adjusted basis, longterm unemployment was at its lowest point since September 1957.
Insured Unemployment
State insured unemployment which usually shows little change at this time of
year, declined slightly between mid-January and mid-February to about 1.6 million.
Except for the declines of 70, 000 in New York and 13, 000 in Wisconsin, all the changes
among the States amounted to less than 10, 000o The drop in New York followed the
settlement of the New York City transit strike.
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the rate dropped from 2. 8 to 2. 7 percent.
(The unadjusted rate edged down from 3. 8 to 3. 7 percento )
As usual for this time of year, the highest rates were in Alaska (14. 4 percent) and in three western States that were particularly affected by severe winter
weather- -North Dakota (8O 5), Montana (7. 1), and Nevada (6. 4). California,
Washington, and West Virginia also had rates well above the national average (5.6
percent each). Other large States with comparatively high rates were New Jersey
(5O 1) and New York (4O7). On the other hand the insured jobless rates were below
2. 0 percent in Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, Texas, and Virginia.

THE UNEMPLOYED IN A TIGHTENING LABOR MARKET
Susan S. H o l l a n d *
As the economic expansion completed its fifth full year in February 1966
(coincident with the 20th anniversary of the Employment Act of 1946), it was particularly appropriate that the Nation1 s unemployment rate should move below the 4
percent interim goal. At 3. 7 percent in February, the jobless rate was at its lowest
point in more than 12 years--since November 1953 when it was 3O 5 percent. Moreover, in assessing current developments against the background of the past 5 years,
it is noteworthy that the reduction in unemployment during the past year has accelerated.
After the first year of recovery, the Nation1 s jobless rate leveled off at about
5-1/2 percent for the next 2 years o However, some further improvement in the unemployment situation among adult men (20 years and over) and among full-time workers
occurred as early as the second quarter of 1963 and has been very persistent since that
time. The .February unemployment rate for adult men (2. 6 percent) was only fractionally above that prevailing during the Korean conflict, and a further decrease in this rate
is expected during 1966. The unemployment rate for the full-time labor force reached
3. 3 percent in February 1966, as compared with 4. 6 percent a year earlier. The 30 3
percent rate for full-time workers was the lowest on record since monthly data first
became available in January 1963O
The steady downtrend in unemployment among adult men during 1965 and early
1966 has brought increasing attention to the problem of emerging manpower shortages.
While there are numerous indications of developing labor stringencies in a few industries,
occupations, and areas, at the present time there is little evidence of a general labor
shortage. However, it is likely that with continued economic expansion and an active
manpower policy, the remaining gap between the potential and the utilized supply of
labor will continue to narrow in 1966O As unemployment declines further, increasing
attention must be given to matching unemployed persons with available jobs. In some
cases, the jobless workers will have to be trained or retrained to obtain employment.
In other instances, jobs will have to be redesigned or the hours varied to take advantage
of the skills and availability of potential employees. In the formulation of policy during
this period of rapid transition, it is helpful to know as much as possible about the persons
currently unemployed. This article describes the characteristics of the 3O 2 million
persons unemployed in February 1966O The profile of the unemployed that emerges from
this brief review may be summarized as follows:
1. Relatively few of the unemployed can meet the exacting requirements for
professional work or other very highly skilled industrial jobs. However, the difficulty
of filling such jobs has been a continuing problem for many years,
2. About a third of the unemployed were adult men seeking full-time work
(excluding those on seasonal layoff). Hiring of women and teenagers has been stepped
up to compensate for the shortage of adult men.
3. The unemployed are not without skills or significant work experience. There
were 2. 6 million unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs in February 1966, all but
200, 000 of whom had previous full-time work experience.

4. Very few of the persons unemployed in today1 s tight labor market are
"hard core11 or unemployable. Less than 10 percent had been out of work for 6
months or longer. On the other hand, the proportion who have been jobless for less
than 5 weeks has risen to 54 out of 100, the highest since late 1953O
5. To an increasing extent, the need for labor will have to be filled by fuller
utilization of employed workers* The evidence, although fragmentary, suggests that
employed workers are being upgraded from unskilled to semi-skilled occupations.
6. An additional source of labor supply will be the new entrants to the labor
force. An increase of lo 6 million is estimated for 1966, about 300, 000 more than the
increase which might have been expected on the basis of the long-term trend* These
additional 300,000, mainly women and teenagers, will be drawn into the labor force
by the attraction of abundant employment opportunity.
Full-time Workers
Altogether, about four-fifths of the 3O 2 million unemployed in February were
looking for full-time work, while one-fifth were seeking part-time jobs0 These proportions were about the same for white and Negro workers. Unemployment levels in
February tend to be approximately 10 percent above the annual average levels because
of seasonal factors (mainly cutbacks in construction and other outdoor work).
Including those on seasonal layoff, there were 2.6 million persons seeking
full-time employment in February 1966, all but 200, 000 with previous full-time work
experience. The great majority of the experienced unemployed looking for full-time
jobs were adults, and many of them had experience in the.types of occupations and
industries where shortages are now beginning to develop. Adult male unemployment,
at lo 5 million in February, consisted almost entirely of experienced workers seeking
full-time jobs. Nearly all of the 950, 000 jobless adult women also had previous fulltime work experience, and over 80 percent were looking for full-time work.
Adult men. The number of unemployed adult men has been declining steadily
for almost 3 years, and it is this group which has accounted for most of the drop in
total unemployment since 1963. Undoubtedly, further reductions can and will be made
in adult male unemployment in 19&6. However, since adult male joblessness is
currently approaching the Korean conflict levels, it is probably that future cutbacks
in unemployment will be less heavily concentrated in this group.
Two-thirds of the 1. 5 million unemployed adult men had last worked in the
blue-collar occupations,, Approximately 400,000 had previous full-time job
experience as skilled craftsmen, while 3 50, 000 had worked as semiskilled operatives.
Employers have recently reported numerous unfilled vacancies for skilled and semis k i l l e d blue -collar workers. \ However, many of these unemployed last worked
in construction or other seasonal industries where winter layoffs are normal. As the
weather becomes warmer and outdoor work picks up, a large number of the seasonally
unemployed will return to their former jobs. Such unemployed workers should not be
considered part of the manpower reserve available to meet emerging labor shortages.
Slightly more than one-quarter million unemployed adult men last worked as
unskilled nonfarm laborers. Unemployment in this occupation dropped very sharply
(200,000) over the year, while employment was virtually unchanged. Thus, it is
evident that a large number of laborers obtained employment in higher-skilled jobs.
Altogether, the employment of operatives rose by one million over the past year
(about double the 1964-65 expansion) and undoubtedly some of this increase came from
former nonfarm laborers. As demand rises in 1966, the upgrading of less skilled
workers (both the employed and the unemployed) will probably accelerate. The expansion of apprenticeship and other on-the-job training programs, as well as institutional
training, will contribute to greater utilization of the current work force. In the long
run, such programs to upgrade the labor force will provide a major solution to the
problem of manpower shortages.
There were 250, 000 unemployed adult men with experience in the white-collar
occupations in February 1966, with the managerial and clerical occupations accounting
for about two-thirds of the total. Professional workers (especially engineers,
draftsmen, and related personnel) were reported to be in short supply in several
industries and geographic areas in early 1966. However, the total number of unemployed persons who had last worked in the professional and technical occupations was
only 100, 000 in February, about half of them adult meno
It appears that the increasing demands for professional workers cannot be
entirely satisfied by hiring currently unemployed persons with experience in this
occupation. Instead employers will have to look to alternative sources of supply.
This June1 s college graduates are one major source of additional professional and
technical workers. An indication of the potential flow from this source is the fact
that over 300, 000 men and 200, 000 women will receive bachelor1 s degrees. Not all
of these will be immediately available because some of them will go into the Armed
Forces or on to graduate study. However, the latter group is about matched by the
number completing graduate study and entering the labor force,. In addition, it may
be possible to train and promote employees already on the payroll to higher level jobs
and to subdivide and simplify existing jobs so that they can be filled by less skilled
workers. In the professional as well as other occupations, hiring requirements with
respect to age and education may have to be re-evaluated to see whether they are unnecessarily restrictive. Many positions could be filled by younger workers, older
workers, members of minority groups, or less highly educated persons were it not
for artificial barriers to hiring.
The supply of adult male workers is projected to increase by 300, 000400, 000 in 1966 because of labor force expansion, but many of the younger men in
this group (notably the 20-24 year-olds) will be entering the Armed Forces. It is
clear, therefore, that the available pool of adult male workers will be more limited
in 1966 than it was in the preceding year. While male employment will continue to
grow, employers will be turning more and more to women and younger workers to
fill their increasing demands for labor.
Adult women, In February 1966, there were 900, 000 unemployed adult women
who had had previous full-time work experience. The largest single concentration was
the 300, 000 who last worked in the semiskilled operative occupations. Over the past
year, operative employment rose relatively more for adult women than men. More
8
importantly, however, the employment of women operatives rose sharply in the
durable goods manufacturing industries, although the majority of women operatives
are employed in nondurables and in the nonmanufacturing industries. This indicates
that employers have recently begun to draw heavily on adult women to supply some of
the shortage occupations, even though female employment traditionally has been
concentrated in other occupations.
About 300, 000 of the unemployed adult women had previously worked in the
clerical and sales occupations. The demand for secretaries, typists, and other office
employees has been strong throughout the postwar period, while the rieed for sales
personnel has intensified during the current expansion. However, the total number of
unemployed workers with sales and clerical work experience, together with many of
the younger workers who enter the labor force this year, should be sufficient to meet
immediate demands in these occupations.
Relatively few unemployed adult women had experience in the other white- or
blue-collar occupations, but about 250, 000 women last worked in service jobs. As
the year progresses, it will become increasingly difficult to find service workers for
poorly paid but essential jobs such as practical nurses and hospital attendants.
Increasing the pay and improving hours and working conditions in these jobs would
make it considerably easier to obtain the necessary workers.
The total number of unemployed women with previous work experience fell by
3 50, 000 over the past year. While reductions took place in almost all major occupation groups, the largest drop (100, 000) was among service workers. Employment for
women in the service occupations also rose, but substantially less than in the operative
and white-collar occupations. Steadily rising demand for skilled and semiskilled
blue-collar workers and for white-collar workers will further shrink the number of
experienced unemployed in these occupations. Pressures will increase to hire unemployed service workers and other less skilled jobseekers and to upgrade some of them.
Young workers. The teenage unemployment rate moved down to 11 percent in
February, its lowest point since late 1957. The reduction in this rate since mid-1965
has been remarkable because it coincided with a tremendous expansion in the 14-19
year-old labor force.
Approximately 400,000, or three-fifths, of the 700,000 jobless 14-19 year-olds
had had previous full-time work experience. However, in many cases this consisted
of temporary summer jobs and therefore would not be adequate preparation for the
types of jobs these young workers are seeking currently or for the highly skilled jobs
that are hard to fill. Nearly 40 percent of the experienced teenage unemployed had
last worked full time in the unskilled and semiskilled blue-collar occupations,. Most
of the others were last employed as service workers or in clerical and sales jobs.
Practically all of the teenagers looking for full-time work were no longer in
school* Very few of those in the full-time labor force have had an opportunity to
acquire more than a high school education.
Since 14-15 year-olds accounted for only 50, 000 of the unemployed teenagers
in February, the following discussion focuses on the characteristics of the 650,000
16-19 year-old jobseekers. Approximately 350,000 of the jobless 16-19 year-olds were
seeking full-time work in February and, as would be expected, the full-time jobseekers were concentrated in the 18-19 year age group. Full-time jobseeking was
relatively more prevalent among girls than boys. More than two-thirds of the
unemployed girls, but only half of the unemployed boys, were looking for full-time
jobs in February. These proportions reflect the fact that relatively more of the
boys (especially 18-19 year-olds) than girls continue their education past the high
school level.
The recent gains in full-time employment have brought substantial improvement to teenagers in the full-time labor force. Full-time employment for teenagers,
which had remained constant between 1963 and 1964, advanced strongly during 1965.
As a result, the unemployment rate for teenagers seeking full-time jobs began to
decline in early 1965. This rate, which had averaged 17-18 percent in 1963 and 1964,
dropped to 12 percent in early 1966.
Summary. The unemployment rates for adults (most of whom hold or are
seeking full-time jobs) were the first to respond to the expansion in economic activity.
The jobless rate for men began to decline as early as mid-1963, while the rate for women
started to fall in the spring of 1964. During these years, the rate for teenagers in the
full-time job market remained high and showed no consistent trend. However, in 1965
and early 1966 the demand for full-time workers was finally reflected in sharply reduced unemployment rates for teenagers in the full-time work force.
Part-time Workers
Approximately 600,000 unemployed persons were seeking part-time jobs in
February 1966. About half the group were teenagers in school. Very few jobless
adult men (100, 000 out of the 1. 5 million) were looking for part-time work. Virtually
all of this group were either 20-24 year-old students or men 60 years of age and over,
many of whom were close to retirement. Approximately 180, 000 unemployed adult women
were seeking part-time work in February 1966. Most were wives of household heads.
In the majority of cases, these women were not available for full-time work because of
family responsibilities.
While unemployment rates for all full-time workers began to move down steadily
in the second quarter of 1963, the unemployment rate for the part-time work force remained close to 7 percent until late 1964 when it started an uneven downtrend. For
adult men and women, the part-time unemployment rates in early 1966 were significantly below the levels of a year earlier. The unemployment rate for teenagers in the
part-time job market has varied widely over the past year and has shown no steady
trend. However, in 1966 the rate was lower than in February of the preceding 3 years.
Full-time workers normally are the first to benefit from an increased demand
for labor because they predominate in the goods-producing industries where employment responds quickly to increased orders and production. However, during a
sustained period of high employment demand, the part-time labor force also benefitso
Employment needs intensify in trade and services, where part-time workers are
utilized to a great extent. At the same time, as the available supply of full-time labor
diminishes, some employers adjust working schedules to accomodate additional part-time
employees. The current economic expansion appears to have reached the stage where
further employment increases will reduce both the full- and part-time unemployment
rates.

THE TEENAGE LABOR FORCE IN EARLY 1966
Thomas E. Swanstrom*
The employment situation of teenagers has been a matter of foremost concern
in recent years. Even in early 1965 the teenage unemployment rate was still very
high despite 4 full years of continuous economic expansion. Moreover, teenage joblessness threatened to rise even higher because of the expected sharp increase in the
number reaching working age. It was known that there would be rapid growth during
1965 in the number of persons reaching 18 years of age--an age when many were
finishing their schooling and seeking their first full-time jobs.
As a result, the providing of sufficient job opportunities for young persons
entering the labor force became a high-priority item in government policy. Several
special youth programs were put into action to help ease their transition into the
labor force. These programs, together with the general expansion of business activity, prevented the unemployment level of teenagers from rising over the year. At
the same time, their employment rose (sharply, equaling their a d d i t i o n s to t h e
labor force. Thus the teenage unemployment rate declined sharply from a year ago
and in February reached 11 percent, back to 1957 levels for the first time. Nevertheless, teenage unemployment remains unacceptably high, and the teenage jobless
rate is still three times the overall rate. Among nonwhite teenagers the unemployment rate remained at a shocking 25 percent of their number in the labor force.
Negro youngsters were the only major group in the labor force that failed to benefit
from the tightening job market during the past year.
This article portrays the teenage job situation as the Nation began it sixth
year of sustained economic growth. Some of the major developments in the employment status of teenagers during this past year of rapid improvement were as follows:
lo There were 5. 7 million youths 14 to 19 years old employed in January 1966,
la 1 million more than a year earlier.
2. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for teenagers dropped from
15. 2 percent in January 1965 to 12. 0 in January 1966. (The rate fell further in
February to 10.9 percent, its lowest level since October 1957. ) Most of the improvement took place among out-of-school youtho
3O Although unemployment rates for all teenage groups declined over the year,
in January 1966 the unemployment rate of nonwhite girls was still three times that of
white girls, and the rate of nonwhite boys was over twice that of whites.
4. The labor force, participation rate of teenage males rose from 32 to 36
percent, while that of the females increased from 24 to 27 percent.
5e Although only one of ten persons in the labor force in January 1966 was a
teenager, 70 percent of the net increase in the labor force over the period was among
teenagers.
6. More than half of the increase in employment of teenage boys was in the
skilled and semiskilled blue-collar occupations where labor shortages are becoming
more apparent. Even though entry jobs for teenagers have often been in unskilled

blue-collar work in past years, there was no increase over the year in the employment of teenagers as laborers,
7. Nonwhite teenagers were concentrated more in those occupations requiring
a minimal amount of skill than were white teenagers.
8. Teenage employment rose in every industry group between January 1965
and January 1966, but the gains were concentrated in manufacturing, services, and
trade.
Population and Labor Force
In January }966 there were 1 million more 18 and 19 year-olds in the civilian
population than in January 1965, while the number of 14 to 17 year-olds remained
about the same (see table 1), There were 600, 000 more 18 and 19 year-olds in the
civilian labor force than a year earlier, an increase in line with their expected labor
force growth. Despite the stable size of the 14 to 17 year-old population, there was
an increase of 450, 000 in their number in the labor force, which raised their rates
of labor force participation very sharply. In the last few years, the rates for this
age group had been declining, in part because lack of job opportunities tended to discourage some teenagers from seeking jobs, both those still in school and those who
had dropped out.
Teenagers accounted for 70 percent of the net increase in the civilian labor
force between January 1965 and January 19.66, although they represented only one out
of ten workers. The male teenage labor force increased by about 600, 000, but the
adult male labor force declined by 200, 000 during the year, due in part to the trend
toward earlier retirement among older workers. Teenage girls accounted for only
40 percent of the increment in the female labor force between January 1965 and
January 1966, as labor force participation rates for adult women continued to rise.
Labor force participation rates are lower among 14 to 17 year-old boys and
girls than those age 18 and 19, primarily because a greater proportion of the younger
(over nine out of ten) than the older (about one-half) are in school. The labor force
participation rate of all teenage boys rose from 3 2 to 36 percent between January 1965
and January 1966, the first significant rise in the rate since the January 1955-January
1956 period* The rise in the male rate was due mainly to increased labor force activity among those 14 to 17 years old; their rate increased from 22 to 26 percent.
However, the labor force participation rates of 18 and 19 year-old males, at 58
percent in January 1966, had not risen over the year, probably because of an increase
in the proportion in college.
The participation rate of teenage girls rose from 24 to 27 percent, their highest
January rate since 1957; the rate increased for both the younger and older girls. The
labor force participation rate of nonwhite girls has been substantially lower than that
of white girls. The relatively low proportion of nonwhite girls in the labor force
reflects to some degree their reluctance to look for work when their prospects of
finding suitable work are slim.
Employment
Teenage employment increased more between January 1965 and January 1966
than it did in the entire 15-year period between January 1950 and January 1965. In the
past year, a record increase in the teenage labor force was absorbed into gainful
employment.
In January 1965 there were only a million more teenagers employed than in
January 1950, But in the past 12 months alone, an additional million were added,
bringing the total to 5. 7 million. One-half of the total increase in employment over
13
the year was in the 14 to 19 year-old group, although they comprised only 8 percent
of all employed persons. In the previous y e a r - - J a n u a r y 1964 to January 1965, teenagers made up only 8 percent of the total employment i n c r e a s e .

Some of the employment increase can be traced to the special programs
directed toward the training or employment of youth. Most of it, however, was due
to the tightening job market that developed during the past year, apparently resulting
in some relaxation of hiring restrictions by employers. Teenagers with little or no
skill or training now find it easier to obtain jobs than in previous years when the large
numbers of more experienced unemployed provided a reservoir into which employers
could dip for needed workers.
Over the year, teenagers found it easier to obtain both full-time and parttime jobs; the number with full-time jobs rose by 28 percent while those with part-time
14
jobs increased by 21 percent. The increase in part-time employment was entirely
among teenagers working part time voluntarily; the small number working part time
for economic reasons (inability to find full-time work or slack work) remained stable
over the year.
Younger teenagers were much more likely to be working part time than those
18 and 19 years of age. Nine of ten employed in the 14 to 17 year-old group worked
part time in January 1966, most of them because they preferred part-time work; less
than two of five in the 18 and 19 year-old group worked part time. In nonagricultural
industries, 14 to 17 year-old boys and girls averaged 16 and 12 hours of work a week,
respectively; the 18 and 19 year-old boys and girls each averaged very close to a
full-time workweek.
Unemployment
Despite the large increase in the teenage labor force in the year ended January
1966, their unemployment rate decreased. Seasonally adjusted, the rate for teenagers
trended downward from 15. 2 percent in January 1965 to 12. 0 in January 1966. Girls
were as likely as boys to be unemployed in both months. The number of jobless youth
remained unchanged at 800,000, while the level of adult unemployment dropped sharply
over the year. This caused the teenage proportion of the unemployed to rise from 20
percent to' 23 percent, the highest for any January in the post World War II period.
Most of the improvement in unemployment rates for boys was among the out-ofschool youth (see table 2). The rate for boys attending school full time remained about
the same while that for the out-of-school boys fell sharply. Among the girls, the decline in rates was equally as great for both groups.

Unemployment rates for nonwhite teenage boys and girls failed to improve over
the year, but for whites they fell sharply. In the 3 months ended January 1966, the
rates for nonwhite boys and girls averaged 24 percent and 31 percent, respectively; the
rates for whites, at 10 percent for both boys and girls, were down from an average of
12. 5 percent a year earlier. The ratio of nonwhite-to-white unemployment rates among
teenagers (three to one) is significantly greater than the comparable ratio among
adults (two to one).
Half (about 400, 000) of the unemployed teenagers were looking for full-time
jobs in January 1966. This proportion was down from six out of ten in January 1965 and
reflects the increased availability of full-time jobs. The older teenagers, a large proportion of whom are out of school, are much more apt to look for full-time jobs, while
the younger teenagers of high school age more often seek part-time jobs for after school
or weekends.
The average duration of unemployment for teenage boys fell from 10. 7 weeks in
January 1965 to 9. 7 weeks in January 1966; the decline for the girls was even sharper-from an average of 10. 3 to 7. 6 weeks. Only one of five Unemployed teenagers was
jobless for 15 weeks or longer in the latter month, the same proportion as among
adults.
Occupation
In the past year, the job market has gradually tightened as an increasing demand for labor has run into a limited supply, while the reserve of experienced workers
has gradually dwindled. The unemployment rate of experienced wage and salary
workers (3. 5 percent in January 1966, seasonally adjusted), has shrunk to the lowest
level since October 1953. As the reservoir of experienced unemployed workers has
decreased, employers have found it necessary to rely more and more on the less
efficient and lesser trained or untrained members of the labor force. Foremost among
these are the teenagers.
Close to half of the 600, 000 rise in employment of young men was in the
skilled and semiskilled blue-collar occupations where labor shortages are becoming
apparent; 220, 000 more were working as operatives and 50, 000 more as craftsmen in
January 1966 than in January 1965. The number employed as laborers remained unchanged, even though the traditional entry jobs for teenagers have often been in this
category. Most of the remaining additional jobs for male teenagers were as clerical,
sales, or service workers. Increases in the clerical and service occupations reflect,
in part, employment in the various projects of the Neighborhood Youth Corps.
The occupations of 14-17 year-old boys reflect the availability of part-time work.
Nearly one-fourth of them were sales workers, almost all as newsboys or sales clerks
in retail stores. Another fifth worked as laborers, largely in trade. An equal number
were in the service worker occupations such as building maintenance workers, restaurant workers, or movie theater attendants. Most of the rest were operatives or farm
laborers.
Over one-third of the 18 and 19 year-old boys worked as operatives in manufacturing and in such jobs as gas station attendants, truck drivers, and deliverymen.
Although (employment as laborers remained virtually unchanged among older boys,
laborers were still the second largest occupation groupo Laborers in this age group
tend to work primarily in trade, construction, and durable goods manufacturing. Many
boys who formerly would have started their working life as laborers after leaving high
school were apparently now able to obtain a semiskilled rather than an unskilled job.
Clerical work, the third largest occupation of older boys, increased by two-thirds
between January 1965 and January 1966; most worked as stock clerks, cashiers, or
shipping and receiving clerks.
16
Half of the 14 to 17 year-old girls were private household workers, mostly
babysitters. Other service and clerical occupations also expanded significantly over
the yearo Young girls in service work are employed most frequently as waitresses,
while those in clerical work would be largely cashiers, with smaller numbers working
as secretaries and typists.
A majority of the 18 and 19 year-old girls were in clerical occupations, including secretaries, typists, bookkeepers, and telephone operators. The number of
clerical workers in this age group was one-third higher in January 1966 than in January
1965. Only a small proportion were employed in each of the next two largest occupation groups--service workers and operatives. Examples of the occupations of older
girls employed as service workers are waitresses, hospital attendants, and hairdressers. Girls in the operative category are most apt to be working as sewers or stitchers
in manufacturing or in other jobs in the apparel and textile industries.
Nonwhite teenagers were concentrated more heavily than were whites in those
occupations which require a minimal amount of skill. The 14 to 17 year-old nonwhite
boys were twice as likely as white boys to be employed as service workers. Among
older boys, relatively twice as many nonwhites as whites were laborers.
The proportion of white girls 18 and 19 years of age holding clerical jobs was
twice that of nonwhite, but nonwhite girls were twice as likely to be working as
operatives, private household workers, or service workers. Data from the I960
Census showed that even within these latter occupation groups there are differences in
the kinds of work which white and nonwhite girls perform, Nonwhite girls employed as
operatives were often relatively low*paid laundry workers, while the white girls were
more frequently sewers and stitchers. A majority of the white girls in private household work were babysitters, while the nonwhite girls tended to have other jobs, such
as cleaning or maid work. Nonwhite girls in other service work had relatively more
jobs as chambermaids or kitchen workers, while the white girls worked more often as
waitresses or hairdressers.
Industry
Teenage employment rose in every industry group between January 1965 and
January 1966, but the gains were concentrated in manufacturing, services, and
trade. Among male teenagers, one-third of the net employment increase was in
manufacturing, mostly in durable goods. Boys 14 to 17 years old in manufacturing
were concentrated in nondurable goods industries, working (primarily as newsboys
for newspaper publishers. Employment of older boys in manufacturing was mostly
in the durable goods industries where there were half again as many working in
January 1966 as in January 1965. One-fifth of the job rise of all teenage boys was in
trade and one-sixth was in the service industry.
Among teenage girls, the largest increase in employment was in services--an
industry in which close to three of five of the girls work. Employment of girls in this
industry was up by one-fourth between January 1965 and 1966, with the increase being
relatively greater for the older girls 0 Seven of ten of the younger girls in the service
industry had private household work (mostly as babysitters), while the older girls
worked most often in the financial or professional services. Employment of teenage
girls in manufacturing increased by 50 percent over the year, but only a small proportion of the girls worked in this industry. The wholesale and retail trade industry,
the largest employer of young people, showed significantly smaller gains in employment over the year than the manufacturing or service industries.
Employment of teenagers in the professional services industry (primarily
educational, medical, and welfare services) increased substantially over the year.
About 170, 000 more girls and 60, 000 more boys were employed in this industry in
210-652 O - 66
January 1966 than in January 1965. Some of this rise is accounted for by expansion
of the Neighborhood Youth Corps. Since NYC workers are considered employed in the
industry of the organization that pays their salaries, the many youth in the employ of
schools or other professional institutions are classified under professional services.
By the end of 1965, about 150, 000 youth were enrolled in the Neighborhood Youth Corps,
almost all of whom were 16 to 19 years of age.
Summer Labor Force
Employment of teenagers will rise substantially between February and May,
while the number who will be unemployed will not change markedly from the 700, 000
level in February, if the usual seasonal labor force patterns prevail. Between May
and June, however, both employment and unemployment will rise very sharply as
young persons finish the school year and enter the job market. Even with continued
expansion of business activity, unemployment of teenagers in June may total about
1. 7 million, about 100, 000 fewer than in June 1965. However, their unemployment
rate would be substantially lower than a year earlier because of the greatly increased
number of teenagers in the labor force this year.

*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 dayswere assigned to different classifications, mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.
2Not available.
^Beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into
the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the
figures for total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected.
^Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning I960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has resulted in an increase of about half a
million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other
labor force categories were not appreciably changed.
^Figures for periods prior to April 1962 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of i960 Census data into the estimation procedure. The
change primarily affected the labor force and employment totals, which were reduced by about 200,000. The unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.
NOTE: Data for 1929-39 based on sources other than direct enumeration.

Technical Note
Additional information concerning the preparation
of the labor force, employment, hours and earnings,
and labor turnover series—concepts and scope,
survey methods, and limitations—is contained in
technical notes for each of these series, available
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics free of charge.
Order blank follows Technical Note.
INTRODUCTION
Relation between the household and payroll series
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
three major sources: (1) household interviews, (2) payroll reports from employers; and (3) administrative
statistics of unemployment insurance systems.
The household and payroll data supplement one
another, each providing significant types of information
that the other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for example, are readily obtained only from
the household survey whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from
aXsample survey of the population. The survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census for the
Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive
data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed, including such characteristics as age, sex, color,
marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration
of unemployment. The information is collected by trained
interviewers from a sample of about 35,000 households,
representing 357 areas in 701 counties and independent
cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District of
Columbia. The data collected are based on the activity
or status reported for the calendar week including the
12th of the month.
Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences in definition and coverage, sources
of information, methods of collection, and estimating
procedures. Sampling variability and response errors
are additional reasons for discrepancies. The major
factors which have a differential effect on levels and
trends of the two series are as follows:
Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including
domestics and other private household workers), selfemployed persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15
hours or more during the survey week in family-operated
enterprises. Employment in both farm and nbnfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage
and salary employees on the payrolls of nonfarm establishments.
Data basedon establishment pay roll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies.
The payroll survey provides detailed industry information
on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours, average hourly and weekly earnings,
and labor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The figures are based on payroll reports
from a sample of establishments employing about 25
million nonfarm^wage and salary workers. The data
relate to all workers, full- or part-time, who received
pay during the payroll period which includes the 12th
of the month. '
Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population
without duplication since each person is classified as
employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job are counted
only once, and are classified according to the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during

period.
are the inclusion of persons under 14 in the Statistical
Research Service (SRS) series and the treatment of dual
jobholders who are counted more than once if they worked
on more than one farm during the reporting period.
There are also wide differences in sampling techniques
and collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be
readily measured in terms of impact on differences in
level and trend of the two series.
Hours of Work
The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by
employers. In the household survey data, all persons
with a job but not at work are excluded from the hours
distributions and the computations of average hours.
In the payroll survey, employees on paid vacation, paid
holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned the
number of hours for which they were paid during the
reporting period.
Comparability of the payroll employment data
with other series
Comparability of the household interview data
with other series
Unemployment insurance data.. The unemployed total
from the household survey includes all persons who did
not work at all during the survey week and were looking
for work or were waiting to be called back to a job from
which they had been laid off, regardless of whether or
not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by the
Bureau of Employment Security of the Department of
Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit
rights, new ^workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not
covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local government, domestic service,
self-employed, unpaid family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment used in the household survey. For example,
persons with a job but not at work and persons working
only a few hours during the week are sometimes eligible
for unemployment compensation, but are classified as
employed rather than unemployed in the household
survey.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department
of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage
Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the
Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment
differ from employment counts derived by the Bureau
of the Census from its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses
of business establishments. The major reasons for some
noncomparability are different treatment of business
units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, the
industrial classification of establishments, and different
reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are
also differences in the scope of the industries covered,
e.g., the Census of Business excludes contract construction, professional services, public utilities, and financial
establishments, whereas these are included in BLS
statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of
Commerce and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ
from BLS establishment statistics in the treatment of
central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences may also arise, because of industrial classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes
interstate railroads and government, and coverage is
incomplete for some of the nonprofit activities.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are
covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All
workers in certain activities, such as interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small firms in covered
industries are also excluded in 32 States. In general,
these are establishments with less than four employees.
Labor Force Data
Current Population Survey" (BLS Report 279). This report is available from BLS on request.
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics of employed and unemployed persons, and
related labor force data are compiled for the BLS by
the Bureau of the Census in its Current Population
Survey (CPS). A detailed description of this survey
appears in "Concepts and Methods Used in Household
Statistics on Employment and Unemployment from the
95
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population 14 years
and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of
the household 14 years of age and over. The inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,
Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of the
month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.

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 fbe Department of Defense.
Each month, 35,000 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 1,500 of these households are visited
but interviews are not obtained because the occupants
are not found at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 4 percent. In addition
to the 35,000 occupied units there are 5,000 sample units
in an average month which are visited but found to be
vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of the
sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides
for three-fourths of the sample to be common from one
month to the next, and one-half to be common with the
same month a year ago.
CONCEPTS
Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all as paid employees, in
their own business profession, or on farm, or who worked
15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise
operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those
who were not working or looking for work but who had
jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily
absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labormanagement dispute, or personal reasons, whether or
not they were paid by their employers for the time off.
Each employed person is counted only once. Those
who held more than one job are counted in the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during
the survey week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are
not living on the premises of an Embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted
of work around the house (such as own home houaework,
and painting or repairing own home) or volunteer work
for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.
Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did
not work at all during the survey week and were looking
for work, regardless of whether or not they were eligible
for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all and (a) were
waiting to be called back to a job from which they had
been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new
wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not in school
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.
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 layotf, duration of unemployment represent
the number of full weeks since the termination of their
most recent employment. A period of 2 weeks or more
during which a person was employed or ceased looking
for work is considered to break the continuity of the
present period of seeking work. Average duration is an
arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single
weeks of unemployment.
The civilian labor force comprises the total of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria described above. The "total
labor force" also includes members of the Armed Forces
stationed either in the United States or abroad.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. This
measure can also be computed for groups within the labor
force classified by sex, age, marital status, color, etc.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 14 years
and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are further classified as
"engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable
to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness,
and "other." The "other" group includes for the most
part retired persons, those reported as too old to work,
the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not
reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental
unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for
the
employed apply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during
the survey week. The unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time civilian job lasting 2 weeks
or more. The occupation and industry groups used in
data derived from the CPS household interviews are
defined as in the 1960 Census of Population. Information
on the detailed categories included in these groups is
available upon request.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and
salary workers," subdivided into private and government
workers, "self-employed workers," and "unpaid family
workers." Wage and salary workers receive wages,
salary, commission, tips, or pay in kind from a private
employer or from a governmental unit. Self-employed
persons are those who work for profit or fees in their
own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay
for 15 hours a week or more on a farm or in a business
operated by a member of the household to whom they are
related by blood or marriage.
ESTIMATING METHODS
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.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
a person who normally works 40 hours a week but who
was off on the Veterans Day holiday would be reported
as working 32 hours even though he was paid for the
holiday.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed
to account for occupied sample households for which no
information was obtained because of absence, impassable
roads, refusals, or unavailability for other reasons. This
adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas
and, within these, for six groups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence categories (urban,
rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample
households not interviewed varies from 4 to 6 percent
depending on weather, vacations, etc.
For persons working in more than one job, the figures
relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during
the week. However, all the hours are credited to the
major job.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey
week are designated as working "full time"; persons who
worked between 1 and 34 hours are designated as working
"part time." Part-time workers are classified by their
usual status at their present job (either full time or part
time) and by their reason for working part time during
the survey week (economic or other reasons). "Economic
reasons" include: Slack work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job
during the week, and inability to find full-time work.
"Other reasons" include: Labor dispute, bad weather,
own illness, vacation, demands of home housework,
school, no desire for full-time work and full-time
worker only during peak season. Persons on full-time
schedules include, in addition to those working 35 hours
or more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomic reasons but usually work full time.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by
chance, from that of the Nation as a whole, in such
characteristics as age, color, sex, and residence. Since
these population characteristics are closely correlated
with labor force participation and other principal measurements made from the sample, the latter estimates
can be substantially improved when weighted appropriately by the known distribution of these population
characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages
of ratio estimates as follows:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by
the known 1960 Census data on the color-residence
distribution of the population. This step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the 1960
Census between the color-residence distribution for the
Nation and for the sample areas.
Full-and part-time labor force. The full-time labor
force consists of persons working on full-time schedules,
persons involuntarily working part time (because fulltime work is not available) and unemployed persons
seeking full-time jobs. The 'part-time labor force consists
of persons working part time voluntarily and unemployed
persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job but
not at work during the survey week are distributed proportionately between the full-time and voluntary parttime employment categories.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the
sample proportions are weighted by independent current
estimates of the population by age, sex, and color.
These estimates are prepared by carrying forward the
most recent census data (1960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality, and migration between the U n i t e d S t a t e s and other countries.
Labor force time lost is a measure of man-hours
lost to the economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed
as a percent of potentially available man-hours.
It is computed by assuming: (1) that unemployed
persons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours, (2) that those looking for parttime work lost the average number of hours actually
worked by voluntary part-time workers during the
survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for
economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5
hours and the a c t u a l n u m b e r of hours they
worked.
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.
97
210-652 O - 66
The figures presented in table B are to be used for
other characteristics and are approximations of the
standard errors of all such characteristics. They should
be interpreted as providing an indication of the order of
magnitude of the standard errors rather than as the
precise standard error for any specific item.
Reliability of the Estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ from the figures that would have been obtained if
it were possible to take a complete census using the
same schedules and procedures.
The standard error 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 month last year, the standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable
approximations.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that might occur by chance
because only a sample of the population is surveyed.
The chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from
the sample would differ from a complete census by less
than the standard error. The chances are about 19 out of
20 that the difference would be less than twice the
standard error.
Table A shows the average standard error for the
major employment status categories, by sex, computed
from data for past months. Estimates of change derived
from the survey are also subject to sampling variability.
The standard error of change for consecutive months is
also shown in table A. The standard errors of level shown
in table A are acceptable approximations of the standard
errors of year to year change.

Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total
number of persons working a specific number of hours
as 15,000,000, an increase of 500,000 over the previous
month. Linear interpolation in the first column of table B
shows that the standard error of 15,000,000 is about
160,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of
100 that the sample estimate differs by less than 160,000
from the figure which would have been obtained from a
complete count of the number of persons working the
given number of hours. Using the 160,000 as the standard

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

Establishment Data
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonfarm establishments, by industry and geographic location.
Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out only one employment or labor
turnover schedule, which is then used for national, State,
and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting
on the part of respondents and, together with the use of
identical techniques at the national and State levels,
insures maximum comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and
completeness. The States use the information to prepare
State and area series and then send the data to the BLS
for use in preparing the national series.
on Labor Turnover. These schedules are of the "shuttle"
type, with space for each month of the calendar year.
The schedule is returned to the respondent each month
by the collecting agency so that the next month's data
can be entered. This procedure assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting, since the respondent
can see the figures he has reported for previous months.
The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments and, for most industries,
payroll and man-hours of production and related workers
or nonsupervisory workers for the pay period which most
nearly coincides with the standard survey reference week
(the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of the month). The labor turnover
schedule provides for the collection of information on
the total number of accessions and separations, by type,
during the calendar month.
CONCEPTS
Industrial Classification
Shuttle Schedules
Two types of data collection schedules are used:
Form BLS 790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours; and Form DL 1219—Monthly Report
Establishments are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined
from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected each year on a supplement to the
monthly 790 or 1219 report. For an establishment making
more than * one product or engaging in more than one
activity, the entire employment of the establishment is
included under the industry indicated by the most important product or activity.
All national, State, and area employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover series are classified in
accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual Bureau of the Budget, 1957, as amended by the
1963 Supplement.
Industry Employment
Employment data for all except the Federal Government refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for any part of the pay period which includes
the 12th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, employment figures represent the number of
persons who occupied positions on the last day of the
calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if they
performed any service during the month.
Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not
above the working supervisory level) such as office and
clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators,
drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels,
and other employee? whose services are closely associated with those of the employees listed.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who
received pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the month. The payroll is reported
before deductions of any kind, e.g., for old-age and
unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding
tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly
by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly
each pay period), other pay not earned in pay period
reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free
rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed,
unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic
workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations
are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal military personnel are excluded
from total nonagricultural employment.
Man-hours cover man-hours worked or paid for,
during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month,
for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers.
The man-hours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly
from the firm.
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm),
on paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a
part of the pay period and are unemployed or on strike
during the rest of the period, are counted as employed.
Not counted as employed are persons who are laid off,
on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period,
or who are hired but do not report to work during the
period.
Overtime hours cover premium overtime hours of
production and related workers during the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month. Overtime hours
are those for which premiums were paid because the
hours were in excess of the number of hours of either
the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and
holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates
were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard,
incentive, or other similar types of premiums were paid
are excluded.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related
workers in manufacturing and mining, construction
workers in contract construction, and nonsupervisory
employees in the remaining nonfarm components. For
Federal Government, hours and earnings relate to all
employees who worked or received pay during the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month. Terms are
defined below. When the pay period reported is longer
than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weekly basis.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings are on a "gross" basis,
reflecting not only changes in basic hourly and incentive
wage rates, but also such variable factors as premium
pay for overtime and late-shift work, and changes in
output of workers paid on an incentive plan. Shifts in the
volume of employment between relatively high-paid and
low-paid work and changes in 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.
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.
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
Construction workers include the following employees
in the contract construction division: Working foremen,
journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, laborers, etc..
whether working at the site of construction or in shops
or yards, at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling)
ordinarily performed by members of the construction
trades.
100
the part of the employer since the following are excluded:
Irregular bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various
welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and
earnings for those employees not covered under the production-worker, construction worker, or nonsupervisoryemployee definitions.
Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars
are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social
security and income taxes from gross weekly earnings.
The amount of income tax liability depends on the number
of dependents supported by the worker, as well as on the
level of his gross income. To reflect these variables,
spendable earnings are computed for a worker with no
dependents, and a worker with three dependents. The
computations are based on the gross average weekly
earnings for all production or nonsupervisory workers in
the industry division without regard to marital status,
family composition, or total family income.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by
changes in gross average hourly earnings, but also by
changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work,
stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and
absenteeism.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for
the current month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 1957-59 dollars is thus adjusted for changes
in purchasing power since the base period.
Average Weekly Hours
The workweek information relates to the average
hours for which pay was received, and is different from
standard or scheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause
average weekly hours to be lower than scheduled hours
of work for an establishment. Group averages further
re.flect changes in the workweek of component industries.
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime pay are computed by dividing the total productionworker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total
production-worker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January 1956, these data were
based on the application of adjustment factors to gross
average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly
Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
1| times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made
for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday
work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time
and one-half.
Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of
regular hours and for which premium payments were
made. If an employee worked on a paid holiday at regular
rates, receiving as total compensation his holiday pay
plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no
overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not
necessarily move in the same direction, from month-tomonth; for example, premiums may be paid for hours in
excess of the straight-time workday although less than
a full week is worked. Diverse trends at the industrygroup level may also be caused by a marked change in
gross hours for a component industry where little or no
overtime was worked in both the previous and current
months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and manhours are prepared by dividing the current month's
aggregate by the monthly average for the 1957-59 period.
The man-hour aggregates are the product of average
weekly hours and production-worker employment, and the
payroll aggregates are the product of gross average
weekly earnings and production-worker employment.
Labor Turnover
Railroad Hours and Earnings
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employed status with
respect to individual establishments. This movement,
which relates to a calendar month, is divided into two
broad types; Accessions (new hires and rehires) and
separations (terminations of employment initiated by
either employer or employee). Each type of action is
cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees,
whether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary,
including executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers. Transfers to another
establishment of the company are included, beginning
with January 1959.
The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching and terminal companies) are based on monthly data
summarized in the M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate to all employees who received pay during the month, except executives, officials,
and staff assistants (ICC group I). Gross average hourly
earnings are computed by dividing total compensation
by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for reduced to a weekly basis, by the number of employees, as
defined above. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly houre by average
hourly earnings.

been employed in the establishment (except employees
transferring from another establishment of the same
company) or of former employees not recalled by the
employer.
The "Link Relative" Technique
From a sample composed of establishments reporting
for both the previous and current months, the ratio of
current month employment to that of the previous month
is computed. This is called a link relative. The estimates
of employment (all employees, including production and
nonproduction workers together) for the current month
are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the pre^vious month by these "link relatives." Other features of
the general procedures are described later in the table,
Summary of Methods for Computing Industry Statistics
on Employment, Hours, Earnings, and Labor Turnover.
Further details are given in the technical notes on
Measurement of Employment, Hours, and Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries and on Measurement of Labor Turnover, which are available upon request.
Other accessions, which are not published separately
but are included in total accessions, are all additions to
the employment roll which are not classified as new
hires, including transfers from another establishment
of the company.
Separations are terminations of employment during
the calendar month and are classified according to cause:
Quits, layoffs, and other separations, are defined as
follows:
Size and Regional Stratification
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight
the hours and earnings into broader industry groupings.
Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an employment,
hours, or earnings series, as the term is used in the
summary of computational methods may be a whole
industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size
stratum of a region within an industry.
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized absences, if on the last day of the month the
person has been absent more than 7 consecutive calendar
days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days,
initiated by the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Benchmark Adjustments
0 the r sep arations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations
of employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and entrance into the Armed Forces
for a period expected to last more than 30 consecutive
calendar days.
Employment estimates are periodically compared
with comprehensive counts of employment which provide
"benchmarks" for the various nonagriculturalindustries,
and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The
industry estimates are currently projected from March
1964 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.
Comparability With Employment Series
The primary source of benchmark information is the
employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by
State agencies from reports of establishments covered
under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, covering three-fourths of the total nonfarm employment in the United States, are prepared under the
direction of the Bureau of Employment Security. Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and a number of other agencies
in private industry or government.
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates
are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's
employment series for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month; and (2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions
although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates if the work stoppage extends through the
report period.
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series
of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark
and the preceding one, and the new benchmark for each
industry is then carried forward progressively to the
current month by use of the sample trends. Thus, under
ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the
use of the "link relative" technique, which is a form of
102
this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the
level of employment, while the sample is used to measure
the month-to-month changes in the level.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which
the series has been adjusted are therefore subject to
revision. To provide users of the data with a convenient
reference source for the revised data, the BLS publishes
as soon as possible after each benchmark revision a
summary volume of employment, hours, earnings, and
labor turnover statistics. The current volume in this
s e r i e s is Employment and Earnings Statistics for the
United States, 1909-65, Bulletin 1312-3 (Dec. 1965), and
contains monthly statistics from the earliest date of
availability through August 1965.
In the context of the BLS employment and labor
turnover statistics program, with their emphasis on producing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be
obtained which will provide coverage of a sufficiently
large segment of the universe to provide reasonably
reliable estimates that can be published promptly and
regularly. The present sample meets these specifications for most industries. With its use, the BLS is able
to produce preliminary estimates each month for many
industries and for many geographic levels within a few
weeks after reports are mailed by respondents, and at a
somewhat later date, statistics in considerably greater
industrial detail. The tendency of such a sample to
produce biased .estimates of the level of earnings for
certain industries is counteracted by the stratified estimating procedure described under "EstimatingMethods."
THE SAMPLE
Design
Coverage
The sampling plan used in the current employment
statistics program is an optimum allocation design known
as "sampling proportionate to average size of establishment." The universe of establishments is stratified first
by industry and then within each industry by size of
establishment in terms of employment. For each industry
the total size of sample is distributed among the size
class cells on the basis of average employment per
establishment in each cell. In practice, this is equivalent
to distributing the predetermined total number of establishments required in the sample among the cells on the
basis of the ratio of employment in each cell to total
employment in the industry. Within each stratum the
sample members are selected at random.
The BLS sample of establishment employment and
payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the
field of social statistics. The table that follows shows
the approximate proportion of total employment in each
industry division covered by the group of establishments
furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for
individual industries within the division may vary from
the proportions shown.
Approximate size and coverage of BLS employment
and payrolls sample, March 19641
Employees
Under this type of design, large establishments fall
into the sample with certainty. The size of the samples
for the various industries is determined empirically
on the basis of experience and of cost considerations.
In a manufacturing industry in which a high proportion of
total employment is concentrated in a relatively few
establishments, a large percentage of total employment
is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample
design for such industries provides for a complete
census of the larger establishments with only a few
chosen from among the smaller establishments or none
at all if the concentration of employment is great
enough. On the other hand, in an industry in which a
large proportion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all
large establishments, and also for a substantial number
of the smaller ones. Many industries in the trade and
service divisions fall into this category. In order to keep
the sample to a size which can be handled by available
resources, it is necessary to accept samples in these
divisions with a smaller proportion of universe employment than is the case for most manufacturing industries.
Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show less fluctuation from
regular cyclical or seasonal patterns than establishments
in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples
(in terms of employment) generally produce reliable
estimates.

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

Communication:
For the most recent months, national estimates of
employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and
are so footnoted in the tables. These particular figures
are based on less than the full sample and consequently
are subject to revisions when all the reports in the
sample have been received. Studies of these revisions
of preliminary estimates in the past indicate that they
have been relatively small (and most frequently upward)
for employment, and even smaller for hours and earnings.
Reliability of the Employment Estimate
One measure of the reliability of an employment
estimate projected from a benchmark is the amount by
which it differs from the new benchmark at the next
adjustment period. The BLS uses this criterion rather
than the standard error of the estimates. An approximation of the accuracy of the BLS employment estimates
is shown by the following table:
STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and
labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State
agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics
relate to metropolitan areas. Definitions for all areas
are published each year in the issue of Employment and
Earning sand Monthly Report on the Labor Force that contains State and area annual averages. Changes in
definitions are noted as they occur. Additional industry
detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed
on the inside back cover of each issue. These statistics
are based on the same establishment reports used by
BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sum of the State figures may differ slightly
from the equivalent official U.S. totals on a national
basis, because some States have more recent benchmarks than others and because of the effects of differing
industrial and geographic stratification.

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE DATA
Insured unemployment represents the number of persons reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment insurance program. It includes some persons
who are working part time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and household surveys. Excluded
are persons who have exhausted their benefit rights, new
workers who have not earned rights to unemployment
insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local
government, domestic service, self-employment, unpaid
family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a
minimum size). The rate of insured unemployment is the
number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent of
average covered employment in a 12-month period ending
6 to 8 months prior to the week of reference. Initial
claims are notices filed by those losing jobs covered by.
an unemployment insurance program that they are starting a period of unemployment. A claimant who continues
to be unemployed a full week is then counted in the
insured, unemployment figure.
Because of differences in State laws and procedures
under which unemployment insurance programs are operated, State unemployment rates generally indicate, but
do not precisely measure, differences among the individual States. Persons wishing to receive a detailed
description of the nature, sources, inclusions and exclusions, and limitations of unemployment insurance data
should address their inquiries to Bureau of Employment
Security, Washington, D.C.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring
seasonal movement which can be estimated on the basis
of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change
which can be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is
possible to observe the cyclical and other nonseasonal
movements in the series. However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern—that is, changes in a
seasonally adjusted series—it is important to note that
seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based
on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have
a broader margin of possible error than the original
data on which they are based, since they are subject not
only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are
affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment
process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected
labor force and establishment data are published regularly
in Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the
Labor Force.
gate weekly man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for the
appropriate component industries and dividing by the
1957-59 base.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these series
is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average
method, with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors
to take account of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed
description of the method is given in the booklet, The BLS
Seasonal Factor Method (1964), which may be obtained
from the Bureau on request. An earlier version of the
method is described in Appendix G of the 1962 Report of
the President's Committee to Appraise Employment and
Unemployment Statistics, Measuring Employment and
Unemployment,
For establishment data, the seasonally adjusted
series on weekly hours and labor turnover rates for
industry groupings are computed by applying factors
directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, but
seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees
and production workers by industry divisions are obtained by summing the seasonally adjusted data which
are published for component industries. Indexes of
aggregate weekly man-hours seasonally adjusted, for
mining, contract construction, and the major industries
in manufacturing are obtained by multiplying average ,
weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production workers,
seasonally adjusted and dividing by the 1957-59 base.
For total, manufacturing, and durable and nondurable
goods, the indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours,
seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggre-
105
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal Government are based on a series which excludes
the Christmas temporary help employed by the Post
Office Department in December. The employment of these
workers constitutes the only significant seasonal change
in Federal Government employment during the winter
months. Furthermore, the volume of such employment
may change substantially from year to year because of
administrative decisions by the Post Office Department.
Hence, it was considered desirable to exclude this group
from the data upon which the seasonally adjusted series
is based. Factors currently in use for the establishment
data are shown in the December 1965 Employment and
Earnings, and revisions will be made coincidental with
the adjustment of series to new benchmark levels.
For each of the three major labor force componentsagricultural and nonagricultural employment, and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and
female workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then
added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In ordei
to produce seasonally adjusted total employment and
civilian labor force data, the appropriate series are
aggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted
figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the
seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the sum of
twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current
data are based on a pattern shown by past experience.
These factors are revised in the light of the pattern
revealed by subsequent data. Revised seasonally adjusted
series for major components of the labor force based on
data through December 1965 are published in the February
1966 Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on
the Labor Force. Revisions will be made annually as each
additional year's data become available.
