The statistics are an integral part of the Federal statistical system, and are considered basic indica tors of the state of the Nation's economy. They are widely used in folloving and interpreting business developments and in making decisions in such fields as labor-management negotiations, marketing, personnel, plant location, and government policy. In addition, Government agencies use the data in this renort to com pile official indexes of production, labor productivity, and national income. ESTABUSHMENT REPORTS: a. duct. Information for nonmanufacturing establish ments is collected on the 790 form itself. In the case of an establishment making more than one product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire employment of the unit is included under the industry indicated by the most important product or activity. The titles and descriptions of industries presented in the Standard Industrial Clasaifical Manual. (U. S. Bureau of the Budget, Washington, D. C.) are used for classifying reports fjrom manufacturing and government establishments; the 1942 Industrial Classification Code. (U. S. Social Security Board) for reports from all other establishments. c. Coverage Monthly reports on employment and, for most indus tries, payroll and man-hours are obtained from approx imately 155,000 establishments. (See table below.) The table also 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 fTrom the proportions shown.

EMPLOYMENT Definition Employment data for all except Federal Government establishments refer to persons who worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. For Federal Government establishments current data generally refer to persons who worked on, or received pay for, the last day of the month. Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid sick leave, paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the specified pay period and are un employed or on strike during the other part of the period are counted as employed. Persons are not con sidered employed who are laid off or are on leave with out pay, who are on strike for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during the period. Proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in house holds are also excluded. Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal military personnel are shown separately, but their number is excluded from total nonagricultural employment. With respect to employment in educational institu tions (private and governmental), BLS considers regular full-time teachers to be employed during the summer vacation period whether or not they are specifically paid in those months. Benchmark Data Employment estimates are periodically compared with complete counts of employment in the various nonagri 2-E cultural industries, and appropriate adjustments made as indicated by the total counts or benchmarks. The comparison made for the first 3 months of 1 9 % re sulted in changes amounting to less than 0.2 percent of all nonagricultural employment. Among the indus try divisions changes ranged from 0.2 percent for finance, insurance,and real estate to 3.1 percent in contract construction. Manufacturing industries as a whole were changed by 0.3 percent. Within manufac turing, 57 of the 132 individual industries required no adjustment because the estimate and benchmark dif fered by less than 1.0 percent or less than 500 and 59 were adjusted by 1.0 - 5.0 percent. The most sig nificant cause of differences between the benchmark and estimate for these individual industries was the change in industrial classification of individual firms which cannot be reflected in BLS estimates until they are adjusted to new benchmarks. During 1953 more than 250,000 employees were in establishments whose industry classification changed. Other causes of dif ferences were sampling and response errors. The basic sources of benchmark information are the quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled by State agencies &rom reports of establish ments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance arc used for the group of establishments exempt from State unem ployment insurance laws because of their small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a variety of other sources. The BLS estimates which are prepared for the benchmark quarter are compared with the new benchmark levels, industry by industry. Where revisions are necessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one. Following revision for these intermediate periods, the industry data from the most recent benchmark are projected to the current month by use of the sample trends. Under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the level of employment while the sample is used to measure the month-to-month changes in the level. Estimating Msthod The estimating procedure for industries for which data on both "all employees" and "production and re lated workers" are published (manufacturing and selected mining industries) is outlined below; the first step under this method is also used for indus tries for which only figures on "all employees" are published. The first step is to compute total employment (all employees) in the industry for the month following the benchmark period. The all-employee total for the last benchmark month (e.g., March) is multiplied by the percent change of total employment over the month for the group of establishments reporting for both March and April. Thus, if firms in the BLS sample for an industry report 30,000 employees in Mirch and 31,200 in April, April employment is 104 percent (31,200 divided by 30,000) of March employment. If the all employee benchmark in March is 40,000, the all-employee total in April would be 104 percent of 40,000 or 41 , 600. The second step is to compute the productionworker total for the industry. The all-employee total for the month is multiplied by the ratio of production vorkers to all employees. This ratio is computed from establishment reports in the monthly sample. Thus, if these firms in April report 24,,960 production vorkers and a total of 31,200 employees, the ratio of produc tion vorkers to all employees would be .80 (24,960 divided by 31,200). The production-vorker total in April vould be 33,280 (41,600 multiplied by .80). Figures for subsequent months are computed by carrying forward the totals for the previous nxxith ac cording to the method described above. The number of vomen employees in manufacturing, published quarterly, is computed by multiplying the all-employee estimate for the industry by the ratio of vomen to all employees as reported in the industry sample. Employment Adjusted for Seasonal Variation Employment series for many industries reflect a regularly recurring seasonal movement vhich can be measured on the basis of past experience. By elimi nating that part of the change in employment vhich can be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is pos sible to clarify the cyclical end other nonseasonal movements in the series. Adjusted employment aggre gates are shovn and also indexes (1947-49 = 100) de rived R*om these aggregates. The indexes have the additional advantage of comparing the current sea sonally adjusted employment level vith average employ ment in the base period. Comparability vith Other Employment Estimates Employment data published by other government and private agencies may differ from BLS employment sta tistics because of differences in definition, sources of information, methods of collection, classification, and estimation. BLS monthly figures are not directly comparable, for examnle, vith the estimates of the Census Monthly Report on the Labor Force (MIL?). Census data are obtained by personal interviews vith individual members of a small sample of households and are designed to provide information on the work status of the vhole population, classified by their demographic characteristics. The BLS, on the other hand, obtains data by mail questionnaire vhich are based on the payroll records of business units, and prepares detailed statistics on the industrial and geographic distribution of employment and on hours of vork and earnings. Since BLS employment figures are based on estab lishment payroll records, persons vho vorked in more than one establishment during the reporting period will be counted more than once in the BLS series. By definition, proprietors, self-employed persons, domes tic servants, and unpaid family vorkers are excluded from the BLS but not the MMJF series. Employment estimates derived by the Bureau of the Census Arom its censuses and/or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments also differ Rrom BLS employment statistics. Among the important reasons for lack of comparability are differences in indus tries covered, in the business units considered parts of an establishment, and in the industrial classifi cation of establishments. Similar differences exist betveen the BLS data and those in Countv Business Patterns published jointly by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare. B. LABOR TURNOVER Definition "Labor turnover," as used in the BLS program, re fers to the gross movement of wage and salary vorkers into and out of employment status vith respect to in dividual firms during a calendar month. This movement is subdivided into two broad types: accessions (nev 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. All em ployees, including executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers are cov ered by both the turnover movements and the employment base used in computing labor turnover rates. All groups of employees— full- and part-time, permanent, and temporary— are included. Transfers from one es tablishment to another vithin a company are not con sidered to be turnover items. Method of Computation To compute turnover rates for individual indus tries, the total number of each type of action (ac cessions, quits, etc.) reported for a calendar month by the sample establishments in each industry is first divided by the total number of employees reported by these establishments, vho vorked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of that month. The result is multiplied by 100 to obtain the turnover rate. For example, in an industry sample, the total number of employees vho worked during, or received pay for, the veek of January 12-18 vas reported as 25,498. During the period January 1-31 a total of 284 employees in all reporting firms quit. The quit rate for the industry is: 284 x 100 = 1.1 25,496 To compute turnover rates for broader industrial categories, the rates for the component industries are veighted by the estimated employment. Separate turnover rates for men and vomen are pub lished quarterly for 1 month in each quarter. Only accessions, quits, and total separations are publish ed. These rates are computed in the same manner as the all-employee rates; for example, the quit rate for vomen is obtained from an industry sample by dividing the number of vomen vho quit during the month by the number of vomen employees reported. Average monthly turnover rates for the year for all employees are computed by dividing the sum of the monthly rates by 12. Comparability with Earlier Data Labor turnover rates are available on a compara ble basis from January 1930 for manufacturing as a vhole and from 1943 for tvo coal mining and tvo com munication industries. Rates for many individual in dustries and industry groups for the period prior to January 1950 are not comparable vith those for the subsequent period because of a revision vhich in volved (1) the adoption of the Standard Industrial Classification (1945) code structure for manufactur ing industries, and (2) the introduction of veighting in the computation of industry-group rates. Comparability with Ennloyment Series Manth-to-month changes in total employment in man ufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not cornparable vith 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 em ployment reports, for the most part, refer to a 1-week pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. (2) The turnover sample excludes certain in dustries (see under coverage, p. 2-E). (3) Plants on strike are not included in the turnover computations beginning with the month the strike starts through the month the workers return; the influence of such stoppages is reflected, however, in the employment figures. C. HOURS AND EARNINGS Definitions of production workers, nonsupervisory employees, payrolls, and man-hours from which hours and earnings data are derived are included in the glossary, page 7 - E . Methods used to compute hours and earnings averages are described in summary of methods for computing national statistics, page 6-E. as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to be lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishments. Group averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component industries. Groas Average Meekly Earnings in Current and 19A7-A9 Dollars These series indicate changes in the level of weekly earnings before and after adjustment for changes in purchasing power as determined from the BLS Consumer Price Index. Net Spendable Average Weekly Earnings Net spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are obtained by deducting Federal social se curity and income taxes Arom 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, net spendable earnings have been computed for two types of income receivers: (1) a worker with no dependents; and (2) a worker with three depend ents. The computations of net spendable earnings for both the factory worker with no dependents and the factory worker with three dependents are based upon the gross average weekly earnings for all production workers in manufacturing industries without regard to marital status, family conposition, and total family income. Gross Average Hourly and Meekly Earnings Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and non manufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, i.e., they reflect not only changes in basic hourly and in centive 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 basis. Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions further refleet changes in average hourly earnings for individual industries. Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings refer to the actual return to the worker for a stated period of time; rates are the amounts stimu lated for a given unit of work or time. However, the average earnings series does not measure the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer, since the following are excluded: irregular bonuses, ret roactive items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under the productionworker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions. Gross average weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross average hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of the workweek, parttime work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turn over, and absenteeism. Average Veekly Hours The workweek information relates to average hours worked or paid for, and is somewhat different from standard or scheduled hours. Normally, such factors Net spendable weekly earnings in 1947-49 dollars represent an approximate measure of changes in "real" net spendable weekly earning s. "Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index into the spendable earnings average for the current month. The resulting level of spendable earnings ex pressed in 1947-49 dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since that base period. Average Hourly Earnings. Excluding Overtime, of Production Workers in Manufacturing Industries These data are based on the application of adjust ment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as de scribed in the Mpnthlv Labor Review. May 1950, pp. 537540; reprint available, Serial No. R. 2020). This method eliminates only the earnings due to overtime paid for at one and one-half times the straight-time rates after 40 hours a week. Thus, no adjustment is made for other premium-payment provisions— for example, holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and one-half. Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Man-Hours The indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours are pre pared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the monthly average for the 1947-49 period. These aggre gates represent the product of average weekly hours and employment. The aggregate man-hours are defined as total manhours for which pay was received by full- and parttime production or construction workers, including hours paid for holidays, sick leave, and vacations taken. The man-hours are for 1 week of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, and may not be typical of the entire month. other industry information shown in this publication. Railroad Hours and Earnings STATtSTKS FOR STATES AND AREAS The figures for Class I railroads (excluding switching and terminal companies) are based upon month ly data summarized in the M-300 report of the Inter state Commerce Commission and relate to all employees who received pay during the month, except executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC Croup 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. Cross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by Average hourly earning s. Because hours and earnings data for manufacturing and other nonmanufacturing industries are based upon reports to the BLS which generally represent 1 weekly pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, the data for railroad employees are not strictly comparable with State and area employment, hours, and earnings statistics are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation with the BLS. These sta tistics are based on the same establishment reports used by the BLS for preparing national estimates. State employment series are adjusted to benchmark data from State unemployment insurance agencies and the Bureau of d d Age and Survivors Insurance. Because some States have more recent benchmarks than others and use slightly varying methods of computation, the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from the official U. S. totals prepared by the BLS. NOTE: Additional industry detail may be obtainable from the cooperating State agencies listed on the inside back cover of this report. Additional information concerning the prepa ration of the employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover series-- concepts and scope, survey methods, and reliability and limitations-- is contained in techni cal notes for each of these series.
