APRIL 1959

The employment situation showed substantial im­
provement in April 1959 as the number of nonfarm jobs
rose by almost 500,000 over the month to 51.3 million.
Significantly better-than-seasonal job gains continued
to be reported in durable goods industries and in
construction.

mainly seasonal except for apparel, where the job drop
was less than the usual amount, and rubber, where
strikes affected the employment level.
Sizable job gains continued to be reported both in
building and in highway construction. Increases in
other industries were mainly seasonal.

Both the factory workweek and earnings increased
over the month.
The workweek in manufacturing— ^0.3
hours in April--was 2 hours longer than a year ago and
at the high levels of April 1955 and 1956. Average
weekly earnings rose by 63 cents over the month to
$89.87 a week, an alltime high.

Factory Hours and Earnings Continue Rise

The workweek in manufacturing again increased
slightly over the month, reaching ^0.3 hours in April.
In durable goods industries a rise of two-tenths hours
marked the continuation of improvement which has added
an hour to weekly worktime (allowing for seasonal vari­
ation) since the beginning of the year.

Employment Up in Metals and Machinery Industries
Employment in manufacturing rose by 30>000 to 16
million in April instead of showing the usual seasonal
decline for this time of year. The recovery in factory
employment has accelerated during the past few months,
and in April the number of tfactory jobs was 900,000
above the recession level of a year ago. Employment in
manufacturing, however, was still 800,000 less than in
April 1957.

Factory workers averaged about 2-1/2 hours of
overtime in April. Mortf than half of the 2-hour rise
in the factory workweek since last April was due to in­
creased overtime.
Hourly earnings continued to rise, moving up by 1
cent over the month to $2.23. The increase from a year
ago amounted to 12 cents per hour, and was attributable
both to wage rate increases and to more overtime work
at premium pay.

Employment in durable goods industries showed a
substantially better-than-seasonal rise in April.
The
number of jobs in this sector increased by 75,000 over
the month, with significant gains in primary and fabri­
cated metals and in the machinery industries. An in­
crease of 25,000 in the primary metals industry contin­
ued the recent pattern of sharp employment recovery in
ftteel. Job changes in nondurable goods industries were




Higher hourly earnings and the longer workweek
brought weekly earnings in manufacturing to a new
record of $89.87 in April, up 63 cents over the month.
Weekly earnings were more than $9 above a year ago,
mainly due to increased hours and overtime pay.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
INTRODUCTION
The statistics for nonfarm industries presented in
this monthly report are part of the broad program of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics to provide timely, com­
prehensive, accurate, and detailed information for the
use of businessmen, government officials, legislators,
labor unions, research workers, and the general public.
The statistics are an integral part of the Federal sta­
tistical system, and are considered basic indicators of
the state of the Nation*s economy. They are widely
used in following and interpreting business develop­
ments and in making decisions in such fields as labormanagement negotiations, marketing, personnel, plant
location, and government policy. In addition, Govern­
ment agencies use the data in this report to compile
official indexes of production, labor productivity, and
national income.

ESTABLISHMENT REPORTS:
a.

Collection

The employment statistics program, which is based
on establishment payroll reports, provides current data
for both full- and part-time workers on payrolls of
nonagricultural establishments (see glossary for defi­
nition, p. 7-E) during a specified period each month.
The BLS uses two "shuttle" schedules for this program,
the BLS Form 790 (for employment, payroll, and manhours data) and the Form 1219 (for labor turnover data).
The shuttle schedule, used by BLS since 1930, is de­
signed to assist firms to report consistently, accu­
rately, and with a minimum of cost. The questionnaire
provides space for the establishment to report for each
month of the current calendar year; in this way, the
employer uses the same schedule for the entire year.
Under a cooperative arrangement with the BLS, State
agencies mail the forms to the establishments and exam­
ine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and com­
pleteness. The States use the information to prepare
State and area series and then send the data to the BLS
Division of Manpower and Employment Statistics for use
in preparing the national series.
b.

Industrial Classification

Establishments are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined
from information on annual sales volume. This informa­
tion is collected each year on a product supplement to
the monthly 790 or 1219 report. The supplement provides
for reporting the percentage of total sales or receipts
represented by each product or activity. In the case of
an establishment making more than one product or engag­
ing in more than one activity, the entire employment of
the unit is included under the industry indicated by the
most important product or activity.




Prior to publication of State and area data for
January 1959, all national, State, and area employment,
hours, earnings, and labor turnover series were classi­
fied in accordance with the following documents: (1 )
For manufacturing, Standard Industrial Classification
Manual, Volume I, Bureau of the Budget, November 19*5;
(2) for nonmanufacturing industries, Industrial Classi­
fication Code, Federal Security Agency, Social Security
Board, 1942.
Beginning with January 1959, State and area series
are classified in accordance with the revised Standard
Industrial Classification Manual published by the Bu­
reau of the Budget in 1957* The national industry sta­
tistics will be converted to the 1957 SIC in late i960.
c.

Coverage

Monthly reports on employment and, for most indus­
tries, payroll and man-hours are obtained from approx­
imately 180,000 establishments. The table below shows
the approximate proportion of total employment in each
industry division covered by the group of establish­
ments furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage
for individual industries within the division may vary
from the proportions shown.

if Some firms do not report payroll and man-hour information. Therefore, hours and earnings estimates may
be based on a slightly smaller sample than employment
estimates.
2/ 2,300 reports covering 1 ,*30,000 employees, col­

table below). The definition of manufacturing used in
the turnover series is not as extensive as in the BLS
series on employment and hours and earnings because of
the exclusion of the following major industries from the
labor turnover sample: Printing, publishing, and allied
industries (since April 19*3); canning and preserving
fruits, vegetables, and sea foods; women's and misses'

DEFINITIONS AND ESTIMATING
METHODS:
A-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.

defined as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments
made as indicated by the total counts or benchmarks.
The comparison made for the first 3 months of 1957 re­
sulted in changes amounting to 0.5 percent of all nonagricultural employment, identical with the extent of
the adjustment to the first quarter 1956 benchmark.
The changes were less than 0.5 percent for 3 of the 8
major industry divisions; under 2 percent for 2 other
divisions; and 3 .2 , 3 .3 , and 6 .* percent for the re­
maining 3 divisions. The manufacturing total was
changed by only 0.1 percent for the second successive
year. Within manufacturing, the benchmark and estimate
differed by 1.0 percent or less in 39 of the 132 indi­
vidual industries, *1 industries were adjusted by 1.1
to 2.5 percent, and an additional 27 industries dif­
fered by 2.6-5 .O percent. One significant cause of
differences between the benchmark and estimate is the
change in industrial classification of individual
firms, which is usually not reflected in BLS estimates
until they are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other
causes are sampling and response errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of tirployment data, by industry,
compiled by State agencies from reports of establish­
ments covered under State unemployment insurance laws.
Supplementary tabulations prepared by the U. S. Bureau
of Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance are
used for the group of establishments exempt from State
unemployment insurance laws because of their small
size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly ex­
cluded from the unemployment insurance laws are de­
rived from a variety of other sources.
The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark
quarter are compared with the new benchmark levels, in­
dustry by industry. Where revisions are necessary, the
monthly estimates are adjusted between the new bench­
mark 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 proced­
ure, 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 Method

Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm),
paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who work during a part
of the specified pay period and are unemployed or on
strike during the other part of the period are counted
as employed. Persons are not considerered employed who
are laid off or are on leave without 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 households are also excluded. Government employment
covers only civilian employees; Federal military person­
nel 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 industries

2-E




The estimating procedure for industries for which
data on both all employees and production or nonsupervisory workers are published 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 per­
cent 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 indus­
try report 30,000 employees in March and 31,200 in
April, April employment is 10* percent (31,200 divided
by 30,000) of March employment. If the all-employee
benchmark in March is *0,000, the all-employee total in
April would be 10* percent of *0,000 or *1,600.
The second step is to compute the production- or
nonsupervisory-worker total for the industry. The all­
employee total for the month is multiplied by the ratio
of production or nonsupervisory workers to all employees.

This ratio is computed from establishment reports in
the monthly sample. Thus, if the firms in the previous
example report 24,960 production workers and a total of
31,200 employees in April, the ratio of production
workers to all employees would be .80 (24,960 divided
by 31,200). The production-worker total in April would
be 33,280 (41,600 multiplied by .80 ).
Figures for subsequent months are computed by carry­
ing forward the totals for the previous month according
to the method described above.
The number of women employees in manufacturing, pub­
lished quarterly, is computed by multiplying the all­
employee estimate for the i. ustry by the ratio of women
to all employees as reported in the industry sample.
Employme

Adjusted for Seasonal Variation

Employment series for many industries reflect a reg­
ularly recurring seasonal movement which can be measured
on the basis of past experience. By eliminating that
part of the change in employment which can be ascribed
to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to clarify
the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the
series. Adjusted employment aggregates are shown and
also indexes (19*7-49 * 100) derived from these aggre­
gates. The indexes have the additional advantage of
comparing the current seasonally adjusted employment
level with average employment in the base period.

B-Labor Turnover
Definition
"Labor turnover,”as used in the BLS program, re­
fers to the gross movement of wage and salary workers
into and out of employment status with respect to in­
dividual establishments during a calendar month. This
movement 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 em­
ployees. All employees, including executive, office,
sales, other salaried personnel, and production
workers, are covered by both the turnover movements
and the employment base used in computing labor turn­
over rates. All groups of employees--full- and. parttime, permanent, and temporary— are included.
Method of Computation
To compute turnover rates for individual indus­
tries, the total number of each type of action (acces­
sions, 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, who worked 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.

Comparability with Other Employment Estimates
Employment data published by other government and
private agencies may differ from BLS employment statis­
tics because of differences in definition, sources of
information, methods of collection, classification, and
estimation. BLS monthly figures are not directly com­
parable, for example, with the estimates of the Census
Monthly Report on the Labor Force (MRLF). Census data
are obtained by personal interviews with individual mem­
bers of a small sample of households and are designed to
provide information on the work status of the whole pop­
ulation, classified by their demographic characteris­
tics. The BLS, on the other hand, obtains data by mail
questionnaire which 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 work and earnings.
Since BLS employment figures are derived from estab­
lishment payroll records, persons who worked in more
than one establishment during the reporting period will
be counted more than once in the BLS series. By defini­
tion, proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic ser­
vants, and unpaid family workers are excluded from the
BLS but not the MRLF series.
Employment estimates compiled by the Bureau of the
Census from its censuses and/or annual sample surveys of
manufacturing establishments also differ from BLS em­
ployment statistics. Among the important reasons for
lack of comparability are differences in industries cov­
ered, in the business units considered parts of an
establishment, and in the industrial classification of
establishments. Similar differences exist between the
BLS data and those in County Business Patterns published
jointly by the U. S. Department of Commerce and the U. S.
Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.




For example, in an industry sample, the total num­
ber of employees who worked during, or received pay
for, the week of January 12-18 was 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

25,498

To compute turnover rates for broader industrial
categories, the rates for the component industries are
weighted by the estimated employment.
Separate turnover rates for men and women are pub­
lished quarterly for 1 month in each quarter. Only
accessions, quits, and total separations are published.
These rates are computed in the same manner as the
all-employee rates; for example, the quit rate for
women is obtained from an industry sample by dividing
the number of women who quit during the month by the
number of women 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 comparable
basis from January 1930 for manufacturing as a whole
and from 1943 for two coal mining and two communica­
tion industries. Rates for many individual industries
and industry groups for the period prior to January
1950 are not comparable with those for the subsequent
period because of a revision which involved (1 ) the
adoption of the Standard Industrial Classification

3-E

(19*5 ) code structure for manufacturing industries, and
(2 ) the introduction of weighting in the computation of
industry-group rates.
Comparability with Employment Series

Month-to-month changes in total employment in manu­
facturing 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, for the most part, refer to a 1 week pay period ending nearest the 15th of
the month.
(2) The turnover sample excludes certain indus­
tries (see under coverage, p. 2-E).
(3) Plant8 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 comput­
ing national statistics, page 6-E.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly 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 incen­
tive wage rate8, but also such variable factors as pre­
mium 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 lowpaid 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.
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 stipulated
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 fol­
lowing are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive
items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll
taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those
employees not covered under the production-worker or
nonsupervisory-employee definitions.
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, part-time work,
stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and
absenteeism.
Average Weekly Hours

The workweek Information relates to average hours
worked or paid for, and is somewhat different from
*-E




standard or scheduled hours. Normally, such factors as
absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and stop­
pages cause average weekly hours to be lower than
scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of
component industries.
Average Overtime Hours

The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of reg­
ular hours and for which premium payments were made.
If an employee works on a paid holiday at regular rates,
receiving as total compensation his holiday pay plus
straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no over­
time hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by defini­
tion, the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not
necessarily move in the same direction from month to
month; for example, premiums may be paid for hours in
excess of the straight-time workday although less than
a full week is worked. Diverse trends on the 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, ab­
senteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same in­
fluence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
Spendable Average Weekly Earnings

Spendable average weekly earnings in current
dollars are obtained by deducting Federal social secu­
rity 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 have been computed for two types of
income receivers: (1) A worker with no dependents; and
(2 ) a worker with three dependents.
The computations of spendable earnings for both the
production or construction worker with no dependents
and the worker with thr*e dependents are based on the
gross average weekly earnings for all such workers in
manufacturing, mining, or contract construction indus­
tries without regard to marital status, family compo­
sition, and total family income.
Gross and spendable weekly earnings in 19*7-*9 dol­
lars represent an approximate measure of changes in
"real" earnings. "Real" earnings are computed by di­
viding the current Consumer Price Index into the earn­
ings average for the current month. The resulting
level of earnings expressed in 19*7-*9 dollars is thus
adjusted for changes in purchasing power since that
base period.
Average Hourly Earnings, Excluding Overtime,
of Production Workers in Manufacturing
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, data were
based on the application of adjustment factors to gross
average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly
Labor Review, May 1950, PP* 537-5*0). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No ad­
justment is made for other premium payment provisions,

data for manufacturing and other nonmanufacturing in­
dustries are based upon reports to the ELS which gener­
ally represent 1 weekly pay period ending nearest the
15th of the month, the data for railroad employees are
not strictly comparable with other industry information
shown in this publication.

for example— holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime
rates other than time and one-half.
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 1947-49 period.
The man-hour aggregates represent 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. Manhours and payrolls are defined in the glossary, page
7-E.

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area data 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 em­
ployment series are adjusted to benchmark data from
State unemployment insurance agencies and the Bureau of
Old Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance. The sum
of the State figures may differ slightly from the offi­
cial U. S. totals prepared by the BLS because of differ­
ences in the timing of benchmark adjustments and
slightly varying methods of computation.

Railroad Hours and Earnings
The figures for Class I railroads (excluding switch­
ing and terminal companies) are based upon monthly data
summarized in the M-300 report of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and relate to all employees who re­
ceived pay during the month, except executives, offi­
cials, and staff assistants (ICC Group I). Gross aver­
age hourly earnings are computed by dividing total com­
pensation 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 em­
ployees, as defined above. Gross average weekly earn­
ings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by
average hourly earnings. Because hours and earnings

ness is conducted or where services or industrial
operations are performed; for example, a factory,
mill, store, mine, or farm. Where a single physical
location comprises two or more units which maintain
separate payroll and inventory records and which are
engaged in distinct or separate activities for which
different industry classifications are provided in
the Standard Industrial Classification, each unit
shall be treated as a separate establishment. An
establishment is not necessarily identical with the
business concern or firms which may consist of one or
more establishments. It is also to be distinguished
from organizational subunits, departments, or divi­
sions within an establishment." (Standard Industrial
Classification Manual, U. S. Bureau of the Budget,
Vol. I, Part I, p. 1, November 19*5.)
