CAUTION
Periodically, the Bureau adjusts
the industry employment series to a
recent benchmark to improve their accuracy.
These
adjustments may
also
affect the hours and earnings series
because employment levels are used as
weights. All industry statistics after
March 1959^ the present benchmark date,
are therefore subject to revision.
Beginning with November 1961 and
subsequent issues of Employment and
Earninps, data in tables B-l through
B-I4, (T^l through C-7, and D-l through
D-3 are based on the 1957 Standard
Industrial
Classification
and
a
March 1959 benchmark.
Therefore,
issues of Employment and Earnings prior
to November 1961 cannot be used in conjunction with national industry data
now shown in sections B, C, and D.
Comparable data for prior periods are
published in Employment and Earnings
Statistics for
nited States, 190960,
_ which may be purchased from the
Supe
uperintendent of Documents for 03.
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
Earnings
Statistics for the United States wTTT
be issued containing the revised data
extending from April 1959 forward to a
current date, as well as the prior historical statistics.

EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTS
April 1962
THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE; APRIL 1962
Note: Beginning with the figures for April 1962, information
from the I960 Census of Population replaces that from the
1950 Census in the estimation procedures for the labor force
survey. The monthly and annual change s in the labor force
data quoted in this release are based on the old April figures,
which are comparable with previously published data. The
differences between the old and new data are small (see page xiv).
Factory employment and hours of work showed continued strong improvement in April.
With most manufacturing industries reporting better-than-seasonal
developments during the month, jobs in this sector rose by 80, 000 instead of
showing the small decline usual at this time of year. Construction employment
expanded sharply during the month after the usual spring pickup had been delayed
by bad weather in March. Trade employment continued to show better-thanseasonal improvement for the fourth consecutive month. Altogether, nonfarm
payroll employment at 54. 7 million was up 675, 000 from March to April, or a
quarter of a million more than seasonally.
With the gains of the past few months, manufacturing employment has
returned to within 200, 000 of the level in May I960, the prerecession peak in
general business activity, while trade is now significantly above that level.
The factory workweek continued to improve in April, and at 40. 4 hours
was at a level which has not been exceeded for this month since 1953. Overtime
hours in manufacturing edged up to 2. 7 hours, the highest level for April since
data became available in 1956.
As announced on May 9, unemployment declined seasonally by 400, 000 in
April, and at 3. 9 million was 1. 0 million lower than a year earlier. The
seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment of 5. 5 percent was virtually unchanged
from the preceding 2 months but was well below the 6. 9 percent of a year earlier.
State insured unemployment declined by 400, 000 in mid-April to 1. 9 million.
Total employment moved seasonally higher by 700, 000 to 66. 8 million
in April. Nonagricultural employment (including the self-employed, unpaid
family workers, and domestics) rose by 450, 000 to a record for April of 61.9
million, an increase over the year of 1. 2 million.
Agricultural employment increased by 250, 000 from March and was
virtually the same as a year earlier in April at 5. 0 million.
The number of workers on part time for economic reasons declined by
100, 000, somewhat more than seasonal, to 2. 2 million in April, some 800, 000
less than at the same time in 1961.
The total labor force, including the Armed Forces, rose about seasonally
again in April to 73. 7 million, and was 650, 000 higher than a year earlier.

Nonfarm Payroll Employment
Nonfarm payroll employment rose sharply by 675, 000 to an April record
of 54. 7 million. The total was 1. 5 million higher than the depressed level of a
year ago and 530, 000 higher (seasonally adjusted) than before the beginning of the
business downturn in May I960. Better-than.-seasonal gains were widespread in
manufacturing industries, while construction employment regained its previous
month1 s loss. Smaller increases, which were also better than seasonal, occurred
in trade, transportation and public utilities, and State and local government.
Employment in manufacturing rose by 80, 000 to 16. 6 million; it usually
declines in April. The gains were spread among virtually every manufacturing
industry, in both consumer and producer goods. Employment in transportation
equipment, which usually shows a seasonal decline in April, held its employment
level as automobile sales reached their highest point since September 1955. The
fabricated metals, electrical equipment, and machinery industries increased
significantly on a seasonally adjusted basis, as did primary metals and the stone,
clay, and glass industries. In the soft-goods manufacturing industries, the
greatest strength was shown in apparel where jobs in April were cut substantially
less than in the same month in previous years.
The largest part of the April job increase was seasonal and occurred in
other than manufacturing industries. The increase of 240,000 in construction
brought seasonally adjusted employment up to the level of February 1962 and
December 1961 after weather affected declines in January and March 1962. The
job pickup in transportation and public utilities is the third consecutive monthly
increase whereas there had been virtually no improvement during the last half
of 1961 and a decline at the turn of the year. Trade has picked up 100, 000
workers (seasonally adjusted) since January, and has now risen significantly
beyond its May I960 level for the first time.
Half of the 1. 6 million jobs gained during the recovery period from
February 1961 have been in manufacturing, concentrated in the five durable
goods industries which accounted for the major part of the recession loss. These
industries (primary metals, fabricated metals, electrical equipment, transportation
equipment, and machinery) have increased an average of 10 percent over their
recession lows, although machinery has shown much less of a gain than the others.
In nondurable goods employment, the increases averaged only 2-1/2 percent
during the upswing, but these industries suffered far less loss during the
recession. Electrical equipment alone among the major manufacturing industries
has risen substantially beyond prerecession levels after allowance for seasonal
change. (See Table A.)
The other half of the 1. 6 million job increase since February 1961 was
in trade, service, government, and finance. Among these, only trade shows any
decline during the recession, and this decline was small. On the other hand,
employment in service and government continued steadily upward without
interruption during the recession, as it had in these industries throughout the
postwar period.
In other nonmanufacturing industries, mining and construction are the
only ones showing losses (totaling 75,000) since the latest recession low.

Increases in the number of nonproduction workers have contributed to
the gains in manufacturing employment in recent months. The employment of
these workers, who perform the clerical, administrative, sales, and professional
work in manufacturing, tended to remain fairly steady at 4O 2 million during
the period of recession (when hundreds of thousands of production workers were
being laid off) and during the early period of recovery. Since the fall of 1961,
however, there has been a resumption of growth in their employment; since
September nonproduction workers have contributed about one-sixth of the gain
in manufacturing employment on a seasonally adjusted basis.

The factory workweek, at 40. 4 hours,
has not been exceeded in any April since
1953.
Better-than-seasonal workweek
developments were registered by every
major industry except lumber, which
reported no change after reaching a very high
level in March. Notable gains in the durables
sector were registered in fabricated metals,
electrical equipment, transportation equipment, and furniture. In the soft-goods
sector, apparel and textiles shows the most
significant improvement.
Overtime hours averaged 2. 7 in April
compared to 2. 6 in March, and 2. 5 in
February. A year ago, factory employees
worked 2.1 hours overtime.

Total Employment
Total employment continued its regular spring expansion with a seasonal
increase of 700, 000 to an April record of 66. 8 million. Total nonagricultural
employment (including the self-employed, unpaid family workers and domestics)
rose seasonally by 450, 000 between March andApril, and at 61. 9 million, was
also at a record high for April.
Agricultural employment rose by 250, 000 over the month to 5. 0 million.
This increase was less than usual for April. Agricultural employment was at the
same level as a year ago, but the number of farm workers in April 1961 was held
down by adverse weather.

Explanatory notes to charts
Labor force time lost represents the man-hours lost by the unemployed and those on
part time for economic reasons, as a percent of total man-hours potentially available to the
civilian labor force.
Man-hours lost are computed by assuming the unemployed lost 37.5 hours a week, and
that those on part time for economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5 and the time
they actually worked.
Man-hours potentially available (the base for the rate) are obtained by adding:
Man—hours actually worked
Man-hours that could have been worked by employed persons with a
job but not at work, assuming a 37.5 hour workweek

Unemployment rate, a l l civilian workers, i s the standard seasonally adjusted rate

Unemployment rate, married men, represents the number of unemployed married men as a
percent of a i l married men in the civilian labor force (employed plus unemployed). These
figures exclude married men living apart from their wives. The rates for 1995 and 1956
are based on pre-1957 definitions of unemployment and employment.




NOTE* For a more detailed discussion of
the time-lost measure, see Technical Note
on *Some -Alternative Indexes of Unemployment11 in the Monthly Labor Review,
February 1962, pp*-i67 ff«

Full- and Part-time Employment, The number of nonfarm workers on
full-time schedules rose seasonally in April by 550,000 to 50. 8 million, with
virtually all of the increase occurring among men. The 35. 2 million men with
full-time jobs this April also accounted for nearly all the 1. 3 million increase in
full-time work since April a year ago; however, relatively few women had been
cut back from full- to part-time work during the recession.
The number of nonfarm workers on part time for economic reasons
dropped by 100, 000 after increasing in both February and March. At 2. 2 million
in April, the number of such part-time workers was at about its January level
and about 800,000 below its year-ago level. The over-the-year decline was almost
evenly divided between persons who had been cut back from full-time to part-time
work and persons usually working part time because full-time work was not
available.
(See Table B.)
Characteristics of the Unemployed
Age and Sex. Mainly because of the spring pickup in outdoor activities,
the number of unemployed adult men fell seasonally in April by 350, 000, accounting
for four-fifths of the decline in total unemployment. After seasonal adjustment,
however, their unemployment rate remained virtually unchanged over the month
at 4. 6 percent. Following a substantial decline between August 1961 and January
1962, the unemployment rate for adult men has shown no further improvement.
Nevertheless, at 2. 1 million this April, the number of unemployed adult men
was 650, 000 less than in April 1961 and their unemployment rate was well below
the 6. 0 percent of a year ago.
No significant changes have occurred recently in unemployment among
women and teenagers. However, in both number and rate, unemployment among
adult women was considerably below the high levels of a year ago. At 750, 000,
the number of unemployed 14 to 19 year-olds accounted for less than one-fifth of
total unemployment, but their rate of unemployment was two and one-half times
greater than the overall rate. There was no change in the number of unemployed
teenagers over the year.
Duration of Unemployment. Virtually all of the reduction in unemployment
was among persons who had been jobless for less than 15 weeks. Their number
fell seasonally in April by 400, 000 to 2. 5 million with persons out of work for more
than 4 weeks accounting for most of the decline. The number of persons unemployed
for more than 15 weeks was unchanged at 1. 5 million, but no seasonal change was
expected.
Among those looking for work for 15 weeks or longer were 700,000 persons
who had been looking for work for over 26 weeks, about the same number as in
March. The number of very long-term unemployed was 200, 000 below its year-ago
level. While there has been virtually no change in the number of very long-term
unemployed since the beginning of the year, this group was increasing steadily
throughout the first half of 1961, reaching a recession high of about 1 million in
July, several months after the trough in economic activity. After 14 months of
recovery the number of very long-term jobless is 300, 000 higher than its prerecession levels.
Although this pattern of lagging recovery also followed the
1958 trough in business activity, very long-term unemployment is currently
some 450, 000 higher than in the months prior to the 1957-58 recession.




Xi

Industry of Last Job. Unemployment rates in durable and nondurable
goods manufacturing, mining, and construction were below their year-ago level
this April, and in durable goods manufacturing they were also below the level in
April I960 before the recession began. In transportation, trade, and finance and
service, unemployment rates while down over the year, were above those of
April I960. In every major industry group, unemployment rates were still well
above those registered under the high employment conditions of April 19.57.
New Workers. Among the unemployed in April were 450, 000 persons
looking for their first jobs, about the same number as a year ago. Virtually
all of these inexperienced unemployed were under 25 years of age and four-fifths
of them were between 14 and 19 years of age. Over the past 4 years, the total
number of 14-24 year-olds in the population has increased by 17 percent. Partly
because of the tendency for young people to remain in school longer, the number
of 14-24 year-olds in the labor force has increased by only 12 percent. In contrast, the number of unemployed young people seeking their first job has
increased by 30 percent, two and one-half times greater than the rate of their
labor force increase. All of this increase in the inexperienced unemployed has
been among teenagers; there has even been a slight decline in the number of
unemployed new workers 20 years of age and over.
In April 1958, the trough of the 1958 recession, new workers accounted
for 7 percent of the total unemployed. This April, they accounted for 12 percent.
The increase in the number of unemployed new workers has been greatest at the
two extremes in terms of duration of unemployment. Both the very short-term
unemployed (l to 4 weeks) and the very long-term unemployed (27 weeks or more)
have increased by 50 percent over the past 4 years. In April 1962, nearly half of
the inexperienced unemployed had been looking for work for less than a month,
but 1 out of every 6 had been searching for his first job for over half a year.
Insured Unemployment
The number of insured jobless under State programs dropped by nearly
one-fifth (400, 000) to 1. 9 million between March and April. Preliminary data
indicate that the number of persons exhausting their regular State benefits edged
down from 170, 000 in March to an estimated 165, 000 in April.
In addition to the insured unemployed under the regular State programs,
some 234, 000 persons who had exhausted their State benefit rights were insured
under the Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation program (TEC) in
April. In March the total was 310,000. The sharp over-the-mo nth decline was
due to the "phase-out" provision of the TEC Act. Under this provision, eligibility
for TEC benefits after March 31 is limited to qualified claimants who had been in
compensable status under the TEC program on or before that date.
All but three States reported a decline in insured unemployment under
the regular State programs over the month. The reductions amounted to 25, 000
or more in five States--California (51, 000), New York (43, 000), Pennsylvania
(34, 000), Michigan (26, 000), and Illinois (25, 000). A large part of these declines
reflected continuing seasonal expansions in outdoor work, and a pre-Easter pickup
in trade. California also noted recalls in food processing and in fabricated metals
plants, while Michigan reported increased activity in the auto industry.




xii

The national rate of insured unemployment (not seasonally adjusted) was
4. 6 percent in April compared with 5. 6 percent in March and 7. 0 percent a year
ago. Five States--Alaska, Arkansas, Maine, North Dakota, and West Virginia-had rates in excess of 7. 0 percent this April. However, the rates in all of these
States except Maine were below those for March. In Maine, the start of a new
benefit year on April 1 caused the rate to rise. Among the larger industrial
States, the rates were between 5. 0 and 6. 0 percent in California, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, and below 4. 0 percent in Illinois,
Indiana, Texas, and Wisconsin.
Labor Force
The labor
month by 300,000 to
employment. About
April 1961 and over

force (including the Armed Forces) rose seasonally over the
73.7 million, despite the small increase in agricultural
650,000 workers have been added to the labor force since
1. 5 million workers since April I960.

Revision in Estimation Procedure
Beginning with the figures for April 1962, information from the I960
Census of Population replaces that from the 1950 Census in the estimation procedures for the labor force sample survey. The effects of the change are shown in
the tables on the following pages presenting data on population and employment status
on both the old and the new basis for April. Most of the differences between the old
and the new labor force estimates are small and well within the normal range of
sampling error.
Population information from the decennial census is used in two stages
of the estimation procedure for the sample survey in order to improve the
reliability of the results. Since labor force activity is highly correlated with
such characteristics as age, color, urban-rural residence, and sex, the sampling
variability of the estimates can be reduced if the sample population is brought into
line with the known distributions of the total population by these characteristics.
(See U. S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, "Concepts and
Methods Used in the Current Employment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared
by the Bureau of the Census,11 Series P. 23, No. 5^for detailed explanation.)
The first stage in the estimation process takes into account differences
between the color and urban-rural residence distribution of the population in the
sample counties and that of the total population in each of the four major regions
of the country at the time of the census. These adjustment ratios remain constant
until another census is taken or until changes are made in the counties in the
sample.
The second stage adjustment takes account of current differences between
the distribution of the sample population by age, color, and sex and that of the
Nation as a whole. Each month, the Census Bureau prepares current independent
estimates of the noninstitutional population by age, color, and sex by carrying
forward the most recent census data to take account of the subsequent aging of the
population, mortality, and migration between the United States and other countries.
These are used as controls for the sample results for the month. In effect, the
sample returns determine the percentage of the population within each age-colorsex group which is employed, unemployed, etc. The absolute numbers are
derived by applying these percentages to the independent population figures.
The timing of the change-over to the I960 Census material was
determined by the date of completion of the tabulations of the necessary Census
information for all counties. These results became available in time for the
processing of the April 1962 survey. In order to measure the effect of the change
to 1960 Census data, the survey results were also tabulated using 1950 data.
Since the new population figures show a somewhat different age distribution than
the old, the age distribution of the labor force and the employed will differ
slightly. However, there is no effect on percent distributions within age groups,
or on labor force or unemployment rates by age. The effect on comparability
with data prior to April 1962 is so minor that no revisions of earlier statistics
will be made. Users who wish to make allowances can do so on the basis of the
data shown in the following tables.

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

5April 1962 figures are not strictly comparable with those for previous periods 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. For more detailed information see page xiv.

Explanatory Notes
Additional information concerning the preparation of the
labor force,

employment,

hours and earnings, and labor

turnover series—concepts and scope, survey methods, and
limitations—is contained in technical notes for each of
these series, available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics free of charge.

INTRODUCTION

hours during the survey week. In the figures based on establishment records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each time
their names appear on payrolls.

The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
two major sources: (l) household interviews and (2) payroll
reports from employers.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from
a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted
each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor
force, i.e., the total number of persons I** years of age and
over who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data on
their personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex,
color, marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration
of unemployment. The information is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about 35yOOO households in 333 areas
throughout the country and is based on the activity or status
reported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the
month.

Hours of Work
The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers.
In the household survey data, all persons with a job but not at
work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on
paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included
and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid
during the reporting period.

Data based on establishment payroll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The payroll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours,
average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the
Nation, States, and metropolitan areas.

Comparability of the household interview data with other series

The figures are based on payroll reports from a
sample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 million
nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all
workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
Relation between the household and payroll series
The household and payroll data supplement one another,
each providing significant types of information that the other
cannot suitably supply. Ibpulation characteristics, for
example, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences in definition and coverage, sources of
information, methods of collection, and estimating procedures.
Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasons
for discrepancies. The factors which have a differential effect
on levels and trends of the two series are described below:
Employment

•oyment 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 Qnployment 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 TnininpiTn size).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment
used in the household survey. For example, persons with a job
but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the
week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, but
are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under Ik in the Agricultural Marketing
Service (AMS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders who
are counted more than once if they worked on more than one farm
during the reporting period. There are also wide differences in
sampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods, which
cannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences in
level and trend of the two series.

Coverage. The household survey definition
of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and other private household workers), self-employed
persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during
the survey week ;Ln family-operated enterprises. Qnployment in
both farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of
nonfarm establishments.
Multiple
tiple jobholding. The household approach
provides information onL the
the work
'
status of the population without duplication since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding
more than one job are counted only once, and are classified according to the job at which they worked the greatest number of




Unpaid absences from jobs. The household
survey includes among the employed all persons who had jobs but
were not at work during the survey week—that is, were not
working or looking for work but had jobs from which they were
temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation,
labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time off
for various other reasons, whether or not they were paid by
their employers for the time off. In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on paid sick leave, paid vacation, or
paid holiday are included, but not those on leave without pay
for the entire payroll period.

Comparability of the payroll employment data with other series
Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of
the Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ
from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from

1-E

its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The major reason for lack of comparability is different treatment of
business units considered parts of an establishment, such as
'central administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in the
industrial classification of establishments due to different
reporting patterns by multiunit companies. <Ehere are also differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the
Census of Business excludes professional services, transportation companies, and financial establishments, while these are
included in BLS statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Bitterns, published jointly by the U. S. Departments of Commerce
and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BIS establishment statistics in the units considered integral parts of an
establishment and in industrial classification. In addition,
CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, interstate railroads, and government.
Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs.
Wot all nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the Unemployment Insurance programs. All workers in certain activities,
such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, are
excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are
also excluded in 32 States. In general, these are establishments with less than four employees.

LABOR FORCE DATA
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics
of employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force data
are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in its
Current Population Survey (CPS). (A detailed description of
this survey appears in Concepts and Methods Used in the Current
Employment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau of
the Census, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population
Reports, Series P-23, Kb. 5* This report is available from BLS
on request.)
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted
with a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the
civilian noninstitutional population Ik years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household Ik years of age
and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the
calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15th
of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 14 years of
age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are
excluded from the population and labor force statistics shown in
this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
The sample for CPS is spread over 333 areas comprising #+1 counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50
States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed interviews are obtained each month from about 35>OOO households.
There are about 1,500 additional sample households from which
information should be collected but is not because the occupants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporarily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about h percent.
Bart of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan
provides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to be
common from one month to the next, and one-half to be common
with the same month a year ago.

Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not
living on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratory
farm workers).
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of
work around the house (such as own home housework, and painting
or repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.
Unemployed Parsons comprise all persons who did not
work at all during the survey week and were looking for work,
regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did
not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job
from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not
in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed
no work was available in their line of work or in the community.
Persons in this latter category will usually be residents of a
community in which there are only a few dominant industries
which were shut down during the survey week. Not included in
this category are persons who say they were not looking for work
because they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any
way.
The Unemployment Rate represents the number unemployed
as a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of the
employed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed for
groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital
status, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupation
groups, the labor force base for the unemployment rate also represents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latter
classified according to industry and occupation of their latest
full-time civilian job.
Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time
(through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work or
would have been looking for work except for temporary illness,
or belief that no work was available in their line of work or in
the community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment
represents the number of full weeks since the termination of
their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic
mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total of all
civilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordance
with the criteria described above. The "total labor force" also
includes members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the
United States or abroad.
Not in Labor Force includes all civilians ik years and
over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These
persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework, " "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes
for the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to
work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as
unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work
(less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor
force.
Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to the
job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are
classified in the job at which they worked the greatest number
of hours during the survey week. The occupation and industry
groups used in data derived from the CES household interviews
are defined as in the 1950 Census of Population. Information on
the detailed categories included in these groups is available
upon request.

CONCEPTS
Qnployed Parsons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, or
in their own business or profession, or on their own farm, or
who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in a
business operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those
who were not working or looking for work but who had jobs or
businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, or
because they were taking time off for various other reasons,
whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time
off.




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.

The industrial classification system used in the Census
of Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhat
from that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by industry. Employment levels by industry from the household survey,
although useful for many analytical purposes, are not published
in order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ from
the payroll series because of differences in classification,
sampling variability, and other reasons. The industry figures
from the household survey are used as a base for published
distributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other

2-E

characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, and
occupation.

mortality, and migration between the United States and other
countries.

The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and
salary workers," subdivided into private and government workers,
"self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage and
salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or pay
in kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit.
Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in
their own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15
hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a
member of the household to whom they are related by blood or
marriage.

3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure is
used which takes account of net changes from the previous month
for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the
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.

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.

Reliability of the Estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that is, the variations that might occur by chance because
only a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are
about two out of three that an estimate from the sample would
differ from a complete census by less than the standard error.
The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be
less than twice the standard error.

For persons working in more than one job, the figures
relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the
week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job.
Parsons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey
week are designated as working "full time"; persons who worked
between 1 and 3^ hours are designated as working "part time."
Bart-time workers are classified by their usual status at their
present job (either full time or part time) and by their reason
for working part time during the survey week (economic or other
reasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material
shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination
of job during the week, and inability to find full-time work.
"Other reasons" include: labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for
full-time work and full-time worker only during peak season.

Table A shows the average standard error for the major
employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12
recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are
also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of
change for consecutive months is also shown in table A. The
standard errors of level shown in table A are acceptable approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.

ESTIMATING METHODS

Average standard error o f —

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

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

The figures presented in table B are to be used for
other characteristics and are approximations of the standard
errors of all such characteristics. They should be interpreted
as providing an indication of the order of magnitude of the
standard errors rather than as the precise standard error for
any specific item.

a. First-stage, ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the
known 1950 Census data on the color-residence distribution of
the population. This step takes into account the differences
existing at the time of the 1950 Census between the colorresidence distribution for the Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step,
the sample proportions are weighted by independent current estimates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimates
are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data
(1950) to take account of subsequent aging of the population,




Labor force and total employment.
Agriculture

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

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 error of the monthly level in table C,
it may be seen that the standard error of the 500,000 increase
is about 135,000.
Table C. Standard error of estimates of
month-to-month change

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, ensures maximum geographic
comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the information to prepare State and area
series and then send the data to the BLS for use in preparing
the national series. The BLS and the Bureau of Employment
Security jointly finance the current employment statistics program in hh States, the turnover program in k2 States.
Shuttle Schedules
The Form BLS 790 is used to collect employment, payroll, and man-hours data, and Form DL 1219 or BLS 1219 for labor
turnover data. These schedules are of the "shuttle" type, with
space for each month of the calendar year. The schedule is returned to the respondent each month by the collecting agency so
that the next month's data can be entered. This procedure
assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting, since
the respondent can see the figures he has reported for previous
months.

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.

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 manhours of production and related workers or nonsupervisory
workers for the pay period ending nearest the 15th of each
month. The labor turnover schedule provides for the collection
of information on the total number of accessions and separations,
by type, during the calendar month.

INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION
Establishments are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected
each year on an industry class supplement to the monthly 790 or
1219 report. In the case of an establishment making more than
one product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire
employment of the establishment is included under the industry
indicated b y 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 • Since many of the published industry series
represent combinations of SIC industries, the BLS has prepared a
Guide to Employment Statistics of BLS, 1961 which specifies the
SIC code or codes covered by each industry title listed in
Employment and Earnings. In addition, the Guide provides industry definitions and lists the beginning date of each series.
The Guide is available free upon request.

Prior to January 1959, all national, State, and area
series were classified in accordance with the following documents: (l) For manufacturing, Standard Industrial Classification
50
Manual, Volume I, Bureau of the Budget, 19^5, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial Classification Code, Social Security
k.9 Board, I9I+2. State and area series were converted to the 1957
3.9 SIC beginning in January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958) and
2.8 national industry statistics were converted in the latter part of
1.9 1961 (with an overlap from 1958 to the month of conversion).
l.k Consequently, back issues of Employment and Earnings will not
1.1 provide earlier data on a comparable basis. However, for many
industries, both BLS and the cooperating State agencies have con.9
structed series for years prior to 1958 which are comparable with
.6 data starting with 1958 and based on the 1957 SIC. National data

Bnployment, Hours, and Earnings

Benchmark Adjustments

Reports on employment and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours are collected monthly from sample establishments in nonagricultural industries. The table below shows the
approximate proportion of total employment in each industry
division covered by the group of establishments furnishing
monthly employment data. The coverage for individual industries
within the division may vary from the proportions shown.

Employment estimates are periodically compared with
complete counts of employment in the various industries defined
as nonagri cultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indicated by the total counts or- "benchmarks." The industry
employment estimates are currently projected from March 1959
benchmarks. After allowing for the effect of shifts in products or activities resulting from conversion to the 1957
Standard Industrial Classification, and the changes in level
resulting from improved benchmark sources for employment not
covered by the social insurance systems, meaningful quantitative
comparisons can be made between estimates for March 1959 projected from the last previous benchmarks (1957) and the actual
March 1959 benchmark levels. This comparison reveals a difference of 0.6 percent for total nonagricultural employment, practically identical with the extent of the adjustment in March
1957, the last benchmark adjustment prior to the shift in
classification systems. The differences were less than 1.0 percent for four of the eight major industry divisions; under 2
percent for two other divisions; and 3*8 and 4.9 percent for the
remaining two divisions.

One significant cause of differences between benchmark
and estimate is the change in industrial classification of individual establishments, which is usually not reflected in BLS
estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other
causes are sampling and response errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled
by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under
State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are prepared under Bureau of Qnployment Security direction. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the Bureau of Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments
exempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of their
small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded
from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a variety
of other sources. Among improvements introduced in 196l, when
the industry statistics were converted to the 1957 Standard
Industrial Classification Manual, was the development of new and
better sources of benchmark data for employment either outside
the social insurance system or covered by it only on a voluntary
basis.
The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with the new benchmark levels, industry by industry.
Where revisions are necessary, the monthly series of estimates
are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one.
The new benchmark for each industry is then carried forward progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.
Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment while the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level.

CONCEPTS
Industry Employment
Employment data for all except the Federal Government
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for
any part of the pay period endinp nearest the l£th 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 durinp the month.
The data exclude proprietor?, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm worker?, and domestic workers in
households. Salaried officers of corporations are included.
Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal
military personnel are excluded from total nonagri cultural
employment.

Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers or
nonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. When
the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures are
reduced to a weekly basis.
Production and Related Workers include working foremen
and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees)
engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping,
maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services, product
development, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g.,
power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Nbnsupervispry Employees include employees (not above
the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical
workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen,
and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose services are closely associated with those of the employees listed.

Railroad Hours and Earnings

production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received
pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the
month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind,
e.g., for old-age and unemployment insurance, group insurance,
withholding tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for
overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly by
the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay
period), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other
payment in kind are excluded.

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 hours by average hourly earnings.

Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, during
the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for production, construction, and .nonsupervisory workers. The man-hours
include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave
when pay is received directly from the firm.

Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars
are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security and
Income taxes from gross weekly earnings. The amount of income
tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by
the worker, as well as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed for a
worker with no dependents, and a worker with three dependents*
The computations are based on the gross average weekly earnings
for all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industry
division without regard to marital status, family composition,
or total family income.

Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of production and related workers during the pay period ending nearest the
15th of the month. Overtime hours are those for which premiums
were paid because the hours were in excess of the number of hours
of either the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and
holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates were paid.
Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or
other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings

"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the current
month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 1957-59
dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since
the base period.

Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, reflecting not only
changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates, but also such
variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work,
and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive plan.
Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and low-paid work
and changes in workers1 earnings in individual establishments
also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups
and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings
for individual industries.

Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime pay
are computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for
the industry group by the sum of total production-worker manhours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. 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. 537-5^0). Both
methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No adjustment
is made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday
work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and
one-half.

Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period
of time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit
of work or time. The earnings series, however, does not measure
the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer since
the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive
items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid
by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under
the production-worker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.

Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Bayrolls and Man-Hours

Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying
average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore,
weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross average
hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and absenteeism.

The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours
are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1957-59 period. The man-hour aggregates
are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker
employment, and the payroll aggregates are the 'product of gross
average weekly earnings and production-worker employment.

Average Weekly Hours

Labor Turnover

The workweek information relates to the average hours
for which pay was received, and is different from standard or
scheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover,
part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to be
lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component
industries.

labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employment status with respect to
individual establishments. This movement, which relates to a
calendar month, is divided into two broad types: Accessions
(new hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees, whether
full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive,
office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers.
Transfers to another establishment of the company are included,
beginning with January 1959.

Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross
average weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours and for
which premium payments were made. If an employee worked on a paid
, holiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensation his
holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no
overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,
gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in
the same direction, from month-to-raonth; 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.




6-E

Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll, including both new and
rehired employees.
New hires are temporary or permanent additions to the
employment roll of persons who have never before been employed in
the establishment (except employees transferring from another
establishment of the same company) or of former employees not recalled by the employer.
Other accessions, which are not published separately
but are included in total accessions, are all additions to the

employment roll which are not classified as new hires including
transfers from another establishment of the company.

STATISTICS FOR STATES A N D AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor
turnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics relate to metropolitan
areas, as '-defined in the Annual Supplement Issue of Employment
and Earnings. Additional industry detail may be obtained from
the State agencies listed on the inside back cover of each issue.
These statistics are based on the same establishment reports used
by BIS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sum
of the State figures may differ slightly from the equivalent
official U.S. totals on a national basis, because some States
have more recent benchmarks than others and because of the
effects of differing industrial and geographic stratification.

Separations are terminations of employment during the
calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,
layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized
absences, if on the last day of the month the person has been
absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by
the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations of employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and
entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 consecutive calendar days.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employment series
for the, following reasons: (l) Accessions and separations are
computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports
refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month; and
(2)§ employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions although such employees are excluded from the employment estimates
if the work stoppage extends through the report period.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Several major technical improvements were achieved in
1961, when the industry statistics were converted to the 1957
Standard Industrial Classification Manual. The benchmark tabulations obtained from State unemployment insurance agencies (see
section on benchmark adjustments), which formerly gave employment totals by industry, were tabulated to give separate totals
by size of establishment within industries for the first quarter
of each year beginning with 1959. Intensive analysis revealed
that significant improvements could be made for many of the
hours and earnings series if the employment estimates for certain industries were stratified by size of establishment and/or
by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisoryworker data were used in weighting the hours and earnings into
broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating
cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the term
is used in the summary of computational methods on page 8-E, may
be an industry size and/or regional stratum or it may be an
entire industry or combination of industries. Further analysis
will be made, as resources permit, to determine whether stratification will improve the estimates of labor turnover rates.
More advanced automatic electronic data-processing
equipment has also contributed to improving the program. The
advanced equipment, with its greater capacity, has made feasible
the increased number of computations required by the introduction of size cells, and facilitates closer quality control of
data input and output.

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring
seasonal movement which can be measured on the basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change which can be
ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observe
the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor force and establishment
data are published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these series is
a new adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method,
with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to take account
of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description and illustration of the basic method was published in the August i960
Monthly Labor Review.
The seasonally adjusted series on weekly hours and labor
turnover rates for industry groupings are computed by applying
factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, but seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees and production workers by industry divisions are obtained by summing the
seasonally adjusted data which are published for component industries. The factors currently in use are available upon request.
In the case of unemployment, data for four age-sex
groups (male and female unemployed workers under age 20, and age
20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and
are then added to give a seasonally adjusted total unemployment
figure. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived
by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment
(the sum of the four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by
the figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force.
Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of the labor
force to be applied to data for 1961 and later are provided in
the table below, since seasonally adjusted labor force series,
except for the unemployment rates, are not published regularly in
Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data
are based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors
are revised in the light of the pattern•revealed by subsequent
data. Data through December 1961 were used in deriving the current factors applicable to 1961-62. Revisions will be made annually as each additional year's data become available.
Seasonal adjustment factors for the labor force and major
components, to be used for the period 1961-62

The general procedures used for estimating industry
employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics are
described in the table on page 8-E. Details are given in the
technical notes on Measurement of Employment, Hours, and
Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries and Measurement of
Labor Turnover, which are available upon request.
Reliability of Preliminary Estimates
For the most recent months, national estimates of
employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and so footnoted in the tables. These particular figures are based on
less than the full sample and consequently subject to revision
when all of the reports in the sample have been received.
Studies of these revisions in past data indicate that they have
been relatively small for employment and even smaller for hours
and earnings. Because of the change in the industrial classification system and in the estimating methods described above,
it will not be possible to determine the magnitude of the error
in preliminary estimates published for 1961 and subsequent
periods, until sufficient experience has been accumulated.
