Obese adjustments may also affect the hours and earnings series because employment levels are used as weights. All industry statistics after Jferch 1959> the present benchmark date, are therefore subject to revision. Beginning with November 1961 and subsequent issues of Employment and Earnings, data in tables B-l through 1PT, (M. 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 t] .ted States, 19096 0 , w h i c h is temporarily out of print, but available in many public libraries. When industry data are again adjusted to new benchmarks, another edition of Employment and Earnings Statistics for the United States will be issued containing the revised data extending from April 1959 forward to a current date, as well as the prior historical statistics.

Blackwood and John E. Bregger* The durable goods manufacturing industry group, while accounting for less than 15 percent of all persons employed in the United States, generates one-fifth of the Nation1 s gross national product. This industry's employment is not only an important source of income but is also an index of economic well-being insofar as employment reflects the demand for hard goods. This article examines recent trends in durable goods employment and hours, with particular emphasis on developments from early I960 to the present. l The durable goods industries, which make up about 17 percent of total nonfarm payroll employment, can be divided into two main segments--the metals (including the major metal-using industries) and all others. The metals industries--the most volatile and important to the overall economy--include the producers of primary and fabricated metals, machinery, electrical equipment, and transportation equipment. The remaining hard-goods industries include lumber and wood products; furniture; stone, clay,and glass; and three other small industries--ordnance and accessories, instruments and related products, and miscellaneous manufacturing. These six industries, while not as large as the metals group, nonetheless make a significant contribution to the economy in terms of production and employment. Overall Trends Since reaching a peak2 of over 10 million workers in mid-1953, employment in durable goods as a whole has shown a gradual, but irregular, downtrend. Emphasizing1 the secular decline is the fact that the number of employees in durable goods industries as a proportion of the nonfarm payroll total has decreased from 20 to 17 percent since 1953. In each of the two recessions between the July 1953 and May I960 peaks, employment dropped by over 1 million, or over 10 percent, and on both occasions did not fully recover to prerecession levels. Employment in May I960 was nearly 700, 000 less than the postwar high in July 1953. In the most recent recession, employment did not decline as much as in the previous two (about 800, 000). Another difference in the 1961-62 cycle was that the employment recovery was slow and spread over a much longer time period. This circumstance tended to weaken the recovery for the total economy because of the delayed injection of the displaced workers 1 earnings. By April 1963, however, employment in durable goods--9. 6 million--had about returned to the May I960 level but was still 100,000 below its peak in February of that year. *Of the Division of Employment and Labor Force Analysis, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Seasonally adjusted data have been used throughout this article, wherever comparisons between specific months were needed. 2ll Peaks"and "troughsfr!refer to months designated by the National Bureau of Economic-Research (NBER) as turning points of the business cycle. While individual industry peaks and troughs do not necessarily coincide with those of the NBER, on the whole they approximate the peaks and troughs of the general business cycle. in EMPLOYMENT AND HOURS OF PRODUCTION WORKERS IN DURABLE GOODS MANUFACTURING January 1953 to date EMPLOYMENT (In Millions) Seasonally adjusted AVERAGE WEEKLY HOURS 9 Ey^LOYMENT 8 - 7 - ^ 6 - 5 - h- 42 AV ERAGE WEEKLY HO URS V A y\fV J 41 \ / \ V r V - 40 - 39 38 (7 - 1953 1954 1955 1956 1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 Not only was the 1961-62 recovery relatively weak, but despite the powerful stimulus of high output and demand for automobiles during the 1962 and 1963 model years and the increased levels of defense spending by the Federal Government, employment in hard-goods industries hit a peak in mid-1962. It then drifted steadily downward throughout the second half of the year, finally turning up again in the first quarter of 1963. February 1963 represented the first reversal of this contraction, only in part the result of the added boost from increased demand for steel. In March and April, employment picked up substantially in nearly all hard-goods industries, bringing the total above the June 1962 level. The ratio cf production workers to total employment in the durable goods industry group has been declining steadily over the past decade. In 1953, 81 percent of the employees were performing production-related work; the proportion is currently 73 percent. The trend has been apparent in every industry and represents a combination of two factors: (l) gains in productivity resulting in the need for fewer production workers, and (2) the mounting emphasis on research and development in manufacturing with its contingent staffing needs. These trends are not expected to diminish in the next few years. While the average age of the male labor force as a whole has been increasing progressively since 1953, for durable goods the downward employment trend has hastened the process because fewer young persons have entered the industry and layoffs and recalls generally have been based on seniority. Between the first quarters of 1953 and 1963, the median age for all employed males rose by about half a year, while that for males in durable goods increased by almost 2- 1/2 years. Over the past decade, the proportion of all males employed in durable goods industries who were 45 years of age or older has increased by 4-1/2 percentage points while the comparable rise for all employed males was only 1-1/2 percentage points. Since early I960, this aging trend has been slightly reversed in the nonmanufacturing sector with the increasing numbers of young persons entering the labor force, but has accelerated among the durable goods industries. IV The workweek in durable goods has for the most part remained relativelystable over the past 10 years, although varying with the swings of the business cycle. During the Korean War period (1951-53), overall weekly hours averaged more than 41 hours and since then have not consistently maintained these peaks, primarily because there have been three recessions in the intervening years. Following the most recent recession, the workweek increased by 2 hours from the December I960 low and in 1962 remained close to 41 hours. When employment began its slide after mid- 1962, hours continued at the same level and have not moved significantly since. Metals and Metal-Using Industries This somewhat arbitrary grouping of the 11big five" of the durable goods manufacturing industries includes all the metal producers and the major metal-using groups, although almost all of the hard-goods manufacturers use metal to some extent. Together these five industries account for 1 of every18 persons on nonfarm payrolls and for more than 70 percent of all persons employed in the durable goods sector. Since these metals and metal-using industries make up a large proportion of the total, and because they are strongly influenced by business cycle developments, they dominate movements in the overall durable goods totals. Of the 800,000 decline in durable goods employment during the 1960-61 downturn, nearly 80 percent was in the metals sector. Primary Metal Industries. Long-run trends in employment and hours in primary metals industries have been dominated by the volatile steel sector, which accounts for slightly better than half of the industry's worker total. In recent years, the steel industry's movements have been keyed not only to the general business cycle, but also to the periodic union contract negotiations. Table 1.

The major factors which have had a definite effecton man-hours\in the industry iver the longer run have been increased productivity and competition from other materials and from foreign producers. Over the short run, however, employment ind hours in primary metals have mainly reflected general cyclical trends, and to i. lesser extent, inventory fluctuations. From the first quarter of I960, when jmployment was high following the autumn 1959 steel strike and the economy as a whole was close to its prerecession peak, primary metals employment dropped by nearly 250, 000 to less than 1.1 million in February 1961. This represented the lowest smployment level for the industry for the entire postwar period (aside from strike periods). During the business recovery, the pickup was well below its usual pace, ind employment at the postrecession |high--April 1962--was short of the prerecession peak by 50,000 workers. Beginning in May 1962, employment dropped sharply ind continued this decline through November, even after steel production again :urned up. In November, employment almost reached the previous trough level and since then has been moving upward. The primary metals workweek has tended to be more idirectly related to production trends in the industry than has employment. Weekly hours, which were :ut back 4 hours to 37.1 hours by December I960, rose quickly when employment surged upward but then receded sharply again the same month (May) that employment Degan its 1962 slide. Unlike employment, hours of work began to rise in late summer jf 1962. Although both employment and hours have been rising in recent months, iiese gains have not been commensurate with the pickup in production (notably in steel). Fabricated Metal Products. The fabricated metal products group, including the producers of structural metal products, metal stampings, and cutlery and handtools, has made a gradual and nearly complete recovery from the 1960-61 recession with production and employment now only slightly below the levels at the prerecession peak. VI After an abrupt rise from the trough, employment leveled off until the second quarter of 1962 when it again rose to about the prerecession peak. However, after mid-1962^ employment tended to drift downwards (with the workweek stabilizing at a high level) until the first month of 1963. As in other metal-working industries, productionworker employment has been rising in 1963, with the pickup gaining momentum in April. Aside from cyclical movements, employment in fabricated metals has shown only a slight declining trend over the past decade and has averaged about 1. 1 million employees over the entire period. Employment in each of the two most recent recovery periods has failed to return to prerecession peaks despite gains in production, with production workers representing the declining component. Through the recession phase of the most recent cycle--May I960 to February 1961--the number of nonproduction workers remained unchanged while production-worker employment fell by 100,000 and has not yet returned to the May I960 level. Since 1953, production-worker employment has declined by more than 80, 000 while the number of nonproduction workers has risen by half that amount. However, in 1963, production workers still accounted for more than three-fourths of total employment in the industry--a proportion exceeded in the metal-using sector only by the primary metals group. Machinery. The machinery industry is heavily dependent on business investment in capital goods, as the group includes construction, metal-working and special machinery producers, as well as the office computing and accounting machine manufacturers. Employment in this industry has generally followed the overall trend for durable goods manufacturers. After a sharp decline of nearly 100,000 in the I960 recession, employment edged up through the rest of 1961 and t h e n rose abruptly during early 1962 to about the prerecession peak level. However, the situation weakened somewhat during the fourth quarter and employment declined to a slightly lower level. There has been-a pickup in jobs over the last 2 months, particularly in April. The relatively slow expansion in employment after the recession trough was in contrast to the swift increase in the length of the average workweek which pushed up to a postrecession high during the second quarter of 1962. The slow rate of employment growth in the machinery industry during the 1961-62 recovery period was also contrary to the industry's performance during earlier upturns. Between February 1961 and the present, employment increased by only 80, 000, the smallest recovery for the industry for a comparable period in its entire postwar experience. On the other hand, the decline was also smaller and at a slower pace. Recent surveys of domestic and foreign intentions to purchase machinery and other capital goods indicate some future expansion. Electrical Equipment. The electrical equipment industry, comprised of such diverse segments as electrical industrial apparatus, household appliances, radio and television receiving equipment, and communications equipment, accounts for more than one-fifth of metals and metal-using durable goods employment and has been a major "growth*1 sector of the postwar economy. Contrary to trends in other durable goods industries, employment in electrical equipment has risen consistently over the long run and has shown substantial growth over prerecession highs in both of the two recent recoveries. This was due primarily to increased demand in the electronics field. Employment in electrical equipment declined only mildly into the 1960-61 recession and had fully recovered to the May I960 level by the first quarter of 1962. By mid-1962, electrical equipment employment had reached an alltime high, and although it declined to a slightly lower level after midyear, production remained on a very high plane. Jobgrowth has been resumed since February 1963. VII There is a greater proportion of nonproduction workers--approximately a third of the total employed—in the electrical equipment group than in any other metals industry. These workers iplay an important role in reducing loscillations in employment over the cycle because of the their relative immunity to layoffs and the tendency for producers in this industry to continue to hire more such personnel even during a downturn. This pattern arises principally because of the importance of research and development work to the industry as a whole, and especially to the communications equipment sector. Between May I960 and February 1961, while the number of production workers was declining by nearly 70, 000, the number of nonproduction workers increased by nearly 20, 000. Since the trough, total employment in the industry has increased by about 130, 000 with one-fifth of this gain among nonproduction workers. Thus, for the industry as a whole, the number of nonproduction workers gradually increased regardless of the cycle while production-worker employment and hours have varied according to the demand situation. Transportation Equipment. The transportation equipment industry, consisting of producers of motor vehicles, aircraft, watercraft^and railroad equipment, has made a very strong recovery in both employment and hours worked since the 1960-61 recession. Primarily responsible for the rise have been the motor vehicle and aircraft industries which together account for almost 90 percent of the industry1 s total employment. The Department of Commerce has estimated that the automotive industry alone has accounted for 15 percent of the rise in real GNP since the first quarter of 1961, as the industry is apparently experiencing two good model years (1962 and 1963) "back-to-back11 and is enjoying the highest sales since 1955. For the transportation equipment industry as a whole, employment has increased by 18 percent since February 1961 to a level 80,000 above the prerecession peak in May I960. The length of the workweek, while subject to short-run fluctuations, has remained above 40 hours in every month since September 1961 with overtime during this period consistently averaging over 3 hours per week. Despite this generally favorable picture since the recession, the long-term trend over the past decade has been downward, as employment in the first two cycles since 1953 failed to surpass the prerecession high in each recovery period. During the 1961-62 recovery phase, however, total employment did rise (somewhat haltingly) to levels above the prerecession peak, although it was still slightly below highs recorded in mid- 1959. However, all of the increase since May I960, and more than one-fifth of the gain since the recession trough, has been in the nonproduction work force so that productionjjworker employment has not exceeded the prerecession peak despite very high levels of output. That this situation resulted from increased productivity is clear. Comparing the first quarters of I960 and 1963,man-hours actually declined despite a substantial gain in the industry's index of production. This ^picture is generally true for all of the metals sector of which transportation equipment accounts for almost 25 percent of the number employed. Other Durable Goods Industries Ordnance and Accessories. Ordnance is the smallest of all the durable goods industries. In 1962, employment averaged only a little over 200, 000 , which was the industry's highest level since the peak of the Korean War Period (1953) and before that, since World War II. Unlike other manufacturing industries, employment in ordnance and accessories over the years has not been responsive to movements in the business cycle. In the postwar period, ordnance rose from a very low level (30, 000 employees or below) in the late 1940!s to a high of 235, 000 in 1953. Following cessation of the Korean conflict, employment in the industry declined somewhat but did remain at comparatively high levels. Since May I960, employment has increased very gradually but continuously and at present is around 220, 000. viii Another unusual aspect of employment in ordnance is the low production worker ratio prevailing in the industry. Whereas a relatively high proportion is normal in other hard-goods industries--ranging between 60 and 85 percent--the ratio in ordnance is presently around 45 percent. In the early 1950!s, the proportion of production workers was about 75 percent; it has declined steadily since that time. Since 1956 , practically the entire employment growth in the industry has been among nonproduction workers. Lumber and Wood Products. Employment in the lumber industry has edged steadily downward since its postwar peak of close to 850,000 in the early 1950fs. To a certain extent, movements in the industry have followed a cyclical pattern; however, employment during the recovery phases has not completely returned to prerecession levels. In the most recent business cycle, employment attained a peak late in 1959, at 660, 000, and then fell to 600,000 at the 1961 trough. However, employment has not shown much subsequent growth and has steadied slightly above the trough level during the past 15 months. Although weekly hours in the lumber and wood products industry have varied widely from month to month, the overall level has fluctuated since the fourth quarter of 1958 between 39. 5 and 40. 0 hours, the highest consistent level in the industry since the early postwar period. Furniture and Fixtures. Perhaps a classic example of cyclical movement is exemplified by the employment trend of the furniture and fixtures industry over the last 16 years. After World War II, employment in the industry has moved very evenly with the ups and downs of the cycle. The overall trend has been in a slightly upward direction, and employment in each trough has exceeded the previous low by a small margin. The series reached an alltime high (nearly 400, 000) in May I960 and following the February 1961 recession dip returned to approximate this high level. From September 1962 to the present time, employment has been on a plateau at 380, 000. In the months following the 1961 trough, hours rose steadily along with the large 1961-62 furniture production gains and then leveled off in 1962 as production also became stabilized. Because employment remained virtually unchanged over this span, it is evident that the production pickup was made possible to a certain extent through an expanded workweek. Stone, Clay, and Glass. Stone, clay, and glass production is a durable goods industry which has shown little employment variation over the last 7 years. Between 1956 and the second quarter of I960, employment remained nearly constant at about 600, 000 workers, aside from a dip during the 1958 recession. However, employment dropped by almost 60, 000 in the first quarter of 1961 and has failed to advance extensively since then. Stone-clay-glass employment, production, and weekly hours figures have all followed an identical pattern from 1961 to date. Instruments and Related Products. Instruments and related products is the designation of a small industry group which manufactures scientific and technical instruments and similar equipment. Employment in the industry has increased considerably since the early postwar period and is one of the few durable goods industries to show strength over the past decade. From the prerecession peak of 360, 000 workers, employment fell only 20, 000 by February 1961 and had fully recovered by mid-1962. Since then, the employment level has shown little change. The workweek in the instruments field has exhibited a distinctly similar trend except that the recovery from the trough was much swifter. 687091 O—63 2 IX Miscellaneous Manufacturing. Miscellaneous durable goods manufacturing industries have sometimes been referred to as "luxury manufacturing11 because the industry group is a catchall, including many of the luxury-type items such as jewelry, toys, sporting goods, notions, etc. For this reason, its employment range may be expected to approximate very closely the swings of the business cycle. Such a pattern has been observed in the postwar period. In the most recent recession, employment, which has been on a long-term slow decline since 1953 , mirrored the overall durable goods movement, both in the downward and recovery phases of the cycle. The workweek in miscellaneous manufacturing has not moved in as wide a path as in the other 10 industries of the hard-goods sector, but a cyclical trend is nonetheless apparent. Moreover, weekly hours in this industry group have consistently moved in the direction of the cyclical trend from 2 to 4 months in advance of the employment change. x HOUSEHOLD DATA Table A-1: Employment status of the noninstitutional population,1929 to date (In thousands) Civilian labor force Employed * Total labor force Total noninstitutional popula- Year and month 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 1934 1935.... 1936 1937 1938 1939 19»»0 19^1 I9lt2 19^3.. , , • , , , , , 1944 • 1945 1946 1947 ...... 1948 , 1949 1950 , 1951 1952 , 1953 3 1954 . 1955 1956 , 1957 1958 , 1959 I960* , 1961 5 1962 1962: April....

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 d a y s were assigned to different classifications, mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56. ^Not 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. TData include Alaska and Hawaii beginning i960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has resulted in an increase of about half a million in the noninstitutional pupulation 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciably changed. ^Figures for periods prior to April 1962 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of I960 Census data into the estimation procedure. The change primarily affected the labor force and employment totals, which were reduced by about 200,000. The unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.

Use order blank on page 13-E. INTRODUCTION The statistics in this periodical are compiled from two major sources: (1) household interviews and (2) payroll reports from employers. Data based on household interviews are obtained from a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor force, i.e., the total number of persons 14 years of age and over who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data on their personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex, color, marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration of unemployment. The information is collected by trained inter* viewers from a sample of about 35,000 households throughout the country and is based on the activity or status reported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the month* 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 employ* ment, average weekly hours, average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The figures are based on payroll reports from a sample of establishments employing about 25 million nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Employment Coverage, The household survey definition of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and other private household workers), selfemployed persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during the survey week in family-operated enterprises. Employment in both farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of nonfarm establishments. Multiple jobholding. The household approach pro* vides information on the work status of the population without duplication since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job are counted only once, and are classified according to the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during 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. 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. Relation between the household and payroll series The household and payroll data supplement one another, each providing significant types of information that the other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for example, are readily obtained only from the household survey whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived only from establishment reports. Data from these two sources differ from each other because of differences in definition and coverage, sources of information, methods of collection, and estimating procedures. Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasons for discrepancies. The factors which have a differential effect on levels and trends of the two series are described as follows: Hours of Work The household s u r v e y measures hours actually worked whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers. In the household survey data, all persons with a job but not at work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid during the reporting period. Comparability of the household interview data with other series Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from the household survey includes all persons who did 1-E not work at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by the Bureau of Employment Security of the Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size). In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment used in the household survey. For example, persons with a job but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, but are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey. Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under 14 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 differenc es 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. 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 its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The major reason for lack of comparability is different treatment of business units considered parts of an establishment, such as central administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in the industrial classification of establishments due to different reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are also differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Business excludes professional services, transportation companies, and financial establishments, while these are included in BLS statistics. County Business Patterns. Data in County Business Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establishment statistics in the units considered integral parts of an establishment and in industrial classification. In addition, CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, interstate railroads, and government. Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the Unemployment Insurance programs. All workers in certain activities, such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are also excluded in 32 States. In general, these are establishments with less than four employees. Labor Force Data COLLECTION AND COVERAGE Statistics on the employment status of the population, the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics of employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force data are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in its Current Population Survey (CPS). (A detailed description of this survey appears in Concepts and Methods Used in the Current Employment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau oi the Census, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-23, No. 5. This report is available from BLS on request.) These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the civilian noninstitutional population 14 years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household 14 years of age and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15th of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field interviewing is conducted in the following week. tions 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. Until August 1962, the sample for CPS was spread over 333 areas. Between August 1962 and March 1963, the number of sample areas has been increased to 357, comprising 701 counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District of Columbia. This revision takes account of the changes in population distribution and characteristics shown by the I960 Census, The number of households remains unchanged at 35,000. Completed interviews are obtained each month from about 35,000 households. There are about 1,500 additional sample households from which information should be collected but is not because the occupants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporarily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 4 percent. Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to be common from one month .to the next, and one-half to be common with the same month a year ago. Inmates of institutions and persons under 14 years of age are not covered in the regular monthly enumera- 2-E CONCEPTS their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment. Employed Persons comprise (a) all those who during the survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, or in their .own business or profession, or on their own farm, or who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in a business operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those who were not working or looking for work but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time off for various other reasons, whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off. 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 14 years and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are further classified as "engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes for the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force. Each employed person is counted only once. Those who held more than one job are counted in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week. Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not living on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratory farm workers). Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work around the house (such as own home housework, and painting or repairing own home) or volunteer wprk for religious , charitable, and similar organizations* Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did not work at all during the survey week and were looking for work, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed no work was available in their line of work or in the community. 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. Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week. The occupation and industry groups used in data derived from the CPS household interviews are defined as in the I960 Census of Population. Information on the detailed categories included in these groups is available upon request. 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, v unemployment rates, and other characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, and occupation. 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. 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 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 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. 3-E For persons working in more than one job, the figures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job. Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey week are designated as working "full time"; persons who worked between 1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part time." Part-time workers are classified by their usual status at their present job (either full time or part time) and by their reason for working part time during the survey week (economic or other reasons). "Economic reasons'* include: Slack work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job during the week, and inability to find fulltime work. "Other reasons" include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for full-time work and fulltime worker only during peak season. ESTIMATING METHODS 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. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for occupied sample households for which no information was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or unavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six groups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence categories (urban, rural n on farm, and rural farm). The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5 percent depending on weather, vacations, etc. current estimates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimates are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data (I960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality, and migration between the United States and other countries. 3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure is used which takes account of net changes from the previous month for continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the sample results for the current month. This procedure reduces the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes but also of the levels for most items. Reliability of the Estimates Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures. The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, that i s , the variations that might occur by chance because only a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from a complete census by less than the standard error. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the standard error. Table A shows the average standard error for the major employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for past months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of change for consecutive months is also shown in table A. The standard errors of level shown in table A are acceptable approximations of the standard errors of year-to-year change. Table A. Average standard error of major employment status categories (In thousands) Average standard error of— Employment status and sex 2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, from that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics as age, color, sex, and residence. Since these population characteristics are closely correlated with labor force participation and other principal measurements made from the sample, the latter estimates can be substantially improved when weighted appropriately by the known distribution of these population characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of ratio estimates as follows: 250 200 300 100 180 120 180 100 126 180 200 75 90 90 120 90 180 75 180 65 150 55 120 65 BOTH SEXES Labor force and total employment Nonagricultural employment. . . . MALE Labor force and total employment a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the known I960 Census data on the color-residence distribution of the population. This step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the I960 Census between the color-residence distribution for the Nation and for the sample areas. Nonagricultural employment. .

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

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. 10,000 140 140 130 Table D.

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 tabfe 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.

Federal-State Cooperation Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, the respondent fills out only one employment or labor turnover schedule, which is then used for national, State, and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques at the national and State levels, insures maximum 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 44 States; the costs in the remaining States are jointly shared by the State Departments of Labor and the BLS. The turnover program is financed jointly by the BLS and the Bureau of Employment Security in 49 States. All national, State, arfd 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 Employ' ment and Earnings, In addition, the Guide provides industry definitions and lists the beginning date of each series. The Guide is available free upon request. Industry Employment Employment data for all except the Federal Government refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, employment figures represent the number of persons who occupied positions on the last day of the calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if they performed any service during the month. The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal military personnel are excluded from total nonagricultural employment. 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 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. CONCEPTS Industrial Classification Establishments are classified into industries on the basis of their principal product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected each year on an industry class supplement to the monthly 790 or 1219 report. In the case of an establishment making more than one product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire employment of the establishment is included under the industry indicated by the most important product or activity. Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), on paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the rest of the period, are counted as employed. Not counted as employed are persons who are laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during the period. Industry Hours and Earnings Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers, construction 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. Construction workers relate to the following employees in the contract construction division: Working foremen, journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, laborers, etc., whether working at the site of construction or in shops or yards, at jobs (such as precutting and preassenabling) ordinarily performed by members of the construction trades. 6-E Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not, above the working supervisory level) such as office and Clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose services are closely associated with those of the employees listed. 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 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. Payroll covers the payroll for full* and part-time production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind, e.g., for old-age and unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay period), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded. 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. 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. Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the same direction, from month-to-month; for example, premiums may be paid for hours in excess of the straight-time workday although less than a full week is worked. Diverse trends at uhe industry-group 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. 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. Railroad Hours and Earnings Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a " g r o s s " 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 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 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. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by 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. 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. 7-E VReal" 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 Excluding Overtime Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime pay are computed by dividing the total productionworker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total production-worker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January 1956, these data were based on the application of adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at 1% times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and one-half. Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and manhours are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the monthly average for the 1957-59 period. The man-hour aggregates are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of gross average weekly earnings and production-worker employment. 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: (1) 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. Labor Turnover ESTIMATING METHODS 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. Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll, including both new and rehired employees. The principal features of the estimating procedure used to prepare estimates of employment for the industry statistics are (1) the use of the "link relative" technique, which is a form of ratio estimation, (2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and (3) the use of a modified cutoff type of sample. The "Link Relative" Technique From a sample of establishments, which report for both the previous and current months, the ratio of current month employment to that of the previous month is computed. The estimates of employment (all employees, including production and nonproduction workers together) for the current month are obtained by multiplying the estimates, for the previous month by these "link relatives." Other features of the general procedures used for estimating industry employment, hours, earnings, and laborturnover statistics are described in the table on page 12-E> Further details are given in the technical notes on Measurement of Employment, Hours, and Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries and on Measurement of Labor Turnover, which are available upon request. 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. A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or jnonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight the hours and earnings into broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the term is used in the summary of computational methods on page 12-E^ may be an industry, a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size stratum of a region. Other accessions, which are not published separately but are included in total accessions, are all additions to the employment roll which are not classified as new hires, including transfers from another establishment of the company. Separations ate terminations of employment during the calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits, layoffs, and other separations, as defined above. 8-E Benchmark Adjustments of universe employment so that satisfactory estimates can be prepared. Since employer participation in the BLS program is voluntary, some establishments above the cutoff may decline to report. To replace these in the design, reports are solicited from the next largest establishments below the cutoff until the desired employment coverage is attained. Employment estimates are periodically compared with complete counts of employment in the various industries defined as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated by the total counts* or 1 'benchmarks," The industry estimates are currently projected from March 1959 levels; normally, benchmark adjustments are made annually. As a result of these procedures, the sample consists of heavy representations of the largest establishments in each industry with a considerable representation of smaller establishments as well. In the context of the BLS establishment and payroll statistics program, with its emphasis on producing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be obtained which will provide coverage of a sufficiently large segment of the universe to provide reasonably reliable estimates that can be published promptly and regularly. The present sample meets these specifications for most industries. With its use, the BLS is able to produce preliminary estimates each month for many industries and for many geographic levels within a few weeks after reports are mailed by respondents, and at a somewhat later date, statistics in considerably greater industrial detail. The primary source of benchmark information is the employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, prepared under the direction of the Bureau of Employment Security, are supplemented by data collected by, the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance covering establishments exempt from some State unemployment insurance laws because of their small size. Benchmarks for activities wholly or partly excluded from coverage under the unemployment insurance laws or the old-age and survivors insurance provisions of the Social Security Act are derived from a variety of other sources. The BLS estimates related to the benchmark month are compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one. 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. Data for all months between the previous benchmark and the month in which the adjusted series is published are therefore subject to revision. To provide users of the data with a convenient reference source for the revised data, the BLS publishes as soon as possible after each benchmark revision a summary volume of employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics. The current volume in this series is Employment and Earnings Statistics for the United States, 1909-60, Bulletin 1312 (1961). THE SAMPLE Design The sample design used in the BLS establishment employment and labor turnover statistics programs is that of a modified cutoff sample. In a cutoff design, all establishments in a category are listed in sequence by number of employees. A cutoff point is selected in terms of the number of employees in an establishment, and only establishments above the cutoff point are included in the design. At present, sample selection is made by the cooperating State agencies at the metropolitan area level with supplementation for establishments in sections of the State lying outside of such areas. The national sample therefore is the sum of all the State samples. In cutoff sampling, the general objective is to obtain a sample comprising a large enough proportion of Coverage The BLS sample of establishment employment and payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the field of social statistics. 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.

The high degree of reliability of BLS estimates is due to the relatively large percentage of the employment universe covered by the sample, the frequent adjustments of employment estimates to benchmark levels, and the use of special techniques, such as stratification by size and/or region. Approximate size and coverage of BLS labor turnover sample, March 1959 Employees Industry Number reported Differences between the benchmarks and the estimates, as well as the sampling and response errors, result from changes in the industrial classification of individual establishments (resulting from changes in their product), which are not reflected in the levels of estimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks. At more detailed industry levels, particularly within manufacturing, this is the major cause of benchmark adjustments; however, it becomes of less importance at broader aggregations of industries. Another cause of differences, generally minor, between the estimates and the benchmark arises from improvements in the quality of benchmark data.

The BLS uses this criterion instead of the standard error of the estimates, since it is not possible to compute a mathematically precise statement of error unless the estimates are based on a probability sample. An approximation of the accuracy of the BLS employment estimates is shown by the following table: For the most recent months, national estimates of employment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and are so footnoted in the tables. These particular figures are based on less than the full sample and consequently are subject to revisions when all of the reports in the sample have been received. Studies of these revisions of preliminary estimates in the past indicate that they have been relatively small (and most frequently upward) for employment, and even smaller for hours and earnings.

The area statistics relate to metropolitan areas, as defined in the Annual Supplement Issue of Employment and Earnings. Additional industry detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed on the inside back cover of each issue. These statistics are based on the same establishment reports used by BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from the equivalent official U.S. totals on a national basis, because some States have more recent benchmarks than others and because of the effects of differing industrial and geographic stratification. Seasonal Adjustment Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be estimated on the basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change which can be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observe the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern—that is, changes in a. seasonally adjusted series—it is important to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted es- timates have a broader margin of possible error than the original data on which they are based, since they are subject not only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor force and establishment data are published regularly in Employment and Earnings. 10-E The seasonal adjustment method used for these series is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method, with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to take account of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description and illustration of the basic method was published in the August I960 Monthly Labor Review, and a revised version is described in the 1962 Report of the President's Committee to Appraise Employment and Unemployment Statistics, Measuring Employment and Unemployment, Appendix G, "The BLS Seasonal Factor Method." For establishment data, the seasonally adjusted series on weekly hours and labor turnover rates for industry groupings are computed by applying factors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, but seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees and production workers by industry divisions are obtained by summing the seasonally adjusted data which are published for component industries. The factors currently in use are available upon request. For each of the three major labor force componentsagricultural and nonagricultural employment, and unem- 11-E ployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and female workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In order to produce seasonally adjusted total employment and civilian labor force data, the appropriate series are aggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force" (the sum of twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components). The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data are based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors are revised in the light of the pattern revealed by subsequent data. Revised seasonally adjusted series for major components of the labor force based on data through December 1962 are published in the March 1963 Employment and Earnings. Revisions will be made annually as each additional year's data become available.
