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 1963, the present benchmark date, are therefore subject to revision.
Beginning with December 1964 and subsequent issues of Employment and Earnings, data
in tables B-l through B-6, C-l through C-7, and
D-l through D-4 are based on March 1963 benchmarks. Therefore, issues of Employment and
Earnings prior to December 1964 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 the United States. 190964. BLS Bulletin 1312-2, which may be purchased
from the Superintendent of Documents for $3.50.
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 will
be issued containing the revised data extending
from April 1963 forward to a current date, as well
as the prior historical statistics.

CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS IN FACTORY OVERTIME
By J. Ross Wetzel*
In March 1965, as the U. S. economy recorded its 49th consecutive month of
expansion, the average overtime of factory production workers hit a new high of
3. 8 hours on a seasonally adjusted basis. * Until late summer of 1964, this indicator
had never before exceeded a seasonally adjusted level of 3.1 hours and over the entire
period from 1956-63 had only averaged about 2-1/2 hours. The following analysis was
undertaken to provide some perspective on the recent advance in factory overtime--its
extent, its incidence among industries, and some of the reasons for it.
The article shows that the majority of the Nation1 s manufacturing industries
are operating at very high average overtime levels; however, the largest portion of
the recent overtime expansion can be traced to 5 hard goods industries — primary
metals, fabricated metals, machinery, electrical equipment, and transportation
equipment. In large part, record overtime levels in these industries reflect the sharp
and sustained advance in economic activity. At the same time, pressures due to
persistently high levels of demand for autos, other consumer durables, and manufacturers 1 capital equipment have been magnified by special circumstances in several
industries. Although their precise influence cannot be quantified, the recent automobile
strikes and the contract negotiations in the steel industry clearly influenced overtime
levels in the first 3 months of 1965.
In addition to analyzing the foregoing points, the article covers overtime
differences by industry; seasonal patterns of overtime; the relationship of overtime to
the workweek, to production worker employment, to factory unemployment, and to
turning points in the business cycle; and the role of overtime in factory production
workers 1 earnings.
Recent Overtime Developments
The effect of the 1960-61 recession on factory overtime had almost disappeared
by November 1961 (chart 1). From a high of 3.1 hours (seasonally adjusted) in January
I960, overtime plummeted to 2.0 hours in December and then rose steadily to a level
of 2. 8 hours in November 1961. Although the following 2-1/2 years brought some
divergent movements among the individual manufacturing industries, the average
overtime figure showed remarkable stability. In the first half of 1964, it remained at
a comparatively high and stable level, averaging 3.0 hours. In August 1964, however,
overtime began the unprecedented advance which carried it to a peak of 3. 8 hours
(seasonally adjusted) in March 1,965. At that time, average overtime was up nearly
1 full hour from a year ago and at the highest March level ever recorded.

Data for March 1965 are preliminary.
•Designated by the National Bureau of Economic Researc h.
As table 1 indicates, this uptrend brought manufacturing overtime to an average
level of 3. 4 hours in the first quarter of 1965, an increase of 0. 7 hour from the
comparable period in 1964. 2 In the durable goods industries, the level was 3. 7 hours,
a rise of 0. 8 hour, while in the soft goods industries, overtime was up 0. 3 hour to
2. 9 hours. The overall manufacturing increase was unequally divided, with the durable
goods industries accounting for nearly 80 percent of the increase in overtime. 3 Most
of the durable goods increase was concentrated in the 5 major metal and metal-using
industries, where the sharpest rise was in transportation equipment (1-1/2 hours).
There were gains of 1 hour each in primary metals and in fabricated metals and
nearly three-fourths hour each in machinery and electrical equipment. In each of these
instances, the overtime gain between 1964 and 1965 was accompanied by a significant
increase in production worker employment.
In transportation equipment and primary metals, the current high overtime
levels do not solely represent responses to the high level of economic activity but are
partially the result of special circumstances. In transportation equipment, the automobile strike in October and November left inventories depleted in a year of

Actual data were used here because seasonally adjusted data are not yet
available by 2-digit industry group. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the 1965 level
was 3. 7 hours and the 1964 level was 3. 0 hours.

Two forces are at work here: (1) the increase in the nondurable average was
fairly small and (2) the nondurables account for somewhat less than half of all
production workers; therefore, it takes a larger absolute overtime change to affect
the overall manufacturing average.

exceptionally high sales. In primary metals, a sustained high level of demand has
been supplemented to some extent by attempts to build up inventories. When these
influences have worked themselves out, the level of overtime may drop back to a
lower plane. 4

Obviously the high overtime levels in these 2 industries are attributable to
the improved .economic situation as well as to the special circumstances mentioned.
The total effect of increased overtime in these two industries accounted for 0. 2 hour
of the 0. 7 hour increase between the first quarter of-1964 and the first quarter of 1965.
The overtime expansion in the nondurable sector was the result of widespread
gains rather than sharp advances in any one large industry or group of industries.
Rubber, the soft goods industry which showed the largest 1964-65 increase, was
responding to the record demand for automobile tires. In this industry, as in the
durable goods industries discussed above, the sharp advance in overtime was
accompanied by significant production worker employment gains.
The recent upturn in overtime can be explained in terms of four major
hypotheses. First, it could represent a normal adjustment to the Nation1 s vigorous
economic expansion. If this were the case, the overtime (and weekly hours) rise
would be accompanied by a sharp employment increase. Second, if employment bottlenecks were developing, overtime (and weekly hours) would increase at a rapid pace
while the employment expansion would tend to slow down or come to a halt. Third,
overtime could change sharply as a result of special circumstances in particular
industries which are neither cyclical nor secular, such as a major strike. Finally,
the expansion might reflect a secular change in the importance of overtime in the
Nation1 s overall productive effort.
The third possibility--of unusual developments in a few industries affecting
the overall average--was noted in the introductory comments in this section. While
special circumstances in steel and autos probably accounted for part of the high first
quarter average, increases in the remaining industries suggest that other forces
moved the overtime figure up. Since the first two possibilities call for an examination
of employment as well as hours, seasonally adjusted indexes (1962=100) of average
weekly hours and production worker employment in durable goods and nondurable
goods manufacturing industries are plotted on chart 2. The chart reveals several
interesting aspects of the current economic expansion. First, the indexes of weekly
hours and production worker employment reflect a dramatic increase in weekly manhour inputs since 1962 (table 2). The rate of increase in man-hour inputs apparently

speeded up in August 1964 and, thus far, has shown no tendency to slow down. Second,
most of the man-hour increase was concentrated in the durable goods sector. Third,
the man-hour increase was realized in a somewhat different form in durables than in
nondurables. In the hard goods industries, increasing employment clearly played a
more significant role than it did in the soft goods industries. Finally, hours of work
played a much smaller role in "the current expansion than employment did.
In terms of index numbers, a 1-point change in either employment or weekly
hours provides exactly the same number of additional man-hours. In the durable
goods sector, where most of the recent upsurge in man-hours occurred, the 1962-toMarch 1965 aggregate weekly man-hour increase amounted to 38. 5 million hours.
About 73 percent of this increase was due to the employment advance and 25 percent to a
lengthened workweek (see table 2). Over one-half of the 1962 to March 1965 man-hour

increase took place between August 1964 and March 1965. There was no significant
change in the relative contribution of hours and employment during the latest phase
of the pickup. The accelerated increases in both employment and hours appear to
indicate the absence of an overall shortage of factory labor.
Since the basic concern of this article is overtime hours, an index of average
overtime was prepared and is shown in chart 2. Its base is relatively small*,
consequently, any change in overtime is magnified when compared to the indexes of
weekly hours or production worker employment. In effect, overtime is that portion
of the workweek which is most sensitive to immediate changes in the demand for
factory labor. This characteristic provides the overtime hours figure with special
significance for economic analysis. This significance is enhanced by the fact that
overtime hours represent "realized11 demand for factory labor at higher than average
wage rates. As chart 2 indicates, the overtime figure clearly moves average weekly
hours, as the demand for factory labor changes.
It has been shown that average factory overtime moved up sharply between
the first quarter of 1964 and the first quarter of 1965. This overall advance was
attributable to increases in practically all of the manufacturing industries. In
industries where there were particularly sharp increases in overtime, there were
also pronounced gains in production worker employment. The sharper increase
in the demand for factory labor first became evident in August of 1964 and had
not abated by March 1965. During that period, increasing demand was met by
steady increases in both employment and hours. Moreover, the relative contribution
of hours and employment to the change in gross man-hours were not significantly
different in the August-to-March surge than in the earlier period of economic
expansion. On the basis of these developments it may be concluded that the
August-to-March overtime increase was primarily the results of a normal adjustment to the improvement in economic activity.
Overtime and Employment Levels, 1956 to 1964
The foregoing examination suggests that the recent increase in factory overtime is basically the result of a general improvement in economic activity. It
should be noted, however, that prior to the recent upsurge most of the manufacturing
industries were operating at relatively high overtime levels. This is best illustrated
by comparing the 1964 overtime and employment figures to other periods of economic
expansion.
Although the overall economic situation in 1956 was somewhat similar to
the experience in 1964, average overtime in the latter year was significantly
higher. As table 3 shows, the overtime difference was greater for the soft goods
industries and had evolved in somewhat smoother annual steps. Since this development
could have resulted from a shift in the industrial composition of employment, hypothetical 1964 average overtime figures were computed utilizing 1964 overtime levels
and 1956, 1959, and 1962 distributions of production worker employment by industry.
The resulting averages were roughly equal to the actual 1964 overtime level. Although
this test eliminates the possibility that 19641 s high overtime level is directly attributable to compositional changes, it does not by itself demonstrate that overtime is on
a secular uptrend relative to the average workweek. Moreover, the test does not
show whether there have been changes in the relationship of hours and employment
within the major industries. To evaluate this possibility, the individual industry
data were examined, and the general findings are outlined below.

The changed relationship of overtime and employment is most evident in the
nondurable goods sector. In 1964, its overtime level rose to a record 2. 9 hours, up
0. 2 hour from the previous high (recorded in 1959, 1962 and 1963). In contrast,
soft goods production worker employment, at 5.6 million in 1964, was significantly
below 1956-57 levels, just equal to the 1959 level and slightly higher than the 1960-63
levels. Seven of the ten soft goods industries recorded new alltime highs in 1964,
one equaled an earlier peak, and two were slightly below previous records. Despite
record levels of overtime, half of the ten soft goods industries were at relatively
low employment levels in 1964 and had not even registered significant cyclical gains
over the last four years (these were food, textiles, petroleum, leather, and tobacco).
Employment in two of the largest industry groups--foods and textiles--was well below
earlier highs; nevertheless, these two industries showed record overtime levels of
3. 6 hours in 1964. On the other hand, the three industries which did not establish
new overtime records in 1964--apparel, printing, and rubber--are all in the group
of industries where production worker employment has shown some tendency to
expand during the 1956-64 period.
At the aggregate level, the picture in the durable goods sector was fairly
similar. At 7. 2 million in 1964, production worker employment was down roughly
400, 000 from the 1956-57 level but higher than in any of the intervening years. At
the same time, average overtime, at 3. 3 hours, was up significantly from all
previous highs. As table 4 illustrates, the 1963-64 rise was mainly the result of
gains in the 5 major metals and metal-using industries. Exceptionally large increases
were shown between 1963 and 1964 by primary metals, fabricated metals, and
transportation equipment. In each of these instances, the rise in overtime was
accompanied by an advance in production worker employment. Nevertheless,
employment in two of these groups--primary metals and transportation equipment-remained substantially below 1956 levels.
At the overall level, average overtime has risen relative to production worker
employment. This overall change was most pronounced in 4 of the major industries.
In transportation equipment, overtime, at 3. 9 hours in 1964, was up 0. 8 hour
(25 percent) from its 1956 level, while production worker employment was down by
230, 000. 6 In textile mill products, employment was down 140, 000, and overtime was

Major factors affecting these levels include a long-term employment decline
in the aircraft industry, which is a low overtime industry and sharp employment
fluctuations in the auto industry, which is a high overtime industry. In 1964 the
auto situation was made more complex because of peak demand and a strike of
significant magnitude and duration.
up 1 full hour. In the food industry, employment dropped 160, 000, while overtime
rose 0. 5 hour. Finally, primary metals employment was down 130, 000, and overtime
went up 0. 4 hour. Within these industries, there have unquestionably been shifts in
establishment-operating procedures, the required occupational skills, seasonal movements, contractual agreements, and so on. While structural changes such as these
probably account for the long-run increase in overtime, they do not detract from the
fact that in the face of lower employment levels overtime has clearly increased.
Examination of the data for individual industries also showed that:
1. Average overtime is greater and somewhat more volatile in the durable
than in nondurable goods industries,. Presumably, cyclical responsiveness, industrial composition, union-management relations, and methods of operation are
responsible for these differences.
2. Seasonal patterns of overtime work do not differ enough to account for
the wide variations in the average level of overtime among the manufacturing
industries.
3. While there does not appear to be a distinct increase in the absolute overtime gap between the highest (paper, at 4. 7 in 1964) and lowest industries (apparel,
at 1. 3), there have been some dramatic changes in relative levels. In transportation
equipment, rubber, lumber, textiles, and furniture, average overtime has increased
sharply over the 1956-64 period, whereas in the ordnance, printing, electrical
machinery, and miscellaneous manufacturing industries it has declined.
40 Equal overtime averages are frequently associated with vastly different
average workweeks. For example, overtime was practically the same for machinery,
transportation equipment, and stone, clay, and glass,and yet their average workweeks
differed by as much as 0o 9 hour. In paper, where the average workweek was 0.4
hour longer than in machinery, overtime averaged 0. 8 hour more. These differences
arise primarily from variations in the point at which payment of premiums must begin.
Although 40 hours is the usual cutoff point in most industries, a high proportion of
workers in the garment industry received overtime pay after 3 5 hours, and a large share
of the brewing industry works on a 37-1/2 hour scheduled straight-time workweek.
In contrast, overtime need not be paid during the harvest season in the canning
industry (part of the food group) until 56 hours a week have been worked.
5. Variations in overtime levels during the business cycle suggest that
some industries use overtime far more readily as a cyclical adjustment mechanism
than others. However, given the comparatively high levels of weekly hours in
most of the industries which show correspondingly high levels of overtime,it is
difficult to accept the belief that overtime is used as a form of compensation for
short workweeks during periods of seasonal or cyclical lows.
Seasonal Variation in Factory Overtime
As witK most economic time series, average overtime registers- certain
changes over the course of a year with more than accidental regularity. This
annually repetitive pattern has two closely related and important features. First,
it reflects the allocation of seasonal overtime demand during the course of a
calendar year. Second, it constitutes some proportion of gross annual overtime.
Both features are of considerable importance; however, it should be borne in
mind that the amplitude of seasonal fluctuations determines the size of the aggregate
"seasonal" contribution to total overtime.
The calendar year distribution of factory production workers 1 overtime has
consistently shown the following pattern: starting from a January-February low,
overtime moves steadily upward, reaching a peak in September, then dropping slightly
to a high and stable level for the last three months of the year (table 6). The sharpest
month-to-month change occurs between December and January, when hours move down
from pre-Christmas highs to the usual post-Christmas lull. As the seasonal factors
in table 6 show, both the durable and nondurable goods sectors follow essentially the
same pattern.
The amplitude of the seasonal variations for both durables and nondurables
are about the same. These seasonal changes range from January or February lows,
which are approximately 10 percent below the annual average, to August or September
highs, which are approximately 10 percent above the annual average. Thus, at these
broad levels, the seasonal variation in overtime is comparatively small and follows
a pattern which places peak seasonal demand in the last six months of the year. The
range of the seasonal factors suggests that net seasonal overtime is equal to approximately one-fifth of annual overtime. 7 Furthermore, seasonal overtime peaks occur
in roughly the same time period that employment is at its seasonal high and when
unemployment is at a seasonal low.
Cyclical Changes in Average Overtime
When the influence of seasonal changes has been removed from the series,
variations in factory overtime are most closely linked with changes in the business
cycle. As charts 1 and 2 indicate, changes in average overtime lead general cyclical
changes by several months. It is reasonable that this should be the case since hours
of work probably constitute the handiest short-run adjustment to changing output
requirements. This simple rationale is strengthened by the fact that the measure of
overtime used here--hours paid at premium rates--represents a significant cost factor
to the employer. As such, this measure of overtime should be particularly sensitive
to changes in the business climate.
In the downphase of a cycle, average overtime clearly begins its downward
movement well before there is general recognition of an economic adjustment.8 This
lead relationship at the downturn is evident not only in the large groups, such as all
durables, but in most of the individual industries and their components
as well. Of course, other economic time series also change direction prior to an
overall downturn. For example, both average weekly hours and production worker
employment have tended to lead cyclical downturns by significant margins (chart 2).
While the movement of these two series lacks the firm commitment evident in the
overtime figures, the three series taken together comprise a very reliable early
warning system.
At the other end of a cycle, when the upturn begins, the average overtime series
tends to be more of a coincident indicator than a lead indicator. This could also be
considered an expected pattern, since when the economy is in a trough, overtime will,
presumably, be at a minimum. As the recovery begins, gaps between actual hours
7
Gross seasonal overtime is unquestionably larger because, in aggregation,
differing seasonal patterns among the major industries tend to balance each other out
and stabilize the overall series. No attempt was made to quantify gross seasonal
overtime; however, it is an important area for consideration and further study.
8
When related to the NBER overall turning point, the lead time was 6 months
for the 1957-58 recession and 4 months for the 1960-61 recession. In both instances,
however, overtime continued to move down until a month or so before the NBER
upturn.
worked and the normal workweek will generally be filled before overtime is scheduled.
In such a situation, average straight-time hours could become a key indicator.
In the p eriods between distinct economic upturns and downturns, overtime
has continued to show considerable volatility. Noncyclical movements, which could
result from a host of diverse forces, can generally be attributed to changing economic
conditions in certain industries. Such movements are the major reason why overtime
should be used only in conjunction with other indicators (such as gross weekly hours,
employment, production, sales, and inventories) in assessing cyclical changes.
Examples of such forces include changing industrial composition, strike effects, and
brief periods of unusual demand in certain industries. Unmentioned, but no less
important than these factors, is the desire of employers to minimize costs. 9 At high
but not increasing levels of activity, reduction of overtime would lead to substantial '
cost savings through the avoidance of premium wage payments. Moreover, "reduction
of overtime may also enhance productivity, since overtime hours tend to be less
productive, and liberal use of overtime may encourage 'drag-out 1 of work1.'10
Overtime hours changes tend to lead employment changes in both phases of
the cycle (chart 2). The continuation of existing employment trends, after overtime
hours have changed direction, appears to be a result of the momentum of prevailing
employment policies. Although decisions on overtime, relating to the length of the
workweek, are typically made at the middle management level in response to
changes in current workloads, decisions to change hiring policies are made at the
plant management level, or even higher. That is, changes in weekly hours come
about as the result of fluctuations in current workloads and are short-term adjustment of labor input. In contrast, changes in employment, other than those resulting
from normal turnover, are the result of policy decisions based on long-term
anticipated workloads. The latter adjustment presumes some revisions in the business
outlook of the plant, division, or company; they require the accumulation of internal
and external evidence that such revision is warranted.
The Role of Overtime in Earnings
Since the amount of overtime worked varies by industry as well as by cyclical
phase, there are some startling differences in the influence that overtime plays
in the determination of production workers 1 average weekly earnings (table 5). For
manufacturing as a whole, the average amount of weekly earnings attributable to
hours worked at premium pay ranged from $6.15 (7-1/2 percent) in 1958 to $11.35
(11 percent) in 1964. Since overtime in the durable goods sector is more responsive
to cyclical changes, overtime earnings as a percent of average weekly earnings
show a wider range of fluctuation in the hard goods industries than in soft goods
industries. For example, in apparel, the proportion that overtime provides of
average weekly earnings is comparatively small, having ranged from 4.1 to 5. 3
percent during the period 1956-64. In primary metals, however, the proportion has
shown sharp changes, ranging from 5,4 percent in 1958 to 11 percent in 1964.
9
Cost minimization could, under special circumstances, be accomplished by
increasing the amount of overtime work (more intensive use of current workforce).
In some quarters there appears to be an accepted feeling that cost of adding employees to the payroll (recruitment plus fringe benefits) is greater than cost of paying
overtime. In "Fringe Benefits and Overtime as Barriers to Expanding Employment,"
J. W. Garbarino suggests that this is probably not the case. See: The Industrial
and Labor Relations Review, Vol. 17, No. 3, April 1964, pp. 426-41T

There is always some overtime work reported in each of the manufacturing
industries regardless of the overall economic situation.
To summarize, the reasons
for overtime work in both good times and bad include: (1) temporary scheduling
problems; (2) normal seasonal fluctuations; (3) prevailing standard overtime practices;
(4) divergent movements in demand among individual establishments or within various
industry groups. Taken together, these forces have brought about overtime changes
of up to 25 percent in as short a period as 4 months. For example, average manufacturing overtime fell from 2. 5 hours in October I960 to 1.9 hours in January 1961.
Although this was a combined seasonal and cyclical change and has little meaning for
trend analysis, it shows that the portion of gross payrolls attributable to overtime fell
by nearly one-fourth in a very short time span. Because overtime is paid at premium
rates, such a change magnifies the income effect of changing business conditions.

^Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Two groups averaging about one-quarter million
workers which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work)—those on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 dayswere assigned to different classifications, mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.
2Not available.
^Beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into
the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the
figures for total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected.
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 population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other
labor force categories were not appreciably changed.
^Figures for periods prior to April 1962 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of i960 Census data into the estimation procedure. The
change primarily affected the labor force and employment totals, which were reduced by about 200,000. The unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.
NOTE: Data for 1929—39 based on sources other than direct enumeration.

Employment
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 including the 12th
of the month.
Data based on establishment payroll records ate
compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State
agencies. The payroll survey provides detailed industry
information on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours, average hourly and weekly
earnings, and labor turnover for the Nation, States, and
metropolitan areas.
The figures are based on payroll reports from a sample of establishments employing about 25 million nonfarm
wage and salary workers. The data relate to all workers,
full- or part-time, who received pay during the payroll
period which includes the 12th of the month.
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:
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 provides information on the work status of the population
without duplication since each person is classified as
employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed
persons holding more than one job are counted only once,
and are classified according to the job at which they
worked the greatest number of hours during 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.
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 wfco 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.
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 reasons for
some noncomparability are different treatment of business
units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, the
industrial classification of establishments, and different
reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are
also differences in the scope of the industries covered,
e.g., the Census of Business excludes contract construction, professional services, public utilities, and financial establishments, whereas these are included in BLS
statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments
of Commerce and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ
from BLS establishment statistics in the treatment of
central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrial classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes
interstate railroads and government, and coverage is incomplete for some of the nonprofit activities.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under 14 in the Statistic a l Research S e r v i c e (SRS) s e r i e s and the treatment
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers
are covered by the unemployment insurance programs.
All workers in certain activities, such as interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, smalil firms in covered
industries are also excluded in 32 States. In general,
these are establishments with less than four employees.
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.
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 Household Statistics
on Employment and Unemployment from the Current Pop'
ulation Survey", Bureau of Labor Statistics Report No.
279. This report is available from BLS on request.)
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 was 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.
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population 14
years and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain
information about the employment status of each member
of the household 14 years of age and over. The inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,
Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of the
month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Each month, 35,000 occupied units are designated
for interview. About 1,500 of these households are
visited but interviews are not obtained because the occupants are not found at home after repeated calls or are
unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 4 percent. In addition
to the 35,000 occupied units there are 5,000 sample units
in an average month which are visited but found to be vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of the sample
is changed each month. The rotation plan provides
for 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
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.
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 work for
religious , charitable, and similar organizations.
Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did
not work at all during the survey week and were looking
for work, regardless of whether or not they were eligible
for unemployment insurance. Also included as unemployed
are those who did not work at all and (a) were waiting to
be called back to a job from which they had been laid
off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new wage or salary
job within 30 days (and were not in school during the
survey week); or (c) would have been looking for work
except that they were temporarily ill or believed no
work was available in their line of work or in the community. 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.
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 14 years
and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed.
These persons are further classified as
"engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or mental
illness, and "other," The "other" group includes for
the most part retired persons, those reported as too old to
work, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom
the survey week fell in an "off" season and who were
not reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) are also
classified as not in the labor force.
Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker 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 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.
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
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 t e r m i n a t i o n 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).
t%
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 nonfarm, 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 is, the variations that might occur by chance
because only a sample of the population is surveyed.
The chances are about 2 out of 3 that an. estimate from
the sample would differ from a complete census by less
than the standard error. The chances are about 19 out of
20 that the difference would be less i:han 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.

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:

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.

The reliability of an estimated percentage, com*
puted 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.

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

Establishment Data
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 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*
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonfarm establishments, by industry and geographic
location.
Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, the respondent fills out only one employment or
labor turnover schedule, which is then used for national,
State, and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate
reporting on the part of respondents and, together with
the use of identical techniques at the national and State
levels, insures maximum geographic comparability of
estimates.
Industry Employment
Employment data for all except the Federal Government refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for any part of the pay period which includes
the 12th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, employment figures represent the number of
persons who occupied positions on the last day of the
calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if they
performed any service during the month.
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 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
Two types of data collection schedules are used:
Form BLS 790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and H o u r s ; and Form DL 1219—Monthly Report
on Labor Turnover. These schedules are of the "shuttle"
type, with space for each month of the calendar year.
The schedule is returned to the respondent each month
by the collecting agency so that the next month's data
can be entered. This procedure assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting, since the respondent
can see the figures he has reported for previous months.
The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of full- and part-time workers, on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours of production and related workers or
nonsupervisory workers for the pay period which most
nearly coincides with the standard survey reference week
(the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of the month). The labor turnover schedule provides for the collection of information on the total
number of accessions and separations, by type, during
the calendar month.
CONCEPTS
Industrial Clossification
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 establishmenc 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 nocsupervisory 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 which includes
the 12th of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind, e.g., for old-age and unemployment
insurance, group insurance, withholding tax, bonds, or
union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays,
vacations, and sick leave paid directly by the firm*
Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay
period), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e.g.,
retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals,
or other payment in kind are excluded.
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 which includes the 12th 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 the 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
which includes the 12th of the month. Overtime hours
are those for which premiums were paid because the
hours were in excess of the number of hours of either the
straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and holiday hours are included only if premium wage rates were
paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard,
incentive, or other similar types of premiums were paid
are excluded.
Railroad Hours and Earnings
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
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. Shifts in the volume of
employment between relatively high-paid and low-paid
work and changes in workers' earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages.
Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes
in average h o u r l y 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 pro*
duetion-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
7-E
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.
"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*
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.
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
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.
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
11A 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.
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 for a period expected to last more than 30 consecutive calendar days.
Comparability With Employment Series
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.
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 t:he entire calendar month; the employment reports refer i:o the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month; and (2) employees
on strike are not counted as turnover actions although
such employees are excluded from the employment estimates if the work stoppage extends through the report
period.
Labor Turnover
ESTIMATING METHODS
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employed s t a t u s with
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.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
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 "Link Relative" Technique
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.
Separations ate terminations of employment during
the calendar month and are classified according to cause:
Quits, layoffs, and other separations, as defined as follows:
8-E
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 labor
turnover statistics are described in the table on page 12-E.
Further details are given in the technical notes on Meas*
urement of Employment, Hours, and Earnings in Nonagri*
cultural Industries and on Measurement of Labor Turnover,
which are available upon request.
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight
the hours and earnings into broader industry groupings.
Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an employment,
hours, or earnings series, as the term is used in the summary of computational methods on page 12-E, may be a
whole industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a
size stratum of a region within an industry.
coverage is attained. In addition, to meet the needs of
preparing estimates of weekly hours and hourly earnings,
procedures were introduced to secure representation of
the smaller establishments in each industry. Because of
this procedure, and also because sampling takes place
primarily at the level of the metropolitan areas, which
vary greatly in size, the sample includes a considerable
number of small establishments, together with a very
substantial proportion of the larger establishments in
American industry.
Benchmark Adjustments
Employment estimates are periodically compared
with comprehensive counts of employment which provide
"benchmarks" for the various nonagricultural industries,
and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The
industry estimates are currently projected from March
1963 levels; normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.
The primary source of benchmark information is the
employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by
State agencies from reports of establishments covered
under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, covering three-fourths of the total nonfarm employment in the United States, are prepared under the
direction of the Bureau of Employment Security. Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the S o c i a l Security Administration, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and a number of other agencies
in private industry or government.
In the context of the BLS employment and labor
turnover statistics program, with their emphasis on producing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be
obtained which will provide coverage of a sufficiently
large segment of the universe to provide reasonably reliable estimates that can be published promptly and
regularly. The present sample meets these specifications for most industries. With its use, the BLS is able
to produce preliminary estimates each month for many
industries and for many geographic levels within a few
weeks after reports are mailed by respondents, and at a
somewhat later date, statistics in considerably greater
industrial detail. The t e n d e n c y of such a sample
to produce biased estimates of the level of earnings for
certain industries is counteracted by the stratified estimating procedure described under "Estimating Methods."
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series
of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark
and the preceding one, and the new benchmark for each
industry is then carried forward progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends. Thus, under 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.
Coverage
The BLS sample of establishment employment and
payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the
field of social statistics. The table that follows shows
the approximate proportion of total employment in each
industry division covered by the group of establishments
furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for
individual industries within the division may vary from
the proportions shown.
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, 1909-64, Bulletin 1312-2 (Dec. 1964), and contains monthly statistics
from the earliest date of availability through August 1964.

THE SAMPLE
Mining
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 area level with supplementation for establishments in sections of the State
lying outside of the defined areas. The national sample
therefore is then the sum of all the State samples.

In cutoff sampling, the general objective is to
obtain a sample comprising a large enough proportion
of universe employment so that satisfactory estimates
can be prepared. Since employer participation in the
BLS programs 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

in terms of employment, of the labor turnover sample.
Approximate size and coverage of BLS labor turnover sample,

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.

Reliability of the Employment Estimate
One measure of the reliability of an employment
estimate projected from a benchmark is the amount by
which it differs from the new benchmark at the next adjustment period. The BLS uses this criterion 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 some detailed industries, the relative size of
the correction to benchmarks is somewhat greater than
is indicated for the major industry divisions in the preceding table.
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,, changes in classification are 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.
For the most recent months, national estimates of
employment, hours, and. earnings are preliminary, and
are so footnoted in the tables. These particular figures
are based on less than the full sample and consequently
are subject to revisions when all the reports in the
sample have been received. Studies of these revisions
of preliminary estimates in the past indicate that they
have been relatively small (and most frequently upward)
for employment, and even smaller for hours and earnings.
STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and
labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State
agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics
relate to metropolitan areas. Definitions for all areas
are published each year in the issue of Employment and
Earnings that contains State and area annual averages.
Changes in definitions are noted as they occur. Additional industry detail may be obtained from the State
agencies listed on the inside back cover of each issue.
These statistics are based on the same establishment
reports used by BLS for preparing national estimates.
For employment, the sum of the State figures may differ
slightly from the equivalent official U.S. totals on a national basis, because some States have more recent
benchmarks than others and because of the effects of
differing industrial and geographic stratification.
Users of State and area employment, hours, and
earnings statistics may be interested in Employment
and Earnings Statistics for States and Areas, 1939-63,
BLS Bulletin 1370-1. For the States and the areas shown
in the B and C sections of this periodical, all the annual average data for the detailed industry statistics
currently published by each cooperating State agency
are presented from the earliest date of availability of
each series through 1963.

Seasonal Adjustment
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be estimated on
the basis of past experience. By eliminating that part
of the change which can be ascribed to usual seasonal
variation, it is possible to observe the cyclical and
other nonseasonal movements in the series. However,
in evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern—that
is, changes in a seasonally adjusted series—it is important to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have a broader margin of possible error
than the original data on which they are based, since
they are subject not only to sampling and other errors
but, in addition, are affected by the uncertainties of the
seasonal adjustment process itself. Seasonally adjusted
series for selected labor force and establishment data
are published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these
series is an adaptation of the standard ratio-ro-mnvinR
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
Bureau of Labor Statistics Seasonal Factor Method."
durable and nondurable goods, aggregate weekly manhours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing
the aggregate weekly man-hours, seasonally adjusted,
for the appropriate component industries.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for
Federal Government are based on a series which excludes
the Christmas temporary help employed by the Post
Office Department in December. The employment of
these workers constitutes the only significant seasonal change in Federal Government employment during
the winter months. Furthermore, the volume of such
employment may change substantially from year to year
because of administrative decisions by the Post Office
Department. Hence, it was considered desirable to exclude this group from the data upon which the seasonally
adjusted series is based. Factors currently in use for
the establishment data are shown in the December 1964
Employment and Earnings, and revisions will be made
coincidental with the adjustment of series to new
benchmark levels.
For each of the three major labor force components—agricultural and nonagricultural employment, and
unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and
female workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then
added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In 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).
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.
Seasonally
adjusted aggregate weekly man-hours for mining, contract construction, and the major industries in manufacturing are obtained by multiplying average weekly
hours, seasonally adjusted, by production workers,
seasonally adjusted.
For total, manufacturing, and
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 1964 are published in the
February 1965 Employment andEarnings, Revisions will
be made annually as each additional year's data become
available.
