Emp!oyment Trends N O N F A R M E M P L O Y M E N T RISES S L I G H T L Y IN O C T O B E R 1954 N O N M A N U F A C T U R I N G E M P L O Y M E N T CLOSE T O 1953 R E C O R D L E V E L S Nonfa rm employment increased 110, 000 between September and October 1954, to 48. 6 million. In most sectors employment mov ed seasonally between September and October, but the overall gain was s o m e what larger than usual as a result of a sharp increase in the wo rk force of automobile plants. Most nonmanufacturing industries continued at relatively high levels in October 1954. In service, finance, and State and local government employment was at an all-time peak for October, while trade e m ployment was virtually equal to last year's record for the month. Construction employment, although do wn over the year, was close to the record levels for O c tober reached in the years 1951-53. In mining and transportation, however, employment in October 1954 was well below the high levels of 1953. The wor kwe ek in the Nation's factories averaged 39. 9 hours in October, one-fifth of an hour higher than in September. Average hourly earnings of fac tory production workers, at $1.81, including over time and other p r e m i u m pay, were unchanged over the month. However, as a result of the longer workweek, their average weekly earnings, at $72. 22 in October, were 36 cents higher than last month. A U T O M O B I L E PICKUP HIGHLIGHTS F A C T O R Y JOB P I CTURE Total manufacturing employment, at 16. 0 million, was virtually unchanged from September, but about 1.3 million lower than the October record established last year. Factory employment usually dips slightly between September and October. This year, however, a sharp increase of 80,000 in the transportation equipment in dustry group--a result of the recall of auto workers at the beginning of the new model year--counterbalanced the large seasonal decline in food processing. E m p lo yme nt also rose significantly in the elec trical machinery industry group, continuing the up trend of the last several months. Settlement of the West Coast lumber strike last month continued to have an upward effect on employment in the industry. A m o n g durable goods industries, the machinery and primary metals groups reported small losses, and the w o r k force in fabricated metals plants remained at the September level. In most recent years, these three groups have shown s o m e gain between September and October. Nondurable goods employment, at 7 . 0 million, declined about 80,000, about the average SeptemberOctober dip. The number of jobs in food processing dropped 90,000, the result of a sharp drop in canning activity fr om the seasonal peak. Most other nondur able goods industry groups reported small seasonal employment gains. E mpl oyment in textiles and chemi cals, on the other hand, did not rise as m u c h as usual. Seasonal influences dominated the SeptemberOctober employment changes in nonmanufacturing. With the pickup in fall buying, wholesale and retail trade establishments added 114,000 workers to their rolls, bringing employment to 10. 6 million in October. Government employment rose 107,000, to 6 .8 million, as seasonal expansion in State and local government staffs far outweighed the decline of 14,000 in Federal payrolls. Other nonmanufacturing rolls declined between September and October as outdoor activities slackened. E m p l oym ent in the service industries dropped 58, 000, to 5. 5 million, due mainly to the close of the s u m m e r season in resort hotels and a m u s e m e n t and recreation places. The approach of colder weather was reflected in the construction industry employment decline of 43,000, as well as losses of 11,000 in transportation and public utilities, and 7 ,000 in mining. F A C T O R Y W O R K W E E K UP SEASONALLY The average w ork wee k in the Nation's factories was 39. 9 hours in October, up one-fifth of an hour over the previous month, but below the postwar aver age for October. In mo st industry groups the over-the-month changes in hours m et expectations. In fabricated metals and apparel, however, hours of w o r k did not rise as expected, and in ordnance, instruments,and rubber, the w o rkw eek rose m o r e sharply than usual. H O U R L Y P A Y OF F A C T O R Y W O R K E R S U N C H A N G E D Gross average hourly earnings of manufacturing production workers, including overtime and other p r e m i u m pay, at $1. 81 per hour in October, we r e un changed fro m September, with most industry groups showing little change. The largest gain was a 4-cent an hour increase reported by the rubber industry. W E E K L Y PAY UP 36 CENTS Average weekly earnings, at $72. 22 in October, were up 36 cents over the month, reflecting longer hours of work. Higher weekly pay w a s reported in every durable goods industry group, with in creases of m o r e than $ 1. 50 in ordnance and lumber. The largest over-the-month increase in weekly pay--$3.42--occurred in the rubber products in is dustry. This sharp gain resulted primarily from the 4-cent boost in hourly pay and an increase of nearly one hour in the workweek. In the nondurable goods sector as a whole, weekly pay declined 17 cents as a result of the seasonal reduction in the workweek. The largest losses occurred in petroleum, apparel, and chemi cals.

Sept. 1.88 2.33 Exp!anatory Notes iNTRODUCHON The statistics for nonfarm industries presented in this monthly report are part of the broad program of the Bureau of Labor Statistics to provide timely, com prehensive, accurate, and detailed information for the use of businessmen, government officials, legislators, labor unions, research vorkers, and the general public, and are an integral part of the Federal statistical system. Current statistics on employment, labor turn over, hours, and earnings are basic indicators of economic change. They are widely used in following business developments and in making decisions in such fields as marketing, personnel, plant location, and government policy. The BLS employment statistics program also provides data used in making official indexes of production, productivity, and national income. The Bureau publishes monthly statistics on employ ment, and hours and earnings for the Nation, for all states, and for selected metropolitan areas. For employment, the total of enployees in nonagricultural establishments is shown; for hours and earnings, data are available for production workers in manufacturing and selected groups in nonmanufacturing industries. Within these broad activities data are published in varying industry detail. Labor turnover rates are presented for both total manufacturing and component groups, as well as for selected mining and communica tions industries. Statistics on the number and proportion of women employees in manufacturing industries and turnover rates for men and women separately are published quarterly. In addition, earnings adjusted for price changes, Federal taxes, and overtime for selected in dustries appear monthly, as well as indexes of pro duction-worker aggregate weekly man-hours for major manufacturing groups. These data are reprinted regularly in the Monthly Labor Review. Each of the series, from the earliest period to date, may be obtained by writing to the BLS Division of Manpower and Employment Statistics. Such requests should specify the industry series desired. More detailed descriptions of these series are available through reprints of Technical Notes which may be obtained upon request: "Technical Note on the Measurement of Industrial Employment" "Technical Note on Measurement of Labor Turnover" "Technical Note on Hours and Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries" Section A - EMPLOYMENT Definition of Employment BLS employment statistics represent the total on establishment payrolls during a specified period each month. Persons on cm establishment payroll who are on paid sick-leave, paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the specified pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the other part of the period are counted as employed. Persons are not considered employed who are laid off or are on leave without pay, who are on strike for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during the period. Proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, farmworkers, and domestic workers in house holds are also excluded. Government employment covers only civilian employees. Employment data for nongovernmental establishments refer to persons who worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Current data for Federal Government establishments generally refer to persons who worked on, or received pay for, the last day of the month; for State and local government, persons who received pay for any part of the pay period ending on, or im mediately prior to, the last day of the month. Beginning with January 1952, the data for Federal employment are not strictly comparable with those for prior years, primarily as a result of changes in defi nition. For the national series and except for a few states and areas as noted the following changes were made starting with that month: (1) data refer to the last day of the month rather than the first of the month; (2) employment of the Federal Reserve Banks and of the mixed ownership banks of the Farm Credit Admin istration was transferred from the Federal total to the "Banks and Trust Companies" group of the "Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate" division; (3) fourth-class postmasters, formerly included only in the table show ing Federal civilian employment, are now included in all tables showing government series. Collection of Establishment Reports The employment program is based on establishment payroll reports. An establishment is defined as a single physical location, such as a factory, mine, or store where business is conducted. In the case of a company with several plants or establishments, the BLS endeavors to obtain separate reports from each business unit which maintains separate payroll records, since each may be classified in a different industry. The BLS, with the cooperation of State agencies, collects current employment, payroll, and man-hour in formation by means of "shuttle" schedules (BLS 790 Forms) mailed monthly to individual establishments. This shuttle schedule, which has been used by BLS for more than 20 years, is designed to assist firms to report consistently, accurately, and with a minimum of cost. State agencies mail the forms to the establish ments and examine the returns for consistency, accu racy, and completeness. The states use the informa tion to prepare State and area series and then send the schedules to the BLS Division of Manpower and Employment Statistics for use in preparing the national series. Each questionnaire provides a line for the State agency to enter data for December of the previous year, as well as lines for the cooperating establishments to report for each month of the cur rent calendar year. The December data, copied from the completed previous year's form, give the reporter a means for comparison when reporting for January as an aid to collection of consistent data. The same form is returned each month to the reporting establish ment to be completed. Definitions of terms are de scribed in detail in the instructions on each form. Industrial Classification Code. (U. S. Social Security Board) for reports from nonmanufacturing establish ments. Benchmark Data Coverage of Establishment Reports The Bureau of Labor Statistics obtains monthly reports from approximately 155,000 establishments, distributed by industry as shown by the following table. The table also shows the approximate proporticn of total employment in each industry division covered by the group of establishments furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual indus tries within the divisions may vary from the propor tions shown.

Therefore, hours and earnings estimates are based on a slightly smaller sample than employment estimates. Classification of Establishment Reports To present meaningful tabulations of employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover data, establish ments are classified into industries on the basis of the principal product or activity determined from in formation on annual sales volume. This information is collected annually on a product supplement to the monthly report. The supplement provides for reporting the percentage of total sales represented by each pro duct. In the case of an establishment making more than one product, the entire employment of the plant is included under the industry indicated by the most important product. The titles and descriptions of industries presented in the 1945 Standard Industrial Classification Manual. Vol. I (U. S. Bureau of the Budget, Washington, D. C.) are used for classifying reports from manufacturing establishments; the 1942 Experience with employment statistics has shown that without adjustment to new benchmarks, the employ ment estimate tends toward understatement which becomes larger as the distance from the earlier bench mark increases. To adjust for this, the estimates must be periodically compared with actual counts of employment in the various nonagricultural industries, and appropriate revisions made as indicated by the total counts or benchmarks. Basic sources of benchmark information are quar terly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled by State agencies from reports of establish ments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. Supplementary tabulations prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments exempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of their small size. For in dustries not covered by either of the two programs, benchmarks are compiled from special establishment censuses: for example, for interstate railroads, from establishment data reported to the ICC; for State and local government, from data reported to the Bureau of the Census; for the Federal government, from agency data compiled by the Civil Service Commission. Estab lishments are classified into the same industrial groupings for benchmark purposes as they are for monthly reporting. At the time new benchmark data become available, the BLS estimates which had been prepared for the benchmark quarter are compared with the levels of the benchmarks, industry by industry. Where revisions are necessary, the levels are adjusted between the new benchmark and the last previous one. Following revi sion for these intermediate periods, the industry data from the most recent benchmark are projected to the current month by application of the sample trends used prior to the revision. The benchmark establishes the level, while the sample determines the trend. Estimating Mathod The estimating procedure for industries for which data on both "all employees" and "production and re lated workers" are published (i.e., manufacturing and selected mining industries) is outlined below; the first step of this method is also used for industries for which only figures on "all employees" are pub lished. The first step is to compute total employment (all employees) in the industry for the month following the benchmark period. The all-employee total for the last benchmark month (e.g.,March) is multiplied by the per cent change of total employment over the month for a group of establishments reporting for both March and April. Thus, if firms in the BLS sample for an in dustry report 30,000 employees in March and 31,200 in April, April employment is 104 percent (31,200 divided by 30,000) of March employment. If the all-employee benchmark in March is AO,000, the all-employee total in April would be 104 percent of 40,000 or 41,600. The second step is to compute the production-worker total for the industry. The all-employee total for the month is multiplied by the ratio of production workers to all employees, this ratio is computed from those establishment reports which show data for both items. Thus, if these firms in April report 24,400 production vorkers and a total of 30,500 employees, the ratio of production vorkers to all employees vould be .80 (24,4.00 divided by 30,500). The production-vorker total in April vould be 33,280 (41,600 multiplied by .80 ). Figures for subsequent months are computed by carrying foruard the totals for the previous month ac cording to the method described above. Comparability With Other Employment Estimates Data published by other government and private agencies differ from BLS employment statistics because of differences in definition, sources of information, methods of collection, classification, and estimation. BLS monthly figures are not directly comparable, for example, vith the estimates of the Bureau of the Census Monthly Report on the Labor Force (MRLF). Census data are obtained by personal intervievs vith individual members of a small sample of households and are de signed to provide information on the vork status of the vhole population, classified by their demographic char acteristics. The BLS, on the other hand, obtains data by mail questionnaire vhich are based on the payroll records of business units, and prepares detailed statistics on the industrial and geographic distribu tion of employment and on hours of vork and earnings. Since BLS employment figures are based on estab lishment payroll records, persons vho vorked in more than one establishment during the reporting period vill be counted more than once in the BLS series. By definition, proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic servants, and unpaid family vorkers are excluded fl*om the BLS but not the MRLF series. The tvo series also differ in date of reference, BLS collecting data for the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month (except for government), vhile the MRLF relates to the calendar veek containing the 8th day of the month. Employment estimates derived by the Bureau of the Census from its censuses and/or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments also differ from BLS employment statistics. Among the important reasons for lack of comparability are differences in industries covered, in the business units considered parts of an establishment, and in the industrial classification of establishments. ^ EmoloTBBnt Statistics for States and Areas State and area employment statistics are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation vith the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These statistics are based on the same reports used for preparing national estimates. State series are adjusted to benchmark data from State unemployment insurance agencies and the Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance. Because some States have more recent benchmarks than others and use slightly varying methods of computation, the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from the official U. S. totals prepared by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. State and area data in greater industry detail and for earlier periods may be secured directly upon request to the appropriate State agency or to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The names and addresses of these agencies are listed on the inside back cover of this report. - EMPLOYMENT - SUMMARY OF METHODS OF COMPUTATtON Item Individual manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries Total nonagricultural, divisions, major groups and groups MONTHLY DATA All employees All-employee estimate for previous month multiplied by ratio of all employees in current month to all employees in previous month for sample establishments vhich reported for both months.

This movement is subdivided into two broad types: accessions (new hires and rehires) and separa tions (terminations of employment initiated by either the employer or the employee). Each type of action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate per 100 employees. Rates of accession and separation are shown separately. All employees, including execu tive, office, sales, and other salaried personnel as well as production workers are covered by both the turnover movements and the employment base used in computing labor turnover rates. All groups of em ployees - full- and part-time, permanent and tempo rary - are included. Transfers from one establishment to another within a company are not considered to be turnover items. The terms used in labor turnover statistics are defined in the glossary under "Labor Turnover." For example, in an industry sample, the total number of employees who worked during, or received pay for, the week of January 12-18 was reported as 25,493. During the period January 1-31 a total of 284 employees in all reporting firms quit. The quit rate for the in dustry is: 284 x 100 - 1.1 25,498 To compute turnover rates for industry groups, the rates for the component industries are weighted by the estimated employment. Rates for the durable and non durable goods subdivisions and manufacturing division are computed by weighting the rates of major industry groups by the estimated employment. Classification of EatahHshmant Reports Beginning with data for January 1950, manufacturing establishments reporting labor turnover are classified in accordance with the Standard Industrial Classifica tion (1945) code structure. Definitions of nonmanu facturing industries are based on the Social Security Board Classification Code (1942). For additional details, see Section A-Enployment. Source of Data and Sample Coverage Comparability With Earlier Data Labor turnover data are obtained each month from a sample of establishments by means of a mail ques tionnaire. Schedules are received from approximately 7,100 cooperating establishments in the manufacturing, mining, and communication industries (see below). The definition of manufacturing used in the turnover series is more restricted than in the BLS series on employ ment and hours and earnings because of the exclusion of certain manufacturing industries from the labor turnover sample. The major industries excluded are: printing, publishing, and allied industries (since April 1943); canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods; women's and misses' outerwear; and fer tilizer. Approximate coverage of BLS labor turnover sample Group and industry Number of Nondurable goods..... Employees ments in Number in Percent of total sample sample g,Soo 4,800,000 34 4,000 3,400,000 38 2,600 1 ,400,000 27 130 63,000 60 Labor turnover rates are available on a comparable basis from January 1930 for manufacturing as a whole and from 1943 for tvo coal mining and two communication industries. Labor turnover rates for many individual industries and industry groups for the period prior to January 1950 are not comparable with the rates for the subsequent period because of a revision which involved (l) the adoption of the Standard Industrial Classifi cation (1945) code structure for manufacturing indus tries, and (2) the introduction of weighting in the computation of industry-group rates. Comparability With Employment Series Mbnth-to-month changes in total employment in manu facturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bu reau's employment series for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar-month; the em ployment reports, for the most part, refer to a 1-week pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Coal mining: 40 275 30,000 120,000 45 33 582,000 28,000 89 60 Communication: 0/) ^7 Data are not available. Mathod of Computation To compute turnover rates for individual industries, the total number of each type of action (accessions, quits, etc.) reported for a calendar month by the sample establishments in each industry is first divided by the total number of employees (both wage and salary workers), reported by these establishments, who worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of that month. The result is multiplied by 100 to obtain the turnover rate. 4=E (2) The turnover sample is not as large as the employment sample and includes propor tionately fewer small plants; certain in dustries are not covered (see paragraph on source of data and sample coverage). (3) Plants are not included in the turnover com putations in months when work stoppages are in progress; the influence of such stoppages is reflected, however, in the employment figures. Section C - HOURS AND EARN!NGS Production-and Nonsunervisorv-Worker Employment. Payroll, and Man-Hours The monthly employment and payroll schedule provides the following information required to compute averages of hours and earnings: (1) Th^ Tpynhai* pf M d part-tima productionvorkers or nonsupervisory employees vho vorked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period re ported. Data cover production and related vorkers in manufacturing, mining, laundries, and cleaning and dyeing plants. Employees covered in the contract con struction industries are those engaged in actual con struction vork. For the remaining industries, unless othervise noted, data refer to all nonsupervisory em ployees and vorking supervisors. (See glossary.) (2) Total cross payrolls for such vorkers before deductions for old-age and unemployment insurance, withholding tax, bonds, union dues, and special cloth ing allovances. The payroll figures also include pay for sick leave, holidays, and vacations taken. Ex cluded are: cash payments for vacations not taken; retroactive pay not earned during the period reported; value of payments in kind; contributions to velfare funds, and insurance or pension plans; and commissions and bonuses, unless earned and paid regularly each pay period. (3) Total man-hours, vhether vorked or paid for, of full- and part-time production or nonsupervisory vorkers including hours paid for holidays, sick leave, and vacations taken. If employees elect to vork during a vacation period, only actual hours vorked by such employees are included. The period reported generally represents the weekly pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Some establishments, hovever, use a 2-week or longer pay period. Such schedules are edited to reduce the payroll and Ban-hour aggregates to their proper equiva lents for a veekly period. Collection of Establishment Reports earnings for those enployees not covered under the production-worker or nonsupervisory-employee defini tions. In addition to the factors mentioned, which exert varying influences upon gross average hourly earnings, gross average weekly earnings are affected by changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work, stop pages for varying causes, labor turnover, and absen teeism. Gross weekly earnings are not the amount actually available to workers for spending because no deduction has been made for income and social security taxes, group insurance, occupational supplies, and union dues. For veekly earnings after deduction for Federal taxes see table C-3. For approximations of "real" gross veekly earnings, i.e., after adjustment for price changes, see table C-2. Average Weekly Hours The vorkveek information relates to average hours vorked or paid for, and is somevhat different from standard or scheduled hours. Normally, such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time vork, and stop pages cause average weekly hours to be lower than the hours of workers who are on the payroll during the whole workweek. Group averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component industries. Gross Average Weekly Earnings in Current and 1947^49 Dollars Table C-2 shows gross average weekly earnings in both current and 1947-49 dollars for selected indus tries. These series indicate changes in the level of weekly earnings before and after adjustment for changes in purchasing power as determined from the Bureau's Consumer Price Index. The 3-year average— 1947, 1948, and 1949— was selected as the base in conformity with the Bureau of the Budget recommendations that Federal statistics have a common 1947-49 base period. See Section A-Employment. Nee Spendable Average Weekly Earnings Coverage of Establishment Reports See Section A-Employment. Classification of Establishment Reports See Section A-Employment. Description of Gross Averase Hourly and Weekly Earnings Series The average hourly earnings information for manu facturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis; i.e., they reflect not only changes in basic hourly and incentive vage rates, but also such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late shift vork, and changes in output of vorkers paid on an incentive basis. Employment shifts between rela tively 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 should not be confused with wage rates. Earnings refer to the actual return to the worker for a stated period of time; rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit of work or time. However, the average earnings series should not be in terpreted as representing total labor costs on the part of the employer, since the following are excluded: ir regular bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and Net spendable average weekly earnings are obtained by deducting appropriate amounts for social security and Federal income taxes Aron gross weekly earnings. The amount of income tax liability depends on the number of dependents supported by the worker, as well as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these variables, net spendable earnings have been computed for two types of income-receivers: (1) a worker with no dependents; (2) a worker with three dependents. The computations of net spendable earnings for both the factory worker with no dependents and the factory worker with three dependents are based upon the gross average weekly earnings for all production workers in manufacturing industries without regard to marital status, family composition, and total family income. The spendable series measures relative changes in the average disposable earnings for two types of incomereceivers . Net spendable weekly earnings in 1947-49 dollars represent an approximate measure of changes in "real" net spendable weekly earnings as indicated by the changes in the Bureau's Consumer Price Index. "Real" net spendable weekly earnings are computed by applying the current CPI to the spendable earnings average for the current month. The resulting level of spendable earnings expressed in 1947-49 dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since that base period. A detailed technical note on net spendable weekly earnings may be obtained upon request. Average Hourly Earnings. Excluding Overtime, of Production Workers in Manufacturing Industries The Bureau publishes average hourly earnings exclu sive of overtime premium payments for manufacturing as a whole and the durable- and nondurable-goods sub divisions. These data are based on the application of adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly Labor Review. May 1950, pp.537540; reprint available, Serial No. R. 2020). This method eliminates only the additional earnings due to overtime paid for at one and one-half time the straighttime rates after 40 hours a week. Thus, no adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions— for example, holiday work,-late shift work, and penalty rates other than time and one-half. The set of adjustment factors can be used to eli minate premium overtime payments from average hourly earnings in any manufacturing industry where overtime for individual workers consists typically of hours in excess of 40 per week paid for at the rate of time and one-half. As these factors yield results which are only approximate, they may not be appropriate when exact figures are required. Indexes of Production-4Jorker Aggregate Weekly Man-hours 1 week of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, and may not be typical of the entire month. Ag gregate man-hours differ from scheduled man-hours due to such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover, parttime work, and stoppages. Railroad Hours and Earnings The figures for Class I railroads (excluding switch ing and terminal companies) are based upon monthly data summarized in "the M-300 report of the Interstate Com merce Commission and relate to all employees who re ceived pay during the month, except executives, offi cials, and staff assistants (ICC Group I). Gross averqgB hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensa tion 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. Because hours and earnings data for manufacturing and other nonmanufacturing industries are based upon reports to the Bureau of Labor Statistics which generally represent 1 weekly pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, the data for railroad employees are not strictly comparable with other in dustry information shown in this publication. Hours and Gross E^miT^s for Selected States and Areas The indexes of production-worker aggregate weekly man-hours are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the monthly average for the 1947-^49 period. These aggregates represent the product of average weekly hours and production-worker employment. The aggregate man-hours are defined as total manhours for which pay was received by full- and part-time production workers, including hours paid for holidays, sick leave, and vacations taken. The man-hours are for - HOURS AND EARN!NGS Item The State and area hours and earnings data for manu facturing are prepared by cooperating State agencies. These estimates are based on the same reports used in preparing national estimates. Inasmuch as the estimates presented in this report relate only to manufacturing as a whole, variations in earnings among the States and areas are, to a large degree, caused by differences in industrial composition. For additional details on State and area statistics see Section A-Employment.

Quits are terminations of employment during the calendar month initiated by employees for such reasons as: acceptance of a job in another company, dissatisfaction, return to school, marriage, mater nity, ill health, or voluntary retirement where no company pension is provided. Failure to report after being hired and unauthorized absences of more than seven consecutive calendar days are also classified as quits. Prior to 1940, miscellaneous separations were also included in this category. ALL EMPLOYEES - Includes production and related workers as defined below and workers engaged in the follow ing activities: executive, purchasing, finance, ac counting, legal, personnel (including cafeterias, medical, etc.), professional and technical activities, sales, sales-delivery, advertising, credit collection, and installation and servicing of own products, rou tine office functions, factory supervision (above the working foreman level). Also includes employees on the establishment payroll engaged in new construction and major additions or alterations to the plant who are utilized as a separate work force (force-account construction workers). Proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic servants, unpaid family workers, and members of the Armed Forces are excluded. Discharges are terminations of employment during the calendar month initiated by the employer for such reasons as employees' incompetence, violation of rules, dishonesty, insubordination, laziness, habitual ab senteeism, or inability to meet physical standards. CONSTRUCTION WORKERS - Includes working foreman, journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, helpers, laborers, and similar workers, engaged in new work, alterations, demolition, and other actual construction work, at the site of construction or working in shop or yard at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling) ordinarily performed by members of the construction trades; in cludes all such workers, regardless of skill, engaged in any way in contract construction activities. Layoffs are terminations of employment during the calendar month lasting or expected to last more than seven consecutive calendar days without pay, initi ated by the employer without prejudice to the worker, for such reasons as lack of orders or materials, re lease of temporary help, conversion of plant, intro duction of labor-saving machinery or processes, or suspensions of operations without pay during inven tory periods. CONTRACT CONSTRUCTION - Covers only firms engaged in the construction business on a contract basis for others. Force-account construction workers, i.e., hired di rectly by and on the payroll of Federal, State, and local government, public utilities, and private estab lishments, are excluded from contract construction and included in the employment for such establishments MLscellaneous separations (includlnc military) are terminations of employment duritg the calendar month because of permanent disability, death, retirement on company pension, and entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than thirty consecutive calendar days. Prior to 1940, miscellaneous separations were included with quits. Beginning September 1940, mili tary separations were included here. DURABLE GOODS - The durable goods subdivision includes the following major industry groups: ordnance and accessories; lumber and wood products; furniture and fixtures; stone, clay, and glass products; primary metal industries; fabricated metal products; machinery; electrical machinery; transportation equipment; in struments and related products; and miscellaneous manufacturing industries as defined. This definition is consistent with that used by other Federal agencies, e.g., Federal Reserve Board. FINANCE, INSURANCE, AND REAL ESTATE - Covers establish ments operating in the fields of finance, insurance, and real estate, and beginning January 1952, also in cludes the Federal Reserve Banks and the mixed-ownership banks of the Farm Credit Administration for national and most State and area estimates. However, in a few State and area estimates the latter two agencies are included under Government until revisions can be made by the cooperating State agencies con cerned. These exceptions are appropriately noted. G0VERNM5NT - Covers Federal, State, and local government establishments performing legislative, executive, and judicial functions, including Government corporations, Government force-account construction, and such units as arsenals, navy yards, and hospitals. Fourth-class postmasters are included in the national series and most State and area series. Exceptions are noted. State and local government employment includes teachers, but excludes, as nominal employees, paid volunteer firemen and elected officials of small local units. LABOR TURNOVER: Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar month and are classified according to cause: quits, discharges, layoffs, and miscellaneous Persons on leave of absence (paid or unpaid) with the approval of the employer are not counted as sepa rations until such time as it is definitely determined that such persons will not return to work. At that time, a separation is reported as one of the above types, depending on the circumstances. Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment roll during tht calendar month, including both new and rehired em ployees. Persons returning to work after a layoff, military separation, or other absences who have been counted as separations are considered accessions. MANUFACTURING - Covers only private establishments. Government manufacturing operations such as arsenals and navy yards are excluded from manufacturing and included under Government. MINING - Covers establishments engaged in the extraction from the earth of organic and inorganic minerals which occur in nature as solids, liquids, or gases; includes various contract services required in mining opera tions, such as removal of overburden, tunneling and shafting, and the drilling or acidizing of oil wells; also includes ore dressing, beneficiating, and con centration.
