The national employment figures shown
in this report have been adjusted to
first quarter 1955 benchmark levels.
A Note Concerning—
THE COOPERATIVE LA B O R TURNOVER STATISTICS PRO G R A M
The Department of Labor has launched a pro
gram for the collection and publication of labor
turnover statistics which will integrate the
current activities in this field of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, Bureau of Employment Secu
rity, and State employment security agencies.
The BLS has been computing and publishing
monthly labor turnover rates for manufacturing
on a national basis for more than a quarter cen
tury.
Over the years, rates have been prepared
for an increasing nunflber of individual indus
tries and are now published for 120 industries
in manufacturing, mining, and comramication
activities. The current BLS program, based on
a national sançxLe of approximately 10,000 estab
lishments, is the successor to one established
in 1926 by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
and transferred in 1929 to the BLS.
Since the early days of World War II, the
State employment security agencies have been
collecting labor turnover data from a large num
ber of establishments, both for internal opera
ting purposes and for publication as part of
their labor market information releases.
The
information was needed to aid in the resolution
of complex wartime manpower problems, and its
collection has been continued since that time
because of its importance in planning, carrying
out, and evaluating employment security programs.
Turnover information is included in the bimonth
ly Labor Market Reports received by the EES from
some 150 major labor market areas.
The new program, which is operated jointly
by the two Bureaus and the State employment
security agencies, will integrate these activi
ties into a single program from which labor
turnover rates will be available for local areas,
States, and the Nation.
Arrangements for introducing the program
hove been made jointly by the BLS and the BES on
a State-by-State basis* When the turnover pro
gram is instituted in a State, responsibility
for data collection for all establishments in
the current national sample for that State is
transferred from BLS in Washington to the State
employment security agency.
The BLS notifies
employers in the sample that the State employ
ment security agency has taken over the collec
tion of turnover statistics. The following
month, the State agency also notifies them of
the new program, solicits their continued cooper
ation, and, in cases where the establishment is
currently reporting labor turnover and other
data to the State agency, explains the new col
lection arrangements.
The program has been introduced in some 25
States
(including major areas within these
States) during the year. At the outset, area
samples are developed to include all manufacturixg and mining establishments which employ 20 or
more workers and were included either in the
sample for the Current Employment Statistics
Program or in the employment service "major mar
ket”group (larger firms accounting for about 75
percent of the employment in each local office
area). Eventually, it is hoped to extend the pro
gram to cover all nonagricultural industries in
all States and the major areas within the States.
Data are collected by the State employment
security agencies on a shuttle schedule. The
State agencies edit the schedules and compute
and release turnover rates for the State and
local areas.
Individual establishment data are
forwarded to BLS in Washington for the prepara
tion and release of national turnover rates.
This extension of the labor turnover statis
tics program eventually will permit publication
of national turnover rates in greater industrial
detail and for those industries for which such
Information is not now available. At the same
time, through the combined technical resources
of the two Bureaus and the State agencies, im
provement is expected in the national, State,
local area, and individual establishment data on
labor turnover. This expansion and improvement
of labor turnover statistics should greatly en
hance their value as economic indicators, as
guides to employers, labor organizations and
others interested in labor market problems, and
as an essential tool in employment security
administration.

M ost of the better than usual gain w hich
b oosted em ploym ent in the e le c tr ic a l m a ch in ery

Explanatory Notes
INTRODUCTION
The statistics for nonfarm industries presented in
this monthly report are part of the broad program of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics to provide timely, com
prehensive, accurate, and detailed information for the
use of businessmen, government officials, legislators,
labor unions, research workers, and the general public»
The statistics are an integral part of the Federal
statistical system, and are considered basic indica
tors of the state of the Nation's economy* They are
widely used in following and interpreting business
developments and in making decisions in such fields as
labar-management negotiations, marketing, personnel,
plant location, and government policy. In addition,
Government agencies use the data in this report to com
pile official indexes of production, labor productivity,
and national income.

all other establishments.
c. Coverage
Monthly reports on employment and, for most indus

ESTIMATING
METHODS:
A.
EMFLOXMSNT
Definition
Employment data for all except Federal Government
establishments refer to persons who worked during, or
received pay for, any part of the pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month. For Federal Government
establishments current data generally refer to persons
who worked on, or received pay for, the last day of
the month.
Persons on an 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 un
employed or on strike during the other part of the
period are counted as employed. Persons are not con
sidered employed who are laid off or are on leave with
out pay, who are on strike for the entire period, or
who are hired but do not report to work during the
period. Proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family
workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in house
holds are also excluded. Government employment covers
only civilian employees; Federal military personnel
are shown separately, but their number is excluded
from total nonagricultural employment.
With respect to employment in educational institu
tions (private and governmental), BLS considers regular
full-time teachers to be employed during the summer
vacation period whether or not they are specifically
paid in those months.
Benchmark Data
Employment estimates are periodically compared with
complete counts of employment in the various nonagri2 -E
cultural Industries, and appropriate adjustments made
as indicated by the total counts or benchmarks. The
comparison made for the first 3 months of 1955 resulted
in changes amounting to 0.8 percent of all nonagricul
tural employment. Among the eight major industry divi
sions changes ranged from 0.2 to 2.3 percent, with the
exception of contract construction which required an
adjustment of 6.2 percent. As a result, the estimating
techniques for contract construction were reviewed in
detail and certain refinements have been introduced.
Manufacturing industries as a whole were changed by 0.2
percent, a slightly smaller amount than necessary in
195U. vithin manufacturing, U3 of the 132 individual
industries required no adjustment because the estimate
and benchmark differed by less than 1.0 percent or less
than 500 and 78 were adjusted by 1.0-U.9 percent. One
significant cause of differences between the benchmark
and estimate is the change in industrial classification
of individual firms, which cannot be reflected in BLS
estimates until they are adjusted to new benchmarks.
Other causes are sampling and response errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of 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 unem
ployment insurance laws because of their small size.
Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded
from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from
a variety of other sources.
The BLS estimates which are prepared for the
benchmark quarter are compared with the new benchmark
levels, industry by industry. Where revisions are
necessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between
the new benchmark and the preceding one. Following
revision for these intermediate periods, the industry
data from the most recent benchmark are projected to
the current month by use of the sample trends. Under
this 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.
Estimating ttathod
The estimating procedure for industries for which
data on both "all employees”and 11production and re
lated workers”are published (manufacturing and
selected mining industries) is outlined below; the
first step under this method is also used for indus
tries for which only figures on ”
all employees”are
published.
The first step is to compute total employment (all
employees) in the industry for the month following the
benchmark period. The all-employee total for the last
benchmark month (e.g., March) is multiplied by the
percent change of total employment over the month for
the group of establishments reporting for both March
and April. Thus, if firms in the BLS sample for an
industry report 30,000 employees in Jferch 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 40,000, the all-employee
total in April would be 104 percent of 40,000 or
41,600.
The second step is to compute the productionworker 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
establishment reports in the monthly sample. Thus, if
these firms in April report 24,960 production workers
and a total of 31,200 employees, the ratio of produc
tion workers to all employees would be .80 (24,960
divided by 31,200). The production-worker total in
April would be 33*280 (41*600 multiplied by .80).
Figures for subsequent months are computed by
carrying forward the totals for the previous month ac
cording to the method described above.
The number of women employees in manufacturing,
published quarterly, is computed by multiplying the
all-employee estimate for the industry by the ratio
of women to all employees as reported in the industry
sample.
Employment Adjusted for Seasonal Variation
Employment series for many industries reflect a
regularly recurring seasonal movement which can be
measured on the basis of past experience. By elimi
nating that part of the change in employment which can
be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is pos
sible to clarify the cyclical and other nonseasonal
movements in the series. Adjusted employment aggre
gates are shown and also indexes (1947-49 * 100) de
rived from these aggregates. The indexes have the
additional advantage of comparing the current sea*
sonally adjusted employment level with average employ
ment in the base period.
Comparability with Other Employment Estimates
Employment data published by other government and
private agencies may differ from BLS employment sta
tistics because of differences in definition, sources
of Information, methods of collection, classification,
and estimation. BLS monthly figures are not directly
comparable, for example, with the estimates of the
Census Monthly Report on the Labor Force (MiLF).
Census data are obtained by personal interviews with
individual members of a small sample of households
and are designed to provide information on the work
status of the whole population, classified by their
demographic characteristics. The BLS, on the other
hand, obtains data by mall questionnaire which are
based on the payroll records of business units, and
prepares detailed statistics on the industrial and
geographic distribution of employment and on hours of
work and earnings.
Since BLS employment figures are derived from
establishment payroll records, persons who worked in
more than one establishment during the reporting peri
od will be counted more than once in the BLS series.
By definition, proprietors, self-employed persons,
domestic servants, and unpaid family workers are ex
cluded from the BLS but not the MRLF series.
Employment estimates compiled by the Bureau of the
Census from its censuses and/or annual sample surveys
of manufacturing establishments also differ from BLS
employment statistics. Among the important reasons
for lack of comparability are differences in indus
tries covered, in the business units considered parts
of an establishment, and in the industrial classifi
cation of establishments. Similar differences exist
between the BLS data and those in Countv Business
Patterns published jointly by the U.S. Department of
Commerce and the U.S. Department of Health, Education
and Welfare .
B. LABOR TURNOVER
Definition
"Labor turnover," as used in the BLS program, re
fers to the gross movement of wage and salary workers
into and out of esployment status with respect to in
dividual firms during a calendar month. This movement
is subdivided into two broad types: accessions (new
hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of
employment initiated by either employer or enployee).
Each type of action Is cumulated for a calendar month
and expressed as a rate per 100 employees. All em
ployees, including executive, office, sales, other
salaried personnel, and production workers are cov
ered by both the turnover movements and the employment
base used in computing labor turnover rates. All
groups of enroloyee8— full- and part-time, permanent,
and temporary— are included. Transfers from one es
tablishment to another within a company are not con
sidered to be turnover items.
Method of Computation
To compute turnover rates for individual indus
tries, the total number of each type of action (ac
cessions, quits, etc.) reported for a calendar month
by the sample establishments in each industry is first
divided by the total number of employees reported by
these establishments, who worked during, or received
pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the
15th of that month. The result is multiplied by 100
to obtain the turnover rate.
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
25,498. During the period January 1-31 a total of
284 employees in all reporting firms quit. The quit
rate for the industry is:
284 x 100 = 1.1
25,498
To compute turnover rates for broader industrial
categories, the rates for the component industries
are weighted by the estimated employment.
Separate turnover rates for men and women are pub
lished quarterly for 1 month in each quarter. Only
accessions, quits, and total separations are publish
ed. These rates are computed in the same manner as
the all-employee rates; for example, the quit rate for
women is obtained from an industry sample by dividing
the number of women who quit during the month by the
number of women employees reported.
Average monthly turnover rates for the year for
all employees are computed by dividing the sum of the
monthly rates by 12.
c<wpapjft4iWy
EfrriUqr. Qata
Labor turnover rates are available on a compara
ble basis from January 1930 for manufacturing as a
whole and from 1943 for two coal mining and two com
munication industries. Rates for many individual in
dustries and industry groups for the period prior to
January 1950 are not conparable with those for the
subsequent period because of a revision which in
volved (1) the adoption of the Standard Industrial
Classification (1945) code structure for manufactur
ing industries, and (2) the introduction of weighting
3-E
in the computation of industry-group rates.
Conrparability with Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in man
ufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover
rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the
Bureau's employment series for the following reasons:
(1) Accessions and separations are computed
for the entire calendar-month; the em
ployment reports, for the most part,
refer to a 1-week pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month.
(2) The turnover sample excludes certain in
dustries (see under coverage, p. 2-E)•
(3) Plants on strike are not included in the
turnover computations beginning with the
month the strike starts through the month
the workers return; the influence of such
stoppages is reflected, however, in the
employment figures.
C.
HOURS AND EARNINGS
Definitions of production workers, nonsupervisory
employees, payrolls, and man-hours from which hours
and earnings data are derived are included in the
glossary, page 7-E. Methods used to compute hours
and earnings averages are described in summary of
methods for computing national statistics, page 6-E.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and non
manufacturing industries are on a ’
’
gross”basis, i.e.,
they reflect not only changes in basic hourly and in
centive 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
basis. Employment shifts between relatively high-paid
and low-paid work and changes in workers* earnings in
individual establishments also affect the general
earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions
further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for
individual industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings refer to the actual return to the worker for
a stated period of time; rates are the amounts stipu
lated for a given unit of work or time. However, the
average earnings series does not measure the level of
total labor costs on the part of the employer, since
the following are excluded: irregular bonuses, ret
roactive items, payments of various welfare benefits,
payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for
those employees not covered under the productionworker or uonsupervisory-employee definitions.
Gross average weekly earnings are affected not
only by changes in gross average hourly earnings, but
also by changes in the length of the workweek, parttime work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turn
over, and absenteeism.
Average Weekly Hours
The workweek information relates to average hours
worked or paid for, and is somewhat different from
standard or scheduled hours. Normally, such factors
4 —E
as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and
stoppages cause average weekly hours to be lower than
scheduled hours of work for an establishments. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of
component industries.
Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of reg
ular hours and for which premium payments were made.
If an employee works on a paid holiday at regular rates,
receiving as total compensation his holiday pay plus
straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no overtime
hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by defini
tion, the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not
necessarily move in the same direction from month to
month; for example, premiums may be paid for hours in
excess of the straight-time workday although less than
a full week is worked. Diverse trends on the industrygroup level may also be caused by a marked change in
gross hours for a component industry where little or
no overtime was worked in both the previous and cur
rent months. In addition, such factors as stoppages,
absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same
influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
Gross Average Weekly Earnings in Current and
These series indicate changes in the level of
weekly earnings before and after adjustment for
changes in purchasing power as determined from the
BLS Consumer Price Index.
A-vsragfr M s& kr. Saatoff
Net spendable average weekly earnings in current
dollars are obtained by deducting Federal social se
curity 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, net spendable earnings have been computed
for two types of income receivers: (1 ) a worker with
no dependents; and (2) a worker with three depend
ents*
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.
Net spendable weekly earnings in 1947-49 dollars
represent an approximate measure of changes in "real"
net spendable weekly earnings. "Real”earnings are
computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index
into the spendable earnings average for the current
month. The resulting level of spendable earnings ex
pressed in 1947-49 dollars is thus adjusted for
changes in purchasing power since that base period.
Average Hourly Eamlnga. Excluding (Vertlme. of
Production Workers in Manufacturing Industries
These data are based on the application of adjust
ment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as de
scribed in the Monthly Labor Review. May 1950, pp. 537540; reprint available, Serial No. R. 2020). This
method eliminates only the earnings due to overtime
paid for at one and one-half times the straight-time
rates after 40 hours a week. Thus, no adjustment is
made for other premium-payment provisions— for
example, holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime
rates other than time and one-half.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly hfan-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours are pre
pared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1947-49 period. These aggre
gates represent the product of average weekly hours
and employment«
The aggregate man-hours are defined as total manhours for which pay was received by full- and parttime production or construction workers, including
hours paid for holidays, sick leave, and vacations
taken. The man-hours are for 1 week of the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month, and may not be
typical of the entire month.
Railroad Hours and Earnings
The figures for Class I railroads (excluding
switching and terminal companies) are based upon month
ly data summarized in the M-300 report of the Inter
state 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* Because
hours and earnings data for manufacturing and other
nonmanufacturing industries are based upon reports to
the BLS 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 industry information shown in this publication.
STATISTICS F O R
STATES A N D
AREAS
State and area employmsnt, hours, and earnings
statistics are collected and prepared by State
agencies in cooperation with the BLS. These sta
tistics are based on the same establishment reports
used by the BLS for preparing national estimates.
State employment series are adjusted to benchmark
data from State unengxLoyment insurance agencies
and the Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance.
Because son» 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 BLS.
Additional industry detail may be obtainable
from the cooperating State agencies listed on the
inside back cover of this report.
NOTE: Additional information concerning the preparation
of the employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover
series-— concepts and scope, survey methods, and reliability
and limitations-- is contained in technical notes for each
of these series, available from BLS free of charge. For all

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 aft
er being hired and unauthorized absences of more
than 7 consecutive calendar days are also clas
sified as quits. Prior to 1940, miscellaneous
separations were also Included in this category*
t h atthargea are terminations of employment during
the calendar month inltltated by the engsloyer for
such reasons as employees' Incompetence, violation
of rules, dishonesty, insubordination, laziness,
habitual absenteeism, or inability to meet physical
standards*
layoffs are terminations of employment during the
calendar month lasting or expected to last more than
7 consecutive calendar days -without pay, initi
ated by the employer without prejudice to the work
er, for such reasons as lack of orders or materials,
release of temporary help, conversion of plant, in
troduction of labor-saving machinery or processes,
or suspensions of operations without pay durii^
inventory periods.
ESTABLISHMENT - "A single physical location where busi
ness is conducted or where services or industrial
operations are performed; for example, a factory,
mill, store, mine, or farm* Where a single physical
location comprises two or more units which maintain
separate payroll and inventory records and which are
engaged In distinct or separate activities for which
different Industry classifications are provided in
the Standard Industrial Classification, each unit
shall be treated as a separate establishment* An
establishment is not necessarily Identical with the
business concern or firm which may consist of one
or more establishments. It is also to be distin
guished from organizational subunits, departments,
or divisions within an establishment.n (Standard
Industrial Classification Manual, U. S. Bureau of
the Budget, Vol* I, Part I, p. 1, November 1945* )
Persons on leave of absence (paid or unpaid)
with the approval of the eaployer are not counted as
separations until such time as it is definitely de
termined 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*

establishments operating In the fields of finance
(banks, security dealers, loan agencies, holding com
panies, and other finance agencies); insurance (in
surance carriers and independent agents and bro
kers); and real estate (real estate owners, including
Accessions are the total number of permanent and
temporary additions to the employment roll during
the calendar month, including both new and rehired
employees. Persons returning to work after a layoff,
military separations, or other absences who have been
counted as separations are considered accessions.
Mlao.allAnamia aengratlona (Including military)
are terminations of employment during the calendar
month because of permanent disability, death, re
tirement on company pension, and entrance into the
Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 consecu
tive calendar days* Prior to I?2j0, miscellaneous

in the mechanical or chemical transformation of in
organic or organic substances into new products and
usually described as plants, factories, or mills,
which characteristically use power-driven machines
and materials-handling equipment. Establishments
