Employment and Unemployment
Developments, October 1979
The overall employment situation was characterized
by mixed developments in October. Unemployment rose,
and the two sample surveys showed different movements
in employment. The Nation's unemployment rate increased
from 5.8 percent in September to 6.0 percent in October,
the same as it was in August. The rate thus remained
at the top of the 5.6 to 6.0 range that has prevailed for
the past 14 months.
Total employment—as measured by the monthly survey of households—edged down by 220,000 in October
to 97.3 million. Employment had expanded substantially
in September and was up by 2.1 million over the year.
In contrast, nonfarm payroll employment—as measured
by the monthly survey of establishments—rose by about
300,000 to 90.2 million in October, following 2 months
of little growth. The number of payroll jobs has advanced
by 2.8 million since October 1978.
Unemployment
The number of unemployed persons rose by nearly
200,000 in October to 6.2 million, with most of the increase occurring among persons who had lost their jobs.
The overall unemployment rate moved up from 5.8 percent
in September to 6.0 percent, the same as the August
rate and close to the rates prevailing since August of 1978.
(See tables A-33 and A-39.)
Over-the-month increases in unemployment occurred
among adult women and blacks, as their jobless rates rose
to 5.8 and 11.7 percent, respectively. The increase among
women reversed a decline of comparable magnitude in September. In contrast, the unemployment rate for adult men,
at 4.3 percent, was little changed from September, though
it was up four-tenths of a percentage point from the MayJune level. Likewise, jobless rates for most other major
worker categories, including teenagers, whites, and fulltime workers, were about the same as in the previous
month. (See table A-36.)
Total Employment and the Labor Force
Total employment edged down by 220,000 in October
to 97.3* million. Movements in employment have been
somewhat erratic in recent months; the October level
was not much different than July. The employmentpopulation ratio was 59.2 percent in October, down 0.2
percentage point from September. Over the past year,
total employment has advanced by 2.1 million; all of this
increase took place among adults.
The civilian labor force held at 103.5 million in October,
as the over-the-month increase in unemployment was
offset by the decline of about equal magnitude in employment. Since October 1978, the civilian labor force
has risen by 2.4 million, but growth has slowed considerably since March, totaling only 760,000.
The civilian labor force participation rate, at 63.7
percent, returned to its August level after hitting an alltime high of 63.9 percent in September. Over the year,
labor force participation has increased by 0.4 percentage
point, due entirely to continued gains in adult female
participation.
Industry Payroll Employment
Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 305,000 in
October to 90.2 million, following negligible increases
in each of the prior 2 months. Payroll employment has
advanced by 2.8 million over the past year. (See table
B-4.)
Service-producing industries accounted for virtually
all of the employment gain, with wholesale and retail
trade and services registering the largest absolute increases.
Transportation and public utilities and finance, insurance, and real estate also posted gains, while government
employment was about unchanged.
Employment in the goods-producing sector was little
changed from September. Jobs in construction increased
30,000 while employment in mining was unchanged.
Overall manufacturing employment was essentially the
same as in September, as declines in durable goods about
offset gain in nondurable goods. Within the durable goods
industries, transportation equipment jobs fell by 55,000
in October. Most of this decline probably occurred in the
summer months but was not apparent at that time because
of problems of seasonally adjusting auto model changeover. Strike activity was responsible for a drop of 40,000
in machinery. Among the nondurable goods industries,
job gains were scattered, with the largest taking place in
food
processing
and
printing
and
publishing.
Hours
The average workweek of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonagricultural payrolls was
35.5 hours in October, down 0.2 hour from September.
Declines took place in every industry division except
manufacturing. Manufacturing hours, at 40.1, have shown
little change since May but were down 0.4 hour over the
past year. Factory overtime, at 3.2 hours, was also unchanged from September. (See table C-7.)
The index of aggregate weekly hours was unchanged
in October at 125.9 (1967=100). The index was up 2.4
percent over the year, due entirely to employment gains.
The manufacturing index was little changed both over
the month and from a year earlier. (See table C-8.)
Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls edged up 0.3
percent in October (seasonally adjusted) and were 7.5
percent above October 1978. Average weekly earnings
declined 0.2 percent over the month but were up 6.6
percent from October 1978.
Before adjustment for seasonality, average hourly
earnings rose 1 cent from September to $6.31, 44 cents
above October 1978. Average weekly earnings were
$224.64 in October, down 90 cents from September
but up $13.91 over the year. (See tables C-1 and C-9.)
The Hourly Earnings Index
The Hourly Earnings Index—earnings adjusted for
overtime in manufacturing, seasonality, and the effects
of changes in the proportion of workers in high-wage
and low-wage industries—was 234.9 (1967=100) in October, 0.3 percent higher than in September. The index
was 7.7 percent above October a year ago. During the 12month period ended in September, the Hourly Earnings
Index in dollars of constant purchasing power decreased
3.7 percent. (See table C-9.)

Vietnam-era veterans are those who served between August 5, 1964 and May 1975.
Nonveterans are males who have never served in the Armed Forces. Published data are limited
to those 25-39 years of age, the group that most closely corresponds to the bulk of the Vietnam-era
veteran population.

The unadjusted data are shown because the seasonal component is small relative to the trend-cycle
and/or irregular components and consequently cannot be separated with sufficient precision.
NOTE: In accordance with usual practice, BLS has revised establishment survey data
to reflect a new benchmark and updated seasonal adjustment factors. Because of these
revisions, establishment data in this table may differ from data published earlier. See
article in the October issue for additional information, and the November Supplement for
revised data.

NOTE: In accordance with usual practice, BLS has revised establishment survey data
to reflect a new benchmark and updated seasonal adjustment factors. Because of these
revisions, data beginning in 1974 may differ from data published earlier. See article in the

Explanatory Notes
These explanatory notes provide information on the concepts, methodology, and scope of Household Data
(A tables), Establishment Data (B, C, and D tables), and State and Area Unemployment Data (E table) published in Employment and Earnings.
Introduction
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from two major
sources: (1) Household interviews, and (2) reports from employers.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from a sample
survey of the population 16 years of age and over. The survey is
conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau
of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive data on the labor
force, the employed and the unemployed, including such characteristics as age, sex, race, family relationship, marital status, occupation, and industry attachment. The survey also provides data on the
characteristics and past work experience of those not in the labor
force. The information is collected by trained interviewers from a
sample of about 56,000 households, representing 6 1 4 areas in
1,113 counties and independent cities, with coverage in 5 0 States
and the District of Columbia. The data collected are based on the
activity or status reported for the calendar week including the 12th
of the month.
Data based on establishment records are compiled each month
from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in
cooperation with State agencies. The establishment survey is designed to provide industry information on n onagri culture I wage
and salary employment, average weekly hours, average hourly
and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the Nation, States, and
metropolitan areas. The employment, hours, and earnings series
are based on payroll reports from a sample of establishments employing over 3 0 million nonagricultural 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.
Based on a somewhat smaller sample, labor turnover data relate to
actions occurring during the entire month.
R E L A T I O N BETWEEN T H E H O U S E H O L D A N D
ESTABLISHMENT SERIES
The household and establishment 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 major factors which have a differential effect on levels and
trends of the two series are as follows.
126
Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and other
private household workers), self-employed persons, and unpaid
workers who worked 15 hours or more during the survey week
in family-operated enterprises. Employment in both agricultural
and nonagricultural industries is included. The payroll survey
covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of nonagricultural 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 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, even if they were not paid by their employers for the time off. In the figures based on payroll reports,
persons on leave paid for by the company are included, but not
those on leave without pay for the entire payroll period.
For a comprehensive discussion of the differences between
household and establishment survey employment data, see Gloria P.
Green's article "Comparing Employment Estimates from Household
and Payroll Surveys," Monthly Labor Review, December 1969. Reprints of this article are available upon request from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics.
Hours of work
The household survey measures hours actually worked whereas
the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers. In the
household survey data, all persons with a job but not at work are
excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of
average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on paid vacation,
paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid during the reporting period.
COMPARABILITY OF THE HOUSEHOLD
DATA WITH OTHER SERIES
C O M P A R A B I L I T Y OF THE P A Y R O L L EMPLOYMENT
D A T A W I T H OTHER SERIES
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from the
household survey includes all persons who did not have a job 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 Employment and Training Administration 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, domestic service, self-employment,
unpaid family work, and religious organizations). Beginning in
January 1978, coverage was extended to include domestic workers
whose employers paid $1,000 or more in wages in any calendar
quarter, agricultural employees whose employers engaged 10 or
more workers in 20 weeks or paid a total of $20,000 or more in
wages in any calendar quarter, and almost all State and local
government employees.
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.
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 auxililiary 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 professional services, public
utilities, and financial establishments, whereas these are included in
BLS statistics.
For an examination of the similarities and differences between
State insured unemployment and total unemployment, see "Measuring Total and State Insured Unemployment" by Gloria P. Green
in the June 1971 issue of the Monthly Labor Review. Reprints of
this article may be obtained upon request.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of
persons under 16 in the Statistical Research Service (SRS) series
and the treatment of dual jobholders who are counted more than
once if they work on more than one farm during the reporting
period. There are also wide differences in sampling techniques and
collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be readily measured
in terms of impact on differences in level and trend of the two series.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business Patterns (CBP),
published by the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce, 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.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance programs.
Most nonagricultural wage and salary workers are covered by the
unemployment insurance programs. Beginning in January 1972,
coverage was expanded to include employees of small firms and
selected nonprofit activities who had not been covered previously.
However, certain activities, such as interstate railroads, parochial
schools, and churches are not covered by unemployment insurance
whereas these are included in BLS establishment statistics. Beginning
in January 1978, coverage was extended to include domestic workers
whose employers paid $1,000 or more in wages in any calendar
quarter, agricultural employees whose employers engaged 10 or
more workers in 20 weeks or paid a total of $20,000 or more in
wages in any calendar quarter, and almost all State and local
government employees.
Household data
(A tables)
COLLECTION A N D COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population, the
personal, occupational, and other characteristics of the employed,
the unemployed and persons not in the labor force, and related 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 Labor Force Statistics
Derived from the Current Population Survey, BLS Report 463. This
report is available from BLS upon request.
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a
scientifically selected sample designed to represent the civilian
noninstitutional population. Respondents are interviewed to obtain
information about the employment status of each member of the
household 16 years of age and over. Separate statistics are also
collected and published for 14 and 15 year olds. 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.
Inmates of institutions, members of the Armed Forces, and
persons under 14 years of age are not covered in the regular monthly
enumerations and are excluded from the population and labor force
statistics shown in this report. Data on members of the Armed
Forces, who are included as part of the categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from
the Department of Defense.
Each month, 56,000 occupied units are eligible for interview.
About 2,500 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 56,000 occupied units, there are 9,500 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 three-fourths of the
sample to be common from 1 month to the next and one-half
to be common with the same month a year earlier.
Beginning in September 1975, the sample was enlarged by 9,000
127
households in order to provide greater reliability for smaller States
and thus permit the publication of annual statistics for all 50
States and the District of Columbia. These supplementary households were added to the national 47,000 household sample in
January 1978.
CONCEPTS
Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during the survey
week did any work at all as paid employees, in their own business,
profession, or farm, or who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid
workers in an enterprise operated by a member of the family, and
(b) all those who were not working but who had jobs or businesses
from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad
weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or personal reasons,
whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off,
and whether or not they were seeking other jobs.
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.
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
during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job within the past 4 weeks, and who were available for work during the
survey week (except for temporary illness). Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all, were available for work,
and 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.
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. For persons
on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of full
weeks since the termination of their most recent employment. A
period of 2 weeks or more during which a person was employed
or ceased looking for work is considered to break the continuity of
the present period of seeking work. Measurements of mean and
median duration are computed from a distribution of single weeks of
unemployment.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment are divided
into four major groups. (1) Job losers are persons whose employment
ended involuntarily who immediately began looking for work and
persons on layoff. (2) Job leavers are persons who quit or otherwise
terminated their employment voluntarily and immediately began
looking for work. (3) Reentrants are persons who previously worked
at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer but were out of the labor
force prior to beginning to look for work, (4) New entrants are
persons who never worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer.
Jobseekers are all unemployed persons who made specific
efforts to find a job, sometime during the 4-week period preceding
the survey week. Jobseekers do not include persons unemployed
because they (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. Jobseekers are grouped by the methods
used to seek work, including going to public or private employment
agency or to an employer directly, seeking assistance from friends
or relatives, placing or answering ads, or utilizing some "other"
method. Examples of the "other" category include being on a union
or professional register, obtaining assistance from a community
organization, or waiting at a designated pick-up point.
The civilian labor force comprises the total of all civilians
classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria
128
described above. The "total labor force" also includes members of
the Armed Forces stationed either in the United States or abroad.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as
a percent of the civilian labor force. This measure can also be computed for groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital
status, race,etc. The job-loser, job-leaver, reentrant, and new entrant
rates are each calculated as a percent of the civilian labor force; the
sum of the rates for the four groups thus equals the total unemployment rate.
Participation rates represent the proportion of the noninstitutional population that is in the labor force. Two types of participation rates are published. The total labor force participation rate,
which is the ratio of the total labor force and the total noninstitutional population; and the civilian labor force participation rate,
which is the ratio of the civilian labor force and the civilian noninstitutional population. Participation rates are usually published
for sex-age groups, often cross-classified by other demographic
characteristics such as race and educational attainment.
Employment-population ratios represent the proportion of the
total noninstitutional population that is employed. This measure
can also be computed as a ratio of employment and the civilian
noninstitutional population.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 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.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous work experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for a job at the time
of interview, and reasons for not looking for work are compiled on
a quarterly basis. As of January 1970, the detailed questions for
persons not in the labor force are asked only in those households
that are in the fourth and eighth months of the sample, i.e., the
"outgoing" groups, those which had been in the sample for 3 previous months and would not be in for the subsequent month. Between 1967 and 1969, the detailed not-in-labor force questions
were asked of persons in the first and fifth months in the sample,
i.e., the "incoming" groups.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the employed
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 unemployed are
classified according to their last full-time civilian job lasting 2 weeks
or more. The occupation and industry groups used in data derived
from the CPS household interveiws are defined as in the 1970
Census of Population. Information on the detailed categories included in these groups is available upon request.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salary workers," subdivided into private and government workers, "selfemployed 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 government unit. Selfemployed 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.
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 Columbus Day
holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even though he was
paid for the holiday.
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.
The distribution of employment by hours worked relate to
persons "at work" during the survey week. At work data differ
from data on total employment because the latter include persons
in zero-hour worked category, "with a job but not at work." Included in this latter group are persons who were on vacation, ill,
involved in a labor dispute, or otherwise absent from their jobs for
voluntary, noneconomic reasons.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey week are
designated as working "full time," persons who worked between
1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part time." Part-time
workers are classified by their usual status at their present job
(either full time or part time) and by their reason for working part
time during the survey week (economic or other reasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material shortages, repairs
to plant or equipment, start or termination of job during the week,
and inability to find full-time work. "Other reasons" include:
Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of
home, housework, school, no desire for full-time work, and fulltime worker only during peak season. Persons on full-time schedules
include, in addition to those working 35 hours or more, those who
worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomic reasons and usually work
full time.
Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor force consists of
persons working on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily working part time (part time for economic reasons), and unemployed
persons seeking full-time jobs. The part-time labor force consists
of persons working part time voluntarily and unemployed persons
seeking part-time work. Persons with a job but not at work during
the survey week are classified according to whether they usually
work full or part time.
Labor force time lost is a measure of aggregate hours lost to the
economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed as a percent of potentially available
aggregate hours. It is computed by assuming: (1) That unemployed
persons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours,
(2) that those looking for part-time work lost the average number
of hours actually worked by voluntary part-time workers during
the survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for economic
reasons lost the difference between 37.5 hours and the actual
number of hours they worked.
Race. White and black and other are terms used to describe the
race of workers. The black and other category, which until recently
had been identified as "Negro and other races" and prior to 1969
as "nonwhite," includes all persons who identified themselves In the
enumeration process to be other than white. At the time of the
1970 Census of Population, 89 percent of the black and other population group were black; the remainder were American Indians,
Alaskan Natives, Asian and Pacific Islanders, and all other "nonwhite" groups. The term "black" is used in this volume when the
relevant data are provided exclusively for the black population.
Hispanic origin refers to persons who identified themselves in
the enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto Rican living on the
mainland, Cuban, Central or South American or other Hispanic
origin or descent. According to the 1970 Census, approximately
96 percent of their population is white.
Major activity: going to school and major activity: other are
terms used to describe whether the activity of young persons during
the reference week are primarily one of going to school or not.
Statistics on major activity are published every month in table
A-7 for 16-21 year-olds by employment status, race, and sex, and,
if unemployed, whether s'eeking full- or part-time work.
Vietnam-era veterans are those who served in the Armed Forces
of the United States between August 5, 1964, and May 7, 1975.
Tables for veterans in this volume are limited to males in the civilian
noninstitutional population; i.e., veterans in institutions and females
are excluded.
Nonveterans are males who never served in the Armed Forces.
Poverty areas classification consists of all Census geographical
divisions in which 20 percent or more of the residents were poor
according to the 1970 Decennial Census. Persons were classified as
poor or nonpoor by using income thresholds adopted by a Federal
interagency committee in 1969. These thresholds vary by family
size, composition, and residence (farm-nonfarm). While poverty
areas have a substantial concentration of low-income residents,
many poor persons live outside these areas and, conversely, the
areas include many people who are not poor.
The metropolitan areas classification consists of the total of all
areas encompassed by Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA's). The metropolitan area total is based on the number of
SMSA's as defined in the 1970 Decennial Census and does not include any subsequent additions or changes. Nonmetropolitan areas
refer to the total of all areas outside SMSA's. The nonmetropolitan
total is disaggregated into farm and nonfarm components.
HISTORIC COMPARABILITY
Raised lower age limit
Beginning with data for 1967, the lower age limit for official
statistics on persons in the labor force was raised from 14 to 16
years. At the same time, several definitions were sharpened to clear
up ambiguities. The principal definitional changes were: (1) Counting as unemployed only persons who were currently available for
work and who had engaged in some specific jobseeking activity
within the past 4 weeks, an exception to the latter condition is made
for persons waiting to start a new job in 30 days or waiting to be
recalled from layoff; in the past, the current availability test was not
applied and the time period for jobseeking was ambiguous;
(2) counting as employed persons who were absent from their
jobs in the survey week because of strikes, bad weather, etc. and
were also looking for other jobs; previously, these persons had
been classified as unemployed; (3) sharpening the questions on
hours of work, duration of unemployment, and self-employment
in order to increase their reliability.
These changes did not affect the unemployment rate by more
than one-fifth of a percentage point in either direction, although
the distribution of unemployment by sex was affected. The number
of employed was reduced about 1 million because of the exclusion
of 14- and 15-year-olds. For persons 16 years and over, the only
employment series appreciably affected were those relating to hours
of work and class of worker; A detailed discussion of the changes
and their effect on the various series is contained in "New Definitions for Employment and Unemployment" by Robert L. Stein in
the February 1967 issue of Employment and Earnings and MonthlyReport on the Labor Force. Reprints may be obtained upon request.
Noncomparability of labor force levels
Before the changes introduced in 1967, the labor force data
were not comparable for three earlier periods: (1) Beginning 1953,
as a result of the introduction of data from the 1950 census into
the estimation 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 totals
and males; other categories were relatively unaffected; (2) beginning
1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii resulted in an increase of
about 500,000 in the population and about 300,000 in the labor
force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment; other
labor force categories were not appreciably affected; (3) beginning
1962, the introduction of figures from the 1960 census reduced
the population by about 50,000, labor force and employment by
about 200,000; unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.
129
In addition, beginning 1972, information from the 1970 census was
introduced into the estimation procedures, producing an increase in
the civilian noninstitutional population of about 800,000; labor force
and employment totals were raised by a little more than 300,000,
and unemployment levels and rates were essentially unchanged. A
subsequent population adjustment based on the 1970 census was
introduced in March 1973. This adjustment affected the white and
black and other groups but had little effect on totals. The adjustment resulted in the reduction of nearly 300,000 in the white
population and an increase of the same magnitude in the black and
other population. Civilian labor force and total employment figures
were affected to a lesser degree; the white labor force was reduced
by 150,000, and the black and other labor force rose by about
210,000. Unemployment levels and rates were not significantly
affected.
Beginning in January 1974, the methodology used to prepare
independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutional population
was modified to an "inflation-deflation" approach. This change
in the derivation of the population estimates had its greatest impact
on estimates of 20-24 year-old males—particularly those of the black
and other population—but had little effect on 16 and over totals.
Additional information on the adjustment procedure appears in
"CPS Population Controls Derived from Inflation-Deflation Method
of Estimation" in the February 1974 issue of Employment and
Earnings.
Effective July 1975,asa result of the immigration of Vietnamese
refugees into the United States, the total and black-and-other independent population controls for persons 16 years and over were
adjusted upward by 76,000-30,000 males and 46,000 females. The
addition of the refugees increased the black-and-other population by
less than 1 percent in any age-sex group, and all of the changes were
in the "other" population.
Beginning in 1978, the introduction of an expansion of the sample
and revisions in the estimation procedures resulted in an increase of
roughly a quarter of a million in the overall civilian labor force and
employment totals; unemployment levels and rates were essentially
unchanged. An explanation of the procedural changes and an
indication of the differences appear in "Revisions in the Current
Population Survey in January 1978" in the February 1978 issue of
Employment and Earnings.
Beginning in October 1978, the race of the individual was determined by the household respondent for the incoming rotation
group households, rather than determined by the interviewer as
before. The purpose of this change is to provide more accurate estimates of characteristics by race. Thus, in October 1978, one-eighth
of the sample households has race determined by the household
respondent and seven-eighths of the sample households has race
determined by interviewer observation. The corresponding numbers
are 2/8 and 6/8 in November 1978, 3/8 and 5/8 in December 1978,
4/8 and 4/8 from January 1979 through September 1979, 5/8 and
3/8 in October 1979, and so on, until the entire sample has race
determined by the household respondent in January 1980. Although the impact of this change is presently unknown, it is possible
that it will cause a break in the time series given for some
racial statistics.
Beginning in 1979, the first stage ratio estimation method was
changed in the CPS estimation procedure. The new procedure is
described in the Estimating Methods section. The reasoning behind
the change and an indication of the differences appear in "Revisions
in the Current Population Survey in January 1979" in the February
issue of Employment and Earnings. Differences between the old and
new procedures exist only for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan
estimates, not for the total U.S.
130
Changes in occupational classification system
Beginning with 1971, the comparability of occupational employment data was affected as a result of changes in census occupational classifications introduced into the Current Population
Survey (CPS). These changes stemmed from an exhaustive review
of the classification system to be used for the 1970 Census of Population. This review, the most comprehensive since the 1940 census,
was to reduce the size of large groups, to be more specific about
general and "not elsewhere classified" groups, and to provide information on emerging significant occupations. Differences in
March 1970 employment levels tabulated on both the 1960 and
1970 classification systems ranged from a drop of 650,000 in
operatives to an increase of 570*000 in service workers, much of
which resulted from a shift between these two groups; the nonfarm laborers group increased by 420,000, and changes in other
groups amounted to 220,000 or less.
An additional major group was created by splitting the operatives category into two: operatives, except transport, and transport
equipment operatives. Separate data for these two groups first became available in January 1972. At the same time, several changes in
titles, as well as in order of presentatibn, were introduced; for
example, the title of the managers, officials, and proprietors group
was changed to "managers and administrators, except farm," since
only proprietors performing managerial duties are included in the
category.
Apart from the effects of revisions in the occupation classification system beginning in 1971, comparability of occupational employment data was further affected in December 1971, when a
question eliciting information on major activities or duties was
added to the monthly CPS questionnaire in order to determine
more precisely the occupational classification of individuals. This
change resulted in several dramatic occupational shifts, particularly
from managers and administrators to other groups. Thus, meaningful comparisons of occupational levels cannot always be made
for 1972 and subsequent years with earlier periods. However, revisions in the occupational classification system as well as in the
CPS questionnaire are believed to have had but a negligible impact
on unemployment rates.
Additional information on changes in the occupational classification system of the CPS appears in "Revisions in Occupational
Classifications for 1971" and "Revisions in the Current Population
Survey" in the February 1971 and February 1972 issues, respectively,
of Employment and Earnings.
Changes in sample design
Since the inception of the survey, there have been various
changes in the design of the CPS sample. Most of these changes
were made in order to improve the efficiency of the sample
design and/or to increase the reliability of the sample estimates.
One major change made after every decennial census is to change
the sample design to make use of the recently collected census
materials. Also, occasionally the sample is expanded in terms of
number of sample areas and number of sample persons. In 1953, a
rotation plan was introduced in which a sample unit would be interviewed for 4 months, leave the sample for eight months, and
then return to the sample for another 4 months. When Alaska and
Hawaii achieved statehood, three more sample areas were added to
the sample to account for the population in these States. After the
1960 census, selection of a major portion of the sample from
census address lists was begun, though a portion of the sample is
still collected using area sampling. Following the 1970 census, the
ultimate sampling unit was changed from a non-contiguous cluster
of six housing units to a usually contiguous cluster of four housing
units. A recent change was introduced in January 1978, when a supplemental sample of housing units, selected in 24 States and the
District of Columbia and designed to provide more reliable annual

design. A coverage improvement sample was included in computing the estimates beginning in October 1978 in order to provide
coverage of mobile homes and new construction housing units that
previously had no chance for selection in the CPS sample. This
sample is composed of approximately 450 sample household units
which represent 237,000 occupied mobile homes and 600,000 new
construction housing units. These new construction units are composed of those units where building permits were issued prior to
January 1970 and construction was not completed by the time of
the 1970 Census (i.e., April 1970). The extent of other sources of
housing undercoverage is unknown but believed to be small. The
inclusion of this coverage improvement sample in the CPS does not
have a significant effect on the estimates.
The following table provides a description of some aspects of
the CPS sample c'esign in use during the referenced data collection
periods. For a more detailed account of the history of the CPS
sample design, see The Current Population Survey: Design and
Methodology, U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census,
Technical Paper No. 40, or Concepts and Methods used in Labor
Force Statistics Derived from the Current Population Survey,
BLS Report 463.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Under the estimating 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.
The CPS estimation procedure involves weighting the data
from each sample person. The basic weight, which is the inverse of
the probability of the person being in the sample, is a rough measure of the number of actual persons that the sample person
represents. In States supplemented in the 1978 expansion, almost
all sample persons within the same sample area have the same
basic weight, but the weight may differ across sample areas. The
basic weight is the same for almost all sample persons in unsupplemented States. The basic weights are then adjusted for noninterview,
and the ratio estimation procedure is applied.

Three sample areas were added in 1960 to represent Alaska
and Hawaii after statehood.
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 of
the respondent for other reasons. This adjustment is made separately
by combinations of sample areas within each State and the District
of Columbia, and within these, for six groups—two race categories
(white, and black and other) within three residence categories. For
sample areas which are Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA's), these residence categories are the central cities, and the
urban and the rural balance of the SMSA's. For other sample
areas, the residence categories are urban, rural nonfarm, and
rural farm. The proportion of sample households not interviewed
varies from 3 to 5 percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for
the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, from that of the
population as a whole, in such characteristics as age, race, sex, and
residence. Since these 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:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. In the CPS, a portion of the 614
sample areas are chosen to represent other areas not in the sample;
the remainder of the sample areas represent only themselves. The
first-stage ratio estimation procedure was designed to reduce the portion of the variance resulting from requiring sample areas to represent nonsample areas. Therefore, this procedure is not applied to
sample areas which represent only themselves. The procedure is
performed at two geographic levels: First, by the four census regions (Northeast, North Central, South and West), and secondly,
for each of the 46 States which contains nonsample areas. The
procedure corrects for the differences that existed at the time of
the 1970 census between the distribution by race and residence of
the population in the sample areas and the known race-residence
distribution in the portions of the census region or State represented by these areas. The regional adjustment is performed by
131
metropolitan-nonmetropolitan residence and race, while the State
adjustment is done by urban-rural status and race.
and components to the nearest thousand. Differences, however,
are insignificant.
Reliability of the estimates
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this stage, tne sample proportion
in the categories described below are adjusted to the distribution of
independent current estimates of the population in the same
categories. The second-stage ratio estimate is done in order to increase the reliability of the estimates and is done in three steps. In
the first step, the sample estimates are adjusted within each State
and the District of Columbia to an independent control for the
population 16 years and over for the State. The second step involves "nonwhite" persons only, and is an adjustment to in;dependent estimates of 40-age-sex-race categories across the whole
Nation. (The race categories used are black and other minority
.races.) The third adjustment is applied to all sample persons
and is a weighting to nationwide independent population estimates within 68 age-sex<ace groups. The entire second-stage ratio
estimation procedure is iterated six times, each time beginning
at the weights developed the previous time. This iteration ensures
that the sample estimates both of State population and of national
age-sex-race categories, will be virtually equal to the independent
population estimates.
The independent controls by State for the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years and over are an arithmetic extrapolation
of the trend in the growth of this segment of the population from
the April 1 , 1970 census through the latest available July 1 estimate,
adjusted as a last step to a current estimate of the U.S. population
of this group. State estimates by age for July 1 are published
annually in Current Population Reports, Series P-25. For a description of the methodology used in developing the State total, see
Report 640 of that series. Descriptions of the age estimates
methodology are available on request from the Chief of the
Population Division, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Washington,
D.C. 20233.
Prior to January 1974, the independent national controls used
for the age-sex-race groups in both the second and third steps
of the second-stage ratio estimation procedure were prepared
by carrying forward the most recent census data (1970) after taking
account of subsequent aging of the population, births, deaths, and
migration between the United States and other countries. Beginning
in 1974, the "inflation-deflation" method of deriving independent
population controls was introduced into the CPS estimation procedures. These independent controls are prepared by inflating the
most recent census counts to include the estimated net census under count by age, sex, and race, aging this population forward to each
subsequent month and later age by adding births and net migration,
and subtracting deaths. Th
post-censal population estimates are
then "deflated" to census I
I to reflect the pattern of net undercount in the most recent ct sus by age, sex, and race. The actual
percent change over time in the population in any age group is
preserved.
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. Almost all estimates of month-to-month change
are improved by this procedure, and most estimates of levels are
also improved, but to a lesser extent.
Rounding of estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals
shown in the same tables because of independent rounding of totals
132
There are two types of errors possible in an estimate based on a
sample survey—sampling and nonsampling. The standard errors
provided primarily indicate the magnitude of the sampling error.
They also partially measure the effect of some nonsampling errors
in response and enumeration but do not measure any systematic
biases in the data.
Nonsampling errors. The full extent of nonsampling error is
unknown, but special studies have been conducted to qualify some
sources of nonsampling error in the CPS as discussed below. The
effect of nonsampling error should be small on estimates of relative
change, such as month-to-month change. Estimates of monthly
levels would be more severely affected by the nonsampling error.
Nonsampling errors in surveys can be attributed to many sources,
e.g., inability to obtain information about all cases in the sample,
definitional difficulties, differences in the interpretation of questions, inability or unwillingness of respondents to provide correct
information, inability to recall information, errors made in collection such as in recording or coding the data, errors made in processing the data, errors made in estimating values for missing data,
and failure to represent all sample households and all persons
within sample households (undercoverage).
Nonsampling errors occurring in the interview phase of the
survey have been studied by means of a reinterview program.
This program is used to estimate various sources of error as well
as to evaluate and control the work of the interviewers. A random
sample of each interviewer's work is inspected through reinterview
at regular intervals. The results indicate, among other things, that
the data published from the CPS are subject to moderate systematic
biases. A description of the CPS reinterview program and some of the
other results may be found in the Current Population Survey
Reeinterview Program, January 1961 through December
1966,
Technical Paper No. 19. U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau
of the Census.
The effects of some components of nonsampling error in the
CPS data can be examined as a result of the rotation plan used
for the sample, since the level of the estimates vary by rotation
group, A description of these effects appears in the article "The
Effects of Rotation Group Bias on Estimates from Panel Surveys,"
by Barbara A. Bailer, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Volume 70, No, 349, March 1975.
Undercoverage in the CPS results from missed housing units and
missed persons within sample households. Overall undercoverage, as
compared to the level of the decennial census, is about 5 percent. It
is known that the CPS undercoverage varies with age, sex, and race.
Generally, undercoverage is larger for males than for females and
larger for black and other races than for whites. Ratio estimation
to independent age-sex-race population controls, as described previously, partially corrects for the biases due to survey undercoverage. However, biases exist in the estimates to the extent that
missed persons in missed households or missed persons in interviewed households have different characteristics than interviewed
persons in the same age-sex-race group. Further, the independent
population controls used have not been adjusted for undercoverage
in the 1970 census, which was estimated at 2.5 percent of the
population, with differentials by age, sex, and race similar to those
observed in the CPS.
Additional information on nonsampling error in the CPS appear
in An Error Profile: Employment as Measured by the Current Population Survey, by Camilla Brooks and Barbara Bailar, Statistical
Policy Working Paper 3, U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of
Federal Statistical Policy and Standards; in the paper "The Current
Population Survey: An Overview," by Marvin Thompson and Gary
Shapiro, Annals of Economic and Social Measurement, Vol. 2,
No. 2, April 1973; and in The Current Population Survey, Design
and Methodology, Technical Paper No. 40, U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of the Census. This last document includes
a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of various sources of
errors, and describes attempts to measure them in the CPS.
Sampling error. The standard error is primarily a measure of
sampling variability, that is, of the variation that occurs by chance
because a sample rather than the entire population is surveyed. The
sample estimate and its estimated standard error enables one to
construct confidence intervals, ranges that would include the
average of all possible samples with a known probability. For
example, if all possible samples were selected, each of these surveyed under essentially the same general conditions and using
the same sample design, and an estimate and its estimated error
were calculated from each sample, then:
1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals from the one
standard error or below the estimate to one standard error
above the estimate would include the average result of all
possible sample.
error for estimated changes from one month to the next is more
closely related to the monthly level for the characteristic than to
the size of the specific month-to-month change itself. Thus, in
order to use the generalized standard errors for month-to-month
change as given in the tables of standard errors, it is necessary to
obtain the monthly estimate for the characteristic. It should be
noted that the tables of standard errors for month-to-month change
apply only to estimates of change between two consecutive months.
Estimates of change for nonconsecutive months are subject to
higher standard errors. Table I contains factors for use with tables
C, E, G and H to compute approximate standard errors, as described
below, for levels, labor force participation rates and percentages as
pertaining to year-to-year change of monthly estimates, quarterly
averages, changes in quarterly averages, yearly averages, and changes
in yearly averages. Note, that standard errors for changes in quarterly and yearly estimates apply only to consecutive quarters and
years. For years prior to 1967, the standard errors must be adjusted
due to the differences in the sample »ize. For years prior to 1956,
the standard errors should be multiplied by 1.50 and for the
1956-1966 period they should be multiplied by 1.22.

2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.6 standard errors below the estimate to 1.6 standard errors above the
estimate would include the average of all possible samples.
3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from 2 standard
errors below the estimate to 2 standard errors above the
estimate would include the average result of all possible
samples.
In order to derive standard errors that would be applicable to a
large number of estimates and could be prepared at a moderate cost,
a number of approximations were required. First, the standard
errors in this report reflect the sample design and estimation
procedure in effect prior to the expansion for annual average
State estimates, Thus, these standard errors mav slightly overstate the standard errors applicable to the present design. Secondly,
instead of computing an individual standard error for each estimate,
generalized sets of standard errors were computed for various
types of characteristics. This generalization yields more stable
estimates of the standard errors. Consequently, the sets of
standard errors provided give an indication of the order of
magnitude of the standard error of an estimate rather than the
precise standard error.
Tables A and B show approximate standard errors for major
employment status characteristics for both monthly estimates
and for changes for consecutive months. These standard errors are
applicable to the level of the estimates in recent months.
Tables C through G provide generalized standard errors for
monthly level and month-to-month change for estimated totals,
unemployment rates, and percentages. Table H contains factors
for use with table G for computing standard errors, as described
below, for monthly level and month-to-month change for percentages. Standard errors for intermediate values not shown in the
tables may be approximated by linear interpolation. The standard

Standard errors for estimated totals. Tables C and D provide
generalized standard errors for monthly totals and for month-tomonth change. The figures given in these tables are to be used for
the characteristics as indicated.
Illustration. Assume that the tables showed that the number of
persons working a specific number of hours was 12,000,000, an
increase of 400,000 over the previous month. Linear interpolation
in the second column of table C shows that the standard error on
an estimate of 12,000,000 is about 150,000. The 6 8 percent confidence interval as shown by these data is from 11,850,000 to
12,150,000. Therefore, a conclusion that the average estimate
derived from all possible samples lies within a range computed in
this way would be correct for roughly 58 percent of al) possible
samples. Recall that the standard error of a month-to-month change
is primarily dependent on the size of the monthly estimate. Thus,
using linear interpolation in column one of table D the standard
error on a month-to-month change of 400,000 when the monthly
level is approximately 12,000,000 is about 111,000.
Standard errors for rates and percentages. The reliability of an
estimated unemployment rate or an estimated percentage, computed using sample data for both numerator and denominator,
depends on both the size of the rate or percentage and the total
upon which the rate or percentage is based. Estimated rates and
percentages are relatively more reliable than the corresponding
estimates of the numerator of the rates or percentages; this is
particularly true for percentages of 50 percent or more. As a
general rule, percentages are not published when the monthly
base is less than 75,000 or the annual average base is less than
35,000.
Tables E and F shows generalized standard errors for monthly
level and month-to-month change for unemployment rates.
Generalized standard errors for estimated monthly percentages
and estimated month-to-month change in percentages can be
obtained through the use of the standard errors in table G and
the factors in table H. First obtain the standard error from table
G for the specific percentage and base. The generalized standard
error is then calculated by multiplying the standard error from
table G by the appropriate factor from table H. When the
numerator and denominator of the percentage are in different
categories, use the factor indicated by the numerator of the
percentage.
134
Illustration. For example, assume that the tables show tnat
3.6 percent of a total of 90,771,000 employed persons are employed in agriculture. First the standard error on an estimate of
3.6 percent with a base of 90,771,000 is obtained from table G
(0.09 percent). The appropriate factor from table H for the numerator of the percentage, agriculture employment, is 1.26. The
generalized standard error on the estimated 3.6 percent is then
approximately 0.09 x 1.26 = 0.1 percent.
Standard errors for year-to-year change of monthly estimates,
quarterly averages, changes in quarterly averages, yearly averages
and changes in yearly averages. The approximate standard errors of
levels, rates and percentage involving year-to-year change of monthly
estimates, quarterly averages, changes in quarterly averages, yearly
averages and changes in yearly averages may be obtained by using
table 1 in conjunction with the other tables. Standard errors for estimates of change are more closely related to the level of the estimate
than to the size of the specific change. Thus to obtain the standard
error of an estimate of an average level, rate or percentage, or an estimate of a change in level, rate or percentage it is first necessary to
find the appropriate estimate of level. For an estimate of an average
level, rate or percentage, find the standard error of this estimate. For
an estimate of change in level, rate or percentage, find the standard
error of the average of the two estimates affecting the change. Then,
after computing the standard error by treating these estimates as
monthly estimates and using the procedures above, multiply this
result by a suitable factor from table I to obtain the approximate
standard error for the average or change.
Illustration. For an example, suppose that one is interested in
the year-to-year change of a monthly unemployment rate. Let us
assume that the tables show that for a certain month the unemployment rate is 6.9 percent based on a total of 95,676,000 in
the civilian labor force, and that a year prior to this the unemployment rate was 6.1 percent based on a total of 94,254,000 in
the civilian labor force for the month. First, the standard error
on the average of the two estimates, 6.5 percent with a base of
94,965,000, is obtained from table E (0.11 percent). The appropriate factor then from table I is 1.40. The approximate standard
error on the change of 0.8 percent is then given by 0.11x1.40 s
0.15 percent.

Establishment data
(B, C, and D tables)
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage and salary
employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonagricultural
establishments, by industry and geographic location.
Federal-State cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, the respondent fills out a single employment or labor turnover reporting form, 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 comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments and examine
the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The
States use the information to prepare State and area series
and then send the establishment data to the BLS (Washington
Office) for use in preparing the national series.
Shuttle schedules
Two types of data collection schedules are used: Form BLS
790—Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours; and Form
1219-Month I y Report on Labor Turnover. The collection agency
returns the schedule to the respondent each month so that the
next month's data can be entered on the space allotted for that
month. This "shuttle" procedure assures maximum comparability
and accuracy of reporting, since the respondent can see the figures
that have been reported for previous months.
Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of fulland part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments and, for most industries, payroll and hours of production
and related workers or nonsupervisory workers for the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month. Form DL 1219 provides for
the collection of information on the total number of accessions and
separations, by type, during the calendar month.
CONCEPTS
Industrial classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and Form DL 1219
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 a supplement to the
monthly 790 or 1219 report. For an establishment making more
than one product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire
employment of the establishment is included under the industry
indicated by the principal product or activity.
All data on employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover
for the Nation and for most States and areas are classified in accordance with the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification Manual
(SICM), Office of Management and Budget.
Industry employment
Employment data, except those for 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.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid volunteer
or family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations are included. Government
employment covers only civilian employees, military personnel are
excluded. Employees of the Central Intelligence and National
Security Agencies are also excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls 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 even
though they 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 have not been paid during the
period.
Industry hours and earnings
Average hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and hours for production and related workers in manufacturing and mining, construction workers in construction, and
nonsupervisory employees in the remaining private nonagricultural components. For Federal Government, hours and earnings
relate to all employees, both supervisory and nonsupervisory.
Terms are defined below. When the pay period reported \s longer
than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weekly basis.
Production and related workers include working supervisors
and all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders and trainees)
engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving,
storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance,
repair, janitorial and guard services, product development, auxiliary
production for plants own use (e.g., power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely associated with the above
production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees in the
construction division: Working supervisors, qualified craft workers, mechanics, apprentices, laborers, etc., whether working at
the site of construction or in shops or yards, at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling) ordinarily performed by members of
the construction trades.
Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not above the
working supervisory level) such as office and clerical workers,
repairers, salespersons, operators, drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social workers, research aides, teachers, drafters,
photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant workers, custodial
workers, attendants, line installers and repairers, laborers, janitors,
guards, and other employees at similar occupational levels whose
services are closely associated with those of the employees listed.
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
the pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), tips, and the value
of free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded.
"Fringe benefits" (such as health and other types of insurance,
contributions to retirement, etc. paid by the employer) are also
excluded.
Hours cover the hours paid for, during the pay period which
139
includes the 12th of the month, for production, construction, or
nonsupervisory workers. Included are hours paid for holidays and
vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly from
the firm.
Overtime hours cover hours worked by production or related
workers for which overtime premiums were paid because the hours
were in excess of the number of hours of either the straight-time
workday or the workweek during the pay period which includes the
12th of the month. Weekend and holiday hours are included only
if overtime premiums were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums
were paid are excluded.
Gross average hourly and weekly earnings. Average hourly earnings are on a "gross" basis. They reflect 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. They also reflect
shifts in the number of employees between relatively high-paid
and low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual
establishments. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect
changes in average hourly earnings for individual industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings
are the actual return to the worker for a stated period of time; rates
are the amount stipulated for a given unit of work or time. The
earnings series does not measure the level of total labor costs on
the part of the employer since the following are excluded: Irregular
bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various welfare benefits,
payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees
not covered under the production worker, construction 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 changes in gross average hourly
earnings but also by changes in the length of the workweek. Monthly
variations in such factors as proportion of part-time workers,
stoppages for varying reasons, labor turnover during the survey
period, and absenteeism for which employees are not paid may
cause the average workweek to fluctuate.
Long-term trends of gross average weekly earnings can be
affected by structural changes in the makeup of the work force.
For example, persistent long-term increases in the proportion of
part-time workers in retail trade and many of the services industries
have reduced average workweeks in these industries and have
affected the average weekly earnings series.
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 unpaid 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.
Average overtime hours. The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross average weekly hours which exceeded regular
hours and for which overtime premiums were paid. If an employee
were to work on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total
compensation his holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours
worked that day, no overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, gross
weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the
same direction from month-to-month; for example, overtime 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
140
industry-group level also may be caused by a marked change in
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.
Railroads hours and earnings. 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 except executives, officials,
and staff assistants (ICC group I) who received pay during the month.
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 average weekly earnings.
The amount of income tax liability depends on the number of
dependents supported by the worker, the worker's marital status,
and level of gross income. To reflect these variables, the Bureau
calculates two sets of spendable earnings series based on the assumptions that the worker earned the gross average weekly earnings and was taxed at the rates applicable to either (1) a worker
with no dependents, or (2) a married worker with three dependents
who files a joint return. The computations are based on gross average weekly earnings for all production or nonsupervisory workers in
the industry division excluding other income and income earned by
other family members.
The series reflects the spendable earnings of only those workers,
with no dependents or three dependents, whose gross weekly pay
approximates the average earnings indicated for all production and
nonsupervisory workers. It does not reflect, for example, the average earnings of all married workers with three dependents; such
workers, in fact have higher gross average earnings than workers
with no dependents.
Since part-time as well as full-time workers are included, and
since the proportion of part-time workers has been rising, the
series understates the increase in earnings for full-time workers.
As noted, "fringe benefits" are not included in the earnings.
For a more complete discussion of the uses and limitations of
these series, see the article by Paul M. Schwab, "Two Measures
of Purchasing Power Contrasted," in the Monthly Labor Review
for April 1971. Reprints of this article are available upon request
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"Real" earnings or earnings in constant dollars, are computed
by dividing the earnings averages for the current month by the
Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers (CPI-W), and then multiplying by 100. "Real" earnings for
months prior to January 1978 are deflated by the unrevised
CPI-W, whereas those for January 1978 forward are deflated by the
revised CPI-W. This is done for gross average weekly earnings and
for spendable average weekly earnings. The level of earnings is thus
adjusted for changes in the purchasing power of the dollar since the
base period (1967).
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime. Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay are computed by dividing
the total production-worker payroll for the industry group by the
sum of total production-worker hours and one-half of total overtime hours. Prior to January 1956, these data were based on the
application of adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings
(as described in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540).
Both methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for
at 1 Vz times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other
premium payment provisions, such as holiday work, late-shift work,
and overtime rates other than time and one-half.
Indexes of aggregate weekly
payrolls and hours. The indexes
of aggregate weekly payrolls and hours are prepared by dividing the
current month's aggregate by the monthly average for the 1967
period. The hour aggregates are the product of average weekly
hours and production-worker or nonsupervisory-worker employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of hour aggregates
and average hourly earnings. At all higher levels of aggregation,
hour and payroll aggregates are the sum of the component aggregates.
Indexes of diffusion of changes in number of employees on nonagricultural payrolls. These indexes measure the percent of industries which posted increases in employment over the specified
time span. The indexes are calculated from 172 unpublished
seasonally adjusted employment series (two-digit nonmanufacturing
industries and three-digit manufacturing industries) covering all
nonagricultural payroll employment in the private sector. A more
detailed discussion of these indexes appears in "Introduction of
Diffusion Indexes," in the December 1974 issue of Employment
and Earnings.
Labor turnover
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and salary workers into and out of employed status with respect to individual
establishments. This movement, which relates to a calendar month,
is divided into two broad types: Accessions (new hires and rehires)
and separations (terminations of employment initiated by either
employer or employee). Each type of action is cumulated for a
calendar month and expressed as a rate per 100 employees. The
date 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.
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.
Recalls are permanent or temporary additions to the employment roll of persons specifically recalled to a job in the same
establishment of the company following a period of layoff lasting
more than 7 consecutive days. (The collection of recalls, as a
separate item, began January 1976.)
the person has been absent more than 7 consecutive calendar
days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last
more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by the employer
without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately but are
included in total separations, are terminations of employment
because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement,
transfers to another establishment of the company, and entrance
into the Armed Forces for a period expected to last more than
30 consecutive calendar days.
Relationship of labor turnover to employment series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing
industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with
the changes shown in the Bureau's employment series for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for
the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay
period 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.
ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate 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 size and regional stratification.
The "link relative" technique
From a sample composed of establishments reporting for both
the previous and current months, the ratio of current month employment to that of the previous month is computed. This is
called a "link relative." 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." In addition, small
bias correction factors are applied to selected employment estimates each month. The size of the bias correction factors is
determined from past experience. Other features of the general
procedures are described in table J. Summary of methods for
computing industry statistics on employment, hours, earnings,
and labor turnover.
Size and regional stratification
Other accessions are all additions to the employment roll which
are not classified as new hires or recalls. These include transfers
from other establishments of the company and former employees
returning from military leave or other absences without pay who
have been counted as separations. Data on other accessions are not
published separately but are included in total accessions.
Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar
month and are classified according to cause: Quits, layoffs, and
other separations are defined as follows:
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by employees,
failure to report after being hired (if counted as new hires previously), and unauthorized absences, if on the last day of the month
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, may be a whole industry or a
size stratum, a region stratum, or a size stratum of a region within
an industry.
Benchmark adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically with comprehensive counts of employment which provide "benchmarks"

The estimates result from multiplying the product shown by
business birth adjustment factors to compensate for the under
representation of newly formed enterprises in the sample.
Tha sample production-worker ratio, women-worker ratio,
avarafa waakly hours, average overtime hours, and average hourly
earnings ara modified by a wedging technique designed to com-
for the various nonagricultural industries, and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The industry estimates are currtntly projected from March 1978 levels. Normally, benchmark
adjustments are made annually.
The primary sources of benchmark information are employment
data, by industry, compiled quarterly by State agencies from reports
of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws.
These tabulations cover nearly nine-tenths of the total nonagricultural
employment in the United States. Benchmark data for the residual
are obtained from the records of the Social Security Administration,
the Interstate Commerce Commission, and a number of other
agencies in private industry or government.
The estimates for the benchmark month are compared with new
benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary,
the monthly series of estimates between benchmark periods are adjusted at levels 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; the sample is used to measure the month-tomonth changes in the level. A comparison of the actual amounts
of revisions made at the time of the March 1978 benchmark adjustment is shown in table K.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which the
series has been adjusted are subject to revision. Revised data are
published as soon as possible after each benchmark revision.
THE SAMPLE
Desi§n
The sampling plan used in the current employment statistics
program is known as "sampling proportionate to average size of
establishment." This design is an optimum allocation design among
strata since the sampling variance is proportional to the average size
of establishments. Under this type of design, large establishments
fall into the sample with certainty. The size of the sample for the
various industries is determined empirically on the basis of experience and of cost considerations. In a manufacturing industry in
pensate for changes in the sample arising mainly from the voluntary
character of the reporting. The wedging procedure accepts the advantage of continuity from the use of the matched sample, and at
the same time, tapers or wedges the estimate toward the level of
the latest sample average.

which a high proportion of total employment is concentrated in
relatively few establishments, a large percentage of total employment is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample design for
such industries provides for a complete census of the large establishments with only a few chosen from among the smaller establishments or none at all if the concentration of employment is great
enough. On the other hand, in an industry in which a large proportion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample
design calls for inclusion of all large establishments and also for a
substantial number of the small ones. Many industries in the trade
and services divisions fall into this category. To keep the sample to
a size which can be handled by available resources, it is necessary
to design samples for these industries with a smaller proportion of
universe employment than is the case for most manufacturing industries. Since individual establishmentsJn these nonmanufacturing
143
divisions generally show less fluctuations from regular cyclical or
seasonal patterns than do establishments in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples (in terms of employment) generally
produce reliable estimates.
In the context of the BLS employment and labor turnover
statistics programs, 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.
Coverage
' The BLS sample of establishment employment and payrolls
is the largest monthly sampling operation in the field of social
statistics. Table L 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. Table M shows the approximate coverage,
in terms of employment, of the labor turnover sample.
Reliability of the employment estimates
Although the relatively large size of the BLS establishment
sample assures a high degree of accuracy, the estimates derived
from it may differ from the figures that would be obtained
if it were possible to take a complete census using the same
schedules and procedures. As discussed under the previous section,
a "link relative" technique is used to estimate employment. This
requires the use of the previous month's estimate as the base
in computing the current month's estimate. Thus, small sampling
and response errors may cumulate over several months. To remove
this accumulated error, the estimates are usually adjusted annually
to new benchmarks. In addition to taking account of sampling and
response errors, the benchmark revision adjusts the estimates for
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). In fact, at the more detailed industry levels, particularly
within manufacturing, changes in classification are the major cause
of benchmark adjustments. Another cause of differences arises from
improvements in the quality of the benchmark data. Table N presents the average percent revisions of the five most recent benchmarks (excluding the March 1973 adjustment) for major industry
divisions. Detailed descriptions of individual benchmark revisions
are available from the Bureau upon request.
The hours and earnings estimates for cells are not subject
to benchmark revisions, although the broader groupings may be
affected slightly by changes in employment weights. The hours
and earnings estimates, however, are subject to sampling errors
which may be expressed as relative errors of the estimates. (A
relative error is a standard error expressed as a percent of
the estimate.) Relative errors for major industries are presented
in table N and for individual industries with the specified number of employees in table O. The chances are about 2 out of
3 that the hours and earnings estimates from the sample would
differ by a smaller percentage than the relative error from
the averages that would have been obtained from a complete
census.
One measure of the reliability of the employment estimates
for individual industries is the root-mean-square error (RMSE).
The measure is the standard deviation adjusted for the bias in
estimates
144
V (Standard Deviation)2 + (Bias)2
If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate
from the sample would differ from its benchmark by less than
the root-mean-square error. The chances are about 19 out of 20
that the difference would be less than twice the root-mean-square
error.
Approximations of the root-mean-square errors (based on the
most recent benchmark revisions) of differences between final
estimates and benchmarks are presented in table O.
For the two most recent months, estimates of employment,
hours, and earnings are preliminary and are so footnoted in the
tables. These figures are based on less than the total sample
and are revised when all the reports in the sample have been reTable L. Approximate size and coverage of BLS

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 BLSO 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
(usually the May issue). 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.
145
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) in a
summary volume published annually by the BLS.
PRODUCTIVITY DATA
Tables C-10, C-11, and C-12 are compiled by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics from establishment data and from estimates of
compensation and Gross National Product supplied by the U.S.
Department of Commerce and the Federal Reserve Board.
Definition
Hours of wage and salary workers in nonagricultural establishments refer to hours paid for all employees—production workers, nonsupervisory workers, and salaried workers.
Output is the constant dollar market value of final goods and
services produced in a given period. Indexes of output per hour of
labor input, or labor productivity, measure changes in the volume
of goods and services produced per unit of labor.
Compensation per hour includes wages and salaries of employees
plus employers' contributions for social insurance and private bene-
fit plans. The data also include an estimate of wages, salaries, and
supplementary payment for the self-employed, except for nonfinancial corporations, in which there are no self-employed.
Real compensation per hour is compensation per hour adjusted
to eliminate the effect of changes in the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).
Unit labor costs measure the labor compensation cost required
to produce one unit of output and are derived by dividing compensation per hour by output per hour. Unit nonlabor payments
include profits, depreciation, interest, and indirect taxes per unit
of output. They are computed by subtracting compensation of all
persons from the current dollar gross national product and dividing
by output, in these tables, unit nonlabor costs contain all the
components of unit nonlabor payments except unit profits. Unit
profits
include corporate profits and inventory valuation adjust-
ments per unit of output.
The implicit price deflator is derived by dividing the current
dollar estimate of gross product by the constant dollar estimate,
making the deflator, in effect, a price index for gross product of
the sector reported.
Notes on the data
For the private business sector and the nonfarm business sector,
these indexes relate to the Gross Domestic Product less households
and institutions, owner-occupied housing, and statistical discrepancy.
For the nonfinancial corporate sector, the indexes refer to the Gross
Domestic Product of nonfinancial corporate business.
Manufacturing data have been revised to reflect revisions in the
Federal Reserve Board Index of Industrial Production. Output data
are supplied by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department
of Commerce, and the Federal Reserve Board. Quarterly measures
have been adjusted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to annual
estimates of output (gross product originating) from the Bureau
of Economic Analysis. Compensation and hour data are from the
Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Labor force and unemployment estimates for States, labor market areas (LMA's), and other areas covered under Federal assistance
programs are developed by State employment security agencies
under a Federal-State cooperative program. The local unemploy, ment estimates which are derived from standardized procedures
developed by BLS are the basis for determining eligibility of an
area for benefits under Federal programs such as the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act, the Public Work Employment Act and the Public Works and Economic Development Act.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Labor force and unemployment in 10 large States: New York,
California, Illinois, Ohio, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Texas, Massachusetts, and Florida; and two areas: Los AngelesLong Beach metropolitan area and New York City, are sufficiently
146
reliable to be used directly from the CPS. For a description of
the CPS concepts see "Explanatory note A, Household Data," above.
Monthly employment and unemployment estimates in the remaining 40 States and 205 labor market areas are prepared in
several stages.
1 .Preliminary estimate—Employment: The total employment estimate is based primarily on data from the survey of establishments
which produces an estimate of payroll employment. This place-ofwork estimate must be adjusted to refer to place of residence as
used in the CPSS Factors for adjusting from place of work to place
of residence have been developed for the major categories of employment by class of worker and industry on the basis of employment relationships which existed at the time of the 1970 Decennial
Census. These factors are applied to the payroll employment estimates for the current period to obtain adjusted employment
estimateSo
2. Preliminary estimate-Unemployment: In the current month, the
estimate of unemployment is an aggregate of the estimates for each
of three building block categories: (1) Persons who were previously
employed in industries covered by State Ul laws; (2) those previously employed in industries not covered by these laws; and
(3) those who were either entering the labor force of the first time
or reentering after a period of separation. This is referred to below,
as the Ul-based estimate.
An estimate for those previously employed in covered industries is derived from a count of current unemployment insurance
claimants, plus estimates of claimants whose benefits have been
exhausted, those persons disqualified from receiving benefits for
nonmonetary reasons (because they quit, were discharged for
cause, etc., but would otherwise have been eligible), and persons
who either filed claims late, or not at all.
The estimate of those previously employed in industries not
covered by Ul is derived by applying to the employment estimate
for each non-covered industry or class of worker subgroup in the
State, the ratio of covered unemployment to covered employment,
weighted by factors reflecting national historical relationships.
For the third category, new entrants and reentrants into the
labor force, a composite estimate is developed from equations that
relate the total entrants into the labor force to the experienced
unemployed and the experienced labor force. For each month, the
estimate of entrants into the labor force is a function of: (a) the
month of the year; (b) the level of the experienced unemployed;
(c) the level of the experienced labor force; and (d) proportion of
the working age population that is considered "youth." The composite estimate of total entrants is defined as:
1>A(X+E) + BX, Where
U=total entrant unemployment
E=total employment
X=total experienced unemployment
A,B=synthetic factors incorporating seasonal variation and
an assumed relationship between the proportion of
youths in the working population and the historical
relationship of entrants to the experienced unemployed
(B factor) or the experienced labor force (A factor).
3. Correction factors for employment and unemployment are then
applied at the State level to the Ul-based estimates obtained above
for each of the 40 States and the District of Columbia. These
correction factors are based on the ratio of the CPS to the Ul-based
estimates for the six month period ending in the current month
(e.g. a 6-month moving average).
4. Substate adjustment for additivity. Independent estimates of
employment and unemployment are prepared both for the State
(obtained directly from the CPS in the 10 large States or by the
Ul-based method in the remaining States), and labor market areas
(LMA's) within the State. The total labor force included in the
LMA's exhaust the geographic boundaries of the State. A proportional adjustment is applied to all substate LMA estimates to ensure
that the substate estimates of employment and unemployment add
to the independent State totals. In California and New York, which
also have substate areas taken directly from the CPS, the additivity
adjustment for the remaining areas is applied to the State total
minus the direct CPS area.
5. Benchmark correction procedures. Once each year monthly estimates prepared by State employment security agencies using
Ul-based estimating procedures are adjusted, or benchmarked,
by BLS to the annual average CPS estimates for the 40 States
for which monthly CPS estimates are not available. This adjustment is necessary because the State-prepared estimates are
not as reliable as the CPS annual averages due to differences
in State Ul laws, the structural limitations of the Ul-based estimating
method, and errors in the Ul data.
The benchmarked estimates are produced in three stages. First,
the monthly Ul-based estimates are adjusted by the ratio of the
CPS to the Ul-based annual averages. Second, the difference
between the ratio of annual averages for two consecutive years is
wedged into the monthly estimates in order to minimize the disturbance to the original series. Finally, the second-stage estimates
are forced into agreement with CPS annual averages, in the 10
States which use CPS estimates monthly, no benchmark correction
is required, as the average of the 12 monthly State CPS estimates
will equal the CPS annual averages.
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 programs used for these series are an
adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method. They
provide for "moving" adjustment factors to take account of
changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description of the methods
is given in the two publications, BLS Seasonal Factor Method
(1966) and X-11 Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal
Adjustment Program, Technical Paper No. 15, Bureau of the
Census (1967).
Data for the household series are seasonally adjusted utilizing
the Census Bureau's X-11 Method. Each January, seasonal adjustment factors for unemployment and other labor force series are
revised to take into account data from the previous year. In
January 1976, in addition to the routine annual revisions, the
Bureau introduced a modification in the procedure for seasonally
147
adjusting teenage unemployment and those few other unemployment series (e.g., unemployed new entrants) of which teenagers
are the exclusive or major part. In January 1978, modifications were
introduced in the procedure for seasonally adjusting teenage
nonagricultural employment, a number of other teenage employment series, and adult male unemployment.
All civilian labor force and unemployment rate statistics, as
well as the major employment and unemployment estimates, are
computed by aggregating independently adjusted series. For example, for each of the three major labor force componentsagricultural e m p l o y m e n t , nonagricultural e m p l o y m e n t and
unemployment—data for four sex-age groups (males and females
under and over 20 years of age) are separately adjusted for seasonal
variation and are then added to derive seasonally adjusted total
figures. In order to provide seasonally adjusted total employment
and civilian labor force estimates, the appropriate series are
aggregated. The unemployment rate for all civilian workers is
derived by dividing the estimate for total unemployment (the
sum of 4 seasonally adjusted sex-age components) by the civilian
labor force (the sum of 12 seasonally adjusted sex-age components).
Revised seasonally adjusted series for major components of the
labor force based on data through December 1978, new seasonal
factors for the 12 major components of the civilian labor force,
and a description of the seasonal adjustment methodology are
published in the February 1979 Employment and Earnings. Many
additional series, which are either components or aggregates of the
jseries presented, are available from the BLS upon request.
For establishment data, seasonally adjusted series for all employees, women employees, production workers, hours, and earnings, are computed using the BLS Seasonal Factor Method. Seasonal adjustment factors are directly applied to the component
levels. Seasonally adjusted totals for most of these series are then
obtained by taking a weighted average of the seasonally adjusted
data for the component series. Seasonally adjusted average weekly
earnings are the product of seasonally adjusted average hourly
earnings and seasonally adjusted weekly hours. Average weekly earnings in constant dollars, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by dividing average weekly earnings, seasonally adjusted, by the seasonally
adjusted revised Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners
and Clerical Workers (revised CPI-W), and multiplying by 100.
Indexes of aggregate weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained
by multiplying average weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production or nonsupervisory workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing by the 1967 base. For total private, total goods-producing, total
private service-producing, trade, manufacturing, and durable and
nondurable goods industries, the indexes of aggregate weekly hours,
seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggregate weekly
hours, seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate component industries
and dividing by the 1967 base.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal Government are based on a series which excludes the Christmas temporary
help employed by the Postal Service 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 Postal Service. Hence, it was considered desirable to exclude
this group from the data upon which the seasonlly adjusted series is
based.
For labor turnover rates, seasonal adjustment factors are applied
directly to the component series. These series are then aggregated to
obtain total levels (total accessions and total separations). These
factors are derived by the Census X-11 Method using the trading day
option. As a result, these series are adjusted for the number of times
each day of the week occurs in a given month, as well as for the
month of the year.
The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishment data
reflect experience through June 1979. Seasonal factors to be used
for current adjustment appear in the October 1979 issue of Employment and Earnings.

earnings, and labor turnover series—concepts and scope, survey methods, and limitationsis contained in the Handbook of Methods, BLS Bulletin 1910
