Employment and
Unemployment Developments,
September 1980

Employment rose slightly in September, and
unemployment edged down. The unemployment rate
was 7.5 percent in September, compared with 7.6 percent in August and 7.8 percent in July.
Total employment—as measured by the monthly
survey of households—was up by 200,000 to 97.2
million. Nonfarm payroll employment—as measured by
the monthly survey of establishments—also rose by
about 200,000 in September. The factory workweek increased for the second straight month.
Unemployment
The Nation's unemployment rate was 7.5 percent in
September, down from the rates that prevailed over the
May-July period. From August to September,
unemployment declined among adult women, whose
rate dropped 0.4 percentage point to 6.1 percent, and
teenagers, whose rate was down from 19.1 to 17.5 percent. The unemployment rate for adult men, in contrast, was about unchanged at 6.7 percent. The jobless
rate for white workers was down over the month to 6.5
percent, while the rate for black and other workers, at
14.2 percent, has fluctuated around 14 percent since
May. The unemployment rate for Hispanics continued
to edge up, reaching 11.3 percent. (See tables A-33 and
A-35.)
The rate for white-collar workers was unchanged over
the month, while there were improvements among bluecollar, service, and farm workers. Among the major industry divisions, unemployment rates for workers in
construction (16.5 percent) and agriculture (10.9 percent) fell substantially following large increases in the
previous month. (See table A-36.)
The number of persons unemployed declined by nearly 200,000 in September to 7.8 million. The number on
layoff increased but was still below the level registered
in the May-July period. The median duration of
joblessness, at 8.2 weeks, increased for the fourth
month in a row; there was a decrease in the number of
persons unemployed less than 5 weeks and an increase in
the other duration categories. (See tables A-37 and
A-39.)
Total employment and the labor force
Total employment rose by 200,000 in September to



97.2 million. An increase in agriculture accounted for
the gain, as employment in this industry did not register
the normal seasonal decline. (On a not seasonallyadjusted basis, agricultural employment was unchanged
over the month.) Although total employment has increased by 670,000 since June, this gain was insufficient
to offset the decline which took place during the first
half of 1980, leaving employment some 750,000 below
its February peak. Similarly, the employmentpopulation ratio was up slightly from June but, at 58.3
percent in September, was still a full point lower than in
February.
Contrasting over-the-month movements occurred
among the major demographic and occupational
groups. Teenage employment, which has exhibited considerable volatility over the past several months,
registered a substantial increase, rebounding to about its
July level. There was little August-September change in
total employment among adult men and women. Whitecollar employment fell, while there was an increase
among blue-collar workers following eight consecutive
monthly declines; employment among farm workers
also advanced. (See tables A-33 and A-42.)
The civilian labor force was unchanged in September
at 105.0 million. Over the past year, the labor force increased by 1.3 million, a substantially slower pace than
in recent years. Adult women accounted for most of the
year-to-year growth.
Discouraged workers
Discouraged workers are persons who report that
they want to work but are not looking for jobs because
they believe they cannot find any. Because they do not
meet the labor market test—that is, they are not engaged in active job search—they are classified as not in the
labor force rather than unemployed. Data for this group
are published quarterly. (See table A-53.)
The number of discouraged workers rose slightly in
the third quarter to 970,000. Although women and
blacks account for a disproportionately large share of
the discouraged, the over-the-quarter advance took
place among men and whites. About 70 percent of the
discouraged cited job-market factors as the reason for
their discouragement.

Industry payroll employment
The number of employees on nonagricultural
payrolls rose by 185,000 in September, the second consecutive monthly increase. The 2-month gain totaled
430,000, as payroll jobs reached 90.3 million, still
900,000 below the February peak. Growth was
widespread in both the goods- and service-producing
sectors, with more than 60 percent of the 172 industries
in the BLS diffusion index of private nonfarm employment registering over-the-month gains. (See tables B-4
and B-7.)
Manufacturing employment also rose for the second
month in a row. The September increase of 55,000
brought the factory employment total to 20 million, still
1 million below its year-ago level. Unlike August, nearly
all of the September increase occurred in the durable
goods sector. Gains were especially marked in primary
and fabricated metals and transportation equipment.
Only machinery posted a notable decline. Employment
gains in several of the nondurable industries, including a
pickup in rubber and plastic products, were offset by a
decrease of 30,000 in food processing.
Elsewhere in the goods-producing sector, construction employment rose by 45,000, while a slight increase
in mining was due entirely to strikers returning to their
jobs.
Employment in the service-producing sector continued the modest growth of recent months, as the
September total of 64.9 million exceeded its previous
peak reached in April. Growth was once again concentrated in retail trade (45,000) and services (80,000).
Federal government employment declined for the fifth
month in a row, as the 1980 Decennial Census collection
operation continued to be phased out.
Hours of work
The average workweek for production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls edged up

6




0.1 hour to 35.2 hours in September, following an increase of 0.2 hour in August. The workweek had declined fairly steadily from the beginning of the year through
July. The manufacturing workweek also rose 0.1 hour
in September (on top of a 0.4 hour increase in August),
while factory overtime was unchanged. (See table C-7.)
The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or
nonsupervisory wQrkers on private nonfarm payrolls
rose 0.6 percent in September to 123.7 (1967 = 100) as a
result of the rise in both employment and hours. The index was still 2.7 percent below its January peak. The
manufacturing index was up 0.9 percent over the
month. (See table C-8.)
Hourly and weekly earnings
Average hourly earnings of production or nonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls rose 0.4 percent over the month and 7.7 percent over the year
(seasonally adjusted). Average weekly earnings were up
0.7 percent from August and 6.5 percent from
September 1979.
Before adjustment for seasonality, average hourly
earnings rose 10 cents over the month to $6.77 and have
risen 47 cents over the year. Average weekly earnings
were $238.98, up $2.19 over the month and $13.44 over
the year. (See tables C-l 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 254.5 (1967 = 100) in
September, 0.4 percent higher than in August. The Index was 8.6 percent above September a year ago. In
dollar of constant purchasing power, the Index decreased 3.1 percent during the 12-month period ended in
August. (See table C-9.)

New Household Survey
Statistics on Weekly Earnings
*Earl F. Mellor

Quarterly publication of data which relate workers'
earnings to the families in which they live begins with
this issue of Employment and Earnings. The accompanying tables show the combined wage and salary earnings of all family members as well as the earnings of individual workers. Regular collection of these data from
the Current Population Survey (CPS) began in 1979.
New data series
Family earnings data are provided by type of family
(those in which there is a married couple, those maintained by women, and those maintained by men), the
number of earners, and the presence of unemployed
family members (tables 1 and 2). Earnings of individuals by sex, age, race, Hispanic origin, and family
relationship are provided separately for full- and parttime workers (tables 3 and 4). Earnings by occupation
and sex are shown for full-time workers only (table 5).
All of these tables show percent changes in earnings adjusted for changes in prices as measured by the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical
Workers (CPI-W). The CPI-W for the most recent
quarter is not available at the time Employment and
Earnings is published; hence it is necessary to lag the
publication of these tables by 1 quarter.
The family focus of these series is in keeping with the
heightened interest in such data as a result of increases
in families with more than one earner and in families
maintained by women. By relating information on earnings to the family circumstances in which people live,
the impact of employment and unemployment on
economic welfare can be better understood and
analyzed.
The new series is designed to respond to such questions as: How do earnings in families with a single
earner compare with those in which both the husband
and wife work? What are the earnings of families in
which either the husband or the wife is unemployed?
How do the earnings of .women compare with those of
men? And what are the earnings of black and Hispanic
workers compared with those of whites?
The tables provide some answers. For example, they
show that in the second quarter of 1980, median wage
and salary earnings were 72 percent higher in married


couple families with multiple earners than in those with
one earner. Median earnings of families with
unemployed husbands were $171 as contrasted with
$307 for families with unemployed wives. Among fulltime workers, women earned 63 percent as much as
men. As for blacks and Hispanics, their median earnings were about 80 percent of those of whites. The data
also show that, over the past year, gains in weekly earnings for wage and salary workers and their families
generally were outpaced by rising prices. Median weekly
family earnings rose from $372 in the second quarter of
1979 to $399 in the second quarter of 1980, an increase
of 7.4 percent, but the purchasing power of those earnings declined by 6.1 percent.
Comparability with related data
The new quarterly data are similar to, but not strictly
comparable with, May data on individual earnings
derived from the CPS over the 1967-78 period.1 For
detailed information on the differences between the new
and old series, see Technical Description of the Quarterly Data on Weekly Earnings from the Current Population Survey, Report 601 (Bureau of Labor Statistics,
July 1980).
Earnings data derived from the CPS cannot be directly compared with earnings data derived from the BLS
monthly survey of business establishments because of
differences in the universe and methodology. For example, the establishment survey is limited to production
workers in mining and manufacturing, construction
workers in the construction industry, and nonsupervisory workers in other private nonagricultural in-

Data from the old series were published in news releases, articles in the Monthly Labor Review, and Special Labor Force Reports. The most recent publication of these data was "Weekly and Hourly Earnings of U.S. Workers,
1967-78," by Janice Neipert Hedges and Earl F. Mellor, Monthly Labor Review,
August 1979, pp. 31-41. Information on the new earnings series has been
published in the following U.S. Department of Labor news releases: USDL
80-188, "New Data Relate Workers' Earnings to the Families in Which They
Live"(March 27, 1980); USDL 80-352, "Earnings of Workers and Their
Families: First Quarter 1980" (May 29, 1980); and USDL 80-540, "Earnings of
Workers and Their Families: Second Quarter 1980" (August 29, 1980).

dustries. In contrast, the CPS covers all wage and salary
workers. Another difference between the two surveys is
that CPS data are available as distributions and medians, while establishment survey data are available
only in terms of industry means.
Sampling variability
As is the case with data from any sample survey, the
new earnings series are subject to both sampling and

nonsampling errors. These two topics are covered in
detail in the Explanatory Notes of each issue of Employment and Earnings. Standard errors for earnings-related
items have different values than those shown for
employment and unemployment. Illustrative standard
errors for median earnings of persons and families are
shown in table 6 and standard errors for estimates of the
number of workers are shown in table J of the Explanatory Notes.

Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1959. This inclusion has resulted in an in- .
Tease of 212,000 (0.4 percent) in nonagricultural total for the March 1959 benchmark
nonth.

NOTE: The January through July 1980 issues contained erroneous data for "total
joods-producing" for 1969 and 1970, and "total service-producing" for 1920-71. Correcions have been made in this table.




p = preliminary.
NOTE: Data from April 1979 forward are subject to revision when more recent benchmark data are introduced. See "Benchmark adjustments" in the Explanatory notes of
this publication.

CONSUMER PRICE INDEX FOR URBAN WAGE
EARNERS AND CLERICAL WORKERS (CPI-W,
All items. 1967=100)

For coverage of series, see footnote 1, table B-2.
Spendable earnings are calculated by taking the average weekly pay for all production
or nonsupervisory jobs, both full-time and part-time, and then deducting social security and
Federal income taxes applicable to a single worker or to a married worker with three dependents who earned this amount (see Explanatory Notes for the establishment data in the back of
this publication). A technical note on the calculation and uses of the spendable earnings series
is available on request.

Explanatory Notes

Introduction
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from two major
sources: (1) Household interviews, and (2) reports from employers.

dustries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary
employees on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments.

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 65,000 households, representing 629 areas in 1,133
counties and independent cities, with coverage in SO 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.

Multiple job holding. 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 reports, persons who worked in more than one
establishment during the reporting period are counted each time their
names appear on payrolls.

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 nonagricultural 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 30 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 day of the month. Based on a somewhat
smaller sample, labor turnover data relate to actions occurring during
the entire month.

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 off work
RELATION BETWEEN THE HOUSEHOLD AND 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.
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 in


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, production or nonsupervisory employees
on paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included and
assigned the rmmber of hours for which they were paid during the
reporting period.
Earnings
The household survey measures median earnings of wage and salary
workers in all occupations and industries in both the private and
public sectors. Data refer to the usual earnings received from the
worker's sole or primary job. Data from the establishment survey
generally refer to mean earnings of production and related workers in
mining and manufacturing, construction workers in construction, and
nonsupervisory employees in private service-producing industries. For
a comprehensive discussion of the household survey earnings series,
see "Technical Description of the Quarterly Data on Weekly Earnings
from the Current Population Survey," BLS Report 601.

COMPARABILITY OF THE HOUSEHOLD DATA WITH OTHER
SERIES

COMPARABILITY OF THE PAYROLL EMPLOYMENT DATA
WITH 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, 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 (some workers in
agriculture, domestic services and religious organizations, selfemployed and unpaid family workers).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.
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

Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the Census. BLS
establishment statistics on employment differ from employment
counts derived by the Bureau of Census from its censuses or annual
sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of
business establishments. The major reasons for some noncomparability are different treatment of business units considered parts of an
establishment, such as central administrative offices and auxiliary
units, the industrial classification of establishments, and different
reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are also differences
in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Business excludes professional services, public utilities, and financial
establishments, whereas these are included in the BLS statistics.

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 the 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 AND 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.

158




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, however, obtained from the Department
of Defense.
Each month, 65,000 occupied units are eligible for interview. About
2,800 of these households are visited but interviews are not obtained
because the occupants are not at home after repeated calls or are
unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for
the survey of between 4 or 5 percent. In addition to the 65,000 occupied units, there are 12,000 sample units in an average month which
are visited but found to be vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated.
Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides
for 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
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.
Over the period November 1978 to April 1979 the sample was again
enlarged by 9,000 households. This was done to permit the publication
of reliable quarterly estimates for the 50 States and the District of Columbia. These supplementary households were added to the 56,000
household sample in January 1980.
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 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 (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.
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 fulltime 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 a 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 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, occupation, industry, 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 crossclassified by other demographic characteristics such as race and
educational attainment.
Employment-population ratios represent the proportion of the total
noninstitutional population that is employed.
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 the CPS 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. Self-employed persons
are those who work for profit or fees in their own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm. Unpaid family workers are persons
working without pay for 15 hours a week or more on a farm or in a
business operated by a member of the household to whom they are
related by blood or marriage.
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/she 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.

159

The distribution of employment by hours worked relates to persons
"at work" during the survey week. At-work data differ from data on
total employment because the latter include persons in the zero-hours
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," correspondingly 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 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 a 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 full-time worker
only during the peak season. Persons on full-time schedules include,
in addition to those working 35 hours or more, those who worked
from 1 to 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 parttime 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.
White and black and other are terms used to describe the race of
workers. The "black-and-other category," 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
primarily American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asian and Pacific
Islanders. 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 of other Hispanic
origin or descent. According to the 1970 Census of population, 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 is primarily one of going to school or not. Statistics on
major activity are published every month in table A-7 for 16 to
21-year-olds by employment status, race, and sex, and, if
unemployed, whether seeking 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.
The 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

160



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.
Usual weekly earnings data are provided from responses to the
question "How much does. . .USUALLY earn per week at this job
before deductions?" Included are any overtime pay, commissions, or
tips usually received. Data refer to the sole or primary job of wage and
salary workers. The term "usual" is as perceived by the respondent. If
the respondent asks for a definition of "usual," interviewers are instructed to define the term as more than half the weeks worked during
the past 4 or 5 months.
A household consists of all persons—related family members and
all unrelated persons—who occupy a housing unit. A house, an apartment, or other group of rooms, or a single room is regarded as a housing unit when it is occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters.
A householder is the person (or one of the persons) in whose name
the housing unit is owned or rented. The term is never applied to either
husbands or wives in married-couple-families, but only to persons in
families maintained by either men or women without a spouse.
Family refers to a group of two or more persons residing together
who are related by blood, marriage, or adoption; all such persons are
considered as members of one family even though they may include a
"subfamily," that is, a married couple or a parent-child group related
by blood or marriage to the householder and sharing the living
quarters. The counts of families used in this volume refer to primary
families only, that is, all persons in the household who are related to
the householder. Families are classified either as married-couple
families or as those maintained by women or men without spouses.
Data on the earnings of families exclude all those in which there is no
wage or salary earner or in which the husband, wife, or other persons
maintaining the family is either self-employed or in the Armed Forces.

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.
A detailed discussion of this and other definitional changes introduced
at that time, incuding estimates of 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 Monthly Report on the Labor Force. Reprints may be
obtained upon request.

Noncomparabllity of labor force levels
Before the changes introduced in 1967, the labor force data were
not comparable for three earlier periods: (1) Beginning in 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 in 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 in 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. In addition, beginning in 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 to 24-year-old males—particularly those of the blackand-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, as a 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 was to provide more accurate estimates of
characteristics by race. Thus, in October 1978, one-eighth of the sample households had race determined by the household respondent and
seven-eighths of the sample households had race determined by interviewer observation. It was not until January 1980 that the entire sample had race determined by the household respondent. The new procedure had no significant effect on the estimates.
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 "Change in
the Estimation Procedure for the Current Population Survey beginning in January 1979" in the February 1979 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.

Changes In the 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 presentation, 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 occupational 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 8 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. In January 1978, a supplemental sample of 9,000 housing units, selected in 24 States and the
District of Columbia and designed to provide more reliable annual
average estimates for States, was incorporated with the existing
design. A coverage improvement sample composed of approximately
450 sample household units which represent 237,000 occupied mobile
homes and 600,000 new construction housing units, 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. A recent
change was introduced in January 1980, when another supplemental

161

sample of 9,000 households selected in 32 States and the District of
Columbia to provide more reliable quarterly average estimates for
States, was added to the existing sample.
The following table provides a description of some aspects of the
CPS sample design in use during the different data collection periods.
For a more detailed account of the history of the CPS sample design,
see The Current Population Survey: Design and Methodology,
Technical Paper No. 40, Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of
Commerce, 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 and 1980 expansions, 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.
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 4 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 629 sample
areas is 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 second, 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 metropolitan-nonmetropolitan residence and
race, while the State adjustment is done by urban-rural status and
race.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this stage, the sample proportions
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 independent 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-race 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-sexrace categories, will be virtually equal to the independent population
estimates.

Three sample areas were added in 1960 to represent Alaska
and Hawaii after statehood.

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 undercount 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.
These post-censal population estimates are then "deflated" to census
level to reflect the pattern of net undercount in the most recent census
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 and components to the nearest thousand. Differences, however, are insignificant.

Reliability of the estimates
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 quantify 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 Reinterview Program,
January 1961 through December 1966, Technical Paper No. 19,
Bureau of the Census. U.S. Department of Commerce.
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 varies by rotation group. A description of these effects appears in the article "The Effects of Rotation
Group Bias on Estimates from Panel Sureys," by Barbara A. Bailar,
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 appears in
the paper, "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, April 1973; and in The Current Population Survey, Design and
Methodology, Technical Paper No. 40, Bureau of the Census, U.S.
Department of Commerce. This last document includes a comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of various sources of error, 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 enable 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 sample sample design, and an
estimate and its estimated error were calculated from each sample,
then:
1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals from one standard error below the estimate to one standard error above the estimate would
include the average result of all possible samples.
2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.6 standard errors below the estmate to 1.6 standard errors above the estimate would
include the average of all possile 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

163

this report reflect the sample design and estimation procedures in effect prior to the expansions for State estimates. Thus, these standard
errors may slightly overstate the standard errors applicable to the present design. Second, 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 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 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 withttables 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 size. For years prior to
1956, the standard errors should be multiplied by 1.50 and for the
1956-66 period they should by multiplied by 1.22. Table J provides
generalized standard errors for quarterly estimates of persons and
families for use with the CPS earnings data.
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 used for the
characteristics as indicated.
Illustration. Assume that in a given month 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 68 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
68 percent of all 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 the first column
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

164



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 show 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.
Illustration. For example, assume that in a given month 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 percentage point).
The appropriate factor from table H for the numerator of the percentage, agricultural employment, is 1.26. The generalized standard error

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 percentages 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 I 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 example, suppose that one is interested in the yearto-year change of a monthly unemployment rate. Let us assume 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 percentage point). 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 = 0.15 percentage point.
The approximate standard error of levels involving year-to-year
change of quarterly estimates pertaining to CPS earnings data for per-

sons and families may be obtained by using table J in conjunction with
the following formula:
Standard

where X is the estimate for one quarter and Y is the estimate for
another quarter. The coefficient, P, is a measure of the correlation
between the estimates X and Y resulting from the presence of some of
the same respondents in the sample for each estimate. For consecutive
year-to-year changes of quarterly estimates, the values of P are .30 for
persons (total, white, and black) and .35 for families (total, white, and
black). The respective values for estimates of Hispanics are .45
and .55.
Illustration:
Assume that in a given quarter the number of women employed as
full-time wage and salary workers was 27,000,000 and in the same
quarter a year later their number had increased to 29,000,000. Using
linear interpolation in the eighth column of table J, the standard error
of an estimate of 27,000,000 is 216,000; for 29,000,000 it is 221,000.
Using the above formula, the standard error of the 2,000,000 year-toyear change is:

(221,000)

(216,000)'

- 2 (.30) (216,000)

(221,000),

or about 259,000.

Establishment Data
(B, C, and D tables)
COLLECTION

Under cooperative arrangements, responding establishments report
employment, hours, and earnings data and/or labor turnover data to
State agencies. State agencies mail the forms to the establishments and
examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The
States use the reported data to prepare State and area series and also
send the reported data to the BLS (Washington Office) for use in
preparing the national series. This avoids a duplicate reporting burden
on establishments, and together with the use of similar estimating
techniques at the national and State levels, promotes increased comparability between estimates.

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 on layoff,
on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period or who were
hired but have not yet reported during the period.

Shuttle schedules

Industry hours and earnings

Two types of data collection schedules are used: Form BLS
790—Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours; and Form DL
1219—Monthly 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 total number of
full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural
establishments and, for most industries, employment, 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, and
total employment during the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month.

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 private service-producing industries. An exception
to the definitions below are the statistics on hours and earnings of
Federal Government employees, reported in table C-3, which are for
all Federal employees, both supervisory and nonsupervisory, for the
entire calendar month. When the pay period reported is 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 plant's 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.
Nonsupervisroy 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.

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

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 since
January 1980, this information is collected on a supplement to the
quarterly unemployment insurance tax reports filed by employers. 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. The BLS tabulates and estimates
statistics which distinguish between private and public establishments,
thus maintaining continuity with previously published statistics for the
private and government sectors.
Industry employment
Employment data, except those for the Federal Government, refer
to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for any part of

Hours cover the hours paid for, during the pay period which 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 covers 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 do 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 estimates are derived by multiplying
average weekly hours estimates by average hourly earnings estimates.
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 parttime 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 structual 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 or
her 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 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

172


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 single 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 reflect 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 Divergent Measures of Purchasing
Power," in the Monthly Labor Review for August 1979. Reprints of
this ariticle 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. 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. 537-40). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at 1Vi 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 average of the 12 monthly figures for 1967.
For basic industries, 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 industry
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.

ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the establishment 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.

Labor turnover
The "link relative" technique
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 data relate to all
employees, whether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers. The inclusion of transfers to or from another establishment of the company as separations and accessions began 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 specfically 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.)
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—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, 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, transfer 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 strictly 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.



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 K.
Size and regional stratification
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 in table K, may be a whole industry
or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size stratum of a region within
an industry. The labor turnover estimates are stratified by industry
only.
Benchmark adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically with comprehensive counts of employment which provide "benchmarks" for the
various nonagricultural industries, and appropriate adjustments are
made as indicated. The industry estimates are currently projected
from March 1978 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.
The primary sources of benchmark information are employment
data, by industry, compiled quarterly by States agencies from reports
of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws.
These tabulations cover about 98 percent of employees on
nonagricultural payrolls 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
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-to-month changes in the
level. A comparison of the actual amounts of revisions made at the
time of the March 1979 benchmark adjustment is shown in table L.
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 production-worker ratio, women-worker ratio,

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
tht same time, tapers or wedges the estimate toward the level of
the latest sample average.

merit." 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 which a high proportion of total employment is concentrated in relatively few
establishments, a large percent 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
establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show
less fluctuation 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 the
reference period, and, at a somewhat later date, statistics in considerably greater industrial detail.

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 O
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.

Estimates for government are based on a total count for
Federal Government and prior to the March 1979 revision, samples

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

176



The hours and earnings estimates for basic estimating 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 O and for individual industries with the specified number of employees in table P. 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:
RMSE =

Category

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 P.

For the two most recent months, estimates of employment, hours,

figures are based on less than the total sample and are revised when all
the reports in the sample have been received. Table Q presents rootmean-square errors of the amounts of revisions that may be expected
between the preliminary and final levels of employment and
preliminary and final month-to-month changes. Revisions of
preliminary hours and earnings estimates are normally not greater
than 0.1 of an hour for weekly hours and 1 cent for hourly earnings.

PRODUCTIVITY DATA
STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover
data are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation with
BLS. The area statistics relate to metropolitan areas. Definitions for
all areas are published each year in the issue of Employment and Earnings that contains State and area annual averages (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.
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.



Tables C-10, C-ll, 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.

Definitions
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 benefit
plans. The data also include an estimate of wages, salaries, and supplementary payments for the self-employed, except for nonfinancial
corporations, in which there are no self-employed.

177

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 nonlaborpayments 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 adjustments 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 household an<
institutions, owner-occupied housing, and statistical discrepancy. Fo
the nonfinancial coporate sector, the indexes refer to the gros
domestic product of nonfiancial coporate business.
Manufacturing data have been revised to reflect revisions in th
Federal Reserve Board Index of Industrial Production. Output dat;
are supplied by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Departmen
of Commerce, and the Federal Reserve Board. Quarterly measure
have been adjusted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to annua
estimates of output (gross product originating) from the Bureau o
Economic Analysis. Compensation and hours data are from th<
Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

State and Area Unemployment Data
(E tables)
FEDERAL-STATE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM
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 unemployment
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 Works 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 Angeles-Long
Beach metropolitan area and New York City, are sufficently reliable
to be used directly from the CPS. For a description of the CPS concepts see "Household Data," above.
Monthly employment and unemployment estimates in the remaining 40 States and 214 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 residences as used
in the CPS. 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 estimates.
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 unemployment insurance (UI)
laws; (2) those previously employed in industries not covered by these
laws; and (3) those who were either entering the labor force for the
first time or reentering after a period of separation. This is referred to
below as the Ul-based estimate.

178



An estimate for those previously employed in covered industries ii
derived from a count of current unemployment insurance claimants
plus estimates of claimants whose benefits have been exhausted, thos<
persons disqualified from receiving benefits for nonmonetary reason:
(because they quit, were discharged for cause, etc., but would other
wise have been eligible), and persons who either filed claims late or no
at all.
The estimate of those previously employed in industries not coverec
by UI is derived by applying to the employment estimate for each noncovered industry or class of worker subgroup in the State, the ratio ol
covered unemployment to covered employment weighted by factors
reflecting national historical relationships.
For the third category, new entrants and reentrants into the laboi
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:
U = A (X + E) + BX, where
U = total entrant unemployment
E = total employment
X = total experienced unemployment
A,B = synthetic factors incoporating 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 ther
applied at the State level to the Ul-based estimates obtained above foi
each of the 40 States and the District of Columbia. These correctior
factors are based on the ratio of the CPS to the Ul-based estimates foi
the 6 month period ending in the current month (e.g. a 6-month moving average).
4. Substate adjustment for additivity. Independent estimates o)
employment and unemployment are prepared both for the State (obtained directly from the CPS in the 10 large States or by the Ul-basec
method in the remaining States), and labor market areas (LMA's

within the State. The total of the geographic areas in the LMA's exhausts the geographic boundries 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 UIbased 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 UI laws, the structual limitations
of the Ul-based estimating method, and errors in the UI 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
Over a course of a year, the size of the Nation's labor force, the
evels of employment and unemployment, and other measures of
abor market activity undergo sharp fluctuations due to such seasonal
vents as changes in weather, reduced or expanded production,
larvests, major holidays, and the opening and closing of schools,
because these seasonal events follow a more or less regular pattern
:ach year, their influence on statistical trends can be eliminated by adusting the statistics from month to month. These adjustments make it
:asier to observe the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the
eries. In evaluating changes in a seasonally adjusted series, it is im)ortant to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation
>ased on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have a

stablishment data are published regularly in Employment and Earnngs.
The seasonal adjustment programs used for these series are based
»n an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method,
'hey provide for "moving" adjustment factors to take account of
hanging seasonal patterns. A detailed description of the method is
iven in the publication, The X-ll Variant of the Census Method II
easonal Adjustment Program, Technical Paper No. 15, Bureau of
le Census (1967).
Beginning in January 1980, the BLS introduced two major
lodifications in the seasonal adjustment methodology for data from
le household survey. First, the data are being seasonally adjusted
ith a new procedure called X-11/ARIMA, which was developed at
tatistics Canada as an extension of the existing standard X-ll
lethod. A detailed description of the procedure appears in The X-ll
RIM A Seasonal Adjustment Method, by Estela Bee Dagum,
tatistics Canada Catalogue No. 12-564E, September 1979. The X-ll
rocedure was originally developed at the Bureau of the Census and
ad been used by the BLS to seasonally adjust labor force series since
J73. Tests have shown that use of the X-ll ARIMA procedure,
hich essentially places more emphasis on recent data, provides better
asonal adjustments than does the X-ll method alone.
The second change is that seasonal factors are now being calculated
>r use during the first 6 months of the year rather than for the entire
;ar. In July of each year, the BLS will calculate and publish (in
mployment and Earnings) a new set of seasonal factors for use in the
cond half, based on the experience through June. Revisions of
storical data for the most recent 5 years will continue to be made
ice a year, at the beginning of each calendar year.



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 components—agricultural employment,
nonagricultural employment, and unemployment—data for four sexage 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 official 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 data for selected labor force series based on the experience through December 1979, new seasonal adjustment factors to be used to calculate the overall unemployment rate for
the first 6 months of 1980, and a description of the current seasonal
adjustment methodology are published in the January 1980 issue of
Employment and Earnings. Revised seasonally adjusted data covering the entire 5-year revision period for a broader range of labor force
series appear in the February 1980 issue of this publication. Many additional series, which are either components or aggregates of the series
presented, are available from the BLS upon request.
Beginning in July 1980, the BLS also uses the X-ll ARIMA
methodology in seasonally adjusting the establishment data, which
previously had been computed using the BLS Seasonal Factor
Method. All series are seasonally adjusted using the multiplicative
models under X-ll ARIMA. Seasonal adjustment factors used in
calculating the current estimates are based on data through March of
1980. The ARIMA model options for projecting the data series for 1
year ahead have not been used in seasonally adjusting the establishment series.
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. Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(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

179

workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing by the 1967 base. For total
private, total goods-producing 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.
Seasonal factors were not computed for a number of series
characterized by small seasonal components relative to their trendcycle and/or irregular components. These unadjusted series are
shown and used in the aggregation to broader level seasonally adjusted series.
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. Further-

for FRASER


more, the volume of such employment may change substantially frc
year to year because of administrative decisions by the Postal Servii
Hence, it was considered desirable to exclude this group from the d«
upon which the seasonally adjusted series is based.
For labor turnover rates, seasonal adjustment factors are appli
directly to the component series. These series are then aggregated
obtain total levels (total accessions and total separations). These U
tors are derived by the X-ll ARIMA Method using the trading d
option. As a result, these series are adjusted for the number of tim
each day of the week occurs in a given month, as well as for the mor
of the year.
The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishment d;
reflect experience through March 1980. Seasonal factors to be used 1
current adjustment appear in the July 1980 issue of Employment a
Earnings.
