The Nature of Industries With High and Low Quit Rates
Robert M. Shaw
The Quit rate, a measure of workers vol
untarily leaving jobs, is not only affected
b y general economic conditions, but at any
particular point in time shows decided varia
tions among industries. In this article, some
of the c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s of i n d u s t r i e s with
high and low quit rates are examined.
Al
though such an investigation does not yield
definitive reasons for quits since it lacks
information concerning individual motivations,
working conditions, community facilities such
as h o u s i n g and transportation, etc., some
light may be shed on the nature of industries
with high and low rates. This knowledge will
not only aid in understanding the differences
among industries but will also suggest p o s
sible sources of v ariation betw e en the e x
perience of an individual firm and rates for
the industry as a whole, published monthly in
table B-2 of this publication.

were analyzed in an earlier issue of Etaployment and Earnings. 1 Briefly, in that article
it was demonstrated that a seasonal pattern
exists, and that there is a long-term decline
in the quit rate among workers in manufactur
ing industries.
The list of industries examined here has
been limited to those for which certain sta
tistical m e as ur es of char ac te r is ti cs exist
(see table).
Specifically, for all the 57
manufacturing industries selected, the fol
lowing BLS data are available: number of all
employees and production workers; number of
women employees; labor turno ve r rates; and
gross average hourly earnings of production
workers. The statistical data used are annual
averages for 1956, with one exception which
has been noted.

two other years, 1950 and 1954, with higher
and lower average quit rates than 1956, evi
denced the same relationships between quits
and earnings, women, and production workers.)
The relationship between the proportion
of women employees in an industry and the quit
rate provides the basis for chart II. 3 For
that half of the industries where the number
o f women employees is less than the median 18
percent, quit rates are lower than the median
in 18 instances.
Low earnings, high quits
When the quit rates in the 57 selected
industries are charted against gross average
howrly earnings of production workers in these
same industries (see chart I), a definite re
lationship between the two items e m e r g e s . 2
At the extremes, we find that low-earnings in
dustries have relatively high quit rates and
vice versa.
Of that half of the industries
with earnings less than the median, 17 had
quit rates higher than the median quit rate,
while 19 industries with higher than median
earnings had lower than median quit rates.

This relati on sh ip bet we en earnings and
quit rates does not prove that high pay rates
will reduce turnover.
It does show that the
complex of factors in low-earnings industries
is such that these industries generally have
higher quit rates, while the opposite is true
of high-earnings industries.

resulted from illness o r disability and, of
course, practi ca l ly none from household re
sponsibilities. Further, more than 39 percent
of all male job leavers surveyed in 1955 quit
to improve their status (better pay, pl ea s
anter working conditions, e t c . ) as against
less than 35 percent of the female job leavers.
40-or 50-percent line on chart II, the evi
dence becomes stronger that these industries
a ct ua ll y do ha ve h i g h e r than a v e ra ge quit
rates.
In fact, the tendency is persistently
upward as the proportion goes beyond 60 per
cent, although the number of observations is
too small to reach any firm conclu s io ns in
these upper extremes. Supporting evidence is
available, however, from the table published
quarterly in Employment and Earnings whi c h
shows quit rates among men and women employees
separately in 20 major manufacturing groups.
These statistics show that the quit rates for
women tend to be considerably higher in nearly
all industry groups.
Quits tend to be higher for
production workers than office workers
A third variable among the 57 industries
is the ratio of produc ti on workers to total
employment in the industry. The relationship
between the p r o du c ti on worker-all employee
ratio and the quit rate for all employees is
plotted in chart III.
At the lower end of
the scale, those industries where production
workers c o n s ti tu te less than the median 81
percent of the work force, the quit rate is
below the median 1.5 per 100 in 19 industries.
At the very least,one can conclude that a
relatively high quit rate is not unexpected
where women workers predominate.
It seems pertinent to point out here that
t ur n o v e r a m o ng m e n is p r o b a b l y a bit m or e
susceptible to control than that among women.
About 9 percent of the job terminations among
women in 1955 were for such compelling rea
sons as illness or household responsibilities,
items whici; are beyond effective remedial ac
tion on the employer* s part . 4 Only 3 percent

On the ot her hand, the quit rates are c o n
sistently above the median among the 6 indus
tries where the proportion of production work
ers is greater than 90 percent.
A closer look at chart III shows that the
tendency for lower quit rates among the group
of industries with smaller production workerall employee ratios is p a rticularly p e r s i s
tent. Among that half of the industries where
production workers constitute 80 percent or
less of the work force, only 2 have quit rates
above 1.6 per 100.
Prom the foregoing discussion, it appears,
therefore, that the quit rate among production
workers is higher than among workers not di
rectly a ssociated with production, such as
m a n a g e r i a l , personnel, a nd sa le s staffs.
Without separate labor turnover rates for the
two classes of workers, however, this may only
be surmised.

NOWFAHM EMPLOYMENT RISES 238,000 IN AUGUST 19$7
automobile hardware. A strong seasonal employment
upturn was noted among manufacturers of radio and
television sets. A job increase in cement plants
reflected the return of striking workers.
Nonfarm employment rose by 238,000 over the
month to a level of 52.8 million in August 1 9 5 7 *
The rise, which resulted from the usual latesuramer expansion in food processing, apparel, and
several other manufacturing industries, was mod
est in relation to the rise in most recent years.
In contrast to the persistent raonth-to-month
employment gains registered in nonmanufacturing
activities, manufacturing employment has shown
small declines, on a seasonally adjusted basis,
since the beginning of 1957. Factory job levels
have declined by almost 280,000 over this period,
after allowing for the usual seasonal change.
About two-thiras of this decline occurred in dur
able -goods producing industries. Aside from the
transportation equipment industry, where the drop
in employment from December to August reflected
different stages in the automobile production year,
substantial job reductions on a seasonally adjusted
basis were reported by the primary metals, machinery,
lumber, and food processing industries. On the
other hand, the electrical machinery industry re
ported considerable job growth over the same period.
Average hourly earnings of factory produc
tion workers held steady between July and August
at $2«07* Average weekly earnings rose to $82*59
as a result of an increase in the workweek from
39.7 to 39.9 hours.
NOmANUFACTURIHG EMPLOYMENT STEADY
Job levels in nonmanufacturing activities
were, on the whole, little changed between July
and August. Employment in trade held firm over
the month, but construction employment rose by
less than the usual amount, partly because of in
dustrial disputes.
A rise in inventory of petro
leum products resulted in a small employment cut
back in petroleum and natural*gas fields. Employ
ment in the transportation industry increased with
the return of railway express workers after settle
ment of a strike.
FACTORY WORKWEEK AT 39.9 HOURS
The factory workweek rose from 39.7 to 39.9
hours between July and August 1957. Although the
rise was approximately seasonal for the period,
the level of 39.9 hours was 0 .1* hours below a year
ago and generally below the August level of previ
ous years. In only 3 of the 10 years from 19i*7 to
1956 has the August workweek averaged less than hO
hours.
FACTORY JOBS UP LESS THAN SEASONALLY
Manufacturing employment rose by 251,000 to
16.9 million in August, a somewhat smaller than
usual rise for the month. The largest employment
increases occurred in food processing (77 ,000),
where cannery activity was stepped up to process
fruit and vegetable harvests,and in apparel
(58,000), where large-scale production of the
winter clothing line commenced. The increase in
apparel employment between July and August was be
low that of previous years. Employment changes
in other nondurable-goods industries were mainly
seasonal.
The increase of 0.2 hours in durable-goods in
dustries was below average for this month. The
lumber and fabricated metals industries reported
smaller rises in hours of work than are usual in
August, and the workweeks in the machinery and
primary metals industries declined slightly, al
though small increases normally occur.
In the nondurable-goods sector, hours of work
declined by more than the usual amount from July
to August both in food processing establishments
and in petroleum refineries. The printing industry
however, reported a gain considerably greater than
seasonal.
The August job increase in durable-goods in
dustries was smaller than usual. There was vir
tually no change in job levels in the lumber in
dustry between July and August. The steel indus
try reported a continuation of job declines instead
of the usual small increase, and substantial job
cutbacks were reported by aircraft manufacturers
and producers of machine-tool accessories.
Average overtime work in manufacturing declined
by 0 .1 hour over the month to a level of 2.3 hours,
0 .1* hours below a year ago.
Increasing employment activity, apparently
connected with preparation for 1958 car model pro
duction, was reported by a number of automobile
component suppliers— notably producers of metal
stampings, electrical equipment for vehicles, and
Compared with a year ago, substantially shorter
hours of work prevailed in a number of industries,
notably lumber (1 .5 hours below a year ago), ma
chinery (1 .1 hours), transportation equipment and
food (1.0 hour), ordnance (0 .7 hours), and electrical

Factory earnings were higher by 9 cents per
hour and $2.80 per week compared with August 1956.
Industries reporting the largest over-the-year
increases in weekly earnings were primary metals
($7 .00), rubber ($6 .52 ), fabricated metals ($5 .73 ),
and chemicals ($ln96).

Approxim ate size and coverage of BLS
a. Collection
The employment statistics program, which is based
on establishment payroll reports, provides current data
for both full- and part-time workers on payrolls of
nonagricultural establishments (see glossary for defi
nition, p. 7-J5) during a specified period each month*
The BLS uses two "shuttle" schedules for this program,
the BLS Form 790 (for employment, payroll, and manhours data) and the Form 1219 (for labor turnover data).
The shuttle schedule, used by BLS for more than 25
years, is designed to assist firms to report consist
ently, accurately, and with a minimum of cost* The
questionnaire provides space for the establishment to
report for each month of the current calendar year; in
this way, the employer uses the same schedule for the
entire year.
Under a cooperative arrangement with the BLS,
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and
completeness. The States use the information to prepare
State and area series and then send the data to the BLS
Division of Manpower and Employment Statistics for use
in preparing the national series.
b.
Industrial Classification
Establishments are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined
from information on annual sales volume. This informa
tion is collected each year. For manufacturing estab
lishments, a product supplement to the monthly 790
report is used. The supplement provides for reporting
the percentage of total sales represented by each pro
duct. Information for nonmanufacturing establish
ments is collected on the 790 form itself. In the

DEFINITIONS AND ESTIMATING
METHODS:
A.
EMPLOYMENT
Definition
Employment data for all except Federal Government
establishments refer to persons who worked during, or
received pay for, any part of the pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month. For Federal Government
establishments current data generally refer to persons
who worked on, or received pay for, the last day of
the month.
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave, paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who work
during a part of the specified pay period and are un
employed or on strike during the other part of the
period are counted as employed. Persons are not con
sidered employed who are laid off or are on leave with
out pay, who are on strike for the entire period, or
who are hired but do not report to work during the
period. Proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid family
workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in house
holds are also excluded. Government employment covers
only civilian employees; Federal military personnel
are shown separately, but their number is excluded
from total nonagrlcultural employment.
With respect to employment in educational institu
tions (private and governmental), BLS considers regular
full-time teachers to be employed during the summer
vacation period whether or not they are specifically
paid in those months.
Barmhnwyk Data
Employment estimates are periodically compared with
complete counts of employment in the various nonagri-
2-E
cultural industries, and appropriate adjustments made
as indicated by the total counts or benchmarks. The
co^arison made for the first 3 months of 1956 resulted
in changes smutting to 0.5 percent of all nonagricultural e^)loyment, as against 0.8 percent in the first
quarter 1955 benchmark adjustment. Changes ranged from
0.1 to 2,1 percent far 6 of the 8 major industry divi
sions; for the other 2, service and miscellaneous
industries required an adjustment of 3.4 percent, con
tract construction 4*3 percent. The manufacturing
total was changed by only 0*1 percent. Within manu
facturing the benchmark and estimate differed by 1*0
percent or less in 53 of the 132 individual industries,
39 industries were adjusted by 1*1 to 2.5 percent, and
an additional 22 industries differed by 2.6 to 5*0 per
cent. fas significant cause of differences between the
benchmark and estimate is the change in industrial
classification of individual firms, which cannot be
reflected in BLS estimates until they are adjusted to
new benchmarks. Other causes are aaigUng and response
errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry,
compiled by State agencies from reports of establish
ments covered under State unemployment insurance laws.
Supplementary tabulations prepared by the U. S.
Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance are used for
the group of establishments exempt from State unem
ployment insurance laws because of their small size.
Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded
from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from
a variety of other sources.
The BLS estimates which are prepared for the
benchmark quarter are compared with the new benchmark
levels, industry by industry. Where revisions are
necessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between
the new benchmark and the preceding one. Following
revision for these intermediate periods, the industry
data from the most recent benchmark are projected to
the current month by use of the sample trends. Under
this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment while the sample is used to
measure the month-to-month changes in the level.
Estimating tfetfaod
The estimating procedure for industries for which
data on both "all employees”and 11production and re
lated workers" are published (manufacturing and
selected mining industries) is outlined below; the
first step under this method is also used for indus
tries for which only figures on "all employees" are
published.
The first step is to compute total employment (all
employees) in the industry for the month following the
benchmark period. The all-employee total for the last
benchmark month (e.g., March) is multiplied by the
percent chaise of total employment over the month for
the group of establishments reporting for both March
and April. Thus, if firms in the BLS sample for an
industry report 30,000 employees in Jferch and 31,200
in April, April employment is 104 percent (31#200
divided by 30,000) of March employment. If the all
employee benchmark in Nkrch is 40,000, the all-employee
total in April would be 104 percent of 40,000 or
41,600.
The second step is to compute the productionworker total for the industry. The all-employee total
for the month is multiplied by the ratio of production
workers to all employees. This ratio Is computed from
establishment reports in the monthly sample. Thus, if
these firms in April report 24,960 production workers
and a total of 31,200 employees, the ratio of produc
tion workers to all employees would be .80 (24,960
divided by 31,200). The production-worker total in
April would be 33,280 (41,600 multiplied by .80).
Figures for subsequent months are computed by
carrying forward the totals for the previous month ac
cording to the method described above.
The number of women employees in manufacturing,
published quarterly, Is computed by multiplying the
all-employee estimate for the industry by the ratio
of women to all employees as reported in the industry
sample.
Employment Adjusted for Seasonal Variation
Employment series for many industries reflect a
regularly recurring seasonal movement, which can be
measured on the basis of past experience. By elimi
nating that part of the change in employment which can
be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is pos
sible to clarify the cyclical and other nonseasonal
movements in the series. Adjusted employment aggre
gates are shown and also indexes (1947^49 3 100) de
rived from these aggregates. The indexes have the
additional advantage of comparing the current sea
sonally adjusted employment level with average employ
ment in the base period.
Comparability with Other Employment
Employment data published by other government and
private agencies may differ from BLS employment sta
tistics because of differences in definition, sources
of information, methods of collection, classification,
and estimation. BLS monthly figures are not directly
comparable, for example, with the estimates of the
Census Monthly Report on the Labor Force (MRLF).
Census data are obtained by personal interviews with
individual members of a small sample of households
and are designed to provide information on the work
status of the whole population, classified by their
demographic characteristics. The BLS, on the other
hand, obtains data by mail questionnaire which are
based on the payroll records of business units, and
prepares detailed statistics on the Industrial and
geographic distribution of employment and on hours of
work and earnings.
Since BLS employment figures are derived from
establishment payroll records, persons who worked in
more than one establishment during the reporting peri
od will be counted more than once in the BLS series.
By definition, proprietors, self-employed persons,
domestic servants,' and unpaid family workers are ex
cluded from the BLS but not the MRLF series.
Employment estimates compiled by the Bureau of the
Census tram its censuses and/or annual sample surveys
of manufacturing establishments also differ from BLS
employment statistics. Among the important reasons
for lack of comparability are differences in indus
tries covered, in the business units considered parts
of an establishment, and in the industrial classifi
cation of establishments. Similar differences exist
between the BLS data and those in County Business
Patterns published jointly by the U.S. Department of
Commerce and the U.S. Department of Health, Education
and Welfare.
B. LABOR TURNOVER
Definition
"Labor turnover," as used in the BLS program, re
fers to the gross movement of wage and salary workers
into and out of employment status with respect to in
dividual firms during a calendar month. This movement
is subdivided into two broad types: accessions (new
hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of
employment initiated by either employer or employee).
Each type of action Is cumulated for a calendar month
and expressed as a rate per 100 employees. All em
ployees, Including executive, office, sales, other
salaried personnel, and production workers, are cov
ered by both the turnover movements and the employment
base used in computing labor turnover rates. All
groups of employees— full- and part-time, permanent,
and temporary— are included. Transfers from one es
tablishment to another within a company are not con
sidered to be turnover items.
Method of Computation
To compute turnover rates for individual indus
tries, the total number of each type of action (ac
cessions, quits, etc.) reported for a calendar month
by the sample establishments in each industry is first
divided by the total number of employees reported by
these establishments, who worked during, or received
pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the
15th of that month. The result is multiplied by 100
to obtain the turnover rate.
For example, in an industry sample, the total
number of employees who worked during, or received
pay for, the week of January 12-18 was reported as
25,498. During the period January 1-31 a total of
284 employees in all reporting firms quit. The quit
rate for the Industry Is:
284 x 100 = 1.1
25,498
To compute turnover rates for broader industrial
categories, the rates for the component Industries
are weighted by the estimated employment.
Separate turnover rates for men and women are pub
lished quarterly for 1 month in each quarter. Only
accessions, quits, and total separations are publish
ed. These rates are computed in the same manner as
the all-employee rates; for example, the quit rate for
woman is obtained from an industry sample by dividing
the number of women who quit during the month by the
number of women employees reported.
Average monthly turnover rates for the year for
all employees are computed by dividing the sum of the
monthly rates by 12.
Comparability with Earlier Data
Labor turnover rates are available on a compara
ble basis from January 1930 for manufacturing as a
whole and from 1943 for two coal mining and two com
munication industries. Rates for many individual in
dustries and industry groups for the period prior to
January 1950 are not comparable with those for the
subsequent period because of a revision which in
volved (1) the adoption of the Standard Industrial
Classification (1945) code structure for manufactur
ing industries, and (2) the introduction of weighting
3-R
in the computation of industry-group rates.
Comparability with Employment Series
MDnth-to-month changes in total employment in man
ufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover
rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the
Bureau's employment series for the following reasons:
(1) Accessions and separations are computed
for the entire calendar-month; the em
ployment reports, for the most part,
refer to a 1-week pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month.
(2) The turnover sample excludes certain in
dustries (see under coverage, p. 2-E) •
(3) Hants on strike are not included in the
turnover computations beginning with the
month the strike starts through the month
the workers return; the influence of such
stoppages is reflected, however, in the
employment figures.
C.
HOURS AND EARNINGS
Definitions of production workers, nonsupervisory
employees, payrolls, and man-hours from which hours
and earnings data are derived are Included in the
glossary, page 7-E. Methods used to compute hours
and earnings averages are described in summary of
methods for computing national statistics, page 6-E.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and non
manufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, i.e.,
they reflect not only changes in basic hourly and in
centive wage rates, but also such variable factors as
premium pay for overtime and late-shift work, and
changes in output of workers paid on an incentive
basis. Employment shifts between relatively high-paid
and low-paid work and changes in workers1 earnings in
individual establishments also affect the general
earnings averages* Averages for groups and divisions
further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for
individual industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings refer to the actual return to the worker for
a stated period of time; rates are the amounts stipu
lated for a given unit of work or time« However, the
average earnings series does not measure the level of
total labor costs on the part of the employer, since
the following are excluded: irregular bonuses, ret
roactive items, payments of various welfare benefits,
payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for
those employees not covered under the productionworker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.
Gross average weekly earnings are affected not
only by changes in gross average hourly earnings, but
also by changes in the length of the workweek, parttime work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turn
over, and absenteeism.
Average Weekly Hours
The workweek information relates to average hours
worked or paid for, and is somewhat different from
standard or scheduled hours. Normally, such factors
as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and
stoppages cause average weekly hours to be lower than
scheduled hours of work for an establishments. Group
averages further reflect changes in the workweek of
component industries.
Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of reg
ular hours and for which premium payments were made.
If an employee works on a paid holiday at regular rates,
receiving as total compensation his holiday pay plus
straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no overtime
hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by defini
tion, the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not
necessarily move in the same direction fro« month to
month; for example, premiums may be paid for hours in
excess of the straight-time workday although less than
a full week is worked. Diverse trends on the industrygroup level may also be caused by a marked change in
gross hours for a component industry where little or
no overtime was worked in both the previous and cur
rent months. In addition, such factors as stoppages,
absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the sane
influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
Groaa Average Weekly Earning« In Current and
19A7-4.9 Dollars
These series indicate changes in the level of
weekly earnings before and after adjustment for
changes in purchasing power as determined from the
BLS Consumer Price Index.
Het Spendable Average
Egmlrwa
Net spendable average weekly earnings in current
dollars are obtained by deducting Federal social se
curity and income taxes from gross weekly earnings.
The amount of income tax liability depends on the
number of dependents supported by the worker, as well
as on the level of his gross income. To reflect these
variables, net spendable earnings have been computed
for two types of income receivers: (l) a worker with
no dependents; and (2) a worker with three depend
ents.
The computations of net spendable earnings for
both the factory worker with no dependents and the
factory worker with three dependents are based upon
the gross average weekly earnings for all production
workers in manufacturing industries without regard to
marital status, family composition, and total family
income.
Net spendable weekly earnings in 1947-^49 dollars
represent an approximate measure of changes in "real"
net spendable weekly earnings. "Real" earnings are
computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index
into the spendable earnings average for the current
month* The resulting level of spendable earnings ex
pressed in 1947-«49 dollars is thus adjusted for
changes in purchasing power since that base period.
ATTtf Hotn-lT h w H n n .
Owwtlj».
of Production Worker» In Hmofacturlng
Average hourly earnings, excluding premium overtine pay, are computed by dividing the total produotion-worker payroll for the industry group by the sum
of total production-worker man-hours and one-half of
total overtine man-hours. frior to January 1956, data
were based on the application of adjustment factors to
gross average hourly earnings (as described in the
Monthly Labor Review, M*y 1950, pp. 537-540; reprint
available, Serial No. R. 2020). Both methods elimi
nate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
one and one-half t i m w the straight-time rates. No
adjustment is made for other premium payment provi
sions, for example— holiday work, late-shift work, and
overtime rates other than time and one-half.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Mm-Houra
The indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours are pre
pared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1947-49 period. These aggre
gates represent the product of average weekly hours
and employment.
The aggregate man-hours are defined as total manhours for which pay was received by full- and parttime production or construction workers, includili
hours paid for holidays, sick leave, and vacations
taken. The man-hours are for 1 week of the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month, and may not be
typical of the entire month«
Hours and Earnings
The figures for Class I railroads (excluding
switching and terminal conpanies) are based upon month
l y data summarized in the M-300 repgpfr of thm Inter
state cbnniBrce^(ibmcds8iari and relate to all employees
vho received pay during the month, except executives,
officials, |and staff assistants (ICC Group I). Gross
average hourly earnings are computed by dividing
total compensation by total hours paid for. Average
weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number
of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly basis, by the
number of employees, as defined above. Gross average
weekly earnings are derived by nultiplyiz^ average
weekly hours by Average hourly earnings.
Because
hours and earnings data for manufacturing and other
nonmanufaoturlng Industries are based upon reports to
the BLS which generally represent 1 weekly pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month, the data for
railroad employees are not strictly comparable with
other Industry Information shown in this publication.
STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area ea^xLoyment, hours, earnings, and
labor turnover statistics are collected and prepared
by State agencies in cooperation with tbs BLS. These
statistics are based on the sane establishment re
ports used by the BLS for preparing national esti
mates. State employment series are adjusted to bench
mark data from. State unemployment Insurance agencies
and the Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance.
Because some States have more recent benchmarks than
others and use slightly varying methods of commutation,
the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from
the official U. S. totals prepared by the BLS.
Additional Industry detail may be obtainable
from the cooperating State agencies listed on the
inside back cover of this report.
