A t that tim e , the se a so n a lly adjusted rate of unem ploym ent w as 4. 3 percent as com p ared with 5. 5 p erce n t in A ugust 1959. The A ugust r is e in the unem ploym ent rate (fro m 5. 1 to 5. 5 p erce n t se a so n a lly adjusted) was due in part to the secon d ary e ffe c ts of the steel strike and the e a r ly changeover in auto m o d e ls.

INTRODUCTION the Bureau of Labor hours during the survey week. In the figures based on estab lishment records, persons who worked in more than one estab lishment during the reporting period are counted each time their names appear on payrolls. The statistics in this periodical are compiled from two major sources: (1 ) household interviews and (2 ) payroll reports from employers. Data based on household interviews are obtained from a sample survey of the population. The survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the labor force, i.e., the total number of persons lb years of age and over who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data on their personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex, color, marital status, occupations, hours of work, and duration of unemployment. The information is collected by trained inter viewers from a sample of about 35, OCX) households in 330 areas throughout the country and is based on the activity or status reported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the 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 or looking for work 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, whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off. In the figures based on pay roll reports, persons on paid sick leave, paid vacation, or paid holiday are included, but not those on leave without pay for the entire payroll period. Hours of Work The household survey measures hours actually worked whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers. In the household survey data, all persons with a Job but not at work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computa tions of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid during the reporting period. Data based on establishment payroll records are com piled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The pay roll survey provides detailed 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 figures are based on payroll reports from a sample of 100,000 establishments employing about 25 million nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the pay roll period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Comparability of the household interview data with other series Unemployment Insurance data. The unemployed total from the household survey includes all persons who did not work at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemployment Insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by the Bureau of Employment Security of the Department of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unem ployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by un employment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local government, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size). Relation between the household and payroll series The household and payroll 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 de rived 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 factors which have a differential effect on levels and trends of the two series are described below: In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemploy ment 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 house hold survey. Employment Coverage. The household survey definition of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including do mestics 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 farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll sur vey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of nonfarm establishments. Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the in clusion of persons under lV In the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders who are counted more than once if they worked 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. Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population with out duplication since each person is classified as employed, un employed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job are counted only once, and are classified ac cording to the job at which they worked the greatest number of from Use order blank on page 9-E. Comparability of the payroll employment data with other series Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from 1-E 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. i 18 censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing estab lishments and the censuses of business establishments. The ma jor reason for lack of comparability is different treatment of business units considered parts of an establishment, such as central administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in the industrial classification of establishments due to different reporting patterns by multi-unit companies. There are also dif ferences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Business excludes professional services, transporta tion companies, and financial establishments, vhile these are included in BLS statistics. Included in the total are employed citizens of for eign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not living on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratory farm workers). Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work around the house (such as own home housework, and painting or repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, chari table, and similar organizations. County Business Patterns. Data in County Business Patterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establish ment statistics in the units considered integral parts of an establishment and in industrial classification. In addition, CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, inter state railroads, and government. Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did not work at all during the survey week and were looking for work, regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemploy ment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who did not work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to re port to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been look ing for work except that they were temporarily ill or believed no work was available in their line of work or in the community. Persons in this latter category will usually be residents of a community in which there are only a few dominant industries which were shut down during the survey week. Not included in this category are persons who say they were not looking for work because they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any way. Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the Unem ployment Insurance programs. All workers in certain activities, such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, are excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries are also excluded in 3*+ States. In general, these are establish ments with less than four employees. LABOR FORCE DATA The Unemployment Rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of the employed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed for groups within the labor force classified by sex, age, marital status, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupation groups, the labor-force base for the unemployment rate also rep resents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latter classified according to industry and occupation of their latest full-time civilian job. COLLECTION A N D COVERAGE Statistics on the employment status of the population, the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristics of employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force 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 the Current Employment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau of the Census, U. S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-23, No. 5* This report is available from BLS on request.) Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time (through the current survey week)during which persons classi fied as unemployed had been continuously-looking for work or would have been looking for work except for temporary illness, or belief that no work was available In their line of work or in the community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of full weeks since the termination of their most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment. These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to represent the civilian noninstitutional population 14 years and over. Re spondents are interviewed to obtain information about the em ployment status of each member of the household 1*4- years of age and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15th of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field interviewing is conducted in the following week. 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. Inmates of institutions and persons under lU 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 in cluded as part of the categories "total noninstitutional popu lation" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Depart ment of Defense. Not in Labor Force includes all civilians 14 years and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are further classified as "engaged in own home house work," "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physi cal 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. The sample for CPS is spread over 330 areas compris ing 638 counties and independent cities, with coverage in 1*8 States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed in terviews are obtained each month from about 35,000 households. There are about 1,500 additional sample households from which information should be collected but is not because the occu pants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporar ily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This repre sents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 4 percent. Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to be common from one month to the next, and one-half to be common with the same month a year ago. CONCEPTS Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker 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 occupation and industry groups used in data derived from the CPS household interviews are defined as in the 1950 Census of Population. Information on the detailed categories included in these groups is available upon request. Employed Persons comprise (a) all those who during the survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, or in their own business or profession, or on their own farm, or who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in a business operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those who were not working or looking for work but who had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time off for various other reasons, whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off. The industrial classification system used in the Census of Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhat from that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by indus try. Employment levels by industry from the household survey, although useful for many analytical purposes, are not published in order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ from the payroll series because of differences in classification, sampling variability, and other reasons. The industry figures from the household survey are used as a base for published distributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other 2-E characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, and occupation. mortality, and migration between the United States and other countries. The clas8-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salary workers,” subdivided into private and government workers, "self-employed 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 governmental 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. 3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving sta tistics 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. This procedure reduces the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes but also of the levels for most items. 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 Veterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even though he was paid for the holiday. For persons working in more than one job, the figures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the week. However, all the hours are credited to the major job. Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey week are designated as working "full time"; persons who worked between 1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part time." Part-time workers are classified by their usual status at their present job (either full time or part time) and by their reason for working part time during the survey week (economic or other reasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job during the week, and inability to find full-time work. "Other reasons" include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own ill ness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for full-time work and full-time worker only during peak season. ESTIMATING METHODS The seasonal adjustment method used for unemployment and other labor force series is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method, with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to take account of changing seasonal pat terns. A detailed description and illustration of the method appears in appendixes II and III of the report, Seasonal Variations in the Labor Force, Employment, and Unemployment, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current Population Reports, Series P-50, No. 82. This report is available from BLS on request. Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of the labor force to be applied to data for 1957 and later periods are shown in table A. Factors for broad age-sex groups and for duration of unemployment categories are included in the publication cited in the preceding paragraph. In computing these factors, the pre-1957 data were adjusted to reflect the new definitions of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957* Seasonally adjusted aggregates for these series for 1948 to date are available on request. Table A. Seasonal adjustment factors for the labor force and major components, to be used for the period 1957-59 Month The estimating procedure is essentially one of using sample results to obtain percentages of the population in a given category. The published estimates are then obtained by multiplying these percentage distributions by independent esti mates of the population. The principle steps involved are shown below. Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of the results for a given month become available simultaneously and cure 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, re visions of the historical data are not an inherent feature of this statistical program. 1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all in terviewed 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 for other reasons. This adjustment is made sepa rately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six groups— color (white and nonwhite) within the three residence categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The propor tion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5 percent depending on weather, vacations, etc. 2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the popula tion selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, from that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics as age, color, sex, and residence. Since these population charac teristics 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: Jan... Feb... Mar... Apr... May... June.. July.. Aug... Sept.. Oct... Nov... Dec...

Seasonally adjusted estimates have a broader margin of possible error than the original data on which they are based, since they are subject not only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself. Reliability of the Estimates Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may differ from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possible to take a complete census using the same sched ules and procedures. The standard error is a measure of sampling variabil ity, that is, the variations that might occur by chance because only a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances are about two out of three that an estimate from the sample would differ from a complete census by less than the standard error. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the standard error. a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the pro cedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the known 195° Census data on the color-residence distribution of the population. This step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the 1950 Census between the colorresidence distribution for the Nation and for the sample areas. Table B shows the average standard error for the major employment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12 recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey are also subject to sampling variability. The standard error of change for consecutive months is also shown in table B. The standard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable approx imations of the standard errors of year-to-year change. b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the sample proportions are weighted by independent current esti mates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimates are prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data (1950) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, Seasonal Adjustment 3-E Table B. as the standard error of the monthly level in table D, it may be seen that the standard error of the 500,000 increase is about 135 ,000.

Where the numerator is a subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are rela tively more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates of the numerator of the percentage, particularly if the per centage is large (50 percent or greater). Table E shows the standard errors for percentages derived from the survey. Linear interpolation may be used for percentages and base fig ures not shown in table E. 120 The figures presented in table C are to be used for other characteristics and are approximations of the standard errors of all such characteristics. They should be interpreted as providing an indication of the order of magnitude of the . standard errors rather than as the precise standard error for any specific item. Table E. Table C.

Thus, in order to use the approximations to the standard errors of month-to-month changes as presented in table D, it is first necessary to obtain the standard error of the monthly level of the item in table C, and then find the standard error of the month-to-month change in table D corresponding to this standard error of level. It should be noted that table D applies to estimates of change be tween 2 consecutive months. For changes between the current month and the same month last year, the standard errors of level shown in table C are acceptable approximations. .6 .7 .8 .8 •9 .6 .6 1.7 2.4 2.6 2.8 •3 •3 •3 .4 .4 1.4 1.6 r -7 1.9 1.9 1.3 1.4 •3 •3 •3 •5 •7 .8 •9 1.0 1.1 1.1 ESTABLISHMENT DATA COLLECTION Payroll reports provide current information on wage and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonfarm establishments, by geographic location. Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total number of persons working a specific number of hours, as 15 ,000,000, an increase of 500,000 over the previous month. Linear interpolation in the first column of table C shows that the standard error of 15,000,000 is about 160,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the figure which would have been obtained from a complete count of the number of per sons working the given number of hours would have differed by less than 160,000 from the sample estimate. Using the 160,000 Base of percentage (thousands) 150 Federal-State Cooperation Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, the respondent fills out only 1 employment or labor turnover schedule, which is then used for national, State, and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of respondents and, together with the use of identical techniques at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic comparability of estimates. 4-E State agencies mail the forms to the establishments and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and com pleteness. The States use the information to prepare State and area series and then send the data to the BLS for use in pre paring the national series. The BLS and the Bureau of Employ ment Security jointly finance the current employment statistics program in 4l States, the turnover program in 40 States. Labor Turnover Labor turnover reports are received from approximately 10,500 establishments in the manufacturing, mining, and commu nication industries (see table below). The following manufac turing industries are excluded from the labor turnover sample: Printing, publishing, and allied industries (since April 1943); canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods; women's and misses' outerwear; and fertilizer. Shuttle Schedules Approximate size and coverage of BLS labor turnover sample used in computing national rates The Form BLS 790 is used to collect employment, pay roll, and man-hours data, Form 1219 labor turnover data. Both schedules are of the "shuttle" type, with space for each month of the calendar year. Industry The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments for the pay period ending nearest the 15th of each month.

CONCEPTS Industry Employment Prior to publication of State and area data for January 1959, all national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover series were classified in accord ance with the following documents: (1) For manufacturing, Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Volume I, Bureau of the Budget, 1945, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial Classification Code, Social Security Board, 1942. Beginning with January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958), State and area series are classified under the revised Standard Industrial Classification Manual published in 1957. The national industry statistics will be converted to the 1957 SIC early in 1961. Employment data for all except Federal Government refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15 th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, current data generally refer to persons who received pay for the last day of the month. The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, un paid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federal military personnel are shown spearately, but their number is excluded from total nonagricultural employment. COVERAGE Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), paid holiday, or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the rest of the period, are counted as employed. Persons are not counted as employed who are laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period, or who are hired but do not report to work during the period. Employment, Hours, and Earnings Monthly reports on employment and, for most indus tries, payroll and man-hours «ore obtained from approximately 180,000 establishments. The table below shows the approximate proportion of total employment in each industry division covered by the group of establishments furnishing monthly em ployment data. The coverage for individual Industries within the division may vary from the proportions shown.

Government: Federal (Civil Service Employees Number in sample 22,000 43,900 11,400 — 5,800 Employment estimates are periodically compared with complete counts of employment In the various industries defined as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indi cated by the total counts or benchmarks. The comparison made for the first 3 months of 1957# the last benchmark adjustment, resulted in changes amounting to 0.5 percent of all nonagricultural employment, identical with the extent of the adjustment to the first quarter 1956 benchmark. The changes were less than 0.5 percent for three of the eight major industry divi sions; under 2 percent for two other divisions; and 3 *2, 3 *3 » and 6.4 percent for the remaining three divisions. The manu facturing total was changed by only 0.1 percent for the second successive year. Within manufacturing, the benchmark and esti mate differed by 1.0 percent or less in 39 of the 132 individ ual industries, 4l industries were adjusted by 1.1 to 2.5 per cent, and an additional 27 industries differed by 2 .6-5.0 percent. One significant cause of differences between the benchmark and estimate is the change in Industrial classifica tion of individual firms, which is usually not reflected in BLS estimates until they are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other causes are sampling and response errors. 47 26 57 The basic sources of benchmark information are the quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are pre pared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supple mentary tabulations prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance are used for the group of establishments exempt from State unemployment Insurance laws because of their nation, hours and earnings estimates may be based on a slightly smaller sample than employment estimates. 2/ State and area estimates of Federal employment are based on 2,300 reports covering 1,430,000 employees, collected through the BLS-State cooperative program. 5-E low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individual industries. small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly ex cluded from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a variety of other sources. The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark quarter (the first quarter of the year) 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. The new benchmark for each in dustry is then 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. Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period or time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit of work or time. The earnings series, however, does not measure the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer since the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various iJfelfare benefits, pay roll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under the production-worker or nonsupervisoryemployee definitions. Seasonal Adjustment Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multi plying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. There fore, weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross average hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and absenteeism. Employment series for many industries reflect a regu larly recurring seasonal movement which can be measured on the basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change in employment which can be ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to clarify the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted employ ment aggregates are published. These estimates are derived by the use of factors based on free-hand adjustments of 12-month moving averages. Seasonal factors are available on request. 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 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. Industry Hours and Earnings Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers or nonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. When the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures are reduced to a weekly basis. Average Overtime Hours Production and Related Workers include working fore men and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, in spection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman 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. The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross average weekly hours which were in excess of regular 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 definition, the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the same direction from month to month; for example, premiums may be paid for hours in excess of the straight-time workday although less than a full week is worked. Diverse trends on the industry-group 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, absen teeism, and labor turnover may not have the same influence on overtime hours as on gross hours. Nonsupervisory Employees include employees (not above the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attend ants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and other employees 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 re ceived pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind, e.g., old-age and unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding tax, bonds, and union dues; also in cluded 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 pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded. Spendable Average Weekly Earnings Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security 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 ais on the level of his gross income. To reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed for two types of Income receivers--a worker with no dependents, and a worker with three dependents. The computations are based on the gross average weekly earnings for all production and re lated workers in manufacturing, mining, or contract construc tion without regard to marital status, family composition, or total family income. Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, during the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for pro duction, construction, and nonsupervisory workers. The manhours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly from the firm. Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of pro duction and related workers during the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Overtime hours are those for which premiums were paid because the hours were in excess of the number of hours of either the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend and holiday hours are included only if pre mium wage rates were paid. Hours for which only shift differ ential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded. "Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index into the earnings average for the current month. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 19^7-49 dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base period. Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime pay are computed by dividing the total production-worker pay roll for the industry group by the sum of total productionworker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January 1956, data were based on the application of adjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, PP* 537-540). Both methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No ad justment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and non manufacturing industries are on a "gross" basis, reflecting 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. Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and 6-E holiday vork, late-shift vork, and overt1b» rates other than time and one-half. Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours The Indexes of aggregate veekly payrolls and man-hours are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the monthly average for the 1947-49 period. The man-hour aggregates are the product of average weekly hours and production-vorker employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of gross average veekly earnings and production-vorker employment. Railroad Hours and Earnings The figures for Class I railroads (excluding svitching and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in the M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and re late 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 veekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a veekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above. Gross average veekly earnings are derived by multiplying average veekly hours by average hourly earnings. Labor Turnover Labor turnover Is the gross movement of vage and salary vorkers into and out of employment status vith respect to individual establishments. This movement, vhich relates to a calendar month, is divided into tvo broad types: Accessions (nev hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employ ment 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, vhether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production vorkers. Transfers to another establishment of the conpany are included beginning vith January 1959. Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits, layoffs, and other separations, as defined belov. Quits are terminations of employment initiated by employees, failure to report after being hired, 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 vithout pay lasting or ex pected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by the employer vithout prejudice to the vorker. Other separations, vhich are not published separately but are included in total separations, are terminations of em ployment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 consecutive calendar days. Accessions are the total number of permanent and tem porary additions to the employment roll including both nev and rehired employees. Nev hires are temporary or permanent additions to the employment roll of former employees not recalled by the em ployer, or persons vho have never before been employed in the establishment, except for those transferred from other estab lishments of the company. Other accessions, vhich are not published separately but are included in total accessions, are all additions to the employment roll vhich are not classified as nev hires. Comparability With Employment Series Month-to-month changes in total employment in manu facturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable vith the changes shovn in the Bureau's employment series for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separa tions are computed for the entire calendar month; the employ ment reports refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month; (2 ) the turnover sample excludes certain industries (see Coverage, p. 5-E); (3) plants on strike are not included in the turnover computations beginning vith the month the strike starts through the month the vorkers return; the influence of such stoppages is reflected, however, in the employment figures. STATISTICS FOR STATES A N D AREAS State and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in cooperation vith BLS. Additional industry detail may be ob tained from the State agencies listed on the inside back cover. 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 offi cial U.S. totals be'cause of differences in the timing of bench mark adjustments, slightly varying methods of computation, and, since January 1959# * different classification system. (See Industrial Classification, p. 5-E.)
