EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTS
August 1961
THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: AUGUST 1 6
91
Employment increased seasonally in the nonfarm sector of the economy in
August, although auto employment was down due to an early model changeover. At
the same time, unemployment dropped seasonally but remained at a relatively high
level.
Detailed statistics for the month showed that the number of workers on
nonfarm payrolls rose by almost 300, 000 to 53.4 million from July to August. Most
of this rise was seasonal, but there were better-than-seasonal increases in primary
metals and in electrical equipment, together with a small rise--instead of the normal
decline--in the machinery industry. By contrast with these gains, there was an
over-the-month drop of 100,000 workers in the transportation equipment industry
as assembly lines were prepared for new model automobile production. The usual
sharp expansion was recorded in food processing, construction, and apparel
manufacture, along with smaller increases in other manufacturing industries.
The manufacturing workweek, at 4011 hours in August, was not significantly
changed over the month, and weekly earnings at $93. 83 were also about the same
as in July. This was the second month in which hours and earnings were little
changed, following a period of sharp rise earlier in the year.
As reported on August 29, total employment held steady over the month at
68. 5 millio'n, a record level for August. Total nonagricultural employment-including the self-employed, domestics, and unpaid family workers--was also
higher than in any previous August at 62. 2 million. Among the nonfarm employed
were 3. 1 million on part time either because their work schedules had been cut
back or because they could not find full-time jobs. Agricultural employment, at
6. 3 million, was not significantly changed over the month and was at its lowest
August level on record.
Unemployment fell seasonally by 600, 000 over the month to 4. 5 million in
August. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment was unchanged at 6. 9
percent, about the same as it has been for 9 successive months. The seasonally
adjusted rate for adult men, at 6. 1 percent, has also remained at about the same
level for this length of time. In May I960, before unemployment started to rise,
the unemployment rate for adult men was 4. 2 percent.
Long-term unemployment (15 weeks and over) declined by 200,000 to 1.4
million in August, a better than seasonal improvement. Included among the longterm unemployed were 900, 000 persons who had been without jobs for more than
half a year. This total was down 100, 000 over the month but was still one-half
million higher than a year ago and close to the postwar high for the month reached 1958.
State insured unemployment fell by 175, 000 to 1. 8 million in mid-August.
In addition, there were 443,000 jobless workers receiving benefits under the
Temporary Extended Unemployment Compensation program. These programs do
not include students and other new jobseekers or those who have exhausted their
benefit rights or who are not eligible for benefits.

Insured under following programs: State unemployment insurance, unemployment compensation for Federal employees, veterans, ex-servicemen,
railroad workers (RRB) and temporary programs.
Beginning in January 1960, data include Alaska and Hawaii
Nonfarm Payroll Employment
Most of the rise in the number of workers on nonfarm payrolls took place in
manufacturing industries, where employment increased by 260, 000 to 16. 2 million
in August.
Nearly all durable goods industries reported employment increases in August,
but the aggregate increase was small because of the drop of 100, 000 in the transportation equipment industry. Prior to 1959, the effect of auto plant layoffs for model
changeovers was seen in the employment statistics for September or later months.
Although the shutdown period has been reflected in the August figures since 1959, the
concentration of layoffs was greater during the August employment survey period
this year. While most rises in other durable goods industries were seasonal, there
were better-than-seasonal gains in primary metals and the machinery industries.
Employment in nondurable goods industries rose seasonally by 225, 000 to
7. 1 million in August. The largest gains (100, 000) were in food processing, as
canning factories neared their peak. Apparel also showed a seasonal increase in
employment (60,000). Among nonmanufacturing industries, the only substantial
change was a seasonal rise of 60, 000 in contract construction.
Although the total number of employees on nonfarm payrolls was back to its
year-ago level, many of the recession-affected industries have not yet achieved full
recovery. On the other hand, there has been expansion in finance, service, and
government. Finance and service were each up by 50, 000 from August 1960, while
government has gained more than 300, 000 employees, about 50, 000 of these in the
Federal service and the remainder mainly in the eductional systems of State and
local governments. Despite recent gains, manufacturing employment is still
nearly 200, 000 below its year ago level, transportation is down 80, 000 and trade is
50, 000 below August I960.
Most of the over-the-year declines in manufacturing employment were in
the durable goods sector, the largest being in machinery (40, 000J and transportation
equipment (85, 000). (Part of the latter decline was due to the greater number of
layoffs for model changeover in the survey week this August. ) Although employment
in primary metals is back to its year-ago level,it is still about 130, 000 lower than
its February 1960 peak, since the heaviest layoffs in the steel industry occurred in
the early part of 1960.
Factory hours and Earnings
Changes in the workweek were mainly small and seasonal in most major
manufacturing industries between July and August. The overall factory average
was almost unchanged over the month at 40.1 hours in August. The workweek has
been virtually stable since June, after having risen sharply (by 1 full hour) earlier
in the year, seasonally adjusted. The workweek in August was 0. 3 of an hour
higher than in August 1960. Hours of work in primary metals were up by 2. 3
hours from an 11-year low for the month in August I960. Significant but more
moderate recovery was registered in the lumber, textile, paper, and rubber
industries.

* Workweek affected by unusually severe weather.
Overtime hours were not significantly changed over the month or over the
year at 2. 5 hours in August.
Hourly earnings averaged $2. 34, about the same as in June and July, and
average weekly earnings were substantially steady over the month at $93. 83.
Weekly earnings in August 1961 were nearly $3. 50 higher than in August 1960, with
increases of $12 per week in primary metals, and $5 to $8 per week in rubber,
petroleum products, and ordnance. Most of the large increase in primary metals
resulted from a gain of 2. 3 hours in the workweek, but the increase in wage rates,
and greater overtime work at premium pay were also factors,
Une mployme nt
Unemployment at 4. 5 million was 750, 000 higher than in August a year ago.
About half the rise in unemployment over the year was accounted for by workers
whose last job was in manufacturing and related industries. The other half was
among new workers and those whose last work experience was in trade or service.
The increase in unemployment over the year was evenly divided between adult men
on the one hand, and women and teenagers on the other.
The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment has now been at a high
plateau of almost 7 percent for 9 consecutive months. This period of high unemployment has been more protracted than in the previous recovery in 1958 (when the
rate was over 7 percent for six months),
The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment among adult men has also been
virtually unchanged since December I960 at about 6 percent. The unemployment
rate for adult men is nearly always slightly lower than the rate for adult women
and is generally less than half that of teenage workers (the latter had a rate of

about 15 percent in August). On the other hand, the unemployment rate for teenagers
moved up only slightly during the recession whereas that for adult workers rose by
about 40 percent.
Duration of Unemployment. Among the 4. 5 million unemployed in August
were 1. 7 million who had been seeking work less than 5 weeks. These short-term
unemployed represented 37 percent of the jobless total. This ratio is not unusual
for a post-recession recovery period butj.s far below the typical short-term unemployment rate in prosperous years (about 50 percent) when a higher proportion of
the unemployed are job changers, new entrants to the labor market, seasonal
workers, and the like.
Of continuing concern is the large number of long-term unemployed--the
1. 4 million who in August had been without jobs for 15 weeks or longer and in
particular the 900, 000 who had been out of work for 6 months or longer. The latter
represented 20 percent of the unemployed in July and August 1961 whereas in years
when overall unemployment was less than 4. 5 percent (such as 1955-57 and 1951-53)
these very long term unemployed made up less than 10 percent of the jobless total.
Moreover, the number out of work for more than half a year has been at 900, 000 or
higher for 5 consecutive months in 1961, an unprecedented situation in the postwar
period.
As in previous months, there was a disproportionate concentration of the
very long term unemployed in particular worker categories. For example:
1. Older men 45 years of age and over made up 33 percent of the very
long-term unemployed as compared with 25 percent of the labor force. This
pattern is evident under all economic conditions and in fact the disproportion is
even greater in nonrecession years. Long-term unemployment rises more sharply
among younger workers during recessions, perhaps because of the younger worker's
lower seniority and lower position on the recall rosters.
2. Nonwhite workers made up over 20 percent of the unemployed without jobs
27 weeks or longer but only 11 percent of the labor force. This has been a fairly
persistent pattern throughout the postwar period.
3. Semiskilled operatives and unskilled nonfarm laborers represented
nearly half the very long-term unemployed but only one-fourth of the labor force.
Conversely, white-collar workers, farmers, and farm laborers are a disproportionately small part of the long-term unemployed. These observations are also consistent with those of previous years under many different economic conditions.
4. Workers last employed in durable goods manufacturing also figure
disproportionately among those unemployed 6 months or longer (28 percent in
contrast to 13 percent of the labor force). Similarly, workers from construction,
mining, and transportation are a larger proportion of the long-term unemployed
than of the labor force. The problem of very long-term unemployment among hard
goods factory workers was much more serious this August than a year ago, but not
as bad as in 1958 when they accounted for 37 percent of the total unemployed 6
months or longer.
5. Persons with no previous work experience accounted for 6 percent of the
long-term unemployed but less than 1 percent of the civilian labor force. These
are chiefly young workers in search of their first jobs.

Insured Unemployment
State insured unemployment decreased by 175, 000 between July and August
to 1. 8 million, largely due to the reopening of plants which had been closed for
vacation periods. The decline was about normal for this time of year despite the
earlier than usual model change layoffs in auto plants. It is estimated that
205,000 persons exhausted their regular state benefits in August, compared with
209, 000 in July and 127, 000 in August a year ago.
In addition to the insured unemployed under regular programs, 443,000
persons who had exhausted their State benefits were insured under the Temporary
Extended Compensation (TEC) program in mid-August. This volume was down
from 520, OU0 in mid-July.
All but 10 States reported a decline in regular insured unemployment over
the month. The largest reductions occurred in New York (48, 000) Pennsylvania (27, 000)
and Massachusetts (23, 000). This decline mainly reflected a seasonal pickup in
soft goods industries, particularly textiles, apparel, leather, and food processing.
New York and Massachusetts also reported a sizable number of recalls in
electrical machinery plants, while Pennsylvania noted hiring in the metals industries.
The only sizable increase in insured unemployment--39, 000 in Michigan--was
attributed to unemployment in auto plants during the changeover. The national rate
of insured unemployment (not seasonally adjusted) moved down from 4. 9 to 4. 5
percent between July and August. In August a year ago,it was 4. 2 percent.
Michigan and Puerto Rico had the highest rates, 7. 7 percent each, followed by
Pennsylvania with 6. 3 percent and Maine with 6.1 percent. Three other large
industrial States had rates above national average--California (5.1 percent), and
New Jersey and New York (4. 6 percent each).
Total Employment
As noted earlier, total nonagricultural employment at 62. 2 million in August
1961 was at a record level for the month, 400, 000 above a year ago. On a seasonally
adjusted basis, the total nonfarm employed has just about returned to its prerecession
peak reached in the Spring of 1960. However, nonfarm employment would have to
expand by at least 1-1/4 million each year to absorb the new workers added to the
labor force and those displaced by rising agricultural productivity. Moreover, in
order to reduce total and long-term unemployment to the proportions existing before
the 1957-58 recession, another 2 million nonfarm jobs would have to be found for
unemployed workers (including 700,000 of the very long-term unemployed). In this
connection, it is significant that about three-fifths of the long-term unemployed last
worked in manual (blue-collar) occupations and in goods-producing and closely
related industries. Some of these areas of employment have been experiencing
a cyclical recovery but they have not been and are not expected to be the principal
sources of long-term job growth.
The white-collar occupations, which have accounted for most of the secular
growth in employment, have shown virtually no further expansion during the past
year. This slowdown in white-collar job growth is fairly typical during recessionary
periods. White-collar workers are not usually subject jto the widespread layoffs
which affect production workers; however, among the effects of a recession are the
xi
the postponement of some hiring plans and the failure to replace some white-collar
workers who die, retire* or leave their jobs for other reasons.
This levelling-off pattern can also be seen in employment trends for women.
Since April of this year, the number of women employed in nonfarm industries has
been averaging about the same as in 1960. This contrasts with a job gain of about
one million among women from the comparable period of 1959 to I960. The absence
of any further uptrend in 1961 extended to all age groups, including women 45 to 64
years of age. This group had shown sizable and persistent increases in the number
holding nonfarm jobs prior to the recession which began in mid-1960.
Full and Part-Time Employment
The number of nonfarm workers on full-time schedules1 rose by 1 million
between July and August to 47. 9 million, mainly as a result of the return from
summer vacations. However, the number scheduled for full time was no higher
than a year ago. If we include persons with jobs but not at work (on vacation,
sick leave, etc. ) as full-time workers, full-time employment would show a decline
of about 400, 000.
At the same time, the number of workers on part-time schedules rose by
800, 000 from a year earlier. The total on part time for economic reasons (3.1
million) was up by 250, 000 over the year, while those working part-time
voluntarily, or for noneconomic reasons, showed an increase of 550, 000 from a
year ago to 4. 8 million. The rise in voluntary part-time employment since
August 1960 has occurred entirely among women and teenagers.
At present,about 5 percent of the nonfarm employed are on part time for
economic reasons as compared with 4 percent in the full employment period
before the 1957-58 recession. Thus, to restore the employment conditions prevailing at that earlier time would also involved reducing the number involuntarily
working part time (and correspondingly raising the number with full-time jobs)
by at least 700,000. As the chart on page v i i i shows, the problem is not mainly among
full-time workers cut back to part time. This group changes sharply in line with
changes in business conditions but has shown no tendency toward a long-term uptrend.
At 1. 2 million in August 1961, it was virtually the same as in A u g u s t 5 years
earlier. Further lengthening of hours among production workers in manufacturing
and other basic industries may reduce the number on part time for economic reasons
in the coming months, but there would still be a substantial problem remaining.
In August 1961, there were still 1. 9 million persons regularly working part
time involuntarily who want full time work. They include persons who could find
only part-time work, persons in chronically slack occupations or industries, and
persons who used to work full-time but have been on part time so long that they
could no longer say they usually work full time. Their number was the largest on
record for August, about 800, 000 higher than in 1956.
Only a small part of the increase in this type of part-time employment could
be attributed to the growth and changing composition of the labor force over the past

Those who worked 35 hours or more and those who usually work 35 hours
or more but did not during the survey week because of temporary noneconomic
reasons (bad weather, illness, vacations, etc.)
xii
5 years, the proportion of the labor force in this category has also risen significantly. Although most of these regular, involuntary, part-time workers are
women and teenagers, in August I960 about a third were adult men and the latter
have accounted for a disproportionate share of the increase since 1956. Because
they generally average only 16-18 hours a week and because their jobs by their
very nature usually provide only part-time employment, it is unlikely that many of
them will ever be restored to full-time on their present jobs.
The deficit in full-time jobs can be seen more clearly in the figures for men,
since the great majority of men in the labor force want full-time work. Since 1956,
full-time nonfarm employment among men (including the "with a job but not at work")
has risen by only 300, 000 while the male labor force was rising by 1. 9 million and
farm employment was declining by 600, 000. Most of the short fall in full-time job
opportunities for men was reflected in a 1. 3 million increase in unemployment, but
there was also a 600, 000 rise in part time for economic reasons. (Voluntary part
time rose by only 300, 000.)

Labor Force
The civilian labor force, which includes both the employed and the unem-i
ployed, declined by 600, 000 in August to 73.1 million. A drop of about this amount
is customary for August, mainly reflecting the withdrawal of school age persons from
the labor market. An even sharper decline is generally expected for September when
the schools are already open.
The labor force in August was 1 million larger than a year earlier. During
the 2nd and 3rd quarters, the labor force has been running approximately 1 million
larger than during the same quarters of 1960. There had been a 2 million year-toyear increase in the 1st quarter, but this mainly reflected the unusually low labor
force level during the 1st quarter of I960.
Practically all of the labor force gain over the year was registered among
young persons under 25 years of age. Women 45 years of age and over showed no
significant increase; between August 1959 and I960, about 1/2 million such women
had been added to the labor force.

published weekly by the Bureau of Employment Security.

*Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Two
groups averaging about one-quarter million workers ,which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work)—those
on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 days—were assigned to different classifications,
mostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.
»Not available.
•Beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduction of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating 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 total and males. Other categories were relatively unaffected.
•Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has
resulted in an Increase of about half a million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in
the labor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciably
changed.

Explanatory Notes
Additional information concerning the preparation of the
labor force,
employment,
hours and earnings, and labor
turnover series—-concepts and scope, survey methods, and
limitations—is contained in technical notes for each of
these series, available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics free of charge.
Use order blank on page 9-E.
INTRODUCTION
hours during the survey week. In the figures based on establishment records, persons who worked In more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each time
their names appear on payrolls.
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
two Major sources: (1) household interviews and (2) payroll
reports from employers.
Data eased on household interviews are obtained fro*
a saaple 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 nuaber of persons Ik 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 interviewers from a saaple of about 35,000 households in^333 areas
throughout the country and Is based on the activity or status
reported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the
month.
Hours of Vork
The household survey measures hours actually worked
whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers.
In the household survey data, all persons with a Job but not at
work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on
paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are Included
and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid
during the reporting period.
Data based on establishment payroll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, in cooperation vith State agencies. The payroll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagricultural vage and salary employment, average weekly hours,
average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for the
Ration, States, and metropolitan areas.
Comparability of the household interview data with other series
The figures are based on payroll reports from a
saaple of 180,000 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 payroll period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total
from the household survey includes all persons who did not work
at all during the survey week and fr&ral 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 unemployment insurance, and persons losing Jobs not covered by unemployment 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 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 aad 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 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.
Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition
of employment comprises wag* and salary workers (including domestics amd other private household workers), self-employed
persons, aad unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during
the survey week In family-operated enterprises. Employment in
both farm and nosfarm industries is included. The payroll survey covers only vage ant salary employees oa the payrolls of
nonfarm establishments.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under IV 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.
tiple
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. Implored 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
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 payroll 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.
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.
its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The major 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 differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the
Census of Business excludes professional services, transportation companies, and financial establishments, while these are
included in BLS statistics.
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 (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, charitable, 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 establishment statistics in the units considered integral parts of an
establishment and in industrial classification. In addition,
CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, interstate 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 unemployment 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 report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were not
in school during the survey week); or (c) would have been looking 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 ]wi 11 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 pro
Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the[
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 32 States. In general, these are establishments 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 represents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latter
classified according to industry and occupation of their latest
full-time civilian job.
COLLECTION AND 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- .
fled 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 noninstltutional population 1^ years and over. Respondents are Interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household Ik years of age
and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the
calendar week, Sunday ^through Saturday, ending nearest the 15 th
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 included as part of the categories "total nonlnstitutional population" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
The sample for CPS is spread over 333 areas comprising 6hl counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50
States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed interviews 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 occupants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporarily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about k 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 montn a year ago.
Not in Labor Force includes all civilians 1^ 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 " o f f 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.
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 I960 .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 industry. 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 class-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 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. This procedure reduces
the sampling variability especially of month-to-month changes
but also of the levels for most items.
Seasonal Adjustment
The seasonal adjustment method used for the 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 patterns. In the
case of unemployment, four age-sex groups (male and female
unemployed workers under age 20 and aged 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then added
to give a seasonally adjusted total unemployment figure. The
seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment (the
sum of the four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the
figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force. A
description of the "basic method was published in the August
i960 Monthly Labor Review; the method for unemployment is discussed on page xii of the February 1961 issue of Employment
and Earnings.
Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example, a person
who normally works kO 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 illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for
full-time work and full-time worker only during peak season.
Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of
the labor force to be applied to data for 1959 and later are
shown in table A. Seasonally adjusted aggregates for these and
other major series for the period July 19^8 through December
i960 are shown on pages xiii through xxiii of the February 1961
issue. These factors and seasonally adjusted data replace
those published in BLS Special Labor Force Report No. 8, New
Seasonal Adjustment Factors for Labor Force Components.

major components, to be used for the period 1959-61
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 percentagejdistributions by independent estimates of the population. The principal 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
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.
Civilian
Month labor

1. Woninterview adjustment. The weights for all_ln.-_-.
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 separately 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 proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5
percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by change,
from that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics as
age, color, sex, and residence. Since these population 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:

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 schedules and procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, 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 procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by the
known 1950 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 Ration 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 approximations 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 estimates 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,

The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed
by using sample data for both numerator and denominator depends
upon both the size of the percentage and the size of the total
upon vhich the percentage is based. Where the numerator is a
subclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are relatively more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates
of the numerator of the percentage, particularly if the percentage 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 figures not shown in table E .
The figures presented in table C are to be used for
other characteristics and are approximations of the standard
errors of a l l 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.

The standard error of the change in an item from one
month to the next month is more closely related to the standard
error of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the
specific month-to-month change Itself. Thus, in order to use
the approximations to the standard errors of month-to-month
changes as presented in table D, i t i s 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 between 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.

ESTABLISHMENT DATA
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on vage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in
nonfarm establishments, by geographic location.
Illustration: Assume that the tables shoved 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 i s about 160,000. Consequently,
the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the figure vhich would
have been obtained from a complete count of the number of persons working the given number of hours would have differed by
less than 160,000 from the sample estimate. Using the 160,000

Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements vith State agencies,
the respondent fills out only 1 employment or labor turnover
schedule, vhich is then used for national, State, and area
estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part of
respondents and, together vith the use of identical techniques
at the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographic
comparability of estimates.
V-E
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 for use in preparing the national series. The BLS and the Bureau of Employment Security Jointly finance the current employment statistics
program in 1 3 States, the turnover program in 1 1 States.

Labor Turnover
Labor turnover reports are received from approximately
10,500 establishments in the manufacturing, mining, and communication industries (see table below). The following manufacturing industries are excluded from the labor turnover sample:
Printing, publishing, and allied industries (since April 19^3);
canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods;
women's and misses' outerwear; and fertilizer.

each year on a product supplement to the monthly 790 or 1219 report. In the case of 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 most important product or activity.

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 accordance with the following documents: (1) For manufacturing,
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Volume I, Bureau of
the Budget, 19^5, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, Industrial
Classification Code, Social Security Board, 19**2. 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-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 15th 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, unpaid 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 separately, 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 empllyed. 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 industries, payroll and man-hours are 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 employment data. The coverage for individual industries within
the division may vary from the proportions shown.

Employment estimates are periodically compared with
complete counts of employment in the various industries defined
as nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indicated 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 divisions; under 2 percent for two othe.r divisions; and 3.2, 3.3,
and 6.4 percent for the remaining three divisions. The manufacturing total was changed by only 0.1 percent for the second
successive year. Within manufacturing, the benchmark and estimate differed by 1.0 percent or less in 39 of the 132 individual industries, 1 1 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 classification of individual firms, which is usually not reflected In BLS
estimates until they are adjusted to new benchmarks. Other
cause8 are sampling and response errors.

The basic sources of benchmark information are the
quarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled
by State agencies from reports of establishments covered under
State unemployment Insurance laws. These tabulations are prepared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supplementary 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

smaller sample than employment estimates.

Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excluded from the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a
variety of other sources.
Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are on a "gross"i^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
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.
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 industry 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 of 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 welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees
not covered under the production-worker or nonsupervisoryemployee definitions.
Seasonal Adjustment
Employment series for many industries reflect a regularly 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 employment 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.
jffross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross
average hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of
the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes,
labor turnover, and absenteeism.
The new adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving
average method presently used for the labor force and weekly
hours series (see pages 3-E and 7-E) will eventually be applied
to the industry employment series. In order to avoid an interim
revision, the shift to the new seasonal adjustment method for
the latter series will be made at the time the series are converted to the 1957 Standard Industrial Classification in 1961.
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 foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and
trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, 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 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.
Nonsupervisory Employees include employees (not above
the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical
workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attendants, 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 received 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 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 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 a s 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 related workers in manufacturing, mining, or contract construction 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 production, 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.
"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-^9dollars Is thus adjusted for changes In purchasing power since
the base period.
Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of production 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 premium wage rates were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums
[were paid are excluded.
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime
6-E
pay are computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll 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. 537-5^0).
Both methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid
for at one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as
holiday work, lfete-shift work, and overtime rates'other than
time and one-half.
absences, if on the last day of the month the person has Veen
absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated
by the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations of
employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death,
retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company,
and- entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than
30 consecutive calendar days.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours
are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 19^7-^9 period. The man-hour aggregates
are the product of average weekly hours and production-worker
employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of gross
average weekly earnings and production-worker employment.
Railroad Hours and Earnings
The figures for Class I railroads (excluding switching
and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in
the M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate to all employees who received pay during the month except
executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC Group I ) .
Gross average hourly earnings are computed by dividing total
compensation by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are
obtained by 'dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced
to a weekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average
weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Seasonal adjustment
Seasonally adjusted average weekly hours for selected
industries were introduced in the July i960 issue of Employment
and Earnings. The new adaptation of the standard ratio-tomoving average method used for the labor force series (see page
3-E) was also used to adjust the weekly hours data for
seasonality.
Labor Turnover
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employment 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.
Transfers to another establishment of the company are included
beginning with January 1959*
Separations are terminations of employment during the
calendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,
layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized
7E
-
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 former employees not recalled by the employer, or persons who have never before been employed in the
establishment, except for those transferred from other establishments of the company.
Other accessions, which are not published separately
but are Included in total accessions, are all additions to the
employment roll which are not classified as new hires.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not
comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employment
series for the following reasons: (l) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment 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 with the month the strike
8tarts through the month the workers 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 with BLS. Additional industry detail may be obtained 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
equivalent official U.S. totals because of differences in the
timing of benchmark adjustments, slightly varying methods of
computation, and, since January 1959> a different classification system. (See Industrial Classification, p. 5-E.)
For Alaska and Hawaii, satisfactory employment
estimates cannot be derived by subtracting the U.S. totals
without Alaska and Hawaii from the totals including the 2 new
States.
