SUMMARY EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT
DEVELOPMENTS, AUGUST 1987
Employment showed moderate gains in
August for the third consecutive month,
while the unemployment rate edged down to
3.8 percent, the same as a year ago.
producing industries. In contrast, employment in the goods-producing industries is
down over the year after a large increase
in 1966.
Payroll employment rose by 300,000
(seasonally adjusted) to a new high in August.
About half of the improvement, however,
was attributable to the return of strikers in
the rubber industry and an earlier than usual
model changeover in the auto industry. Continued increases in government, services,
and trade accounted for the rest of the gain.
Manufacturing continued to r e c o v e r its
losses of early spring, although both employment and hours of work are still significantly below levels of the last quarter
of 1966.
In August, payroll employment rose
300,000 (seasonally adjusted) to 66,250,000.
Services and government increased 60,000
and 40,000, respectively. An employment increase of 35,000 in construction was slightly
below seasonal expectations for August. Although the housing industry appears to be
recovering, construction employment has
continued to lag behind year-earlier levels.
Gains in residential construction are being
partially offset by reduced activity in commercial and industrial construction.
The number of unemployed persons fell
seasonally between July and August to 2.9
million. Since December 1965, unemployment has fluctuated between 2.7 and 3.1 million (seasonally adjusted) and the unemployment rate between 3.5 and 4.0 percent.
The unemployment rate for nonwhites
(Negroes make up 92 percent of the total)
was 6.9 percent in August. Though down from
the May-June rate of 7.8 percent, the rate
continues twice as high as that for whites.
Industry Employment
Over the past year, the major sources
of employment strength have been government, at all levels, and the s e r v i c e -
Mainly because of early model changeovers in the auto industry and the settlement of strikes in the rubber industry,
manufacturing showed a job gain of 186,000
(seasonally adjusted) b e t w e e n July and
August. Manufacturing e mp 1 oy m e n t has
moved up somewhat from the low May level,
but was still down 200,000 from the January
peak of 19.6 million.
Excessive inventories--the p r i n c i p a l
drag on production, employment, and hours
in recent months--are now under better
control and both sales and new orders have
improved. Reflecting this, the average factory workweek edged up to 40.6 hours in
August after returning in June to February's
3-year low of 40.3 hours.

Hours and Earnings
In August, the workweek for rank and file
employees on private payrolls averaged
38.6 hours, down 0.5 hour from the August
1966 level. Despite the drop in hours, weekly
earnings--at $103.05--were up $3.35 over
the year. Both the weekly and hourly earnings of factory production workers were
unchanged from the June levels of $114.50
and $2.82. Over the year, factory workers'
weekly earnings were up $2.70.
Unemployment
The number of u n e m p l o y e d workers
totaled 2,950,000 in August, up 1 20,000 from
August 1966. Among them were 1.0 million
adult men, 1.1 million adult women, and
900,000 teenagers (16 to 19 years of age).
Unemployment among nonwhites numbered
630,000 in August, one-fifth of the jobless
total.
Unemployment rates for adult men were
unchanged over the month at 2.4 percent.
For married men, the rate was 2.0 percent.
For women, the rate moved down to 3.9 percent, while the teenage rate rose to 13.7
percent.
The job situation for well-trained and
experienced workers remained relatively
Week Ended
good in August, The unemployment rate was
2.2 percent for white-collar workers and
2.4 percent for skilled craftsmen. Workers
with less skill and experience did not fare
as well. The unemployment rate for semiskilled blue-collar workers was 4.8 percent, while unskilled workers had a rate of
7.8 percent.
Insured Unemployment
Insured unemployment under State programs declined to 1.1 million in midAugust. The insured unemployment rate, at
2,7 percent seasonally adjusted, was down
slightly over the month.
Thirty-six States reported smaller insured jobless volumes than in the preceding
month, with the most substantial declines
reported by New York (31,600), Pennsylvania (17,300), M a s s a c h u s e t t s (15,700),
North Carolina (9,700), and New Jersey
(8,100). The largest over-the-month rise
was Michigan's 11,800.
Compared with a year earlier, all but
seven States had greater volumes of insured
joblessness; the largest rises were posted
by Ohio (15,600), Pennsylvania (15,300),
California (14,500), and Illinois (11,000).
New York showed the greatest reduction-5,400.

THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION FOR NEGROES
by Susan S. Holland*
During the past decade, employment
gains for Negro workers \J have been substantial. There has also been a significant
movement t o w a r d better quality jobs.
Nevertheless, in 1966 two-thirds of all
Negro workers were employed in semiskilled, unskilled, or service jobs. Moreover, the c o m p a r a t i v e disadvantage of
Negroes--in terms of the type of jobs they
hold--has lessened only slightly in the past
10 years. The unemployment rate for Negro
workers has been about twice as high as that
for whites since 1954. While the Negro-white
unemployment disadvantage prevails in all
age groups, it is most striking among
teenagers.
Employment by Age and Sex
In the last 10 years, total Negro employment rose by 1.3 million or about 20 percent.
In percentage t e r m s , the increase in Negro
employment was larger than that for whites,
which was 15-1/2 percent. However, Negro
teenage employment did not rise as rapidly
as employment of white teenagers. The
employment of white 14-19 year-olds rose
by 49 percent between 1956 and 1966, whereas Negro teenage employment increased by
only 19 percent.
Negroes have in finding jobs. This is apparent from, an examination of employment,
unemployment, or unemployment r a t e s . It
is not a new problem, but one that has been
present since the late 1950's. The unemployment rate for Negro teenagers rose sharply
in 1958, and, from 1958 through 1966, it
remained between 24 and 30 percent. In other
words, 1 out of 4 Negro youngsters seeking
work is unsuccessful. The other side of the
coin is the relatively slow increase in the
employment of Negro youngsters.
A few of the factors contributing to the
unfortunate job situation of Negro youth a r e :
(1) their educational backgrounds are usually
more limited than those of white teenagers;
(2) Negroes of all ages a r e concentrated
more than whites in city slums and rural
areas where job opportunities are less abundant; (3) in many areas Negroes continue to
face racial discrimination in hiring; and (4)
Negro young people, especially those who
finish high school, maybe reluctant to accept
the low skilled and low paying jobs offered
to them.
The movement of new jobs into the suburbs and out of the central city in the last
decade has been documented by a recent

study. 2j The steady trend of the concentration of new factory and commercial
buildings in the ring of metropolitan areas
rather than in the central cities is evidenced
by the value of building permits issued. This
concentration represent a large capital investment, leading to substantial increases
in suburban employment, especially in in-

today's job market is the difficulty young
\J Statistics for nonwhite workers from
the Current Population Survey are used to
measure the employment of Negro workers.
Negroes constitute about 92 percent of all
nonwhites in the United States.

distant and difficult to reach.
each in semiskilled jobs ("operatives") and
in service activities. The employment of
Negroes in agriculture fell by 500,000 or 50
percent during the decade. Within the service category, there was also a decline of
50,000 household workers, indicating a
movement of Negro women out of domestic
service j o b s and into more desirable
openings.
Young Negroes also have difficulty in
finding jobs because they do not have the
contacts and connections in the employment
market which most white youngsters have.
Many young people locate jobs through
personal connections and referrals. Afriend
or relative informs the young jobseeker of
an opening or arranges an employment
interview for him. Young Negroes are less
likely than whites to have these contacts
that frequently lead to good jobs.
Despite the continued movement of Negro
workers into more desirable jobs, it is evident that their occupational upgrading is a
painfully slow process. At the end of the
decade studied, only 21 percent of the employed Negroes held white-collor jobs, compared to 47 percent of the white workers.
Similarly, among skilled craftsmen and
foremen the proportions were 7-1/2 percent
for Negroes and 13-1/2 percent for whites.
In 1966, nearly half (47.6 percent) of all employed Negroes were in household work,
other service occupations, or in laboring
jobs. Only 17 percent of the employed whites
were in service or laboring jobs in 1966.
Employment by Occupation
The objective of the equal employment
opportunity principle is that Negroes should
have an opportunity to move into the better
jobs--those with better pay, better chances
for advancement, more security, and more
dignity. Traditionally, the majority of Negroes have been concentrated at the bottom
of the occupational ladder--in household
work, other service occupations, agricultural labor, and unskilled labor in the cities.
Table 2 shows the relative share of the
jobs held by Negroes in each occupation.
Since Negroes held 10.8 percent of all jobs
in 1966, they were "under-represented" in
the occupations with smaller percentages
(all the white-collar and skilled-labor categories), and "over-represented" in those
with larger percentages (all the semiskilled,
unskilled, and service activities, as well as
farm laborers).
Between 1956 and 1966, Negroes made
significant employment gains in some whitecollar and skilled-labor fields, as compared
to the low level of Negro employment at the
beginning of the period. As table 1 illustrates, Negro job gains and their occupational upgrading were more rapid in the
1961-66 period than in previous years. The
great majority of Negroes remain in unskilled, semiskilled, and service occupations, however.
3 / Statistics based on major occupational groupings mask important differences
within the groups. In most cases, Negroes
are concentrated in the least skilled and
least desirable detailed occupations within
each major grouping. For example, in the
service worker except private household
group, Negroes are over-represented in
such occupations as p o r t e r s , janitors,
chambermaids and kitchen workers. Whites
in this occupation, in contrast, are primarily protective service workers (policemen, firemen, and guards), barbers, hairdressers, and waiters or waitresses.
Table 1 shows the number of Negroes in
each occupational group and the extent of
change between 1956 and 1966.3/ The net
increase of 1.3 million jobs over this period
included gains of about 325,000 in professional and technical occupations, 400,000 in
clerical positions, 250,000 in skilled-labor
jobs ("craftsmen and foreman"), and 350,000.

1961 and 1966 data are based on
Negroes or any other population group
would never be expected to have strictly proportional representation in all occupations.
If the principle of equal opportunity is translated into results, however, Negroes will
gradually obtain a more equal share of the
better paid jobs.
There is a clear-cut tendency, in the long
run, toward upgrading the occupational composition of the labor force as a whole. This
means that, if Negores are to obtain a proportionate share of the better paid jobs, they
will have to upgrade more rapidly than
whites.

was still disproportionately heavy in these
occupations.
Table 2 shows that substantial gains have
been recorded for Negro workers in the
professional, clerical, and skilled craftsmen occupations. Relatively little progress
has been made in two white-collar occupations, however. In 1966, Negro workers
constituted only about 3 percent of the 12
million managerial and sales workers.
Despite improvements in certain occupations, at the recent rate of progress, manyyears would elapse before the Negroes

Table 2 is a more exacting test of equal
opportunity than table 1. The difference can
be illustrated by the case of laboring jobs.
The number of Negro farm laborers fell by
300,000 or 46 percent from 1956 to 1966
(table 1); however, the proportion of all farm
laboring jobs held by Negroes declined very
little--from 23 to 20 percent (table 2). The
picture is similar for Negroes in nonfarm
laboring jobs and private household work.

Trends in Negro Unemployment
Throughout the postwar period, unemployment has consistently fallen most heavily on the Negro worker. Nonwhite s are
only 11 percent of the civilian labor force
but usually account for over 20 percent
of the jobless total, and their unemploy14
ment rate typically has been at least
double the jobless rate of white workers.
Comparative Unemployment Among
Whites and Negroes
The Negro unemployment rate--7.3 percent in the first 8 months of 1967--was
unchanged from the 1966 aver age..4/ The
most recent quarterly averages were 7.3
percent in the fourth quarter of 1966,
7.0 percent in the first quarter of 1967,
and 7.7 percent in the second quarter of
1967, The Negro rate, which fluctuates
widely over the short run, dropped back
to 7.1 percent in July and August 1967.
The unemployment rate for all workers-both white and Negro--has showed little
change since early 1966. However, the present jobless rate for Negroes is well below the 1964 and 1965 rates (table 3).
Moreover, the 7.3 percent rate of 1966
and 1967 is the lowest Negro unemployment rate since the Korean war period.
Although there has been a pronounced
drop in adult Negro unemployment rates
since 1964, the adult white rates have
also declined. Therefore, despite the improved job situation for Negro men and women, their unemployment rates have r e mained about double the white rates. In the
first 8 months of 1967, the ratio of the Negro
adult male unemployment rate to that for
white men was 2.1 to 1, about the same as
the ratio in 1965 and 1966 (table 3). The 1967
ratio was somewhat below the 2.3 to 1 of
1964; however, no real progress has been
made in reducing the differential in the last
2-1/2 years. The rate for Negro women has
remained just about twice the rate for white
women since 1964.
Although the declines in adult Negro
and white jobless rates have been roughly
parallel in recent years, this has not
been true for youth. The rate for white
16-19 year-olds has declined steadily-from 14.8 percent in 1964 to 10.5 in the
first 8 months of 1967. For Negro teenagers, the jobless rate has remained high
and about steady (between 25 and 27 percent) for the last 3-l/2 years. The 1967
rate for white 16-19 year-olds was about
equal to the 1956 low, while the Negro
rate (26.0 percent) was well above that
of 1956 (18.2 percent). Correspondingly,
the ratio between the two groups' rates
has deteriorated. In both 1956 and 1964,
the Negro teenage rate was slightly less
than twice as high as the white rate (1.8
to 1). In 1965, the Negro teenage rate was
double the white rate; it was 2.3 times
as high in 1966 and, by the first 8 months
of 1967, the gap had widened to 2.5 to 1.
The employment situation for adult Negro workers improved steadily from 1961
to 1966; especially large gains occurred in
the 1964-66 period. The rate for adult Negro
men, 4.4 percent in the first 8 months of
1967, was substantially below the 7.7 percent
rate of 1964 and the 7.3 percent recorded in
1956. For adult Negro women, the jobless
rate was 6.8 percent in 1967, downfrom9.0
percent in 1964 and also below the 1956 rate.
The unemployment picture for Negro
teenagers, however, has not responded
significantly to the general improvement
of the past few years. In the first 8
months of 1967, their unemployment rate
was 26.9 percent, almost unchanged from,
the 1964-66 rates and up from 18.2 percent
in 1956.
Aj Data in the unemployment section
pertain to persons 16 years of age and over,
while the employment section contained data
for workers 14 years and over. Unemployment rates are practically the same whether
a 14 or 16 year age cutoff is used. Jobless
rates for months and quarters of 1967 are
seasonally adjusted.
Negro Unemployment in the Cities
The national averages show that Negro
jobless rates are twice as high as those
for whites and that, despite the strong
economic expansion of the last few years,
Negroes have been unsucessful in closing
this gap. In many cities in the United States,

however, the Negro employment picture is
even more serious than is shown by the
national figures.
In the last year, the Labor Department has conducted or sponsored a number
of studies on employment and unemployment in the urban areas. Two recent
studies of the job situation in large U.S.
cities are summarized below. Current information to update the findings for these
areas will be forthcoming within the next
few months.
Poverty areas of the 100 largest cities.5/
In March 1966, the unemployment rate for
workers living in poverty areas of big cities
(250,000 population or more) was 7.5 per-
1.8
cent--about double the rate for the U.S. as
a whole. The job situation was even more
unfavorable
among Negroes. By almost
every measure
of economic ' well-being
available through the survey, Negroes in
5/ These findings are based on special
tabulations of data collected in the March
1966 Current Population Survey, in which
poverty tracts were identified in SMSA's
with a population of 250,000 or more, and
the employment characteristics of persons
living there were compared with those of
city dwellers outside the poverty tracts.
See "Poverty Areas of our Major Cities" in
the October 1966 Monthly Labor Review,
pp. 1105-1110.

poverty areas were less well off than whites
in the same type of area: Negroes had higher
unemployment rate s and le s s de sir able j ob s;
they worked shorter hours; and Negro men
in the central age groups had lower labor
force participation rates and higher disability rates. Moreover, the employment
situation for Negroes living outside the
poverty areas was not substantially better
than that for Negroes in poverty. Among
whites, the poverty-nonpoverty differences
were very sharp.
nonpoverty areas--seemed to have a comparative advantage over Negroes in both
areas.
This study pointed up the heavy concentration of Negroes in the most disadvantaged urban areas. Approximately 12
million persons (age 14 years and over)
lived in the big city poverty areas in
March 1966. Of these 12 million, 42 percent were Negroes, although Negroes constitute only 11 percent of the national

population (table 4). Fifty-six percent of
all big-city Negroes lived in poverty areas,
compared to only 10 percent of the big-city
whites.
In several respects, the employment
situation of white workers in poverty areas
was better than that of Negro workers in
nonpoverty areas. The unemployment rate
of white workers in poverty areas was 6
percent; the unemployment rate of Negro
workers in nonpoverty areas was 7.2 percent. White workers in poverty areas were
more likely than Negroes in nonpoverty
areas to have white-collar or skilled jobs.
Thus, the white workers in poor neighborhoods--though their employment situation
was much worse than that of whites in
Employment problems in city slums.
About 1 out of every 10 workers in the slums
of 13 major cities was unemployed in November 1966--an unemployment rate nearly
three times the national average.
This is one of the findings of a special
survey conducted by the Labor Department
17
276-289 O - 67
in 10 poverty areas of selected U.S. cities. In
addition, information on the slum areas of
Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Oakland was obtained from independent studies. 6/ The 14 areas covered are generallyrepresentative of the worst and poorest city
slums in the country.
The disproportionate concentration of
nonwhite workers in urban slums areas
was most evident from this study. In the
10 slum districts surveyed by the Labor
Department, 3 out of every 4 unemployed
workers were nonwhite. 7/ Nationally, about
3 out of every 15 unemployed persons are
nonwhite.
The following points summarize the
Department's findings regarding the 800,000
persons of working age in areas covered in
its November surveys:
1. About 7 percent of the slum residents
with jobs were employed only parttime, although they would have preferred full-time
work. The comparable figure for the Nation
as a whole was 2.3 percent.
2. Nearly two-fifths of the slum area
families (and unrelated individuals) r e ported annual incomes under $3,000, compared with one-fourth in the United States
as a whole.
3. A disproportionately large number
of slum residents of working age were
neither working nor looking for work, and so
were not counted in the labor force. This
labor force "nonparticipation rate" was 11
percent among men 20 to 64, compared with
only 7 percent in the country generally.
The national figures on unemployment
include all persons who were not employed
and who actively sought work during the
survey period. This is an objective standard
which is reasonable and significant for most
of the U.S. population, but it provides only
a partial indication of the work problems
which contribute to poverty in the slums.
Many more slum residents have only parttime jobs, are earning too little to meet
their own and their families' minimum
subsistence needs, or are outside the labor
force (though able to work) than are unemployed, in the sense that they are jobless
and looking for work.
4. A fifth or more of the adult men
expected to be part of the population of
these slum areas were not located by the
November surveys. This finding parallels
the Census "undercount" experience for
nonwhite men.
As a first approach to measuring the
entire area of joblessness and employment hardship, a "sub-employment" index
has been constructed, based on these survey findings and other data and on a number of carefully considered estimates and
a s sumpti on s. Sj
kj The study in Detroit was conducted
by Wayne State University for the Michigan
State Employment Commission, and the
Oakland study by the University of California; both were approximately concurrent
with the other surveys. The studies in Cleveland and Los Angeles were made by the
Bureau of the Census during 1965, but the
information obtained was judged to be generally representative of the current situtation
in these cities' slum areas.
The average rate of sub-employment for
the 10 slums surveyed was 34 percent. In
other words, one out of every three slum
residents who was already a worker, or
should and could become one with suitable
help, was either jobless or not earning
enough to live above the poverty level.
ij The term "nonwhite" is used in this
section rather than "Negro" because, in
individual urban slums, the nonwhite groups
other than Negro (Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, and American Indian) may influence
the data more than they do on a national
basis.

HOUSEHOLD CHARACTERISTICS OF THE UNEMPLOYED
The degree of economic hardship resulting from unemployment depends largely on
the family responsibilities of unemployed
persons. In 1966, household heads accounted
for only 36 percent of total unemployment,
but represented 60 percent of the labor
force. For this reason, it is important to
examine the composition of unemployment
by household relationship.
Between 1962 andU966, total unemployment fell from 3.9 to 2.9 million persons,
but this decline was distributed unevenly
among the major household relationship
groups jy^The largest reduction (600,000 out
of the ljQ million total) occurred among male
household h e a d s . Unemployment among
these family breadwinners fell from i^ million in 1962 to 800,000 in 1966, and their
share of total unemployment dropped from
36.4 percent to 28.1 percent.
On the other hand, the proportion of unemployment accounted for by "other females" (mainly daughters of the household
head) rose from about 13-l/£to 19 percent.
The number of unemployed "other females"
showed little change, remaining at about
550,000 in both 1962 and 1966. The stability
in this group's unemployment when total
joblessness was falling resulted in the sharp
\J In this article, the unemployed have
been divided into five major groups: male
household heads, female household heads,
wives of heads, other males, and other females. The last two groups are primarily
relatives of the household head. Unrelated
individuals account for about 2 percent of
total unemployment and for 5 percent of the
other male and other female groups. All
figures cited in this article, except those
on duration of unemployment, pertain to
persons 16 years old and over. The number
of unemployed 14 and 15 year-olds was
subtracted from the other male and other
female categories.
increase in their proportion of the total.
There were also moderate increases in the
shares of total unemployment represented
by female household heads and wives of
heads (table 1).
The distribution of unemployment by
household relationship differs markedly
from the labor force distribution. Male
heads, who account for more than half of the
labor force (53 percent in 1966), represent
only 28 percent of the unemployed. In contrast, the share of the unemployment burden
carried by younger members of the household was more than twice as large as their
share of the labor force. (See "other males"
and "other females" in table 1.)
Shifts in the composition of unemployment by household relationship may stem
from: (1) a change in the unemployment rate
of a group relative to that of the other
groups, (2) a change in the percentage of the
labor force represented by each of these
groups, or (3) a combination of both. The
changes in the last 4 years have resulted
almost entirely from the first factor.
The unemployment rate for male household heads has declined more rapidly than
that of all other groups. This decline was
responsible for most of the drop in the proportion of male heads among the unemployed. A slight decrease in the proportion of
the labor force composed of male heads was
a minor contributing factor. Similarly, the
rise in the proportion of total unemployment
represented by "other females" was attributable largely to the slow decline in their
unemployment rate relative to that of the
other groups.
It i s clear that not all the household members have benefited equally from the recent
general decline in unemployment. Since
male heads, who normally carry the heaviest
burden of family responsibility, have expe-

rienced the most rapid decline in unemployment since 1962, it would appear that
economic hardship from unemployment has
eased. Some of the improvement for male
heads, however, has been off set by the gradual increase in the share of total unemployment accounted for by female heads. Since
female household heads quite often have
relatively lower earnings than males and
usually do not have other adult workers in
the family, job loss may present greater
problems for them than for males.
While welfare problems are alleviated
t h r o u g h the decrease of unemployment
among male household heads, other problems are raised by the continuation of
relatively high unemployment among the
younger members of the household. The
proportion of unemployment accounted for
by these youths, most of whom are classified as "other males" and "other females,"
increased from 39 percent in 1962 to 45percent in 1966. Although enforced idleness may
not impose immediate economic hardship on
these young people, it may have adverse

long-run effects because they need jobs to
gain the experience that will equip them for
life as adult workers.
There are significant differences in the
sex and household composition of white and
Negro_2/ unemployment. For e x a m p l e ,
women account for a higher proportion of
total unemployment among Negroes than
among whites (table 2). This difference is
due to the higher labor force participation
rates of Negro women, many of whom have
to work to bx>ost household income to a necessary minimum. Women therefore represent a much larger share of the Negro labor
force than of the white.
The proportion of white unemployment
represented by female household heads has
been relatively small and stable, varying

In contrast, the share of Negro unemployment carried by women household heads
rose steadily from 9 percent in 1963 to 11
percent in 1966.
for male heads to 9.4 percent for other
relatives of the head (bothmale and female).
Jobless rates for female heads (3.9percent)
and for wives of heads (3.6 percent) fell
between the two extremes.
In 1966, for the first time, male household heads constituted less than one-fourth
(23 percent) of total Negro unemployment.
For whites, the comparable proportion was
29 percent. The color differences for household heads are also apparent in another
measure. Among jobless white household
heads, men outnumbered women by 4 to 1 in
1966; for Negroes the male-female ratio was
only 2 to 1. The higher proportion of women
among unemployed Negro heads is in exact
relation to the household composition by
color. One-third of all Negro households-compared to only one-fifth of all white-were headed by women in 1966.
Household heads. Male household heads
with wife present have the lowest unemployment rate--1.8 percent in 1966. The rate
was even lower for younger men who were
more likely to have children in the home.
Among male heads with spouse present, the
rate was 1.7 percent for the 25 to 34 year
age group and only 1.5 for those age 35 to
44 years. On the other hand, male heads
living with relatives other than their wives
and those not living with relatives had rates
of 2.9 and 4.7 percent, respectively. The
latter two groups made up relatively small
proportions of all male household heads.
About 14 percent of all male heads did not
live with relatives in 1966, and only 3 percent lived with relatives other than the wife.
From a general welfare standpoint, it is
significant that the proportion of unemployed
female household heads should grow, especially among nonwhites. These women are
not merely the primary earners in their
households, they are usually the sole support. When they lose their jobs, the resulting
economic burden may well be greater than
that caused by the unemployment of male
household heads. The latter were shown in
a recent study 3 / to be more likely to have
other household members in the labor force.
Among husband-wife families where the
head was unemployed, more than half had
another member in the labor force. Among
families headed by an unemployed woman,
the proportion with another member in the
labor force was only one-third.
Of the unemployed female household
heads, 58-1/2 percent lived with relatives
in 1966; the remainder lived alone or with
persons who were not relatives. The former
group had a jobless rate of 4.7 percent in
1966. In contrast to the situation for males,
the unemployment rate (3.1 percent) for
female heads who did not live with relatives
was lower than for those more likely to have
family responsibilities. The higher rate for
female heads living with relatives is probably due to their more frequent entrance
into and exit from the labor force to care for
children.
Wives of heads. The share of unemployment accounted for by wives of the household head has increased slightly during the
past 4 years in step with their gradually
increasing share of the labor force. In 1966^
wives accounted for about one-fifth of both
the labor force and unemployment.
Unemployment Rates by Household
Relationship
In 1966, unemployment rates by household relationship ranged from 2.0 percent
Although the unemployment rates for
male household heads who are most likely to
have young children are quite low, the opposite is true for wives. Jobless rates for
wives are highest in the y o u n g e r age

groups--when the bearing and rearing of
children often leads to intermittent participation in the labor force. In 1966, unemployment rates ranged from about 11 percent for
16-19 year-old wives down to 2 percent for
the 55 years and over age group.
Other relatives of household head. These
are the household members who account for
a growing share of unemployment; and the
median age of this group is constantly declining (table 3)0 Among unemployed relatives of household heads, about 60 percent
of the males and 68 percent of the females
were in the 16 to 19 age bracket in 1966,
substantially higher proportions than in
1963 (table 3).
This trend is due to the growth of the
teenage sector of the population and the
labor force and to the failure of the general
decline in unemployment to. substantially
reduce teenage joblessness.
Table 3.
Duration of Unemployment
Although the unemployment rate is relatively low for household heads, once jobless
they are likely to remain out of work longer
than other household members. The average
duration of unemployment in 1966 was 14.4
weeks for male heads and 10.6 for female
heads. This compares with an average duration of about 8 weeks for unemployed wives
and other relatives.
The longer unemployment experience of
family heads is attributable in part to their
age. Nearly half of the unemployed household heads, both male and female, are over
45 years of age. In addition to employers'
reluctance to hire older workers, the household head's attachment to an occupational
specialty is often a cause of prolonged unemployment. Household heads are more
likely to qualify for unemployment insurance
benefits and may be able to afford a longer

BLS Establishment Employment Estimates
Revised to March 1966 Benchmark Levels
Arthur C. Spinks*
Complete employment counts, as of March
1966, have been established for the nonfarm
segments of industrial activities in the Nation.
As a result, estimates of national employment
appearing in the establishment data section
of this issue of Employment and Earnings and
Monthly Report on the Labor Force have been
adjusted to the corrected levels. These adjustments generally mean that the employment series have been revised backward to
March 1965 and forward to the current month's
estimate.
Benchmarks and Estimates, March 1966
The March 1966 total benchmark count
of 62.3 million workers on establishment
payrolls was higher than the estimate by
90,000 - - a difference of only 0.1 percent.
The corrections for each of the eight divisions ranged from less than 0.05 percent for
Government to 0.6 percent for manufacturing.
Even the estimate for contract construction,
which presents the most difficult problems
in estimation, differed from the benchmark
count by only 0.3 percent--the smallest gap
experienced in this industry for a number of
years. The March 1966 benchmarks and estimates, and the differences between them,
are shown in table 1.
Each year, universe employment counts
called benchmarks are determined for nonagricultural establishments and the existing
employment estimates are subjected to adjustments to revised levels. A benchmark is
established for each of the smallest industrial
classifications for which estimates are available and the revisions are made at that industry level. The revised estimates are then
aggregated through successively inclusive
series to total nonagricultural employment.
The substantially smaller difference between the total benchmark count and the estimate for March 1966 as compared with
March 1965 can be accounted for largely in
the service division. Improved benchmark
data introduced in 1965 caused the unusually
large difference in this division at that time.
Benchmarks serve as a standard by which
estimates of employment can be evaluated
periodically. They provide the levels to which
estimates can be adjusted and from which
they can be projected by the use of sample
reports. Current estimates of employment
consequently are based upon a p r e v i o u s
benchmark and a current sample: The benchmark is used to establish the level of employment annually, and the sample is used to
measure month-to-month changes to that
level. It is with reference to the benchmark
that monthly estimates are derived from reports submitted each month by a sample of
employers.

Because current employment series are
estimates of the universe rather than complete counts, it is necessary to determine at
regular intervals the difference between the
two measures and to bring the estimates into
agreement with the universe.

About 30 percent of nonagricultural workers are employed in manufactaring industries. Because shifts in the Nation's economy
frequently are anticipated from the trends of
series within this division, the degree of accuracy of reliability that can be assigned to
the estimates over time is of primary importance. Although the estimate fell short of
the March 1966 benchmark by a larger amount
than experienced in several preceding years,
the difference of 0.6 percent is small, nevertheless, and reflects a sustained high degree
of estimate accuracy. The importance of
manufacturing in size and influence requires
that estimates be published inconsiderable
industry detail.
The March 1966 estimates and benchmark
levels for the major industry groups in manu-
28
facturing appear in table 2. Of the 21 major
groups in this division, 11 were revised by
less than 0.6 percent; the remaining 10 varied
from their respective benchmarks between
1.0 percent and 2.2 percent.
Of the 120 published industry group series
(components of major industry groups), estimates for 92 were different from their benchmarks by less than 3.0 percent, but 8 were
revised by 5.0 percent or more. Only one of
the latter group of series, however, fell into
the employment-size class of more than
100,000 workers. The distribution of the 120
industry groups, by employment-size class
and by percentage adjustment required, is
given in table 3. It illustrates the tendency
for the amount of relative change to vary inversely with the size of employment.

Reliability of Employment Estimates
In general, the difference between estimates and benchmarks is assumed to have
accumulated at a constant rate over the previous 12 months. The assumption depends
largely upon the maximum influence of two
factors--sample bias and establishment activity change affecting industry classification
within and outside the sample. Most series,
therefore, are adjusted by wedging or tapering out the difference over the period from
the new benchmark to the preceding one, 12
months earlier. Estimates subsequent to the
new benchmark are revised by projecting the
new level forward using the sample trend to
the current month. The latter part of the revision is then subject to revision when the
March 1967 benchmarks are established.

either relatively stable or fluctuates in a
regular seasonal pattern. Larger samples are
required to obtain reliable data from industries where employment is highly responsive
to economic changes. Even when the number
of sample reports is relatively large, or
equals the universe, a significant difference
between the estimate and benchmark sometimes does occur. The explanation for sucha
change to estimates lies in the procedure used
in keeping the industrial classification of
establishments up to date.
In most instances of recent revisions, the
estimates for major industry divisions have
varied from benchmarks by less than 1 percent. A comparison of the size of the revisions made since 1962 is presented in table 4.
Establishments are classified by industry
according to their major activity or product,
In a dynamic society, many establishments
frequently change the kinds of goods and services they provide. When these changes occur,
and the major activity or product falls into a
different industry, the establishment is reclassified into that industry. The change in
industry classification is not introduced into
the industry employment estimates until the
benchmark month when adjustments for classification change are made by raising the employment level of the new industry classification by the amount of the employment in the
establishment and reducing the employment
Why Estimates Differ From Benchmarks
Estimates differ from benchmarks for a
number of reasons, the most usual of which
is the limitations of the sample in representing the universe--the occurrence of change
in the universe not duplicated by the sample.
Although a complete monthly count of employment would reflect all changes in the level
from month to month, complete coverage involving several million reports each month
would be prohibitively expensive compared
with the cost of publishing estimates derived
1965
29
for the old industry by the same amount, The
total difference between the estimate (reflecting the old classification) and the benchmark
(reflecting the new classification) is wedged
back over the previous 12-month period. Consequently, even if every establishment were
counted, changes in industry classification
would require the estimates to be revised.
Office of Education and the National Catholic
Welfare Conference (private schools, colleges, and universities), the U.S. Civil Service Commission (Federal government), and
the Governments Division of the Bureau of
the Census (State and local governments).
The Bureau's reporting sample is also an
important source of benchmark information.
Since sample reports are current and are
reviewed monthly, reporting errors are disclosed that may otherwise remain undetected.
The industry classification of each sample
establishment is reviewed annually on the
basis of information supplied by the employer. Changes in industry classification of
sample reports often precede such changes
in other sources of information. Insofar as
sample reports are known to differ from the
corresponding employer's reports included
in other benchmark source material, the data
in the other sources are modified accordingly.
Benchmark Source Material
The most essential sources of benchmark
information are the tabulations by industry
and employment-size group of reporting
units, compiled annually by the Bureau of
Employment Security for the first calendar
quarter of the year. These tabulations provide monthly employment counts of establishments covered under State unemployment
insurance laws. Each calendar quarter, covered employers file with their respective
State employment security agency a report
which includes total employment for the week
including the 12th for each month of the
quarter. State tabulations of these data, summarized according to industry, are sent to
the Bureau of Employment Security to be included in the national summaries, which are
made available to the Bureau of Labor Statistics for benchmark purposes. These unemployment insurance data account for approximately three-fourths of the total nonagricultural employment benchmark.
Sampling Plan
Within the limits of the financial and personnel resources available, the objective is
to design a sample which will minimize the
error in the resulting estimates.
The sampling plan used in the current
employment statistic s program is an optimum
allocation design known as sampling proportionate to average size of establishment. The
universe of establishments is stratified first
by industry and then within each industry, by
size of establishment in terms of employment.
For each industry, the total sample size is
distributed among the size-class cells on the
basis of average employment per establishment in each cell. In practice, this is equivalent to distributing among the cells the predetermined total number of establishments
required in the sample. This is done on the
basis of the ratio of employment in each cell
to total employment in the industry. Within
each stratum, the sample members are
selected at random.
The remainder of the benchmark is employment exempt from State unemployment
insurance laws. As of January 1966, UI laws
in 30 States provided that employers of fewer
than a specified number of workers be exempt
from coverage. Most nonprofit organizations
and specified types of activities are exempt
from coverage. For the none ove r e d employers and for certain nonprofit institutions,
data used are obtained from County Busines s
Patterns, published by the Bureau of The
Census.
In addition to the above two sources,
benchmark data are obtained from a number
of public and private agencies including the
Interstate Commerce Commission (interstate
railroads), the American Hospital Association (private nonprofit hospitals), the U.S.
Under this type of sampling, large establishments fall into the sample design with
certainty. The size of the samples for the
30
various industries is determined empirically,
on the basis of experience and cost considerations. In a manufacturing industry in which a
high proportion of total employment is concentrated in relatively few establishments, a
large percentage of total employment is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample design for such industries provides a
complete census of the larger establishments. Only a few are chosen from anaong the
smaller establishments. No smaller establishments are included if the concentration
of employment is great enough.
In an industry with a large proportion of
total employment in small establishments,
the sample design calls for inclusion of all
large establishments and a substantial number of the smaller ones. Many industries in
the trade and service divisions fall into this
category. In order to keep the sample to a
size which can be handled by available resources, it is necessary to accept samples in
these divisions with a smaller proportion of
universe employment than is the case for
most manufacturing industries. Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show less variation
from regular cyclical or seasonal patterns
than establishments in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples (in terms of
employment) generally produce reliable e s timates.

Relation of Benchmarks to Other Series
The Bureau computes series on average
hourly earnings, average weekly hours, and
labor turnover rates for a large number of
industries. For the primary estimating group
(i.e., the most detailed industries) the series
are computed directly from reported figures.
Series for more inclusive industries, however, require a weighting mechanism to yield
meaningful averages. To compute this average for a broader industry grouping, the average in each industry is weighted by the number of workers in that industry. The benchmarks provide a means for maintaining the
accuracy of these weights.
Differences between the benchmarks and
the estimates may result in a reallocation of
weights. To influence the average of a broad
group, changes have to be relatively large
and must affect industries which have substantially higher or lower averages than the
other industries in their group. Only small
changes were caused by using employment
figures revised to the latest benchmark
(March 1966) as weights for hours, earnings,
and labor turnover. There were no changes
necessary at the division level with the exception of the average weekly hours estimate
for mining which was revised by 0.1 hour and
the average hourly earnings estimates for
trade and for finance, insurance, and real
estate which were adjusted by 1 cent each.
Minor changes were also necessary for several of the 2-digit industries; these are summarized in table 5.
Employment for Some Industries not
Published Monthly
Monthly employment estimates are published for most of the significant industries
in the nonagricultural economy. Those industries for which monthly data are not published
are either too small or do not meet e stablished
publication standards. (The latter condition is
particularly characteristic of service industries). Employment benchmarks for these industries are presented in table 6.

SEASONAL FACTORS
The following tables present seasonal adjustment factors for all series in the establishment section of this periodical,
which have been revised, as in the past, coincidental with the adjustment of the industry employment series to new benchmarks. These factors will be revised at the time the industry employment statistics are again adjusted to later benchmarks
and more current data are available. The seasonal movements are measured in order to adjust the data statistically for
such recurring events as warm and cold weather, crop-growing cycles, holidays, vacations, regular industry model changeover periods, and the like. These movements are generally the largest single component of month-to-month changes in
employment, hours, and labor turnover. The seasonal factors which follow enable the analyst to remove these influences
from the data in order to determine more basic trends.
These factors are to be used with data adjusted to the March 1966 benchmark.

Technical Note
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.
INTRODUCTION
Relation between the household and payroll series
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from
three major sources: (1) household interviews, (2) payroll reports from employers, and (3) administrative
statistics of unemployment insurance systems.
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 based on household interviews are obtained from
a sample survey of the population 16 years of age and
over. The survey is conducted each month by the Bureau
of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed, including such characteristics
as age, sex, color, marital status, occupations, hours of
work, and duration of unemployment. The survey also
provides data on the characteristics and past work experience of those not in the labor force. The information
is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of
about 52,500 households, representing 449 areas in 863
counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50 States
and the District of Columbia. The data collected are based
on the activity or status reported for the calendar week
including the 12th of the month.
Data from these two sources differ from each other
because of differences in definition and coverage, sources
of information, methods of collection, and estimating
procedures. Sampling variability and response errors
are additional reasons for discrepancies. The major
factors which have a differential effect on levels and
trends of the two series are as follows:
Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including
domestics and other private household workers), selfemployed 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 survey covers only wage
and salary employees on the payrolls of nonfarm establishments.
Data based on establishment'pay roll records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies.
The payroll 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 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 which includes the 12th
of the month.
Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides information on the work status of the population
without duplication since each person is classified as
employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one job are counted
only once and are classified according to the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during
the survey week. In the figures based on establishment
records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each
time their names appear on payrolls.
Data based on administrative records of unemployment
insurance systems furnish a complete count of insured
unemployment among the two-thirds of the Nation's
labor force covered by unemployment insurance programs. Weekly reports, by State, are issued on the
number of initial claims, the volume and rate of insured
unemployment under State unemployment insurance programs, and the volume under programs of unemployment
compensation for Federal employees, ex-servicemen,
and railroad workers. These statistics are published by
the Bureau of Employment Security, U.S. Department of
Labor, in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."
Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey includes among the employed all persons who had jobs but
were not at work during the survey week—that is, were
not working but had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or because they were
taking time off for various other reasons, even if they
were not paid by their employers for the time off. In
133
are the inclusion of persons under 16 in the Statistical
Research Service (SRS) series and the treatment of dual
jobholders who are counted more than once if they 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.
the figures based on payroll reports, persons on leave
paid for by the company are i n c l u d e d , but not
those on leave w i t h o u t 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 computations of average hours.
In the payroll survey, employees on paid vacation, paid
holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned the
number of hours for which they were paid during the
reporting period.
Comparability of the 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 its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses
of business establishments. The major reasons for some
noncomparability are different treatment of business
units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, the
industrial classification of establishments, and different
reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are
also differences in the scope of the industries covered,
e.g., the Census of Business excludes contract construction, professional services, public utilities, and financial
establishments, whereas these are included in BLS
statistics.
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 have a job at all during the survey week and were looking for work or were waiting to be called back to a job
from which they had been laid off, regardless of whether
or not they were eligible for unemployment insurance.
Figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by
the 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 employment, unpaid family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
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 treatment of
central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrial classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes
interstate railroads and government, and coverage is
incomplete for some of the nonprofit activities.
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 covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are
covered by the unemployment insurance programs. All
workers in certain activities, such as 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.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department
of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage

Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other characteristics of
the employed, the unemployed, and persons not in the
labor force, and related data are compiled for the BLS by
the Bureau of the Census in its Current Population
Survey (CPS). A detailed description of this survey
appears in "Concepts and Methods Used in Manpower
Statistics from the Current Population Survey" (BLS Re-
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted with a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years
and over. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of
the household 16 years of age and over. The inquiry
relates to activity or status during the calendar week,
134
Duration of unemployment represents the length of
time (through the current survey week) during which persons classified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of full weeks since the
termination of their most recent employment. A period of
2 weeks or more during which a person was employed or
ceased looking for work is considered to break the continuity of the present period of seeking work. Average
duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of the
month. This is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 16 years
of age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and are excluded from the population and labor
force statistics shown in this report. Data on members
of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the
categories "total noninstitutional population" and "total
labor force," are obtained from the Department of Defense.
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,,
Each month, 52,500 occupied units are designated for
interview. About 2,250 of these households are visited
but interviews are not obtained because the occupants
are not found at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other reasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 4.5 percent. In addition to the 52,500 occupied units, there are 8,500 sample
units in an average month which are visited but found to be
vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of the
sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides
for three-fourths of the sample to be common from one
month to the next, and one-half to be common with the
same month a year ago.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. This
measure can also be computed for groups within the labor
force classified by sex, age, marital status, color, etc.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 years
and over who are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are further classified as
"engaged in own home housework," "in school," "unable
to work" because of long-term physical or mental illness,
and "other." The "other" group includes for the most
part retired persons, those reported as too old to work,
the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the
survey week fell in an "off" season and who were not
reported as unemployed. Persons doing only incidental
unpaid family work (less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force.
CONCEPTS
Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all as paid employees, in
their own business, profession, or farm, or who worked
15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise
operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those
who were not working but who had jobs or businesses
from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness,
bad weather, vacation, labor-management
dispute, or personal reasons, whether or not they were
paid by their employers for the time off, and whether or
not they were seeking other jobs.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous
work experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for
a job at the time of interview, and reasons for not looking
for work are compiled on a quarterly basis. The detailed
questions for persons not in the labor force are asked
only in those households that are new entrants to the
sample and in those that are reentering the sample after
8 months' absence.
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.
Occupation,
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are
not living on the premises of an Embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted
of work around the house (such as own home housework,
and painting or repairing own home) or volunteer work
for religious, charitable, and similar organizations.
Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did
not work during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job within the past 4 weeks, and who were
available for work during the survey week (except for
temporary illness). Also included as unemployed are
those who did not work at all, were available for work,
and (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

the
employed apply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job at
which they worked the greatest number of hours during
the survey week. The unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time civilian job lasting 2 weeks
or more. The occupation and industry groups used in
data derived from the CPS household interviews are
defined as in the 1960 Census of Population. Information
on the detailed categories included in these groups is
available upon request.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and
salary workers," subdivided into private and government
workers, "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
135
own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay
fe=F £§ 4*9«rs 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.
ESTIMATING METHODS
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.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed
to account for occupied sample households for which no
information was obtained because of absence, impassable
roads, refusals, or unavailability 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 4 to 6 percent
depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by
chance, from that of the 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:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. T h i s is a procedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by
the known 1960 Census data on the color-residence
distribution of the population. This step takes into account the differences existing at the time of the 1960
Census between the color-residence distribution for the
Nation and for the sample areas.
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 (1960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality, and migration between the U n i t e d S t a t e s and other countries.
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 of mo nth-to-mo nth changes especially and of the
levels for most items also.
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, r e pairs 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. Persons on full-time
schedules include, in'addition to those working 35 hours
or more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomic reasons but usually work full time.
Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor
force consists of persons working on full-time schedules,
persons involuntarily working part time (because fulltime work is not available), and unemployed persons
seeking full-time jobs. The part-time labor force consists
of persons working part time voluntarily and unemployed
persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a job but
not at work during the survey week are classified according to whether they usually work full or part
time.
Labor force time lost is a measure of man-hours
lost to the economy through unemployment and involuntary part-time employment and is expressed
as a percent of potentially available man-hours.
It is computed by assuming: (1) that unemployed
persons looking for full-time w o r k lost an average of 37.5 hours, (2) that those looking for parttime work lost the average number of hours actually
worked by voluntary part-time workers during the
survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for
economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5
hours and the a c t u a l n u m b e r of hours they
worked.
Rounding of Estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal the
totals shown in the same tables because of independent
rounding of totals and components to the nearest thousand. Differences, however, are insignificant.
136
The figures presented in table B 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.
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 2 out of 3 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.
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 mo nth-to-month changes as presented in table
C, it is first necessary to obtain the standard error of
the monthly level of the item in table B, and then find the
standard error of the month-to-month change in table C
corresponding to this standard error of level. It should
be noted that table C 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 B are acceptable
approximations.
Table A shows the average standard error for the
major employment status categories, by sex, computed
from data for past 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 A. The standard errors of level shown
in table A are acceptable approximations of the standard
errors of year-to-year change.

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 B
shows that the standard error of 15,000,000 is about
133,000. Consequently, the chances are about 68 out of
100 that the sample estimate differs by less than 133,000
from the figure which would have been obtained from a
complete count of the number of persons working the
given number of hours. Using the 133,000 as the standard

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 which 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

on Labor Turnover. These schedules are of the "shuttle"
type, with space for each month of the calendar year.
The collecting agency returns the schedule to the
respondent each month so that the next month's data can
be entered. This procedure assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting, since the r e spondent can see the figures he has reported for previous
months.

and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonfarm establishments, by industry and geographic location.

Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments and, for most industries,
payroll and man-hours of production and related workers
or nonsupervisory workers for the pay period which
includes the 12th of the month. The labor turnover
schedule provides for the collection of information on
the total number of accessions and separations, by type,
during the calendar month.
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,
the respondent fills out only one 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,
insures maximum comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and
completeness. The States use the information to prepare
State and area series and then send the data to the BLS
for use in preparing the national series.
CONCEPTS
Industrial Classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and
Form DL 1219 are classified into industries on the
basis of their principal product or activity determined
from information on annual sales volume. This information is collected each year on a supplement to the
Shuttle Schedules
Two types of data collection schedules are used:
Form BLS 790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours; and Form DL 1219—Monthly Report

monthly.790 or 1219 report. For an establishment making
more than one product or engaging in more than one
activity, the entire employment of the establishment is
included under the industry indicated by the most important product or activity.
journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, laborers, etc.,
whether working at the site of construction or in shops
or yards, at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling)
ordinarily performed by members of the construction
trades.
All national, State, and area employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover series are classified in
accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual^ Bureau of the Budget, 1957, as amended by the
1963 Supplement.
Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not
above the working supervisory level) such as office and
clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators,
drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social
workers, research aids, teachers, draftsmen, photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant workers,
custodial workers, attendants, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and
other employees whose services are closely associated
with those of the employees listed.
Industry Employment
Empiuyment data except that for the Federal Government refer to persons on establishment payrolls who r e ceived pay for any part of the pay period which includes
the 12th of the month. For Federal Government establishments, employment figures represent the number of
persons who occupied positions on the last day of the
calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if they
performed any service during the month.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who
received pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of the month. The payroll is reported
before deductions of any kind, e.g., for old-age and
unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding
tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly
by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly
each pay period), other pay not earned in pay period
reported (e.g., retroactive pay), tips, and the value of
free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are
excluded.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed,
unpaid volunteer, or family workers, farm workers, and
domestic workers in households. Salaried officers of
corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; military personnel are
excluded.
Man-hours cover man-hours worked or paid for,
during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month,
for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers.
The man-hours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly
from the firm.
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paid
sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm),
on paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a
part of the pay period and are unemployed or on strike
during the rest of the period, are counted as employed.
Not counted as employed are persons who are laid off,
on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period,
or who are hired but do not report to work during the
period.
Overtime hours cover hours worked by production or
related workers for which overtime premiums were paid
because the hours were in excess of the number of hours
of either the straight-time workday or the workweek during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month.
Weekend and holiday hours are included only if overtime
premiums were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums
were paid are excluded.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of
payrolls and man-hours for production and related workers in manufacturing and mining, construction workers in
contract construction, and nonsupervisory employees in
the remaining iionfarm components. For Federal Government, hours and earnings relate to all employees who
worked or received pay during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month. Terms are defined below.
When the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weekly basis.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings 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. Shifts in the
volume of employment between relatively high-paid and
low-paid work and changes in workers 1 earnings in individual establishments also affect the general earnings
averages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individual
industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated
period of time; rates are the amounts stipulated for a
given unit of work or time. The e a r n i n g s series
does not measure the level of total labor costs on

issue of Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report
on the Labor Force.
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 except
executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC group I)
who received pay during the month. Gross average hourly
earnings are computed by dividing total compensation
by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for r e duced 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.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by
changes in gross average hourly earnings, but also by
changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work,
stoppages for varying causes, labor turnover, and
absenteeism.
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.
Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in excess of
regular hours and for which overtime premiums were
paid. If an employee worked on a paid holiday at regular
rates, receiving as total compensation his holiday pay
plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no
overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not
necessarily move in the same direction, from month-tomonth; for example, overtime premiums may be paid for
hours in excess of the straight-time workday although less
than a full week is worked. Diverse trends at the industry-group level also may be caused by a marked change
in 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.
Hours and Earnings For Total Private Nonagricultural
Industries
This series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions except government. The principal source of payroll
data is Form BLS 790. Secondary source material such
as Employment and Wages (Bureau of Employment
Security), County Business Patterns (Bureau of the
Census), and additional supporting information such as
The Hospital Guide, Part II, of the American Hospital
Association and special studies by the National Council
of Churches, supplement data for certain industry groups
within the service division.
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 and his marital
status, as well as on the level of his gross income. To
reflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed
for a worker with no dependents, and a married worker
with three dependents. The computations are based on
the gross average weekly earnings for all production or
nonsupervisory workers in the industry division without
regard to total family income.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current
Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for
the current month. The level of earnings is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base
period (1957-59).
Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium
pay are computed by dividing the total productionworker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total
production-worker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January 1956, these data were
based on the application of adjustment factors to gross
average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly
Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
l j times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made
for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday
work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time
and one-half.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and manhours are prepared by dividing the current month's
aggregate by the monthly average for the 1957-59 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.
For a technical description of this series, see the
article, "Hours and Earnings for Workers in Private
Nonagricultural Industries," published in the May 1967

Labor Turnover
ESTIMATING METHODS
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employed status with
respect to individual establishments. This movement,
which relates to a calendar month, is divided into two
broad types: Accessions (new hires and rehires) and
separations (terminations of employment initiated by
either employer or employee). Each type of action is
cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate
per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees,
whether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary,
including executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers. Transfers to another
establishment of the company are included, beginning
with January 1959,
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employment for the industry statistics are (1) the
use of the "link relative" technique, which is a form of
ratio estimation, (2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, and (3) the use of size
and regional stratification.
The "Link Relative" Technique
From a sample composed of establishments reporting
for both the previous and current months, the ratio of
current month employment to that of the previous month
is computed. This is called a link relative. The estimates
of employment (all employees, including production and
nonproduction workers together) for the current month
are obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these "link relatives." Other features of
the general procedures are described later in the table,
Summary of Methods for Computing Industry Statistics
on Employment, Hours, Earnings, and Labor Turnover.
Further details are given in the technical notes on
Measurement of Employment, Hours? and Earnings in Nonagricultural Industries and on Measurementoj L abor Turnover, which are available upon request.
Accessions are the total number of permanent and
temporary additions to the employment roll, including
both new and rehired employees.
New hires are temporary or permanent additions to
the employment roll of persons who have never before
been employed in the establishment (except employees
transferring from another establishment of the same
company) or of former employees not recalled by the
employer.
Size and Regional Stratification
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, including transfers from another establishment
of the company.
Separations are terminations of employment during
the calendar month and are classified according to cause:
Quits, layoffs, and other separations, are defined as
follows:
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by
employees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized absences, if on the last day of the month the,
person has been absent more than 7 consecutive calendar
days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days,
initiated by the employer without prejudice to the worker.
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight
the hours and earnings into broader industry groupings.
Accordingly, the basic estimating ceil for an employment,
hours, or earnings series, as the term is used in the
summary of computational methods may be a whole
industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size
stratum of a region within an industry.
Benchmark Adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically
with comprehensive counts of employment which provide
"benchmarks" for the various nonagriculturalindustries,
, and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The
industry estimates are currently projected from March
1966 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.
Other separations, which are not published separately
but are included in total separations, are terminations
of employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company, and entrance into the Armed Forces
for a period expected to last more than 30 consecutive
calendar days.
The primary source of benchmark information is the
employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by
State agencies from reports of establishments covered
under State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations, covering three-fourths of the total nonfarm employment in the United States, are prepared under the
direction of the Bureau of Employment Security. Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate
Commerce Commission, and a number of other agencies
in private industry or government.
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: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire calendar month; the employment reports refer to the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month; and (2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions
although such, employees are excluded from the employment estimates if the work stoppage extends through the
report period.
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the monthly series
of estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark
and the preceding one, and the new benchmark for each
industry then is carried forward progressively to the
current month by use of the sample trends. Thus, under
141
ducing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be
obtained which will provide coverage of a sufficiently
large segment of the universe to provide reasonably
reliable estimates that can be published promptly and
regularly. The present sample meets these specifications for most industries. With its use, the BLS is able
to produce preliminary estimates each month for many
industries and for many geographic levels within a few
weeks after reports are mailed by respondents, and at a
somewhat later date, statistics in considerably greater
industrial detail. The tendency of such a sample to
produce biased estimates of the level of earnings for
certain industries is counteracted by the stratified
estimating procedure d e s c r i b e d under "Estimating
Methods."
this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the
level of employment; the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which
the series has been adjusted are subject therefore to
revision. To provide users of the data with a convenient
reference source for the revised data, the BLS publishes
as soon as possible after each benchmark revision a
summary volume of employment, hours, earnings, and
labor turnover statistics.
THE SAMPLE
Design
Coverage
The sampling plan used in the current employment
statistics program is an optimum allocation design known
as f'sampling proportionate to average size of establishment." The universe of establishments is stratified first
by industry and then within each industry by size of
establishment in terms of employment. For each industry
the total size of the sample is distributed among the size
class cells on the basis of average employment per
establishment in each cell. In practice, this is equivalent
to distributing the predetermined total number of establishments required in the sample among the cells on the
basis of the ratio of employment in each cell to total
employment in the industry. Within each stratum the
sample members are selected at random.
The BLS sample of establishment employment and
payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the
field of social statistics. The table that follows 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.
Approximate size and coverage of BLS employment
and payrolls sample, March 1966-1
Employees
Under this type of design, large establishments fall
into the sample with certainty. The size of the samples
for the various industries is determined empirically
on the basis of experience and of cost considerations.
In a manufacturing industry in which a high proportion of
total employment is concentrated in relatively few
establishments, a large percentage of total employment
is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample
design for such industries provides for a complete
census of the larger establishments with only a few
chosen from among the smaller establishments or none
at all if the concentration of employment is great
enough. On the other hand, in an industry in which a
large proportion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all
large establishments, and also for a substantial number
of the smaller ones. Many industries in the trade and
service divisions fall into this category. To keep the
sample to a size which can be handled by available
resources, it is necessary to accept samples in these
divisions with a smaller proportion of universe employment than is the case for most manufacturing industries.
Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally show less fluctuation from
regular cyclical or seasonal patterns than establishments
in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples
(in terms of employment) generally produce reliable
estimates.

Reliability of the Employment Estimates
The estimates derived from the establishment survey
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 relatively
large size of the BLS establishment sample assures a
high degree of accuracy. However, since the link relative technique requires the use of the previous month's
estimate as the base in computing the current month's
estimate, small sampling and response errors may
cumulate over several months. To remove this accumulated error, the estimates are adjusted annually to new
benchmarks. In addition to the sampling and response
e r r o r s , the benchmark revision adjusts the estimates
for changes in the industrial classification of individual
establishments (resulting from changes in their product
which are not reflected in the levels of estimates until
the data are adjusted to new benchmarks). In fact, at the
more detailed industry levels, particularly within manufacturing, changes in classification are the major cause
of benchmark adjustments. Another cause of differences,
generally minor, arises from improvements in the quality
of the benchmark data. (A detailed description of the
March 1966 benchmark is available from the Bureau upon
request.)

The entire difference between the estimate and
benchmarks is assumed to have accumulated at a regular rate. Accordingly, the all employee series are adjusted by tapering out the differences for months between
the current and the previous benchmark. The series for
months subsequent to the benchmark month are revised
by projecting the level of the new benchmark by the trend

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and
labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State
agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics
relate to • metropolitan areas. Definitions for all areas
are published each year in the issue of Employment and
Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force that contains State and area annual averages. Changes in
definitions are noted as they occur. Additional industry
detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed
on the inside back cover of each issue. These statistics
are based on the same establishment reports used by
For the most recent months, national, State, and area
estimates are preliminary and are so footnoted in the
tables. These figures are based on less than the total
sample and are revised when all the reports in the
sample design have been received.

BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sum of the State figures may differ slightly
from the equivalent official U.S. totals on a national basis, because some States have more recent
benchmarks than others and because of the effects of differing industrial and geographic stratification.
UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE DATA
Insured unemployment represents the number of persons reporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment insurance program. It includes some persons
who are working part time who would be counted as employed in the payroll and household surveys. Excluded
are 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-employment, unpaid
family work, nonprofit organizations, and firms below a
minimum size). The rate of insured unemployment is the
number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent of
average covered employment in a 12-month period ending
6 to 8 months prior to the week of reference. Initial
claims are notices filed by those losing jobs covered by
an unemployment insurance program that they are starting a period of unemployment. A claimant who continues
to be unemployed a full week is then counted in the
insured unemployment 'figure.
Because of differences in State laws and procedures
under which unemployment insurance programs are operated, State unemployment rates generally indicate, but
do not precisely measure, differences among the individual States. Persons wishing to receive a detailed
description of the nature, sources, inclusions and exclusions, and limitations of unemployment insurance data
should address their inquiries to Bureau of Employment
Security, Washington, D.C0
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring
seasonal movement which can be estimated on the basis
of past experience. By eliminating that part of the change
which can t>e ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is
possible to observe the cyclical and other nonseasonal
movements in the series. However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern—that is, changes in a
seasonally adjusted series—it is important to note that
seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation based
on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have
a broader margin of possible error than the original
data on which they are based, since they are subject not
only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are
affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment
process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected
labor force and establishment data are published regularly
in Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the
Labor Force.
employees and production workers by industry division
are obtained by summing seasonally adjusted data for
the component industries. Indexes of aggregate weekly
man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for mining, contract
construction, and the major industries in manufacturing
are obtained by multiplying average weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production workers, seasonally
adjusted, and dividing by the 1957-59 base. For total,
manufacturing, and durable and nondurable goods, the
indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours, seasonally
adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggregate weekly
man-hours, seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate
component industries and dividing by the 1957-59 base.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal Government are based on a series which excludes
the Christmas temporary help employed by the Post
Office Department in December. The employment of these
workers constitutes the only significant seasonal change
in Federal Government employment during the winter
months. Furthermore, the volume of such employment
may change substantially from year to year because of
administrative decisions by the Post Office Department.
Hence, it was considered desirable to exclude this group
from the data upon which the seasonally adjusted series
is based. Factors currently in use for the establishment
data are shown in the September 1967f Employment and
Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force, and
revisions will be made coincidental with the adjustment
of series to new benchmark levels.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these 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. A detailed
description of the method is given in the booklet, The BLS
Seasonal Factor Method (1966), which may be obtained
from the Bureau on request.
For establishment data, the seasonally adjusted
series on weekly hours and labor turnover rates for
industry groupings are computed by applying factors
directly to the corresponding unadjusted series. However, seasonally adjusted employment totals for all
144
For each of the three major labor force components—
agricultural and nonagricultural employment, and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and
female workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are
separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then
added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In order
to produce seasonally adjusted total employment and
civilian labor force data, the appropriate series are
aggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted
figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the
seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the sum of
twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current
data are based on a pattern shown by past experience.
These factors are revised in the light of the pattern
revealed by subsequent data. Revised seasonally adjusted
series for major components of the labor force based on
data through December 1966 are published in the February
1967 Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on
the Labor Force. Revisions will be made annually as each
additional year's data become available.
ATTENTION
As discussed in the 'Technical Note, the Bureau periodically adjusts the industry employment series to a recent benchmark to improve their accuracy. These adjustments may also
affect the hours and earnings series because employment levels are used as weights. Industry
data for all national series shown in this report have been adjusted to March 1966 benchmarks.
Data from April 1966 forward are subject to revision at the time of the next benchmark.
Beginning with the September 1967 and subsequent issues of Employment and Earnings
and Monthly Report on the Labor Force, the national data in sections B, C, and D supersede
those published in previous issues, as well as those appearing in the Handbook of Labor Statistics, 1967. Comparable data will be published in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the
United States, 1909-67, BLS Bulletin 1312-5.
With this issue, the BLS introduces industry titles conforming to the Bureau of the Budget's
standard list of short SIC titles--definitions unchanged.
