VOL.18 NO. 3 SEPTEMBER 1971

Editors' Note
Beginning with this issue, all national employment series in the establishment survey have been adjusted to March 1970 benchmarks. Hours, earnings, and labor turnover data may also have been revised
if there were any sizeable changes in the employment weights. The article, "BLS Establishment Estimates Revised to March 1970 Benchmark Levels" (pages 18-30), contains a detailed discussion of these
revisions. New seasonal factors for current adjustment may be found on pages 135-137, including, for
the first time, factors for average hourly earnings and for indexes of average hourly earnings adjusted
for interindustry employment shifts. Data in table C-10 (indexes of man-hours) and tables E-1, E-2,
E-3, and E-4 (job vacancies) have not yet been adjusted to reflect the effects of the new benchmarks.
The historical compendium, Employment and Earnings, United States, 1909-71, BLS Bulletin
1312-8 to be released later this year will contain historical data adjusted to March 1970 benchmarks.

Employment and Unemployment Developments,
August 1971
Total employment and unemployment rose in
August, as the labor force increased sharply,
after allowance for the usual seasonal changes.
The unemployment rate rose from 5.8 percent
in July to 6.1 percent in August.
The 260,000 gain in total employment (seasonally adjusted) brought the number at work
to an alltime high. The August rise occurred
almost entirely among adult women, The increase in unemployment^ on the other hand,
occurred largely among adult men and teenage boys. A curtailment in production in the
steel industry was the principal factor in the
rise in adult male unemployment,
Nonagricultural payroll employment remained
essentially unchanged in August, with gains in
several service-producing industries being offset by small declines in manufacturing and
construe tion.
Unemployment
jobless rate for married men, at 3.2 percent,
remained essentially unchanged over the month.
The unemployment rate for adult women, at
5.8 percent, showed little change from the
previous month; it has hovered around this
level since last fall. The rate for teenagers,
at 17.0 percent in August, also was not signifi«
cantly changed from the July level.
The over-the-month increase in unemployment occurred entirely among white workers.
Their rate advanced from 5.3 percent in July
to 5.6 percent in August. The rate for Negroes
(9.8 percent) showed little change from the
previous month.
A rise in the blue-collar unemployment rate,
from 7.1 percent in July to 7.6 percent in August,
appears to stem largely from developments in
the steel industry. An increase from 3.9 to
4.2 percent in the jobless rate for workers
covered by State unemployment i n s u r a n c e
programs was also attributable largely to the
same factor.
The bulk of the August rise in joblessness
stemmed from job loss (rather than from the
entry or re-entry of jobseekers into the labor
force). The increase resulted in a rise in the
number of workers unemployed less than 5 weeks
but had little effect on the average duration of
unemployment. At 11.5 weeks, seasonally adjusted, the average duration of unemployment
was unchanged from July; it has remained above
lloO weeks since May.
There were 5.1 million unemployed persons
in August. After allowance for the usual July-toAugust change, unemployment showed an overthe-month increase of 230,000. This raised the
seasonally adjusted unemployment rate from
5.8 to 6.1 percent. Increased joblessness occurred among both full- and part-time workers.
The jobless rate for all adult men, who accounted for about half of the rise in the number
of unemployed, edged up from 4.3 to 4.5 percent between July and August, returning to the Labor force and total employment
peak levels reached in late 1970 and in the
The Nation's civilian labor force increased
spring of 1971. The principal factor in the increase was the drop in steel production. The by 500,000 in August and attained an alltime
high of 84.3 million (seasonally adjusted). About
two-thirds of the August increase was among
adult women.
Total employment posted a seasonally adjusted
gain of about 260,000, also reaching an alltime
high. The over-the-month increase was largely
among part-time workers.
Over the year ending in August, the civilian
labor force has expanded by 1.6 million, while
employment has risen 700,000. More than onethird of the civilian labor force gain has been
accounted for by men in the 20-to-24 age group,
many of whom entered the job market upon
separation from the Armed Forces.
Vietnam Era veterans
About 3o9 million Vietnam Era veterans 20
to 29 years old were in the civilian labor
force in August 1971, an increase of 560,000
over the year (data not seasonally adjusted;
see table). Since last August, the number of
e m p l o y e d veterans has increased by about
440,000, to 3.5 million. A total of 320,000 veterans were unemployed this August, about the
same number as in July but nearly 120,000 more
than a year ago.
The unemployment rate for 20-29 year old
veterans was 8.4 percent in August, about
the same as a month earlier but significantly
higher than the rate for last August (6.2 percent). The jobless rate for nonveterans 20 to
29 years, at 7.0 percent in August, was below
that of veterans and has risen less than the
rate for veterans over the year.
Industry payroll employment
Nonagricultural payroll employment was unchanged between July and August, at 70.6 million, seasonally adjusted. Small employment
gains in trade and State and local government
were offset by declines in manufacturing and
contract construction. Since May, payroll employment has declined 220,000, erasing the gains
made earlier in the year.
Manufacturing employment was down 30,000 in
August, seasonally adjusted, the third straight
monthly reduction. The drop brought factory
employment to its lowest level in nearly 6 years.
The over-the-month decline resulted from a
45,000 drop in primary metals8 as employment in the other manufacturing industries was
little changed over the month. The decline in the
primary metals industry stemmed from the
curtailment in steel production; since May,
employment in this industry has fallen by 90,000.
In contract construction, employment edged
down in August for the fourth consecutive
month (by 15,000, seasonally adjusted). Employment in this industry was 100,000 below

War veterans are defined by the dates of their service in the United States Armed Forces. War veterans 20 to
29 years old are all veterans of the Vietnam Era (service at any time after Aug. 4, 1964), and they account for
about 85 percent of the Vietnam Era veterans of all ages. About 550,000 post-Korean-peacetime veterans 20 to 29
years old are not included in this table.
last August and 260,000 below the alltime high
reached in December 1969. In mining, a small
job gain resulted from the net return to payrolls of workers who had been on strike in the
copper industry.,
Employment increases in trade (35,000, seasonally adjusted) and State and local government (25,000) were partially offset by declines
in other service-producing i n d u s t r i e s . The
largest drop among these industries occurred
in transportation and public utilities (25,000),
due largely to new strike activity in the industry.
Hours of work
The average workweek for all rank-andfile workers on private nonagricultural payrolls edged up by 0.1 hour in August to 37.0
hours, seasonally adjusted. Average hours of
work have been either 36.9 or 37.0 hours for
eleven straight months.
The small rise in the nonfarm workweek
resulted mainly from a large increase in
average hours worked in transportation and
public utilities (1.5 hours, seasonally adjusted).
This reflected a return to normal work schedules in the telephone industry, where striking
employees had worked only part of the reference week in July.
In manufacturing, the average workweek was
39,9 hours (seasonally adjusted), down 0.1 hour
from July but within the narrow range of 39.840,0 hours that has prevailed since January.
The August change mainly reflected a sharp
drop in primary metals (0.8 hour). In most
other manufacturing industries, the average
workweek moved up over the month. Since
January, average weekly hours have risen in
15 of the 21 manufacturing industries«
Factory overtime hours dropped 0.1 hour
to 2.8 hours, seasonally adjusted, in August.
Overtime hours have moved between 2.8 and
3.0 hours since January.
Earnings
Average hourly earnings of rank-and-file
workers on private nonagricultural payrolls
were $3.44 in August, up 2 cents from July.
Compared with a year ago, average hourly
earnings were up 19 cents or 5.8 percent.
Average weekly earnings increased by $1.43
over the month to $129.00, as a result of increases in both the workweek and hourly
earnings. Compared with August 1970, average
weekly earnings were up by $6.80, or 5.6 percent. During the latest 12-month period for
which Consumer Price Index data are available—July 1970 to July 1971—4he index rose
4.4 percent.

BLS Establishment Estimates Revised to
March 1970 Benchmark Levels
*by Paul Armknecht
The BLS establishment survey provides timely
estimates on employment of all workers on nonagricultural payrolls, and hours and earnings of
rank and file workers in the private nonagricultural sector. Annually9 as more complete employment counts (benchmarks) become available,
the estimates are adjusted to reflect these new
levels. The adjustment affects most of the published series and, in general, means that the
employment series have been revised back to
the previous benchmark. The March 1970 benchmark review has been completed, and employment data from April 1969 through Jtily 1971
have been revised., Hours, earnings, labor turnover, and job vacancy estimates, which are
weighted by employment data, may also have
been revised as a result of shifts in employment levels.
The benchmark review is an integral part
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics establishment survey program. It serves as a quality
control process by providing both a precise
measure of employment levels and analyses of
series trends. New benchmarks are determined
for March of each year at the most detailed
industrial classification for which estimates
are made. The difference between the benchmark
and the corresponding estimate is wedged back
to the previous benchmark, and the intervening
monthly estimates are adjusted accordingly.
The benchmark level then is projected forward
to the current month based on the trend of
monthly reports submitted by a sample of employers. The estimates adjusted to the new levels
then are aggregated through successively inclusive series to total n o n a g r i c u l t u r a l
employment.
18
The March, 1970 total nonagricultural benchmark count of 70.4 million workers was 12,000
below the sample-based estimate, a difference
of only 0.02 percent. For each of the component
major divisions, the relative adjustment was
less than 0.5 percent. (See table lo)
Monthly estimates of employment, hours, and
earnings are published in considerable detaih
Using the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
system,, estimates are prepared at the industry
group level (three-digit SIC) for mostnonmanufacturing industries* Because of the size (about
30 percent of nonagricultural workers) and economic importance of the manufacturing division,
estimates are prepared and published at the
industry (four«digit SIC) level.
The degree of accuracy that can be assigned
to the estimates over time is of primary interesto Of the 201 industry groups for which
e m p l o y m e n t estimates are published, only
13 were revised by 5 percent or more. The
relative differences in revision among these
201 categories varies inversely with the size
of employment. This tendency is observed in
the distribution of industries by employment
size class and percentage revision. (See
table 2.)
The March 1970 estimates and benchmark
levels for the major industry groups (twodigit SIC) in manufacturing appear in table 3.
Of the 21 major groups in this division, 19 were
revised by less than 2 percent. Revisions were
somewhat larger for the basic component industries, but two-thirds of these differed by
less than 3 percent and only about one-tenth
differed by 5 percent or more.

Why estimates differ from benchmarks
One reason for differences between estimates
and benchmarks lies in the limitation of any
sample in representing a universe; that is, a
certain amount of error is to be expected
from sample-derived estimates. A complete
monthly count of employment would reflect
all changes in the level from month to month,
but complete coverage involving several million
reports each month would be prohibitively expensive and time consuming. Derived from a
19
sample of approximately 160,000 establishments, the BLS payroll series provides estimates at moderate cost within a month following
the reference week.
A second reason for differences between estimates and benchmarks is the procedure used
in keeping the industrial classification of es«
tablishments up to date. Establishments are
classified by industry according to their major
activities which are determined by the principal
product produced or handled, or services rendered*, Many establishments engage in more than
one activity. When the composition of their output or services changes such that what was once
a secondary product or activity becomes a pri~
mary one, the classification of the establishment
is changed to the industry of its new major activity. This change is not introduced into the
employment estimates at the time it occurs but
at the time of the annual benchmark adjustment
based on product information reported annually.
Thus, differences between estimates and benchmarks for an industry may result because the
estimates are tied to the former benchmark
levels and do not reflect intervening classification changes for individual establishments. At
the more detailed industry levels, particularly

or decreases. Between 1969 and 1970, the
effect of new firms entering manufacturing industries apparently was slightly less than anticipated.
A fourth, generally infrequent, cause of benchmark differences arises from improvements
in the quality of the benchmark data. The
most recent example of this type of revision
was the more comprehensive data on religious and charitable institutions which the
1965 benchmark revision introduced into the
employment levels.
In most instances of recent benchmark r e visions, 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 1966 is presented
in table 4.
The difference between estimates and benchmarks is assumed to have accumulated in constant increments over the previous 12 months.
Most series, therefore, are adjusted by wedging
within manufacturing, changes in classification
are the major cause of benchmark adjustment.
A third reason for benchmark differences
arises from the use of bias adjustment factors
based on past experience* The benchmark linkrelative employment estimating technique, which
is a form of ratio estimation, results in biased
estimates, because this technique cannot measure the employment of new firms entering the
economy during the current month. The size
of the bias (the influence of the employment of
new firms) is considered negligible for most
purposes; however, in the BLS establishment
survey, for which the previous month's estimate
is used to compute the current month's estimate, such bias would cumulate if counteracting
steps were not taken. Accordingly, small bias
correction factors are applied to the employment estimates each month. Because the size
of these factors must be determined by past
experience, small errors may arise if the rate
at which new firms enter an industry increases

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 to the current month using
the sample trend. The latter part of the r e vision is then subject to further change when
the March 1971 benchmarks are established.
The Bureau's reporting sample is also an
important source of benchmark information.
Since sample reports are current and are r e viewed monthly, reporting errors are disclosed
that otherwise may 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 source
are modified accordingly.
Benchmark source material
The most important sources of benchmark
information are the tabulations by industry and
employment-size group of reporting units for
the first quarter of the calendar year, compiled annually by the Manpower Administration,
These tabulations provide monthly employment
counts of establishments covered under State
unemployment insurance laws. Each calendar
quarter, covered employers file a report with
their respective State employment security
agencies. This report 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
provided to the Bureau of Labor Statistics for
benchmark purposes. Unemployment insurance
(UI) data account for approximately threefourths of the total nonagricultural employment
benchmark.
A number of industries, such as railroads,
private schools, hospitals, and nonprofit o r ganizations, are exempt from mandatory UI
coverage. In addition, the UI laws in 28 States
(as of January 1970) provide that employers of
fewer than a specified number (usually four)
of workers be exempt from coverage. Benchmark data for the latter as well as for certain
nonprofit institutions are obtained from the tabulations of employment and taxable wages of employees covered under social security laws as
published in County Business Patterns by the
Bureau of the Census. Beginning in 1972, however, all State unemployment insurance laws
should cover employers of one worker or more.
For the remaining industries, benchmark
data are obtained from several public and
private agencies including the Interstate Commerce Commission (interstate railroads)^ the
American Hospital Association (private nonprofit hospitals), the U.S. Office of Education
and the National Catholic Education Association (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 government).
Relation of benchmarks to other series
Benchmarks are not available for the hours
and earnings and labor turnover series. The
21
levels shown are derived from the BLS reporting sample only. For primary estimating
cells, i.e«, region and/or size strata within
the most detailed industry classifications, the
series are computed directly from reported
figures. Series for more inclusive categoriess
however, require a weighting mechanism to
yield meaningful averages. The employment
benchmarks are used as weights in computing
the hours and earnings averages and labor
turnover and job vacancy rates for broader
industry groupings.
Adjustment of the estimates to new benchmarks may result in reallocation of weights,
which, in turn, may change the averages. To
influence the average of a broad group, changes
in employment have to be relatively large
and must affect industries which have sub«
stantially higher or lower averages than the
other industries in their group. Generally speaking, the introduction of new benchmarks does
not change hours and earnings, labor turnover and job vacancy series for broader groupings by more than 0.1 hour, 1 cent, or (hi per
100 rate, respectively. The changes caused by
the 1970 benchmark revision are summarized
in table 5.
Revision of seasonally adjusted data
The BLS uses an adaption of the standard
ratio-to-moving average method for seasonally adjusting the employment, weekly hours,
and hourly earnings series. This method has
a provision for "moving* adjustment factors
to take account of changing seasonal patterns.
After another year of data is added to a series,
a number of the factors for the last few previous years will change slightly, even when
the unadjusted figures for previous years remain the same. Thus, at the time of the annual
benchmark revision, the seasonally adjusted
data are revised back for a period of 10 years
(in the present instance, from January 1961
forward), whereas the unadjusted series are
unchanged prior to April 1969. The changes
in most of the seasonally adjusted levels for
22
the earlier years, however, may be attributed
largely to differences due to rounding.
The BLS seasonal factor method was designed
for time series with steady or slowly changing
seasonal patterns and therefore does not reflect adequately abrupt shifts in seasonality such
as those experienced in retail trade employment
over the past 3 years. Special adjustments have
been used for many years in seasonally adjusting this employment series to compensate for
the shifting date of Easter. However, over
the past 3 Christmas seasons, there has been
a pronounced shift in the employment patterns
of the industry. To compensate for this abrupt
change in seasonal behavior, the employment
series has been adjusted in two stages—the
first for the 1961-67 period and the second
stage for the 1968-70 period. Charts 1 to 4
compare the seasonally adjusted series along
with the trend-cyclea seasonal, and irregular
components of the direct (1961-70) and two
stage (1961-67; 1968-70) adjustment processes
for the past 4 years. Direct adjustment results
in a patterned change in the irregular component for the months of December and January
during the 1968-70 period, indicating that some
seasonality was not accounted for by the factor.
This change does not occur in the two-stage
adjustment. Only minor differences show up
between the trend-cycle components.
The Bureau also makes special adjustments
in seasonally adjusting the employment series
for the transportation equipment industry to
compensate for the shifting dates of automobile
plant retooling during the summer months.
The Federal Government series is adjusted to
remove the effect of the temporary Christmas
postal workers.
New series published
Over the past year the scope and content of
Employment and Earnings has broadened. Data
on productivity, wages, man-hours, and compensation per man-hour, all of which are important factors in the determination of aggregate economic behavior, have become regular

items. Job vacancy information for manufacturing industries and employment for the cyclically important goods-producing and expansive
service-producing sectors were i n t r o d u c e d .
With the availability of January 1971 data, all
indexes were retabulated using a 1967 base;
this base shifting resulted in lower index levels
but not in any relative differences except, of
course, those arising from rounding.

Beginning with this issue of Employment and
Earnings many additional establishment series
are being published. Employment, hours, and
earnings data for nonsupervisory workers in
hospitals (SIC 806) appear for the first time
in tables B-2 and C«2. Formerly, seasonally
adjusted production workers and man-hour and
payroll indexes had been published only for
industrial and construction activities. In this
24
issue, tables B~6, C-6, and C-8 have been
expanded to include data for total private nonagricultural industries and private serviceproducing industries (transportation and public
utilities, trade, finance, and services divisions).
In addition, production-worker weekly overtime
hours in 46 four-digit manufacturing industries
are being published. Table 6 contains annual
average weekly overtime in these industries
for the 3 most recent years.
Employment for some industries not
published monthly
Monthly employment estimates are published
for most of the significant industries in the
nonagricultural sector. Those industries for
which monthly data are not published either
are too small or do not meet established publication standards. Employment benchmarks for
these industries are presented in table 7.

Seasonal Factors
The following tables present seasonal adjustment factors for series in the establishment sections 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 moveme.nts 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 1970 benchmark.

Technical Note
Employment
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from three
major sources: (1) Household interviews, (2) reports from employers, and (3) administrative statistics of unemployment
insurance systems.
Coverage. The household survey definition of employment
comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and
other private household workers), self-employed persons, and
unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during the survey
week in family-operated enterprises. Employment in both
agricultural and nonagricultural industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from a
sample survey of the population 16 years of age and over. The
survey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census
for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive
data on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed,
including such characteristics as age, sex, 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
50,000 households, representing 4 4 9 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.
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.
Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey includes
among the employed all persons who had jobs but were not at
work during the survey w e e k — t h a t is, were not working but
had jobs from which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or
because they were taking time off for various other reasons,
even if they were not paid by their employers for the time off.
In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on leave paid for
by the company are included, but not those on leave without
pay for the entire payroll period.
Data based on establishment records are compiled each
month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The establishment
surveys are designed to provide detailed industry information
on nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weekly
hours, average hourly and weekly earnings, job vacancies, and
labor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas.
The employment, hours, and earnings series are based on payroll
reports from a sample of establishments employing about 30
million nonagriculture 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. Based
on a somewhat smaller sample, labor turnover data relate to
actions occurring during the month while job vacancies pertain
to those outstanding at the end of the month.
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
Manpower Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."
Relation between the household and
establishment series
The household and establishment data supplement one
another, each providing significant types of information that the
other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, for
example, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derived
only from establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each other because
of differences in definition and coverage, sources of information,
methods of collection, and estimating procedures. Sampling
variability and response errors are additional reasons for discrepancies. The major factors which have a differential effect
on levels and trends of the two series arr as follows:
For a comprehensive discussion of the differences between
household and establishment survey employment data, see
Gloria P. Green's article "Comparing employment estimates
from household and payroll surveys," Monthly Labor Review,
December 1969. Reprints of this article are available upon
request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Hours 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 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 Manpower Administration of the Department
of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit
138
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).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment
compensation differ from the definition of unemployment used
in the household survey. For example, persons with a job but
not at work and persons working only a few hours during the
week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation
but are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the
household survey.
For an examination of the similarities and differences between State insured unemployment and total unemployment,
see "Measuring Total and State Insured Unemployment" by
Gloria P. Green in the June 1971 issue of the Monthly Labor
Review. Reprints of this article may be obtained upon request.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under 16 in the Statistical Research Service
(SRS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders who are
counted more than once if they 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.
its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the censuses of business establishments. The major
reasons for some noncomparability are different treatment of
business units considered parts of an establishment, such as
central administrative offices and auxiliary units, the industrial
classification of establishments, and different reporting patterns
by multiunit companies. There are also differences in the scope
of the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Business excludes
professional services, public utilities, and financial establishments, whereas these are included in BLS statistics.
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.
Employment covered by State unemployment insurance
programs. Not all nonagricultural 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 about half the States. In general, these are establishments
with less than four employees.
Additional information concerning the preparation of the
labor force, employment, hours, earnings, job vacancy,
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.
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
Labor Force Data
Collection and coverage
Statistics on the employment status of the population,
the personal, occupational, and other characteristics of the
employed, the unemployed, and persons not in the labor
force, and related data are compiled for the BLS by the
Bureau of the Census in its Current Population Survey (CPS).
A detailed description of this survey appears in "Concepts and
Methods Used in Manpower Statistics from the Current Population Survey" {BLS Report 313). This report is available from
BLS on request.
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, 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.
Each month, 50,000 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 50,000 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 tc
be common with the same month a year ago.
139
Concepts
rate, which is the ratio of the total labor force and the total noninstitutional population, and the civilian labor force participation rate, which is the ratio of civilian labor force and civilian
noninstitutional population. Participation rates are usually published for sex-age groups, often cross-classified by other demographic characteristics such as color and educational attainment.
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.
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
termporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation,
labor-management dispute, or personal reasons, whether or not
they were paid by their employers for the time off, and whether
or not they were seeking other jobs.
Each employed person is counted only once. Those who
held more than one job are counted in the job at which they
worked the greatest number of hours during the survey week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not living on the
premises of an Embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work
around the house (such as 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 a!l, 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 3 0 days.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous work experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for a job at the
time of interview, and reasons for not looking for work are compiled on a quarterly basis. As of January 1970, the detailed questions for persons not in the labor force are asked only in those
households that are in the fourth and eighth months of the sample, i.e., the "outgoing" groups, those which had been in the
sample for 3 previous months and would not be in for the subsequent month. Between 1967 and 1969, the detailed not-inlabor force questions were asked of persons in the first and fifth
months in the sample, i.e., the "incoming" groups.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the employed
apply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two or
more jobs are classified in the job at which they worked the
greatest number of hours during the survey week. The unemployed are classified according to their 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.
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.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salary
workers,"subdivided into private and government workers, "selfemployed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage and
salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or pay in
kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit. Selfemployed persons are those who work for profit or fees in their
own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm. Unpaid
family workers are persons working without pay for 15 hours a
week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a member
of the household to whom they are related by blood or marriage.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number of hours
worked during the survey week. For example, a person who normally works 4 0 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.
The distribution of employment by hours worked relate to
persons "at work" during the survey week. At-work data differ
from data on total employment because the latter include
persons in zero-hours worked category, "with a job but not at
work." Included in this latter group are persons who were on
vacation, ill, involved in a labor dispute, or otherwise absent
from their jobs for voluntary, noneconomic reasons.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment are divided into four major groups. (1) Job losers are persons whose
employment ended involuntarily who immediately began looking
for work and persons on layoff. (2) Job leavers are persons who
quit or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily and
immediately began looking for work. (3) Reentrants are persons
who previously worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
longer but who were out of the labor force prior to beginning to
look for work. (4) New entrants are persons who never worked
at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer.
The civilian labor force comprises the total of all civilians
classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the
criteria described above. The "total labor force" also includes
members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the United
States or abroad.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed
as a percent of the civilian labor force. This measure can also be
computed for groups within the labor force classified by sex, age,
marital status, color, etc. The job-loser, job-leaver, reentrant, and
new entrant rates are each calculated as a percent of the civilian
labor force; the sum of the rates for the four groups thus equals
the total unemployment rate.
Participation rates represent the proportion of the noninstitutional population that is in the labor force. Two types of participation rates are published: The total labor force participation
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey week are
designated as working "full time;" persons who worked between
140
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 ressons" include: Slack work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job during
the week, and inability to find full-time work. "Other reasons"
include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire for full-time work,
and full-time worker only during peak season. Persons on fulltime schedules include, in addition to those working 35 hours or
more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomic
reasons and usually work full time.
Full- and part-time labor force. The full-time labor force consists of persons working on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily working part time (because full-time 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 work lost an average of 37.5 hours,
(2) that those looking for part-time work lost the average number of hours actually worked by voluntary part-time workers
during the survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5 hours and the
actual number of hours they worked.
White and Negro and other races are terms used to describe
the color or race of workers. The Negro and other races category,
which had formerly been identified as "Nonwhite," includes all
persons who are observed in the enumeration process to be other
than white. At the time of the 1960 Census of Population, approximately 9 2 percent of the Negro and other races population
group were Negro; the remainder were American Indians,
Eskimos, Orientials, and other nonwhites. Tables in this volume
which contain these data utilize the word "color" to so indicate.
Major activity: going to school and m?j&r activity: other
are terms used to describe whether the activity of young persons
during the reference week was primarily one of going to school
or not. Statistics on major activities are published every month in
table A-5 for 16-21 year-olds by employment status, color, sex,
and, if unemployed, whether seeking full- or part-time work.
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. Noninterivew 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 or other reasons. This adjustment is made separately
by groups of sample areas and, within these, for six groups—
color (white and Negro and other races) within the three residence categories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The
141
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. This 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 United States 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 month-to-month changes especially and of the
levels for most items also.
Rounding of estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal the totals
shown in the same tables because of independent rounding of
totals and components to the nearest thousand. Differences,
however, are insignificant.
Reliability of the estimates
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 error of the
monthly level in table C, it may be seen that the standard error
of the 500,000 increase is about 126,000.

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

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 of the percentage, particularly if the percentage is
large (50 percent or greater). Table D shows the standard errors
for percentages derived from the survey. Linear interpolation may
be used for percentages and base figures not shown in table D.

Establishment Data
COLLECTION
All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings,
job vacancy, and labor turnover series are classified in accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau
of the Budget, 1967.
Payroll reports provide current information on wage and
salary employment, hours, earnings, job vacancies, and labor
turnover in nonagricultural establishments, by industry and
geographic location.
Industry employment
Federal-State cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, the
respondent fills out a single employment or job vacancy-labor
turnover reporting form, 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 establishment data to the
BLS for use in preparing the national series.
Shuttle schedules
Two types of data collection schedules are used: Form BLS
790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours;
and Form D L 1219-Monthly Report on Job Openings and
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 respondent can see the figures he has reported for
previous months.
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.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sick
leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), on paid
holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the
pay period 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
have not reported to work during the period.
Industry hours and earnings
Form BLS 7 9 0 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 manhours of production and related workers or nonsupervisory
workers for the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. Form D L 1219 provides for the collection of information on the total number of accessions and separations,
by type, during the calendar month, and three job vacancy
items as of the end of the month: Current job vacancies,
(i.e., vacancies available for immediate filling), current vacancies which have remained unfilled for 3 0 days or more, and
openings with future starting dates.
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 monthly 7 9 0 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.
Employment data, except those for the Federal Government,
refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received 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.
143
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 private
nonagricultural components. For Federal Government, hours
and earnings relate to all employees, both supervisory and nonsupervisory. Terms are defined below. When the pay period reported is longer than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weekly
basis.
Production and related workers include working foreman
and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees)
engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services, product
development, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g.,
power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely
associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees in
the contract construction division: Working foremen, journeymen, mechanic's 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.
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.
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. "Fringe benefits" (such as health and other types
of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc. paid by the
employer) are also excluded.
Man-hours cover man-hours 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.
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.
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 vyork 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' 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 earnings series does not measure the level
of total labor costs on the part of the employer since the
following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive items,
payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by
employers, and earnings for those employees not covered
under the production-worker, construction-worker, or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.
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. Monthly variations in such factors as proportion of part-time workers, stoppages for varying causes,
labor turnover during the survey period, and absenteeism for
which employees are not paid may cause the average workweek to fluctuate.
Long-term trends of gross average weekly earnings can be
affected by structural changes in the makeup of the work force.
144
For example, persistent long-term increases in the proportion
of part-time workers in retail trade and many of the service
industries has reduced average workweeks in these industries and
has affected the average weekly earnings series.
Average weekly hours
The workweek information relates to the average hours
for which pay was received and is different from standard or
scheduled hours. Such factors as unpaid absenteeism, labor
turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly
hours to be lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group averages further reflect changes in the workweek of component industries.
Average overtime hours
The overtime hours represent the 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-to-month; for example, overtime premiums may be paid for hours in excess
of the straight-time workday although less than a full week
is worked. Diverse trends at the industry-group level also
may be caused by a marked change in 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 (Manpower Administration), County Business Patterns
(Bureau of the Census), and additional supporting information
such as The Hospital Guide, Part I I , of the American Hospital
Association and special studies by the National Council of
Churches supplement data for certain industry groups within the
service division.
For a technical description of this series, see the article,
"Hours and Earnings for Workers in Private Nonagricultural Industries," published in the May 1967 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, reduced to a weekly
basis, by the number of employees, as defined above. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weekly
hours by average hourly earnings.
worker or nonsupervisory worker employment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of man-hour aggregates and
average hourly earnings. At all higher levels of aggregation,
man-hour and payroll aggregates are the sum of the component aggregates.
Spendable average weekly earnings
Labor turnover
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security and income taxes from average weekly earnings. The amount of income tax liability depends on the number of dependents
supported by the worker 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 gross average weekly earnings for all production or
nonsupervisory workers in the industry division excluding other
income and income earned by other family members.
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 series reflects the spendable earnings of only those workers, with either none or three dependents, whose gross weekly
pay approximates the average earnings indicated for all production and nonsupervisory workers. It does not reflect, for example, the average earnings of all workers with three dependents;
such workers, in fact have higher gross average earnings than
workers with no dependents.
Since part-time as well as full-time workers are included,
and since the proportion of part-time workers has been rising,
the series understates the increase in earnings for full-time workers. As noted, "fringe benefits" are not included in the earnings.
For a more complete discussion of the uses and limitations of
these series, see the article by Paul M. Schwab, " T w o Measures
of Purchasing Power Contrasted," in the Monthly Labor Review
for April 1 9 7 1 . Reprints of this article are available from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current Consumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the current
month. This is done for gross average weekly earnings and for
spendable average weekly earnings. The level of earnings is thus
adjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base period
(1967).
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.
Other accessions, which are not published separately but are
included in total accessions, are ail additions to the employment
roll which are not classified as new hires, including transfers
from other establishments of the company and employees
recalled from layoff.
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.
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.
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay are
computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for
the industry group by the sum of total production-worker manhours 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 VA times
the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday work, late-shiftwork
and overtime rates other than time and one-half.
Relationship of labor turnover to
employment series
Indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls
and man-hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours are
prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the
monthly average for the 1967 period. The man-hour aggregates are the product of average weekly hours and production-
145
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.
Job vacancies
Job vacancies are the stock of unfilled job openings as of the
close of the last business day of the reference month. Openings
for all kinds of positions, classifications and employment, full
time, part time, permanent, temporary, and seasonal are included. Excluded are jobs to be filled by recall from layoff,
transfer, promotion, demotion or return from paid or unpaid
leave; jobs unoccupied because of labor-management disputes;
job openings for which "new" workers were already hired and
scheduled to start work later; and openings with future starting
dates, which are requested as a separate item.
Job vacancies are defined as vacant jobs which are immediately available for filling, and for which the firm is actively trying to find or recruit workers from outside the firm.
"Actively trying to find or recruit" means that the establishment is engaged in current efforts to fill the job vacancies by
means of orders listed with public or private employment agencies and school placement offices; notification to labor unions
and professional organizations; "help wanted" advertising (newspaper, posted notice, etc.) recruitment programs; and interview
and selection of applicants.
Long-term job vacancies are those current vacancies which
have continued unfilled for 30 days or more.
The reporting establishment is also asked to indicate the
number of openings with future starting dates for which the firm
is actively trying to recruit workers from outside the firm.
Job openings with future starting dates may exist for such
reasons as: Job unavailable until expected separation of present
incumbent occurs; work will not start until some future date;
new branch to be opened in the future; or anticipated increase in
business.
The job vacancy rate is computed by dividing the number of
current job vacancies by the sum of employment plus vacancies,
and multiplying that quotient by 100.
Occupational classifications are made in accordance with
those established in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, Third
Edition, U.S. Department of Labor, 1965.
ESTIMATING METHODS
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.
Size and regional stratification
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight the hours and earnings into broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the
term is used in the summary of computational methods, 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 nonagricultural industries, and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The industry estimates are
currently projected from March 1970 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made annually.
The primary sources of benchmark information are 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 nonagricultural employment in the United States, are
prepared under the direction of the Manpower Administration.
Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the records
of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and a number of other agencies in private industry
or government.
The estimates 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 is then carried forward
progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.
Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish
the level of employment; the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level. A comparison of the actual
amounts of revisions made in the last 3 benchmark years is
shown in table E.
Table E. Nonagricultural payroll employment estimates,
by industry divisions, as a percentage of the benchmark
for 1968-1970
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." In
addition, small bias correction factors are applied to selected employment estimates each month. The size of the bias correction
factors is determined from past experience. Other features of the
general procedures are described later in table L, Summary of

social statistics. Table F 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.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which the
series has been adjusted are subject 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
The sampling plan used in the current employment statistics
program is known as "sampling proportionate to average size of
establishment." This design is an optimum allocation design
among strata since the sampling variance is proportional to the
average size of establishments. 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
number of sample units 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 noncertainty stratum the sample members are selected at random.
Under this type of design, large establishments fall into the
sample with certainty. The size of the sample for the various
industries is determined empirically on the basis of experience
and of cost considerations. In a manufacturing industry in
which a high proportion of total employment is concentrated
in relatively few establishments, a large percentage of total employment is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample
design for such industries provides for a complete census of the
large establishments with only a few chosen from among the
smaller establishments or none at all if the concentration of employment is great enough. On the other hand, in an industry in
which a large proportion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all large establishments and also for a substantial number of the small ones.
Many industries in the trade and services divisions fall into this
category. To keep the sample to a size which can be handled by
available resources, it is necessary to 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.
In the context of the BLS employment and job vacancylabor turnover statistics programs, with their emphasis on producing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be obtained
which will provide coverage of a sufficiently large segment of the
universe to provide reasonably reliable estimates that can be
published promptly and regularly. The present sample meets
these specification 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.

Reliability of the employment estimates
Although the relatively large size of the BLS establishment
sample assures a high degree of accuracy, the estimates derived
from it may differ from the figures that would be obtained if it
were possible to take a complete census using the same schedules
and procedures. As discussed under the previous section, a link
relative technique is used to estimate employment. This requires
the use of the previous month's estimate as the base in computing the current month's estimate. Thus, small sampling and response errors may cumulate over several months. T o remove this
accumulated error, the estimates are adjusted annually to new
benchmarks. In addition to taking account of sampling and
response errors, 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. Table H presents the average percent revisions of the six most recent benchmarks for major
industry divisions. Detailed descriptions of individual benchmark revisions are available from the Bureau upon request.
and earnings estimated, however, are subject to sampling errors
which may be expressed as relative errors of the estimates. (A
relative error is a standard error expressed as a percent of the
estimate.) Relative errors for major industries are presented
in table H and for individual industries with the specified number of employees in table I. The chances are about 2 out of 3
that the hours and earnings estimates from the sample would
differ by a smaller percentage than the relative error from the
averages that would have been obtained from a complete census.
One measure of the reliability of the employment estimates for
individual industries is the root-mean-square error (RMSE). The
measure is the standard deviation adjusted for the bias in esti mates
(RMSE=V<Standard Deviation) 2 + (Bias) 2 ) .
If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from its benchmark by less
than the root-mean-square error. The chances are about 19 out
of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the root-meansquare error.

Reliability of job vacancy estimates
As with the employment estimates, the estimates derived
from the job vacancy 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.
Measures of reliability for the job vacancy estimates are
given by the relative errors in table K. The chances are

from a complete census by a smaller percentage than the relative
error. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference
would be a smaller percentage than twice the relative error.

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
1
State and area employment, hours, earnings, job vacancy,
and labor turnover data are collected and prepared by State
agencies in cooperation with BLS. The area statistics relate
to metropolitan areas. Definitions for all areas are published
each year in the issue of Employment and Earnings that contains State and area annual averages (usually the May issue).
Changes in defintions are noted as they occur. Additional industry detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed
on the inside back cover of each issue. These statistics are based
on the same establishment reports used by BLS for preparing
national estimates. For employment, the sum of the State fig-
Expressed as a percent of the estimate.
ures may differ slightly from the equivalent official U.S. totals
on a national basis, because some States have more recent
benchmarks than others and because of the effects of differing
industrial and geographic stratification.
For the States and the areas shown in the B and C sections
of this periodical, all the annual average data for the detailed
industry statistics currently published by each cooperating
State agency are presented (from the earliest date of availability
of each series) in a summary volume published annually by the
BLS.
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 and workers who have not earned rights to
unemployment insurance. In general, excluded from coverage
are those persons who worked in firms whose size excluded
them from the unemployment insurance laws, as well as many
persons engaged in agriculture, domestic service, unpaid family
work, selected nonprofit organizations, State and local government and self-employment. Also excluded from the insured unemployment count, but included as employed in the household
survey, are those persons who earned no wages during the payroll period because they were temporarily absent from their jobs
due to taking time off, illness and industrial dispute as well as
149
unpaid vacations. 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 meaure, 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 Manpower Administration,
Washington, D.C. 20210.
Seasonal Adjustments
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTS
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
be 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.
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
hours, earnings, 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 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, are obtained by multiplying average weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production
or nonsupervisory workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing
by the 1967 base. For total private, total goods producing,
total private service producing, trade, 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 1967 base.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for Federal
Government are based on a series which excludes the Christmas
temporary help employed by the Postal Service in December,
The employment of these workers constitutes the only significant seasonal change in Federal Government employment
during the winter months. Furthermore, the volume of such
employment may change substantially from year to year because
of administrative decisions by the Postal Service. Hence, it was
considered desirable to exclude this group from the data upon
which the seasonally adjusted series is based.
The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishment
data reflect experience through May 1971.
Seasonal factors
to be used for current adjustment are shown in the September
1971 Employment and Earnings, and revisions will be made
coincidental with the adjustment of series to new benchmark
levels.
For each of the three major labor force components—agricultural and n onagri cultural 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 1970 are published
in the February 1971 Employment and Earnings. Revisions will
be made annually as each additional year's data become available.
The seasonal adjustment method used by BLS requires the
use of at least 8 years of data, although there are special adjustment programs for as few as 3 years. Since collection of
job vacancy information was begun in January 1969, the data
necessary to seasonally adjust this series are not yet available. All
job vacancy information published in Employment and Earnings
is, therefore, on an unadjusted basis.
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, earnings, job vacancy, and labor turnover series because employment levels are used as weights. Industry data for
all national series shown in this report have been adjusted to
March 1970 benchmarks. Data from April 1970 forward are
subject to revision at the time of the next benchmark.
Beginning with the September 1971 and subsequent issues of
150
Employment and Earnings, 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, 1971.
Comparable data will be published in Employment and Earnings,
United States, 1909-71, BLS Bulletin 1312-8.
Job vacancy data have not been adjusted to reflect the effects
of March 1970 benchmark employment levels and may be subjusted to change.
