Employment and Unemployment
Developments, August 1992
Nonfarm payroll employment declined in August and
unemployment was about unchanged. The number of payroll jobs, which had increased in July, declined by 83,000
in August. Private payrolls fell by 167,000, with especially
large job losses in manufacturing and retail trade. At 7.6
percent in August, the jobless rate has come down slightly
from its recent June high of 7.8 percent. The 2-month
decline, however, was essentially confined to teenagers.
Unemployment
Both the number of unemployed persons, 9.7 million,
and the unemployment rate, 7.6 percent, were virtually
unchanged in August from the prior month. The unemployment rate for teenagers (19.8 percent) improved
slightly, while jobless rates for adult men (7.3 percent),
adult women (6.5 percent), whites (6.6 percent), blacks
(14.3 percent), and Hispanics (11.2 percent) all showed
little or no movement. The decrease in the teenage unemployment rate was the second consecutive monthly
decline, following a sharp rise in June, and reflects the impact of the special summer jobs program. (See tables A-33
and A-34.)
Two other key unemployment measures, the number of
long-term unemployed and job losers, held at about their
July levels. (See tables A-40 and A-41.)
Over the past year, the number of unemployed persons
increased by 1.2 million and the rate rose by 0.8 percentage
point. About two-thirds of the increase in unemployment
has been among persons who lost a job to which they do not
expect to be recalled—"other job losers." (See table A-41.)
Total employment and the labor force
At 117.7 million in August, total employment was
about the same as in the prior month. The employmentpopulation ratio—the percent of the working-age population that is employed—was 61.4 percent. The ratio has
remained in a range of 61.2 to 61.6 percent since the spring
of 1991, well below the peak of 63.1 percent reached in
March 1990. (See table A-33.)
The civilian labor force, at 127.4 million in August, was
little changed from the June-July levels. Between last
November and June, the labor force had grown by 2.2 million. The labor force participation rate—the percent of the
working-age population that is either working or looking
for work—edged down to 66.4 percent from its all-time
high of 66.6 percent last reached in the prior 2 months.
(See table A-33.)
Industry payroll employment
Nonfarm payroll employment declined by 83,000 in
August, despite further increases in local government jobs.
Excluding government, payroll employment declined by
167,000 in August, following a 95,000 gain in the prior
month. The large increases in local government employment—63,000 in July and 88,000 in August—reflected the
special Federally funded summer youth job programs.
(See table B-4.)
Manufacturing employment declined sharply in
August, falling by 97,000. This was the second decrease in
the last 3 months, following a short period of stability. Job
losses were widespread over the month. Some were part of
longer-term cutbacks—industrial machinery, electronic
equipment, transportation equipment (mostly aircraft),
and instruments. Other losses, such as those in apparel and
food processing, followed unusually large increases in
July. In all, 16 of the 20 individual industries within manufacturing had employment losses in August, as the factory job total reached its lowest point since April 1983.
Construction industry employment remained weak in
August. After seasonal adjustment, the number of construction jobs was slightly lower than last winter, as losses
in summer months offset gains in the spring.
Retail trade employment declined by 71,000 in August.
Job losses continued in general merchandise stores, and an
employment decrease in eating and drinking places
reversed an increase in the prior month. Wholesale trade
edged down by 8,000 in August; this industry has not
shown an increase in over 2 years.
The services industry added 22,000 jobs over the
month—well below the average monthly gain of 50,000
over the past year. Business services continued to grow at a
relatively slow pace, after a more vigorous expansion during the spring months. Similarly, the August job gain in
health services was slightly smaller than this industry's
average so far in 1992. A small employment increase in
finance, insurance, and real estate, on the other hand, offset some of the losses in prior months.

seasonal variation.
NOTE: Revisions of seasonally adjusted monthly and quarterly data
(shown in tables A-1 through A-3 and A-32 through A-53) for the most
recent 5-year period are made at the end of each calendar year.
Weekly hours
The average workweek for private production or nonsupervisory workers increased 0.4 hour to 34.7 hours.
There were no changes in the manufacturing workweek and factory overtime, which have held at 41.0
and 3.8 hours, respectively, throughout the summer. (See
table C-5.)
The index of aggregate weekly hours of private production or nonsupervisory workers increased 0.8 percent to
121.8 (1982=100) in August, after seasonal adjustment,
as the large increase in hours more than offset the employ-
ment decline. In contrast, the manufacturing index
declined 0.7 percent to 101.9. (See table C-6.)
Hourly and weekly earnings
Average hourly earnings rose by 0.7 percent in August
and weekly earnings were up 1.8 percent, after seasonal
adjustment. Prior to seasonal adjustment, average hourly
earnings increased 4 cents to $10.56 and average weekly
earnings increased $5.61 to $369.60. Over the past year,
average hourly and weekly earnings increased 2.6 and 3.5
percent, respectively. (See tables C-l and C-7.)

Employed persons with a job but not at work and persons at work part time are
distributed according to whether they usually work full or part time.
2
Data not shown where base is less than 75,000.
NOTE: In the summer months, the educational attainment levels of youth not
enrolled in school are increased by the temporary movement of high school and
college students into that group. Educational attainment levels, beginning January
1992, have been revised to reflect degrees or diplomas received rather than years
of school completed. The sum of these categories may not equal totals because of
the estimation procedures used. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin
groups will not sum to totals because data for the "other races" group are not
presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population
groups.

A Note on Average Hourly Earnings
in Aircraft (SIC 3721) and Guided Missiles
and Space Vehicles (SIC 3761) Manufacturing
For many years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics average
hourly earning series for production workers in aircraft
manufacturing (SIC 3721) and guided missiles and space
vehicles manufacturing (SIC 3761) have been used to
escalate labor costs in contracts between aerospace
companies and their customers. Although the Bureau's
series by definition take account of traditional wage rate
changes, they do not capture "lump-sum payments to
workers in lieu of general wage increases" which were
negotiated in aerospace manufacturers' collective bargaining agreements beginning in late 1983.
Because of special circumstances in the aerospace
industry, BLS has calculated average hourly earnings
series for SIC 3721 and SIC 3761 which include lump-sum
payments. These series, beginning in October 1983, the
effective date of the first aerospace bargaining agreement
using lump-sum payments, were published in the June
1988 issue of Employment and Earnings. Current and year
earlier data are presented in table C-2a along with the
average hourly earnings series produced as part of the
Current Employment Statistics program. An explanation
of the methodology used to derive these series appears in
the Explanatory Notes of this publication.

Explanatory Notes
Introduction
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from two
major sources: (1) Household interviews, and (2) reports
from employers.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from
the Current Population Survey (CPS), a sample survey of
the population 16 years of age and over. The Bureau of the
Census conducts the survey each month 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, race, family relationship,
marital status, occupation, and industry attachment. The
survey also provides data on the characteristics and past
work experience of those not in the labor force. Trained
interviewers collect the information from a sample of
about 60,000 households, representing 729 areas in 1,973
counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50 States
and the District of Columbia. The data collected are based
on the activity or status reported for the calendar week
including the 12th of the month.
Data based on establishment records are compiled each
month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The Current
Employment Statistics (CES) survey is designed to provide industry information on nonfarm wage and salary
employment, average weekly hours, average hourly
earnings, and average weekly earnings for the Nation,
States, and metropolitan areas. The employment, hours,
and earnings series are currently based on payroll reports
from a sample of over 350,000 establishments employing
over 41 million nonfarm wage and salary workers. The
data relate to all workers, full or part time, who receive pay
during the payroll period which includes the 12th day of
the month.
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 definitions and coverage, source 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 the levels and trends of
the two series follow.
Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition of employment
covers 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 nonfarm establishments.
Multiplejobholding. The household survey provides information on the work status of the population without
duplication, because 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 reports, persons who
worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each time their names appear on
payrolls.
Unpaid absencesfrom jobs. The household survey includes
among the employed all civilians who had jobs but were
not at work during the survey week—that is, were not
working but had jobs from which they were temporarily
absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation, labormanagement disputes, 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.
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.
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
131
distributions and the computations of average hours. In
the payroll survey, production or nonsupervisory
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.
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.
Earnings
The household survey measures median earnings of
wage and salary workers in all occupations and industries
in both the private and public sectors. Data refer to the
usual earnings received from the worker's sole or primary
job. Data from the establishment survey generally refer to
average earnings of production and related workers in
mining and manufacturing, construction workers in construction, and nonsupervisory employees in private
service-producing industries. For a comprehensive discussion of the household survey earnings series, see Technical
Description of the Quarterly Data on Weekly Earnings
from the Current Population Survey, BLS Bulletin 2113.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of
Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the
inclusion of persons under 16 in the Economics and
Statistics Service series and the treatment of dual
jobholders, who are counted more than once if they work
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 their impact on differences in
the levels and trends of the two series.
COMPARABILITY OF HOUSEHOLD DATA WITH
OTHER SERIES
Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the
Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ
from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the
Census from its censuses or sample surveys of manufacturing and business establishments. The major reasons for
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 the BLS statistics.
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, whether or not they were
eligible for unemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by the Employment
and Training Administration of the Department of Labor,
exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit rights,
new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment
insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment insurance systems (some workers in agriculture,
domestic services, and religious organizations, and selfemployed and unpaid family workers). Beginning in
January 1978, coverage was extended to include domestic
workers whose employers paid $1,000 or more in wages in
any calendar quarter, agricultural employees whose
employers engaged 10 or more workers in 20 weeks or paid
a total of $20,000 or more in wages in any calendar
quarter, and almost all State and local government
employees.
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.
132
COMPARABILITY OF PAYROLL EMPLOYMENT
DATA WITH OTHER SERIES
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business
Patterns (CBP), published by the Bureau of the Census,
U.S. Department of Commerce, 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. Most nonfarm wage and salary workers are
covered by the unemployment insurance programs.
However, certain activities, such as interstate railroads,
parochial schools, and churches are not covered by unemployment insurance, but the BLS establishment statistics
do include these activities.
Household Data
(A tables)
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 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 Labor Force Statistics Derived from the
Current Population Survey, BLS Report 463. Historical
national data through 1987 are published in Labor Force
Statistics Derived From the Current Population Survey,
BLS Bulletin 2307.
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted
through a scientifically selected sample designed to
represent the civilian noninstitutional population. 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 day of the month. This
is known as the survey week. Actual field interviewing is
conducted during the following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 16 years of
age are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations,
and they are excluded from the population and labor force
statistics shown in this publication. Data on the members
of the Armed Forces stationed in the United States, who
are included as part of the special categories "noninstitutional population," "labor force," and "total employment," are obtained from the Department of Defense. (See
tables A-l, A-2, A-32, and A-42.)
Each month about 60,000 occupied units are eligible for
interview. About 2,600 of these households are contacted,
but interviews are not obtained because the occupants are
not at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for
other reasons. This results in a noninterview rate for the
survey of between 4 and 5 percent. In addition to the
60,000 occupied units, there are 11,500 sample units in an
average month which are visited but found to be vacant or
otherwise not enumerated. Part of the sample is changed
each month. The rotation plan, as explained later,
provides for three-fourths of the sample to be common
from one month to the next, and one half to be common
with the same month a year earlier.
CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS
The concepts and definitions underlying labor force
data have been modified, but not substantially altered,
since the inception of the survey in 1940; those used since
1967 are as follows:
Employed persons are (a) all civilians who, during the
survey week, did any work at all as paid employees, in their
own business, profession, or on their own farm, or who
worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of the family; and (b) all those
who were not working but who had jobs or businesses from
which they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad
weather, vacation, labor-management disputes, or personal reasons, whether they were paid for the time off or
were seeking other jobs.
Each employed person is counted only once, even if he
or she holds more than one job. Multiple jobholders 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 who are temporarily in the United States but not
living on the premises of an embassy. Excluded are
persons whose only activity consisted of work around their
own houses (painting, repairing, or housework) or
volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar
organizations.
Unemployed persons are all civilians who had no
employment during the survey week, were available for
work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific
efforts to find employment some time during the prior 4
weeks. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job
from which they had been laid off or were waiting to report
to a new job within 30 days need not be looking for work to
be classified as unemployed.
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. Two useful
measures of the duration are the mean and the median.
Mean duration is the arithmetic average computed from
single weeks of unemployment; median duration is the
midpoint of a distribution of weeks of unemployment.
Unemployment is also categorized according to the
status of individuals at the time they began to look for
work. The 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 fulltime job lasting 2 weeks or longer but were out of the labor
133
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. Each of these four categories of the unemployed may be expressed as an unemployment rate or
proportion of the entire civilian labor force; the sum of the
four rates thus equals the unemployment rate for all
civilian workers.
Jobseekers are all unemployed persons who made
specific efforts to find a job sometime during the 4-week
period preceding the survey week. Jobseekers do not include those persons unemployed because they (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 job within 30
days. Jobseekers are grouped by the methods used to seek
work, including going to a public or private employment
agency or to an employer directly, seeking assistance from
friends or relatives, placing or answering ads, or using
some other method. Examples of the "other" category include being on a union or professional register, obtaining
assistance from a community organization, or waiting at a
designated labor pickup point.
The civilian labor force comprises all civilians classified
as employed or unemployed in accordance with the
criteria described above.
The civilian worker 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, race, Hispanic
origin, marital status, etc.
Participation rates represent the proportion of the population that is in the labor force. The civilian laborforce participation rate is the ratio of the civilian labor force to the
civilian noninstitutional population. Civilian labor force
participation rates are usually published for sex-age
groups, often cross-classified by other demographic
characteristics such as race and educational attainment.
Employment-population ratios represent the proportion
of the population that is employed. The civilian employment-population ratio is the percentage of all employed
civilians in the civilian noninstitutional population.
Not in the labor force includes all persons 16 years and
over who are not classified as employed or unemployed.
These persons are further classified as engaged in ownhome housework, in school, unable to work because of
long-term physical or mental illness, retired, or other. The
"other" group includes individuals reported as too old or
temporarily unable to work, the voluntarily idle, seasonal
workers for whom the survey week fell in an offseason and
who were not reported as looking for work, and persons
who did not look for work because they believed that no
jobs were available in the area or that no jobs were available for which they could qualify—discouraged workers.
Persons doing only incidental, unpaid family work (less
than 15 hours in the specified week) are also classified as
not in the labor force.
134
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous
work experience, intentions to seek work, desire for a job
at the time of interview, and reasons for not looking for
work are published 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 the
previous 3 months and would not be in for the subsequent
month. Between 1967 and 1969, these questions were
asked in those households entering the sample for the first
time and those returning for the second 4 months of interviewing, 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
last full-time job lasting 2 weeks or more. The classifications of occupations and industries used in data derived
from the CPS are defined as in the 1990 census. Information on the detailed categories included in these groups is
available upon request.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies wage and
salary workers subdivided into private and government
workers; self-employed workers; and unpaid family
workers. Wage and salary workers receive wages, salary,
commission, tips, or pay in kind from a private employer
or from a governmental unit. Self-employed persons are
those who work for profit or fees in their 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
birth or marriage.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number of
hours worked during the survey week. For example, persons who normally work 40 hours a week but were off on
the Columbus Day holiday would be reported as working
32 hours even though they were 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; all
the hours are credited to the major job.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more during the
survey week are designated as working/w// time. Persons
who worked between 1 and 34 hours are designated as
working part time. Part-time workers are classified by
their usual status at their present job (either full or part
time) and by their reason for working part time during the
survey week (economic or noneconomic reasons).
Economic reasons include: Slack work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of
a job during the week, and inability to find full-time work.
Noneconomic reasons include: Labor dispute, bad
weather, own illness, vacation, demands of home or
school, no desire for full-time work, and full-time worker
only during peak season. Persons on full-time schedules
include, in addition to those working 35 hours or more,
those who worked from 1 to 34 hours for noneconomic
reasons and usually work full time.
Data on employment "at work" differ from data on total employment because they exclude persons in the zerohours-worked category, "with a job but not at work."
These are persons who were absent from their jobs for the
entire week for such reasons as bad weather, vacation,
illness, or involvement in a labor dispute.
Employed persons are also categorized into full-and
part-time groupings based primarily on their usual status.
In this context, full-time workers are those who (a) worked 35 hours or more during the survey week, (b) worked 1
to 34 hours for economic or noneconomic reasons, but
usually work full time, and (c) were with a job but not at
work and usually work full time. Similarly, part-time
workers are those who (a) voluntarily worked 1 to 34 hours
during the survey week, (b) worked 1 to 34 hours for
economic reasons, but usually work part time, i.e., persons
who could only find part-time work, and (c) were with a
job but not at work and usually work part time.
Unemployment rates for full-and part-time workers are
calculated using the concepts of the full-and part-time
laborforce which are based on the type of job—full or part
time—that persons—whether working or unemployed—
say they want. The "full-time labor force" includes all persons working part time but who desire full-time work, that
is, working part time for economic reasons. Thus, this
category consists of persons on full-time schedules; all persons involuntarily working part time regardless of their
usual status; 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. Employed persons with a job but not at
work are distributed according to whether they usually
work on full-time or voluntary part-time schedules.
Laborforce time lost is a measure of aggregate hours lost
to the economy through unemployment and involuntary
part-time employment and is expressed as a percent of potentially available aggregate hours. It is computed by assuming that: (1) unemployed persons looking for full-time
work lost an average of 37.5 hours, (2) 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) persons on part time for economic reasons
lost the difference between 37.5 hours and the actual
number of hours they worked.
White, black, and other are terms used to describe the
race of workers. Included in the "other" group are American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asians and Pacific
Islanders. All tables in this publication which contain racial data, with the exception of A-5 and its annual counterpart, present data for the black population group. Because
of their relatively small sample size, data for "other" races
are not published. In the enumeration process, race is determined by the household respondent.
Hispanic origin refers to persons who identified themselves in the enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto
Rican living on the mainland, Cuban, Central or South
American, or of other Hispanic origin or descent. Persons
of Hispanic origin may be of any race; thus they are included in both the white and black population groups.
Vietnam-era veterans are those who served in the Armed
Forces of the United States between August 5, 1964, and
May 7, 1975. Data are limited to men in the civilian noninstitutional population; i.e., veterans in institutions and
women are excluded. Nonveterans are men who never
served in the Armed Forces.
Usual weekly earnings data are provided from responses
to the question "How much does...USUALLY earn per
week at this job before deductions?" Included are any
overtime pay, commissions, or tips usually received. The
term "usual" is as perceived by the respondent. If the
respondent asks for a definition of usual, the interviewer
defines the term as more than half the weeks worked during the past 4 or 5 months. Data refer to wage and salary
workers (excluding the incorporated self-employed) who
usually work full time on their sole or primary job.
Median earnings indicate the value which divides the
earnings distribution into two equal parts, one part having
values above the median and the other having values below
the median. The medians as shown in this publication are
calculated by linear interpolation of the $50 centered interval within which each median falls.
Data expressed in constant dollars are deflated by the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).
Single, never married; married, spouse present; and other
marital status are terms used to define the marital status of
individuals at the time of interview. Married, spouse
present, applies to husband and wife if both were reported
as members of the same household even though one may
be temporarily absent on business, vacation, on a visit, in a
hospital, etc. Other marital status applies to persons who
are married, spouse absent; widowed; or divorced.
Married, spouse absent, includes persons who are
separated because of marital discord, as well as persons
who are living apart because either the husband or the wife
was employed and living away from home, serving in the
Armed Forces, or had a different place of residence for any
reason.
A household consists of all persons—related family
members and all unrelated persons—who occupy a housing unit. A house, an apartment, a group of rooms, or a
single room is regarded as a housing unit when occupied or
intended for occupancy as separate living quarters.
A householder is the person (or one of the persons) in
whose name the housing unit is owned or rented. The term
is never applied to either husbands or wives in married-
135
couple families but relates only to persons in families
maintained by either men or women without a Family refers to a group of two or more persons residing spouse.
Family refers to a group of two or more persons residing
together who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption;
all such persons are considered as members of one family
even though they may include a related subfamily, that is,
a married couple or a parent-child group related by birth
or marriage to the householder and sharing the living
quarters. The count of families used in this publication excludes unrelated subfamilies such as lodgers, guests, or
resident employees living in a household but not related to
the householder. Families are classified either as marriedcouple families or as families maintained by women or
men without spouses. A family maintained by a woman or
a man is one in which the householder is either single,
widowed, divorced, or married, spouse absent. Data on the
earnings of families exclude all those in which there is no
wage or salary earner or in which the husband, wife, or
other persons maintaining the family are either
self-employed or in the Armed Forces.
Poverty areas are defined as those census tracts in
tracted areas, and Minor Civil Divisions (MCD's) in untracted areas, in which 20 percent or more of the noninstitutional residents were poor according to the 1980
decennial census. Persons were classified as poor or nonpoor by comparing money income to a series of poverty
income thresholds which vary by family size and number
of children. While poverty areas have a substantial concentration of low-income residents, many poor persons
live outside these areas, and conversely, the areas include
many people who are not poor.
The metropolitan areas classification consists of the
total of all Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA's) as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as
of June 30, 1983. A detailed discussion of the MSA definitions as well as changes in terminology can be found in
"The New Metropolitan Area Definitions" section of the
1980 Census of Population Supplementary Report on
Metropolitan Statistical Areas, PC-S1-18. Nonmetropolitan areas consist of the total territory outside MSA's.
The urban population, as defined for the 1980 census,
comprises all persons living in urbanized areas and in
places of 2,500 or more inhabitants outside urban areas.
More specifically, the urban population consists of all persons living in (1) places of 2,500 or more inhabitants incorporated as cities, villages, boroughs (except in Alaska and
New York), and towns (except in the New England States,
New York, and Wisconsin), but excluding those persons
living in the rural portions of extended cities; (2) other
territories, incorporated and unincorporated, included in
urbanized areas. The population not classified as urban
makes up the rural population.

HISTORICAL COMPARABILITY
Change in lower age limit
The lower age limit for official statistics on the labor
force, employment, and unemployment was raised from
14 to 16 years of age in January 1967. Insofar as possible,
historical series were revised to provide consistent information based on the population 16 years and over. For a
detailed discussion of this and other definitional changes
introduced at that time, including estimates of their effect
on the various series, see "New Definitions for Employment and Unemployment," Employment and Earnings
and Monthly Report on the Labor Force, February 1967.
Noncomparability of labor force levels
In addition to the changes introduced in 1967, there are
several other periods of noncomparability in the labor
force data:
• Beginning in 1953, as a result of introducing data from
the 1950 census into the estimating procedures, population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total
employment, and agricultural employment were increased
by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for totals
and men; other categories were relatively unaffected.
• Starting in 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii
resulted in an increase of about 500,000 in the population
and about 300,000 in the labor force. Four-fifths of this increase was in nonagricultural employment; other labor
force categories were not appreciably affected.
• Beginning in 1962, the introduction of data from the
1960 census reduced the population by about 50,000 and
labor force and employment by about 200,000; unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.
• Commencing in 1972, information from the 1970 census was introduced into the estimation procedures, increasing the population by about 800,000; labor force and
employment totals were raised by a little more than
300,000; and unemployment levels and rates were essentially unchanged.
• A subsequent population adjustment based on the 1970
census was introduced in March 1973. This adjustment,
which affected the white and black-and-other groups but
had little effect on totals, resulted in the reduction of nearly 300,000 in the white population and an increase of the
same magnitude in the black-and-other population. Civilian labor force and total employment figures were affected
to a lesser degree; the white labor force was reduced by
150,000, and the black-and-other labor force rose by about
210,000. Unemployment levels and rates were not significantly affected.
• Beginning in January 1974, the methodology used to
prepare independent estimates of the civilian noninstitu-
tional population was modified to an inflation-deflation
approach. This change in the derivation of the estimates
had its greatest impact on estimates of 20-to 24-year-old
men—particularly those of the black-and-other population—but had little effect on estimates of the total population 16 years and over. Additional information on the adjustment procedure appears in "CPS Population Controls
Derived from Inflation-Deflation Method of Estimation,"
in the February 1974 issue of Employment and Earnings.
• Effective in July 1975, as a result of the immigration of
Vietnamese refugees into the United States, the total and
black-and-other independent population controls for persons 16 years and over were adjusted upward by
76,000—30,000 men and 46,000 women. The addition of
the refugees increased the black-and-other population by
less than 1 percent in any age-sex group, and all of the
changes were in the other population.
• Starting in January 1978, the introduction of an expansion in the sample and revisions in the estimation procedures resulted in an increase of about 250,000 in the civilian labor force and employment totals; unemployment levels and rates were essentially unchanged. An explanation
of the procedural changes and an indication of the differences appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey in January 1978" in the February 1978 issue of Employment and Earnings.
• Beginning in October 1978, the race of the individual
was determined by the household respondent for the incoming rotation group households, rather than by the interviewer as before. The purpose of this change was to provide more accurate estimates of characteristics by race.
Thus, in October 1978, one-eighth of the sample households had race determined by the household respondent
and seven-eighths of the sample households had race determined by interviewer observation. It was not until January 1980 that the entire sample had race determined by
the household respondent. The new procedure had no significant effect on the estimates.
• Commencing in January 1979, the first-stage ratio estimation method was changed in the CPS estimation procedure. Differences between the old and new procedures existed only for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area estimates, not for the total United States. The reasoning behind the change and an indication of the differences appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey in
January 1979" in the February 1979 issue of Employment
and Earnings.
• Beginning in January 1982, the second-stage ratio adjustment methodology was changed in the CPS estimation
procedure. The purpose of the change and an indication of
its effect on national estimates of labor force characteris-
tics appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1982" in the February 1982 issue
of Employment and Earnings. In addition, current population estimates used in the second-stage estimation procedure are derived from information obtained from the 1980
census, rather than the 1970 census. This change caused
substantial increases in total population and estimates of
persons in all labor force categories. Rates for labor force
characteristics, however, remained virtually unchanged.
Some 30,000 labor force series were adjusted back to 1970
to avoid major breaks in series. The February 1982 article
cited above also describes the adjustment procedure used.
The revisions did not, however, smooth out the breaks in
series occurring between 1972 and 1979 that are described
above, and data users should make allowances for them in
making certain data comparisons.
• Starting in January 1983, the first-stage ratio adjustment methodology was updated to account for results obtained from the 1980 census. The purpose of the change
and an indication of its effect on national estimates of labor
force characteristics appear in "Revisions in the Current
Population Survey Beginning in January 1983" in the
February 1983 issue of Employment and Earnings. There
were only slight differences between the old and new procedures in estimates of levels for the various labor force
characteristics and virtually no differences in estimates of
participation rates.
• Beginning in January 1985, most of the steps of the
CPS estimation procedure—the noninterview adjustment,
the first- and second-stage ratio adjustments, and the composite estimator—were revised. These procedures are described in the Estimating Methods section. A description
of the changes and an indication of their effect on national
estimates of labor force characteristics appear in "Changes
in the Estimation Procedure in the Current Population
Survey Beginning in January 1985" in the February 1985
issue of this publication. Overall, the revisions had only a
slight effect on most estimates. The greatest impact was on
estimates of persons of Hispanic origin. Major estimates
were revised back to January 1980.
• Starting in January 1986, the population controls used
in the second-stage ratio adjustment methodology were revised to reflect an explicit estimate of the number of undocumented immigrants (largely Hispanic) since 1980 and
an improved estimate of the number of emigrants among
legal foreign-born residents for the same time period. As a
result, the total civilian population and labor force estimates were raised by nearly 400,000; civilian employment
was increased by about 350,000. The Hispanic-origin population and labor force estimates were raised by about
425,000 and 305,000, respectively, and employment by
270,000. Overall and subgroup unemployment levels and
rates were not significantly affected. Because of the mag137
nitude of the adjustments for Hispanics, data were revised
back to January 1980 to the extent possible. An explanation of the changes and their effect on estimates of labor
force characteristics appear in "Changes in the Estimation
Procedure in the Current Population Survey Beginning in
January 1986" in the February 1986 issue of this publication.
• Beginning in August 1989, the second-stage ratio
estimate cells were changed slightly to decrease the chance
of very small cells occurring and to be more consistent
with published age, sex, and race cells. This change had
virtually no effect on national estimates.
Changes in the occupational and industrial classification system
Beginning in 1971, the comparability of occupational
employment data was affected as a result of changes in the
occupational classification system for the 1970 census that
were introduced into the CPS. Comparability was further
affected in December 1971, when a question relating to
major activity or duties was added to the monthly CPS
questionnaire in order to determine more precisely the
occupational classification of individuals. As a result of
these changes, meaningful comparisons of occupational
employment levels could not be made between 1971-72
and prior years nor between those 2 years. Unemployment
rates were not significantly affected. For a further explanation of the changes in the occupational classification
system, see "Revisions in Occupational Classifications for
1971" and "Revisions in the Current Population Survey"
in the February 1971 and February 1972 issues, respectively, of Employment and Earnings.
Starting in January 1983, the occupational and industrial classification systems used in the 1980 census were introduced into the CPS. The 1980 census occupational
classification system evolved from the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC), and this new system differed
so radically in concepts and nomenclature from the 1970
system that comparisons of historical data are not possible
without major adjustments. For example, the 1980 major
group "sales occupations" is substantially larger than the
1970 category "sales workers." Major additions include
"cashiers" taken from the "clerical workers" group and
some self-employed proprietors in retail trade establishments from "managers and administrators, except farm."
The industrial classification system used in the 1980
census was based on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system, as modified in 1977. The adoption of
the new system had much less of an adverse effect on historical comparability than did the new occupational system. The most notable changes from the 1970 system were
the transfer of farm equipment stores from "retail" to
"wholesale" trade, postal service from "public administration" to "transportation," and some interchange between
"professional and related services" and "public adminis138
tration." Additional information on the 1980 census occupational and industrial classification systems appears in
"Revisions in the Current Population Survey Beginning in
January 1983" in the February 1983 issue of Employment
and Earnings.
Beginning in January 1992, the occupational and industrial classification systems used in the 1990 census were introduced into the CPS. There were a few breaks in comparability between the 1980 and 1990 census-based systems,
particularly within the "technical, sales, and administrative support" categories. The industrial classification
system used in the 1990 census is based on the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification system. The most notable
changes from the 1980 system were the shift of several industries from "business services" to "professional services" and the splitting of some industries into smaller,
more detailed categories. A number of industry titles were
changed as well, with no change in content.
Sampling
Since the inception of the survey, there have been various changes in the design of the CPS sample. The sample is
traditionally redesigned and a new sample selected after
each decennial census. The number of sample areas and
the number of sample persons are also increased occasionally. Most of these changes are made in order to improve
the efficiency of the sample design and/or to increase the
reliability of the sample estimates. When Alaska and
Hawaii received statehood, three sample areas were added
to the existing sample to account for the population of
these States. In January 1978, a supplemental sample of
9,000 housing units, selected in 24 States and the District
of Columbia, was designed to provide more reliable annual
average estimates for States. In October 1978, a coverage
improvement sample of approximately 450 sample household units representing 237,000 occupied mobile homes
and 600,000 new construction housing units was added.
In January 1980, another supplemental sample of 9,000
households selected in 32 States and the District of
Columbia was added. A sample reduction of about 6,000
units was implemented in May 1981. In January 1982, the
sample was expanded by 100 households to provide additional coverage in counties added to SMSA's, which were
redefined in 1973. In January 1985, a new State-based CPS
sample was selected based on 1980 census information. A
sample reduction of about 4,000 households was implemented in April 1988; they were reinstated during the
8-month period, April-November 1989.
The 1980 census-based sample design includes about
72,000 housing units per month located in 729 selected
geographic areas called primary sampling units (PSU's).
The sample was initially selected so that specific reliability
criteria were met nationally, for each of the 50 States, for
the District of Columbia, and for the sub-State areas of
New York City and the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area. Since 1985, these reliability criteria have been
maintained through periodic additions and deletions in
the State samples. The criteria, given below, are based on
the coefficient of variation (CV) of the unemployment
rate, where the CV is defined as the standard error of the
estimate divided by the estimate, expressed as a percentage. These CV controls assume a 6-percent unemployment
rate in the denominator of this formula to establish a consistent specification of sampling error.
Nationally, a 1.8-percent CV is maintained on the
monthly unemployment rate estimate. This means that a
change of 0.2 percentage point in the unemployment rate
is significant at a 90-percent confidence level.
In 11 States—California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas—the most populous States
at the time of the 1980 decennial census, an 8-percent CV
is maintained on the monthly unemployment rate
estimate. In the other 39 States and the District of
Columbia, an 8-percent CV is maintained on the annual
unemployment rate estimate. In New York City and the
Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area, a 9-percent
CV is maintained on the monthly unemployment rate.
In the first stage of sampling, the 729 sample areas are
chosen. In the second stage, ultimate sampling unit
clusters composed of about four housing units each are
selected. Each month, about 72,000 housing units are
assigned for data collection, of which about 60,000 are
occupied and thus eligible for interview. The remainder are
units found to be destroyed, vacant, converted to nonresidential use, containing persons whose usual place of residence is elsewhere, or ineligible for other reasons. Of the
60,000 housing units, 4 to 5 percent are not interviewed in a
given month due to temporary absence (vacation, etc.),
other failures to make contact after repeated attempts, inability of persons contacted to respond, unavailability for
other reasons, and refusals to cooperate (about half of the
noninterviews). Information is obtained each month for
about 113,000 persons 16 years of age and older.
Selection of sample areas. The entire area of the United
States, consisting of 3,137 counties and independent cities,
is divided into 1,973 primary sampling units (PSU's). In
most States, a PSU consists of a county or a number of contiguous counties. In New England and Hawaii, minor civil
divisions are used instead of counties.
Metropolitan areas within a State are used as a basis for
forming PSU's. Outside of metropolitan areas, counties
normally are combined, except where the geographic area
of the sample county is very large. Combining counties to
form PSU's provides greater heterogeneity; a typical PSU
includes urban and rural residents of both high and low
economic levels and encompasses, to the extent feasible,
diverse occupations and industries. Another important
consideration is to make the PSU sufficiently compact so
that, with a small sample spread throughout, it can be
efficiently canvassed without undue travel cost.
The 1,973 PSU's are grouped into strata within each
State. Then one PSU is selected from each stratum with
the probability of selection proportional to the population
of the PSU. There are 314 PSU's in strata by themselves
that are self-representing, and generally these are the most
populated PSU's in each State. The remaining strata are
formed by combining PSU's that are similar in such characteristics as population growth; proportions of blacks
and of Hispanics (in certain States); and population distribution by occupation, industry, age, and sex. The PSU's,
randomly selected from these strata are non-self-representing because each one chosen represents the entire
stratum. The probability of selecting a particular PSU in a
non-self-representing stratum is proportional to its 1980
population. For example, within a stratum, the chance
that a PSU with a population of 50,000 would be selected
for the sample is twice that for a PSU having a population
of 25,000.
Selection of sample households. Because the sample design
is essentially State based, the sampling ratio differs by
State and depends on the reliability requirements for
estimates for each State. The State sampling ratios range
roughly from 1 in every 200 households to 1 in every 2,500
households in each stratum of the State. The sampling
ratio occasionally is modified slightly to hold the size of
the sample relatively constant given the overall growth of
the population. The sampling ratio used within a sample
PSU depends on the probability of selection of the PSU
and the sampling ratio for the State. In a sample PSU with
a probability of selection of 1 in 10 with a State sampling
ratio of 1 in 2,500, the within-PSU sampling ratio that
results is 1 in 250, thereby achieving the desired ratio of 1
in 2,500 for the stratum.
Within each designated PSU, several steps are involved
in selecting the housing units to be enumerated. First, the
1980 census enumeration districts (ED's), which are
administrative units and contain on the average about 300
housing units, are ordered so that the sample would reflect
the demographic and residential characteristics of the
PSU. Within each ED, the housing units are sorted
geographically and are grouped into clusters of approximately four housing units. Next, a systematic sample of
these clusters of housing units is selected.
The identification of the sample housing units within an
ED is made wherever possible from the list of ED
addresses compiled during the 1980 census. The address
lists are used in about three-fourths of the ED's, primarily
in urban areas. Area sampling is applied in the remaining
ED's, mostly in rural areas. In ED's where address lists are
used, automated methods are used to form clusters of geographically contiguous housing units. An effort is made to
have all small, multi-unit addresses (two to four housing
units) included in the same cluster. The methods use the
within-PSU sampling ratio to identify appropriate clusters
for the sample. Supplemental samples are also prepared to
139
account for addresses in isolated geographic areas and to
account for housing units not found on the address lists,
including housing units newly constructed in the PSU
since the census date. The addresses of these units are obtained mainly from records of building permits.
In those enumeration districts where area sampling
methods are used, mainly rural areas, the ED's are subdivided into small land "chunks" with well-defined boundaries and having, in general, an expected "size" of about 8
to 12 housing units or other living quarters. For each subdivided ED, one chunk (or more) is designated for the
sample. When a selected chunk contains about four households, for example, all units are included in the sample.
When the size of the chunk is several times four units, an
interviewer does not conduct interviews at all housing
units in the chunk but uses a systematic sampling pattern
to obtain approximately four households. The remaining
housing units in the chunk are then available for further
samples. Area ED's also make use of building permit lists
to identify newly constructed housing units.
Rotation of sample. Part of the sample is changed each
month. For each sample, eight representative subsamples
or rotation groups are identified. A given rotation group is
interviewed for a total of 8 months, divided into two equal
periods. It is in the sample for 4 consecutive months, leaves
the sample during the following 8 months, and then returns for another 4 consecutive months. In any 1 month,
one-eighth of the rotation groups are in their first month of
enumeration, another eighth is in their second month, and
so on. Under this system, 75 percent of the sample
segments are common from month to month and 50 percent from year to year. This procedure, which was introduced in 1953, provides a substantial amount of month-tomonth and year-to-year overlap in the sample, thus reducing discontinuities in the series of data without burdening
any specific group of households with an unduly long
period of inquiry.
Table 1-A provides a description of some aspects of the
CPS sample design in use since 1947. A more detailed account of the history of the CPS sample design appears in
The Current Population Survey: Design and Methodology,
Technical Paper No. 40, Bureau of the Census, or Concepts and Methods Used in Labor Force Statistics Derived
from the Current Population Survey, Report 463, Bureau
of Labor Statistics. A description of the 1980 census-based
sample appears in "Redesign of the Sample for the Current
Population Survey," in the May 1984 issue of Employment
and Earnings.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Under the estimating methods used in the CPS, all of the
results for a given month become available simultaneously
140
and are based on returns from the entire panel of
respondents. The estimation procedure involves weighting
the data from each sample person by the inverse of the
probability of the person being in the sample. This gives a
rough measure of the number of actual persons that the
sample person represents. Since 1985, almost all sample
persons within the same State have the same probability of
selection (with the exception of New York and California,
where the cities of New York and Los Angeles are sampled
at a higher probability). These selection probabilities are
then adjusted for noninterviews; ratio adjustments are
made to known population controls; and composite
the estimation procedure is applied.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for occupied sample households for which no information was obtained because of absence, impassable
roads, refusals, or unavailability of the respondents for
other reasons. This noninterview adjustment is made separately for clusters of similar sample areas that are usually,
but not necessarily, contained within a State. Similarity of
sample areas is based on Metropolitan Statistical Area
(MSA) status and size. Within each cluster, there is a
further breakdown by residence. Each MSA cluster is split
by "central city" and "balance of the MSA." Each nonMSA cluster is split by "urban" and "rural" residence
categories. The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 4 to 5 percent, depending on weather,
vacation, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance,
from that of the population as a whole in such characteristics as age, race, sex, and residence. Because these characteristics are closely correlated with labor force participation and other principal measurements made from the
sample, the survey 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. In the CPS, a portion of the
729 sample areas is chosen to represent other areas not in
the sample; the remainder of the sample areas represent
only themselves. The first-stage ratio estimation procedure reduces the portion of the variance that results from
requiring sample PSU's in a State to represent nonsampled
PSU's in the same State and is not applied to self-representing PSU's. The adjustment is made at the State level
for each of the 43 States which contains nonsample areas
by race cells of black and nonblack. The procedure
corrects for differences that existed in each cell at the time
of the 1980 census between the race distribution of the
population in sample PSU's and the known race distribution of the State.

period, April-November 1989.

Three sample areas were added in 1960 to represent Alaska and Hawaii
after statehood.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this stage, the sample
proportions of persons in specific categories are adjusted
to the distribution of independent current estimates of the
civilian noninstitutional population in the same
categories. The second-stage ratio adjustment, which
further reduces variability of the estimates and corrects to
some extent for CPS undercoverage relative to the
decennial census, is carried out in three steps.
In the first step, the sample estimates are adjusted within each State and the District of Columbia to independent
controls for the population 16 years and over. These controls are an arithmetic extrapolation of the trend in the
growth of this population segment using the two most
recent July 1 estimates, adjusted as a last step to a current
estimate of the U.S. population of this group. State
estimates by age for July 1 are published annually in Current Population Reports, Series P-25. For a description of
the methodology used in developing the State total, see
Report 957 of that series. A description of the age
estimates methodology is available in Report 1010 of that
series.
The second step involves an adjustment by Hispanic
origin to a national estimate for 14 Hispanic and 5 nonHispanic age-sex categories. These Hispanic controls are
prepared by carrying forward the 1980 census count for
Hispanics by adding estimated Hispanic births and immigrants and subtracting estimated Hispanic deaths and
emigrants to yield an estimate of the Hispanic population
by age and sex. Prior to January 1985, there was no
separate control for Hispanics in the second-stage ratio
procedure.
In the third step, a national adjustment is made by the
race categories of white, black, and other races to indepen
dent estimates by age and sex. The white and black
categories contain 66 and 42 age-sex groups respectively;
the other races category has 10 age-sex cells. The entire second-stage adjustment procedure is iterated six times,
each time beginning at the weights developed the previous
time. This ensures that the sample estimates of the population for both State and national age-sex-race-origin
categories will be virtually equal to the independent population control totals.
The "inflation-deflation" method is used in the preparation of the independent national controls used for the agesex-race groups in the third step of the second-stage ratio
estimation procedure. It had been discontinued during the
period from January 1982 to December 1984. In January
1985, this method was reintroduced into the CPS estimation procedure. With "the inflation-deflation" method, the
independent controls are prepared by inflating the 1980
census counts to include estimated undercounts by age,
sex, and race, thus aging this population forward to each
subsequent month and later age by adding births and net
migration, and subtracting deaths. These postcensal population estimates are then deflated to reflect the pattern of
net undercount in the most recent census by age, sex, and
race. Because an estimate of undercount is first added and
then subtracted, the size of each race-sex group is unaffected by the "inflation-deflation" method. Similarly,
the final estimate is affected only by the age structure of
the undercount, but not the level. This feature of the
method is important because the exact amount of undercount in the 1980 census remains unknown.
Data on births and deaths between April 1, 1980, and
the estimate date are based on tabulations of vital statistics
for the resident population made by the National Center
141
for Health Statistics and data on deaths of military
personnel overseas from the Department of Defense.
Estimates of net civilian immigration are based on data
provided by the Immigration and Naturalization Service,
the Department of Defense, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Puerto Rico Planning Board. The civilian noninstitutional population is derived by subtracting
the Armed Forces and the institutional population for the
estimate date from the total including Armed Forces overseas. The institutional population is computed by applying
institutional proportions derived from the 1980 census to
the total population, including Armed Forces overseas for
the estimate date. All computations described above are
performed in cells defined by single year of age, race, and
sex. The independent national control totals are then obtained by collapsing these cells into broader age groups for
the population 16 years and older.
Beginning in January 1986, two changes were introduced into the estimation of the independent population
controls. For the first time, an explicit allowance for net
undocumented immigration since April 1, 1980 (the
census date) was added to the estimated level of legal immigration. In addition, an increase in the estimate of emigration of legal, foreign-born residents has been incorporated into the postcensal population estimates since 1980.
The nature and effect of these changes are discussed in detail in "Changes in the Estimation Procedure in the
Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1986" in
the February 1986 issue of Employment and Earnings.
3. Composite estimate procedure. The last step in the preparation of most CPS estimates makes use of a composite
estimation procedure. The composite estimate consists of
a weighted average of two factors: The two-stage ratio
estimate based on the entire sample from the current
month and the composite estimate for the previous month
plus an estimate of the month-to-month change based on
the six rotation groups common to both months. In addition, a bias adjustment term is added to the weighted
average to account for relative bias associated with monthin-sample estimates. This month-in-sample bias is exhibited by unemployment estimates for persons in their first
and fifth months in the CPS. The unemployment estimates
for these persons are generally higher than estimates obtained for the other months.
The composite estimate results in a reduction in the
sampling error beyond that which is achieved after the two
stages of ratio adjustment. For some items, the reduction is
substantial. The resultant gains in reliability are greatest in
estimates of month-to-month change, although gains are
also usually obtained for estimates of level in a given
month, change from year to year, and change over other
intervals.
Rounding of estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal the
totals shown in the same tables because of independent
142
rounding of totals and components to the nearest
thousand. Similarly, sums of percent distributions may
not always equal 100 percent because of rounding. Differences, however, are insignificant.
Reliability of the estimates
There are two types of errors possible in an estimate
based on a sample survey—sampling and nonsampling.
The standard errors provided primarily indicate the
magnitude of the sampling error. They also partially measure the effect of some nonsampling errors in response and
enumeration but do not measure any systematic biases in
the data.
Nonsampling error. The full extent of nonsampling error is
unknown, but special studies have been conducted to
quantify some sources of nonsampling error in the CPS, as
discussed below. The effect of nonsampling error should
be small on estimates of relative change, such as month-tomonth change. Nonsampling error would more severely
affect estimates of monthly levels.
Nonsampling errors in surveys can be attributed to
many sources, e.g., inability to obtain information about
all cases in the sample, definitional difficulties, differences
in the interpretation of questions, inability or unwillingness of respondents to provide correct information,
inability to recall information, errors made in collection
such as those in recording or coding the data, errors made
in processing the data, errors made in estimating values for
missing data, and failure to represent all sample households and all persons within sample households (undercoverage).
Nonsampling errors occurring in the interview phase of
the survey are studied by means of a reinterview program.
This program is used to estimate various sources of error
as well as to evaluate and control the work of the interviewers. A random sample of each interviewer's work is
inspected through reinterview at regular intervals. The results indicate, among other things, that the data published
from the CPS are subject to moderate systematic biases. A
description of the CPS reinterview program and some of
the other results may be found in the Current Population
Survey Reinterview Program, January 1961 through
December 1966, Technical Paper No. 19, Bureau of the
Census, U.S. Department of Commerce.
The effects of some components of nonsampling error in
the CPS data can be examined as a result of the rotation
plan used for the sample, because the level of the estimates
varies by rotation group. A description of these effects
appears in "The Effects of Rotation Group Bias on Estimates From Panel Surveys," by Barbara A. Bailar,
Journal of the American Statistical Association, Volume
70, No. 349, March 1975.
Undercoverage in the CPS results from missed housing
units and missed persons within sample households. Compared to the level of the decennial census, undercoverage is
about 6 percent. It is known that the CPS undercoverage
varies with age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. Generally,
undercoverage is larger for men than for women, and
larger for blacks, Hispanics, and other races combined
than for whites. Ratio estimation to independent age-sexrace-origin population controls, as described previously,
partially corrects for the biases due to survey undercoverage. However, biases exist in the estimates to the extent
that missed persons in missed households or missed persons in interviewed households have different characteristics than interviewed persons in the same age-sexrace-origin group. Further, the independent population
controls used have not been adjusted for undercoverage in
the 1980 census.
Additional information on nonsampling error in the
CPS appears in "An Error Profile: Employment as Measured by the Current Population Survey," by Camilla
Brooks and Barbara Bailar, Statistical Policy Working
Paper 3, U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Federal
Statistical Policy and Standards; in "The Current
Population Survey: An Overview," by Marvin Thompson
and Gary Shapiro, Annals of Economic and Social Measurement, Vol. 2, April 1973; and in The Current Population Survey, Design and Methodology, Technical Paper No.
40, Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce.
This last document includes a comprehensive discussion
of various sources of errors and describes attempts to
measure them in the CPS.
Sampling error. When a sample rather than the entire population is surveyed, estimates differ from the true
population values that they represent. This difference, or
sampling error, occurs by chance, and its variability is
measured by the standard error of the estimate. Sample
estimates from a given survey design are unbiased when an
average of the estimates from all possible samples would
yield, hypothetically, the true population value. In this
case, the sample estimate and its standard error can be
used to construct approximate confidence intervals, or
ranges of values, that include the true population value
with known probabilities. If the process of selecting a
sample from the population were repeated many times and
an estimate and its standard error calculated for each
sample, then:
1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals from one
standard error below the estimate to one standard error
above the estimate would include the true population
value.
2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.6
standard errors below the estimate to 1.6 standard errors
above the estimate would include the true population
value.
3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from two
standard errors below the estimate to two standard errors
above the estimate would include the true population
value.
Although the estimating methods used in the CPS do
not produce unbiased estimates, biases for most estimates
are believed to be small enough so that these confidence
interval statements are approximately true.
Because it would be too costly to develop standard
errors for all CPS estimates, generalized variance function
techniques are used to calculate sets of standard errors for
various types of labor force characteristics. It is important
to keep in mind that standard errors computed from these
methods reflect sampling errors and some kinds of nonsampling errors and indicate the general magnitude of an
estimate's standard error rather than its precise value.
The generalized variance functions and standard errors
provided here are based on the sample design and estimation procedures as of 1987 and have been adjusted to reflect the population levels and sample size as of 1991. For
years prior to 1967, the standard errors obtained must be
further adjusted to reflect the CPS sample size in effect at
that time. For years prior to 1956, standard errors should
be multiplied by 1.5; for the years 1956 through 1966,
standard errors should be multiplied by 1.22.
Tables 1-B through 1-H are provided so that approximate standard errors of estimates can be easily obtained.
Details illustrating the proper use of each table follow.
Tables 1-B and 1-C show standard errors for estimated
monthly levels and rates for selected employment status
characteristics; these tables also provide standard errors
for consecutive month-to-month changes in the estimates.
These standard errors are based on levels of recent estimates and can be determined directly by finding the characteristic of interest.
Tables 1-D and 1-E show standard errors for monthly
levels and consecutive monthly changes in levels for
general employment status characteristics. The standard
errors are calculated using linear interpolation based on
the size of the monthly estimates.
Tables 1-F and 1-G give parameters that can be used
with formulas to calculate a standard error on nearly any
specified level, unemployment rate, percentage, or consecutive month-to-month change. For monthly levels and
consecutive month-to-month changes in levels, tables 1-F
and 1-G are preferred to tables 1-D and 1-E, because the
formulas provide more accurate results than linear interpolation.
Table 1-H presents factors used to convert standard errors of monthly levels and rates determined from tables
1-B, 1-C, 1-D, and 1-F to standard errors pertaining to
quarterly and yearly averages, consecutive year-to-year
changes of monthly estimates, and changes in quarterly
and yearly averages.

The standard errors for estimated changes from 1
month to the next, 1 year to the next, etc., depend more on
the monthly levels for characteristics than on the size of
the changes. Accordingly, tables 1-E, 1-G, and 1-H use
monthly levels (not the magnitude of the changes) for
approximating standard errors of change. Standard errors
for estimated change between nonconsecutive months are
not provided (except for year-to-year change); however,
these may be assumed to be higher than the standard
errors for consecutive monthly change.
Use of tables 1-B and 1-C. These tables provide a quick
reference for standard errors of major characteristics.
Table 1-B gives approximate standard errors for estimates
of monthly levels and consecutive month-to-month
changes in levels for major employment status categories.
Table 1-C gives approximate standard errors for estimates
144
of monthly unemployment rates and consecutive monthto-month changes in unemployment rates for some demographic, industrial, and occupational categories. For characteristics not given in tables 1-B and 1-C, refer to either
tables 1-D and 1-E or tables 1-F and 1-G.
Illustration. Suppose that for a given month the number of
women 20 years and over in the civilian labor force is estimated to be 54,000,000. For this characteristic, the approximate standard error of 196,000 is given in table 1-B in
the row, "total, women 20 years and over: civilian labor
force." A 90-percent confidence interval as shown by these
data, would then be the interval from 53,686,000 to
54,314,000. Concluding that the true labor force level lies
within this interval would be correct for roughly 90 percent of all possible samples.
Use of tables 1-Dand 1-E. From these tables, approximate
standard errors can be calculated for estimates of monthly
levels and month-to-month changes in levels for major
labor force characteristics by race and Hispanic origin.
For major categories not shown, such as male or female,
tables 1-F and 1-G can be used. Standard errors for intermediate values not shown in the tables may be
approximated by linear interpolation. For table 1-E,
which applies to estimates of consecutive month-to-month
change, the average of the two monthly levels (not the
change) is used to select the appropriate row in the table.
Illustration. Assume that between 2 consecutive months
the estimated number of employed persons changed from
115,600,000 to 116,700,000, an apparent increase of
1,100,000. The approximate standard error on this monthto-month change estimate is based on the average level of
the estimate for the 2 months, 116,150,000. Using the table
1-E column titled "labor force data other than unemployment and agricultural employment, total," it is necessary
to find the standard errors corresponding to the two
monthly level entries between which the value 116,150,000
lies. The standard error corresponding to 100,000,000 is
given as 240,000, and the standard error corresponding to
120,000,000 is given as 206,000. Use linear interpolation to
find the approximate standard error on month-to-month
change corresponding to the level 116,150,000; one
method of calculation is given below.

I (240,000-206,000) = 213,000
i2o,ooo,ooo-ioo,ooo,oooy
Thus, a 90-percent confidence interval for the true monthto-month change would be approximately the interval
from 759,000 to 1,441,000.
Use of tables 1-F and 1-G. These tables can be used to find
approximate standard errors for a wide range of estimated
monthly levels, proportions, rates, and estimates of consecutive monthly change. Instead of displaying standard

errors, these tables provide parameters to be used with the
formulas given below that allow the user to calculate standard errors.
Table 1-G, which applies to estimates of consecutive
monthly change, lists parameters for some characteristics
classified by a measure of correlation between monthly estimates. Estimates of the number of persons employed full
time, for example, change relatively little from 1 month to
the next, and the two monthly estimates are said to be
highly correlated. Consecutive monthly estimates of parttime employment, by contrast, have low correlation, because these estimates are relatively volatile.
Major characteristics for which consecutive monthly
estimates are known to have high or low correlation are
indicated in table 1-G. Not all categories in table 1-G,
however, are broken down into low or high correlation
characteristics. When high or low correlation is not specified in table 1-G, the parameters in this table should be selected from the rows labeled "most characteristics" or
from rows not specifying correlation.
Standard errors of estimated levels. The approximate
standard error, s x , of an estimated monthly level, x, can
be obtained using the formula below, where a and b are the
parameters from table 1-F associated with the particular
characteristic. The same formula can be used to approximate the standard error of an estimated month-to-month
change in level; simply average the levels for the 2 consecutive months and use the parameters from table 1-G.
sx = A / a x 2 + bx
Illustration. Assume that in a given month there are an
estimated 6 million unemployed men in the civilian labor
force (x = 6,000,000). Obtain the appropriate a and b
parameters from table 1-F ("unemployment, total or
white"). Use the formula to compute an approximate
standard error on the estimate of 6,000,000.
a = -0.000015749
b = 2464.91
Sx = V/(-0.000015749) (6,000,000)2 + (2464.91) (6,000,000) = 119,000
Suppose that in the next month the estimated number of
unemployed men increases by 200,000 to 6,200,000. The
average of the monthly levels is x = 6,100,000. Obtain the
appropriate a and b parameters from table 1-G ("unemployment, total or white, total, men, women"). Use the formula to compute an approximate standard error on the estimated change of 200,000.
S x = V(-O.OOOO82123) (6,100,000) 2 + (3494.11) (6,100,000) =135,000
An approximate 90-percent confidence interval for the
true month-to-month change would be the interval from
-16,000 to 416,000. Because this interval covers zero, one
cannot assert at this level of confidence that any real
change has occurred in the unemployment level. This result can also be expressed by saying that the apparent

relevant to the numerator. The approximate standard

estimated number of persons in the base.

Suppose that in the next month 5,700,000 women in this
same age group are reported employed and that 1,950,000
or 34 percent are part-time workers. To estimate the standard error on the observed month-to-month change of 2
percentage points, first average the values for p and y over
the 2 months to get p = 33 percent and y = 5,650,000.
Next, obtain the parameter b = 2245.76 from table 1-G

women, low correlation characteristics") and apply the
formula as follows.
- 2 2 4 5 ^ 6 - (33) (100 - 33) = 0.9 percent
5,650,000
It should be noted that the numerator of the percentage
(part-time employed) determined the choice of correlation. If the example had illustrated percentages of women
employed full time, the numerator would have been a high
correlation characteristic. Table 1-G, however, does not
explicitly list high correlation parameters for employed
women; thus, the row labeled "women, most characteristics" would have been used.
Had the example dealt with teenage women employed
part time, either of two rows in table 1-G could have been
applied ("women, low correlation" or "both sexes, 16 to 19
years"). In situations like this, where it is not clear which
row applies, a general rule to follow is to choose the row
with the largest b parameter. This gives a more conservative estimate of standard error.
Use of table 1-H. Use this table with table 1-B, 1-C, 1-D,
or 1-F to calculate approximate standard errors for quarterly or yearly averages, changes in consecutive quarterly
or yearly averages, and consecutive year-to-year changes

in monthly estimates. Table 1-H gives factors to be applied
only to standard errors for monthly levels. Follow these
three basic steps:
Step 1. Average estimates appropriately. For quarterly
estimates, average the 3 monthly estimates. For yearly estimates, average the 12 monthly estimates. For changes in
consecutive averages, average over the 2 quarters or 2
years. For consecutive year-to-year changes in monthly
estimates, average the 2 months involved.
s x = V/(-OOOO1131O3)(ll,6OO,OOO)2 + (2613.14)(l 1,600,000)= 123,000
Step 3. Multiply this result by the factor .87 from table
1-H (column labeled "quarterly averages" and row labeled
"labor force and not-in-labor-force data other than agricultural employment and unemployment, black"). This
gives an approximate standard error of 107,000 on the
quarterly average of 11,600,000.
Step 2. Obtain a standard error on a monthly estimate
using table 1-B or 1-C, or apply the procedures for table
1-D or 1-F to the average calculated in step 1, as if the
average were an estimate for a single month.
Proceed to obtain the approximate standard error on
the change in consecutive quarterly average estimates of
black employment. Assume that black employment estimates for the months in the second quarter are observed to
be 11,100,000, 11,200,000, and 11,300,000.
Step 3. Determine the standard error on the average or
on the estimate of change. Multiply the result from step 2
by the appropriate factor from table 1-H.
Step 1. The average for the second quarter is 11,200,000.
The average of the 2 quarters is 11,400,000.
Illustration. Suppose that standard errors are desired for a
quarterly average of black employment levels and for the
change in averages from 1 quarter to the next. For each
successive month of the first quarter, suppose the levels are
observed to be 11,500,000, 11,600,000, and 11,700,000.
Step 1. The quarterly average is 11,600,000.
Step 2. Obtain the a and b parameters from table 1-F
("labor force and not-in-labor-force data other than agricultural employment and unemployment, black, total")Use the formula for sx to compute an approximate standard error for a monthly estimate of 11,600,000.
a = -O.OOO1131O3
Step 2. Obtain the a and b parameters as above and use
the formula for sx to compute an approximate standard
error for the estimate of 11,400,000, treating it as an estimate for a single month.
Step 3. Multiply this result by the factor .84 from table
1-H (column labeled "change in quarterly averages" and
row labeled "labor force and not-in-labor-force data other
than agricultural employment and unemployment,
black"). This gives an approximate standard error of
103,000 on the estimated change of 400,000 from 1 quarter
to the next.
The estimated change clearly exceeds 2 standard errors;
therefore, one could conclude from these data that the
change in quarterly averages is significant.

Establishment Data
(Tables B-1 through C-8)
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, and earnings in nonfarm
establishments, by industry and geographic location. Historical statistics are published in Employment, Hours, and
Earnings, United States and Employment, Hours, and
Earnings, States and Areas.
Federal-State cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements, responding establishments report employment, hours, and earnings data to
State agencies. State agencies mail the forms to the establishments and examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use the reported data
to prepare State and area series and also send the reported
data to BLS (Washington office) for use in preparing the
national series. This avoids a duplicate reporting burden
on establishments and, together with the use of similar
estimating techniques at the national and State levels,
promotes increased comparability between estimates.
Shuttle schedules
Form BLS 790—Report on Employment, Payroll, and
Hours is the name of the data collection schedule. The
collection agency returns the schedule to respondents each
month so that they can enter the next month's data on the
space allotted for that month. This "shuttle" procedure assures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting,
because the respondents can see the figures that they have
reported for previous months.
Data on the total number of full-and part-time workers
on the payrolls of nonfarm establishments are entered on
form BLS 790; for most industries, there is provision on
form BLS 790 for data (for the pay period which includes
the 12th day of the month) on employment, payroll levels,
and hours of production and related or nonsupervisory
workers.
CONCEPTS
Industrial classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 are classified into industries on the basis of their principal product
or activity determined from information on annual sales
volume. Since January 1980, this information is collected
on a supplement to the quarterly unemployment insurance
tax reports filed by employers. 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 principal
product or activity.
150
All data on employment, hours, and earnings for the
Nation (beginning with August 1990 data) and for States
and areas (beginning with January 1990 data) are classified in accordance with the 1987 Standard Industrial
Classification Manual, Office of Management and Budget.
BLS tabulates and estimates statistics which distinguish
between private and public establishments, thus maintaining continuity with previously published statistics for the
private and government sectors.
Industry employment
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 day 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.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid
volunteer or family workers, farm workers, and domestic
workers. Salaried officers of corporations are included.
Government employment covers only civilian employees;
military personnel are excluded. Employees of the Central
Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency are
also excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sick
leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), on paid
holiday, on paid vacation, or who work during a part of the
pay period even though they are unemployed or on strike
during the rest of the period count as employed. Not
counted as employed are persons who are on layoff, on
leave without pay, on strike for the entire period, or who
were hired but have not yet reported during the period.
Indexes of diffusion of employment change (table B-7).
These indexes measure the dispersion among industries of
the change in employment over the specified time span.
Beginning with August 1990 data, the overall indexes are
calculated from 356 seasonally adjusted employment series (3-digit industries) covering all nonfarm payroll
employment in the private sector. The manufacturing diffusion indexes are based on 139 3-digit industries.
To derive the indexes, each component industry is
assigned a value of 0, 50, or 100 percent, depending on
whether its employment showed a decrease, no change, or
an increase, respectively, over the time span. The average
value (mean) is then calculated, and this percent is the diffusion index number.
The reference point for diffusion analysis is 50 percent,
the value which indicates that the same number of component industries has increased as has decreased. Index numbers above 50 show that more industries had increasing
employment, and values below 50 indicate that more had
decreasing employment. The margin between the percent
that increased and the percent that decreased is equal to
the difference between the index and its complement, i.e.,
100 minus the index. For example, an index of 65 percent
means that 30 percent more industries had increasing employment than had decreasing employment (65-(100-65)
= 30). However, for dispersion analysis, the distance of
the index number from the 50-percent reference point is
the most significant observation.
Although diffusion indexes are commonly interpreted
as showing the percent of components that increased over
the time span, it should be remembered that the index reflects half of the unchanged components as well. (This is
the effect of assigning a value of 50 percent to the unchanged components when computing the index.)
Industry hours and earnings
Average hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payrolls and hours for production and related
workers in manufacturing and mining, construction
workers in construction, and nonsupervisory employees in
private service-producing industries.
Production and related workers include working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (including group
leaders and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing,
assembling, inspecting, receiving, storing, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, trucking, hauling, maintenance, repair, janitorial work, guard services, product development, auxiliary production for a plant's own use
(e.g., power plant), recordkeeping, and other services
closely associated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees
in the construction division: Working supervisors,
qualified craft workers, mechanics, apprentices, helpers,
laborers, etc., engaged in new work, alterations, demolition, repair, maintenance, etc., whether working at the site
of construction or working 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, repairers, salespersons, operators, drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social workers, research aides, teachers, drafters, photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant workers, custodial workers,
attendants, line installers and repairers, laborers, janitors,
guards, and other employees at similar occupational levels
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 day of the month. The payroll is reported before
deductions of any kind, e.g., for old-age and unemploy-
ment insurance, group insurance, withholding tax, bonds,
or union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays,
vacation, and sick leave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses
(unless earned and paid regularly each pay period); other
pay not earned in the pay period reported (e.g., retroactive
pay); tips; and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other
payments 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.
Hours cover the hours paid for during the pay period
which includes the 12th of the month for production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers. Included are hours
paid for holidays, 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 exceeded the number of hours of either the
straight-time workday or the workweek during the pay
period which included 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.
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.
Indexes of aggregate weekly hours. The indexes of aggregate weekly hours are prepared by dividing the current
month's aggregate by the average of the 12 monthly figures
for 1982. For basic industries, the hours aggregates are the
product of average weekly hours and production worker
or nonsupervisory worker employment. At all higher
levels of industry aggregation, hours aggregates are the
sum of the component aggregates.
Average overtime hours. The overtime hours represent that
portion of the average weekly hours which exceeded
regular hours and for which overtime premiums were
paid. If an employee were to work on a paid holiday at
regular rates, receiving as total compensation his or her
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,
weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move
in the same direction from month to month. Such factors
as work stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may
not have the same influence on overtime hours as on average hours. Diverse trends at the industry group level also
may be caused by a marked change in hours for a compo151
nent industry where little or no overtime was worked in
both the previous and current months.
A verage hourly earnings. Average hourly earnings are on a
"gross" basis. They reflect not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates but also such variable factors as
premium pay for overtime and late-shift work and changes
in output of workers paid on an incentive plan. They also
reflect shifts in the number of employees between relatively high-paid and low-paid work and changes in workers'
earnings in individual establishments. 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 amount stipulated for a given
unit of work or time. The earnings series do not measure
the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer
because 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 production worker, construction worker, or nonsupervisory employee definitions.
Average hourly earnings, including lump-sum wage
payments. These series are compiled only for aircraft (SIC
3721) and guided missiles and space vehicles (SIC 3761)
manufacturing. The same concepts and estimation
methods apply to these series as apply to the average hourly earnings series described above; the one difference between the series is definitional. The payroll data used to
calculate this series include lump-sum payments made to
production workers in lieu of general wage rate increases;
such payments are excluded from the definition of gross
payrolls used to calculate the other average hourly earnings series.
For each sample establishment in SIC 3721 and SIC
3761 covered by a lump-sum agreement, the reported payroll data are adjusted to include a prorated portion of the
lump-sum payment. Such payments are generally made
once a year and cover the following 12-month period. In
order to spread the payment across this time period, a prorated portion of the payment is added to the payroll each
month. This prorated portion is adjusted by an exit rate to
reduce the lump-sum amount to account for persons who
received the payment but left before the payment allocation period expired.
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 hours and one-half of total overtime hours. No adjustments are made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime
rates other than time and one-half.
152
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.
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. Average weekly earnings are
derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average
hourly earnings.
Average weekly earnings. These estimates are derived by
multiplying average weekly hours estimates by average
hourly earnings estimates. Therefore, weekly earnings are
affected not only by changes in average hourly earnings
but also by changes in the length of the workweek.
Monthly variations in such factors as the proportion of
part-time workers, stoppages for varying reasons, labor
turnover during the survey period, and absenteeism for
which employees are not paid may cause the average
workweek to fluctuate.
Structural changes in the makeup of the workforce can
affect long-term trends of average weekly earnings. For example, persistent long-term increases in the proportion of
part-time workers in retail trade and many of the services
industries have reduced average workweeks in these industries and have affected the average weekly earnings
series.
Real earnings, or earnings in constant dollars, are calculated from the earnings averages for the current month
using a deflator derived from the Consumer Price Index
for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W).
ESTIMATING METHODS
The Current Employment Statistics (CES) or establishment survey estimates of employment are generated
through an annual benchmark and monthly sample link
procedure. Annual universe counts or benchmark levels
are generated primarily from administrative records on
employees covered by unemployment insurance (UI) tax
laws. These annual benchmarks, established for March of
each year, are projected forward for each subsequent
month based on the trend of the sample employment,
using an estimation procedure called the link relative.
Benchmarks and sample link relatives are computed for
each of 1,700 basic estimation cells defined by industry,
size, and geography for the CES national estimates, and
summed to create aggregate level employment estimates.
Benchmarks
The establishment survey constructs annual benchmarks in order to realign the sample-based employment
totals for March of each year with the Ul-based population counts for March. These population counts are much
less timely than sample-based estimates; however, they
provide an annual point-in-time census for employment.
Population counts are derived from the administrative
file of employees covered by UI. All employers covered by
UI laws are required to report employment and wage information to the appropriate State employment security
agency four times a year. Approximately 99 percent of inscope private employment is covered by UI. A benchmark
for the remaining 1 percent is constructed from alternate
sources, primarily records from the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Social Security Administration. The
full benchmark developed for March replaces the March
sample-based estimate, for each basic cell. The monthly
sample-based estimates for the year preceding and the year
following the benchmark are also then subject to revision.
Monthly estimates for the year preceding the March
benchmark are readjusted using a "wedge back"
procedure. The difference between the final benchmark
level and the previously published March sample estimate
is calculated and spread back across the previous 11
months. The wedge is linear; eleven-twelfths of the March
difference is added to the February estimates, ten-twelfths
to the January estimates, and so on, back to the previous
April estimates which receive one-twelfth of the March
difference. This assumes that the total estimation error
since the last benchmark accumulated at a steady rate
throughout the current benchmark year.
Estimates for the months following the March benchmark are recalculated by applying previously derived
over-the-month sample changes to the new, revised March
level. Thus, while the employment levels for postbenchmark months can be substantially revised, the trends and
over-the-month changes remain relatively the same.
Following the revision of basic employment estimates,
all other derivative series (e.g., production workers,
average hourly earnings) are also recalculated. New seasonal adjustment factors are calculated, and all data series
for the previous 5 years are reseasonally adjusted, prior to
full publication of all revised data in June of each year.
Monthly estimation
Estimates are derived from a sample of approximately
350,000 business establishments nationwide. A current
month's estimate is derived as the product of the previous
month's estimate and a sample link relative for the current
month. A bias adjustment factor is then applied to this result primarily to help account for new business births
during the month.
Stratification. The sample is stratified into 1,700 basic
estimation cells for purposes of computing national employment, hours, and earnings estimates. Cells are defined
primarily by detailed industry, and secondarily by size for
a majority of cells. In a few industries, mostly within the
construction division, geographic stratification is also
used. Industry classification is in accordance with the
7957 Standard Industrial Classification Manual (SIC);
most estimation cells are defined at the 4-digit level.
This detailed stratification pattern allows for the production and publication of estimates in considerable industry detail. Subindustry stratification by size is important because major statistics which the survey measures,
particularly employment change and average earnings,
often vary significantly among establishments of different
size. Stratification reduces the variance of the published
industry level estimates.
Link relative technique. A ratio of the previous to the current month's employment is computed from a sample of
establishments reporting for both months—this ratio is
called a "link relative." For each basic cell, a link relative
is computed and applied to the previous month's employment estimate to derive the current month's estimate.
Thus, a March benchmark is moved forward to the next
March benchmark through application of monthly link
relatives. Basic cell estimates created through the link relative technique are aggregated to form published industry
level estimates, for employment, as described in table 2-A.
Basic estimation and aggregation methods for the hours
and earnings data are also shown in table 2-A.
Bias adjustment. Bias adjustment factors are computed at
the 3-digit SIC level, and applied each month at the basic
cell level, as part of standard estimation procedures. The
main purpose of bias adjustment is to reduce a primary
source of nonsampling error in the survey, the inability to
capture, on a timely basis, employment generated by new
firm births. There is a several month lag between an establishment opening for business and its appearing on the UI
universe frame and being available for sampling. Because
new firms generate a substantial amount of employment
growth during any given year, nonsampling methods must
be used to capture this growth, otherwise substantial underestimation of total employment levels would occur.
Formal bias adjustment procedures have been used by the
establishment survey since the late 1960's. Prior to the
1983 benchmark, bias adjustments were derived from a
simple mean error model, which averaged undercount
errors for the previous 3 years to arrive at bias projections
for the coming year.
This procedure eventually proved inadequate during
periods of rapidly changing employment trends, and bias
adjustment methodology was revised. Research done in
the early 1980's indicated that bias requirements correlated strongly with current employment growth or decline. Based on this research, a revised method was developed which incorporated data on employment growth

over the most recent 2 quarters and included a regressionderived coefficient for the significance of that change, to
adjust the mean error model results. This methodological
change provided a more cyclically sensitive bias model.
The regression-adjusted mean error model has been in use
since 1983 for producing national estimates.

Sample coverage1
THE SAMPLE
Design
The emphasis in the establishment survey is on producing timely data at minimum cost. Therefore, the primary
goal of its design is to sample a sufficiently large segment
of the universe to provide reliable estimates that can be
published both promptly and regularly. The present
sample allows BLS to produce preliminary total nonfarm
employment estimates for each month, including some
limited industry detail, within 3 weeks after the reference
period and to supply data in considerably more detail with
an additional 1-month lag.
The sampling plan used in the establishment survey is a
form of sampling with probability proportionate to size,
known as "sampling proportionate to average size of
establishment." This is an optimum allocation design
among strata because sampling variance is proportional to
the average size of establishments. The universe of establishment employment is highly skewed, with a large percentage of total employment concentrated in relatively few
establishments. Because variance on a population total
estimate is a function of the percentage of universe coverage achieved by the sample, it is efficient to sample larger
establishments at a higher rate than smaller establishments, assuming the cost per sample unit is fairly constant
across size classes.
Under the establishment survey design, large establishments fall into certain strata for sample selection. The size
of the sample for the various industries is determined empirically on the basis of experience and cost considerations. For example, in a manufacturing industry with a
high proportion of total employment concentrated in a
small number of establishments, a larger percent 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 a relatively few
chosen from among the smaller establishments. For an industry in which a large proportion of total employment is
concentrated in small establishments, the sample design
again calls for inclusion of all large establishments but also
for a more substantial number of smaller 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, a sample design for these
industries must have a smaller proportion of total universe coverage than is the case for most manufacturing
industries.

Counts reflect reports used in final estimates. Because not all
establishments report payroll and hours information, hours and earnings estimates are based on a smaller sample than employment estimates.

shows the latest benchmark employment levels and the approximate proportion of total universe employment coverage, at the total nonfarm and major industry division
levels. The coverage for individual industries within the
divisions may vary from the proportions shown.
Reliability
The establishment survey, like other sample surveys, is
subject to two types of error, sampling and nonsampling.
The magnitude of sampling error, or variance, is directly
related to the size of the sample and the percentage of
universe coverage achieved by the sample. The establishment survey sample covers over one-third of total universe
employment; this yields a very small variance on the total
nonfarm estimates. Measurements of error associated with
sample estimates are provided in tables 2C-2F.
Benchmark revision as a measure of survey error. The sum
of sampling and nonsampling error can be considered total

survey error. Unlike most sample surveys which publish
sampling error as their only measure of error, the CES can
derive an annual approximation of total error, on a lagged
basis, because of the availability of the independently
derived universe data. Although the benchmark error is
used as a measure of total error for the CES survey estimate, technically, it represents the difference between two
independent estimates derived from separate survey processes (i.e., the CES sample process and the UI universe
process) and thus reflects the errors present in each program. Historically, the benchmark revision has been very
small for total nonfarm employment. Over the past decade, percentage benchmark error has averaged 0.2 percent, with a range from zero to 0.6 percent. Table 2-C
shows the most current benchmark revisions, along with
10-year mean revisions and mean absolute revisions for
major industries. Mean revisions give an indication of bias
in the estimates; unbiased estimates have a mean revision
close to zero, as over and under estimations cancel out
over time. Mean absolute revisions give an overall
indicator as to the accuracy of the estimates; the larger the
value, the further the estimate was from the final benchmark level.
An alternate measure for determining the reliability of
the employment estimates for individual industries is the
root-mean-square error. This measure is the standard deviation adjusted for the bias in the estimates:
RMSE =
(standard deviation)2
(bias)2
If the bias is small, the chances are about 19 out of 20
that the difference would be less than twice the root-meansquare error.
Approximations of the root-mean-square errors of differences between final estimates and benchmarks are presented in table 2-D.

Hours and earnings. The hours and earnings estimates for
the basic estimating cells do not have universe data sources
available and therefore are not subject to benchmark
revisions, although the broader groupings may be affected
slightly by changes in employment weights. The hours and
earnings estimates, 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 2-E and for individual industries with the specified number of employees in table
2-D. 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.

Noneconomic code changes. A major source of benchmark
revision at the major industry division level and below are
noneconomic code changes, which are introduced into the
universe data in the first quarter of each calendar year.
Approximately one-third of all establishments in the
universe are included in the universe program's annual
SIC refiling survey. Corrections to individual establishments' SIC and ownership codes are made through this
process. The refiling cycle is such that every third year entire division(s) are subject to refiling. The volume of these
adjustments is generally quite large and has a substantial
impact on universe employment counts at the industry
levels, although the total nonfarm employment level remains unaffected. For example, in a year when the services
division is refiled, a substantial amount of employment is
usually reclassified out of services to other major divisions,
thus, lowering the benchmark level for services, and potentially causing a significant downward revision in the
services employment totals previously published.

NOTE: Errors are based on differences from January 1987 through
December 1991. Data used in the computations for several industries
158
are not strictly comparable due to changes in the industrial classification system.
Revisions between preliminary and final data. First preliminary estimates of employment, hours, and earnings, based
on less than the total sample, are published immediately
following the reference month. Final revised sample-based
estimates are published 2 months later when nearly all the
reports in the sample have been received. Table 2-F
presents the root-mean-square error, the mean percent,
and the mean absolute percent revision that may be expected between the preliminary and final employment estimates. The interpretation of these measures parallels the
description above for revisions between final sample-based
estimates and benchmarks (i.e., tables 2-B and 2-D).
Revisions of preliminary hours and earnings estimates
are normally not greater than 0.1 of an hour for weekly
hours and 1 cent for hourly earnings, at the total nonfarm
level, and may be slightly larger for the more detailed industry groupings.
STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
(Tables B-8 and C-8)
State agencies in cooperation with BLS collect and prepare State and area employment, hours, and earnings data.
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 definitions
are noted as they occur. Additional industry detail may be
obtained from the State agencies listed on the inside back
cover of each issue. These statistics are based on the same
establishment reports used by BLS for preparing national
estimates. For employment, the sum of the State figures
may differ slightly from the equivalent official U.S. totals
on a national basis, because some States have more recent
benchmarks than others and because of the effects of differing industrial and geographic stratification.
159
Productivity Data
(Tables C-9 through C-11)
COLLECTION
Productivity data are compiled by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics from establishment and household survey labor
input data and from measures of compensation and output
supplied by the U.S. Department of Commerce and the
Federal Reserve Board.
CONCEPTS
Hours of wage and salary workers in nonfarm
establishments (table C-9) refer to hours paid for all
employees—production workers, nonsupervisory workers, and salaried workers. For productivity and cost
measures (tables C-10, 11), hours of all persons include
hours of employees, proprietors, and unpaid family
workers. Labor input is measured by hours at the worksite.
Output is the constant-dollar market value of final
goods and services produced in a given period. Indexes of
output per hour of all persons (productivity) measure
changes in the volume of goods and services produced per
hour at work.
Compensation per hour includes wages and salaries of
employees plus employers' contributions for social insurance and private benefit plans. The data also include an
estimate of wages, salaries, and supplementary payments
for the self-employed, except for nonfinancial corporations, in which there are no self-employed.
Real compensation per hour is compensation per hour
adjusted by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).
Unit labor costs measure the labor compensation cost required to produce one unit of output and are derived by
dividing compensation per hour by output per hour.
Unit nonlabor payments include profits, capital consumption allowances, interest, rental income of persons,
160
and indirect taxes per unit of output. They are computed
by subtracting compensation of all persons from the
current-dollar gross product originating in the sector and
dividing by output. In these tables, unit nonlabor costs contain all the components of unit nonlabor payments except
unit profits.
Unit profits include corporate profits and inventory
valuation and capital consumption adjustments per unit of
output.
The implicit price deflator is derived by dividing the current-dollar estimate of gross product by the constantdollar estimate, making the deflator, in effect, a price index
for the gross product of the sector reported.
NOTES ON THE DATA
For the business sector and the nonfarm business sector,
these indexes relate to the gross domestic product less
general government, households and institutions, owneroccupied housing, and the statistical discrepancy. For the
nonfinancial corporate sector, the indexes refer to the
gross domestic product of nonfinancial corporate
business. All measures are seasonally adjusted.
Manufacturing output data are supplied by the Bureau
of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce,
and the Federal Reserve Board. Quarterly measures have
been adjusted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to annual
estimates of output (gross product originating) from the
Bureau of Economic Analysis.
Compensation and hours data are from the Bureau of
Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Historical statistics for most productivity measures appear in Trends in Multifactor Productivity, 1948-81, BLS
Bulletin 2178. Additional information may be obtained
from the Office of Productivity and Technology
(202-606-5606).
Regional, State, and Area Labor Force Data
(Tables D-1 through D-3)
FEDERAL-STATE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM
Labor force and unemployment estimates for States, labor market areas (LMA's), and other areas covered under
Federal assistance programs are developed by State employment security agencies under a Federal-State cooperative program. The local unemployment estimates which
derive from standardized procedures developed by BLS
are the basis for determining eligibility of an area for benefits under Federal programs such as the Job Training and
Partnership Act, the Economic Dislocation and Worker
Adjustment Assistance Act, and the Urban Development
Action Grant program.
Annual average data for the States and areas shown in
table D-3 are published in Employment and Earnings
(usually the May issue). For regions, States, selected metropolitan areas, and central cities, annual average data
classified by selected demographic, social, and economic
characteristics are published in the BLS bulletin, Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment.
Labor force estimates for counties, cities, and other
small areas have been prepared for administration of
various Federal economic assistance programs and may be
ordered from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402.
The report "Unemployment in States and Local Areas" is
published monthly through GPO and is available in
microfiche form only, on a subscription basis.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Monthly labor force, employment, and unemployment
estimates are prepared for the 50 States, the District of
Columbia, and over 2,600 labor market areas. The
estimation methods are described below for States (and the
District of Columbia) and for sub-State areas. A more detailed description of the estimation procedure is contained
in the BLS document, Manual for Developing Local Area
Unemployment Statistics.
Estimates for States
Current monthly estimates. The civilian labor force and
unemployment estimates for the 11 largest States—California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
and Texas—are sufficiently reliable to be taken directly
from the Current Population Survey (CPS) on a monthly
basis. These are termed "direct-use States." For a description of the CPS concepts, see "Household Data,"
above.
For the 39 smaller States and the District of Columbia,
which do not use the CPS directly each month, regression
models (sets of equations) are used to develop employment
and unemployment estimates. These are the "non-directuse" States. The regression techniques are based on historical and current relationships found within each State's
economy as reflected in the different sources of data that
are available for each State—the CPS, the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, and the unemployment
insurance (UI) system. When the estimation procedures
were introduced in 1989, over 10 years of data were used to
develop the equations for each State. While all the State
models have important variables in common, they differ
somewhat from one another so as to better reflect
individual State characteristics.
Two models—one for employment and one for the unemployment rate—are used for each State. The unemployment rate, rather than the unemployment level, is modeled
primarily because the rate is usually more meaningful for
economic analysis.
The employment models use the CES estimates of nonfarm wage and salary jobs and also include data for
employed persons not covered or only partially covered by
the CES survey. Typically, these are agricultural workers,
the self-employed, unpaid family workers, and private
household workers.
The unemployment rate models also include different
types of data. Data for UI claimants (without earnings due
to employment) are used to represent most of the experienced unemployed. The models also include an employment-to-population ratio which reflects both the business
cycle and the experienced unemployed not covered by the
UI claims data. New entrants and reentrants into the labor
force are also addressed in the models. For some States,
the models include variables which adjust for seasonal factors not reflected in the other data used, such as the large
increase in the labor force at the end of the school year.
In both the employment and unemployment rate
models, an important feature is the use of a technique that
allows the equations to adjust automatically to structural
changes that occur. The models are termed "variable coefficient models" because they include a built-in tuning
mechanism, known as the Kalman Filter, which revises a
model's coefficients when the new data that become available each month indicate that changes in the data relationships have taken place. Once the estimates are developed
from the models, the unemployment level and labor force
estimates are calculated.
Benchmark correction procedures. Once each year,
monthly estimates for the 39 non-direct-use States and the
District of Columbia are adjusted, or benchmarked, by
161
BLS to the annual average CPS estimates. The benchmarking technique employs a procedure (called the
Denton method) which adjusts the annual average of the
models to equal the CPS annual average, while preserving,
as much as possible, the original monthly seasonal pattern
of the model estimates.
In the 11 direct-use States, no benchmark correction is
required; the average of the 12 monthly State CPS
estimates will equal the CPS annual averages.
Estimates for sub-State areas
Monthly labor force and employment estimates for two
large sub-State areas—New York City and the Los
Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area—are obtained directly from the CPS. Estimates for all other sub-State
areas, more than 2,600 labor market areas (LMA's), are
prepared through indirect estimation techniques,
described below.
Preliminary estimate—employment The total civilian employment estimates are based on CES data. These "placeof-work" estimates must be adjusted to refer to place of
residence as used in the CPS. Factors for adjusting from
place of work to place of residence have been developed for
several categories of employment on the basis of employment relationships at the time of the 1980 decennial
census. These factors are applied to the CES estimates for
the current period to obtain adjusted employment esti-
162
mates, to which are added estimates for employment not
represented in the CES—agricultural employees, nonagricultural self-employed and unpaid family workers, and
private household workers.
Preliminary estimate—unemployment
In the current
month, the estimate of unemployment is an aggregate of
the estimates for each of three categories: (1) Persons who
were previously employed in industries covered by State
UI laws; (2) those previously employed in industries not
covered by these laws; and (3) those who were entering the
civilian labor force for the first time or reentering after a
period of separation.
Sub-State adjustment for additivity. Estimates of employment and unemployment are prepared for the State and
LMA's within the State. The LMA estimates geographically exhaust the entire State. Thus, a proportional adjustment must be applied to all sub-State LMA estimates to
ensure that they add to the independently estimated State
totals for employment and unemployment.
Benchmark correction. At the end of each year, sub-State
estimates are revised. The revisions incorporate any
changes in the inputs, such as revisions in the CES-based
employment figures, corrections in claims counts, and updated historical relationships. The corrected estimates are
then readjusted to add to the revised (benchmarked) State
estimates of employment and unemployment.
Seasonal Adjustment
Over the course of a year, the size of the Nation's labor
force, the levels of employment and unemployment, and
other measures of labor market activity undergo sharp
fluctuations due to such seasonal events as changes in
weather, reduced or expanded production, harvests, major
holidays, and the opening and closing of schools. Because
these seasonal events follow a more or less regular pattern
each year, their influence on statistical trends can be eliminated by adjusting the statistics from month to month.
These adjustments make it easier to observe the cyclical
and other nonseasonal movements in the series. In evaluating 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, because they are
subject not only to sampling and other errors but are also
affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment
process itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor
force and establishment-based data are published monthly
in Employment and Earnings.
Since January 1980, national labor force data have been
seasonally adjusted with a procedure called X-l 1 ARIMA
(Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average), which was
developed at Statistics Canada as an extension of the
standard X-l 1 method. A detailed description of the procedure appears in The X-l 1 ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment
Method by Estela Bee Dagum, Statistics Canada
Catalogue No. 12-564E, January 1983.
At the beginning of each calendar year, projected
seasonal adjustment factors are calculated for use during
the January-June period. In July of each year, BLS calculates and publishes in Employment and Earnings projected
seasonal adjustment factors for use in the second half,
based on the experience through June. Revisions of
historical data for the most recent 5 years are made only at
the beginning of each calendar year. However, as a result
of the revisions to the estimates for 1970-81 based on 1980
census population counts, revisions to seasonally adjusted
series in early 1982 were carried back to 1970.
All labor force and unemployment rate statistics, as well
as the major employment and unemployment estimates,
are computed by aggregating independently adjusted
series. For example, for each of the three major labor force
components—agricultural employment, nonagricultural
employment, and unemployment—data for four sex-age
groups (men and women under and over 20 years of age)
are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then
added to derive seasonally adjusted total figures. The seasonally adjusted figure for the labor force is a sum of eight
seasonally adjusted civilian employment components,
plus the resident Armed Forces total (not adjusted for
seasonality), and four seasonally adjusted unemployment
components. The total for unemployment is the sum of the
four unemployment components, and the overall unemployment rate is derived by dividing the resulting estimate
of total unemployment by the estimate of the labor force.
Because of the independent seasonal adjustment of various
series, components will not necessarily add to totals.
In each January issue, Employment and Earnings
publishes revised seasonally adjusted data for selected
labor force series based on the experience through
December, new seasonal adjustment factors to be used to
calculate the civilian unemployment estimate for the first 6
months of the following year, and a description of the
current seasonal adjustment procedure. Revised seasonally adjusted data covering the revision period for a broader
range of labor force series are published in the February
issue of this publication.
Beginning in 1992, BLS introduced publication of
seasonally adjusted labor force data for the census regions
and divisions, the 50 States, and the District of Columbia,
(tables D-l and D-2). Using the X-l 1 ARIMA procedure,
seasonal adjustment factors are computed and applied independently to the component employment and unemployment levels and then aggregated to regional or State
totals. Current seasonal adjustment factors are produced
for 6-month periods twice a year. Historical revisions are
made at the beginning of each calendar year. Because of
the separate processing procedures, totals for the Nation
as a whole differ from the results obtained by aggregating
regional or State data.
Since the early 1980's, BLS has also used the X-ll
ARIMA procedure to seasonally adjust establishmentbased employment, hours, and earnings data. The X-ll
ARIMA program had been run once each year after
benchmarking and seasonal adjustment factors had been
projected and published for 12 months ahead (AprilMarch). Beginning in June 1989, with the introduction of
the March 1988 benchmarks, the Bureau modified this
procedure to parallel that used in seasonally adjusting
household survey data. Projected seasonal adjustment
factors are calculated and published twice a year.
Revisions of historical data will continue to be made once
a year, coincident with benchmark revisions.
All series are seasonally adjusted using the multiplicative models under X-ll ARIMA. For employment,
seasonal adjustment factors are directly applied to the
component levels. Seasonally adjusted totals for hours and
earnings series are obtained by taking a weighted average
of the seasonally adjusted data for the component series.
Seasonally adjusted average weekly earnings are the
product of seasonally adjusted average hourly earnings
and seasonally adjusted average weekly hours. Average
weekly earnings in constant dollars, seasonally adjusted,
are obtained by dividing average weekly earnings, season163
ally adjusted, by the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price
Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers
(CPI-W), and multiplying by 100. Indexes of aggregate
weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by multiplying average weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by
production or nonsupervisory workers, seasonally
adjusted, and dividing by the 1982 annual average base.
For total private, total goods-producing, total private
service-producing, and major industry divisions, the
indexes of aggregate weekly hours, seasonally adjusted,
are obtained by summing the aggregate weekly hours,
seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate component
industries and dividing by the 1982 annual average base.
Seasonally adjusted data are not published for a number
of series characterized by small seasonal components
relative to their trend-cycle and/or irregular components.
These failed or unsatisfactory seasonally adjusted series,
however, are used in the aggregation to broader level
seasonally adjusted series.
Seasonal adjustment factors for Federal Government
employment are derived from unadjusted data which
include Christmas temporary workers employed by the
Postal Service. The number of temporary census workers
164
for the decennial census, however, are removed prior to
the calculation of seasonal adjustment factors.
BLS has developed an extension of X-ll ARIMA to
allow it to adjust more adequately for the effects of the
presence or absence of religious holidays in the April
survey reference period and of Labor Day in the
September reference period. This extension was applied
for the first time at the end of 1989 to three persons-at-work labor force series which tested as having significant and well-defined effects in their April data
associated with the timing of Easter. This extension was
also used for the seasonal adjustment of many of the establishment-based series on average weekly hours and manufacturing over-time hours, starting with the computation
of the projected factors for the period beginning in April
1990.
Revised seasonally adjusted establishment-based series
based on the experience through March 1992, new
seasonal adjustment factors for May-October 1992, and a
description of the current seasonal adjustment procedure
appear in the June 1992 issue of Employment and
Earnings.
