Revised Data on Employment,
Hours, and Earnings

With the release of data for May 1989, the establishment-based series on
nonagricultural payroll employment, hours, and earnings were adjusted to March
1988 benchmarks. Coincident with the benchmark adjustments, all seasonally
adjusted series for the previous 5-year period were revised to take account of
the experience through March 1989. These revisions affect unadjusted series
from April 1987 and seasonally adjusted series from January 1984 forward.
This supplement presents unadjusted data from 1983 and seasonally
adjusted data from 1980. All series end with February 1989, the last month
of final published estimates prior to the benchmark revision. It replaces the
Supplement to Employment and Earnings issued in-August 1988.
Included are monthly and annual average employment for all employees; women
employees; production workers in mining and manufacturing; construction workers
in construction; and nonsupervisory workers in the remaining private nonagricultural
industries. Also shown for private nonagricultural industries are average weekly
hours and average hourly and weekly earnings. Average weekly overtime hours
and average hourly earnings, excluding overtime, are presented for selected
manufacturing series. The supplement also includes indexes of aggregate weekly
hours and payrolls; constant-dollar earnings related to 1977 as a base year; diffusion
indexes of employment change; and average hourly earnings series, excluding
and including lump-sum payments, for selected aerospace industries.
This supplement, combined with the historical volume, Employment, Hours,
and Earnings, United States, 1909-84, BLS Bulletin 1312-12, comprises all
published historical series of national data derived from the establishment survey.
The major technical characteristics of the Current Employment Statistics
(CES) program, such as scope, concepts, survey methods, estimating
techniques, and limitations, highlighted in the next few paragraphs, are
described fully in the technical note following the tables.
Benchmark adjustments
Periodically, BLS adjusts its industry employment series to more recent
benchmarks (comprehensive counts of employment) to correct for sampling
variability and for changes in the industrial activity of establishments. Current
estimates in this supplement are projected from the most recent benchmark
available—March 1988. Unadjusted series from April 1987 forward and seasonally




adjusted series from January 1984 forward are not comparable with those previously
published in Employment and Earnings or the Monthly Labor Review. All unadjusted
series for periods after March 1988 and all seasonally adjusted series for periods
after December 1984 are subject to revision when the series are adjusted to new
benchmark levels. The next revision is scheduled for publication in late 1990.
Collection of data
Each month, a representative panel of industrial, commercial, and government
establishments, employing collectively over 38 million workers, voluntarily submit
information from payroll records to the State agencies participating in the CES
program. After extracting data necessary for the preparation of State and area
estimates on employment, hours, and earnings, these agencies forward the
reports to BLS for use in the development of national estimates.
Industrial classification
The Standard Industrial Classification (sic) system is used to achieve
uniformity and comparability in the presentation of industry data and to reflect
structural changes that occur in a dynamic economy. The industry statistics
in this publication are based on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification
Manual published by the Office of Management and Budget. Beginning in
1990, data will be reclassified in accordance with the 1987 sic Manual.
Publication of current data
Beginning with the June 1989 issue, current statistics comparable with the figures
shown in this supplement are provided each month in the periodical Employment
and Earnings. For details on ordering, see the inside front cover of this supplement.
Related State and area statistics
Only national data are presented in this supplement. The bulletin, Employment,
Hours, and Earnings, States and Areas, 1972-87 (BLS Bulletin 2320) provides
similar information for all 50 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the
Virgin Islands, and 262 metropolitan areas. The bulletin contains monthly and
annual average data for total employment, average weekly hours, and average
hourly and weekly earnings obtained from the CES program.
