PREFACE
This bulletin continues the Bureau of Labor Statistics program of providing basic informa­
tion on the Nation’ s nonfarm work force. It is the second comprehensive data book on national
statistics released by the BLS within the past 2 years and replaces Employment and Earnings
Statistics for the United States, 1909-60 (BLS Bulletin 1312).
Payroll employment statistics, which provide detailed industry information on the employ­
ment, hours, and earnings of nonfarm wage and salary workers, are based on data supplied by
employers. Each month a representative panel of industrial, commercial, and government estab­
lishments, employing collectively about 25 million workers, voluntarily submits data, drawn from
payroll records, to the State agencies cooperating with BLS. In these agencies, data are extracted
for preparation of estimates on State and area employment, hours, and earnings. The reports are
then sent to the BLS to be used in the preparation of national estimates. This program is con­
ducted jointly by State employment security agencies, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the
Bureau of Employment Security in 43 States and the District of Columbia; in the remaining States,
the program is a cooperative endeavor by State Departments of Labor and the BLS.
Contribution (tax) reports filed by employers subject to State unemployment insurance laws
are the major source of benchmarks on which employment statistics are based. These reports,
covering about three-fourths of the total number of nonfarm employees in the United States, are
collected and tabulated by State employment security agencies under the direction of BES. Bench­
mark data for the remaining portion of nonfarm employees are obtained by BLS from information
collected under the programs of the Social Security Administration, the Civil Service Commission,
the Interstate Commerce Commission, and a number of other agencies, both private and government.
Labor turnover statistics, showing the rate of accessions and separations, by industry, are
also based on data voluntarily supplied by employers. The State agencies in the labor turnover
statistics program have the same responsibilities as in the employment statistics program. In 49
States and the District of Columbia, the program is operated by the State employment security
agencies, BLS, and BES.
This bulletin was prepared in the Division of Industry Employment Statistics, Robert
Dorman, Chief, and the Division of Data Systems Research and D e v e l o p m e n t , Rudolph
Mendelssohn, Chief, under the general direction of Harold Goldstein, Assistant Commissioner
Manpower and Employment Statistics, and Dudley E. Young, Deputy Assistant Commissioner
Manpower and Employment Statistics.

CAUTION
Periodically, the Bureau adjusts the industry employment series to a recent bench­
mark to improve its accuracy. These adjustments may also affect the hours and earnings
series because employment levels are used as weights. All the industry statistics in this
book for periods after March 1962, the present benchmark date, are therefore subject to
revision.

INTRODUCTION
This volume traces the growth and transformation of the Nation’s industrial economy thrpugh
the distribution of its employed manpower. Monthly data, adjusted to March 1962 benchmarks
(comprehensive counts of employment), are shown from the earliest date of availability through
May 1963 for each series regularly published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The data show in w
hat* industries people have jobs, the employees’ average weekly hours,
and hourly and weekly earnings. Included are monthly and annual figures for all employees, pro­
duction workers, weekly earnings, weekly hours, hourly earnings, overtime hours, employment of
women, and labor turnover rates. Also provided are seasonally adjusted data for a number of
these series, as well as indexes of aggregate weekly hours and payrolls. Data on spendable
weekly earnings, and hourly earnings excluding overtime are also shown.
Each industry title is followed by the appropriate SIC code. The product or activity of the
industry conforms to the definition for that code as described in the 1957 Standard Industrial
Classification Manual, p u b l i s h e d by the Office of Statistical Standards of the Bureau of the
Budget.
Definitions of the industries included are also available in the Guide to Employment
Statistics o f BLS, 1961 .

Periodically, the BLS adjusts its industry employment series to recent benchmarks to improve
the accuracy of sample-based estimates. Since November 1961, the series has been projected
from benchmarks relating to March 1959* The estimates have now been adjusted to March 1962
levels, and many series, commencing with April 1959, have been revised and supersede those
previously published in Employment and Earnings, the Monthly Labor Review§ and in BLS Bul­
letin 1312, Employment and Earnings Statistics for the United States, 1909*60, issued in 1961.
Since post-benchmark projections are subject to revision, estimates beginning with April 1962
may be revised at the time of the next comprehensive count of employment. A special article,
“ New Benchmark Levels for BLS Establishment Employment Estimates," featured in the September
1963 issue of Employment and Earnings, discusses in detail the effect of the benchmark adjust­
ments. Reprints of the article are a v a i l a b l e upon request to BLS or to any of the six BLS
regional offices listed on the inside back cover of this bulletin.
Bulletin 1312-1 is primarily intended to bring together all information available for each
industry for which data are published. However, summary tables beginning on page xv show, in
historical perspective, employment in the total nonfarm sector, the major nonagricultural divi­
sions, the manufacturing subdivisions (durable goods and nondurable goods), and all major manu­
facturing groups. Hours and earnings summary tables have also been prepared for total
manufacturing and its s u b d i v i s i o n s , mining, contract construction, and trade. The historical
summary table for labor turnover rates is limited to accessions, new hires, separations, quits,
and layoffs for total manufacturing.
Also featured in this section on page xx are levels of employment for March of 1959, 1961,
and 1962 for some i n d u s t r y categories for which monthly data are not regularly published in
Employment and Earnings. The data shown are the actual benchmark levels for these industries.
For comparative purposes the published industry division totals are also provided here.
Although only national data are presented in this volume, a companion bulletin, Employment
and Earnings Statistics for States and Areas, 1939-62 (BLS Bulletin 1370), provides similar infor­
mation for all States, the District of Columbia, and 146 areas. That bulletin presents annual
averages for total employment, and weekly earnings, weekly hours, and hourly earnings of produc­
tion workers from the beginning date of each series through 1962. All industry detail, currently
published by each BLS cooperating State agency based on the 1957 Standard Industrial Classi­
fication Manual, is shown.
Future editions of the present volume are p l a n n e d when the series are adjusted to new
benchmark levels. Users interested in current statistics will find these published in the monthly
report Employment and Earnings, which is available by subscription. (See details on inside front
cover of this bulletin.)

1/ Quits include miscellaneous separations prior to 1940.
2/ Beginning January 1943 labor turnover rates refer to all employees; previously, to production
workers only.
3/ Beginning with January 1959# transfers between establishments of the same firm are included in
total accessions and total separations, therefore rates for these items are not strictly comparable
with prior data.
Transfers comprise pant of other accessions and other separations, the rates for
which are not shown separately.
NOTE: Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1959*
This inclvision has not significantly
affected the labor turnover series.

Technical Note
INTRODUCTION.
This technical note describes the con cepts, scop e,
and survey methods used in the preparation o f the employ­
ment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover series shown
in this volume.

C O LLEC T IO N
Payroll reports provide current information on wage
and salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turn­
over in nonfarm establishm ents, by industry and geograph­
ic location.

Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State ag en cies,
the respondent fills out only one employment or labor
turnover schedule, which is then used for national, State,
and area estim ates. This elim inates duplicate reporting
on the part of respondents and, together with the use of
identical techniques at the national and State le v e ls,
insures maximum geographic comparability o f estim ates.
State agen cies mail the forms to the establishments
and examine the returns for con sisten cy, accuracy, and
com pleteness. The States use the information to prepare
State and area series and then send the establishment
data to the BLS for use in preparing the national series.

Shuttle Schedules

ment to the monthly 790 or 1219 report. In the ca se of
an establishment making more than one product or en­
gaging in more than one activity, the entire employment
of the establishm ent is included under the industry indi­
cated by the most important product or activity.
All national, State, and area employment, hours,
earnings, and labor turnover sdries are cla s s ifie d in ac­
cordance with the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual, Bureau o f the Budget, 1957. Since many of the
published industry series represent combinations of SIC
industries, the BLS has prepared a Guide to Employment
Statistics o f BLS, 1961 , which sp e cifie s the SIC code or
codes covered by each industry title listed. In addition,
the Guide provides industry definitions and lists the be­
ginning date of each series.
The Guide is available
free upon request.

Industry Employment
Employment data for all except em ployees of the
Federal Government refer to persons on establishment
payrolls who received pay for any part of the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month. For Federal Gov­
ernment establishm ents, 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-em ployed,
unpaid family workers, farm workers, and dom estic work­
ers in households. Salaried officers o f corporations are
included. Government employment covers only civilian
em ployees; Federal military personnel are excluded from
total nonagricultural employment.

Two types of data collection schedules are used:
Form BLS 790~Confidential Report on Employment, Pay­
rolls, and Hours; and Form DL 1219—1 onfidential Report
C
on Labor Turnover. These schedules are of the "shuttle**
type, with space for each month of the calendar year.
The schedule is returned to the respondent each month
by the collectin g agency so that the next month’ s data
can be entered. This procedure assures maximum com­
parability and accuracy of reporting, since the respondent
can see the figures he has reported for previous months.
The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the num­
ber of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishm ents and, for most industries, pay­
roll and manhours o f production and related workers or
nonsupervisory workers for the pay period ending nearest
the 15th of each month. The labor turnover schedule
provides for the co llection o f information on the total
number of a c c e s s io n s and separations, by type, during
the calendar month.

CO N CEPTS
Industrial Classification
Establishments are cla ssified into industries on
the basis o f their principal product or activity determined
from information on annual sa les volume. This informa­
tion is collected each year on an industry cla ss supple­




Persons on an establishment payroll who are on
paid sick leave (when pay is received directly from the
firm), on paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work
during a part o f the pay period and are unemployed or
on strike during the rest o f the period, are counted as
employed. Not counted as employed are persons who are
laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire
period, or who are hired but do not report to work during
the period.

Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports
o f payrolls and man-hours for production and related
workers, construction workers, or nonsupervisory em­

Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates*
Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated
period o f time, while rates are the amounts stipulated foi
a given unit o f work or time* The earnings series, how­
ever, does not measure the level of total labor c o s ts on
the part of the employer since the follow ing are exclu ded:
Irregular bonuses, retroactive items, payments o f various
welfare ben efits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and
earnings for those em ployees not covered under the pro­
duction-worker or nonsupervisory-em ployee definitions*

auxiliary production for plant’ s own use (e*g*, power
plant), and recordkeeping and other serv ices c lo s e ly as­
socia ted with the above production operations*
Construction workers relate to the follow in g em­
p lo y ees in the contract construction division : Working
foremen, journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, laborers,
etc*, whether working at the site o f construction or in
shops or yards, at job s (such as precutting and preas­
sem bling) ordinarily performed by members o f the con­
struction trades*
Nonsupervisory
em ployees
include
em ployees
(noj above the working supervisory le v e l) such as o ffic e
and clerica l workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators,
drivers, attendants, service em ployees, linemen, laborers,
janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational le v e ls , and
other em ployees w hose services are c lo s e ly a ssocia ted
with those of the em ployees listed*

Gross average w eekly earnings are derived by multi­
plying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings*
Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by
changes in gross average hourly earnings, but also by
changes in the length of the workweek, part-time work,
stoppages for varying ca u ses, labor turnover, and absen­
teeism*

Payroll covers the payroll for fulk* and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who
received pay for any part o f the pay period ending nearest
the 15th o f the month* The payroll is reported before de­
ductions of any kind, e*g«, for old-age and unemployment
insurance, group insurance, withholding tax, bonds, or
union dues; also included is pay for overtime, h olidays,
vacations, and sick leave paid directly by the firm*
Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay
period), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e*g*,
retroactive pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals,
or other payment in kind are excluded*

Average Weekly Hours
The workweek information relates to the average
hours for which pay w as received, and is different from
standard or scheduled hours* Such factors as absentee­
ism, labor turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause
average weekly hours to be lower than scheduled hours
o f work for an establishment* Group averages further re­
flect changes in the workweek o f component industries*

Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the
gross average weekly hours which were in e x c e s s o f reg­
ular hours and for which premium payments were made*
If an em ployee worked on a paid holiday at regular rates,
receiving as total compensation his holiday pay plus
straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no overtime
hours would be reported.

cover man-hours worked or paid for,
during the pay period ending nearest the 15th o f the month,
for production, construction, and nonsupervisory workers.
The man-hours include hours paid for holidays and vaca­
tions, and for sick lea v e when pay is received directly
from the firm*
Man-hours

Overtime hours cover premium overtime hours of
production and related workers during the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month* Overtime hours
are those for which premiums were paid because the
hours were in e x c e s s o f the number o f hours of either the
straight-time workday or workweek* Weekend and h oli­
day hours are included only if premium wage rates were
paid*
Hours for which only shift differential, hazard,
incentive, or other similar types o f premiums were paid
are excluded*

Since overtime hours are premium hours by defini­
tion, gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not nec­
essarily move in the same direction, from month-to-month;
for example, premiums may be paid tor hours m e x c e s s
o f the straight-time workday although le s s than a full
week is worked* Diverse trends at the industry-group
level may also be caused by a marked change in gross
hours for a component industry where little or no over­
time was worked in both the previous and current months*
In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism , and
labor turnover may not have the same influence on over­
time hours as on gross hours.

Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings

Railroad Hours and Earnings

Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and non­
manufacturing industries are on a “ g ro s s” b a sis, re­
flectin g not only changes in basic hourly and incentive
wage rates, but a lso such variable factors as premium
pay for overtime and late-shift work, and changes in out­
put of workers paid on an incentive plan. Shifts in the
volume of employment between relatively high-paid and
low-paid work and changes in workers* earnings in indi­
vidual establishm ents also affept the general earnings
averages. Averages for groups and divisions further re­
flect changes in average hourly earnings for individual

The figures for c la s s I railroads (excluding switch­
ing and terminal com panies) are based on monthly data
summarized in the M-300 report of the Interstate Com­
merce Commission and relate to all em ployees who re­
ceived pay during the month, except execu tiv es, o ffic ia ls ,
and staff assistants (ICC group I). Gross average hourly
earnings are computed by dividing total compensation
by total hours paid for* Average weekly hours are ob­
tained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, re­
duced to a w eekly basis, by the number of em ployees, as
defined above* Gross average weekly earnings are de­
rived by multiplying average weekly hours by average
hourly earnings*

industries.

Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dol­
lars are obtained by deducting estimated Federal socia l
1security and income taxes from gross weekly earnings.
The amount o f income tax liability depends on the number
of dependents supported by the worker, as w ell as on the
level of his gross income. To reflect these variables,
spendable earnings are computed for a worker with no
dependents, and a worker with three dependents. The
computations are based on the gross average weekly
earnings for all production or nonsupervisory workers in
the industry division without regard to marital status,
family com position, or total family incom e.
" R e a l " earnings are computed by dividing the cur­
rent Consumer P rice Index into the earnings averages for
the current month. The resulting level of earnings ex­
pressed in 1957-59 dollars is thus adjusted for changes
in purchasing power since the base period.

Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium over­
time pay are computed by dividing the total productionworker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total
production-worker man-hours and one-half of total over­
time man-hours. Prior to January 1956, these data were
based on the application of adjustment factors to gross
average hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly
Labof Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540).
Both methods
eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at
112 times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made
/
for other premium payment provision s, such as holiday
work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time
and one-half.

Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man­
hours are prepared by dividing the current month’ s ag­
gregate by the monthly average for the 1957-59 period.
The man-hour aggregates are the product of average week­
ly hours and production-worker employment, and the pay­
roll aggregates are the product of gross average weekly
earnings and production-worker employment.

New hires are temporary or permanent additions to
the employment roll o f persons who have never before
been employed in the establishment (except em ployees
transferring from another establishment o f the same com­
pany) or o f former em ployees not recalled by the employer.
Other a ccession s, which are not published sepa­
rately but are included in total a c c e ssio n s , are all ad­
ditions to the employment roll which are not c la s sifie d
as new hires, including transfers from another establish­
ment o f the company.
Separations are terminations o f employment during
the calendar month and are cla s sifie d according to cau se:
Quits, la y offs, and other separations, as defined below.
Quits are terminations o f employment initiated by
em ployees, failure to report after being hired, and un­
authorized ab sen ces, if on the last day of the month the
person has been absent more than 7 con secu tive calendar
days.
L ayoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or
expected to last more than 7 con secu tive calendar days,
initiated by the employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published sepa­
rately but are included in total separations, are termina­
tions of employment because o f discharge, permanent
disability, death, retirement, transfers to another estab­
lishment of the company, and entrance into the Armed
F orces for a period expected to last more than 30 c o n -'
secu tiv e calendar days.

Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in man­
ufacturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are
not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's
employment series for the follow ing reasons: (1) A c ce s­
sions and separations are computed for the entire calen­
dar month; the employment reports refer to the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month; and (2) em ployees
on strike are not counted as turnover actions although
such em ployees are excluded from the employment esti­
mates if the work stoppage extends through the report
period.

Labor Turnover
ESTIMATING METHODS

Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and
salary workers into and out of employed status with respect
to individual establishm ents.
This movement, which
relates to a calendar month, is divided into two broad
types: A cce ssio n s (new hires and rehires) and separa­
tions (terminations of employment initiated by either
employer or em ployee). Each type of action is cumulated
for a calendar month and expressed as a rate per 100
em ployees. The data relate to all em ployees, whether
full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including ex e c­
utive, o ffic e , sa les, other salaried personnel, and produc­
tion workers. Transfers to another establishment of the
company are included, beginning with January 1959.

The principal features o f the estimating procedure
used to prepare estim ates o f employment for the indus­
try statistics are (1) the us6 o f the "lin k re la tiv e " tech­
nique, which is a form o f ratio estimation, (2) periodic
adjustment of employment le v e ls to new benchmarks, and
(3) the use o f a modified cutoff type of sample.

The "Lin k Relative" Technique
From a sample of establishm ents, which report for
both the previous and current months, the ratio of current
month employment to that of the previous month is com­
puted. The estimates of employment (all em ployees, in­
cluding production and nonproduction workers together)
for the current month are obtained by multiplying the e s­
timates for the previous month by these "lin k r e la tiv e s ."

A c c e ssio n s are the total number of permanent and
temporary additions to the employment roll, including
both new and rehired em ployees.




627

Other features of the general procedures used for
estimating industry employment, hours, earnings, and
labor-turnover statistics are described in the table on
page 632. Further
details are given in the technical
notes on Measurement o f Employment, H o u r s , and
Earnings in Nonagricultural I n d u s t r i e s and on Meas­
urement o f Labor Turnover, which are available upon
request.
A number of industries are stratified by size of
establishment and/or by region, and the stratified pro­
duction- or nonsupervisory-worker d a t a are u s e d to
weight the hours and earnings into b r o a d e r industry
groupings.
Accordingly, the basic estimating c e ll for
an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the term
is used in the summary of computational methods on
page 632 may be a whole industry or a size stratum, a
region stratum, or a size stratum of a region within an
industry.

Benchmark Adjustments
Employment estimates are periodically compared
with comprehensive counts of employment which provide
"benchm arks” for the various nonagricultural industries,
and appropriate adjustments are made as indicated. The
industry estim ates are currently projected from March
1962 le v e ls ; normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.
The primary source of benchmark information is the
employment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by State
agen cies from reports of establishments covered under
State unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations,
covering about three-fourths of the total nonfarm employ­
ment in the United States are prepared under the direc­
tion of the Bureau of Employment Security. Benchmark
data for the residual are obtained from the records of the
Social Security Administration, the Interstate Commerce
Com m ission, and a number of other agen cies in private
industry or government.
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are
compared with new benchmark lev els, industry by indus­
try.
If revisions are necessary, the monthly series of
estimates are adjusted between the new benchmark and
the preceding one, and the new benchmark for each indus­
try is then carried forward progressively to the current
month by use o f the sample trends* Thus, under this pro­
cedure, the benchmark is used to establish the level of
employment, while the sample is used to measure the
month-to-month changes in the level.

TH E SAMPLE
Design
The sample design used in the BLS establishment
employment and labor turnover statistics programs is
that of a modified cutoff sample. In a cutoff design, all
establishments in a category are listed in sequence by
number o f em ployees. A cutoff point is selected in terms
of the number of em ployees in an establishm ent, and only
establishm ents above the cutoff point are included in the
design. At present, sample selection is made by the c o ­
operating State agencies at the area lev el with supple­
mentation for establishments in section s of the State
lying outside of the defined areas. The national sample
therefore is then the sum of all the State sam ples.
In cutoff sampling, the general objectiv e is to ob­
tain a sample comprising a large enough proportion of
universe employment so that satisfactory estimates can
be prepared. Since employer participation in the BLS
programs is voluntary, some establishm ents above the
cutoff may decline to report. To replace these in the de­
sign, reports are solicited from the next largest estab­
lishments below the cutoff until the desired employment
coverage is attained. In addition, to meet the needs of
preparing estimates of weekly hours and hourly earn­
ings, procedures were introduced to secure representa­
tion of the smaller establishments in each industry.
B ecause of this procedure, and also because sampling
takes place primarily at the level of the metropolitan
areas, which vary greatly in siz e , the sample includes
a considerable number of small establishm ents, togeth­
er with a very substantial proportion of the larger e sta b ­
lishments in American industry.
As a result of these procedures, the sample con­
sists of heavy representations of the largest establish ­
ments in each industry with a considerable representa­
tion of smaller establishments as w ell. In the context
of the BLS employment and labor turnover statistics
programs, with their emphasis on producing timely data
at minimum cost, a sample must be obtained which will
provide coverage of a su fficien tly large segment of the
universe to provide reasonably reliable estim ates that
can be published promptly and regularly. The present
sample meets these sp ecifica tion s for most industries.
With its use, the BLS is able to produce preliminary e s ­
timates each month for many industries and for many
geographic levels within a few w eeks after reports are
mailed by respondents, and at a somewhat later date,
statistics in considerably greater industrial detail. The
tendency of such a sample to produce biased estimates
of the level of earnings for certain industries is coun­
teracted by the stratified estimating procedure described
under ^Estimating Methods.”

Data for all months between the previous bench­
mark and the month in which the adjusted series is pub­
lished are therefore subject to revision . To provide users
o f the data with a convenient reference source for the
revised data, the BLS publishes as soon as possib le
after each benchmark revision a summary volume of em­
ployment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics.

Coverage
The BLS sample of establishm ent employment and
payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in the
field of socia l statistics. The table that follow s shows
the approximate proportion of total employment in each
industry division covered by the group of establishments
furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for
individual industries within the division may vary from
the proportions shown.

Reliability of the Employment Estimate
One measure of the reliability of an employment
estimate projected from a benchmark is the amount by
which it differs from the new benchmark at the next ad­

For some detailed industries, the relative size of
the correction to benchmarks is somewhat greater than
is indicated for the major industry d ivision s in the pre­
ceding table.

The high degree of reliability o f BLS estim ates is
due to the relatively large percentage of the employment
universe covered by the sample, the frequent adjustments
o f employment estim ates to benchmark le v e ls, and the
use o f special techniques, such as stratification by size
and/or region.
D ifferences between the benchmarks and the esti­
mates, as w ell as the sampling and response errors, re­
sult from changes in the industrial cla ssifica tion of
individual establishm ents (resulting from changes in their
product), which are not reflected in the lev els of esti­
mates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks.
At more detailed industry le v e ls , particularly within manu­
facturing, changes in cla ssifica tion are the major cause
of benchmark adjustments; however, it becom es of less
importance at broader aggregations of industries. An­
other cause of differences, generally minor, between
the estimates and the benchmark arises from improve­
ments in the quality of benchmark data.

Seasonal Adjustment
seasonal movements in the series. However, in evalu­
ating deviations from the seasonal pattern—that is,
changes in a seasonally adjusted series—it is important
to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approxima­
tion based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted es­

Many econom ic sta tistics reflect a regularly recur­
ring seasonal movement which can be estimated on the
basis of past experience. By eliminating that part of the
change which can be ascribed to usual seasonal varia­
tion, it is p ossib le to observe the cyclical and other non­




629

timates have a broader margin of p ossib le error than the
original data on which they are based, since they a r e .
su bject not only to sampling and other errors but, in ad­
dition, are affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal
adjustment p rocess its e lf. Seasonally adjusted series '
for establishm ent data are published regularly in Employ­

throughout the country and is based on the activity or
status reported for the calendar week including the 12th
of the month. These data are published monthly in Em»
ployment and Earnings, and some of the significant fig­
ures are published in the Monthly Report on the Labor

ment and Earning S
o

F orce.

The seasonal adjustment method used for these
series is an adaptation o f the standard ratio-to-moving
average method, with a provision for "m ovingw adjust­
ment factors to take account o f changing season al pat­
terns.
A detailed description and illustration o f the
ba sic method was published in the August I960 Monthly
Labor R eview , and a revised version is described in the
1962 Report of the President’ s Committee to Appraise
Employment and Unemployment S tatistics, Measuring
Employment and Unemployment, A p p e n d i x G, "The
Bureau of Labor Statistics Seasonal Factor Method,* .

Data from payroll reports and household inter­
views differ from each other because of differences in
definition and coverage, sources of information, methods
of c o lle ctio n , and estimating procedures. Sampling var­
iability and response errors are additional reasons for
d iscrepa n cies.
The factors which have a differential
effect on lev els and trends of the two series are des­
cribed as follow s;

For establishm ent data, the season ally adjusted
series on weekly hours and labor turnover rates for in­
dustry groupings are computed by applying factors di­
rectly to the correspondingunadjusted series, but sea son ­
ally adjusted employment totals for all em ployees and
production workers by industry d ivision s are obtained by
summing the seasonally adjusted data which are pub­
lish ed for component industries. The factors currently in
use are available upon request.

Coverage.
The household survey definition of
employment com prises wage and salary workers (in clud­
ing dom estics and other private household workers), s e lfemployed persons, and unpaid workers who worked 15
hours or more during the survey week in family-operated
enterprises. Employment in both farm and nonfarm indus­
tries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage
and salary em ployees on the payrolls of nonfarm estab­
lishments.
Multiple jobholding . The household approach pro­
vides information on the work status of the population
without duplication since each person is c la s sifie d as
em ployed,unem ployed,or notin the labor force. Employed
persons holding more than one job are counted only on ce,
and are c la s s ifie d according to the job at which they
worked the greatest number of hours during the survey
w eek, In the figures based on establishm ent records,
persons who worked in more than one establishment dur­
ing the reporting period are counted each time their names
appear on payrolls.

The season ally adjusted data for Federal Govern­
ment are based on a series which excludes the Christmas
temporary help employed by the P ost O ffice Department
in Decem ber. The employment of these workers con sti­
tutes the only significant seasonal change in Federal
Government employment during the winter months and the
precise number of such workers employed in any year is
shown in this bulletin. Furthermore, the volume of such
employment may change substantially from year to year
because o f administrative d ecision s by the P ost O ffice
Department. Hence, it was considered desirable to ex­
clude this group from the data upon which the season ally
adjusted series is based.

Unpaid absen ces from job s. The household survey
includes among the employed all persons who had jobs
but were not at work during the survey w eek—that is,
were not working or looking for work but had jobs from
which they were temporarily absent because of illn ess,
bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or be­
cause they were taking time off for various other reasons,
whether or not they were paid by their employers for the
time off. In the figures based on payroll reports, persons
on paid sick leave, paid vacation, or paid holiday are
included, but not those on leave without pay for the
entire payroll period.

COM PARABILITY O F DATA WITH OTH ER SER IES
Current Population Survey
Data based on household interviews are obtained
from a sample survey of the population. The survey is
conducted e&ch month by the Bureau of the Census for
the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides a compre­
hensive measure of the labor force, i.e ., the total number
of persons 14 years of age and over who are employed or
unemployed.
It also provides data on their personal and
econom ic characteristics such as age, sex , colo r, marital
status, occu pation s, hours of work, and duration of unem­
ployment.
The information is c o lle c te d by trained inter­
viewers from a sample of about 3 5,000 households

Hours of Work
The household s u r v e y measures hours actually
worked,whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid
for by em ployers.
In the household survey data, all
persons with a job but not at work are excluded from the
hours distributions and the computations of average hours.
In the payroll survey, em ployees 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.

County Business Patterns
Data in County Business Patterns, published jointly
by the U.S. Departments of Commerce and Health, Educa­
tion, and Welfare, differ from BLS establishment statis­
tics in the treatment of central administrative o ffice s
and auxiliary units. D ifferences may also arise because
of industrial c la s s ifica tio n and reporting practices. In
addition, CBP excludes interstate railroads and govern­
ment, and coverage is incomplete for some of the non­
profit a ctiv ities.

Employment Covered by State Unemployment
Insurance Programs
Not all nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered
by the unemployment insurance programs. A ll workers
in certain a ctiv ities, such as interstate railroads, are
excluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries




6 31

are also excluded in 32 States. In general, these are
establishm ents with less than four em ployees.

Statistics on Manufactures and Business,
Bureau of the Census
BLS establishment statistics on employment differ
from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the
Census from its censuses or annual sample surveys of
manufacturing establishments and the censuses of busi­
ness establishm ents. The major reasons for some non­
comparability are different treatment of business units
considered parts of an establishm ent, such as central
administrative o ffic e s and auxiliary units, the industrial
cla ssifica tion of establishm ents, and different reporting
patterns by multiunit companies. There are also differ­
en ces in the scope of the industries covered, e .g ., the
Census of Business excludes contract construction, pro­
fession a l se rv ice s , public utilities, and financial estab­
lishments, whereas these are included in BLS sta tistics.
