Caution
This is the first historical volume based on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual.
Previously published series, based on the 1967 SIC Manual, are not comparable to the series shown in
this bulletin.
Periodically, the Bureau adjusts the industry employment series to a recent benchmark to improve its
accuracy. These adjustments also may affect the hours, earnings, and labor turnover series because
employment levels are used as weights. Therefore, all the industry statistics in this book for periods after
March 1977, the present benchmark date, are subject to revision. Future editions of the present volume
are planned for issue when the series are adjusted to new benchmark levels.

This volume is the 12th comprehensive data book on national
statistics to be released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
since 1961. It replaces Employment and Earnings, United States,
1909-75 (BLS Bulletin 1312-10), issued in 1976. This book is the first
historical volume based on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classifica­
tion Manual, and the first volume that contains seasonally adjusted
data on women employees.
Bulletin 1312-11, as did its 11 predecessor volumes, presents
detailed industry statistics on the Nation’s nonagricultural work
force. Included are monthly and annual averages on employment for
all employees and women employees; and for production workers in
manufacturing and mining, construction workers in construction, and
nonsupervisory workers in the remaining private nonagricultural
industries. Also shown for private nonagricultural industries are
average weekly and hourly earnings and average weekly hours.
Average weekly overtime hours and labor turnover rates are given for
selected manufacturing industries. Labor turnover rates are available
for some mining and communication industries. Seasonally adjusted
data are presented for a number of these series as well as indexes of
aggregate weekly hours and payrolls. Tables on spendable average
weekly earnings, and average hourly earnings, excluding overtime,
are also provided.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has discontinued the collection of
labor turnover data by sex. To provide the user with all available
historical data, rates for men and women are shown through 1968 for
those industries for which data were published regularly. Consistent
with publication practices, rates are provided for the first month of
each quarter (January, April, July, and October).
The major technical characteristics of the payroll employment
statistics 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
main body of statistical tables.




Collection of data
Each month, a representative panel of industrial, commercial, and
government establishments, employing collectively about 30 million
workers, voluntarily submits information from payroll records to the
State agencies participating in the Current Employment Statistics
Program. After extracting data necessary for the preparation of State
and area estimates on employment, hours, and earnings, these agen­
cies forward the reports to the BLS (Washington Office) for use in the
development of national estimates. This program is conducted jointly
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Employment and Training Ad­
ministration, and State employment security agencies in the District
of Columbia and most States; in a few States, the cooperating State
agency is the State Department of Labor.
Labor turnover statistics, by industry, are also based on data
voluntarily supplied by employers. The State agency in the Labor
Turnover Statistics Program has the same responsibilities as in the
Current Employment Statistics Program. In most States and the Dis­
trict of Columbia, the program is operated by State employment
security agencies in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics
and the Employment and Training Administration.
Industrial classification
The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system is used to
achieve uniformity and comparability in the presentation of industry
data as well as to describe structural changes that occur in a
dynamic economy. The industry statistics in this volume are based on
the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual published
by the Office of Management and Budget. Previously, the series had
conformed to the 1967 Standard Industrial Classification Manual.
Conversion to the 1972 SIC system has resulted in significant shifts

of activities from one industry to another, among groups within an in­
dustry division, and also between divisions. Although many
classification changes were made, some industries have identical
definitions under the old and new classification systems.
The new classification system is the culmination of several years
of work and serves as a guide for the first major industry reclassifica­
tion since 1957. (A minor revision was introduced in 1967.) The
Bureau of Labor Statistics participated in the initial development of
the new SIC manual and continues to work with the Office of Federal
Statistical Policy and Standards of the Department of Commerce, and
other agencies in seeking to improve the SIC system. Formerly, the
statistical policy function was assigned to the Statistical Policy Divi­
sion of the Office of Management and Budget.
The new classification system represents a significant change
from that mandated in the 1967 Standard Industrial Classification
Manual upon which previously published data were based. One of the
most significant changes introduced by the 1972 SIC Manual is the
treatment of government. The 1972 coding structure no longer
recognizes government as a separate industry division. However, in
order to maintain continuity with previously published statistics for
government, the Bureau and cooperating State agencies have in­
troduced an ownership classification as a suffix to the industry code.
This ownership classification permits continuation of historical
government data.
Within the following major divisions there are a number of substan­
tive classification changes:
1. Construction—Building construction is divided into residential
and nonresidential categories and now includes operative builders
(transferred from finance, insurance, and real estate).
2. Manufacturing—Ordnance has been discontinued and its com­
ponents have been spread among the other durable goods indus­
tries—particularly transportation equipment, fabricated metals, and
instruments.
3. Trade—Wholesale trade classifications now distinguish be­
tween durable and nondurable goods. Some former retail activities
have been transferred to wholesale trade.
4. Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate—In addition to the removal
of operative builders to the construction division, two small indus­
tries—credit card services and financial leasing of vehicles—have
been transferred from services to finance.




The remaining divisions have had no major changes that cross
over divisional lines. However, a thorough review of the products and
activities of individual establishments revealed serious deficiencies
in previous industrial classificatio n s. C orrection of these
misclassifications is the major cause of change between the 1967
and 1972 SIC employment totals at the division level.
Beginning in January 1972, the BLS retabulated each one of the
165,000 monthly reports on which the employment and earnings
series in this volume are based, after these reports were recoded to
conform to the 1972 SIC. For the period prior to January 1972, the
series of statistics based on the prior classification system were
used in various ways to construct historical data conforming to the
1972 classification system. This was more feasible where there were
no differences, or only minor conceptual differences, between the
new and old classification schemes. Special attention was focused
on series for industry divisions, subdivisions, and major groups in
manufacturing because of the wide interest in these data. Replace­
ment series on the new basis were constructed as far back as techni­
cally feasible, although there may be significant conceptual
differences. For many series, this was not possible and data do not
exist prior to 1972.
Benchmark adjustments
Periodically, the BLS adjusts its industry employment series to
more recent benchmarks (comprehensive counts of employment) to
correct for sampling variability and for changes in industrial activity
of establishments. In this volume, data adjusted to March 1977 levels
are shown for the first time and are not necessarily comparable to
those published in Employment and Earnings before the October
1978 issue, and the Monthly Labor Reviewbeiore the November 1978
issue.
In order to develop time series based on the 1972 SIC, it was
necessary to construct benchmarks for March 1973, March 1975,
March 1976, and March 1977 using the 1972 classification system.
Sample data, also reclassified to the 1972 SIC, were then used to
determine monthly estimates between each benchmark period. All
data are now adjusted to the latest benchmark available—March
1977—and are subject to revision from that point forward with the ad­
vent of the next benchmark scheduled for publication in late 1979.

In addition to the conceptual changes brought about by the con­
version to the 1972 SIC, BLS took the opportunity to analyze and
revise both the stratification patterns and sampling requirements for
the new data. Generally, this resulted in a much more detailed indus­
try breakout than was available with the prior classification system—
particularly in the service-producing industries.
Seasonally adjusted data have been revised back to the beginning
of each reconstructed series. For a detailed account of the
benchmark adjustment and SIC conversion, see the October 1978
issue of Employment and Earnings. Reprints are available upon re­
quest (as long as the supply lasts) from the BLS in Washington or any
of its regional offices, which are listed on the inside back cover of
this bulletin.

Bulletin 1370-13), provides similar information for all States, the Dis­
trict of Columbia, and 240 areas. The bulletin contains annual
averages for total employment, weekly earnings, weekly hours, and
hourly earnings on the same basis as the national data from the begin­
ning date of each series through 1978. Data for all the industries cur­
rently published by each cooperating State agency also are pre­
sented in the bulletin.

Related State and area statistics

Beginning with the October 1978 issue, current statistics com­
parable with the figures shown in this book are provided each month
in Employment and Earnings. (For details on ordering, see the inside
front cover of this bulletin.)

Technical Note
This technical note describes the method of collection, concepts,
scope, and estimating methods used in the preparation of the
employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover series shown in this
volume.

COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage and salary
employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonagricultural
establishments, by industry and geographic location.

1219-Monthly Report on Labor Turnover. The collecting agency
returns the schedule to the respondent each month so that the next
month’s data can be entered on the space allotted for that month. This
“shuttle” procedure assures maximum comparability and accuracy of
reporting, since the respondent can see the figures that have been
reported for previous months.
Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the total number of
workers, both full- and part-time, on the payrolls of nonagricultural
establishments and, for most industries, payroll and hours of produc­
tion and related workers or nonsupervisory workers for the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month. Form DL 1219 provides
for the collection of information on the total number of accessions
and separations, by type, during the calendar month.

Federal-State cooperation
As a result of cooperative arrangements between the State agen­
cies and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, respondents need to fill out
only one employment or labor turnover reporting form, which is then
used for national, State, and area estimates. This eliminates duplicate
reporting on the part of respondents and, together with the use of
identical techniques at the national and State levels, insures max­
imum comparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments and examine
the returns for consistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States
use the information to prepare State and area series and then send
the establishment data to the BLS (Washington Office) for use in pre­
paring the national series.

CONCEPTS

Industrial classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and Form DL 1219 are
classified into industries on the basis of their principal product or ac^
tivity determined from information on annual sales volume. This infor­
mation is collected each year on a supplement to the monthly 790 or
1219 report. For an establishment making more than one product or
engaging in more than one activity, the entire employment of the
establishment is included under the industry indicated by the prin­
cipal product or activity.
All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings, and labor
turnover series are classified according to the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual, 1972, Office of Management and Budget.

Shuttle schedules
Two types of data collection schedules are used: Form BLS
790-Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours; and Form DL




942

Industry employment
Employment data, except those for employees of the Federal
Government, refer to persons on establishment payrolls who
received pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th of
the month. For Federal Government establishments, employment
figures represent the number of persons who occupied positions on
the last day of the calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted if
they performed any service during the month.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid volunteer
or family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers in house­
holds. Salaried officers of corporations are included. Government
employment covers only civilian employees; military personnel are
excluded. Employees of the Central Intelligence and National
Security Agencies are also excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sick leave
(when pay is received directly from the firm), on paid holiday or paid
vacation, or who work during a part of the pay period even though
they are unemployed or on strike during the rest of the period, are
counted as employed. Not counted as employed are persons who are
laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike for the entire period, or who
are hired but have not been paid during the period.
Industry hours and earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payrolls and
hours for production and related workers in manufacturing and min­
ing, construction workers in construction, and nonsupervisory
employees in the remaining private nonagricultural components.
These terms are defined below. When the pay period reported is
longer than 1 week, the figures are converted to a weekly basis.
Production and related workers include working supervisors and
all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders and trainees)
engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiv­
ing, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance,
repair, janitorial and guard services, product development, auxiliary
production for a plant’s own use (e.g., power plant), and recordkeep­
ing and other services closely associated with the above production
operations.
Construction workers include the following employees in the con­
struction division: Working supervisors, qualified craft workers,




mechanics, apprentices, laborers, etc., whether working at the site of
construction or in shops or yards, at jobs ordinarily performed by
members of the construction trades (such as precutting and
preassembling).
Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not above the
working supervisory level) such as office and clerical workers,
repairers, salespersons, operators, drivers, physicians, lawyers, ac­
countants, nurses, social workers, teachers, research aides, drafters,
photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant workers, custodial
workers, attendants, line installers, 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, con­
struction, or nonsupervisory workers who received pay for any part
of the pay period which includes the 12th of the month. The payroll is
reported before deductions of any kind, e.g., for old-age and
unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding taxes, bonds,
or union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations,
and sick leave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and
paid regularly each pay period), other pay not earned in the pay
period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), tips, and the value of free rent,
fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded. Moreover, “fringe
benefits” (such as health and other types of insurance, contributions
to retirement, etc., paid by the employer) are also excluded.
Hours cover hours paid for, during the pay period which includes
the 12th of the month, for production, construction, or nonsupervisory
workers. The hours include hours paid for holidays and vacations,
and for sick leave when pay is received directly from the firm.
Overtime hours cover hours worked by production or related
workers for which overtime premiums were paid because the hours
exceeded the number of hours of either the straight-time workday or
the workweek during the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. Weekend and holiday hours are included only if overtime pre­
miums were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incen­
tive, or other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.
Gross average hourly and weekly 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 highpaid and low-paid work and changes in workers’ earnings in in­
dividual 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 amounts stipulated for a given unit of work or time. The earnings
series does not measure the level of total labor costs on the part of
the employer since the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses,
retroactive items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes
paid by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered
under the production worker, construction worker, or nonsupervisory
employee definitions.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying
average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore, weekly
earnings are affected not only by changes in gross average hourly
earnings but also by changes in the length of the workweek. In addi­
tion, monthly variations in such factors as 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.
Long-term trends of gross average weekly earnings can be
affected by structural changes in the makeup of the work force. For
example, persistent long-term increases in the proportion of parttime workers in retail trade and many of the service industries has
reduced average workweeks in these industries and has affected the
average weekly earnings series.

premiums are paid. If an employee were to work on a paid holiday at
regular rates, receiving as total compensation holiday pay plus
straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no overtime hours would
be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, gross
weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the
same direction from month to month; for example, overtime premiums
may be paid for hours exceeding the straight-time workday although
less than a full week is worked. Diverse trends at the industry-group
level also may be caused by a marked change in gross hours for a
component industry where little or no overtime was worked in both
the previous and current months. In addition, such factors as stop­
pages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same in­
fluence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
Hours and earnings for total private nonagricultural industries
This series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions except
government. The principal source of payroll data is Form BLS 790.
Secondary source material such as Employment and Wages (Bureau
of Labor Statistics), County Business Patterns (Bureau of the Cen­
sus), and special studies by the National Council of Churches supple­
ment data for certain industry groups within the services’ division.
For a technical description of this series, see the article, “Hours
and Earnings of Workers in Private Nonagricultural Industries,”
published in the May 1967 issue of Employment and Earnings and
Monthly Report on the Labor Force.

Average weekly hours

Railroad hours and earnings

The workweek information relates to the average hours for which
pay was received and is different from standard or scheduled hours.
Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and
stoppages cause average weekly hours to be lower than scheduled
hours of work for an establishment. Group averages further reflect
changes in the workweek of component industries.

The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching and terminal
companies) are based on monthly data summarized in the M-300
report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate to all
employees except executives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC
Group I), who received pay during the month. Gross average hourly
earnings are computed by dividing total compensation by total hours
paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing the total
number of hours paid for, converted to a weekly basis, by the number
of employees, as defined above. Gross average weekly earnings are
derived by multiplying average weekly hours by average hourly earn­
ings.

Average overtime hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the gross average
weekly hours which exceeds regular hours and for which overtime

Spendable average weekly earnings

Average hourly earnings excluding overtime

Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are ob­
tained by deducting from the gross average weekly earnings of all
production and nonsupervisory workers estimated Federal social
security and income taxes for a worker who earned the average
amount. The amount of income tax liability depends on the number of
dependents supported by the worker and his or her marital status, as
well as on the worker’s gross income. To reflect these variables, the
Bureau calculates two sets of spendable earnings series based on
the assumptions that the worker earned the gross average weekly
earnings and was taxed at the rates applicable to either (1) a worker
with no dependents, or (2) a married worker with three dependents
who files a joint return. The computations are based on gross
average weekly earnings for all production or nonsupervisory
workers in the industry division excluding other income and income
earned by other family members.
The series reflects the spendable earnings of only those workers,
with no dependents or three dependents, whose gross weekly pay
approximates the average earnings indicated for all production and
nonsupervisory workers. It does not reflect, for example, the average
earnings of all workers with three dependents; such workers in fact
have higher average gross earnings than workers with no de­
pendents.
Since part-time as well as full-time workers are included, and
since the proportion of part-time workers has been rising in some in­
dustries, the series understates the increase in earnings for full-time
workers. As noted, “fringe benefits” are not included in the earnings.
For a more complete discussion of the uses and limitations of these
series, see the article by Paul M. Schwab, “Two Measures of
Purchasing Power Contrasted,” in the Monthly Labor Review for April
1971. Reprints of this article are available from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
“Real” earnings, or earnings in constant dollars, are computed by
dividing the earinings averages for the current month by the Consumer
Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W),
and then multiplying by 100. “Real” earnings for months prior to Janu­
ary 1978 are deflated by the unrevised CPI-W, whereas those for
January 1978 forward are deflated by the revised CPI-W. This is done
for gross average weekly earnings and for spendable average weekly
earnings. The level of earnings is thus adjusted for changes in the
purchasing power of the dollar since the base period (1967).

Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay are
computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll for the in­
dustry group by the sum of total production-worker hours and onehalf of total overtime hours. Before January 1956, these data were
based on the application of adjustment factors to gross average
hourly earnings (as described in the Monthly Labor Review, May
1950, pp. 5 3 7 -5 4 0 ). Both methods eliminate only the earnings due to
overtime paid for at 1 -1 /2 times the straight-time rates. No adjust­
ment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday
work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and one-half.




Indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and hours are prepared
by dividing the current month’s aggregate by the monthly average for
1967. The hour aggregates are the product of average weekly hours
and production-worker employment, and the payroll aggregates are
the product of hour aggregates and average hourly earnings. At all
higher levels of aggregation, hour and payroll aggregates are the
sum of the component aggregates.
Labor turnover
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and salary workers
into and out of employed status with respect to individual establish­
ments. This movement, which relates to a calendar month, is divided
into two broad types: Accessions (new hires and rehires) and separa­
tions (terminations of employment initiated by either employer or
employee). Each type of action is cumulated for a calendar month and
expressed as a rate per 100 employees. The data relate to all
employees, whether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, in­
cluding executive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and pro­
duction workers. Transfers to another establishment of the company
are included, beginning with January 1959.
Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary addi­
tions to the employment roll, including both new and rehired
employees.
New hires are temporary or permanent additions to the employ­
ment roll of persons who have never before been employed in the

establishment (except employees transferring from another
establishment of the same company) or of former employees not
recalled by the employer.
Recalls are permanent or temporary additions to the employment
roll of persons specifically recalled to a job in the same establish­
ment of the company following a period of layoff lasting more than 7
consecutive days. (The collection of recalls, as a separate item,
began January 1976.)
Other accessions are all additions to the employment roll whiph
are not classified as new hires or recalls. These include transfers
from other establishments of the company and former employe,es
returning from military leave or other absences without pay who have
been counted as separations. Data on other accessions are not
published separately but are included in total accessions.
Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar
month and are classified according to cause: Quits, layoffs, and other
separations, as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by employees,
failure to report after being hired (if counted as new hires previously),
and unauthorized absences, if on the last day of the month the person
has been absent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected to last
more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by the employer
without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately but are in­
cluded in total separations, are terminations of employment because
of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement, transfers to
another establishment of the company, and entrance into the Armed
Forces for a period expected to last more than 30 consecutive calen­
dar days.
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing in­
dustries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the
changes shown in the Bureau’s employment series for the following
reasons: (1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire
calendar month, whereas the employment reports refer to the pay
period which includes the 12th of the month; and (2) employees on
strike are not counted as turnover actions although such employees
are excluded from the employment estimates if the work stoppage
extends through the report period.




ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimate employ­
ment for the industry statistics are (1) the use of the “link relative”
technique, which is a form of ratio estimation, (2) the use of size and
regional stratification, and (3) periodic adjustment of employment
levels to new benchmarks.
The “ link relative” technique
From a sample composed of establishments reporting for both the
previous and current months, the ratio of current-month employment
to that of the previous month is computed. This is called a “link rela­
tive.” The estimates of employment (all employees, including produc­
tion and nonproduction workers together) for the current month are
obtained by multiplying the estimates for the previous month by these
"link relatives.” In addition, small bias correction factors are applied
to selected employment estimates each month. The size of the bias
correction factors is determined from past experience. Other features
of the general procedures are summarized later in table F. Further
details are given in the BLS Handbook of Methods, Bulletin 1910
(1976), chapters 3 and 4. Reprints are available upon request.
Size and regional stratification
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishment
and/or by region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisoryworker data are used to weight the hours and earnings into broader
industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for an
employment, hours, or earnings series, as the term is used in table F,
may be a whole industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a size
stratum of a region within an industry.
Benchmark adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically with com­
prehensive counts of employment which provide “benchmarks” for
the various nonagricultural industries, and appropriate adjustments
are made as indicated. The industry estimates are currently projected

946

design for such industries provides for a complete census of the
larger establishments with only a few chosen from among the smaller
establishments or none at all if the concentration of employment is
great enough. On the other hand, in an industry in which a large pro­
portion of total employment is in small establishments, the sample
design calls for inclusion of all large establishments and also for a
substantial number of the smaller ones. Many industries in the trade
and services divisions fall into this category. To keep the sample to a
size which can be handled by available resources, it is necessary to
design samples for these industries with a smaller proportion of
universe employment than is the case for most manufacturing indus­
tries. Since individual establishments in these nonmanufacturing divi­
sions generally show less fluctuation from regular cyclical or
seasonal patterns than do establishments in manufacturing indus­
tries, these smaller samples (in terms of employment) generally pro­
duce reliable estimates.
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
sufficiently large segment of the universe to provide reasonably
reliable estimates that can be published promptly and regularly. The
present sample meets these specifications for most industries. With
its use, the BLS is able to produce preliminary estimates each month
for many industries and for many geographic levels within a few
weeks after reports are mailed by respondents and, at a somewhat
later date, statistics in considerably greater industrial detail. The ten­
dency of such a sample to produce biased estimates of the level of
earnings for certain industries is counteracted by the stratified
estimating procedure described under “Estimating Methods.”

from March 1977 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments are made
annually.
The primary sources of benchmark information are the employment
data by industry, compiled quarterly by State agencies from reports
of establishments covered under State unemployment insurance
laws. These tabulations cover about nine-tenths of the total nonfarm
employment in the United States. Benchmark data for the residual are
obtained from the records of the Social Security Administration, the
Interstate Commerce Commission, and a number of other agencies in
private industry or government.
The estimates for the benchmark month are compared with new
benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions are necessary, the
monthly series of estimates between benchmark periods are adjusted
at levels between the new benchmark and the preceding one, and the
new benchmark for each industry then is carried forward
progressively to the current month by use of the sample trends. Thus,
under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish the level of
employment; the sample is used to measure the month-to-month
changes in the level.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which the series
has been adjusted are therefore subject to revision. To provide users
of the data with a convenient reference source for the revised data,
the BLS publishes, as soon as possible after each benchmark revi­
sion, its summary volume of statistics on employment, hours, earn­
ings, and labor turnover.

THE SAMPLE
Design

Coverage
The sampling plan used in the current employment statistics
program is an optimum allocation design known as “sampling propor­
tionate to average size of establishment”. Under this type of design,
large establishments fall into the sample with certainty. The size of
the samples for the various industries is determined empirically on
the basis of experience and of cost consideration. In a manufacturing
industry in which a high proportion of total employment is concen­
trated in relatively few establishments, a large percentage of total
employment is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample




The BLS sample of establishment employment and payrolls is the
largest monthly sampling operation in the field of social statistics.
Table A shows the approximate proportion of total employment in
each industry division covered by the group of establishments fur­
nishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual indus­
tries within the division may vary from the proportions shown.
Table B shows the approximate coverage, in terms of employment,
of the labor turnover sample.

levels, particularly within manufacturing, changes in classification are
the major cause of benchmark adjustments. Another cause of
differences arises from improvements in the quality of the benchmark
data. Table C presents the average percent revisions (based on the
1967 SIC) of the six most recent benchmarks for major industry divi­
sions. Detailed descriptions of individual benchmark revisions are

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 (based on the 1967 SIC) for major industries are presented in
table C and for individual industries with the specified number of
employees in table D. The chances are about 2 out of 3 that the hours
and earnings estimates from the sample would differ by a smaller per­
centage than the relative error from the averages that would have
been obtained from a complete census.

Reliability off the employment estimates
The estimates derived from the establishment survey may differ
from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possible to
take a complete census using the same schedules and procedures.
The relatively large size of the BLS establishment sample assures a
high degree of accuracy. However, since the link relative technique
requires the use of the previous month’s estimate as the base in com­
puting the current month’s estimate, small sampling and response er­
rors may cumulate over several months. To remove this accumulated
error, the estimates are usually adjusted annually to new benchmarks.
In addition to the sampling and response errors, the benchmark revi­
sion adjusts the estimates for changes in the industrial classification
of individual establishments (resulting from changes in their product
which are not reflected in the levels of estimates until the data are ad­
justed to new benchmarks). In fact, at the more detailed industry




One measure of the reliability of ratio estimates is the root-meansquare error (RMSE). This measure is the standard deviation adjusted
for the bias in ratio estimates:
RMSE=V(Standard Deviation)2 + (Bias)2.
If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an estimate
from the sample would differ from its benchmark by less than the rootmean-square error. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the
difference would be less than twice the root-mean-square error.
948

Approximations of the root-mean-square errors (based on the ex­
perience of the last 6 years and the 1967 SIC) of differences between
final estimates and benchmarks are presented in table D.
Since the differences are those that have accumulated at the end of
12 monthly estimates, the amount of difference that accumulates in 1
month is much smaller, or approximately 1/12 of the amount indi­
cated. Customarily, benchmarks are done annually; however,
benchmarks were not done for 1975 and 1976 because the Bureau
was in the process of recoding to the 1972 SIC codes.
A comparison of the actual amounts of revisions made at the time
of the March 1977 benchmark adjustment is shown in table E.

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring seasonal
movement which can be estimated on the basis of past experience.
By eliminating that part of the change which can be ascribed to usual
seasonal variation, it is possible to observe the cyclical and other
nonseasonal movements in the series. However, in evaluating devia­
tions from the seasonal pattern—that is, changes in a seasonally ad­
justed series— it is important to note that seasonal adjustment is

merely an approximation based on past experience. Seasonally ad­
justed estimates have a broader margin of possible error than the
original data on which they are based, since they are subject not only
to sampling and other errors but, in addition, are affected by the un­
certainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself. The revised
seasonally adjusted series shown in this bulletin reflect the ex­
perience through May 1978. Current seasonally adjusted data are
published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment program used for these series is an adap­
tation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method. It provides for
"moving” adjustment factors to take account of changing seasonal
patterns. A detailed description of the method is given in the booklet,
The BLS Seasonal Factor Method (1966), which may be obtained from
the Bureau on request.
For establishment data, seasonally adjusted series for all
employees, women employees, production workers, hours, and earn­
ings, are computed using the BLS Seasonal Factor Method. Seasonal
adjustment factors are directly applied to the component levels.
Seasonally adjusted totals for most of these series are then 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, seasonally adjusted, by the seasonally ad­
justed revised Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers (revised CPI-W), and multiplying by 100. Indexes of
aggregate weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by
multiplying average weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by produc­
tion or nonsupervisory workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing by
the 1967 base. For total private, total goods-producing, total private
service-producing, trade, manufacturing, and durable and nondurable
goods industries, 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 1967 base.
The seasonally adjusted data for Federal Government are based
on a series which excludes the Christmas temporary help employed
by the Postal Service in December. The employment of these workers
constitutes the only significant seasonal change in Federal Govern­
ment employment during the winter months. Furthermore, the volume




of such employment may change substantially from year to year
because of administrative decisions by the Postal Service. Hence, it
was considered desirable to exclude this group from the data upon
which the seasonally adjusted series is based.
For labor turnover rates, seasonal adjustment factors are applied
directly to the component series. These series are then aggregated
to obtain total levels (total accessions and total separations). These
factors are derived by the Census X-11 Method using the trading day
option. As a result these series are adjusted for the number of times
each day of the week occurs in a given month, as well as for the
month of the year.

COMPARABILITY OF DATA WITH OTHER SERIES
Current Population Survey
Data based on household interviews are obtained from a sample
survey of the population. The survey is conducted each month by the
Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides
a comprehensive measure of the labor force, i.e., the total number of
persons 16 years of age and over who are employed or unemployed.
It also provides data on their personal and economic characteristics
such as age, sex, color, marital status, occupations, hours of work,
and duration of unemployment. The information is collected by
trained interviewers from a sample of about 56,000 households
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 Employment and Earnings.
Data from payroll reports and household interviews differ from
each other because of differences in definition and coverage,
sources of information, methods of collection, and estimating pro­
cedures. Sampling variability and response errors are additional
reasons for discrepancies. For a comprehensive discussion of these
differences, see Gloria P. Green’s article “Comparing Employment
Estimates from Household and Payroll Surveys,” Monthly Labor
Review, December 1969. Reprints of this article are available upon
request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Some specific factors which have a differential effect on levels and
trends of the two series are described as follows:

Coverage. The household survey definition of employment comprises
wage and salary workers (including domestics and other private
household workers), self-employed persons, and unpaid workers
who worked 15 hours or more during the survey week in family-oper­
ated enterprises. Employment in both agricultural and nonagricultural
industries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and sal­
ary employees on the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments.

employers. In the household survey data, all persons with a job but
not at work are excluded from the hours distributions and the com­
putations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees on paid
vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned
the number of hours for which they were paid during the reporting
period.
County Business Patterns

Population undercounting. The decennial census population under­
counts have a significant effect on the labor force and employment
estimates in the household survey, which is directly related to the
census of population. In particular, undercounting leads to a substan­
tial understatement of employment levels, introducing a major discre­
pancy when these data are related to other time series, including the
establishment employment figures. For a detailed discussion of this
problem, see the article, “Effects of the Census Undercount on Labor
Force Estimates,” by Denis F. Johnston and James R. Wetzel in the
March 1969 issue of the Monthly Labor Review.

Data in County Business Patterns, published by the Bureau of the
Census, differ from BLS establishment statistics in the treatment of
central administrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences also
may arise because of industrial classification and reporting prac­
tices. 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 nonagricultural wage and salary workers are covered by the
unemployment insurance programs. Beginning in January 1972,
coverage was expanded to include employees of small firms and
selected nonprofit activities which had not been covered previously.
However, certain activities, such as interstate railroads, parochial
schools, and churches are not covered by unemployment insurance
whereas these are included in BLS establishment statistics. Begin­
ning in January 1978, coverage was extended to include almost all
State and local government employees.

Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides information on
the work status of the population without duplication, since each per­
son is classified as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force.
Employed persons holding more than one job are counted only once,
and are classified according to the job at which they worked the
greatest number of hours during the survey week. In the figures based
on establishment records, persons who worked in more than one
establishment during the reporting period are counted each time their
names appear on payrolls.

Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the Census
Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey includes among
the employed all persons who had jobs but were not at work during
the survey week—that is, were not working but had jobs from which
they were temporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vaca­
tion, labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time off
for various other reasons, even if they were not paid by their
employers for the time off. Payroll reports include persons on leave
which is paid for by the company and exclude those on leave without
pay for the entire payroll period.

BLS establishment statistics on employment differ from employ­
ment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from its censuses or
annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments and the cen­
suses of business establishments. The major reasons for noncom­
parability are different treatment of business units considered parts
of an establishment, such as central administrative offices and auxili­
ary 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.

Hours of work. The household survey measures hours actually
worked, whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by
