This bulletin presents revised monthly and annual average data on national establishment-based employment, hours, and earnings by detailed industry classified in
accordance with the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual (SIC). The
data are obtained from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program, a Federal-State cooperative endeavor in which data are collected monthly from the payroll records of a sample of nonfarm business establishments. The sample includes
about 390,000 establishments employing over 47 million wage and salary workers.
The major technical characteristics of the CES program, such as collection, concepts, estimating techniques, and seasonal adjustment methods, as well as comparisons with other series are described fully in the appendix following the tables.
Effective with the publication of data for May 1996, all establishment-based series on nonfarm payroll employment, hours, and earnings were adjusted to March
1995 benchmarks—comprehensive counts of employment based primarily on unemployment insurance reports filed by employers with State employment security
agencies. The incorporation of the new benchmarks affected all unadjusted data
from April 1994. Coincident with the benchmark adjustments, BLS introduced the
X-12 ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average) procedure developed
by the Bureau of the Census to seasonally adjust national establishment-based series. This new procedure controls for the effect of varying survey intervals (also
known as the 4- versus S-week effect), thereby providing improved measurement of
over-the-month changes and underlying economic trends. All seasonally adjusted
series were revised back to January 1988.
Additional information on the revisions associated with the new benchmarks appears in "BLS Establishment Estimates Revised to Incorporate March 1995 Benchmarks" in the June 1996 issue of Employment and Earnings.
This bulletin presents unadjusted and seasonally adjusted datafromJanuary 1988.
All series end with February 1996, the last month of final published estimates prior




to the benchmark revisions.
This bulletin supplants BLS Bulletin 2465, and when combined with BLS Bulletin 2445, Employment, Hours, and Earnings, United States, 1909-94, comprises a
complete history of all published series derivedfromthe establishment survey. Most
of the data presented in this bulletin are supplemented on a current basis, beginning
with the June 1996 issue, by the monthly publication Employment and Earnings,
available by subscription from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government
Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. In addition, published series in the form of
magnetic tapes and personal computer diskettes are available to interested data users
on a cost-for-service basis. Inquiries concerning the tapes should be addressed to the
Automatic Data Processing Support Staff, Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2 Massachusetts Avenue, NE., Room G415, Washington, DC 20212-0001; those concerning diskettes should be addressed to the Division of Monthly Industry Employment Statistics, Room 4860 of the same address.
These data also are available from LABSTAT, the Bureau's public database, on
the INTERNET. INTERNET users should use Anonymous FTP to access BLS data
at "http://stat.bls.gov.M
This bulletin was prepared under the direction of Patricia M. Getz, a supervisory

division. Data were processed in the Division of Federal/State Monthly Surveys.

Introduction

This bulletin presents revised monthly and annual average data on national establishment-based employment, hours, and earnings by detailed industry based on the
1987 SIC structure.
Included are monthly and annual average employment for all employees (including government); women employees; production workers in mining and manufacturing; construction workers in construction; and nonsupervisory workers in transportation and public utilities; wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and real
estate; and services. Also shown for the private nonfarm industries are average
weekly hours and average hourly and weekly earnings in current dollars. Constant
(1982) dollar earnings are shown for the aggregates, total private nonfarm, and the
goods- and service-producing sectors. Average weekly overtime hours are presented
for selected manufacturing series.




Also presented are special series for selected industries. These series include
indexes of aggregate weekly hours and payrolls related to 1982 as the base year;
diffusion indexes of employment change for the total private sector and for manufacturing industries; average hourly earnings, excluding and including lump-sum
payments, for selected aerospace industries; and average hourly earnings, excluding
overtime, for selected manufacturing industries.
In addition, historical seasonally adjusted series through February 1996 are shown
for over 200 of the employment, hours, and earnings series described above.
Appendix A describes the major technical characteristics of the establishment survey, such as collection, concepts, estimating techniques, and seasonal adjustment
methods, as well as comparisons with other series. Appendix B provides information on the availability of published series on national establishment-based employment, hours, and earnings.
