1/ Estimates and indexes have been adjusted to levels indicated by data through
1946 made available by the Federal Security Agency. Hours and earnings were not
affected by this adjustment.
Source:
U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (6-48)
explanatory notes
Sec. A. Revisions of ffrrployment Estimates - I&e. employment estimates
shown in this report for.the.industry divisions (e.g., manufacturing, mining,
ate.) and industry groups (e.g.- iron and skoal, electrical machinery, ate.)
have been adjusted to levels indicated by bench-mark deta through 1946 and
supersede data shown in mimeographed releases dated prior to June 1948 and
in the Monthly Labor Review dated prior to July 1948.
Sec. B. Sources of Bench-Mark Data - The chief purpose of revisions
published in the April'1948 UECA.IL3B BEPQET, was to adjust the levels of
employment estimates to bench-mrk data through 1946. In preparing estimates
for private employment prior to 1939> the various industrial censuses taken
by the Bureau of the Census were used as sources of bench-mark data. Data
obtained from the Federal Security Agency are the main bases for -XSJ46 bench
marks. Bench marks for Stcte and lccal government are based on dfifca compiled
by the Bureau of the Census, while most of the data on Federal Government
employment is made available by the U. S. Civil Service Commission. The
Interstate Commerce Commission is the source for railroads, and tho U. S.
Maritime Commission for writer transportation.
Sec. C. Scope of Employment Revisions - Each of the industry divisions
except service was affected by the yec&nt revisions. Adjustments have been
made in the 20 major groups comprising the mfmufacturing industry division.
Estimates for the individual manufacturing Industries, formerly based on the
1939 Census of Manufactures, are nov being revised. As these revisions are
completed, they are;published in this report and indicated by appropriate foot
notes. Since the revised employment estimates ahovn in this report cover only
the current months, a set of sumory sheets presenting comparable figures from
January 1939 to date, by month, for each industry will be provided upon request.
.'Sec. D. How Employment Estimates Are Made - Estimates of changes in
the level of: employment are based on reports from a sample group of establish
ments, inasmuch as full coverage is prohibitively costly and time-consuming.
In using a. sample, it is essential that an accurate base be established from
which estimates may be carried forward. -This base or "bench mark" is either
a complete count or an estimate with a satisfactory degree of accuracy. When
a new bench mark becomes available, estimates prepared since, .tho last bench
mark are reviewed to determine if any adjustment of level is required. This
is the basic principle cf employment estimating used by the BLS. It yields a
satisfactory coarprord.se between s alow but highly accurate complete count on
the one hand, and a rapid but lass accurate sample count on the other.
Briefly, the Bureau of Labor Statistics computer employment estimates
•as follows: first, a bench laerk or level of employment is determined; second,
a sample of establishments is selected; -'and third, changes in employment in
dicated by this reporting sample ere applied to the bench n-irl? to determine
the monthly estimates of employment between bench-mark periods. For example,
if the latest complete cata on employment for an industry were 1*0,200 in
September 1945/ and if the industry has a reporting sample of 13 establishments
employing 23,200 workers in September and 23,800 in October, the October
estimate would be prepared us follows:
40;.200 X
= 41,240
- i -
In general, data showing month-to-month changes in employment re
flect the fluctuations shown by establishments reporting to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. However, the usual estimating method is inadequate in
the finance and service industries, which have a preponderance of small
establishments. A special sampling procedure has'been introduced, involv
ing the scientific selection of a sample of cities and of a representative
list of blocks in these cities. Data obtained from the establishments in.
these blocks yield substantially better estimates of month-to-month changes
in employment in the finance and service industries than would be obtained by
the use of the sampling procedure employed for other industries. For rail
roads and. the Federal Government, complete reports of employment are available.
Why Revisions are Necessary - Because reports are not immediately
available from new firms, they are frequently introduced into the' Bureau of
Labor Statistics sample after they have been in operation for some time.
This lapse of time produces a rather consistent understatement which becomes,
larger from year to year. It ia important, therefore, that estimates not be
allowed to go uncorrected for too long a period. The most recent revisions
correct for the downward bias that had accumulated in the nonmanufacturing
series beginning January 1945 and in the manufacturing series beginning
January 1946. Revisions in some industry divisions were made in order to
incorporate greater refinements in methodology and new source materials
that have become available.
Sec. E. Comparability With Other Types of Employment Data - The
Bureau of Labor Statistics employment estimates are based upon reports sub
mitted by cooperating establishments and therefore.differ from employment
information obtained by household interviews., such as the Monthly Report
of the Labor Force. The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates of employment
in nonagricultural establishments differ from the Monthly Report of the
Labor Force total nonagricultural employment estimates in several important
respects. For example: (l) The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates cover
all full- and part-time wage and salary workers in private nonagricultural
establishments who worked or received pay during the pay period ending
nearest the 15th of the month; in Federal establishments during the pay
period ending just before the first of the month; and in State and local
government, during the pay period ending on or just before the last of the
month. Persons who worked in more than one establishment during the report
ing period would be counted more than once; (2) Proprietors, self-employed
persons, domestic servants, and unpaid family workers are excluded.
Sec. F. Pay-Roll Indexes - Cooperating establishments are instructed
to report pay rolls of production or nonsupervisory workers prior to de
duction for old age and unemployment insurance, withholding taxes, bonds,
and union dues. Pay for sick leave, holidays, and vacations taken is
included. Respondents are instructed to exclude pay for vacations not
taken as well as cash estimates of any payments in kind. Bonuses, unless
earned and paid regularly each pay period, are also excluded.
The methodology for obtaining pay-roll estimates is similar to that
for employment estimates. Sample changes showing monthly movements are used
in projecting established bench markes to secure current pay-roll estimates.
These pay-roll estimates are converted into indexes, using the 1939 average
as a base.
- ii -
Sec. G. Source of Data •• Employment and pay-roll estimates are based
<?n reports from cooperating establishments. Excluding about 9,000 block- sample
returns, the approximate number of establishments, and workers covered, for
each of the industry divisions sire shown belor.

Sec. H. Coverage of Smploynent Estimates - The employment estimates
shown in tables 1, 2, 3, o, and j cover fill full- and part-tiiae wage end
salary workers who worked or received pay during the pay period ending nearest
the 15th of the month. Proprietors, self-employed'persons, domestic servants,
and personnel of the armed forces are excluded. The estimates and indexes
shown in tables 8 snd 10 refor to production and. related workers as defined
in the Glossary, page vi.
Sec. I. State Estimates - State estimates are prepared in cooperation
with various State Agencies as indicated below. The estimates for manufacturing
have been adjusted to recent data made available under the Federal Social
Security program. Since some states have adjusted to more recent bench-mark
data than others, and because varying methods of amputation are used,, tho
total of the state estimates differs from the national total (see tables 1 ond
2). Because of these recent revisions the state estimates for manufacturing
are not consistent with the unrevised data shown prior to June 1947 for total
employment in nonagricultural establishments, by state. Comparable series of
manufacturing estimates for each state, January 1943 to date; and also for
nonagricultural employment for selected states, through December 1946 are
available upon request to the cooperating State agency or the appropriate
Bureau of Labor Statistics regional office. Estimates of nonagricultural
employment, by state, for these States which are now publishing such estimates
are shown in table 6T These totals are consistent with the manufacturing
estimates in table 7* As nonagricultural'.estimates for additional States
become available, they will be shown in table 6.
