Employment Trends
JOB PICTURE IMPROVES DESPITE COflTINBED DURABLE GOODS DECLINE
Although employment continued
to drop in durable goods manufac
turing and related fields between
February and March, there were a
number of other indications that
the employment downtrend of recent
months was easing slightly. March
employment in nondurable goods
manufacturing was little changed
from the previous month, marking
the second consecutive month of
relative stability in this sector.
Over the month gains were made in
some nunmanuf acturing sectors where
strength has been shown throughout
the downturn of the past nine months.
In finance, service, and state and
local government, the March employ
ment figures marked all-time highs
for the month.
Unemployment as reported by the
Bureau of the Census, remained vir
tually unchanged over the month,
while the number of claimants for
unemployment insurance, according to
the Bureau of Employment Security,
showed & small but consistent decline
during March, marking a possible break
in the uptrend that began last Fall.
The number of nonfarm jobs in
March was 47.3 million, about
130,000 less than in February. At
this level, nonagricultural employ
ment was 1.4 million below the
corresponding month last year, but,
nevertheless, was the second
highest total recorded for March
in the postwar period. Both the
over-the-month and over-the-year
losses were due almost entirely
to the decline in durable goods
manufacturing, transportation
and mining.
MANUFACTURING EMPLOYMENT LOSSES
CENTERED IN BTTRARTJ1
. ftOOnS
The manufacturing employment
total— 15*9 million in March— was
about 160,000 lower than in
February. Nearly all of the de
cline was in durable goods indus
tries, which usually report in
creases at this time of year. All
but one of the durable goods
groups— ejtone, clay and glass
products— shoved some employment
loss over the month* The largest
reductions occurred in metals and
metal products industries, partic
ularly transportation equipment
and primary metals. Nondurable
goods employment remained vir
tually unchanged over the month,
as a seasonal pick-up in apparel
was offset by small reductions in
other industries.
Over the year manufacturing
employment fell 1-1/4 million.
However, it was only slightly
lower than the March levels of
1951 and 1952* About three-fourths
1
of the year*8 employment loss was in
durable goods, where all industry
groups showed some reductions*
Over-the-year declines of more than
100,000 were reported in primary
and fabricated metals, electrical
machinery, machinery, and trans
portation equipment* Despite these
losses employment levels in trans
portation equipment and electrical
machinery this March were the second
highest recorded for the month in the
postwar period.
Almost half of the 300*000 de
cline in nondurable goods employment
over the year occurred in textiles,
where the loss reflected both the
current downtrend and a long-ten*
employment decline. In the paper
and printing groups, employment in
March was at an all-time high for
the month*
NOWMANUFACTUhING INDUSTRIES SHOW
VARYING EMPLOYMENT TRENDS
Employment in transportation and
mining industries continued to de
cline between February and March,
largely as a result of the continued
falling off in manufacturing activity*
Most of the employment decrease in
wining was in the bituminous coal
industry* In transportation, the
over the year loss was about 190,000,
and mainly reflected layoffs of rail
road workers*
In contrast, other norunanufac
turing sectors showed continued
strength. The number of workers on
construction payrolls increased
slightly, over the month, and at 2*3
million was very close to previous
all-time peaks for the season*
Finance and service industries ex
panded seasonally, and March employ
ment levels in these sectors were
all-time highs for the month.
2
Total government employment
this March was higher than a year
ago, as continued expansion of State
and local governments outweighed
the curtailment of Federal govern
ment employment.
Retail trade employment this
March, at 7*5 million, was down
slightly from March 1953 levels.
However, a direct over-the-year
comparison cannot be made because
of the difference in the timing of
the Easter shopping seasons* Over
the month, trade employment remain
ed unchanged as the late Easter
apparently delayed the start of
the usual Spring upturn.
UNEMPLOYMENT RISE HALTED IN MARCH
Data from both the Bureau of
the Census and the Bureau of Em
ployment Security indicated that
the uptrend in unemployment leveled
off in March* The total number of
unemployed workers did not change
between early February and early
March, according to the Census
Bureau* s sample survey of house
holds. At 3*7 million in the week
ending March 13, the estimated un
employment level was about the
same as in the corresponding
February week, contrasting with
the sharp increases of preceding
months* Similarly, insured unem
ployment , as reported by the Bureau
of Employment Security, indicated
some improvement in the job situa
tion. Although the number of per
sons claiming unemployment benefits
was slightly higher in mid-March
than in mid-February, there was a
seasonal decline during March* By
the week ending March 27, the num
ber of insured unemployed, at
2,133,000, was SO,000 below the
level of the week ending March 6*
This marked the first break in the
unemployment claims uptrend which
began last Fall.
The improvement in the unen>ployment situation also was reflect
ed by the declining number of initial
claims for State unemployment bene
fits, which represent new unemploy
ment. During the first four weeks
of March these claias averaged
304,000, as compared to 324,000
for February. In the week ending
March 27, the number of new claims
filed was down to 293,000. In the
following week, there was an increase
to 339,000, but the rise largely
reflected administrative factors—
the start of a nev benefit year in
some states— rather than any rever
sal of the downtrend.
LAYOFFS DECLINED IH FEBRUARY
Like other measures, the
February data on labor turnover
gave some signs that the employment
decline was slackening. Employers*
reports on February layoffs showed
the first fall in the manuf ac turing
layoff rate since the beginning of
the employment downturn. The drop
was from 28 per 1000 employees in
January to 23 in February, Somewhat
more than the usual decrease recorded
between these months in the postwar
years. At the same time, the over
the month decline in hiring rates
was smaller than usual*
More than half the manufacturing
industry groups reported some decline
in layoffs between January and
February* In a number of these
industries— primary and fabricated
metals, transportation equipment,
food, tobacco, textiles, paper,
petroleum, and miscellaneous manu
facturing— the over-the-month drops
were the sharpest reported for this
time of year in recent years. Only
four industry groups— ordnance,
furniture, stone, clay and glass,
and instruments— showed increases
in layoffs between January and
February.
Manufacturing plants added workers
to their payrolls at a rate of 26
per 1000 in February* The slight
decline from the January level of
28 per 1000 was less than the de
crease usually experienced at this
season of the year in postwar per
iod* Marked increases in the rate
of hiring actually occurred between
January and February in the ord
nance, lumber, electrical machinery,
textiles, cheaiioals and petroleum
industries. However, for manufac
turing industries as a whole the
hiring irate in February was at a
postwar low for the season*
The rates at which factory
workers were quitting their jobs
remained comparatively low, re
flecting curtailed employment op
portunities* The quit rate, at
10 per 1000 employees, equalled
the postwar low for the month
reached in 1950. Factory quit
rates have been virtually un
changed since last December.

DURABLE GOODS PLANTS SHORTENED
HOURS
In nondurable goods manufac
turing, the average workweek re
mained unchanged at 38*8 hours be
tween February and March. However,
decreases in the metals and metal
products industries brought the
durable goods workweek down by
one-third hour over the month,
to 39*9 hours*
3
The factory workweek this March
was the lowest for the month in the
past four years. The drop from the
March 1953 level, when factory hours
were at a postwar high for the month,
was 1-3/4 hoars and was sharpest in
durable goods, where the scheduling
of overtime work had been prevalent*
Indexes of aggregate weekly
manhours of factory production workers
reflect the combined effects of
changes in employment and hours of
work. Over the year, the index for
all manufacturing has declined 13
percent from the record high of 115*2
of last March (1947-1949 average =
100.0). The March 1954 index of 102.1
was, however, still above the March
levels of 1949 and 1950.
Corresponding to the movement
of employment and weekly hours, the
sharpest decline in manhours has
occurred in durable goods manufac
turing* In this sector the over the
year drop was from 128.1 to 107*6.
The downtrend in nondurables has been
more moderate, with the index moving
from 99.8 in March 1953 to 91*3 in
March of this year*
While manhours worked in the
durable goods industries have con
tinued to fall in the first months
of 1954* the downtrend in soft goods
appeared to have halted* Between
January and February the nondurable
goods manhour index slightly rose
and remained unchanged between
February and March.
HOURLY EARKINGS HOLD STEADY. HtlT
WEEKLY PAY WAS DOWN SLIGHTLY
Hourly earnings of factory
workers continued to hold steadyover the month* The March average
for all manufacturing was $ 1.79,
unchanged from February. This
stability was shown by all industry
groups} the largest over the month
changes were 2 cents an hour.
Since last Fall, there has been
virtually no change in average
hourly pay as seme increases in
wage rates were balanced by losses
in overtime pay* As compared to
last March, however, hourly pay in
March 1954 vas 4 cents higher, as
a result of increases in early 1953•
Because of reductions in the
workweek, factory workers weekly
pay— averaging $70*53 in mid-March—
was 35 cents less than in the pre
vious month and $ 1.40 below year
ago levels* However, in chemicals,
petroleum and printing, where the
workweek was down only slightly,
weekly pay was up over the year by
$ 1*61 to $ 2*59.

APPENDIX
Section A - EMPLOYMENT
Purpose and Scope of the BLS Employment Statistics Progran
Employment statistics for nonfarm industries presented in this
monthly Report are part of the broad program of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics to provide timely, comprehensive; accurate, and detailed infor
mation for tiie use of businessmen, government officials, legislators, labor
unions, research workers, and the general public. Current employment statis
tics furnish a basic indicator of changes in economic activity in various
sectors of the economy and are widely used in following business develop
ments and in making decisions in fields of marketing, personnel, plant
location, and government policy. The BLS employment statistics program,
providing data used in making official indexes of production, productivity
and national income, forms an important part of the Federal statistical
system.
The BLS publishes monthly the national total of employees in
nonagricultural establishments, giving totals by eight major industry
divisions: manufacturing; mining; contract construction; transportation
and public utilities; wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and
real estate; service and miscellaneous; and goverrment* Series on ’
'all
employees" and "production and related workers”are presented for the
durable goods and nondurable goods subdivisions of manufacturing, 21 major
industry groups in manufacturing, 131 manufacturing sub-groups and also for
selected mining industries. "All employees”only are published for over 1*0
industry groups among the norm anufactur ing divisions. Statistics on the
number and proportion of women employees in manufacturing industries are
published quarterly. In addition, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes
monthly employment data by industry division for State and local areas,
compiled by cooperating State agencies.
Current national, State, and area statistics are published
monthly in the Employment and Payrolls Report. Employment data for 13
months are presented in the Current Statistics Section of each issue of the
Monthly Labor Review. Each of the series, from the earliest available period
to date, nay be obtained by writing to the BLS Division of Manpower and Em
ployment Statistics. Such requests should specify the industry series desired.
Similar information is available for States and areas. A detailed explanation
of the technique of preparing employment statistics will be sent upon request.

Definition of Qnplcryment
BLS employment statistics represent the number of persons employed
in establishments in nonagricultural industries in the continental United
States during a specified payroll period. Employment data for nongovern
mental establishments refer to persons who worked during, or received pay
for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the l$th of the month.
Current data for Federal Government establishments generally refer to per
sons who worked on, or received pay for, the last day of the monthj for
State and local government, persons who received pay for any part of the pay
period ending on, or immediately prior to, the last day of the month.
Bnployed persons include those who are working full- or part-time,
on a temporary or permanent basis. Persons on an establishment payroll who
are on paid sick-leave, paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a
part of a specified pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the
other part of the period are considered employed. Persons on the payroll of
more than one establishment during the pay period are counted each time
reported. Or* the other hand, persons who are laid off or are on leave with
out pay, who are on strike for the entire pay period, or who are hired but
do not report to work during the pay period are not considered employed.
Since proprietors, self-employed persons, and unpaid family workers do not
have the status of "employee," they are not covered by BLS reports. Fersons
Working as farm workers or as domestic workers in households are not within
the scope of data for nonagricultural establishments. Government employment
statistics refer to civilian employees only and hence exclude members of the
Armed Forces.
Beginning with January 1952, the data for Federal employment are
not strictly comparable with those for prior years, primarily as a result
of changes in definition. The following changes were made starting with
that month: (1) data refer to the last day of the month rather than the
first of the month; (2) employment of the Federal Reserve Banks and of the
mixed ownership banks of the Farm Credit Administration transferred from the
Federal total and the Executive Branch to the "Banks and Trust Companies"
group of the "Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate" division; (3) fourth-class
postmasters formerly included only in the table showing Federal civilian
employment, now included in all tables showing government series except for
States and areas; (ii) employment in the General Accounting Office and
Goverment Printing Office excluded from the Executive Branch and included
in the Legislative Branch; (5>) the "Defense agencies" category replaced by
one showing employment in the Department of Defense only.
Collection of Establishment Reports
The BLS, with the cooperation of State agencies, collects current
employment information for most industries by means of "shuttle" schedules
(BLS 790 Forms) mailed monthly to individual establishments. State agencies
mail most of the forms and when returned, examine them for consistency,
accuracy, and completeness. States use the information to prepare State and
area series and send the schedules to the BLS Division of Manpower and
Employment Statistics for use in preparing the national series. Each
questionnaire provides a line for the State agency to enter data for
December of the previous year, as well as lines for the cooperating
establishment to report for each month of the current calendar year.
The December data, copied from the completed previous year's foim, give
the reporter a means for canparison when reporting for January as an aid
to collection of consistent data. The sane form is returned each month
to the reporting establishment to be completed. Definitions of terms are
described in detail in the instructions on each form. This "shuttle"
schedule, which has been used by BLS for more than 20 years, is designed to
assist films to report consistently, accurately, and with a minimum of cost.
An establishment is defined as a single physical location, such as
a factory, mine, or store where business is conducted. In the case of a
company with several plants or establishments, the BLS endeavors to obtain
separate reports from each business unit which maintains separate payroll
records, since each may be classified in a different industry.
Coverage of Establishment Reports
The Bureau of Labor Statistics obtains monthly reports frcm
approximately 155,000 establishments, distributed by industry as shown by
the following table. The table also shows the approximate proportion of
total employment in each industry division covered by the group of establish
ments furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual
industries within the divisions may vary from the proportions shown.

Classification of Establishment Reports
To present meaningful tabulations of employment data, establish
ments are classified into industries on the basis of the principal product
or activity determined from information on annual sales volume for a recent
year. In the case of an establishment making more than one product, the
entire employment of the plant is included under the industry indicated by
the most important product. The titles and descriptions of industries
presented in the \9b6 Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Vol. I
(U. S* Bureau of the Budget, Washington, 7). C.) are used for classifying
reports from manufacturing establishments; the 19U2 Industrial Classifica
tion Code, (U. S. Social Security Board) for reports from nonmanufacturing
establishments*
Benchmark Data
Basic sources of benchmark information are periodic tabulations
of employment data, by industry, compiled by State agencies from reports of
establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. Supple
mentary tabulations prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Old Age and Survivors
Insurance are used for the group of establishments exempt from State
unemployment insurance laws because of their small size* For industries
not covered by either of the two programs, benchmarks are compiled from
special establishment censuses: for example, for interstate railroads, from
establishment data reported to the ICC} for State and local government,
from data reported to the Bureau of the Census; for the Federal government,
from agency data compiled by the Civil Service Commission. Establishments
are classified into the same industrial groupings for benchmark purposes as
they are for monthly reporting.
Estimating Method
The estimating procedure for industries for which data on both
"all employees”and "production and related workers”are published (i.e*
manufacturing and selected mining industries) is outlined below; the first
step of this method is also used for industries for which only figures on
"all employees" are published.
The first step is to compute total employment (all employees) in
the industry for the month following the benchmark period. The all-employee
total for the benchmark period (March) is multiplied by the percent change
over the month of total employment in a group of establishments reporting
for both March and April.. Thus, if firms in the BLS sample report 30,000
employees in March and 31>200 in April, the percentage increase would be
U percent (1,200 divided by 30,000)* If the all-employee benchmark in
March is 1*0,000, the all-employee total in April would be 10ii percent of
U0,000 or Ul,600.
The second step is to ccmpute the production-worker total for the
industry in the month following the benchmark period. The all-employee
total for the month is multiplied bv the ratio of production workers to all
employees* This ratio is computed from those establishment reports which
k6
show data for both items. Thus, if these firms in April report 2l*,H00
production workers and a total of 30,5>00 employees, the ratio of production
workers to all employees would be .80 (2U,U00 divided by 30,$00). The
production-worker total in April would be 33*280 (Ul,600 multiplied by .80).
Figures for subsequent months are computed by carrying forward the
totals for the previous month according to the method described above* When
annual benchmark data become available, the BLS employment figures for the
benchmark period are compared with the total count. If differences are
found the BLS series are adjusted to agree with the benchmark count.
Comparability With Other Bnployment Estimates
Data published by other government and private agencies differ from
BLS employment statistics because of differences in definition, sources of
information, and methods of collection, classification, and estimation. BLS
monthly figures are not comparable, for example, with the estimates of the
Bureau of the Census Monthly Report on the Labor Force. Census data are
obtained by personal interviews with individual members of a sample of house
holds and are designed to provide information on the work status of the whole
population, classified into broad social and economic groups. The BLS, on
the other hand, obtains by mail questionnaire data on employees, based on
payroll records of business units, and prepares detailed statistics on the
industrial and geographic distribution of employment and on hours of work and
earnings.
Since BLS employment figures are based on establishnent payroll
records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting
period will be counted more than once in the BLS series. By definition,
proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic servants, and unpaid family
workers are excluded from the BLS but not the MRLF series. The two series
also differ in date of reference, B l S collecting data for the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month (except for government), while the MRLF
relates to the calendar week containing the 8th day of the month.
Employment estimates derived ty the Bureau of the Census from its
quinquennial census and annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments
also differ from BLS employment statistics. Among the important reasons for
disagreement are differences in industries covered, in the business units
considered parts of an establishment, and in the industrial classification
of establishments.
Bnployment Statistics for States and Areas
State and area employment statistics are collected and prepared
by State agencies in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
names and addresses of these agencies are listed on the last page of the
Report. State agencies use the same basic schedule as the Bureau of Labor
Statistics in collecting employment statistics. State series are adjusted
hi
to benchmark data from State unemployment insurance agencies and the Bureau
of Old Age and Survivors Insurance. Because some States have more recent
benchmarks than others and use slightly varying methods of computation, the
sum of the State figures differs from the official U, S. totals prepared by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics. State and area data in greater industry
detail and for earlier periods may be secured directly upon request to the
appropriate State agency or to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Section B - LABOR TURN-OVER
Definition of Labor Turnorer
"Labor turnover," as used In this series, refers to the gross
movement of wage and salary workers into and out of employment status vith
respect to individual firms. This movement is subdivided into two broad
types: accessions (new hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of
employment initiated by either the employer or the employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rate per 100 em
ployees. Bates o f accession and separation are shown separately.
Both the types of movement and the employment used as the base for
computing labor turnover rates relate to all employees, including executive,
office, sales, and other salaried personnel as well as production workers.
All groups of employees - full- and part-time, permanent and temporary - are
included. Transfers from one establishment to another within a company are
not considered to be turnover items.
A relatively large percent of all personnel turnover is often
confined to particular groups of employees, such as new workers, trainees,
extra, part-time, and temporary workers. Turnover rates (especially for
periods longer than a month) should not be interpreted as the exact propor
tion of the total number of persons employed at any point in time who change
jobs during a subsequent time interval. For example, a quit rate of 25 per
100 for an annual period (computed by adding the 12 monthly rates) does not
mean that 25 percent of all the persons employed at the beginning of a year
left their jobs by the end of the year.
The terms used in labor turnover statistics are defined below:
Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar
month and are classified according to cause: quits, discharges, layoffs,
and miscellaneous separations (including military), as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment during the calendar month
Initiated by employees for such reasons as: acceptance of a job in another
company, dissatisfaction, return to school, marriage, maternity, ill health,
or voluntary retirement where no company pension is provided. Failure to re
port after being hired and unauthorized absences of more than seven
consecutive calendar days are also classified as quits. Prior to 19^0, mis
cellaneous separations were also included in this category.
Discharges are terminations of employment during the calendar month
initiated by the employer for such reasons as employees' incompetence, viola
tion of rules, dishonesty, Insubordination, laziness, habitual absenteeism,
or inability to meet physical standards.
Layoffs are terminations of employment during the calendar month
lasting or expected to last more than seven consecutive calendar days without
pay, initiated by the employer without prejudice to the worker, for such
1*9
reasons as lack of orders or materials, release of teaporary help,
conversion of plant, introduction of labor-saving machinery or processes, or
suspensions of operations vithout pay during inventory periods.
Miscellaneous separations (including military) are terminations of
employment during the calendar month because of permanent disability, death,
retirement on company pension, and entrance into the Armed Forces expected
to last more than thirty consecutive calendar days. Prior to 19*0, miscel
laneous separations vere included vith quits. Beginning September 19*0,
military separations vere included here.
Persons on leave of absence (paid or unpaid) vlth the approval of
the employer are not counted as separations until such time as it is defi
nitely determined that such persons vill not return to vork. At that time,
a separation is reported as one of the above typea, depending on the circum
stances.
Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary
additions to the employment roll during the calendar month, including both
nev and rehired employees. Persons returning to work after a layoff, mili
tary separation, or other absences who have been counted as separations are
considered accessions.
Source of Data and Sample Coverage
Labor turnover data are obtained each month from a sample of
establishments by means of a mail questionnaire. Schedules are received
from approximately 7,100 cooperating establishments in the manufacturing,
mining, and communication industries (see below). The definition of manu
facturing used in the turnover series is more restricted than in the BLS
series on employment, hours, and earnings because of the exclusion of cer
tain manufacturing industries from the labor turnover sample. The major
Industries excluded are: printing, publishing, and allied industries (since
April 19*3); canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods;
vomen's and misses' outerwear; and fertilizer.

Method of Computation
To compute turnover rates for individual industries, the total
number of each tjpe of action (accessions, quits, etc.) reported for a calen
dar month by the sample establishments in each industry is divided by the
total number of employees (both vage and salary workers) reported by these
establishments vho worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay
period ending nearest the 15th of that aonth. To obtain the rate, the result
is multiplied by 100.
For example, in an Industry sample, the total number of employees
who worked during, or received pay for, the week of J a n u a r y 12-18 was re
ported as 25,^98. During the period January 1-31 a total of 28M- employees in
all reporting firms quit. The quit rate for the industry is:
28* x 100 - 1.1
25,*98
To compute turnover rates for Industry groups, the rates for the
component industries are weighted by the estimated employment. Hates for the
durable and nondurable goods subdivisions and manufacturing division are com
puted by weighting the rates of major industry groups by the estimated
employment.
Industry Classification
Beginning with final data for December 19*9; manufacturing
establishments reporting labor turnover are classified in accordance with
the Standard Industrial Classification (19*5) code structure. Definitions of
nonmanufacturing Industries are based on the Social Security Board
Classification Code (19*2).
The durable.goods subdivision of manufacturing includes the
following major groups: ordnance and accessories; lumber and wood products
(except furniture); furniture and fixtures; stone, clay, and glass products;
primary metal industries; fabricated metal products (except ordnance, ma
chinery, and transportation equipment) ; machinery (except electrical);
electrical machinery; transportation equipment; Instruments and related prod
ucts; and miscellaneous manufacturing Industries. The nondurable goods
subdivision Includes the following major groups: food and kindred products;
tobacco manufactures; textlle-mlll products; apparel and other finished tex
tile products; paper and allied products; chemicals and allied products;
products of petroleum and coal; rubber products; and leather and leather
products.
Comparability With Earlier Data
Labor turnover rates are available on a comparable basis from
January 1930 for manufacturing as a whole and from 19*3 for two coal mining
and two communication industries. Because of a major revision, labor turn
over rates for many individual industries and Industry groups for the period
prior to December 19*9 are not comparable with the rates for the subsequent
period.
51
The revision of the turnover series involved (l) the adoption of
the Standard Industrial Classification (19^5) code structure for the manu
facturing Industries, providing new industry definitions and groupings (the
industry definitions of the Social Security Board Classification Code (19^-2)
were used in the series beginning In 19^3 and of the Census of Manufactures
in series prior to 19^ 3); and (2 ) the introduction of weighting (according
to employment in the component industries) in the computation of industrygroup rates. In the Bureau's previous series, industry-group rates were
computed directly from the sample of reporting establishments without regard
to the relative weight of the component industries.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing
industries 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; the employment reports, for the most part, refer to a 1-week
pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
(2) The turnover sample Is not as large as the employment sample
and includes proportionately fewer small plants; certain industries are not
covered (see paragraph on source of data and sample coverage).
(3) Plants are not included in the turnover computations in
months when work stoppages are in progress; the Influence of such stoppages
is reflected, however, in the employment figures.
Publications
Additional information on concepts, methodology, etc., is given in a
"Technical Note on Msaffurement of Labor Turnover," which is available upon re
quest. This note appeared in the l&y 1953 Monthly Labor Review (pp. 519-522).
Summary tables showing monthly labor turnover rates in each of the selected
industry groups and industries for earlier years are available upon request.
Such requests should specify the industry series desired.
