EXPLANATORY NOTES Sec. A. Revisions of Eciploynent Estimates - The employment estimates shown in this report for the industry divisions (e.g., mining, manufacturing, etc.) and industry groups (e.g., iron and steel, electrical machinery, etc.) have been adjusted to levels indicated by final 194-5 benchmark data and supersede data shown in mimeographed releases dated prior to April 19-47 and in the Monthly Labor Review dated prior to May 1947. Sec. B. Sources of Benchmark Data - The chief purpose of recent re visions, published in the February 1947 DETAILED REPORT, is to adjust the levels of employment estimates to .194-5 benchmark data. In preparing estimates for employment prior to 1939, the various industrial censuses taken by the Bureau of the Census were used as sources of benchmark data. Data obtained from unemployment compen sation agencies and the Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance are the main bases for 1945 benchmarks, although there are some important exceptions. Benchmarks for State and local government, for example, are based on data compiled by the Bureau of the Census, while data on Federal Government employment are made available by the U. S. Civil Service Commission. The Interstate Commerce Commission is the source for railroads, and the U. S. Maritime Commission for water transportation. Sec. C. Scope of Employment Revisions - Recent revisions also include a nev/ type of estimate for employment in construction based upon establishment reports. This estimate is more consistent with the estimating procedure used for other industry divisions. In addition, federal force account construction employment has been transferred from the construction segment to government. Each of the industry divisions was affected by the recent revisions. Adjustments have also,been made in each of the 20 major groups comprising the manufacturing industry division. To be consistent with the estimates for these major industry groups, and more representative of the true level of employment, estimates for the individual manufacturing industries, formerly based on the 1939 Census of Manufactures, are now being revised. As these revisions are completed, they are published in this Report and indicated by appropriate footnotes. Since the revised employment estimates shown in this Report cover only the current months .a set of sumifiary 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 establishments, 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 "benchmark" is either a complete count or an estimate with a satisfactory degree of accuracy. When a nev/ benchmark becomes available, estimates prepared since the last benchmark are reviewed to determine if any adjustment of level is required. This is the basic principle of employment estimating used by the BLS.. It yields a satisfactory compromise between a slow but highly accurate complete count on the one hand, and a rapid but less accurate sample count on the other. Briefly, the Bureau of Labor Statistics computes employment estimates as follows: first, a benchmark or level of employment is determined; second, a sample of establishments is selected; and third, changes in employment indicated by this reporting sample are applied to the benchmark to determine the monthly estimates of employment between benchmark periods. For example, if the latest complete data on employment for an industry were 4-0,200 in September 194-5, ana 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 as follows: 40,200 X 23,200 ~ 41,240 * In general data showing month-to-month changes in employrpent reflect the fluctuations shown by establishments reporting to the Bureau of La«*r 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, involving 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 monthto-month changes in. employment in the service and finance industries than would be obtained by the use of the sampling procedure employed for other industries. For railroads, complete reports of employment are available. Why Revisions are Necessary - Because reports are not immediately availa ble from.new firms, they are frequently introduced into the Bureau of Labor Sta tistic ssaiple 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 is important, therefore, that estimates not be allowed to go. uncorrected for too long a period. During the war period adjustment of many of the nonmanufacturing industry divisions was unavoidably postponed for several years. Consequently, the most recent revision corrects for the downward bias that had accumulated in the non manufacturing series since 1941* Revisions; in some industry divisions have been carried bapk to 1939 in order to incorporate greater refinements in methodology and new source materials that have become available. For example, imprbyied data on the smali firm component of the trade and service industries, supplied by the Bureau of Old Age and Survivors Insurance, made possible refinements in these series back to 1939. Sec. E. Comparability With Other Types of Employment Data - The Bureau of Labor Statistics employment estimates are based upon reports submitted by cooperat ing 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 employmept in nonagricultural establishments differ from the Monthly Report of the Labor Forcc total nonagricultural employment estimates in several important respects. For example:. (1) The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates cover all full- and part-time wag.e and salary workers in non agricultural establishments who worked or received pay during the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Persoris who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period would be counted more than once; (2) Proprietors, selfemployed 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 deduction 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 - ii - The methodology for obtaining pay roll estimates is similar to that for employment estimates. Sample changes showing monthly movements are used in project ing estaDlished "benchmarks to secure current pay roll estimates. These pay roll estimates are converted into indexes, using the 1939 average as a base. Sec. G-. Source of Data - Employment and p^y roll estimates are based on reports from cooperating establishments,, Excluding the block-sample returns, the approximate number of establishments, and workers covtr§df for each of the industry divisions are shown below.

H. Coverage of Employment Estimates - The employment estimates shown in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 5 cover all full- and part-time wage and salary workers who worked- or received pay during the pay period ending nearest1the 15th of the month. Proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic servants, and personnel of the armed forces are excluded. Production worker estimates as shown in Tables 6 and 8 are limited to working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers except administrative, office, and sales personnel. 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 benchmark data than others, and because varying methods of computation are used, the total of the state estimates differs from the.-national total (see Table l) . Because of these recent revisions the state estimates for manufacturing are not consistent with the unre vised data previously shown 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 by state, 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, which were regularly published in this raprt, have been discontinued.
