EXPIANfeTOKY MOTES
Sec. A* Scope of Employment Adjustments - The employ
ment estiraates shown in this report for the Industry divisions
(e.g., manufacturing, mining, etc.) and industry groups (e.g.,
iron end steel, electrical machinery, etc.) have been adjusted
to levels Indicated by Federal Security Agency data through
1946 and have been carried forward from 1946 bench-mark levels,
thereby providing consistent serlefc. ‘
Sec, 3. Sources of Bench-Mark Data - 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 1946 bench marks. Bcnch
marks for State and local government are based on.data compiled
by the Bureau of the Census, while most of the data on Federal
Gcvorraaent employment is 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,.
Adjustments of Produbtion-Worker Estimates Data for the manufacturing major industry groups have been ad
justed to levels indicated by Federal Security Agency data
through 1^46 and have been carried forward from 1946 bench-mark
levels,.thereby providing consistent series. Estimates for the
Individual manufacturing industries, formerly adjusted to data
through 1945, are now being adjusted to 1946 bench-mark levels.
As these, adjustments are completed, they are published in this
report and indicated by appropriate, footnotes. In the nonmanu
facturing industries, the entire series of mining industries
have been adjusted to 1946 bench-mark levels.
Since the data shown in this report cover only the
current months, a set of summary sheets for each industry present
ing comparable figures from January 1939 to date, by mbaths,
will be provided upon request to the Bureau of Labor Statistics*
Such requests should specify the series desired.
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 "bench mark" is
either a complete count or an estimate with a satisfactory degree
o&_£couracy. When. a_new bench mark becomes -available, -estimates
- 1 -
prepared since the last bench mailt are reviewed to determine
if any adjustment of level ia 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, end a rapid but less accurate
sample count on the other*
Briefly, the Bureau of Labor Statistics computes
employment estimates ao follows: first, a bench mark 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 bench mark to determine the
monthly estimates of eiaployraent between bench-mark periods. For
exanrpla, if the latest complete data on employment for an indus
try were 1*0,200 in September, and if the industry has a
reporting cample of 13 establishments employing £3,200 workers
In September and 23,800 In October, the October estimates would
be prepared as follow:
1*0,200 X §^|§§ = kl,3hQ
In general,, then, the omth-to-month* changes in employ
ment reflect' the fluctuations shown by establishments reporting
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Why Adjustments Are Necessary - Because reports are
not Immediately available from new films, they are frequently
introduced into the;BLS sample after they have been in operation
•for some t j i e This lapse of time produces a rather consistent
ifiy
understatement which becomes larger from.year to year. It is
important, therefore, that estimates not be allowed to go un
corrected for too long a period. The most recent adjustments
correct for the downward bias that had accumulated in the .non
manufacturing series beginning January 1<&5 and in the manu
facturing series beginning January 19w. Adjustments 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 submitted by cooperating establishments and
therefore differ from employment information obtained by house
hold Interviews, such as the Monthly Report of the Labor Force.
The BLS estimates of employment in noinagricultural establish
ments differ from the Monthly Report of the Labor Force total
nonagricultural employment estimates in several important
respects.
ii -
For example: (l) The BLS estimates cover all full- and parttime wage and salary workers ia private nonagrlcultural establishmsnts who worked or received pay «Luring the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the monthj in Federal establish
ments 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 jua-t before the last of the month. Persons
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 6f 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. Respon
dents 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 marks
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 pay-roll
estimates are based on reports from cooperating establishments.
The approximate number of establishments, and workers covered,
for each industry division is as follows:
