EXPLANATORY HOTgS
Sec. A. Scope of Employment Revisions - The employment estimates
shown in this report for the Industry divisions (e.g., manufacturing,
mining, etc.) and Industry groups (e.g., Iren and steel, electrical
machinery,, etc.-) have been adjusted to levels indicated by benc'i-mark data
through 1946 and supersede data shewn in mimeographed releases dated prior
to June 19^8 and in the Monthly Labor Review dated prior to July 1948.
Each of the industry divisions except service was affected by the revisions,
The estimates have been carried forward from 1946 bench-mark levels, there­
by providing consistent series.
Sec. B. Sources of Bench-Mark Data - The chicf purpose of .
revisions published in the April 194JT5M:AXflD REPORT, was to ad.just the
levels of employment estimates to bench-mark data through 1946, la
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. Bench marks for State and local
government are based on data compriled 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 the U. S. Maritime Commission for water trans­
portation.
Sec. C. Revisions of Manufacturing Productlon-Worker Estimates Data for the major industry groups have ‘
been adjusted io’ levels indicated
by Federal Security Agency data through 1946 and are not comparable with
those shown in mimeographed releases dated prior to June 1948 or the
Monthly Labor Review dated prior to July 1948. In the transportation
equipment except automobiles group, the individual industry data are
adjusted to 1939 Census of Manufactures levels. In the tobacco manufac­
tures group, the individual industry data are adjusted-to levels
indicated by Federal Security Agency data through 1946 and are not
comparable with data published in mimeographed releases dated prior to
July 1948 or the Monthly Labor Review dated prior to August 3948; the
remaining industries are adjusted bo data through 194^. Cossparable data
for all series £rom January 1939
available upon request to the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, Such requests should specify the series desired.
Sec, D. Bow Employment Estimates Are Made - Estimates of
changes JLn tfce level of' e£^ioyS3n3T are based on reports frcaa a sample
group at establishments, inasmuch as full coverage is prohibitively
costly and time-ccnsutalng. In using a sample, it is essential that an
accurate base be established frcm 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 availble, estimates prepared since the last bench mark 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 satis­
factory compromise between a clow but highly accurate complete count on
the on© hand, and a rapid but less accurate sample count on the other.




Briefly, the Bureau of Labor Statistics computes employment
estimates a3 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 employment between
bench-mark periods. For example, if the latest complete data on employ­
ment for an industry were 40,200 in September 19^5, 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
as follows:
23,800
40,200 X 237200 = 41,240
In general, data showing month-to-month changes in employment
reflect the fluctuations shown by establishments reporting to tho 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,
involving the acisnti^ic selection of a sample of cities and of a repre­
sentative list of blocks in these cities. Data obtained from the establish­
ments in these blocks yield substantially better estimates of month-tomonth 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 railroads and the Federal Government, complete reports of
employment are available.
Why Revisions Are Necessary - Because reports are not immedi­
ately 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 is Important, therefore, that
estimates not be allowed to go uncorroctod for too long a period. The
most recent revisions correct for the downward bias that had accumulated
in the nonmanufacturlog series beginning January 194;? and in the manu­
facturing 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. If. 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 employ­
ment information obtained by hoi’sehold 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 tho Labor Force total nonagricultural employment estimates in
several Important respects. For example: (1) The Bureau of Labor
Statistics estimates cover all full- and part-time wage and salary workers
In private nonagricultural establishments vho 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 reporting 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 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.
The methodology for obtaining pay-roll estimates is similar to
that for employment estimates. Sample changes shewing 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 - IJnployraent and pay-roll estimates
are based .on 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 are shown belcw;

Sec. H. Coverage of Employment Estimates - The employment
estimates shown in tables 1 , 2, 3 , S,‘ and 7 cover all full- and part-time
wage and salaryworkers 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 farces are excluded. The
estimates and Indexes shown in tables 8 and 10 refer to production and
related workers as defined in the Glossary, page vil.
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
computation are used, the total of the state estimates differs from the
national total (see tables 1 and 2). Because of these recent revisions




- ill -

the state estimates for manufacturing are not consistent with the
unrevised data shown prior to June 19^7 for total employment in nonagri­
cultural establishments, by state. Comparable sorios of manufacturing
estimates for each state, January 19^3 to date, and alao for nonagricultural
employment for selected states, through December 19^6, 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 6 . These totals are consistent with tho manufacturing
estimates in table 7. As nonagricultural estimates for additional States
become available, they will be shown in table 6.
