NOTES
Sec; A. Scope of iSraployno f Revisions - The employment
restimates shown in this report for tne industry divisions (e.g.,
manufacturing; mining, etc.) and industry groups (e.g., iron and
steel, electrical machinery, etc,) have "been adjusted to levels
indicated by Federal Security Agency data through 19k6 and have
been carried forward from 1946 bench-mark levels, thereby providing
consistent series.
Sec; B. Sources of Bench-Mark Data - In preparing
estimates for private employment p ’
i ior to 1939, the various indus
trial censuses taken by the Bureau of the Census were used as
sources of ‘
bohsh-mark data. Data obtained from the Federal
Security Ag^ufcy are the main bases for 19^6 bench marks. Bonch
marks for State and local government are based on data compiled.
by the Bureau of the Census, while moot 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 Production-Worker Estimates - Data
for the maaiufsc’tiring major industry groups hare been adjusted to
levels indicated by Federal Security Agency data through 19^6 and
have been carried forward from 19^6 bench-mark levels, thereby
providing consistent series. Estimates for the individual manu
facturing industries, formerly adjusted to data through 19^5 > are
now being adjusted to 19^6 bench-mark levels. As these revijions
are completed, they are published in this report and indicated by
appropriate footnotes. In the nonmanufacturing industries, the
entire series of mining industries have been adjusted to 19^6
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 months, 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 prohi
bitively costly and time-consuming. In using a sample, it is es
sential that an accurate base be established from which, estimates
may be carried forward. This base or "bench mark" is either a com
plete count or an estimate with a satisfactory degree of accuracy.
-i-
When a new bench mark becones available, 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 BL3. 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 employ
ment estimates as follows: first, a bench mark or level of employ
ment 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 employment for an industry were U0,200
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 estimates would be prepared as
follows:
U
0,200 X gz|22 = kl,2kO
In general, data showing month-to-nonth changes in em
ployment reflect the fluctuations shown by establishments report
ing to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. For railroads and the Federal
Government, complete reports of employment are available.
Why Revisions Are Neceeaary - Because reports are not
immediately available from new firms, they are frequently introduced
into the BLS 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 uncorrected for too long a period.
The most recent revisions correct for the downward bias that had
accumulated in the nonmanufacturing series beginning January 19*5
and in the manufacturing series beginning January I9U6. 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 submitted by cooperating establishments and therefore differ
from employment information obtained by household inteviews, such as
the Monthly Report of the Labor Force. The BIS estimates of employ
ment in nonagricultural establishments differ from the Monthly
Report of the Labor Force total nonagricultural employment estimates
in several important respects.
- ii -
For example:. (1) The BJ estimates cover all full- and part-time
iS
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 reporting period would be counted more
than once; (2) Proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic
servants, and unpaid family workers are excluded.
Sec. F. Pay-Boll Indexes t 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 in
structed 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 esti
mates are based on reports' from cooperating establishments. The
approximate number of establishments, and workers covered, for
each industry division is as follows:

t
v. Ihe estimates for manufacturing have bean adjusted to recent
data cade available under the Federal.
Social Security program*
Since acme State® have adjusted to more rocent-bsncb-roarlc data
tliaa others, and because vsrying methods of computation are used,
the total bf the State estimates differs from the national totel
(see tables 1 and 2). Because of these recent revisions' the State
estimates for manufacturing are not consistent with the unrevined
data shown prior to June X9kr for total employment in nonagricultural
{
establishments, by State. A number of States also j a : available
