BUT IESS THAN USUAL FOR THE SEASON Nonfarm employment continued at record levels in September# Al though the increase from August was smaller t han usual for the season, the number of employees o n nonfarm payrolls in September was a n allt i m e h i g h f o r t h e m o n t h o f 4 -9 * 6 million, 700,000 above last Septem ber. T re n d s August-to-September employment changes were somewhat below sea sonal expectations. E m p l o y m e n t de c l i n e s , i n s t e a d o f t h e u s u a l gains, were reported in primary metals, machinery, transportation equip ment, furniture, textiles, and ap parel. S o m e p a r t o f t h e s e d ec re as es can be attributed to a n industrial dispute in a major steel company, and the burning of the Livonia, Michigan, automatic transmission plant. Nonfarm employment increased by 200,000 between mid-August and m i d - S e p t e m b e r c o m p a r e d t o a n Augustto-September average gain of half a million in the post-World W a r II period. This was the second month w h e n the rise in employment was less than usual. The small rise in nonfarm em ployment was primarily due to the absence of the usual seasonal in crease in manufacturing. The num ber of workers on manufacturing p a y r o l l s d e c r e a s e d b y a b o u t 6 0 ,0 0 0 from August to September, although in recent years an average increase o f a b o u t 2 0 0 ,0 0 0 h a s o c c u r r e d a t this season. Nevertheless, factory employment this September w a 3 half a million higher than in September 1952, indicating the maintenance of v e r y h i g h e m p l o y m e n t l evels, follow ing the sharp rise that occurred late in 1952. T h e r e w e r e a n u m b e r of manufac turing industry groups whe r e the I n the electrical machinery and fabricated metals industry g r o u p s , i n c r e a s e s w e r e s m a l l e r "than usual. Decreases reported in lum b e r a n d l e a t h e r w e r e s o m e w h a t great e r t h a n t h e a v e r a g e d e c l i n e f o r the season in recent years. Despite these changes, Sept ember 1953 employment in fabricated metals, electrical machinery, and transportation equipment was sub stantially above the levels of a year earlier. Although employment in automobile plants has declined in recent months, the total f or the transportation equipment group was u p b y 1 6 0 ,0 0 0 o v e r t h e y e a r , m a i n l y because of continued expansion in aircraft manufacturing. On the other hand, the lumber, textile, apparel, and leather in dustry groups had fewer workers on their payrolls this September than a ye a r ago. A downtrend in lumber employment has been evident since early 1952* However, the o v e r — theyear employment reductions in the s o f t - g o o d s i n d u s t r i e s r e p o r t e d this September were the first a p p reci able decreases thus far this year. Contract construction employ m e n t d e c l i n e d b y a b o u t 3 0 ,0 0 0 b e tween August and September— one of t h e l a r g e s t r e d u c t i o n s r e p o r t e d far these months in recent years. How ever, the total number of workers on contractors’ payrolls this Sept e m b e r - n e a r l y 2 . 7 m i l l i o n — -was Isb than 5 percent below the all-time pe a k for the m o n t h recorded last year. T h e n u m b e r of w o r k e r s employed in retail stores increased between August and September by 120,000— somewhat b e low the 1947-52 average for this time of year. This was the first noticeable departure fim the usual seasonal p a ttern in r e tail trade employment thus far in 1 9 5 3 J b u t a t 7 . 7 m i l l i o n , t h e total was an all-time high for September and August, a period of usual sea sonal increase. In most postW o r l d W a r II years the end of the July vacation period and the ex p a n s i o n of output for the fall buy i n g s e a s o n r e s u l t e d i n l o n g e r hours in August. H o w e v e r , a t 4.0.5 hours, the average workweek in manufactur ing plants in m i d-August was the same as a year earlier and only a b o u t o n e - h a l f h o u r b e l o w t h e posbWorld War II high for the month reached in 1950.

In machinery, where a slight down trend in activity due to curtailed o u t p u t o f f a r m imp l e m e n t s ha s been evident since spring, the August workweek was the lowest for this time Employment in the transporta t i o n a n d p u b l i c u t i l i t i e s , finance, a n d s e r v i c e I n d u s t r i e s a l s o w a s at peak levels this September.

However, in the food indus try group, a n unchanged workweek over the month contrasted w ith de clines registered each year since 1948. Nevertheless, overtime work continued to be w i d e s p r e a d i n man* ufacturing industries. In August, 15 of the 21 m a j o r i n d u s t r y groups had average workweeks of more than 40 hours. Three of these— paper, machinery, and food products— reported a workweek of more than 41 1 /2 hours* Factory production workers1 gross hourly pay— including over time and other premium pay— aver aged $1.77 this August, unchanged f r ca n J u l y . This was 11 cents more than i n Au g u s t 1952. Most of this rise occurred i n the l a tter part of last year and in early 1953* Since April, average hourly earn ings have increased b y 2 cents. The average factory worker*s weekly pay amounted to $71.69 in August, $4.46 higher than in August last year. This increase resulted primarily from advances in wage rates. The larger proportion of workers employed in such higherpaid durable goods industries as primary and fabricated metals, transportation equipment, and elec trical machinery also contributed to the rise in weekly earnings. after vacation IH MID-1953 Hiring rates in the Nation's factories remained virtually un changed between July and August, c o n t ra stin g w i t h the ups w i n g usually reported at this time of year. Manufacturing plants added workers to their payrolls at a rate o f ^ 2 p e r 1 , 0 0 0 e m p l o y e e s i n August, about 25 percent below the postWorld W a r II average for the month. Not only was the late summer pickup i n hiring absent this year, but also hiring in July was down from June levels b y m o r e t h a n the usual amount. In every y e a r since 1946, factory hiring has been stepped up appreci ably between July and August, re flecting the reopening of plants and prep Industry groups where in c r e a s e s i n h i r i n g w e r e s m a l l e r than usual included furniture, fabri cated metals, machinery, textiles, and apparel. Several industry groups reported declines in hiring between July and August, instead of the customary gains: primary metals, lumber, transportation equipment, paper, and tobacco products. Factory layoffs rose between July and August, 13 per 1,000 employees. slightly f r o m 11 to A u g u s t vbs the first month in 1953 when lay offs exceeded the rate of the same month last year.

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 goverment. 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 nonmanufacturing 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 bjr 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 tue 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. a Definition of Qnployment BLS employment statistics represent the nunber 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 month j 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. On 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. Persons 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 Amed 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 Companies1' 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; (U) employsent in the General Accounting Office and Government 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 fonts and when returned, exanine 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 42 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 comparison when reporting for January as an aid to collection of consistent data. The same 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 firms 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 fran 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 fran 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.

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 19U5 Standard Industrial Classification Manual. Vol. I (U. S. Bureau of the Budget, Washington, D. C.) are used for classifying reports fran manufacturing establishments; the 19h2 Industrial Classifica tion Code. (U. S. Social Security Board) for reports fran nonmanufacturing establishments. Benchmark Data Basic sources of benchmark information are periodic tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiled by State agencies from reports of establishnents 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, frcm data reported to the Bureau of the Census; for the Federal government, from agency data compiled by the Civil Servioe Commission. Establishments are classified into the same industrial groupings for benchmaric 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 finns 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 10U percent of it0,000 or 1^1 ,600. The second step, is to compute the production-worker total for the industiy 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 show data for both items. Thus, if these firms in April report 2h,h00 production workers and a total of 30,500 employees, the ratio of production workers to all employees would be .80 (2U,U00 divided by 30,500). The production-worker total in A.pril would be 33,280 (itl,600 multiplied by .80), Figures for subsequent months are computed by carrying forward tne 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 Employment Estimates Data published by other government and private agencies differ fron 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 establishment 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, BlS 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 by 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. Bnplpyment 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 A5 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 camputation, 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, 46 S e c t i o n B - L A B O R T U R N O V E R Definition of Labor Turnover "Labor turnover," as uaed In this series, refers to the gross movement of wage and salary vorkers Into and out of employment status vlth respect to Individual firms. This movement Is subdivided Into tvo broad types: accessions (nev hires and rehlres) 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. B*$es of accession and separation are shovn 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 veil as production vorkers. All groups of employees - full- and part-time, permanent and temporary - are included. Transfers from one establishment to another vlthln 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 nev vorkers, trainees, extra, part-time, and temporary vorkers. 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 lm time vho change jobs during a subsequent time interval. Jor 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 cure terminations o f w » p i o » a . v f t during the calendar month initiated by employee* for such reason* ass acceptance of a job in another company, dissatisfaction, return to school, marriage, maternity, 111 health, or voluntary retirement vhere 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 vere also included in this category. Discharges are terminations of employment during the calendar month initiated by the employer for sueh 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 oonsecutive calendar days vlthout pay, initiated by the employer vlthout prejudice to the worker, for such 17 reasons as lack of orders or n a te rla ls, release of temporary help, conversion o f plant, Introduction of labor-saving aaehlnery or processes, or suspensions of operations without pay during Inventory periods. Miscellaneous separations (in clud in g m ilita ry ) are term inations of employment during the calendar month because of pemanent d is a b ility , death, retirement on company pension, and entrance into the Armed Forces expected to la s t more than th irty consecutive calendar days. P rio r to 19*0, m iscel laneous separations were included v ith q u its. Beginning September 19*0, m ilita ry separations vere Included here. Persons on leave of absence (paid or unpaid) v ith the approval o f the employer are not counted as separations u n til such time as I t is d e fi n ite ly determined that such persons v l l l not return to vork. At that time, a separation Is reported as one of the above types, depending on the circum stances. Accessions are the to ta l number of permanent and temporary additions to the employment r o ll during the calendar month, Including both nev and rehired employees. Persons returning to vork a fte r a la y o ff, m ili tary separation, or other absences vho have been counted as separations are considered accessions. Source of Data and Sample Coverage Labor turnover data are obtained each month from a sample o f establishments by means of a m ail questionnaire. Schedules are received from approximately 7>100 cooperating establishments In the manufacturing, mining, and communication ind ustries (see belov). The d e fin itio n of manu factu rin g used in the turnover se rie s is more re stricte d than in the BLS se rie s on employment, hours, and earnings because of thp exclusion o f ce r ta in manufacturing Industries from the labor turnover sample. The major in d u stries excluded are: p rin tin g , publishing, and a llie d in d ustries (sin ce A p ril 19*3); canning and preserving fru it s , vegetables, And sea foods; vomen's and m isses' outervear; and f e r t iliz e r .

To obtain the rate, the re su lt is m ultiplied by 100. For example, in an Industry sample, the to ta l number o f employees who vorked during, or received pay fo r, the week of January 12-18 vas re ported as 25,^98* During the period January 1-31 a to ta l of 2 8 k employees in a ll reporting firm s q u it. The quit rate fo r the Industry is : 2 8 k x 100 = 1 . 1 257595 To compute turnover rates fo r Industry groups, the rates fo r the component ind ustries are weighted by the estimated employment. Sates fo r the durable and nondurable goods subdivisions and manufacturing d iv isio n are com puted by weighting the rates of major Industry groups by the estimated employment. Industry C la ssific a tio n Beginning v ith fin a l data fo r December 19^9> manufacturing establishments reporting labor turnover cure c la s s ifie d in accordance v lth the Standard In d u stria l C la s s ific a tio n (19^5) code structure. D efin itio n s of nonmanufacturing Industries are based on the S ocial Security Board C la ssific a tio n Code (19^2). The durable goods subdivision of manufacturing Includes the follow ing major groups: ordnance and accessories; lumber and wood products (except fu rn itu re ); fu rn itu re and fix tu re s; stone, clay, and glass products; primary metal in d u stries; fabricated metal products (except ordnance, ma chinery, and transportation equipment); machinery (except e le c t ric a l); e le c t ric a l machinery; transportation equipment; instruments and related prod ucts; and miscellaneous manufacturing in d u stries. The nondurable goods subdivision includes the follow ing major groups: food and kindred products; tobacco manufactures; te x t ile -m ill products; apparel and other fin ished tex t ile products; paper and a llie d products; chemicals and a llie d products; products of petroleum and coal; rubber products; and leather and leather products. Comparability With E a rlie r Data Labor turnover rates are available on a comparable basis from January 1930 fo r manufacturing as a whole and from 19^3 fo r two coal mining and two communication in d u stries. Because of a major revisio n , labor turn over rates fo r many In d ivid u al industries and industry groups fo r the period p rio r to December 19^9 are not comparable with the rates fo r the subsequent period. U9 The re visio n of the turnover series Involved ( l ) the adoption of the Standard In d u stria l C la s s ific a tio n (19^5) code structure fo r the manu facturin g In d ustries, providing nev industry d e fin itio n s and groupings (the industry d e fin itio n s of the S ocial Security Board C la s s ific a tio n Code ( 19^2 ) were used in the se rie s beginning in 19^3 and of the Census o f Manufactures in se rie s p rio r to 19^3 )> &nd ( 2 ) the introduction o f weighting (according to employment In the component in d u stries) in the computation of industrygroup rates. In the Bureau's previous se rie s, industry-group rates vere computed d ire c tly from the sample of reporting establishments without regard to the re la tiv e weight o f the component in d u stries. Com parability With Employment Series Month-to-month changes in to ta l employment in manufacturing in d u stries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employment se rie s fo r the follow ing reasons: (1 ) Accessions and separations sure computed fo r the entire calendar-month; the employment reports, fo r the most part, re fe r to a 1-week pay period ending nearest the 15th lof the month. ( 2 ) The turnover sample is not as large as the employment sample and includes proportionately fewer sm all plants; certain in d ustries 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 re fle cte d , however, in the employment fig u re s. Publications A dditional inform ation on concepts, methodology, e tc ., is given in a "Technical Note on Measurement o f Labor Turnover , 11 which is availab le upon re quest. This note appeared in the May 1953 Monthly T*.ivw Review (pp. 519-522). Summary tables shoving monthly labor turnover rates in each of the selected ind ustry groups and in d u stries fo r e a rlie r years are availab le upon request.
