- 2 Unemployment among persons who lost their last job—persons on layoff as well as those not
expecting recall—normally Increases from December to January. This year the increase was less
than usual, such that, on a seasonally adjusted basis, the number of Job losers showed a
sizable
decline. There was also a reduction in the number of unemployed who were new entrants
to the labor force. (See table A-8.)
The over-the-month decline In unemployment was concentrated among the short-term jobless
(less than 5 weeks), whose number declined by 480,000 to 3.5 million. However, the number of
unemployed persons seeking work for 6 months or more continued to increase, and, accordingly,
both the median duration of unemployment (11.5 weeks) and the mean duration of unemployment
(19.4 weeks) rose markedly over the month. (See table A-7.)
Civilian Employment and the Labor Force
Civilian employment, at 99.1 million In January, held steady for the third consecutive
month, seasonally adjusted. Since the onset of the recession, civilian employment has dropped
by 1.6 million, with adult men and teenagers accounting for the decline.

THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION:

Unemployment declined in January after seasonal adjustment, and the number of nonfarm Jobs
Increased, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor reported today. A new
overall unemployment rate which Includes the resident Armed Forces In the labor force,
Introduced today, was 10.2 percent In January, down from 10.7 percent in December. The
unemployment rate for all civilian workers was 10.4 percent, down from 10.8 percent In December.
Total employment was unchanged In January, at 100.8 million, seasonally adjusted.
Both
civilian employment—as measured by the monthly survey of households—and the resident Armed
Forces (1.7 million) were unchanged over the month.
Nonfarm payroll employment—as measured by the monthly survey of establishments—rose by
340,000 In January, after seasonal adjustment, with trade and construction accounting for most
of the increase. In addition, both the total private and factory workweeks advanced sharply.
Unemployment
The number of unemployed persons Increased by less than usual from December to January,
and, as a reault, the seasonally adjusted level declined by 590,000 to 11.4 million. The
unemployment rate for all civilian workers decreased by 0.4 percentage point to 10.4 percent.
However, the rate was still 3.2 percentage points above the July 1981 pre-recession low. (See
table A-2.)
Among the major demographic groups, the rates for adult men (9.6 percent), teenagers (22.7
percent), and whites (9.1 percent) fell over the month, while the rates for adult women (9.0
percent), blacks (20.8 percent), and Hlspanics (15.5 percent) were about unchanged.
Jobless
rates also declined over the month among workers in manufacturing and construction—the two
industry groups that have been most severely affected by the recession. (See tables A-2, A-3,
and A-6.)
Three major changes are being Introduced with the publication of
household survey data for January 1983.
First, in addition to the
traditional civilian series, this release Incorporates new labor force
series that Include persons in the Armed Forces stationed In the United
States. Second, all occupational and Industry data are coded according
to the classification systems used In the 1980 census. Finally,
Improvements have been made In the estimation procedures, using 1980
census data. These changes are described on page 4 of this release.
A more detailed explanation appeared In the article, "Labor force data
from the CPS to undergo revision in January 1983," in the November 1982
issue of the Monthly Labor Review.

- 3 The civilian labor force fell by 580,000 In January to 110.5 million, aeaaonally adjuated.
Adult men accounted for about two-thlrda of the reduction. The civilian labor force haa
lncreaaed by 1.8 million alnce January 1982. (See table A-2.)
Induatry Payroll Employment
Nonagrlcultural payroll employment waa 88.9 million la January, aeaaonally adjuated, up
340,000 from the December 1982 level. Over-the-month galna were concentrated In retail trade
(240,000) and construction (115,000). The aeaaonally adjuated increase* for both industries
were the result of amaller-than-uaual employment declines from December to January. Some of the
aeaaonally adjuated Increase In retail trade employment occurred because hiring for the 1982
Christmas buying season had been relatively light and thus the post-holiday reductlona in sales
staff were leaa than expected. The increase In construction employment waa affected by the
unusually mild weather that prevailed throughout much of the Nation in January, the recent
upturn In housing starta, and the already reduced employment levels.
Manufacturing employment held steady In January after declining throughout the course of the
recession. The number of workers on machinery payrolls fell by about 20,000; employment changes
in this Induatry usually lag behind those In other manufacturing industries.
Elsewhere,
employment in finance, insurance, and real eatate roae by nearly 30,000, while government
employment declined by about 90,000, largely at the State and local level.
Employment In
services, which haa shown little growth In recent months, was about unchanged from December.
(See table B-l.)
Hours of Work
The average workweek of production or nonauperviaory workers on private nonfarm payrolls
roae by 0.4 hour in January to 35.2 hours, seasonally adjusted. While factory overtime houra
remained unchanged, the manufacturing workweek was up 0.8 hour over the month.
The average
workweek
lncreaaed
substantially in industries linked to housing construction—lumber,
furniture, and stone, clay and glaaa products—and alao roae markedly in transportation
equipment, textilea, and apparel. (See table B-2.) These galna may be overstated to some extent
because of the Impact of the severe winter weather of January 1982 on the seasonal adjustment
process.
The Index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonauperviaory workers on private
nonagrlcultural payrolls was up 1.8 percent, seasonally adjuated. In January to 104.4
(1977-100). The manufacturing index, at 85.0, waa up 2.3 percent over the month but remained
14.7 percent below the July 1981 level. (See table B-5.)

(See table B-3.)

Revisions In the Household Survey Data
Effective with the release of data for January 1983, several modifications have been made
in the presentation, classification, and estimating procedures of national labor force data
derived from the Current Population Survey (CPS).
In addition to the traditional civilian
serlea, the BLS la publishing new labor force aeries that Include persons In the Armed Forces
stationed In the United Statea; all occupational and Industry data are coded according to the
classification systems used in the 1980 census; and- the CPS first-stage ratio estimation
procedure Incorporates 1980 rather than 1970 Census population weights.
Inclusion of the Resident Armed Forces
In its 1979 report, Counting the Labor Force, the National Commission on Employment and
Unemployment Statistics recommended that members of the Armed Forces stationed in the United
Statea be included in the national labor force statistics. This recommendation waa aubsequently
accepted by the Secretary of Labor In hie final report to the Congress on the Commission's
recommendations, dated October 1981. Accordingly, members of the resident Armed Forces are
Included in the labor force and employment totala and are also reflected in the calculation of a
total overall unemployment rate. They are alao Included In the totala for men and women 16
years and over. (See table A-l.) The new overall unemployment rate ia one- or two-ten the of a
percentage point lower than the civilian baaed rate, and the rate for men la lower by a slightly
larger margin; the rate for women la essentially unaffected. Data on the realdent Armed Forces,
which are obtained from the Defense Department, do not provide the demographic, social, and
economic detail that are available from the CPS for civilian workers, and thus the publication
and analysis of the vast majority of employment and unemployment statistics will continue to be
on a civilian basis.
Conversion to the 1980 Census Occupation and Industry Classification Systems
All occupational and Induatry data derived from the CPS are now based on 1980 census
classification systems rather than the 1970 cenaua systems used since January 1972. All
occupational data are coded according to the classification system used in the 1980 census,
which evolved from the 1980 Standard Occupational Classification system. The new industrial
classifications are based on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification system (SIC), as
modified In 1977. While the conversion had little effect on Industry-related data, the new
occupational categorlea are ao radically different that their Implementation represents a break
in historical data series.
To assist users in bridging the gap between the two occupational classification systems, the
Census Bureau haa coded a 20-percent sample of the 1982 mlcrodata files for selected months
using the 1980 census-based occupational coding system and, baaed on this, created factora to
convert the 1982 occupational data to the new classification. (See table A-ll.) The methodology
used to produce the overlap data for 1982 la only reliable at the aggregated level, and thua
data by sex, race, or other characteristics are not being produced. Seasonal adjustment of
occupational data based on the 1980 classification system will not be possible until at least 5
years of data become available.
Revision of Estimating•Procedures

The Hourly Earnings Index
The Hourly Earnlnge Index (HEI) waa 152.7 (1977-100) In January, aeaaonally adjuated, 0.4
percent higher than In December.
For the 12 months ended in January, the increase (before
seasonal adjuataent) waa 5.4 percent. The HKI excludea the effects -of two typea of changea
unrelated to underlying wage rate movementa—fluctuationa In overtime in manufacturing and
interindustry employment shifts. In dollars of constant purchasing power, the HEI lncreaaed 2.1
percent during the 12-month period ended In December. (Sae table B-4.)




A CPS estimation procedure—under which adjustments are made to take into account the
dlfferencea existing at the time of the moat recent cenaua between the race-residence
distribution for the Nation and for the sample areas—now makes use of the 1980 census results.
The differences between the old and new procedures are negligible for the moat part. However,
the change resulted In an increase of about 120,000 in the estimate 'of the metropolitan
area
population 16 years and older and a corresponding decreaae in the nonmetropolltan counterpart.
In addition, this new procedure yields a alight Increase in the estimated unemployment rates for
black women, and the estimated number of persona employed in agriculture. A discussion of these
changea appeared In "Labor force data from the CPS to undergo revision In January 1983",
Monthly Labor Review. November 1982, pp. 3-6. A more current and detailed explanation will
appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1983" in the February
1983 issue of Employment and Eamlnga.

Explanatory Note
This news release presents statistics from two major surveys,
the Current Population Survey (household survey) and the
Current Employment Statistics Survey (establishment survey).
The household survey provides the information on the labor
force, total employment, and unemployment that appears in
the A tables, marked HOUSEHOLD DATA. It is a sample
survey of about 60,000 households that is conducted by the
Bureau of the Census with most of the findings analyzed and
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
The establishment survey provides the information on the
employment, hours, and earnings of workers on nonagricultural payrolls that appears in the B tables, marked
ESTABLISHMENT DATA. This information is collected
from payroll records by BLS in cooperation with State agencies.
The sample includes approximately 180,000 establishments employing about 36 million people.
For both surveys, the data for a given month are actually
collected for and relate to a particular week. In the household
survey, unless otherwise indicated, it is the calendar week that
contains the 12th day of the month, which is called the survey
week. In the establishment survey, the reference week is the
pay period including the 12th, which may or may not correspond directly to the calendar week.
The data in this release are affected by a number of technical
factors, including definitions, survey differences, seasonal adjustments, and the inevitable variance in results between a
survey of a sample and a census of the entire population. Each
of these factors is explained below.
Coverage, deflaltkms and differences between swveys
The sample households in the household survey are selected
so as to reflect the entire civilian noninstitutional population
16 years of age and older. Each person in a household is
classified as employed, unemployed, or not in the labor force.
Those who hold more than one job are classified according to
the job at which they worked the most hours.
People are classified at employed if they did any work at all
as paid civilians; worked in their own business or profession or
on their own farm; or worked IS hours or more in an enterprise operated by a member of their family, whether they were
paid or not. People are also counted as employed if they were
on unpaid leave because of illness, bad weather, disputes between labor and management, or personal reasons. Members
of the Armed Forces stationed in the United States are also included in the employed total.
People are classified as unemployed, regardless of their
eligibility for unemployment benefits or public
assistance, if they meet all of the following criteria: They had
no employment during the survey week; they were available
for work at that time; and they made specific efforts to find
employment sometime during the prior 4 weeks. Abo included
among the unemployed are persons not looking for work
because they were laid off and waiting to be recalled and those
expecting to report to a job within 30 days.
The labor font equals the sum of the number employed and
the number unemployed. The unemployment rale is the
percentage of unemployed people in the labor force (civilian
plus the resident Armed Forces). Table A-5 presents a special




grouping of seven measures of unemployment based on varying definitions of unemployment and the labor force. The
definitions are provided in the table. The most restrictive
definition yields U-l, and the most comprehensive yields U-7.
The overall unemployment rate is U-Sa, while U-5b represents
the same measure with a civilian labor force base.
Unlike the household survey, the establishment survey only
counts wage and salary employees whose names appear on the
payroll records of nonagricultural firms. As a result, there are
many differences between the two surveys, among which are
the following:
— T h e household survey, although based on a smaller sample, reflects a larger segment of the population; the establishment survey excludes agriculture, the self-employed, unpaid
family workers, private household workers, and members of
the resident Armed Forces;
— T h e household survey includes people on unpaid leave
among the employed; the establishment survey does not;
— T h e household survey is limited to those 16 years of age
and older; the establishment survey is not limited by age;
The household survey has no duplication of individuals,
because each individual is counted only once; in the establishment survey, employees working at more than one job or
otherwise appearing on more than one payroll would be
counted separately for each appearance.
Other differences between the two surveys are described in
"Comparing Employment Estimates from Household and
Payroll Surveys," which may be obtained from the BLS upon
request.

Seasonal adjastmeat
Over a course of a year, the size of the Nation's labor force
and the levels of employment and unemployment undergo
sharp fluctuations due to such seasonal events as changes in
weather, reduced or expanded production, harvests, major
holidays, and the opening and closing of schools. For example, the labor force increases by a large number each June,
when schools close and many young people enter the job
market. The effect of such seasonal variation can be very
large; over the course of a year, for example, seasonality may
account for as much as 95 percent of the month-to-momh
changes in unemployment.
Because these seasonal events follow a more or less regular
pattern each year, their influence on statistical trends can be
eliminated by adjusting the statistics from month to month.
These adjustments make nonseasonal developments, such as
declines in economic activity or increases in the participation
of women in the labor force, easier to spot. To return to the
school' s-out example, the large number of people entering the
labor force each June is likely to obscure any other changes
that have taken place since May, making it difficult to determine if the level of economic activity has risen or declined.
However, because the effect of students finishing school in
previous years is known, the statistics for the current year can
be adjusted to allow for a comparable change. Insofar as the
seasonal adjustment is made correctly, the adjusted figure provides a more useful tool with which to analyze changes in
economic activity.
Measures of labor force, employment, and unemployment
contain components such as age and sex. Statistics for all

employees, production workers, average weekly hours, and
average hourly earnings include components based on the
employer's industry. All these statistics can be seasonally adjusted either by adjusting the total or by adjusting each of the
components and combining them. The second procedure
usually yields more accurate information and is therefore
followed by BLS. For example, the seasonally adjusted figure
for the labor force is the sum of eight seasonally adjusted
civilian employment components, plus the resident Armed
Forces total (not adjusted for seasonality), and four seasonally
adjusted unemployment components; the total for unemployment is the sum of the four unemployment components; and
the overall unemployment rate is derived by dividing the
resulting estimate of total unemployment by the estimate of
the labor force.
The numerical factors used to make the seasonal adjustments are recalculated regularly. For the household
survey, the factors are calculated for the January-June period
and again for the July-December period. The January revision
is applied to data that have been published over the previous 5
years. For the establishment survey, updated factors for
seasonal adjustment are calculated only once a year, along
with the introduction of new benchmarks which are discussed
at the end of the next section.
Sampling variability
Statistics based on the household and establishment surveys
are subject to sampling error, that is, the estimate of the
number of people employed and the other estimates drawn
from these surveys probably differ from the figures that would
be obtained from a complete census, even if the same questionnaires and procedures were used. In the household survey, the
amount of the differences can be expressed in terms of standard errors. The numerical value of a standard error depends
upon the size of the sample, the results of the survey, and other
factors. However, (he numerical value is always such that the
chances are 68 out of 100 that an estimate based on the sample
will differ by no more than the standard error from the results
of a complete census. The chances are 90 out of 100 that an
estimate based on the sample will differ by no more than 1.6
times the standard error from the results of a complete census.
At the 90-percent level of confidence-the confidence limits
used by BLS in its anaryses-the error for the monthly change in
total employment is on the order of plus or minus 279,000; for
total unemployment it is 194,000; and, for the overall
unemployment rate, it is 0.19 percentage point. These figures
do not mean that the sample results are off by these

magnitudes but, rather, that the chances are 90 out of 100 that
the " t r u e " level or rate would not be expected to differ from
the estimates bv more than these amounts.
Sampling errors for monthly surveys are reduced when the
data are cumulated for several months, such as quarterly or
annually. Also, as a general rule, the smaller the estimate, the
larger the sampling error. Therefore, relatively speaking, the
estimate of the size of the labor force is subject to less error
than is the estimate of the number unemployed. And, among
the unemployed, the sampling error for the jobless rate of
adult men, for example, is much smaller than is the error for
the jobless rate of teenagers. Specifically, the error on monthly
change in the jobless rate for men is .24 percentage point; for
teenagers, it is 1.06 percentage points.
In the establishment survey, estimates for the 2 most current
months are based on incomplete returns; for this reason, these
estimates are labeled preliminary in the tables. When all the
returns in the sample have been received, the estimates are
revised. In other words, data for the month of September are
published in preliminary form in October and November and
in final form in December. To remove errors that build up
over time, a comprehensive count of the employed is conducted each year. The results of this survey are used to
establish new benchmarks—comprehensive counts of
employment—against which month-to-month changes can be
measured. The new benchmarks also incorporate changes in
the classification of industries and allow for the formation of
new establishments.

Additional statistics and other information
In order to provide a broad view of the Nation's employment situation, BLS regularly publishes a wide variety of data
in this news release. More comprehensive statistics are contained in Employment and Earnings, published each month by
BLS. It is available for $6.00 per issue or $39.00 per year from
the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C.
20204. A check or money order made out to the Superintendent of Documents must accompany all orders.
Employment and Earnings also provides approximations of
the standard errors for the household survey data published in
this release. For unemployment and other labor force
categories, the standard errors appear in tables B through J of
its "Explanatory Notes." Measures of the reliability of the
data drawn from the establishment survey and the actual
amounts of revision due to benchmark adjustments are provided in tables M, O, P, and Q of that publication.
