Explanatory Note
Discouraged Workers
The number of discouraged workers rose by 160,000 in the second quarter t o a high of 1.5
m i l l i o n , continuing an upward trend that began p r i o r t o the 1980 r e c e s s i o n . Discouraged workers
are persons who report that they want work but are not looking for jobs because they believe
they cannot find any.
As has been t y p i c a l l y the case, women and blacks accounted for
disproportionately large shares of the discouraged t o t a l . (See table A - l l . )
Industry Payroll Employment
Total n onagri c u l t u r a l payroll employment rose l e s s than seasonally in June and, a f t e r
adjustment for s e a s o n a l i t y , declined by 140,000 t o 90.0 m i l l i o n . The number of nonfarm jobs had
been unchanged in May but otherwise has dropped s t e a d i l y since l a s t J u l y .
June employment
declines were widespread, as employment gains occurred in only one-third of the 186 i n d u s t r i e s
comprising the BLS diffusion index of p r i v a t e n onagri c u l t u r a l payroll employment.
(See t a b l e s
ii-1 and B-6.)
The l a r g e s t over-the-month decline occurred in manufacturing, where employment f e l l by
140,000. In the durable goods s e c t o r , almost half of the 80,000 decrease was in machinery. Job
losses in that industry have t o t a l e d 200,000 since l a s t September.
Employment in fabricated
metal products ., and primary metal i n d u s t r i e s a l s o continued t o d e c l i n e . Among the nondurable
goods i n d u s t r i e s , the l a r g e s t job cutback took place in t e x t i l e s , continuing i t s long-term
downtrend; there was a l s o a s i z e a b l e over-the-month decline in food processing. Elsewhere in
the goods-producing s e c t o r , construction employment f e l l by 40,000, i n part the r e s u l t of a
s t r i k e ; mining was down by 25,000, the r e s u l t of further reductions in o i l and gas e x t r a c t i o n .
In the service-producing s e c t o r , State and local government employment rose by 85,000,
seasonally adjusted, as an e a r l y survey reference week served t o l i m i t the extent of summer
reductions in l o c a l education employment. Transportation and public u t i l i t i e s f e l l by 25,000,
centered in the a i r l i n e i n d u s t r y . Employment in t r a d e ; s e r v i c e s ; and finance, insurance, and
real e s t a t e were a l l about unchanged in June; t r a d e had r i s e n sharply in May, while services and
finance have shown l i t t l e growth in recent months.
Hours of Work
The average workweek of production or nonsupervisory workers on p r i v a t e n o n a g r i c u l t u r a l
payrolls edged down 0.1 hour in June t o 34.8 hours, seasonally a d j u s t e d . The manufacturing
workweek was unchanged at 39.1 h o u r s , while factory overtime edged up t o 2.4 hours. (See t a b l e
B-2.) The index of aggregate weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory workers on p r i v a t e
nonfarm payrolls declined by 0.6 percent t o 105.0 (1977=100). The manufacturing index f e l l by
0.4 percent t o 88.8 and was about 11 percent below l a s t J u l y ' s index. (See table B-5.)
Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Although average hourly earnings edged up by 0.1 percent in June, the smill decline in the
workweek caused weekly earnings t o f a l l 0.2 p e r c e n t , seasonally a d j u s t e d . Before adjustment for
s e a s o n a l i t y , average hourly earnings were down one cent over the month t o $7.62, 42 cents above
a year e a r l i e r .
Weekly earnings were up $1.18 in June and $11.82 over the past year. (See
table B-3.)
The Hourly Earnings Index
The Hourly Earnings Index (IIEI) was 147.9 (1977=100) in June, seasonally adjusted,
0.2
percent higher than in May. For the 12 months ended in June, the Increase (before seasum I
adjustment) was 6.9 p e r c e n t . The HEI excludes the e f f e c t s of two types of changes -mrelatoJ I.
underlying wage r a t e movements—fluctuations in overtime in manufacturing and i n t e r i n d u s t r y
employment s h i f t s . In d o l l a r s of constant purchasing power, the HEI increased 0.H percent
during the 12-month period ended in May. (See t a b l e B-4.)
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
177,000 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, definitions and differences between surveys
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 as 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 15 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.
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. Also 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 civilian labor force equals the sum of the number
employed and the number unemployed. The unemployment rate is the percentage of unemployed people in the
civilian labor force. Table A-4 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 official unemployment rate
isU-5.
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:
-—The 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, and private
household workers;
-—The household survey includes people on unpaid
leave among the employed; the establishment survey
does not;
-—The 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 fro n the BLS upon request.
Seasonal adjustment
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-month 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 schooPs-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 civilian 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 civilian labor force is the sum of eight
seasonally adjusted employment components and four
seasonally adjusted unemployment components; the
total for unemployment is the sum of the four
unemployment components; and the official unemployment rate is derived by dividing the resulting estimate of
total unemployment by the estimate of the civilian 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, the 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 analyses~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 "true" level
or rate would not be expected to differ from the
estimates by 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 $3.75
per issue or $31.00 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.
