Prefatory Note
Publication of the 1967 Handbook of Labor Statistics brings together in one volume,
as was last done in 1950, historical series that bear on labor economics and labor insti­
tutions. The coverage is very broad, embracing material not only from the Bureau of
Labor Statistics but also from other offices of the Department of Labor and from
other Departments of Government. In addition, there are series produced b y foreign
governments.
There are 153 tables in all. Each starts at the earliest point in time from which a
continuous, reliable, and consistent series can be carried. Tables are numbered in a
single sequence, but are grouped under readily identifiable headings and subheadings.
A t the beginning of the volume is a section containing brief statements of method and
limitations for each series.
One problem in producing a book of this type is that more recent statistics are
available shortly after publication. W e feel, however, that the major value of the

Handbook will lie in its comprehensiveness. W e hope that publication of new editions
will provide a continuous service for the thousands of persons who require this type of
reference book.
The Handbook was compiled in the Office of Publications, with the cooperation of
the operating divisions of the Bureau, under the direction of T om m y C. Ishee.

The two types of data collection documents

and Form D L

1219 (M onthly Report on Labor Turnover) are
of the “ shuttle” type, with spaces for each month
of the calendar year. The cooperating State
agencies mail the reporting forms to the partici­
pating establishments each month, use the in­
formation to prepare State and area estimates,
and then send the basic data to B L S in W a sh ­
ington for use in preparing national series.
B L S 790 provides for reporting of data on
the number of full- and part-time workers on
the payrolls of nonagricultural establishments
for the pay period which includes the 12th of the
month. For the same period in most industries,
it also provides for reporting data on payroll and
man-hours of production and related workers, or
nonsupervisory workers. The labor turnover re­
porting form provides for the collection of data
on the total number of accessions and separations
that occur during the calendar month.

Concepts and Definitions
Em ploym ent data refer to persons on estab­
lishment payrolls who receive pay for any part
of the reference pay period, and include workers
on paid sick leave (when pay is received directly
from the firm), on paid holiday or paid vacation,

any kind, e.g., for old-age and unemployment in­

tions, and paid sick leave is also included.
Man-hours cover hours worked or paid for,
during the pay period of reference for production,
construction,

or

nonsupervisory

workers.

The

man-hours include hours paid for holidays and
vacations, and for sick leave.
Overtime hours cover premium overtime hours
of production and related workers during the pay
period. Overtime hours are those for which pre­
miums are paid because the hours were in excess
of the number of hours of either the straight-time
workday or workweek.

Average hourly earnings are derived b y dividing
payrolls by man-hours. These averages are on a
“ gross’ ’ basis, reflecting not only changes in basic
hourly and incentive wage rates, but also such"
variable factors as premium pay for overtime
and late-shift work, and changes in output of
workers paid on an incentive plan. The earnings
series do not measure the level of total labor costs
on the part of the employer since the following are
excluded: irregular bonuses, retroactive items,
payment of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes
paid by employers, and earnings for those em­
ployees not covered under the production-worker,
construction-worker, or nonsupervisory-employee
definition.

Average weekly earnings are obtained by multi­
plying average weekly hours by average hourly
earnings. W eekly earnings are affected not only
by changes in gross average hourly earnings, but

Output indexes are based primarily on the

man-hour weights are preferred and used when­

weights which are assumed proportional to unit

are substituted when unit man-hour weights are

such as skills of workers, managerial skills, changes
in technology, capital investment per worker,

and labor-management relations.

The indexes of hourly compensation and unit labor
costs in the private economy were developed from a
man-hours estimate based on the establishment
series, described in the previous sector. Compensa­
tion includes wages and salaries, plus supplemental
payments such as contributions of employers to
social security and private health and pension
funds. The “ all persons” compensation data in­

years, benchmark output indexes are derived
from data for 2 consecutive censuses. For intercensal years, annual indexes are based on either
physical output data or value of output adjusted
for price change. The annual series subsequently
are adjusted to the Census benchmark levels.
Indexes of man-hours are computed by dividing
the aggregate man-hours for each year b y the
base period aggregate. M an-hours are treated as
homogeneous and additive; there is no distinction
made between the hours of different groups of
employees.
Output per man-hour indexes are obtained b y

index has undergone four major revisions, which
involved bringing the “ market basket” of goods
and services up to date, revising the weights, and
improving the sample and methodology. The most
recent revision, incorporated in a new series be­
ginning in 1964, introduced weights relating to
expenditures for the period 1960-61.
The list of items currently priced for the index
includes approximately 400 goods and services.
The items priced are described b y detailed speci­
fications to insure that, as far as possible, the same
quality is priced each time, and that differences in
reported prices are measures of price change only.
Sales taxes are reflected wherever applicable.
Since 1966, prices have been obtained in a
sample of 56 areas,

on a regular monthly

quarterly cycle. These include the urban portions
of 37

industries is not strong enough to permit publi­

Consumer Expenditures
(N ote : Covers tables 117-121)

The 1960-61 information in this series is based
on reports from a representative sample of all
urban and rural families in the United States.
D ata were collected jointly b y the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (B LS) and the U .S. Department
of Agriculture (U S D A ) as part of a nationwide
Survey of Consumer Expenditures (C E S ). The
survey was conducted in 2 years— in 1961, covering
family expenditures and income in urban places
in the calendar year 1960, and in 1962, providing
data on urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm
families for 1961. The C E S classification of families

samples were combined to obtain regional and
U .S . averages. This was accomplished b y applying
a system of weights, based on the 1960 Census of
Population, to the sample data.
Information obtained from a sample survey as
complex as the C E S is subject to m any types of
errors: Sampling, recording, and processing errors,

families to give the information requested. All

The sample, for the total urban and rural
population, included 17,283 living quarter ad­

T he averages and percentages in the accom­

in each class, whether or not they reported receipts
or disbursements for a particular item. Averages
were calculated b y dividing the aggregate amount
of income, expenditures, or savings b y the total
number of families in the class. Since all averages
for a class are based on a common divisor, they
are additive.

reflect not only differences in price levels, but

differences in regional preference patterns in the
choice of food to meet the nutritional standard.1

the estimates have been developed does not permit
distinction between these lump-sum benefits and

Gross National Product and National Income
(N ote: Covers tables 150-152)

Gross National Product
Gross National Product (G N P ) represents the
total national output of goods and services at
current market prices. It measures this output in
terms of the expenditures by which these goods
are acquired. These expenditures are the sum of
four major items: (1) personal consumption ex­
penditures, (2) gross private domestic investment,
(3) net export of goods and services, and (4)
government purchases of goods and services.
The G N P series measures the product attrib­
utable to the factors of production— labor and
property— supplied b y residents of the Nation.
“ Personal consumption expenditures” consists
of the market value of purchases of goods and
services b y persons and nonprofit institutions and
the value of food, clothing, housing, and financial
services received b y them as income in kind. It

of the net acquisitions of fixed capital goods by
private business and nonprofit institutions; in­
cluding commissions arising in the sale and pur­
chase of new and existing fixed assets, principally
real estate; and the value of the change in the
volume of inventories by business. It covers all
private dwellings, including those acquired by
persons for their own occupancy.
“ N et exports of goods and services” measures
the

balance

on

goods

and

services,

excluding

transfers under military grants, as reported in
the U .S. balance of payments statistics.
“ Government purchases of goods and services”
consists of the net purchases of goods and services
by general government and of the gross invest­
ment of government enterprises. General govern­
ment purchases comprises employee compensation
and net purchases from business and from abroad.

Gross National Product in Constant Dollars
The G N P is also “ deflated” or expressed in
dollars of constant purchasing power. The proce­
dure in general is to divide components of the
current dollar G N P by appropriate price indexes,
utilizing as fine a product breakdown as possible,
and then to sum the components to obtain the
constant dollar G N P .
The price information is combined into compos­
ite indexes applicable to the various current
dollar series. W eights for constructing the compos­
ites, approximating expenditures for the products
represented b y the price series, have been obtained
from the detailed industrial censuses. Expenditure
weights in some instances have been broken down
between urban and rural areas in order to incor­
porate priee data of the agricultural marketing
service. Quantity data also are utilized in lieu of
price deflation in a number of instances, most
notably in the case of government employment.
The G N P implicit deflator is computed b y divid­
ing the deflated estimates into the corresponding
current dollar estimates.

“ Corporate profits” is the earnings of corpora­
tions organized for profit which accrue to residents
of this Nation measured before Federal and State
profit taxes, but without deduction of depletion
charges and exclusive of capital gains and losses
and intercorporate dividends.
“ Corporate inventory valuation adjustment”
measures the excess of the value of the change in
the physical volume of corporate inventories
(valued at average prices during the period) over
the change in terms of book values. This adjust­
ment is made to profits to remove the inventory
profit or loss that occurs in business accounting
when the book cost of inventories differs from the
current replacement cost. Valuation in current
prices of the cost of inventories used up puts sales
and costs on a consistent basis and is necessary to
derive measures of national output in current prices.

National Income
National Income is the aggregate of earnings by
labor and property which arise in the current pro­
duction of goods and services by the N ation's
economy. It is the sum of five major items: (1)
compensation of employees,

“ N et interest” measures the excess of interest
payments of the domestic business system over its
interest receipts, plus net interest received from
abroad. In addition to monetary interest flows, net
interest includes imputed interest arising in con­
nection with the operations of financial inter­
mediaries.

(2) proprietors' in­

come, (3) rental income of persons, (4) net interest,
and (5) corporate profits and inventory valuation
adjustment.
“ Compensation of employees” is the sum of
wages, salaries, and supplements to wages and
salaries, such as employer contributions for social
insurance.
“ Proprietors' income” measures the monetary
earnings and income in kind of sole proprietorships
(including doctors, lawyers, and other self-em­
ployed), partnerships and producers' cooperatives,
exclusive of capital gains or losses on inventory or

The national income is a useful measure of the
rate of flow of earnings from current output. B y
definition, it excludes income from the revaluation
of past output— e.g., capital gains and losses. T he
movements of this series correspond with m ove­
ments in production. However, the value of the
national income series lies more in the composition
than in the total. I t m ay mean little to know that
national income (unadjusted for price changes)
has gone u p ; but it m ay be very important to know
the relative contribution of wages and profits to
that increase.
Care must be taken not to interpret movements in
the series as measuring something other than
they are intended to measure. For example, varia­
tions in wages and profits do not necessarily
indicate changes in the welfare of workers or in
the ability of corporations to provide new capital.

Background
Since 1947, the Bureau of the Census has pub­

families and persons 14 years old and over, crossclassified

by

various

social,

demographic,

and

economic characteristics, such as farm-nonfarm
residence, color, age, type and size of family, num­

Total money income.— This is defined as the
algebraic sum of money wages and salaries, net
income from self-employment, and income other
than earnings. The total income of a family is the
algebraic sum of the amounts received b y all in­

Family.— The term “ fam ily” refers to a group
of two persons or more, related b y blood, marriage,
or adoption and residing together; all such persons
are considered as members of the same family.
Color.— The term “ color” refers to the division
of the population into two groups, white and non­

1 N ot strictly comparable with prior years. The introduction of data
from the decennial censuses into the estimation procedure in 1953 and 1962,
and the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii in 1960, have resulted in three periods
of noncomparability: (a) Beginning 1953, as a result of the 1950 census,
population levels were raised b y about 600,000; labor force, total employment,
and agricultural employment b y about 350,000, primarily affecting the
figures for totals and males; other categories were relatively unaffected;

(5) beginning 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii resulted in an in ­
crease of about 500,000 in the population and about 300,000 in the labor force,
four-fifths of this in nonagricultural em ployment; other labor force categories
were not appreciably affected; (c) beginning 1962, the introduction of figures
from the 1960 census reduced the population b y about 50,000, labor force and
employment b y about 200,000; unemployment totals were virtually un­
changed.

1 Includes persons reporting no school years completed.
2 Not strictly comparable with prior years. The introduction of data from
the decennial censuses into the estimation procedure in 1953 and 1962, and
the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii in 1960, have resulted in three periods of
noncomparability: (a) Beginning 1953, as a result of the 1950 census, popula­
tion levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment, and
agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for
totals and males; other categories were relatively unaffected; (b) beginning
1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii resulted in an increase of about




500,000 in the population and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of
this in nonagricultural employment; other labor force categories were not
appreciably affected; (c) beginning 1962, the introduction of figures from the
1960 census reduced the population by about 50,000, labor force and employ­
ment by about 200,000; unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.
3 Data for persons whose educational attainment was not reported were
distributed among the other categories.
4 Not available; data published as percent distribution only.
5 Data by color not available for March 1957.

1 Absolute numbers by color are not available prior to 1954 because popula­
tion controls by color were not introduced into the C u r r e n t P o p u la t io n S u r v e y
until that year.
2 Not strictly comparable with prior years. The introduction of data
from the decennial censuses into the estimation procedure in 1953 and 1962,
and the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii in 1960, have resulted in three periods
of noncomparability: (a) Beginning 1953, as a result of the 1950 census,
population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment,
and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the

T A B LE 12.

figures for totals and males; other categories were relatively unaffected;
(6) beginning 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii resulted in an in­
crease of about 500,000 in the population and about 300,000 in the labor force,
four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment; other labor force categories
were not appreciably affected; (c) beginning 1962, the introduction of figures
from the 1960 census reduced the population by about 50,000, labor force and
employment by about 200,000; unemployment totals were virtually un­
changed.

1 Not strictly comparable with prior years. The introduction of data from
the decennial censuses into the estimation procedure in 1953 and 1962, and the
inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii in 1960, have resulted in three periods of noncomparability: (a ) Beginning 1953, as a result of the 1950 census, population
levels were raised about 600,000; labor force, total employment, and agricul­
tural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for totals
and males; other categories were relatively unaffected; (6) beginning 1960,

the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii resulted in an increase of about 500,000
in the population and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of this in
nonagricultural employment; other labor force categories were not appreci­
ably affected; (c) beginning 1962, the introduction of figures from the 1960
census reduced the population by about 50,000, labor force and employment
by about 200,000; unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.

1 The number of men in husband-wife families shown here is smaller than
the number shown as married with spouse present in other tables because it
excludes married couples living in households where a relative is the head.
2 Not strictly comparable with prior years. The introduction of data from
the decennial censuses into the estimation procedure in 1953 and 1962, and the
inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii in 1960, have resulted in three periods of
noncomparability: (a) Beginning 1953, as a result of the 1950 census, popula­
tion levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment, and
agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for
totals and males; other categories were relatively unaffected; (6) beginning
1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii resulted in an increase of about

46



500,000 in the population and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths of
this in nonagricultural employment; other labor force categories were not
appreciably affected; (c) beginning 1962, the introduction of figures from the
1960 census reduced the population by about 50,000, labor force and employ­
ment by about 200,000; unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.
3 Data for 1955 not strictly comparable with later years.
4 Includes members of the Armed Forces living off post or with their
families on post.
5 This category may also include a wife or other member who is
unemployed.

4 Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1959 and are therefore not
strictly comparable with earlier years. For 1959 this inclusion resulted in
an increase of about 300,000 in the total who worked during the year, with
about 150,000 in the group working 50 to 52 weeks at full-time jobs.

i Not strictly comparable with prior years. The introduction of data from
the decennial censuses into the estimation procedure in 1953 and 1962, and
the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii in 1960, have resulted in three periods
of noncomparability: (a) Beginning 1953, as a result of the 1950 census,
population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment,
and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the
figures for totals and males; other categories were relatively unaffected;

(6 ) beginning 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii resulted in an in­
crease of about 500,000 in the population and about 300,000 in the Labor force,
four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment; other labor force categories
were not appreciably affected; (c) beginning 1962, the introduction of figures
from the 1960 census reduced the population by about 50,000, labor force and
employment by about 2 0 0 ,0 0 0 ; unemployment totals were virtually un­
changed.

tion payments made directly to the worker each pay period) or maximum
schedule of hours agreed upon through collective bargaining between trade
unions and employers. Rates in excess of the negotiated minimum, which
may be paid for special qualifications or other reasons, are not included.

1 The scales represent the minimum wage rates (excluding holiday and
vacation payments regularly made or credited to the worker each pay period)
agreed upon through collective bargaining between employers and trade
unions.
2 The early studies included cities of less than 100,000 population. Since
1963, only cities of 100,000 population or more are represented.
3 The averages in the book and job tabulation include rates for the semi­
skilled-bindery women and press assistants and feeders—as well as the




highly skilled journeymen, composing room and pressroom workers, and
others. The number of semiskilled workers organized in a city may have
influence on the average for the city.
4 The averages shown for dr ivers and helpers are based on all scales reported
for these workers. Helpers were not reported for all truck classifications, and
these averages do not reflect or indicate the scale differential between drivers
and helpers in a particular city.
5 The data relate to October 1.

W holesale Price Indexes Annual Averages, 1 9 2 6 -6 6 / and Monthly 1 96 5 -6 6

N o t e : The classification scheme of the Wholesale Price Index which had been in effect since January 1952, was
revised in January 1967. Titles, composition, and code numbers for some of the grouping indexes were changed. For a
description of these changes, see Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes , January 1967 (final) and February 1967 (final).
Code numbers, titles, and indexes in this table are comparable with data published in the monthly report, Wholesale
Prices and Price Indexes , beginning with the final report for January 1967, and may differ from data published earlier in
other sources.

Footnotes to table 119
1 The family, or consumer unit, is a group of people usually living together
who pooled their incomes and drew from a common fund for their major items
of expense or as a person living alone or in a household with others, but who
was financially independent.
2 The CES classification by urbanization of place of residence follows the
definitions adopted for the 1960 Census of Population. The urban segment
comprises all persons living in incorporated or unincorporated places of
2,500 population or more and in the densely settled (urbanized) areas immedi­
ately adjacent to cities of 50,000 population or more. The rural population,
located outside these urban areas, is subdivided into the rural-farm popula­
tion, which comprises all rural residents living on farms, and the rural-nonfarm population, which comprises the remaining rural population. A farm,
according to the 1960 census, is a place of 10 acres or more from which the sale
of crops, livestock products, etc. (and/or government farm program pay­
ments) amounted to $50 or more; or a place of less than 10 acres with sales
(and/or payments) of $250 or more. A dwelling is not considered to be on a
farm if rent is paid for the dwelling alone (i.e., if the dwelling is rented sepa­
rately from the farm).
3 Total money income during the survey year of all family members from
wages and salaries (including tips and bonuses) after deductions for such
occupational expenses as tools, special required equipment, and union dues;
net income from self-employment (including farming); and income other
than earnings such as net rents, interest, dividends, social security benefits,
pensions, disability insurance, trust funds, small gifts of cash, regular con­
tributions for support, public assistance, or other governmental payments.
The value of two nonmoney items—food and housing received as pay—was
counted as money income and as expenditures. Farm income was adjusted
for change in inventory of crops and livestock. The value of home-produced
food did not enter into the computation of income.
4 The algebraic sum of increases and decreases in assets and liabilities.
Net increases in assets or decreases in liabilities represent a net saving (+ )
during a survey year. Net decreases in assets or increases in liabilities rep­
resent a deficit (—) or net dissaving.

T A B LE 120.

6
In general, the average was based on a count of family members who were
employed 48 weeks or more in the survey year, and for 35 hours or more per
week in wage and salary occupations. The minimum hours requirement did
not apply to self-employed workers in a profession or an unincorporated
business (including a farm), and all farm operators were counted as full-time
earners if they operated the farm throughout the year.
6 A statistical measure of the net reporting discrepancy of the receipts and
disbursements accounts. If reported receipts are less than disbursements,
the balancing difference is negative ( —).
7 Personal insurance includes employee contributions to social security
and government and private retirment funds, as well as premium payments
for life and other types of personal insurance, except health insurance. The
family’s outlays for personal insurance are shown separately as a disburse­
ment and do not enter into the computation of net change in assets and lia­
bilities, i.e., average saving or dissaving.
8 Expenditures for current consumption include outlays for all goods and
services purchased for family use. The total cost of durable goods purchased
in the year is included, except for owned homes where only the costs of current
operation, i.e., interest on mortgages, taxes, insurance and repairs and replace­
ments, are considered current consumption expenditures. Payments on
mortgage principal and installment debts are considered as reductions in
liabilities, i.e., saving in the current year. Mortgage and installment debts
incurred in the year are considered as dissaving.

Percent of expenditures

A statistical measure of the net reporting discrepancy of the receipts and
disbursements accounts. In this table, the balancing difference is obtained
by subtracting current consumption expenditures, gifts and contributions,
personal insurance, and the net change in assets and liabilities from the sum
of money income after taxes and other money receipts. If reported receipts
are less than disbursements (including savings or dissavings), the balancing

1 The number of stoppages and workers relate to those stoppages beginning
in the year; average duration, not computed until 1927, relates to stoppages
ending in the year. Man-days of idleness, also not obtained until 1927, includes
all stoppages in effect.
2 The number of workers involved in some strikes which occurred between
1916 and 1926 is not known. However, the missing information is for the
smaller disputes and it is believed that the total given is fairly accurate.

1 Stoppages extending into 2 industry groups or more have been counted
in each industry affected; workers involved and man-days idle were allocated
to the respective groups.
2 Excludes government and agriculture.
3 Not available.
* Less than 0.005 percent.
3Man-days of employment in the primary metal industries group during
the steel strike have been computed on the basis of average employment
throughout the affected months, rather than on the usual basis of employment
in the pay period ending nearest the fifteenth of each month. In July, employ­
ment in primary metals was 1,266,000 in the pay period ending the fifteenth,

and was presumed to be 778,000 during the second half of the month. In
November, employment was 1,196,000 in the pay period ending nearest the
fifteenth, and was presumed to hold at this level in the last 3 weeks of the
month, but was reduced by 476,000 in the first week of the month, during
which time the steel strike was in progress.
If the percentage of time lost were calculated on the basis of ratio of time
lost to time worked plus time lost, the percentages would have been 12.12
in primary metal industries and 1.33 in the manufacturing group.

Municipally operated utilities are included in transportation, communi­
cation, and other public utilities.

N o te : In so far as possible, the population estimates include national
Armed Forces and diplomatic personnel and their dependents stationed
outside the territory, and exclude alien Armed Forces, enemy prisoners of
war, and alien diplomatic personnel and their dependants stationed inside
the country.
The labor force data refer to the total of employed persons (including selfemployed persons, wage and salary workers, and unpaid family workers)
and unemployed persons, to the extent data are available. However, the
figures are often not comparable because of differences between countries in
the definitions used and methods of collection, e.g., differences in the mini­
mum age for inclusion in the labor force; the extent to which family workers
are included; the extent to which unemployed persons are included (par­
ticularly inexperienced new entrants into the labor force, who are frequently
excluded from census data); and whether the count of persons in the labor
force is based on usual employment status or actual status as of a particular
day or other brief time period. The count of workers in agriculture is especially
affected by the extent to which family workers are included and whether
the count is based on usual or actual status. For similar reasons, the data for
individual countries may not be comparable from one period to another,
especially when the data are based on different sources, such as a census and
a labor force survey.
