Prefatory Note
The Handbook of Labor Statistics 1968 makes available in one volume
the major series produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and related
series from other governmental agencies and foreign countries. It replaces
the 1967 edition.
In general, the tables start at the earliest time from which a continuous,
reliable, and consistent series can be carried. Organization of the data does
not necessarily follow the traditional program lines of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. Instead, the data are grouped under subject matter headings
having economic significance without regard to the surveys or studies from
which the information was developed. Thus, manpower data may be found
under Labor Force, Employment, and Unemployment, but Employment, for
example, covers data from the “Current Population Survey” programs, the
“Current Employment and Labor turnover Statistics programs,” “Farm
Employment and Wage Rates,” “Government Employment,” “Apprentices
in Training,” and “Manpower Development and Training,” programs. The
Technical Notes, which describe the programs, list the tables in which data
from each program are included.
The Handbook was compiled in the Office of Publications, with the
cooperation of the operating divisions of the Bureau. The materials were
assembled by James A. McCall, under the direction of Tommy C. Ishee.

Technical Notes
Current Population Survey
(N ote: Covers tables 1-32 and 49-59)

Collection and Coverage

Statistics on the employment status of the
population; the personal, occupational, and other
characteristics of the employed, the unemployed,
and persons not in the labor force; and related
data are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of
the Census in its Current Population Survey
(CPS). A detailed description of this survey
appears in “Concepts and Methods Used in Man­
power Statistics from the Current Population
Survey,” BLS Report 313, available from BLS
on request.
These monthly surveys of the population are
conducted using a scientifically selected sample
designed to represent the civilian noninstitutional
population 16 years of age and over. Respondents
are interviewed to obtain information about the
employment status of each member of the house­
hold 16 years of age and over. The inquiry relates
to activity or status during the calendar week,
Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th
of the month. This is known as the survey week.
Actual field interviewing is conducted in the
following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 16
years of age are not covered in the regular monthly
enumerations and are excluded from the popula­
tion and labor force statistics. Data on members
of the Armed Forces, who are included as part of
the categories “total noninstitutional population”
and “total labor force,” are obtained from the
Department of Defense.
Concepts

Employed persons comprise: (a) all those who,
during the survey week, worked at all as paid
employees, in their own business or profession or
on their own farm, or who worked 15 hours or
more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated
by a family member; and (b) all those who were
not working but who had jobs or businesses from




which they were temporarily absent because of
illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management
dispute, or personal reasons, whether or not they
were paid by their employers for the time off, and
whether or not they were seeking other jobs.
Each employed person is counted only once.
Those who held more than one job are counted in
the job at which they worked the greatest number
of hours during the survey week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of
foreign countries, temporarily in the United States,
who are not living on the premises of an Embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity con­
sisted of work around the house (such as own home
housework, and painting or repairing own home)
or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and
similar organizations.

Unemployed persons comprise all persons who
did not work during the survey week, who made
specific efforts to find a job within the past 4
weeks, and who were available for work during
the survey week. Also included as unemployed are
those who did not work at all, were available for
work, and (a) were waiting to be called back to a
job from which they had been laid off; (b) were
waiting to report to a new wage or salary job
within 30 days; or (c) would have been looking
for work except that they were temporarily ill.

Duration of unemployment represents the
length of time (through the end of the current
survey week) during which persons classified as
unemployed had been continuously looking for
work. For persons on layoff, duration of unem­
ployment represents the number of full weeks
since the termination of their most recent em­
ployment. A period of 2 weeks or more during
which a person was employed or ceased looking
for work breaks the continuity of the present
period of seeking work. Average duration is an
arithmetic mean computed from a distribution by
single weeks of unemployment.
The civilian labor force comprises the total of
all civilians classified as employed or unemployed
1

in accordance with the criteria described above.
The “total labor force” includes members of the
Armed Forces stationed either in the United States
or abroad.

The unemployment rate represents the number
unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force.
This measure can be computed also for groups
within the labor force, classified by sex, age,
marital status, color, etc.
Not in the labor force includes all civilians 16
years of age and over who are not classified as
employed or unemployed. These persons are
further classified as “engaged in own home house­
work,” “in school,” “unable to work” because of
long-term physical or mental illness, and “other.”
The “other” group includes for the most part
retired persons, those reported as too old to work,
the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for
whom the survey week fell in an “off” season and
who were not reported as unemployed. Persons
doing only incidental unpaid family work (less
than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the
labor force.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for
the employed apply to the job held in the survey
week. Persons with two jobs or more are classified
in the job at which they worked the greatest
number of hours during the survey week. The
unemployed are classified according to their latest
full-time civilian job lasting 2 weeks or more.
The occupation and industry groups used in data
derived from the CPS household interviews are
defined in the 1960 Census of Population. Infor­
mation on the detailed categories included in these
groups is available upon request.
The class-of-worker breakdown specifies “wage
and salary workers,” subdivided into private and
government workers, “self-employed workers,”
and “unpaid family workers.” Wage and salary
workers receive wages, salaries, commissions, tips,
or pay in kind from a private employer or from a
governmental unit. Self-employed persons are
those who work for profit or fees in their own
business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.
Unpaid family workers are persons working with­
out pay for 15 hours a week or more on a farm or
in a business operated by a member of the house­
hold to whom they are related by blood or mar­
riage.
Hours of work statistics relate to the actual
number of hours worked during the survey week.
For example, a person who normally works 40
2




hours a week but who was off on the Veterans Day
holiday would be reported as working 32 hours
even though he was paid for the holiday.
For persons working in more than one job, the
figures relate to the number of hours worked in all
jobs during the week. However, all the hours are
credited to the major job.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the
survey week are designated as working “full
time;” persons who worked between 1 and 34
hours are designated as working “part time.”
Part-time workers are classified by their usual
status at their present job (either full time or part
time) and by their reason for working part time
dining the survey week (economic or other
reasons). “Economic reasons” include slack work,
material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment,
start or termination of job during the week, and
inability to find full-time work. “Other reasons”
include labor disputes, bad weather, own illness,
vacations, demands of home housework, school, no
desire for full-time work, and full-time worker only
during peak season. Persons on full-time schedules
include, in addition to those working 35 hours or
more, those who worked from 1 to 34 hours for
noneconomic reasons but usually work full time.
The full-time labor force consists of persons
working on full-time schedules, persons involun­
tarily working part time (because full-time work
is not available), and unemployed persons seeking
full-time jobs. The part-time labor force consists
of persons working part time voluntarily and
unemployed persons seeking part-time work.
Persons with a job but not at work during the
survey week are classified according to whether
they usually work full or part time.
The lower age limit for official statistics on
employment, unemployment, and other manpower
concepts was raised from 14 to 16 years of age in
January 1967. Insofar as possible, the historical
series have been revised to provide consistent
labor force information based on the population
age 16 and over. Where this has not been possible,
data for the population age 14 and over have been
provided, with two banks of data for the year 1966,
containing both population groups.
In addition to changes on the lower age limit,
improvements in the methods of measuring em­
ployment and unemployment were also introduced
in January 1967. The changes in definitions and
procedures adopted have increased the accuracy
of the statistics and have clarified underlying

concepts but have not substantially altered them.
These changes have had no perceptible effect on
the historical series for the estimates of total
and civilian labor force; for total, agricultural,
and nonagricultural employment; and for age-sex
and occupational breakdowns. However, for some
analytical purposes, the changes in definition and
procedures have affected the comparability be­
tween 1967 and earlier data. Specifically, they
have tended to: (1) increase the number of
workers on parttime, either voluntarily or for
economic reasons, and reduce the number working
35 hours or more; (2) reduce the number of non­

farm self-employed persons and increase the
number of wage and salary workers; (3) alter the
distribution of unemployment by sex, reducing it
for adult males and teenagers and raising it for
adult females; (4) reduce the number of workers
unemployed 15 weeks or longer; and (5) reduce
the number of unemployed persons seeking full­
time work. For more information on the changes
introduced in January 1967, see “New Definitions
for Employment and Unemployment,” reprinted
from the February 1967 Employment and Earnings
and Monthly Report on the Labor Force, which is
available from the BLS on request.

Current Employment and Labor Turnover Statistics Programs
(N ote: Covers tables 33-39, 42-46, 63-67, 79-83, and 86, 86)

Data from payroll records, submitted volun­
tarily by over 150,000 employers, provide (1)
current information on wage and salary employ­
ment, hours, and earnings in nonagricultural
establishments, and (2) labor turnover in manu­
facturing, by industry and geographic location.
These statistical programs are conducted by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation with
State agencies.
Collection

The two types of data collection documents
used, Form BLS 790 (Monthly Report on Em­
ployment, Payroll, and Hours) and Form DL
1219 (Monthly 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 BLS in Wash­
ington for use in preparing national series.
BLS 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

Employment 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,
and those who work during a part of the pay
period and are unemployed or on strike during the
rest of the period. Proprietors, the self-employed,
unpaid family workers, farm workers, and domes­
tic workers in households are excluded. Govern­
ment employment covers civilian employees only.
Hours and earnings data are derived from re­
ports of payrolls and man-hours for production
and related workers in manufacturing and mining,
construction workers in contract construction,
and nonsupervisory employees in the remaining
nonfarm components.
The payroll figures relate to full- and part-time
production, construction, or nonsupervisory work­
ers who receive pay for any part of the reference
period. They are reported before deductions of
any kind, e.g., for old-age and unemployment in­
surance, group insurance, withholding tax, bonds,
or union dues. Pay for overtime, holidays, vaca­
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
3

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 by 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. Weekly earnings are affected not only
by changes in gross average hourly earnings, but
also by changes in the length of the workweek,
part-time work, stoppages for varying causes,
labor turnover, and absenteeism.
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage
and salary workers into and out of employed
status with respect to individual establishments.
This movement, relating to a calendar month, is
divided into two broad types: Accessions (new
hires and rehires) and Separations (quits, layoffs
and other separations). Each type of turnover
action is expressed as a rate per hundred em­
ployees. The data relate to all employees, whether
full or part time, permanent or temporary, produc­
tion or nonproduction workers.
Benchmark Adjustments

Periodically the industry employment series are
adjusted to recent benchmarks (comprehensive
counts of employment) to improve their accuracy.
These adjustments may also affect the hours,
earnings, and labor turnover series since employ­
ment levels are used as weights. Industry data for
all national series in this edition of the Handbook
have been adjusted to March 1966 benchmarks.
Consequently, data from April 1966 forward are
subject to revision at the time of the next bench­
mark adjustment. Data shown for the individual
4




States are also subject to revision at the time the
cooperating State agencies adjust their series to
later benchmarks.
Uses of Data

The statistics from these surveys are used widely
as timely indicators of changes in economic
activity. The turnover rates are valuable for
personnel and economic planning; employers
frequently use these rates as a yardstick against
which to measure the performance of their plants.
Firms negotiating long-term supply or construc­
tion contracts often utilize series on average
hourly earnings as an aid in arriving at an equita­
ble agreement. Both labor and business use the
series on hourly earnings and weekly hours in
labor-management negotiations. The promptness
with which the information is supplied makes it
possible to incorporate the estimates in a number
of other Federal statistical series, particularly in
making current estimates of production, pro­
ductivity, and national income. The data also are
useful as a basis for projection of trends in man­
power requirements.
Comparability With Other Series

Total employment in nonagricultural establish­
ments from the “payroll” survey is not directly
comparable with the Bureau’s estimates of non­
agricultural employment obtained from the monthly
“household” survey (Current Population Sur­
vey). The household survey includes the selfemployed, unpaid family workers, and private
household workers and is basically a count of
persons. The payroll series, in contrast, excludes
these workers and is basically a count of jobs.
Thus, the multiple job-holder, counted only once
in the household survey, would be counted once
for each job by the payroll survey. Employment
estimates developed by quinquennial censuses
may differ from payroll estimates due, primarily,
to the reporting practices of multiproduct estab­
lishments, and administrative handling of central
offices and auxiliary units.
For a more detailed description of these pro­
grams see Chapter 2, Employment, Hours, and
Earnings, and Chapter 3, Labor Turnover, of the
Handbook of Methods for Surveys and Studies,

Wage and Salary Surveys
(N ote: Covers tables 68, 69, 73-78, 84, 87-93, and 136, 137)

Industry wage surveys are undertaken in about
50 manufacturing and 20 nonmanufacturing indus­
tries on a recurring 3- to 5-year cycle; the majority
of industries are surveyed at 5-year intervals. The
studies provide information on straight-time
earnings, as defined below, for selected production
occupations peculiar to the particular industry.
Data for some surveys are limited to areas of
industry concentration; others include nationwide
and regional data.
The studies include information on such estab­
lishment practices and related pay provisions as
weekly work schedules; shift operations and
differentials; the prevalence of paid holidays and
vacations; health, insurance, and pension benefits;
and other provisions important in the industry.
To provide some insight into wage relationships,
estimates are made of such employment charac­
teristics as community and establishment size;
labor-management agreement coverage, where the
majority of workers in an establishment are
covered by an agreement; the proportion of
workers employed under incentive pay plans, if
significant numbers are employed under such
plans; and the extent to which single rates or
ranges of rates are provided for individual job
categories.
Area wage surveys are undertaken annually in
selected metropolitan areas to provide information
on straight-time earnings, as defined below, in
occupations common to a variety of manufacturing
and nonmanufacturing industries. Data also are
provided on establishment practices and supple­
mentary wage provisions. These studies are part
of a program designed to permit projection of these
data to represent all metropolitan areas in the
United States. In fiscal year 1965-66, approxi­
mately 12,800 establishments employing about
8.886.000 workers were included in the Bureau’s
sample of 84 areas. They were projected to repre­
sent 69,500 establishments employing about
19.122.000 workers in all 221 Standard Metro­
politan Statistical Areas in the United States, as
established by the Bureau of the Budget through
March 1965. The data are shown also for four
broad regions—Northeast, South, North Central,
and West.
Area survey data are obtained from representa­
tive establishments within six broad industry
295-030 O— 68-




-2

divisions: (1) Manufacturing; (2) transportation,
communication, and other public utilities; (3)
wholesale trade; (4) retail trade; (5) finance,
insurance, and real estate; and (6) selected
services. Excluded from the scope of the studies
are the construction and extractive industries and
government institutions. The latter exclusion has
a significant effect on the public utilities industry
division. Municipally operated utilities are ex­
cluded, but utilities are included in areas where
they are operated privately.
The scope of the studies generally is limited,
within each of the six major industry groupings, to
establishments which employ 50 workers or more.
Smaller establishments are omitted because em­
ployment in the occupations studied tends to be
insufficient to warrant inclusion.
White-collar salaries are studied annually in a
national survey of the level and distribution of
straight-time earnings, as defined below, in selected
professional, administrative, technical, and clerical
occupations in private employment. The industry
divisions covered are manufacturing; transporta­
tion, communication, electric, gas, and sanitary
services; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance,
insurance, and real estate; engineering and
architectural services; and commercially operated
research, development, and testing laboratories.
Information is provided for a wide range of work
levels in accounting, legal services, office services,
personnel management, engineering and chemistry,
drafting, and clerical occupations. Beginning in
1965, the studies relate to establishments in non­
metropolitan counties in addition to those in
metropolitan areas, to which the earlier surveys
were limited. In the period 1961-65, establish­
ments employing 250 workers or more were covered
in all industries within scope of the survey. In
1966, the 250 establishment-size coverage was
retained for manufacturing and retail trade, but
lowered to 50 in finance, insurance, and real estate,
and to 100 in all other industries studied.
Union wage scales and hours for selected journey­
men, helper, and laborer classifications are studied
annually in four highly unionized industries—
building construction, local transit, local trucking,
and printing. The number of cities surveyed has
varied over the years from 39 to the present cover­
age of 68 cities with 100,000 population or more.
5

All cities of 500,000 population or more, and most
cities in the 250,000 to 500,000 group, are now in­
cluded in the surveys.
The data relate to the basic (minimum) wage
rates agreed upon through collective bargaining,
exclusive of holiday, vacation, or other benefit
payments, and to the maximum number of hours
per week at straight-time rates. Rates in excess of
the negotiated minimum, that may be paid for
special qualifications or other reasons, are excluded
from the studies.
The average hourly union wage rates provided
by city in building construction and trucking since
1947, and in printing and local transit since 1949,
are calculated by weighting each quotation for the
year by the number of union members reported
at that time as working or available for work.
Unlike the index series, the averages do not
measure the trend of union wage rates, but are
designed to provide comparisons among trades and
cities at a given time.

Distributions oj employee earnings and hours are
prepared periodically to provide information on
the internal structure of wages and hours of all
nonsupervisory employees in selected broad indus­
try groups or specific industries, and in selected
areas, usually on a cross-industry basis. The data
relate to straight-time hourly earnings, as defined
below, and weekly hours of work, including those
leave hours (holidays, vacations, or sick leave)
for which pay is received.
Straight-time earnings.—(Industry wage surveys,

area wage surveys, white-collar salary surveys,
union wage scale surveys, earnings distribution
surveys).
Unless otherwise indicated, the data relate to
the regular day-shift wages or salaries paid per
hour worked or standard workweek, exclusive of
premium pay for overtime and for work on week­
ends, holidays, and late shifts. Incentive pay,
production bonuses, and cost-of-living payments

are included in earnings, but nonproduction
bonuses (e.g., Christmas bonuses) are not.
Straight-time earnings thus are reflected in the
index measures and interarea pay comparisons.
Supplementary wage provisions.—(Industry wage
surveys, area wage surveys, white-collar salary
surveys).
Estimates of the prevalence of the selected
provisions are derived by applying the particular
provision to all plant and office workers of an
establishment when the provision was applicable
to a majority of those workers. The data, there­
fore, do not provide estimates of the percentage of
workers affected by a particular provision, but
rather the percentage that could be affected if
specified qualifications, such as length of service,
were met. Paid vacations.—The data are limited
to basic plans and exclude such plans as vacation
savings or those which offer “extended” or
“sabbatical” benefits. Holidays.—Partial holidays
are combined (8 half-holidays equal 4 days, etc.).
Health, insurance, and retirement plans.—The data
relate only to those plans not legally required and
for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the
employer.
Regions.—(Industry wage surveys, area wage
surveys). Unless otherwise indicated, the regions
are defined as follows:
Northeast—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsyl­
vania, Rhode Island, and Vermont; South—
Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Colum­
bia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary­
land, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and
West Virginia; North Central—Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota,
and Wisconsin; West—Arizona, California, Colo­
rado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,
Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

Employer Expenditures for the Compensation of Employees
(N ote: Covers tables 94-99)

The first studies of employer expenditures for
employee compensation were undertaken in 1959,
and related to manufacturing industries. The
program is now designed to cover all employees
in the total private nonfarm sector.
The studies relate to cash disbursements of
employers during a calendar year. The expendi6




ture data are presented as a percent of compensa­
tion, in cents per hour paid for, and in cents per
plant hour, for all establishments, and for estab­
lishments that actually had an expenditure
during the survey year. The major elements of
compensation in American industry are con­
sidered to be covered by the expenditure practices

studied. The expenditures fall into two broad
groups: payments made directly to workers, and
employer expenditures made in addition to pay­
roll. Payments to workers include straight-time
pay for time worked and supplementary payments
for paid leave time; premiums for overtime,
weekend, holiday and shift work; non-production
bonuses; and terminal payments. Expenditures
in addition to payroll are those for which the
employer irrevocably makes a payment under the

provisions of a legally-required insurance program
or private welfare plan; e.g., social security,
unemployment compensation, workmen's com­
pensation, and other insurance for the benefit
of the workers, required by law; life, accident,
and health insurance; pension and retirement
plans; vacation and holiday funds; severance and
supplemental unemployment benefit plans; and
savings and thrift plans.

Productivity

(N ote: Covers tables 70-72)

The measures of output per man-hour in the
private economy refer to the ratio between constant-

dollar gross national product (GNP) originating
in the private sector of the economy or individual
sectors, and the corresponding hours of all persons
employed.
Two series of output per man-hour estimates
have been developed. One series is based on labor
force data from surveys of households, conducted
by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. The other series is based primarily
on BLS surveys of establishments.
The output measure (GNP) used in preparing
both series represents the market value (in 1958
dollars) of final goods and services produced in the
economy. It includes the purchases of goods and
services by consumers, business establishments,
foreign investors, and the various government
agencies. The GNP data are prepared by the
Office of Business Economics, U.S. Department
of Commerce.
As mentioned above, two sets of estimates of
labor input have been developed. The labor force
series uses an hours worked concept, and excludes
hours of persons employed but not at work due to
vacations, illness, and other reasons. The estab­
lishment series is based on an hours paid concept
and includes the hours of all persons on establish­
ment payrolls in the private economy.
In developing both the labor force and estab­
lishment man-hour series, it was necessary to
adjust and supplement the basic data. For the
labor force series, two major adjustments were
made as follows: General government hours were
subtracted from total man-hours to make output
and input measures consistent, and an adjustment
was made to eliminate the effect of holidays which
occur during the survey week; for the establish­




ment series, data from the labor force reports and
national income series were used to supplement
the BLS payroll series data.
These measures relate output to man-hours and
to employment. They do not reflect the specific
contributions of labor, capital, or any other factors
of production. Rather, they measure the com­
bined effect of a number of interrelated influences,
such as skills of workers, managerial skills, changes
in technology, capital investment per worker,
utilization of capital, layout and flow of materials,
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
clude an estimate for proprietors' salaries and
contributions for supplementary benefits. Real
compensation per man-hour was derived by adjust­
ing the compensation data by the Consumer Price
Index to reflect changes in purchasing power.
The indexes of unit labor costs were developed
by dividing compensation per man-hour by output
per man-hour. Nonlabor payments represent the
difference between total compensation and the
gross national product (in current dollars) originat­
ing in the private sector of the economy.
Price is the sum of all the costs of production
and distribution (unit labor costs plus nonlabor
payments) and is derived by dividing the current
dollar estimate of gross product by the constant
dollar estimate. The price index represents the
change in price of all final goods and services
produced by the private sector of the economy.
7

Data on output per man-hour in selected industries

contain industry indexes of output, man-hours,
and output per man-hour for selected U.S. manu­
facturing and nonmanufacturing industries, cover­
ing the years 1939 and 1947 through 1966. The
industries included here are not necessarily a repre­
sentative cross section of U.S. industry, and thenoutput per man-hour indexes, therefore, should not
be combined to obtain an overall measure for the
entire economy or any sector. Each index repre­
sents only the change in output per man-hour for
the designated industry or combination of indus­
tries.
Output indexes are based primarily on the
physical output of the products of the industry,
combined with fixed period weights. Although
man-hour weights are preferred and used when­
ever possible, it is often necessary to use substitute
weights which are assumed proportional to unit
man-hour weights. Unit value weights generally
are substituted when unit man-hour weights are
not available. Since the most comprehensive physi­
cal output data usually are available for Census
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 by the
base period aggregate. Man-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 by
dividing an output index by an index of aggregate
man-hours.
Although the measures relate output to one
input—labor time—they do not measure the
specific contribution of labor or any other factor
of production. Rather, they reflect the joint
effect of a number of interrelated influences, such
as changes in technology, capital investment per
worker, capacity utilization, and others. Industry
output per man-hour measures are limited to the
extent that they do not account for quality
change, and often do not reflect adequately
changes in the degree of plant integration and
specialization. In addition, there is not always
strict comparability between output and labor
input estimates. Finally, year-to-year changes in
output per man-hour are irregular, and therefore,
not necessarily indicative of basic changes in
long-term trends. Conversely, long-term trends
are not necessarily applicable to any one year or
period in the future.

Consumer Prices

(N ote: Covers tables 102-110)

The Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 measures
the average change in prices of all types of con­
sumer goods and services purchased by city wageearners and clerical workers. The weights used in
calculating the index, which remain fixed for
relatively long periods, are based on studies of
actual expenditures by wage earners and clerical
workers. The quantities and qualities of the sample
items in the “market basket” remain the same
between consecutive pricing periods, so that the
index measures only the effect of price change on
the cost of living. The index does not measure
changes in the total amount families spend for
living; city indexes do not measure relative differ­
ences in prices or living costs between cities.
A study conducted during 1917-19 provided
the weights used for 1913 to 1935. Since then, this
1 A detailed description of the CPI is contained in The Consumer Price
Index: History and Techniques, (BLS Bulletin 1517.)

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 by 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 or
quarterly cycle. These include the urban portions
of 37 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA), the more extensive Standard Consoli-

Wholesale Prices
(N ote: Covers tables 111-114)

Wholesale Price Indexes

The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) is designed
to measure changes in prices of commodities sold
in primary markets in the United States. “Whole­
sale,” as used in the title of the index, refers to
sales in large quantities, not to prices received by
wholesalers, jobbers, or distributors.




The WPI universe consists of all commodities
produced or imported for sale in commercial
transactions in primary markets in the United
States. Currently most actual price quotations are
obtained on a sample of about 2,400 items from
manufacturers or other producers.
Prices are usually f.o.b. production or central
marketing point, and net of applicable discounts.
9

However, a few prices are reported by trade as­
sociations and organized exchanges, and some are
taken from trade publications or obtained from
other Government agencies which collect quota­
tions as part of their regular work. Since the index
is intended to measure “pure” price change, that
is, not influenced by changes in quality, quantity,
shipping terms, product mix, etc., commodities
included in the index are defined by precise speci­
fications which incorporate price determining
characteristics of the commodities.

The WPI is calculated as a weighted average of
price changes and has been shown on the reference
base 1957-59 since January 1962. The weights
represent the total net selling value of commodities
produced and processed in this country (or im­
ported for sale), and flowing into primary markets.
The values are f.o.b. production point and are
exclusive of excise taxes. The values of interplant
transfers, military production, and goods sold to
household consumers directly by producing es­
tablishments are excluded. Each commodity price
series in the index is representative of a class of
prices and is assigned its own weight (the ship­
ment value of the commodity) plus the weights of
other commodities not priced directly but whose
prices are known or assumed to move similarly.
The weighting structure is revised periodically
when data from industrial censuses become avail­
able, generally at 5-year intervals. Beginning with
the January 1967 data, the Wholesale Price Index
weights are based on 1963 shipment values of
commodities as reported in the latest industrial
censuses. The next revision will follow the 1967
industrial censuses.
The commodities in the WPI are classified by
similarity of end-use or material composition
rather than by industry of origin. In recent years,
emphasis has been placed on development of
more subdivisions within major groups and special
combinations of indexes, such as by Stage of
Processing and Durability of Product.
The Stage of Processing indexes are constructed
by combining segments of the Bureau’s regular
comprehensive WPI, primarily in accordance with
the amount of processing, manufacturing, or
assembling to which commodities are subjected
before they enter the market. The weights used in
the regular WPI classification system are dis­
tributed in accordance with the relative impor­
tance of the output of each commodity which is
consumed at various levels of processing.
10




The Durability of Product indexes were con­
structed to provide price indexes which could be
used in conjunction with other important eco­
nomic series, such as production or inventory data
classified according to durability. The indexes
are made by combining segments of the Bureau’s
regular comprehensive WPI and embrace all its
components.
The Wholesale Price Index is used for many
purposes, including market analysis, escalation
of long-term purchase and sales contracts, and
measurement of general price trends. Many
users employ the group and individual commodity
indexes rather than the All Commodities index.
The WPI is based on a purposive, judgment
sample. Thus, the All Commodities index can be
assumed to be more reliable than component
group indexes. Also, the reliability of the index
has increased over time as the sample has ex­
panded. In 1952, the sample of priced items
doubled to about 1,850 items and since then has
increased to about 2,400 items.
Industry-Sector Price Indexes

Industry-sector price indexes were inaugurated
with the annual average indexes for 1957 through
1963. (See Monthly Labor Review, August 1965.)
Indexes for selected industries and for their
important product classes are currently published
in Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes.
An industry price index is a composite index,
derived from several price series combined to
match the economic activity of a specified in­
dustry or sector. The indexes published here are
industrial output price indexes; they measure
average changes in prices of commodities pro­
duced by a particular industry as defined by the
Standard Industrial Classification of the Bureau
of the Budget.
Industry indexes are relevant to studies of
economic growth, productivity, and other types
of economic analysis where the emphasis is on
industrial structure as distinct from market or
commodity-use classifications. One of their im­
portant uses is to deflate value of shipments
data in order to derive measures of output in
constant dollars. They also are useful for com­
paring industry price movements with other
industry-based statistics of employment, pro­
duction, and productivity, and for projecting price
changes in studies of given industries.

The 4-digit indexes are built up from indexes
for the individual commodities made in an in­
dustry—including its secondary products. The
product indexes, weighted by the total value of
their shipments, regardless of industry of origin,
are combined into 5-digit census product class
indexes. (Data for product shipments by in­
dividual industries are not available.) The product
class indexes are, in turn, combined into 4-digit
industry indexes. At this step, the weights are
value of shipments (by product class) originating
within the particular industry.
Through 1966, the industry indexes are based
on gross value of shipments in 1958 as reported
in the Censuses of Manufactures and Mineral In­
dustries. The values include interplant transfers,
goods produced and consumed in the same estab­
lishment, and goods sold for export. Imported
commodities are not included. Beginning with the
January 1967 indexes, ISPI weights are based on
data from the 1963 censuses. The weighting struc­
ture is revised whenever comprehensive data from
the industrial censuses become available.
The selection of items to be priced is purposive
rather than being based on probability techniques.
The objective is to represent 50 percent or more
of the value of commodities included in each 5digit census product class by pricing one or more
specifications of its most important products. An
industry meets the minimum standards for pub­

lication if 90 percent, by value, of its component
5-digit product classes satisfy the criteria for
product class sampling. The sampling criteria may
be modified if price variability within product classes
or industries varies significantly from the average.
Because the current price collection for the in­
dustry-sector program initially was designed
around the WPI structure, the sample in most
industries is not strong enough to permit publi­
cation of industry indexes. As of December 1966,
only 52 industries were covered adequately. As of
January 1967, adequate coverage was extended to
15 additional industries, and as of January 1968,
32 more industries were added. Further extension
of industry coverage is proposed as resources
permit.
Pending additional pricing of commodities,
these new indexes will be limited by the coverage—
commodity and class of customer—of the com­
prehensive Wholesale Price Index. It must be
assumed that the WPI prices, which are generally
at the primary market level, are similar to the
market level of sales represented by the Census
data used as weights. Since the data include values
of interplant transfers and values of goods pro­
duced and consumed in the same industry, it is
also necessary to assume that changes in those
values are represented by price movements of
goods in commercial markets.

Consumer Expenditures
(N ote: Covers tables 116-119)

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.
Data were collected jointly by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) as part of a nationwide
Survey of Consumer Expenditures (CES). 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 CES classification of families
by place of residence (i.e., urban or rural) follows
the definitions adopted for the 1960 Census of
Population.
All data were collected by personal interviews,
through the voluntary cooperation of families.
The family, or consumer unit (CU), referred to




(1) a group of people usually living together who
pooled their income and drew from a common
fund for their major items of expense, or (2) a
person either living alone or in a household whose
income and expenditures were not pooled with
others.
The sample, for the total urban and rural
population, included 17,283 living quarter ad­
dresses which were assigned to interviewers.
Usable schedules were obtained and tabulated
for 13,728 families.
To describe the spending and saving of all
families in the United States, data from the CES
samples were combined to obtain regional and
U.S. averages. This was accomplished by applying
a system of weights, based on the 1960 Census of
Population, to the sample data.
11

Information obtained from a sample survey as
complex as the CES is subject to many types of
errors: Sampling, recording, and processing errors,
and errors due to the refusal or inability of some
families to give the information requested. All
data were reviewed, edited, and screened to mini­
mize processing errors. The BLS computed sam­
pling errors and evaluated selected characteristics
of nonrespondents.1
Particular care is required in using the averages
1 See Chapter 8, Consumer Expenditures and Income in 1960-61: Design,
Methods, and Evaluation of Survey, forthcoming BLS Bulletin. For a general
description of the survey methods, see Chapter 8, BLS Handbook of Methods
for Surveys and Studies (BLS Bulletin 1458).

for families at the extremes of the income scale.
These averages are based on small numbers of
families who may differ sharply in their spending
patterns.
The averages and percentages in the accom­
panying tables are based on all families included
in each class, whether or not they reported receipts
or disbursements for a particular item. Averages
were calculated by dividing the aggregate amount
of income, expenditures, or savings by the total
number of families in the class. Since all averages
for a class are based on a common divisor, they
are additive.

Standard Family Budgets
(N ote: Covers tables 120-125)

The budgets for both the 4-person family and
the retired couple are estimates of the total costs
of representative lists of goods and services which
provide a moderate level of living in urban areas
of the United States, according to standards pre­
vailing in the decade of the 1960's. The budgets
are normative, or benchmark, estimates of living
costs. They do not represent the ways in which
family incomes should be spent, nor do they
show how average families actually spend their
incomes.
The quantities of goods and services included
in the budgets were derived from two sources:
(1) scientific or technical judgments concerning
the requirements for physical health and social
well-being; and (2) analytical studies of the data
reported in the Bureau's 1960-61 Survey of Con­
sumer Expenditures, to determine by objective
procedures the choices of goods and services made
by consumers in successive income groups. Scien­
tific standards were used for the food, housing,
and medical care components. For the other com­
ponents, where there are no generally accepted
scientific standards, the analytical technique de­
veloped relied on the collective judgments of
families as to what is necessary and desirable to
meet the conventional and social, as well as the
physical, needs of families of the budget types in
the present decade.
The intercity indexes based on the BLS budgets
reflect not only the differences among areas in
price levels but also climatic or regional differences

12




in the quantities and types of items required to
provide the specified standard of living, and differ­
ences in State and local taxes. They are compara­
tive living cost indexes and not comparative price
indexes. Differences in housing costs are based on
average costs of occupied owned or rented dwell­
ings, and are not a valid measure of the cost of
vacant dwelling units available to new residents.
Differences in the cost of food reflect not only
differences in price levels but differences in
regional preference patterns in the choice of food
to meet the nutritional standard.1
Equivalent income or family equivalence scales
are measures to determine the relative income
required by families differing in composition to
maintain the same level of material well-being.
The scale values may be applied to estimates of
the cost of goods and services (i.e., family consump­
tion) in the City Worker's Family Budget to
estimate comparable costs for city families of
other sizes, ages, and types.
The scale in table 125 rests on the assumption
that families spending the same proportion of
income on food have attained equal levels of
living. It was derived from special tabulations of
average income after taxes and average food
expenditures per family for specified categories of
urban families cooperating in the Bureau's Survey
of Consumer Expenditures, 1960-61.

Bulletin 1570-1 and “ Retired Couple's Budget for a Moderate Living Standard,
Autumn 1966,” Bulletin 1570-4.

Union Membership
(N ote: Covers tables 126-129)

The Bureau’s membership survey includes all
affiliates of the AFL-CIO, all unaffiliated national
unions, and all unaffiliated unions which are
party to collective bargaining agreements with
different employers in more than one State. The
study excludes unions whose activities are con­

fined to a single locality or to a single employer.
In addition, the survey accounts for all unions of
Federal Government employees that have received
“exclusive recognition”, as specified in Executive
Order 10988.

Work Stoppages

(N ote: Covers tables 130-136)

The work stoppage series covers all strikes and
lockouts known by the Bureau and its cooperating
agencies to continue for 1 full day or shift or longer,
and to involve six workers or more. For purposes
of the studies, a strike is defined as a temporary
stoppage of work by a group of employees to
express a grievance or enforce a demand. A lock­
out is defined as a temporary withholding of work
by an employer (or group of employers) to enforce
terms of employment upon a group of employees.
Since 1922, no attempt has been made to distin­
guish between strikes and lockouts; both types are
included in the term “work stoppage.”

All stoppages, whether or not authorized by
the union, legal or illegal, are counted. The series
excludes, however, strikes of American seamen or
other workers in foreign ports, and strikes of
foreign crews in American ports. Also excluded
are so-called slowdowns, in which employees
continue to work but at deliberately reduced
production speed. In addition, instances in which
workers report an hour or two late each day as a
protest gesture or leave work several hours before
closing time to attend rallies or mass meetings are
excluded.

Industrial Injuries
(N ote: Covers table 140)

These data were compiled according to the
American Standard Method of Recording and Meas­
uring Work-Injury Experience, approved by the
U.S. Standards Institute in 1954. The injury rates
shown in these tabulations include all classes of
disabling work injuries. A disabling work injury is
any injury occurring in the course of and arising
out of employment, which results in death, perma­
nent impairment, or temporary-total disability.
Injuries which require only first-aid or medical
treatment are not included in the computation
of injury rates. Absence from work for a part of a
day for treatment is not considered “disabling.”
To be counted as “disabling,” an injury must have
either caused some permanent impairment or made
the person unable to work at a regularly established
job for at least 1 full day after the day of injury.
Cases are counted, however, even if the inability
to work existed only on a Saturday, Sunday, or
some other nonwork day.




The injury-frequency rate is the average number
of disabling work injuries for each million em­
ployee-hours worked.
The injury-severity rate is the average number of
days of disability resulting from disabling work
injuries for each million employee-hours worked.
Weighting. Injury rates for the 2- and 3-digit
industry groups were computed from the rates of
component individual industries by applying
weights based on estimated total employment in
each industry. In some nonmanufacturing divi­
sions, data were not available for all industries;
therefore, the division averages were not computed.
Classes of employees. The experience of all
classes of employees (production, operating, and
related workers; construction workers; sales, serv­
ice, delivery, technical, professional, office, ad­
ministrative, clerical, and all other personnel) was
included in the computation of these injury rates.
Self-employed persons, however, were not included.
13

Survey coverage. These surveys included reports
from more than 50,000 manufacturing establish­
ments, employing over 55 percent of all employees
in manufacturing. In the selected nonmanufactur­

ing industries, data were received from over 33,000
reporting units, employing more than 3,000,000
workers.

Foreign Labor Statistics
(N ote: Covers tables 141-148)

The Bureau of Labor Statistics joins with other
nations in developing statistical standards through
such agencies as the United Nations, the Inter­
national Labour Office (ILO), the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD),
and the Organization of American States (OAS).
It also provides technical assistance, when re­
quested, to countries that are establishing labor
statistical programs and furnishes specialized train­
ing to officials and technicians from other countries.
The Bureau collects and analyzes foreign labor
statistics from a variety of sources, but it does
not conduct surveys abroad or serve as a primary
compiler of foreign data.
The following tables provide general statistics
on manpower, labor cost, price trends, and
industrial disputes in selected countries. Most
of the data originate from statistical offices of
the various countries and, therefore, were intended
to serve individual country needs. In many cases
there are significant differences in definitions,
concepts, and survey methods among countries,
so that comparisons between countries can only
be approximated. In a few cases, adjustments
have been made to improve comparability. The
data pertain only to the period after World War
II, since foreign labor statistics for most areas
were limited in earlier years.
Statistics on the labor force, employment, and
unemployment abroad are obtained from periodic
population censuses, household labor force surveys,
employment surveys of industrial establishments,
and occasional estimates based upon a variety
of sources. The ILO receives such reports, makes
some revisions, and publishes the results in its
Year Book of Labour Statistics. The labor force
data in table 141 are taken from the ILO Year
Book and, in some cases, from country publica­
tions. Estimates of unemployment rates in eight
western industrial countries, adjusted to United
States definitions, were furnished by the Bureau
to the President's Committee to Appraise Em­
ployment and Unemployment Statistics (Gordon
Committee) and published in 1962. Subsequent
14




articles have brought the original estimates up
to date and introduced changes owing to revisions
of basic data. The adjusted unemployment series
run from 1959 through 1966 for most of the
countries (table 142).
Intercountry comparisons of labor cost per
man-hour worked should not be used to represent
unit labor cost (that is, labor cost per unit of
output) because of large differences in productivity
among countries. In a general way, high wages
tend to reflect high productivity, and inter­
country differences in unit labor cost are usually
far smaller than intercountry differences in hourly
wages. Indexes of unit labor cost in manufactur­
ing in nine industrial countries are shown in
table 143.
Trends in employee earnings are often examined
in relation to consumer price trends to indicate
changes in the purchasing power of earnings
(tables 144 and 145). The consumer price indexes
show changes over time in the price level of certain
goods and services representative of the consump­
tion patterns of a particular population (e.g.,
urban wage earners' families). Table 144 presents
indexes of average hourly earnings and consumer
prices for ten industrial countries for the years
since 1960 together with indexes of real average
hourly earnings, computed by adjusting the in­
dexes of nominal earnings by the consumer price
indexes. Table 145 presents indexes of earnings
and consumer prices for additional countries.
Average hourly earnings of wage earners (table
146) can be subject to serious misinterpretation
when used for international comparisons. In many
countries, wage supplements (family allowances,
special bonuses, paid leave, social security benefits,
and others) are provided more extensively than in
others, and direct wages or earnings represent a
much smaller proportion of the employer's total
labor expenditure than is the case in the United
States. Also, direct conversion of national cur­
rencies into United States dollars at the official
rates of exchange may be misleading. Because
prices of goods and especially of services vary

greatly among countries, it is not easy to tell what
level of living a particular wage income will pro­
vide. This difficulty is all the greater since workers
in different countries have very different prefer­
ences for many goods and services. In addition,
several technical differences exist in the methods
of measuring wages and earnings. Many surveys
pertain only to urban industrial centers, or to
plants above a certain size, or to certain classes of
workers, and working time is defined in various
ways.
Indexes of wholesale prices are shown for nine
industrial countries (table 147). The indexes for

all commodities as well as for industrial commod­
ities and for manufactured or finished commodities
are presented. No adjustments have been made
for the differences in relative importance of
products priced in each country.
Statistics on industrial disputes (table 148) show
the number of work stoppages and their severity
rates for eight industrial countries for all years
since 1955. “Work stoppages” usually refer to
strikes and lockouts, although the exact definition
differs from country to country. The number of
stoppages and particularly the severity rates often
show major change from one year to another.

Farm Employment and Wage Rates
(N ote: Covers table 40)

Estimates of farm employment and wage rates
are based on data obtained from mailed question­
naires sent to a sample of farmers. Estimates of
annual farm employment are averages based on
the number of persons reported as doing farm
work during one survey week, the last full calendar
week ending at least the day before the end of
each month; wage rates are averages of data that
are collected quarterly. Family workers include
farm operators, doing one or more hours of farm
work, and members of their families, doing 15
hours or more of unpaid farm work during the
survey week. All persons doing farm work for pay
during the week are counted as hired workers.

Estimates in the USDA’s series on employment
generally exceed those of other agencies which
may exclude children undet 14 years of age, farm
workers meeting the employment requirements on
two farms or more in the survey week, or persons
whose major employment is nonagricultural.
USDA's farm wage rate series is a composite of
average rates compiled from reports submitted
by individual farmers for their localities. Because
of the general nature of the questionnaire, certain
types of farms probably are overrepresented.
Piece-work rates are not included in average wage
rates.

Governmental Employment
(N ote: Covers table 41)

Commission collects employment and payroll without formal appointment procedures to cope
data from all departments and agencies of the with fire, flood, or other extreme emergencies.

15

paid for the 8 national holidays on which they do
not work.
Public employment and payroll data are pri­
marily from Census Bureau reports based on mail
canvassing of State and local governments. Local
government data are estimates based on informa­
tion from a sample of governmental units (i.e.,
county, municipal, township, school district, and
special district). Data for State governments are
based upon total coverage and are not subject to
sampling variation.

Payroll amounts include all salaries, wages, and
individual fee payments for the month specified,
and employment numbers relate to all persons on
governmental payrolls during a pay period of the
month covered—including paid officials, tem­
porary help, and (except where otherwise specified)
part-time as well as full-time personnel. As in the
case of financial data, figures shown for individual
governments cover major dependent agencies, such
as institutions of higher education, as well as the
central departments and agencies of the govern­
ment.

Apprentices in Training
(N ote : Covers table 47)

This series was developed jointly by the Bureau
of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT), U.S.
Department of Labor, and cooperating State
Apprenticeship Agencies. These data are collected
regularly by the State Apprenticeship Agency and
reported to the BAT. The BAT itself acts as the

registration agency and maintains records for those
States which have not established agencies of their
own. Currently (1967), the BAT acts as the
registration agency for 20 States and receives
summary reports directly from the remaining 30
cooperating State agencies.

Manpower Development and Training
(N ote: Covers table 48)

Statistics relating to the number of projects,
trainees, and funds authorized are based on ad­
ministrative records of the Office of Management
and Fiscal Services, Manpower Administration,
U. S. Department of Labor. The source document
for the Institutional Program is Form MT-2,

“Application for Institutional Training Project
Under the Manpower Development and Training
Act.” For the On-the-Job Training Program, the
source document is Form OJT-1, “Declaration of
Interest in Conducting Federally Assisted On-theJob Training.”

The Insured Unemployed
(N ote: Covers tables 60-62)

Characteristics data for the insured unemployed
(age, sex, occupation, industry attachment, and
duration of current spell of insured unemploy­
ment) by State are published monthly in Unem­
ployment Insurance Statistics. The information is
supplied to the Bureau of Employment Security
by the State employment security agencies with
the cooperation of more than 2,000 local claims
offices. The data are compiled from a survey con­
ducted each month, during the week containing the
12th of the month. The survey covers a sample of
unemployed workers claiming benefits under State
unemployment insurance programs. It derives the
information required from operating records and,
under certain circumstances, from claimant inter­
16




views. The Federal-State unemployment insur­
ance system covers about three-fourths of all wage
and salaried nonfarm employment. Besides farm
workers, major groups not covered generally by
State laws are domestic service workers in private
homes, employees of nonprofit organizations,
State and local government workers, railroad em­
ployees, military personnel, and Federal civilian
employees. The last three groups are covered by
Federal unemployment insurance programs. About
one-half of the States also exclude employment in
firms employing fewer than four persons even
though the firm engages in activities generally
covered by State law.

Employee-Benefit Plans
(N ote: Covers table 100)

An “employee-benefit plan” is any type of plan
sponsored or initiated unilaterally or jointly by
employers and employees and providing benefits
that stem from the employment relationship and
that are not underwritten or paid directly by
government (Federal, State, or local).
Estimates of coverage, contributions, and bene­
fits are based for the most part on reports by
private insurance companies and other non­
government agencies.
Contributions under insured pension plans are
on a net basis, with dividends and refunds de­
ducted. Those under noninsured plans are, for the
most part, on a gross basis, and refunds appear as
benefit payments. For pay-as-you-go (unfunded)
plans, contributions have been assumed to equal
benefit payments.
The number of beneficiaries under pension plans

relates to those in receipt of periodic payments at
the end of the year and thus excludes those receiv­
ing lump sums during the year. The retirement
benefits under noninsured plans do include (1)
refunds of employee contributions to individuals
who withdraw from the plans before retirement
and before accumulating vested deferred rights,
(2) payments of the excess of employee contribu­
tions to survivors of pensioners who die before
they receive in retirement benefits an amount
equal to their contributions, and (3) lump-sum
payments made under deferred profit-sharing
plans. Because the source of the data from which
the estimates have been developed does not permit
distinction between these lump-sum benefits and
the amounts representing monthly retirement
benefits, precise data on average monthly or an­
nual retirement benefit amounts cannot be derived.

Social Insurance
(N ote: Covers table 101)

This table presents data related to governmental
programs for old-age, survivors, disability, and
health insurance (OASDHI) established by the
Social Security Act. These programs provide
monthly cash benefits to retired or disabled insured
workers and their dependents and to the survivors
of insured workers. Within the specifications of the
law, retirement benefits are payable to an aged
insured worker; to his aged spouse or his spouse at
any age caring for his child who is under age 18
or totally disabled; and to his child who is under
age 18, totally disabled, or a full-time student
under age 22. An aged worker becomes eligible for
full benefits at age 65, although he may elect re­
duced benefits up to 3 years earlier; his spouse is
under the same limitations. Under certain condi­
tions, survivor benefits are payable to some depen­
dents of an insured worker, including his aged
widow or his widow at any age caring for his child
who is under age 18 or totally disabled; his child
who is under age 18, totally disabled, or a full-time
student under age 22; and his aged parents. Dis­
ability benefits are payable to an insured worker
under age 65 with a prolonged disability that meets
the definition in the act and to his dependents on
the same basis as dependents of retired workers.
A lump sum benefit is also payable on the death
of an insured worker.




Since July 1966, medical insurance is being pro­
vided under two coordinated plans for nearly all
persons age 65 and over: A hospital insurance plan
which covers hospital and related services and a vol­
untary supplementary medical insurance plan which
covers physicians’ services and related medical
services.
Retirement, survivors, disability, and hospital
insurance benefits are paid for by the contributions
of workers, employers, and the self-employed on
earnings up to $7,800. Currently, workers and
their employers each pay 3.9 percent, and the selfemployed pay 5.9 percent of covered w^ages for
retirement, survivors, and disability insurance.
For hospital insurance, workers, employers, and
the self-employed each pay 0.5 percent. The rates
are scheduled to increase gradually. For persons
65 and over, currently not insured under social
security, the hospital benefits will be financed out
of Federal general revenues. The voluntary med­
ical insurance plan is financed by a $3-a-month
premium paid by persons age 65 and over who
choose to enroll in the plan, and by an equal
contribution by the Federal Government from
general revenues. The money collected is deposited
in Federal trust funds.

Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Investigation Findings
(N ote: Covers table 139)

Introduction

The data are tabulated from “Investigation
Report” forms sent in for each establishment
investigated by a WHPC investigator. The sta­
tistics therefore represent only findings obtained
from investigated establishments and do not
represent total underpayments due under the
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, the WalshHealy Public Contracts Act, and the Service
Contract Act of 1965.
Establishments Investigated

Establishments are investigated because of
complaints received from employees, unions, or
other interested parties. In addition, each region
schedules investigations in those industries where
there is a strong likelihood that firms might be in
violation of the acts.
Employees Underpaid

Underpaid employees are those found not paid

the required minimum wage rate, employees
found not paid full overtime for all hours worked
over the applicable overtime standard, and em­
ployees found not paid equally under the pro­
visions of the acts. Also included are workers, such
as handicapped workers, certified for special
minimum wage rates who were found not paid in
accordance with the certificates. Minors found
illegally employed under the acts are not shown.
Amount of Underpayments

The amount shown for all types of underpay­
ments involves an investigation period of up to
2 years.
Illegally Withheld Wages That Employers Agreed
to Pay

The amount of underpayments which the em­
ployers agreed to pay back to employees found
underpaid may be all or only a part of the amount
found due.

Gross National Product and National Income
(N ote: Covers tables 149-151)

Gross National Product

Gross National Product (GNP) 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 GNP series measures the product attrib­
utable to the factors of production—labor and
property—supplied by residents of the Nation.
“Personal consumption expenditures” consists
of the market value of purchases of goods and
services by persons and nonprofit institutions and
the value of food, clothing, housing, and financial
services received by them as income in kind. It
includes the rental value of owner-occupied houses
but does not include purchases of dwellings, which
are classified as capital goods.
“Gross private domestic investment” consists




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.
“Net 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.
They exclude the acquisition of land, current out­
lays of government enterprises, transfer payments,
government interest, and subsidies, as well as
transactions in financial claims.
19

Gross National Product in Constant Dollars

The GNP is also “deflated” or expressed in
dollars of constant purchasing power. The proce­
dure in general is to divide components of the
current dollar GNP by appropriate price indexes,
utilizing as fine a product breakdown as possible,
and then to sum the components to obtain the
constant dollar GNP.
The price information is combined into compos­
ite indexes applicable to the various current
dollar series. Weights for constructing the compos­
ites, approximating expenditures for the products
represented by 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 price 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 GNP implicit deflator is computed by divid­
ing the deflated estimates into the corresponding
current dollar estimates.
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 Nation’s
economy. It is the sum of five major items: (1)
compensation of employees, (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
other asset holdings. The supplementary income
which individuals obtain from renting property
does not appear here, but under rental income of
persons.
“Rental income of persons” consists of (1) net
money income from rental of real property, (2)
imputed net rental value to homeowners of their
homes, and (3) royalties received from patents,
copyrights, and rights to natural resources.
20




“Net 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.
“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.
The national income is a useful measure of the
rate of flow of earnings from current output. By
definition, it excludes income from the revaluation
of past output—e.g., capital gains and losses. The
movements of this series correspond with move­
ments in production. However, the value of the
national income series lies more in the composition
than in the total. It may mean little to know that
national income (unadjusted for price changes)
has gone up; but it may 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.
For such purposes, these variations must be
considered in the light of other factors, such as
the cost of living and the cost of new plant and
equipment. It should be recognized that many
of the available data permit only fair approxi­
mations of the phenomena being measured, and
therefore too great a reliance should not be
placed on these statistics as instruments of precise
measurement.

Consumer Income
(N ote: Covers table 152)

Background

Definitions

Since 1947, the Bureau of the Census has pub­
lished annual statistics on consumer income of
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
ber of children, number of earners, employment
status, source of income, occupation and industry
groups, etc.
Data on consumer income are derived from the
Current Population Survey conducted by the
Bureau of the Census in March of each year.

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 by all in­
come recipients in the family.
Family.—The term “family” refers to a group
of two persons or more, related by 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
white. The nonwhite group includes Negroes,
American Indians, Japanese, Chinese, and other
nonwhite races.
Years of school completed.—Data on years of school
completed were derived from the combination of
answers to questions concerning the highest grade
of school attended by the person and whether or
not that grade was completed. The questions on
educational attainment apply only to progress in
graded public, private, and parochial elementary
and high schools, colleges, universities, and pro­
fessional schools, whether day schools or night
schools.
Further definitions.—More extensive definitions
of the terms, explanations of collection and proc­
essing procedures, and a statement on sampling
variability may be found in Current Population
Reports, Series P-60, No. 51, “Income in 1965 of
Families and Persons in the United States.”

Description of Survey

The March survey covers the civilian noninstitutional population and members of the Armed
Forces living off post or with their families on post
in the United States. Data on consumer income
cover money income (exclusive of certain money
receipts such as capital gains) prior to deductions
for taxes.
Prior to the March 1966 survey, income data
were collected from approximately 25,000 repre­
sentative households, or about 75 percent of the
households included in the sample. In the March
1966 survey, data on income were collected from
all households in the sample (approximately
35,000 households). The time period covered by
the income statistics relates to the preceding cal­
endar year, but the characteristics such as age,
employment status, etc., and the composition of
families refer to the time of enumeration. Persons
in the following categories were not included:
1. Members of the Armed Forces living in
barracks on military reservations.
2. Inmates of penal and mental institutions
and persons living in homes for the aged, infirm,
and needy.

Reliability of the Estimates

Since the estimates are based on a sample, they
are subject to sampling variability. Particular care
should be exercised in the interpretation of figures
based on relatively small numbers of cases; such
care should apply also to small differences be­
tween figures. Moreover, as in all field surveys of
income, the figures are subject to errors of response
and nonreporting.

1 Not strictly comparable to 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 3 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 ana 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.
2 Data for 1967 may not be strictly comparable to prior years because of basic
changes in the concepts and definitions introduced in January 1967. For more
details on these changes, see the last paragraph of the Technical Notes on
p.2.

because of slack work, job changing during the week, material shortages,
inability to find full-time work, etc.
Data not available for the usual 20- to 24-year age group because the break­
down for the 18- and 10-year age group is not readily available.

Notes on page 2.

1 Beginning with 1966 data revised to refer to persons 16 years of age and
over and persons 16 to 17 years old in accordance with change introduced
in January 1967. See Technical Notes for more detail.
2 See footnote 1, table 1.
3 Includes persons who worked 35 hours or more during the survey week
and those who usually work full time but worked part time because of illness,
bad weather, holidays, personal business, or other temporary noneconomic
reasons.

4 Data not available for the usual 20- to 24-year age group because the break­
down for the 18- and 19-year age group is not readily available.
6Includes mining, forestry, and fisheries, and also public administration.
6 Includes persons who wanted only part-time work.
N ote: Data for 1967 may not be strictly comparable to prior years because
of basic changes in the concepts and definitions introduced in January 1967.
For more details on these changes, see the last paragraph of the Technical
Notes on page 2.

1 Time worked includes paid vacation and paid sick leave.
2 Usually worked 35 hours a week or more.
5 Not strictly comparable with earlier years because of the introduction of
data from the 1950 Census into the estimation procedure. The number with
work experience was raised about 120,000 between 1951 and 1952 and an
additional 230,000 between 1952 and 1953.




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.
5 Beginning with 1966 data revised to refer to persons 16 years of age and
over, in accordance with change introduced in January 1967.

no previous work experience, not shown separately.
See footnote 1, table 1.
3 Data for the employed and unemployed for the period 1947-56 have not
been adjusted to reflect changes in the definitions of employment and unem­
ployment adopted in January 1957. Two groups averaging about 250,000
workers who were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at
2




work)—those on temporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and
salary jobs within 30 days—were assigned to different classifications, mostly
to the unemployed. The changes mainly affected the total for nonagricultural wage and salary workers, which was reduced by about 0.5 percent;
there was little impact on any individual category in the group.

population or more are represented,
book and job tabulation include rates for the semiand 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.

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.
