Prefatory Note
The 1971 edition of the Handbook of Labor Statistics makes available in one
volume the major series produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In general,
each table is complete historically, beginning with the earliest reliable and
consistent data and running through calendar year 1970. Related series from
other governmental agencies and foreign countries are included.
The data are grouped under economic subject matter headings and without
regard to the surveys or other sources from which the information was devel­
oped. For example, the section on “Employment” covers data from several
programs: “Current Population Survey,” “Current Employment and Labor
Turnover Statistics,” “Farm Employment and Wage Rates,” “Government
Employment,” “Apprentices in Training,” and “Manpower Development
and Training.” Technical Notes describing major statistical programs and
identifying the tables derived from each program precede the tables. More
complete descriptions have been published in the BLS Handbook of Methods
for Surveys and Studies—BLS Bulletin No. 1711.
The Handbook of Labor Statistics was compiled in the Office of Publications
with the cooperation of the operating divisions of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and other government agencies. The materials were assembled by
James A. McCall, under the direction of Tommy C. Ishee.

Technical Notes
Current Population Survey
(N ote : Covers tables 1-37, 50-52, and 60-71)

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.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemploy­
ment are divided into four major groups: (1) Job
losers are persons whose employment ended in­
voluntarily and thus immediately began looking
for work and persons on layoff. (2) Job leavers are
persons who quit or otherwise terminated their
employment voluntarily and immediately began
looking for work. (3) Reentrants are persons who
previously worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks
or longer but who were out of the labor force
prior to beginning to look for work. (4) New
entrants are persons who never worked at a full­
time job lasting 2 weeks or longer.

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
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. In tables 8 and 9, data on persons not
in the labor force are available in greater detail by
reason for nonparticipation and may differ from
the data in table 7.
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 in these categories are classified ac­
cording to their latest full-time civilian job lasting
2 weeks or more. The occupation and industry
groups used in data derived from the CPS house­
hold interviews are defined in the 1960 Census of
2



Population. Information 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
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, and all the hours are
credited to the longest 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
during 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.

Current Employment, Job Vacancies and Labor Turnover Statistics Programs
(N ote : Covers tables 38-44, 47-49, 53-55, 76-80, 91-95, and 97, 98)

Data from payroll records, submitted volun­
tarily by over 160,000 employers, provide (1)
current information on wage and salary employ­
ment, hours, and earnings in nonagricultural
establishments, and (2) job vacancies and labor
turnover in manufacturing, by industry and geo­
graphic 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 Job Openings and
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 participating establishments each
month, use the information to prepare State and
area estimates, and then send the basic data to
BLS in Washington 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. Form DL 1219 provides
for the collection of information on the total num­
ber of accessions and separations by type, during
the calendar month, and three job vacancy items
as of the end of the month: current job vacancies
which have remained unfilled for 30 days or more,
and openings with future starting dates.
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
3

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
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.
Spendable average earnings in current dollars are
obtained by deducting estimated Federal social
security and income taxes from gross weekly earn­
4



ings. The amount of tax liability depends on the
dependents supported by the worker and his mari­
tal status, as well as on the level of his gross
income.
“Real” earnings are computed by dividing the
current Consumer Price Index into earnings aver­
ages for the month to adjust the earnings for
changes in purchasing power since the base period
(1967).
Indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours are pre­
pared by dividing the current months aggregate
by the monthly average for the 1967 period and
multiplying that quotient by 100. The man-hour
aggregates are the product of average weekly hours
and production-worker employment.
Job vacancies are the stock of unfilled job open­
ings as of the close of the last business day of the
month. Openings for all kinds of positions, classi­
fications and employment, full time, part time,
permanent, temporary, and seasonal are included.
Excluded are jobs to be filled by recall from layoff,
transfer, promotion, demotion or return from paid
or unpaid leave; job openings for which “new”
workers were already hired and scheduled to start
work later; and openings with future starting dates,
which are requested as a separate item.
Job vacancies are defined as vacant jobs which
are immediately available for filling, and for which
the firm is actively trying to find or recruit workers
from outside the firm.
The job vacancy rate is computed by dividing
the number of job vacancies by the sum of employ­
ment plus vacancies, and multiplying that quo­
tient by 100.
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 1969 benchmarks.
Consequently, data from April 1969 forward are
subject to revision at the time of the next bench­
mark adjustment. Data shown for the individual
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. The newly available job
vacancy data are expected to prove to be a valu­
able indicator of economic activity and a useful
guide in manpower planning.
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 jobholder, 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,
BLS Bulletin 1458.

Wage and Salary Surveys
(N ote : Covers tables 81, 85-90, 96, 99-102, and 150)

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 1969-70, approxi­
mately 14,000 establishments employing about
5

10 million workers were included in the Bureau’s
sample of 85 areas. They were projected to repre­
sent 80,000 establishments employing about
22 million workers in all 229 Standard Metro­
politan Statistical Areas in the United States, as
established by the Bureau of the Budget through
January 1968. 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
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, purchasing,
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

6




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.
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 rime.
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-

Estimates of “package” increases (wages and
benefits combined) agreed upon in key collective bar­
gaining settlements were started on a systematic
basis in 1965. Coverage was limited to settlements
affecting 10,000 workers or more; in 1966, this
figure was lowered to 5,000. Measures now pre­
sented are: (1) First-year changes in contracts
negotiated during the period and (2) annual rates
of change in wages and benefits over the life of
those contracts.
In order to provide data for the nonunion and
small union firms not reported on in the above
programs, surveys have been conducted since
1959 covering union and nonunion manufactur­
ing industry establishments regardless of size.
These surveys, applying to production and related
workers, provide information, separately for union
and nonunion establishments, on first-year wage
rate decisions and on general wage changes
effective within each year. The data apply only to
firms that make general wage rate changes, i.e.,
firms that change wages only on an individual
worker basis are excluded.

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.

Employer Expenditures for the Compensation of Employees
(N ote : Covers tables 103-108)

The first studies of employer expenditures for
employee compensation were undertaken in 1959,
and related to manufacturing industries. The
program now is designed to cover all employees
in the total private nonfarm sector.
The studies relate to cash disbursements of
employers during a calendar year. The expendi­
tures data are presented as a percent of compen­
sation and in dollars per hour of work for all



establishments and for establishments that ac­
tually had an expenditure during the survey
year. The major elements of compensation in
American industry are considered to be covered
by the expenditure practices studied. The ex­
penditures fall into several functional groups:
pay for (1) working time; (2) leave time (except
sick leave); expenditures for legally required and
privately financed programs providing (3) re­
7

tirement, (4) health and insurance, and (5)
unemployment benefits; (6) and nonproduction
bonuses; and savings and thrift plans. Data are
presented for all employees, office employees,
and nonoffice employees. Studies of the entire pri­

vate nonfarm economy are conducted biennially
and provide separate data for manufacturing and
nonmanufacturing. Studies of specific industries
are conducted in alternate years.

Productivity
(N ote : Covers tables 82-84)

The measures of output per man-hour in the
private economy refer to the ratio between constantdollar 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
8




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 section. 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-horn: 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.
The implicit deflator reflects changes in all of
the costs of production and distribution (unit labor
costs plus unit nonlabor payments). The deflator
is derived by dividing the current dollar estimate
of gross product originating by the constant dollar
estimate.
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 1969. The
industries included here are not necessarily a repre­
sentative cross section of U.S. industry, and their
output 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
unit man-hour weights are preferred and used
whenever possible, it is often necessary to use sub­
stitute weights which are assumed proportional to
unit man-hour weights. Unit value weights gener­
ally are substituted when unit man-hour weights
are not available. Since the most comprehensive
physical output data usually are available from
the Censuses of manufactures and minerals, bench­
mark output indexes are derived from data for 2
consecutive censuses. For intercensal years, an­
nual 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.

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, and capacity utilization. Industry out­
put 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 111-119)

The Consumer Price Index (CPI)1 measures
the average change in prices of all types of consum­
er goods and services purchased by urban wageearners and clerical workers. The weights used incalculating 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
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 outlet sample and methodology. The
most recent revision, incorporated in a new series
beginning in 1964, introduced weights relating to
expenditures for the period 1960-61.
1 A detailed description of the CPI is contained in The C onsum er P rice

Index: H isto ry an d Techniques (BLS Bulletin 1517).




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, excise, and real estate taxes are reflected
wherever applicable.
Since January 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
dated Areas for Chicago and New York, and 17
nonmetropolitan urban places. Price changes for
the 56 areas are combined for the United States
(the weights used for this aggregation are based
on 1960 population of areas represented by each
sample area). Area indexes are compiled for 23 of
the 56 areas.
Notes on Tables

Tables 111-114—Indexes from 1800 through
1912 are estimates, based on price data from
sources other than BLS. The purchasing power
9

of the consumer dollar (1967= $1) for any given
date is calculated as the reciprocal of the index
for that date, expressed in dollars. It shows
changes in the value of the 1967 dollar result­
ing from changes in prices of consumer goods and
services. Purchasing power of the dollar with
reference to other bases can be calculated by divid­
ing the index for the desired base date by the index
for the current date and expressing the result in
dollars.
Table 115—The relative importance figures
shown in this table are percentage distributions of
the cost or value weights used in the index calcu­
lation. At the time of their introduction, after a
major weight revision, the cost weights represent
average expenditures for specific classes of goods
and services by urban wage earners and clerical
workers. However, in subsequent pricing periods,
the value weights and the corresponding relative
importance figures change as prices change differ­
entially, i.e., the relative importance increases for
an item or group having a greater than average
price increase and decreases for one having a less
than average price increase. Since the index
measures only price change, the cost weights
eventually become unrepresentative of actual ex­
penditures and must be revised on the basis of
new surveys of consumer expenditures.
Table 116—‘Indexes for individual foods are
based on monthly prices obtained in all cities in
the index sample.
Table 117—Annual average indexes for individ­
ual items other than food have been based on
quarterly data from 1947 to 1968 and monthly
data since January 1969. Since 1964, quarterly

and monthly indexes for individual items other
than food have been based on the latest available
prices in all cities in the sample. For example, an
index for December includes prices in all cities
surveyed in December, as well as prices in those
cities surveyed quarterly in October and Novem­
ber. From 1947 to 1963, quarterly indexes were
based only on prices in the cities surveyed in
March, June, September, and December.
Table 118—City indexes show only different
rates of price change among cities. They do not
show whether prices are higher in one city than
in another.
Table 119—Average retail food prices are pub­
lished regularly for 94 items in Estimated Retail
Food Prices by Cities. Since July 1967 this report
has included prices for the United States and for
23 large metropolitan areas. Prices are collected
primarily for use in measuring month-to-month
changes in food prices as a component of the
CPI and are not entirely suitable for calculat­
ing average prices. Variations in food expenditures
such as brands, sizes, and qualities included in the
index, cause differences in computed average
prices that do not represent real price differentials.
To meet the need for dollars and cents prices,
procedures have been devised to calculate esti­
mated prices. Briefly, the procedure provides for
the annual calculation of benchmark prices for
defined qualities using special editing, and ad­
justing these each month by the price changes
reflected in the index.2

Wholesale Prices
(N ote : Covers tables 120-123)

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
10



obtained on a sample of about 2,500 items from
manufacturers or other producers.
Prices are usually f.o.b. production or central
marketing point, and net of applicable discounts.
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 1967 = 100 since January 1971. 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 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.

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 2,500 items.
Industry-Sector Price Indexes

Industry-sector price indexes were inaugurated
with the annual average indexes for 1957 through
1963. (See Monthly Ixibor 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.
11

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 by January 1971, 102
industries were covered. Further extension of in­
dustry coverage is proposed as resources permit.
Pending additional pricing of commodities,
industry 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 124-125)

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
12



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.
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
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 accom1 For a general description of the survey methods, see Chapter 8, B L S

H an dbook o f M ethods fo r S u rveys an d S tu dies (BLS Bulletin 1458).

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.

Family Budgets

(N ote : Covers tables 126-139)

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 based
on the manner of living and consumer choices in
the 1960's. They provide three levels of living
described as lower, intermediate, and higher for
each of the family types in urban areas of the
United States.

The quantities of goods and services included
in the budgets were derived from two kinds of
data: (1) Nutritional and health standards de­
termined by scientists and technicians; and (2)
analytical studies of the data reported in surveys
of consumer expenditures. Nutritional and health
standards were used for food, housing, and medi­
cal care components. For other categories of
consumption the analytical technique developed
relied on the collective judgments of families as
to the kinds and amounts of consumption required,
rather than upon objective standards.
In the determination of budget costs, the levels
of prices paid for items are as important as the
numbers of specifications i.e., detailed quantities
bought. Pricing descriptions of items were de­
veloped to control the levels of average prices used
in each budget. For many of the items in the lower
and higher budgets average price levels were esti­
mated by a variety of techniques. For most items
in the three budgets, cost is the product of quan­
tity times price. However, for some items only an
estimated cost was obtained, either by updating
the original survey cost by change in the Consumer
Price Index, or by calculating the ratio of costs of
other items based on the ratio reflected in the basic
survey. Taxes were calculated on the income

earned by self-supporting families to maintain the
specified levels of consumption.
The intercity indexes based on the BLS budgets,
within each level of living, reflect differences
among areas in price levels, climatic or regional
differences in the quantities and types of items
required to provide the specified level, and differ­
ences in State and local taxes. Intercity indexes
are comparative living cost indexes and not
comparative price indexes. Differences in housing
costs are based on average costs of occupied
owned or rented dwellings. The differences in the
cost of food reflect differences in price levels as
well as differences in regional preference patterns
in the choice of food.
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 living. The scale
values may be applied to estimates of the cost of
goods and services (i.e., family consumption) in the
budgets for a 4-person family to estimate com­
parable costs for urban families of other sizes,
ages, and types.
The scale in table 139 assumes that families
spending the same proportion of income on food
have attained equivalent levels of living. It was de­
rived 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.
For a complete report on family budgets see
BLS Bulletin Series 1570.

Union Membership
(N ote : Covers tables 140-143)

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.
13

Work Stoppages
(N ote : Covers tables 144-149)

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.

Foreign Labor Statistics
(N ote : Covers tables 154-162)

The Bureau of Labor Statistics joins with other such agencies as the United Nations, the Inter­
nations in developing statistical standards through national Labour Office (ILO), the Organization for
14



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.
Tables 153-161 provide general statistics on
manpower, labor cost, output per man-hour,
earnings, 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 153 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
articles have brought the original estimates up
to date and introduced changes owing to revisions
of basic data. The adjusted unemployment series
begin with 1959 for most of the countries (table
154).
Table 155 provides indexes of output per man­
hour, hourly compensation, and unit labor costs
for all employees in 11 industrial countries. The
compensation figures include wages and salaries
plus additional labor costs such as contributions
of employers to social security and private welfare



plans. Unit labor costs indexes are shown in
United States dollars as well as national currencies
for countries which have revalued their currencies
so that changes in unit labor costs can be related to
international commercial competition.
Average hourly earnings of wage workers can
be subject to serious misinterpretation when used
for international comparisons of hourly labor cost
or labor income. In many countries, wage supple­
ments (special bonuses, social security contribu­
tions, and others) are provided more extensively
than in the United States, and direct wages
represent a much smaller proportion of the em­
ployer’s total labor expenditure or the worker’s
total income from work. Also, 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 provide. This
difficulty is all the greater since workers in different
countries have very different preferences for many
goods and services. Comparison of relative levels
of earnings by direct conversion of earnings data
from national currencies into United States dollars
using the official rates of exchange may be particu­
larly misleading. These exchange rates reflect only
relative currency parities in international trans­
actions. Comparison of relative real earnings levels
involves the adjustment of national earnings
according to internal purchasing power parities.
The earnings data presented in table 156 and the
earnings indexes presented in table 157 are the
usually published figures for each country un­
adjusted for comparability. They do not represent
the same items of labor cost in each country
because of differences in the treatment of various
fringe benefits. Earnings generally refer to gross
cash payments to wage earners before deductions
for taxes and social security, and include overtime
pay and shift differentials; regular bonuses and
premiums; and cost-of-living allowances. Holiday,
vacation, and sick leave pay; irregular bonuses;
payments in kind; and other fringe benefits are
included by some countries, excluded by others.
The earnings data are per paid hour for some
countries, per hour worked for other countries. In
addition, several technical differencse exist in the
methods of measuring earnings. Many surveys
pertain only to urban industrial centers, or to
plants above a certain size, or to certain classes of
workers.
Trends in employee earnings are often examined
in relation to consumer price trends to indicate
15

changes in the purchasing power of earnings. Table
159 presents indexes of real hourly earnings of
wage workers in manufacturing for 14 industrial
countries. The indexes of real hourly earnings are
computed by adjusting the indexes of nominal
earnings by indexes of consumer prices. The real
earnings data do not refer to changes in take-home
or spendable earnings, because they have not been
adjusted for changes in income tax and social
security contribution rates, and they do not reflect
changes in the average number of hours worked.
The consumer price indexes for the 14 industrial
countries plus selected other countries are pre­
sented in table 160. Consumer price indexes meas­
ure the changes over time in the prices of a
representative sample of consumer goods and
services purchased by the whole population or

by a particular population group, for example,
urban middle-income wage and salary workers.
Indexes of wholesale prices are shown for nine
industrial countries (table 161). 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 162) 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.

Governmental Employment
(N ote : Covers table 46)

E m p lo ym en t a n d p a yro lls. The Civil Service
Commission collects employment and payroll
data from all departments and agencies of the
Federal Government but not from the District
of Columbia Government. Employment figures
represent the number of persons who occupied
civilian positions on the last day of the calendar
month shown and who are paid for personal
services rendered for the Federal Government,
regardless of the nature of appointment or method
of payment. Intermittent workers are counted if
they performed any service during the report
month. Employment totals exclude persons serv­
ing without compensation, persons on leave

16



without pay for scheduled periods longer than
30 days, persons in leave status after reduction-inforce, and persons hired informally “on the spot”
without formal appointment procedures to cope
with fire, flood, or other extreme emergencies.

Federal payrolls include all payments for per­
sonal services rendered during the calendar month
and payments for accumulated annual leave of
employees who separate from service. Since most
Federal employees are paid on a biweekly basis,
the calendar month earnings are estimated par­
tially on the basis of the number of work days in
each month where payroll periods overlap con­
secutive months. Monthly payroll totals fluctuate

in amount because the number of work days in
each month varies from 20 to 23 days. Holidays
may be disregarded, since Federal employees are
paid for the 9 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 government 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 institutions of higher education, as well as
the central departments and agencies of the
government.

Apprentices in Training
(N ote : Covers table 56)

This series was developed jointly by the Bureau
of Apprenticeship and Training (BAT), U.S. De­
partment of Labor, and cooperating State Appren­
ticeship Agencies. These data are collected regu­
larly by the State Apprenticeship Agency and
reported to the OMMDS. The BAT itself acts as
the registration agency and maintains records for

those States which have not established agencies
of their own. Currently, the BAT acts as the reg­
istration agency for 20 States. Summary reports
and received directly from the remaining 32 coop­
erating State agencies, including the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Enrollment Opportunities and PostTraining Employment Under MDTA

Estimates of the number of trainees enrolled in
training in fiscal years 1963-68 were based on the
receipt of form MT-101, “Characteristics of
Trainees under the MDTA and ARA.” This form
was prepared for each individual referred to
training under MDTA. Only those persons who

18



were enrolled in the program for at least 5 days
were included in the estimates. Estimates of the
number of trainees enrolled in training since fiscal
year 1968 have been tabulated from information
obtained from forms MT-5 “MDTA Monthly
Progress Report—Institutional Training Projects,”
and OJT-4-MT-4, “OJT Progress and Compli­
ance Report.” The MT-5 form, covering training
under the institutional training program (includ­
ing part time and other training), is prepared at
the end of each month for each single occupation
and each project or numbered part of a subproject of a multioccupational project by the State
Employment Service Offices. The OJT-4-MT-4
form, covering on-the-job training, is prepared
monthly by the prime contractor. If subcontractors
are involved, the contractor submits a consolidated
report.
Estimates of the number of invididuals who
completed their training in fiscal years 1963-68
were based on the receipt of form (MT-102)
“Individual Trainee Termination of Training.”
This form was completed for each individual at the
time his status as a trainee, enrollee, or recipient
of service ended; he was transferred from a pro­
gram or project; or shifted from one phase to
another within a project. Since fiscal year 1968,
estimates of the number of individuals who com­
pleted their training have been tabulated from
information obtained from forms MT-5 and
OJT-4-MT-4.
Estimates of the number of former enrollees
who have successfully completed training and
obtained employment were based on the receipt of
form MT-103, “Post Training Report,” from the
inception of the program through October 1969.
There were three followup reports; one at 3
months, the second at 6 months and the final
followup at 12 months after completion of training.
Since November 1969, estimates of the number of
former enrollees who have successfully completed
training and obtained employment have been
based on the receipt of form MA-103, “Current
Job Status Report.” Forms are mailed to each
former enrollee who has successfully completed all
phases of training services in the MDTA program.
There are two followup reports, one at 3 months
and the second at 6 months after completion of
training.

Unemployment Insurance
(N ote : Covers tables 72-75)

Unemployment insurance provides benefit pay­
ments to persons experiencing involuntary un­
employment. The amount and length of payments
are based on past earnings and eligibility criteria
established under State or Federal unemployment
insurance laws. The tables presented herein
relate only to activity under the State unemploy­
ment insurance programs.
Currently7, about two-thirds of the civilian
labor force are covered by unemployment in­
surance laws. Four-fifths of all nonfarm wage and
salary workers are covered. Besides farm workers,
major groups not generally covered by State
laws are domestic service workers in private
homes, employees of nonprofit organizations,
State and local government workers, railroad
employees, military personnel, and Federal ci­
vilian employees. The last three groups are
covered by Federal unemployment insurance
programs. The program for railroad workers is
administered by the Railroad Retirement Board.
(About one-half of the States also exclude em­
ployment in all firms employing less than four
persons.)

The Employment Security Amendments of
1970, signed by' the President August 8, 1970,
as Public Law 91-373, have the effect of extending
coverage to an estimated 4.9 million workers by
January 1972, when the Federal changes will be
implemented by State legislation. The workers
to be added are those employed by firms employ­
ing one or more persons, nonprofit institutions
employing 4 or more individuals one or more
days in each of 20 weeks during any' calendar
year (other than churches and schools not insti­
tutions of higher education), State hospitals and
institutions of higher education, and citizens of
the United States employed outside the United
States by' an American employer.

The amendments also provide for a FederalState extended unemployment compensation pro­
gram at prescribed State or national levels of
insured unemploy'ment, as well as an increased
net Federal unemployment tax rate, raise the
limit on taxable wages, and provide for a number
of other changes in detail.




Employment security information is supplied
to the Manpower Administration by State em­
ployment security' agencies. The data are obtained
from State and local office records and from inter­
views with unemploy'ment insurance claimants
in more than 2,000 local offices. A variety of
unemployment insurance statistics are regularly
published in the monthly7 Unemployment Insurance
Statistics.
“Insured unemployment” is an administrative
count of the number of weeks of unemployment
claimed by persons seeking unemployment in­
surance benefits. The count for any week repre­
sents the number of weeks claimed at the local
offices during the calendar week immediately
following the week of unemployment. The insured
unemployment rate for a week is derived by
dividing the insured unemployment figure by
the average monthly covered employment for a
12-month period roughly corresponding to the
base period.
Personal and economic characteristics of the
insured unemployment—age, sex, color, occupa­
tion, industry, and duration of current spell of
unemployment, by State—are compiled in the
midweek of each month. The statistics are de­
rived from a sample survey taken in the week
containing the 12th of the month of all persons
claiming unemployment insurance benefits under
the State programs. The sample is inflated to
the universe count of State-insured unemploy­
ment. The size of the minimum required sample
in each State is inversely7 related to the volume
of State insured unemployment. It varies from
1 percent in States with large volumes, to a uni­
verse count in States with low volumes of insured
unemployment. The sampling method was de­
signed to obtain reliable data and to permit easy
comparisons of data among the States. The use
of a varying sampling ratio among the States
makes it possible to hold constant the percent
sampling variation expected, even though from
State to State the cells might differ considerably
in absolute size. At the national level the expected
deviation from any percentage presented in
tables 72-74 is extremely small.

Employee-Benefit Plans
(N ote : Covers table 109)

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 110)

This table presents data related to the Federal
program for old-age, survivors, disability, and
health insurance (OASDHI) established by the
Social Security Act. This program provides
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

20



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, health 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
annual earnings up to a maximum tolerable limit.
Hospital benefits are financed out of Federal
general revenues for persons 65 and over with
specified amounts of social security coverage less
than that required for cash benefit eligibility. The
voluntary medical insurance plan is financed by
a premium paid by persons age 65 and over who
choose to enroll in the plan, and by a 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 152)

Introduction

The data are tabulated from “Investigation
Report” forms sent in for each establishment
investigated by a WHPC Compliance Officer. The
statistics therefore represent only findings obtained
from investigated establishments and do not
represent total underpayments due under the
Fair Labor Standards Act, Government Contracts
Acts, and the Age Discrimination in Employment
Act.
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 compensation for
all hours worked over the applicable overtime
standard, employees found not paid equally, and
employees found descriminated against because of
their age under the provisions 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 163-165)

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
22



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.

Gross National Product in Constant Dollars

The GNP is also deflated and expressed in con­
stant prices. The procedure in general is to divide
components of the current dollar GNP by appro­
priate 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 indexes
applicable to the various current dollar series.
Weights for constructing the indexes approximat­
ing expenditures for the products represented by
the price series, have been obtained from the de­
tailed industrial censuses. Expenditure weights in
some instances have been broken down between
urban and rural in order to incorporate 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 defla­
tor is computed by dividing 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.




“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 166)

Background

Definitions

Description of Survey

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.
Race.—The population is divided into three
groups on the basis of race: white, Negro, and
“other races.” The last category includes Indians,
Japanese, Chinese, and any other race except white
and Negro. “Other races” are usually shown in
combination with the Negro population.
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.

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, race, 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.
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, bonds, pensions, union dues, etc.
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). Beginning with the March
1967 survey, the sample was enlarged to include
about 50,000 households. Income data were col­
lected from all households in the survey. The time
period covered by the income statistics relates to
the preceding calendar year, but the character­
istics 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 in the income portion of the
survey.
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.
3. Persons less than 14 years old.

essing procedures, and a statement on sampling
variability may be found in Current Population
Reports, Series P-60, No. 75, “Income in 1969 of
Families and Persons in the United States.”
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 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.
2 Beginning with 1967, data may not be strictly comparable to prior years
because of basic changes in the concepts and definitions introduced in January 1967.

1 Beginning with 1966 data revised to refer to persons 16 years of age and
over, in accordance w ith change introduced in January 1967.
i The 1966 estimates are not strictly comparable with those of prior years
because of earlier misclassiflcation of some wage and salary workers as selfemployed. The change in classification resulted in a shift of about 750,000 from
nonfarm self-employment to wage and salary employment, affecting pri­
marily the data for trade and service industries.

> Included with Finance, insurance, real estate, and service, beginning
January 1968.
N ote : Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1959 and are therefore
not strictly comparable to 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. Dashes

1Pertains only to standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA’s) with populations of 250,000
or more The poverty neighborhood classification used is based on a ranking of census tracts accord­
ing to 1960 data on income, education, skills, housing, and proportion of broken families. The poorest
one-fifth of these tracts are considered poverty neighborhoods, and the remaining four-fifths are
termed “other urban neighborhoods.” The poverty area data do not represent the extwst dimensions
of poor people but are instead minimal estimates of the adverse conditions of residents in these
specific neighborhoods.

can exert their full effect. This difference results in an overstatement of the level and rate of un­
employment for this period. However, the differences are minor and do not affect the usefulness of
the data.

1Unemployment rates as a percent of the civilian labor force for the group.
2Unemployment levels and rates for 1967 differ somewhat from those
published elsewhere. The first half of 1967 was the initial period for which
data in this series were available on a regular monthly basis, and the pro­
cedures used in the current population survey require several months of
continuous data before the necessary statistical techniques exert their full
effect. See also footnote 2, table 1.

N ote : Earlier data are available covering persons 14 years and over for
the months June and December 1964, June and November 1965, and January
and June 1966. These data may be obtained from the article, “ W h y th e
Unemployed Look for Work,” M onth ly L abor R eview , January 1967.

Footnotes for Table 84

1 The figures shown in parentheses are subject to a wider margin of error
than are other measures because of the method for estimating non-production
worker man-hours.
2 Preliminary.
3 Average annual percent change based on the linear least squares trend
of the logarithms of the index numbers.
4 N ot available.
5 Less than .05 percent.
6 Indexes for 1953 are not shown since Census data for that year may not be
fully comparable with data for other years, possibly due to sampling error.
7 Man-hour data not available. Output per man-hour represents output
per employee; man-hours represent number of employees.
8 Production workers represent nonsupervisory workers.

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.
3 The early studies included cities of less than 100,000 population. Since
1953, only cities of 100,000 population or more are represented.
• 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

202



highly skilled journeymen, composing room and pressroom workers, an^
others. The number of semiskilled workers organized in a city may have
influence on the average for the city.
4
The averages shown for drivers 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.
3The data relate to October 1.

N o t e : Within each occupation, the work levels surveyed, usually desig­
nated by Roman numerals with class I assigned to the lowest level, are
defined in terms of duties and responsibilities. Specific job factors determin­
ing classification, however, varied from occupation to occupation. From
1961 to 1966, the average month of reference for draftsmen was February and,
for all other occupations, March. Beginning in 1967, a June average reference
period applies to all occupations. For additional data see BLS Annual

Footnotes for Table 99

1 Earnings of office clerical workers and industrial nurses relate to regular

straizht-time salaries that are paid for standard workweeks. Earnings of
skilled maintenance and unskilled plant workers relate to hourly earnings
excluding premium pay for overtime and work on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts.
2 Relates to calendar year. In earlier editions of this H andbook, years re­
ferred to fiscal years beginning 6 months prior to the calendar year. For
surveys conducted at other than 12-month intervals, the indexes were com­
puted by converting increases to an annual rate. Thus, these indexes may
differ from those published in Area Wage Survey bulletins where indexes are
computed on increases for the actual time-span.

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.

In these tables, workers are counted more than once if they were involved
in more than 1 stoppage during the year.
3 Figures are simple averages; each stoppage is given equal weight regardless
of its size.
4 No information.
5 The figures for idleness as a percent of estimated working time were
revised to reflect a more comprehensive base of working time by the inclusion
of agricultural and government employment.

* The all-industries estimates were revised in 1968 to reflect a more com­
prehensive base of working time by the inclusion of agricultural and govern­
ment employment. Data for 1956-67 have been recalculated to include this
new base.
s 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.
s Less than 0.005 percent.
< Excludes government and agriculture.
* N ot available.
« Municipally operated utilities are included in transportation
communication, and other public utilities.
7 For statistical purposes, the stoppages reported have been deemed to fall
within the Bureau’s definition at a work stoppage. The decision does not
constitute a legal determination that a work stoppage has taken place in
violation of any law or public policy.

8 Man-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 employ­
ment in the pay period ending nearest the 15th of each month. In July,
employment in primary metals was 1,266,000 in the pay period ending the
15th, 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 15th, 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 tim e
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.
N ote: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.

38 Residents of institutions included. For 1961, agriculture excludes hunting

N o t e : In so fa r 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.

1 Published and adjusted data for the United States and Canada are
Identical.
2 Published figures for Italy, Japan, Sweden, and West Germany include
military personnel.
3 Not available.
4 Preliminary estimates based on incomplete data.
5 Published figures for the United States, Canada, Italy, Japan, and
Sweden refer to unemployment as recorded by sample labor force surveys;
for France, to annual estimates of unemployment; and for Great Britain
and West Germany, to the registered unemployed.
6 Adjusted figures: as a percent of the civilian labor force. Published figures;
for France, unemployment as a percent of the civilian labor force; for Italy,
Japan, and Sweden, unemployment as a percent of the civilian labor force
plus career military personnel; for Great Britain and West Germany,
registered unemployed as a percent of employed wage and salary workers
plus the unemployed. With the exception of France, which does not publish
an unemployment rate, these are the usually published unemployment rates
for each country. Published rates shown for Great Britain and West Germany
cannot be computed from the data contained in this table.

N ote: Data for the United States relate to the population 16 years of age
and over. Published data for Ganada, France, Italy, Sweden, and West
Germany relate to the population 14 years of age and over; for Sweden,
to the population age 16 to 74; and for Great Britain and Japan, to the popula­
tion 15 years of age and over. The adjusted statistics, insofar as possible, have
been adapted to the age at which compulsory schooling ends in each country.
Therefore, adjusted statistics for France and Sweden relate to the population
16 years of age and over; and for West Germany, to the population 15 years
of age and over. The age limits of adjusted statistics for Great Britain, Italy,
and Japan coincide with the age limits of the published statistics. Statistics
for Sweden remain at the lower age limit of 16, but have been adjusted to
include persons 75 years of age and over. Although schooling is usually
required until age 15 or 16 in Canada, the Canadian data remain at the 14year-old age limit because sufficient data are not available for adjustment
purposes.
Source: National sources and statistical publications of the International
Labor Office, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development,
and the Statistical Office of the European Communities. Some data are
based partly on estimates.
