HANDBOOK OF LABOR STATISTICS
1976 EDITION
Beginning in 1976, the Handbook oj Labor Statistics will contain data
only from 1967 onward. Generally, data included in the Handbook
covering years prior to 1967 are not subject to revision and the Bureau
will no longer publish these data in subsequent editions.
Accordingly, the 1975 edition of the Handbook will be the last which
contains a complete series of historical data. Therefore, the 1975
EDITION SHOULD BE RETAINED AS A REFERENCE VOLUME.

Prefatory Note
The 1975 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 1974. 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 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.

Technical Notes
Current Population Survey
(N ote: Covers

tables 1-38, 51-52, and 59-74)

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. Respondents are interviewed to obtain
information about the employment status of each
member of the household 16 years of age and over
(separate statistics are also collected and published
for 14 and 15 year olds). 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, members of the Armed
Forces, and persons under 14 years of age are not
covered in the regular monthly enumerations and
are excluded from the population 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 except for temporary illness. 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; or (b) were waiting to report to
a new wage or salary job within 30 days.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemploy­
ment are divided into four major groups: (1) Job
losers are persons whose employment ended in­
voluntarily and who 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.
1

Duration of unemployment represents the
length of time (through the end of the current
survey week) diming 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.
‘Persons 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 housework,” “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 as in the 1970 Census
of Population. Information on the detailed cate­

2




gories included in these groups is available upon
request. A comprehensive revision in the clas­
sification of occupational and industry data was
carried out for the 1970 census. This revision re­
flected recognition of new categories and refined
the existing categories and, as a result, brought
about a “break in series” for many major occupa­
tional groups in the Current Population Survey,
beginning in January 1971. Comparability of occu­
pational employment data was further affected in
December 1971, when a question about informa­
tion on major activities or duties was added to the
monthly CPS questionnaire in order to determine
more precisely the occupational classification of
individuals. As a result of this double “break in
series” in 1971, meaningful comparisons of occupa­
tional employment levels cannot be made between
1971-72 with prior periods nor between these 2
years. The revisions in the occupational classifica­
tion system as well as in the CPS questionnaire are
believed to have had but a negligible effect on
unemployment rates. For a further explanation of
the changes, see “Revisions in Occupational Classi­
fications for 1971” and “Revisions in the Current
Population Survey” in the February 1971 and
February 1972 issues, respectively, of Employment
and Earnings.
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 Columbus 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 major job.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the

survey week are designated as working “full
time;” persons who worked between 1 and 34
hours are designated as working “part time.”
Part-time workers are classified by their usual
status at their present job (either full time or part
time) and by their reason for working part time
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, and unemployed persons
seeking full-time jobs. The part-time labor force
consists of persons working part time voluntarily
and unemployed persons seeking part-time work.
Persons with a job but not at work during the
survey week are classified according to whether
they usually work full or part time.
The lower age limit for official statistics on
employment, unemployment, and other manpower
concepts was raised from 14 to 16 years of age in
January 1967. Insofar as possible, the historical
series have been revised to provide consistent
labor force information based on the population
age 16 and over. Where this has not been possible,
data for the population age 14 and over have been
provided, with two banks of data for the year 1966,
containing both population groups.
In addition to changes on the lower age limit,
improvements in the methods of measuring em­
ployment and unemployment were also introduced
in January 1967. The changes in definitions and
procedures adopted have increased the accuracy
of the statistics and have clarified underlying
concepts but have not substantially altered them.
These changes have had no perceptible effect on
the historical series for the estimates of total
and civilian labor force; for total, agricultural,
and nonagricultural employment; and for age-sex
and occupational breakdowns. However, for some
analytical purposes, the changes in definition and
procedures have affected the comparability of
data through 1966 and data for later years.



Specifically, they have tended to: (1) increase
the number of workers on part time, either
voluntarily or for economic reasons, and reduce
the number working 35 hours or more; (2) reduce
the number of nonfarm self-employed persons and
increase the number of wage and salary workers;
(3) alter the distribution of unemployment by sex,
reducing it for adult males and teenagers and
raising it for adult females; (4) reduce the number
of workers unemployed 15 weeks or longer; and
(5) reduce the number of unemployed persons
seeking full-time work. For more information on
the changes introduced in January 1967, see
“New Definitions for Employment and Unem­
ployment,” reprinted from the February 1967
Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report
on the Labor Force, which is available from the
BLS on request.
In addition to changes introduced in 1967 and
the occupational reclassifications in 1971, there
are five other periods of noncomparability in the
labor force data: (1) Beginning in 1953, as a result
of introducing data from the 1950 census into the
estimation procedures, population levels were
raised by about 600,000; labor force, total employ­
ment, and agricultural employment were increased
by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for
totals and males; other categories were relatively
unaffected. (2) Beginning in 1960, the inclusion of
Alaska and Hawaii lesulted in an increase of about
500,000 in the population and about 300,000 in
the labor force—four-fifths of this labor force
increase was in nonagricultural employment;
other labor force categories were not appreciably
affected. (3) In 1962, the introduction of figures
from the 1960 census reduced the population by
about 50,000 and labor force and employment by
about 200,000; unemployment totals were vir­
tually unchanged. (4) Beginning in 1972, informa­
tion from the 1970 census was introduced into the
estimation procedures, increasing the civilian
noninstitutional population about 800,000; labor
force and employment totals were raised by a
little more than 300,000; and unemployment
levels and rates were essentially unchanged.
(5) A subsequent population adjustment based
on the 1970 census was introduced in March 1973.
This adjustment affected the white and Negro
and other races groups but had little effect on
totals. The adjustment resulted in the reduction
of nearly 300,000 in the white population and an
increase of the same magnitude in the Negro

3

and other races population. Civilian labor force
and total employment figures were affected to a
lesser degree; the white labor force was reduced

by 150,000, and the Negro and other races labor
force rose by about 210,000. Unemployment levels
and rates were not affected significantly.

Current Employment and Labor Turnover Statistics Programs
(N ote: Covers tables

39-45,53, 54,78-83, 98-104,106, and 107)

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) labor turnover in manu­
facturing, by industry and geographic location.
These statistical programs are conducted by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics in cooperation with
State agencies.
Collection

The two types of data collection documents
used, Form BLS 790 (Monthly Report on Em­
ployment, Payroll, and Hours) and Form DL
1219 (Monthly Report on Labor Turnover) are
of the “shuttle” type, with spaces for each month
of the calendar year. The cooperating State
agencies mail the reporting forms to the partici­
pating establishments each month, use the
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.
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
4



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 hourly earnings excluding overtime in
manufacturing are computed by dividing the total

,

production-worker payroll for the industry group
by the sum of total production-worker man-hours
and one-half of total overtime man-hours, which
is equivalent to payrolls divided by straight-time
man-hours. This method assumes that overtime
earnings are paid at one and one-half times the
straight-time rates; no adjustment is made for
other types of premium payments.
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
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 statis­
tics are prepared 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
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 1973 benchmarks.
Consequently, data from April 1973 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.
Comparability With Other Series

Total employment in nonagricultural establish­
ments from the “payroll” survey is not directly
comparable with the Bureau’s estimates of nonagricultural 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 pro5

grams see Chapter 2, Employment, Hours, and bor Turnover, of the Handbook oj Methods for SurEamings, and Chapter 3, Job Vacancies and La- veys and Studies, BLS Bulletin 1711.

Wage and Salary Surveys
(N ote: Covers tables 84,89-97,105,108-117, and 165)

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
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

6



broad regions—Northeast, South, North Centraland 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
lowered to 50 in finance, insurance, and real estate,
and to 100 in all other industries studied. In 1972,

General Wage and Benefit Changes

Statistics on general wage-rate changes in major
collective bargaining situations (those covering

1,000 workers or more) date back to 1954. The
series is confined to production and related work­
ers in manufacturing and to nonsupervisory
employees in nonmanufacturing. Government em­
ployees and farm workers are excluded. Data for
recent years show in both cents-per-hour and
percent terms: (1) First-year wage changes in
contracts negotiated during the period under
study; (2) annual rates of change in wages agreed
upon for the duration of these contracts; and (3)
changes effective during the period, regardless of
when they were negotiated.
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, (2) annual rates
of change in wages and benefits over the life of
those contracts and (3) wage and benefit changes
that become effective during the year.
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.

Employer Expenditures for the Compensation of Employees
(N ote: Covers

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
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

The measures of output per man-hour in the
private economy refer to the ratio between constantdollar gross domestic product (GDP) 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 (GDP) 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 GDP data are prepared by the
Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department
of Commerce.
As mentioned above, two sets of estimates of
labor input have been developed. The labor force
series uses an hours worked concept, and excludes
hours of persons employed but not at work due to
vacations, illness, and other reasons. The estab­
lishment series is based on an hours paid concept
and includes the hours of all persons on establish­
ment payrolls in the private economy.
In developing both the labor force and estab­
lishment man-hour series, it was necessary to
adjust and supplement the basic data. For the
labor force series, two major adjustments were
made as follows: General government hours were
subtracted from total man-hours to make output
and input measures consistent, and an adjustment
was made to eliminate the effect of holidays which
occur during the survey week; for the establish­
ment series, data from the labor force reports and
national income series were used to supplement
the BLS payroll series data.
These measures relate output to man-hours and
to employment. They do not reflect the specific
contributions of labor, capital, or any other factors
of production. Rather, they measure the com­



tables 85-88)

bined effect of a number of interrelated influences1
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 proprietor salaries and
contributions for supplementary benefits. Real
compensation per man-hour was derived by adjust­
ing the compensation data by the Consumer Price
Index to reflect changes in purchasing power.
The indexes of unit labor costs were developed
by dividing compensation per man-hour by output
per man-hour. Nonlabor payments represent the
difference between total compensation and the
gross national product (in current dollars) originat­
ing in the private sector of the economy.
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 1973. 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,
9

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.
The indexes of output per man-year for 16
functional groupings within the Federal civilian
government and the sum of these functional areas
are derived from output and man-year data for
more than 200 Federal government organizations.
Quantity data reported by these organizations
covered 1.73 million man-years in 1973, repre­
senting 61 percent of the effort expended by
Federal civilian employees. In all, over 850 out­
puts were measured in the study.
Output indexes for each grouping are based on
the quantity of goods and services produced by
the organizations in that grouping. Outputs are
combined using base period unit labor require­
ments. Output indexes are computed by dividing
the total weighted output each year by total
weighted output in the base year.
Man-year indexes are computed by dividing the
aggregate man-years reported by the organizations
in each grouping each year by the base period
aggregate. Man-years are treated as homogeneous
and additive. Organizations report all man-years
for which employees have been paid, including
vacations, illness, or other reasons.
Output per man-year indexes are obtained by
dividing an output index by an index of aggregate
man-years. As with industry indexes described in
the preceding section, productivity indexes relate
output to man-years, but they do not measure the
specific contribution of labor or any other factor
of production.

expenditures for the period 1960-61.
The list of items currently priced for the index
includes approximately 400 goods and services.
The items priced are described by detailed speci­
fications to insure that, as far as possible, the same
quality is priced each time, and that differences in
reported prices are measures of price change only.
Sales, 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
(SMSAs), 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). Indexes are published for areas
grouped by size of city, region of the country, and
23 separate metropolitan areas.
Notes on Tables

Tables 122-125—Indexes from 1800 through
1912 are estimates, based on price data from
sources other than BLS. The purchasing power
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 126—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 128—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 131—Average retail food prices are pub­

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.3

Wholesale Prices
(N ote: Covers tables 132-135)

Wholesale Price Indexes

The Wholesale Price Index (WPI) is designed
to measure changes in prices of commodities sold
in primary markets in the United States. “Whole­
sale,” as used in the title of the index, refers to
sales in large quantities, not to prices received by
wholesalers, jobbers, or distributors.
The WPI universe consists of all commodities
produced or imported for sale in commercial
transactions in primary markets in the United
States. Currently most actual price quotations are
obtained on a sample of about 2,700 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

12



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 (that is, crude ma­
terials, intermediate or semifinished goods, and
finished goods). The weights used in the regular
WPI classification system ar)e distributed in accord­
ance with the relative importance of the out­
put 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 2,700 items.
Industry-Sector Price Indexes

Industry-sector price indexes (ISPI) were inau­
gurated with the annual average indexes for 1957
through 1963. (See Monthly Labor Review, August
1965.) Indexes for selected industries and for their
important product classes are currently published
in Wholesale Prices and Price Indexes.
Two types of industry-sector price indexes

are published: 4 digit SIC industry output price
indexes and 5 digit census product class indexes.
The output index is an index of the primary and
secondary products produced in the industry
weighted by value of shipments originating within
the industry. This index is relevant to economic
studies which require comparisons of industry
price movements with other industry-based sta­
tistics such as employment, earnings, value of
shipments, and production. For example, an
important use of this index is to deflate value of
shipments data to derive a measure of industry
output in constant dollars. The product class
index is weighted by total value of shipments for
the product regardless of industry of origin and
hence is a commodity rather than industry
classification. The 4 digit output index is built
up from the 5 digit product indexes weighted by
value of shipments originating in the industry.
(Shipment data by industry of origin is not
available below the 5 digit level.)
Through 1966, the 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 1975, 160 industries were covered. Fur­
ther extension of industry 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 136-140)

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, 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 (4) a person
either living alone or in a household whose income
and expenditures were not pooled with others.
The sample, for the total urban and rural
population, included 17,283 living quarter ad­
dresses which were assigned to interviewers.
Usable schedules were obtained and tabulated
for 13,748 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
13

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

Family Budgets
(N ote: Covers tables 141-154)

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
quantities bought. Pricing descriptions of items were
developed 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 1973 estimates of consumption were derived
by applying price changes from the previous year,
reported in the Consumer Price Index to the cost
of each main budget class of goods and services.
This method of updating provides only an ap­
proximation of current budget costs, because the
Consumer Price Index reflects spending patterns
and prices paid for commodities and services pur­
chased by wage earners and clerical workers gen­
erally without regard to their family type and level
of living. Personal taxes for the 4-person family
were computed from tax rates in effect in 1973.
Personal taxes were not included in the 1973
retired couple’s budget.
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 oj

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 154 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 155-158)

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 em­
ployers in more than one State. The study excludes

unions whose activities are confined to a single locality
or to a single employer. In addition, the survey ac­
counts for all unions of Federal Government employees
that have received “exclusive recognition”, as speci­
fied in Executive Order 10988.

Work Stoppages

(N ote: Covers tables 159-164)

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.
Tn 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.

Occupational Injuries and Illnesses
(N ote: Covers table 168)

These data are based on the recordkeeping defi­
nitions promulgated under the Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970. These statistics are not
comparable with the previous statistical series
on work injuries based on the American National
Standards Institute’s Standard Method of Re­
cording and Measuring Work Injury Experience
(Z16.1), which they replace.
The data cover recordable occupational injuries
and illnesses. A case is recordable if: (1) A worker
dies (Fatalities), regardless of the time between
the injury and death; (2) A worker loses days at



work (Lost Workday Cases); or (3) A worker
terminates employment, transfers employment,
requires medical treatment, loses consciousness,
or is restricted in work or motion (Nonjatal Cases
Without Lost Workdays). This category also in­
cludes any illnesses which are reported but not
classified as fatalities or lost workday cases.
The incidence rate represents the number oi
injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time employees.
Scope of survey. Beginning with 1973 the survey
relates to employers in the following industries:
15

Agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, SIC 01-09;
oil and gas extraction, SIC 13; contract construc­
tion, SIC 15-17; manufacturing, SIC 19-39; trans­
portation and public utilities, SIC 41-49; whole­
sale and retail trade, SIC 50-59; finance, insurance,
and real estate, SIC 60-67; and services, SIC 7089, except SIC 88. Excluded were self-employed
individuals; farm and railroad employers; em­
ployers covered by the Coal Mine Health and
Safety Act and the Metallic and Nonmetallic
Mine Safety Acts; and Federal, State, and local
government units.
Data for mining and railroads were furnished
by the mining Enforcement and Safety Adminis­
tration, U.S. Department of the Interior and the
Federal Railroads Administration, U.S. Depart­
ment of Transportation, respectively. These data
are combined with the BLS survey data. In a
separate reporting system, agencies of the Federal
Government are filing reports comparable to those
of private industry with the Secretary of Labor.

State and local government agencies are not rep­
resented in the National sample at this time.
Classes of employees. The experience of all classes
of employees in the industries covered by the
survey (production, operating, sales, service,
delivery, technical, professional, office, adminis­
trative, clerical, and all other personnel) was
included in the data.
Sampling and estimating procedures. The sample
was selected utilizing procedures established for
optimum allocation sampling. All employer estab­
lishments within the scope of the survey were
stratified by industry and size of employment.
The sampling ratios at the various employment
size classes ranged from all units above a certain
size class selected with certainty through declining
proportions in each smaller employment size class.
The data for all reporting units in each industry
are expanded by the inverse of the sampling
ratio, and benchmarked to the appropriate
employment level in each industry.

Foreign Labor Statistics
(N ote: Covers

The Bureau of Labor Statistics joins with other
nations in developing statistical standards through
such agencies as the United Nations, the Inter­
national Labour Office (ILO), the Organization for
Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD),
and the Organization of American States (OAS).
It also provides technical assistance, when re­
quested, to countries that are establishing labor
statistical programs and furnishes specialized train­
ing to officials and technicians from other countries.
The Bureau collects and analyzes foreign labor
statistics from a variety of sources, but it does
not conduct surveys abroad or serve as a primary
compiler of foreign data.
Tables 168-177 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
16



tables 169-177)

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 169 are taken from the ILO Year
Book and, in some cases, from country publica­
tions. Estimates of unemployment rates in western
industrial countries, adjusted to United States
definitions, were furnished by the Bureau to the
President’s Committee to Appraise Employment
and Unemployment Statistics (Gordon Commit­
tee) 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 170).
Table 171 provides indexes of output per man­
hour, hourly compensation, and unit labor costs
for all employees in 12 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 cost indexes are shown in
United States dollars as well as national 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 172 and the
earnings indexes presented in table 173 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
pay supplements. 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 pay supplements 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 differences 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
changes in the purchasing power of earnings. Table
174 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 175. 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 176). 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 177) show
the number of work stoppages and their severity
rates for eight industrial countries for all years
since 1955. “Work stoppages” usually refer to
strikes and lockouts, although the exact definition
differs from country to country. The number of
stoppages and particularly the severity rates often
show major change from one year to another.

Farm Employment and Wage Rates
(N ote: Covers

Estimates of farm employment and wage rates
are based on data obtained from mailed question­
naires sent to a sample of farmers. Wage rates are
averages of data that are collected quarterly. Esti­



table 46)

mates of annual farm employment for 1910-73 are
averages based on the number of persons reported
as doing farm work during one survey week, the
last full calendar week ending at least the day
17

before the end of each month. Beginning in 1974
employment data are averages of data that are
collected monthly. Family workers include farm
operators, doing one or more hours of farm work,
and members of their families, doing 15 hours or
more of unpaid farm work during the survey week.
All persons doing farm work for pay during the
week are counted as hired workers.
Estimates in the USDA’s series on employment
generally exceed those of other agencies which

may exclude children under 16 years of age, farm
workers meeting the employment requirements on
two farms or more in the survey week, or persons
whose major employment is nonagricultural.
USDA’s farm wage rate series is a composite of
average rates compiled from reports submitted
by individual farmers for their localities. Because
of the general nature of the questionnaire, certain
types of farms probably are overrepresented.
Composite rate does not include piece rate workers.

Governmental Employment
(N ote: Covers

Employment and payrolls. 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
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

table 47)

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
financial data, figures for individual governments
cover major dependent agencies, institutions of
higher education, as well as the central depart­
ments and agencies of the government.

Apprentices in Training
(N ote: Covers table 55)

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 BAT and State Apprenticeship
Agencies and reported to the Office of Financial
Management Information Systems. The BAT acts
18



as the registration agency and maintains records
for those 20 States which have not established
agencies of their own. Summary reports are
received directly from the remaining 32 coop­
erating State agencies, including the District of
Columbia and Puerto Rico.

Manpower Development and Training
(N ote: Covers tables 66-58)

Private sector on-the-job training is comprised
of the Job Opportunities in the Business Sector
(JOBS), the JOBS Optional Program (JOP), and
national on-the-job training contracts. These
programs seek to stimulate the private sector
into hiring, training, and retraining disadvantaged,
unemployed persons and to upgrade the skills
of those already employed.
The Public Service Careers (PSC) Program
secures, within merit staffing principles, training
and permanent employment for the disadvantaged
and stimulates upgrading of employed persons
in the public service fields. Projects are sponsored
by State and local governments while the training
and supportive services costs are borne by the
Federal Government.
The MDTA Institutional Program provides
a combination of occupational training, classroom
instruction in remedial education, and supportive
services and training allowances to unemployed
and underemployed persons.
Job Corps provides a residential rehabilitation
program for disadvantaged youth whose home
or community environment is so culturally
deprived that it inhibits success in other training
activities, or who are located in rural or other
areas where work and training opportunities
are not available. Services include vocational
training, basic education, counseling, personal
and cultural development, recreational activities,
and work experience training.
The Neighborhood Youth Corps In-School and
Summer Programs assist disadvantaged students
of high school age to remain in school by providing
them part-time jobs during the school year and
summer. Projects are sponsored by State and
local public nonprofit agencies, public schools,
and community action agencies.

The Out-of-School Program provides high school
dropouts 16 and 17 years old and other lowincome youth with remedial education, vocational
training, supportive services and work experience
to prepare them for unsubsidized employment
in the public and private sectors of our economy.
Operation Mainstream is designed to provide
jobs for poor adults, especially in rural areas,
with special emphasis on enrolling persons 55
years of age and older. Participants work on
projects such as renovation of public recreation
areas, the building of vest pocket parks, and
the improvement of homes for welfare recipients
and the elderly poor.
The Concentrated Employment Program (CEP)
provides for the delivery of a comprehensive
array of manpower and supportive services to
the disadvantaged residents of 82 special target
areas that suffer from especially high unemploy­
ment and underemployment. Thirteen of the
82 target areas are rural; the balance are innercity neighborhoods.
Funded through the Social Security Act, the
WIN Program provides a broad range of man­
power and related services to welfare recipients
who are receiving payments under Aid to Families
with Dependent Children. Its objective is to
enable qualifying and able recipients to become
self-supporting and to reduce the welfare rolls.
The Public Employment Program (PEP), au­
thorized by the Emergency Employment Act
of 1971, is designed to provide unemployed and
underemployed persons with transitional employ­
ment in needed public service jobs during periods
of high unemployment. This program allows
State and local governments to fulfill public needs
which cannot be met without Federal assistance
because of lack of local funds.

Unemployment Insurance
(N ote: Covers tables 75-77)

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.



Currently, about three-fourths of the civilian
labor force are covered by unemployment insur­
ance laws. Almost four-fifths of all nonfarm wage
and salary workers are covered. The Employment
Security Amendments of 1970, extend coverage to
an estimated 6.0 million additional workers effec­
tive January 1972. Coverage was extended to all
private industry employers of one or more workers,
19

to nonprofit institutions, educational, hospital and
other charitable organizations which employed
four persons or more on one or more days in each of
20 weeks during a calendar year, State hospitals
and institutions of higher education, and citizens
of the United States employed outside of the
United States by an American employer.
Workers excluded from unemployment insur­
ance coverage include most farm workers, domestic
service workers, employees of churches and em­
ployees of private elementary and secondary
schools. Also excluded from coverage are many
State and local government workers.
The amendments also provide for a FederalState extended unemployment compensation pro­
gram at prescribed State or national levels of
insured unemployment, increased the net Federal
unemployment tax rate, raised the limit on taxable
wages, and provided for a number of other changes
in detail.
Employment security information is supplied
to the Bureau of Labor Statistics by State employ­
ment security agencies. The data are obtained
from State and local office records and from inter­
views with unemployment insurance claimants
in more than 2,000 local offices. A variety of
unemployment insurance statistics are regularly
published in the monthly Unemployment Insurance
Statistics and in Employment and Wages published
quarterly.
“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-momh period roughly corresponding to the
base period.
Statistics on personal and economic character­
istics (age, sex, color, occupation, industry, and
duration of current unemployment, by State) are
derived 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 inversely 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
the tables is extremely small.

Employee-Benefit Plans
(N ote : Covers table 120)

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)

20



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 otb: Covers table 121)

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 dependents
of an insured worker, including his aged widow
or his widow at any age caring for his child who
is under age 18 or totally disabled; his child who
is under age 18, totally disabled, or a full-time
student under age 22; and his aged parents. Dis­
ability benefits are payable to an insured worker
under age 65 with a prolonged disability that meets
the definition in the act and to his dependents on
the same basis as dependents of retired workers.




A lump sum benefit is also payable on the death
of an insured worker.
Since July 1966, 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. Beginning July 1973, the same health
insurance is provided certain severely disabled
persons.
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 taxable 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
premiums paid by eligible persons who choose to
enroll in the plan, and by contributions by the
Federal Government from general revenues. The
money collected is deposited in Federal trust
funds.

investigated by a WH 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, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and

Consumer Credit Protection Act.
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.

Gross National Product and National Income
(N ote: Covers tables 178-180)

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 of the
factors of production—labor and property—sup­
plied by residents of the Nation.
“Personal consumption expenditures” consists
of the market value of purchases of goods and
services by persons and nonprofit institutions and
the value of food, clothing, housing, and financial
services received by them as income in kind. It
includes the rental value of owner-occupied houses
but does not include purchases of dwellings, which
are classified as capital goods.



“Gross private domestic investment” consists
of the net acquisitions of fixed capital goods by
private business and nonprofit institutions; in­
cluding commissions arising in the sale and pur­
chase of new and existing fixed assets, principally
real estate; and the value of the change in the
volume of inventories by business. It covers all
private dwellings, including those acquired by
persons for their own occupancy.
“Net exports of goods and services” measures
the balance on goods and services, excluding
transfers under military grants, as reported in
the U.S. balance of payments statistics.
“Government purchases of goods and services”
consists of the net purchases of goods and services
by general government and of the gross invest­
ment of government enterprises. General govern­
ment purchases comprises employee compensation
and net purchases from business and from abroad.
They exclude the acquisition of land, current out­
lays of government enterprises transfer payments,
government interest, and subsidies, as well as
transactions in financial claims.
23

Consumer Income
(N ote: Covers table 181)

Background

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.
Description of Survey

The March survey covers the civilian noninstitutional population and members of the Armed
Forces living off post or with their families on post
in the United States. Data on consumer income
cover money income (exclusive of certain money
receipts such as capital gains) prior to deductions
for taxes, 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.




Definitions

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 oj school completed.—Data on years of school
completed were derived from the combination of
answers to questions concerning the highest grade
of school attended by the person and whether or
not that grade was completed. The questions on
educational attainment apply only to progress in
graded public, private, and parochial elementary
and high schools, colleges, universities, and pro­
fessional schools, whether day schools or night
schools.
Further definitions.—More extensive definitions
of the terms, explanations of collection and proc­
essing procedures, and a statement on sampling
variability may be found in Current Population
Reports, Series P-60, No. 97, “Money Income in
1973 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.

i The 1966 estimates are not strictly comparable with those of prior years because of earlier misclassification ofsome wage and salary workers as self-employed. The change in classification resulted
in a shift of about 750,000 from nonfarm self-employment to wage and salary employment, affecting
primarily the data for trade and service industries.

1 Unemployment as a percent of the civilian labor force.
* Unemployment 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.

152




N o t e : 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, “ Why the
Unemployed Look for Work,” M onthly Labor Review , January 1967.

1 Beginning 1971, occupational data are not strictly comparable with sta­

system for the 1970 Census of Population that were introduced into the Cur­

not completely comparable with 1971 because of the addition of a question
to the CPS in December 1971 relating to major activities and duties. For
further explanation, see the Technical note on the Current Population

N ote: The total for jobseekers is less than the total unemployed shown
elsewhere in this bulletin because persons on layoff or waiting to begin a new
wage and salary job within 30 days are not actually seeking jobs. It should




also be noted that the sum of the percentages exceeds 100 percent because
some jobseekers use more than one method.

1 In computing the data used in the wage comparisons, aggregates for all
industries combined and for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing separately
for each area were compiled by multiplying the average weekly salary for
selected office jobs and the average straight-time hourly earnings for selected
skilled maintenance and unskilled plant jobs by the all-industry employment
in the job in all Standard Metropolitan Areas combined. For purposes of this
comparison, aggregates for each job and industry group are expressed as per­
centages of like groups in all metropolitan areas combined, adjusted for dif­
ferences in survey timing.
2 Estimates relate to February 1967.

1 Minimum wage rates (excluding holiday and vacation payments) agreed
upon through collective bargaining between employers and trade unions.
These averages, designed to show current levels, are based on wage rates as of
July 1, unless otherwise specified. They are not designed for precise period-toperiod comparisons because of fluctuations in the union membership used to
weight individual wage rates.
2 The early studies included cities of less than 100,000 population. Since
1953, onlycities of 100,000 population or more are represented.
* The averages in the book and job tabulation include rates for the semi­
skilled-bindery workers and press assistants and feeders—as well as the



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

1 Since 1972, the survey has covered establishments located in both metro­
politan and nonmetropolitan areas, with a minimum of 250 employees in
manufacturing and retail trade, and 100 in all other industries studied. The
coverage of earlier surveys differed as follows: 1964 a n d earlier su rv e y s —
Limited to establishments located in metropolitan areas, with 250 employees
or more. / ^ —Establishments in nonmetropolitan areas were added to the
survey coverage. 1966— T h e minimum establishment size was lowered from
250 to 100 employees in transportation, communications, and public utilities;
wholesale trade; and services; to 50 employees in finance, insurance, and
real estate; and remained unchanged at 250 in manufacturing and retail
trade.
2 Revised definition introduced in 1962; data for 1961 not comparable.
3 Revised definition introduced in 1969. Data for previous years not com­
parable because of changes in the number and definitions of work levels.

definition introduced in 1965; data for previous years not
comparable.
N o te : 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 drafters was February and,
for all other occupations, March. From 1967 to 1971, the average month of
reference was June for all occupations. Beginning in 1972, a March average
reference period applied. For additional data see BLS annual bulletin

Footnotes for Table 1 0 8

1 Earnings of office clerical workers and industrial nurses relate to regular
straight-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 the 1967-70 editions of this Handbook , years ref erred 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 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays,
and late shifts.
2 The survey included establishments employing 5 workers or more, and
primarily engaged in manufacturing men’s, youth’s, and boys’ suits, coats,
and overcoats (part of industry 2311 as defined in the Standard Industrial
Classification M anual, U.S. Office of Management and Budget). Establish­
ments primarily engaged in manufacturing suit vests or uniforms also were
included. Jobbers, who perform only entrepreneurial functions, such as buy­
ing material, arranging for all manufacturing operations to be done by others,
and selling the finished product, were excluded from the survey, as were sepa­
rate auxiliary units, such as central offices.
2 The men’s and boys’ suits and coats manufacturing industry was selected
to illustrate the type of data which are available in the Bureau’s Industry
Wage Survey program. A number of other studies, however, provide separate
data for centers of industry concentration, as well as nationwide and regional
tabulations. The following industries have been surveyed under this program
since 1960: Manufacturing—Basic iron and steel; candy and other confec­
tionery products; cigar manufacturing; cigarette manufacturing; cotton and
man-made fiber textiles; fabricated structural steel; fertilizer manufacturing;
flour and other grain mill products; fluid milk industry; footwear; hosiery;
industrial chemicals; iron and steel foundries; leather tanning and finishing;
machinery manufacturing; meat products; men’s and boys’ separate trousers;
men’s and boys’ shirts (except work shirts) and nightwear; men’s and boys’
suits and coats; miscellaneous plastics products; motor vehicles and motor
vehicle parts; nonferrous foundries; paints and varnishes; paperboard con­
tainers and boxes; petroleum refining; pressed or blown glass and glassware;
pulp, paper, and paperboard mills; southern sawmills and planing mills;

* Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U.S. Office of
Management and Budget through November 1971.
« Three types of shops are included in the survey: Regular or inside shops
which own the material and perform all or nearly all of the manufacturing
operations; cutting shops which own and cut the material and deliver it to
contract shops; and contract shops which perform tailoring operations for the
owners of the goods. Cutting shops, accounting for about 1 percent of the
industry’s production workers, were combined with regular shops for the pur­
pose of this survey.
7 Includes data for workers in types of shops not shown separately.
« Includes sewing machine operators in addition to those shown separately.

1 Basic salary scales reflect only statutory changes in salaries. Average
salary rates show statutory changes and the effect of changes in the proportion
of workers at each step within the salary ranges for individual grades. Average
salaries measure the effect of these two types of change, as well as change in
the proportion of workers in the various grades.
2 Indexes cover workers now under the General Schedule. Before 1955,
they included not only workers under the General Schedule but those covered
by the Crafts, Protective, and Custodial Schedule. (As of July 1,1955, about
one-third of the approximately 1 00 ,000 employees under the Crafts, Pro­
tective, and Custodial Schedule were transferred to the General Schedule.
The remaining two-thirds were transferred to wage board classifications,
along with approximately 2,500 workers formerly under the General Sched­
ule.) Before 1955, there were only minor differences between the indexes for
all workers and for those under the General Schedule.
Beginning with 1960, data include employees in Alaska and Hawaii. The
inclusion of these employees did not affect basic salary scales; average sal­
ary rates and average salaries were affected by negligible amounts.
^Estimated by assuming the same distribution of employees among grades
and steps within grades in 1945 as in 1939. Since little or no increase occurred
in average salary rates because of in-grade increases during this period, the
change in basic salary scales was assumed to be almost the same as in average
salary rates.
4 N ot available.
« Indexes include increases effective the first pay period beginning in the
month.
• In 1972, the reference date was changed to April 1, from July 1, because
of a change in the Civil Service Commission's reference date for employment
figures which are used as weights In the index calculations.

Footnotes to tables 136-138
1 The family, or consumer unit, is a group of people usually living together
who pooled their incomes and drew from a common fund for their major items
of expense or as a person living alone or in a household with others, but who
was financially independent.
2 The CES classification by urbanization of place of residence follows the
definitions adopted for the 1960 Census of Population. The urban segment
comprises all persons living in incorporated or unincorporated places of
2,500 population or more and in the densely settled (urbanized) areas immedi­
ately adjacent to cities of 50,000 population or more. The rural population,
located outside these urban areas, is subdivided into the rural-farm popula­
tion, which comprises all rural residents living on iarms, and the rural-nonfarm population, which comprises the remaining rural population. A farm,
according to the 1960 census, is a place of 10 acres or more from which the sale
of crops, livestock products, etc. (and/or government farm program pay­
ments) amounted to $50 or more; or a place of less than 10 acres with sales
(and/or payments) of $250 or more. A dwelling is not considered to be on a
farm if rent is paid for the dwelling alone (i.e., if the dwelling is rented sepa­
rately from the farm).
3 Total money income during the survey year of all family members from
wages and salaries (including tips and bonuses) after deductions for such
occupational expenses as tools, special required equipment, and union dues;
net income from self-employment (including farming); and income other
than earnings such as net rents, interest, dividends, social security benefits,
pensions, disability insurance, trust funds, small gifts of cash, regular con­
tributions for support, public assistance, or other governmental payments.
The value of two nonmoney items—food and housing received as pay—was
counted as money income and as expenditures. Farm income was adjusted
for change in inventory of crops and livestock. The value of home-produced
food did not enter into the computation of income.
4 The algebraic sum of increases and decreases in assets and liabilities.
N et increases in assets or decreases in liabilities represent a net saving (+)
during a survey year. N et decreases in assets or increases in liabilities rep­
resent a deficit (—) or net dissaving.




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

5 A statistical measure of the net reporting discrepancy of the receipts and
disbursements accounts. In this table, the balancing difference is obtained
by subtracting current consumption expenditures, gifts and contributions,
personal insurance, and the net change in assets and liabilities from the sum
of money income after taxes and other money receipts. If reported receipts
are less than disbusements (including savings or dissavings), the balancing
difference is negatirve (—).
S ource: For 1960-61 and 1961 and 1960 see Survey of Consumer Expenditures,
1960-61: Consumer Expenditures, Urban United States, 1960-61 (BLS Report
No. 237-38,1964)

2 Includes families surveyed for 1959 in Anchorage, Alaska. Data for Alaska
were not included in the columns for 1960 and 1961.
3 The classification of items in the 2 surveys is not strictly comparable.
4 The algebraic sum of increases and decreases in assets and liabilities.
N et increases in assets or decreases in liabilities represent a net saving (+)
during the year. N et decreases in assets or increases in liabilities represent a
deficit (—) or net dissaving.

Review, Supplement, March 1926, p. 22) was used to convert the 1888-91
and 1901 expenditures into 1950 dollars. The Consumer Price Index of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics was used for the surveys of 1917-19,1934-36, and

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. 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
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.

1 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
m ent employment. Data for 1956-67 have been recalculated to include this
new base.
2 Stoppages extending into 2 industry groups or more have been counted
in each industry affected; workers involved and days idle were allocated to
the respective groups.
3 Less than 0.005 percent, or fewer than 100 workers or days.
* Excludes government and agriculture.
5 Not 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.

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 time
lost to time worked plus time lost, the percentages would have been 1 2 .1 2 in
primary metal industries and 1.33 in the manufacturing group.
N ote : Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.

1 The incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses per
100 full-time employees, and were calculated as: (N /E H )X 200,000, where
N =N um ber of injuries and/or illnesses.
E H = Total hours worked by all employees during calendar year.
200,000=Base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40-hours per
week, 50 weeks per year).
2 Industry totals (Division, 2 - and 3-digit SIC codes) include data for
industries not shown separately.

so Agriculture excludes forestry, hunting, and fishing; manufacturing i ncludes mining and quarrying, forestry, and fishing, but excludes printing
and publishing.
31 Wage and salary workers exclude paid family workers. Manufacturing

32 Manufacturing includes mining and quarrying and public utilities.
Labor force data are for persons 14 years old and above 1950 through 1969. B e­

34 Northern Ireland excluded. Wage and salary workers exclude the Armed
Forces and unemployed.
35 Residents of institutions included. For 1961, agriculture excludes hunting

38 Full-blooded aborigines excluded.
N ote: In so far as possible, the population estimates include national
Armed Forces and diplomatic personnel and their dependents stationed
outside the territory, and exclude alien Armed Forces, enemy prisoners of
war, and alien diplomatic personnel and their dependants stationed inside
the country.
The labor force data refer to the total of employed persons (including selfemployed persons, wage and salary workers, and unpaid family workers)
and unemployed persons, to the extent data are available. However, the
figures are often not comparable because of differences between countries in
the definitions used and methods of collection, e.g., differences in the m ini­
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.

identical. Canadian data are adjusted only to exclude 14 year-olds.
2Published figures for Italy, Japan, Sweden, and Germany include military
personnel.
3Not available.
4Preliminary estimates based on incomplete data.
^Published figures for the United States, Australia, 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
Germany, to the registered unemployed.
• 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 Germany, registered

unemployed as a percent of employed wage and salary workers plus the un­
employed. With the exception of France, which does not publish an unem­
ployment rate, these are the usually published unemployment rates for
each country. Published rates shown for Great Britain and Germany cannot
be computed from the data contained in this table.
7 The Australian labor force survey was initiated in 1964. Unemployment
rates for 1959-63 are estimates by an Australian researcher.
N ote: The adjusted statistics, insofar as possible, have been adapted to
the age at which compulsory schooling ends in each country. Therefore, the
data for the United States and the adjusted data for France and Sweden
relate to the population 16 years of age and over; the data for Australia,
Canada, Germany, Great Britain, and Japan to the population 15 years of
age and over; and the data for Italy to the population 14 years of age and over.
