Occupational Pay Levels and Trends
(Covers tables 100-105)
Area wage surveys are conducted in 70 metropolitan
areas, with data on occupational earnings produced
annually and related benefits information produced
every third year. In addition to area reports, earnings
data are also weighted to produce national and re
gional estimates of occupational earnings and wage
trends. Average straight-time earnings information for
selected plant and office occupations in all metropoli
tan areas combined is presented in tables 100 and 101.
Information on percent increases in average hourly
earnings of selected occupational groups in individual
metropolitan areas is presented in table 102. Interarea
pay comparisons for occupational groups in individual
areas are presented in table 103.
National survey of professional, administrative, techni
cal, and clerical pay (PATC) provides salary levels and
distributions annually for two dozen white-collar oc
cupations spanning about 100 work levels. The fields
studied include accounting, legal services, personnel
management, engineering and chemistry, computer
processing, purchasing, drafting, photography, and
clerical. The survey scope covers the private sector in
all major industry divisions, except agriculture, and
includes establishments with, at a minimum, 50, 100,
or 250 employees, depending on the industry. By
design, the survey definitions provide information in a
form suitable for use in comparing the pay of salaried
employees in the Federal civil service with pay in pri
vate industry.
Average straight-time salaries for selected profes
sional, administrative, and technical occupations in
cluded in the p a t c survey are presented in table 104
for the years 1961 to 1982.
Industry wage surveys cover about 40 studies—25 in
manufacturing and 15 in nonmanufacturing indus
tries—conducted on a recurring 4- or 5-year cycle.
The studies provide information on straight-time earn
ings for selected occupations chosen to represent the
skills, production processes, and wage structure of the
industry and on such establishment practices and re
lated 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 indus
try. Data for most nonmanufacturing surveys are lim
ited to areas of industry concentration, while manu
facturing surveys generally include nationwide and re
gional data. This program is represented by table 105,
which provides a trend index of occupational earnings
in the nonelectrical machinery industries.
Definitions
Straight-time earnings (area wage surveys, whitecollar salary survey, and industry wage surveys)
relate to the regular day-shift wages or salaries paid
per hour worked or standard workweek, exclusive of
premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends,
holidays, and late shifts. Incentive pay, production bo
nuses, and cost-of-living payments are included in
earnings, but nonproduction bonuses (e.g., Christmas
bonuses) are not. Straight-time earnings thus are re
flected in the index measures and interarea pay com
parisons.
Regions (area wage surveys and industry wage sur
veys), unless otherwise indicated, are defined as fol
lows: Northeast—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylva
nia, Rhode Island, and Vermont; South—Alabama,
Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennes
see, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia; North Cen
tral—Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Min
nesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio,
South Dakota, and Wisconsin; West—Arizona, Cali
fornia, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New
Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
Negotiated Wage and Compensation
Changes
(Covers table 106-108)
Statistics on negotiated wage changes in major col
lective bargaining units (those covering 1,000 workers
254
or more) date back to 1954. The series is confined to
production and related workers in manufacturing and
to nonsupervisory employees in nonmanufacturing.
Government employees and farm workers are ex
cluded. These data measure wage decisions specified
in the bargaining settlements reached during a partic
ular time period (e.g., quarter or year), and include in
creases, decreases, and settlements providing no wage
change. The data exclude wage changes that may
occur under cost-of-living adjustment ( c o l a ) clauses
which link the size of future wage adjustments to
changes in the Consumer Price Index. Both the
changes scheduled during the first 12 months of the
contract (first-year changes) and the total of wage
changes scheduled over the life of the contract, ex
pressed as an annual rate, are presented. Data also are
included for all wage changes effective in the period
stemming from current settlements and also from de
ferred wage changes specified in earlier settlements
and from c o l a adjustments. Contracts providing no
wage adjustments during the period also are taken
into account.
Estimates of compensation adjustments (wages and
benefits combined) negotiated in major collective bar
gaining settlements cover bargaining units of 5,000
workers or more. These measures were first made in
1965 for units of 10,000 workers or more; the smaller
units were introduced the following year.
Employment Cost Index
(Covers table 109)
The Employment Cost Index (ECl) measures the
quarterly change in the price of labor, free from the
influence of employment shifts among occupations
and industries. Employer costs for employee benefits,
as well as wages and salaries, are covered by the e c i .
The wage and salary data are limited to changes in
255
those rates, defined as straight-time average hourly
earnings. Straight-time earnings are total earnings
before payroll deductions, excluding premium pay for
overtime, work on weekends and holidays, and shift
differentials. Production bonuses, incentive earnings,
commission payments, and cost-of-living adjustments
are included in straight-time earnings, whereas non
production bonuses (such as Christmas or year-end
bonuses) are excluded. Also excluded are such items
as payments in kind, free room and board, and tips.
Employee benefits covered by the e c i include:
Hours-related benefits—premium pay for overtime and
work on weekends and holidays, paid holidays, paid
vacations, paid sick leave, and other paid leave; sup
plemental pay—shift differentials, nonproduction bo
nuses, severance pay, and supplemental unemploy
ment plans; insurance benefits—life, health, and sick
ness and accident insurance; retirement and savings
benefits—pension and other retirement plans and sav
ings and thrift plans; legally required benefits—social
security, railroad retirement and supplemental retire
ment, railroad unemployment insurance, Federal and
State unemployment insurance, workers’ compensa
tion, and other legally required benefits, such as State
temporary disability insurance; and other benefits—
merchandise discounts in department stores.
Data are collected from a sample of establishments
and occupations in the public and private sectors,
weighted to represent the universe of occupations in
those sectors. Farms and households are excluded
from the data for the total private economy. The
public sector covers State and local governments, but
excludes the Federal Government. Quarterly reports
are issued in the months of March, June, September,
and December. For a detailed description of the e c i , see
chapter 2, “Employment Cost Index,” of the BLS
Handbook o f Methods, Bulletin 2134-1 (1982).

1 Earnings of all workers relate to hourly earnings excluding premium pay
for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
2 Relates to calendar years. Percent increases reflect 12-month periods
ending at various times from January through December. For surveys con
ducted at other than 12-month intervals, the percents were computed by
converting increases to an annual rate.
3 Includes accounting clerks; file clerks; order clerks; payroll clerks; key
punch operators; messengers; secretaries; stenographers; switchboard op
erators; and typists. Before 1979, bookkeeping-machine operators, class B,
were included.
4 Data do not meet publication criteria or data are not available.
278
5 Includes computer systems analysts, computer programmers, and com
puter operators.
6 Includes maintenance carpenters, electricians, machinists, mechanics
(machinery), mechanics (motor vehicles), painters, pipefitters, and tool and
die makers.
7 Includes janitors, porters, and cleaners and material handling laborers.
No te : In the 1977 and earlier editions of the Handbook o f Labor S tatis
tics, indexes of average weekly or hourly earnings were presented for each
of these occupational groups, except electronic data processing workers.
Because of differences in the methods of computation, percents of increase
in the current edition cannot be linked to the earlier indexes.

1 Over the past 20 years, the survey has undergone a number of
changes in scope that should be borne in mind when making year-to-year
comparisons. For example, establishments in nonmetropolitan areas were
added to the survey coverage in 1965; firms in mining, construction, and
selected transportation and services industries were added to the 1977
survey. The minimum size of establishments within the scope of the survey,
moreover, has been lowered since the mid-1960’s—from 250 employees in
all covered industries to 100 employees in parts of manufacturing and parts
or all of serveral other industry divisions; e.g., finance, insurance, and real
estate; in 1979, public accounting firms employing at least 50 workers were
added to the survey.
2 Accountants VI, not shown separately were included in the survey be
ginning in 1980. March 1980 average was $40,292; March 1981—$43,754;
and March 1982—$48,549.

parable for levels I and II. To improve comparability between the decades,
data for journeymen and senior attorney levels prior to 1969 have been
aligned with the more current skill level designations as follows:
1961-69 level—MW, VI, V, IV.
1969-82 level— VI, V, IV, III.
6 Insufficient data obtained to warrant presentation of average salaries.
7 Job added in 1962.
8 Revised definition introduced in 1979. Data for previous years not com
parable because of changes in the number and definitions of work levels.
No te : Within each occupation, the work levels surveyed, usually desig
nated by Roman numerals with class I assigned to the lowest level, are de
fined in terms of duties and responsibilities. Specific job factors determining
classification, however, varied from occupation to occupation. From 1961 to
1966, the average month of reference was March; from 1967 to 1971 it was
moved to June; and since 1972, it has remained March. For additional data
see BLS annual bulletin N ational Survey o f Professional, A dm inistrative,
Technical, and C lerical Pay.

method which calculates homeowner costs of shelter
based on the implicit rent owners would have to pay
to rent the homes they own. The old method calculat
ed homeowner costs as home purchase, mortage inter
est costs, property taxes, property insurance, and
maintenance and repair. The c p i - w will be changed
to rental equivalence with the data for January 1985.
This change does not affect c p i - u data prior to Janu
ary 1983.
Since January 1978, approximately 224 sets of items
called item-strata have been priced for the c p i ’s .
These fairly broad categories of goods and services
are exhaustively defined in checklists. The original se
lection of the specific items to be priced in a specific
retail store is generally done by a data collector using
the checklist in systematic stages that take sales infor
mation provided by the respondent into account in
each stage. After the initial selection, the same item
(or a close substitute) is priced from period to period
so that, as far as possible, differences in reported
prices are measures of price change only. All taxes di
rectly associated with the purchase or continued use
of the items priced are included in the indexes.
The national indexes for the fifth revision of the c p i
are based on prices collected in 85 primary sampling
units which include central cities, suburbs, and urban
ized places within 25 miles of a selected county or se
lected group of contiguous counties. Prices are also
collected outside of primary sampling units to repre
sent out-of-town purchases. Foods, fuels, rents, and a
few other items are priced monthly in all areas. Prices
of most other commodities and services are obtained
monthly in the five largest areas and bimonthly in the
remaining areas. Between scheduled survey dates,
prices are held at the level of their last pricing. Price
data for the 85 areas are combined for the United
States with weights based on the 1970 population of
the areas represented by each sample area. Indexes
are published for a wide variety of commodities and
services, by region, by size of city, for cross-classifica
tions of regions and class population size, and for 28
separate areas, usually consisting of the Standard Met
ropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA), exclusive of farms

Consumer Prices
(Covers tables 110-114)
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the
average change in prices of goods and services pur
chased by consumers for day-to-day living. The
weights used in calculating the index, which remain
fixed for relatively long periods, are based on studies
of actual expenditures by consumers. The quantities
and qualities of the sample items in the “market
basket” remain essentially the same between consecu
tive pricing periods, so that the index measures only
the effect of price change on the cost of living. The
index does not measure changes in the total amount
families spend for living; geographic area indexes do
not measure relative differences in prices or living
costs between areas.
A study conducted during 1917-19 provided the
weights for 1913 to 1935. Since then, the index has
undergone five major revisions, which involved
bringing the “market basket” of goods and services up
to date, revising the weights, and improving the
outlet sample and methodology. The fifth major revi
sion of the c p i 1 was completed by January 1978 and
included a revised c p i for Urban Wage Earners and
Clerical Workers, (C P I-W ) and a new index for all
urban consumers (C P I-U ), including salaried workers,
the self-employed, the retired, and the unemployed, as
well as wage earners and clerical workers. Both in
dexes use weights relating to expenditures in 1972-73.
Starting with the index for January 1983, b l s change^
the way homeowner costs are measured in the c p i - u .
The change converted the homeownership compo
nent from an asset approach, which included both the
investment and consumption aspects of homeowner
ship, to a flow-of-services approach, that measures
only the cost of shelter services consumed by homeowners.2 The new approach uses a rental equivalence
'A detailed description of the old CPI is contained in the Consumer Price
Index: History and Techniques, BLS Bulletin 1517 (1966). For further informa
tion about the revised CPI, see The Consumer Price Index: Concepts and Content
Over the Years, BLS Report 517 (1977).
2A more detailed description of this change is contained in “Changing the
Homeownership Component of the Consumer Price Index,” The CPI Detailed
Report, January 1983; and Robert Gillingham and Water Lane, “Changing the
Treatment of Shelter Costs for Homeowners in the CPI,” Monthly Labor
Review, June 1982.

cago, 111.—Northwestern Ind. are the more extensive

Table 110. 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 resulting from changes in prices of consumer
goods and services. Purchasing power of the dollar
with reference to other bases can be calculated by di
viding the index for the desired base date by the index
for the current date and expressing the result in dol
lars.
(Covers tables 115-118)
Table 113. The relative importance figures shown in
this table are percentage distributions of the cost or
value weights used in the index calculation. At the
time of their introduction, after a major weight revi
sion, the cost weights represent average expenditures
for specific classes of goods and services by consum
ers. However, in the subsequent pricing periods, the
value weights and the corresponding relative impor
tance figures change as prices change differentially;
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 expenditures and must be revised on the
basis of new surveys of consumer expenditures.
Table 114. Annual average indexes for 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 non
food items 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 sur
veyed in December, as well as prices in those cities
surveyed quarterly in October and November. From
1947 to 1963, quarterly indexes were based only on
prices in the cities surveyed in March, June, Septem
ber, and December. Since 1978, bimonthly and
monthly indexes for nonfood items 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 bimonthly in November.
Selected area and size group indexes show only dif
ferent rates of price change among areas or size
groups. They do not show whether prices are higher
in one area or size group than in another.

Methods of calculating indexes by population-size group (and
areas included) are outlined in “ New Consumer Price Indexes by Size
of City,” M o n th ly L a b o r R e v ie w , August 1972. For an explanation of
regional indexes, see “ Measuring Regional Price Changes in Urban
Areas,” M o n th ly L a b o r R e v ie w , Reprint 2920, October 1973.
Producer Price Indexes measure average changes in
prices received in primary markets of the United
States by producers of commodities in all stages of
processing. The sample used for calculating these in
dexes contains nearly 3,400 commodities and about
26,000 quotations selected to represent the movement
of prices of all commodities produced in the manufac
turing, agriculture, forestry, fishing, mining, gas and
electricity, and public utilities sectors. The universe
includes all commodities produced or imported for
sale in commercial transactions in primary markets in
the United States.
To the extent possible, prices used in calculating
the indexes apply to the first significant commercial
transaction in the United States, from the production
or central marketing point. Price data are generally
collected monthly, primarily by mail questionnaire.
Respondents are asked to provide net prices or to
provide all applicable discounts. The Bureau attempts
to base indexes on actual transaction prices; however,
list or book prices are used if transaction prices are
not available. Most prices are obtained directly from
producing companies on a voluntary and confidential
basis, but some prices are taken from trade publica
tions or from other government agencies. Prices gen
erally are reported for the Tuesday of the week con
taining the 13th day of the month.
In calculating Producer Price Indexes, price
changes for the various commodities are averaged to
gether with weights representing their importance in
the total net selling value of all commodities. The
weighting structure is revised periodically when ade
quate resources and data from industrial censuses
become available. Since January 1976, weights have
been based on 1972 shipment values. From January
1967 through December 1975, 1963 shipment values
were used as weights.
Producer Price Indexes can be organized by stage
of processing, by commodity, or by durability of
product. The stage-of-processing structure organizes
products by degree of fabrication (i.e., finished goods,
intermediate or semifinished goods, and crude materi
als). The commodity structure organizes products by
similarity of end-use or material composition. Durabil
ity of product indexes were constructed to provide
price indexes to be used in conjunction with impor
tant economic series, such as production or inventory
data, which are classified according to durability.
Each index measures price changes from a reference
period which equals 100.0 (currently 1967 in most
cases).
318
This aggregation is compared with the total value of
primary and secondary shipments for the industry.
Approximately 85 percent of the total should be rep
resented in order to publish a particular industry
index. The Bureau is currently phasing out the industry
sector price indexes in favor of indexes calculated
under the new methodology of the Producer Price
Index Revision program. See BLS Handbook o f Meth
ods, Volume 1, Bulletin 2134-1, chapter 7.
Producer Price Indexes are used for many pur
poses, including escalation of long-term sales and pur
chases contracts, measurement of general economic
price tends, and market analysis. Indexes are currently
published in the Bureau’s monthly report, Producer
Prices and Price Indexes.
Industry sector price indexes
Industry sector price indexes were inaugurated with
an article by Bennet R. Moss in the August 1965 issue
of the Monthly Labor Review. This article presented
price indexes for about 50 “4-digit” Standard Industri
al Classification ( S I C ) industries with annual averages
for 1957 through 1963. Indexes for selected sic indus
tries and related census product classes are currently
published in Producer Prices and Price Indexes.
Two types of industry price indexes are published:
“4-digit” sic industry output price indexes and “5digit” census product class indexes. The output index
is an index of the primary and secondary products
produced in the industry weighted by value of ship
ments originating within the industry. This index is
relevant to economic studies which require compari
sons of industry price movements with other industrybased statitics 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 in
dustry of origin (wherever-made) and hence is a com
modity rather than an industry classification. The “4digit” output index is built up from the “5-digit”
product indexes weighted by value of shipments origi
nating in the industry. (Shipment data by industry of
origin are not available below the “5-digit” level.)
Since January 1976, weights for the indexes are the
1972 value of shipments obtained from the Census of
Manufactures, the Census of Mineral Industries, and
data of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Values
include those for interplant transfers, goods processed
and consumed in the same establishment, and goods
sold for export. Values of imported commodities are
not included. The weighting structure is revised when
the weighting structure of Producer Price Indexes is
updated.
As a rough guide to the adequacy of our cur
rent sampling techniques, the immediate objective is
to represent at least 50 percent of the total wherevermade value of the commodities included in each “5digit” census product class. At the “4-digit” industry
level, the publication criteria are as follows: For those
product classes which meet the 50-percent standard,
the primary production for that industry is added to
the production for all published secondary products.
Export and Import Prices
(Covers tables 119 and 120)
U.S. export and import price indexes cover transac
tions in nonmilitary goods between the United States
and the rest of the world. The export price indexes
provide measures of price change for U.S. products
sold to other countries, and the import price indexes
provide measures of price change for goods pur
chased from other countries by U.S. residents. Pub
lished indexes as of December 1983 cover 100 percent
of the value of imports and 84 percent of the value of
exports; complete coverage of U.S. exports is planned
for late 1983.
Prices used in constructing the indexes are initially
collected through personal visits by b l s field repre
sentatives, and thereafter, the prices are collected
each calendar quarter by mail questionnaire. To the
extent possible, products are priced at the U.S. border
for exports and at both the foreign border and the
U.S. border for imports. For nearly all products, the
prices are for actual transactions completed during
the first 2 weeks of the third month of each calendar
quarter. Indexes are published for broad and detailed
product categories as defined by the Standard Inter
national Trade Classification System (SiTC), a United
Nations product classification system.
Prices are collected according to the specification
method. The specifications collected for each product
include detailed descriptions of the physical and func
tional characteristics of the product. The terms of
transaction include information on the number of
units bought or sold, discounts, credit terms, packag
ing, class of buyer or seller, etc. When there are
changes in either the specifications or terms of trans
action of a product, the dollar value of each change is
deleted from the total price change in order to obtain
the “pure” change. Once this value is determined, a
linking procedure is employed which allows for con
tinued repricing of the item.
The export and import price indexes are weighted
Laspeyres indexes. The values assigned to each
319
over a 12-month period, and (2) a diary, or record
keeping, survey, completed by 5,000 other consumer
units for two consecutive 1-week periods. The Bureau
of the Census collects the data for both components
of the survey.
Several other characteristics of the new survey
should be noted. First, only the urban population is
represented. Second, the size of the new sample is ap
proximately half that of the previous survey and the
expenditure estimates are, therefore, subject to greater
sampling error. Third, students living in college- or
university-regulated housing report their own expend
itures directly instead of having them reported by
their parents or legal guardians. Last, the new survey
has a somewhat different definition of the “head” of a
consumer unit. In previous surveys, husbands were
automatically considered to be the heads of consumer
units in which both a husband and a wife were
present. The new survey adopts the term “household
er,” or “reference person,” defined as the first
member of the consumer unit mentioned by the re
spondent as an owner (or renter) of the premises at
the time of the initial interview.
weight category are based on U.S. trade values com
piled by the Bureau of the Census. The export and
import products reported for the indexes are classified
by the basic product classification systems for recordng U.S. foreign trade: For exports—the “7-digit”
Schedule B classification system of the U.S. Depart
ment of Commerce; for imports—the “7-digit” Tariff
Schedule of the United States Annotated (TSUSA). In
the case of the export price indexes, price relatives in
each “7-digit” Schedule B category are weighted by
the dollar value of exports in that category during the
base period. For the import price indexes, price rela
tives are weighted by the dollar value of imports in
each “7-digit” t s u s a category during the base period.
Price relatives are assigned equal importance within
each weight category and are then aggregated to the
sit c index level. For both indexes, the base weight
period is 1980.
Consumer Expenditures
(Covers tables 121-126)
Description of tabular data
The data in tables 121 through 126 present the re
sults from only the diary portion of the Consumer Ex
penditure Survey. The data cover the calendar 198081 time period. In interpreting these expenditure data,
several factors should be kept in mind. First, they are
weighted sample means. An individual consumer unit
may have spent substantially more or substantially less
than the average, and some may not have incurred any
expense at all for a given product or service during the
period. Income, age of family members, and geograph
ic location are among the factors which influence
expenditures and should be considered when relating
averages to individual circumstances.
Second, consumers report expenditures in the diary
survey only when they are in their home city. Ex
penditures incurred during travel away from home
overnight, which may be significant for food and gas
oline, are collected in the interview survey.
Third, expenditures reported here are the direct, or
out-of-pocket, expenditures of consumer units. Indi
rect expenditures may be significant for some expendi
ture categories, for example, utilities. Rental contracts
often include some or all utilities, and renters
with such contracts would record little or no direct
expense for utilities. Therefore, caution should be ex
ercised in making comparisons of expenditures for
utilities by consumers of various income classes and
types of housing.
Finally, when comparing 1980-81 data with those
from earlier years, users should keep in mind the dif
ference in the treatment of the student population. Al
The buying habits of American consumers change
over time as a result of such factors as changes in rel
ative prices, real income, family size and composition,
and other determinants of people’s tastes and pref
erences. The introduction into the market place of
new products and the emergence of new stores also
influences consumer buying habits.
Surveys of consumer expenditures and income have
been undertaken by b l s to gauge the net effects of the
many changes in buying habits. Such data are of great
importance to researchers in government, labor, uni
versities, and business. The survey data are also used
to revise the Consumer Price Index market baskets
and item samples.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has historically con
ducted surveys of consumer expenditures at intervals
of approximately 10 years. The last such survey for
which data have been available was conducted in
1972-73. In a significant departure from previous sur
veys, b l s , in late 1979, initiated a survey to be con
ducted on a continuous basis, with rotating panels of
respondents. The regular flow of data that results
from this design provides more timely information on
consumption patterns of different kinds of consumer
units.
The new, ongoing Consumer Expenditure Survey
(CES) is similar to its 1972-73 predecessor. It consists
of two separate components, each with its own ques
tionnaire and sample: (1) An interview panel survey
in which each of the 5,000 consumer units in the
sample is visited by an interviewer every 3 months
320
ture detail and additional classifications of families
from both the diary and interview surveys.
though the inclusion of students as separate consumer
units in the new survey has relatively little effect on
estimates for the total population, estimates for some
population groups, such as 1-person consumer units,
are significantly affected.
As further processing of the survey continues, data
from the interview portion of the survey will be made
available. These data are required to obtain total con
sumption. In addition, the combining of several years
of data may permit the publication of greater expendi
Family Budgets
After a careful review within b l s , it was decided
that the family budget program was not of sufficient
priority relative to other b l s programs to justify the
funds required for its continuation and improvement.
Therefore, the family budget program was terminated
with the publication of the 1981 budget estimates.

Unions and Industrial Relations
Work Stoppages
(Covers tables 127-133)
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 1,000 workers or more (six workers or
more prior to 1982). 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 lockout is defined as a temporary with
holding of work by an employer (or group of employ
ers) to enforce terms of employment upon a group of
employees. Since 1922, no attempt has been made to
distinguish 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 ex
cludes, however, strikes of American seamen or other
workers in foreign ports, and strikes of foreign crews
in American ports. Also excluded are so-called slow
downs, in which employees continue to work but at
deliberately reduced production speed. In addition, in
stances 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.

1 The number of stoppages and workers relate to stoppages that began
in the year. Days of idleness include all stoppages in effect. Workers are
counted more than once if they were involved in more than 1 stoppage
during the year.
2 Agricultural and government employees are included in the total em
ployed and total working time; private household, forestry, and fishery em
ployees are excluded. An explanation of the measurement of idleness as a
percentage of the total time worked is found in “ Total Economy Measure of
Strike Idleness,” M onthly Labor Review, October 1968.

’ Agricultural and government employees are included in the total em
ployed and total working time; private household, forestry, and fishery em
ployees are excluded. An explanation of the measurement of idleness as a
percentage of the total employed labor force and of the total time worked is
found in “ Total Economy Measure of Strike Idleness,” Monthly Labor
Review, October 1968.
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.
—

—
5 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.
6 Includes all stoppages that cross jurisdictional lines as well as those
that occur in specially created districts that do not conform to pre-existing
boundary lines. 1974 data are not directly comparable with 1975 data due
to refinement in the interpretation of special districts.
N o te : Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal
totals.

1 Stoppages extending across State lines have been counted separately
in each State affected; workers involved and days idle were allocated
among the States.
2 From 1969-72, idleness as a percent of working time estimates were
based on employment in private nonfarm establishments. Government
workers were added to both the employment and idleness estimates in
1973, and thereafter.
3 Less than 0.005 percent.
No te : Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal

Technical Notes
Occupational injuries and illnesses
(Covers table 134)
These statistics are based on recordkeeping defini
tions promulgated under the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970. They are not comparable with the
statistical series on work injuries which the Bureau
compiled for 1970 and earlier years.
The date include all cases resulting from a work
accident or an exposure in the work environment
which result in death, nonfatal illness, or nonfatal
injury which involves medical treatment (beyond first
aid), loss of consciousness, restriction of work or mo
tion, or transfer to another job.
Estimates are made for industries and employmentsize classes and for severity classification: Fatalities,
lost workday cases, and nonfatal cases without loss
workdays. Lost workday cases are separated into
those where the employee would have worked but
could not and those in which work activity was re
stricted. Estimates of the number of cases and the
number of days lost are made for both categories.
Most of the estimates are in the form of incidence
rates, defined as the number of injuries and illness, or
lost workdays, per 100 full-time employees. For this
purpose, 200,000 employee hours represent 100 em
ployee years. Only a few of the available measures
are included in the Handbook. Full detail is presented
in the annual bulletin, Occupational Injuries and Ill
nesses in the United States, by Industry.
Scope of survey
Virtually the entire private sector is covered by the
survey, except for the following: Self-employed indi
viduals (out of scope); small farms (excluded from
coverage by legislation); mining or metal ores, coal,
and nonmetallic minerals (collected by the Mine
Safety and Health Administration); and operation of
railroads (covered by the Federal Railroad Adminis
tration). The mining and railroad data are furnished to
b l s and participating State agencies and included in
412
publications. Federal employee experience is com
piled by the Occupational Safety and Health Adminis
tration. Data on State and local government employ
ees are collected by about half of the States and terri
tories; these are not compiled nationally.
bls
Classes of employees
The survey covers the experience of all classes of
employees in the industries covered: Production, op
erating, construction, sales, services, delivery, techni
cal, professional, office, administrative, clerical, and
all other personnel.
Sampling and estimating procedures
The sample design uses stratified random sampling
with a Neyman allocation. The characteristics used to
stratify the units are the State, sic code, and employ
ment. The sampling ratios at the various employmentsize classes ranged from all units above a certain size
class selected with certainty through declining pro
portions in each smaller employment-size class. The
data for all reporting units in each industry are ex
panded by the inverse of the sampling ratio, and
benchmarked to the appropriate employment level in
each industry.
More detailed information
The Supplementary Data System provides detailed
information describing various factors associated with
work-related injuries and illnesses obtained from in
formation reported by employers to State workers’
compensation agencies. The Work Injury Report pro
gram examines selected types of accidents from re
sponses by the employee to questionnaires designed to
develop additional information. These data are not in
cluded in the Handbook but may be obtained by con
tacting the b l s Office of Occupational Safety and
Health Statistics.

1 Total cases include fatalities. Because of rounding, the difference be
tween the total and the sum of the rates for lost workday cases and nonfatal cases without lost workdays does not reflect the fatality rate.
2 The incidence rates represent the number of injuries and illnesses or
lost workdays per 100 full-time workers and were calculated as:
(N/EH ) X 200,000, where:
N = number of injuries and illnesses or lost workdays.
EH= total hours worked by all employees during calendar year.
200,00 0= base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per
week, 50 weeks per year).
3 Data for agricultural production, all of mining except oil and gas extrac
tion, and railroads were not included in the 1972 estimates.
4 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees since 1976.
5 Estimates of 1972-75 for 2-digit and 3-digit SIC codes in retail trade
were published in bulletins 1830, 1874, 1932, and 1981, Bureau of Labor
Statistics.

Technical Notes
Foreign Labor Statistics
(C overs tables 135-147)
From its inception, b l s has conducted a program of
research and statistical analysis to compare labor con
ditions in the United States and selected foreign coun
tries. The principal comparative measures cover the
labor force, employment, and unemployment; produc
tivity, hourly compensation, and unit labor costs;
average hourly earnings and estimated levels of
hourly compensation costs; trends in prices and real
earnings; and industrial disputes. All of the measures
are based upon statistical data and other source mate
rials from (a) the statistical agencies of the foreign
countries studied; (b) international and supranational
bodies such as the United Nations, the International
Labour Office ( il o ), the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development ( o e c d ), and the Euro
pean Community ( e c ), which attempt to obtain com
parable country data; and (c) other secondary sources.
The Bureau does not initiate surveys or data collec
tion programs abroad.
International comparisons based on foreign labor
data are limited because statistical concepts and meth
ods in each country are fashioned primarily to meet
domestic rather than international needs. In some
cases, the data are sufficiently similar in definition and
concept for valid comparisons. In other cases, there
are substantial conceptual differences and the Bureau
adjusts the data to improve comparability or attempts
to describe the differences so users will not draw mis
leading conclusions. In adjusting the data for greater
comparability, the Bureau must depend on the avail
ability of relevant information, and, in some instances,
it is necessary to make estimates based on incomplete
data. Therefore, it is possible to achieve only approxi
mate statistical comparability among countries.
The basic labor force and unemployment statistics
of most foreign countries require some adjustment to
bring them into closer comparability with U.S. data.
This is particularly true for meaningful comparisons
of unemployment rates. The statistical incomparability
of national figures on unemployment is attributable to
two chief causes: (1) Differences in the systems for
collecting data, and (2) differences in concepts or
definitions. Table 135 provides the Bureau’s current
estimates of the civilian labor force, employment, em
ployment-to-population ratios, and unemployment ap
proximating U.S. concepts. While adjustments have
been made for all known major definitional differ
ences, it should be recognized that it is possible to
achieve only approximate statistical comparability
among the countries. Nevertheless, the adjusted fig
ures provide a better basis for international compari
sons than the figures regularly published by each
country. It should also be recognized that inter
country differences in unemployment rates reflect
substantial differences in social and institutional ar
rangements, as well as in economic performance.
Table 136 provides civilian labor force participation
rates by sex. These data relate to the civilian labor
force approximating U.S. concepts as a percent of the
civilian noninstitutionalized working age population.
Table 137 provides civilian employment by major
economic sector: Agriculture, industry, manufactur
ing, and services. For some countries, these sectoral
data could not be fully adjusted to U.S. definitions.
However, remaining differences are believed to be
small.
Table 138 provides indexes of manufacturing pro
ductivity (as measured by output per hour), hourly
compensation, unit labor costs (labor compensation
per unit of output), and related measures for the
United States and 10 other countries. The indexes are
constructed from three aggregate measures—manufac
turing output, total hours, and total compensation.
For most countries, the measures refer to total manu
facturing as defined by the International Standard In
dustrial Classification, but for some countries cover
age of one or all measures is not exact. The hourly
compensation and unit labor cost indexes are comput
ed in U.S. dollar values as well as in national curren
cy units so that changes in costs can be related to in
ternational trade competition.
Indexes of trade-weighted relative trends in manu
facturing productivity, hourly compensation, and unit
labor costs for the same 11 countries are shown in
table 139. The indexes of relative trends represent
ratios of each country’s own indexes to weighted geo
metric averages of the indexes of the other 10 coun
tries. The weights used to combine the other country
416
indexes reflect the relative importance of each coun
try as a manufacturing trade competitor.
Table 140 provides statistics on average weekly
hours of production workers in manufacturing in se
lected countries. The statistics are those collected
through establishment surveys of employment, earn
ings, and hours by the statistical agencies of each
country. They are not adjusted for comparability.
For international comparisons, b l s makes estimates
of hourly compensation costs for production workers
in manufacturing. These measures provide a better
basis for comparisons of labor costs than the earnings
statistics which are regularly published by many
countries. Average hourly earnings do not include all
items of labor compensation, nor do they include the
same items of compensation for every country. The
Bureau computes total compensation by adjusting reg
ularly published average hourly earnings statistics for
the items of compensation not included in earnings.
Adjustment factors are obtained primarily from peri
odic labor cost surveys interpolated or projected to
nonsurvey years on the basis of other available infor
mation; or they are obtained from surveys of manu
factures or reports on social security and fringe bene
fit systems. For consistency, compensation is meas
ured on an hours-worked basis for every country.
Hourly compensation is converted to U.S. dollars
using the average daily exchange rate for the refer
ence period. Changes in hourly compensation in U.S.
dollars from one period to another are, therefore, af
fected by changes in currency exchange rates as well
as by changes in compensation.
Hourly compensation in U.S. dollars indicates com
parative levels of employer labor costs. However, be
cause prices of goods and services vary greatly
among countries and the commercial market exchange
rates used to compare employer labor costs are not
reliable indicators of relative differences in prices,
these compensation figures do not indicate relative
living standards of workers.
Because compensation is partly estimated, the statis
tics should not be considered as precise measures of
comparative compensation costs. In addition, the
compensation figures shown for a number of countries
are the midpoint of an estimated average compensa
tion range.
Table 141 presents hourly compensation costs and
the average hourly earnings of production workers in
manufacturing for 34 countries. Table 142 presents
comparative figures on hourly direct pay as well as
hourly compensation costs for 10 countries. The
structure of compensation is shown for selected years
for these same 10 countries in table 143. The sources
of the structure data are primarily periodic labor cost
417
surveys from which the hourly compensation adjust
ment factors are obtained.
Indexes of real hourly and weekly compensation of
manufacturing employees are presented in table 144
for the 11 countries covered by the manufacturing
productivity and labor cost series. The real compensa
tion indexes are computed by adjusting the indexes of
nominal hourly and weekly compensation by indexes
of consumer prices. Real compensation measures the
constant purchasing power of total labor compensa
tion, including employer (and employee) payments to
both current and deferred social benefit plans as well
as the current labor income of employees. The differ
ences between the real hourly and weekly compensa
tion trends reflect changes in average hours.
Table 145 provides consumer price index statistics
for selected countries. The indexes reflect the market
basket of goods and services purchased by the whole
population or by a particular population group in
each country. No adjustments for comparability are
made in the total indexes except to convert them to a
uniform base year (1967=100). Indexes are also pre
sented for selected component expenditure categories
for several countries. For some of the countries, ad
justments have been made to the published indexes—
