This volume was compiled in the Office of Publica
tions by Eugene H. Becker with the cooperation of the
program offices of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Gloria
Green of the Bureau’s Office of Employment and Un
employment Statistics had special responsibility for the
photocomposition of tables 1 through 90; the Division
of Production Services of the Office of Publications
had responsibility for the photocomposition of the bal
ance of the book. Material in this publication is in the
public domain and, with appropriate credit, may be re
produced without permission.
This publication makes available in one volume the
major series produced by the Bureau of Labor Statis
tics. In general, each table begins with the earliest re
liable data and ends with 1983. Because of space limi
tations, some intervening years have been omitted from
most tables. These data can be found in the 1978 edi
tion of the H a n d b o o k (Bulletin 2000) or by contacting
the BLS Office of Publications. Data in this publication
may differ from data previously published. BLS data
are revised periodically to adjust to more recent bench
marks and to incorporate more complete data from
survey respondents. See the technical notes preceding
each major section for more information on data
changes and for explanations of the series. For a more
detailed description of individual Bureau programs

Technical Notes
Current Population Survey (household survey)
(Covers tables 1-62)
Collection and coverage
the sample population into three basic groups—the em
ployed, the unemployed, and those not in the labor
force.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 14 years of
age are not covered in the regular monthly enumera
tions and are excluded from the population and labor
force statistics. Data on members of the Armed Forces
stationed in the United States are obtained from the
Department of Defense and are included as part of the
categories “noninstitutional population,” “labor force,”
and “total employment.”
Statistics on the labor force, employment, unemploy
ment, and persons not in the labor force, classified by
a variety of demographic, social, and economic char
acteristics, are derived from the Current Population
Survey (CPS), which is conducted by the Bureau of the
Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A detailed
description of this survey appears in C o n cep ts a n d
M e th o d s U sed in L a b o r F o rce S ta tistic s D e r iv e d F ro m th e
C u rre n t P opu latio n S u rvey, BLS Report 463. Complete
historical national data appear in L a b o r F o rce S ta tistic s
D e r iv e d F ro m th e C u rre n t P o p u la tio n S u rvey: A D a ta b o o k ,
BLS Bulletin 2096, and its supplement.
These monthly surveys of the population are con
ducted using a scientifically selected sample of 60,000
households designed to represent the civilian noninstitutional population. In addition to providing monthly
statistics on the employment status of the population,
the CPS, through special inquiries repeated annually
in the same month, provides detailed supplementary in
formation from particular segments, or for particular
characteristics of the population. These inquiries include
the extent of work experience of the population during
the year, the marital and family status of workers, the
annual earnings and income of individuals and families,
and the employment status of such groups as working
mothers with children, high school graduates and drop
outs, and recent college graduates. Special surveys are
also conducted periodically on such subjects as occu
pational mobility and job tenure. Weekly and hourly
earnings information was collected in May until 1979;
for 1979 forward, quarterly and annual averages are
available.
Respondents are interviewed to obtain information
about the employment status of each member of the
household 16 years of age and over. (Separate monthly
statistics are also collected for 14- and 15-year-olds.)
The interviewer asks a series of standard questions on
activity or status during the calendar week, Sunday
through Saturday, which includes the 12th day of the
month; this is known as the survey week. Actual field
interviews are conducted during the following week.
The primary purpose of these questions is to classify
Concepts and definitions
The criteria used in classifying persons on the basis
of their labor force activity have been modified but not
substantially altered since the inception of the CPS in
1940. These criteria are as follows:
E m p lo y e d p e rso n s are (1) all civilians who, during the
survey week, did any work 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 (2) all
those who were not working but who had jobs or busi
nesses from which they were temporarily absent be
cause of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-manage
ment disputes, or various personal reasons, whether or
not they received pay for the time off or were seeking
other jobs. Members of the Armed Forces stationed in
the United States are also included in the employed
total.
Also included in the total are employed citizens of
foreign countries who are temporarily in the United
States but not living on the premises of an embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of
work around their own home (such as household chores,
painting, repairing, etc.) or volunteer work for religious,
charitable, and similar organizations.
U n e m p lo y e d p e rso n s are all civilians who had no em
ployment during the survey week, were available for
work, and (1) had made specific efforts to find employ
ment sometime during the prior 4 weeks, or (2) were
1
waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had
been laid off, or (3) were waiting to report to a new
job within 30 days.
Duration of unemployment represents the length of
time (through the current survey week) during which
persons classified as unemployed had been continuously
looking for work. For persons on layoff, duration rep
resents the number of full weeks since the termination
of their most recent employment. 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 jobsearching. Measurements of mean and me
dian duration are computed from a distribution of sin
gle weeks of unemployment.
Unemployment is also categorized according to the
status of individuals at the time they began to look for
work. These “reasons for unemployment” are divided
into four major groups: (1) Job losers are persons whose
employment ended involuntarily and who immediately
began looking for work and persons on either tempo
rary or indefinite layoff. (2) Job leavers are persons who
quit or otherwise terminated their employment volun
tarily and immediately began looking for work. (3) Re
entrants are persons who previously worked at a full
time job lasting 2 weeks or more 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 more.
The civilian la b o r fo r c e equals the sum of all civilians
classified as employed and unemployed in accordance
with the criteria described above. The la b o r fo r c e also
includes members of the Armed Forces stationed in the
United States.
The f u ll- tim e la b o r f o r c e consists of all civilians work
ing on full-time schedules, persons involuntarily work
ing part time for economic reasons, and unemployed
persons seeking full-time jobs. The p a r t-tim e la b o r fo r c e
consists of persons working part time voluntarily and
unemployed persons seeking part-time jobs. 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 o v e ra ll u n e m p lo y m e n t ra te represents the number
unemployed as a percent of the labor force, including
members of the Armed Forces stationed in the United
States.
The u n e m p lo y m e n t ra te f o r a ll civilian w o rk ers is the
percentage of unemployed persons in the civilian labor
force. This measure can be computed for groups within
the labor force, such as age, sex, race, ethnic origin,
marital status, etc.
P a rticip a tio n ra te s represent the percentage of the
population that is in the labor force. The la b o r fo r c e
p a rtic ip a tio n ra te is the ratio of the labor force, includ
ing the resident Armed Forces, to the noninstitutional
population; the civilia n la b o r fo r c e p a rtic ip a tio n ra te is
the ratio of the civilian labor force to the civilian non
institutional population.
E m p lo y m e n t-p o p u la tio n ra tio s represent the percent
age of the noninstitutional population that is employed.
The to ta l e m p lo y m e n t-p o p u la tio n ra tio is total employ
ment, including the resident Armed Forces, as a per
cent of the noninstitutional population. The civilian e m
p lo y m e n t-p o p u la tio n ra tio is the percentage of all em
ployed civilians in the civilian noninstitutional
population.
N o t in th e la b o r f o r c e includes all civilians 16 years
and over who are not classified as employed or un
employed. These persons are classified as “keeping
house,” “in school,” or “ unable to work” because of
long-term physical or mental illness, “retired,” and
“other.” The “other” group includes the voluntarily
idle, seasonal workers for whom the survey week fell
in an “off’ season and who were not reported as look
ing for work, those reported as too old to work, and
persons who did not look for work because they
believed that no jobs were available because of the pre
vailing economic situation or because of various per
sonal factors—age, lack of education or training, etc.
Persons doing only incidental, unpaid family work (less
than 15 hours during the survey week) are also classi
fied as not in the labor force. For persons not in the
labor force, detailed information is obtained on their
previous work experience, intentions to seek work, de
sire for a job at the time of interview, and reasons for
not seeking work.
O ccu p a tio n , in d u stry, a n d cla ss o f w o rk e r for the em
ployed pertain to the job held in the survey week. Per
sons with two or more jobs are classified in the occu
pation at which they worked the greatest number of
hours during the survey week. The unemployed in these
categories are classified according to their last full-time
job lasting 2 weeks or more. The occupation and in
dustry groups used in the CPS through December 1982
are defined as in the 1970 census. Beginning in January
1983, they are defined as in the 1980 census.
H o u rs o f w o rk statistics relate to the actual number
of hours worked during the survey week. For example,
persons who usually work 40 hours a week but were
off on the Columbus Day holiday would be reported
as working 32 hours even though they were paid for
the holiday. For persons working in more than one job,
the data 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 during the
survey week are designated as working full time. Cor
respondingly, those 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 or part time) and by their rea
son for working part time during the survey week (eco

usually received. The term “usual” is as perceived by
the respondent. If the respondent asks for a definition
of usual, interviewers are instructed to define the term
as more than half the weeks during the past 4 or 5
months. Data refer to wage and salary workers (ex
cluding the incorporated self-employed) who usually
work full time on their sole or primary job.
S in gle, n ever m a rrie d ; m a rried , spou se present-, and o th er
m a r ita l sta tu s are terms used to define the marital status
of individuals at the time of interview. Married, spouse
present, applies to husband and wife if both were re
ported as members of the same household even though
one may be temporarily absent on business, vacation,
on a visit, in a hospital, etc. Other marital status applies
to persons who are married, spouse absent; widowed;
or divorced. Married, spouse absent, includes persons
who are separated because of marital discord, as well
as persons who are living apart because either the hus
band or the wife was employed and living away from
home, serving in the Armed Forces, or had a different
place of residence for any reason.
A h o u seh o ld consists of all persons—related family
members and all unrelated persons—who occupy a
housing unit. A house, an apartment, a group of rooms,
or a single room is regarded as a housing unit when
occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living
quarters.
A h o u seh o ld er is the person (or one of the persons)
in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented.
The term is never applied to either husbands or wives
in married-couple families but relates only to persons
in families maintained by either men or women with
out a spouse.
F a m ily refers to a group of two or more persons re
siding together who are related by birth, marriage, or
adoption; all such persons are considered as members
of one family even though they may include a related
subfamily, that is, a married couple or a parent-child
group related by birth or marriage to the housholder
and sharing the living quarters. The count of families
used in this publicaton excludes unrelated subfamilies
such as lodgers, guests, or resident employees living in
a household but not related to the householder. Fami
lies are classified either as married-couple families or as
families maintained by women or men without spouses.
A family maintained by a woman or a man is one in
which the householder is either single, widowed,
divorced, or married, spouse absent. Data on the earn
ings of families exclude all those in which there is no
wage or salary earner or in which the husband, wife or
other person maintaining the family is either self-em
ployed or in the Armed Forces.
nomic or other reasons). Economic reasons include slack
work, material shortages, repairs to plant or equipment,
start or termination of a job during the week, and in
ability to find full-time work. Other reasons include la
bor-management disputes, bad weather, own illness, va
cations, 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.
R a c e of workers is described by the terms white,
black, and other. Included in the “other” group are
American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asians and Pa
cific Islanders. The term black is used in this volume
when the relevant data are provided exclusively for the
black population. Because of their relatively small sam
ple size, data for “other” races are not published. In
the enumeration process, race is determined by the
household respondent.
H isp a n ic origin refers to persons who identified them
selves in the enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto
Rican living on the mainland, Cuban, Central or South
American, or other Hispanic origin or descent. Persons
of Hispanic origin may be of any race; thus, they are
included in both the white and black population groups.
V ietn a m -era vetera n s are those who served in the
Armed Forces of the United States between August 5,
1964, and May 7, 1975. Data are limited to men in the
civilian noninstitutional population; that is, veterans in
institutions and women are excluded. Nonveterans are
men who never served in the Armed Forces.
The p o v e rty a rea s classification consists of all census
geographic divisions in which 20 percent or more of
the residents were poor according to the 1970 decen
nial census. Persons were classified as poor or not poor
by using income thresholds adopted by a Federal inter
agency committee in 1969. These thresholds vary by
family size, composition, and residence (farm-nonfarm).
While poverty areas have a substantial concentration
of low income residents, many poor persons live out
side these areas, and, conversely, the areas include many
people who are not poor.
The m etro p o lita n a rea s classification consists of the
total of all areas encompassed by Standard Metropoli
tan Statistical Areas (SMSA’s). The metropolitan area
total is based on the number of SMSA’s as defined in
the 1970 decennial census and does not include any
subsequent additions or changes. N o n m e tro p o lita n a rea s
refer to the total of all areas outside SMSA’s. The non
metropolitan total is disaggregated into farm and non
farm components.

January 1967. Insofar as possible, historical series have
been revised to provide consistent information based
on the population 16 years and over. For a detailed
discussion of this and other definitional changes intro

on the various series , see “New Definitions for Em

mation” in the February 1974 issue of E m p lo y m e n t a n d
E a rn in g s. (7) Effective July 1975, as a result of the im
migration of Vietnamese refugees into the United States,
the total and black-and-other independent population
controls for persons 16 years and over were adjusted
upward by 76,000—30,000 men and 46,000 women. The
addition of the refugees increased the black-and-other
population by less than 1 percent in any age-sex group,
and all of the changes were in the “other” population.
(8) Beginning in 1978, the introduction of an expansion
in the sample and revisions in the estimation procedures
resulted in an increase of about 250,000 in the civilian
labor force and employment totals; unemployment
levels and rates were essentially unchanged. An expla
nation of the procedural changes and an indication of
the differences appear in “Revisions in the Current
Population Survey in January 1978” in the February
1978 issue of E m p lo y m e n t a n d E a rn in g s. (9) Beginning
in January 1979, the first-stage ratio estimation method
was changed in the CPS estimation procedure. Differ
ences between the old and new procedure exist only
for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area estimates,
not for the total United States. The reasoning behind
the change and an indication of the differences appear
in “Change in the Estimation Procedure for the Cur
rent Population Survey Beginning in January 1979” in
the February 1979 issue of E m p lo y m e n t a n d E a rn in g s.
(10) Beginning in January 1982, the second-stage ratio
adjustment methodology was changed in the estimation
procedure. The purpose of the change and an indica
tion of its effect on national estimates of labor force
characteristics appear in “Revisions in the Current
Population Survey Beginning in January 1982” in the
February 1982 issue of E m p lo y m e n t a n d E a rn in g s. In
addition, current population estimates used in the sec
ond-stage estimation procedure are derived from infor
mation obtained from the 1980 census, rather than the
1970 census. This change caused substantial increases
in total population and estimates of persons in all labor
force categories. Rates for labor force characteristics,
however, remained virtually unchanged. Some 30,000
labor force series were adjusted back to 1970 to avoid
major breaks in series. The adjustment procedure used
is also described in the February 1982 article referred
to above. The revisions did not, however, smooth out
the breaks in series occurring between 1972 and 1979
that are described above, and data users should make
allowances for them in making certain data comparisons.
Beginning in January 1983, the first-stage ratio ad
justment methodology was updated to account for re
sults obtained from the 1980 census. The purpose of the
change and an indication of its effect on national esti
mates of labor force characteristics appear in “Revi
sions in the Current Population Survey Beginning in
January 1983” in the February 1983 issue of E m p lo y
m e n t a n d E a rn in g s. There are only slight differences
In addition
to the changes introduced in 1967, there are several
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 estimating proce
dures, population levels were raised by about 600,(XX);
civilian labor force, employment, and agricultural em
ployment were increased by about 350,000, primarily
affecting the figures for totals and males; other catego
ries were relatively unaffected. (2) Beginning in 1960,
the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii resulted in an in
crease of about 500,000 in the population and about
300,000 in the civilian labor force—four-fifths of this
increase was in nonagricultural employment; other la
bor force categories were not appreciably affected. (3)
Beginning in 1962, the introduction of data from the
1960 census reduced the population by about 50,000
and civilian labor force and employment by about
200,000; unemployment totals were virtually un
changed. (4) Beginning in 1972, information from the
1970 census was introduced into the estimation proce
dures, increasing the population by about 800,000; ci
vilian 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 black-and-other 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 black-and-other popula
tion. Civilian labor force and employment figures were
affected to a lesser degree; the white labor force was
reduced by 150,000, and the black-and-other labor force
rose by about 210,000. Unemployment levels and rates
were not significantly affected. (6) Beginning in 1974,
the methodology used to prepare independent estimates
of the civilian noninstitutional population was modified
to an inflation-deflation approach. This change in the
derivation of the estimates had its greatest effect on es
timates of 20- to 24-year-old males—particularly those
of the black-and-other population—but had little effect
on 16-and-over totals. Additional information on the
adjustment procedure appears in “CPS Population Con
trols Derived from Inflation-Deflation Method of Esti

fer from the figures that would be obtained if it were
possible to take a complete census, even if the same
questionnaires and procedures were used. The standard
error is the measure of sampling variation—the varia
tion that occurs by chance because a sample rather than
the entire population is surveyed. The numerical value
of a standard error depends upon the size of the sam
ple, the results of the survey, and other factors. How
ever, the numerical value is always such that the chances
are approximately 68 out of 100 that an estimate from
the survey differs from a figure that would be obtained
through a complete census by less than the standard
error. The chances are approximately 90 out of 100 that
an estimate based on the sample will differ by no more
than 1.6 times the standard error. At about the 90-per
cent level of confidence—the confidence limits used by
BLS in analysis of labor force data—the error for the
monthly change in civilian employment is on the order
of plus or minus 328,000; for total unemployment, it is
220,000; and for the civilian unemployment rate, it is
0.19 percentage point. These figures do not mean that
the sample results are off by these magnitudes but,
rather, that the chances are approximately 90 out of
100 that the “true” level or rate would not be expected
to differ from the estimates by more than these amounts.
Sampling errors for monthly surveys are reduced when
the data are cumulated for several months, such as quar
terly or annually. Tables B through K in the Explana
tory Notes of E m p lo y m e n t a n d E a rn in g s provide ap
proximations of the standard errors for unemployment
and other labor force estimates derived from the CPS.
between the old and new procedures in estimates of
levels for the various labor force characteristics and
virtually no differences in estimates of participation
rates.
C h a n g es in th e o ccu p a tio n a l a n d in d u stria l classification
Beginning in 1971, the comparability of occu
pational employment data was affected as a result of
changes in the occupational classification system for the
1970 census that were introduced into the CPS. Com
parability was further affected in December 1971, when
a question relating to major activity or duties was added
to to the monthly CPS questionnaire in order to deter
mine more precisely the occupational classification of
individuals. As a result of these changes, meaningful
comparisions of occupational employment levels could
not be made between 1971-72 and prior years nor be
tween those 2 years. Unemployment rates were not sig
nificantly affected. For a futher explanation of the
changes in the occupational classification system, see
“Revisions in Occupational Classification for 1971” and
“Revisions in the Current Population Survey” in the
February 1971 and February 1972 issues, respectively,
of E m p lo y m e n t a n d E a rn in g s.
Beginning in January 1983, the occupational and in
dustrial classification systems used in the 1980 census
were introduced into the CPS. These systems differ
from those developed for the 1970 census which were
used in the CPS from January 1971 through December
1982. While this conversion had little effect on indus
try-related data, the new occupational categories are so
radically different that their implementation represents
a break in historical data series.
Additional information on the 1980 census occupa
tional and industrial classification systems appears in
“Revisions in the Current Population Survey Beginning
in January 1983” in the February 1983 issue of E m p lo y
system .
State and Area Labor Force Data
(C overs tables 43-45)
Data on the labor force, employment, and unemploy
ment in State and sub-State areas are available from
two major sources—the Current Population Survey
(CPS) and the Federal-State Cooperative Program. This
publication presents data from the CPS for regions and
States. It provides annual averages for the employed
and the unemployed by selected demographic charac
teristics based on population counts projected from the
1980 decennial census.
The official Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates for
States, metropolitan areas, and central cities, which are
the basis for determining the eligibility of an area for
benefits under Federal economic assistance programs,
result from the Federal-State Cooperative Program.
BLS is responsible for establishing the estimating pro
cedures; the State employment security agencies are re
sponsible for developing the estimates. For all States
and the District of Columbia, the official annual aver
age estimates are obtained directly from the CPS.
m e n t a n d E arn in gs.
Rounding of estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal
the totals shown in the same tables because of inde
pendent rounding of totals and components to the near
est thousand. Similarly, sums of percent distributions
may not always equal 100 percent because of rounding.
Differences, however, are insignificant.
Moreover, estimates in this volume in many instances
may differ slightly from those previously published be
cause they reflect computations with new computer
techniques which maintain more precision in calcula
tions than the procedures previously used.
Sampling variability
Statistics derived from the CPS are subject to sam
pling error; that is, the estimates of employment, un
employment, and other labor force measures may dif

the white and black population groups. Because of the introduction of new estimation
techniques beginning in January 1983, data for 1983 are not comparable with those for

maintain families are somewhat different from marital status estimates shown in other

used in aggregating the data.
1 Excludes persons living alone or with nonrelatives, persons in married-couple
families where the husband or wife is in the Armed Forces, persons in unrelated
subfamilies, and those whose family status is unknown.
2 Data not shown where base is less than 35,000.

1 State error ranges for the Hispanic-origin population were not
available at the time of publication. The State error ranges provided are computed from the sampling error tables for black
workers and serve as an approximation of the sampling errors for
Hispanic workers. Error ranges are shown at the 90-percent confi-
dence interval, which means that, if repeated samples were drawn
from the same population and an error range constructed around
each sample estimate, in 9 out of 10 cases the true value based
on a complete census of the population would be contained within
these error ranges.

Technical Notes
Current Employment Statistics Program
(survey of business establishments)
(Covers tables 63-87)
This statistical program is conducted by BLS in co
operation w ith State agencies. Data from payroll
records, submitted voluntarily by over 200,000 em
ployers, provide current information on w age and salary
em ployment, hours, and earnings in nonagricultural es
tablishments by industry and geographic location.
For com plete historical data, see Employment, Hours,
and Earnings, United States, 1909-84, Bulletin 1312-12,
and Employment, Hours, and Earnings, States and Areas,
1939-82, Bulletin 1370-17, and their supplements.
ploym ent covers civilian em ployees only.
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports o f
payrolls and hours for production and related workers
in manufacturing and mining; construction workers in
construction; and nonsupervisory em ployees in the re
maining nonfarm components.
T he payroll figures relate to full- and part-time pro
duction, construction, or nonsupervisory workers w ho
receive pay for any part o f the reference period. T hey
are reported before deduction o f any kind; for example,
for old-age and unemployment insurance, group insur
ance, w ithholding tax, bonds, or union dues. Pay for
overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave is also
included.
Hours cover hours paid for during the pay period o f
reference for production, construction, or nonsupervi
sory workers. T he hours include hours paid for holi
days and vacations, and for sick leave.
Overtime hours cover premium overtim e hours o f pro
duction and related workers during the pay period.
Overtime hours are those for w hich premiums are paid
because the hours w ere in excess o f the number o f hours
o f the straight-time workday or workweek.
Indexes of aggregate weekly hours are prepared by di
viding the current m onth’s aggregate by the monthly
average for the 1977 period and multiplying that quo
tient by 100. T he hours aggregates are the product o f
average
w eekly
hours
and
production-worker
employment.
Average hourly earnings are derived by dividing pay
rolls by hours. These averages are on a “gross” basis,
reflecting not only changes in basic hourly and incen
tive w age rates, but also such variable factors as pre
mium pay for overtim e and late-shift work, and changes
in output o f workers paid on an incentive plan. T he
earnings series do not measure the level o f total labor
costs on the part o f the em ployer since the follow ing
are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive items, pay
ment o f various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by
employers, and earnings for those em ployees not c o v
ered under the production worker, construction worker,
or nonsupervisory em ployee definition.
Collection
Form BLS 790 (Report on Em ploym ent, Payroll, and
Hours) is the name o f the data collection schedule. It
is o f the “shuttle” type, with spaces for each month o f
the calendar year. T he cooperating State agencies mail
the reporting forms to the participating establishments
each month, use the information to prepare State and
area estimates, and then send the data to BLS in W ash
ington for use in preparing national series.
Form BLS 790 provides for reporting o f data on the
number o f full- and part-time workers for the pay pe
riod w hich includes the 12th o f the month. For the
same period in most industries, it also provides for re
porting data on payroll and hours o f production and
related workers, or nonsupervisory workers.
Concepts and definitions
Industrial classification o f all data on em ployment,
hours, and earnings for the Nation and for States and
areas is in accordance with the 1972 Standard Indus
trial Classification Manual, Office o f M anagement and
Budget.
Employment data refer to persons on establishment
payrolls w ho receive pay for any part o f the reference
pay period, and include workers on paid sick leave
(w hen pay is received directly from the firm), on paid
holiday or paid vacation, and those w h o work during
a part o f the pay period and are unem ployed or on
strike during the rest o f the period. Proprietors, the
self-em ployed, unpaid family workers, farm workers,
and dom estic workers are excluded. G overnm ent em
172
T he Hourly Earnings Index is calculated from the av
erage hourly earnings series. It adjusts these data to ex
clude the effects o f tw o types o f change unrelated to
underlying w age rate movements: Fluctuations in over
time in manufacturing (the only sector for w hich over
time data are available) and interindustry em ployment
shifts.
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime in manu
facturing are computed by dividing the total produc
tion worker payroll for the industry group by the sum
o f total production worker hours and one-half o f total
overtim e hours, w hich is equivalent to payrolls divided
by straight-time hours. This method assumes that over
time earnings are paid at one and one-half times the
straight-time rates; no adjustment is made for other
types o f premium payments.
Average weekly earnings are obtained by multiplying
average w eekly hours by average hourly earnings.
W eekly earnings are affected not only by changes in
average hourly earnings, but also by changes in the
length o f the workweek, part-time work, stoppages for
varying causes, labor turnover, and absenteeism.
Real earnings are calculated from earnings averages
for the current month using a deflator derived from the
Consumer Price Index for Urban W age Earners and
Clerical Workers (CPI-W ). The base period is 1977.
changes in the industrial activity o f establishments.
These adjustments may also affect the hours and earn
ings series since employment levels are used as weights.
Measures o f the reliability o f the data obtained from
the establishment survey and the actual amounts o f re
vision due to benchmark adjustments are provided in
tables M, O, P, and Q in the Explanatory N otes o f Em
ployment and Earnings.
Industry data for all national series in this edition o f
the Handbook have been adjusted to March 1983 bench
marks. Data from April 1983 forward are subject to
revision at the time o f the next benchmark adjustment.
Data for the individual States are also subject to revi
sion at the time the cooperating State agencies adjust
their series to later benchmarks.
Comparability with other series
Total employment in nonagricultural establishments
from the payroll survey is not directly comparable with
the Bureau’s estimates o f nonagricultural employment
obtained from the monthly household survey (Current
Population Survey). The household survey, a count o f
persons, includes the self-employed, unpaid family
workers, and private household workers. The payroll
series, in contrast, is a count o f jobs. Thus, the multiple
jobholder, counted only once in the household survey,
would be counted once for each job by the payroll sur
vey. Em ployment estimates developed by quinquennial
censuses may differ from payroll estimates due, pri
marily, to the reporting practices o f multiproduct es
tablishments, and administrative handling o f central of
fices and auxiliary units.
For a more detailed description o f this program, see
chapter 2, “Employment, Hours, and Earnings from the
Establishment Survey,” o f the BLS Handbook of
Methods, BLS Bulletin 2134-1.
Benchmark adjustments
A lthough the relatively large size o f the BLS estab
lishment sample assures a high degree o f accuracy, the
estimates derived from it may differ from the figures
that w ould be obtained if it w ere possible to take a
com plete census using the same schedules and proce
dures. The industry em ploym ent series are adjusted an
nually to new benchmarks (com prehensive counts o f
employm ent) to correct for sampling variability and for
