Low-Wage Labor Exploring low-wage labor with the National Compensation Survey An analysis based on the National Compensation Survey of Occupational Wages indicates that low-wage work is concentrated in jobs that require low-level skills Jared Bernstein and Maury Gittleman Jared Bernstein is an economist at the Economic Policy Institute, Washington, DC ; Maury Gittleman is a research economist in the Office of Compensation and Working Conditions, Bureau of Labor Statistics.E-mail: jbernstein @epinet.org or gittleman.maury@bls.gov A number of studies have examined the characteristics of low-wage workers and their wage trends.1 Most of these studies analyze the earnings and characteristics of low-wage workers themselves, in large part because such data are readily available. Less work has focused on the characteristics and, in particular, the skill demands of low-wage jobs.2 This article uses a relatively new data set to examine the skill content of low-wage jobs. The data set is from the National Compensation Survey of Occupational Wages (NCS), a survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and one in which the unit of observation is the job, not the worker.3 That is, information in the NCS relates to narrowly defined occupations and provides data on wages, industries, unionization, full- or part-time status, and other useful characteristics associated with those occupations. A major advantage of the NCS is the assignment of so-called leveling factors to each job. The factors, described in detail in the next section, are designed to explain the content of the job on a number of dimensions, including knowledge required, complexity, and supervisory responsibilities, among others. The factors provide unique information about the skill demands, job responsibilities, and working conditions of jobs in the current economy. After describing the low-wage labor market in terms of leveling factors, the article goes on to examine the relationship between job content and wages, focusing on jobs at the bottom of the wage distribution. Of particular interest is explaining why the wages in such jobs are so low. Certainly, one explanation is that productivity is low in these jobs, but other explanations are possible as well—for example, that workers in low-wage jobs have limited bargaining power. The NCS data on each job’s skill requirements and responsibilities, which will be seen to serve as proxies for the level of productivity, provide an opportunity to address this issue. From the data, a low-skill profile is created that groups jobs together wherein only low levels of each of the factors are required. Regression analysis then examines the question of whether the low pay of such jobs can be explained by the job content or whether, after controlling for job content, there remains a negative wage premium. The latter turns out to be the case, for which various interpretations are offered. The NCS The data for the analysis that follows come from the 2001 NCS. With the use of appropriate weights, the survey is designed to be representative of private establishments with 1 or more workers (with the exception of agriculture and private households) and State and local governments with 50 or more workers. The Federal Government is excluded from the scope of the survey. The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses the survey to produce statistics on mean Monthly Labor Review November/December /2003 3 Low-Wage Labor wages by occupation, for the United States as a whole and for roughly 80 metropolitan areas. The sample of the NCS is selected in three stages. First, geographic areas are chosen for study, and then, within each area, a representative sample of establishments is drawn. Within each establishment, information is collected on a sample of jobs, with the number of jobs depending on the size of the establishment. The Bureau then collects data on the hourly wage for a given job, which is an average of the wages of all workers in the job. Defined as the organization’s most narrow occupational classification, the job is thus the unit of observation used in this study. The survey contains information on establishment characteristics, as well as on attributes of the job. Of the latter, the most important for the purposes of this article are the variables that measure job content. The survey contains 10 such measures, referred to as leveling factors.4 All but one of the factors are drawn from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s Factor Evaluation System, which is used to provide a grade level—and thus establish a pay range—for U.S. Federal Government positions. For each factor, an integer score is given, ranging from 1 up to the highest level possible.5 The scores are based on job descriptions and interviews with company representatives. The factors do not give information directly on the amount of education, training, and experience needed for the job, but rather describe different dimensions of the work, with most factors indicating either the level of skills needed to carry out a job successfully or the responsibilities that the incumbent has. In addition, the factors include measures relating to the working conditions of the job. The knowledge factor assesses the nature and extent of information that workers must understand to do acceptable work, as well as the nature and extent of the skills needed to apply their understanding. A related factor, complexity, is an index of the intricacy of tasks, the difficulties involved in identifying what work needs to be done, and the degree to which high levels of analytical skills are required to carry out the work. The factor guidelines measures whether the employee has discretion in carrying out the work or must follow strict, detailed guidelines. The factor scope and effect gauges both the breadth of the work and its impact within and outside the organization. Low scores on this factor are given to those who perform routine work, the influence of which does not extend beyond the immediate organizational unit, while the highest scores are reserved for those involved in planning, developing, and carrying out programs that have a major impact on the mission of an organization. These four factors can be subsumed under the rubric “analytic skills,” although they capture dimensions of the job that go beyond that term’s connotation. Two of the 10 leveling factors serve to establish a worker’s place in an organization’s hierarchy. Supervision received 4 Monthly Labor Review November/December 2003 gives a sense of the autonomy of the worker with respect to his or her supervisor; supervisory duties assesses the extent to which the worker supervises other workers. Two other factors also relate to the nature of a worker’s job-related interpersonal relationships, not, however, with those ranking directly above or below the worker. A job receives a low rating for personal contacts if an employee’s interactions are mainly with workers in the same unit or with the public, but in highly structured settings where the worker cannot exercise any discretion. High ratings for this factor go to jobs in which the contacts are with top-ranking officials from outside the company in highly unstructured settings. Purpose of contacts rates the nature of the contacts, which range from those merely intended to obtain or provide factual information to those whose “purpose is to justify, defend, negotiate, or settle matters involving significant or controversial issues.”6 The final two factors measure physical aspects of the job. The factor physical demands gauges whether the work requires significant physical exertion, as well as whether specific physical abilities are required, such as agility or dexterity. Finally, as its name implies, work environment has to do with working conditions and is less closely related to a job’s skill requirements and responsibilities than are the other factors. Work environment considers whether the worker has to be concerned about the risk of injury coming from potentially dangerous machinery or materials, from difficult working conditions, such as working at great heights, or from the threat of physical attack. Defining low-paid work In order to describe the low-wage labor market, it is necessary to define what is meant by “low wage.” Because there is no consensus among economists as to how to define the term, three different definitions are set forth in this study. In operationalizing these definitions, jobs are weighted by the number of hours the jobholder works in the course of a year. Thus, the measures presented of the prevalence of low-paid work are in terms of the share of total hours worked for low wages, rather than the proportion of jobs that pay low wages. Two of the definitions of “low wage” are relative measures, in that work in a given job is classified on the basis of how that job’s hourly wage rate compares with the hourly wage rates of other jobs. The first defines an hour of work as being remunerated at a low wage if the hourly rate of pay is below two-thirds of the median rate of pay, which, in the 2001 NCS data, implies a cutoff of $8.67. This definition is one that has been used in cross-country comparisons.7 With such a definition, a movement toward a more unequal distribution of wages will tend to increase the share of work that is low paid. The second definition defines low wages as those wage rates which fall into the bottom quintile of the wage distribution. Clearly, with such a definition, the share of hours worked that will be classified as low paid will not change as the distribution of wages changes and will instead be fixed at 20 percent.8 The final definition of low paid is an absolute one, encompassing all hours for which earnings are below $8 per hour. This rate was chosen because it is a characteristic wage rate of those in low-wage jobs. It is near the average earned by many welfare leavers9 and is also close to the average of jobs in the lowwage profile created from the data later in the analysis. Before turning to a description of the low-wage labor market on the basis of the measures of job content, it is useful to measure the size of that market and, for purposes of comparison with past work, describe it in terms of job and establishment characteristics that are available in other data sets. As shown in the following tabulation, defining low pay on the basis of two-thirds of the median wage implies that 21.6 percent of hours worked are low paid, not far from the 20 percent that are low paid according to the bottom-quintile definition: Definition of “low paid” Share of hours worked that are low paid Wage rate less than two-thirds median wage rate ........................... Bottom quintile ............................... Wage rate less than $8 per hour ...... 21.6 20.0 16.3 According to the absolute definition, the share of hours that are low paid is a bit smaller: 16.3 percent. Characteristics of low-paid jobs Table 1 shows, for each definition of “low paid,” the share of hours worked that is low paid, by establishment characteristic. Among the major industry divisions, retail trade stands out as having by far the largest share of low-paid hours worked, with a majority (or near majority for the absolute definition of low paid) of hours worked falling into this category. The industry division with the next highest concentration of lowpaid jobs, services, has a rate of low pay that is close to that for the economy as a whole. Public administration has the lowest rate, although the proportions for mining; construction; and transportation, communications, and public utilities are just a few percentage points more. Consistent with research which shows that pay tends to increase with employer size,10 the rate of low pay is highest at small establishments and falls monotonically as establishment size rises. The difference between the smallest and the largest establishments is quite striking, with one-quarter to one-third of hours worked in establishments with fewer than 100 employees being low paid, compared with less than 1 in 20 in establishments with 2,500 or more employees. Jobs in the for-profit sector are considerably more likely to be low paid than those in the realm of nonprofit work, and the same is true for jobs in privately owned establishments relative to those in establishments owned by State and local governments.11 Table 2 presents the share of hours worked that are low Table 1.

Major occupation groups can be divided into three categories in terms of the prevalence of low-wage work. The first category, comprising the three high-level white-collar groups (managers, professional specialty occupations, and technical workers) and the lone group of skilled blue-collar occupations (precision production, craft, and repair workers), has a very small share of work that is low paid. Occupations in the second category—administrative support occupations; machine operators, assemblers, and inspectors; and transportation and material-moving occupations—have a moderate share of lowpaid work, ranging from about 10 percent to 20 percent, depending on the definitions. Finally, sales occupations; handlers, equipment cleaners, helpers, and laborers; and service workers, the major occupation groups with the highest share of low-paid work, ranging from 30 percent to 50 percent, make up the third category of occupations. There is a large difference in the rates of low pay between nonunion and union jobs, with the rate for the former being roughly 3 times that of the latter. This gap is due to the twin facts that, for a given job, pay tends to be higher in the union than in the nonunion sector12 and that the rate of unionization among the least skilled workers is lower than it is for other workers.13 Part-time jobs are highly likely to be low paid, with three-fifths to two-thirds of hours worked falling into that category, depending upon the definition used. In contrast, the rates for full-time work range from about 10 percent to 15 percent. As with differences in rates of low pay by union status, the gap in wages between part-time and full-time work is attributable to two factors, in this case (1) the greater prevalence of part-time jobs in industries and occupations in which both part- and fulltimers are low paid and (2) lower wage rates paid part-timers for the same jobs that full-timers do.14 Skill levels of low-paid jobs As noted earlier, the NCS is unique in that it provides information on the skills, responsibilities, and working conditions associated with each job. Before turning to see where lowwage jobs stand in terms of the job content scores, it is useful to examine the distribution of those scores for the labor market as a whole, shown in table 3. The first factor listed in the table is knowledge, which past research has shown is the job content measure most strongly related to wages.15 There are nine different levels for this factor; those jobs at level 5 require the sort of knowledge one would acquire by obtaining a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent in experience and training. Approximately one-quarter of hours worked require knowledge at level 5 or above, which is in rough accord with the share of employees with 4-year degrees. At the other end of the scale, level 1, some 12 percent of jobs require little or no previous training or experience; just above this level, nearly half of hours worked are at knowledge levels 2 and 3. The distribution of hours worked by level of complexity is broadly similar, with more than 70 percent of work at levels 2 and 3. The pattern is somewhat different for the factor called guidelines and for that titled scope and effect: about onethird of hours worked are at the lowest level, another one- Table 2.

Turning to factors relating to interpersonal interactions on the job, it is evident that most jobs are structured so that employees receive a fair degree of supervision: only 6 percent of hours worked are in jobs in which the supervision received is at level 4 or above. (At level 4, the supervisor sets the overall objectives, but the employee and supervisor, in consultation, develop the deadlines, projects, and work to be done.) The flip side of the coin is that the vast majority of jobs—the 80 percent of hours rated at level 1—have no supervisory responsibilities whatsoever. More generally, in nearly 90 percent of hours worked, personal contacts are quite restricted: interaction is either with employees in the same establishment or with the general public, but in structured settings (levels 1 and 2). Consistent with this observation, the vast majority of jobs is at the lowest two levels for purpose of contacts as well. In light of the ongoing shift of the economy from bluecollar to white-collar jobs, it may be surprising that nearly three-fifths of hours worked are in jobs that require some physical exertion, including long periods of standing; recurring bending, crouching, and stooping; and recurring lifting of moderately heavy items. Work is almost evenly divided between that involving normal safety precautions typical of such places as offices, meeting and training rooms, libraries, residences, and commercial vehicles and that involving moderate risks or discomforts requiring special safety precautions, such as those typically utilized in work with machinery, contagious diseases, or irritant chemicals. Only 2 percent of hours worked are in jobs with high risks, either from exposure to dangerous situations or because of unusual environmental stress that requires a range of safety and other precautions. Table 4 shows the share of hours worked that is low paid for each level of each factor. For knowledge level 1, for example, 78.5 percent of hours are paid at or below two-thirds of the median hourly wage. It is clear that individuals in a job rated at that level, which requires knowledge of only simple, routine, or repetitive tasks and little or no previous training, are highly likely to be holding positions that are classified as low paid, independently of the definition of low paid. For knowledge level 2, roughly one-quarter to two-fifths of the hours worked are low paid. Workers whose jobs have a knowledge rating of level 3 or above are highly unlikely to have low-paid jobs. The other three factors in the analytic skills category show broadly similar relationships between job level and the share of low-paid workers: at least two-fifths of hours worked at level 1 for these factors are low paid, with the share dropping quickly as one moves to higher levels. As regards the four interpersonal factors, the patterns are somewhat different. With the exception of supervision received, the share of work at level 1 that is low paid never exceeds 40 percent. The lower share than that for factors in the analytic skills category is partly a consequence of the fact that level 1 of the interpersonal factors—again with the exception of supervision received—tends to contain a larger share of total hours worked than is the case for factors in the analytic skills category. Thus, low-paid hours are less likely to dominate the interpersonal-factor categories. This lesser prevalence is most clearly seen in the case of supervisory duties: with about 80 percent of hours worked at level 1—a level with no supervisory responsibilities—and the share of low-paid work in the neighborhood of 20 percent, the mathematical limit on the rate of low-paid work is about 25 percent. Even so, it is still the case that, for the interpersonal factors, there is a strong negative relationship between the job level and the share of work that is low paid. This is not true, however, for the two factors gauging physical aspects of the Monthly Labor Review November/December 2003 7 Low-Wage Labor Table 4.

A similar finding is evident for the factor measuring the work environment: jobs with moderate safety risks are more likely to be low paid than both jobs with low risks and jobs with high risks. Wage penalties and low-skilled work As expected, the descriptive tables show a fairly clear link between lower levels of skill demands and low wages. The question remains as to the extent to which these skill factors fully explain the wages paid in low-wage jobs. That is, if we consider the hourly wage in the job to be an outcome variable, can the leveling factors, along with other characteristics of the job that are correlated with wages, explain the pay gap between low-wage and higher wage jobs? If not, then to what do we attribute the remaining gap? Is it evidence of a wage penalty suffered by those in low-wage jobs? This section uses regression analysis to examine these questions. The goal is to shed light on the question of whether the pay in less skilled jobs is in accordance with productivity (as represented by the leveling factors) or whether there is an additional wage penalty associated with low-skilled work. To address this issue, it is necessary to designate which jobs are low skilled. Toward that end, the leveling factors are used to create a low-skill profile. That is, the scores on a combination of factors are used, with levels chosen that are consistent with less skilled job content. For example, jobs with low knowledge requirements (“simple, routine, or repetitive tasks”) and low complexity (“the work consists of tasks that are clear-cut and directly related. There is little or no choice to be made in deciding what needs to be done”) are selected to be in the profile. Jobs within this profile also have no supervisory duties and are in fact tightly controlled by supervisors. Further, the worker’s personal contacts within and without the firm are limited and involve only routine responsibilities, such as those common to a receptionist and not an architect. A complete definition of the low-skill profile is given in table 5. On average, jobs with the low-wage profile pay an hourly wage of $8.33, compared with a mean of $18.37 for the rest of the jobs in the labor market. To begin to explain this gap, the logarithm of hourly wages is regressed on the profile indicator, giving a baseline wage gap between low- and higher skilled jobs. Then, establishment and job characteristics are added, in turn, to the regression, followed, finally, by the factor scores.16 With each new set of wage determinants, the magnitude and statistical significance of the negative wage premium associated with jobs that have a low-skill profile are examined, with the aim of gauging the extent to which these other determinants explain the negative premium associated with low-skill work. If the other regressors fully explain the gap (that is, if the coefficient on the profile goes to zero), then there is arguably no wage penalty associated with low-wage work—or at least none that cannot be explained by establishment or job characteristics and skill demands. The first row of table 6 shows the “raw differential”: the relative difference between the pay of jobs that have a lowskill profile and the pay of other jobs. (This regression contains only the profile indicator and a constant.17) The coefficient is a highly significant –0.708; measured in log points, it implies a negative pay differential of about 51 percent.18 Adding establishment characteristics reduces the coefficient by about 0.20 log point. The addition of job characteristics has an even larger effect, lowering the profile coefficient by another 0.25 log point. Although these reductions in the raw differential are significant, after controlling for establishment and job characteristics we are still left with a coefficient on the profile of –0.265 with a very large tstatistic, implying that jobs requiring this low-level combination of skills pay about 23 percent less than other jobs, on average. Clearly, this is a large difference. However, the regression just carried out does not control for the full range of leveling factors. Once they are controlled for, in the fourth row of the table, the absolute value of the coefficient on the low-wage profile falls sharply, to –0.055, although it is still highly significant. This is obviously of a considerably smaller magnitude, but it still deserves attention because, after all, among labor economists, it is widely held that an extra year of schooling raises wages by an amount only slightly greater in magnitude. Thus, for jobs that combine low content scores—and many low-wage jobs do—hourly wages are about 5 percent lower than would be predicted by a model that includes job content scores and other highly detailed controls. How is such a result to be interpreted? One possibility is that workers in low-skilled jobs are paid even less than what one would predict on the basis of the skill demands of their jobs. This situation could arise if such workers do not have the bargaining power to Table 5. Definitions of low-skill and high-skill profiles Factor Knowledge ..........................

A second possibility is that the model is overstating the productivity level of those in low-skilled jobs by not taking into account the interactions among the different factors— interactions that are implicit in the definition of the low-skill profile. To take one out of many possible interactions among the factors, the increase in wages that occurs when the level of the knowledge factor rises may depend on the level of the factor for scope and effect; in other words, there may be greater returns to knowledge when work has a greater impact on the organization as a whole. Interactions will then be important in cases where productivity is not just the sum of different skills, but in fact depends on the combination of different skills. To take a simple example from the world of sports, to be an effective “serve and volley” tennis player, it is necessary both to have a good serve and to volley well. If one of these two components is mediocre, the serve-and-volley strategy will not work very well. The data presented do not uniquely determine an interpretation that is most accurate. Given that the job and establishment controls, including industry, occupation, sector, union status, and size of establishment—all of which are significant in these regressions—are fairly extensive, it could be argued, on the one hand, that the model does in fact control for many important correlates of bargaining power, favoring the second, skill-based interpretation. On the other hand, because the NCS is job, and not person, based, the model lacks controls for personal characteristics, including race and gender, which might be associated with lower pay.19 Take, for example, a low-skilled job like food preparation. It could be that low knowledge and low complexity interact to lead to a less productive outcome, or it could be that such jobs incur a wage penalty even after the model controls for relevant skill demands. Again, we cannot resolve this important interpretive difference, but we can test to see whether the same analytical issue exists with regard to high-skilled jobs. To do so, we ask whether the same type of premium exists in reverse for jobs with high factor scores. If not, one might argue that low-wage workers fall uniquely outside of a model in which the pay in jobs is closely tied to productivity; that is, while the earnings associated with high-skilled jobs are fully explained by returns to skill, the pay in low-skilled jobs is not. (Such jobs carry an extra penalty.) Jobs that have a high-skill profile, by the definition presented here (see table 5), are high in knowledge (equivalent to the knowledge that would be acquired by earning a bachelor’s degree), are reasonably complex (“[the] work includes various duties and unrelated processes and methods”), and have guidelines that are not completely spelled out. These jobs also have at least some degree of supervisory duties and involve personal contacts that extend beyond employees in the immediate organization. Results for the high-skill profile are shown in table 6. The raw differential, a highly significant 0.903, is even larger in absolute value than in the low-skill case. The next two rows show a similar pattern, as the addition of other determinants sharply reduces the high-skill-profile coefficient. However, in contrast to the case for low-skill jobs, when the leveling factors are added to the specification the coefficient falls to nearly zero and is not statistically significant. Unlike the pay in low-skill jobs, pay in high-skill jobs appears to be fully explained by skill content. However, this result is not robust, in that it is sensitive to how the high-skill profile was defined, in an admittedly arbitrary manner. By changing the definition of the high-skill profile only slightly—supervisory responsibilities were no longer required—the coefficient on the profile remained significant after the leveling factors were controlled for. For example, as shown in the fourth row of the table, the lowwage-profile coefficient is –0.055 (t-statistic = –3.98); the last row shows that the analogous coefficient for the initial highskill profile is an insignificant 0.021 (t-statistic = 1.62). If, however, the supervisory requirements are lowered slightly, that coefficient rises to 0.034, with its t-statistic of 2.79 Table 6.

Unfortunately, here again, two legitimate, but contradictory, interpretations remain. The results could support the case that, unlike high-skilled jobs, low-skilled jobs carry a unique wage penalty that remains once skill is controlled for (although this result is sensitive to how we define high-skilled jobs). But the results are also consistent with the argument that the wage penalty is simply a function of skill interactions, an explanation in keeping with pay being commensurate with productivity. USING THE NCS, THIS ARTICLE HAS EXAMINED the extent of lowwage work in the current labor market. The descriptive analysis presented reveals that, under various definitions of the term, a significant share of hours is devoted to low-wage work. For example, just under 22 percent of all hours worked in 2001 paid less than two-thirds the median wage rate ($8.67), one widely used measure of low earnings. An important feature of the NCS is its leveling factors, which delineate in some detail the skill requirements of the jobs in the U.S. labor market. The analysis shows that low-wage work is disproportionately concentrated among low scores on these measures of skill content. The leveling factors, along with a set of other useful controls, allow some of the determinants of low pay to be tested. A hypothetical low-skill profile aids in examining whether a variable indicating that a job is low skilled has explanatory power after controlling for skill demands. The analysis reveals that it does, which is consistent with the presence of a penalty to low-skilled work beyond what can be explained by factors describing the skills and knowledge required for the job. Alternatively, low skill levels on a combination of factors (as measured by the postulated lowskill profile) may indicate an interaction effect that leads to productivity levels lower than what is implied by a consideration of the factors in isolation. An issue that arose during the analysis was whether the finding that the low pay associated with low-skill jobs was not fully accounted for by the level of skill demands was unique to low-skilled workers or whether an analogous situation held for high-skilled workers. A high-skill profile created for the purpose lent some support to the notion that high-skilled jobs do not earn a premium relative to other jobs, after skill content is taken into account. However, this result was not robust to a slight change in the way the high-skill profile was constructed. In sum, the approach presented in this article does not allow a definitive determination of whether low-skilled jobs are low paid even after taking account of their low skill content or whether such jobs pay less because their combination of low-skill requirements generates a lower productivity and thus a lower wage. Yet, along with the prevalence of low-wage work, the results clearly show that, in accordance with either interpretation, workers in these jobs face significant hurdles.

The survey provides comprehensive measures of occupational wages, compensation cost trends, the incidence of benefits, and detailed benefit provisions. The analysis that follows uses data only from that part of the survey concerned with occupational wages. 3 The description of the factors is based on National Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, Bulletin 2552 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, January 2003). 4 5 One factor, knowledge, has nine possible levels, but all the other factors have six or fewer, with two having only three levels. 6 National Compensation Survey, p. 167. 7 See, for example, “Making the Most of the Minimum: Statutory Minimum Wages, Employment and Poverty,” Employment Outlook (Paris, Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, June 1998). 8 Given that the sample is designed to be representative of local areas, it is possible to define the two relative measures in terms of the local distribution of wages or the national one. That is, one can classify hours as low paid when the rate of pay is below two-thirds of the median wage for the Nation or for the area; a similar choice is available for definitions based on the bottom quintile of the wage distribution. It turns out that the results obtained from the local wage distributions are quite similar to those based on the national distribution, so, for the sake of brevity, only the latter are reported. 9 See, for example, Elise Richer, Steve Savner, and Mark Greenberg, Frequently Asked Questions about Working Welfare Leavers (Washington, DC , Center for Law and Social Policy, 2001), a review of studies of those families leaving welfare. 10 See, for example, Walter Y.

Idson, “Firm Size and Wages,” in Orley Ashenfelter and David Card (eds.), Handbook of Labor Economics, Vol. III (Amsterdam, North-Holland, 1999), chapter 33, pp. 2166–2214. 11 Establishments owned by State and local governments (recall that the Federal Government is outside the scope of the survey) are not identical to those in public administration, because governmentowned institutions, such as schools and hospitals, are classified in the industry division for services. 12 See H.

Mosisa Abraham T. Mosisa is an economist in the Division of Labor Force Statistics, Bureau of Labor Statistics. E-mail: Mosisa.Abraham@bls.gov P overty statistics are used to gauge the economic well-being of the Nation. The number and characteristics of people who experience economic hardship because of very low income levels is a function of very complex socioeconomic, family, and individual issues.1 A number of people who are in poverty also participate significantly in the labor force. In 2001, 32.9 million people of all ages, or 11.7 percent of the population, lived at or below the official poverty level. 2 Most of them were children, or adults who had not participated in the labor force during the year. However, about 6.8 million were 16 years and older and were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more during the year. These persons, also referred to as the working poor, represented 4.9 percent of all persons 16 years and older who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more—an increase of 319,000 (0.2 percentage point) from the previous year. This article defines the working poor3 as individuals who spend at least 27 weeks in the labor force (that is, working or looking for work), but whose incomes fell below the official poverty level. The income thresholds used to determine persons’ poverty status differ, depending on whether the individuals are family members or are living alone or with nonrelatives. For family members, the poverty threshold is determined by their families’ total income; for persons not living in families, their personal income is used as the determinant. This article presents data on the relationships between labor force activity and poverty in 2001 for individual workers, including those who were family4 members and those who did not live with their families. A variety of economic, demographic, educational, occupational, and family characteristics of the working poor are explored. Also, three major labor market problems that can impede a worker’s ability to earn an income above the poverty threshold5 are examined. In the final section, the trend in working poor since 1987 is discussed. For the most part, the data used in this article were collected in the 2002 Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS).6 Overall characteristics In 2001, the proportion of those who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more who were classified as working poor continued to be higher for women than for men—5.5 versus 4.4 percent— even though the proportion of working men living in poverty edged up by 0.3 percentage point over the year, while that for women was unchanged. However, the rates for both groups remain well below their decade-high levels in 1993 of 7.3 percent for women and 6.2 percent for men. (See table 1.) Young workers are more vulnerable to poverty than those in other age groups, partly because their earnings are lower and they are more likely to be unemployed than older workers.

Among the youth who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more in 2001, 10.4 percent of 16- to 19-year-olds and 9.9 percent of 20- to 24-year-olds were in poverty. These rates were more than double the rate for workers aged 35 to 44 (4.3 percent), and more than triple the rate for workers 45 to 54 years of age (2.9 percent). Minority teenage workers, in particular, are more likely to be in poverty. Among teenagers who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more, 23.3 percent of blacks and 14.3 percent of Hispanics were in poverty, compared with 8.8 percent of whites. Overall, Hispanic and black workers were disproportionately represented among the working poor, as they continued to experience poverty at rates that were more than twice that of whites (10.1 and 9.6 percent versus 4.3 percent, respectively). Education. The incidence of living in poverty greatly diminishes as workers achieve higher levels of education. People with higher levels of education have better access to higher paying jobs, such as managerial and professional specialty occupations, than those with lower levels of education. In 2001, only 1.5 percent of college graduates were counted among the working poor, compared with 5.8 percent of high school graduates (no college), and 13.1 percent of high school 14 Monthly Labor Review November/December 2003 dropouts. At all major educational levels except college graduates, women were more likely than men to be among the working poor. At all major educational levels, blacks were more likely to be among the working poor than were whites. (See table 2.) Among whites, the differences in the working poor rate by education between men and women were relatively small. For example, the working poor rate for white men without a high school diploma was 11.1 percent, compared with 13.6 percent for the women. Among white college graduates, women were a little less likely than men to be among the working poor – 1.2 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively. Among blacks, however, the situation was different; black women were considerably more likely than their male counterparts to be among the working poor. About 25 percent of black women without a high school diploma were among the working poor, compared with 15.4 percent of men; 2.6 percent of black women college graduates were among the working poor, compared with 1.9 percent of men. The gender difference in the working poor rates among blacks by education may partly reflect the fact that 4 of 10 black families are maintained by women. Occupation.

In fact, the 2 million working poor in service occupations accounted for 31.3 percent of all those classified as the working poor. Within the category of service workers, 20.4 percent of private household workers (that is, housekeepers, childcare workers, and cooks), were among the working poor. About 11.6 percent of service workers such as bartenders, waiters and waitresses, dental assistants, janitors, and hairdressers (excluding private households or protective services occupations) were classified as working poor. In contrast, persons employed in managerial and professional specialty occupations, occupations with typically high earnings, were least likely to be classified as working poor (1.4 percent).

Monthly Labor Review November/December 2003 15 Working Poor Family characteristics Nearly 3.7 million families with at least one member in the labor force for 27 weeks or more (5.9 percent of all such families) lived below the poverty level in 2001, up from 5.6 percent in the previous year. Married-couple families with one member in the labor force for 27 weeks or more had a lower incidence of poverty than did either families maintained by women or families maintained by men (no spouse present). This was true regardless of which member of the married-couple family was in the labor force. (See table 4.) The poverty threshold for families reflects both the total family income and the number of family members. The more Table 4. workers a family has, the higher its income is likely to be and therefore the less likely the family is to be living below the poverty line. For example, only 0.8 percent of families with three or more members in the labor force for 27 weeks or more and 1.7 percent of families with two such labor force participants were among the working poor in 2001. In contrast, 12.2 percent of families with only one member in the labor force for 27 weeks or more were in poverty. The larger the family, however, the higher the level of income needed to keep the family out of poverty. In addition, the presence of children can reduce the ability of one or both of the parents to participate fully in the labor force. Thus, working families with children, regardless of type of family, Primary families: Poverty status, presence of related children, and work experience of family members in the labor force for 27 weeks or more, 2001 [Numbers in thousands] Characteristic Total families Below poverty level Rate1 Total primary families .................................................... .........................................................................................

NOTE : Data relate to primary families with at least one member in the labor force for 27 weeks or more 16 Monthly Labor Review November/December 2003 had higher poverty rates than families without children. The difference was greatest among families maintained by women. Among these families, 21.3 percent of those with children were poor in 2001, compared with 5.2 percent of those without children. Working wives are less likely than working husbands to be poor, primarily because working wives are more likely to be in families with a second earner, usually a husband. In 2001, 1.7 percent of married women who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more were in poverty, compared with 3.1 percent of married men. In comparison, 17 percent of women who maintained families and who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more were in poverty, as shown below: Working poor rate Husbands ........................................ 3.1 Wives .............................................. 1.7 Maintaining families Women, no spouse present .......... 17.0 Men, no spouse present ............... 8.3 Unrelated individuals ...................... 8.1 Living alone ................................... 5.3 Living with others ........................ 11.4 Labor market problems Unrelated individuals. Of the 29.4 million unrelated individuals who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more in 2001, 8.1 percent lived below the poverty level. This was up from 7.6 percent in 2000. The living situations of unrelated individuals are characterized in one of two ways: some live by themselves, while others share housing with unrelated persons. Unrelated indiTable 5. viduals with low incomes often live with others in order to share expenses and pool resources. But, because poverty status for unrelated individuals is determined by their personal income and not by their household income, the poverty measure for these unrelated individuals living with nonrelatives may overstate their actual economic hardship. Conversely, many of those who live alone do so because they have sufficient incomes to support themselves. Persons living with unrelated individuals and who were labor force participants for more than 27 weeks in 2001 were more than twice as likely as those living alone to be poor (11.4 percent and 5.3 percent, respectively). The proportion living in poverty increased for both of these groups over the year. Teenagers who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more and were living on their own or with others not related to them were more vulnerable to being poor than other unrelated individuals. In 2001, 39.5 percent of such teenagers lived below the poverty level, up from 36.7 percent in 2000. People who usually work full time are far less likely to live in poverty than are others. Yet, there remains a sizable group of full-time workers who live below the poverty threshold. Among those who participated in the labor force for more than half of the year and who usually worked in full-time wage and salary jobs, 3.5 million (or 3.2 percent) were classified as working poor in 2001. This proportion was virtually unchanged from a year earlier, after trending downward from 1994 to 2000. (See table 5.)

Poverty rates of persons in the labor force for 27 weeks or more, 1987–2001 [percent] [percent] 7 7 6.5 6.5 6 6 5.5 5.5 5 5 4.5 4.5 4 1987 1989 1991 1993 There are three major labor market problems that can impede such workers’ ability to earn an income above the poverty threshold: Low earnings, periods of unemployment, and involuntary part-time employment.8 In 2001, about 83 percent of the working poor who usually worked full time experienced at least one of these major labor market problems. Low earnings continued to be the most common condition encountered, with 68.2 percent facing low earnings, either alone or in conjunction with other labor market problems. About 32.7 percent of the working poor experienced unemployment either alone or in conjunction with other problems. Only 5.3 percent experienced all three problems— low earnings, unemployment, and involuntary part-time employment. Some 593,000, or 17 percent, of the working poor did not experience any of the three primary labor market problems in 2001. Their classification as working poor may be explained by other factors, including short-term employment, some weeks of voluntary part-time work, or a family structure that increases the risk of poverty. 18 Monthly Labor Review November/December 2003 1995 1997 1999 2001 4 Trend In 2001, the working poor represented 4.9 percent of all persons who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more. This was an increase of 0.2 percentage point from the previous year. The rise in the percent of those classified as working poor in 2001 was the first year-to-year increase since 1992-93 and reflected the 2001 recession. Poverty rates of persons who were in the labor force for 27 weeks or more hovered between 5.3 percent and 5.5 percent from 1987 to 1990, and rose from 5.7 and 6.7 percent between 1991 and 1997. From 1998 to 2001, the rates were relatively lower, ranging from 4.7 percent to 5.4 percent. (See chart 1.) IN SUMMARY, about 6.8 million workers in 3.7 million families lived below the poverty level in 2001. The number and the proportion of those classified as working poor increased over the year for the first time since 1992–93. Still, the proportion in the labor force remains well below the series high in 1993. Working youth in general and minority teens in particular continue to experience high incidence of poverty. The likelihood of being among the working poor is also higher among families maintained by women (no spouse present), the least edu- cated, and those employed as farm workers and in service occupations. □ Notes 1 More detailed information on the working poor in 2001 was discussed in Bureau of Labor Statistics Report 968, June 2003. This article summarizes the findings of that report. 2 Poverty in the United States: 2001, Current Population Reports, Series P60–219, (U.S. Bureau of the Census, September 2002), p.1. 3 In 1989, BLS researchers Philip Rones and Bruce Klein developed BLS measure of the working poor by linking individuals’ labor market efforts to the poverty status of their families. Rones and Klein defined the “working poor” as persons who devoted more than half of the year to working or looking for work and who lived in families with incomes below the official poverty level. 4 A family is defined as a group of two or more persons residing together who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption. Persons in related subfamilies—married couples or parent-child groups sharing the living quarters of another family member—are included as members of that family and are not distinct family units. The count of families used in this report does not include unrelated subfamilies, such as lodgers, guests, or resident employees living in a household but not related to the householder (the person in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented). Families are classified either as married-couple families or as those maintained by men or women without spouses present. Family status is determined at the time of the March interview, and thus may be different from that of the previous year. 5 Poverty statistics presented in this report are based on definitions developed by the Social Security Administration in 1964 and revised by Federal interagency committees in 1969 and 1981. These definitions originally were based on the Department of Agriculture’s Economy Food Plan and reflected the different consumption requirements of families, based on factors such as family size and the number of children less than 18 years of age. The actual poverty thresholds vary in accordance with the makeup of the family. In 2001, the average pov- erty threshold for a family of four was $18,104; for a family of nine or more persons, the threshold was $36,286; and for an unrelated individual aged 65 or older, it was $8,494. Poverty thresholds are updated each year to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). The thresholds do not vary geographically. 6 The primary source of data in this report is the 2002 Annual Social and Economic Supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS is a monthly survey of 60,000 households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics to collect demographic, social, and economic information about persons 16 years of age and older. 7 Occupation refers to the occupation in which a person worked the most weeks during the calendar year. 8 The low earnings level, as first developed in 1987, represented the average of the real value of the minimum wage between 1967 and 1987 for a 40-hour workweek. The base year of 1967 was chosen because that was the first year in which minimum-wage legislation covered essentially the same broad group of workers who currently are covered. The low earnings level has subsequently been adjusted each year using the CPI-U, so that the measure maintains the same real value that it held in 1987. In 2001, the low earnings threshold was $260.66 per week. For a more complete definition, see Bruce W. Klein and Philip L. Rones, “A profile of the working poor,” Monthly Labor Review, October 1989, pp. 3–13. Involuntary part-time workers are persons who, in at least 1 week of the year, worked fewer than 35 hours because of slack work or business conditions, or because they could not find full-time work. The number of weeks of involuntary part-time work is accumulated over the year. Unemployed persons are those who looked for work while not employed or those who were on layoff from a job and expecting recall. The number of weeks unemployed is accumulated over the entire year. Monthly Labor Review November/December 2003 19 Regional Trends Regional Trends Multiple jobholding in States, 2002 James Campbell In 2002, multiple jobholding rates were lower than a year earlier in 31 States, higher in 13 States and the District of James Campbell is an economist in the Division of Local Area Unemployment Statistics, Bureau of Labor Statistics. E-mail: Campbell.Jim@bls.gov Columbia, and unchanged in 6 States. The continued downward movement in the majority of States reflected the 0.1percentage point decrease in the national multiple jobholding rate to 5.3 percent. The largest over-the-year decreases were recorded in Hawaii (–1.6 percentage points), Idaho (–1.1 points), and Rhode Island (–1.0 point). Twelve additional States had declines of at least 0.5 point. Maryland and Vermont reported the largest increases in multiple jobholding rates (+1.1 percentage points each), while six other States had over- the-year increases of at least one-half point. The U.S. multiple jobholding rate has edged downward every year since its recent peak of 6.2 percent in 1996. Over that 6-year span, 46 States and the District of Columbia experienced decreases in multiple jobholding. The largest drops in multiple jobholding rates over this time span were registered in Missouri (–3.1 percentage points), Idaho (– 2.6 points), Alabama, Massachusetts, and Wisconsin (–2.3 points each), and Oregon (–2.0 points).

Again in 2002, State multiple jobholding rates varied considerably around the national average, with northern States generally recording higher rates. Overall, 30 States had higher rates than the Nation as a whole, 18 States and the District of Columbia had lower rates, and 2 States matched the U.S. rate. All seven States in the West North Central division continued to register multiple jobholding rates above that of the Nation, with Nebraska and North Dakota recording the highest rates (10.3 and 9.2 percent, respectively). The northernmost States in the Mountain, New England, and Pacific divisions also had relatively high rates. The high multiple jobholding rates generally coincided with above-average incidence of both part-time employment and agricultural employment, particularly in the Plains States. In contrast, six of the eight States composing the southern border of the United States had multiple jobholding rates below the U.S. figure. Twelve of the 16 States in the South region and the District of Columbia reported rates below the national figure. The lowest rates were recorded in five States in the South—Louisiana (3.7 percent), Alabama and Georgia (3.8 percent each), and Florida and West Virginia (3.9 percent each). Four additional States (only one of which was in the South) had rates of 4.5 percent or lower. □ Multiple jobholding rates by State, 2002 annual averages (U.S rate = 5.3 percent) Mountain West North Central New England East North Central Middle Atlantic Pacific South Atlantic West South Central MJH_01 East South Central SOURCE: Current Population Survey.

In the notes that follow, the data in each group of tables are briefly described; key definitions are given; notes on the data are set forth; and sources of additional information are cited. General notes The following notes apply to several tables in this section: Seasonal adjustment. Certain monthly and quarterly data are adjusted to eliminate the effect on the data of such factors as climatic conditions, industry production schedules, opening and closing of schools, holiday buying periods, and vacation practices, which might prevent short-term evaluation of the statistical series. Tables containing data that have been adjusted are identified as “seasonally adjusted.” (All other data are not seasonally adjusted.) Seasonal effects are estimated on the basis of current and past experiences. When new seasonal factors are computed each year, revisions may affect seasonally adjusted data for several preceding years. Seasonally adjusted data appear in tables 1–14, 16–17, 43, and 47. Seasonally adjusted labor force data in tables 1 and 4–9 were revised in the March 2003 issue of the Review. Seasonally adjusted establishment survey data shown in tables 1, 12–14 and 16–17 were revised in the July 2003Review. A brief explanation of the seasonal adjustment methodology appears in “Notes on the data.” Revisions in the productivity data in table 49 are usually introduced in the September issue. Seasonally adjusted indexes and percent changes from month-to-month and quarter-to-quarter are published for numerous Consumer and Producer Price Index series. However, seasonally adjusted indexes are not published for the U.S. average All-Items CPI. Only seasonally adjusted percent changes are available for this series. Adjustments for price changes. Some data—such as the “real” earnings shown in table 14—are adjusted to eliminate the effect of changes in price. These adjustments are made by dividing current-dollar values by the Consumer Price Index or the appropriate component of the index, then multiplying by 100. For example, given a current hourly wage rate of $3 and a current price 26 Monthly Labor Review index number of 150, where 1982 = 100, the hourly rate expressed in 1982 dollars is $2 ($3/150 x 100 = $2). The $2 (or any other resulting values) are described as “real,” “constant,” or “1982” dollars. Sources of information Data that supplement the tables in this section are published by the Bureau in a variety of sources. Definitions of each series and notes on the data are contained in later sections of these Notes describing each set of data. For detailed descriptions of each data series, see BLS Handbook of Methods, Bulletin 2490. Users also may wish to consult Major Programs of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Report 919. News releases provide the latest statistical information published by the Bureau; the major recurring releases are published according to the schedule appearing on the back cover of this issue. More information about labor force, employment, and unemployment data and the household and establishment surveys underlying the data are available in the Bureau’s monthly publication, Employment and Earnings. Historical unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data from the household survey are available on the Internet: http://www.bls.gov/cps/ Historically comparable unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data from the establishment survey also are available on the Internet: http://www.bls.gov/ces/ Additional information on labor force data for areas below the national level are provided in the BLS annual report, Geographic Profile of Employment and Unemployment. For a comprehensive discussion of the Employment Cost Index, see Employment Cost Indexes and Levels, 1975–95, BLS Bulletin 2466. The most recent data from the Employee Benefits Survey appear in the following Bureau of Labor Statistics bulletins: Employee Benefits in Medium and Large Firms; Employee Benefits in Small Private Establishments; and Employee Benefits in State and Local Governments. More detailed data on consumer and producer prices are published in the monthly periodicals, The CPI Detailed Report and Producer Price Indexes. For an overview of the 1998 revision of the CPI , see the December 1996 issue of the Monthly Labor Review. Additional data on international prices appear in monthly news releases. Listings of industries for which productivity indexes are available may be found on the Internet: http://www.bls.gov/lpc/ For additional information on interna- November 2003 tional comparisons data, see International Comparisons of Unemployment, BLS Bulletin 1979. Detailed data on the occupational injury and illness series are published in Occupational Injuries and Illnesses in the United States, by Industry, a BLS annual bulletin. Finally, the Monthly Labor Review carries analytical articles on annual and longer term developments in labor force, employment, and unemployment; employee compensation and collective bargaining; prices; productivity; international comparisons; and injury and illness data. Symbols n.e.c. = not elsewhere classified. n.e.s. = not elsewhere specified. p = preliminary. To increase the timeliness of some series, preliminary figures are issued based on representative but incomplete returns. r = revised. Generally, this revision reflects the availability of later data, but also may reflect other adjustments. Comparative Indicators (Tables 1–3) Comparative indicators tables provide an overview and comparison of major BLS statistical series. Consequently, although many of the included series are available monthly, all measures in these comparative tables are presented quarterly and annually. Labor market indicators include employment measures from two major surveys and information on rates of change in compensation provided by the Employment Cost Index (ECI) program. The labor force participation rate, the employment-population ratio, and unemployment rates for major demographic groups based on the Current Population (“household”) Survey are presented, while measures of employment and average weekly hours by major industry sector are given using nonfarm payroll data. The Employment Cost Index (compensation), by major sector and by bargaining status, is chosen from a variety of BLS compensation and wage measures because it provides a comprehensive measure of employer costs for hiring labor, not just outlays for wages, and it is not affected by employment shifts among occupations and industries. Data on changes in compensation, prices, and productivity are presented in table 2. Measures of rates of change of compensation and wages from the Employment Cost Index program are provided for all civilian nonfarm workers (excluding Federal and household workers) and for all private nonfarm workers. Measures of changes in consumer prices for all urban consumers; producer prices by stage of processing; overall prices by stage of processing; and overall export and import price indexes are given. Measures of productivity (output per hour of all persons) are provided for major sectors. Alternative measures of wage and compensation rates of change, which reflect the overall trend in labor costs, are summarized in table 3. Differences in concepts and scope, related to the specific purposes of the series, contribute to the variation in changes among the individual measures. Notes on the data Definitions of each series and notes on the data are contained in later sections of these notes describing each set of data. Employment and Unemployment Data (Tables 1; 4–24) Household survey data Description of the series EMPLOYMENT DATA in this section are obtained from the Current Population Survey, a program of personal interviews conducted monthly by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The sample consists of about 60,000 households selected to represent the U.S. population 16 years of age and older. Households are interviewed on a rotating basis, so that three-fourths of the sample is the same for any 2 consecutive months. Definitions Employed persons include (1) all those who worked for pay any time during the week which includes the 12th day of the month or who worked unpaid for 15 hours or more in a family-operated enterprise and (2) those who were temporarily absent from their regular jobs because of illness, vacation, industrial dispute, or similar reasons. A person working at more than one job is counted only in the job at which he or she worked the greatest number of hours. Unemployed persons are those who did not work during the survey week, but were available for work except for temporary illness and had looked for jobs within the preceding 4 weeks. Persons who did not look for work because they were on layoff are also counted among the unemployed. The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the civilian labor force. The civilian labor force consists of all employed or unemployed persons in the civilian noninstitutional population. Persons not in the labor force are those not classified as employed or unemployed. This group includes discouraged workers, defined as persons who want and are available for a job and who have looked for work sometime in the past 12 months (or since the end of their last job if they held one within the past 12 months), but are not currently looking, because they believe there are no jobs available or there are none for which they would qualify. The civilian noninstitutional population comprises all persons 16 years of age and older who are not inmates of penal or mental institutions, sanitariums, or homes for the aged, infirm, or needy. The civilian labor force participation rate is the proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population that is in the labor force. The employment-population ratio is employment as a percent of the civilian noninstitutional population. Notes on the data From time to time, and especially after a decennial census, adjustments are made in the Current Population Survey figures to correct for estimating errors during the intercensal years. These adjustments affect the comparability of historical data. A description of these adjustments and their effect on the various data series appears in the Explanatory Notes of Employment and Earnings. For a discussion of changes introduced in January 2003, see “Revisions to the Current Population Survey Effective in January 2003” in the February 2003 issue of Employment and Earnings (available on the BLS Web site at: http:// www.bls.gov/cps/rvcps03.pdf). Effective in January 2003, BLS began using the X-12 ARIMA seasonal adjustment program to seasonally adjust national labor force data. This program replaced the X-11 ARIMA program which had been used since January 1980. See “Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Labor Force Series in 2003,” in the February 2003 issue of Employment and Earnings (available on the BLS Web site at http:www.bls.gov/cps/cpsrs.pdf) for a discussion of the introduction of the use of X- 12 ARIMA for seasonal adjustment of the labor force data and the effects that it had on the data. At the beginning of each calendar year, historical seasonally adjusted data usually are revised, and projected seasonal adjustment factors are calculated for use during the January–June period. The historical seasonally adjusted data usually are revised for only the most recent 5 years. In July, new seasonal adjustment factors, which incorporate the experience through June, are produced for the July–December period, but no revisions are made in the historical data.

Establishment survey data Description of the series EMPLOYMENT, HOURS, AND EARNINGS DATA in this section are compiled from payroll records reported monthly on a voluntary basis to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and its cooperating State agencies by about 160,000 businesses and government agencies, which represent approximately 400,000 individual worksites and represent all industries except agriculture. The active CES sample covers approximately one-third of all nonfarm payroll workers. Industries are classified in accordance with the 2002 North American Industry Classification System. In most industries, the sampling probabilities are based on the size of the establishment; most large establishments are therefore in the sample. (An establishment is not necessarily a firm; it may be a branch plant, for example, or warehouse.) Self-employed persons and others not on a regular civilian payroll are outside the scope of the survey because they are excluded from establishment records. This largely accounts for the difference in employment figures between the household and establishment surveys. Definitions An establishment is an economic unit which produces goods or services (such as a factory or store) at a single location and is engaged in one type of economic activity. Employed persons are all persons who received pay (including holiday and sick pay) for any part of the payroll period including the 12th day of the month. Persons holding more than one job (about 5 percent of all persons in the labor force) are counted in each establishment which reports them. Monthly Labor Review November 2003 27 Current Labor Statistics Production workers in the goods-producing industries cover employees, up through the level of working supervisors, who engage directly in the manufacture or construction of the establishment’s product. In private service-providing industries, data are collected for nonsupervisory workers, which include most employees except those in executive, managerial, and supervisory positions. Those workers mentioned in tables 11–16 include production workers in manufacturing and natural resources and mining; construction workers in construction; and nonsupervisory workers in all private service-providing industries. Production and nonsupervisory workers account for about four-fifths of the total employment on private nonagricultural payrolls. Earnings are the payments production or nonsupervisory workers receive during the survey period, including premium pay for overtime or late-shift work but excluding irregular bonuses and other special payments. Real earnings are earnings adjusted to reflect the effects of changes in consumer prices. The deflator for this series is derived from the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). Hours represent the average weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory workers for which pay was received, and are different from standard or scheduled hours. Overtime hours represent the portion of average weekly hours which was in excess of regular hours and for which overtime premiums were paid. The Diffusion Index represents the percent of industries in which employment was rising over the indicated period, plus one-half of the industries with unchanged employment; 50 percent indicates an equal balance between industries with increasing and decreasing employment. In line with Bureau practice, data for the 1-, 3-, and 6-month spans are seasonally adjusted, while those for the 12-month span are unadjusted. Table 17 provides an index on private nonfarm employment based on 278 industries, and a manufacturing index based on 84 industries. These indexes are useful for measuring the dispersion of economic gains or losses and are also economic indicators. Notes on the data Establishment survey data are annually adjusted to comprehensive counts of employment (called “benchmarks”). The March 2002 benchmark was introduced in June 2003 with the release of data for May 2003, published in the July 2003 issue of the Review. With the release in June, CES completed a conversion from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and completed the transition from its original quota sample de- 28 Monthly Labor Review sign to a probability-based sample design. The industry-coding update included reconstruction of historical estimates in order to preserve time series for data users. Normally 5 years of seasonally adjusted data are revised with each benchmark revision. However, with this release, the entire new time series history for all CES data series were re-seasonally adjusted due to the NAICS conversion, which resulted in the revision of all CES time series. Also in June 2003, the CES program introduced concurrent seasonal adjustment for the national establishment data. Under this methodology, the first preliminary estimates for the current reference month and the revised estimates for the 2 prior months will be updated with concurrent factors with each new release of data. Concurrent seasonal adjustment incorporates all available data, including first preliminary estimates for the most current month, in the adjustment process. For additional information on all of the changes introduced in June 2003, see the the June 2003 issue of Employment and Earnings and “Recent changes in the national Current Employment Statistics survey,” Monthly Labor Review, June 2003, pp. 3–13. Revisions in State data (table 11) occurred with the publication of January 2003 data. For information on the revisions for the State data, see the March and May 2003 issues of Employment and Earnings, and “Recent changes in the State and Metropolitan Area CES survey,” Monthly Labor Review, June 2003, pp. 14–19. Beginning in June 1996, the BLS uses the X-12-ARIMA methodology to seasonally adjust establishment survey data. This procedure, developed by the Bureau of the Census, controls for the effect of varying survey intervals (also known as the 4- versus 5-week effect), thereby providing improved measurement of over-the-month changes and underlying economic trends. Revisions of data, usually for the most recent 5-year period, are made once a year coincident with the benchmark revisions. In the establishment survey, estimates for the most recent 2 months are based on incomplete returns and are published as preliminary in the tables (12–17 in the Review). When all returns have been received, the estimates are revised and published as “final” (prior to any benchmark revisions) in the third month of their appearance. Thus, December data are published as preliminary in January and February and as final in March. For the same reasons, quarterly establishment data (table 1) are preliminary for the first 2 months of publication and final in the third month. Thus, fourthquarter data are published as preliminary in January and February and as final in March. F OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION on establishment survey data, contact the Division of November 2003 Current Employment Statistics: (202) 691–6555. Unemployment data by State Description of the series Data presented in this section are obtained from the Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) program, which is conducted in cooperation with State employment security agencies. Monthly estimates of the labor force, employment, and unemployment for States and sub-State areas are a key indicator of local economic conditions, and form the basis for determining the eligibility of an area for benefits under Federal economic assistance programs such as the Job Training Partnership Act. Seasonally adjusted unemployment rates are presented in table 10. Insofar as possible, the concepts and definitions underlying these data are those used in the national estimates obtained from the CPS. Notes on the data Data refer to State of residence. Monthly data for all States and the District of Columbia are derived using standardized procedures established by BLS. Once a year, estimates are revised to new population controls, usually with publication of January estimates, and benchmarked to annual average CPS levels. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION on data in this series, call (202) 691–6392 (table 10) or (202) 691–6559 (table 11). Covered employment and wage data (ES–202) Description of the series E MPLOYMENT , WAGE , AND ESTABLISHMENT in this section are derived from the quarterly tax reports submitted to State employment security agencies by private and State and local government employers subject to State unemployment insurance ( UI ) laws and from Federal, agencies subject to the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees ( UCFE ) program. Each quarter, State agencies edit and process the data and send the information to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Covered Employment and Wages data, also referred as ES-202 data, are the most complete enumeration of employment and wage information by industry at the national, State, metropolitan area, and county levels. They have broad economic significance in evaluating labor market trends and major industry developments. DATA Definitions In general, ES-202 monthly employment data represent the number of covered workers who worked during, or received pay for, the pay period that included the 12th day of the month. Covered private industry employment includes most corporate officials, executives, supervisory personnel, professionals, clerical workers, wage earners, piece workers, and part-time workers. It excludes proprietors, the unincorporated self-employed, unpaid family members, and certain farm and domestic workers. Certain types of nonprofit employers, such as religious organizations, are given a choice of coverage or exclusion in a number of States. Workers in these organizations are, therefore, reported to a limited degree. Persons on paid sick leave, paid holiday, paid vacation, and the like, are included. Persons on the payroll of more than one firm during the period are counted by each UI-subject employer if they meet the employment definition noted earlier. The employment count excludes workers who earned no wages during the entire applicable pay period because of work stoppages, temporary layoffs, illness, or unpaid vacations. Federal employment data are based on reports of monthly employment and quarterly wages submitted each quarter to State agencies for all Federal installations with employees covered by the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program, except for certain national security agencies, which are omitted for security reasons. Employment for all Federal agencies for any given month is based on the number of persons who worked during or received pay for the pay period that included the 12th of the month. An establishment is an economic unit, such as a farm, mine, factory, or store, that produces goods or provides services. It is typically at a single physical location and engaged in one, or predominantly one, type of economic activity for which a single industrial classification may be applied. Occasionally, a single physical location encompasses two or more distinct and significant activities. Each activity should be reported as a separate establishment if separate records are kept and the various activities are classified under different fourdigit SIC codes. Most employers have only one establishment; thus, the establishment is the predominant reporting unit or statistical entity for reporting employment and wages data. Most employers, including State and local governments who operate more than one establish- ment in a State, file a Multiple Worksite Report each quarter, in addition to their quarterly UI report. The Multiple Worksite Report is used to collect separate employment and wage data for each of the employer’s establishments, which are not detailed on the UI report. Some very small multi-establishment employers do not file a Multiple Worksite Report. When the total employment in an employer’s secondary establishments (all establishments other than the largest) is 10 or fewer, the employer generally will file a consolidated report for all establishments. Also, some employers either cannot or will not report at the establishment level and thus aggregate establishments into one consolidated unit, or possibly several units, though not at the establishment level. For the Federal Government, the reporting unit is the installation: a single location at which a department, agency, or other government body has civilian employees. Federal agencies follow slightly different criteria than do private employers when breaking down their reports by installation. They are permitted to combine as a single statewide unit: 1) all installations with 10 or fewer workers, and 2) all installations that have a combined total in the State of fewer than 50 workers. Also, when there are fewer than 25 workers in all secondary installations in a State, the secondary installations may be combined and reported with the major installation. Last, if a Federal agency has fewer than five employees in a State, the agency headquarters office (regional office, district office) serving each State may consolidate the employment and wages data for that State with the data reported to the State in which the headquarters is located. As a result of these reporting rules, the number of reporting units is always larger than the number of employers (or government agencies) but smaller than the number of actual establishments (or installations). Data reported for the first quarter are tabulated into size categories ranging from worksites of very small size to those with 1,000 employees or more. The size category is determined by the establishment’s March employment level. It is important to note that each establishment of a multi-establishment firm is tabulated separately into the appropriate size category. The total employment level of the reporting multi-establishment firm is not used in the size tabulation. Covered employers in most States report total wages paid during the calendar quarter, regardless of when the services were performed. A few State laws, however, specify that wages be reported for, or based on the period during which services are performed rather than the period during which compensation is paid. Under most State laws or regulations, wages include bonuses, stock options, the cash value of meals and lodging, tips and other gratuities, and, in some States, employer contributions to certain deferred compensation plans such as 401(k) plans. Covered employer contributions for oldage, survivors, and disability insurance (OASDI), health insurance, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, and private pension and welfare funds are not reported as wages. Employee contributions for the same purposes, however, as well as money withheld for income taxes, union dues, and so forth, are reported even though they are deducted from the worker’s gross pay. Wages of covered Federal workers represent the gross amount of all payrolls for all pay periods ending within the quarter. This includes cash allowances, the cash equivalent of any type of remuneration, severance pay, withholding taxes, and retirement deductions. Federal employee remuneration generally covers the same types of services as for workers in private industry. Average annual wages per employee for any given industry are computed by dividing total annual wages by annual average employment. A further division by 52 yields average weekly wages per employee. Annual pay data only approximate annual earnings because an individual may not be employed by the same employer all year or may work for more than one employer at a time. Average weekly or annual pay is affected by the ratio of full-time to part-time workers as well as the number of individuals in highpaying and low-paying occupations. When average pay levels between States and industries are compared, these factors should be taken into consideration. For example, industries characterized by high proportions of parttime workers will show average wage levels appreciably less than the weekly pay levels of regular full-time employees in these industries. The opposite effect characterizes industries with low proportions of part-time workers, or industries that typically schedule heavy weekend and overtime work. Average wage data also may be influenced by work stoppages, labor turnover rates, retroactive payments, seasonal factors, bonus payments, and so on. Notes on the data Beginning with the release of data for 2001, publications presenting data from the Covered Employment and Wages (CEW) program have switched to the 2002 version of the North American Industry Classificatiion System (NAICS) as the basis for the assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry. NAICS is the product of a cooperative effort on the part of the statistical agencies of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Due to difference in NAICS and Stan- Monthly Labor Review November 2003 29 Current Labor Statistics dard Industrial Classification (SIC) structures, industry data for 2001 is not comparable to the SIC-based data for earlier years. Effective January 2001, the CEW program began assigning Indian Tribal Councils and related establishments to local government ownership. This BLS action was in response to a change in Federal law dealing with the way Indian Tribes are treated under the Federal Unemployment Tax Act. This law requires federally recognized Indian Tribes to be treated similarly to State and local governments. In the past the CEW program coded Indian Tribal Councils and related establishments in the private sector. As a result of the new law, CEW data reflects significant shifts in employment and wages between the private sector and local government from 2000 to 2001. Data also reflect industry changes. Those accounts previously assigned to civic and social organizations were assigned to tribal governments. There were no required industry changes for related establishments owned by these Tribal Councils. These tribal business establishments continued to be coded according to the economic activity of that entity. To insure the highest possible quality of data, State employment security agencies verify with employers and update, if necessary, the industry, location, and ownership classification of all establishments on a 3-year cycle. Changes in establishment classification codes resulting from the verification process are introduced with the data reported for the first quarter of the year. Changes resulting from improved employer reporting also are introduced in the first quarter. For these reasons, some data, especially at more detailed geographic levels, may not be strictly comparable with earlier years. The2000 county data used to calculate the 2000–2001 changes were adjusted for changes in industry and county classification to make them comparable to data for 2001. As a result, the adjusted 2000 data differ to some extent from the data available on the Internet at: http://www.bls.gov/cew/home.htm. County definitions are assigned according to Federal Information Processing Standards Publications as issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Areas shown as counties include those designated as independent cities in some jurisdictions and, in Alaska, those areas designated by the Census Bureau where counties have not been created. County data also are presented for the New England States for comparative purposes, even though townships are the more common designation used in New England 30 Monthly Labor Review (and New Jersey).

Compensation and Wage Data (Tables 1–3; 25–31) COMPENSATION AND WAGE DATA are gathered by the Bureau from business establishments, State and local governments, labor unions, collective bargaining agreements on file with the Bureau, and secondary sources. Employment Cost Index Description of the series The Employment Cost Index (ECI) is a quarterly measure of the rate of change in compensation per hour worked and includes wages, salaries, and employer costs of employee benefits. It uses a fixed market basket of labor—similar in concept to the Consumer Price Index’s fixed market basket of goods and services—to measure change over time in employer costs of employing labor. Statistical series on total compensation costs, on wages and salaries, and on benefit costs are available for private nonfarm workers excluding proprietors, the selfemployed, and household workers. The total compensation costs and wages and salaries series are also available for State and local government workers and for the civilian nonfarm economy, which consists of private industry and State and local government workers combined. Federal workers are excluded. The Employment Cost Index probability sample consists of about 4,400 private nonfarm establishments providing about 23,000 occupational observations and 1,000 State and local government establishments providing 6,000 occupational observations selected to represent total employment in each sector. On average, each reporting unit provides wage and compensation information on five wellspecified occupations. Data are collected each quarter for the pay period including the 12th day of March, June, September, and December. Beginning with June 1986 data, fixed November 2003 employment weights from the 1980 Census of Population are used each quarter to calculate the civilian and private indexes and the index for State and local governments. (Prior to June 1986, the employment weights are from the 1970 Census of Population.) These fixed weights, also used to derive all of the industry and occupation series indexes, ensure that changes in these indexes reflect only changes in compensation, not employment shifts among industries or occupations with different levels of wages and compensation. For the bargaining status, region, and metropolitan/nonmetropolitan area series, however, employment data by industry and occupation are not available from the census. Instead, the 1980 employment weights are reallocated within these series each quarter based on the current sample. Therefore, these indexes are not strictly comparable to those for the aggregate, industry, and occupation series. Definitions Total compensation costs include wages, salaries, and the employer’s costs for employee benefits. Wages and salaries consist of earnings before payroll deductions, including production bonuses, incentive earnings, commissions, and cost-of-living adjustments. Benefits include the cost to employers for paid leave, supplemental pay (including nonproduction bonuses), insurance, retirement and savings plans, and legally required benefits (such as Social Security, workers’ compensation, and unemployment insurance). Excluded from wages and salaries and employee benefits are such items as payment-in-kind, free room and board, and tips. Notes on the data The Employment Cost Index for changes in wages and salaries in the private nonfarm economy was published beginning in 1975. Changes in total compensation cost—wages and salaries and benefits combined—were published beginning in 1980. The series of changes in wages and salaries and for total compensation in the State and local government sector and in the civilian nonfarm economy (excluding Federal employees) were published be- ginning in 1981. Historical indexes (June 1981=100) are available on the Internet: http://www.bls.gov/ect/ F OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION on the Employment Cost Index, contact the Office of Compensation Levels and Trends: (202) 691–6199. Employee Benefits Survey Description of the series Employee benefits data are obtained from the Employee Benefits Survey, an annual survey of the incidence and provisions of selected benefits provided by employers. The survey collects data from a sample of approximately 9,000 private sector and State and local government establishments. The data are presented as a percentage of employees who participate in a certain benefit, or as an average benefit provision (for example, the average number of paid holidays provided to employees per year). Selected data from the survey are presented in table 25 for medium and large private establishments and in table 26 for small private establishments and State and local government. The survey covers paid leave benefits such as holidays and vacations, and personal, funeral, jury duty, military, family, and sick leave; short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance; medical, dental, and vision care plans; defined benefit and defined contribution plans; flexible benefits plans; reimbursement accounts; and unpaid family leave. Also, data are tabulated on the incidence of several other benefits, such as severance pay, child-care assistance, wellness programs, and employee assistance programs. Definitions Employer-provided benefits are benefits that are financed either wholly or partly by the employer. They may be sponsored by a union or other third party, as long as there is some employer financing. However, some benefits that are fully paid for by the employee also are included. For example, longterm care insurance and postretirement life insurance paid entirely by the employee are included because the guarantee of insurability and availability at group premium rates are considered a benefit. Participants are workers who are covered by a benefit, whether or not they use that benefit. If the benefit plan is financed wholly by employers and requires employees to complete a minimum length of service for eligibility, the workers are considered participants whether or not they have met the requirement. If workers are required to contribute towards the cost of a plan, they are considered participants only if they elect the plan and agree to make the required contributions. Defined benefit pension plans use predetermined formulas to calculate a retirement benefit (if any), and obligate the employer to provide those benefits. Benefits are generally based on salary, years of service, or both. Defined contribution plans generally specify the level of employer and employee contributions to a plan, but not the formula for determining eventual benefits. Instead, individual accounts are set up for participants, and benefits are based on amounts credited to these accounts. Tax-deferred savings plans are a type of defined contribution plan that allow participants to contribute a portion of their salary to an employer-sponsored plan and defer income taxes until withdrawal. Flexible benefit plans allow employees to choose among several benefits, such as life insurance, medical care, and vacation days, and among several levels of coverage within a given benefit. Notes on the data Surveys of employees in medium and large establishments conducted over the 1979–86 period included establishments that employed at least 50, 100, or 250 workers, depending on the industry (most service industries were excluded). The survey conducted in 1987 covered only State and local governments with 50 or more employees. The surveys conducted in 1988 and 1989 included medium and large establishments with 100 workers or more in private industries. All surveys conducted over the 1979–89 period excluded establishments in Alaska and Hawaii, as well as part-time employees. Beginning in 1990, surveys of State and local governments and small private establishments were conducted in evennumbered years, and surveys of medium and large establishments were conducted in oddnumbered years. The small establishment survey includes all private nonfarm establishments with fewer than 100 workers, while the State and local government survey includes all governments, regardless of the number of workers. All three surveys include full- and part-time workers, and workers in all 50 States and the District of Columbia. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION on the Employee Benefits Survey, contact the Office of Compensation Levels and Trends on the Internet: http://www.bls.gov/ebs/ Work stoppages Description of the series Data on work stoppages measure the number and duration of major strikes or lockouts (involving 1,000 workers or more) occurring during the month (or year), the number of workers involved, and the amount of work time lost because of stoppage. These data are presented in table 31. Data are largely from a variety of published sources and cover only establishments directly involved in a stoppage. They do not measure the indirect or secondary effect of stoppages on other establishments whose employees are idle owing to material shortages or lack of service. Definitions Number of stoppages: The number of strikes and lockouts involving 1,000 workers or more and lasting a full shift or longer. Workers involved: The number of workers directly involved in the stoppage. Number of days idle: The aggregate number of workdays lost by workers involved in the stoppages. Days of idleness as a percent of estimated working time: Aggregate workdays lost as a percent of the aggregate number of standard workdays in the period multiplied by total employment in the period. Notes on the data This series is not comparable with the one terminated in 1981 that covered strikes involving six workers or more.

Price in- Monthly Labor Review November 2003 31 Current Labor Statistics dexes are given in relation to a base period— 1982 = 100 for many Producer Price Indexes, 1982–84 = 100 for many Consumer Price Indexes (unless otherwise noted), and 1990 = 100 for International Price Indexes. Consumer Price Indexes Description of the series The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change in the prices paid by urban consumers for a fixed market basket of goods and services. The CPI is calculated monthly for two population groups, one consisting only of urban households whose primary source of income is derived from the employment of wage earners and clerical workers, and the other consisting of all urban households. The wage earner index (CPI-W) is a continuation of the historic index that was introduced well over a half-century ago for use in wage negotiations. As new uses were developed for the CPI in recent years, the need for a broader and more representative index became apparent. The all-urban consumer index (CPI-U), introduced in 1978, is representative of the 1993–95 buying habits of about 87 percent of the noninstitutional population of the United States at that time, compared with 32 percent represented in the CPI-W. In addition to wage earners and clerical workers, the CPIU covers professional, managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed, shortterm workers, the unemployed, retirees, and others not in the labor force. The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, fuel, drugs, transportation fares, doctors’ and dentists’ fees, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. The quantity and quality of these items are kept essentially unchanged between major revisions so that only price changes will be measured. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Data collected from more than 23,000 retail establishments and 5,800 housing units in 87 urban areas across the country are used to develop the “U.S. city average.” Separate estimates for 14 major urban centers are presented in table 33. The areas listed are as indicated in footnote 1 to the table. The area indexes measure only the average change in prices for each area since the base period, and do not indicate differences in the level of prices among cities. Notes on the data 32 Monthly Labor Review In January 1983, the Bureau changed the way in which homeownership costs are meaured for the CPI-U. A rental equivalence method replaced the asset-price approach to homeownership costs for that series. In January 1985, the same change was made in the CPI-W. The central purpose of the change was to separate shelter costs from the investment component of home-ownership so that the index would reflect only the cost of shelter services provided by owner-occupied homes. An updated CPI-U and CPI-W were introduced with release of the January 1987 and January 1998 data.

International Price Indexes Description of the series Producer Price Indexes Description of the series Producer Price Indexes (PPI) measure average changes in prices received by domestic producers of commodities in all stages of processing. The sample used for calculating these indexes currently contains about 3,200 commodities and about 80,000 quotations per month, selected to represent the movement of prices of all commodities produced in the manufacturing; agriculture, forestry, and fishing; mining; and gas and electricity and public utilities sectors. The stage-of-processing structure of PPI organizes products by class of buyer and degree of fabrication (that is, finished goods, intermediate goods, and crude materials). The traditional commodity structure of PPI organizes products by similarity of end use or material composition. The industry and product structure of PPI organizes data in accordance with the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) and the product code extension of the SIC developed by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. To the extent possible, prices used in calculating Producer Price 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. Most prices are obtained directly from producing companies on a voluntary and confidential basis. Prices generally are reported for the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th day of the month. Since January 1992, price changes for the various commodities have been averaged November 2003 The International Price Program produces monthly and quarterly export and import price indexes for nonmilitary goods and services traded between the United States and the rest of the world. The export price index provides a measure of price change for all products sold by U.S. residents to foreign buyers. (“Residents” is defined as in the national income accounts; it includes corporations, businesses, and individuals, but does not require the organizations to be U.S. owned nor the individuals to have U.S. citizenship.) The import price index provides a measure of price change for goods purchased from other countries by U.S. residents. The product universe for both the import and export indexes includes raw materials, agricultural products, semifinished manufactures, and finished manufactures, including both capital and consumer goods. Price data for these items are collected primarily by mail questionnaire. In nearly all cases, the data are collected directly from the exporter or importer, although in a few cases, prices are obtained from other sources. To the extent possible, the data gathered refer to prices at the U.S. border for exports and at either the foreign border or the U.S. border for imports. For nearly all products, the prices refer to transactions completed during the first week of the month. Survey respondents are asked to indicate all discounts, allowances, and rebates applicable to the reported prices, so that the price used in the calculation of the indexes is the actual price for which the product was bought or sold. In addition to general indexes of prices for U.S. exports and imports, indexes are also published for detailed product categories of exports and imports. These categories are defined according to the five-digit level of detail for the Bureau of Economic Analysis End-use Classification, the three-digit level for the Standard Industrial Classification (SITC), and the four-digit level of detail for the Harmonized System. Aggregate import indexes by country or region of origin are also available. BLS publishes indexes for selected categories of internationally traded services, calculated on an international basis and on a balance-of-payments basis. Notes on the data The export and import price indexes are weighted indexes of the Laspeyres type. The trade weights currently used to compute both indexes relate to 2000. Because a price index depends on the same items being priced from period to period, it is necessary to recognize when a product’s specifications or terms of transaction have been modified. For this reason, the Bureau’s questionnaire requests detailed descriptions of the physical and functional characteristics of the products being priced, as well as information on the number of units bought or sold, discounts, credit terms, packaging, class of buyer or seller, and so forth. When there are changes in either the specifications or terms of transaction of a product, the dollar value of each change is deleted from the total price change to obtain the “pure” change. Once this value is determined, a linking procedure is employed which allows for the continued repricing of the item.

Productivity Data (Tables 2; 43–46) Business and major sectors Description of the series The productivity measures relate real output to real input. As such, they encompass a family of measures which include single-factor input measures, such as output per hour, output per unit of labor input, or output per unit of capital input, as well as measures of multifactor productivity (output per unit of combined labor and capital inputs). The Bureau indexes show the change in output rela- tive to changes in the various inputs. The measures cover the business, nonfarm business, manufacturing, and nonfinancial corporate sectors. Corresponding indexes of hourly compensation, unit labor costs, unit nonlabor payments, and prices are also provided. Definitions Output per hour of all persons (labor productivity) is the quantity of goods and services produced per hour of labor input. Output per unit of capital services (capital productivity) is the quantity of goods and services produced per unit of capital services input. Multifactor productivity is the quantity of goods and services produced per combined inputs. For private business and private nonfarm business, inputs include labor and capital units. For manufacturing, inputs include labor, capital, energy, nonenergy materials, and purchased business services. Compensation per hour is total compensation divided by hours at work. Total compensation equals the wages and salaries of employees plus employers’ contributions for social insurance and private benefit plans, plus an estimate of these payments for the self-employed (except for nonfinancial corporations in which there are no self-employed). Real compensation per hour is compensation per hour deflated by the change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. Unit labor costs are the labor compensation costs expended in the production of a unit of output and are derived by dividing compensation by output. Unit nonlabor payments include profits, depreciation, interest, and indirect taxes per unit of output. They are computed by subtracting compensation of all persons from current-dollar value of output and dividing by output. Unit nonlabor costs contain all the components of unit nonlabor payments except unit profits. Unit profits include corporate profits with inventory valuation and capital consumption adjustments per unit of output. Hours of all persons are the total hours at work of payroll workers, selfemployed persons, and unpaid family workers. Labor inputs are hours of all persons adjusted for the effects of changes in the education and experience of the labor force. Capital services are the flow of services from the capital stock used in production. It is developed from measures of the net stock of physical assets—equipment, structures, land, and inventories— weighted by rental prices for each type of asset. Combined units of labor and capital inpu t s a r e d e r i v e d b y c o m b i n i n g changes in labor and capital input with weights which represent each c o m p o n e n t ’s s h a r e o f t o t a l c o s t . Combined units of labor, capital, energy, materials, and purchased business services are similarly derived by combining changes in each input with weights that represent each input’s share of total costs. The indexes for each input and for combined units are based on changing weights which are averages of the shares in the current and preceding year (the Tornquist indexnumber formula). Notes on the data Business sector output is an annuallyweighted index constructed by excluding from real gross domestic product (GDP) the following outputs: general government, nonprofit institutions, paid employees of private households, and the rental value of owner-occupied dwellings. Nonfarm business also excludes farming. Private business and private nonfarm business further exclude government enterprises. The measures are supplied by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis. Annual estimates of manufacturing sectoral output are produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Quarterly manufacturing output indexes from the Federal Reserve Board are adjusted to these annual output measures by the BLS. Compensation data are developed from data of the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hours data are developed from data of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The productivity and associated cost measures in tables 43–46 describe the relationship between output in real terms and the labor and capital inputs involved in its production. They show the changes from period to period in the amount of goods and services produced per unit of input. Although these measures relate output to hours and capital services, they do not measure the contributions of labor, capital, or any other specific factor of production. Rather, they reflect the joint effect of many influences, including changes in technology; shifts in the composition of Monthly Labor Review November 2003 33 Current Labor Statistics the labor force; capital investment; level of output; changes in the utilization of capacity, energy, material, and research and development; the organization of production; managerial skill; and characteristics and efforts of the work force.

Industry productivity measures Description of the series The BLS industry productivity indexes measure the relationship between output and inputs for selected industries and industry groups, and thus reflect trends in industry efficiency over time. Industry measures include labor productivity, multifactor productivity, compensation, and unit labor costs. The industry measures differ in methodology and data sources from the productivity measures for the major sectors because the industry measures are developed independently of the National Income and Product Accounts framework used for the major sector measures. chases. The measure of capital input used represents the flow of services from the capital stock used in production. It is developed from measures of the net stock of physical assets—equipment, structures, land, and inventories. The measure of intermediate purchases is a combination of purchased materials, services, fuels, and electricity. Notes on the data The industry measures are compiled from data produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of the Census,with additional data supplied by other government agencies, trade associations, and other sources. For most industries, the productivity indexes refer to the output per hour of all employees. For some trade and services industries, indexes of output per hour of all persons (including self-employed) are constructed. For some transportation industries, only indexes of output per employee are prepared. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION on this series, contact the Division of Industry Productivity Studies: (202) 691–5618. International Comparisons Definitions (Tables 47–49) Output per hour is derived by dividing an index of industry output by an index of labor input. For most industries, output indexes are derived from data on the value of industry output adjusted for price change. For the remaining industries, output indexes are derived from data on the physical quantity of production. The labor input series consist of the hours of all employees (production workers and nonproduction workers), the hours of all persons (paid employees, partners, proprietors, and unpaid family workers), or the number of employees, depending upon the industry. Unit labor costs represent the labor compensation costs per unit of output produced, and are derived by dividing an index of labor compensation by an index of output. Labor compensation includes payroll as well as supplemental payments, including both legally required expenditures and payments for voluntary programs. Multifactor productivity is derived by dividing an index of industry output by an index of the combined inputs consumed in producing that output. Combined inputs include capital, labor, and intermediate pur- Labor force and unemployment 34 Monthly Labor Review Description of the series Tables 47 and 48 present comparative measures of the labor force, employment, and unemployment—approximating U.S. concepts—for the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and several European countries. The unemployment statistics (and, to a lesser extent, employment statistics) published by other industrial countries are not, in most cases, comparable to U.S. unemployment statistics. Therefore, the Bureau adjusts the figures for selected countries, where necessary, for all known major definitional differences. Although precise comparability may not be achieved, these adjusted figures provide a better basis for international comparisons than the figures regularly published by each country. For further information on adjustments and comparability issues, see Constance Sorrentino, “International unemployment rates: how comparable are they?” Monthly November 2003 Labor Review, June 2000, pp. 3-20. Definitions For the principal U.S. definitions of the labor force, employment, and unemployment, see the Notes section on Employment and Unemployment Data: Household survey data. Notes on the data The adjusted statistics have been adapted to the age at which compulsory schooling ends in each country, rather than to the U.S. standard of 16 years of age and older. Therefore, the adjusted statistics relate to the population aged 16 and older in France, Sweden, and the United Kingdom; 15 and older in Australia, Japan, Germany, Italy from 1993 onward, and the Netherlands; and 14 and older in Italy prior to 1993. An exception to this rule is that the Canadian statistics for 1976 onward are adjusted to cover ages 16 and older, whereas the age at which compulsory schooling ends remains at 15. The institutional population is included in the denominator of the labor force participation rates and employment-population ratios for Japan and Germany; it is excluded for the United States and the other countries. In the U.S. labor force survey, persons on layoff who are awaiting recall to their jobs are classified as unemployed. European and Japanese layoff practices are quite different in nature from those in the United States; therefore, strict application of the U.S. definition has not been made on this point. For further information, see Monthly Labor Review, December 1981, pp. 8–11. The figures for one or more recent years for France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom are calculated using adjustment factors based on labor force surveys for earlier years and are considered preliminary. The recent-year measures for these countries, therefore, are subject to revision whenever data from more current labor force surveys become available. There are breaks in the data series for the United States (1990, 1994, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000), Canada (1976) France (1992), Germany (1991), Italy (1991, 1993), the Netherlands (1988), and Sweden (1987). For the United States, the break in series reflects a major redesign of the labor force survey questionnaire and collection methodology introduced in January 1994. Revised population estimates based on the 1990 census, adjusted for the estimated undercount, also were incorporated. In 1996, previously published data for the 1990–93 period were revised to reflect the 1990 census-based population controls, adjusted for the undercount. In 1997, revised population controls were introduced into the household survey. Therefore, the data are not strictly conparable with prior years. In 1998, new composite estimation procedures and minor revisions in population controls were introduced into the household survey. Therefore, the data are not strictly comparable with data for 1997 and earlier years. See the Notes section on Employment and Unemployment Data of this Review. BLS recently introduced a new adjusted series for Canada. Beginning with the data for 1976, Canadian data are adjusted to more closely approximate U.S. concepts. Adjustments are made to the unemployed and labor force to exclude: (1) 15-year-olds; (2) passive jobseekers (persons only reading newspaper ads as their method of job search); (3) persons waiting to start a new job who did not seek work in the past 4 weeks; and (4) persons unavailable for work due to personal or family responsibilities. An adjustment is made to include full-tine students looking for full-time work. The impact of the adjustments was to lower the annual average unemployment rate by 0.1–0.4 percentage point in the 1980s and 0.4–1.0 percentage point in the 1990s. For France, the 1992 break reflects the substitution of standardized European Union Statistical Office (EUROSTAT) unemployment statistics for the unemployment data estimated according to the International Labor Office (ILO) definition and published in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) annual yearbook and quarterly update. This change was made because the EUROSTAT data are more up-to-date than the OECD figures. Also, since 1992, the EUROSTAT definitions are closer to the U.S. definitions than they were in prior years. The impact of this revision was to lower the unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage point in 1992 and 1993, by 0.4 percentage point in 1994, and 0.5 percentage point in 1995. For Germany, the data for 1991 onward refer to unified Germany. Data prior to 1991 relate to the former West Germany. The impact of including the former East Germany was to increase the unemployment rate from 4.3 to 5.6 percent in 1991. For Italy, the 1991 break reflects a revision in the method of weighting sample data. The impact was to increase the unemployment rate by approximately 0.3 percentage point, from 6.6 to 6.9 percent in 1991. In October 1992, the survey methodology was revised and the definition of unemployment was changed to include only those who were actively looking for a job within the 30 days preceding the survey and who were available for work. In addition, the lower age limit for the labor force was raised from 14 to 15 years. (Prior to these changes, BLS adjusted Italy’s published unemployment rate downward by excluding from the unemployed those persons who had not actively sought work in the past 30 days.) The break in the series also reflects the incorporation of the 1991 population census results. The impact of these changes was to raise Italy’s adjusted unemployment rate by approximately 1.2 percentage points, from 8.3 to 9.5 percent in fourth-quarter 1992. These changes did not affect employment significantly, except in 1993. Estimates by the Italian Statistical Office indicate that employment declined by about 3 percent in 1993, rather than the nearly 4 percent indicated by the data shown in table 44. This difference is attributable mainly to the incorporation of the 1991 population benchmarks in the 1993 data. Data for earlier years have not been adjusted to incorporate the 1991 census results. For the Netherlands, a new survey questionnaire was introduced in 1992 that allowed for a closer application of ILO guidelines. EUROSTAT has revised the Dutch series back to 1988 based on the 1992 changes. The 1988 revised unemployment rate is 7.6 percent; the previous estimate for the same year was 9.3 percent. There have been two breaks in series in the Swedish labor force survey, in 1987 and 1993. Adjustments have been made for the 1993 break back to 1987. In 1987, a new questionnaire was introduced. Questions regarding current availability were added and the period of active workseeking was reduced from 60 days to 4 weeks. These changes lowered Sweden’s 1987 unemployment rate by 0.4 percentage point, from 2.3 to 1.9 percent. In 1993, the measurement period for the labor force survey was changed to represent all 52 weeks of the year rather than one week each month and a new adjustment for population totals was introduced. The impact was to raise the unemployment rate by approximately 0.5 percentage point, from 7.6 to 8.1 percent. Statistics Sweden revised its labor force survey data for 1987– 92 to take into account the break in 1993. The adjustment raised the Swedish unemployment rate by 0.2 percentage point in 1987 and gradually rose to 0.5 percentage point in 1992. Beginning with 1987, BLS has adjusted the Swedish data to classify students who also sought work as unemployed. The impact of this change was to increase the adjusted unemployment rate by 0.1 percentage point in 1987 and by 1.8 percentage points in 1994, when unemployment was higher. In 1998, the adjusted unemployment rate had risen from 6.5 to 8.4 percent due to the adjustment to include students. The net effect of the 1987 and 1993 changes and the BLS adjustment for students seeking work lowered Sweden’s 1987 unemployment rate from 2.3 to 2.2 percent.

Manufacturing productivity and labor costs Description of the series Table 49 presents comparative indexes of manufacturing labor productivity (output per hour), output, total hours, compensation per hour, and unit labor costs for the United States, Canada, Japan, and nine European countries. These measures are trend comparisons—that is, series that measure changes over time—rather than level comparisons. There are greater technical problems in comparing the levels of manufacturing output among countries. BLS constructs the comparative indexes from three basic aggregate measures—output, total labor hours, and total compensation. The hours and compensation measures refer to all employed persons (wage and salary earners plus self-employed persons and unpaid family workers) in the United States, Canada, Japan, France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden, and to all employees (wage and salary earners) in the other countries. Definitions Output, in general, refers to value added in manufacturing from the national accounts of each country. However, the output series for Japan prior to 1970 is an index of industrial production, and the national accounts measures for the United Kingdom are essentially identical to their indexes of industrial production. The 1977–97 output data for the United States are the gross product originating (value added) measures prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Comparable manufacturing output data currently are not available prior to 1977. Monthly Labor Review November 2003 35 Current Labor Statistics U.S. gross product originating is a chaintype annual-weighted series. (For more information on the U.S. measure, see Robert E. Yuskavage, “Improved Estimates of Gross Product by Industry, 1959–94,” Survey of Current Business, August 1996, pp. 133–55.) The Japanese value added series is based upon one set of fixed price weights for the years 1970 through 1997. Output series for the other foreign economies also employ fixed price weights, but the weights are updated periodically (for example, every 5 or 10 years). To preserve the comparability of the U.S. measures with those for other economies, BLS uses gross product originating in manufacturing for the United States for these comparative measures. The gross product originating series differs from the manufacturing output series that BLS publishes in its news releases on quarterly measures of U.S. productivity and costs (and that underlies the measures that appear in tables 43 and 45 in this section). The quarterly measures are on a “sectoral output” basis, rather than a value-added basis. Sectoral output is gross output less intrasector transactions. Total labor hours refers to hours worked in all countries. The measures are developed from statistics of manufacturing employment and average hours. The series used for France (from 1970 forward), Norway, and Sweden are official series published with the national accounts. Where official total hours series are not available, the measures are developed by BLS using employment figures published with the national accounts, or other comprehensive employment series, and estimates of annual hours worked. For Germany, BLS uses estimates of average hours worked developed by a research institute connected to the Ministry of Labor for use with the national accounts employment figures. For the other countries, BLS constructs its own estimates of average hours. Denmark has not published estimates of average hours for 1994–97; therefore, the BLS measure of labor input for Denmark ends in 1993. Total compensation (labor cost) includes all payments in cash or in-kind made directly to employees plus employer expenditures for legally required insurance programs and contractual and private benefit plans. The measures are from the national accounts of each country, except those for Belgium, which are developed by BLS using statistics on employment, average hours, and hourly compensation. For Canada, France, and Sweden, compensation is increased to account for other significant taxes on payroll or employment. For the United Kingdom, compensation is reduced between 1967 and 1991 to account for em- 36 Monthly Labor Review ployment-related subsidies. Self-employed workers are included in the all-employed-persons measures by assuming that their hourly compensation is equal to the average for wage and salary employees. Notes on the data In general, the measures relate to total manufacturing as defined by the International Standard Industrial Classification. However, the measures for France (for all years) and Italy (beginning 1970) refer to mining and manufacturing less energy-related products, and the measures for Denmark include mining and exclude manufacturing handicrafts from 1960 to 1966. The measures for recent years may be based on current indicators of manufacturing output (such as industrial production indexes), employment, average hours, and hourly compensation until national accounts and other statistics used for the long-term measures become available.

Occupational Injury and Illness Data (Tables 50–51) Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses Definitions Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, employers maintain records of nonfatal work-related injuries and illnesses that involve one or more of the following: loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, transfer to another job, or medical treatment other than first aid. Occupational injury is any injury such as a cut, fracture, sprain, or amputation that results from a work-related event or a single, instantaneous exposure in the work environment. Occupational illness is an abnormal condition or disorder, other than one resulting from an occupational injury, caused by exposure to factors associated with employment. It includes acute and chronic illnesses or disease which may be caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion, or direct contact. Lost workday injuries and illnesses are cases that involve days away from work, or days of restricted work activity, or both. Lost workdays include the number of workdays (consecutive or not) on which the employee was either away from work or at work in some restricted capacity, or both, because of an occupational injury or illness. BLS measures of the number and incidence rate of lost workdays were discontinued beginning with the 1993 survey. The number of days away from work or days of restricted work activity does not include the day of injury or onset of illness or any days on which the employee would not have worked, such as a Federal holiday, even though able to work. Incidence rates are computed as the number of injuries and/or illnesses or lost work days per 100 full-time workers. Description of the series The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses collects data from employers about their workers’ job-related nonfatal injuries and illnesses. The information that employers provide is based on records that they maintain under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. Self-employed individuals, farms with fewer than 11 employees, employers regulated by other Federal safety and health laws, and Federal, State, and local government agencies are excluded from the survey. The survey is a Federal-State cooperative program with an independent sample selected for each participating State. A stratified random sample with a Neyman allocation is selected to represent all private industries in the State. The survey is stratified by Standard Industrial Classification and size of employment. November 2003 Notes on the data The definitions of occupational injuries and illnesses are from Recordkeeping Guidelines for Occupational Injuries and Illnesses (U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 1986). Estimates are made for industries and employment size classes for total recordable cases, lost workday cases, days away from work cases, and nonfatal cases without lost workdays. These data also are shown separately for injuries. Illness data are available for seven categories: occupational skin diseases or disorders, dust diseases of the lungs, respiratory conditions due to toxic agents, poisoning (systemic effects of toxic agents), disorders due to physical agents (other than toxic materials), disorders associated with repeated trauma, and all other occupational illnesses. The survey continues to measure the num- ber of new work-related illness cases which are recognized, diagnosed, and reported during the year. Some conditions, for example, long-term latent illnesses caused by exposure to carcinogens, often are difficult to relate to the workplace and are not adequately recognized and reported. These long-term latent illnesses are believed to be understated in the survey’s illness measure. In contrast, the overwhelming majority of the reported new illnesses are those which are easier to directly relate to workplace activity (for example, contact dermatitis and carpal tunnel syndrome). Most of the estimates are in the form of incidence rates, defined as the number of injuries and illnesses per 100 equivalent full-time workers. For this purpose, 200,000 employee hours represent 100 employee years (2,000 hours per employee). Full detail on the available measures is presented in the annual bulletin, Occupational Injuries and Illnesses: Counts, Rates, and Characteristics. Comparable data for more than 40 States and territories are available from the BLS Office of Safety, Health and Working Conditions. Many of these States publish data on State and local government employees in addition to private industry data. Mining and railroad data are furnished to BLS by the Mine Safety and Health Administration and the Federal Railroad Administration. Data from these organizations are included in both the national and State data published annually. With the 1992 survey, BLS began publishing details on serious, nonfatal incidents resulting in days away from work. Included are some major characteristics of the injured and ill workers, such as occupation, age, gender, race, and length of service, as well as the circumstances of their injuries and illnesses (nature of the disabling condition, part of body affected, event and exposure, and the source directly producing the condition). In general, these data are available nationwide for detailed industries and for individual States at more aggregated industry levels. FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION on occupational injuries and illnesses, contact the Office of Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions at (202) 691–6180, or access the Internet at: http://www.bls.gov/iif/ Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries compiles a complete roster of fatal job-related injuries, including detailed data about the fatally injured workers and the fatal events. The program collects and cross checks fatality information from multiple sources, including death certificates, State and Federal workers’ compensation reports, Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Mine Safety and Health Administration records, medical examiner and autopsy reports, media accounts, State motor vehicle fatality records, and follow-up questionnaires to employers. In addition to private wage and salary workers, the self-employed, family members, and Federal, State, and local government workers are covered by the program. To be included in the fatality census, the decedent must have been employed (that is working for pay, compensation, or profit) at the time of the event, engaged in a legal work activity, or present at the site of the incident as a requirement of his or her job. Definition A fatal work injury is any intentional or unintentional wound or damage to the body resulting in death from acute exposure to energy, such as heat or electricity, or kinetic energy from a crash, or from the absence of such essentials as heat or oxygen caused by a specific event or incident or series of events within a single workday or shift. Fatalities that occur during a person’s commute to or from work are excluded from the census, as well as workrelated illnesses, which can be difficult to identify due to long latency periods. Notes on the data Twenty-eight data elements are collected, coded, and tabulated in the fatality program, including information about the fatally injured worker, the fatal incident, and the machinery or equipment involved. Summary worker demographic data and event characteristics are included in a national news release that is available about 8 months after the end of the reference year. The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries was initiated in 1992 as a joint Federal-State effort. Most States issue summary information at the time of the national news release.

NOTE: Local area CPI indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each loca index has a smaller sample size and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau o Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI fo use in their escalator clauses.

For this reason, they are not strictly comparable with data for the years 1985–88, which were based on the Standard Industrial Classification Manual , 1972 Edition, 1977 Supplement. 2 Beginning with the 1992 survey, the annual survey measures only nonfatal injuries and illnesses, while past surveys covered both fatal and nonfatal incidents. To better address fatalities, a basic element of workplace safety, BLS implemented the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries. 3 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: 90 Monthly Labor Review November 2003 - - N = number of injuries and illnesses or lost workdays; EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year; and 200,000 = base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year). 4 Beginning with the 1993 survey, lost workday estimates will not be generated. As of 1992, BLS began generating percent distributions and the median number of days away from work by industry and for groups of workers sustaining similar work disabilities. 5 Excludes farms with fewer than 11 employees since 1976.

Prior to 2003, persons who reported more than one race were included in the group they identified as the main race. NOTE: Estimates for the above race groups (white and black or African American) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. In addition, persons whose ethnicity is identified as Hispanic or Latino may be of any race and, therefore, are classified by ethnicity as well as by race.
