1959 Statistical Supplement— Monthly Lahor Review https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR James P. Mitchell, S ecretary BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS Ewan Clague, C o m m issio n e r https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 1959 Statistical Supplement Preface This volume is the first annual statistical supplement to the Monthly Labor Re view. Most of the statistics presented here are more detailed than can be published regularly in the Current Labor Statistics section of the Review; other series have never been included in that section. The former, with the notable exception of employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover in nonagricultural establishments, are shown for the years 1958 and 1959, with monthly or quarterly data for the latest year. Since the national estimates for employment and related series are being re vised to the 1957 Standard Industrial Classification, only annual averages for 1958 and 1959 are presented. Revised figures are expected to be available by late spring of 1961 and should be included, together with comparable State and area data, in the annual supplement for that year. The series that do not appear regularly in the statistics section of the Review are shown, in most instances, for the period 1947-59. In the interest of simplicity, some of the standard footnote notations have been omitted. The source of all data presented herein is the Bureau of Labor Statistics unless otherwise indicated. National totals or averages exclude Alaska and Hawaii except where specific notation has been made to the contrary. And the sums of individual items in many of the tables do not equal totals because of rounding. A bibliography contains references to descriptions of methods used in the compila tion of the various series, as well as to current publications which present analyses of the data and more detailed information than is given in this volume. In addition, a brief appendix indicates how to obtain current information flowing from the major programs of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The editors of the Review will appreciate expressions of users’ opinions on how subsequent editions of the annual supplement might be made more useful.

Overtim e hours are those for which prem ium s were paid because th e hours were in excess of th e num ber of hours of either th e straight-tim e w orkday or workweek. W eekend and holiday hours are included only if prem ium wage rates were https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis M M paid. H ours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or other sim ilar types of prem ium s were paid are excluded. 8 D erived by assuming th a t overtim e hours are paid a t the ra te of tim e and one-half. 4 N ot available as average overtim e rates are significantly above tim e and one-half.
