1963 Statistical Supplement
Part I

Preface
The fifth annual statistical supplement to the Monthly Labor Review will
appear in two parts. This first part contains data for 1963 from all major
Bureau of Labor Statistics programs, except employment, hours, earnings,
and labor turnover in nonagricultural establishments. Following their
revision to 1963 benchmarks early in 1965, these latter series will be published
in Part II.
Publications that describe the methods used in compiling the series are
listed in the bibliography. An appendix shows how to obtain current infor­
mation on BLS statistics.
This year, all tables, except where otherwise noted, cover the United
States including Alaska and Hawaii. Most of the figures have been rounded
and for this reason sums of individual items may not equal totals.

Beginning in April 1962, 1960 Census data were introduced into the estimation procedure for all data (tables
1-1 to 1-4). The change primarily affected the labor force and employment totals, which were reduced by about
200,000. The unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.

1 In computing the data used in the wage comparisons, aggregates for all
Industries combined and for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing separately
for each area were compiled by multiplying the average weekly salary for
each of 19 office jobs and the average straight-time hourly earnings for each of
8 skilled maintenance jobs and 2 unskilled plant jobs by the all-industry

employment in the job in all Standard Metropolitan Areas combined. For
purposes of this comparison, aggregates for each job and industry group are
expressed as percentages of like groups in the 212 metropolitan areas combined,
adjusted for differences in survey timing.

1 Union scales are the minimum wage scales (excluding holiday and vaca­
tion payments made directly to the worker each pay period) or maximum
schedule of hours agreed upon through collective bargaining between trade
unions and employers. Rates in excess of the negotiated minimum, which
may be paid for special qualifications or other reasons, are not included.
The data are based on reports from local union officials in cities of 100,000
or more.

1 Basic salary scales reflect only statutory changes in salaries.
Average salary rates show, in addition, the effect of merit or in-grade salary
increases.
Average salaries measure the effect not only of statutory changes in basic
pay scales and in-grade salary increases, but also the effect of changes in the
proportion of workers employed in the various pay grades.
2 Data for Classification Act and Crafts, Protective, and Custodial employ­
ees have been incorporated into the General Schedule indexes. Since July
1, 1955, the General Schedule has covered all Classification Act employees.
At that time, about one-third of the approximately 100,000 employees for­
merly covered by the Crafts, Protective, and Custodial schedule were

transferred to the General Schedule; the remaining two-thirds were trans­
ferred to wage-board classifications along with approximately 2,500 workers
formerly under the General Schedule. There were only minor differences
among the indexes in the years prior to 1955.
3 Estimated by assuming the same distribution of employees among grades
and steps within grades in 1945 as in 1939. Since there was little or no in­
crease in average rates because of in-grade increases during this period, it
was assumed that the change in basic salary scales was virtually the same as
in average salary rates.

1The Consumer Price Index measures the average change in prices of goods
and services purchased by urban wage-earner and clerical-worker families.
Data for 46 large, medium-size, and small cities are combined for the all-city
average.
a The relative importance of an item is its expenditure or value weight as a
percent of the total index. Data for previous years and discussions of uses
and limitations of the data have been published in earlier issues of the

2 Food indexes are computed monthly for 20 large cities. Indexes for
other major groups and for all items are computed monthly for 5 cities and
once every 3 months on a rotating cycle for 15 other cities.

i See footnote 1, table IV-1. Indexes measure time-to-time changes in
prices of goods and services purchased by urban wage-earner and clericalworker families.. They do not indicate whether it costs more to live in one
city than in another.

1 National and international unions were asked to report their average duespaying membership for 1962. 169 national and international unions reported
a total of 16,440,963 members and the Bureau estimated on the basis of other
information that membership of the 12 unions which did not report was
1,122,872. 65,819 members of federal labor unions and local industrial unions
directly affiliated with the AFL-CIO are not accounted for in these estimates.
Also excluded are members of unaffiliated unions not interstate in scope.
Membership figures for areas outside the United States were compiled

3 Since output data on which the manufacturing estimates are based, are
being revised substantially by the Department of Commerce, it is considered

lished when the Department of Commerce production data become available.

1 Includes data for Alaska and Hawaii.
2 Includes proprietors, self-employed, and unpaid family workers, as well
as employees, but excludes domestic service workers.
3 The total number of work injuries in agriculture is based on cross-section
surveys by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 1947 and 1948, with adjust­
ments for changes in employment. These are considered to be minimum
figures; injuries experienced in performing chores are excluded, and there are
some indications of underreporting.
►4 Based largely on data compiled by the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Depart­
ment of the Interior.

Work-injury rates, 1958 to 1961,1revised —Continued

F ootnotes and technical notes to table VII-2.
1See technical notes for definitions of terms and survey methods.
3 Revised injury data reflect both changes in industry definitions and re­
classification of individual reports on the basis of improved classification
information. A detailed explanation of the changes in industry definitions
is available upon request. Comparisons to the series prior to 1958 should
be made with caution.
3S t a n d a r d I n d u s t r i a l C l a s s i f i c a t i o n M a n u a l , 1 9 5 7 E d i t i o n . The letter “P”
in the code number indicates that the industry group is only a part of the
total industry as defined.
* Compiled by the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior.
«Industry classifications not strictly comparable to the S t a n d a r d I n d u s t r i a l

The s e v e r i t y r a t e is the average number of days of disability resulting from
disabling work injuries, for each million employee-hours worked.
The a v e r a g e d a y s o f d i s a b i l i t y includes standard time charges for deaths and
permanent impairments and the number of full calendar days during which
the injured persons were not able to work because of temporary-total dis­
abilities.
The severity rates and average days of disability were based on reports
which furnished details regarding nature of injury and days of disability.
W e i g h t i n g : Injury rates, with the exception of the Mining and Federal
Government groups, were computed by applying weights based on esti­
mated total employment in each industry.
C l a s s e s o f e m p l o y e e s : The experience of all classes of employees (production,
operating, and related workers; construction workers; sales, service, delivery,
technical, professional, office, administrative, clerical and all other personnel)
was included in the computation of these injury rates. Self-employed per­
sons, however, were not included. Rates designated as having been compiled
by the Bureau of Mines, U.S. Department of the Interior, include the ex­
perience of workers engaged in production, development, maintenance, and
repair work, and supervisory and technical personnel at the operations,
but exclude office personnel and employees in stores or affiliated operations
not directly connected with mining or refining operations. Working pro­
prietors were included. Mining data include Alaska as well as the other
States.
S u r v e y c o v e r a g e : The survey included reports as follows: Manufacturing1958, 50,692 establishments, approximately 9,510,000 workers, or about 57
percent of the total manufacturing employment—1959, 50,525 establishments,
approximately 9,770,000 workers, or about 59 percent of the universe—1960,
53,052 establishments, approximately 9,900,000 workers, or about 59 percent
of the total—1961, 52,378 establishments, approximately 9,560,000 workers,
or about 59 percent of the universe.
Selected nonmanufacturing (other than mining and Federal Govern­
ment)—1958, 33,449 establishments employing about 3,150,000 workers—1959,
43,173 establishments employing about 3,200,000 workers—1960; 52,080 estab­
lishments employing about 3,400,000 workers—1961, 64,348 establishments
employing about 3,400,000 workers.
Data for mining industries represent estimates based on over 88 percent
coverage of employment in the industries. Data for Federal Government
were based on injuries reported to the Bureau of Employees’ Compensation
and represent the experience of all Federal civilian employees.

Technical notes
These data were compiled according to the

A m e r ic a n S ta n d a r d M e th o d o f

R e c o r d i n g a n d M e a s u r i n g W o r k I n j u r y E x p e r i e n c e , approved by the American
Standards Association in 1954.
The injury rates shown in these tabulations include all classes of disabling
work injuries. A disabling work injury is any injury occurring in the course
of and arising out of employment, which results in death, permanent impair­
ment, or temporary-total disability.
. Injuries which require only first-aid or medical treatment are not included
m the computation of injury rates. Absence from work for a part of a day
for treatment is not considered “disabling.” To be counted as “disabling,”
an injury must have either caused some permanent impairment or made the
person unable to work at a regularly established job for at least one full day
after the day of injury. Cases are counted, however, even if the inability to
work existed only on a Saturday, Sunday, or some other nonwork day.
Industry group totals (2- and 3-digit code numbers) include data for indus­
tries not shown separately.
The i n j u r y - f r e q u e n c y r a t e is the average number of disabling work injuries
for each million employee-hours worked.

2 Revised injury data reflect both changes in industry definitions and reclassification of individual
reports on the basis of improved classification information. A detailed explanation of the changes
in industry definitions is available upon request. Comparisons to the series prior to 1963 should be
made with caution. See statement on USDL release No. 6231, dated June 12,1964.

Technical notes
These data were compiled according to the A m e r i c a n S t a n d a r d M e t h o d o f R e c o r d i n g a n d M e a s u r i n g
W o r k I n j u r y E x p e r i e n c e , approved by the American Standards Association in 1954.
The injury rates shown in these tabulations include all classes of disabling work injuries. A dis­
abling work injury is any injury occurring in the course of and arising out of employment, which
results in death, permanent impairment, or temporary-total disability.
Injuries which require only first-aid or medical treatment are not included in the computation of
injury rates. Absence from work for a part of a day for treatment is not considered “disabling.”
To be counted as “disabling,” an injury must have either caused some permanent impairment or
made the person unable to work at a regularly established job for at least one full day after the day
of injury. Cases are counted, however, even if the inability to work existed only on a Saturday,

Sunday, or some other nonwork day.
The i n j u r y - f r e q u e n c y r a t e is the average number of disabling work injuries for each million employeehours worked.
, ,
Coverage: The experience of all classes of employees—production and related workers, force-account
construction workers, sales, service, technical, professional, office, administrative, and all other per­
sonnel—is included in the computation of injury frequency rates. Self-employed persons, however,
are not included.
.
,
Data were obtained by mail questionnaires (form BLS-1417) sent to a representative list of employers
in manufacturing industries. Replies were received from about 13,000 reporting units, employing
approximately 5,000,000 workers or about 34 percent of all employees engaged in manufacturing. The
monthly and quarterly injury-frequency rates derived from these reports were adjusted to be com­
parable with final annual averages for 1960. These final annual averages were based upon a more
comprehensive survey, covering approximately 59 percent of all employees engaged in manufacturing.
Afi rates shown are preliminary and subject to revision when final 1963 annual averages become avail­
able. The annual rates are considered to be the best measure of the level of injury frequency; the
monthly rates are intended to show the month-to-month fluctuations and the current trend in injury
rates. Adjustments of the monthly and quarterly rates by the ratios between final annual rates
and the 12-months cumulative averages preserve the monthly fluctuations and at the same time
reflect the levels of the averages derived from the more comprehensive annual survey.
