This bulletin on the work experience of the popula­
tion is part of the Special Labor Force Reports series.
It discusses the extent and duration of joblessness dur­
ing 1982, its effect on family income, and the incidence
of poverty. The article was initially published in the
Monthly Labor Review, February 1984, and is reprinted
with additional tabular material and an explanatory note.
The data were compiled from supplementary ques­
tions to the March 1982 and 1983 Current Population
Survey (CPS) conducted and tabulated by the Bureau




of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Date
on work experience of the population during a given
year are collected in March of the following year. The
information obtained refers to the civilian work ©aperience of all persons 16 years and over in the civilian
noninstitutional population as of the March date.

Unemployment m 1982: the cost
to workers and their families
The March 1983 work experience survey
provides a close look at joblessness by
extent and duration and the effect on
family income and the incidence o f poverty
Paul O. Flaim
earnings of workers and the income of their families from
other sources. Because there are many persons who change
their labor force status during the course of a year, the
number with some employment or unemployment as esti
mated through the work experience survey is generally much
higher than the annual averages for employment and un­
employment based on data from the monthly surveys.
For 1982. the work experience survey shows that the
number of persons with a job for at least part of the year
was 116.3 million. This number was 17 percent higher than
the “ average” civilian employment level for the year. And
the number of persons with some unemployment, as mea
sured through the same retrospective survey, was 26.5 mi!
lion, about 2.5 times the “ average" number for the year.
Overall, 22.0 percent of all persons with any labor force
activity during 1982 (in terms of having either worked or
looked for work) were found to have experienced some
unemployment during the year. This percentage was more
than double the annual average employment rate for the
same year (9.7 percent).
In this article, we look at how the work experience num­
bers for 1982 changed vis-a-vis similar data for previous
years, particularly 1981. We then examine the earnings and
family income of the workers who encountered some job­
lessness. Finally, we look at workers who, because of un­
favorable economic conditions, had to work part time during
the year or who, because of their perception of the job
market, remained on the sidelines for at least part of the
year.

Joblessness reached a postwar high in 1982. On “ average.”
10.7 million persons were unemployed during the year. 9.7
percent of the labor force. By the end of the year, when the
economy finally ended its deep recessionary slide, unem­
ployment had risen even higher, with the number of jobless
persons (seasonally adjusted) reaching 11.9 million in De­
cember and with the rate of joblessness peaking at 10.7
percent.
What these numbers, based on data from the monthly
Current Population Survey (cps ) , 1 do not really tell us is
how many different persons among the entire population
encountered unemployment during the course of the year,
how long they were unemployed, how many weeks they
still managed to work, and how their earnings and family
income compared with those of workers who remained free
of unemployment. For this additional information on the
“ pervasiveness” of unemployment and for a glance at its
impact on the economic well-being of American workers,
we must turn to special data from the "work experience”
survey.
The work experience survey, conducted each March as
a special supplement to the cps , relates to the activities of
the entire civilian population over the previous calendar
year. It obtains a complete count of all the persons with
some employment or unemployment, as well as data on the

82 period with the much larger average gains posted during
the 1970 decade when, except for the 1973-75 period, the
economy was on a more steady upward path:

The recessionary impact on jobs
For most of 1982, the American economy was in the
throes of a deep recession which had begun the previous
year and which had brought about a substantial decline in
the demand for goods and some services. For example, real
G N P (the gross national product measured in constant dol­
lars) declined by 3.0 percent from the third quarter of 1981
to the fourth quarter of 1982. Although the recession is
considered to have bottomed as of November 1982,2 it was
not until the following January that any significant improve­
ment was noticed in the monthly statistics on employment
and unemployment. All of 1982 was thus a poor year in
terms of the demand for workers, and the work experience
data for the year are a reflection of this situation.
Of course, even 1980 and 1981, affected by a previous
recession, were not banner years in terms of employment
growth. This is clearly shown in the following tabulation,
which contrasts the rather meager jobs gain over the 1979-

Over the 1969-79 period, the year-to-year gains in the
number of persons with some employment averaged 2.3
million. Of this average annual gain, a little more than half,
or 1.2 million, was in year-round full-time jobs. In sharp
contrast, over the 1979-82 period, which was plagued by
two back-to-back recessions, the number of persons with

The number of blacks and Hispanics with jobs was not
significantly lower in 1982 than in 1981. However, the fact
that their employment level did not increase at all means
that there was a drop in their employment/population ratios
as their populations increased at a relatively rapid pace.

any type of job during the year posted an average annual
gain of only 0.4 million. And the proportion with yearround full-time jobs showed an actual decline for this period,
reflecting primarily the severity of the 1981-82 recession.
As indicated in greater detail in table 1, the number of
persons with some employment during the year was half a
million lower in 1982 than it had been in 1981. There was
an even bigger drop— of 1.3 million— in the number of
year-round full-time workers, that is, those working 35 or
more hours a week 50 to 52 weeks. The drop in their number
reflects the sharp cutbacks in the workweek as well as actual
layoffs of workers. The large increase— from 9.1 to 9.8
million— in the number of persons working mostly part time
the entire year was a further reflection of the cyclical cutback
in hours.
Table I also shows that it was men who accounted for
nearly all of the employment declines between 1981 and
1982, particularly among those with year-round, full-time
jobs. The number of women with some employment was
almost the same for 1982 as for 1981—about 52 million.
And there were actually more women with year-round full­
time employment in 1982 than a year earlier. The relative
stability in the employment of women reflects both their
growing attachment to the job market as well as the fact
that, in this as in other recessions, the sharpest rise in un­
employment occurred in goods-producing industries— such
as construction, autos, and steel— which are largely staffed
by men. Although women have been moving gradually even
into nontraditional fields, they are still concentrated in the
less cyclically sensitive service-producing industries. How­
ever, even these industries did not show much growth during
1982, and this caused at least a pause in the historical rise
in female employment.

TabS© 2.

The increase in joblessness
With employment showing a sizable decline for men and
a virtual stalemate for women, it is not surprising that there
was a sharp rise in 1982 in the number of persons with a
period of unemployment during the year. The total rose to
26.5 million from 23.4 million in 1981, with an increase
of 2.3 million among men and nearly 850,000 among women.
Taken as a proportion of the labor force, these numbers
represented 23.3 percent of all men and 20.4 percent of all
women with some job market activity in 1982. (See table
2.)
Not only were there more persons with some unemploy­
ment in 1982 than in 1981, they were also unemployed for
longer periods. As shown in table 2, of those with some
work during the year— and they were the great majority of
the unemployed— the proportion with relatively short un­
employment spells of 1 to 4 weeks shrank from 4.0 to 3.5
million. At the same time, the proportions unemployed 27
weeks or more (that is, in excess of 6 months) increased
from 3.6 to 5.0 million. Also of interest is the fact that the
number of persons with two or more spells of unemployment
during the year increased from 7.0 million to 7.6 million
during 1982. Taking into account all spells, the average
(median) duration of unemployment was 15.4 weeks in 1982
versus 13.3 weeks in 1981.
As a further reflection of the cyclical drop in the demand
for labor, there were nearly 4.0 million persons in 1982,

been sporadic jobseekers, more than half reported that they
had looked for work for 15 or more weeks.
The already high incidence of unemployment among blacks
and Hispanics rose even higher in 1982. Among blacks,
33.4 percent of all those with some labor force activity
reported some unemployment, up from 30.5 percent in 1981.
Among Hispanics, the proportion with some unemployment
was 27.1 percent, up from 23.7 percent in 1981. (See table
3.)
An even greater difference between unemployed blacks
and other jobless workers was the proportion who, although

T a b le 3.

seeking work, failed to obtain any employment during the
year. For white and Hispanic jobseekers, the proportions
who never held a job in 1982 were very close, 13 and 15
percent. Among blacks, the proportion of jobseekers who
apparently never found any work was much higher— 27
percent.

With unemployment generally longer in 1982 than in
1981, its effect on earnings and on family income became
obviously more burdensome. However, even in the unfa­
vorable labor market climate of 1982 there were many work­
ers for whom unemployment was a rather fleeting problem.

poverty thresholds. ' What is also interesting is the associ­
ation of the type of industry in which these jobless persons
had worked with their annual earnings, family income, and
the probability of falling into poverty. In general, the per­
sons whose principal jobs were in the various durable goods
manufacturing industries, in which average wages tend to
be much higher than in most other industries,4 had the lowest
probability of poverty. For example, of the workers who
lost jobs in the auto industry, only 3.5 percent wound up
with family income below the poverty line. In contrast,
about one-third of the jobless agricultural workers and onefifth of those who had been in the various service industries
had family income below the poverty line. Indeed, there
were some industries, notably agriculture, household ser­
vices, and personal services, in which the probability of
impoverishment was relatively high even for workers with
no unemployment whatsoever during the year. This is pri­
marily a reflection of the wide disparity in wages among
the various industries.
The number of wage earners in a family also affects the
likelihood of poverty among the unemployed. Altogether,
17.5 million families had one or more members out of work
in 1982. About 18 percent of such families reported total
income below the poverty line. (See table 5.) However, if
the family was headed by a married couple and had two
jobholders or more, the probability of poverty was only 6
percent. And about 10.5 million families, or well over half
of these with some unemployment, were working couples,

although of some economic consequence. For example, 1.2
million were year-round workers, meaning they were em­
ployed for at least 50 weeks and were without work no more
than a week or two. (See table 2.) An additional 3.5 million,
classified as part-year workers, were unemployed up to 4
weeks. Altogether, nearly 5 million persons, or almost onefifth of the unemployed in 1982, experienced relatively short
spells of joblessness. The effect of such spells on earnings
and total family income could not have been very large.
When spells of unemployment were much longer— and
it should be reemphasized that the overall median exceeded
15 weeks— the losses in earnings and family income were
obviously much larger. In such cases, the total income avail­
able for the year to the family of the affected worker de­
pended on three factors: (1) the type of job lost and its wage
level; (2) the amount of earnings that might accrue to the
family from the jobs of other members; and (3) the income
obtained from other sources, including unemployment in­
surance benefits and other transfer payments.
For workers with some unemployment in 1982, median
annual pay was not much over $5,000. Nevertheless, their
family income averaged nearly $20,000, reflecting the im­
portance of having more than one jobholder in the family—
which has become the rule rather than the exception— as
well as possible transfer payments.
Table 4 also shows that only 17 percent of the workers
with some unemployment in 1982 were in families whose
income for the year fell below the Federally designated

Percent with income below poverty

or if one spouse did not work, had a second earner in the
family, cushioning the effects of unemployment.
However, among the households maintained solely by a
woman, the incidence of poverty was very high when un­
employment struck. About 3.1 million such households ex­
perienced some unemployment, and 44 percent were in
poverty, largely because they seldom had more than one
earner. This highlights the financial vulnerability of families
with only one working member, particularly a woman. Be­
cause women who head their own families are even more
likely than women in general to be concentrated in relatively
low paying jobs,5 the incidence of poverty among the fam­
ilies which they head was comparatively high (17 percent)
even when these families escaped unemployment.
Workers living alone or with unrelated individuals also
faced a relatively high incidence of poverty when they be­
came unemployed. More than one-third reported annual in­
come for 1982 below the poverty line. Obviously, such
persons are also not likely to benefit from someone else's
earnings during periods of joblessness.
Race and ethnic origin makes a considerable difference
in terms of the incidence of unemployment-related poverty.
As indicated below, black and Hispanic families with un­
employment in 1982 were much more likely to be poor than
were comparable white families:

Not all of the differences in the rates of poverty among
these racial-ethnic groups can be ascribed to the degree of
severity of unemployment. The differences are also related
to wage levels, size of the family, and other factors, such
as the amount of transfer payments the families may have
drawn upon. It is important to note that, even when free of
unemployment, black and Hispanic families had much higher
rates of poverty than white families— 15 percent versus 5
percent.

periods during 1982. (See table 6.) About iwo-thirds cited
a reduction in their workweek due to "slack work or material
shortages” as the main cause. The other third attributed
their involuntary part-time work to the fact that they had
simply been unable to secure a full-time job in their initial
search and had reluctantly settled for part-time work. The
great majority of the workers who had suffered cutbacks in
their workweeks had been working either in construction or
durable goods manufacturing, and their problems were an
obvious consequence of the weak demand for housing and
other goods associated with the recession. Those who took
a part-time job involuntarily because they could not find
full-time work were employed for the most part in the var­
ious service-producing industries that were not hit so hard
by the recession.
About 7.4 million or nearly one-half of the persons with
involuntary part-time work had also suffered some unem­
ployment in 1982. Being beset with both of these labor
market problems, their earnings and family income were
obviously much lower than those of fully employed workers.
Almost one-fourth of them wound up with family income
below the poverty line.

Tabs©

As already noted, of the 116.3 million persons with some
employment in 1982, about 64 million worked all year in
full-time jobs. An additional 9.8 million also worked the
entire year but in jobs that were essentially of part-time
nature. Thus, the total employed the entire year was 73.8
million. This means that there were 42.5 million persons
with jobs for less than a full year or, more precisely, less
than 50 weeks. About three-fifths of these part-year workers
(25.6 million) had been in primarily full-time jobs, while
two-fifths (16.9 million) had been in jobs that were both of
a part-year or part-time nature.
Of the 42.5 million part-year workers, about two-fifths
had been constrained by unemployment from working all
year. The remainder cited a variety of reasons:

Discouraged part-year workers.

An important subgroup
of part-year workers was identified for the first time in the
March 1983 survey. They are those who reported that their
main reason for working only part of 1982 was that there
was “ no work available.” Of the nearly 5 million part-year
workers in the catchall “ other reasons” category, about 2.2
million, or almost half, were found to have worded their
answers in such a way as to indicate that the unavailability
of jobs was their main reason for working only part of the
year. While these persons were not actually reported as
having "looked for work” during the year— and thus were
not classified as unemployed— it would appear from their
answers that they would have preferred to work all year and

'Not available.
Note: Detail tor racial and Hispanic-origin groups will not sum to totals because data
tor the "other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the
white and black population groups.




Part-xear workers
(in thousands)

It should be noted that the number of persons citing unemployment as the main reason for working less than the
full year— 17.6 million-- i s considerably lower than the
number with both employment and unemployment— 22.5
million. There are two reasons for this. First, 1.2 million
of these persons managed to work at least 50 weeks and
were thus classified as employed the full year. Second, for
many of the part-year workers with some unemployment,
the principal reason for working less than the full year was
not necessarily the period of joblessness but the fact that
they left the labor force to go to school, to take care of their
families, or for other personal reasons. As shown, "school
attendance” and “ home responsibilities” figure very prom­
inently among the reasons for part-year work.

t a t they would have looked had it not been for their “ dis­
couragement” over job prospects.
Of course, discouragement has long been measured on a
current basis through a special set o f questions in the Current
Population Survey, with the data being published quarterly
and annually. During 1982, the numbes of “ discouraged
workers,” as measured monthly, averaged 1.6 million. The

March 1983 work experience survey was the first in which
an attempt was made to measure “ discouragement” ret­
roactively, at least for the part-year workers. These statis­
tics, although based on a different concept than those gathered
during the course of the year, add a new perspective to our
knowledge of the conditions of the labor market— and of
the perception of these conditions on the part of American
workers.

FOOTNOTES
'The Current Population Survey is a monthly household survey con­
ducted by the Bureau o f the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics for
the primary purpose o f determining the extent of employment and un­
employment among the American population. The sample of households
has been 60,000 in recent years.
2The National Bureau o f Economic Research designated the 1981-82
recession as starting in July 1981 and ending in November 1982.
’ The poverty thresholds, based primarily on a U.S. Department of Ag­
riculture study o f the consumption requirements of families by size, arc
updated each year to reflect changes in the Consumer Price Index. For
1982, the poverty threshold for a family of four was $9,862. It should be




noted, however, that in determining whether or not a family falls below
the poverty line, only cash income is taken into account. In-kind income,
while important to many families, is very difficult to measure and is not
yet included in the official measurements.
4The average (mean) weekly earnings for all production and nonsupervisory jobs in durable goods manufacturing was $356 in 1982. while the
mean for all private nonfarm production and nonsupervisory jobs was only
$267.
5 For 1982, the median usual weekly earnings for all women working
in full-time wage and salary jobs was $241: for men. the median was
$371. :

Appendix A. Explanatory Noli©

Extent o f employment represents the proportion o f the
population who worked and the total number o f weeks
worked during the preceding calendar year.
Full-time workers are those who worked 35 hours or
more per week in the majority o f the weeks worked
during the preceding calendar year. Part-time workers
are those who worked 1 to 34 hours per week in the
majority o f the weeks worked during the preceding
calendar year.
Year-roundfull-time workers are civilians who worked
primarily at full-time jobs for 50 or more weeks during
the preceding calendar year. Part-time workers are ci­
vilians who worked either full or part time for 1 to 49
weeks. These workers are further classified on the basis
o f their major activity during most o f the weeks in
which they did not work. These activities include un­
employment or layoff, illness or disability (excluding
paid sick leave), taking care o f home, going to school,
retirement, military service, etc.
Occupation, industry, and class o f worker apply to the
job held during the calendar year. Persons with two or
more jobs are classified in the job at which they worked
the greatest number o f weeks. The classifications o f oc­
cupations and industries used in work experience data
through 1981 are defined as in the 1970 census. Begin­
ning with 1982 data, they are defined as in the 1980
census. Information on the detailed categories included
in these groups is available upon request.
Longest job refers to the one held for the greatest
number o f weeks during the year. For most wage and
salary workers, a job is defined as all the time worked
for the same employer. The only exception is work for
private families (domestic service, child care, odd jobs,
etc.) which is counted as a single job regardless o f the
number of employers. Self-employment and unpaid
family work are also designated as jobs for purposes of
this survey.
Non workers are persons who did not work during the
year. These persons are also classified according to their
primary reason for not working such as illness or dis­
ability, home responsibilities, school attendance, inabil­
ity to find work, retirement, serving in the Armed
Forces, and other reasons. They are also classified as
to whether or not they looked for work.
Extent o f unemployment represents the number and
proportion o f the labor force that was unemployed at

Statistics on the labor force, employment, unemploy­
ment, and persons not in the labor force, classified by
a variety o f demographic, social, and economic char­
acteristics, are derived from the Current Population
Survey (cps), which is conducted by the Bureau of
the Census for the Bureau o f Labor Statistics. The in­
formation is collected by trained interviewers from a
sample o f about 60,OCK) households, representing 629
areas in 1,148 counties and independent cities, with co v ­
erage in 50 States and the District o f Columbia.
The estimates in this bulletin are based on responses
to questions on work experience included in the March
1982 and 1983 CPS. These questions refer, retroactively,
to the work experience o f persons 16 years and over in
the civilian noninstitutional population during the pre­
ceding calendar year. Because many persons enter and
leave the labor force during the course of the year, the
number o f persons with employment and with un­
employment as determined through the work experi­
ence questions is much greater than the annual average
for the same year based on data from the monthly
surveys.
Persons who reached age 16 during January, Febru­
ary, or March o f 1982 or 1983 are included. However,
the work experience o f persons who were in the labor
force during 1981 or 1982 but not in the labor force as
o f the March survey dates is not included; similarly,
data on persons who died in 1982 or 1983, before the
March survey dates, are not reflected.
The concepts, definitions, and estimating methods
used in the survey, as well as indicators of the reliabil­
ity o f the data are briefly described below. A more de­
tailed description o f the survey appears in Concepts and
Methods Used in Labor Force Statistics Derived From the
Current Population Survey, bls Report 463, and in the
Explanatory Notes o f the bls monthly publication,
Employment and Earnings.

C®n©(tp£s and D e fin itio n s
Persons with work experience are all civilians who
worked at any time during the preceding calendar year
at full- or part-time jobs for pay or profit (including
paid vacation and sick leave) or worked without pay
on a farm or in a business that was family operated.

some time during the year. The number of weeks un­
employed is the total number of weeks accumulated
during the entire year.
A spell o f unemployment represents a continuous
period of unemployment of at least 1 week’s duration.
A spell is terminated by employment or withdrawal
from the labor force.
A ge is based on the age o f the respondent at his or her
last birthday.
White, black, and other are terms used to describe the
race o f workers. Included in the “other” group are
American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Asians, and Pa­
cific Islanders, and any other race except white and
black. All tables in this bulletin which contain racial
data present data for the black population group. Be­
cause o f their relatively small sample size, data for
“other” races are not published. In the enumeration
process, race is determined by the household
respondent.
Hispanic origin refers to persons who identified them­
selves in the enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto
Rican living on the mainland, Cuban, Central or South
American, or of other Hispanic origin or descent. Per­
sons o f Hispanic origin may be o f any race; thus, they
are included in both the white and black population
groups.
Single, never married; married, spouse present-, and other
marital status are terms used to define the marital status
o f individuals at the time of interview. Married, spouse
present, applies to husband and wife if both were re­
ported as members of the same household even though
one may be temporarily absent on business, vacation,
on a visit, in a hospital, etc. Other marital status applies
to persons who are married, spouse absent; widowed;
or divorced. Married, spouse absent, includes persons
who are separated because of marital discord, as well
as persons who are living apart because either the hus­
band or the wife was employed and living away from
home, serving in the Armed Forces, or had a different
place of residence for any reason.

E stim ating ile th o d s
The estimating procedure used in this survey inflates
weighted sample results to independent estimates of the
civilian noninstitutional population by age, sex, race,
and residence. These independent estimates are based
on data from the 1980 census and other statistics on
births, deaths, immigration, emigration, and the Armed
Forces.

Reliability off the estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may
differ somewhat from the figures that would have been
obtained if a complete census had been taken using the
same schedules and procedures. As in any survey, the
results are also subject to errors of response and report­
ing. These may be relatively large in the case o f per­
sons with irregular attachment to the labor force. Par­
ticular care should be exercised in the interpretation of
figures based on relatively small estimates as well as
small differences between estimates.
The standard error is primarily a measure o f sampling
variability, that is, o f the variations that might occur
by chance because a sample rather than the entire popu­
lation is surveyed. The standard error also partially
measures the effect o f response and enumeration errors
but does not measure any systematic biases in the data.
The chances are about 68 out o f 100 that an estimate
differs from a complete census by less than the stand­
ard error. The chances are about 95 out of 100 that the
difference would be less than twice the standard error.
Tables A -l and A-2 show approximations o f the stand­
ard errors o f estimated numbers and percentages at the
68-percent confidence level, and should be interpreted
as providing an indication of the order o f magnitude of
the standard error rather than a precise standard error
for any specific item. Standard errors for intermediate
values may be obtained by interpolation. The follow ­
ing examples illustrate the use of these tables.
Table B-10 o f the supplementary tables shows that
15.441.000 men 16 years and over were unemployed at
some time in 1982. Table A -l shows the standard error
on this estimate to be approximately 163,000. Thus, the
chances are about 68 out o f 100 that the difference be­
tween the sample estimate and a complete census count
would be less than 163,000. The chances are 95 out of
100 that the difference would be less than 326,000.
The 15,441,000 men represented 23.3 percent o f the
66.160.000 men 16 years and over in the labor force
(those who worked or looked for work at some time
in 1982). Table A-2 shows the standard error o f 23.3

R@ynding @ff the estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal
the totals shown in the same tables because of inde­
pendent rounding of the totals and components to the
nearest thousand. Similarly, sums of percent distribu­



tions may not always equal 100 percent because of
rounding. Differences, however, are insignificant.

percent with a base o f 66,160,000 to be about 0.5 per­
centage point. Consequently, the chances are 68 out of
100 that a complete census count would have disclosed
the figure to be between 23.0 and 23.6 percent, and 95
out o f 100 that the figure would have been between
22.7 and 23.9 percent.
The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed
using sample data for both numerator and denomina­
tor, depends upon both the size of the percentage and
the total upon which the percentage is based. Estimated
percentages are relatively more reliable than the corre­
sponding estimates o f the numerator o f the percentages;

this is particularly true for percentages of 50 percent
or more. As a general rule, percentages are not pub­
lished when the monthly base of the measure is less
than 75,000. Because of the large standard errors in­
volved, there is little chance that summary measures
would reveal useful information when computed on a
smaller base. Estimated numbers are shown, however,
even though the relative standard errors of these num­
bers are larger than those for corresponding percent­
ages. These smaller estimates are provided primarily to
permit such combinations o f the categories as serve
each user’s needs.
