CAUTION
Periodically, the Bureau adjuststhe industry employment series to arecent benchmark to improve their accu-racy. These adjustments may alsoaffect the hours and earnings seriesbecause employment levels are used asweights. All industry statistics afterMarch 1959, the present benchmark date,are therefore subject to revision.
Beginning with November 1961 andsubsequent issues of Bnployment andEarnings, data in tables B-l through&3T, (£i through C-7, and D-l throughD-3 are based on the 1957 StandardIndustrial Classification and aMarch 1959 benchmark. Therefore,issues of Bnployment and Earnings priorto November I96I cannot be used in con-Junction with national industry datanow shown in sections B, C, and D.Comparable data for prior periods arepublished in Bnployment and Earnings

EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT HIGHLIGHTSAugust 1962
THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: AUGUST 1962
The number of workers on nonfarm payrolls rose by 22 5, 000 over the monthto 55.7 million, its highest August level on record. Job developments in most nonfarmindustries in August were primarily seasonal, aside from the impact of the automobilemodel changeover.
Transportation equipment reported a contraction of nearly 120, 000 jobs(entirely in automobiles) as compared with an expected drop of 50, 000 based onseasonal patterns of previous years. The automobile model changeover resulted ina sharper curtailment of production than at any changeover period since World War II,and the low point took place during the survey week. The fabricated metals industryalso recorded small cutbacks, related to the auto model changeover. Primary metalscontinued to show a lack of employment strength despite gains in steel productionsince early July. Most other hard-goods manufacturing industries registered small,largely seasonal, employment changes over the month.
Employment advances in most soft-goods manufacturing industries, notablyfood processing (90,000) and apparel (50,000), were in line with seasonal expectations.Employment in nonmanufacturing industries also followed usual July-August patterns,with the largest gains reported in construction (60, 000) and trade (40,000).
The factory workweek remained unchanged over the month at 40.4 hours,whereas a slight increase usually occurs between July and August. Although the work-week has fallen 0. 6 hour since April (seasonally adjusted), when it stood at an unusuallyhigh level, it was still the longest workweek for August since 1959 (40. 5 hours).Average weekly overtime held steady at 2. 8 hours in August, the highest for the month,aside from 1959, since data became available in 1956. Average hourly earningsdipped 2 cents an hour to $2. 37 in August. The average dropped because of the addi-tion of employees in soft-goods industries (whose average earnings are lower) and thecutbacks in durable goods where earnings are typically higher. This resulted in an$0. 81 decrease in average weekly earnings to $95. 7 5. Both hourly and weeklyearnings were up over the year at record levels for August.
As reported on September 5, unemployment was 3. 9 million in August ascompared with 4. 0 million in July. The jobless total did not show as large a declineas usual for this time of the year, with the impact of the model changeover andunexpectedly lapge additions to the adult labor force. As a result, the seasonallyadjusted rate of unemployment rose from 5. 3 in July to 5. 8 percent of the laborforce in August but was one full percentage point below the rate of last year. FromFebruary to July of this year, the rate had shown little change, remaining ataround 5-1/2 percent of the labor force.
State insured unemployment fell by 8 5,000 to 1. 5 million in August, a•smaller-than-expected reduction for this time of the year.
Total employment was at a record 69. 8 million in August. Nonagriculturalemployment (including the self-employed, domestics, and unpaid family workers) roseby one-half million over the month to an all-time high of 64. 0 million. Agriculturalemployment recorded a seasonal decline of 300, 000 in August to 5. 8 million.
Some 2. 6 million nonfarm workers in August reported they were working lessthan 35 hours a week because of economic reasons. The number remained virtuallyunchanged over the month; it has edged upward irregularly since the beginning of theyear, after allowance for seasonal fluctuations.
The total labor force did not show its usual seasonal contraction between Julyand August, owing to the unexpectedly large addition of adult men and women to thework force. At 76. 6 million, the total labor force was 1. 1 million higher than inAugust a year ago (after allowance for the shift to the I960 population census base inApril 1962), compared with an average over-the-year rise of 400, 000 in the previous7 months of 1962. On the basis of one month's data, however, it is impossible to tellwhether the labor force trend has changed.

Nonfarm Payroll Employment
The number of workers on nonfarm payrolls rose by 225,000 over themonth to 55.7 million in August. Aside from the employment declines in the auto-mobile and related industries, job developments were primarily seasonal.
Employment in durable goods manufacturing dropped by 70,000, although aslight pickup is generally expected between July and August. Transportationequipment, which had been expected to decline by 50,000, instead reported acontraction of nearly 120,000 jobs over the month. As usual, the auto modelchangeover appears to have also induced some job reductions in other industries,chiefly in fabricated metals. However, industry production schedules call fornearly 500,000 new cars in September, the largest for the month since 1950.
The primary metals industry again failed to show any evidence of employ-ment strength over the month despite a substantial rise in steel production sinceearly July. On a seasonally adjusted basis, employment in this industry hasfallen by 8 5, 000 since April of this year. It should be noted, however, thatincreases in production tend to lead employment gains in the steel industry.Most other hard-goods manufacturing industries reported small, primarily seasonal,employment changes over the month.
Seasonal gains by soft-goods manufacturing industries accounted for anincrease of about 200,000 jobs in August, with the food processing industry aloneadding 90,000 workers to its payrolls as canning operations approached theirseasonal high. The start of production of winter clothing resulted in about 50,000apparel workers being added to establishment payrolls. Changes among the othersoft-goods industries were generally small and in line with seasonal expectations.
Employment changes in nonmanufacturing industries also followed usualseasonal patterns over the month, with the largest gains reported in construction(60^000) and trade (40,000). Employment in finance, service, and government, asexpected, did not change significantly between July and August. Transportationand public utilities showed a greater than seasonal rise of 15,000 workers, part ofwhich reflected the return to work of several thousand striking airline employees.

Months from Prerecession Peak

Over the past 18 months, nonfarm payroll employment has risen by 2.1million1 from its recession low of February 1961. (See chart 4 . ) However, it hasshown virtually no change during the past 3 months.
Trade, finance, service, and government have been the principal contributorsboth to the over-the-year and the recovery-period gains. Since February 1961, allfour industry divisions have experienced substantial employment increases. Trade,which had dipped by 150, 000 during the recession, is now 200, 000 above its pre-recession level. Employment in finance, insurance, and real estate has sustainedits upward trend. There were 65, 000 more employees in this group in August 1962than in February 1961, and 125, 000 more than in May I960. On the other hand, growthin the service industry has been more pronounced in recent months after leveling offin the early months of 1962. Employment in services was nearly 300, 000 higher thanlast August and 350, 000 more than at the recession trough. State and local govern-ments, which have added 140, 000 new workers since the beginning of 1962, havecontinued their long-term uptrend in response to the growing requirements of schoolsystems and the demand for other public services. Employment in mining, construc-tion, and transportation and public utilities continued to show lack of growth,and inAugust, the job total in these industries combined was still 60, 000 below year agototals.
Factory employment, at 16. 9 million in August 1962, was about 400, 000 abovelast year1 s total and 800, 000 higher than at the trough of the 1960-61 recession; theAugust total was 200, 000 under May I960. About three-fourths of the gain in factoryemployment during the 18-month recovery period has occurred in the durable goodssector with most of the gains recorded in the early months of the upswing and duringthe first 5 months of 1962. The largest gains since February 1961 in the durable goodssector were reported by the electrical equipment, transportation equipment, andmachinery industries (between 100, 000 and 150, 000 each). The gain in total durablesand in transportation equipment was understated, however, by this month1 s develop-ments in the automobile industry. Employment in the primary metals industry inAugust 1962, although 50,000 above job levels at the recession trough, was some40, 000 below the total of last August as a result of cutbacks in recent months.Soft-goods manufacturing industries in August 1962 approximated May I960prerecession levels.
Factory Hours and Earnings
The factory workweek remained unchanged between July and August at 40. 4hours. However, seasonal expectations called for a slight increase from July. As aresult, manufacturing hours dipped by 0. 2 hour, on a seasonally adjusted basis.Cutbacks in hours in fabricated metals and transportation equipment accounted forroughly half of the over-the-month drop. Despite the decline, this was the longestworkweek for August since 1959 (40. 5.hours) and before that since 1955 (40. 6 hours).Since April of this year, however, the seasonally adjusted factory workweek hasfallen by 0. 6 hour from an unusually high level. (See chart 3»)
The workweek in durable goods held steady over the month at 40. 8 hours.On a seasonally adjusted basis, however, this represented a 0.3-hour decline. Modelchangeover resulted in a sharp drop in the transportation equipment industry anda related, but more moderate, decline in the fabricated metals industry. Inaddition, there were less than seasonal increases in several other hard-goods indus-tries. The workweek in primary metals, on the other hand, remained almost un-changed after seasonal adjustment. In the soft-goods sector, hours in the food,paper, petroleum, and leather industries did not keep pace with seasonal expectations.

Average weekly overtime hours for factory production workers were 2. 8 hoursin August, equalling the July level, and were the highest for August, aside from 1959,since data became available in 1956. Since the beginning of the year, overtime hours haveaveraged 0. 5 hour more than the comparable period in 1961.
Average hourly earnings dropped 2 cents an hour to $2. 37 in August. Theaverage dropped because of the addition of employees in soft-goods industries (whoseaverage earnings are lower) and the cutbacks in durable goods where earnings aretypically higher. This resulted inan $0.81 decrease in average weekly earnings to $95.75*Both hourly and weekly earnings were up over the year and at a record level for August.
Une mployme nt
The July-August decline in unemployment is usually rather sharp, asmany teenagers leave the labor force and plants reopen after shutdowns forvacations and inventory taking. Reductions in joblessness from these sourcesoccurred this August but, as noted previously, were offset in large part by twounusual developments:
1. The impact of the auto model changeover was especially sharp betweenthe July and August survey weeks this year, as passenger car production declinedfrom a near-record July level to a postwar low for August, Moreover, the lowpoint of changeover operations coincided with the August survey week this year.In 1960 and 1961, the only other years in which the changeover occurred inAugust, the low point was 1 or 2 weeks later than the survey period. Thisdevelopment affected the figures for adult men as well as the overall totals.
2. This year, the August survey week was as late in the month as it couldpossibly be. Since the week was close to Labor Day (the survey week is defined tobe the week containing the 12th of the month, this year August 12-18), an unusuallylarge number of women indicated they were waiting to start work on new jobs inseasonally-expanding activities within 30 days and were therefore classified asunemployed. In July, these persons were not in the labor force.

The failure of unemployment to decline as expected resulted in a rise in theseasonally adjusted unemployment rate from 5O 3 percent in July to 5. 8 percent inAugust, the highest since January of this year» From February to July, the rate hadheld within a narrow margin of 5. 3 to 5. 6 percent. Prior to the business downturn inI960, it had averaged around 5 percent.
There were 600,000 fewer unemployed persons this August than a year earlierwhen the business recovery was under way0 The jobless rate was one full percentagepoint below a year ago--5, 8 compared with 6. 8 percento
Duration of Unemployment. Most of the departure from usual seasonalpatterns occurred in joblessness of short (less than 5 weeks) and medium (5 to 14weeks) duration. Short-term unemployment dropped by 100,000 in August instead ofan expected 250,000. The number unemployed for 5 to 14 weeks was unchanged overthe month; it usually drops by about 150, 000.
Long-term unemployment of 15 weeks duration or more was virtuallyunchanged over the month (about in line with the expected seasonal pattern) at 900,000.The August level was half a million below a year earlier, but 100, 000 higher than2 years ago. Among the long-term unemployed were 600,000 persons who had beenseeking jobs for 6 months or more, some 300,000 less than in August 1961.
Age, Sex, and Marital Status. Joblessness among teenagers was reduced byabout 300,000 over the month, in line with the usual seasonal pattern, but unemploy-ment of adults increased contra seasonally to about offset the decline among youngpeople. The number of unemployed teenagers was down to 800, 000 in August--one-fifth of all unemployment--and normally drops even further in September.
The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for adult men (20 years ofage and over) increased from 4. 5 percent in July to 4. 9 percent in August, thehighest it has been since December 1961 when it was 5. 1 percent. The rate hadfluctuated between 4.4 and 4O 7 percent in the intervening period.

In actual numbers, joblessness among adult men has been reduced by 400,000to Io9 million from August 1961 o Most of this improvement occurred among marriedmen. Their number in August 1962 was 1,2 million (30 percent of the jobless total),compared with 1.5 million a year agoo As usual, their rate of unemployment was farbelow that of other workers — 3.7 percent, after seasonal adjustment*.
Unemployment among adult women totaled 1.3 million this August, about thesame as a year earlier. Over the month, the seasonally adjusted rate for this groupincreased from 5. 1 to 5. 8 percent, the highest it has been since the first of the year.From February to July, the rate ranged between 5. 0 and 5.2 percent.
Insured Unemployment
State insured unemployment, at 1. 5 million in mid-August, was down by85,000 from July. This was a smaller drop than usually occurs between the twomonths. The decline due to the reopening of plants which had been closed for vacationsand inventory taking was partly offset this August by auto model changeover layoffs.
An estimated 120,000 persons exhausted their regular State benefit rightsin August, compared with 125, 000 in July and 204,000 last August.
Altogether, 33 States reported over-the-month declines in insured unemploy-ment. New York reported the largest drop (37,000), largely reflecting a seasonalpickup in apparel plants. Seasonally expanded activities were also responsible fordeclines of about 20,000 each in California, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.Michigan and Wisconsin showed the only significant increases (54,000 and 10,000,respectively), mainly because of layoffs in the auto industry. In the Detroit area,insured joblessness nearly doubled, while in the auto centers of Lansing and Flint,it was up more than five-fold.
The national rate of insured unemployment (not seasonally adjusted) was3. 7 percent in August, compared with 3. 9 percent in July and 4. 5 percent in Augustof last year. The highest rates this August were in Michigan (6.4 percent),West Virginia (5. 6 percent), and Pennsylvania (5. 5 percent). The lowest rates(less than 2 percent) were reported in the District of Columbia, Virginia, and infive predominantly agricultural States west of the Mississippi River. (See chart 6.)
Labor Force
The total labor force usually contracts sharply at this time of the year astemporary summer workers leave the job market. Although teenagers withdrew fromthe labor force as anticipated this August, there were large, unexpected additions tothe work force among adult men and women (age 20 and over). This was reflected bothin the pickup in nonagricultural activities and in the failure of unemployment to showits usual late-summer decline. On the other hand, the farm work force was reducedby 300,000, in line with seasonal expectations.
The better-than-seasonal increase among adult men in August followed arelatively sharp contraction between June and July. Over the 2 months, the adultmale labor force in 1962 has generally approximated seasonal expectations.
After allowance for the introduction of I960 Census data into the monthlyestimation procedure, the total labor force was 1. 1 million higher in August 1962than a year ago. In the first 7 months of 1962, the average over-the-year rise wasonly 400,000. It is too early to tell, however, whether the gain in the labor forcemay have represented the beginning of a return to projected growth trends(especially among women).

Full- and Part-time Employment
The number of nonfarm workers on full-time schedules showed its usualJuly to August upturn, rising by 1. 3 million to 49.4 , largely as a result of the returnof workers from summer vacations. After allowance for seasonal variation, the numberof full-time workers was unchanged from June or July but the total was about 1-1/2million above a year ago© (See table B.)
There were 2. 6 million nonfarm workers on part time for economic reasonsin August, virtually unchanged over the month. About two-fifths of the total was com-posed of persons who usually work full time but whose workweek was cut back to lessthan 3 5 hours because of slack work or other economic reasons. Their number roseby 130,000 over the month to 1. 1 million in August 1962, but was about 100,000 belowa year ago. After allowance for seasonal movements, it has edged irregularly upwardsince the beginning of 1962 and in August was 300,000 above January and February levels.
On the other hand, the number of nonfarm workers who could find only part-time jobs showed a moderate decline of 180,000 between July and August as teenageworkers dropped out of the labor force. In August 1962, some 1. 5 million nonfarmworkers of all ages were in this group, about 400,000 less than last year. Since thebeginning of the year, this group has shown no consistent trend© (See chart 7.)

Labor Force Time Lost
Labor force time lost--a measure designed to reflect the combined effects ofunemployment and economic part-time employment--rose over the month from 6. 6 to7.0 percent (seasonally adjusted). The change over the month was affected by the sametemporary factors that contributed to the rise in the seasonally adjusted rate ofunemployment. (See chart 8.)
On a seasonally adjusted basis, the percent of labor force time lost in Augustwas about the same as in January. Between February and July, on the other hand,this percent had held close to the 6-1/2 percent mark.

*Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Two•eraging about one-quarter million workers which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work) thoseary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 days—were assigned to different classifications,the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.
ivailable.ining 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduc-laterial from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force,
groupson tempo:mostly ti

tion of p p y , ; ,total employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for total and males. Other catego-ries were relatively unaffected.
•Data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning 1960 and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion hasresulted in an increase of about half a million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 inthe labor for.ce, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciablychanged.
^Figures for periods prior to April 1962 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of 1960Census data into the estimation procedure. The change primarily affected the labor force and employment totals, which werereduced by about 200,000. The unemployment totals were virtually unchanged.

Explanatory Notes
Additional information concerning the preparation of the
labor force, employment, hours and earnings, and labor
turnover series—concepts and scope, survey methods, and
limitations—is contained in technical notes for each of
these series, available from the Bureau of labor Statis-
tics free of charge. Use order blank on page 9-E.
INTRODUCTION
The statistics in this periodical are compiled fromtwo major sources: (l) household interviews and (2) payrollreports from employers.
Data based on household interviews are obtained froma sample survey of the population. The survey is conductedeach month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of LaborStatistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the laborforce, i.e., the total number of persons 14 years of age andover who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data ontheir personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex,color, marital status, occupations, hours of work, and durationof unemployment. The information is collected by trained inter-viewers from a sample of about 35^000 households in 333 areasthroughout the country and is based on the activity or statusreported for the calendar week ending nearest the 15th of themonth.
Data based on establishment payroll records are com-piled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau ofLabor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The pay-roll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagri-cultural wage and salary employment, average weekly hours,average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnover for theNation, States, and metropolitan areas.
The figures are based on payroll reports from asample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 millionnonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to allworkers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the pay-roll period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
Relation between the household and payroll series
The household and payroll data supplement one another,each providing significant types of information that the othercannot suitably supply. R>pulation characteristics, forexample, are readily obtained only from the household surveywhereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably de-rived only from establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each otherbecause of differences in definition and coverage, sources ofinformation, methods of collection, and estimating procedures.Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasonsfor discrepancies. The factors which have a differential effecton levels and trends of the two series are described below:
Bnployment
Coverage. The household survey definitionof employment comprises wage and salary workers (including do-mestics and other private household workers), self-employedpersons, and unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more duringthe survey week in family-operated enterprises. Bnployment inboth farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll sur-vey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls ofnonfarm establishments.
Multiple jobholding. The household approachprovides information on the work status of the population with-out duplication since each person is classified as employed, un-employed, or not in the labor force. Bnployed persons holdingmore than one job are counted only once, and are classified ac-cording to the job at which they worked the greatest number of
hours during the survey week. In the figures based on estab-lishment records, persons who worked in more than one estab-lishment during the reporting period are counted each timetheir names appear on payrolls.
.d absences from jobs. The householdsurvey includes among the employed all persons who had jobs butwere not at work during the survey week—that is, were notworking or looking for work but had jobs from which they weretemporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation,labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time offfor various other reasons, whether or not they were paid bytheir employers for the time off. In the figures based on pay-roll reports, persons on paid sick leave, paid vacation, orpaid holiday are included, but not those on leave without payfor the entire payroll period.
Hours of Work
The household survey measures hours actually workedwhereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers.In the household survey data, all persons with a job but not atwork are excluded from the hours distributions and the computa-tions of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees onpaid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are includedand assigned the number of hours for which they were paidduring the reporting period.
Comparability of the household interview data with other series
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed totalfrom the household survey includes all persons who did not workat all during the survey week and were looking for work or werewaiting to be called back to a job from which they had beenlaid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible forunemployment insurance, figures on unemployment insuranceclaims, prepared by the Bureau of Employment Security of theDepartment of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted theirbenefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unem-ployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by un-employment insurance systems (agriculture, State and localgovernment, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work,nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemploy-ment compensation differ from the definition of unemploymentused in the household survey. For example, persons with a jobbut not at work and persons working only a few hours during theweek are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, butare classified as employed rather than unemployed in the house-hold survey.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department ofAgriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the in-clusion of persons under 1^ in the Agricultural MarketingService (AMS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders whoare counted more than once if they worked on more than one farmduring the reporting period. There are also wide differences insampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods, whichcannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences inlevel and trend of the two series.
Comparability of the payroll employment data with other series
Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau ofthe Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differ
from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from
1-E
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
its censuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing estab-lishments and the censuses of business establishments. Die ma-jor reason for lack of comparability is different treatment ofbusiness units considered parts of an establishment, such as'central administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in theindustrial classification of establishments due to differentreporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are also dif-ferences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., theCensus of Business excludes professional services, transporta-tion companies, and financial establishments, while these areincluded in BLS statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County BusinessIfetterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerceand Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establish-ment statistics in the units considered integral parts of anestablishment and in industrial classification. In addition,CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, inter-state railroads, and government.
Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs.Not all nonf arm wage and salary workers are covered by the Unem-ployment Insurance programs. All workers in certain activities,such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, areexcluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries arealso excluded in 32 States. In general, these are establish-ments with less than four employees.
LABOR FORCE DATA
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population,the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristicsof employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force dataare compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in itsCurrent Ibpulation Survey (CPS). (A detailed description ofthis survey appears in Concepts and Methods Used in the CurrentEmployment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau ofthe Census, U.S. Bureau of the Census, Current PopulationReports, Series B-23, Wo. 5» This report is available from BLSon request.)
These monthly surveys of the population are conductedwith a scientifically selected sample designed to represent thecivilian noninstitutional population 14 years and over. Re-spondents are interviewed to obtain information about the em-ployment status of each member of the household 1^ years of ageand over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during thecalendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15thof the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual fieldinterviewing is conducted in the following week.
Inmates of institutions and persons under 14 years ofage are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and areexcluded from the population and labor force statistics shown inthis report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are in-cluded as part of the categories "total noninstitutional popu-lation" and '*total labor force, " are obtained from the Depart-ment of Defense.
The sample for CPS is spread over 333 areas compris-ing 6hl counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed in-terviews are obtained each month from about 35>OOO households.There are about 1,500 additional sample households from whichinformation should be collected but is not because the occu-pants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporar-ily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This repre-sents a noninterview rate for the survey of about k percent.Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation planprovides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to becommon from one month to the next, and one-half to be commonwith the same month a year ago.
CONCEPTSEmployed Persons comprise (a) all those who during
the survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, orin their own business or profession, or on their own farm, orwho worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in abusiness operated by a member of the family, and (b) all thosewho were not working or looking for work but who had jobs orbusinesses from which they were temporarily absent because ofillness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, orbecause they were taking time off for various other reasons,whether or not they were paid by their employers for the timeoff.
Each employed person is counted only once. Those whoheld more than one job are counted in the job at which theyworked the greatest number of hours during the survey week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of for-eign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are notliving on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratoryfarm workers).
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted ofwork around the house (such as own home housework, and paintingor repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, chari-table, and similar organizations.
Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did notwork at all during the survey week and were looking for work,regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemploy-ment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who didnot work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a jobfrom which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to re-port to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were notin school during the survey week); or (c) would have been look-ing for work except that they were temporarily ill or believedno work was available in their line of work or in the community.Persons in this latter category will usually be residents of acommunity in which there are only a few dominant industrieswhich were shut down during the survey week. Wot included inthis category are persons who say they were not looking for workbecause they were too old, too young, or handicapped in anyway.
The Unemployment Rate represents the number unemployedas a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of theemployed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed forgroups within the labor force classified by sex, age, maritalstatus, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupationgroups, the labor force base for the unemployment rate also rep-resents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latterclassified according to industry and occupation of their latestfull-time civilian job.
Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time(through the current survey week) during which persons classi-fied as unemployed had been continuously looking for work orwould have been looking for work except for temporary illness,or belief that no work was available in their line of work or inthe community. Ebr persons on layoff, duration of unemploymentrepresents the number of full weeks since the termination oftheir most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmeticmean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total of allcivilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordancewith the criteria described above. The '*total labor force" alsoincludes members of the Armed Forces stationed either in theUnited States or abroad.
Mot in Labor Force includes all civilians Ik years andover who are not classified as employed or unemployed. Thesepersons are further classified as "engaged in own home house-work, " "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physi-cal or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includesfor the most part retired persons, those reported as too old towork, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom thesurvey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported asunemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work(less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the laborforce.
Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to thejob held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs areclassified in the job at which they worked the greatest numberof hours during the survey week. The occupation and industrygroups used in data derived from the CPS household interviewsare defined as in the i960 Census of Ibpulation. Information onthe detailed categories included in these groups is availableupon request.
The industrial classification system used in the Censusof Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhatfrom that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by indus-try. Employment levels by industry from the household survey,although useful for many analytical purposes, are not publishedin order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ fromthe payroll series because of differences in classification,sampling variability, and other reasons. The industry figuresfrom the household survey are used as a base for publisheddistributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other

characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, andoccupation.
The class-of-worker "breakdown specifies "wage andsalary workers," subdivided into private and government workers,"self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage andsalary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or payin kind from a private employer or from a governmental unit.Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees intheir own "business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15hours a week or more on a farm or in a "business operated by amember of the household to whom they are related "by blood ormarriage.
Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual numberof hours worked during the survey week. For example, a personwho normally works kO hours a week but who was off on theVeterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours eventhough he was paid for the holiday.
For persons working in more than one job, the figuresrelate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during theweek. However, all the hours are credited to the major job.
Parsons who worked 35 hours or more in the surveyweek are designated as working "full time"; persons who workedbetween 1 and 3^ hours are designated as working "part time."Ikrt-time workers are classified by their usual status at theirpresent job (either full time or part time) and by their reasonfor working part time during the survey week (economic or otherreasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, materialshortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or terminationof job during the week, and inability to find full-time work."Other reasons" include: labor dispute, bad weather, own ill-ness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire forfull-time work and full-time worker only during peak season.
ESTIMATING METHODS
The estimating procedure is essentially one of usingsample results to obtain percentages of the population in agiven category. The published estimates are then obtained bymultiplying these percentage distributions by independent esti-mates of the population. The principal steps involved are shownbelow. Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of theresults for a given month become available simultaneously andare based on returns from the entire panel of respondents.There are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmarkdata on labor force, employment, or unemployment. Therefore,revisions of the historical data are not an inherent feature ofthis statistical program.
1. Nbninterview adjustment. The weights for all in-terviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed toaccount for occupied sample households for which no informationwas obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, orunavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made sepa-rately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for sixgroups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residencecategories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The propor-tion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the popula-tion selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance,from that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics asage, color, sex, and residence. Since these population charac-teristics are closely correlated with labor force participationand other principal measurements made from the sample> thelatter estimates can be substantially improved when weightedappropriately by the known distribution of these populationcharacteristics. This is accomplished through two stages ofratio estimates.as follows:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the pro-cedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by theknown i960 Census data on the color-residence distribution ofthe population. This step takes into account the differencesexisting at the time of the i960 Census between the color-residence distribution for the Nation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step,the sample proportions are weighted by independent current esti-mates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimatesare prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data(i960) to take account of subsequent aging of the population,
mortality, and migration between the United States and othercountries.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving sta-tistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure isused which takes account of net changes from the previous monthfor continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as thesample results for the current month. This procedure reducesthe sampling variability especially of month-to-month changesbut also of the levels for most items.
Reliability of the Estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they maydiffer from the figures that would have been obtained if itwere possible to take a complete census using the same sched-ules and procedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variabil-ity, that is, the variations that might occur by chance becauseonly a sample of the population is surveyed. She chances areabout two out of three that an estimate from the sample woulddiffer from a complete census by less than the standard error.The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would beless than twice the standard error.
Table A shows the average standard error for the majoremployment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey arealso subject to sampling variability. The standard error ofchange for consecutive months is also shown in table A. Thestandard errors of level shown in table A are acceptable approx-imations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.

The figures presented in table B are to be used forother characteristics and are approximations of the standarderrors of all such characteristics. They should be interpretedas providing an indication of the order of magnitude of thestandard errors rather than as the precise standard error forany specific item.
The standard error of the change in an item from onemonth to the next month is more closely related to the standarderror of the monthly level for that item than to the. size of thespecific month-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to usethe approximations to the standard errors of month-to-monthchanges as presented in table C, it is first necessary to obtainthe standard error of the monthly level of the item in table B,and then find the standard error of the month-to-month change intable C corresponding to this standard error of level. Itshould be noted that table C applies to estimates of change be-tween 2 consecutive months. For changes between the currentmonth and the same last year, the standard errors of levelshown in table B are acceptable approximations.

Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the totalnumber of persons working a specific number of hours, as15,000,000, an increase of 500,000 over the previous month,linear interpolation in the first column of table B shows thatthe standard error of 15,000,000 is about 160,000. Conse-quently, the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the sampleestimate differs by less than 160,000 from the figure whichwould have been obtained from a complete count of the numberof persons working the given number of hours. Using the160,000 as the standard error of the monthly level in table C,it may be seen that the standard error of the 500,000 increaseis about 135,000.

The reliability of an estimated percentage, computedby using sample data for both numerator and denominator dependsupon both the size of the percentage and the size of the totalupon which the percentage is based. Where the numerator is asubclass of the denominator, estimated percentages are rela-tively more reliable than the corresponding absolute estimatesof the numerator of the percentage, particularly if the per-centage is large (50 percent or greater). Table D shows thestandard errors for percentages derived from the survey.Linear interpolation may be used for percentages and base fig-ures not shown in table D.

ESTABLISHMENT DATA
COLLECTION
fayroll reports provide current information on wageand salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover innonfarm establishments, by industry and geographic location.
Federal-State Cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies,the respondent fills out only one employment or labor turnoverschedule, which is then used for national, State, and areaestimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part ofrespondents and, together with the use of identical techniquesat the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographiccomparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishmentsand examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and complete-ness. The States use the information to prepare State and areaseries and then send the data to the BLS for use in preparingthe national series. The BLS and the Bureau of EmploymentSecurity jointly finance the current employment statistics pro-gram in Uh States, the turnover program in k2 States.
Shuttle Schedules
The Form BLS 790 is used to collect employment, pay-roll, and man-hours data, and Form DL 1219 or BLS 1219 for laborturnover data. These schedules are of the "shuttle" type, withspace for each month of the calendar year. The schedule is re-turned to the respondent each month by the collecting agency sothat the next month's data can be entered. This procedureassures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting, sincethe respondent can see the figures he has reported for previousmonths.
The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the numberof full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricul-tural establishments and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours of production and related workers or nonsupervisoryworkers for the pay period ending nearest the 15th of eachmonth. The labor turnover schedule provides for the collectionof information on the total number of accessions and separations,"by type, during the calendar month.
INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION
Establishments are classified into industries on thebasis of their principal product or activity determined from in-formation on annual sales volume. This information is collectedeach year on an industry class supplement to the monthly 790 or1219 report. In the case of an establishment making more thanone product or engaging in more than one activity, the entireemployment of the establishment is included under the industryindicated by the most important product or activity.
All national, State, and area employment, hours, earn-ings, and labor turnover series are classified in accordancewith the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau ofthe Budget, 1957. Since many of the published industry seriesrepresent combinations of SIC industries, the BLS has prepared aGuide to Employment Statistics of BLS, 1961 which specifies theSIC code or codes covered by each industry title listed inEmployment and Earnings. In addition, the Guide provides indus-try definitions and lists the beginning date of each series.The Guide is available free upon request.
Prior to January 1959, all national, State, and areaseries were classified in accordance with the following docu-ments: (l) For manufacturing, Standard Industrial ClassificationManual, Volume I, Bureau of the Budget, 19^5, and (2) for non-manufacturing, Industrial Classification Code, Social SecurityBoard, 19U2. State and area series were converted to the 1957SIC beginning in January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958) andnational industry statistics were converted in the latter part of1961 (with an overlap from 1958 to the month of conversion).Consequently, back issues of Employment and Earnings will notprovide earlier data on a comparable basis. However, for manyindustries, both BLS and the cooperating State agencies have con-structed series for years prior to 1958 which are comparable withdata starting with 1958 and based on the 1957 SIC. National datafor earlier periods comparable with those currently published areavailable in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the

CONCEPTS
Industry Employment
Employment data for all except the Federal Governmentrefer to persons on establishment payrolls vrho received pay forany part of the pay period endinp nearest the l^th of *be month.For Federal Government establishments, employment figures repre-sent the number of persons vrho occupied positions or the lastday of the calendar month. Intermittent workers are counted ifthey performed any service durinr the month.
The data exclude prorriet *r?, *he pelf-em: loved, un-paid family workers, farm worker?, m d domestic workers inhouseholds. lValnriad officers of corporations »re included.Government, employment covers only civilian employees; federalmilitary rersonnel are excluded from +-otal nonapri culturalemployment.
Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paidsick leave (uhen yny is received directly from the firm), on
paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a part of thepay period and are unemployed or onjstrike during the rest of theperiod, are counted as employed. Not counted as employed are per-sons who are laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike for theentire period, or who are hired but do not report to work duringthe period.
Benchmark Adjustments
Snployment estimates are periodically compared withcomplete counts of employment in the various industries definedas nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indi-cated by the total counts or- "benchmarks." The industryemployment estimates are currently projected from March 1959benchmarks. After allowing for the effect of shifts in prod-ucts or activities resulting from conversion to the 1957Standard Industrial Classification, and the changes in levelresulting from improved benchmark sources for employment notcovered by the social insurance systems, meaningful quantitativecomparisons can be made between estimates for March 1959 pro-jected from the last previous benchmarks (1957) and the actualMarch 1959 benchmark levels. This comparison reveals a differ-ence of 0.6 percent for total nonagricultural employment, prac-tically identical with the extent of the adjustment in March1957* the last benchmark adjustment prior to the shift inclassification systems. The differences were less than 1.0 per-cent for four of the eight major industry divisions; under 2percent for two other divisions; and 3.8 and k.9 percent for theremaining two divisions.
One significant cause of differences between benchmarkand estimate is the change in industrial classification of indi-vidual establishments, which is usually not reflected in BLSestimates until the data are adjusted to new benchmarks. Othercauses are sampling and response errors.
The basic sources of benchmark information are thequarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiledby State agencies from reports of establishments covered underState unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are pre-pared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supple-mentary tabulations prepared by the Bureau of Old-Age andSurvivors Insurance are used for the group of establishmentsexempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of theirsmall size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly excludedfrom the unemployment insurance laws are derived from a varietyof other sources. Among improvements introduced in 1961, whenthe industry statistics were converted to the 1957 StandardIndustrial Classification Manual, was the development of new andbetter sources of benchmark data for employment either outsidethe social insurance system or covered by it only on a voluntarybasis.
The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark month arecompared with the new benchmark levels, industry by industry.Where revisions are necessary, the monthly series of estimatesare adjusted between the new benchmark and the preceding one.The new benchmark for each industry is then carried forward pro-gressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establishthe level of employment while the sample is used to measure themonth-to-raonth changes in the level.
Industry Hours and Earnings
Hours and earnings data are derived from reports ofpayrolls and man-hours for production and related workers ornonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. Whenthe pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures arereduced to a weekly basis.
Production and Related Workers include working foremenand all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees)engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, re-ceiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping,maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services, productdevelopment, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g.,power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closelyassociated with the above production operations.
Nbnsupervispry Employees include employees (not abovethe working supervisory level) such as office and clericalworkers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attend-ants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen,and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose ser-vices are closely associated with those of the employees listed.
Bayroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time

production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who receivedpay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of themonth. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind,e.g., for old-age and unemployment insurance, group insurance,withholding tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay forovertime, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly bythe firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each payperiod), other pay not earned in pay period reported (e.g., retro-active pay), and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or otherpayment in kind are excluded.
Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, duringthe pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for produc-tion, construction, and nonsupervisory workers. The man-hoursinclude hours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leavewhen pay is received directly from the firm.
Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of produc-tion and related workers during the pay period ending nearest the15th of the month. Overtime hours are those for which premiumswere paid because the hours were in excess of the number of hoursof either the straight-time workday or workweek. Weekend andholiday hours are included only if premium wage rates were paid.Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, orother similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.
Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and nonmanu-facturing industries are on a "gross" basis, reflecting not onlychanges in basic hourly and incentive wage rates, but also suchvariable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work,and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive plan.Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and low-paid workand changes in workers1 earnings in individual establishmentsalso affect the general earnings averages. Averages for groupsand divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earningsfor individual industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated periodof time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unitof work or time. The earnings series, however, does not measurethe level of total labor costs on the part of the employer sincethe following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactiveitems, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paidby employers, and earnings for those employees not covered underthe production-worker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.
Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplyingaverage weekly hours by average hourly earnings. Therefore,weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in gross averagehourly earnings, but also by changes in the length of the work-week, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes, labor turn-over, and absenteeism.
Average Weekly Hours
The workweek information relates to the average hoursfor which pay was received, and is different from standard orscheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover,part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to belower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Groupaverages further reflect changes in the workweek of componentindustries.
Average Overtime Hours
The overtime hours represent that portion of the grossaverage weekly hours which were in excess of regular hours and forwhich premium payments were made. If an employee worked on a paidholiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensation hisholiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, noovertime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move inthe same direction, from month-to-month; for example, premiums maybe paid for hours in excess of the straight-time workday althoughless than a full week is worked. Diverse trends at the industry-group level may also be caused by a marked change in gross hoursfor a component industry where little or no overtime was workedin both the previous and current months. In addition, such fac-tors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not havethe same influence on overtime hours as on gross hours.
Hours and Earnings
The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching
and terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized inthe M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relateto all employees who received pay during the month, exceptexecutives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC group I). Grossaverage hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensa-tion by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtainedby dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to aweekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above.Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplying averageweekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Spendable Average Weekly Earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollarsare obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security andincome taxes from gross weekly earnings. The amount of incometax liability depends on the number of dependents supported bythe worker, as well as on the level of his gross income. To re-flect these variables, spendable earnings are computed for aworker with no dependents, and a worker with three dependents.The computations are based on the gross average weekly earningsfor all production or nonsupervisory workers in the industrydivision without regard to marital status, family composition,or total family income.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the currentConsumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the currentmonth. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 1957-59dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power sincethe base period.
Average Hourly Earnings Overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtime payare computed by dividing the total production-worker payroll forthe industry group by the sum of total production-worker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior toJanuary 1956, these data were based on the application of ad-justment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as describedin the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-5^*0). Bothmethods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for atone and one-half times the straight-time rates. No adjustmentis made for other premium payment provisions, such as holidaywork, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time andone-half.
Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hoursare prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by themonthly average for the 1957-59 period. The man-hour aggregatesare the product of average weekly hours and production-workeremployment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of grossaverage weekly earnings and production-worker employment.
Labor Turnover
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage andsalary workers into and out of employment status with respect toindividual establishments. This movement, which relates to acalendar month, is divided into two broad types: Accessions(new hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of employ-ment initiated by either employer or employee). Each type ofaction is cumulated for a calendar month and expressed as a rateper 100 employees. The data relate to all employees, whetherfull- or part-time, permanent or temporary, including executive,office, sales, other salaried personnel, and production workers.Transfers to another establishment of the company are included,beginning with January 1959.
Accessions are the total number of permanent and tem-porary additions to the employment roll, including both new andrehired employees.
New hires are temporary or permanent additions to theemployment roll of persons who have never before been employed inthe establishment (except employees transferring from anotherestablishment of the same company) or of former employees not re-called by the employer.
Other accessions, which are not published separatelybut are included in total accessions, are all additions to theemployment roll which are not classified as new hires includingtransfers from another establishment of the company.
Separations are terminations of employment during thecalendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.

Qudts are terminations of employment initiated byemployees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorizedabsences, if on the last day of the month the person has beenabsent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expec-ted to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated bythe employer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separatelybut are included in total separations, are terminations of employ-ment because of discharge, permanent disability; death, retire-ment, transfer to another establishment of the company, andentrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than 30 con-secutive calendar days.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufac-turing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not com-parable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employment seriesfor the following reasons: (l) Accessions and separations arecomputed for the entire calendar month; the employment reportsrefer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month; and(2) employees on strike are not counted as turnover actions al-though such employees are excluded from the employment estimatesif the work stoppage extends through the report period.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Several major technical improvements were achieved in1961, when the industry statistics were converted to the 1957Standard Industrial Classification Manual. The benchmark tabu-lations obtained from State unemployment Insurance agencies (seesection on benchmark adjustments), which formerly gave employ-ment totals by industry, were tabulated to give separate totalsby size of establishment within industries for the first quarterof each year beginning with 1959• Intensive analysis revealedthat significant improvements could be made for many of thehours and earnings series if the employment estimates for cer-tain industries were stratified by size of establishment and/orby region, and the stratified production- or nonsupervisory-worker data were used in weighting the hours and earnings intobroader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic estimatingcell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as the termis used in the summary of computational methods on page 8-E, maybe an industry size and/or regional stratum or it may be anentire industry or combination of industries. Further analysiswill be made, as resources permit, to determine whether strati-fication will improve the estimates of labor turnover rates.
More advanced automatic electronic data-processingequipment has also contributed to improving the program. Theadvanced equipment, with its greater capacity, has made feasiblethe increased number of computations required by the introduc-tion of size cells, and facilitates closer quality control ofdata input and output.
The general procedures used for estimating industryemployment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover statistics aredescribed in the table on page 8-E. Details are given in thetechnical notes on Measurement of Employment, Hours, andEarnings in Nonagricultural Industries and Measurement ofLabor Turnover, which are available upon request.
Reliability of Preliminary Estimates
For the most recent months, national estimates ofemployment, hours, and earnings are preliminary, and so foot-noted in the tables. These particular figures are based onless than the full sample and consequently subject to revisionwhen all of the reports in the sample have been received.Studies of these revisions in past data indicate that they havebeen relatively small for employment and even smaller for hoursand earnings. Because of the change in the industrial classi-fication system and in the estimating methods described above,it will not be possible to determine the magnitude of the errorin preliminary estimates published for 1961 and subsequentperiods, until sufficient experience has been accumulated.
STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and laborturnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies in co-operation with BLS. The area statistics relate to metropolitanareas, as defined in the Annual Supplement Issue of Employmentand Earnings. Additional industry detail may be obtained from
the State agencies listed on the inside back cover of each issue.These statistics are based on the same establishment reports usedby BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment, the sumof the State figures may differ slightly from the equivalentofficial U.S. totals on a national basis, because some Stateshave more recent benchmarks than others and because of theeffects of differing industrial and geographic stratification.
SEASONAL ADJUSTMENT
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurringseasonal movement which can be measured on the basis of past ex-perience. By eliminating that part of the change which can beascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observethe cyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series.However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern—that is, changes in a seasonally adjusted series—it Is impor-tant to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approxima-tion based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimateshave a broader margin of possible error than the original dataon which they are based, since they are subject not only tosampling and other errors but, in addition, are affected by theuncertainties of the seasonal adjustment"process Itself. Sea-sonally adjusted series for selected labor force and establish-ment data are published regularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment method used for these series isa new adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method,with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to take accountof changing seasonal patterns. A detailed description and illus-tration of the basic method was published in the August i960
The seasonally adjusted series on weekly hours and laborturnover rates for industry groupings are computed by applyingfactors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series, but sea-sonally adjusted employment totals for all employees and produc-tion workers by industry divisions are obtained by summing theseasonally adjusted data which are published for component indus-tries. The factors currently in use are available upon request.
In the case of unemployment, data for four age-sexgroups (male and female unemployed workers under age 20, and age20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation andare then added to give a seasonally adjusted total unemploymentfigure. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derivedby dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment(the sum of the four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) bythe figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force.Seasonal adjustment factors for major components of the laborforce to be applied to data for 1961 and later are provided inthe table below, since seasonally adjusted labor force series,except for the unemployment rates, are not published regularly inEmployment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current dataare based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factorsare revised in the light of the pattern revealed by subsequentdata. Data through December 1961 were used in deriving the cur-rent factors applicable to 1961-62. Revisions will be made annu-ally as each additional year's data become available.
