Employment and Unemployment Developments,June 1976
Unemployment rose in June, and total employmentdeclined slightly. The Nation's overall unemployment ratewas 7.5 percent, up from 7.3 percent in May and on apar with rates recorded between February and April.
Total employment—as measured by the monthlysurvey of households—was 200,000 below the Maylevel. Nonagricultural payroll employment—as mea-sured by the monthly survey of establishments—continued unchanged in June. However, both surveyshave shown very large employment gains from 1975recession lows: 3.4 million for total employment and2.6 million for nonfarm payroll employment.
Unemployment
The number of unemployed persons increased by280,000 in June to 7.1 million, seasonally adjusted.The rate of unemployment for all workers in June was7.5 percent, up from 7.3 percent in May and back to therates that prevailed from February to April.
Unemployment among teenagers changed about inline with seasonal expectations from May to June, asthe usual large numbers entered the labor force insearch of jobs after the closing of schools. However, ona seasonally adjusted basis, there was an increase amongadult men, whose rate of unemployment rose 0.4 per-centage point to 6.0 percent. There was also a rise inunemployment among adult women, as their rate movedfrom 6.8 to 7.1 percent. Unemployment among heads ofhouseholds, especially among male family heads, in-creased in June, as did the rates for married men andfull-time workers. The jobless rate for black workersrose to 13.3 percent, while the rate for white workerswas little changed at 6.8 percent. Over-the-month move-ments were generally mixed among the major industryand occupational groups, but there were large joblessrate increases for construction workers and blue-collarcraft workers.
The average duration of unemployment increased bynearly 2 weeks in June to 16.9 weeks, about equal tothe high reached last December. The number unemployed27 weeks and longer rose by 130,000 in June to 1.3million.
The number of persons working part time for eco-nomic reasons—full-time workers who are on part-timeschedules due to such reasons as slack work or the in-ability to find full-time work—declined by 300,000in June to 3.1 million, after fluctuating between 3.2 and3.4 million since last summer.
Total employment and the labor force
Total employment edged down in June, followingincreases totaling 1 million in the prior 2 months. TheMay-June change was characterized by continuing stronggains among adult women, offset by declines amongteenagers and adult men. Adult female employmentrose 180,000 in June to 31.8 million, 1.6 millionabove the level of a year earlier. Adult male employmentfell 200,000 over the month but was still up 1.2 millionfrom last June. Teenage employment declined by170,000 in June to 7.3 million, 280,000 above a yearearlier.
The total civilian labor force was essentially unchangedin June at 94.6 million. Labor force growth amongadult women was offset by a decline among teenagers,as the adult male labor force was about unchanged overthe month. Since June a year ago, the labor force hasgrown by 2.1 million workers—700,000 men, 1.3 mil-lion women, and 100,000 teenagers.
Discouraged workers
Discouraged workers are persons who want work butare not looking for jobs because they believe theycannot find any. They do not meet the labor markettest—that is, they are not engaged in active jobsearch—and therefore are classified as not in the laborforce. These data are published on a quarterly basis.
The number of discouraged workers, which had beendeclining since last fall, held about steady during thesecond quarter of 1976. At 900,000, their number was250,000 below the third quarter 1975 peak level. Vir-tually all of this decrease was among those citing jobmarket factors as the reason for their discouragement.(See table A.)

Industry payroll employment
Total nonagricultural payroll employment was 79.0million in June, seasonally adjusted, virtually the samelevel as in April and May. Payroll employment hadgrown by 2.6 million between the June 1975 recessionlow and April of this year. Of the 172 industries com-prising the BLS diffusion index of nonagricultural pay-roll employment, only two-fifths posted employmentgains in June, down from nearly two-thirds in the priormonth.
Employment in manufacturing fell slightly in June,as it had in May. Also as in May, most of the declinetook place in the nondurable goods industries. Prior tothe April-June decline, factory jobs had posted a 900,000increase from the July 1975 low. Contract constructionemployment was about unchanged in June at 3.4 mil-lion, a level that has prevailed since early last year.
Within the service-producing sector, small over-the-month gains took place in services, trade, and finance,insurance, and real estate. The increase in finance re-sulted from the settlement of a strike. Employmentgrowth in State and local government appears to haveslowed over the past 2 months.
Hours
The average workweek for all production or non-supervisory workers on private nonfarm payrolls fell0.2 hour in June, returning to the April level of 36.1hours (seasonally adjusted). All industry divisions withthe exception of manufacturing declined over the month.Manufacturing hours were unchanged at 40.2 hours,while factory overtime edged down 0.1 hour to 3.1hours in June. Both the factory workweek and over-time hours have remained strong during the first half
of 1976 and were up 1.4 and 0.8 hours, respectively,over their lows reached in early 1975.
Due largely to the decline in average hours, theindex of aggregate hours of private nonagricultural pro-duction or nonsupervisory workers fell by 0.6 percentto 110.7 (1967 = 100). The aggregate factory index alsodropped, by 0.7 percent to 93.9 in June. Since theMarch 1975 low, however, the index of factory hourshas risen by 8.7 percent.
Hourly and weekly earnings
Average hourly earnings of production or nonsuper-visory workers on private nonagricultural payrolls wereunchanged from the May level of $4.83 (seasonally ad-justed), but were up 7.1 percent over the last 12 months.Reflecting the drop in weekly hours, average weeklyearnings fell 0.6 percent over the month. Since Junea year ago, however, weekly earnings have risen by7.4 percent.
Before adjustment for seasonality, average hourlyearnings went up by 1 cent to $4.83. Since last June,actual hourly earnings have increased by 32 cents.Weekly earnings in June averaged $175.81, an increaseof $1.33 from May and $12.10 over the year.
The hourly earnings index
The Hourly Earnings Index—earnings adjusted forovertime in manufacturing, seasonality, and the effectsof changes in the proportion of workers in high-wageand low-wage industries—was 184.2 (1967=100) inJune, 0.3 percent higher than in May. The index was7.0 percent above June a year ago. During the 12-monthperiod ended in May, the Hourly Earnings Index indollars of constant purchasing power rose 1.5 percent.

t As noted on page 7 of the January 1972 issue of this magazine, the series does notinclude earned pay withheld as a consequence of delays caused by the ware freeze in effectbetween August 15 and November 14, 1971, and by administrative procedures of the PayBoard. These delays resulted from compliance with the Government's Economic StabilizationProgram. Because these withheld payments were substantial and fell due under a significantnumber of new labor-management contracts in that industry, they affected a large proportion
Average hourly earnings September 1971-November 1973 (revised to March 1974 benchmarks)
of SIC 372.The series shown below include these payments as well as an additional 17 cents delayed
payment for employees in a number of companies which had been pending as a consequenceof litigation.
These payments were due under labor-management contracts the last of which expiredin November 1973.

Introduction
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from three majorsources: (1) Household interviews, (2) reports from employers,and (3) administrative statistics of unemployment insurancesystems.
Data based on household interviews are obtained from asample survey of the population 16 years of age and over. Thesurvey is conducted each month by the Bureau of the Census forthe Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive dataon the labor force, the employed and the unemployed, includingsuch characteristics as age, sex, race, household relationship,marital status, occupation, and industry attachment. The sur-vey also provides data on the characteristics and past workexperience of those not in the labor force. The information iscollected by trained interviewers from a sample of about 47,000households, representing 461 areas in 923 counties and independ-ent cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District of Columbia.The data collected are based on the activity or status reportedfor the calendar week including the 12th of the month.
Data based on establishment records are compiled eachmonth from mail questionnaires by the Bureau of LaborStatistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The establishmentsurveys are designed to provide detailed industry information onnonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weeklyhours, average hourly and weekly earnings, and labor turnoverfor the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The employ-ment, hours, and earnings series are based on payroll reportsfrom a sample of establishments employing over 30 millionnonagricultural wage and salary workers. The data relate to allworkers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the payrollperiod which includes the 12th of the month. Based on a some-what smaller sample, labor turnover data relate to actionsoccurring during the entire month.
Data based on administrative records of unemploymentinsurance systems furnish a complete count of insured unem-ployment among the three-fourths of the Nation's labor forcecovered by unemployment insurance programs. Weekly reports,by State, are issued on the number of initial claims, the volume,and rate of insured unemployment under State unemploymentinsurance programs, and the volume under programs of unem-ployment compensation for Federal employees, ex-Armed Forcespersonnel, and railroad workers. These statistics are publishedby the Employment and Training Administration, U.S. Depart-ment of Labor, in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."
RELATION BETWEEN THE HOUSEHOLD ANDESTABLISHMENT SERIES
The household and establishment data supplement oneanother, each providing significant types of information thatthe other cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, forexample, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derivedonly from establishment reports.
Data from these two sources differ from each other becauseof differences in definition and coverage, sources of information,methods of collection, and estimating procedures. Samplingvariability and response errors are additional reasons for dis-crepancies. The major factors which have a differential effecton levels and trends of the two series are as follows.
Employment
Coverage. The household survey definition of employmentcomprises wage and salary workers (including domestics andother private household workers), self-employed persons, andunpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during the surveyweek in family-operated enterprises. Employment in both agri-cultural and nonagricultural industries is included. The payrollsurvey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrollsof nonagricultural establishments.
Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides informa-tion on the work status of the population without duplication,since each person is classified as employed, unemployed, or notin the labor force. Employed persons holding more than one jobare counted only once and are classified according to the job atwhich they worked the greatest number of hours during thesurvey week. In the figures based on establishment records,persons who worked in more than one establishment during thereporting period are counted each time their names appear onpayrolls.
Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey includesamong the employed all persons who had jobs but were not atwork during the survey week—that is, were not working but hadjobs from which they were temporarily absent because of illness,bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or becausethey were taking time off for various other reasons, even if theywere not paid by their employers for the time off. In the figuresbased on payroll reports, persons on leave paid for by thecompany are included, but not those on leave without pay forthe entire payroll period.
For a comprehensive discussion of the differences betweenhousehold and establishment survey employment data, seeGloria P. Green's article "Comparing Employment Estimatesfrom Household and Payroll Surveys," Monthly Labor Review,December 1969. Reprints of this article are available uponrequest from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
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 compu-tations of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees onpaid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included andassigned the number of hours for which they were paid during thereporting period.
COMPARABILITY OF THE HOUSEHOLDDATA WITH OTHER SERIES
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from thehousehold survey includes all persons who did not have a job atall during the surve*y week and were looking for work or werewaiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laidoff, regardless of whether or not they were eligible forunemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insuranceclaims, prepared by the Employment and Training Administra-tion of the Department of Labor, exclude persons who have ex-hausted their benefit rights, new workers who have not earnedrights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs notcovered by unemployment insurance systems (agriculture, someState and local government, domestic service, self-employment,unpaid family work, and religious organizations).
In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemploymentcompensation differ from the definition of unemployment usedin the household survey. For example, persons with a job butnot at work and persons working only a few hours during theweek are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensationbut are classified as employed rather than unemployed in thehousehold survey.
For an examination of the similarities and differencesbetween State insured unemployment and total unemployment,see "Measuring Total and State Insured Unemployment" byGloria P. Green in the June 1971 issue of the Monthly LaborReview. Reprints of this article may be obtained upon request.
Agricultural employment estimates of the Department of Agri-culture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion ofpersons under 16 in the Statistical Research Service (SRS) seriesand the treatment of dual jobholders who are counted more than
once if they work on more than one farm during the reportingperiod. There are also wide differences in sampling techniquesand collecting and estimating methods, which cannot be readilymeasured in terms of impact on differences in level and trend ofthe two series.
COMPARABILITY OF THE PAYROLL EMPLOY-MENT DATA WITH OTHER SERIES
Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of the Census.BLS establishment statistics on employment differ from employ-ment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from itscensuses or annual sample surveys of manufacturing establish-ments and the censuses of business establishments. The majorreasons for some noncomparability are different treatment ofbusiness units considered parts of an establishment, such ascentral administrative offices and auxiliary units, the industrialclassification of establishments, and different reporting patternsby multiunit companies. There are also differences in the scopeof the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Business excludesprofessional services, public utilities, and financial establish-ments, whereas these are included in BLS statistics.
County Business Patterns. Data in County Business Patterns(CBP), published by the Bureau of the Census, U.S. Departmentof Commerce, differ from BLS establishment statistics in thetreatment of central administrative offices and auxiliary units.Differences may also arise because of industrial classificationand reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes interstaterailroads and government, and coverage is incomplete for someof the nonprofit activities.Employment covered by State unemployment insurance pro-grams. Most nonagricultural wage and salary workers are coveredby the unemployment insurance programs. Beginning in January1972, coverage was expanded to include employees of smallfirms and selected nonprofit activities who had not been coveredpreviously. However, certain activities, such as interstate rail-roads, parochial schools, churches and most local governmentactivities are not covered by unemployment insurance whereasthese are included in BLS establishment statistics.
Household data(A tables)
COLLECTION AND COVERAGE
Statistics on the employment status of the population, thepersonal, occupational, and other characteristics of the em-ployed, the unemployed, and persons not in the labor force,and related data are compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of theCensus in its Current Population Survey (CPS). A detaileddescription of this survey appears in Concepts and Methods Usedin Manpower Statistics from the Current Population Survey, BLSReport 313. This report is available from BLS on request.
These monthly surveys of the population are conducted witha scientifically selected sample designed to represent the civiliannoninstitutional population. Respondents are interviewed to
obtain information about the employment status of eachmember of the household 16 years of age and over. Separatestatistics are also collected and published for 14 and 15 yearolds. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the calendarweek, Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th of themonth. This is known as the survey week. Actual field inter-viewing is conducted in the following week,
Inmates of institutions, members of the Armed Forces, andpersons under 14 years of age are not covered in the regularmonthly enumerations and are excluded from the populationand labor force statistics shown in this report. Data on membersof the Armed Forces, who are included as part of the categories"total noninstitutional population" and "total labor force," areobtained from the Department of Defense.

Each month, 47,000 occupied units are eligible for inter-view. About 2,000 of these households are visited but inter-views are not obtained because the occupants are not foundat home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other reasons.This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 4percent. In addition to the 47,000 occupied units, there are8,000 sample units in an average month which are visited butfound to be vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part ofthe sample is changed each month. The rotation plan providesfor three-fourths of the sample to be common from 1 month tothe next, and one-half to be common with the same month ayear earlier.
CONCEPTS
Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during thesurvey week did any work at all as paid employees, in their ownbusiness, profession, or farm, or who worked 15 hours or moreas unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of thefamily, and (b) all those who were not working but who had jobsor businesses from which they were temporarily absent becauseof illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, orpersonal reasons, whether or not they were paid by theiremployers for the time off, and whether or not they wereseeking other jobs.
Each employed person is counted only once. Those who heldmore than one job are counted in the job at which they workedthe greatest number of hours during the survey week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreigncountries, temporarily in the United States, who are not livingon the premises of an Embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of workaround the house (such as own home housework, and painting orrepairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable,and similar organizations.
Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did not workduring the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a jobwithin the past 4 weeks, and who were available for work duringthe survey week (except for temporary illness). Also included asunemployed are those who did not work at all, were available forwork, and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from whichthey had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a newwage or salary job within 30 days.
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.For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents thenumber of full weeks since the termination of their most recentemployment. A period of 2 weeks or more during which aperson was employed or ceased looking for work is considered tobreak the continuity of the present period of seeking work.Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from adistribution by single weeks of unemployment.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment aredivided into four major groups. (1) Job losers are persons whoseemployment ended involuntarily who immediately began look-ing for work and persons on layoff, (2) Job leavers arepersons who quit or otherwise terminated their employmentvoluntarily and immediately began looking for work, (3) Re-entrants are persons who previously worked at a full-timejob lasting 2 weeks or longer but were out of the labor forceprior to beginning to look for work. (4) New entrants arepersons who never worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks orlonger.
Jobseekers are all unemployed persons who made specificefforts to find a job, sometime during the 4-week period pre-ceding the survey week. Jobseekers do not include persons un-employed because they (a) were waiting to be called back to ajob from which they had been laid off or (b) were waiting toreport to a new wage or salary job within 30 days Jobseekers aregrouped by the methods used to seek work, including going to apublic or private employment agency or to an employer directly,seeking assistance from friends or relatives, placing or answeringads, or utilizing some "other" method Examples of the "other"category include being on a union or professional register,obtaining assistance from a community organization, or waitingat a designated pick-up point.
The civilian labor force comprises the total of all civiliansclassified as employed or unemployed in accordance with thecriteria described above. The "total labor force" also includesmembers of the Armed Forces stationed either in the UnitedStates or abroad.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployedas a percent of the civilian labor force. This measure can also becomputed for groups within the labor force classified by sex,age, marital status, race, etc. The job-loser, job-leaver, reentrant,and new entrant rates are each calculated as a percent of thecivilian labor force; the sum of the rates for the four groups thusequals the total unemployment rate.
Participation rates represent the proportion of the non-institutional population that is in the labor force. Two types ofparticipation rates are published: The total labor force participa-tion rate, which is the ratio of the total labor force and the totalnoninstitutional population; and the civilian labor force partici-pation rate, which is the ratio of the civilian labor force andthe civilian noninstitutional population. Participation rates areusually published for sex-age groups, often cross-classified byother demographic characteristics such as race and educationalattainment.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 years and over whoare not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons arefurther classified as "engaged in own home housework," "inschool," "unable to work" because of long-term physical ormental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes for themost part retired persons, those reported as too old to work, thevoluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the survey weekfell in an "off" season and who were not reported as unem-ployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work(less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force.
For persons not in the labor force, data on previous workexperience, intentions to seek work again, desire for a job at thetime of interview, and reasons for not looking for work arecompiled on a quarterly basis. As of January 1970, the detailedquestions for persons not in the labor force are asked only inthose households that are in the fourth and eighth months of thesample, i.e., the "outgoing" groups, those which had been in thesample for 3 previous months and would not be in for thesubsequent month. Between 1967 and 1969, the detailednot-in-labor force questions were asked of persons in the firstand fifth months in the sample, i.e., the "incoming" groups.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the employedapply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two ormore jobs are classified in the job at which they worked thegreatest number of hours during the survey week. The unem-ployed are classified according to their last full-time civilianjob lasting 2 weeks or more. The occupation and industrygroups used in data derived from the CPS household inter-views are defined as in the 1970 Census of Population. In-

formation on the detailed categories included in these groupsis available upon request.
The c!ass-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salaryworkers," subdivided into private and government workers,"self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wageand salary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, orpay \n kind from a private employer or from a government 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 number of hoursworked during the survey week. For example, a person whonormally works 40 hours a week but who was off on theColumbus Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hourseven though he was paid for the holiday.
For persons working in more than one job, the figures relateto the number of hours worked in ail jobs during the week.However, all the hours are credited to the major job.
The distribution of employment by hours worked relate topersons "at work" during the survey week. At work data differfrom data on total employment -because the latter includepersons in zero-hours worked category, "with a job but not atwork." Included in this latter group are persons who were onvacation, ill, involved in a labor dispute, or otherwise absentfrom their jobs for voluntary, noneconomic reasons.
Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the survey week aredesignated as working "full time," persons who worked between1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part-time." Part-timeworkers are classified by their usual status at their present job(either full time or part time) and by their reason for workingpart time during the survey week (economic or other reasons)."Economic reasons" include: Slack work, material shortages,repairs to plant or equipment, start or termination of job duringthe week, and inability to find full-time work. "Other reasons"include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own illness, vacation,demands of home housework, school, no desire for full-timework, and full-time worker only during peak season. Persons onfull-time schedules include, in addition to those working 35hours or more, those who worked from 1-34 hours for non-economic reasons and ususally work full time.
Full- and part-time tabor force. The full-time labor force consistsof persons working on full-time schedules, persons involuntarilyworking part time (part time for economic reasons), andunemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The part-time laborforce consists of persons working part time voluntarily andunemployed persons seeking part-time work. Persons with a jobbut not at work during the survey week are classified accordingto whether they usually work full or part time.
Labor force time lost is a measure of aggregate hours lost tothe economy through unemployment and involuntary part-timeemployment and is expressed as a percent of potentially availableaggregate hours, it is computed by assuming: (1) That un-employed persons looking for full-time work lost an averageof 37.5 hours, (2) rhat those looking for part-time work lost theaverage number of hours actually worked by voluntary part-timeworkers during the survey week, and (3) that persons on parttime for economic reasons lost the difference between 37.5hours and the actual number of hours they worked.
Race. White and black and other are terms used to describethe race of workers. The black and other category, which until
recently had been identified as "Negro and other races" andprior to 1969 as "nonwhite," includes all persons who areobserved in the enumeration process to be other than white. Atthe time of the 1970 Census of Population, 89 percent of theblack and other population group were black; the remainderwere American Indians, Eskimos, Orientals, and all other non-white groups. The term "black" is used in this volume whenthe relevant data are provided exclusively for the blackpopulation.
Spanish origin refers to persons who identified themselvesin the enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto Rican living onthe mainland, Cuban, Central or South American or otherSpanish origin or descent. According to the 1970 Census,approximately 96 percent of their population is white.
Major activity: going to school and major activity: other areterms used to describe whether the activity of young personsduring the reference week was primarily one of going to schoolor not. Statistics on major activities are published every monthin table A-7 for 16-21 year-olds by employment status, race,sex, and, if unemployed, whether seeking full- or part-time work.
Household head. One person in each household is designatedas the head. The head is usually the person regarded as the headby the members of the group. If a husband and wife familyoccupy the unit, the husband is designated as the head. The num-ber of heads is equal to the number of households,heads is equal to the number of households.
Vietnam-era veterans are those who served in the ArmedForces of the United States between August 5, 1964, andApril 30, 1975. Tables for veterans in this volume are limitedto males in the civilian noninstitutional popultaion; i.e., veteransin institutions and females are excluded.
Nonveterans are males who never served in the ArmedForces.
Poverty areas classification consists of all Census geograph-ical divisions in which 20 percent or more of the residents werepoor according to the 1970 Decennial Census. Persons wereclassified as poor or nonpoor by using income thresholdsadopted by a Federal interagency committee in 1969. Thesethresholds vary by family size, composition, and residence(farm-nonfarm). While poverty areas have a substantial con-centration of low-income residents, many poor persons live out-side these areas and, conversely, the areas include many peoplewho are not poor.
HISTORIC COMPARABILITY
Raised lower age limit
Beginning with data for 1967, the lower age limit for officialstatistics on persons in the labor force was raised from 14 to 16years. At the same time, several definitions were sharpened toclear up ambiguities. The principal definitional changes were:(1) Counting as unemployed oniy persons who were currentlyavailable for work and who had engaged in some specificjobsoekmg activity within the past 4 weeks, an exception to thelatter condition is made for persons waiting to start a new job in30 days or waiting to be recalled from layoff; in the past, thecurrent availability test was not applied and the time period forjobseeking was ambiguous, (2) counting as employed personswho were absent from their jobs in the survey week because ofstrikes, bad weather, etc. and were also looking for otherjobs; previously, these persons had been classified as unem-ployed; (3) sharpening the questions on hours of work, dura-

tion of unemployment, and self-employment in order to in-crease their reliability.
These changes did not affect the unemployment rate by morethan one-fifth of a percentage point in either direction, althoughthe distribution of unemployment by sex was affected. Thenumber of employed was reduced about 1 million because of theexclusion of 14-and 15-year-olds. For persons 16 years and over,the only employment series appreciably affected were thoserelating to hours of work and class of worker. A detaileddiscussion of the changes and their effect on the various series iscontained in "New Definitions of Employment and Unemploy-ment" by Robert L. Stein in the February 1967 issue of Employ-ment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force. Re-prints may be obtained upon request.
Noncomparability of labor force levels
Before the changes introduced in 1967, the labor force datawere not comparable for three earlier periods: (1) Beginning1953, as a result of the introduction of data from the 1950census into the estimation procedure, population levels wereraised by about 600,000; labor force, total employment, andagricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affectingthe figures for totals and males; other categories were relativelyunaffected; (2) beginning 1960, the inclusion of Alaska andHawaii resulted in an increase of about 500,000 in thepopulation and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths ofthis in nonagricultural employment; other labor force categorieswere not appreciably affected; (3) beginning 1962, the introduc-tion of figures from the 1960 census reduced the population byabout 50,000, labor force and employment by about 200,000;unemployment totals were virtually unchanged. In addition,beginning 1972, information from the 1970 census was intro-duced into the estimation procedures, producing an increase inthe civilian noninstitutional population of about 800,000; laborforce and employment totals were raised by a little more than300,000, and unemployment levels and rates were essentiallyunchanged. A subsequent population adjustment based on the1970 census was introduced in March 1973. This adjustmentaffected the white and black and other groups but had littleeffect on totals. The adjustment resulted in the reduction ofnearly 300,000 in the white population and an increase of thesame magnitude in the black and other population. Civilianlabor force and total employment figures were affected toa lesser degree; the white labor force was reduced by 150,000,and the black and other labor force rose by about 210,000.Unemployment levels and rates were not significantly affected.
Beginning in January 1974, the methodology used to pre-pare independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutionalpopulation was modified to an "inflation-deflation" approach.This change in the derivation of the population estimates hadits greatest impact on estimates of 20-24 year-old males—particularly those of the black and other population—but hadlittle effect on 16 and over totals. Additional information onthe adjustment procedure appears in "CPS Population ControlsDerived from Inflation-Deflation Method of Estimation" inthe February 1974 issue of Employment and Earnings.
Effective July 1975, as a result of the immigration of Viet-namese refugees into the United States, the total and black-and-other independent population controls for persons 16 yearsand over were adjusted upward by 76,000—30,000 malesand 46,000 females. The addition of the refugees increasedthe black-and-other population by less than 1 percent in any
age-sex group, and all of the changes were in the "other"population.
Changes in occupational classification system
Beginning with 1971, the comparability of occupationalemployment data was affected as a result of changes in censusoccupational classifications introduced into the Current Popula-tion Survey (CPS). These changes stemmed from an exhaustivereview of the classification system to be used for the 1970Census of Population. This review, the most comprehensive sincethe 1940 census, was to reduce the size of large groups, to bemore specific about general and "not elsewhere classified"groups, and to provide information on emerging significantoccupations. Differences in March 1970 employment levelstabulated on both the 1960 and 1970 classification systemsranged from a drop of 650,000 in operatives to an increase of570,000 in service workers, much of which resulted from a shiftbetween these two groups; the nonfarm laborers group increasedby 420,000, and changes in other groups amounted to 220,000or less.
An additional major group was created by splitting theoperatives category into two: operatives, except transport, andtransport equipment operatives. Separate data for these twogroups first became available in January 1972. At the same time,several changes in titles, as well as in order of presentation, wereintroduced; for example, the title of the managers, officials, andproprietors group was changed to "managers and administrators,except farm," since only proprietors performing managerialduties are included in the category.
Apart from the effects of revisions in the occupationalclassification system beginning in 1971, comparability of oc-cupational employment data was further affected in December1971, when a question eliciting information on major activitiesor duties was added to the monthly CPS questionnaire in orderto determine more precisely the occupational classification ofindividuals. This change resulted in several dramatic occupationalshifts, particularly from managers and administrators to othergroups. Thus, meaningful comparisons of occupational levelscannot always be made for 1972 and subsequent years withearlier periods. However, revisions in the occupational classifica-t ion system as well as in the CPS questionnaire arebelieved to have had but a negligible impact on unemploymentrates.
Additional information on changes in the occupationalclassification system of the CPS appears in "Revisions inOccupational Classifications for 1971" and "Revisions in theCurrent Population Survey" in the February 1971 and February1972 issues, respectively, of Employment and Earnings.
ESTIMATING METHODS
Under the estimating 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. Thereare no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmark dataon labor force, employment, or unemployment. Therefore,revisions of the historical data are not an inherent feature of thisstatistical program.
1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewedhouseholds are adjusted to the extent needed to account foroccupied sample households for which no information wasobtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or
138
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
unavailability of the respondent for other reasons. This adjust-ment is made separately by combinations of sample areas and,within these, for six groups—two race categories (white, andblack and other) within three residence categories. For sampleareas which are standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's),these residence categories are the central cities, and the urbanand the rural balance of the SMSA's. For other sampleareas, the residence categories are urban, rural nonfarm, andrural farm. The proportion of sample households not interviewedvaries from 3 to 5 percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.
2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population selectedfor the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, from that of theNation as a whole, in such characteristics as age, race, sex, andresidence. Since these population characteristics are closelycorrelated with labor force participation and other principalmeasurements made from the sample, the latter estimates can besubstantially improved when weighted appropriately by theknown distribution of these population characteristics. This isaccomplished through two stages of ratio estimates as follows:
a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is a procedure in which thesample proportions are weighted by the known 1970 Censusdata on the race-residence distribution of the population. Thisstep takes into account the differences existing at the time of the1970 census between the race-residence distribution for theNation and for the sample areas.
b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step, the sample pro-portions are applied to independent current estimates of thepopulation by age, sex, and race. Prior to January 1974 theseestimates were prepared by carrying forward the most recentcensus data (1970) after taking account of subsequent agingof the population, births, deaths, and migration between theUnited States and other countries.
Beginning in 1974, the "inflation-deflation" method ofderiving independent population controls was introduced intothe CPS estimation procedures. In this procedure, the mostrecent census population adjusted to include estimated netcensus undercount by age, sex, and race (i.e., "inflated") iscarried forward to each subsequent month and later age byadding births, subtracting deaths, and adding net migration.These postcensal population estimates are then "deflated" tocensus level to reflect the pattern of net undercount in themost recent census by age, sex, and race. The actua! percentchange over time in the population in any age group is preserved.
3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statistics for agiven month, a composite estimating procedure is used whichtakes account of net changes from the previous month forcontinuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the sampleresults for the current month. This procedure reduces thesampling variability of month-to-month changes especially andof the levels for most items aiso.
Rounding of estimates
The sums of individual items may not always equal the totalsshown in the same tables because of independent rounding oftotals and components to the nearest thousand. Differences,however, are insignificant.
Reliability of the estimates
Since the estimates are based on a sample, they may differfrom the figures that would have been obtained if it were
possible to take a complete census using the same schedules andprocedures.
The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, thatis, the variations that might occur by chance because only asample of the population is surveyed. The chances are about 2out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from acomplete census by less than the standard error. The chances areabout 19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twicethe standard error.
Table A shows the average standard error for the majoremployment status categories, by sex, computed from data forpast months. Estimates of change derived from the survey arealso subject to sampling variability. The standard error of changefor consecutive months is also shown in table A. The standarderrors of level shown in table A are acceptable approximations ofthe standard errors of year-to-year change.

of the monthly level for that item than to the size of the specificmonth-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to use theapproximations to the standard errors of month-to-monthchanges as presented in table C, it is first necessary to obtain thestandard error of the monthly level of the item in table B, andthen find the standard error of the month-to-month change intable C corresponding to this standard error of level. It should benoted that table C applies to estimates of change between 2consecutive months. For changes between the current monthand the same month last year, the standard errors of level shownin table B are acceptable approximations.
Illustration. Assume that the tables showed the total number ofpersons working a specific number of hours as 15,000,000, anincrease of 500,000 over the previous month. Linear interpola-tion in the first column of table B shows that the standard errorof 15,000,000 is about 133,000. Consequently, the chances areabout 68 out of 100 that the sample estimate differs by less than133,000 from the figure which would have been obtained from acomplete count of the number of persons working the givennumber of hours. Using the 133,000 as the standard error of the
monthly level in table C, it may be seen that the standard errorof the 500,000 increase is about 126,000.
The reliability of an estimated percentage, computed byusing 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 relativelymore reliable than the corresponding absolute estimates of thenumerator of the percentage, particularly if the percentage islarge (50 percent or greater). Table D shows the standard errorsfor unemployment percentages derived from the survey. Linearinterpolation may be used for percentages and base figures notshown in table D. As a general rule, percentages will not bepublished when the monthly base is less than 75,000 or theannual base is less than 35,000. Table E shows the standarderror of percentage of monthly levels and consecutive monthchange for frequently analyzed unemployment rate series. Theseerrors are computed from data for recent months. Errors onchange for nonconsecutive months are slightly greater (byroughly a factor of 1.1 times the month-to-month error).

Establishment data(B, C, and D tables)
COLLECTION
Payroll reports provide current information on wage andsalary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover innonagricultural establishments, by industry and geographiclocation.
Federal-State cooperation
Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, therespondent fills out a single employment or labor turnoverreporting form, which is then used for national, State, andarea estimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on thepart of respondents, and together with the use of identicaltechniques at the national and State levels, insures maximumcomparability of estimates.
State agencies mail the forms to the establishments andexamine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and complete-ness. The States use the information to prepare State and areaseries and then send the establishment data to the BLS for use inpreparing the national series.
Shuttle schedules
Two types of data collection schedules are used: Form BLS790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours; andForm DL 1219—Monthly Report on Labor Turnover. These
schedules are of the "shuttle" type, with space for each monthof the calendar year. The collection agency returns the scheduleto the respondent each month so that the next month's datacan be entered. This procedure assures maximum comparabilityand accuracy of reporting, since the respondent can see thefigures he has reported for previous months.
Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the number offull- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagriculturalestablishments and, for most industries, payroll and hours ofproduction and related workers or nonsupervisory workers forthe pay period which includes the 12th of the month. Form DL1219 provides for the collection of information on the totalnumber of accessions and separations, by type, during thecalendar month.
CONCEPTS
Industrial classification
Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and Form DL1219 are classified into industries on the basis of their principalproduct or activity determined from information on annual salesvolume. This information is collected each year on a supplementto the monthly 790 or 1219 report. For an establishmentmaking more than one product or engaging in more than oneactivity, the entire employment of the establishment is included
141
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
under the industry indicated by the most important product oractivity.
All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings,and labor turnover series are classified in accordance with theStandard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureau ofthe Budget,1967.
Industry employment
Employment data, except those for the Federal Governmentrefer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay forany part of the pay period which includes the 12th of themonth. For Federal Government establishments, employmentfigures represent the number of persons who occupied positionson the last day of the calendar month. Intermittent workers arecounted if they performed any service during the month.
The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaidvolunteer or family workers, farm workers, and domesticworkers in households. Salaried officers of corporations areincluded. Government employment covers only civilian em-ployees; military personnel are excluded.
Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sick leave(when pay is received directly from the firm), on paid holiday orpaid vacation, or who work during a part of the pay period andare unemployed or on strike during the rest of the period, arecounted as employed. Not counted as employed are persons whoare laid off, on leave without pay, or on strike for the entireperiod or who are hired but have not been paid during theperiod.
Industry hours and earnings
Average hours and earnings data are derived from reports ofpayrolls and hours for production and related workers in manu-facturing and mining, construction workers in contract construc-tion, and nonsupervisory employees in the remaining privatenonagricultural components. For Federal Government, hoursand earnings relate to all employees, both supervisory andnonsupervisory. Terms are defined below. When the pay periodreported is longer than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weeklybasis.
Production and related workers include working supervisorsand all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders andtrainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspec-tion, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping,maintenance, repair, janitorial and guard services, productdevelopment, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g.,power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closelyassociated with the above production operations.
Construction workers include the following employees inthe contract construction division: Working supervisors, qualifiedcraft workers, mechanic's apprentices, laborers, etc., whetherworking at the site of construction or in shops or yards, at jobs(such as precutting and preassembling) ordinarily performed bymembers of the construction trades.
Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not above theworking supervisory level) such as office and clerical workers,repairers, salespersons, operators, drivers, physicians, lawyers,accountants, nurses, social workers, research aides, teachersdrafters, photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurant work-ers, custodial workers, attendants, line installers and repairers,laborers, janitors, guards, and similar occupational levels, andother employees whose services are closely associated with thoseof the employees listed.
Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time production,construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received pay forany part of the pay period which includes the 12th 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 by thefirm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay period),other pay not earned in the pay period reported (e.g., retroactivepay), tips, and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or otherpayment in kind are excluded. "Fringe benefits" (such as healthand other types of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc.paid by the employer) are also excluded.
Hours cover the hours paid for, during the pay period whichincludes the 1 2th of the month, for production, construction, ornonsupervisory workers. Included are hours paid for holidaysand vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directlyfrom the firm.
Overtime hours cover hours worked by production or relatedworkers for which overtime premiums were paid because thehours were in excess of the number of hours of either thestraight-time workday or the workweek during the pay periodwhich includes the 12th of the month. Weekend and holidayhours are included only if overtime premiums were paid. Hoursfor which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, or othersimilar types of premiums were paid are excluded.
Gross average hourly and weekly earnings
Average hourly earnings are on a "gross" basis, reflecting notonly changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates but alsosuch variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shiftwork and changes in output of workers paid on an incentiveplan. Shifts in the volume of employment between relativelyhigh-paid and low-paid work and changes in workers' earnings inindividual establishments also affect the general earnings aver-ages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changesin average hourly earnings for individual industries.
Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earningsare the actual return to the worker for a stated period of time;rates are the amount stipulated for a given unit of work or time.The earnings series does not measure the level of total labor costson the part of the employer since the following are excluded:Irregular bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various welfarebenefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for thoseemployees not covered under the production-worker,construction-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 theworkweek. Monthly variations in such factors as proportion ofpart-time workers, stoppages for varying causes, labor turnoverduring the survey period, and absenteeism for which employeesare not paid may cause the average workweek to fluctuate.
Long-term trends of gross average weekly earnings can beaffected by structural changes in the makeup of the work force.For example, persistent long-term increases in the proportion ofpart-time workers in retail trade and many of the serviceindustries have reduced average workweeks in these industriesand have affected the average weekly earnings series.
Average weekly hours
The workweek information relates to the average hours forwhich pay was received and is different from standard or
142
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
scheduled hours. Such factors as unpaid absenteeism, laborturnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause average weeklyhours to be lower than scheduled hours of work for anestablishment. Group averages further reflect changes in theworkweek of component industries.
Average overtime hours
The overtime hours represent the portion of the gross averageweekly hours which were in excess of regular hours and forwhich overtime premiums were paid. If an employee worked ona paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensationhis holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day,no overtime hours would be reported.
Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, grossweekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in thesame direction from month-to-month; for example, overtimepremiums may be paid for hours in excess of the straight-timeworkday although less than a full week is worked. Diverse trendsat the industry-group level also may be caused by a markedchange in gross hours for a component industry where little orno overtime was worked in both the previous and currentmonths. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absenteeism, andlabor turnover may not have the same influence on overtimehours as on gross hours.
Hours and earnings for total privatenonagricultural industries
The series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions exceptgovernment. The principal source of payroll data is Form BLS790. Secondary source material such as the Bureau's Employ-ment and Wages, County Business Patterns of the Bureau of theCensus, and additional supporting information such as TheHospital Guide, Part II, of the American Hospital Associationand special studies by the National Council of Churchessupplement data for certain industry groups within the servicedivision.
For a technical description of this series, see the article,"Hours and Earnings for Workers in Private NonagriculturalIndustries," published in the May 1967 issue of Employmentand Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force. Reprintsare available upon request.
Railroad hours and earnings
The figures for class ! railroads (excluding switching andterminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized inthe M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission andrelate to all employees except executives, officials, and staffassistants (ICC group I) who received pay during the month.Gross average hourly earnings are computed by dividing totalcompensation by total hours paid for. Average weekly hours areobtained by dividing the total number of hours paid tor, reducedto a weekly basis, by the number of employees, as definedabove. Gross average weekly earnings are derived bv multiplyingaverage weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Spendable average weekly earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars areobtained by deducting estimated Federal sociai security andincome taxes from average weekly earnings. The amount ofincome tax liability depends on the number of dependentssupported by the worker and his marital status, as weli as on thelevel of his gross income. To reflect these variables, spendable
earnings are computed for a worker with no dependents and amarried worker with three dependents. The computations arebased on gross average weekly earnings for all production ornonsupervisory workers in the industry division excluding otherincome and income earned by other family members.
The series reflects the spendable earnings of only thoseworkers, with either none or three dependents, whose grossweekly pay approximates the average earnings indicated for allproduction and nonsupervisory workers. It does not reflect, forexample, the average earnings of all workers with threedependents; such workers, in fact have higher gross averageearnings than workers with no dependents.
Since part-time as well as full-time workers are included, andsince the proportion of part-time workers has been rising, theseries understates the increase in earnings for full-time workers.As noted, "fringe benefits" are not included in the earnings. Fora more complete discussion of the uses and limitations of theseseries, see the article by Paul M. Schwab, "Two Measures ofPurchasing Power Contrasted," in the Monthly Labor Review forApril 1971. Reprints of this article are available upon requestfrom the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the currentConsumer Price Index into the earnings averages for the currentmonth. This is done for gross average weekly earnings and forspendable average weekly earnings. The level of earnings is thusadjusted for changes in purchasing power since the base period(1967).
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime
Average hourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay arecomputed by dividing the total production worker payroll forthe industry group by the sum of total production-workerhours and one-half of total overtime hours. Prior to January1956, these data were based on the application of adjust-ment factors to gross average hourly earnings (as describedin the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Bothmethods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at11/2 times the straight-time rates. No adjustment is made forother premium payment provisions, such as holiday work,late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and one-half.
Indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and hours
The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and hours areprepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by themonthly average for the 1967 period. The hour aggregatesare the product of average weekly hours and production-workeror nonsupervisory worker employment, and the payroll aggre-gates are the product of hour aggregates and average hourlyearnings. At all higher levels of aggregation, hour and payrollaggregates are the sum of the component aggregates.
Indexes of diffusion of changes in number of employees onnonagncultura! payrolls
These indexes measure the percent of industries whichposted increases in employment over the specified time span.The indexes are calculated from 172 unpublished seasonallyadjusted employment series \two-digit nonmanufacturing indus-tries and three-digit manufacturing industries) covering all non-agricultural payroll employment in the private sector. A moredetailed discussion of these indexes appears in "Introduction ofDiffusion Indexes," in the December, 1974 issue of Employmentand Earnings.

Labor turnover The "link relative" technique
Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and salaryworkers into and out of employed 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 temporaryadditions 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 beenemployed in the establishment (except employees transferringfrom another establishment of the same company) or of formeremployees not recalled by the employer.
Other accessions, which are not published separately but areincluded in total accessions, are all additions to the employmentroll which are not classified as new hires, including transfersfrom other establishments of the company and employeesrecalled from layoff.
Separations are terminations of employment during thecalendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,layoffs, and other separations, are defined as follows:
Quits are terminations of employment initiated by em-ployees, 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 expected tolast more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by theemployer without prejudice to the worker.
Other separations, which are not published separately but areincluded in total separations, are terminations of employmentbecause of discharge, permanent disability, death, retirement,transfers to another establishment of the company, and entranceinto the Armed Forces for a period expected to last more than30 consecutive calendar days.
Relationship of labor turnover to employment series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manu-facturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are notcomparable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employmentseries for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separationsare computed for the entire calendar month; the employmentreports refer to the pay period which includes the 12th of themonth; and (2) employees on strike are not counted as turnoveractions although such employees are excluded from the employ-ment estimates if the work stoppage extends through the reportperiod.
ESTIMATING METHODS
The principal features of the procedure used to estimateemployment for the industry statistics are (1) the use of the"link relative" technique, which is a form of ratio estimation,(2) periodic adjustment of employment levels to new bench-marks, and (3) the use of size and regional stratification.
From a sample composed of establishments reporting forboth the previous and current months, the ratio of currentmonth employment to that of the previous month is computed.This is called a link relative. The estimates of employment (allemployees, including production and nonproduction workerstogether) for the current month are obtained by multiplying theestimates for the previous month by these "link relatives." Inaddition, small bias correction factors are applied to selectedemployment estimates each month. The size of the biascorrection factors is determined from past experience. Otherfeatures of the general procedures are described in table F.Summary of methods for computing industry statistics onemployment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover.
Size and regional stratification
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishmentand/or by region, and the stratified production or nonsuper-visory worker data are used to weight the hours and earn-ings into broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basicestimating cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, asthe term is used in the summary of computational methods, maybe a whole industry or a size stratum, a region stratum, or a sizestratum of a region within an industry.
Benchmark adjustments
Employment estimates are compared periodically with com-prehensive counts of employment which provide "benchmarks"for the various nonagricultural industries, and appropriateadjustments are made as indicated. The industry estimates arecurrently projected from March 1974 levels. Normally, bench-mark adjustments are made annually.
The primary sources of benchmark information are employ-ment data, by industry, compiled quarterly by State agenciesfrom reports of establishments covered under State unemploy-ment insurance laws. These tabulations cover nearly nine-tenths of the total nonagricultural employment in the UnitedStates. Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from therecords of the Social Security Administration, the Interstate Com-merce Commission, and a number of other agencies in private in-dustry or government.
The estimates relating to the benchmark month are comparedwith new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If revisions arenecessary, the monthly series of estimates are adjusted betweenthe new benchmark and the preceding one, and the newbenchmark for each industry is then carried forward progres-sively to the current month by use of the sample trends. Thus,under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establish thelevel of employment; the sample is used to measure themonth-to-month changes in the level. A comparison of the actualamounts of revisions due to benchmark adjustment for the last3 years is shown in table G.
Data for all months since the last benchmark to which theseries has been adjusted are subject to revision. To provide usersof the data with a convenient reference source for the reviseddata, the BLS publishes as soon as possible after each benchmarkrevision a summary volume of employment, hours, earnings, andlabor turnover statistics, entitled Employment and Earnings,United States.

THE SAMPLE
Design
The sampling plan used in the current employment statisticsprogram is known as "sampling proportionate to average size ofestablishment." This design is an optimum allocation designamong strata since the sampling variance is proportional to theaverage size of establishments. The universe of establishments isstratified first by industry and then within each industry by sizeof establishment in terms of employment. For each industry, thenumber of sample units is distributed among the size class cellson the basis of average employment per establishment in eachcell. In practice, this is equivalent to distributing the pre-determined total number of establishments required in thesample among the cells on the basis of the ratio of employmentin '^?i.. cell to total employment in the industry. Within eachnoncertainty stratum the sample members are selected atrandom.
Under this type of design, large establishments fall into thesample with certainty. The size of the sample for the variousindustries is determined empiricially on the basis of experienceand of cost considerations. In a manufacturing industry in whicha high proportion of total employment is concentrated inrelatively few establishments, a large percentage of total employ-ment is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample designfor such industries provides for a complete census of the largeestablishments with only a few chosen from among the smallerestablishments or none at all if the concentration of employmentis great enough. On the other hand, in an industry in which alarge proportion of total employment is in small establishments,the sample design calls for inclusion of all large establishmentsand also for a substantial number of the small ones. Manyindustries in the trade and services divisions fall into thiscategory. To keep the sample to a size which can be handled byavailable resources, it is necessary to accept samples in thesedivisions with a smaller proportion of universe employment thanis the case for most manufacturing industries. Since individualestablishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generallyshow less fluctuation from regular cyclical or seasonal patternsthan establishments in manufacturing industries, these smallersamples (in terms of employment) generally produce reliableestimates.
In the context of the BLS employment and labor turnoverstatistics programs, with their emphasis on producing timelydata at minimum cost, a sample must be obtained which willprovide coverage of a sufficiently large segment of the universeto provide reasonably reliable estimates that can be publishedpromptly and regularly. The presqnt sample meets these speci-fications for most industries. With its use, the BLS is able toproduce preliminary estimates each month for many industriesand for many geographic levels within a few weeks after reportsare mailed by respondents, and at a somewhat later date, statis-tics in considerably greater industrial detail.
Coverage
The BLS sample of establishment employment and payrolls isthe largest monthly sampling operation in the field of socialstatistics. Table H shows the approximate proportion of totalemployment in each industry division covered by the group ofestablishments furnishing monthly employment data. The cover-age for individual industries within the division may varyfrom the proportions shown. Table I shows the approximatecoverage, in terms of employment, of the labor turnoversample.

Since a few establishments do not report payroll andhour information, hours and earnings estimates may be basedon a slightly smaller sample than employment estimates.
National estimates of Federal employment are provided tothe BLS by the Civil Service Commission. State and areaestimates are based on a sample of 3,200 reports covering about53 percent of employment in Federal establishments.

Table J. Average benchmark percent revision in employ-ment estimates and relative errors1 for average weeklyhours and average hourly earnings by industry division
Reliability of the employment estimates
Although the relatively large size of the BLS establishmentsample assures a high degree of accuracy, the estimates derivedfrom it may differ from the figures that would be obtained if itwere possible to take a complete census using the same schedulesand procedures. As discussed under the previous section, a linkrelative technique is used to estimate employment. This requiresthe use of the previous month's estimate as the base incomputing the current month's estimate. Thus, small samplingand response errors may cumulate over several months. Toremove this accumulated error, the estimates are usually adjustedannually to new benchmarks. In addition to taking account ofsampling and response errors, the benchmark revision adjusts theestimates for changes in the industrial classification of individualestablishments (resulting from changes in their product whichare not reflected in the levels of estimates until the data areadjusted to new benchmarks). In fact, at the more detailedindustry levels, particularly within manufacturing, changes inclassification are the major cause of benchmark adjustments.Another cause of differences arises from improvements in thequality of the benchmark data. Improvements brought aboutby the most recent expansion in unemployment insurancecoverage were the major cause of differences in the March1973 benchmark adjustments. (See article by Carol M. Utter,"BLS Establishment Estimates Revised to March 1973 Bench-mark Levels", in the December 1974 issue.) Table J presents theaverage percent revisions of the six most recent benchmarks(excluding the March 1973 adjustment) for major industrydivisions. Detailed descriptions of individual benchmark revisionsare available from the Bureau upon request.
The hours and earnings estimates for cells are not subject tobenchmark revisions, although the broader groupings may beaffected slightly by changes in employment weights. The hoursand earnings estimates, however, are subject to sampling errorswhich may be expressed as relative errors of the estimates. (Arelative error is a standard error expressed as a percent of theestimate.) Relative errors for major industries are presented intable J and for individual industries with the specified number ofemployees in table K. The chances are about 2 out of 3 that thehours and earnings estimates from the sample would differ by asmaller percentage than the relative error from the averages thatwould have been obtained from a complete census.
One measure of the reliability of the employment estimatesfor individual industries is the root-mean-square error (RMSE).

The measure is the standard deviation adjusted for the bias inestimates
(RMSE (Standard Deviation)2 + (Bias)2 ).
If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that anestimate from the sample would differ from its benchmark byless than the root-mean-square error. The chances are about 19out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice theroot-mean-square error.
Approximations of the root-mean-square errors (based on theexperience of the last 6 years) of differences between finalestimates and benchmarks are presented in table K.
For the two most recent months, estimates of employment,hours, and earnings are preliminary and are so footnoted in thetables. These figures are based on less than the total sample andare revised when all the reports in the sample have been received.Table L presents root-mean-square errors of the amounts ofrevisions that may be expected between the preliminary andfinal levels of employment and preliminary and final month-to-month changes. Revisions of preliminary hours and earningsestimates are normally not greater than .1 of an hour for weeklyhours and 1 cent for hourly earnings.

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS
State and area employment, hours, earnings, and laborturnover data are collected and prepared by State agenciesin cooperation with BLS. The area statistics relate to metro-politan areas. Definitions for all areas are published each year inthe issue of Employment and Earnings that contains State andarea annual averages (usually the May issue). Changes indefinitions are noted as they occur. Additional industry detailmay be obtained from the State agencies listed on the insideback cover of each issue. These statistics are based on the sameestablishment reports used by BLS for preparing nationalestimates. For employment, the sum of the State figures maydiffer slightly from the equivalent official U.S. totals on a
national basis, because some States have more recent bench-marks than others and because of the effects of differingindustrial and geographic stratification.
For the States and the areas shown in the B and C sections ofthis periodical, all the annual average data for the detailedindustry statistics currently published by each cooperating Stateagency are presented (from the earliest date of availability ofeach series) in a summary volume published annually by theBLS.
PRODUCTIVITY DATA
(Tables C-1 0, C-11, and C-1 2) are compiled by the Bureau ofLabor Statistics from establishment data and from estimates ofcompensation and gross national product supplied by the U.S.Department of Commerce and the Federal Reserve Board.
Definitions
Hours of wage and salary workers in nonagricultural estab-lishments refer to hours paid for all employees—productionworkers, nonsupervisory workers, and salaried workers.
Output is the constant dollar market value of final goodsand services produced in a given period. Indexes of output perhour of labor input, or labor productivity, measure changes inthe volume of goods and services produced per unit of labor.
Compensation per hour includes wages and salaries of em-ployees plus employers contributions for social insurance andprivate benefit plans. The data also include an estimate of wages,salaries, and supplementary payments for the self-employed,except for nonfinancial corporations, in which there are noself-employed.
Real compensation per hour is compensation per hour ad-justed to eliminate the effect of changes in the Consumer PriceIndex.
Unit labor costs measure the labor compensation cost requiredto produce one unit of output and are derived by dividing com-pensation per hour by output per hour. Unit nonlabor paymentsinclude profits, depreciation, interest, and indirect taxes per unitof output. They are computed by subtracting compensation ofall persons from the current dollar gross national product anddividing by output. In these tables, unit nonlabor costs containall the components of unit nonlabor payments except unitprofits. Unit profits includes corporate profits and inventoryvaluation adjustments per unit of output.
The implicit price deflator is derived by dividing the currentdollar estimate of gross product by the constant dollar estimate,making the deflator, in effect, a price index for gross product ofthe sector reported.
Notes on the data
In the total private economy and the nonfarm sector, thebasis for the output measure employed in the computationof output per hour is Gross Domestic Product rather thanGross National Product. Computation of hours includes estimatesof nonfarm and farm proprietor hours.
Manufacturing data have been revised to reflect revisionsin the Federal Reserve Board Index of Industrial Produc-tion. Output data are supplied by the Bureau of EconomicAnalysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, and the FederalReserve Board. Quarterly measures have been adjusted bythe Bureau of Labor Statistics to annual estimtates of output(gross product originating) from the Bureau of EconomicAnalysis. Compensation and hour data are from the Bureauof Economic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

State and area unemployment data(E table)
Since November 1972, the Bureau of Labor Statistics hasbeen responsible for developing the concepts and methods usedby State employment security agencies to estimate State andlocal area labor force, employment, and unemployment. InDecember 1975, the Office of Management and Budget extendedthis responsibility to include the publication of State and localarea labor force and unemployment estimates. Prior to 1972,State agencies prepared estimates using a method developed bythe Department of Labor in 1950, generally referred to as theHandbook method (BES Report No. R-185). The new systemcombines the Handbook method with a set of procedures basedon the concepts and definitions used in the national CurrentPopulation Survey (CPS). Improvements have been in two areas:(1) The estimating methodology previously used by State agen-cies has been modified to more closely approximate CPS defini-tions; and (2) The State-prepared monthly estimates are bench-marked to annual average totals from the CPS.
Federal-State cooperative program
Labor force and unemployment estimates for States, labormarket areas (LMA), and other areas specifically defined forfund allocation purposes are developed under a Federal-Statecooperative program and transmitted each month to BLS. Thelocal area unemployment estimates approved by BLS are thebasis for determining eligibility of an area for benefits underFederal economic assistance programs, such as those establishedby the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA).
ESTIMATING METHODS
Monthly employment and unemployment estimates are pre-pared in several stages:
1. Preliminary estimate—Employment: The total employmentestimate is based primarily on data from the survey of establish-ments which produces an estimate of payroll employment. Thisplace-of-work estimate must be adjusted to refer to place ofresidence as used in the Current Population Survey. Adjustmentfactors for the major categories of employment by class ofworker and industry have been developed on the basis of em-ployment relationships which existed at the time of the 1970Decennial Census. These factors are applied to the payroll em-ployment estimates for the current period to obtain adjustedemployment estimates.
2. Preliminary estimate—Unemployment: In the current month,the estimate of unemployment is an aggregate of the estimatesfor each of three building block categories: (1) Persons who werepreviously employed in industries covered by State unemploy-ment insurance (Ul) laws; (2) those previously employed inindustries not covered by these laws; and (3) those who wereeither entering the labor force for the first time or reenteringafter a period of separation.
An estimate for those previously employed in covered in-dustries is derived from a count of current unemploymentinsurance claimants, plus estimates of claimants whose benefitshave been exhausted, those persons disqualified from receiving
benefits for nonmonetary reasons (because they quit, were dis-charged for cause, etc., but would otherwise have been eligible),and persons who either filed claims late, or not at all.
The estimate of those previously employed in industries notcovered by Ul is derived by applying the current ratio of coveredunemployment to covered employment to the employment esti-mate for each industry or class of worker subgroup in the State,weighted by factors reflecting national historical relationships.
For the third category, new entrants and reentrants into thelabor force, a composite estimate is developed from equationsthat relate the total entrants into the labor force to the ex-perienced unemployed and the experienced labor force. For eachmonth, the estimate of entrants into the labor force is a functionof: (a) the month of the year; (b) the level of the experiencedunemployed; (c) the level of the experienced labor force; and(d) the proportion of the working age population that is con-sidered "youth". The composite estimate of total entrants isdefined as:
U=A(X+E) + BX, WhereU = total entrant unemploymentE = total employmentX = total experienced unemployment
A,B = synthetic factors incorporating seasonal variation,and an assumed relationship between the propor-tion of youths in the working population and thehistorical relationship of entrants to the experiencedunemployed (B factor) or the experienced laborforce (A factor).
3. Adjustment for additivity. Using the Handbook method,States prepare independent employment and unemploymentestimates for the State, and for many substate areas. Anadjustment is applied to all substate estimates to ensure thatthe substate estimates add to the independent State totals.Specific additivity adjustment procedures vary from State toState, but are generally one of the three following basicmethods: (a) If a State is comprised of mutually exclusiveand exhaustive LMA's, then the difference between the in-dependent State estimate and the sum of the estimates forthe LMA's is prorated over all LMA's in the State, to pro-duce a set of substate estimates which add to the independentState estimate; (b) If the mutually exclusive LMA's do notexhaust the geographic area of the State, then the differencebetween the independent State estimate and the sum of theLMA estimates, or residual, becomes the balance-of-State esti-mate; (c) If a State contains LMA's which are benchmarkedindependently (see below), estimates for these areas are sub-tracted from the independent State estimate and the addi-tivity adjustment is then applied to the remaining areas in thebalance of the State.
4. Benchmark correction and extrapolation procedures. Onceeach year all monthly estimates prepared by State employmentsecurity agencies under the Handbook method are adjusted,or benchmarked, by BLS to the annual average estimatesresulting from the CPS. This adjustment is necessary because
149
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
the State-prepared estimates are not as reliable as the CPSestimates, due to differences in State Ul laws, the structurallimitations of the Handbook method, and errors in the Uldata.
The benchmarked estimates are produced in three stages.First, the monthly Handbook estimates are adjusted by theratio of the CPS and Handbook annual averages. Second, thedifference between the ratio of annual averages for two con-secutive years is wedged into the monthly estimates in orderto minimize the disturbance to the original series. Finally,the second-stage estimates are forced into agreement withCPS annual averages.
The benchmarked estimates are extrapolated into the currentyear by applying the latest relevant correction factor to thecurrent Handbook estimates of employment and unemployment.The employment factor used in year (t) is the quotient of theDecember employment benchmarked and Handbook estimatesin year (t-1). The unemployment factor for year (t) is thealgebraic difference between the December unemploymentbenchmarked and Handbook estimates in year (t-1). The pre-liminary estimate in the current year is then the result ofapplying the correction factor by multiplication (for employ-ment), or by addition (for unemployment) to the current Hand-book estimate.
Unemployment insurance data(F tables)
Insured unemployment represents the number of personsreporting a week of unemployment under an unemploymentinsurance program. It includes some persons who are workingpart time who would be counted as employed in the payroll andhousehold surveys. Excluded are persons who have exhaustedtheir benefit rights and workers who have not earned rights tounemployment insurance. In general, excluded from coverage arethose persons engaged in agriculture, domestic service, unpaidfamily work, selected nonprofit organizations, some State andlocal government and self-employment. Also excluded from theinsured unemployment count, but included as employed in thehousehold survey, are those persons who earned no wages duringthe payroll period because they were temporarily absent fromtheir jobs due to taking time off, illness and industrial dispute aswell as unpaid vacations. The rate of insured unemployment is
the number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent ofaverage covered employment in a 12-month period ending 6 to 8months prior to the week of reference. Initial claims are noticesfiled by those losing jobs covered by an unemploymentinsurance program that they are starting a period of unemploy-ment. A claimant who continued to be unemployed a full weekis then counted in the insured unemployment figure.
Because of differences in State laws and procedures underwhich unemployment insurance programs are operated, Stateunemployment rates generally indicate, but do not preciselymeasure, differences among the individual States, Personswishing to receive a detailed description of the nature, sources,inclusions and exclusions, and limitations of unemploymentinsurance data should address their inquiries to Employment andTraining Administration, Washington, D.C. 20210.
Seasonal adjustment
Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring seasonalmovement which can be estimated on the basis of pastexperience. By eliminating that part of the change which can beascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to observe thecyclical and other nonseasonal movements in the series. How-ever, in evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern-that is, changes in a seasonally adjusted series—it is important tonote that seasonal adjustment is merely an approximation basedon past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have a broadermargin of possible error than the original data on which they arebased, since they are subject not only to sampling and othererrors, but in addition, are affected by the uncertainties of theseasonal adjustment process itself. Seasonally adjusted series forselected labor force and establishment data are publishedregularly in Employment and Earnings.
The seasonal adjustment methods used for these series are anadaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method, witha provision for moving "adjustment factors" to take account ofchanging seasonal patterns. A detailed description of the methodis given in the two publications, BLS Seasonal Factor Method(1966) and X-11 Variant of the Census Method II Seasonal Ad-justment Program, Technical Paper No. 15, Bureau of theCensus (1967).
Data for the household series are seasonally adjusted utilizingthe Census Bureau's X-11 Method. Each January, seasonal ad-
justment factors for unemployment and other labor force seriesare revised to take into account data from the previous year. InJanuary 1976, in addition to the routine annual revisions, theBureau introduced a modification in the procedure for seasonallyadjusting teenage unemployment and those few other unemploy-ment series (e.g., unemployed new entrants) of which teenagersare the exclusive or major part. All other series are adjustedfollowing past procedures.
All civilian labor force and unemployment rate statistics, aswell as the major employment and unemployment estimates, arecomputed by aggregating independently adjusted series. Forexample, for each of the three major labor force components—agricultural employment, nonagricultural employment,and unemployment—data for four sex-age groups (males andfemales under and over 20 years of age) are separately adjustedfor seasonal variation and are then added to derive seasonallyadjusted total figures. In order to provide seasonally adjustedtotal employment and civilian labor force estimates, the appro-priate series are aggreated. The unemployment rate for allcivilian workers is derived by dividing the estimate for totalunemployment (the sum of 4 seasonally adjusted sex-age com-ponents) by the civilian labor force (the sum of 12 seasonallyadjusted sex-age components),

seasonal factors for the 12 major components of the civilianlabor force, and a description of the seasonal adjustmentmethodology are published in the February 1976 Employmentand Earnings. Many additional series, which are either com-ponents or aggregates of the series presented, are availablefrom the BLS upon request.
For establishment data, the seasonally adjusted series onhours and hourly earnings, for industry groupings are com-puted by applying factors directly to the corresponding un-adjusted series, utilizing the BLS Seasonal Factor Method.However, seasonally adjusted employment totals for all em-ployees and production workers by industry division areobtained by summing seasonally adjusted data for the com-ponent industries. Seasonally adjusted average weekly earn-ings are the product of seasonally adjusted average hourlyearnings and average weekly hours. Average weekly earningsin constant dollars, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by dividingseasonally adjusted average weekly earnings by the seasonallyadjusted Consumer Price Index. Indexes of aggregate weeklyhours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by multiplying aver-age weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production or non-supervisory workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing by the1967 base. For total private, total goods producing, total privateservice producing, trade, manufacturing, and durable and non-
durable goods the indexes of aggregate weekly hours, sea-sonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggregate weeklyhours, seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate component in-dustries and dividing by the 1967 base.
The seasonally adjusted establishment data for FederalGovernment are based on a series which excludes the Christmastemporary help employed by the Postal Service in December.The employment of these workers constitutes the only signifi-cant seasonal change in Federal Government employmentduring the winter months. Furthermore, the volume of suchemployment may change substantially from year to year becauseof administrative decisions by the Postal Service. Hence, it wasconsidered desirable to exclude this group from the data uponwhich the seasonally adjusted series is based.
Labor turnover rates are seasonally adjusted by applyingappropriate seasonal factors to the rate. These factors arederived by the Census X-11 method using the trading dayoption. As a result these series are adjusted for the number oftimes each day of the week occurs in a given month, as wellas for the month of the year.
The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishmentdata reflect experience through June 1975. Seasonal factorsto be used for current adjustment appear in the October 1975issue of Employment and Earnings.
Additional information concerning the preparation of the labor force, employment, hours, earnings,and labor turnover series—concepts and scope, survey methods, and limitations—is contained in theHandbook of Methods, BLS Bulletin 1910.
