Employment and Unemployment Developments,September 1975
Unemployment and total employment were littlechanged in September while nonagricultural payroll em-ployment continued to rise. The unemployment ratewas 8.3 percent, little different from July and Augustwhen it was 8.4 percent but substantially below therecession peak of 8.9 percent reached in the secondquarter of the year.
Total employment—as measured by the monthlysurvey of households—was about unchanged from Au-gust to September after posting a gain of one and a halfmillion in the previous 5-month span. Employment haddeclined by 2.6 million over the September-March period.
Total nonagricultural payroll employment—as mea-sured by the monthly survey of establishments—increased by about 180,000 in September, nearly all of itin the bellwether manufacturing industries. Since theJune low, payroll employment has risen by 870,000,which has resulted in a considerable narrowing of therecent trend differences in the household and establish-ment series.
Unemployment
The number of persons unemployed totaled 7.8million in September, seasonally adjusted, essentiallyunchanged from the levels prevailing since July. Therate of unemployment has also shown little movementover the past 3 months but, at 8.3 percent, was six-tenths of a percentage point below the recession peakregistered in the second quarter. A year ago, when thesharp increases in joblessness first began, the rate was5.8 percent.
As was the case in August, the stability in overalljoblessness masked divergent movements among themajor labor force groups. After declining to 6.6 percentin August, the jobless rate for adult men returned tothe June-July level of 7.0 percent. This change alsowas reflected in increased joblessness among householdheads and married men. The rate for teenagers, on theother hand, which had increased sharply in August,declined to 19.3 percent in September, approximatingthe levels prevailing in June and July. The jobless ratefor adult women continued its downward drift that hastotaled a full percentage point from the second quarter
high of 8.5 percent. Unemployment rates for most ofthe other labor force categories, including the majorindustry and occupational groups, showed little or nochange over the month.
Although the unemployment rate for workers coveredby regular State unemployment insurance programs wasunchanged at 5.8 percent in September, it has droppedsharply from the peak of 7.0 percent attained in May.There were 3.9 million persons (seasonally adjusted)claiming regular State U.I. benefits, but the total numberof unemployed insurance claimants is much larger whenthe 2.5 million persons (not seasonally adjusted) claim-ing benefits under various special programs, including theFederal extended benefits programs, are taken intoaccount.
The number of persons unemployed 15 weeks ormore was essentially unchanged at 2.9 million in Sep-tember, after posting the first real decline in Augustsince late 1973. However, there was a continued in-crease in the number of persons unemployed 27 weeksand over, sometimes referred to as the hard-core unem-ployed; at 1.6 million, this was the highest level in thepost-World War II period and constituted one-fifth ofthe jobless total. Offsetting this increase was a secondstraight monthly decline in the number of persons job-less 15-26 weeks. On an overall basis, the average periodof joblessness continued to rise, and, at 16.2 weeks, meanduration was at its highest level since late 1961.
The number of unemployed who had lost their lastjob increased by 300,000 in September to 4.6 million,a return to the July level. Unemployment stemming fromjob loss had dropped by nearly 600,000 over the May-August period.
Total Employment and Civilian Labor Force
Total employment was about unchanged in Septemberat 85.4 million, seasonally adjusted, after registering gainstotaling about 1.5 million from the March low point toAugust. Employment remained about a million belowits year-earlier peak level.
Similarly, the civilian labor force, at 93.2 million,was essentially the same as in August, following gainstotaling 800,000 in the 2 previous months. Over the
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
past year, the labor force has expanded by less than1.4 million, with all of the increase limited to the last7 months. In the 3 previous years, the labor force roseat a considerably faster pace, a million or more workersper year in excess of the current year's gain.
Industry Payroll Employment
Total nonagricultural payroll employment increasedfor the third consecutive month, rising, by 180,000 to77.2 million (seasonally adjusted) in September. Thisgrowth was concentrated primarily in the manufacturingindustries, which also posted a gain of 180,000. For thesecond consecutive month, more than 70 percent of the172 industries in the BLS diffusion index registered em-ployment increases.
Within manufacturing, large gains took place in boththe durable and nondurable goods industries (up 100,000and 80,000, respectively). Within durable goods, thelargest increases took place in the electrical equipment,primary metals, machinery, and furniture industries. Innondurable goods, substantial gains were posted in foodprocessing, apparel, and textile mill products.
Other than manufacturing, the only industry to showa sizeable over-the-month increase in September was serv-ices. Most of the remaining industries were about un-changed, with just one—State and local government—posting a large decline, much of which resulted from ateachers' strike.
While growth has been resumed in manufacturing, theother highly cyclical industry, contract construction, hasheld at a low plateau in the past few months that was700,000 jobs below the pre-recession peak reached inearly 1974.
Hours
The average workweek for all production or nonsuper-visory workers on nonfarm payrolls dropped two-tenthsof an hour to 36.0 hours in September (seasonallyadjusted), a return to the June and July levels. Over theyear, average weekly hours have fallen by 0.5 hour.
There were widespread declines in average weeklyhours within the service-producing sector, which counter-acted small pickups in both mining and manufacturing.Factory overtime remained at 2.7 hours in September,substantially above the 2.3-hour low posted in Marchand April.
With employment gains somewhat greater than thedecline in the workweek, the index of aggregate hoursof private nonfarm production or nonsupervisory em-ployees rose 0.3 percent over the month to 107.7(1967=100). The index of aggregate factory hours movedup markedly—by 1.7 percent—to 90.2, continuing theuptrend from the March low of 86.4. However, the Sep-tember factory index was 14 percent below its alltimehigh reached in December 1973.
Hourly and Weekly Earnings
Average hourly earnings of production or nonsuper-visory workers on private nonagricultural payrolls rose0.4 percent in September and were up 6.3 percent overthe year (seasonally adjusted). Average weekly earningsfell 0.1 percent in September but have advanced 4.8 per-cent from a year earlier.
Before adjustment for seasonality, average hourlyearnings rose 7 cents in September to $4.62. Since lastSeptember, average hourly earnings have risen 27 cents.Average weekly earnings in September were $167.24, anincrease of 71 cents over the month and $7.59 from lastSeptember.
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 174.9 (1967=100) inSeptember, 0.4 percent higher than in August. Theindex was 7.9 percent above September a year ago.During the 12-month period ended in August, theHourly Earnings Index in dollars of constant purchasingpower declined 0.1 percent.

BLS Establishment Estimates Revised toMarch 1974 Benchmark Levels
*by Gloria Goings
This issue of Employment and Earnings introduces re-vised data for the establishment-based series, reflectingthe most recent and complete employment counts,called benchmarks. The benchmark month for the cur-rent revision is March 1974, and most employmentdata have been revised beginning with April 1973. Hours,earnings, and labor turnover estimates, which are weight-ed by employment data, are also subject to revision as aresult of shifts in employment levels.
Coincident with the benchmark adjustment, all sea-sonally adjusted data have been revised back to January1970 to reflect experience through June 1975.
The benchmark review serves as a quality controlprocess by providing both a precise measure of employ-ment levels and analysis of series trends. Normally, newbenchmarks are determined for March of each year atthe most detailed industrial classification for which esti-mates are made. The difference between the benchmarkand the corresponding estimate is assumed to have ac-cumulated in constant increments over the previous12 months. Most series, therefore, are adjusted bywedging or tapering out the difference over the periodfrom the new benchmark to the preceding one, 12months earlier. The benchmark level is then projectedforward to the current month based on the trend ofmonthly reports submitted by a sample of employers.The estimates adjusted to the new levels are then aggre-gated through successively larger groupings to total non-agricultural employment.
The estimates for major industry divisions have gen-erally varied from benchmarks by less than 1 percent,except in 1973. A comparison of the size of the revi-sions made since 1970 is presented in table 1.

Within the 3-digit industry groups for which em-ployment estimates are published, only 19 of the 201groups were revised by 5 percent or more. The largerindustries in terms of employment, tended to have thesmallest percentage revision. (See table 3).

The March 1974 estimates and benchmark levels formajor industry groups (two-digit SIC) in manufacturingappear in table 4. Of the 21 major groups in this division,18 were revised by less than 2 percent. Revisions weresomewhat larger for the basic component industries but
two-thirds of these differed by less than 3 percent andonly about one-sixth differed by 5 percent or more.
Why estimates differ from benchmarks
There are four basic reasons for differences betweenbenchmarks and estimates:(1) changes in industrial classi-fication of individual establishments, (2) errors in trendcaused by nonrepresentative samples, (3) errors in adjust-ment for entry of new firms, and (4) improvements in thequality of the benchmark data. Changes in industrialclassification played a major role in the March 1974 re-visions. (This was also the case in the March 1971adjustment).
An establishment is classified by industry accordingto its major activity, which is determined by the principalproduct produced or handled, or service rendered. Anestablishment may engage in more than one activity. Ifthe composition of its output of products or serviceschanges so that what was once a secondary product oractivity becomes a primary one, the classification of theestablishment is changed to the industry of its new majoractivity. This change is not introduced into the employ-ment estimates at the time it occurs but at the time ofthe benchmark adjustment based on product informationreported annually. Thus, differences between estimatesand benchmarks for an industry may result because theestimates are linked forward from former benchmarklevels which do not reflect intervening classificationchanges for individual establishments.

In addition, in preparation for the conversion to therevised (1972) SIC system, industrial classification ofestablishments in the benchmark tabulations has beenthoroughly reviewed. Correction of previously erroneousclassifications, especially in manufacturing, caused muchof the classification change. Of the 37 published indus-tries with benchmark discrepancies of 5 percent or more,31 are manufacturing industries. At the 2-digit manu-facturing industry level; however, differences are rela-tively small. The benchmarks of 11 of the 21 2-digitindustries differ from their estimates by less than 1 per-cent, 7 differ by 1 to 2 percent, and only 3 differ by2 to 3 percent. (See table 4).
The second reason for differences between estimatesand benchmarks lies in the fact that there is necessarilya certain amount of error in sample-derived estimates.A complete monthly count of employment would reflectall changes in the level from month to month, but com-plete coverage involving several million reports eachmonth would be prohibitively expensive and time con-suming. Derived from a sample of approximately 160,000
establishments, the BLS payroll series provides estimatesat moderate cost within a month following the referenceweek. Annual benchmark revisions, which are an integralpart of the BLS establishment survey program, willremove the effect of these small sampling errors from theestimates. When annual adjustments are not possible, aswas the case for March of 1972, the extent of subsequentrevisions is likely to be somewhat larger.
A third reason for differences between estimates andbenchmarks arises from the method of adjustment usedto take account of the entry of new firms. The bench-mark link-relative employment estimating technique,which is a form of ratio estimation, results in biasedestimates, because this technique cannot measure theemployment of new firms entering the economy duringthe current month. The size of the bias (the influenceof the employment of new firms) is considered negligiblefor most purposes; however, in the BLS establishmentsurvey, for which the previous month's estimate is usedto compute the current month's estimate, such biaswould cumulate if counteracting steps were not taken.

Accordingly, small bias correction factors are appliedto the employment estimates each month. Because thesize of these factors must be determined by past experi-ence, small errors may arise if the rate at which newfirms enter an industry increases or decreases. Errorsin bias correction factors in use since the March 1973benchmark period were insignificant in comparison torevisions caused by the other factors under discussion.
A fourth, generally infrequent, cause of differencesarises from improvements in the quality of the bench-mark data. The most recent example of this type ofrevision occurred at the time of the expansion in un-employment insurance coverage which took place in1972 and was first reflected in the March 1973benchmark.
Benchmark source material
Unemployment insurance records are the primarysource of benchmark data. With the expansion of Ulcoverage in 1972, 97 percent of employees on payrolls ofprivate nonagricultural establishments are now includedin the Ul tabulations. For the few remaining industries
exempt from mandatory Ul coverage, the Bureau ofLabor Statistics used other sources for benchmark infor-mation. Data on employees covered under social securitylaws as published by the Bureau of the Census in CountyBusiness Patterns, were used to augment the Ul datafor nonoffice insurance sales workers and private educa-tional services. Data for interstate railroads were ob-tained from the Interstate Commerce Commission; bench-marks for private elementary and secondary schoolswere derived from data obtained from the U.S. Office ofEducation and the National Catholic Welfare Association.These sources have been used for benchmarking for anumber of years.
Employment figures for religious organizations wereobtained from data provided by the National Council ofChurches and recent surveys of churches conducted byseveral State agencies.
In benchmarking the government sector, the Bureauhas for many years used the monthly employment datacompiled by the U.S. Civil Service Commission (FederalGovernment) and the Censuses and Surveys of Govern-ments conducted by the Bureau of the Census (Stateand local governments). The State and local governmentestimates have been revised to levels based on the Octo-ber 1974 Survey of Governments. However, since about80 percent of State government employees are currentlycovered by unemployment insurance and several Statesare in the process of expanding coverage further, it is ex-pected that Ul contributions data will be used as abenchmark source for the State government portion inthe near future. Since Ul data are available for each
month, the quality of the benchmark data will begreatly improved.
The Bureau's reporting sample is also an importantsource of benchmark information. Since sample reportsare current and are reviewed monthly, reporting errors,detected and corrected in the sample reports, can alsobe corrected in the corresponding benchmark reports.The industry classification of each sample establishmentis reviewed annually on the basis of information suppliedby the employer. Changes in industry classification ofsample reports often precede such changes in othersources of information. Insofar as sample reports wereknown to differ from the corresponding employer'sreports included in other benchmark source material,the data in the other sources were modified accordingly.
Relation of employment benchmarks to hours, earningsand labor turnover series
Benchmarks are not available for the hours and earn-ings and labor turnover series. The levels shown are de-rived from the BLS reporting sample only. For primaryestimating cells, i.e., region and/or size strata withinthe most detailed industry classifications, the series arecomputed directly from reported figures. Series for moreinclusive categories, however, require a weighting mech-anism to yield meaningful averages. The employmentbenchmarks are used as weights in computing the hoursand earnings averages and labor turnover rates for broaderindustry groupings.
Adjustment of the estimates to new benchmarks mayresult in reallocation of weights, which, in turn, maychange the averages. To influence the average of a broadgroup, changes in employment have to be relativelylarge and must affect industries which have substantiallyhigher or lower averages than the other industries intheir group. Generally speaking, the introduction ofnew benchmarks does not change hours and earningsand labor turnover series for broader grouping by morethan 0.1 hour, 1 cent, or 0.1 per 100 employees,respectively. The changes caused by the 1974 bench-mark revision are summarized in table 5.
Revision of seasonally adjusted data
The BLS uses an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving-average method for seasonally adjusting the em-ployment, weekly hours, and hourly earnings series.This method has a provision for "moving" adjustmentfactors to take account of changing seasonal patterns.After another year of data is added to a series, a numberof the factors for the previous few years will changeslightly, even when the unadjusted figures for previousyears remain the same.

The BLS seasonal factor method was designed for
time series with steady or slowly changing seasonal
patterns. It, therefore, does not reflect adequately ab-
rupt shifts in seasonally such as those experienced in
retail trade employment. Special adjustments have been
used for many years in seasonally adjusting this employ-ment series to compensate for the shifting date of Easter.
The Bureau also makes special adjustments in season-
ally adjusting the employment series for the transporta-
tion equipment industry to compensate for the shifting
dates of automobile plant retooling during the summer
months. The Federal Government series is adjusted to
remove the effect of the temporary hiring of postal

workers at Christmas time. Seasonal factors in laborturnover reflect variation in the number of times a dayof the week (Monday, for example) falls in 1 month.To eliminate this calendar irregularity, the Bureau uses"trading day" factors.
Revised historical data published
Revised historical data (both seasonally adjusted andunadjusted) for broad industry categories of employment,hours and earnings, and labor turnover are presented inthe back of this issue of Employment and Earnings.Complete detailed data for all series will be published inEmployment and Earnings, United States, 1909-75 (Bul-letin 1312-10).
Monthly employment estimates are published formost of the significant industries in the nonagriculturalsector. Those industries for which monthly data are notpublished either are too small or are not supported by asufficient sample. However, the March benchmark figuresfor a number of such industries are published in table 6.The expansion in Ul coverage makes it possible to obtainaccurate employment counts for all months (plus quar-terly wages) for those other industries which are notpublished as a regular feature of the Current Employ-ment Statistics Program. These data appear quarterly inthe BLS publication Employment and Wages. (Datain Employment and Wages may differ slightly from thosepublished in Employment and Earnings as the result ofclassification adjustments discussed earlier in this article.)

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 wage 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
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.

ESTABLISHMENT DATA 154
Seasonal Factors
The following tables present seasonal adjustment factors for all series in the establishment section of this periodical. These factors were derived using data through June 1975. The factorsshould be used with current estimates (adjusted to the March 1974 benchmarks) beginning July 1975 for all series shown in the following tables except those that relate to labor turnover (table K).
The seasonal movements are measured in order to adjust the data statistically for such recurring events as warm and cold weather, crop-growing cycles, holidays, vacations, regular industrymodel changeover periods, and the like. These movements are generally the largest single component of month-to-month changes in employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover. The sea-sonal factors which fol low enable the analyst to remove these influences from the data in order to determine more basic trends.

Introduction
The statistics in this periodical are compiled from tnree 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, color, marital status, occupa-tions, hours of work, and duration of unemployment. Thesurvey 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 andindependent cities, with coverage in 50 States and the District ofColumbia. The data collected are based on the activity or statusreported for 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 turn-over for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The em-ployment, hours, and earnings series are based on payrollreports from a sample of establishments employing over30 million nonagricultural wage and salary workers. Thedata relate to all workers, full- or part-time, who receivedpay during the payroll period which includes the 12th ofthe month. Based on a somewhat smaller sample, laborturnover data relate to actions occurring during the entiremonth.
Data based on administrative records of unemploymentinsurance systems furnish a complete count of insuredunemployment among the three-fourths of the Nation's laborforce covered by unemployment insurance programs. Weeklyreports, by State, are issued on the number of initial claims, thevolume, and rate of insured unemployment under Stateunemployment insurance programs, and the volume underprograms of unemployment compensation for Federal employees,ex-Armed Forces personnel, and railroad workers. These statisticsare published by the Manpower Administration, U.S. Departmentof Labor, in "Unemployment Insurance Claims."
RELATION BETWEEN THE HOUSEHOLD ANDESTABLISHMENT SERIES
The household and establishment data supplement oneanother, each providing significant types of information that theother cannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, forexample, are readily obtained only from the household survey
whereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably denveconly 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 fordiscrepancies. 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 bothagricultural and nonagricultural industries is included. Thepayroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on thepayrolls of nonagricultural establishments.
Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides informa-tion on the work status of the population without duplicationsince 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 jobbut not at work are excluded from the hours distributions andthe computations of average hours. In the payroll survey,employees on paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave areincluded and assigned the number of hours for which they werepaid during the reporting period.
COMPARABILITY OF THE HOUSEHOLD•DATA WITH OTHER SERIES
Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from thehousehold survey includes all persons who did not have a job atall during the survey 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 Manpower Administration of theDepartment of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted theirbenefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights tounemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered byunemployment insurance systems (agriculture, some State andlocal government, domestic service, self-employment, unpaidfamily 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 worked 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 EMPLOYMENTDATA 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 theemployed, 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 31 3. 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 fieldinterviewing 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 designated for
interview. About 1,700 of these households are visited but
interviews are not obtained because the occupants are not found
at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other reasons.
This represents a noninterview rate for the survey of about 4
percent. In addition to the 47,000 occupied units, there are
7,500 sample units in an average month which are visited but
found to be vacant or otherwise not to be enumerated. Part of
the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan provides
for three-fourths of the sample to be common from 1 month to
the next, and one-half to be common with the same month a
year ago.
CONCEPTS
Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during the
survey week did any work at all as paid employees, in their own
business, profession, or farm, or who worked 15 hours or more
as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by a member of the
family, and (b) all those who were not working but who had jobs
or businesses from which they were temporarily absent because
of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, or
personal reasons, whether or not they were paid by their
employers for the time off, and whether or not they were
seeking other jobs.
Each employed person is counted only once. Those who held
more than one job are counted in the job at which they worked
the greatest number of hours during the survey week.
Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign
countries, temporarily in the United States, who are not living
on the premises of an Embassy.
Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work
around the house (such as own home housework, and painting or
repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, charitable,
and similar organizations.
Unemployed persons comprise all persons who did not work
during the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a job
within the past 4 weeks, and who were available for work during
the survey week (except for temporary illness). Also included as
unemployed are those who did not work at all, were available for
work, and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from which
they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a new
wage 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 the
number of full weeks since the termination of their most recent
employment. A period of 2 weeks or more during which a
person was employed or ceased looking for work is considered to
break the continuity of the present period of seeking work.
Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a
distribution by single weeks of unemployment.
Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment are
divided into four major groups. (1) Job losers are persons whose
employment ended involuntarily who immediately began
looking for work and persons on layoff. (2) Job leavers are
persons who quit or otherwise terminated their employment
voluntarily and immediately began looking for work.
(3) Reentrants are persons who previously worked at a full-time
job lasting 2 weeks or longer but who were out of the labor force
prior to beginning to look for work. (4) New entrants are
persons who never worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks or
longer.
Jobseekers are all unemployed persons who made specific
efforts to find a job, sometime during the 4-week period
preceding the survey week. Jobseekers do not include persons
unemployed because they (a) were waiting to be called back to a
job from which they had been laid off or (b) were waiting to
report to a new wage or salary job within 30 days. Jobseekers are
grouped by the methods used to seek work, including going to a
public or private employment agency or to an employer directly,
seeking assistance from friends or relatives, placing or answering
ads, 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 waiting
at a designated pick-up point.
The civilian labor force comprises the total of all civilians
classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the
criteria described above. The "total labor force" also includes
members of the Armed Forces stationed either in the United
States or abroad.
The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed
as a percent of the civilian labor force. This measure can also be
computed for groups within the labor force classified by sex,
age, marital status, color, etc. The job-loser, job-leaver, reentrant,
and new entrant rates are each calculated as a percent of the
civilian labor force; the sum of the rates for the four groups thus
equals the total unemployment rate.
Participation rates represent the proportion of the non-
mstitutional population that is in the labor force. Two types of
participation rates are published. The total labor force participa-
tion rate, which is the ratio of the total labor force and the total
noninstitutional population; and the civilian labor force
participation rate, which is the ratio of the civilian labor force
and the civilian noninstitutional population. Participation rates
are usually published for sex-age groups, often cross-classified by
other demographic characteristics such as color and educational
attainment.
Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 years and over who
are not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons are
further classified as "engaged in own home housework," "in
school," "unable to work" because of long-term physical or
mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includes for the
most part retired persons, those reported as too old to work, the
voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the survey week
fell jn an "off" season and who were not reported as
unemployed. 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 work
experience, intentions to seek work again, desire for a job at the
time of interview, and reasons for not looking for work are
compiled on a quarterly basis. As of January 1970, the detailed
questions for persons not in the labor force are asked only in
those households that are in the fourth and eighth months of the
sample, i.e., the "outgoing" groups, those which had been in the
sample for 3 previous months and would net be in for the
subsequent month. Between 1967 and 1969, the detailed
not-in-labor force questions were asked of persons in the first
and fifth months in the sample, i.e., the "incoming" groups.
Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the employed
apply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two or
more jobs are classified in the job at which they worked the
greatest number of hours during the survey week. The
unemployed are classified according to their latest full-time
civilian job lasting 2 weeks or more. The occupation and
industry groups used in data derived from the CPS household
interviews are defined as in the 1970 Census of Population.

Information on the detailed categories included in these groupsis available upon request.
The class-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 in 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 all 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 fornoneconomic reasons and usually work full time.
Full- and part-time labor 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-employment persons looking for full-time work lost an averageof 37.5 hours, (2) that 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.
White and Negro and other races are terms used to describethe color or race of workers. The Negro and other races
category, which in the past had been identified as "nonwhite,"includes all persons who are observed in the enumeration processto be other than white. At the time of the 1970 Census ofPopulation, 89 percent of the Negro and other races populationgroup were Negro; the remainder were American Indians,Eskimos, Orientals, and other nonwhite. Tables in this volumewhich contain these data utilize the word "color" to so indicate.The term "Negro" is used in tables when the relevant data areprovided for Negroes exclusively.
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 98 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-6 for 16-21 year-olds by employment status, color,sex, and, if unemployed, whether seeking full- or part-time work.
Household head. One person in each household is designated asthe head. The head is usually the person regarded as the head bythe members of the group. If a husband and wife family occupythe unit, the husband is designated as the head. The number ofheads, therefore, is equal to the number of households.
Vietnam-era veterans are those who served in the ArmedForces of the United States after August 4, 1964. Tables forveterans in this volume are limited to males in the civiliannoninstitutional population; i.e., veterans in institutions andfemales 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 only persons who were currentlyavailable for work and who had engaged in some specificjobseeking 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 those who were looking for otherjobs; previously, these persons had been classified asunemployed; (3) sharpening the questions on hours of work,

duration of unemployment, and self-employment in order toincrease 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 Unemployment" 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 m 1967, the tabor 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 relativeunaffected; (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 nonagncultural 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 nonmstitutional 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 Negro and other races groups but hadlittle effect on totals. The adjustment resulted in the reductionof nearly 300,000 m the white population and an increase of thesame magnitude in the Negro and other races populationCivilian labor force and total employment figures were affectedto a lesser degree; the white labor force was reduced by 150,000,and the Negro and other races labor force rose by about210,000. Unemployment levels and rates were not affectedsignificantly.
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 Negro and other races—but had little effecton 16 and over totals. Additional information on the adjustmentprocedure appears in "CPS Population Controls Derived fromInflation-Deflation Method of Estimation" in the February 1974issue of Employment and Earnings.
Effective July 1975, as a result of the immigration of Viet-namese refugees into the United States, the total and Negro-and-other races independent population controls for persons 16years and over were adjusted upward by 76,000—30,000 malesand 46,000 females. The addition of the refugees increasedthe Negro-and-other-races population by less than 1 percent
in any age-sex group, and all of the changes were in the "otherraces" 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 ofoccupational 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 be made between 1972 and earlier periods. However,revisions in the occupational classification system as well as inthe CPS questionnaire are believed to have had but a negligibleimpact on unemployment rates.
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 estimation methods used in the CPS, all of theresults for a given month become available simultaneously andare based on returns from the entire panel of respondents. 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, orunavailability of the respondent for other reasons. This adjust-ment is made separately by combinations of sample areas and,wtthtn these, for six groups-two race categories (white, and
162
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
Negro and other races) within three residence categories. Forsample areas which are standard metropolitan statistical areas(SMSA's), these residence categories are the central cities, andthe urban and 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, color, 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 color-residence distribution of the population. Thisstep takes into account the differences existing at the time of the1970 Census between the color-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 color. 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 color (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 color. The actual 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 also.
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 werepossible 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 2
out 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.

all'such characteristics. They should be interpreted as providingan indication of the order of magnitude of the standard errorsrather than as the precise standard error for any specific item.
The standard erro** of the change in an item from one monthto the next month is more closely related to the standard errorof 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 wnich 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 themonthly 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 percentages derived from the survey. Linear interpolationmay be used for percentages and base figures not shown intable D. As a general rule, percentages will not be publishedwhen the monthly base is less than 75,000 or the annual base isless than 35,000. Table E shows the standard error of percentageof monthly levels and consecutive month change for frequentlyanalyzed unemployment rate series. These errors are computedfrom data for recent months. Errors on change for nonconsecu-tive months are slightly greater (by roughly a factor of 1.1 timesthe 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. Theseschedules 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 includedunder 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 of the Budget,1967.
Industry employment
Employment data, except those for the Federal Government,refer 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 civilianemployees; 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 aids, teachers,drafters, 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 for
165
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
any 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 12th 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 earningsaverages. Averages for groups and divisions further reflectchanges in 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 amounts 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
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
This 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 I I , 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 I 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 for, reducedto a weekly basis, by the number of employees, as definedabove. Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multiplyingaverage weekly hours by average hourly earnings.
Spendable average weekly earnings
Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars areobtained by deducting estimated Federal social security andincome taxes from average weekly earnings. The amount of
166
Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
income tax liability depends on the number of dependentssupported by the worker and his marital status, as well as on thelevei of his gross income. To reflect these variables, spendableearnings 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 ail 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 from the Bureauof 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 at1 Va 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 onnonagricultural payroll
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-tires and three-digit manufacturing industries) covering all non-agricultural payroll employment in the private sector. A more
detailed discussion of these indexes appears in "Introduction ofDiffusion Indexes," in the December, 1974 issue of Employmentand Earnings.
Labor turnover
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 byemployees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorizedabsences, if on the last day of the month the person has'beenabsent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.
Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or 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 METHODSThe principal features of the procedure used to estimate
employment 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.
The "link relative" technique
From a sample composed of establishments reporting forboth the previous and current months, the ratio of current
month 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 THE SAMPLE
A number of industries are stratified by size of establishmentand/or by region, and the stratified production- ornonsupervisory-worker data are used to weight the hours andearnings 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. Benchmarks 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 shown in table G.

2-year revision.
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.
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 ceilson the basis ot 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 each 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 empirically 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 present 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. Thecoverage for individual industries within the division may vary

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 adjusted
annually 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 detailedndustry levels, particularly within manufacturing, changes in
classification are the major cause of benchmark adjustments.An jther 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-marl- Lev/els, in the December 1974 issue.) Table J presentsthe average percent revisions of the six most recent bench-marks (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
Table L. Errors of preliminary employment estimates
(RMSE - /(Standard Deviation)2 + (Bias)2 ).
If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an
estimate from the sample would differ from its benchmark by
less than the root-mean-square error. The chances are about 19
out of 20 that the difference would be less than twice the
root-mean-square error.
Approximations of the root-mean-square errors (based on the
experience of the last 6 years) of differences between final
estimates 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 anational 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 data of availability ofeach series) in a summary volume published annually by theBLS.
Unemployment insurance data(E tables)
Insured unemployment represents the number of personsreporting a week of unemployment under an unemploymentinsurance program. Ic 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, unpaid
family 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 isthe number of insured unemployed expressed as a percent of

average 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 under
which 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 limitation of unemploymentinsurance data should address their inquiries to ManpowerAdministration, 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.However, 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 It Seasonal Ad-justment Program, Technical Paper No. 15, Bureau of theCensus (1967).
Data for the household series are seasonally adjusted by theCensus X-11 Method. For each of the three major labor forcecomponents—agricultural employment, nonagricultural employ-ment, and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (maleand female workers, 16-19 years and 20 years and over) areseparately adjusted for seasonal variation and then added togive seasonally adjusted total figures. In order to produce sea-sonally adjusted total employment and civilian labor force data,the appropriate series are aggregated. The seasonally adjustedrate of unemployment for all civilian workers is derived bydividing the figure for total unemployment (the sum of fourseasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for thecivilian labor force (the sum of 12 seasonally adjusted age-sexcomponents). Other series, such as unemployment by duration oremployment by major occupational groups, are independentlyadjusted.
The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current dataare based on a pattern shown by past experience. Once eachyear (in January), these factors are revised in the light of theprevious years' experience. Revised seasonally adjusted seriesfor major components of the labor force based on data throughDecember 1974, plus a short description of the methodology,
are published in the February 1975 Employment and Earnings.Many additional series, which are either components or aggregatesof the series presented, are available from 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 onlysignificant 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 1711.
