EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENTHIGHLIGHTS July I960

THE MONTHLY REPORT ON THE LABOR FORCE: JULY I960

Changes in employment and unemployment were on the whole seasonalbetween June and July. However, employment in construction picked up morethan seasonally and there were continued job cutbacks in the steel industry.

Unemployment dropped by 400, 000 over the month to 4. 0 million in July.The reduction was about usual for this period and the seasonally adjusted rateof unemployment of 5. 4 percent was not significantly different from the 5. 5-percent rate of the month before. Unemployment among teenagers droppedsharply as many of the youngsters who sought work in June found jobs by July.Unemployment among adults, however, rose moderately for the second monthwith job cuts in durable goods industries, mainly autos and steel. State insuredunemployment, which does not include new entrants into the job market, rose bynearly 150, 000 from mid-June to 1. 7 million in mid-July. This increase wassomewhat more than seasonal.

The number of persons unemployed 15 weeks or longer was unchanged overthe month at 800, 000 and was about the same as a year ago.

Total employment, at 68. 7 million, continued at a record high, but wasnot substantially changed from June. Total nonagricultural employment, includ-ing the self-employed, domestics, and unpaid family workers, was 61. 8 millionin July, also approximately the same as a month earlier. At the same time, thenumber of workers on nonfarm payrolls dropped by 365, 000 over the month to 53. 2million largely as a result of vacation-taking by workers who did not receive payfor the period and were therefore not included in the payroll count. (The figureon total nonagricultural employment based on the household survey includesworkers on vacation from a job whether or not they are paid.)

Nonfarm Payroll Employment

The July decline in nonfarm payroll employment was about usual for thistime of year, although there were contrasting developments in several industries.Employment in the construction industry rose by 120, 000 over the month, acomparatively large June to July increase. On the other hand, durable goodsindustries reported a drop of 170, 000 jobs.

There was a cutback of 40, 000 workers in the primary metals industry—the fifth successive monthly decline. The contraction in steel operations alsobrought job reductions in some other industries. Mining employment droppedmore than seasonally as some coal mines which observed their customaryvacation closedown around the end of June did not reopen in mid-July for lackof demand from steel mills. In addition, transportation employment (both inrailroads and in trucking) dropped off by 25, 000*partly as a result of these develop-ments.

Automobile employment also fell in July, in part because manufacturersstarted to trim auto inventories in anticipation of an early model changeover. Inaddition, operations at some plants were hindered by material shortages result-ing from a strike at a supplier plant.

Declines in a number of manufacturing industries reflected vacation^taking without pay by some workers. However, chiefly because of the developmentsin steel and autos, the 160, 000 reduction in all factory jobs between June and Julyto 16. 3 million was greater than usual.

Beginning in January 1960 data include Alaska and Hawaii


Other employment changes were mainly connected with the season. Thelargest change, a drop of 270,000 government employees, was due mainly tothe reduction in school system employment during the summer recess.

Over the year, employment was up in State and local governments(300,000), wholesale and retail trade (260,000), service (120,000), and fi-nance (50,000). Manufacturing employment, however, was down by 160,000(mainly in steel and aircraft); mining, and transportation and public utilitieswere down by 50,000 and 20,000 respectively.

Factory Hours and Earnings

The factory workweek dipped by 0, 2 hours to 39. 8 hours in July. Thedecline was about normal for this period, and the seasonally adjusted level con-sequently showed no change. (See table C-5.) The transportation equipment indus-try reported one of the larger declines (0.6 hours), the result of a drop inauto production. An increase of 0. 3 hours in the primary metals industry didnot reflect a longer workweek, since many workers previously on short timewere on vacations and were paid for 40 hours.

As a result of the decline in the factory workweek, earnings of produc-tion workers edged off by 46 cents over the month to $91. 14 per week. Hourlyearnings remained unchanged at $2. 29.

Weekly earnings were $1.49 higher than a year ago, reflecting a 6-centrise in hourly earnings over the year. The workweek, however, was 0. 4 hoursless.

Total Labor Force

The total labor force, including the Armed Forces as well as all civil-ian workers, dipped by 300,000 over the month to 75.2 million in July. All ofthe reduction occurred among adult women, a group which usually declinesslightly at this time of year when teachers leave the labor force for the sum-mer. (Only those with contracts to return to work in the fall are counted asemployed. ) In most years, there are also reductions among women in thefarm work force in July, but farm operations have been delayed this year be-cause of bad weather in early spring.

The number of teenagers in the labor force (8-1/4 million) was virtuallyunchanged over the month, in contrast to a seasonally expected increase ofabout 400,000. This year, partly because of the lateness of the June surveyweek, much of the labor force increase expected among school-age youngstersin July had already been reflected in the June figures.

For the last 4 months, the labor force has shown an average growthof about 1 million from the corresponding 1959 levels. (This comparisonallows for the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii in this year1 s figures. ) DuringI960, this growth has been rather uneven, and in the 1st quarter the gain from1959 averaged only about 300,000.

Total and part-time employment

Total employment was virtually unchanged over the month at 68. 7million, after reaching an all-time record level in June. Both farm and non-farm employment were about stable at 6.9 million and 61.8 million respec-tively. About 600,000 additional teenagers were employed in nonfarm jobs inJuly. At the same time, there was a reduction of an almost equal number ofadult workers--mostly school employees but also some men from hard goodsmanufacturing industries.

Beginning in January 1960. data include Alaska and Hawaii.


Nonfarm employment continued at an all-time record in July, 800, 000above a year earlier. All of the growth over the year was recorded among women,Farm employment was as high as a year ago, but there had been a further drop ofabout 200, 000 in the number of farm self-employed.

As usual, the number of nonfarm employees on vacation reached a peakin July, rising by more than 3 million over the month to about 5-1/2 million.The great majority of these workers—over 80 percent—were paid by theiremployers for all or part of the time off. The proportion on paid vacations wasabout the same as in July 1959. Altogether, there were about 1 million employeeson unpaid vacations in July, up sharply from June, but only slightly higher thanin July 1959.

The number of regular full-time workers on part time because of slackwork and other economic factors (including the start of new jobs during thesurvey week) was 1.1 million in July as compared with 1. 4 million in June and900, 000 a year ago. Since April, this total on reduced workweeks because ofeconomic reasons has| averaged higher than in 1959; most of the increase hasbeen among factory workers. In the spring and early summer of 1959, whendurable goods production was being accelerated in anticipation of the steel strike,there was less part time and more overtime.

Characteristics of the Unemployed

Duration of Unemployment. The number unemployed less than 5 weeks(representing new spells of unemployment) fell sharply in July, dropping by800, 000 from its unusually high June level to 1. 9 million. After allowance forseasonal changes, the number of short-term unemployed was about the same inJuly as in May and in most other months this year.

On the other hand, the number unemployed 5 to 10 weeks rose by 350, 000in July. This increase was greater than usual, reflecting the especially largeinflux of new jobseekers in June and ttie inability of some to find jobs withina month. Long-term unemployment (15 weeks\and over) remained unchanged overthe month at 800, 000, and was about the same as a year ago.

Age, Sex, and Marital Status. Unemployment among teenagers fell sharplyby 550, 000 to 1. 0 million, following the abnormally large increase in June. Theseyoung persons accounted for onerthird of the unemployed in June but only one-Eourth in July. Teenagers entering the labor force this summer appear to befinding jobs at about the same rate as a year ago. About 13 percent of those inthe labor market were unemployed in July I960, the same proportion as inJuly 1959.

On a seasonally adjusted basis, the number of unemployed teenagers inJuly was slightly below the number in May before their unusually large influxinto the labor market began. On the other hand, the number of unemployed menand women 20 and over has risen moderately over the last 2 months whereaslittle change is normally expected for this time of year.(See chart on page vi.)As in June, the unemployment rate among married men was slightly higher thana year earlier.

Industry Attachment of Last Job. Most of the 400,000 drop in unemploy-ment occurred among young job-seekers with no previous work experience.These new workers number 650, 00O among the unemployed in July, as comparedwith 1 million a month ago. Unemployment also declined among young workerswhose previous job experience was in trade or service. At the same time, thenumber of unemployed factory workers edged up over the month, largely as aresult of cutbacks in steel and autos.

Unemployed new workers totaled about the same as a year earlier. Theunemployment rate was slightly higher than a year earlier among experiencedworkers, but was substantially higher for hard-goods manufacturing workers.Within that sector, the unemployment rate in the primary metals industry wastwice as high as a year ago, after having doubled over the last 2 months.

*Data for 1947-56 adjusted to reflect changes in the definition of employment and unemployment adopted in January 1957. Twojroups averaging about one-quarter million workers which were formerly classified as employed (with a job but not at work)—those onemporary layoff and those waiting to start new wage and salary jobs within 30 days—were assigned to different classifications,ostly to the unemployed. Data by sex, shown in table A-2, were adjusted for the years 1948-56.2Not available.3Beginning 1953, labor force and employment figures are not strictly comparable with previous years as a result of the introduc-ion of material from the 1950 Census into the estimating procedure. Population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force,otal employment, and agricultural employment by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for total and males. Other catego-ies were relatively unaffected.

4Data for 1960 include•Alaska and Hawaii and are therefore not strictly comparable with previous years. This inclusion has re-sulted in an increase of about half a million in the noninstitutional population 14 years of age and over, and about 300,000 in the.abor force, four-fifths of this in nonagricultural employment. The levels of other labor force categories were not appreciablychanged.

Explanatory Notes

Additional information concerning the preparation of the

labor force, employment, hours and earnings, and labor

turnover series--concepts and scope, survey methods, and

limitations—is contained in technical notes for each of

these series, available from the Bureau of Labor Statis-

INTRODUCTION

The statistics in this periodical are compiled fromtvo major sources: (1) household interviews and (2) payrollreports from employers.

Data based on household Interviews are obtained froma sample survey of the population. The survey is conductedeach month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of LaborStatistics and provides a comprehensive measure of the laborforce, i.e., the total number of persons Ik years of age andover who are employed or unemployed. It also provides data ontheir personal and economic characteristics such as age, sex,color, marital status, occupations, hours of work, and durationof unemployment. The information is collected by trained inter-viewers from a sample of about 35,000 households in 330 areasthroughout the country and is based on the activity or statusreported for the calendar veek ending nearest the 15th of themonth.

Data based on establishment payroll records are com-piled each month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau ofLabor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The pay-roll survey provides detailed industry information on nonagri-cultural wage and salary employment, average veekly hours,average hourly and veekly earnings, and labor turnover for theNation, States, and metropolitan areas.

The figures are based on payroll reports from asample of 180,000 establishments employing about 25 millionnonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to allworkers, full- or part-time, who received pay during the pay-roll period ending nearest the 15th of the month.

Relation between the household and payroll series

The household and payroll data supplement one another,each providing significant types of information that the othercannot suitably supply. Population characteristics, forexample, are readily obtained only from the household surveywhereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably de-rived only from establishment reports.

Data from these two sources differ from each otherbecause of differences in definition and coverage, sources ofinformation, methods of collection, and estimating procedures.Sampling variability and response errors are additional reasonsfor discrepancies. The factors which have a differential effecton levels and trends of the two series are described below:

Employment

Coverage. The household survey definitionof employment comprises wage and salary workers (including do-mestics and other private household workers), self-employedpersons, and unpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more duringthe survey week in family-operated enterprises. Employment inboth farm and nonfarm industries is included. The payroll sur-vey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls ofnonfarm establishments.

Multiple jobholding. The household approachprovides information on the work status of the population with-out duplication since each person is classified as employed, un-employed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons holdingmore than one job are counted only once, and are classified ac-cording to the job at which they worked the greatest number of

hours during the survey week. In the figures based on estab-lishment records, persons who worked in more than one estab-lishment during the reporting period are counted each timetheir names appear on payrolls.

Unpaid absences from Jobs* The householdsurvey includes among the employed all persons who had jobs butwere not at work during the I survey week—that is, were notworking or looking for work but had jobs from which they weretemporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation,labor-management dispute, or because they were taking time offfor various other reasons, whether or not they were paid bytheir employers for the time off. In the figures based on pay-roll reports, persons on paid sick leave, paid vacation, orpaid holiday are Included, but not those on leave without payfor the entire payroll period.

Hours of Work

The household survey measures hours actually workedwhereas the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers.In the household survey data, all persons with a job but not atwork are excluded from the hours distributions and the computa-tions of average hours. In the payroll survey, employees onpaid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are includedand assigned the number of hours for which they were paidduring the reporting period.

Comparability of the household interview data with other series

Unemployment Insurance data. The unemployed totalfrom the household survey includes all persons who did not workat all during the survey week and twere looking for work or werewaiting to be called back to a job from which they had beenlaid off, regardless of whether or not they were eligible forunemployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insuranceclaims, prepared by the Bureau of Employment Security of theDepartment of Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted theirbenefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unem-ployment insurance, and persons losing Jobs not covered by un-employment insurance systems (agriculture, State and localgovernment, domestic service, self-employed, unpaid family work,nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).

In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemploy-ment compensation differ from the definition of unemploymentused in the household survey. For example, persons with a jobbut not at work and persons working only a few hours during theweek are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation, butare classified as employed rather than unemployed in the house-hold survey.

Agricultural employment estimates of the Department ofAgriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the in-clusion of persons under Ik in the Agricultural MarketingService (AMS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders whoare counted more than once if they worked on more than one farmduring the reporting period. There are also wide differences insampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods, whichcannot be readily measured in terms of impact on differences inlevel and trend of the two series.

Comparability of the payroll employment data with other series

Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau ofthe Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment differfrom employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from

1-E


its censuses or annual sanple surveys of manufacturing estab-lishments and the censuses of business establishments. The Ma-jor reason for lack of comparability is different treatment ofbusiness units considered parts of an establishment, such ascentral administrative offices and auxiliary units, and in theindustrial classification of establishments due to differentreporting patterns by multi-unit companies. There are also dif-ferences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., theCensus of Business excludes professional services, transporta-tion companies, and financial establishments, while these areincluded in BLS statistics.

County Business Patterns. Data in County BusinessPatterns, published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerceand Health, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establish-ment statistics in the units considered integral parts of anestablishment and in industrial classification. In addition,CBP data exclude employment in nonprofit institutions, inter-state railroads, and government.

Employment covered by Unemployment Insurance programs.Not all nonfarm vage and salary workers are covered by the Unem-ployment Insurance programs. All vorkers in certain activities,such as nonprofit organizations and interstate railroads, areexcluded. In addition, small firms in covered industries arealso excluded in 3^ States. In general, these are establish-ments with less than four employees.

LABOR FORCE DATACOLLECTION AND COVERAGE

Statistics on the employment status of the population,the personal, occupational, and other economic characteristicsof employed and unemployed persons, and related labor force dataare compiled for the BLS by the Bureau of the Census in itsCurrent Population Survey (CPS). (A detailed description ofthis survey appears in Concepts and Methods Used in the CurrentEmployment and Unemployment Statistics Prepared by the Bureau ofthe Census, U. S. Bureau of the Census, Current PopulationReports, Series P-23, No. 5. This report is available from BLSon request.)

These monthly surveys of the population are conductedwith a scientifically selected sample designed to represent thecivilian noninstitutional population Ik years and over. Re-spondents are interviewed to obtain information about the em-ployment status of each member of the household Ik years of ageand over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during thecalendar week, Sunday through Saturday, ending nearest the 15thof the month. This is known as the survey week. Actual fieldinterviewing is conducted in the following week.

Inmates of institutions and persons under Ik years ofage are not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and areexcluded from the population and labor force statistics shown inthis report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who are in-cluded as part of the categories "total noninstitutional popu-lation" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Depart-ment of Defense.

The sample for CPS is spread over 333 areas compris-ing 6kl counties and independent cities, with coverage in 50States and the District of Columbia. At present, completed in-terviews are obtained each month from about 35*000 households.There are about 1,500 additional sample households from whichinformation should be collected but is not because the occu-pants are not found at home after repeated calls, are temporar-ily absent, or are unavailable for other reasons. This repre-sents a noninterview rate for the survey of about k percent.Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation planprovides for approximately three-fourths of the sample to becommon from one month to the next, and one-half to be commonwith the same month a year ago.

CONCEPTS

Employed Persons comprise (a) all those who duringthe survey week did any work at all either as paid employees, orin their own business or profession, or on their own farm, orwho worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers on a farm or in abusiness operated by a member of the family, and (b) all thosewho were not working or looking for work but who had Jobs orbusinesses from which they were temporarily absent because ofillness, bad weather, vacation, or labor-management dispute, orbecause they were taking time off for various other reasons,whether or not they were paid by their employers for the time off.

Each employed person is counted only once. Those whoheld more than one job are counted in the job at which theyworked the greatest number of hours during the survey week.

Included in the total are employed citizens of for-eign countries, temporarily in the United States, who are notliving on the premises of an Embassy (e.g., Mexican migratoryfarm workers).

Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted ofwork around the house (such as own home housework, and paintingor repairing own home) or volunteer work for religious, chari-table, and similar organizations.

Unemployed Persons comprise all persons who did notwork at all during the survey week and were looking for work,regardless of whether or not they were eligible for unemploy-ment insurance. Also included as unemployed are those who didnot work at all and (a) were waiting to be called back to a jobfrom which they had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to re-port to a new wage or salary job within 30 days (and were notin school during the survey week); or (c) would have been look-ing for work except that they were temporarily ill or believedno work was available in their line of work or in the community.Persons in this latter category yill usually be residents of acommunity in which there are only a few dominant industrieswhich were shut down during the survey week. Not included inthis category are persons who say they were not looking for workbecause they were too old, too young, or handicapped in any way.

The Unemployment Rate represents the number unemployedas a percent of the civilian labor force, i.e., the sum of theemployed and unemployed. This measure can also be computed forgroups within the labor force classified by sex, age, maritalstatus, color, etc. When applied to industry and occupationgroups, the labor-force base for the unemployment rate also rep-resents the sum of the employed and the unemployed, the latterclassified according to industry and occupation of their latestfull-time civilian Job.

Duration of Unemployment represents the length of time(through the current survey week) during which persons classi-fied as unemployed had been continuously looking for work orwould have been looking for work except for temporary illness,or belief that no work was available in their line of work or inthe community. For persons on layoff, duration of unemploymentrepresents the number of full weeks since the termination oftheir most recent employment. Average duration is an arithmeticmean computed from a distribution by single weeks of unemployment.

The Civilian Labor Force comprises the total of allcivilians classified as employed or unemployed in accordancewith the criteria described above. The "total labor force" alsoincludes members of the Armed Forces stationed either in theUnited States or abroad.

Not in Labor Force includes all civilians Ik years andover who are not classified as employed or unemployed. Thesepersons are further classified as "engaged in own home house-work," "in school," "unable to work" because of long-term physi-cal or mental illness, and "other." The "other" group includesfor the most part retired persons, those reported as too old towork, the voluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom thesurvey week fell in an "off" season and who were not reported asunemployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work(less than 15 hours) are also classified as not in the laborforce.

Occupation, Industry, and Class of Worker apply to thejob held in the survey week. Persons with two or more jobs areclassified in the job at which they worked the greatest numberof hours during the survey week. The occupation and Industrygroups used in data derived from the CPS household interviewsare defined as in the 1950 Census of Population. Information onthe detailed categories included in these groups is availableupon request.

The industrial classification system used in the Censusof Population and the Current Population Survey differs somewhatfrom that used by the BLS in its reports on employment, by indus-try. Employment levels by industry from the household survey,although useful for many analytical purposes, are not publishedin order to avoid public misunderstanding since they differ fromthe payroll series because of differences in classification,sampling variability, and other reasons. The industry figuresfrom the household! survey are used as a base for publisheddistributions on hours of work, unemployment rates, and other

2-E


characteristics of industry groups such as age, sex, andoccupation.

The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage andsalary workers," subdivided into private and government workers,"self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage andsalary workers receive wages, salary, comlssion, tips, or payin kind frost a private employer or from a governmental unit.Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees intheir own business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.Unpaid family workers are persons working without pay for 15hours a week or More on a farm or in a business operated by amember of the household to whom they are related by blood ormarriage.

Hours of Work statistics relate to the actual numberof hours worked during the survey week. For example, a personwho normally works kQ hours a week but who was off on theTeterans Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours eventhough he was paid for the holiday.

For persons working in more than one job, the figuresrelate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during theweek. However, all the hours are credited to the major Job.

Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the surveyweek are designated as working "full time"; persons who workedbetween 1 and 34 hours are designated as working "part time."Part-time workers are classified by their usual status at theirpresent job (either full time or part time) and by their reasonfor working part time during the survey week (economic or otherreasons). "Economic reasons" include: Slack work, materialshortages, repairs to plant or equipment, start or terminationof job during the week, and inability to find full-time work."Other reasons" include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own ill-ness, vacation, demands of home housework, school, no desire forfull-time work and full-time worker only during peak season.

ESTIMATING METHODS

The estimating procedure is essentially one of usingsample results to obtain percentages of the population in agiven category. The published estimates are then obtained bymultiplying these percentage distributions by Independent esti-mates of the population. The principle steps involved are shownbelow. Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of theresults for a given month become available simultaneously andare based on returns from the entire panel of respondents.There are no subsequent adjustments to independent benchmarkdata on labor force, employment, or unemployment. Therefore, re-visions of the historical data are not an Inherent feature ofthis statistical program.

1. Wonlnterview adjustment. The weights for all in-terviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed toaccount for occupied sample households for which no informationwas obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, orunavailability for other reasons. This adjustment is made sepa-rately by groups of sample areas and, within these, for sixgroups—color (white and nonwhite) within the three residencecategories (urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm). The propor-tion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3 to 5percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.

2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the popula-tion selected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance,from that of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics asage, color, sex, and residence. Since these population charac-teristics are closely correlated with labor force participationand other principal measurements made from the sample, thelatter estimates can be substantially improved when weightedappropriately by the known distribution of these populationcharacteristics. This is accomplished through two stages ofratio estimates as follows:

a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is the pro-cedure in which the sample proportions are weighted by theknown 1950 Census data on the color-residence distribution ofthe population. This step takes into account the differencesexisting at the time of the 1950 Census between the color-residence distribution for the Ration and for the sample areas.

b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this step,the sample proportions are weighted by independent current esti-mates of the population by age, sex, and color. These estimatesare prepared by carrying forward the most recent census data(1950) to take account of subsequent aging of the population,

mortality, and migration between the United States and othercountries.

3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving sta-tistics for a given month, a composite estimating procedure isused which takes account of net changes from the previous monthfor continuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as thesample results for the current month. This procedure reducesthe sampling variability especially of month-to-month changesbut also of the levels for most items.

Seasonal Adjustment

The seasonal adjustment method used for unemploymentand other labor force series is a new adaptation of the standardratio-to-moving average method, with a provision for "moving"adjustment factors to take account of changing seasonal pat-terns. A detailed description and illustration of the methodwill be published later this year.

Seasonal adjustment factors for major components ofthe labor force to be applied to data for 1958 and laterperiods are shown in table A. Factors for broad age-sex groupsand for duration of unemployment categories will be included inthe publication cited in the preceding paragraph. In computingthese factors, the pre-1957 data were adjusted to reflect thenew definitions of employment and unemployment adopted inJanuary 1957. Seasonally adjusted aggregates for these seriesfor 19^7 to date are available on request.

In evaluating deviations from the seasonal pattern--that is, changes in a seasonally adjusted series--it is impor-tant to note that seasonal adjustment is merely an approxima-tion based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimateshave a broader margin of possible error than the original dataon which they are based, since they are subject not only tosampling and other errors but, in addition, are affected by theuncertainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself.

Reliability of the Estimates

Since the estimates are based on a sample, they maydiffer from the figures that would have been obtained if itwere possible to take a complete census using the same sched-ules and procedures.

The standard error is a measure of sampling variabil-ity, that is, the variations that might occur by chance becauseonly a sample of the population is surveyed. The chances areabout two out of three that an estimate from the sample woulddiffer from a complete census by less than the standard error.The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the difference would beless than twice the standard error.

Table B shows the average standard error for the majoremployment status categories, by sex, computed from data for 12recent months. Estimates of change derived from the survey arealso subject to sampling variability. The standard error ofchange for consecutive months is also shown in table B. Thestandard errors of level shown in table B are acceptable approx-imations of the standard errors of year-to-year change.

The standard error of the change in an item from onemonth to the next month is more closely related to the standarderror of the monthly level for that item than to the size of thespecific month-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to usethe approximations to the standard errors of month-to-monthchanges as presented in table D, i t is first necessary to obtainthe standard error of the monthly level of the item in table C,and then find the standard error of the month-to-month change intable D corresponding to this standard error of level. Itshould be noted that table D applies to estimates of change be-tveen 2 consecutive months. For changes between the currentmonth and the same month last year, the standard errors of levelshovn in table C are acceptable approximations.

Illustration: Assume that the tables shoved the totalnumber of persons working a specific number of hours, as15,000,000, an Increase of 500,000 over the previous month.Linear interpolation in the first column of table C shows thatthe standard error of 15,000,000 is about 160,000. Consequently,the chances are about 68 out of 100 that the figure vhich wouldhave been obtained from a complete count of the number of per-sons working the given number of hours vould have differed byless than 160,000 from the sample estimate. Using the 160,000

as the standard error of the monthly- level in table D, i t maybe seen that the standard error of the 500,000 increase Isabout 135,000.

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

ESTABLISHMENT DATACOLLECTION

Payroll reports provide current information on vageand salary employment, hours, earnings, and labor turnover innonfarm establishments, by geographic location.

Federal-State Cooperation

Under cooperative arrangements vith State agencies,the respondent fills out only 1 employment or labor turnoverschedule, vhich is then used for national, State, and areaestimates. This eliminates duplicate reporting on the part ofrespondents and, together vith the use of identical techniquesat the national and State levels, ensures maximum geographiccomparability of estimates.

fc-I


State agencies mail the forms to the establishmentsand examine the returns for consistency, accuracy, and com-pleteness. The States use the information to prepare State andarea series and then send the data to the BLS for use in pre-paring the national series. The BLS and the Bureau of Employ-ment Security jointly finance the current employment statisticsprogram in ^3 States, the turnover program in kl States.

Shuttle Schedules

The Form BLS 790 is used to collect employment, pay-roll, and man-hours data, Form 1219 labor turnover data. Bothschedules are of the "shuttle" type, vith space for each monthof the calendar year.

The BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the numberof full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricul-tural establishments for the pay period ending nearest the 15thof each month. The labor turnover schedule provides;for thecollection of information on the total number of accessions andseparations, by type, during the calendar month.

INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION

Establishments are classified into industries on thebasis of their principal product or activity determined from in-formation on annual sales volume. This information is collectedeach year on a product supplement to the monthly 790 or 1219 re-port. In the case of an establishment making more than oneproduct or engaging in more than one activity, the entire em-ployment of the establishment is included under the industryindicated by the most important product or activity.

Prior to publication of State and area data forJanuary 1959, all national, State, and area employment, hours,earnings, and labor turnover series vere classified In accord-ance vith the following documents: (1) For manufacturing,Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Volume I, Bureau ofthe Budget, 19^5, and (2) for nonmanufacturing, IndustrialClassification Code, Social Security Board, 19^2. Beginningwith January 1959 (with an overlap for 1958), State and areaseries are classified under the revised Standard IndustrialClassification Manual published in 1957- The national industrystatistics will be converted to the 1957 SIC early in 1961.

CONCEPTS

Industry Employment

Employment data for all except Federal Governmentrefer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay forany part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month.For Federal Government establishments, current data generallyrefer to persons who received pay for the last day of the month.

The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, un-paid family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers inhouseholds. Salaried officers of corporations are included.Government employment covers only civilian employees; Federalmilitary personnel are shown separately, but their number Isexcluded from total nonagricultural employment.

Persons on an establishment payroll who are on paidsick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), paidholiday, or paid vacation, or who work during a part of the payperiod and are unemployed or on strike during the rest of theperiod, are counted as employed. Persons are not counted asemployed who are laid off, on leave without pay, or on strikefor the entire period, or who are hired but do not report towork during the period.

Benchmark Adjustments

Employment estimates are periodically compared withcomplete counts of employment in the various industries definedas nonagricultural, and appropriate adjustments made as indi-cated by the total counts or benchmarks. The comparison madefor the first 3 months of 1957, the last benchmark adjustment,resulted in changes amounting to 0.5 percent of all nonagricul-tural employment, identical with the extent of the adjustmentto the first quarter 1956 benchmark. The changes were lessthan 0.5 percent for three of the eight major industry divi-sions; under 2 percent for two other divisions; and 3.2, 3.3,and 6.4 percent for the remaining three divisions. The manu-facturing total was changed by only 0.1 percent for the secondsuccessive year. Within manufacturing, the benchmark and esti-mate differed by 1.0 percent or less in 39 of the 132 individ-ual industries, kl industries were adjusted by 1.1 to 2.5 per-cent, and an additional 27 industries differed by 2.6-5-0percent. One significant cause of differences between thebenchmark and estimate is the change in Industrial classifica-tion of individual firms, which is usually not reflected in BLSestimates until they are adjusted to new benchmarks. Othercauses are sampling and response errors.

The basic sources of benchmark information are thequarterly tabulations of employment data, by industry, compiledby State agencies from reports of establishments covered underState unemployment insurance laws. These tabulations are pre-pared under Bureau of Employment Security direction. Supple-mentary tabulations prepared by the U.S. Bureau of Old Age andSurvivors Insurance are used for the group of establishmentsexempt from State unemployment insurance laws because of their

5-E


small size. Benchmarks for industries wholly or partly ex-cluded from the unemployment insurance lavs are derived from avariety of other sources.

The BLS estimates relating to the benchmark quarter(the first quarter of the year) are compared vith the newbenchmark levels, industry by industry. Where revisions arenecessary, the monthly estimates are adjusted between the newbenchmark and the preceding one. The new benchmark for each in-dustry is then projected to the current month by use of thesample trends. Under this procedure, the benchmark is used toestablish the level of employment while the sample is used tomeasure the month-to-month changes in the level.

Seasonal Adjustment

Employment series for many industries reflect a regu-larly recurring seasonal movement which can be measured on thebasis of past experience. By eliminating that part of thechange in employment which can be ascribed to usual seasonalvariation, it is possible to clarify the cyclical and other non-seasonal movements in the series. Seasonally adjusted employ-ment aggregates are published. These estimates are derived bythe use of factors based on free-hand adjustments of 12-monthmoving averages. Seasonal factors are available on request.

I Industry Hours and Earnings

Hours and earnings data are derived from reports ofpayrolls and man-hours for production and related workers ornonsupervisory employees. These terms are defined below. Whenthe pay period reported is longer than 1 week, the figures arereduced to a weekly basis.

Production and Related Workers include working fore-men and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen andtrainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, in-spection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing,shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services,product development, auxiliary production for plant's own use(e.g., power plant), and recordkeeplng and other servicesclosely associated with the above production operations.

Nonsupervisory Employees include employees (not abovethe working supervisory level) such as office and clericalworkers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attend-ants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen,and similar occupational levels, and other employees whoseservices are closely associated with those of the employeeslisted.

Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-timeproduction, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who re-ceived pay for any part of the pay period ending nearest the15th of the month. The payroll is reported before deductionsof any kind, e.g., pJLd-age and unemployment insurance, groupinsurance, withholding tax, bonds, and union dues; also in-cluded is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sick leavepaid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paidregularly each pay period), other pay not earned in pay periodreported (e.g., retroactive pay), and the value of free rent,fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded.

Man-Hours cover man-hours worked or paid for, duringthe pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, for pro-duction, construction, and nonsupervisory workers. The man-hours include hours paid for holidays and vacations, and forsick leave when pay is received directly from the firm.

Overtime Hours cover premium overtime hours of pro-duction and related workers during the pay period endingnearest the. 15th of the month. Overtime hours are those forwhich premiums were paid because the hours were in excess ofthe number of hours of either the straight-time workday orworkweek. Weekend and holiday hours are included only if pre-mium wage rates were paid. Hours for which only shift differ-ential, hazard, incentive, or other similar types of premiumswere paid are excluded.

Gross Average Hourly and Weekly Earnings

Average hourly earnings for manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries 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. Employment shifts between relatively high-paid and

low-paid work and changes in workers1 earnings in individualestablishments also affect the general earnings averages.Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes inaverage hourly earnings for individual industries.

Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a statedperiod or time, while rates are the amounts stipulated for agiven unit of work or time. The earnings series, however, doesnot measure the level of total labor costs on the part of theemployer since the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses,retroactive items, payments of various welfare benefits, pay-roll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employeesnot covered under the production-worker or nonsupervisory-employee definitions.

Gross average weekly earnings are derived by multi-plying average weekly hours by average hourly earnings. There-fore, weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in grossaverage hourly earnings, but also by changes in the length ofthe workweek, part-time work, stoppages for varying causes,labor turnover,_and absenteeism.

Average Weekly Hours

The workweek information relates to the average hoursfor which pay was received, and is different from standard orscheduled hours. Such factors as absenteeism, labor turnover,part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to belower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Groupaverages further reflect changes in the workweek of componentindustries.

Average Overtime Hours

The overtime hours represent that portion of thegross average weekly hours which were in excess of regularhours and for which premium payments were made. If an employeeworks on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as totalcompensation his holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hoursworked that day, no overtime hours would be reported.

Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition,the gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarilymove in the same direction from month to month; for example,premiums may be paid for hours in excess of the straight-timeworkday although less than a full week is worked. Diversetrends on the industry-group level may also be caused by amarked change in gross hours for a component industry wherelittle or no overtime was worked in both the previous and cur-rent months. In addition, such factors as stoppages, absen-teeism, and labor turnover may not have the same influence onovertime hours as on gross hours.

Spendable Average Weekly Earnings

Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollarsare obtained by deducting estimated Federal social security andincome taxes from gross weekly earnings. The amount of incometax liability depends on the number of dependents supported bythe worker, as well as on the level of his gross income. Toreflect these variables, spendable earnings are computed fortwo types of income receivers—a worker with no dependents, anda worker with three dependents. The computations are based onthe gross average weekly earnings for all production and re-lated workers in manufacturing, mining, or contract construc-tion without regard to marital status, family composition, ortotal family income.

"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the; currentConsumer Price Index into the earnings average for the currentmonth. The resulting level of earnings expressed in 19^7-^9dollars is thus adjusted for changes in purchasing power sincethe base period.

Average Hourly Earnings Excluding Overtime

Average hourly earnings excluding premium overtimepay are computed by dividing the total production-worker pay-roll for the industry group by the sum of total production-worker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours.Prior to January 1956, data were based on the application ofadjustment factors to gross average hourly earnings (asdescribed in the Monthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-5^0).Both methods eliminate only the earnings due to overtime paidfor at one and one-half times the straight-time rates. No ad-justment is made for other premium payment provisions, such as

6-E


holiday vork, late-shift work, and overtime rates other thantine and one-half.

Indexes of Aggregate Weekly Payrolls and Man-Hours

The indexes of aggregate veekly payrolls and nan-hoursare prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by themonthly average for the 19^7-^9 period. The nan-hour aggregatesare the product lof average veekly hours and product!on-vorkeremployment, and the payroll aggregates are the product of grossaverage veekly earnings and production-vorker employment.

Railroad Hours and Earnings

The figures for Class I railroads (excluding switchingand terminal companies) are based on monthly data summarized inthe M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and re-late to all employees who received pay during the month exceptexecutives, officials, and staff assistants (ICC Group I).Gross average hourly earnings are computed by dividing totalcompensation by total hours paid for. Average veekly hours areobtained by dividing the total number of hours paid for, reducedto a veekly basis, by the number of employees, as defined above.Gross average veekly earnings are derived by multiplying averageveekly hours by average hourly earnings.

Labor TurnoverLabor turnover is the gross movement of wage and

salary vorkers into and out of employment status vith respect toindividual establishments. This movement, vhich relates to acalendar month, is divided into tvo broad types: Accessions(nev hires and re hires) 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 vorkers.Transfers to another establishment of the company are includedbeginning with January 1959-

Separations are terminations of employment during thecalendar month and are classified according to cause: Quits,layoffs, and other separations, as defined below.

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.

Layoff8 are suspensions without pay lasting or ex-pected to last more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiatedby the employer vithout prejudice to the vorker.

Other separations, vhich are not published separatelybut are included in total separations, are terminations of

employment because of discharge, permanent disability, death,retirement, transfers to another establishment of the company,and entrance into the Armed Forces expected to last more than30 consecutive calendar days.

Accessions are the total number of permanent and tem-porary additions to the employment roll including both nev andrehired employees.

Nev hires are temporary or permanent additions to theemployment roll of former employees not recalled by the em-ployer, or persons who have never before been employed in theestablishment, except for those transferred from other estab-lishments of the company.

Other accessions, vhich are not published separatelybut are included in total accessions, are all additions to theemployment roll vhich are not classified as nev hires.

Comparability With Employment Series

Month-to-month changes in total employment in manu-facturing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are notcomparable vith the changes shown in the Bureau's employmentseries for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separa-tions are computed for the entire calendar month; the employ-ment reports refer to the pay period ending nearest the 15th ofthe month; (2) the turnover sample excludes certain industries(see Coverage, p. 5-E); (3) plants on strike are not Included inthe turnover computations beginning vith the month the strikestarts through the month the vorkers return; the influence ofsuch stoppages is reflected, however, in the employment figures.

STATISTICS FOR STATES A N D AREAS

State and area employment, hours, earnings, and laborturnover data are collected and prepared by State agencies incooperation vith BLS. Additional industry detail may be ob-tained from the State agencies listed on the inside back cover.These statistics are based on the same establishment reportsused by BLS for preparing national estimates. For employment,the sum of the State figures may differ slightly from theequivalent official U.S. totals because of differences in thetiming of benchmark adjustments, slightly varying methods ofcomputation, and, since January 1959, a different classifica-tion system. (See Industrial Classification, p. 5-E-)

For Alaska and Hawaii, satisfactory employmentestimates cannot be derived by subtracting the U.S. totalsvithout Alaska and Hawaii from the totals including the 2 nevStates.
