Employment and Unemployment Developments,November 1972

Unemployment dropped in November, while totalemployment remained unchanged. The unemploymentrate was 5.2 percent, down from 5.5 percent in bothOctober and September and 6.0 percent a year ago. Therate in November was the lowest since August 1970.

Total employment was unchanged in November at82.5 million but has increased by 2.2 million sinceNovember a year ago.

Nonagricultural payroll jobs continued to expand inNovember, posting a gain of 200,000 from October.Most of this advance took place in manufacturing andtrade.

Unemployment

The number of persons unemployed declined inNovember, a month when total joblessness usually showslittle change. After seasonal adjustment, unemploymentwas down 300,000 from October and 600,000 from ayear ago and, at 4.5 million, reached its lowest levelsince September 1970. The reduction occurred whollyamong adult workers, divided about equally among menand women.

In line with this reduction in the overall unemploy-ment rate, rates for most of the major demographicgroups also declined substantially over the month. Job-less rates decreased from 3.9 to 3.6 percent for adultmen and from 5.5 to 5.0 percent for adult women. Formarried men, the rate fell from 2.8 to 2.4 percent, and,for household heads, it dropped from 3.4 to 2.9 percent.These rates were all well below those of November ayear ago and the lowest since mid-1970. The unemploy-ment rate for teenagers, at 15.4 percent, did not changeover the month but was below its levels of late 1971and early 1972.

The unemployment rate for white workers was 4.6percent, down sharply from 5.0 percent in October and5.6 percent in November a year ago. In contrast, theunemployment rate for Negroes, at 9.8 percent, wasnot materially changed both over the month and froma year ago.

The unemployment rate for full-time workers de-clined from 5.0 to 4.6 percent in November. After

peaking at 5.7 percent in late 1971, this rate has nowdeclined to its lowest level since mid-1970. The rate forpart-time workers, on the other hand, at 8.4 percent inNovember, was about the same as in the previous monthand November a year ago.

Among the major occupational groups, a marked de-cline in unemployment was registered by white-collarworkers, whose rate dropped from 3.6 to 3.1 percent.Within the white-collar group, the rate for professionaland technical workers dropped from 2.8 to 2.1 percentafter rising sharply in October, and that for clericalworkers decreased from 4.8 to 3.9 percent. The ratesfor blue-collar workers (5.8 percent) and service work-ers (6.4 percent) showed little over-the-month change,but the blue-collar rate was substantially below its year-ago level (7.5 percent).

Unemployment changes among the major industrygroups were small but generally consistent with the over-all trend. In manufacturing, the jobless rate continuedits downward movement in November. At 4.7 percent,this rate has receded substantially from its 7-percentlevel of early 1971. The November decline was ac-countecj for by workers in the nondurable goods sector.

The unemployment rate for workers covered byState unemployment insurance programs also declined,in November, from 3.3 to 3.1 percent, and reached itslowest level since the spring of 1970.

The average (mean) duration of unemployment con-tinued its decline in November, to 11.3 weeks (sea-sonally adjusted), down from 11.6 weeks in October.Average duration was at its lowest level in nearly a year,another indication of the recovery in the overall em-ployment situation.

There were only small changes in the distribution ofunemployment by reason in November. Since November1971, however, the percent of total unemployment dueto job loss decreased from 46 to 42 percent (seasonallyadjusted), while the proportion who voluntarily lefttheir jobs to seek other jobs rose from 12 to 14 percent.

Labor force and total employment

Given the stability in the level of employment andthe drop in unemployment, the labor force declined


over the month by 240,000 (seasonally adjusted) to a

level of 87.0 million. Over the past year, the labor force

has risen by 1.6 million workers (after eliminating the

effects of the 1970 Census population control adjust-

ment introduced in January 1972). Total employment,

by contrast, has advanced by 2.2 million over the period.

Adult men accounted for half of the year-to-year in-

crease in employment, and adult women and teenagers

combined about equally for the other half.

Vietnam Era veterans

For the third straight month, there was essentially

no difference between the unemployment rate of vet-

erans and nonveterans 20-29 years old. The seasonally

adjusted unemployment rates in November were 6.2

percent for veterans and 6.4 percent for nonveterans.

(See table A-38.) Both rates were about unchanged over

the month. Since early 1972, however, jobless rates have

declined for both veterans and nonveterans, with vet-

erans registering the sharper drop—over 2 percentage

points versus about 1 percentage point for nonveterans.

Compared with November 1971, there was a gain of

430,000 in veterans' employment. This not only ab-

sorbed all of the increase in their labor force but also

reduced the number unemployed—by over 60,000.

The number of Vietnam Era veterans in ages 30-34

has been increasing steadily, as men discharged in earlier

years move into the older age groups. In November,

800,000, or 131/a percent, of the total Vietnam Era

veteran population were 30-34 years old; nearly all of

them were in the labor force, and their unemployment

rate was 3.8 percent (not seasonally adjusted).

Industry payroll employment

Nonagricultural payroll employment continued itsstrong advance in November, posting a gain of 200,000(seasonally adjusted). This brought the number of pay-roll jobs to 73.8 million. Since November 1971, payrollemployment has risen at a sharp pace—by 2.7 million.

The October-to-November employment gain was fairlywidespread, occurring in most of the service-producingindustries and in manufacturing. Among the service-producing industries, the largest advance occurred intrade (85,000). Employment in the services sector hasshown especially rapid growth over the past year.

An over-the-month rise of 80,000 in manufacturingemployment was concentrated in the durable goods in-dustries. Factory jobs have grown steadily over the pastyear following 2 years of employment declines.

The number of workers on contract construction pay-

rolls dropped by 25,000 in November. The decline was

probably related to the rainy weather which prevailed in

many sections of the country during the survey week.

Hours of work

The average workweek of production or nonsuper-

visory workers on private nonagricultural payrolls de-

clined more than seasonally expected in November and,

after seasonal adjustment, was down 0.2 hour to 37.1

hours. Sharp workweek drops in mining and contract

construction (also probably related to bad weather) and

marginal declines among the service-producing industries

accounted for the October-to-November dip. Average

weekly hours were at the same level in November as a

year ago and have shown no clear trend over the entire

period.

In contrast, the average workweek in manufacturing

rose 0.2 hour over the month to 40.9 hours, seasonally

adjusted, its highest level since October 1968. Factory

hours also were up substantially over the year—by

0.8 hour. Average overtime in manufacturing increased

by 0.1 hour over the month and 0.7 hour from

November 1971.

Hourly and weekly earnings

Average hourly earnings of production or nonsuper-visory workers on private nonfarm payrolls were $3.73in November, unchanged from the October level. Com-pared with a year ago, hourly earnings have risen 24cents, or 6.9 percent.

Because of the decline in hours, average weeklyearnings of rank-and-file workers were down $1.12over the month to $138.01. Compared with Novembera year ago, average weekly earnings have risen $8.88, or6.9 percent. During the latest 12-month period forwhich the Consumer Price Index is available—October1971 to October 1972—consumer prices rose 3.4percent.

Hourly Earnings Index

The Bureau's Hourly Earnings Index, seasonally ad-

justed, was 140.5 (1967=100) in November, about un-

changed from October according to preliminary figures.

The index was 6.6 percent above November a year ago.

All industries posted over-the-year increases, ranging

from 5.3 percent in finance, insurance, and real estate

to 10.5 percent in transportation and public utilities.

During the 12-month period ending in October, the

Hourly Earnings Index in dollars of constant purchasing

power rose 2.9 percent.

MOTE: Figures for periods prior to January 1972 are not strictly comparable with current data because of the introduction of 1970Census data into the estimation procedures. For example, the civilian labor force and employment totals vere increased by more than300,000 as a result of the census adjustment. For an explanation of the changes and an indication of the differences, see "Revisionsin the Current Population Survey" in the February 1972 issue of Employment and Earnings.

1 For coverage of series, see footnote 1, table B-2.2 Beginning January 1965, data relate to railroads with operating revenues of $5,000,000 or more.3 Data relate to employees in such occupations in the telephone industry as switchboard operators; service assistants; operating room instructors; and pay-station attendants. In 1971, such

employees made up 29 percent of the total number of nonsupervisory employees in establishments reporting hours and earnings data.4 Data relate to employees in such occupations in the telephone industry as central office craftsmen; installation and exchange repair craftsmen; line, cable, and conduit craftsmen;and laborers.

In 1971, such employees made up 34 percent of the total number of nonsupervisory employees in establishments reporting hours and earnings data.5 Data relate to nonsupervisory employees except messengers.6 Money payments only; tips, not included.7 Data for nonbffice salesmen excluded from all series in this division.* Not available.p= preliminary.

t As noted on page 7 of the January 1972 issue of this magazine, the series does not include earned pay withheld as a consequence of delays caused by the wage freeze in effect between Au-gust 15 and November 14, 1971, and by administrative procedures of the Pay Board. These delays resulted from compliance with the Government's Economic Stabilization Program. Because thesewithheld payments were substantial and fell due under a significant number of new labor-management contracts in that industry, they affected a large proportion of SIC 372. Accordingly, the serieswill be supplemented by publication in the future of a series which will include withheld payments in the months earned.

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 Censusfor the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensivedata on the labor force, the employed and the unemployed,including such characteristics as age, sex, color, marital status,occupations, hours of work, and duration of unemployment.The survey also provides data on the characteristics and pastwork experience of those not in the labor force. The informationis collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about47,000 households, representing 461 areas in 923 counties andindependent cities, with coverage in 50 States and the Districtof Columbia. The data collected are based on the activity orstatus reported for the calendar week including the 12th of themonth.

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 informationon nonagricultural wage and salary employment, average weeklyhours, average hourly and weekly earnings, job vacancies, andlabor turnover for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas.The employment, hours, and earnings series are based on payrollreports from a sample of establishments employing about 30million nonagriculture wage and salary workers. The data relateto all workers, full- or part-time, who received pay during thepayroll period which includes the 12th of the month. Basedon a somewhat smaller sample, labor turnover data relate toactions occurring during the month while job vacancies pertainto those outstanding at the end of the month.

Data based on administrative records of unemploymentinsurance systems furnish a complete count of insured unem-ployment among the two-thirds of the Nation's jabor forcecovered by unemployment insurance programs. Weekly reports,by State, are issued on the number of initial claims, the volume,and rate of insured unemployment under State unemploymentinsurance programs, and the volume under programs of unem-ployment compensation for Federal employees, ex-servicemen,and raitroad workers. These statistics are published by theManpower Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, in "Un-employment 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 surveywhereas detailed industrial classifications can be reliably derivedonly from establishment reports.

Data from these two sources differ from each other becauseof differences in definition and coverage, sources of information,methods of collection, and estimating procedures. Samplingvariability and response errors are additional reasons for dis-crepancies. The major factors which have a differential effecton levels and trends of the two series are as follows:

Employment

Coverage. The household survey definition of employmentcomprises wage and salary workers (including domestics andother private household workers), self-employed persons, andunpaid workers who worked 15 hours or more during the surveyweek in family-operated enterprises. Employment in bothagricultural and nonagricultural industries is included. The pay-roll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the pay-rolls of nonagricultural establishments.

Multiple jobholding. The household approach provides infor-mation 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 duringthe reporting period are counted each time their names appearon payrolls.

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 buthad jobs from which they were temporarily absent because ofillness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management dispute, orbecause they were taking time off for various other reasons,even if they were not paid by their employers for the time off.,In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on leave paid forby the company are included, but not those on leave withoutpay for the 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 worked where-as the payroll survey measures hours paid for by employers. Inthe household survey data, all persons with a JOD but not at workare excluded from the hours distributions and the computationsof average hourso In the payroll survey, employees on paid vaca-tion, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assignedthe number of hours for which they were paid during the report-ing period.

Comparability of the household interviewdata with other series

Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total fromthe household survey includes all persons who did not have a jobat all 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 for unem-ployment insurance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims,prepared by the Manpower Administration of the Departmentof Labor, exclude persons who have exhausted their benefit

rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemploy-ment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unem-ployment insurance systems (agriculture, State and local govern-ment, domestic service, self-employment, unpaid family work,nonprofit organizations, and firms below a minimum size).

!n 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 differences be-tween 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 ofAgriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the in-clusion of persons under 16 in the Statistical Research Service(SRS) series and the treatment of dual jobholders who arecounted more than once if they worked on more than onefarm during the reporting period. There are also wide differencesin sampling techniques and collecting and estimating methods,which cannot be readily measured in terms of impact on dif-ferences in level and trend of the two series.

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,published jointly by the U.S. Departments of Commerce andHealth, Education, and Welfare, differ from BLS establishmentstatistics in the treatment of central administrative offices andauxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrialclassification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludesinterstate railroads and government, and coverage is incompletefor some of the nonprofit activities.

Employment. covered by State unemployment insuranceprograms. Most nonagricultural wage and salary workers arecovered by the unemployment insurance programs. Beginningin January 1972, coverage was expanded to include employeesof small firms and selected nonprofit activities who had notbeen covered previously. However, certain activities, such asinterstate railroads, private hospitals, parochial schools, andchurches are not covered by unemployment insurance whereasthese are included in BLS statistics.

Labor Force Data

Collection and coverage

Statistics on the employment status of the population,the personal, occupational, and other characteristics of theemployed, the unemployed, and persons not in the laborforce, and related data are compiled for the BLS by theBureau of the Census in its Current Population Survey (CPS).A detailed description of this survey appears in "Concepts andMethods Used in Manpower Statistics from the Current Popula-tion Survey" (BLS Report 313). This report is available fromBLS on request.

These monthly surveys of the population are conductedwith a scientifically selected sample designed to represent thecivilian noninstitutional population 16 years and over. Re-spondents are interviewed to obtain information about theemployment status of each member of the household 16 yearsof age and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status duringthe calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, which includesthe 12th of the month. This is known as the survey week. Actualfield interviewing is conducted in the following week.

Inmates of institutions and persons under 16 years of ageare not covered in the regular monthly enumerations and areexcluded from the population and labor force statistics shownin this report. Data on members of the Armed Forces, who areincluded as part of the categories "total noninstitutional popula-t ion" and "total labor force," are obtained from the Depart-ment of Defense.

Each month, 47,000 occupied units are designated forinterview. About 1,700 of these households are visited butinterviews are not obtained because the occupants are notfound at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for otherreasons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey ofabout 4 percent. In addition to the 47,000 occupied units,there are 7,500 sample units in an average month which arevisited but found to be vacant or otherwise not to beenumerated. Part of the sample is changed each month.The rotation plan provides for three-fourths of the sample tobe common from one month to the next, and one-half tobe common with the same month a year ago.

Concepts

Employed persons comprise (a) all those who during thesurvey week did any work at all as paid employees, in theirown business, profession, or farm, or who worked 15 hoursor more as unpaid workers in an enterprise operated by amember of the family, and (b) all those who were notworking but who had jobs or businesses from which they weretermporarily absent because of illness, bad weather, vacation,labor-management dispute, or personal reasons, whether or notthey were paid by their employers for the time off, and whetheror not they were seeking other jobs.

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 foreign coun-tries, temporarily in the United States, who are not living on thepremises of an Embassy.

Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of workaround 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 not workduring the survey week, who made specific efforts to find a jobwithin the past 4 weeks, and who were available for work duringthe survey week (except for temporary illness). Also included asunemployed are those who did not work at all, were available forwork, and (a) were waiting to be called back to a job from whichthey had been laid off; or (b) were waiting to report to a newwage or salary job within 30 days.

Duration of unemployment represents the length of time(through the current survey week) during which persons clas-sified as unemployed had been continuously looking for work.For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents thenumber of full weeks since the termination of their most recentemployment. A period of 2 weeks or more during which a per-son was employed or ceased looking for work is considered tobreak the continuity of the present period of seeking work.Average duration is an arithmetic mean computed from a distri-bution by single weeks of unemployment.

Unemployed persons by reasons for unemployment are di-vided into four major groups. (1) Job losers are persons whoseemployment ended involuntarily who immediately began lookingfor work and persons on layoff. (2) Job leavers are persons whoquit or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily andimmediately began looking for work. (3) Reentrants are personswho previously worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks orlonger but who were out of the labor force prior to beginning tolook for work. (4) New entrants are persons who never workedat a fuil-time job lasting 2 weeks or longer.

The civilian labor force comprises the total of all civiliansclassified as employed or unemployed in accordance with thecriteria described above. The "total labor force" also includesmembers of the Armed Forces stationed either in the UnitedStates or abroad.

The unemployment rate represents the number unemployedas a percent of the civilian labor force. This measure can also becomputed for groups within the labor force classified by sex, age,

^ marital status, color, etc. The job-loser, job-leaver, reentrant, andnew entrant rates are each calculated as a percent of the civilianlabor force; the sum of the rates for the four groups thus equalsthe total unemployment rate.

Participation rates represent the proportion of the noninsti-tutlonal population that is in the labor force. Two types of par-ticipation rates are published: The total labor force participation

rate, which is the ratio of the total labor force and the total non-institutional population, and the civilian labor force participa-tion rate, which is the ratio of civilian labor force and civiliannoninstitutional population. Participation rates are usually pub-lished for sex-age groups, often cross-classified by other demo-graphic characteristics such as color and educational attainment.

Not in labor force includes all civilians 16 years and over whoare not classified as employed or unemployed. These persons arefurther classified as "engaged in own home housework," "inschool," "unable to work" because of long-term physical ormental illness, and "other." The "other"group includes for themost part retired persons, those reported as too old to work, thevoluntarily idle, and seasonal workers for whom the survey weekfell in an "off" season and who were not reported as unem-ployed. Persons doing only incidental unpaid family work (lessthan 15 hours) are also classified as not in the labor force.

For persons not in the labor force, data on previous work ex-perience, intentions to seek work again, desire for a job at thetime of interview, and reasons for not looking for work are com-piled on a quarterly basis. As of January 1970, the detailed ques-tions for persons not in the labor force are asked only in thosehouseholds that are in the fourth and eighth months of the sam-ple, i.e., the "outgoing" groups, those which had been in thesample for 3 previous months and would not be in for the sub-sequent month. Between 1967 and 1969, the detailed not-in-labor force questions were asked of persons in the first and fifthmonths in the sample, i.e., the "incoming" groups.

Occupation, industry, and class of worker for the employedapply to the job held in the survey week. Persons with two ormore jobs are classified in the job at which they worked thegreatest number of hours during the survey week. The unem-ployed are classified according to their latest full-time civilianjob lasting 2 weeks or more. The occupation and industry groupsused in data derived from the CPS household interviews are de-fined as in the 1970 Census of Population. Information on thedetailed categories included in these groups is available uponrequest.

The class-of-worker breakdown specifies "wage and salaryworkers," subdivided into private and government workers, "self-employed workers," and "unpaid family workers." Wage andsalary workers receive wages, salary, commission, tips, or pay inkind from a private employer or from a governmental unit. Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in theirown business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm. Unpaidfamily workers are persons working without pay for 15 hours aweek or more on a farm or in a business operated by a memberof the household to whom they are related by blood or marriage.

Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number of hoursworked during the survey week. For example, a person who nor-mally works 40 hours a week but who was off on the VeteransDay holiday would be reported as working 32 hours even thoughhe 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. How-ever, 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, invofved 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 between

120


1 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, re-pairs 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, de-mands of home housework, school, no desire for full-time work,and full-time worker only during peak season. Persons on full-time schedules include, in addition to those working 35 hours ormore, those who worked from 1-34 hours for noneconomicreasons and usually work full time.

Full- and part-time labor force. The fuli-time labor force con-sists of persons working on full-time schedules, persons involun-tarily working part time (because full-time work is not available),and unemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The part-timelabor force 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 man-hours lost to theeconomy through unemployment and involuntary part-time em-ployment and is expressed as a percent of potentially availableman-hours. It is computed by assuming: (1) That unemployedpersons looking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours,(2) that those looking for part-time work lost the average num-ber of hours actually worked by voluntary part-time workersduring the survey week, and (3) that persons on part time for ec-onomic reasons lost the difference between 37.5 hours and theactual 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 had formerly been identified as "Nonwhite," includes allpersons who are observed in the enumeration process to be otherthan white. At the time of the 1960 Census of Population, ap-proximately 92 percent of the Negro and other races populationgroup were Negro; the remainder were American Indians,Eskimos, Orientals, and other nonwhites. Tables in this volumewhich contain these data utilize the word "color" to so indicate.

Major activity: going to school and major activity: otherare terms 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 month intable A-5 for 16-21 year-olds by employment status, color, sex,and, if unemployed, whether seeking full- or part-time work.

ESTIMATING METHODS

Under the estimation methods used in the CPS, all of the re-sults 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, re-visions 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 for oc-cupied sample households for which no information was obtainedbecause of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or unavailabilityof the respondent for other reasons. This adjustment is madeseparately by combinations of sample areas and, within these, forsix groups—two race categories (white, and Negro and otherraces) within three residence categories. For sample areas whichare standard metropolitan statistical areas (SMSA's), these resi-

dence categories are the central cities, and the urban and therural balance of the SMSA's. For other sample areas, the resi-dence categories are urban, rural nonfarm, and rural farm. Theproprotion of sample households not interviewed varies from 3to 5 percent depending on weather, vacations, etc.

2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population se-lected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, fromthat of the Nation as a whole, in such characteristics as age,color, sex, and residence. Since these population characteristicsare closely correlated with labor force participation and otherprincipal measurements made from the sample, the latter esti-mates can be substantially improved when weighted appro-priately by the known distribution of these population charac-teristics. This is accomplished through two stages of ratio es-timates as follows:

a. First-stage ratio estimate. This is a procedure in which thesample proportions are weighted by the known 1970 Census dataon the color-residence distribution of the population. This steptakes 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. !n this step, the sample pro-portions are weighted by independent current estimates of thepopulation by age, sex, and color. These estimates are pre-pared by carrying forward the most recent census data (1970) totake account of subsequent aging of the population, mortality,and migration between the United States and other countries.

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 for con-tinuing parts of the sample (75 percent) as well as the sample re-sults for the current month. This procedure reduces the samplingvariability of month-to-month changes especially and of thelevels for most items also.

Rounding of estimatesThe sums of individual items may not always equal the totals

shown in the same tables because of independent rounding oftotals and components to the nearest thousand. Differences,however, are insignificant.

Reliability of the estimatesSince the estimates are based on a sample, they may differ

from the figures that would have been obtained if it were possibleto take a complete census using the same schedules andprocedures.

The standard error is a measure of sampling variability, thatis, the variations that might occur by chance because only asample of the population is surveyed. The chances are about 2out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differ from acomplete census by less than the standard error. The chances areabout 19 out of 20 that the difference would be less than twicethe standard error.

Table A shows the average standard error for the major em-ployment status categories, by sex, computed from data for pastmonths. Estimates of change derived from the survey are alsosubject to sampling variability. The standard error of change forconsecutive months is also shown in table A. The standard errorsof level shown in table A are acceptable approximations of thestandard errors of year-to-year change.

The figures presented in table B are to be used for othercharacteristics and are approximations of the standard errors ofall 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 error 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 the ap-proximations to the standard errors of month-to-month changesas presented in table C, it is first necessary to obtain the standarderror of the monthly level of the item in table B, and then find

the standard error of the month-to-month change in table Ccorresponding 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 6 are acceptable approximations.

Illustration: Assume that the tables showed the total numberof persons working a specific number of hours as 15,000,000, anincrease of 500,000 over the previous month. Linear interpola-tion in the first column of table B shows that the standard errorof 15,000,000 is about 133,000. Consequently, the chances areabout 68 out of 100 that the sample estimate differs by less than133,000 from the figure which would have been obtained froma complete 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 interpolation maybe used for percentages and base figures not shown in table D.As a general rule, percentages will not be published when themonthly base is less than 75,000 or the annual base is lessthan 35,000.

Establishment Data

COLLECTION

Payroll reports provide current information on wage andsalary employment, hours, earnings, job vacancies, and laborturnover in nonagriculturSl establishments, by industry andgeographic location.

Federal-State cooperation

Under cooperative arrangements with State agencies, therespondent fills out a single employment or job vacancy-laborturnover reporting form, which is then used for national, State,and area 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 com-pleteness. The States use the information to prepare Stateand area series and then send the establishment data to theBLS for use in preparing the national series.

Shuttle schedules

Two types of data collection schedules are used: Form BLS790—Monthly Report on Employment, Payroll, and Hours;and Form DL 1219—Monthly Report on Job Openings andLabor Turnover. These schedules are of the "shuttle" type,with space for each month of the calendar year. The collectingagency returns the schedule to the respondent each month sothat the next month's data can be entered. This procedureassures maximum comparability and accuracy of reporting,since the respondent can see the figures he has reported forprevious months.

Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the numberof full- and part-time workers on the payrolls of nonagricul-tural establishments and, for most industries, payroll and man-hours of production and related workers or nonsupervisoryworkers for the pay period which includes the 12th of themonth. Form DL 1219 provides for the collection of infor-mation on the total number of accessions and separations,by type, during the calendar month, and three job vacancyitems as of the end of the month: Current job vacancies,(i.e., vacancies available for immediate filling), current va-cancies which have remained unfilled for 30 days or more, andopenings with future starting dates.

CONCEPTS

Industrial classification

Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 and FormDL 1219 are classified into industries on the basis of theirprincipal product or activity determined from information onannual sales volume. This information is collected each year on asupplement to the monthly 790 or 1219 report. For anestablishment making more than one product or engagingin more than one activity, the entire employment of theestablishment is included under the industry indicated by themost important product or activity.

All national, State, and area employment, hours, earnings,job vacancy, and labor turnover series are classified in accord-ance with the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, Bureauof 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 civilian em-ployees; military personnel are excluded.

Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sickleave (when pay is received directly from the firm), on paidholiday or paid vacation, or who work during a part of thepay period and are unemployed or on strike during the restof the period, are counted as employed. Not counted asemployed are persons who are laid off, on leave withoutpay, or on strike for the entire period or who are hired buthave not been paid during the period.

Industry hours and earnings

Hours and earnings data are derived from reports of (payrollsand man-hours for production and related workers in manufac-turing 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 and non-supervisory. Terms are defined below. When the pay period re-ported is longer than 1 week, figures are reduced to a weeklybasis.

Production and related workers include working foremanand all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees)engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, re-ceiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, main-tenance, repair, janitorial and watchman services, productdevelopment, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g.,power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closelyassociated with the above production operations.

Construction workers include the following employees inthe contract construction division: Working foremen, journey-men, mechanic's apprentices, laborers, etc., whether workingat the site of construction or in shops or yards, at jobs (such asprecutting and preassembling) ordinarily performed by mem-bers of the construction trades.

Nonsupervisory employees include employees (not abovethe working supervisory level) such as office and clerical work-ers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, physicians, law-yers, accountants, nurses, social workers, research aids, teach-ers, draftsmen, photographers, beauticians, musicians, restau-rant workers, custodial workers, attendants, linemen, laborers,

123


janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and otheremployees whose services are closely associated with those ofthe employees listed.

Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time produc-tion, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who receivedpay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12thof the month. The payroll is reported before deductions ofany kind, e.g., for old-age and unemployment insurance,group insurance, withholding tax, bonds, or union dues; alsoincluded is pay for overtime, holidays, vacations, and sickleave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned andpaid regularly each pay period), other pay not earned inpay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay), tips, and thevalue of free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind areexcluded. "Fringe benefits" (such as health and other typesof insurance, contributions to retirement, etc. paid by theemployer) are also excluded.

Man-hours cover man-hours paid for, during the pay periodwhich includes the 12th of the month, for production, con-struction, or nonsupervisory workers. The man-hours includehours paid for holidays and vacations, and for sick leave whenpay is received directly from the firm.

Overtime hours' cover hours worked by production or re-lated workers for which overtime premiums were paid becausethe hours 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.Hours for which only shift differential, hazard, incentive, orother similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.

Gross average hourly and weekly earnings

Average hourly earnings are on a "gross" basis, reflectingnot only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates butalso such variable factors as premium pay for overtime andlate-shift work and changes in output of workers paid on anincentive plan. Shifts in the volume of employment betweenrelatively high-paid and low-paid work and changes in work-ers' earnings in individual establishments also affect the gen-eral earnings averages. Averages for groups and divisions fur-ther reflect changes in average hourly earnings for individualindustries.

Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earn-ings are the actual return to the worker for a stated periodof time; rates are the amounts stipulated for a given unit ofwork or time. The earnings series does not measure the levelof total labor costs on the part of the employer since thefollowing are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive items,payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid byemployers, and earnings for those employees not coveredunder the production-worker, construction-worker, or nonsup-ervisory-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 grossaverage hourly earnings but also by changes in the length ofthe workweek. Monthly variations in such factors as pro-portion of part-time workers, stoppages for varying causes,labor turnover during the survey period, and absenteeism forwhich employees are not paid may cause the average work-week 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 proportionof part-time workers in retail trade and many of the serviceindustries has reduced average workweeks in these industries andhas affected the average weekly earnings series.


The workweek information relates to the average hoursfor which pay was received and is different from standard orscheduled hours. Such factors as unpaid absenteeism, laborturnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause average weeklyhours to be lower than scheduled hours of work for an estab-lishment. Group averages further reflect changes in the work-week of component industries.


The overtime hours represent the portion of the grossaverage weekly hours which were in excess of regular hoursand for which overtime premiums were paid. If an employeeworked 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,gross weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarilymove in the same direction from month-to-month; for ex-ample, overtime premiums may be paid for hours in excessof the straight-time workday although less than a full weekis worked. Diverse trends at the industry-group level alsomay be caused by a marked change in gross hours for a com-ponent industry where little or no overtime was worked inboth the previous and current months. In addition, suchfactors as stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover maynot have the same influence on overtime hours as on grosshours.

Hours and earnings for total privatenonagricufitural industries

This series covers all nonagricultural industry divisions ex-cept government. The principal source of payroll data is FormBLS 790. Secondary source material such as Employment andWages (Manpower Administration), County Business Patterns(Bureau of the Census), and additional supporting informationsuch as The Hospital Guide, Part I I , of the American HospitalAssociation and special studies by the National Council ofChurches supplement data for certain industry groups within theservice division.

For a technical description of this series, see the article,"Hours and Earnings for Workers in Private Nonagricultural In-dustries," published in the May 1967 issue of Employment andEarnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force.

Railroad hours and earnings

The figures for class I railroads (excluding switching and ter-

minal companies) are based on monthly data summarized in the

M-300 report of the Interstate Commerce Commission and relate

to all employees except executives, officials, and staff assistants

(ICC group I) who received pay during the month. Gross average

hourly earnings are computed by dividing total compensation by

total hours paid for. Average weekly hours are obtained by

124


dividing the total number of hours paid for, reduced to a weeklybasis, by the number of employees, as defined above. Gross av-erage weekly earnings are derived by multiplying average weeklyhours by average hourly earnings.

Spendable average weekly earnings

Spendable average weekly earnings in current dollars are ob-tained by deducting estimated Federal social security and in-come taxes from average weekly earnings. The amount of in-come tax liability depends on the number of dependentssupported by the worker and his marital status, as well as on thelevel 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 those work-ers, with either none or three dependents, whose gross weeklypay approximates the average earnings indicated for all produc-tion and nonsupervisory workers. It does not reflect, for ex-ample, the average earnings of all workers with three dependents;such workers, in fact have higher gross average earnings thanworkers with no dependents.

Since part-time as well as full-time workers are included,and since the proportion of part-time workers has been rising,the series understates the increase in earnings for full-time worK-ers. As noted, "fringe benefits" are not included in the earnings.For a more complete discussion of the uses and limitations ofthese series, see the article by Paul M. Schwab, "Two Measuresof Purchasing Power Contrasted/' in the Monthly Labor Reviewfor April 1971. Reprints of this article are available from theBureau of Labor Statistics.

"Real" earnings are computed by dividing the current Con-sumer 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-worker man-hours and one-half of total overtime man-hours. Prior to January1956, these data were based on the application of adjustmentfactors to gross average hourly earnings (as described in theMonthly Labor Review, May 1950, pp. 537-540). Both methodseliminate only the earnings due to overtime paid for at VA timesthe straight-time rates. No adjustment is made for other pre-mium payment provisions, such as holiday work, late-shift workand overtime rates other than time and one-half.

Indexes of aggregate weekly payrollsand man-hours

The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls and man-hours areprepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by themonthly average for the 1967 period. The man-hour aggre-gates are the product of average weekly hours and production-

worker or nonsupervisory worker employment, and the pay-roll aggregates are the product of man-hour aggregates andaverage hourly earnings. At all higher levels of aggregation,man-hour and payroll aggregates are the sum of the com-ponent aggregates.

Labor turnover

Labor turnover is the gross movement of wage and salaryworkers into and out of employed status with respect to indi-vidual establishments. This movement, which relates to a calen-dar month, is divided into two broad types: Accessions (newhires 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 arate per 100 employees. The data relate to all employees,whether full- or part-time, permanent or temporary, includingexecutive, office, sales, other salaried personnel, and produc-tion workers. Transfers to another establishment of the com-pany are included, beginning with January 1959.

Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporaryadditions to the employment roll, including both new and re-hired employees.

New hires are temporary or permanent additions to theemployment roll of persons who have never before been em-ployed in the establishment (except employees transferring fromanother establishment of the same company) or of former em-ployees 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 the cal-endar month and are classified according to cause: Quits, lay-offs, and other separations, are defined as follows:

Quits are terminations of employment initiated by em-ployees, failure to report after being hired, and unauthorized ab-sences, if on the last day of the month the person has been ab-sent more than 7 consecutive calendar days.

Layoffs are suspensions without pay lasting or expected tolast more than 7 consecutive calendar days, initiated by the em-ployer 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 toemployment series

Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufac-turing industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not com-parable with the changes shown in the Bureau's employmentseries for the following reasons: (1) Accessions and separationsare computed for the entire calendar month; the employment re-ports 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.

125


Job vacancies

Job vacancies are the stock of unfilled job openings as of theclose of the last business day of the reference month. Openingsfor all kinds of positions, classifications and employment, fulltime, part time, permanent, temporary, and seasonal are in-cluded. Excluded are jobs to be filled by recall from layoff,transfer, promotion, demotion or return from paid or unpaidleave; jobs unoccupied because of labor-management disputes;job openings for which "new" workers were already hired andscheduled to start work later; and openings with future startingdates, which are requested as a separate item.

Job vacancies are defined as vacant jobs which are immedi-ately available for filling, and for which the firm is actively try-ing to find or recruit workers from outside the firm.

"Actively trying to find or recruit" means that the establish-ment is engaged in current efforts to fill the job vacancies bymeans of orders listed with public or private employment agen-cies and school placement offices; notification to labor unionsand professional organizations; "help wanted" advertising (news-paper, posted notice, etc.) recruitment programs; and interviewand selection of applicants.

Long-term job vacancies are those current vacancies whichhave continued unfilled for 30 days or more.

The reporting establishment is also asked to indicate thenumber of openings with future starting dates for which the firmis actively trying to recruit workers from outside the firm.

Job openings with future starting dates may exist for suchreasons as: Job unavailable until expected separation of presentincumbent occurs; work will not start until some future date;new branch to be opened in the future; or anticipated increase inbusiness.

The job vacancy rate is computed by dividing the number ofcurrent job vacancies by the sum of employment plus vacancies,and multiplying that quotient by 100.

Occupational classifications are made in accordance withthose established in the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, ThirdEdition, U.S. Department of Labor, 1965.

ESTIMATING METHODS

The principal features of the procedure used to estimate em-ployment for the industry statistics are (1) the use of the "linkrelative" technique, which is a form of ratio estimation, (2) pe-riodic adjustment of employment levels to new benchmarks, 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 currentmonth employment to that of the previous month is computed.This is called a link relative. The estimates of employment (allemployees, including production and nonproduction workers to-gether) 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 selected em-ployment estimates each month. The size of the bias correctionfactors is determined from past experience. Other features of thegeneral procedures are described later in table L, Summary ofmethods for computing industry statistics on employment,hours, earnings, job vacancies, and labor turnover. Furtherdetails are given in the technical notes—Chapter 2, Employ-ment, hours and earnings, and Chapter 3, Job vacancies and

labor turnover, reprinted from the Handbook of Methods,BLS Bulletin 1711 —which are available upon request.

Size and regional stratification

A number of industries are stratified by size of establish-ment and/or by region, and the stratified production- or non-supervisory-worker data are used to weight the hours and earn-ings into broader industry groupings. Accordingly, the basic esti-mating cell for an employment, hours, or earnings series, as theterm is used in the summary of computational methods, may bea 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 appropriate ad-justments are made as indicated. The industry estimates arecurrently projected from March 1971 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 three-fourths ofthe total nonagricultural employment in the United States.Benchmark data for the residual are obtained from the recordsof the Social Security Administration, the Interstate CommerceCommission, and a number of other agencies in private industryor government.

The estimates relating to the benchmark month are com-pared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry. If re-visions are necessary, the monthly series of estimates are ad-justed between the new benchmark and the preceding one, andthe new benchmark for each industry is then carried forwardprogressively to the current month by use of the sample trends.Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark is used to establishthe level of employment; the sample is used to measure themonth-tb-month changes in the level. A comparison of the actualamounts of revisions made in the last 3 benchmark years isshown in table E.

Data for a!! 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 bench-mark revision a summary volume of employment, hours, earn-ings, and labor turnover statistics.

THE SAMPLE

Design

The sampling plan used in the current employment statisticsprogram is known as "sampling proportionate to average size ofestablishment." This design is an optimum allocation designamong strata since the sampling variance is proportional to theaverage size of establishments. The universe of establishments isstratified first by industry and then within each industry by sizeof establishment in terms of employment. For each industry, thenumber of sample units is distributed among the size class cellson the basis of average employment per establishment in eachcell. In practice, this is equivalent to distributing the predeter-mined total number of establishments required in the sampleamong the cells on the basis of the ratio of employment in eachcell to total employment in the industry. Within each noncer-tainty stratum the sample members are selected at random.

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 inwhich a high proportion of total employment is concentratedin relatively few establishments, a large percentage of total em-ployment is included in the sample. Consequently, the sampledesign for such industries provides for a complete census of thelarge establishments with only a few chosen from among thesmaller establishments or none at all if the concentration of em-ployment is great enough. On the other hand, in an industry inwhich a large proportion of total employment is in small estab-lishments, the sample design calls for inclusion of all large estab-lishments and also for a substantial number of the small ones.Many industries 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 individual es-tablishments in these nonmanufacturing divisions generally showless fluctuation from regular cyclical or seasonal patterns than es-tablishments in manufacturing industries, these smaller samples(in terms of employment) generally produce reliable estimates,

In the context of the BLS employment and job vacancy-labor turnover statistics programs, with their emphasis on pro-ducing timely data at minimum cost, a sample must be obtainedwhich will provide coverage of a sufficiently large segment of theuniverse to provide reasonably reliable estimates that can bepublished promptly and regularly. The present sample meetsthese specification for most industries. With its use, the BLS isable to produce preliminary estimates each month for many in-dustries and for many geographic levels within a few weeks afterreports are mailed by respondents, and at a somewhat later date,statistics in considerably greater industrial detail.

Coverage

The BLS sample of establishment employment and payrollsis the largest monthly sampling operation in the field of

social statistics. Table F shows the approximate proportionof total employment in each industry division covered bythe group of establishments furnishing monthly employmentdata. The coverage for individual industries within the divisionmay vary from the proportions shown.

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 in comput-ing the current month's estimate. Thus, small sampling and re-sponse errors may cumulate over several months. To remove thisaccumulated error, the estimates are adjusted annually to newbenchmarks. In addition to taking account of sampling andresponse errors, the benchmark revision adjusts the estimatesfor changes in the industrial classification of individual estab-lishments (resulting from changes in their product which arenot reflected in the levels of estimates until the data are adjustedto new benchmarks). In fact, at the more detailed industrylevels, particularly within manufacturing, changes in classifica-tion are the major cause of benchmark adjustments. Anothercause of. differences, generally minor, arises from improvementsin the quality of the benchmark data. Table H presents the aver-age percent revisions of the six most recent benchmarks for majorindustry divisions. Detailed descriptions of individual bench-mark revisions are available from the Bureau upon request.

recent benchmarks (1966-71).3 Estimates for government are based on a total count for

Federal Government and samples for State and local governmentbenchrnarked to a quinquennial census of government con-ducted by the Bureau of the Census.

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 hours

and earnings estimated, 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 presentedin table H and for individual industries with the specified num-ber of employees in table I. The chances are about 2 out of 3that the hours and earnings estimates from the sample woulddiffer by a smaller percentage than the relative error from theaverages that would have been obtained from a complete census.

One measure of the reliability of the employment estimates forindividual industries is the root-mean-square error (RMSE). Themeasure is the standard deviation adjusted for the bias in estimates

(RMSE=\/(Standard Deviation) 2 + (Bias) 2 ) .If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 that an esti-mate from the sample would differ from its benchmark by lessthan the root-mean-square error. The chances are about 19 outof 20 that the difference would be less than twice the root-mean-square error.

Approximations of the root-mean-square errors (based on theexperience of the last 6 years) of differences between final esti-mates and benchmarks are presented in table I.

For the most recent months, estimates of employment,hours, and earnings are preliminary and are so footnoted inthe tables. These figures are based on less than the total sam-ple and are revised when ail the reports in the sample havebeen received. Tabie J presents root-mean-square errors of theamounts of revisions that may be expected between the pre-liminary and final levels of employment and preliminary andfinal month-to-month changes. Revisions of preliminary hoursand earnings estimates are normally not greater than .1 of anhour for weekly hours and 1 cent for hourly earnings.

Reliability of job vacancy estimates

As with the employment estimates, the estimates derivedfrom the job vacancy survey may differ from the figures thatwould have been obtained if it were possible to take a com-plete census using the same schedules and procedures.

Measures of reliability for the job vacancy estimates aregiven by the relative errors in table K. The chances areabout 2 out of 3 that an estimate from the sample would differfrom a complete census by a smaller percentage than the relativeerror. The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the differencewould be a smaller percentage than twice the relative error.

Unemployment Insurance Data

Insured unemployment represents the number of personsreporting a week of unemployment under an unemployment in-surance program. It includes some persons who are working parttime 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 coverageare those persons engaged in agriculture, domestic service, un-paid family work, selected nonprofit organizations, State andlocal government and self-employment. Also excluded fromthe insured unemployment count, but included as employed inthe household survey, are those persons who earned no wagesduring the payroll period because they were temporarily absentfrom their jobs due to taking time off, illness and industrialdispute as well as unpaid vacations. The rate of insured un-employment is the number of insured unemployed expressed

as a percent of average covered employment in a 12-monthperiod ending 6 to 8 months prior to the week of reference.Initial claims are notices filed by those losing jobs covered by anunemployment insurance program that they are starting aperiod of unemployment. A claimant who continued to beunemployed a full week is then counted in the insured un-employment figure.

Because of differences in State laws and procedures underwhich unemployment insurance programs are operated, State un-employment rates generally indicate, but do not precisely mea-ure, differences among the individual States. Persons wishing toreceive a detailed description of the nature, sources, inclusionsand exclusions, and limitations of unemployment insurance datashould address their inquiries to Manpower Administration,Washington, D.C. 20210.

Seasonal Adjustments

SEASONAL ADJUSTMENTS

Many economic statistics reflect a regularly recurring sea-sonal movement which can be estimated on the basis of pastexperience. By eliminating that part of the change which canbe ascribed to usual seasonal variation, it is possible to ob-serve the cyclical and other nonseasonal movements jn theseries. However, in evaluating deviations from the seasonalpattern—that is, changes in a seasonally adjusted series—it is important to note that seasonal adjustment is merely anapproximation based on past experience. Seasonally adjustedestimates have a broader margin of possible error than theoriginal data on which they are based, since they are subjectnot only to sampling and other errors but, in addition, areaffected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjustment proc-ess itself. Seasonally adjusted series for selected labor forceand establishment data are published regularly in Employmentand Earnings.

The seasonal adjustment method used for these series isan adaptation of the standard ratio-to-moving average method,with a provision for "moving" adjustment factors to takeaccount of changing seasonal patterns. A detailed descriptionof the method is given in the booklet, The BLS SeasonalFactor Method (1966), which may be obtained from theBureau on request.

For each of the three major labor force components—agri-cultural and nonagricultural employment and unemployment—data for four age-sex groups (male and female workers underage 20 and age 20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonalvariation and are then added to give seasonally adjusted totalfigures. In order to produce seasonally adjusted total employ-ment and civilian labor force data, the appropriate series areaggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment isderived by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total un-employment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex com-ponents) by the figure for the seasonally adjusted civilian laborforce (the sum of twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).

The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data arebased on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors arerevised in the light of the pattern revealed by subsequent data.Revised seasonally adjusted series for major components of thelabor force based on data through December 1971 are publishedin the February 1972 Employment and Earnings. Revisions willbe made annually as each additional year's data become available.

For establishment data, the seasonally adjusted series onhours, hourly earnings, number of job vacancies, and labor

turnover rates for industry groupings are computed by applyingfactors directly to the corresponding unadjusted series. However,seasonally adjusted employment totals for all employees andproduction workers by industry division are obtained bysumming seasonally adjusted data for the component indt ies.Seasonally adjusted average weekly earnings are the prc Jetof seasonally adjusted average hourly earnings and averageweekly hours. Average weekly earnings in constant dollars,seasonally adjusted, are .obtained by dividing seasonally adjustedaverage weekly earnings by the seasonally adjusted ConsumerPrice Index. Indexes of aggregate weekly man-hours, seasonallyadjusted, are obtained by multiplying average weekly hours,seasonally adjusted, by production or nonsupervisroy workers,seasonally adjusted, and dividing by the 1967 base. For totalprivate, total goods producing, total private service producing,trade, manufacturing, and durable and nondurable goods theindexes of aggregate weekly man-hours, seasonally adjusted,are obtained by summing the aggregate weekly man-hours,seasonally adjusted, for the appropriate component industriesand dividing by the 1967 base.

The seasonally adjusted establishment data for FederalGovernment are based on a series which excludes the Christmastemporary help employed by the Postal Service in December.The employment of these workers constitutes the only signif-icant 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.

Seasonally adjusted job vacancy rates are computed bydividing the seasonally adjusted number of job vacancies bythe sum of seasonally adjusted employment and job vacanciesand multiplying the quotient by 100. Seasonally adjusted long-term job vacancy rates are computed by dividing the seasonally'adjusted long-term job vacancies by the sum of seasonally ad-justed employment and total job vacancies and multiplying thequotient by 100.

The revised seasonally adjusted series for the establishmentdata reflect experience through June 1972. Seasonal factorsto be used for current adjustment are shown in the October1972 Employment and Earnings, and revisions will be madecoincidental with the adjustment of series to new benchmarklevels.

ATTENTION

As discussed in the Technical Note, the Bureau periodicallyadjusts the industry employment series to a recent benchmarkto improve their accuracy. These adjustments may also affectthe hours, earnings, job vacancy, and labor turnover series be-cause employment levels are used as weights. Industry datafor all national series shown in this report have been ad-justed to March 1971 benchmarks. Data from April 1971

forward are subject to revision at the time of the nextbenchmark.

Beginning with the October 1972 and subsequent issues ofEmployment and Earnings, the national data in Sections B, C,and D supersede those published in previous issues, as well asthose appearing in the Handbook of Labor Statistics. 1972.Comparable data will be published in Employment and Earnings,United States, 1909-72, BLS Bulletin 1312-9.
