Employment and UnemploymentDevelopments, June 1985

Nonfarm payroll employment was about unchangedin June, and unemployment remained at the level thathas prevailed since February. The overall unemploy-ment rate was 7.2 percent and the civilian worker ratewas 7.3 percent.

The number of nonagricultural wage and salary jobs—as measured by the survey of establishments,—totaled97.5 million after seasonal adjustment, about the same asin the previous month. Civilian employment—asmeasured by the household survey—rose by less thanseasonally expected and, after seasonal adjustment,declined by 590,000 to 106.4 million.

UnemploymentFor the fifth month in a row, the level of unemploy-

ment totaled 8.4 million and the civilian workerunemployment rate was 7.3 percent. There werechanges, however, among some labor force groups,most of which reversed movements that had occurred inthe previous month. For example, the jobless rate formen 25 to 54 years rose, after declining the monthbefore; conversely, the unemployment rate for youth 16to 24 years of age, which had risen in May, droppedback in June. The unemployment rate for adult womenwas little changed over the month; it has held stableover the first half of the year. (See tables A-33 andA-38.)

The jobless rate for white workers rose to 6.5 percent,while the Hispanic rate held at 10.6 percent. The rate forblack workers, which is often quite volatile, registeredan unusually large decline to 14.0 percent. (See tableA-34.)

Consistent with the decline in youth unemploymentwas a reduction in the unemployed who were new orreentrants to the labor force. In contrast, the number ofunemployed job losers increased to 4.1 million in June,after falling in the previous month. These measuresreturned to the levels that prevailed earlier in the year.The median duration of unemployment inched up inJune, after falling for several months. (See tables A-40and A-41.)

Part-time employment for economic reasons declinedin June on a seasonally adjusted basis, following an in-crease in May. This group includes both persons whosehours have been cut back due to slack work and thosewho have opted to work part time because they wereunable to find full-time jobs. (See table A-35.)

Civilian employment and the labor forceCivilian employment and the labor force rose by less

from May to June than in recent years, and, afterseasonal adjustment, there was a decline of 590,000 inboth series.

Adult men and teenagers registered employmentdeclines on a seasonally adjusted basis. The overallemployment-population ratio, which had reached arecord high of 60.3 percent in March, dropped back to59.7 percent in June, about the same level as during thelast half of 1984.

The over-the-month decline in the labor force wasconcentrated among teenagers. Labor force participa-tion among teenagers this June was more than 2 percen-tage points below the level of a year ago. The laborforce grew by 1.2 million over the year, with increasesamong adult men and women. (See table A-33.)

Discouraged workersThe number of discouraged workers—those who

want to work but are not looking for jobs because theyfeel they cannot find work—edged down to 1.1 millionin the second quarter, the lowest level in nearly 4 years.Seven out of 10 discouraged workers cited job marketfactors, while the rest listed personal factors, as theirreasons for being discouraged. (See table A-53.)

Industry payroll employmentTotal nonagricultural payroll employment was vir-

tually unchanged in June at 97.5 million, after seasonaladjustment. Job growth continued in the service-producing sector, though at a slower pace, and therewas a further decline in manufacturing. Job expansionoccurred in slightly less than half of the industries in theBLS index of diffusion. (See tables B-4 and B-7.)

The services industry again showed employmentgrowth, gaining 85,000 jobs in June. At 21.9 million,employment in services was 1.2 million higher than ayear earlier and has risen at a rapid pace throughout therecovery. Moderate increases in employment took placein wholesale trade and in finance, insurance, and realestate.

Manufacturing employment fell by 45,000 in June,bringing the decrease since the end of last year to220,000. The largest over-the-month declines were inelectrical and electronic equipment (20,000) and


machinery (15,000), both of which have been losing jobsin recent months after showing strong gains earlier inthe recovery period. The number of construction jobswas about unchanged in June, following steady growthwhich continued into 1985, adding close to 200,000 jobsin the first 5 months of the year.

Weekly hoursThe average workweek of production or nonsuper-

visory workers on private nonagricultural payrolls edg-ed up a tenth of an hour in June, seasonally adjusted.Both weekly hours in manufacturing and factory over-time also increased a tenth of an hour. (See table C-5.)

The index of aggregate weekly hours of production ornonsupervisory workers on private nonfarm payrollsrose 0.3 percent in June to 116.5 (1977=100). Themanufacturing index was unchanged at 93.5 and hasdeclined by 2.1 percent since December. (See table C-6.)

Hourly and weekly earningsAverage hourly earnings increased by 0.2 percent in

June and average weekly earnings increased by 0.5 per-cent, seasonally adjusted. Prior to seasonal adjustment,average hourly earnings rose by one cent to $8.55, andaverage weekly earnings were up $2.92 to $302.67. Overthe past year, hourly earnings have risen by 25 cents andweekly earnings by $8.02. (See tables C-l and C-7.)

The Hourly Earnings IndexThe Hourly Earnings Index (HEI) was 165.4

(1977= 100) in June, seasonally adjusted, an increase of0.3 percent from May. For the 12 months ended in June,the increase (before seasonal adjustment) was 3.1 per-cent. The HEI excludes the effects of two types of changesunrelated to underlying wage rate movements—fluctua-tions in overtime in manufacturing and interindustryemployment shifts. In dollars of constant purchasingpower, the HEI decreased 0.9 percent during the12-month period ended in May. (See table C-7.)


New Seasonal Adjustment Factorsfor Household Data Series

"Robert J.Mclntire

Semiannually, the Bureau of Labor Statisticspublishes the factors to be used during the following 6months for seasonal adjustment of the major laborforce series. Table 1 presents these seasonal adjustmentfactors for the 12 major labor force components for July-December 1985. The factors which were used for thesecomponents during the first 6 months of 1985 werepublished in the January 1985 issue of Employment andEarnings, The 12 seasonally adjusted series which resultfrom the application of these factors are used in thecomputation of the seasonally adjusted figures for thenational unemployment level and for the overall andcivilian employment and labor force levels andunemployment rates. The overall measures include theresident Armed Forces in the employed segment of thelabor force, but seasonal factors are not calculated forthe resident Armed Forces data since they are con-sidered to have no seasonal component.

The new seasonal factors have been extrapolated us-ing the X-ll ARIMA program with data through June1985 for each series. The ARIMA models used were thesame as those used at the beginning of the year for theextrapolation of the factors for January through June;they were identified in the January issue of this publica-tion. The historical seasonally adjusted data, includingthe first 6 months of 1985, will not be revised until thebeginning of 1986. More detailed information on theadjustment method, the procedures for aggregation,and the revision of historical data is included in theJanuary 1985 issue in the article entitled "Revision ofSeasonally Adjusted Labor Force Series.''

NOTE: Male Vietnam-era veterans are men who served in theArmed Forces between August 5, 1964 and May 7, 1975. Nonveteransare men who have never served in the Armed Forces; published dataare limited to those 30 to 44 years of age, the group that most closelycorresponds to the bulk of the Vietnam-era veteran population. Data

for 25- to 29-year-old veterans are no longer shown in this tablebecause the group is rapidly disppearing (into the 30-34 age category)and the numbers remaining for some labor force categories are notlarge enough to warrant their continued publication.

Explanatory Notes

Introduction

The statistics in this periodical are compiled from twomajor sources: (1) Household interviews, and (2)reports from employers.

Data based on household interviews are obtainedfrom a sample survey of the population 16 years of ageand over. The survey is conducted each month by theBureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statisticsand provides comprehensive data on the labor force, theemployed, and the unemployed, including suchcharacteristics as age, sex, race, family relationship,marital status, occupation, and industry attachment.The survey also provides data on the characteristics andpast work experience of those not in the labor force.The information is collected by trained interviewers fora sample of about 59,500 households, representing 729areas in 1,973 counties and independent cities, withcoverage in 50 States and the District of Columbia. Thedata collected are based on the activity or statusreported for the calendar week including the 12th of themonth.

Data based on establishment records are compiledeach month from mail questionnaires by the Bureau ofLabor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. Theestablishment survey is designed to provide industry in-formation on nonagricultural wage and salary employ-ment, average weekly hours, average hourly earnings,and average weekly earnings for the Nation, States, andmetropolitan areas. The employment, hours, and earn-ings series are currently based on payroll reports from asample of over 200,000 establishments employing over35 million nonagricultural wage and salary workers.The data relate to all workers, full- or part-time, whoreceived pay during the payroll period which includesthe 12th day of the month.

RELATION BETWEEN THE HOUSEHOLD ANDESTABLISHMENT SERIES

The household and establishment data supplementone another, each providing significant types of infor-mation that the other cannot suitably supply. Popula-tion characteristics, for example, are readily obtainedonly from the household survey whereas detailed in-dustrial classifications can be reliably derived only fromestablishment reports.

Data from these two sources differ from each other

because of differences in definitions and coverage,sources of information, methods of collection, andestimating procedures. Sampling variability andresponse errors are additional reasons for discrepancies.The major factors which have a differential effect onthe levels and trends of the two series are as follows.

Employment

Coverage. The household survey definition of employ-ment comprises wage and salary workers (includingdomestics and other private household workers), self-employed persons, unpaid workers who worked 15hours or more during the survey week in family-operated enterprises, and members of the Armed Forcesstationed in the United States. Civilian employment inboth agricultural and nonagricultural industries is in-cluded. The payroll survey covers only wage and salaryemployees on the payrolls of nonagriculturalestablishments.

Multiple jobholding. The household survey provides in-formation on the work status of the population withoutduplication, since each person is classified as employed,unemployed, or not in the labor force. Employed per-sons holding more than one job are counted only onceand are classified according the job at which they work-ed the greatest number of hours during the survey week.In the figures based on establishment reports, personswho worked in more than one establishment during thereporting period are counted each time their names ap-pear on payrolls.

Unpaid absences from jobs. The household survey in-cludes among the employed all civilians who had jobsbut were not at work during the survey week—that is,were not working but had jobs from which they weretemporarily absent because of illness, bad weather,vacation, labor-management disputes, or because theywere taking time off for various other reasons, even ifthey were not paid by their employers for the time off.In the figures based on payroll reports, persons on leavepaid for by the company are included, but not those onleave without pay for the entire payroll period.

For a comprehensive discussion of the differencesbetween household and establishment survey employ-ment data, see Gloria P. Green's article "ComparingEmployment Estimates From Household and PayrollSurveys," Monthly Labor Review, December 1969.

141


Hours of workThe household survey measures hours actually work-

ed whereas the payroll survey measures hours paid forby employers. In the household survey data, all personswith a job but not at work are excluded from the hoursdistributions and the computations of average hours. Inthe payroll survey, production or nonsupervisoryemployees on paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sickleave are included and assigned the number of hours forwhich they were paid during the reporting period.

EarningsThe household survey measures median earnings of

wage and salary workers in all occupations and in-dustries in both the private and public sectors. Datarefer to the usual earnings received from the worker'ssole or primary job. Data from the establishment surveygenerally refer to average earnings of production andrelated workers in mining and manufacturing, construc-tion workers in construction, and nonsupervisoryemployees in private service-producing industries. For acomprehensive discussion of the household survey earn-ings series, see Technical Description of the QuarterlyData on Weekly Earnings from the Current PopulationSurvey, BLS Bulletin 2113.

COMPARABILITY OF THE HOUSEHOLD DATAWITH OTHER SERIES

Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed totalfrom the household survey includes all persons who didnot have a job at all during the survey week and werelooking for work or were waiting to be called back to ajob from which they had been laid off, whether or notthey were eligible for unemployment insurance. Figureson unemployment insurance claims, prepared by theEmployment and Training Administration of theDepartment of Labor, exclude persons who have ex-hausted their benefit rights, new workers who have notearned rights to unemployment insurance, and personslosing jobs not covered by unemployment insurancesystems (some workers in agriculture, domestic services,and religious organizations, and self-employed and un-paid family workers). Beginning in January 1978,coverage was extended to include domestic workerswhose employers paid $1,000 or more in wages in anycalendar quarter, agricultural employees whoseemployers engaged 10 or more workers in 20 weeks orpaid a total of $20,000 or more in wages in any calendarquarter, and almost all State and local governmentemployees.

In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemploy-ment compensation differ from the definition ofunemployment used in the household survey. For exam-ple, persons with a job but not at work and personsworking only a few hours during the week are

sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation butare classified as employed rather than unemployed inthe household survey.

For an examination of the similarities and differencesbetween State insured unemployment and totalunemployment, see "Measuring Total and State InsuredUnemployment" by Gloria P. Green in the June 1971issue of the Monthly Labor Review.

Agricultural employment estimates of the Departmentof Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage arethe inclusion of persons under 16 in the Economics andStatistics Service series and the treatment of dualjobholders, who are counted more than once if theywork on more than one farm during the reportingperiod. There are also wide differences in samplingtechniques and collecting and estimating methods,which cannot be readily measured in terms of their im-pact on differences in the levels and trends of the twoseries.

COMPARABILITY OF THE PAYROLL EMPLOY-MENT DATA WITH OTHER SERIES

Statistics on manufactures and business, Bureau of theCensus, BLS establishment statistics on employment dif-fer from employment counts derived by the Bureau ofCensus from its censuses or sample surveys of manufac-turing and business establishments. The major reasonsfor noncomparability are different treatment ofbusiness units considered parts of an establishment,such as central administrative offices and auxiliaryunits, the industrial classification of establishments, anddifferent reporting patterns by multiunit companies.There are also differences in the scope of the industriescovered, e.g., the Census of Business excludes profes-sional services, public utilities, and financialestablishments, whereas these are included in the BLSstatistics.

County Business Patterns, Data in County BusinessPatterns (CBP), published by the Bureau of the Census,U.S. Department of Commerce, differ from BLSestablishment statistics in the treatment of central ad-ministrative offices and auxiliary units. Differences mayalso arise because of industrial classification and repor-ting practices. In addition, CBP excludes interstaterailroads and government, and coverage is incompletefor some of the nonprofit activities.

Employment covered by State unemployment insuranceprograms. Most nonagricultural wage and salaryworkers are covered by the unemployment insuranceprograms. However, certain activities, such as interstaterailroads, parochial schools, and churches are notcovered by unemployment insurance whereas these areincluded in the BLS establishment statistics.

Household Data(A tables)

COLLECTION AND COVERAGEStatistics on the employment status of the population,

the personal, occupational, and other characteristics ofthe employed, the unemployed, and persons not in thelabor force, and related data are compiled for the BLS bythe Bureau of the Census in its Current PopulationSurvey (CPS). A detailed description of this survey ap-pears in Concepts and Methods Used in Labor ForceStatistics Derived from the Current Population Survey,BLS Report 463. Historical national data are publishedin Labor Force Statistics Derived From the CurrentPopulation Survey: A Databook, BLS Bulletin 2096.

These monthly surveys of the population are con-ducted with a scientifically selected sample designed torepresent the civilian noninstitutional population.Respondents are interviewed to obtain informationabout the employment status of each member of thehousehold 16 years of age and over. Separate statisticsare also collected for 14- and 15-year-olds. The inquiryrelates to activity or status during the calendar week,Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th ofthe month. This is known as the survey week. Actualfield interviewing is conducted in the following week.

Inmates of institutions and persons under 14 years ofage are not covered in the regular monthly enumera-tions, and are excluded from the population and laborforce statistics shown in this report. Data on themembers of the Armed Forces stationed in the UnitedStates, who are included as part of the categories"noninstitutional population," "labor force/' and"total employment." are obtained from the Depart-ment of Defense.

Each month about 59,500 occupied units are eligiblefor interview. About 2,500 of these households arevisited but interviews are not obtained because the oc-cupants are not at home after repeated calls or areunavailable for other reasons. This represents anoninterview rate for the survey of between 4 or 5 per-cent. In addition to the 59,500 occupied units, there are11,000 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 sam-ple to be common from 1 month to the next and onehalf to be common with the same month a year earlier.

CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONSThe concepts and definitions underlying labor force

data have been modified, but not substantially altered,since the inception of the survey in 1940; those used

since 1967 are as follows:Employed persons are (a) all civilians who, during the

survey week, did any work at all as paid employees, intheir own business, profession, or on their own farm, orwho worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in anenterprise operated by a member of the family; and (b)all those who were not working but who had jobs orbusinesses from which they were temporarily absentbecause of illness, bad weather, vacation, labor-management disputes, or personal reasons, whetherthey were paid for the time off or were seeking otherjobs. Members of the Armed Forces stationed in theUnited States are also included in the employed total.

Each employed person is counted only once. Thosewho held more than one job are counted in the job atwhich they worked the greatest number of hours duringthe survey week.

Included in the total are employed citizens of foreigncountries who are temporarily in the United States butnot living on the premises of an embassy. Excluded arepersons whose only activity consisted of work aroundthe house (painting, repairing, or own homehousework) or volunteer work for religious, charitable,and similar organizations.

Unemployed persons are all civilians who had noemployment during the survey week, were available forwork, except for temporary illness, and (a) had madespecific efforts to find employment someting during theprior 4 weeks, or (b) were waiting to be recalled to a jobfrom which they had been laid off, or (c) were waiting toreport to a new job within 30 days.

Duration of unemployment represents the length oftime (through the current survey week) during whichpersons classified as unemployed had been continuouslylooking for work. For persons on layoff, duration ofunemployment represents the number of full weekssince the termination of their most recent employment.A period of 2 weeks or more during which a person wasemployed or ceased looking for work is considered tobreak the continuity of the present period of seekingwork. Measurements of mean and median duration arecomputed from a distribution of single weeks ofunemployment.

Unemployment is also categorized according to thestatus of individuals at the time they began to look forwork. The reasons for unemployment are divided intofour major groups. (1) Job losers are persons whoseemployment ended involuntarily who immediatelybegan looking for work, and persons on layoff. (2) Jobleavers are persons who quit or otherwise terminated

143


their employment voluntarily and immediately beganlooking for work. (3) Reentrants are persons whopreviously worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks orlonger but were out of the labor force prior to beginningto look for work. (4) New entrants are persons whonever worked at a full-time job lasting 2 weeks orlonger. Each of these four categories of the unemployedmay be expressed as an unemployment rate or propor-tion of the entire civilian labor force; the sum of thefour rates thus equals the unemployment rate for allcivilian workers.

Jobseekers are all unemployed persons who madespecific efforts to find a job sometime during the 4-weekperiod preceding the survey week. Jobseekers do not in-clude those persons unemployed because they (a) werewaiting to be called back to a job from which they hadbeen laid off or (b) were waiting to report to a new jobwithin 30 days. Jobseekers are grouped by the methodsused to seek work, including going to a public or privateemployment agency or to an employer directly, seekingassistance from friends or relatives, placing or answer-ing ads, or utilizing some other method. Examples ofthe "other" category include being on a union or pro-fessional register, obtaining assistance from a communi-ty organization, or waiting at a designated labor pickuppoint.

The civilian labor force comprises all civiliansclassified as employed or unemployed in accordancewith the criteria described above. The labor force alsoincludes members of the Armed Forces stationed in theUnited States.

The overall unemployment rate represents thenumber unemployed as a percent of the labor force, in-cluding members of the Armed Forces stationed in theUnited States.

The unemployment rate for all civilian workersrepresents the number unemployed as a percent of thecivilian labor force. This measure can also be computedfor groups within the labor force classified by sex, age,race, Hispanic origin, marital status, etc.

Participation rates represent the proportion of thepopulation that is in the labor force. The labor forceparticipation rate is the ratio of the labor force, in-cluding the resident Armed Forces, to the noninstitu-tional population. The civilian labor force participationrate is the ratio of the civilian labor force to the civiliannoninstitutional population. Civilian labor force par-ticipation rates are usually published for sex-age groups,often cross-classified by other demographiccharacteristics such as race and educational attainment.

Employment-population ratios represent the propor-tion of the noninstitutional population that isemployed. The total employment-population ratio istotal employment, including the resident Armed Forces,

as a percent of the noninstitutional population. Thecivilian employment-population ratio is the percentageof all employed civilians in the civilian noninstitutionalpopulation.

Not in the labor force includes all persons who are notclassified as employed or unemployed. These personsare further classified as engaged in own homehousework, in school, unable to work because of long-term physical or mental illness, retired, and other. The"other" group includes individuals reported as too oldor temporarily unable to work, the voluntarily idle,seasonal workers for whom the survey week fell in anoff season and who were not reported as looking forwork, and persons who did not look for work becausethey believed that no jobs were available in the area orthat no jobs were available for which they couldqualify—discouraged workers. Persons doing only in-cidental, unpaid family work (less than 15 hours in thespecified week) are also classified as not in labor force.

For persons not in the labor force, data on previouswork experience, intentions to seek work, desire for ajob at the time of interview, and reasons for not lookingfor work are published on a quarterly basis. As ofJanuary 1970, the detailed questions for persons not inthe labor force are asked only in those households thatare in the fourth and eighth months of the sample, i.e.,the "outgoing" groups, those which had been in thesample for 3 previous months and would not be in forthe subsequent month. Between 1967 and 1969 thesequestions were asked in those households entering thesample for the first time and those returning for the se-cond 4 months of interviewing, i.e., the "incoming"groups.

Occupation, industry, and class of worker for theemployed apply to the job held in the survey week. Per-sons with two or more jobs are classified in the job atwhich they worked the greatest number of hours duringthe survey week. The unemployed are classified accord-ing to their last full-time job lasting 2 weeks or more.The classifications of occupations and industries used indata derived from the CPS are defined as in the 1980 cen-sus. Information on the detailed categories included inthese groups is available upon request.

The class-of-worker breakdown specifies wage andsalary workers subdivided into private and governmentworkers; self-employed workers; and unpaid familyworkers. Wage and salary workers receive wages,salary, commission, tips, or pay in kind from a privateemployer or from a government unit. Self-employedpersons are those who work for profit or fees in theirown business, profession, or trade, or operate a farm.Unpaid family workers are persons working withoutpay for 15 hours a week or more on a farm or in abusiness operated by a member of the household to

144


whom they are related by birth or marriage.Hours of work statistics relate to the actual number

of hours worked during the survey week. For example,persons who normally work 40 hours a week but wereoff on the Columbus Day holiday would be reported asworking 32 hours even though they were paid for theholiday. For persons working in more than one job, thefigures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobsduring the week; all the hours are credited to the majorjob.

The distribution of employment by hours workedrelates to persons at work during the survey week. Atwork data differ from data on total employmentbecause the latter include persons in the zero-hours-worked category, with a job but not at work. Includedin this latter group are persons who were on vacation,ill, involved in a labor dispute, or otherwise absent fromtheir jobs for voluntary, noneconomic reasons.

Persons who worked 35 hours or more in the surveyweek are designated as working full time. Persons whoworked between 1 and 34 hours are designated as work-ing part time. Part-time workers are classified by theirusual status at their present job (either full or part time)and by their reason for working part time during thesurvey week (economic or other reasons). Economicreasons include: Slack work, material shortages, repairsto plant or equipment, start or termination of a job dur-ing the week, and inability to find full-time work. Otherreasons include: Labor dispute, bad weather, own ill-ness, vacation, demands of home, housework, school,no desire for full-time work, and full-time worker onlyduring peak season. Persons on full-time schedules in-clude, in addition to those working 35 hours or more,those who worked from 1 to 34 hours for noneconomicreasons and usually work full time.

The full-time labor force consists of persons workingon full-time schedules, persons involuntarily workingpart time (part time for economic reasons), andunemployed persons seeking full-time jobs. The part-time labor force consists of persons working part timevoluntarily and unemployed persons seeking part-timework. Persons with a job but not at work during thesurvey week are classified according to whether theyusually work full or part time.

Labor force time lost is a measure of aggregate hourslost to the economy through unemployment and in-voluntary part-time employment and is expressed as apercent of potentially available aggregate hours. It iscomputed by assuming that; (1) unemployed personslooking for full-time work lost an average of 37.5 hours,(2) those working for part-time work lost the averagenumber of hours actually worked by voluntary part-time workers during the survey week, and (3) persons onpart time for economic reasons lost the difference bet-ween 37.5 hours and the actual number of hours theyworked.

White, black, and other are terms used to describe therace of workers. Included in the "other" group areAmerican Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asians andPacific Islanders. All tables in this publication whichcontain racial data, with the exception of A-5 and its an-nual counterpart, present data for the black populationgroup. Because of their relatively small sample size,data for "other" races are not published. In theenumeration process, race is determined by thehousehold respondent.

Hispanic origin refers to persons who identifiedthemselves in the enumeration process as Mexican,Puerto Rican living on the mainland, Cuban, Central orSouth American, or of other Hispanic origin or descent.Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race; thusthey are included in both the white and black populationgroups.

Vietnam-era veterans are those who served in theArmed Forces of the United States between August 5,1964, and May 7, 1975. Data are limited to men in thecivilian noninstitutional population; i.e., veterans in in-stitutions and women are excluded. Nonveterans aremen who never served in the Armed Forces.

Usual weekly earnings data are provided fromresponses to the question "How much does .. .USUAL-LY earn per week at this job before deductions?" In-cluded are any overtime pay, commissions, or tipsusually received. The term "usual" is as perceived bythe respondent. If the respondent asks for a definitionof usual, interviewers are instructed to define the termas more than half the weeks worked during the past 4 or5 months. Data refer to wage and salary workers (ex-cluding the incorporated self-employed) who usuallywork full time on their sole or primary job.

Median earnings indicate the value which divides theearnings distribution into two equal parts, one part hav-ing values above the median and the other having valuesbelow the median. The medians as shown in thispublication are calculated by linear interpolation of the$10 interval within which each median falls.

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers(CPI-U) is used to deflate the earnings series.

Single, never married; married, spouse present; andother marital status are terms used to define the maritalstatus of individuals at the time of interview. Married,spouse present, applies to husband and wife if both werereported as members of the same household eventhough one may be temporarily absent on business,vacation, on a visit, in a hospital, etc. Other maritalstatus applies to persons who are married, spouse ab-sent; widowed; or divorced. Married, spouse absent, in-cludes persons \vlio are separated because of maritaldiscord, as well as persons who are living apart becauseeither the husband or the wife was employed and livingaway from home, serving in the Armed Forces, or had adifferent place of residence for any reason.

A household consists of all persons—related familymembers and all unrelated persons—who occupy ahousing unit. A house, an apartment, a group of rooms,or a single room is regarded as a housing unit when oc-cupied or intended for occupancy as separate livingquarters.

A householder is the person (or one of the persons) inwhose name the housing unit is owned or rented. Theterm is never applied to either husbands or wives inmarried-couple families but relates only to persons infamilies maintained by either men or women without aspouse.

Family refers to a group of two or more personsresiding together who are related by birth, marriage, oradoption; all such persons are considered as members ofone family even though they may include a related sub-family, that is, a married couple or a parent-child grouprelated by birth or marriage to the householder andsharing the living quarters. The count of families used inthis publication excludes unrelated subfamilies such aslodgers, guests, or resident employees living in ahousehold but not related to the householder. Familiesare classified either as married-couple families or asfamilies maintained by women or men without spouses.A family maintained by a woman or a man is one inwhich the householder is either single, widowed, divorc-ed, or married, spouse absent. Data on the earnings offamilies exclude all those in which there is no wage orsalary earner or in which the husband, wife, or otherpersons maintaining the family is either self-employedor in the Armed Forces.

HISTORICAL COMPARABILITY

Change in lower age limitThe lower age limit for official statistics on the labor

force, employment, and unemployment was raised from14 to 16 years of age in January 1967. Insofar as possi-ble, historical series have been revised to provide consis-tent information based on the population 16 years andover. For a detailed discussion of this and other defini-tional changes introduced at that time, includingestimates of their effect on the various series, see "NewDefinitions for Employment and Unemployment,"Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on theLabor Force, February 1967.

Noncomparability of labor force levelsIn addition to the changes introduced in 1967, there

are several other periods of noncomparability in thelabor force data: (1) Beginning in 1953, as a result of in-troducing data from the 1950 census into the estimatingprocedures, population levels were raised by about600,000; labor force, total employment, andagricultural employment were increased by about350,000, primarily affecting the figures for totals and

men; other categories were relatively unaffected. (2)Beginning in 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaiiresulted in an increase of about 500,000 in the popula-tion and about 300,000 in the labor force, four-fifths ofthis increase was in nonagricultural employment; otherlabor force categories were not appreciably affected. (3)Beginning in 1962, the introduction of data from the1960 census reduced the population by about 50,000 andlabor force and employment by about 200,000;unemployment totals were virtually unchanged. (4)Beginning in 1972, information from the 1970 censuswas introduced into the estimation procedures, increas-ing the population by about 800,000; labor force andemployment totals were raised by a little more than300,000; and unemployment levels and rates were essen-tially unchanged. (5) A subsequent population adjust-ment based on the 1970 census was introduced in March1973. This adjustment, which affected the white andblack-and-other groups but had little effect on totals,resulted in the reduction of nearly 300,000 in the whitepopulation and an increase of the same magnitude in theblack-and-other population. Civilian labor force andtotal employment figures were affected to a lesserdegree; the white labor force was reduced by 150,000,and the black-and-other labor force rose by about210,000. Unemployment levels and rates were notsignificantly affected.

In addition, beginning in January 1974, themethodology used to prepare independent estimates ofthe civilian noninstitutional population was modified toan inflation-deflation approach. This change in thederivation of the estimates had its greatest impact onestimates of 20- to 24-year-old men—particularly thoseof the black-and-other population—but had little effecton estimates of the total population 16 years and over.Additional information on the adjustment procedureappears in "CPS Population Controls Derived fromInflation-Deflation Method of Estimation", in theFebruary 1974 issue of Employment and Earnings.

Effective in July 1975, as a result of the immigrationof Vietnamese refugees into the United States, the totaland black-and-other independent population controlsfor persons 16 years and over were adjusted upward by76,000—30,000 men and 46,000 women. The additionof the refugees increased the black-and-other popula-tion by less than 1 percent in any age-sex group, and allof the changes were in the other population.

Beginning in January 1978, the introduction of an ex-pansion in the sample and revisions in the estimationprocedures resulted in an increase of about 250,000 inthe civilian labor force and employment totals;unemployment levels and rates were essentially un-changed. An explanation of the procedural changes andan indication of the differences appear in "Revisions inthe Current Population Survey in January 1978" in theFebruary 1978 issue of Employment and Earnings.

Beginning in October 1978, the race of the individualwas determined by the household respondent for the in-coming rotation group households, rather than by theinterviewer as before. The purpose of this change was toprovide more accurate estimates of characteristics byrace. Thus, in October 1978, one-eighth of the samplehouseholds had race determined by the householdrespondent and seven-eighths of the sample householdshad race determined by interviewer observation. It wasnot until January 1980 that the entire sample had racedetermined by the household respondent. The new pro-cedure had no significant effect on the estimates.

Beginning in January 1979, the first-stage ratioestimation method was changed in the CPS estimationprocedure. Differences between the old and new pro-cedures existed only for metropolitan andnonmetropolitan area estimates, not for the total UnitedStates. The reasoning behind the change and an indica-tion of the differences appear in ''Revisions in the Cur-rent Population Survey in January 1979" in theFebruary 1979 issue of Employment and Earnings.

Beginning in January 1982, the second-stage ratio ad-justment methodology was changed in the CPS estima-tion procedure. The purpose of the change and an in-dication of its effect on national estimates of labor forcecharacteristics appear in "Revisions in the CurrentPopulation Survey Beginning in January 1982" in theFebruary 1982 issue of Employment and Earnings. Inaddition, current population estimates used in thesecond-stage estimation procedure are derived from in-formation obtained from the 1980 census, rather thanthe 1970 census. This change caused substantial in-creases in total population and estimates of persons inall labor force categories. Rates for labor forcecharacteristics, however, remained virtually unchanged.Some 30,000 labor force series were adjusted back to1970 to avoid major breaks in series. The adjustmentprocedure used is also described in the February 1982article cited above. The revisions did not, however,smooth out the breaks in series occurring between 1972and 1979 that are described above, and data usersshould make allowances for them in making certaindata comparisons.

Beginning in January 1983, the first-stage ratio ad-justment methodology was updated to account forresults obtained from the 1980 census. The purpose ofthe change and an indication of its effect on nationalestimates of labor force characteristics appear in "Revi-sions in the Current Population Survey Beginning inJanuary 1983" in the February 1983 issue of Employ-ment and Earnings. Inhere were only slight differencesbetween the old and new procedures in estimates oflevels for the various labor force characteristics and vir-tually no differences in estimates of participation rates.

Beginning in January 1985, most of the steps of theCPS estimation procedure—the noninterview adjust-

ment, the first and second-stage ratio adjustments, andthe composite estimator—-were revised. The new pro-cedures are described in the Estimating Methods sec-tion. A description of the changes and an indication oftheir effect on national estimates of labor forcecharacteristics appear in "Changes in the EstimationProcedure in the Current Population Survey Beginningin January 1985" in the February 1985 issue of thispublication. Overall, the revisions had only a slight ef-fect on most estimates. The greatest impact was onestimates of persons of Hispanic origin, which havebeen revised, to the extent possible, back to January1980.

Changes in the occupational and industrialclassification system

Beginning in 1971, the comparability of occupationalemployment data was affected as a result of changes inthe occupational classification system for the 1970 cen-sus that were introduced into the CPS. Comparabilitywas further affected in December 1971, when a questionrelating to major activity or duties was added to themonthly CPS questionnaire in order to determine moreprecisely the occupational classification of individuals.As a result of these changes, meaningful comparisons ofoccupational employment levels could not be made be-tween 1971-72 and prior years nor between those 2years. Unemployment rates were not significantly af-fected. For a further explanation of the changes in theoccupational classification system, see "Revisions inOccupational Classifications for 1971" and "Revisionsin the Current Population Survey" in the February 1971and February 1972 issues, respectively, of Employmentand Earnings.

Beginning in January 1983, the occupational and in-dustrial classification systems used in the 1980 censuswere introduced into the CPS. These systems differ fromthose developed for the 1970 census which were used inthe CPS from January 1971 through December 1982.

The 1980 census occupational classification systemevolved from the Standard Occupational Classificationsystem (soc). While the CPS occupational data are nowcomparable with other data sources, the new system isso radically different in concepts and nomenclaturefrom the 1970 system that comparisons of historicaldata are not possible without major adjustments. Forexample, the 1980 major group "sales occupations" issubstantially larger than the 1970 category "salesworkers". Major additions include "cashiers" from"clerical workers" and some self-employed proprietorsin retail trade establishments from "managers and ad-ministrators, except farm."

The industrial classification system used in the 1980census is based on the 1972 Standard IndustrialClassification system (sic), as modified in 1977. Theadoption of the new system had much less of an adverse

147


effect on historical comparability than did the new oc-cupational system. The most notable changes from the1970 system were the transfer of farm equipment storesfrom "retail" to "wholesale" trade, postal service from"public administration" to "transportation", andsome interchange between "professional and relatedservices" and "public administration."

Additional information on the 1980 census occupa-tional and industrial classification systems appears in"Revisions in the Current Population Survey Beginningin January 1983" in the February 1983 issue of Employ-ment and Earnings,

Changes in the sample designSince the inception of the survey, there have been

various changes in the design of the CPS sample. Most ofthese changes were made in order to improve the effi-ciency of the sample design and/or to increase thereliability of the sample estimates.

One major change made after every decennial censusis to change the sample design to make use of the recent-ly collected census materials. Also, the number ofsample areas and the number of sample persons are in-creased occasionally. In 1953, the current rotation planwas introduced in which a sample unit is interviewed for4 months, leaves the sample for 8 months, and thenreturns to the sample for another 4 months. WhenAlaska and Hawaii achieved statehood, three more sam-ple areas were added to account for the population inthese States. After the 1960 census, selection of a majorportion of the sample from census address lists wasbegun, though a portion of the sample is still collectedusing area sampling. Following the 1970 census, theultimate sampling unit was changed from a noncon-tiguous cluster of six housing units to a usually con-tiguous cluster of four housing units. In January 1978, asupplemental sample of 9,000 housing units, selected in24 States and the District of Columbia and designed toprovide more reliable annual average estimates forStates, was incorporated into the design. In October1978 a coverage improvement sample, composed of ap-proximately 450 sample household units whichrepresented 237,000 occupied mobile homes and600,000 new construction housing units, was included incomputing the estimates in order to provide coverage ofmobile homes and new construction units that previous-ly had no chance for selection in the CPS sample selectedfrom the 1970 census frame. In January 1980, anothersupplemental sample of 9,000 households selected in 32States and the District of Columbia was added to the ex-isting sample. A sample reduction of about 6,000 unitswas implemented in May 1981. Beginning in January1982, the sample was expanded by 100 households toprovide additional coverage in counties added toSMSA'S, which were redefined in 1973.

Beginning in 1985, a new State-based CPS sample was

selected based on 1980 census information rather than1970 census information. The selection of new sampleareas provided an opportunity to improve the efficiencyof the sample design. Sample areas chosen to replace in-coming sample areas account for only 10 percent of thenational estimate. The new CPS sample has resulted inincreased reliability for State estimates with a slightlyreduced sample size. The reliability of nationalestimates is unaffected. Sample households are chosenfrom 729 sample areas, which represent 1,973geographic areas in the United States. This currentnumber of sample areas is not completely comparable tothe old number of sample areas since many of the sam-ple areas have been redefined. (See pp. 7-10 of the May1984 issue of Employment and Earnings, for an over-view of these new definitions and the introduction of thenew sample.)

Table A provides a description of some aspects of theCPS sample design in use during the different data col-lection periods. A more detailed account of the historyof the CPS sample design appears in the Current Popula-tion Survey: Design and Methodology, Technical PaperNo. 40, Bureau of the Census, or Concepts andMethods Used in Labor Force Statistics Derived Fromthe Current Population Survey, Report 463, Bureau ofLabor Statistics.

ESTIMATING METHODSUnder the estimating methods used in the CPS, all of

the results for a given month become availablesimultaneously and are based on returns from the entirepanel of respondents. The estimation procedure in-volves weighting the data from each sample person bythe inverse of the probability of the person being in thesample. This gives a rough measure of the number of ac-tual persons that the sample person represents. Beginn-ing in 1985, almost all sample persons within the sameState will have the same probability of selection. Theseestimates are then adjusted for noninterviews, and theratio estimation procedure is applied.

1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all inter-viewed households are adjusted to the extent needed toaccount for occupied sample households for which noinformation was obtained because of absence, im-passable roads, refusals, or unavailability of therespondents for other reasons. This noninterview ad-justment is made separately by combinations of similarsample areas that are not necessarily contained within aState. Similarity of sample areas is based onMetropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) status and size.Within each combination of sample areas there is a fur-ther breakdown by residence. MS A sample areas arecategorized by central city and the balance of the MSA.Residence categories of non-MSA areas are urban andrural. The proportion of sample households not inter-

viewed varies from 4 to 5 percent, depending onweather, vacation, etc.

2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the populationselected for the sample may differ somewhat, bychance, from that of the population as a whole, in suchcharacteristics as age, race, sex, and residence. Sincethese characteristics are closely correlated with laborforce participation and other principal measurementsmade from the sample, the survey estimates can besubstantially improved when weighted appropriately bythe known distribution of these populationcharacteristics. This is accomplished through two stagesof ratio estimates as follows:

a. First-stage ratio estimate. In the CPS, a portion ofthe 729 sample areas is chosen to represent other areasnot in the sample; the remainder of the sample areasrepresent only themselves. The first-stage ratio estima-tion procedure was designed to reduce the portion of thevariance resulting from requiring sample areas to repre-sent nonsample areas. Therefore, this procedure is notapplied to sample areas which represent onlythemselves. The adjustment is made at the State levelfor each of the 43 States which contains nonsampleareas by race cells of black and non-black. The pro-cedure corrects for differences that existed in each cell atthe time of the 1980 census between the race distributionof the population in sample areas and the known racedistribution of the State.

b. Second-stage ratio estimate. In this stage, the sam-ple proportions of persons in specific categories are ad-justed to the distribution of independent currentestimates of the civilian noninstitutional population inthe same categories. The second-stage ratio adjustmentwhich is performed to further reduce variability of theestimates and to correct to some extent for CPS under-coverage relative to the decennial census, is carried outin three steps. In the first step, the sample estimates areadjusted within each State and the District of Columbia

2 Three sample areas were added in 1960 to represent Alaska andHawaii after statehood.

to an independent control for the population 16 yearsand over for the State. The second step involves an ad-justment by Hispanic origin to a national estimate for 8age-sex categories by Hispanic and non-Hispanic. In thethird step, a national adjustment is made by the racecategories of white, black, and other races to indepen-dent estimates by age and sex. The white and blackcategories contain 32 age-sex groups each while theother races category has 6 age-sex cells. The entiresecond-stage adjustment procedure is iterated six times,each time beginning at the weights developed theprevious time. This ensures that the sample estimates ofthe population for both State and national age-sex-race-origin categories will be virtually equal to the indepen-dent population control totals. This second-stage ad-justment procedure incorporates changes instituted inJanuary 1985. The nature and effect of these changesare discussed in detail in "Changes in the EstimationProcedure in the Current Population Survey Beginningin January 1985" in the February 1985 issue of Employ-ment and Earnings.

The controls by State for the civilian noninstitutionalpopulation 16 years and over are an arithmetic ex-trapolation of the trend in the growth of this segment ofthe population from the April 1, 1980, census throughthe latest available July 1 estimate, adjusted as a laststep to a current estimate of the U.S. population of thisgroup. State estimates by age for July 1 are publishedannually in Current Population Reports, Series P-25.For a description of the methodology used in developingthe State total, use Report 640 of that series. A descrip-tion of the age estimates methodology is available on re-quest from the Chief of the Population Division, U.S.Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233.

Prior to January 1985, there was no separate controlfor Hispanics in the second-stage ratio procedure. TheseHispanic controls are prepared by carrying forward the1980 census count for Hispanics by adding estimatedHispanic births and immigrants and subtractingestimated Hispanic deaths and emigrants to yield an

149


estimate of the Hispanic population by age and sex.During the period from January 1982 to December

1984, the "inflation-deflation" method was temporari-ly discontinued in the preparation of the independentnational controls used for the age-sex-race groups in thethird step of the second-stage ratio estimation pro-cedure. These controls were prepared by carrying for-ward the 1980 census data after taking account of subse-quent aging of the population, births, deaths, and netmigration and then subtracting the estimate for the in-stitutional population and Armed Forces. Beginning inJanuary 1985, the "inflation-deflation" method ofderiving independent population controls was rein-troduced into the CPS estimation procedure. With the"inflation-deflation" method, the independent controlsare prepared by inflating the 1980 census counts to in-clude estimated undercounts by age, sex and race, agingthis population forward to each subsequent month andlater age by adding births and net migration, and sub-tracting deaths. These post-censal population estimatesare then deflated to census level to reflect the pattern ofnet undercount in the most recent census by age, sex,and race. Because an estimate of undercount is first ad-ded and then subtracted, the size of each race-sex groupis unaffected by the "inflation-deflation" method.Similarly, the final estimate is affected only by the agestructure of the undercount, but not the level. Thisfeature of the method is important since the exactamount of undercount in the 1980 census remainsunknown.

Data on births and deaths between April 1, 1980, andthe estimate date are based on tabulations of vitalstatistics for the resident population made by the Na-tional Center for Health Statistics and data on deaths ofmilitary personnel overseas from the Department ofDefense. Estimates of net civilian immigration are basedon data provided by the Immigration and Naturaliza-tion Service, the Department of Defense, the Office ofPersonnel Management, and the Puerto Rico PlanningBoard. The civilian noninstitutional population is deriv-ed by subtracting the Armed Forces and the institu-tional population for the estimate date from the total in-cluding Armed Forces overseas. The institutionalpopulation is computed by applying institutional pro-portions derived from the 1980 census to the totalpopulation, including Armed Forces overseas for theestimate date. All computations described above areperformed in cells defined by single year of age, race,and sex. The independent national control totals arethen obtained by collapsing these cells into broader agegroups for the population 16 years and older.

3. Composite estimate procedure. In deriving statisticsfor a given month, a composite estimating procedure isused which takes account of net changes from theprevious month for continuing parts of the sample (75

percent), as well as the sample results for the currentmonth. Also included is an additional term which is anestimate of the net difference between incoming andcontinuing parts of the current month's sample. Almostall estimates of month-to-month change are improvedby this procedure, and most estimates of level are alsoimproved, but to a lesser extent.

Rounding of estimatesThe sums of individual items may not always equal

the totals shown in the same tables because of indepen-dent rounding of totals and components to the nearestthousand. Similarly, sums of percent distributions maynot always equal 100 percent because of rounding. Dif-ferences, however, are insignificant.

Reliability of the estimatesThere are two types of errors possible in an estimate

based on a sample survey—-sampling and nonsampling.The standard errors provided primarily indicate themagnitude of the sampling error. They also partiallymeasure the effect of some nonsampling errors inresponse and enumeration but do not measure anysystematic biases in the data.

Nonsampling error. The full extent of nonsampling er-ror is unknown, but special studies have been conductedto quantify some sources of nonsampling error in theCPS, as discussed below. The effect of nonsampling er-ror should be small on estimates of relative change, suchas month-to-month change. Estimates of monthly levelswould be more severely affected by the nonsamplingerror.

Nonsampling errors in surveys can be attributed tomany sources, e.g., inability to obtain informationabout all cases in the sample, definitional difficulties,differences in the interpretation of questions, inabilityor unwillingness of respondents to provide correct in-formation, inability to recall information, errors madein collection such as in recording or coding the data, er-rors made in processing the data, errors made inestimating values for missing data, and failure to repre-sent all sample households and all persons within sam-ple households (undercoverage).

Nonsampling errors occurring in the interview phaseof the survey have been studied by means of a reinter-view program. This program is used to estimate varioussources of error as well as to evaluate and control thework of the interviewers. A random sample of each in-terviewer's work is inspected through reinterview atregular intervals. The results indicate, among otherthings, that the data published from the CPS are subjectto moderate systematic biases. A description of the CPSreinterview program and some of the other results maybe found in the Current Population Survey ReinterviewProgram, January 1961 through December 1966.

The effects of some components of nonsampling er-ror in the CPS data can be examined as a result of therotation plan used for the sample, since the level of theestimates varies by rotation group. A description ofthese effects appears in the 'The Effects of RotationGroup Bias on Estimates from Panel Surveys," by Bar-bara A. Bailar, Journal of the American StatisticalAssociation, Volume 70, No. 349, March 1975.

Undercoverage in the CPS results from missed housingunits and missed persons within sample households.Compared to the level of the decennial census, under-coverage is about 6 percent. It is known that the CPSundercoverage varies with age, sex, race and Hispanicorigin. Generally, undercoverage is larger for men thanfor women, and larger for blacks, Hispanics, and otherraces combined than for whites. Ratio estimation to in-dependent age-sex-race-origin population controls, asdescribed previously, partially corrects for the biasesdue to survey undercoverage. However, biases exist inthe estimates to the extent that missed persons in missedhouseholds or missed persons in interviewed householdshave different characteristics than interviewed personsin the same age-sex-race-origin group. Further, the in-dependent population controls used have not been ad-justed for undercoverage in the 1980 census.

Additional information on nonsampling error in theCPS appears in "An Error Profile: Employment asMeasured by the Current Population Survey," byCamilla Brooks and Barbara Bailar, Statistical PolicyWorking Paper 3, U.S. Department of Commerce, Of-fice of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards; in "TheCurrent Population Survey: An Overview," by MarvinThompson and Gary Shapiro, Annals of Economic andSocial Measurement, Vol. 2, April 1973; and in TheCurrent Population Survey, Design and Methodology,Technical Paper No. 40, Bureau of the Census, U.S.Department of Commerce. This last document includesa comprehensive and up-to-date discussion of varioussources of error, and describes attempts to measurethem in the CPS.

Sampling error. The standard error is primarily ameasure of sampling variability, that is, of the variationthat occurs by chance because a sample rather than theentire population is surveyed. The sample estimate andits estimated standard error enable one to construct con-fidence intervals, ranges that would include the averageof all possible samples with a known probability. Forexample, if all possible samples were selected, each ofthese surveyed under essentially the same general condi-tions and using the same sample design, and an estimateand its estimated error were calculated from each sam-ple, then:

i. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals from

one standard error below the estimate to one standarderror above the estimate would include the averageresult of all possible samples.

2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.6standard errors below the estimate to 1.6 standard errorabove the estimate would include the average of allpossible samples.

3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from 2standard errors below the estimate to 2 standard errorsabove the estimate would include the average result ofall possible samples.

In order to derive standard errors that would be ap-plicable to a large number of estimates and could beprepared at a moderate cost, a number of approxima-tions are required. First, the standard errors in thisvolume reflect the sample design and estimation pro-cedures in effect prior to the expansions for Stateestimates. Thus, these standard errors may slightlyoverstate the standard errors applicable to the presentdesign. Second, instead of computing an individualstandard error for each estimate, generalized sets ofstandard errors are computed for various types ofcharacteristics. This generalization yields more stableestimates of the standard errors. Consequently, the setsof standard errors provided give an indication of theorder of magnitude of the standard error of an estimaterather than the precise standard error.

Tables B and C show approximate standard errors formajor employment status characteristics for monthlyestimates and for changes for consecutive months.These standard errors are applicable to the level of theestimates in recent months.

Tables D through H provide generalized standard er-rors for monthly level and month-to-month change forestimated totals, unemployment rates, and percentages.Table I contains factors for use with table H for com-puting standard errors, as described below, for monthlylevel and month-to-month change for percentages.Standard errors for intermediate values not shown inthe table may be approximated by linear interpolation.The standard error for estimated changes from onemonth to the next is more closely related to the monthlylevel for the characteristic than to the size of the specificmonth-to-month change itself. Thus, in order to use thegeneralized standard errors for month-to-month changeas given in the tables of standard errors, it is necessaryto obtain the monthly estimate for the characteristic. Itshould be noted that the tables of standard errors formonth-to-month change apply only to estimates ofchange between 2 consecutive months. Estimates ofchange for nonconsecutive months are subject to higherstandard errors. Table J contains factors for use withtables D, F, H, and I to compute approximate stand-ard errors for levels, labor force participation rates, andpercentages as pertaining to the year-to-year change of

monthly estimates, quarterly averages, changes inquarterly averages, yearly averages, and changes inyearly averages. Note that standard errors for changesin quarterly and yearly estimates apply only to con-secutive quarters and years. For years prior to 1967, thestandard errors must be adjusted due to the differencesin the sample size. For years prior to 1956, the standarderrors should be multiplied by 1.50, and for the 1956-66period, they should be multiplied by 1.22. Table K pro-vides generalized standard errors for quarterly estimatesof persons and families for use with the CPS earningsdata.

Standard errors for estimated totals, fables D and Eprovide generalized standard errors for monthly totalsand for month-to-month change. The figures given inthese tables are to be used for the characteristics as in-dicated.

Illustration. Assume that in a given month the numberof persons working a specific number of hours was12,000,000, an increase of 400,000 over the previousmonth. Linear interpolation in the second column oftable D shows that the standard error on an estimate of12,000,000 is about 159,000. The 68-percent confidenceinterval as shown by these data is from 11,841,000 to12,159,000. Therefore, a conclusion that the averageestimate derived from all possible samples lies within arange computed in this way would be correct forroughly 68 percent of all possible samples. Recall thatthe standard error of a month-to-month change is

on the estimated number of employed persons age 20 to 54 years, usethe column for total employed.

primarily dependent on the size of the monthly estimate.Thus, using linear interpolation in the first column oftable E, the standard error on a month-to-month changeof 400,000, when the monthly level is approximately12,000,000, is about 118,000.

Standard errors for rates and percentages. The reliabili-ty of an estimated unemployment rate or an estimatedpercentage, computed using sample data for bothnumerator and denominator, depends upon both thesize of the rate or percentage and the total upon whichthe rate or percentage is based. Estimated rates andpercentages are relatively more reliable than the cor-responding estimates of the numerator of the rates orpercentages; this is particularly true for percentages of50 percent or more. As a general rule, percentages arenot published when the monthly base is less than 75,000,the quarterly average base is less than 60,000, or the an-nual average base is less than 35,000.

Tables F and G show generalized standard errors formonthly level and month-to-month change forunemployment rates. Generalized standard errors forestimated monthly percentages and estimated month-to-month change in percentage can be obtained throughthe use of the standard errors in table H and the factorsin table I. First obtain the standard error from table Hfor the specific percentage and base. The generalizedstandard error is then calculated by multiplying thestandard error from table H by the appropriate factor

from table I. When the numerator and denominator ofthe percentage are in different categories, use the factorindicated by the numerator of the percentage.

Illustration. Assume that in a given month 3.6 percentof a total of 90,771,000 employed persons are employedin agriculture. The standard error on an estimate of 3.6percent with a base of 90,771,000 is obtained from tableH (0.09 percent). The appropriate factor from table Ifor the numerator of the percentage, agriculturalemployment, is 1.26. The generalized standard error onthe estimated 3.6 percent is then approximately 0.09 x1.26 = 0.1 percentage point.

Standard errors for year-to-year change of monthlyestimates, quarterly averages, changes in quarterlyaverages, yearly averages, and changes in yearlyaverages. The approximate standard errors of levels,rates, and percentages involving year-to-year change ofmonthly estimates, quarterly averages, changes inquarterly averages, yearly averages, and changes inyearly averages may be obtained by using table J in con-junction with the other tables. Standard errors forestimates of change are more closely related to the levelof the estimate than to the size of the specific change.Thus, to obtain the standard error of an estimate of anaverage level, rate, or percentage, or an estimate of achange in level, rate, or percentage, it is first necessaryto find the appropriate estimate of level. For an estimate

153


of an average level, rate, or percentage, find the stand-ard error of this estimate. For an estimate of change inlevel, rate, or percentage, find the standard error of theaverage of the two estimates affecting the change. Then,after computing the standard error by treating theseestimates as monthly estimates and using the proceduresabove, multiply this result by a suitable factor fromtable J to obtain the approximate standard error for theaverage or change.

Illustration. Suppose that one is interested in the year-to-year change of a monthly unemployment rate.Assume that for a certain month the unemployment rateis 6.9 percent, based on a total of 95,676,000 in thecivilian labor force, and that a year prior to this theunemployment rate was 6.1 percent, based on a total of94,254,000 in the civilian labor force for the month.First the standard error on the average of the twoestimates, 6.5 percent with a base of 94,965,000, is ob-tained from table F (0.12 percentage point). The ap-propriate factor, then, from table J is 1.40. The approx-imate standard error on the change of 0.8 percent is thengiven by 0.12 x 1.40 = 0.17 percentage point.

The approximate standard error of levels involvingyear-to-year change of quarterly estimates pertaining toCPS earnings data for persons and families may be ob-tained by using table K in conjunction with the follow-ing formula:

Standarderror ofyear-to-yearchange = /7stand-\ /standA /Stand- \

[ ard 1 j ard j I ard IV error / *• V error / 2(P)V error /

Where X is the estimate for one quarter and Y is theestimate for another quarter. The coefficient, P, is ameasure of the correlation between the estimates X andY resulting from the presence of some of the samerespondents in the sample for each estimate. For con-secutive year-to-year changes of quarterly estimates, thevalues of P are .30 for persons (total, white, and black)and .35 for families (total, white, and black). Therespective values for estimates of Hispanics are .45 and.55.

Illustration. Assume that in a given quarter the numberof women employed as full-time wage and salaryworkers was 27,000,000 and in the same quarter a yearlater, their number had increased to 29,000,000. Usinglinear interpolation in the eighth column of table K, thestandard error of an estimate of 27,000,000 is 216,000;for 29,000,000 it is 221,000. Using the above formula,the standard error of the 2,000,000, year-to-year changeis:

V(216,000)2 + (221,000) 2

or about 259,000.

Establishment Data(Tables B-1 through C-8)

COLLECTIONPayroll reports provide current information on wage

and salary employment, hours, and earnings innonagricultural establishments, by industry andgeographic location. Historical statistics are publishedin Employment, Hours, and Earnings, United States,1909-84, and Employment Hours and Earnings, Statesand Areas, 1939-82 and their annual supplements.

Federal-State cooperationUnder cooperative arrangements, responding

establishments report employment, hours, and earningsdata to State agencies. State agencies mail the forms tothe establishments and examine the returns for con-sistency, accuracy, and completeness. The States use thereported data to prepare State and area series and alsosend the reported data to the BLS (Washington Office)for use in preparing the national series. This avoids aduplicate reporting burden on establishments, andtogether with the use of similar estimating techniques atthe national and State levels, promotes increased com-parability between estimates.

Shuttle schedulesForm BLS 790—Report on Employment, Payroll, and

Hours is the name of the data collection schedule. Thecollection agency returns the schedule to the respondenteach month so that the next month's data can be enteredon the space alotted for that month. This "shuttle" pro-cedure assures maximum comparability and accuracy ofreporting, since the respondent can see the figures thathave been reported for previous months.

Form BLS 790 provides for entry of data on the totalnumber of full- and part-time workers on the payrolls ofnonagricultural establishments and, for most industries,employment, payroll, and hours of production andrelated workers or nonsupervisory workers for the payperiod which includes the 12th of the month.

CONCEPTS

Industrial classificationEstablishments reporting on Form BLS 790 are

classified into industries on the basis of their principalproduct or activity determined from information on an-nual sales volume. Since January 1980, this informationis collected on a supplement to the quarterly unemploy-ment insurance tax reports filed by employers. For anestablishment making more than one product or engag-ing in more than one activity, the entire employment ofthe establishment is included under the industry in-dicated by the principal product or activity.

All data on employment, hours, and earnings for theNation and for States and areas are classified in accor-dance with the 1972 Standard Industrial ClassificationManual (SICM), Office of Management and Budget.The BLS tabulates and estimates statistics whichdistinguish between private and public establishments,thus maintaining continuity with previously publishedstatistics for the private and government sector.

Industry employmentEmployment data, except those for the Federal

Government, refer to persons on establishment payrollswho received pay for any part of the pay period whichincludes the 12th of the month. For Federal Govern-ment establishments, employment figures represent thenumber of persons who occupied positions on the lastday of the calendar month. Intermittent workers arecounted if they performed any service during themonth.

The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, un-paid volunteer or family workers, farm workers, anddomestic workers. Salaried officers of corporations areincluded. Government employment covers only civilianemployees; military personnel are excluded. Employeesof the Central Intelligence Agency and the NationalSecurity Agency are also excluded.

Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paidsick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm),on paid holiday, on paid vacation, or who work duringa part of the pay period even though they areunemployed or on strike during the rest of the periodare counted as employed. Not counted as employed arepersons who are on layoff, on leave without pay, onstrike for the entire period, or who were hired but havenot yet reported during the period.

Industry hours and earningsAverage hours and earnings data are derived from

reports of payrolls and hours for production and relatedworkers in manufacturing' and mining, constructionworkers in construction, and nonsupervisory employeesin private service-producing industries.

Production and related workers include workingsupervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (includinggroup leaders and trainees) engaged in fabricating, pro-cessing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage,handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, trucking,hauling, maintenance, repair, janitorial, guard services,product development, auxiliary production for plant's

158


own use (e.g., power plant), recordkeeping, and otherservices closely associated with the above productionoperation.

Construction workers include the followingemployees in the construction division: Working super-visors, qualified craft workers, mechanics, apprentices,helpers, laborers, etc., engaged in new work, altera-tions, demolition, repair, maintenance, etc., whetherworking at the site of construction or working in shopsor yards at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling)ordinarily performed by members of the constructiontrades.

Nonsupervisory employees include employees (notabove the working supervisory level) such as office andclerical workers, repairers, salespersons, operators,drivers, physicians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, socialworkers, research aides, teachers, drafters,photographers, beauticians, musicians, restaurantworkers, custodial workers, attendants, line installersand repairers, laborers, janitors, guards, and otheremployees at similar occupational levels whose servicesare closely associated with those of the employees listed.

Payroll covers the payroll for full- and part-time pro-duction, construction, or nonsupervisory workers whoreceived pay for any part of the pay period which in-cludes the 12th of the month. The payroll is reportedbefore deductions of any kind, e.g., for old-age andunemployment insurance, group insurance, withholdingtax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for over-time, holidays, vacations, and sick leave paid directly bythe firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly eachpay period); other pay not earned in the pay periodreported (e.g., retroactive pay); tips; and the value offree rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are ex-cluded. "Fringe benefits" (such as health and othertypes of insurance, contributions to retirement, etc.,paid by the employer) are also excluded.

Hours cover the hours paid for during the pay periodwhich includes the 12th of the month for production,construction, or nonsupervisory workers. Included arehours paid for holidays, vacations, and for sick leavewhen pay is received directly from the firm.

Overtime hours covers hours worked by productionor related workers for which overtime premiums werepaid because the hours were in excess of the number ofhours of either the straight-time workday or theworkweek during the pay period which includes the 12thof the month. Weekend and holiday hours are includedonly if overtime premiums were paid. Hours for whichonly shift differential, hazard, incentive, or othersimilar types of premiums were paid are excluded.

A verage hourly and weekly earnings. Average hourlyearnings are on a "gross" basis. They reflect not onlychanges in basic hourly and incentive wage rates butalso such variable factors as premium pay for overtimeand late-shift work and changes in output of workerspaid on an incentive plan. They also reflect shifts in thenumber of employees between relatively high-paid andlow-paid work and changes in workers' earnings in in-dividual establishments. Averages for groups and divi-sions further reflect changes in average hourly earningsfor individual industries.

Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates.Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a statedperiod of time; rates are the amount stipulated for agiven unit of work or time. The earnings series do notmeasure the level of total labor costs on the part of theemployer since the following are excluded: Irregularbonuses, retroactive items, payments of various welfarebenefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earningsfor those employees not covered under the productionworker, construction worker, or nonsupervisoryemployee definitions.

Average weekly earnings estimates are derived bymultiplying average weekly hours estimates by averagehourly earnings estimates. Therefore, weekly earningsare affected not only by changes in average hourly earn-ings but also by changes in the length of the workweek.Monthly variations in such factors as proportion ofpart-time workers, stoppages for varying reasons, laborturnover during the survey period, and absenteeism forwhich employees are not paid may cause the averageworkweek to fluctuate.

Long-term trends of average weekly earnings can beaffected by structural changes in the makeup of thework force. For example, persistent long-term increasesin the proportion of part-time workers in retail tradeand many of the services industries have reducedaverage workweeks in these industries and have affectedthe average weekly earnings series.

Average weekly hours. The workweek informationrelates to the average hours for which pay was receivedand is different from standard or scheduled hours. Suchfactors as unpaid absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours tobe lower than scheduled hours of work for an establish-ment. Group averages further reflect changes in theworkweek of component industries.

A verage overtime hours. The overtime hours representthat portion of the average weekly hours which exceed-ed regular hours and for which overtime premiums werepaid. If an employee were to work on a paid holiday atregular rates, receiving as total compensation his or herholiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours workedthat day, no overtime hours would be reported.

2 The sample production-worker ratio, women-worker ratio, average weeklyhours, average overtime hours, and average hourly earnings are modified by

a wedging technique designed to compensate for changes in the sample arisingmainly from the voluntary character of the reporting. The wedging procedureaccepts the advantage of continuity from the use of the matched sample and, atthe same time, tapers or wedges the estimate toward the level of the latestsample average.

Since overtime hours are premium hours by defini-tion, weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessari-ly move in the same direction from month to month; forexample, ovetime premiums may be paid for hours inexcess of the straight-time workday although less than afull week is worked. Diverse trends at the industrygroup level also may be caused by a marked change inhours for a component industry where little or no over-time was worked in both the previous and currentmonths. In addition, such factors as stoppages,absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the sameinfluence on overtime hours as on average hours.

Railroads hours and earnings. The figures for Class Irailroads (excluding switching and terminal companies)are based on monthly data summarized in the M-300report of the Interstate Commerce Commission andrelate to all employees except executives, officials, andstaff assistants (ICC group I) who received pay duringthe month. Average hourly earnings are computed bydividing total compensation by total hours paid for.Average weekly hours are obtained by dividing totalnumber of hours paid for, reduced to a weekly basis, bythe number of employees, as defined above. Averageweekly earnings are derived by multiplying averageweekly hours by average hourly earnings.

Real earnings, or earnings in constant dollars, arecalculated from the earnings averages for the currentmonth using a deflator derived from the ConsumerPrice Index for Urban Wage Earners and ClericalWorkers (CPI-W).

Average hourly earnings excluding overtime. Averagehourly earnings excluding overtime premium pay arecomputed by dividing the total production workerpayroll for the industry group by the sum of totalproduction worker hours and one-half of total overtimehours. Prior to January 1956, these data were based onthe application of adjustment factors to average hourlyearnings (as described in the Monthly Labor Review,May 1950, pp. 537-40). Both methods eliminate only theearnings due to overtime paid for at 1V? times thestraight-time rates. No adjustments are made for otherpremium payment provisions, such as holiday work,late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time andone-half.

Indexes of aggregate weekly hours. The indexes of ag-gregate weekly hours are prepared by dividing the cur-rent month's aggregate by the average of the 12 monthlyfigures for 1977. For basic industries, the hour ag-gregates are the product of average weekly hours andproduction worker or nonsupervisory worker employ-ment. At all higher levels of industry aggregation, houraggregates are the sum of the component aggregates.

Indexes of diffusion of changes in number of employeeson nonagricultural payrolls. These indexes measure thepercent of industries which posted increases in employ-ment over the specified time span. The indexes arecalculated from 185 seasonally adjusted employmentseries (two-digit nonmanufacturing industries and three-digit manufacturing industries) covering allnonagricultural payroll employment in the private sec-tor. A more detailed discussion of these indexes appearsin "Introduction of Diffusion Indexes," in theDecember 1974 issue of Employment and Earnings.

ESTIMATING METHODS

The principal features of the procedure used toestimate employment for the establishment statistics are(1) the use of the "link relative" technique which is aform of ratio estimation; (2) periodic adjustment ofemployment levels to new benchmarks; and (3) the useof size and regional stratification.

The "link relative" techniqueFrom a sample composed of establishments reporting

for both the previous and current months, the ratio ofcurrent month employment to that of the previousmonth is computed. This is called a "link relative." Theestimates of employment (all employees, including pro-duction and nonproduction workers together) for thecurrent month are obtained by multiplying the estimatesfor the previous month by these "link relatives." In ad-dition, bias correction factors are applied to selectedemployment estimates each month. The size of the biascorrection factors is determined from past benchmarkcomparisons. Beginning with data for April 1983, thesefactors are modified by changes in the sample linkrelatives for the most recent quarter. Other features ofthe general procedures are described in table L.

Size and regional stratificationA number of industries are stratified by size of

establishment and/or by region, and the stratified pro-duction or nonsupervisory worker data are used toweight the hours and earnings into broader industrygroupings. Accordingly, the basic estimating cell for anemployment, hours, or earnings series, as the term is us-ed in the summary of computational methods in table L,may be a whole industry or a size stratum, a regionstratum, or a size stratum of a region within an in-dustry.

Benchmark adjustmentsEmployment estimates are compared periodically

with benchmarks (comprehensive counts of employ-ment) for the various nonagricultural industries and ap-propriate adjustments are made as indicated. The in-dustry estimates are currently projected from March1984 levels. Normally, benchmark adjustments aremade annually.

161


The primary sources of benchmark information areemployment data, by industry, compiled quarterly byStates agencies from reports of establishments coveredunder State unemployment insurance laws. Thesetabulations cover about 98 percent of employees onnonagricultural payrolls in the United States. Bench-mark data for the residual are obtained from therecords of the Social Security Administration, the In-terstate Commerce Commission, and a number of otheragencies in private industry or government.

The estimates for the benchmark month are com-pared with new benchmark levels, industry by industry.If revisions are necesary, the monthly series of estimatesbetween benchmark periods are adjusted between thenew benchmark and the preceding one, and the newbenchmark for each industry is then carried forwardprogressively to the current month by use of the sampletrends. Thus, under this procedure, the benchmark isused to establish the level of employment; the sample isused to measure the month-to-month changes in thelevel. A comparision of the actual amounts of revisionsmade at the time of the March 1984 benchmark adjust-ment is shown in table M.

Data for all months since the last benchmark to whichthe series has been adjusted are subject to revision.Revised data are published as soon as possible after eachbenchmark revision.

THE SAMPLE

DesignThe sampling plan used in the Current Employment

Statistics program is known as "sampling proportionateto average size of establishment." This design is an op-timum allocation design among strata since the sampl-ing variance is proportional to the average size ofestablishments. Under this type of design, largeestablishments fall into the sample with certainty. Thesize of the sample for the various industries is determin-ed empirically on the basis of experience and of cost

considerations. In a manufacturing industry in which ahigh proportion of total employment is concentrated inrelatively few establishments, a large percent of totalemployment is included in the sample. Consequently,the sample design for such industries provides for acomplete census of the large establishments with only afew chosen from among the smaller establishments ornone at all if the concentration of employment is greatenough. On the other hand, in an industry in which alarge proportion of total employment is in smallestablishments, the sample design calls for inclusion ofall large establishments and also for a substantialnumber of the small ones. Many industries in the tradeand services divisions fall into this category. To keep thesample to a size which can be handled by availableresources, it is necessary to design samples for these in-dustries with a smaller proportion of universe employ-ment than is the case for most manufacturing industries.Since individual establishments in these nonmanufac-turing divisions generally show less fluctuation fromregular cyclical or seasonal patterns than doestablishments in manufacturing industries, thesesmaller samples (in terms of employment) generally pro-duce reliable estimates.

In the context of the BLS Current EmploymentStatistics program, with its emphasis on producing time-ly data at minimum cost, a sample must be obtainedwhich will provide coverage of a sufficiently large seg-ment of the universe to provide reasonably reliableestimates that can be published promptly and regularly.The present sample meets these specifications for mostindustries. With its use, the BLS is able to producepreliminary estimates each month for many industriesand for many geographic levels within a few weeks afterthe reference period, and, at a somewhat later date,statistics in considerably greater industrial detail.

CoverageThe BLS sample of establishment employment and

payrolls is the largest monthly sampling operation in thefield of social statistics. Table N shows the approximateproportion of total employment in each industry divi-sion covered by the group of establishments furnishingmonthly employment data. The coverage for individualindustries within the division may vary from the propor-tions shown.

Reliability of the employment estimatesAlthough the relatively large size of the BLS estab-

lishment sample assures a high degree of accuracy, theestimates derived from it may differ from the figuresthat would be obtained if it were possible to take a com-plete census using the same schedules and procedures.As discussed under the previous section, a "linkrelative" technique is used to estimate employment.This requires the use of the previous month's estimate as

1 Since a few establishments do not report payroll and hoursinformation, hours and earnings estimates may be based on a slightlysmaller sample than employment estimates.

2 National estimates of Federal employment by agency are provided toBLS by the Office of Personnel Management. Detailed industry estimatesfor the Executive Branch, as well as State and area estimates of Federalemployment, are based on a sample of 5,100 reports covering about 64percent of employment in Federal establishments.

the base in computing the current month's estimate.Thus, small sampling and response errors may cumulateover several months. To remove this accumulated error,the estimates are usually adjusted annually to new ben-chmarks. In addition to taking account of sampling andresponse errors, the benchmark revision adjusts theestimates for changes in the industrial classification ofindividual establishments (resulting from changes intheir product which are not reflected in the levels ofestimates until the data are adjusted to new bench-marks). In fact, at the more detailed industry levels,particularly within manufacturing, changes in classifica-tion are the major cause of benchmark adjustments.Another cause of differences arises from improvementsin the quality of the benchmark data. Table O presentsthe average percent revisions of the five most recentbenchmarks for major industry divisions. Detaileddescriptions of individual benchmark revisions areavailable from the Bureau upon request.

The hours and earnings estimates for basic estimatingcells are not subject to benchmark revisions, althoughthe broader groupings may be affected slightly bychanges in employment weights. The hours and earningsestimates, however, are subject to sampling errorswhich may be expressed as relative errors of theestimates. (A relative error is a standard error expressedas a percent of the estimate.) Relative errors for majorindustries are presented in table O and for individual in-dustries with the specified number of employees in tableP. The chances are about 2 out of 3 that the hours andearnings estimates from the sample would differ by a

smaller percentage than the relative error from theaverages that would have been obtained from a com-plete census.

One measure of the reliability of the employmentestimates for individual industries is the root-mean-square error (RMSE). The measure is the standard devia-tion adjusted for the bias in estimates:

RMSE = VcStandard Deviation)2 + (Bias)2

If the bias is small, the chances are about 2 out of 3 thatan estimate from the samle would differ from itsbenchmark by less than the root-mean-square error.The chances are about 19 out of 20 that the differencewould be less than twice the root-mean-square error.

Approximations of the root-mean-square errors (bas-ed on the most recent benchmark revisions) of dif-ferences between final estimates and benchmarks arepresented in table P.

For the two most recent months, estimates of employ-ment, hours, and earnings are preliminary and are sofootnoted in the tables. These figures are based on lessthan the total sample and are revised when all thereports in the sample have been received. Table Qpresents root-mean-square errors of the amounts ofrevisions that may be expected between the preliminaryand final levels of employment and preliminary andfinal month-to-month changes. Revisions ofpreliminary hours and earnings estimates are normallynot greater than 0.1 of an hour for weekly hours and 1cent for hourly earnings.

areas. Definitions for all areas are published each yearin the issue of Employment and Earnings that containsState and area annual averages (usually the May issue).Changes in definitions are noted as they occur. Addi-tional industry detail may be obtained from the Stateagencies listed on the inside back cover of each issue.These statistics are based on the same establishmentreports used by BLS for preparing national estimates.For employment, the sum of the State figures may differslightly from the equivalent official U.S. totals on anational basis, because some States have more recentbenchmarks than others and because of the effects ofdiffering industrial and geographic stratification.

For the States and the areas shown in the B and C sec-tions of this periodical, all the annual average data forthe detailed industry statistics currently published byeach cooperating State agency are presented in a sum-mary volume published annually by the BLS.

Productivity Data(Tables C-9 through C-11)

COLLECTIONProductivity data are compiled by the Bureau of

Labor Statistics from establishment data and fromestimates of compensation and gross national productsupplied by the U.S. Department of Commerce and theFederal Reserve Board.

CONCEPTSHours of wage and salary workers in nonagricultural

establishments refer to hours paid for allemployees—production workers, nonsupervisoryworkers, and salaried workers.

Output is the constant-dollar market value of finalgoods and services produced in a given period. Indexesof output per hour of all persons measure changes in thevolume of goods and services produced per paid hour oflabor input.

Compensation per hour includes wages and salariesof employees plus employers' contributions for socialinsurance and private benefit plans. The data also in-clude an estimate of wages, salaries, and supplementarypayments for the self-employed, except for nonfinancialcorporations, in which there are no self-employed.

Real compensation per hour is compensation perhour adjusted to elimate the effect of changes in theConsumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers(CPI-U).

Unit labor costs measure the labor compensation costrequired to produce one unit of output and are derivedby dividing compensation per hour by output per hour.

Unit nonlabor payments include profits, deprecia-tion, interest, and indirect taxes per unit of output.

They are computed by subtracting compensation of allpersons from the current-dollar gross national productand dividing by output. In these tables, unit nonlaborcosts contain all the components of unit nonlaborpayments except unit profits.

Unit profits include corporate profits and inventoryvaluation adjustments per unit of output.

The implicit price deflator is derived by dividing thecurrent-dollar estimate of gross product by theconstant-dollar estimate, making the deflator, in effect,a price index for gross product of the sector reported.

NOTES ON THE DATAFor the business sector and the nonfarm business sec-

tor, these indexes relate to the gross domestic productless household and institutions, owner-occupied hous-ing, and statistical discrepancy. For the nonfinancialcorporate sector, the indexes refer to the gross domesticproduct of nonfinancial corporate business.

Manufacturing output data are supplied by theBureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department ofCommerce, and the Federal Reserve Board. Quarterlymeasures have been adjusted by the Bureau of LaborStatistics to annual estimates of output (gross productoriginating) from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.Compensation and hours data are from the Bureau ofEconomic Analysis and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.Historical statistics for most productivity measures ap-pear in Trends in Multifactor Productivity, 1948-81,BLS Bulletin 2178. Additional information may be ob-tained from the Office of Productivity and Technology(202 523-9261).

State and Area Labor Force Data(D table)

FEDERAL-STATE COOPERATIVE PROGRAMLabor force and unemployment estimates for States,

labor market areas (LMA's), and other areas coveredunder Federal assistance programs are developed byState employment security agencies under a Federal-State cooperative program. The local unemploymentestimates which are derived from standardized pro-cedures developed by BLS are the basis of determiningeligibility of an area for benefits under Federal pro-grams such as the Job Training Partnership Act and thePublic Works and Economic Development Act.

Annual average data for the States and areas shownin table D are published in Employment and Earnings

(usually the May issue). For regions, States, selectedmetropolitan areas, and central cities, annual averagedata classified by selected demographic, social, andeconomic characteristics are published in the BLSbulletin, Geographic Profile of Employment andUnemployment.

Labor force and unemployment estimates for coun-ties, cities, and other small areas have been preparedfor administration of various Federal economicassistance programs and may be ordered from theSuperintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Print-ing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. The report"Employment and Unemployment in States and Local

165


teas" is published monthly through GPO and isvailable on microfiche only on a subscription basis.

FSTIMATING METHODS1.lie civilian labor force and unemployment estimates11 large States: New York, California, Illinois, Ohio,

"New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas, Massachu--:tts, North Carolina, and Florida; and two areas: Losrigeles—Long Beach metropolitan area and New Yorkity, are sufficiently reliable to be used directly frome CPS. For a description of the CPS concepts seeHousehold Data," above.Monthly labor force and unemployment estimates in

he remaining 39 States, District of Columbia, and 253ibor market areas are prepared in several stages. Theivilian labor force is the sum of the employment andmemployment levels, which are estimated in accord-ance with the BLS Manual for Developing Local AreaJnemployment Statistics.

Preliminary estimate—employment: The totalsviiian employment estimate is based on data from theirvey of establishments which produces an estimate ofwroll employment. This place-of-work estimate must* adjusted to refer to place of residence as used in thePS. Factors for adjusting from place of work to place

• f residence have been developed for the severaltegories of employment on the basis of employmentUuionships which existed at the time of the 1970

ivennial census. These factors are applied to thelyroll employment estimates for the current period tostained adjusted employment estimates, to which are

"Jded estimates for employment not cover by UI.

Preliminary estimate—unemployment: In the cur-m month, the estimate of unemployment is an ag-na t e of the estimates for each of three building blockivor ies : (1) Persons who were previously employed inuiusitios covered by State unemployment insuranceI) laws; (2) those previously employed in industries

A A covered by these laws; and (3) those who were enter-«g the civilian labor force for the first time or reenter-

>)g after a period of separation. This is referred to*dow as the UI- based estimate.

An estimate for those previously employed in covered«<!ustries is derived from a count of current employ-

!:t insurance claimants, plus estimates of claimantslose benefits have been exhausted, those persons dis-

•Kilified from receiving benefits for nonmonetary^ons (because they quit, were discharged for cause,., but would otherwise have been eligible), and per-

> > who either filed claims late or not at all.The estimate of those previously employed in in-

u tries not covered by UI is derived by applying to the•npioyment estimate for each noncovered industry or

^ of worker subgroup in the State, the ratio of

covered unemployment to covered employmentweighted by factors reflecting national historical rela-tionships.

For the third category, new entrants and reentrantsinto the labor force, a composite estimate is developedfrom equations that relate the total entrants into thelabor force to the experienced unemployed and the ex-perienced labor force. For each month, the estimate ofentrants into the labor force is a function of: (a) themonth of the year; (b) the level of the experiencedunemployed; (c) the level of the experienced labor force;and (d) the proportion of the working age populationthat is considered "youth." The composite estimate oftotal entrants is defined as:

U= A (X + E) + BX, whereU = total entrant unemploymentE = total civilian employmentX = total experienced unemployment

A,B= synthetic factors incorporatingseasonal variation and an assumedrelationship between the proportion ofyouths in the working population and thehistorical relationship of entrants to theexperienced unemployed (B factor) or theexperienced labor force (A factor).

3. Correction factors for employment and unemploy-ment are then applied at the State level of the Ul-basedestimates obtained above for each of the 39 States andthe District of Columbia. These correction factors arebased on the ratio of the CPS to the Ul-based estimatesfor the 6-month period ending in the current month(e.g. a 6-month moving average).

4. Substate adjustment for additivity. Independentestimates of employment and unemployment areprepared for the State (obtained directly from the CPSin the 11 large States or by the Ul-based method in theremaining States), and labor market areas (LMA's)within the State). The total of the geographic areas inthe LMA's exhausts the geographic boundaries of theState. A proportional adjustment is applied to allsub-state LMA estimates to ensure that the sub-stateestimates of employment and unemployment add to theindependent State totals. In California and New York,which also have sub-state areas taken directly from theCPS, the additivity adjustment for the reamining areasis applied to the State total minus the direct CPS area.

5. Benchmark correction procedures. Once each yearmonthly estimates prepared by the State employmentsecurity agencies using Ul-based estimating proceduresare adjusted, or benchmarked, by BLS to the annualaverage CPS estimates for the 39 States and the Districtof Columbia for which monthly CPS estimates are not


available. This adjustment is necessary because theState-prepared estimates are not as reliable as the CPSannual averages due to differences in the State UI laws,the structual limitations of the Ul-based estimatingmethod, and errors in the UI data.

The benchmarked estimates are produced in threestages. First, the monthly Ul-based estimates are ad-justed by the ratio of the CPS to the Ul-based annualaverages. Second, the difference between the ratio of

annual averages for two consecutive years is wedged in-to the monthly estimates in order to minimize the distur-bance to the original series. Finally, the third stageestimates are forced into agreement with CPS annualaverages. In the 11 States which use CPS estimatesmonthly, no benchmark correction is required, as theaverage of the 12 monthly State CPS estimates willequal CPS annual averages.

Seasonal Adjustment

Over the course of a year, the size of the Nation'slabor force, the levels of employment and unemploy-ment, and other measures of labor market activityundergo sharp fluctuations due to such seasonal eventsas changes in weather, reduced ar expandedj>roduction,harvests, major holidays, and the opening and closingof schools. Because these seasonal events follow a moreor less regular pattern each year, their influence onstatistical trends can be eliminated by adjusting thestatistics from month to month. These adjustmentsmake it easier to observe the cyclical and othernonseasonal movements in the series. In evaluatingchanges in a seasonally adjusted series, it is important tonote that seasonal adjustment is merely an approxima-tion based on past experience. Seasonally adjustedestimates have a broader margin of possible error thanthe original data on which they are based, since they aresubject not only to sampling and other errors but arealso affected by the uncertainties of the seasonal adjust-ment process itself. Seasonally adjusted series forselected labor force and establishment-based data arepublished regularly in Employment and Earnings.

The seasonal adjustment program used for theseseries is an adaptation of the standard ratio-to-movingaverage method. It provides for "moving" adjustmentfactors to take account of changing seasonal patterns. Adetailed description of the method is given in The X-llVariant of the Census Method II Seasonal AdjustmentProgram, Technical Paper No. 15, Bureau of the Cen-sus (1967).

Beginning in January 1980, BLS introduced two ma-jor modifications in the seasonal adjustmentmethodology for data from the household survey. First,the data are being seasonally adjusted with a new pro-cedure called X-l 1 ARIMA, which was developed atStatistics Canada as an extension of the existing stan-dard X-ll method. A detailed description of the pro-cedure appears in The X-ll ARIMA Seasonal Adjust-ment Method, by Estela Bee Dagum, Statistics CanadaCatalogue NO. 12-564E, February 1980. The X-ll pro-cedure was originally developed at the Bureau of the

Census and had been used by the BLS to seasonally ad-justed labor force series since 1973. Tests have shownthat use of the X-ll ARIMA procedure, which placesmore emphasis on recent data, provides better seasonaladjustments than does the X-ll method alone.

The second change is that seasonal adjustment factorsare calculated for use during the first 6 months of theyear rather than for the entire year. In July of each year,BLS calculates and publishes in Employment and Earn-ings a set of seasonal adjustment factors for use in thesecond half, based on the experience trrr©t**h- lujoe,Revisions of historical data for the most recent 5 yearsare made at the beginning of each calendar year.However, as a result of the revisions to the estimates for1970-81 based on 1980 census population counts, revi-sions to seasonally adjusted series in early 1982 werecarried back to 1970.

All labor force and unemployment rate statistics, aswell as the major employment and unemploymentestimates, are computed by aggregating independentlyadjusted series. For example, for each of the three ma-jor labor force components-agricultural employment,nonagricultural employment, and unemployment-datafor four sex-age groups (men and women under andover 20 years of age) are separately adjusted forseasonal variation and are then added to deriveseasonally adjusted total figures. The seasonally ad-justed figure for the labor force is the sum of eightseasonally adjusted civilian employment components,plus the resident Armed Forces total (not adjusted forseasonality), and four seasonally adjusted unemploy-ment components; the total for unemployment is thesum of the four unemployment components; and theoverall unemployment rate is derived by dividing theresulting estimate of total unemployment by theestimate of the labor force. Because of the independentseasonal adjustment of various series, components willnot necessarily add to totals.

Revised seasonally adjusted data for selected laborforce series based on the experience through December1984, new seasonal adjustment factors to be used to

167


calculate the civilian unemployment rate for the first 6months of 1985, and a description of the currentseasonal adjustment methodology are published in theJanuary 1985 issue of Employment and Earnings.Revised seasonally adjusted data covering the 1980-84revision period for a broader range of labor force seriesare published in the February 1985 issue of thispublication.

Beginning in July 1980, the BLS also uses the X-llARIMA methodology in seasonally adjusting theestablishment data, which previously#had been com-puted using the BLS Seasonal Factor Method. All seriesare seasonally adjusted using the multiplicative modelsunder X-ll ARIMA. Seasonal adjustment factors usedin calculating the current year's estimates are based onactual data through March 1985 and projected datathrough March 1986. The ARIMA model options forprojecting the data series for 1 year ahead have been us-ed in seasonally adjusting the establishment series sinceJune 1981.

Seasonal adjustment factors are directly applied tothe component levels. Seasonally adjusted totals formost of these series are then obtained by taking aweighted average of the seasonally adjusted data for thecomponent series. Seasonally adjusted average weeklyearnings are the product of seasonally adjusted averagehourly earnings and seasonally adjusted average weeklyhours.

Average weekly earnings in constant dollars,seasonally adjusted, are obtained by dividing averageweekly earnings, seasonally adjusted, by the seasonallyadjusted Consumer Price Index for Urban WageEarners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), and multiplyingby 100. Indexes of aggregate weekly hours, seasonallyadjusted, are obtained by multiplying average weeklyhours, seasonally adjusted, by production or nonsuper-

visory workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing by the1977 base. For total private, total goods-producing,total private service-producing, wholesale trade, retailtrade, manufacturing, and durable and nondurablegoods industries, the indexes of aggregate weekly hours,seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the ag-gregate weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, for the ap-propriate component industries and dividing by the1977 base.

Seasonally adjusted data are not published for anumber of series characterized by small seasonal com-ponents relative to their trend-cycle and/or irregularcomponents. These failed or unsatisfactory seasonallyadjusted series are used in the aggregation to broaderlevel seasonally adjusted series

Beginning in June 1983, seasonal adjustment factorsfor Federal Government employment are derived fromunadjusted data which include Christmas temporaryworkers employed by the Postal Service. In earlier yearsthe number of these workers was substantial, and attimes varied greatly from year to year, based on ad-ministrative decisions of the Postal Service. Hence, itwas considered desirable to exclude this group from theunadjusted data upon which the seasonal adjustment fac-tors were based. In the past several years, the number ofthese workers has decreased to the point where theirpresence has no impact on seasonal adjustment. Tem-porary census takers for the 1980 decennial census areremoved prior to the calculation of seasonal adjustmentfactors for Federal Government employment.

The revised seasonally adjusted series for theestablishment data reflect experience through March1985. Seasonal adjustment factors to be used for currentadjustment appear in the June 1985 issue of Employ-ment and Earnings.
