New Seasonal Adjustment for Household Data Series

Robert J. Mclntire

Semiannually, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the factors to be used during the following 6 months for seasonal adjustment of the major labor force series. Table 1 presents the seasonal adjustment factors for the 12 major labor force components for the period July-December 1995. The factors which were used for these components during the first 6 months of 1995 were published in the January 1995 issue of Employment and Earnings. The 12 seasonally adjusted series which result from the application of these factors are used in the computation of the seasonally ad­justed figures for the national overall levels of labor force, employment, and unemployment and the overall unemploy­ment rate.

The new seasonal factors have been extrapolated using the X-11ARIMA program with data from January 1985 through June 1995 for each series. The ARIMA models used were the same as those used at the beginning of the year for the extrapolation of the factors for January through June; they were identified in the January 1995 issue of this publication. The historical seasonally adjusted data, includ­ing the first 6 months of 1995, will not be revised until the beginning of 1996.

Because of the changes introduced at the beginning of 1994 in the survey and the processing procedures on which the labor force series estimates are based,1 prior adjustment factors were used in these X-l 1 ARIMA runs to link the pre-1994 data with the 1994 data for purposes of seasonal ad­justment. If something had not been done to control for the effect of the changes, the unusual differences in many of the series between December 1993 and January 1994

could have caused distortion in the seasonal decomposi­tion. The prior adjustment factors were computed using pro­cedures and software for intervention analysis seasonal ad­justment developed at BLS.2 The effect of the changes in­troduced in January 1994 was modeled and estimated as a level shift in each series, using data through November 1994. For each series where the estimated level shift met a sig­nificance criteria, the prior adjustment factor produced by the procedure was applied to all pre-1994 observations in X-ll ARIMA. The prior adjustment factors for the 12 ma­jor components are shown in table 1 alongside the seasonal factors.

More detailed information on the adjustment method, the procedures for aggregation, and the revision of historical data is included in "Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Labor Force Series," Employment and Earnings, January 1995.

Data for any of the several hundred seasonally adjusted labor force series and the July-December 1995 seasonal ad­justment factors for any of the other independently adjusted series—there are about 160 in addition to the 12 major com­ponents—may be obtained from BLS upon request. Requests for data or inquiries concerning seasonal adjustment meth­ods or the availability of machine-readable files of other labor force data should be addressed to the Division of Data Development and Publications, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212-0001.

1 The changes were described in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective January 1994** in the February 1994 issue of Employment and Earnings.

2 The theoretical basis is discussed in J.A. Buszuwski and S. Scott, "On the Use of Intervention Analysis in Seasonal Adjustment,*' in the 1988 Proceedings of the Business and Economic Statistics Section, American Statistical Association.

enrolled in school are increased by the temporary movement of high school and college students into that group. Detail for the above race and Hispanic-origin

groups will not sum to totals because data for the "other races" group are not presented and Hispanics are included in both the white and black population groups.

1 Data relate to production workers in mining and manufacturing; construction workers in construction; and nonsupervisory workers in transportation and public utilities; wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services.

2 This series is not published seasonally adjusted because the seasonal component, which is small relative to the trend-cycle and irregular components,

cannot be separated with sufficient precision. p = preliminary. NOTE: Establishment survey estimates are currently projected from March

1994 benchmark levels. When more recent benchmark data are introduced, all seasonally adjusted data from January 1991 forward are subject to revision.

1 Based on seasonally adjusted data for 1-, 3-, and 6-month spans and unadjusted data for the 12-month span. Data are centered within the span.

P = preliminary. NOTE: Figures are the percent of industries with employment increasing plus

one-half of the industries with unchanged employment, where 50 percent

indicates an equal balance between industries with increasing and decreasing employment. Establishment survey estimates are currently projected from March 1994 benchmark levels. When more recent benchmark data are introduced, all unadjusted data (beginning April 1994) and all seasonally adjusted data (beginning January 1991) are subject to revision.

1 Data relate to production workers in mining and manufacturing; construction workers in construction; and nonsupervisory workers in transportation and public utilities; wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services.

2 Derived by assuming that overtime hours are paid at the rate of time and one-half.

3 The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) is used to deflate these series.

4 Not available. 5 These series are not computed because the average weekly hours'

components are not available on a seasonally adjusted basis. p = preliminary. NOTE: Establishment survey estimates are currently projected from March

1994 benchmark levels. When more recent benchmark data are introduced, all seasonally adjusted data from January 1991 forward are subject to revision.

A Note on Average Hourly Earnings in Aircraft (SIC 3721) and Guided Missiles and Space Vehicles (SIC 3761) Manufacturing

For many years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics average hourly earning series for production workers in aircraft manufacturing (sic 3721) and guided missiles and space vehicles manufacturing (sic 3761) have been used to escalate labor costs in contracts between aerospace companies and their customers. Although the Bureau's series by definition take account of traditional wage rate changes, they do not capture "lump-sum payments to workers in lieu of general wage increases" which were negotiated in aerospace manufacturers' collective bargain­ing agreements beginning in late 1983.

Because of special circumstances in the aerospace

industry, BLS has calculated average hourly earnings series for SIC 3721 and SIC 3761 which include lump-sum payments. These series, beginning in October 1983, the effective date of the first aerospace bargaining agreement using lump-sum payments, were published in the June 1988 issue of Employment and Earnings. Current and year earlier data are presented in table B-15a along with the average hourly earnings series produced as part of the Current Employment Statistics program. An explanation of the methodology used to derive these series appears in the Explanatory Notes of this publication.

Explanatory Notes and Estimates of Error

Introduction

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

Data based on household interviews are obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a sample survey of the population 16 years of age and over. The survey is con­ducted each month by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of Labor Statistics and provides comprehensive data on the labor force, the employed, and the unemployed, clas­sified by such characteristics as age, sex, race, family rela­tionship, marital status, occupation, and industry attach­ment. The survey also provides data on the characteristics and past work experience of those not in the labor force. The information is collected by trained interviewers from a sample of about 60,000 households located in 729 sample areas. These areas are chosen to represent all counties and independent cities in the U.S., with coverage in 50 States and the District of Columbia. The data collected are based on the activity or status reported for the calendar week in­cluding the 12th of the month.

Data based on establishment records are compiled each month from mail questionnaires and telephone interviews by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in cooperation with State agencies. The Current Employment Statistics (CES) sur­vey is designed to provide industry information on non-farm wage and salary employment, average weekly hours, average hourly earnings, and average weekly earnings for the Nation, States, and metropolitan areas. The employ­ment, hours, and earnings series are based on payroll re­ports from a sample of about 390,000 establishments em­ploying over 47 million nonfarm wage and salary workers. The data relate to all workers, full or part time, who re­ceive pay during the payroll period which includes the 12th of the month.

RELATION BETWEEN THE HOUSEHOLD AND ESTABLISHMENT SERIES

The household and establishment data complement one another, each providing significant types of information that the other cannot suitably supply. Population characteris­tics, for example, are obtained only from the household survey, whereas detailed industrial classifications are much more reliably derived from establishment reports.

Data from these two sources differ from each other be­cause of variations in definitions and coverage, source of

information, methods of collection, and estimating proce­dures. Sampling variability and response errors are addi­tional reasons for discrepancies. The major factors which have a differential effect on the levels and trends of the two data series are as follows.

Employment

Coverage. The household survey definition of employment comprises wage and salary workers (including domestics and other private household workers), self-employed per­sons, and unpaid workers who worked IS hours or more during the reference week in family-operated enterprises. Employment in both agricultural and nonagricultural in­dustries is included. The payroll survey covers only wage and salary employees on the payrolls of nonfarm establish­ments.

Multiple jobholding. The household survey provides infor­mation on the work status of the population without dupli­cation, since each person is classified as employed, unem­ployed, or not in the labor force. Employed persons hold­ing more than one job are counted only once. In the figures based on establishment reports, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each time their names appear on payrolls.

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

Hours of work The household survey measures hours worked for all

workers whereas the payroll survey measures hours for pri­vate production and nonsupervisory workers paid for by employers. In the household survey, all persons with a job but not at work are excluded from the hours distributions and the computations of average hours at work. In the pay-

roll survey, production or nonsupervisory employees on paid vacation, paid holiday, or paid sick leave are included and assigned the number of hours for which they were paid during the reporting period.

Earnings The household survey measures the earnings of wage

and salary workers in all occupations and industries in both the private and public sectors. Data refer to the usual earn­ings received from the worker's sole or primary job. Data from the establishment survey generally refer to average earnings of production and related workers in mining and manufacturing, construction workers in construction, and nonsupervisory employees in private service-producing in­dustries. For a comprehensive discussion of the various earnings series available from the household and establish­ment surveys, see BLS Measures of Compensation, BLS Bulletin 2239 (1986).

COMPARABILITY OF HOUSEHOLD DATA WITH OTHER SERIES

Unemployment insurance data. The unemployed total from the household survey includes all persons who did not have a job during the reference week, were currently available for a job, and were looking for work or were waiting to be called back to a job from which they had been laid off, whether or not they were eligible for unemployment insur­ance. Figures on unemployment insurance claims, prepared by the Employment and Training Administration of the U.S. Department of Labor, exclude, in addition to otherwise in­eligible persons who do not file claims for benefits, per­sons who have exhausted their benefit rights, new workers who have not earned rights to unemployment insurance, and persons losing jobs not covered by unemployment in­surance systems (some workers in agriculture, domestic services, and religious organizations, and self-employed and unpaid family workers).

In addition, the qualifications for drawing unemployment compensation differ from the definition of unemployment used in the household survey. For example, persons with a job but not at work and persons working only a few hours during the week are sometimes eligible for unemployment compensation but are classified as employed rather than unemployed in the household survey.

For an examination of the similarities and differences between State insured unemployment and total unemploy­ment, see "Measuring Total and State Insured Unemploy­

ment" by Gloria P. Green in the June 1971 issue of the Monthly Labor Review.

Agricultural employment estimates of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The principal differences in coverage are the inclusion of persons under 16 in the National Agricul­tural Statistics Service series and the treatment of dual job­holders, who are counted more than once if they work on more than one farm during the reporting period. There are also wide differences in sampling techniques and data col­lecting and estimating methods, which cannot be readily measured in terms of their impact on differences in the lev­els and trends of the two series.

COMPARABILITY OF PAYROLL EMPLOYMENT DATA WITH OTHER SERIES

Statistics on manufacturers and business, Bureau of the Census. BLS establishment statistics on employment dif­fer from employment counts derived by the Bureau of the Census from its censuses or sample surveys of manufactur­ing and business establishments. The major reasons for noncomparability are different treatment of business units considered parts of an establishment, such as central ad­ministrative offices and auxiliary units; the industrial clas­sification of establishments; and different reporting patterns by multiunit companies. There are also differences in the scope of the industries covered, e.g., the Census of Busi­ness excludes professional services, public utilities, and financial establishments, whereas these are included in the BLS statistics.

County Business Patterns, Bureau of the Census. Data in County Business Patterns (CBP) differ from BLS estab­lishment statistics in the treatment of central administra­tive offices and auxiliary units. Differences may also arise because of industrial classification and reporting practices. In addition, CBP excludes interstate railroads and most of government, and coverage is incomplete for some of the nonprofit agencies.

Employment covered by State unemployment insurance programs. Most nonfarm wage and salary workers are covered by the unemployment insurance programs. However, some employees, such as those working in parochial schools and churches, are not covered by unemployment insurance, whereas they are included in the BLS establishment statistics.

COLLECTION AND COVERAGE

Statistics on the employment status of the population and related data are compiled by BLS using data from the Cur­rent Population Survey (CPS). This monthly survey of house­holds is conducted for BLS by the Bureau of the Census through a scientifically selected sample designed to repre­sent the civilian noninstitutional population. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each member of the household 16 years of age and over. The inquiry relates to activity or status during the cal­endar week, Sunday through Saturday, which includes the 12th day of the month. This is known as the "reference week." Actual field interviewing is conducted in the following week, referred to as the "survey week."

Each month about 60,000 occupied units are eligible for interview. Some 2,600 of these households are contacted but interviews are not obtained because the occupants are not at home after repeated calls or are unavailable for other rea­sons. This represents a noninterview rate for the survey that ranges between 4 and 5 percent. In addition to the 60,000 occupied units, there are 11,500 sample units in an average month which are visited but found to be vacant or otherwise not eligible for enumeration. Part of the sample is changed each month. The rotation plan, as explained later, provides for three-fourths of the sample to be common from one month to the next, and one-half to be common with the same month a year earlier.

CONCEPTS AND DEFINITIONS

The concepts and definitions underlying labor force data have been modified, but not substantially altered, since the inception of the survey in 1940; those in use as of January 1994 are as follows:

Civilian noninstitutional population. Included are persons 16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions (e.g., penal and mental facilities, homes for the aged), and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces.

Employed persons. All persons who, during the reference week, (a) did any work at all (at least 1 hour) as paid em­ployees, worked in their own business, profession, or on their own farm, or who worked 15 hours or more as unpaid work­ers in an enterprise operated by a member of the family, and (b) all those who were not working but who had jobs or busi­nesses from which they were temporarily absent because of vacation, illness, bad weather, child-care problems, mater­

nity or paternity leave, labor-management dispute, job train­ing, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs.

Each employed person is counted only once, even if he or she holds more than one job. For purposes of occupation and industry classification, multiple jobholders are counted in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours during the reference week.

Included in the total are employed citizens of foreign coun­tries who are temporarily in the United States but not living on the premises of an embassy. Excluded are persons whose only activity consisted of work around their own house (painting, repairing, or own home housework) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and other organizations.

Unemployed persons. All persons who had no employment during the reference week, were available for work, except for temporary illness, and had made specific efforts to find employment some time during the 4-week-period ending with the reference week. Persons who were waiting to be recalled to a job from which they had been laid off need not have been looking for work to be classified as unemployed.

Duration of unemployment. This represents the length of time (through the current reference week) that persons classified as unemployed had been looking for work. For persons on layoff, duration of unemployment represents the number of full weeks they had been on layoff. Mean duration is the arithmetic average computed from single weeks of unem­ployment; median duration is the midpoint of a distribution of weeks of unemployment.

Reason for unemployment. Unemployment is also catego­rized according to the status of individuals at the time they began to look for work. The reasons for unemployment are divided into five major groups: (1) Job losers, comprised of (a) persons on temporary layoff, who have been given a date to return to work or who expect to return within 6 months (persons on layoff need not be looking for work to qualify as unemployed), and (b) permanent job losers, whose em­ployment ended involuntarily and who began looking for work; (2) Job leavers are persons who quit or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily and immediately began looking for work; (3) Persons who completed tempo­rary jobs, who began looking for work after the jobs ended; (4) Reentrants are persons who previously worked but were out of the labor force prior to beginning their job search; (5) New entrants are persons who never worked. Each of these five categories of the unemployed can be expressed as a pro­portion of the entire civilian labor force; the sum of the four rates thus equals the unemployment rate for all civilian work-

ers. (For statistical presentation purposes, "job losers" and "persons who completed temporary jobs" are combined into a single category until seasonal adjustments can be devel­oped for the separate categories.)

Jobseekers. All unemployed persons who made specific ef­forts to find a job sometime during the 4-week period pre­ceding the survey week are classified as jobseekers. Jobseekers do not include persons classified as on tempo­rary layoff, who although often looking for work, are not required to do so to be classified as unemployed. Jobseekers are grouped by the methods used to seek work. Only active methods—which have the potential to result in a job offer without further action on the part of the jobseeker—qualify as job search. Examples include going to an employer di­rectly or to a public or private employment agency, seeking assistance from friends or relatives, placing or answering ads, or using some other active method. Examples of the "other" category include being on a union or professional register, obtaining assistance from a community organiza­tion, or waiting at a designated labor pickup point. Passive methods, which do not qualify as job search, include read­ing (as opposed to answering or placing) "help wanted" ads and taking a job training course.

Labor force. This group comprises all persons classified as employed or unemployed in accordance with the criteria described above.

Unemployment rate. The unemployment rate represents the number unemployed as a percent of the labor force.

Participation rate. This represents the proportion of the popu­lation that is in the labor force.

Employment-population ratio. This represents the propor­tion of the population that is employed.

Not in the labor force. Included in this group are all persons in the civilian noninstitutional population who are neither employed nor unemployed. Information is collected on their desire for and availability to take a job at the time of the CPS interview, job search activity in the prior year, and rea­son for not looking in the 4 week period prior to the survey week. This group includes discouraged workers, defined as persons not in the labor force who want and are available for a job and who have looked for work sometime in the past 12 months (or since the end of their last job if they held one within the past 12 months), but are not currently look­ing, because they believe there are no jobs available or there are none for which they would qualify.

Persons classified as not in the labor force who are in the sample for either their fourth or eighth month are asked additional questions relating to job history and workseeking intentions. These latter data are available on a quarterly basis.

Occupation, industry, and class of worker. This information for the employed applies to the job held in the reference week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours. The unemployed are classified according to their last job. The occupational and industrial classification of CPS data is based on the coding systems used in the 1990 census.

The class-of-worker breakdown assigns workers to the following categories: Private and government wage and sal­ary workers, self-employed workers, and unpaid family workers. Wage and salary workers receive wages, salary, commissions, tips, or pay in kind from a private employer or from a government unit. Self-employed persons are those who work for profit or fees in their own business, profes­sion, trade, or farm. Only the unincorporated self-employed are included in the self-employed category in the class of worker typology. Self-employed persons who respond that their businesses are incorporated are included among wage and salary workers, because technically, they are paid em­ployees of a corporation. Unpaid family workers are per­sons working without pay for 15 hours a week or more on a farm or in a business operated by a member of the house­hold to whom they are related by birth or marriage.

Multiple jobholders. These are employed persons who, dur­ing the reference week, had either two or more jobs as a wage and salary worker, were self-employed and also held a wage and salary job, or worked as an unpaid family worker and also held a wage and salary job. A person employed only in private households (cleaner, gardener, babysitter, etc.) who worked for two or more employers during the refer­ence week is not counted as a multiple jobholder, since work­ing for several employers is considered an inherent charac­teristic of private household work. Also excluded are self-employed persons with multiple businesses and persons with multiple jobs as unpaid family workers.

Hours of work. These statistics relate to the actual number of hours worked during the reference week. For example, persons who normally work 40 hours a week but were off on the Columbus Day holiday would be reported as working 32 hours, even though they were paid for the holiday. For per­sons working in more than one job, the published figures relate to the number of hours worked in all jobs during the week; all the hours are credited to the major job. Unpub­lished data are available for the hours worked in each job and for usual hours.

At work part time for economic reasons. Sometimes referred to as involuntary part time, this category refers to individu­als who gave an economic reason for working 1 to 34 hours during the reference week. Economic reasons include slack work or unfavorable business conditions, inability to find full-time work, and seasonal declines in demand. Those who usually work part time must also indicate that they want and are available to work full time to be classified as on part time for economic reasons.

At work part time for noneconomic reasons. This group in­cludes those persons who usually work part time and were at work 1 to 34 hours during the reference week for a non-economic reason. Noneconomic reasons include, for ex­ample: Illness or other medical limitations, child-care prob­lems or other family or personal obligations, school or train­ing, retirement or Social Security limits on earnings, and being in a job where full-time work is less than 35 hours. The group also includes those who gave an economic rea­son for usually working 1 to 34 hours but said they do not want to work full time or were unavailable for such work.

Usual full- or part-time status. Data on persons "at work" exclude persons who were temporarily absent from a job and therefore classified in the zero-hours-worked category, "with a job but not at work." These are persons who were absent from their jobs for the entire week for such reasons as bad weather, vacation, illness, or involvement in a labor dispute. In order to differentiate a person's normal schedule from their activity during the reference week, persons are also classified according to their usual full- or part-time sta­tus. In this context, full-time workers are those who usually worked 35 hours or more (at all jobs combined). This group will include some individuals who worked less than 35 hours in the reference week for either economic or noneconomic reasons and those who are temporarily absent from work. Similarly, part-time workers are those who usually work less than 35 hours per week (at all jobs), regardless of the num­ber of hours worked in the reference week. This may in­clude some individuals who actually worked more than 34 hours in the reference week, as well as those who are tem­porarily absent from work. The full-time labor force includes all employed persons who usually work full time and unem­ployed persons who are either looking for full-time work or are on layoff from full-time jobs. The part-time labor force consists of employed persons who usually work part time and unemployed persons who are seeking or are on layoff from part-time jobs. Unemployment rates for full- and part-time workers are calculated using the concepts of the full-and part-time labor force.

White, black, and other. These are terms used to describe the race of persons. Included in the "other" group are Ameri­can Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Asians and Pacific Island­ers. Because of the relatively small sample size, data for "other" races are not published. In the enumeration pro­cess, race is determined by the household respondent.

Hispanic origin. This refers to persons who identified them­selves in the enumeration process as Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or of other Hispanic ori­gin or descent. Persons of Hispanic origin may be of any race; thus they are included in both the white and black popu­lation groups.

Vietnam-era veterans. These are persons who served in the

Armed Forces of the United States between August 5,1964, and May 7, 1975. Published data are limited to men in the civilian noninstitutional population; i.e., veterans in institu­tions and women are excluded. Nonveterans are persons who never served in the Armed Forces.

Usual weekly earnings. Data represent earnings before taxes and other deductions, and include any overtime pay, com­missions, or tips usually received (at the main job in the case of multiple jobholders.) Earnings reported on a basis other than weekly (e.g., annual, monthly, hourly) are con­verted to weekly. The term "usual" is as perceived by the respondent. If the respondent asks for a definition of usual, interviewers are instructed to define the term as more than half the weeks worked during the past 4 or 5 months. Data refer to wage and salary workers (excluding self-employed persons who respond that their businesses were incorporated) who usually work full time on their sole or primary job.

Median earnings. These figures indicate the value which divides the earnings distribution into two equal parts, one part having values above the median and the other having values below the median. The medians as shown in this pub­lication are calculated by linear interpolation of the $50 cen­tered interval within which each median falls. Data expressed in constant dollars are deflated by the Consumer Price In­dex for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U).

Single, never married; married, spouse present; and other marital status. These are the terms used to define the mari­tal status of individuals at the time of interview. Married, spouse present, applies to husband and wife if both were living in the same household, even though one may be tem­porarily absent on business, vacation, on a visit, in a hospi­tal, etc. Other marital status applies to persons who are mar­ried, spouse absent; widowed; or divorced. Married, spouse absent relates to persons who are separated due to marital problems, as well as husbands and wives who are living apart because one or the other was employed elsewhere, on duty with the Armed Forces, or any other reasons.

Household. A household consists of all persons—related family members and all unrelated persons—who occupy a housing unit and have no other usual address. A house, an apartment, a group of rooms, or a single room is regarded as a housing unit when occupied or intended for occupancy as separate living quarters. A householder is the person (or one of the persons) in whose name the housing unit is owned or rented. The term is never applied to either husbands or wives in married-couple families but relates only to persons in fami­lies maintained by either men or women without a spouse.

Family. A family is defined as a group of two or more per­sons residing together who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption; all such persons are considered as members of one family. Families are classified either as married-couple fami-

lies or as families maintained by women or men without spouses. A family maintained by a woman or a man is one in which the householder is either single, widowed, divorced, or married, spouse absent. Data on the earnings of families exclude all those in which there is no wage or salary earner or in which the husband, wife, or other person maintaining the family is either self-employed or in the Armed Forces.

HISTORICAL COMPARABILITY

Changes in concepts and methods While current survey concepts and methods are very simi­

lar to those introduced at the inception of the survey in 1940, a number of changes have been made over the years to im­prove the accuracy and usefulness of the data. Some of the most important changes include:

• In 1945, the questionnaire was radically changed with the introduction of four basic employment questions. Prior to that time, the survey did not contain specific question wording, but rather relied on a complicated scheme of ac­tivity prioritization.

• In 1953, the current 4-8-4 rotation system was adopted, whereby households are interviewed for 4 consecutive months, leave the sample for 8 months, and then return to the sample for the same 4 months of the following year. Before this system was introduced, households were inter­viewed for 6 consecutive months and then replaced. The new system provided some year-to-year overlap in the sample, thereby improving measurement over time.

• In 1955, the survey reference week was changed to the calendar week including the 12th day of the month, for greater consistency with the reference period used for other labor-related statistics. Previously, the calendar week con­taining the 8th day of the month had been used as the refer­ence week.

• In 1957, the employment definition was modified slightly as a result of a comprehensive interagency review of labor force concepts and methods. Two relatively small groups of persons classified as employed, under "with a job but not at work," were assigned to different classifications. Persons on layoff with definite instructions to return to work within 30 days of the layoff date, and persons volunteering that they were waiting to start a new wage and salary job within 30 days of interview, were, for the most part, reassigned to the unem­ployed classification. The only exception was the small sub­group in school during the reference week but waiting to start new jobs, which was transferred to not in the labor force.

• In 1967, more substantive changes were made as a re­sult of the recommendations of the President's Committee to Appraise Employment and Unemployment Statistics (the

Gordon Committee). The principal improvements were as follows:

a) A 4-week job search period and specific questions on jobseeking activity were introduced. Previously, the ques­tionnaire was ambiguous as to the time period for jobseeking and there were no specific questions concerning job-search methods.

b) An availability test was introduced whereby a person must be currently available for work in order to be classi­fied as unemployed. Previously, there was no such require­ment. This revision to the concept mainly affected students, who, for example, may begin to look for summer jobs in the spring although they will not be available until June or July. Such persons, until 1967, had been classified as unemployed but since have been assigned to the "not in the labor force" category.

c) Persons "with a job but not at work" because of strikes, bad weather, etc., who volunteered that they were looking for work, were shifted from unemployed status to employed.

d) The lower age limit for official statistics on employ­ment, unemployment, and other labor force concepts was raised from 14 to 16 years. Historical data for most major series have been revised to provide consistent information based on the new minimum age limit.

e) New questions were added to obtain additional infor­mation on persons not in the labor force, including those referred to as "discouraged workers," defined as persons who indicate that they want a job but are not currently looking because they believe there are no jobs available or none for which they would qualify.

f) New "probing" questions were added to the question­naire in order to increase the reliability of information on hours of work, duration of unemployment, and self-employ­ment.

• In 1994, major changes to the Current Population Sur­vey (CPS) were introduced, which included a complete re­design of the questionnaire and the use of computer-assisted interviewing for the entire survey. In addition, there were revisions to some of the labor force concepts and defini­tions, including the implementation of some changes rec­ommended in 1979 by the National Commission on Em­ployment and Unemployment Statistics (NCEUS, also known as the Levitan Commission). Some of the major changes to the survey were:

a) The introduction of a redesigned and automated ques­tionnaire. The CPS questionnaire was totally redesigned in order to obtain more accurate, comprehensive, and relevant

information, and to take advantage of state-of-the-art com­puter interviewing techniques.

b) The addition of two, more objective, criteria to the defi­nition of discouraged workers. Prior to 1994, to be classi­fied as a discouraged worker, a person must have wanted a job and be reported as not currently looking because of a belief that no jobs were available or that there were none for which he or she would qualify. Beginning in 1994, persons classified as discouraged must also have looked for a job within the past year (or since their last job, if they worked during the year), and must have been available for work during the reference week (a direct question on availability was added in 1994; prior to 1994, availability had been in­ferred from responses to other questions). These changes were made because the NCEUS and others felt that the pre­vious definition of discouraged workers was too subjective, relying mainly on an individual's stated desire for a job and not on prior testing of the labor market.

c) Similarly, the identification of persons employed part time for economic reasons (working less than 35 hours in the reference week because of poor business conditions or because of an inability to find full-time work) was tightened by adding two new criteria for persons who usually work part time: They must want and be available for full-time work. Previously, such information was inferred. (Persons who usually work full time but worked part time for an eco­nomic reason during the reference week are assumed to meet these criteria.)

d) Specific questions were added about the expectation of recall for persons who indicate that they are on layoff. To be classified as "on temporary layoff," persons must expect to be recalled to their jobs. Previously, the questionnaire did not include explicit questions about the expectation of re­call.

e) Persons volunteering that they were waiting to start a new job within 30 days must have looked for work in the 4 weeks prior to the survey in order to be classified as unem­ployed. Previously, such persons did not have to meet the job-search requirement in order to be included among the unemployed.

Noncomparability of labor force levels In addition to the refinements in concepts, definitions, and

methods made over the years, other changes have also af­fected the comparability of the labor force data.

• Beginning in 1953, as a result of introducing data from the 1950 census into the estimating procedures, population levels were raised by about 600,000; labor force, total em­ployment, and agricultural employment were increased by about 350,000, primarily affecting the figures for totals and men; other categories were relatively unaffected.

• Beginning in 1960, the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii resulted in an increase of about 500,000 in the population and about 300,000 in the labor force. Four-fifths of this in­crease was in nonagricultural employment; other labor force categories were not appreciably affected.

• Beginning in 1962, the introduction of data from the 1960 census reduced the population by about 50,000 and labor force and employment by about 200,000; unemploy­ment totals were virtually unchanged.

• Beginning in 1972, information from the 1970 census was introduced into the estimation procedures, increasing the population by about 800,000; labor force and employ­ment totals were raised by a little more than 300,000; unem­ployment levels and rates were essentially unchanged.

• In March 1973, a subsequent population adjustment based on the 1970 census was introduced. This adjustment, which affected the white and black-and-other groups but had little effect on totals, resulted in the reduction of nearly 300,000 in the white population and an increase of the same magnitude in the black-and-other population. Civilian labor force and total employment figures were affected to a lesser degree; the white labor force was reduced by 150,000, and the black-and-other labor force rose by about 210,000. Un­employment levels and rates were not significantly affected.

• Beginning in January 1974, the method used to prepare independent estimates of the civilian noninstitutional popu­lation was modified to an "inflation-deflation" approach. This change in the derivation of the estimates had its great­est impact on estimates of 20- to 24-year old men—particu­larly those of the black-and-other population—but had little effect on estimates of the total population 16 years and over. Additional information on the adjustment procedure appears in "CPS Population Controls Derived from Inflation-Defla­tion Method of Estimation," in the February 1974 issue of this publication.

• Effective in July 1975, as a result of the large inflow of Vietnamese refugees into the United States, the total and

black-and-other independent population controls for per­sons 16 years and over were adjusted upward by 76,000 — (30,000 men and 46,000 women). The addition of the refu­gees increased the black-and-other population by less than 1 percent in any age-sex group, with all of the changes be­ing confined to the "other" component of the population.

• Beginning in January 1978, the introduction of an ex­pansion in the sample and revisions in the estimation proce­dures resulted in an increase of about 250,000 in the civilian labor force and employment totals; unemployment levels and rates were essentially unchanged. An explanation of the procedural changes and an indication of the differences ap­pear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey in Janu­ary 1978" in the February 1978 issue of this publication.

• Beginning in October 1978, the race of the individual was determined by the household respondent for the incom­ing rotation group households, rather than by the interviewer as before. The purpose of this change was to provide more accurate estimates of characteristics by race. Thus, in Octo­ber 1978, one-eighth of the sample households had race de­termined by the household respondent and seven-eighths of the sample households had race determined by interviewer observation. It was not until January 1980 that the entire sample had race determined by the household respondent. The new procedure had no significant effect on the estimates.

• Beginning in January 1979, the first-stage ratio adjust­ment method was changed in the CPS estimation procedure. Differences between the old and new procedures existed only for metropolitan and nonmetropolitan area estimates, not for the total United States. The reasoning behind the change and an indication of the differences appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey in January 1979" in the Febru­ary 1979 issue of this publication.

• Beginning in January 1982, the second-stage ratio ad­justment method was changed. The purpose of the change and an indication of its effect on national estimates of labor force characteristics appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1982" in the Feb­ruary 1982 issue of this publication. In addition, current population estimates used in the second-stage estimation pro­cedure were derived from information obtained from the 1980 census, rather than the 1970 census. This change caused substantial increases in the total population and in the esti­mates of persons in all labor force categories. Rates for la­bor force characteristics, however, remained virtually un­changed. Some 30,000 labor force series were adjusted back to 1970 to avoid major breaks in series. The adjustment pro­cedure used is also described in the February 1982 article cited above. The revisions did not, however, smooth out the breaks in series occurring between 1972 and 1979 (described above), and data users should consider them when

comparing estimates from different periods.

• Beginning in January 1983, the first-stage ratio adjust­ment method was updated to incorporate data from the 1980 census. The purpose of the change and an indication of its effect on national estimates of labor force characteristics appear in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Be­ginning in January 1983" in the February 1983 issue of this publication. There were only slight differences between the old and new procedures in estimates of levels for the vari­ous labor force characteristics and virtually no differences in estimates of participation rates.

• Beginning in January 1985, most of the steps of the CPS estimation procedure—the noninterview adjustment, the first- and second-stage ratio adjustments, and the com­posite estimator—were revised. These procedures are de­scribed in the Estimating Methods section. A description of the changes and an indication of their effect on national es­timates of labor force characteristics appear in "Changes in the Estimation Procedure in the Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1985" in the February 1985 issue of this publication. Overall, the revisions had only a slight ef­fect on most estimates. The greatest impact was on estimates of persons of Hispanic origin. Major estimates were revised back to January 1980.

• Beginning in January 1986, the population controls used in the second-stage ratio adjustment method were revised to reflect an explicit estimate of the number of undocumented immigrants (largely Hispanic) since 1980 and an improved estimate of the number of emigrants among legal foreign-born residents for the same time period. As a result, the total civilian population and labor force estimates were raised by nearly 400,000; civilian employment was increased by about 350,000. The Hispanic-origin population and labor force estimates were raised by about 425,000 and 305,000, respec­tively, and Hispanic employment by 270,000. Overall and subgroup unemployment levels and rates were not signifi­cantly affected. Because of the magnitude of the adjustments for Hispanics, data were revised back to January 1980 to the extent possible. An explanation of the changes and their effect on estimates of labor force characteristics appear in "Changes in the Estimation Procedure in the Current Popu­lation Survey Beginning in January 1986" in the February 1986 issue of this publication.

• Beginning in August 1989, the second-stage ratio esti­mate cells were changed slightly to decrease the chance of very small cells occurring and to be more consistent with published age, sex, race cells. This change had virtually no effect on national estimates.

• Beginning in January 1994, population estimates used in the second stage estimation procedure were based on in-

formation obtained from the 1990 census (adjusted for the undercount as measured by the Census Bureau's Post Enu­meration Survey). This change resulted in substantial in­creases in total population and in all major labor force cat­egories. Under the new population controls, the civilian noninstitutional population increased by about 1.3 million, with much of the increase occurring among Hispanics. Esti­mates of employment were raised by about 950,000, and unemployment by approximately 200,000. In addition, the overall unemployment rate rose by about 0.1 percentage point, largely reflecting the increase in the Hispanic share of the population, which has a higher-than-average incidence of unemployment. For further information, see "Revisions to the Current Population Survey Effective January 1994," in the February 1994 issue of this publication.

Additionally, for the period January through May 1994, the composite estimation procedure was suspended due to technical and logistical reasons.

Changes in the occupational and industrial classification system

Beginning in 1971, the comparability of occupational employment data was affected as a result of changes in the occupational classification system for the 1970 census that were introduced into the CPS, Comparability was further affected in December 1971, when a question relating to major activity or duties was added to the monthly CPS question­naire in order to determine more precisely the occupational classification of individuals. As a result of these changes, meaningful comparisons of occupational employment lev­els could not be made between 1971-72 and prior years nor between those 2 years. Unemployment rates were not sig­nificantly affected. For a further explanation of the changes in the occupational classification system, see "Revisions in Occupational Classifications for 1971" and "Revisions in the Current Population Survey" in the February 1971 and February 1972 issues, respectively, of this publication.

Beginning in January 1983, the occupational and indus­trial classification systems used in the 1980 census were in­troduced into the CPS. The 1980 census occupational clas­sification system evolved from the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system and was so radically different in concepts and nomenclature from the 1970 system that comparisons of historical data are not possible without ma­jor adjustments. For example, the 1980 major group "sales occupations" is substantially larger than the 1970 category "sales workers." Major additions include "cashiers" from "clerical workers" and some self-employed proprietors in retail trade establishments from "managers and administra­tors, except farm."

The industrial classification system used in the 1980 cen­sus was based on the 1972 Standard Industrial Classifica­tion (SIC) system, as modified in 1977. The adoption of the new system had much less of an adverse effect on historical comparability than did the new occupational system. The most notable changes from the 1970 system were the trans­

fer of farm equipment stores from "retail" to "wholesale" trade, postal service from "public administration" to "trans­portation," and some interchange between "professional and related services" and "public administration." Additional in­formation on the 1980 census occupational and industrial classification systems appears in "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Beginning in January 1983" in the Feb­ruary 1983 issue of this publication.

Beginning in January 1992, the occupational and indus­trial classification systems used in the 1990 census were in­troduced into the CPS. (These systems were largely based on the 1980 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) and 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) systems, respec­tively.) There were a few breaks in comparability between the 1980 and 1990 census-based systems, particularly within the "technical, sales, and administrative support" categories. The most notable changes in industry classification were the shift of several industries from "business services" to "professional services" and the splitting of some industries into smaller, more detailed categories. A number of industry titles were changed as well, with no change in content.

Sampling Since the inception of the survey, there have been various

changes in the design of the CPS sample. The sample is tra­ditionally redesigned and a new sample selected after each decennial census. Also, the number of sample areas and the number of sample persons are changed occasionally. Most of these changes are made in order to improve the efficiency of the sample design and/or to increase the reliability of the sample estimates. When Alaska and Hawaii received state­hood, three sample areas were added to the existing sample to account for the population of these States. In January 1978, a supplemental sample of 9,000 housing units, selected in 24 States and the District of Columbia, was designed to pro­vide more reliable annual average estimates for States. In October 1978, a coverage improvement sample of approxi­mately 450 sample household units representing 237,000 occupied mobile homes and 600,000 new construction hous­ing units was added. In January 1980, another supplemental sample of 9,000 households selected in 32 States and the District of Columbia was added. A sample reduction of about 6,000 units was implemented in May 1981. In January 1982, the sample was expanded by 100 households to provide ad­ditional coverage in counties added to Standard Metropoli­tan Statistical Areas (SMS As), which were redefined in 1973. In January 1985, a new State-based CPS sample was selected based on 1980 census information. A sample reduction of about 4,000 households was implemented in April 1988; they were reinstated during the 8-month period, April-Novem­ber 1989. A redesigned CPS sample based on the 1990 de­cennial census has been selected for use during the 1990's. Households from this new sample will be phased in during the April 1994 through July 1995 period. For further infor­mation see "Redesign of the Sample for the Current Popula­tion Survey" in the May 1994 issue of this publication.

The 1980 census-based sample design includes about 72,000 housing units per month located in 729 selected geo­graphic areas called primary sampling units (PSU's). The sample was initially selected so that specific reliability cri­teria were met nationally, for each of the 50 States, for the District of Columbia, and for the sub-State areas of New York City and the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area. Since 1985, these reliability criteria have been main­tained through periodic additions and deletions in the State samples. The criteria, given below, are based on the coeffi­cient of variation (CV) of the unemployment rate, where the CV is defined as the standard error of the estimate divided by the estimate, expressed as a percentage. These CV con­trols assume a 6-percent unemployment rate to establish a consistent specification of sampling error.

Nationally, a 1.8-percent CV is maintained on the monthly unemployment rate estimate. This means that a change of 0.2 percentage point in the unemployment rate is significant at a 90-percent confidence level.

In 11 States—California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas—the most populous States at the time of the 1980 decennial census, an 8-percent CV is main­tained on the monthly unemployment rate estimates. In the other 39 States and the District of Columbia, an 8-percent CV is maintained on the annual unemployment rate esti­mate. In New York City and the Los Angeles-Long Beach metropolitan area, a 9-percent CV is maintained on the monthly unemployment rate estimates.

In the first stage of sampling, the 729 sample areas are chosen. In the second stage, ultimate sampling unit clusters composed of about four housing units each are selected. Each month, about 72,000 housing units are assigned for data collection, of which about 60,000 are occupied and thus eli­gible for interview. The remainder are units found to be de­stroyed, vacant, converted to nonresidential use, containing persons whose usual place of residence is elsewhere, or in­eligible for other reasons. Of the 60,000 housing units, 4 to 5 percent are not interviewed in a given month due to tem­porary absence (vacation, etc.), other failures to make con­tact after repeated attempts, inability of persons contacted to respond, unavailability for other reasons, and refusals to cooperate (about half of the noninterviews). Information is obtained each month for about 113,000 persons 16 years of age and older.

Selection of sample areas. The entire area of the United States, consisting of 3,137 counties and independent cities, is divided into 1,973 sample units (PSU's). In most States, a PSU consists of a county or a number of contiguous coun­ties. In New England and Hawaii, minor civil divisions are used instead of counties.

Metropolitan areas within a State are used as a basis for forming PSU's. Outside of metropolitan areas, counties nor­mally are combined, except where the geographic area of the sample county is very large. Combining counties to form

PSU's provides greater heterogeneity; a typical PSU includes urban and rural residents of both high and low economic levels and encompasses, to the extent feasible, diverse oc­cupations and industries. Another important consideration is to have the PSU sufficiently compact so that, with a small sample spread throughout, it can be efficiently canvassed without undue travel cost.

The 1,973 PSU's are grouped into strata within each State. Then one PSU is selected from each stratum with the prob­ability of selection proportional to the population of the PSU. There are 314 PSU's in strata by themselves that are self-representing, and generally these are the most populated PSU's in each State. The remaining strata are formed by combining PSU's that are similar in such characteristics as population growth; proportions of blacks and of Hispanics (in certain States); and population distribution by occupa­tion, industry, age, and sex. The PSU's, randomly selected from these strata, are non-self-representing, because each one chosen represents the entire stratum. The probability of selecting a particular PSU in a non-self-representing stra­tum is proportional to its 1980 population. For example, within a stratum, the chance that a PSU with a population of 50,000 would be selected for the sample is twice that for a PSU having a population of 25,000.

Selection of sample households. Because the sample design is State based, the sampling ratio differs by State and de­pends on the reliability requirements for estimates for each State. The State sampling ratios range roughly from 1 in every 200 households to 1 in every 2,500 households in each stratum of the State. The sampling ratio occasionally is modified slightly to hold the size of the sample relatively constant given the overall growth of the population. The sam­pling ratio used within a sample PSU depends on the prob­ability of selection of the PSU and the sampling ratio for the State. In a sample PSU with a probability of selection of 1 in 10 with a State sampling ratio of 1 in 2,500, the within-PSU sampling ratio that results is 1 in 250, thereby achieving the desired ratio of 1 in 2,500 for the stratum.

Within each designated PSU, several steps are involved in selecting the housing units to be enumerated. First, the 1980 census enumeration districts (ED's), which are admin­istrative units and contain on the average about 300 housing units, are ordered so that the sample would reflect the de­mographic and residential characteristics of the PSU. Within each ED, the housing units are sorted geographically and are grouped into clusters of approximately four housing units. Next, a systematic sample of these clusters of housing units is selected.

The identification of the sample housing units within an ED is made wherever possible from the list of ED addresses compiled during the 1980 census. The address lists are used in about three-fourths of the ED's, primarily in urban areas. Area sampling is applied in the remaining ED's, mostly in rural areas. In ED's where address lists are used, automated methods are used to form clusters of geographically con-

tiguous housing units. An effort is made to have all small, multi-unit addresses (two to four housing units) included in the same cluster. The methods use the within-PSU sampling ratio to identify appropriate clusters for the sample. Supple­mental samples are also prepared to account for addresses in isolated geographic areas and to account for housing units not found on the address lists, including housing units newly constructed in the PSU since the census date. The addresses of these units are obtained mainly from records of building permits.

In those ED's where area sampling methods are used, mainly rural areas, the ED's are subdivided into small land "chunks" with well-defined boundaries and having, in gen­eral, an expected "size" of about 8 to 12 housing units or other living quarters. For each subdivided ED, one chunk (or more) is designated for the sample. When a selected chunk contains about four households, for example, all units are included in the sample. When the size of the chunk is sev­eral times four units, an interviewer does not conduct inter­views at all housing units in the chunk but uses a systematic sampling pattern to obtain approximately four households. The remaining housing units in the chunk are then available for further samples. Area ED's also make use of building permit lists to identify newly constructed housing units.

Rotation of sample. Part of the sample is changed each month. For each sample, eight representative subsamples or rota­tion groups are identified. A given rotation group is inter­viewed for a total of 8 months, divided into two equal peri­ods. It is in the sample for 4 consecutive months, leaves the sample during the following 8 months, and then returns for another 4 consecutive months. In any 1 month, one-eighth of the rotation groups are in their first month of enumera­tion, another eighth is in their second month, and so on.

Under this system, 75 percent of the sample segments are common from month to month and SO percent from year to year for the same month. This procedure provides a sub­stantial amount of month-to-month and year-to-year over­lap in the sample, thus providing better estimates of change and reducing discontinuities in the series of data without burdening any specific group of households with an unduly long period of inquiry.

Table 1-A provides a description of some aspects of the CPS sample design in use since 1947. A more detailed ac­count of the history of the CPS sample design appears in The Current Population Survey: Design and Methodology, Technical Paper No. 40, Bureau of the Census, or Concepts and Methods Used in Labor Force Statistics Derived from the Current Population Survey, Report 463, Bureau of Labor Statistics. A description of the 1980 census-based sample appears in "Redesign of the Sample for the Current Population Survey," in the May 1984 issue of this publica­tion.

ESTIMATING METHODS

Under the estimating methods used in the CPS, all of the results for a given month become available simultaneously and are based on returns from the entire panel of respon­dents. The estimation procedure involves weighting the data from each sample person by the inverse of the probability of the person being in the sample. This gives a rough measure of the number of actual persons that the sample person rep­resents. Since 1985, almost all sample persons within the same State have the same probability of selection. Excep­tions include sample persons in New York and California, where households in New York City and Los Angeles are selected with higher probability. Selection probabilities may

also differ for some sample areas due to field subsampling, which is carried out when areas selected for the sample are found to contain many more households than expected. Though a series of estimation steps (outlined below), the selection probabilities are adjusted for noninterviews and survey undercoverage; data from previous months are in­corporated into the estimates through the composite estima­tion procedure.

1. Noninterview adjustment. The weights for all interviewed households are adjusted to the extent needed to account for occupied sample households for which no information was obtained because of absence, impassable roads, refusals, or unavailability of the respondents for other reasons. This noninterview adjustment is made separately for clusters of similar sample areas that are usually, but not necessarily, contained within a State. Similarity of sample areas is based on Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) status and size. Within each cluster, there is a further breakdown by resi­dence. Each MSA cluster is split by "central city" and "bal­ance of the MSA." Each non-MSA cluster is split by "ur­ban" and "rural" residence categories. The proportion of sample households not interviewed varies from 4 to 5 per­cent, depending upon weather, vacation, etc.

2. Ratio estimates. The distribution of the population se­lected for the sample may differ somewhat, by chance, from that of the population as a whole in such characteristics as age, race, sex, and State of residence. Because these charac­teristics are closely correlated with labor force participation and other principal measurements made from the sample, the survey estimates can be substantially improved when weighted appropriately by the known distribution of these population characteristics. This is accomplished through two stages of ratio adjustment, as follows:

a. First-stage ratio estimation. The purpose of the first-stage ratio adjustment is to reduce the contribution to vari­ance that results from selecting a sample of PSU's rather than drawing sample households from every PSU in the Nation. This adjustment is made to the CPS weights in two race cells: Black and nonblack; it is applied only to PSU's that are not self-representing and for those States that have a substantial number of black households. The procedure cor­rects for differences that existed in each State cell at the time of the 1980 census between 1) the race distribution of the population in sample PSU's and 2) the race distribution of all PSU's (both 1 and 2 exclude self-representing PSU's).

b. Second-stage ratio estimation. This procedure sub­stantially reduces the variability of estimates and corrects, to some extent, for CPS undercoverage. The CPS sample weights are adjusted to ensure that sample-based estimates of population match independent population controls. Three sets of controls are used:

1) 51 State controls of the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years of age and older,

2) National civilian noninstitutional population controls for 14 Hispanic and 5 non-Hispanic age-sex categories,

3) National civilian noninstitutional population controls for 66 white, 42 black, and 10 "other" age-sex categories.

The independent population controls are prepared by pro­jecting forward the resident population as enumerated on April 1, 1990. The projections are derived by updating de­mographic census data with information from a variety of other data sources that account for births, deaths, and net migration. Estimated numbers of resident Armed Forces per­sonnel and institutionalized persons reduce the resident popu­lation to the civilian noninstitutional population. Estimates of net census undercount, determined from the Post Enu­meration Survey, are added to the population projections. Prior to January 1994, the projections were based on earlier censuses, and there was no correction for census undercount. A summary of the current procedures used to make popula­tion projections is given in "Revisions in the Current Popu­lation Survey Effective January 1994," appearing in the Feb­ruary 1994 issue of this publication.

3. Composite estimation procedure. The last step in the preparation of most CPS estimates makes use of a compos­ite estimation procedure. The composite estimate consists of a weighted average of two factors: The two-stage ratio estimate based on the entire sample from the current month and the composite estimate for the previous month, plus an estimate of the month-to-month change based on the six ro­tation groups common to both months. In addition, a bias adjustment term is added to the weighted average to account for relative bias associated with month-in-sample estimates. This month-in-sample bias is exhibited by unemployment estimates for persons in their first and fifth months in the CPS being generally higher than estimates obtained for the other months.

The composite estimate results in a reduction in the sam­pling error beyond that which is achieved after the two stages of ratio adjustment. For some items, the reduction is substan­tial. The resultant gains in reliability are greatest in estimates of month-to-month change, although gains are also usually obtained for estimates of level in a given month, change from year to year, and change over other intervals of time.

Rounding of estimates The sums of individual items may not always equal the

totals shown in the same tables because of independent rounding of totals and components to the nearest thousand. Similarly, sums of percent distributions may not always equal 100 percent because of rounding. Differences, however, are insignificant.

Reliability of the estimates There are two types of errors possible in an estimate based

on a sample survey—sampling and nonsampling. The stan­dard errors provided indicate primarily the magnitude of the sampling error. They also incorporate the effect of some nonsampling errors in response and enumeration but do not account for any systematic biases in the data.

Nonsampling error. The full extent of nonsampling error is unknown, but special studies have been conducted to quan­tify some sources of nonsampling error in the CPS, as dis­cussed below. The effect of nonsampling error should be small on estimates of relative change, such as month-to-month change. Estimates of monthly levels would be more severely affected by the nonsampling error.

Nonsampling errors in surveys can be attributed to many sources, e.g., the inability to obtain information about all persons in the sample; differences in the interpretation of questions; inability or unwillingness of respondents to pro­vide correct information; inability to recall information; er­rors made in collecting and processing the data; errors made in estimating values for missing data; and failure to repre­sent all sample households and all persons within sample households (undercoverage).

Nonsampling errors occurring in the interview phase of the survey are studied by means of a reinterview program. This program is used to estimate various sources of error as well as to evaluate and control the work of the interviewers. A random sample of each interviewer's work is inspected through reinterview at regular intervals. The results indi­cate, among other things, that the data published from the CPS are subject to moderate systematic biases. A descrip­tion of the CPS reinterview program and some of the other results may be found in The Current Population Survey Reinterview Program, January 1961 through December 1966, Technical Paper No. 19, Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce.

The effects of some components of nonsampling error in the CPS data can be examined as a result of the rotation plan used for the sample, since the level of the estimates varies by rotation group. A description of these effects appears in "The Effects of Rotation Group Bias on Estimates From Panel Surveys," by Barbara A. Bailar, Journal of the Ameri­can Statistical Association, Volume 70, No. 349, March 1975.

Undercoverage in the CPS results from missed housing units and missed persons within sample households. The CPS covers about 94 percent of the decennial census population. It is known that the CPS undercoverage varies with age, sex, race, and Hispanic origin. Generally, undercoverage is larger for men than for women and larger for blacks, Hispanics, and other races than for whites. Ratio adjustment to inde­pendent age-sex-race-origin population controls, as described previously, partially corrects for the biases due to survey undercoverage. However, biases exist in the estimates to the extent that missed persons in missed households or missed persons in interviewed households have different character­

istics than interviewed persons in the same age-sex-race-origin group.

Additional information on nonsampling error in the CPS appears in An Error Profile: Employment as Measured by the Current Population Survey, by Camilla Brooks and Bar­bara Bailar, Statistical Policy Working Paper 3, U.S. De­partment of Commerce, Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards; in "The Current Population Survey: An Over­view," by Marvin Thompson and Gary Shapiro, Annals of Economic and Social Measurement, Vol. 2, April 1973; and in The Current Population Survey, Design and Methodol­ogy, Technical Paper No. 40, Bureau of the Census, U.S. Department of Commerce. This last document includes a comprehensive discussion of various sources of errors and describes attempts to measure them in the CPS.

Sampling error. When a sample rather than the entire popu­lation is surveyed, estimates differ from the true population values that they represent. This difference, or sampling er­ror, occurs by chance, and its variability is measured by the standard error of the estimate. Sample estimates from a given survey design are unbiased when an average of the estimates from all possible samples would yield, hypothetically, the true population value. In this case, the sample estimate and its standard error can be used to construct approximate con­fidence intervals, or ranges of values, that include the true population value with known probabilities. If the process of selecting a sample from the population were repeated many times and an estimate and its standard error calculated for each sample, then:

1. Approximately 68 percent of the intervals from one standard error below the estimate to one standard error above the estimate would include the true population value.

2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.6 stan­dard errors below the estimate to 1.6 standard errors above the estimate would include the true population value.

3. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from two standard errors below the estimate to two standard errors above the estimate would include the true population value.

Although the estimating methods used in the CPS do not produce unbiased estimates, biases for most estimates are believed to be small enough so that these confidence inter­val statements are approximately true.

Since it would be too costly to develop standard errors for all CPS estimates, generalized variance function techniques are used to calculate sets of standard errors for various types of labor force characteristics. It is important to keep in mind that standard errors computed from these methods reflect con-tributions from sampling errors and some kinds of nonsampling errors and indicate the general magnitude of an estimate's standard error rather than its precise value.

The generalized variance functions and standard errors

provided here are based on the sample design and estima­tion procedures as of 1987 and have been adjusted to reflect the population levels and sample size as of 1993, as well as the use of new population controls based on the 1990 cen­sus. For years prior to 1967, the standard errors obtained must be further adjusted to reflect the CPS sample size in effect at that time. For years prior to 1956, standard errors should be multiplied by 1.5; for the years 1956 through 1966, standard errors should be multiplied by 1.22.

Tables 1-B through 1-H are provided so that approximate standard errors of estimates can be easily obtained. These tables are briefly summarized here; details illustrating the proper use of each table follow.

Tables 1-B and 1-C show standard errors for estimated monthly levels and rates for selected employment status characteristics; these tables also provide standard errors for consecutive month-to-month changes in the estimates. These standard errors are based on levels of recent estimates and can be determined directly by finding the characteristic of interest.

Tables 1-D and 1-E show standard errors for monthly lev­els and consecutive monthly changes in levels for general employment status characteristics. The standard errors are calculated using linear interpolation based on the size of the monthly estimates.

Tables 1-F and 1-G give parameters that can be used with formulas to calculate a standard error on nearly any speci­fied level, unemployment rate, percentage, or consecutive month-to-month change. For monthly levels and consecu­tive month-to-month changes in levels, tables 1-F and 1-G are preferred to tables 1-D and 1-E, since the formulas pro­vide more accurate results than linear interpolation.

Table 1-H presents factors used to convert standard errors of monthly levels and rates determined from tables 1-B, 1-C, 1-D, and 1-F to standard errors pertaining to quarterly and yearly averages, consecutive year-to-year changes of monthly estimates, and changes in quarterly and yearly averages.

The standard errors for estimated changes from 1 month to the next, 1 year to the next, etc., depend more on the monthly levels for characteristics than on the size of the changes. Accordingly, tables 1-E, 1-G, and 1-H use monthly levels (not the magnitude of the changes) for approximating standard errors of change. Standard errors for estimated change between nonconsecutive months are not provided (except for year-to-year change); however, these may be assumed to be higher than the standard errors for consecu­tive monthly change.

Use of tables 1-B and 1-C. These tables provide a quick reference for standard errors of major characteristics. Table 1-B gives approximate standard errors for estimates of monthly levels and consecutive month-to-month changes in levels for major employment status categories. Table 1-C gives approximate standard errors for estimates of monthly unemployment rates and consecutive month-to-month

changes in unemployment rates for some demographic, in­dustrial, and occupational categories. For characteristics not given in tables 1-B and 1-C, refer to either tables 1-D and 1-E or tables 1-F and 1-G.

Illustration. Suppose that for a given month the number of women 20 years and over in the civilian labor force is esti­mated to be 54,000,000. For this characteristic, the approxi­mate standard error of 204,000 is given in table 1-B in the row 'Total, Women 20 years and over: Civilian labor force." A 90-percent confidence interval as shown by these data, would then be the interval from 53,674,000 to 54,326,000. Concluding that the true labor force level lies within this interval would be correct for roughly 90 percent of all possible samples.

Use of tables 1-D and 1-E. From these tables, approximate standard errors can be calculated for estimates of monthly levels and month-to-month changes in levels for major la-

bor force characteristics by race and Hispanic origin. For major categories not shown, such as male or female, tables 1-F and 1-G can be used. Standard errors for intermediate values not shown in the tables may be approximated by lin­ear interpolation. For table 1-E, which applies to estimates of consecutive month-to-month change, the average of the two monthly levels (not the change) is used to select the appropriate row in the table.

Illustration. Assume that between 2 consecutive months the estimated number of employed persons changed from

115,600,000 to 116,700,000, an apparent increase of 1,100,000. The approximate standard error on this month-to-month change estimate is based on the average level of the estimate for the 2 months, 116,150,000. Using the table 1-E column titled "Labor force data other than unemploy­ment and agricultural employment, Total," it is necessary to find the standard errors corresponding to the two monthly level entries between which the value 116,150,000 lies. The standard error corresponding to 100,000,000 is given as 252,000, and the standard error corresponding to 120,000,000 is given as 223,000. Use linear interpolation to find the ap­proximate standard error on month-to-month change corre­sponding to the level 116,150,000; one method of calcula­tion is given below.

^120,000,000-100,000,000 J * " * " w j " ^

Thus, a 90-percent confidence interval for the true month-to-month change would be approximately the interval from 734,000 to 1,466,000.

Use of tables 1-F and 1-G. These tables can be used to find approximate standard errors for a wide range of estimated monthly levels, proportions, rates, and estimates of consecu­tive monthly change. Instead of displaying standard errors, these tables provide parameters to be used with the formu­las given below that allow the user to calculate standard errors.

Table 1-G, which applies to estimates of consecutive monthly change, lists parameters for some characteristics classified by a measure of correlation between monthly es­timates. Estimates of the number of persons employed full time, for example, change relatively little from one month to the next, and the two monthly estimates are said to be highly correlated. Consecutive monthly estimates of part-time employment, by contrast, have low correlation, since these estimates are relatively volatile.

Major characteristics for which consecutive monthly es­timates are known to have high or low correlation are indi­cated in table 1-G. Not all categories in table 1-G, however, are broken down into low or high correlation characteris­tics. When high or low correlation is not specified in table 1-G, the parameters in table 1-G should be selected from the rows labeled "Most characteristics" or from rows not speci­fying correlation.

Standard errors of estimated levels. The approximate stan­dard error, sx, of an estimated monthly level, x, can be ob­tained using the formula below, where a and b are the pa­rameters from table 1-F associated with the particular char­acteristic. The same formula can be used to approximate the standard error of an estimated month-to-month change in level; simply average the levels for the 2 consecutive months

and use the parameters from table 1-G.

sx = V ax2+ bx

Illustration. Assume that in a given month there are an esti­mated 6 million unemployed men in the civilian labor force (x = 6,000,000). Obtain the appropriate a and b parameters from table 1-F ("Unemployment, total or white"). Use the formula to compute an approximate standard error on the estimate of 6,000,000.

a =-0.000015942 b = 2576.83

Sx = A/(-0.000015942X6,000,000)2 + (2576.83X6,000,000) = 122,000

Suppose that in the next month the estimated number of unemployed men increases by 200,000 to 6,200,000. The average of the monthly levels is x = 6,100,000. Obtain the appropriate a and b parameters from table 1-G ("Unemploy­ment, Total or white, Total, men, women"). Use the formula to compute an approximate standard error on the estimated change of 200,000.

a = -0.000083130 b = 3652.76

Sx = V-(0.000083130X6,100,000)2 + (3652.76X6,100,000) = 139,000

An approximate 90-percent confidence interval for the true month-to-month change would be the interval from -22,000 to 422,000. Because this interval covers zero, one cannot assert at this level of confidence that any real change has occurred in the unemployment level. This result can also be expressed by saying that the apparent change of 200,000 is not significant at a 90-percent confidence level.

Standard errors of estimated percentages and rates. Gener­ally, percentages and rates are not published unless the monthly base (denominator) is greater than 75,000 persons, the quarterly average base is greater than 60,000 persons, or the annual average base is greater than 35,000 persons.

The reliability of an estimated percentage or rate depends upon the magnitude of the percentage or rate and its base. When the numerator and base are in different categories, use the parameters from table 1-F or 1-G relevant to the nu­merator. The approximate standard error, sy p, of an esti­mated percentage or rate, p, can be obtained using the fol­lowing formula, where y is the estimated number of persons in the base.

sy.P = J I P(100-P)

Illustration. For a given month, suppose that 5,600,000 women, 20 to 24 years of age, are estimated to be employed.

Of this total, 1,800,000 or 32 percent are classified as part-time workers. To estimate the standard error on this per­centage, proceed as follows. Obtain the parameter b = 2204.62 from table 1-F ("Labor force and not-in-labor-force data other than agricultural employment and unemployment, Total, Women**). Apply the formula to obtain:

Suppose that in the next month 5,700,000 women in this same age group are reported employed and that 1,950,000 or 34 percent are part-time workers. To estimate the stan­dard error on the observed month-to-month change of 2 per­centage points, first average the values for p and y over the 2 months to get p = 33 percent and y = 5,650,000. Next, obtain the parameter b = 2344.57 from table 1-G ("Labor force and not-in-labor-force data other than agricultural employment and unemployment, Total or white, Women, Low correlation characteristics**) and apply the formula as follows.

/ 2344 SI .

■ » = to^(33X100-33) - 10percent

It should be noted that the numerator of the percentage (part-time employed) determined the choice of correlation. If the example had illustrated percentages of women em­ployed full time, the numerator would have been a high cor­relation characteristic. Table 1-G, however, does not explic­itly list high correlation parameters for employed women; thus, the row labeled "Women, Most characteristics" would have been used.

Had the example dealt with teenage women employed part time, either of two rows in table 1-G could have been ap­plied ("Women, Low correlation*' or "Both sexes, 16 to 19 years"). In situations like this, where it is not clear which row applies, a general rule to follow is to choose the row with the largest b parameter. This gives a more conserva­tive estimate of standard error.

Use of table 1-H. Use this table with table 1-B, 1-C, 1-D, or 1-F to calculate approximate standard errors for quarterly or yearly averages, changes in consecutive quarterly or yearly averages, and consecutive year-to-year changes in monthly estimates. Table 1-H gives factors to be applied only to stan­dard errors for monthly levels. Follow these three basic steps:

Step 1. Average estimates appropriately. For quarterly estimates, average the 3 monthly estimates. For yearly esti­mates, average the 12 monthly estimates. For changes in consecutive averages, average over the 2 quarters or 2 years. For consecutive year-to-year changes in monthly estimates, average the 2 months involved.

quarterly average of black employment levels and for the change in averages from 1 quarter to the next. For each suc­cessive month of the first quarter, suppose the levels are observed to be 11,500,000,11,600,000, and 11,700,000.

Step 1. The quarterly average is 11,600,000.

Step 2. Obtain the a and b parameters from table 1-F ("Labor force and not-in-labor-force data other than agri­cultural employment and unemployment, Black, Total"). Use the formula for sx to compute an approximate standard error for a monthly estimate of 11,600,000.

a = -0.000112595 b = 2735.54

Sx = (-0.000112595X11,600,000)2 + (273534X11,600,000) = 129,000

Step 3. Multiply this result by the factor .87 from table 1-H (column labeled "Quarterly averages" and row labeled "Labor force and not-in-labor-force data other than agricul­tural employment and unemployment, Black"). This gives an approximate standard error of 112,000 on the quarterly average of 11,600,000.

Proceed to obtain the approximate standard error on the change in consecutive quarterly average estimates of black employment. Assume that black employment estimates for the months in the second quarter are observed to be 11,100,000, 11,200,000, and 11,300,000.

Step 1. The average for the second quarter is 11,200,000. The average of the 2 quarters is 11,400,000.

Step 2. Obtain the a and b parameters as above and use the formula for sx to compute an approximate standard error for the estimate of 11,400,000, treating it as an estimate for a single month.

Sx = (-0.000112595X11,400,000)2 + (273534X11,400,000) = 129,000

Step 3. Multiply this result by the factor .84 from table 1-H (column labeled "Change in quarterly averages" and row labeled "Labor force and not-in-labor-force data other than agricultural employment and unemployment, Black"). This gives an approximate standard error of 108,000 on the estimated change of 400,000 from one quarter to the next.

The estimated change clearly exceeds 2 standard errors; therefore, one could conclude from these data that the change in quarterly averages is significant.

Establishment Data ("B" tables)

COLLECTION

BLS cooperates with State employment security agen­cies in the Current Employment Statistics (CES) or estab­lishment survey to collect data each month on employment, hours, and earnings from a sample of nonfarm establish­ments (including government). In March 1994, this sample included about 390,000 reporting units. From these data, a large number of employment, hours, and earnings series in considerable industry and geographic detail are prepared and published each month. Historical statistics can be found in Employment, Hours, and Earnings, United States, and Employment, Hours, and Earnings, States and Areas. These data are also available in machine-readable format.

Each month, the State agencies collect data on employ­ment, payrolls, and paid hours from a sample of establish­ments. Data are collected by mail from most respondents; phone collection is used to obtain higher response rates from selected respondents through computer-assisted in­terviews, touch-tone self-response, and voice recognition technology.

The respondents extract the requested data from their payroll records, which must be maintained for a variety of tax and accounting purposes. All firms with 250 employ­ees or more are asked to participate in the survey, as well as a sample of smaller firms.

A "shuttle" schedule (BLS form 790 series) is used for mail respondents. It is submitted each month by the re­spondents, edited by the State agency, and returned to the respondent for use again the following month

The technical characteristics of the shuttle schedule are particularly important in maintaining continuity and con­sistency in reporting from month to month. The shuttle de­sign automatically exhibits the trends of the reported data covered by the schedule during the year; therefore, the re­lationship of the current data to the data for the previous months is shown. The schedule also has operational advan­tages. For example, accuracy and economy are achieved by entering the identification codes and the address of the reporter only once a year.

All schedules are edited by the State agencies each month to make sure that the data are correctly reported and that they are consistent with the data reported by the establishment in earlier months and with the data reported by other establish­ments in the industry. The State agencies forward the data, either on the schedules themselves or in machine-readable form, to BLS-Washington. They also use the information pro­vided on the forms to develop State and area estimates of employment, hours, and earnings. At BLS, the data are edited again by computer to detect processing and reporting errors which may have been missed in the initial State editing; the edited data are used to prepare national estimates.

It should be noted that for employment, the sum of the State figures will differ from the official U.S. national to­tals because of the effects of differing industrial and geo­graphic stratification and differences in the timing of bench­mark adjustments.

CONCEPTS

Industrial classification Establishments reporting on Form BLS 790 are classi­

fied into industries on the basis of their principal product or activity determined from information on annual sales volume. Since January 1980, this information is collected on a supplement to the quarterly unemployment insurance tax reports filed by employers. For an establishment mak­ing more than one product or engaging in more than one activity, the entire employment of the establishment is in­cluded under the industry indicated by the principal prod­uct or activity.

All data on employment, hours, and earnings for the Na­tion (beginning with August 1990 data) and for States and areas (beginning with January 1990 data) are classified in accordance with the 1987 Standard Industrial Classifica­tion Manual (SIC), Office of Management and Budget.

Industry employment Employment data, except those for the Federal Govern­

ment, refer to persons on establishment payrolls who re­ceived pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th day of the month. For Federal Government estab­lishments, employment figures represent the number of persons who occupied positions on the last day of the cal­endar month. Intermittent workers are counted if they per­formed any service during the month.

The data exclude proprietors, the self-employed, unpaid volunteer or family workers, farm workers, and domestic workers. Salaried officers of corporations are included. Government employment covers only civilian employees; military personnel are excluded. Employees of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency are also excluded.

Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sick leave (when pay is received directly from the firm), on paid holiday, on paid vacation, or who work during a part of the pay period even though they are unemployed or on strike during the rest of the period are counted as employed. Not counted as employed are persons who are on layoff, on leave without pay, on strike for the entire period, or who were hired but have not yet reported during the period.

Indexes of diffusion of employment change (table B-6). These indexes measure the dispersion among industries of

Page 174: Employment and Earnings - FRASERMonthly Household Data Page Historical A-l. Employment status of the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years and over, 1961 to date 12 A-2. Employment

the change in employment over the specified time span. Beginning with August 1990 data, the overall indexes are calculated from 356 seasonally adjusted employment se­ries (3-digit industries) covering all nonfarm payroll em­ployment in the private sector. The manufacturing diffu­sion indexes are based on 139 3-digit industries.

To derive the indexes, each component industry is as­signed a value of 0, 50, or 100 percent, depending on whether its employment showed a decrease, no change, or an increase, respectively, over the time span. The average value (mean) is then calculated, and this percent is the dif­fusion index number.

The reference point for diffusion analysis is 50 percent, the value which indicates that the same number of compo­nent industries had increased as had decreased. Index num­bers above 50 show that more industries had increasing employment, and values below 50 indicate that more had decreasing employment. The margin between the percent that increased and the percent that decreased is equal to the difference between the index and its complement, i.e., 100 minus the index. For example, an index of 65 percent means that 30 percent more industries had increasing employment than had decreasing employment (65-( 100-65) = 30). How­ever, for dispersion analysis, the distance of the index num­ber from the 50-percent reference point is the most signifi­cant observation.

Although diffusion indexes are commonly interpreted as showing the percent of components that increased over the time span, it should be remembered that the index reflects half of the unchanged components as well. (This is the ef­fect of assigning a value of 50 percent to the unchanged components when computing the index.)

Industry hours and earnings Average hours and earnings data are derived from re­

ports of payrolls and hours for production and related work­ers in manufacturing and mining, construction workers in construction, and nonsupervisory employees in private ser­vice-producing industries.

Production and related workers. This category includes working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (in­cluding group leaders and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspecting, receiving, storing, han­dling, packing, warehousing, shipping, trucking, hauling, maintenance, repair, janitorial, guard services, product de­velopment, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g., power plant), recordkeeping, and other services closely as­sociated with the above production operations.

Construction workers. This group includes the following employees in the construction division: Working supervi­sors, qualified craft workers, mechanics, apprentices, help­ers, laborers, etc., engaged in new work, alterations, demo­lition, repair, maintenance, etc., whether working at the site of construction or working in shops or yards at jobs

(such as precutting and preassembling) ordinarily performed by members of the construction trades.

Nonsupervisory employees. These are employees (not above the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical workers, repairers, salespersons, operators, drivers, physi­cians, lawyers, accountants, nurses, social workers, research aides, teachers, drafters, photographers, beauticians, musi­cians, restaurant workers, custodial workers, attendants, line installers and repairers, laborers, janitors, guards, and other employees at similar occupational levels whose services are closely associated with those of the employees listed.

Payroll This refers to the payroll for full- and part-time production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received pay for any part of the pay period which includes the 12th day of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind, e.g., for old-age and unemploy­ment insurance, group insurance, withholding tax, bonds, or union dues; also included is pay for overtime, holidays, vacation, and sick leave paid directly by the firm. Bonuses (unless earned and paid regularly each pay period); other pay not earned in the pay period reported (e.g., retroactive pay); tips; and the value of free rent, fuel, meals, or other payment in kind are excluded. Employee benefits (such as health and other types of insurance, contributions to retire­ment, etc., paid by the employer) are also excluded.

Hours. These are the hours paid for during the pay period which includes the 12th of the month for production, con­struction, or nonsupervisory workers. Included are hours paid for holidays, vacations, and for sick leave when pay is received directly from the firm.

Overtime hours. These are hours worked by production or related workers for which overtime premiums were paid because the hours were in excess of the number of hours of either the straight-time workday or the workweek during the pay period which included the 12th of the month. Week­end and holiday hours are included only if overtime premi­ums were paid. Hours for which only shift differential, haz­ard, incentive, or other similar types of premiums were paid are excluded.

Average weekly hours. The workweek information relates to the average hours for which pay was received and is different from standard or scheduled hours. Such factors as unpaid absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and stoppages cause average weekly hours to be lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group aver­ages further reflect changes in the workweek of compo­nent industries.

Indexes of aggregate weekly hours. The indexes of aggre­gate weekly hours are prepared by dividing the current month's aggregate by the average of the 12 monthly fig-

ures for 1982. For basic industries, the hours aggregates are the product of average weekly hours and production worker or nonsupervisory worker employment. At all higher levels of industry aggregation, hours aggregates are the sum of the component aggregates.

Average overtime hours. The overtime hours represent that portion of the average weekly hours which exceeded regu­lar hours and for which overtime premiums were paid. If an employee were to work on a paid holiday at regular rates, receiving as total compensation his or her holiday pay plus straight-time pay for hours worked that day, no overtime hours would be reported.

Because overtime hours are premium hours by defini­tion, weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the same direction from month to month. Such factors as work stoppages, absenteeism, and labor turnover may not have the same influence on overtime hours as on average hours. Diverse trends at the industry group level also may be caused by a marked change in hours for a com­ponent industry where little or no overtime was worked in both the previous and current months.

Average hourly earnings. Average hourly earnings are on a "gross" basis. They reflect not only changes in basic hourly and incentive wage rates but also such variable factors as premium pay for overtime and late-shift work and changes in output of workers paid on an incentive plan. They also reflect shifts in the number of employees between relatively high-paid and low-paid work and changes in workers' earn­ings in individual establishments. Averages for groups and divisions further reflect changes in average hourly earn­ings for individual industries.

Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earn­ings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period of time; rates are the amount stipulated for a given unit of work or time. The earnings series do not measure the level of total labor costs on the part of the employer since the following are excluded: Irregular bonuses, retroactive items, payments of various welfare benefits, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under production worker, construction worker, or nonsupervisory employee definitions.

Average hourly earnings, including lump-sum wage pay­ments. These series are compiled only for aircraft (SIC 3721) and guided missiles and space vehicles (SIC 3761) manu­facturing. The same concepts and estimation methods ap­ply to these series as apply to the average hourly earnings series described above; the one difference between the se­ries is definitional. The payroll data used to calculate this series include lump-sum payments made to production workers in lieu of general wage rate increases; such pay­ments are excluded from the definition of gross payrolls used to calculate the other average hourly earnings series.

For each sample establishment in SIC 3721 and SIC 3761

covered by a lump-sum agreement, the reported payroll data are adjusted to include a prorated portion of the lump-sum payment. Such payments are generally made once a year and cover the following 12-month period. In order to spread the payment across this time period, a prorated portion of the payment is added to the payroll each month. This pro­rated portion is adjusted by an exit rate to reduce the lump­sum amount to account for persons who received the pay­ment but left before the payment allocation period expired.

Average hourly earnings, excluding overtime. Average hourly earnings, excluding overtime premium pay are com­puted by dividing the total production worker payroll for the industry group by the sum of total production worker hours and one-half of total overtime hours. No adjustments are made for other premium payment provisions, such as holiday work, late-shift work, and overtime rates other than time and one-half.

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

Average weekly earnings. These estimates are derived by multiplying average weekly hours estimates by average hourly earnings estimates. Therefore, weekly earnings are affected not only by changes in average hourly earnings but also by changes in the length of the workweek. Monthly variations in such factors as the proportion of part-time workers, stoppages for varying reasons, labor turnover dur­ing the survey period, and absenteeism for which employ­ees are not paid may cause the average workweek to fluc­tuate.

Long-term trends of average weekly earnings can be af­fected by structural changes in the makeup of the work force. For example, persistent long-term increases in the proportion of part-time workers in retail trade and many of the services industries have reduced average workweeks in these industries and have affected the average weekly earn­ings series.

Real earnings. These earnings are in constant dollars and are calculated from the earnings averages for the current month using a deflator derived from the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W). The reference year for these series is 1982.

ESTIMATING METHODS

The Current Employment Statistics (CES) or establish­ment survey estimates of employment are generated through an annual benchmark and monthly sample link procedure. Annual universe counts or benchmark levels are generated primarily from administrative records on employees cov­ered by unemployment insurance (UI) tax laws. These an­nual benchmarks, established for March of each year, are projected forward for each subsequent month based on the trend of the sample employment, using an estimation pro­cedure called the link relative. Benchmarks and sample link relatives are computed for each of 1,703 basic estimation cells defined by industry, size, and geography for the CES national estimates, and summed to create aggregate level employment estimates.

Benchmarks The establishment survey constructs annual benchmarks

in order to realign the sample-based employment totals for March of each year with the Ul-based population counts for March. These population counts are much less timely than sample-based estimates; however, they provide an annual point-in-time census for employment.

Population counts are derived from the administrative file of employees covered by UI. All employers covered by UI laws are required to report employment and wage infor­mation to the appropriate State employment security agency four times a year. Approximately 99 percent of in-scope private employment is covered by UI. A benchmark for the remaining 1 percent is constructed from alternate sources, primarily records from the Interstate Commerce Commis­sion and the Social Security Administration. The full bench­mark developed for March replaces the March sample-based estimate for each basic cell. The monthly sample-based estimates for the year preceding and the year following the benchmark are also then subject to revision.

Monthly estimates for the year preceding the March benchmark are readjusted using a "wedge back" procedure. The difference between the final benchmark level and the previously published March sample estimate is calculated and spread back across the previous 11 months. The wedge is linear; eleven-twelfths of the March difference is added to the February estimates, ten-twelfths to the January esti­mates, and so on, back to the previous April estimates which receive one-twelfth of the March difference. This assumes that the total estimation error since the last benchmark ac­cumulated at a steady rate throughout the current bench­mark year.

Estimates for the 11 months following the March bench­mark are also recalculated each year. These post-bench­mark estimates reflect the application of sample-based monthly changes to new benchmark levels for March, and the recomputation of bias adjustment factors for each month. Bias factors are updated to take into account the most re­cent experience of the estimates generated by the monthly

sample versus the full universe counts derived from the UI. Following the revision of basic employment estimates,

all other derivative series (e.g., production workers, aver­age hourly earnings) are also recalculated. New seasonal adjustment factors are calculated and all data series for the previous 5 years are reseasonally adjusted, prior to full pub­lication of all revised data in June of each year.

Monthly estimation Estimates are derived from a sample of approximately

390,000 business establishments nationwide. A current month's estimate is derived as the product of the previous month's estimate and a sample link relative for the current month. A bias adjustment factor is then applied to this re­sult primarily to help account for new business births dur­ing the month.

Stratification. The sample is stratified into 1,703 basic es­timation cells for purposes of computing national employ­ment, hours, and earnings estimates. Cells are defined pri­marily by detailed industry, and secondarily by size for a majority of cells. In a few industries, mostly within the construction division, geographic stratification is also used. Industry classification is in accordance with the 1987 Stan­dard Industrial Classification Manual (SIC); most estima­tion cells are defined at the 4-digit SIC level.

This detailed stratification pattern allows for the produc­tion and publication of estimates in considerable industry detail. Sub-industry stratification by size is important be­cause major statistics which the survey measures, particu­larly employment change and average earnings, often vary significantly between establishments of different size. Strati­fication reduces the variance of the published industry level estimates.

Link relative technique. A ratio of the previous to the cur­rent month's employment is computed from a sample of establishments reporting for both months—this ratio is called a "link relative." For each basic cell, a link relative is computed and applied to the previous month's employ­ment estimate to derive the current month's estimate. Thus a March benchmark is moved forward to the next March benchmark through application of monthly link relatives. Basic cell estimates created through the link relative tech­nique are aggregated to form published industry level esti­mates, for employment, as described in table 2-A. Basic estimation and aggregation methods for the hours and earn­ings data are also shown in table 2-A.

Bias adjustment. Bias adjustment factors are computed at the 3-digit SIC level, and applied each month at the basic cell level, as part of the standard estimation procedures. The main purpose of bias adjustment is to reduce a pri­mary source of nonsampling error in the survey, the inabil­ity to capture, on a timely basis, employment generated by new firm births. There is a several month lag between an

establishment opening for business and its appearing on the UI universe frame and being available for sampling. Because new firms generate a portion of employment growth each month of the year, nonsampling methods must be used to capture this growth, otherwise substantial under estimation of total employment levels would occur. For­mal bias adjustment procedures have been used by the es­tablishment survey since the late 1960*s. Prior to the 1983 benchmark, bias adjustments were derived from a simple mean error model, which averaged undercount errors for the previous 3 years to arrive at bias projections for the coming year. The undercount errors were measured as the difference between sample-based estimate results and benchmark levels.

This procedure eventually proved inadequate during pe­riods of rapidly changing employment trends, and the bias adjustment methodology was revised. Research done in the early 1980's indicated that bias requirements were strongly correlated with current employment growth or decline. Based on this research, a revised method was developed which incorporated the sample data on employment growth over the most recent two quarters, and a regression-derived coefficient for the significance of that change, to adjust the mean error model results. This change in methodology pro­vided a more cyclically sensitive bias model. The regres­sion-adjusted mean error model has been in use since 1983, for the production of national estimates.

The current model still has limitations in its ability to react to changing economic conditions or changing error structure relationships between the sample-based estimates and the UI universe counts. A principal limitation is the inability to incorporate UI universe counts as they become available on an ongoing basis, with a 6- to 9-month lag from the reference period. Thus, the current quarterly out­puts from the model are subject to intervention analysis, and adjustments can be made to its results, prior to the es­tablishment of final bias levels for a quarter. Review is done primarily in terms of detection of outlier (i.e. abnormally high or low) values, and by comparison of CES sample and bias trends with the most recent quarterly observations of UI universe counts. The BLS currently has under study im­proved bias models utilizing a Kalman filter technique, which would allow a more formal, structured incorpora­tion of each quarter's UI universe counts in the bias model­ing process.

Although the primary function of bias adjustment is to account for employment resulting from new business for­mations, it also adjusts for other elements of nonsampling error in the survey, because the primary input to the model­ing procedure is total estimation error. Significant among these nonsampling error sources is a business death bias. When a sampled firm closes down, most often it simply does not respond to the survey that month, rather than re­porting zero employment. Followup with nonrespondents may reveal an out-of-business firm, but this information is often received too late to incorporate into monthly esti­

mates, and the firm is simply treated as a nonrespondent for that month.

Because the bias adjustments incorporated into the esti­mates represent a composite of a birth bias, death bias, and a number of other differences between the sample-based estimates and the population counts, the monthly bias ad­justment levels have no specific economic meaning in and of themselves.

Table 2-B summarizes bias adjustments for the 1984-94 period. The table displays the average monthly "bias added" and the average monthly "bias required" with the bench­mark revisions for each year. Bias added shows the aver­age amount of bias which was added each month over the course of an interbenchmark period. For example, the bias added for 1994 is listed as 115,000; this represents the av­erage of bias adjustments made each month over the pe­riod April 1993 through March 1994. Bias required is com­puted retrospectively, after the March benchmark for a given year is known. Bias required figures are calculated by tak­ing the difference between a March estimate derived purely from the sample (i.e. a series calculated without bias ad­justment) and the March benchmark. Dividing this figure by 12 gives the average monthly bias required figure. The bias required is thus defined as the amount of bias adjust­ment which would have achieved a zero benchmark error. The difference between the total bias required and the total bias added is then, by definition, approximately the bench­mark revision amount, for any given year. Also provided in the table for illustration, are the March-to-March changes. As discussed above, the over-the-year changes indicate correlation with the bias added and bias required figures.

THE SAMPLE

Design The emphasis in the establishment survey is on produc­

ing timely data at minimum cost. Therefore, the primary goal of its design is to sample a sufficiently large segment of the universe to provide reliable estimates that can be published both promptly and regularly. The present sample allows BLS to produce preliminary total nonfarm employ­ment estimates for each month, including some limited in­dustry detail, within 3 weeks after the reference period, and data in considerably more detail with an additional one-month lag.

The sampling plan used in the establishment survey is a form of sampling with probability proportionate to size, known as "sampling proportionate to average size of es­tablishment". This is an optimum allocation design among strata because sampling variance is proportional to the av­erage size of establishments. The universe of establishment employment is highly skewed, with a large percentage of total employment concentrated in relatively few establish­ments. Because variance on a population total estimate is a function of percentage universe coverage achieved by the sample, it is efficient to sample larger establishments at a

higher rate than smaller establishments, assuming the cost per sample unit is fairly constant across size classes.

Under the establishment survey design, large establish­ments fall into a certainty strata for sample selection. The size of the sample for the various industries is determined empirically on the basis of experience and cost consider­ations. For example, in a manufacturing industry with a high proportion of total employment concentrated in a small number of establishments, a larger percent of total employ­ment is included in the sample. Consequently, the sample design for such industries provides for a complete census of the large establishments, with a relatively few chosen from among the smaller establishments. For an industry in which a large proportion of total employment is concen­trated in small establishments, the sample design again calls for inclusion of all large establishments but also for a more substantial number of smaller ones. Many industries in the trade and services divisions fall into this category. To keep the sample to a size which can be handled by available resources, it is necessary to have a sample design for these industries with a smaller proportion of total universe cov­erage than is the case for most manufacturing industries.

Coverage The establishment survey is the largest monthly sam­

pling operation in the field of social statistics. Table 2-C shows the latest benchmark employment levels and the approximate proportion of total universe employment cov­erage, at the total nonfarm and major industry division lev­els. The coverage for individual industries within the divi­sions may vary from the proportions shown.

Reliability The establishment survey, like other sample surveys, is

1 Universe counts for March of each year are used to make annual benchmark adjustments to the employment estimates. About 99 per­cent of the benchmark employment is from unemployment insurance administrative records, and the remaining 1 percent is from alternate sources. Data represent benchmark levels as originally computed.

2 Difference between the final March sample-based estimate and the benchmark level for total private employment.

3 The average amount of bias adjustment each month over the

subject to two types of error, sampling and nonsampling error. The magnitude of sampling error, or variance, is di­rectly related to the size of the sample and the percentage of universe coverage achieved by the sample. The establish­ment survey sample covers over one-third of total universe employment; this yields a very small variance on the total nonfarm estimates. Measurements of error associated with sample estimates are provided in tables 2-D through 2-G.

Benchmark revision as a measure of survey error. The sum of sampling and nonsampling error can be considered total survey error. Unlike most sample surveys which publish sampling error as their only measure of error, the CES can derive an annual approximation of total error, on a lagged basis, because of the availability of the independently de­rived universe data. While the benchmark error is used as a measure of total error for the CES survey estimate, techni­cally, it actually represents the difference between two in­dependent estimates derived from separate survey processes (i.e., the CES sample process and the UI universe process) and thus reflects the errors present in each program. His­torically, the benchmark revision has been very small for total nonfarm employment. Over the past decade, percent­age benchmark error has averaged 0.2 percent, with a range from zero to 0.6 percent. Table 2-D shows the most current benchmark revisions, along with 10-year mean revisions and mean absolute revisions for major industries. Mean re­visions give an indication of bias in the estimates; unbi­ased estimates have a mean revision close to zero, as over and under estimations cancel out over time. Mean absolute revisions give an overall indicator as to the accuracy of the estimates; the larger the value, the further the estimate was from the final benchmark level.

Estimated standard errors for employment, hours, and earn­ings. The hours and earnings estimates for the basic esti­mating cells do not have universe data sources available and therefore are not subject to benchmark revisions, al­though the broader groupings may be affected slightly by changes in employment weights. Like the employment es­timates, the hours and earnings estimates are also subject to sampling and nonsampling errors. Estimates of the sam­pling error for employment, hours, and earnings were com­puted using the method of random groups and are expressed as relative standard errors (standard error divided by the estimate). Relative standard errors for individual industries with the specified number of employees are presented in table 2-E and for major industries in table 2-F. Multiplying the relative standard error by its estimated value gives the estimate of the standard error. The errors presented here are based on averages observed from sample data over the March 1992 through March 1993 period.

Standard errors for differences between industries and times. The standard error of a difference is required to test for significant differences between estimates from two differ­ent industries. Since the estimates for the two industries are independent, the standard error of a difference is the square root of the sum of the estimated variance of each estimate, S{

2 and S22.

S difference = ^T:

The GES sample overlaps almost entirely from month to month, so monthly estimates are not independent. The co-variance between these estimates must be accounted for when testing the significance of the change in estimates over time. The standard error of the change can be esti­mated as follows.

S change = 7s? + s2 ~ 2 /*i s2

If Si = S2, then:

S change = ^2sJ ( l -p )

Conservative estimates of p after one month are 0.8 for employment, 0.6 for average weekly hours, and 0.8 for average hourly earnings.

If the bias is small, then the standard error can be used to construct approximate confidence intervals or range of val­ues that include the true population value. If the process of selecting a sample from the population were repeated many times and an estimate and its standard error calculated for each sample, then approximately 68 percent of the inter­vals from one standard error below the estimate to one stan­

dard error above the estimate would include the true popu­lation value.

Noneconomic code changes. A major source of benchmark revision at the major industry division level and below are noneconomic code changes, which are introduced into the universe data in the first quarter of each calendar year.

Approximately one-third of all establishments in the uni­verse are included in the universe program's annual Stan­dard Industrial Classification (SIC) refiling survey. Cor­rections to individual establishments' SIC and ownership codes are made through this process. The refiling cycle is such that every third year entire division(s) are subject to refiling. The volume of these adjustments is generally quite large and has a substantial impact on universe employment counts at the industry levels, although the total nonfarm employment level remains unaffected. For example, in a year when the services division is refiled, a substantial amount of employment is usually reclassified out of ser­vices to other major divisions, thus, lowering the bench-

mark level for services, and potentially causing a signifi­cant downward revision in the services employment totals previously published.

Revisions between preliminary and final data. First pre­liminary estimates of employment, hours, and earnings, based on less than the total sample, are published immedi­ately following the reference month. Final revised sample-based estimates are published 2 months later when nearly

all the reports in the sample have been received. Table 2-G presents the root-mean-square error, the mean percent, and the mean absolute percent revision that may be expected between the preliminary and final employment estimates.

Revisions of preliminary hours and earnings estimates are normally not greater than 0.1 of an hour for weekly hours and 1 cent for hourly earnings, at the total private nonfarm level, and may be slightly larger for the more de­tailed industry groupings.

STATISTICS FOR STATES AND AREAS

(Tables B-7, B-14, and B-18) As explained earlier, State agencies in cooperation with

BLS collect and prepare State and area employment, hours, and earnings data. These statistics are based on the same establishment reports used by BLS, however, BLS uses the full CES sample to produce monthly national employment estimates, while each State agency uses its portion of the sample to independently develop a State employment esti­mate.

The CES area statistics relate to metropolitan areas. Defi­nitions for all areas are published each year in the issue of Employment and Earnings that contains State and area an­nual averages (usually the May issue). Changes in defini­tions are noted as they occur. Additional industry detail may be obtained from the State agencies listed on the in­side back cover of each issue.

Caution in aggregating State data. The national estima­tion procedures used by BLS are designed to produce ac­curate national data by detailed industry; correspondingly the State estimation procedures are designed to produce accurate data for each individual State. State estimates are not forced to sum to national totals nor vice versa. Because each State series is subject to larger sampling and nonsampling errors than the national series, summing them cumulates individual State level errors and can cause dis­tortions at an aggregate level. This has been a particular problem at turning points in the U.S. economy, when the majority of the individual State errors tend to be in the same direction. Due to these statistical limitations, the Bureau does not compile or publish a "sum-of-States" em­ployment series. Additionally, BLS cautions users that such a series is subject to a relatively large and volatile error structure, particularly at turning points.

Region, State, and Area Labor Force Data ("C" tables)

FEDERAL-STATE COOPERATIVE PROGRAM

Labor force and unemployment estimates for States, la­bor market areas (LMA's), and other areas covered under Federal assistance programs are developed by State em­ployment security agencies under a Federal-State coopera­tive program. The local unemployment estimates which derive from standardized procedures developed by BLS are the basis for determining eligibility of an area for benefits under Federal programs such as the Job Training and Part­nership Act.

Annual average data for the States and over 260 areas shown in table C-3 are published in Employment and Earn­ings (usually the May issue). For regions, States, selected metropolitan areas, and central cities, annual average data classified by selected demographic, social, and economic characteristics are published in the BLS bulletin, Geo­graphic Profile of Employment and Unemployment.

Labor force estimates for counties, cities, and other small areas have been prepared for administration of various Fed­eral economic assistance programs and may be ordered from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Print­ing Office, Washington, DC 20402. The report "Unem­ployment in States and Local Areas" is published monthly through GPO and is available in microfiche form only, on a subscription basis.

ESTIMATING METHODS

Monthly labor force, employment, and unemployment estimates are prepared for the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and over 6,500 areas, including nearly 2,400 LMA's, counties, and cities with a population of 25,000 or more. The estimation methods are described below for States (and the District of Columbia) and for sub-State ar­eas. At the sub-LMA level, (county and city), estimates are prepared using disaggregation techniques based on decen­nial and annual population estimates and current unemploy­ment insurance data. A more detailed description of the estimation procedure is contained in the BLS document, Manual for Developing Local Area Unemployment Statis­tics.

Estimates for States

Current monthly estimates. The civilian labor force and unemployment estimates for 11 large States—California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas—are sufficiently reliable to be taken directly from the Current

Population Survey (CPS) on a monthly basis. These are termed "direct-use States." For a description of the CPS concepts, see "Household Data," above.

For the 39 smaller States and the District of Columbia, which do not use the CPS directly each month, models based on a "signal-plus-noise" approach are used to develop em­ployment and unemployment estimates. These are the "non-direct-use" States. The model of the signal is a time series model of the true labor force which consists of three com­ponents: A variable coefficient regression, a flexible trend, and a flexible seasonal component. The regression tech­niques are based on historical and current relationships found within each State's economy as reflected in the dif­ferent sources of data that are available for each State—the CPS, the Current Employment Statistics(CES) survey, and the unemployment insurance (UI) system. The noise com­ponent of the models explicitly accounts for autocorrelation in the CPS sampling error and changes in the average mag­nitude of the error. In addition, the models can identify and remove the effects of outliers in the historical CPS series. While all the State models have important components in common, they differ somewhat from one another to better reflect individual State characteristics.

Two models—one for the employment-to-population ra­tio and one for the unemployment rate—are used for each State. The employment-to-population ratio, rather than the employment level, and the unemployment rate, rather than the unemployment level, are estimated primarily because these ratios are usually more meaningful for economic analysis.

The employment-to-population ratio models use the re­lationship between the State's monthly employment from the CES and the CPS. The models also include trend and seasonal components to account for movements in the CPS not captured by the CES series. The seasonal component accounts for the seasonality in the CPS not explained by the CES while the trend component adjusts for long-run systematic differences between the two series.

The unemployment rate models use the relationship be­tween the State's monthly unemployment insurance (UI) claims data and the CPS unemployment rate, along with trend and seasonal components.

In both the employment-to-population ratio and unem­ployment rate models, an important feature is the use of a technique that allows the equations to adjust automatically to structural changes that occur. The regression portion of the model includes a built-in tuning mechanism, known as the Kalman Filter, which revises a model's coefficients when the new data that become available each month indicate that changes in the data relationships have taken place.

the estimates are developed from the models, levels are calculated for the employment, unemployment, and labor force levels.

Benchmark correction procedures. Once each year, monthly estimates for the 39 non-direct-use States and the District of Columbia are adjusted, or benchmarked, by BLS to the annual average CPS estimates. The benchmarking technique employs a procedure (called the Denton method) which adjusts the annual average of the models to equal the CPS annual average, while preserving, as much as possible, the original monthly seasonal pattern of the model estimates.

In the 11 direct-use States, no benchmark correction is required; the average of the 12 monthly State CPS esti­mates will equal the CPS annual averages.

Estimates for sub-State areas Monthly labor force and employment estimates for two

large sub-State areas—New York City and the Los Ange­les-Long Beach metropolitan area—are obtained directly from the CPS. Estimates for the nearly 2,400 LMA's, are prepared through indirect estimation techniques, described below.

Preliminary estimate—employment The total civilian em­ployment estimates are based on CES data. These "place-of-work" estimates must be adjusted to refer to place of residence as used in the CPS. Factors for adjusting from place of work to place of residence have been developed for several categories of employment on the basis of em­ployment relationships at the time of the 1990 decennial

census. These factors are applied to the CES estimates for the current period to obtain adjusted employment estimates, to which are added estimates for employment not repre­sented in the CES—agricultural employees, nonagricultural self-employed and unpaid family workers, and private household workers.

Preliminary estimate—unemployment. In the current month, the estimate of unemployment is an aggregate of the esti­mates for each of three categories: (1) Persons who were previously employed in industries covered by State UI laws; (2) those previously employed in industries not covered by these laws; and (3) those who were entering the civilian labor force for the first time or reentering after a period of separation.

Sub-State adjustment for additivity. Estimates of employ­ment and unemployment are prepared for the State and LMA's within the State. The LMA estimates geographi­cally exhaust the entire State. Thus, a proportional adjust­ment must be applied to all sub-State LMA estimates to ensure that they add to the independently estimated State totals for employment and unemployment.

Benchmark correction. At the end of each year, sub-State estimates are revised. The revisions incorporate any changes in the inputs, such as revisions in the CES-based employ­ment figures, corrections in claims counts, and updated his­torical relationships. The corrected estimates are then re­adjusted to add to the revised (benchmarked) State esti­mates of employment and unemployment.

Seasonal Adjustment

Over the course of a year, the size of the Nation's labor force, the levels of employment and unemployment, and other measures of labor market activity undergo sharp fluc­tuations due to such seasonal events as changes in weather, reduced or expanded production, harvests, major holidays, and the opening and closing of schools. Because these sea­sonal events follow a more or less regular pattern each year, their influence on statistical trends can be eliminated by adjusting the statistics from month to month. These adjust­ments make it easier to observe the cyclical and other non-seasonal movements in the series. In evaluating changes in a seasonally adjusted series, it is important to note that sea­sonal adjustment is merely an approximation based on past experience. Seasonally adjusted estimates have a broader margin of possible error than the original data on which they are based, because they are subject not only to sam­pling and other errors but are also affected by the uncer­tainties of the seasonal adjustment process itself. Season­ally adjusted series for selected labor force and establish­ment-based data are published monthly in Employment and Earnings.

Since January 1980, national labor force data have been seasonally adjusted with a procedure called X-ll ARIMA (Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average), which was developed at Statistics Canada as an extension of the stan­dard X-ll method. A detailed description of the procedure appears in The X-ll ARIMA Seasonal Adjustment Method by Estela Bee Dagum, Statistics Canada Catalogue No. 12-564E, January 1983.

At the beginning of each calendar year, projected sea­sonal adjustment factors are calculated for use during the January-June period. In July of each year, BLS calculates and publishes in Employment and Earnings projected sea­sonal adjustment factors for use in the second half, based on the experience through June. Revisions of historical data, usually for the most recent 5 years, are made only at the beginning of each calendar year. However, as a result of the revisions to the estimates for 1970-81 based on 1980 census population counts, revisions to seasonally adjusted series in early 1982 were carried back to 1970. In 1994, data were revised only for that year because of the major revisions implemented in the Current Population Survey.

All labor force and unemployment rate statistics, as well as the major employment and unemployment estimates, are computed by aggregating independently adjusted series. For example, for each of the three major labor force compo­nents—agricultural employment, nonagricultural employ­ment, and unemployment—data for four sex-age groups (men and women under and over 20 years of age) are sepa­rately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then added to

derive seasonally adjusted total figures. The seasonally ad­justed figure for the labor force is a sum of eight seasonally adjusted civilian employment components and four sea­sonally adjusted unemployment components. The total for unemployment is the sum of the four unemployment com­ponents, and the unemployment rate is derived by dividing the resulting estimate of total unemployment by the esti­mate of the labor force. Because of the independent sea­sonal adjustment of various series, components will not nec­essarily add to totals.

In each January issue, Employment and Earnings pub­lishes revised seasonally adjusted data for selected labor force series based on the experience through December, new seasonal adjustment factors to be used to calculate the civilian unemployment estimate for the first 6 months of the following year, and a description of the current sea­sonal adjustment procedure.

Since the early 1980's, BLS has also used the X-l l ARIMA procedure to seasonally adjust national establish­ment-based employment, hours, and earnings data. The X-11 ARIMA program had been run once each year after benchmarking and seasonal adjustment factors had been projected and published for 12 months ahead (April-March). Beginning in June 1989, with the introduction of the March 1988 benchmarks, the Bureau modified this procedure to parallel that used in seasonally adjusting household survey data. Projected seasonal adjustment factors are calculated and published twice a year. Revisions of historical data are made once a year, coincident with benchmark revisions.

All series are seasonally adjusted using the multiplica­tive models under X-ll ARIMA. Seasonal adjustment fac­tors are computed and applied at component levels. For employment series, these are generally the 2-digit SIC lev­els. Seasonally adjusted totals are arithmetic aggregations for employment series and weighted averages of the sea­sonally adjusted data for hours and earnings series.

Seasonally adjusted average weekly earnings are the product of seasonally adjusted average hourly earnings and seasonally adjusted average weekly hours. Average weekly earnings in constant dollars, seasonally adjusted, are ob­tained by dividing average weekly earnings, seasonally adjusted, by the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), and multiplying by 100. Indexes of aggregate weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by multiplying average weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, by production or nonsupervisory workers, seasonally adjusted, and dividing by the 1982 annual average base. For total private, total goods-producing, total private service-producing, and ma­jor industry divisions, the indexes of aggregate weekly

hours, seasonally adjusted, are obtained by summing the aggregate weekly hours, seasonally adjusted, for the ap­propriate component industries and dividing by the 1982 annual average base.

Seasonally adjusted data are not published for a number of series characterized by small seasonal components rela­tive to their trend-cycle and/or irregular components. These failed or unsatisfactory seasonally adjusted series, however, are used in the aggregation to broader level seasonally ad­justed series.

Seasonal adjustment factors for Federal Government em­ployment are derived from unadjusted data which include Christmas temporary workers employed by the Postal Ser­vice. The number of temporary census workers for the de­cennial census, however, are removed prior to the calcula­tion of seasonal adjustment factors.

BLS has developed an extension of X-ll ARIMA to al­low it to adjust more adequately for the effects of the pres­ence or absence of religious holidays in the April survey reference period and of Labor Day in the September refer­ence period. This extension was applied for the first time at the end of 1989 to three persons-at-work labor force se­ries which tested as having significant and well-defined effects in their April data associated with the timing of Easter. This extension was also used for the seasonal ad­justment of many of the establishment-based series on av­erage weekly hours and manufacturing overtime hours, starting with the computation of the projected factors for the period beginning in April 1990. Effective with the com­putation of factors for the November 1993-April 1994 pe­riod, an extension of the moving-holiday adjustment was introduced to adjust for the effects of elections on local government employment.

Revised seasonally adjusted national establishment-based series based on the experience through March 1995, new seasonal adjustment factors for May-October 1995, and a description of the current seasonal adjustment procedure

appear in the June 1995 issue of Employment and Earn­ings. Factors for the Movenber 1995-April 1996 period will appear in the December issue.

Beginning in 1992, BLS introduced publication of sea­sonally adjusted labor force data for the census regions and divisions, the 50 States, and the District of Columbia (tables C-l and C-2). Using the X-ll ARIMA procedure, seasonal adjustment factors are computed and applied independently to the component employment and unemployment levels and then aggregated to regional or State totals. Current sea­sonal adjustment factors are produced for 6-month periods twice a year. Historical revisions are made at the begin­ning of each calendar year. Because of the separate pro­cessing procedures, totals for the Nation as a whole differ from the results obtained by aggregating regional or State data.

Beginning in 1993, BLS introduced publication of sea­sonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment data by ma­jor industry for all States and the District of Columbia (table B-7). Seasonal adjustment factors are applied directly to the employment estimates at the division level (compo­nent series for manufacturing and trade) and then aggre­gated to the State totals. The recomputation of seasonal factors and historical revisions are made coincident with the annual benchmark adjustments. State estimation pro­cedures are designed to produce accurate (unadjusted and seasonally adjusted) data for each individual State. BLS independently develops a national employment series; State estimates are not forced to sum to national totals. Because each Sate series is subject to larger sampling and nonsampling errors than the national series, summing them cumulates individual State level errors and can cause sig­nificant distortions at an aggregate level. Due to these sta­tistical limitations, BLS does not compile a "sum-of-States" employment series, and cautions users that such a series is subject to a relatively large and volatile error structure.
