PREFACE first edition had 8 figures, while the current edition has more than 20 figures. A summary of the most important trends (in figure form) can be found on page xxxi of this Handbook.

Bernan Press is pleased to present a compilation of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data in this 10th edition of its award-winning Handbook of U.S Labor Statistics. BLS provides a treasure trove of historical information about all aspects of labor and employment in the United States. The current edition maintains the content of previous editions and updates the text with additional data and new features. The editors have also added some tables on income derived from data from the Census Bureau; these tables are described later in the preface. The data in this publication are excellent sources of information for analysts in government and business.

• In addition to the figures, the introductory material for each chapter also contains highlights of other salient data. For example, the highlights in Chapter 1 showcase the trend of labor force participation rate by age and the disparity in labor force participation rates for various demographic groups. A highlight in Chapter 4 calls attention to the difference between the rate of growth in projected employment and the level of growth in projected employment.

This edition represents a significant milestone for the Handbook of U.S. Labor Statistics, and such a milestone invites a moment of introspection and reflective questioning. What problems in the nation and the economy are of interest now compared to 10 years ago? How do the numbers in this book draw attention to problems and provide quantitative assistance to the analysts who search for possible solutions? The short answer is that while the numbers change, the questions still remain with us—even as new questions are being added. In earlier editions, this publication analyzed some of the issues that were then being addressed: the decline in employment in the manufacturing sector, the high unemployment rates for young minorities, the aging labor force, the cost of health care services and prescription drugs, the changing pension plans, the specter of inflation as a result of the rise in fuel prices, the impact of changing technology on the educational and occupational requirements of industry, and the impact of immigration on the structure of the labor force. Policy decisions on these questions are still relevant today. New issues include the stagnation of real wages despite an increase in productivity, which has led to concern that this trend indicates a lack of progress in improving the standard of living of workers. It is important to examine the historical movement of various series; as a result, some tables in this publication show data back to 1985. This Handbook includes tables on employment and unemployment and employer costs for employee health care. Tables of projections of industry output and employment show the expected trends in the technology sector and the educational requirements of jobs in this sector. Other tables show how workers have fared in terms of wages (which have been adjusted for changing prices). FEATURES OF THIS PUBLICATION • Approximately 200 tables present authoritative data for labor market statistics, including employment and employment costs and hours, prices, productivity, comparisons with other countries, and other labor market statistics. • Each section is preceded by one or more figures that call attention to noteworthy trends in the data. The

• The tables in each section are also preceded by notes and definitions, which contain concise descriptions of the data sources, concepts, definitions, and methodology from which the data are derived. • The introductory notes also include references to more comprehensive reports. These reports provide additional data and more extensive descriptions of estimation methods, sampling, and reliability measures. ARTICLES OVERVIEW The introduction to the text provides articles that describe current information on developments, such as the planning or introduction of new surveys, the introduction of new classification definitions, and current research on economic topics that make use of the data contained in this Handbook. The first article in the introduction, “Price Measurement in the United States: A Decade After the Boskin Report” describes the steps BLS has taken to address the problems raised in the Report by the U.S. Advisory Commission to Study the Consumer Price Index (more commonly known as the Boskin Report), which was issued on December 4, 1996. The Boskin Report focused attention on three key problems inherent in the calculation of Consumer Price Indexes: consumer substitution, quality change, and new goods. BLS subsequently reaffirmed its cost-of-living conceptual framework and built on prior research in order to introduce methodological changes; these changes corrected the issues with substitution, quality, and new goods. The second article, “Employment Outlook, 2004–2014: A Summary of BLS Projections to 2014,” summarizes a series of four articles that appeared in the November 2005 edition of the Monthly Labor Review. This summary presents a detailed picture of U.S. employment trends as they are likely to evolve over the 2004–2014 decade, under the assumptions used to develop those projections. The summary also updates the 2002–2012 projections published in February 2004. It presents a synopsis of the content of each article, a short statement of methods, an overview of what is new in this round of projections, and some

xxii HANDBOOK OF U.S. LABOR STATISTICS (BERNAN PRESS) thoughts about which factors might pose the greatest risks to the accuracy of the projections. The third article, “Hurricane Katrina and the Bureau of Labor Statistics: A Summary of Articles from the August 2006 Edition of the Monthly Labor Review” concerns the impact of Hurricane Katrina. The entire August 2006 edition of the Monthly Labor Review was devoted to the impact of the hurricane on the collection and substance of BLS statistical series, particularly the employment and wages series. The article provided in this Handbook contains excerpts from articles published in the August 2006 edition. NEW TABLES IN THIS EDITION Income data. Chapter 13, a new addition to the publication, presents income data for the United States compiled by the Census Bureau. The Handbook of U.S. Labor Statistics has traditionally included tables with a great deal of information on wages. However, much of the recent public discussion about income inequality has focused on both wages and non-wage income (such as interest and dividends, Social Security, and other pension income). The Census Bureau collects this information in the March supplement to the Current Population Survey. Consumer Price Index Research Series Using Current Methods (CPI-U-RS). BLS has made many improvements in the way the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is calculated, but these changes are not carried back historically in the official CPI. Some users would like to see the effect of these improvements over time. To this end, the CPI-U-RS attempts to answer the following question: “What would have been the measured rate of inflation from 1978 forward had the methods currently used in calculating the CPI-U been in use since 1978?” North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). More series have been converted to NAICS industry classification. However, this conversion has caused some delays in data availability. See the notes and definitions in each chapter for more information on conversion of the applicable series. While conversion sometimes creates a comparability problem, the new classification system is more descriptive of the current structure of the economy. NAICS was described in a summary article in the sixth edition of this Handbook. More information about NAICS can be found on the BLS Web site at .

SOURCES OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BLS data are primarily derived from surveys conducted by the federal government or through federal-state cooperative arrangements. The comparability of data over time can be affected by changes in the surveys, which are essential for keeping pace with the current structure of economic institutions and for taking advantage of improved survey techniques. Revisions of current data are also periodically made as a result of the availability of new information. In addition, some tables in this Handbook were dropped due to the data being from a one-time survey that is now outdated—such as the data on training (1995)—or due to the survey being entirely restructured. Introductory notes to each chapter summarize specific factors that may affect the data. In the tables, an ellipsis (“…”) indicates that data are not available. More extensive methodological information, including further discussion of the sampling and estimation procedures used for each BLS program, is contained in the BLS Handbook of Methods. This publication is in the process of being updated, and completed chapters are available on the BLS Web site at . Other sources of current data and analytical include the Monthly Labor Review and a daily Internet publication, The Editor’s Desk (TED). All of these publications can be found on the BLS Web site. Other relevant publications are noted in the notes and definitions for each applicable chapter.

ARTICLE 1 PRICE MEASUREMENT IN THE UNITED STATES: A DECADE AFTER THE BOSKIN REPORT This is a brief summary of an article written by David S. Johnson, Stephen B. Reed, and Kenneth J. Stewart.1 The full article appeared in the May 2006 edition of the Monthly Labor Review and can be found online at . The December 1996 Boskin Report (also called the Report by the U.S. Advisory Commission to Study the Consumer Price Index), estimated that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) was biased upwards by around 1.1 percent per year. The Boskin Commission divided the types of potential biases into three groups: consumer substitution bias, quality change bias, and new goods bias. Since the publication of the Boskin Report, and by building on prior research, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has introduced methodological changes that have addressed each of these issues. These include: 1) the introduction of the geometric means formula in 1999; 2) the introduction of the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPU-U) in 2002; 3) the expansion of the use of hedonic models to improve the measurement of quality change; and 4) the institution of procedures to introduce new goods into the index more quickly. This article summarizes those methodological changes. CONSUMER SUBSTITUTION BIAS IN THE CPI Substitution bias arises in a fixed-weight CPI if consumers change their purchasing behavior in response to relative price changes. Until 1999, the CPI used Laspeyres formulas to calculate the CPI; Laspeyres formulas effectively assume zero consumer substitution. In other words, these formulas assume an elasticity of substitution of zero. To the extent that consumers can and do change their purchasing behavior in response to relative price changes, a Laspeyres formula will result in an upward bias in the index and overstate the cost of living. The Boskin Report estimated a total consumer substitution bias of 0.4 percent. In 1999, the CPI converted to a geometric means formula for averaging prices within most CPI item categories. The geometric means formula effectively assumes constant relative expenditure on a given item, rather than constant quantity. As the relative price increases, the assumed quantity proportionally decreases. Thus, this formula implicitly assumes a unitary elasticity of substitution. The geometric mean formula was adopted to account for what is sometimes called “lower-level” consumer substitution; in other words, the substitution that takes place within item categories, such as apples, as relative prices change. In 2002, the CPI began producing an additional index, the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U). This index uses a “superlative” formula—one in which expenditure data from both the base and current period are used to calculate the indexes. Thus, the final version of the C-CPI-U is based on actual consumer behavior, rather than on assumptions about substitution behavior. However, since expenditure data are only available with a time lag, the indexes are subject to revision until the final

expenditure data are available. The C-CPI-U was created to account for what is sometimes called “upper-level” consumer substitution; that is, the substitution that takes place across item categories, such as apples and oranges, as relative prices change. Since the C-CPI-U uses both geometric means to account for lower-level substitution and a superlative formula to account for upper-level substitution, it is designed to be a closer approximation to a cost-of-living index than the more familiar CPI-U. NEW GOODS AND QUALITY CHANGE BIAS IN THE CPI Perhaps the most fundamental problem in creating a price index is that the market basket available to consumers constantly changes, while the goal is to produce a constant-quality CPI. The Boskin Report estimated an upward “quality change” bias in the CPI (the alleged inability of BLS to fully account for the increased variety and quality of goods and services over time) of 0.6 percent per year, larger than that estimated for the consumer substitution bias. Operationally, the CPI deals with quality change in several different ways. If an item included in the CPI sample is no longer sold in the outlet, a new item is priced in its place. If the new item is substantially different than the discontinued item, then some sort of quality adjustment procedures must be used in order to estimate constantquality price change. One way to estimate constant-quality price change is to make an estimate of the quantitative value of the quality change. This is based on either manufacturer cost data or on estimates of the value to consumers of particular features of the good in question. These values are often estimated with hedonic models, a technique referred to as “hedonics.” This technique is widely considered the most promising for quality adjustment, and the CPI has employed this technique for an increasing number of goods since the Boskin Report was issued. While hedonics is important for particular categories, it is still used for only a small part of the total index; its net impact on indexes has thus been relatively small. Along with quality adjustment of goods in the sample, there is also the issue of goods entering the economy that were not included in the sample. It is important that the CPI gets new goods into the sample quickly, in order to have a market basket that accurately reflects consumer purchases. The CPI program has taken several steps in recent years to keep the market basket up to date. Since 2002, updated Consumer Expenditure Survey weights have been introduced every 2 years (as opposed to roughly every 10 years in the past). Moreover, the lag time from survey to implementation is shorter, and the survey is

completed over a shorter period of time. The result is that weights used in the CPI reflect much more recent consumer behavior than those used in years past. Additionally, the CPI has changed its sample and outlet rotation procedures. In 1998, the CPI went from rotating 20 percent of the outlet sample each year to 25 percent, making the entire sample rotate every 4 years instead of every 5 years. Some items in selected categories (particularly those that tend to change rapidly) are rotated every 2 years. The market basket of the CPI is thus considerably more up to date than it used to be, particularly in terms of high-tech goods. CONCLUSION

changes to improve the index. The implementation of the geometric means formula to calculate basic indexes addresses lower-level substitution bias, and the creation of the C-CPI-U provides a measure that accounts for upperlevel substitution. The expanded use of hedonic models to directly adjust for changes in quality has given BLS commodity analysts another sophisticated option with which to address this issue. More frequent weight updates and sample rotation make the market basket used in calculating the CPI more up to date and reflective of current consumer behavior than ever before. ENDNOTES 1David S.

ARTICLE 2 EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK: 2004–2014— A SUMMARY OF BLS PROJECTIONS TO 2014 This article, written by Norman C. Saunders, is condensed from the summary article in the November 2005 edition of the Monthly Labor Review.1 The issue contains four other articles and tables concerning the projections and can be found on the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Web site at . A short description of the methodology and the detailed tables can be found in Chapter 4 of this Handbook. The U.S. economy is expected to expand at a moderately strong pace over the coming decade, with restrained inflation, continued strong productivity growth, and labor force growth at a steady rate with a favorable outlook for a wide array of job opportunities. The 2014 projections are the 19th in a series of biennial examinations of the aggregate economy; labor force by age, sex, race, and ethnicity; and industry and occupational employment.2 The following four articles present a detailed picture of U.S. employment trends as they are likely to evolve over the 2004–2014 decade under the assumptions used to develop those projections. The articles update the 2002–2012 projections that were published in February 2004. This article presents a synopsis of the conclusions of the projections, a summary of what is new in this round of projections, and some thoughts about the factors that might pose the greatest risks to the accuracy of the projections. SUMMARY OF ARTICLES Aggregate economy. The first article of the series examines the overall economic outlook for the coming decade. Gross domestic product (GDP), which measures the sales of domestically produced goods and services to final users, is projected to grow by an average annual rate of 3.1 percent between 2004 and 2014. Consumer spending continues to account for more than 70 percent of GDP and is projected to grow at an annual rate of 2.8 percent in real terms. Gross private domestic investment is expected to grow 4.7 percent annually between 2004 and 2014. As the dollar continues its expected depreciation against the currencies in major trading partner countries, exports are projected to grow more strongly than they did during the 10 years preceding the projections. Conversely, imports are expected to grow less rapidly than during the past decade. On the government side, a slow but deliberate increase in federal defense spending is expected throughout the projection period, offset by like declines in nondefense spending. State and local government is projected to grow at 2.0 percent per year, slowing a bit from the 1994–2004 period, when it grew by 2.7 percent each year in chained 2000 dollars. The aggregate projections are based on assumptions of an unemployment rate at 5.0 percent in 2014, nonfarm business labor productivity growth of 2.7 percent each year, continuing steady devaluation of the dollar vis-à-vis the currencies of our major trading partners, a per capita real disposable income increasing from $27,200 in 2004 to $33,200 in 2014, and a personal savings rate climbing slowly from 1.8 percent in 2004 to 3.4 percent a decade later. Improvements in the federal deficit and the current

account deficit are expected as well, though neither item is projected to reach a balance or a surplus position by 2014. Labor force. The second article reviews the factors affecting the growth of the labor force by age, sex, race, and ethnicity. The civilian labor force is projected to increase annually by 1.0 percent, the same growth rate as that of the population, representing considerable slowing in growth from previous decades. The labor force is defined as the portion of the population age 16 years and over that is either at work or actively seeking work. The labor force participation rate is the labor force as a proportion of the population age 16 years and over. Growth of the labor force is the result of simultaneous changes in the civilian noninstitutional population and in labor force participation rates. Participation rates are projected to remain flat or to decrease slightly over the next 10 years; therefore, the growth of the labor force will be entirely due to population growth. Population growth itself is a product of changes in fertility, mortality, and migration. Because changes in mortality and fertility rates tend to be very gradual, the main component of population change has been and will continue to be immigration. A closer look at the 2004–2014 labor force shows that certain demographic groups are projected to grow more rapidly than others. The labor force will continue to age, with a projected 4.1 percent annual growth rate for the 55 years old and over age group, more than four times the rate of growth of the overall labor force. Baby boomers entered the labor market beginning in the late 1960s as a huge wave of workers who swelled the level and growth of the labor force. During the 1990s, baby boomers were in the prime-age working group of 25- to 54-year-olds and were still contributing to a relatively high annual growth of the workforce. They will be concentrated in the 50- to 68-yearold age group in 2014. Because older workers tend to have significantly lower participation rates, the baby boomer exit from the workforce, as with their entrance, will have significant impacts on the growth of the labor force. Another interesting fact is that the labor force participation rate of workers over 55 years old has been increasing since the mid-1980s. The increase is projected to continue at least to 2014. The willingness of the 55 years old and over age group to participate in the future labor force or to retire is a multidimensional decision. This decision may be the result of various factors, such as the individual’s health status and the status of pensions, savings, and anticipated Social Security payments. A growing proportion of the retirement-age population appears to be staging their

xxv

transition from full-time work to full retirement as well. One of the most important factors in the increase of the labor force participation rate of older workers has been governmental policies and legislation aimed at eliminating mandatory retirement and outlawing age discrimination. In summary, the labor force is projected to grow steadily into the future, albeit at a slower pace than in the past. BLS assumes that because labor markets clear, slower growth in labor supply will be reflected in slower growth in labor demand. Care should be taken not to compare household-based measures of employment with establishment-based versions discussed at the industry level of detail. Such comparisons could lead to a belief that BLS is predicting shortages when, by assumption, none exist in the projections. Industry employment. The third article examines the outlook for output and employment growth for detailed industries. Nonfarm wage and salary employment is projected to increase by 18.7 million employees between 2004 and 2014, an annual average rate of growth of 1.3 percent. Goods-producing industries are expected to have no growth in employment, as the 1.1 percent annual increase predicted for the construction sector is expected to be offset by declines in manufacturing and mining employment. Employment in the service-providing industries, on the other hand, is expected to continue to grow strongly at a projected annual rate of 1.6 percent. The decline in manufacturing employment does not mean that the manufacturing sector is disappearing from the U.S. economy. Output of manufacturing industries (sales of produced goods to final users and also to other industries) is expected to grow at a healthy 3.5 percent annual rate over the projection period, with declines in employment explained by the offsetting high growth in manufacturing labor productivity. Among the service-providing sectors, the most rapidlygrowing industries are in the health care and social assistance sector and the educational services sector. These two sectors are predicted to account for a little more than 22 million jobs in 2014 and to grow at an annual average rate of 2.8 percent from 2004 to 2014. The largest nongovernment sector is the professional and business services sector, comprising almost 21 million jobs in 2014 and projected to grow at an annual rate of 2.5 percent. Occupational employment. The fourth article reviews the demand for occupations. Among the 10 major occupational groups, employment in the 2 largest in 2004—professional and related occupations and service occupations— will increase the most rapidly and add the most jobs from 2004 to 2014. These major groups, which are on opposite ends of the educational attainment and earnings spectrum, are expected to provide almost 60 percent of the total job growth from 2004 to 2014. Employment is projected to grow a bit faster than overall employment in management, business, and financial occupations. Employment in con-

struction and extraction occupations; installation, maintenance, and repair occupations; transportation and material moving occupations; and sales and related occupations will grow somewhat more slowly. Office and administrative support occupations are projected to grow at only half the rate projected for the total, while farming, fishing, and forestry occupations and production occupations are projected to decline slightly. As a result of the different growth rates among the major occupational groups, the occupational distribution of total employment will change somewhat by the year 2014, but the relative ranking of the groups by employment size is not expected to change much. Professional and related occupations will continue to rank first, while farming, fishing, and forestry occupations will continue to rank last. Professional and related occupations and service occupations will significantly increase their relative share of employment—by 1.4 and 1.0 percentage points, respectively. However, office and administrative support occupations and production occupations should decrease significantly—by 1.0 and 0.9 points, respectively. DEVELOPING ENHANCEMENTS Two innovative projects were part of the 2004–2014 round of projections: 1) a scoring algorithm that allowed occupational analysts to more precisely identify occupations at significant risk of job movement offshore; and 2) a measurement of the actual educational attainment of individuals in occupations as a way of identifying alternative paths to success in specific occupations. Offshoring. In this context, the term “offshoring” refers specifically to white-collar service-providing jobs that were formerly carried out in the United States but are now contracted to service-providing firms in other countries. In the 2012 projections, BLS occupational analysts knew that certain occupations, most notably those in the information technology sector, were at significant risk of offshoring, and the growth in occupational coefficients for these jobs was curtailed. However, the desire still remained to develop a more formalized approach that could be used by the entire occupational staff in the process of determining whether or not specific occupations were at risk of offshoring. The purpose of the offshore scoring exercise was to identify the characteristics of occupations that made them more likely to be at risk for offshoring, and then to have the occupation analysts rate the incidence of those characteristics for all of the service-providing occupations in order to assign a potential risk level, although there was no quantitative use of the score as part of the projections presented in this issue. Where a risk of offshoring was identified, appropriate external information documented such activity, and no other mitigating circumstances were identified, additions were made to the “Job Outlook” section of the affected detailed occupational statements in the forthcoming Occupational Outlook Handbook. This

EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK: 2004–2014 xxvii

addition alerts users interested in those occupations of the potential for offshoring as a factor affecting job growth in the future. Full details regarding the approach and the resulting lists of occupations believed to be at risk are not presented in the article on occupational projections due to space constraints. However, a detailed explanation of the methodology and the results will be presented in the forthcoming 2006–2007 edition of Occupational Projections and Training Data. This is the first time this formalized approach to identifying occupations potentially at risk of offshore outsourcing has been attempted, and the process will continue to undergo evaluation and refinement for future rounds of projections. Educational attainment of occupations. In prior rounds of projections, each occupation was assigned to 1 of 11 training or education categories, based on the occupation’s most significant source of education and training. The assigned category was judged to represent the best avenue for entrance into and for ultimate success in the occupation. While this approach was useful for guidance purposes, further examination found some disparity between the actual educational attainment of individuals in specific occupations and BLS judgment as to the best avenue for success in the occupation. In short, the analysis pointed out that there were many different ways to attain success in an occupation. For example, higher educational attainments often were seen as an alternative to extensive onthe-job training. In other cases, it became apparent that a high school education allowed certain chances of success in occupations formerly believed to be bachelor’s degree or higher jobs. For this round of projections, the educational attainment of occupations will be compared, contrasted, and discussed in the Occupational Outlook Handbook and in Occupational Projections and Training Data. RISKS TO THE PROJECTIONS

trophes, nor any other unanticipated factors which could upset the behavior of the various models used in the projections process. These standard disclaimers may not be completely appropriate at this point. In addition to the financing of the two military engagements underway in Afganistan and Iraq, the potential exists for even higher military spending than assumed in these projections. Thus, military spending may well have greater impacts than anticipated in these projections. Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit Mississippi and Louisiana with catastrophic effects, especially on the city of New Orleans, and Hurricane Wilma devastated South Florida. It remains to be seen what the longer-term impact on GDP growth will be in response to lost production as well as potential rebuilding efforts. All of these factors and more may serve to modify to some extent the path of the projections from 2004. Overall, however, the U.S. economy is healthy and resilient. It has demonstrated a number of times in the past decade its ability to shrug off serious dislocations and continue to grow apace. Even though the factors mentioned above are worrying, it is believed that the 2014 projections of growth are reasonable and attainable and that the occupational demand estimates provide excellent guidance to students and others making critical career and educational decisions.

ARTICLE 3 HURRICANE KATRINA AND THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS: A SUMMARY OF ARTICLES FROM THE AUGUST 2006 EDITION OF THE MONTHLY LABOR REVIEW The August 2006 issue of the Monthly Labor Review was devoted to articles describing the impact of Hurricane Katrina on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’s (BLS), collection activities and results. The following are excerpts from these articles, which were written by both BLS and non-BLS staff. The Monthly Labor Review can be found on the BLS Web site at . THE LABOR MARKET IMPACT OF HURRICANE KATRINA: AN OVERVIEW

The benchmarking process is intended to correct for sampling error and nonsampling error in the CES estimates.

Prepared by staff members from several BLS data programs and assembled by Karen Kosanovich

Both the CES and the QCEW programs faced major operational and analytical challenges while collecting data following Hurricane Katrina. At the same time, there was great demand for these data as policymakers tried to assess the immediate and long-term effects of the storm.

This overview provides a look at Hurricane Katrina’s impact on the labor markets of Louisiana and Mississippi and, to some extent, Alabama and Florida. An estimated 17 percent of Louisiana’s employment and 5 percent of Mississippi’s employment were located within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)–designated damage zones. The two states experienced a sharp rise in mass layoff events and unemployment rates after Hurricane Katrina. In June 2006, Mississippi’s employment level had returned to its pre-Katrina level, while Louisiana’s had not. Evacuees once again living in their pre-Katrina homes in June 2006 had a lower unemployment rate than those who were not living in their pre-Katrina homes. HURRICANE KATRINA’S EFFECTS ON INDUSTRY EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES Written by Molly Garber, Linda Unger, James White, and Linda Wohlford1 BLS has two programs that measure employment and wages by industry: the Current Employment Statistics (CES) program and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program. Both operate as federalstate cooperative programs in which BLS partners with workforce agencies in each state. The CES program surveys approximately 400,000 business establishments nationwide and publishes estimates of employment, hours, and earnings for the nation, states, and metropolitan areas. Estimates are released 1 month after the reference month; for example, March estimates are published in April. The QCEW provides a virtual census (97 percent) of monthly employment and quarterly total wages, derived from Unemployment Insurance tax records that almost all employers are required to file quarterly. QCEW series for the nation, states, metropolitan areas, and counties are published 7 months after the end of the reference quarter. For example, first quarter (January through March) employment and wage counts are published in October. Thus, the CES estimates are timelier, but the QCEW series are more comprehensive and publish far more industry and geographic detail. The CES employment estimates are benchmarked annually to the QCEW employment counts.

THE CURRENT POPULATION SURVEY RESPONSE TO HURRICANE KATRINA Written by Lawrence S. Cahoon, Diane E. Herz, Richard C. Ning, Anne E. Polivka, Maria E. Reed, Edwin L. Robison, and Gregory D. Weyland2 On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina struck the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, devastating the city of New Orleans and the surrounding Louisiana parishes, as well as Gulf Coast towns in Mississippi. The immediate emergency and the storm’s widespread reach and long-lasting devastation presented unprecedented challenges to statistical agencies charged with measuring the economic situation in the affected areas and in the United States as a whole. At the time of the storm, BLS and the Census Bureau were discussing a proposed disaster estimation strategy for the Current Population Survey (CPS) program, the U.S. national labor force survey. However, no formal plan was in place for dealing with such a situation when the hurricane struck the coast. At news of the storm’s approach, representatives from the two agencies, which co-sponsor the monthly survey of approximately 60,000 occupied housing units, began meeting to discuss how different scenarios might affect operations and estimation. After landfall, when the severity of the damage became more clear, the two bureaus met several times a day and worked between meetings to locate and support staff in the affected areas, assess problems with operations, and determine how to proceed with estimation and data dissemination. THE EFFECT OF HURRICANE KATRINA ON EMPLOYMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT Written by Sharon P. Brown, Sandra L. Mason, and Richard B. Tiller3 The Local Area Unemployment Statistics (LAUS) estimates for the month of September 2005 were among the first subnational data to reflect the impact of Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, with catastrophic effects in parts of Louisiana, Mississippi,

and Alabama. Beginning in September and continuing into the present, BLS and its state partners made a number of critical modifications to standard estimating procedures to better reflect the employment and unemployment situation in the affected areas. BLS analyzed the subnational Current Population Survey (CPS) estimates and verified that they did not reflect the economic upheaval created by the hurricane and its aftermath. BLS also evaluated unemployment insurance statistics and state and area nonfarm employment estimates. To address estimating issues at the state level, models were modified to allow the state-supplied inputs of nonfarm employment and unemployment insurance claimants to have far greater weight in the calculations of estimates. In addition, breaking with long-standing practice, BLS introduced special intervention variables into the models in real time in order to immediately reflect the effect of Katrina. Area estimation procedures also were modified. The identification and implementation of revised estimation approaches at the state and area levels and of model interventions necessary each month in Louisiana and Mississippi required innovation and risk taking, as standard methods were adapted in an attempt to fully reflect the impact of Katrina.

Virtually all of the coastal zone and watershed counties6 and parishes of Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana, plus the coastal counties in Texas from Houston eastward, were affected by the two hurricanes. The coastal zone counties and parishes of the four states account for nearly a quarter of employment and wages in those states. In Louisiana, the coastal parishes are more than half of the state’s economy. The combined coastal zone and watershed counties and parishes on the Gulf of Mexico constituted 14 percent of employment in Alabama, 4 percent in Mississippi, 6 percent in Florida, a considerably greater 33 percent in Texas, and 80 percent in Louisiana.

HURRICANE DAMAGE TO THE OCEAN ECONOMY IN THE U.S. GULF REGION IN 2005 Written by Charles S. Colgan and Jefferey Adkins4 In 2005, insured losses from hurricanes and other catastrophes were greater than in any other year in U.S. history. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Hurricane Center estimates that $85 billion of total damages resulted from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita alone. One year later, the region affected by these two hurricanes still struggles to recover, both as a place to live and as a viable economy. Using data from the BLS Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, the National Ocean Economics Program has developed a data series that allows the economic damage to coastal regions to be seen in a new light: what happens to the economic value derived from the ocean when the ocean turns from resource and respite to a massive engine of destruction?5 According to federal disaster declarations, Hurricane Katrina affected all counties and parishes within Mississippi and Louisiana, plus 22 counties in Alabama and 9 counties in Florida. Hurricane Rita affected all parishes in Louisiana and 26 counties in Texas. The greatest effects were in areas closest to the coast, where the storm’s effects were at their maximum intensity. Coastal counties and parishes include those designated as such by each state under the Federal Coastal Zone Management Program, as well as those designated as coastal watershed counties or parishes by the U.S. Geological Survey.

SUMMARY OF SELECTED ECONOMIC INDICATORS These figures, which also appear in the relevant chapters of this publication, show the significant economic changes that took place during the recovery from the recession of 2000. They are also important indicators of the factors that will affect the economy in the future. While employment has recovered, manufacturing employment is still declining (although at a much slower rate than in during previous years). The costs of providing employee benefits continue to have important implications for total compensation costs, especially as real wages stagnate and the labor force ages. Finally, problems have been created by the rapid increase in fuel prices.

CHAPTER ONE POPULATION, LABOR FORCE, AND EMPLOYMENT STATUS

POPULATION, LABOR FORCE, AND EMPLOYMENT STATUS HIGHLIGHTS This chapter presents the detailed historical information collected in the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly survey of households that gathers data on the employment status of the population. Basic data on labor force, employment, and unemployment are shown for various characteristics of the population, including age, sex, race, and marital status.

The proportion of the labor force made up of Whites declined over the 1995–2005 decade, dropping from 84.6 percent to 81.9 percent; the proportion made up of Blacks increased slightly from 11.2 percent in 1995 to 11.4 percent in 2005, mainly due to the increasing number of Black women in the labor force. Hispanic representation rose significantly, increasing from 9.3 percent in 1995 to 13.3 percent in 2005. Hispanics may be of any race. (See Table 1-3.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • The labor force increased more quickly in 2005 than in 2004 (1.3 percent compared to 0.6 percent). However, the total labor force participation rate was 66 percent in both years. (See Tables 1-1 and 1-8.) • The labor force participation rate of persons age 65 years and over grew in 2005, a continuation of the steady increase in this group’s participation rate over the past 10 years. From 1995 to 2005, the participation rate for this age group grew from 12.1 percent to 15.1 percent. (See Table 1-8.) • In 2005, the number of Black women in the labor force exceeded the number of Black men in the labor force by nearly 1.02 million. This gap was smaller than in 2004 due to a 2.9 percent increase in the labor force of Black men. (See Table 1-7.) • The labor force participation rate for married women rose from 53.8 percent in 1985 to 60.7 percent in 2005. (See Table 1-4.) • The Midwest continued to have the highest labor force participation rate at 68.2 percent, 2.2 percentage points above the national average. The south had the lowest labor force participation rate at 64.9 percent. (See Table 1-5.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS CURRENT POPULATION SURVEY OF HOUSEHOLDS Collection and Coverage The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) uses data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) to compile statistics on the employment status of the population and related data. The Census Bureau—using a scientifically selected sample of the civilian noninstitutional population—conducts the CPS, a monthly survey of households, for BLS. The CPS sample has been increased from 50,000 to 60,000 households. The new sample was introduced in September 2000. However, in order to evaluate the impact of the change, the estimates of the national labor force from the additional sample were not introduced at that time. Since the estimates from the two samples were virtually the same, BLS began incorporating the additional sample into official national estimates in July 2001. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information about the employment status of each household member age 16 years and over. The inquiry relates to the household member’s employment status during the calendar week, Sunday through Saturday, that contains the 12th day of the month. This is known as the “reference week.” Actual field interviewing is conducted during the following week (the week that contains the 19th day of the month). Concepts and Definitions The concepts and definitions underlying the labor force data have been modified—but not substantially altered— since the inception of the survey in 1940. Current definitions of some of the major concepts used in the CPS are described below. The civilian noninstitutional population includes persons 16 years of age and over who reside in the 50 states and the District of Columbia, who are not inmates of institutions (such as penal and mental facilities and homes for the aged), and who are not on active duty in the armed forces. An employed person is any person who, during the reference week: (1) did any work at all (at least one hour) as a paid employee in his or her own business, profession, or on their own farm, or who worked 15 hours or more as an unpaid worker in an enterprise operated by a member of the family; and (2) any person who was not working but who had a job or business from which he or she was temporarily absent due to vacation, illness, bad weather, childcare problems, maternity or paternity leave, labor-management disputes, job training, or other family or personal reasons, despite whether the employee was being paid for the time off or was 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 as being 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 were temporarily in the United States but not living on the premises of an embassy. Excluded are persons whose only activity during the reference week consisted of work around their own house (painting, repairing, or own home housework) or volunteer work for religious, charitable, and similar organizations. Unemployed persons are all persons who had no employment during the reference week, but who were available for work (except for temporary illness) and had made specific efforts to find employment some time during the four-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 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 of unemployment is the arithmetic average computed from single weeks of unemployment; median duration of unemployment is the midpoint of the distribution of weeks of unemployment. Reasons for unemployment are divided into four major groups: (1) job losers, defined as (a) persons on temporary layoff, who have been given a date to return to work or who expect to return to work within six months; (b) permanent job losers, whose employment ended involuntarily and who began looking for work; and (c) persons who completed a temporary job and began looking for work after the job ended; (2) job leavers, defined as persons who quit or otherwise terminated their employment voluntarily and immediately began looking for work; (3) reentrants, defined as persons who previously worked but were out of the labor force prior to beginning their job search; and (4) new entrants, defined as persons who had never worked but were currently searching for work. The civilian labor force comprises all civilians classified as employed or unemployed. The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed persons as a percentage of the civilian labor force. The participation rate represents the proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population currently in the labor force. The employment-population ratio represents the proportion of the population that is currently employed.

CHAPTER 1: POPULATION, LABOR FORCE, AND EMPLOYMENT STATUS 5

Persons not in the labor force are all persons in the civilian noninstitutional population who are neither employed nor unemployed. Information is collected about their desire for and availability to take a job at the time of the CPS interview, job search activity during the prior year, and reason for not looking for work during the four-week period ending with the reference week. Persons not in the labor force who want and are available for a job and who have looked for work within the past 12 months (or since the end of their last job, if they had held one within the past 12 months), but who are not currently looking, are designated as marginally attached to the labor force. The marginally attached are divided into those not currently looking because they believe their search would be futile—so-called discouraged workers—and those not currently looking for other reasons, such as family responsibilities, ill health, or lack of transportation.

workers to one of the following categories: private and government wage and salary workers, self-employed workers, and unpaid family workers. Wage and salary workers receive wages, salaries, commissions, tips, or pay in kind from a private employer or from a government unit. Self-employed workers are those who work for profit or fees in their own businesses, professions, trades, or on their own farms. Only the unincorporated self-employed are included in the self-employed category in the class-ofworker typology. Self-employed workers who respond that their businesses are incorporated are included among wage and salary workers, because they are technically paid employees of a corporation. An unpaid family worker is a person who works without pay for 15 hours or more per week on a farm or in a business operated by a member of the household to whom the worker is related by birth or marriage.

Discouraged workers are defined as persons not in the labor force who want and are available for a job and who have looked for work within in the past 12 months (or since the end of their last job, if they held one within the past 12 months), but who are not currently looking because they believe that there are no jobs available or there are none for which they would qualify. The reasons for not currently looking for work include a person’s belief that no work is available in his or her line of work or area; he or she could not find any work; he or she lacks necessary schooling, training, skills, or experience; employers would think he or she is too young or too old; or he or she would encounter hiring discrimination.

A multiple jobholder is an employed person who, during the reference week, had two or more jobs as a wage and salary worker, was 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 only employed in private households (as a 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.

Usual full- or part-time status refers to hours usually worked per week. Full-time workers are those who usually work 35 hours or more (at all jobs). This group includes some individuals who worked less than 35 hours during the reference week for economic or noneconomic reasons. Part-time workers are those who usually work less than 35 hours per week (at all jobs), regardless of the number of hours worked during the reference week. These concepts are used to differentiate a person’s normal schedule from his or her specific activity during the reference week. Unemployed persons who are looking for full-time work or who are on layoff from full-time jobs are counted as part of the full-time labor force; unemployed persons who are seeking part-time work or who are on layoff from parttime jobs are counted as part of the part-time labor force. Occupation, industry, and class of worker for members of the employed population are determined by the job held during the reference week. Persons with two or more jobs are classified as being in the job at which they worked the greatest number of hours. The unemployed are classified according to their last job. Beginning with data published in 2003, the systems used to classify occupational and industry data changed. They are currently based on the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). (See the following section on historical comparability for a discussion of previous classification systems used in the CPS.) The class-of-worker breakdown assigns

At work part-time for economic reasons, sometimes called involuntary part-time, 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 working part-time for economic reasons. At work part-time for noneconomic reasons refers to persons who usually work part-time and were at work 1 to 34 hours during the reference week for a noneconomic reason. Noneconomic reasons include illness or other medical limitations, childcare problems or other family or personal obligations, school or training, retirement or Social Security limits on earnings, and being in a job where fulltime work is less than 35 hours. This also includes workers who gave an economic reason for usually working 1 to 34 hours but said they did not want to work full-time or were unavailable for full-time work. White, Black, and Asian are terms used to describe the race of persons. Persons in these categories are those who selected that race only. Persons in the remaining race categories—American Indian or Alaskan Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and persons who selected more than one race category—are included in the estimates of total employment and unemployment but are not shown separately because the number of survey

respondents is too small to develop estimates of sufficient quality for monthly publication.

to the data on tenure usually collected in the February supplement to the CPS.

Hispanic origin refers to persons who identified themselves in the enumeration process as being Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino. Persons of Hispanic or Latino origin may be of any race.

Persons with work experience are civilians who worked at any time during the preceding calendar year at full- or part-time jobs for pay or profit (including paid vacations and sick leave) or who worked without pay on farms or in family-operated businesses. From 1989 onward, these supplementary tables also include members of the armed forces.

Single, never married; married, spouse present; and other marital status are the terms used to define the marital status of individuals at the time of the CPS interview. Married, spouse present, applies to a husband and wife if both were living in the same household, even though one may be temporarily absent on business, vacation, 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 living apart because one was employed elsewhere, on duty with the armed forces, or for any other reason. 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 not applied to either husbands or wives in married-couple families; it refers only to persons in families maintained by either men or women without a spouse. 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 members of one family. Families are classified as either married-couple families or families maintained by women or men without spouses. Children refer to “own” children of the husband, wife, or person maintaining the family, including sons and daughters, stepchildren, and adopted children. Excluded are other related children, such as grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and unrelated children. The annual CPS data on the employment characteristics of families and family members began with data for 1995. These data are not strictly comparable with family data derived from the March supplement to the CPS. The annual data are derived by averaging the data for each month of the year, whereas the March data refer to that specific month. The annual average data provide a larger sample size, while the March data provide a longer historical series. Additional Concepts and Definitions: CPS Supplements In addition to the above concepts and definitions, the definitions below apply to the special labor force data collected annually in the March supplement to the CPS and

Tenure refers to length of time a worker has been continuously employed by his or her current employer. These data are collected through a supplement to the CPS. All employed persons were asked how long they had been working continuously for their present employer and, if the length of time was one or two years, a follow-up question was asked about the exact number of months. The follow-up question was included for the first time in the February 1996 supplement to the CPS. CPS supplements that obtained information on tenure in the Januaries of 1983, 1987, and 1991 did not include the follow-up question. Prior to 1983, the question was asked differently. Data prior to 1983 are thus not strictly comparable to data for subsequent years. Year-round, full-time workers are workers who primarily worked at full-time jobs for 50 weeks or more during the preceding calendar year. Part-year workers worked either full- or part-time for 1 to 49 weeks. A spell of unemployment is a continuous period of unemployment of at least one week’s duration and is terminated by either employment or withdrawal from the labor force. Extent of unemployment refers to the number of workers and proportion of the labor force that were unemployed at some time during the year. The number of weeks unemployed is the total number of weeks accumulated during the entire calendar year. Earnings are all money income of $1 or more from wages and salaries and all net money income of $1 or more from farm and nonfarm self-employment. Educational attainment refers to years of school completed in regular schools, which include graded public, private, and parochial elementary, and high schools, whether day or night school. Colleges, universities, and professional schools are also included. Minimum wage refers to the prevailing federal minimum wage, which was $5.15 per hour in 2005. Data are for wage and salary workers who were paid hourly rates and refer to a person’s earnings at the sole or principal job. Absences are defined as instances in which persons who usually work 35 or more hours a week worked less than that during the reference period for reasons of illness or family obligations. Excluded are situations in which work

CHAPTER 1: POPULATION, LABOR FORCE, AND EMPLOYMENT STATUS 7

was missed for vacation, holidays, or other reasons. The estimates are based on one-fourth of the sample only. Historical Comparability While current survey concepts and methods are very similar to those used for the inaugural CPS in 1940, a number of changes have been made over the years to improve the accuracy and usefulness of the data. Only the latest changes are described here. Major changes to the CPS, such as the complete redesign of the questionnaire and the use of computer-assisted interviewing for the entire survey, were introduced in 1994. In addition, there were revisions to some of the labor force concepts and definitions, including the implementation of 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 at this time included the following: 1) A redesigned and automated questionnaire was implemented. 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. 2) The addition of two criteria made the definition of discouraged workers more objective. Beginning in 1994, persons classified as discouraged workers must 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.) 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. 3) Similarly, the identification of persons employed parttime for economic reasons (working less than 35 hours during the reference week because of poor business conditions or an inability to find full-time work) was tightened by adding two new criteria for persons who usually work part-time: these persons must now want and be available for full-time work. (Persons who usually work full-time but worked part-time for economic reasons during the reference week are assumed to meet these criteria.) 4) 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. Comparability of Labor Force Levels In addition to the refinements in concepts, definitions, and methods made over the years, other changes—made to improve the accuracy of the estimates—have also affected the comparability of the labor force data. The most important of these changes is the adjustment of the population

totals as a result of new information from the decennial censuses. It is also crucial to correct for estimating errors during the intercensal years. Beginning in January 1997, updated information on the demographic characteristics of immigrants and emigrants was introduced. This increased the overall population by about 470,000, the labor force by about 320,000, and employment by about 290,000, with similar upward adjustments for Hispanics. Unemployment and other percentage rates were not affected. Beginning in January 1998, new estimating procedures were introduced, which reduced labor force by about 229,000 and employment by about 256,000. However, these new procedures raised unemployment by about 27,000. New information about immigration and emigration was also incorporated, which increased the Hispanic population by about 57,000. Unemployment rates were not significantly affected. Beginning in January 1999, new information on immigration raised the population by about 310,000, with differing impacts on different demographic groups. The population of men was lowered by about 185,000, but the population of women was raised by about 490,000. The Hispanic population was lowered by about 165,000 while the rest of the population was raised by about 470,000. Hispanic labor force and employment estimates were each reduced by over 200,000. The impact on unemployment rates and other percentages was small. Beginning in January 2003, several other changes were introduced into the CPS. These changes included the following: 1) Population controls that reflected the results of the 2000 census were introduced into the monthly CPS estimation process. These new population size controls substantially increased the size of the civilian noninstitutional population and the civilian labor force. Data from January 2000 through December 2002 were revised to reflect the higher population estimates from the 2000 census and the higher rates of population growth since the census. The entire amount of this adjustment was added to the labor force data in January 2003, resulting in the increases of about 941,000 to the civilian noninstitutional population and about 614,000 to the civilian labor force. The unemployment rate and other ratios were not substantially affected by either of these population control adjustments. 2) Questions on race and Hispanic origin were modified to comply with the new standards for maintaining, collecting, and presenting federal data on race and ethnicity for federal statistical agencies. The questions were reworded to indicate that individuals could select more than once race category and to convey more clearly that individuals should report their own perception of what race is. These changes had no impact on the overall civilian noninstitutional population and civilian labor force. However, they

8 HANDBOOK OF U.S. LABOR STATISTICS (BERNAN PRESS)

did reduce the population and labor force levels of Whites, Blacks, and Asians beginning in January 2003. 3) Improvements were introduced to both the second stage and composite weighting procedures. These changes adapted the weighting procedures to the new race/ethnicity classification system and enhanced the stability over time for demographic groups. The second-stage weighting procedure substantially reduced the variability of estimates and corrected, to some extent, for CPS underreporting. Changes in the Occupational and Industrial Classification System 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 was so radically different in concepts and nomenclature from the 1970 system that comparisons of historical data are not possible without major adjustments. 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 industrial system had much less of an adverse effect on historical comparability than did the new occupational system.

Beginning in January 1992, the occupational and industrial classification systems used in the 1990 census were introduced into the CPS. 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. In January 2003, the CPS adopted the 2002 census industry and occupational classification systems, which were derived, respectively, from the 2002 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and the 2000 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. The introduction of the new industry and occupational classification systems created a complete break in comparability at all levels of industry and occupation aggregation. For more information about the January 2003 change in the CPS classification systems, see the BLS Web site at . Sources of Additional Information A complete description of sampling and estimation procedures and further information on the impact of historical changes in the surveys can be found in the February issues of Employment and Earnings, a BLS publication, and in the updated version of Chapter 1 of the BLS Handbook of

2005

The aging of the working population is evidenced by in the figure above. From 1995 to 2005, the proportion of employed persons age 16 to 44 years declined, while the percentage of employed persons age 45 years and over increased. Workers age 45 years and over made up 40 percent of employed civilians, up from 32 percent in 1995. (See Table 1-11.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Total employment increased 1.8 percent from 2004 to 2005. The largest percentage increase was in the 55- to 64-year-old age group (5.9 percent), followed closely by the 65 years and over age group (5.7 percent). (See Table 1-11.) • There were declines in the number of employed civilians in two age groups from 1995 to 2005. The number of employed civilians age 16 to 19 years dropped by over 400,000 and the number of employed civilians age 25 to 34 years decreased by nearly 1.7 million. (See Table 1-11.) • The Hispanic work force is younger than average: 70 percent of the total number of employed Hispanics belonged in the 20- to 44-year-old age group in 2005. In contrast, only 56 percent of all workers were between 20 and 44 years of age. (See Table 1-11.) • In 2005, 58 percent of management, business, and financial occupations employees were men and 42 percent were women. The reverse was true for professional and related occupations, which included teachers; 56 percent were women and 44 percent were men. Service occupations accounted for 20 percent of female employment and 13 percent of male employment. (See Table 1-13.) • Employment in the construction industry rose 4 percent in 2005 and provided 17 percent of the total employment increase. Retail trade and health care services also contributed to the increase in employment, while employment in manufacturing declined slightly. (See Table 1-14.) • The number of employed persons age 25 years and over increased 15 percent from 1995 to 2005, while the employment of those with a bachelor’s degree or higher increased 32 percent during this period. (See Table 1-16.)

Note: Data prior to 1985 reflect 1970 census–based population controls; for 1985 to 1991, data reflect 1980 census–based controls; and for 1994 to 1997, data reflect 1990 census–based controls adjusted for the estimated undercount. Beginning in 1994, data reflect the introduction of a major redesign of the Current Population Survey (CPS). Beginning in 1997, data reflect revised population controls. Beginning in 1998, data reflect new composite estimation procedures and revised population controls. Beginning in 1999, 2000, and 2004, data reflect revised population controls. These changes affect comparability with data for prior periods. Comprehensive surveys of multiple jobholders were not conducted in 1981–1984, 1986–1988, 1990, or 1992–1993. 1Multiple jobholders as 2Data for years prior to

Estimates for the above race groups (White or Black) do not sum to totals because data are not presented for all races. Detail may not sum to total due to rounding. Data for 2003 reflect the revised population controls used in the Current Population Survey (CPS). 1Usually work 35 hours or more a week at all jobs. 2Beginning in 2003, families where the householder selected this race group only; families where the householder selected more than one race group are excluded. Prior to 2003, families

where the householder selected more than one race group were included in the group that the householder identified as the main race.

The unemployment rate fell for all groups in 2005. The overall unemployment rate dropped to 5.1 percent; however, it was still much higher than the recent low of 4.0 percent, which occured in 2000. The rates for Black men and women continued to be more than double the rates for White men and women. (See Table 1-27.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • The number of unemployed persons dropped by over 500,000 from 2004 to 2005, but the total was still 1.9 million higher than the total in 2000. (See Table 1-26.) • The disparity in unemployment rates among age and race groups continued to be substantial in 2005. For example, the unemployment rate for White men age 20 to 24 years was 7.9 percent; for Black men of the same age, the unemployment rate was 20.5 percent. Black women age 20 to 24 years had an unemployment rate of 16.3 percent, while White women in that age group had an unemployment rate of 6.4 percent. (See Table 1-27.) • From 2004 to 2005, the median duration of unemployment dropped from 9.8 to 8.9 weeks. (See Table 1-30.) • In 2005, the states with the highest unemployment rates and the largest increases in unemployment from the previous year were Louisiana and Mississippi, the two states hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina. In Louisiana, the unemployment rate increased from 5.7 percent to 7.1 percent. In Mississippi, the unemployment rate increased from 6.3 percent to 7.9 percent. (See Table 1-5.)

Note: The prevailing federal minimum wage was $5.15 per hour in 2005. Data are for wage and salary workers, excluding the incorporated self-employed. They refer to a person's earnings for their sole or principal job and pertain only to workers who are paid hourly rates. Salaried workers and other non-hourly workers are not included. The presence of workers with hourly earnings below the minimum wage does not necessarily indicate violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as there are exceptions to the minimum wage provisions of the law. In addition, some survey respondents might have rounded hourly earnings to the nearest dollar, and, as a result, reported hourly earnings below the minimum wage even though they earned the minimum wage or higher. Beginning in January 2005, data reflect the revised population controls used in the household survey.

1May be of any race. 2The distinction between full- and part-time workers is based on the hours usually worked. These data will not sum to totals because full- or part-time status on the principal job is not identifiable

for a small number of multiple jobholders.

Note: Beginning in January 2003, data reflect the revised population controls used in the household survey.

1Absences are defined as instances when persons who usually work 35 or more hours a week worked less than 35 hours during the reference week for reasons including own illness,

injury, or medical problems; childcare problems; other family or personal obligations; civic or military duty; and maternity or paternity leave. Excluded are situations in which work was missed due to vacation or personal days, holidays, labor disputes, and other reasons. For multiple jobholders, absence data refer only to work missed at their main jobs. The absence rate is the ratio of workers with absences to total full-time wage and salary employment. The estimates of full-time wage and salary employment shown in this table do not match those in other tables because the estimates in this table are based on the full Current Population Survey (CPS) sample. Those in the other tables are based on a quarter of the sample only. 2Hours absent as a percentage of hours usually worked.

CHAPTER 1: POPULATION, LABOR FORCE, AND EMPLOYMENT STATUS 147

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS CONTINGENT AND ALTERNATIVE EMPLOYMENT Data on contingent workers is collected through a supplement to the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly survey of about 60,000 households that provides data on employment and unemployment for the nation. The Census Bureau conducts the CPS for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The purpose of this supplement is to obtain information from workers on whether they held contingent jobs (jobs expected to last for only a limited period of time). Information is also collected on several alternative employment arrangements, namely working on call and as an independent contractor, as well as working through temporary help agencies or contract firms. Several major changes introduced into the CPS in 2003 affect the data that presented in this Handbook. These include the introduction of Census 2000 population controls, the use of new questions about race and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, the presentation of data for Asians, and the introduction of new industry and occupational classification systems. For a detailed discussion of these changes and their impact on CPS data, see “Revisions to the Current Population Survey Effective in January 2003” in the February 2003 issue of Employment and Earnings, available on the BLS Web site at . All employed persons, except unpaid family workers, were included in the February 2005 supplement. For persons holding more than one job, the questions referred to the characteristics of their main job—the job at which they worked the most hours. Similar surveys were conducted in the Februaries of 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2001, and 2005. Defining and Estimating the Contingent Workforce Contingent workers are defined as those who do not have an explicit or implicit contract for long-term employment. Several pieces of data are collected in the supplement; these allow the existence of a contingent employment arrangement to be discerned. Included information consists of the following: whether the job is temporary or not expected to continue, how long the worker expects to be able to hold the job, and how long the worker has held the job. For workers who have a job with an intermediary (namely a temporary help agency or a contract company), information is collected about their employment at the place they are assigned to work by the intermediary as well as about their employment with the intermediary itself. The key factor used to determine whether a worker’s job fits the conceptual definition of contingent is whether the job is temporary or not expected to continue. The first questions in the supplement ask: (1) “Some people are in temporary jobs that last only for a limited time or until the completion of a project. Is your job temporary?” (2) “Provided

the economy does not change and your job performance is adequate, can you continue to work for your current employer as long as you wish?” Respondents who answer “yes” to the first question or “no” to the second are then asked a series of questions designed to distinguish persons in temporary jobs from those who, for personal reasons, are temporarily holding jobs that offer the opportunity of ongoing employment. To assess the impact of altering some of the defining factors on the estimated size of the contingent workforce, three measures of contingent employment were developed: 1) Estimate one, which is the narrowest of the three estimates, measures contingent workers as wage and salary workers who expect to work in their current job for one year or less and who have worked for their current employer for one year or less. Self-employed workers, both incorporated and unincorporated, and independent contractors are excluded from the count of contingent workers under estimate one; individuals who work for temporary help agencies or contract companies are considered contingent under estimate one only if they expect their employment arrangement with the temporary help or contract company to last for one year or less and they have worked for the company for one year or less. 2) Estimate two expands the measure of the contingent work force by including the self-employed—both the incorporated and the unincorporated—and independent contractors who expect to be, and have been, in such employment arrangements for one year or less. (The questions asked of the self-employed are different from those asked of wage and salary workers.) In addition, temporary help and contract company workers are classified as contingent under estimate two if they have worked and expect to work with customers to whom they have been assigned for one year or less. 3) Estimate three expands the count of contingency by removing the one-year requirement on both expected duration of the job and current tenure for wage and salary workers. The estimate effectively includes all the wage and salary workers who do not expect their employment to last, except for those who, for personal reasons, expect to leave jobs that they would otherwise be able to keep. Thus, a worker who has held a job for five years could be considered contingent if he or she now views the job as temporary.

CHAPTER 1: POPULATION, LABOR FORCE, AND EMPLOYMENT STATUS 153

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS FLEXIBLE WORKERS These data and other information on work schedules were obtained from a supplement to the May 2004 Current Population Survey (CPS). This was the first time since 2001 that this supplemental survey was conducted. Respondents to the May 2004 supplement answered questions about flexible and shift schedules, their reasons for working particular shifts, the beginning and ending hours of their workdays, the availability of formal flextime programs and home-based work, and other related topics. The

data cover the incidence and nature of flexible and shift schedules and pertain to wage and salary workers who usually work 35 hours or more per week at their principal job. The data exclude all self-employed persons, regardless of whether or not their businesses were incorporated.

CHAPTER TWO EMPLOYMENT, HOURS, AND EARNINGS

EMPLOYMENT AND HOURS HIGHLIGHTS The employment, hours, and earnings data in this section are derived from the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, which covers 400,000 establishments, and are presented by industry and state. The employment numbers differ from those presented in Chapter 1 from the household survey because of the dissimilarities in methodology, concepts, definitions, and coverage. As the CES survey data are obtained from payroll records, they are consistent with industry classifications. The data on hours and earnings are also likely to be more accurate.

Total employment increased 1.5 percent from 2004 to 2005, as private sector employment rose 1.7 percent and government employment went up 0.8 percent. Manufacturing employment continued to decline; it dropped very slowly, decreasing at a rate of less than 1 percent. (See Table 2-1.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • In 2005, total employment increased by more than 2 million jobs, with the private service-providing sector contributing 1.8 million jobs (more than 90 percent of the total). (See Table 2-1.) • The construction industry was again a leader in employment gains in 2005, adding 300,000 jobs and increasing by 4.3 percent from 2004. The information sector declined slightly, with a drop in employment of 52,000 jobs. (See Table 2-1.) • Total government employment increased by 180,000 jobs in 2005; this was largely the result of an increase in local government employment. (See Table 2-1.) • Average weekly hours of production or nonsupervisory workers in private industry increased by 0.1 hours; however, the index of aggregate hours increased by 2.4 hours as employment increased. (See Tables 2-6 and 2-9.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS EMPLOYMENT, HOURS, AND EARNINGS Collection and Coverage The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) works with State Employment Security Agencies (SESAs) to conduct the Current Employment Statistics (CES), or establishment, survey. This survey collects monthly data on employment, hours, and earnings from a sample of nonfarm establishments (including government). The CES sample includes about 160,000 businesses and government agencies and covers approximately 400,000 individual worksites. The active CES sample includes approximately one-third of all nonfarm payroll workers. From these data, a large number of employment, hours, and earnings series with considerable industrial and geographic detail are prepared and published. The most frequently used data collection method is the touchtone data entry (TDE) system. Under the TDE system, the respondent uses a touchtone telephone to call a toll-free number and activate an interview session. Other frequently used data collection methods include computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI), electronic files transmission (EDI), and interviews over the Internet. Establishment survey data are adjusted annually to accord with comprehensive counts of employment in March of the preceding year; these adjustments are called “benchmarks.” All estimates back to the most recent benchmark month are subject to revision each year when new benchmarks become available. National benchmarks are published 11 months after the benchmark month (March). For example, the revised estimates based on the March 2003 benchmarks were released in February 2004. The benchmarks are derived mainly from employment reports from all employers subject to unemployment insurance. The related series on production and nonsupervisory workers, hours, and earnings are recalculated to be consistent with the employment benchmarks. Concepts and Definitions Industry classification The CES survey completed a conversion from its original quota sample design to a probability-based sample survey design and switched from the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) in 2003. The industry-coding update included reconstruction of historical estimates in order to preserve time series for data users. The foundation of industrial classification with NAICS has changed how establishments are classified into industries and how businesses, as they exist today, are recognized.

Establishments reporting on BLS Form 790 are classified into industries on the basis of their primary activity. Those that use comparable capital equipment, labor, and raw material inputs are classified together. This information is collected on a supplement to the quarterly unemployment insurance tax reports filed by employers. For an establishment engaging in more than one activity, the entire employment of the establishment is included under the industry indicated by the principal activity. Industry employment Employment data refer to persons on establishment payrolls who received pay for any part of the pay period containing the 12th day of 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, the National Security Agency, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, and the Defense Intelligence Agency are also excluded. Persons on establishment payrolls who are on paid sick leave (for cases in which pay is received directly from the firm), paid holiday, or vacation leave, or who work during part of the pay period despite being 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 had been hired but had not yet reported during to their new jobs. Beginning with the June 2003 publication of May 2003 data, the CES national federal government employment series has been estimated from a sample of federal establishments and benchmarked annually to counts from unemployment insurance tax records. It reflects employee counts as of the pay period containing the 12th day of the month, which is consistent with other CES industry series. Previously, the national series was an end-of-month count produced by the Office of Personnel Management. The exclusion of farm employment, self-employment, and domestic service employment accounts from the payroll survey accounts for the differences in employment figures between the household and payroll surveys. The payroll survey also excludes workers on leave without pay. (These workers are counted as employed in the household survey.) Persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period are counted each time their names appear on payrolls; these persons are only counted once in the household survey. Production and related workers. This category includes working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders and trainees) engaged in fabri-

CHAPTER 2: EMPLOYMENT, HOURS, AND EARNINGS 163

cating, 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 (such as a power plant), record keeping, and other services closely associated with production operations. Construction workers. This group includes the following employees in the construction division: working supervisors, qualified craft workers, mechanics, apprentices, helpers, and laborers engaged in new work, alterations, demolition, repair, maintenance, and the like, whether working at the site of construction or at jobs in shops or yards at jobs (such as precutting and pre-assembling) ordinarily performed by members of the construction trades. Nonsupervisory workers. This category consists of employees 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. It excludes persons in executive, managerial, and supervisory positions. Payroll. This refers to payments made to full- and parttime production, construction, or nonsupervisory workers who received pay for any part of the pay period containing the 12th day of the month. The payroll is reported before deductions of any kind, such as those for old age and unemployment insurance, group insurance, withholding tax, bonds, or union dues. Also included is pay for overtime, holidays, and vacation, as well as for 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 (such as 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 and contributions to retirement, as paid by the employer) are also excluded. Total hours. During the pay period, total hours include all hours worked (including overtime hours), hours paid for standby or reporting time, and equivalent hours for which employees received pay directly from the employer for sick leave, holidays, vacations, and other leave. Overtime and other premium pay hours are not converted to straight-time equivalent hours. The concept of total hours differs from those of scheduled hours and hours worked. The average weekly hours derived from paid total hours reflect the effects of such factors as unpaid absenteeism, labor turnover, part-time work, and work stoppages, as well as fluctuations in work schedules. 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 total workweek. 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 work stoppages cause average weekly hours to be lower than scheduled hours of work for an establishment. Group averages further reflect changes in the workweeks of component industries. Industry hours and earnings. Average hours and earnings data are derived from reports of payrolls and hours for production and related workers in manufacturing and natural resources and mining, construction workers in construction, and nonsupervisory employees in private service-providing industries. All dollar amounts refer to current dollars unless otherwise specified. Indexes of aggregate weekly hours and payrolls. The indexes of aggregate weekly hours are calculated by dividing the current month’s aggregate by the average of the 12 monthly figures 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. The indexes of aggregate weekly payrolls are calculated by dividing the current month’s aggregate by the average of the 12 monthly figures for 1982. For basic industries, the payroll aggregates are the product of average hourly earnings and aggregate weekly hours. At all higher levels of industry aggregation, payroll aggregates are the sum of the component aggregates. Average overtime hours. Overtime hours represent the portion of average weekly hours that exceeded regular hours and for which overtime premiums were paid. If an employee worked during 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. Since overtime hours are premium hours by definition, weekly hours and overtime hours do not necessarily move in the same direction from month to month. Factors such 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 may also be caused by a marked change in hours for a component industry in which 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

164 HANDBOOK OF U.S. LABOR STATISTICS (BERNAN PRESS)

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.

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.

Averages of hourly earnings differ from wage rates. Earnings are the actual return to the worker for a stated period; 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 because the following items are excluded: irregular bonuses, retroactive items, payroll taxes paid by employers, and earnings for those employees not covered under the definitions of production workers, construction workers, or nonsupervisory employees.

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

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 pay, late-shift premiums, and overtime rates other than time and one-half. 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 factors, such as the proportion of part-time workers, work stoppages, 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-

Future Plans BLS is planning several changes to the CES survey to improve its relevance to the needs of data users, and enhance its value as an input to other key economic statistics. The planned improvements to the CES survey are new data on the hours and regular earnings of all employees, and new data on total earnings—both regular and irregular pay—for all employees. Publication of the CES series on women workers, which was discontinued to accommodate these improvements, resumed in September 2006 with estimates for the missing period. BLS plans to discontinue the production and nonsupervisory worker hours and earnings series after the new allemployee hours and earning series are well established.

While weekly earnings of production workers rose 2.9 percent from 2004, real earnings declined 0.6 percent as consumer prices rose 3.4 percent. Real earnings in 2005 were the same as in 2000. (See Table 2-17.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Natural resources was the only industry with a significant gain in real weekly earnings in 2005. However, it employed less than 1 percent of all workers. The education and health services industry, which employed 13 percent of all workers, increased 0.5 percent in 2005. (See Table 2-17.) • Weekly earnings in current dollars ranged from $235.29 in leisure and hospitality to $1,097.16 in utilities in 2005. Wages in goods-producing industries were 38.7 percent higher than in private serviceproviding industries. (See Table 2-17.) • Within manufacturing, the highest average weekly earnings were $1,117.94 in petroleum and coal products, followed by $938.37 in transportation equipment. (See Table 2-18.) • In 2004, the District of Columbia had the highest average annual pay for all workers at $63,887. This was 62 percent above the national average, most likely due to the lack of production workers in the district. Industries with high pay included mining, utilities, and financial activities. (See Tables 2-21 and 2-22.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS QUARTERLY CENSUS OF EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES The Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) program, also referred to as the ES-202 program, is a cooperative endeavor of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the State Employment Security Agencies (SESAs). Using quarterly data submitted by the agencies, BLS summarizes the employment and wage data for workers covered by state unemployment insurance laws and civilian workers covered by the Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program. The QCEW tables use the 2002 version of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) as the basis for the assignment and tabulation of economic data by industry. The structure of NAICS is significantly different than that of the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system, which was previously used for industry classification purposes. Due to these differences, results in NAICS-based data are not directly comparable with historical SIC-based data. The NAICS classification system was described in the sixth edition of this Handbook and more information about NAICS can be found on the BLS Web site at . The QCEW data series is the most complete universe of employment and wage information by industry, county, and state. These data serve as the basic source of benchmark information for employment by industry in the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, which is described in the first section of notes in this chapter. Therefore, the entire employment series is not presented here. The wage series is presented because the CES only provides earnings only for production and nonsupervisory employees. The QCEW is more comprehensive. BLS aggregates the data by industry and ownership; these aggregations are available at the national, state, county, and metropolitan statistical area (MSA) levels. Collection and Coverage Employment data under the QCEW program represent the number of covered workers who worked during (or received pay for) the pay period containing the 12th of the month. Excluded are members of the armed forces, the self-employed, proprietors, domestic workers, unpaid family workers, and railroad workers covered by the railroad unemployment insurance system. Annual pay data are compiled from reports submitted by employers subject to state and federal unemployment

insurance (UI) laws, covering approximately 130 million full- and part-time workers. Average annual pay is computed by dividing total annual payrolls of employees covered by UI programs by the average monthly number of these employees. Pay differences among states reflect the varying composition of employment by occupation, industry, hours of work, and other factors, and pay differences among industries are similarly affected. For example, the relatively large share of part-time workers reduces average annual pay levels in retail trade industries. Correspondingly, pay levels in construction industries reflect the prevalence of part-year employment due to weather and seasonal factors. Over-the-year pay changes may reflect shifts in the composition of employment, as well as changes in the average level of pay. Total wages, for purposes of the quarterly UI reports submitted by private industry employers in private industry in most states, include gross wages and salaries, bonuses, stock options, tips and other gratuities, and the value of meals and lodging (when supplied). In some of the states, employer contributions to certain deferred compensation plans, such as 401(k) plans, are included in total wages. Total wages, however, do not include employer contributions to Old Age, Survivors’, and Disability Insurance (OASDI), health insurance, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, and private pension and welfare funds. In most states, firms report the total wages paid during the calendar quarter, regardless of the timing of the services performed. However, under the laws of a few states, the employers report total wages earned during the quarter (payable) rather than actual amounts paid. For federal workers, wages represent the gross amount of all payrolls for all pay periods paid within the quarter. This gross amount includes cash allowances and the cash equivalent of any type of remuneration. It includes all lump-sum payments for terminal leave, withholding taxes, and retirement deductions. Federal employee remuneration generally covers the same types of services as those for workers in private industry. Sources of Additional Information Additional information and the sub-national data are available in the annual BLS bulletin, Employment and Wages, Annual Averages, which can be found on the BLS Web site at .

Private sector business establishments gained about 7.82 million gross jobs in the fourth quarter of 2005, 237,000 fewer jobs than in the third quarter. However, job losses were also lower than the previous quarter, resulting in a net change (the difference between gross job gains and gross job losses) of 551,000. Although substantial, this net change contained more than 300,000 fewer jobs than the net change posted in the fourth quarter of 2004. Gross job gains and losses demonstrate that a sizable number of jobs appear and disappear within the short time from of one quarter. (See Table 2-23.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • During the fourth quarter of 2005, expanding establishments added 6.3 million jobs while opening establishments added another 1.5 million jobs. Gross job losses were 7.3 million, somewhat less than the third quarter for 2005 but about the same as the fourth quarter of 2004. Job losses due to closing establishments were 1.4 million, fewer than in the fourth quarter of 2004. (See Table 2-23.) • In the fourth quarter of 2005, gross jobs gains represented 7.1 percent of private sector employment, a smaller proportion than in the third quarter of 2005. Gross jobs losses were at a low of 6.5 percent. (See Table 2-24.) • The manufacturing sector had a small net job gain in the fourth quarter of 2005, after experiencing net losses for the previous four quarters. Service-providing industries contributed about 78 percent of the total net job gain. (See Table 2-25.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS BUSINESS EMPLOYMENT DYNAMICS (BED) The Business Employment Dynamics (BED) data are a product of a federal-state cooperative program known as the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW), or the ES-202 program. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) compiles the BED data from existing quarterly state unemployment insurance (UI) records. Most employers in the United States are required to file quarterly reports on the employment and wages of workers covered by UI laws and to pay quarterly UI taxes. The quarterly UI reports are sent by the State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) to BLS. These reports form the basis of the BLS establishment universe-sampling frame. In the BED program, the quarterly UI records are linked across quarters to provide a longitudinal history for each establishment. The linkage process allows the tracking of net employment changes at the establishment level, which in turn allows estimations of jobs gained at opening and expanding establishments and of jobs lost at closing and contracting establishments. BLS publishes three different establishment-based employment measures for every given quarter. Each of these measures—the Current Employment Statistics (CES) survey, the QCEW program, and the BED data each make use of the quarterly UI employment reports. However, each measure has somewhat different types of universal coverage, estimation procedures, and publication products. (See the notes and corresponding tables for CES and QCEW in earlier sections of this chapter.) Concepts and Definitions The BED data measure the net change in employment at the establishment level. These changes can come about in four different ways. A net increase in employment can come from either opening establishments or expanding establishments. A net decrease in employment can come

from either closing establishments or contracting establishments. Gross job gains include the sum of all jobs added at either opening or expanding establishments. Gross job losses include the sum of all jobs lost in either closing or contracting establishments. The net change in employment is the difference between gross job gains and gross job losses. Openings consist of establishments with positive thirdmonth employment for the first time in the current quarter, with no links to the prior quarter, or with positive third-month employment in the current quarter, following zero employment in the previous quarter. Expansions include establishments with positive employment in the third month in both the previous and current quarters, with a net increase in employment over this period. Closings consist of establishments with positive thirdmonth employment in the previous quarter, with no employment or zero employment reported in the current quarter. Contractions include establishments with positive employment in the third month in both the previous and current quarters, with a net decrease in employment over this period. Sources of Additional Information For additional information, see BLS news release 06-1562, “Business Employment Dynamics: Fourth Quarter 2005.” An extensive article on the BED data appeared in the April 2004 edition of the Monthly Labor Review. These resources can be found on the BLS Web site at .

Percent of Total Employment and Mean Hourly Wages of Selected Major Occupational Groups, May 2005

Office and administrative support

Major occupational group Mean hourly wage

Percent of total employment

The distribution of employment and wages in occupations changed little between 2004 and 2005. Office and administrative support occupations continued to employ the largest percentage of workers in any major group (17.5 percent), while mean hourly wages for this occupational group remained relatively low at $14.28 per hour—more than 27 percent less than average. In contrast, management occupations employed only 4.6 percent of total workers, but workers in this occupational group earned a mean hourly wage of $42.52. (See Table 3-1.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • The gap between the earnings of management, the highest-paid major occupational group, and food preparation and serving, the lowest-paid major occupational group, continued to grow. Management earned 4.96 times as much as food preparation and serving in 2005 compared to 4.88 times as much (as food preparation and serving) in 2004. (See Table 3-1.) • Other low-wage occupational groups were farming, fishing, and forestry; building and grounds cleaning and maintenance; and personal care and service. At least 38 percent of the workers in each of these groups earned less than $8.50 per hour in May 2005. (See Table 3-2.) • Specialist physicians and dentists accounted for 12 of the 14 highest-paid detailed occupations in May 2005. Surgeons had the highest mean annual wages at $177,690. (See Table 3-3.) • Among occupations with more than 2 million workers, registered nurses earned the most at $27.35 an hour in May 2005. (See Table 3-3.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS Collection and Coverage The Occupational Employment Statistics (OES) survey is a federal-state cooperative program conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the State Workforce Agencies (SWAs). The OES survey provides estimates of employment and hourly and annual wages for wage and salary workers in 22 major occupational groups and 801 detailed occupations. BLS funds the survey and provides procedural and technical support, while the SWAs collect the necessary data. Scope of the Survey In 1999, the OES survey began using the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system. The SOC system is the first Office of Management and Budget (OMB)–required occupational classification system for federal agencies. The SOC system consists of 821 detailed occupations grouped into 449 broad occupations, 96 minor occupational groups, and 23 major occupational groups. The OES survey uses 22 of the 23 major occupational groups from the SOC to categorize workers into 801 detailed occupations. Military-specific occupations, which are not covered by the OES survey, are not included. Prior to 2002, the OES survey was conducted annually by mail and measured occupational employment and occupational wage rates for wage and salary workers in nonfarm establishments by industry. The survey sampled and contacted approximately 400,000 establishments in the fourth quarter of each year. Beginning in November 2002, the OES survey became a semi-annual survey that sampled approximately 200,000 establishments per panel. The OES also switched from the Standard Industrial Classification System (SIC) to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) in 2002. More information about NAICS can be found on the BLS Web site at . The May 2005 OES estimates are benchmarked to the average of the May 2005 and November 2004 reference periods. May 2005 employment and wage estimates are based on all data collected from establishments in May 2005, November 2004, May 2004, November 2003, May 2003, and November 2002 semi-annual samples. Over the course of a 3-year cycle, approximately 1.2 million establishments are sampled. Concepts and Definitions Employment is the estimate of total wage and salary employment in an occupation across the industries in which it was reported. The OES survey defines employment as the number of workers who can be classified as full-time or part-time employees, including workers on paid vacations or other types of leave; workers on unpaid short-term absences ; employees who are salaried officers,

executives, or staff members of incorporated firms; employees temporarily assigned to other units; and employees for whom the reporting unit is their permanent duty station, regardless of whether that unit prepares their paycheck. Self-employed owners, partners in unincorporated firms, household workers, and unpaid family workers are excluded. Occupations are classified based on work performed and on required skills. Employees are assigned to an occupation based on the work they perform and not on their education or training. For example, an employee trained as an engineer but working as a drafter is reported as a drafter. Employees who perform the duties of two or more occupations are reported as being in either the occupation that requires the highest level of skill or the occupation in which the most time is spent (if there is no measurable difference in skill requirements). The OES survey form sent to an establishment contains between 50 and 225 SOC occupations selected on the basis of the industry classification and size class of the sampled establishment. To reduce paperwork and respondent burden, no survey form contains every SOC occupation. Data for specific occupations are thus primarily collected from establishments within the industries that are the predominant employers of labor for these occupations. However, each survey form is structured to allow a respondent to provide information for each detailed occupation at the establishment; unlisted occupations can be added to the survey form. Wages are money that is paid or received for work or services performed in a specified period. Base rate, cost-of-living allowances, guaranteed pay, hazardous-duty pay, incentive pay (including commissions and production bonuses), tips, and on-call pay are included. Excluded are back pay, jury duty pay, overtime pay, severance pay, shift differentials, nonproduction bonuses, employer cost of supplementary benefits, and tuition reimbursements. Mean wage refers to an average wage; an occupational mean wage estimate is calculated by summing the wages of all the employees in a given occupation and then dividing the total wages by the number of employees. An establishment is defined as an economic unit that processes goods or provides services, such as a factory, store, or mine. The establishment is generally at a single physical location and is primarily engaged in one type of economic activity.

wages have been calculated by multiplying the hourly mean wage by a "year-round, full-time" hours figure of 2,080 hours; for those occupations with no hourly mean wage published, the annual wage has been directly calculated from the reported survey data.

2Hourly wage rates for occupations at which workers typically work fewer than 2,080 hours per year are not available. 3There is a wide variation in the number of hours worked by those employed as actors, dancers, singers, and musicians.

Many jobs are for the duration of 1 day or 1 week, and it is extremely rare for a performer to have guaranteed employment for a period that exceeds 3 to 6 months. Therefore, only hourly wages are available for these occupations. hourly wage is equal to or greater than $70.00 per hour.

CHAPTER FOUR LABOR FORCE AND EMPLOYMENT PROJECTIONS BY INDUSTRY AND OCCUPATION

LABOR FORCE AND EMPLOYMENT PROJECTIONS BY INDUSTRY AND OCCUPATION HIGHLIGHTS Every two years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) develops decade-long projections for industry output, employment, and occupations. This chapter presents the employment outlook for the 2004–2014 period. The projections are based on a set of explicit assumptions and an application of a model of economic relationships.

Age 1994–2004

2004–2014

The total labor force is projected to grow by 10 percent (1 percentage point per year) between 2004 and 2014, a decrease of 2.5 percent (0.25 percentage points per year) from the 1994–2004 period. As the baby boomers age, the number of workers age 55 years and over in the civilian labor force will grow by a significant 49 percent. An increase is also predicted for the 25- to 54-year-old age group, but a decline is projected for the 35- to 44-year-old age group. The share of 16- to 24-year-old workers in the labor force is also expected to decline. (See Table 4-1.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • The proportion of men in the labor force is expected to continue to decline slightly, with a drop from 53.6 percent in 2004 to 53.2 percent in 2014. The female labor force is projected to increase a small amount, rising from 68,421 in 2004 to 75,906 in 2014. (See Table 4-1.) • The Hispanic labor force is expected to rise rapidly during the 2004–2014 period, with a projected growth of 33.7 percent (3.37 percent per year)—a sizeable difference over the total labor force growth of 10.0 percent. However, this growth is not nearly as dramatic as the increase during the 1994–2004 period when it increased 60.9 percent. (See Table 4-1.) • The Asian labor force, while relatively small in number, is also projected to experience a rapid increase, rising by 32.4 percent during the 2004–2014 period. (See Table 4-1.) • The Black labor force is expected to grow at a faster-than-average rate of 16.8 percent, while the White labor force is expected to grow at a rate of only 7.3 percent during the 2004-2014 period. (See Table 4-1.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS Concepts, Definitions, and Procedures The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) employment projections are carried out as a staged set of methodologies that move from the determination of labor supply and aggregate economic activity to the determination of jobs at a detailed industry level, and to the demand for specific occupations within each of the detailed industries. The following notes include a general discussion of the methods used; greater detail on the projection techniques is presented in the BLS Handbook of Methods. The labor force projections are a function of two components—projections of the population and projections of labor force participation rates. Population projections are provided by the Census Bureau for detailed age, sex, race, and ethnicity groupings. BLS extrapolates participation rates for these same categories by applying well-specified smoothing and time series techniques to historical time series for the detailed participation rates. The extrapolation results are multiplied by the projected population to arrive at initial estimates of the labor force categories. Both the participation rate and the labor force projections are carefully examined by BLS senior staff to ensure that relationships among the various categories do not change in unexplained ways over the forecast horizon. The total of all the categories in the labor force is used as one of the critical demographic assumptions in the next stage of the projections: the determination of aggregate economic activity. The aggregate economic projections are carried out using the quarterly model of the U.S. economy produced by Macroeconomic Advisers, LLC (MA). MA is a team of economists based in St. Louis, MO, that provides monthly short-term forecasts of the U.S. economy, as well as quarterly long-term projections. The MA macroeconomic model comprises 609 variables that are descriptive of the aggregate U.S. economy. Of these variables, 160 are determined by stochastic behavioral relationships, 280 are identities, and 169 are exogenous variables determined outside the model. In order to use the MA model, quarterly estimates of the exogenous variables must be provided to the model over the forecast horizon. The model is then solved for the 440 behavioral and identity variables, and the results are evaluated for meaningfulness and acceptability. The industry projections involve two primary tasks. The first is to translate the gross domestic product (GDP) categories from the aggregate economic model into a detailed commodity-by-category matrix. This redistribution of GDP, carried out using an eclectic grouping of models, techniques, and expert judgments, provides the demand component of an interindustry model of the U.S. economy. Approximately 200 commodities and 160 categories of demand are identified for this exercise. The second task is to derive input-output tables for the projection

year, which when combined with the final demand matrix, yield estimates of both commodity and industry total output necessary to produce that level of GDP. Industry total output, also referred to as gross duplicated output, combines industry sales to final users with sales to intermediate users (other industries) in the economy and is the primary determinant of the factors of production (labor and capital) necessary to produce that total output. The determination of detailed employment estimates begins with the specification of a production function for each of the 200 industries for which employment estimates are carried out. The production function is solved for the labor input component, and the resulting set of equations determines total hours paid as a function of industry output, sector wage rates, the unemployment rate, and a trend variable standing in as a proxy for technological change. A separate set of trend equations is estimated for industryspecific measures of average annual hours. Dividing hours paid by average hours yields a count of jobs by industry. The final stage of the industry employment projections process is to extrapolate the 200 industries to a full, 4-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) level of detail (about 310 industries) for input to occupational demand. The occupational projections also involve two basic tasks. The first is to extrapolate the latest historical industry-by occupation staffing pattern matrix to the projection year. A staffing pattern matrix presents the proportional distribution of detailed occupations within each of the 310 4-digit NAICS industries. Analysts must determine whether each occupational ratio should remain unchanged, increase, or decrease relative to all the other ratios within a given industry. Straightforward balancing procedures are applied to ensure that the changed ratios still account for exactly 100 percent of industry employment. The projected industry employments from the previous step are then applied to the projected staffing pattern matrix and result in estimates of new job growth for about 700 detailed occupations. Estimates of job growth for the selfemployed are carried out as a separate step. In addition to the job growth estimates, analysts must also carry out estimates of replacement demand for individuals who have died, retired, or moved on to other occupations during the intervening decade. These estimates are based on relationships derived from the Current Population Survey, which is based on household employment behavior. In terms of occupational job opportunities, replacement demand often exceeds new job growth; thus, basing the analysis on measurements of new jobs alone could seriously underestimate job opportunities for many occupations. A detailed review process is carried out during this entire process. Review feedback can affect occupational ratios,

CHAPTER 4: LABOR FORCE AND EMPLOYMENT PROJECTIONS BY INDUSTRY AND OCCUPATION 223

industry outputs, and/or employment totals; it could even impose changes at the aggregate level of detail. The purpose of the detailed review process is to derive a set of estimates which are consistent at all levels of detail, from the aggregate level to the most detailed occupational level. The ultimate review, of course, occurs when historical data finally overtakes the projected years. BLS has been carrying out and publishing these types of reviews since the 1970 projections. It has pointed the way toward improvements in the process and has allowed users to determine for themselves the places where weak points might impact their use of the projections.

Sources of Additional Information A complete presentation of the projections, including analysis of results and additional tables and a comprehensive description of the methodology, can be found in the November 2005 edition of the Monthly Labor Review. A more detailed description of methods can be found in Chapter 13 of the BLS Handbook of Methods and in the 2006–2007 edition of Occupational Projections and Training Data.An article assessing labor force projections appeared in October 2003 edition of the Monthly Labor Review.All of these resources are available on the BLS Web site at .

Seven of the ten fastest-growing occupations are in the health field, while only three are directly associated with computers. However, many of these fastest-growing occupations are relatively small, with total employment ranging from 59,000 to 700,000 workers. (See Table 4-2.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • The fastest-growing occupations do not necessarily provide the largest number of additional jobs. While employment in the fastest-growing occupations was relatively small in 2004, employment in the five largest-growing occupations ranged from 1.6 million to 4.3 million workers. Only one occupation was connected to health care and no occupations were directly related to computers. The occupations with the most employees in 2004 were retail sales and office administration. (See Table 4-3.) • Of the ten occupations with the largest job growth in 2004, only two required a bachelor’s degree or higher. Five were in the lowest quartile rank of median earnings. Meanwhile, of the ten fastestgrowing occupations, four required a bachelor’s degree or higher and only two were in the very low earnings group. (See Tables 4-2 and 4-3.) • In 2014, 46 percent of the projected job openings will require a high school diploma and some college education. (See Table 4-5.) • Total job openings result from growth and net replacements. Of the 54.7 million job openings expected in 2014, only about one-third will be from growth; the rest will be derived from replacements. (See Table 4-7.) • While computer and peripheral equipment manufacturing is projected to have the largest output growth from 2004 to 2014, it is not expected to be a source of employment growth. Employment in computer manufacturing is predicted to decline. (See Tables 4-4 and 4-6.) • The industries expected to have the largest employment growth from 2004 to 2014 are health care and social assistance, administrative and support services, and state and local government. (See Table 4-6.)

Note: A high school occupation is defined as an occupation in which the percentage of employees age 25 to 44 years with high school as their highest level of educational attainment is greater than or equal to 60 percent, and the percentage of those with some college or a bachelor’s degree or more are each less than 20 percent. Occupations requiring some college and college occupations are similarly defined. (That is, the definitions are identical to that of a high school occupation, except that the terms some college and high school, in the one case, and college and high school, in the other, are interchanged.) Three "mixture" occupations are also defined. An occupation requiring high school/some college is defined as an occupation in which the percentages of those with a high school diploma or some college as their highest level of educational attainment are each greater than or equal to 20 percent, while the percentage with a bachelor’s degree or more is less than 20 percent. Occupations described as some college/college are similarly defined. (That is, the terms some college and college replace high school and some college, respectively.) High school/some college/college occupations are defined as occupations in which 20 or more percent of employees have an education level of high school, some college, or college. Data may not sum to totals or 100 percent, due to rounding. 1Total

job openings are given by the sum of net employment increases and net replacements. If employment change is negative, job openings due to growth are zero and total job openings equal net replacements.

CHAPTER FIVE PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS

PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS HIGHLIGHTS This chapter covers two kinds of productivity measures produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS): output per hour (or labor productivity) and multifactor productivity. Multifactor productivity is designed to ensure the joint influence of technological change, efficiency improvements, returns to scale, and other factors on economic growth. For some measures, there is a lag in the available data. Industry data are based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Indexes of Productivity (Manufacturing), 1995–2005

In 2005, output in the business sector rose 3.8 percent, a slower rate than in 2004. Hours also rose, leading to a slower increase in output per hour (2.3 percent, compared to 3.1 percent in 2004). In manufacturing, output rose more quickly than it did during the previous year and hours continued the downward trend that began in 1998. This resulted in a substantial rise of 4.1 percent in output per hour. (See Table 5-1.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • In 2005, unit labor costs in the business sector rose almost 3 times as fast as it did during the previous year (2.0 percent versus 0.7 percent). In manufacturing, unit labor costs increased 0.5 percent after increasing just 0.1 percent during the previous year. (See Table 5-1.) • Wholesale trade had only a small increase in output per hour, as output increased slightly faster than hours from 2004 to 2005. (See Table 5-3.) • Retail trade had a 3.4 percent increase in output per hour, as output increased at a much faster rate than hours from 2004 to 2005. (See Table 5-3.) • The increase in multifactor productivity in private nonfarm business was higher in 2004 than in the previous year as a result of a larger increase in output per unit of capital as well as an increase in output per hour. (See Table 5-4.)

252 HANDBOOK OF U.S. LABOR STATISTICS (BERNAN PRESS)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS Concepts and Definitions Output per hour for the business, nonfarm business, and manufacturing sectors describes the relationship between real output and the labor time involved in production. The output measures for the business sectors and nonfinancial corporations are based on series prepared by the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce as part of the national income and product accounts (NIPAs). The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) derives manufacturing output indexes by combining data from the Census Bureau, BEA, and the Federal Reserve Board. All of the output measures are chain-type annualweighted indexes. This means that the relative prices (weights) used to combine output changes into an aggregate output measure are revised annually, thus minimizing the bias that arises from using fixed weights over long periods of time. Business sector output is constructed by excluding the following outputs from gross domestic product (GDP): general government, nonprofit institutions, paid employees of private households, and the rental value of owner-occupied dwellings. Corresponding exclusions are also made in labor inputs. These activities are excluded because theoretical or practical difficulties make it impossible to use them as a basis for the computation of meaningful productivity measures. Business output accounted for about 78 percent of GDP and nonfarm business output accounted for about 77 percent of GDP in 2000. Manufacturing indexes are constructed by deflating current-dollar industry value of production data from the Census Bureau with deflators from BLS. These deflators are based on data from the BLS producer price program and other sources. To avoid duplication, intrasector transactions are removed when industry shipments are aggregated. Productivity measures show the changes from period to period in the amount of goods and services produced per hour. Although these measures relate output to hours of persons engaged in a sector, they do not measure the specific contributions of labor, capital, or any other factor of production. Rather, they reflect the joint effects of many influences, including changes in technology, capital, economies of scale, utilization of capacity, the substitution of capital or intermediates for labor, the organization of production, managerial skill, and the characteristics and effort of the work force. Labor input measures are based mainly on the monthly BLS survey of nonagricultural establishments. Measures of employment and average weekly hours paid for employees of these establishments are drawn from this survey. Weekly hours paid are adjusted to hours at work using information from the National Compensation Survey program for 2000 onward and the annual Hours at Work Survey for years prior to 2000. (The Hours at Work

Survey was terminated in 2000.) Supplementary information for farm workers, the self-employed, and unpaid family workers is obtained from the Current Population Survey, the monthly survey of households conducted by the Census Bureau for BLS. The indexes of hourly compensation are based mainly on the BLS hours data, discussed above, and employee compensation data from the NIPAs. Compensation includes wages and salaries and supplemental payments such as employer contributions to Social Security and private health and pension funds. The all persons’ compensation data include estimates of proprietors’ salaries and contributions for supplementary benefits. Real compensation per hour is derived by adjusting the compensation data with the Consumer Price Index Research Series Using Current Methods (CPI-U-RS) in order to reflect changes in purchasing power. (See Chapter 7 for more information on the CPI-U-RS.) The indexes of unit labor costs are computed by dividing compensation per hour by output per hour. Nonlabor payments are calculated by subtracting total compensation from current dollar output and thus include profits, depreciation, interest, and indirect taxes. The implicit deflator reflects changes in all of the costs of production and distribution (unit labor costs plus unit nonlabor payments). To construct the implicit price deflator, the current-dollar measure of output in a sector is divided by the real output series. Output Per Hour and Related Series in Selected Industries The BLS industry productivity program produces annual indexes of labor productivity, labor compensation, and unit labor costs for selected 4-, 5-, and 6-digit North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) industries. These data series cover 60 percent of employment in the private nonfarm business sector and 100 percent of employment in the manufacturing, retail trade, and wholesale trade sectors. The data sources used in the industry measures differ from those used in the productivity and cost measures for the major sectors. Output per hour indexes are obtained by dividing an output index by an index of aggregate hours. Although the measures relate output to one input (labor time), they do not measure the specific contribution of labor or any other factor of production. Rather, they reflect the joint effect of a number of interrelated influences, such as changes in technology, capital investment per worker, and capacity utilization. Caution is necessary when analyzing year-toyear changes in output per hour; the annual changes can be irregular and are not necessarily indicative of long-term

CHAPTER 5: PRODUCTIVITY AND COSTS 253

trends. Conversely, long-term trends are not necessarily applicable to any one year or period in the future. An output index for a particular industry is calculated using the Tornqvist index formula that aggregates the growth rates of the industry products between two periods of time, with weights based on the products’ shares in industry value of production. The weight for each product equals its average value share in the two periods. The formula yields the ratio of output in a given period to output in the previous period. The ratios for successive years must be chained together to form a time series. The quantities of products used in the output index are measured with either deflated values of production or actual quantities. Indexes of labor input are employee hours indexes or all person hours indexes. In manufacturing industries, employee hours are used. In nonmanufacturing industries where self-employed workers play a significant role, all person hours are used. For most industries, the hours series are based on hours paid. Total hours are calculated by multiplying the number of workers by average weekly hours. Employee hours are treated as homogenous and additive, with no distinction made between the hours worked by different groups. Annual indexes are developed by dividing the aggregate hours for each year by the base period aggregate. Indexes of unit labor costs are calculated as the ratio of total labor compensation to real output, or equivalently as the ratio of hourly compensation to labor productivity (output per hour). Unit labor costs measure the cost of labor input required to produce one unit of output. Indexes of total compensation measure the change in the total costs to the employer of securing labor. Compensation is defined as payroll plus supplemental payments. Payroll includes salaries, wages, commissions, dismissal pay, bonuses, vacation and sick-leave pay, and compensation-in-kind. Supplemental payments are divided into legally required expenditures and payments for voluntary programs. The legally required expenditures include employers’ contributions to Social Security, unemployment insurance taxes, and workers’ compensation. Payments for voluntary programs include all programs not specifically required by legislation, such as the employer portion of private health insurance and pension plans.

Multifactor productivity measures refer to the ratio of an output index to an index of combined labor and capital services inputs. These measures are produced for the private business and private nonfarm business sectors for which multifactor productivity indexes are prepared exclude government enterprises. Multifactor productivity growth reflects the amount of output growth that cannot be accounted for by the growth of weighted labor and capital inputs. The weights are associated cost shares. Labor’s share is the ratio of compensation to current-dollar output. Capital’s share is equal to the ratio of capital cost to current-dollar output. As with the output measures, the multifactor productivity growth weights are updated annually. Capital services measure the services derived from the stock of physical assets and software. Physical assets included are fixed business equipment, structures, inventories, and land. Structures include nonresidential structures and residential capital that is rented out by profitmaking firms or persons. Software includes prepackaged, custom, and own-account software. Financial assets are excluded, as are owner-occupied residential structures. Data on investments in physical assets and gross product originating by industry, which are used in measuring the rental prices, are obtained from BEA. Labor input in private business and private nonfarm business is obtained by weighting the hours worked by all persons, classified by education, work experience, gender, and their shares of labor compensation. Additional information concerning data sources and methods of measuring labor composition can be found in BLS Bulletin 2426 (December 1993), “Labor Composition and U.S. Productivity Growth, 1948-90.” The manufacturing multifactor productivity index is derived by dividing an output index by a weighted index of combined hours, capital services, energy, materials, and purchased business services. Weights (shares of total costs) are updated annually. The labor hours for the manufacturing measure are directly added and thus do not include the effect of changing labor composition, unlike those used for business multifactor productivity. The manufacturing sector coverage is the same in both the multifactor and the labor productivity series.

Multifactor Productivity Sources of Additional Information BLS calculates the annual growth of multifactor productivity for the U.S. private business sector. This measure is generally released about 14 months after the end of the measured, or target, year. The lag occurs because the process of calculating multifactor productivity requires detailed data from many sources. BLS uses a simplified methodology to make preliminary estimates of private business sector multifactor productivity changes available within a few months after the end of target year.

Productivity concepts and methodology are described in Chapters 10 and 11 of the BLS Handbook of Methods. More information on productivity can be found in BLS news release USDL 06-1555, “Productivity and Costs.” Additional information on multifactor productivity can be found in the June 2005 edition of the Monthly Labor Review. All of these resources can be found on the BLS Web site at .

Benefits

In 2005, in a trend that has been occurring since 2000, the ECI reported increases in benefits exceeded increases in wages and salaries. In private industry, wages and salaries rose 2.6 percent in 2005, which was somewhat faster than the rate during the previous year. Benefits increased 4.2 percent, far slower than the rate during the previous year. Wage costs for state and local governments increased 3.1 percent, while benefit costs increased at a rapid rate of 6.0 percent. (See Tables 6-1, 6-3, and 6-4.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Wage increases in most industries hovered between 2 and 3 percent in 2005. Sales occupations experienced the greatest increase at 3.8 percent. Wage increases in hospitals, nursing homes, educational services, and colleges and universities, all exceeded 3 percent. (See Table 6-1.) • In 2005, the rise in benefit costs in the aircraft manufacturing industry (39.9 percent) continued to vastly exceed the increases in any other industry. This rise in benefit costs was also an increase from 2004, when benefits in aircraft manufacturing rose by close to 25 percent. (See Table 6-4.) • Health insurance costs for state and local governments are considerably higher than the costs in private industry—$3.91 cents per hour, compared to $1.72 per hour. (See Tables 6-5 and 6-7.) • Service-providing industries spent $1.54 per hour on health insurance (compared to $2.47 per hour in goods-producing industries) in March 2006, indicating less or no coverage for many workers in the services sector. (See Table 6-5.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS EMPLOYMENT COST INDEX The National Compensation Survey (NCS) provides data for the Employment Cost Index (ECI), the Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC), employee benefits, and occupational wages. In 2005, the NCS classified workers into one of 480 occupations based on job duties. Collection and Coverage The ECI is a quarterly measure of the rate of change in compensation per hour worked and includes wages and salaries and the employer costs of employee benefits. It uses a fixed market basket of labor—similar in concept to the Consumer Price Index’s fixed market basket of goods and services—to measure the change over time in the employer costs of employing labor. Statistical series on total compensation costs, wages and salaries, and benefit costs are available for private nonfarm workers, excluding business proprietors, the selfemployed, and household workers. The total compensation costs and wages and salaries series are also available for state and local government workers and for the civilian nonfarm economy, which consists of private industry and state and local government workers. Federal workers are excluded. The variables included in the ECI probability sample changed from 1990 to 2005. The ECI probability sample for December 2005 consisted of about 11,300 private industry establishments (which provided about 50,400 occupational observations) and from approximately 3,500 occupations within about 800 sample establishments in state and local governments. On average, each reporting unit provided wage and compensation information on five well-specified occupations. These occupations were defined narrowly enough to ensure that all workers in the job carried out the same task at roughly the same level of skill. Data were collected each quarter for the pay periods that contained the 12th days of March, June, September, and December. From June 1986 to March 1995, fixed employment weights from the 1980 decennial census were used each quarter to calculate the civilian and private indexes and the index for state and local governments. In March 1995, employment weights from the 1990 decennial census were introduced. Prior to June 1986, the employment weights came from the 1970 decennial census. These fixed weights, also used to derive all of the industry and occupation series indexes,

ensure that changes in these indexes reflect only changes in compensation—not employment shifts among industries or occupations with different levels of wages and compensation. However, for the bargaining status, region, and metropolitan/nonmetropolitan area series, employment data by industry and occupation are not available from the census. Instead, the 1980 employment weights are reallocated quarterly within these series, based on the current sample. Therefore, these indexes are not strictly comparable to indexes for the aggregate, industry, and occupation series. The ECI was converted to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) in 2006. Concepts and Definitions Total compensation costs include wages and salaries, and the employer costs of employee benefits. Wages and salaries consist of earnings before payroll deductions, including production bonuses, incentive earnings, commissions, and cost-of-living adjustments. Benefits include the cost to employers for paid leave, supplemental pay (including nonproduction bonuses), insurance, retirement and savings plans, and legally required benefits such as Social Security, workers’ compensation, and unemployment insurance. Excluded from wages and salaries and employee benefit costs are items such as payment-in-kind, free room and board, and tips. Bonuses. In June 2000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) expanded the definition of nonproduction bonuses in the ECI to better represent the compensation packages offered to employees. In addition to the traditional types of nonproduction bonuses (such as attendance bonuses and lump-sum payments), the ECI will include hiring bonuses and referral bonuses. Hiring bonuses are payments made by the employer to induce an individual to accept employment; referral bonuses are made by the employer to an employee for recommending an applicant who is hired by the establishment. Sources of Additional Information Additional information on ECI methodology and data is available in BLS news releases. BLS’s e-publication, Compensation and Working Conditions, contains articles on all aspects of the NCS. All of these resources are available on the BLS Web site at .

CHAPTER 6: COMPENSATION OF EMPLOYEES 301

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS EMPLOYER COSTS FOR EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION

Survey Scope

The Employer Costs for Employee Compensation (ECEC) measures the average cost per employee hour worked that employers pay for wages and salaries and benefits.

The ECEC consists of data for the civilian economy obtained from both private industry and state and local government. Excluded from private industry are the selfemployed and farm and private household workers. Federal government workers are excluded from the public sector. The private industry series and the state and local government series provide separate data for the two sectors.

Definitions Wages and salaries are defined as the hourly straight-time wage rate or (for workers not paid on an hourly basis) straight-time earnings divided by the corresponding hours. Straight-time wage and salary rates are total earnings before payroll deductions and include production bonuses, incentive earnings, commission payments, and cost-ofliving adjustments. Not included in straight-time earnings are nonproduction bonuses, such as lump-sum payments provided in lieu of wage increases, shift differentials, and premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends and holidays; these payments are included in the benefits component. Benefits include paid leave—vacations, holidays, sick leave, and other leave; supplemental pay—premium pay for work in addition to the regular work schedule (such as overtime, weekends, and holidays), shift differentials, and nonproduction bonuses (such as referral bonuses and attendance bonuses); insurance benefits—life, health, short-term disability, and long-term disability insurance; retirement and savings benefits—defined benefit and defined contribution plans; and legally required benefits— Social Security, Medicare, federal and state unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation. The collection of other benefits, such as severance pay and supplemental unemployment plans, were discontinued with the release of the March 2006 estimates.

The cost levels for March 2006 were collected from a probability sample of about 50,000 occupational observations within approximately 11,300 sample establishments in private industry, and from approximately 3,500 occupations within about 800 sample establishments in state and local governments. Data were collected for the pay periods containing the 12th days of the survey months of March, June, September, and December. Current employment weights are used to calculate cost levels. The March 2006 cost levels were calculated using the March 2006 employment counts from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Current Employment Statistics (CES) program, benchmarked to the March 2005 universe of all private nonfarm establishments. The ECEC was converted to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) in 2004. Sources of Additional Information Additional information may be obtained from BLS news release 06-1049 “Employer Costs for Employee Compensation—March 2006,” and in various articles in the BLS e-publication, Compensation and Working Conditions. These resources are available on the BLS Web site at .

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SURVEY The Employee Benefits Survey is now part of the National Compensation Survey (NCS), which also includes the Employment Cost Index. Collection and Coverage The statistics in this chapter represent the integration of data on employee benefits into the NCS. Prior to 1999, surveys of different sectors of the economy were conducted in alternating years; medium and large private establishments were studied during odd-numbered years, and small private establishments were studied during even-numbered years. Since these surveys have been replaced by the new survey, the tables previously presented in this Handbook have been discontinued. Data for all private workers are now collected annually.

some employees may decline to participate in a health insurance plan if there is an employee cost involved. Survey Scope The 2000 NCS benefits incidence survey obtained data from 1,436 private industry establishments, representing over 107 million workers. Of this total, nearly 86 million were full-time workers; the remainder—nearly 22 million—was made up of part-time workers. The NCS uses the establishment’s definition of full- and part-time status. For purposes of this survey, an establishment is an economic unit that produces goods or services, a central administrative office, or an auxiliary unit providing support services to a company. For private industries, the establishment is usually at a single physical location.

Definitions

Sources of Additional Information

Incidence refers to different methods of computing the number or percentage of employees who receive a benefit plan or specific benefit feature.

For more information, see BLS news release USDL-061482, “Employee Benefits in Private Industry, 2006.” For a listing of selected benefit definitions, see the Glossary of Compensation Terms. Additional data and further information on methodology and sampling are available in BLS Bulletin 2555, “National Compensation Survey: Employee Benefits in Private Industry in the United States, 2000.” These resources are available on the BLS Web site at . The NCS was described in an article in the fifth edition of this Handbook.

Access to a benefit is determined on an occupational basis within an establishment. An employee is considered to have access to a benefit if it is available for his or her use. Participation refers to the proportion of employees covered by a benefit. There will be cases where employees with access to a plan will not participate. For example,

CHAPTER 6: COMPENSATION OF EMPLOYEES 313

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS NATIONAL COMPENSATION SURVEY: OCCUPATIONAL WAGES Collection and Coverage The occupational wages in this section are from the National Compensation Survey (NCS). In 2005, the NCS included 25,723 establishments and represented over 84 million workers. Private sector establishments with one or more workers were included in the survey. State and local governments with 50 or more workers within a survey area were also included. The survey covered goods-producing industries (mining, construction, and manufacturing), service-producing industries (transportation, communications, electric, gas, and sanitary services; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and service industries), and state and local governments. Agriculture, private households, and the federal government were excluded from the scope of the NCS. For the purposes of this survey, an establishment is an economic unit that produces goods or services, a central administrative office, or an auxiliary unit providing support services to a company. For private industries in this survey, the establishment is usually at a single physical location. For state and local governments, an establishment is defined as all locations of a government entity. The geographic scope of the NCS includes all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Identification of the occupations for which wage data were collected for the 2005 NCS was a multistep process: 1. Probability-proportional-to-size selection of establishment jobs 2. Classification of jobs into occupations based on the Census of Population system 3. Characterization of jobs as full time versus part time, union versus nonunion, and time versus incentive 4. Determination of the level of work of each job For each occupation, wage data were collected for workers who met the unique set of characteristics identified in the last three steps. Special procedures were developed for jobs for which a level could not be determined. In step one, the jobs to be sampled were selected at each establishment by a Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) field economist during a personal visit. A complete list of employees was used for sampling, with each selected worker representing a job within the establishment. The second step of the process entailed classifying the selected jobs into occupations based on their duties. A selected job may have been categorized into any one of about 480 occupational classifications.

In step three, certain job characteristics (such as full-time versus part-time employment, time versus incentive pay, and union versus non-union status) were determined. In the last step before wage data were collected, the work level of each selected job was determined using a “point factor leveling” process. Point factor leveling matches certain aspects of a job to specific levels of work with assigned point values. Points for each factor are then totaled to determine the overall work level for the job. Definitions A full-time worker is any employee whom the employer considers to be working full time. A part-time worker is any employee whom the employer considers to be working part time. An incentive worker is any employee whose earnings are tied, at least in part, to commissions, piece rates, production bonuses, or other incentives based on production or sales. A level is a ranking of an occupation based on the requirements of the position. A nonunion worker is any employee in an occupation who does not meet the conditions for union coverage. (See below.) A time-based worker is any employee whose earnings are tied to an hourly rate or salary and not to a specific level of production. A union worker is any employee who works in an unionized occupation and meets all of the following conditions: • A labor organization is recognized as the bargaining agent for all workers in the occupation. • Wage and salary rates are determined through collective bargaining or negotiations. • Settlement terms, which must include earnings provisions and may include benefit provisions, are embodied in a signed, mutually binding collective bargaining agreement. Earnings are defined as regular payments from the employer to the employee as compensation for straighttime hourly work, or for any salaried work performed. The following components were included as part of earnings: • Incentive pay, including commissions, production bonuses, and piece rates • Cost-of-living allowances • Hazard pay • Payments of income deferred due to participation in a salary reduction plan • Deadhead pay, defined as pay given to transportation workers returning in a vehicle without freight or passengers.

314 HANDBOOK OF U.S. LABOR STATISTICS (BERNAN PRESS)

Weighting and Estimation Sample weights were calculated for each establishment and occupation in the survey. These weights reflected the relative size of the occupation within the establishment and of the establishment within the sample universe. Weights were used to aggregate data for the individual establishments or occupations into the various data series. The wage series in the tables are computed by combining the wages for each sampled occupation. Before being

combined, individual wage rates are weighted by the number of workers; the sample weight, adjusted for nonresponding establishments and other factors; and the occupations scheduled hours of work. Sources of Additional Information An extensive description of the steps and additional detailed tables are available in BLS Bulletin 2581, “National Compensation Survey: Occupational Wages in the United States, June 2005,” available on the BLS Web site at .

2This survey covers all 50 states. Data collection was conducted between December 2004 and January 2006. The average reference period was June 2005. 3Employees are classified as working either a full-time or part-time schedule based on the definition used by each establishment. Union workers are those whose

wages are determined through collective bargaining. Wages of time workers are based solely on hourly rate or salary; incentive workers are those whose wages are at least partly based on productivity payments such as piece rates, commissions, and production bonuses. 4A classification system including about 480 individual occupations is used to cover all workers in the civilian economy. 5Classification of establishments into goods-producing and service-producing industries applies to private industry only. 6Estimates include private establishments employing 1 to 99 workers and state and local government establishments employing 50 to 99 workers. 7The states that comprise the Census divisions are: New England—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont; Middle Atlantic—New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania; South Atlantic—Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia; East South Central—Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee; West South Central—Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas; East North Central—Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin; West North Central—Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota; Mountain—Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming; and Pacific—Alaska, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington. 8A metropolitan area can be a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or a Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA), as defined by the Office of Management and Budget in 1994. Nonmetropolitan areas are counties that do not fit the definitions above. . . . = Not available.

CHAPTER SEVEN PRICES

PRICES HIGHLIGHTS This chapter examines the movement of prices, which is one of the most important indicators of the state of the economy. Several indexes are covered: the Producer Price Index (PPI), which gives information about prices received by producers; the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which gives information about prices paid by consumers; and the Import Price Index (MPI) and the Export Price Index (XPI), which give information about prices involved in various foreign trade, export, and import price indexes.

Product price index

The price indexes show the sharp increase in the price of fuel and fuel products from 2004 to 2005. The content of these products in the various indexes may not be identical; however, they essentially refer to petroleum fuel products. (See Tables 7-1, 7-8, and 7-13.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • While a great deal of attention has been paid to energy prices, another important component, materials and components for construction, has increased significantly in the last two years. This value rose 8.3 percent in 2004 and 6.1 percent in 2005. (See Table 7-1.) • In 2005, the PPI for capital equipment continued to grow at a much slower rate (2.3 percent) than the PPI for consumer goods (5.7 percent). (See Table 7-1.) • The PPI for all commodities rose 7.3 percent in 2005. Since 1999, it has increased 25.4 percent. However, from 1994 to 1999, it only increased 4.2 percent. (See Table 7-2.) • While prices of imported commodities rose 8 percent between December 2004 and December 2005, petroleum products rose 42.8 percent and natural and manufactured gas rose 50.2 percent. (See Table 7-13.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS PRODUCER PRICE INDEX

includes producer durable goods, such as heavy motor trucks, tractors, and machine tools.

Collection and Coverage The Producer Price Index (PPI) measures average changes in prices received by domestic producers of goods and services. Most of the information used in calculating the indexes is obtained through the systematic sampling of nearly every industry in the manufacturing and mining sectors of the economy. The PPI program also includes data from other sectors, including agriculture, fishing, and forestry; services; and gas and electricity. As producer price indexes are designed to measure only the change in prices received for the output of domestic industries, imports are not included. The sample currently contains about 80,000 price quotations per month. Producer price indexes are based on selling prices reported by establishments of all sizes as selected by probability sampling, with the probability of selection proportional to size. Individual items and transaction terms from these firms are also chosen by probability proportionate to size. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) strongly encourages cooperating companies to supply actual transaction prices at the time of shipment to minimize the use of list prices. Prices are normally reported monthly by mail questionnaire for the Tuesday of the week containing the 13th of the month Price data are always provided on a voluntary and confidential basis; only BLS employees, prohibited from revealing, are allowed access to individual company price reports. BLS publishes price indexes instead of unit dollar prices. All producer price indexes are routinely subject to revision four months after the original publication to reflect the availability of late reports and corrections by respondents. There are three primary systems of indexes within the PPI program: (1) stage-of-processing indexes; (2) indexes for the net output of industries and their products; and (3) commodity indexes. The commodity-based stage-of-processing structure organizes products by class of buyer and degree of fabrication. The entire output of various industries is sampled to derive price indexes for the net output of industries and their products. The commodity structure organizes products by similarity of end-use or material composition. Within the commodity-based stage-of-processing system, finished goods are commodities that will not undergo further processing and they are ready for sale to the final demand user—either an individual consumer or a business firm. Consumer foods include unprocessed foods, such as eggs and fresh vegetables, as well as processed foods, such as bakery products and meats. Other finished consumer goods include durable goods, such as automobiles, household furniture, and appliances; and nondurable goods, such as apparel and home heating oil. Capital equipment

Producer price indexes for the net output of industries and their products are grouped according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system and the Census Bureau product code extensions of the SIC. Industry price indexes are compatible with other economic time series organized by SIC codes, such as data on employment, wages, and productivity. Net output values of shipments are used as weights for industry indexes and refer to the value of shipments from establishments in one industry shipped to establishments classified in another industry. However, weights for commodity price indexes are based on gross shipment values, including shipment values between establishments within the same industry. As a result, commodity aggregate indexes, such as the all commodities index, are affected by the multiple counting of price change at successive stages of processing. This can lead to exaggerated or misleading signals about inflation. Stage-of-processing indexes partly correct this defect, but industry indexes consistently correct this weakness at all levels of aggregation. Therefore, industry and stage-of-processing indexes are more appropriate than commodity aggregate indexes for economic analysis of general price trends. Weights for most traditional commodity groupings of the PPI, as well as all indexes calculated from traditional commodity groupings (such as stage-of-processing indexes), are currently and primarily calculated with 1997 net output weights and 1992 input-output relationships. With the release of data for January 2004, the PPI program changed its basis for industry classification from the 1987 SIC system to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The PPI treats the SIC-to-NAICS comparison as continuous if 80 percent or more of the weight of the SIC-based index comprises at least 80 percent of the weight of the NAICS-based index. All index series that have passed this test are published under the NAICS structure using the index base date and price index history established by the SIC-based index. Sources of Additional Information Additional information is published monthly by the BLS in the Producer Price Index Detailed Report. For information on the underlying concepts and methodology of the Producer Price Index, see Chapter 14 in the BLS Handbook of Methods, which is available on the BLS Web site at .

Hospital and related services

From 2004 to 2005, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for hospital and related services continued to rise at a faster rate (5.3 percent) than other components of medical care prices. The CPI for medical services rose 4.8 percent, the CPI for professional services increased by 3.8 percent, and the CPI for medical care commodities grew by 2.5 percent. (See Table 7-8.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • In 2005, the CPI for all items rose 3.4 percent, but the CPI for all items excluding energy prices only increased 2.2 percent. From 1999 to 2005, prices for nondurables less food and apparel and medical care services grew rapidly (36.4 percent and 31.9 percent, respectively). The CPI for apparel declined 9 percent from 1999 to 2005. (See Tables 7-4 and 7-5.) • Food and beverages, housing, and transportation made up 76.1 percent of the CPI in 2005, rising from 75.8 percent in 2004. (See Table 7-9.) • The CPI Research Series Using Current Methods (CPI-U-RS) rose more slowing than the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U). From 1995 to 2005, the CPI-U-RS grew 27.2 percent, compared to 28.1 percent for the CPI-U. (See Tables 7-4 and 7-11.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS CONSUMER PRICE INDEX

interest costs, property taxes, property insurance, and maintenance and repair.

Collection and Coverage The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the average change in prices of goods and services purchased by urban consumers for day-to-day living. The weights used in calculating the index, which remain fixed for relatively long periods of time, are based on actual expenditures reported in the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE). The quantities and qualities of the sample items in the market basket remain essentially the same between consecutive pricing periods. The index measures only the effect of price change on the cost of living and does not measure changes in the total amount families spend for living. Geographic area indexes measure price changes in individual areas over time, not relative differences in prices or living costs between areas. Periodic Updating The index for the years 1913–1935 used a study of 1917–1919 spending by households of wage earners and clerical workers as the basis for its weights. Since then, there have been six revisions to bring the market basket of goods and services up to date and to revise the weights and improve the sampling methods used in the survey. Over the past 20 years, several major changes have been introduced into the CPI. The 1978 revision of the CPI updated the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) and introduced a new index for the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), which includes salaried workers, the self-employed, the retired, the unemployed, and wage earners and clerical workers. The CPI-W now represents the spending patterns of 32 percent of the population; the CPI-U represents the spending patterns of 87 percent of the population. Before 1978, changes in the CPI-U were based on changes in the CPI-W. The 1978 revision also instituted sampling for all levels of the index, right down to the selection of individual items within each retail outlet. Beginning with the index for January 1983, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) changed the way the CPI-U measures homeowners’ costs; the CPI-W implemented the same change in January 1985. The change converted the homeownership component from an asset approach, which includes both the investment and consumption aspects of homeownership, to a flow-of-services approach, which only measures the cost of shelter services consumed by homeowners. The new approach uses a rental equivalence method to calculate homeowner shelter costs by estimating the implicit rent owners would have to pay to rent the homes in which they live. The old method calculated homeowners’ costs as home purchase, mortgage

The 1987 major revision of both the CPI-U and the CPIW introduced weights based upon data from the 1982, 1983, and 1984 CE Surveys. The 1998 CPI revision, which went into effect with the index for January 1998, uses expenditure data from the 1993–1995 CE Surveys and population data from the 1990 decennial census. Current Methodology The CPI uses 87 pricing areas in 38 different index areas from around the United States. BLS revises the outlets and items in its sample on a five-year rotating basis. Before rotating the sample, the Census Bureau conducts a Pointof-Purchase Survey for BLS. This survey determines the locations of retail outlets at which consumers buy goods and services in various categories; it also determines how much they spend on each category in each reported outlet. BLS then draws outlet samples from the Point-ofPurchase Survey information. Field agents visit the selected retail outlets and sample the applicable item categories with checklists, which exhaustively define these categories of goods and services. A data collector, who uses the checklists in systematic stages, generally selects the items to be priced in a specific retail store. Information provided by the respondent is taken into account at each stage. Outlets may be located outside of the pricing area to represent out-of-town purchases. After the initial selection, the same item (or a close substitute) is priced from period to period in order to ensure the greatest extent possible that differences in reported prices are measures of price change only. All taxes directly associated with the purchase, or with the continued use of the items priced, are included in the indexes. Foods, fuels, rents, and other items are priced monthly in all areas. Prices of most other commodities and services are obtained monthly in the three largest geographical areas and every other month in the remaining areas, with half obtained in odd-numbered months and half obtained in even-numbered months. Between scheduled survey dates, prices are held at the level of their last pricing. BLS agents also collect data for a sample of rental units drawn from the Decennial Census of Population and Housing. This sample is heavily augmented with renter-occupied housing units in areas where there are many owner-occupied units. This survey is the basis for the rent and owner-equivalent rent components of the CPI. BLS calculates basic indexes (elementary aggregates) for the 211 item strata in each of the 38 index areas. Basic indexes are combined with weights based on the 1993–1995 Consumer Expenditure Surveys and the 1990 decennial census.

CHAPTER 7: PRICES 335

BLS publishes CPI indexes for a variety of commodities and services by region, by size of city, by cross-classifications of regions and population size classes, and for 26 metropolitan areas. The purchasing power of the consumer dollar for any given date is calculated as the reciprocal of the index for that date, expressed in dollars, with the dollar’s value in 1982–1984 equal to $1.00. It shows changes in the value of the dollar resulting from changes in prices of consumer goods and services. Dividing the index for the desired base date by the index for the current date and expressing the result in dollars can calculate the purchasing power of the dollar; this allows for clear comparisons to other base dates. The relative importance figures are percentage distributions of the cost or value weights used in the index calculation. The cost weights represent average expenditures by consumers for specific classes of goods and services. However, in the subsequent pricing periods, the value weights and the corresponding relative importance figures change as prices change differentially. (In other words, the relative importance increases for an item or group having a greater than average price increase and decreases for an item having a less than average price increase.) Historically, the weights in the CPI have been updated about once every 10 years. Since 2002, the CPI expenditure weights have been updated every other year to keep the weights more current with consumer spending habits.

Since the CPI traditionally measured price changes for a fixed market basket of goods and services, it was criticized as overstating inflation, because it did not account for the fact that consumers can substitute (buy more or less) as relative prices change. In 1999, the CPI began using a geometric mean formula to average the prices within most item categories. This formula assumes a modest degree of substitution within CPI item categories as relative prices change. In 2002, BLS created an additional price index using a “superlative” formula to be address consumer substitution across CPI item categories. BLS began publishing this index, called the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers effective with release of July data in August 2002. Designated the C-CPI-U, the index will supplement—not replace—the CPI-U and the CPI-W. The Consumer Price Index Research Series Using Current Methods (CPI-U-RS) presents an estimate of the CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) from 1978 to the present that incorporates most of the improvements made over that time span into the entire series. Sources of Additional Information An extensive description of the methodology is available in the updated version of Chapter 17 in the BLS Handbook of Methods. Additional detailed data is in the Consumer Price Index Detailed Report (published monthly) and other special reports. All of these resources can be found on the BLS Web site at .

CHAPTER 7: PRICES 347

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS EXPORT AND IMPORT PRICE INDEXES Collection and Coverage United States Export Price Indexes (XPI) and Import Price Indexes (MPI) cover nonmilitary goods transactions between the United States and the rest of the world. The XPI provides a measure of price change for U.S. products sold to other countries, and the MPI provides a measure of price change for goods purchased by U.S. residents from other countries Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) field representatives use personal visits to initially collect the prices used in constructing the indexes. Thereafter, the prices are generally collected each month by mail questionnaire or telephone. To the greatest extent possible, products are priced at the U.S. border for exports and at both the foreign border and the U.S. border for imports. Only one price basis series is used in constructing the index for each given product. For most products, prices refer to transactions completed during the first week of the month. Indexes published in this volume are based on the Standard Industrial Trade Classification System (SITC), a United Nations product classification system. The SITC is especially useful for international comparisons. The Bureau of Economic Analysis’s End-Use Category and Harmonized System both publish these indexes. Prices are collected according to a specification method. The specifications for each product include detailed descriptions of the product’s physical and functional characteristics. The terms of transaction include information

on the number of units bought or sold, discounts, credit terms, packaging, and class of buyer or seller. When there are changes in either the specifications or terms of transaction for a product, the dollar value of each change is deleted from the total price change in order to obtain the “pure price change.” Once this value is determined, a linking procedure is employed, which allows for the continued repricing of the item. At the elementary level, the price changes for individual items within a given company/classification group cell are generally averaged together using equal weights in order to produce an index at the cell level. These cells are then averaged together using the relative importance of a given company’s trade in the product area to produce an index at the classification group level. These classification group indexes are then averaged together using weights derived from these company weights in order to produce the lowest-level publication strata. Successively higher levels of publication strata are then averaged together using their relative importance based on 2004 U.S. trade values. A limited number of import price indexes based on locality of origin indexes are also produced. BLS also publishes indexes for selected categories of internationally traded services; these indexes are calculated on an international basis. Sources of Additional Information Concepts and methodology are described in Chapter 15 of the BLS Handbook of Methods and in monthly BLS press releases. These resources are available on the BLS Web site at .

CHAPTER EIGHT CONSUMER EXPENDITURES

CONSUMER EXPENDITURES HIGHLIGHTS The principal objective of the Consumer Expenditure Survey is to collect information about the buying habits of American households. This survey breaks down expenditures for different demographic categories, such as income, age, family size, and geographic location. These data are used in a variety of government, business, and academic research projects and provide important weights for the periodic revisions of the Consumer Price Index.

Major consumer expenditure 25 to 34 years 55 to 64 years

35 to 44 years 65 to 74 years

45 to 54 years 75 years and over

The most notable differences in expenditure spending among different age groups can be found when comparing the 75 years old and over age group to younger age groups. As expected, the 75 years old and over age group expended a much higher percentage on health care in 2004, spending twice the share of the 55- to 64-year-old age group and more than three times the share of the 45-to 54-year-old age group. (See Table 8-10.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Much of the difference in expenditure shares can be associated with income and with changing needs. For instance, the spending shares of the 65 years old and over age group in 2004 reflected the fact that the income of that group was about one-third less than the income of the 55- to 64-yearold age group. (See Table 8-10.) • While the proportion of all households without a mortgage was 25 percent in 2004, this number rose to 62 percent for the 65 years old and over age group. (See Tables 8-2 and 8-10.) • From 2003 to 2004, the proportion of all households with incomes over $100,000 increased from 11.8 percent to 12.8 percent, and the share of aggregate expenditures of these households rose from 25.9 percent to 27.9 percent. In 2004, 4.4 percent of all households had incomes of $150,000 or more and accounted for 11.9 percent of total spending. (See Table 8-4.) • Single women spent 8.1 percent of their income on health care and single men spent 5.1 percent of their income on health care in 2004. Typically, single women were older and had lower incomes than single men. However, single men spent more on transportation and entertainment than single women. Even in the same income bracket ($30,000–$39,999), single men spent a greater percentage of their total income on transportation (20.2 percent) than single women (16.4 percent). (See Tables 8-21 and 8-22.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS Purpose, Collection, and Coverage The buying habits of American consumers change over time because of changes in relative prices, real income, family size and composition, and other determinants of tastes and preferences. The introduction of new products into the marketplace and the emergence of new concepts in retailing also have influence on consumer buying habits. Data from the Consumer Expenditure Survey (CE), the only national survey that relates family expenditures to demographic characteristics, are of great importance to researchers. The survey data are also used to revise the Consumer Price Index market baskets and item samples. Until the 1970s, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) conducted surveys of consumer expenditures roughly once every 10 years. The last such survey was conducted in 1972–1973. In late 1979, in a significant departure from previous methodology, BLS initiated a survey to be conducted on a continuous basis with rotating panels of respondents. The current CE is similar to its 1972–1973 predecessor in that it consists of two separate components. Each component has its own questionnaire and sample: (1) the Interview Survey, in which an interviewer visits each consumer unit every three months for a 12-month period; and (2) the Diary Survey, a record-keeping survey completed by other consumer units for two consecutive one-week periods. The Census Bureau, under contract to BLS, collects the data for both components of the survey. Beginning in 1999, the sample was increased from 5,000 to 7,500 households. In 2003, the survey modified the questions on race and Hispanic origin to comply with the new standards for maintaining, collecting, and presenting federal data on race and ethnicity for federal statistical agencies. Beginning with the 2003 data, the CE tables have used data collected from the new race and ethnicity questions. A number of new classifications were made with publication of the 2003 data. Beginning with the publication of the 2004 tables, the CE has been implementing multiple imputations of income data. Prior to 2004, the CE only published income data collected from complete income reporters. The introduction of multiply imputed income data affects the CE published tables in several ways, because income data are now published for all consumer units (instead of complete reporters only). The most obvious result of this change is seen on the tables showing expenditures categorized by income before taxes, including income by quintile. Starting in 2004, columns describing income, expenditures, and characteristics for “Total complete reporting” and “Incomplete reporting of income” no longer appear in these tables, and the column entitled, “All consumer units” appears on the income tables. Due to the implementation

of income imputation, data for 2004 are not strictly comparable to those of prior years, especially for the income tables. Averages for demographic characteristics and annual expenditures will change, due to differences between the incomplete and complete income reporters in these categories. Furthermore, certain expenditures (such as personal insurance and pensions) are computed using income data. As a result of imputation, average annual values for these expenditures may be substantially different in the 2004 CE tables than in tables for previous years. The regular flow of data resulting from this design substantially enhances the usefulness of the survey by providing more timely information on consumption patterns within different kinds of consumer units. The Interview Survey is designed to collect data on the types of expenditures that respondents can be expected to recall after a period of three months or longer. These include relatively large expenditures (such as those for property, travel, automobiles, and major appliances) and expenditures that occur on a regular basis (such as those for rent, utilities, insurance premiums, and clothing). The interview also obtains “global estimates” of food expenditures for both food at home and food away from home. For food-at-home expenditures, respondents are asked to estimate their typical weekly spending at the grocery store and to determine how much was spent on nonfood items. Nonfood items are then subtracted from the total. Convenience and specialty stores are also included in the food-at-home estimates. The survey also collects data for approximately 95 percent of total expenditures. Excluded from the Interview Survey are nonprescription drugs, household supplies, and personal care products. The Diary Survey is designed to collect data on expenditures for frequently purchased items that are more difficult to recall over longer periods of time. Respondents keep detailed records of expenses for food and beverages at home and meals in eating places away from home. Expenditures for tobacco, drugs (including nonprescription drugs), and personal care supplies and services are also collected in the Diary Survey. Participants in both surveys record dollar amounts for goods and services purchased during the reporting period, regardless of whether payment was made at the time of purchase. Excluded from both surveys are business-related expenditures and expenditures for which the family is reimbursed. Information is collected on demographic and family characteristics at the initial interview for each survey. The tables in this chapter present integrated data from the Diary and Interview Surveys and provide a complete accounting of consumer expenditures and income, which neither survey component is designed to do alone. Data for some expenditure items are only collected in either the

CHAPTER 8: CONSUMER EXPENDITURES 369

Diary Survey or Interview Survey. For example, the Diary Survey does not collect data for expenditures on overnight travel or information on reimbursements, while the Interview Survey records these purchases. Examples of expenditures for which reimbursements are netted out include those for medical care, auto repair, and construction, repairs, alterations, and maintenance of property. For items unique to one survey or the other, the choice of which survey to use as the source of data is obvious. However, there is considerable overlap in coverage between the two surveys. Integrating the data thus presents the problem of determining the appropriate survey component. When data are available from both survey sources, the more reliable of the two (as determined by statistical methods) is selected. As a result, some items are selected from the Interview Survey and others are selected from the Diary Survey. Research is underway to evaluate survey methodology; this research is described in Consumer Expenditure Survey Anthology, 2005, which can be found on the BLS Web site at .

earners in consumer unit, housing tenure, race, type of area (urban or rural), and occupation. Concepts and Definitions A consumer unit comprises either (1) all members of a particular household related by blood, marriage, adoption, or other legal arrangements; (2) a person living alone, sharing a household with others, living as a roomer in a private home or lodging house or in permanent living quarters in a hotel or motel, but who is financially independent; or (3) two or more persons living together who pool their income to make joint expenditure decisions. Financial independence is determined by the three major expense categories: housing, food, and other living expenses. To be considered financially independent, at least two of the three major expense categories have to be provided by the respondent. The terms “family,” “household,” and “consumer unit” are used interchangeably in descriptions of the CE. The householder or reference person is the first member of the consumer unit mentioned by the respondent as owner or renter of the premises at the time of the initial interview.

Data Included in This Book Data for single characteristics are for calendar year 2004, and data for two cross-classified characteristics are for an average of calendar years 2003–2004. Income values from the survey are derived from “complete income reporters” only. Complete income reporters are defined as consumer units that provide values for at least one of the major sources of their income: wages and salaries, self-employment income, retirement income, dividends and interest, and welfare benefits. Some consumer units are defined as complete income reporters, even though they may not have provided a full accounting of all income from all sources. Consumer units are classified by quintiles of income before taxes, age of reference person, size of consumer unit, region, composition of consumer unit, number of

Total expenditures include the transaction costs, including excise and sales taxes of goods and services acquired during the interview period. Estimates include expenditures for gifts and contributions and payments for pensions and personal insurance. An earner is a consumer unit member, 14 years of age or older, who reported having worked at least 1 week during the 12 months prior to the interview date. Sources of Additional Information More extensive descriptions and tables are contained in BLS Report 992, “Consumer Expenditures in 2004”; in an updated version of Chapter 16 in the BLS Handbook of Methods; and in an anthology of articles relating to consumer expenditures. All of these resources can be found on the BLS Web site at .

Incidence rate per 100 full-time workers

Transportation and warehousing continued to have the highest incidence rate of non-fatal occupational injuries and illnesses among all major industries, with 7.3 per 100 full-time workers in 2004. Financial activities had the lowest rate at 1.6 injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers. Most industries had injury and illness rates that were equal to or lower than their rates in 2003. Rates for injuries and illnesses requiring days away from work were much lower, ranging from 0.5 injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers for financial services to 3.1 injuries and illnesses per 100 full-time workers for transportation and warehousing. (See Table 9-1.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • In 2004, manufacturing had a higher injury incidence rate than construction, but construction had a higher rate of injuries and illnesses requiring days away from work. This indicates an occurance of more serious injuries and illnesses in that industry. (See Table 9-1.) • Truck drivers had the highest number of days away from work as a result of occupational injuries and illnesses. They also had the highest percentage of being away from work for 31 days or more. (See Table 9-3.) • Men suffered 93 percent of all fatal injuries and 66 percent of all non-fatal injuries in 2004. (See Tables 9-2 and 9-4.) • In 2005, there was just 1 less fatal occupational injury than in 2004. The age distribution of workers suffering from fatal occupational injuries remained about the same in 2005, with those in the 45- to 54-year-old age group again suffering the highest number of fatalities. (See Table 9-4.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS Collection and Coverage

Concepts and Definitions

Nonfatal Occupational Injuries and Illnesses

Recordable occupational injuries and illnesses include: (1) nonfatal occupational injuries that involve one or more of the following: loss of consciousness, restriction of work or motion, transfer to another job, or medical treatment (other than first aid). The annual survey measures only nonfatal injuries and illnesses. To better address fatalities, BLS implemented the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (described below); and (2) nonfatal occupational illnesses.

The Survey of Occupational Injuries and Illnesses is a federal/state program that collected employer reports from about 173,800 private industry establishments in 2004. The survey estimates are based on a probability sample and are then processed by state agencies in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The survey measures nonfatal injuries and illnesses only and excludes the self-employed, farms with fewer than 11 employees, private households, federal government agencies, and, for national estimates, employees in state and local government agencies

Occupational injury is any injury—such as a cut, fracture, sprain, or amputation—that results from a work accident or from exposure to an incident in the work environment.

BLS has reported annually on the number and rate of days away from work injuries and illnesses in private industry since the early 1970s. The 2004 national survey marks the 13th year that BLS has collected additional detailed information concerning worker and case characteristics data, including data on lost work time. On January 19, 2001, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) promulgated revisions to its requirements for recording occupational injuries and illnesses. These revisions became effective January 1, 2002, and were reflected in the 2002 survey.

Occupational illness is an abnormal condition or disorder (other than one resulting from an occupational injury) caused by exposure to environmental factors associated with employment. It includes acute and chronic illnesses and diseases that may have been caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion, or direct contact. Long-term latent illnesses can be difficult to relate to the workplace and are believed to be understated in this survey.

The term “lost workdays” was eliminated under these revisions, which instead require companies to record days away from work and days of restricted work or transfer to another job. In addition, the new rules for counting rely on calendar days instead of workdays. Employers are no longer required to count days away from work or days of job transfer or restriction beyond 180 days. These changes have affected the calculation of median days away from work from 2002 onward, making data from those years noncomparable to data from previous years.

The data are presented in the form of incidence rates, defined as the number of injuries and illnesses or cases of days away from work per 100 full-time employees. The formula is (N/EH) x 200,000, where N = number of injuries and illnesses or days away from work, EH = total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year, and 200,000 = the base for 100 full-time equivalent workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).

The number and frequency (incidence rates) of days away from work cases are based on logs and other records kept by private industry employers throughout the year. These records reflect the year’s overall injury and illness experience and the employers’ understanding of which cases are work related under the current record-keeping guidelines of the U. S. Department of Labor. The number of injuries and illnesses reported in a given year can be influenced by changes in the level of economic activity, working conditions and work practices, worker experience and training, and the number of hours worked. The Mine Safety and Health Administration and the Federal Railroad Administration furnish mining and railroad data to BLS. These data are therefore not comparable to data from other industries. Industry data are classified according to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS).

Days away from work are cases that involve days away from work, days of restricted work activity, or both.

Comparable data for individual states are available from the BLS Office of Safety, Health, and Working Conditions. Collection and Coverage Fatal Occupational Injuries Since 1992, BLS has been collected a comprehensive count of work-related deaths in the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI). The CFOI covers private workers in family businesses, and public sector workers. The CFOI program is a cooperative venture between the state and federal governments. The program collects and cross checks fatality information from multiple sources, including death certificates, state and federal workers’ compensation reports, Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Mine Safety and Health Administration records, medical examiner and autopsy reports, media accounts, state motor vehicle fatality records, and follow-up questionnaires to employers.

CHAPTER 9: OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH 403

Fatality counts from the CFOI are combined with average annual employment from the Current Population Survey to produce a fatal work injury rate. Data for 2005 are preliminary. CFOI data include deaths that resulted from traumatic occupational injuries.

Industries are classified according to NAICS and occupations according to the Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system.

For a fatality to be included in the CFOI, the decedent must have been employed at the time of the event and present at the site of the incident as a job requirement. Due to the latency period of many occupational illnesses and the resulting difficulty associated with linking illnesses to work, it is difficult to compile a complete count of all fatal illnesses in a given year. Thus, information on illnessrelated deaths are excluded from the basic fatality count.

For more extensive definitions and a description of collection methods see BLS news release USDL 05-2195, “Workplace Injuries and Illnesses in 2004,” for injuries and illnesses; USDL 06-1364, “National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries for Fatalities,” for more information on the CFOI; and occasional articles in Compensation and Working Conditions.

CHAPTER TEN LABOR MANAGEMENT RELATIONS

Sector

In both the public and private sectors, median weekly earnings of union members were about 23 percent higher than those of non-union workers in 2005. Union members in natural resources, construction, and manufacturing earned over 55 percent more than non-union members in the same occupational group. However, in management, professional, and related occupations, there was virtually no difference in median weekly earnings according to union status. (See Table 10-4.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • In 2005, the proportion of employed workers who were union members remained constant at 12.5 percent, making this the first year since 1999 that this percentage did not decline from the previous year. The decrease in the number of men belonging to unions was offset by an increase in the number of women belonging to unions. (See Tables 10-2 and 10-5.) • The public sector, which typically has the highest percentage of union members, experienced increases in union membership at the state and local levels but suffered a decline at the federal level from 2004 to 2005. Local government employment, including teachers, librarians, and social service workers, made up more than half of all public sector employment. Nearly 42 percent of local government employees were union members in 2005. (See Table 10-3.) • In five states, at least 20 percent of workers belonged to unions in 2005: New York (26.1 percent), Hawaii (25.8 percent), Alaska (22.8 percent), Michigan (20.5 percent), and New Jersey (20.5 percent). Of the five states, only Michigan experienced a decline in union membership from 2004 to 2005. (See Table 10-6.) • Work stoppages were very rare in 2005, with days idle constituting only 0.01 percent of total working time. (See Table 10-1.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS WORK STOPPAGES Collection and Coverage Data on work stoppages measure the number and duration of major strikes or lockouts (involving 1,000 workers or more) during the year, the number of workers involved in these stoppages, and the amount of time lost due to these stoppages. Information on work stoppages is obtained from reports issued by the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, state labor market information offices, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Strike Reports from the Office of Employment and Unemployment Statistics, and media sources such as the Daily Labor Report and the Wall Street Journal. One or both parties involved in the work stoppage (employer and/or union) is contacted to verify the duration of the stoppage and number of workers idled by the stoppage. The current series is not comparable with series terminated in 1981. The former series covered strikes involving six workers or more.

or secondary effect of stoppages on other establishments whose employees are idle from material shortages or lack of services. Days of idleness is calculated by taking the number of workers involved in the strike or lockout and multiplying it by the number of days workers are off the job. Sources of Additional Information Additional information is available in BLS news release USDL 06-363, “Major Work Stoppages in 2005.” UNION MEMBERSHIP Collection, Coverage, and Definitions The estimates of union membership are obtained from the Current Population Survey (CPS). The union membership and earnings data are tabulated from one-quarter of the CPS monthly sample and are limited to wage and salary workers. Excluded are all self-employed workers. Union members are members of a labor union or an employee association similar to a union.

Concepts and Definitions Major work stoppage includes both worker-initiated strikes and employer-initiated lockouts involving 1,000 workers or more. BLS does not distinguish between lockouts and strikes in its statistics. Workers involved consists of workers directly involved in the stoppage. This category does not measure the indirect

Represented by unions refers to union members, as well as to workers who have no union affiliation but whose jobs are covered by a union contract. Sources of Additional Information Additional information is available in BLS news release USDL 06-99, “Union Members in 2005.”

CHAPTER ELEVEN FOREIGN LABOR AND PRICE STATISTICS

FOREIGN LABOR AND PRICE STATISTICS HIGHLIGHTS This chapter compares several summary statistics of labor force status, manufacturing productivity, and consumer prices for the United States with similar statistics for other countries. Different concepts and methodologies can make intercountry comparisons difficult, but the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) makes adjustments to reconcile as much of the data as possible. There are lags in the receipt of data from other countries; thus, comparisons are based on the latest data available.

Country

In 2005, unemployment rates declined or remained the same in 7 out of the 8 countries measured in Table 11-1. Unemployment data were not available for Italy or Sweden. Although unemployment rates dropped in several countries, Western Europe continued to struggle with relatively high unemployment. The unemployment rates in France and Germany in 2005 were both 9.7 percent in 2005, compared to 5.1 percent in the United States. (See Table 11-1.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • The decline in unemployment rates accompanied a rise in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in all countries except Italy. However, even though GDP per capita increased in most countries, it generally grew at a much slower rate than in previous years. (See Table 11-9.) • Stated in 2002 U.S. dollars, the United States had the highest real GDP per capita at $39,103 in 2005, followed closely by Norway at $38,338 (data adjusted to accommodate price differences and reflect purchasing power parity). The Republic of Korea had the lowest real GDP per capita at $20,422, but had the largest percentage increase from the previous year at 3.5 percent. (See Table 11-6.) • Inflation appeared to be under control in the 16 countries from which data were collected; prices increased a small amount in most of these countries in 2005. (See Table 11-5.)

428 HANDBOOK OF U.S. LABOR STATISTICS (BERNAN PRESS)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS Collection and Coverage From its inception, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has conducted a program of research and statistical analysis that compares labor conditions in the United States with those in selected foreign countries. The principal comparative measures cover the labor force, employment, and unemployment; trends in labor productivity and unit labor costs in manufacturing; and hourly compensation costs for manufacturing production workers. All of the measures are based upon statistical data and other source materials from (a) the statistical agencies of the foreign countries studied; (b) international and supranational bodies such as the United Nations, the International Labour Office (ILO), the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and the Statistical Office of the European Communities (EUROSTAT), which attempt to obtain comparable country data; and (c) other secondary sources. International statistical comparisons should be made with caution, as the statistical concepts and methods in each country are primarily fashioned to meet domestic (rather than international) needs. Wherever possible, BLS adjusts the data to improve comparability. The first table in this chapter provides BLS comparative measures of the civilian labor force participation rate, employment, and unemployment, approximating U.S. concepts. The second table provides trend indexes of manufacturing labor productivity (output per hour), hourly compensation, unit labor costs (labor compensation per unit of output), and related measures for the United States and 14 other countries. The third table is limited to production workers in manufacturing and shows hourly compensation costs in U.S. dollars for the United States and 31 other countries. The fourth and fifth tables provide Consumer Price Indexes for selected countries. No adjustments for compa-

rability are made in the total indexes except to convert them to a uniform base year (1982–1984 = 100). The final tables present comparative levels and trends in real gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and per employed person for 15 countries. All GDP series are converted to U.S. dollars through the use of purchasing power parities. U.S. data in this chapter have been revised from 1998 forward and are based on the 1997 North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Output, a value-added measure, is based on a new methodology that balances and reconciles industry production with commodity usage. Canadian data are also on a NAICS basis for 1997 onward. Labor productivity is defined as real output per hour worked. Although the labor productivity measure presented in this release relates output to the hours worked of persons employed in manufacturing, it does not measure the specific contributions of labor as a single factor of production. It instead reflects the joint effects of many influences, including new technology, capital investment, capacity utilization, energy use, managerial skills, and the skills and efforts of the workforce. Unit labor costs are defined as the cost of labor input required to produce one unit of output. They are computed as compensation in nominal terms divided by real output. Sources of Additional Information An extensive description of the methodology can be found in Chapter 12 in the BLS Handbook of Methods. For more information on manufacturing productivity, see BLS news release USDL 06-1655, “International Comparisons of Manufacturing Productivity and Unit Labor Costs Trends, 2005.” Special reports on the BLS Web site at describe the adjustments made to each country to conform the country’s data to U.S. definitions.

1Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China. 2Unified Germany for 1995 onward. Data for previous years relate to the former West Germany. 3Since data for Germany are not available before 1993, data for the former West Germany are only included in the trade-weighted measures. 4The trade weights used to compute the average compensation cost measures for selected economic groups are new weights based on the relative dollar value of U.S. trade in manufactured

commodities (exports plus imports) with each country or region in 2004. The trade data are compiled by the U.S. Census Bureau.

5Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. 6Data for the Czech Republic and Hungary are not included for 1975–1990. 7European Union-15 refers to European Union member countries prior to the European Union's expansion to 25 countries on May 1, 2004. 8The Asian Newly Industrialized Economies (NIEs) are Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan.

CHAPTER TWELVE AMERICAN TIME USE SURVEY

AMERICAN TIME USE SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS This chapter presents data from the new American Time Use Survey (ATUS). The survey was introduced in the sixth edition of the Handbook of Labor Statistics. Its purpose is to collect data on the activities people do during the day and the amount of time they spend on each one.

Average Hours Spent Per Day in Primary Activities for Persons Reporting the Activity on the Diary Day, 2005 10

Hours

8 6 4 2 0

Working and workrelated activities

Leisure and sports

Household activities

Caring for and helping household children

Activity Both sexes

Men

Women

The results from the ATUS were similar in 2004 and 2005. Among those who reported having worked on the diary day, men worked 7.89 hours and women worked 7.07 hours per day in 2005. In 2004, men reported working 7.99 hours per day and women reported working 7.13 hours per day. Women were more likely to hold part-time jobs. Men spent more hours per day on leisure activities and sports, while women spent more time doing household activities and caring for children in both 2004 and 2005. (See Table 12-1.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Persons with a bachelor’s degree or higher spent less time on leisure activities and more time working in 2005 than those with lower levels of educational attainment. (See Table 12-2.) • Management, business, and financial operations workers spent fewer hours at work on weekends and holidays than production or transportion and material moving workers. However, a greater percentage of management, business, and financial operations workers (31.5 percent) spent time working on weekends and holidays than transportation and material moving workers (25.6 percent) or production workers (20.8 percent). (See Table 12-4.) • In 2005, men spent more time watching television than women. This disparity was the greater on the weekends, when men spent approximately 3.5 hours per day watching television and women spent approximately 2.7 hours per day watching television. (See Table 12-9.) • In 2004 and 2005, women spent more time caring for children than men, regardless of their employment status. (See Table 12-8.)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS Survey Methodology While the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has long produced statistics about the labor market, including information about employment, hours, and earnings, the American Time Use Survey (ATUS) marks the first time that a federal statistical agency has produced estimates on how Americans spend another critical resource—their time. Data collection for the ATUS began in January 2003. Sample cases for the survey are selected monthly, and interviews are conducted continuously throughout the year. In 2005, approximately 13,000 individuals were interviewed. ATUS sample households are chosen from the households that have completed their eighth (final) interview for the Current Population Survey (CPS), the nation’s monthly household labor force survey. (See Chapter 1 of this Handbook for a description of the CPS.) ATUS sample households are selected to ensure that estimates will be representative of the nation. An individual age 15 years or over is randomly chosen from each sample household. This “designated person” takes part in a one-time telephone interview about his or her activities on the previous day (the “diary day”). Concepts and Definitions Average hours per day. The average number of hours spent in a 24-hour day (between 4 a.m. on the diary day and 4 a.m. on the interview day) doing a specified activity. Average hours per day, population. The average number of hours per day spent on a particular activity is computed using all responses from the sample population, including those from respondents who did not do the particular activity on their diary day. These estimates reflect the total number of respondents engaged in an activity and the total amount of time they spent on the activity. Average hours per day, persons reporting the activity on the diary day. The average number of hours per day spent on a particular activity is computed using responses only from those engaged in the particular activity on the diary day. Diary day. The diary day is the day about which the designated person reports. For example, the diary day of a designated person interviewed on Tuesday would be Monday. Employment Status Employed. All persons who, at any time during the seven days prior to the interview: 1) did any work at all as paid employees, worked in their own business profession, or on their own farm, or usually worked 15 hours or more as unpaid workers in a family-operated enterprise; and 2) all those who were not working but had jobs or businesses from which they were temporarily absent due to illness,

bad weather, vacation, childcare problems, labor-management dispute, maternity or paternity leave, job training, or other family or personal reasons, whether or not they were paid for the time off or were seeking other jobs. Employed full time. Full-time workers are those who usually work 35 hours or more per week at all jobs combined. Employed part time. Part-time workers are those who usually work fewer than 35 hours per week at all jobs combined. Not employed. Persons are not employed if they do not meet the conditions for employment. Not employed workers include those classified as unemployed as well as those classified as not in the labor force (using CPS definitions). The numbers of employed and not employed persons in this report do not correspond to published totals from the CPS. While the information on employment from the ATUS is useful for assessing work in the context of other daily activities, the employment data are not intended for analysis of current employment trends. Compared to the CPS and other estimates of employment, the ATUS estimates are based on a much smaller sample and are only available with a substantial lag. Household children. Household children are children under 18 years of age residing in the household of the ATUS respondent. The children may be related to the respondent (such as their own children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, brothers, or sisters) or not related (such as foster children or children of roommates). For secondary childcare calculations, respondents are asked about care of household children under 13 years of age. Primary activity. A primary activity is the main activity of a respondent at a specified time. Major Activity Category Definitions Personal care activities. Personal care activities include sleeping, bathing, dressing, health-related self-care, and personal or private activities. Receiving unpaid personal care from others (for example, “my sister put polish on my nails”) is also classified in this category. Eating and drinking. All time spent eating or drinking (except when identified by the respondent as part of a work or volunteer activity), whether alone, with others, at home, at a place of purchase, in transit, or somewhere else, in this category. Household activities. Household activities are those done by respondents to maintain their households. These include housework, cooking, yard care, pet care, vehicle maintenance and repair, and home maintenance, repair, decoration, and renovation. Food preparation is always classified as a household activity. Household management

CHAPTER 12: AMERICAN TIME USE SURVEY 445

and organizational activities—such as filling out paperwork, balancing a checkbook, and planning a party—are also included in this category. Purchasing goods and services. This category includes the purchase of consumer goods as well as the purchase or use of professional and personal care services, household services, and government services. Most purchases and rentals of consumer goods, regardless of mode or place of purchase or rental (in person, via telephone, over the Internet, at home, or in a store), are classified in this category. Time spent obtaining, receiving, and purchasing professional and personal care services provided by someone else is also classified in this category. Time spent arranging for and purchasing household services provided by someone else is also classified in this category. Caring for and helping household members. Time spent doing activities that involve caring for or helping to care for or that help any child or adult in the respondent’s household, regardless of the relationship to the respondent or the physical or mental health status of the person being helped, are classified in this category. Household members are considered children if they are under 18 years of age. Caring for and helping household members also includes a range of activities done to benefit adult members of households, such as providing physical and medical care or obtaining medical services. Caring for and helping non-household members. Time spent caring for and helping any child or adult who is not part of the respondent’s household, regardless of the relationship to the respondent or the physical or mental health status of the person being helped, is classified in this category. Working and work-related activities. This category includes time spent working, doing activities as part of one’s job, engaging in income-generating activities (not as part of one’s job), and job search activities. “Working” includes hours spent doing the specific tasks required of one’s main or other job, regardless of location or time of day. Travel

time related to working and work-related activities includes time spent commuting to and from one’s job, as well as time spent traveling for work-related activities, generating income, and job searching. Educational activities. Educational activities include taking classes (including Internet and other distance-learning courses), doing research and homework, and taking care of administrative tasks, such as registering for classes or obtaining a school ID. For high school students, beforeand after-school extracurricular activities (except sports) also are classified as educational activities. Organizational, civic, and religious activities. This category captures time spent volunteering for or through an organization, performing civic obligations, and participating in religious and spiritual activities. Leisure and sports. The leisure and sports category includes sports, exercise, and recreation; socializing and communicating; and other leisure activities, such as watching television, reading or attending entertainment events. Telephone calls, mail, and email. This category captures telephone communication and handling household or personal mail and email. Telephone and Internet purchases are classified in purchasing goods and services. Other activities, not elsewhere classified. This residual category includes security procedures related to traveling, traveling not associated with a specific activity category, ambiguous activities that could not be coded, or missing activities that were considered too private to report. Sources of Additional Information Additional information, including expanded definitions and estimation methodology, is available from BLS news release USDL 06-1276, “American Time Use Survey, 2005”; the June 2005 edition of the Monthly Labor Review; and the ATUS User’s Guide, July 2006 (all available on the BLS Web site at ).

CHAPTER THIRTEEN INCOME IN THE UNITED STATES (CENSUS BUREAU)

INCOME IN THE UNITED STATES (CENSUS BUREAU) HIGHLIGHTS This chapter presents data on income collected by the Census Bureau. Total income consists of wages and income from pensions, investments, and other sources. Income is shown for various population groups and is measured as real income in 2005 dollars.

Year

In 2005, real median income increased for the first time since 1999. It grew 1.1 percent, rising from $45,817 in 2004 to $46,326 in 2005. (See Table 13-1.) OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • Although real median income increased, earnings (as distinguished from income) of full-time workers decreased somewhat between 2004 and 2005. (See Table 13-1.) • In 2005, Black households had the lowest real median income at $30,858 and Asian households had the highest real median income at $61,094. (See Table 13-1.) • Also in 2005, households in the Northeast had the highest household income at $50,882, while households in the South had the lowest household income at $42,138. (See Table 13-1.) • The Asian alone group had the highest percentage of households with incomes over $100,000 at 27.5 percent, compared with 19.7 percent of White alone, non-Hispanic households and 7.8 percent of Black alone households. (See Table 13-2.)

460 HANDBOOK OF U.S. LABOR STATISTICS (BERNAN PRESS)

NOTES AND DEFINITIONS Collection and Coverage Data on income in the United States in this chapter are based on information collected in the 2006 and earlier Annual Social and Economic Supplements (ASEC) to the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS). The CPS is also the basis for the employment and unemployment data shown in Chapter 1 of this Handbook, which are collected by the Census Bureau for BLS. The basic CPS is described in the notes and definitions for Chapter 1. The sample universe for the CPS ASEC is slightly larger than the basic CPS, as it includes military personnel who live in a household with at least one other civilian adult, regardless of whether they live off post or on post. For each person age 15 years and over in the sample, the ASEC asks questions about the amount of income received from all sources during the preceding calendar year from all sources. In addition to wage and salary earnings, which represent the largest component of income, other sources of income include Social Security, pensions, interest, dividends, and other money income. Excluded are certain money receipts, such as capital gains.

Although the income statistics refer to receipts during the previous calendar year, the demographic characteristics, such as age and household composition, are as of the survey date. Data on income cover money income received before payments for personal income taxes, Social Security, Medicare, union dues, and the like. Therefore money income does not reflect the fact that some families receive noncash benefits, such as food stamps, health benefits, subsidized housing, and the like. In addition, money income does not reflect noncash benefits such payments by business for retirement programs, medical expenses, or other benefits. The Census Bureau uses the research series of the BLS Consumer Price Index (CPI-U-RS) to adjust for changes in the cost of living. These indexes are shown in Table 7-11 of this Handbook. Additional Information Additional information is available in the Census publication “Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2005,” which can be found on the Census Bureau Web site at .

1The 2004 data have been revised to reflect a correction to the weights in the 2005 Annual Social and Economic Supplements (ASEC). 2A 90-percent confidence interval is a measure of an estimate’s variability. The larger the confidence interval in relation to the size of the estimate, the less reliable the estimate. 3Federal surveys now give respondents the option of reporting more than one race. Therefore, two basic ways of defining a race group are possible. A group such as Asian may be

1.17

defined as those who reported Asian and no other race (the race-alone or single-race concept) or as those who reported Asian regardless of whether they also reported another race (the race-alone-or-in-combination concept). This table shows data using the race-alone concept. The use of the single-race population does not imply that it is the preferred method of presenting or analyzing data. The Census Bureau uses a variety of approaches. Information on people who reported more than one race, such as White and American Indian and Alaska Native or Asian and Black or African American, is available from Census 2000 through American FactFinder. About 2.6 percent of people reported more than one race in Census 2000. 4May be of any race. 5The "outside metropolitan statistical areas" category includes both micropolitan statistical areas and territory outside of metropolitan and micropolitan statistical areas. 6The data shown in this section are shares of aggregate household income, the Gini index, and their respective confidence intervals. See the article by Paul Allison entitled "Measures of Inequality" from American Sociological Review 43 (December 1977), pp. 865–880, for an explanation of inequality measures. 7The data shown in this section are per capita incomes and their respective confidence intervals. Per capita income is the mean income computed for every man, woman, and child in a particular group. It is derived by dividing the total income of a particular group by the total population in that group (excluding patients or inmates in institutional quarters). X = Not applicable. . . . = Not available.

White alone refers to people who reported White and did not report any other race category. The use of this single-race population does not imply that it is the preferred method of presenting or analyzing the data. The Census Bureau uses a variety of approaches. Information on people who reported more than one race, such as White and American Indian and Alaska Native or Asian and Black or African American, is available from Census 2000 through American FactFinder. About 2.6 percent of people reported more than one race in Census 2000.

3Full implementation of 1970 census-based sample design. 4Implementation of a new CPS ASEC processing system. Questionnaire expanded to ask 11 income questions. 5Some of these estimates were derived using Pareto interpolation and may differ from published data that were derived using linear interpolation. 6First-year medians were derived using both Pareto and linear interpolation. Before this year, all medians were derived using linear interpolation. 7Implementation of 1980 census population controls. Questionnaire expanded to show 27 possible values from a list of 51 possible sources of income. 8Implementation of Hispanic population weighting controls and introduction of 1980 census-based sample design. 9Recording of amounts for earnings from longest job increased to $299,999.

1Implementation of a new Curent Population Survey (CPS) Annual Social and Economic Supplements (ASEC) processing system. 2Introduction of 1970 census sample design and population controls. 3Full implementation of 1970 census-based sample design. 4Implementation of a new CPS ASEC processing system. Questionnaire expanded to ask 11 income questions. 5Some of these estimates were derived using Pareto interpolation and may differ from published data that were derived using linear interpolation. 6First-year medians were derived using both Pareto and linear interpolation. Before this year, all medians were derived using linear interpolation. 7Implementation of 1980 census population controls. Questionnaire expanded to show 27 possible values from a list of 51 possible sources of income. 8Implementation of Hispanic population weighting controls and introduction of 1980 census-based sample design. 9Recording of amounts for earnings from longest job increased to $299,999. Full implementation of 1980 census-based sample design. 10Implementation of a new CPS ASEC processing system. 11Implementation of 1990 census population controls. 12Data collection method changed from paper and pencil to computer-assisted interviewing. In addition, the 1994 ASEC was revised to allow for the coding of different income amounts on

Hispanic origin was reported by 12.1 percent of White householders who reported only one race, 2.9 percent of Black householders who reported only one race, 27.7 percent of Amerian Indian and Alaska Native householders who reported only one race, and 9.5 percent of Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander householders who reported only one race. Data users should exercise caution when interpreting aggregate results for the Hispanic population and for race groups, because these populations consist of many distinct groups that differ in socioeconomic characteristics, culture, and recentness of immigration. Data were first collected for Hispanics in 1972. . . . = Not available.
