In 1951, concept was changed to coincide with the Bureau's figures for nonagricultural employment, excluding Government but including workers in all occupational groups. Tests show that percentage of total idleness computed on basis of these new figures usually differs by less than one-tenth of a point while percentage of workers idle differs by about 0.5 or 0.6 of a point. Estimated working time computed by multiplying average number of employed workers (see footnote 2) by number of days worked by most employees. No. 301.
