For each of the three major labor force components-agricultural and nonagricultural employment, and unemployment--data for four age-sex groups (male and female workers under age 20, and age 20 and over) are separately adjusted for seasonal variation and are then added to give seasonally adjusted total figures. In order to produce seasonally adjusted total employment and civilian labor force data, the appropriate series are aggregated. The seasonally adjusted rate of unemployment is derived by dividing the seasonally adjusted figure for total unemployment (the sum of four seasonally adjusted age-sex components) by the figure for the

seasonally adjusted civilian labor force (the sum of twelve seasonally adjusted age-sex components).

The seasonal adjustment factors applying to current data are based on a pattern shown by past experience. These factors are revised in the light of the pattern revealed by subsequent data, Revised seasonally adjusted series for major components of the labor force based on data through December 1966 are published in the February 1967 Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force. Revisions will be made annually as each additional year's data become available.

ATTENTION

As discussed in the Technical Note, the Bureau periodically adjusts the industry employment series to a recent benchmark to improve their accuracy. These adjustments may also affect the hours and earnings series because employment levels are used as weights. Industry data for all national series shown in this report have been adjusted to March 1966 benchmarks. Data from April 1966 forward are subject to revision at the time of the next benchmark.

Beginning with the September 1967 and subsequent issues of Employment and Earnings and Monthly Report on the Labor Force, the national data in sections B, C, and D supersede those published in previous issues, as well as those appearing in the Handbook of Labor Statistics, 1967. Comparable data are published in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the United States, 1909-67, BLS Bulletin 1312-5.

Industry titles conform to the Bureau of the Budget's standard list of short SIC titles.
