The industry structure has been converted to the 1957 Standard Industrial Classification; the series bave been adjusted to March 1959 benchmark levels indicated by data from government social insurance programs; and, beginning with January 1959, the estimates are prepared from a sample stratified by establishment size and, in some cases, region. For comparable back data, see Employment and Earnings Statistics for the United States, 1909-60, BLS Bulletin 1312. Statistics from April 1959 forward are subject to further revision when new benchmarks become available. In addition, data include Alaska and Hawaii beginning in January 1959. This inclusion increased the nonagricultural total by 212,000 (0.4 percent) for the March 1959 benchmark month, with increases for industry divisions ranging from 0.1 percent in mining to 0.8 percent in government. These series are based upon establishment reports which cover all full- and part-time employees in nonagricultural establishments who worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Therefore, persons who worked in more than 1 establishment during the reporting period are counted more than once. Proprietors, selfemployed persons, unpaid family workers, and domestic servants are excluded. • Preliminary. Data relate to civilian employees who worked on, or received pay for, the last day of the month. State and local government data exclude, as nominal employees, elected officials of sinall local units and paid volunteer firemen.

For mining, manufacturing, and laundries, cleaning and dyeing plants, data refer to production and related workers; for contract construction, to construction workers; and for all other industries, to nonsupervisory workers. Production and related workers include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage, handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair, Janitorial and watchmen services, product development, auxiliary production for plant's own use (e.g., power plant), and recordkeeping and other services closely associated with the above production operations. Construction workers include working foremen, Journeymen, mechanics, apprentices, laborers, etc., engaged in new work, alterations, demolition, 533.0 482.7 503.8 485.0 482.0 489.9 491.7 496.6 530.5 568.7 568.0 26.4 27.0 27.1 26.7 27.1 27.2 repair and maintenance, etc., at the site of construction or working in shop or yards at jobs (such as precutting and preassembling) ordinarily performed by members of the construction trades. Nonsupervisory workers include employees (not above the working supervisory level) such as office and clerical workers, repairmen, salespersons, operators, drivers, attendants, service employees, linemen, laborers, janitors, watchmen, and similar occupational levels, and other employees whose services are closely associated with those of the employees listed. Preliminary. Data relate to nonsupervisory employees except messengers. The revised series on employment, hours and earnings, and labor turnover in nonagricultural establishments should not be compared with those published in issues prior to December 1961. (See footnote 1, table A-2, and "Technical Note, The 1961 Revision of the BLS Payroll Employment Statistics," Monthly Labor Review, January 1962, pp. 59-62.) Moreover, if future benchmark adjustments require further revisions, the figures presented in this issue should not be compared with those in later issues which reflect the adjustments. Comparable data for earlier periods are published in Employment and Earnings Statistics for the United States, 1909-60 (BLS Bulletin 1312), which is available at depository libraries or which may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents for $3. For an individual industry, earlier data may be obtained upon request to the Bureau. |
