NOTE: With the exceptions noted, the statistical series here from the Bureau of Labor Statistics are described in Techniques of Preparing Major BLS Statistical Series (BLS Bulletin 1168, 1954), and cover the United States without Alaska and Hawaii. A.-Employment TABLE A-1. Estimated total labor force classified by employment status and sex 1 Estimates are based on information obtained from a sample of households and are subject to sampling variability. Data relate to the calendar week ending nearest the 15th day of the month. The employed total includes all wage and salary workers, self-employed persons, and unpaid workers in family-operated enterprises. Persons in institutions are not included. Because of rounding, sums of individual items do not necessarily equal totals. Unemployment as a percent of labor force. Includes persons who had a job or business but who did not work during the survey week because of illness, bad weather, vacation, or labor dispute. Prior to January 1957, also included were persons on layoff with definite instructions to return to work within 30 days of layoff and persons who had new jobs to which they were scheduled to report within 30 days. Most of the persons in these groups have, since that time, been classified as unemployed. NOTE: For a description of these series, see Explanatory Notes (in Employment and Earnings, U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics current issues). Beginning in 1960, data include Alaska and Hawaii and are therefore not directly comparable with earlier data. The levels of the civilian labor force, the employed, and nonagricultural employment were each increased by more than 200,000. The estimates for agricultural employment and unemploy ment were affected so slightly that these series can be regarded as entirely comparable with pre-1960 data. TABLE A-2.
