  • Employment and UnemploymentDevelopments, January 1980

    Unemployment rose in January, and there were con-trasting developments in employment. Due to a rise injoblessness among adult men, the Nation's unemploy-ment rate increased over the month from 5.9 to 6.2 per-cent, the highest rate since July 1978.

    Total employment—as measured by the monthly sur-vey of households—showed little overall change inJanuary, although there were diverse movements amongadult men and women jobholders. Consistent with theirrise in unemployment, employment among adult menwas down markedly, while the number of adult womenholding jobs increased.

    In contrast to total employment, nonfarm payrollemployment—as measured by the monthly survey ofestablishments—rose by about 300,000 in January to90.5 million.

    UnemploymentThe number of persons unemployed increased

    340,000 in January to 6.4 million. Most of this upturnoccurred among persons who were laid off or otherwiselost their last jobs. Over the past year, the joblesstotal has risen by 610,000. (See tables A-33 and A-39.)

    With the increase in the level of unemployment, theNation's jobless rate rose three-tenths of a point to6.2 percent. The jobless rate had remained within thenarrow range of 5.7 to 5.9 percent over the prior 17-month period.

    The January increase in unemployment was concen-trated among adult men; their rate rose from 4.2 to4.7 percent, the highest since November 1977. The in-crease was shared by both black and white men. In con-trast, the rates for adult women (5.8 percent) and teen-agers (16.3 percent) were about unchanged over themonth. Strong increases were also registered in thecyclically sensitive unemployment rates for marriedmen, full-time workers, blue-collar workers, andworkers in durable goods manufacturing. (See tableA-36.)

    There was no change in the number of nonfarm work-ers on part-time work schedules for economic reasons(sometimes termed the "partially unemployed''),following large increases in the last quarter of 1979.(See table A-42.)

    Total employment and the labor forceTotal employment was little changed in January, but

    there were offsetting movements among adult men andwomen. There was a drop of 200,000 in the number ofmen with jobs, while employment among adult womenrose by 170,000. Employment also fell in the male-dominated blue-collar occupations. Employment wasup by 1.7 million from January 1979, the smallestoVer-the-year increase since January 1976. (See tablesA-33 and A-42.)

    The civilian labor force grew by 230,000 from Decem-ber and was up 2.3 million from a year ago. Adultwomen accounted for the bulk of these increases. Theirlabor force participation rate reached a new high of51.4 percent, while that of men and teenagers edgeddown over the month.

    Industry payroll employmentNonfarm payroll employment rose to 90.5 million in

    January, up 305,000 from the December level. Contri-buting to this increase was a net reduction in strikeactivity of approximately 50,000.

    The bulk of the January employment growth oc-curred in the service-producing industries. Gains wereregistered throughout the sector, with the most sizeableincreases in trade (130,000), services (55,000), andtransportation and public utilities (30,000).

    Within the goods-producing sector, the constructionindustry posted an employment gain of 65,000. Overallemployment in manufacturing was about unchanged.There was a decline of nearly 60,000 in transportationequipment, due to job cutbacks in automobiles andparts, and smaller decreases in fabricated metal prod-ucts and food processing. These were about offset by areturn of striking workers in the machinery industry,coupled with small increases in several other industries,primarily in the nondurable goods sector. Employmentin mining remained near its December level.

    Over the past year, payroll jobs have increased by2.0 million, with 85 percent of the gain occurring inthe service-producing sector. (See tables B-l and B-4.)

    HoursThe average workweek of production or nonsuper-

    visory workers on private nonagricultural payrollsremained at 35.7 hours in January, a level maintainedsince November. Movements were small and generallyoffsetting among the major industries. In manufactur-ing, average hours and overtime both edged up a tenth

  • of an hour to 40.4 and 3.3 hours, respectively. (Seetable C-7.)

    The index of aggregate weekly hours remained at126.7 (1967 = 100) in January and has risen by only1.8 percent since January 1979. The manufacturing in-dex, however, has decreased by 2.2 percent over the pastyear. (See table C-8.)

    Hourly and weekly earningsAverage hourly earnings of production or nonsuper-

    visory workers on private nonagricultural payrollsrose 0.3 percent in January and were up 7.4 percent overthe year (seasonally adjusted). Average weekly earningsalso rose 0.3 percent from December and were 7.1 per-cent above the January 1979 level.

    Before adjustment for seasonality, average hourlyearnings rose 3 cents in January to $6.41 and were 44cents above January 1979. Average weekly earningswere $224.99, down $4.69 from December but still up$14.85 over the year. (See tables C-l and C-9.)

    The Hourly Earnings IndexThe Hourly Earnings Index—earnings adjusted for

    overtime in manufacturing, seasonality, and the effectsof changes in the proportion of workers in high-wageand low-wage industries—was 239.8 (1967 = 100) inJanuary, 0.2 percent higher than in December. The In-dex was 7.7 percent above January a year ago. In dollarsof constant purchasing power, the Index decreased 4.5percent during the 12-month period ended in December.(See table C-9.)

  • Revisions in the Current Popula-tion Survey in January 1980

    • Deborah Lorah

    The household data on labor force status and charac-teristics of the population are compiled monthly fromthe Current Population Survey (CPS), which is con-ducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by theBureau of the Census. The CPS is a probability sampleof households and other living quarters designed toproduce data on the civilian noninstitutional popula-tion.1 Beginning in January 1980, the published house-hold data are derived from a sample which has beenexpanded by about 9,000 households in 32 States andthe District of Columbia to a total of 65,000 house-holds nationwide. The additional sample will improvethe reliability of State estimates and is not expected toproduce any changes in level for national estimates oflabor force characteristics. This article discusses themethods used to select samples for the CPS, comparesthe most recent expansion with the earlier samples, anddiscusses estimating procedures and the reliability of theestimates with the expanded sample.

    Sampling methods

    AC sample. Through December 1977, the publishedhousehold data were derived from a sample of 47,000households designed to produce national estimates (theAC sample). The national AC sample was selected intwo stages after the 1970 Decennial Census, usingcensus listings and counts.

    The country was first divided into primary samplingunits (PSU's), which are typically counties or groups ofcounties. The PSU's were then grouped into strata.PSU's with large populations constituted strata bythemselves and were in the sample with certainty. Forstrata which contained more than one PSU, threesample PSU's were selected with probability propor-tionate to size to represent every two strata. Thesenational strata were created within the four census re-gions, but without regard to State lines.

    In the second stage of sampling, clusters containingan expected four housing units were selected in such amanner that each housing unit in the United Stateswould have an equal probability of selection.

    D sample. From January 1978 through December1979, the household survey was based on a largersample—56,000 households—designed to produce reli-able annual average estimates of unemployment foreach State. This expanded sample was created by addingapproximately 9,000 housing units (the D sample) in 24States and the District of Columbia to the national ACsample. The D sample was designed to maximize the useof the AC sample to produce State estimates. Stateswhich did not meet the reliability requirement (an ex-pected coefficient of variation of 10 percent on theannual average unemployment level, assuming a 6-percent unemployment rate) and which did not alreadyhave all their PSU's in the sample were restratifiedas follows: AC sample PSU's in a State are also in thesample for the State, and each of these PSU's representsthe portion of its national stratum in the State. Por-tions of national strata in a State which were suffi-ciently large were subdivided. PSU's from nationalstrata and subdivided national strata for which therewere no sample PSU's in the State were regrouped intostrata within the State. Then one PSU was selectedto represent each new "State-stratum" with probabilityproportionate to the PSU population.

    Within each State requiring supplementation, sampleclusters of housing units were selected from the newsample PSU's and from the AC PSU's as needed, usingthe same procedures as for the national sample. Thetotal number of additional sample housing units select-ed for a State depended on the sample size re-quired to achieve the desired reliability and the numberof housing units already in the AC sample in the State.The procedures for collecting the data and the rotationpattern are the same in both samples. The additionalState samples were designed in such a manner that theexpected values of the sample estimates for the AC andD samples should be equal.

  • B sample. For the latest expansion of the sample for thehousehold survey, the B sample, the requirementswere similar to those of the D sample: The combinedsamples should meet the reliability requirement (anexpected coefficient of variation of 10 percent on thequarterly average unemployment level, assuming anunemployment rate of 6 percent); the sample designand procedures should be compatible with the cor-responding features of the AC and D samples; andthe same rotation pattern should be used. Supplementa-tion occurred only in States not having a samplesize sufficient to meet the specified reliability.

    Two methods were considered for increasing the re-liability for quarterly estimates. One sample size wascomputed assuming the existing stratification would bemaintained. If this sample size was less than the cur-rent size, the State already met the reliability require-ment. If not, a second sample size was computed assum-ing the State would be restratified in a manner similarto the D sample restratification. Comparing the twosample sizes for those States requiring supplementationled to a decision on which method should be used.Generally, if two or more interviewer workloads, 100 ormore households, could be saved by restratifying, thenthe State was restratified. Only 3 of the 33 States re-quiring supplementation were restratified. These newstrata, like the D sample strata, do not cross Stateboundaries. In States which had already been restrati-fied for the D sample, no attempted restratificationmade efficient use of the existing sample.

    In the restratified States, one PSU was selected withprobability proportionate to size from each new stratumwhich did not already contain a sample PSU. Then ineach State, clusters of housing units were drawn fromeach sample PSU (including those chosen for the ACand D designs). The total number of additional samplehousing units selected for a State depended on thesample size required to achieve the desired reliabilityand the number of housing units already in sample inthe State. The procedure for collecting the data and therotation pattern were the same in all three samples. TheB sample was also designed so that the expected valueof the sample estimates would not be changed.

    Differences in sample supplementation. Although ingeneral, the same procedures were used for both the Dand B expansions, the method of supplementation wasdifferent. In the D sample, every supplemented Statewas restratified, unless all the PSU's were already inthe sample. This meant that, in the D sample, the cur-rent and new sample PSU's could be considered as hav-

    ing been drawn from the State strata. In the B sampleexpansion, only three of the supplemented States wererestratified; some of the supplemented States were neverrestratified for either the B or D samples. In the eightAC sample States supplemented but not restratified forthe B sample, no new PSU's were selected; the existingsample PSU's were drawn from the national stratawhich frequently cross State boundaries. Fifteen Stateswere never supplemented or restratified for either theD or B samples, so that their strata also cross Stateboundaries.

    Estimation procedureThe CPS estimation procedure involves multiplying

    the basic weights—the inverse of the probability ofselection for a housing unit—by factors which adjustfor household noninterview and for differences betweensample proportions and known population proportionsin certain age, sex, race, and residence categories. The"Estimating Methods" section in the ExplanatoryNotes describes these adjustments and their purposes.The estimation procedure for the combined ABCDsample in use beginning in January 1980 is the same asthe one used from January 1979 through December1979 for the combined ACD sample.

    Data have been collected from the B sample sinceApril 1979. A comparison of several months data fromthe ACD and ABCD samples has revealed no patternsof bias or unexplained significant differences betweenthe samples.

    Reliability of the estimatesBoth sampling and nonsampling errors are possible in

    data from sample surveys (see the section in the Ex-planatory Notes on the reliability of the estimates forhousehold data). In both the ACD and B samples, theextent of the nonsampling error is unknown. However,it is expected that the nonsampling error for bothshould be about the same, since the same questionnaire,data collection and processing procedures, and rotationscheme are used.

    The standard errors for household data presented inthe Explanatory Notes are primarily a measure of thesampling error for the AC sample. They do not reflectthe use of the additional units in either the D or Bsamples. The magnitude of the sampling error for thefull ABCD sample has not yet been measured; however,any reduction in the variance of national estimatesresulting from the increase in sample size is expectedto be negligible. Addition of the B sample was designedto improve reliability at the State level; it does notimprove the reliability of the national estimates.
