Data representing employment by industry, hours of work, and average pay of production or nonsupervisory workers are from the Bureau's Current Employment Statistics program, which conducts a monthly survey of nearly 400,000 offices, stores, factories, construction sites, and all other types of workplaces except farms, households, and forestry, fishing, hunting, or trapping sites. The sample includes more than a third (36 percent) of the corresponding universe of employment.

Revisions in the current population survey effective January 1998
-
February 1998 issue
-
The Current Population Survey (CPS), a nationwide sample survey conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics by the Bureau of the Census, provides information about the demographic characteristics and employment status of the noninstitutional population aged 16 and older. The estimates of employment and over-the-year employment growth from the CPS differ from those obtained from the CES survey because of conceptual and methodological differences between the two surveys. (For an overview of these differences, see box on p. 4.) Unless otherwise noted, "over-the-year change" refers to the change from the fourth quarter of 1997 to the fourth quarter of 1998. Beginning in January 1998, data are not strictly comparable with data for 1997 and earlier years because of the introduction of new composite estimation procedures and the revision of the population controls used in the household survey. Where applicable, estimates of over-the-year change have been adjusted to account for the break in the series. For additional information, see "Revisions in the Current Population Survey Effective January 1998" in the February 1998 issue of Employment and Earnings.

The nature of employment growth, 1989-95
-
June
-
Individual cells of a matrix depicting major occupation by major industry were ranked in descending order by median weekly earnings of all wage and salary workers in 1996. These cells were then grouped into three categories - highest, middle, and lowest earnings - that each accounted for approximately one-third of total employment in 1996. An employment time series for each occupation-industry cell from January 1996 to December 1998 was developed, and data for each cell were sorted into the appropriate earnings group. For a more detailed explanation of the nature of job growth and a complete discussion of the methodology used in the analysis, see Randy E. Ilg, "The nature of employment growth, 1989-95," Monthly Labor Review, June 1996, pp. 29-36.

Beginning in January 1997, data reflect revised population controls used in the household survey; beginning in January 1998, data reflect the new composite estimation procedure. Data were not adjusted, because the magnitudes of these changes were nearly offsetting and there were no adjustments available for the separate series.

Only those specific occupation-industry groups that supplied a large proportion of the employment growth or decline are presented. For a complete list of the occupation-industry cells, see Ilg, "Nature of employment growth." Data used in the analysis presented in the current article are annual averages that have been ranked according to earnings of all wage and salary workers in 1996 and divided into equal employment groups on the basis of 1996 total employment. Therefore, because of the new ranking order, a certain number of specific occupation-industry cells may now be included in earnings groups other than those in which they originally appeared in the 1996 published research. The source of both the annual average employment data and the earnings data used in this analysis is the Current Population Survey.

BLS introduces new range of alternative unemployment measures

For additional information, see John E. Bregger and Steven E. Haugen, "BLS introduces new range of alternative unemployment measures," Monthly Labor Review, October 1995, pp. 19-26. Two of the alternative measures, U-1 and U-2, are excluded from our analysis because they focus on the duration of unemployment and reasons for unemployment, which have just been discussed.
