Glossary & Technical Notes Average Hourly Earnings/Average Weekly Earnings/ Average Weekly Hours

(CES/BLS) - average total money earnings, in the survey week (i.e., the week that

includes the twelfth of the month), of production workers plus nonsupervisory

workers not in production, including overtime, paid vacation and sick leave.

Civilian Labor Force - that portion of the population, age sixteen or older, which

is employed or unemployed and actively seeking employment during the refer-

ence week of the twelfth of the month.

Employed - the members of the labor force who worked for pay or

profit, or had a job from which they were temporarily absent because of

illness, vacation, labor dispute, or other reasons not reflecting a short-

age of work, or who worked fifteen hours or more as unpaid workers

in an enterprise operated by a member of the family.

Unemployed - the members of the labor force who did not work but

were seeking work or were awaiting recall from layoffs or the beginning of a

new job within thirty days.

Unemployment Rate - the number of unemployed persons expressed as a percentage of the labor force.

Continued Claim - each week claimed subsequent to the filing of the initial claim for a week of unemployment compensation.

Current Employment Statistics (CES) - estimates of nonfarm employment and

production workers hours and earnings by industry. They are produced as part of

a nationwide program, in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS),

for the state and each metropolitan statistical area (MSA) from a sample of em-

ploying establishments.

Current Population Survey (CPS) - a monthly household survey of the

U.S. population conducted for the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) by the Bureau of t h e Census, of 60,000 selected households. Respondents are interviewed to obtain information on the employment status of each household member age 16 and over, during the reference week of the twelfth.

Durable Goods - items with a normal life expectancy of three years or more.

Automobiles, furniture, household appliances, and mobile homes are examples.

Extended Layoff Event - Fifty or more initial claims for unemployment insur-

ance benefits from an establishment during a 5-week period, with at least 50

workers separated for more than 30 days.

Initial Claims - a new claim, filed to open a claim for unemployment com-

pensation.

Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) - a geographical area comprised of a parish

generally containing a central city (or twin cities) of 50,000 inhabitants or more and

contiguous parishes that are socially and economically integrated with the central

city.

Micropolitan Statistical Area (MC) - a geographical area comprised of a parish

containing a central city of at least 10,000 but less than 50,000 inhabitants

and contiguous parishes that are socially and economically integrated with

the central city.

NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) - an industry classification system that groups establishments into industries based on the activities in which they are primarily engaged.

Nonfarm Employment - employment by place of work that does not include the

self employed, unpaid family workers, domestics, or agriculture workers. All esti-

mates of nonfarm employment in this publication are in cooperation with the

U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics and include all full-time and

part-time workers who were employed during the pay period including the

twelfth of the month.

Nondurable Goods - items that generally last for only a short period of time (less

than three years). Food, beverages, apparel, and gasoline are common examples.

Seasonally Adjusted - monthly data that is adjusted to minimize the changes in any

time series which result from normal annual occurrences such as Christmas,

summer vacations, and weather patterns.

Separation - The release of persons from an employer as part of a mass layoff

event. Such releases involve both persons subject to recall and those who are

terminated by the establishment.

Subsector - refers to the three-digit NAICS code, which will fall under the partic-

ular sector. Example: If Manufacturing (31-33) is the industry sector, then Food

manufacturing (311), Paper manufacturing (322), Chemical manufacturing

(325), Transportation equipment manufacturing (336), are some of the subsectors of

manufacturing.

Supersector - refers to these five categories: Total Nonfarm, Total Private, Goods-Producing, Service-Providing, and Private Service-Providing.

Summary Industry Sector - a combination of industry sectors. A summary sector

may or may not be published. The summary industry sectors are Mining &

Logging; Construction; Manufacturing; Trade, Transportation, & Utilities; Infor-

Services; Leisure & Hospitality; Other Services; and Government.

Industry Sector - 20 industry sectors based on two-digit NAICS code. They are Agricul-

ture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting (11), Mining (21), Utilities (22), Construction

(23),Manufacturing(31-33),WholesaleTrade(42),RetailTrade(44-45),Transportation and

Warehousing (48-49), Information (51), Finance and Insurance (52), Real Estate and Rental

and Leasing (53), Professional and Technical Services (54), Management of Companies and

Enterprises (55), Administrative and Waste Services (56), EducationalServices

(61),HealthCareandSocialAssistance(62),Arts,Entertainment, and Recreation

Constraints of the monthly civilian labor force and nonfarm employment estimates:

The civilian labor force estimates are derived by a monthly survey of approximately 723 households throughout Louisiana following the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) methodology. The US Census Bureau conducts the survey by calling randomly selected households and providing BLS with sur-vey results. Households are asked for the number of residents who are sixteen and over and whether they were working or actively looking for work during the week of the twelfth of the month. Responses to these questions become part of the formula to determine the number of people employed and the num-ber of individuals unemployed for the state, MSAs, and each parish every month.

The nonfarm employment estimates are derived from responses received from the monthly BLS survey of approximately 7,000 businesses across the state. Responses capture employment activity during the 12th of each month. This survey relies on responses from these businesses to produce industry employment levels for the state and all metropolitan statistical areas.

Both data sets are comparable with estimates for the U.S., all 50 states, and 387 metropolitan areas across the U.S.
