Future issues of the Review will no longer include the building and construction tables (F-1 through F-6). These series are being continued by the Bureau of the Census and current data may be obtained from that agency. This table is included in the January, April, July, and October issues of the Review. A.-Employment TABLE A-1. Estimated total labor force classified by employment status, hours worked, 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. Beginning with January 1957, two groups numbering between 200,000 and 300,000 which were formerly classified as employed (under "with a job but not at work") were assigned to different classifications, mostly to the unemployed. For a full explanation, see Monthly Report on the Labor Force, February 1957 (Current Population Reports, Labor Force, Series P-57, No. 176). Survey week contained legal holiday. 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 unem. ployed. SOURCE: U.8. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. TABLE A-2.
