\1\Includes all full- and part-
time wage and salary workers in
nonagricultural establishments who
received pay for any part of the pay
period which includes the 12th of
the month. Excludes proprietors,
self-employed persons, domestic
servants, and personnel of the Armed
Forces. Total in this table not
comparable with estimates of
nonagricultural employment of the
civilian labor force, shown on p.
11, which include proprietors, self-
employed persons, and domestic
servants; which count persons as
employed when they are not at work
because of industrial disputes, bad
weather, etc., even if they are not
paid for the time off; and which are
based on a sample of the working-age
population, whereas the estimates in
this table are based on reports from
employing establishments. In the
series shown here, persons who work
at more than one job are counted
each time they appear on a payroll,
in contrast to the series shown on
p. 11, where persons are counted
only once--as employed, unemployed,
or not in the labor force.
\2\Includes mining, not shown
separately.
