    \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.
