Data For 1941 To February 1943 Refer To All Persons With Jobs; Thereafter Data Refer To Persons Actually At Work. The Survey Week, That Containing The 8Th Of The Month Has A Holiday. Starting July 1955 The Survey Week Was Shifted To The Week Containing The 12Th Of The Month. The Effect Of The Holiday Has Been Eliminated Through 1954 By Interpolation. Starting 1955, Hours Are Adjusted For Holiday Weeks On The Basis Of The Formula Worked Out By NBER. Holiday Adjustments Are Made Prior To Seasonal Adjustment.
