NOTAS ACLARATODRIALS
ENCUSSTA DE VIVIENDAS
La informaci6n que se present
en este inforae se basa en una en-
cuesta realizada por el Negociado
de Etdstdsticas-del Trabajo en una
.uestra de viviendas representatives
de la poblaci6n de Puerto Rico. La
encuesta se realize mensualmente en
una muestra de alrededor de 6,000
viviendas.
En cada vivienda entrevistada,
se hacen varias preguntas acerca de
cada uno de los miembros de 16 afios
y ams de edad, con el fin de deter-
minar si estin eapleados, desemplea-
dos, o fuera del grupo trabajador;
asi como preguntas relacionadas con
la ocupaci6n, industrial, horas traba-
Jadas y otras caracteristicas do
estas personas.
Se usa como period de referen-
cia unasemana fija, aquella que con-
tiene el dia 12 del mes. La encuesta
se llev aa cabo durante la semana
imaediatamente despu6s de la semana
de referencia.
Debido a que s61o se estudia una
muestra de todas las viviendas en
Puerto Rico, es necesario inflar las
cifras obtenidas en la encuoeta para
ast obtener estimados de enpleo y
desemploo para toda la poblaci6n. La
information obtenida de la muestra se
infla a estimados de la poblaci6a
"ivil no institutional de 16 afios y
HOUSEHOLD SURVEY
The information presented in this report
is based on a survey carried out by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics in a sample of
households representing a cross section of
the population of Puerto Rico. The survey
is carried out on a monthly basis in a sam-
pie of around 6,000 households.
In each household interviewed, a num-
ber of questions are asked concerning each
household member 16 years old and over, in
order to ascertain if they are employed, un-
employed, or not in the labor force; as well
as questions related to occupation, industry,
hour worAed and other characteristics regar-
ding these persons.
A fixed reference week is used, namely
the one containing the twelfth of the month,
The survey is carried out in the week
immediately after the reference week.
Due to the fact that only a sample of
all households of Puerto Rico is studied,
it is necessary to inflate the figures
obtained in the survey, in order to obtain
estimates of employment and unmeployment for
the whole population. The information
obtained from the sample is inflated to
estimates of the civilian noninstitutional
pop-' tion 16 years old and over,

by age and sex groups.
These estimates are prepared as follows:
First, an estimate of the total population
of Puerto Rico is obtained from the Planning
Board. This is computed on the basis of the
results of the April 1970 Population census,
taking into account the changes occurred in
the population due to natural increase (bir-
ths and death) auid net migration. This to-
tal population figure is adjusted to obtain
civilian nouinstitutional population, by
subtracting estLimCtes of the number of per-
sons in tbh Arded Forces and of the institu-
tional pop?'ation. Finally, the civilian
noniastitutioenal population is broken down
by age and sex groups, according to the dis-
tribution cbserv-d 'in the sample during the
latest twelve months.
The estimates presented here are
affected by the chance variation of the
sample used. In general, the larger the
figure reported, the greater the reliability
of the estimates. Because of this varia-
bility, too much emphasAs should not be pla-
ced on small differences.
The figures published do not always
add to the totals due to rounding. Percen-
tages have been computed from unrounded
figures.

CLAS1PICACION INDUSTRIAL
Debido a que la informaci6n de
esta encuesta se obtiene en las
viviendas y la mayor part de las
veces el informant no es la persona
a quien se refieren los datos; no es
possible hacer una clasificaciOn
industrial tan precise cOmo la que
se lleva a cabo para la encuesta de
Empleo, Boras y Salarios basados en
las n6minas de los establecimientos,
que realize este mismo Negociado.
Estas dos encuestas se comple-
mentan, ya queen la-de establaci-
aientos no es possible obtener un
estimado global de empleo que incluya
a las personas que trabajan por su
cuenta y a las que trabajan sin paga
Information is obtained on the earnings
of the employees during the reference week.
From these data estimates of median weekly
earnings by industry, and occupational
groups, are prepared.
Nut included in these estimates are the
earnings of those workers classified as "with
a job but not at work". These persons had a
job from which they were temporarily absent
due to illness, vacations, bad weather, indus-
trial disputes, or layoff with instructions to
return to work within 30 days of layoff.
INDUSTRIAL CLASSIFICATION
Due to the fact that the information of
this survey is obtained from households, and,
in most cases, the respondent is not the per-
son to whom the data refers; it is not
possible to make an industrial classification
as accurate as the one that is made in the
survey on Employment, Hours and Earnings
based on establishments payrolls which is
also carried on by this Bureau.
These two surveys are complementary
since the establishment survey does not
provide for an overall employment estimate,
including the selfemployed and unpaid fa-
mily workers.

Nor does it provide the means to estimate
unemployment and other characteristic of
the labor force.
In view of the limitations of the
household survey with regard to industrial
classification, users are advised to pre-
for the employment estimates by industry

based on the establishment survey.
CONSUMER PRICE INgBEX
The Consumer Price Index for Wage Ear-
ners' Families measures, between two given
periods, the average change in the retail
prices of the goods and services usually
purchased by wage earners' families in
Puerto Rico.
It is calculated using 1967 100 as
the base period. Therefore, the index
measures the relative drop or increase in
the prices with respect to the average re-
corded in calendar year 1967.
For the computation of the index the
prices of about 193 different goods and ser-
vices are compiled. This group of goods and
services was obtained from the 1963 Family
Income and Expenditures Study, and was selec-
ted in such a way as to represent the ordi-
nary consumption of .age earners' families.

Conceptos
Estableciliento -- Fibrica o plant
done se desarrolla una actividad
manufacturer. En aquellos casos en
que una firma tenia una o aAs fabri-
cas en distintos locales que elaboran
el mismo product y tenla una sola
n6mina, se obtuvo un solo informe.
En los casos en que una firma se dedi-
caba a distintas actiVidades manufac-
tureras y tenia n6minas separadas se
hizo un informed para cada actividad.
Industrial Consiste de un grupo de
estableciaientos dedicados principal-
mente a un iismo grupo y lines siai-
lares de actividad econ6mica.
The prices of the different goods and
services are compiled every, month at a
determinate number of retail outlets usually
patronized by wage earners' families,
These goods and services have been
classified in four major groups, namely:
Food, Housing, Clothing and Related Services,
and Miscellaneous Goods and Services. These
in turn, have been regrouped in subgroups
and special groups.
ESTABLISHMENTS SURVEY
Concepts
Establi3-3ent -- A single physical location
at which .n employer carries on his busi-
ness activities. In those cases in which a
firm was operating establishments at more
than one location, but all the plants were
manufacturing the same product and kept one
payroll, no separate reports were filled
out for each establishment. For firms
engaged in different manufacturing activi-
ties, separate forms were filled out for
each activity whenever separate payrolls
were available.
Industry -- Consists of a group of establish-
ments primarily engaged in the same line or
similar lines of economic activity.
Industrias Manufactureras -- Incluye
aquellos establteciWentos general-
mente conocidos como plants, fabricas,
o aolinos que.se dedican a la trans-
foraci6n aecinica o quimica de subs-
tancias orgAnlcas o inorgAnicas en
nuevos pioductos. Lofs materials
elaborados per estos establecieientos
incluycn products agricolas, fores-
tales, pesqueros y de. ineria. E1
product puede ser "terminado" en el
sentido de que est listo para dis-
tribuci6n o puede eer "semiterminado"
para ser usado como material prima en
la manufacture de otros productss.
FPbrica Proaovida por la Administra-
cidn de Foaento EconOmico-- Una f
brica promovida per Fomento es
aquella que se haya establecido en
Puerto Rico coao resultado, cuando
aenos en parte, de esfuerzos hechos
por la Administraci6n de Fomento
Econ6mico o la Coapalia de Pomento
Industrial. Est~e esfuerzos incluyen
anuacios, publicidad, promoci6n,
investigaci6n, oferta de un edificio
en alquiler o en otras condiciones,
pr6stamos, inversi6n de capital, ayu-
da en la selecciOn y adiestraniento
de trabajadores, y en la adquisicifn
de otros tipos de inoornalt6n y
asistencia para el coaienso de opera-
clones.
Manufacturing Industries -- Comprises those
establishments coamoly known as plants,
factories or mills which are .engaged in the
manufacture of new products from organic or
inorganic substances by mechanical or che-
mical means. The materials processed in
these establishments include products of
agriculture, fishing, forestry and mining.
The product may be "finished" in the sense
that it is ready for distribution or say be
semifinished and used as raw material for
the manufacture of other products.
Plant Promoted by the Economic Develolpent
Administration -- A oamento promoted plant
or -A-pronoted plant, is one which has
been established in Puerto Rico at least
partly as the result of efforts made by the
Economic Development Administration or the
Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company.
Such efforts include advertising, publicity,
promotion, research, provision or a buil-
ding on rental or other basis, loans, inves-
vestment of equity capital, help in selec-
tion or training of workers, and the provi-
sion of other information and assistance in
making startingup arrangements1

Excludes those persons who were hired
but did not report to work during the period
nor the propietors, members of unincorporated
firm, pensioners, mbers of the Armed Forces
and unpaid family workers.
Since the Bureau of Labor Statistics
employment figures are based on the establish-
aent's payroll records, persons who worked in
more than one establishment during the repor-
ting period are counted more than once. Thus,
the total. employraent count is not a measure of
the number of available fulltime jobs, or an
unduplicated count of paid workers. The fi-
gures represent the total number of persons
employed i manufacturing establishments
during the specified payroll period.

Average Hourly and Weekly arningA --
Average earnings for manufacturing indus-
tries are in a "gross basis". The average
earnings reflect not only changes in basic
hourly and incentive wage rates, but also
such factors as premium pay for overtime
and late shift work. They also reflect the
changes in output of workers paid on an
por tarea. Este proaedio es afec-
tado tambi6n por las variaciones
en el empleo de obreros en ocupacjo-
nes con salario de tipos altos y bajos,
y por luos cambios en salaries pagados
por el estableclmiento.
E1 salario proaedio por hora no
debe confundirse con el tipo de sala-
rio por hora. Salario promedio se
refiere a la paga de hecho recibida
por el obrero por un period especl-
fico de tieapo; tipo de salario es
Ia paga estipulada por una unidad de
tempo o de producci6bn
Sin embargo, el salario proxedio
no debe interpretarse coso el cost
total de la mano de obra, ya que no
include las siguientes partidan:
Lonas pagados irregularmente, pagos
retroactivos, aportaciones del pa-
trono al fondo de seguridad social,
contribuciones sobre n6minas

incentive basis. Employment shifts between
relative high paid and low paid work and
changes in workers earnings in individual
establishments also affect the general ear-
nings average.
Average hourly earnings should not be
confused with wage rates. Earnings refer
to the actual return to the workers for a
stated period of time, rates are the amounts
stipulated for a given unit of workers or
time.
However, the average earnings should
not be interpreted as representing total
labor costs, since the following iteas are
excluded: irregular bonuses, retroactive
items, payments for welfare benefits, pay-
roll taxes paid by employers, and earnings
for those employees not covered under the
production workers definitions.
Average weekly earnings are affected
by changes in average hourly earnings, and
in the length of the workweek. They ?*
