  EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES IN FOREIGN-OWNED BUSINESSES IN THE UNITED STATES,
                           FOURTH QUARTER  1991
 
 
     Employment in foreign-owned business establishments in the United
States averaged 4.8 million, or 5.4 percent of total private employment, in
the fourth quarter of 1991, according to preliminary data released today by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor.  Workers in
foreign-owned U.S. establishments earned about $2,700 per month on average,
23 percent more than workers in all U.S. establishments in the private
sector in fourth quarter 1991.
 
     This news release is based on data derived by matching information
from the Covered Employment and Wages (ES-202) program of BLS and the
Annual Survey of Foreign Direct Investment of the Bureau of Economic
Analysis (BEA) of the U.S. Department of Commerce.  The data contained in
this news release refer to private sector employment and wages for workers
covered by state unemployment insurance programs.
 
Average Monthly Employment
 
     Employment in foreign-owned U.S. establishments as a percentage of
employment in all U.S. establishments varied among industries.  In fourth
quarter 1991, the major industry divisions with the highest percentage of
employment in foreign-owned establishments were mining (15.8 percent) and
manufacturing (10.4 percent).  In absolute numbers, three industries in
other divisions had the highest levels of employment in foreign-owned
establishments--grocery stores and eating and drinking places in retail
trade and hotels and motels in services.  (See tables 1 and 2.)
 
     At least half of the employment in foreign-owned establishments was in
businesses owned by British, Japanese, or Canadian investors.  (See
table 10.)
 
     Among states, the proportion of employment in foreign-owned
establishments ranged from highs of 14.6 percent in Delaware and 12.1
percent in Hawaii to lows of 1.6 percent in North Dakota and 2.1 percent in
South Dakota.  (See table 8.)
 
     The five counties with the most employment in foreign-owned U.S.
establishments were Los Angeles County, Calif.; New York County, N.Y.; Cook
County, Ill.; Harris County, Tex.; and Dallas County, Tex.  (These five
counties had the highest levels of employment for all U.S. counties.)  (See
table 9.)
 
                                  - 2 -
 
Average Monthly Wages
 
     In all industry divisions except services, employees in foreign-owned
establishments earned higher wages than their counterparts in all U.S.
establishments.  This pattern reflects many factors, including possible
differences in occupational mix and industry concentration.  The largest
wage differences occurred in agriculture; finance, insurance, and real
estate; and construction.  Foreign-owned establishments paid 43, 42 and 39
percent more, respectively, than the average monthly wage for workers in
all U.S. establishments in those divisions.  The only industry division
where workers in foreign-owned establishments earned lower wages was
services, where wages paid by foreign-owned establishments were 3 percent
less than in all U.S. establishments.  In addition to salaries, wages
include bonuses, the cash value of lodging and meals when supplied, tips
and other gratuities, and, in some states, employer contributions to 401(k)
plans.  (See table 1.)
 
     In each state, wages were higher for workers in foreign-owned
establishments than for workers as a whole.  (They were lower in the
District of Columbia.)  The ratio of wages in foreign-owned establishments
to wages in all establishments ranged from 102.2 percent in New Hampshire
to 166.9 percent in Wyoming.  (The ratio of wages in foreign-owned
establishments to wages in all establishments for the District of Columbia
was 83.0 percent).  (See table 8.)
 
     Among the 50 counties with the highest levels of employment in
foreign-owned establishments, New Castle County, Del., had the highest wage
ratio (152.8 percent) and Nassau County, N.Y., the lowest (89.3 percent).
(See table 9.)

Technical Note
 
 
     These data are the result of a cooperative effort between the
Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and the Department
of Commerce's Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) as mandated by Congress in
the Foreign Direct Investment and International Financial Data Improvements
Act of 1990.  Data from the BEA Annual Survey of Foreign Direct Investment
in the United States in 1991 were used to identify foreign-owned
establishments in the database of the BLS Covered Employment and Wages (ES-
202) Program.  Data included in this release are for the 50 states and the
District of Columbia.  (Data for the fourth quarter of 1990 were issued on
Oct. 20, 1992, in USDL-92-663.)
 
BLS data
     Data from the ES-202 program, which is a Federal-State cooperative
program, are a by-product of the administration of state unemployment
insurance (UI) programs.  These data are derived from the quarterly tax
reports submitted to State Employment Security Agencies (SESA's) by
employers subject to state UI laws and Federal agencies subject to the
Unemployment Compensation for Federal Employees (UCFE) program.  Aggregates
of these data are published annually in the Employment and Wages bulletin.
     The ES-202 database includes only those employees who are covered by
UI or UCFE programs.  The employment total on the database was
approximately 96 percent of total wage and salary civilian employment in
1991.  ES-202 data do not include most agricultural workers on small farms,
most employees of railroads, most domestic workers, most student workers
at schools,  and employees of certain small nonprofit organizations.  Other
exclusions are most self-employed individuals and all unpaid family
members.
     ES-202 employment data beginning in 1991 may not be strictly
comparable with data from prior years due to improved reporting procedures
by some employers.
 
BEA data
     BEA collects information on foreign direct investment through its
Annual Survey  of  Foreign Direct Investment in the United States and its
Benchmark Survey of Foreign Direct Investment in the United States
conducted every 5 years.  Under the authority of the International
Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act, all nonbanking firms which are
at least 10 percent foreign-owned and whose sales, income, or assets
exceeded $10 million at the end of their fiscal year which ended in
calendar 1991 were required to report in the 1991 annual survey.  The
benchmark survey covers both banks and nonbanks with sales, income, or
assets greater than $1 million.  All data are collected at the enterprise
level.  Among the data items collected are country of ownership; percent of
foreign-ownership; industry of sales; total assets; expenditures in
property, plant and equipment; sales; net income; wages and compensation;
employment; acres of land owned; and exports and imports.
     All BEA industry data are based on the 3-digit International Surveys
Industry (ISI) coding system.  This system is an aggregation of detailed
codes contained in the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification Manual (SIC)
and is used in BEA international surveys.  The ISI coding system has 135
separate classifications compared to approximately 1,000 in the SIC coding
 
                                  - 4 -
 
system.  The BEA data used in preparing these statistics are for fiscal
year 1991.  They include data for affiliates reported in the 1991 annual
survey and estimates for affiliates that were in the universe but not in
the annual sample.  While the threshold for a business to be considered
foreign-owned is 10 percent  or more ownership by a foreign firm, firms
that are more than 50 percent foreign-owned accounted for 80 percent of
total assets and 82 percent of the employment of all nonbank U.S.
affiliates.
 
BLS/BEA data link procedure
     Foreign-owned establishments in the ES-202 database were identified
through an initial match to the BEA foreign direct investment enterprise
data using an identification number which the two files have in common.
Additional establishments not identified in the initial computer data link
were added after research by BLS staff using company names, geographic
information, industry information, and secondary sources.  The resulting
subset of establishment data was augmented with information from the BEA
data, such as the country of ownership, to produce a new BLS dataset for
foreign-owned establishments.
     Approximately 57 percent of BEA affiliates were linked to one or more
ES-202 establishments.  Employment in these BEA affiliates was 99 percent
of the total BEA employment for foreign-owned firms.
 
Industry exceptions
     Although foreign-owned banks must report in BEA's benchmark and
quarterly surveys of foreign direct investment in the United States, they
are exempt from reporting in the annual survey used by BLS for the link
project.  Information on foreign-owned banks was, therefore, obtained from
the Federal Reserve Board and matched to ES-202 establishment data.  Some
of the Federal Reserve data on U.S. chartered banks which are foreign-owned
are collected from secondary sources.  In addition, some U.S. offices of
foreign banks may not be included in these data because they do not meet
the Federal Reserve definition for bank branches or agencies.
     Because most railroad employees are not covered by state unemployment
insurance programs, data on the railroad industry are not included in this
release, although they are included in the BEA annual series.
 
Definitions
     Establishments.  An individual establishment is generally defined as a
single physical location at which one, or predominantly one, type of
economic activity is conducted.  Most employers covered under the state UI
laws operate only one place of business.
     Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes.  Industrial codes are
assigned by state agencies to each establishment based on responses to
questionnaires where employers indicate their principal product or
activity.  If an employer conducts different activities at various
establishments, separate industrial codes are assigned, to the extent
possible, to each.
     In order to ensure the highest possible quality of data from the ES-
202 program, BLS verifies and updates, if necessary, the SIC, location, and
type of ownership of all establishments on a 3-year cycle.  In 1990, all
establishments in the services division were sent a questionnaire to obtain
the latest information.  Changes in these classification codes resulting
from this survey were introduced with the data developed for the first
 
                                  - 5 -
 
quarter of 1991.  Thus, some data in the services division, especially at
the 4-digit SIC level, may not be strictly comparable with the 1990 data.
     Average monthly employment.  Average monthly employment is calculated
by taking the sum of employment for the pay period including the 12th day
of each month in the fourth quarter of 1991 and dividing this number by  3.
     Average monthly wages.  Average monthly wages is calculated by taking
the total wages for the fourth quarter of 1991 and dividing it by the sum
of employment for the 3 months.  In addition to salaries, wages include
bonuses, the cash value of lodging and meals when supplied, tips and other
gratuities, and employer contributions to certain deferred compensation
plans such as 401(k) plans in some states.  Employer contributions for old-
age, survivors, and disability insurance, health insurance, unemployment
insurance, workers' compensation, and private pension and welfare funds are
not reported as wages.  On the other hand, employee contributions for the
same purposes, as well as money withheld for payment of income taxes, union
dues, etc., are reported even though they are deducted from the worker's
gross pay.  Average monthly wages is affected by the ratio of full-time to
part-time workers as well as by the number of individuals in high-paying
and low-paying occupations.
     Percent of total employment.  The percent of total employment in
foreign-owned establishments is the average monthly employment for foreign-
owned establishments divided by the average monthly employment for
establishments in the ES-202 database for comparable levels.
     Wage ratio.  The wage ratio in foreign-owned establishments is the
average monthly wages in foreign-owned establishments divided by the
average monthly wages for all establishments in the ES-202 database for
comparable levels.
     Ultimate beneficial owner.  An ultimate beneficial owner of a foreign-
owned establishment is the entity, proceeding up the establishment's
ownership structure beginning with the first entity outside the United
States, which is not owned more than 50 percent by another entity.  The
ultimate beneficial owner may be a for-profit business enterprise, a non-
profit organization, an individual, a government agency, etc.  The country
of the ultimate beneficial owner may be the United States if the direct
foreign parent of the U.S. investment is, in turn, owned by a U.S.
individual, firm or other organization.
 
Employment and wage data in tables 3, 5, 6, and 7
     Only industries in which employment in foreign-owned establishments is
at least 5 percent of the total U.S. employment for comparable SIC levels
are shown in tables 3, 5, 6, and 7.
