                 Work Experience of the Population in 2000
     

   A total of 148.6 million persons worked at some point during 2000, an
increase of about 1 million persons from the prior year, according to the
annual survey of work experience released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the U.S. Department of Labor.  The number of individuals who experienced
some unemployment during the year continued to decline.  About 12.3 million
individuals were in this category in 2000, down about 800,000 from 1999.
   
   These data are from the March 2001 supplement to the Current Population
Survey (CPS), a monthly survey conducted by the Bureau of the Census for
the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  Additional information about this annual
supplement, including concepts and definitions, is provided in the Technical
Note.

   Highlights from the 2000 data include:

     --The proportion of the civilian noninstitutional population 16 years
       old and over that worked at some point during the year, 70.4 percent,
       was essentially unchanged from 1999.  This proportion had been trending
       upward over the past three decades.
     
     --The proportion of workers employed full time, year round continued to
       increase, rising by 1.1 percentage points to 67.0 percent, the highest
       since the series began in 1950.

     --The "work-experience unemployment rate" continued to decline for most
       of the major demographic groups.

Persons with Employment
   
   From 1999 to 2000, the proportion of the civilian noninstitutional
population 16 years old and over that worked at some point during the year
was essentially unchanged at 70.4 percent.
   
   Among those with work experience, 76.4 percent were employed year round
(either full or part time), compared with 62.3 percent in 1970.  Full-year
employment among women continued to increase, reaching 72.2 percent,
21.5 percentage points higher than in 1970.  The percentage of men employed
year round increased to 80.1 percent in 2000 from 78.9 percent in 1999.  The
proportion of workers employed full time increased by 0.9 percentage point
for women and was unchanged for men from 1999 to 2000.  (See table 1.)
   
Persons with Unemployment
   
   Of the 150 million persons who worked or looked for work at some time
in 2000, 12.3 million experienced some unemployment during the year.  The
"work-experience unemployment rate" in 2000 was 8.2 percent, 0.6 percentage
point lower than in 1999 and the lowest since the series began in 1958.
(See table 3.)
   
   The "work-experience unemployment rate" for blacks, 12.1 percent, was
higher than the rate for either Hispanics (10.5 percent) or whites
(7.6 percent).  Men had higher rates than did women in each of these three
groups, but this was especially true among blacks.  The "work-experience
unemployment rate" for black men (14.0 percent) was much higher than that
for black women (10.5 percent).  Black men were the only major group for
whom the "work-experience unemployment rate" increased from 1999 to 2000.
(See table 4.)
   
   The median number of weeks of unemployment in 2000 was 12.6, unchanged
from the prior year.  Of the 10.8 million persons who had worked during the
year and also had experienced unemployment, 28.4 percent had two or more
spells of joblessness.

   |    On November 6, BLS issued this news release on the Work Experience |
   | of the Population in 2000.  Data in the release are derived from the  |
   | Census Bureau's March 2001 Current Population Survey supplement.      |
   | Subsequent to the November 6 release, the Census Bureau discovered a  |
   | weighting error in the supplement microdata file and reissued it.  The|
   | error primarily affected the estimates for persons under the age of   |
   | 16; thus, there was a negligible impact on the information contained  |
   | in the work experience news release, which provides data for persons  |
   | age 16 and over.  For example, the number of people with work experi- |
   | ence during the year increased by 5,000 (less than .003 percent) using|  
   | the revised file.  Because the differences in the estimates were so   |
   | small, the Bureau of Labor Statistics decided not to reissue this     |
   | Work Experience news release.  Users of the release should be aware   |
   | that small differences may exist between estimates in the news release|
   | and those obtained directly from the revised public use microdata     |
   | file.                                                                 |

Technical Note
 
   The data presented in this release were collected in March supplements
to the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly sample survey conducted
by the U.S. Census Bureau for the Bureau of Labor Statistics.  Data from
the CPS are used to obtain the monthly estimates of the nation's employment
and unemployment levels.  Each March, additional questions are asked about
work activity during the prior calendar year.  For instance, data collected
in March 2001 refer to the 2000 calendar year.  Because the reference period
is a full year, the number of persons with some employment or unemployment
greatly exceeds the average levels for any given month, which are based on a
1-week reference period, and the corresponding annual average of the monthly
estimates.  As shown below, for example, the number experiencing any unemploy-
ment during 2000 was over twice the number unemployed in an average month
during the year.
 
                                     Employed        Unemployed
   2000 estimates (in thousands)
     Annual average of
       monthly estimates             135,208            5,655
     March supplement data           148,572           12,258
 
   In addition, estimates from the March supplement differ from those
obtained in the basic CPS because the questions used to classify workers
as either employed or unemployed are different.  More important, perhaps,
is that fewer questions by which to categorize respondents are asked in
the supplement.  In particular, the March supplement has no questions on
the type of job search activity or on the respondent's availability to work.
Also, individuals can be counted as both employed and unemployed in the work
experience data, whereas for a specific reference week, each person is only
counted in one category and employment activity takes precedence over job
search activity.

individuals upon request.  Voice phone:  202-691-5200; TDD message referral

Reliability of the estimates
 
   Statistics based on the CPS are subject to both sampling and nonsampling
error.  When a sample, rather than the entire population, is surveyed, there
is a chance that the sample estimates may differ from the "true" population
values they represent.  The exact difference, or sampling error, varies
depending on the particular sample selected, and this variability is measured
by the standard error of the estimate.  There is about a 90-percent chance,
or level of confidence, that an estimate based on a sample will differ by no
more than 1.6 standard errors from the "true" population value because of
sampling error.  BLS analyses are generally conducted at the 90-percent level
of confidence.
   
   The CPS data also are affected by nonsampling error.  Nonsampling error
can occur for many reasons, including the failure to sample a segment of
the population, inability to obtain information for all respondents in the
sample, inability or unwillingness of respondents to provide correct infor-
mation, and errors made in the collection or processing of the data.
   
   For a full discussion of the reliability of data from the CPS and
information on estimating standard errors, see the "Explanatory Notes and
Estimates of Error" section of Employment and Earnings.

Concepts and definitions
 
   Persons who worked.  In the March 2001 supplement, persons are considered
to have worked if they responded "yes" to either the question "Did you work
at a job or business at any time during 2000?" or "Did you do any
temporary, part-time, or seasonal work even for a few days during 2000?"

   Unemployed persons.  Persons who worked during the year but not in every
week are counted as unemployed if they also reported looking for work or
being on layoff from a job during the year.  Those who reported no work
activity during the year are considered unemployed if they responded "yes"
to the question "Even though you did not work in 2000, did you spend any
time trying to find a job or on layoff?"

   Labor force participants.  Persons who either worked or were unemployed
during the year.

   Usual full- and part-time employment.  These data refer to the number of
hours a worker typically works during most weeks of the year.  Workers are
classified as full time if they usually worked 35 hours or more in a week;
part-time employment refers to workers whose typical workweek was between
1 and 34 hours.

   Year-round  and  part-year employment.  Workers are classified as year
round if they worked 50 to 52 weeks.  Part-year employment refers to
workers who worked fewer than 50 weeks.
