Size refers to the number of persons whose usual place of residence at the time of the interview is in the sample unit. A consumer unit comprises either: (1) all members of a particular household who are related by blood, marriage, adoption, or other legal arrangements; (2) a person living alone or sharing a household with others or living as a roomer in a private home or lodging house or in permanent living quarters in a hotel or motel, but who is financially independent; or (3) two or more persons living together who use their income to make joint expenditure decisions. Financial independence is determined by the three major expense categories: Housing, food, and other living expenses. To be considered financially independent, at least two of the three major expense categories have to be provided entirely, or in part, by the respondent.

Series Is Presented Here As Three Variables--(1)--Original Data, 1929-1944 (2)--Original Data, 1940-1957 (3)--Original Data, 1947-1966. Unemployment Means The Difference Between The Number Of Persons In The Labor Force And The Number Of Persons Working. Negative Unemployment Arises Beginning In 1947, Unemployment Was Redefined To Include Persons On Temporary Layoff And Persons Waiting To Report For Work Within 30 Days. Beginning In 1957, A Small Group Of Students Previously Included In The Waiting Group Has Been Covered By The Category "Not In The Labor Force -- In School." 1955 And 1956 Figures, Not Published According To The New Definition, May Be Derived From Table C, P. 6, Monthly Review On The Labor Force, February 1957, And Previous Monthly Figures. Alaska And Hawaii Are Included Beginning In 1960; The Effect On The Data Is Negligible. A New Method Of Seasonal Adjustment Was Begun In 1961. Adjusted Data Are The Sum Of Four Components -- Unemployed Males And Unemployed Females, Each Group Broken Down Into Persons Under And Over 20 Years Of Age. Seasonal Ment Was Revised From April 1948 On, Then Again In March 1965 (See Monthly Report On The Labor Force, January 1965).
