Siegel Each month the Department of Labor’ s Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the average number of weekly hours for which factory em ployees are paid. These figures are plant averages, and in addition to reflecting changes in operating hours they also vary because of time off without pay, part-time work, or em ployee turnover. To provide some background information on the underlying industrial and regional changes in establishment hours over the past few years, a special tabulation was made of the employment and hours reports sub mitted monthly to the BLS by the 44 ,000 es tablishments in its manufacturing sample. The data show the distribution of production workers in manufacturing plants working speciTable 1.

Both total em ployment and production-worker employment in May 1953 were only 200,000 below the alltime peak reached in August of that year, the month preceding the cessation of Korean hostilities. On the other hand, employment in May 1954 was 1.5 million under the year before, the second lowest level of any month during the entire period. For manufacturing as a whole, weekly hours varied by as much as l lA hours. and hours, Production workers (m i l l i o n s ) Gross average w e e k l y hours 40.7 39. 3 40.8 40.0 39.7 13.9 12.4 12.9 13.1 12. 9 fied numbers of hours for each May ( a rel atively normal month) of the past 5 years, for industry groups and 4 geographic regions. It is estimated that the BLS figures, rep resenting hours paid for, average about 2 hours less than the scheduled workweek. For example, plants on a scheduled 44-hour week pay for an average of about 42 hours per week for each production worker’ s name on the pay roll, because of absenteeism, part-time em ployment, turnover, or time off without pay for other reasons.

In May of 1955 and 1957, the production-worker employ ment levels were identical at 12,900,000 workers, but weekly hours were about 1 hour lower in the later period. In May 1957, only 25 percent of the employees were in establish ments averaging 42 or more hours (indicating a scheduled workweek of at least 44 hours), as compared with the 38 percent who had been averaging 42 or more hours 2 years previously. Overtime hours were lower in 1957 than in 1955 for almost all major groups, with the largest drops in 3 industries— transportation equip ment, p r imary metals, and nonelectrical m a c h i n e r y — t o g e t h e r c o m p r i s i n g 30 p e r c e n t of manufacturing employment. Chart 1 below shows a d e c i d e d shift to shorter hou r s for those establishments, with the same total number of production workers, which had averaged 42 or more hours in the earlier year. low point in average hours, many workers who had previously been working overtime were no longer working even a 40-hour week. The over time pattern of May 1957 was almost identical with that of May 1954, with the same relative ly low proportions of workers in plants aver aging 42 or more hours. Average hours were slightly higher in May 1957 because of more workers in plants averaging around 40 hours, and less in those on a shorter week. In any month, regardless of general economic circum stances, there are always a few manufacturing plants averaging less than 30 hours or more than 50 hours per week. The d i f f e r e n c e s over the p e r i o d in the proportions of production workers working spec ified levels of hours are so substantial that changes in scheduled hours rather than the rel atively m i n o r differences that would result from absenteeism or turnover have obviously been the primary cause of changes in the manu facturing average. The proportion of produc tion workers in plants averaging 42 or more hours changed by as much as 16 percentage points i n a y e a r (from May 1953 to May 1954). Table 2 shows the distribution of factory workers by average weekly hours per establishment for each of the months studied. During May 1954, the Overtime Changes More Pronounced in Durables Than Nondurables The fluctuations in hours in the durable goods industries, particularly in those e s tablishments with substantial overtime (4 or more hours), have been the m a j o r cause of changes in the average for total manufacturing.

Consequently, the comparison reflects only changes in hours. iv plants averaging 42 or more hours ranged from 24 to 44 percent for the group as a whole over the period studied, while in plants producing nondurable goods, the range was quite n a r r o w 25 to 32 percent. (See table 3.) In May 1953, the proportion of production workers averaging 42 o r m o r e hours was 13 p e r c e n t a g e points higher for durable than for nondurable-goods plants; in May 1954 and 1957, the proportions were equal for both groups at about 25 percent. In May 1954, a period of recession, fewer production workers were on overtime than in By May 1955, the any of the o t h e r years. overtime pattern had improved for each of the 21 industry groups. In May 1956, the average dropped from the 1955 level, and in 1957 had declined further almost to the 1954 low. However, the 1957 durables picture was much improved o v e r 1954; in m o s t i n d u s t r i e s more wor k e r s were on o v e r t i m e in 1957, but the s u b s t a n t i a l d i f f e r e n c e in t r a n s p o r t a t i o n T a b l e 2.

The highest percent of production workers in durables plants averaging42 or more hours in May 1957, 33 percent, was in fabricated metals, the only durablegoods industry where overtime was about equal to the level of the preceding year. Over the 2-year period, May 1955-57, the trend in overtime hours was steadily downward for 8 of the 11 durables groups, with especial ly notable decreases in primary metals, trans portation equipment, and lumber. In the m a c h i n e r y i n d u s t r i e s , b o t h e l e c t r i c a l and nonelectrical, overtime was about at the same levels in May of 1956 as in 1955, but a year The industry with the highest percentage of employees working more than 42 hours is in nondurable goods— paper and allied products.

Hours More Stable in Western Region Than in Rest of United States Chart 2 shows, by region, the percent of factory workers in establishments averaging at least 38 hours, the approximate equivalent of a scheduled 40-hour week. The ups and downs of the past 5 years in average hours in manufacturing, particularly in durable goods, are readily apparent in all regions except the West. Judging from hours data, the effects of the early 1954 recession were concentrated in other parts of the coun try. Part of this stability in hours in dur ables plants in the West has, o f course, been due to the tremendous activity in the heavy manufacturing industries such as airframe and shipbuilding which are an important part of the industrial makeup of the region, partic ularly in California. (Since the latest data In contrast with the comparatively un c h a n g i n g h o u r s - o f - w o r k p a t t e r n in durable goods, in the West, substantial changes are evident in durables in the Northeast and North Central regions— areas with considerably more diversification in types of durables produced. The widest swings in hours in any sector oc curred in nondurable goods in the Southern region, where textile mills, comprising onethird of the South’s nondurable goods employ ment, have experienced sharp fluctuations in the workweek.
