Foreword

The Federal-State unemployment compensation program
yields data which, together with the wage and employment
data supplied by the program of old-age and survivors
insurance, fill one of the major gaps in our knowledge of
the labor market* The unemployment compensation program
makes it possible to obtain at regular intervals from every
firm of any significant size in the major industries, except
railroads, a report of the number of workers in their employ
and the amount of wages paid. Prior to the initiation of
the program, the only regularly available data in this
extremely important field were voluntary reports from a
relatively small number of employers. With approximately
90 percent of the workers in industries subject to unemployment compensation employed by the reporting establishments,
the data obtained regularly on employment and wages represent virtually a complete census for the industries covered.
The usefulness of these statistics will be further
enhanced as all State employment security agencies submit
reports on a more refined industrial classification basis
beginning with the year 1942. The industrial classification
of each firm is to be checked at least once every 3 years
in order that the data may accurately reflect industrial,
patterns.
This volume presents in detail the data collected
for 1939. A previous monograph, issued as Employment
Security Memorandum No. 6. contained similar data for 1938,
the first year for which data became available in most
States. Only a few States compiled comparable information
for 1937.
We wish to acknowledge the cooperation of the research
and statistics units of State employment security agencies
in making the issuance of these data possible.

EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES, 1939




EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES, 1939
1 Changes, 1938-1939
Industries covered "by State unemployment compensation
laws probably participated to a greater extent than industry
as a whole in the general economic improvement that characterized the year 1939 • Covered employment in 1939 averaged
21,377,500, approximately 7 percent above 193g4/ T b e Bureau
of Labor Statistics estimates indicate an increase from 1932
of only h.b percent for employees in nonagricultural establishments. Wages 2/ earned in covered employment in 1939 aggregated $28,513 million, about 11 percent more than in I93S. The
comparable gain in total nonagricultural wages and salaries in
the Nation as a whole, however, was only 7*9 percent, according
to recently revised estimates of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce.
Comparisons with the volume of covered employment and
wages in the previous year indicate the persistence in 1939
the upward trend which began late in 1938. In March 1939,
employment of covered workers totaled 20,75^000,
percent
above the level of March 193g. By June, the gain over the same
month of the previous year was 9*2 percent and in September it
reached 9#6 percent. Although covered employment declined in
the last 2 months of the year, the December 1939 total of nearly
22 million was 9*1 percent above the last month of 193&*
for workers included
Similar increases were reported
under the Federal old-age and survivors insurance program which
covers all employers, irrespective of size of establishment, in
virtually the same industries and services as those included
under State unemployment compensation programs. The average
number of employees reported as earning taxable wages under this
program on the last day or last pay roll of March, June,
September, and December 1939 w a $ 8.8 percent above the average
of similar figures for 1938.
March 1939 the number of such

workers was 6.5 percent higher than in March 1938. By the end
of June employment had increased "by 10 percent over the same
month of the previous year and in September by 9*7 percent—an
increase almost identical with that indicated by State unemployment compensation figures. Likewise, in spite of the slight
decline that followed, employment of workers covered by the oldage and survivors insurance program was 8*9 percent higher in
December 1939 than in the last month of 1938.
Wages of workers included under State unemployment compensation programs in the first quarter of 1939 exceeded
earnings during the corresponding period of 1§38 by 6.8 percent.
By the second quarter the relative increase was 10.9 percent,
and by the third quarter
percent. As in the case of employment, there was a slight decline in relative position at the end
of the year, but earnings in the last 3 months were 12.1 percent
above those in the same period of 1938* Between the first and
fourth quarters of 1939•ragesearned in covered employment
increased 19.O percent, as against a corresponding rise of only
13.3 percent in 1938.
Variations in the inclusiveness of the data for the 2
years prevent accurate analysis of industrial differences in
covered employment from 1938 to 1939 f o r the country as a whole.
Such comparisons as are feasible, 1/ however, indicate that average monthly covered employment in construction in 1939 wa s 25
percent above 1938, in manufacturing about 10 percent, and in
trade more than 7 percent. The increases in the corresponding
period in wages earned in these industrial divisions were even
more striking. Wages earned in construction rose more than 30
percent, in manufacturing 15 percent, and in trade 8 percent.
2 Character and Limitations of the Data
Comprehensive monthly data on employment and wages, by
major industry group, were reported to the Social Security Board
in 1939 "by the 51 State agencies administering the State unemployment compensation laws.2/ Only a few States compiled such
statistics in 1937• and although all States submitted reports
for 193^1 complete data by major industry group for all States

industry data were reported in 1938» were excluded from the
totals for 1939

and the District of Columbia.

first "became available in 1939. figures for 1938 have already
"been published,!/ and 1939 figures are presented in this volume.
Pinal data for lyUO were not due from State employment security
agencies until July 31t lSNu but preliminary estimates have
"been prepared and published.
Employers subject to unemployment compensation laws are
required to report to State employment security agencies the
number of workers on their pay rolls during the last pay period
of any type ending within the month. Thus, an employer who
reimburses his employees on more than one basis reports a figure which is the sum of the number of workers on a weekly pay
basis who were employed during the last week of the month, plus
the number paid on a semi-monthly basis who were employed during
the last half of the month, plus the number employed on a
monthly pay roll basis. Should the employer have other types
of pay periods, such as 10-day or daily, the number of enployees
during the last pay period of each type ending within the month
is included*
Wages are reported on a quarterly basis. Except for New
York, they represent the total amount of wages paid or payable
to all covered workers during each calendar quarter, even
though the entire amount may not be subject to taxation for
unemployment compensation purposes. Under most State laws, the
cash value of such perquisites as tips, bonuses, and meals are
regarded as taxable wages and included in the employers1 reports.
New York reported taxable wages only, thus excluding all but
$3,000 of the wages of individual employees with annual earnings
from any one employer in excess of $3,000. It is estimated that
this limitation reduced the reported figure for total wages earned
in covered employment for the 51 States by about 3 percent; it
especially distorts the wage pattern for industries in which high
salaries are frequent and in which New York predominates, particularly finance, insurance, and real estate•
Because of the differences in the bases upon which they
are reported, employment data are not strictly comparable with
wage data. The wages of all workers employed at any time in
the calendar quarter are included in the State reports, but
their employment is excluded unless it occurred during the last

pay period of a month. Qjiotients obtained by dividing wages
by employment, therefore, have little significance.1/
Unemployment compensation reports cover all persons
whose wages are subject to taxation for unemployment compensation purposes and, therefore, include many officers, executives, and other supervisory employees as well as wage earners.
Covered employment and wages are classified and reported
on an establishment and not on an employer basis and so are properly allocated to the State in which they originate. Data for
many States, therefore, reflect the employment of workers who
reside in neighboring States.
Various limitations which must be taken into consideration in any interpretation of the figures, attach to the use
of employment and wage data for covered workers as measures of
total employment and wages. Large groups of the working population are excluded from coverage by most State unemployment
compensation laws. These exclusions, moreover, vary considerably among the States.2/ In general, unemployment compensation
coverage is limited by two broad conditions—the nature of the
business and the size of the firm.
"Nature of business" is negatively defined in most State
laws in terms of the types of employment exempt from contribution requirements. Generally excluded in 1939 were:
1. Agricultural labor.
2. Domestic service in a private home;
3- Service performed as an officer or member of a crew
of a vessel on the navigable waters of the United
States;
km Service performed by an individual in the employ of
his son, daughter, or spouse, and service performed
by a child under the age of twenty-one in the employ
of his father or mother;
5. Service performed in the employ of the United States
Government or of an instrumentality of the United
States;
6. Service performed in the employ of a corporation,
community chest, fund, or foundation, organized and
l/ The average annual wage earned in covered industries could
be computed by dividing total wages earned by the number of
workers with wage credits.

operated exclusively for religious, charitable,
scientific, literary, or educational purposes, or
for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals, no part of the net earnings of which inures
to the benefit of any private shareholder or individual.
Deviations from this general pattern are frequent. New York,
for example, covers domestic service in' a private home if the
employer has four or more servants.
These are, however, not the only types of excluded
employment. As a consequence of the joint conditions that
govern liability for unemployment compensation contributions,
there are large groups of employers engaged in subject industries and services who are exempt because they do not employ a
specified number of workers for a period of sufficient duration, usually a portion of one day in each of twenty different weeks. Thus, some employers operating the year round in
covered industries are exempt because they do not employ the
minimum number specified in the State law. Others are exempt,
even though they employ the minimum number of workers in
employments subject to the State law, because they did not
employ the required number of workers over the required period.
In 19391 ia 8 States an employer's minimum annual or quarterly
pay roll was a factor in determining coverage.
A change in industrial coverage was made in 1939 "by
Wisconsin whereby about 8,500 out of approximately 13>500 government (non-Federal) employees who were formerly included were
excluded after July 1. The most important change in the
n
nature-of-businessw exclusions in 1939 became effective July 1,
when, by Federal statute, employees of interstate railroads and
certain allied employers were transferred from coverage by State
unemployment compensation systems to a special Federal system
of unemployment insurance.
Massachusetts reduced its nsize-of-firmn limitation from
employers of at least eight to employers of at least four
workers, effective January 1, 1939- Six States, all of which
had previously covered employers of less than eight workers,
changed their coverage in 1939 "by basing it on the size of the
employer's pay roll as well as on the number of workers employed;
the new basis extended coverage in New Mexico and Utah and
reduced it slightly in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming. More




8
than half of the States were still following the pattern of the
Federal Unemployment Tax Act in 1939 and covering only firms
employing eight or more.l/ The other laws covered smaller firms;
in December 1939» H States, all (with the exception of
Pennsylvania) relatively small in terms of the volume of employment, required contributions from all employers in covered industries, provided their businesses had been in operation for the
requisite period of time during the year.
The llsize-of-firan coverage limitations in State laws in
December of each of the years 1938-1940 were as follows:

It is believed that there is no serious -understatement or
distortion in the 1939 figures resulting from delinquency on the
part of employers in submitting contribution reports to the
State agencies.
3 Industrial Classification
The Social Security Board Industrial Classification Code,
designed primarily to serve the needs of the Social Security
program, is similar to but not identical with systems used by
YJ Most States permit elective coverage to employers of fewer
workers than specified in the State law and to certain types
of employment specifically excluded by these laws. The
extent of such voluntary coverage is not known.
2/ States having coverage based on both number of workers
employed and size of pay roll are tabulated according to the
number of workers.
2/ Includes Kentucky where, as an alternative to coverage of
employers of 4 or more workers paid at least $50 each in each
of 3 quarters, there is provision for the coverage of firms
employing 8 or more workers in 20 weeks.




9
other Federal agencies. Under the Social Security Board industrial classification procedure adopted "by all State unemployment
compensation agencies, each place of "business is coded on the
basis of its principal activity. If a firm conducts different
activities at its various establishments, separate industry
identification numbers are assigned to each establishment. For
example, should a firm which is engaged primarily in manufacturing also operate retail outlets, separate employment and
wage data would be reported for each of the functions. Thus,
employment and wages for multi-unit employers reported to the
Bureau of Employment Security are classified under the industrial activity and State to which they properly belong rather
than according to the primary industry or location of the
reporting employer.
There have been several editions of the Social Security
Board Industrial Classification Code. During 19391 most State
unemployment compensation agencies used the latest (1939)1/
edition, some classified employers according to the March'"1937
edition and four State agencies—Massachusetts, North Carolina,
West Virginia, and the District of Columbia—were still using
the 1936 Code. Industrial classification of employment and
wage data for 19*40 and subsequent years will be made by all
State agencies on the basis of the 1939 edition of the Code#
Classifications in the 1936 edition were almost identical to those in the 1937. The 1939 Code provided for a few
changes in 2-digit industry classifications. In addition,
while the 1937 code provided only for classifications by major
industry groups (2-digits) full use of the 1939 code makes
possible subclassification into smaller industry groups
t3-&igits) or even industries (H-digits). Srrployment and wage
data by industry groups (3-digits) for all States will first
become available with the 19^2 figures. The detailed classification will make possible similarly detailed analyses of
Nation-wide and State trends in employment and wages.
k Unemployment Compensation Coverage
Estimates based on figures supplied by State unemployment compensation agencies indicate that 31*530.500 workers,^
or nearly 50 percent more than the average of 21,3771500
1/ For a description of major industry groups (2-digits) in
the 1939 edition of the code see pp.

covered workers reported as employed daring the last pay period
of each month, obtained wage credits toward unemployment "benefits during 1939* This figure represents the maximum number of
workers who may be eligible for benefits during their periods
of unemployment. The total number of employees ^ho received
some wages taxable under the old-age and survivors insurance
program in 1939 w&s 33»l°0»°0Clt 5 percent more than under the
unemployment compensation program.
Workers with wage credits under the unemployment compensation program in 1939 constituted approximately 60 percent of
the total labor force of the continental United States, including
employers and the self-employed.l/ To an indeterminant extent,
this proportion overstates the degree to which the labor force
is covered by unemployment compensation because certain individuals regarded as not in the labor force during the Census week
undoubtedly had earned wages in covered employment in the preceding year. Women cannery workers who are ordinarily housewives are one example, students another, of workers with wage
credits but not included in the labor force by the Census Bureau.
The ratio of the number of workers with wage credits
under unemployment compensation laws to the total labor force
in 1939 ranged from 21.0 percent in North Dakota to 91-3 percent in Bhode Island.2/ The ratio is, of course, higher in
industrialized States than in States in which a large part of
the working population is employed in agriculture or other
industries not usually included under unemployment compensation laws. The ratio of coverage to total labor force is
also affected by the size-of-firm limitations in State laws.
The average number of workers employed during the last
pay period of each month in establishments covered by State
unemployment compensation programs in 1939 amounted to 85 percent of the average employment of workers covered by the Federal
1/ The Bureau of the Census preliminary figure of 52,8*11,000
for the total labor force of the United States (excluding
Alaska and Hawaii) as of the last week in March 19*40 is
used here. It includes all persons lb years old and over
with a job, at work on public emergency projects (WPA,
NYA, CCC, etc.), or seeking work. '

old-age and survivors insurance program l/ and 93 percent of
all employees in covered industries, as derived from estimates
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.2/
A comparison of employment in covered industries as
derived from Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates with
employment under the unemployment compensation program by
industry division, presented on page 12, clearly indicates
that the ratios of unemployment compensation coverage were
lowest in industries generally characterized by small establishments. The inverses of the ratios of coverage for employment in trade and in transportation, communication, and other
public utilities probably represent fairly good indications
of the proportion of workers excluded from unemployment compensation coverage by size-of-firm and employment requirements in State laws. The same factor affects the degree of
1/ Social Security Bulletin, August 19^1. Comparison is
based on employment in the 4 months of March, June,
September, and December, the only months for which oldage and survivors insurance data are available. The difference in coverage under the two programs is due principally to size-of-firm limitations under State unemployment
compensation laws. A further difference between the figures is that -under the old-age and survivors insurance
program employers are asked to report the number of
employees on the last day or last pay roll of the month;
under the employment security program they report the number on the last pay roll of the month. Old-age and survivors insurance data have been adjusted upward to cover
delinquent reporting; the corresponding proportion before
the adjustment was 88 percent. See table, p. 12.
2/ The Bureau of Labor Statistics series used is the estimates
of the number of employees in all nonagricultural establishments, excluding self-employed persons, casual workers, domestic servants, and the military and naval forces of the
government, revision of April 19^1. There have been some
observations that these estimates are too low. See W. S.
Woytinsky "Controversial Aspects of Unemployment Estimates
in the United States," Review of Economic Statistics, Volume XXIII, No. 2, May Ijbl, and Arthur H. Eeede, "Adequacy

coverage for the construction industry;!/ the exclusion from
coverage "by most State unemployment compensation laws of small
contractors, who may have a marked increase in employment
during the seasonal peak—an increase which does not, however,
extend over 20 or more weeks—may account for most of this difference. The excess of covered employment in manufacturing as
compared with the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimate may be
due to differences in definition—the unemployment compensation
series includes administrative offices and auxiliary units
which are classified with the principal manufacturing activity
to which they are related. Figures for employment in mining
in 1539 are greatly affected by the stoppage in bituminous
production which began on April 1 and continued for approximately 7 weeks. The prevalence of small establishments in service and in finance, insurance, and real estate is undoubtedly
responsible for the low ratio of unemployment compensation coverage for those industries.
Limitations in State laws relating to the minimum sizeof-firm, i.e., the minimum number of covered employees which a
firm must employ for a specified period in order to be subject
to the unemployment compensation law, had the effect of
excluding from unemployment compensation coverage 12 percent
of the employees in trade and 25 percent of those in services
who were covered by old-age and survivors insurance, as indicated in the tabulation on page 12. Comparisons of covered
employment -under the two programs, however, are of limited significance for some industries because of differences in the
method of classifying multi-industry employers. Under the oldage and survivors insurance program, employment for multiindustry employers is classified according to the primary
industry of the company, rather than lay establishment, and an
estimated adjustment is then made for secondary employment.
This factor especially affects comparisons of covered employment under the two programs in manufacturing and mining.

Domestic Commerce,!/ was earned "by covered workers. Only
percent of all wages in construction and 58 percent in service, finance, insurance, real estate, and miscellaneous
industries was earned "by covered employees. On the other hand,
covered employees earned 92 percent of all wages in transportation, communication, and other public utilities and 39 percent in trade. Differences in industrial classification
"between the two series probably account for the indicated
excess of wages earned in establishments covered by State unemployment compensation programs over estimated wages earned in
all mining establishments and for the very high ratio of coverage in manufacturing.
Comparisons of wages earned in employment covered by
State unemployment compensation programs with wages taxable
under the Federal old-age and survivors insurance program have
little significance because, in addition to differences due to
size-of-firm exclusions under the State laws, wages taxable
under the Federal program exclude wages of an individual
employee in excess of $3,000 a year from a given employer,
whereas, except for Hew York, figures for wages of employees covered by State unemployment compensation programs include such
earnings.
In 8 States the number of employees covered by the unemployment compensation program equaled or exceeded the number
estimated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to be employed in
covered industries.2/ In these 8 States coverage extended to
all firms regardless of size.^5/ In 31 States covered employment accounted for 90 percent or more of all employment in
covered industries. In the 11 States in which the proportion
was less than 85 percent, coverage did not extend to employers
having less than 8 workers.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics figures used for comparison are based on unpublished preliminary estimates subject to
revisions which may materially affect the ratios for some States.
Such revisions may reduce the ratios for States in which covered
employment exceeds the present estimates of all employment in
covered industries, and, for example, may increase the present
ratios of 68 and J2 for North and South Dakota, respectively.

A similar comparison between wages earned by covered
employees and all wages and salaries earned in covered industries, derived from estimates compiled by the Bureau of foreign
and Domestic Commerce,!/ indicates that in 8 States earnings of
covered workers accounted for 90 percent or more of all earnings
in covered industries. Four of these 8 were States which had no
size-of-firm limitation to coverage.3/ I n 25 States earnings of
covered workers accounted for 80 to % percent of all earnings
in covered industries. Of the 16 States in which the ratio was
less than 80 percent, 15 dad not cover firms employing less than
8 workers.
The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce figures, like
those of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, represent estimates
which are undergoing constant revision. When final adjustments
of the estimates are made, some of the more unusual relationships, such as the 92 percent coverage of wages for a State
(Illinois) which excludes from coverage firms having less than 8
workers, may be modified. Similarly, the coverage of only 72
percent for a State (Nevada) which subjects all firms, regardless of size, to unemployment compensation contributions may be
adjusted upward.

The total coverage of the State unemployment compensation program in 1939 would probably have been increased
about 11 percent if the size-of-firm exclusions in all State
laws had been eliminated, estimates based on comparisons with
data of the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance indicate • These data indicate further that coverage in the nine
States in which it was limited to employers of four or more
workers, would have been increased an average of 7<>9 percent
in 1939 if it had extended to all employers regardless of
size, and the total coverage of the State unemployment compensation program would have been increased 2.5 percent. Similarly, had coverage provisions been altered in the 26 States
covering only employers of eight or more to include all
employers regardless of the size-of-firm, coverage in those
States would have been increased IS.3 percent and the total

5 Industrial Trends
Except for relatively slight declines in April and July,
covered employment rose moderately but steadily during the
1/ See Table II, p.
for ratios by State.
zj Excluding Alaska and Hawaii for which the Bureau of foreign
and Domestic Commerce does not estimate wages.




18
first 10 months of 1939 from 20.2 million in January to a peak
of 22.5 million in October, an increase of 11.1 percent. The
decline in April was caused by the widespread work stoppage in
the bituminous coal industry which was reflected in sharp
decreases in employment in Alabama, Kentucky, Pennsylvania,
and West Virginia. The down-turn in July is attributable
largely to normal seasonal factors, such as the reduction of
employment in Michigan resulting from lay-offs during the period when preparations are made for producing new models in
automobile manufacturing establishments. Customary shutdowns
to take year-end inventories and seasonal declines in construction, mining, and certain manufacturing industries such
as food, clothing, and tobacco probably accounted for the 2.1
percent decline in covered employment in the last 2 months of
the year. December 1939 employment, however, was still 9*2
percent above the level of December 1938.
Wages earned in covered employment increased steadily
from $6.6 billion in the first quarter to $7.8 billion in the
last, a 19 percent rise, reflecting fuller employment as well
as the usual year-end bonuses. Declines in some industries
for a single quarter, as in bituminous coal mining in AprilJune and in automobile manufacturing in July-September were
insufficient to reverse the upward national trend.
The expansion in the number of covered workers employed,
which characterized the last half of 1939» w a s
"by a substantial increase in mining, after the stoppage in the Spring,
and was shared by manufacturing, utilities, and wholesale and
retail trade. Increases of about 200,000 from July to December
in the number of covered workers employed in the manufacture of
iron and steel and their products, 180,000 in the manufacture
of automobiles and automobile equipment, and 109,000 in the
production of electrical and other machinery, accounted for the
larger part of the rise in manufacturing. Employment in trade
increased 4-13,000 from July to December. More than 70 percent
of this increase was due to expansion of employment in retail
general merchandising, which is greatly affected by the yearend holidays.
In the service industries, of which personal service is
the largest, covered employment rose gradually from January to
June, then declined slightly during the summer before attaining




19
a peak in September, attributable to an increase in employment
in the amusement and recreation industry. Thereafter, it
declined and, by the end of December, was only 2.2 percent
above the January figure.
Construction and finance furnished contrasts to the generally persistent -upward tendency. Covered employment in the
highly seasonal construction industry fluctuated widely during
1939. From a low of 733,000 in February, it rose 52.7 percent
to a peak in August, and then declined 27*5 percent to 211,000
at the end of December, although 8.9 percent above the first
month of the year. Covered employment in finance, insurance,
and real estate remained comparatively steady throughout the
year and was slightly lower in December than in January.
The pattern of industrial trends in quarterly wages
earned in covered employment in 1939 generally followed that
of employment. The distortion in the wage figures due to the
exclusion from the New York reports of wages for an individual
worker in excess of $3*000 a year from any single employer is
especially apparent in the high-wage finance, insurance, and
real estate division, for which reported wages declined more
than $10 million from the first to the second quarter, and an
almost equal drop took place between the second and third quarters, although no comparable decrease occurred in the number
of workers employed. If data for New York were omitted from
the total for the industry division, wages earned in finance
and related industries would have shown a steady increase from
$29S million in the first quarter to $338 million in the fourth.
The effect of the wage exclusion in New York was to increasingly
understate the amounts paid during the last 3 quarters of the
year.l/ Christmas and other bonus payments during the last
quarter tend to offset this factor somewhat.
6

Industrial and Geographical Concentrations

Due both to the statutory exclusion from coverage of certain classes, such as agricultural, maritime, and domestic
employees, and also to size-of-firm and pay roll limitations
which have the effect of excluding a wide variety of industries
and services characterized by small establishments, covered
employment and wages are highly concentrated.
l/ After the first $3,000 has been reported, employer reports
in New York exclude wages paid to an employee for subsequent periods of the year.

Manufacturing industries in 1939 accounted for
percent of the average monthly employment of all workers covered "by State unemployment compensation programs and ^5*7 Percent of their wages. Covered employment within the manufacturing division was almost equally divided "between industries
producing durable and nondurable goods. Durable goods industries accounted for ^6.3 percent and nondurable goods industries for 53*7 percent of covered employment in the division.1/
In spite of the exclusions arising from size-of-firm limitations, the wholesale and retail trade division 2/ ranked
second, with 25® 2 percent of the employment and 2J. 7 percent
of the wages. Thus, more than 70 percent of all covered employment and wages in 1939 w a s to be found in these two industry
divisions combined. The remaining 3° percent was distributed
among five industry divisions—transportation, communication,
and other public utilities 2/ bad 7*5 percent of all employment
and 8*5 percent of wages; service industries 8.1 percent of
total employment and 7*1 percent of wages; finance, insurance,
and real estate ^.9 percent of employment and 6.2 percent of
wages; construction 4.5 percent of employment and 4.^ percent
of wages; and mining 3*8 and 3*9 percent, respectively.
The concentration of covered employment in certain industry divisions accounts for a similar concentration in States
with large numbers of workers in such industries. The 8 highly
industrialized States of California, Illinois, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania had 58
percent of all covered workers and 63 percent of total wages
earned in covered employment. On the other hand, 2*+ States,
mostly located in the Rocky Mountain area and the agricultural
West, each had less than 1 percent, and together only about 10
percent of total covered employment.
In both New York and Pennsylvania more than a million
covered workers were employed in manufacturing. These States,
together with the 6 others mentioned above, accounted for
about 60 percent of all covered employment and 65 percent of
the total wages earned by covered workers in manufacturing—
l/ Durable goods industries include major industry groups 2^,
~ 25, 32-39; nondurable include groups 20-23, 26-31.
2/ Includes garages and filling stations, and eating and
drinking places.
Excludes interstate railroads and certain of their subsidiaries.




21
a distribution which corresponds closely to that shown by the
1939 Census of Manufactures. These 8 States also embraced 57
percent of covered employment and 6l percent of wages in
wholesale and retail trade. The ratios for wages would have
been higher if New York had reported total, instead of merely
taxable, wages.
New York, partly because its coverage provisions extend
to employers of k or more workers, and California, because of
its motion-picture industry, had more than 513,000 of the
1,723,2*40 covered workers employed in service industries. In
the service division, these two States, together with Illinois,
Ohio, and Pennsylvania, accounted for 52 percent of all covered
employment and 59 percent of total wages.
Workers in transportation, communication, and other public utilities (excluding railroads and other employers under
the jurisdiction of the Bailroad Retirement Board) were similarly concentrated with slightly more than half of the covered
workers in California, Illinois, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
There was even less geographical dispersion among covered workers in finance, insurance, and real estate. Because
of the concentration of large financial institutions in New
York City, New York State alone accounted for 325,235, or 31
percent, of the average covered employment in that industry
division—more than the combined total of California, Illinois,
and Pennsylvania, ishich had the next largest numbers.
Pennsylvania, Tshere much of the bituminous, and the
entire anthracite, mining industry of the country is located,
together with West Virginia, Illinois, Kentucky, and Texas,
(where there were 55,^37 covered workers engaged in the production of crude petroleum and natural gas) accounted for
approximately 56 percent of both the average monthly covered
employment and the wages earned by covered workers in mining
industries.
Covered employment in construction was more evenly distributed geographically, although 29 percent of the covered
workers and 3*+ percent of the wages were concentrated in New
York, Pennsylvania, and California*
The higher proportions of wages than of employment for
some industry divisions and groups of States reflect higher




22
annual per capita earnings, resulting from more regular employment or higher wage rates.
7 State Industrial Patterns
The industrial composition of covered employment and
wages within the "boundaries of each State is highly significant in relation to the unemployment compensation program.
While covered employment in some States is highly diversified,
in others it is concentrated in a few major industry groups.
Untoward developments of a cyclical, seasonal, technological,
or fortuitous nature, which may affect these industries, will
have repercussions on the operation of the unemployment compensation program in these States, through heavy administrative "burdens, and possibly also serious drains on funds.
The relative importance of each industry division and
major industry group in each of the 51 jurisdictions is shown
in the tables which follow.l/ The distributions are based on
employment covered by State unemployment compensation laws
and consequently are influenced by size-of-firm and other
limitations which greatly affect their broad economic significance. Consideration of such limitations is also extremely
important in drawing comparisons between States, and even in
interpreting data for a single State, since size-of-firm limitations will have the effect of understating the proportion of
employment in industries characterized by small establishments.
No single major industry group accounted for as much as
10 percent of all covered employment in 15 States, including
New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. In Alaska, on the other
hand, more than 60 percent of covered employment was concentrated in two major industry groups—the manufacture of food
and kindred products and the mining of metals. A single major
industry group—textile manufacturing—accounted for 50 percent of covered employment in South Carolina, 44 percent in
North Carolina, 34 percent in Bhode Island, and 2b percent in
Georgia. Similarly, nearly 43 percent of all covered workers
in Hawaii were employed in food manufacturing alone, 37 percent in West Virginia in bituminous coal mining, and 28 percent in Nevada in metal mining. New Hampshire had 38 percent
of its covered employment in leather products factories and
textile mills. The manufacture of automobiles and automobile
equipment accounted for 29 percent of all covered employment

in Michigan, and lumber and "basic timber products for more than
22 percent in Oregon. In 26 States, "between 10 and 20 percent
of all covered employment was concentrated in one major industry group.

The proportion of total covered employment in the highly
seasonal construction industry in no State exceeded 13 percent,
and ranged between 5 and 10 for most. In 19 States, less than
5 percent of the covered workers were engaged in construction.
The generally low ratios of covered workers in this industry
division are due largely to size-of-firm exclusions in State
laws.
The size-of-firm factor also affected the State patterns
of covered employment in the service industries. There were
higher proportions in this industry division in Arizona,
Arkansas, District of Columbia, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana,
Nevada, and Wyoming—all of which cover employers of 1 or more—
than in most other States. California led all the remaining
States with 13.8 percent of its total covered employment in
service industries, which include the motion picture industry,
hotels, and personal services. New York had 10.8 percent of
its covered employment in services. In spite of the effect of
size-of-firm limitations and of the exclusion of domestic service in private homes, service industries accounted for not
less than 3*6 percent of all covered employment in every State.
The proportion of covered employment in the transportation, communication, and public utilities division, which
comprised between 10 and 20 percent of all covered employment
in 34 States in 193S, was sharply reduced in 1939 "by the
removal from State coverage of interstate railroads and certain of their subsidiaries. The bulk of covered employment in
the industry division in 1939 was concentrated in the communication, public utilities, and trucking groups. In relation to
total employment, the proportion of covered workers in this
industry division did not vary greatly among the States,
ranging from 3*5 percent in North Carolina to 13.2 percent in
Texas.
Although there were 13 States in which the number of
covered employees in trade comprised less than one-half of one
percent of the Nationfs total, for no jurisdiction was employment in this industry division less than 10 percent of its
total coverage. The lowest proportion, 10.9 percent, was for
Alaska. In the remaining States, it ranged from about ik to
a high of 51 percent, most States having between 25 and 35 percent of their total covered employment in trade.
Workers engaged in finance, insurance, and real estate,
on the other hand, exceeded 6 percent of total covered employment only in California, Delaware, the District of Columbia,
and New York.

8 Monthly Fluctuations in Employment
Measures of monthly fluctuations in covered employment, for industries and States, are presented "below. They are
coefficients which represent the mean deviation of employment
in each month from the average monthly employment during the
year, expressed as a percentage of the average monthly employment.!/ They are uncorrected for secular trend.
Although the coefficient of monthly fluctuation in
employment for all industries was only
the sharply divergent patterns of individual industries are indicated by a rajqge
from 0.7 to 12.4 for industry divisions, from 0.6 to 18.4 for
major industry groups, and from 1.7 to 40.5 for States. These
figures, moreover, are based on total employment in groups of
industries or in a State, and so may conceal wider fluctuations
in employment in individual industries through the cancellation
of possible coinciding peaks and troughs.
For industry divisions, the coefficients of monthly
fluctuation in employment were as follows:

fishing which may be covered, and others not elsewhere classified.

Within these divisions, there was considerable variation
among major industry groups.l/ Although the coefficient for
the entire mining division averaged 6.4, it was l4#U for "bituminous and other soft-coal mining and 8.6 for non-metallic
mining and quarrying. Included in mining is one of the most
stable major industry groups—crude petroleum and natural gas
production, with a coefficient of I.h—which reduced the average for the division.
Covered employment in all branches of the construction
industry showed sharp monthly fluctuations. The range of the
measure of monthly fluctuation for groups in the manufacturing
division was comparatively narrow—from 0.6 in printing, publishing and allied industries to 8.1 in the manufacture of automobiles and automobile equipment. The industrial coverage of
many major industry groups in this division, however, is so
wide as to allow for mutual cancellation of peaks and troughs
among individual industries and possibly to conceal wide monthly
fluctuations. The apparel group, for example, has a coefficient of only 3.8 although it includes the men's and womenfs
clothing industries, which are subject to wide monthly fluctuations .
Even the relatively stable utilities division includes
a major industry group with fairly wide monthly fluctuations
in employment—trucking and/or warehousing for hire has a
coefficient of 6.0. Due to the requirements of a specified
number of weeks during which a minimum number of workers must
be employed in a year, many seasonal employers in trade, as in
other industries, are not subject to unemployment compensation
programs. Even after these exclusions, however, covered
employment in retail general merchandising had a coefficient
of monthly fluctuation of 8.2. Other coefficients in the
trade division ranged from 1.6 for the retailing of food
(including liquor stores) to f.O for the retailing of apparel
and accessories.
Covered employment in all major industry groups in the
finance, insurance, and real estate division was quite stable.
The only exception was enployment in holding companies (except
real estate holding companies) which had a coefficient of 4.0.
The service division embraces both some of the most stable and
some of the most unstable industry groups. The coefficient of
1/ See Table III, p. 35, for coefficients of monthly fluctuation in employment by major industry group.

fluctuation was 1.0 for business services (not elsewhere classified), and 1.2 for motion pictures, for medical and other
health services, and for law offices and related services; but
for the amusement and recreation group it was 10.6, and for
educational institutions and agencies, 11.6.
Inclusion in the miscellaneous division of covered
employment in establishments engaged in agricultural activities accounts for the high coefficient of 9*4.
For the country as a whole, the major industry groups
with the highest coefficients l/ of monthly fluctuation in
employment in 1939 were:

A similar ranking of States,l/ shown on page 29» indicates that, in general, the highest coefficients of fluctuation were associated with States in which covered employment
was either not diversified or was concentrated in a few unstable
industries, and the lowest with States which had either a high
degree of diversification or a high proportion of employment
in relatively stable industries.

In some of these States, such as .Alaska and Hawaii, climatic conditions are the major factor determining the monthly
pattern of covered employment. In others, a lack of industrial
diversification contributes to the immobility of labor; workers
are dependent on a few, often seasonal, industries and when layoffs occur there are rare opportunities for employment in other
kinds of enterprise.
Covered employment in New York and Missouri, on the other
hand, is highly diversified and there are many opportunities for
interindustry migration in times of slack. A single stable
industry~crude petroleum and natural gas production—dominates
covered employment in Texas and Oklahoma. The coefficient of
fluctuation for this major industry group in Texas was only 1.3»
and in Oklahoma, 2.5* The pattern of covered employment in
Kansas is determined by a few relatively stable industries. The
textile manufacturing industry of Tennessee, which accounted for
13 percent of all covered employment in the State in 1939» ka^
a coefficient of fluctuation of only 1*9-
