Com paring February 1933 with February 1932, decreases of 12.3 percent in employment and 26.6 percent in pay rolls are shown over the 12-month period. The percents of change in employment and pay-roll totals in February 1933 as compared with January 1933 are based on returns made by 17,773 establishments in 89 of the principal manufacturing industries in the United States, having in February 2,593,672 em ployees, whose combined earnings in one week were $42,885,896. The index of employment in February 1933 was 57.5 as compared with 56.6 in January 1933, 58.3 in December 1932, and 65.6 in February 1932; the pay-roll index in Feburary 1933 was 36.4 as compared with 35.8 in January 1933, 37.7 in December 1932, and 49.6 in February 1932. The 12-month average for 1926 equals 100. In table 1, which follows, are shown the number of identical establishments reporting in both January and February 1933 in the 89 manufacturing industries, together with the total number of employees on the pay rolls of these establishments during the pay period ending nearest February 15, the amount of their weekly earn ings in February, the percents of change over the month and year intervals, and the indexes of employment and pay roll in February 1933.

The percents of E ( 1) 2 change over the month interval in the several groups and in the total of the 89 manufacturing industries are computed from the index numbers of these groups, which are obtained by weighting the index numbers of the several industries in the groups by the number of employees or wages paid in the industries. The percents of change over the year interval in the separate industries, in the groups and in the totals, are computed from the index numbers of employment and pay-roll totals.

General Index Numbers of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in Manufacturing Industries G e n e r a l index numbers of employment and pay-roll totals in manufacturing industries by months, from January 1926 to February 1933, together with average indexes for each of the years from 1926 to 1932, and for the months of January and February 1933 are shown in the following table. In computing these general indexes, the index numbers of each of the separate industries are weighted according to their relative importance in the total. Following this table are two charts prepared from these general indexes showing the course of employment and pay rolls for each of the years 1926 to 1932, inclusive, and for January and February 1933. 7 T a b l e 3 —G E N E R A L IN D E X E S OF E M P L O Y M E N T A N D P A Y R O L L S IN M A N U F A C T U R IN G IN D U S T R IE S , J A N U A R Y 1926 T O F E B R U A R Y 1933 (12-month average, 1926=100] Pay rolls Employment M onth January.____ February___ M arch______ April________ M a y ________ June________ July_________ August______ September. __ October_____ N ovem ber. __ December___ 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 100.4 101.5 102.0 101.0 99.8 99.3 97.7 98.7 100.3 100.7 99.5 98.9 97.3 99.0 99.5 98.6 97.6 97.0 95.0 95.1 95.8 95.3 93.5 92.6 91.6 93.0 93.7 93.3 93.0 93.1 92.2 93.6 95.0 95.9 95.4 95.5 95.2 97.4 98.6 99.1 99.2 98.8 98.2 98.6 99.3 98.4 95.0 92.3 90.7 90.9 90.5 89.9 88.6 86.5 82.7 81.0 80.9 79.9 77.9 76.6 74.6 75.3 75.9 75.7 75.2 73.4 71.7 71.2 70.9 68.9 67.1 66.7 64.8 65.6 64.5 62.2 59.7 57.5 55.2 56.0 58.5 59.9 59.4 58.3 1926 1927 1928 1929 1930 1931 1932 1933 56.6 98.0 94.9 89.6 94.5 88.1 63.7 48.6 35.8 57.5 102.2 100.6 93.9 101.8 91.3 68.1 49.6 36.4 103.4 102.0 95.2 103.9 91.6 69.6 48.2 101.5 100.8 93.8 104.6 90.7 68.5 44.7 ___ 99.8 99.8 94.1 104.8 88.6 67.7 42.5 ___ ___ 99.7 97.4 94.2 102.8 85.2 63.8 39.3 95.2 93.0 91.2 98.2 77.0 60.3 36.2 ___ 98.7 95.0 94.2 102.1 75.0 59.7 36.3 ___ 99.3 94.1 95.4 102.6 75.4 56.7 38.1 ___ 102.9 95.2 99.0 102.4 74.0 55.3 39.9 ___ ___ 99.6 91.6 96.1 95.4 69.6 52.5 38.6 ___ 99.8 93.2 97.7 92.4 68.8 52.2 37.7 Average. __ 100.0 96.4 93.8 97.5 84.7 72.3 60.1 157.1 100.0 96.5 94.5 100.5 81.3 61.5 41.6 136.1 1 Average for 2 months. Time Worked in Manufacturing Industries in February 1933 R e p o r t s as to working time in February were received from 13,111 establishments in 89 manufacturing industries. Three percent of these establishments were idle, 45 percent operated on a full-time basis, and 51 percent worked on a part-time schedule. An average of 85 percent of full-time operation in February was shown by reports received from all the operating establishments included in table 4. The establishments working part time in February averaged 72 percent of full-time operation. A number of establishments supplying data concerning plantoperating time have reported full-time operations but have qualified the hours reported with a statement that, while the plant was operat ing full time, the work in the establishment was being shared and the employees were not working the full-time hours operated by the plant. Such establishments have been classified under full-time establishments in the following tabulation. The heading of the column concerning full-time plants has therefore been changed to read “ Percent of establishments operating full time” instead of “ Percent of establishments in which employees worked full time. ” 167157— 33------ 2 8 MANUFACTURING IN DU STRIES.

The index numbers show the variation in employment and pay rolls in these groups, by months, from January 1929 to February 1933 with the exception of laundries and the dyeing and cleaning groups, for which information over the entire period is not available. The Bureau recently secured data concerning employment and pay rolls for the index base year 1929 from establishments in the laundries and the dyeing and cleaning groups, and has computed index numbers for these two groups, which now appear in this tabulation. The monthly collection of trend-of-employment statistics in these two groups did not begin until the later months of 1930, and, therefore, indexes for each month of the entire period are not available.

Manhour data for the building construction group and for the insurance, real estate, banking, and brokerage groups are not available, and data for several of the 89 manufacturing industries surveyed monthly are omitted from these tables due to lack of adequate information. The total number of establishments supplying man-hour data in these 15 industrial groups represents approximately 50 percent of the establishments supplying monthly employment data. The tabulations are based on reports supplying actual man-hours worked and do not include nominal man-hour totals, obtained by multiplying the total number of employees in the establishment by the plant operating time. Table 1 shows the average hours worked per employee per week and average hourly earnings in 15 industrial groups and for all groups combined. The average hours per week and average hourly earnings for the combined total of the 15 industrial groups are weighted aver ages, wherein the average man-hours and average hourly earnings in each industrial group are multiplied by the total number of employees in the group in the current month and the sum of these products divided by the total number of employees in the combined 15 in dustrial groups. In presenting information for the separate manufacturing industries shown in table 2, data are published for only those industries in which the available man-hour information covers 20 percent or more of the total number of employees in the industry at the present time. The average man-hours and hourly earnings for the combined 89 manu facturing industries have been weighted in the same manner as the averages for all industrial groups combined, table 1. Per capita weekly earnings, computed by multiplying the average man-hours worked per week by the average hourly earnings shown in the following table, are not identical to the per capita weekly earnings appearing elsewhere in this trend-of-employment compilation, which are obtained by dividing the total weekly earnings in all establish ments reporting by the total number of employees in those establish ments. As already noted, the basic information upon which the average weekly man-hours and average hourly earnings are computed covers approximtely 50 percent of the establishments reporting monthly employment data. 167157— 33 ----- 3 16 T a b l e 1.—A V E R A G E H O U R S W O R K E D P E R W E E K P E R E M P L O Y E E A N D A V E R A G E H O U R L Y E A R N IN G S IN 15 I N D U S T R IA L G R O U P S , J A N U A R Y A N D F E B R U A R Y 1933 | Average hours per 1 week i Industrial group January 1933 Manufacturing___ ____________________________ ______________ ___________ ___ J Anthracite m ining______________________ Bituminous coal m ining________________ _____ _______ _ ____ Metalliferous m in in g .______________ __________________________ Quarrying and nonmetallic mining______ ________ _ __________ Crude petroleum p rod u cin g ____ ______________ _______________ Telephone and telegraph _____________ _ _____________________ Power and light___________________________ _______ __________ Electric-railroad and motor-bus operation and maintenance___ Wholesale trade____________ __________ ________________________ Retail trade. _________________________ ____________ _____ Hotels______ ___________________ __________ __ _ _ _ _ ...........

Trend of Employment in February 1933 by States I N THE following table are shown the fluctuations in employment and pay-roll totals in February 1933 as compared with January 1933 in certain industrial groups by States. These tabulations have been prepared from data secured directly from reporting establish ments and from information supplied by cooperating State agencies. The combined total of all groups does not include building-construction data, information concerning which is published elsewhere in a separate tabulation by city and State totals. In addition to the combined total of all groups, the trend of employment and pay rolls in the manufacturing, public utility, hotel, wholesale trade, retail trade, bituminous-coal mining, crude-petroleum producing, quarry ing and nonmetallic mining, metalliferous mining, laundries, and dyeing and cleaning groups are presented. In this State compilation, the totals of the telephone and telegraph, power and light, and electric-railroad operation groups have been combined and are pre sented as one group— public utilities. Due to the extreme seasonal fluctuations in the canning and preserving industry, and the fact that during certain months the activity in this industry in a number of States is negligible, data for this industry are not presented separately. The number of employees and the amount of weekly pay roll in Janu ary and February 1933 as reported by identical establishments in this industry are included, however, in the combined total of “ All groups. ” The percents of change shown in the accompanying table, unless otherwise noted, are unweighted percents of change; that is, the industries included in the groups, and the groups comprising the total of all groups, have not been weighted according to their relative importance in the combined totals. As the anthracite-mining industry is confined entirely to the State of Pennsylvania, the changes reported in this industry in table 1, nonmanufacturing industries, are the fluctuations in this industry by State totals. When the identity of any reporting company would be disclosed by the publication of a State total for any industrial group, figures for the group do not appear in the separate industrial-group tabula tion, but are included in the State totals for “ All groups.” Data are not presented for any industrial group when the representation in the State covers less than three establishments. 20 COM PARISON OF E M PL O Y M E N T AND PAY ROLLS IN IDENTICAL ESTABLISHM ENTS IN JANUARY AND FE BR U A R Y 1933 B Y STATES [Figures in italics are not compiled b y the Bureau of Labor statistics, but are taken from reports issued by cooperating State organizations] State Total—all groups Manufacturing Amount of N um Number Per Per pay roll ber of on pay estab roll, Feb cent of (1 week), cent of lish ruary change February change 1933 ments 1933 N um Number Amount of ber of on pay Per pay roll Per estab roll, Feb cent of (1 week), cent of lish ruary change February change ments 1933 1933 Alabama............. — 434 Arizona................... 379 Arkansas_________ California------------- 21,940 Colorado................. 748 49,186 7,884 14, M l 223,763 26,048 + 2.3 + 1 .8 -.9 -.1 + .3 $522,294 161,400 197,078 5,371,668 524,992 + 4 .2 + 1 .8 -.9 + .6 + 1 .5 204 50 180 1,108 121 34,013 1,598 9,121 109,687 9,330 + 2 .8 + 2 .8 -.9 + 1 .0 + 4 .4 $337,245 33,591 106,523 2,480,489 168,212 + 3 .4 + 4 .5 - 2 .4 + 2 .9 + .7 Connecticut-......... 1,032 Delaware— .......... 125 District of Colum bia........................ 2 312 Florida......... .......... 575 Georgia................... 622 127,881 8,870 + .4 - 1 .7 2, 210,486 176,975 + 2 .4 -.9 639 52 109,770 6,717 + 1 .0 - 2 .2 1,744,035 129,600 + 3 .0 -1 .9 34,334 27,410 69,112 - .1 + 9 .2 -.6 726,443 395,398 813, 620 -3 .0 + 9.9 - 1 .0 52 130 299 3, 217 - 2 .7 11,959 +15.3 56,962 -.3 94,898 159,954 564,942 -2 .8 +20.1 -.3 Idaho.......................

These changes are computed from reports received from identical establishments in each of the months con sidered. In addition to including reports received from establishments in the several industrial groups regularly covered in the Bureau’s survey, excluding building construction, reports have also been secured from other establishments in these cities for inclusion in these totals. Information concerning employment in building construction is not available for all cities at this time and therefore has not been included.

Employment in the Executive Civil Service of the United States, February 1933 HE number of employees in the executive civil service of the United States was 9,277 less in February 1933 than in February 1932. Comparing February 1933 with January 1933 there was an increase of 326. These figures do not include the legislative, judicial, or Army and Navy services. The data as shown in the table below were compiled by the various Federal departments and offices and sent to the United States Civil Service Commission where they are assembled. They are tabulated by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, and published here by courtesy of the Civil Service Commission and in compliance with the direction of Congress. No information has as yet been collected relative to the amounts of pay rolls. Because of the importance of Washington as a Government center, the figures for the District of Columbia, and for the Government service outside of the District of Columbia, are shown separately. T 27 Approximately 12 percent of the total number of Federal employees are employed in the District of Columbia. The number of employees in the District of Columbia showed a decrease of 3.5 percent in February 1933 as compared with February 1932. The number of permanent employees in the District of Columbia decreased 3 percent, and the number of temporary employees decreased 12.3 percent comparing February 1933 with the same month of 1932.

In the table in order to make the figures comparable for the months shown, it was assumed that the number of these employees was the same in 1932 as in the month they were dropped (actual figures not being available from the Civil Service Commis sion) and the data for this month has been revised accordingly in this table. 2 N ot including the field service of the post office. 3 Less than one tenth of 1 percent. Employment on Class I Steam Railroads in the United States ATA are not yet available concerning railroad employment for February 1933. Reports of the Interstate Commerce Com mission for class I railroads show that the number of employees (exclusive of executive and officials) decreased from 980,501 on December 15, 1932, to 947,327 on January 15, 1933, or 3.4 percent; the amount of pay roll decreased from $114,284,718 in December 1932 to $110,229,285 in January, or 3.5 percent. The monthly trend of employment from January 1923 to January 1932 on class I railroads— that is, all roads having operating revenues of $1,000,000 or over—is shown by index numbers published in the following table. These index numbers are constructed from monthly reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission, using the 12-month average for 1926 as 100.
