TALBERT, Chief UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE W A SH IN G T O N ; 1933 TREND OF EMPLOYMENT September 1933 HE Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor presents herewith data compiled from pay-roll reports supplied by cooperating establishments in 17 important industrial groups of the country and covering the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Information for 89 of the principal manufacturing industries of the country is shown, following which are presented tabulations showing the changes in employment and pay rolls in the 16 nonmanu facturing industries included in the Bureau’s monthly survey, together with information available concerning employment in the executive civil service and on class I railroads. T Employment in Selected Manufacturing Industries in September 1933 Comparison of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in September 1933 with August 1933 and September 1932 M PLO YM EN T in manufacturing industries increased 3.2 per cent in September 1933 as compared with August 1933 and pay rolls increased 2.7 percent over the month interval, according to reports received from representative establishments in 89 important manufacturing industries of the country. Comparing the changes in employment and pay rolls over the year interval, it is seen that the level of employment in September 1933 is 26.3 percent above the level of September 1932, and pay rolls in September 1933 showed a jgain of 39.9 percent over the year interval. The index of employment in September 1933 was 73.9, as compared with 71.6 in August 1933, 67.3 in July 1933, and 58.5 in September 1932; the pay-roll index in September 1933 was 53.3, as compared with 51.9 in August 1933, 46.5 in July 1933, and 38.1 in September 1932. The 12-month average for 1926 equals 100. These changes in employment and pay rolls in September 1933 are based on reports supplied by 18,330 establishments in 89 of the princi pal manufacturing industries of the United States. These establish ments reported 3,362,727 employees on their pay rolls during the pay period ending nearest September 15 whose combined weekly earnings were $62,766,612. The employment reports received from these cooperating establishments cover approximately 50 percent of the total wage earners in all manufacturing industries of the country. These continued gains in September mark the sixth successive month in which increased employment and pay rolls have been reported in manufacturing industries. While the percentage gains E Cl) 2 in employment and pay rolls in September were not as pronounced as the gains shown in the 4 months immediately preceding, the increases continued on a broad scale, 73 of the 89 manufacturing industries reporting gains in employment over the month interval and 61 industries reporting increases in pay rolls. The average percentages of increase between August and Septem ber over the preceding 10-year period were 1.2 percent in employment and 0.5 percent in pay rolls. The increases, therefore, in September of the current year are somewhat larger than the average increases over the preceding 10-year period and may be attributed to a com bination of seasonal gains plus an increase in number of workers added to the reporting companies’ pay rolls by the adoption of N.R.A. codes. This increase of 3.2 percent in employment in manufacturing indus tries in September 1933 represents an estimated gain of over 200,000 workers between August and September, and the increase of 2.7 percent in factory pay rolls indicates that the total weekly pay rolls of factory employees in September were approximately $3,000,000 greater than the total weekly pay rolls disbursed in August in all manufacturing industries combined. The September factory employment index (73.9) shows a gain of 34.1 percent over the employment index of March 1933 (55.1), which was the low point of employment recorded in manufacturing indus tries. The pay-roll index in September (53.3) stands 59.6 percent above the level of the March pay-roll index of 33.4. These percent age changes indicate an increase in employment in manufacturing industries of approximately 1,700,000 workers over this 6-month interval and an increase of nearly $44,000,000 in weekly wages in September over the total amount paid in 1 week in March 1933. The most pronounced gain in employment over the month inter val was a seasonal increase in the cottonseed oil-cake-meal industry of 45.6 percent. The fertilizer industry also reflected the usual seasonal activity due to the fall shipping season with an increase of 28.2 percent in number of employees. Sixteen of the remaining 71 industries which reported increased employment showed gains rang ing from 10.2 percent to 24.1 percent, among which were the con fectionery, agricultural implement, shipbuilding, furniture, stove, machine tool, women’s clothing, and radio industries. Among the 16 industries in which decreased employment was reported in Septem ber, as compared with August, the cotton-goods industry reported a decline of 2 percent; silk and rayon goods, 1.9 percent; woolen and worsted goods, 5.4 percent; and the dyeing and finishing textiles industry, 16.8 percent. In the last-named industry, labor disturb ances in certain localities accentuated the decline. Ten of the 14 groups of manufacturing industries reported increased employment, 1 group (stone-clay-glass) reported no change, and 3 groups (textiles, tobacco, and leather) reported fewer workers in September than in the preceding month. The gains in the lumber, machinery, nonferrous metals, and chemicals groups were slightly more than 7 percent each. In the lumber group, furniture and saw mills reported pronounced gains in number of workers over the month interval; each of the industries comprising the machinery group reported increases in employment, the largest percentage gains appearing in the radio, engine, machine tool, agricultural implement, 3 and typewriter industries. Each of the 8 industries comprising the nonferrous metal group reported increased employment, silverware, smelting and refining, and jewelry reporting the largest gains. In the chemical group, seasonal increases in the cottonseed oil-cake-meal and fertilizer industries were outstanding, while the explosive, drug gists’ preparations, and petroleum-refining industries also reported gains in employment ranging from 13.6 percent to 6 percent. The food group reported a gain of 6.5 percent in employment between August and September, each of the nine separate industries compos ing the group reporting increases in workers with the exception of the beverage industry in which a seasonal decrease of 1 percent was shown. The beet-sugar, flour, and confectionery industries reported the most pronounced gains in this group. The paper and transporta tion groups reported gains in employment of 4.6 percent each, general expansions appearing in the paper box, paper and pulp, book and job printing, and newspaper industries in the first-named group. In the last-named group, the shipbuilding, locomotive, and automobile industries reported increases ranging from 11.5 to 4.2 percent, while the aircraft and the electric and steam-railroad car-building indus tries reported declines in employment over thejmonth interval. The iron and steel group reported a gain of 4.3 percent in employ ment between August and September. Of the 13 industries com prising the iron and steel group, only 1 industry (hardware) failed to show a gain in number of workers between August and September. The stove industry reported the most pronounced gain in employ ment in this group (13.2 percent) and the structural metalwork, forgings, and cutlery industries reported gains of slightly more than 9 percent each. The rubber products group reported an increase of 2.2 percent in employment and the railroad car repair shop group reported a gain of 1.6 percent. In the three groups in which decreases in employment were shown, the losses in the textile and tobacco groups were less than 1 percent, and the decrease in the leather group amounted to 2.4 percent, due to declining employment shown in the boot and shoe industry. Sporadic strikes continued to retard the general advances in em ployment in manufacturing industries, a number of firms in Various localities reporting partial or complete shut-downs due to labor disturbances. A number of these labor disturbances were reported in women’s clothing and knit-goods factories in^New York, dyeing and finishing plants in New Jersey, boot and shoe factories in Massa chusetts, silk mills in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and women’s clothing factories in Missouri. A comparison of the indexes of employment and pay roll in manu facturing industries in September 1933 with September 1932 shows that all but 5 of the 89 industries surveyed reported increased em ployment and all but 10 industries reported increased pay-roll totals over the year interval. The five industries reporting decreased employment were: dyeing and finishing textiles, millinery, electricrailroad repair shops, marble-granite^slate, and cigars and cigarettes. The 10 industries reporting decreased pay-roll totals were: butter; ice cream; sugar refining, cane; dyeing and finishing textiles; millinery; electric-railroad car shops; cement; marble-granite-slate; book and job printing; and newspapers and periodicals. 4 In table 1, which follows, are shown the number of identical estab lishments reporting in both August and September 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 September 15, the amount of their earnings for 1 week in September, the percents of change over the month and year inter vals, and the indexes of employment and pay roll in September 1933. The monthly percents of change for each of the 89 separate indus tries are computed by direct comparison of the total number of em ployees and of the amount of weekly pay roll reported in identical establishments for the 2 months considered. The percents of 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 weighing 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. 1 — C O M P A R IS O N 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 E ST A B L IjS H M E N T S IN S E P T E M B E R 1933 W IT H A U G U S T 1933] A N D S E P T E M B E R 1932 T a b le Em ploym ent Industry Food and kindred prod ucts....... .................................

Employment in Nonmanufacturing Industries in September 1933 M PLO YM EN T increased in September as compared with August 1933 in each of the 15 nonmanufacturing industries appearing in the following table. Pay-roll totals increased in all but three of these industries. Data for the building-construction industry are not presented here but are shown in more detail under the section “ Building construction .97 The increases in employment in these nonmanufacturing industries represent gains ranging from more than 200,000 employees in retail trade to only a slight gain in number of workers in the electric-railroad operation industry. The increase in retail trade reflects a seasonal gain in employment coupled with the effect of the the N.R.A. code. E 14 While increases shown in several of these industries were seasonal, the gains in practically all instances were more pronounced than usual, reflecting increased business activity combined with accessions in number of employees under the various codes. The increases in employment in September ranged from a pro nounced seasonal increase of 55.8 percent in the canning and pre serving industry, which reaches its peak of employment in September, to a gain of 0.2 percent in the electric-railroad and motor-bus opera tion industry. The anthracite-mining industry reported a gain of 19 percent in number of workers coupled with an increase of 30.2 percent in pay rolls reflecting seasonal demands. Retail trade establishments reported an increase of slightly more than 10 percent in employment coupled with a corresponding increase in pay-roll totals. The in creases in employment in the remaining 12 industries in the order of their percentage gains were as follows: crude-petroleum producing, 8.9 percent; dyeing and cleaning, 6.7 percent; metalliferous mining, 5.8 percent; bituminous-coal mining, 4.7 percent; wholesale trade, 3 percent; power and light, 2.8 percent; hotels, 2.1 percent; laundries, 1.8 percent; banks-brokerage-insurance-real estate, 0.7 percent; and telephone and telegraph, 0.4 percent. With the exception of the three industries comprising the publicutility group, each of the nonmanufacturing industries reported more employees on their pay rolls in September 1933 than in September 1932. In the following table are presented employment and pay-roll data for the nonmanufacturing industries surveyed, exclusive of building construction: 1 — C O M P A R IS O N OF E M P L O Y M E N T A N D P A Y R O L L S IN N O N M A N U F A C T U B IN G E S T A B L IS H M E N T S IN S E P T E M B E R 1933 W IT H A U G U S T 1933 A N D S E P T E M B E R 1932 ta b le Estab lish ments reportIndustrial group both Au gust and Sep tem ber 1933 Coal mining: Anthracite......................... 158 Bitum inous....................... 1,495 Metalliferous m ining.............. 271 Quarrying and nonmetallic m ining........ ........................... 1,152 Crude-petroleum producing. 244 Public utilities: Telephone and telegraph. 8,240 Power and light............... 3,098 E le c tr ic -ra ilr o a d and motor-bus operation and maintenance........ . 557 Trade: Wholesale.......................... 2,947 Retail.................................. 17,549 Hotels (cash payments on ly )1 2,638 Canning and preserving........ 1,021 Laundries____________ ______ 935 Dyeing and cleaning............. 344 Banks, brokerage, insur ance, and real estate............ 4,538 Em ploym ent Percent of Percent of change change N um ber on Sep Amount of Sep tem Au A u tem pay roll, pay roll gust to (1 week) gust to Sep ber ber Em tem Sep 1932 to Septem Sep 1932 to ploy tem tem ber Sep Sep ber 1933 ment ber tem tem ber 1933 ber ber 1933 1933 1933 1933 77,598 218,200 25,678 +19.0 + 1 .8 $2,412,795 + 4 .7 +15.1 3,443,759 + 5 .8 +32.8 517,134 35,442 26,304 + 1 .9 +. 4 + 8 .9 +17.8 516,932 692,052 245,724 201,108 + . 4 -1 1 .8 + 2 .8 -.9 6, 290, 218 5,667,250 -5 .2 3, 293,441 + 3 .0 + 6 .5 +10.1 +10.5 + 2 .1 + 2 .2 +55.8 +40.1 + 1 .8 + .9 + 6 .7 + 6 .4 2,119,915 7,931,714 1,743,194 1,835,076 859,513 211,131 124,331 82,505 405,422 140,362 152,969 56,815 11,942 178,827 + .2 a + .7 2 + .6 5,800,487 1 The additional value of board, room, and tips cannot be computed. 2 Weighted.

Man-hour data for the building-construction group and for the insur ance, real estate, banking, and brokerage group 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 indus trial 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.

Trend of Employment in September 1933, by States I N THE following table are shown the fluctuations in employment and pay-roll totals in September 1933 as compared with August 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 com bined 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, quarrying and nonmetallic mining, metalliferous mining, laundry, and dyeing and cleaning groups is 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 presented 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 o f employees and the amount of weekly pay roll in August and September 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 tabulation, 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. 23 C O M P A R IS O N OF E M P L O Y M E N T A N D P A Y R O L L S IN IDEN TICAL E S T A B L IS H M E N T S IN A U G U S T A N D S E P T E M B E R 1933, B Y S T A T E S [Figures in italics are not compiled b y the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but are taken from reports issued b y cooperating State organizations] Total, all groups State Manufacturing N um N um N um ber on N um ber on Am ount Amount ber of Percent of pay roll Percent Percent of pay roll Percent ber of pay pay estab roll, (1 week), (1 week), of of estab roll, of of lish Sep change Septem change lish Sep change Septem change ments tember ments tember ber 1933 ber 1933 1933 1933 505 64,724 Alabama.................

These changes are computed from reports received from identical establishments in each of the months considered. 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.

Comparing September 1933 with September 1932, there was a decrease of 2.1 percent in the number of permanent Federal employees in the District of Columbia. However, comparing these 2 months, the number of temporary employees increased 164.1 percent. This large increase in temporary employees caused a net increase of 4 percent in the total number of Federal employees in the city of Washington. Comparing September 1933 with August 1933, there was an increase of nine tenths of 1 percent in the number of permanent employees. This increase was largely caused by a number of employees in the N.R.A. being transferred from a temporary to a permanent status. Outside the District of Columbia the number of permanent em ployees decreased 3.6 percent and the number of temporary em ployees increased 13.6 percent, comparing September 1933 pay rolls with those for September 1932. Comparing September 1933 with August 1933, there was a decrease of 0.4 percent in the number of permanent employees, an increase of 32.5 percent in the number of temporary employees, and an increase of 1.8 percent in the number of total Federal employment.

There were 227,034 persons in the Emergency Conservation Work on September 30, 1933. This is a decrease of 65,000 as compared with August. The pay of the enlisted personnel is $30 per month, except that 5 percent of the personnel of each company are paid $45 a month and an additional 8 percent are paid $36 per month. The pay roll for this branch of the service are figured on this basis. The amounts paid to Reserve officers, line and medical, are not available at the present time. Data for this branch of the service will be shown beginning with the October figures. Employment on Class I Steam Railroads in the United States EPORTS of the Interstate Commerce Commission for class I railroads show that the number of employees (exclusive of executives and officials) increased from 1,002,177 on August 15, 1933, to 1,018,017 on September 15, 1933, or 1.8 percent. Data are not yet available concerning total compensation of employees for Sep tember 1933. The latest pay-roll information available shows an increase from $115,936,195 in July to $121,857,255 in August, or 5.1 percent. The monthly trend of employment from January 1923 to Septem ber 1933 on class I railroads— that is, all roads having operating revenues of $1,000,000 or over—is shown by index numbers pub lished 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.

Increases in wage rates averaging 21 percent and affecting 358,224 employees were reported by 1,937 of the 18,330 manufacturing estab lishments surveyed in September. Ninety-five establishments in the boot-and-shoe industry reported increases in wage rates affecting 55,538 workers, 205 establishments in the sawmill industry reported increases affecting 37,829 employees, 84 men’s clothing establishments reported increases affecting 16,165 workers, and 77 paper and pulp mills reported increases affecting 20,860 workers. One hundred and three foundry and machine shops reported wage-rate increases affect ing 17,864 workers, 41 automobile plants reported increases in wage rates to 15,776 workers, and 24 firms in the electrical-machinery group reported changes in wage rates affecting 13,496 employees. Increases in rates each affecting slightly more than 9,000 workers were reported in the iron and steel, glass, furniture, and cigar and cigarette industries. These changes in wage rates, as pointed out in connection with the changes reported last month affecting over 1,100,000 workers, do not necessarily represent an increase in average weekly earnings of employees, but they do represent a change in the hourly rates of pay whereby the worker receives as much pay for the shorter work week as he had received previously for longer hours at a lower rate. In a number of instances the increases in wage rates represent a restoration of w age cuts previously reported. T Of the 18,330 manufacturing establishments included in the Sep tember survey, 16,388 establishments, or 89.4 percent of the total, reported no change in wage rates over the month interval. The 3,004,326 employees not affected by changes in wage rates consti tuted 89.3 percent of the total number of employees covered by the September trend-of-employment survey of manufacturing industries Only five manufacturing establishments reported wage-rate de creases.
