This bulletin, continuing an annual feature o f the Bureau o f Labor Statistics in the
field o f industrial relations since 1941, provides a detailed statistical presentation o f
work stoppages in 1973.
Preliminary monthly estimates o f the level o f strike (or lock ou t) activity for the
United States as a whole are issued about 30 days after the end o f the month o f
reference and are available on request. Preliminary estimates for the entire year are
available at the year’ s end; selected final tabulations are issued in the early summer o f
the following year. The methods used to prepare work stoppage statistics are described
in appendix B.
The Bureau wishes to acknowledge the cooperation o f employers and employer
associations, labor unions, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and
various State agencies which furnished information for this program.
To expedite the release o f this information, the degree o f analysis included in
earlier bulletins has been omitted.
This bulletin was prepared in the Division o f Industrial Relations, O ffice o f Wages
and Industrial Relations.

Reversing a 2-year trend, most measures o f strike
activity rose in 1973. There were 5,353 strikes and lock
outs or 343 more than in 1972 and 2.3 million workers
or .6 million more participating in strikes than in 1972.
Accordingly, the average size o f a stoppage increased
from 342 to 421 workers per strike over the 2 years.
Total idleness increased by about 3 percent, from 27.1
million days in 1972 to 27.9 million days in 1973. How
ever, one key measure, the idleness rate, declined to 1.4
working days per thousand from 1.5 per thousand in 1972
as higher employment increased total available working
time in the year.
Work stoppage highlights o f 1973 were:
The parties to these disputes required about the
same time to settle their differences as in
1972— a mean average o f 24 days. Median
duration increased 1 day, to 9 days in 1973.
There was little difference in the number o f strikes
that lasted a month or longer— 1,221 in 1972
and 1,236 in 1973. However, the long stoppages
in 1973 were o f less importance because they
constituted only 17 percent o f all workers who
withheld their services and 63 percent o f total
idleness, compared with 27 percent o f worker’ s
affected and 78 percent o f idleness for the year
before.
Historically, about one-half o f all strikes occur
upon termination o f an agreement; 1973 was
no exception. These disputes were responsible
for 83 percent o f total idleness— the same as
in 1972. In these stoppages, 68 percent o f idle
ness occurred over wage changes. Disputes over
econom ic conditions caused more than onehalf o f the 1973 stoppages and nearly twothirds o f all days idle.
The 0.14 percent overall idleness rate reflected
wide variation among industries and divisions.
Idleness as a percent o f total working time ex
ceeded 1 percent in two manufacturing in
dustries— petroleum and rubber. A t the other
end o f the manufacturing scale were leather at
a 0.03 percent rate, and textiles and printing at
a 0.10 percent rate. In nonmanufacturing, the
highest rate (0 .5 5 ) occurred in mining which
had one-fifth o f all stoppages. More than 40
percent o f the idleness in 1973 took place
during June, July, September, and November.
After leading all States in idleness for the 2
previous years, New York ranked 6th in 1973,
with 1.6 million days away from work. Penn
sylvania had more days o f idleness (3 million)
than any other State. California and Ohio each
experienced
idleness.
more
than
2
million
days o f
Philadelphia ranked first among metropolitan areas
with 1.7 million days o f idleness. One-third o f
this idleness resulted from a 2-month Philadel
phia teachers’ strike. Other metropolitan areas
which experienced more than 1 million days
away from the jo b included: Detroit, Los
Angeles, and New York.
Although the number o f stoppages with 10,000
workers or more increased from 18 in 1972 to
25 in 1973, idleness resulting from these walk
outs declined by about 1.4 million days away
from work over these 2 years.
Heavily industrialized Region V, which included
3 o f the 5 States having the greatest strike
related idleness (O hio, Michigan, and Illinois),
led all other regions with 8.1 million days
o f f the jo b in 1973.

computed by multiplying the average employment for the

w ork stoppages to obtain inform ation on the num ber

Beginning in m id -1950, local offices o f State em
ploym ent security agencies w ould r e p o r t5 m onthly
on w ork stoppages com ing to their attention. It is
estimated that this additional source increased the
num ber o f strikes reported in 1950 about 5 percent,
and in 1951 and 1952, approxim ately 10 percent.
B ecause m ost o f these stoppages were small, they
increased the num ber o f workers involved and m andays o f idleness less than 2 percent in 1950 and
less than 3 percent in 1951 and 1952. In 1966,
State em ploym ent security agencies were the sole
source o f inform ation fo r 17 percent o f the strikes
recorded.
A s new local agencies having know ledge o f the
existence o f work stoppages are established or
changes are made in local collection m ethods, every
effort is made by the Bureau to establish cooperative
arrangements.
'U ntil 1969, the compilation of these reports was directed
by the Bureau o f Employment Security.
