IV 1 4 6 9 15 17 21 23 25 41 CONSTRUCTION IN THE W A R YEARS Total Construction Activity Expenditures for Construction The course of construction activity during the years 1940 to 1945 reflects clearly the pressures and tensions of a wartime economy. Stimulated first by the national defense program and later by the all-out war production effort, expenditures for con struction reached a new high in 1942— over 14 billion dollars. By 1944, however, as a result of the completion of most war construction and curtail ment of all nonessential building, expenditures had dropped to less than 5 billion dollars— a 66-percent decline. This was the most violent downsweep in any 2-year period for which reliable figures are available. Thus, the developing construction boom of the 1940’s was split in two by the war. Available evidence, dating from 1915, points to a similarity in the pattern of both long-term trends CHART I CONSTRUCTION EXPENDITURES COMPARED WITH GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT BILLIONS OF DOLLARS UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR BUREAU OF LABOR S TA TISTIC S in construction expenditures and general movements in the value of gross national product.1 M ajor swings occur in both series at about the same time, but fluctuations are more extreme in the case of construction. During the period between World Wars I and II, for example, construction volume and national product both were at peak in the last 1 Gross national product figures shown here are derived by the U. S.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE half of the 1920’s and both dropped to the low point in their cycle in the depression year of 1933. The range from peak to trough for construction expenditures was 79 percent (from 12.3 billion to 2.6 billion dollars), in contrast to 45 percent (from 99.4 billion to 54.8 billion dollars) for national product. From 1934 on, construction activity moved in the same direction with general business activity but expanded more rapidly, until 1942. Then the 1 2 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 ity cause repercussions upon other components of general business. For this reason, and because it is the largest single industry except agriculture, con struction is a particularly important part of the economy. impact of the war caused the two series to develop opposite trends— business continued sharply up ward while construction was forced to contract drastically. As soon as the war ended, however, construction began to expand £t a much higher rate than national product as a whole. Although these figures, which are in current dollars, may not state the case fully because they do not allow for changes in prices and differences in pricing bases between war and nonwar production, they demonstrate adequately the relationship of movements in the construction industry to those in the economy as a whole. The extreme year-to-year fluctuations which characterize construction activ T able 1.— Estimated Estimating construction expenditures Construction expenditures are a measure of the dollar value of construction work actually done. Hence, they differ from the building permit and con tract award series, discussed on pages 12-22, which represents the value of work planned to be started immediately or in the near future.

S. Department of Commerce. For 1939 and subsequent years estimates were made jointly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. S. Department of Labor, and the Office of Domestic Commerce.

Included under new construction is the value of major additions and alterations. Minor building repairs, which are shown separately, include those types of work for which building permits are generally issued. They exclude maintenance work such as painting, plumbing and heating, water proofing, papering, electrical repairs, etc., not incident to structural repairs. Estimates of expenditures for private residential building are based on the valuation figures recorded on reports of building permits issued, which are submitted to the Bureau of Labor Statistics by local building officials. These data are adjusted to account for residential building activity in non 4 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 permit issuing places, abandonments, and for the understatement of construction costs inherent in building permit valuations. Separate estimates are made for each of several types of private nonresidential building, based upon records of contracts awarded as reported monthly by the F. W . Dodge Corp. Estimates for the other types of construction, Federal and nonFederal, are for the most part derived from reports obtained from other government agencies and private industry, as well as published sources such as the weekly periodical, Engineering News- New private construction expenditures, which accounted for approximately 80 percent of all the money spent for new construction during the entire period of the 1920,s, dropped to 22 percent of the total in 1942, the first year of World War II. In 1942, outlays from private funds amounted to only 2.9 billion dollars, compared with the 1926 peak of over 9 billion dollars. On the other hand, an un precedented volume of publicly financed construc tion (10.4 billion dollars) brought the total for new work to 13.3 billion dollars— the highest level in the country’s history. Expenditures for military and naval facilities construction, which ordinarily account for only a few million, and even in 1918 totaled but 1.6 billion dollars, rose to over 5 billion dollars in 1942. This was almost two-fifths of the 1942 expenditures for all new work. The largest category after military and naval facilities was publicly financed industrial buildings, which reached the unprecedented amount of 3.4 billion dollars. In no year prior to 1941 was more than about 164 million dollars spent for con struction of new public industrial buildings. High way construction, which normally forms a larger part of the public total than any of the other classes, exceeded a billion dollars each year between 1925 and 1931 but fell to 675 million dollars in 1942. Private residential construction, at 1.3 billion dollars, comprised the third largest segment of new construction expenditures in the opening war year. This was less than half the amount (2.8 billion dollars) spent in the good prewar home-building year 1941. Record, and the annuals, Budget of the United States Government and Financial Statistics of Cities. New construction expenditures, 1942-45 TOTAL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY In 1943, new construction expenditures totaled 7.7 billion dollars— a drop of more than 40 percent from the 1942 high mark; in 1944, they fell even more— to around 4 billion dollars. Completion of most war construction projects was entirely re sponsible for the drop between 1943 and 1944. Private work was about the same in both years, 1.7 billion dollars, whereas public activity declined from 6 billion dollars in 1943 to 2.3 billion dollars in 1944. By 1944, construction of military and naval facilities was down to 837 million dollars; private residential building accounted for only 535 million dollars, and publicly financed industrial buildings for 507 million dollars. Commercial building financed from private funds shrank to 32 million dollars in 1943— the lowest dollar volume in any year for which estimates are available. In the middle 1920's this type of con struction came to over a billion dollars a year. Privately financed construction, previously re stricted by wartime necessities, was allowed to expand prior to the actual termination of the war. Limitation orders were eased at an early date, open ing the road to recovery of civilian construction. The problems connected with reconversion were not the same in the construction industry as those con fronting manufacturers. For example, there were no plants to clear out, very little war work to com plete, and few contracts to terminate. On the other hand, a great deal of recruitment was necessary to expand the construction work force. In addition, there was the task of organizing new undertakings, getting materials assembled on the site, and obtain ing sufficient supplies of building materials from plants operating far below capacity. W ork forged ahead on many fronts, however, as soon as labor was recruited and the required in ventories were accumulated. The latter, especially, presented grave obstacles, but they were overcome sufficiently for construction to advance notably in the closing months of 1945. The dollarvolume of new private construction put in place in the last half of the year was about double that for the first 6 months. For the year as a whole, new construction expenditures totaled 4.6 billion dollars, an increase of 13 percent over 1944. One of the outstanding features of this expansion was the marked shift in importance between publicly and privately financed activity. In the early part of 1945, expenditures averaged over 160 million dollars a month for new 5 public construction and around 120 million dollars for new private work. By December, the public construction volume dropped to 98 million dollars, but private activity rose to 352 million dollars. The greatest advance, by far, took place in pri vate nonresidential building construction. This was one of the first areas to be affected by the changing military situation. On M ay 29,1945, and again on June 11, the War Production Board relaxed the terms of L -412 to hasten the construction or alteration of industrial plants for the production of bottleneck items and essential civilian articles in short supply. These amendments were made to insure that limitations on construction would not obstruct the rapid reconversion of industry nor delay the reemployment in civilian production of the greatest possible number of workers. This policy was further implemented as soon as the war was over by the issuance of an order per mitting the building of industrial plants without W PB authorization after August 21, 1945. Con sequently, outlays for new private nonresidential building construction in 1945 amounted to over a billion dollars, three-fifths of which were for indus trial facilities. The 1944 figure for private non residential building (350 million dollars) was about a third of the 1945 total. Private new residential construction also in creased substantially in 1945. All during the war, home building had been subordinated to the needs of vital industrial construction, so that the demand for new houses was extremely urgent by the end of the period. On the assumption that the most expeditious way to get an immediate expansion of residential building was to remove restrictions on all construction, the War Production Board revoked L-41 on October 15, 1945. As a result expenditure figures for the last months of 1945 rose markedly. Within the short span of a year the monthly volume of private housing expenditures increased fivefold. In the first quarter of 1945 the monthly rate was about 23 million dollars, the lowest in the entire war period; by December, despite normal seasonal tendencies, it was 116 million dollars. During the entire year, 670 million dollars was spent for residential building— a fourth above the 1944 dollar volume. 3 Conservation Order L-41 was issued on April 9, 1942, placing all con struction under rigid control. The order made it necessary for builders to obtain authorization from the War Production Board to begin residential construction costing $500 or more; agricultural construction costing $1,000 or more; or commercial and other construction costing $5,000 or more during any continuous 12-month period. 6 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 CHART 3 CONSTRUCTION EXPENDITURES MONTHLY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS 1939 1940 UNITEO STATES DEPARTMENT OP LABOR BUREAU OP LABOR STATISTICS 1941 1942 1943 1944 1945 7 TOTAL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY T able 2 .— Estim ated construction em ploym ent, private and public projects , 19 2 9-4 5 1 Average monthly employment (m thousands) on— Average monthly employment (in thousands) on— Year and month Year and month All con struction Private projects 1929 _________ 1930 _________ 1931 _________ 1932_________________ 1933 _________ 1934 _________ 1935 _________ 1936 _________ 1937_________________ 1938_________________ 2,508 2,102 1,759 1,165 976 1,151 1,292 1,763 1,778 1,524 1,997 1,487 1,120 597 452 538 680 920 1,054 918 1939: Average___ _____ January.__________ February._________ March____________ June.

(Force-account employees are workers hired, not through a contractor, but directly by a business or government agency, and utilized as a separate work force to perform nonmaintenance construction work on the agency’s own properties.) Persons engaged in maintenance work are not included. These estimates indicate average employment during the month (as distinguished from the number of different persons shown on pay-roll or employment records) and have been derived primarily by the conversion of dollar-expenditure figures into employment by the use of average perform ance factors. Employment in the Construction Industry The employment averages are derived primarily by converting construction expenditure figures into the average number of man-months of labor ordi narily required to perform the volume of work reported, using a currently adjusted figure for the value of work performed per man per month. The average employment figures obtained for the periods specified (man-months of employment) may be considerably lower than the number of different individuals employed during these periods as shown on pay-roll records, because of the high turn-over in the construction industry. It should be noted that the above procedure is used only in the case of nonfederally financed con struction. In the case of Federal construction, employment is estimated directly from reports on employment obtained from contractors. Estimates of the value of work performed per man-month on non-Federal work are adjusted regularly for changes in average hourly earnings Estimating methods Construction employment figures presented in this section are estimates of the average number of workers employed in connection with construction operations in the United States. They include wage earners and salaried employees engaged on all types of new construction work and on alter ation, addition, and repair work of the kind usually covered by building permits. Force-account workers3 are also included, as well as self-employed persons, working proprietors, and workers employed by construction firms either on or off the construc tion site. The estimates exclude persons engaged in maintenance work. * Force-account employees are workers hired not through a contractor, but directly by a business or government agency, and utilized as a separate work force to perform nonmaintenance construction work on the agency’s own properties. 8 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 and in the average workweek of construction workers, as well as for changes in materials prices. They are checked periodically also against actual experience, using data on the operation of sample projects under construction. It is assumed in making these adjustments that contractors’ overhead and profit remain a constant percentage of the value of work performed. This assumption introduces error in the results, since the percentage undoubtedly changes with com petitive conditions and as mechanization and other developments in method of operation affect over head. Another assumption affecting the level of the employment figures is that productivity per man-hour is constant. While changes in produc tivity are ordinarily slow, they can be rapid when technological developments occur. They are both rapid and erratic during periods of shortages and other conditions of disorganization similar to those of the recent past. Sufficient information is not available to adjust for these considerations. The average employment figures shown must therefore be interpreted accordingly. Employment by type of project, 1941-45 During 1941 and 1942, employment on all types of construction projects exceeded the 2-millionmark for the first time in a decade. Average monthly employment on public construction proj ects, which had fluctuated relatively little during the 12 years 1929-40, rose almost constantly during early war preparations to an unprecedented level of 1.950.000 persons in August 1942. The decline from that month on was consistent and rapid. In fact, the decrease in 1943 released an average of almost 86.000 persons a month. (More than 90 percent of the publicly financed war construction program was completed by the end of 1943.) Average employ ment on public construction for 1943 was 957,000, compared with 1,488,000 in 1942, and by 1945, the average for the year was only 283,000. W ith recovery and growing economic prosperity, average employment on private construction projects rose steeply in the early defense period, reaching almost 1,800,000 in July 1941. The high employment volume in 1929 (which averaged 2J^ million for the year) was never again attained, how ever, for late in 1941 control of materials and restrictions on private projects were imposed to assure materials and men for war production. Private construction employment then decreased sharply to an average of 726,000 workers in 1942, slightly over half the 1,423,000 average for 1941. The decline to 375,000 in 1944 gave employment to 21 percent fewer workers in that year than in the depression year 1933. Although the monthly average for the entire year had recovered to only 685,000 in 1945, by December over a million persons were working on private construction, foreshadow ing the surge in postwar building.

About half the 2 million persons engaged on new construction in 1942 were working on federally financed nonresidential building projects such as barracks, ordnance plants, shipbuilding and repair facilities, and warehouses. This type of employ ment, which declined over 40 percent between 1942 and 1943 and another 63 percent in the following year, dropped to a monthly average of 157,000 in 1945. Because of the need for emergency housing and highways to move war goods, Federal residential building and non-Federal street and highway con struction were the next most important types of public projects in providing employment in the defense and early war periods. About 85,000 workers were employed on the former and 115,000 on the latter in 1941. By 1945, however, the re spective averages were 11,000 and 28,000. Home construction has been the most important segment of private building, and in 1941, the very 9 TOTAL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY good housing year, 627,000 workers were employed on privately financed residential building. A rapid decline to an average of 256,000 in 1942 was brought about by the initiation of construction controls in April of that year. In 1944, the monthly employ ment figure for new private residential construction averaged only 88,000; but it increased by almost 50 percent in 1945. Both residential and nonresidential building were given impetus by the lifting of wartime controls in 1945; however, the backlog of ready funds and completed plans was especially great in business and industry. Although privately financed non residential building accounted for only about half as much employment as residential building in 1941, the relationship was reversed as soon as the war ended. In 1945 an average of 200,000 persons a month were working on private new nonresidential building, compared with 129,000 on new housing construction.

It should be noted that figures shown for employment in all nonagricultural establishments exclude the self-employed, working proprietors, and firm members, whereas estimates for construction employment include such persons. In addition, the construction employment series is designed to show the total employment effect of construction activity and, therefore, includes em ployees of nonconstruction (or multi-industry) organizations who may engage in construction. For example, a firm concerned principally with the* marketing of lumber may at the same time contract for and build houses. Workers of such a firm would be counted in the nonagricultural series under wholesale or retail trade and again in the construc tion series under residential building. Recognizing that the two series are not directly comparable because of the inclusion of self-employed and firm members in construction estimates, the series do, nevertheless, provide a rough measure of the relative importance of all construction employ ment to total nonagricultural employment. Construction employment appears from such a comparison to be an exaggerated indicator of the trend in all nonfarm work, because it comprises a much greater proportion of total nonagricultural 10 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 T able 4.— Estim ated construction em ploym ent com pared with nonagricultural em ploym ent, 1929-451 Year Average monthly employment (in thousands) Percent of con struction em ployment on— Construction employment as percent of all non agricultural employment Non All Con Public Private agricul struction con Public projects projects struction tural Private 1929__________ 1930._________ 1931__________ 1932__________ 1933__________ 51,149 28,996 26,125 22,921 23,060 2,508 2,102 1,759 1,165 976 20.4 29.3 36.3 48.8 53.7 79.6 70.7 63.7 51.2 46.3 8.1 7.2 6.7 5.1 4.2 1.7 2.1 2.4 2.5 2.3 6.4 5.1 4.3 2.6 1.9 1934__________ 1935__________ 1936._________ 1937__________ 1938... 1939__________ 25,449 26,599 28,809 30,627 28,663 30,353 1,151 1,292 1,763 1,778 1,524 1,909 53.3 47.4 47.8 40.7 39.8 38.1 46.7 52.6 52.2 59.3 60.2 61.9 4.5 4.9 6.1 5.8 5.3 6.3 2.4 2.3 2.9 2.4 2.1 2.4 2.1 2.6 3.2 3.4 3.2 3.9 1940__________ 1941_____ .... 1942__________ 1943__________ 1944__________ 1945__________ 31,784 35,668 38,447 40,185 39,689 38,144 1,916 2,446 2,214 1,338 762 968 31.1 41.8 67.2 71.5 50.8 29.2 68.9 58.2 32.8 28.5 49.2 70.8 6.0 6.9 5.8 3.3 1.9 2.5 1.9 2.9 3.9 2.4 1.0 .7 4.1 4.0 1.9 .9 .9 1.8 1 Data on employment in all nonagricultural establishments cover wage and salaried employees and exclude self-employed persons, working proprietors, and firm members. All of the groups mentioned are included in the con struction employment estimates. The wage earners and salaried employees included in the construction series are construction and special trades con tractors’ wage-earner and salaried employees, whether working at the con struction site or in the contractors’ offices, shops, or yards. The construction employment estimates are designed to show all employ ment afforded by construction activity; thus, they cover all persons per forming work on, or employed on work directly incident to, new construc tion, major additions and alterations, and building repairs of the type for which building permits are usually issued. These employees are included even if working as force-account workers or as contract-construction em ployees in industries classified as nonconstruction for the purposes of the nonagricultural series. Persons engaged in maintenance work, however, are not included. Force-account employees are workers hired, not through a contractor, but directly by a business or government agency, and utilized as a separate work force to perform nonmaintenance construction work on the agency’s own properties. employment in prosperous peacetime years than in depression years. Construction activity is affected so directly by good or bad times that employment in this field increases or falls off proportionately more than in industry as a whole. Employment on construction projects comprised over 8 percent of the estimated total (31.1 million workers) employed in all nonagricultural establish ments in 1929. After this boom year, the proportion of construction employment to total nonagricultural employment dropped each year to an average of 4.5 percent in the depression years 1933-35. Con struction employment rose again in importance in the total nonagricultural labor force beginning with 1936; between 1936 and 1940 construction site workers comprised about 6 percent of all non agricultural workers, and in 1941 the proportion was 6.9 percent. Total industrial employment continued to rise steeply during the war years, while restraints on nonessential construction activity, instituted in 1942, and subsequent completion of the major part of the war construction program caused employ ment in the construction industry to fall off heavily. In 1943 construction employment comprised only 3.3 percent of the nonagricultural employed labor force, and in 1944 as little as 1.9 percent. By 1945, construction rose to 2.5 percent of total nonagri cultural employment, but that was still below the proportion for the depression year 1933. Volume of Federal Construction, 1935-45 A good indicator of the fluctuations in Federal construction in response to national programs and policies, is the value of contracts awarded and forceaccount work started on construction projects financed from Federal funds (either wholly or partially). Construction work by force account under a Federal agency is work for which no con tract is let but which is conducted directly by the agency itself. The workers are usually employed for a specific project at completion of which their services may be terminated. Data presented here are a compilation of reports from Federal agencies on the value of construction contracts they awarded or of force-account work they started. Estimates of actual expenditures on all public works, State and local as well as Federal, are given on pages 2 to 6. During the 11-year period January 1935 to December 1945, Federal construction awards and force-account work came to almost 29 billion dollars.4 Considerably more than half of that amount, or 16 billion dollars, was for nonresidential building construction; the remainder, over 12 billion dollars, was spent for such construction projects as highways and roads, housing, airports, bridges, reclamation, and water supply and sewer age systems. In addition to projects financed from regular Federal appropriations, four emergency or special construction programs were either in opera tion or introduced within the 11-year period covered. The first and largest of these was the Public Works Administration program, which began in July 1933 and was practically completed by December 1941. The next largest program, financed from W ork Projects Administration funds, but operated by *• 4 Data presented here somewhat understate the final value of contract awards, since it was impractical to ascertain every revision made in initial •construction estimates, and projects classified as secret by the military (including atomic bomb production facilities) are excluded. 11 TOTAL CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY other Federal agencies, included projects other than work relief and was in effect during the period July 1935 to December 1941. The other two programs were the low-rent housing projects under the United States Housing Authority, and the con struction of schools, water systems, sewer systems, and various other types of facilities needed in crowded war areas under the W ar Pubic Works program begun in late 1941. Trend , 1935-45 Although there has always been some construc tion financed by regular Federal appropriations, the PW A program in 1933 was the forerunner of largescale Federal public works programs. From 1935 to 1939 well over three-fifths of Federal construction award values were for PW A and W PA projects. After extension of PW A from funds made available by the Emergency Relief Appropriation A ct of 1935 and the inception of the W PA program financed from the same act, the contracts awarded or forceaccount work started in 1935 amounted to some what over billion dollars— 87 percent of the total for the year. Continuance of the PW A and W PA programs in 1936 raised the value of Federal awards slightly— from 1,478 million to 1,543 million dollars. Smaller PW A appropriations and a reduc tion in amounts transferred from W PA funds to Federal construction wprk in 1937 resulted in a drop in total Federal awards of nearly half a billion T able 5.— Value o f contracts awarded and force-account work started on construction financed wholly or partially from Federal fu n d s, by type of project, 1 9 8 5 -4 5 1 Value (in thousands of dollars) Type of project Total 1935-45 1945 1944 1943 1942 1941 1940 1939 1938 1937 1936 1935 All types of projects------------------------------- 28,558,712 1,029,571 1,342,536 2,518,878 7,814,446 6,014,091 2,394,938 1,686,874 1,689,992 1,046,067 1,543,246 1,478,073 Airport construction2.____________________ Building construction8 _______________ Residential________________________ Nonresidential_____________________ Conservation and development.____________ Reclamation_______________________ River, harbor, and flood control._______ Electrification4-------------------------------------Highway, streets and roads_______________ Water and sewerage_____________________ All other types5_________ ________________ 1,616,002 17,975,019 1,997,903 15,997,116 2,246,112 1,042,199 1,203,913 787,489 3,515,091 885,637 1,533,362 41,219 617,001 53,133 563,868 72,150 30,765 41,385 131,914 100,969 23,020 43,298 110,872 243,443 579,176 499,427 137,112 875,002 1,698,079 6,130,389 4,422,131 1,537,910 101,491 375,471 549,472 322,248 244,671 773,511 1,322,608 5,580,917 4,099,883 1,293,239 112,415 155,737 217,795 199,684 197,589 41,880 69,028 66,679 101,270 150,708 45,736 54,467 67,087 157,804 128,561 24,391 71,487 96,039 49,428 86,680 111,805 161,852 347,988 446,903 364,048 37,694 152,343 31,046 23,672 16,809 51,968 197,682 315,268 335,594 45,431 4,753 669,222 231,071 438,151 225,423 115,612 109,811 130,045 355,701 118,131 183,599 (6) 676,542 731,809 644,733 303,874 175,382 128,492 104,981 372,238 116,314 116,043 (6) 344,567 717,239 327,328 133,010 59,051 73,959 62,342 360,865 75,558 69,725 («) 561,394 763,465 497,929 189,710 73,797 115,913 24,685 511,685 154,807 100,965 (?) 442,782 77,833 434,949 438,725 158,027 280,698 5,497 381,037 136,243 73,789 1 Data somewhat understate the final value of contract awards, since it was impractical to ascertain every revision made in initial construction esti mates, and projects classified as secret by the military (including atomic bomb production facilities) are excluded.

The 1937 figure of 1,046 million dollars was the lowest for any year, except 1945, during the 11-year period. Passage of the Public Works Administration A ct of 1938 and the inception of the USHA program, however, caused total awards to mount again in 1938 and remain steady in 1939. The next few years witnessed the introduction of the “ defense program,” in June 1940 and the “ war program,” after the attack on Pearl Harbor. PW A and W P A were decreasing in importance, but the defense program, including the first cantonment camp project, pushed 1940 Federal construction awards to $2,395,000,000, well over two-fifths above the 1939 figure. With increased demands for mili tary camps and posts, and expanded construction of such production facilities as shipyards and air craft and other munitions plants, the total for 1941 rose abruptly to $6,014,000,000, over times that for the previous year. The peak was reached in 1942 when contract awards for the war construction program amounted to more than $7,814,000,000, or 27 percent of the total for the entire period 1935-45. A sudden drop occurred the following year, how ever, to a figure near the 1940 level because many of the most important war construction projects were already under way. Thus, in the 4-year period 1940-43, nearly 19 billion dollars worth of contracts were awarded for defense and war purposes, amounting to 66 percent of the 11-year total and over 2}/2 times the total for the 5 years 1935-39. 12 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 Further reductions occurred in 1944 as the bulk of the war construction projects were completed; and in 1945 the total dropped to $1,030,000,000, the lowest volume reported in any year in the period under discussion. Types of projects included in the program Of all the types of projects undertaken, nonresidential building construction was by far the most important. The money for nonresidential building (16 billion dollars), from 1935 to 1945, was allocated for schools, hospitals, post offices, public buildings of all types, and, tin connection with the war program, cantonment camps and barracks* hangars, magazines and storehouses, and the many different types o f industrial plants and factories required to produce the supplies and equipment needed by a Nation at war. Next in importance in amount of contract awards was street, road, and highway construction with about 3 % billion dollars. Over four-fifths of this amount was administered under the Public Roads Administration. Slum-clearance and low-rent housing projects accounted for nearly 2 billion dollars in awards and were built largely under jurisdiction of three agencies: The Housing Division of PW A, the United States Housing Authority, and the Federal Public Housing Authority, the latter having major responsibility for the large war housing program. Airport construction (withawardsof $1,616,000,000), river, harbor, and flood-control projects ($1,204,000,000), and reclamation projects ($1,042,000,000) were the only other types to reach the billion-dollar mark. The reclamation work that was carried on under Federal contract included large dams in the West and the T V A in the South. Enlargement and improvement of the Panama Canal, accounting for more than 275 million dollars appropriated in 1941, and construction of the Midtown Hudson Tunnel of New York City were among the largest heavy engineering projects accomplished in the 11-year, period. Miscellaneous projects swelled the total, especially in 1941 and 1942 when a great number of multiple-use military installations were begun. Sometimes as many as five or six different types of facilities were provided in one project— barracks, roads, sanitation, communication, and training facilities, hospitals, and administration buildings. Building Construction Building construction comprises the largest and most violently fluctuating part of total construction activity and strongly influences the behavior of the remainder. A great deal of nonbuilding construc tion, such as streets and highways, pipe lines, sewer systems, telephone equipment, which follows im mediately after or is performed simultaneously with building construction, constitutes the other part of what is practically a joint demand. When building construction rises and falls, therefore, nonbuilding moves in the same direction, although frequently not to the same extreme degree. During the 30-year period 1915-45, expenditures for building construction in almost every year amounted to at least half the dollar volume of all construction put in place, and in a number of years the proportion was well over three-fifths (table 1). In prosperous years especially, building construction forms the major part of the total. Trends in City Building 257 cities, 1921-45 T o relate current activity to past performances in city building construction, the Bureau of Labor Statistics prepares series showing the annual volume pf building construction since 1921 in 257 large cities5 (tables 6, 7, and 9). From 1929 on, buildingconstruction trends are reflected more accurately through indexes (see table 12), which are based on data from a larger and more representative sample of incorporated places. Both sets of figures reveal an almost continuous upward trend in permit valuation6 of building con5 Cities with population of 25,000 or more, of which there were 412 in 1940. The 257 cities are marked with an asterisk in the appendix— Building Construction Reported to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by City and by Class of Construction, 1943, 1944, and 1945 (p. 57). 6 Permit valuation figures are estimates based on reports of construction cost as recorded on building permits, and on notifications of Federal building construction contracts awarded. 13 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION T a b l e 6 .— Estimated valuation, and indexes, o f building construction fo r which perm its were issued in 2 57 cities, by class o f construction , 1 9 2 1 -4 5 1 [Indexes: 5-year average 1935-39=100] New nonresidential buildings New residential buildings All building construction Additions, alterations, and repairs Year Index number Valuation Index number Valuation Valuation Index number Index number Valuation |QM 1924.___________________ ;_____ $1,837,841,665 2,767,782,634 3,398,884,406 3,508,266,587 4,028,066,479 166.0 250.0 307.0 316.9 363.8 $933,868,739 1,614,891,486 1,998,393,400 2,038,427,392 2,390,390,182 187.9 324.9 402.1 410.2 481.0 $631,167,199 869,512,807 1,065,624,238 1,125,290,699 1,300,494,326 167.8 231.2 283.4 299.2 345.8 $272,805,727 283,378,341 334,866,768 344,548,496 337,181,971 116.5 121.0 143.0 147.2 144.0 1926._________________________ 1927__________________________ 1928. ________________________ 1929._________________________ 193a_________________________ 3,826,927,204 3,478,604,263 3,304,699,712 2,933,212,041 1,697,724,944 345.7 314.2 298.5 264.9 153.3 2,222,874,645 1,906,003,260 1,859,423,751 1,433,715,542 601,269,847 447.3 383.5 374.1 288.5 121.0 1,262,738,028 1,231,785,870 1,135,569,986 1,147,796,781 849,386,873 335.8 327.6 302.0 305.2 225.9 341,314,531 340,815,133 309,705,975 351,699,718 247,068,224 145.8 145.6 132.3 150.2 105.5 1931__________________________ 1932............................................... 1933__________________________ 1934._________________________ 1935__________________________ 1,237,457,788 481,219,448 383,363,271 413,335,750 690,980,829 111.8 43.5 34.6 37.3 62.4 426,270,111 103,445,244 92,175,207 78,322,545 213,547,937 85.8 20.8 18.5 15.8 43.0 622,830,444 275,509,435 183,241,951 197,407,829 288,503,017 165.6 73.3 48.7 52.5 76.7 188,357,233 102,264,769 107,946,113 137,605,376 188,929,875 80.5 43.7 46.1 58.8 80.7 1936._________________________ 1,074,041,134 1,187,141,752 1,185,561,486 1,398,020,069 1,760,881,878 97.0 107.2 107.1 126.3 159.0 460,957,356 475,966,515 580,028,372 754,471,224 797,284,564 92.7 95.8 116.7 151.8 160.4 376,062,438 434,602,894 382,633,246 398,430,016 720,323,251 100.0 115.6 101.8 106.0 191.6 237,021,340 276,572,343 222,899,868 245,118,829 243,274,063 101.2 118.1 95.2 104.7 103.9 2,043,689,769 1,651,899,995 796,629,716 720,343,577 1,172,364,909 184.6 149.2 72.0 65.1 105.9 869,659,543 478,756,747 327,986,684 207,038,816 350,175,495 175.0 96.3 66.0 41.7 70.5 906,299,499 986,022,154 301,560,271 291,385,390 505,226,097 241.0 262.2 80.2 77.5 134.4 267,730,777 187,121,094 167,082,761 221,919,371 316,963,317 114.4 79.9 71.4 94.8 135.4 1921__________________________ 1938 ZZ ZZZ ZZ ZZ ZZZ ZZ 1939._______________________ __ 194 a___________________ 1941_________________________ 1942____________________ _____ 1943__________________________ 1944._________________________ 1945__________________________ 1 Includes value of building construction in the 257 cities for which Federal construction contracts were awarded.

New York £ ity data are not exactly comparable throughout the years. From 1921 through 1944 figures presented here are based on applications filed rather than on permits issued. For the years 1942 through 1944 large projects which were definitely determined to represent postwar plans have been omitted. Figures for 1945 are based on inspection records and repre sent work actually started. Data for Boston are based on permit applications filed rather than building permits issued. struction, commencing immediately after the depression low in 1933 and lasting through 1941. This was followed by a sharp decline in 1942, further decreases in 1943 and 1944, and the first signs of recovery in 1945. Permit valuations in the 257 cities in 1944 were less than half as great as in 1942, the first war year, but were almost double the figure for 1933 when building slumped to the lowest point recorded in the 23^ 2decades for which data are shown. Valua tions were highest in the 1920,s, especially 1925 and 1926. Only in 1941 when national-defense building was in its stride has any year since 1929 even approached the level of building construction be tween 1922 and 1929. Except for 1935, the 1944 figure was the lowest in a decade; however, in 1945 valuations rose again by 63 percent. Usually residential building7 exceeds nonresidential, and in prosperous years it accounts for the 'major part of building activity. In the depression years 1930-35, on the other hand, and in the defense and war years 1941 and 1942, the reverse was true. In fact, new residential building valuations fell so low in 1933 and 1934 that they were considerably below those reported for additions, alterations, and repairs. In 1942 permit valuations in the 257 cities for nonresidential building were more than twice the residential, mainly because of extensive con struction of military and war industry facilities and rigid curtailment under Government order of nonessential building. 7 Building permit data on residential construction include hotels, lodging houses, and such miscellaneous living quarters as dormitories and clubs, in addition to the housekeeping accommodations which are referred to as “ new family dwelling units” in other parts of this section. 15 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATED PERMIT VALUATION OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION IN 257 CITIES BILLIONS OP OOLLARS UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS All three classes of building construction shared in the sharp decrease in activity from 1942 to 1943; additions, alterations, and repairs had the smallest decline and nonresidential building the greatest, so that again in 1943 the volume of residential building was larger than that of nonresidential. In 1944, when construction of war housing was nearly com pleted, residential permit valuations once more dropped below nonresidential and retained that relative position in 1945. Five leading cities.— New York C ity8 led all other cities for 21 years (1921-41) with respect to the dollar volume of permits issued for building con struction. In 1942, however, New York dropped to third place, and in 1943 it did not even appear among the five leading cities. Chicago moved into the lead in 1942 and remained there in 1943; Los Angeles ranked first in 1944 and 1945. New Orleans, Oakland, and Houston, in 1943, 1944, and 1945, respectively, were among the lead ing five for the first time within the 2J^ decades* * Data for New York City are not exactly comparable throughout the years. From 1921 through 1944 figures presented here are based on applications filed rather than on permits issued. For the years 1942 through 1944 large projects which were definitely determined to represent postwar plans have been omitted. Figures for 1945 are based on inspection records and repre sent work actually started. INCLUDES VALUE OF BUIL0IN6 CONSTRUCTION IN THE 257 CITIES FOR WHICH FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS WERE AWARDED under survey. Construction of enormous aircraft and shipbuilding facilities accounted for the greatest portion of increased activity in New Orleans and Oakland. Houston came to the fore in 1945 mainly because a huge N avy hospital building program got under way in the first part of the year and a spurt in private commercial building took place as soon as construction controls were lifted in the latter part of the year. New dwelling units.— Estimates of the number of new dwelling units for which permits were issued in the 257 cities, each year from 1910 to 1945, are presented in table 7. This series provides a reliable measure of year-to-year fluctuations in urban residential construction during the decade which included World War I. Since that time, however, the urban population of the country has been grow ing at an increasingly greater rate than in the 257 cities. Other biases inherent in fixed samples have also affected this series. Eor the period commenc ing with 1920, when these biases become noticeable, more reliable estimates of fluctuations in residential construction will be found in tables 13 and 14, which show the number of new dwelling units started in all urban and rural nonfarm areas. Permits were issued for more new dwelling units 16 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 in the 257 cities in 1941 than in any other year after 1929. Although the total of the 232,000 homes shown in table 9 for 1941 was over 11 times that for the low year 1934, it was only about half the volume for each year 1923 through 1926. By 1944 the number had dropped to only a little over a fourth of the 1941 figure, but was still 3 times the 1934 volume. There was a reversal of the down-trend in 1945, particularly in the last quarter of the year when wartime restrictions on all construction were lifted. The total in 1945 was 23 percent higher than in the preceding year. Though the Bureau of Labor Statistics index of residential rents moves within a narrower range than the index of new dwelling units for which permits were issued, it follows approximately the same cyclical phases, except in wartime. For example, in 1942 the rent index reached a 10-year high and remained at almost that level through 1945, whereas the index of new dwelling units decreased sharply in each year from 1942 through 1944. Increased demand, coupled with curtailment of all but the most essential building, tended to push up rents.

Single-family houses formed a higher proportion (79 percent) of the new dwellings in the 257 cities in 1945 than in any other year of active building shown in table 9. Two-family and multifamily dwellings, which were relatively popular during most of the 1920's, made up only 8 percent and 13 percent, respectively, of the total in the last war year. All urban areas, 1942-45 For the period beginning with 1942, the first year after the United States entered World War II, detailed estimates of city building construction are available for all urban areas of the country. Prior to 1942, data presented were a compilation of build ing permit reports received from a number of co operating cities. The Bureau of Labor Statistics began the regular collection of these data in 1920, at first including only the larger cities. Coverage kept expanding until (beginning in 1942) the num ber of cities reporting contained between 80 and 85 percent of the entire urban population, providing sufficient information to form the basis for total urban estimates.9 A t present, more than 2,500 cities cooperate. The urban area, by Census definition, comprises all incorporated places with a population of 2,500 or more in 1940 and, by special rule, a small number of unincorporated civil divisions. Non-Federal (private, and State and local government) urban building construction is estimated from the buildingpermit records which are collected by the Bureau directly from local building officials in every State except Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, where State departments of labor collect and forward the data to the Bureau. Estimates of federally financed building construction in urban areas are made from the notifications of construction contracts awarded, which are obtained by the Bureau from other Federal agencies. Valuation figures, the basis for statements con cerning value, are derived from estimates of con struction cost made by prospective builders when applying for permits to build, and the value o f contracts awarded by the Federal Government. No land costs are included. Unless otherwise in9 The method of estimating the total urban building volume is essentially the same as that used to obtain the housing volume in all urban areas, which is explained on pp. 28 and 23. 17 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION CHART 6 ESTIMATED PERMIT VALUATION OF URBAN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION MILLIONS OF OOLLARS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS 350 ALL BU ILDING a 350 CONSTRUCTION < 300 300 250 250 m t % / 200 S l l\ » ! \ 100 ! ./ y y 1 A /\ \J ^ 200 \V Y\ • \ / T0 TAL n \ n / / N __ A/ 50 150 \ 150 it I ' i l l * / 1\ \ .

Comparison by type o f building.— Permits issued and contracts awarded for new buildings as against additions, alterations, and repairs, represented 90 percent of the total valuation of all urban building construction in 1942, compared with 81 percent in 1943, 71 percent in 1944, and 76 percent in 1945. In contrast to the sharp drop (58 percent) in new construction from 1942 to 1943, valuations of additions, alterations, and repairs as a whole decreased only 14 percent. From 1943 to 1944 new construction continued downward another 23 per cent, while addition, alteration, and repair valua tions rose 32 percent. Both categories increased from 1944 to 1945— new construction by 90 percent and additions, alterations, and repairs by 50 per cent. Separating the residential additions, alterations, and repairs from the nonresidential, it is significant that there was a rise of 10 percent in valuations in the former between 1942 and 1943, but a decrease of 29 percent in the latter. In the last 2 years of the war, however, both residential and nonresidential additions, alterations, and repairs increased. T o some extent, the continued rise from year to year in valuations of residential additions, alterations, and repairs reflects increased emphasis by the National Housing Agency on using existing struc tures for housing in-migrant war workers. On the other hand, the decline of nonresidential ad dition, alteration, and repair valuations in 1943 was probably due in part to more extreme reduc tions for nonresidential than residential building repairs under W PB Conservation Order L-41, issued in April 1942. In 1944, substantial increases were reported in valuations for additions, alterations, and repairs on both residential and nonresidential buildings. The cumulating volume of old buildings in need of repair, as less new construction was started, prob ably resulted in greater leniency in authorizing maintenance and repair work on commercial and industrial' buildings. In 1945, owing to revocation of the construction limitation order in the last quarter of the year, the valuation figures rose even more sharply^—39 percent for residential and 59 T a b l e 11 — Estimated valuation and number o f new nonresidential buildings fo r which perm its were issued in all urban areas, by type o f building and by source o f fu n ds , 19J $~45l Total Type of building 1945 1944 1943 Non-Federal 1942 1945 1944 Federal 1943 1942 1945 1944 188,272 -30.2 269,831 -18.9 4,921 5,620 99,603 2,361 16,498 1,871 8,753 11,003 2,732 14,298 9,692 4,673 37,163 3,810 694 40 47,521 0 0 0 40,711 166 80,256 9,735 7,187 25 91 1,846 7,633 807 91,739 511 3 2 39,532 657 97,248 10,109 12,335 52 9,203 0 6,859 68 212,211 0 15 0 36,306 519 47,467 2,260 11,281 15 15,583 1 595 400 862,013 0 0 0 38,360 253 251,310 118,309 10,857 16 5,552 25 100,108 773 -53.8 1,673 -23.2 2,178 -20.6 2,742 670 664 3,539 547 64,342 512 133 530 152 638 197 18,354 6,157 3,673 11 1 175 0 0 0 175 2 288 28 79 2 6 6 120 10 457 3 1 1 328 8 468 59 150 4 64 0 193 2 738 0 1 0 216 5 570 63 194 5 190 1 15 3 732 0 0 0 186 7 1,411 233 142 2 8 3 1943 1942 Valuation (in thousands of dollars) All types--------------------- — - ...

Of the new building total in 1942, 62 percent consisted of nonresidential construction, chiefly because the federally financed industrial facilities program was then at its peak and the War Produc tion Board drastically curtailed the volume of privately financed residential construction early in the year. By the end of 1942, the bulk of the industrial facilities program was under way; con sequently, in 1943 well over half the new building valuation was for residential construction. Non residential building valuations maintained the same dollar volume in 1944, but residential construction continued to decline. Both types of building nearly doubled in the following year, but nonresidential comprised 56 percent of all new building valuations in both 1944 and 1945. The valuation of urban nonresidential buildings financed with Federal funds dropped 74 percent from 1942 to 1943, and continued to decline, though not so markedly, in 1944 and 1945. Nonfederally Table 12.— Indexes financed building also decreased in 1943 (more than 50 percent), but the following year, it turned upward; and in 1945 the dollar volume was almost 3 times greater than in 1944. Factory buildings, both federally and non federally financed, accounted for most of the fall in nonresidential valuations from the 1942 peak, and figured largely in the sharp recovery in private non residential building after VJ-day. Privately fin anced stores and warehouses, office buildings, garages and service stations, schools and libraries, and public utility buildings, followed the same general movement as all new nonresidential build ing financed with non-Federal funds. The valuation of institutional buildings, on the other hand, was maintained at approximately the same level through out the war years, chiefly as a result of the hospital program of the Federal Works Agency.

Permits were issued in urban areas for propor tionately fewer private single-family homes in 1943 than in any of the other war years. (See chart 7.) This shift toward two-family and multifamily dwellings (which comprised about a third of all private units in 1943) was caused principally by increased construction of war rental housing under section 608, title V I, of the National Housing Act. Section 608 was added to the act in M ay 1942, and authorized the insurance of mortgages on largescale rental projects for war workers. It made liberal financial arrangements available for multi family rental projects, “ having in mind the econ omies in use of critical material which generally are represented in this type of construction as compared with single-family dwellings/’10 By 1945, less than CHART 7 NUMBER OF NEW URBAN DWELLING UNITS FOR WHICH PERMITS WERE ISSUED DISTRIBUTION BY SOURCE OF FUNDS AND TYPE OF STRUCTURE PRIVATE ■ m I FAMILY I in 2 FAMILY MULTIFAMILY v:v.*v PUBLIC 12% mill i l l 1943 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS a sixth of the privately financed units were in twofamily and multifamily structures, and private single-family houses comprised well over threefourths of all new units (both public and private) for which permits were issued or construction contracts awarded in urban areas.

In 1945 public housing accounted for less than a tenth of the total, largely as a result of prompt action on the part of the Federal Public Housing Authority in canceling as many war hous ing construction contracts as possible the moment the end of the war became imminent. 10 Ninth annual Report o f the Federal Housing Administration, for the year ending December 31, 1942 (p. 23). 22 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 Comparison by months.— The monthly volume of urban building construction, for which permits were issued or construction contracts were awarded during the years of W orld War II, reached its peak of 332 million dollars in February 1942. In April, when the War Production Board issued Conser vation Order L-41 halting all nonessential con struction, permit valuations were only slightly under the peak. By August 1942 the volume was about half the February high, and during the rest of the year and all of 1943 it remained almost constant at slightly over 100 million dollars a month. In 1944, the monthly average was a little over 90 million dollars; and January 1945 valua tions of 66 million dollars were the lowest for any month during the entire war period. From that date on there was an almost continuous upward movement in monthly valuations. Seasonal influ ences in the earlier months of 1945; VE-day in May, with subsequent partial relaxation of controls over construction; VJ-day in August, clearing the way for total reconversion; complete removal of con struction limitation orders in October— all played a part in causing urban building construction to more than quadruple by the end of the year. The December 1945 total of 304 million dollars was only 9 percent under the wartime high. Residential construction volume varied from 127 million dollars in February 1942 to about a ninth of that amount (15 million dollars) in January 1945. Nonresidential building showed about as great a fluctuation— monthly totals ranging from a peak of 226 million dollars in July 1942 to 26 million dollars in February 1944. The volume of additions, alterations, and repairs, on the other hand, moved within a much narrower range than valuations for new buildings. From the low (12 million dollars) reported in January 1943, the rise in addition, alter ation, and repair work was almost constant, except for seasonal variations, and reached the peak (58 million dollars) for the 4 years in October 1945. The relative importance of the Federal war con struction program in the monthly volume of urban building construction was considerably less after 1942. In 1942 Federal valuations accounted for more than half the urban total, in each of 9 months, and in M ay and July they were much more than twice the non-Federal valuations. In contrast, from April 1943 on, the non-Federal exceeded Federal figures. By December 1945, Federal build ing valuations (2 million dollars) were only a very small fraction of non-Federal valuations (302 million dollars). New Housing Units in Nonfarm Areas Estimates of new housing construction— ordi narily comprising the largest segment of total build ing construction (discussed in the preceding section) — are made by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the entire nonfarm area. The dwelling units covered are housekeeping units in new structures. Units provided by conversion of existing structures at the original site, or nonhousekeeping units such as those in dormitories, barracks, rooming houses, or hotels, are excluded. Estimating dwellings started The “ nonfarm area” consists of all urban and rural nonfarm places. The urban designation, as previously stated, is applied to all incorporated places with a population of 2,500 or more in 1940, and by special rule, to a small number of unincor porated civil divisions. Rural nonfarm housing construction includes all but farm homes in unin corporated areas and incorporated places of less than 2,500 population. A permit to build is required in the majority of cities and in many rural incorporated and a few unincorporated areas. The size, and the builder's estimate of the cost, of the proposed structure are usually recorded on these permits, thereby provid ing a clear indication of the volume of building to be carried on in the locality. The Bureau receives summaries of building-permit records not only from the cooperating cities previously mentioned, but also from 1,700 rural incorporated places, and about 350 unincorporated areas— that is, from practically every place in the Nation that requires a permit to build. Using the building-permit reports as a basis, an estimate of the monthly volume of privately fin anced housing in urban areas is made first and then combined with a similar estimate for rural nonfarm places. T o derive the urban estimate, the cities reporting building-permit data to the Bureau are arrayed by State, population-size group, and location inside or outside a metropolitan district; the volume and value of residential building during the month is summarized for each class of place. The estimate for all urban areas in the country is prepared by the simple method of applying to the volume of housing reported for each type of place, BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 23 the ratio of the total number of such places in the country to the number reporting that month. The ratio is usually 1 for places of 25,000 population or over, because reports are received monthly from virtually all of these. For places of 5,000 to 25,000 population the number of reports is great enough so that the multiplying figure is seldom over 3, and for places of 2,500 to 5,000 population it is rarely over 8. The estimates are further adjusted for lapsed building permits and time lag between issuance of permits and start of construction, beginning with 1945, when these influences became really significant. Prior to 1945, the issuance of a building permit was almost assuredly a sign that construction would be started immediately. Information on lapse and lag in building permits is derived from periodic surveys in representative areas over the entire country. The volume of rural-nonfarm housing started prior to 1945 was determined with the use of a bench-mark estimate for each geographic division as of the last quarter of 1939, and a ratio of ruralnonfarm to urban residential building, as derived from detailed housing enumerations made by the Bureau between 1940 and 1942 in 138 defense areas. The bench mark and ratio were used, together with trend information revealed by the volume of hous ing in the rural-type places reporting building per mit data to the Bureau each month, to derive the estimate of rural-nonfarm housing started. The current method of determining the amount of rural-nonfarm housing started, beginning with 1945 data, is to apply to the estimate for all urban places the ratio of the number of units started in the rural-nonfarm areas to the number in urban places in a carefully selected group of 90 repre sentative areas. The rural-nonfarm estimate is then added to the urban estimate to obtain the figure for the entire nonfarm area. Data on publicly financed units are enumerations rather than estimates. The number and location of public units started are reported to the Bureau monthly by the agencies awarding the contracts or performing the work, and are added to the estimates for privately financed units to obtain a total of all nonfarm housing started during the month. Monthly estimates of the number of new family dwelling units started in all urban and rural-non farm areas are available for the period beginning with 1939 (table 15); annual figures for the nonfarm area as a whole date from 1910 (table 13). 24 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 Trends from 1910 through 1945 The wide range over which construction of new nonfarm housing has varied in the 36-year period from 1910 through 1945 is shown in table 13. The annual volume dropped from a total of 475,000 units started in 1910 to 120,000 in the war year 1918, increased to 937,000 in 1925, the highest level recorded to date, declined again to the depression low of only 93,000 units in 1933, and recovered to a total of 715,000 in 1941, just before the United States entered World War II. The 1944 total (169,000) was the low point for the war years, but by 1945 the annual volume had increased again to 226,000. T able Another indication of the year-to-year variations in the amount of new housing started in nonfarm areas may be seen in chart 9. During 1925, for example, the rate of construction was so high that 1134dwellings were started for each 1,000 of popu lation, compared with only 1 in 1933, 7 in 1941, and 2 % in 1945. World Wars I and II had similar effects on the number of dwellings started in nonfarm areas. In 1917, as in 1942, the volume of new units declined sharply and continued to decline through the second year of the United States’ active participation in the war, as strict priority controls were applied to conserve scarce labor and materials. The rate of decline was much greater, however, in 1917-18 than 13.— Estim ated number o f new fa m ily dwelling units started in nonfarm areas, by type o f area and by type o f structure, 1 9 1 0 -4 5 1 Number of dwelling units by— Number of dwelling units by— Year Total nonfarm dwelling units Type of area1 2* Urban 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1915 ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ Rural nonfarm Type of structure Yew- Multi 1-family 2-family8 family4 5 330.000 247.000 449.000 196.000 359.000 1922 _______ 1923 _______ 1924 _______ 1925 _______ 1926 _______ 1927______________ 1928______________ 716,000 871.000 893.000 937.000 849.000 810.000 753,000 574.000 698.000 716.000 752.000 681.000 643.000 594.000 — 400.000 236.000 174.000 64.000 45.000 49.000 109,000 94.000 80.000 70.000 48.000 77.000 316.000 227.000 187.000 118.000 76,000 109,000 1935______________ 221,000 117.000 104.000 1936.______________ 319.000 211.000 108.000 336.000 218,000 118,000 1937 _________________________________ _______ 406.000 262,000 144.000 " 'T looo* 1938 359.000 156.000 1939 _______ 63,000 1940______________ 515.000 603.000 397.000 206.000 133.000 183.000 1941 ___________ 715.000 440.000 275.000 497.000 281.000 216.000 ___________ 186.000 1942 350.000 209.000 141,000 ___________ 208,000 1943 _____ 169.000 115.000 54.000 241.000 1944 82.000 226.000 144.000 257.000 1945®.___________ 245,000 161.000 84,000 239.000 1945 (unadjusted)6™ 183.000 244.000 267.000 317.000 399.000 486.000 .... . 120.000 5i”ooo *To2,*o6o’ 90,000 316.000 24j000 70.000 437.000 513.000 534.000 572.000 491.000 454.000 436.000 146.000 175.000 173.000 157.000 117.000 99.000 78.000 142.000 173.000 177.000 185.000 168.000 167.000 159.000 Type of structure Rural nonfarm 1929. 1930. 1931. 1932. 1933. 1934. 480.000 230.000 Type of area2 Urban 475.000 480.000 490.000 455.000 445.000 475.000 _______ 1916 1917 _______ 1918 _______ 1919______________ 1920______________ 1921______________ Total nonfarm dwelling units 509.000 330.000 254.000 134.000 93,000 126.000 1-family 2-family® 613.000 391.000 286.000 145,000 51.000 29.000 22.000 7.000 5.000 5.000 Multi family4 142,000 74.000 45.000 9,000 12.000 12,000 8,000 30.000 61.000 53.000 71.000 87.000 80.000 34.000 68,000 86,000 14.000 16.000 18,000 29.000 37.000 20.000 18,000 11,000 Tl9"66o .. io^ooo 46.000 13.000 lajooo 1 Data for 1920-29 are from National Bureau of Economic Research; data for 1910-19 and 1930-45 are from Bureau of Labor Statistics and are based primarily on building permits issued and Federal construction contracts awarded.

Such adjustments were not necessary in previous years, since lag and lapse in building permits were not significant then. Adjusted 1945 figures not available for dwelling units by type of structure. 6 Unadjusted figures for 1945 represent the estimated number of dwelling units for which permits were issued and Federal construction contracts awarded. Compare with tables 26, 29, and 33. in 1942-43. The reason for this was that during the Second World War, there were larger numbers of dislocated people, because of vastly greater pro duction needs, more drastic shifts in industry dis tribution, and more extensive mushrooming of new war plants in nonindustrial areas. Thus, construc tion of a considerable volume of new homes was required to house war workers, and the Federal Government was obliged to participate actively in providing emergency housing. Well over a third of all new units started during World War II were federally financed, whereas very little housing was federally financed during World War I. The urgent need for war housing and Federal participation in the program resulted in a less marked decline in residential construction during World War II than many had anticipated. In fact, housing units financed with public funds— most of which were defense or war housing of a temporary nature— increased more rapidly than private housing from 1939 to 1942. In 1939, 57,000 units, or only about a tenth of the new dwellings in BUILDING CONSTRUCTION C H AR T 9 NONFARM HOUSING IN RELATION TO POPULATION SELECTED YEARS 0 W E L L IN 6 U N ITS S TA R TE D FO R E A C H 1 ,0 0 0 P E R S O N S 1916 1917 1918 1925 1933 1941 1945 U N IT E D S T A T E S D E P A R TM E N T O F L A B O R B U R E A U O F L A B O R S T A T IS T IC S S o u rce : B U R E A U O F C E N S U S E S T IM A T E S FO R 1 9 4 4 AN D 1945 C IV IL IA N P O P U L A TIO N !

During the 5-year period 1939-43, over half a million new units were started with public funds, nearly 200,000 of which were begun in 1942 alone. After that, the need for war housing in critical areas declined, and construction of new public units fell off until, in 1944, less than a fifth (18 percent) of all new dwell ings were publicly financed. In 1945, the proportion was only 8 percent, or 18,000 units. In spite of the large Federal program to provide war housing, private builders started the bulk of the residential building in the defense and war years. In the 5 years between July 1940 (when housing T able was first coordinated with defense activities) and August 1945 (the end of the war) 1,625,000 pri vately financed units were put under construction, compared with 557,000 public units. Of the private units, 619,000 were started in 1941— the best homebuilding year since the boom of the 1920’s. The volume of private dwellings dropped rapidly during the following 3 years, because of acute short ages of both building materials and labor. By 1944, the annual total was only 139,000 units, less than a fourth of the 1941 figure and the smallest annual volume in a decade. In 1945, however, there was a 50-percent rise over the previous year in new private housing, and 208,000 such units were started. 14.— Estim ated number and construction cost o f new fa m ily dwelling units started in nonfarm areas, by source o f funds, 1 9 2 0 -4 5 Total nonfarm Year 1920______ _____ 1921......... .......... 1922___________ 1923__ ______ 1924............... . 1925___________ 1926.__ ______ 1927—................ 1Q?« 1050 1930.__________ 1931___________ 1932___________ Privately financed Publicly financed Number Construc Number Construc Number Construc of cost of of cost (in dwelling tion cost (in dwelling tion dwelling tion (in thou thousands)1 thousands) units sands)* units units 247,000 449,000 716,000 871,000 893,000 937,000 849,000 810,000 753.000 509.000 330.000 254.000 134,000 $1,068,000 1,771,000 2,957,000 3,775,000 4,065,000 4,475.000 4,112,000 3,910,000 3.613.000 2.453.000 1,494,488 1,104,600 407,040 247,000 449,000 716,000 871,000 893,000 937,000 849,000 810,000 753.000 509.000 330.000 254,000 134,000 $1,068,000 1,771,000 2,957,000 3,775,000 4,065,000 4,475,000 4,112,000 3,910,000 3.613.000 2.453.000 1,494,488 1,104,600 407,040 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 o o 0 0 0 Total nonfarm Year Privately financed Publicly financed Number Construc Number Construc Number Construc of of of tion cost dwelling tion cost (in dwelling tion cost (in dwelling (in thou thousands) units units thousands)1 units sands)3 1933___ .. „ 93,000 1934__________ 126,000 1935__________ 221,000 1936__________ 319,000 1937__________ 336,000 1938__________ 406,000 1939__________ 515,000 1940._________ 602,600 104.1 715,200 104.5 496,600 1043 ____________ 350,100 1944..........— 169,400 225,700 1945*.______ $285,446 368,483 757,397 1,271,039 1,382,360 1,583,936 1,948,340 2,299,447 2,852,778 1,716,091 1,016,422 560,715 1,005,327 93,000 126,000 215,705 304,225 332,406 399,294 458,458 529,571 619,460 301,193 183,660 138.779 208,118 $285,446 368,483 732,522 1,193,733 1,365,791 1,561,610 1,763,932 2,072,155 2,530,765 1,133,846 660,459 483,231 959,251 0 0 5,295 14,775 3,594 6,706 56,542 73,029 95,740 195,407 166,440 30,621 17,582 0 0 $24,875 77,306 16,569 22,326 184,408 227,292 322,013 582,245 355,963 77,484 46,076 1 Based on permit valuations adjusted for understatement of construction costs.

It is believed these influences were negligible prior to 1945. Monthly variations; influencing legislation and regulations, 1939-4511 From the high point of 190,800 in the second quarter of 1941, the number of privately financed units started showed a small decline of only 4 per cent in the third quarter. The sharp decline (33 percent) from the third to the fourth quarter is explained in part by normal seasonal tendencies and in part by the fact that the growing shortages of strategic materials influenced some builders against starting new construction until Government policy and the supply situation became clarified. In order to assist private builders operating in areas of acute housing shortage, the Office of Pro duction Management (later the War Production Board) began on September 22, 1941, to grant priorities assistance in obtaining necessary mater ials. The real need for this type of assistance at that time is shown by the fact that priorities assist ance was extended to an estimated 40 percent of all new units started during the first 3 months of 1942. The rise in housing construction which followed the depression years in the 1930’s continued after the outbreak of war in Europe, as a result of the increased demand for emergency housing in defense areas and easier financing through the Federal Housing Administration, together with generally improved economic conditions. In 1939, the num ber of new family dwelling units started in nonfarm areas averaged about 43,000 per month. The monthly figure continued gradually upward in the succeeding year and a half, except for seasonal fluctuations, until it reached over 77,000 in June 1941. 11 For discussion of developments during the first 6 months of 1946, see M onthly Labor Review, January 1947 (pp. 11-23): Trends in Housing During the W ar and Postwar Periods. 27 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION The growing shortages in critical materials, how ever, foreshadowed the halting of all nonessential residential construction. On April 9,1942, the War Production Board issued Conservation Order L-41, prohibiting builders to start, without priorities, any new residential construction costing $500 or more (later reduced to $200) during any continuous 12month period. No priorities were necessary to replace structures 4'destroyed after December 31, 1941, by fire, flood, tornado, earthquake, act of God, or the public enemy.” In addition, priority assist ance was restricted to units with a sales price not to exceed $6,000 or a shelter rental not in excess of $50 per month. The location of any such construc tion was also restricted to sites within 2 miles either of the war industry to be served or of adequate public transportation. Shortly after the start of the defense program, it was recognized that because of the unusual risks involved, private builders would require encourage ment in supplying homes for defense workers in many areas. Consequently, Congress in March 1941 added title VI to the National Housing Act, T able 15.— Estimated which governs the operations of the Federal Hous ing Administration. This amendment allowed liberal mortgage insurance terms to builders who would provide low-cost housing to war workers in specific areas designated by the President. During 1941 only an estimated 27,800 of the estimated 220,400 FHA insured units on which construction was started were insured under title VI. During 1942, however, private builders took full advantage of the liberal terms offered, with the result that an estimated 118,900 units, or 72 percent of the 165,700 FH A units started, were under title VI (114,600 under section 603, the March 1941 enactment, and 4,300 under sec. 608, added to the title in M ay 1942 to provide insured financing o f war rental housing). Housing insured under title VI reached peak in 1943 when 145,500 units, or almost all of the FHA starts, came under that title (125,500 under sec. 603, and 20,000 under sec. 608). Insured under titles I and II were 192,600 units started during 1941, 46,800 units started in 1942, and less than 700 in 1943. In 1944, all but 200 o f the 93,300 units started were insured under title V I, number o f new fa m ily dwelling units started in nonfarm areas, by source o f funds and by months, 1 9 3 9 -4 5 1 Number of dwelling units Total Year and month Nonfarm 1939________________________________________ January.________________________ February._______________________ March--------------------------------------April----------------------------------------May___________________________ jS^ zzzzzzzzzzzzz August.-------------------------------------September______________________ October------------------------------------November.______________________ December----------------------------------194a________________________________________ January.________________________ February._______________________ March__________________ i______ April.---------------------------------------May___________________________ June.___________________________ August.-------------------------------------September.______________________ October_________________________ November.______________________ December.______________________ 1941.

It is believed these influences were negligible prior to 1945. and by 1945, the estimated 41,200 starts were divided more equally— 17,300 under title I and II; 23,900 under title VI. Notwithstanding that private builders began to curtail their operations late in 1941, their activity was not seriously affected until the second quarter of 1942 when Conservation Order L-41 was issued. The 81,100 private units started during that quarter were about 25 percent less than during the preceding 3 months and almost 60 percent less than during the corresponding quarter of 1941. Private activity continued to decline thereafter, reaching a low of 26,000 units in the last quarter of 1944. Although the number of privately financed dwellings started dropped substantially in the second quarter of 1942, the total nonfarm volume actually increased (from 138,500 units in the first quarter to 166,600) because public housing was at peak. In fact, the 85,500 publicly financed units started in the second quarter of 1942 exceeded the private volume. Public housing was fairly well sustained throughout 1943, but it too dwindled in 1944. The low point was reached in September 1945. Early in 1940, when the possibility of housing shortages began to threaten the defense program, Congress acted to utilize the organization of the United States Housing Authority to avert this 29 BUILDING CONSTRUCTION danger by authorizing it to provide homes for military personnel and defense workers (Pub. L. 671, 76th Cong.). As the war housing program grew in magnitude, other agencies, notably the Federal Works Agency which was charged with administration of funds appropriated under the Lanham Act, entered this field of activity. By February 1942, there were 16 different Federal agencies concerned with war housing construction, and on February 24, 1942, the National Housing Agency was created by Executive order, in order to consolidate these activities. The Federal Public Housing Authority of the National Housing Agency became responsible for the construction of all federally financed nonfarm housing except that built on military reservations. For various reasons some projects were assigned for construction to other agencies, but most projects were constructed under the direct supervision of the Federal Public Housing Authority or of local housing authorities. Funds for publicly financed war housing were authorized through six major acts and by transfer of funds authorized by the Congress from other branches of the Government. The principal sources of these funds were (1) the Lanham Act, as amended (Pub. L. 849,76th Cong.), which authorized the National Housing Adminis tration to provide war housing and authorized funds to be appropriated for this purpose; (2) the tempo rary shelter acts (Pub. L. No. 9, No. 73, and No. 353, 76th Cong.) which appropriated money specifically for temporary housing; (3) USHA T a b l e 16.— Estimated number o f new fa m ily dwelling units started in nonfarm areas, by source o f funds and by quarter, 1 9 8 5 -4 5 1 Number of dwelling units Number of dwelling units Publicly financed Year and quarter Total nonfarm Privately financed Total 1935.. 1936... 19371938_ 1939... 19401941— . 221,000 319,000 336,000 406,000 515,000 602,600 715,200 215,705 304,225 332,406 399,294 458,458 529,571 619,460 5,295 14,775 3,594 6,706 56,542 73,029 95,740 1942.

L. 671, 76th Cong.) which authorized use of funds available to the United States Housing Authority for war rental housing; (4) Defense Homes Corporation, loans obtained from the R FC to build permanent housing for use of war personnel during the emergency, with the intention of selling as expeditiously as possible; and (5) the Arm y-Navy appropriation measure (Pub. L.781, 76th Cong.) which appropriated funds to provide rental housing for families of personnel at Army and N avy bases. A t the close of 1944, $2,340,712,028 had been committed or allotted for war housing from the total public funds ($2,355,348,894) made available, leaving $14,636,866 to carry on the program. On April 25,1945, and prior to the termination of hostilities, the Congress appropriated $84,373,000 for war housing to be constructed under the pro visions of title I of the Lanham Act. However, the suspension of war housing projects after VJ-day affected savings totaling $77,727,000. Title V was added to the Lanham A ct by Public Law 87, approved June 23, 1945. This law author ized the Federal Works Administrator to provide housing for distressed families of servicemen and for veterans and their families who were affected by evictions or other unusual hardships in those areas where their needs could not be met through utili zation of the existing housing supply. Title I funds were made available for title V purposes. Additional funds for carrying out the provisions of title V of the Lanham A ct were provided by 746862°— 48------3 30 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 Congress in December 1945 through two measures; the Mead-Lanham resolution, Public Law 292, which authorized appropriations of $160,000,000, and the first deficiency appropriation for the fiscal year 1946 (Public Law 269), which appropriated $191,900,000 for veterans housing. N o new permanent housing could be constructed under title V as amended. Temporary housing only could be provided by moving existing temporary housing from areas where the war need had passed to areas where such housing was needed for veterans, or by converting surplus Federal structures or facili ties into temporary housing for veterans. Stimu lated by the initiation of this program, the monthly volume of publicly financed dwellings started, began to recover slightly in the closing months of 1945. From a peak of 59,600 in 1941, the monthly average of total nonfarm starts dropped to 41,400 in 1942 and to 29,200 in 1943, reaching a low of 14,100 in 1944. B y 1944 the war housing program for in-migrant war workers (H - l housing) had passed its peak. T o meet general civilian needs and to establish the pattern for the expected transi tion period, the National Housing Agency initiated two new programs: H -2 housing, which permitted construction of dwelling units of up to $8,000 valu ation under certain conditions of community hard ship; and the H -3 program, which was designed to relieve individual hardship cases. The H -2 program, however, was brought up short at the start of 1945 by further demands of war. After the German counter attack in December 1944, the Area Production Urgency Committees of the War Production Board turned down most applications to start H -2 housing. It was feared that the Nation did not have the manpower to build houses and also to keep war production going at top speed. H -3 housing went forward under blanket authorization granted by most A P U C ’s, up to $10,000 construction cost. With the defeat of Germany in M ay 1945 the tempo of housing activity under the H -2 and H -3 programs was stepped up, and the number of non farm dwelling units started advanced from 27,900 in the first quarter to 55,200 in the second quarter of 1945. These transitional programs also paved the way in the period immediately following Japan’s surrender; third quarter starts were sustained at about the same level (57,400). The lifting of all wartime controls in October resulted in an unprecedented increase in home building, almost all of which was privately financed. Contrary to the usual seasonal slump during the fall and winter months, the total number of nonfarm dwelling units started reached 85,200 in the fourth quarter, an increase of 48 percent over the preceding 3 months. Trends in Private Building Construction Costs The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not compile a comprehensive index of construction costs. It makes a composite index o f average hourly earnings on private building construction and of wholesale construction material prices, which, while incom plete, gives an approximation of changes in con struction costs. The composite index measures only reported changes in labor and material costs and does not reflect construction cost changes resulting from variations in the efficiency of labor and man agement, in competitive markets, in overhead costs, nor does it reflect the payment of black-market prices. Further indications of fluctuations in construction costs (of residential building only) may be obtained from two other series, one showing the average per mit valuation of all types of family dwellings in 257 cities, and the other showing the average “ estimated construction cost” for private single-family dwelling units in nonfarm areas. The permit valuation figure is simply an average of the estimated construction cost data recorded on the building-permit reports received by the Bureau, together with the value of the Federal construction contracts awarded in the 257 cities. For a number of reasons the estimates of con struction costs which are given by builders when applying for building permits generally understate actual costs. The results of a prewar study made by the Bureau indicate that actual costs (i.e., cost of labor, material, and the builder’s overhead and profit chargeable directly to the construction project, but excluding cost of land and site improve ments) averaged 15.5 percent more than the valu 31 TRENDS IN PRIVATE BUILDING COSTS ations entered on permit records. More recent surveys revealed that in the period SeptemberDecember 1945 the understatement of permit valu ations was around 25 percent. Consequently, to obtain the “ average estimated construction cost” series, the valuation figures recorded on the building permit reports for years prior to 1941 were increased by 15.5 percent. From 1941 on the percentage added to the permit valuation was gradually in creased, on practically a straight-line basis, until it reached 25 percent in September 1945. In interpreting both of these series of averages^ it should be noted that they do not represent fluc^ tuations in the cost of building identical units of housing, but show fluctuations only in the estimated construction costs of all those units for which permits were issued. one-third in the volume of private nonresidential building on which higher wage rates generally pre vail. Furthermore, as a result of a 5-percent de crease in material prices in 1938 the composite index was 3 percent lower than in 1937. Increases in both basic wage rates and the relative amount of overtime worked at premium rates, in addition to rising material prices, notably for lumber, resulted in an increase of 24 percent in construction costs between 1938 and 1942. Brisk competition for construction workers from publicly financed ivar construction projects, coupled with the demands from war industries and the military services, caused virtually all private builders to pay wages and overtime penalties equivalent to those required under union agreements. Some measure of the extent to which increased overtime and the Composite Index T able 18.— Average hourly and weekly earnings and weekly hours worked on private building construction, and index numbers, 1 9 8 4 -4 3 Construction costs for privately financed build ings, as measured by the composite index of average hourly earnings and wholesale prices of building materials, rose 40 percent between 1934 and 1943. After remaining on a comparatively even keel during the 3-year period 1934-36, sharp rises in 1937 in both labor and material charges resulted in a 10-percent increase in costs. Although union wage rates, which had gradually increased after 1934, rose 9 percent between 1937 and 1938, average hourly earnings remained virtually unchanged. This was caused primarily by a decline of almost T a b l e 17.— Indexes o f construction costs and expenditures fo r new private building, 1 9 8 4 -4 3 Index numbers (average 1935-39 ==100) Year 1934__ 1935__ 1936__ 1937__ 1938__ 1939__ 1940__ 1941__ 1942__ 1943__ 1944__ 1945__ Average Wholesale Composite Union hourly hourly of earn of wage rates earnings prices building ings and in build on private materials prices1 ing trades building 88.8 89.8 93.1 99.5 108.4 109.1 110.8 114.9 122.0 123.0 123.9 126.5 90.8 93.0 94.1 103.1 103.7 106.4 109.4 115.3 131.1 142.9 150.6 157.4 96.2 95.2 96.8 106.2 100.8 101.0 105.8 115.2 123.0 124.3 128.9 131.5 94.1 94.4 95.8 105.0 101.9 103.1 107.2 115.2 126.1 131.5 137.3 141.5 Expenditures for new private building Total 38.4 53.6 86.8 115.9 107.2 136.6 159.4 200.3 91.9 41.5 41.7 79.3 Resi Nonresi dential dential 26.6 48.9 83.2 101.0 111.2 155.6 173.3 203.5 96.8 47.8 39.4 49.3 59.5 61.8 93.2 142.4 100.0 102.7 134.5 194.5 83.1 30.4 45.8 132.7 1 Based on average hourly earnings in private building construction and wholesale prices of building materials.

The composite index rose 7 percent between 1940 and 1941 and over 9 percent between 1941 and 1942. In both 1943 and 1944, however, the annual rate of increase was down to 4 percent, partly because wage and price controls were put into effect less than a year after the war started. In 1945 the index was only 3 percent higher than in 1944, owing in part to reductions in overtime work and retention of wage and price controls after VJ-day. The wholesale prices of building materials rose far less in World War II than during World War I. Comparable figures show a 92-percent rise in whole sale prices of building materials from July 1914 to 32 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 T a b l e 19.— Average hourly and weekly earnings and weekly hours worked on private building construction, by selected types o f workt ________________________________________________ specified months, 1 9 4 0 -4 5 1 Special building trades All types of building work General building $0,971 .958 .947 .957 .986 .989 1.000 1.023 $0,923 .919 .906 .924 .946 .950 .949 .980 $1,036 1.023 1.006 .998 1.025 1.027 1.048 1.062 $0,968 .954 .948 .943 .955 .983 1.003 1.015 $1,006 1.006 1.018 1.038 1.062 1.041 1.071 1.103 $1,183 1.225 1.180 1.213 1.184 1.188 1.218 1.245 $0,992 .963 1.011 .972 1.012 1.033 1.070 1.059 October.----------------------- 1.090 1.105 1.157 1.198 1.240 1.235 1.231 1.273 1.056 1.047 1.117 1.145 1.185 1.182 1.194 1.238 1.118 1.156 1.191 1.236 1.276 1.273 1.255 1.296 1.061 1.102 1.139 1.174 1.218 1.225 1.212 1.249 1.131 1.163 1.192 1.232 1.277 1.277 1.286 1.318 1.308 1.377 1.400 1.490 1.538 1.524 1.482 1.506 October.................... — 1.295 1.297 1.302 1.343 1.364 1.361 1.387 1.392 1.244 1.239 1.247 1.285 1.310 1.304 1.321 1.327 1.330 1.337 1.343 1.385 1.401 1.401 1.432 1.443 1.292 1.289 1.308 1.348 1.356 1.360 1.383 1.417 1.326 1.326 1.376 1.404 1.398 1.392 1.474 1.477 1.499 1.511 1.503 1.547 1.562 1.565 1.543 1.581 30.8 31.8 33.6 35.4 32.6 34.4 35.4 35.7 30.6 31.8 33.7 36.2 32.7 34.2 34.8 34.7 30.6 31.3 33.2 34.8 32.6 34.6 36.0 36.7 33.2 32.7 34.4 36.9 35.8 35.7 37.5 38.8 29.6 32.9 33.2 33.9 29.7 34.4 35.1 35.9 32.9 32.9 35.6 36.0 36.5 36.8 38.0 39.0 34.2 35.4 37.5 37.9 37.1 38.1 39.0 39.7 33.0 34.6 37.4 36.9 36.5 38.1 38.2 39.0 35.3 36.1 37.7 38.6 38.6 38.0 39.5 40.2 38.2 37.9 39.6 40.4 39.8 39.2 39.9 41.3 32.1 35.4 36.1 36.6 34.2 37.1 38.5 39.7 38.5 38.7 40.6 40.7 38.8 40.0 40.1 38.7 38.2 38.1 40.5 40.3 38.2 39.3 39.0 37.6 38.7 39.0 40.6 41.0 39.2 40.4 40.8 39.6 40.6 39.8 41.5 41.9 41.4 41.0 41.7 41.2 37.0 38.9 39.9 39.4 37.9 40.7 40.8 39.0 Year and month All types Plastering, lathing, Carpen stucco tering work Roofing and sheetmetal Excavat ing, grad ing, foun dation $1,335 1.283 1.285 1.263 1.287 1.183 1.238 1.235 $0,960 .949 .924 .930 .974 .950 .974 .998 $0,880 .901 .878 .853 .910 .946 .938 .940 $1,037 .928 .815 .790 .820 .832 .833 .831 $1,191 1.139 1.126 1.128 1.153 1.155 1.185 1.208 1.110 1.100 1.111 1.131 1.168 1.188 1.250 1.264 1.246 1.301 1.326 1.285 1.349 1.388 1.380 1.362 1037 1.071 1.069 1.102 1.165 1.166 1.186 1.228 1.005 1.027 1.078 1.116 1.156 1.166 1.135 1.189 .876 .890 .955 1.029 1.076 1.048 1.100 1.132 1.245 1.289 1.333 1.340 1.297 1.303 1.291 1.388 1.290 1.361 1.322 1.322 1.357 1.359 1.449 1.403 1.477 1.459 1.469 1.537 1.519 1.494 1.535 1.537 1.269 1.266 1.278 1.326 1.327 1.359 1.390 1.403 1.240 1.278 1.273 1.322 1.342 1.340 1.380 1.356 1.179 1.181 1.175 1.243 1.220 1.229 1.312 1.332 1.392 1.388 1.406 1.410 1.428 1.456 1.470 1.506 24.2 28.3 32.5 32.4 25.3 32.2 32.6 32.4 27.1 28.2 29.2 31.0 27.5 28.9 30.9 30.6 28.7 32.9 34.7 35.3 31.2 35.2 37.4 36.2 28.6 29.9 33.0 34.2 30.3 33.7 35.4 35.7 26.2 28.3 32.7 34.1 29.1 34.2 34.9 34.6 30.3 30.6 31.6 32.6 32.5 34.4 35.4 36.8 39.8 40.5 41.0 42.4 42.7 40.8 40.8 42.5 27.0 30.8 32.5 35.8 31.6 31.5 35.6 37.6 28.4 29.2 30.7 30.3 29.5 31.5 33.1 33.8 34.1 33.8 37.9 37.5 36.5 38.4 40.5 39.8 32.7 34.0 36.5 36.9 34.0 35.4 38.8 39.4 30.7 32.9 36.0 33.9 33.3 33.9 36.6 37.0 35.1 36.7 38.3 40.5 39.4 42.4 43.7 41.8 41.5 41.1 43.0 42.3 42.7 42.5 44.1 40.3 30.2 31.4 36.5 37.1 29.4 37.5 39.4 38.3 31.0 34.0 36.1 37.1 33.7 35.0 35.0 36.5 38.0 39.5 41.0 40.6 38.3 40.2 40.7 40.4 36.8 36.1 39.7 41.0 35.6 39.3 39.1 38.0 33.2 37.0 39.2 38.3 35.7 38.9 39.7 39.6 41.9 42.7 43.8 43.1 40.8 40.9 40.4 40.0 Plumbing, Painting, paper Electrical heating, wiring hanging, air con decorating ditioning Masonry work All other types Average hourly earnings 1040?

Federal appropriations, (2) Public W orks Administration, (3) United States Hous ing Authority, (4) Defense Plant Corporation, (5) War Public W orks (Lanham A ct projects), (6) Rural Electrification Administration (loans). 2 Computed by dividing reported annual pay rolls and number of man-hours worked during the year by 52. This method is used primarily because hours and earnings on Federal construction projects are reported by accounting months, rather than by calendar months. Thus all contractors do not report for uniform pay periods during any given month; some may include data for 4 weeks and others for 5. In addition, averages in a given month are affected substantially by shifts in the geographic distribution of projects under way, especially when the number of projects in a category is small. Consequently, average hours and earnings cannot be computed accurately on a current weekly basis. Most of the bias resulting from both the reporting procedures and the project location, however, is removed when data for the year as a whole are used to obtain averages. * Hourly earnings when multiplied by weekly hours of work may not exactly equal weekly earnings because of rounding. November 1918 against a 31-percent increase be tween August 1939 and August 1945. The effective ness of price control during World War II may be judged from the fact that, although average prices for all building material rose 23 percent from August 1939 to March 1942, the rise in prices from March 1942 to the end of hostilities under operation of the General Maximum Price Regulation12 was only 7 percent. 12 See Monthly Labor Review, March 1944 (p. 640): Market Prices of Building Materials in Two Wars. The General Maximum Price Regulation was issued by the Office of Price Administration on April 28, 1942, and provided that, with certain exceptions, manufacturers’, wholesalers’, and retailers’ prices were to go no higher than the highest price which the respective commodities brought in March 1942. 34 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 T a b l e 21 .— Average union hourly wage rates in selected building trades, 1934~45l Average hourly rate* Trade All tradfts3 All journeymen*________ .....

The Bureau’s sample of union wage-rate quotations for early years was heavily weighted by quotations from larger cities. However, cities added from time to time have been smaller and of different geographic distribution and thus current figures more accurately represent union wage rates for the country as a whole. Consequently, rates for years before 1943 shown in this table are estimates from an index of union wage rates in which year-to-year changes have been measured using quotations from identical local unions for each pair of years. These esti mates for 1934 to 1942 are lower than those based on the Bureau’s changing sample of quotations as published annually in “ Union Wages and Hours in the Building Trades.” 2 Representative of rates effective in midsummer. * Average includes selected trades plus others not shown in this table.

Residential construction costs Conservation Order L-41 was issued in April 1942, restricting home building to $500 (later $200), with exceptions, unless priorities were granted. In addition, priorities were issued only where the sales price of a unit did not exceed $6,000. The effects of this order were to force home construction still more into the lower-cost brackets and to decrease further the “ average cost” figure to $3,762 in the third quarter of 1942. In response to a general rise in prices, the average construction cost of privately financed single-family dwelling units rose gradually from $3,973 in the first quarter of 1940 to $4,303 in the third quarter of 1941 (table 24). N o cost limitation for private war housing prevailed prior to the establishment of the priority system in September 1941, but the limita tion of a sales price of $6,000 or an equivalent shelter rent not to exceed $50 a month was established at that time by the Office of Production Management and the Division of Defense Housing Coordination. Immediately after the initiation of this priority system, the average estimated construction cost figure began to drop slightly— to $4,226 in the final quarter of 1941 and to $4,011 in the first 3 months of 1942. Undoubtedly some homes continued to be built in the higher-cost brackets. There are, however, several explanations for this. Homes built to re place those destroyed by fire, tornado, etc., were exempted from L-41. Evasion of priority regula tions was present to some degree. Instances are known in which less responsible speculative builders sold basic houses at the maximum price permitted, 36 T able CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 23.— Weighted indexes o f wholesale prices o f building materials, 1 9 3 4 -4 $ Index numbers (average 1935-39= 100) Year 1934.... 1935.... 1936.... 1937.... 1938.... 1939.... 1940.... 1941.... 1942.... 1943.... 1944.... 1945....

Neverthe less, after April 1942, the trend in construction costs was generally downward, indicating the increasing effectiveness of administrative control of housing priorities. The low point was reached in the fourth quarter of 1944 when construction cost averaged $3,223. In M ay 1945, construction controls were eased by amendment to L -4 1 ; the limitation of $200 on residential building that could be started without permission of the War Production Board was raised to $1,000 in the case of 1-family houses. In addi tion, more housing was being started in the first part of 1945 under the H -2 and H -3 programs. H -2 housing had a sales limit of $8,000 (compared with $6,000 for H - l housing, which had predomi nated previously), and there was no cost limit under the H -3 program. These events influenced average construction cost estimates, resulting in a 17-percent rise between the first and second quarters of 1945 (from $3,554 to $4,167). Hostilities ended in the third quarter of 1945.

The withdrawal of L-41 in October automatically removed price ceil ings on dwellings which had been built under that order. It also removed price limits for dwellings started thereafter. Home builders were in com petition for the limited supply of labor and material available in the housing market. The estimated 1940 ..... .

Some idea of variations over the years in the cost of erecting residential buildings may be obtained also from table 25. Average permit valuations per new dwelling unit in* 257 cities declined steadily from the 1920,s to the depression year 1933, and recovered somewhat in the late 1930’s. During the 37 TRENDS IN PRIVATE BUILDING COSTS war years, the average valuations of 1-family dwell ings followed the same general movement already described for estimated construction costs. In the case of all types of structures, the average permit valuation figure decreased steadily from 1939 to 1943, when it reached the lowest amount recorded within the 25-year period 1921-45. The average valuations for 1-family dwellings decreased more sharply in 1943 than those for 2-family and multi family dwellings. This was caused largely by the T able 25 .— Estim ated perm it valuation 1 per new fa m ily dwelling unit in 257 cities , by typ e o f structure, 1 9 2 1-4 5 2 Indexes (average 1935-39 =>100) of permit valuations per new dwelling unit in— Permit valuation per new family dwelling unit in— Year All types of structures 1921________________ _________________ 1922_________________________________ 1023 1924.________________________________ 1025 1026 1027 192 9 .______________________________ 1930 1931_________________________________ 1932. _______________________________ 1933_________________________________ 1934._________________________________ 1935_________________________________ 1936._________________________________ 1937_________________________________ 1938._________________________________ 1939_________________________________ 1940._________________________________ 1941_________________________________ 1942_________________________________ 1011 _________________________ 1944.- ______________________________ 1945-------------------------------------------------- 1-family structures 2-family5 structures Multifamily4 structures All types of structures 1-family structures 2-family5 structures Multifamily4 structures $3,947 4,016 4,127 4,361 4,445 4,422 4,449 4,407 $3,972 4,259 4,189 4,342 4,593 4,763 4,830 4,937 $3,762 3,568 4,185 4,350 4,422 4,465 4,368 4,064 $4,019 3,950 4,004 4,395 4,271 4,103 4,170 4,129 103.3 105.1 108.0 114.1 116.3 115.7 116.4 115.3 94.5 101.4 99.7 103.3 109.3 113.4 114.9 117.5 126.7 120.1 140.9 146.5 148.9 150.3 147.1 136.8 117 2 1152 116.8 128.2 124.6 119.7 121 6 120.4 4,565 4,385 4,226 3,705 3,495 3,572 3,779 4,002 4,919 4,994 4,836 3,943 3,845 4,071 4,228 4,355 4,011 3,924 3,607 3,250 3,112 3,338 2,953 3,058 4,400 3,857 3,644 3,010 3,040 2,716 3,245 3,679 119.5 114.8 110.6 97.0 91.5 93.5 98.9 104.7 117.1 118.8 115.1 93.8 91.5 96.9 100.6 103.6 135.1 132.1 121.4 109.4 104.8 112.4 99.4 103.0 128.4 112.5 1063 87 8 88.7 79 2 94 7 107.3 4,009 3,644 3,673 3,564 3,691 3,263 2,819 3,216 4,374 4,352 4,105 3,970 3,890 3,975 3,510 2,878 3,292 4,629 3,110 2,862 2,868 2,760 2,774 2,874 2,778 3,067 3,510 3,641 3,217 3,359 3,075 3,108 2,680 2,589 2,869 3,462 104.9 95.4 96.1 93.3 96.6 85.4 73.8 84.2 114.5 103.6 97.7 94.5 92.6 94.6 83.5 68.5 78.3 110.2 104.7 96.4 96.6 92.9 93.4 96.8 93.5 103.3 118.2 106.2 93.8 98.0 89.7 90.7 78 2 75.5 83.7 101.0 1 Includes value of new family dwelling units in 257 cities for which Federal construction contracts were awarded. 2 This table does not show change in cost of erecting identical buildings, but reflects the change in estimated costs of all buildings to be erected.

By 1945, the average valuation figures for each type of structure, except multifamily, exceeded those for the recovery years 1936-37. Shifts in Location of Construction Activity in Wartime The location as well as the volume of construction activity was sharply altered during the war period. Locality changes consisted chiefly of two general types: (1) shifts from densely to more sparsely populated places, and (2) movements from one section of the country to another. Flow Between Large and Small Places Urban-rural movements Housing trends are an indicator of the urbanrural flow of building activity in the war years. Thousands of new homes were built near military or essential industrial establishments, many of which were of necessity located outside of urban areas. About 39 percent of the new nonfarm houses started in 1941 were located in rural areas, whereas, in 1942 the proportion of rural-nonfarm to all hous ing had increased to 43 percent. By 1943 it had decreased again to 40 percent. The shift from urban to rural in 1942 and from rural to urban in 1943 reflects mainly the effects of the public war housing program. In 1942, several extremely large projects, notably the Vanport City (Oreg.) project contain ing almost 10,000 units, were put under construction contract. The large tracts of vacant land necessary for such projects are seldom available in urban areas. Also, the construction of entire communities to serve isolated war activities contributed to the 38 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 urban-to-rural shift in 1942. Such projects were less prominent in 1943, and it was possible to utilize small vacant tracts in urban areas to a greater extent than in 1942. In 1944, the proportion of all nonfarm housing to be started in rural areas was down to 32 percent, but there was a slight increase to 36 percent in 1945.

One explanation of this growing trend13 is that land prices are more reasonable in outlying areas. The increasing development of well-planned neighborhoods with nearby community centers, together with greater availability of quick trans portation to downtown districts, is making suburban living more and more attractive. Size-of-city shifts Within the urban area also, there were similar movements in building activity between large and small places during the war years. In 1942, 29 percent of the urban building permit valuation figure was reported for cities of 2,500 to 25,000 population;14 cities in the 25,000 to 100,000 popu lation group accounted for 23 percent and those with more than 100,000 population for 48 percent of the total. The proportions in 1944 for the re spective city-size groups were 25,20, and 55 percent. This shift in building activity from small to large cities is explained partly by the fact that a great part of Federal wartime construction, even within city limits, was near army camps, powder plants, or other war establishments necessarily located in sparsely populated sections of the country. Con sequently, the greater proportion of Federal money put into urban building in 1942 influenced the flow of construction in that year away from the larger cities to the smaller places. The reverse was true, of course, in 1944 when most war construction was completed. In 1942 over 60 percent of the dollar volume of urban building was for Federal con struction, compared with 32 percent in 1944. Another cause for shifts between different citysize groups is the varying proportion from one year to another in the types of building construction for which permits are issued. For example, in 1942 only a tenth of urban permit valuations were for additions, alterations, and repair work; whereas, in 1944 this category comprised almost three-tenths of the total. Well over half of all such valuations were, in each year under discussion, reported for cities of 100,000 or more population. Consequently, in a year (like 1944) when the proportion of addi tions, alterations, and repairs is high relative to the 18 Preliminary results of a survey conducted in 1946 in 90 representative areas bear out the conclusion that there is an increasing tendency to build a greater proportion of nonfarm housing in rural than in urban areas. 14 Population figures used for grouping cities based on 1940 Census. 39 volume of new building undertaken, there is a tendency for the largest cities to be responsible for the greater share of permits issued. In 1945, when additions, alterations, and repairs accounted for a fourth of all urban building activity and 53 percent of the work was being done in cities of over 100,000 population, those cities reported 49 percent of the total dollar volume of building per mits granted. Cities with population from 25,000 to 100,000 reported 22 percent, and those in the 2.500 to 25,000 population group, 29 percent of the total. Geographic Shifts Between States Analysis of the amount of new housing put under construction during the period 1940-45, in com parison with the number of homes already standing in 1940 in each State, gives a clear indication of interstate shifts in residential building in the defense and war years. The estimated number of new nonfarm family dwelling units for which permits were issued or con struction contracts were awarded in the years 1940-45 totaled 2,580,000, about 9 percent of the 29,683,000 units standing in April 1940.15 Home building during this 6-year period tended to con centrate along the eastern and western seaboards, the Great Lakes, and in the Southwest. These regions were the leading centers of residential con struction for two important reasons— (1) they accommodated most of the war activities requiring workers from outside areas, and (2) some of them already accounted for a large portion of existing housing, which made replacement demand greater there than in other localities. The concentration is shown in chart 10 on page 41. From map* ‘A ” it is readily apparent that California outranked all other States with respect to the number of new family dwelling units for which permits were issued during 1940-45. California alone was responsible for 419,100 units— 16 percent of the total. Texas followed with 175.500 units, or 7 percent.

However, there was a great concentration of military activities in Florida and Virginia and of ship and aircraft con struction in Washington, which was responsible for a large amount of homebuilding to accommodate in-migrants. The number of new nonfarm dwelling units for which permits were issued in each State during 1940-45 as a proportion of the number of dwellings already standing in April 1940 is shown in map “ B .” This presentation is particularly significant in pointing out areas of in-migrant need, since it neutralizes the factor of replacement demand. For instance, there were more units standing in 1940 in New York than in any other State (3,827,054), and it ranked fourth in the amount of home building during 1940-45; however, the number of dwellings started in that State during the 6-year period was only 4 percent of existing housing, indicating relative stability in wartime population. On the other hand, in Nevada, which had the fewest units standing (31,993), there was propor tionately more housing put under construction than in any other State (29 percent of existing housing). Replacement demand for homes in Nevada was negligible, since there were so few houses in exis tence. This condition, together with the fact that the population o f Nevada increased 45 percent from 1940 to 1945, makes it apparent that most of the new dwellings put under construction during the 6-year period were to take care of families coming into the State from other areas. Reports of Federal contracts awarded in October 1941 for the con struction of a 126-million-dollar basic magnesium plant near Las Vegas, which first required numerous construction workers and later many operational employees, further substantiates this conclusion. As would be expected from the foregoing discus sion of nonfarm housing, California was also the leading State in the dollar volume of building per mits issued during the war years 1942-45. Over 17 percent, or 1.2 billion of the 7 billion dollar per mit valuation figure for all urban areas, was re ported for California alone. Michigan and Illinois (each accounting for around 7 percent of the total) ranked second and third, respectively, with 507 million and 468 million dollars. N ot only did California lead in the amount of total permit valuations, but it was in first place with respect to all classes of building construction: New residential building 522 million dollars (21 per cent of the 2.5 billion dollars estimated for new residential building in all urban areas); new nonresidential building, 513 million dollars (16 percent of the 3.2-billion-dollar total); and additions, al terations, and repairs, 173 million dollars (13 per cent of 1.3-billion-dollar total). Michigan, with 225 million dollars (9 percent of all urban) was second in the new residential building category. Second place for new nonresidential building went to Pennsylvania (250 million dollars, 8 percent of total), and for additions, alterations, and repairs to New York (123 million dollars, 9 percent of all urban). From Region to Region The impact of war upon construction activity in different sections of the country is reflected in the altered distribution of new nonfarm housing from 48 CONSTRUCTION IN W AR YEARS 1942-45 T a b l e 31.— Estim ated num ber o f new fa m ily dw elling u n its and valuation o f building construction fo r which p erm its w ere issu ed in urban a reas,1 b y State and b y class o f construction, 1 9 4 2 —4 5 Valuation (in thousands) oi new iamny dwelling units iN um D er State and year Total All urban areas (U.

Thousands of workers, many of them from farms, migrated to the leading Pacific Coast cities to work in airplane factories, shipyards, and other war industries. From 1940 to 1945, the population of the Pacific States increased 25 percent, or 2.4 million. Further more, increased, employment of the native popu lation enabled more people to afford their own homes or apartments. In 1945, the employment rise after the end of the war in the nonmanufacturing industries— primarily the services and trades— almost offset the sub stantial declines in shipbuilding, airframe, and other manufacturing employment on the Pacific Coast following VJ-day. In addition, the housing needs of returning veterans and their families who had been living doubled up more than compensated for any out-migrants who may have left as the war industries shut down. Although the substantial number of 68,200 units, or 28 percent of all nonfarm houses, were to be started in the Pacific States in 1945 (almost four-fifths of them in California alone), the housing shortage remained acute throughout that region. Only the Western and the Southern States, where most of the military installations were located, showed population increases between 1940 and 1945. The northern part of the country in particu lar experienced declines, as inductions depleted the civilian population and war workers migrated to new war centers.

Reflecting increases in population, the South Atlantic States ranked next to the Pacific in the total number of new dwelling units for which per mits were issued or contracts awarded in 1945 (43,500). The East North Central States were third with 41,600 units. Housing shortages in those areas had been accumulating throughout the war years for various reasons and remained critical at the end of 1945. In Chicago, for instance, housing shortages were caused by enlargement of the packing and chemical industries, as well as ord nance, the transfer of Federal agencies from Wash ington, and the expansion of war agencies already in the city. In Detroit, the shortage resulted partly from expansion of the aircraft engine indus try. Ohio, the rubber center of the world, with its 2 Less than a tenth of 1 percent. wartime production of steel, machinery, chemical products, and aircraft, also experienced a housing shortage which was still unrelieved as the war ended. The smallest proportion of new nonfarm homes in 1945, on the other hand, were to be started in New England— 5,500 units, or 2 percent of the national total. This compares with 30,400 units (5 percent of total) in 1940. In that year the Mountain States ranked lowest, with 21,600 new dwellings. Part of the decline in the amount of new housing to be built in New England was owing to a 2-percent decrease in population from 1940 to 1945. Although there was little migration into New England compared with most other regions, mainly because of less new industry, the housing shortage remained acute in 1945 as veterans returned in increasing numbers and principal industrial centers began to convert to peacetime production. 55 WARTIME SHIFTS IN CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY T able 36.— E stim ated valuation o f new nonresidential buildings fo r which perm its w ere issu ed in all urban areas, b y general typ e o f building, b y geographic d ivision , and b y source o f fu n d s, 1 9 4 2 -4 & 1 Valuation Geographic division Total 1945 * 1944 Non-Federal 1943 1945 Federal 1944 1943 1944 1945 1943 Industrial buildings2 All divisions______________________ $258,097,714 $159,705,866 $258,182,356 Percent change from preceding year.___ +61.6 -38.1 New England_____________________ Middle Atlantic___________________ East North Central._______________ West North Central_______________ South Atlantic-----------------------------East South Central________________ West South Central._______________ Mountain-----------------------------------Pacific___________________________ 15,812,678 51,651,372 99,527,470 17,306,285 14,651,416 9,454,240 15,947,890 2,232,995 31,513,368 6,197,039 34,437,766 47,011,309 14,797,492 7,178,679 5,185,352 11,242,921 1,241,233 32,414,075 7,336,740 43,793,033 108,783,557 12,887,194 7,856,070 5,223,613 27,689,610 587,844 44,024,695 $210,577,020 +209.8 $67,966,536 +47.8 $45,970,102 $47,520,694 -48.2 $91,739,330 -56.8 $212,212,254 13.475.678 40.061.679 88,836,344 14,090,285 12,502,416 6,564,640 6,940,718 2,200,995 25,904,265 3,260,239 9,761,975 22,291,643 6,806,047 2,809,754 2,225,468 3.690,774 773,708 16,346,928 2,346,785 9,442,290 9,336,376 1,888,194 1,690,152 937,683 789,286 475,689 19,063,647 2.337.000 11,589,693 10,691,126 3.216.000 2.149.000 2,889,600 9,007,172 32,000 5,609,103 2,936,800 24,675,791 24,719,666 7,991,445 4,368,925 2,959,884 7,552,147 467,525 16,067,147 4,989,955 34,350,743 99,447,181 10,999,000 6,165,918 4,285,930 26,900,324 112,155 24,961,048 18,005,345 -
