Women Employees in Manufacturing
Herman Travis
W h i l e it is true that w o m e n w o r k
ers have in recent times been absorbed
mainly in industries other than manu
facturing, especially the rapidly e x
panding trade and service industries
which have traditionally employed
large numbers of them, the data on
women in manufacturing add significant
detail to an important segment of fe
male employment.
manufacturing industries.
The apparel
industry, w i t h 937>000 w o m e n workers
in 19 57, was the largest employer of
w o m e n in manufacturing.
Other, i n d u s
tries employing 200,000 or more women
workers in 1957 were textiles, food
processing, machinery, printing and
publishing, transportation equipment,
and fabricated metals.
No manufactur
ing industry except apparel employed
as m a n y as o n e-half m i l l i o n w o m e n
Over 4 million women, or about
one-fifth of all women in the labor
fo r c e (see t a b l e 1), w e r e e m p l o y e d i n
factories d u ring 1957»
During the
peri o d 1950“ 7 , the number of w o m e n in
5
manufacturing has varied from a low of
workers
3 . 9 m i l l i o n in 1950 to a h i g h of 4.6
million in 1953» but the proportion of
women to all employees in manufactur
ing has remained virtually unchanged
at 26 percent. 1/
A comparatively
minor deviation in this proportion
o c c u r r e d in 1953 w h e n the rat i o was
closer to 27 percent.
This slightly
greater proportion took place in a
period w h e n m a n y men of working age
were under arms and when production
wa s geared to the high demands b o t h of
the Korean hostilities and of an e x
panding civilian economy.
Except for
this relatively small increase under
unusual conditions, the concentration
of women in manufacturing was substan
tially stable under such different
conditions as in 19 50, w h e n levels of
factory employment were relatively
depressed, a n d in 1955 and 19 56 , w h e n
factory employment was relatively
high.
try, 3 out of 4 e mployees in 19 57 were
women.
Other industries reporting a
heavy concentration of w o m e n employees
T h e c o n c e n t r a t i o n as w e l l as the
numbers of women vary widely among the
different manufacturing industries.

(39 percent), and electrical machinery
(39 percent).
I n petroleum refineries and in
the lumber a n d primary metals indus

women— mainly office workers.

De

women in manufacturing industries have
been collected by the Bureau of Labor

The relatively large and rapid
expansion required of the ordnance in
dustry, during a p e r i o d of relatively
full em ploy ment amo ng adu lt men, was
instrumental in making this industry
more reliant on w o m a n p o w e r to fill its
personnel needs.
Moreover, the adept
ness which women had demonstrated at
many types of ordnance wor k in two
world wars undoubtedly recommended
them for employment in this industry.

Another industry in w h i c h the
number and proportion of women in
creased significantly was electrical
machinery, where the armaments b o o m in
communications equipment required

However, the number

The pro
portion of women in nondurable-goods

erably higher than in durable goods
(18 percent).
These proportions have changed
little since 1950.
There have beeh a
few exceptions which take on signifi
cance when considered wi t h the general
lack of change in the concentration of
women in most manufacturing industries.
Transportation equipment was the
only other manufacturing area in which
the number of women employees rose
sufficiently during the Korean con
flict to change significantly the
relative balance between female and
total employment.
Employment of women
One of these exceptions has b e e n
the ordnance industry, where overall
expansion— and expansion in employment
of women— was extremely rapid during
the Korean hostilities.
This industry
employed only 5,100 w o m e n in 1950,
comprising 17 percent of the indus
try's total employment.
B y 1953, the
number of women employees had risen to
63,000 and their proportion to 27 per
in this industry more than doubled
under requirements of expanded air
craft and military vehicle production,
with the number of women workers ris
ing from 121,000, representing 10 p e r
cent of the industry's total in 1950,
