One measure of electrical machinery output,
the Federal Reserve Board Index, shows that
total production more than doubled between
1947 and 1957.
Employment growth over the
same period was only about 33 percent (chart
1).
An important factor in this differential
rate of growth is the large amount of auto­
matic machinery placed in operation in elec­
trical machinery plants in the post-World War
II decade.

The

extent

of

the

i nd ustrial

group's mechanization in the postwar period
and the relative newness of its capital equip­
ment is shown by a survey which indicated that
about two-thirds of the group's capacity in
1958 represented equipment installed since
the end of World War II. Only chemicals among
all manufacturing groups exceeded this growth

The large production increase registered
between

1947 and 1957 represents growth in

demand for many kinds of electrical and elec­
tronic products.
Demand has grown most rap­
idly for electronic equipment which goes into
aircraft, missiles, and spacecraft.
A large
rise in demand for consumer electronic prod­
ucts such as television and high fidelity sets
has also occurred over the past 10 years.
Expanding use of electric power in the
United States and the resultant doubling of
electric power output over the past 10 years
have brought large orders for electrical gen­
erating and distr ib ut io n

equipment to the

industry.
There has also been an increasing
demand for other products, such as telephone
equipment, electrical measuring and testing
apparatus, and industrial control equipment.

The number o f nonproduction workers has
incr eased more sharply than production workers
in e l e c t r i c a l machinery manufacturing.
Be­

inc reas ed by 72 percent and production workers
by only 21 p e r c e n t ( c h a r t 2 ) .

D i f f e r e n t i a l r a t e s o f employment growth

By f a r , the l a r g e s t growth has o c c u r r e d in
the communication equipment ( e l e c t r o n i c ) i n ­

The number of employees rose from an
average of 106,000 in 1939 to 336,000 in 1947

and to 5 8 0 , 0 0 0 in 1957.
During the r e c e n t
busi ness downturn, employment in t hi s indus­
try did not d e c l i n e s i g n i f i c a n t l y .
Employ­
ment averaged 5 50 ,0 00 during 1958, l e s s than

in 1957.
The o t h e r l a r g e segment in t h i s

Nonfarm employment rose by one-half million over
the month--substantially more than usual--to reach 50*8
million in mid-March. The rise reflected an improved
job situation in durable goods manufacturing and in
contract construction.

The average workweek of factory workers, up
slightly to lj-0.1 hours in March 1959 vs-s back to its
prerecession level of 2 years ago.
Weekly earnings of
factory workers rose by 62 cents to an alltime high of
$88.62 and hourly earnings reached a new record of
$2 . 21.
Factory Jobs Up by 150,000
Employment in manufacturing rose by 150,000 to
15.9 million.
The increase was significantly better
than is usual for the February-March period and re­
flected continued sharp recovery in steel mills and
further increases in the machinery industries, mainly
in plants producing capital goods but also in plants
producing consumer goods.
Job increases were also
fairly widespread in the fabricated metals industry,
and were in part connected with expanded automobile
production. Job gains in the stone-clay-glass industry
were only in part related to the return of striking
glass workers.

There were also better-than-seasonal job gains in
the nondurable goods manufacturing sector, but these
were small and distributed through a number of
industries.

Construction Employment Rises

Employment in contract construction rose by
170,000, making up the losses of the past several
months. In retail trade the rise of 70,000 was about
normal for the pre-Easter period. Employment changes
in other nonmanufacturing industries were about sea­
sonal, but employment continued at low levels in both
the transportation and mining industries.
Factory Hours Continue High; Earnings Up
The workweek in manufacturing edged up by 0.1
hours to Jj-0.1 in March 1959> up 1.5 hours from a year
ago to the prerecession level of 2 years ago.
Average
overtime hours were unchanged over the month at 2 . k
hours, but were higher by 50 percent than a year ago.
Hourly earnings moved up 1 cent over the month to
a new record of $2.21.
This was 10 cents higher than
a year ago, and more than a dollar higher than in 19^7 *
With the over-the-month increases in the length of
the workweek and in hourly earnings, the weekly earn­
ings of factory production workers rose by 62 cents to
an alltime high of $88.62. This was more than $7 higher
than a year ago; increases in the workweek and in
hourly earnings contributed about equally to the rise.
Earnings in March averaged more than $100 per week
in 7 major manufacturing industry groups, employing
over one-third of all factory workers. In March 1958
only petroleum products (accounting for l-l/2 percent
of total factory employment), averaged over $100 per
week.

2J Derived by assuming that the overtime hours shown in table C- 2 are paid at the rate of time and one-half.

2J Average hourly earnings, excluding overtime, are not available separately for the printing, publishing, and
allied industries group, as graduated overtime rates are found to an extent likely to make average overtime pay
significantly above time and one-half.
Inclusion of data for the group in the nondurable-goods total has little
effect.
