M e n d e l s s o h n This is the third in a series of articles which explore the shifting re lationship of employment among nonfarm industries. For the general background, see America's Changing Job Sources (in Employment and Earnings, November 1957). A detailed analysis of relative employment trends in manufacturing appeared in The Declining Share of Nonfarm Jobs in Factories, 1946-57 (in Employment and Earnings, September 1958). Reprints of the earlier articles are available on request. America's economic growth from 1946 through 1957 added more than 10 million nonfarm wage and salaried jobs to* the 40 million at the end of World War II— -an increase of more than 25 percent. However, not all industries shared p r o p o r t i o n a t e l y in this increase, since a relatively larger share accrued to 5 of 7 non manufacturing industries— construction; trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; service; and government. On the other hand, in 2 non manufacturing industries — mining, and trans portation and public util ities — job shares declined (chart 1). The post-World War II patterns of relative employment change in nonmanufacturing indus tries are mainly extensions of trends which were established at least as early as the end of World War I, but which were interrupted by the depression of the 1930’ s and World War II. The increase of nonproduction workers, in relation to total factory e m p loyment found throughout manufacturing industries, is also clearly evident in the nonmanufacturing in dustries for which data are published in E m ployment and Earnings (table 1). Figures for n o n p r o d u c t i o n w o r k e r s a v a i l a b l e o n l y for public utilities (other than transportation and communication), contract construction, and similar workers in wholesale and retail trade, show that the shares of job opportuni ties for these w o r k e r s h a v e a d v a n c e d more swiftly than total industry employment, while nonproduction workers in the mining division are declining less rapidly than total indus try employment. M in i n g Among broadly classified nonagricultural industries, only mining has recorded a de clining employment level during the post-World II period in addition to a shrinking share of n o n f a r m employment. The p a t t e r n for the mining industry, however, is a composite of widely disparate movements among several of the industry's component groups (chart 2). On the one hand, the two coal mining indus tries — b ituminous and a n t h r a c i t e — removed large numbers of miners from payrolls during the period; in contrast, the additions to the work force in the crude-petroleum and naturalgas production industry were so sizable that a substantial expansion in nonfarm job shares resulted. Indeed, the c r u d e -petroleum and nâtural-gas production industry became the p r e d o m i n a n t job source in mining, when in 1954 it surpassed the combined coal industries in number of workers. In 1947, the p r o d u c tion of coal e m p l o y e d s l i g h t l y m o r e than 500.000 workers on the average compared with 2 3 7 . 0 0 0 in crude p e t r o l e u m ; by 1957, the standings were substantially reversed — 326,000 w orkers in crude petroleum, c o m p a r e d with 258.000 in coal (table 2). And, while the share of nonfarm employment in coal shrank by half, from over 1.0 percent to about 0.5 per cent over the same period, the share of such employment in petroleum expanded from slightly less than 0.6 percent to a little more than that figure. The severe contraction of the coal mining work force reflects primarily the effect of iii 0.2 to 0.05 percent of nonfarm workers, con trasted with a reduction from 1.0 to 0.4 pe r cent in bituminous mining. The contrast in employment decline is also reflected in pro duction figures — anthracite tonnage declined by more than half over the 1947-57 period, while bituminous production declined by about one-quarter. Metal mining, and nonmetallic mining and quarrying— two other components of the mining industry — showed increases in average annual employment during the postwar period but not sufficient to prevent moderate declines in shares of nonfarm employment. Within metal mining, however, diverse patterns of employ ment appeared. Lead and zinc mining is almost entirely underground, while both iron and c o p p e r are n o w i n c r e a s i n g l y d u g from open pits, requiring less labor per ton produced. Nevertheless, because of expanding imports and the increasing cost of mining relatively low-grade ores, the lead and zinc mining work force was reduced in number from 22,900 in 1947 to 16,700 in 1957— a 27-percent cut, re sulting in an even sha r p e r c o n t r a c t i o n of about 40 percent in share of nonfarm employ ment. Iron and copper mining, on the other hand, both showed rising employment, with no significant change in shares of nonfarm em ployment over the period. Chart2- two p o w e r f u l e c o n o m i c p r e s s u r e s . First, sharply reduced manpower requirements resulted from s p e c t a c u l a r a d v ances in m a c h i n e s for digging and handling coal (strip mining, and the c o n t i n u o u s m i n i n g m a c h i n e which works underground, simultaneously cutting the face of the seam and loading the loosened coal). Second, great segm e n t s of the m a r k e t were lost to competing fuels (e.g., many homes are now h e a t e d b y o i l or gas and the use of diesel oil locomotives has grown very rapidly). PercentofNonfarm Employment Of the 2 traditional fuels, anthracite has sustained the sharper loss in employment, declining from nearly 80,000 workers in 1947 to sli g h t l y m o r e than 2 8 , 0 0 0 in 1957. In terms of employment share, anthracite mining contracted by about four-fifths, from nearly iv Table 1.

The pattern of nonproduction-worker em ployment in relation to total jobs in mining parallels that found in manufacturing. For all the mining components on record, the pro portion of nonproduction workers increased. Numbers of such workers also rose in all ex cept coal mining (table 2). Indeed, the ex panded work force in metal mining was attrib utable almost entirely to the industrywide increase in nonproduction workers. Despite the very sharp reduction in production workers in lead and zinc mining, the number of n o n production workers advanced slightly. Even in bituminous and anthracite coal mining, the drop in number of nonproduction workers was comparatively m o d e r a t e — from 23,500 in 1947 to 21,600 in 1957. T r a n s p o r t a t io n , P u b lic C o m m u n ic a t io n , and jobs in this indu s t r y d i v i s i o n is m a i n l y attributable to transportation, largest of the industry division's three parts (chart 3). R a i l r o a d and bus t r a n s p o r t industries cut their work force as traffic shifted to trucks, private autos, and airlines, and as mechanized traffic control, classification yards, and power machinery used in track repair reduced labor requirements. Interstate railroads, for example, cut 434,000 workers from p a y rolls, dropping from nearly 1.6 million in 1947 to about 1.1 million workers in 1957, while employment in bus transportation (other than local) fell fr o m 6 3 , 0 0 0 to 43,000. Markedly contrasting trends occurred in air transportation (a part of the "Other trans portation and service industry") and trucking and warehousing. The work force in both of these industry groups rose faster than the rise in all nonfarm jobs. Indeed, partly be cause of a tripling of passengers carried by scheduled airlines during the 11-year period (50 million in 1957), the air transportation industry increased its relative share of non farm jobs by almost one half, advancing from 81,700 jobs in 1947 to 144,600 in 1957.

Percent ofNonfarm Employment As in the case of the m a n u f a c t u r i n g , mining, and public utilities segments of the economy, supervisory and related trade workers (comparable to n o n p r o d u c t i o n workers) in creased more rapidly in relation to total trade employment than the number of nonsupervisory (production) workers (table 4). And, although the proportions of supervisory workers are generally lower in trade industries than all others, the rate of increase was roughly comparable to expanding proportions of n o n production workers in other industries for which data are available.

The great spread of population to the suburbs with their nuclei of shopping centers and competing specialty shops, (especially furniture and appliance stores and miscellaneous stores, such as g arden supply, jewelry, s p o r t i n g goods, and leather goods), partly accounted for the relative employment decline in general merchandise. Additionally, however, a d o p t i o n of m e c h a n i c a l h a n d l i n g devices, a u tomatic billing and inventory devices, and, recently, more self service c o n t r i b u t e d to l i m i t i n g manpower needs in general merchandise stores.

The evidence at hand indicates that the major wholesaling indus tries such as automotive; electrical goods, machinery, and hardware; and other full-serv ice and 1 imited-function wholesalers (with the exception of wholesalers of groceries, food specialties, beer, wines, and liquors) have participated in the industrywide expan sion of job shares (chart 6).

PercentofNonfarmEmployment is available, Census data reveal that health services rose by about 70 percent from 1947 to 1955, and that engineering and professional services, a small field, nearly doubled in employment from 1947 to 1955. The increased use of research laboratories and consulting organizations was also a factor in the growth of the service industry. Prom the data at hand, it is clear that not all portions of the service industry in creased in share of nonfarm employment to the extent shown by the d i v i s i o n as a whole. Indeed, all 4 of the component categories for which BLS data are available show declining shares of nonfarm employment (chart 7), while 2 recorded falling levels of actual employ ment in part at least as a consequence of BUREAUOF LABORSTATISTICS The relatively sharper growth of super visory workers stems partly from the develop ment of staff functions. For example, some tr a d e b u s i n e s s e s in r e c e n t y e a r s have de veloped facilities for market research, sales analysis, and studies of buyer psychology to aid in location and design of stores, pricing techniques, product display, etc. Service and Miscellaneous Industries The major industry division known as serv ice and m i s c e l l a n e o u s indus t r i e s includes such diverse activities as hotels; laundries; e s t a b l i s h m e n t s r e n d e r i n g medical, legal, engineering, and other professional services; amusement enterprises, such as bowling alleys and theaters; auto repairing, and garaging, etc. The postwar expansion of job opportuni ties in the service industry division acquired impetus from rising per capita income and ex penditures and from the growth and changing composition of the popula t i o n — particularly the e x p a n d i n g p r o p o r t i o n of y o u n g and old people, whose special needs increase demands for medical, hospital, educational, and busi ness services. While little BLS information Construction UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR BUREAUOF LABORSTATISTICS competing products. One of the latter — motion pictures— sustained a sharp drop in employment under the competing pressure from television and other curr e n t leisure-time activities. In 1947, motion picture production, distri bution, exhibition, and related services re quired 252,000 workers; by 1957, employment had fa l l e n to 2 0 4 , 0 0 0 — a drop of about 20 percent. The second industry using less man power in 1957 than in 1947 — laundries— cut workers from payrolls partly as a consequence of more e f f i c i e n t p r o c e s s i n g and h a n d l i n g methods and partly because of the growing use of automat ic home washing and drying machinery. The reduction in work force in laundries, al though substantial, was not as severe as that in motion pictures— an average 326,000 workers in 1957 represented a loss of 40,000 jobs in the period studied. Employment in cleaning and dyeing, a related industry, did not change significantly in the postwar years; the share of jobs in the industry therefore dropped, with a dvanced equipment and a reduction of per capita use of cleaning and dyeing facili ties contributing to the decline. Employment in hotels and lodging places advanced at only a m o d e r a t e pace, less than for the total Chart9. x ii nonfarm economy. The c o n s e q u e n t c o n t r a c tion in share of jobs, however, was restricted to the i m m e d i a t e p o s t w a r y e a r s , e n d i n g a f t e r 1950, p e r h a p s c o i n c i d e n t with the burst of m o t e l c o n s t r u c t i o n which may in large measure have supplanted hotel construc tion. C o n tra ct C o n s t r u c t io n Most segments of the contract construction division have participated in the industry wide expansion in share of nonfarm employment (chart 8). The one exception— general build ing c o n t r a c t o r s — followed the industrywide pattern through 1951, when the proportion of nonfarm jobs among general contractors c o n structing buildings reached a peak of 2 p e r cent of all nonfarm jobs. Subsequently, the share of this segment of the construction in dustry drifted downward and in 1957 reached a postwar low, despite an increase in the work force over the period. An expanding proportion of nonconstruction workers in relation to the total construction work force is observable throughout most seg ments of the construction industry (table 5). The change is not as sharp, however, as the i n c r eases for com p a r a b l e wor k e r s n o t e d in other industries for which data are available. The notable exception occurred in "other non building construction"— where nonconstruction jobs rose less rapidly than the constructionworker force. This is one of the very few instances shown by BLS data on the nonfarm economy. Contractors in this segment of the industry are engaged primarily in the c o n struction of heavy projects, i.e., sewers and water mains, railroads, piers, abutments, tunnels, bridges, flood control projects; mi n i n g appurtenances, such as tipples, and l o a d i n g and d i s c h a r g i n g stations; ovens, furnaces, kilns and similar industrial appur tenances of industrial plants which are con s t r u c t e d at the site. A l s o i n c l u d e d are marine construction projects and miscellaneous projects, such as fences, radio towers, swim ming pools, airports, etc. Table 5.

Settlement of some of the strikes in the auto mobile and related durable-goods industries, together with a seasonal expansion in trade, brought nonfarm employment to 51.3 million— an increase of 200,000 over the month. Factory Workweek Rises to 39»9 Hours Average weekly hours in manufacturing rose by 0.2 hours over the month to 39*9 in November. This betterthan-seasonal rise was due to the resumption of fullwee k work at plants which had been on strike during part of the October survey week, and to a sharp in crease in overtime in the automobile Industry. The factory workweek rose from an average of 39*7 hours in October to 39*9 in November. Increases in hours of work coupled with Increases in hourly earn ings boosted weekly earnings of factory workers by $ 1.62 to a record high of $86.58 . Factory Earnings Rise Sharply Earnings of factory production workers rose 3 cents to $2.17 per hour in November. Employment gains in Industries with above-average earnings, together with a sharp rise in overtime in auto plants, and wage rate Increases in a number of industries, were the prin cipal factors in the rise in average hourly earnings. Factory Jobs Rise as Strikers Return Employment in manufacturing, which normally drops somewhat in November, rose by 155*000 over the month to 15.7 million. The unusually large rise for that month followed the ending of a number of work stop pages in the automobile and in the metals and machin ery industries. However, strikes continued to affect employment in the agricultural machinery and glass in dustries. Employment changes in most other manufac turing industries were mainly seasonal. This rise in hourly earnings, together with the lengthening of the workweek, boosted gross weekly earn ings by $1.62 to a new high of $86.58. Weekly earnings were higher than a year ago in every manufacturing in dustry group and $3.66 higher than a year ago for manu facturing as a whole. Employment Down 1 Million Over Year Compared with November 1957# nonagricultural em ployment was down by 1 million and was l.k million under November 1956. Factory employment this November was about 850,000 lower than in November 1957* and about 1.5 million lower than in November 1956. Trade Rise and Construction Drop are Seasonal Employment changes in nonmanufacturing industries were also almost entirely seasonal.
