The em ploym ent decline reflected mainly norm seasonal reductions in al retail trade and Post Office em ployment, but also greater-than-usual cutbacks in manufacturing and con tract construction. C pared with a year ago, manufacturing employ om m w d n by 1.1 million employees, with about 80 ent as ow percent of this loss occurring in the durable-goods sector. Since January 1957, em ploym ent has declined by about 100,000 in autos and the sam am e ount in air craft. Drops of about 180,000 each occurred in the machinery industry and in primary metals. In the nondurable-goods sector, the largest decline over the year w a drop of 80,000 in textile-mill products. as The factory w orkw eek also continued to decline m than seasonally, and at 3^*7 hours w 1.5 hours ore as lower than a year ago. As a result of the shorter w orkw eek, average weekly earnings of factory workers dropped by $l.Vf over the m onth to $81.27 per w eek. Factory W orkw eek at 38«7 H ours in January Although there is normally a seasonal contraction in the w orkw eek in January, the decline of 0.7 hours over the m onth to 38.7 hours in January w som hat as ew greater than usual. The sharpest reductions w ere re ported by producers of electrical machinery, autom o biles, and textile-mill products. Nonmanufacturing Em ploym ent In retail trade, the em ploym ent decline of 800,000 w less than usual for this time of year. as The decline in contract construction, however, w as som hat larger than usual again this m ew onth, and there w ere som further declines in railroad em e ploym ent. G overnm ent em ploym ent dropped as temporary Post Office employees w ere released after the Christmas mail rush. Em ploym ent in the nonmanufacturing sector as a w hole w m as ore than 300,000 above the level of a year ago. After a year of almost continuous downtrend, the w orkw eek in January 195$ vas 1.5 hours lower than a year ago. The sharpest declines over the year occurred in primary metals (dow 3*2 hours), trans n portation equipm ent (2.6 hours), and machinery (2 hours). Other industries which reported sharp reduc tions in hours over the year w ere electrical machinery, rubber, textiles, and fabricated metals. Durable G oods E ploym m ent Drops Sharply Overtim hours in manufacturing dropped from an e average of 2 hours in Decem ber to 1.7 hours in January, a decline of 0.9 hours since January 1957« The num ber of workers on factory payrolls fell by 1*50,000 over the m onth to 15-9 million in January—a decline substantially m ore than seasonal. This con tinues a dow ntrend which began a year ago. The bulk of the decline occurred in durable goods industries. Em ploym ent in steel mills and in automobile plants dropped sharply. Further small reductions occurred in aircraft plants. Factory Earnings $81.27 Per W eek As a result of the reduction in hours of work, weekly earnings of factory production workers dropped by $1.^7 over the m onth to $81.27 in January. Aver age hourly earnings remained steady at $2.10. A large em ploym ent decline in metal fabricating plants w in part connected with the cutback in auto as production. Sharp drops w ere also reported in the machinery and electrical machinery industries and in the stone, clay, and glass industry group. C pared with a year ago, weekly earnings w om ere d n by $l.lU per w ow eek while hourly earnings w ere u p 5 cents. The sharpest declines in weekly earnings from year ago levels occurred in primary metals (dow n $5.26 per week), transportation equipm ent ($2.60), and textiles ($2.10). However, several industries,showed substantial increases in weekly earnings over the year both as a result of large gains in hourly earnings and smaller-than-average reductions in the w orkw eek. A on these w m g ere chemicals, food, ordnance, petroleum, printing, and tobacco. In the nondurable-goods sector, textile-mill em ployment dropped considerably m ore than seasonally. A decline of almost 60,000 employees in the food proc essing industry and smaller em ploym ent declines in other nondurable-goods industries w ere primarily seasonal. viii HISTO RICAL EM PLO YM EN T D A T A i Table A-l: Employees in nonagricultural establishments by industry division (In t h o u s a n d s ) TOTAL Mining I9I9 .
