EMPLOYMENT and EARNINGS M A R C H 1959 CONVERSION OF STATE AND AREA DATA TO 1957 SIC... State and area employment, hours, and earnings data published in this issue are classified according to the 1957 Standard Industrial Classification Manual. See Announcement on page iii. WHY HOURS OF WORK ARE A LEADING INDICATOR... When business cycle turns are impend ing, the trend of the average factory workweek will change direction months before the employment trend reverses. The article beginning on page v, con tributed by Dr. Gerhard Bry of the National Bureau of Economic Research, discusses the reasons why hours lead. NEW-HIRE RATES... Effective with publication of turnover rates for January 1959 (this issue for national series and next month for States and areas), new-hire rates will be included in all MBff tables. New hires relate to temporary or permanent additions to the employment roll of individuals who have never before been employed in the establishment or for mer employees not recalled by the em ployer. Historical national series are available from January 1951* NEW AREA SERIES... Employment data for metropolitan areas in Ohio (table A-12), formerly limited to manufacturing, now include all nonagricultural industry divisions for the areas of Akron, Canton, Cincin nati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, To ledo, and Youngstown.

Plant III shows some relatable turns but also reveals a good deal of independence between hours and em ployment fluctuations. It illustrates the most frequent conditions in our sample: A fair degree of independence between hours and employment, some clearly matched turns, and the typical lead of hours over employment wherever the turns can be matched. Plant IV, finally, is characterized by an almost total absence of related movements. Of these, 62 showed leads, 6 lags, and 6 coincidences. The prevalence of leads is similarly strong at peaks and at troughs, as shown in the following table. The relationship between average hours and employment was not equally close in all plants. Some typical situations are illus trated on the accompanying chart which con tains simplified versions of weekly hours and employment variations in four plants in the sample. Plant I illustrates cases where even brief intracyclical variations of hours and employment are closely related, with regular leads of hours over employment.

Dots identify peaks UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR bureau of labor statistics , , — .x. . and troughs of specific cycles. vii Why Do Hours Lead? Among the factors chiefly responsible for the lead of cyclical turns in average weekly hours over employment may be the following: (a) Scheduled hours can be more quickly and conveniently adjusted than employment volume; (b) changes in the length of the workweek do not commit a company to a course of expansion or contraction of employment; (c) at business cycle peaks, reduction of overtime if much has been scheduled, leads to substantial cost saving through the avoidance of premium wage payments; (d) reduction of overtime may also enhance productivity, since overtime hours tend to be less productive and liberal use of overtime may encourage "drag-out” of work; (e) at troughs, fuller employment of that part of the regular work force which had been on involuntary part time provides cost advan tages, as compared with hiring and training new help; (f) maintenance of a "stable" work force is preferable from the viewpoint of em ployee morale; and finally (g) work-sharing in times of receding demand and the converse sharing of increasing work opportunities is regarded, in many industries, as good public policy and is frequently made part of union agreements. As plausible as these reasons may appear, they leave some basic questions unanswered. Why should employment continue to rise, near peaks, after hours have been reduced? An analysis of labor turnover rates likewise re veals that after hours have started to drop, near peaks, the hiring rate exceeds the vol untary quit rate for a while, thus bringing continued advances in employment. These re lationships are observable on the plant as well as the industry level. But why should management, once it decides to reduce labor input, be unable to reduce hiring just enough to compensate for voluntary quits? In order to answer these questions, interviews with 15 industrial relations managers were scheduled in plants other than those for which data had been obtained from the BLS. The following paragraphs summarize the conclusions reached from these interviews. Briefly, the continuation of existing employment trends, after weekly hours have changed direction, appears to be a result of the momentum of prevailing employment poli cies. Although decisions on overtime, re lating to the length of the workweek, are typically made at the foreman level in re sponse to changes in current workloads, de cisions to change hiring policies are made at the plant management level, or even higher. That is, changes in weekly hours come about as the result of fluctuations in current work loads and are short-term adjustments of labor input. In contrast, changes in employment, other than those resulting from normal turn over, are the result of policy decisions based on long-term anticipated workloads. The latter adjustments presume some revisions in the business outlook of the plant, division, or company; they require the accumulation of internal and external evidence that such re vision is warranted. In the meantime, estab lished policies stand. A d ju s t m e n t o f L a b o r I n p u t B e f o r e P e a k s In the early stages of the cyclical de cline of average weekly hours, reduction of overtime plays a large role. Although deci sions on overtime hours are often made by foremen or supervisors who are under general instructions to keep such hours from being excessive, how vigorously these instructions are observed depends on circumstances such as the relative importance of labor costs, the profitability of the work involved, the urgency of the delivery date, and the service orien tation of the firm. In any case, during the period close to peaks in general business activity, workloads tend to be heavy, deliv eries urgent, the labor market tight, and re course to longer hours least avoidable. Fore men request additional help, but frequently cannot obtain it expeditiously. This is their excuse for the high costs of hours worked at premium rates. Suppose that the demand originating from "sales" decreases somewhat. These decreases will take pressure off "production" and lead to a reduction in premium hours, thereby r e ducing the l e ng t h of the average workweek. The f a c t t hat overtime hours are cut wi ll not n e c e s s a r i l y induce foremen to c a n c e l t h e i r requests f o r a d d it i o na l help, s i nc e they may have no reason to assume t h a t the reducti on of pressure i s more than temporary. They have j u s t reached the d es i ra bl e condition o f oper ating without exc es sive overtime and w i l 1 want to continue t h i s s t a t e of a f f a i r s . The labor market, on the whole, i s s t i l l very t i g h t . They may have been clamoring for some hard-toget personnel f o r a long time and w i l l not rel i nq ui sh t h e i r demands. In addition, there may s t i l l be some b ack log of work pl us many t asks t h a t had been postponed in o r d e r to give p r i o r i t y to u rg e nt o r d e r s . Vol un ta ry quits will t y p i c a l l y be replaced, r e q u i s i t i o n s of old standing w i l l be kept a c t i v e , and new requests wi l l be processed. I f h i r i n g i s done to cut overtime, r e c r u i t i n g and t r a in i n g c ost s must, of course, be considered. To some ex t en t r e c r u i t i n g c os t s are fixed; and t r a i n i n g c os t s , spread over any prolonged s e r v i c e of new workers, tend to be below overtime c ost s. For many new j obs, t r a i n i n g periods are short, trained workers can be h i r e d , or even un t rained workers w i l l soon begin to produce— even though a t a low r a t e . Thus, t r a i n i n g c os t s are not regarded as a major d e t e r r e n t to r ep la c in g overtime by regular workers.

At the same time, management may try to find jobs for exc es s workers elsewhere in the firm—perhaps as replacements f o r vol untary q u i t s , r e t i r e m e n t s , or ot her s e p a r a t ions.

In many cases, d i s m i s s a l o f workers with s p e c i f i e d s e n i o r i t y may be p e r m i t t e d only a f t e r the workday i s cut f or a l l workers or a f t e r con s u l t a t i o n with the union. Even i f l a y o f f s are i ndi ca t ed, s e n i o r i t y r u l es may delay the adj ust ment . A worker whose j o b i s to be a bo li s he d, may have t h e r i g h t to "bump" a worker with lower s e n i o r i t y , in the same or another department or pl ant . The t r an s f e r r e d worker has to l e a r n t he new j o b — t y p i c a l l y from the replaced man.

I n t e r n a l and e x t e r n a l evidence must be s u f f i c i e n t l y s trong and prolonged to j u s t i f y a policy change.

Also, Supplementary unemployment benefits are an example.

Combined unemployment insurance and supplementary unemployment b e n e f i t s assured a f a i r l y high income for the l a y o f f s ; the earn ings o f the high s e n i o r i t y workers were pro t ec t ed ; and the o v e r a l l income f o r the group as a whole was higher than i t would have been ot herwi se. Assuming t he p e r p e t u a t i o n o f present r u l e s , the spread o f supplementary unemployment b e n e f i t s in the f u t u r e would tend to dampen the c y c l i c a l f l u c t u a t i o n s o f the average workweek. T echnol ogic al progress in the d i r e c t i o n of gr e a t e r automation may a f f e c t the f l u c t u at i on of hours in some continuous-process in dustries. Closely scheduled around-the-clock operati ons might be expected to impose narrow l i m i t s on the manipulation o f the lengt h o f the workweek. However, 2 4 - h o u r o p e r a t i n g schedules do not n e c e s s a r i l y imply i n f l e x i b i l i t y in t he l e n g t h o f t h e workweek per worker. Workers can s t i l l work a 4 - , 5-, or 6-day week. Mo reov er , t h e l e n g t h o f t he standard s h i f t can be changed; f o r example, four 6-hour s h i f t s might be s u b s t i t u t e d f o r t hree 8-hour s h i f t s . Thus, c o n s i d e r a b l e f l e x i b i l i t y in the length of the workweek i s compatible with cont inuous p l a n t o p e r at i o n. The o v e r a l l e f f e c t of automat ion, however, may be in the d i r e c t i o n of l e s s f l e x i b i l i t y , s i nc e changes in the number o f days worked and in the length of s h i f t s are managerially cumbersome — c e r t a i n l y more so than a r r a n g e ments f or overtime or s h o r t t i n e under l e s s r i g i d ope ra t in g conditions. Will p r o g r es s in management t ec hni ques a f f e c t the lead o f weekly hours? The corporate o f f i c e r s interviewed expressed some i n t e r e s t in s e t t i n g s t a n d a r d s f o r d e c i s i o n s on t he adjustment o f labor input. Attempts had been made, i t was learned, to develop formal stand ards ranging from si mple r u l e s o f thumb t o more complex approaches. A simple approach might be i l l u s t r a t e d by the rule: " I f 50 ad d i t i o n a l man-hours per week a t a s e m i s k i l l e d occupation are required for more than 6 weeks, an ext ra man w i l l be h i r e d . " In another i n st ance, experiments were made to base h i r i n g (and l a y o f f ) d e c i s i o n s on a combination of 5 or 6 i m p o r t a n t f a c t o r s such as l e n g t h of pr os pe ct iv e employment (or dearth of work), l e v e l o f s k i l l , degree o f s p e c i a l i z a t i o n and t r a i n i n g time. However, i t t r a n s p i r e d t ha t r u l e s o r formulas were i n f r e q u e n t l y r e l i e d upon in p r a c t i c e , presumably because o f the many complicating f a c t o r s and s p e ci a l circum st anc es. Frequently, d e ci s io n s may be heavily a f f e c t e d by s p e c i a l c o n s i d e r a t i o n s incapable of standardized measurement; for example, the need of an important customer for a p a r t i c u l a r job at a p a r t i c u l a r time. Consequently, the f ormal izing o f d ec is i on s on overtime ver sus h i r i n g are p r a c t i c a l only within narrow lim its. In any c a se , t he re is no i n d i c a t i o n t hat such f o r m a l i z a t i o n would reduce f l e x i b i l i t y in the length of the average workweek. One more f a c t o r which should be c o n sidered i s improved business f o r e c a s t i n g . The lag of employment turns behind those in hours may, to some e x t e n t be due to the b e l a t e d r e a l i z a t i o n of c y c l i c a l changes in industry or company a c t i v i t y . To the extent that t h i s i s so, i n c r e a s e d awareness and s k i l l f u l use of economic i n d i c a t o r s may conceivably shorten the lag and prevent companies from continuing t h e i r employment p o l i c i e s a f t e r circumstances may wa rr a nt a r e v e r s a l . However, d e s p i t e c ur r e n t pr o gr es s in t h i s f i e l d , f o r e c a s t i n g s t i l l remains spe cul ati ve . Important changes in the hours-employment l ea ds cannot be ex pected to o r i g i n a t e from t h i s quarter. Sharp ened f o r e s i g h t and wise economic p o l i c i e s may tend t o reduce the s e v e r i t y of business c y c le s , and, consequently, of labor input f l u ct ua t io ns . However, such reducti on would be u nl i kel y to a f f e c t the lead o f average hours over employ ment in i t s r o l e as an i n d i c a t o r o f economic change, si nc e hours have led during both severe and mild c y c l e s . A l t o g e t h e r , although t h e r e are f a c t o r s which may in the fut ure tend to l i m i t the f l e x i b i l i t y of hours of work, the lead of hours over employment turns w i l l probably be maintained and with i t the importance of the length o f the workweek as an i n d i c a t o r of c y c l i c a l change. Employment Highlights FE B R U A R Y 1959 Employment changes in most other industries were seasonal. The relatively large Increase in apparel trades employment was the usual one associated with production of summer wear. The number of employees on nonfarm payrolls was 50.2 million in February 1959, virtually unchanged from the previous month. Most Industries shoved the customary seasonal change. The steel Industry con tinued to report a steady recovery in employment from the low point of the business downturn last spring. Factory Workweek and Earnings The factory workweek, at 39*8 hours in February, was comparatively steady over the month. Hourly earn ings remained at $2.19 &nd weekly earnings edged off by 22 cents to $87.16. The workweek in manufacturing industries was seasonally steady at 39-8 hours. There was almost no change in hours of work in the primary metals indus try, although there is usually a large decline. The machinery industry reported a rise in hours of work which was apparently connected with catching-up opera tions following the end of a major strike. In the automobile Industry where employment was close to the January level, hours of work dropped sharply. Konmanufacturing Industries Employment changes in nonmanufacturing Industries were on the whole seasonal. The job decline in retail trade was somewhat less than usual for the month, but the drop in contract construction was relatively sharp for February. Employment declined slightly in mining and transportation; the job situation in these indus tries has shown almost no Improvement since the low point of the recession. Hourly earnings of factory production workers remained unchanged for the third consecutive month at $2.19« Weekly earnings edged off to $87 .16. Compared with February a year ago, average weekly earnings were up by $6.52. This resulted from the lengthening of the workweek by l. k hours as well as the rise of 9 cents in hourly earnings. Every major industry group in manufacturing reported higher weekly earnings in February 1959 than a year earlier. Earnings were higher by more than $16 per week In the primary metals and rubber products industries. Both industries have recovered sharply over the year In hours of work, and have alto shown large increases In hourly earnings. Factory Job Changes Are Seasonal The number of factory jobs rose slightly over the month to 15*7 million. Employment continued to rise substantially in the primary metals industry as steel mills further increased their output. Employment in primary metals has risen about 140,000 ( Ik percent) since Its low point last May. An employment increase In the machinery industry resulted mainly from strike settlements at a large agricultural equipment company. x ii 1 Historical Employment Data Table A-1: Employees in nonagricultural establishments, by industry division Year and month Contract con struction TOTAL Mining 26,829 27,088 24,125 25,569 28,128 27,770 28,505 29,539 29,691 29,710 1,124 1,230 953 920 1,203 1,092 1,080 1,176 1,105 1,041 1,021 31,041 1,078 29,143 26,383 23,377 23,466 25,699 26,792 28,802 30,718 1,000 (In thousands) Transpor Finance, Wholesale Manufac tation and and retail insurance, public and real turing trade utilitie s estate Service and miscel laneous Govern ment Annual average: 1919.......... 19S0 .......... 192 1 192 2 192 3 192U .......... 192 5 192 6 192 7 192 8 192 193 193 193 193 9 0 1 2 3 193^.......... . 193 5 193 6 193 7 193 8 . 193 9 19^0................... . 1941........... 19^2........... 194 3 . 194 4 . 194 5 . 194 6 . 194 7 . 194 8 . 194 9 195 0 195 1 195 2 195 3 . . . . . 195 4 195 5 . 195 6 195 7 195 8 1958 t February..
