Me n d e l s s o h n hired hands in a g r iculture is a relatively small part o f total employment, d e c l i n i n g from 3.3 million in 1919 to 1.9 million in 1956 a c c o r d i n g to the U. S. D e p a r t m e n t of Agriculture, inclusion of hired farmhands has little effect on industry relationships: The proportionate change is somewhat greater for industries with i n c reasing shares o f total e m p l o y m e n t and s l i g h t l y s m a l l e r for those with declining shares of job opportunities. Since World W a r I, powerful underlying economic forces, obscured by dynamic, transient events of war and depression, have slowly re shaped the Nation's basic employment picture. Employment of persons working for wages and salaries,1 apart from hired hands in agri c ulture, a b o u t d o u b l e d f r o m 2 6 . 8 m i l l i o n w o r k e r s in 1 919 to 5 1 . 9 m i l l i o n in 1956. Within the total figures, the relative impor tance of America's major job sources shifted among industries. Hie proportion of wage and salary workers in two industry divisions— the transportation and public utilities division and the mining division— has declined sharply, while the share o f jobs in the service a nd t r a d e lin e s has incr e a s e d . T h e t r e n d of government employment as a percentage of total employment was stable in the 1919-29 decade, increased s h arply in the next 3 years, and then remained essentially stable for the next 25 years. P r o m one viewpoint, the long-run p r o p o r t i o n s o f wage a nd s a l a r y w o r k e r s in finance, construction, and manufacturing a p p ear to be unchanged in the 3 8 -year period. A closer look, however, suggests that they, too, h a v e changed: T h e p r o p o r t i o n o f all nonfarm wage and salary workers employed in manufactur i n g declined while the proportion employed in construction inc r e a s e d sharply and moderate gains were made in the finance, insurance, and real-estate division. A change in the percentage of the total r e p r e s e n t e d by any one industry may be an arithmetic reflection of developments in other industries without any necessary direct eco nomic connection to the particular industry. Fo r example, an industry with stable actual employment levels would acquire an increasing share of jobs when the sum of employment in other industries falls; conversely, that in dustry's relative share of job opportunities would fall when the sum of employment in all other industries rises. These shifts, never theless, represent an alteration in the struc ture of the Nation's job market brought about by common underlying factors: Technological change, increased productivity, new markets, n e w products, and n e w services. Dramatic technological advances have made possible enormously increased production of goods with comparatively modest increases in employment, and rising real incomes have created increased demand for the services afforded by workers in other sectors of the economy. Employment data on which these conclu sions were based did not include hired a g r i c ultural workers. Examin a t i o n o f available data on such workers reveals that their omis sion does not modify the findings regarding the changing relationship o f job o p p o r t u n i ties among industries. Because employment of ^ E xc l u d e s pr op ri et or s, d o m e s t i c servants, iii s e l f - e m p l o y e d persons, and u n p a i d f a m i l y workers.

In creased p r oductivity in transporting goods and people, along with some shift to private transportation, accounts for the decline in the t r a n s p o r t a t i o n e m p l o y m e n t share. Fo r public utilities and communications, increas ing productivity is the major factor. Among major nonagricultural industries, t w o — m i n i n g and t r a n s p o r t a t i o n a n d p ublic utilities— have shown significantly declining t r e n d s 2 in relat i v e importance since 1919, with mining, alone among all major industries, sustaining an absolute decrease as well. In 1919, an average of 1.1 million workers were employed in mining; by 1956, the figure had fallen to 0.8 million. National income figures (in current dol lars) reflect a shift in the relative impor tance of output by these two industry divisions c o rresponding in direction to the shift in relative employment. According to ü. S. D e partment of Commerce figures for comparable categories, the proportion of national income originating in both the mining division and the combined transportation, public utilities, and communications division declined by about 26 percent b e tween 1929 and 1956. (Within the transportation and public utilities group, however, the share of national income origi nating in public utilities and communications increased by about 10 percent over the same period. ) Chart 1. Thus, in summary, two maj o r e c onomic forces toge t h e r a c c o u n t for the d e c l i n i n g shares of employment in the fields of mining and transportation, public utilities, and communications, and perhaps also explain the sharpness of the decline: (1) increasing productivity— which would lead to a reduction in relative manpower needs even if industry output as a proportion of total national pro duct remained the same; and (2) a change in national product mix reducing the relative importance of the two industry groups. The r elative importance of m i n i n g has declined fairly steadily from 1919 to 1956. In the transportation, public utilities, and communications division the share of employ ment slumped in 1983 below the downward trend established in previous years a nd persisted at the lower level all through the remainder of the depression and the early years of the war. A r e v e r s a l o c c u r r e d a f t e r 1943, the peak yea r of m a n u f a c t u r i n g activity d u r i n g World War II, when the wartime loàd on rail roads, shipping, and other forms of t r a n s p o r t a t i o n was m ost pressing. S i n c e 1946, relative employment has continued the 1919-29 trend (see chart 1). Service and Trade The m a j o r industry d i v i s i o n k n o w n as service and miscellaneous industries includes hotels; laundries; establishments rendering medical, legal, engineering, and other profes sional services; amusement enterprises such The reasons for the relative decline in employment in mining are well known— the great increases in productivity in coal extraction o T r e n d s l i n e s s h o w n on c h a r t s h av e b e e n ted by the lea st s q u a r e s method. V fit as bowling alleys and theaters; auto repairing businesses and garages; etc. Trade includes both r e t a i l a nd w h o l e s a l e e s t a b l i s h m e nts. With a few exceptions, the industries of both of t h e s e d i v i s i o n s are in d i r e c t or close contact with the consumer. Long-term increases in relative employ ment in trade and service, at first glance, are not as clearly defined as are the declines in mining and transportation. The trend lines on the following chart, however, do show m o d erately increasing shares in the two divisions over the period, more rapid in the decade following World War I than in 1946-56. Dur ing the depression, these relatively stable industries' shares of total employment rose, whereas d u r i n g World W a r II, they declined when e m p l o y m e n t in m a n u f a c t u r i n g increased sharply. Chart 2. Percent of nonfarm employment government share rose sharply by about 4 per centage points (see table 1). Prom 1929 to 1932, 3 years of severely declining business activity, a c t u a l e m p l o y m e n t in all o t h e r major i n d u s t r i e s d e c l i n e d steeply, w h i l e government employment edged upward slightly from 3 . 1 t o 3 . 2 million workers (see table A-l, page 1 ) During the last 25 years, in which . absolute employment rose from 3.2 to 7.2 mil lion, government relative employment levels persisted around 13.5 percent of total nonfarm employment. Changes from this figure were, at most, s l i g h t l y mor e t h a n 1 p e r c e n t a g e point. Although total government employment dis plays a strong tendency to remain relatively stable as a proportion of total nonagricultural employment, available data (beginning in 1929) reveal that this is the result of divergent trends b e t w e e n the two principal components of government: the Federal Govern ment and State and local government. Chart 3. Percent of nonfarm employment Government Prom 1919 to 1929, the share of employ ment in government was about 10 percent of the total, with actual employment increasing sl i g h t l y f r o m 2 . 7 to 3.1 m i l l i o n workers. In the three y e a r s from 1929 to 1932, the The p r o p o r t i o n of empl o y m e n t in State and local governments was only slightly higher in 1956 than in 1 9 2 9 — 9.5 percent of total nonagricultural employment against 8.2 per cent. Federal Government employment, on the other hand, more than doubled its share, in creasing from 1.7 to 4.3 percent of the total (while Federal employment actually increased T ab l e 2: P e r c e n t of n o n a g r i c u l t u r a l e m p l o y m e n t by F e deral and State and l o c a l g o v e r n m e n t b a s e d a n a v erage annual employment, 1929-56 Year Total government 1929 1 930___ 1931 1932 1933 1934 1935 1936. 1937 1938. 1939 1940-.. 1941 19421943 1944 1945 1946 1947 1948 1949 1950 19511952 19531954 1955 1956 9.9 10.8 12.4 13.8 13. 5 12. 8 13.0 12. 6 12.2 13.3 13.2 13. 1 12.9 13. 8 14. 4 14.6 14.8 13. 6 12. 6 12. 7 13.5 13. 5 13.5 13.7 13.4 13. 9 13.8 13.8 Federal Department of D e f e n s e T otal 1. 7 1.8 2. 1 2. 4 2.4 2. 5 2.8 2. 8 2. 7 2.8 3. 0 3. 1 3.7 5. 6 6. 9 7. 1 7.0 5.5 4.4 4. 2 4.4 4. 3 4. 9 5.0 4.7 4.5 4. 4 4. 3 _ _ _. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ — _ _ 0.6 .8 1. 4 3. 2 4. 5 4. 5 4 .2 2.5 1. 6 1.6 1.7 1. 6 2. 3 2.5 2.3 2.1 2. 1 2.0 more than fourf o l d — from 0.5 to 2.2 million workers).

Whereas construction's share fluctu ated because its actual employment swung more violently than nonfarm employment, in finance a c t u a l e m p l o y m e n t was stable, c a u s i n g its share to change only because total enployment changed in response to the alternating forces of prosperity and d e p r e s s i o n and peace and war. As in other industries, the trends in both finance and construction in the two post war periods were similar. Chart 5. Percent of nonfarm employment Between the end of Wor l d W a r I a nd the onset of the depression, the share of jobs in c o n s t r u c t i o n rose a l m o s t every y e a r as the Nation's rising p r o sperity during the 1920's created a construction boom. Actual employ ment in the i n d u s t r y s k y r o c k e t e d f r o m 1.0 million in 1919 to 1.6 million in 1928, a 60percent advance in 10 years; total employment advanced from 2 6 . 9 to 2 9 . 7 million, about 10 percent. In 1929, job shares in construction began to fall as actual employment in the in dustry b e g a n d e c l i n i n g b efore employment in other industry divisions. During the 1930's, the share of c o n s t r u c t i o n jobs remained in a sl u m p as the f a i l i n g e c o n o m y pushed actual emp l o y m e n t d o w n to low levels. J u s t prior to, and in the early stages of America's entry into W o r l d W a r II, c o n s t r u c t i o n ' s share of em p l o y m e n t s h o t up b r i e f l y as c a n t o n m e n t s and d e f e n s e p l a n t s w e r e rushed into place, then drop p e d a s m a t e r i a l s became scarce and tighter restrictions were clamped on building for p r i v a t e p u r p o s e s . T h e end of World War II b r o u g h t a r e n e w a l o f the steadily rising job share p a t t e r n w h i c h h a d been interrupted by the d e p r e s s i o n and the war. Finance The finance industry, like construction, was c h a r a c t e r i z e d b y no persistent change in the share of job o p p o r t u n i t i e s over the 38ye a r span. A n d a s in construction, marked f l u c t u a t i o n s d i d o c c u r , but for d i f f e r e n t Manufacturing The effects of business cycles and war and peace on the composition of total nonfarm employment are magnified more in manufacturing than in any other industry division. In 1919, 39 percent of total nonfarm employment was in manufacturing. Prom this high, the share of employment fluctuated around a gradually d e clining trend until 1929, and then plummeted from 34 to 2 9 p e r c e n t in the f o l l o w i n g 3 years. Recovery was almost as swift as the decline, with the percentage reaching 34.5 by 1937. A f ter a temporary set b a c k caused by the 1938 recession, the share in manufactur ing s o a r e d to a record, for the 38 y e a r s under study, of 41 percent of total nonfarm employment in the war year of 1943. Reduced w a r needs swiftly dropped the share back to 35 percent by 1946. Prom this point, a trend of d e c l i n i n g r e l a t i v e jo b o p p o r t u n i t i e s , which had followed World War I for a decade but was interupted by depression and war, was resumed. The p o s t - W o r l d W a r II decline, however, was at about h a l f the rate of the post-World War I downtrend. v iii wide swings in manufacturing, which distort and blur the underlying long-run trends. The depression of the 1930's is clearly denoted as are the minor recessions of 1949 and 1954 (see c h art 7). W o rld War II and the great depression, however, cause the widest devia tion from the central tendency. Nevertheless, there is a clear indication that over the four decades the share of employment in the goodsproducing sector has declined.3 Chart 6. Percent of nonfarm employment Chart 7. Long-T erm Trends From View a Different Grouping the major industry divisions into two categories— goods producing and service-type— provides a broader perspective than a n a l y s i s of e a c h m a j o r g r o u p a n d r e v e a l s underlying characteristics not otherwise readily d i s c e r n i b l e . The goods-producing sector includes: Construction (the erection of factories and homes, the paving of high ways, etc.); all of the extractive industries (mining of coal and metals and production of oil and natural gas); and manufacturing (chem icals, processed food, lumber, autos, machin ery, clothes, etc.). The service sector includes the service and m i s c ellaneous in dustries division; trade (buying and selling at wholesale and retail); the transportation, communications, and public utilities division; the finance, insurance, and real estate d i v ision; and government. 1919 1930 1935 1940 1945 1950 1956 The period from 1930 to 1945 was attended by a sequence of e v ents which strongly a f fected the Nation's economy. Not only did the United States suffer the most catastrophic d e p r e s s i o n in its h i s t o r y but it was also g Relative e m p loyment in these two cate gories is markedly a f f ected by the economic aberrations, lar g e l y a c o n s e q u e n c e of the 4 7 4 0 -57 -2 445 1925 For an a m p l i f i c a t i o n of the g o od s vs. s e r v i c e s e c t o r trends, s e e C h a n g i n g P a t t e r n s of I n d u s t r i a l E m p l o y m e n t , 1919-55, M o n t h l y L a b o r R e view, M a r c h 1956, pp. 279-285. ix struck by the calamitous forces of World War II. On the other hand, from 1919 to 1929 and from 1946 to 1956, although short recessions and periods of peak prosperity occurred, the relative employment fluctuations did not move far from the basic h i s t o r i c a l trends. For both postwar periods, the 2 sectors d i v e r g e at a more rapid rate than for the 3 8 - y e a r period (see chart 7). It may w e l l be that the trends in both postwar periods are closer to basic economic patterns than the overall trend of the past 38 years. These, together with rates computed for the two postwar periods, are shown in table 3. It would be a mistake to conclude that the allocation of job opportunities over the next few years will inevitably and precisely follow patterns of the recent past. The d e velopment of a t o m i c power, advances in the field of automation, and other technological development may change the employment picture. Moreover, the past itself is not so well d e fined that its characteristics are unmistak able. Careful examination of data can lead, as has b e e n shown, in table 3, to s e v e r a l slightly differing conclusions regarding the rates of change. The persistent agreement on directions shown by the figures in table 3, however, argues strongly that the basic trends are not likely to be turned or modified signi ficantly over the next few years.

Total nonfarm employ ment, which usually rises between September and Octo ber, dipped by 50,000 to a level of 53.1 million and the factory workweek declined by l/2 hour to 39.5 hours. Declines in employment and in factory hours were to some extent the result of an unusually large number of workers absent because of influenza. The October drop in manufacturing employ ment was the 10th consecutive monthly decline after allowance for normal seasonal fluctuations. Factory employment was 1*70,000 under October 1956, and the workweek down by 1.2 hours. The over-the-year gain in total nonfarm employment, which amounted to 1.2 million in January 1957, has progressively narrowed during the past 10 months; nonfarm employment in October 1957 **s 125*000 higher than a year ago. Nonmanufacturing Employment Rises Seasonally Employment changes in nonmanufacturing in dustries were mainly seasonal between September and October. Jobs in retail trade continued to show strong seasonal gains. State and local government employment also rose substantially with further sea sonal expansion in school systems. Employment in 2 nonmanufacturing industries, transportation and con tract construction, was below year-ago levels. Factory Employment Down in October Employment in manufacturing dropped by 117,000 between September and October to a level of 16.8 million. The only major employment increase occurred in the automobile industry, where workers were recalled after model changeovers. Some employ ment gains were also reported by plants producing stampings and hardware for the automobile industry. Job cut8 were widespread in such heavy goods indus tries as steelworks and foundries (where employment totals were further reduced by scattered strikes) and in metalworking, electrical, and general industrial machinery. Consumers goods industries such as house hold machinery and appliances also reported job de clines. The aircraft industry continued to cut back 1957 employment in October. The textile industry showed a contraseasonal drop in October and the decline in apparel employment was greater than usual for the month. Employment in the food processing industry dropped 72,000 between September and October, largely because of seasonal influences. Most other nondurable-goods industries reported approximately seasonal changes in employment. Factory Workweek Drops by l/2 Hour The workweek of factory production workers, which usually rises between September and October, dropped sharply to 39.5 hours. This decline reflec ted to some extent the unusually large numbers of workers absent part of the week because of illness. Reduced hours of work were widespread. The primary metals industry, which usually shows a small rise in the October workweek, reported a large decline--1.4 hours— concentrated in steelworks and foundries. Sharp cutbacks— instead of usual increases— were also reported in fabricated metals and machinery indus tries. Nondurable-goods industries which reported greater than usual declines, or declines where in creases are customary were food, tobacco, apparel, paper, and rubber. The workweek in petroleum prod ucts dropped by 1.8 hours over the month. Average overtime hours in manufacturing de clined 0.2 hours over the month. At 2.3 hours, over time work in October was 0.8 hours below a year ago. Weekly Earnings Down $1 As a result of the reduction in the work week, average weekly earnings of factory production workers dropped by $1.04 between September and October to a level of $82.16— about the same as a year ago. Average hourly earnings remained steady at $2.08. The largest reductions in weekly earnings over the month occurred in petroleum products ($6 .51 ), primary metals ($4.3* , tobacco ($2.24), and 0 machinery ($2 .02). 1 HISTO R IC A L EM PLO YM EN T D A T A Table A-l: Employees in nonagricultural establishments, by industry division Year and month Annual average: 1919.
