EmploymentHighlights
SEPTEM BER 1958
other than manufacturing. The start of the new school
term and the usual autumn expansion in retail trade
resulted in sizable Job increases in State and local
governments and general merchandise and apparel stores

Employment in manufacturing continued to expand
more than seasonally In September 1956«
Manufacturing
jobs rose by 2^ 0,000, about 100,000 more than usual for
the month.
This, together with a seasonal Increase in
nonmanufacturing jobs, boosted total nonfarm employment
by 550,000 over the month to 51-1 million in September.
Gains were concentrated in durable-goods manufacturing,
especially in automobile plants which had started pro­
duction of 1959 models earlier than usual.

The job change in the construction industry was
about seasonal, as it has been in each of the past ^
months. Employment remained at low levels in the
mining and transportation Industries.

The average factory workweek was lengthened by 0.2
hours to 39.8 hours in September as overtime work was
stepped up. With the increase in overtime worked and a
1-cent rise in hourly earnings, weekly earnings rose to
a record high of $85.17 .

Factory Workweek Rises Seasonally
Hour8 of work in manufacturing rose seasonally
over the month to 39*8 hours. Especially large in­
creases in the workweek occurred in steel mills and
textile plants. Overtime hours at premium pay rose by
0.2 hours per week to 2.^ hours in September.

Factory Job Totals Continue to Rise
Manufacturing employment increased by 2^0,000 over
the month to 15.7 million in September. The rise was
substantially greater than usual and marked the fourth
month of steady improvement from the low point reached
in May.

At 39.8 hours, the September workweek was almost
back to the level of a year ago, but was about 1
hour below the September levels of the preceding 2
years (1955 and 1956).

Comparatively large gains were reported in the
metals, machinery, and transportation equipment indus­
tries, particularly in plants producing automobiles,
steel, and automobile components such as metal stamp­
ings and hardware. The September rise in auto industry
employment reflected an earlier than usual start on new
model car production.
There were also significant job
gains in plants producing home appliances, radio and TV
sets, and electronic equipment.

Factory Earnings at New High
As a result of wage rate increases in a number of
industries and more overtime work at premium pay,
average hourly earnings for manufacturing as a whole
rose by 1 cent over the month to $2.1^.
Average
weekly earnings rose by 82 cents to a record high of
$85.17.
Compared with a year ago, weekly earnings were up
by more than $2 on the average.
Even larger gains
were recorded over the year by several industries:
Ordnance (up $9*29 to $10^.33 per week), lumber (up
$6.92 to $78.50 ), and primary metals (up $ 5*76 to
$107.02).

Employment Increases In the nondurable-goods sec­
tor were for the most part seasonal.
