Most of this month's rise reflected the nor mal seasonal pickup which follow» the July vacation period, but there were some better-than-seasonal in creases in durable goods manufacturing. Wonmanufacturlng Jobs Rise Seasonally In August 1958, rising by Employment changes in the nonmanufacturing indus tries were mainly seasonal. The largest increase (5*1,000) was in contract construction, which has gone up about seasonally since spring. The largest decline (¡12,000) was in State and local government, accounted for by the usual July-to-August decline In the educa tion sector. Since April, there has been a pickup of about jobs in the nonfarm economy after allowance for normal seasonal variations. During the previous 9 months, job totals had dropped by 2.* million* 500,000 Factory Workweek Rises to 39«* Hours Factory hours of work had declined sharply last fall and winter, from *0.0 hours in August to 38*3 hours in April, a postwar low. Since then, hours of work have Increased by about one hour to 39** hours. Weekly overtime work declined from 2.* to 1.5 hours frcm August 1957 to April 1958• By August of this year overtime work was up to 2.2 hours. Hours of vork in manufacturing industries rose seasonally by 0*2 hours to 39»* 1b August, but were 0*6 hours below August 1957* Average hourly earnings declined from $2.13 to $2.12 over the month; average weekly earnings, however, remained approximately steady at $83.53 * Weekly Earnings Unchanged in August Average weekly earnings remained approximately steady at $83.53, because a dip In average hourly earnings was offset by an Increase in hours of work. Average hourly earnings in total manufacturing de clined from $2.13 to $2.12 over tbs month, because of the usual August Increase in the number of lower paid seasonal workers in tobacco and food processing. Manufacturing Employment Continues Slow Improvement Factory employment rose by 300,000 to 15*5 Bil lion in August, continuing the Improvement which began in June. The primary metals industries— steel works, nonferrous mills and smelters, and foundries and forges— were up more than seasonally over the month. There were also sizable job gains in the manufacture of communication equipment and a contraseasonal em ployment rise In farm machinery plants. Job totals continued to tion equipment Industry as changing over to new model employment in August was at 19*6. August Employment Down 2 Million Over Year Nonfarm employment in August was almost 2 million lower than a year ago. Manufacturing, particularly of durable goods, accounted for most of the overthe-year decline. The transportation equipment, machinery, primary metals, and fabricated metals in dustries accounted for a loss of more than 1 million jobs over the year. fall in the transporta automobile plants were production. Automobile the lowest level since Among the nonmanufacturing industries, there were sharp declines over the year in transportation, con struction, mining, and trade. Only State and local governments reported significant job gains over the year. Increases of 100,000 jobs in the food processing Industry and 53,000 In the apparel industry were pri marily seasonal. Job changes in the remaining sectors of manufacturing were also mainly seasonal. xvi 1 H isto rical Employment Data Table A-l: Employees in nonagricultural establishments, by industry division (In Y e a r and m o n t h TOTAL Mining Contract con struction 26,829 1,12* 1,230 1,021 27,088 24,125 25.569 953 thousands) Manufac turing Transpor Finance, Wholesale t a t i o n and insurance, and r e t a i l public and real trade utilitie s estate Service and miscel laneous Govern ment A nnual average: 1919•••••••••••• 1920.......... 192 1 192 2 ...... 1923.......... 192*........... 192 5 28,128 920 1,203 27,770 28,505 29,539 29.691 29,710 1,092 1,080 192 9 193 0 193 1 193 2 193 3 193*.......... 1935.......... 193 6 193 7 193 8 31,041 29,143 26,383 23,377 23,466 25,699 26,792 1,078 1,000 86* 30,718 1,006 193 9 19*0.......... 19*1.......... 19*2 .......... 19*3.......... 19**.......... 19*5.......... 19*6.......... 19*7.......... 19*8.......... 30,311 192 6 192 7 192 8 28,802 28,902 32,058 36,220 39,779 42,106 41,534 40,037 41,287 43,462 44,448 1,176 1,105 1,0*1 722 1,145 882 8*5 916 918 889 916 885 2,165 2,333 14,178 14,967 2,634 16,334 17,238 15,995 716 Data for the 2 most 479523 0 - 5 8 - 3 10,078 10,780 2,169 49,726 49,949 50,413 NOTE: 1,150 982 76 50,541 9,253 1,982 852 50.477 49,777 50,202 1,055 9*3 917 1958: January...
