PREFACE

The Bureau of Labor Statistics wishes to acknowledge
with gratitude the cooperation of thousands o f business
organizations and Federal, State, and local government
agencies whose officials have given freely the statistics
and other information needed for this volume. The figures
shown provide a unique opportunity to reveal net only the
vast panorama of our industrial economy, created by the
people o f the United States through their imagination,
enterprise, and labor, but also the varied detail of which it
is made. In this book we show, among other facts, in what
industries people have jobs, how many hours they work each
week, and how much they earn by the hour and by the week.
Studying the past helps us to understand the present and
assess the future; this book, through the data shown, traces
the growth and transformation of the Nation’ s industrial
economy and the distribution of its manpower through the
most recent 5 decades of this century.

Labor turnover statistics showing the rate o f a ccessions
and separations, by industry, for the Nation and for selected
States and areas, are also based on data supplied by em­
ployers. The 42 State agencies currently in the cooperative
program on these turnover statistics have the same respon­
sibilities as in the employment statistics program. This pro­
gram is jointly financed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics
and the Bureau of Employment Security.
A separate section presenting some of the broader cat­
egories of labor force statistics is also embodied in this
volume, in order to provide a rounded picture o f historical
employment trends. The labor force statistics are compiled
through household interviews, and provide, estimates cover­
ing the entire labor force, including unemployed and agri­
cultural workers.
This volume of historical statistics represents a signi­
ficant technical achievement by the Division of Manpower
and Employment Statistics. The following units and indi­
viduals made important contributions to the final result.

Payroll employment statistics, which provide detailed
industry information for the Nation on the employment, hours
of work, and earnings of nonfarm wage and salary workers,
are based on information supplied by employers.
Each
month, a sample of industrial, commercial, and government
establishments, employing collectively about 25 million
workers, send data drawn from their payrolls to State agen­
cies cooperating with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In
these agencies, data are extracted for preparation of figures
on State and area employment, hours, and earnings. Then
the reports are sent to the BLS to be used in the preparation
of national figures. The costs of this Federal-State pro­
gram are shared in 44 States with the U.S. Department of
Labor’ s Bureau of Employment Security; the costs in the
remaining States are shared by the State departments of
labor with the BLS. Employers’ contribution reports under
the unemployment insurance system are the major source of
benchmarks on which most industry employment estimates
are based. These reports are collected and tabulated by
State employment security agencies under Bureau of Employ­
ment Security direction. Benchmark data for the remaining
portions are obtained with the help of records from the
Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance, the Civil Serv­
ice Commission, several other Government agencies, and
private organizations including the American Hospital A sso­
ciation, National Catholic Welfare Conference, and the Na­
tional Council of Churches.




The volume was prepared under the general direction
of Harold Goldstein, Chief, and of Dudley E. Young, A ssist­
ant Chief for Industry Employment Statistics, and under the
direct supervision of Rudolph C. Mendelssohn, Chief of the
Branch of Employment Operations, and Robert O Dorman,
Chief of the Branch of Program Planning and Techniques.
The estimating techniques underlying the statistics
were the responsibility of John P. Wymer, who was assisted
by Dorothy M. Hinton, Samuel Schechter, Joaquin A. Pavia,
Nathan Buchalter, Margaret W. Testerman, and Carol M. Utter.
Emeline French and Maurice M. Levin provided technical
assistance in the adaptation of the series to the new indus­
trial classification system. David M. Fishbein was respon­
sible for the organization of the volume, under the supervi­
sion of Robert M. Shaw. Edward B. Morris designed the
electronic computer programs generating data for 1959 and
I960. Programs for earlier years, and for direct printing of
the statistical pages by the computer were designed under
the guidance of Frederick W. Suffa, by Walter Stuart, aided
by Carol G. King, Pauline T. Padgett, and Brendan J. Powers.
Vincent W. Casey and Alene B. Chase supervised the
technical staff review of the statistics.

INTRODUCTION

This volume presents historical data based on the
1957 Standard Industrial Classification system for nonagricultural industries in the economy. Statistics included are
monthly and annual data on the following: Employment, pro­
duction workers, weekly earnings, weekly hours, hourly earn­
ings, overtime hours, employment of women, and labor
turnover rates. In addition, there are seasonally adjusted
data for some o f these series, as well as indexes of aggre­
gate weekly hours and weekly payroll. Tables on spendable
weekly earnings and hourly earnings, excluding overtime,
are also included.
In a separate section on labor force statistics, historical
tables of employment and unemployment data by broad demo­
graphic characteristics are presented. These statistics have
been included to complete this history of labor market devel­
opments, as the labor force survey covers certain groups not
reached by establishment payroll statistics, e.g ., the unem­
ployed, the self-employed, unpaid family workers, and a g r i ­
cultural employment.
The trends reflected in these particular statistics may
be useful economic indicators. The average weekly hours
series and layoff and accession rates in manufacturing may
provide lead indicators of swings in the business cycle.
Labor economists and other social scientists should find in
these series an important indication of the health of the Na­
tion's economy as well as a measure of the well-being of the
millions of Americans who depend on salaries and wages.
Industrial growth and progress may be assessed by using the
employment and hours series in conjunction with other e co ­
nomic data to obtain measures of productivity. The data on
U.S. employment, hours, and earnings may offer insight into
the problems of foreign economies.
In the field of business, the labor turnover series can be
used in measuring the effectiveness of management and per­
sonnel p olicies.
An establishment's labor turnover rate
found to be higher than the average for similar firms may
alert management to serious personnel problems.

Beginning with data for January 1958, the BLS retabu­
lated each one of the 120,000 monthly reports, on which the
series in this volume are based, after recoding the reports
to conform to the 1957 SIC. For the period prior to January
1958, the series of statistics based on the prior cla ssifi­
cation system were used to construct data conforming to the
new classification system. This was more feasible when
there was no conceptual difference for a series between the
new classification system and the old, or where the con­
ceptual differences in definition were of a minor nature.
Special attention was focused on series for industry divi­
sions, subdivisions, and major groups in manufacturing
because of th$ wide interest in these data. Series on the
new basis to replace those on the old were reconstituted as
far back as technically feasible, even though conceptual
differences may have been significant.
For many series,
however, this was not possible and for these series data
do not exist for periods prior to 1958.
The national industry statistics at all levels include
Alaska and Hawaii beginning with 1959. Definitions of the
industries in this volume are available in the Guide to Em­
ployment Statistics of BLS, 1961, which describes the in­
dustries and identifies the component industries when the
definitions combine two or more industries of the 1957 Stand­
ard Industrial Classification.

The earnings and hours data afford guidance in plant
location, sales, and purchases. A lso, in the negotiation of
long-term supply or construction contracts, the series on
average hourly earnings is an aid in arriving at an equitable
agreement; "escalation clauses'* included in the contracts
permit an increase or a lowering of the settlement price,
depending on the movement of average hourly earnings in a
selected industry, generally the industry in which the
supplying firm is classified. Wide need has been demon­
strated by both labor and business for industry series on
hourly earnings and weekly hours to provide a basis for
labor-management negotiations.
They not only furnish
essential information, both past and present, on a given
industry, but provide corresponding data on related in­
dustries for comparison.

The occasion for the revision to the new 1957 SIC struc­
ture was an opportune time to introduce improvements, some
of them of considerable significance. These included ad­
justment to March 1959 benchmark lev els—previous estimates
had been projected from first quarter 1957 benchmarks. This
was also the first time that benchmark levels and employment
samples stratified in many cases, by size, or region, or both
were used; it was found, after intensive analysis of the
sample reports, that significant improvements could be made
for many earnings and hours series by the introduction of
stratification.
Additional technical improvements have
resulted from the development of new and improved sources
of benchmark data for employment to supplement data avail­
able from social insurance records, particularly for the
service division. Further progress occurred also, because
of the use of improved automatic electronic data-processing
equipment as a means of providing more analyses and con­
trolling and maintaining quality. A detailed discussion of

The industry statistics in this volume are based on the
1957 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Manual pub­
lished by the O ffice of Statistical Standards of the Bureau
of the Budget. Previously, the series for the United States
conformed to the 1945 Standard Industrial Classification
Manual for manufacturing industries, to the 1949 Standard




Industrial Classification Manual for government, and to the
1942 Social Security Board (SSB) Industrial Classification
Code for other nonmanufacturing industries. Conversion to
the new classification system has resulted in significant
shifts of activities from one industry to* another, among
groups within an industry division, and also between divi­
sions.
At the industry division level, for example, milk
pasteurization plants and ready-mixed concrete establish­
ments were transferred from trade to manufacturing; and
radio and television were transferred from the service divi­
sion to the transportation and public utilities division.
Shifts among groups within division were numerous; in manu­
facturing, for example, fats and oils were transferred from
chemicals to foods, and plastics from miscellaneous manu­
facturing to rubber. Although many classification changes
were made, some industries have identical definitions under
the old and new classification systems.

similar information for each metropolitan area along with the
metropolitan area definitions. These guides may be obtained
free as long as the supply lasts by writing to the U.S. Depart­
ment of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Division of Man­
power and Employment Statistics, Washington 25, D. C.

Future issues of this publication are planned on an
annual basis, to keep the information up to date. Users
requiring current statistics, however, will find all of these
published in Employment and Earnings, and some of the key
figures in the Monthly Labor Review and the U.S. Department
of Labor press releases on employment, labor turnover, and
spendable earnings.
Employment and Earnings and the
Monthly Labor Review are available for reference in many
public and university libraries, or by subscription from the
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing
O ffice.
Names will be added to the mailing lists for the
releases, upon request to the BLS.

The main content of this volume is composed of the
historical series of data that have been developed from the
Bureau’ s establishment sample of payroll data. In addition,
for the convenience of the users, some summary historical
data on total employment (including wage and salary workers,
the self-employed, and unpaid family workers in agriculture
as well as nonagricultural industries), unemployment, and
the labor force are presented in Section II. These labor
force statistics are based on a monthly household survey
conducted by the Bureau of the Census for the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. In that survey, interviews are carried out
with a national sample of 35,000 households located in 333
areas throughout the country, and information is obtained for
die calendar week ending nearest the 15th of the month. The
results are analyzed and published, together with the payroll
data, in the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports, The Monthly
Report on the Labor Force, and Employment and Earnings.
More detailed analyses are prepared in the form of articles
in the Monthly Labor Review and reprinted with additional
statistics in a series of Special Labor Force Reports.

This volume contains only national data; State and
metropolitan area data may best be obtained from the coop­
erating State agencies. Addresses of these offices are listed
t on the inside back cover.
Users interested in the identity of
series available for States can obtain the Guide to State Em­
ployment Statistics, I960, which is an index to the industries
for which statewide employment, hours, and earnings series
are currently published by State agencies cooperating in
the employment statistics program of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. The Guide to Area Employment Statistics lists
