Information for each of the 89 separate manufacturing industries and for the manufacturing industries combined is shown, following which are presented tabulations showing the changes in employment and pay rolls in the 16 nonmanufacturing groups included in the Bureau’s monthly survey, together with information available con cerning employment in the executive civil service and on class I railroads. T Employment in Selected Manufacturing Industries in April 1933 Comparison of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in April 1933 with March 1933 and April 1932 M PLOYM EN T in manufacturing industries increased 1.6 per cent in April 1933 as compared with March 1933 and pay-roll totals increased 4.5 percent over the month interval. Comparing April 1933 with April 1932, decreases of 10 percent in employment and 21.9 percent in pay rolls are shown over the 12-month period. The index of employment in April 1933 was 56.0 as compared with 55.1 in March 1933, 57.5 in February 1933, and 62.2 in April 1932; the pay-roll index in April 1933 was 34.9 as compared with 33.4 in March 1933, 36.4 in February 1933, and 44.7 in April 1932. The 12month average for 1926 = 100. The percents of change in employment and pay-roll totals in April 1933 as compared with March 1933 are based on returns made by 17,954 establishments in 89 of the principal manufacturing industries in the United States, having in April 2,516,266 employees whose com bined earnings in 1 week were $41,068,232. Ordinarily there is a slight decrease in employment and pay rolls between March and April. The partial recovery.in April 1933, how ever, from the curtailed operations of March, due primarily to the bank holiday, combined with increased activity in April in a number of manufacturing industries, resulted in an increase in both employ ment and pay-roll totals. E ( 1) 2 Fifty-nine of the 89 manufacturing industries included in the Bureau’s monthly employment survey reported increased employ ment from March to April and 60 industries reported increased pay rolls. The most pronounced increase in employment (74.1 percent) was a seasonal increase in the fertilizer industry. The beverage industry, due almost entirely to the increase in brewery activities, reported a gain of 54.1 percent in number of workers. Numerous establishments in other branches of industry were also affected by the passage of beer legislation, glass factories, sawmills, furniture facto ries, machine shops, and other establishments reporting gains resulting from orders for supplies, bar fixtures, and other products. The castiron pipe industry reported a gain of 21.6 percent in employment from March to April. The cement industry reported a gain of 18.4 percent in employment and additional industries connected with the building construction industry reported substantial increases in employment from March to April. The steam fittings industry reported a gain in employment of 11.3 percent; brick, 10.2 percent; millwork, 6.5 per cent; sawmills, 4 percent; and structural metal work, 1.6 percent. Increases in employment ranging from 11.2 percent to 10.3 percent were reported in the women’s clothing, millinery, beet sugar, and radio industries. The most pronounced decline in employment from March to April was a seasonal decrease of 27.6 percent in the cottonseed oil-cake-meal industry. The marble-slate-granite industry reported a decline of 14.9 percent in employment from March to April, due largely to labor disturbances in certain Vermont localities. The decrease in employ ment in the leather industry, while partly seasonal, was accentuated by strikes reported in a number of Massachusetts plants. In table 1, which follows, are shown the number of identical estab lishments reporting in both March and April 1933 in the 89 manu facturing industries, together with the total number of employees on the pay rolls of these establishments during the pay period ending nearest April 15, the amount of their earnings for one week in April, the percents of change over the month and year intervals, and the indexes of employment and pay roll in April 1933. The monthly percents of change for each of the 89 separate indus tries are computed by direct comparison of the total number of employees and of the amount of weekly pay roll reported in identical establishments for the 2 months considered. The percents of change over the month interval in the several groups and in the total of the 89 manufacturing industries are computed from the index numbers of these groups, which are obtained by weighting the index numbers of the several industries in the groups by the number of employees or wages paid in the industries. The percents of change over the year interval in the separate industries, in the groups and in the totals, are computed from the index numbers of employment and pay-roll totals. 3 T a b le 1.— COM PARISON OF E M PL O Y M E N T AND PA Y ROLLS IN MANUFACTURING ESTABLISHM ENTS IN A P R IL 1933 W ITH M A RC H 1933 A N D A P R IL 1932 Industry Food and kindred prod ucts____ ________________ Baking............. ................

Employment in Nonmanufacturing Industries in April 1933 I NCREASES in employment in April, as compared with March, were reported in 8 of the 16 nonmanufacturing industries covered by the Bureau’s monthly employment survey, and increased pay-roll totals were reported in 6 of these nonmanufacturing industries. 13 The most pronounced gains in both employment and pay rolls over the month interval were seasonal increases of 48.2 percent in employment and 38.3 percent in pay rolls in the canning and preserv ing industry, due largely to increased operations in California estab lishments at the beginning of the vegetable canning season in that State. The dyeing and cleaning industry reported increased activity in April, which is seasonal at this time of year with this industry. The quarrying and nonmetallic mining industry reported increases of 11.8 percent in employment and 13.8 percent in pay rolls. Retail trade establishments, reflecting the expansion for. Easter trade, re ported 10.1 percent more employees in April than in March, with a corresponding increase of 9.6 percent in pay rolls. The coal-mining industries reported the most pronounced losses over the month interval, the bituminous coal-mining industry report ing decreases of 5.8 percent in employment and 13.6 percent in earn ings, and the anthracite mining industry reporting losses of 5.4 per cent in employment and 23.4 percent in pay rolls. In the following table are presented employment and pay-roll data for 15 groups of nonmanufacturing industries. Data concerning the building-construction industry are not included in the following tabulation, but are shown in more detail under the section “ Building construction.” 1 —C O M P A R IS O N OF E M P L O Y M E N T A N D P A Y R O L L S IN N O N M A N U F A C T U R IN G E S T A B L IS H M E N T S IN A P R I L 1933 W IT H M A R C H 1933 A N D A P R I L 1932 T able Industrial group Pay-roll totals Em ploym ent Estab lish ments report ing in Percent of Percent of both change change March Number Amount of on pay and pay roll roll, April April (1 week), M arch April April March 1933 to April 1933 to April 1932 to 1933 to April 1932 April April 1933 1933 1933 1933 Coal mining: 160 Anthracite......................... 1,490 Bituminous __............. . 275 Metalliferous m ining...........

Man-hour data for the building construction group and for the insur ance, real-estate, banking, and brokerage groups are not available, and data for several of the 89 manufacturing industries surveyed monthly are omitted from these tables due to lack of adequate information. The total number of establishments supplying man-hour data in these 15 industrial groups represents approximately 50 percent of the establishments supplying monthly employment data. The tabulations are based on reports supplying actual man-hours worked and do not include nominal man-hour totals, obtained by multiplying the total number of employees in the establishment by the plant operating time. Table 1 shows the average hours worked per employee per wreek and average hourly earnings in 15 industrial groups and for all groups combined. The average hours per week and average hourly earnings for the combined total of the 15 industrial groups are weighted aver ages, wherein the average man-hours and average hourly earnings in each industrial group are multiplied by the total number of employees in the group in the current month and the sum of these products divided by the total number of employees in the combined 15 indus trial groups. In presenting information for the separate manufacturing industries shown in table 2, data are published for only those industries in which the available man-hour information covers 20 percent or more of the total number of employees in the industry at the present time. The average man-hours and hourly earnings for the combined 89 manu facturing industries have been weighted in the same manner as the averages for all industrial groups combined, table 1.

Amount of pay roll Percent of change + 8 .0 21 Trend of Employment in April 1933 by States N THE following table are shown the fluctuations in employment and pay-roll totals in April 1933 as compared with March 1933 in certain industrial groups by States. These tabulations have been prepared from data secured directly from reporting establish ments and from information supplied by cooperating State agencies. The combined total of all groups does not include building-construction data, information concerning which is published elsewhere in a separate tabulation by city and State totals. In addition to the combined total of all groups, the trend of employment and pay rolls in the manufacturing, public utility, hotel, wholesale trade, retail trade, bituminous-coal mining, crude-petroleum producing, quarry ing and nonmetallic mining, metalliferous mining, laundry, and dyeing and cleaning groups is presented. In this State compilation, the totals of the telephone and telegraph, power and light, and electric-railroad operation groups have been combined and are presented as one group— public utilities. Due to the extreme seasonal fluctu ations in the canning and preserving industry, and the fact that during certain months the activity in this industry in a number of States is negligible, data for this industry are not presented separately. The number of employees and the amount of weekly pay roll in March and April 1933 as reported by identical establishments in this industry are included, however, in the combined total of “ All groups.” The percents of change shown in the accompanying table, unless otherwise noted, are unweighted percents of change; that is, the industries included in the groups, and the groups comprising the total of all groups, have not been weighted according to their relative importance in the combined totals. As the anthracite-mining industry is confined entirely to the State of Pennsylvania, the changes reported in this industry in table 1, nonmanufacturing industries, are the fluctuations in this industry by State totals. When the identity of any reporting company would be disclosed by the publication of a State total for any industrial group, figures for the group do not appear in the separate industrial-group tabulation, but are included in the State totals for “ All groups.” Data are not presented for any industrial group when the representation in the State covers less than three establishments.

These changes are computed from reports received from identical establishments in each of the months considered. In addition to including reports received from establishments in the several industrial groups regularly covered in the Bureau’s survey, excluding building construction, reports have also been secured from other establishments in these cities for inclusion in these totals. Information concerning employment in building construction is not available for all cities at this time and therefore has not been included.

Comparing April 1933 with March 1933 there was an increase of 1,742. These figures do not include the legislative, judicial, or Army and Navy services. The information as shown in the table was compiled by the various Federal departments and offices and sent to the United States Civil Service Commission, where it was assembled. The data was tabulated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and published here by courtesy of the Civil Service Commission and in compliance with the direction of Congress. No information has as yet been collected relative to amounts of pay rolls. Information is presented for the District of Columbia, for the Government service outside of the District of Columbia, and for the service as a whole. Approximately 12 percent of the total number of Federal employees are employed in the District of Columbia. Comparing April 1933 with April 1932, there was a decrease of 4.0 percent in the number of permanent employees in the District of Columbia. Temporary employees increased 9.4 percent during this period. This increase T 30 was due to the creation of a number of independent bureaus and estab lishments— such as the Crop Production Loan Office, etc., since April 1932. There was a decrease of 2,323, or 3.3 percent in the total number of Government employees in the District of Columbia. Comparing April 1933 with March 1933, there was a decrease of three tenths of 1 percent in the number of permanent employees and a decrease of 7.4 percent in the number of temporary employees in the District of Columbia. The number of permanent employees outside of the District of Columbia decreased 0.2 percent and the number of temporary em ployees outside of the District increased 10.8 percent.

Thus, in the District of Columbia, 68 mail contractors and special-delivery messengers were eliminated in M a y 1932, and in the Service out side the District of Columbia, 835 collaborators were eliminated from Department of Agriculture in June 1932. In the table, in order to make the figures comparable for the months shown, it was assumed the number of these employees was the same in 1932 as they were in the month they were dropped (actual figures not being available from the Civil Service Commission), and the data for this month has been revised accordingly in this table. 3 N ot including the field service of the Post Office Department. Employment on Class I Steam Railroads in the United States ATA are not yet available concerning railroad employment for April 1933. Reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission for class I railroads show that the number of employees (exclusive of executives and officials) decreased from 929,054 on February 15, 1933, to 907,472 on March 15, 1933, or 2.3 percent; the amount of pay roll increased from $101,507,304 in February to $105,371,091 in March, or 3.8 percent. The monthly trend of employment from January 1923 to March 1933 on class I railroads— that is, all roads having operating revenues of $1,000,000 or over— is shown by index numbers published in the following table. These index numbers are constructed from monthly reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission, using the 12-month average for 1926 as 100.
