TREND OF EMPLOYMENT
April 1933
HE Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department
of Labor presents in the following tables data compiled from pay­
roll reports supplied by cooperating establishments in 17 of the im­
portant industrial groups of the country and covering the pay period
ending nearest the 15th of the month.
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.

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.

Per Capita Earnings in Manufacturing Industries
P e r capita weekly earnings in April 1933 for each of the 89 manu­
facturing industries surveyed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and
for all industries combined, together with the percents of change in
April 1933 as compared with March 1933 and April 1932, are shown
in table 2.
These earnings must not be confused with full-time weekly rates
of wages. They are per capita weekly earnings, computed by dividing
the total amount of pay roll for the week by the total number of
employees (part-time as well as full-time workers).

Time Worked in Manufacturing Industries in April 1933
R e p o r t s as to working time in April were received from 13,719
establishments in 89 manufacturing industries. Three percent of
these establishments were idle, 47 percent operated on a full-time
basis, and 50 percent worked on a part-time schedule.
An average of 86 percent of full-time operation in April was shown
by reports received from all the operating establishments included in
table 4. The establishments working part time in April averaged 73
percent of full-time operation.
A number of establishments supplying data concerning plantoperating time have reported full-time operations, but have qualified
the hours reported with a statement that, while the plant was operat­

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.”

Per capita weekly earnings in April 1933 for 15 nonmanufacturing
industries included in the Bureau’s monthly trend-of-employment
survey, together with the percents of change in April 1933 as com­
pared with March 1933 and April 1932, are given in the table follow­
ing. These per capita weekly earnings must not be confused with
full-time weekly rates of wages; they are per capita weekly earnings,
computed by dividing the total amount of pay roll for the week by
the total number of employees (part-time as well as full-time
workers).

Indexes of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals for Nonmanufacturing Industries
I n d e x numbers of employment and pay-roll totals for 15 nonmanufacturing industries are presented in the following table. These
index numbers show the variation in employment and pay rolls by
months, from January 1930 to April 1933, in all nonmanufacturing
industries with the exception of the laundry, dyeing and cleaning,
and the banks, brokerage, insurance, and real-estate industries, for
which information over the entire period is not available. The Bureau
has secured data concerning employment and pay rolls for the index
base year 1929 from establishments in these three industries, and
has computed index numbers for those months for which data are
available from the Bureau’s files. These indexes are shown in this
tabulation.

Average Man-Hours Worked and Average Hourly Earnings
N THE following tables the Bureau presents a tabulation of manhours worked per week and average hourly earnings, based on
reports supplied by identical establishments in March and April 1933,
in 15 industrial groups and 74 separate manufacturing industries.
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.

Per capita weekly earnings, computed by multiplying the average
man-hours worked per week by the average hourly earnings shown in
the following table, are not identical with the per capita weeldy
earnings appearing elsewhere in this trend-of-employment compila­
tion, which are obtained by dividing the total weekly earnings in all
establishments reporting by the total number of employees in those
establishments. As already noted, the basic information upon which
the average weekly man-hours and average hourly earnings are com­
puted covers approximately 50 percent of the establishments report­
ing monthly employment data.

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.

Employment and Pay Rolls in April 1933 in Cities of Over
500,000 Population

I N THE following table are presented the fluctuations in employ­

ment and pay-roll totals in April 1933 as compared with March
1933 in 13 cities of the United States having a population of 500,000
or over. 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.

1 Certain revisions have been made from time to time b y the Civil Service Commission in dropping
certain classes of employees, previously carried in the tabulations. 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.

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.

No changes in wage rates were reported in the anthracite mining
and dyeing and cleaning groups. Decreases in wage rates were re­
ported in the remaining 13 industries and increases were reported in
2 industries over the month interval. The average percents of de­
crease in rates reported in each of the several groups were as follows:
Laundries, 9.6 percent; electric-railroad and motor-bus operation and
power and light, 9.7 percent each; telephone and telegraph, 10 per­
cent; crude-petroleum producing, and banks, brokerage, insurance,
and real estate, 11.7 percent each; quarrying and nonmetallic mining,
12.4 percent; wholesale trade, 12.6 percent; bituminous coal mining
and retail trade, 15.4 percent each; hotels, 15.7 percent; metalliferous
mining, 18.9 percent; and canning and preserving, 23.9 percent.
