TALBERT, Chief UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE W A SH IN G T O N : 2933 TREND OF EMPLOYMENT August 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 important industrial groups of the country and covering the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. Information for 89 of the principal manufacturing industries of the country is shown, following which are presented tabulations showing the changes in employment and pay rolls in the 16 nonmanufacturing industries included in the Bureau's monthly survey, together with information available concerning employment in the executive civil service and on class I railroads. T Employment in Selected Manufacturing Industries in August 1933 Comparison of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in August 1933 with July 1933 and August 1932 M PLOYM EN T in manufacturing industries increased 6.4 per cent and pay rolls increased 11.6 per- cent between July and August 1933, according to reports received from representative estab lishments in 89 important manufacturing industries of the country. A comparison of the index of employment in August 1933 with the employment index of August 1932 shows a gain of 27.9 percent over the year interval, while a similar comparison of pay-roll indexes indicates an increase of 43 percent. The index of employment in August 1933 was 71.6 as compared with 67.3 in July 1933, 62.8 in June 1933, and 56.0 in August 1932; the pay-roll index in August 1933 was 51.9 as compared with 46.5 in July 1933, 43.1 in June 1933, and 36.3 in August 1932. The 12-month average for 1926 equals 100. These changes in employment and pay rolls in August 1933 are based on reports supplied by 18,008 establishments in 89 of the prin cipal manufacturing industries of the United States. These estab lishments reported 3,187,674 employees on their weekly pay rolls during the pay period ending nearest August 15 whose combined weekly earnings were $60,351,490. The employment reports received from these cooperating establishments cover approximately 50 percent of the total number of wage earners in all manufacturing industries of the country. August is the fifth consecutive month in which increases in factory employment and pay rolls have been reported. The increases in employment during the preceding 4 months were widespread. The E (1 ) 2 number of industries reporting increased employment in August exceeded that of previous months, 81 of the 89 industries surveyed showing increased employment over the month interval. Increased pajr rolls in August, as compared with July, were shown in 83 of the 89 industries. Employment and pay rolls ordinarily show but little change between July and August, the average percentage of increase in employment between July and August during the past 10 years having been 0.2 percent and in pay rolls 1.5 percent. These increases therefore of 6.4 percent in employment and 11.6 percent in pay rolls in August of the present year are of unusual proportion and are due largely to the adoption of the N.R.A. codes by numerous cooperating establishments. The increase in employment in August combined with the increases reported from March to July represent a return to employment of nearly 1,500,000 factory workers over the 5-month interval. The increase in pay-roll totals in August combined with the estimated, increase in weekly pay rolls between March and July represents an increase of more than $40,000,000 disbursed in weekly pay envelops of factory employees in August over the total weekly pay rolls dis bursed in March. The August employment index stands at 29.9 percent above the level of March 1933. The August pay-roll index shows gain of 55.4 percent over the index of March. Employment in August 1933 reached the highest point recorded in over 2 years, the August index being but slightly lower than the index recorded in July 1931. The continued increases in pay rolls during the last 5 months have pushed the August pay-roll index up to the highest point reached since December 1931. Each of the 14 groups of manufacturing industries reported gains in employment and earnings over the month interval, the nonferrous metals group reporting the greatest increase, 12.4 percent, due to consistently large gains In number of workers in each of the 8 indus tries comprising this group. The increase of 11.2 percent in the rubber products group was due to pronounced gains in employment in the rubber boot and shoe and the rubber-goods industries, com bined with a smaller percentage gain in the automobile-tire industry. The machinery group reported a gain of 10.6 percent in employment over the month interval, the foundry and machine shop, machine tool, radio, textile machinery, and typewriter industries reporting the most pronounced gains in this group. The iron and steel group reported a gain of 10.5 percent in employment in August, as com pared with July, and an increase of 20.9 percent in pay rolls, which was the most pronounced gain in pay rolls shown in any of the 14 groups of manufacturing industries. Each of the 13 separate industries com prising this group reported gains in employment with the exception of the plumbers’ supplies industry in which a decline of 1 percent was reported. The most pronounced gains in the separate industries in this group were in the iron and steel forgings, iron and steel industry, stoves, cutlery, and tool industries. The lumber group reported a gain of 8.2 percent in employment, furniture and sawmills reporting the most pronounced gains. The chemical group reported an increase of 7.7 percent, the cottonseed oil-cake-meal industry in this group reporting an increase of 19.1 percent, and the rayon and chemicals industries also reporting gains of over 10 percent in employment. The stone-clay-glass group reported an increase of 7.3 percent in 3 employment, each of the 5 industries in this group reporting sub stantial gains. Employment in the food group increased 6.7 per cent between July and August, the beet-sugar industry reporting the largest percentage gains shown in any of the 89 industries surveyed, a seasonal increase of 55.2 percent. The confectionery industry re ported an increase of 20.9 percent in number of employees coupled with an increase of 33.1 percent in pay rolls. Two industries in the food group reported decreased employment, namely beverages and flour. In the beverage industry, the decrease was due partly to a seasonal decline in soft-drink-manufacturing establishments and partly to decreases in employment reported in a number of breweries which stated a more regular production schedule had been established. The paper and printing group reported a gain of 5.3 percent in em ployment and the transportation group reported a gain of 5.2 percent, the automobile industry in the last-named group reporting an increase of 4.3 percent in employment with much larger gains being shown in the shipbuilding, electric- and steam-car building, and locomotive industries. The railroad repair shop group reported a gain of 4.8 per cent, steam railroad repair shops reporting a substantial increase and electric railroad repair shops reporting a slight decline in employment between July and August. The leather group reported a gain of 3.9 percent, the tobacco group reported an increase of 3.1 percent, and the textile group reported a gain of 2.8 percent in employment over the month interval. This gain in employment in the textile group was coupled with an increase of 15.1 percent in pay rolls, the adoption of the various industry codes prescribing a minimum wage accounting largely for this more pronounced gain in pay-roll totals than in employment. Only*8 industries failed to show improved employment conditions over the year interval. The most pronounced gains in employment between August 1932 and August 1933 were reported in the beverage and rayon industries, in which increases of 117.9 and 102.9 percent, respectively, were shown. Other unusually large percentage gains in employment were reported in numerous industries, the more important of which were radios, 71.5 percent; cotton goods, 69.1 percent; woolen and worsted goods, 54.3 percent; iron and steel, 50.6 percent; glass, 46.7 percent; leather, 41.6 percent; steam fittings, 40.8 percent; chemicals, 39.7 percent; silk and rayon goods, 37.6 percent; machine tools, 36.7 percent; furniture, 34.6 percent; foundries, 31.8 percent; and sawmills, 31.6 percent. The automobile industry showed an increase of 19.8 percent in employment over the year interval coupled with a gain of 60.7 percent in pay-roll totals. In table 1, which follows, are shown the number of identical estab lishments reporting in both July and August 1933 in the 89 manufac turing industries, together with the total number of employees on the pay rolls of these establishments during the pay period ending nearest August 15, the amount of their earnings for 1 week in August, the percents of change over the month and year intervals, and the indexes of employment and pay roll in August 1933. The monthly percents of change for each of the 89 separate indus tries are computed by direct comparison of the total number of em ployees 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 4 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.

An average of 92 per cent of full-time operation in August was shown by reports received from all the operating establishments included in table 4. The establishments working part time in August averaged 76 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 the statement that, while the plant was operating full time, the work in the establishment was being shared and the employees were not working the full-time hours operated by the plant. 10 MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES.

Employment in Nonmanufacturing Industries in August 1933 M PLO YM ENT increased in August as compared with July 1933 in 14 of the 15 nonmanufacturing industries appearing in the following table. The only exception was the telephone and telegraph group in which slight declines in both employment and pay rolls were reported. Data for the building-construction industry are not presented here but are shown in more detail under the section “ Building construction.” E 14 Seasonal activity in the canning and preserving industry was reflected in the gain of 47.1 percent in employment and 47.9 percent in pay rolls in August. The metalliferous-mining industry reported an increase of 11.5 percent in employment, combined with an increase of 15.4 percent in pay rolls. The anthracite mining and bituminouscoal mining industries reported gains in employment of 8.8 percent and 8.6 percent, respectively. These increases in employment were accompanied by increases of 22 percent in pay rolls in anthracite mining and 28.8 percent in bituminous-coal mining. Both industries reported increases in average hours worked per week in August, as well as increased hourly earnings. The retail-trade group which has shown decreased employment and pay roll in previous August reports, increased 4.7 percent in employment and 7.9 percent in pay rolls, numerous establishments reporting better business, special sales, and the effect of the N.R.A. code. The quarrying and nonmetallicmining industry reported increases of 4.2 percent in employment and 5.1 percent in pay rolls, and the wholesale-trade group reported increases of 3.7 percent in employment and 2.8 percent in pay rolls. The laundry and the crude-petroleum-producing industries reported gains in employment of 2.1 percent each. The hotel industry reported a gain of 2 percent in number of employees between July and August, and the power and light, electric railroad, dyeing and cleaning, and banksbrokerage-insurance-real estate groups reported increases in employ ment of less than 1 percent. The increases in employment in the two last-named groups were coupled with slight declines in pay-roll totals. In the following table are presented employment and pay-roll data for the nonmanufacturing industries surveyed, exclusive of 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 U G U S T 1933 W IT H J U L Y 1933 A N D A U G U S T 1932 T a b le Industrial groups Employment Estab lish Percent of ments change report ing in N um ber Au both on pay gust July roll, A u July 1932 and gust 1933 to A u to gust A u Au 1933 gust gust 1933 1933 Coal mining: 158 Anthracite______________ 1,503 B itum inous. .................... 281 Metalliferous m ining_______ Quarrying and nonmetallic m ining_____ ______________ 1,142 245 Crude-petroleum producing.

Man-hour data for the building-construction group and for the insur ance, real estate, banking, and brokerage group 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 week 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.

The percents of change of employment and pay-roll totals in August as compared with July are based on returns made by 10,765 firms employing in August 86,771 workers in the various trades in the building-construction industry and whose combined weekly earnings during the pay period ending nearest August 15 were $1,846,650. These reports cover building operations in various localities in 34 States and the District of Columbia.

Trend of Employment in August 1933, by States N THE following table are shown the fluctuations in employment and pay-roll totals in August 1933 as compared with July 1933, in certain industrial groups by States. These tabulations have been prepared from data secured directly from reporting establishments 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 sepa rate tabulation by city and State totals. In addition to the com bined 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, quarrying 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 fluctuations 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 July and August 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.

Temporary employees in the Federal city increased 34.1 percent. There was an increase of 2.5 percent in the total number of Government workers in Washington. Comparing August 1933 with August 1932 there was a decrease of 3.3 percent in the number of permanent employees in the District. However, due to the creation of a large number of new Government agencies, temporary employees in the District increased 104.3 percent comparing August 1933 with August 1932. Due to this large increase in temporary workers, the total Federal employment in Washington was seven tenths of 1 percent greater during August 1933 than during the same month of the previous year. August is the first month to include figures for the National Re covery Administration. This agency had 1,077 employees on its pay roll on August 31, 1933. Outside of the District of Columbia, the number of permanent employees decreased 3.1 percent. The number of temporary employ ees decreased 12.8 percent, comparing August 1933 with August 1932. Comparing August 1933 with July 1933, there was a decrease of 0.6 percent in the number of permanent employees, an increase of 14.3 percent in the number of temporary employees, and an increase of 0.2 percent in the total Federal employment.

The volume of employment of all units of the Emergency Con servation Work decreased approximately 14,000 comparing August with July. The pay of the enlisted personnel is $30 per month, except that 5 percent of the personnel of each company are paid $45 a month and an additional 8 percent are paid $36 per month. The pay rolls for this branch of the service are figured on this basis. Amounts paid to reserve officers, line and medical, are not available at the present time. Employment on Class I Steam Railroads in the United States EPORTS of the Interstate Commerce Commission for class I railroads show that the number of employees (exclusive of ex ecutives and officials) increased from 976,610 on July 15, 1933, to 1,002,768 on August 15, 1933, or 2.7 percent.

Increases in wage rates averaging 24.3 percent and affecting 1,145,576 employees were reported by 3,776 manufacturing establishments in August. These increases reflect the adoption of the various indus try codes or the acceptance of the blanket code in certain industries, and, in other industries, represent a partial restoration of previous reductions in wage rates, due to the general business improvement. Of the 18,008 manufacturing establishments included in the August survey, 14,230 establishments, or 79 percent of the total, reported no change in wage rates over the month interval. The 2,041,953 em ployees not affected by changes in wage rates constituted 64.1 per cent of the total number of employees covered by the August trend of employment survey of manufacturing industries. Only two manufacturing establishments reported wage-rate de creases.
