SEPTEMBER 1951
Employment in nonfarra establishments rose by 180,000
between mid-August and mid-September, contrasting with
an average August-September gain of nearly a half mil
lion during the past five years, according to prelimi
nary estimates of the U. S. Department of Labor»s Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Defense-related industries continued to add workers, and employnent increased
seasonally in retail stores and public school-sy'steas. However, many con
sumer goods industries reported employment reductions over the month, instead
of the gains usually recorded at t’dn time of year,. and employment in contr.nct
construction declined slightly. (See Tables 1 mid 2,)
NOHFAKM EMPLOYMENT
RECORDS LESS-TICANUSUAL AUG-3SPT GAIN
The' number, of employees in-nonfam establishments, despite the loss-than sea?sonial gain over the month, was at an all-time peak of 46.9 million in Septem
ber, anil nearly 1*2 million higher than a year earlier, With unemployment
in September about 300,000 below the previous postwar low for the month,
according to Census Bureau estimates, the overall employment «ituation con
tinued favorable in tho Nation as a whole.
SOFT-GOODS FALL
TO POSTWAR LOW
Over the month, employment, in nondurable goods manufncturing declined by about 4-0,000, in contrast to
an average ^.ugust-September increase of 100,000 in
recent yo&jps. This resulted largely from contrasonsonal employment reduc
tions in tho textile, apparel, and leather industries, where a slackening
in consumor demand since early Spring has led to doeroasod output. Employ
ment this September in these throe industry groups, taken together, was
230,000, or ft percent, below tho high levels of a year carliur, and the
lowest for the month since 1945.
Employment in durable goods manufacturing rose slightly o\ror tho month, and,
at almost 9 million thin September, was a half Trillion higher than in Sep
tember 1950. In industries related to tho defense production program, such
as aircraft, metalworking machinery, instruments, and shipbuilding, employ
ers continued to expand their workforce. In most of tho consumor durable
goods industries, employment ronrdnod below tho levels of a year ago, as a
result of curtailed metals supplies and docroasod demand for many consumer
products sinco tho Spring of 1951.

SiSMMJiisg
However, the downtrend in employment in certain eonsuiaor
durable goods industi’ies vas chocked in September, indicat
ing that a growing volume of defense- work may. have offset
cutbacks in tho output of civilian goods. Eiaployinent in automobile plants
increased slightly between August and September, the first over-the-month
gain recorded since 'March of this yecr. On the other.hand,.plants making
jewelry, silverware, and electrical appliances reported continued employment
reductions•
Employment in contract construction dcclinec’ by /'bout 90,000 between August
and September, reflecting metals shortages and.restrictions on housing and
commercial construction. Although this was a considerably greater Augustto-Septomber reduction than in any previous postwar year, contract construc
tion employment - at 2,7 million - vras still at an all-time high for tho
season as expenditures for now industrial'and military facilities continued
to increase,
GOVT EMPIiOTMSNT UP Etaploysoant in State and local governments increased by
AS SCHOOLS REOPEN about 14-0,000 between August'and September, vith the
reopening of schools at the end of the Summer vacation
period. The number of workers on Federal payrolls rose only slightly over
the month, as increased civilian oraploj’iacnt in Federal defense activities,
such as naval yards and military bases, off set a small employment doclino
in nondefenso agencies. The Augur,t-to-Septcmber gain of 10,000 in Federal
defense employment was loss than one-third tho average monthly increase
since the outbreak of the Korean War*

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

V O L U M E O N H O U R S A N D EARNiNCS
FOR STATES A N D AREAS
J U S T RELEASED
NEW ANNUAL
PUBLICATION
The third release in the Bureau of Labor Statistics'
series on State and area data, entitled "Hours and
Earnings In Manufacturing by State and Area, 19^71950," ip now available for distribution. It follows the two earlier
volumes "Area Employment, 1950" and "Nohsgriculturul Employment by
State^ 19^0," descriptions of vhich con be found in the May 1951 and
July 1951 issues, respectively, of EMPLOYMENT AND PAYFOUS.
These publications comprise 3 of a series of p volumes under
the general title "Employment, Hours, and Earnings— State and Area
Data." The namos of the remaining volumes, to be released shortly,
are as follows: Manufacturing.Employment'by State and Summary VolumeState and Area Data. All five volumes', containing data prepared by
State agencies cooperating with the Bureau of Labor Statistics, will
be prepared annually.
SCOPE OF
THE DATA
The 1950 volume on "Hours and Earnings in Manufacturlng by State and Area" .includes monthly data on
hours and earnings for 40 States and 66 metropolitan
areas. The States for which data were not available at the time -this
publication Vent to press included Colorado; Illinois, Maryland,
Montana, Nevada, Ohio, West'Virginia, arid the District of Columbia.
Also included in the current volume are all the hours and earnings
series prepared'by States and areas since 19^7. Statistics collected
prior to 19^9* .however, have a more limited coverage; fewer than 25
States and 30 areas contributed on a regular monthly basis up to that
time.
Hours and earnings data for llU basic areas will be included
in future publications. Population in these areas comprises half the
total population of the United'States. Each State is scheduled to
participate by preparing estimates for at least one area. Fourteen
States will contribute data on throe or more areas. Information for
several areas is compiled by State agencies in addition to.the basic
groupi, and this number pay expand as the program advances.
DATA SERVE
MANY tlSES*
Information on the hours and earnings of factory
workers is a basic indicator of the economic wellbe ins; of State' and local areas. Changes in munufacturing industries.,, one of the more dynamic 3events:of the economy,
have secondary effects on trends in trade, services, transportation,
and other industries and consequently are important as a'measure of
changes in tho community's welfare. Earnings in each locality are
not only an approximate measure of the worker's return for his labor,
—• 3 **
but also of tho amount he most likely vill spend on goods and services.
Information on enrninge in conjunction with consumer prices affords an
opportunity to measure changes in the purchasing power of the worker's
incorao.
These data ere, therefore, highly useful to business men and
merchants in analyzing markets, in setting sains quotas, and in
assessing areas for plnnt locations. Banks, universities, and fact*
finding organizations use data on factory hours and earnings in compil
ing local business indexes. State and local government officials make
use of such statistics in administering unemployment compensation
programs and in estimating income tax revenues. Information on State
and area earnings is important in the analysis of defense manpower
mobilization problems.
SUMMARY
OF FINDINGS
More workers were employed in the United States as a
whole in 1950 than in 19^9 and they worked substantially
longer hours. The workweek increased in virtually all
States and particularly in those where durable goods industries were
located, i'rom December 19^9 to December 1950, for example, the
New England, Middle Atlantic, and Great Lakes regions generally re
ported gains in excess of U percent. The South and South Central States
most typically averaged gains of approximately 2 percent.
Only four metropolitan areas of the 66 reporting--New York
City, San Diego, Calif., Johnstown, P-i., and Manchester, N.H.—
reported workweeks in 1950 which, on the average, indicated little or
no overtime work (fewer than 36 hours weekly). Many areas, on the
other hand, Indicated average scheduled overtime of k hours weekly
for the year (average workweek of at least ^2 hours).
While average factory hourly oamings rose steadily during
1950, there was considerable diversity of movement among the States.
Weekly earnings reached an all-time high of $63.88 in December 1950;
almost every State in the Pacific, .Great Lakes and Mountain regions
exceeded the national average while the reverse was generally true
in the New England, South Atlantic and South Central regions.

61TU AMNOUS COAL M INING
The Nation's bituminous coal mines reported employment of
372>000 in August 19>1> a alight seasonal gain over July when many
miners wero on vacation. However, tho August 1951 employment was
about’36,000 below the level of a year earlier and almost 50,000
below August 19^9 • This decline represents a continuation of a long
term downward trend in coal mining employment.. Conl production in
1951 Id at' about' the same level as in 1925, but employment has de
clined by ebdut £1*7,000 between these years because or rising labor
productivity, extensive use of machinery, and a gradual shift to
open-pit mining which requires fewer workers per ton mined. Soft
coal production in 1952 is expected to be slightly higher than in
1951 and there probably will be little change in employment.
ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES AND L A M P S •
Employment in plants manufacturing electrical appliances,
lamps, and miscellaneous electrical products has been gradually de
clining since the beginning 6f 1951* Production-worker employment
dropped from 125,^00 at the beginning of the yea)* to 118,900 in
August, a decrease of 5 percent. This recent downward trend has
partially canceled the employment gains reported between the start
of the military action in Korea and t!>o enfi.ef 1950 when productionworker employment roso i’rom 110,600 to 125,^00.
A period of continued declining umployaent is forecast for
the industry. The limitation of ooarco materials under the Controlled
Materials Program and reduced conuumer demand have combined to.lower
the employment and production levels. The current critical shortage
of scarce metals has resulted in a fourth quarter allocation to the
industry of about one-half the amount or metals consumed in the second
quarter of 1950. Despite reduced supplies of metals, the Industry has
experienced only slight doorcases in employment bocauce it has been
able to substitute less critical materials, utilize inventories of
materials on hand, and partially convert to military production. It
Is expected, however, that sharper declines in employment will occur
during the coming months.
* This Industry includes plants tanking small appliances, such as
toasters and mixers, electric light bulbs and a variety of ether
electrical products Including batteries and x-ray equipment. The
production of refrigerators, home washing machines and certain
other devices often termed applinncos, Is excluded.

PRINTING A N D P U B LIS H IN G '
Printing, publishing, and allied Industries reported 511,000
production workers for August 1951> on Increase of 3>000 from the pre
vious month. Beginning In August 1950 vhen 50^,000 workers were re
ported, eraploymout increased steadily, in response to the favorable
business situation, to ft high of 518,000 In December 1950. It dropped
to 510,000 in January 1951 and since then has not varied by more than
2,000 from this figure.
Employment is expected to rise slightly in the months ahead
because of a growing volume of advertising. The. recent slowing down
of consumer purchases in many lines has induced many manufacturers
and retailers to invest more heavily in advertising and sales promotion,
and the advertising industry expects total expenditures in 1951 to
exceed those of record-breaking 1950.
IR O N A N D STEEL FORGINGS
Employment in independent ferrous forge shops has been ris
ing steadily since late 19^9* Since June 1950 the work force has
Increased by 6,000 production workers. In August 1951 nearly 35,000
production workers were turning out crankshafts, connecting rods,
drive shafts, locomotive wheels, and other parts requiring great
strength and toughness.
Employment will continue to rise »nd is expected to exceed
the World War II peak level of Ufj,000 production workers. Expanded
production of railroad equipment, aircraft, ships, and ordnance will
result in greatly increased requirements for forgings. During World
War II, the average workweek rose to U9.2 hours. In the current
mobilization period, however, the workweek is not expected to approach
this length.

INDUSTRY EMPLOYMENT REPORTS
AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY AND TRACTORS
Defense conversion will aid in
holding employment at high levels
During the first 7 months of 1951, emjployment in the agricultural
machinery and tractor industry was maintained at postwar peak levels* Pro
duction-vorker employment of 151,000 in. July 1951 was only slightly'below the
all-time peak established in Maroh 1948--more than 65 percent greater*than the
highest employment reached before Vorld War II. In August 1951* employment
dropped to 129,900 as the result of a strike in a major tractor-producing plant.
Employment is expected to continue at the mid-1951 level over the coming year.
Declining- employment on regular agricultural machinery products will be offset
by increasing employment on military products.
About half of the workers in the Industry are employed In the approxi
mately 90 plants whose principal product is tractors. The other 1,600 plants in
the industry make a variety of farm equipment, such as plows, harrows, movers,
harvesters, threshers, combines, binders, nnd milking machines.
World War II and Postwar Experience
The agricultural machinery and tractor industry has experienced rapid
growth in the past 10 years. It has been estimated that the amount of mechanical
power and machinery on farms doubled in the 19^0-1950 decade. This increase re
sulted from high farm income, and from farm labor shortages or the fear of such
shortages* This rapid mechanization has been an important f&ctor In the large
Increase in output per worker in agriculture during the past decade. Although
farm employment declined by over a million, over-ail farm production increased
more than 20 percent between 1939 end 19hr
j.
Employment in the agricultural machinery and tractor industry rose
slowly just prior to and in the early part of World War II. During the first
part ‘of the war, a large share of the industry's facilities was converted to the
production of military items. A change in policy in late 19^2 reversed the trend
back to the production of regular agricultural machinery products which had been
determined vital to the war-food program. Production-worker employment rose from
less than 90,000 in 19^2 to 125,000 in mid-19^, and remained at about this level
until the end of the war.

p - preliminary
After a temporary drop in employment in the immediate postwar' period,
there was a rapid and steady increase in employment and the volume of production.
This increase continued through 19 . The production of agricultural machinery
and tractors reached an all-time peak in 19u# when value of output was more
than three times the 19U0 level (table 2). Employment reached an all-time high
of 158,000 production workers in March 19^3. This was more than double the
number ih I9I4.O, After 3 years Of heavy postwar output and with net farm income
falling off after I9I48, employment in the industry declined somewhat in 19U9,

Recent Trends and Employment Outlook
The downward trend in employment was reversed beginning in 1950*
Eoployment rose slowly during that year aid the first half of 19Sl> except
for a temporary decline in the latter part of 19.bC resulting from labordisputes
in two large firms. Production-workor eiiiployinent in the fitfst 7 months of
195>1 was only slightly less than the hitfiest level ever attained by tho industry*
Indications are that employment in the industry in the coniine year
will remain near its present h:i#h level, A Nation-wide survey made by the
Ifiiitcd States Department, of Atfricultwe indicates that farmers will noed, in
1952 f 1$ percent ncre farm naoliinery and 20 percent more replacement parts
than they received in 19h9 in order to juve*! the food and fiber requirements
during the mobilization period. Despite the tixpectud htavy. demand for agri-.
cultural machinery and tractors to jaret food and fiber requirements> a cuthack
in.production is anticipated because of th^ limitations on .the use of steel
and other basic materials under the Controlled Materials Plan* Decreasing
employment as a result of cutbacks in the jsroduction of farm machinery and
tractors will be offset by ewploymunt of workers in the production of tanks>
guns, and other military poods for which tite industry already holds contracts*
Output of military ^toms by .the .industry is incr^r.sin^, but the large
expansion is not expected until wid-19!>2.

k ui ............... ...................
...... ■
Although there are farm machinery plants in .almost every state,
production is concentrated in the Great Lakes ar*c.a, Four states accounted for
- 1U -
two-thirds of the total value of shipment of farm machinery and tractors in
1950. Illinois, the largest producer, had one-third of the total shipments in
19!?0. Wisconsin, Iowa, and Michigan were the next largest producing states
and together provided another one-third of the total output. Other important
producing states include Indiana, Minnesota, Kentucky, Nov? York, Ohio, and
Pennsylvania,
Earnings in the Industry
Earnings in agricultural machinery and tractor plants compare
favorably with other manufacturing industries. In July 1951# production
workers in plants primarily engaged in making tractors earned, on the average,
$7l**09 for a workweek of 1*0*1* hours. Production workers in plants making
other farm machinery made #71*93 for a workweek of 1*1*1 hours* This compares
with an average of $6l*.56 for all manufacturing industries in the same month*
Average hourly earnings were fl.83 in tractor plants, $1*75 in other agri
cultural machinery plants, and $1.60 for all manufacturing industries (table 3)*

EXPLANATORY NOTES
S«etl«n A. Scope of the BLS Baploynent Series - The Bureau of Labor
Statistics publishes each month the number of employees In all nonagrlcultural estab
lishments end In ttie 8 major Industry divisions* mining* contract construction*
manufacturing* transportation and publle utilities* trade, flnanse* service, end
government, Both all-employee and produetlen-worker employment series are als« pre»
sented for Zl major manufacturing groups* over 100 separate manufacturing industries*
and the durable and nondurable goods subdivisions* Within nenRsnufaeturing, total
employment infenuation is published for- over 50 series, Production worker employment
is also presented for most of the industry components of the mining division.
Table 9 thorn produetlor.-wcrker data for 60 new industries. These series
are based on the levels of employment indicated by the 19*7 Census of Manufactures
and have been carried forward by use of the employment changes reported by the BLS
ninthly sample of cooperating establishments. These series are not eon»>arable with
the data shown In table 3 since the latter are adjusted to bench-mark levels India
•ated by soelal insurance agenoy data through 1947,
Hours and earnings information for manufacturing and selected
nonaenufaeturing industries are published monthly in the Hours and gamings Industry
Report and In the Monthly Labor Review.
Section B, Definition at Bmnlwraant • For privately operated
establishments in the nonagrleultural Industries the Bid employment information
covers all full* and part-time employees who were on the pay roll* i,e*« who worked
during, or reeelved pay for* the .pay period ending nearest the 15 th of the month.
For Federal establishments the employment period relates to the pay period ending
prior to the first of the month; in State and leoal governments* during the pay
period ending on or Just before the last of the smith. Proprietors* self-employed
persons* domestic servants* unpaid family workers* and members of the armed forces
are excluded from the employment Information,
Seetlon C, Comparability With Other Employment Data • The Bureau of Labor
Statistics employment series differ from the Monthly Report on the Labor Faroe in the
f®iiowing respeotst (1) The BLS series are based on reports from cooperating estst>»
llshments* while the MRLP is based on employment information obtained from household
interviews; {%) persons who worked in more than one establishment during the re*
porting period would be counted more than onee In the BLS series* but not in the
MRLPj (3) the BLS Information eovers all full* and part-time wage and salary workers
In private acnagrlcultural establishments who worked during* or reoelved pay for* the
pay period ending nearest the 15t& cf the month; In Federal establishments during the
pay period ending just before the first <rf the month; and in State and loeal govern*
ment during the pay period ending on or jus*- bei'ore the last of the month, while the
MBLF series relates to the calendar week Which contains the 8th day of the month; (4)
proprietors* self-employed, domestic servants* and unpaid family workers are excluded
from the BLS but not the MRLP SERIES.
Section D, Methodology - Changes in the level of employment are based on
reports from a sample group of establishments* lnasstueh as fall coverage is prohibit
tively costly and time-consuming, In using a sample* it is essential that a eamplete
eovnt or "fceneh mark." be established from vhich the series may be earried fcrw&rd.
Briefly* the BUS computes employment data as followst first*a bench mark or level
of employment Is determined; second* a sample of establishments is seleeted; arid
third* changes in employment indicated by this reporting sample are applied to the
bench mark to determine the monthly employment between bench-mark periods. An
• 1 •
Illustration of the estimation prooedure used In those Industries for which both all
employee and produotlon-worker employment information Is published followsi The
latest produotjon-worker employment bench mark for a given Industry was 50,000 in
January. According to the BLS reporting sample, 60 establishments In th*fc industry
employed 15*000 workers in January and 26,000 in February, an increase of 4 percent,
Tho February figure of 52,000 would be derived by applying the change for Identleal
establishments reported in the Jaouary-February sample to the bench mark*
50.000 x 26.000 .
.
_. . . .
2!MW (0r
" 52'°°°
The estimated all-employee level of 65,000 for February Is then determined by using
that month's sample ratio (.800 ) of production workers to total employment
■^*222 (t>r multiplied by 1 .25 ) ■ 65 ,000,
When a new benoh mark becomes, available, employment data prepared since the
last bench mark are reviewed to determine If any adjustment of level is required. In
general, the month-Uo-month changes In employment refleet the fluctuations shown by
establishments reporting to the BLS, while tho level of employment Is determined by
the bench mark.
The pay-roll Index Is obtalhftd by dividing the total weekly ply roll for a
given month by the average weekly pay roll In 1939. Aggregate weekly pay rolls for
all manufacturing Industries combined are derived by multiplying gross average weekly
earnings by produetlon-worker employment.
Section B, Sources of Sample Data - Approximately 143,000 eooperatlng
establishments furnlMi monthly employment and pay-roll schedules, by mallf to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. In addition, the Bureau makes use of data collected by
the Interstate Commerce Commission, -the Civil Service Commission* and the Bureau of
the Census.

Section P. 3ourc-*8 of BenciWfertt Data• «■ Honortn from Unemployment
Insurance Agencies presenting (1) e^pio/jaent in firms liable for contributions to
State unemployment compensation funds, and (2) '•adulations from the Bureau of Old*
Age and Survivors Insurance on Employment In firms exempt from State unemployment
Insurance lam because of their smrO.l sl’

data for nonfarm employment. Host: of the employment data in this report have been
a justed to levels i n d i e * b y these sourcc;* for 1J47. Special bench marks are usod
fox* industries not covered by the Social Security program. Beneh marks for State and
local government are baaed on data'compiled by the Bureau of the Census, while Infor
mation on Federal Government employiu>nt In made available by the U. S. Civil Service
Commission, The Interstate Commerce Commission is. the source for railroads.
Bench marks for productlon-trorfcer employment are not available on a regular
basis. The produetlon-vorkcr series are, therefore# derived by applying to allenployee beneh marks the ratio of production-vorker employment to total employment,
as determined from the Bureau's industry samples.
Section 0. Industrial Classification • In the PLS employment and hc-trs and
earnings series, reporting establishments are classified into significant economic:
groups on the basis of major postwar product or activity a3 determined from annual
sales data, The following references present the industry classification structure
currently used in the employment statistics program.
