Employment in Selected Manufacturing Industries in
January, 1933
Comparison of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in January, 1933, with
December, 1932, and January, 1932
M PLOYM ENT in manufacturing industries decreased 2.9 per
cent in January, 1933, as compared with December, 1932, and
pay-roll totals decreased 5 per cent over the month interval. Com
paring January, 1933, with January, 1932, decreases of 12.7 per cent
in employment and 26.3 per cent in pay rolls are shown over the
12-month period.
The per cents of change in employment and pay-roll totals in
January, 1933, as compared with December, 1932, are based on returns
made by 17,762 establishments in 89 of the principal manufacturing
industries in the United States, having in January 2,557,837 em
ployees, whose combined earnings in one week were $42,657,894.
The index of employment in January, 1933, was 56.6, as compared
-with 58.3 in December, 1932, 59.4 in November, 1932, and 64.8 in
E
3
January, 1932; the pay-roll index in January, 1933, was 35.8 as com
pared with 37.7 in December, 1932, 38.6 in November, 1932, and
48.6 in January, 1932. The 12-month average for 1926 equals 100.
In Table 1, which follows, are shown the number of identical
establishments reporting in both December, 1932, and January, 1933,
in the 89 manufacturing industries, together with the total number of
employees on the pay rolls of these establishments during the pay
period ending nearest January 15, the amount of their weekly earnings
in January, the per cents of change over the month and year inter
vals, and the indexes of employment and pay roll in January, 1933.
The monthly per cents 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 two months considered. The per cents 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 per cents 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.

Time Worked in Manufacturing Industries in January, 1933
R e p o r t s as to working time in January were received from 13,408
establishments in 89 manufacturing industries. Four per cent of
these establishments were idle, 43 per cent operated on a full-time
basis, and 53 per cent worked on a part-time schedule.
An average of 84 per cent of full-time operation in January was
shown by reports received from all the operating establishments
included in Table 4. The establishments working part time in
January averaged 72 per cent 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
ing full time, the work in the establishment was being shared and
the employees were not working the full-time hours operated by the
plant. Such establishments have been classified under full-time
establishments in the following tabulation. The heading of the
column concerning full-time plants has therefore been changed to
read “ Per cent of establishments operating full time” instead of
“ Per cent of establishments in which employees worked full time.”

Indexes of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals for Nonmanufacturing Industries
I n d e x numbers of employment and pay-roll totals for 14 nonman
ufacturing industries are presented in the following tabie. The index
numbers show the variation in employment and pay rolls in these
groups, by months, from January, 1929, to January, 1933, with the
exception of laundries and the dyeing and cleaning groups, for which
information over the entire period is not available. The bureau
recently secured data concerning employment and pay rolls for the
index base year 1929 from establishments in the laundries and the
dyeing and cleaning groups, and has computed index numbers for
these two groups, which now appear in this tabulation. The monthly
collection of trend-of-employment statistics in these two groups did
not begin until the later months of 1930 and, therefore, indexes for
each month of the entire period are not available.

Average Man-Hours Worked and Average Hourly Earnings
I N THE following tables the bureau presents a tabulation of man-
hours worked per week and average hourly earnings, based on
reports supplied by identical establishments in December, 1932, and
January, 1933, in 15 industrial groups and 73 manufacturing indus
tries. Man-hour data for the building construction group and for
the insurance, 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 ade
quate information.
160364—33------3
1 6
The total number of establishments supplying man-hour data in
these 15 industrial groups represents approximately 50 per cent 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
averages, wherein the average man-hours and average hourly earn
ings 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 industrial groups.
In presenting information for the separate manufacturing indus
tries, shown in Table 2, data are published for only those industries
in which the available man-hour information covers 20 per cent 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 manufacturing 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 to the per capita weekly
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 per cent of the establishments report
ing monthly employment data.

Employment in the Executive Civil Service of the United States,
January, 1933
HE Federal pay rolls in the United States showed 9,419 fewer
names in January, 1933, than in January, 1932. Comparing
January, 1933, with December, 1932, there was a loss of 942.
These figures do not include the legislative, judicial, or Army and
Navy services. The data as shown in the table below are compiled
by the various Federal departments and offices and sent to the United
States Civil Service Commission, where they are assembled. They
are tabulated by the United States 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 the amounts of pay rolls. Because of
the importance of Washington as a Government center, the figures
for the District of Columbia, and for the Government service outside
of the District of Columbia, are shown separately.
The number of employees in the District of Columbia showed a
decrease of 4.1 per cent in January, 1933, as compared with January,
1932. The number of permanent employees in the District of Colum
bia decreased 2.9 per cent, while the number of temporary employees
decreased 26 per cent, comparing January, 1933, with January, 1932.
There was an increase of eight-tenths of 1 per cent in the total number
of Federal employees in the District of Columbia, comparing January,
1933, with December, 1932. This increase was caused by taking on
in the Department of Agriculture of 581 employees (net) in the new
crop-production loan office.

1 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 from the enumeration in M ay, 1932, and in
the service outside the District of Columbia 35,800 star route and other contractors, clerks in charge of
mail-contract stations, clerks in third-class post offices, and special-delivery messengers were eliminated
in April, 1932, and 835 collaborators of the Department of Agriculture, in June, 1932. In the table, in
order to make the figures comparable for the months shown, it was assumed that the number of these
employees was the same in 1931, as in the month they were dropped from the tabulation (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
January, 1933. Reports of the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion for Class I railroads show that the number of employees (exclusive
of executives and officials) decreased from 1,000,119 on November 15,
1932, to 980,501 on December 15, 1932, or 2.0 per cent; the amount
of pay roll decreased from $114,581,486 in November to $114,284,718
in December, or 0.3 per cent.
The monthly trend of employment from January, 1923, to Decem
ber, 1932, on Class I railroads— that is, all roads having operating
revenues of $1,000,000 or over—is shown by the index numbers pub
lished 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.

Trend of Employment in January, 1933, by States
I N THE following table are shown the fluctuations in employment
and pay-roll totals in January, 1933, as compared with December,
1932, 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, quarrying
and nonmetallic mining, metalliferous mining, laundries, and dyeing
and cleaning groups is presented. In this State compilation, the
totals of the telephone and telegraph, power and light, and electricrailroad 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 cer
tain 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 December,
22
1932, and January, 1933, as reported by identical establishments in
this industry are included, however, in the combined total of “ All
groups.”
The per cents of change shown in the accompanying tables, unless
otherwise noted, are unweighted per cents of change; that is, the in
dustries included in the groups, and the groups comprising the total of
all groups, have not been weighted according to their relative impor
tance in the combined totals.
As the anthracite-mining industry is confined entirely to the State
of Pennsylvania, the changes reported in this industry in the summary
table are the fluctuations in this industry by State totals.
When the identity of any reporting company would be disclosed b y
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 pre
sented for any industrial group when the representation in the State
covers less than three establishments.
