Employment Trends
NONFARM EMPLOYMENT REACHES
48.8 MILLION IN DECEMBER
The number of employees 1st non
farm Industries rose to an all-time
high of 48.8 million in mid-December
1952, after a seasonal gain of over
800.000 from mid-November. The
Christmas season brought an increase
of more than a half million employ
ees in retail stores and of about
400.000 temporary workers in U. S.
post offices. These gains offset
seasonal reductions in construction
and other outdoor activities.
Nonfarm employment in December
was lip by 1.2 million from the level
of a year earlier, with two-thirds
of the increase reported in manufac
turing Industries. The y e a r .1952
saw recovery in consumer goods m a n u
facturing from the depressed levels
at the close of the previous year
and continued expansion, but at a
much slower rate than in 1951, in
military goods industries. Employ
ment in trade, Government, transpor
tation, and finance also increased
during the past year.
Manufacturing employment rose
slightly over the month, to 16.7 mil
lion, the highest level since World
War II. Aircraft, ordnance, and
electronics equipment plants con
tinued to report small gains in De
cember, but on the basis of present
military production schedules, em
ployment in these industries is now
close to its peak. In the past 2-l/Z
years, these industries, taken to
gether, have made a net addition of
over 700,000 workers, increasing their
employment to more than twice the preKorea level. Employment expansion in
the shipbuilding industry was halted
in mid-1952, following the post-Korea
employment gains of about 80 percent.
The machinery industry reported
an increase of 4-0,000 workers over
the month, primarily reflecting the
settlement of a major strike in agri
cultural machinery. December 1952
employment in the machinery group,
at 1.7 million, was about the same
as a year earlier. The rapid employ
ment uptrend which followed the out
break of the Korean war was halted in
1952, as new orders for man y types of
industrial equipment, including ma
chine tools, declined from the 1951
peak.
Consumer goods industries re
ported little employment change be
tween November and December, follow
ing a number of months of employment
gains accompanying an improved sales
and inventory situation. The recov
ery accounted for most of the overthe-year gain of three-quarters of a
million workers in manufacturing in
dustries.
Employment in contract construc
tion declined b y 170,000 over the
month as winter weather began to cur
tail building activity. At 2.4- mil
lion, employment was about 70,000
under last year's record high for De
cember, and about equal to the Decem
ber 1950 level;

With the addition of about 400,00C
temporary p o s ta l w orkers, F ed era l em

F ed era l employment has only r is e n by

More than a th ir d o f th e 7 0 0 ,0 0 0

Most o f th e q u a rte r m illio n wom

producing m ilit a r y goods— p a r tic u

September 1 9 5 0 , and in a i r c r a f t f a c

Other d e fe n s e -r e la te d industries^

accounted f o r most o f th e r ema in in g
in c r e a s e in th e employment o f women
in m anufactu ring. In c o n t r a s t , th e
number o f women workers in most con
sumer goods in d u s tr ie s showed l i t t l e
change. In two in d u stry groups—

D espite th e la r g e in c r e a s e in m i l i

In 1951 n e a rly a l l consumer goods
in d u s tr ie s reduced t h e i r work fo r c e

and completeness. States use the information to prepare State and area
series and send the schedules to the BLS Division of Manpower and Employment
Statistics for use in preparing the national series. Each questionnaire p ro
vides space for reporting data for December of the previous year and each
month of the calendar year; the same form is returned each month to the r e
porting establishment to be completed. Definitions of terms are described in
detail in the instructions an each form. This type of "shuttle" schedule is
designed to assist firms to report consistently, accurately, and with a min i
m u m of cost. A n establishment is defined as a single physical location, such
as a factory, mine, or store where business is conducted. In the case of a
company with several plants or establishments, the BLS endeavors to obtain
separate reports from each business unit which maintains separate payroll
records since each may be classified in a different industry.
Coverage o f E stab lish m en t R eports
The Bureau of Labor Statistics obtains monthly reports from
approximately 150,000 establishments, distributed by industry as shown b y the
table below. The table also shows the approximate proportion of total e m
ployment in each industry division covered b y the group of establishments
furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual industries
within the divisions m a y vary from the proportions shown.

Method of Computation
To compute turn-over rates for individual industries, the total
number of each type of action (accessions, quits, etc.) reported for a calen
dar month b y the sample establishments in each industry is divided b y the
total number of employees (both wage and salary workers) reported b y these
establishments who worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay
period ending nearest the 15 th of that month. To obtain the rate, the result
is multiplied b y 10 0 .
For example, in an industry sample, the total number of employees
who worked during, or received pay for, the week of January 12-18 was r e
ported as 25 ,^ 98 . During the period January 1-31 a total of 284 employees in
all reporting firms quit. The quit rate for the industry is:
- .x 100 - 1.1
25,498
To compute turn-over rates for industry groups, the rates for the
component industries are weighted b y the estimated employment. Bates for the
durable and nondurable goods subdivisions and manufacturing division are com
puted by weighting the rates of major industry groups b y the estimated
employment.
Industry Classification
Beginning with final data for December 19^9, manufacturing
establishments reporting labor turn-over are classified in accordance with
the Standard Industrial Classification (19^5) code structure. Definitions of
nonmanufacturing industries are based on the Social Security Board
Classification Code (19^2).
The durable goods subdivision of manufacturing includes the
following major groups: ordnance and accessories; lumber and wood products
(except furniture); furniture and fixtures; stone, clay, an d glass products;
primary metal industries; fabricated metal products (except ordnance, m a
chinery, and transportation equipment); machinery (except electrical);
electrical machinery; transportation equipment; instruments and related prod
ucts; and miscellaneous manufacturing industries. The nondurable goods
subdivision includes the following major groups: food and kindred products;
tobacco manufactures; textile-mill products; apparel and other finished tex
tile products; paper and allied products; chemicals and allied products;
products of petroleum and coal; rubber products; and leather and leather
products.
Comparability With Earlier Data
Labor turn-over rates are available on a comparable basis from
January 1930 for manufacturing as a whole and from 19^3 f o r two coal mining
and two communication industries. Because of a major revision, labor turn
over rates for many individual industries and industry groups for the period
prior to December 19^9 are not comparable with the rates for the subsequent
period.
53
The revision of the turn-over series involved (1) the adoption of
the Standard Industrial Classification (19^5) code structure for the manu
facturing industries, providing n e w industry definitions and groupings (the
industry definitions of the Social Security Board Classification Code (19^2)
were used in the series beginning in 19^3 and of the Census of Manufactures
in series prior to 19^3) , and (2) the introduction of weighting (according
to employment in the component industries) in the computation of industrygroup rates. In the Bureau's previous series, industry-group rates were
computed directly from the sample of reporting establishments without regard
to the relative weight of the component industries.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing
industries reflected b y labor turn-over rates are not comparable with the
changes shown in the Bureau's employment series for the following reasons:
(1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire
calendar-month; the employment reports, for the most part, refer to a 1-week
pay period ending nearest the 15 th of the month.
(2) The turn-over sample is not as large as the employment sample
and includes proportionately fewer small plants; certain industries are not
covered (see paragraph on source of data and sample coverage).
(3) Plants are not included in the turn-over computations in
months when work stoppages are in progress; the influence of such stoppages
is reflected, however, in the employment figures.
Publications
Additional information an concepts, methodology, special studies,
etc., is given in a "Technical Note an Labor Turn-Over," which is available
upon request. This note was summarized in the October 19^9 Monthly Labor
Bev iew (pp. 4l7-^2l) and in Bulletin Ho. 993* "Techniques of Preparing
Major BLS Statistical Series." The revised sections an quit, lay-off, m i s
cellaneous separations (including military), and accessions, contained in
these notes, replace those in the above mentioned publications. Summary

industries for earlier years are available upon request.
