Employment Trends
NONFARM EMPLOYMENT ROSE
DESPITE DECLINE IN FACTOR! JOBS
Nonfarm employment increased
between November and December, as
pre-Christmas hiring in retail
trade and Federal post offices out
weighed continued employment de
clines in manufacturing plants.
The 49.6 million nonfarm employment
total this December, although be
low the 1952 level for the month,
was higher than in any other
December.
The number of workers on non
farm payrolls rose by about
300,000 over the month. This was
the smallest November-to-December
increase reported in recent years.
Retail stores added half a million
employees and the postal system
hired 300,000 temporary workers.
However, factory employment dropped
by 270,000 and transportation em
ployment declined by 4.0,000. The
construction work force was re
duced by 180,000 with the onset of
cold weather.
The decrease in factory em
ployment between November and
December contrasted with a mod
erate increase reported between
these months in most post-World
War II years. All but one of the
21 major manufacturing industry
groups reduced their work force
between November and December.
Most of the declines were small,
although in the primary metals,
machinery, electrical machinery,
transportation equipment, and tex
tiles industries, they occurred at
a time when employment typically
expands. Decreases in the food and
lumber industries were primarily
seasonal; in fabricated metal prod
ucts, a work stoppage accounted for
most of the decline. In apparel,
there was a small employment in
crease, but it was below seasonal
expectations.
At the December level of 16.4million, manufacturing employment
was half a million lower than at
the end of 1952. December employ
ment continued to be larger than a
year earlier only in the printing
and publishing, paper, ordnance,
instruments, and miscellaneous
manufacturing industry groups. The
largest relative decreases occurred
in textiles, tobacco, lumber,
leather, and rubber.
Employment changes over the
month in nonmanufacturing indus
tries largely conformed to the
seasonal pattern. However, the
work force in transportation was
reduced by about 40,000— the first
such decrease over these months
in any postwar year. Reflecting
the downtrend in manufacturing
activity in recent months, the
reduction was centered in railroads
1
and trucking.
At slightly under 2 l/2 mil
lion in December, the work force
in contract construction was vir
tually equal to the record high
for the month reached at the end
of 1951* Mining and Federal gov
ernment were below year-ago em
ployment levels, but State and
local government, service, finance^
and trade were at all-time highs
for the month.
UNCHANGED FACTORY HOURS
CONTRAST WITH USUAL RISE
The workweek of factory pro
duction workers at 4.0.1 hours was
virtually unchanged between Novem
ber and December, in contrast to
the average increase of a half
hour over these months in other
postwar years. The workweek was
actually reduced in only four
groups— transportation equipment,
food, petroleum, and rubber. In a
number of other industry groups,
the increase in hours was below
seasonal expectations.
The December workweek was
more than an hour and a half be
low the year-ago level. Hours
were below the December 1952 aver
age in all major industry groups.
The reductions were 2 or more
hours in rubber, transportation
equipment, textiles, leather, and
furniture. In printing and pub
lishing, chemicals, petroleum
products, and tobacco, the work
week was close to year-ago levels.
Average hourly earnings of
factory production workers, in
cluding overtime and other premium
pay, continued at the record high
2
of $1.79 reported for the previous
month. Over the year, hourly
earnings were up by six cents.
Weekly pay of factory workers
averaged $71.78 in December, up
slightly from the previous month.
However, due to the reduction in
the workweek over the year, earn
ings this December were 36 cents
below the all-time high reached in
December 1952.
In many industries, increases
in hourly pay continued to offset
the effects of the reduced work
week. As a result, weekly earn
ings continued above last
December's level in the ordnance,
petroleum, machinery, electrical
machinery, food, chemicals, tobac
co, paper, apparel, printing, and
stone, clay and glass industry
groups.
SLOW HIRING AND
INCREASED LAYOFFS IN NOVEMBER
Reduced hiring and increased
layoffs in the Nation's factories
continued into November. Never
theless, factory employment, at
16.7 million in November, remained
within one percent of the postwar
record for the month reached in
1952.
The layoff rate in manufac
turing plants increased from 18
per 1,000 employees in October to
24 in November. Layoffs usually
rise in November with the onset of
cold weatherj however, the increase
this November was somewhat greater
than in most recent years. Apart
from seasonal factors, the largest
increases in layoffs were regis
tered in the lumber, furniture,
food, electrical machinery, and
chemicals industry groups.
The factory hiring rate dropped
from 33 per 1,000 in October to 27 in
November,a decrease roughly in line
with seasonal expectations. Hwever,
hiring had declined considerably be
tween July and October and therefore
the number of workers added to pay
rolls in November remained at about
one-third below the post-World War
II average for this month.
Quit rates declined between Oc
tober and November, dontinuing the
downtrend of recent months. At a
rate of 15 per 1,000 in November
the number of persons voluntarily
quitting their jobs was lower for
this month than in any other postWorld War II year, except 1949.
FACTOR? MAN-HOURS AT PEAK IN 1953.
Production worker man-hours in
manufacturing industries reached a
post-World War II high in 1953. De
spite a decline toward the end of
the year, aggregate weekly man-hours
in 1953 were 3.5 percent above the
previous peak reached in 1951, ac
cording to preliminary data. Manhours were 4.2 percent above the
1952 level, which was affected by a
work stoppage in steel in midyear.
Changes in man-hours in manu
facturing industries represent a
composite measure of variation both
in employment and hours of work, re
cently made available in index form
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Aggregates for these indexes are the
product of the regularly published
BLS series for production worker em
ployment and average weekly hours.
Indexes for these aggregates are
available in the Hours and Earnings
Report for 21 major manufacturing
industry groups, durable and non
durable manufacturing, and total
manufacturing.
__
Aggregate man-hours increased
more than one-tenth between 1950 and
1953, rising steadily in each year
except 1952. The 1950-1953 gains re
sulted entirely from expansion in
durable goods manufacturing, as shown
in the chart preceding page 1 of this
issue. In the durable goods sector,
the defense buildup, stepped-up out
lays for capital equipment, and in
creased buying of many types of con
sumer hard goods, led to rapid employ
ment gains as well as the widespread
scheduling of overtime work. Manhours in nondurable goods manufac
turing industries in 1953 remained
about unchanged from the 1950 level.
The defense expansion beginning
in 1950, coupled with the recovery
of civilian output from the 1949 set
back, brought the 1951 man-hours
index 8 percent above the 1947-4-9
average, as shown in the chart. In
1952, factory man-hours were down
slightly from the preceding year be
cause of the steel strike and cutbacks
in consumer soft goods manufacturing
resulting from inventory buildup and
slackened sales. In the latter part
of the year, however, the steel-using
industries rapidly recovered from
the effects of the steel stoppage,
and the consumer soft-goods indus
tries emerged from their earlier
slump, resulting in the expansion of
man-hours to record levels.
Although man-hours in 1953 as a
whole reached a new high, in the late
summer and early fall a slight down
trend became evident. This was due
to reductions in the factory work
force and to some lessening in the
amount of overtime work. At the end
of 1953, factory man-hours were below
the record levels reached in the cor
responding months of the previous
year. They remained? however, above
all other year-end levels in the
postwar period with the exception of

APPENDIX
Section A - EMPLOYMENT
Purpose and Scope of the BLS Employment Statistics Program
Bnployment statistics for nonfarm industries presented in this
monthly Report are part of the broad program of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics to provide timely, comprehensive, accurate, and detailed infor
mation for the use of businessmen, goverment officials, legislators, labor
unions, research workers, and the general public* Current employment statis
tics furnish a basic indicator of changes in economic activity in various
sectors of the economy and are widely used in following business develop
ments and in making decisions in fields of marketing, personnel, plant
location, and government policy. The BLS employment statistics program,
providing data used in making official indexes of production, productivity
and national incane, forms an important part of the Federal statistical
system.
The BLS publishes monthly the national total of employees in
nonagricultural establishments, giving totals by eight major industry
divisions: manufacturing; mining; contract construction; transportation
and public utilities} wholesale and retail trade; finance, insurance, and
real estate; service and miscellaneous; and goverment. Series on "all
employees”and "production and related workers" are presented for the
durable goods and nondurable goods subdivisions of manufacturing, 21 major
industry groups in manufacturing, 131 manufacturing sub-groups and also for
selected mining industries* "All employees" only are published for over UO
industry groups among the nomanufacturing divisions* Statistics on the
number and proportion of women employees in manufacturing industries are
published quarterly. In addition, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes
monthly employment data by industry division for State and local areas,,
compiled by cooperating State agencies*
Current national, State, and area statistics are published
monthly in the Employment and Payrolls Report* Employment data for 13
months are presented in the Current Statistics Section of each issue of the
Monthly Labor Review. Each of the series, from the earliest available period
to date, may be obtained by writing to the BLS Division of l&npower and Em
ployment Statistics. Such requests should specify the industry series desired.
Similar information is available for States and areas. A detailed explanation
of the technique of preparing employment statistics will be sent upon request.
41
Definition of BmpJLgyment
BLS employment statistics represent the number of persons employed
in establishments in nonagricultural industries in the continental United
States during a specified payroll period* Employment data for nongovern
mental establishments refer to persons who worked during, or received pay
for* any part of the pay period ending nearest the lj>th of the month*
Current data for Federal Government establishments generally refer to per
sons who worked on, or received pay for, the last day of the month; for
State and local governnent, persons who received pay for any part of the pay
period ending on, or immediately prior to, the last day of the month*
Employed persons include those who are working full- or part-time,
on a temporary or permanent basis* Persons on an establishment payroll who
are on paid sick-leave, paid holiday or paid vacation, or who work during a
part of a specified pay period and are unemployed or on strike during the
other part of the period are considered employed. Persons on the payroll of
more than one establishment during the pay period are counted each time
reported. On the other hand, persons who are laid off or are on leave with
out pay, who are on strike for the entire pay period, or who are hired bait
do not report to work during the pay period are not considered employed*
Since proprietors, self-employed persons, and unpaid family workers do not
have the status of "employee," they are not covered by BLS reports. Persons
working as farm woricers or as domestic workers in households are not within
the scope of data for nonagricultural establishments. Government employment
statistics refer to civilian employees only and hence exclude members of the
Aimed Forces*
Beginning with January 1952, the data for Federal employment are
not strictly comparable with those for prior years, primarily as a result
of changes in definition. The following changes were made starting with
that month: (1) data refer to the last day of the month rather than the
first of the month} (2) employment of the Federal Reserve Banks and of the
mixed ownership banks of the Farm Credit Administration transferred from the
Federal total and the Executive Branch to the "Banks and Trust Companies"
group of the "Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate" division; (3) fourth-class
postmasters formerly included only in the table showing Federal civilian
employment, now included in all tables showing government series except for
States and areas; (U) employment in the General Accounting Office and
Governnent Printing Office excluded fran the Executive Branch and included
in the Legislative Branch; (5) the "Defense agencies" category replaced by
one showing employment in the Department of Defense only*
Collection of Establishment Reports
The BLS, with the cooperation of State agencies, collects current
employment information for most industries by means of "shuttle" schedules
(BLS 790 Forms) mailed monthly to individual establishments* State agencies
mail most of the forms and when returned, examine them for consistency,
accuracy, and completeness* States use the information to prepare State and
area series and send the schedules to the BLS Division of Manpower and
42
Bnployment Statistics for use in preparing the national series* Each
questionnaire provides a line for the State agency to enter data for
December of the previous year, as well as lines for the cooperating
establishment to report for each month of the current calendar year.
The December data, copied from the completed previous year*s foim, give
the reporter a means for comparison when reporting for January as an aid
to collection of consistent data. The same f o m is returned each month
to the reporting establishment to be completed. Definitions of terms are
described in detail in the instructions on each form. This "shuttle"
schedule, which has been used by BLS for more than 20 years, is designed to
assist f i m s to report consistently, accurately, and with a minimum of cost.
An 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 of Establishment Reports
The Bureau of Labor Statistics obtains monthly reports fran
approximately 155,000 establishments, distributed by industry as shown by
the following table. The table also shows the approximate proportion of
total employment in each industry division covered by the group of establish
ments furnishing monthly employment data. The coverage for individual
industries within the divisions may vary from the proportions shown.

Classification of Establishment Reports
To present meaningful tabulations of employment data, establish
ments are classified into industries on the basis of the principal product
or activity determined from information on annual sales volume for a recent
year. In the case of an establishment making more than one product, the
entire employment of the plant is included under the industry indicated by
the most important product. The titles and descriptions of industries
presented in the 19U5 Standard Industrial Classification Manuals Vol. I
(U. S* Bureau of the Budget, Washington, T). C.) are used for classifying
reports from manufacturing establishments; the 19h2 Industrial Classifica
tion Code, (U. S. Social Security Board) for reports from nonmanufacturing
establishments.
Benchmark Data
Basic sources of benchmark information are periodic tabulations
of employment data, by industry, compiled by State agencies from reports of
establishments covered under State unemployment insurance laws. Supple
mentary tabulations prepared by the U. S. Bureau of Old Age and Survivors
Insurance are used for the group of establishments exempt from State
unemployment insurance laws because of their small size* For industries
not covered by either of the tvo programs, benchmarks are compiled from
special establishment censuses: for example, for interstate railroads, from
establishment data reported to the ICC; for State and local government,
from data reported to the Bureau of the Census; for the Federal government,
from agency data compiled by the Civil Service Commission. Establishments
are classified into the same industrial groupings for benchmark purposes as
they are for monthly reporting.
Estimating Method
The estimating procedure for industries for which data on both
"all employees”and "production and related worke-rs" are published (i.e.
manufacturing and selected mining industries) is outlined below; the first
step of this method is also used for industries for which only figures on
•'all employees" are published.
The first step is to compute total employment (all employees) in
the industry for the month following the benchmark period. The all-employee
total for the benchmark period (March) is multiplied by the percent change
over the month of total employment in a group of establishments reporting
for both March and April* Thus, if firms in the BLS sample report 30,000
employees in March and 31>200 in April, the percentage increase would be
h percent (1,200 divided by 30,000). If the all-employee benchmark in
March is lj.0,000, the all-employee total in April would be 10U percent of
h09000 or 1*1 ,600.
The second step is to compute the production-worker total for the
industry in the month following the benchmark period. The all-employee
total for the month is multiplied by the ratio of production workers to all
employees. This ratio is computed from those establishment reports which
show data for both items. Thus, if these firms in April report 2l±,h00
production workers and a total of 30,500 employees, the ratio of production
workers to all employees-would be .80 (2U,U00 divided by 30,$00). The
production-worker total in A.pril would be 33,280 (lil,600 multiplied by .80).
Figures for subsequent months are computed by cariying forward the
totals for the previous month according to the method described above, When
annual benchmark data become available, the BLS employment figures for the
benchmark period are compared with the total count. If differences are
found the BLS series are adjusted to agree with the benchmark count.
Comparability With Other Employment Estimates
Data published by other government and private agencies differ frctn
BLS employment statistics because of differences in definition, sources of
information, and methods of collection, classification, and estimation. BLS
monthly figures are not comparable, for example, with the estimates of the
Bureau of the Census Monthly Report on the Labor Force, Census data are
obtained by personal interviews with individual members of a sample of house
holds and are designed to provide information on the work status of the whole
population, classified into broad social and economic groups. The BLS, on
the other hand, obtains by mail questionnaire data on employees, based on
payroll records of business units, and prepares detailed statistics on the
industrial and geographic distribution of employment and on hours of work and
earnings.
Since BLS employment figures are based on establishment payroll
records, persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting
period will be counted more than once in the BLS series. By definition,
proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic servants, and unpaid family
workers are excluded from the BLS but not the MRLF series. The two series
also differ in date of reference, Bl S collecting data for the pay period
ending nearest the l$th of the month (except for government), while the MRLF
relates to the calendar week containing the 8th day of the month.
Employment estimates derived by the Bureau of the Census from its
quinquennial census and annual sample surveys of manufacturing establishments
also differ from BLS employment statistics, Among the important reasons for
disagreement are differences in industries covered, in the business units
considered parts of an establishment, and in the industrial classification
of establishments.
Bnployment Statistics for States and Areas
State and area employment statistics are collected and prepared
by State agencies in cooperation with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The
names and addresses of these agencies are listed on the last page of the
Report, State agencies use the same basic schedule as the Bureau of Labor
Statistics in collecting employment statistics. State series are adjusted
45
to benchmark data from State unemployment insurance agencies and the Bureau
of Old Age and Survivors Insurance. Because some States have more recent
benchmarks than others and use slightly varying methods of computation, the
sum of the State figures differs from the official U. S. totals prepared by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics. State,and area data in greater industry
detail and for earlier periods may be secured directly upon request to the
appropriate State agency or to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Section B - LABOR TURN-OVER
Definition of Labor Turnover
"Labor turnover," as used in this series, refers to the gross
movement of vage and salary workers Into and out of employment status vlth
respect to individual firms. This movement is subdivided into two broad
types: accessions (nev hires and rehires) and separations (terminations of
employment initiated by either the employer or the employee). Each type of
action is cumulated for a calendar month aad expressed as a rate per 100 em
ployees. Bates of accession and separation are shown separately.
Both the types of movement and the employment used as the base for
computing labor turnover rates relate to all employees, Including executive,
office, sales, and other salaried personnel as veil as production workers.
All groups of employees - full- and part-time, permanent and temporary - are
included. Transfers from one establishment to another within a company are
not considered to be turnover items.
A relatively large percent of all personnel turnover is often
confined to particular groups of employees, such as nev workers, trainees,
extra, part-time, and temporary workers. Turnover rates (especially for
periods longer than a month) should mot be interpreted as the exact propor
tion of the total number of persons employed at any point in time who change
jobs during a subsequent time Interval. Tor example, a quit rate of 25 per
100 for an annual period (computed by adding the 12 monthly rates) does not
mean that 25 percent of all the persons employed at the beginning of a year
left their jobs by the end of the year.
The terms used In labor turnover statistics are defined below:
Separations are terminations of employment during the calendar
month and are classified according to cause: quits, discharges, layoffs,
and miscellaneous separations (including military), as defined below.
Quits are terminations of employment during the calendar month
Initiated by employees for such reasons as: acceptance of a job in another
company, dissatisfaction, return to school, marriage, maternity, ill health,
or voluntary retirement where no company pension is provided. Failure to re
port after being hired and unauthorized absences of more than seven
consecutive calendar days are also classified as quits. Prior to 19^0, mis
cellaneous separations vere also included in this category.
Discharges are terminations of employment during the calendar month
initiated by the employer for such reasons as employees' incompetence, viola
tion of rules, dishonesty, insubordination, laziness, habitual absenteeism,
or Inability to meet physical standards.
Layoffs are terminations of employment during the calendar month
lasting or.expected to last more than seven consecutive calendar days without
pay, initiated by the employer without prejudice to the worker, for such
47
reasons as lack of orders or materials, release of temporary help,
conversion of plant, introduction of labor-saving machinery or processes, or
suspensions of operations vithout pay during Inventory periods.
Miscellaneous separations (including military) are terminations of
employment during the calendar month because of permanent disability, death,
retirement on company pension, and entrance into the Armed Forces expected
to last more than thirty consecutive calendar days. Prior to 19*0, miscel
laneous separations were included vith quits. Beginning September 19*0,
military separations were Included here.
Persons on leave of absence (paid or unpaid) vith the approval of
the employer are not counted as separations until such time as it is defi
nitely determined that such persons will not return to work. At that time,
a separation is reported as one of the above types, depending on the circumstanc es.
Accessions are the total number of permanent and temporary
additions to the employment roll during the calendar month, Including both
nev and rehired employees. Persons returning to vork after a layoff, mili
tary separation, or other absences vho have been counted as separations are
considered accessions.
Source of Data and Sample Coverage
Labor turnover data are obtained each month from a sample of
establishments by means of a mail questionnaire. Schedules are received
from approximately 7,100 cooperating establishments in the manufacturing,
mining, and communication industries (see belov). The definition of manu
facturing used in the turnover series is more restricted than in the BLS
series on employment, hours, and earnings because of the exclusion of cer
tain manufacturing industries from the labor turnover sample. The major
Industries excluded are: printing, publishing, and allied industries (since
April 19*3)j canning and preserving fruits, vegetables, and sea foods;
vomen's and misses' outerwear; and fertilizer.

Method of Computation
To compute turnover rates for individual industries, the total
number of each type of action (accessions, quits, etc.) reported for a calen
dar month by the sample establishments in each industry is divided by the
total number of employees (both vage and salary workers) reported by these
establishments who worked during, or received pay for, any part of the pay
period ending nearest the 15th of that month. To obtain the rate, the result
is multiplied by 100.
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 re
ported as 25,^98. During the period January 1-31 a total of 28k employees in
all reporting firms quit. The quit rate for the industry is:
28^ x 100 - 1.1
257498
To compute turnover rates for industry groups, the rates for the
component industries are weighted by 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 by the estimated
employment.
Industry Classification
Beginning with final data for December 19^9, manufacturing
establishments reporting labor turnover are classified i* accordance with
the Standard Industrial Classification (19^5) code structure. Definitions of
nonmanufacturing Industries are based on the Social Sec.irioy 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, and glass products;
primary metal industries; fabricated metal products (except ordnance, ma
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: f#od 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 petroleusa and coal; rubber products; and leather and leather
products.
Comparability With Earlier Data
Labor turnover rates are available on a comparable basis from
January 1930 for manufacturing as a whole and from 19^3 for 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.
U9
The revision of the turnover series involved (l) the adoption of
the Standard Industrial Classification (19^5) code structure for the manu
facturing industries, providing nev industry definitions and groupings (the
industry definitions of the Social Security Board Classification Code (19^2)
vere 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 vere
computed directly from the sample of reporting establishments vithout regard
to the relative veight of the component industries.
Comparability With Employment Series
Month-to-month changes in total employment in manufacturing
industries reflected by labor turnover rates are not comparable vith the
changes shown in the Bureau's employment series for the folloving reasons:
(1) Accessions and separations are computed for the entire
calendar-month; the e m p l o y m e n t reports, for the most part, refer to a 1-veek
pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
(2) The turnover sample is not as large as the employment sample
and includes proportionately fever small plants; certain industries are not
covered (see p a r a g r a p h on source of data and sample coverage).
(3) Plants are not included jn the turnover computations in
months vhen work stoppages are in progress; the Influence of such stoppages
is reflected, hovever, in the employment figures.
