TREND OF EMPLOYMENT
July 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 of the im
portant 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.

Employment in Selected Manufacturing Industries in July 1933
Comparison of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in July 1 3 with June 1 3 and

July 1 3

I NCREASES of 7.2 percent in employment and 7.9 percent in pay
rolls were shown in manufacturing industries in July 1933 as com
pared with June 1933. The level of employment in July of the present
irear is 21.9 percent above the level of July 1932, in which month the
owest point of employment and pay rolls in the year 1932 was re
corded. Pay rolls in July 1933 show a gain of 28.5 percent over the
year interval.
The index of employment in July 1933 was 67.3 as compared with
62.8 in June 1933, 58.7 in May 1933, and 55.2 in July 1932; the pay
roll index in July 1933 was 46.5 as compared with 43.1 in June 1933,
38.9 in May 1933, and 36.2 in July 1932. The 12-month average for
1926 equals 100.
These changes in employment and pay rolls in July 1933 are based
on reports supplied by 18,090 estabhsmnents in 89 of the principal
manufacturing industries of the United States. These establish
ments reported 3,023,831 employees on their pay rolls during the pay
period ending nearest July 15 whose combined weekly earnings were
$54,553,744. The employment reports received from these cooperat
ing establishments cover approximately 50 percent of the total number
of wage earners in all manufacturing industries of the country.
The recent broad expansion in manufacturing industries which
began in April and which was reflected by increases in employment
in 72 of the 89 manufacturing industries surveyed in May and 79
industries in June, continued in July, 77 industries reporting increases
in number of wage earners over the month interval and 71 industries
reporting increases in weekly pay-roll totals.

There are a number of factors which make these impressive gains
in factory employment and pay rolls in July of even greater signifi
cance than is at first apparent. A marked decline in employment and
a more pronounced decrease in pay rolls in July has been invariably
reported in previous years, due to the customary closing down for
repairs and inventory during the first part of the month, the begin
ning of vacation periods, and the effect of the July 4 holiday on pay
rolls covering more than a 1-week period. These usual conditions
were reported to some extent in July 1933, together with a number of
strikes and labor disturbances in various localities. These retarding
factors, however, failed to halt the general expansion in business
activity in July 1933, and instead of the customary decreases in July
an increase of 7.2 percent in employment and 7.9 percent in pay rolls
is shown.
The increase of 7.2 percent in employment in July indicates a return
to employment of approximately 400,000 workers since June 15, and
the increase of 7.9 percent in pay rolls between June and July repre
sents an estimated increase of $7,500,000 paid in weekly wages to
factory workers in July over the weekly earnings paid in June.
These continued monthly expansions in employment and pay rolls
in manufacturing industries have brought the level of factory em
ployment in July 1933 to the highest point registered since October
1931, and the index of pay rolls has reached the highest point recorded
since March 1932.
Thirteen of the fourteen groups of manufacturing industries
reported increases in employment and pay rolls between June and
July, the tobacco group alone failing to report gains in both items
over the monthly interval. The transportation group reported the
most pronounced gain in employment (12.6 percent) due largely to
continued gains in number of workers in the automobile industry,
which reported a further increase of 13.2 percent in July as compared
with June. The rubber-products group reported an increase of 11.8
percent in employment between June and July, due to pronounced
gains in the rubber footwear, automobile tire, and other rubbergoods industries. The iron and steel group reported a gain of 10.9
percent in employment over the month interval. Each of the 13
industries comprising this group reported increases in employment,
the iron and steel industry reporting the most pronounced gain, 13.9
percent, and the stove, tool, wirework, bolt and nut, steam fitting,
and structural-ironwork industries also reporting large gains in
number of workers from June to July. The lumber products group
reported a gain of 10.3 percent in employment between June and
July, the sawmill and millwork industries reporting gains of 13 per
cent and 11.1 percent, respectively, with smaller increases shown in
the furniture and turpentine and rosin industries. Increases in
employment ranging from 7.1 percent to 7.9 percent were reported
in the leather, stone-clay-glass, textile, and machinery groups. The
railroad repair shop group reported a gain of 6.7 percent in employ
ment and the nonferrous metals group reported a gain of 6.6 percent.
The chemical group reported an increase of 5.5 percent in employment
between June and July, and the increases in the remaining two groups,
paper and printing, and food, were 2 percent and 1.8 percent, respec
tively. The decreases in employment and pay rolls in the tobacco
manufactures group were 1.3 and 0.2 percent, respectively.
3
The most pronounced gain in employment in any of the separate
manufacturing industries was reported in the electric and steam rail
road car-building industry in which a gain of 24.7 percent was shown
between June and July. The brick industry reported an increase of
19.1 percent in number of workers in July, as compared with June,
and the carpet industry reported a gain of 18.7 percent in employ
ment. The textile machinery industry reported an increase of 16.6
percent in employment over the month interval, rubber footwear 15.8
percent, cash registers 14.4 percent, and silk 14 percent. Other indus
tries reporting increases of more than 10 percent in employment were:
Woolen, 13.1 percent; bolts and nuts, 13 percent; stoves, 12.8 per
cent; tires, 12.5 percent; cottonseed oil, cake, and meal, 12.3 percent,
smelting and refining— copper, lead, and zinc, 12.2 percent; brass,
bronze, and copper products, 11.8 percent; locomotives, 11.5 per
cent; cotton small wares, 11.4 percent; tools, 10.8 percent; and cot
ton goods and explosives, 10.5 percent each.
Other pronounced gains in employment in industries of major
importance were as follows: Marble, slate, and granite, 10 percent;
chemicals, 9.2 percent; men’s clothing 9.1 percent; rayon, 8.2 per
cent; foundry and machine-shop products and structural metal work,
8.1 percent each; boots and shoes, 7.5 percent; electrical machinery,
7.3 percent; machine tools, 6.7 percent; leather, 6.4 percent; hard
ware, 6.3 percent; paper and pulp, 5.9 percent; and furniture, 5.1 per
cent. Among the 12 industries in which decreases in employment
were reported between June and July 1933, the silverware industry
reported the most pronounced decline, 16.2 percent, due largely to
vacations in a number of establishments, while the millinery and
women’s clothing industries also reported sharp declines in employ
ment, which are seasonal at this period of the year. The jewelry
industry reported a decrease of 4.9 percent in employment; chewing
tobacco, 3.9 percent; confectionery, 3.8 percent; and corsets, 1.4 per
cent. The decreases in employment reported in the remaining 5
industries were less than 1 percent.
Comparing the level of employment in July 1933 with the level of
employment in July 1932, 71 industries show more employees on the
pay rolls in July 1933 than in July 1932. Only 18 industries failed to
register increases in employment over the year interval. In a number
of instances the increases in employment were spectacular. Employ
ment in the beverage industry, due to the resumption of operations of
breweries, stands 109.1 percent above the level of July 1932. The
index of employment in the woolen and worsted goods industry in
July 1933 is 85.4 percent above the level of the corresponding month
of 1932, and the cotton goods index of employment is 82.7 percent
above the level of July 1932. Establishments engaged in the manu
facture of rayon and allied products reported an increase of 80.4
percent in number of workers over the 12-month interval; silk goods
show an increase of 64.5 percent over the same period. Additional
industries reporting pronounced gains in employment between July
1932 and July 1933 are: Textile machinery, 75.7 percent; carpets
and rugs, 58.1 percent; stoves, 47.9 percent; radios, 50.6 percent;
agricultural implements, 46 percent; shirts and collars, 38 percent;
and men’s clothing, 35.1 percent.
In table 1, which follows, are shown the number of identical establish
ments reporting in both June and July 1933 in the 89 manufacturing
4
industries, together with the total number of employees on the pay
rolls of these establishments during the pay period ending nearest
July 15, the amount of their earnings for 1 week in July, the percents
of change over the month and year intervals, and the indexes of em
ployment and pay roll in July 1933.
The monthly percents 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 2 months considered. The percents of change
over the month interval in the several groups and in the total of the
89 manufacturing industries are computed from the in<iex 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.

R eports as to working time in July were received from 13,856
establishments in 89 manufacturing industries. Three percent of
these establishments were idle, 57 percent operated on a full-time
basis, and 40 percent worked on a part-time schedule.
An average of 91 percent of full-time operation in July was shown
by reports received from all the operating establishments included
in table 4. The establishments working part time in July averaged
78 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 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.

Employment in Nonmanufacturing Industries in July 1933
I NCREASED employment in July 1933, as compared with June,
was reported in 12 of the 15 nonmanufacturing industries appearing
in the following table. Data for the building-construction industry
are not presented here but are shown in more detail under the section
“ Building construction.” The canning and preserving industry re
ported the most pronounced gains in both employment and pay roll
over the month interval, the increase of 37.8 percent in employment
14
and 25.8 percent in pay rolls indicating the usual seasonal expansion
in this industry. An increased demand is indicated in the rising em
ployment in the anthracite and bituminous coal-mining industries,
the anthracite-mining industry reporting an increase of 11 percent in
employment coupled with an increase of 11.5 percent in pay rolls.
The bituminous coal-mining industry reported a gain of 3.1 percent
in employment coupled with an increase of 15.1 percent in earnings.
The quarrying and nonmetallic mining industry reported a gain of
4.8 percent in number of workers in July 1933, compared with June,
and the metalliferous-mining industry reported an increase of 4.7
percent in employment. The crude-petroleum-producing industry
reported a gain of 2.7 percent in number of employees from June to
July; hotels, due largely to the opening of seasonal resort hotels, re
ported an increase of 2.6 percent; and the wholesale-trade industry
reported an increase of 1.6 percent in number of employees over the
month interval. The gains in the remaining 4 industries reporting
increased employment were less than 1 percent and were as follows:
Laundries and banks, brokerage, real estate, and insurance, 0.4 per
cent each; power and light, 0.3 percent; and electric-railroad and
motor-bus operation, 0.1 percent. In the four industries in which
decreases in employment were reported the retail-trade group showed
a falling off in employment, which is customary at this time of year.
This decline of 4.7 percent appeared largely in the department, variety,
and limited-price group of establishments. The dyeing and cleaning
industry reported a seasonal loss of 3.2 percent, and the telephone and
telegraph industry reported a drop of 1 percent in number of employees.
In the following table are presented employment and pay-roll data
for the nonmanufacturing industries surveyed, exclusive of building
construction:

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 June and July 1933
in 15 industrial groups and 74 separate manufacturing industries.
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
mutiplying 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.

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 with 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 percent of the establishments reporting
monthly employment data.

i Data supplied by cooperating State bureaus.
Trend of Employment in July 1933, by States
I N THE following table are shown the fluctuations in employment
and pay-roll totals in July 1933 as compared with June 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 biulding-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 June and July 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.
When the identity of any reporting company would be disclosed by
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
presented for any industrial group when the representation in the
State covers less than three establishments.

Employment and Pay Roll in July 1933 in Cities of Over 500,000
Population
I N THE following table are presented the fluctuations in employ
ment and pay-roll totals in July 1933 as compared with June
1933 in 13 cities of the United States having a population of 500,000
or over. These changes are computed from reports received from
identical establishments in each of the months considered.
In addition to including reports received from establishments in the
several industrial groups regularly covered in the Bureau’s survey,
excluding building construction, reports have also been secured from
other establishments in these cities for inclusion in these totals.
Information concerning employment in building construction is not
available for all cities at this time and therefore has not been included.

There was a decrease of 4.3 percent in the number of permanent
employees in the District of Columbia comparing July 1933 with
July 1932. Comparing July 1933 with June 1933, the decrease in
permanent employees was 1.2 percent. While there was a substantial
increase in the number of temporary employees, the total Federal
employment in the District of Columbia decreased 2.2 percent, com
paring July 1933 with the same month of the previous year, but
increased 1 percent, comparing July 1933 with June 1933.
Employees for four new Federal agencies are included in the above
figures. The Federal Emergency Relief Administration, the Federal
Coordinator of Transportation, the Tennessee Valley Authority, and
the Public Works Administration added to the Federal pay roll in
July, 310 permanent and 72 temporary employees. The Depart
ment of Agriculture, due to agriculture aid administration work, had
a net increase of 1,435 temporary employees. This explains the big
increase in temporary employees as compared with July 1932 and
June 1933.
Outside of the District of Columbia the number of permanent
employees decreased 2.7 percent and the number of temporary em
ployees decreased 11.6 percent, comparing July 1933 with July 1932.
Total Federal employment throughout the United States decreased
3.1 percent during the same period.
Table 2 shows employment and pay roll in the Emergency Con
servation Corps, sometimes known as the Forest Service.

The data in the above table were collected by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics from the War Department and the Forest Service of the
Department of Agriculture.
On the last day of July there were 293,525 enrolled men in the For
est Service. This is an increase of over 21,000 as compared with
June. There were on the pay roll in the Forest Service 11,103
supervisory and technical civilians on July 31, an increase of nearly
4,000. The Forest Service as a whole increased over 25,000, com
paring July with June.
The pay of the enrolled personnel is $30 per month, except that 5
percent of the members are being paid $45 per month, and an addi
tional 8 percent are paid $36 per month. The pay roll as shown for
the enrolled personnel were figured on this basis. During the month
of July nearly $10,500,000 was paid to enrolled personnel and civilian
supervisors in the Emergency Conservation Corps. Pay-roll data
for Reserve officers, line and medical, are not available.

Wage-Rate Changes in American Industries
Manufacturing Industries
N THE following table is presented information concerning wagerate adjustments occurring between June 15 and July 15,1933, as
shown by reports received from manufacturing establishments sup
plying employment data to this Bureau. Of the 18,090 manufactur
ing establishments included in the July survey, 17,422 establishments,
or 96.3 percent of the total, reported no change in wage rates over the
month interval. The 2,819,636 employees not affected by changes
in wage rates constituted 93.2 percent of the total number of em
ployees covered by the July trend of employment survey of manu
facturing industries.
Six hundred and thirty manufacturing establishments in 69 indus
tries reported increases in wage rates during the period June 15 to
July 15, affecting 202,371 workers and averaging 10.7 percent.
These increases represent voluntary raises in practically all instances,
as the N.R.A. codes did not become effective until after July 15.
The number of establishments reporting wage-rate decreases con
tinued to decline, only 1,824 workers being affected in the 38 estab
lishments reporting decreases in wage rates, which averaged 11.4
percent.
