industries, whore declines in consumer demand and rising inventories have
been reported since early Spring, Between July and August 19.51> the. net
.employment, gain in these three industry groups was only 36,000, compared
with en average July-August increase of 125,000 in the postwar period,
©jploymcnt in durable goods tfianufacturing in August was 600t000 higher than
a year earlier, largely because of expansion in defonse-co’

federal employment increased by 16,000 between July and August, as navy yards,

The 1950 volume of "Non&gricultural Employment by State"
presents complete broad industry date- for both 194-9 and
.
1950 for 42 States and the District of Columbia, includ
ing monthly 'figures on employment in mining, contract construction,
manufacturing,- transportation and public utilities, trade, finance,
service, and government. Of the six remaining States, L u o - a ; . and
oi.in.
Kentucky' provided all industry employment soylos with the exception
of construction.- Mississippi provided s i - e - on mnufacturtng, trans
e'ir
portation, finance, and government. Data on manufacturing and-govern^ment employment are available for- Delaware, Michigan, and CMo.
DATA HA?F,
MAM USES
Since statistics on employment are among the most
comprehensive indicator^ of the economic situation,
they a t used videly by business and banking firms,
r;
Chambers of Doaimorce, State;.
government atreecies, and business research
organizations. Data by industry, on a unifowu basis, make possible
comparisons of State*, in terns of their economic siruewxro, the .vola
tile importance of each incats try to the various States, as well as
each. State’ share of the employment in t e various industries. The
s
h*
data are therefore useful in dotoKidning potential ssarkets, planning
advertising campaigns, and assigning s l ' - quotus; Is&pioymont
aes
statistics, continuous ovar the years, measure changes in the economic
structure of States ana indicate the general direction of State develop
ments. They are valuable back«jround material for investigations of
proposed changes in State .unemployment insurance, tax, and welfare
programs. In a period of defense mobilisation, knowledge of diversity
of current- economic conditions among States is helpful in framing
national economic policy.

New loriz, with 5.6 million woi-kors in 1950, was the
landing State in nofcagricultural employment. Nsw iork,
Pcmisyl'vania, and t c Jersey, comprising the Middle

There were videspread differences in the industrial- composition of

CRUDE PETR OLEU M
AND NATURAL GAS P R O D U C T I O N
A gradual upward trend in employment In crude pttx'oleuni and
natural gas production was evident during the first 7 months of
1951. July employment of 266,000 workers wan above the 1950 aver
age of 255,300 and slightly above July 191)0, which was about
26s,000.
The intensified exp] o ? tor;/ and drilling progrsm now unusrway
ris the greatest in the industry1a history. Wildcat drilling is on
a level 20 to 25 percent above last year and producers have stepped
up thbir regular ’rilling operations substantially over these of
d
last year. In June, 4,125 wells were completed and the total foot
age drilled was the highest ever recorded by the industry. Over
2 0 , 0 0 0 wells were drilled in this country during the first half of
this yaar, whereas .about 24,000 art1 expected, to be drilled during
the la-st half of 1961, Meanwhile, new productive areas are 'being
opened in a n>ynbor of States, One of these, the Spr' berry Trend
in West Texas may prove to be one of the largest discoveries in
this countrv in the last 20 years, The* Williston Easin in western
Forth Dakota and eastern Montana is attracting mueh attention,
Nearly all the lar<*«r oil companies are active in the area.
Increased military demands have made it necesary to boost
our oil production considerably. Deneatic consumption h°s shown
a sha.Tr> incrc-ase during the lrst few years, putting a further
strain on the industry, and some of the oil lost to the western
nations, because of the crisis in Iran, is now b«in<? supplied
from .American fields.
Crude production in the first 7 months of this year was
about 19 percent above the corr?St>ondin<r period of 1950, A con
tinued hi^h level of production is expected, Texas has increased
its allowable crude oil production for September to 3,059,367
barrels daily, the first time Texas has permitted production to
rise over 3 million barrels a day,
INDUSTRIAL CHEMICALS
Industrial chemicals recorded a sharp rise in employment
over tfce past year in spite of shortages in domestic raw materials
The work force in organic chemicals rose from 199,800 in July 1950
to 330,800 in July 1951, an increase of 15,5 percent; and employ
ment in inorganic chemicals increased from 70,300 to 83,700 during
the same period, a ^ain of 19,1 percent. Increases in imports of
benzene, napthalene, soda ash, caustic soda, and uther basic chem
icals have helped the industry to maintain production, Further
increases in production and employment are expected becouse of
new construction and expansion of present plant facilities
planned by chemical manufacturers,
TEXTI LE MILL
PRODUCTS
Textile mill products establishments reported 1,161,000
production workers for July 1951, a decrease of 38,000 from June,
Although the July figure was about the same as for July 1950, em
ployment in most of tve intervening months -'as considerably higher
The peak was reached in February 1951, when 1,269,000 workers were
reported, Since then employment has declined steadily.
The industry can be expected to recover somewhat in the
months ahead o ' accumulated inventories are reduced nr.3 the dementi
s
for textiles increases. Good business Conditions p.nd f #Towin?
voluae of military purchases will have a favorable effect. In the
lon«r ran, the. greater use of synthetic fibers will «elee the indus
try -l3?ss dependent on cotton and wool, thus reducing the seasonal
fluctuations in enplo f

Montana, Oalorado, Utah, and Nevada, produced more than 52 percent of
the total domestic output of zinc and approximately 54 percent of the
lead. Missouri, however, continued to rank first amonr the States in
lead production, with the southeastern Missouri district supplying
2 1 percent of the total domestic output,
5
Arkansas produces about 95 percent of the country's bauxite,
the ore from which aluminum is made. Some important metals mined in
small quantities are; tungsten produced principally in Nevada,
North Carolina, end California; molybdenum in Arizona, California,,
Colorado, and Nevada; vanadium ore in the Colorado-Utah area} efrromjlta
in California; cobalt in Pennsylvania, Missouri, and Irlah®; and de
posits of ceftnotite-roscoelitet which provide roost of the domestic
uranium ore in Colorado, Utah and Arizona,
The 25 leading gold mines produced 73 percent of the f o f in
fll
1949 and are located in South Dakota, Utah, Alaska, California, Idaho,
Washington, Arizona, iTevafta, Colorado, and Montana, More than two**
thirds of the United States output of silver was mined by the 25 leadin/? silver mines located in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Nevada,
Colorado* and California,
Iron, copper, lead, and zinc account for approximately 83
percent of the total employment in metal mining Gold and silver1
mines employ another 11 percent of the workers in the .industry. Pro
duction of the other metals provide** employment for only 7 percent of
the total metal mining work force.
Metallic ore deposits occur in nature In varied form and
location; some are almost pure, others are mixed with rock and
minerals; some are in horizontal seams, others are vertical and
angular; some are at the earth*s surface, others are f«.r under
ground.
Two widely different methods are use# in ore extraction;
underground and open-rpit mining. Bodies of ore which lie deep be
neath the earth*s surface are exploited by underground mining. In
this method a shaft is driven down to the ore deposit* In succes
sive operations, holes are drilled and packed with explosive*, and
a blast is set off to loosen the ore, which is loaded in cars,
hauled to the surface, and processed for transportation to the
smelters. Much of the work done in underground mining requires a
hifh decree of skill.

Work Force).
The work force in metal minin? is almost entirely mala.
Wotien, and young men under IB, are for the most part excluded by
State .lews from ©11 work except clerical and a few technical and
surface jobs. The workers are mainly white, although some Negroes
ar.« foun4 in a few Southern States, A substantial proportion of
Mexican lafcor is employed, in the Southwest, Approximately 78 per
cent rf. all workers in the industry are engaged in underground or
deep mine operations, and. 32 percent work in open-pit mines.
According to a study of the occupational structure, in under
'
ground mining reporte„d by the ’nited States Employment Service in
J
1947, professional employees constituted approximately 3 percent of
the mining’ labor force; administrative, protective, and material
control and handling personnel, 9 percent; construction and main
tenance personnel, 13 percent; and underground operations employed
the remaining 75 percent. More than two-thirds of the underground
production workers were classified as skilled. Occupational patterns
vary considerably in this industry, depending upon size and typo of
mining operation, and kind of ore.
Among professional jobs in mining ore those of mining engi
neer, safety engineer, metallurgist, -mine surveyor, mineral surveyor,
geologist, mineralogist, fthemist, and. assayer. These occupations
generally require a college edue^tion and varying amounts of specific
training and experience directed towiard such activities as locating
•or® "bodies, analyzing their size, shrvpe, find potentialities, deter
mining the best methods of extracting the ore and developing the
mitio, 'directing' the mining operations, assaying the quality and
value of the ore* or performing metallurgical processes to treat
certain grades of or©.
Trends in Production and Employment
Production of all the major metals increased substantially in
1950 over the 19^9 levels: usable iron by 16 percent for a total of
98 million gross tons; recoverable copper by 21 percent to a total of
886 thousand short tons; and lead-zinc usable metal by 6 percent to
X million short tons. Production of all these metals was much higher
than in 1939 > but well below World War II peaks in production.
Employment in metal mining averaged 101,000 employees in 1950>
a slight increase over the 1949 total employment. Of thes'e 101,000
workers, 35»5^ were employed in iron mines, 28,100 in copper mines,
19,700 in lead-zinc mines, and the remainder in other metal mining.
The largest gain in employment over the 1949 level was in iron mining,
which increased 5*3 percent. Copper mining increased 2.9 percent but
lead-zinc mining decreased 4.^ percent. Total metal mining employ
ment in 1950 was 1.6 percent lower than the 1939 average, and far
below the World v a II peak of 135*800 reached in M rch 1942.

Trends in Hours and Earnings
Average weekly hours in the me-al mining, .industry have in
creased since the outbreak of the •
Korean war from * . . in the first
416
half of 1950 to 43.6 during the first half of 1931 * In iron mining
there was an increase of 2.4 hours for a total of 42.4 hours, whereas
in copper and lead-zinc mining, the average weekly hour increases
were 1.7 and 1.6 hours for totals of 46.2 and 43.1 hours per week,
respectively.
The average workweek of 46.2 hours reported aor copper
mining was even greater than the average of 4y.4 hours reported
for this metal for the war years 3.942-i944. However, iron mining
with 42.4 and lead-zinc with 43.1 average weekly hours during
January-June 1951 fell' short of their 1942-1944 average weekly
hours of 42.7 c i 43.8 respectively.
jd
Production workers in the metal mining industry earned an
average of $1.69 per-hour during the first half of 1951 , an increase
of 12 percent over the corresponding period of I95O. This rise was
similar to the 11 percent rise in earnings in all manufacturing.
The average hourly rate in lead .aid sine mining was #1.76 (a rise
of 14.3 percent); in copper mining, §1.69 (8.1 percent); and in iron
mining, &I.69 (13*8 percent).

Output Per Man-Hour
In metal minins:, technological progress fights a constant
battle against dwindling resources. Improvements in equipment and
in mining methods in recent years have brought about sizable ^ains
in the amount of crude ore produced per man-hour, but the industry
has not shown corresponding increases in man-hour output of recover
able metal because the quality of ore mined tends to deteriorate
progressively.
Two principal factors account for increases in the quantity of
crude ore mined per hour— the rise in the proportion of ore coming from
open-pit mines requiring less labor per ton of ore produced, and the
increasing mechanization of mining operations. The proportion of or©
obtained from open-pit iron mines increased from 63 percent in 1939
to 75 percent in 1949, and these surface mines required only one-half
as many workers to produce three times as much ore as compared with
underground mines. Open-pit copper mines accounted for 78 percent of
the crude ore in 1949 compared with 68 percent in 1945, Lead and
zinc are mined almost entirely through underground operations.
Mechanization is also of primary importance in contributing
to increased man-hour output of crude ore. The trend toward mechan
ization has been pronounced during the past 10 years.
Other important factors affecting the productivity per manhour include: the availability of skilled workers, prices of metals
and price supports, efficiency of management and production methods,
labor-manasement cooperation, weather conditions, and the position
or location of ore bodies. The percentage of working time used in
direct production of ore as compared with time used in mine develop
ment and improvement also affects the number of man-hours required to
produce a given amount of fre.
Although there has been a general increase in productivity
per man-hour in terms of crude ore mined over the years, there has
not been a corresponding increase in terms of recoverable metal pro
duced. The output of recoverable ore per mae.-»hoor dopeids on the
quality of ore mined and the efficiency of the concentrating, smelt
ing, and refining processes; and. over the years, the percentage of
recoverable metal in ore has declined. This deterioration in the
quality of ore has been offset by technological, developments in con
centrating, smelting, and refining, and also, by the discovery of
new, richer ore bodies.
Output of usable iron per man-hour was 10 percent higher in 1950
than in 1939 whereas output of crude ore produced per man-hour increased
26 percent i i the same period. The case in copper is even more striking,
i
with an increase of 13 percent in production of recoverable copper per
man-hour and 62 percent in crude ore production. Output per man-hour
of both recoverable .metal and crude ore lead-zinc declined about 5 per
cent between 1339 a 1950. During this period, there were sharp fluc
rid
tuations from year to year in £he productivity of each metal.
Manpower Demand and Supply
To meet defense production goals an estimated 112,000 workers
will be needed in the metal mining industry by 1953, compared with
101,000 in 1950, ] r 1955, total manpower requirements will be 117,000,
$
an increase of 16 percent over 1950. Among the three main types of
mining, the greatest proportionate increase in requirements will be
in copper, followed by lesd-zinc. The smallest- proportionate increase
will be in iron mining.
As the mobilization program progresses, recruitment and main
tenance of adequate manpower in the metal mining industry is expected
to become an increasingly critical problem. The mining industry's
experience during Wortd War II illustrates the seriousness of the
manpower problem.
In the period preceding World War II, metal mining activity
decreased considerably along with the general decline in industrial
activity of the 1930*s As the country began to mobilize, mining
.
employment increased from 102,600 in 1939 to 128,300 in 1941. After
the war started, it became a serious problem to hold the existing
personnel and recruit new workers, although employment still contin
ued to rise. Workers left the mines for jobs with better working
conditions and higher pay in other defense activities, such as ship
yards, airplane factories, and military canps. In addition, many
miners were taken inte the <rned forces.
As the situation became critical, appeals were made to the
miners in the form of personal letters from the War Production and
Selective Service directors requesting the miners to stay on their
jobs, Direct recruiting campaigns for new miners were conducted in
many parts of the country. Wages were raised and working hours were
increased. Selective Service deferments were authorized and attempts
were made to keep workers -n their jobs by requiring that a certifi
i
cate of separation be obtained from the tlnited States Employment Service.
In November 1942 and as-ain in Acurust 1943, when the military forces
began to feel the shortage of strategic metals, the Army first fur
loughed. 4,253 and then an additional 4,546 enlisted men from the ser
vice for employment in metal mines. Despite these measures, the
shortage of mining manpower remained a critical problem to the end of
World War II,
Today it is much more difficult to recruit and hold workers
than it was in the period immediately preceding World War II, There
are virtually no reserves of unemployed workers such as were avail
able in 1940 and 1941, S\irthejr, the industry now has a higher pro-*
portion of workers who ere likely to leave the mines when the outside
4*5 market is good. In the past, a largre proportion of the miners
^
In certain types of mines were foreign born men who, once in the nines,
tended to stay there. Younger, native-born ment nany ©f whom have
had experience in the armed forces or in other types of work are more
likely to leave the mines for more pleasant jobs. Moreover, the
groups in the population from which most "extra" workers are drawn
when the labor supply is tight— wo en, teenagers, physically handi
capped, and older workers— are croups which cannot be used in nine
work. State laws forbid the employment of women in mines, except
in a few surface and technical operations. Most States require a
minimum a-ee of 18 for underground mine work. The work is generally
too strenuous for the physically handicapped and older workers who
ere hot accustomed to such labor. Many younsr men physically quali
fied for mine work are also subject to military service.

Section A. Scope of the BLS Employment Series
The Bureau of Labor
Statistics puMishos each month the number of employees In all nonagrlcultural estab
lishments and In the 8 major Industry divisions* mining, contract construction,
manufacturing, transportation gr.d public utilities, trade, 1
'ination, service, and
government. Both all-employee and production-worker employment series are alao pre
sented for 21 major manufacturing groups, over 100 separate raanufneturing Industries,
and the durable and nondurable goods subdivisions. Within nonmanufaoturlng, total
employment information is published for over 3° series. Production worker employment
la al«o presented for most of the industry component# of the mining division.
Table 9 shows production*wsrlcer data for
new industries. These series
are based cn the levels of employment Indicated l>f the 19^7 Census of Manufactures
and have been carried forward by use of the *w®3/a/fmnt changes reported by the BLS
monthly sample of eooperatlng establishmenta, Ti*e9e series ere not comparable with
the data shown In table J since tho latter are adjusted to bench-mark levels indi
cated by social insurance ageuey data through 19*»7,
Hours and earnings information for manufacturing and selected
nonmanufacturlng industries are published monthly in the Hours and Earnings industry
Report and in the Monthly Labor Review.
Section B, Definition of Bnt»loyment - For privately operated
establishments in the nonagrlcultural industries the BLS employment information
covers all full- and part-time employees whn were on the pay roll, i.e., who worked
during, or received 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 *f the month; .in State and local governments, during the pay
period ending on or Just before the last o . the month. Proprietors, self-employed
f
persons, domestic servants, unpaid family workers, and members of the armed forces
are exaluded from the employment Information.
Section C, Comparability With Other Employment Data * The Bureau of Labor
Statistics employment series differ from the Monthly Report on the Labor Force In the
following respectsj (1) The BLS series are based on reports from cooperating estab
lishments, while the MRLF is based on employment Information obtained from household
Interviews; (2 ) 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
MRLF; (5) the BLS information covers all full- and part-time wage and salary workers
In private nenagrlcultural establishments who worked during, or received pay for, the
pay period ending nearest the 15 th of the month; in Federal establishments during the
pay period ending Just before the first of the month; and in iitate and local govern
ment during the pay period ending on or Just before the last of the month, while the
MRLF series relates to the calendar week which contains the 8th day of the month; ( *
*)
proprietors, self-employed, domestio servants, and unpaid family workers are excluded
from the BLS but not the MRLF series.
Section D. Methodology - Changes in the level of employment are based on
reports from a sample group of establishments, inasmuch as full coverage is prohibi
tively eoatly and time-consuming, In using a sample, It Is essential that a ewoplete
eount or ’bench mark” be established from which the series may be oarrled forward.
’
Briefly, the BLS computes employment data as followst first, a bench mark or level
of employment Is determined; second, a sample of establishments Is selected; and
third, changes In employment indicated by this reporting sample are applied to the
beneh mark to determine the monthly employment between beneh-mark periods, An
• 1 *
illustration of the estimation procedure used in those industries for which both all
employee and production-worker employment Information is published follows: The
latest production-worker employment bench mark for a given industry was 50,000 in
January. According to the 8L3 reporting sample, 60 establishments in that industry
employed 25#000 workers in January and 26,000 in February, an increase of 4 percent.
The February figure of 52,000 would be derived by applying tho change for identical
establishments reported in the January-February sample to the bench mark:
50,000
x Z 6 j0 0 0
„ 52.000
(or
25,000
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
, ££2 (or multiplied by 1 .2 5 ) « 6 5 .00 c.
!&fc
.800
When a new bench 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-to-month changes In employment reflect the fluctuations shown by
establishments reporting to the BLS, while the level of employment is determined by
the bench mark.
The pay-roll index is obtained by dividing the total weekly pay 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 mutiplying gross average weekly
earnings by product!on-worker employment.
Section E. Sources of Sample Data - Approximately 143,000 cooperating
establishments furnish monthly employment and pay-roll schedules, by mail, 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 F. Souroea of Bench-Mark Data - Reports from Unemployment
Insurance Agencies presenting (1) employment In firms liable for contributions to
State unemployment compensation funds, and (2) tabulations from the Bureau of Old*
Age and Survivors Insurance on Employment in firms exempt from State unemployment
insurance laws beoause ef their small size comprise the basio sources of bench-mark
data for nonfarm employment. Host ef the employment data in this report have been
adjusted to levels indicated by these sources for 1947. Special bench marks are used
for Industries not covered by the Social Security program. Benoh marks for State and
local government are based on data ooapiled by the Bureau of the Census* while infor
mation on Federal Government employment is made available by the U. S. Civil Service
Commission. The Interstate Commerce Commission la the source for railroads.
Beach marks for production-worker employment are not available on a regular
basis. The production-worker aeries are, therefore, derived by applying to all
employee bench marks the ratio of production-worker employment to total employment,
as determined from the Bureau's industry samples.
Section 0. Industrial Classification - In the BLS employment and hours and
earnings series, reporting establishments are classified into significant economic
groups on the basis of major postwar product or activity as determined from annual
sales data. The following references present the Industry classification structure
currently used In the employment statistics program,
(1)
For manufacturing industries - Standard industrial
Classification Manual; Vol. I, Manufacturing
Industries, Bureau of the Budget, November 19^5j
(2)
For nonmainufaeturing industries - Industrial
Classification code. Federal Security Agency
Social Security Board, 1942.
Section H. State Employment - State data are collected and prepared in
cooperation with various State Agencies *as Indicated below. The series have been ad
justed to recent data made available by State Unemployment Insurance Agencies and the
Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insuranoe, Sine* some States have adjusted to more
recent bench-marks than ethers, and because varying methods of computation are used,
the total of the State series differs from the national total. A number of States
also make available more detailed industry data and information for earlier periods
which may be secured directly upon request to the appropriate State Agency.
The following publications are available upon request from the BLS Regional
Offices Or the Bureau's Washington Office:
