TREND OF EMPLOYMENT
June 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
important industrial groups of the country and covering the pay
period ending nearest the 15th of the month.
Information for each of the 89 separate manufacturing industries
and for the manufacturing industries combined is shown, following
which are presented tabulations showing the changes in employment
and pay rolls in the 16 nonmanufacturing groups included in the
Bureau’s monthly survey, together with information available con­
cerning employment in the executive Civil Service and on class I
railroads.
Employment in Selected Manufacturing Industries in June 1933
Comparison of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in June 1933 with May 1933
and June 1932

M PLOYM ENT in manufacturing industries increased 7 per­
cent in June 1933 as compared with May 1933 and pay-roll
totals increased 10.8 percent over the month interval. Comparing
June 1933 with June 1932, increases of 9.2 percent in employment
and 9.7 percent in pay-roll totals are shown over the 12-month period.
The index of employment in June 1933 was 62.8 as compared with
58.7 in May 1933, 56 in April 1933, and 57.5 in June 1932; the pay­
roll index in June 1933 was 43.1 as compared with 38.9 in May 1933,
34.9 in April 1933, and 39.3 in June 1932. The 12-month average
for 1926 equals 100.
The percents of change in employment and pay-roll totals in June
1933 as compared with May 1933 are based on returns made by
17,952 establishments in 89 of the principal manufacturing industries
in the United States, having in June 2,802,711 employees whose
combined earnings in one week were $50,408,132.
The gains of 7 percent in factory employment and 10.8 percent in
pay rolls in June mark the third consecutive month in which both
employment and earnings have increased. The increase in employ­
ment in June combined with the increases of 1.6 percent in April and
4.8 percent in May represents a gain of 14 percent in employment
since the bank holiday in March. These combined increases have
brought the level of employment in June to the highest point reached
in the last 15 months and for the first time since October 1929 indicate
more workers on manufacturing-establishment pay rolls in the cur­
rent month than were employed in the corresponding month of the

E




(1 )

2

preceding year. The June 1933 employment index, however, is still
36.8 percent below the level of June in the index base year 1926.
The increase of 10.8 percent in pay rolls in June combined with the
increase of 4.5 percent in April and 11.5 percent in May represents a
total increase of 29 percent over the March low and brings the June
1933 pay-roll index to a point 9.7 percent above the level of June
1932. The pay-roll index in June 1933 remains 56.8 percent below
the level of the June 1926 pay-roll index.
The broadness of the current expansion is indicated by the increases
in employment in 79 of the 89- separate manufacturing industries
surveyed, while 80 industries reported increases in pay rolls over the
month interval. The 10 industries in which decreased employment
was reported between May and June were industries usually affected
by seasonal decreases at this period.
Thirteen of the fourteen groups into which these 89 manufacturing
industries are classified, reported gains in employment and pay rolls
over the month interval, the lumber-products group reporting the
most pronounced gain, 13 percent, due to increases of 15.1 percent in
employment in sawmills, 10.8 percent in furniture, and 9.6 percent in
millwork. The stone-clay-glass and the rubber-products group
reported gains in employment of 11.7 percent each. In the stoneclay-glass group, the brick and cement industries reported gains in
employment of nearly 15 percent and the marble-slate-granite
industry reported a slightly larger gain. In the rubber-products
group, the most pronounced gain was in the rubber tire and tube
industry which reported an increase of 14.7 percent in number of
workers over the month interval coupled with an increase of 26.4
percent in pay rolls. The textile-products group reported an increase
of 10.1 percent in employment and 16.1 percent in pay rolls, the largest
gain in employment in this group being reported in the woolen and
worsted goods industry (23.3 percent). The cotton-goods industry
reported a gain in employment of 15.7 percent, knit goods 7.8 percent,
and silk and rayon goods, 4.9 percent. In the wearing-apparel division
of the textile group gains in employment of 8.1 percent and 9.7 percent
were reported in the men's clothing and the shirt and collar industries,
respectively, while the women's clothing and the millinery industries
both reported seasonal declines. The combined totals of the indus­
tries comprising the iron and steel group showed gains of 9.8 percent
in employment and 22 percent in pay rolls, each of the 13 industries
in this group reporting substantial increases in employment coupled
with more pronounced gains in earnings. The cast-iron pipe industry
reported the greatest increase in employment (19.9 percent) and the
iron and steel industry reported a gain of 9.6 percent in employment
coupled with an increase of 25.1 percent in pay rolls. The machinery
group, under which heading is classified such important industries as
agricultural implements, electrical machinery, foundries and machine
shops, machine tools, radio, and textile machinery, reported an in­
crease of 8.1 percent in employment, the gains in employment in
these separate industries ranging from 5.3 percent in the electricalmachinery industry to 15.6 percent in the textile-machinery industry.
The nonferrous metal group reported an increase of 7.3 percent and
the transportation group reported a gain of 6.4 percent. In this
last-named group, the automobile industry reported increases of 8
percent in employment and 7.1 percent in earnings. The leather-




3
products group reported an increase of 4.4 percent in employment
from May to June due to the combined increases of 10 percent in the
leather industry and 2.9 percent in the boot and shoe industry. The
food group reported a gain of 4 percent in number of employees, the
beverage industry in this group continuing to report substantial
additions to its already greatly expanded total. The level of em­
ployment in the beverage industry in June 1933 measured by changes
in the Bureau’s indexes is 95.9 percent above the level of the corre­
sponding month of 1932, due almost entirely to legalizing the manu­
facture of beer. This is not the only industry in which expansions
of large proportions have occurred over the year interval, although
in the beverage industry the expansion represents the addition of
new workers to the industry, while in the woolen-goods industry,
for instance, in which employment shows a gain of 89.6 percent from
June 1932 to June 1933, the gain represents a return of employees
to plants previously operated due to recently increased activity.
In this 12-month comparison, the cotton-goods industry also shows
an increase in employment of nearly 60 percent and the rayon industry
shows a gain of 65.8 percent in employment over the year interval.
The radio and the silk-goods industries both show increases of 44
percent over the year interval and 13 additional industries showed
increases of more than 20 percent in employment. In 31 of the 89
industries the level of employment in June 1933 was still below the
level of June 1932.
In table 1, which follows, are shown the number of identical estab­
lishments reporting in both May and June 1933 in the 89 manufac­
turing industries, together with the total number of employees on the
pay rolls of these establishments during the pay period ending nearest
June 15, the amount of their earnings for 1 week in June, the percents
of change over the month and year intervals, and the indexes of
employment and pay roll in June 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 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 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.

Time Worked in Manufacturing Industries in June 1933
R e p o r t s as to working time in June were received from 13,848
establishments in 89 manufacturing industries. Three percent of
these establishments were idle, 56 percent operated on a full-time
basis, and 42 percent worked on a part-time schedule.
An average of 90 percent of full-time operation in June was shown
by reports received from all the operating establishments included
in table 4. The establishments working part time in June averaged
77 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 op­
erating 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 June 1933
HE general improvement in the employment situation between
May and June 1933 was also reflected in the nonmanufacturing
industries surveyed monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Increased employment was reported in 13 of the 15 nonmanufacturing
industries appearing in the following table and increased pay rolls
were reported in 10 industries. Data for the building-construction
industry are not presented here but are shown in more detail under the
section “ Building construction.” The increases in employment in
June 1933 in most instances were contrary to the May-June trend in
the preceding years for which data are available, and, while two indus­
tries reported declines in employment, the decrease (8.5 percent)
reported in June in one of these industries (anthracite mining) was not
as pronounced as in previous years while the decrease in employment
in the other (telephone and telegraph) was only 1.3 percent.
The most pronounced gains in employment and pay roll over the
month interval in these 15 nonmanufacturing industries were seasonal
increases in the canning and preserving industry, which reported the
usual sharp May to June pick-up with the beginning of its active
season. The quarrying and nonmetallic mining industry also reported
substantial increases in both employment and pay rolls, which were
partly seasonal. The bituminous-coal mining industry showed
practically no change in employment and the anthracite mining
industry reported a decrease in number of workers. Both of these
industries, however, reported very substantial gains in total weekly
earnings between May and June due to sharply increased production.
Four of these fifteen nonmanufacturing industries, crude petroleum
producing, bituminous-coal mining, dyeing and cleaning, and canning
and preserving reported more employees on the pay roll in June 1933
than in June of the preceeding year.
In the following table are presented employment and pay-roll data
for the nonmanufacturing industries surveyed, exclusive of building
construction.

Per capita weekly earnings in June 1933 for 15 nonmanufacturing
industries included in the Bureau's monthly trend-of-employment
survey, together with the percents of change in June 1933 as com­
pared with May 1933 and June 1932, are given in the table following.
These per capita weekly earnings must not be confused with full-time
weekly rates of wages; they are per capita weekly earnings computed
by dividing the total amount of pay roll for the week by the total
number of employees (part-time as well as full-time workers).

Indexes of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals for Nonmanufacturing Industries
I n d e x numbers of employment and pay-roll totals for 15 nonmanu­
facturing industries are presented in the following table. These
index numbers show the variation in employment and pay rolls by
months, from January 1930 to June 1933, in all nonmanufacturing
industries with the exception of the laundry, dyeing and cleaning,
and the banks, brokerage, insurance, and real-estate industries for
which information over the entire period is not available. The
Bureau has secured data concerning employment and pay rolls for the
index base year 1929 from establishments in these industries and has
computed index numbers for those months for which data are available
from the Bureau’s files. These indexes are shown in this tabulation.

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 May and June 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 groups 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
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 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 report­
ing monthly employment data.

Trend of Employment in June 1933, by States

I N THE following table are shown the fluctuations in employment

and pay-roll totals in June 1933 as compared with May 1933,
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, quarry­
ing 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 fluctu­
ations 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 May
and June 1933 as reported by identical establishments in this indus­
try 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 June 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 June 1933 as compared with May
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.

32
There were 191,113 persons employed in the Emergency Conserva­
tion Corps as a whole on May 31, 1933. By June 30 this number had
increased to 281,454. The pay of the enrolled personnel is $30 per

servation Corps were paid over $9,000,000. Pay-roll data, however,
were not available for either the line or medical Reserve officers.
Employment on Class 1 Steam Railroads in the United States

railroads show that the number of employees (exclusive of
executives and officials) increased from 926,222 on May 15, 1933, to
945,173 on June 15, 1933, or 2 percent. Data are not yet available
concerning total compensation of employees for June 1933. The
latest pay-roll information available shows an increase from
$102,257,898 in April to $108,411,242 in May, or 6 percent.
The monthly trend of employment from January 1923 to June 1933
on class I railroads— that is, all roads having operating revenues of
$1,000,000 or over— is shown by index numbers published 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.

Wage-Rate Changes in American Industries
Manufacturing Industries

I N THE following table is presented information concerning wage-

rate adjustments occurring between May 15 and June 15, 1933, as
shown by reports received from manufacturing establishments supply­
ing employment data to this Bureau. Of the 17,952 manufacturing
establishments included in the June survey 17,546 establishments, or




33
97.7 percent of the total, reported no change in wage rates over the
month interval. The 2,584,762 employees not affected by changes in
wage rates constituted 92.2 percent of the total number of employees
covered by the June trend of employment survey of manufacturing
industries.
Increases in wage rates were reported by 350 manufacturing estab­
lishments in 46 industries, averaging 8.8 percent and affecting 213,444
employees or 7.6 percent of the employees in the establishments con­
cerned, during the period May 15 to June 15. This is the largest
number of establishments reporting wage-rate increases to the Bureau
since January 1930. Increases were reported in such important
industries as cotton goods, w
rhich reported increases averaging 11.5
percent and affecting 76,212 workers, automobiles, boots and shoes,
woolen and worsted goods, and rayon. The increases in wage rates
reported in June represent in practically all instances a partial restora­
tion of former wage scales.
Decreases in w
rage rates were reported by 58 establishments in 24
of the 89 industries surveyed. This is the smallest number of estab­
lishments reporting wage-rate decreases since December 1930 and
represents only 0.3 percent of the total number of establishments
covered. These decreases averaged 9.2 percent and affected 4,505
employees or 0.2 percent of all employees in the establishments
surveyed.
