Gains were reported in all major groups of nonagricultural employment except mining. Factory employment showed a rise of about 30,000 from May to June, although it usually declines about 60,000 at this season of the year. Approximately 80,000 more workers were employed on public and private construction work in June than in the preceding month and about 35,000 were added by utility and transportation companies. Retail and wholesale trade employment increased by 34,000 and the financial, service, and miscellaneous industries absorbed 28,000 additional workers. Employment in the Federal, State, and local government service, including navy yards and arsenals, and the armed forces of the United States, was about 57,000 higher than in the preceding month. In the group of mining industries there was a net decline of about 7,000 workers, due to seasonal recessions in anthracite and bituminous coal mining. Metal mines, quarries, and crude-petroleum producing firms reported gains over the month interval. These figures do not include emergency employment which decreased 317,000, as follows: 255,000 on projects operated by the Work Projects Administration, 26,000 on the out-of-school work program of the National Youth Administration, and 36,000 in the Civilian Conservation Corps. Industrial and Business Employment Employment gains from May to June were shown b}^ 51 of the 90 manufacturing industries surveyed and by 12 of the 16 nonmanufacturing industries covered. Pay rolls were larger in 53 of the manufacturing and 12 of the nonmanufacturing industries. The employment gain of 0.4 percent or about 30,000 workers in manufacturing industries as a whole was accompanied by a gain of 1.7 percent or approximately $3,200,000 in weekly pay rolls. Warmaterials industries continued to expand their operations. Among (1) them was aircraft manufacturing with a gain of 5,300 workers over the month interval and 46,500 workers when compared with the average for 1937. The corresponding gains for shipbuilding were 2,500 and 26,300, for engine manufacturing 2,900 and 17,500, for machine-tool manufacturing 2,200 and 17,600, for aluminum manufacturing 500 and 3,300, and for explosives 500 and 2,100. In other lines of manufacturing activity, employment in June was generally below the peak months of 1937. Among other manufacturing industries affected directly or indirectly by war orders were the steel industry with 21,100 more workers in June than in May, the woolen and worsted goods industry with 6,900 more workers, the men's clothing industry with 6,300 more workers, and the electrical machinery industry with 3,100 more workers. A seasonal gain of 32,800 wage earners was shown by the canning industry, and smaller but substantial seasonal gains were shown by the ice cream, beverage, and tin-can industries, as well as by a number of building-material industries. The most pronounced losses in manufacturing employment over the month interval were seasonal in character and were shown by automobile plants (20,200 workers), women's clothing firms (18,500 workers), cotton mills (8,400), fertilizer plants (7,500), hardware firms (7,400), and plants engaged in dyeing and finishing textiles (4,500). Wage-rate increases affecting nearly 27,000 factory wage earners were reported in June by 87 cooperating establishments. These wagerate increases affected over 6,000 workers in the shipbuilding industry, more than 5,000 workers in the paper and pulp industry, over 4,000 in the electrical-machinery industry, over 2,000 in the rayon industry, about 1,500 in the chemical industries, over 1,000 in engine plants, and a like number in beverage establishments. As the Bureau's survey does not cover all establishments in an industry and some firms may have failed to report wage changes, these figures should not be construed to represent the total number of wage changes occurring in manufacturing industries. In retail stores, the employment gain of 0.3 percent was accompanied by a pay-roll increase of 1.2 percent. Department stores increased their staffs by 0.9 percent while variety stores reported a small employment loss (0.4 percent). Employment in groceries remained virtually unchanged. Men's clothing stores took on 6.6 percent more employees; shoe stores, 5.7 percent; fuel and ice dealers, 4.7 percent; and dealers in dairy products and milk, 2.5 percent. Stores handling feed and other farm supplies decreased employment seasonally by 5.8 percent, and women's ready-to-wear clothing by 2.4 percent. The employment gain of 0.5 percent in wholesale trade reflected the increase in employees of dealers in various important wholesale lines including food, groceries, farm products, and petroleum. In lumber and building materials, the increase of 5.2 percent was materially higher than the average June increase for the past 6 years, and also higher than the June 1937 gain of 3.1 percent. Dealers in iron and steel scrap increased employment contraseasonally by 6.3 percent and firms handling metals and minerals took on 1.5 percent more employees. Employment in anthracite mines decreased seasonally between midMay and mid-June by 3.9 percent but slightly increased production raised pay rolls by 1.6 percent. Bituminous coal mines decreased both employment and pay rolls by 1.7. percent. In metal mines, gains in emplojnnent and pay rolls of 1.8 percent and 1.6 percent, respectively, reflected better-than-seasonal activity. Increased wage rates affecting 2,000 workers in lead and zinc mines were reported by cooperating firms. The employment and pay-roll indexes for metal mining, 70.4 percent and 66.8 percent, respectively, of the 1929 averages, reached the highest points since the latter months of 1937, the pay-roll index standing 24 percent above the level of June of last year. Quarries reported the usual June increase in number of workers (1.7 percent) and employment in the oil fields registered a slight gain (0.9 percent). In the utilities, the increases of 0.9 percent in telephone and telegraph and 0.8 percent in electric light and power personnel were slightly more pronounced than is usual in June. Pay rolls in these two industries have been maintained at a relatively higher level than employment, the pay-roll gains of 0.1 percent in the telephone and telegraph industry and 0.9 percent in the electric light and power industry raising the respective indexes to 98.9 percent and 105.1 percent of the 1929 average. The current employment levels are substantially lower than the pay-roll levels. Small employment and pay-roll gains were reported for street railways and busses. Early summer losses of 2.3 percent in employment and 1.5 percent in pay rolls occurred in year-round hotels. Better-than-seasonal gains in employment were reported by laundries (3.5 percent) and dyeing and cleaning plants (3.4 percent). The employment indexes of both industries were higher than the 1929 averages. Slight decreases in personnel and pay rolls occurred in brokerage firms while insurance companies took on 0.6 percent more employees. Employment in the private building industry showed an increase of 5.1 percent from May to June, according to reports from 15,307 contractors employing 164,725 workers. Weekly pay rolls increased 5.0 percent. Compared with June 1939, employment was 9.3 percent and pay rolls 13.1 percent higher. Eight of the nine geographic divisions showed employment gains over the month interval, and one, the East South Central, showed an employment decline. The strongest gains were registered in the East North Central, South Atlantic, and Mountain States. Employment by general building contractors increased 8.9 percent and by special trade contractors 2.3 percent. Firms engaged in plumbing, brick and stone masonry work, tile and terrazzo work, structural steel erection, and glazing, continued to increase employment in June. Curtailed employment following strong spring activity was registered by carpentering, excavating, and painting and decorating contractors. The reports on which the building construction figures are based do not cover construction projects financed by the Work Projects Administration, the Public Works Administration, and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, or by regular appropriations of the Federal, State, or local governments. A preliminary report of the Interstate Commerce Commission showed an employment gain by class I railroads of 2.2 percent or nearly 22,300 workers between May and June. The total number employed in June was 1,035,079. Corresponding pay-roll figures were not available when this report was prepared. For May, they were $160,733,166, an increase of 3.4 percent since April. Hours and earnings.—The average hours worked per week by manufacturing wage earners were 37.5 in June, a gain of 0.8 percent since May. The corresponding average hourly earnings were 67.2 cents, an increase of 0.4 percent from the preceding month. The average weekly earnings of factory workers were $25.79, an increase of 1.2 percent since May. Of the 14 nonmanufacturing industries for which man-hours are available, 8 showed gains in average hours worked per week and 11 showed gains in average hourly earnings. Eight of the sixteen nonmanufacturing industries surveyed reported gains in weekly earnings. Employment and pay-roll indexes and average weekly earnings for June 1940 are given in table 1 for all manufacturing industries combined, for selected nonmanufacturing industries, and for class I railroads. Percentage changes over the month and year intervals are also given.

Maritime Commission. 2 3 4 254083—40- Public Employment In contrast with employment on other construction programs, the number of men at work on construction projects financed from Public Works Administration funds decreased in the month ending June 15. Approximately 92,000 workers, a decrease of 6,000 from the month ending May 15, found employment on P. W. A. projects during the month. Pay roll disbursements of $9,305,000 were $638,000 less than in May. As a result of the beginning of work on a number of new projects, contractors on low-rent projects of the United States Housing Authority were able to give employment to an additional 6,000 buildingtrades workers in the month ending June 15. Wage payments of $4,955,000 to the 50,000 workers employed were $337,000 greater than in May. Although almost all types of projects showed employment gains in the month ending June 15, the seasonal increase on public road projects was largely responsible for a gain of 24,000 on construction projects financed from regular Federal appropriations. The 300,000 men employed on all projects financed from regular funds were paid $31,819,000, or $1,641,000 more than payments in the preceding month. The number of men employed on construction projects financed by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation rose about 200 in the month ending June 15, bringing the number employed to 2,100. Pay rolls for the month were $260,000. Because of budgetary restrictions, employment on work relief projects of the Work Projects Administration was curtailed to 1,583,000 in June, a decrease of 255,000 from May. Wage payments of $96,545,000 to workers on these projects were $13,596,000 less than in May. The number of persons at work on Federal Agency projects under the Work Projects Administration, however, increased 11,000 in June. The out-of-school work program of the National Youth Administration furnished employment to 26,000 fewer persons in June and, because of the end of the school year in many colleges and universities, the number of students employed on the student work program decreased 163,000. With the end of an enlistment period, employment in camps of the Civilian Conservation Corps dropped 36,000 in June. Of the 275,500 on the pay roll, 244,600 were enrollees; 1,500, educational advisers; 200, nurses; and 29,200, supervisory and technical employees. In the regular services of the Federal Government increases were reported in the executive, military, and legislative services, while a decrease was reported in the judicial service. Of the 1,011,000 employees in the executive service, 134,000 were working in the District of Columbia and 877,000 outside the District. Force-account employees (employees on the pay roll of the United States Government who are engaged on construction projects, and whose period of employment terminates as the project is completed) were 9 percent of the total number of employees in the executive service. Employment on State-financed road projects was up 15,000 in June. Of the 190,000 on the pay roll, 56,000 were engaged in the construction of new roads and 134,000 on maintenance. Pay-roll disbursements for both types of road work were $13,450,000. A summary of Federal employment and pay-roll data for June is given in table 2.

W. A. projects financed from National Industrial Recovery Act funds, Emergency Relief Appropriation Acts of 1935, 1936, and 1937 funds, and Public Works Administration Appropriation Act of 1938 funds are included. These data are not shown under projects financed by the Work Projects Administration. Includes 7,456 wage earners and $716,866 pay roll for June 1940; 7,735 wage earners and $767,603 pay roll for May 1940, covering Public Works Administration projects financed from Emergency Relief Appropriation Acts of 1935, 1936, and 1937 funds. Includes 81,254 wage earners and $8,299,485 pay roll for June 1940; 86,968 wage earners and $8,848,178 pay roll for May 1940, covering Public Works Administration projects financed from funds provided by the Public Works Administration Appropriation Act of 1938. * Includes 1,078 employees and pay-roll disbursements of $162,325 for June 1940; 862 employees and pay-roll disbursements of $135,048 for May 1940 on projects financed by the RFC Mortgage Co. The value of material orders placed on projects financed from regular Federal appropriations during the second quarter of 1940 amounted to $128,933,000. Approximately 242,000 man-months of labor were involved in the final fabrication of these materials. On P. W. A. projects orders were placed for $42,624,000 worth of materials, for which it is estimated 88,000 man-months of labor were required in final fabrication processes. 8 The value of material orders placed on the various programs financed by Federal funds during the second quarter of 1940, the first quarter of 1940, and the second quarter of 1939, and the man-months of employment created in the final fabrication of the materials used are shown in table 3.

The first, "Total nonagricultural employment," given on the first line of table 4, shows the estimated number of persons engaged in gainful work in the United States in nonagricultural industries, including proprietors and firm members, self-employed persons, casual workers, and domestic workers. The second series, which is described as "Employees in nonagricultural establishments," does not include proprietors, self-employed persons, and domestic or casual workers. Neither set of figures includes persons employed on W. P. A. or N. Y. A. projects or enrollees in C. C. C. camps. The estimates for "Employees in nonagricultural establishments" are shown separately for each of seven major industry groups. Tables giving figures for each group, by months, for the period from January 1929 to date are available on request. 9 The figures represent the number of persons working at any time during the week ending nearest the middle of each month. The totals for the United States have been adjusted to conform to the figures shown by the 1930 Census of Occupations for the number of nonagricultural "gainful workers" less the number shown to have been unemployed for 1 week or more at the time of the census. Separate estimates for "Employees in nonagricultural establishments" are shown in table 5 for each of the 48 States and the District of Columbia for May and June 1940 and June 1939. Tables showing monthly figures for each State from January 1938 to date are available on request. The State figures do not include the armed forces of the United States nor employees on merchant vessels. Certain adjustments have been made in the United States estimates which cannot be made on a State basis, and for this reason the total of the State estimates will not agree exactly with the United States figures even if allowance is made for military, naval, and maritime employment. These estimates are based in large part on industrial censuses and on regular reports of employers to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics and to other Government agencies such as the Interstate Commerce Commission. Data derived from employers' quarterly reports in connection with "old age and survivors' insurance," and employers' monthly reports in connection with unemployment compensation have been used extensively as a check on estimates derived from other sources, and in some industries they have provided the most reliable information available.

The reports for the first 2 of these groups—manufacturing and nonmanufacturing—are based on sample surveys by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The figures on water transportation are based on estimates prepared by the Maritime Commission and those on class I steam railroads are compiled by the Interstate Commerce Commission. They are presented in the foregoing summary. The indexes of factory employment and pay rolls are based on the 3~year average 1923-25 as 100 and are adjusted to 1937 census data. They relate to wage earners only and are computed from reports supplied by representative manufacturing establishments in 90 manufacturing industries. These reports cover more than 55 percent of the total wage earners in all manufacturing industries of the country and more than 65 percent of the wage earners in the 90 industries included in the monthly survey of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The indexes for the nonmanufacturing industries are based on the 12month average for 1929 as 100. Figures for mining, laundries, and dyeing and cleaning cover wage earners only, but the figures for public utilities, trade, and hotels relate to all employees except corporation officers, executives, and other employees whose duties are mainly supervisory. For crude-petroleum production they cover wage earners and the clerical field force. The coverage of the reporting samples for the various nonmanufacturing industries ranges from approximately 25 percent for wholesale and retail trade, dyeing and cleaning, and insurance, to approximately 80 percent for quarrying and nonmetallic mining, anthracite mining, and public utilities. The indexes for retail trade have been adjusted to conform in general with the 1935 census of retail distribution and are weighted by lines of trade. For the public utilities they have been adjusted to the 1937 census of electrical industries, for wholesale trade to the 1933 census, and for coal mining, year-round hotels, laundries, and dyeing and cleaning to the 1935 censuses. Data for both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are based on reports of the number of employees and amount of pay rolls for the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month. The average weekly earnings shown in tables 6 and 7 are computed by dividing the total weekly pay rolls in the reporting establishments by the total number of full- and part-time employees reported. As not all reporting establishments supply man-hours, average hours worked per week, and average hourly earnings are necessarily based 12 on data furnished by a smaller number of reporting firms. The size and composition of the reporting sample vary slightly from month to month. Therefore, the average hours per week, average hourly earnings, and average weekly earnings shown may not be strictly comparable from month to month. The sample, however, is believed to be sufficiently adequate in virtually all instances to indicate the general movements of earnings and hours over the period shown. The changes from the preceding month, expressed as percentages, are based on identical lists of firms for the 2 months, but the changes from June 1939 are computed from chain indexes based on the monthto-month percentage changes. EMPLOYMENT AND PAY-ROLL INDEXES, AVERAGE HOURS, AND AVERAGE EARNINGS The indexes of employment and pay rolls as well as average hours worked per week, average hourly earnings, and average weekly earnings in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries in June 1940 are shown in table 6. Percentage changes from May 1940 and June 1939 are also given. The employment and pay-roll indexes, as well as average hours worked per week, average hourly earnings, and average weekly earnings for April, May, and June 1940, where available, are presented in table 7. The April and May figures, where given, may differ in some instances from those previously published because of revisions necessitated primarily by the inclusion of late reports. In table 8, indexes of employment and pay rolls are given for all manufacturing industries combined, for the durable- and nondurablegoods groups of manufacturing industries, and for each of the 13 nonmanufacturing industries, by months, from June 1939 to June 1940, inclusive. The accompanying chart indicates the trend of factory emplo37ment and pay rolls from January 1919 to June 1940.

Cities within these areas, but having a population of 100,000 or over, are not included. Footnotes to the table specify which cities are excluded. Data concerning them have been prepared in a supplementary tabulation which is available on request. The figures represent reports from cooperating establishments and cover both full- and part-time workers in the manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries presented in table 3, with the exception of building construction, and include also miscellaneous industries. Revisions made in the figures after they have gone to press, chiefly because of late reports by cooperating firms, are incorporated in the supplementary tabulation mentioned above. This supplementary tabulation covers these 13 metropolitan areas as well as other metropolitan areas and cities having a population of 100,000 or more according to the 1930 Census of Population.

PURCHASES FROM PUBLIC FUNDS The value of material orders placed on construction projects financed by Federal funds in the second quarter of 1940 is presented in table 20. In the second quarter of 1940 on the Public Works Administration program, orders were placed for materials valued at approximately $42,624,000. Of this amount $11,548,000 was expended for iron and steel products, $8,584,000 for machinery, $6,830,000 for cement and concrete products, and $4,469,000 for forest products. Previous sections of this report have shown the number of workers employed at the site of construction projects financed from Federal funds. The direct employment, however, is only a partial picture, as the manufacture of the materials used on the projects also creates a large amount of employment. Estimates have been made of the man-months of labor created in fabricating the materials used on the various programs (see table 3). The estimates include only the labor required in the fabrication of materials in the form in which they are to be used. No estimate is made of the labor required in producing the raw materials or in transporting them to the point of manufacture. In manufacturing structural steel, for example, the only labor included is that occurring in the fabricating mills; no estimate is made for the labor created in mining, smelting, and transporting the ore, nor for the labor in blast furnaces, the open-hearth furnaces, and the blooming mills. 1 Unless otherwise specified, data presented in this section are as of the loth of the month. 34 The information concerning man-months of labor created in fabricating materials is obtained by sending a questionnaire to eacli firm receiving an award for materials to be financed from Federal or State funds. The manufacturer is requested to make an estimate of the number of man-hours created in his plant in manufacturing the materials specified in the contract. For materials purchased directly by contractors the Bureau estimates the man-months of labor created.. This estimate is based upon the findings of the Census of Manufactures, 1937.

Of the contracts awarded in the second quarter of 1940, $43,004,000 was for transportation equipment; $22,224,000 for asphalt, coal, and petroleum; $14,725,000 for textiles; and $11,380,000 for machinery. Although the value of supply contracts awarded for transportation equipment in the second quarter of 1940 was greater than for any other type of material, it was only slightly more than one-half of the total for the second quarter of 1939. The difference is almost entirely accounted for by a decrease in contract awards for aircraft, aircraft parts, and equipment. Contracts for these materials under the new^ National Defense program wiU not be reflected in this category until the third quarter of 1940. o
