, , . Employment increases rapidly
Employment in the radio and related products industry*
increased throughout 1950. However, the increase' during the last
3 months of the year was greater than in the previous 9 months
combined. Incroased military orders for electronic, equipment and
greater production of radio and television sets largely accounted
for this sharp employment increase. Increased weekly hours and
earnings accompanied the rise.

* The radio and related products industry manufactures radio and
television receivers* oommercial radio and television equipment,
military radio and radar equipment, and other electronic equipment
and parts. The radio and related products industry and the elertroni®
tube industry together are often spoken of as the electronic industries.

Postwar Enplovnent Trends
During reconversion following World War II, enploy
nent in the radio and related products industry dropned sharply
fron tho 1944 peak when ovor 250.000 production workers had
been engaged in fabricating military electronic equipment.
After reconversion, enploynent again increased until 194*7 when
the industry produced a record output of 20 nillion radio re
ceivers. Enploynent declined sharply in 1948 and 1949* although
the value of radio and television receiver production advanced
considerably. Television set production increased very rapidly
during these 2 years and by 1949 had supplanted radio receivers
as the industry’
s principal product*

The downward trend in enploynent ended in nid-1949 and then
trended steadily upward. However, enploynent has not kept pace
with production in radio and television set manufacturing, although
the disparity was loss pronounced in 1950 than in 1948 and 1949.'
In 1950,' tho industry produced over twice tho 1947 value of out
put with only 10 percent noro workers.
4.
Employment' in the postwar period has increased less
rapidly than production largely because of the introduction
of mass production techniques in television manufacturing and
continued improvement in radio manufacturing teohniques. A
major cause of the rccent employment rise in the radio and
related products industry is the expanded production of military
electronic equipment, in addition to the high radio and television
output.
Production and Record Levels
Electronics production increased steadily during
1950 and at the end of the year was substantially above 194-9.
Television set production during 1950 was two and a half times
1949 production, and radio set production exceeded 1949 levels
by 25 percent. An estimated 14.6 million radio sets and 7.4
million television sets ware manufactured in 1950, and the
1950 value of manufacturers* sales was greater than in any peace
time year.

During tho first 6 nonths of 1950, monthly television sot
production was fairly stable. However, following the normal drop
in July during the industry’
s vacation period, production increased
rapidly until November. The increase in October was particularly
sharp and almost as many television sots wore produced in the 4
weeks reported for that month as in the 5 weeks reported for September.
Radio set production advanced even more sharply during October,
Television and radio receiver production declined only moderately
during November and December despite increasing shortages of materials
and components. In spite of the combined effect of the television
set excise tax, consumer credit restrictions, and the color tele
vision controversy, television receiver sales continue at record
levels.
5.
Production of other cloctronics products also increased
in 1950 although the dollar volume is not available. Radio and
television receivers still compose by far tho largest part of
electronics output. Military deliveries havo increased rapidly
but the full inpact of military procurement will not be felt
until lato 1951t Connercial electronic equipment nanufacturing
has also expanded moderately. Since around three-quarters of
tho parts and electron tube output normally goes into finished
equipment (of which radio and television sets make up by far the
greater proportion) production of parts and oloctron tubes oust
have oxpandod with radio and television sot production. The
total value of output of all products conbincd nay bo over twothirds of the industry’
s wartime production record of 3.5 billion
dollars in 1944.
Location of Employment
Electronics production and employment is heavily
concentratcd in the Now York, Philadelphia, and Chicago metro
politan areas. In 1947, 80 percent of tho workers in tho radio
and related products industry word employed in six States.

the electron tube industry was oven
in the industrial Northeast. Since the census, production of
electronic specialty oquipnont has increased in California and in
certain other aircraft manufacturing aroas. California, Massachusetts,
and Illinois had greater employment increases in 1950 than other
States, Pennsylvania had the smallest percentage increase. However,
some of the States with the smaller increases wore already producing
at high levels.

.
A few largo firms manufacture tho mjority of radio
and television sots, eloctron tubes, and commercial and military
equipnent. SevoraJL hundred snail firms produco the balance of
these finished products and produco parts. There is no uniform
manufacturing organization pattern, however} some f i m s make
all typos of products and others only assemble sots or fabricato
parts,
Electronics Labor Force
The groat mjority of workers engaged in nanuf acturing
radio and television sets, parts, and electron tubes arc either
semiskilled or unskilled since those products are usually massproduced on an assembly line, A larger proportion of skilled
workers are required in the production of the more complex
military and commercial oquipnent because it is usually produced
in small quantities and often on a custom basis. Nevertheless,
the groat majority of workers producing military equipnent are
also semiskilled or unskilled. Woncn compose tho greater part
of tho labor force manufacturing electronic products. In
September 1950, 58 percont of plant workers in radio, television,
and related products manufacturing wero women. Radio and tele
vision set and parts nanufacturers employ a greater proportion
of women than do commercial and military equipment nanufacturors.
In March 1950, two-thirds of the plant workers in electron tube
manufacturing were women. This high proportion of women, who
make up one of the chief reservoirs of labor, facilitate expansion
during periods of goneral labor shortage.
Hours and Earnings Increasing
Earnings in electronics manufacturing have traditionally
averaged lower than in manufacturing, owing to the large pro
portion of wonon and the low proportion of skilled workers.

Between States in 1950, average wookly oarnings varied
nore widely than hourly oarnings, usually because of differences
in tho length of the workweek. The trend in hourly earnings was
generally upward during 1950, with a sharp upturn in Sopteribor*
Now Jersey, Indiana, and Now York led in earnings and the lowest
earnings were in Massachusetts. Owing to the television boon,
the radio and related products industries workweek was above 4-0
hotirs throughout 1950 and above the a 11-i.ianufacturing average
until nid-yoar, A noticeable variation in the average workweek
between States is oxaaplified by New Jersey and Illinois, where
tho average workvreek was substantially above 40 hours throughout
1950, and New York and California, where it averaged less than
4-0 hours during tho first 9 months of 1950.
8
Until September, the rising output was achieved by in
creasing employment rather than lengthening the workweek. It is
usually nore economical to add to an unskilled labor force than to
extend the workweek and pay overtine, and this was possible because
a large part of the industryJs production was in labor surplus
areas# However, by Septenber, one of tho principal manufacturing
centers (Chicago) was no longer a labor surplus aroa, and intensi
fied production schedules led manufacturers in almost all areas
to start increasing the workweek. This trend continued in October
and m y go further, as the defense program gains nonontun and
competition for labor increases.
Turn-over Increasing
Turn-over rates i:, tho radio and related products in
dustries increased sharply after June, following the trend in
most durable-goods industries, Separation rates increased nore
rapidly than hiring rates but still remained substantially below
accessions. Ifost separations were voluntary with discharges,
lay-offs, and other separations remaining relatively constant.
Employment Will Continue to Increase
The existing high level of civil production is expected
to continue in early 1951 until the industry exhausts its stocks
of materials and components. Television sot production will
probably continue at tho expense of radio set production during
the conversion to defense production, owing to greater cons\imor
demand for television sots and higher profits from their manu
facture. I&terial shortages have hampered tho radio and television
industry from time to time and will be increased by cutbacks in
essential materials ordered by tho Government. Tho military
electronics program will gain nonontun early in 1951 and progressively
replace civil electronics production in all segments of the industry.
Defense production, although still relatively low, is rapidly in
creasing and is expected to be many times the existing level by
the third quarter of 1951. It will be super-imposed on a reduced,
but still appreciable, civil production. Current industry fore
casts anticipate that television production will drop to half of
late 1950 rates by mid-1951. An even greater reduction in radio
set production is exj>ectod.
Electronics employment will increase for several months
although there may be temporary declines while portions of the
industry are retooling for military production. Military production
requires more skilled metalworking operations than the civilian
branch of this industry. Tho electronic industries will compete
with rapidly expanding metalworking industries in some areas where
there is an acute shortage of certain skilled workers. However,
even with tho expanded military program accompanying the President’
s
declaration of emergency, it is unlikely that the electronics in
dustries will experience serious difficulty obtaining an adequate
supply of semiskilled and unskilled workers who make up the bulk
of their labor force.

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Section A, Scope of the BLS Employment Series - The Bureau of Labor Statistics
publishes each month the number of employees in all nonagricultural establishments and in
the 8 major industry divisions: mining, contract construction# manufacturing, transporta
tion and public utilities, trade, finance, service, and government. Both all-employee and
production-worker employment series are also presented for 21 major manufacturing groups,
over 100 separate manufacturing industries, and the durable and nondurable goods subdivision
Within nonmanufacturing, total employment information is published for nearly 50 series,
Produetion-worker employment is also presented for most of the industry components of the
mining division.
Table 9 shows produetion-worker data for 60 new industries. These series are
based on the levels of employment indicated by the 19^7 Census of Manufactures and have been
carried forward by use of the employment changes reported by the BLS monthly sample of
cooperating establishments. These series are not comparable with the data shown in table 3
since the latter are adjusted to 194-7 levels indicated by data from the social insurance
programs,
Hours and earnings information for manufacturing and selected nonmanufacturing
industries are published monthly in the Hours and Barnlnfts Industry Report and in the
Monthly Labor Review.
Section B, Definition of Employment - For privately operated establishments
in the nonagricultural industries the BLS employment information covers all full- and
part-time employees who were on the pay roll, i.e., who worked during, or received pay
for, the pay period ending nearest the 15th of the month, For Federal establishments the
employment period relates to the pay period ending prior to the first of the month; in
State and local governments, during the pay period ending on or Just before the last of
the month. Proprietors, self-employed persona, domestic servants, unpaid family workers,
and members of the armed forces are excluded 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 respects: (1) The BLS series are based on reports from cooperating establish
ments, while the MRLF is based on employment information obtained from household inter
views; (2) persons who worked in more than one establishment during the reporting period
would be counted more than once in the BLS series, but not in the MRLF; (2) the BLS infor
mation covers all full- and part-time wage and salary workers in private nonagricultural
establishments who worked during, or received pay for, the pay period ending nearest the
15th of the month; in Federal establishments during the pay period ending Just before the
first of the month; and in State and local government 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; (*0 proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic
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 prohibitively
costly and time-consuming. In using a sample, it is essential that a complete count
or "bench mark”be established from which the series may be carried forward. Briefly,
the BLS computes employment data as follows: first, a bench mark or lev^l 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 bench mark to determine
the monthly employment between bench-mark periods. An illustration of the estimation
procedure used in those industries for which both all-employee and produetion-worker
employment Information is published follows: The latest produetion-worker employment
bench mark f o r a given industry was 50,00*0 in January. According to the BLS rep ortin g
sample 60 establishm ents in th a t industry employed 2 5 , 0.00 workers in .Jan u ary and
2 6 ,0 0 0 in February, an in cre a se of
p e rce n t. The Feb ru ary .fig u re -of 52,0 0 0 would be.
derived by applying the change fo r id e n tic a l establishm ents reported in the January
February sample to the bench mark:
50,000 x 26^000 j or ! 04 ).
25,000
52,000
The estim ated all-em ployee le v e l of 65,000 fo r February is then determined by using
th at month’s sample r a t i o ( . 800 ) of production workers to t o t a l employment
2.?.zPm
QS! (o r m u ltip lied by 1 . 25 ) = 65 , 000 .
.800
When a new bench mark becomes a v a ila b le , employment data prepared since the
l a s t bench mark are reviewed to determine i f any adjustment of le v e l i s req u ired . In
g en eral, the month-to-month changes in employment r e f l e c t the flu c tu a tio n s shown by
establishm ents re p o rtin g to the BLS, while the le v e l of employment i s determined by
the bench mat*k.
The p a y -ro ll index i s obtained by dividing the t o t a l weekly pay r o l l f o r a
given month by the average weekly pay r o l l in 1939* Aggregate weekly pay r o l l s fo r a l l
manufacturing in d u strie s combined are derived by m ultiplying gross average weekly
earnings by production-worker.employment.
S ectio n E . Sources of Sample Data
Approximately 1 4 3,000 cooperating
establishm ents fu rn ish monthly employment and p a y -ro ll schedules, by m ail, to the
Bureau of Labor S t a t i s t i c s . In ad d itio n , the-Bureau makes use of data c o lle c te d by
the I n t e r s t a t e Commerce Commission, the C iv il S erv ice Commission, and the Bureau c f

Section F. Sources of Bench-Mark Data - Reports from Unemployment Insurance
Agencies presenting (1) employment in firms liable for contributions to State unemploy
ment compensation funds, and (2) tabulations from the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance on employment in firms exempt from State unemployment Insurance laws because
of their snmll size comprise the basic sources of bench-mark data for nonfarm employment.
Most of the employment data in this report have been adjusted to levels indicated by
these sources for 19^7• Special bench marks are used for industries hot covered by the
Social Security program. Bench marks for State and local government are based on data
compiled by the Bureau of the Census, while Information on Federal Government employment
is made available by the U. S # Civil Service Commission. The Interstate Commerce
Commission is the source for railroads.
Bench marks for production-worker employment are not available on a regular
basis. The production-worker series 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 G. 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 o t activity as determined from annual
sales data. The following references present the industry classificatipn structure
currently used in the employment statistics program,
(1)
For manufacturing industries - Standard Indtytrial
Classification Manual * Vol. I, Manufacturing
Industries, Bureau of the Budget, November 1945;
(2)
For nonmanufacturing Industries - Ijadustrial
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
adjusted to recent data made available by State Unemployment Insurance Agencies
the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance. Since some States have adjusted to
more recent bench marks than others, and because varying methods of computation are
used, the total of the State series differs from the national tot^l. 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:
