Nonfarm employment in December was up by about 900,000 ft<m the level of a
year earlier, mainly because of "ains in defense-related manufacturing
industries and in Federal defense agencies* The 1951 average level of 46*4
million nonfarm employees was the highest achieved in any year, and almost
two and one-half million higher than 1950*

Blast Furnaces, Steel Works, & Rolling Mills
The baaic iron and steel industry closed 1951 with record levels of employ
ment and production. During the year the industry produced 105,133*000 ingot tons
of, steel, the first time in united States history that more than 100,000,000 tons
had been produced in 1 year. Production worker employment in November 1951 was
over 572,000, a gain of 3U,000 over the nuniber employed at the beginning of the
Korean hostilities in June 1950.
The Industry now in the midst of an expansion program, expects to reach an
annual capacity of 120,000,000 tons of steel by the end of 1953* Scrap shortages
In the coming year may result In some temporary drops, but as the industry expands
its capacity, employment is expected to continue its upward trend.
SYNTHETIC
FIBERS
Establishments making synthetic fibers reported employment of 5U,000
wprkters in November, about the same as in November 1950* Output of synthetic
fibers has increased almost continuously since just after World War I when
quantity production of nqgpn began. Currently, production of rayon, nylon, orlon,
and other synthetic fibers is at an all-time peak. Employment has not expanded
as rapidly as production. Since 1939# production has increased 253 percent, but
employment only 23 percent. Consequently, the output per man-hour has risen
1S6 percent, one of the greatest gains in industrial productivity recorded In the
last decade*
In recent years, synthetics have made major inroads in all of the major
textile fields, to addition to their continually growing acceptance in clothing
and home furnishings, industrial uses have increased greatly. The use of
synthetics in tire cord, for example, has increased over 300 percent since 1939#
Military requirements take about 10 percent of total production} exports were at
an all-time peak in 1950, accounting for 10 percent of the output. Imports of
special types of synthetics were also at an all-time high, but were far smaller
than exports.
The South Atlantic States account for three-fourths of total employment.
In 195l» there were 62 plants in the industry, all east of the Mississippi.

A IR C R A FT
Employment in the aircraft manufacturing industry (air frames only) totaled
36$>000 in November 1951# This represents more than a doubling of the 170,500
employed in June 1950. Expansion of the workforce will continue and employment
will probably reach a peak by the middle of 1953.
Production schedules have been extended over a longer period than was
previously planned in order to keep in line with anticipated engine shipments.
As a result, peak shipments of completed aircraft will probably occur in the
letter part of 1953 • Backlogs of aircraft on order in September 1951 were more
than, double the June 1950 level and were particularly concentrated in establish
ments located in California, New York, Washington, Kansas, and Maryland.
PETROLEUM
REFINING
Employment in petroleum refining has increased over lU percent since the
outbreak of the Korean conflict. In November 1951 about 215,000 wage and salary
worker's were employed by the Nation*s 325 refineries* Over the same period,
production (crude runs to stills) increased approximately lU percent, to a
dally average of 6,UU6,000 -barrels in October, 1951.
Since the outbreak of hostilities in Korea operating capacity has
increased about 6 percent, from 6,1*21,000 barrels daily in Jupp. 1950 to 6,795,000,
in October 1951$ at the same time, the industry^ operating ratio increased from
88.1 to 9U.9. (Operating ratio is derived by dividing daily runs to stills by
total installed capacity.) increasing employment is expected during the next
2 years. A large building program is now under way in the industry and daily
refining capacity is expected to increase by 1 million barrels (about 15 percent)
between January 1, 1951, and January 1, 195U.
GENERAL INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY
Employment in the general industrial machinery industry, which produces such
products as power-transmission equipment, pumps, compressors, and industrial
furnaces and ovens, increased about 32 percent during the first 16 months of the
Korean conflict. Production-worker employment rose from 130,100 in June 1950 to
172,bOO in November 1951. During this period the industry experienced a steady
^growth with increases in the output of all products, In recent months the
proportion of goods earmarked for defense uses has grown steadily.
Material shortages will limit further production expansion, and employment
is likely, to drop somewhat in the"first part of 19$2. Metals allocations to the
industry for the first quarter of 1952 were below fourth-quarter 1951 allotments,
and further c^ts are expected in the second quarter* There are differences in
the outlook for the various ports of the industry* Employment is expected to
decline in plants producing pumps and compressors, elevators and escalators#
'conveyors, industrial fans and ,
blowers, and industrial trucks, On the other
hand, some increase in employment is expected in power-transmission equipment
and mechanical stoker producing plants*

Aircraft engines ere now being developed and produced.for

of turbo-jet and turbo-prop engines also are required* Hew assembly

jet engines ro-.nired r.nd in addition to provide capacity for large
scale production in the event of a full emergency, Present facili
ties for producing recriprocating engines iaust be expanded to meet
production tfoald *'or t'lls type of engine.
Jet engines are being ordered In greater volune tlian
reciprocating engines for several reasons# Jet potter plants have
not/ generally superseded the reciprocating encine in fighter planes*
The same trend Is current In bonbers* Horeover, jet planes reqtdre
at least tx/o or three tines as many spc.ro engines as do pistonpoxrered planes* Overhaul tine -or jet engines occxirs after 150-200
hours of operation compared xrith about 1,000 hours for reciprocating
engines* Ivxtheruore, all major overhauls of jet engines are nr.de
in the United states* This requires the transportation of engines
to" and from the widely scattered foreign military bases, of the United
States, The Increased number of engines used per plane requires
additional jet ant' other type engines* During Vorld \lc .r II, multi
engined planes liad 2 or A engines* Today the;1’pften have 6 or 8 and
1 bomber in current use haa 10 engines * More tx.dn-engined fighters
also are In operation today.
The lnc'ustry hfcs Accelerated prodxustion as quickly as
possible to meet the need for this Increased volume of engines* But
the huge jet production program is highly dependent on nexr facili
ties, and is not yet fully underway* Besides the time consumed In.
new construction, there lias been a delay in obtaining necessary
machine tools* Expansion 1ms also been hindered by a shortage of
skilled manpower xjhich xilll probe.bly be intensified over the .next
year*
The aircraft ehgino industry consisted of approximately
60 imnufacturlng establishments before the rearmament program began*
Mine of these employed 1,000 or more employees* Only five estab
lishments produced complete engines for large aircraft. Of these
five,' three *• Pratt and ’Mtney, "..right /.eronautical Corporation,
and the Allison Division of General iiotors - were producing engines
in 194.0, The othet1 two, General Electric and ’."estinghouse Hlectrio
Corporation, entered the Industry tov/ard the end or after .the war
and specialized in jet engine production*
In June 1950, most of the industry xzas concentrated on
the Bast Coast in the States of Connecticut, liassachusetts, Hew
Jersey and Pennsylvania* Indiana and Oliio contained other important
11
engine-manufacturing centers, although a skcII concentration existed
in California. The industry lied a similar geographic distribution
in 1940 when about .85 percent of its employment vets concentrated along
the Bast Coast, The State of Indiana alno vas a center of production
at that time,. During Vorld Me.r II, the industry beerwe lesd highly
concentrated. By 1943* only 30 percent of the indu3try*s employment
was on the Hast Coast, On the other hand, mdiigan and Ohio, which
had had oily about 2 to 5 percent of engine employment in 1940,
increased their share to 3d percent. This reflected the large con
version of the automobile industry to aircraft engine production.
The current rearmament program is responsible for a* simi
lar shift in the distribution of employment. It is anticipated that
xdthin a year, i&chigan and Ohio will again be major enginemanufacturing centers and that Connecticut, Hew Yorlc, Illinois,
Indiana, and New Jersey also will show substantial gains in engine
employment. Automobile manufacturers which are again producing
aircraft engines are not, as in Vorld. ’.iar II, converting theiir eidsting plants, but for the most part they are building new. facilities
or reactivating \/artir:\e plants , This is in accord with the national
policy of saintaining as much civilian production as possible during
the rearmament*

Trends in Empl->vmont and Shipments
Employment in the aircraft engine industry lias generally re
flected the military aircraft need’s of the United States. During 1939,
employment averaged only 11,300* Ungine shipments totaled 11,170 and
the major share of these were srall liorsepoi/er models for light
civilian planes, Uovlti ’.hr II caused a vast e:;xnsion in the industry*
By 1944# employment averaged. 33C,.000, and. the aircraft engine industry
shipped'257,000 reciprocating enginesThe industry also manufactured
a very small number of jet engines.
Employment dropped sharply in 1946 as a result of the
almost complete disappearance of military orders. The average of
47 ,‘600 workers for 1946 was, hovrever, more than four times the prewar
level. It varied little from this level until the outbreak of-hos
tilities in Korea, (See Table 1.)
The demand, changed, for types of engines produced between
1946 and. 1950. In 1946, the greatest demand was for small engines
for light civilian aircraft. This reflected the early postwar boom
in the production of personal airplanes (those for fei/er than 4
passengers). After a couple of years, the demand for small engines
declined sharply. The importance of the jet engine has grown slowly
and steadily since 1946, In that year, jets comprised 35 percent of
total military engine shipments. By 1949, however, the proportion
had increased to 63 percent, arid, it is still increasing, (See Table

Employment lias risen sharply since June 1950 as a result
of the defense, program. In November 1951, 106,600 workers were
employed in the industry. This figure does not include employment
in all of the new and converted plants that have entered jet produc
tion, The full dnpcvct of these additions v/ill begin to appear in
the first half of 1952.
In World Var II, women conprised 30 percent of the work
force during peal: engine employment. After the var, the employment
of women dropped shsyply;. however, since hostilities began in Korea,
there lias been a small increase and the proportion of v/otien employed
in the industry rose, from 13 percent in June 1950 to 17 percent in
October 1951, The increase was greatest in Connecticut and
California,
The large expansion in jet engine manufacturing may per
mit a substantial Increase in -the employment of women. The trend in
piston engine production is toward heavier and. more exacting work
and, thus is a limited area for.increased use of women. On the other
hand, jet production requires nore sheet metal work which offers jobs
more suitable for women.

Employment (fotloofe
By the ftidc’le t>f 1953# aircraft engine- employment may
double the 106,600 reported for ifovenVoer 1951. 1'his* estimate
includes only plrntr, classified in the industry une'er*the Standard
Industrial Classification: Coc-6»and does not include’employment in
some plants manufacturing* aircraft engine accessories. For esmmple,
employment in plants ma?-ng mgiietop, spark. plugs',* electric starters,
and plsttin rings ie-clasoified* in the autbiedbilfe-industry' because
these plants: supply* similar items to autohebile n»nefaeturcrs> Plants
primarily engaged in casting or foiling engine p£rts-are*eli*.ssi‘
fied in
the foundry And forgings industries*
Skeleton, staffs for .jiiany of the plants •currently-eoming
into operation consist of workers jfcing transferred from- existing
plants,* The'bull: of manpower needs, however, met be satisfied from
local labor supplies • The net/,plants in iIchigan and Ohio will be
able to#Sire;eor.e workers from* the manpox/er T?00! ‘available because of
the reduced automobile assembly activity* In areas of labor shortage,
plants vdll have to increase their employment of women and lengthen
the scheduled workweek.
Actual labor needs of the industry ere somewhat greater
that) the difference between current and projedttid. employment figurese
Maintenance of any specific level of employment requires continuing
replacement of a certain number of workers who leave their Jobs for
various reasons. Currently, the quit rate in the aircraft engine
Industry is about the same as the rate for all durable goods indus
tries f (See Table 3*) However, it is somewhat above the level that
prevailed during the 1941 and 1942 period, of expansion. In any

period of heavy
"quits" tend to

increase as people leave their jobs to accept alterna
opportunities or because they find themselves unadapta

EXPLANATORY NOTES
Section A. Scope of the BLS Employment Series - The Bureau of Labor
Statistics publishes each month the number of employees In all nonagrlcultural estab
lishments and In the 8 major Industry divisions: mining, contract construction,
manufacturing, transportation and public utilities, trade, finance, service, and
government. Both all-employee and productlon-worker employment series are also pre
sented for 21 major manufacturing groups, over 100 separate manufacturing industries,
and the durable and nondurable goods subdivisions. Within nonmanufacturing, total
employment information lq published for over 50 series. Production worker employment
Is also presented for most of the industry components of the mining division.
Table 9 shows productlon-worker data for 60 nev industries. These series
are based on the levels of employment indicated by the 1947 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 bench-mark levels indi
cated by social insurance agency data through 1947.
Hours and earnings Information for manufacturing and selected
nonmanufacturing industries are published monthly in the Hours and Earnings Industry
Report and in the Monthly Labor Review,
Section B. Definition of Employment - For privately operated
establishments in the nonagrlcultural 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
persons, 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 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 once In the BLS series, but not in the
MRLF; (3) the BLS information covers all full- and part-time wage and salary workers
in private nonagrlcultural 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 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; (4)
proprietors, self-employed, 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 prohibi
tively costly and time-consuming. In using a sample, it Is essential that a complete
count or "bench mark11 be established from which the series may be carried forward.
Briefly, the BLS computes employment data as follows; 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
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 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 BLS 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 the change for identical
establishments reported in the January-February sample to the bench mark:
50.000 x 26,000
J (or 1.04) . 52.000
The estimated all-employee level of 65*000 for February la then determined by using
that month's sample ratio (.800 ) of production workers to total employment
52,000
3 q0 (or multiplied by 1.25) - 65 ,000 .
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-rqll 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 multiplying gross average weekly
earnings by product1on-wprker employment.
Section B. 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 P. Sources of Dench-Mark Date - Reports from Unemployment
Insurance Agencies presenting U) employment In firms liable for contributions to
State unemployment compensation funds, and (2) tabulations from the Bureau of OldAge and Survivors Insurance or. Employment in firms exempt front State unemploymonc
Insurance lavs because of their srall sine comprise tho basic sources of be.ieti-marl:
data for nonfarm employment. Most of thu employment data in this report have been
adjusted to levels indicated by these fourees for 19^7. Special bench marks are used
for industries not 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 infor
mation on Federal Government employment is made available by the V. S. Civil Service
Commission. The Interstate Coameroe Conalsslon is the sourco for railroad.!.
Bench marks for productlon-vcrker employment are not available on a regular
basis. The production-worker aeries are, therefore, derived by applying to all
employee bench mr'cs the ratio cf product!on-i.orkor 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 1945;
(2) For nonmanufacturing Industries - Industrial
Classification Code, Federal Security Agency
Social Security Board, 1942.
Scction 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 Stato Unemp3.oyrent Insurance Agencies and 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 total, A r.umbor of States
also make available more detailed Industry data and information for earlier periods
willcli may be secured directly upon request to the appropriate State Agency.
