1 Weighted per cent of change for the combined 89 manufacturing industries, wherein the proper allow
ance is made for the relative importance of the several industries so that the figures represent all estab

are unweighted.
* The amount of pay roll given represents cash payments only; the additional value of board, room, and
tips can not be computed.
An additional group covering employees in banks, brokerage,
insurance, and real-estate offices has been added to the bureau’s
monthly employment survey, and data concerning this group are
presented for the first time in the foregoing summary table.
Data are not yet available concerning railroad employment for
October, 1932. (See section “ Class I steam railroads” for latest
figures reported.)

Per capita weekly earnings in October, 1932, for each of the 17
industrial groups included in the bureau’s monthly trend-of-employment survey, together with the per cents of change in October,
1932, as compared with September, 1932, and October, 1931, 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).

Employment in Selected Manufacturing Industries in October,
1932
Comparison of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in October, 1932, with Sep
tember, 1932, and October, 1931
M PLO YM EN T in manufacturing industries increased 2.4 per
cent in October, 1932, as compared with September, 1932, and
pay-roll totals increased 4.7 per cent over the month interval. Com
paring October, 1932, with October, 1931, decreases of 13.1 per cent
in employment and 27.8 per cent in pay rolls are shown over the 12month period.
The per cents of change in employment and pay-roll totals in October,
1932, as compared with September, 1932, are based on returns made
by 18,211 establishments in 89 of the principal manufacturing indus
tries in the United States, having in October 2,686,577 employees
whose earnings in one week were $46,968,281.
The index of employment in October, 1932, was 59.9 as compared
with 58.5 in September, 1932, 56.0 in August, 1932, and 68.9 in
E
3
October, 1931; the pay-roll index in October, 1932, was 39.9 as com
pared with 38.1 in September, 1932, 36.3 in August, 1932, and 55.3 in
October, 1931. The 12-month average for 1926 equals 100.
In Table 1, which follows, are shown the number of identical estab
lishments reporting in both September and October, 1932, in the 89
manufacturing industries, together with the total number of employees
on the pay rolls of these establishments during* the pay period ending
nearest October 15, the amount of their weekly earnings in October,
the per cents of change over the month and year intervals, and the
indexes of employment and pay roll in October, 1932.
The monthly per cents 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 earnings reported in identical
establishments for the two months considered. The per cents 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 per cents 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.

General Index Numbers of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in Manufacturing
Industries
G e n e r a l index numbers of employment and pay-roll totals in
manufacturing industries by months, from January, 1926, to October,
1932, together with average indexes for each of the years from 1926
to 1931, and for the 10-month period, January to October, 1932,
inclusive, are shown in the following table. In computing these
general indexes, the index numbers of each of the separate industries
are weighted according to their relative importance in the total.
Following this table are two charts prepared from these general indexes
showing the course of employment ana pay rolls for each of the years
1926 to 1931, inclusive, and for the months from January to October,
1932, inclusive.

Indexes of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals for Nonmanufacturing Industries
I n d e x numbers of employment and pay-roll totals for 14 nonmanu
facturing industries are presented in the following table. The index
numbers show the variation in employment and pay rolls in these
groups, by months, from January, 1929, to October, 1932, with the
exception of the laundries and the dyeing and cleaning groups, for
which information over the entire period is not available. The
bureau recently secured data concerning employment and pay rolls
for the index base year 1929 from establishments in the laundries and
the dyeing and cleaning groups, and has computed index numbers
for these two groups, wmch now appear in this tabulation. The
monthly collection of trend-of-employment statistics in these two
groups did not begin until the later months of 1930 and, therefore,
indexes for each month of the entire period are not available.

combined total of all groups does not include building-construction
data, information concerning wrhich 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, quarrying
and nonmetallic mining, metalliferous mining, laundries, and dyeing
and cleaning groups is presented. In this State compilation, the
totals of the telephone and telegraph, power and light, and electricrailroad operation groups have been combined and are presented as
one group— public utilities. Due to the extreme seasonal fluctuations
in the canning and preserving industry, and the fact that during certain
months the activity in this industry in a number of States is negli
gible, data for this industry are not presented separately. The
number of employees and the amount of weekly pay roll in September
and October as reported by identical establishments in this industry
are included, however, in the combined total of “ All groups.”
The per cents of change shown in the accompanying tables, unless
otherwise noted, are unweighted per cents 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 the summary
table are the fluctuations in this industry by State total.
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 pre
sented for any industrial group when the representation in the State
covers less than three establishments.
