are unweighted.

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
September, 1932
Comparison of Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in September, 1932, with
August, 1932, and September, 1931

M PLO YM EN T in manufacturing industries increased 4.5 per
cent in September, 1932, as compared with August, 1932, and
pay-roll totals increased 5 per cent over the month interval. Com
paring September, 1932, with September, 1931, decreases of 17.5 per
cent in employment and 32.8 per cent in pay rolls are shown over
the 12-month period.
The per cents of change in employment and pay-roll totals in
September, 1932, as compared with August, 1932, are based on returns
made by 18,165 establishments in 89 of the principal manufacturing
industries in the United States, having in September 2,620,867 em
ployees whose earnings in one week were $44,626,055.
The index of employment in September, 1932, was 58.5 as compared
with 56.0 in August, 1932, 55.2 in July, 1932, and 70.9 in September,
1931; the pay-roll index in September, 1932, was 38.1 as compared
with 36.3 in August, 1932, 36.2 in July, 1932, and 56.7 in September,
1931. The 12-month average for 1926 equals 100.

In Table 1, which follows, are shown the number of identical es
tablishments reporting in both August and September, 1932, in the
89 manufacturing industries, together with the total number of em
ployees on the pay rolls of these establishments during the pay period
ending nearest September 15, the amount of their weekly earnings in
September, the per cents of change over the months and year inter
vals, and the index numbers of employment and pay roll in August,
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 em
ployees 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 num
bers 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.

Per Capita Earnings in Manufacturing Industries
P e r capita weekly earnings in September, 1932, for each of the 89
manufacturing industries surveyed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
together with the per cents of change in September, 1932, as compared
with August, 1932, and September, 1931, are shown in Table 2.
These 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 14 nonmanu
facturing industries are presented in the following table. These index
numbers show the variation in employment and pay rolls in these
groups, by months, from January, 1929, to September, 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, which 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.

Trend of Employment in September, 1932, by States
I N THE following table are shown the fluctuations in employment

and pay-roll totals in September, as compared with August, 1932,
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 construc
tion 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, quarrying
and nonmetallic mining, metalliferous mining, laundries, and dyeing
and cleaning groups are 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 fluctua
tions 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 earnings in August
and September as reported by identical establishments in this indus
try 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 sum
mary 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 presented for any industrial group when the representation in
the State covers less than three establishments.

Employment and Pay-Roll Totals in September, 1932, in Cities
of Over 500,000 Population
I N THE following table are presented the fluctuations in employ

ment and pay-roll totals in September, 1932, as compared with
August, 1932, 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
financial institutions, insurance offices, and 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.

Nonmanufacturing Industries
I n t h e following table are presented data concerning wage-rate
changes occurring between August 15 and September 15, 1932, re
ported by firms in 14 nonmanufacturing groups included in the
bureau’s monthly employment survey.
No changes in wage-rates over the month interval were reported by
firms in the anthracite mining group. In each of the remaining 13
groups a number of establishments reported decreases in wage rates.
In eight of these groups (electric railroads, wholesale trade, power and
light, laundries, telephone and telegraph, dyeing and cleaning, crude
petroleum producing, and hotels) the average per cent of decrease in
wage-rates ranged from 7.9 per cent to 11.3 per cent. The average per
cent of decrease reported in the remaining groups was: 13.0 per cent
in retail trade; 16.4 per cent in quarrying and nonmetallic mining;
16.6 per cent in canning and preserving; 20.7 per cent in bituminous
coal mining; and 33.3 per cent in metalliferous mining. An increase in
wage-rates from August to September averaging 10 per cent was re
