Air transportation, tho country's newest transport
industry, is now established as an important form of passenger
travel. During 1949 the industry provided transportation serv
ice for a rocord total of 16 million passengers. The tonnage
of goods shipped by air also reached a new peak.
Employment in the industry in September 1950 was
75-,300, a five-fold increase over the 15,000 employed in 1939,
Employment was about 14,000 less in September 1950 than in
early 1947, however, despite a substantial increase in passenger
traffic between these two dates,

In tho first nine months of 1950, employment has been very stable,
fluctuating narrowly around an average of 74»ff0, Excluded from

Tho decline of ouploymont which occurred botvocn
1946 and 1949 was causod primarily by a contraction fron an
overly optimistic expansion in the first postwar years, Tho
curtailment was accomplished to a largo extent by such M eas
ures as consolidation of ticket solos and reservation activi-»
ties as woll as by reductions in flight crown and oaltitononco
staffs,
Tho operation of aircraft with creator coating capacity
and higher flying speeds and the introduction of improved equip
ment for landings during bad woathor wore among the factors
enabling tho industry to handle liiorc passenger traffic without
increasing employment during 1949 and 1950,
j/ Those oinployoos, of course, sorvo all pianos whether personal,
military, or coE~ioi*cial,

Sinco the network of major and local airlines spans
the continent and roaches to thousands of ccattored communities,
airline employment is spread over the Nation. There are signif
icant concentrations, however, in tho Statos of New York, Cali
fornia, and Florida, These States contain important air termi
nals and offices, and m j o r overhaul base® of many of the leading
airlines. The 10 rain States in air transportation employment
arc shown in Table II*

Passcngor traffic provides tho pain source of revenue
for tho air transportation industry. In 1949* raore than BO
percent of the revenue for tho certificated airlines carno from
this source, with freight, express, and mail accounting for the
remainder, Air travel can bo divided into traffic within tho
United Statos and international traffio. In addition, there
is a distinction between certificated airlines operating regular
schedules on specified routes and the noncortificated airlines*
Certificated airlines operate regular schedules over specified
routes under "certificates of public convenience and necessity”
issued by the Civil Aeronautics Board. The non-cortificatod
linos, often called Mnon-3kods,tt operate undor "letters of
registration'* or other authority of the Board and fly irregular
schedules, Tho non-scheduled linos oporate flights when suffi
cient nuiabors of passongors can be obtained but their schedules
cannot be on a regular basis, according to the regulations of
the Civil Aoronautics Board,

Tho scheduled airlines handle an overwhelming sharo
of the air traffic, accounting for 97 percent of tho revenue
passenger miles in 1949. Tho domestic non-schcdulod lines
concentrate most of their flights over a few high-density
routes such as the Now York-Chicago-Los Angeles transcontinental
route, and tho vacation travel routes between Now York and
Florida, and Chicago and Florida. Table 3 shows the rovonuo
passenger traffic by nonth from 1946 through 1950 for tho
scheduled airlines, Tho total nunber of passenger nilcs fell
off between 1947 and 194-8 but increased between 194-8 and 194-9.
The year 1950 will sot a now nark in revenue passenger riiles.
This general upward trend in the postwar years is in sharp
contrast to the decline which has occurred in other forns of
intor-city comercial passongcr traffic (see Tablo IV).
1/ Noncortificatod airline travel is excluded. Activity of
territorial lines, which is insignificant, is included.

Tho introduction of air-coach sorvico at roducod faros
has undoubtedly contributed to some extent to the increases
shown in 194-9 and 1950. In 1949 coach faro traffic accounted
for about 4 porcont of tho rovonuo passongor milos flown. During
the first 7 months of 1950 coach fare travel accountcd for more
than 12 percent,
Domestic air passenger travel has a marked seasonal
peak during tho summer nonths. This seasonal peak results mainly
from better flying weather and vacation travel. On a yearly
basis, business travel provides tho major volume of traffic for
tho certificated airlinos, according to a survey mado by tho
Civil Aeronautics Eoard in 1949#
Passongor travel on international routes flown by
American lines has also boon steadily increasing (seo Tablo V),
During 1949 the majority of passengers flow on the Caribbean
and South American routes, but in passonger-miles tho traffic
was fairly ovonly divided bctwocn thoso Latin American routes
and trans-Atlantic routos.

Trends in Cargo Traffic
The nest rapidly growing of the several air cargo
services is froight cargo, although tho volume of mail and
express has also increased (soc Table VI). During tho first
8 months of 1950, tho tcn-nilos of froight flown amounted to
71 million compared to 58 million during tho same period in
1949. Although in most certificated airlines tho transporta
tion of froight is secondary to passenger traffic, there are
four airlines which are exclusively cargo carriers. These
carriers have boon increasing their froight volume more rapidly
than tho rest of the industry. They were "non-skeds" up to
October 194-9, when they acquired certificated status. This
change in classification accounts in part for tho increase in
froight traffic between 194-9 and 195C shown by tho scheduled
airlines as a whole.
Despite tho incroasc in air froight transported,
tho total voluiao romius insignificant compared to tho total
freight traffic of all types of carriers. In 194-9, froight
transported by air anountod to only ,1 porcont of all inter
city froight traffic in tho Unitod States,

Tho heaviest traffic flows of froight arc routed
between California, Texas and Florida, and Now York and Illinois.
A slightly heavier tonnage flows fron Mew York and Illinois to
the southern and western terminals than is shipped oast. In
general, shipments fron tho Now York and Illinois areas wcro
manufactured goods whilo tho inflowo wcro perishables, A groat
part of tho latter wcro flowers and fruit, Sorx of the r.iarmfacturos carried were; apparel, mchinor y parts, auto parts,
and printed natter, Tho expanded defense program m y voll pro
vide increased nood for such high**spood freight transport.
Done-stic air express and mail have also expanded in
the postwar period though net as sharply as air freight (sac
Tabic VII).
On intcrnrtional routes, air express is nost inportant in air cargo transport and has expanded substantially
since 1946. Freight shinnonts arc insignificant.

♦New series; employment data from January 1947 are available upon request.
EXPLANATORY NOTES
Section A. Scope of the BLS Employment Series - The Bureau of Laibor Statistics
publisJaaa 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, tra£e, finance, service, and government. Both all-employee ahd
pr-oduction-wcrker employment series are also presented for 21 major manufacturing groups,
over iDO separate manufacturing industries, and the durable and nondurable' goods subdivisions.
Within nonmanufacturing, total employment Information 16 published for nearly 50 series*
Production-worker employment is also presented for most of the industry components of the
mining division.
Table 9 shows production-worker data for over 50 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 <&ang&s reported by the' BLS monthly sample of
coppei?atl&g .establishments. These stiles are not comparable with the data shown in table 3
sii^/t^^pa'ttfeV'are adjusted to 1947 levels indicated by data from the social insurance
programs *
Hours and earnings information t o r manufacturing and selected nonmanufacturing
industries are published monthly in the Hours and Earnings Industry Report and in the
Monthly Labor R e v i e w .
Section B. Definition of Employment - For privately operated establishments
in the nonagricultural industries the BLS employment information covers all full- and
partTtipie empl^jiees 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 tho
following respects: (1 ) The BLS series are based on reports from cooperating establishm ? nt8,
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 pnce in the BLS series, but not in the MRLF; (3) the BLS infor
mation covers all full- and part-time wage and salary workers in private nonagricultural
establishment^ who worked during, or deceived 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 thfc 8th day of the month; (^) proprietors, self-employed persons, domestic
sei^drit^,
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 p r o h i b i t i v e l y
mostly and time-consuming. In using a sample, it is essential that a complete count
^r “
bench mark1* 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
determined; second a sample of establishments is selected; and third, changes in
employment indicated b y this reporting sample aye applied to the bench mark to determine
the monthly, empa^yment between bench-mark periods. A n 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
- i -
bench mark for a given industry was 50,000 in January# According to the 8 LS 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 JanuaryFebruary sample to the bench mark*
50,000 x
25,000
(or 1 04} • 52,000
The estimated all-employee level of 65*000 for February is then determined by using
that month?* sample ratio (.800) of production workers to total empicymentf
(o r multiplied b y 1*25) =»-65f0QP*
When, a new bench mark becomes available, employment da,ta prepared since the
last bench m ark are reviewed to determine if any adjustment of level is required* In
general, the month-to~mcnth changes iA employment Reflect the fluctuations shown by
establishments reporting to toe BLS, while the level of employment is determined b y
the bench mark.
The pay-roll index is obtained by dividing the total weekly'pay roll for a
given month b y the average weekly p a y roll in 1939 * Aggregate weekly pay rolls for all
manufacturing industries combined are derived b y multiplying gross average weekly
earnings b y .production-worker employment*
Section E# Sources of Sample Bata - Apprpximately 120,000 cooperating
establishments furnish monthly employment and pay-roll schedules, by mail, to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics* In a ddition*.the Bureau makes use of data collected b y
the Interstate Commerce Commission, the Civil Service Commission and the Bureau of the
Census»

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 i*unds, 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 small size comprise the basic sources of bench-mark data- for ncnfaftn 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 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 information on Federal Government employment
is made available by the U. S. Civil Service Commission* The Interstate Commerce
Commission is the source for railroads.
Ben c h marks for production^worker employment are not available on a regular
basis. The production-Horker series are, therefore, derived by applying to all-employee
bench marks the ratio of production-worker employment to total employment, as determined
from the B u r e a u ’
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 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 M a n u a l , Vol. I, Manufacturing
Industries, Bureau of the Budget, November 19^55
(2)
For nonmanufacturing industries - Industrial
Classification Cod e , Federal Security .Agency,
Social Security Board, 19^2.
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 and
the Bureau of Old-Age and Survivors Insurance. Since some States have adjusted to
more recent bench marks than others, $nd be-cause varying methods of computation are
used, the total of the State series differs from the national total. A number of
States also make available more detailed industry data a n d i n f o r m a t ion for earlier
periods which-may be secured directly upon request to the appropriate State Agency.
