In July, employment in primary metals was 1,266,000 in the pay period ending the 15th, and was presumed to be 778,000 during the second half of the month. In August, September, and October, the usual method was followed, i.e., employment as of the pay period ending nearest the 15th, was assumed to prevail throughout the month. In November, employment was 1,196,000 in the pay period ending nearest the 15th, and was presumed to hold at this level in the last 3 weeks of the month, but was diminished by 476,000 in the first week of the month, during which time the steel strike was in progress. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Percent of estimated total working time Number (*) (4) .18 (4) (‘) 3.19 (4) 3.26 . 58 .05 (*) .19 (4) (4) If the percentage of time lost were calculated on the basis of ratio of time lost to time worked plus time lost, the percentages would have been 12.12 in primary metal industries and 1.33 in the manufacturing group. 2 Stoppages extending into 2 or more industry groups have been counted in each industry group affected; workers involved and man-days idle were allocated to the respective groups. s Excludes government. * N ot available.
