Preface
This b u lle tin is the la te s t in an annual series which was nreviously
called Indexes of Output per Man-Hour, Selected In d u stries. The Bureau
is discontinuing the use of the term "man-hour" to id e n tify the labor
component of p rodu ctivity. In th is b u lle tin , "employee-hour" is used in
it s place. However, the underlying concept remains the same. The
b u lle tin updates industry indexes o f output per employee-hour and output
per employee fo r the industries currently included in the U. S. Govern­
ment's produ ctivity measurement program. The data cover the years 1939
and 1947 to 1974. Indexes for the follow in g industries — structural
clay products; copper r o llin g and drawing; gasoline service sta tion s:
and h o tels, m otels, and to u rist courts — are added fo r the f i r s t time.
The selected industries fo r which output per employee-hour indexes
are shown are not n ecessarily a representative cross-section. They
should not be combined, th erefo re, to obtain an o v e ra ll measure fo r the
en tire U.S. economy or fo r any sector. Each index is intended to
represent only the change in output per employee-hour fo r the designated
industry or combination o f in dustries. However, the Bureau of Labor
S ta tis tic s does publish indexes o f output per employee-hour and related
measures fo r the to ta l p rivate economy and fo r major sectors o f the
economy — nonfarm, manufacturing, and nonfinancial corporations. Those
measures show the relationship between gross product o rigin a tin g in the
p riva te economy or in it s major sectors, and employment and hours.
(These data are presented in the Bureau o f Labor S ta tis tic s Produ ctivity
and Costs in the Priva te Economy (q u a r te r ly ), in P rodu ctivity and Costs
in Nonfinancial Corporations (q u a r te r ly ), in the Monthly Labor Review,
and in Employment and Earnings. )
The produ ctivity measures in this b u lle tin describe the
relation sh ip between output in rea l terms and the labor time involved
in it s production. They show the changes from year to year in the
amount o f labor time required to produce a unit of output. Although
these measures re la te output to employment and employee-hours, they do
not measure the s p e c ific contributions of labor, c a p ita l, or any other
fa ctor o f oroduction. Rather, they r e fle c t the jo in t e ffe c t o f a
number o f in te rre la ted in fluences, such as changes in technology; in
cap ital investment per worker; in the le v e l of output; in u t iliz a t io n
of capacity; in layout and flow of m aterial; in managerial s k i l l , and
in s k ills and e ffo r t of the work force.
This b u lle tin was prepared in the Bureau's O ffic e o f Produ ctivity
and Technology by Edwin Adelman, Susan Armore, Michael Broad,
Richard Carnes, John Duke, John F erris, Brian Friedman, Catherine G ilb ert,
John Henneberger, Clyde H u ffstu tler, Barbara Koch, P h y llis Otto,
Elmer Persigeh l, Mary Robinson, James Urisko, and P a tric ia W ilder, under
the direction of Charles A rd o lin i, Horst Brand, John Carey, and
Arthur Herman.

Highlights of Trends in Output Per Employee-Hour
Current developments
Produ ctivity declined between 1973 and 1974 in two-thirds o f the
selected industries presented in this report. Declines were as great
as 11.4 percent fo r the copper r o llin g and drawing industry. Other
copper-based industries had correspondingly large declines, with
primary copper, lead, and zinc fa llin g 11.2 percent, and copper mining
(recoverable metal) dropping 8.2 percent. P rodu ctivity gains were
recorded in only 14 industries in 1974 as compared to 34 in 1973. The
f a l l o f f in output per employee-hour in most industries can be attributed
to the economic downturn in 1974, and is in lin e with the situ ation in
the to ta l p riva te sector o f the economy, which recorded a produ ctivity
decline o f 2.6 percent.
The motor veh icles industry had a p a rtic u la rly bad year in 1974.
Produ ctivity declined 4.4 percent, the largest drop fo r this industry
since the measure was begun in 1957. Output o f automobiles f e l l almost
25 percent from 1973, as demand was poor throughout the year. Produc­
tion o f replacement parts, and trucks and buses declined at a much
lower ra te, and production o f truck t r a ile r s actu ally increased at a
high ra te, resu ltin g in an o v e ra ll drop in output of 16.0 percent.
Employee-hours also had a large decline o f 12.2 percent, as la y o ffs o f
production and nonproduction workers were widespread in the industry.
The s te e l industry posted a small decline in p rodu ctivity of 0.4
percent in 1974. Output was down only s lig h t ly from the industry’ s
record production in 1973. Demand was high in such markets as petro­
leum pipelines and production; other energy related industries such as
coal mining; machine to o ls ; and shipbuilding in 1974. On the other
hand, demand was poor in such markets as motor v e h i c l e s , appliances,
and re s id e n tia l and commercial construction. S teel output actu ally
grew during the f i r s t h a lf o f the year, but f e l l o f f sharply in the
second h a lf, due to the impact of industry maintenance shutdowns and
a strik e in the coal mining industry. O verall, output declined 0.1
percent fo r the year while employee-hours grew 0.3 percent.
Another s ig n ific a n t industry re g is te rin g a decline in produ ctivity
was petroleum re fin in g . Produ ctivity f e l l 5.5 percent, due to a
decrease in output o f 1.8 percent and an increase in employee-hours of
3.9 percent. This was only the second decline in p rodu ctivity fo r
this industry in the past 27 years. The demand fo r petroleum products
f e l l in 1974 as a resu lt o f the recession, sharply increased p rices,
and fu el conservation measures. At the same time, the industry was




1

increasing it s re fin in g capacity, requiring additional employee-hours.
In another energy-related industry, coal mining, produ ctivity dropped
2.0 percent. This was the sixth consecutive decline fo r this industry,
beginning in 1969. Output grew only 1.4 percent in 1974, while pro­
duction worker hours increased at the higher rate of 3.5 percent. The
widespread strik e in this industry in the la t t e r part o f 1974 cut
sharnly into coal output.
The radio and te le v is io n set industry had a very poor year in 1974,
with produ ctivity fa llin g 9.3 percent, the steepest decline since the
measure was begun in 1958. Output dropped 17.3 percent and employeehours f e l l 8.8 percent. Declines were recorded also in the household
appliance, hydraulic cement, and structural clay indu stries. Produc­
t i v i t y f e l l 5.4, 10.5, and 3.4 percent, re s p e c tiv e ly , as these indus­
t r ie s registered sharp drops in output due to the f a l l o f f in home
building and construction a c t iv it y . Among other important industries
with produ ctivity declines were gas and e le c tr ic u t i l i t i e s , 1.7 percent;
hotels and motels, 1.4; paper manufacturing, 1.1; ra ilro a d s, 0.3; and
gasoline sta tion s, 0.2.
Despite the generally poor year o v e r a ll, a number o f industries
had s ig n ific a n t gains in p rodu ctivity in 1974. In paint manufacturing,
output per employee-hour increased 8.1 percent. Output in this indus­
try increased by 5.3 percent as the industry f i l l e d back orders
stemming from the 1973 shortages of petroleum-based m aterials.
The
malt liq u or industry had a gain o f 9.4 percent, based on an increase in
output o f 5.5 percent and a decline in employee-hours o f 3.5 percent.
In telephone communications, produ ctivity advanced 7.1 percent as out­
put increased 8.6 percent, possibly due in part to ris in g tra v e l costs
d ivertin g communications to telephones. Other industries with large
gains were h osiery, with 6.3 percent; metal cans, with 5.9 percent;
and pharmaceuticals, with 5.7 percent.
More modest produ ctivity gains were posted in 1974 by a number of
sig n ific a n t in du stries. A ir transportation advanced by 1.3 percent as
a result o f an output ris e o f only 0.3 percent and a drop in employment
o f 1.0 percent. Tire manufacturing p rodu ctivity increased by 2.6 per­
cent, based on a gain in output of 3.1 percent and an increase in
employee-hours o f 0.5 percent. Production o f truck and agricu ltu ral
t ir e s more than o ffs e t a decline in passenger car tir e s in this indus­
try . P rodu ctivity in s te e l foundries grew by 0.1 percent. Output in
th is industry had a large increase o f 10.3 percent, due in part to a
gain in the manufacture o f parts fo r the petroleum production and
pipelines in du stries, while employee-hours grew by 10.2 percent.
In the bakery products industry, p rod u ctivity increased by 1.6 percent.
Although output decreased 3.9 percent in this industry, employee-hours
f e l l by 5.4 percent, resu ltin g in the p rodu ctivity advance.

Over the short term, changes in produ ctivity are clo s e ly associated
with changes in output. In 1974, two-thirds o f the selected industries
in this study recorded declines in output and more than 85 percent o f
these had declines in produ ctivity also. The employment situ ation was
poor, with only h a lf the industries posting gains in 1974, comnared with
three-quarters in 1973. By contrast, some o f the industries had very
large employment declines in 1974. Some examples, along with th e ir rates
o f decline, include h osiery, 9.9 percent; gasoline service sta tion s, 9.2
percent; motor v e h icles , 6.7 percent; radio and te le v is io n sets, 6.3 per­
cent; and footwear, 5.8 percent.
Long term trends
A ll the industries fo r which data are a va ila b le have had gains in
produ ctivity over the 24-year period, 1950-74. The increases ranged
from a high of 6.9 percent in a ir transportation to a low of 1.0 per­
cent fo r footwear manufacturing.
(See table 1 .) In the more recent
period, 1969-74, produ ctivity rates ranged from a high o f 10.4 percent
fo r synthetic fib e rs to a low o f -4.6 percent fo r bituminous coal and
lig n it e mining.
(See chart 1.)
More than h a lf the industries had lower growth rates in the 1969-74
period than in the e a r lie r period (1950-69 fo r most in d u stries). The
slowdown in produ ctivity growth fo r the m ajority o f the selected indus­
t r ie s is consistent with the experience in the to ta l priva te sector o f
the economy, where produ ctivity grew at the rate o f 3.0 percent from
1950-69 and 2.1 percent from 1969-74. A number o f mining industries
recorded actual declinin g rates during the 1969-74 period. The coal
mining industry had a large d eclin e, averaging 4.5 percent per year.
Output in this industry grew at a low rate o f 0.2 percent, while pro­
duction worker hours grew at the higher rate o f 4.9 percent during the
1969-74 period. Among the factors a ffe c tin g produ ctivity in th is indus­
try were a number o f strik es and the impact o f the Federal Coal Mine
Health and Safety Act of 1969, which required more rigorous sa fety
practices in coal mining operations. In copper mining (recoverable
m eta l), p r o d u c t i v i t y f e l l at a rate o f 2.6 percent from 1969-74, based
on a low rate o f growth in output o f 1.0 percent and a la rg er rate o f
gain in production worker hours o f 3.6 percent. In iron mining
(usable o r e ), prod u ctivity f e l l at an average rate o f 1.0 percent, as
output declined at a rate o f 1.2 percent, w hile production worker
hours f e l l at the lower rate o f 0.2 percent.
A few industries had rates that were s ig n ific a n tly higher in the
1969-74 period than the previous period. One of the most notable was
the s te e l industry which posted a rate o f 4.4 percent during 1969-74,
compared to only 1.8 percent in 1950-69. Output in this industry grew
at a rate o f 3.6 percent in the 1969-74 period, w e ll above the indus­
t r y ’ s long term average gain o f 1.2 percent during 1950-69. The
expansion in demand fo r s te e l products in the more current period
allowed the industry to u t iliz e more fu lly it s recen tly in s ta lle d




3

advanced production equipment, which includes basic oxygen furnaces,
continuous casting u nits, and high speed r o llin g m ills , leading to
above-average produ ctivity gains.
(For a graphic presentation o f the
long term trends in output per employee-hour and related data fo r the
selected in du stries, see charts 2-94.)
New measures
SIC 325 - Structural Clay Products. Output per employee-hour in
the structural clay products industry increased at an average annual
rate o f 3.3 percent between 1958 and 1974. In 1974, however, produc­
t i v i t y f e l l 3.4 percent. The long term improvement in labor produc­
t i v i t y resulted from r e la t iv e ly small increases in output associated
with s ig n ific a n t declines in employee-hours, and can be attribu ted to
the mechanization of operations previously performed manually.
The clay products industry can be divided into two sectors using
sim ilar production methods, but serving separate markets. The la rg er
secto r, clay construction products, consists o f products such as bath
and flo o r t i l e , b rick , and drain and sewer pipe. The sm aller, clay
refra cto ry products, consists o f heat resistan t m aterials used by
industries such as s t e e l, chemicals, and petroleum re fin in g . Output
trends fo r the two sectors d iff e r .
Output o f clay construction prod­
ucts remained r e la t iv e ly stable over the 1958-74 period, growing at a
rate o f only 0.1 percent. On the other hand, output o f clay re fr a c ­
to ries grew at a rate o f 3.0 percent over the period. P rodu ctivity
rates fo r both sectors were s im ila r, however. In clay construction
products, p rodu ctivity grew at a rate o f 3.3 percent in 1958-74 as
employee-hours dropped at the high rate o f 3.1 percent. In the clay
re fra c to rie s secto r, produ ctivity grew at a rate o f 3.1 percent as
employee-hours declined at a rate o f only 0.1 percent.
Technological changes in th is industry in volve improved
mechanization and automated con trol. In clay r e fr a c to r ie s , automatic
equipment is being used fo r blending raw m aterials, and improved extru­
sion techniques are aiding p rodu ctivity growth. Mechanized tran sfer
equipment has speeded up the manufacture o f bricks. Tunnel kilns
allow fo r continuous processing o f clay products on an assembly lin e
basis.
Opportunities fo r continued p rod u ctivity improvements through new
technology may be impeded by the existence o f uncertain product markets.
Moreover, the structure o f the brick industry — many small producers
prim arily serving lo c a l markets — tends to retard the d iffu sion o f
improved technology.

SIC 3351 - Copper Rolling and Drawing. Output per employee-hour
in the industry rose at an average annual rate of 2.6 percent between
1958 and 1974, with output increasing at the rate of 2.4 percent and
employee-hours declining at the rate of 0.2 percent. Productivity
declined 11.4 percent during 1973-74 due to an output drop of 15.8
percent, while employee-hours f e ll only 4.9 percent.
Productivity growth in the industry has been achieved largely
through a gradual change to longer production runs and more automatic
equipment. Semi-continuous and continuous casting have replaced static
casting as the most prevalent method of producing rod and b ille t .
However, a significant proportion of the industry’ s products is made to
customer specifications; therefore, many mills must continue the job
approach to manufacturing, limiting their a b ility to gain the benefits
of long production runs.
Because this industry makes intermediate products that are
utilized by many other industries such as autos and construction,
changes in the business cycle have had an important impact on output
and productivity. In addition, the use of brass in ammunition manu­
facture means that shipments to the Armed Forces have risen dramati­
cally in times of conflict.
For the immediate future, the outlook for the industry is poor.
The current recession, with its significant downturns in autos and
housing, has been having deleterious effects on copper m ills. Output
is expected to continue its sharp decline in 1975. This w ill tend to
slow productivity growth in the industry.
SIC 554 - Gasoline Service Stations. Output per hour of a ll
persons grew at the average annual rate of 3.7 percent between 1958 and
1974, due to an average increase in output of 4.3 percent and a gain in
hours of 0.5 percent. The more recent period, 1969-73, showed a more
pronounced productivity increase of 4.4 percent, as output increased
steadily while the number of stations within the industry was reduced.
However, the petroleum shortage in early 1974, coupled with the
recession, resulted in the fir s t productivity decline since 1958.
There were many factors behind the productivity growth over the
1958-74 period, including an increase in the number of stations at high
volume locations, such as along superhighways, a decline in the number
of small marginal stations, an increase in sales by independent dealers,
and growth in self-service gasoline stations, as w ell as numerous small
technological innovations and improved management. These factors
coalesced into a trend toward higher volume, more specialized stations.




5

The petroleum embargo in 1973-74 and sharp price increases have
created a sta te o f uncertainty in the industry. Depending on p o lit ic a l
or economic considerations, gasoline may possibly be in short supply in
the future. Continued p rice increases and the trend toward more fu e le ffic ie n t cars may a lte r demand patterns. The e ffe c t o f these changes
on future p rodu ctivity trends is d i f f ic u lt to predict and remains
uncertain.
SIC 7011 - H o t e ls , Motels, and Tourist Courts. Output per hour o f
a ll persons in the transient lodging industry increased at an average
annual rate o f 2.5 percent between 1958 and 1974, based on an average
annual increase in output o f 3.8 percent, and a gain of 1.2 percent in
hours. Between 1973-74, output actu ally f e l l 0.7 percent, while hours
grew by a lik e amount. Thus, as in past recessionary periods, decreased
demand resulted in a produ ctivity d eclin e, in th is case, 1.4 percent.
The long term advance in produ ctivity in th is industry has re fle c te d
strong demand, e sp ecia lly in periods of general economic expansion. The
growth o f disposable income, increased leisu re and vacation time, more
h olidays, and a shorter workweek have contributed to the demand fo r
transient lodging. A s ig n ific a n t demand fa cto r has been the business
and convention market which has increased more than twofold since 1963.
Organizational changes and technological developments, such as operat­
ing economies a va ila b le to chains, the introduction o f computer process­
in g, and the use o f convenience foods have contributed to produ ctivity
gains.
Continued advances in prod u ctivity are expected, but at a reduced
rate compared with those o f the s ix t ie s . Periods o f recession in the
t o t a l economy adversely a ffe c t the lodging industry. Industry growth
is highly dependent on ris in g disposable income and expenditures fo r
business tra v e l. Thus, the current slump has lim ited both output and
produ ctivity gains. In the long run, higher transportation costs and
possible fu el conservation measures may r e s t r ic t tr a v e l, presenting
the industry with s ig n ific a n tly slower output growth.

Methods and Data
The indexes o f output per employee-hour are computed by d ivid in g
an output index by an index o f aggregate employee-hours. Corresponding
measures also are computed re la tin g output to the number o f employees.
Thus, the industry indexes presented measure changes in the re la tio n ­
ship between output and employment or employee-hours.
The output indexes are based prim arily on the physical output of
the products o f the industry combined with fix ed period weights. Unit
employee-hour weights are used whenever possible to aggregate the data.
For many in du stries, however, unit labor weights are not available
at the d etailed product le v e l so substitute weights must be used. The
most common substitute weights are unit values which are assumed to be
proportional to unit employee-hours. For many manufacturing indus­
t r ie s , however, employee-hour weights at the product class le v e l can
be developed from the availab le data. In such cases, a dual le v e l
weighting system is used — unit value' weights at the product le v e l
and unit labor weights at the product class le v e l.
Although the weights re la te to fix ed periods, they are updated
p e r io d ic a lly , usually in conjunction with economic censuses. Thus,
indexes fo r 1947-58 are based on 1947 weights; fo r 1958-63, 1958
weights; fo r 1963-67, 1963 weights; fo r 1967-72, 1967 weights; and fo r
1972-74, 1972 weights. For three industries — ra ilro a d s, iron mining
and copper mining — two a ltern a tive produ ctivity measures, using
d iffe re n t concepts o f industry output, are presented.
P e r io d ic a lly , the output indexes fo r most o f the measures are
adjusted to le v e ls based on data reported in the economic censuses fo r
the mining, manufacturing, and business in du stries. The most current
adjustments presented in th is report r e fle c t data from the 1972 economic
census.
Employment and employee-hour indexes are developed prim arily from
basic data compiled by the Bureau o f Labor S ta tis tic s and the Bureau o f
the Census. In concept, indexes based on employee-hour data from the
Bureau o f the Census re la te to plant hours only. Employee-hour data
from the Bureau o f Labor S ta tis tic s include not only hours at work but
also payroll hours such as vacations, holidays, and sick leave paid by
the establishment d ir e c tly to the employee. 1/ In general, because o f

data from the In ters ta te Commerce Commission (IC C ), and are related
prim arily to hours at work.

increases in paid leave during the period, output per employee-hour
worked would tend to show a somewhat higher rate o f gain than output
per employee-hour paid. However, actual differen ces may resu lt from
s t a t is t ic a l lim ita tion s in the data as w ell as from d ifferen ces in
concepts.
This report includes indexes o f output per employee-hour and output
per employee. In most cases, the indexes are shown fo r a l l employees,
production workers, and nonproduction workers. 2J Although both the
Bureau o f the Census and the Bureau o f Labor S ta tis tic s provide data on
production worker hours, neither source provides annual data by industry
on nonproduction worker or a ll employee-hours. Therefore, the nonpro­
duction worker hours are estimated.
The estimates o f aggregate nonproduction worker hours fo r the
manufacturing industries are derived from published employment data and
from estimates o f average annual hours paid or worked per nonproduction
worker. The procedures used fo r making these estimates have been
changed in order to incorporate data that are conceptually more v a lid
than previous estimates. This ed itio n o f Selected In d u stries, there­
fo re , presents revised employee and nonproduction worker hour indexes
fo r the manufacturing industries fo r 1968-74. P rior to 1968, the
estimates o f average annual hours paid were calculated by m ultiplying
the number o f workweeks in the year by the scheduled weekly hours.
Estimated hours fo r vacations, h olidays, d is a b ilit y , and personal time
o f f were subtracted from average annual hours paid to obtain an estimate
o f average annual hours worked. Vacation and holiday trends were based
on studies by the U.S. Department o f Health, Education, and W elfare,
and on data from the Bureau o f Labor S ta tis tic s surveys. Personal time
o f f was estimated as a constant on the basis o f data obtained from
various sources. Since 1968, the estimates o f average annual hours
paid and average annual hours worked have been d ir e c tly based on data
co llected in the Bureau o f Labor S ta tis tic s biennial surveys o f Employee
Compensation in the Private Nonfarm Economy.
For two "s e r v ic e 11 industries — gasoline service stations and
h o tels, motels, and to u rist courts — measures o f the hours o f partners,
prop rietors, and supervisory (nonproduction) workers were developed.
For gasoline service sta tion s, estimates were also made fo r the hours o f
unpaid family workers. Average weekly hours worked fo r partners, pro­
p rietors and unpaid fam ily workers were obtained from unpublished data

2/ The term "production workers" has been used fo r many years to
cover manufacturing and mining employees who work at the plant or mine
and who are generally in nonsupervisory occupations. The remaining
employees, such as profession a l, tech n ical, c le r ic a l, supervisory, e t c .,
have been id e n tifie d as "nonproduction w orkers."

co llected in the Current Population Survey. The data were compiled fo r
the BLS by the Bureau o f the Census. Average weekly hours worked by
supervisory employees were obtained from the 1960 and 1970 Censuses o f
Population. Estimates fo r intercensal years were derived using extra ­
polation and lin ea r in terpolation techniques.
A ll employee-hour estimates fo r the manufacturing industries are
derived by summing the aggregate hours fo r production workers and the
estimated hours fo r nonproduction workers. Hours o f a l l persons are
derived by summing the aggregate hours fo r paid employees, partners,
prop rietors, and unpaid family workers.
Manufacturing indexes in volving nonproduction worker hours are
subject to a wider margin o f error than are the indexes in volvin g only
production worker hours, because i t is necessary to estimate the average
hours of nonproduction workers. In general, any errors in these e s t i­
mates, however, would have a r e la t iv e ly in sig n ifica n t e ffe c t on the
trend in the hours fo r a l l employees.
The output indexes and employee-hour components o f the industry
produ ctivity indexes are based on data from a number o f d iffe re n t
sources which are id e n tifie d in the accompanying tables. For most o f
the indu stries, the 1974 output indexes are based on the data sources
that are regu larly used. However, fo r some in du stries, the normal data
sources are not as yet a va ila b le, and other information, such as the
Federal Reserve Board output indexes, the Current In du strial Reports o f
the Bureau o f the Census, and trade association data, were used. For
those industries using the Bureau o f the Census or ICC as the primary
source o f employment and employee-hours, the 1974 indexes were
developed by lin kin g employment and employee-hour data from the Bureau
o f Labor S ta tis tic s , since 1974 census data are not yet availab le.
Therefore, a l l 1974 output per employee-hour measures are considered
preliminary and are subject to revision .
The indexes re fe r to the standard reference base 1967=100 and
conform to the 1972 Standard In du strial C la ss ifica tio n (SIC) system.
With one exception, they are comparable (except fo r revisions in data)
with the indexes published in previous b u lletin s. In p rio r years, the
measures conformed to the 1967 SIC d e fin itio n s .
For the canning and
preserving industry (SIC 203), two "su bindustries," canned and cured
seafoods and fresh or frozen packaged fis h , were transferred from
SIC 203 to SIC 209. From 1973 on, th erefo re, the measures fo r SIC 203
do not contain these two "subindustries." In terms o f employee-hours,
these two subindustries accounted fo r about 14 percent o f SIC 203 in
1972. Linking techniques were used to maintain a s t a t is t ic a lly
consistent series from 1947 forward.
