Shultz. Secretary BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS / Geoffrey H. Moore, Commissioner For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 2 0 402 - Price 30 cents Preface This summary presents in tabular form selected trends in earnings and hours of production workers in manufacturing. On tables 5 and 6 the Consumer Price Index is shown. This bulletin includes one series—hourly earnings excluding premium pay for overtime and the effect of interindustry employment shifts—that is not published elsewhere by the Bureau. Supplements will be issued semiannually. The series was first published in 1953; its format was changed in 1962. This issue of the summary differs from its predecessors in two important respects: (1) Beginning January 1959, separate data is added for the durable and nondurable goods sectors to those for all manufacturing, and (2) the weighting system was revised for the index of average hourly earnings excluding the effects of overtime and the effects of interindustry employment shifts. The new procedure, described in appendix A, has resulted in small changes in the index for a few months; generally, the changes are not more than 1-index point. In addition, this issue of the summary provides monthly data for all manufacturing beginning with January 1947; previous editions provided such data only for the months since January 1959. The added months have been provided to facilitate the analysis of trends during the post-World War II period. This bulletin was prepared in the Bureau’ s Division of Trends in Employee Compensation by H. Charles Spring. iii Contents Page Sum m ary______________________________________________________________________________________ 1 Tables: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Earnings of ap parel workers also have increased more rapidly since 1965 than in earlier years. Summary Hourly earnings have increased in each year since 1939, although the rate of advance has been influenced by factors such as the imposition and relaxation of wage-price controls, changes in the rate of unemployment, the rate of increase in pro ductivity, and the rate of change in prices paid by consumers. Except in a few months, average hourly earnings excluding premium pay for overtime have increased faster than the Consumer Price Index. Changes in average hourly earnings in the dur able goods sector are influenced appreciably by developments in the automobile and basic steel in dustries. This influence is illustrated by behavior of the earnings series in August, September, or October of most recent years. Annual improvementfactor wage increases, frequently combined with cost-of-living escalator adjustments, normally go into effect in the fall. Wage increases put into effect under basic steel contracts were reflected in the advance in durable goods average hourly earnings in September 1966. In some years strikes at the time of new contract negotiations have affected earnings. The September 1964 automobile industry strike and the August 1965 basic steel strike reduced average hourly earnings. From 1939 to about 1958, earnings in manu facturing excluding the effects of premium pay for overtime and shifts in employment among industries rose at an annual rate of about 5.7 percent; in only a few years did the rate fall below 5 percent. From about 1958 to 1966, the rise in earnings slackened— it amounted to about 3 percent or less a year. In each of the 3 years from 1966 to 1968, the rate of increase accelerated substantially; it advanced by 3.9 percent in 1966, 5.2 percent in 1967, and 6.5 percent in 1968. The following tabulates separately for the years since 1959 the percentage increase in earnings ex cluding the effects of premium pay for overtime and interindustry employment shifts in durable and non durable goods industries; indexes excluding the effects of interindustry employment shifts and pre mium pay for overtime for these two major manu facturing components are not available for earlier years. Separate indexes of changes in average hourly earnings excluding premium pay for overtime and the effects of interindustry employment shifts for durable and nondurable goods industries are avail able only since 1959. After this time hourly earnings in the nondurable goods industries have risen slightly faster than in the durable goods industries. (Data on gross hourly earnings for earlier years indicate that during the 1940’ s earnings in the non durable goods industries also increased more rapidly than in durable goods manufacturing but that during the decade of the 1950’ s pay in nondurable goods in dustries lagged.) Year 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 1966 1967 1968 Because a substantial portion of the employment in the nondurable goods sector is concentrated in the textile and apparel industries,1earnings trends in these groups greatly affect the nondurable goods index. Since 1963, nonunionized workers, who ac count for the vast majority of those in the textile in dustry, have received increases about every 9 or 10 months and the changes for unionized workers ----— — —— — — — — All manu facturing 2.9 3. 2 2. 8 2.2 3.0 3.9 5.2 6.6 Durable goods NA 3.2 2.5 2.3 2.6 1.8 2.9 4.0 4.8 6.8 Nondurable goods NA 3.2 3. 1 2. 2 3.2 2.6 3.1 3.9 5.6 6.5 1 Apparel and textile employment accounts for 35. 4 per cent o f all nondurable goods employment.
