Washington, D. C., November 30, 1936
Sir:
I herewith transait Part II of a report on the occupational
characteristics of urban workers on relief in 79 cities in Ha;,
193", presenting data for each of the cities. This detailed
presentation of cit7 data is designed to bring out the variety
of problems created b7 different local conditions which are so
i■portant to public polic7 in the administration of relief or
other fol'IIS of public assistance.
This report was prepared under the general direction of
Howard B. Hyers, Director of the Division of Social Research
of the Worts Progress Ada1nistration. Gladys L. Palmer acted
as consultant on plans for anal.7sis, and in editing the report.
Bdi tori al assistance was also given bJ John N. Webb, Coordinator
of Urban Research. Ia addition to the work of those whose contribution was acknowledged in the letter of transmittal of Part
I, the technical assistance of a number of persons has been valuable, including Catherine Ha,es,RebeccaPfeffeman, and Gertrude
Bancroft. The report was prepared by Katherine D. Wood.
Respectfull7 submitted,

INTRODUCTION
A description of the purpose and method of the Survey of
Urban Workers on Relief in Hay 193q has been included in Part I
of this report. The analysis in Part I is based mainly upon
data representing the aggregate of 79 cities in terms of a
weighted Stlllllll&t'J referred to .as the "Urban Relief Sample." The
second part of the report presents selected data for each of
the 79 cities in which the survey was made in order to show the
range and significance in city differences, and to relate these
to the size and industrial background of the cities. Although
city differences are probably also connected with local relief
policies, no attempt is made in this report to describe the local relief problem in each city studied.
The major emphasis of the study, as stated in Part I, is on
the occupational characteristics of the workers on relief in
urban areas. These characteristics must be viewed against the
background of the social characteristics of the relief population of which the workers are a part, and for which they are
normally the means of support. Consequently, the first chapter
of Part II deals with some of the more important family characteristics, and a simple measurement of the incidence of relief in the individual communities. Against this background of
relevant facts concerning families on relief, and the intensity
of relief in each city, chapters II and III describe the variations in· occupational characteristics and industrial origins
of workers on relief, their age and duration of unemployment.
The occupations and industries referred to throughout the
discussion of both occupational and industrial origins of workers on relief are those in which these persons were usually employed, which may or may not have been the ones in which they
last worked. Duration of unemployment as presented in chapter
III is measured from the last job of q weeks or more at the
usual occupation. 1 For most workers the last job of q weeks
or more at the usual occupation was, in fact, the last joh of
any type lasting at least a month.

URBAN WORKERS ON RELIEF

The 79 cities rep~esent a wide variet7of econOlllic or industrial backgrounds, are widel7 distributed geographicall7, and
range in size from 10,000 population to over 1,0CX>,<XX:>. 1 Table
l on pages xv-xvi indicates for each ci t7 its location, its size
in 1930, and its jleneral economic character and chief indlrstry.
The cities are classified into four broad econoaic tJPes according to the distribution by industry of 2.ainful workers in
the 1930 population. The first group, c01111ercial cities, are
those in which a relatively small proportion of gainful workers
were in manufacturing and mechanical industries, and in which
a relativel7 large proportion, 30 percent or over, were in trade
and transportation and communication. The second group, diversified manufacturing cities, are those in which the proportion
of workers in manufacturing and mechanical industries was relatively high but no one sub-group of industries accounted for
as much as 20 percent of the gainful workers. The specialized
manufacturing cities are those in which 20 percent or more of
gainful workers in 1930 were in one sub-group of manufacturing
industries t such as textiles or iron and steel); and the mining
cities are those in which 20 percent or more were in extraction
of minerals. The one ci tJ which does not fit into an7 of these
four groups is Washington, D. C., where public service predolinates. The classification is thus arbitrary, and gives at
best a very broad picture of the t7Pes of cities included in
the surve7, but facilitates the analysis of data b7 t7pe of
city.
For each of the major social or econoaic characteristics of
the relief problem in the 79 cities surve7ed, the following discussion presents the range of city differences in contrast to
the averages for all cities combined; the central tendencies
toward similarit7 among cities, if sucb exist; and comparisons
with the usuall7 gainful17 occupied populations, if these are
available. The pattern of differences in the characteristics
of the relief population in the cities studied is related to
city-size, location, and economic t7Pe, where these appear to
be important.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Analysis of most of the data for individual cities reveals
certain homogeneous characteristics in the urban relief population even in various types of cities, but also demonstrates
that qualifications should be introduced into generalizations
made fro■ the urban relief sample as a whole as presented in
Part I. For example, although the modal group of cities tends
to show the sue characteristics as the averages for the urban
suuary, the deviations from the averages for all cities are
frequently very great. The reasons for these variations among
cities in either major occupational or social characteristics
to a certain extent reflect differences in local policies in
the ad1dnistration of relief and the availability of local funds
for various kinds of public assistance. To an even greater
extent, they probably reflect variations in the economic character, location, and size of the cities studied. Perhaps the
economic character is the 1110st important, al though any broad
econ0111ic classification of cities offers at best a very rough
method for testing the differences arising from such a complex
economic phenomenon as industrial characteristics.
In general, it appears that the relief population of cities
which have been classified here as co111111ercial or diversified
■anufacturing possess characteristics 1110re nearly like those
of the urban relief sample as a whole than do the relief popul&tions of specialized types of cities. By reason of their
number and relatbe size, commercial and diversified cities
dominate the sUMary of the 79 cities combined and are perhaps
the ■ost t7.Pical cities in the United States. Specialized manufacturing and lllining cities show the widest range of nriation
fro11 the averages for all cities combined.
This is true of
almost all of the occupational characteristics analyzed by city.
Cities which are classified as specialized manufacturing centers,
for example, had the highest and the lowest average duration
of unellll)lo,aent, and the highest and the lowest median age for
unemployed workers on relief rolls in May 193ij.
Regional patterns in city differences appear to be present
in such characteristics as racial composition and average number of workers per relief household. Apparent regional differences in the average dur&tion of unemployment and the percentage
of unskilled workers to all workers probably reflect the industrial t,pe of ci t7 which is characteristic of a particular

region. The southern cities, although of various sizes and of
different economic types, appear to have many characteristics
in common with each other, and furnish the best example of the
influence of geographic location on occupatio~al characteristics. The southern cities naturally show a high proportion of
Negroes on relief rolls. Partially as a result of this fact,
southern cities have a higher proportion of W0111en workers than
the average for other regions, and the percentage of unskilled
workers to workers of all types is higher in the South than in
other regions. Theaverage duration of unemplo~nt for southern cities is, with a few exceptions, lower than the average
for cities in the other regions.
The influence of city-size upon the characteristics of the
urban relief population is difficult to measure apart from the
more important regional and industrial background differences.
There was a much higher proportion of specialized manufacturing and mining cities among small cities than 3!110ng larger ones,
the latter being chiefly commercial or diversified manufacturing cent-ers. Obviously the economic type of a city therefore
influences the results so much that a clear-cut picture of the
influence of size of city alone cannot be obtained. Two characteristics nevertheless show some relationship to city-size:
(1) the proportion of clerical workers and (2) duration of unemployment. The proportion of clerical workers to all workers
on relief was lower than average in 1110st of the cities under
50,000 population and higher in the large cities, for example,
in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. There is a tendency for the average duration of unemploflllent to be higher for
workers in thelarger cities surveyed than in the smaller ones,
although the smaller cities also showed thewidest range in the
average duration of unemploflllent.
The general findings of the city analysis of employability
characteristics of families on relief in May 193" are in agreement with findings for the urban relief SMple as a whole, in
spite of variations in some cities. Although there is & wide
range in the incidence of relief in the 79 cities, in almost
half of the cities from 10 to lij percent of the population of
1930 was on relief at the time the study was made. Host cities
had a significant proportion of one-person families and families
with female heads, as well as of households with no employable
person as the term is defined in this su"ey. These characteristics appear to show no consistent pattern for cities of different sizes, but show some relationship to geographic location,
and appear to be even more clearly related to economic type of
city. Variations int he number of workers per household reflect
the economic character of the cities studied and the proportion
of women in the normal working population and on relief in these
cities.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

xii

The racial composition of the relief population in the 79
cities reflects the location of cities as well as the types of
the industries in the different cities. In 11 southern cities
more than 50 percent of the relief population consisted of Negro and other races.
Unemployed workers on relief in most of the cities in which
data are available for comparison with the 1930 working population had a higher average age than that of the working population in 1930, as rlid unemployed workers in the summary for all
cities combined. In one-third of these 60 cities, however, the
average age of unemployed workers on relief in 193'1 was lower
than the average age of gainful workers in these cities in 1930.
There was a IO-year range in the average ages of unemployed
workers on relief in the different cities in May 193'1. The
lowest average age of 30.'I years was reported in Gastonia, North
Carolina, and. the highest of q().3 years in Klamath Falls, Oregon.
The average for the urban relief sample as a whole was 35.2
1ears.
The findings with respect to the nsual occupation and industry and the socio-econ0111ic class of the usual occupation of
workers on relief in the 79 cities also are in general agreement with the findings for the urban relief sample as a whole,
despite the presence of many city Tari at ions that reflect the
econ0111ic character of the cities selected for study. Perhaps
the most interesting variations to be observed occur in the
proportion of workers in the different socio-economic classes
and in the concentration of workers in the six occupations found
to be largest for the relief sample as a who1e. Although unskilled workers 111ake up the largest socio-economic class in alllOSt all cities, the proportion of such workers to all workers
on relief varied considerably from cit:, to city. In the cities
in which the proportion of unskilled workers was relatively low,
one or 1110re of the other socio-economic classes was naturally
higher than average. The varying importance of different socioecon0111ic classes of workers on relief in different cities reflects the industrial or economic characteristics of cities.
Of the 6 largest occupations in the urban relief sample as a
whole, servants ranked first in all but 13 cities; the other 5
occupations were among the 6 largest in fewer cities. Nevertheless, the extent to which the 6 occupations (servants,
chauffeurs and truck and tractor drivers, buildinr, and general
laborers, salesmen, carpenters, and painters! recurred among
the largest in a number of cities indicates a marked degree of
similarity among the 79 cities in respect to the occupational
characteristics of workers on relief.
The average duration of une111ployment from the last job at
the usnal occupation for all workers in the urban relief sample
was 27., months. Averages for workers on relief in individual

cities, however, ranged from a low of 6.3 months in Gastonia,
North Carolina, to a high of ij(). l months in Ansonia, Connecticut,
alt hough the majority of city averages fall nearer the average
for all workers in the urban sample. In fact, the median du rat ion of unemployment in 57 cities was from 20 to 35 months.
The highest averages were reported in ■anufacturing cities specializing in iron and steel and other metal products. Worket"S
on relief in the smaller cities reported shorter periods of 011emplo7111ent on the whole than workers in the larger cities, although the range of difference in the median was also greatest
for the smaller cities. Certain regional differences also appear to be significant. For ex•ple, in most of the cities in
the central region the average length of onemplo111ent was higher
than for cities in other regions.
Men were out of work longer than women in all bot 1 of
the 79 cities sunreyed. Men who had formerly been emplo7ed
in the manufacturing and mechanical industries and in mining
reported the longest periods of onemplo111ent. In the occupational group in which .most women on relief bad formerly been
employed, domestic and personal service, the average duration
of unemployment was usually lower than in other occupational
groups. For the 79 cities c011bi11ed, white workers had been
out of work, on the average, longer than Negro workers. When
race differences in duration of une■plo111ent are analyzed by
city, variations in this relationship occur. In about onethird of the cities su"eyed, Negro men had been out of work
longer than white men. The number of cities in which the Negro women had been unemployed longer than white WOlllen was considerably smaller, perhaps too small to be statistically significant.
The pre-depression unemployed are of special importance in
the administration of relief because the7 constitute a group
for whom some plans for public assistance over an extended period will probably be necessarr. In over half of the 79 cities,
15 percent or more of the unemplo7ed men had lost the last job
at their usual occupation previous to May 1929. Over one-fifth
of the men belonged to this group in eight cities: Ansonia,
Connecticut; Sioux City; Iowa; Wheeling, West Virginia; Hibbing,
Minnesota; Portsmouth, New Hampshire; Enid, Oklah011a; Detroit,
Michigan; and Kenosha, Wisconsin. The proportion of women who
reported unemplo7111ent periods that began prior to May 1929 was
slightly larger in most cities than the proportion of men, but
to a large extent these women were probably re-entrants into
the labor market and were not, st rict17 speaking, a part of
the pre-depression unemployed.

Chapter I

EXTENT AND CHARACTER OF THE RELIEF PROBLEM
IN THE 79 CITIES

INCIDENCE OF RKLIEF
One of the first questions asked in connection with the relief problem at any given time is: How many persons are receiving relief? Actual numbers are important, but of perhaps
greater significance is the measurement of the incidence of
relief in relation to the total population of each community.
Unfortunately, any such measurement for individual cities is
at best an approximation. The only available basis for comparison is t be 1930 Census of Population, and it is we 11 known
that the extensive population changes which have occurred since
that date inject the possibility of consider11ble error. In
spite of these population changes, th~ relationship between the
relief population of Hay 193q and the total population of 1930
is, however, presented here as the best available index of the
intensity of relief in the 79 cities. In small cities the margin of error may he great, but in larger cities even what appear to be substantial population shifts would probably not
affect the total population su!f icient ly to invalidate the comparison. 1
The range in the ratio of persons on relief in May 193q to
the total population in 1930 is exceedingly wide among the 79
cities (Table 2). The extremes range from 55 percent of the
total.population on relief in Butte, Mont., where a strike increased the relief load abnormally, to6 percent in Portsmouth,
N. H. However, in q6 percent of the 79 cities, between 10 and
15percent of the popul&tion of 1930 were on relief in May 19~;
and in 73 percent of the cities, between 10 and 20 percent were
on relief. These figures are probably more significant than
an average for the 79 cities, since wide variations in size of

of economic conditions at any giventimeto explain differences
in relative 11agni tude of the relief problem. Furthermore, other
factors are also effective in determining the proportion of
the population receiving relief. These include local adainistrative policies, co11111unity attitudes toward acceptance of relief, availability of public relief funds, and certain social
factors such as the racial c011p0si tion of the population. OnlJ
a careful analysis of each city can, therefore, adequately answer some of the questions as to why the incidence of relief
is greater in some cities than in others. It is believed that
the data which follow will be of assistance in such an analJsis.

CHARACTERISTICS OF FAMILIES OR HOUSEHOLDS1

~

RELIEF

Certain characteristics of the households or f•ilies of
which workers on relief were members are an essential background
for the total picture of the unemployment relief problem at the
time the su"ey was ■ade. The most relevant of the family characteristics include: race; size of household, especially the
number of one-person households; the nllllber of workers per
household; the employability c011p0sition of the unit; and certain characteristics of the head of the household. Wide variations aaong the 79 cities were found in respect to several of
these characteristics.
Race of Relief Hou1ehotd1

In most of the 79 cities, white households were predoainant
among those on relief in May 193«.. In only 12 cities were less
than 50 percent of the relief households white; in I.JO of the
79 cities, ~ percent or more, and in '3 cities 75 percent or
more of all households on relief were white (Chart 2, Appendix
Table 21. In contrast to the large majority of white households among those on relief in most cities is the fact that in
the cities in which Negroes or other races were of importance
in the general population, they constituted a larger proportion
of the relief group than they did of all f•ilies in 1930.
In q6 of the cities, Negro households constituted 5 percent
or more of all households on relief in Ma, 193q; in 28 cities
they were over 20 percent of the relief load; in Norfolk tbeJ
were 80 percent. Again, perhaps more important than the actual

proportions are the relative proportions of Negroes as a part
of the relief load compared with their ratios in the population
of 19~- In all of these ~ cities the ratio of Negro households to all households on relief was above their ratio in the
total population of the city in 1930. The degree to which they
appear to have been disproportionately present on relief differed widely aaong thue cities. 1n Charleston, for exaaple,

on relief in larger proportions in northern cities relative to
their importance in the city populations than in southern cities. a Bxplanat ions for these differences are nu111erous, but the

were considerably over-represented on relief, according to their
proportioas in the 1930 population (Table ii). In Douglas, Ariz •.,
and Bl Paso, Tex., households of other races were over half of
the relief load, but in both of these cities they also were i•portaat in the general population of 1930. In Albuquerque,
N. Mex., on the other hand, other races were only 3 percent of
the population in 1930, but accounted for 30 percent of the relief population. This wide difference in Albuquerque 11ay be
due to soae bias in the relief sample, or to a large increase
in the nuaber of fa11ilies of other races in the population of
the city between 1930 and 193ii. 6

Unatt&ched individuals, variously called one-person households., non-family persons, or lone persons, were of special i111portance in the relief population. Their i111portance wa.s due not
only to the~r excessive proportion in the relief population by
c011parisoa with their proportion in the 1930 population,• but
also to the fact th&t they constitute a different type of &dministrative and dependency proble• from nonnal families. Unattached persons were older, on the &ver&ge, and there were 111ore

In spite of the fact that transients, among whOlll one-penon
families would be expected to be numerous, were excluded froa
the present surTeJ, one-person families were heaTily represented
among the resident relief load of May 193q in many cities. The
variations among cities in the proportion of one-person families
to all families on relief were exceedingly great (Appendix
Table 3). These differences in a large measure reflect certain
characteristics of the cities themselves, as well as relief policies in May 193q in respect to granting aid to non-family persons.• In San Francisco, for example, qQ percent of the families on relief in May 193q consisted of unattached individuals

and over three-fourths of these were men. The high proportion
of such persons in San Francisco was undoubtedly due to the
presence of large numbers · of sailors and longshoremen. In
Klamath Falls, Oreg., a sawmill town where large nmbers of
workers are normally E!lllployed in forestry, the second highest
ratio of one-person families to all families on relief was
found, again indicating the relationship between theindustrial
characteristics of the city and the importance of non-family
persons in the relief population. In many other cities having
a higher than average number of one-person faailies on relief
and a large proportion of men among them, the gainful workers
of the city in 1930 were largely men. In general it may be
said, therefore, that the incidence of relief 8110ng one-person
families in most cities is largely among men rather than women

and is definitely related to economic opportunities which attract men without families. The few exceptions to this are in
soat hero cities where one-person families are largely Negro
"fomen ( Chart 3).
Although this discussion has centered chiefly about the cities in which the proportion of one-person families on relief
indicated a special problem, it should also be noted that the
problem of unattached individuals in the relief population was
of considerable magnitude in a majority of the 79 cities. In
almost a sixth of the cities such persons constituted over
percent of all families ; in two-fifths o! the cities they were
20 percent or more; and in over three-fourths of the cities,

very heavily represented, 9 non-family persons constituted a

in which the study was made.

Fa•i1ies with Feu1e Heads
From the standpoint of relief or other forms of public assistance, one of the most important family characteristics is
the sex of the head of the family. Families with women as heads
const it ate a special type of dependency problem and if adequate
public assistance for women with children were available, female heads would not be found on the unemployment relief rolls
in any great number. That families in which the head was a
woman were universally important, in the urban relief load of

Hay 1931+, is shown by the fact that in all but 2 of the 79
cities they accounted for 10 percent or more of all families on
relief, and in over three-fourths of the cities they were 15
percent or more ITahle 61.
Race and geographic reffion appear to be of great import·ance
in determining the ratio of families with female heads to all
farni lies on relief.
With two exceptions ( Lynn, Hass.
and
Manchester, N. B. I all of the cities in which over 25 percent
of families had fe~ale heads were southern cities, and in most
of these cities, Negro families accounted for over half of the
relief load, At the other extreme were 21 cities in which less
than 15 percent of all relief families reported female heads;
all of these cities except 1, Bowlini Green, Iy., were north
ern, but were widely scattered throughout the eastern, central,
and western regions (Chart q and Appendix Table I+),
Industrial characteristics of a city appear to be somewhat
related to the proportion of relief families with female heads.
Some of the cities with higher than average ratios of female
heads were textile centers and cities in which many women work,
whereas some of the cities with low ratios were those in which
the working population consists chiefly of men.
Family composition is important in an analysis of the problem of families in which the head was a woman. Such data are
not available for individual cities in the present study, but
in the urban relief sample as a whole 92 percent of the families with female heads contained dependents, and over 50 percent contained children under 16 years of age. 10 The problem
was mitigated somewhat when there were other workers in the
family, but the fact remains that the absence of a man as family head is a great economic handicap, and that this handicap
was reflected in the relief rolls of the 79 cities studied.

E•ployabll lty C0111poaltlon of Houaeho1d1
For administrative purposes the relief load at any given
time may be divided into two major groups, namely, employable
and unemployable cases. Households were classified as employable or unemployable by the present study according to whether
or not they possessed any member 16-61+ years of age working or
seeking work. Of course many pe,sons who were reported seeking
work were so handicapped by physical or mental disabilities
that they belonged in the unemployable group. The proportion
of households classified by the present study as unemployable
is therefore somewhat understated. The employable households
were made up chiefly of those with all members unemployed but

Three types of relief cases probably accounted for most of
the group of unemployable households, namely, 1fOllleD with dependents, f•ilies in which the person who would normally be
working was disabled, and aged persons. All of these cases ~
of the type which is not, strictly speaking, an unemployment
relief group, but should be cared for by some form of categorical. public assistance. They were found in the general relief
rolls of these cities because of inadequate aid available from
public or private funds for such special cases at the time the
study was made. However, the relief load cared for in part or
in whole by Federal &nergency Relief funds in the 79 cities in
May 193q consisted mainly of families dependent upon such aid
because of unemployment or inadequate earnings :from whatever
emplo711ent they may have had. The discussion of the characteristics of the households which included workers 11 and the

characteristics of those workers will therefore constitute the
remainder of this report.

Nuaber of Workers and Size of Relief Households 12
Excluding both the households of one person and those without an employable member, the median size of case or household
for the urban relief sample as a whole was 3.9 persons, and
the nedian number of workers l. q_ In the 79 cities the two
medians raUled from 3.2 persons per household in Washington,
D. C., to q.9 persons in Gastonia, N. C., and from 1.2 workers
in Albuquerque, N. Mex., to 1.8 in Charleston, S. C. (Appendix
Table 61. It might be expected that the cities in which the
average size of household was high would also show a high average nU11ber of workers. In a few cities this was true, but in
other cities the average nW11ber of workers did not vary consistently with the size of case. For example, Charleston, S. C.,
had the highest median number of workers per case, but the median size of case was the same as the average for all cities.
The cities with larger than the average size of household were
rather widely scattered geographically and were of various
types; the cities with larger than the average number of workers, in general, showed one common characteristic, namely, they
were cities in which large numbers of women are normally ~mployed in a few selected industries including textile, cigar
and tobacco, food, clothing, and domestic service. The sex
distribution of workers on relief also showed a high proportion
of women in the cities in which the average number of workers
per case was high. It appears that the average number of workers per relief household, therefore, is markedly influenced by
the proportion of women among the wrking population of the
city.

Household Heads Who Had Never Worked
Heads of households without work experience constitute a
special vocational problem which in 111any instances may be basic
to the relief problem. In most of the cities in which the survey was made the ratio of household heads who had never worked
to all household heads was above 10 percent, and in a nu111ber of
cities it was considerably higher ( Appendix Table 8 I. Such persons were chiefly young men looking for their first jobs, and,
to a lesser extent, older women who had been forced to enter
the labor market because of economic reverses or other disaster
to the male members who would normally have been the source of

support of the family. As wuld be expected because of age
differences, the average number of dependents was uniformly
lower for inexperienced heads than for beads of households who
had previously worked, 13 but the important !act is that many
of them were responsible for the care of dependents and were a
significant part of the relief problem in a number of the cities
suneyed.

Soclo-econoalc Clas• of Head• of Hou1ehold1
The socio-economic class of the usual occupation of the head
of the household ma, be taken as a rough measure of the previous economic and social level of families on relief. The occupational. status of the head of the family is frequently somewhat
higher than that of other workers in the family, and this is
reflected in the higher proportion of skilled workers among
heads of families than anong all workers on relief. 14 This
difference is in part due to the !act that heads have a higher
average age and have had more opportunity !or obtaining occupational. experience. Al though the differences among the 79 cities in respect to the socio-economic class of heads of households were great, it is nevertheless true that each of the four
main socio-economic classes was well represented among the
headso! households in all cities (Appendix Table 7). The socioeconomic class of heads of households on relief showed interesting differences from the same classification of all workers
on relief. These differences, as well as a further analysis of
the socio-economic class of all 'tl'Orkers by sex, are presented
in the more detailed occupational. analysis in Chapter II.

Chapter II

THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC CLASS OF THE USUAL OCCUPATION
AND THB USUAL INDUSTRY OF WORKERS ON
RBLIBF IN THE 79 CITIES
The occupational characteristics and industrial origins of
workers on relief are significant in two respects: (1) for the
purpose of describing the workers themselves; and (2) for the
purpose of measuring the incidence of relief for different occupations and industries. Other characteristics such as &ge,
sex, race, and duration of une111ployment not only add to the
broad picture of the workers on relief but also assist in answering some of the import&nt quest ions &bout such workers, one
of which concerns their chances of re-e111ployment in private industry. Part I of this report has presented a fuller analysis
of the latter problem than can be undertaken for individu&l
cities. The occupational and industrial data for individual
cities lend themselves to a different type of analysis than was
possible in the urb&n relief sample because use of the smaller
unit, one city, brings out a more specific relationship between
the economic conditions &nd the composition of the relief population in May 1931.J. Such relationships were necessarily less
clear-cut in the urban summary in which the identity of the
cities was lost.
In the following analysis, the usual socio-economic class
and the usual industry of all experienced workers on relief, 1
whether unemployed or employed, are described first. Relief
to unemployed workers is a distinctly different problem from
relief to employed workers whose earnings in private employment are inadequate for the support of their families. Nevertheless, it is important to examine the occupational characteristics of the total relief load in each city in order to
obtain a complete picture of the problem. The broad socioeconomic classification of the usual occupations of workers on
relief and the industries in which these workers were usually
employed portray general economic factors in the relief prob-

Since the unemployed are in all cities the largest group of
workers on relief and therefore constitute the major part of
the relief problem, additional analysis of the city differences
in the characteristics of these workers is made in chapter III.
City comparisons revealing significant differences or si■ila~
ity in patterns constitute the method of analysis in both chapters II and II I.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC CLASS OF THE USUAL OCCUPATION OF
WORIBRS ON RBLIBF
The existence of rather definite city patterns is reYealed
in the occupational classes of workers on relief in Kay 193'J. 1
These patterns are influenced by economic type of city and also
by sex and race differences in the populations of the 79 cities.
Although the data are not presented bJ race, it is eYident that
in the cities in which Negroes were a large proportion of the
workers on relief, the ratio of unskilled workers, either laborers or servants, was high (Appendix Table 9). The racial
characteristics are, of course, influenced by the location of
cities.

Relationship between Type of City and Soclo-econ011lc Clas, of
Workers on Relief
The socio-economic class of the occupations of workers on
relief shows a definite relationship to the econOlllic character
of the city. White collar workers were a larger proportion of
all workers on relief in large commercial cities such as Los
Angeles, San Diego, Oakland, New York, San Francisco, Duluth,
Minneapolis, and Salt Lake CitJ, as well as in smaller C011111e~
cial centers such as Sioux Falls, S. Oak., aud Minot, N. Oak.;
in industrial or mining cities theywere proportionall1 a smaller group. In southern cities white collar workers were of less
significance than in northern cities, thus reflecting the effect
of racial composition of the relief population.
The largest proportions of skilled workers were found in
metal manufacturing cities, that is, cities in which iron,
steel, and electrical supply industries were predollinant, and
in a few large commercial centers. In the metal manufacturing
cities, skilled workers are important to the chief industries
and in. commercial centers, the building trades account for the
large proportion of skilled workers on relief. The 10 cities
with the largest proportion of skilled workers 811l0ng those on
relief were Saginaw, Mich., SchenectadJ, N. Y.,Rockford, Ill.,

Buffalo, N. Y., Detroit, Hieb., Rochester, N. Y., Everett,
Wash., Milwaukee, Wis., Oakland, Calif., and Hibbing, Minn.
Comparatively few skilled workers were found on relief in southern cities or in mining centers, except in Hibbing. 3
The cities in which semiskilled workers were a larger than
average proportion of all workers on relief were manufacturing
centers, especially textile cities and those in which manufacturing of shoes or gloves was the predominant industry. Semiskilled workers, both men and women, were numerous in such cities as Manchester, N. H., Gloversville, N. Y., Gastonia, N. C.,
Shelton, Conn., Derby, Conn., Paterson, N. J., Providence, R. I.,
Lynn, Hass., Kenosha, Wis., and Ansonia, Conn.
Of the cities with the largest proportions of unskilled workers on relief, mining cities and southern cities of various industrial types were conspicuous. In minin2 towns it was men
who accounted for the large numbers of unskilled workers, and
in southern cities unskilled women were also numerous. The 10
cities with the largest proportion of unskilled workers in the
relief load were Shenandoah, Pa., Butte, Mont., Lake Charles,
La., Bowling Green, Ky., Norfolk, Va., Charlotte, N. C., Washington, D. C., Lexington, Ky., Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and Birmingham,
Ala. ( Chart 6).

Sex Differences In the Socio-economic Class of Usual Occupation
of Workers on Rel lef
The socio-economic class of men and that of women differed
widely in most of the cities surveyed; workers of both sexes
were, however, more heavily concentrated in unskilled occupations than in other occupations in many cities. Thus, in q7 of
the 79 cities, the largest group of men on relief came from unskilled occupations. The range in the proportion of unskilled
men in all cities was from 16 percent in Lynn, Hass., to 82
percent in Shenandoah, Pa., whereas the average for all cities
combined was about 35 percent. Semiskilled men constituted the
largest group of male workers in 26 cities, most of which were
specialized manufacturing centers where operatives from different types of factories were heavily represented among the men
on relief. The range in the proportion of semiskilled workers
to all workers in the cities studied was from 6 percent in
Shenandoah, Pa., to 53 percent in Rochester, N. Y., the average for the urban relief sample being 26 percent. In only
seven cities was the largest single group of men on relief from
skilled occupations, namely, Bridgeport, Buffalo, Los Angeles,

Minneapolis, Oakland, San Diego, and San Francisco. All of
these cities except Bridgeport and Buffalo were commercial.
rather than manufacturing centers, and the high proportion of
skilled workers was due to the importance of building trades
workers in the relief load of these five cities.
Wbi te collar workers were the least important of the four
major socio-economic classes among men on relief. Within the
white collar group the relative numerical importance of professional, proprietary, and clerical male workers varied greatly
from city to city. The clerical. group was the largest in most
cities; the proprietary, second largest; and the professional
group, the smallest. In a few cities such as Enid, Okla.,

URBAN WORIBRS ON RBLIBP

In no cities were stilled women worters especially numerous
in the relief load, but in six cities in which the largest group
of men workers was fro111 stilled occupations, women from white
collar occupations were the largest group of women on relief.
In a majority of the 79 cities white collar occupations were
relatively more important among women than among men. Further111ore, the women from the white collar group were chiefly clerical workers, the professional and the proprietary groups being
less important than Mong the men. In general the socio-economic class of women workers on relief varied much more widely
from city to city than did that of the men, asmay be seen from
Appendix Tables 10 and 11.

INDUSTRIBS IN WHICH WORKERS ON RBLIEF WERE
USUALLY EMPLOYBD
A knowledge of the industries in which workers on relief had
previously been employed is essential to an understanding of
the economic factors largely responsible for this dependency
problem. The economic position of an industry at any given
time is, of course, dependent upon many seasonal and long-term
factors, which should be borne in mind throughout the following
discussion, although their importance cannot be analyzed here.
Other factors also influence the relief problem at a given time
or in a given col'lllftunity, but the effect of economic conditions
upon the relief load of a co11111ani ty is probably the strongest
single factor from a long-tem point of view. The general findings in respect to the economic factors have already been presen ted for the urban relief sample as a whole. The following
analysis emphasizes city differences in this general pattern.
Detailed industry data are presented in Appendix Table 12 for
each of the 79 cities.
In most of the cities in which the study was made, manufacturing and mechanical industries were the most important industry groups; 5 in a few cities mining was predominant. Both manufacturing and mining were affected more severely by unemployment than other industries and it is not surprising to find that
in the cities in which each was important, the relief load
clearly reflected this situation. Thus, the proportion of workers on relief who reported their usual employment in manufacturing and mechanical industries or in mining exceeded the proportion in these industries in the gainful population of 1930
in most southern cities and a few specialized industrial cities

ia which the chief industry for some specific reason was underrepresented on relief. In general, three other industry groups
also accounted for larger proportions of all workers on relief
in May 193" than of all gainful workers in the cities in 1930:
agriculture, fishing and forestry, and domestic and personal
se"ice. The first two of these were of minor size in most
cities; domestic and personal service was second to manufacturing and mechanical industries in most cities and presents special problems which will be discussed later. Because of the
uniTersal importance of manufacturing and mechanical industries
and because of significant differences among the industries
within this group, it is considered first and in somewhat greater detail than the other main groups of industries.

Bulldlng Industry and Related Industries
Of the industries classified as manufacturing and mechanical,
the building industry accounted for relatively large numbers
of workers on relief i.n all cities. In all but 2 of the 79
cities, workers from building trades were a larger proportion
of all workers on relief than of gainful workers in the general
population of 1930 in these cities. The two exceptions were
Butte, Mont., and Gastonia, N. C., in which workers on strike
fr0111 mines and cot ton 111ills distorted the distribution of workers on relief. Workers from building trades were comparatively
large proportions of &11 workers on relief in commercial cities
such as Washington, Boston, and New York City. In the weighted
urban relief sample they constituted 13 percent of the total,
and in indiTidual cities they ranged from 22 percent in Washington, D. C., to only 3 percent in Butte, Mont. (Chart 71.
In q9 of the 79 cities building workers were from 10 to 15 percent of all workers on relief. In only 9 cities were they more
than l!) percent, and in 21 cities they were less than 10 percent of the total. The relief picture in respect to building
workers appears, therefore, to have been strikingly similar in
110st of the cities surveyed, and in many cities workers formerly
employed in the building industry were the largest group of
workers on relief fr0111 any single industry.
Two ■annfacturing and mechanicd industries in which unemployaent is affected by fluctuation in the building trades are the
lnaber industry and the clay, glass, and stone industry. In 7
of the 79 cities lumber mills and factories of the type related

URBAN WORKERS ON RELIEF

The clay, glass, and stone industry was relatively important
in 10 cities and in 7 of these it was over-represented among
workers on relief. Thus, workers from both of these industries
which are economically related to the building industry were
relatively more numerous among workers on relief, in general,
than among gainful workers in the 1930 population of thecities.

Metal Industries
Two other industries related in part to building are blast
furnaces and steel rolling mills, and other iron and steel industries. In Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Duluth, the three cities in which blast furnaces and steel rolling mills were the
largest industry, workers on relief from this industry were a
slightly larger proportion of all workers on relief than were
gainful workers from this industry in the 1930 population.
Other iron and steel industries were important in a larger number of cities and in approximately half of these cities workers
from this industry appeared to be over-represented on relief.
The picture of both of these industries in this study seems to
be much more favorable than would be expected from a knowledge
of the state of the industries and employment in them in Hay
193LJ. The breadth of the industrial classification is undoubtedly responsible in part for these conditions in connect ion with
iron and steel industries, for the individual industries included are not at all homoi?eneous in character and therefore
reflect widely different conditions in different cities. In
the case of blast furnaces and steel rolling mills, the results
of the study may be partially inadequate because only the cities themselves and not industrial areas were covered in the survey; since many large blast furnaces and steel rolling mills
are on the outskirts of a city, with workers also living outside the city, the limitations of the coverage of such workers
in this study are obvious. However, it is also possible that
factors such as greater mobility or economic resources of workers from these industries tended to keep them off relief rolls
even though they were i?reatly affected by unemplOftllent.
Three other industries which may also be characterized as
metal are metal industries except iron and steel, electrical
machinery and supply factories, and aut0111obile factories and
repair shops. Workers from the first of these three industries,
metal except iron and steel, constituted larger proportions of
the relief population than of the general population in 193()
in most cities in which they were important, the exceptions
being Kenosha, Wis., andBridgeport, Conn. Electrical machinery
and supply factories, however, revealed opposite tendencies in
that workers from them were a smaller proportion of relief workers in all cities in which the industry was important than of

URBAN WORKERS ON RELIEF

the gainful workers in these cities in 1930 (Schenectady, N. Y.,
Bridgeport, Conn., Fort Wa,ne, Ind., and Lynn, Mass.). The combining of workers from aut01110bile factories and repair shops ia
the city data conceals what appeared in the urban su11111ary to
be different characteristics for 1110rkers from auto11obile factories as distinct from repair shops. e The fomer were definitely under-represented among workers on relief, whereas the
latter were over-represented. The under-representation of workers from automobile factories is strikingly shown in Detroit.
In cities where automobile factories were unimportant and repair shops accounted for most of the workers classified as from
automobile factories or repair shops, such workers were overrepresented on relief.. In the case of the rubber industry,
which is closely related to the aut011obile industry, particularly in Akron, t~e same tendency towards under-representation
among workers on relief was found. The figures for Akron especi ally ma, reflect the effect of seasonal operations in the
major industry upon the relief load in the month in which this
study was made.

Consumers' Goods Industries
The remaining industries classified as manufacturing and mechanical are chiefly what are commonly called consumers' goods
industries. 7 In general these industries have been less severely affected by cyclical. unemployment than have the so-called
heavy industries al.though they have been continuously affected
by seasonal unemployment. The most inportant of the consumers'
goods industries are probably the manufacture of textiles,
shoes, food, and clothing; it might be expected that such industries 1110uld show similar relationship between econoaic conditions and relief loads, but differences among them, even for
the same industries in different cities, are clearly indicated
in the present study. To some extent, however, cities in which
the same industry predominated show similar characteristics in
respect to the workers on relief.
Textile industries were fairly important in 17 cities. In
about half of these, workers on relief from textile industries
accounted for proportionally more workers than in the general
populations of the cities; and in the other half they accounted
for fewer. The cities which showed an over-representation of
workers from textile industries were chiefly the cotton textile

towns (Manchester, N. H., Gastonia, N. C., Burlington, Vt.,
Ansonia, Conn., and Derb7, Conn. L 1 In the cities in which
silt was iaportant, Paterson, N. J., Wilkes-Barre, Pa., and
Gloversville, N. T., workers from the industry appeared to be
on relief in saaller proportions than among all gainful workers
iD 1930, Yith the exception of Rockford, Ill., workers from
knitting ■ ills were apparently under-represented on relief in
comparison with their 1930 proportions. Workers from the miscellaneous textile industries were a slightly larger proportion
of all workers on relief in the three cities in which such industries were found than in the 19,:) working population of those
cities.
Workers froaclothing industries and shoe factories revealed
similar tendencies in respect to their proportions in relief
loads. In the cities in which they were most important they
were almost universally over-represented on relief. There were
two exceptions: Gloversville, N. Y.,• with its highly specialized industry of glove manufacturing, and St. Louis, where workers from shoe industries were a smaller part of the relief than
of the general population.
Of the workers from the food industries, those who had for■erly worked in bakeries and slaughter and packing houses accounted for rel&tively fewer workers on relief than in the
general population of 1930, whereas workers fr011 other food industries were over-represented in 11ost cities. For example,
in Biloxi, Hiss. , where fish canning is important, twice as
high a proportion of workers on relief as in the working population of 1930 were from food industries. The fishing and canning season in Biloxi closed shortl1 before the study was made,
so that the large proportion of workers on relief from this industry was largel1 due to seasonal factors.
In seven of the eight cities in which cigar and tobacco factories were important, workers frOIII these industries formed a
larger proportion of all workers on relief than of gainful workers in the cities in 1930, This was particularly conspicuous
in Charleston, S. C., Lexington, (y., and Findlay, Ohio.
Manufacturing and mechanical industries were, in general,
over-represented among workers on relief in most of the 79 cities. Wide differences existed among different types of manufacturing industries, however, and, for the same industry,
differences existed M10ng the cities in which the industry was
important.

towards greater concentration of workers on relief than in the
working population. This was particularly true of the building

industry, clothing and cotton textile industries, and certain
food industries. Other industries showed an opposite tendency,
especially electrical supply factories, and certain industries
broadly classified as metal manufacturing.

Other Groups of Industries
In a few cities such as Butte, Mont., Shenandoah, Pa., Bibbing, Minn., and Wilkes-Barre, Pa., extraction of minerals is
the largest industry. In Butte, a strike of workers in copper
mines accounted not only for an excessh'ely large proportion
of miners on relief but also for the exceedingly hiah relief
rate of the community. In the three other cities miners were
also a larger proportion of the relief load than of the general
working population. Mining was thus over-represented in the
relief loads of the four mining cities included in the surYey.
Domestic and personal service was second to manufacturing
and mechanical industries in numerical importance in most cities. With few exceptions, workers from this industry were a
considerably larger proportion of all workers on relief than
of gainful workers in these cities in 1930. This was particularly true in southern cities where the proportion of domestic
service workers to all workers on relief was S011etimes twice
as great as in the general population.
Two other industry groups of smaller numerical importance
which were more heavily represented in the relief than in the
general population were agriculture, to and fishing and forestr7.
In respect to agriculture, the high incidence of relief ma, result from the fact that both famers and farm laborers were
attracted to neighbo~ing towns by relief which was more available in towns and cities than in rural cOlldlunities in the earlier period of Federal assistance. The relatively great importance of fishing and forestry among workers on relief is due
to different reasons in different communities. In some, it was
the generally depressed or seasonal conditions in either fishing or forestry; in others, it was the fact that young men had
been sent to the Civilian Conse"ation Corps and their jobs,
classified as forestry, abnormally increased the proportion of
such workers on relief in communities in which few such workers
would otherwise be found.

were trade, professional service, and public service. Since
employment intbese industries bas held a relatively high level
during the depression, workers from them would be expected to
be less heavily represented on relief than workers from many
other industries. Of the transportation and communication
group, steam railroads showed the same tendency as the above
industries; workers from other transportation and communication
industries were over-represented on relief rolls in orany cities,
because of the effect of work relief upon the industry. Many
of the workers on relief in May 1931' who reported their usual
industry as road and street building bad bad their first and
only job on the road building proJects that predominated in the
early stages of work relief programs. The other transportation
and communication industry group, therefore, included an abnormally high proportion of workers on relief.

MAJOR OCCUPATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF UNEMPLOYED
YORIBRS ON RELIEF IN THE 79 CITIES
Unemployed workers were bf far the largest group of workers
on relief in 110st of the 79 cities; they constituted at le11St
a ujori tr of all workers on relief in every city except Butte,
Hontana. 1 The ultillate solution of the unemployment relief
problea, therefore, depends upon the prospects of re-employment of these workers in private industrJ. The opportunity for
earployaent is, of course, the first prerequisite, but in addition, the relative employability of the workers themselves is
also important. The ■ajor occupational characteristics--age,
occupation, and duration of eiaplo7111ent-are of great significance in connection with emplo7abilitJ. These characteristics
are inter-related and a!!ect ■ateria.lly a worker's chance of
re-emplo7111ent 1 in private industry. Thus a work.er with adequate occupational experience ■af have reached an age at which
he is discriminated against in hiring; this fact together with
a long period of idleness would undoubtedly militate against
his obtaining a job unless there were a scarcity of labor. Although no attempt is aade in the following discussion to relate
statisticallJ these factors of occupation, age, and duration
of unemplo,-ent, their inter-relationship should not be overlooked.
USUAL OCCUPATION OP UNIHPLOYED WORKERS ON RELIEF
A complete picture of occupational experience of unemployed
workers cannot be shown in simple statistical terms. This study,
however, attempts to give the broad outline of such experience
bJ presentina the Hual occupation which, in most instances,
is probably that of greatest significance in an individual's
work histor,. The usual occupation of all unemployed workers
l~!J years of age on relief in each of the 79 cities is presented in considerable detail in Appendix Table i,. These

Distribution of UnMployed Workers on Relief and of Gainful
Workers In 1930 •ong Main Occupational Groups In SO Cltle,
A comparison o! the occupational distribution o! unemployed
workers on relief with the occupational distribution o! gain!111 workers in the population o! 1930 indicates the differences
in the incidence o! relief !or different occupations in the 60
cities !or which occupational data are available in the Census
(Appendix Table 13}. The deta.Ued occupational data presented
in these appendix tables may be more easily suaaarized, howeYer,
by the use o! 10 occupational groups which are in part a broad
industry classification. Two differences should be noted between the 10 aain occupational groups discussed here and the
10 main industry aroups discussed in chapter II. First, tbe
occupation data include ouly uneaployed workers rather than all
workers on relief; and second, the classification by ■ain occupational aronps differs somewhat from the industry classification. In the industry classification all workers are grouped
under the industry in which they are usually employed, regardless o! their occupation,. and the industry is then listed under
one o! the main industry groups. For example, all workers in
glass factories are classified in the group clay, glass, and
stone industries, under the aain group aanufacturing and ■e­
chanical industries. In the occupational classification, however, all workers are grouped accoi-dlng to their usual occupation, reaardless o! the industry in which they are usually
employed. The occupations are then classified under that general group in which they are aost apt to be pursued: truck
drhers under transportation; blacksaiths under ■anu!acturing
and aechanical. Clerks, who appear in all fields o! industry,
are classified in a separate aroup, clerical occupations.
0a the basis of a coaparison of tbeir relath'e i■portace
aaong the noraal working population and the relief population,
the 10 occupational groups are dh'ided into 2 classes: (1) those
occupational groups wbic• in most cities constituted a lar,er
proportion o! the unemployed workers on relief than o! all gaiatui workers; (2) those that were a saaller proportion o! the

URBAN WORIBRS ON RELIEF
The occupational group second in importance to manufacturing
in most cities was domestic and personal se"ice. As would be
expected, persons in these low-paid, unstable types of jobs
were found in greater proportions on the relief rolls than in
the working population in most of the 60 cities. In six cities
(Boston, Mass., Bridgeport, Conn., Charleston, S. C., RYerett,
Wash., New York,N. Y., and ProYidence, R. I.) the domestic and
personal service group was relatively larger a1110ng the gainful
workers than among workers on relief, and in Saginaw, Hieb.,
it formed the same proportion of each. In all of these cities
except Charleston,$. C., the proportion of the total number in
the occupation of se"ants proper was unusuallr small both in
the relief and in the 1930 population. In general, southern
cities showed the greatest difference between total gainful
workers and unemployed on relief from do111est ic and personal service occupations. Norfolk, Va., with 19 percent of its gainful
workers in 1930 and IJ3 percent of its relief load i-11 this group,
had the largest nriation. Cities showing the sullest difference between the relief and general populations were largely
northern and western manufacturing and commercial centers, where
the number usually employed in domestic and ~rsonal service
was not more than 10 percent of each population.
Transportationand collll'llunication occupations were relatively
important in the relief population of lllOSt of the 60 cities.
In only five cities (Charleston, S. C., Norfolk, Va., Wilmington, Del., Birmingham, Ala., Wilkes-Barre, Pa.) was the proportion among workers on relief as small as the proportion in the
general population.
In the six cities of Akron, Ohio, San
Diego, Calif., Paterson, N. J., Albuquerque, N. Mex., Sioux
Falls, S. Oak., and Wheeling, W. Va., workers in transportation
and co111D1unication occupations were about twice as large a proportion of the relief population as of the nor11&l working population of the cities. This occupational group would have been
somewhat less important aaong workers on relief in lllOSt cities
had it not been for the fact t bat many workers who had had no
other usual occupation than relief wrk bad worked as laborers
in the building and maintenance of roads, streets, sewers, and
bridges, which occupations were classified in transportation
and communication.'
Agriculture and fishing and forestry were unimportant occupational groups for the nor111al population in lllOSt of the !iO
cities. But in a number of cities the proportion on relief was
larger t ban the proportion of gainful workers in 1930. The
reasons for this may have been, first, in the case of agricultural occupations, the drift of rural unemployed workers to
'workers Whose only experlence had been at work rellet lobe rePorted thos•

cities in which relief was frequently more easily available,
or the presence on relief of comparatively large numbers of retired f&nllers; second, in the case of forestry, the inclusion
of workers in CiTilian Conse"ation Corps in this category; and
third, in fishing, the seasonal or general economic conditions
in the cities in which fishing was important. Ten percent or
110re of the unemployed on relief in six cities reported their
usual occupations in agriculture Ulbuqnerque, N. Hex., Charlotte, N. C., Enid, Okla., Lexington, Ky., Sioux City, Iowa,
and Sioux Palls, S. Dak.t. In each of these cities the proportion was higher than &1110ng gainful workers in 1930,
Mining occupations were also relatively unimportant in most
of the 60 cities, the exceptions
being Butte, Mont., Joplin
Mo., and Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 6 In these three cities miners were
a auch larger proportion of unemployed workers on relief than
of gainful workers in 1930,
The four remaining occupational groups were less heavily
represented aaong une111ployed workers on relief than in the general populationofthe 60 cities with the one exception of public se"ice occupations in Schenectady, N. Y.
The 3 other
groups, trade, professional service, and clerical occupations
were of varying importance in the 60 cities. Professional service, though not generally important in the relief load of 110st
cities, was of greatest importance in the relief load of Los
Angeles, and comparatively important also in New York, San Francisco, and Oakland. Workers from professional service were under-represented on relief even in these cities.
Workers in trade aade up 10 percent or more of the gainful
workers in all 60 cities, but were less important in industrial
than in canercial centers. This difference by type of city
was reflected in the relief load, although workers from trade
were a saaller proportion of the relief group than of all gainful workers in 1930, In about one-third of the 6o cities, trade
occupations were less than half as large proportionately among
the relief group as among the 1930 population.
Clerical workers, and also workers in trade pursuits, were
■ore important in the gainful and relief populations of those
larger cities which were not chief17 manufacturing in character
than in other cities. For example, the city with the largest
proportion of unemployed on relief in this oecupational group
was New York, with 10 percent. Al though Washington had the
largest proportion of its gainful workers in clerical occupations in 1930, it was the city which showed the greatest difference between the proportion of its workers normally employed
in clerical jobs and their proportion among unemployed on relief;

URBAN WORKERS ON RELIEF

22 percent of all gainful l«:>rkers in Washington in 1930 were
classed as clerical workers , whereas aaong those on relief in
1931.J, only 3 percent reported these occupations. The extent
of government emplo711ent aong- clerical workers ia Washington
undoubtedly accounted tor this diUerence. Southern cities,
for the most part, bad the widest ditferences in the proportion
of clerical workers in the relief as compared with the general
populations.
The occupational distribution ot unemployed wrkers on relief
in the 19 cities tor which no c011parisons with the 1930 working
population are &Yailable ■a1 be seen in Appendix Table 13.

The I Larae1t Occupation• Altong un.. ployed Worker, on
Relief In 79 Cltle1
The main occupational groups discussed aboYe give a general
picture of the type of occupations represented •ong unemplo7ed
workers on relief in 60 of the 79 cities and their relatiYe importance b7 comparison with the occupational distribution of
the 1930 population in these cities. Such large occupational
groups, however, conceal certain significant facts concerning
the occupational distribution of workers on relief. Host important of these is the tendency toward concentration of une11plo7ed workers on relief in a few occupations . CeFtain occupations recur among · the largest six in 11ost of the 79 cities, and
their proportion in the relief population usually exceeds their
proportion among all gainful workers in 1930.
Somewhat oYer one-third of the experienced u,u!IIQ1M>7ed workers in the urban relief sample as a whole were iucluded in six
occupations: servants, chauffeurs and truck dri..-ers, building
and general laborers, salesmen and sales1«men, carpenters, and
painters. From 25 to 35 percent of all unemployed workers on
relief were from these occupations in 1.16 of the 79 cities. The
proportion was lowest I 10. percent I in Shenandoah, Pa., where
mine laborers constituted two-thirds ot all workers on relief.
The proportion was highest 153 percent I in Washington, where
service and building workers were especiall7 numerous.
The majoriw of cities having relativel7 large proportions
of unemployea on relief from these six major occupations were
southern and western. In eastern and central cities the sit
occupations were much less important. The economic character
of a city , however, is ot equal importance with geographical
location in determining what proportion of its relief population
comes from these six occupations. In specialized manufacturing
and mining centers the major part of tbe population worked in
occupations peculiar to the d011inant industry. The six largest
occupations of the urban relief population were those demanding
unspecialized, less skilled workers Cse"ants, chauffeurs and

tt'llck drivers, general laborers) and skilled building workers.
Building workers are a relatively larger part of the working
population and of the relief population in diversified manufacturing or co•ercial centers than in specialized cities.
Io southern cities well over 30 percent of the unemployed
on relief were from these six occupations, principally because
of the high proportion of servants on relief. The only exceptions in the South were Wheeling, W. Va., where coal miners and
workers in iron and steel industries made up a large part of
the relief load, and a few small cities with specialized industries, like Biloxi, Hiss., where fishermen and fish packers made
up q5 percent of workers on relief, and Gastonia, N. C., where
textile mill operatives accounted for q9 percent of the unemployed on relief.

Host western cities also drew a large part of their relief
unemployed from 1110rkers in these six occupations; only in Butte,
Mont., where the copper mining industry dominates the occupational characteristics of the city, was the percent in the six
occupations relatively low ( 18 percent I. Io eastern and central cities where manufacturing is of greater importance than
trade or domestic service, the six occupations had small representation in the relief population.
When the six largest occupations among the unemployed on
relief in each city are listed, servants are among the six in
all cities except Bridgeport and Derby, Conn.; chauffeurs and
truck drivers, in 65 cities; building and general laborers, in
53 cities; salesmen and salesW0111en, in q5 cities; carpenters,
in 32 cities; and painters, in 2q cities. Servants, chauffeurs
and tt'llck drivers, building and general laborers, and salesmen
and saleswomen appeared also aaong the six largest occupations
rather consistently throughout the four geographic areas. In
the East, operatives in textile mills and miscellaneous manufacturing were next in importance; in the South, farm laborers
and laundresses; in central cities, operatives in iron and steel
industries, and clerks; and in the West, farm laborers and
miners (Appendix Table 1q1.

proportions of the unemployed on relief than in commercial or
diversified manufacturing cities. Twenty-nine of the 79 cities
fell into the specialized 111anufacturing or mining classification according to the definition used, and occupatio~s characteristic of the most important industry in the city were the
largest among the unemployed on relief. Thirteen of these 29
cities were metal or machinery centers; 5 were textile cities;
7 were centers of rubber, food, clothing, leather, or lumber
and furniture industries; and q were mining towns (Table 111.
In all but 6 of these 29 cities of specialized economic type,
one-fifth or more of the unemployed on relief were from occupations defini tel7 related to the predominant industry. The
most extreme concentrations were in the mining cities, in Gastonia, N. C., a textile city, and Biloxi, Hiss., a fishing and
canning center.
Of the 20 cities for which comparisons with the 1930 populat ion are made, 13 had a larger proportion of the unemployed
workers on relief from the occupations related to the most important industry in the city than the proportion in the population of 1930. The seven cities in which the opposite was the
case were: four of the metal cities, Bridgeport, Cleveland,
Detroit, and Saginaw; two textile cities, Paterson and Reading;
and a rubber city, Akron.

Co.parison of Relief and General Populations in Respect to Proportion of Norkers in the I Largest Occupations in ISO Cities
When the proportion of the unemployed on relief in 1931l in
each of the 6 largest occupations in the urban relief sample
is compared with that of the gainful population in the same occupation in 1930 in 60 ci tiei:1, 7 it is found that in most cities
the relief proportion was greater for all occupations except
salesmen and saleswomen. 8 In all cities salesmen and saleswomen
constituted a smaller proportion of the unemployed on relief
than of the gainful workers; in three-fifths of the cities the
relief proportion was less than half as great as that in the
normal working population. Chauffeurs and truck drivers, on
the other hand, were a larger proportion of workers on relief
in 193q than of gainful workers in 1930 in every city; servants
were also relatively more numerous among workers on relief than
among gainful workers in every city except Charleston; carpenters, in all but five cities (Norfolk, Va., Albuquerque, N. Hex.,

Houston, Texas, Enid, Okla., Jackson, Miss., Evansville, Ind.,

were over-represented in the relief load of Ma, 1931.J in eYer,
city except Butt.e, Mont., and in two-thirds of the 60 cities
they were at least twice as large a proportion of workers on
relief as of gainful workers in 1930. In general, therefore,
it may be said that !5 of the 6 lareest occupations in the
urban relief load as a whole were a larger proportion of the
total unemployed on relief than of the total gainful workers
in most of the 60 cities. .Among the 32 eastern and central cities with populations over 2!5,000, only Boston, Mass., Pittsburgh,
Pa., Kansas City, Mo., Indianapolis, Ind., and Minneapolis,
Minn., showed a proportion of workers in the six occupations
at or above the average of 31.J percent.

The Largest Single Occupation by Race and Sex of
Unemployed Workers on Relief In the 79 Cities
The largest single occupation for each race and sex group
not only reveals the differences in predominant occupations for
each group of workers, but also indicates the wider occupational.
rangeofwhite and Negro men on relief in the 79 cities than of
the women of either race. In well over half of the citJes, the
largest usual occupation for men of both races accounted for
less than 1!5 percent of the unemployed men of either race on
relief. In over two-thirds of the cities studied, the largest,
occupation of unemployed white women contained 20 percent or
more of their total on relief, and in all but two of the important Negro centers, the largest occupation among Negro workers on relief included over half of the unemplo7ed Negro W0111en.
White men had the greatest range of usual occupations. The
most important single occupation, chauffeurs and truck drivers,
appeared as the largest in less than a third of the cities. In
the South, in cities over 2~,000 population, their largest occupation was more often that of carpenters; in smaller southern
cities, it was farm laborers. In eastern and central cities,
some type of factory operative was frequently the largest occupation of white men on relief.
The largest occupation for white 'WOlllen was generally that of
servants; but in the South, where Ne1ro 'WOlllen fill most of the
servant jobs, the largest occupation of the white 1«)aen was
that of saleswomen, except for clothing operatives in Baltimore,
Md., operatives in cigar factories in Charleston, S. C., and
Lexington, Ky., and operatives in textile mills in Charlotte,
N. C., and Gastonia, N. C. In those eastern and central cities
in which the clothing industry is important, as in New York,
Bridgeport, St. Louis, and Rochester, the largest occupation
for white women was that of clothing operatives; in Evansville,

Ind., it was that of ciear operatives; in Paterson, N. J.,
Readiae, Pa., Manchester, N. H., .Ansonia, Coon., and Derby,

The lareest occupation for Negro men was most often that of
buildine laborers; but in a,ricultural centers it was farm laborers; and in aoae of the larize commercial cities, such as
New York, Clenland, Minneapolis, and Atlanta, it was that of
chauffeurs and truck drivers. The largest occupation for Negro
WOilen was invariablJ that of senants. The proportion of Negro
11101Ben concentrated in this occupation was 70 percent in Wil■ iagton, Del., and 80 percent in Joplin, Ho. A few related domestic occupations, such as laundresses, waitresses, and char1«>11en, ~re the onlJ other occupations in which Negro women
appeared in any numbers in anJ citJ.
AGE OF UNEMPLOYED WORIBRS ON RELIEF IN 79 CITIES

The a,e of an unemployed worker is almost as important as
his occupation in deter■ inine his chance of re-employment.
Statistical aeasurement is exceedinlllY difficult, for a worker
in one occupation aa, be at a great disadvantage in his prospects for being re-hired at ti!5 years of age, whereas a worker
in another occupatioo, especially a skilled trade, ma, not be
under UJ handicap at this age. Furthermore, in the consideration of &Ile characteristics of unemployed workers on re lief,
it should be reme111bered that factors other than the incidence
of uaeaplo,-ent fordifferent age rroups detennined their presence on relief. Snch factors included the previous economic
status of workers, the number of their dependents, the extent
to which funds were available to care for all needy unemployed,
and the extent to which other fonis of caterorical relief may
have been available.
In the urbail relief suple as a whole it was found that the
average age of wrkers OD relief was somewhat higher than the
average for gainful workers in 1930. Data for many cities appear to substantiate the findings of the summary of all cities
in respect to 8Q'e, but in certain cities the 1i110rkers were slightlJ 1ounger than those in the workinr population.
The highest average age of workers of both sexes on relief
(qo years) was reported in Saginaw, Mich., and Klamath Falls,
Oreg. The lowest average age (30 years) was reported in Gastonia, N. C. This range of n years in the average &!?es reported for workers in the 79 cities reflects differences in the
sex and racial composition of the population and in the economic character of each city. City-size of itself had apparently
no influence on the average age of the relief population of
Ma, 193Q in the 79 cities surveyed.

of workers on relief would undoubtedl7 be higher than the average for all gainful workers if, the inexperienced persons seeking
their first jobs were omitted from the relief data, since it
is known that the average age of inexperienced work seekers was
low. 10 This would be true especial17 in the cities in which
the proportion of inexperienced to all workers was high. In
two cities, nael7, Cincinnati, Ohio, and Everett, Wash.·, the
l'lledian age of workers in both relief and general populations
was the same, 35.!5 and 36. 7 years respectively. In 25 of tbe

workers, the average age of ■en on relief revealed even greater

URBAN WORKERS ON RELIEF

2tJ cities the median fell between 25.0 and 29.9 months and in
18 cities it fell between 30.0 and 3ti.9 months. The median
durations of unemployment formale and female workers on relief
showed the sa111e wide range in the medians in the 79 cities; the
modal group of cities was, however, different for each sex
( Table 161. In 119 cities the median for aen was fr0111 2!5. 0 to
311.9 months~ in 117 cities the median for w011en was fr011 15.0 to
2".9 months. Differences in duration of unemployment for ■ea
and w0111en will be discussed after inter-city differences haYe
been presented in greater detail.
Type of City as Related to Duration of Uneaployment

Of the nine cities having the longest median duration of unemplo)'Jllent for all workers on relief, 35.0 months or ■ore, five
were conspicuously cities in which the manufact•re of metal or
metal productsu dominated the economic life of the city (Ansonia, Conn., Saginaw, Mich., Schenectady, N. !., Cleveland, Ohio,
and Detroit, Mich. I; in three others (Chicago, Ill., Derby,
Conn., and Shelton, Conn. I metal industries were of more than
average importance, but other industries were also present; and
in the ninth city, Akron, rub her was the single important industry in the city. With the exception of Chicago and Derby,
all nine of these cities were characteristically specialized
manufacturing cities 18 (Chart 81.
Of the four cities at the other extreme, namely, those in
whic-h workers had a median duration of unemployment of less than
15,0 months, two were textile cities (Gloversville, N. Y., and
Gastonia, N. C. I; one was a fishing and canning center (Biloxi,
Hiss. I; and the fourth was acommercial center (Lakeland, Fla. I.
The nine cities in which the median was from 15.0 to 19,9 months
may also be considered to haYe relatively low average length
of unemployment; in three of them textiles were iaportant (Burlington, Vt., Paterson, N. J._, and Manchester, N, H. I; five
were commercial centers (Atlanta, Ga., Norfolk, Va., Lexington,
Ky. , Bowling Green, Ky. , and Ben ton Barbor, Mich. I ; and the
ninth was Washington, D. C., where the econoaic character of
the city is not clearly reflected in the relief load, since domestic service workers and unskilled building lahorers account
for unusually large proportions of workers on relief.
A further analysis of the average duration of uneaplo,-.ent
of workers on relief in the 79 cities leads to a few general
'conclusions as to the relationship between type of citJ and
12Tbe Htal or ■etal products 1nduatr1• retel"l'ed to here 1nclude: auto■ oblle tactorles, other iron and atHl lnduatrlea, brua ■ Ula, copper

duration of unemployment. In general the median duration of
unemployment was highest for writers in metal manufacturing
cities. In c0111111ercial cities such as New York, Los Angeles,
Minneapolis, and San Francisco, workers had somewhat lower averages than in the metal manufacturing cities; SOiie of the
coaanercial cities, particularly those in the South, fell in
the group of cities in which the average duration of uneaplo7ment was unusually low. Diversified manufacturing cities tended to be in the middle groups rather than in the group with
either the highest or lowest average length of unmployaent.
The cities in which the averages fell at one or the other extreme were largely specialized manufacturing cities in which
the position of the major industr7 in the cit7 in Ka, 1934 set
the pattern for the length of unemployment of workers on relief. The variations in duration of unemployaent for 1110rters
in cities of different t7Pes ma,· be seen in more detail in
Table 17.

It ma, be concluded that the major determinant of the duration of unemployment in Ma, 1934 was econ0111ic conditions in
the predominant industries of a cit7, although factors related
to occupation and income levels also affected the duration of
unemployment of workers on relief. T7Pe of cit7 appears to be
of more importance than size of geographical location in this
connection. Specialized cities, particularly saall ones, are
subject to extreme variations frOll the average for all cities
combined or for cities of this type largely because of the
complete dependence of the economic life of the city upon one
industry. Small cities contain a high proportion of stilled
workers who tend to be able to stay oft relief rolls longer
and wuld be expected to have longer periods of unemplopent.
Although diversified manufacturing or COIIIID.ercial cities show
wide differences because of the influence of varied t7Pes of
industrial. conditions, the ver7 fact of diversification of
their iitdustrial development or economic resources appears to
result in a duration of unemployment pattern nearer the average of the urban relief sample than that found in other types
of cities.

Size of City•• Related to Duration of Unemp1oY"'ent
The aTerage duration of unemployment for workers in cities
of each size-group as a whole shows a decreasing average length
of une11plo,-ent with decreasing size. The average for those in
cities of over 1,000,000 population is 29.6 months c0111pared to
25.9 aonths in cities with less than !50,000 population (Table
16). These averages are somewhat deceptiTe, however, as shown
by the wide r.ange of the medians for cities in the several sizegroups. Although the lowest median for cities under 50,000 is
also the lowest for all 79 cities, the highest median for this
size-group is also the highest for all size-groups. That is,
the range between the longest and shortest average period of
uneaplo,-ent increases ■arkedly with decreasing city-size; the
range for cities of 1,000,000 and over is only a.q months; for
cities fro■ 250,000 to 1,000,000 it is 17.9 months; for cities

33.7 aonths. Allowing for the fact that a different number of
cities ii each size-group might affect the range of difference,
neTertheless, it appears that the differences in duration of
uneaplo,-ent tend to increase as the size of the city decreases.
Furthel'IIOre, averages for all cities of a certain size-group
conceal the 110re important fact of this increase in the degree
of variation as the size of city decreases.

Regional Differences In Duration of Un-,loY"'ent
Workers in most southern cities bad shorter average periods
of uneaplo,-ent than workers in cities of the other three geographic regions. Workers in centra'i cities, with a few exceptions,wereaaong those with the longest median duration of uneaplo,-ent; worters in eastern and western cities fell more
largely in the intet"lllediate groups. It appears~ however, that
the industrial character of a city is more responsible for these
differences than its geographic location. Thus, the central
cities with long average duration of unemployment are cities
in which aetal ■anufacturing d011inates the economic life and
these industries are, in turn, the ones with the longest duration

In 55 cities the difference was !5 months or over and in 21 cities it was 10 months or over.
Women were more heavily concentrated in the group oneaployed

a proportion of the women as of the men fell in this group of
short-time unemployed (Appendix Tables 20 and 21). In 57 cities one-fourth or more of the ■ en had been uneaployed under 1

At the other end of the scale of length of unemployment are
those workers reporting unemployment of 10 years or over. Women were also 1110re beaYily represented in this group than 111en.
In 67 cities less than , percent of the men reported periods
of nnemplo7111ent of 10 years or over; in 11 cities fr0111 5 to 9
percent had been unemployed that length of time; and in only
1 city, 10 percent or over fell i.n this group. In most of the
79 cities , percent or 110re of the women had been unemployed
10 years or o•er; and in 5 cities from 15 to 19 percent fell in
this group (Table 19).
These sex differences in the proportion of workers falling
either in the group unemployed under 1 year or in the group unemployed 10 years and over were due to two very different factors; the first was a reflection of occupational differences
in the not'lllal employ11ent of women and the second was the result
of the re-entrance of married women into the labor market. To
some extent the group reporting unemployment under 1 year was
made up of those workers who have intermittent employment but
reappear on relief rolls soon after such employment ceases, because of their inability to accumulate sufficient reserves to
be self-supporting during periods of unemployment.

The Pre-depression Un"ployed
Those unemployed 10 years or over are not the only workers
who may be called the pre-depression unemployed. Workers unemployed 5 years or oYer, or preYious to Hay 1929, also belong
in this group. The magnitude of the group of pre-depression
unemplo7ed in each of the 79 cities may be seen in Appendix
Tables 20 and 21. The proportion ranged from 28 percent of the
aen ill Ansonia, Conn., to 6 percent in Paterson, N. J.; and
froa 39 percent of the women in Shelton, Conn., to , percent
in Gastonia, N. C.
These workers who bad had no jobs at their usual occupation
for , 7ears or o•er t1ay be said to constitute a special type of
&dllinistrative problea in the field of public assistance. To a
large extent, even under favorable employment conditions, they
are probably not likely to be re-employed in private industry.

Race Differences In Duration of Un•ployaient

for exaple, in Detroit, Hieb., ProYidence, R. I., and Rockford,
Ill. OYer half of all Nerro ■en in the su"ey liYed in these
33 cities, onlJ 7 of which were southen. In 17 cities, 10 of
which were southern, Negro men bad been unemplo1ed a shorter

where only 1~ percent of all Nerro woaen in the surve1 resided,
Negro wo■en had been unemployed longer, on the aYerqe, thaa

Lexinjlton, ly., the ■ edian duration of uneaployaent for botb
white and Negro wo■ en was the s•e.
In analyzing race differences in the duration of une■plo111ent of workers on relief three factors should be considered:
I 11 the different occupational. characteristics of white and
Negro wrkers; 12) the possibility of race discriaination when
workers are being discbaried or being re-hired; (3) differences
in local administrative policies in accepting white and Negro
f•ilies for relief. The first factor affects duration in the
direction of a shorter average for Nerroes, particularl1 when
theJ are concentrated in occupations characterized bJ high labor turnoYer and short duration of uneaplo711ent; the second ia
the direct ion of a longer •era,e for Neiroes. For the urbaa
relief sample as a whole, the first factor is bJ far the ■ost
important, 17 although in certain cities the second appears to
be import ant.

reported their usual occupations in manufacturing bad been une11ployed for shorter periods, on t be average, t ban women in any
other occupational group except d0111estic and personal service.
The median duration of unemployment for women whose usual employment had been in aanufacturing and mechanical occupations
ranged froa 51.3 ■onths in Schenectady, N. Y., to 1.9 mon\bs in
Biloxi, Miss.
Among workers from dcnest ic and personal service the average length of unemployment of men was higher inmost cities than
for women.
Manufacturing and mechanical occupations and domestic and
personal service were the only twooccupat ional groups for which
comparisons between the sexes ma.1 be made, since in most cities
the number of unemployed wonen workers from the other occupational groups was too sma.11 to permit analysis. As for men,
it ma1 be noted that in most cities the median duration of unemployment was lower for occupations in trade than for those in
the aanufacturing and aecbanical group; but the median for men
fr011 clerical occupations was higher than for those from trade,
as a rule, and also frequentlf higher than for those from the
111anufacturing and mechanical occupations. Further details for
occupational group differences in the 79 cities may be seen in
Appendix Tables 20 and 21 •
. In conclusion, a few general observations may be made concerning the duration of unemployment of workers on relief as
reflected in city comparisons for Ma1 193ij. In most cities the
average du rat ion of unemployment was comparatively long. The
metal manufacturing cities bad the highest medians and a few
textile manufacturing cities and one fishing industry center
bad the lowest. Women in most cities had been unemployed, on
the average, tor shorter periods than men. Women were, however,
110re heavily represented than men at the extremes of duration
of une11plo,.ent, both in the group of unemployed 10 years or
over and in the group unemployed for less than l year. In more
than hall of the cities in which comparisons may be made for
race differences, Negro men had been unemployed longer than
wbite aen; but Negro women showed the opposite characteristic.

The followin, definitions include only those items of the
schedule which haYe been used in this report. 1 Each definition
is limited to the essent_ial 11eaning of the ter111 and does not
atteapt to cOYer all details in the instructions to enumerators
for filling the schedules. Other terms used in the report but
not specificallJ related to the s~hedule are defined on pages

Jfe. Was recorded in years for la.st birthday preceding the
first daJ of the month studied. Thus, a person who became 16
years of qe on or after May 1 was returned as 1!5 in the surYey (ColullJl 3).

Jlternate Occupation.

See Occupat ton.

Color or Race.

Was reported in three groups: white, Negro,
and other races. A person known to have any Negro blood was
returned as Negro; a person of mixed Indian and Negro blood was
returned as Negro unless Indian blood predominated and the status of Indian wa.s generally accepted in the co111111unity, Everyone who was not definitely white or Negro wa.s reported as other.
Mexicans were classified as other unless they were unquestionably white (Column?,).

was apparent to the inte"iewer or which "the person inte"iewed
reported on being questioned and which might be a handicap to
a worker", was entered for all person~ 16 years of age and over,
whether working or seeking work or not seeking work. If a person had 110re than one disabilitY, only the principal one was
entered (Colu11111 26).

may have been a work relief job or any job provided as an emergency unemployment measure. The length of the period was measured by counting back fro, Hay by calendar months, May being
the first month of unemployment.
Earnings of employed workers included all cash or
non-cash income received during the calendar week of last relief within the month studied. If persons were employed at own
account, their earnings were classified as not ascertainable.
Earnings in form of room and/or board were estimated by local
supervisors and were uniform within each locality. Strikers
were reported as employed but with no earnings and no hours
worked (Column 14).
larntnes.

Was reported for all persons 16 years of age and
over in total numbers of years completed in school. A person
in the second year of college would have been returned as having 13 years of schooling: eight years gr8.llllllar school, four
years high school, and one year college (Col1ll11Ds 9-10).

lducat ton.

Was recorded as of the week of the last relief order in May 1934 for all persons 16 years of age or over.
For those not working or seeking work,the reason for not doing
so was entered. All other persons 16 years of age or over were
considered workers. Both experienced and inexperienced persons
were included in the general classification of wrkers (Columns 11-2!5). An une14ployed worker was any person 16 years of
age or over who was not engaged in private employment, but who
was seeking work. A person on work relief was considered unemployed (Columns 16-18). An e•ployed lr>Orker was any worker who
held a job in private employment during the last week in which
relief was given in May 1934. Persons receiving only room
and/or board, apprentices receivinf no wages,workers on strike,
and persons working "on own account" were considered employed
(Columns 11-13).

lndustru. Was reported as that industry in which the worker
was engaged for the longest time at his usual occupation. If
a person had never worked except at work relief the industry in

as •Forestry.•
Lontest f'tu wtth One l•ployer. Included the maximum number of

temporary lay-offs or changes in occupation while with one employer were not regarded as interruptions of continuous employment (Colu11111 23).
larttal Status. Was reported in fiYe groups: single,married,
widowed, separated, and diYorced.
Alternate occupation was defined a.sany other than
the usual occupation of a worker in which he had school training or in which he had experience, or both. Experience obtained
at work relief was included here if the person considered this
as his alternate occupation (Colu11J1 21'). Usual or prtnctpal
occupation was entered for all persons 16 years of age and oYer
and was defined as that occupation which a person considered
to be his usual occupation or that at which he worked longest,
or at which he worked last. Occupation meant any job for which
a person receiYed money or money equiYalent, or assisted in the
production of marketable goods, including illegal pursuits and
excluding unpaid housework. If a person had worked at all at
any occupation, an occupation was entered. It a person had
never worked except at work relief or any other type of emergency employment, the occupation in which he had been engaged
on a project was his usual occupation (Column 19).

DEFINITIONS AND CLASSIFICATIONS USBD IN TBB CENSUS
AND RBLIBF DATA
Comparisons are frequently •de in this report between Census data and data collected by the Urban Relief SurYey. Limitations are inherent in all of these coaparisons. In the first
place, •arious factors have affected the coaposition of the
general population so that age and occupation characteristics,
for example, as ther existed in 1930 no longer obtained in 193ti.
Furthermore, in s0111e instances the Bureau of the Census has not
published figures for the urban United States as distinct from
the general population. In spite of the existence of urbanrural differentials which are concealed in the figures for the
general population, a few c~risons between the urban relief
population and the general population have been ade in the belief that even inadequate coaparisons are better than none at
all. Most of the coaparisons, howe•er, are for urban areas.

Differences in definition also complicate the problem of comp&rison between the Urb11.n Relief Suney &nd Census d&tll, The
Most import11.nt of the Census-Relief Survey comparisons &nd the
differences in the two sets of d&ta &re the following:
The definition of race of he&d of household was identical
in the Census of Population and the Urban Relief Survey. "Other
races• were combined with Negroes in both sets of data for this
report (d&tl\ on r&ce are &Yailable for the urban popul&tion
in 19301.
The definition of household. in the Relief Survey w11.s s11111lar to the definition of faatl11 in the Census of Population.
In the tables for size of family, however, tbe Census uses a
stricter definition, excluding the unrehted persons who 11.re
included in the household by the Relief Survey. Although 11.
non-(Olltlll person is defined slightly differently in the two
sets of data, the comparisons &re probably Y11.lid for the general purposes for which they &re ma.de ld&ta on size of family a.re av&il&ble for the urb&n population).

Karttal Status wa.s simil&rly recorded in the Census of Population 11.nd in the Relief Survey except for those persons who
were sep&r11.ted. They 11.re included with m&rried persons in the
Census and consequently were so tre&ted for compa.r11.tive purposes in this stndy, &!though they hlld originally been recorded
as a specific group (d&U on 11111.ritd sutus are &vaill\ble for

llorllers in the Relief Survey were defined &S persons 16-64
7e&rs of age working or seeking work, including those who h&d
n~er worked.
This definition differs from th11.t of iatnful
writers in the Census of Population in th&t the latter includes
persons 10 ye&rs of 11.ge &nd over who have worked reguhrly,

occupation and industry of the last usual or principal occupation. In cases of doubt, the Urban Relief Su"ey recorded what
the worker considered his customarr occupation. Both the Census
and the Relief Survey excludes inexperienced persons seeking
work from all occupation and industry data.
Codtnt and classtftcatton of occupat ton and tndustr11 returns
in the Relief Suney followed the practices of the Census of
Population of 1930, Workers whose occupation was unknown were
classified, according to Census procedure, with semiskilled
operatives in "not specified industries." The most detailed
occupat tonal classtftcat ton used in this report is the 213 item
stub which is presented in the Census for all cities of 25,000
to 100,000 population.

The 213 occupational stub was used for all data on unemployed
workers in Chapter II of Part I of this report; in most tables
the complete stub is presented but occasionally it is reduced
by 0111ittini occupations ill which fewer than !50 workers reported their length of experience, duration of unemployment,or
other informat ioo. In certain tables in Part I, only the 10
occupational groups are presented.
Various tables in this report use six socio-economic classes,•
namely: professional, proprietary, clerical, stilled, semiskilled, and unskilled workers. In certain tables the professional, proprietar~ and clerical workers are combined into one
group, called "white collar" workers. In other tables, present
occupations of employed workers are shown in some detail under
the main socio-economic groups .. Minor adaptations of the original socio-economic classification have been Ill.de here.
Industry tables show the stnb of !53 industries used by the
Census in its su111111&ry for the urban United States. In certain
tables only the main industrial groups are presented.
Comparisons are made at various times in this report between
data in the Relief Survey and the Cenaus Saapl tn, area.
In
each instance the Census sampling area is deri•ed by applring
the sampling ratio used in this survey in each city to the
Census data for industry or occupation in that city; the st111
of these adjusted city figures constitute the Census sa111pling
area for industry or occupation as the case aa, be.

DEFINITIONS AND OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS

67

In the comparison of Relief Survey data and Census data on
socio-economic clllss of workers in each industry, the Census
data were derived by combining occuplltions sholit'n in Table 2,
Chapter 7, Volume V, lit'hich gives the detailed occupational
breakdown within each industry. (This table is for the general
population rather than for the urban population.)
In the city tables ill Part II, the stub of 213 items has
been condensed to 118 items for brevity. The original tabullltion, however, was by the 213 stub. Occupations in which no
workers were reported in a given city are omitted for that city.
(Comparable Census data are available for cities of 2~,000 and
over.)
