WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR IN THE LUMBER INDUSTRY
IN THE UNITED STATES, 1932
SAWMILLS
Wage earners in representative sawmills in the United States earned
an average of 25.6 cents per hour in 1932 or 10.3 cents (28.7 percent)
per hour less than in 1930. They actually worked an average of
40.1 hours in 1 week in 1932 or 8.5 hours less than in 1930, and earned
an average of $10.25 in a representative week in 1932 or $7.21 less
than in 1930. Their full-time hours per week averaged 55.8 in 1932
and 56.5 in 1930, and their full-time earnings per week averaged
$14.28 in 1932 and $20.28 in 1930. They worked 71.9 percent of full
time in the representative week in 1932 and 86 percent of full time in
1930, thus showing 28.1 percent of short time in 1932, as compared
with 14 percent in 1930. These and other wage figures in this bulle
tin for sawmills are for males only (no females were reported as em
ployed in the industry except in logging camps) and are the results
of studies by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States Depart
ment of Labor, of wages and hours of labor of wage earners in each
of the years from 1910 to 1913; in 1915; in each of the odd-numbered
years from 1919 to 1925; and in 1928, 1930, and 1932. The bulletin
also presents 1932 wage figures for 3,744 wage earners (3,721 males
and 23 females) in 43 logging camps in 10 States (pp. 52 to 67).
The wage figures for 1930 are for 50,951 wage earners of 324 repre
sentative sawmills in 22 States and those for 1932 are for 32,130 wage
earners of 259 mills. The basic wage figures for these wage earners
were collected by agents of the Bureau from the pay rolls or other
records of the mills for a representative pay period (except for a few
mills) in May, June, July, or August 1930, and in May, June, or July
1932.
Average Hours and Earnings, 1910 to 1932
Table 1 shows average full-time hours per week, earnings per hour,
and full-time earnings per week for the industry (sawmills); for each
of the 25 more important occupations in the industry, and for the
group at the end of the table designated as “ Other employees” ,
which includes all occupations in the industry other than those re
ferred to as important occupations, no occupation in the group being

considered of enough importance to warrant showing averages for it.
Index numbers of the averages are given in the table for the industry
and for each occupation, with the 1913 average as the base or 100.
The industry averages for the specified years from 1910 to 1921 are
for the wage earners in selected occupations only and are comparable
one year with another. Those for the years 1921 to 1932 are for
the wage earners in all occupations, including those in the group of
“ Other employees” , and are also comparable one year with another,
but should not be compared with the averages for selected occupations.
Two sets of averages are shown for 1921, one for 33,115 wage earners
in the selected occupations in 279 sawmills and the other for 45,667
wage earners in all occupations in the same 279 sawmills, including
12,552 in the group of “ Other employees.”
The index numbers for the industry are for the purpose of having
comparable figures, one year with another, over the entire period from
1910 to 1932. The index for each specified year from 1910 to 1921 is
the percent that the average for the year is of the average for 1913.
The index for each specified year from 1921 to 1932 was computed
by increasing or decreasing the 1921 index for the wage earners in
the selected occupations in proportion to the increase or decrease in
the average for the year, as compared with 1921 averages for all
occupations.
The index numbers of average full-time hours per week for the
industry range, by years, from 90 in 1932, or 10 percent less than in
1913, the basic year, to 100.7 in 1912; those for average earnings per
hour range from 91.4 in 1915, or 8.6 percent less than in 1913, to
194.6 in 1919, or 94.6 percent more than in 1913; and those for aver
age full-time earnings per week ranged, by years from 91.5 in 1915, or
8.5 percent less than in 1913, to 178.8 in 1919, or 78.8 percent more
than in 1913. The index numbers of average full-time earnings per
week did not increase or decrease in the same proportion as average
earnings per hour because of the change from year to year in average
full-time hours per week. The average full-time earnings per week
for any year were computed by multiplying the average full-time
hours per week for the year by the average earnings per hour for that
year.
Average full-time hours per week in 1932 for the various occupations
ranged from 53.1 for power truckers to 58.5 for head sawyers, cir
cular. Average earnings per hour ranged from 15.4 cents for yardmen,
log, to 65.2 cents for head sawyers, band. In 1930 yardmen, log,
earned an average of 24.2 cents per hour and head sawyers, band,
an average of 88.6 cents per hour. Average full-time earnings per
week in 1932 ranged from $8.96 for yardmen, log, to $36.25 for head
sawyers, band.

WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
Average Days, Hours, and Earnings, 1930 and 1932, by
States
Table 2 shows average days, hours, and earnings, and the percent of
full time worked in a representative week in 1930 and 1932 for the
wage earners covered in each State and in all States combined. The
purpose of this table is to facilitate the comparison of the 1932 aver
ages for any State with those for 1930 and also the averages for any
one State in either year with the averages for any other State or for
all States.
Except in one State, average hours actually worked in 1 week were
less in 1932 than in 1930, and average earnings per hour and actual
earnings in 1 week for each State were less in 1932 than in 1930.

Classified Earnings per Hour, 1910 to 1932
Table 3 shows average earnings per hour and a percentage distri
bution, by average earnings per hour, of the wage earners found in
each of eight representative occupations in the industry for each of
the years from 1910 to 1932 for which such data are available. These
occupations were selected to illustrate the variations in the trend and
spread of average earnings per hour of wage earners in all occupations
in the industry in each specified year, and the 1932 figures cover
14,688 wage earners, or 46 percent of the 32,130 included in the study
in that year. For a like distribution, by number, of the wage earners
in each of these occupations in each State for 1932, see table B, page
34.
In 1910 the 429 head sawyers, band, the first occupation in the
table, earned an average of 54.3 cents per hour; 28 percent of them
earned less than 50 cents per hour, and 38 percent earned an average
of 60 cents or more per hour. The 249 covered in 1919 earned an
average of 76.8 cents per hour and only 2 percent earned less than 50
cents per hour and 90 percent earned over 60 cents per hour. The
597 covered in 1930 earned an average of 88.6 cents per hour and 1
percent earned less than 50 cents per hour and all except 3 percent
earned an average of 60 cents or more per hour. The 414 covered
in 1932 earned an average of 65.2 cents per hour, or 23.4 cents less
than in 1930, and 13 percent earned less than 50 cents per hour and
70 percent earned an average of 60 cents or more per hour.

Full-Time Hours per Week and per Day, 1910 to 1932
The regular or customary full-time hours per day and per week of
an establishment are the regular hours of operation when it is working
its fixed standard of full time as established by its regular time of
beginning and of quitting work on each day of the week, less the
regular time off duty for lunch or dinner, with no overtime and no loss
of time for any cause.
Table 5 shows average full-time hours per week and the percent
of the wage earners in each of eight representative occupations in the
industry at each classified group of full-time hours per week for each
of the years from 1910 to 1932 for which figures are available. For a
like distribution by number of the wage earners in each of these
occupations in each State in 1932 see table C, page 39.
As shown in the table, the full-time hours of more than 70 percent
of the wage earners covered in each of the occupations in 1910, 1911,
11
SAWMILLS, 1932
1912, 1913, and 1915 were 60 per week and the full-time hours of less
than 5 percent were under 60 per week. The full-time hours of more
than 20 percent of those covered in each occupation in each year since
1915 were less than 60 per week, and those of a considerable percentage
were 48 and under per week. In 1932 the full-time hours per week of
31 percent of the head sawyers, band, were 48 and under; of 5 percent
were 54; of 9 percent were over 54 and under 60; of 52 percent were
60 and of 2 percent were over 60.

Table 6 shows the number of sawmills in each State at each specified
number of full-time hours per week and per day, Monday to Friday
and Saturday, for the 259 mills included in the study in 1932. No
night work was reported for any of the mills.
Hours per week ranged, by mills, from 44 for 2 mills to 72 for 1
mill. Hours per day, Monday to Friday, ranged, by mills, from 8 to
12 and on Saturday ranged from 4 to 12.
The 5-day week with no work on Saturday was in effect in 2 mills
only. Full-time hours per week were frequently the same for a
considerable number of mills with some variation in hours per day;
for example, the hours of 170 mills were 60 per week— 160 of them at
10 hours per day for 6 days; 4 at 10% hours for 5 days and 8% Satur
day; 1 at 10% hours for 5 days and 8% Saturday; 1 at 10K hours for

Changes in Wage Rates Since June 1, 1930
Between June 1, 1930, and the period of the 1932 study, 252 of the
259 sawmills included in this report made reductions in the wage
rates of their wage earners. Rates were not increased during the
period by any of the 259 mills. The reductions affected the rates of
all wage earners in 244 mills and a stated part of the wage earners in
8 mills. Rates in 46 mills were reduced 1 time; in 79, 2 times; in 66,
3 times; in 23, 4 times; in 10, 5 times; in 5, 6 times; in 1, 7 times; and
in 22 were reduced more than once but the number of reductions were
not reported for any of them.
In the mills in which rates were reduced 1 time only between June
1, 1930, and the period of the 1932 study the reductions ranged, by
mills, from 10 percent to 50 percent; in those in which there were 2
reductions, they ranged from 8 and 10 percent to 45 and 22}i percent;
in those in which there were 3, they ranged from 5, 3K and 3K percent
to 25, 10, and 10 percent; in those in which there were 4, they ranged
from 5, 5, 10, and 25 percent to 25, 25, 16% and 20 percent; in those
in which there were 5, they ranged from 5, 10, 9, 10, and 10 percent
to 10 to 20 percent 5 times; in those in which there were 6, they
ranged from 10 percent 6 times to 15, 16%, 20, 10, 10, and 10 percent;
and in the mill in which there were 7, they were 10 percent 6 times and
25 percent, making an aggregate reduction of 60.14 percent in this
mill during the period. In the 22 mills where rates were reduced
more than once but the number of reductions and the percent of each
15
SAWMILLS, 1932
were not reported the aggregate was 65 percent in 1 mill; 60 percent
in 2; 51 percent in 1; 50 percent in 6; 45 percent in 3; 44 percent in 1;
40 percent in 3; 3.5 percent in 1; 33K percent in 1; 32% percent in 1;
25 percent in 1; and 12}{ cents per hour in 1.
The number of reductions and the year or years in which made
were not reported for 22 mills. A total of 100 reductions were made
in 1930; of 298 were made in 1931; and of 183 were made in 1932 by
the 230 mills that reported year in which each reduction was made.
Overtime and Sunday and Holiday Work, 1932
Any; time worked in excess of the regular full-time hours per day or
night is overtime, regardless of the rate of pay for such time. Work
on Sundays or holidays is extra time only when performed by em
ployees whose regular hours per day and week do not provide for
work on those days.
Overtime was reported as having been worked by part of the wage
earners in 193 of the 259 mills during the representative pay period
in 1932 for which hours and earnings are shown in this report, and
extra work on Sunday and holidays was also reported for 148 mills.
The overtime and extra work was paid for at the same rate as regular
working time in 147 mills and in 1 mill at 1% times the regular rate.
Bonus Systems
A bonus is compensation in addition to earnings at basic rates of
pay.
Bonus systems were reported in operation in only 8 of the 259 saw
mills included in the 1932 study. The basis of the bonus was attend
ance in 1 mill, production in 4 mills, service in 1 mill, and time saving
in 2 mills.
Table 8 shows the number of mills in which bonus systems were in
operation, the basis or kind of bonus, the wage earners eligible for the
bonus, the amount of the bonus, and the performance necessary on
the part of wage earners to earn the bonus.

Index Numbers of Employment and of Pay Rolls, 1923
to 1932
Index numbers of employment and of pay rolls in the lumber
industry in the United States are presented in table 9 for each month,
January 1923 to December 1932, and for each of the years over this
period. These numbers were computed from the volume of em
ployment and the amount of pay rolls for each of the months and
years, with the 1926 average taken as the base or 100. These figures
are published by the Bureau in monthly reports on the trend of
employment.
During the years 1923 to 1932 monthly employment was highest
(with an index of 120) in July 1923 and lowest (with an index of
33.4) in December 1932. Pay rolls were highest (with an index of
114.1) in June 1923 and lowest (with an index of 15.8) in December
1932. Indexes of employment decreased from year to year from 115.1
in 1923 to 35.5 in 1932 and of pay rolls from 106.5 in 1923 to 18.9 in
1932.

Lumber Produced in the United States in 1929
Table 10 shows for each of 21 States, for the group of “ All other
States” , and for the United States, the number of sawmills in opera
tion, and the production in thousands of board feet of the various
kinds of hardwood and softwood lumber in 1929. The figures were
obtained from the United States Census of Manufactures.
The 20,178 sawmills in active operation in the United States in 1929
produced 36,886,032 thousand board feet of lumber; 29,813,345
thousand feet were softwood and 7,072,687 thousand feet were hard
wood. The production of yellow pine was 11,629,689 thousand feet,
or nearly one third of the total, and of Douglas fir was 8,688,700
thousand feet, or nearly one fourth of the total. The 656 mills in
Washington, which was the State of largest production, sawed 7,302,063 thousand feet, or about one fifth of the total produced in the
United States.

Importance of the Lumber Industry
Table 12 shows the importance of the lumber industry in the United
States and in each State, according to the figures from the United
States Census of Manufactures, in number of sawmills, average num
ber of wage earners, total amount paid in wages, total value of product,
and total value added by manufacture. The figures for the United
States are for each of the specified years from 1899 to 1929; those for
each State are for 1929 only.
The figures in the table for any of the years from 1899 to 1919,
inclusive, included mills each with an annual product valued at $500
or more, while those for the years since 1919 are limited to mills each
with an annual product valued at $5,000 or more. The increase of
the minimum value from $500 in earlier years to $5,000 in later years
accounts for the large decrease in the number of mills reported in 1921
and subsequent years.
Average per capita of wages, value of product, value added by
manufacture, and percent wages are of value added by manufacture
have been computed and are shown in the last four columns of the
table.
Average annual earnings per wage earner ranged, by years, from a
low of $358 in 1899 to a high of $1,018 in 1919. Averages ranged by
States in 1929 from $577 to $1,488. Wages formed 49 percent of
the value added by manufacture in 1929 and ranged, by years, from
46 percent in 1904 to 60 percent in 1921, and in 1929 ranged, by
States, from 42 to 60 percent.

i Data for each year from 1899 to 1919 include mills each with annual products valued at $500 or more
and for each year since 1919 include mills each with annual products valued at $5,000 or more.
Scope and Method
This bulletin presents 1932 wage figures for 32,130 wage earners
of 259 representative sawmills in 21 States, and also for 3,744 wage
earners of 43 logging camps in 10 of these States (pp. 52 to 67).
Approximately 93 percent of the lumber output in the United
States is produced in these States.
Data for each of the mills having a pay period of more than 1
week were converted to a 1-week basis. Average days worked in 1
week were computed by dividing the total number of days on which
all wage earners in an occupation worked in 1 week by the total
177408°—33----- 4
22
WAGES AND HOURS OF LABOR
number of wage earners in the occupation in the week. In computing
the average, each day or part of a day on which a wage earner did
any work was counted as a day.
Average full-time hours per week of all wage earners in each occu
pation were computed by dividing the combined full-time hours per
week by the number of wage earners in the occupation in 1 week.
The full-time hours per week of each wage earner were used in arriving
at this average, even though some wage earners in the week covered
in the report worked more or less than full time on account of over
time, sickness, disability, or other cause.
Average hours actually worked in 1 week were computed by dividing
the aggregate hours actually worked in 1 week by all wage earners
in an occupation by the number of wage earners in the occupation in
the week.
Average earnings per hour of wage earners in each occupation as
presented in the various tables in this bulletin were computed by
dividing the combined earnings of all wage earners in the occupation
in 1 week by the combined hours worked by them in the week.
Average full-time earnings per week of wage earners in each occupa
tion were computed by multiplymg the average earnings per hour
of all wage earners in the occupation by their average full-time hours
per week. This is on the assumption that the earnings for full
time would have been at the same average rate per hour as for the
time that was actually worked in 1 week.
Average actual earnings per week were computed by dividing the
aggregate earnings of the wage earners in 1 week of all wage earners
in an occupation by the number of wage earners in the occupation.
Table 13 shows the number of wage earners in sawmills in each
State, as estimated from the United States Census of Manufactures
in 1929, the number of sawmills from which the Bureau of Labor
Statistics obtained data in 1932, and the number of wage earners
included in the study in that year.

A distribution by number and percent of the males, the females,
and all the wage earners included in the study of logging camps in
1932 by rates of wages per hour are shown in table 2. The rates of
wages per hour of males ranged, by classified groups, from “ 4 and
under 5 cents” to “ $1.20 and under $1.30.” Each of 226, or 6 per
cent, of the 3,721 males covered in the 1932 study had a rate that
was within “ 50 and under 55 cents” j>er hour. Bates of wages per
hour of the 23 females found in logging camps were as follows: 8
with rates that fell within “ 25 and under 27K cents” , 10 within
“ 27% and under 30 cents” , 2 within “ 30 and under 32% cents” ,
1 within “ 37% and under 40 cents” , and 2 within “ 55 and under 60
cents” per hour.

General Table
In table F are given, by occupation and by State, full-time hours
per week, wage rates, and equivalent hourly wage rates.
Owing to the many differences in organization, nomenclature, and
conditions in the various logging camps, no attempt was made to
summarize the figures in table F.
The occupations are arranged alphabetically for each State. Dif
ferent occupation names, which may indicate the same or similar
work, may occur in the same State, but it has been thought best to
use the terms in use in the locality and in the establishment from
which the data were obtained. In some occupations, such as those
in the cookhouse, wage earners are given board in addition to their
wages, Where this occurs the value of the board, when reported,
was added to the wage and mentioned in a footnote. Where the
value of the board was not reported the following footnote, “ And
board ” , appears. All full-time hours per week are for days uiilesp
shown otherwise by footnote.
