INTRODUCTION

To fulfill these requirements, it was necessary to ascertain the occupation al characteristics of the relief labor supply.
Some information about the usual occupa,tions of the workers on relief had already
been obtained through sample studies 4 in
connection with the administration of the
work relief program of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration.
However,
the magnitude of the new Works Progr;im,
and the established policy of adapting
Works Program projects so far as possible
to the usual occupations of unemployed
workers on the relief rolls, made it necessary to obtain occupational statistics
on a State and county basis.

In the winter of 1934-1935 the public
unemployment relief rolls reached a peak
of nearly 5~ million cases, including
over 20~ million persons. 1 The census on
which the statistics presented in this
volume are based was taken in March 1935,
a month well on the crest of this peak.
This census included 4, 158,4772 households
containing 1 or more workers 3 who received
relief under the gener;il relief progrrtm
jointly undertaken by the States and the
Federal Emergency Relief Administration.
The workers 16 through 64 years of age in
those cases total 6,152,639, approximately
one-eighth of the number of gainful work, ers of the same age class reported by the
Fifteenth Census of the United States in
April 1930.
These statistics were collected as an
aid to the administration of the Emergency
Relief Appropriation Act of 1935. It was
the purpose of this act to "provide relief, work relief, and to increase employment by providing for useful projects."

AREA INCLUDED
The statistics in this volume relate
to the continental United States. Data
are presented for the United States and
for each State.

poln ts to Increases 1n employment trom March

Th is included workers in the specified
age group in all resident households, consisting of families, single persons, or
local homeless persons who received aid
through direct relief or through the Federal Emergency Relief Admini st rat ion work
program.
It should be noted that workers of
households which participated only in the
following special programs are excluded
from this tabulation:
(1) Transient; (2)
Emergency Education; (3) College Student
Aid; (4) Rural Rehabilitation; (5) Drought
Relief; and (6) Surplus Commodities.
PERIOD

This census included workers of relief
households which received aid during the
calendar month of March 1935. In a few
areas, because of administrative exigencies, the census covered a period other
tha.n March 1935. The exceptions and the
periods covered are: New York, May 1935;
New Jersey, April 1935; Illinois, February
1935; Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania,
May 1935; Los Angeles County, California,
May 1935. The statistics for these uni ts,
v.-i th the except ion of Illinois and New
York City, have been adjusted to March 1935
by applying to the data reported the ratio
of their total relief loads in March 1935
to their total relief loads during the
month in which the census was actually
taken. The data for the State of Illinois
and for New York City have not been adjusted because in each instance the relief load for the month of the census
differed by less than 1 percent from that
of March. All of these adjustments are
relatively minor because of the proximity
of the actual census dates for those areas
to March 1935.

infonnation contained in the Occupational
Classification Record (FERA Form 144),a
family record card designed for Works
Program placement purposes. A file of
Occupational Classification Records, containing cards for all relief households
with workers,wasprepared by each county
office ( or branch thereof) of the Emergency Relief Administration. To insure
the inclusion of the units desired, this
file was matched with an index of all
households which received relief during
the c.:ilendar month of March 1935. 5 The
personal history information on the Occupational Classification Record was obtained through personal interview by case
workers of the Soci.:il Service Di vision,
and the information relating to the occupation and industry of workers was collected through person.:il interview by personnel officers of the Work Division. In
some instances local admi nist rati ve requirements made it necessary to obtain
the personal and occupation al data from
the case records of the Social Service
Division or f ram the placement records of
the local Work Division. Interviews were
conducted in accordance with standard instructions-that is, all terms were uniformly defined in the manner indicated
be low. ( See Definition of Terms. ) All
perso ns who interviewed workers in order
to ascertain their usual occupations and
industries were instructed in the technique of procuring information .and in the
making of satisfactory entries.
The information desired for tabulation
was transcribed i'n each county office
from the Occupational Classification Record to a standardized transcript ion sheet.
The transcription sheets were forwarded
to centrally located tabulating offices
for editing, coding, and mechanical tabulation.

INTRODUCTION

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Worker-A

workeru, as used in this
volume, is any person, male or female,
16 through 64 years of age, inclusive,
who, at the time of this census, was a
member of a relief household and who was
working or seeking work, except an adult
male or female needed at home to care for
d~pendents under 16 years of age. Local
Social Service Divisions of the Emergency
Relief Administration were instructed to
interpret this definition on the basis of
the situ at ion in each family and to take
into consideration such factors as whether
the adult in question had been in the
habit of working while providing for the
care of children by a relative or outside
the home.
Usual Occupation-The occupational returns reported in this volume are based
on the worker's "usual occupation." Usual
occupation was defined as that occupation
at which the person worked longest during
the 10 years precedin~ this census. If
the person worked approximately the same
length of time at two or more occupations,
the one at which he worked last was entered.
An occupation was entered for
every person who had worked ally length of
time, however short, during the preceding
10 years. Occupations were entered also
for persons whose sole work experience
had been obtained on work relief projects
or some other emergency employment type
of work such as that provided by the Civil
Works Administration or the Civilian Conservation Corps.
The Occupational Classification Record
and the transcription sheet used in tabulation contained provision, also, for
the entry of the usual industry of the
worker. Usual industry was defined as
that industry in which the person worked
longest at his usual occupation. The industry return helped to identify and to
classify the occupation.

Inexpertenced Workers-Persons seeking
work who performed no gainful work of any
kind during the 10 years preceding this
census are reported as "inexperienced."
Housewives and housekeepers working in
their o\'in homes and girls performing household tasks in their own homes, but VY-110
were seeking work, are also classified
as "inexperienced" persons, unless they
worked outside their homes in the preceding 10-year period. In the latter case
their usual occupation, as defined above,
is reported. Young persons seeking their
first jobs and older persons who may have
returned to the labor market after a period of retirement, including the 10 years ·
preceding the census, are also returned
in the "inexperienced" category.
Economic Head of Relief F'amily-Data

for the United States are presented separately for all workers and for the economic heads of relief families.
The Social Service Division of the
Emergency Relief Administration was asked
to indicate which worker in the family
should be given preference in employment
on the Works Program. This decision as
to "priority ranking II for work was based
on the case worker's judgment of the qualifications and fitness for work of the
individual workers in the household, the
attitude of the household members as to
which one should be employed, and the occupational skill which should be developed
or preserved. The person so designated
to be given preference in employment is
regarded in this volume

as the economic

head of the relief family.
Relief F'amily-Tlie relief f~ily or
household is the unit for the admini st ration of public unemployment relief. It
may consist of a single person or a group
of persons, who may or may not be related.
A~e-The age classification in this
volume is based on the age of the worker
at his birthday nearest to March 1935.
In some are as age was recorded on the
basis of tl,e nearest birthday to the time

4

WORKERS ON RELIEF IN THE UNITED STATES

of filling the record card. Since these
records were filled in the period from
November 1934 to April 1935, there is some
lack of uniformity in the reporting of
age in this census.
Color-Statistics a re presented for
all workers, and for workers of the white
and Negro races, respectively. The statistics for all workers include data for
persons of races other than the white or
t he Negro and for persons of unknown color or race. Statistics for workers of
races other than white ?,nd Negro have not
been separately tabulated.
Urban

and Rural Place of Residence-

. The statistics for the United States are
presented by urban and rural place of resldence of the workers on relief. The definitions of urban and rural adopted were
those used by the United States Bureau of
the Census int he Census of 1930. "Urban"
places of residence include all cities
and incorporated places with a population
of 2,500 or more persons in 1930. "Rural"
places of residence include open country
areas, and town and unincorporated places
with a population of fewer than 2,500 persons in 1930. In the New England States,
and in some other States, towns ( townships} are classified as urbAn if they
have a population of 2,500 or more and
certain urban characteristics. The Bureau
of the Census practice was followed in
these instances.
AREAS SAMPLED

Because of administrative requirements
at the time of enumeration, the data reported for New York City, and for Cook
County, Illinois, including the city of
Chicago, are not based on a complete count
of the Occupational Classification Records. The data for New York City are
based on a 10-percent sample, selected
at random, of relief households with workers; the data for Cook County, Illinois,
including the city of Chicago, are based on


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

a 20-percent sample, similarly selected,
of relief households with workers. In
choosing the sample, an index was prepared
for all households which received relief
during the month studied. Households were
selected at random from this index in accordance with the sampling ratio. In New
York City every tenth household in the
index was chosen, and in Cook County,
Illinois, including the city of Chicago,
every fifth household. The data thus obtained were multiplied by the sampling
ratio in each case, before they were included in the tables for the respective
States .
OCCUPATIONAL CLASSIFICATION

The Occupational Classification used
in the material reported here differs from
the classification in the General Report
on Occupations of the Fifteenth Census
of the United States. A table indicating
the relationship between the two classifications is available in the Labor Inventory Section of the Division of Social
Research of the Works Progress Admi n ist ration. The basic code used in classifying the occupations reported in this
volume was prepared by Dr. Gladys L. Palmer
and was published by the Works Progress
Administration in Circular No. 2, Occupational Classification and Code, July 1935.
A detailed list of occupational designations, classified in accordance with this
code, is available in Circular No. 2A, Index of Occupations (Alphabetical Arrangement), published by the Works Progress
Administration, September 1935.
The Occupational Class if icat ion was.
d~signed to secure uniformity throughout
the country in the classification of workers eligible to be employed on projects
under the Emergency Relief Appropriation
Act of 1935. It is, therefore, a special
purpose classification.
Greater detail
is offered for the identification of occupations in the building and construction

INTRODUCTION
industries and other types of work which
are important for placement purposes in
the Works Program. Less detail is available for .manufacturing and other industries, although many of the standardized
mechanical occupations are specifically
identified. The items in this Occupational Classification are not intended to
off er a complete list of specific occupations. With certain exceptions, as in
the building and construction industries,
they are categories for groups of closely
allied occupations.
LIMITATIONS OF COMPARISONS

A statement is p r esented in the appendix indicating the limitations of comparisons of the occupational statistics for
workers on relief in March 1935 with the
st at ist ics for gainful workers in 1930
as reported in the Fifteenth Census of
the United States.
FURTHER STATISTICS AVAILABLE

In addition to the statistics presented
in this preliminary volume, the following


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org

data based on the census of workers on
relief in March 1935 are also available
in the Division of Social Research of the
Works Progress Administration: (1) detailed statistics for each State of the
_type presented for the United States in
this volume; (2) similar statistics in
less detail for all cities in the United
States with a population of 100,000 or
more persons in 1930; (3) similar statistics in condensed form for each county
in the Uni. ted St._a tes.
In order to provide more current data
on the occupational characteristics of
workers on relief anot ner census was
taken on January 15, 1936, which enumerated the usual occupations of workers and
economic heads of families eligible for
Works Program employment -on that date.
Preliminary summary data, based on this
later census, are now being prepared for
publication. A statement will be presented in this later volume indicating
the limitations of comparisons of the
data for January 15, 1936,with those for
March 1935.

Fo r qualifications of these statistic s, see statement below .

Qua lifications of Summary Statistics for the United States

The statistics for the United States are
based on a complete census of workers and economic heads of families on relief in all States and
the District of Columbia, except that data for
New York City and for Cook County, Illinois (including Chicago) are based on a 10 per cent and
a 20 per cent random sample, respectively, of relief households with workers.
In compiling the summary statistics for the
United States, the data for New York State (excluding New York City); Los Angeles County, ~alifornia; and Philadelphia County, ·Pennsylvania,
have been adjusted from May 1935 to March 1935 on
the basis of the relief case loads ( including
cases without workers) for the two dates. Data
for New Jersey have been adjusted from April 1935


https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis

to March 1935 on the same basis. Data for Illinois are for February 1935 and the data for New
York City are for May 1935.
The statistics for
these two areas have not been adjusted because
in each instance the relief case load for the
month of the census differed from the relief case
load for March 1935 by l e ss than one per cent.
Data for Missouri include estimates of workers who, because of the transitional character of
the Emergency Relief Administration's files in
St. Louis, were not included in the original field
report for that city. Data for Delaware are for
New Castle County only, the only one of the three
counties in the State which pa rticipated in the
general relief program of the Federal Relief Administration in March 1935.
