Foreword

The Federal-State unemployment compensation program yields data which, together with the wage and employment data supplied by the program of old-age and survivors insurance, fill one of the major gaps in our knowledge of the labor market* The unemployment compensation program makes it possible to obtain at regular intervals from every firm of any significant size in the major industries, except railroads, a report of the number of workers in their employ and the amount of wages paid. Prior to the initiation of the program, the only regularly available data in this extremely important field were voluntary reports from a relatively small number of employers. With approximately 90 percent of the workers in industries subject to unemploy-ment compensation employed by the reporting establishments, the data obtained regularly on employment and wages repre-sent virtually a complete census for the industries covered.

The usefulness of these statistics will be further enhanced as all State employment security agencies submit reports on a more refined industrial classification basis beginning with the year 1942. The industrial classification of each firm is to be checked at least once every 3 years in order that the data may accurately reflect industrial, patterns.

This volume presents in detail the data collected for 1939. A previous monograph, issued as Employment Security Memorandum No. 6. contained similar data for 1938, the first year for which data became available in most States. Only a few States compiled comparable information for 1937.

We wish to acknowledge the cooperation of the research and statistics units of State employment security agencies in making the issuance of these data possible.

EMPLOYMENT AND WAGES, 1939

1 Changes, 1938-1939 Industries covered "by State unemployment compensation

laws probably participated to a greater extent than industry as a whole in the general economic improvement that character-ized the year 1939 • Covered employment in 1939 averaged 21,377,500, approximately 7 percent above 193g4/ Tbe Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates indicate an increase from 1932 of only h.b percent for employees in nonagricultural establish-ments. Wages 2/ earned in covered employment in 1939 aggre-gated $28,513 million, about 11 percent more than in I93S. The comparable gain in total nonagricultural wages and salaries in the Nation as a whole, however, was only 7*9 percent, according to recently revised estimates of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce.

Comparisons with the volume of covered employment and wages in the previous year indicate the persistence in 1939 the upward trend which began late in 1938. In March 1939, employment of covered workers totaled 20,75^000, percent above the level of March 193g. By June, the gain over the same month of the previous year was 9*2 percent and in September it reached 9#6 percent. Although covered employment declined in the last 2 months of the year, the December 1939 total of nearly 22 million was 9*1 percent above the last month of 193&*

Similar increases were reported for workers included under the Federal old-age and survivors insurance program which covers all employers, irrespective of size of establishment, in virtually the same industries and services as those included under State unemployment compensation programs. The average number of employees reported as earning taxable wages under this program on the last day or last pay roll of March, June, September, and December 1939 wa$ 8.8 percent above the average of similar figures for 1938. March 1939 the number of such

workers was 6.5 percent higher than in March 1938. By the end of June employment had increased "by 10 percent over the same month of the previous year and in September by 9*7 percent—an increase almost identical with that indicated by State unem-ployment compensation figures. Likewise, in spite of the slight decline that followed, employment of workers covered by the old-age and survivors insurance program was 8*9 percent higher in December 1939 than in the last month of 1938.

Wages of workers included under State unemployment com-pensation programs in the first quarter of 1939 exceeded earnings during the corresponding period of 1§38 by 6.8 percent. By the second quarter the relative increase was 10.9 percent, and by the third quarter percent. As in the case of employ-ment, there was a slight decline in relative position at the end of the year, but earnings in the last 3 months were 12.1 percent above those in the same period of 1938* Between the first and fourth quarters of 1939• rages earned in covered employment increased 19.O percent, as against a corresponding rise of only 13.3 percent in 1938.

Variations in the inclusiveness of the data for the 2 years prevent accurate analysis of industrial differences in covered employment from 1938 to 1939 for the country as a whole. Such comparisons as are feasible, 1/ however, indicate that aver-age monthly covered employment in construction in 1939 was 25 percent above 1938, in manufacturing about 10 percent, and in trade more than 7 percent. The increases in the corresponding period in wages earned in these industrial divisions were even more striking. Wages earned in construction rose more than 30 percent, in manufacturing 15 percent, and in trade 8 percent. 2 Character and Limitations of the Data

Comprehensive monthly data on employment and wages, by major industry group, were reported to the Social Security Board in 1939 "by the 51 State agencies administering the State unem-ployment compensation laws.2/ Only a few States compiled such statistics in 1937• and although all States submitted reports for 193 1 complete data by major industry group for all States

first "became available in 1939. figures for 1938 have already "been published,!/ and 1939 figures are presented in this volume. Pinal data for lyUO were not due from State employment security agencies until July 31t lSNu but preliminary estimates have "been prepared and published.

Employers subject to unemployment compensation laws are required to report to State employment security agencies the number of workers on their pay rolls during the last pay period of any type ending within the month. Thus, an employer who reimburses his employees on more than one basis reports a fig-ure which is the sum of the number of workers on a weekly pay basis who were employed during the last week of the month, plus the number paid on a semi-monthly basis who were employed during the last half of the month, plus the number employed on a monthly pay roll basis. Should the employer have other types of pay periods, such as 10-day or daily, the number of enployees during the last pay period of each type ending within the month is included*

Wages are reported on a quarterly basis. Except for New York, they represent the total amount of wages paid or payable to all covered workers during each calendar quarter, even though the entire amount may not be subject to taxation for unemployment compensation purposes. Under most State laws, the cash value of such perquisites as tips, bonuses, and meals are regarded as taxable wages and included in the employers1 reports. New York reported taxable wages only, thus excluding all but $3,000 of the wages of individual employees with annual earnings from any one employer in excess of $3,000. It is estimated that this limitation reduced the reported figure for total wages earned in covered employment for the 51 States by about 3 percent; it especially distorts the wage pattern for industries in which high salaries are frequent and in which New York predominates, parti-cularly finance, insurance, and real estate•

Because of the differences in the bases upon which they are reported, employment data are not strictly comparable with wage data. The wages of all workers employed at any time in the calendar quarter are included in the State reports, but their employment is excluded unless it occurred during the last

pay period of a month. Qjiotients obtained by dividing wages by employment, therefore, have little significance.1/

Unemployment compensation reports cover all persons whose wages are subject to taxation for unemployment compen-sation purposes and, therefore, include many officers, execu-tives, and other supervisory employees as well as wage earners.

Covered employment and wages are classified and reported on an establishment and not on an employer basis and so are pro-perly allocated to the State in which they originate. Data for many States, therefore, reflect the employment of workers who reside in neighboring States.

Various limitations which must be taken into consider-ation in any interpretation of the figures, attach to the use of employment and wage data for covered workers as measures of total employment and wages. Large groups of the working popu-lation are excluded from coverage by most State unemployment compensation laws. These exclusions, moreover, vary consider-ably among the States.2/ In general, unemployment compensation coverage is limited by two broad conditions—the nature of the business and the size of the firm.

"Nature of business" is negatively defined in most State laws in terms of the types of employment exempt from contri-bution requirements. Generally excluded in 1939 were:

1. Agricultural labor. 2. Domestic service in a private home; 3- Service performed as an officer or member of a crew

of a vessel on the navigable waters of the United States;

km Service performed by an individual in the employ of his son, daughter, or spouse, and service performed by a child under the age of twenty-one in the employ of his father or mother;

5. Service performed in the employ of the United States Government or of an instrumentality of the United States;

6. Service performed in the employ of a corporation, community chest, fund, or foundation, organized and

l/ The average annual wage earned in covered industries could be computed by dividing total wages earned by the number of workers with wage credits.

operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary, or educational purposes, or for the prevention of cruelty to children or ani-mals, no part of the net earnings of which inures to the benefit of any private shareholder or indi-vidual.

Deviations from this general pattern are frequent. New York, for example, covers domestic service in' a private home if the employer has four or more servants.

These are, however, not the only types of excluded employment. As a consequence of the joint conditions that govern liability for unemployment compensation contributions, there are large groups of employers engaged in subject indus-tries and services who are exempt because they do not employ a specified number of workers for a period of sufficient dur-ation, usually a portion of one day in each of twenty differ-ent weeks. Thus, some employers operating the year round in covered industries are exempt because they do not employ the minimum number specified in the State law. Others are exempt, even though they employ the minimum number of workers in employments subject to the State law, because they did not employ the required number of workers over the required period. In 19391 ia 8 States an employer's minimum annual or quarterly pay roll was a factor in determining coverage.

A change in industrial coverage was made in 1939 "by Wisconsin whereby about 8,500 out of approximately 13>500 gov-ernment (non-Federal) employees who were formerly included were excluded after July 1. The most important change in the nnature-of-businessw exclusions in 1939 became effective July 1, when, by Federal statute, employees of interstate railroads and certain allied employers were transferred from coverage by State unemployment compensation systems to a special Federal system of unemployment insurance.

Massachusetts reduced its nsize-of-firmn limitation from employers of at least eight to employers of at least four workers, effective January 1, 1939- Six States, all of which had previously covered employers of less than eight workers, changed their coverage in 1939 "by basing it on the size of the employer's pay roll as well as on the number of workers employed; the new basis extended coverage in New Mexico and Utah and reduced it slightly in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming.

than half of the States were still following the pattern of the Federal Unemployment Tax Act in 1939 and covering only firms employing eight or more.l/ The other laws covered smaller firms; in December 1939» H States, all (with the exception of Pennsylvania) relatively small in terms of the volume of employ-ment, required contributions from all employers in covered indus-tries, provided their businesses had been in operation for the requisite period of time during the year.

The llsize-of-firan coverage limitations in State laws in December of each of the years 1938-1940 were as follows:

Coverage Limitation Number of States 2/ Employers of: i229 19*40 8 or more 28 26 25 7 or more 1 0 0 o or more 0 1 2 5 or more 1 1 1 4 or more 9 2/9 3 or more 2 2 2 2 or more 0 1 1 1 or more 10 11 11 It is believed that there is no serious -understatement or

distortion in the 1939 figures resulting from delinquency on the part of employers in submitting contribution reports to the State agencies. 3 Industrial Classification

The Social Security Board Industrial Classification Code, designed primarily to serve the needs of the Social Security program, is similar to but not identical with systems used by YJ Most States permit elective coverage to employers of fewer

workers than specified in the State law and to certain types of employment specifically excluded by these laws. The extent of such voluntary coverage is not known.

2/ States having coverage based on both number of workers employed and size of pay roll are tabulated according to the number of workers.

2/ Includes Kentucky where, as an alternative to coverage of employers of 4 or more workers paid at least $50 each in each of 3 quarters, there is provision for the coverage of firms employing 8 or more workers in 20 weeks.

other Federal agencies. Under the Social Security Board indus-trial classification procedure adopted "by all State unemployment compensation agencies, each place of "business is coded on the basis of its principal activity. If a firm conducts different activities at its various establishments, separate industry identification numbers are assigned to each establishment. For example, should a firm which is engaged primarily in manufac-turing also operate retail outlets, separate employment and wage data would be reported for each of the functions. Thus, employment and wages for multi-unit employers reported to the Bureau of Employment Security are classified under the indus-trial activity and State to which they properly belong rather than according to the primary industry or location of the reporting employer.

There have been several editions of the Social Security Board Industrial Classification Code. During 19391 most State unemployment compensation agencies used the latest (1939)1/ edition, some classified employers according to the March'"1937 edition and four State agencies—Massachusetts, North Carolina, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia—were still using the 1936 Code. Industrial classification of employment and wage data for 19*40 and subsequent years will be made by all State agencies on the basis of the 1939 edition of the Code#

Classifications in the 1936 edition were almost iden-tical to those in the 1937. The 1939 Code provided for a few changes in 2-digit industry classifications. In addition, while the 1937 code provided only for classifications by major industry groups (2-digits) full use of the 1939 code makes possible subclassification into smaller industry groups t3-&igits) or even industries (H-digits). Srrployment and wage data by industry groups (3-digits) for all States will first become available with the 19^2 figures. The detailed classi-fication will make possible similarly detailed analyses of Nation-wide and State trends in employment and wages. k Unemployment Compensation Coverage

Estimates based on figures supplied by State unemploy-ment compensation agencies indicate that 31*530.500 workers,^ or nearly 50 percent more than the average of 21,3771500

covered workers reported as employed daring the last pay period of each month, obtained wage credits toward unemployment "bene-fits during 1939* This figure represents the maximum number of workers who may be eligible for benefits during their periods of unemployment. The total number of employees ho received some wages taxable under the old-age and survivors insurance program in 1939 w&s 33»l°0»°0Clt 5 percent more than under the unemployment compensation program.

Workers with wage credits under the unemployment compen-sation program in 1939 constituted approximately 60 percent of the total labor force of the continental United States, including employers and the self-employed.l/ To an indeterminant extent, this proportion overstates the degree to which the labor force is covered by unemployment compensation because certain indivi-duals regarded as not in the labor force during the Census week undoubtedly had earned wages in covered employment in the pre-ceding year. Women cannery workers who are ordinarily house-wives are one example, students another, of workers with wage credits but not included in the labor force by the Census Bureau.

The ratio of the number of workers with wage credits under unemployment compensation laws to the total labor force in 1939 ranged from 21.0 percent in North Dakota to 91-3 per-cent in Bhode Island.2/ The ratio is, of course, higher in industrialized States than in States in which a large part of the working population is employed in agriculture or other industries not usually included under unemployment compen-sation laws. The ratio of coverage to total labor force is also affected by the size-of-firm limitations in State laws.

The average number of workers employed during the last pay period of each month in establishments covered by State unemployment compensation programs in 1939 amounted to 85 per-cent of the average employment of workers covered by the Federal

A comparison of employment in covered industries as derived from Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates with employment under the unemployment compensation program by industry division, presented on page 12, clearly indicates that the ratios of unemployment compensation coverage were lowest in industries generally characterized by small estab-lishments. The inverses of the ratios of coverage for employ-ment in trade and in transportation, communication, and other public utilities probably represent fairly good indications of the proportion of workers excluded from unemployment com-pensation coverage by size-of-firm and employment require-ments in State laws. The same factor affects the degree of

1/ Social Security Bulletin, August 19 1. Comparison is based on employment in the 4 months of March, June, September, and December, the only months for which old-age and survivors insurance data are available. The dif-ference in coverage under the two programs is due princi-pally to size-of-firm limitations under State unemployment compensation laws. A further difference between the fig-ures is that -under the old-age and survivors insurance program employers are asked to report the number of employees on the last day or last pay roll of the month; under the employment security program they report the num-ber on the last pay roll of the month. Old-age and sur-vivors insurance data have been adjusted upward to cover delinquent reporting; the corresponding proportion before the adjustment was 88 percent. See table, p. 12.

coverage for the construction industry;!/ the exclusion from coverage "by most State unemployment compensation laws of small contractors, who may have a marked increase in employment during the seasonal peak—an increase which does not, however, extend over 20 or more weeks—may account for most of this dif-ference. The excess of covered employment in manufacturing as compared with the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimate may be due to differences in definition—the unemployment compensation series includes administrative offices and auxiliary units which are classified with the principal manufacturing activity to which they are related. Figures for employment in mining in 1539 are greatly affected by the stoppage in bituminous production which began on April 1 and continued for approxi-mately 7 weeks. The prevalence of small establishments in ser-vice and in finance, insurance, and real estate is undoubtedly responsible for the low ratio of unemployment compensation cov-erage for those industries.

Limitations in State laws relating to the minimum size-of-firm, i.e., the minimum number of covered employees which a firm must employ for a specified period in order to be subject to the unemployment compensation law, had the effect of excluding from unemployment compensation coverage 12 percent of the employees in trade and 25 percent of those in services who were covered by old-age and survivors insurance, as indi-cated in the tabulation on page 12. Comparisons of covered employment -under the two programs, however, are of limited sig-nificance for some industries because of differences in the method of classifying multi-industry employers. Under the old-age and survivors insurance program, employment for multi-industry employers is classified according to the primary industry of the company, rather than lay establishment, and an estimated adjustment is then made for secondary employment. This factor especially affects comparisons of covered employ-ment under the two programs in manufacturing and mining.

Domestic Commerce,!/ was earned "by covered workers. Only percent of all wages in construction and 58 percent in ser-vice, finance, insurance, real estate, and miscellaneous industries was earned "by covered employees. On the other hand, covered employees earned 92 percent of all wages in transpor-tation, communication, and other public utilities and 39 per-cent in trade. Differences in industrial classification "between the two series probably account for the indicated excess of wages earned in establishments covered by State unem-ployment compensation programs over estimated wages earned in all mining establishments and for the very high ratio of cover-age in manufacturing.

Comparisons of wages earned in employment covered by State unemployment compensation programs with wages taxable under the Federal old-age and survivors insurance program have little significance because, in addition to differences due to size-of-firm exclusions under the State laws, wages taxable under the Federal program exclude wages of an individual employee in excess of $3,000 a year from a given employer, whereas, except for Hew York, figures for wages of employees cov-ered by State unemployment compensation programs include such earnings.

In 8 States the number of employees covered by the unem-ployment compensation program equaled or exceeded the number estimated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to be employed in covered industries.2/ In these 8 States coverage extended to all firms regardless of size. 5/ In 31 States covered employ-ment accounted for 90 percent or more of all employment in covered industries. In the 11 States in which the proportion was less than 85 percent, coverage did not extend to employers having less than 8 workers.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics figures used for compari-son are based on unpublished preliminary estimates subject to revisions which may materially affect the ratios for some States. Such revisions may reduce the ratios for States in which covered employment exceeds the present estimates of all employment in covered industries, and, for example, may increase the present ratios of 68 and J2 for North and South Dakota, respectively.

A similar comparison between wages earned by covered employees and all wages and salaries earned in covered indus-tries, derived from estimates compiled by the Bureau of foreign and Domestic Commerce,!/ indicates that in 8 States earnings of covered workers accounted for 90 percent or more of all earnings in covered industries. Four of these 8 were States which had no size-of-firm limitation to coverage.3/ In 25 States earnings of covered workers accounted for 80 to % percent of all earnings in covered industries.

The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce figures, like those of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, represent estimates which are undergoing constant revision. When final adjustments of the estimates are made, some of the more unusual relation-ships, such as the 92 percent coverage of wages for a State (Illinois) which excludes from coverage firms having less than 8 workers, may be modified. Similarly, the coverage of only 72 percent for a State (Nevada) which subjects all firms, regard-less of size, to unemployment compensation contributions may be adjusted upward.

first 10 months of 1939 from 20.2 million in January to a peak of 22.5 million in October, an increase of 11.1 percent. The decline in April was caused by the widespread work stoppage in the bituminous coal industry which was reflected in sharp decreases in employment in Alabama, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The down-turn in July is attributable largely to normal seasonal factors, such as the reduction of employment in Michigan resulting from lay-offs during the per-iod when preparations are made for producing new models in automobile manufacturing establishments. Customary shutdowns to take year-end inventories and seasonal declines in con-struction, mining, and certain manufacturing industries such as food, clothing, and tobacco probably accounted for the 2.1 percent decline in covered employment in the last 2 months of the year. December 1939 employment, however, was still 9*2 percent above the level of December 1938.

Wages earned in covered employment increased steadily from $6.6 billion in the first quarter to $7.8 billion in the last, a 19 percent rise, reflecting fuller employment as well as the usual year-end bonuses. Declines in some industries for a single quarter, as in bituminous coal mining in April-June and in automobile manufacturing in July-September were insufficient to reverse the upward national trend.

The expansion in the number of covered workers employed, which characterized the last half of 1939» w a s "by a sub-stantial increase in mining, after the stoppage in the Spring, and was shared by manufacturing, utilities, and wholesale and retail trade. Increases of about 200,000 from July to December in the number of covered workers employed in the manufacture of iron and steel and their products, 180,000 in the manufacture of automobiles and automobile equipment, and 109,000 in the production of electrical and other machinery, accounted for the larger part of the rise in manufacturing. Employment in trade increased 4-13,000 from July to December. More than 70 percent of this increase was due to expansion of employment in retail general merchandising, which is greatly affected by the year-end holidays.

In the service industries, of which personal service is the largest, covered employment rose gradually from January to June, then declined slightly during the summer before attaining

Page 32: Empwag Bes 194108

19

a peak in September, attributable to an increase in employment in the amusement and recreation industry. Thereafter, it declined and, by the end of December, was only 2.2 percent above the January figure.

Construction and finance furnished contrasts to the gen-erally persistent -upward tendency. Covered employment in the highly seasonal construction industry fluctuated widely during 1939. From a low of 733,000 in February, it rose 52.7 percent to a peak in August, and then declined 27*5 percent to 211,000 at the end of December, although 8.9 percent above the first month of the year. Covered employment in finance, insurance, and real estate remained comparatively steady throughout the year and was slightly lower in December than in January.

The pattern of industrial trends in quarterly wages earned in covered employment in 1939 generally followed that of employment. The distortion in the wage figures due to the exclusion from the New York reports of wages for an individual worker in excess of $3*000 a year from any single employer is especially apparent in the high-wage finance, insurance, and real estate division, for which reported wages declined more than $10 million from the first to the second quarter, and an almost equal drop took place between the second and third quar-ters, although no comparable decrease occurred in the number of workers employed. If data for New York were omitted from the total for the industry division, wages earned in finance and related industries would have shown a steady increase from $29S million in the first quarter to $338 million in the fourth. The effect of the wage exclusion in New York was to increasingly understate the amounts paid during the last 3 quarters of the year.l/ Christmas and other bonus payments during the last quarter tend to offset this factor somewhat. 6 Industrial and Geographical Concentrations

Due both to the statutory exclusion from coverage of cer-tain classes, such as agricultural, maritime, and domestic employees, and also to size-of-firm and pay roll limitations which have the effect of excluding a wide variety of industries and services characterized by small establishments, covered employment and wages are highly concentrated. l/ After the first $3,000 has been reported, employer reports

in New York exclude wages paid to an employee for subse-quent periods of the year. 414699 0—41 3

Manufacturing industries in 1939 accounted for percent of the average monthly employment of all workers cov-ered "by State unemployment compensation programs and 5*7 Per-cent of their wages. Covered employment within the manufac-turing division was almost equally divided "between industries producing durable and nondurable goods. Durable goods indus-tries accounted for 6.3 percent and nondurable goods indus-tries for 53*7 percent of covered employment in the division.1/ In spite of the exclusions arising from size-of-firm limi-tations, the wholesale and retail trade division 2/ ranked second, with 25® 2 percent of the employment and 2J. 7 percent of the wages. Thus, more than 70 percent of all covered employ-ment and wages in 1939 was to be found in these two industry divisions combined. The remaining 3° percent was distributed among five industry divisions—transportation, communication, and other public utilities 2/ bad 7*5 percent of all employment and 8*5 percent of wages; service industries 8.1 percent of total employment and 7*1 percent of wages; finance, insurance, and real estate .9 percent of employment and 6.2 percent of wages; construction 4.5 percent of employment and 4.^ percent of wages; and mining 3*8 and 3*9 percent, respectively.

The concentration of covered employment in certain indus-try divisions accounts for a similar concentration in States with large numbers of workers in such industries. The 8 highly industrialized States of California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania had 58 percent of all covered workers and 63 percent of total wages earned in covered employment. On the other hand, 2*+ States, mostly located in the Rocky Mountain area and the agricultural West, each had less than 1 percent, and together only about 10 percent of total covered employment.

In both New York and Pennsylvania more than a million covered workers were employed in manufacturing. These States, together with the 6 others mentioned above, accounted for about 60 percent of all covered employment and 65 percent of the total wages earned by covered workers in manufacturing—

a distribution which corresponds closely to that shown by the 1939 Census of Manufactures. These 8 States also embraced 57 percent of covered employment and 6l percent of wages in wholesale and retail trade. The ratios for wages would have been higher if New York had reported total, instead of merely taxable, wages.

New York, partly because its coverage provisions extend to employers of k or more workers, and California, because of its motion-picture industry, had more than 513,000 of the 1,723,2*40 covered workers employed in service industries. In the service division, these two States, together with Illinois, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, accounted for 52 percent of all covered employment and 59 percent of total wages.

Workers in transportation, communication, and other pub-lic utilities (excluding railroads and other employers under the jurisdiction of the Bailroad Retirement Board) were simi-larly concentrated with slightly more than half of the covered workers in California, Illinois, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,

There was even less geographical dispersion among cov-ered workers in finance, insurance, and real estate. Because of the concentration of large financial institutions in New York City, New York State alone accounted for 325,235, or 31 percent, of the average covered employment in that industry division—more than the combined total of California, Illinois, and Pennsylvania, ishich had the next largest numbers.

Pennsylvania, Tshere much of the bituminous, and the entire anthracite, mining industry of the country is located, together with West Virginia, Illinois, Kentucky, and Texas, (where there were 55, 37 covered workers engaged in the pro-duction of crude petroleum and natural gas) accounted for approximately 56 percent of both the average monthly covered employment and the wages earned by covered workers in mining industries.

Covered employment in construction was more evenly dis-tributed geographically, although 29 percent of the covered workers and 3*+ percent of the wages were concentrated in New York, Pennsylvania, and California*

annual per capita earnings, resulting from more regular employ-ment or higher wage rates. 7 State Industrial Patterns

The industrial composition of covered employment and wages within the "boundaries of each State is highly signifi-cant in relation to the unemployment compensation program. While covered employment in some States is highly diversified, in others it is concentrated in a few major industry groups. Untoward developments of a cyclical, seasonal, technological, or fortuitous nature, which may affect these industries, will have repercussions on the operation of the unemployment com-pensation program in these States, through heavy administra-tive "burdens, and possibly also serious drains on funds.

The relative importance of each industry division and major industry group in each of the 51 jurisdictions is shown in the tables which follow.l/ The distributions are based on employment covered by State unemployment compensation laws and consequently are influenced by size-of-firm and other limitations which greatly affect their broad economic signifi-cance. Consideration of such limitations is also extremely important in drawing comparisons between States, and even in interpreting data for a single State, since size-of-firm limi-tations will have the effect of understating the proportion of employment in industries characterized by small establishments.

No single major industry group accounted for as much as 10 percent of all covered employment in 15 States, including New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. In Alaska, on the other hand, more than 60 percent of covered employment was concen-trated in two major industry groups—the manufacture of food and kindred products and the mining of metals. A single major industry group—textile manufacturing—accounted for 50 per-cent of covered employment in South Carolina, 44 percent in North Carolina, 34 percent in Bhode Island, and 2b percent in Georgia. Similarly, nearly 43 percent of all covered workers in Hawaii were employed in food manufacturing alone, 37 per-cent in West Virginia in bituminous coal mining, and 28 per-cent in Nevada in metal mining. New Hampshire had 38 percent of its covered employment in leather products factories and textile mills. The manufacture of automobiles and automobile equipment accounted for 29 percent of all covered employment

The proportion of total covered employment in the highly seasonal construction industry in no State exceeded 13 percent, and ranged between 5 and 10 for most. In 19 States, less than 5 percent of the covered workers were engaged in construction. The generally low ratios of covered workers in this industry division are due largely to size-of-firm exclusions in State laws.

The size-of-firm factor also affected the State patterns of covered employment in the service industries. There were higher proportions in this industry division in Arizona, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming—all of which cover employers of 1 or more— than in most other States. California led all the remaining States with 13.8 percent of its total covered employment in service industries, which include the motion picture industry, hotels, and personal services. New York had 10.8 percent of its covered employment in services. In spite of the effect of size-of-firm limitations and of the exclusion of domestic ser-vice in private homes, service industries accounted for not less than 3*6 percent of all covered employment in every State.

The proportion of covered employment in the transpor-tation, communication, and public utilities division, which comprised between 10 and 20 percent of all covered employment in 34 States in 193S, was sharply reduced in 1939 "by the removal from State coverage of interstate railroads and cer-tain of their subsidiaries. The bulk of covered employment in the industry division in 1939 was concentrated in the communi-cation, public utilities, and trucking groups. In relation to total employment, the proportion of covered workers in this industry division did not vary greatly among the States, ranging from 3*5 percent in North Carolina to 13.2 percent in Texas.

Although there were 13 States in which the number of covered employees in trade comprised less than one-half of one percent of the Nationfs total, for no jurisdiction was employ-ment in this industry division less than 10 percent of its total coverage. The lowest proportion, 10.9 percent, was for Alaska. In the remaining States, it ranged from about ik to a high of 51 percent, most States having between 25 and 35 per-cent of their total covered employment in trade.

Workers engaged in finance, insurance, and real estate, on the other hand, exceeded 6 percent of total covered employ-ment only in California, Delaware, the District of Columbia, and New York.

8 Monthly Fluctuations in Employment Measures of monthly fluctuations in covered employ-

ment, for industries and States, are presented "below. They are coefficients which represent the mean deviation of employment in each month from the average monthly employment during the year, expressed as a percentage of the average monthly employ-ment.!/ They are uncorrected for secular trend.

Although the coefficient of monthly fluctuation in employment for all industries was only the sharply diver-gent patterns of individual industries are indicated by a rajqge from 0.7 to 12.4 for industry divisions, from 0.6 to 18.4 for major industry groups, and from 1.7 to 40.5 for States. These figures, moreover, are based on total employment in groups of industries or in a State, and so may conceal wider fluctuations in employment in individual industries through the cancellation of possible coinciding peaks and troughs.

For industry divisions, the coefficients of monthly fluctuation in employment were as follows:

Coefficient of monthly Industry division fluctuation, 1939

Mining 6*4 Construction 12.4 Manufacturing 4.1 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities 1.8

Wholesale and retail trade 2.9 Finance, insurance, and real estate 0.7 Service industries 2.4 Miscellaneous 2/ 9*4

1/ The coefficient may be expressed mathematically as:

C = [ 11 — M] x 100 where 12 C = coefficient M * average monthly employment for the 12 months of

1939. 2d = sum of the monthly deviations from M.

2/ Includes establishments in agriculture, forestry, and fishing which may be covered, and others not elsewhere clas-sified.

Within these divisions, there was considerable variation among major industry groups.l/ Although the coefficient for the entire mining division averaged 6.4, it was l4#U for "bitu-minous and other soft-coal mining and 8.6 for non-metallic mining and quarrying. Included in mining is one of the most stable major industry groups—crude petroleum and natural gas production, with a coefficient of I.h—which reduced the aver-age for the division.

Covered employment in all branches of the construction industry showed sharp monthly fluctuations. The range of the measure of monthly fluctuation for groups in the manufacturing division was comparatively narrow—from 0.6 in printing, pub-lishing and allied industries to 8.1 in the manufacture of auto-mobiles and automobile equipment. The industrial coverage of many major industry groups in this division, however, is so wide as to allow for mutual cancellation of peaks and troughs among individual industries and possibly to conceal wide monthly fluctuations. The apparel group, for example, has a coeffi-cient of only 3.8 although it includes the men's and womenfs clothing industries, which are subject to wide monthly fluctu-ations .

Even the relatively stable utilities division includes a major industry group with fairly wide monthly fluctuations in employment—trucking and/or warehousing for hire has a coefficient of 6.0. Due to the requirements of a specified number of weeks during which a minimum number of workers must be employed in a year, many seasonal employers in trade, as in other industries, are not subject to unemployment compensation programs. Even after these exclusions, however, covered employment in retail general merchandising had a coefficient of monthly fluctuation of 8.2. Other coefficients in the trade division ranged from 1.6 for the retailing of food (including liquor stores) to f.O for the retailing of apparel and accessories.

Covered employment in all major industry groups in the finance, insurance, and real estate division was quite stable. The only exception was enployment in holding companies (except real estate holding companies) which had a coefficient of 4.0. The service division embraces both some of the most stable and some of the most unstable industry groups. The coefficient of

fluctuation was 1.0 for business services (not elsewhere clas-sified), and 1.2 for motion pictures, for medical and other health services, and for law offices and related services; but for the amusement and recreation group it was 10.6, and for educational institutions and agencies, 11.6.

Inclusion in the miscellaneous division of covered employment in establishments engaged in agricultural activi-ties accounts for the high coefficient of 9*4.

For the country as a whole, the major industry groups with the highest coefficients l/ of monthly fluctuation in employment in 1939 were:

General contractors, other than building 18.4 Bituminous and other soft-coal mining l4.4 Educational institutions and agencies 11.6 Construction—special trade contractors 10.6 Amusement and recreation and related services, not elsewhere classified 10.6

A similar ranking of States,l/ shown on page 29» indi-cates that, in general, the highest coefficients of fluctu-ation were associated with States in which covered employment was either not diversified or was concentrated in a few unstable industries, and the lowest with States which had either a high degree of diversification or a high proportion of employment in relatively stable industries.

In some of these States, such as .Alaska and Hawaii, cli-matic conditions are the major factor determining the monthly pattern of covered employment. In others, a lack of industrial diversification contributes to the immobility of labor; workers are dependent on a few, often seasonal, industries and when lay-offs occur there are rare opportunities for employment in other kinds of enterprise.

Covered employment in New York and Missouri, on the other hand, is highly diversified and there are many opportunities for interindustry migration in times of slack. A single stable industry~crude petroleum and natural gas production—dominates covered employment in Texas and Oklahoma. The coefficient of fluctuation for this major industry group in Texas was only 1.3» and in Oklahoma, 2.5* The pattern of covered employment in Kansas is determined by a few relatively stable industries. The textile manufacturing industry of Tennessee, which accounted for 13 percent of all covered employment in the State in 1939» ka^ a coefficient of fluctuation of only 1*9-
