Preface

This bulletin updates industry indexes of output per man-hour and output per employee for the industries currently included in the U. S. Governments productivity measurement program. The data cover the years 1939 and 1947 to 1973. Indexes for the intercity trucking, telephone, paint, and pharmaceutical industries are added for the first time.

The selected industries for which output per man-hour indexes are shown are not necessarily a representative cross section of American industry. They should not be combined, therefore, to obtain an overall measure for the entire economy or for any sector. Each index is intended to represent only the change in output per man-hour for the designated industry or combination of industries. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does publish indexes of output per man-hour and related measures for the total private economy and for major sectors of the economy — nonfarm, manufacturing, and nonfinancial corporations. Those measures show the relationship between gross product originating in the private economy or in its major sectors, and employment and man­hours. (These data are presented in the Bureau of Labor Statistics* Productivity and Costs in the Private Economy (quarterly), in Produc­tivity arid Costs in Nonfinancial Corporations (quarterly), in the Monthly Labor Review, and in Employment and Earnings.)

Productivity measures in this study describe the relationship between output in real terms and labor time involved in its production. They show the changes from year to year in the amount of labor time required to produce a unit of output. Although the measures relate output to employment and man-hours, they do not measure the specific contributions of labor, capital, or any other factor of production. Rather, they reflect the joint effect of a number of interrelated influences, such as changes in technology, capital investment per worker, changes in the level of output, utilization of capacity, layout and flow of material, managerial skill, and skills and effort of the work force.

This bulletin was prepared in the Bureau’s Office of Productivity and Technology by John Carey, Richard Carnes, John Duke, John Ferris, Brian Friedman, John Henneberger, Clyde Huffstutler, Barbara Koch, Phyllis Otto, Elmer Persigehl, James Urisko, and Patricia Wilder, under the direction of Charles Ardolini, Horst Brand, and Arthur Herman.

Highlights of Trends in Output Per Man-Hour

Current developments

Productivity increased between 1972 and 1973 in almost three-quarters of the selected industries presented in this report. The gains ranged from a high of 12.3 percent for the aluminum rolling and drawing industry to a low of 0.3 percent for coal mining. Productivity growth in most industries, however, was slower from 1972-73 than in the previous year. Declines in productivity were recorded by 10 industries in 1973, as com­pared with seven in 1972. This situation parallels the trend in the total private sector of the economy, where output per man-hour increased 3.0 percent between 1972-73, down from 3.8 percent between 1971-72.

Steel manufacturing was one of the few industries that had a significant gain over the previous year. Output per man-hour grew 10.8 percent between 1972-73, compared to 5.8 percent between 1971-72. This economically important industry had a record production level in 1973, as demand continued high throughout the year. A high output level allowed the industry to take full advantage of its recently installed modern capital equipment, including basic oxygen furnaces and continuous casting units. Output gained 19.0 percent between 1972-73, while man-hours increased 7.4 percent, resulting in the largest productivity gain for the steel industry since 1959. The situation in motor vehicles manufacturing, another major industry, was quite different. Productivity grew by only 2.7 percent between 1972-73, down from 4.1 percent in the previous year, and well below the long term average of 3.9 percent from 1957-72. This industry was greatly affected by the petroleum shortage in the latter part of 1973. While demand was high during the first three quarters of the year, it dropped sharply in the last quarter. Man-hours did not drop off nearly as much as output in the fourth quarter, as manufac­turers began to make major changes in production facilities to build more small cars. Despite the falloff in auto sales at the end of the year, output of motor vehicles grew by 14.0 percent between 1972 and 1973. However, man-hours almost matched this gain, growing by 11.0 per­cent, resulting in the small increase in productivity.

Two other industries significantly affected by the energy shortage were tires and paint manufacturing. Productivity in these industries declined 4.6 and 3.9 percent, respectively. Many of the materials used to make tires and paint are petroleum based and were in very short supply in 1973. Another factor in the productivity decline for the tire industry was the increase in production of radial tires. Auto manufac­turers made radials standard for many new cars in 1975. This required a rapid shift to new production facilities by the industry. Among other energy related industries, petroleum refining posted a large productivity

gain of 9.0 percent, based on an increase in output of 6.4 percent and a decline in man-hours of 2.3 percent. Bituminous' coal and lignite mining and gas and electric utilities, on the other hand, had very small productivity increases of 0.6 and 0.4 percent, respectively.

Over the short term, gains in productivity generally can be related to gains in output. This was the case between 1972-73, when more than three-quarters of the Industries had output increases and almost 90 per­cent of these had productivity gains. However, output Increased less In most industries than the previous year, while man-hours increased more, resulting in the less favorable productivity growth situation in 1973.The employment picture among the selected industries, however, was very good, with about 80 percent recording gains between 1972-73, as compared with about 60 percent the previous year.Long term trends

All of the industries for which data are available had gains in productivity over the 26-year period — 1947-73. Increases ranged from a high of 7.6 percent for air transportation to a low of 1.3 percent for the footwear and cigarette manufacturing industries. (See table 1.) A significant factor resulting in the low productivity rate for the foot­wear industry was the inability to mechanize production operations due to changing styles and the great number of sizes produced. The cigarette industry, on the other hand, has been highly mechanized for a long time. However, technological changes over the period were not significant. The high growth rate for air transportation can be attributed largely to the adoption .of the jet plane which increased the speed, capacity, and range of air travel.

In the more recent period, 1968-73, productivity rates ranged from a high of 9.1 percent for man-made fibers to a low of -3.2 percent for coal mining. (See chart 1.) About two-thirds of the industries had growth rates that were lower than the preceding period (1948-68 for most industries). The fairly general slowdown in the growth rate among the selected industries is in line "with the experience in the total private economy, where output per man-hour grew at a rate of 2.6 percent from 1968-73, as compared to 3.2 percent from 1948-68. The coal mining indus­try had a small average increase in output in the 1968-73 period which was more than offset by a large average increase in man-hours, resulting in the significant decrease in productivity. Among the reasons for the productivity decline in this industry were more stringent safety regula­tions, which particularly slowed production in underground mines, but affected surface mines also, and the impact of work stoppages. (For a graphic presentation of the long term trends in output per man-hour and related data for the selected industries, see charts 2-84.)

Page 19: Indexes of Output Per Man-Hour - FRASER · This bulletin updates industry indexes of output per man-hour and output per employee for the industries currently included in the U. S

New measuresTelephone Communications. Output per man-hour in telephone

communications rose at an average annual rate of 6.4 percent between 1951 and 1973, with output advancing at the very high rate of 8.1 percent annually, and man-hours at 1.6 percent. Between 1972-73, labor produc­tivity in the industry increased by 4.7 percent, slightly below the long term rate. Output advanced at 7.8 percent and man-hours at 3.0 percent.

Rapid expansion in the demand for telephone service, together with the introduction of laborsaving technologies have been the chief sources of the large productivity gains in the industry. The wide availability of telephones — there are more than 60 telephones per 100 persons in the United States — has in itself spurred demand. The dispersion of homes and businesses in suburbs, population mobility, and the growing communica­tions needs of business and government have been additional demand sources.

Long-distance calls, in particular, have been affected by technological developments. Coaxial cables now have a capacity of more than 90,000 calls transmitted simultaneously, 15 times the number such cables transmitted two decades ago. The capacity of microwave trans­mitters has tripled in recent years. These and related developments have encouraged direct dialing of long-distance calls, as well as accelerated the demand for private lines. However, technological progress in local service has been slower, and such service, therefore, still requires relatively more labor per unit of output than toll call service.

Continued productivity gains are likely for the telephone industry, although population factors will figure less prominently as a source of demand growth, since the proportion of households with telephones already runs to well over nine-tenths. Technological improvements, however, seem likely to continue to prove laborsaving. Electronic switching, for example, requires less maintenance and repair than electro-mechanical switching systems. The space satellite also will have an impact on communications.

Intercity Trucking. Output per employee in the intercity trucking industry increased at an average rate of 2.7 percent a year between 1954 and 1973. This moderate rate of increase derives from output and employ­ment increases of 6.2 percent and 3.4 percent, respectively. The produc­tivity rate is substantially lower than in other segments of the trans­portation industry, such as air carriers, railroads, and pipelines. The growth in intercity trucking productivity has reflected the gradual introduction of technological innovation, larger capacity trucks, and an improved interstate highway system.

Page 20: Indexes of Output Per Man-Hour - FRASER · This bulletin updates industry indexes of output per man-hour and output per employee for the industries currently included in the U. S

Between 1972-73, output per employee for the industry grew by 4.7 percent. This greater than average gain in productivity resulted from a large increase in demand for trucking services, particularly in the first half of 1973.

Normal expansion in the production and distribution of goods should continue to contribute to growth of output of the trucking industry and may spur increases in productivity. Truckers expect to increase produc­tivity by using twin- and triple-trailer operations more extensively and by meeting shippers1 transportation needs through greater use of specialized trucks. In addition, recent changes in ICC rulings with regard to number of trips, points served, and rate schedules are expected to result in consolidation of shipments and shortening trip length by eliminating circuitous routes.

Since 1955, rail piggyback carloadings have increased tenfold compared with a threefold increase in intercity truck haulage. Similar intermodal links are now also being established with water and air­freight carriers. Such links will undoubtedly raise the productivity of freight transportation as a total system, but may diminish the relative importance of long-distance trucking.

Pharmaceutical Preparations. Output per man-hour in the pharmaceutical industry rose at an average annual rate of 4.9 percent over the 1963-73 decade. Output grew at the very high rate of 8.0 per­cent annually, and all employee man-hours at 3.0 percent. Between 1972-73, output per man-hour grew 1.4 percent, well below the long term average. Output rose by 5.4 percent and man-hours by 4.0 percent.

Productivity advances in the pharmaceutical industry have been spurred by strong demand as well as technological improvements. Signifi­cant demand factors include the large size of population groups suscepti­ble to infectious and organic illiness, i.e., children under 5 and adults 55 years old and over. These groups totaled 56 million persons in 1970,6 percent more than in 1960. In addition, rising incomes, the'expanding availability of public arfd private funds for health care, and spreading health awareness contributed to a broadening of the demand for drugs.

Processing technology has been steadily improved, with tableting presses currently compressing up to twice as many units as in the middle sixties, and mixing and granulating processes speeded up by a factor of three in some plants over the past 10-15 years. Automated and semi- automated techniques for quality control, an integral part of pharma­ceutical production operations, have recently been introduced. Computers compare the results generated by quality control equipment with standard specifications. These have tended to eliminate the chance of computa­tional error, and have helped raise the number of samples run through the analytical devices, which control quality, by six to eight times.

Continued gains in the industry’s productivity are likely in the years ahead, since it is expected that output will keep growing at a considerably faster rate than man-hours. Demand for drugs will continue to be fueled by the needs of an aging population, and increasing aware­ness of what is necessary to maintain good health. Product innovation, a crucial factor in the industry’s expansion in the earlier post- World War II period, will hinge more on breakthroughs in basic knowledge concerning the drug action in man. A repetition of the "golden age of drug development," which occurred between 1935 and 1965, and which was based on the development of such anti-infectives as penicillins and, to a lesser extent, on oral contraceptives, is not expected soon.

Paints and Allied Products. Output per man-hour grew at the moderate rate of 2.5 percent between 1958-73, reflecting an average increase in output of 3.7 percent and a gain in man-hours of 1.4 percent. In the more recent period, 1968-73, productivity grew at the slow pace of 1.0 percent. Among the reasons for the modest productivity growth were slow introduction of improved technology for paint manufacturing, and slacken­ing in the growth of the total economy in the latter part of the period.

Since paints and allied products are used as coatings for almost all the goods produced in the economy, the slowdown in general economic activity from 1968-73, reinforced by poor years in a number of industries that are particularly large users of paint, such as motor vehicles, furniture, and construction, led to a dropoff in production. Output grew at an average annual rate of only 1.6 percent from 1968-73, compared with 4.7 percent from 1958-68. This in turn affected productivity adversely during the period.

The paint industry was hit particularly hard by the petroleum shortage in 1973. Many of the pigments, vehicles, and solvents used by the industry are derived from petroleum, and were in very short supply.It was mainly because of this problem that the industry had a decline in output between 1972-73. This, coupled with an increase in man-hours, resulted in a decline in productivity of 3.9 percent.

Paint production consists mainly of batch—manufacturing operations. Changes in paintmaking techniques over the period measured have been gradual. Innovations in paintmaking have taken the form of more advanced equipment, more efficiently designed plants, and more usable raw materials. A number of new techniques for coating surfaces are growing in importance. One of these, powder coating, may have an important impact on the indus­try, since it requires a change in manufacturing techniques. The indus­try has been affected by environmental controls which have increased the shift from oil-based to water-based paints and led to reductions in the use of lead and mercury ingredients.

The paint manufacturing industry consists of a large number of small firms located throughout the country, and a few large firms with high volume plants. Shipping costs tend to balance out economies of scale, and the industry is highly competitive. Capital expenditures per employee were generally below the average for all manufacturing industries, and research and development expenditures were low. Assum­ing the continuation of these constraints, plus production techniques that are difficult to automate, the productivity growth rate for this industry will probably continue to be below the manufacturing average.

Methods and Data

The Indexes of output per man-hour are computed by dividing an output index by an index of aggregate man-hours. Corresponding measures also are computed relating output to the number of employees. Thus, the industry indexes presented measure changes in the relationship between output and employment or man-hours. Indexes of unit labor requirements are not shown in this issue. They may be derived for each industry, however, by divid­ing an index of employment or man-hours by an index of output.

The output Indexes are based primarily on the physical output of the products of the industry combined with fixed period weights. Unit man­hour weights are used whenever possible. However, for most industries, unit value weights, which are assumed to be proportional to unit man-hour weights, are used as substitute weights. Indexes for 1947-58 are based on 1947 weights; for 1958-63, 1958 weights; for 1963-67, 1963 weights; and for 1967-73, 1967 weights. For three industries — railroads, iron mining, and copper mining — two alternative productivity measures, using different concepts of industry output, are presented.

Employment and man-hour indexes are developed primarily from basic data compiled by the Bureau of the Census or the Bureau of Labor Statis­tics. In concept, indexes based on man-hour data from the Bureau of the Census relate to plant hours only. Man-hour data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics include not only hours at work but also payroll hours such as vacations, holidays, and sick leave paid by the establishment directly to the employee. 1/ In general, because of increases in paid leave during the period, output per man-hour worked would tend to show a somewhat higher rate of gain than output per man-hour paid. However, actual differences may result from statistical limitations in the data as well as from differences in concepts.

This report includes indexes of output per man-hour and output per employee. In most cases the indexes are shown for all employees, pro­duction workers, and nonproduction workers. 2/ Although both the Bureau

1/ Indexes for the railroad transportation industry are based on data from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), and are related primarily to hours at work.

27 The term "production workers" has been used for many years to cover manufacturing and mining employees who work at the plant or mine and who are generally in nonsupervisory occupations. The remaining employees, such as professional, technical, clerical, supervisory, etc., have been identified as "nonproduction workers."

Page 26: Indexes of Output Per Man-Hour - FRASER · This bulletin updates industry indexes of output per man-hour and output per employee for the industries currently included in the U. S

of the Census and the Bureau of Labor Statistics provide data on production worker man-hours, neither source provides annual data by industry on nonproduction worker or all employee man-hoars. Therefore, the nonproduction worker man-hours are estimated.

The estimates of aggregate nonproduction worker man-hours for the manufacturing industries are derived from published employment data and from estimates of average annual hours worked or paid per noiipro duct ion worker. The estimates of average annual hours paid are calculated by multiplying the number of workweeks in the year by the scheduled weekly hours. Estimated hours for vacatipns, holidays, disability, and personal time off are subtracted from average annual hours paid to obtain an estimate of average annual hour$ worked. Vacation and holiday trends are based on studies by the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, and on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys.Personal time off has been estimated as a constant on the basis of data obtained from various sources.

All employee man-hour estimates for manufacturing industries are derived by summing the aggregate man-hours for production workers and the estimated aggregate man-hours for nonproduction workers. 3/

Indexes involving nonproduction worker man-hours are subject to a wider margin of error than are the indexes involving only production worker man-hours, because it was necessary to estimate the average man­hours of nonproduction workers. Any errors in these estimates, however, would have a relatively insignificant effect on the indexes of man-hours for all employees.

The output indexes and man-hour components of the industry productivity indexes are based on data from a number of different sources which are identified in the accompanying tables. For most of the indus­tries, the 1973 output indexes are based on the data sources that are regularly used. However, for some industries the normal data sources are not as yet available, and estimates using other information, such as the Federal Reserve Board output indexes, the Current Industrial Reports of the Bureau of the Census, and trade association data, are used. For those industries using the Bureau of the Census or ICC as the primary source of employment and man-hours, the 1973 indexes are developed by linking employment and man-hour data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, since 1973 Census data are not yet available. Because of these esti­mates, all 1973 output per man-hour measures are considered preliminary and are subject to revision.

3/ The ICC publishes all employee man-hours for the railroad transportation industry.

Page 27: Indexes of Output Per Man-Hour - FRASER · This bulletin updates industry indexes of output per man-hour and output per employee for the industries currently included in the U. S

The indexes refer to the standard reference base (1967*100) and conform to the 1967 Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system.

All average annual rates of change are based on the linear least squares trends of the logarithms of the Index numbers. Average annual rates of change for any time periods shown in this report are available on request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

More detailed information on the methods, limitations, and data sources, is contained in the BLS Handbook of Methods, BLS Bulletin 1711 (1971), Chapter 26, and in a number of individual industry reports. These publications, as well as additional information, are available on request from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
