Preface

This bulletin updates through 1979 indexes of output per employee hour and output per employee for the industries currently included in the U.S. Government’s productivity measurement program. For most indus­tries, indexes are presented in this bulletin beginning with 1954. For many of these industries, however, data can be obtained beginning with 1947 upon request.

Indexes are published for the first time for the follow­ing industries: Paper and plastic bags; fabricated struc­tural metal; construction machinery; drug and proprie­tary stores; ball and roller bearings; and bus carriers. An article on the paper and plastic bag industry ap­peared in the May 1980 issue of the Monthly Labor Review. Articles on other new industries were also published in the Monthly Labor Review: Fabricated structural metal (June 1980), construction machinery (July 1980), drug and proprietary stores (November 1980), and ball and roller bearings (January 1981). An article on bus carriers will appear in a forthcoming issue. Indexes for electric utilities and gas utilities are presented separately for the first time.

Each index is intended to represent only the change in output per employee hour for the designated industry or combination of industries. These industries are not necessarily a representative cross-section of U.S. indus­try. They should not be combined, therefore, to obtain an overall measure for the entire U.S. economy or for any sector. However, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does publish indexes of output per hour of all persons and related measures for the private business sector and the nonfarm business, manufacturing, and nonfinancial corporate sectors. These productivity series show the relationship between gross product originating in these sectors and employment and hours. (The data are presented in the Bureau of Labor Statistics press releases Productivity and Costs (quarterly), in the

Monthly Labor Review, and in Employment and Earnings.)

The productivity measures in this bulletin describe the relationship between output in real terms and the 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 these measures relate output to employment and employee 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; level of output; utilization of capacity; layout and flow of material; managerial skill; and skills and effort of the work force. Some of the productivity measures use a labor input series based on hours paid and some use a labor input series based on hours at the plant.

Highlights of Trends in Output per Employee Hour

Current developmentsFrom 1978 to 1979, output per employee hour in­

creased in only slightly more than one-half of the indus­tries for which data are presented in this report. In contrast, from 1977 to 1978, productivity advanced in two-thirds of the industries. This slowdown in produc­tivity was consistent with the performance of the non­farm business sector as a whole, where productivity fell 0.8 percent in 1979-

Among the large manufacturing industries, the motor vehicle industry sustained a 3.7 percent decline in output per employee hour in 1979 as output dropped 8.8 per­cent and employee hours fell 5.3 percent. The gasoline shortage and higher prices caused a substantial shift in consumer demand from large to smaller cars. Gains in the production of smaller models were not enough to offset the decline in the production of larger models. In­terruptions in the production flow caused by the de­mand shift had a negative influence on productivity.

Steel, another large manufacturing industry, also ex­perienced a decline in productivity—1.3 percent—based on a reduction of 0.3 percent in output and an increase of 1.0 percent in employee hours. Steel mill shipments remained strong in the first half of 1979 but declined sharply in the second half. Demand from the auto­mobile market, a major steel consumer, started out strongly but slumped in the second half of the year, and shipments to this market were down sharply by yearend. Another weakened market for steel in 1979 was the ap­pliance industry because of a decline in residential con­struction.

Other large manufacturing industries posting produc­tivity declines in 1979 were: Sawmills, -3.1 percent; petroleum refining, -2 .2 percent; gray iron foundries, -0 .8 percent; pulp and paper, -0 .4 percent; and con­struction machinery, -0 .3 percent. All of these indus­tries except pulp and paper had declines in output in 1979.

On the positive side, however, several large manu­facturing industries did post productivity gains. Of these, the fabricated structural metal industry scored one of the highest gains. Productivity in this industry in­creased 6 percent in 1979 as output went up by over 14 percent and employee hours climbed by nearly 8 per­

cent. Output growth was stimulated by a substantial rise in use of steel in construction, particularly in buildings for industrial use and in bridges.

Other large industries recording productivity gains were: Fluid milk, 5.3 percent; motors and generators,3.6 percent; major household appliances, 3.0 percent; tires and inner tubes, 2.9 percent; household furniture, 2.8 percent; bakery products, 1.6 percent; footwear, 1.1 percent; bottled and canned soft drinks, 0.9 percent; corrugated and solid fiber boxes, 0.5 percent; and phar­maceutical preparations, 0.5 percent.

Most of the mining industries experienced produc­tivity declines, though all recorded increases in output in 1979. Productivity in coal mining dropped 9.5 percent. Even though output in this industry increased dramati­cally—by nearly 16 percent-production worker hours rose even more as the industry recovered from a major strike in 1978. Copper mining (recoverable metal) and nonmetallic minerals recorded large productivity declines of 10.0 and 3.7 percent, respectively. The only exception to the falloff in productivity among the min­ing industries was iron mining (usable ore), where pro­ductivity increased 6.9 percent as output posted an above-average gain.

Among the transportation industries, intercity truck­ing experienced the largest falloff in productivity, 1.2 percent. Output in this industry advanced only 0.2 per­cent while employment increased 1.4 percent. The out­put of the trucking industry was adversely affected by declines in the shipments of petroleum products and motor vehicles. Additionally, several nationwide strikes in 1979 had a negative impact on productivity. Posting a small decline in productivity of 0.1 percent, the railroad transportation industry saw output rise 2.4 percent while hours advanced 2.5 percent in 1979. The rise in in­dustry output, sustained by coal shipments, was more than balanced by the 1979 growth in hours, which rose sharply after a work stoppage in 1978. Productivity in the air transportation industry increased 3.4 percent. Output in this industry was up by about 10 percent while the number of employees increased by over 6 percent. In the petroleum pipelines industry, productivity was up by 2.2 percent as output grew by 4.0 percent while em­ployee hours were up j.7 percent. Bus carriers posted a small increase in productivity of 0.4 percent in 1979.

In utilities, both the gas and electric industries ex­perienced declines in productivity, dropping by 0.1 and 0.4 percent, respectively. On the other hand, the tele­phone communications industry had a productivity gain of 3.6 percent.

Productivity declined in most retail trade and service industries: Laundry and cleaning services, -6 .3 per­cent; hotels and motels, - 5.8 percent; eating and drink­ing places, -5 .5 percent; and new car dealers, -4 .7 percent. All of these industries, except hotels and motels, had output declines in 1979. Productivity fell 0.8 percent in retail food stores as output rose slightly while hours rose even more. On the other hand, produc­tivity rose 0.6 percent in gasoline service stations as hours declined more steeply than output. Productivity increased 0.8 percent in drug stores based on small gains in output and hours.

Long-term trendsAll of the industries presented in this report have

recorded productivity growth over the long term (1947-79 for many of the industries). Among these, the petroleum pipelines industry posted the highest rate, 7.1 percent between 1958 and 1979, because of a large gain in the volume of petroleum products shipped coupled with the continuing utilization of highly automatic equipment. The air transportation industry experienced the second highest rate of productivity growth, 6.9 per­cent annually from 1947 to 1979. This industry had the highest rate of growth in output (12.1 percent per year) over this time period. On the other hand, bus carriers recorded the lowest rate of growth in productivity, only 0.4 percent per year from 1954 to 1979. This low rate of productivity growth reflects low output growth, reduced bus speeds, stable load factors, and only modest tech­nological innovation.

Although the rates of productivity change varied widely among the industries during the 1974-79 period (see chart 1), three-fourths of the industries recorded lower average annual gains in this more recent period than during 1947-74. This experience matches the pro­ductivity record of the economy as a whole. From 1947 to 1974, productivity in the nonfarm business sector grew 2.4 percent per year while from 1974 to 1979 the annual growth rate was only 1.4 percent. The slower growth in productivity among the industries included in this report was associated with less rapid output growth in the later period. Nearly 70 percent of the industries recorded lower output growth rates in the last 5 years than in the earlier period.

There were a few notable exceptions to the falloff in productivity growth in the last few years. The wet corn milling industry, with a 9.0 percent average annual gain, posted the highest growth in productivity during the later period. During the earlier period, productivity in

this industry advanced at an annual rate of 4.4 percent. Rapid growth in the later period was aided by a sharp gain in output for one of the industry’s products, high fructose corn syrup, a sugar substitute. In addition, a number of new plants, utilizing the latest computerized controls, came on line during this period. Other indus­tries with high rates of growth in productivity during the 1974-79 period were the synthetic fibers and the tele­phone communications industries. Productivity ad­vanced at a rate of 7.8 and 7.3 percent, respectively, in these industries. In the synthetic fibers industry, productivity growth was augmented by substantial out­put growth in the late seventies coupled with cost­cutting measures which reduced the number of employee hours. In the telephone communications industry, the accelerated introduction of electronic switching in long­distance service contributed to the growth in produc­tivity.

Among the industries that experienced productivity declines during the 1974-79 period, blended and pre­pared flour dropped the most, down 6.4 percent per year. Steel foundries also experienced a decline, drop­ping 3.1 percent annually. Other industries in which productivity declined during the 1974-79 period were: Coal mining (-2 .5 percent), eating and drinking places (-2 .4 percent), primary aluminum (-1 .1 percent), bus carriers (-0 .9 percent), retail food stores (-0 .9 per­cent), brick and structural clay tile (-0 .3 percent), and gas utilities ( - 0.2 percent). (See table 1.)

New measures

Paper and plastic bags (sic 2643). Productivity rose at an average annual rate of 2.9 percent between 1954 and 1978. This was due to an annual increase in output of4.6 percent and in employee hours of 1.7 percent. The long-term productivity rise resulted primarily from im­proved technologies, especially in plastic bag produc­tion. Comparatively high output rates were induced by expansion in consumer spending on soft goods, the chief market for bags, which improved the industry’s use of staff and equipment.

The long-term trend in productivity has been marked by two distinct phases. Between 1954 and 1967, gains in output per employee hour averaged 2.6 percent per year. From 1967 forward, the rate of gain accelerated, rising to 3.3 percent a year. The acceleration was asso­ciated with intensified and widely diffused mechaniza­tion of work.

Fabricated structural metal (sic 3441). Output per employee hour in the industry rose at an average annual rate of 1.2 percent from 1958 to 1979. This was the result of an average annual increase of 2.2 percent in output and 1.0 percent in employee hours.

Productivity growth has been retarded by increased requirements for quality control, the made-to-order nature of goods produced in the industry, and the lag in adjusting employment to changing output levels. Because of the high skill level of the work force, some employers attempt to retain employees during business downturns. When demand drops, employers tend to make lower bids for work, or bid on smaller jobs than they normally handle. This enables them to continue operating and retain their employees, and to cover some overhead costs in paying for capital equipment. How­ever, this results in productivity declines during cyclical downturns.

The most important new technological development in the industry is the automatic beam line, which has been an important aid to productivity growth. Using the old techniques, beam handling was a time-consuming

and costly process in the shop. The introduction of automatic beam lines eliminated much of this burden. This process has facilitated the use of automatic equip­ment for cutting, punching, drilling, and welding. Usually, the layout of the plant is altered to accom­modate beam handling equipment, which minimizes the number of times and the distances the metal must be moved.

Construction machinery and equipment (sic 3531). Pro­ductivity in the construction machinery industry rose at a 1.9 percent average annual rate between 1958 and 1979. Output increases averaged 4.4 percent per year and employee hour increases 2.5 percent per year during this period. Productivity gains resulted mainly from innovations in machining and welding operations at the industry’s plants, and from improvements in material handling and storage.

This industry, highly dependent on construction industry demand, experienced sharp cyclical swings in output and productivity over the period. In half of the years examined, year-to-year output changes exceeded 10 percent. Changes in productivity ranged from a 10.5 percent decrease to a 9.6 percent increase, with declines occurring in 5 of the 21 years examined.

Ball and roller bearings (sic 3562). Productivity in the ball and roller bearings industry grew at an average an­nual rate of 2.7 percent during 1958-79, slightly less than the 2.8 percent rate for all manufacturing. This rise was associated with average annual increases of 3.5 per­cent in output and 0.8 percent in employee hours. The adoption of electronic control equipment to run produc­tion machinery, coupled with continuing improvements in this machinery, has been an important factor in the industry’s productivity gains.

Productivity changes have displayed great variation from year to year. Annual increases over the period measured ranged from 0.2 percent to 25.4 percent. There were decreases in 6 years. Bearings are used to reduce the friction between moving parts of machines or various types of equipment. Because so many different products have moving parts, the overall market for bearings is very diverse. Consequently, changes in the level of economic activity, particularly in transporta­tion-related industries such as motor vehicles, can cause sharp shifts in output and employee hours. These fluc­tuations have affected short-term productivity move­ments but, over the long term, improvements in produc­tion machinery have resulted in an above-average rate of productivity increase.

Class I bus carriers (p ts of SIC's 4111, 4131, 414). Pro­ductivity advanced slowly during 1954-79—at an average of 0.4 percent a year—reflecting low output growth, reduced bus speeds, and only modest tech­nological innovations such as improved engine designs. The 0.4 percent growth in productivity resulted from a small average annual increase in industry output of 0.1 percent combined with an average annual decline in employee hours of 0.3 percent.

Bus operations have suffered from the recent energy shortages. The 55-mile-per-hour national speed limit has resulted in longer running times between cities. Lower speeds have increased the labor time needed to drive a given distance and have acted to reduce produc­tivity. However, while total travel might be expected to decline as a result of higher fuel costs, the relative fuel efficiency of buses may act to enhance demand for this mode of transportation, especially for shorter distances. In 1974, when the energy crisis started, output in the bus industry increased 8.4 percent and productivity rose 3.7 percent as the bus became an important alternative to the automobile. Again in 1979, gas shortages in the 2nd

quarter helped boost industry output 6.1 percent for the year, and productivity increased 0.4 percent.

The class I regulated bus industry comprises 43 inter­city and 13 local carriers certificated by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The sources of revenue for bus carriers have changed substantially since 1954. Intercity and local passenger revenue has declined in relative terms while charter and package express service has shown significant growth. Charter service has expanded due to the increase in group travel and tourism in general, while package express service has benefited from the large distribution network provided by inter­city buses.

Load factors have changed little since 1954; this helps to explain the low rate of productivity advance experi­enced in the industry. The percent of capacity utilized during this period has remained at about 47 percent. Reduced investment has also affected bus industry pro­ductivity. Since 1954, investment in plant and equip­ment by intercity bus carriers has declined; capital in­vestment per worker fell over 20 percent.

Drug and proprietary stores (SIC 5912). Output per hour of all persons in the drug and proprietary store industry increased at an average annual rate of 4.6 percent from 1958 through 1979, compared with an average of 2.1 percent for the nonfarm business sector of the economy during the same period. The gain in productivity over the 22-year period reflects an average annual increase of4.7 percent in output with virtually no average change in hours of all persons in the industry. For the most recent 6-year period, 1973-79, productivity increased at a slower annual rate—averaging 1.0 percent.

The strong growth in output per hour of all persons has been influenced by a trend toward fewer and larger stores. Large chainstore organizations and groups of stores known as cooperatives and voluntaries have grown to dominate industry sales, while the number of unaffiliated, independently owned, smaller drugstores has declined significantly. Chains have increased the number of stores in high-volume shopping centers and have expanded the number and type of products of­fered. In contrast to independents, chains, cooperatives, and voluntaries can more easily take advantage of tech­nological advances and use better management and marketing techniques.

A number of technological innovations have been in­troduced into drugstore operations. These include elec­tronic price-marking machines and electronic prescrip­tion-filling and -logging machines. Electronic cash registers now tabulate and keep accurate sales and inventory records. Computers are used for bookkeeping operations, data processing, and inventory control. They are also used to forecast seasonal needs in stores and warehouses and to handle the increased paperwork involved in third-party payment plans in prescription departments.

Methods and Data

The indexes o f output per employee hour are com­puted by dividing an index of output by an index of ag­gregate employee 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 employee hours.

The output indexes are based primarily on the physi­cal quantity of the products of the industry combined with fixed period weights. Unit employee hour weights are used whenever possible to aggregate the data.

For many industries, however, unit labor weights are not available at the detailed product level so substitute weights must be used. The most common substitute weights are unit values, which are assumed to be pro­portional to unit employee hours. For many manufac­turing industries, however, employee hour weights at the product-class level can be developed from the avail­able data. In such cases, a dual-level weighting system is used—unit value weights at the product level and unit labor weights at the product-class level.

Although the weights relate to fixed periods, they are updated periodically, usually in conjunction with economic censuses. Thus, most indexes for 1947-58 are based on 1947 weights; for 1958-63, 1958 weights; for 1963-67, 1963 weights; for 1967-72, 1967 weights; and for 1972-79, 1972 weights. For three industries—rail­roads, iron mining, and copper mining—two alternative productivity measures, using different concepts of industry output, are presented.

Beginning in 1978, the productivity and output measures for the steel industry (sic 331) reflect the introduction of 1977 weights and a modification in the methodology used to construct the output measure. Previously, the individual steel mill products were com­bined with relative weights which reflected only those hours required beyond the raw steel or ingot stage of production. The new relative weights reflect all of the employee hours associated with the production of each individual product, not just the hours required beyond the raw steel or ingot stage. The measure is also adjusted for net additions to inventory. The change in meth­odology was necessary because of the increasing use of continuous casting techniques. These techniques eliminate the ingot stage in the production of steel mill products.

Periodically, the output indexes for most of the measures are adjusted to levels based on data reported in the economic censuses for mining, manufacturing, and business. The most current adjustments presented in this report reflect data from the 1972 economic censuses.

Employment and employee hour indexes are developed primarily from basic data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of the Census. In con­cept, indexes based on employee hour data from the Bureau of the Census relate to plant hours only. Em­ployee hour data from b l s 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 employee hour worked would tend to show a somewhat higher rate of gain than output per employee hour paid. However, actual differ­ences may result from statistical limitations in the data as well as from differences in concepts.

Industries for which b l s data are used for the measures of employment and hours have been revised to reflect adjustments to new universe levels. In other in­dustries, the indexes have been revised back to 1977.

This report includes indexes of output per employee hour and output per employee. In most cases, the in­dexes are shown for all employees, production workers, and nonproduction workers.2 Although both b l s and the Bureau of the Census provide data on production worker hours, neither source provides annual data by industry on nonproduction worker or all-employee hours. Therefore, the nonproduction worker hours are estimated.

The estimates of aggregate nonproduction worker hours for the manufacturing industries are derived from published employment data and from estimates of average annual hours paid or worked per nonproduc-

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

2 The term “ production workers’’ covers 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., are identified as “ non­production workers.’’

tion worker. Prior to 1968, the estimates of average an­nual hours paid were calculated by multiplying the number of workweeks in the year by the scheduled weekly hours. Estimated hours for vacations, holidays, disability, and personal time off were subtracted from average annual hours paid to obtain an estimate of average annual hours worked. Vacation and holiday trends were based on studies by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and on data from b l s surveys. Personal time off was estimated as a constant on the basis of data obtained from various sources. Since 1968, the estimates of average annual hours paid and average annual hours worked have been based on data collected in the b l s survey, Employee Compensa­tion in the Private Nonfarm Economy.

For six service industries—retail food stores; gasoline service stations; eating and drinking places; drug stores and proprietary stores; hotels, motels, and tourist courts; and laundry and cleaning services—measures of the hours of partners, proprietors, and supervisory workers were developed. Except for hotels, motels, and tourist courts, estimates were also made for the hours of unpaid family workers. Average weekly hours worked for partners, proprietors, and unpaid family workers were obtained from unpublished data collected in the Current Population Survey. Average weekly hours worked by supervisory employees were obtained from the 1960 and 1970 censuses of population. Estimates for intercensal years were derived using extrapolation and linear interpolation techniques.

All employee hour estimates for the manufacturing industries are derived by summing the aggregate hours for production workers and the estimated hours for nonproduction workers. Hours of all persons are derived by summing the aggregate hours for paid employees, partners, proprietors, and unpaid family workers.

Manufacturing indexes involving nonproduction worker hours are subject to a wider margin of error than

are the indexes involving only production worker hours because it is necessary to estimate the average hours of nonproduction workers. In general, any errors in these estimates, however, would have a relatively insignificant effect on the trend in the hours for all employees.

The output indexes and employee 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 1979 output indexes are based on the data sources that are regularly used. However, for some industries, the normal data sources are not yet available, and other information, such as the Federal Reserve Board output indexes, the Current Industrial Reports of the Bureau of the Census, and trade association data, were used. For those industries using the Bureau of the Census as the primary source of employment and employee hours, the 1979 indexes were developed by linking employment and employee hour data from b l s , since 1979 Census Bureau data are not yet available. Therefore, all 1979 output per employee hour measures are considered preliminary and are subject to revision.

The indexes refer to the standard reference base 1967 = 100 and, beginning in 1972, conform to the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification (sic) definitions.

The average annual rates of change published in this bulletin 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.

More detailed information on the methods, limita­tions, and data sources is contained in the BLS Hand­book o f Methods, Bulletin 1910 (1976), chapter 31, and in a number of individual industry reports. Industry reports as well as additional information are available on request.
