1 SEPTEMBER SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE BUREAU OF FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC COMMERCE WASHINGTON VOLUME 19 NUMBER 9

2 THE INPUSTIIIAL MARKET DATA HANDBOOK OF THE UNITED STATES Domestic Commerce Series No. 17 s $2.5 (Buckram) The Industrial Market Data Handbook contains complete figures on industrial production, employment, value of products, cost of material, fuel and power, and output per wage earner for the 3,7 counties in the United States, and similar data for every city with a population of 1, and over. Included is a tabulation of the county location of 1,111 manufacturing plants by kind of industry. Parallel tables covering the mining industry of the country including a county location table for each of the 23, mines by type of mine is a part of this Handbook. The data described are for the year None of these have been available in such detail and a number are presented for the first time. The Handbook is especially valuable in estimating sizes and locations of markets, potential values of markets, for the establishment or reappraisals of sales territories, setting up sales and production quotas, making market analyses, planning sales and advertising campaigns, and in deciding on channels of distribution likely to be most profitable to the manufacturer. It is of special value to: Manufacturers, industrial marketing men, sales executives, finance companies, purchasing agents, advertising agents, economists, and research groups of universities and colleges. DISTRIBUTION COST ACCOUNTING FOR WHOLESALING Domestic Commerce Series No. 16 :15c a copy This manual contains a complete discussion of distribution cost accounting procedure for wholesaling activities, as well as much valuable information for anyone confronted with a distribution cost problem. Particularly valuable is the information explaining how business records may be analyzed to determine the cost of each merchandising department, each commodity, each customer group, and each territory of sales operation. All methods of cost allocations and expense break-wns used in the handbook have been tested and found satisfactory either by the Department of Commerce or by trade associations and accountants of national recognition. With the advent of recent Federal and State legislation relative to distribution, the subject of distribution cost accounting is receiving the keen attention of executives and others interested in distributive fields. This handbook contains detailed explanations and numerous illustrations. Copies of any of the above publications may be obtained at the price stated from either the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C, or through any of the District and Cooperative Offices of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce located in principal commercial and industrial centers throughout the United States. Full remittance should accompany each order.

5 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS Business Situation Summarized DOMESTIC business volumes in were not materially affected by the threatening European political developments and there was a further moderate improvement during the month. Manufacturing production increased seasonally following the considerable gains in the adjusted index during June and but the drop in crude petroleum output reduced the volume of mineral production. General merchandise trade experienced the usual substantial rise; automobile sales dropped as the model change-overs, which came earlier than usual this year, accentuated the normal decline from. Construction operations continued at the high levels reached in the preceding month and contracts for new projects were little changed from the rate. Business in all major lines continued well in advance of a year ago, though industry and trade, generally, did not match the strides made at this time in when the pick-up from the low point of the recession w^as gaming momentum. Mounting European tension, which arose from the immediate prospect of a general conflict, unsettled financial markets throughout the month. Commodity markets were sensitive in some degree to developments abroad, though, through 31, there was not much change in quotations on products likely to be affected by war demands. However, with the outbreak of actual hostilities between Germany and Poland on 1, quotations of a number of commodities advanced sharply. On that day sizable gains occurred in prices of such staples as wheat, corn, rye, cocoa, sugar, lard, tin, and rubber; there was a small rise in copper quotations and a strengthening in prices of other industrial materials. Though did not bring a repetition of the general curtailment of commitments experienced at the time of the European crisis last spring, purchasing by industrial consumers nevertheless was not so aggressive as in the 2 preceding months which witnessed pronounced buying waves in certain staples. Retailers continued to make commitments based upon expectations of a good fall trade, with wholesale volumes well ahead of last year. Primary distribution of commodities, as indicated by freight traffic, held around the rate with little change indicated for the adjusted index of loadings for. The freight movement continues to exceed last year's volume by about oneeighth. The carriers have also benefited from the increase in summer travel this year; record gasoline consumption and high replacement sales of tires are also a reflection of this trend. Further expansion in activity occurred in a number of manufacturing lines during and, in the aggregate, factory production made the usual increase for this period. Automobile assemblies were at a seasonal low of about 1, units, but by the end of the month a number of plants were turning out 194 models and employment in automotive centers was again rising. Steel ingot production, following the marked improvement during June and, expanded at a more-thanseasonal rate in ; finishing operations increased during the month after lagging in the June- advance. Output of ingots averaged about percent of THOUSANDS OF UNITS 2 VACUUM CLEANERS (Floor Types) 15 I 5 2 I 5 1 Jv V WASHING-MACHINES ELECTRIC REFRIGERATORS !939 J daily capacity as compared with percent in. was higher than in any month since 1937, exceeding output last by a small margin. Other durable-goods industries have maintained or improved their position.

6 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS In the nondurable-goods industries, production this summer has declined less than seasonally expected and, on an adjusted basis, has been as high as at any time since June 1937, excepting last. By reason of the marked rise in some of the nondurable-goods industries a year ago, preliminary indications point to an output but little in excess of that in. Crude-petroleum output was a major exception to the general trend, as State control agencies in the midcontinent fields endeavored to correct a situation which had produced a marked drop in crude quotations. Crude-oil production in the week ended 26 was reduced to an average of 1.7 million barrels daily as compared with the flow of 3.6 million barrels. Refinery operations were not impaired by the lowered flow of crude and, as in, were exceptionally high. There was a seasonal increase in bituminous-coal production in following the advance which in part went to increase industrial stocks. A further rise occurred in generation of electric energy in and production, up 1 percent from, was at a record figure. Sales of Durable Goods Expand While the output of the nondurable-goods industries comprises a larger portion of industrial output than in 1937, when the two major segments approached a parity on a 19 basis, the expansion since the low point a year ago has been larger relatively in the industries producing durable goods. This is the usual situation during periods of fluctuating business activity, but it is of interest to observe the trends in two major groups of durable commodities building materials and durable products for use in the home. The situation in the latter group is typified by the sales of such products as electric refrigerators. The accompanying figure 2 reveals the sales trend of this and two similar commodities. While no correction has been made for the usual seasonal swings in sales, it is apparent that the underlying trend was wnward from the spring of 1937 to the middle of last year, and that sales of electric refrigerators lagged as business generally moved up in the latter half of. So far this year sales of each of these products have advanced to a point considerably higher than the average experience during the corresponding months of. Although automobile sales are not shown in this figure, it may be seen from figure 1 that passenger-car sales experienced a marked upturn with the improvement in general business during the latter half of, and in recent months have made a relatively favorable showing. No current series on furniture and floor covering sales are available for plotting, but the data on these industries indicate that they have followed a pattern not essentially different from the trends indicated in figure 2. With construction activity advancing to a level which compares favorably with the 1937 peak, building materials have gradually moved into trade channels at an increasing rate. Figure 3 presents the comparative movement of 16 series of data during the past 3 years. In general, the pattern in these industries over this period has been the same, but the current position differs to some extent. Prepared roofing shipments stand out because of the increase in. The others indicate improvement since the early part of ; at that time the construction industry experienced a definite turn for the better particularly in the residential field. of brick, portland cement, tile, and oak flooring at the seasonal peak this year equaled or exceeded the 1937 results for the corresponding months. Paint sales were lower, though sales to the distributive trade have been larger than in the comparable months of 1937 since last April. Air-conditioning-equipment manufacturers have experienced a steady rise in sales this year, though the results fell short of those in Oil burners are about on a par with the 1937 sales results. Gains in the durable-goods industries, as compared with a year ago, have not been confined to the groups mentioned above. Of the 43 durable-goods industries, for which the Department of Labor collects data, all but 4 showed pay-roll increases of more than 1 percent between and of this year. Aggregate pay rolls in the durable-goods industries at mid- were nearly a third higher than in, an increase which stands out among the year-to-year changes in labor income in various segments of the economy. For, total compensation of employees, according to the Department of Commerce's estimate, was 6 percent higher than a year ago. The index of total income payments, seasonally adjusted, was unchanged in from the June figure of.5 (19 = 1) but was 2.8 points higher than a year earlier. Foreign Exchanges Decline The kaleiscopic European political events of late were climaxed in the foreign-exchange market by the sharp break in quotations for the pound sterling and the French franc. Growing pressure upon the two currencies as a result of the incessant demand for llars led to the withdrawal of official support at previous market rates as a means of conserving gold and foreign-exchange resources. The pound fell to the lowest levels in 6 years, and the depreciation of the French franc in terms of llars was of a similar degree. During the first 7 months of the year, the net export of gold from the United Kingm exceeded 226,,-, although a portion of this outflow ubtlessly represented a further accumulation of gold reserves abroad by the British Exchange Equalization Fund. The net gain of gold by the United States from foreign

8 6 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS countries reached $1,6,, during the same period. Receipts from abroad during were not spectacularly large; but the amount of gold held under earmark in the United States for foreign account was reduced during each of the 4 weeks ended 3, thus increasing mestic gold stocks, and capacity shipments were reported en route to the United States from Europe at the close of the month. According to official announcements, foreign short-term balances in the United States aggregated $2,6,, on May 31. Gold held under earmark for foreign account was placed at approximately $1,135,, at the end of. Security prices receded during from the closing levels of, despite the relatively favorable corporate earnings records reported. Industrial-stock "averages" fell to within a few points of their June lows. The reductions in the prices of railroad and public utility stocks during were of lesser magnitude. On 1, the stock market withstood the shock of the outbreak of European hostilities and "market averages" held at the levels of the preceding several days. There were, however, considerable fluctuations in prices of various types of shares during the day, with the gains in some securities being offset by declines in others. Bond prices also weakened during. The market for the highest grade issues continued during the Year and month Monthly income payments Total payments Unadjusted Adjusted i Compensation of employees, adjusted i MONTHLY BUSINESS INDEXES Factory employment and pay rolls Number of employees, adjusted i Amount of pay rolls, unadjusted Cash farm income 2 Unadjusted Adjusted i early part of the month to reflect the large volume of funds seeking investment involving a minimum of risk, and the prices of these securities remained firm. Later, the market was unsettled, with prices of government bonds tending to decline. The yields on short-term issues were not changed materially. In the capital market, the volume of corporate financing during exceeded that of, but it was comprised mainly of refunding operations by public utility corporations. The offering of $123,5, of 3/2 and 4% percent debenture bonds by a large public utility corporation was one of the high lights of this market. On 3, the Federal Housing Administration announced a reduction of one-half of 1 percent on mortgages committed for insurance by that agency. The maximum rate of interest on such mortgages was thus placed at 4% percent. A few days later the Home Owners' Loan Corporation reduced from 5 to 4% percent the interest rate on mortgages held by it. Excess reserves of the member banks continued to rise to new high levels during as Treasury disbursements exceeded revenues and the inflow of gold continued. The rise occurred in the face of further increases in the reserve requirements of the banks accompanying the continued growth of their deposits, a reduction in the volume of government securities held by the Federal Reserve Banks, and an increase in the volume of money in circulation.

9 SUEVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS CONFORMING to the usual seasonal tendency, nonagricultural industries employed about the same number of workers in as in June, according to data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The gain over a year ago was maintained at 1,2,, practically the same as in June. The largest change in employment from mid-june to mid- was that recorded for retail-trade establishments which released about 1, workers; this decline, however, was less than that usually experienced during when sales are at a seasonal low point. Anthracite and metal mines reported decreased employment and several of the service industries reported seasonal declines. These losses were offset to a large extent by employment gains in construction, transportation, and public utilities, with the result that aggregate nonagricultural employment was reduced by only 3, workers. These figures not include employees on Work Projects Administration and National Youth Administration projects, or enrollees in the Civilian Conservation Corps. Agricultural employment was seasonally lower during, and the number at work on projects operated by the W. P. A. declined further, largely because of the release of workers who had been employed for a period of 18 months or more. Factory employment was slightly lower in than Year and month Unadjusted Employment in June, but the adjusted index recorded a small increase to 91.7 (13-25 = 1). Pay rolls experienced a somewhat larger decline, partly because of the 4th holiday. The adjusted factory-employment index has fluctuated within a range of about a point and a half so far this year, following the rise in the summer and fall of. However, the index for was about 11 percent above the corresponding month a year ago. For the index of the durable-goods group, the gain over amounted to 17 percent; for the nondurablegoods group the increase was 6 percent. Over the year interval, the unadjusted index of total factory pay rolls recorded a gain of nearly one-fifth, in the durable-goods classification of almost one-third, and in the nondurablegoods group of about one-tenth. Employment gains from June to were reported for 5 of the 87 manufacturing industries, and pay-roll increases were reported for 34 industries. For many industries the employment gains were contraseasonal or larger than seasonal. These embraced aircraft, furniture, radios, men's clothing, cotton goods, book and job printing, and woolen and worsted goods. Declines of contraseasonal, or more than seasonal extent, were reported for the rubber footwear, automobile, agricultural implements, wirework, and electric and steam railroad car-building industries.

10 8 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS Domestic Trade RETAIL sales of general merchandise recorded the customary marked seasonal increase during, according to available weekly reports. Department-store sales in the first 3 weeks of were above those of, on an adjusted basis. If the mid- volume of sales is maintained, the adjusted index for the month will show a small gain over the figure of (13-25 = 1). Automobile sales recorded a further seasonal decline in. The change-over to new models usually marks the season's low for sales, and since the shift this year took place several weeks earlier than usual it is anticipated that sales will also record an early upturn. No marked changes are indicated for sales of other types of retail outlets, after allowance for the usual seasonal increases. In, the total value of retail sales was estimated to be about 1 percent lower than in June. After adjustment for 1 less working day in and for the usual seasonal change, it is probable that daily average sales on a corrected basis were about the same as in June. Total sales were about 7 percent larger than a year ago, as compared with a gain of 9 percent in June. A sample group of nearly 22, independent retailers reported to the Department a relative gain in over a year ago equal to the average for other retail units. As in other recent months the largest increases among these independent stores were reported by dealers in consumer durable goods motor vehicles, Year and month 19: 1932: 1933: 1936: 1937: :. : March April May June.

For the lines of trade covered by the indexes shown in the table below, retail sales in showed only minor changes from June, after allowance for the usual marked midsummer decline. The index of rural sales of general merchandise declined by somewhat more than the usual amount from the relatively high June figure, but the other series showed small increases or remained unchanged. Gains over a year ago narrowed slightly from the June comparisons as in the case of the Department's sample of independent retailers. Nearly 3, wholesalers reported a sales gain of about 6 percent in over the corresponding month a year ago. Increases of from one-fifth to one-third were reported by wholesalers of clothing, metals, furniture and house furnishings, electrical goods, and lumber and building materials, while dealers in hardware, machinery, and shoes reported gains of from 1 to 15 percent. Sales reported by 1, manufacturing firms were one-eighth larger in than a year earlier. Practically all of the reporting industry groups recorded gains over the year interval. Iron and steel and their products were up about 4 percent, machinery about onefourth, and nonferrous metals, forest products, and stone, clay, and glass approximately one-fifth. For several important lines, the trend of manufacturers' sales is depicted in the chart on page 3.

11 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 9 Foreign Trade UNITED STATES foreign trade declined in as compared with June, partly as a result of seasonal influences. Nevertheless, both the export and the import totals were above the values of a year ago. The value of imports has been higher in each month of this year than in the corresponding month of, with the exception of. The export trade was smaller in value through May than in the comparable period of, but in June and the export total was higher than last year. As in the preceding months of this year, merchandise exports in were larger in value than merchandise imports, though by not so large a margin as last year. The export balance for the 7 months ending with, of $382,,, though only slightly more than half the figure recorded for the first 7 months of, was none the less a large balance for this period of the year. The decline in the balance of merchandise exports in comparison with last year has resulted in part from the increased import trade this year, principally in crude materials and semimanufactures. The value of total imports for consumption was 15 percent higher in than in last year; crude materials and semimanufactures increased 19 percent. This expansion in the value of materials for mestic industries was approximately the same as the relative increase in the estimated value of industrial production in this country over the same period. Although total exports in were above those of a Year and month 19: 1932: 1933:. 1936: 1937: : : March April May June Cumulative through : _...

The decline of $12,, in exports of grains and preparations to a value of $,8, in the first 7 months of this year, and the reduction in raw-cotton exports from a value of $129,4, to $74,4, account for a substantial portion of the decrease of $173,, in the value of total exports in the first 7 months of this year as compared with the corresponding months of. The lower level of prices also has been a contributing factor in the reduced value of export trade this year. Exports of manufactured products (including semimanufactures) advanced in above the total of the corresponding month of by a wider margin than in May and June when the trade in these articles began to rise above the declining totals of last year. shipments of these two economic classes amounting to $177,351,, an increase of 15 percent over the figure of $1,58, last, brought the cumulative total for the 7-month period above the figure for the corresponding period of. Exports of manufactured foodstuffs, which were larger in value in the first half of this year than a year ago, principally because of increased shipments of packing-house products, also showed an increase in.

12 1 SUKVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS Construction and Real Estate BUILDING construction continued active during with operations much higher than a year ago. No basic change has occurred in the trends which were detailed in the review published in last month's issue. In the first 3 weeks of, the value of construction contracts awarded in the area covered by the Dodge reporting service declined slightly from the daily rate. The reduction occurred in privately owned work as public projects were above the daily average. Awards were one-fourth larger than in the corresponding weeks of. Total awards for the month, however, may be little changed from the total last since a large volume of contracts under the Public Works program was let in the final days of. From the beginning of to the middle of, total construction awards amounted to $441,-,, a gain of nearly 28 percent over the corresponding period of, according to the F. W. Dodge Corporation. Kesidential building awards for the same period were up more than one-fourth, nonresidential building and public works, respectively, were 16 and 29 percent larger, while public utilities ubled in value of awards. With the expansion in operations of the United States Housing Administration, about 11 percent of all Year and month residential awards in the first 7 months of the year were publicly financed as compared with only 2 percent in the corresponding period of. A somewhat larger proportion of nonresidential awards has been publicly financed this year than last, although privately financed construction has continued to account for more than one-half of all such work. For the public works and utilities classifications, all but about 11 percent of the work has been under public ownership this year, or almost as large a proportion as in. The Federal Housing Administration, reporting on operations during its first 5 years, revealed that it had transacted a gross volume of business amounting to approximately 4 billion llars, including rejections and withdrawals amounting to about $7,,. Through June 3,, the insurance of home mortgages under Title II of the National Housing Act accounted for $1,9,29,. Under Title I of this Act private lending institutions advanced $9,56, in property improvement loans, and under the rentalhousing phase of the program, 313 mortgages totaling $126,3, had been accepted for insurance. Additional applications for insurance amounted to over one billion llars, of which $231,94, represented mortgages still in process, and $23,, mortgages expired. The balance comprised rejections and withdrawals prior to insurance.

Engle, Assistant Director, Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce THE estimates of aggregate value and physical volume of goods marketed at wholesale in the United States, which first appeared in the May 1936 issue of the SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS, have been brought wn through, and revised for the years since 19. These estimates represent an attempt to take the measure of the merchandise stream at the one point where the values of the components are all on as nearly the same plane as possible. This point is f. o. b. place of production or port of importation (duties have been added to the declared import values in the accompanying tabulation) and therefore measures the value of the merchandise just as it enters wholesale distribution channels in the United States. This revision and extension has been made to accommodate users of these figures who have requested from time to time more recent data. The total value of goods marketed at wholesale amounted to nearly 84 billion llars in 19. The following years witnessed successive contraction to 35.3 billion llars in 1932, the low point of the depression. The turn came in 1933, which was nearly 2 billion llars better than Steady improvement continued through 1937, when the total reached 72.6 billion llars. The recession of reduced the figure for that year to but little more than 6 billion llars. The actual physical flow of merchandise into wholesale channels did not fluctuate so widely as did the value of the merchandise because of the changes in wholesale prices. Thus, the drop in the volume of goods sold between 19 and 1932 was but 38 percent, while the value fell 58 percent. The recovery since 1932 carried the physical volume up to 95.5 percent of the 19 high, although the llar value reached but.5 percent of the 19 level. Again the recession was much less severe when measured by price deflated figures, the physical volume index dropping but 9 percent from 1937 as compared with a loss of 17 percent in the value index. The explanation, of course, lies in the fact that wholesale prices change frequently and fluctuate widely, thus coloring llar value figures with their own characteristics. The actual volume flow is apt to be much steadier, a fact which the deflated value index reveals. The Wholesaling Concept It will be recalled that these estimates constitute an attempt to measure the volume of wholesale trade quantitatively at the point where it first enters the channels of distribution in the United States. Wholesaling, according to Beckman and Engle, " Wholesaling, Princip^s and Practice," p. 25, "includes all marketing transactions in which the purchaser is actuated solely by a profit or business motive in making the purchase." Attempts to measure wholesaling on the basis of this definition are difficult, since inadequate data are available. The measure included in these estimates taps the stream of wholesaling at its source, where the component items are on a more nearly comparable basis, with less duplication than elsewhere. On this basis the total volume in 19 w r as.9 billion llars. In the same year, the Census Bureau reported a total volume of wholesale trade conducted by specialized wholesale establishments amounting to billion llars. The total volume of wholesale transactions or turn-over amounted to 139 billion llars in 19, a figure which includes much duplication. Finally the very narrow field of wholesale trade conducted by merchant wholesalers with warehouses, salesmen, and full lines of merchandise, amounted to but 29.2 billion llars in 19. (See chs. 2 and 6, abovementioned book.) All of these estimates have validity for certain purposes. The estimate used in the SURVEY and brought wn to date is the only one available for a long series of years. It is probably of greater utility as a basis for computing an index than for the llar volume estimates.

14 12 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS Financial Aspects of Unemployment Compensation Experience By Louis Levine and E. R. Lerner, Division of Research and Statistics, Bureau of Employment Security, Social Security Board THE widespread public interest in unemployment compensation experience of the Federal-State system was reflected in two points of view which were expressed during the recent Congressional hearings. The Special Senate Committee on Unemployment and Relief evidenced interest as to the adequacy of unemployment compensation benefits both with regard to amount and duration and the relation of the unemployment compensation program to other programs affecting unemployed workers. Its proposals were directed toward liberalizing benefits by shortening the waiting period, increasing the weekly benefit amount, and lengthening the duration of benefits, through the establishment of minimum standards in Federal legislation. The Social Security Act es not now prescribe standards for the States relating to various elements of the benefit formula. In the House Ways and Means Committee and the PER CENT 3 25 TOTAL UNEMPLOYMENT AMOUNT OF BENEFIT CHECK AMOUNT OF BENEFIT CHECK PARTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT Figure 4. Distribution of Number of Benefits for Total and Partial Unemployment, by Amount of Benefit Check, April-June. Senate Finance Committee, study was given to the size of unemployment compensation reserves accumulating to the credit of individual States, with a consequent pressure for a general reduction in contribution rates. Table 1 summarizes the financial experience by States as of June 3,. Although most existing State legislation provides for varying individual employer contribution rates (experience rating) in accordance with past employment experience, adjustments of such rates cannot become effective in most States for several years because of requirements in the Federal act. Aside from these provisions, any State-wide reductions in contribution rates would, because of the Federal tax-offset provisions, result in no net reduction in contribution payments made by subject employers. Since the employer is required to pay the difference between the State contribution rate and the 3-percent Federal tax to the Federal Government, merely a larger proportion of the Federal tax would flow into the Bureau of Internal Revenue. The considerations relating to liberalization of the benefit provisions on the one hand and reduction in contribution rates on the other, resulted in the proposal of the so-called Massachusetts or McCormack Plan to the House Ways and Means Committee, which was incorporated in H. R.. This plan made State-wide reduction in contribution rates possible by allowing additional credit in tax-offset provisions of the Federal Act. As a prerequisite to State-wide rate reductions, a State must have accumulated a reserve equivalent to IK times its largest annual contributions or benefit payments, whichever was higher in the preceding 1 years, and at the same time have met certain minimum standards for benefit provisions relating to waiting period, amount and duration of benefits, and partial unemployment benefits. The proposals regarding the establishment of minimum benefit standards in the Federal act as a condition to additional credit under the tax-offset provisions if State contribution rates were reduced, represented a new approach to the problem of financing unemployment compensation. Although the Massachusetts plan was not enacted, the conference committee's report stated that a comprehensive study of the subject matter should be undertaken. The proposal to limit unemployment compensation contributions to the first $3, of annual wages was enacted. This limitation, already in effect in old-age insurance, provides a uniform tax base for both social insurance programs insofar as coverage is the same.

15 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS 13 It is estimated that this new limitation, if apted by all States, would result in savings to employers and a reduction in unemployment compensation revenues of approximately $,,, or about 7.5 percent of total annual contributions. The Federal-State program of unemployment compensation, coordinated with employment service facilities, is the permanent Federal program aimed at meeting the problem of intermittent unemployment. Consequently, the unemployment compensation program Table 1.

16 14 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS should be viewed as a long-range approach to the unemployment problem with regard to present needs and future obligations. This consideration, perhaps more than any other, led the Social Security Board to point out that unemployment compensation experience was so limited as to provide no satisfactory basis for reducing contribution rates, especially when increasing recognition of the need for more adequate benefits is becoming widespread. 1 Unlike many other forms of social insurance, unemployment compensation is highly dynamic, because it must be adjusted to a changing labor market in which sharp employment fluctuations occur within relatively brief periods of time. Since the unemployment risk is current, the necessity for providing a reserve against the time when the unemployment fund will experience severe drains has never been questioned. The unemployment compensation reserve fund is regarded as a contingency reserve to meet the impact of unemployment during periods of declining business without having to reduce benefit payments or increase current contribution rates. This view of the unemployment compensation reserve explains the provisions in the Federal act which required that contributions be collected for 2 years before benefit payments were inaugurated. If the concept of the unemployment compensation reserve is sound, it may be questioned 1 Figure 4 shows the distribution of weekly benefit amounts. whether the financial structure of unemployment compensation should be greatly modified before experience extending over a period equivalent to that comprehended by the business cycle is accumulated. When, in addition to the need for a reserve, account is taken of the wide diversity in economic resources and patterns of employment among the several States, the desirability of a cautious approach to general wnward revisions of contribution rates becomes even more evident. In this connection, a review of the brief history of the unemployment compensation system is illuminating. By the middle of 1937, all States, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, and Alaska had enacted unemployment compensation laws, but only Wisconsin, which had begun benefit payments in 1936, had experience with both contribution collections and benefit payments. Not until, when benefits became payable in 22 additional States, did the comprehensive unemployment compensation program begin to get underway. Other States entered the benefit-paying group at different times during, so that by the close of the year 31 jurisdictions were paying benefits. In, 18 others began paying benefits. Illinois and Montana, the remaining 2 States, began in. The financial experience in unemployment compensation can be examined best by analyzing the records of 23 States which have paid benefits for at least 18 months.

At the close of 1937, these States 2 had approximately $45,, available for benefits with over half of this amount credited to 3 States California, New York, and Pennsylvania. Table 2 lists the States and the amount of funds available for benefits in each, prior to 1,. Except for relatively small amounts in transit or on deposit in State clearing accounts, practically all of these funds had been deposited with the United States Treasury in the unemployment trust fund to the credit of the respective State unemployment compensation agencies.

If all States had paid benefits throughout the year, it is estimated that an additional $225,, would have been paid out even on the basis of the incomplete period of earnings. Moreover, it is not improbable that if certain States lacking diversified industries had paid benefits throughout the year, their funds would have been almost depleted. During the first 6 months of, the 23 States paid out approximately $176,,, or an average of about $29,4, per month. 3 Payments by these States States paying benefits as of Funds available for benefits as of Dec. 31, 1937 Dec. 31, June 3, MILLIONS OF DOLLARS 51 Total _.

The decline in employment during the latter half of 1937 was one of the sharpest experienced in this country, with the volume of unemployment still increasing when benefits first became payable in. More than 2 million claims were filed during the first month, and with employment opportunities restricted, many unemployed workers were destined to draw benefits until their wage credits were exhausted. It was subsequently contended, therefore, since unemployment compensation funds remained solvent despite the severe drains, that some consideration might reasonably be given to a reduction in the contribution rates. In this connection, there is a tendency to overlook the fact that benefits paid in did not represent what the benefits would have been in that year if all States had been paying benefits and if the employees covered by the State laws had had complete employment experience to have established their full benefit rights. No accurate estimate can be made of the in- 2 Wisconsin by the end of 1937 had paid out about $2,2, in benefits. 125 IOO 25 March June Sept. V777A Contributions Dec. March June Benefits Figure 6.

The data on contributions collected represent the amounts the States have collected from employers and employees.

In some of these States, however especially in Maine, Rhode Island, 4 Utah, and West Virginia, where a few industries determine the State employment pattern severe drains were made on the funds. (See figure 7 showing the cumulative experience of West Virginia.) Current disbursements of benefits far exceeded current collection of contributions in these States. Maine paid out $2.7; Rhode Island, $1.; Utah, $1.87; and West Virginia, $1.84 for each $1 in contributions received during this period. By the end of June funds available for benefits in these 4 States had been reduced to between and 75 percent of the reserves wlrieh had been accumulated prior to the initiation of benefit payments.

(See figure 7, showing the Texas experience.) In the second half of, the drain on funds was somewhat reduced, with payments by the 23 States averaging about $26,, per month, as compared with $29,4, in the first 6 months of. Part of the decline was attributable to partial suspension of 5 The full employer contribution rate of 2.7 percent did not go into effect until. These States had employer contribution rates of.9 and 1.8 percent of pay rolls for 1936 and 1937, respectively. In Rhode Island, the contributions of both employers and employees were equivalent to 2.8 and 4.2 percent of pay rolls for the years 1937 and, respectively. payments in New York, pending clarification of administrative procedures. The major reasons underlying the reduction in benefit payments, however, w^ere the exhaustion of wage credits by workers who had drawn the maximum amounts allowed under the State laws, and the reemployment of claimants during the fall improvement in business activity. An instance reflecting a rapid decline in reserves is afforded by Michigan, which began to pay benefits in. In that State, despite the expansion of production in its major industries, benefit payments far exceeded contributions, with nearly $3 in benefits being paid for each $1 in contributions received during the latter half of. 6 By the end of, Michigan's reserve had been reduced about 4 percent, or, expressing this another way, 5 months of benefit payments approximated over half of the collections made at the graduated contribution rates for a 33-month period. Other States in which the reserve at the end of was 1 percent or more below the amount of funds available when benefit payments first began w^ere Rhode Island, 7 West Virginia, Alabama, 7 Indiana, Maine, and Utah. Substantial increases in reserves, on the other hand, had been accumulated by the close of the year in the District of Columbia, Louisiana, 7 New York, Texas, Vermont, and California. 7 Benefit payments by the 31 benefit-paying States during totaled more than $394,,. Of this amount, $332,5, was accounted for by the 23 States in which benefits were paid throughout. In these States, 74 cents in benefits was paid for each $1 in contributions currently received. The States initiating benefit operations in began under conditions quite different from those prevailing in. Employment w^as at a higher level, procedures had been worked out carefully on the basis of the experience of earlier benefit-paying States, and personnel had been better trained. Aggregate payments for the 49 benefit-paying jurisdictions during the first 6 months of totaled $229,1, with monthly payments averaging $38,2,. The 18 new jurisdictions accounted for 33 percent of the total paid out during the first half of this year. In all, about cents was paid out for each $1 in contributions collected during this period. Benefit payments for the group of 23 States during the first half of continued at the same level as in the last half of. Improving employment conditions during the first half of are reflected in table 3, which shows changes in the status of funds of the 49 benefit-paying jurisdictions for the first 6 months of the year. Idaho was the only State in which the funds available for benefits 6 The ratio was somewhat inflated because Michigan shifted to a quarterly collection basis on 1,. During the period -, therefore, contributions w T ere collected on pay rolls for June through in addition to some delinquent receipts, but no contributions were received on fourth-quarter pay rolls until. The ratio is therefore based on 5 months of payments (only a negligible volume of payments being made in ), and more than 4 months of collections. 7 These States had employee contributions.

On the other hand, Rhode Island and West Virginia, which had drawn on reserves rather heavily in, increased their reserves throughout the period, and by the end of June the total was within 5 percent of the reserve available when benefits first became payable. In Maine, however, little recovery from the drain on reserves occurred. In the year and a half ended June 3,, during Table 3.

About $236,, of the total was paid in two States New York and Pennsylvania. Despite this necessarily limited analysis of the brief unemployment compensation experience, several observations having a bearing on considerations relating to modification of the financial structure may be made. The extreme differences in the financial drains within the same period clearly indicate that the problem of the unemployment compensation reserve can be solved only by careful analysis of the labor market and employment pattern of the area to which an unemployment compensation plan applies. (See table 4, which gives a comparison of receipts and payments.) Since the reserve is determined by the inflow of funds (contribution rate related to pay rolls) as compared with disbursements in the form of benefit payments (related to levels and trends of unemployment), any modification of the financial structure must give consideration to both influences. The differences among the States in the condition of their reserves after a year and a half of benefit experience bear a close relation to fluctuation in employment and earnings of workers in those States. Benefit payments in the first few months of were frequently made to workers who had become unemployed during the latter months of 1937 and had failed to be reemployed. Consequently, it is difficult to draw an exact relation between employment fluctuations and benefit payments during this period. The initial stages of benefit payments are always influenced by a backlog of unemployment already accumulated. Unfortunately, adequate employment and pay-roll data by industries and by States for purposes of this analysis are not now available for an extended period. As part of the information needed in connection with administration of unemployment compensation laws, the State agencies have been obtaining these data from subject employers. The Social Security Board has provided in its statistical reporting program for the collection, tabulation, and analyses of these employment and pay-roll data. This information is now available by months for from almost all States. An examination of these reports reveals wide variations in the stability of employment among the States during. Those States which added large increments to their reserves during the period of benefit payments were also the States where the declines in employment were least marked. During the first half of, for example, employment in the District of Columbia, California, Louisiana, and Texas remained at relatively high levels. It is quite probable that were data available for a longer period, such slight declines as did occur would be found to be essentially seasonal in character. In contrast to this experience, steady declines in employment occurred from the already greatly reduced levels reached at the close of 1937 in the States confronted with severe drains on reserves. Furthermore, while fairly sharp State-wide reductions were registered in many instances during the first half of, the declines in some of the major industries were somewhat more pronounced. In Rhode Island, for example, average employment during the first 6 months of was 2 percent lower than for the corresponding period of Employment in textile mills in, however, representing nearly a third of total employment in the State, was,

20 18 SURVEY OF CURRENT BUSINESS during the first 6 months of, 24 percent below the monthly average for The decline in the level of employment would be even more sharply emphasized, if comparison could be made with the first half of 1937 for which data are not available. In Maine, over half of the employment is concentrated in manufacturing, which is minated by the textile, paper, and shoe industries. These groups comprised about 4 percent of total employment in this State. Employment in textile and paper declined almost continuously throughout the first 6 months of, the average for the last 3 months representing a decrease of 14 percent from. Although the shoe industry showed a relatively sharp pick-up in the spring months, employment in this industry had receded to the low point for the 6 months, by June. The Utah experience reflected mainly the steady reduction of employment in the metal mines and in the railroad industry. The level of employment in metal mining during the first half of was 15 percent below the corresponding period in In West Virginia, the pattern of employment is minated by bituminous mining, chemicals, stone, clay, and glass, and the iron and steel industries, these groups comprising over half of the employment in the State. Rather sharp reductions in employment occurred in these groups in the fourth quarter of 1937, but decreases were most pronounced during the first half of. Employment in the bituminous-coal industry was nearly 14 percent lower than in the first half of 1937; in chemicals, 34 percent lower; in stone, clay, and glass, 26 percent lower; and in iron and steel the decrease amounted to nearly 17 percent. Wage losses were even more pronounced, particularly in the coal, iron, and steel industries, where spread-work programs had been developed, wliich accounted for a considerable volume of benefits for partial unemployment. In State systems of unemployment compensation, therefore, the size of the reserve must be determined by the character of the employment pattern in a given State. This approach clearly indicates that certain States with stable or expanding employment may look forward to a reduction in contribution rates, but only if provisions for adequate benefit payments have been made. In other States the present 2.7 percent of pay rolls may prove to be inadequate to meet the drains resulting from sharp and frequent fluctuations in employment, especially if industrial diversification is lacking and if benefit payments are liberalized. A plan which permits variations in contribution rates among the several States gives rise to a serious difficulty in that it may develop competitive disadvantages between States and industries and so destroy the major objective of the tax-offset device. An equally important consideration is that such a plan tends to perpetuate existing benefit standards, if not to lower them, so that rigidities are introduced in a system which should be characterized by flexibility. Finally, such a plan makes difficult the establishment of some kind of broad equalization or reinsurance scheme to assure the continuation of benefit payments in States where severe unemployment, occurring during certain phases of the business cycle, might quickly exhaust the fund which had been accumulated to meet just such an emergency. Indeed it may be contended that a prerequisite to reduction in contribution rates might well be the creation of an equalization fund for reinforcing the solvency of State systems. Table 4.
