3 The Labor Market in Mid- DEMANDS FOR LABOR have strengthened this spring along with the rapid recovery in economic activity. Nonfarm employment has increased considerably from its March low. In manufacturing, the average workweek has been lengthening since the turn of the year. Aggregate wage salary payments turned upward in March rose to a new high in. The unemployment rate has changed little this year, but improvement in this rate typically lags recovery in output employment. The cyclical decline in nonfarm employment in 0-, like that in total output, was smaller than in any preceding postwar recession. Layoffs reductions in the workweek were concentrated among production maintenance workers in industrial activities. In addition to the reductions arising from cyclical forces, there has been a persistent weakness in employment in these occupations in recent years. In contrast, dems for workers in professional, managerial, service, clerical occupations have been generally strong even during recession periods. Employment in these occupational groups advanced to record levels this spring. Unemployment, seasonally adjusted, increased from about per cent of the civilian labor force in 0 to just under per cent in ember has since remained near that level. During the rate rose from about per cent to a postwar high of. per cent. It reached this high in, while economic activity reached its low in il. UNEMPLOYMENT RATE NOTE. Bureau of Labor Statistics data, seasonally adjusted. Unemployment rate is the percentage of the civilian labor force unemployed. Latest figure shown,. Numerous factors, in addition to die vigor duration of cyclical recovery expansion in economic activity, will affect the course of unemployment. These include the extent of productivity gains, the size composition of increases in the labor force, changes in hours of work, the ability of the economy to absorb into productive activity displaced workers who have been unemployed for a relatively long time. The layoffs in industrial activities have brought into the labor market considerable numbers of unskilled semiskilled workers in many urban areas. Many of these workers do not have the skills, education, training required in new exping activities. Moreover, many of those attached to industries of declining employment opportunities or located in areas of

4 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN JUNE limited alternative prospects are middleaged workers with families. Their geographic mobility is often impeded by strong attachments in their communities. The labor force has shown a sizable further expansion over the past year, this has contributed to the higher levels of unemployment. Growth in the labor force has stemmed largely from the steadily increasing number of women in the labor force. In recent years the work force also has begun to reflect the high birth rates of the 0's. The number relative importance of young workers of women in the labor force are expected to continue to increase in the years immediately ahead. RECENT EXPANSION IN EMPLOYMENT Employment gains this spring have reflected increased consumer purchases of autos, exped construction activity, larger government outlays, the ending of inventory liquidation. By the number employed in nonfarm establishments had risen to. million, seasonally adjusted, 00,000 more than at the low in March, but still 00,000 less than at its cyclical high in 0. Hours of work in factories, which generally lead changes in output employment, have been increasing since the beginning of the year. The average workweek in was slightly under 0 hours, after allowance for seasonal influences. Employment turned up in manufacturing in March, most industries have been hiring more people in recent months. The largest increases have been in steel, autos, other durable goods activities in which the preceding declines had been centered. Employment in nondurable goods lines, which declined little during the recession, has shown moderate but widespread gains since winter. From ruary to total manufacturing employment increased by nearly 0, This was one-third of its preceding cyclical decline compares with a recovery of about three-fourths in manufacturing output. As is typical of the early stages of recovery, part of the initial increase in output has reflected a lengthening of the workweek rapid gains in productivity. In a few industries chemicals, printing, ordnance employment in surpassed the level of a year earlier. Construction employment, which had been adversely affected by a severe winter, responded rapidly to improved activity early this spring.

5 THE LABOR MARKET IN MID- dustries the pick-up in employment has been slow, employment possibilities continue to be limited. In the nonindustrial sector, requirements for labor continue strong, paced by expansion in services, finance, State local governments. Employment in most of these activities was at or near record levels in. In the nine months 0-March, total nonfarm employment declined. million, or. per cent, whereas in the similar period in - it had declined. per cent. Manufacturing employment, which accounted for most of the decline in both recessions, also declined about onehalf as much as in the earlier period, as may be seen on the chart. Men are the predominant part of the work force in industries hardest hit by recession, there were fewer men at work in than a year earlier. Among women, in contrast, nonfarm employment was higher than a year earlier. Employment continued to rise during the recession in almost every occupational group in which women hold a high proportion of jobs. UNEMPLOYMENT The unemployment rate, at. per cent in, seasonally adjusted, changed little during the first five months of this year, after reaching a cyclical high at the end of 0. In,. million persons were unemployed, 0,000 fewer than in but. million more than in 0. Unemployment experience differs among occupational groups, even in periods of high activity. These differences tend to be accentuated during cyclical declines. In blue collar workers accounted for two-fifths of total employment but for three-fifths of unemployment. Professional, managerial, sales, clerical workers accounted for nearly one-half of the employed work force but for only one-fifth of the unemployed. Although total unemployment, seasonally adjusted, has been stable this year, the number unemployed for long periods has continued to increase, as it usually does in the early stages of recovery. Seasonally adjusted data for indicate that. million persons, or one-third of the total, had been looking for work for weeks or longer. COMPOSITION OF THE LABOR FORCE =00 no ino 0 MALES, 0 YEAR!

In of this year about onehalf of the unemployed had been out of work 0 weeks or less. A high proportion of the long-term unemployed are middle-aged or older workers previously engaged in manual occupations. The incidence of long duration unemployment is high among nonwhite workers. The average duration of unemployment among youths women has been relatively short, even though their over-all unemployment rate has recently been high. In, unemployment rates for women were about as high as in, while rates for men were lower. In the recent downturn, unemployment rates for men increased about as much as those for women, as may be seen from the chart. In - the rates rose more sharply for men. The difference in experience is attributable mainly to the more moderate decline in industrial activities in the recent recession. Despite the increase in employment since March, the supply of labor is still high relative to dem in most urban areas. In more than three-fifths of the 0 major labor market areas in the country were classified as having a substantial labor surplus, that is, with unemployment equal to per cent or more of the labor force. Unemployment rates are highest in mining areas in centers producing hard goods, especially steel autos. The rate is per cent or higher in 0 areas, including such major ones as South Bend, Detroit, Scranton, Wheeling, Pittsburgh, Buffalo. In contrast, the rate is below per cent in areas, including New York, Boston, Atlanta, Denver, Washington, D. C. The Area Redevelopment Act enacted in provides $00 million of Federal loans, for use over the next four years, to urban communities with severe protracted unemployment problems to rural areas with high proportions of low-income families. It also provides direct grants of $0 million for public works other purposes, including the retraining of unemployed workers. LABOR INCOME wage salary disbursements have been rising since ruary. In, at an annual rate of $ billion, they were slightly above the earlier high reached last summer. Since then, moderate but widespread increases in wage salary rates have added more to aggregate labor income than was lost by reductions in employment hours. The cyclical decline in disbursements, from peak to trough, amounted to $ billion, or. per cent. This was the smallest decline of any postwar recession, it was confined mainly to the commodity producing industries. Unemployment compensation other transfer payments are sharply higher than last summer. In such payments were at an annual rate $. billion larger than in 0. The increase in such payments reflects in part a temporary program that began in il. This program, which will expire in mid-, extends payments up to a maximum of additional weeks for unemployed workers who exhausted benefits after June 0, 0. Early in June about 0,000 unemployed workers were receiving benefits under the temporary program. million under regular programs. Hourly weekly earnings. Wage rates advanced more slowly selectively over the past year than they had earlier. This slackening reflected the combined influence

7 THE LABOR MARKET IN MID- of the recession of a tendency in recent years toward smaller wage increases in both manufacturing nonmanufacturing activities, as may be seen on the chart. The slower rate of increase in wages has been most marked in mining railroads. In construction hourly earnings have continued to rise almost as rapidly as before. After allowance for a slower rate of advance in consumer prices, the purchasing power of hourly wages in manufacturing increased on the average about as much per annum from the spring of to the spring of as over the preceding four years. Since the recession low in, average wage salary rates in manufacturing have increased about in line with gains in output per manhour. Labor costs per unit of output, including continued increases in costs of fringe benefits, are not much different from those in early. This has been one element in the relative stability of industrial prices in recent years. In contrast, both prices labor costs had increased significantly during the four years of the preceding cycle. Average weekly earnings in manufacturing tended to drift down during most of 0 as increases in wage rates were not sufficient to offset shorter workweeks, curtailment of overtime other premium payments, a concentration of layoffs in the higher paying durable goods industries. In recent months the workweek employment have increased hourly earnings have also risen, with resultant increases in weekly earnings. In such earnings, at $., were per cent higher than a year earlier, average hourly earnings, at $., were per cent higher. Over the past year hours have been maintained in most nonmanufacturing sectors. Earnings have risen in virtually all such activities except bituminous coal mining. Hourly earnings in averaged from to per cent higher than a year earlier for trade, communications, construction, utilities.

Under contracts negotiated before, about million workers in steel, aircraft, metal fabricating, trucking, construction have received, or J L

8 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN JUNE will receive later this year, hourly wage increases of widely varying amounts. Contract negotiations are under way or are scheduled for later in in such major industries as automobiles, machinery, apparel, communications. Recent labor-management negotiations have emphasized problems of job security. This emphasis reflects not only the recession but also the longer run tendency toward reductions in the number of jobs for production maintenance workers. Committees have been established in the steel railroad industries to study the problems involved in adjusting work rules also the general problem of workers displaced by technological advance. A number of major contracts have included provisions for severance pay, for retraining, for moving workers to other company plants. Another important tendency has been to eliminate or modify cost-of-living escalator clauses. The number of workers covered by escalator clauses declined from a high of. million in to about. million at the beginning of. Escalator payments have been sharply limited in the steel, aluminum, metal container manufacturing industries. In the railroad industry in contracts with major electrical equipment companies, they have been eliminated. LABOR FORCE TRENDS AND PROSPECTS From to 0 the average annual increase in the labor force was 00,000, but growth is expected to be more rapid over the next five years. The labor force increased by 00,000 in 0, it is expected to rise by about. million this year by. million in. The age-sex composition of the labor force is likely to undergo further significant change over the next five years. Increases are anticipated in the proportions of women younger persons in the total labor force. On the other h, changes in the size of the male group years of age over will be small: some increase will occur in the - year age span as the chart shows, but the - age group will change little. The occupational composition of the labor force has undergone a dramatic shift in recent years. The number of jobs available to unskilled semiskilled manual workers has declined, but opportunities have exped steadily in white collar occupations. Expansion has been spectacular in research development has been substantial in trade, education, health, business financial services. These trends are likely to continue. Women. During the past five years the labor force has increased by million. Women aged over accounted for about million younger women for about million of the total growth. These two groups now represent one-third of the total labor force. Women also accounted for a large part of the increase in total employment from to 0. On the dem side, employment opportunities have exped rapidly in occupations for which women are well suited in part-time work. In addition, there has been a growing acceptance of women in a wide range of professional technical occupations. On the supply side, the increasing proportion of women in the labor force is largely attributable to rising average educational attainment of women, increased social acceptance of wives as secondary wage earners, the increasing number of women whose children have reached school age. Mechanization of many household chores

9 THE LABOR MARKET IN MID- has also given many women more time to spend outside the home. Desires for higher stards of living have induced many women to seek employment, their earnings have become increasingly important as a supplement to family income. About million women years of age over are expected to come into the labor force in the next five years, about the same number as from to 0. This will represent a smaller proportion of the projected increase in the total labor force, however, largely because of the increasing importance of younger workers. Younger workers. After a small decline in the first half of the 0's, the number of workers (male female) under years of age has been exping. In 0 there were. million more workers in this age group than in. Youths with appropriate skills education, especially those with college training, have had little difficulty finding full-time employment. Many others, however, are inexperienced lack seniority or adequate skills. Many younger job seekers are in school want only parttime or seasonal employment. Typically, unemployment rates are higher for young persons than for any other age group in the labor force. During the next five years. million younger workers will probably be added to the labor force, about one-half of the anticipated increase in the total. About the middle of this decade large numbers of young persons will reach post-high-school age a high proportion of them will enter the labor force. In mid-0 there were. million persons in the year old group in the population. By there will be an estimated. million, in,. million. About 0 per cent of the males LABOR FORCE GROWTH ons of perso NOTE.

10 Revisions for Weekly Reporting Banks BEGINNING with the data for il,, the weekly series of statistics reported by member banks in f leading cities reflects revisions in the classification of deposits an increase in the coverage of the series. Changes in the deposits classification were made largely to measure amounts due to foreign entities the amounts of savings accounts. The changes in coverage, which increased total assets by approximately $. billion, were to eliminate adjustments that had been made in the series since,. These adjustments were made to prevent distortions that would otherwise have resulted from mergers of nonreporting banks with reporting banks. The increased coverage is being carried back to,, the date of the previous revision in the series, data for the period, -il,, will be published in a forthcoming BULLETIN. Figures for the revised classification of deposits will not be available for dates before il,. DEPOSITS The form for reporting deposits was revised to provide the following new items: () dem deposits due to mutual savings banks, () savings deposits in the time deposit category, () for both dem time deposits, several items classified as foreign, chiefly amounts due to foreign governments official institutions, central banks, international institutions. Items in group, together with deposits of foreign banks, make up the new "foreign" category that is available for both dem time deposits. Postal savings deposits, previously reported separately, were combined with U. S. Government time deposits. Dem time deposits due to mutual savings banks had previously been reported with other "interbank" accounts, deposits in the new "foreign" category had previously been reported largely as "foreign interbank." Reporting member banks were asked to classify their deposits on both the old new bases as of il,. The table shows how deposit items were affected by the new classifications. The new concept of dem deposits adjusted includes all dem deposits except those of the U. S. Government domestic commercial banks, less cash items in process of collection. This differs from the previous concept because of the inclusion of dem deposits due to mutual savings banks ($ million) deposits due to foreign entities ($, million). Of the latter, $, million had previously been classified as foreign interbank deposits $ million as domestic interbank deposits. As a result of changes in classification as of il,, dem deposits adjusted (new concept) increased from $,0 million to $,0 million. COVERAGE A net increase in coverage resulted from eliminating adjustments previously made at the time of bank mergers to prevent distortions. The series now embraces 0 cities

This represents a reduction of one in the number of cities in number of banks since,. One reporting bank had moved its head office to a reporting city, this caused a reduction in the number of headoffice cities. The reduction in the number of banks resulted from mergers absorptions from the withdrawal of one bank from Federal Reserve membership. Mergers of two large banks accounted for about $ billion of the $. billion increase in coverage. Numerous other mergers of nonreporting banks with reporting banks accounted for the remainder. LOAN CLASSIFICATION Minor revisions in the loan classifications of foreign banks, "other nonbank financial institutions," "all other" loans resulted from more precise definitions of loans to international institutions foreign entities. These ^classifications resulted in decreases of $ million in loans to foreign banks $ million in loans to "other" nonbank financial institutions, an increase of $ million in "all other" loans as of il,.

12 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN JUNE RELATED CHANGES IN OTHER REPORTS The enlarged coverage has caused a minor addition to the totals shown in the Board's weekly release, "Changes in Commercial Industrial Loans by Industry" (H. ). In the back data from,, through il,, this addition has been included in the residual item of "unclassified borrowers." The change in classification of deposits for weekly reporting member banks is consistent with the changes in the deposit schedules of the call report of condition, which was first used as of il,. The Board's press statement (G. ) showing statistics on condition of all banks in the United States the monetary system, which is issued twice each month, the related tables in the BULLETIN, "Consolidated Condition Statement for Banks the Monetary System" "Principal Assets Liabilities Number of All Banks, by Classes," will also be affected by the changes in deposit classifications. However, these revisions will not be made until early, when year-ago data will be available on a comparable basis, when other revisions will be made in that series. The Board's monthly release of "Bank Debits" (G. ) will reflect the revised deposits classifications beginning with the data for June.

13 Law Department Administrative interpretations, new regulations, similar material Payment of Dividends Effect of Net Losses Section (b) of the Revised Statutes ( U.S.C. 0), as amended in, provides that "The approval of the Comptroller of the Currency shall be required if the total of all dividends declared by [a national bank] in any calendar year shall exceed the total of its net profits of that year combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years...." Under the sixth paragraph of Section of the Federal Reserve Act ( U.S.C. ), member State banks are required "to conform to the provisions of Section (b)... with respect to the payment of dividends," except that the approval of the Board of Governors is required in lieu of the approval of the Comptroller. The question has arisen whether it is necessary, in determining whether a bank's dividends in a particular year "exceed the total of its net profits of that year combined with its retained net profits of the preceding two years," to take into consideration the amount of a net loss in the current year or in one or both of the preceding two years. The purpose of the amendment of Section (b) was to prevent a bank from paying a dividend (except with supervisory approval) unless it has on h, from operations during the three latest years, sufficient net profits to cover the proposed dividend. If a net loss for one or more of those three years was disregarded in making the calculation called for by Section (b), a member State bank could pay dividends, without the approval of the Board of Governors, even though the aggregate results of the three latest years' operations was a net deficit. This was precisely the sort of situation in which Congress intended to prevent the payment of a dividend unless the supervisory authority was satisfied that special circumstances justified the proposed dividend. Accordingly, it is the position of the Board that, in making the calculation required by Section (b), it is necessary to take into consideration the actual results of operations during the current year the two preceding years, whether the figures for those years are plus or minus figures. For example, if a bank had (a) retained net profits of $0,000 from ; (b) a net loss of $0,000 in 0 ( dividends of $0,000 were paid in that year, with the Board's approval); (c) net profits of $0,000 in, it could not pay any dividend in without the Board's approval, since the calculation required by Section (b) would result in a zero figure ($0,000 minus $0,000 plus $0,000). It will be noted that, for the purposes of Section, any dividends paid in a loss year must be included in the "net loss" for that year, just as dividends paid in a profitable year must be deducted from "net profits" in calculating "retained net profits." Loan which is Secured Indirectly by Stock A question has been presented to the Board as to whether a loan by a bank to a mutual investment fund is "secured... indirectly by any stock" within the meaning of Section. of Regulation U, so that the loan should be treated as subject to the regulation. Briefly, the facts are as follows. Fund X, an open-end investment company, entered into a loan agreement with Bank Y, which was ( still is) custodian of the securities which comprise the portfolio of Fund X. The agreement includes the following terms, which are material to the question before the Board: () Fund X agrees to have an "asset coverage" as defined in the agreements) of 00 per cent of all its borrowings, including the proposed borrowing, at the time when it takes down any part of the loan. () Fund X agrees to maintain an "asset coverage of at least 00 per cent of its borrowings at all times. () Fund X agrees not to amend its custody agreement with Bank Y, or to substitute

14 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN JUNE another custodian without Bank Y's consent. () Fund X agrees not to mortgage, pledge, or otherwise encumber any of its assets elsewhere than with Bank Y. In Federal Reserve BULLETIN, at page, the Board stated that because of "the general nature operations of such a company," any "loan by a bank to an open-end investment company that customarily purchases stocks registered on a national securities exchange... should be presumed to be subject to Regulation U as a loan for the purpose of purchasing or carrying registered stocks" ("purchase loan"). The Board's interpretation went on to say that "This would not be altered by the fact that the open-end company had used, or proposed to use, its own funds or proceeds of the loan to redeem some of its own shares...." Accordingly, the loan by Bank Y to Fund X was is a "purpose loan." However, a loan by a bank is not subject to Regulation U unless () it is a purpose loan () it is "secured directly or indirectly by any stock." In the present case, the loan is not "secured directly" by stock in the ordinary sense, since the portfolio of Fund X is not pledged to secure the credit from Bank Y. But the word "indirectly" must signify some form of security arrangement other than the "direct" security which arises from the ordinary "transaction that gives recourse against a particular chattel or l or against a third party on an obligation" described in the American Law Institute's Restatement of the Law of Security, page. wise the word "indirectly" would be superfluous, a regulation, like a statute, must be construed if possible to give meaning to every word. The Board has indicated its view that any arrangement under which stock is more readily available as security to the lending bank than to other creditors of the borrower may amount to indirect security within the meaning of Regulation U. In an interpretation published at Federal Reserve BULLETIN it stated "The Board has long held, in the... 'purpose' area, that the original purpose of a loan should not be determined upon a narrow analysis of the technical circumstances under which a loan is made.... "Where security is involved, stards of interpretation should be equally searching." In its pamphlet issued for the benefit guidance of banks bank examiners, entitled "Questions Answers Illustrating Application of Regulation U," the Board said "In determining whether a loan is 'indirectly' secured, it should be borne in mind that the reason the Board has thus far refrained... from regulating loans not secured by stock has been to simplify operations under the regulation. This objective of simplifying operations does not apply to loans in which arrangements are made to retain the substance of stock collateral while sacrificing only the form." A wide variety of arrangements as to collateral can be made between bank borrower which will serve, to some extent, to protect the interest of the bank in seeing that the loan is repaid, without giving the bank a conventional direct "security" interest in the collateral. Among such arrangements which have come to the Board's attention are the following: () The borrower may deposit stock in the custody of the bank. An arrangement of this kind may not, it is true, place the bank in the position of a secured creditor in case of bankruptcy, or even of conflicting claims, but it is likely effectively to strengthen the bank's position. Section. (f) of Regulation U, which provides that "A loan need not be treated as collateralled by securities which are held by the bank only in the capacity of custodian, depositary or trustee, or under similar circumstances, if the bank in good faith has not relied upon such securities as collateral in the making or maintenance of the particular loan." does not exempt a deposit of this kind from the impact of the regulation unless it is clear that the bank "has not relied" upon the securities deposited with it. () A borrower may not deposit his stock with the bank, but agree not to pledge or encumber his assets elsewhere while the loan is outsting. Such an agreement may be difficult to police, yet it serves to some extent to protect the interest of the bank if only because the future credit sting business reputation of the borrower will depend upon his keeping his word. If the assets

15 CURRENT EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS covered by such an agreement include stock, then, as under () (), the stock is "indirect security" for the loan within the meaning of Regulation U. () The borrower may deposit stock with a third party who agrees to hold the stock until the loan has been paid off. Here, even though the parties may purport to provide that the stock is not "security" for the loan (for example, by agreeing that the stock may not be sold the proceeds applied to the debt if the borrower fails to pay), the mere fact that the stock is out of the borrower's control for the duration of the loan serves to some extent to protect the bank. The three instances described above are merely illustrative. methods, or combinations of methods, may serve a similar purpose. The conclusion that any given arrangement constitutes "indirect security" may, but need not, be reinforced by facts such as that the stock in question was purchased with proceeds of the loan, that the lending bank suggests or insists upon the arrangement, or that the loan would probably be subject to criticism by supervisory authorities were it not for the protective arrangement. Accordingly, the Board concludes that the loan by Bank Y to Fund X is indirectly secured by the portfolio of the fund must be treated by the bank as a regulated loan. Current Events Announcements RESIGNATION OF MR. SZYMCZAK AS A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS Mr. M. S. Szymczak, who had been a member of the Board of Governors since June,, resigned effective June,. Prior to his appointment as a member of the Board of Governors, Mr. Szymczak had been engaged in the educational field as well as in commercial banking. He was Comptroller of the City of Chicago at the time of his appointment to the Board. Mr. Szymczak's letter of resignation the President's letter of acceptance follow: The President, The White House. Dear Mr. President: il,. My purpose in writing you at this time is to apprise you of my intention to resign my position as a Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As you may be aware, it has been my pleasure to serve in this capacity for nearly years, following my appointment by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Two years after my appointment, with the enactment of the Banking Act of, existing appointments to the Board were terminated effective January,. Thereafter, terms of Members were for years, such terms so arranged as to provide for the expiration thereof at two year intervals. I was appointed for a term of years commencing ruary,, reappointed for years from ruary,. My present term expires on January,. Throughout my years of service I have held the conviction that the experience gained judgment developed in this period of time should be utilized by me, both while a Member of the Board thereafter, in contributing what I am able to the fields of Government service education, to other related fields of endeavor. As a member of the Board I have striven to contribute to the formulation of sound Federal Reserve System policy that would be, in turn, reflected in the nation's financial economic development. It

16 0 FEDERAL RESERVE BULLETIN JUNE is now time, I feel, for me to direct my efforts, in major fashion, to contributions in the fields of education related matters. Accordingly, in pursuit of this latter objective, I tender to you my resignation as a Member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to be effective by June,, or such earlier date as may be convenient to you. Chairman Martin is presently in Europe. On his return about the middle of, it is my hope that he I may have the opportunity to call upon you.
