Seasonal Variation in Employment
Data, on seasonal variation of employment in the production division of the Industry, which are presented for the years 1929 and 1933 in Table XIII, show relatively low employment in the first four months of each yea.r. Production for the summer selling season begins around May, and producers usually attempt to start work on special features at that time in order to further their sales efforts. In 1929 and 1933 employment was higher in the last six months of the year, with maximum employment occurring in September.
Table XIII also shows that during the last four months of 1933, enployment was generally about 15 per cent higher than in 1929. This increase may be partially attributed to a decrease in hours and subsequent increase in the number of wage earners under the "President's Re-employment Agreement.
