Employment Up In Arizona

Favorable seasonal influences
combined with continued steady
economic growth raised nonfarm
employment in Arizona to new
all-time high of $780, at mid
November according to a report
issued today by Bruce Parkinson,
Administrator Director, Unemploy-
ment Compensation Division of the
Employment Security Commission.
Mid-month employment was 1000
above the mid-October total and
far exceeded the November 1859
total of 314,OOO. Employment trends
during the month were highlighted
by continued seasonal growth in
trade and services and further
gains in manufacturing. The ris-
ing trend of employment in most
industry divisions during Novem-
ber more than offset a reduction
of 1,1OO in contract construction
employment.
Manufacturing q Manufactur-
ing employment in Arizona was
48, 700 at mid-November, an in
crease of 700 over mid-O October and
2,1OO over a year ago. The Novem-
Der increase marks the third con-
secutive monthly gain from the
seasonal low for the year record
ed in August. The October to No
vember upturn in factory employ
ment stemmed mainly from a sea-
sonal advance in food processing
activities and continued growth in
the machinery segment. Ordnance
and aircraft employment was Writ
ually unchanged for the third
straight month.
Mining and Quarrying = State
wide mining employment was un-
changed for the second straight
month at total of $1,000. Copper
mining employment leveled off at
a total of 13,40O in November fol
lowing moderate gains in the two
previous months. Mid-N0vember
employment in the industry showed
a sharp increase over the year.
ago total since employment in the
industry was curtailed by labor
management dispute in November
1859.

Contract Construction =, En-
ployment in the industry moved
downward for the second. straight
month from the all-time high re-
corded at mid-September accord
ing to Mr.. Parkinson. The October
to November decline of ls1O0 was
general with moderate reductions
in most major areas. Despite the
November decline, employment in
the industry approximated the
year-ago level.
Trade and Services Trade en-
ployment rose SeaSOnally to an
all-time high of $4,000 at mid
ovember. The November increase
occurred entirely in retail trade
and reflects mainly expansion Or
employment in general merchan-
disc stores at the beginning of the
holiday season. Employment in
eating and drinking places CON
tinued a moderate upward trend
in November. Total employment
in trade was 6,4OO or eight per
cent above the November. 1859
level.
Employment in the services and
miscellaneous group advanced for
the fifth straight month with
November gain Of 900 to 47,6OO.
The November upturn represents
largely hiring incident to the open
ing of the winter tourist season.
Mid-November nonfarm employ
ment in the Phoenix Maricopa
County area was 185,6OO compares
to 1873, 800 at mid-October and 174,
200 in November 1859. Trade and
services employment rose season
ally and manufacturing moved up
ward for the third straight month
for a gain of 1,5OO since mid-Aug-
uSt. Contract construction employ
ment declined moderately for the
second straight month to a MIDI
November total of 1890.
Nonfarm employment in the Tuc-s
son Pima County area was $780,
at mid-November for an increase
of 500 over mid-October. Seasonal !
gains in trade and services alongS
with continued growth in govern
ment more than offset declines
of 400 in contract construction.
Hours and Earning, = Pro- 1
duction workers in manufacturing
averaged $3.50 per hour at mid
November, an increase of two cents
from the previous month and eight
cents over a year ago. Weekly
hours averaged 1877 at mid-Novem-
ber compared to an average of
1878 in October. Hourly earnings
of copper miners held steady at
an average of $2.76 per hour. Re-
duced weekly hours because of
unfavorable weather in some areas !.
cut hourly earnings of contract
