'A total of 101415.000 mars-days was lost by work stoppages tween January and November — 3 1-2 times the strike-idleness in the same period of 1946 and nearly 14 time; that 0d the first ll months o! the war year. .1044.
The Bureau also reported that weekly earnings in manufacturing industries in Novas-her averaged 045M — about $5 more a week than in November. 1046. although the work week was about one hour shortu‘ than a year B80-
Although the average produc- tion worker in manufacturing had an increase of 11 1-2 per cent in weekly earnings. there was a big spread around that average.
For example: Ybur industries. employing one per cmt of all fac- tory workers. reported decreases in weekly eaniings between October. i946. and Octobr. 1946. while 51 industries. with 21 per cent of the employment. had increases in wcekly earnings of less than l0 per cent. 0n the other extreme. 20- per-cent increases were reported
13 industries with 11 per cent the workers.
