The impact of industrial accidents on war production, with the resultant loss of manpower, produced demands for more current information. In 1942, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics undertook to collect and publish monthly data on injuries in almost 10000 establishments in industries of particular wartime importance. These were used by government agencies to pinpoint the plants and industries with high accident rates. Several special studies were conducted during the war, including an examination of the effect of long work hours on efficiency, output, absenteeism, and accidents. A study of operations at the Frankford Arsenal near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania l in 1941 showed that, when extended hours required exertion beyond the normal physical strength of the workers, there were more accidents, greater spoilage of material, greater turnover, and decidedly less production in the extended hours than in the regular hours. Further studies were made in 1943 and 1944. The Bureau conducted detailed studies of accidents in the foundry, longshoring, and slaughtering and meatpacking industries. The Bureau's data were made available to the Department's Labor Standards Division, and to the Maritime Commission for safety drives (from the bulletin The First Hundred Years of the Bureau of Labor Statistics was published by BLS in 1985 and available at www.bls.gov ). In 1944, the War Production Board reported that industrial accidents killed 37600 workers and injured 210000 permanently and ...

According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the October unemployment rate was 34.5 percent for black men ages 16 to 24.

UNLV Economics Professor discusses the reasons behind this staggering racial disparity, which is suspected to be even more of a problem here in Nevada.
www.inflation.us news.google.com December 7, 2009 Unemployment Decline An Illusion, Financial System Collapse Ahead On Friday it was announced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics that the US unemployment rate in November declined from 10.2% to 10%. While the mainstream media would like you to believe we have seen a peak in unemployment and the worst of the economic crisis is behind us, we know that this dip in the unemployment number is phony and the recession is only beginning. Although the unemployment number dipped in November, we still lost 11000 nonfarm jobs. Unemployment fell by 0.2% only because the civilian labor force shrunk in November by 98000 people. This means more people are becoming discouraged and giving up looking for jobs. When you combine both short and long-term discouraged workers who aren't included in the labor force along with those who are underemployed with part-time jobs, real unemployment in the US today is nearly 22%. The most important area of employment to look at is manufacturing jobs. Increasing manufacturing is the only way for our country to truly recover and build real wealth, because it will allow us to cut down on inflation by exporting real products instead of the money we print. Unfortunately, the US lost 41000 manufacturing jobs in November and has lost 2.1 million manufacturing jobs over the last two years. The main areas of increasing employment in November were health care and government jobs, which are non-productive jobs that ...
