THIS study of trends in employment, and their relation to corresponding changes in production and unit labor requirements, deals only in bare outline with certain aspects of the development of the manufacturing sector of industry in the United States since 1899. The reader will not find here a description of the conditions of human labor inside factory walls, or an account of the rise of factory trade unions. Nor will he read here of the enterprise, skill and toil that have swelled the stream of fabricated products. Yet it is hoped that the statistical analysis presented in this report will illuminate all these developments for those patient enough to study the tables, charts, and textual discussion.

My main interest has been in the process, causes, and consequences of the larger historical changes that have taken place in economic life over the years. To strengthen the scientific basis of economic policy to deal with these changes has been the objective of my research, whether on social and private accounting, the evolving industrial structure of production and employment, produc tivity trends and cycles, or the widening role of government. This motive also underlies what I have tried to do in the administration of economic research.
