Labor costs as share of industrial sales hover then rise
New York AP reports that over ten years labor costs as a portion of industrial sales have stayed below 1960s levels though 1974 may see a change. Wages rose 1.4 percent in manufacturing and 5 percent in all nonfarm businesses last year, while output per hour increased due to higher sales. Industry figures show wide variation, with oil at 9 percent of sales and transportation at 40 percent. aerospace 37 percent, autos 31, meats 13, electrical electronics 38, and company ranges within industries. Trends point to a possible end of the favorable cost ratio as labor seeks a larger share of sales.
