BAKING INDUSTRY
General Notes

Comparison of Definitions nf the Indur.try

node Definition. - The Baking Industry, as defined by
the code includes "the manufacture, distribution including
trucking, and/or sale, in any manner whatsoeverj of bakery
-oroducts." Hotels, clubs, and restaurants where bakery lorod-
ucts are manufactured exclusively for consujmation at the lolace
of mamifacture, and wholesale and retail stores which do not
manufacture the bakery -oroducts offered for sale therein are
not covered by the code. The terra "bakery products" includes
"bread, rolls, cakes, ^ies, cookies, doughnuts and similar
goods, and other sweet yeast raised goods, but does not include
biscuits, crackers, uretzels, matzohs or ice cream cones."

Census Definition. - The sub-classification "Bakery
Products Other Than Biscuit and Crackers" of the Census classi-
fication "Bread and Other Bakery Products" is ap-olied to indus-
trial establishments engaged primarily in the production of
"bread, cakes, pies, and other commodities designed for consump-
tion within a fe-' days and. distributed locally or within the
radius of quick delivery."

Com-oarison. - The scoiDe of the industry as defined by
the code is practically coextensive with th;vt of the Census ^^
classification "Bakery Products Other Than Biscuit a.nd Crackers.
Both cover tne tjroduction of commodities designed for immediate
consumiotion and exclude commodities designed to be -oacked m^
containers so as to retain their -oalatibility for an indefinite
period. Because of the fact that baking activities are carried
on b-^ restaurants and wholesale and retail groceries, the coverage
is somewhat indefinite. Both the code and the Census attem-ot to
cover only that -oart of activities of such organizations which
relates purely to the -oroduction of bakery products for sale.

Establishments, having an annual production valued at
less than $5,000 are not included in the Census figures presented
in this re^Dort (excepting in Table X for years -orior to 1921),
Specific data as to the importance of this grouo are not availa-
ble. Judging from Table X, however, the exclusion of this group
apparently reduced the number of establishments canvassed by a
considerable amount but had very little effect on other series
such as wage earners, wages, or value of products. The code does
not recognize any such minimum.

8927

— "5-.

The sources of data in the accom-oanying tallies are the
Bxii-eau of the Census and the Bureau of Lahor Statistics.

Bureau of Census Data. - The industry "Bread and Other
Balcery Products" as defined "by the Census embraces two distinct
"branches. The first "cora-orises estatlishments otjerating on a
factory tasis and manufacturing biscuit, crackers, pretzels,
etc." The second "cora-orises "bakeries engaged in the ijroduction
of "bread, cakes, -oies" and other commodities designed for im-
mediate consumption. As has been indicated above statistics for
this second branch of the industry may be used as representative
of the industry as defined by the code. Except for a few tables
data for this classification are presented in this rerjort. Data
on materials purchased and cons-umed by the Baking Industry are
not available for the seoarate branches of the industry. Tables
X"VI and XVII cover the entire industry but are fairly representa-
tive of the classification "Bakery Products Other Than Biscuit
and Crackers" in that establishments in the "Biscuit and Crackers"
iranch of the industry account for less than 20 per cent of the
value of products in the industry as a whole.

The returns on the detailed statistics of materials and
products called for on the Census schedules have been "incomplete
to such a degree as render it impractical to give comnarable
figures for different Census years." Establishments which made
satisfactory returns at one census failed to do so at another.
Bakeries with annual nroduction of less than $20,000 do not, as
a rule, keep comiDlete records. Also, some of the larger bakeries
fail to re-Dort the detailed statistics called for on the schedule.
These facts should be keiot in mind in connection with Tables
XIII, XVI and XVII.

Detailed data for a number of states have been omitted
from the tables showing state breakdorrns (Table XI ) because of
their relatively small value of nroduct. Some other of the
foregoing states, however, may have a greater value of oroduct
than that of states listed in the body of the table. Detailed
data for these states have not been -oublished by the Census for
the separate branches of the industry in order not to disclose
operations of individual establishments.

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data. - Labor data from this
source are "based on a sannDle of the Census classification "Bread
and Other Bakery Products." They are therefore more inclusive
in coverage than the code definition in that biscuits, crackers,
pretzels, etc. are excluded from the code. A detailed descrip-
tion of these data, as- well as the isrice and cost of materials
series from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, are presented on
notes accoEDTjanying those tables.

EA-KING INDUSTRY
(Code llo. 445)

1. GEIIERA-L COi.D.iEITTS OH CURBEKT LA30R tATA

Current latior data fron the Birreau of Latior Statistics are "based
uoon a sazrole covering, for enploymcnt, -oayrolls and average weekl:,'-
wages, ap-n-oximately 45 per cent, and, for average hours and average
hourlj^ wages, ap-oroximately 35 per cent, of the wage earners covered by
the Census classification "Bread and Other Baicery Products." Prior to
1934 the sanple coverage was approximately 35 per cent for employnent,
payrolls and average weekly wages and approximately 20 per cent for av-
erage ho\u-s and average hourly earnings.

The Census classification "Bread and Other Baherj^ Products"
covers all 'baliery products of which, in value, the Baiting Industry Code
comprise approximately 82 per cent.

2, 3I.IPL0YI.SITT ATB PAYROLLS

Bureau of Lahor Statistics indexes have "been adjusted to the
1933 Census totals "by IIPA. The hase figures used in the adjustments
and in estimating employment and payrolls cover "biscuit and craker
manufacturers as well as producers of the hread and other "balcery prod-
ucts which are covered hy the code.

3. PRICES

Current Bureau of Lahor Statistics monthly retail prices of
"bread are market quotations at llevf York and Chicago for the week near-
est the fifteenth of the month.

The index of wholesale prices is a composite of three Bureau of
Labor Statistics wholesale price series weighted "by the quantities mar-
keted in 1931, These series are c^uotations of "bread prices at Hew York
and at Chicago and of sweet crackers. Hie Bureau of La"bor Statistics
pu"blished quotations of "bread prices in five cities. The other three
have not "been included in this index "because the qxiantity marketed in
these three cities represents only 10 per cent of the quantit;' raarlceted
in the five cities.

8927

4. COST OF ijlTEEIALS

The index of raw materials' prices is a composite of si:: Bureau
of Labor Statistics wholesale price series. In computing this index
onlj'' those commodities v/hose prices are reported consistently were used.
Price quotations of wheat flour, standard patents, at Buffalo and
Minneapolis were selected as representative of all flour marketed, as
the qi\a.ntity iiarketed at these points represents 50 per cent of the
flour narheted at all the points for which the Bureau of Lahor Statistics
c[uotes prices. Price quotations of e^gs at Chicago and ITev; York were
selected since nearlj;- 70 per cent of the quantity of eggs narlreted in the
seven points for which prices are c^uoted are sold in those two cities,

Tlie weights used in combining the si:: series are based on the

quantities consuBied as raw Materials in the industry, 1929 and 1931, as

reported by the Census for the classification "Bread and Other Bakery
Products,"
