Abstract: Excerpt from the report: Output per man-hour for all employees in factories processing farm food products increased about 56 percent from 1947-49 to 1963, according to preliminary estimates. Thus, only about two-thirds as many man-hours as were needed a decade and a half ago were required per unit of output in 1963; and the current product "mix" includes a much larger variety of products with more processing services per unit. Except for a slight decline in 1948, output per man-hour increased in each of the 16 years since 1947.
