This, the Census Bureau said, dis- closed there was a 49 per cent drop in value of sales as compared with the 1929 total of $49.114,653,000. Full | time employment dropped from 3.- 833,581 persons in 1929 to 2,703,325 in 1933, but part time emplovment increased from 569,359 to 730,327. Employers Work. At the same time the number of employers working in their own estab- lishments increased in the compara- tive period from 1,510,607 to 1,574.341. Just how much the decreased value | of sales was due to lack of purchas- | ing power and how much to lower prices, the bureau could not estimate. It was pointed out, however, that the index of food prices compiled by the Department of Labor was 156.7 in 1929 against 99.7 in 1933, a drop of 36.4 in four years. Gas Stations Hold Own. While the retail volume's value de- creased almost half between 1929 and 1933, several businesses declined com- paratively little. The number of gas- | oline filling stations increased 49,000 in the four years and the sales vol- ume of $1,531,724,000 was only 14 per cent less than the 1929 sales volume.
