Abstract

Report Highlights: This report presents 1957 national estimates of full-time employees in 9,827 farmer marketing, farm supply, and related service cooperatives in the United States. This is the first time information of this nature has been provided for farmer cooperatives. The number of full-time employees that cooperatives require in their operations is dependent upon such factors as the nature of the business, seasonal or all-year operations, volume of business, the extent of economic integration, and the number of services or functions performed by them. The 9,827 associations employed a total of 141,000 persons on a full-time basis in 1957, or an average of 14 persons per association. Almost half of the associations had less than 5 full-time employees, and only 4 percent had 50 or more. Less than 2 percent of the associations had 100 or more full-time employees, while 1,000 or more persons were employed full-time by only 0.1 percent of the associations.
