Summary:

The study includes firsthand information on the impact on production and manpower of electronic computers, phototypesetting equipment, web-offset printing, and other innovations at the nine printing firms which participated in the study. The report also discusses the outlook for future diffusion of new printing technology and describes measures undertaken to maintain job security at survey plants and elsewhere. Information for the study was obtained by members of the BLS staff during field visits to newspapers and commercial printing establishments where new technology was introduced and from experts in industry, labor, and government. Information also was obtained from secondary source materials, particularly trade and technical journals. This type of advance information could be of great assistance to management and union leaders, educators, government officials, economists, and others in planning policies to cushion the effects of change.
