In agriculture, earnings per employee in the region ex- ceeded Ihose for the Nation in 1940, 1950, and 1960, but to a lesser extent in 1960. In manufacturing, earnings per employee were somewhat less in the region than the Nation throughout the 20-year period. This difference increased between 1950 and 1960 and was approximateiy $600 below that for the Nation in 1960_ Earnings per employee for the region, the individual subregions, and] 1 SMSA's 3S J percent of the national average are shown in table 7. In 1940 only two subregions. the Upper Missouri and the Yellowstone. were above the national average. By 1950 earnings per employee in the Upper Missouri Subregion were about 25 percent above the national average, while the Yellowstone was joined by the Platte-Niobrara and the Middle Missouri in exceeding the national figure.
