I n t r o d u c t i o n Occupational Earnings

During the past severa l yea rs , the Bureau of Labor Statistics has conducted areaw ide su rveys o f earnings in m ajor occupations that are com m on to variou s m anufacturing and nonmanufacturing in d u str ies .1 In form ation is a lso com piled on weekly w ork schedules and supplem entary wage p ra c t ice s . Seventeen m ajor labor m arkets w ere se lected fo r study during late 1953 and early 1954. Infor - m ation on six o f these a rea s is presented in this bulletin (Part l ) . P arts II and III, to be issu ed within the next few months, w ill contain data fo r 11 additional areas:

AtlantaB ostonC hicagoD enverL os A n gelesM em phis

Milwaukee N ew ark -Jersey City New Y ork City St. Louis San F ra n c is co -

Oakland

Occupational c la ss ifica tion is based on a uniform set of job d escrip tion s designed to take account o f inter establishm ent variation in duties within the sam e job (see Appendix for listing of these d escrip tion s). Earnings data are presented for the follow ing types o f occupations: (a) O ffice c le r ica l ; (b) p ro fession a l and tech n ica l; (c) m aintenance and powerplant; and (d) custodial and m aterial m ovem ent.

Data are shown for fu ll-tim e w ork ers , i . e . , those hired to work a fu ll-tim e schedule fo r the given occupational c la ssifica tion . Earnings data exclude prem ium pay fo r overtim e and nightwork. Nonproduction bonuses are a lso excluded, but co s t -o f-liv in g bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reported , as fo r o ffice c le r ica l occupations, re feren ce is to the w ork schedule (rounded to the nearest h alf-h ou r) fo r which straight- tim e sa laries are paid; average weekly earnings fo r these occu pa tions have been rounded to the nearest 50 cents.

In each area , data a re obtained by personal v is its o f Bureau fie ld agents to represen tative establishm ents within s ix broad industry d iv is ion s: M anufacturing; transportation (excluding ra ilroad s),com m unication , and other public u tilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insu ran ce , and rea l estate; and se rv ice s . M ajor industry groups excluded fro m these studies are governm ent in stitutions and the con stru ction and extractive industries. E stab lish m ents having few er than a p re scr ib e d number o f w orkers w ere a lso om itted since they furnish insu fficient em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w arrant in c lu s io n .2 W herever p ossib le , separate tabulations are provided fo r the individual broad industry d ivisions .

These su rveys are conducted on a sample basis because o f the u n n ecessary cost involved in surveying all establishm ents, and to ensure prom pt publication o f resu lts . To obtain appropriate a ccu ra cy at m inim um cost, a greater p roportion o f large than o f sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data, how ever, a ll establishm ents are given their appropriate weight. A ll estim ates are p resented th ere fore as relating to all establishm ents in the industry grouping and area , excluding only those below the m inim um size studied.

1 A listin g o f the rep orts issued fo r labor m arkets surveyed e a r lie r is available in D ire c to ry of Community Wage S urveys ; cop ies a re available upon request from the Bureau of Labor Stat is t ic s , W ashington 25, D. C . , or any o f its five regional o ffice s .

2 See table fo llow ing text fo r each area for m in im u m -size establishm ent co v e re d in these studies.

O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates re fer to the total in till establishm ents within the scope o f the study and not to the number actually surveyed. B ecause o f the great variation in occupational structure among establishm ents, estim ates of occupational em ployment are subject to con siderab le fluctuation due to sam pling. Hence, they serve only to indicate the relative num erica l im portance of the job studied. The fluctuations in em ploym ent do not m aterially a ffect the a ccu ra cy o f the earnings data.

Establishm ent P ra c tice s and Supplementary* Wage P rov ision s

In form ation is a lso presented on work schedules, wage structure ch a ra cter is tics , labor-m anagem ent agreem ent coverage, and selected supplem entary benefits as they relate to o ffice and plant w ork ers . The term , "o ffice w ork ers, as used in this bulletin includes a ll o ffice c le r ica l em ployees and excludes adm inistrative, executive, p ro fess ion a l, and technical person nel. "P lant w ork ers include working forem en and all nonsupervisory w orkers (including leadm en and tra in ees) engaged in nonoffice functions. A dm in istra tive, executive, p ro fess ion a l, and technical em ployees, and fo rce account construction em ployees who are utilized as a separate work fo rc e are excluded. C afeteria w orkers and routem en are excluded in m anufacturing industries but are included as plant w orkers in nonmanufacturing industries.

With re feren ce to wage structure ch a ra cter is tics (table B-8), a ll tim e-ra ted w orkers (plant or o ffice ) in an establishm ent are c la ss ifie d a ccord in g to the predom inant plan applying to these w ork ers . W hereas the proportions of tim e and incentive w orkers

This inform ation is presented both in term s of (ay estab lishm ent p o l ic y 3 and (b) e ffective p rov is ion s fo r w orkers actually em ployed on extra shifts at the tim e o f the survey. Tabulations relating to establishm ent p o licy are presented in term s o f total plant w orker em ploym ent; estim ates in the second tabulation relate only to those w orkers actually em ployed on the specified shift.

Supplementary benefits, other than shift d ifferen tia ls , are treated statistica lly on the basis that these are provided to all w orkers em ployed in o ffice s or plant departm ents that observe the p ractice in q u estion .4 B ecause of varying e lig ib ility requ irem ents, the proportion actually receiv in g the sp ec ific benefits m aybe sm aller .

Dallas is a rapid ly expanding manufacturing center with a grow ing variety o f in d u stries. Am ong those leading in em ploym ent are a ircra ft , autom obile and m achinery manufacturing, apparel, fo o d -p ro ce s s in g , p etro leu m refining, and ch em ica l production . The area is a lso ch a ra cte r ize d as a center of trade and financial a c tivity which la rg e ly accounts fo r the fact that nonmanufacturing em ploym ent still greatly exceeds that of its manufacturing en terp r is e s . The D allas study, coverin g a Septem ber 1953 payro ll p eriod , includes data fro m 166 establishm ents em ploying 82, 640 w o r k e r s --s e le c te d to rep resen t approxim ately 700 establishm ents with an estim ated em ploym ent of 150, 000 w orkers in 6 m ajor industry groupings within scope o f the study (see table fo llow in g ).

Wage Structure

T im e -ra te paym ents w ere made to the vast m ajority of the plant w orkers within the scope o f the D allas survey. Approxim ately 7 plant w ork ers w ere paid on a tim e-rate basis fo r each w ork er paid under incentive plans, such as bonus or p ie ce -ra te p lans. About th ree -fou rth s o f those paid tim e rates w ere em ployed in establishm ents with form a l rate stru ctu res --th ose providing a single rate or a range o f rates established for each job rather than rates estab lish ed on an individual basis . Plant w orkers em ployed under fo rm a lized plans providing rate ranges outnumb ered those under s in g le -ra te plans about 4 to 1. V irtually all form a l plans with job rates applying to o ffice w orkers provided rate ran ges. A pprox im ately tw o-th irds of the o ffice w orkers w ere em ployed under such plans, and m ost o f the rem ainder w ere paid individual ra tes .

Rate stru ctu res w hich included provisions for cla ssify in g jobs into a se r ie s o f labor grades w ere le ss w idespread. They co v e re d plant w ork ers in 10, and o ffice w orkers in 16, of the 166 establishm ents su rveyed . Such plans w ere reported in a variety o f indu stries; through the w orking su perv isory lev e l, the number o f rate steps varied fro m 4 to 12 for plant jobs and from 4 to 16 fo r o ffice jo b s .

O ccupational P ay L evels

W eekly earnings o f wom en secre ta r ies and general ste nographers in D allas averaged $64 and $55 in Septem ber 1953* O ffice g ir ls and routine file c le rk s , the low est paid w om en s jobs studied, averaged $39 and $38, resp ective ly . A verages for these and m ost other w om en s jobs o f num erical im portance w ere from $2 to $4 higher than in Septem ber 1952, the date of a previous survey by the B ureau.

Straight-tim e average hourly earnings o f men in the skilled maintenance trades w ere low est for autom otive m echanics ($ 1 .7 5 ) and exceeded $1 . 90 for carpen ters ( $ 1 . 9 2 ) , m achinists ( $ 1 . 9 4 ) , p lum bers ( $ 1 . 9 7 ) , e le ctr ic ia n s ( $ 2 . 0 4 ) , and too l-a n d -d ie m akers ($2.18). Their helpers averaged $1.44 an hour. Among custodial and mate ria l-m ovem en t job s which accounted fo r large num bers of w ork ers , hourly earnings w ere $1 .0 1 for watchm en, $ 1 . 18 for m aterial-handling la b o re rs , and $1.37 fo r d rivers o f m ed iu m -size trucks. W omen averaged 79 cents as jan itors and cleaners and $ 1 . 06 as packers of m erchandise fo r shipment. Increases in average earnings over Septem ber 1952 for plant jobs varied con siderably ; they amounted to 13 cents for m aintenance e lectr ic ia n s , m echanics (other than autom otive) and p lu m bers, 8 cents for c a r penters and trades h e lp ers , 5 cents fo r la b orers and guards, and 3 cents for men jan itors .

Straight-tim e earnings w ere higher in manufacturing than in nonm anufacturing industries fo r m ost of the o ffice and plant jobs studied. D riv ers o f light, m edium , and heavy trucks w ere among the few exceptions. H ow ever, earnings leve ls varied among industry groups within nonm anufacturing. W omen se cre ta r ie s , for exam ple, averaged $3.50 a w eek m ore in the public utilities group than in all nonmanufacturing industries com bined and equaled the average for the job in m anufacturing industries.

C o st -o f-L iv in g and Annual Im provem ent Adjustm ents

P rov ision s for p eriod ic adjustm ent o f wages based on changes in consum er p r ice s w ere reported in 13 o f the 166 establishm ents surveyed. These p rov is ion s generally applied to both o ffice and plant w ork ers . Six establishm ents studied had p ro v isions for autom atic annual im provem ent adjustm ents. A high proportion o f the w orkers cov ered by these provision s w ere in establishm ents m anufacturing m otor veh icles and a ircra ft, and in the transportation fie ld .

Labor-M anagem ent A greem ents

A lm ost half the plant w orkers within industry and establishm ent s ize groups surveyed in Dallas w ere em ployed in establishm ents having labor-m anagem ent agreem ents coverin g a m ajority of the plant w ork ers . Establishm ents with agreem ents coverin g a m a jority of the o ffice w orkers accounted for a tenth of the o ffice em ploym ent within the scope o f the study. The proportion of plant w orkers cov e re d by agreem ents in manufacturing industries was about double that fo r nonm anufacturing industries; o ffice w orkers cov ered w ere em ployed ch ie fly in nonmanufacturing industries within the public u tilities d ivision .


4W ork Schedules

W eekly w ork schedules of 40 hours applied to about fou r- fifths o f the o ffice w orkers and to half the plant w ork ers . In the rem aining o ffice s , w orkers scheduled fo r m ore than 40 hours w ere about double those scheduled for le ss than 40 hours. A high proportion of plant w orkers not on 40-hour workw eeks w ere scheduled for m ore than 40 hours, com m only 44 to 48, except in the transportation and other public u tilities group. M ore than a fourth of the w orkers in this group w ere scheduled to w ork 50 or m ore hours a w eek in Septem ber 1953.

Overtim e Pay

P rov ision s for prem ium pay for hours w orked beyond the regular weekly schedule applied to over nine-tenths o f the o ffice w orkers and fou r-fifth s o f the plant w ork ers . P rem ium pay p r o visions fo r hours w orked beyond the regular daily schedule applied to a third o f the o ffice and approxim ately half the plant w ork ers . Under m ost p rov is ion s fo r prem ium pay, both o ffice and plant w orkers rece iv ed tim e and on e-h a lf the regular rate fo r overtim e hours w orked; generally , this rate becam e effective after 40 hours under w eekly p rov is ion s and after 8 hours under daily overtim e prov is ion s.

Shift Operations

A lm ost a fifth o f the plant w ork ers in m anufacturing in dustries w ere working on extra sh ifts. D ifferen tia ls over day- shift rates usually w ere paid, the fo rm and amount varying among plants. N early half of the se con d -sh ift w orkers re ce iv e d l l/z cents additional hourly pay and m ost o f the rem ain der rece iv ed either 5 or 7 cents or 5 p ercen t. D ifferen tia ls over f ir s t -s h ift rates for w orkers on the third shift (accounting fo r only 3 p ercen t of the plant labor force ) w ere usually exp ressed in cents p er hour and ranged from 5 to m ore than 12 cen ts .

Paid Holidays

P rov ision s for paid holidays applied to p ra ctica lly all o ffice w orkers and to m ore than fiv e -s ix th s of the plant w orkers cov ered by the Dallas study. A third o f the o ffice and plant w orkers rece ived 6 paid holidays, and another third o f the o ffice w orkers and a fourth o f the plant w o rk e rs , re ce iv ed 5 paid h o lidays. More lib era l p rov is ion s applied to a substantial p roportion of the w orkers in the public u tility and finance groups. Half o f the o ffice w orkers and th ree -fifth s o f the plant w ork ers w ere em ployed in establishm ents having p rov is ion s fo r paym ent o f p r e m ium rates for w ork on paid h olidays. Including holiday pay, double time was the rate com m on ly paid under these p rov is ion s .

V acations with pay w ere granted, after a qualifying p eriod o f s e rv ice , to all o ffice w ork ers and to m ore than nine-tenths of the plant w ork ers . E xcept fo r a sm all proportion of plant w orkers rece iv in g a percentage o f earnings or a flat sum, vacation pay was based upon the worker*s regu lar rate for a specified p eriod of time, graduated accord in g to length o f s e rv ice .

W ork Schedules

W eekly w ork schedules of 40 hours applied to about fou r- fifths o f the o ffice w ork ers and to half the plant w ork ers . In the rem aining o f f ic e s , w ork ers scheduled for m ore than 40 hours w ere about double those scheduled for less than 40 hours. A high p rop ortion o f plant w ork ers not on 40-hour workw eeks w ere scheduled fo r m ore than 40 hours, com m only 44 to 48, except in the transportation and other public u tilities group. M ore than a fourth of the w ork ers in this group w ere scheduled to w ork 50 or m ore hours a w eek in Septem ber 1953.

O vertim e P ay

P rov is ion s for p rem iu m pay for hours worked beyond the regu lar w eekly schedule applied to over nine-tenths o f the o ffice w ork ers and fou r -fifth s o f the plant w ork ers . P rem ium pay p r o v is ion s fo r hours w orked beyond the regular daily schedule applied to a third o f the o ffice and approxim ately half the plant w ork ers . Under m ost p rov is ion s fo r prem ium pay, both o ffice and plant w ork ers re ce iv ed tim e and on e-h a lf the regular rate fo r overtim e hours w orked; gen era lly , this rate becam e effective after 40 hours under w eekly p rov is ion s and after 8 hours under daily overtim e p rov is ion s .


5Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans

Fully nine-tenths o f the o ffice w orkers and a slightly sm a ller proportion of the plant w orkers w ere in establishm ents which made available and paid at least part o f the cost of som e fo rm of health, insurance, or pension plan. The types o f plans and the extent to which each was available varied widely among establishm ents. Those available in establishm ents em ploying half or m ore of the o ffice and plant w orkers included life , hospita lization, and su rgica l insurance, and pension plans. Sickness and accident insurance plans w ere m ore prevalent than sick leave plans for plant w ork ers , but o ffice w orkers w ere m ore com m only cov ered under s ick leave plans.

Shift O perations

A lm ost a fifth of the plant w orkers in manufacturing industries w ere w orking on extra shifts. D ifferentia ls over day- shift rates usually w ere paid, the fo rm and amount varying among plants. N early half o f the secon d -sh ift w orkers rece ived l l!z cents additional hourly pay and m ost o f the rem ainder rece ived either 5 or 7 cents or 5 p ercent. D ifferentia ls over f irs t-sh ift rates for w orkers on the third shift (accounting for only 3 percent of the plant labor fo rce ) w ere usually exp ressed in cents per hour and ranged fro m 5 to m ore than 12 cents.
