Introduction ^

The San Francisco-Oakland area is one of several iinportant industrial centers in
which the Bureau of labor Statistics conducted occupational wage surveys during early 1951* 2/
Occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries were studied
on a community-wide basis. Cross-Industry methods of sampling were thus utilized in compiling
earnings data for the following types of occupations:
(a) office clerical;
(b) professional
and technical; (c) maintenance and power plant; (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping. In
presenting earnings
information for such jobs
(tables 1 through b )
separate data have been
provided wherever possible for individual broad industry divisions. Occupations that are
characteristic of particular, important,
local industries have been studied as heretofore on
an industry basis, within the framework of the community survey. 3 /

Although only a limited amount of such data was compiled in the present survey,
greater detail will be provided for in future studies. Union scales are presented in lieu of
(or supplementing)
occupational earnings for several industries or trades in which the great
majority of the workers are employed under terms of collective bargaining agreements, and the
contract or minimum rates are indicative of prevailing pay practice. Data on shift operations
and differentials, hours of work, and supplementary benefits, such as vacation and sick leave
allowances, paid holidays, nonproduction bonuses,
and insurance and pension plans have also
been collected and summarized.

State, county, and municipal agencies in California participated in the study,
eliminating duplication of wage data collection by governmental agencies in the Bay area.
This coordination of survey activity was effected through the Bay Area Salary Survey Committee
and the San Francisco Civil Service Commission. Individual agencies received separate tabu­
lations limited to specified geographic, industrial, and occupational coverage. Data for
several of the locally adopted survey job classifications are presented in the report.

The

San Francisco

Bay A re a

Entering a defense mobilization period late in 1950,
the Bay Area experienced a
moderate upswing in employment and a modest decrease in unenqployment by early 1951. Although
the full impact of expansion in productive capacity was not expected until much later, a brisk
demand for additional workers by private employers and government installations was evident
in January 1951. Wage rates and salaries in almost all employments were the highest on record
and tendencies in a number of industries and government agencies were toward longer workweeks.
The six-county area was also experiencing the highest prices for goods and services within
recent memory.
Labor and Industry in the Bay Area
Offering a wide diversity in sources of livelihood for more than 2,200,000 inhabi­
tants, the Bay Area had about 950,000 persons employed in various enterprises in January 1951>
including manufacturing,
transportation, communication, utilities, trade, finance, services,
construction, and in government. About 1 of every b of these was employed or self-employed
in trade. Manufacturing industries employed 1 of every 5 of these individuals, a like p r o ­
portion was in service industries, and government employed 1 of every 8 . Transportation, co m ­
munication, and utilities had one-tenth of the total; construction, one-twelfth; and finance,
one-twentieth.
In the City of San Francisco, with more than half the total employment in the
area, 2 of every 3 persons were employed in shipping,
trade, finance, or service industries.

Excluding the self-employed, Bay Area manufacturing had about 182,000 employees in
January 1951. Although a fifth of these were in the food industries at the time of the sur­
vey, this proportion normally increases to almost a third at the peak of fruit and vegetable
canning in the summer when several thousand workers are added. Metal fabrication, including
the manufacture of a variety of machinery and structural steel products, largely In Oakland,
employed close to 35>000. Production of chemicals and petroleum products, chiefly in the East
Bay cities of Emeryville and Richmond, accounted for approximately 28,000 workers. There were
15.000 employees
in the printing and publishing industry, most of them in San Francisco.
Women*s apparel, almost wholly in San Francisco, had 8,000 workers.
Ship repair w o r k in pri­
vate shipyards provided employment for ^,500 hut this figure was small compared w ith the
20.000 working in government shipyards. Other manufacturing activities with aggregate e m ­
ployment of approximately 5 0 ,0 0 0 included furniture manufacture;
stone, clay, and glass p r o ­
ducts; basic steel; motor vehicles and other transportation equipment.
Among nonmanufacturing industries, the largest w ork force was employed
in retail
trade. The approximately 120,000 sales people and related distribution employees of retailing
totaled half again the 80,000 workers in wholesale trade. The service industries gave e m ­
ployment to about 100,000 workers and a labor force of more than 70,000 was utilized in trans­
portation, communication, and other public utilities. Financial institutions including insur­
ance carriers and real-estate operators employed an estimated 3 7 ,000.

l/ Prepared in the Bureau*s Division of Wage Statistics by John L. Dana, Regional Wage
Analyst, Region V, San Francisco, California. The planning and central direction of the pro­
gram was the responsibility of Toivo P. Kanninen and Louis E. Badenhoop under the general
supervision of Harry Ober, Chief of the Branch of Industry Wage Studies.
2/
Other areas studied are: Atlanta, Ga.; Boston, Mass.; Chicago, 111.; Denver, Colo.;
and New York, N. Y. Similar studies were conducted in 1950 in Buffalo, N. Y.; Denver, Colo.;
Philadelphia, Pa., and San Franc!sco-Oakland, Calif,
3/ Bee Appendix A for discussion of scope and method of survey.




The Bay Area's building industry, which completed 25,000 new homes during 1950,
provided employment for more than 65,000 in January 1951.
Increased governmental activities,
traceable directly to national defense needs, brought to 1 1 U ,000 the total employment for
city, county, State, and Federal governmental jurisdictions in the six-county area.
Among the industry groups surveyed by the Bureau in January 1951, almost all plant
workers were employed in establishments having written contracts with labor organizations.
Periodic labor-management bargaining for wage rates and working conditions for close to the

2.

entire non-clerical labor force has prevailed in the Bay Area for many years. The proportion
of office workers employed under union contract conditions is substantially less, however. In
all industry groups combined, about 1 in every 6 office workers was employed by a firm having
a written contract with a union representing office workers. With the exception of the rail­
road industry in which all office workers were covered by union contract,
organization was
farthest advanced among office employees in retail trade and the transportation, communica­
tion, and utilities group
(except railroads).

Information for the railroad industry is presented separately in this report and
has not been combined with data in any of the other tables. This has been dene in recognition
of the fact that wages in the railroad industry bear strong imprints of interstate considera­
tions that have evolved over a long period of time. Some of these general considerations
are: Nation-wide minimum rates that affect the entire range of occupational rates; and special
modes of wage payment and related practices.
Cross-Industry Occupations

Occupational W a g e

Structure

Before the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, collective bargaining in early 1950
Bay Area negotiations followed a general pattern established during 1949 which tended toward
relative wage stability. Emphasis on nonwage benefits such^ts^ pensions,
health, and welfare
plans was noticeable,
but such issues were not as predominant as in 1949 negotiations. Mod­
erate wage advances of from 2 to 4 percent were written into most contracts concluded, whereas
many 1949 contracts allowed no changes in scales. Settlements in a number of important situ­
ations were in the nature of long-term agreements with provisions for additional but deferred
wage increases.
Bargaining action increased sharply after July with the acceleration of inflationary
forces and the likelihood of imposition of wage controls. The earlier drive for fringe im­
provements was lost sight of to a large extent by union negotiators. The wage
issue became
paramount and resulted in broad patternmaking settlements based chiefly on rises in living
costs. Agreements completed early in the Fall in petroleum refining and the maritime industry
provided wage advances of approximately 6 percent, and set a pace closely followed by others
including governmental Jurisdictions. Several contracts agreed upon earlier in the year were
reopened with resultant wage increases, bringing workers up to the general pattern established.
At the year* s end a large majority of workers in manufacturing had received raises of from 4
to 7 percent. Cannery workers, with two advances during the year, had scales 12 to 15 percent
over 1949. More than 60,000 construction workers received raises of from 6 to 8 percent.
Contracts concluded in retail trade generally provided 4 to 5 percent increases, as did those
completed in transportation and public utilities. The 6 percent pattern was followed for
40,000 civilian workers in Navy installations in the area, and California State employees r e ­
ceived a 5 percent increase. Upward to 300,000 nonclerical workers in the Bay Area employed
in establishments having written agreements with trade-union had increases in wage rates dur­
ing the year.
Raises of from 5 to 10 percent for office workers during 1950 were most typical.
Adjustment of 19^9 scales for many came late in the year, when it became apparent that wage
and salary stabilization b y government control was imminent.
In the discussion of wages which follows, two main occupational groupings are dis­
tinguished: (1 ) cross-Industry occupations, such a£ office clerical occupations, professional
and technical occupations, maintenance occupations, and custodial, warehousing, and shipping
occupations; and (2) characteristic industry occupations. The first group of occupations was
studied on a cross-industry basis fro® employer pay roll records. These occupations are
usually found in all or a number of industries. In general, the characteristic industry occu­
pations are peculiar to a specific industry. As indicated below, straight-time average rates
or earnings are shown for some Industries; union scales are shown for others.




Office clerical occupations— Of the 34,000 women classified in the 27 office occu­
pations studied, only 2 ,000, fewer t han 6 percent, were paid at rates less than $ 1*0 weekly.
Average salaries in 22 of these Jobs were $50 or more a week in January 1951 (table 1) • Among
5,000 Bay Area stenographers (general) averaging $55 a week,
3 of every 4 were paid $50 or
more a week. Secretaries averaged $64.50 and experienced copy-typists averaged $ 5 1 . Routine
file clerks and office girls, averaging $ 1*2.50 and $ 1*3 respectively,
constituted the lowest
paying office Jobs reported for women. Highest paid women were hand bookkeepers w h o averaged
$ 66 .50 . Among the general clerk categories,
the average for the Junior stage was $1*6; the
intern®dlate, $53.50; and the senior, $61*. Salaries of women in offices of manufacturing in­
dustries were generally higher than in nonmanufacturing. In 22 of 26 Job categories permitting
such a comparison women in manufacturing establishments typically made $3 to $5 more a week.
Within the nonmanufacturing group of industries,
salaries most nearly approached average
scales in manufacturing in tile fie ld s o f wholesale trade and transportation
(excluding rail­
roads), communication, and other public utilities.
Highest average salaries for men office workers were $ 78.50 for senior general
clerks and $ 71* for hand bookkeepers. Office boys were lowest paid w i t h a general average of
$41.50. General clerks at the Junior level averaged $ 53 , and at the
intermediate level,
$63.50. Accounting clerks were at an average weekly scale of $ 67 * as were pay-roll clerks.
Average salaries tended to be higher In nonmanufacturing industries than in manufacturing. A
comparison of salaries of m en and women in similar Jobs generally indicated a wage advantage
for men. This advantage was generally greater in Jobs requiring a substantial amount of
training. Differences in average salaries for me n and women in particular occupations gener­
ally do not reflect differences In rates within the same establishment.
A comparison of average salaries of San Francisco office workers
(table 1-A) with
general area averages Indicated only minor differences in occupational pay levels.
Professional and technical occupations— W o m e n registered nurses employed In indus­
trial establishments, principally manufacturing, averaged $62 a we e k in January 1951 (table 2).
Among other professional and technical occupations selected for study, draftsmen employed
mainly in engineering and architectural service firms received $ 78.50 weekly. Junior drafts­
men averaged $ 60 .50 .
Maintenance and power plant occupations— Among skilled maintenance crafts, hourly
rates typically ranged be'tween $1.90 and $2.10 in early 1951 (table 3). Carpenters, with an
average rate of $ 2 .1 2 per straight-time hour, were highest paid, and general utility main­
tenance men were lowest with a n average of $1.90. The latter were found principally in smaller
establishments where specialization in maintenance wo r k is impractical. Auto mechanics,
electricians, painters, pipe fitters, radio technicians, and sheet-metal workers, along with
carpenters, had rates in excess of $2 an hour. Machinists, the largest skilled group studied,
averaged $ 1 .99 . The general average far helpers to these craftsmen was $1.64 an hour.
Custodial, warehousing, and shipping occupations— Average rates for men custodial
workers ranged from $1.24 an hour for elevator operators to $ 1 .5 9 an hour for garage attend­
ants
(table 4). Guards had an hourly average of $1.49, compared with $1.4l for watchmen.

3
Janitors, porters, and cleaners received $1.30 on an all-industry “basis, “but $1.46 for man u ­
facturing taken separately.
In nonmanufacturing,
average pay rates in this category ranged
from $ 1 .2 1 in the service industries to $ 1.3 5 in retail trade.
The largest single group studied in warehousing operations were stock handlers and
hand truckers. Their average rate in manufacturing industries was $1.56 compared with $1.58
for nonmanufacturing. The all-industry average was $1.57* Order fillers were also an Impor­
tant category in wholesaling,
and averaged $ 1 .5 5 in all industries, $ 1.5 8 in manufacturing
and $1.55 in nonmanufacturing. Truck drivers averaged $1.78 w h e n handling light pick-up and
local delivery trucks, $1.89 on medium-size trucks (l^ to 4 tons),
and $1.89 when operating
heavy, trailer-type trucks.
Characteristic Industry Occupations
Straight-time average earnings
Following the practice for the cross-Industry occupations previously discussed, the
wage or salary information for the following 13 industries reflects straight-time earnings
derived from employer pay-roll records.
Meat products,
Independent producers— General cutters in beef cutting and general
butchers in cattle killing averaged straight-time hourly earnings of $ 2.20 in early 1 9 5 1 *
These are important Jobs in meat packing and wholesaling.
In the manufacture of sausages and
other prepared meat products, sausage makers averaged $ 2 .2 7 an hour and women packers in sau­
sage making departments averaged $ 1 .2 6 (table 5 ).
Ferrous foundries--Early in January 1951 average rates of Bay Area foundry workers
ranged from $1.39 an hour for hand truckers to $2.27 for wood patternmakers. Floor moldera
received $ 1 .85 ; hand coremakers,
$1.84;
chlppers and grinders,
$ 1 .53 ; and shake-out men,
$1.46 (table 6 ). A general increase of 12 cents an hour for all classifications was granted
by most establishments in the area late in the month.
Industrial chemicals— Class A chemical operators in the East B a y ’s important indus­
trial chemical industry averaged $1.92 an hour. Class B chemical operators received $1.83 and
the average for operators' helpers was $1.72. These earnings figures relate to me n workers
(table 7 ).
Paints and varnishes— Tinters averaging $1.89 an hour (table 8 ), were the highest
paid men In Jobs studied In the paint and varnish manufacturing industry. Varnish makers and
technicians also earned more than $1.80 an hour. Hand truckers,
at $1.64 were paid less, on
the average, than m en working as
labelers and packers
($1.68) but more than women labelers
and packers ($1 .50 ).
Fabricated structural steel and ornamental metal w o r k — Structural fitters (class A)
had a n average hourly rate of $1.86, exceeded among the plant Jobs studied only by the average
$1.99 paid class A machine welders and the $1.91 paid class A lay-out men. Average rates for
other Jobs in this industry,
closely allied with basic steel, were: electric-bridge crane
operators (10 tons and over), $1.53;
class A pcwer-shear operators, $1.60;
flams-cuttingmachine operators, $1.68; and class A hand welders, $1.76 (table 9)#
Machinery manufacture— General assemblers were numerically the most important Job
group In the machinery industries. They were classified into three subgroups according to
skill ranges and responsibilities required in varied assembly work. T h u s , class A workers
performing work requiring highest skills averaged $1.79 an hour. Class B workers averaged
$1.54, and class C, $1.47. Tool-and-die makers,
the highest paid among the 16 Jobs studied




.

in machinery had an average hourly scale of $2.21. Production machinists averaged $1.84 an
hour. The above figures and the earnings data shown for the
industry in table 10 reflect
pay-roll information as of early January 1951* late in the month, as In the foundry industry,
a wage advance of 12 cents an hour for all Jobs was made effective b y a majority of the firms
In the industry.
B a n k s — Me n commercial tellers with 5 or more years*
service w i t h the establishment
were paid an average of $79 a week. This compared with an average of $ 56.50 for tellers wi t h
less than 5 y e a r s ’ experience. Among women tellers,
the figures were $59.50 for those with
5 or more years*
service, $54.50 for less. Women employed as bookkeeping-machine operators
on routine w ork averaged $46 a w eek (table 1 1 ).
Department and clothing stores— Weekly earnings of sales people employed in depart­
ment and clothing stores reflected commissions paid on sales w h i c h was a usual method of com­
pensation for these workers. Men sales clerks in furniture and bedding departments were the
highest paid. They averaged $ 89.50 weekly. Other weekly averages for men were $89 in m e n ’s
clothing; $71 in w o m e n ’s shoes; and $64.50 in men's furnishings. The highest paid salesladies
were also in furniture and bedding departments. Their average wee k l y pay was $59.50. W o m e n
selling popular-priced dresses in basement departments received $46 compared w i t h a n average
weekly pay of $60 for those selling more expensive dresses in upstairs departments. A similar
but closer relationship existed between pay levels of women selling w o m e n ’s accessories.
In
basement departments they earned $46.50 and in upstairs departments,
$49.50.
In nonselling
categories, men tailors performing alterations on m e n ’s garments averaged $ 66 .50 , w o m e n oper­
ating passenger elevators averaged $49.50,
and women cashier-wrappers were at a $46 weekly
average (table 1 2 ).
Power laundries— Most of the more than 500 w o m e n employed on flatwork finish m a ­
chines in Ba y Area laundries were paid an hourly rate Just under $1. The average for the e n ­
tire group was 99 cents. Women on machine shirt-pressing operations averaged $1.09 and iden­
tifiers, who sort, examine, and list articles in the cleaning operations, averaged $1.17. Men
operating extractor and washing machines received $1.37 and $1.4l a n hour,
respectively
(table 1 3 ).

Auto repair shops--Automotive mechanics (class A) in East Bay auto repair shops and
repair departments of dealer establishments averaged $2.02 an hour in January 1951. This com­
pared with $2.04 for comparable w o r k on the San Francisco side of the Bay. Similarly, East
Bay body repairmen averaged $ 2 .2 1 , West bay $2.23; Bast B a y greasers $ 1 .56 , W e s t bay $1.63
(table 14).
Hospitals - -Average weekly pay for the more than 2,000 registered nurses in B a y Area
hospitals was $57. W o m e n employed in other professional categories were at higher levels.
X-ray technicians averaged $58.50; dieticians,
laboratory technicians, and physiotherapists,
$62.50;
and pharmacists, $93.5°• Average earnings of men in these Jobs were slightly higher
(table 15).
Hotels (San Francisco)--On an average hourly basis, m e n desk clerks in hotels in
the City of San Francisco received $1.25, whereas room clerks received $ 1 .38 . Men and w o m e n
elevator operators averaged $1.08 and $1.07, respectively. Women's earnings in the Jobs
studied ranged from $1.04 for chambermaids to $ 1 .1 5 for cashiers (table 1 6 ).
Railroads--Bates of pay in selected office,
shop maintenance, warehouse, and c u s ­
todial Jobs in the railroad industry of the Bay Area are presented in table 17. Average sal­
aries in railroad offices ranged from $48 fbr office boys to $ 66.50 for m e n accounting clerks.
W o m e n general stenographers averaged $ 60, and men Junior clerks,
$55.50 for a 40-hour week.

Straight-time average hourly
r ates of $1.74 we r e reported
for skilled maintenance
v o r k e r s (electricians, m a c h i n i s t s , a n d s h e e t-metal workers). Helpers to maintenance craftsmen
w e r e p a i d $1.1*5 a n hour.
Sto c k handlers
and hand truckers
averaged $1.39 a n hour. W o r k e r s
p e r f o r m i n g J a n i t o r i a l d u ties a v e r a g e d $1.3 3 .

Union wage scales
The information for the following 12 industries relates to the minimum wage rates
and maximum straight-time hours per w eek agreed upon through collective bargaining between
employers and trade unions.
Bakeries--Contract bakery worker scales
in San Francisco hand shops were higher
than those set for Oakland, but rates were the same for both cities in machine shops. In both
cities machine shop wage scales were higher them for hand shops, however. Minimum hourly pay
for San Francisco ovenmen was $1.99 in machine shops, $1.93 in hand shops. For Oakland ovenmen,
the corresponding figures were $1.99 and $1.87. The rate for dividers, molders, and
roll-machine operators in machine shops in both cities was $1,90. Pay for bench machine hel­
pers in San Francisco was set at $1.53 for the first year and $1.6l for the second year of
service. Weekly hours worked in San Francisco hand shops were 38 3 A > In Oakland, 1*2. Weekly
hours worked in machine shops in both cities were 37 1/2 (table 18).
Building construction--The basic hourly wage scales among 7 major construction
trades ranged from $ 1 .5 5 for building laborers to $3 for bricklayers and plasterers in both
Oakland and San Francisco
in early 1951. Minimum rates for all classifications covered with
the exception of electricians were identical in both cities. The San Francisco scale for
this category was $ 2 .63 , the Oakland scale $2.55. A 40-hour week was in effect for all trades
except San Francisco bricklayers and Oakland plasterers, who were paid overtime rates after
30 hours a week, and painters in both cities who had a basic workweek of 35 hours (table 1 9 ).
M a l t l i q u o r s — U n i o n scales in S a n F r a n c i s c o ’s brewing

Canning, fruits and vegetables--tn the fruit and vegetable canning industry in Oak­
land, union scales for all classifications were determined according to a Job evaluation sys­
tem resulting in 5 Job brackets for me n workers
(table 21). Thus, Bracket I, covering the
highest production skills such as mechanics and painters,
commanded an hourly rate of $ 1.90
and Bracket V with the lowest skills such as equipment attendants atad car loaders called for
$1.3**. Among w o men workers,
floor ladies were paid $1.34 and unassigned wcmen workers were
paid $1.18. Since incentive method of payment for some Job categories is practiced in many
canneries,
a minimum guaranteed hourly rate of $ 1 .1 8
is set for either men or women paid on
the basis of output, regardless of Job classification. Average hourly earnings under such
conditions are determined b y the volume of material processed by the workers. Cannery opera­
tives worked 40-hour weeks.
"Exempt" weeks may be claimed in accordance with Fair Labor
Standards Act provisions
in periods of high seasonal activity. During such "exempt" weeks,
48 hours may be worked before premium overtime rates are effective.
Local transit operating employees— Operators of busses, and motormen and conductors
of bridge trains in Oakland’s local transit system had basic scales of $1.48 hourly for the
first 6 months of service, $1.53 thereafter,
in early 1951. In San Francisco, operators and
conductors of busses,
trackless trolleys, streetcars, and cable cars were at a uniform $ 1.5 3
hourly rate, regardless of service. Hours of work per week were 40 in Oakland and 48 in San
Francisco (table 22).




Motor truck drivers and helpers— In the trucking industry drivers had widely varying
minimum hourly rates ranging from $1.5*5 for those employed in general hauling of loads under
2,500 pounds in San Francisco to $2.51 for night drivers w ith at least 1 year of service d e ­
livering newspapers and periodicals in Oakland. Rates differed according to community, com­
modities transported,
size of truck, and length of service. Petroleum tank truck drivers in
San Francisco with less than 6 months of service received $1.75*
and those with more than 2
years* service were paid $1.93 an hour.
In Oakland, however, the service range was shorter
for such workers and the pay was higher— drivers with less than 6 months*
service receiving
$1.80 and those with more than 1 year, $ 1 .98 . Weekly hours for drivers handling all types of
loads in both cities was 40, with the exception of moving van drivers and helpers in San
Francisco who worked 46 hours before premium pay was effective (table 23 ).
Nonalcoholic beverages— On a 4 0 -hour we e k basis bottlers in the soft drink and car­
bonated waters industry in S an Francisco were paid $ 72.50 as a minimum union scale. Driversalesmen who also had a 40-hour workweek were paid $ 76.50 (table 24).
Ocean transport--Monthly rates of offshore, unlicensed, maritime personnel in deck
and engine-room departments were scaled according to tonnage and type of vessel sailed. Rates
were scaled for the stewards department according to kind of trade,
i.e.,
intercoastal or
offshore ports
(table 25 ). All rates reported included a $7.50 monthly clothing allcvance
(not considered part of the basic seals until recently drawn contracts). Moreover, for deck
and engine-room men not standing watches,
the rates reported Included an allowance of $25 a
month in lieu of work at sea at the Sunday overtime rate
(also, not formerly considered part
of basic scales).
Minimum monthly pay for able bodied seamen standing watches was $248.50, compared
with $206 for ordinary seamen.
In the engine-room, daytime firemen received $267.50; watchstanding firemen, $ 236 . Chief reefer engineers standing watch were paid from $341*50 to $393,
according to type and tonnage of vessel worked. Scales for stewards department ratings ranged
from $214 for messmen and waiters on all types of vessels to $552.50 for chefs on class A
passenger vessels.
Hours of work at sea were 44 a week for day men in the deck and engine-room depart­
ments . For watchstanders in these departments and for all ratings in the stewards department
weekly hours at sea were 56 with overtime pay for 8 hours*
Sunday work.
In port, both deck
and engine-room ratings received overtime pay after 40 hours* w ork a week, but straight-time
hours for the stewards department remained 48, as at sea.
Office building service--In San Francisco office buildings, the minimum hourly rate
for women cleaners was $1.17;
fOr Janitors, watchmen and elevator operators
(both men and
women), $1.25; and for elevator starters, $1.37. This pay compared with rates in Oakland of
$1.08, $1.17, and $1.26 for the same Jobs. Hours of wo r k for these employees were 40 a week
(table 26 ).
Printing--Union scales In the printing trades were identical (table 2 7 ) in both San
Francisco and Oakland. Hourly rates for workers in commercial printing shops were:
electro­
typers $2.73, hand compositors and cylinder pressmen $2.63, and bindery women $1.48. In news­
paper work, rates for day w ork were $ 2 .72 for compositors, $ 2 .6 l for web pressmen, and $2.44
for mailers.
In each of these classifications a differential of 13 cents was paid for night,
work. The scheduled workweek for the printing trades was 3 J ^ hours.
Stevedoring— The straight-time hourly scale for union longshoremen handling general
cargo was $ 1.9 2 in all ports of the Bay Area. Penalty rates
in lieu of the basic general
cargo scale were paid for handling specifically designated commodities. There were many such
penalty rates ranging from $ 2.02 for handling paper and pulp in packages of 300 pounds or
more to $3*74 for handling explosives. Hatch tenders and lift-truck-Jitney drivers had basic

5
rates 10 cents an h o u r more tha n the l o n g s h o reman
rate and p e n a l t y cargo rates, accordingly.
G an g tosses received b o t h the $ 2 . 0 7 w o r k i n g g e neral c a r g o rate and the
scaled p e n alty rates.

Insurance a nd P e n s i o n Plans

Insurance or pension plans financed wholly or in part by employers were in force in
establishments with 92 percent of Bay Area office employment and 82 percent of plant employ­
ment in January 1951.
In the transportation (except railroads),
communication,
and other
public utilities group, all employees were covered by some such benefit plans. Life-insurance
plans were the most commonly accepted security measures found in all industries, but health
and hospitalization Insurance and retirement pension plans were also reported throughout all
Industries by firms wi t h substantial numbers of enqjloyees (table 37 ).
