In tro d u c tio n 2 /
The New York area is one of several important industrial centers
in which the
Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted occupational wage surveys during early 1951* 2 / Occupa
tions that are 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) p r o
fessional and technical;
(c) maintenance and power plant;
(d) custodial, warehousing,
and
shipping. In presenting earnings information for such jobs (tables 1 through U) 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 sur
vey* 2 / Union scales are presented in lieu of (or supplementing)
occupational earnings for
several industries
or trades in w h ich 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, Bata have also bee n collected and suimnarized 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.
N e w Y o r k C ity
New York, the Nation*s largest city and seat of the United Nations, was in a flour
ishing state of economic activity
in April 1951* Factory employment stood at a near-record
high of almost 1 million workers. Department store sales were 7 percent above the previous
year,
nearly 3 million tons of shipping passed through the country*s busiest port during the
month, and 2 ,0 2 5 new dwelling units were started. Wages and prices of goods and services were
at peak levels during the period.
Labor and Industry in New Y ork City
The fiv e boroughs comprising New York City contain the world*s largest concentrated
population o f over 7^ m illio n people. T otal employment, including government, approximated
3 m illion in A pril 1951*
Of the estimated 1 million workers
in New York manufacturing establishments, more
than two-thirds were employed in nondurable goods industries. The most important among these
was apparel manufacturing with over 300,000 employees. A n additional 119,000 were engaged in
printing and publishing,
and over 8 0 ,0 0 0 worked in food manufacturing and processing indus
tries. Among durable goods industries,
metalworking establishments accounted for about a
third of the 305>0OO workers. Establishments manufacturing machinery, other than electrical,
employed about 3 6 ,0 0 0 workers.
l/ Prepared in the Bureau's Division of Wages and Industrial Relations by Theodore Allison
under the direction of Paul E. Warwick, Regional W a g e Analyst, Region II, New York, N. Y.
The planning and central direction of the program 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, Boston, Chicago, Denver, and San Francisco-Oakland.
Similar studies were conducted in 1950 In Buffalo, Denver, Philadelphia,
and San FranciscoOakland.
3/ See Appendix^A for discussion of scope and method of survey.
In New York, world-famed as a shopping center, nearly 387*000 persons were employed
In retail stores
In April 1951. About 270,000 additional workers were found in wholesale
outlets. Banking,
insurance,
and real estate firms, comprising the city's equally famous
financial community,
had close to 300,000 workers. A labor force of 276,000 was utilized in
transportation (other than railroads),
communication, and other public utilities.
Firms
supplying personal and business services,
technical services, and entertainment gave employ
ment to 322,000 workers. Central offices of more than 600 firms having branch establishments
throughout the country are concentrated in New York. They employed
over 96,000 persons.
Labor organizations represented nearly four out of five plant workers in the indus
tries and establishment size groups studied. The extent of organization varied among the
major industry divisions. In the utilities division over nine-tenths
of the plant workers
were employed in establishments having written contracts with unions. In manufacturing indus
tries the proportion was about nine-tenths, and in retail trade over one-half. The degree of
unionization among office workers was considerably less than among plant workers.
Slightly
more than one-eighth were employed In films having union contracts covering office workers.
Few union agreements covering office workers were negotiated in wholesale trade,
finance,
insurance,
and real estate and service industries. However,
over two-thirds of the office
workers in the utilities division and over two-fifths in retail trade were organized.
O c c u p a tio n a l W a g e
S tru c tu re
Collective bargaining in 195° resulted in very few general wage
increases before
the outbreak of hostilities in Korea. Those settlements which w ere concluded emphasized n o n
wage benefits, such as pension, health,
and welfare plans. During the early spring of 1950,
for example, pension plans were written into contracts covering about 2 8 ,0 0 0 gas and elec
trical utilities workers, while 8,000 New York bricklayers became
the first in their craft
anywhere in the United States to obtain a pension fund.
Bargaining action increased sharply after July, however, w i t h the acceleration of
Inflationary forces and the anticipation of the imposition of wage controls. Twelve thousand
building service employees were the first large group to achieve a substantial wage gain. The
number of general wage increases granted in the final quarter of 19 5 0 was particularly large.
In October, increases of more than 6 percent were given in the maritime industry. Soon there
after a gain of 1 2 ^ cents an hour was made by more than 30*000 men's clothing workers,
and
39*000 women's coat and suit workers received increases ranging up to $5 a week. These were
followed b y an 8 |-percent "package” increase for 66,000 women's dress workers. About 2^,000
utilities workers received a 5-cent increase in December.
January brought further gains for large numbers of w o r k e r s . Among these were a
1 0 -cent increase for 5*000 employees in the women's higher-priced footwear industry,
gains
ranging from 10 cents to 12-% cents for 8 ,2 0 0 employees of the city's privately-owned bus
lines,
and increases for 2 0 ,0 0 0 laundry employees amounting to 7 ? cents for inside workers,
and
to $5 a w e e k for drivers and helpers. For the entire post-Korean period, the average
across-the-board wage increase for plant workers in New York City was approximately 9 cents
an hour, with the majority ranging from 7 cents to 1 0 | cents.
Approximately three out of four plant and office workers were employed in estab
lishments having formalized rate structures. Slightly more than a third of the plant workers
were employed in plants having a single rate fhr each job, whereas two-fifths worked in plants
where rate Ganges were established for each occupation. Nearly all clerical rate structures
examined were
in the form of rate ranges. No formal rate plans existed in establishments
employing approximately one-fourth of all workers studied.
In these firms each worker was
paid according to individual merit or other considerations rather than on a job basis.
2.
In the following discussion of wages,
two main occupational groupings are distin
guished?
(l) cross-Industry occupations,
such as 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 from euployer payroll records. These occupations are usually
found in all or a number of industries.
In general,
the characteristic industry occupations
are peculiar to a specific Industry. As indicated "below, straight-time average rates or earn
ings are shown for some industries; union scales are shown for others.
Cross-Industry Occupations
Office clerical occupations— Of the 26 office occupations in which women's salaries
were studied, 22 showed average weekly earnings higher than $45 (table l). Among the largest
occupational groups of women office workers studied, average weekly earnings for secretaries
were $62.50, general stenographers received $49^50, and routine typists received $1*1. Average
salaries were concentrated in the narrow range between $47 and $5 2 a w e e k for 1 5 occupations
such as Coitqptome ter operators,
accounting clerks, general clerks, and switchboard operators.
The lowest paying office Jobs reported for women were those of routine file clerk and office
girl, w h o averaged $ 38 and $35.50*
respectively. The highest paid w o men employees
studied
received $ 6 5 p er w e e k as hand bookkeepers. For one-third of the jobs studied the highest
average salaries were received b y employees of central offices. A generally high level, of
clerical earnings was also found in wholesale trade and transportation (excluding railroads),
communication, and other public utilities.
Highest average salaries
for men office workers were those of private secretaries
and hand bookkeepers.
These groups received $74.50 and $73.50* respectively.
Office boys,
at $35.50, were the lowest paid. Clerks' salaries averaged $60 a week, with accounting clerks
receiving $59;
payroll clerks, $62.50; and order clerks, $6 3 . The level of earnings for men
in offices of manufacturing plants was generally higher than in nonmanufacturing industries.
Average weekly salaries of N e w York City office workers in April 1951 were generally
between 4 and 10 percent higher than those reported in comparable jobs studied in the Bureau's
previous salary survey of February 1950. The most common increases reported were from $1.50
to $3 per week.
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 1 1 industries reflects straight-time earnings
derived from employer payroll records.
Men's and boys' suits and coats— Average earnings
for m e n employed In most of the
job categories studied in the men's clothing industry exceeded $1.90 an hour. Payment on an
incentive basis is prevalent in the Industry, w i t h the result that earnings of more than $3
a n hour were reported for many individual workers. M e n employed as sewing-machine operators
averaged $1.93 working on trousers and $2.14 working on coats. Hand finish pressers of coats
also earned $2.14 on the average; machine finish pressers earned $2.11.
Cutters and markers
averaged $2.48 a n hour.
W o m e n employed
In coat fabrication as hand sewers averaged $1.47 sewing buttons,
$1.55 making buttonholes, and $1.27 in finishing operations. Hand sewers working on trousers
averaged $ 1 . 3 6 a n hour. W o m e n machine operators sewing coats received $1.64 an hour and those
sewing trousers received $ 1 . 5 9 (table 5 ).
Women's and misses' dresses— In August 1950,
data were collected for the New York
City women's and misses' dress industry,
in which the preponderance
of establishments are
organized b y the International Ladies' Garment Workers' Union (AFL). Average hourly earnings
ranged from 97 cents for thread trimmers to $3.02 a n hour for hand pressers (table 6 ). Hand
sewers averaged $1.45. Sewing-machine operators working on the section system, whereby each
operator fabricates only part of a garment,
averaged $1.39# Those working on a single hand
or tailor system averaged $2.02. Cutters and markers averaged $2.54 an hour. These data do
not reflect the following wage increases which became effective
in union shops December 18,
19 5 0 : 6|-percent increase in all piece rates; weekly increases of $ 5 for cutters and graders;
$4 for sample makers,
drapers and special machine operators;
and $3 for examiners, pinkers,
and cleaners.
Professional and technical occupations— Industrial registered nurses averaged $64.50
a w e e k in April 1951
ln~*New York City
(table 2). The average earnings for men working as
draftsmen ranged from $114.50 for chief draftsmen to $62 per w e e k for junior
draftsmen.
Men's and hoys' dress shirts and nightwear— M e n employed as sewing-machine opera
tors averaged $1.35* W o m e n sewing-machine
operators averaged $1.20 (table 7)# W o m e n making
buttonholes and sewing buttons by machine received $1.17 eund $1.04,
respectively. Thread
trimmers were the lowest-paid group of women workers,
averaging 90 cents an hour. Data r e
ported relate to a November 1950 payroll period;
however,
no general wage changes were re
ported in the industry between that date and April 1951.
Maintenance and power plant occupations--Among such skilled maintenance employees
as carpenters,
millwrights, mechanics, pipe fitters, and sheet-metal workers, average hourly
earnings ranged
from $1.81 to $ 1 .8 7 . Machinists and electricians averaged $1.92 an hour.
Hourly earnings of maintenance trades helpers averaged $1.42 (table 3).
Paints and varnishes— Varnish makers averaged $1.74 a n hour In New York City in
March 1951 (table 8 ). The largest group studied were mixers whose average earnings were $1.49
an hour. Lowest earnings for m e n workers among the jobs studied were reported for labelers
and packers, and hand truckers at $1.42 an hour.
Stationary engineers,
responsible for the operation of equipment supplying power,
heat, refrigeration, or air conditioning, received average earnings of $ 1 .9 5 * somewhat higher
than those received by maintenance craftsmen. Stationary boiler firemen averaged $1.58 in
April 1951.
Women's cement process shoes— Hourly earnings as of September 1950 for selected oc
cupations in plants manufacturing women's conventional lasted cement-process
footwear are
presented in table 9. Early in 1 9 5 1 more than half the firms studied granted an increase of
10 cents a n hour to all plant workers. Average hourly earnings for a majority of the
jobs
studied were over $2 , with machine edge trimmers receiving $2 .5 5 , hand vamp and whole shoe
cutters,making $2.30,
and fancy stitchers earnings $2.22. Treers averaged $1.93 per hour.
Custodial, w a rehousing and shipping occupations--Among custodial occupations, which
are relatively unskilled, average hourly earnIngs were $ 1 .2 0 for watchmen; $1 . 2 2 for janitors,
porters, and cleaners, and $1.37 for guards. Women cleaners received $1.07 an hour. Shippingand-receiving clerks averaged $ 1 .1*2 an hour,
1 cent more than employees w h o handled shipping
only and 3 cents an hour more than those who handled receiving only.
The average pay for hand truckers and stock handlers was $1.44 an hour, whereas
power truckers averaged $1.71*
or 2 7 cents more. Truck drivers on medium sized trucks aver
aged $ 1 . 7 7 an hour and those driving heavy trucks received $1 . 9 6 (table 4).
Children's stitchdown shoes— Data reported in table 1 0 for this portion of the foot
wear industry relate to a September 1950 payroll period. Since the survey date,
all firms
studied gave a 10 cent hourly across-the-board increase. Thread
lasters earnings $2.17 per
hour were the highest paid among the m en workers studied in September 1950 • Other average
earnings reported for m en included $1.83 for machine vamp and whole shoe cutters,
$1.89 for
Goodyear stitchers, $2.01 for fancy stitchers, and $1.83 for vanpers. Average hourly earnings
of w o men in the jobs studied ranged from $1.45 for fancy stitchers,
to 98 cents
for floor
girls.
3.
Machinery Industries--Data shown for. machinery industries relate to a January 1951
pay period
(table 11). Only 4 of the 4l firms studied granted general wage increases since
the survey date. Assemblers constituted the largest occupational group studied, with class A
workers earning $1.94 an hour, class B $1.72, and class C $1.34.
The highest average hourly
pay among the jobs studied was $2.03 for tool-and-die makers
in jobbing shops. The average
hourly earnings for top grade men among operators of machine tools, such as drill presses and
engine lathes, ranged between $1.84 and $ 1 .9 6 ; for the next highest skill level,
between
$ 1 . 5 3 and $ 1 .6 9 ; and for workers on routine repetitive operations, between $ 1 . 2 7 and $ 1 .3 6 .
Building service employees— The highest minimum rate reported for unionized b u i l d
ing service employees w as $73 Per week fbr window washers and the lowest was $42 for charwomen.
The basic weekly wage under other union contracts varied with the size and type of building
(table 18). The union scales prevailing in office buildings were higher than those in a p a r t
ment or loft buildings. The basic weekly scales in the largest office buildings were $64.83
for handymen,
$ 6 2 .8 3 for starters;
and $5 8 .8 3 for elevator operators and porters.
A weekly
schedule of 4o hours was provided by union agreement
in office and loft buildings, whereas a
48-hour w e e k prevailed in apartment houses.
Banking--Men employed as tellers in New York banks averaged more than $60 a w e e k in
April 1951* with note tellers receiving $67.50;
savings tellers, $ 6 6 ; commercial tellers,
$65.50;
and all-around tellers, $ 6l (table 12). Guards earned $54 and cleaners earned $51 a
week. W o m e n operating proof machines averaged $45 a week,
and those handling a limited se
quence of operations
on a bookkeeping machine received $42, Average weekly salaries
for
stenographers and copy typists were $49 and $39*50, respectively.
Local transit operating employees--Union rates for subway conductors varied, accord
ing to length-of-service and position worked,
from $1.46 to $1.56 In April 1951*
Motormen
with 1 year of service received $1.70.
Operators of street cars (which have largely b e e n r e
placed by busses) received $1.66 after 1 year of service. Most union contracts provided that
bus drivers reach the top of the wage scale after 2 years of service.
Top rates varied from
$1.55 to $1,775 for drivers of the famous Fifth Avenue double-deck busses (table 19).
Insurance carriers— The highest average weekly salary reported among the jobs stud
ied in insurance companies
(table 13) was the $66 received by men hand bookkeepers. Tabulating-machine operators, the largest group of men workers, received $50.50 per week.
The bulk
of the employees studied were women whose earnings ranged from $ 3 6 .5 0 for routine file clerks
to $60.50 for secretaries.
Copy typists, with average weekly earnings of $40, were the larg
est occupational group studied. Another large group of workers were general stenographers
whose salaries averaged $47.
Malt liquors— Brewers and bottlers received minimum w e ekly wages of $79*50 In New
Yo r k City in April 1951. The same pay scale was also provided for maintenance and automobile
mechanics and platform men. A basic workweek of 37 l/2 hours was indicated for these occupa
tions. Engineers and firemen, who worked at straight-time for 40 hours, received $101.50 and
$84.50, respectively (table 2 0 ).
Pcarer laundries— Hourly earnings
for most of the women
in the jobs studied were
under $1. The largest occupational group studied, machine flatwork finishers,
averaged 85
cents per hour (table 14). The highest paid group of woiren workers were machine shirt pressers
at $1.04 a n hour. Men employed as retail receiving clerks and identifiers received $1.09 an
hour, while extractor operators averaged $ 1 . 1 2 and machine washers, $1.41.
Auto repair shops— Hourly earnings for class A automobile mechanics averaged $ 1 .8 7 .
Those on simpler jobs received $1.46.
Body repairmen averaged $1.93 and automotive electri
cians earned $1.94 per hour. The only jobs studied in which workers averaged less than $1.45
an hour were greasers at $ 1 . 2 6 and automobile washers at $ 1 . 2 0 (table 1 5 ).
Union Vage Scales
The information reported for the following nine industries relates to the minimum
wage rates and maximum straight-time hours per week agreed upon through collective bargaining
between employers and trade-unions. The union scales and hours reported were those in effect
April 1, 1951.
Bakeries--Union wage scales in the New York bakeries varied both by agreement
and type of product bakBd
(table 16). Minimum rates in hand shops for foremen, first hands,
mixers and oven workers baking bread and cake ranged from $1,894 to $2.10.
In machine shops,
the scale for foremen,
mixers,
and ovenmen ranged from $1.62 to $2.18 per hour.
In Hebrew
bake shops, hourly rates for first hands ranged from $2 , 1 3 3 to $2 .5 0 in hand shops and from
$2,125 to $2,268 in machine shops. Most agreements specified 40 as the maximum straight-time
hours per week. However,
some agreements provided for overtime after 42, 4 5 , or 48 hours.
Building construction--Basic hourly rates
for
typical journeymen
construction
workers in April 1951 were:
for painters, $2.60; for carpenters, glaziers, lathers, plumbers
and roofers, $3.00;
for electricians, $3*20; and for bricklayers, $3.25; (table 17). Build
ing} laborers received a union wage of $2.15 an hour. Rates effective in Manhattan generally
prevailed in the other boroughs of New York City,
though plumbers and painters received an
additional 10 and 15 cents a n hour, respectively, In Brooklyn and Queens. Lathers, plasterers,
and plasters1 helpers were paid overtime after 30 hours per week. The other trades worked at
straights time for either 35 or 40 hours.
Motortruck drivers and helpers— Union scales for motortruck drivers varied by the
size of truck and materials transported (table 21). Drivers of trucks carrying heavy or bulky
items generally received relatively high pay, such as $ 1 .9 0 for beer truck drivers, $2 .0 0 for
drivers of dump trucks and concrete-mixer trucks used in building construction, and $1,844 an
hour for drivers operating fuel oil and coal trucks. Somewhat lower hourly scales were found
for drivers engaged in lighter hauling such as clothing delivery ($1 ,3 7 5 ) and department store
delivery ($1 ,6 7 5 ). Railway express drivers received $1,775 an hour. Most contracts provided
for a maximum workweek of 40 hours at straight-time rates.
Ocean transport--Among offshore unlicensed maritime personnel,
the basic monthly
wages for deck and engine-room occupations were higher on many tankers than for similar jobs
on dry cargo and passenger vessels (table 2 2 ).
The union scales for ordinary seamen and able seamen of dry cargo an d passenger v e s
sels were $2 1 3 .7 9 and- $248.41 per month,
respectively. Rates for comparable jobs on tankers
were $2 2 0 .0 9 and $ 2 5 1 .5 5 .
Monthly rates for day men in the engine r oom department of dry cargo and passenger
vessels were $2 8 3 .0 1 for deck engineers, $314.48 for unlicensed junior engineers, and $ 3 9 5 .6 6
for electricians. These same rates applied to electricians and unlicensed junior engineers on
tankers.
For standing watch,
the union scale was $248.41 for oilers and watertenders on dry
cargo and passenger vessels, $3.14 less than the scale on tankers.
In the stewards department, rates ranged from $651*78 per month for chief stewards on
class 1 passenger vessels to $2 1 3 .7 9 for messmen on all types of vessels.
The maximum number of hours at straight-time rates at sea are fixed at 44 for daymen
of the deck department and engine-room department, and 48 for w a tch m e n and stewards. At sea,
the watch standers and stewards' normally work a 5 6 -hour week,
receiving overtime pay for 8
hours (Sunday). In port, all men receive overtime rates for w o r k on Saturday and Sunday.
Printing— Union scales fbr bindery women in book and job shops in New Y o r k City ranged
from $1.00 to $1,233 a n hour. Bookbinders engaged in unskilled machine operations received 95
cents an hour. However, most other bindery occupations were relatively skilled and were paid
rates in excess of $2 a n hour. Union scales In printing occupations were $2,483 F o r hand c o m
positors, $ 3 * 2 9 for photoengravers, and $2 , 5 1 3 for most cylinder pressmen.
k
In newspaper work, hourly rates far day w ork were $2,828 for hand compositors, $3.06
for photoengravers, $2 ,0 8 5 for mailers, and $ 2 , 7 1 3 for wet pressmen (table 2 3 ).
Stevedoring— On the New York City docks the hourly scale for longshoremen handling
general cargo wa s $2 in April 1951 • Differentials were paid for handling difficult or danger
ous cargo and ranged from an additional 5 cents per hour far bulk cargo to $ 1 . 9 0 per hour for
explosives (table 2 k ) .
M i n i m u m Entrance Rates
Established minimum entrance rates fbr the employment of inexperienced plant workers
were included in the formalized rate structure in New York firms employing over nine-tenths of
the plant workers in all industries (table 2 5 ). Although entrance rates set by individual es
tablishments ranged from less than 50 cents to more than $ 1 .5 0 an hour, 7 5 cents was the min i
m u m rate in firms furnishing nearly one-fourth of the total employment. The 75-cent rate was
also the lowest reported for establishments in manufacturing and wholesale trade. Minimum
entrance rates of less than 7 5 cents a n hour were found in retail trade establishments employ
ing about a tenth of the plant workers in that industry, and in service firms employing a third
of the workers in the services studied. About two-fifths of all plant workers were employed
in establishments having formal entrance rates ranging between 7 5 cents and $ 1 per hour.

Shift Differentials
Extra-shift operations,
generally second shifts, accounted for an eighth of all
production workers employed in manufacturing. Two-thirds of these workers were employed
in
nondurable goods industries. Almost all manufacturing establishments paid shift differentials,
coranonly a cents-par-hour differential over day-shift rates. However,
a percentage differ
ential wa s paid to nearly all extra-shift workers in machinery industries, and to more than
half of these workers in all durable goods industries combined.
In nondurable goods industries a 5 cents-per-hour differential was paid to a third
of the extra-shift workers,
and a differential of 10 cents or more per hour was given to all
others.
In durable goods industries, the prevailing differential was 10 percent or more of 1he
day rate (table 2 6 ).
group, where most office workers received 1 1 or 12 holidays a year, and in transportation, com
munication, and other public utilities, where almost half of all workers were entitled to 1 1
holidays annually.
Paid Vacations
Virtually all office workers and most of the plant workers in New Y ork City were e m
ployed in firms allowing vacations wi t h pay after a year of service. Nine out of ten office
workers were in establishments that granted 2 w e e k s ’ vacation after 1 year, compared to about
k out of 10 plant workers w h o
were entitled to the same vacation period (table 2 9 ). Half of
the plant workers received 1 w e e k after 1 year of service, but after 2 years more than half the
plant workers were granted 2 weeks.* After 1 5 years of service, establishments providing paid
vacations of 3 weeks or more accounted for 2 out of every 3 office workers as contrasted to 1
out of every 3 plant workers.
Paid Sick Leave
Formal provisions for paid sick leave after 1 year of service were provided by estab
lishments employing over a fourth of the office workers and almost a fifth of the plant workers
(table 30)* The number of days of pa y granted to employees for absence due to sickness varied
among firms and among industrial groupings. A larger proportion of office workers than plant
workers were granted 10 or mare days' sick leave after 1 year of service. The most liberal
plans were provided for workers in central offices.
Although the percentage of all workers employed in firms granting paid sick leave
rose only slightly as the length of service increased, the percentage employed in transporta
tion, communication, and other public utilities rose until it covered two-thirds of the office
workers and a third of the plant workers after 15 years of service. Certain firms in all in
dustrial divisions provided paid sick leave after 6 months of service; in all industries com
bined,
these firms employed a fifth of the
office workers and about an eighth of the plant
workers.
Nonproduction Bonuses
Almost half of the office workers and nearly three-tenths of the plant workers in
New York City received some type of norproduction bonus, w ith the Christmas or year-end bonus
predominating (table 31) • The industry group with the highest proportion of workers receiving
nonproduction bonuses was finance, insurance, and real estate, wi t h about three-fifths of the
office workers receiving such bonuses. Almost half of the nonoffice workers in retail trade
received nonproduction bonuses.
Insurance and Pension Plans
Scheduled Wo r k w e ek
Four-fifths of the w o m e n office workers in all industries were on a scheduled w o r k
w e e k of lesb than ^0 hours, w i t h nearly half on a 35-hour weekly schedule. The highest p r o
portion working a 4 0 -hour weekly schedule were employed in durable-goods manufacturing indus
tries, retail trade,
and services ( table 2 7 ). The typical workweek for plant workers in all
industries was ^0 hours.
However, a fifth of the plant workers, found chiefly in manufactur
ing, retail trade, and public utilities, had scheduled workweek b of more than ^0 hours.
Paid Holidays
Provisions far paid holidays were in effect for practically all office workers and
for approximately nine-tenths
of the plant workers. About two-thirds of the office workers
were in firms that provided from 9 to 12 paid holidays a year, whereas a majority of plant
workers were in firms that provided from 6 to 8 holidays (table 28) . On a broad industry basis,
the largest number of paid holidays were provided in the finance,
insurance, and real estate
Over 90 percent of the office workers and 80 percent of the plant workers were in
establishments having some form of insurance or pension plan financed either wholly cr in part
b y the employer. Life insurance, the most popular type of benefit plan reported, was provided
b y firms employing nearly 85 percent of the office workers and 70 percent of the plant w o r k e r s .
Health insurance was available in establishments accounting for over half of both the plant
and office worker employment.
Retirement pension plans covered a much higher proportion of the office than of the
plant employees.
Sixty-five percent of the office workers surveyed in the New York area were
in establishments having pension plans as contrasted w i t h 3 7 percent of the plant workers so
covered. The industry groups wi t h the highest proportion of workers covered were transporta
tion, comsunication, and other public utilities; central offices; and finance, insurance, and
real estate. Lowest coverage for plant workers prevailed in the service
industries and for
office workers in durable goods manufacturing Industries (table 3 2 ).

208 establishments with 9,193 workers were actually studied* Data relate to an August 1950 payroll period and do not reflect the following general wage increases granted December 18, 1950 by all union shops, which
comprised over 90 percent of the establishments studied: 6J- percent added to all piece rates; $5 per week to cutters and graders; $4 per week to sample makers, drapers and special machine operators; $3 per week
to examiners, cleaners and pinkers* Likewise, no adjustment has been made to reflect an increase in union minimum effective February 1, 1951*
2/ Exclude premimum pay for overtime and nightwork*

Appendix A
“
Bcepo and M ethod
Busutey
A greater proportion of large than of small establishments was studied In order to maximize the
number of workers surveyed with available resources. Each group of establishments of a certain size, how
ever, was given its proper weight in the combination of data by industry and occupation.
With the exception of the union scale of rates, information presented in this bulletin was col
lected by visits of field representatives of the Bureau to representative establishments in the area sur
veyed. In classifying workers by occupation, uniform job descriptions were used; they are presented in
Appendix B.
The earnings information in the report excludes premium pay for overtime and night work. Ncnproduction bonuses are also excluded, but incentive earnings, including commissions for salespersons, have been
included for those workers employed under some form of incentive wage system. Where weekly hours are re
ported as for office clerical, they refer to the work schedules for which the salaries are paid rounded to
the nearest half-hour; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest 50
cents. The number of workers presented refers to the estimated total employment in all establishments within
the scope of the study and not to the number actually surveyed. Data are shown for only fill time workers,
i.e., those who were hired to work the establishment's full-time schedule of hours for the given occupa
tional classification.
Six broad industry divisions and central offices were covered in compiling earnings data for the
following types of occupations: (a) office clerical, (b) professional and technical, (c) maintenance and
power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing and shipping (tables 1 through 4)* The covered industry group
ings are: manufacturing; transportation (except railroads), communication, and other public utilities; whole
sale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; services; and central offices. Information
on work schedules and supplementary benefits was also obtained in a representative group of establishments
in each of these industry divisions. As indicated in table A, only establishments above a certain size were
studied. Smaller establishments were omitted because they furnished insufficient employment in the occupa
tions studied to warrant their inclusion in the study.
Information on wage practices refers to all office workers and to all plant workers as specified
in the individual tables. It is presented in terms of the proportion of all workers employed in offices (or
plant departments) that observe the practice in question, except in the section relating to women office
workers of the table summarizing scheduled weekly hours. Because of eligibility requirement^ the proportion
actually receiving the specific benefits may be smaller. The summary of vacation and sick leave plans is
limited to formal arrangements. It excludes informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the dis
cretion of the employer or other supervisor. Sick leave plans are further limited to those providing full
pay for at least some amount of time off without any provision for a waiting period preceding the payment of
benefits, and exclude health insurance even though it is paid by the employer. Health insurance is included,
however, under tabulations for insurance and pension plans.
Among the industries in which characteristic jobs were studied, minimum size of establishment and
extent of the area covered were determined separately for each industry, and are indicated in table B. Al
though size limits frequently varied from those established for surveying cross-industry office and plant
jobs, data for these jobs were included only for firms which satisfied the size requirements of the broad
industry divisions.

The primary purpose o f the Bureau’ s Job description s is to a s s is t it s f i e l d
s ta ff in cla ss ify in g workers who are employed under a, v a riety o f p a yroll t i t l e s and
d iffe re n t work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area,
into appropriate occupations. This is esse n tia l in order to permit the grouping o f o c
cupational wage rates representing comparable Job content. Because o f th is emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea com parability o f occupational content, the Bureau’ s
Job descriptions d if f e r s ig n ific a n tly from those in use in individual establishments or
those prepared f o r other purposes. In view o f these sp e cia l ch a ra cte ristics o f the
Bureau’ s Job d escrip tion s, th e ir adoption without m odification by any sin gle esta b lish
ment or fo r any other purpose than that indicated herein is not recommended.
Where

are generally c la s s ifie d according to the most s k ille d or responsible duties that are a
regular part o f th eir Job and that are sig n ific a n t in determining th e ir value to the
