Introduction y
The Dayton area is one cf several important industrial
centers in which the Bureau of labor Statistics conducted occu­
pational wage surveys during the summer of 1951 o 2/ Occupations
that are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufactur­
ing 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) of­
fice; (b) professional and technical; (c) maintenance and power
plant; (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping* In presenting
earnings information for such jobs (tables A-l through A-4)
separate data have been provided wherever possible for individ­
ual 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*
Earnings data for these jobs have been presented in
Series B tables* Union scales (Series C tables) 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 practices*
Data have also been
operations and differentials,
benefits such as vacation and
days, nonproduction bonuses,

collected and summarized on shift
hours of work, and supplementary
sick leave allowances, paid holi­
and insurance and pension plans*

The Dayton Metropolitan Area
Total population of the Dayton Metropolitan Area (Mont­
gomery and Greene counties) was more than 450,000 in 1950, a 38
percent increase since 1940* More than half lived in Dayton*

1/ Prepared in the Bureau’s regional office in Chicago, H I #
by Woodrow C* Linn under the direction of George E* Votava, Re­
gional Wage Analyst* The planning and central direction of the
program was carried on in the Branch of Community Wage Studies
of the Bureau’s Division of Wages and Industrial Relations*
2/ Other areas studied are: Baltimore, Bridgeport, Dallas,
and Portland (Qreg*). Similar studies were conducted earlier in
the year in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, New York and the
San Erancisco-Qakland area*
jJ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey*



Dayton’s position as an important industrial area is
indicated by the heavy concentration of employment in the manu­
facturing industries* Although Dayton’s industrial plants today
are primarily those which were in existence during the prewar
period, employment was twice as great in June 1951 as in 1939©
Exclusive of establishments employing 20 or fewer workers ij%
247 manufacturing plants provided employment to more than 9^000
workers, as compared with a total of 381 nonmanufacturing firms
with 26,500 workers * More than three-quarters of the workers in
manufacturing were employed in durable-goods manufacturing in­
dustries, the others in nondurable-goods industries* j>/

Nfetalworking plants employed 95 percent of the work­
ers in the durable-goods industries, with nonelectrical machin­
ery plants alone employing about two-thirds of the workers o The
transportation equipment, electrical machinery; and primary met­
als industries were also large*
The major nondurable goods
manufacturing industries in Dayton were rubber products, print­
ing and publishing, food and kindred products, and paper and
allied products*

Dayton plants manufactured a variety of products such
as accounting and bookkeeping machines, air conditioning and
ventilating equipment, autographic registers, bearings, cash
registers, electric refrigerators, printing presses, pumps,
precision gages, scales, and tools and dies0 Other significant
Dayton-made products are aircraft and automotive parts and ac­
cessories, tires, bicycles, castings and forgings, crackers,
cement, chemicals, electric motors, optical lenses and prisms,
paints and varnishes, paper products, and molded plastic prod­
ucts*
Dayton is also the hub of a wide trading area* Ap­
proximately 16,000 sales persons and distribution workers were
employed in retail establishments with 21 or more workers ij,
and 3,200 employees were working in wholesale trade* Exclusive
of the substantial employment in the railroad industry, a labor
force of 5,500 was required by the transportation, communica­
tion, and other public utilities industry group*
Service in­
dustries employed 4,100 persons in such diverse fields as auto­
mobile and other repair shops, laundries, cleaning and dyeing
establishments, hotels, theaters, radio and television stations
and business service establishments*
The finance, insurance,
and real estate industries employed 1,700 white collar workers*

ij See appendix for discussion of size of establishments
studied*
5/ See appendix table for listing of durable and nondurable
goods industries*

Located in the Dayton area is Wright-Patters on Air
Force Base, the site of the headquarters of the Air Force Air
Msiterial Command. This command is charged with the engineering,
research, experimental development, and procurement of all air­
craft parts and Supplies and employs a substantial number of
civilian employees.

Among the industries and establishment-size groups
studied by the Bureau, over three-fourths of the workers in nonoffice jobs were employed in establishments having written
agreements with labor organizations. About seven in every eight
workers in manufacturing plants were employed in union estab­
lishments.
In nonmanufacturing firms about two in every five
employees were represented by labor organizations. The propor­
tion of office workers covered by union contract provisions was
considerably lower than for plant workers. less than one-fifth
of all office workers were working under the terms of collective
bargaining agreements.

Occupational Wage Structure
Wages and salaries of half of the workers in Dayton
manufacturing industries in June 1951 were geared to the costof-living through escalator clauses providing for wage changes
based on the Bureaufs Consumers1 Price Index.
Examination of
data on general wage changes granted during the period January
1950 - June 1951 indicated that nearly three-fifths of the es­
tablishments studied had formally adjusted wage and salary scales
upward. Prior to the Korean outbreak relatively few increases
were granted. Subsequent wage adjustments became widespread and
were gathering momentum at the time of the January 26 wage
"freeze*. Wage revisions since that date have been subject to
Wage Stabilization Board regulations.

Formalized rate structures providing a range of rates
for office occupations were reported in establishments employ­
ing about three-fifths of all office workers. Very few office
workers were found working under single rate plans; and over a
third were employed in establishments that determined salaries
on an individual basis.
Nearly 40 percent of the plant workers in the manu­
facturing industries were paid incentive rates. A similar pro­




portion in the machinery industry was paid incentive rates. In­
centive methods of wage payment were negligible in the nonmanu­
facturing industries, except for commissions paid to salespersons
in retail trade establishments.
Over 90 percent of the plant workers were employed in
establishments that had formal rate structures for time-rated
employees; these workers were fairly evenly distributed between
plans providing rate.ranges and single rates for each job. The
remainder of the plant workers were employed in establishments
using individual rate determination for time workers.
Most Dayton firms visited had established minimum en­
trance rates for hiring inexperienced plant workers.
Although
entrance rates ranged from less than 60 cents to more than
$1.40, $1 was the minimum rate in establishments giving employ­
ment to nearly 70 percent of all plant workers. A 75-cent min­
imum rate was the lowest reported in manufacturing; wholesale
trade; and transportation, communication,and other public util­
ities.
Minimum entrance rates of less than 75 cents an hour
were found in the retail trade and service industries.
Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing indus­
tries were generally higher than in nonmanufacturing. In 22 of
28 office job classifications permitting comparison, salaries
of workers in manufacturing plants averaged $1 to $12.50 more a
week. Average hourly earnings for plant jobs studied in all in­
dustries were higher for 18 of 21 job categories for which com­
parisons were possible.

Over one-fifth of the workers in Dayton area manufac­
turing plants were employed on second and third shift opera­
tions in June 1951. Almost all of the extra-shift workers were
paid shift differentials. In durable-goods manufacturing, work­
ers were usually paid a percentage differential over first-shift
rates. In nondurable goods about half received a cents-per-hour
differential and the others a percentage over day-shift rates.

Three quarters of the women office workers in all in­
dustries were scheduled to work & 40-hour week in June 1951*
Schedules of 40 hours or more were common for office workers ir
all industry groups except finance, insurance, and real estate.
Two-fifths of the workers in these offices were scheduled to
work less than 40 hours.
Over 70 percent of the plant workers
were also on a 40-hour workwee. Most of the others were on an
extended work schedule.

Appendix

Scope

With the exception of the union scale of rates, infor­
mation presented in this bulletin was collected by visits of
field representatives of the Bureau to representative establish­
ments in the area surveyed. In classifying workers by occupation,
uniform job descriptions were used; these are available upon
request.

Six broad industry divisions 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
A-l through A-4). The covered industry groupings are: manufac­
turing; transportation (except railroads), communication, and
other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance,
insurance, and real estate; and services. Information on work
schedules and supplementary benefits also was obtained 3n a repre­
sentative group of establishments in each of these industry di­
visions. As indicated in the following table only establish­
ments above a certain size were studied. Smaller establishments
were omitted because they furnished insufficient employment in
the occupations studied to warrant their inclusion in the study.

Among the industries in which characteristic jobs
were studied, minimum size of establishment and extent of the
area covered were determined separately for each indtistry (see
‘
following table). Although size limits frequently varied from
those established for surveying cross-industry office and plant
jobs, data for these jobs were Included only for firms meeting
the size requirements of the broad industry divisions.

A greater proportion of large than of small establish­
ments was studied In order to maximize the number of workers
surveyed with available resources. Each group of establishments




id Method of Survey

of a certain size, however, was given its proper weight in the
combination of data by industry and occupation.

The earnings Information excludes premium pay for over­
time and night work. Nonproduction bonuses are also excluded,
but cost-of-living bonuses and incentive earnings, including com­
missions for salespersons, are included. Where weekly hours are
reported as for office clerical* they refer to the work schedules
(rounded to the nearest half-hour) for which the straight-time
salaries are paid; 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 es­
tablishments within the scope of the study and not to the number
actually surveyed. Data are shown for only full-time workers,
i.e., those hired to work the establishments full-time schedule
for the given occupational classification.

Information on wage practices refers to all office
and 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 eli­
gibility requirements, 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
som amount of time off without any provision for a waiting peri­
od preceding the payment of benefits. These plans also exclude
health insurance even though it is paid for by employers. Health
insurance Is included, however, under tabulations for insurance
and pension plans.
