Occupations that are characteristio 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 seales (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 min-iimim 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* Prepared in the Bureau's regional office in San Francisco, Calif, by John L* Dana, Regional 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 Dayton* Similar studies were conducted earlier in the year in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, New York and the San Francisco-Qakland area* 2 / See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey* The Portland Metropolitan Area Portland and neighboring cities and towns in the fourcounty metropolitan area (Claokamus, Miltnomah, and Washington counties in Oregon and Clark county in Washington) had a combin ed population of more than 550,000 in 1950* About two-thirds of the population lived in Portland. Excluding agricultural pursuits and government, more than 185,000 wage and salary earners were employed in the area in mid-1951* A little more than a third (62,000) worked in approximately 1,A00 manufacturing establishments producing pro cessed foods, pulp and paper, wood products, machinery, and a host of other products valued at mare than a half-billion dol lars annually. Although Portland is widely known as the lumber capital of the Pacific Northwest,the lumber and timber products industry with 12,000 employees ranked second in the area in June 1951 in terms of employment* Despite some seasonality in employ ment, this position is held throughout the year in relation to the metalworking industries which had 16,000 employees in June* Other leading manufacturing industries in the area were— food processing with 10,000, pulp and paper products with 7,000, tex tiles and apparel with 5,000,printing and publishing with 4,000, and furniture with 2,000. Situated at the confluence of the Columbia and Will amette Rivers, Portland is one of the leading ports on the Pacif ic Coast* Much of the vast resources in agricultural produce and timber products of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana moves through its piers and docks 0 This importance as a distri bution center is reflected in the relatively large number of employees engaged in trade* About 38,000 sales and related dis tribution workers were employed in retail trade and 18,000 were employed in wholesale trade at the time of the survey* The service industries provided employment for approximately 22,000 workers and a slightly smaller number were employed in trans portation, communication, and other public utilities* The buildind industry employed 13,000. Financial institutions including insurance carriers and real estate operators employed an esti mated 10,000* 2 Among the industry and establishment-size groups sur veyed in June 1951, more than four-fifths of the plant workers were employed in establishments having written contracts with labor organizations. Collective bargaining, in large part, is of the multi-employer, industry-wide, master-agreement type in Portland* Notable examples of labor-management relations on this scale are in the paper and pulp, lumbering, and metalwork ing industries in manufacturing; and in milk and dairy products and the maritime Industry in nonmanufaoturing. The proportion of office workers employed under union contract provisions was considerably lower than for plant work ers* Less than a tenth were employed under the terms of collec tive bargaining agreements* Chly in the public utilities group of industries and in retail trade was unionization in offices found to any appreciable degree. Occupational W age Structure Wage rates were increased for nearly all plant work ers in Portland manufacturing establishments between January 1950 and June 1951* General salary increases for office work ers were reported in about half the manufacturing establishments during the period* Ch the whole, office workers receiving in creases gained amounts similar to those allowed plant workers* These pay raises ranged from 5 to more than 15 cents cm hour, but for almost four-fifths of the plant workers increases were from 10 cents upward* In the nondurable-goods manufacturing industries (J increases tended toward higher amounts than those in durable-goods manufacturing, largely reflecting gains made by workers in the printing and publishing, and the paper and pulp industries* Ch the other hand, some completed negotiations in durable goods - notably in the lumber and sawmilling indus try - called for substantial increases which were not in force at the time of the survey since Wage Stabilization Board sanc tion had not yet been obtained* ij See appendix table for listing of durable and nondurablegoods industries* General wage increases were granted to slightly more than half the plant workers in nonmanufaoturing establishments during the period* Office workers were included in these acrossthe-board adjustments in about half the cases* Pay raises in manufacturing and nonmanufaoturing varied widely in amount but a majority of both plant and office workers receiving increases gained from 1 to 12 cents an hour* Formalized wage and salary structure for both plant and office workers were found in a large proportion of Portland establishments* Wage structures setting a single rate for each occupational classification predominated for plant workers, whereas a range of rates was the typical plan for office work ers* Established minimum entrance rates for plant workers with no previous work experience were a part of the formalized rate structures of a majority of Portland area firms* Over 80 per cent of the workers were employed in establishments having es tablished minimum rates for inexperienced workers* These minima ranged from less than 60 cents to more than $1.70 an hour, and no specified rate was typical of the area as a whole. The high est rates were generally found in the durable-goods manufactur ing industries and the lowest in retail trade* Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing indus tries were generally higher than those in nonmanufaoturing* In 19 of 2A office classifications permitting comparison, salaries of workers in manufacturing plants exceeded those of workers in nonmanufaoturing establishments* Average hourly earnings for plant workers studied in all industries were slightly higher in manufacturing far 15 of 2A job categories for which comparisons were possible* A fourth of the workers in the Portland area manufac turing plants were employed on late shifts in June 1951* Almost all of these workers were paid shift premiums - usually a centsper-hour differential over day-shift rates* The amounts most commonly reported for each shift were A or 5 cents* Five-sixths of the women office workers in Portland were scheduled to work a AO-hour week in June 1951* About 85 percent of the plant workers were also on a AO-hour workweek* Table A-l: O ^ lce OcCiifuUiOHd 3 (Average straight-time weekly hours and earnings 1/ for selected occupations studied on an area basis in Portland, Qreg*, by industry division, June 1951) Average Sex, occupation, and industry division Number workers $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ S $ Weekly (Jnder 3 2 .5 0 3 5 .0 0 3 7 .5 0 4 0 .0 0 4 2 .5 0 4 5 .0 0 4 7 .5 0 5 0 .0 0 5 2 .5 0 5 5 .0 0 5 7 .5 0 6 0 .0 0 6 2 .5 0 6 5 .0 0 6 7 .5 0 7 0 .0 0 7 2 .5 0 7 5 .0 0 8 0 .0 0 8 5 .0 0 9 0 .0 0 9 5 .0 0 Weekly earnings $ hours and and (Standard) (Standard) 3 2 .5 0 under over 3 5 .0 0 3 7 .5 0 4 0 .0 0 4 2 *5 SL 4 5 .0 0 47*50 5Q.QQ 5 2 .5 0 55.00- -SZaSfl -&Q.Q0 6 2 .5 0 6 5 .0 0 67.5Q 7-Q.QQ 7 2 .5 0 7 5 .0 0 8 0 .0 0 8 5 .0 0 9 0 .0 0 9 5 .0 0 $ B o o k ke ep ers, hand.

Table E-7: A ll - A “30 .7 Q JO Occupational Wage Survey, Portland, Oreg., June 1951 U. S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Bureau of Labor Statistics 24 Appendix - Scope With the exception of the union scale of rates, in formation 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 b y occupa tion, 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 t (a) office olerioal, (b) professional and technical, (o) maintenance and power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables A-l through A-A)» 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 in a rep resentative group of establishments in each of these industry divisions* As indicated in the following table only establish ments above a oertain 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 industry (see fol lowing 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 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 commissions for salespersons, are included* Where weekly hours are reported as for offioe clerical, they refer to the work sched ules (rounded to the nearest half-hour) for which the straighttime salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occu pations have been rounded to the nearest 50 cents* The number of workers presented refers to the estimated total employment in all establishments within the soope 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 establishment's 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 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 aotual.ly receiving the specifio benefits may be smaller* The summary of vacation and sick leave plans is limited to formal arrangements* It excludes informal plans whereby time off w i t h 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 peri od preceding the payment of benefits* These plans also exolude health insurance even though it is paid for by employers• Health insurance is included, however, under tabulation for insurance and pension plans* 25 ESTABLISHMENTS AND WORKERS IN MAJOR INDUSTRY DIVISIONS AND IN SELECTED INDUSTRIES IN PORTLAND, OREG. 2/, AND NUMBER STUDIED BY THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, JUNE 1951 Item Minimum number of workers in establishments studied 2/ Numbe:r of establi shments Estimated total within Studied scope of study Employment Estimated total within scope of study In establishments studied Total Office Industry divisions in which occupations were surveyed on an area basis All divisions .....................................
