The services of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Regional offices
are available for consultation on statistics relating to wages and indus­
trial relations, employment, prices, labor turn-over, productivity, work
injuries, construction and housing.

The Middle Atlantic Region includes the following States:
Delaware
New Jersey

New York
Pennsylvania

Introduction 1/
The Philadelphia area is 1 of 40 major labor markets
in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics is currently conducting
occupational wage surveys. Occupations that are common to a
variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries were
studied on a coxnminity-wide basis. Cross-industry methods of
sampling were thus utilized in compiling earnings data for the
following types of occupations:
(a) Office;
(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-k) separate data have been
provided wherever possible for individual broad Industry divi­
sions.
Occupations characteristic of particular,
important,
local industries were studied on an industry basis, within the
framework of the community survey. 2/ Earnings data for these
Jobs have been presented in Series B tables. Union scales (Series
C tables) are presented in lieu of (or supplementing) occupa­
tional earnings for several industries or trades in which the
great majority of the workers are employed under terms of collec­
tive bargaining agreements, and the contract or minimum rates
are indicative of prevailing pay practices.
Data were collected and summarized on shift operations
and differentials, hours of work, and supplementary
benefits
such as vacation and sick leave allowances, paid holidays, non­
production bonuses, and insurance and pension plans.

The Philadelphia Area
The Philadelphia-Camden area, which includes Philadel­
phia and Delaware Counties, Pa. and Camden County, N. J., had an
estimated population of 3,000,000 in 1950. Two-thirds of this
total were concentrated in Philadelphia.
More than a million workers were enployed in nonagricultural industries within the three-county area in October 1951*
Some 700 manufacturing firms employing over 350,000 workers were

l/ Prepared in the Bureau* s regional office in New York City,
by Norman J. Samuels and Theodore Allison, under the direction
of Frederick W. Mueller, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations
Analyst. The planning and central direction of the program was
carried on in the Bureau's Division of Wages and Industrial Rela­
tions, in Washington, D. C.

within scope of the Bureau's study. 3 / Of these, nearly 1*0,000
were employed in establishments manufacturing nonelectrical ma­
chinery. More than 185*000 workers were engaged in establish­
ments producing nondurable goods, kj Philadelphia's favored lo­
cation along the eastern seaboard, with its excellent port, makes
it a natural terminus. This location,
further, contributes to
the city's position as one of the Nation's largest trade and
finance centers. About 80,000 workers were employed in the com­
munications, public utilities, and transportation industries,
including railroads in October 1951* There were some 120,000
workers employed in over 750 establishments engaged in wholesale
and retail trade, and over 1*5,000 workers in nearly 1*00 estab­
lishments in the field of finance,
insurance, and real estate.
The service industries have expanded to meet the needs of this
city and were employing over 1*0,000 workers in October 1951«

Among the industry and establishment-size groups with­
in scope of the Bureau's study, more than three-fourths of the
plant workers were employed in establishments having written
contracts with labor organizations. The degree of unionization
varied widely among industry divisions studied. In manufactur­
ing, over 90 percent of the workers in durable-goods industries
and over 80 percent in nondurable-goods manufacturing,
were
covered by contract provisions. Among the nonmanufacturing divi­
sions, the greatest extent of unionization was found in the pub­
lic utilities group. Virtually all plant workers in this group
were employed in establishments which had formal contracts with
labor organizations. The proportion of office workers employed
under terms of union contracts was much lower than for plant
workers. Only one clerical worker out of seven was so employed.
Only in the public utilities group were office workers covered
b y union agreement to any appreciable degree. Over 7 0 percent
of the office workers in this industry division were working
under union-contract provisions.

Occupational Wage Structure
Almost three-fourths of the office occupations for
which comparisons could be made with the Bureau's last study
(May 1950) showed Increases of 10 percent or more. Hourly rates
for plant workers had generally increased from 9 to 13 percent
during the same period. A large proportion of this advance was

the result of general wage increases* About two-fifths of the
workers in the establishments studied had received at least one
general wage increase since January 1950, the base period for
the Wage Stabilization B o a r d s
10 percent wcatch-up" wage in­
crease formula* These formal wage adjustments were most frequent
among workers in manufacturing establishments. General Wage in­
creases reported were usually cents-per-hour advances although
a substantial number of workers received percentage increases.
About a third of the workers receiving percentage increases
averaged about 10 percent, while the middle half of those re­
ceiving cents-per-hour increases received from 10 to 15 cents an
hour. Nearly two-fifths of these wage actions also contained
provisions for extending fringe benefits; the remainder involved
wage increases only.

A number of workers in Philadelphia had received wage
increases as a result of national or area wage contracts. In
transportation,
general wage increases were granted to railroad
employees on the basis of escalator clauses geared to the Bureau* s
Consumers* Price Index. Workers belonging to the maritime unions
received increases that affected workers in the industry along
the entire Atlantic Coast.

Formalized wage and salary structures for time workers
were reported in establishments employing approximately fivesixths of the plant workers and two-thirds of the office workers.
Formal plans providing a single rate for each job classification
affected more than 1+0 percent of the plant workers but only 3
percent of the office workers. Practically all formal wage plans
for office workers provided for a range of rates. Individual
determination of rates, although affecting only 3 ^ percent of
all office workers, was, nevertheless, the predominant method of
wage determination for office workers in wholesale trade and
service industries.

Established minimum entrance rates for plant employees
with no previous work experience were a part of the formalized
rate structures of Philadelphia area firms employing more than
95 percent of the plant workers. On an all-industry basis, over
half the plant workers were employed in establishments paying a
minimum rate of more than $1 an hour. Minimum entrance rates of
$1 or more were reported by most large (500 workers or more)
manufacturing establishments employing about four-fifths of the
workers in this size-of-establishment category. Half the plant
workers in retail trade, and four-fifths of those in the service
industries were employed in establishments having minimum rates




of 75 cents or less. A $1 or higher minimum was reported for
nearly two-thirds of the employees in the public utilities group.
About 10 percent of the plant workers in wholesale and retail
trade were in establishments which had no minimum entrance rate
policy.

Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing indus­
tries were generally higher than those in nonmanufacturing.
In
25 of 29 office classifications permitting conparison, average
salaries of workers in manufacturing plants exceeded those of
workers in nonmanufacturing establishments. Average hourly earn­
ings of plant workers were higher in manufacturing than in nonmanu­
facturing for 19 of 29 categories for which coiiparisons could be
made. However,
specific industrial divisions contributing to
the general nonmanufacturing average had an average rate,
in
some occupations, exceeding that for the manufacturing group in
the same job category.
More than a fifth of all plant workers in manufactur­
ing establishments were working on late shifts in October 1951Virtually all such workers were paid a differential over day
(first-shift) rates which was in the form of a cents-per-hour
premium for about half the workers and a percentage differential
for the others. Shift premiums of 5 cents an hour or 10 percent
over the day rate were most commonly reported for second-shift
workers.

Supplementary wage benefits were generally granted to
a greater proportion of the office workers than plant workers.
Nearly all workers were receiving paid vacations after 1 year of
service and six or more paid holidays. One-third of the office
workers but only 6 percent of the plant workers were formally
entitled to paid sick leave without any waiting period after 1
year of service. More than three-fourths of the plant workers
were scheduled to work 1+0 hours a week. A workweek of less than
1+0 hours was scheduled for half the office workers.

A fixed relationship between the pay of supervisors
and workers supervised was reported by a tenth of the manufac­
turing establishments, a small number of trade establishments,
and most of the shipping and stevedoring establishments studied.
Among the few manufacturing companies, mainly large metalworking
plants, reporting such formal rate relationships, rates for
leadmen were set from U cents to 15 percent above the rate paid
to the highest-paid worker supervised*
Gang foremen in steve­
doring received 25 cents an hour more than longshoremen.

1/ Wage scales and hours per week for dry cargo and
passenger Tessels are those in effect on December 16, 1951,
for Atlantic and Gulf Coast ship operators under contracts
with the Rational Maritime Union, CIO, and the Seafarer's
International Union, AFLj NMU scales are shown for tankers
and colliers. SIU scales for tankers differed somewhat from
NMU scales. The SIU had no contracts with collier operators.
AIT ratings listed receive additional payment in
accordance with the following conditions:
1. On vessels carrying explosives in 50-ton lots or
over, 10 percent of basic monthly wages is added
while such cargo is aboard, or is being loaded
or unloaded.
2. On vessels carrying sulphur in amount of 25 per­
cent or more of dead weight carrying capacity,
$5 per voyage is added. (On vessels carrying
sulphur, cement, cyanide, etc., in bulk lots of
1000 tons or over, members of the SIU are paid
the same as those on vessels carrying explosives.)
3. On vessels operating in described areas of China
coastal waters, a per diem allowance of $2.50 and
an "area bonus" of 100 percent of daily wages is
added. Also, on vessels operating within certain
designated areas of French Indo-China coastal
waters, a per diem allowance of $5 is added.
A. On vessels attacked, fired upon or struck by
mines of either belligerent, resulting in physi­
cal damage to the vessel or injury to a crew
member a "vessel attack bonus" of $125 shall be
paid to each crew member.
2/ The maximum straight-time hours which may be worked
per week at sea. At sea, watch men and the steward's depart­
ment normally work 56 hours a week, and receive overtime pay
for 8 hours on Saturday and 8 on Sunday. Day men at sea
normally work a 44-hour week. In port, all receive overtime
rates for work on Saturday and Sunday.

Occupational Wage Survey, Philadelphia, Pa., October 1951

Appendix

Scope ar

With the exception of the union soale 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 by 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 i (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 ares 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 certain size were studied. Smaller establishments
were omitted because they furnished insufficient employment in
the occupations studied to warrant their inclusion.

Among the industries in which characteristic jobs were
strdied, 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. Nonproduotion 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 office 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 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 establishment1* 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 sumnarizing 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
some amount of time off without any provision for a waiting
period preceding the payment of benefits. These plans also ex­
clude health insurance even though it is paid for by employers.
Health insurance is included, however, under tabulation for in­
surance and pension plans.
