Introduction y
The Salt Lake City 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 community-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; and (d) cus­
todial, warehousing, and shipping. In presenting earnings in­
formation for such jobs (tables A-l through A-4) separate data
have been provided wherever possible for individual broad in­
dustry divisions*
Occupations that are 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 supple­
menting) 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 were collected and summarized an 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 Salt Lake City Metropolitan Area
The population of the Salt Lake City Metropolitan Area
(Salt Lake County) was estimated at 280,OCX) in 1951*
About
190,000 were concentrated in Salt Lake City*
Wage and salary workers in the area in December 1951
(excluding those in agricultural pursuits) numbered 102,000;
and 1 in every 7 of these was employed in government— Federal,
State, or local*

1/ Prepared in the Bureaufs regional office in San Francisco,
Calif., by William P. 0*Connor under the direction of John L*
Dana, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst* The plan­
ning and central direction of the program was carried on in the
Bureaufs Division of Whges and Industrial Relations, in Wash­
ington, Do C*
2/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey*



In manufacturing, with 15,000 workers, the most impor­
tant industries in terms of number of workers employed were
primary smelting and refining of copper and other nonferrous
metals, metal fabrication, and food processing* In addition to
the primary smelting and refining of nonferrous metals, the min­
ing of these ores within Salt Lake County provided employment
for 6,000 persons*
As the largest city between the Rocky Mountains and
the Sierras, Salt Lake City is the natural hub of trade in the
intermountain region. Wholesale and retail establishments em­
ployed 32,000 people— about 1 of every 3 workers. The service
industries employed 9,000 people and another 5#000 were in fi­
nance, insurance, and real estate establishments.
Combined employment of the transportation, communica­
tion, and other public utility industries (including railroads)
was 11,000. The building construction industry employed another
6,000 workers.
Among the industry and establishment-size groups stud­
ied in December 1951# less than half of the plant workers were
employed in establishments having written contracts with labor
organizations*
The proportion of plant workers in establish­
ments covered by union agreements varied widely, however, among
the industry divisions studied. Four out of five workers in the
public utilities group were employed in establishments having
union contracts, as were three out of five workers in manufac­
turing. Oily about one worker in every four in wholesale and
retail trade and one in every eight in the service industries
were employed in establishments operating under such agreements •
In the manufacturing and public utilities groups, onefourth and one-third, respectively, of the office employees were
in establishments which had signed union agreements applying to
office workers.
Union organization of office workers in the
other industry groups studied was negligible.

Occupational Wage Structure
Wages of more than half the plant workers were affect­
ed by general wage increases between January 1950 - the base
period of the Wage Stabilization Board fs 10 percent "catch-up"
wage increase formula - and the time of the study* These ad­
justments were much more numerous after the outbreak of hostil­
ities in Korea than during the preceding 6 months. The extent
of general wage increases varied sharply among the different
industry groups studied; although two-thirds of the manufactur­
ing plant workers and over four-fifths of nonoffice workers in
the public utility industries received at least one general

2

increase during the period, the wages of less than a fourth of
those in retail trade and service establishments were similarly
affected© The amounts of these pay raises varied considerably
among establishments, but were usually 5 or more cents an hour*
Formal wage increases for office workers were somewhat
less extensive than for those of plant workers, reflecting the
tendency of some establishments to adjust clerical workers* sala­
ries on an individual basis rather than by means of general wage
increases *
Formalized wage structures for time workers were re­
ported in establishments employing over 85 percent of the plant
workers* More than half of these workers were in establishments
using a single rate for each classification, whereas the remain­
der were working under a rate-range system. Among office workers,
about two-thirds were employed in establishments which determin­
ed salaries on the basis of formal rate ranges for each occupa­
tional classification* Nearly all of the remaining office work­
ers were employed in establishments which determined salaries on
an individual basis*
Established minimum entrance rates for inexperienced
plant workers was part of the formalized wage structure in most
Salt Lake City establishments. On an all-industry basis, onefifth of all plant workers were employed in establishments in
which minimum starting rates were less than 75 cents an hour; an
additional seventh were in establishments having starting rates
of exactly 75 cents— the legal minimum for firms engaged in
interstate commerce* The range of minimum rates was from 50 cents
to over $1*50 but no significant concentrations were found above
the 75-cent figure* Minimum rates were generally higher in the
manufacturing, public utilities, and wholesale trade groups than
in retail trade and the service industries*




One-fifth of the manufacturing plant workers were em­
ployed in establishments which determined rates of pay for
first-level supervisors according to a fixed relationship to
the rates of workers supervised* In all cases the differential
was on a cents-per-hour basis*
The lowest differential was 10
cents; the highest, 20 cents. In none of the other industry
groups was this method of setting supervisors1 pay found in more
than two or three establishments*
Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing indus­
tries were generally higher than in nonmanufacturing* In 13 of
17 office job classifications permitting comparison, salaries
of workers in manufacturing plants averaged more than those in
nonmanufacturing* Average hourly earnings for plant jobs were
higfier in manufacturing for 7 of the 11 job categories for which
comparisons were possible. Within the nonmanufacturing indus­
tries , wages and salaries in the public utilities group were
consistently higher than the trade, finance, and service groups*
A fourth of the manufacturing workers were emplqyed on
late shift work in December 1951©
Almost all of these workers
received premium payments in terms of cents-per-hour differen­
tials over day shift rates. The most common premium payments
for second-shift work were A and 5 cents an hour, whereas most
third-shift workers received 6 or 8 cents*

Except in the finance group, most women office work­
ers were on a 40-hour workweek* In finance, over half of the
women worked less than 40 hours * Although the 40-hour week was
also the general rule for plant workers in the public utilities
and wholesale trade groups, the major portion of the workers in
the manufacturing, retail trade, and service groups worked 44
to 48 hours a week.

Occupational Wage Survey, Salt Lake City, Utah, December 1951
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau of Labor Statistics

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 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
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




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* Nonproduotion bonuses are also excluded,
but oost-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 $0 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 olaseifioation*
Information on wage pr&otloes refers to all offioe
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 offioe 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
some amount of time off without any provision for & 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*
