Introduction 1/
The Oklahoma City Area is 1 of 4*0 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; (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 individual broad industry divi
sions.
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 those 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 cn 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 Oklahoma City Metropolitan A re a
Population of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area,
which includes Oklahoma County, totaled more than 325,000 pei>sons in 1950. About three-fourths of these lived within the
city limits of Oklahoma City.
Geographically located in the center of the State,
Oklahoma City is a leading wholesale and distribution point. It
has five railroad lines operating out of three stations, eight
operating bus companies, and is one of the more important avi
ation centers in the Southwest. Oil and livestock play a major

role in the city's economy. Oklahoma City ranks as 1 of the 12
primary livestock markets in the United States and boasts 2 of
the largest high-gravity oil fields in the world with over 2,000
wells adjoining and within the city limits.
Nonagricultural wage and salary workers in the Okla
Metropolitan Area totaled 127,650 during October
1 9 5 1 * 2/
Almost 15,000 of these were employed in manufacturing
plants and approximately 40 percent of all manufacturing workers
were employed in food and kindred products establishments. An
additional 2,000 were engaged in metal processing and over 1,600
were on printing and publishing firm payrolls.
homa City
Oklahoma City's position as the center of a wide trad
ing area is indicated by the heavy concentration of employment
in nonmanufacturing industries — about three-fourths of all
wage and salary workers earned their livelihood in nonmanufacturing establishments. Dominating other industry groups in the
area, wholesale and retail trade establishments employed over
34,000 persons while Federal, State, and local government em
ployees numbered 33,500. Employees of firms performing service
functions totaled about 13,500 and another 8,050 were engaged
in construction activities. During October 1951, the total value
of building permits issued was almost $2 million, over half of
which was for residential dwellings.
Among the industries and establishment-aize groups
studied by the Bureau, about half of the manufacturing plant
workers were employed in establishments having written agree
ments with labor organizations. In the nonmanufacturing indus
tries, the group including transportation, communication, and
other public utilities was the most highly unionized; approxi
mately 70 percent of the nonoffice workers in this group were
employed under the terms of labor-management agreements. About
a fourth of the nonoffice employees in wholesale trade were em
ployed in unionized establishments. The extent of unionization
in other major industry groups studied was negligible.
The proportion of office workers covered by union con
tract provisions was considerably lower than for plant workers.
About half the office workers in the public utilities group were
employed under the previsions of union contracts but the union
ization of office workers in all other industry groups studied
was virtually nonexistent.

Occupational W age Structure
Wages and salaries of workers in Oklahoma Gity estab
lishments were substantially affected by formal wage adjustments
between January 1950 - the base period for the Wage Stabili
zation Board*s 10 percent "catch-up” wage formula - and the time
of the study* These general wage increases were much more numer
ous after the outbreak of hostilities in Korea than during the
preceding 6 months. Between June 1950 and October 1951, the
earnings of more than two-fifths of the plant and office workers
in all industries were affected by formal wage adjustments.
Public utilities employees were most notably affected; fourfifths of the plant workers and nine-tenths of the office work
ers in this broad industry group received at least one general
wage increase during the period. Manufacturing establishments
granted formal wage increases to seven-tenths of the plant work
ers and one-fifth of the office workers during the same period.
More than a third of the plant workers and half the office em
ployees in wholesale trade establishments had received at least
one formal wage adjustment, while a fourth of the plant workers
and a third of the office workers in finance, insurance, and real
estate concerns received general wage increases. The proportion
of workers receiving formal wage adjustments during the period
was substantially less among the services and retail trade
groups.
Established minimum entrance rates for plant workers
with no previous experience were part of the formalized rate
structures for most firms in the area. More than 95 percent of
the plant workers were employed in firms with established minimums ranging from less than 40 cents to more than $1.20 an hour*
Minimum rates ranging from 75 to 85 cents inclusive were most
common — plants employing more than a third of the workers in
all industries reported rates in this range* Almost a fifth of
the employees were in plants whose minimum rates ranged from 8 5
cents to $1, whereas an eighth of all plant workers received a
minimum of more than $1 an hour. No rates below 75 cents were
reported in wholesale trade or public utility companies and less
than 4 percent of the manufacturing plant workers were employed
in establishments having formal entrance rates below 75 cents*
Retail trade and Service establishments generally had lower en
trance rates than other industries studied.
Wages and salaries of Oklahoma City workers were
higher in manufacturing firms than in nonmanufacturing for al
most all comparable jobs. Average hourly earnings for plant jobs
studied in all industries were higher in manufacturing estab
lishments for each of the 18 occupations permitting comparisons.
Office occupations showed the same tendency with employees in
17 of the 18 comparable jobs being paid higher salaries by manu
facturing companies.
Nearly a sixth of the manufacturing plant workers
were employed on second shifts and about3 percent were employed on
third shifts. About three-fourths of the workers employed on
extra shifts were paid a shift differential, almost always e x
pressed as a cents-per-hour addition to day rates. A 5-cent
differential was most commonly reported for second shift work
ers. Third-shift workers generally received 10 cents an hour
more than the day rate.
About two-thirds of the women office workers and twofifths of the plant workers in all industries had 40-hour work
week schedules during October 1951. A workweek of this length
was most prevalent for both plant and office workers in the
broad industry groups of manufacturing, public utilities, retail
trade, and finance, and for office workers alone in the whole
sale trade and service industries* A third of the plant workers
in wholesale trade were scheduled to work 40 hours a week and
an equal proportion were on a 44-hour schedule. More than 43
percent of the workers in service establishments had 48-hour
workweeks.
Virtually all the office workers and almost 90 percent
of the plant workers in the Oklahoma City area received paid
holidays. Six holidays were most common, being granted to more
than half of all workers. The finance, insurance, and real es
tate companies granted more paid holidays than other industries,
providing at least six paid holidays to all of their employees.

Occupational Wage Survey, Oklahoma City, Okla., October 1951
Bureau of Labor Statistics
17.
A ppendix — 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* (a) office
clerical, (b) professional and technical, (o) 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 far 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 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 establishments full-time
schedule for the given occupational class ifioat ion.
Information on wags 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 practloe 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 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.
