Introduction 1/
The Pittsburgh area is 1 of UO major labor markets in
which the Bureau of Labor Statistics is currently
conducting
occupational wage surveys*
Occupations 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 techni­
cal;
(c) maintenance and power plant;
(d) custodial,
ware­
housing, and shipping*
In presenting earnings information for
such jobs (tables A-l through A-A) separate date have been pro­
vided wherever possible for individual broad industry divisions*
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)
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 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 Pittsburgh Metropolitan A re a
Total population of the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area
(Allegheny, Beaver, Washington,
and Westmoreland Counties) was
almost 2,225,000 in 1951*
The city of Pittsburgh accounted for
U5 percent of the 1,500,000 living in highly industrialized
Allegheny County.

1 / Prepared in the B u r e a u ’s regional
office in New York,
N.Y.,
by Norman J* Samuels, 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 B u r e a u ’s Division of Wages and Industrial Relations*
2 / See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey.




Wage and salary workers
(excluding agriculture and
government)
in the area numbered nearly 1,000,000 in November
1951* About two-fifths of these were employed in manufacturing
establishments. Aside from the important steel industry, large
numbers of workers were employed in the fabricated metal pro­
ducts, machinery, and food-processing industries*
Although prominent as a manufacturing center, Pitts­
burgh is also a key area for other important business activities*
Strategically located where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers
join to start the Ohio, the city has long been a center of trade
and commerce*
Over 150,000 people were employed in its stores,
warehouses,
and wholesale outlets in November 1951*
Approxi­
mately 75>000 workers in the transportation, communication, and
public utilities industries were engaged in supplying power to
the factories and moving goods by water, rail, and trucks along
the complex transportation metwork.
Finance,
insurance,
and
real estate organizations employed over 27,000 workers;
the
service industries employed 30,000.
A high degree of unionization exists among Pittsburgh’s
firms* Although the degree of unionization varied among the
industry divisions studied,
the majority of plant workers in
each division were employed in establishments having union con­
tracts* The proportions were particularly high in manufacturing;
public utilities; and in the finance, insurance, and real estate
groups.
Among office workers, nearly 30 percent were in firms
with union contracts covering clerical employees.
The highest
degree of unionization was found in the public utilities group
and retail trade where
slightly more
than half the clerical
workers were employed in establishments with written union agree­
ments*

Occupational W age Structure
Wages and salaries of virtually all
area were affected by formal wage adjustments
1950 - the base date for the Wage Stabilization
cent wage increase formula - and the time of the
General wage increases amounting to 10 or more
were received by a majority of the plant and
during the period.
Plant workers in the large
received a general increase in December 1950 of

workers
in the
between January
B o a r d ’s 10-perB u r e a u ’s study.
cents an hour
office workers
steel companies
12^ cents, plus

2

adjustments in standard job rates ranging up to 15^ cents.
The
total increase for these
steel workers averaged about 16 cents
an hour.

Lowest minimum entrance rates were found in the service indus­
tries where establishments employing two-thirds of the workers
had minimums of 75 cents or less.

Approximately 15 percent of the workers in establish­
ments surveyed were awaiting additional wage increases pending
approval of the Wage Stabilization Board. Most of these pend­
ing increases were for amounts ranging from 3 to 10 cents an
hour.
A t the time of the survey,
the union contract covering
the wages of workers in the steel industry had only a few weeks
to remain in force.
Negotiations between the steel industry
and the union were still in progress as this report went to
print.

Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing indus­
tries were generally higher than those in nonmanufacturing.
In
29 of 33 office occupations permitting comparison, average sala­
ries in manufacturing plants exceeded those in nonmanufacturing
establishments.
Average hourly earnings for plant workers were
higher in manufacturing than in nonmanufacturing for 19 of 27
comparable occupations.

Formalized rate
structures for time workers were in
effect In establishments employing more than 90 percent of Pitts­
b u r g h ^ plant workers.
Nearly two-thirds of these workers were
employed under plans providing a single rate for each occupation;
the remainder were in organizations that had a formalized range
of rates.
This latter method was predominant only in retail
trade and the public utilities
groups.
Salary progression
through a formal range applied to about 70 percent of the office
workers. Salaries for practically all other office workers were
individually determined.
Virtually all of P ittsburgh’s plant workers were em­
ployed in firms having established minimum entrance rates for
workers with no previous work experience.
The greatest concen­
tration of plant workers - nearly 55 percent - was
in firms
with a $1.30 - $1.35 minimum.
This large concentration at a
comparatively high minimum was chiefly due to the prevailing
practice of the steel industry.
For most other industries, there was relatively little
concentration at any rate,
although &
substantial number of
workers in retail trade were in firms with a 75-cent minimum.




About two-fifths of the plant workers in manufacturing
were employed on late shifts in November 1951® Virtually all
extra-shift workers were paid a shift premium, usually expressed
as a cents-per-hour addition to day rates.
At the time of the
study,
the major steel producers and a number of other manu­
facturing establishments in the Pittsburgh area paid shift premi­
ums of 4 and 6 cents an hour for second- and third-shift worko
About three-fourths of the second-shift workers and four-fifths
of the third-shift workers
in the area received shift premiums
of 4 and 6 cents an hour, respectively.

Nearly all plant and office workers in the Pittsburgh
area were eligible for a paid vacation after 1 year of service.
Plant workers generally received 1 w eek whereas three-fourths
of the office workers received 2 weeks. Establishments employing
about 90 percent of the workers paid at least part of some form
of insurance or pension benefits. About one-fourth of the office
workers but less than a tenth of the plant workers were employed
in establishments with formal provisions for paid sick leave
without any waiting period after one or more years of service.
The majority of both plant and office workers were in establish­
ments operating on a scheduled 40-hour workweek.

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 * (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 s 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




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 far 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 far only full-time
workers, i*e*, those hired to work the establishment1s 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 suamarizing 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*
