Occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries were studied on a community-wide basis. Gross-industry methods of sampling were thus utilised in compiling earnings data for the following types of occupations: (a) office; (b) professional and technical; (o) 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 wher ever 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 summarised 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 Houston Metropolitan Area The Houston Metropolitan Area (Harris County), with a total population of 802,000, was the largest in the South in 1950. About 594-,000 persons lived within the city limits of Houston, reflecting an increase of over 50 percent since 1940. The industrial and commercial facilities of Houston play an integral part in the rising importance of the vast Gulf Coast area. The port of Houston is the world 9a leading port for shipment of petroleum and petroleum products, rice, cotton, and carbon black. The city is also served by six major railroad systems, a modern network of highways, and an international air port. 1/ Prepared in the Bureaufs regional office in Atlanta, Ga., by Louis B* Woytych under the direction of Harry H. Hall, 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 ^ Division of Wages and Industrial Relations. 2/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey. Indicative of H o u s t o n ^ industrial importance is the large variety of manufacturing plants located in the area. Petro leum refining, steel, paper, cement, shipbuilding and repair, flour milling, iron and steel fabricating, and chemicals are among the a r e a fs manufacturing industries. Total manufacturing employment during February 1952 was 82,500, or approximately 24percent of the total nanagrioultural employment. Manufacturers of machinery, with more than 15,000 workers, employed more work ers than any other single manufacturing industry. Manufacturers of petroleum products ranked second numerically, and employed almost 11,000; food and kindred products plants had about 10,500 workers• Although Houston ranks high in industrial importance, more than three times the number of workers were engaged in non manufacturing than in manufacturing activities. Almost 64,000 persons were employed by retail trade establishments with another 20,500 working in wholesale trade concerns. Transportation and other public utilities had an estimated 32,800 workers on their payrolls during February 1952 and service industries employed 28,300. About 21,500 persons were engaged in construction activ ities attesting to the importance of that industry in the area. Plants under construction in 1951, or for which the Defense Pro duction Administration had issued certificates of accelerated amortiza^ 1 on, had a total value of almost one-quarter billion dollars. Unionisation in Houston area establishments was almost wholly confined to the plant employees of manufacturing and transportation, communication, and public utility industries. Among the industries and establishment-size groups studied^ approximately 50 percent of the manufacturing plants employing more than two-thirds of the plant workers had collective-bar gaining agreements. About 60 percent of the transportation, communication, and other public utility companies employing more than four-fifths of the workers in the industry had written agreements with labor organizations. Occupational Wage Structure Wages and salaries of many plant and office workers were formally adjusted upward during the period between the out break of hostilities in Korea and the time of the survey0 More than two-thirds of all manufacturing plant workers and approxi mately three-fifths of the office workers received at least one general wage increase during the period. Generally, these in creases were made on a cents-per-hour basis, ranging most fre quently from 5 to 10 cents. The percent of workers in the public utilities and wholesale trade industries that received general wage increases was similar to that in the manufacturing industry; however, in other nonmanufacturing industries relatively few workers received formal wage adjustments between June 1950 and the time of the study. In contrast to wage adjustments of manu facturing employees, those made by nonmanufacturing establish ments were generally on a percentage basis. 2 , Established minimum entrance rates for inexperienced plant workers were part of the formalized rate structure in most Houston establishments— nearly all plant workers were employed in firms with established minima* Entrance rates exceeding |1 an hour were most prevalent— two-fifths of the plant workers were employed in establishments having established minima of this amount# In manufacturing firms, higher minimum rates were generally associated with larger companies, whereas retail trade and service establishments generally had lower entrance rates than other groups, with about 60 and 70 percent of the workers, respectively, receiving less than 75 cents an hour# Wages and salaries for nearly all jobs studied in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing plants were considerably higher in the former *industry group. In 23 of 25 comparable plant jobs, hourly rates in manufacturing firms were higher# Average weekly salaries for all office occupations permitting comparisons were higher in manufacturing establishments# Approximately a fourth of the durable and nondurable manufacturing plant workers in the Houston area were employed on extra shifts. 2J Almost all of these workers were paid a shift differential expressed as a cents-per-hour addition to 2 / See appendix table for lists ng of durable- and nondurablegoods industries# day-shift rates# A majority of second-shift employees received an hourly differential of 5 cents or less, whereas three-fourths of those employed on third shifts were paid a premium between 5 and 10 cents per hour# The scheduled workweek for a substantial majority of women office workers and plant workers in all industries was 40 hours# More than half the office employees in retail trade establishments had a scheduled workweek in excess of 4-0 hours, whereas nearly all office employees in the finance, insurance, and real estate industries were scheduled to work 40 hours or less# Among plant employees in all industries, more than twofifths in the services group had a workweek of 48 hours or more but almost three-fourths of those in public utility plants were scheduled to work only 40 hours a weeke Nearly all office workers and three-fourths of the plant workers in Houston establishments were granted paid holi days# Six holidays were most common, being granted to about 40 percent of all workers# Rates of pay for supervisory employees in plants em ploying 10 percent of the manufacturing workers were based on a fixed relationship to the rates of the occupations supervised# In a majority of cases, rates were set as a percentage above the highest rate of the workers supervised and varied by level of supervision# 3, A: Cross-Industry Occupations O ^ice QccufuUiotU Table A-l* (Average stra ig h t-tin e weekly hours and earnings 1 / fo r selected occupations studied on an area basis in Houston, Tex., by industry d iv is io n , January 1952) NUMBER OF WORKERS RECEIVING STRAIG HT-TIM E W E EK L Y EARNINGS OF— A verage 27.50 30.00 32.50 and <VJ 0 1 V5 Weekly Weekly earnings hours (Standard) (Standard) 3 8 ^ 8 5 3 5 .0 0 s $ $ 37.50 1 * 0 .0 0 37.50 1 * 0 .0 0 1 (2 .5 0 Clerks, accounting Manufacturing Durable goods .....

PERCKNT IN — 8 6 .7 Occupational Wage Survey, Houston, Tex., January 1952 Bureau of Labor Statistics 22. Appendix - Scope With the exception of the union so&le 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-A). The covered industry groupings a r e : 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 eaoh 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 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 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 establishments 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 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, tinder tabulation for in surance and pension plans. 23 ESTABLISHMENTS AND WORKERS IN MAJOR INDUSTRY DIVISIONS AND IN SELECTED INDUSTRIES IN HOUSTON, TEX., l / , AND NUMBER STUDIED BY THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, JANUARY 1952 Item Minimum number of workers in establishments studied 2/ Numb*yr of establifshments Estimated total within Studied scope of study Employment Estimated total within scope of study In establishments studied Total Office 88,920 41,600 20,780 20,820 47,320 13,550 4,480 2,250 2,230 9,070 18,740 5,040 14,060 3,510 5,970 3,060 1,590 1,420 2,340 660 11,337 1,154 1,088 1,627 105 Industry divisions in which occupations were surveyed on an area basis All divisions ....................................
