Introduction 1/
The Houston area is 1 of 40 major labor markets In
which the Bureau of Labor Stat is ties is currently conducting
occupational wage surreys.
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#

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.
