Introduction 2/
The Milwaukee area is 1 of 40 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 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 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 terns 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 Milwaukee M etropolitan A r e a
The Milwaukee Metropolitan Area (Milwaukee County)
had an estimated total population of £71,000 in 1950, represent­
ing an increase of 12 percent since 1940, More than 70 percent
of this total lived in the city of Milwaukee. Nationally, the
Milwaukee area ranks as the sixteenth largest standard metro­
politan area. Milwaukee's central location, its ample trans­
portation facilities, and its close proximity to all types of
mineral, forest, and agricultural resources make it one of the
Nation's important industrial areas.

2 / Prepared in the Bureau's regional office in Chicago, 111.,
by Marvin H. Glick under the direction of George E* Votava, Re­
gional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst* The planning and
central direction of the program was carried on in the Bureau's
Division of Wages and Industrial Relations.
2 / Construction and extractive industries and government
institutions were excluded from this study;
see appendix for
discussion of scope and method of survey.




Nonagricultural employment in the area totaled 359,300
in March, of which 190,4.00 were employed in manufacturing estab­
lishments. Seventy percent of the manufacturing plant workers
were on the payrolls of plants producing durable goods. Employ­
ment in the durable-goods industries was dominated by the non­
electrical machinery group, with 53,500 workers. Other major
durable-goods industries included electrical machinery with
23,000 workers, fabricated metal products with 15,400, and pri­
mary metal products and transportation equipment with 14,500
workers each. Among the prominent nondurable-goods industries
in the Milwaukee area were food and kindred products with 21,300
workers, leather and leather products with 3,400, printing and
publishing with 7,200, and apparel with 6,600.

Milwaukee is a leading center for the manufacture of
Diesel and gasoline engines, outboard motors, motorcycles,
tractors, wheelbarrows, padlocks, malt beverages, hosiery, work
shoes, leather gloves and mittens, tin and enamelw&re, saw and
flour mill equipment, and graphic arts products.

An estimated 169,400 wage and salary workers were on
the payrolls of Milwaukee nonmanufacturing establishments in
March. Wholesale and retail trade establishments provided em­
ployment to approximately 66,000 persons, and another 16,000
were employed in finance, insurance, and real estate institu­
tions* The combined employment of the transportation (including
railroads), communication, and public utilities industries was
24,400. The service industries employed 29,700 workers, and the
building construction industry employed another 13,600. Feder­
al, State, and local government agencies reported employment of
19,700.

Among the industries and establishment-size groups
studied by the Bureau, more than four-fifths of the plant work­
ers were employed in establishments having written agreements
with labor organizations • Nine of ten factory workers in manu­
facturing plants were working under the terns of collective­
bargaining agreements. In nonmanufacturing industries, the pro­
portion of nonoffice workers covered by union agreements ranged
from less than a third in retail trade to nearly 100 percent in
the transportation (except railroads}, communication, and public
utilities group. Union contracts covered about two-thirds of
the nonoffice workers in wholesale trade and approximately 30
percent in the service industries.

Only in the public utilities group of industries was
there any appreciable degree of unionization among office work­
ers. About 90 percent of the office workers in this industry
group were employed in establishments having union contract
provisions covering office workers.

2

Occupational Wage Structure
Wages and salaries were formally adjusted upwards by
most Milwaukee establishments between January 1950, the base
date of the Wage Stabilization Board's 10 percent "catch-up11
wage Increase formula, and the time of the survey. Nearly all
manufacturing plant workers received formal wage adjustments
during this period. More than half the nonoffice workers in
nonmanufacturing establishments had received at least one gen­
eral wage increase; virtually all the remaining workers had re­
ceived pay increases granted on an individual basis.
Formal revisions of office workers1 salaries were
less prevalent, although office workers in the larger manufac­
turing establishments frequently were granted increases compa­
rable to those given plant workers. Individual merit or lengthof-service raises were more commonly used to adjust salary
levels of office workers.
Wage rates for 8$ percent of all Milwaukee plant work­
ers were determined on the basis of formal rate structures.
More than half of all time-rated plant workers were working
under wage progression plans which provide a range of rates for
each job. Plans setting forth a single or flat rate for time­
rated job classifications were typical of nondurable-goods manu­
facturing and wholesale trade establishments. Piece-rate or
bonus incentive payment plans covered plant j obs in which nearly
half the workers in durable goods and about 4-0 percent in non­
durable-goods manufacturing plants were employed. Incentive
plans were either nonexistent or relatively Insignificant among
the nomaxxufacturing industries.
Three-fifths of

Ten percent were paid salaries based
the remaining office workers were em­

Established minimum entrance rates for inexperienced
plant workers constituted part of the formal wage structure of
establishments employing nearly all plant workers in the area.
Although entrance rates ranged from less than 60 cents to more
than $1.65 an hour, approximately three-fifths of the plant
workers were employed in establishments with minimum rates of
$1 or more. A 75-cent minimum was the lowest rate reported in
any manufacturing or wholesale trade establishment.

Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing estab­
lishments were generally higher than those in nonmanufacturing.
In 27 of 33 office classifications permitting comparison, aveav
age salaries of workers in manufacturing plants exceeded those
of workers in nonmanufacturing establishments. Average hourly
earnings for plant jobs studied in all industries were higher
in manufacturing for 13 of 23 job categories for which com­
parisons were possible.

More than one-fifth of all plant workers in manufac­
turing industries were scheduled to work late shifts in March
1952. Virtually all these workers received shift premiums— usu­
ally expressed as uniform cents-per-hour (although in some in­
stances as a uniform percentage) additions to day rates. The
most common shift differential paid to second-shift workers was
5 cents and to third-shift workers, 10 cents.

Approximately two-thirds of the Milwaukee area plant
workers were scheduled to work 4-0 hours a week in March 1952.
Nearly all the remaining nonoffice workers in both manufacturing
and nonmanufacturing industries were scheduled to work more
than U0 hours. More than three-fourths of the office workers
in all industries were scheduled for 4,0 hours of work a week.
However, in finance, insurance, and real estate more than onefourth of the office workers were scheduled to work 37^ hours,
and in services about one-third were on a 35-hour work schedule.

Occupational Wage Survey, Milwaukee, Wis., March 1952
Bureau of Labor Statistics

28

Appendix — Scope

With the exception of the union soale 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 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 I ndus 1cm.

Among the industries in which characteristic jobs were
strdied, 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




at

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, l.e., those hired to work the establishment’s 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, under tabulation for in­
surance and pension plans.
