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. Earnings information for those occupations character istic of particular local industries is presented in Series B tables for many labor markets included in the current series of studies* This supplemental coverage, however, was omitted in the survey in the Trenton area* Union scales (Series C tables) are presented in lieu of (or supplementing) occupational earn ings for several industries or trades in which the great majori ty of the workers are employed under terms of collective-bargaining agreements, and the contract or minimum rates are in dicative 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 Trenton Metropolitan Area The population of the Trenton Metropolitan Area (Mer cer County) was approximately 230,OCX) in 1950* More than half the total population lived in Trenton. The other major city in the area, Princeton, accounted for another 12,000 inhabit ants* Situated between New York and Philadelphia, the Tren ton area benefits industrially from the transportation lines serving these two cities* Manufacturing dominates the industrial composition of Trenton and its environs* Of the 52,600 workers within the scope of the survey, nearly three-fourths were em ployed in manufacturing firms, and half the entire work force 1 / Prepared in the Bureau fs regional office in New York, N. Y., by Donald J* Blackmore 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 Bureau’s Division of Wages and Industrial Relations* House Document No. 541 were in 5 important manufacturing industries. There were 7,440 workers engaged in the fabrication of metal products; 5>110 in the manufacture of pottery and related products, and 5>150 in the production of nonelectrical machinery* The primary metals industry employed 3>200 and the rubber industry, 4,300. Among the industries and establishment-size groups within the scope of the Bureau’s study, three-fourths of the plant workers were employed in establishments having written agreements with labor organizations* The extent of unionization varied widely in the different industry groups studied. In manufacturing nearly 85 percent of the plant workers were covered by union agreements* Except in transportation, communication, and other public utilities, where union coverage of plant work ers was virtually complete, plant workers in nonmanufacturing industries were not extensively affected by union contract pro visions* The proportion of office workers represented by union organizations was significant only In the utilities group, where four of five workers were covered* In other divisions, union coverage among office workers was negligible. Occupational W age Structure Wages and salaries for most plant and office workers in Mercer County were formally adjusted upward during the period between January 1950, the base date of the Wage Stabilization Board’s 10-percent wage increase formula, and the time of the study* Eighty percent of the plant workers and more than half the office workers received general wage or salary adjustments during this period, usually on a cents-per-hour basis* Most increases ranged from 10 to 20 cents, although workers in a few manufacturing and public utility establishments received in creases totaling as much as 30 cents an hour during the period. Formalized rate structures for time workers were re ported in establishments employing a substantial majority of the plant workers* These were particularly prevalent among manu facturing companies, where 9 of 10 persons were employed by firms having a formal rate structure. For plant workers, these formal plans generally were divided evenly between those providing single rates for each job and those providing rate ranges* Among office workers, about two-thirds were employed in estab lishments with formal rate structures, which in nearly cases consisted of a range of rates for each job classification, ftie remainder of the office workers were employed in firms that de termined salaries on an individual basis* Established minimum entrance rates for inexperienced plant workers were part of the wage structure for virtually all Trenton firms* One-half the workers were employed in establish ments having minimum rates of more than $1.10 an hour* These comparatively high minima were found primarily in manufacturing and public utilities firms, however* In retail trade and serv ice industries, approximately 80 percent of the workers were employed in companies with minimum rates of 75 cents an hour or less* Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing indus tries were generally higher than those in nonmanufacturing* In 17 of 18 office job classifications permitting comparison, sala ries of workers in manufacturing ranged up to $12*50 a week more than those in nonmanufacturing, although the difference was gen erally between $4*50 and $8« For plant occupations that cut across industry lines, hourly earnings in manufacturing were higher than in nonmanufacturing for 15 of 16 comparable jobs* Most commonly, these variations ranged between 17 and 29 cents an hour* More than 20 percent of the workers in manufacturing plants in Trenton were working late shifts in March 1952* Of these, virtually all were receiving shift premiums — typically a cents-per-hour differential over day-shift rates* Hie amount most commonly reported was 5 cents for the second and 6 cents for the third shift, although differentials up to 15 cents an hour were reported in some instances* More than 75 percent of the plant workers in Trenton were scheduled to work a 40-hour week; such a schedule was in effect for almost 85 percent of the workers in manufacturing* In the transportation, communication, and public utilities group, 40 percent of the employees were working more than a 44-hour week, and in wholesale and retail trade a workweek of 4& hours or more was in effect for approximately 15 percent of the work force* Among office workers the workweek was -typically 40 hours or less* In public utilities establishments, for instance, nearly 80 percent of the workers were scheduled to work 35 hours a week, and in financial institutions nearly 60 percent were working 35 to 37^ hours* A shorter office workweek was not -typical, however, in the service industries, where 40 percent of the women office workers were scheduled to work more than 40 hours a week* Typically, office workers in manufacturing, public utilities, and financial Institutions received 2 w e e k s 1 paid vacation after 1 year of service* The predominant vacation pattern for office workers in trade establishments was 1 week after 1 year and 2 weeks after 2 years of employment* In serv ice establishments, workers generally received 1 week after 1 year and 2 weeks after 5 years of service* Almost all plant workers were employed in firms granting at least 1 w e e k fs paid vacation after 1 year of service, and 2 weeks after 5 years* A: Cross-Industry Occupations T able A-ls ficCM/pCbtiOHA (Average straight-time w e e k l y hours and earnings 1/ for selected occupations studied on an area b a sis in Trenton, N.

J., 1-larch 1952 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Bureau of Labor Statistics 16 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 i (a) office clerical, (b) professional and technical, (o) 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 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 for 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. 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 offioe 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 establishment1# 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 offioes (or plant departments) that observe the practice in question, except in the section relating to women offioe workers of the table summarizing scheduled weekly hours. Beoause 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. 17 ESTABLISHMENTS AND WORKERS IN MAJOR INDUSTRY DIVISIONS IN TRENTON, N.
