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 Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Metropolitan A re a The Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Metropolitan Area (lahigh and Northampton counties, Fa*, and Warren County, N* J.) had a population of almost 440,000 in 1950. Allentown accounted for approximately one quarter of the total, with Bethlehem con tributing about 68,000 and Easton another 36,000. The area provided employment to 171,000 wage and sala ry workers (excluding agriculture and government) in March 1952* About three-fifths of these were employed in manufacturing estab lishments* Aside from the large steel mill located in the area, substantial numbers of workers were employed in cement produc tion, knitting and weaving mills, and apparel manufacture* 1/ Prepared in the Bureau^ regional office in New lark, 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 Bureau^ Division of Wages and Industrial Relations. 2/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of.survey* Transportation facilities— including river, rail, and highway— are well developed, permitting close commercial con nections with New York and Philadelphia to the east and with the Pittsburgh gateway to the west. Transportation, communication, and public utilities provided employment to a large proportion of the workers engaged in nonmanufacturing establishments* Among the industry and establishment-size groups with in the scope of the study, three out of every four plant workers were employed in establishments having written contracts with labor organizations* The degree of unionization varied widely among the industry divisions studied. About 80 percent of the workers in manufacturing industries and nearly 95 percent in public utilities were in unionized firms* In wholesale trade nearly half of the workers were in establishments having union contracts. In the other nonmanufacturing groups, the majority of the workers were in unorganized firms* Unionization among office workers was almost exclusive ly confined to the public utilities group where approximately two-thirds of the clerical force was working in establishments having union contracts* Occupational W a g e Structure The wages of approximately 70 percent of all plant workers in the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area were affected by formal wage adjustments between January 1950, the base date of the Wage Stabilization Boardf3 wcatch-upw wage increase formula, and the time of the Bureau1s study in May 1952* During the first 6 months of 1950, there were few general wage changes* The second half of the year— the immediate post-Korean period— was marked by wide general increases* Since then, general in creases have continued but at a diminishing rate* Formalized rate structures for time workers were in effect in establishments employing nearly 85 percent of the area1s plant workers* Of this group, four out of five were em ployed under plans providing a single rate for each occupation; the remainder were in firms having a formalized range of rates* Formal wage plans for two-thirds of the office workers in manu facturing establishments provided a formal range of rates; in nonmanufacturing establishments, a like proportion were in firms where salaries were individually determined* However, more than three-fourths of the clerical employees in the public utilities group worked under formal wage structures which pre dominantly provided for a range of rates* Established minimum entrance rates for plant workers without previous work experience were virtually a universal practice in the area* Although the established mlninpi ranged from under 45 cents to over $l#A0anhour, there were significant concentrations within industry divisions. Nearly half the work ers in large manufacturing establishments (251 or more workers) were employed in firms with a minimum of $1.30 or more. The largest concentrations of workers in wholesale and retail trade were in firms with the 75-cent-an-hour minimum. Nearly half the public utility workers were employed in establishments with established minima of $1 or more. In services establishments, where all firms studied had formal minimum rates, more than half the employees were in establishments which had minimum rates of less than 75 cents an hour. Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing indus tries were generally higher than those in nonmanufacturing. In 11 out of 15 office occupations permitting comparison, average salaries of workers in manufacturing plants exceeded those of workers in nonmanufacturing establishments. Average hourly earnings of plant workers were higher in manufacturing for 15 of the 18 categories for which comparisons were possible; for 10 of these occupations the differential was more than 10 cents an hour. Almost a fourth of the plant workers in manufacturing were employed on late shifts in May 1952. Virtually all extra shift workers were paid a shift premium, usually expressed as a cents-per-hour differential above day rates. Premiums of 4 cents an hour were typical for second shift work, and third shift differentials generally ranged from 6 to 10 cents. Paid vacations were granted to practically all workers after 1 year1s service. Vacation programs for plant workers typically provided far 1 week*s vacation after 1 year of service and 2 weeks after 5 years. The majority of office workers, how ever, received 2 weeks1 vacation after 1 year. Nearly 70 percent of the women office workers in this area were working a A0-hour week in May 1952* Chief variants to this pattern were in retail trade and service organizations where two out of three employees were working more than 40 hours • In financial establishments, on the other hand, more than half the women were working less than 40 hours, with a 35-hour sched ule most common. Among plant workers, the 40-hour week was a predominant schedule. Here, however, variations were consistent ly toward longer hours. In the trade and services industries, for example, half of the workers were on scheduled workweeks of 44 hours or more.

Occupational Wage Survey, Allentovn-Bethlehem-Easton, Pa., M a y 1952 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF L A BOR 16 Appendix Scope anc Method of Survey » 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, (o) maintenance and power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables A-l through A-4). 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 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 oroes-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 - 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 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 class if icat ion. 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 sumoarizing 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. 17 ESTABLISHMENTS AND WORKERS IN MAJOR INDUSTRY DIVISIONS AND IN SELECTED INDUSTRIES IN ALLENTOWN-BETHLEHEM-EASTON, PA., 1/ AND NUMBER STUDIED BY THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, MAY 1952 Item Minimum number of workers in eestablishments studied 2/ Number of establishments Estimated total within Studied scope of study Employment Estimated total within scope of study In establishments studied Total Office Industry divisions in which occupations were surveyed on an area basis All divisions Manufacturing • . e » o o » o « « o « o e » » » c o » o 0 o . » o o e * » o o » * Nonmanufacturing • o e » * « o o o » e » » e « o o o o » » * e » o o 0 « » * o Transportation (excluding railroads), communication, and other public U tilitie s Wholesale trade Retail trade, except department stores and limited-price variety stores Finance, insurance, and real estate .........
