IB INDEX 20 O CCUPATIO N AL W AGE SU RVEY - BALTIMORE, MD. Introduction The Baltimore area is one of several important industrial centers in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics is currently con ducting occupational wage surveys. In such surveys occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonraanufacturing indus tries are studied on a community-wide basis. 2/ Cross-industry methods of sampling are thus utilized in compiling earnings data for the following types of occupations: (a) office; (b) profession al and technical; (c) maintenance and power plant; and (d) custodi al, warehousing, and shipping. In presenting earnings information for such jobs (tables A-l through A-4) separate data are provided, wherever possible, for individual broad industry divisions. Earnings information for characteristic occupations in certain more specifically defined industries is presented in Series B tables. Union scales (Series C tables) are presented for select ed occupations in several industries or trades in which the great majority of the workers are employed Tinder terms of collective bargaining agreements, and the contract or minimum rates are be lieved to be indicative of prevailing pay practices. Data are collected and summarized on shift operations and differentials, hours of work, and supplementary benefits such as vacation allowances, paid holidays, ani insurance and pension plans. Manufacturing employment in the area was, to a large ex tent, concentrated in the metalworking industries, with the primary and fabricated metals, transportation equipment, and machinery industries employing a total of nearly 110,000 workers. Food process ing industries had about 23,000 employees, and more than 18,000 workers were employed in the apparel industries. Wholesale and re tail trade with 25,000 and 80,000 workers, respectively, had nearly a third of the nonmanufacturing employment in Baltimore. Trans portation. communication, and public utilities (including interstate railroads) and the services industries, each with about 55,000 em ployees, accounted for another third of the total. Contract con struction employed nearly 40,000 workers in October 1952. Among the industries and establishment-size groups within the scope of this survey, 70 percent of the plant workers were em ployed by firms having written agreements with labor organizations. Among manufacturing industries, nearly 85 percent of the plant work ers were employed in unionized establishments, whereas in the trans portation, communication, and public utilities industries, 7 out of 10 workers were in establishments having labor-management agreements covering nonoffice workers. Only the public utilities group of in dustries had any appreciable degree of unionization among office em ployees. More than a third of the clerical workers in this group were employed in establishments having union agreements covering office workers. In all industries combined, only a tenth of the office workers were employed by firms with union contracts covering office employees. The Baltimore Metropolitan Area The Baltimore area, an important East Coast manufactur ing, trading, and shipping center, has a population in excess of 1.300.000 inhabitants. Nearly a million people reside within the corporate limits of the city of Baltimore. The Metropolitan area, including Baltimore City and Balti more and Anne Arundel Counties, had 539,000 nonagricultural wage and salary workers in October 1952. g/ Manufacturing plants employed 199.000 of this total; nonmanufacturing industries accounted for 340.000 of which about 58,000 were on the rolls of local, State, and Federal government agencies. 1/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey. Differences between the scope of this survey and the last previous survey (June 1951) are indicated in the appendix table. 2/ Maryland Department of Employment Security in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Nonfarm Wage Earners and Salaried Workers, November 1952. Occupational Wage Structure Wage and salary levels in the Baltimore area advanced noticeably between June 1951 - the date of the Bureau's last previ ous survey in the area - and October 1952. A substantial proportion of this increase was the result of general wage adjustments made by a number of establishments. Based on an analysis of the larger firms (employing 200 or more workers), more than two-thirds of the manufacturing plant workers received one or more formal wage adjust ments during the period. Such increases generally ranged from 7 to 16 cents an hour. General wage adjustments for office workers were less prevalent than those for plant workers. Office workers in the larger manufacturing establishments frequently were granted in creases comparable with those received by plant workers. However, pay raises for office workers in smaller establishments generally were made on an individual basis. Established minimum entrance rates for plant employees with no previous work experience were a part of the formalized rate structure of Baltimore area firms employing virtually all plant (i) 2 workers* Although entrance rates ranged from less than 75 cents to more than * 1 *60 an hour, $1 or more was reported as the minimum rate in establishments giving employment to more than half the workers* In manufacturing industries, 3 of A workers were employed in es tablishments with entrance rates of $1 or more* Salaries and wages in manufacturing industries were sub stantially above levels in the nonmanufaoturing group for most occupations studied. The relatively high proportion of workers in the primary metals, transportation equipment, and other durablegoods manufacturing industries contributed in part to these earn ings differentials. In nonmanufacturing industries, average earn ings in wholesale trade and the utilities group were generally higher than in retail trade or finance. Virtually all employees in the Baltimore area were employ ed by firms providing pay for holidays not worked. The most liberal provisions were in the public utility and finance groups where more than four-fifths of the office workers were granted 8 or more paid holidays a year. Similar paid holiday provisions prevailed for over half the plant workers in the public utilities group of industries. In manufacturing, at least 6 paid holidays were granted to over 95 percent of the office employees and 85 percent of the plant workers* Paid vacation provisions were more liberal for office clerical workers than for plant workers. The majority of the office workers were entitled to a paid vacation of 2 weeks, after a year of service, whereas only about 1 in 8 plant workers had similar benefits. After 5 years of service, virtually all office workers and four-fifths of the plant workers were eligible for 2 weeks' vacation. Approximately 90 percent of the plant workers in manu facturing establishments received at least a week's vacation after 1 year of service, while nearly two-thirds of the office employees received 2 weeks' paid vacation for the same length of service. 3 A ' Cross-Industry Occupations Table A-l: (Average straight-time weekly hours and earnings 1/ for selected occupations studied on an area basis in Baltimore, Md., by industry division, October 1952) NUMBER OF WORKERS RECEIVING STRAIGHT-TIME WEEKLY EARNINGS OF— Sex, occupation, and industry division Number of workers $ |nder 30.00 Weekly Weekly earnings hours (Standard) (Standard) 10.00 s $ s s s $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 32.50 35.00 *37.50 1*0.00 1*2.50 k5.00 J1*7.50 50.00 52.50 55.oo 57.50 60.00 62.50 65.00 67.50 32.50 35.00 - - 37.50 ho. 00 i*2.5o U5.oo 1*7.50 50.00 52.50 55.00 13 12 9 6 2 2 5 67.50 70.00 6 $ s $ $ S 95.00 and over 90.00 95.00 BS..Q0 70.00 75.00 80.00 85.00 90.00 57.50 60.00 62.50 7 3 - 7 7 6 5 8 8 2 - 15 lk 3 2 10 10 10 10 7 7 11 2/ 11 65.00 75.00 80.00 Men Clerks, order ..............................

U«S» DEPARTMENT OF LABCF F in an ce, in su ran ce, and r e a l e s t a t e . Bureau of Labor S t a t i s t i c s 18 Appendix - Scope and Method of Survey The Bureau’s occupational wage surveys are designed to provide a ranrinniTn 0f useful and reliable information with availa ble resources. In order to use resources efficiently and to pub lish results promptly, the surveys did not cover all establishments in the community. Although those studied are selected to provide representative results, no sample can reflect perfectly all differ ences in occupational structure, earnings, and working conditions among establishments. Because of the great variation in occupational structure among establishments, estimates of occupational employment are sub ject to considerable sampling fluctuation. Hence, they serve only to indicate the relative numerical importance of the jobs studied. The fluctuations in employment do not materially affect the accuracy of the earnings data. With the exception of the union rate scales, information presented in this bulletin was collected by visits of the Bureau's field representatives to establishments included in the study. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job de scriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job; these job descriptions 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 industry groupings surveyed are: manufacturing; transportation (except railroads), communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Information on work schedules and supple mentary benefits also was obtained in a representative group of es tablishments in each of these industry divisions. As indicated in the following table, only establishments above a certain size were studied. Smaller establishments -were omitted because they fur nished insufficient employment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion. Among the industries in which characteristic jobs were studied, minimum size of establishment and extent of the area cover ed were determined separately for each industry (see following table). Although size limits frequently varied from those estab lished for surveying cross-industry office and plant jobs, data for such jobs were included only for firms ments of the broad industry divisions. meeting the size require A greater proportion of large than of small establishments 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 occupations. The earnings information excludes premium pay for overtime and night work. Nonproduction bonuses are also excluded, but costof-living bonuses and incentive earnings, including commissions for salespersons, are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is to work schedules (rounded to the nearest half-hour) for which the straight-time sala ries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest 50 cents. The number of workers pre sented refers to the estimated total employment in all establish ments within the scope 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 establishment's full-time schedule for the given occupational classification. The term "office workers" referred to in this bulletin includes all office clerical employees and excludes administrative, executive, professional, and technical personnel. "Plant workers" includes working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadxnen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Administra tive, executive, professional and technical employees, and forceaccount construction employees who are utilized as a separate work force, are excluded. Although cafeteria workers, routemen, and in stallation and repair employees are excluded in manufacturing in dustries, these work categories are included as plant workers in nonmanufacturing industries. Shift-differential data are limited to manufacturing in dustries and have been presented both in terms of establishment policy and according to provisions for workers actually employed on extra shifts at the time of the survey. Establishments were considered as having a shift-differential policy if they met any of the following conditions: operated late shifts at the time of the survey; operated late shifts within 6 months before the field visit; or had a union-contract provision for payment of extra-shift work. Proportions in the tabulation of establishment policy are presented 19 in terms of total plant employment, whereas proportions in the sec ond tabulation represent only those workers actually employed on the specified late shift. office workers of the table summarizing scheduled weekly hours. Because of eligibility requirements, the proportion actually re ceiving the specific benefits may be smaller. Information on wage practices other than shift differ entials 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 The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal ar rangements. It excludes informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the employer or other supervisor. Tabulations of insurance and pension plans have been confined to those for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer.
