according to employer practice in computing vacation payments, such
as time payments, percent of annual earnings, or flat-sum amounts.
However, in the tabulations of vacation allowances by years of service,
payments not on a time basis were converted; for example, a payment
of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of
1 week1 s pay*
Data are presented for all health, insurance, and pension
plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer,
excepting only legal requirements such as workmen1s compensation and
social security. Such plans include those underwritten by a commercial
insurance company and those provided through a union fund or paid
directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund
set aside for this purpose. Death benefits are included as a form of
life insurance.
Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of in­
surance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly
to the insured on a weekly or monthly basis during illness or accident
disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the
employer contributes. However, in New York and New Jersey, which
have enacted temporary disability insurance laws which require em­
ployer contributions,5 plans are included only if the employer (l) con­
tributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee

with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law.
Tabulations
of paid sick-leave plans are limited to formal plans which provide full
pay or a proportion of the worker's pay during absence from work
because of illness.
Separate tabulations are provided according to
(l) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans
providing either partial pay or a waiting period.
In addition to the
presentation of the proportions of workers who are provided sickness
and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is
shown of workers who receive either or both types of benefit.
Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as extended
medical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect
employees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond the
normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. Med­
ical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial payment
of doctors' fees. Such plans may be underwritten by commercial in­
surance companies or nonprofit organizations or they may be selfinsured. Tabulations of retirement pension plans are limited to those
plans that provide monthly payments for the remainder of the worker's
life.
5 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island
do not require employer contributions.

1 The Denver Metropolitan Area (Adams, Arapahoe, Denver, and Jefferson Counties). The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a
reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of
comparison with other area employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (l) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data com­
piled considerably in advance of the pay period studied and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum size limitation. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade,
finance, auto repair service, and motion-picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.
3 Includes executive, technical, professional and other workers excluded from the separate office and plant categories.
4 Also excludes taxicabs, and services incidental to water transportation.
5 This industry division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A and B tables, although coverage was insufficient to
justify separate presentation of data.
6 Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; radio broadcasting and television; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations; and
engineering and architectural services.

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups
Tabulated below are indexes of salaries of women office cleri­
cal workers, and of average earnings of selected plant worker groups.
For office clerical workers, the indexes relate to average
weekly salaries for normal hours of work, that is, the standard work
schedule for which straight-time salaries are paid. For plant worker
groups, the indexes measure changes in straight-time hourly earnings,
excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holi­
days, and late shifts.
The indexes are based on data for selected
key occupations and include most of the numerically important jobs
within each group. Eighteen jobs were included in the office clerical
index; 10 skilled maintenance jobs and 3 unskilled jobs were included
in the plant worker indexes. See footnotes to table 2.
Average weekly salaries or average hourly earnings were
computed for each of the selected occupations. The average salaries
or hourly earnings were then multiplied by the average of November
1952 and December 1953 employment in the job.
These weighted
earnings for individual occupations were then added to obtain an aggre­
gate for each occupational group.
Finally, the ratio of these group
aggregates for a given year to the aggregate for the base period (survey
month, winter 1952-53) was computed and the result multiplied by the
base year index (100) to get the index for the given year.

The indexes measure principally the effects of (l) general
salary and wage changes; (2) merit or other increases in pay re­
ceived by individual workers while in the same job; and (3) labor
turnover or force expansion or reduction. A force expansion might
increase the proportion of lower paid workers in a specific occu­
pation and result in a drop in the index, whereas a reduction in the
proportion of lower paid workers would have the opposite effect. The
indexes are also affected by shifts in the proportion of workers em­
ployed by establishments with different pay levels.
For example,
the movement of a high-paying establishment out of an area could
cause the index to drop, even though no change in rates occurred in
other area establishments.
The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effects
of changes in the proportion of workers represented in each job in­
cluded in the index.
Nor are the indexes influenced by changes in
standard work schedules or in premium pay for overtime, since they
are based on pay for straight-time hours.
Indexes for the period 1952 to 1955 for workers in 17 major
labor markets, appeared in BLS Bull.

Benefits, 17 Labor Markets, 1954-55.
