In each area, data are obtained by personal visits of Bureau field agents to representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation (excluding railroads), communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major industry groups excluded from these studies, besides railroads, are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted also because they furnish insufficient employment in the occu pations studied to warrant inclusion. 1 W herever possible, separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions. to the work schedules (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which straight-tim e salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishments. To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of small establishments is studied. In combining the data, how ever, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. Estimates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as r e lating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area, except for those below the minimum size studied. Information is presented also (in the B -series tables) on se lected establishment practices and supplementary benefits as they relate to office and plant workers. The term "office w o rk e rs ," as used in this bulletin, includes all office clerica l employees and ex cludes administrative, executive, professional, and technical personnel. "Plant w ork ers" include working forem en and all nonsupervisory w ork ers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Adm inistrative, executive, professional, and technical employees, and force-account construction employees who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded. Cafeteria workers and routemen are ex cluded in manufacturing industries, but are included as plant workers in nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actu ally surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure among establishments, the estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not m aterially affect the accuracy of the earnings data. Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational cla s sification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of inter establishment variation in duties within the same job (see appendix for listing of these descriptions). Earnings data are presented (in the A -s e r ie s tables) for the following types of occupa tions: (a) O ffice clerica l; (b) professional and technical; (c) mainte nance and power plant; and (d) custodial and m aterial movement. Shift differential data (table B - l ) are lim ited to manufacturing industries. This information is presented both in term s of (a) estab lishment policy, 2 presented in term s of total plant worker employ ment, and (b) effective practice, presented on the basis of workers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a m ajority was used or, if no amount applied to a m ajority, the clas sification "oth er" was used. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w orkers, i. e. , those hired to work a regular weekly sched ule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded also, but cost-ofliving bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerica l occupations, reference is Minimum entrance rates (table B-2) relate only to the estab lishments visited. They are presented on an establishment, rather than on an employment basis. Scheduled hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated statis tically on the basis that these are applicable to all plant or office * This report was prepared in the Bureau’ s regional office in New York, N. Y. , by F red erick W. M ueller, under the direction of Paul E. Warwick, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst. 1 See table 1 for m inim um -size establishment covered. 2 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the following conditions: ( l ) Operated late shifts at the time of the survey, or (2) had form al provisions covering late shifts. (i) 2 workers if a m ajority of such w orkers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the practices listed. 3 Because of rounding, sums of indi vidual items in these tabulations do not n ecessarily equal totals. The summary of vacation plans is lim ited to form al arrange ments, excluding inform al plans whereby time o ff with pay is granted at the discretion of the em ployer. Separate estimates are provided according to em ployer practice in computing vacation payments, such as time payments, percent of annual earnings, or flat-s-um amounts. However, in the tabulations of vacation allowances, payments not on a time basis w ere converted; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of 1 w eek’ 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 em ployer, excepting only legal requirements such as workmen’ s compensation and social security. Such plans include those underwritten by a com m er cial 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 lim ited 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 tem porary disability insurance laws which require em ployer contributions, 4 plans are included only if the em ployer (1) 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 lim ited to form al plans5 which provide full pay or a proportion of the w o rk er’ 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 benefits. Catastrophe insurance, sometimes re fe rre d to as extended m edical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect em ployees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. M edical insurance re fers to plans providing for complete or partial payment of doctors' fees. Such plans may be underwritten by com m er cial insurance companies or nonprofit organizations or they may be self-insured. Tabulations of retirem ent pension plans are lim ited to those plans that provide monthly payments for the remainder of the w ork er's life. 4 The tem porary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require em ployer contributions. 5 An establishment was considered as having a form al plan if it established at least the minimum number of days of sick leave that 3 Scheduled weekly hours for office w orkers (first section of could be expected by each employee. Such a plan need not be written, table B-3) are presented in term s of the proportion of women office but inform al sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, workers employed in offices with the indicated weekly hours for women w ork ers. w ere excluded.

Y. ). 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, howe.ver, 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 compiled considerably in advance of the pay period studied, and (Zj small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum-size limitation. All 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. The publicly operated portion of New York's transit system is, as a government operation, excluded from the scope of the studies. 5 Estimate relates to real estate establishments only. 4 Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; radio broadcasting and television; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations; and engineering and architectural services. 3 Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups The table below presents indexes of salaries of office clerica l w orkers and industrial nurses, and of average earnings of selected plant worker groups. F o r office clerica l w orkers and industrial nurses, the indexes relate to average weekly salaries for normal hours of work, that is, the standard work schedule for which straight-tim e salaries are paid. F o r plant worker groups, they measure changes in straight-tim e hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for overtim e and for work on week ends, holidays, and late shifts. The indexes are based on data for selected key occupations and include most of the numerically im portant jobs within each group. The office clerica l data are based on women in the following 18 jobs: B illers, machine (billing ma chine); bookkeeping-machine operators, class A and B; Comptometer operators; clerks, file , class A and B; clerks, order; clerks, pay roll; key-punch operators; office girls; secretaries; stenographers, general; switchboard operators; switchboard operator-receptionists; tabulating-machine operators; transcribing-machine operators, gen eral; and typists, class A and B. The industrial nurse data are based on women industrial nurses. Men in the following 10 skilled mainte nance jobs and 3 unskilled jobs were included in the plant worker data: Skilled— carpenters; electricians; machinists; mechanics; m e chanics, automotive; m illwrights; painters; pipefitters; sheet-metal w orkers; and tool and die makers; unskilled— janitors, porters, and cleaners; laborers, m aterial handling; and watchmen. A verage weekly salaries or average hourly earnings were computed for each of the selected occupations. The average salaries or hourly earnings w ere then multiplied by the average of February 1953 and February 1954 employment in the job. These weighted earn ings for individual occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an a gg re 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) m erit or other increases in pay received by individual w orkers while in the same job; and (3) changes in the labor force such as labor turnover, force expansions, force reduc tions, and changes in the proportion of workers employed by estab lishments with different pay levels. Changes in the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. For example, a force expansion might increase the proportion of lower paid workers in a specific occupation and r e sult in a drop in the average, whereas a reduction in the proportion of lower paid w orkers would have the opposite effect. The movement of a high-paying establishment out of an area could cause the average earnings 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 w orkers represented in each job in cluded in the data. Nor are the indexes influenced by changes in standard work schedules or in premium pay fo r overtim e, since they are based on pay for straight-time hours. Indexes for the period 1953 to 1956 for w orkers in 15 major labor markets appeared in BLS Bull. 1188, Wages and Related Benefits, 17 Labor Markets, 1955-56.
