The Secretary o f Labor:
I have the honor to transm it herewith a report on occu
p a tio n a l wages and rela ted b en efits in San Francisco-Oakland,
C a lif., during January 1953. Sim ilar stud ies are being con
ducted in a number o f other large labor-market areas during the

OCCUPATIONAL WAGE SURVEY
Introduction
The San Francis co-Oakland area is one of sev era l im
portant in d u stria l centers in which the Bureau of Labor S t a t is
t ic s is cu rren tly conducting occupational wage surveys. In such
surveys occupations common to a v ariety of manufacturing and
nonmanufacturing in d u stries are studied on a community-wide ba
s i s . 1 / C ross-industry methods of sampling are thus u tiliz e d
in com piling earnings data fo r the follow ing types of occupa
tio n s: (a) o ffic e ; (b) p rofession al and tech n ica l; (c) m ainte
nance and power plant; and (d) cu sto d ia l, warehousing, and
shipping. In presenting earnings inform ation for such jobs
(ta b les A -l through A-*!-), separate data are provided wherever
p o ssib le fo r in d ivid u al broad industry d iv isio n s.
Earnings inform ation for ch a ra cteristic occupations
in certa in more narrowly defined lo c a l in d u stries is presented
in se r ie s B ta b le s . Union sca les (se r ie s C ta b le s) are pre
sented fo r se le c te d occupations in several in d u stries or trades
in which the great m ajority o f the workers are employed under
terms o f co llectiv e-b a rg a in in g agreements, and the contract or
minimum ra tes are b elieved to be in d ica tiv e of p revailin g pay
p r a c tic e s.
Data are c o lle cted and summarized on s h ift operations
and d iffe r e n t ia ls , hours of work, and supplementary b e n efits
such as vacation allow ances, paid h olid ays, and insurance and
pension p la n s.
The San Francisco-Oakland
Metropolitan Area
Like other large m etropolitan areas of the Far West, 2 /
the San F rancisco Bay Area is marked by a predominance of b u si
ness a c tiv ity in trad e, fin an ce, and se r v ic e s. Long dependent
on a v a rie ty of manufactured products from the E ast, the 6county area 3 / remains la rg ely the shipping and commercial mart
i t has been h is to r ic a lly . This is e sp e c ia lly true fo r the City
l / See appendix for discu ssion of scope and method of sur
vey. D ifferen ces between the scope of th is survey and the la s t
previous survey (January 1952) are indicated in the appendix
ta b le .

SAN FRANCISCO-OAKLAND, CALIF.
of San F rancisco, where tw o-thirds of the working population are
employed in such en terp rises. Decent years have shown marked
gains in manufactiming in d u stries in Oakland and other East Bay
c i t i e s , however.
T otal wage and salary employees (excluding a g ricu l
tu ra l workers) numbered more than 900,000 in January 1953. Of
th ese, more than 376,000 were employed in trade, finan ce, and
serv ices; 2 1 5 ,0 0 0 were in w holesale and r e t a il trade; 5^,000
were in fin a n c ia l in s titu tio n s (inclu ding insurance carriers
and r e a l esta te operators); and 107,000 worked in the service
in d u stries. There were about 180,000 workers in manufacturing;
103,000 In tran sp ortation , communication, and other public u t i l
i t ie s ; 59,000 in contract construction; and 1 ,5 0 0 in mining.
Among the in d u stries and estab lish m en t-size groups
included in the Bureau’s study, more than 90 percent of Bay
Area plant workers were employed in establishm ents having w rit
ten contracts w ith labor unions in January 1953. Most of the
plant workers in manufacturing, public u t i l i t i e s , and w holesale
trade were employed under union contract term s. In r e t a il
trade and the serv ice in d u stries, 90 percent were in organized
establish m en ts.
The San Francisco Bay Area tr a d itio n a lly has been one
of the stron gest centers of trade union influence in the United
S ta te s. In recent years i t has become w idely known as a center
of exten sive management organization a ls o . Federations of em
ployer groups, u su a lly formed along industry lin e s , bargain c o l
le c tiv e ly w ith the labor groups. This m aster-type arrangement
has emerged as the general pattern in Bay Area in d u stria l r e la
tio n s . In ea rly 1953, about th ree-fou rths of a l l union members
in the area worked under the terms of such agreements.
Bate le v e ls of Bay Area plant workers (manufacturing
and nonmanufacturing combined) compare favorably with those in
such areas as D etroit and P ittsburgh, c h ie fly characterized by
heavy industry and high pay. In surveys conducted in 1951-52,
the pay p o sitio n of San Francisco-Oakland plant workers in in
d irect jobs was found to exceed the le v e l fo r comparable workers
in both D etroit and P ittsburgh, as w ell as in 37 other large
U. S. labor markets, k j Average earnings for comparable occu
pations were u su a lly higher in manufacturing than in nonmanu
factu rin g in these areas. The comparative pay p o sition of Bay
Area workers is thus a l l the more strik in g when the in d u stria l
com position of th is area as described e a r lie r is considered.

Markets," Monthly Labor Beview, December 1952 (p. 620).

Occupational Wage Structure
Wages of all but a negligible proportion
of the BayArea plant workers were b a sed on formally- established wage struc
tures in early 1953*
Three-fourths of all time-rated production
workers were employed in establishments
that determined pay on
a single-rate system.
E x cept for a small number of workers whose
pay was ba s e d on individual determination, the remainder of the
time-rated plant workers were employed under plans providing a
range of rates fo r individual occupations.
Am o n g the industry
groups surveyed, o n l y the public utility group had a p r e p onder
ance of workers under rate-range structures.
In manufacturing,
9 0 percent
were p aid according to a ingle-rate systems and this
scaled d own thr o u g h other industry groups
to 7 0 percent in r e
tail trade.
Incentive-rate systems of p ay were rarely employed
in manufacturing industries, except apparel, and only in retail
trade to any extent in nonmanufacturing.
Skilled plant workers in most of the maintenance jobs
surveyed averaged $2.20 or more a n hour in January 1953.
These
included electricians, machinists, painters,
and
pipe fitters
at averages b e t w e e n $ 2 . 2 0 a nd $ 2 .3 0 ; auto mechanics, carpenters,
and tool-and-die makers averaged somewhat more. These craftsmen
as a group had slightly more t han a 2 0 -percent advantage in pay
over their helpers who averaged $1.81+ a n hour.
In other
jobs
requiring skill b r o a d ly comparable
to that
of the maintenance
trades helper, oilers had an hourly average of $ 1 .8 0 , stationary
boiler f i r emen $ 1 .9 9 > and truck drivers
fro m $ 1 . 9 6 to $ 2 .1 3 ,
depending on t r uck w eight capacity.
Representative of oc c u p a
tions requiring little
or no
training are material handling
laborers and m e n packers an routine tasks.
These averaged $1.77
and $1.75, respectively.
In the custodial workers* group,
m en
janitors, porters,
and cleaners had a $ 1 . 5 0 average and w a t c h
m e n received $ 1 .5 3 .
A m o n g office workers,
salary structures were f o r m a l
ized in establishments employing a little more than two-thirds
of the workers
in the industries surveyed.
F o r a large m a j o r
ity,
the systems called for a specified salary range
for each
occupation.
Individual determination was the basis
on w h i c h
pay was fixed for the remainder,
except for a small number on
single-rate systems.
The predominance
of salary-range
plans
was evident in e a c h of the industry groups taken separately e x
cept wholesale trade, where pay for a m a j ority of office workers
was set on a n individual basis.
Average salaries
in most w o m e n * s
office cl a s s i f i c a
tions studied were more than $ 5 5 a week. In occupations d e m a n d
ing considerable responsibility an d a wi d e k n o wledge of office
procedures, women earned almost !+ 0 p e r c e n t m ore t h a n in jobs of
a routine nature requiring no special abilities.
Secretaries
averaged $ 6 9 a week,
payroll clerks
$ 6 2 .5 0 , an d experienced
bookkeeping-machine
operators,
$62.
A t the other end of the
scale, routine file clerks had an average $1*4.50 salary, office
girls $46.50, and copy typists $ 1+9 .
The prevalence
of rate-range systems
in office p ay
and the single-rate system in plant structure p r o b a b l y accounts
in some part for the proportionately w i d e r spread
in average
earnings b e t w e e n high and low skills
a m ong
office workers, as
contrasted w i t h plant workers.
More than 20 percent
of the plant workers
in m a n u
facturing were employed on late shifts in J anuary 1953.
Nearly
all these workers received premium rates of pay.
Mo s t common
second-shift differentials were 5 -cents-an-hour
or 1 0 -percent
additions to day rates; third-shift workers t y p ically were paid
hourly shift differentials of 10 or 12 cents.
In the m a c h i n e r y
industry, differentials were on a percentage b a s i s exclusively,
w i t h the second and third shift wor k e r s r e c e i v i n g 1 0 - and 1 5 percent premiums, respectively.
F e w workers in the Bay Area, office or plant, w ere on
a workweek schedule
of more than 1+0 hours.
For nearly threefourths of the women office workers, the schedule was 1+0 hours,
w i t h the remainder on shorter hours.
A l m o s t half the w o m e n e m
ployed in financial offices worked less t han 1+ 0 hours
a week.
For plant workers, the general practice wa s 1+0 hours.
Nonwage benefits,
which have b e c o m e increasingly i m
portant in recent years as bargaining issues in labor-management
negotiations, are well established in the B a y A r e a wage economy.
A l l workers in the surveyed industry groups ha d paid vacations,
scaled to longer periods
and more pa y w i t h increased service;
a ll b ut a small percentage
of plant workers
were
employed in
establishments granting paid holidays; and more t h a n 9 0 percent
of both plant and office employees w o r k e d for firms
that p r o
vided
insurance or pension plans p a i d w h o l l y
or in part b y
management.

Occupational Wage Survey, San Francisco-O akland, C a l i f . , January 1953
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau o f Labor S t a t i s t i c s

Appendix - Scope and Method of Survey
The Bureau*s occupational wage surveys are designed to
provide a maximum of useful and reliable information with availa
ble resourceso
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.
such jobs were included only for firms
ments of the broad industry divisions.
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.
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.
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 inter establishment 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-4).
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
s tu d ie d .

Among the industries in which characteristic jobs were
studied, minimum size of establishment and extent of the area cov
ered 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
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 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
leadmen 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
