Introduction
This area is 1 of 82 in which the U.S. Department of Labor’ s
Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and
related benefits on an areawide basis. In this area, data were obtained
by personal visits of Bureau field economists to representative estab
lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transpor
tation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail
trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major industry
groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the
construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than
a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient
employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided
for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.
A -series tables
Tables A - l through A -6 provide estimates of straight-time
hourly or weekly earnings for workers in occupations common to a
variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupations
were selected from the following categories: (a) Office clerical, (b) pro
fessional and technical, (c) maintenance and powerplant, and (d) custodial
and material movement. In the 31 largest survey areas, tables A -l a
through A -6 a provide similar data for establishments employing 500
workers or more.
Following the occupational wage tables is table A - 7 which
provides percent changes in average earnings of office clerical work
ers, electronic data processing workers, industrial nurses, skilled
maintenance workers, and unskilled plant workers. This measure of
wage trends eliminates changes in average earnings caused by employ
ment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments
included in survey samples. Where possible, data are presented for all
industries, manufacturing, and nonmanufacturing. Appendix A discusses
this wage trend measure.
B -series tables
The B -series tables present information on minimum entrance
salaries for office workers; late-shift pay provisions and practices for
plant workers in manufacturing; and data separately for plant and office
workers on scheduled weekly hours and days of first-sh ift workers; paid
holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans.
Appendixes
This bulletin has two appendixes. Appendix A describes the
methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program. It provides
information on the scope of the area survey and information on the area's
industrial composition in manufacturing. It also provides information
on labor-management agreement coverage. Appendix B provides job
descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify workers in
occupations for which straight-time earnings information is presented.

Footnotes
All of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin.
1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime
at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of workers. The median
designates position— half of the employees surveyed receive more and half receive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined
by two rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than the higher rate,
3 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
4 These salaries relate to formally established minimum starting (hiring) regular straight-time salaries that are paid for standard
w orkw eeks.
5
6
Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as m essenger.
Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the most common standard workweeks reported.
I Includes all plant workers in establishments currently operating late shifts, and establishments whose formal provisions cover late
shifts, even though the establishments were not currently operating late shifts.
8 L ess than 0.05 percent.
9 L ess than 0.5 percent.
10 For purposes of this study, pay for a Sunday in December, negotiated in the automobile industry, is not treated as a paid holiday.
II A ll combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; for example, the proportion of workers receiving
a total of 9 days includes those with 9 full days and no half days, 8 full days and 2 half days, 7 full days and 4 half days, and so on.
Proportions then were cumulated.
xz A Christmas—New Year holiday period is an unbroken series of holidays which includes Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's
Eve, and New Y ea r's Day.
Such a holiday period is common in the automobile, aerospace, and farm implement industries.
1 "F lo atin g " holidays vary from year to year according to employer or employee choice.
3
1 Includes payments other than "length of t i m e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-sum payments, converted to an
4
equivalent time b asis; for example, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 week's pay. Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily
and do not necessarily reflect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in proportions at 10 years include changes between
5 and 10 years. Estim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay after 10 years includes those eligible for
at least 3 weeks' pay after fewer years of service.
1 Estim ates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. "Noncontributory
5
plans" include only those financed entirely by the employer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workmen's compensation, social
security, and railroad retirement.
18 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are
limited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that each employee can expect. Informal sick leave
allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

The 3 - s e r i e s tables provide inform ation on establishm ent p ra ctices and supplem entary wage

w o rk ers and routem en are excluded fro m m anufacturing, but included in nonmanufacturing industries.
'O ffic e w orkers'* include w orking su p e r v is o r s and n onsup ervisory w ork ers p erform ing c le r ic a l or

a d m in istrative, exe cu tive , p ro fe ssio n a l, and part-tim e em ployees are excluded.
P a rt-tim e em ployees are those h ire d to work a schedule calling regularly for few er weekly hours than
the esta blish m en t's schedule fo r fu ll-tim e em ployees in the same general type of w ork. The
determ ination is based on the e m p lo y e r 's distinction between the two groups which may take into
account not only d iffe r e n c e s in work schedules but differen ces in pay and benefits.
M inim um entrance s a la r ie s fo r o ffic e w ork ers relate only to the establishm ents visite d . (See
table B - l ) B ecau se of the optim um sampling techniques used and the probability that large
establishm ents are m ore likely than sm all establishm ents to have form al entrance rates above the
c u b c le ric a l level, the cable is m o re representative of p o licie s in medium and large establishm ents.
Shift differen tial data are lim ited to lu ll-tim e plant w ork ers in manufacturing industries. (See

establishm ents having som e la te -s h ift hours paid at norm al ra tes, a differential is r e co rd e d only if it
applies to a m a jority of the shift h ou rs. A second (evening) shift ends work at o r near midnight. A
hi rd (night) shift starts w ork at or near midnight.
The scheduled w eekly hours and •isys o f a m ajority 01 the firs t-s h ift w ork ers in an e sta b lish

The sum m ary o f vacation plans is a statistical m easu re of vacation p rovision s rather than a
m easure of the proportion of fu ll-tim e w o rk e rs actually receivin g s p e c ific benefits. (See table B -5 .)
P ro v isio n s apply to all plant or o ffic e w o rk e rs in an establishm ent reg a rd less of length of s erv ice.
Paym ents on other than a tim e b a sis are con verted to a tim e p eriod ; fo r exam ple, 2 percent of
innual earnings are c o n s id e re d equivalent to 1 w eek 's pay. Only b a s ic plans are included. Estim ates
exclude vacation bonu ses, v acation -sa vin gs plans, and "exten ded" or "s a b b a tica l" benefits beyond basic
plans. Such p ro v is io n s are typical in the s teel, aluminum, and can industries.
Health, in surance, and pension plans fo r w hich the em p loyer pays at least a part of the cost
include those (1) underwritten by a c o m m e r c ia l insurance com pany or nonprofit organization, (2)
provided through a union fund, o r (3) paid d ire ctly by the em ployer out of current operating funds or
fro m a fund set aside fo r this purpose. (See table B -6 .) An establishm ent is con sidered to have
such a plan if the m a jo rity of em ployees are co v e r e d even though le s s than a m ajority participate
under che plan because em ployees are requ ired to contribute tow ard the cost. Excluded are
legally required plans, such as w ork m en 's com pensation, s o cia l secu rity, and railroad retirem ent.
Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of insurance under which predeterm ined
cash paym ents are m ade d ire ctly to the in su red during tem p orary illn ess or accident disability.
Inform ation is p resented fo r all such plans to which the em p loyer contribu tes. H ow ever, in New
York and New J e r s e y , which have enacted tem p orary disability insurance laws requiring em ployer
co n trib u tio n s ,4 plans are included only if che em p loyer (1) contribu tes m ore than is legally required,
o r (2) p rovides the em ployee with benefits which ex ceed the requirem ents o f the law. Tabulations of
paid sick leave plans are lim ited to form al p la n s 5 w hich provide full pay or a proportion of the
w o r k e r 's pay during absence fro m w ork because of illn e s s . Separate tabulations are presented
accordin g to (1) plans w hich provide full pay and no waiting p eriod , and (2) plans which provide either
partial pay o r a waiting p eriod . In addition to the presentation of p roportion s of w ork ers provided
sick n ess and accident insurance o r paid sick lea ve, an unduplicated total is shown of w ork ers who
re ce iv e eith er o r both types of benefits.
Long te r m disability insurance plans provide paym ents to totally disabled em ployees upon the
expiration of their paid sick leave a n d /o r sick n ess and accident insurance, or after a predeterm ined
p e rio d of disability (typically 6 m onths). Paym ents are m ade until the end of the disability, a
m axim um age, or eligibility fo r retirem ent ben efits. F ull o r partial payments are alm ost always
reduced by s o c ia l se cu rity , w ork m en 's com pensation, and private pensions benefits payable to the
disabled em ployee.
Data on paid holidays are lim ited to holidays granted annually on a fo rm a l b a s is , which (1)
a its orov jd ed for in w ritten fo rm , o r (2) are established by custom . (See table B -4 .) H olidays
o rd in a rily granted are included even though they m ay tall on a nonworkday and the w ork er is not
granted another day off. The fir s t part o f the paid holidays tabae presents the num ber of whole and
half holidays actually granted. The secon d part com bines whole and half holiday s to show total holiday

M ajor m edica l insurance plans p rotect em ployees fro m sick n ess and injury expenses beyond
the cov e ra g e of b a s ic hospitalization, m e d ica l, and su rgica l plans. T yp ica l features of m ajor m edical
plans are (1) a "d e d u ctib le " (e .g ., $ 5 0 ) paid by the insured b e fo re benefits begin; (2) a coin surance
feature requiring the insured to pay a portion (e .g ., 20 p ercent) of certain expenses; and (3) stated
d olla r m axim um benefits (e .g ., $ 10,000 a y e a r). M edical insurance p rovides com plete o r partial
payment of d o c to r s ' fe e s . Dental insurance usually c o v e r s fillin g s , extra ction s, and X -r a y s . Excluded
are plans w hich c o v e r only oral su rgery or accident dam age.
Retirem ent pension plans provide
