Introduction
This area is 1 of 90 in which the U.S. Department of L a b o r's
Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings
and related benefits on an areawide b a s is .1 In this area, data were
obtained by person al v isits of Bureau field econ om ists to re p re se n t­
ative establishm ents within six broad industry d ivision s: Manu­
facturing; transportation, com m unication, and other public u tilities;
w holesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and
s e r v ic e s . M ajor industry groups excluded fro m these studies are
governm ent operations and the construction and extractive industries.
Establishm ents having few er than a p re scrib e d number of w ork ers are
om itted because they tend to furnish insufficient em ploym ent in the
occupati.ons studied to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are
provided fo r each of the broad industry divisions which m eet pu bli­
cation crite ria .

Occupational employm ent and earnings data are shown for
fu ll-tim e w o rk e rs, i.e ., those hired to w ork a regular w eekly schedule
in the given occupational cla ssifica tion . Earnings data exclude p r e ­
mium pay fo r overtim e and for w ork on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but co s t-o f-liv in g
allow ances and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours
are rep orted , as for office c le r ic a l occupations, referen ce is to the
standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which em ­
ployees re ce iv e their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay
for overtim e at regular a n d /or prem ium rates). A verage w eekly earn ­
ings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half d ollar.
The averages presented reflect com p osite, areawide e s ti­
m ates. Industries and establishm ents differ in pay level and job
staffing and, thus, contribute differen tly to the estim ates for each job .
The pay relationship obtainable from the averages may fail to reflect
a ccu rately the wage spread or differential maintained among jobs ip.
individual establishm ents. S im ilarly, d ifferen ces in average pay le v ­
els for men and wom en in any of the selected occupations should
not be assum ed to re fle ct d ifferen ces in pay treatm ent of the sexes
within individual establishm ents. Other p ossible factors which may
contribute to d ifferen ces in pay for men and wom en include: D iffe r­
ences in p ro g re ssio n within established rate ran ges, since only the
actual rates paid incumbents are collected ; and d ifferen ces in sp ecific
duties p e rform ed , although the w ork ers are cla ssified appropriately
within the same survey job descrip tion . Job descriptions used in
classifying em ployees in these surveys are usually m ore generalized
than those used in individual establishm ents and allow for m inor
d ifferen ces among establishm ents in the sp ecific duties p erform ed .

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of
the u nn ecessary cost involved in surveying all establishm ents. To
obtain optimum a ccu ra cy at minimum co st, a greater proportion of
large than of sm all establishm ents is studied. In combining the data,
h ow ever, all establishm ents are given their appropriate weight. E s ­
tim ates based on the establishm ents studied are presented, th e re fo re ,
as relating to all establishm ents in the industry grouping and area,
except for those below the minimum size studied.
Occupations and Earnings
The occupations selected for study are com m on to a variety
of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing in du stries, and are of the
follow ing types: (1) O ffice c le r ic a l; (2) p rofession a l and technical;
(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m aterial m o v e ­
ment. Occupational cla ssifica tion is based on a uniform set of job
d escrip tion s designed to take account of inter establishm ent variation
in duties within the same job . The occupations selected fo r study
are listed and d escrib ed in the appendix. The earnings data follow ing
the job titles are for all industries com bined. Earnings data for some
of the occupations listed and d e scrib e d , or fo r som e industry divisions
within occupations, are not presented in the A -s e r ie s tables, because
either (1) em ploym ent in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough
data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is p o ssib ility of d isclo su re
of individual establishm ent data.

Occupational employm ent estim ates represen t the total in
all establishm ents within the scope of the study and not the number
actually surveyed. B ecause of d ifferen ces in occupational structure
among establishm ents, the estim ates of occupational em ploym ent ob ­
tained fro m the sam ple of establishm ents studied serve only to indicate
the relative im portance of the jobs studied. These d ifferen ces in
occupational structure do not affect m aterially the a ccu ra cy of the
earnings data.
Establishm ent P r a ctice s and Supplementary Wage P rovision s

1
Included in the 90 areas are four studies conducted under contract with the New York State
Department of Labor. These areas are Binghamton (New York portion only); Rochester (office occu ­
pations only); Syracuse; and Utica—Rome. In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies
in 91 areas at the request of the Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions of the U. S. De­
partment of Labor.




1

Inform ation is presented (in the B -s e r ie s tables) on selected
establishm ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary wage provision s as they
relate to plant and office w o rk ers. A dm inistrative, executive, and
p rofession a l em p loyees, and construction w ork ers who are utilized
as a separate w ork fo r c e are excluded. "P lant w ork ers" include

2
working forem en and all n onsu p ervisory w ork ers (including lea d men and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. "O ffice w o rk e rs"
include working su p erv isors and n onsupervisory w ork ers p erform in g
c le r ic a l or related functions. C afeteria w ork ers and routem en are
excluded in manufacturing in d u stries, but included in nonmanufacturing
industries.
M inimum entrance sa la ries for wom en o ffice w ork ers (table
B - l) relate only to the establishm ents visited . B ecause of the optimum
sampling techniques used, and the p robability that large e sta b lish ­
ments are m ore lik ely to have form a l entrance rates fo r w ork ers
above the s u b cle rica l level than sm all establishm ents, the table is
m ore-rep re s e n ta tiv e of p o licie s in m edium and large establishm ents.
Shift differential data (table B -2) are lim ited to plant w ork ers
in manufacturing industries. This inform ation is presented both in
term s of (1) establishm ent p o lic y ,2 presented in term s of total plant
w orker em ploym ent, and (2) effective p r a ctice , presented in term s
of w ork ers actually em ployed on the sp ecified shift at the tim e of the
survey. In establishm ents having varied d ifferen tia ls, the amount
applying to a m a jority was used o r , if no amount applied to a m a jority,
the cla ssifica tio n "o th e r" was used. In establishm ents in which som e
la te-sh ift hours are paid at norm al ra tes, a differen tial was re co rd e d
only if it applied to a m a jority of the shift hours.
The scheduled w eekly hours (table B -3) of a m a jority of the
fir s t-s h ift w ork ers in an establishm ent are tabulated as applying to
all of the plant or o ffice w ork ers of that establishm ent. Scheduled
w eekly hours are those which fu ll-tim e em ployees w ere expected to
w ork , whether they w ere paid fo r at straight-tim e or overtim e rates.
Paid h olidays; paid vacations; health, insurance, and pension
plans; and prem ium pay for overtim e w ork (tables B -4 through B -7)
are treated sta tistica lly on the b a sis that these are applicable to all
plant or office w ork ers if a m a jority of such w ork ers are eligib le or
m ay eventually qualify fo r the p ra ctice s listed. Sums of individual
item s in tables B -2 through B -7 m ay not equal totals because of
rounding.
Data on paid holidays (table B -4) are lim ited to data on h o li­
days granted annually on a form a l b a sis; i.e ., (1) are provided for
in w ritten fo rm , or (2) have been established by custom . Holidays
ord in arily granted are included even though they m ay fall on a non­
workday and the w ork er is not granted another day off. The first

part of the paid holidays table p resen ts the number of whole and half
holidays actually granted. The second part com bines whole and half
holidays to show total holiday tim e.
The sum m ary of vacation plans (table B -5) is lim ited to a
statistical m easure of vacation p rov ision s. It is not intended as a
m easure of the p rop ortion of w ork ers actually receivin g sp ecific ben e­
fits. P rov ision s of an establishm ent for all lengths of se rv ice w ere
tabulated as applying to all plant or o ffice w ork ers of the establish ­
m ent, reg a rd le ss of length of s e rv ice . P rov ision s for payment on
other than a tim e b a sis w ere converted to a tim e b a sis; for exam ple,
a payment of 2 percen t of annual earnings was con sid ered as the equiv­
alent of 1 w eek 's pay. E stim ates exclude vacation-savin gs plans and
those which offer "exten ded" or "sa b b a tica l" benefits beyond b asic
plans to w ork ers with qualifying lengths of se rv ice . T ypical of such
exclusions are plans in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.
Data on health, in su ran ce, and pension plans (table B -6) in­
clude those plans fo r which the em p loyer pays at least a part of the
cost. Such plans include those underwritten by a co m m e rcia l insurance
company and those provided through a union fund or paid d irectly by
the em ployer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside
for this purpose. An establishm ent was con sid ered to have a plan
if the m a jority of em ployees was eligible to be covered under the
plan, even if le ss than a m a jority elected to participate because em ­
ployees w ere requ ired to contribute tow ard the cost of the plan. L e ­
gally requ ired plans, such as w ork m en 's com pensation, socia l s e ­
cu rity, and ra ilroa d retirem en t w ere excluded.
Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of
insurance under which predeterm ined cash payments are made d irectly
to the insured during illn ess or accident d isability. Inform ation is
presented fo r all such plans to which the em ployer contributes. How­
e v e r, in New Y ork and New J e rse y , which have enacted tem porary
d isability insurance laws which requ ire em ployer contributions, 3 plans
are included only if the em p loyer (1) contributes m ore than is legally
req u ired , or (2) p rovid es the em ployee with benefits which exceed the
requirem ents of the law. Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are
lim ited to form a l plans 4 which provide full pay or a prop ortion of the
w o r k e r 's pay during absence from w ork becau se of illn e ss. Separate
tabulations are presented accord in g to (1) plans which provide full pay
and no waiting p e rio d , and (2) plans which provide either partial pay
or a waiting p e riod . In addition to the presentation of the proportion s
of w ork ers who are provided sick n ess and accident insurance or paid
sick lea ve, an unduplicated total is shown of w ork ers who re ceiv e
either or both types of ben efits.
