10 Comparisons were not made for 22 areas where data did not meet publication criteria for
either all industries or manufacturing.
11 Only three-tenths of the Nation's auto mechanics were employed in manufacturing, compared
with nine-tenths of the aggregate employment in the other skilled maintenance occupations. Thus,
wide differences in the manufacturing and nonmanufacturing averages of auto mechanics will cause
differences between the all-industry and manufacturing relatives.

16 See George L. Stelluto, "Report on Incentive Pay in Manufacturing Industries," Monthly
Labor Review, July 1969, pp. 49—53. Stelluto compared information on 18 selected industries in
which matched surveys were conducted between 1963 and the spring of 1968. Proportions of pro
duction and related workers paid under incentive wage plans were virtually unchanged for most
of the industries— those manufacturing cigars and certain types of nonelectrical machinery had experi
enced substantial declines. He concluded that it appeared unlikely that substantial shifts in the
incidence of incentive-paid workers would occur over the next few years in those industries which
are firmly committed to wage incentives (such as apparel and footwear manufacturing), or in
machine-paced industries where few incentive-paid workers are found.

The findings relate to actual proportions of plantwoxkers and officeworkers under basic
types of wage payment plans. In establishments where more than one type of wage payment plan
existed, the number of workers under each type was reported.
15 See Wages and Related Benefits, Part II; Metropolitan Areas, United States and Regional
Summaries, 1962-63 (ELS Bulletin 1345-83), pp. 61-64. These survey findings showed 4 out of
5 plantworkers receiving time pay.

5 S in gle-rate plans provide the sam e rate to all experienced w orkers in the sam e job classifica tion .
L e a r n e r s , apprentices, and probationary w orkers m ay start at a rate below the sin g le-ra te
c lassifica tion and achieve full rate over a period of t im e .
6 R a n g e -o f- rate plans specify the m inim um or m axim um r a t e s , or both, paid experienced w orkers for the sam e job classifica tion .
7 Incentive m ethods include piecew ork, production bon u ses, or c o m m ission s for which a predeterm ined rate is paid for each unit of output. Production bonuses are based on production over a quota
or on completion of a job in le ss than standard tim e .
C om m issio n s are based on a percentage of sales or on a combination of salary plus a percentage.
8 L e ss than 0.5 percent.




Frequency of W a g e P aym en t
About 8 of every 10 plantworkers in metropolitan areas were
paid weekly in 1969—
70. Another 14 percent were paid biweekly; most
of the remaining were paid semimonthly. L e ss than 0.5 percent were
paid on a monthly or other b asis. (See table 7.)
The weekly pay schedule was the most common for officew orkers, but was not as prevalent as for plantworkers. Forty-one
percent of the off i c ewo rkers were paid weekly, compared with 29
percent paid biweekly and 28 percent semimonthly. Another 2 percent
of the officeworkers were paid monthly.
Weekly pay schedules applied to 91 percent of the plantworkers in the Northeast, compared with about 80 percent in the
South and North Central Regions and 68 percent in the West. Most




of the remaining plantworkers in these regions were paid biweekly.
For officeworkers, most common pay schedules were weekly in
the Northeast and South, and semimonthly in the North Central
and West.
Among the six broad industry divisions studied, the weekly
payment schedule for plantworkers was most prevalent in manufac
turing (88 percent) and least prevalent in public utilities (56 per
cent). Thirty percent of the plantworkers in public utilities were
paid biweekly; another 14 percent were paid semimonthly. Among
officeworkers, the weekly payment schedule was m ost common in
retail trade (75 percent) and least common in finance (18 percent).

1 Includes basic plans only. Excludes plans such as vacation-savings and those plans which offer "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans to workers having qualifying lengths of
service. Typical of such exclusions are plans in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.
2 For definition of regions, see footnote 3 to the table in appendix A.
3 See footnote 2, table B - l .
4 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.
5 See footnote 5, table B -2.
6 Less than 0.5 percent.
7 Includes payments other than "length of tim e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-sum payments, converted to an equivalent time basis; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual
earnings was considered as 1 week's pay. Periods of service were chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily reflect the individual provisions for progression. For example, the changes in proportions
indicated at 10 years' service include changes in provisions occurring between 5 and 10 years. Estimates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for 3 weeks' pay or more after 5 years includes
‘hose eligible for 3 weeks' pay or more after fewer years of service.

1 229 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) as established by the Office of
Management and Budget (formerly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 The regions are defined as follows; Northeast— Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont; South— Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia; North
Central— Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin;
West— Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
4 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation (50 employees). In 12 of the largest areas,
the minimum size was 100 employees or more in manufacturing, public utilities, and retail trade firms.
5 Totals include executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories. The estimates
shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. They
are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other employment data for the area to measure employment trends or
levels, since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period
studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the studies.
6 Excludes taxicabs, services incidental to water transportation, and municipally operated establishments.
7 Estimate relates only to real estate establishments. Workers from the entire industry division are represented in the Series A
tables, but from the real estate portion only in "a ll industry" estimates in the Series B tables.
8 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion
pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.

A p p e n d ix B . O c c u p a tio n a l D e s c r ip tio n s
The p rim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the B u reau 's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field staff in classify in g into appropriate
occupations w orkers who a re employed under a variety of payroll title s and different work arrangem en ts from establishm ent to establishm ent and
from a re a to a re a .
This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rate s representing com parable job content. B ecau se of this em phasis on
in terestablishm ent and in terarea com parability of occupational content, the B u reau 's job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared ' for other p urp oses. In applying these job d escrip tion s, the B u reau 's field econom ists a re instructed
to exclude working su p e rv iso rs; apprentices; le a rn e rs; beginners; train ees; and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
