L 2 .3 : /JXMEA WAGE SURVEY Omaha, Nebraska—Iowa, Metropolitan Area October 1974 Bulletin 1850-10 DOCUMENT COLLECTION J U N 2 4 1975 Dayton & Montgomery Co. Public Library U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Bureau of Labor Statistics A N N O U N C EM EN T Area Wage Survey bulletins will be issued once every 3 years. These bulletins will contain information on establishment practices and supplementary benefits as well as earnings. In the interim years, supplements containing data on earnings only will be issued at no additional cost to holders of the Area Wage bulletin. If you wish to receive these supplements, please complete the coupons listed on page 31 of this bulletin and mail to any of the BLS regional addresses listed on the back cover. No further action on your part is necessary. Each year, you will receive the supplement when it is published. Preface This bulletin provides results of an October 1974 survey of occupational earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Omaha, Nebraska—Iowa, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (Douglas and Sarpy Counties, Nebraska; and Pottawattamie County, Iowa). The survey was made as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual area wage survey program. The program is designed to yield data for individual metropolitan a reas, as well as national and regional estimates for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical A reas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. A major consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to describe the level and movement of wages in a variety of labor m arkets, through the analysis of (1) the level and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level. The program develops information that may be used for many purposes, including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and assistance in determining plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S. Department of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965. Currently, 79 areas are included in the program . (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data are collected annually. Information on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits is obtained every third year. Results of the next two annual surveys, providing earnings data only, will be issued as free supplements to this bulletin. The supplements may be obtained from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover for addresses.) Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been completed, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed. The second summary bulletin presents national and regional estim ates, projected from individual metropolitan area data. The Omaha survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Kansas City, M o ., under the general direction of Edward Chaiken, A ssociate A ssistant Regional Director for Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the many firm s whose wage and salary data provided the basis for the statistical information in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to express sincere appreciation for the cooperation received. Note: A current report on occupational earnings and supplementary wage provisions in the Omaha area is available for the laundry and dry cleaning industry. A lso available are listings of union wage rates for building trades, printing trades, local-transit operating em ployees, local truckdrivers and helpers, and grocery store employees. Free copies of these are available from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover for addresses.) AREA WAGE SURVEY Bulletin 1850-10 February 1975 V U.S. D E P A R T M E N T O F LA BO R, Peter J.

Introduction This area is 1 of 79 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 - 1 through A - 6 provide estimates of straight-tim e 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 sim ilar 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 em ploy 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 -se r ie s tables The B -se rie s tables present information on minimum entrance salaries for office workers; late-sh ift 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-tim e earnings information is presented. A.

Footnotes A ll of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin. I Standard hours reflect the workweek for which em ployees receive their regular straight-tim e sa la rie s (exclusive of pay for overtim e at regular a n d /o r prem ium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours. c The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of w o rk ers. The median designates position— half of the em ployees surveyed receive m ore and half receive le ss than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn le ss than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn m ore than the higher rate. 3 Excludes prem ium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. 4 These sa la ries relate to form ally established m inim um starting (hiring) regular straigh t-tim e sa la ries that are paid for standard workweeks. 5 Excludes w orkers in su bclerical jobs such as m e ssen g er. 6 Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the m ost common standard workweeks reported. 7 Includes all plant workers in establishm ents currently operating late sh ifts, and establishments whose form al provisions cover late shifts, even though the establishm ents were not currently operating late shifts. 8 L e ss than 0.05 percent. 9 L e ss than 0.5 percent. 10 For purposes of this study, pay for a Sunday in D ecem ber, 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 exam ple, the proportion of w orkers 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. 12 A C hristm as— New Year holiday period is an unbroken series of holidays which includes C hristm as E ve, C hristm as Day, New Y e a r 's Eve, and New Y e a r 's Day. Such a holiday period is common in the automobile, aerospace, and fa rm im plem ent industries. 1 "F lo a tin g " holidays vary from year to y ear according to em ployer or employee choice. 3 1 Includes payments other than "length of t i m e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or fla t-s u m paym ents, converted to an 4 equivalent tim e b a sis; for exam ple, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 week’ s pay. P eriods of serv ice are chosen arb itrarily and do not n ece ssa rily reflect individual provisions for progression ; for exam ple, changes in proportions at 10 y ea rs include changes between 5 and 10 y e a r s. E stim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 w eeks' pay after 10 y ea rs includes those eligible for at least 3 w eeks' pay after fewer y ears of serv ice. 1 E stim ates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the em ployer. "Noncontributory 5 plan s" include only those financed entirely by the em ployer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as w orkm en's com pensation, social security, and railroad retirem ent. 1 Unduplicated total of w orkers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below . Sick leave plans are 8 lim ited to those which definitely establish at lea st the m inim um number of days' pay that each em ployee can expect.

Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions The B -series tables provide information on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions for full-tim e plant and office workers. ’’ Plant w orkers" include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Cafeteria workers and routemen are excluded from manufacturing, but included in nonmanufacturing industries. "Office workers" include working supervisors and nonsupervisory workers performing clerical or related functions. Administrative, executive, professional, and part-time employees are excluded. Part-time employees are those hired to work a schedule calling regularly for fewer weekly hours than the establishment's schedule for full-tim e employees in the same general type of work. The determination is based on the employer's distinction between the two groups' which may take into account not only differences in work schedules but differences in pay and benefits. Minimum entrance salaries for office workers relate only to the establishments visited. (See table B -l .) Because of the optimum sampling techniques used and the probability that large establishments are more likely than small establishments to have formal entrance rates above the subciericai level, the table is more representative of policies in medium and large establishments. Shift differential data are limited to full-time plant workers in manufacturing industries. (See table B -2 .) This information is presented in term s of (1) establishment policy 3 for total plant worker employment, and (2) effective practice for workers employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a majority is used. In establishments having some late-shift hours paid at normal rates, a differential is recorded only if it applies to a majority of the shift hours. A second (evening) shift ends work at or near midnight. A third (night) shift starts work at or near midnight. The scheduled weekly hours and days of a majority of the first-shift workers in an establish ment are tabulated as applying to all full-tim e plant or office workers of that establishment. (See table B -3.) Scheduled weekly hours and days are those which a majority of full-tim e employees are expected to work for straight-time or overtime rates. Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated statistically as applying to all full-time plant or office workers if a majority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the practices listed. (See tables B -4 through B -6 .) Sums of individual items in tables B -2 through B -5 may not equal totals because of rounding. The summary of vacation plans is a statistical measure of vacation provisions rather than a measure of the proportion of full-time workers actually receiving specific benefits. (See table B -5 .) Provisions apply to all plant or office workers in an establishment regardless of length of service. Payments on other than a time basis are converted to a time period; for example, 2 percent' of annual earnings are considered equivalent to 1 week's pay. Only basic plans are included. Estimates exclude vacation bonuses, vacation-savings plans, and "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans. Such provisions are typical in the steel, aluminum, and can industries. Health, insurance, and pension plans for which the employer pays at least a part of the cost include those (1) underwritten by a commercial insurance company or nonprofit organization, (2) provided through a union fund, or (3) paid directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose. (See table B -6 .) An establishment is considered to have such a plan if the majority of employees are covered even though less than a majority participate under the plan because employees are required to contribute toward the cost. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workmen's compensation, social security, and railroad retirement. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of insurance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly to the insured during temporary 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 temporary disability insurance laws requiring employer contributions,4 plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes 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 limited to formal plans5 which provide full pay or a proportion of the worker's pay during absence from work because of illness. Separate tabulations are presented according to (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans which provide either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presentation of proportions of workers provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of workers who receive either or both types of benefits. Long term disability insurance plans provide payments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sickness and accident insurance, or after a predetermined period of disability (typically 6 months). Payments are made until the end of the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Full or partial payments are almost always reduced by social security, workmen's compensation, and private pensions benefits payable to the disabled employee. Data on paid holidays are limited to holidays granted annually on a formal basis, which (1) are provided for in written form, or (2) are established by custom. (See table B -4 .) Holidays ordinarily granted are included even though they may fall on a nonworkday and the worker is not granted another day off. The first part of the paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays actually granted. The second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday time. Table B -4a reports the incidence of the most common paid holidays. Major medical insurance plans protect employees from sickness and injury expenses beyond the coverage of basic hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. Typical features of major medical plans are (1) a "deductible" (e.g., $50) paid by the insured before benefits begin; (2) a coinsurance feature requiring the insured to pay a portion (e.g., 20 percent) of certain expenses; and (3) stated dollar maximum benefits (e.g., $ 10,000 a year). Medical insurance provides complete or partial payment of doctors' fees. Dental insurance usually covers fillings, extractions, and X -ra y s. Excluded are plans which cover only oral surgery or accident damage. Retirement pension plans provide payments for the remainder of the worker's life. 1 An estab lish m e n t w as con sid e red as h av in g a p o lic y if it m e t e ith er o f the fo llo w in g con dition s: (1 ) O p erated la t e shifts a t th e tim e o f the survey, or (2 ) had fo rm a l provisions c ov e rin g la t e shifts.

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. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used to classify establishments by industry division. 3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in industries such as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. 4 Includes executive, professional, part-tim e, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories. 5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A - and B -series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. Omaha's gas, electric utilities, and local-transit system are municipally operated and are excluded by definition from the scope of the study. 6 This division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A -s e rie s tables, and for "all industries" in the B -series tables. Separate presentation of data is not made for one or more of the following reasons: (1) Employment is too small to provide enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. 7 Workers from this entire division are represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A -s e rie s tables, but from the real estate portion only in estimates for "a ll industries" in the B -s e rie s tables. Separate presentation of data is not made for one or more of the reasons given in footnote 6. 8 Hotels and m otels; 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. Industrial composition in manufacturing Over one-third of the workers within scope of the survey in the Omaha area were employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the major industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing: Industry groups Specific industries Food and kindred products______ 31 Electrical equipment and sup plies_________________________ 2 1 Machinery, except e le c tr ic a l_________________________ 9 Fabricated metal products______ 8 Furniture and fix tu re s __________ 6 Printing and publishing__________ 5 Communication equipment_____ 19 Meat products__________________ 15 General industrial m achinery____________________ 5 Labor-management agreement coverage The following tabulation shows the percent of full-tim e plant and office workers employed in establishments in which a union contract or contracts covered a majority of the workers in the respective categories, Omaha, Nebr.— Iowa, October 1974: This information is based on estimates of total employment derived from universe materials compiled before actual survey. Proportions in various industry divisions may differ from proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in the appendix table. Plant workers All industries-------------------Manufacturing____________ Public u tilitie s----------------- Office workers 58 77 99 20 7 79 An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all plant or office workers if a majority of such workers are covered by a labor-management agreement. Therefore, all other plant or office workers are employed in establishments that either do not have labor-management contracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer than half of their plant or office workers. Estimates are not necessarily representative of the extent to which all workers in the area may be covered by the provisions of labor-management agreements, because small establishments are excluded and the industrial scope of the survey is limited.
