The system of worker compensation in American industry is a complex amalgama­
tion. In addition to pay for time worked, most employers provide their employees with
paid vacations and holidays; insurance, both legally required and privately sponsored, that
gives them and their dependents financial protection in case of death, accident, illness,
temporary unemployment, retirement, and other hazards and eventualities; and similar
programs. The expenditures made by employers for these programs and pay for time
worked are, together, a measure of employee compensation.
This bulletin presents the results of the Bureau of Labor Statistic’s second biennial
study o f employer expenditures for employee compensation in the private nonfarm econ­
omy. A summary of die survey results was published in a Department of Labor news re­
lease (USDL 11-197) on May 11, 1970. A preliminary analysis was included in an article
describing the evolution of the American compensation structure and the development of
the program designed to measure changes in that structure which appeared in the M ontitly
Labor Review for October 1970.
Data are tabulated on the level and structure o f compensation in all industries and
separately for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. Information is shown separately for
office and nonoffice employees.
The bulletin was prepared in the Bureau’s Office o f Wages and Industrial Relations,
Division o f General Compensation Structures, under the general direction of Alvin Bauman.

C h a p te r I. Em ployee Com pensation
The other two significant components of compensa­
tion, nonproduction bonuses and unemployment benefit
programs, accounted for 1.0 and 0.9 percent of compen­
sation, respectively. Expenditures for both declined
slightly as a proportion of compensation between 1966
and 1968.
Compensation in manufacturing industries was $4.21
a working hour, 51 cents more than in nonmanufacturing.
The compensation level of manufacturing workers had
increased 11 percent since 1966 compared with 15 per­
cent for nonmanufacturing workers. Pay for working
time was $3.41 an hour in manufacturing compared with
$3.11 an hour in nonmanufacturing. About three-fourths
of this difference was due to higher straight-time pay;
the other one-fourth to higher premium pay.
Pay for leave made up 6.2 percent of compensation
for manufacturing workers compared with 4.7 percent
for nonmanufacturing workers in 1968. This difference
was greater than it had been in 1966, because leave pay
increased 0.4 of a percentage point in manufacturing as
a proportion of compensation and remained unchanged
in nonmanufacturing. This pattern also held true for
health and insurance programs. Payments for these pro­
grams accounted for 4.2 percent of all manufacturing
compensation in 1968 compared with 3.4 percent in
nonmanufacturing establishments. The proportion of
compensation spent for such programs rose 0.4 percent­
age point in manufacturing but did not change in non­
manufacturing between 1966 and 1968. The difference
in retirement expenditures was much less as a proportion
of compensation.Manufacturing establishments expended
6.3 percent of total compensation on retirement pro­
grams, nonmanufacturing establishments, 5.9 percent.
Expenditures in both industry groups have increased
0.4 percentage point since 1966. The level of bonus pay­
ments and expenditures for unemployment benefit pro­
grams were almost identical in manufacturing and non­
manufacturing, and expenditures for both declined as a
proportion of compensation between 1966 and 1968.

General level and com position

Employee compensation in the private nonfarm
economy amounted to $3.89 a working hour in 1968.
(See table 1.) This amount was 13.1 percent or 45 cents
higher than the level in 1 9 6 6 ,1 when the Bureau con­
ducted a similar study. Over four-fifths of this increase
was in the form of more pay for time worked. During
1968, employees were paid $3.22 or 82.8 percent of
their total compensation for time spent at work. Of this
amount, straight-time pay was $3.13 and premium pay
9 cents. Almost 90 percent of the remaining expendi­
tures went for leave pay (except sick leave), retirement
programs, and health and insurance programs; the other
10 percent consisted of expenditures for unemployment
benefit programs, nonproduction bonuses, and savings
and thrift plans.
Expenditures for retirement programs, the largest
element of compensation other than pay for working
time, accounted for 6.0 percent of compensation and
amounted to 24 cents a working hour in 1968. Social
security accounted for approximately 55 percent and
private pension plans 45 percent of the total retirement
expenditures. Between 1966 and 1968, both social
security and private pension plans increased as a pro­
portion of compensation by 0.2 of a percentage point
and in cost an hour by 2 cents.
Payments for leave time (except sick leave)— whether
or not the time actually was taken— made up 5.3 per­
cent o f all compensation in 1968 and averaged 21 cents
an hour worked. Almost all of these payments were for
vacation and holiday leave. Although leave pay increased
only 0.1 percentage point as a percent of compensation
between 1966 and 1968, the cost rose 3 cents a working
hour or 18 percent not only because of the rise in
straight-time pay upon which a worker’s leave pay
usually is based, but also because of improvements in
paid leave policies.
Expenditures for health and insurance programs, the
other major element of compensation, amounted to 3.7
percent of total compensation or 0.2 percentage point
more than in 1966. Of the 15 cents a paid hour spent on
these programs, 9 cents went for life, accident, and
health insurance, and the remainder was divided evenly
between workmen’s compensation and sick leave. 2

pay accounted for $3.13 a working hour or 80.4 percent
of compensation and premium pay for overtime, week­
end, and holiday work or a differential paid for working
on an evening or night shift accounted for 2.4 percent.
Pay for working time represented 83.7 percent of com­
pensation for nonoffice employees compared with 81.5
percent for office employees.
Officeworkers received only 0.9 percent of their com­
pensation in premiums while nonofficeworkers received
3.4 percent. Only 2 percent of all officeworkers were
in establishments having premium payments amounting
to 5 percent or more of total compensation but 19 per­
cent of all nonofficeworkers were in such establishments.
(See table 6a.) Both employee groups received about the
same proportion of compensation as straight-time pay
(80.2 percent for nonoffice and 80.6 percent for office).
In manufacturing industries, pay for working time
represented 81.1 percent of compensation; in nonman­
ufacturing, it accounted for 83.9 percent. The difference
between the two industry groups was even greater when
straight-time pay alone was considered. This disparity
reflects the relatively greater importance of premium
pay in the compensation structure of manufacturing
nonofficeworkers. Premiums for this group of workers,
of whom all but 5 percent were in establishments with
some premium pay expenditure, accounted for 4.5 per­
cent of total compensation, compared with 2.6 per­
cent for their counterparts in nonmanufacturing. This
difference may be due to less overtime in nonmanufac­
turing and the exemption of some nonmanufacturing
segments such as hotels, restaurants, nonprofit organiza­
tions, and part of retail trade from overtime provisions
of the Fair Labor Standards Act. However, even among
establishments that actually had premium pay ex­
penditures, premiums for nonofficeworkers were 4.6 per­
cent of compensation in manufacturing and 3.5 per­
cent in nonmanufacturing. Following the pattern noted
previously, premiums accounted for roughly 1 percent
of officeworker compensation in both industry groups.
The proportion of straight-time pay to total compen­
sation tended to decrease as average hourly compensa­
tion increased to a range of $5 to $6, at which point
the proportion for straight-time pay generally began
either to increase or to stabilize. (See table 5a.) As a
corollary, expenditures on other elements of compen­
sation rose substantially as total compensation increased.
In establishments which had average compensation levels
under $2.50 an hour, straight-time pay ranged from

Total compensation was 48 percent higher for office
($5.01 a working hour) than for nonoffice employees
($3.38).3 Compensation of office employees increased
50 cents an hour or 11.1 percent between 1966 and
1968; nonoffice employee compensation rose 40 cents
or 13.4 percent. About four-fifths of the increase for
both groups was due to advances in pay for working time.
In 1968, office employees received $4.08 an hour for
working time or 81.5 percent of their total compen­
sation. Nonofficeworkers received $2.82 an hour or 83.7
percent of their total compensation. Almost all the dif­
ference in the relative importance of pay for working
time lies in the area of premium pay, which was pro­
portionately more important for nonoffice than for
officeworkers.
The composition of compensation beyond pay for
working time differed in several respects for the two
employee groups. Leave pay was a much larger propor­
tion of compensation for officeworkers (6.1 percent)
than for nonofficeworkers (4.8 percent) as were bonus
payments, 1.8 percent compared with 0.5 percent. On
the other hand, expenditures for health and insurance
programs made up 4.1 percent of compensation for
nonofficeworkers compared with 3.3 percent for officeworkers.
Compensation of officeworkers in manufacturing
amounted to $5.82 an hour, 25 percent more than for
those in nonmanufacturing industries, $4.67. Manufac­
turing officeworkers’ compensation was 54 cents an hour
higher than it had been in 1966; for nonmanufacturing
officeworkers the increase was 52 cents. The proportion
of total compensation spent on working time for officeworkers was 79.6 percent in manufacturing compared
with 82.5 percent in nonmanufacturing. Expenditures
for retirement, health and insurance programs, leave pay,
bonuses, and savings and thrift programs for officeworkers in manufacturing were all greater, both ab­
solutely and as a percent of total compensation, than
for those in nonmanufacturing.
In 1968, the $3.15 hourly compensation of non­
officeworkers in nonmanufacturing industries, lagged 17
percent behind the $3.69 of their counterparts in man­
ufacturing. Pay for working time represented over 85
percent of the compensation of nonofficeworkers in
nonmanufacturing compared with 82 percent for those
in manufacturing. In manufacturing, 5.9 percent of com­
pensation went for leave pay, compared with 3.9 percent
in nonmanufacturing. The remaining difference was due
to relatively greater expenditures for retirement programs
and health and insurance programs in manufacturing.

Pay for working time

Pay for time worked constituted nearly 83 percent
of employee compensation. (See table 1.) Straight-time




2

87 to 92 percent of total compensation, depending on
industry and employee group. In these establishments,
expenditures for elements other than straight-time pay
amounted to less than 25 cents an hour. Establishments
which had compensation levels over $5 an hour allotted
from 70 to 83 percent of the total to straight-time pay,
and expenditures on supplementary compensation ranged
from 87 cents to $1.88.
Pay for leave time

At one time only higher-salaried employees received
pay for vacations or holidays, but the practice now is
widespread in manufacturing as well as in most nonman­
ufacturing industries. Paid leave for officeworkers has
been prevalent for several decades. During the World
War II period of wage controls, the granting of leave to
nonofficeworkers was accelerated greatly. General wage
rises were limited but increases in other types of com­
pensation, such as paid vacations and holidays, were
sanctioned.
Establishments employing 93 percent of all workers
provided pay for leave time (except sick leave) which
constituted 5.3 percent of total compensation. (See
table 7a.) Vacations and holidays accounted for 95 per­
cent of paid leave expenditures.
Establishments that provided paid vacations employed
98 percent of manufacturing workers. These establish­
ments allocated 3.8 percent of compensation for vaca­
tions, compared with 3.0 percent in nonmanufacturing
establishments that provided compensation for vacations.
The latter accounted for 88 percent of nonmanufac­
turing employment. Thirty-six percent of the manufac­
turing workers, twice the proportion in nonmanufactur­
ing, were in establishments in which outlays for vaca­
tions exceeded 4 percent of total compensation. Paid
holidays were about as common as paid vacations in
manufacturing, but in nonmanufacturing only 78 per­
cent of the workers were in establishments that provided
any holiday pay. The proportion of compensation
that holiday pay represented in establishments that had
holiday expenditures was 2.3 percent in manufacturing,
compared with 2.0 percent in nonmanufacturing.
Over 90 percent of the officeworkers in manufactur­
ing and nonmanufacturing and an equally large pro­
portion of the nonofficeworkers in manufacturing were
employed in establishments that had vacation or
holiday expenditures for them. By contrast, among non­
officeworkers in nonmanufacturing, only 78 percent
were in establishments that had vacation expenditures,
and only 64 percent were in establishments with holiday
expenditures.
Establishments in nonmanufacturing that provided
vacation pay for nonofficeworkers devoted 2.7 percent
of their compensation to it; those that provided holiday




pay allocated 1.9 percent of compensation. Among
other worker-industry groups, establishment expendi­
tures for vacations ranged from 3.4 to 4.1 percent of
compensation, and expenditures for holidays ranged
from 2.2 percent to 2.5 percent of compensation.
Retirement

Expenditures for retirement programs, consisting of
social security (including railroad retirement) and private
pension and other retirement plans, amounted to 6 per­
cent of total compensation. (See table 8.)
Social security is a legally required program which
forms a potential retirement base for almost all private
sector workers in the United States. Fifty-four percent
of employer payments for retirement went for this pro­
gram, which is financed by a payroll tax divided equally
between the employer and employee. In 1968, the tax
rate for each was 4.4 percent of the first $7,800 of wages
paid to an employee during the year.4 Thus, as wages
rise above the tax base, social security expenditures de­
cline as a percent of wages and, of course, compensation.
Social Security expenditures amounted to 3.3 percent
of total compensation in 1968. They were 3.6 percent of
total compensation for nonofficeworkers compared with
3.0 percent for officeworkers, and 3.4 percent for non­
manufacturing compared with 3.3 percent for manufac­
turing workers. These percentages reflect the greater pro­
portions of office and manufacturing workers than of
nonoffice and nonmanufacturing workers exceeding the
upper limit of the tax base.
Private pension and similar retirement plans, such as
profit-sharing deferred until retirement and pay-as-yougo plans are the second component of retirement pro­
grams. The first known pension plan in the United States
was instituted by the American Express Co. in 1875.
These plans grew slowly, however, and 50 years later
only about 400 were in operation, many of which
covered only salaried employees. During World War II,
nonwage compensation resulting from the freeze on
wages and salaries stimulated the growth of pension
plans. Organized labor’s interest in pension plans grew
after the war. The Supreme Court’s finding, in the Inland
Steel case of 1949, that pensions were subject to col­
lective bargaining, helped unions to push for establish­
ment and growth of pension plans for their members.
Today about two-thirds of the office and one-half the
nonoffice employees work in establishments which have
pension plans.5
4
The tax rate increased to 4 .8 percent in 1969 and 5.2 per­
cent in 19 71. On January 1, 1 9 7 2 , the base w ill rise to $ 9 ,0 0 0 ,
e rate w ill remain at 5.2 percent.
These p rop ortion s are substantially higher than actual em ­
p loyee participation rates. Many w orkers, b y reason o f their em ­
ploym en t fo r t o o short a p eriod , part-tim e e m p loy m en t, or age,
are n ot eligible to participate in their e m p lo y e r ’s retirem ent
program .

Expenditures for private pension plans and retirement
constituted 2.7 percent of total compensation for all
workers, and a little less than 50 percent the expenditure
for all retirement plans. Among establishments with ex­
penditures for private plans, they came to 3.8 percent of
compensation and represented seven-tenths of the total
spent on retirement programs.
Establishments that had expenditures for officeworker pensions employed 66 percent of the workers.
The proportion in manufacturing was 83 percent, com­
pared with 61 percent in nonmanufacturing. The dif­
ference between the two industry groups in the amount
spent on office worker pensions was relatively small.
Expenditures were 4.5 percent of compensation or 27
cents an hour in manufacturing and 4.8 percent of com­
pensation or 23 cents an hour in nonmanufacturing. In
both industry groups expenditures for officeworkei
pensions were about two-thirds higher than those for
social security.
The pension picture for nonofficeworkers was less
favorable. Just 50 percent of the nonofficeworkers were
in establishments that made an expenditure for pensions;
in manufacturing the proportion was 69 percent, in nonmanufacturing only 40 percent. Establishments that had
pension expenditures for nonoffice employees devoted
3.5 percent of compensation for the program, or notice­
ably less than the 4.7 percent spent for officeworkers
and about the same proportion for social security. As
has been noted for officeworkers, nonofficeworkers in
nonmanufacturing establishments which paid for their
pensions had 3.7 percent of compensation allocated to
these programs compared with 3 3 percent for those in
manufacturing.
Part of the difference in the proportions between
office and nonofficeworkers in establishments with ex­
penditures for private pension plans for them, reflects
the greater proportions of officeworkers who paid part
of the cost of their pension coverage. (See table 12.)
Twenty-three percent of the office employees compared
with only 9 percent of the nonoffice employees partic­
ipated in such contributory pension plans. However, 44
percent of the office employees and 41 percent of the
nonoffice employees were in establishments which paid
the full cost of basic pension coverage. As shown in
table A below, such establishments spent more an hour
and, as shown in appendix table 12, devoted a greater
proportion of compensation expenditures for private
retirement plans than establishments which require em­
ployees to pay part of the cost.
As establishment compensation levels for an employee
group increased the incidence of private retirement plans
also increased. For nonofficeworkers, the increased inci­
dence was limited to noncontributory programs, for




officeworkers, both contributory and noncontributory
programs showed an increase. For both employee groups,
establishments with high levels of compensation generally
devoted a greater part of compensation to private retire­
ment plans than establishments with low levels.

Health benefits

Employer expenditures for health benefits amounted
to 3.7 percent o f total em ployee com pensation. (See
table 9a.)A s defined by this survey, health benefits have
three components: L ife, accident, and health insurance,
which accounted for 2.2 percent o f total compensation;
workmen’s com pensation which accounted for 0 .9 per­
cent, and sick leave, 0 .6 percent.
L ife, accident and health insurances provide financial
assistance in case o f death, disability, or illness, and in­
clude life, accidental death and dismemberment, m edical,
surgical, hospitalization, and sickness and accident insur­
ance. Coverage o f workers by such plans first began to
grow substantially during World War II, frequently as a
substitute for wage increases, which were lim ited under
wage stabilization regulations. In 1 9 6 8 ,4 out o f 5 work­
ers in the private nonfarm econom y were in establish­
m ents that had expenditures forat least one type o f this
insurance.6 Establishments w ith such insurance paid
2.5 percent o f com pensation for it. A ll but 6 percent o f
the manufacturing and 29 percent o f the nonmanu­
facturing workers were em ployed in establishments
which had such insurance. The absence o f these insur­
ances was centered in the service industries. Manufactur­
ing establishments spent more an hour and as a pro­
portion o f total com pensation for such insurance, than
did nonmanufacturing establishments.
6
Many companies make a single insurance premium pay­
ment for life, accident, and health insurance and were unable to
report the cost o f each program separately. Consequently, it was
not possible to publish separate expenditure data for each type
o f insurance.

4

Seventy-four percent of the nonofflceworkers and
85 percent of the officeworkers were in establishments
which had expenditures for life, accident, and health in­
surance. The amount spent for such insurance was
11 cents a paid work hour or 2.1 per cent of com­
pensation for officeworkers compared with 10 cents a
paid work hour or 2.8 percent of compensation for
nonofflceworkers.
Although life, accident, and health insurance was more
widespread for officeworkers, about 3 out of 5 who were
insured had to pay part of the cost. (See table 13.)
Only 2 out of 5 insured nonofflceworkers were in such
contributory programs. As table B shows, employers
spent considerably more for noncontributory insurance
than for contributory.

Government led the way in workmen’s compensation
laws when the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act
was passed in 1908. The States soon followed and by
1920 all but six had enacted such laws. Today all States
have workmen’s compensation laws.
The operation of workmen’s compensation varies
from State-to-State but most establishments purchase an
insurance policy to provide coverage. Premiums are based
on the accident history and employment of the individ­
ual establishment. Nonmanufacturing firms spent 1 cent
an hour more and a somewhat greater proportion of
total compensation than manufacturing firms. This higher
rate reflects the extensive accident histories in certain
nonmanufacturing industries, such as construction, min­
ing, trucking, and local transit. Manufacturing as a whole
had fewer industries than nonmanufacturing with above
average accident rates, notably lumber and foundries.
Eighty-nine percent of all workers were in establish­
ments which had expenditures for workmen’s compensa­
tion. The proportion was 98 percent in manufacturing
and 85 percent in nonmanufacturing. (See table 9a.) Not
all firms had some form of workmen’s compensation ex­
penditure because some States have voluntary coverage
and most allow certain exemptions. Many States exempt
establishments below a certain employment level, usually
quite low, and nonporfit organizations, such as churches
and social work agencies, which employed about threefourths of a million people in 1968. In addition, some
companies are self-insured and may not have made any
benefit payments in 1968.
Officeworkers had a smaller proportion of their com­
pensation devoted to workmen’s compensation insurance
than did nonofflceworkers and reflected, in part, the con­
centration of officeworkers in occupations and industries
with relatively low accident rates.
Sick leave or pay for work days lost due to illness was
the least common of the three components of health ben­
efits. The practice is fairly old and established for officeworkers but not nearly so common for nonofflceworkers.
In 1968,81 percent of officeworkers but only 37 percent
of nonofflceworkers were in firms that had expenditures
for sick leave. The proportions of employees covered by
sick leave depended on the type of employee (office or
nonoffice) much more than on the industry in which
they were employed.

Employees with relatively high levels of compensation
not only were more likely to have private insurance cover­
age, but generally had a higher proportion of their com­
pensation devoted to the purchase of insurance. (See
table 13.) This last characteristic was especially obvious
for nonofflceworkers. Average employer expenditures
for insurance in establishments providing the lowest
total compensation were about 3Vi cents an hour or 1.7
percent of compensation compared with 20 cents an
hour or 3.7 percent by those in the highest group.
The incidence of private insurance paid for entirely by
the employer also increased with establishment com­
pensation level. This was much more pronounced for
nonofflceworkers than officeworkers. Over four-fifths
of the nonofflceworkers in establishments with highest
compensation levels were covered by noncontributory
plans, while fewer than half the officeworkers in these
high compensation levels had noncontributory coverage.
Workmen’s compensation is a legally required, or, in
States where the program is voluntary, it is a legally
desirable insurance program which provides workers
with benefits for job-related injuries. The Federal



Unemployment benefits

In 1968, almost all employees in the private nonfarm
sector of the economy were covered by unemployment
benefits. Total payments for these programs constituted
slightly under 1 percent of total compensation. (See
table 10a.) Ninety percent of these expenditures provided
for legally required unemployment insurance to give the
5

worker partial financial protection during unemployment.
The programs originated in Wisconsin in 1932. However,
most workers were not covered until passage of the Social
Security Act of 1935 which provided a tax incentive for
States to participate in a joint Federal-State unemploy­
ment insurance system. By mid-1937, all States had en­
acted programs providing unemployment insurance.
In 1968, unemployment insurance payments of 0.9
percent of compensation or 3 cents a working hour were
almost identical in both manufacturing and nonmanu­
facturing industries. However, these expenditures constituded 1 percent of the compensation for nonofficeworkers and 0.6 percent for officeworkers.
Severance payments, made directly to workers upon
permanent termination of employment, were made
mostly to officeworkers, 36 percent of whom were in
establishments which had expenditures for the practice,
compared with 14 percent of the nonofflceworkers. These
payments amounted to no more than 0.3 percent of com­
pensation in any of the employee-industry groups.
Severance pay funds provide lump-sum payments to
workers whose employment is ended permanently, and
supplemental unemployment benefit funds provide pay­
ments in addition to those made under the Unemploy­
ment Insurance laws. These types of funds were financed
by plants which employed 14 percent of the nonoffice
factory workers, the only group to which such funds
applied to a noticeable degree. Payments into such funds,
which came to 0.8 percent of nonofficeworker com­
pensation in manufacturing establishments with expendi­
tures, occurred mostly in the automobile, aircraft, steel,
and apparel industries.

or yearend bonuses, attendance awards, length-service-of
awards, lump-sum payments to workers under profitsharing plans, and similar payments. Establishments
which employed 39 percent of all workers had such pay­
ments, which averaged 2.4 percent of total compen­
sation. (See table 11a.)
Nonproduction bonuses were paid by establishments
which employed 49 percent of the manufacturing work­
ers. Payments came to 1.9 percent of compensation.
Although not as common in nonmanufacturing and found
in establishments with 33 percent of the nonmanufactur­
ing work force, such payments, where they were made,
amounted to 2.9 percent of compensation. Nonproduc­
tion bonuses were paid more commonly to officework­
ers, 40 percent of whom were in establishments with
bonus payments for such workers, than to nonofficeworkers, 29 percent of whom were in establishments with
payments. Furthermore, establishments that paid bonuses
to officeworkers had expenditures of 4.2 percent of their
compensation compared with 1.6 percent for nonofficeworkers.
Savings and thrift plans, a form of deferred compen­
sation, are financed by employer payments which usually
match employee payments or come from profit sharing
or similar schemes. An employee may draw upon the
money in his account after a stipulated period of time.
Savings and thrift plans were found in establishments
employing fewer than one-tenth of the workers. Em­
ployer payments for these plans came to 1.1 percent of
compensation. Nineteen percent of the manufacturing
workers with payments of 1 percent of compensation
compared with only 4 percent of those in nonmanufac­
turing with payments of 1.6 percent were in establish­
ments with savings plans. Savings plans were available to
12 percent of officeworkers compared with 4 percent of
nonoffice workers. Where they were available, they
accounted for 2 percent of compensation for officework­
ers, compared with 1 percent for nonofficeworkers.

Nonproduction bonuses, as defined by this study, are
cash payments to workers, not contingent upon the
quantity or quality of their work. They include Christmas

officeworkers in intermediate size nonmanufacturing
establishments who had a higher level of compensation
than their counterparts in manufacturing.

Compensation by establishment size

The level of employee compensation increased as
establishments became larger. (See table 2.) Establish­
ments employing under 100 workers spent $3.42 a work­
ing hour on employee compensation; $3.80 was expended
by those having 100 to 499 workers; and $4.54 by those
with 500 workers or more. These differences reflect the
varied industrial composition of each size group, but also
are related to characteristics closely related to size itself,
such as profitability, economines of size, and location.
Higher pay for working time accounted for 61 per­
cent of the difference in compensation between the small­
est and largest size group; most of the remaining dif­
ference was spread among expenditures for paid leave

Compensation in union and nonunion
establishments

About 2 out of 5 of the 16.4 million nonofficeworkers
covered by the survey were in establishments in which
the majority of such workers were covered by collective
bargaining agreements.1 (See table 21.) In manufacturing,
the proportion was approximately 3 out of 5 (9 million
workers), roughly twice that in nonmanufacturing. Fewer
than one-tenth of the officeworkers were in establish­
ments in which the majority were covered by collective
bargaining agreements. Data for these employees do not
meet publication criteria and, therefore, this discussion
is limited to nonofficeworkers.
Nonoffice employees in establishments where the
majority were covered by collectivebargaining agreements
averaged $4.21 a working hour, $1.52 more than those
in establishments where none or a minority was covered.
(See table 3.) Pay for an hour of work in union establish­
ments was $1.09 higher or 47 percent more than in non­
union establishments.2 This difference accounted for 72
percent of the gap in total compensation between the
two groups. The remainder was due to expenditures for
vacations and holidays, private pension plans, and life,
accident, and health insurance which are proportionately
higher in union than in nonunion establishments.
In manufacturing, where unionization is widespread
among the component industries, compensation of union
nonofficeworkers ($4.08 a working hour) was 35 percent
higher than for their nonunion counterparts ($3.03).

(16 percent), private retirement programs (12 percent),
and life, accident, and health insurance and sick leave
(10 percent). The structure of compensation also changed
as the establishment size increased. Pay for working time
declined as a percent of total compensation while expend­
itures for leave time (primarily vacations), health benefits,
and private pension plans rose in relative importance.
On nonproduction bonuses declined as a percent of total
compensation as establishment size increased.
Total compensation varied more widely for nonofficeworkers, by size groups, than for officeworkers. Hourly
compensation for nonofficeworkers was $2.92 in the
smallest group, $3.30 in the intermediate, and $4.07 in
the largest group. This range of $ 1.15 was 51 cents greater
than that for officeworkers for whom compensation
levels were $4.71, $4.90, and $5.35 in the same size
groups. This greater range results, in part, from the
wider difference in the skill and occupational mix
of nonofficeworkers among the size groups than is
found for officeworkers. The structure of compensation
for each employee group generally followed the pattern
noted on an all establishment basis.
In both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing, em­
ployee compensation increased as establishments grew
in size. This pattern did not always hold for the twoworker groups, however. In manufacturing, compensation
for officeworkers was higher in the smallest size group
than it was in the intermediate. Another deviation from
the general pattern of relationships occurred for non­

Fifty four percent of union nonoffice employees,
compared with 17 percent of the nonunion, worked in
establishments that spent at least $4 an hour for their
compensation. Pay for working time was 27 percent
higher in union than nonunion establishments. Expendi­
tures for retirement programs, leave time, and health
benefit programs were also higher, and accounted for
a greater part of union than nonunionworker com­
pensation.
In nonmanufacturing, the relative spread between
union and nonunion nonofficeworker compensation was
double that in manufacturing and reflected in part, the
concentration of unionization in higher wage industries
such as construction, transportation, and public utilities.
The magnitude of this difference also reflects the fact that
slightly over three-fifths of all unionized workers were in
establishments with average compensation of at least $4
an hour for nonofficeworkers while almost three-fifths of
all nonunion workers were in establishments in which
the level was under $2.50 an hour. As was noted for
manufacturing, pay for working time was higher, but
made up a smaller part of total compensation in union
than in nonunion establishments. This smaller proportion
reflected larger employer expenditures for leave time and
for both retirement and health benefit programs in union
than in nonunion establishments.
Much greater proportions of nonofficeworkers in
union than in nonunion establishments were employed
where expenditures were made for private pensions and
life, accident, and health insurance. (See table 4.)
Although the difference between the two employee
groups was not as great in the areas of paid leave, it was
still noticeable. Union establishments with expenditures
for these times generally devoted a greater part of com­
pensation and spent more for them than did nonunion
establishments. (See table 3.)
As has been indicated, the differences in compensa­
tion level and structure existing between the union and
nonunion sectors are partly attributable to differences in
industrial composition. Other influencing factors are
also in operation— the relation between unionization
and company or establishment size and geographic loca­
tion, for instance. The degree to which compensation is




influenced by any of these factors operating singly or in
combination with others has not been measured by this
survey.3
Employment by compensation levels

Employees were distributed rather evenly among es­
tablishments with widely divergent levels of compensa­
tion. (See table 5.) About 90 percent of the employees
were in establishments with compensation levels of
between $1.50 and $6.50 an hour of working time, and
the middle half worked where compenstaion ranged
from $2.50 to $4.75 a working hour. Fifty percent of
the Nation’s employees surveyed worked in establish­
ments with compensation expenditures of less than $3.50
an hour.
Establishment compensation levels were higher for
office than for nonoffice employees and covered a
broader range. For example, 77 percent of the officeworkers, compared with only 39 percent of the nonoffice­
workers, were in establishments in which their hourly
compensation averaged $3.50 or more. Compensation
levels for the middle half of the officeworkers covered a
range of $2.75 (from $3.50 to $6.25), over one-third
greater than the corresponding range for the comparable
group of nonofficeworkers (from $2.25 to $4.25).
Nearly three-fifths of the manufacturing employees
were in establishment with compensation levels that were
above the all-industry average ($3.89 a working hour).
Only about a fifth were employed where average hourly
compensation was below $3, while almost three-tenths
worked in establishments with compensation of at least
$5. A sharply different situation prevailed in nonmanu­
facturing where roughly three-fifths of the employees
were in establishments with compensation levels below
the overall average. Further, over one-fourth of the non­
manufacturing employees worked where compensation
was less than $2.50 an hour of work.

worker coverage and improved benefits, but also from
increased costs for life, accident, and health insurances.
Expenditures for these plans rose from 5 to 11 cents
an hour and increased as a proportion of compensation
from 2.0 to 3.1 percent. This increase far outdistanced
the 2 cents a working hour rise in workmen’s compen­
sation, and in sick leave, which remained constant at
1 cent an hour during the 9-year period.

An examination o f the changes in the compensation
of production (nonoffice) workers in manufacturing
between 1959 and 1968, the only group for whom data
over any such period are available, indicate some of the
current trends in employee compensation.
Compensation per working hour increased at an
annual rate of 3.9 percent, or a total of 41 percent over
the 9-year span. The rate of increase was uneven, how­
ever; the average annual increase was only 3.4 percent
during the first 7 years compared with 5.7 percent be­
tween 1966 and 1968. Pay for working time rose 35 per­
cent, but gains in other areas of compensation were sub­
stantially greater; pay for leave advanced 57 percent and
employer expenditures for retirement, health, and insur­
ance programs more than doubled. Thus, although pay
for working time accounted for nearly three-fourths of
the increase in the level of compensation, it actually
declined in importance from 85.4 to 81.8 percent of
compensation.
Expenditures for retirement programs more than
doubled between 1959 and 1968 and rose from 11 to
23 cents per working hour and from 4.2 to 6.2 percent
of total compensation. This increase in expenditures
made retirement programs replace paid leave as the
second most expensive element of compensation. Twothirds of the increase was in social security, for which
both the tax base and rate moved steadily upward
during the period. Going from 5 cents in 1959 to 13
cents in 1968, expenditures for social security nearly
tripled. Expenditures for private pension plans increased
at a much slower rate and rose from 6 to 10 cents a
working hour between 1959 and 1968. Expenditures
remained at 6 cents a working hour from 1959 to 1962,
before moving ahead to 8 cents an hour in 1966 and
10 cents in 1968. Between 1959 and 1968, the propor­
tion of manufacturing production workers employed in
establishments which had expenditures for private retire­
ment plans went from 60 percent, to 69 percent.
Paid leave (except sick leave), despite an increase
from 5.2 to 5.9 percent of compensation and from 14
to 22 cents a working hour, dropped from second to
third in importance among the elements of compensation.
Between 1959 and 1968, hourly expenditures for
health benefits increased 113 percent, the largest relative
increase of any type of compensation. Increases in
health benefit spending resulted not only from expended




Expenditures for unemployment benefit programs
increased slightly but declined by 0.4 percent as a pro­
portion of compensation. Between 1959 and 1962, the
cost rose sharply from 1.5 to 2.2 percent but, in con­
cert with falling unemployment rates, declined steadily
during the mid- and late-1960’s until it reached 1.1 per­
cent in 1968.
Nonproduction bonuses also declined as a proportion
of compensation from 0.5 to 0.4 percent, while pay­
ments for savings and thrift plans increased slightly
during the 9-year period.
The composition of payroll hours for manufacturing
production workers had an interesting pattern of change
over the 1959-68 period for which such data are avail­
able. During the first 5 years, it remained virtually the
same, changed slightly during the next 4 years, and then
showed the greatest degree of change during the last 2
years. During the 10-year time span, vacation hours in­
creased from 3.4 to 3.8 percent of all paid hours, holiday
hours from 2.2 to 2.5 percent, and sick, civic, and per­
sonal leave hours from 0.3 to 0.4 percent of all paid
hours.
Also interesting were trends in the amount of paid
leisure available to manufacturing production workers.
The proportion who received 4 weeks or more of vaca­
tion increased substantially, from 2 percent to 14 per­
cent. This was counterbalanced by a 12 percentage point
decline in the proportion receiving 2 but fewer than 3
weeks of vacation. Little change occurred either in the
proportions who received vacations of other durations
or no paid vacation at all. Paid holidays also increased
in number for many workers. In 1959, only 17 percent
of manufacturing production workers received 8 paid
holidays or more; in 1968, the proportion was 47 per­
cent, and 12 percent had at least 10 paid holidays.
During both years, however, about 1 in 10 workers re­
ceived no paid holidays.

C h ap ter IV. W o rk in g Hours and Paid Leave H ours
Working hours are those hours for which an employee
receives pay and which he spends at the employer’s place
of business (or elsewhere on behalf of the employer as
in the case of outside salesmen). In this survey, working
hours include time spent on rest periods, coffee breaks,
standby, and similar paid time at the workplace but not
actually at work. Paid leave hours are those hours for
which the employee is paid while not at the workplace,
such as for vacations, holidays, etc.
Working hours constituted 93.8 percent of all hours
for which employees were paid in 1968; regular hours of
work accounted for 89.0 percent and overtime for 4.8
percent of all paid hours. (See table 14.) Leave hours
made up the remaining 6.2 percent of time paid for;
vacations were 3.2 percent, holidays 2.1 percent, and
sick, civic, and personal leave 0.8 percent.
Overtime hours were a greater proportion of all paid
hours in manufacturing than in nonmanufacturing, in
large establishments than in small ones, and for nonofficeworkers than for officeworkers. Similarly, manu­
facturing industries and large establishments had the
higher proportions of paid leave hours. However, officeworkers had a greater part of their paid hours in leave
time than did nonofficeworkers. The effect of industry,
establishment size, and type of worker, on the structure
of paid hours is illustrated as follows: Officeworkers in
manufacturing establishments having at least 500 em­
ployees had 9.9 percent of their paid time as paid leave;
nonofficeworkers in nonmanufacturing establishments
with fewer than 100 employees paid leave were only 3.1
percent of all paid hours.
Nonofficeworker’s overtime hours were 6.1 percent
of all paid hours compared with 5.3 percent for leave
hours.
Ninety-three percent of the Nation’s workers were in
establishments that had some paid leave. (See table 16.)
Almost all officeworkers and 86 percent o f the non­
officeworkers were in establishments which provided
such workers some paid leave. However, 22 percent of
the nonofficeworkers in nonmanufacturing establish­
ments with fewer than 100 employees had no paid leave.
Although 92 percent of all workers were in establish­
ments which gave paid vacations, 34 percent received no
vacation pay from their employers in 1968. (See tables
17 and 19.) Four percent of the workers were in estab­
lishments which financed vacation and holiday funds




and so may have received vacation pay from such funds.
Probably many workers received no vacation pay be­
cause they did not meet the length of service require­
ments for paid vacations that exist in most companies.
In January 1968, approximately one-fifth of all em­
ployed persons in the United States held their then
current jobs for 6 months or less. 1 Others worked
in several industries which had vacations less prevalent.
Still others may have been employed part time and
therefore were not eligible for vacation pay.
The incidence of paid vacations was greater and of
longer duration in manufacturing than in nonmanufac­
turing, for office than for nonofficeworkers, and in
large than in small establishments. At the extremes, 93
percent of the officeworkers in manufacturing plants
which employed 500 or more received vacations, com­
pered with only 40 percent of the nonofficeworkers in
nonmanufacturing establishments which had fewer than
100 employees. Vacations of 2 but less than 3 weeks
were most common and applied to nearly three-tenths
of the workers. About one-sixth received 1 but less than
2 weeks and a little over one-tenth, 3 to 4 weeks. Onefourth of the office employees in large manufacturing
establishments received at least 4 weeks o f vacations,
although overall fewer than one-tenth of all workers had
as lengthy a vacation.
Three-fourths of the Nation’s workers were in estab­
lishments in whcih the majority received paid holidays.
(See table 20.) As was noted for vacations, the incidence
and number of paid holidays was greater among office
than nonoffice employees, and in manufacturing than
in nonmanufacturing, and also increased with establish­
ment size. Three-fifths of the workers in establishments
which gave paid holidays to the majority were divided
evenly among establishments which gave 6, 7, or 8 paid
holidays. A different picture emerges when the data are
examined by employee-industry-size groups. Almost all
office employees in manufacturing plants with 500
workers or more received paid holidays; three-tenths
received 9 holidays, and another three-tenths 10 or more.
Only 46 percent of the nonofficeworkers in small non­
manufacturing establishments received paid holidays,
and of these, about two-thirds received no more than 6
holidays.

A ppendix B. Com pensation in P rivate Industry
and in the Federal G o vern m en t

The Federal Government is the largest single em­
ployer in the nonprivate sector. As such, it influences
and is influenced by compensation levels and practices
in the private sector, especially in that segment which
has substantial numbers of the types of workers em­
ployed by the Federal Government. Therefore, compar­
ison of compensation in the Federal Government and
that in the private sector is useful.
The data for the private nonfarm industries selected
sector relate to establishments having the same indus­
try and employment size characteristics as those in the
BLS national survey of professional, administrative, tech­
nical, and clerical pay (PATC Survey),1 which is con­
ducted to provide data for pay comparisons between pri­
vate industry and the Federal Government. The industryestablishment size scope of the PATC Survey is designed
to include establishments having a sufficient number
of employees in the surveyed occupations to materially
influence salary estimates. The data from the 1968 com­
pensation survey were used by Civil Service Commission
and the office of Management and Budget for compar­
ing relative expenditures for supplementary compen­
sation in private industry with those in the Federal
Government. The selected sector industries includes
establishments having the indicated minimum employ­
ment size in the following industries: Manufacturing

(250); retail trade (250); transportation, communication,
electric, gas, and sanitary services (100); wholesale trade
(100); commerical research and development laboratories
(100); engineering and architectural services (100); and
finance, insurance, and real estate (50). Geographic
coverage includes the United States, except Alaska and
Hawaii.
The following table presents expenditures for sup­
plementary compensation practices relative to basic
wages and salaries in the total private nonfarm sector, the
selected sector industries, and the Federal Government.
The comparison base, “basic wages and salaries.” is con­
sistent with an annual salary concept that excludes all
irregular payments, such as payments for overtime hours
and premium pay for shift work. They are excluded from
the supplementary compensation practices, since they
mainly reflect differences in industry characteristics and
in the volume of overtime and shift work rather than
differences in compensation practices.
Data for the Federal Government were provided
by the office of Management and Budget and the Civil
Service Commission.

A ppendix C. S c o p e and M ethod o f S u rvey
Scope o f survey

Method o f collection

The survey covered the private nonfarm sector in the
50 States and District of Columbia. Data relate to
calendar 1968 and are limited to expenditures made or
incurred by employers for the compensation of em­
ployees, and the hours for which employees received
pay from their employers (paid hours).

Data were collected primarily by mail questionnaire.
However, initial personal visits were made to some
companies in the sample. In addition, personal visits
were made to a sample of companies which had not
responded to three mail requests.
Reporting problems

Sampling procedure

Separate data by establishment, compensation prac­
tice, and employee class were collected in most instances.
However, not all companies maintain sufficient records
to provide all the data requested. Some respondents
submitted company or division-wide reports containing
more than one sample establishment or establishments
not in the original sample. Such reports were accepted.
Two types of approximations were used. First, if
the records in a particular establishment were kept only
at the all-employee level, the prorated share for each em­
ployee group was estimated on the basis of employment,
man-hours, or payroll, whichever was most appropriate.
Second, through the use of collateral data, estimates
were made in certain cases where records were not kept.

The survey was conducted on the basis of a probabil­
ity sample o f establishments (not companies) selected
from the private nonfarm sector of the economy, strat­
ified by location and industry, and with probability of
selection proportionate to establishment employment
size. Eight industries (accounting for about 5 percent of
total private nonfarm employment) for which data were
collected in 1967 were not sampled, but these earlier
data were incorporated into the current study and up­
dated. The sample drawn for this study included as cer­
tainty selections all establishments that had 6,500 em­
ployees or more, and a sample of all other establish­
ments that employed four persons or more with a pro­
bability of selection for inclusion in the sample in the
proportion:

Method o f estimation

Data for each sample establishment were weighted
according to the probability of selection of that estab­
lishment. For example, a sample establishment that
employed 150 workers was considered to represent it­
self, as well as other establishments that, in the aggregate,
employed 6,500 workers. Accordingly, the establish­
ment was given a weight of 43.3 (43.3 X 150 = 6,495).

However, establishments that had 6,500 em ployees or
more were considered to represent only themselves and
were given a weight o f 1. No alternate sample units were
substituted for nonresponding sample members. A re­
sponding establishment that had characteristics as similar
as possible to the nonresponding sample member was
given an appropriate weight to represent the nonrespond­
ing establishment as w ell as itself.
All estimated totals derived from the w eighting p ro .
cedures were adjusted further to industry totals from the
Bureau's m onthly em ploym ent statistics program. The
adjusted data represent all establishments in the private
nonfarm sector o f the econom y, including those th a t had
fewer than four em ployees.

D efinition o f terms

The basic terms used in this study are defined in the
survey questionnaire reproduced in appendix D. Several
terms used in the study, however, are not defined in the
questionnaire and definitions o f these terms follow :
Establishment in this report is equivalent to a sample
unit drawn through the sampling procedure. Although it
may, it does not necessarily coincide with the legal entity
o f a firm o f which it constitutes one o f several selfcontained facilities. It does not necessarily coincide with
the reporting unit because many reports contained infor­
mation for tw o sample units or more, while company or
division-wide reports, in most cases, also contained infor­
mation for establishments outside the sample. (See
reporting problems.)
Compensation, for purposes o f this study, is the sum
o f the payments subject to Federal withholding taxes
made by employers directly to their em ployees before
deductions o f any type, and the payments for legally
required insurance programs and private welfare plans
made by employers to governmental or private legal
entities for the benefit o f em ployees.
Paid hours consist o f aggregate hours worked, paid
leave hours (away from the plant), rest periods, coffee
breaks, machine downtim e, and other nonleave hours
not worked but for which employers made direct pay­
ments to workers during the year.
Working time consists o f all paid hours except paid
leave hours.

M ethod o f tabulation

All tables for this study are presented in percentages
or dollars per hour.
Percentages o f com pensation for “all establishments”
represent expenditures for the practice divided by total
compensation for all establishments— both those with
and without expenditures— whereas the percentages o f
compensation for “establishments with expenditures for
the practice” relate the same expenditures to the total
compensation o f only those establishments that reported
an expenditure.
Dollar per hour expenditures represented the practice
expenditures divided by the total man-hours aggregate
o f all establishm ents, or the total man-hours aggregate o f
only those establishments that reported expenditures.
