Data on employment, average hourly and weekly earnings, and weekly hours of work of nonsupervisory employees were obtained and are presented in this bulletin. This information bridges the period since June 1965 when a similar survey was conducted. In addition to data for 1966 , the bulletin provides an analysis of changes in employee earnings and hours between the two survey periods, during which time a Federal minimum wage of $1. 25 an hour and a 40-hour standard workweek were applied to certain large retail enterprises which were subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act. The change in the earnings and hours structure recorded by similar sur veys conducted in 1956, 1 9 6 1 , and 1962 also is examined. Data are provided for the United States; the Northeast, South, North Central, and West regions; metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas; men and women; and retail enter prises and establishments by their annual volume of sales. Appendix A provides technical information on the s c o p e and method of the survey, as well as definitions of terms. A copy of the questionnaire used in the survey is shown in appendix B. Comprehensive statistical data for all retail trade and for each of the major retail groups which constitute retail trade, and for selected lines of retail business will be available in the individual bulletins listed on the inside back cover. The survey was part of a broad program of studies initiated by the U. S. Department of Labor*s Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions for continuing ap praisal of Federal legislation relating to minimum wages and maximum hours standards. In this connection, data from the survey were published in the Report Submitted to the Congress in Accordance With the Requirements of Section 4(d) of the Fair Labor Standards Act— January 1967. This study was conducted in the Bureau1 s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations by the Division of National Wage and Salary Income. The analysis was prepared by Melba L. Lee, under the general direction of Alvin Bauman. iii C ontents Page Summary ______________________________________________________________________________________ Characteristics________ Average hourly earnings ______________________________________________________________________ Regions_____________________________________________________________________________________ Metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas__________________________________________________ Men and women____________________________________________________________________________ Sales volume________________________________________________________________________________ The Fair Labor Standards A ct_____________________________________________________________ Selected line of business: Drug stores_______________________________________________ Weekly hours of w ork _________________________________________________________________________ Selected line of business: Drug stores_______________________________________________ Average weekly earnings _____________________________________________________________________ Hourly earnings and weekly hours____________________________________________________________ Changes in average hourly earnings, June 1965—June 1966 _________________________________ Changes in weekly hours of work, June 1965—June 1966_____________________________________ Changes in weekly earnings, June 1965—June 1966__________________________________________ Changes in weekly hours by hourly earnings, June 1965—June 1966_________________________ Changes in hourly earnings by weekly hours, June 1965—June 1966_________________________ Changes in earnings and hours, October 1956—June 1966 __________________________________ 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 7 7 8 9 13 14 14 15 15 Tables: Miscellaneous retail stores— 1.

Scope and Method of Survey Scope of Survey This bulletin relates to those retail establishments which were classified, accord ing to the 1957 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, as part of the m is cellaneous retail stores major industry group (SIC 59). Stores within this group were further identified as drug and proprietary stores (SIC 591). The major group covers retail stores not elsewhere classified and includes stores such as drug, liquor, antique and secondhand, book and stationery, sporting goods and bicycles, farm and garden supply, jewelry, fuel and ice dealers, florists, cigar, newspaper, cameras and photography supplies, gifts and sou venirs, and optical goods. Drug and proprietary stores are included on the basis of their usual trade desig nation rather than on the more strict interpretation of commodities handled. These estab lishments are primarily engaged in the retail sale of prescription drugs and patent medi cines and any combination of such merchandise as cosmetics, toiletries, tobacco and novelty merchandise; and they may or may not operate a soda fountain or lunch counter. Geographically, the 50 States and the District of Columbia are covered. The data reflect earnings and hours of work of nonsupervisory employees for a payroll period including June 13, 1966. Sample Design The sample was designed to yield national and regional estimates for the major industry group and for the line of business for which separate data are shown. A strat ified sample design was used with variable sampling ratios depending on the kind of busi ness and employment size. For example, the sample size for the line of business shown separately was proportionately larger than for those not published and the probability of selection increased with the employment size of the unit. The following tabulation shows the number of units included in the sample of the miscellaneous retail stores group and in the drug and proprietary stores for which sep arate data are published; Kind o f business M iscella n eou s reta il stores g r o u p ---------------------------Drug and proprietary s t o r e s -------------------------------- N um ber o f units 3, 777 2, 173 Establishment samples were obtained from three different sources: (l) State unem ployment insurance listings furnished employer reporting units with four or more employees. (2) The large chainstore enterprises provided current lists of retail stores and auxiliary units from which a sample of such units was selected. It was necessary to obtain these lists from the large chainstore enterprises because State unemployment insurance listings frequently provide data on a statewide or county basis for such companies rather than on an individual establishment basis. (3) The Bureau of the Census sample used in conjunction with its Monthly Survey of Retail Sales covered single-unit retail stores with fewer than four employ ees. The Census coverage of small units was necessary to supplement the Bureau's uni verse list for retail trade, since State unemployment insurance laws in many States do not cover employers with fewer than four employees. 55 56 Method of Collection The majority of the establishments included in the sample were solicited for informa tion by mail. The largest units were visited in person by field economists of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as were the smallest units by the Bureau of the Census enumerators acting as agents for the BLS. Personal visits were also made to a sample of the nonrespondents to the mail questionnaire. Estimating Procedure Data collected for each sampling unit were weighted in accordance with the prob ability of selecting that unit. For example, where 1 unit out of 10 was selected from an industry-size group, data for that unit were considered as representative of the 10 units in the group. Thus, each segment of the retail trade industry was given its appropriate weight in the total, regardless of the disproportionate coverage of large and small establishments. No assumption has been made that the wage structures of the units not responding to the mail questionnaire were similar to those of the units responding. To minimize the bias resulting from nonresponse, data obtained by personal visits from a sample of non respondents were weighted to represent all other nonrespondents in similar industry-size groups. To compensate for schedules with unusable data, their weights were assigned to usable schedules of the same industry-size group and from the same or related area. For drug stores, all estimated totals derived from the weighting process were further adjusted to the employment levels for June 1966 as reported in the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly employment series. The published estimates for drug stores in this re port are, thus, consistent with the nonsupervisory worker employment shown in the monthly series. Employment estimates for all miscellaneous retail stores, which the Bureau does not publish monthly, were prepared especially for purposes of this survey. Current re gional estimates, which could not be prepared from the monthly series, were based on re gional distributions from the most recent Census of Business, prepared by the Bureau of the Census. The adjustment of the survey totals to the predesignated totals for June 1966 was confined, for the most part, to that segment of the survey for which the sample units were obtained from State unemployment insurance listings. The lists generally were prepared prior to the time of the survey and consequently do not account for units opened or closed after the date of the lists. In the Census and the large chainstore enterprise samples, the best unbiased estimates of totals were presumed to be the weighted-up sample totals, since there was no apparent problem of unrepresented business births in these groups. Criteria for Publication of Estimates The results of this survey differ from those that would have been obtained by a complete canvass of all retail operations, since the survey was conducted on a sample basis. These differences may be substantial in those instances where the sample was small. It has not been possible, therefore, to present data for all cases. No earnings distributions are shown for groupings of fewer than 50 stores. Definitions of Terms Nonsupervisory employees include all full-time, part-time, seasonal, and casual employees below the supervisory level, such as salespersons, shipping, receiving, and stock clerks, laborers, warehousemen, caretakers, office clerks, driver-salesmen, deliverymen, installation and repairmen, elevator operators, porters, janitors, food service employees, and working supervisors. Enterprise is defined as a company which operates, directs, or controls a group of establishments engaged in the same general business. In the case of single unit com panies, the single unit was considered the enterprise. 57 Establishment is generally defined as a single physical location where business is conducted. In the case of two separate business entities transacting business at a single physical location (for example, a leased shoe department in a department store), each was treated as a separate establishment. On the other hand, a drug store which also operated a food counter was treated as a single establishment. Annual volume of sales excludes excise taxes at the retail level. Earnings data relate to straight-time earnings and exclude premium pay for over time and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Commission and bonus earn ings and special sales bonuses, such as "P . M . ' s " and "stim s" paid quarterly or oftener, are included. Individual average hourly earnings for employees not paid by the hour (e.g. , salary, commissions) were obtained by dividing individual earnings reported by the number of hours worked during the corresponding period. Individual weekly earnings were obtained by multiplying the individual average hourly earnings by the number of hours worked during a single week in June 1966. Group average hourly earnings published in this report were obtained by dividing total individual weekly earnings by total individual weekly hours worked. Group average weekly earnings were obtained by dividing the sum of the individual weekly earnings by the number of employees represented in the group total. holidays, Weekly hours of work are for a 1—week period and include hours paid for vacations, sick leave, etc. Group average weekly hours were obtained by dividing total weekly hours worked by total number of nonsupervisory employees.

EARNINGS AND HOURS OF WORK OF NONSUPERVISORY EMPLOYEES: This study is designed to provide information on hourly earnings and weekly hours of work for both male and female nonsupervisory employees and working supervisors for a payroll period including June 13, 1966. The number of employees in each establishment for which earnings and hours data are reported should corre spond with the number of nonsupervisory employees shown in item 3(c) on page 1. The information requested should be reported separately for each establishment and the establishment identified. Earnings data for food counter, cafeteria, or restaurant workers in Department, Drug, or Variety Stores should be entered only on the blue supplement provided. Data for all other employees should be reported in Item 5 of this form. Report earnings and hours separately for each employee unless these data are identical for two or more em ployees. Do not report aggregate earnings and hours for several employees. For convenience of reporting for employees paid on other than an hourly basis, columns 3 through 8 are provided. Data will not, however, be published separately by various methods of pay. Instructions and examples for reporting the necessary data in each column are listed below.
