P re fa c e

This bulletin presents estimates of employment,
average hourly and weekly earnings, and weekly hours of
w ork of nonsupervisory employees in m iscellaneous retail
stores.
The survey was part of a broad p r o g r a m of
studies initiated by the U . S . Department of L a b o r for con­
tinuing app raisal of F e d e ra l m inim um -w age legislation.
The June 1961 findings w ill be used as a basis for m e a s ­
uring changes in employment, earnings, and hours of w ork
to determine the economic effects resulting fro m the 1961
amendments to the F a i r L a b o r Standards Act, which became
effective in September 1961.

The statistics w e r e obtained fro m a nationwide
survey of retail trade (excluding eating and drinking places)
conducted by the Bureau of L a b o r Statistics for a June
1961 payroll period.
Data are provided separately for
men and women; the Northeast, South, North Central,
and West regions of the United States; metropolitan and
nonmetropolitan a re a s; and for retail enterprises and e s ­
tablishments by their annual volume of sales. Appendix A
provides technical information on the scope and method of
the survey, as w e ll as definitions of term s.
A copy of the
questionnaire used in the survey is shown in appendix B.

The Wage and Hour and Public Contracts D iv i ­
sions participated in the planning of the survey and p r o ­
vided the n ecessary funds.
The bulletin was prepared
in the B u re a u 's Division of Wages and Industrial R e la ­
tions under the general supervision of H e r b e r t Schaffer.
Norm an J. Samuels directed the survey and Samuel E.
Cohen and Theodore J. Golonka developed the statistical
and sampling techniques.

5. 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 ending nearest June 1$, 1961.
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. If the establishment is
a Department, Drug, or Variety Store and employs food counter, cafeteria, or restaurant workers, information for
such workers should be entered only on the blue supplement provided.
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 workers. For convenience of reporting for
employees paid on other than an hourly basis, columns 5 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.
