Preface
This bulletin presents estim ates of employment,
average hourly and weekly earnings, and weekly hours of
w ork o f nonsupervisory em ployees in m iscellaneous retail
stores in June 1962. This survey supplements a sim ilar
study conducted in June 1961. This bulletin provides data
on changes in earnings and hours of work between the su r
vey periods, during which time the 1961 amendments to the
F air L abor Standards Act, that established a $ 1 minimum
wage fo r em ployees in large retail en terprises, becam e
effective.
The survey was part of a broad program of
studies initiated by the U. S. Department of Labor for con
tinuing appraisal of F ederal minimum wage legislation.
The statistics w ere obtained from a nationwide
survey o f retail trade (excluding eating and drinking places)
conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for a June 1962
payroll period. Data are provided separately for men and
women; four regions o f the United States— Northeast,
South, North Central, and W est; m etropolitan and non
m etropolitan a rea s; and fo r retail enterprises and estab
lishm ents by their annual volume of sales.
Appendix A
provides technical inform ation on the scope and method of
the survey, as w ell as definitions of term s. A copy of the
questionnaire used in the survey is shown in appendix B.
A bulletin containing com prehensive statistical
data for the entire retail trade industry (except eating
and drinking places) is available. Separate bulletins p r o
viding data fo r each of the other m ajor retail groups c o m
prising retail trade w ill also be issued.
(See inside
back c o v e r .)
The Wage and Hour and Public Contracts D ivisions
participated in the planning of the survey and provided the
n ecessa ry funds. This study was conducted in the Bureau1s
D ivision of National Wage and Salary Income by Norman J.
Samuels, Chief o f the D ivision, under the general direction
of L. R. Linsenm ayer, A ssistant C om m issioner fo r Wages
and Industrial R elations.
The analysis was prepared by

Appendix A: 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 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 sta
tionery, sporting goods and bicycles, farm and garden supply, jewelry, fuel and ice dealers,
florists, cigar, newspaper, cameras and photography supplies, gifts and souvenirs, 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 cosm etics, toiletries, tobacco and novelty
merchandise; and they may or may not operate a soda fountain or lunch counter.
The 50 States and the District of Columbia are covered. The data reflect the earn
ings and hours of work of nonsupervisory employees for a representative payroll period end
ing nearest June 15, 1962.
Sample Design
The sample was designed to yield national and regional estimates for the major in
dustry group and for the line of business for which separate data are shown.
A stratified
sample design was used with variable sampling ratios depending on the kind of business and
employment size of the sample unit. 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 sample 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:

Establishment samples were obtained from three different sources: (1) State un
employment insurance listings furnished employer reporting units with eight or more em
ployees.
(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 lis t
ings 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 covering single-unit retail stores with fewer than
eight employees. The Census coverage of small units was necessary to supplement the Bu
reau's universe lists for retail trade, since State unemployment insurance laws in many
States do not cover employers with fewer than four employees.
Method of Collection
The majority of the establishments included in the sample were solicited for infor
mation by m ail. The largest units were visited in person by field economists of the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, as were the sm allest units by the Bureau of the Census enumerators
acting as agents for the BLS.
Personal visits were also made to a sample of the nonre
spondents to the mail questionnaire.
47
48
Estimating Procedure
Data collected for each sampling unit were weighted in accordance with the proba
bility of selecting that unit.
For example, where 1 establishment out of 10 was selected
from an industry-size group, data for that establishment were considered as representative
of the 10 establishments 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 nonre
spondents 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 sched
ules 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 1962, as reported in the Bureau of Labor
Statistics monthly employment series. The published estimates for drug stores in this r e
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 r e
gional estimates, which could not be prepared from the monthly series, were based on r e
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 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 Term s
Nonsupervisory employees include all full-tim e, part-tim e, seasonal, and casual
employees below the supervisory level, such as salespersons, shipping, receiving, and stock
clerks, laborers, warehousemen, caretakers, office clerks, driver-salesm en, deliverymen,
installation and repairmen, elevator operators, porters, janitors, food service employees,
and working supervisors.
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.
Enterprise.
Establishments were considered to be part of a larger enterprise if
owned by a company operating other establishments engaged in the same general field of
business and under its general direction or control.
The term s "en terp rise" and "esta b
lishm ent" were used synonymously for single-unit companies.
49
Annual volume of sales excludes excise taxes at the retail level.
Earnings data relate to straight-time earnings and exclude premium pay for overtime
and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
Commission and bonus earnings and
special sales bonuses, such as nP. M. 'S n 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 1962.
Group average hourly earnings published in this report were obtained by dividing
total individual 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.
Regions used in this study include the following States: Northeast— Connecticut,
Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
and Vermont; South— Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia,

Metropolitan areas as used in this report refers to those cities and county areas de
fined by the Bureau of the Budget as “Standard Metropolitan Statistical A reas. “ Metropolitan
areas include those counties containing at least one central city of 50,000 population and those
counties around such cities which are metropolitan in character and economically and socially
integrated with the county containing the central city.
