Preface
The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted a nation­
wide survey of retail automotive dealers and gasoline serv­
ice stations for a June 1966 payroll period. Data on em ­
ployment, 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 con­
ducted. 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 Fed­
eral minimum wage of $1. 25 an hour and a 40-hour stand­
ard workweek were applied to certain large retail enter­
prises which were subject to the Fair Labor Standards
Act. The change in the earnings and hours structure r e ­
corded by similar surveys conducted in 1956, 1961, and
1962 is also examined. Data are provided for the United
States; the Northeast, South, North Central, and West
regions; metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas; men and
women; and for retail enterprises and establishments by
their annual volume of sales. Appendix A provides technical
information on the scope and method of the survey, as
well as definitions of term s. A copy of the questionnaire
used in the survey is shown in appendix B.
Comprehensive statistical data for all retail trade,
for each of the major retail groups which retail trade
com prises, and for selected lines of retail business will
be available in the individual bulletins listed on the in­
side 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 appraisal of
Federal legislation relating to minimum wages and m axi­
mum 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 19677
The study was conducted in the Bureau's Office of
Wages and Industrial Relations.
The analysis was pre­
pared by Joseph K. Cocco, under the general direction
of Alvin Bauman.

Employee Earnings and Hours at Retail Automotive Dealers
and in Gasoline Service Stations, June 1966
^Summary
Nonsupervisory employees at the Nation*s automotive dealerships and gaso­
line service stations earned an average of $2. 14 on a straight-time hourly basis
in June 1966. Earnings for the 1. 3 million employees surveyed were widely dis­
persed around that average. Four out of five employees earned between $1 and
$3 an hour, and the middle 50 percent earned between $1. 36 and $2. 52 an hour.
The average workweek was 41. 6 hours. One-fifth of the employees worked less
than 35 hours; over one-sixth, exactly 40 hours; and slightly more than onethird, 48 hours or more during the survey week. The average weekly pay level
was $89.06, and varied from $14. 19 for those who worked less than 15 hours
a week to $109. 87 for those who worked over 40 but less than 48 hours a week.
Average pay levels
from $ 1 .8 2 in the South
compared with $ 1 .7 6 an
$ 2 .3 2 an hour, 54 cents

among the four geographic regions of the Nation ranged
to $ 2 .4 5 in the West.
Men averaged $2. 17 an hour,
hour for women. Metropolitan area workers averaged
more than workers in nonmetropolitan areas.

Earnings averaged $ 2 .57 an hour at motor vehicle dealerships and $ 1 .5 8
an hour in gasoline service stations. In the former line of business, employees
were heavily concentrated toward the upper pay levels.
Three-fifths earned at
least $2 an hour, and nearly one-half of these earned at least $3 an hour.
One-half of the gasoline station employees earned less than $1. 50 an hour, and
two-fifths of these earned less than $1. 25 an hour.
Employees at motor vehicle dealerships worked an average of 43. 4 hours
during the survey week, 4. 1 hours longer than those in gasoline service stations.
Over one-third of the employees in gasoline service stations, but fewer than
one-tenth of those at motor vehicle dealerships worked less than 35 hours, while
a 40-hour week applied to 13 and 21 percent, respectively.
Two-fifths of gas­
oline service station employees, compared with almost three-tenths of the em­
ployees at motor vehicle dealerships worked 48 hours or more.
Average weekly earnings at motor vehicle dealerships were $111.69, and
varied from an average of $17.97 for employees who worked less than 15 hours
to $120.29 for those who worked exactly 40 hours a week.
The weekly pay
level in gasoline service stations was $62.24, and earnings varied from $1 2 .9 5
for those employed for less than 15 hours a week to $86. 21 for those working
48 hours or more.
Average hourly earnings for employees at automotive dealerships and gas­
oline service stations were 12 cents higher in June 1966 than in June 1965 when
a similar survey was conducted.
The overall wage distribution changed only
slightly during this period— a decrease of 4 percentage points in the proportions
paid less than $1. 25 and less than $1. 50 an hour, accompanied by a 4-point
increase in the proportion receiving $ 2 an hour or more. In the 10 years be­
tween October 1956 and June 1966 earnings advanced 62 cents, from $1. 52.

2

At motor vehicle dealers, earnings advanced 17 cents between 1965 and
1966 and 85 cents from October 1956 to June 1966. At gasoline stations, earn­
ings rose 6 cents and 37 cents an hour during these same periods.
Nonsupervisory employees at retail automotive dealers and gasoline service
stations worked 1. 2 hours a week less, on the average, in June 1966 than in
June 1965.
The shortening of the average workweek from 42. 8 to 41. 6 hours
reflects a small but noticeable movement away from long workweeks (in excess
of 40 hours) and towards a 40-hour workweek and more part-time employment
(less than 35 hours a week).
This continues the trend which has been noted
over the last 10 years.
The length of the average workweek at motor vehicle dealers declined 0. 3
hours between June 1965 and June 1966; in gasoline service stations during the
same period the average workweek declined 2. 3 hours.
The change at motor
vehicle dealers reflected a movement in favor of a 40-hour workweek at the ex­
pense of a workweek of 48 hours or more.
In gasoline stations the relative
importance of workweeks of 48 hours or more also declined, but most of this
loss was offset by an increase in part-time employment.
In both lines, the
patterns of change in the hours distribution followed those that have been ob­
served over the 10 years prior to June 1966.
Characteristics
The automotive dealers and gasoline service stations group includes retail
establishments which sell new and used automobiles, trucks, parts and acces­
sories, aircraft, watercraft, gasoline, and lubricating oils.
Motor vehicle dealers are engaged primarily in the retail sales of new
automobiles and trucks, either exclusively or in combination with used vehicles.
Automobile repair shops operated by motor vehicle dealers are also included
in this major group.
Gasoline service stations are engaged primarily in selling gasoline, lubri­
cating oils, and related merchandise, and also may perform minor repair work.
About 1. 3 million nonsupervisory employees at automotive dealerships and
gasoline service stations in the United States were included in the survey. Nearly
half of these were employed at motor vehicle dealerships; two-fifths worked in
gasoline service stations; and the remainder in one of the other lines previously
noted.
About three-tenths each worked in the South and North Central regions
and one-fifth each worked in the Northeast and West. Nine out of 10 employees
were men.
Seven-tenths of the employees worked in metropolitan areas. Oneeighth of the work force was employed in establishments which were subject to
the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
In the two major lines, the
distribution of employees by the various characteristics was similar to that in
the overall group.
Although motor vehicle dealerships and gasoline service stations are part
of the same major industry group, there is a marked difference between these
two lines insofar as the level and structure of earnings and hours of work is
concerned. Much of this difference is attributable to the nature of the business,
the type and degree of skill required, the value of the product being sold, and
methods of wage payment.




3

Motor vehicle dealers employ salesmen who have the personality and sales
ability necessary to persuade potential customers to purchase an automobile from
the dealerships.
Automobile salesmen are usually paid on a commission basis,
so that their earnings are in large measure based on their sales ability. Most
motor vehicle dealers also employ skilled automobile mechanics. Their earnings
frequently depend on their ability to perform their duties speedily and correctly
as a result of the incentive system under which many mechanics work.
Gasoline service stations, for the most part, employ attendants of whom
relatively little skill is required. Service station attendants are usually paid on
an hourly basis.
Although service stations may employ mechanics, they are
frequently engaged in minor repair and maintenance work, and account for a re l­
atively small proportion of the work force in the industry.
The vast differences in the structure of earnings and hours of work that
exist between the two major components profoundly influence the level and dis­
tribution of earnings and hours in the major industry groups.
Consequently,
the analysis is limited to the two major lines of business.
Average Hourly Earnings
The average pay level in motor vehicle dealers was $2. 57 an hour, or 43
cents more than the all-industry average (table 16); in gasoline service stations
the average pay level was $1. 58 an hour, 56 cents below the industry average
(table 30).
Earnings of employees in motor vehicle dealerships were heavily
concentrated toward the upper pay levels.
Three-fifths earned at least $2 an
hour and nearly half of these earned at least $3 an hour.
On the other hand,
one-half of the employees in service stations earned less than $1. 50 an hour,
and two-fifths of these earned less than $ 1 . 2 5 an hour. More than three-fifths
of the employees in the major group who were paid less than $ 1 . 2 5 an hour
worked in gasoline service stations.
The pronounced differences evident in the
earnings distributions are further highlighted by the median pay level (that amount
below and above which earnings for 50 percent of the employees were found).
In motor vehicle dealerships the median pay level was $2. 23 an hour; in service
stations it was 7 5 cents lower.
Earnings for employees of motor vehicle dealers ranged from $2. 21 an
hour in the South to $3. 09 an hour in the West.
In gasoline stations, inter­
regional wage variation was smaller on an absolute basis but greater on a r e l­
ative basis; earnings ranged from $1. 25 an hour in the South to $1. 82 an hour
in the West.
In each region, earnings were grouped toward the middle and upper pay
levels for employees of motor vehicle dealerships, but toward the lower end of
the scale for those in gasoline stations. Even motor vehicle dealers' employees
in the South, the lowest paying region, exceeded by 39 cents an hour the pay
level of gasoline station employees in the West, the highest paying region. How­
ever, one-sixth of the motor vehicle employees in the South were paid less than
$1. 2 5 an hour, which was substantially larger than the proportion of gasoline
station employees in the Northeast or West having such earnings.
In both lines of business, employees in metropolitan areas earned more,
on an average, than those in nonmetropolitan areas; the wage differential was
81 cents at motor vehicle dealers and 31 cents at gas stations (tables 17 and
31). Employees of motor vehicle dealers earned $1. 17 an hour more than those
in service stations in metropolitan areas and 67 cents more in nonmetropolitan
areas.



4

The wage differentials noted above reflect substantial differences in the
earnings distributions.
For example, employees paid less than $1. 2 5 an hour
represented 5 percent of the motor vehicle dealer employees in metropolitan
areas compared with 35 percent of the service station employees in nonmetro­
politan areas.
Men in motor vehicle dealerships averaged $2. 64 an hour, 73 cents more
than women (table 18).
Greater differences existed between them at the upper
rather than at the lower end of the pay scale.
For example, nearly one-fifth
of the men and one-fourth of the women earned less than $1. 50 an hour, whereas
almost three-fifths and two-fifths, respectively, earned $2 an hour or more.
Among the regions, hourly earnings for men ranged from $2. 26 in the South
to $3. 20 in the West.
For women, earnings ranged from $1. 71 an hour to
$2. 12 an hour in the same two regions.
In gas stations, hourly earnings for
men averaged $1. 60 and regionally ranged from $1. 26 in the South to $1. 83
in the West (table 32). Insufficient data were available for women in gas stations
to warrant presentation.
Motor vehicle dealerships often generate a high volume of sales.
Thus,
it was not surprising to find two-thirds of the employees in enterprises which
grossed at least $1 million in annual sales (table 19).
Earnings of these em­
ployees, at $2. 79 an hour, were 56 cents higher than those of employees in
firms having $500, 000 to $1 million in annual sales; 83 cents higher than in
those having from $250, ,000 to $500, 000 in annual sales; and 72 cents higher
than in those having less than $250, 000 in annual sales. The large pay advan­
tage of the highest volume group over the $250, 000 to $500, 000 enterprise sales
group (the lowest paying) reflects significant differences between the earnings
distributions.
For example, 15 percent of the employees in the former group
compared with 31 percent in the latter earned less than $1. 50 an hour, while
one-half and one-fifth, respectively, averaged $2. 50 an hour or more.
Much less variation in earnings was found among gasoline service stations
when compared by enterprise sales volume.
Employees in gas station enter­
prises having $1 million or more in annual sales averaged $1. 72 an hour; those
in stations having $250, 000 to $500, 000 in annual sales averaged $1. 71 an hour;
those in stations having $500, 000 to $1 million in annual sales averaged $1. 67
an hour; and those in stations having less than $250, 000 in annual sales averaged
$1. 52 an hour (table 33). Thus, the spread between the lowest and highest pay­
ing enterprises was 20 cents in gas stations and 83 cents in motor vehicle deal­
erships.
The smaller differential in average earnings in gasoline stations re ­
flects the comparative similarity among the various enterprise groups in the
distribution of earnings.
The proportions paid less than $ 1 . 2 5 an hour ranged
from one-tenth to one-fourth; those paid less than $1. 50 an hour, from two-fifths
to slightly more than one-half; and those paid $2. 50 an hour or more, from 6
to 12 percent.
Data were also tabulated for employees in gasoline service stations gen­
erally subject t o 1 and not subject to the minimum wage provisions of the Fair
Labor Standards Act. As shown in the following tabulation, employees in subject
establishments averaged $ 1 . 8 0 an hour, 27 cents more than those in establish­
ments which are not within the scope of the act.

All gasoline service stations having $250, 000 or more in annual sales were generally subject to the minimum
wage provisions of the FLSA.




5

One-fourth of the employees not subject to the act were paid less than
$ 1 . 2 5 an hour and one-half earned less than $ 1. 40 an hour. In comparison, 7
and 27 percent, respectively, of the subject employees had such earnings. Dif­
ferences narrowed somewhat toward the higher pay levels.

Employees of motor vehicle dealers were generally excluded from the scope
of the Fair Labor Standards Act at the time of the survey.
Weekly Hours of Work
Employees at motor vehicle dealerships worked an average of 43. 4 hours
during the selected week, 4. 1 hours longer than those in gasoline service stations
(tables 21 and 35). The longer average workweek at motor vehicle dealers than
at gasoline stations is due to the smaller proportion who worked part time (fewer
than one-tenth versus more than one-third at gas stations) rather than of larger
proportions who worked long hours (fewer than three-tenths of the motor vehicle
dealer employees compared with two-fifths of the gasoline station employees
worked as many as 48 hours a week).

Regionally, the average workweek at motor vehicle dealers ranged from
41. 7 hours in the Northeast to 45. 0 hours in the South. The average workweek
for employees in gas stations ranged from 35. 5 hours in the Northeast to 45. 4
hours in the South.
In every region but the South employees of motor vehicle



6

dealers worked a greater number of hours, on the average, than those in gas
stations.
The work schedule in the South deviated from this pattern, where 55
percent of the employees in gas stations worked 48 hours or more a week.
In each line employees in nonmetropolitan areas worked longer hours than
those in metropolitan areas (tables 22 and 36).
Employees at motor vehicle
dealers in nonmetropolitan areas averaged 45. 0 hours compared with 42. 6 hours
for those in metropolitan areas.
Similarity, employees in rural gas stations,
as ci group, averaged 41. 2 hours of work compared with 38. 4 for those in urban
areas.
In each of the regions, employees at motor vehicle dealers in nonmetro­
politan areas worked a longer week, by at least 0. 6 hours, than those in m et­
ropolitan areas.
This pattern was not followed in gasoline stations.
In the
Northeast and West employees in metropolitan areas averaged 1. 2 and 1. 6 hours
a week more than those in nonmetropolitan areas.
Men worked 5. 9 hours longer than women at auto dealers during the survey
week, 44. 1 and 38. 2 hours, respectively.
Men in gas stations averaged 39. 6
hours of work a week. Insufficient data were available for women in gas stations
to warrant presentation (tables 23 and 37).
It was common for men at motor vehicle dealers to work more than 40
hours a week.
Seven-tenths worked such hours, and more than two-fifths of
these worked at least 48 hours a week.
Many men at motor vehicle dealers
are commission salesmen and by working long hours afford themselves the op­
portunity to raise their earnings substantially. On the other hand, most women in
the industry are engaged in office and clerical work and are paid on a time basis.
Only one-third of the women at auto dealers worked over 40 hours a week. At
service stations, men also worked many hours; one-half worked in excess of 40
hours and five-sixths of these worked at least 48 hours a week. The long hours
may reflect an attempt by these employees to compensate for their generally
low hourly rate of pay in order to raise their weekly earnings.
However, more
than one-third of the men in gas stations worked part time (less than 35 hours
a week).
There was no apparent relationship between enterprise or establishment
sales volume and weekly hours of work (tables 24 and 33) at either motor vehicle
dealerships or gasoline service stations.
At motor vehicle dealers, average
weekly hours ranged from 42. 3 in enterprises having less than $250, 000 in
annual sales to 44. 4 in those having $500, 000 to $1 million in annual sales.
In service stations, the average workweek ranged from 38. 6 hours in enterprises
having $250, 000 to $500, 000 in annual sales to 41. 4 hours in those having
$500, 000 to $ 1 million in annual sales.
Average Weekly Earnings
Employees at motor vehicle dealer ships averaged $111.69 weekly at straighttime rates, $49. 45 a week more than employees in gasoline service stations
(tables 28 and 42). Interestingly, the highest weekly earnings at motor vehicle
dealerships were found among those employees working a straight 40-hour week,
whereas, in gasoline service stations, those working 48 hours a week or more
registered the highest weekly pay level on a straight-time basis.



7

Hourly Earnings and Weekly Hours
Employees at motor vehicle dealers and those in gasoline service stations
were grouped by their average hourly earnings and, within each earnings group,
distributed by their weekly hours of work (tables 26 and 40).
When the data
are tabulated in this manner, sharp contrasts as well as striking similarities
between the two lines become evident.
For example, in both lines large pro­
portions of lower paid employees (those paid less than $1. 5 0 an hour) worked
long hours, and a standard workweek (40 to 42 hours) was much more common
among employees paid at least $2 an hour than among those receiving a lower
rate. On the other hand, in gasoline stations about two-fifths of the employees
paid less than $ 1 . 5 0 an hour worked on a part-time basis, whereas at motor
vehicle dealers only one-eighth of such employees worked part time.

In both lines, from approximately one-half to three-fifths of the employees
in the earnings categories at and above $2 worked at least 44 hours a week; at
motor vehicle dealers only about one-fifth of the employees receiving this rate
of pay worked as many as 48 hours, but at gas stations the proportion was
about twice as great.
More of the same relationships emerge between hourly earnings and weekly
hours when employees are categorized by weekly hours of work and distributed
by average hourly earnings (tables 27 and 41). For example, at motor vehicle
dealers nearly three-fourths of the employees who worked 40 hours a week aver­
aged at least $2 an hour and fewer than one-tenth, less than $1. 50.
Among
both those who worked fewer hours and more hours, the proportions paid less
than $ 1 . 5 0 were greater and the proportions paid $2 or more were smaller.
Employees who worked exactly 40 hours earned $1. 01 an hour more than those
who worked part time and 76 cents an hour more than those who worked 48
hours or more.
In gasoline service stations the pattern was similar, although
the differences between the 4 0 -hour group and the others were smaller than at
motor vehicle dealerships.

Wage Changes, June 1965—June 1966
Employees of motor vehicle dealers had a 17-cent-an-hour increase in
their average pay level since June 1965, from $2. 40 to $2. 57 an hour. At the
same time, earnings in gasoline service stations rose only 6 cents an hour,
from $1. 5 2 in 1965. At motor vehicle dealers most of the movement in wages
was confined to the higher paid employees, whereas the reverse was true at
gasoline service stations.
The sharpest advance along the earnings scale at
motor vehicle dealers was the increase in the proportion of employees paid $2
an hour or more, from 55 to 60 percent. On the other hand, at service stations,
the single greatest change was the decline in the proportion paid less than $1. 25
an hour, from 27 to 20 percent, as shown below.
Among the regions, earnings at motor vehicle dealers increased by at least
13 cents an hour (in the North Central region) and the advances ranged to as
much as 26 cents an hour (in the West). The average hourly pay level at gas­
oline service stations increased 4 cents in the Northeast, 10 cents in the North
Central region, and 13 cents in the South, but decreased 2 cents in the West.

Earnings of employees at motor vehicle dealers in metropolitan areas rose
21 cents an hour between June 1965 and June 1966.
During this same period,
earnings of employees in nonmetropolitan areas advanced 12 cents an hour. Thus,
the earnings differential between the two areas widened both on an absolute and
relative basis during the year. In both areas, however, employees concentrated
toward the upper pay levels tended to receive greater increases than those at
the middle and lower levels. For example, the proportion of employees in met­
ropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas paid less than $1. 25 an hour declined by
only 2 and 3 percentage points, respectively; whereas those paid at least $3 an
hour in metropolitan areas increased by 6 percentage points, and those paid at
least $2 an hour in nonmetropolitan areas increased 7 percentage points.

Employees in gasoline ^service stations in metropolitan areas showed an
8-cent-an-hour increase in their average pay level, 6 cents an hour more than
the increase for those in nonmetropolitan areas. At gas stations in both areas
the greatest changes were found among the lower paid employees.
Those paid
at least $ 1. 25 an hour, for example, increased from 81 to 87 percent in m et­
ropolitan areas and from 60 to 65 percent in the other areas.
On the other
hand, the proportion paid $2 an hour or more increased only 2 percentage points
in metropolitan areas (from 21 to 23 percent) and declined 1 percentage point
(from 10 to 9 percent) in nonmetropolitan areas.

Men1s average pay level at automotive dealers advanced 18 cents an hour
and women1s by 8 cents an hour.
Once again, more movement was evident
among the wages of men and women at the higher earnings levels. As shown
below, the most noticeable changes along the pay scale were in the proportions
of men and women paid at least $2 an hour, which increased from 57 to 62
percent and from 34 to 40 percent, respectively.
There was an 8-cent-an-hour advance in the average pay level of men in
service stations. As was noted for the other characteristics, the lower paid men
benefited most from the wage changes which occurred since June 1965.
At motor vehicle enterprises having at least $1 million in annual sales,
employee earnings increased 18 cents an hour over the year, from $2. 61.
In
enterprises having at least $250, 000 but less than $1 million in annual sales,
and in enterprises having less than $250, 000 in annual sales, earnings increased
10 and 16 cents, respectively. Gasoline service stations reported increased em­
ployee earnings of 6, 7, and 5 cents an hour in the same three enterprise
groups, respectively.
Earnings of lower paid employees in each of the three
enterprise classes advanced, but the advances were greater among employees
in gasoline stations than at motor vehicle dealers.
The proportions paid less
than $1. 2 5 an hour, for example, declined from 2 to 4 percentage points at
motor vehicle dealers, but the proportion having such earnings at gasoline stations
declined from 5 to 11 percentage points.
In most cases, earnings of higher
paid employees also advanced. The proportion of employees paid at least $2. 50
an hour at motor vehicle establishments advanced from 3 to 5 percentage points.
At gasoline stations the proportion of employees having such earnings declined
from 14 percent to 12 percent in enterprises having annual sales of at least
$1 million. However, in enterprises having less than $1 million in annual sales,
the proportions of gasoline station employees paid at least $ 2 . 5 0 an hour ad­
vanced 1 or 2 percentage points.

Earnings of employees at gasoline service stations generally within the
scope of the Fair Labor Standards Act increased 4 cents an hour, from the



11

$ 1. 7 6 -an-hour average recorded in June 1965.
However, the increase in the
nonsubject sector was even greater, 7 cents an hour from $1. 46 an hour the
previous year. Changes in the distribution of earnings of both groups, however,
were confined to the lower pay levels.
The proportion of employees paid less
than $1. 25 an hour declined from 12 to 7 percent in subject establishments and
from 30 to 24 percent in nonsubject establishments. Changes were minor beyond
$ 1 .^ 5 in nonsubject establishments, but in subject establishments improvements
in the distribution were evident up to $1. 60 an hour.

Hours Changes, June 1965— June 1966
Nonsupervisory employees at motor vehicle dealerships worked slightly
fewer hours a week in June 1966 than in June 1965, 43. 7 and 43. 4 hours, r e ­
spectively.
At gasoline service stations the drop in average weekly hours was
sharper, from 41. 6 to 39. 3 hours.
For employees of auto dealers there were
only two points along the hours scale at which there were any notable changes
between surveys— an increase in the proportion working a 40-hour week (from
18 to 21 percent) and a corresponding decrease of those working 48 hours a
week or more (from 32 to 28 percent). Changes were more pronounced at gas­
oline service stations.
The proportion working at least 48 hours a week de­
clined from 47 to 40 percent, while those in a part-time basis increased from
30 to 35 percent.

The length of the average workweek at auto dealerships declined in two
regions— by 0 .5 hours in the West and 1. 1 hours in the South— and increased
in the other two, by 0 .3 hours in the North Central region and by 0 .4 hours in
the Northeast.

However, at gasoline service stations the number of hours in the work­
week declined in every region, the amount ranging from 1.4 hours in the North
Central region to 3. 8 hours in the West.

Only slight declines were observed in the workweeks of employees at motor
vehicle dealerships in both metropolitan areas (from 42. 9 hours in 1965 to 42. 6
hours in 1966) and nonmetropolitan areas (45. 3 to 45. 0 hours). At gasoline serv­
ice stations, however, the declines were somewhat more pronounced, 2. 5 hours
in metropolitan areas— from 40. 9 hours in 1965— and 1. 7 hours in nonmetropolitan
areas— from 42. 9 hours the previous year.
Small declines in the workweeks of both men and women were observed
at motor vehicle dealerships.
Men's average workweek dropped by 0. 2 hours,
from 44. 3 hours in 1965; and women's by 0 .4 hours, from 38. 6 in 1965.
At
gasoline service stations the drop in the number of weekly hours of men was
somewhat sharper, from 41. 9 hours in 1965 to 39. 6 hours in 1966.
No com­
parison is available for women.
Among employees of motor vehicle dealers in the three enterprise sales
volume groupings, the average workweek was shorter, from 0. 1 to 0. 5 of an
hour, in June 1966 than it had been a year earlier.
Among gasoline station
employees in the three groups, the average workweek declined much more
steeply*— the smallest decrease was 1. 6 hours.
The proportion of employees at motor vehicle dealers who worked part
time showed no especially noticeable change in any enterprise group. A 40-hour
workweek, however, increased in importance, while a workweek of more than
40 hours declined in each enterprise group. At gasoline service stations, parttime employment increased somewhat in enterprises having at least $1 million
in annual sales, but to a lesser degree than in the smaller volume enterprises.
The enterprise groups having annual sales of less than $1 million recorded
slightly greater proportions of employees who worked a 40-hour week in 1966
than in 1965.
In enterprises having $1 million or more in annual sales, how­
ever, the proportion having such hours rose somewhat more sharply. The r e l­
ative importance of workweeks in excess of 40 hours declined markedly in each
of the enterprise groups, as shown in the following tabulation.

Employees at gasoline service station establishments which grossed at
least $250, 000 in annual sales experienced a notable drop in their average weekly
hours, from 42. 2 to 39. 5 hours a week. Hours also declined at service stations
having a lower annual sales volume, from 41. 5 hours in 1965 to 39. 2 hours in
1966. As shown in the following tabulation, changes along the hours scale were
similar.

Changes in Average Weekly Earnings
Average weekly earnings of employees at motor vehicle dealers increased
from $105. 04 to $111. 69 between June 1965 and June 1966.
This increase of
6. 3 percent did not fully reflect the increase in average hourly earnings because
of the mitigating effect of the decline in average weekly hours of work. At gas­
oline service stations the decline in average weekly hours was sufficiently large
to cause a decline in the level of weekly earnings during the same period (from
$63. 24 to $62. 24, or 1. 6 percent) despite a 3. 9-percent increase in average
hourly earnings.
In each region, employees of motor vehicle dealers had higher weekly
earnings in June 1966 than a year earlier. In the Northeast and North Central



14

regions, a longer average workweek produced an increase in weekly earnings
which was greater than the relative increases in average hourly earnings. Gas­
oline station employees in two regions— the Northeast and West— had declines in
the weekly wage level. In the Northeast the declines reflected the shorter aver­
age workweek in 1966.
In the West, however, a decline of 9 percent in the
length of the average workweek together with a 1 -percent drop in the average
hourly pay level lowered the weekly pay level 10. 5 percent below what it had
been a year earlier.

Changes in Weekly Hours by Hourly Earnings
The relatively small change in the length of the average workweek for
employees of motor vehicle dealers persisted throughout the earnings continuum.
Except for an increase of 1. 5 hours in the workweek of the small proportion
paid less than $ 1 an hour, none of the changes (all but one of which were de­
clines) in the other earnings groups exceeded 1 hour. At gasoline stations, the
average workweek declined in duration for each earnings group.
In the middle
range of the pay scale and in the under $1 group these declines were especially
large, as shown below.

At motor vehicle dealers, changes in the hours distribution for the various
earnings groups were generally small and marked by an increase in the propor­
tion who worked 40 to 42 hours a week, and a decrease in the proportion who
worked 48 hours or more. There was no consistent change along the pay scale
in the proportion of part-time employees. At gasoline service stations, on the other
hand, changes in the hours distribution were noticeably large. The general de­
cline in the proportions of employees who worked 48 hours or more usually was
offset by an increase in part-time work, rather than in a standard workweek.

Changes in Hourly Earnings by Weekly Hours
Changes in the level and distribution of earnings for employees in the
selected hours groups differed noticeably between the two lines of business. The
pay level of part-time employees at motor vehicle dealers declined by 16 cents
an hour.
An upward movement in earnings was evident throughout most of the
pay scale up to $3 an hour.
However, the proportion of employees paid at
least $3 an hour was unchanged, and average earnings for these employees de­
clined sharply, lowering the average for the entire part-time group.
At gaso­
line stations, on the other hand, earnings for part-time employees rose 6 cents
an hour.
Motor vehicle dealer employees who worked 40 to 44 hours a week
had a 23-cent increase in average hourly earnings, mostly reflecting gains for
the higher paid employees, but for gasoline station employees who worked this
number of hours there was little change in the level or distribution of earnings.
Among employees who worked at least 48 hours a week, the earnings level rose
7 cents an hour in both lines, and the patterns of change in the distribution
were similar.

Changes in Earnings and Hours, October 1956 to June 1966
Since the Bureau's first comprehensive survey of earnings and hours at
motor vehicle dealers and gasoline service stations in October 1956, 2 earnings
and hours structures have changed considerably.
The level of earnings has advanced 85 cents at motor vehicle dealers,
from $1. 72, and 37 cents at gasoline stations, from $1. 21. In both lines, but e s­
pecially in gasoline stations, the advance during the second half of the decade
was larger, both relatively and absolutely, than during the first half.
At motor vehicle dealers, the sharpest change in the earnings distribution
occurred at the upper end of the pay scale but the reverse took place at gaso­
line stations.
The proportion paid at least $2. 50 an hour at motor vehicle
dealers increased from 14 percent to 41 percent while the proportion paid less
than $1. 25 declined from 27 percent to 8 percent.
In gasoline stations, the
proportion paid less than $1. 25 an hour decreased from 56 percent to 20 percent,
but even at $1. 50 and over the change was smaller— an increase from 22 percent
to 49 percent.
In each region, the pay level increased in both lines of business, but was
substantially greater at motor vehicle dealers than in gasoline service stations.

Between October 1956 and June 1966 a noticeable change occurred in the
distribution of employees by weekly hours of work in both lines— a decline in
the proportion of employees who worked more than 40 hours a week. At motor
vehicle dealers, the movement was mainly towards a workweek of 35 to 40 hours
inclusive, but in gasoline service stations, the proportion of employees on work­
weeks of 35 to 40 hours and part-time work increased by about the same amount
(5 and 7 percentage points, respectively). Most of the change in the hours distri­
butions took place between 1962 and 1966. As shown in the following tabulation,
this pattern of change was generally followed in each of the regions.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of Survey '
This bulletin relates to those retail establishments which were classified, according
to the 195 7 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, as part of the auto­
motive dealers and gasoline service stations major industry group (SIC 55). Establishments
within this group were further identified as motor vehicle dealers (SIC 551) and gasoline
service stations (SIC 554).
The major group includes retail dealers selling new and used
automobiles, trucks, parts and accessories, aircraft, boats, and gasoline service stations.
Motor vehicle dealers are engaged primarily in the retail sales of new automobiles
and trucks, either exclusively or in combination with used vehicles. Automobile repair
shops operated by motor vehicle dealers are also included.
Gasoline service stations are engaged primarily in selling gasoline, lubricating oils,
and related merchandise, and also may perform minor repair work.
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 in­
cluding June 13, 1966.
Sample Design*2
The sample was designed to yield national and regional estimates for the major indus­
try group and for the lines 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.
For example, the sample size for lines of business shown separately
was proportionately larger than for those not published and the probability of selection in­
creased with the employment size of the unit.
The following tabulation shows the number of units included in the sample of the auto­
motive dealers and gasoline service stations group and of the motor vehicle dealers (new
and used cars), and gasoline service stations for which separate data are published:

Establishment samples were obtained from three different sources:
(1) State unem­
ployment insurance listings furnished employer reporting units with four employees or more.
(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 conjunc­
tion with its Monthly Survey of Retail Sales covered single-unit retail stores with fewer
than four employees.
The census coverage of small units was necessary to supplement
the Bureau*s universe list for retail trade, since State unemployment insurance laws in
many States do not cover employers with fewer than four employees.




73

74
Method of Collection
The majority of the establishments included in the sample were solicited for infor­
mation by mail. 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.
Estimating Procedure
Data collected for each sampling unit were weighted in accordance with the probability
of selecting that unit. For example, where 1 unit out of 10 was selected from an industrysize group, data for that unit were considered as representative of the 10 units in the group.
Thus, each segment of the 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 having unusable data, their weights were assigned
to usable schedules of the same indutry size group and from the same or related area.
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 in this report are, thus, consistent with the
production worker employment shown in the monthly series.
Employment estimates for
individual industry groups, which the Bureau does not publish monthly, were prepared e s ­
pecially for purposes of this survey. Current regional estimates, which could not be pre­
pared from the monthly series, were based on regional 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 con­
fined, 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 the 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 com ­
plete canvass of all retail operations, since the survey was conducted on a sample basis.
These differences may be substantial in those instances were 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.
Definition of Terms
Nonsupervisory employees include all full-tim e, part-tim e, seasonal, and casual em ­
ployees 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.
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 companies,
the single unit was considered the enterprise.




75
■
^ -Sfrftbfeshment is generally defined as a single physical location where business is con­
ducted. In the case of two separate business entities transacting business at a single phys­
ical location (for example, a leased shoe department in a department store), each was treated
as a separate 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 earnings
and special sales bonuses, such as nP. M. 's " and "s tim 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.
Weekly hours of work are for a 1-week period and include hours paid for vacations,
holidays, sick leave, etc.
Group average weekly hours were obtained by dividing total weekly hours worked by
total number of nonsupervisory employees.
Regions used in this study include the following: Northeast— Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and
Vermont; South— Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, M ississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia; North Central— Illinois, Indiana, Iowa,
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, M issouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and
Wisconsin; W est— Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Montana, Nevada,
New
Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.
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 re a s. n 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. For a more detailed descrip­
tion, see Standard Metropolitan Statistical A reas, 1964, prepared by the Bureau of the Budget.
