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 sim ilar survey was conducted. In addition to data for 1966, the bulletin provides an analysis of changes in e m ployee earnings and hours between the two survey periods, during which time a Federal minimum wage of $ 1 .2 5 an hour and a 4 0 -hour standard workweek were applied to certain large enterprises which were subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act. The change in the earnings and hours structure recorded by similar surveys conducted in 1956, 1961, and 1962 also is examined. Data are pro vided for the United States; the Northeast, South, North Central, and West regions; metropolitan and nonmetro politan areas; men and women; and for retail enterprises and establishments by their annual volume of sales. A p pendix A provides technical information of 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 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 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 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 Section4(d) of the Fair Labor Standards Act— January 1967. This study was conducted in the Bureau’ s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations by the Division of Compen sation Structure. The analysis was prepared by Melba L. Lee, under the general direction of Alvin Bauman.

Three o u t of every four employees earned between $ 1 .2 5 and $ 3 an hour, three-fourths were paid $ 1 .5 0 an hour or more, and three-tenths at least $ 2 .5 0 an hour. The average workweek was 38.6 hours. One-fifth of the employees worked fewer than 35 hours, one-third, exactly 40 hours, and one-fifth, 48 hours or more during the survey week. The weekly pay level varied from $16. 15 for those employees who worked fewer than 15 hours to $ 1 1 2 .6 0 for those who worked 48 hours or more. Average hourly pay levels among the four geographic regions of the Nation ranged from $ 1 .8 6 in the South to $ 2 .5 2 in the West. The average for men was $2. 36 an hour, compared with $ 1. 74 for women. Metropolitan area workers averaged $ 2 .3 2 an hour, 48 cents more than workers in nonmetropolitan areas. Employees in enterprises that had $500, 000 to $ 1 million in annual sales aver aged $ 2 .3 8 an hour; those in enterprises that had at least $ 1 million in sales averaged $ 2 .3 1 an hour; those in enterprises that had between $ 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 and $ 5 0 0,0 0 0 in sales averaged $ 2 .2 4 an hour; and those in enterprises that had less than $ 2 5 0,0 0 0 averaged $ 1 .9 9 an hour. Workers in establishments which generally were subject to the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act averaged $ 2 .3 7 an hour, 24 cents more than those in establishments which were not subject to the act. Among the four broad geographic regions the average workweek ranged from 36 hours in the Northeast to 42. 1 in the South. Employees in metropolitan areas averaged 38 hours of work during the survey week, 2. 4 hours fewer than employees in nonmetropolitan areas. Men worked 5. 5 hours longer than women, 40. 2 hours a week. The average workweek among the enterprise classes ranged from 37 .4 hours in those that had less than $25 0,0 0 0 in sales to 4 0 .6 hours in those that had $ 5 0 0,0 0 0 to $ 1 million in sales. In furniture, home furnishings, and equipment stores, and household ap pliance stores, for which data are shown separately, earnings averaged $ 2 .2 1 and $2. 15 an hour, respectively. Hours for employees in the former line of business averaged 38 .4 a week compared with 40.1 for those in the latter. Weekly earnings in furniture and equipment stores were $ 8 4 .6 9 and $86. 36 in household appliance stores. In both lines the employees working fewer than 15 hours a week had the lowest weekly earnings, and those working at least 48 hours had the highest. 1 2 Average hourly earnings for all nonsupervisory employees in furniture, home furnishings, and household appliance stores were 9 cents an hour higher in June 1966 than in June 1965, when a similar survey was conducted. Between October 1956 and June 1965, hourly earnings advanced 48 cents, or an average of 5. 5 cents a year. The overall wage distribution changed only slightly b e tween 1965 and 1966— for example, a decrease of 3 percentage points in the proportion of employees earning less than $ 1 .2 5 an hour was accompanied by a 3-point increase^in the proportion receiving at least $ 2 .5 0 an hour. Average hourly earnings advanced by 11 cents in furniture and equipment stores and by 6 cents in household appliance stores over the year between surveys. The average workweek declined 0. 3 of an hour, from 38. 9 in 1965. Work weeks of over 40 hours declined in importance while part-time weeks increased in importance. These changes in the distribution of hours between 1965 and 1966 continue the pattern noted since October 1956, when the Bureau conducted its first comprehensive study of retail trade. The length of the workweek in furniture and equipment stores declined 0.6 of an hour, and that in household ap pliance stores rose 0. 3 of an hour since 1965. Characteristics Furniture, home furnishings, and household appliance stores sell a variety of items used to furnish and equip the home. Some stores in this group sell all types of merchandise, such as furniture, floor coverings, drapery, china, glassware, metalware, household appliances, radio and television sets, phono graph records, and musical supplies. Others specialize in one of these lines or more. In addition to sales and clerical workers many stores in this group employ deliverymen, installation men, and repairmen. The payment of com missions and bonuses is widespread in the industry, and these payments are in cluded as part of the earnings shown in this bulletin. About 374, 000 nonsupervisory employees in furniture, home furnishings, and household appliance stores in the United States were included in the survey. Approximately three-fifths of these were employed in furniture and equipment stores, another one-fifth in household appliance stores, and the remainder in one of the other merchandise lines previously noted. Three-tenths of the em ployees worked in the South, one-fourth each worked in the North Central and Northeast, and one-fifth worked in the West. Seven out of 10 employees were men. Seven-tenths of the work force were employed in metropolitan areas; and one-fifth 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 various characteristics was similar to that in the overall group. Average Hourly Earnings Nonsupervisory employees in the Nation's retail furniture, home furnishings, and household appliance stores earned $ 2 .1 9 an hour in June 1966. Earnings were widespread for the 374, 000 employees surveyed; the middle half of the work force earned between $ 1 .5 0 and $ 2 .2 9 an hour (table 2). Median earnings, however, were 29 cents below the mean, indicating that the industry’ s wage structure does encompass some lower paid employees. 3 Among the four broad geographic regions, earnings varied by as much as 66 cents an hour; the average ranged from $ 1 .8 6 an hour in the South to $ 2 .5 2 an hour in the West. Three-tenths of the southern workers earned less than $ 1 .3 0 an hour compared with no more than one-sixth of the workers earning these amounts in any other region. The South employed three-tenths of the Nation's work force in this major group, but nearly one-half of those paid less than $ 1 .3 0 an hour. Two-fifths of the employees in the West and one-third of those in the Northeast averaged at least $2. 50 an hour; the proportions with these earnings in the North Central and South were three-tenths and one-sixth, r e spectively. F orty-six percent of the work force were employed in the Northeast and West, yet those regions combined employed 58 percent of those paid at least $ 2 .5 0 an hour. Employees in metropolitan areas, at $ 2 .3 2 an hour, earned 48 cents an hour more, on the average, than those in nonmetropolitan areas (table 3). More than one-half the metropolitan area employees earned at least $ 2 an hour; onethird earned at least $ 2 .5 0 an hour; and one-fifth earned at least $ 3 an hour. The proportions of nonmetropolitan area workers with these earnings, however, drops off sharply, three-tenths, one-sixth, and one-seventh, respectively. On the other hand, two-fifths of the nonmetropolitan area employees earned less than $ 1.50 an hour. In each region metropolitan area workers enjoyed a wage advantage over those in nonmetropolitan areas. This advantage ranged from 22 cents in the Northeast to 46 cents in the North Central region. Inter regionally, however, nonmetropolitan area workers in the Northeast and West averaged 8 and 17 cents an hour m ore, respectively, than metropolitan area workers in the South. Earn ings in metropolitan areas were distributed more broadly than those in nonmet ropolitan areas in each region. Even in the region with the sm allest differential in earnings (the Northeast), earnings for the middle half of the workers in m et ropolitan areas were spread over a $ 1.24-range, while in nonmetropolitan areas earnings for this same group were spread over a 98-cent range. Men at $ 2 .3 6 an hour, averaged 62 cents an hour more than women (table 4). Diffe rences in their pay were more marked at the upper than the lower end of the pay scale. For example, 7 percent of the men and 9 percent of the women earned less than $ 1 .2 5 an hour and 20 and 36 percent, respectively, earned less than $ 1 ,5 0 an hour. However, more than one-half of the men, compared with one-fourth of the women, earned at least $ 2 an hour, and onefourth and one-twentieth, respectively, earned at least $3 an hour. The large earnings difference between men and women may be explained by the differences in the jobs they perform. Women, who constituted only three-tenths of the fur niture industry's w orkforce in 1966, are employed prim arily as office and c le r ical workers. The few women employed as salespeople are most likely to sell small accessory items, such as linens or glassware. Men, on the other hand, are employed m ostly in the sale of higher priced furniture and major appliances on which large commissions may be earned. Men’ s earnings exceeded those of women in each region; the differences in pay ranged from 38 cents in the South to 88 cents in the West. Despite the substantial pay advantage of men over women within each region, men in the South earned only 2 cents an hour more than women in the West. Although one-fifth of the men in the South, compared with only one-eighth of the women in the West earned $ 2 .5 0 an hour or m ore; over one-third of the men in the South— twice the proportion of women in the West— earned less than $ 1. 50 an hour. 4 At $ 2 .3 8 an hour, employees in enterprises that had annual sales of be tween $ 5 0 0 ,0 0 0 and $1 million were the highest paid. Employees in enterprises that had less than $ 2 5 0,0 0 0 in sales were the lowest paid at $ 1 .9 9 an hour (table 5). Employees in the other enterprise groups averaged within 14 cents of the highest paid group. The earnings distributions in the three larger enterprise groups were fairly sim ilar. In the smallest enterprise group, however, there was a greater con centration of employees at the lower end of the scale and a smaller concentration at the upper end than in any of the three other enterprise groupings. In three of the regions the highest paid employees w e r e found in the $ 5 0 0,0 0 0 to $1 million volume enterprises, but in the Northeast the highest paid were in the $ 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 to $ 5 0 0,0 0 0 volume enterprises. Employees in establishments that had $ 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 or more in annual sales, at $ 2 .3 4 an hour, earned 25 cents an hour more than those in establishments that had sales of $ 150,000 to $ 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 , and 40 cents an hour more than those in establishments that had less than $ 150, 000 in sales (table 6). The proportions of employees earning less than $ 1 .3 0 an hour ranged from one-tenth in the largest volume establishments to one-fourth in the sm allest. On the other hand, the proportions earnings $2 or more an hour ranged from one-third in the sm allest volume establishment to more than one-half in the largest. In each region as well as in metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas this general pattern was followed. Employees in establishments generally subject to the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards A c t1 earned $ 2 .3 7 an hour— 24 cents an hour more than those in establishments which were not subject to the act. ___________ Percent of employees with hourly earnings o f - Item Establishments: Subject to FLSA------------------ -------Not subject to FLSA------------ ------- Average hourly earnings $ 2 .3 7 2. 13 Under $1. 15 1. 1 8 .0 Under $ 1 .2 5 1 .4 9 .4 Under $ 1 .3 0 10. 7 1 7 .6 Under $ 1 .5 0 22. 2 25. 1 Under $2. 00 Under $2. 50 5 0 .9 5 7 .0 6 9 .3 7 3 .3 Differences in the earnings distributions were generally sm all. The largest was in the proportion paid less than $ 1 .2 5 an hour— 1 percent in establishments subject to FLSA and 9 percent in establishments that were not subject to the act. Weekly Hours of Work Furniture, h o m e furnishings, and household appliance store worked an average of 38.6 hours during the survey week. One-fifth ployees worked part time (less than 35 hours). One-third worked week, two-fifths worked more than 40 hours, and one-half of those employees of the em a 40-hour worked 48 At the time of the survey a minimum wage of $ 1 .2 5 an hour was generally required to be paid in estab lishments that had $ 2 50 ,0 00 or more in annual sales and were part of enterprises with $1 million or more in annual sales. 5 hours or more (table 7). The sale of the variety of merchandise used to fur nish and equip the home requires experience and skill. As a result, the fur niture industry employs a smaller proportion of part-time workers and a greater proportion of those who work longer hours (48 or more) than most of the other industries which are a part of retail trade. The average workweek was between 36 and 38 hours in every region except the South, where it was 42. 1 hours (table 7). The longer workweek in the South is attributable to the comparatively high proportion (55 percent) of employees who worked over 40 hours a week and the low proportion who worked part time (12 percent). Even in the region with the next longest workweek (the West) only one-third of the employees worked over 40 hours a week, while one-fifth worked part time. Nonmetropolitan area employees worked 4 0 .4 hours a week— 2 .4 hours longer than those in metropolitan areas (table 8). Twenty-three percent of the employees in metropolitan areas compared with 18 percent of those in nonmet ropolitan areas worked part time, and 19 and 27 percent, respectively, worked 48 hours a week or m ore. A 40-hour week prevailed for one-third of the em ployees in metropolitan areas and one-fourth of those in nonmetropolitan areas. Longer workweeks for nonmetropolitan area employees were recorded for all regions except the West, where employees in metropolitan areas worked 1.2 hours longer. Men worked 40. 2 hours a week— 5. 5 hours longer than women (table 9). Three-tenths of the women, compared with one-sixth of the men, worked part time. Women accounted for three-tenths of the work force but two-fifths of those employees working fewer than 35 hours a week. Three-tenths of the men and two-fifths of the women worked a 4 0 -hour week, but three-tenths of the men— five times the proportion of women worked 48 hours a week or m ore. Although men accounted for 7 out of 10 employees in furniture stores they ac counted for 9 out of 10 of those working 48 hours a week or more. There appeared to be little relationship between the length of the average workweek and enterprise sales volume. For example, those employees in the largest volume enterprise averaged 38. 1 hours during the week, and those in the sm allest class averaged 37 .4 hours (table 10). In comparison, the average workweek in the two groups that had medium sales was slightly higher at 40. 6 and 39.7 hours. The average workweek was 39. 6 hours in establishments that had at least $ 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 in annual sales, 39.1 hours in establishments that had $ 150,000 to $ 2 5 0 ,0 0 0 in sales, and 36 hours in establishments that had less than $ 150,000 in sales (table 11). The primary differences in the distributions were that the proportions who worked part time were greater in the lowest volume establish ment groups, and the proportions who worked over 40 hours was smaller in the higher volume establishments than in the other groups. Employees in establishments generally subject to the maximum hours pro vision of the Fair Labor Standards Act worked 3 8 .4 hours a week— 0.5 of an hour less than those in establishments which were not subject to the act. Twofifths of the employees in stores not subject to FLSA worked over 40 hours a 6 week, and the proportion working these hours in stores subject to the act was not much sm aller, one-third. The relatively l a r g e proportion working over 40 hours in subject establishments suggests the limited influence of the maximum hours provision of the FLSA in this industry where many employees are paid on a commission basis and may be exempt from the provision. Hours and Earnings— Lines of Business Three-fifths of the Nation’s retail furniture and appliance industry workers were employed in furniture, home furnishings, and equipment stores. At $ 2 .2 1 an hour, average earnings in these stores were 2 cents higher than the all industry average (table 16). Employees in household appliance stores, who made up one-fifth of the work force, averaged $ 2 .1 5 an hour (table 30). The dis tribution of individual earnings in each of these lines of business closely approxi mated that in the major group. Average weekly hours were 38 .4 in furniture and equipment stores and 4 0 .1 in appliance stores. Although 1.7 hours separated the average workweeks, the alignment of employees along the hours scale in each line was similar to that noted for the overall industry (tables 21 and 35). Hourly Earnings and Weekly Hours Retail furniture and appliance store employees were grouped by their aver age hourly earnings and within each earnings group distributed by their weekly hours of work (table 12). An examination of the data tabulated in this manner revealed that among the lower paid employees (those paid less than $ 1 .3 5 an hour) part-time work was more common than a standard workweek (40 to 42 hours inclusive), and, to an even greater extent, than a long workweek (48 hours or more). Among the higher paid employees a standard workweek was prevalent; parttime work was less common than a long workweek. For example, 44 percent of those employees paid $ 3 an hour or more worked a standard week compared with one-eighth who worked part time and one-fourth who worked long hours.

As shown by the following tabulation, employees who worked a 40-hour week, at $ 2 .3 4 an hour, held a decided wage advantage over the rest of the employees.

For example, about one-third of the part-time employees earned less than $ 1. 35 an hour, but no more than one-sixth of the other employees had such earnings. Similarly, only one-tenth of the part-time employees earned as much as $ 2 an hour; among the other employees the proportion was at least 50 percent greater and, in the case of the 40-hour group, more than twice as great. When earnings and hours data were tabulated for the two lines of business the relationship that developed followed the patterns noted previously. Average Weekly Earnings Employees at retail furniture and appliance stores averaged $ 8 4 .5 1 a week at straight-time rates in June 1966 (table 14). Weekly earnings ranged from a low of $ 1 6 .1 5 for those employees working fewer than 15 hours to $ 1 1 2 .6 0 for those working 48 hours or more. Average weekly earnings are dependent upon two variables: Average hourly earnings and the number of hours worked during the week. Average weekly earnings, nevertheless were found to vary directly with the number of hours worked. Some employees, despite lower average hourly earnings, earned more in a week than did others who worked fewer hours but at a higher rate of pay. 8 Among the regions, average weekly earnings ranged from South to $ 9 5 .6 6 in the West. The earnings differential between each of the other regions was narrower on a weekly than on an reflecting the effect of the longer average workweek in the South wage level there. $ 7 8 .4 0 in the the South and hourly basis, on the weekly Average weekly earnings were $ 8 4 .6 9 in furniture and equipment stores and $ 8 6 .3 6 in appliance stores, both slightly higher than weekly earnings in the major group. Although the length of the workweek in furniture stores was nearly identical to that in the major group (38.4 and 38.6 hours) the hourly rate of pay was 2 cents higher. On the other hand, the workweek in household appliance stores was 1.7 hours longer than in all furniture and appliance stores. The difference was sufficient to overcome the depressing effect on the weekly wage level of an hourly pay level that was 4 cents below that in the major group. Wage Changes The average pay level for all nonsupervisory employees in retail furniture stores advanced by 9 cents an hour (from $2. 0), or by 4 .3 percent since June 1965, the date of the Bureau's last comprehensive study of such stores. Changes were evident throughout the pay scale, but their overall magnitude was somewhat greater at the lower than the upp^r end. An examination of the earnings for the middle half of the work force shows that an increase in the top earnings limit for the lowest paid fourth of the employees was accompanied by a decrease of 6 cents in the differential between them and the highest paid fourth. Earnings advanced in each region by at lea.st 8 cents an hour, but the greatest advance occurred in the Northeast, 13 cents an hour. The greatest gains among the lowest paid employees occurred in the South, where the pro portion paid less than $ 1 . 2 5 an hour decreased by 6 percentage points (from 22 percent). On the other hand, the greatest gains among the higher paid em ployees were found in the Northeast, where the proportion paid $ 2 . 5 0 an hour or more increased 7 points (from 27 percent).

Changes in the distribution of wages did not differ substantially between the two areas. Average hourly earnings advanced 12 cents an hour for men and 7 cents an hour for women. Men registered the greatest gain at the upper pay levels, whereas the most noticeable advances for women were in the lower and middle levels. The proportion of women paid less than $ 1 . 5 0 an hour, for example, decreased 6 percentage points. The proportion for men decreased 2 points. On the other hand, the proportion of men paid at least $ 2 . 5 0 an hour increased 5 points. The proportion of women at this level increased only 1 point.

(96 percent) in the sector subject to the provisions of the paid at least $ 1 . 2 5 an hour in June 1965, 3 months prior of the minimum. In this industry, therefore, the raising had only a token effect on the distribution of employees In the sector that was not subject to the act the proportion paid less than $ 1 . 2 5 an hour dropped by 3 percentage points, about the same as the decline in the subject sector. On the other hand, the proportion paid at least $ 2 . 5 0 an hour increased by 4 percentage points, and in the subject sector there was a small decline in the proportion with such earnings. Average earnings of employees in furniture, home furnishings, and equip ment stores advanced by 11 cents an hour, from $2. 10 in 1965, and earnings in household appliances advanced by 6 cents, from $2. 09. As shown in the following tabulations, changes in the level and distribution of earnings in each of these lines resembled those previously noted in the entire industry.

This decline partially reflects a movement away from workweeks in excess of 40 hours and towards more part-time employment. However, the movement towards a shorter workweek was not universal, as is seen in the small increase in the proportion who worked at least 48 hours a week. The average workweek was shorter by at least 0. 1 of an hour in every region but the South, where it lengthened by 0.6 of an hour. As shown in the following tabulation, in every region there was at least a slight decline in the proportion who worked over 40 hours a week and a corresponding increase in the proportion who worked part time. In the South, however, these changes were minute, and an increase from 26 to 28 percent in the proportion who worked 48 hours a week or more served to raise the average workweek. In metropolitan areas the average workweek declined by 0 .4 of an hour; in nonmetropolitan areas it advanced by 0. 1 of an hour. Men and women both worked a shorter week, by 0 .2 and 0 .5 of an hour, respectively. Employees in establishments generally subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act worked 0. 7 of an hour a week less in 1966 than in 1965. but the average workweek for other employees lengthened by 0.2 of an hour. In both sectors, the distribution changes in about the same manner as in the entire industry. However, in the sector affected by FLSA the increase in weekly hours of 48 or more took place almost entirely at 48 hours; in the sector not subject to the act it was mostly at the longer hours. 12 _____ :____________ Proportion o f employees working—_________________ Average weekly hours Under 35 hours Over 40 hours 40 hours 48 hours or more Item 1965 1966 1965 1966 1965 1966 1965 1966 1965 1966 United States------------------------ 3 8 .9 3 8 .6 19 .3 2 1 .5 3 1 .2 3 1 .9 4 2 .2 3 8 .1 2 0 .2 2 1 .1 Northeast-------------------------------South-------------------------------------North Central-----------------------West---------------------------------------- 3 7 .3 4 1 .5 3 7 .9 3 8 .4 3 6 .0 4 2 .1 3 7 .8 3 8 .0 2 2 .3 1 1 .7 2 3 .9 2 0 .6 2 7 .4 1 2 .0 2 5 .5 2 2 .3 3 4 .3 2 7 .1 2 7 .9 3 7 .2 3 4 .8 2 7 .9 2 9 .6 3 6 .7 3 2 .9 5 5 .8 4 1 .0 3 5 .8 2 6 .8 5 5 .2 3 8 .6 3 2 .9 1 4 .6 2 5 .6 1 9 .9 1 9 .9 1 5 .7 2 8 .0 2 0 .9 1 8 .6 Metropolitan areas----------------Nonmetropolitan areas--------- 3 8 .4 4 0 .3 3 8 .0 4 0 .4 2 0 .2 16 .3 2 2 .6 1 8 .0 3 3 .7 2 3 .0 3 4 .8 2 3 .3 3 8 .1 5 5 .8 3 4 .5 5 2 .8 1 7 .8 2 8 .1 1 9 .0 2 7 .4 M en---------------------------------------W o m en ---------------------------------- 4 0 .4 3 5 .2 4 0 .2 3 4 .7 1 6 .0 2 7 .4 1 7 .7 3 0 .3 2 8 .6 3 7 .8 2 8 .9 3 8 .8 5 1 .2 20 .1 4 8 .3 1 7 .8 2 6 .3 5 .1 2 7 .6 6 .0 Establishments: Subject to FLSA ---------------Not subject to F L S A --------- 3 9 .1 3 8 .8 38.4 17. 2 19.9 19.9 . 2 35 .1 3 0 .2 3 2 .5 3 0 .4 3 7 .8 4 3 .0 3 6 .5 4 1 .9 1 4 .0 2 1 .6 1 7 .2 2 5 .2 3 9 .0 Between surveys, the average workweek in furniture stores was shortened by 0. 6 of an hour and that in household appliance stores was lengthened by 0. 3 of an hour. Except for a lone exception in household appliance stores the changes in the distribution of employees along the hours scale resembled those noted for the industry as a whole. In household appliance stores, the proportion of employees who worked a 40-hour week declined, whereas in the major group, and the other line of business, it increased. However, an increase in the pro portion who worked 48 hours or more mitigated the effect of this decline and resulted in the increase in the number of weekly hours.

The increase in average hourly earnings is not reflected fully in increased weekly earnings because of the mitigating effect of the decrease in weekly hours. While hourly earnings increased 4. 3 percent, weekly earnings increased 3. 7 percent. On a regional basis, weekly earnings increased by amounts ranging from $ 1 . 8 2 in the Northeast to $ 4 . 4 2 in the South. For employees in the South, a 4.5-percen t increase in hourly earnings, and an increase of 0 .6 of an hour in the workweek combined to provide a 6 -percent increase in weekly earnings, largest among the four regions. In the North Central region nearly all of the increase in average hourly earnings is reflected in the increase in weekly earn ings, as a result of relatively little change in the workweek. In the Northeast and West, at least one-third of the increase in hourly earnings was not reflected in weekly earnings because of the decrease in the number of hours worked during the week.

Earnings of employees on long workweeks increased 18 cents. Changes in the distribution among the three groups were characterized by a decline in the proportion in the middle and upper pay levels.

Changes in the distribution of earnings were greater toward the lower than the upper end of the pay scale. The proportion paid less than $1. 25 an hour, for example, declined from 35 to 8 percent, and the proportion paid at least $ 2 . 5 0 an hour increased from 11 to 29 percent. Earnings advanced by 52 cents an hour in both the South and North Central regions, by 61 cents an hour in the Northeast and 66 cents an hour in the West. The South oresented the sharpest changes at the lower end of the pay scale and 2 See Employee Earnings in Retail Trade, October 1956, BLS Bulletin 1220-6; Employee Earnings in Retail Furniture, Home Furnishings, and Household Appliance Stores, Tune 1961 and Tune 1962, BLS Bulletins 1338-6 and 1380-6; Employee Earnings and Hours in Retail Furniture, Home Furnishings, and Household Appliance Stores, June 1965, BLS Bulletin 1501-6. 15 the Northeast, at the upper end. The proportion of southern employees paid less than $ 1 . 2 5 an hour declined from one-half to about one-sixth. Neverthe less, the South, which employed 42 percent of the employees paid less than $ 1 . 2 5 an hour in 1956, accounted for 54 percent with such earnings in 1966. In the Northeast the proportion paid at least $ 2 . 5 0 an hour advanced from 10 to 34 percent during the 10-year span. The Northeast accounted for one-fourth of such employees in 1956 and three-tenths in 1966.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey Scope of Survey This bulletin relates to those retail establishments which were classified, according to the 1957 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, as part of the furniture, home furnishings, and household appliances major industry group (SIC 57). Stores within this group were further identified as furniture, home furnishings, and equipment stores (SIC 571) and household appliance stores (SIC 572). The major group includes retail stores selling goods used for furnishing the home, such as furniture, floor covering, draperies, glass, chinaware, lamps, m irrors, and Venetian blinds, as well as domestic stoves, refrig erators, radio and television sets, musical instruments, and musical supplies. Establish ments selling electrical and gas appliances are included in this group only if the major part of their sales consist of articles for home use. Furniture, home furnishings, and equipment stores are engaged primarily in the retail sale of household furniture as well as home furnishings, major appliances, and floor coverings. Secondhand furniture dealers are classified under miscellaneous retail stores (SIC 59). Household appliance stores are engaged primarily in the retail sale of electric and gas refrigerators, stoves, and other household appliances, such as electric irons, percolators, hot plates, vacuum cleaners, and radio and television sets. 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 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 increased with employment size of the unit. The following tabulation shows the number of units included in the sample of the furniture, home furnishings, and household appliances group, and in the furniture, home furnishings, and equipment stores and household appliance stores for which separate data are published: N um ber o f units Kind o f business Furniture, hom e furnishings, and household, appliances group Furniture, hom e furnishings, and equipm ent s to r e s ----------H ousehold ap p lia n ce s t o r e s -------------------------------------------------- 1, 984 1, 195 483 Establishment samples were obtained from three different sources: (1) State unem ployment insurance listings furnished employer reporting units that have 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 conjunction with its Monthly Survey of Retail Sales covered single-unit retail stores having 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 that have fewer than four employees. 67 68 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 (BLS). The sm allest units were visited by the Bureau of the Census enumerators acting as agents for the BLS. Personal visits also were 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 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 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 sim ilar 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 sim ilar 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 areas. All estimated totals derived from the weighting process were further adjusted to the employment levels for June 1966, as reported in the BLS 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 especially for purposes of this survey. Current regional estimates, which could not be prepared 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 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 sam ples, 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 sm all. 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 fu ll-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. 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. 69 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 earnings and special sales bonuses, such as "P .M . 's n 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. 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.
