This bulletin presents estim ates of employment,
average hourly and weekly earnings, and weekly hours
of work of nonsupervisory em ployees in retail trade. The
survey was part of a broad program of studies initiated
by the U. S. Department of Labor for continuing appraisal
of Federal m inim um -wage legislation. The June 1961 find­
ings w ill be used as a basis for m easuring changes in em ­
ployment, earnings, and hours of work resulting from
amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which b e­
came effective in September 1961,
The statistics were obtained from a nationwide
survey of retail trade (excluding eating and drinking places)
conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for a June 1961
payroll period. Data are provided separately for men and
women; the Northeast, South, North Central, and West
regions of the United States; m etropolitan and nonm etropol­
itan areas; and for retail enterprises and establishm ents
by their annual volume of sales. Appendix A provides
technical information on the scope and method of the su r­
vey, as w ell as definitions of term s. A copy of the ques­
tionnaire used in the survey is shown in appendix B.
Comprehensive statistical data for each of the
m ajor retail groups com prising retail trade and for s e ­
lected lines of retail business are available in individual
bulletins. A listing of these bulletins and an order form
appear on the last page of this bulletin.
The Wage and Hour and Public Contracts D ivisions
participated in the planning of the survey and provided the
n ecessary funds. The bulletin was prepared in the Bureau's
D ivision of Wages and Industrial Relations under the gen­
eral supervision of Herbert Schaffer. Norman J. Samuels
directed the survey and Samuel F. Cohen and Theodore J.
Golonka developed the statistical and sampling procedures.

Employee Earnings in Retail Trade, 1961

Sum m ary
The B ureau conducted a nationw ide su rvey in reta il trade (except eating
and drinking p laces) for a June 1961 p ayroll p eriod to provide the b a sis for e s ­
tim ating earnings and hours of work for m ore than 6 m illio n n on su p ervisory e m ­
p lo y ees. This bulletin p rovid es com p reh en sive inform ation on the m akeup of the
o v era ll wage stru ctu re in reta il trade.
N on su p ervisory em p loyees averaged $ 1 .6 2 an hour, at stra ig h t-tim e
ra tes, in June 1961, an in c r e a se of 21 cents an hour sin ce the la st com p reh en sive
re ta il trade su rvey in O ctober 1956. 1 F ourteen p ercen t of the w ork ers earned
le s s than $1 an hour, 37 p ercen t earned le s s than $ 1 .2 5 , and 23 p ercen t earned
at le a st $ 2 an hour.
Among four broad region s in the United S ta tes, average earnings ranged
from $ 1 .3 2 an hour in the South to $ 2 .0 1 in the W est. W orkers em ployed in
m etrop olitan areas averaged $ 1 .7 3 an hour com pared with $ 1 .3 9 for th ose in
nonm etropolitan a r e a s. Men averaged $ 1 .8 0 , or 48 cents an hour m ore than
w om en. R etail e n terp rises with annual sa le s of at le a st $1 m illio n paid an a v ­
erage of $ 1 .7 4 an hour, com pared with $ 1 .5 1 in en terp rises with a low er sa le s
volum e. E arnings w ere h igher in esta b lish m en ts with annual sa le s of $250, 000 or
m ore than in those with sa le s of le s s than $250, 000 in both en terp rise s a le s siz e c la s s e s . Of the 844,400 reta il em p loyees in the country earning le s s than
$1 an hour, 64 p ercen t w ere located in the South, 53 p ercen t w orked in non­
m etrop olitan a rea s, 56 p ercen t w ere w om en, and 47 p ercen t w ere em ployed in
estab lish m en ts with annual sa le s of le s s than $250, 000 which w ere part of en ­
te r p r ise s with annual sa le s of le s s than $1 m illio n .
M ore than a fourth of the n on su p ervisory em p loyees in reta il trade
worked le s s than 35 hours a w eek, about the sam e proportion worked 40 hours
a w eek, and alm ost th ree-ten th s w orked in e x c e ss of 44 hours a week during
the su rvey period. A verage w eekly earnings varied from $11. 67 for those w ork ­
ing le s s than 15 hours to $ 8 5 .0 6 for those w orking exactly 44 hours a w eek.
The su rvey a lso provided inform ation sep ara tely for the 7 m ajor kinds
of r e ta il activity which com p rise reta il trade (excep t eating and drinking p la ces),
as w ell as for 11 lin es of reta il b u sin ess. 2 The le v e l of earnings in gen eral
m erch an d ise, apparel, and m iscella n eo u s reta il sto res fe ll below the n ation­
wide reta il average, w hile earnings in furniture, hom e fu rn ish in gs, and h o u se­
hold ap p lian ces, building m a te r ia ls, and autom otive d ea lers and ga solin e s e r v ­
ic e station s exceeded the average. Among the lin es of b u sin ess, average hourly
earnings ranged from $ 1 .0 8 in lim ited p rice v a riety sto res to $ 2 .0 4 at m otor
v eh icle d e a le r s.

C h a ra cteristics of R etail Trade
R etail esta b lish m en ts provide the m eans for distributing the goods p ro ­
duced for p erso n a l, household, and farm consum ption. The m ajor ou tlet for the
m ovem ent of r e ta il m erch an d ise is through sto r e s, but m a il-o rd er h o u ses, d irect
sellin g organ iza tion s, and autom atic vending m achines also p erform the sam e
function. R etail esta b lish m en ts range in siz e from in dividually operated sto res
to large departm ent sto r e s. A ccording to the 1958 C ensus of B u sin e ss, n early
478, 000 r e ta il esta b lish m en ts (excluding eating and drinking p la ces) had few er than
4 paid em p lo y ees, com pared w ith about 122, 000 esta b lish m en ts w ith 10 or m ore
paid em p lo y ees. The total volum e of sa le s in la r g e -s iz e esta b lish m en ts, how ever,
w as su b stan tially grea ter than in the sm a ll-s iz e esta b lish m en ts. In term s of
num ber of o u tlets, the reta il industry is dom inated by sin gle unit fir m s, w hich
accounted for alm ost n in e-ten th s of the total num ber of esta b lish m en ts (exclu d ­
ing eating and drinking p la ces) and for n early tw o-th ird s of the total s a le s.
B ecau se the r e ta il industry m ust serv e the needs of the en tire popula­
tion, reta il a ctiv ity extends to even the sm a lle st rural com m unity. Of the m ore
than 6 m illio n n on su p ervisory em p loyees included in the June 1961 study, about
1.8 m illio n , or 30 p ercen t, w ere em ployed outside m etrop olitan a rea s. Tw entysix p ercen t of the n on su p ervisory em p loyees w ere located in the N orth east, 29 p e r ­
cent in the South, 30 p ercen t in the North C entral region, and 15 p ercen t w ere
in the W est.
R etail trade is com p rised of seven m ajor industry groups, excluding
eating and drinking p la c e s. G eneral m erch an d ise sto res accounted for the la r g ­
e st proportion of em p loyees included in the nationw ide su rvey (23 p ercen t). This
group included departm ent sto res w hich had 13 p ercen t of the total em ploym ent,
and lim ited p rice va riety sto res w hich had 5 p ercen t. The food group w as the
second la r g e st and included g ro cery sto res which em ployed 17 p ercen t of the
n on su p ervisory w o rk ers. L isted below are the proportions of em p loyees in the
m ajor reta il groups and lin es of b u sin ess studied sep ara tely.

The various lin e s of retail b u sin ess differ in their labor force req u ire­
m en ts, m ethod of w age paym ent, product lin e s, p rofit m arg in s, and other ch a r­
a c te r is tic s . W om en, for exam p le, rep resen ted the m ajority of w ork ers in lim ­

departm ent sto r e s, w hile m en dom inated em ploym ent in the other lin es of b u sin ess
for w hich data are shown sep a ra tely . The m ajority of w ork ers in each line of
b u sin ess w ere located in m etropolitan a rea s, but the proportions ranged from
60 p ercen t for m otor v eh icle d ealers to 85 p ercen t for departm ent sto res (table 1).
E n terp rises w ith g r o ss annual sa le s of $ 1 m illio n or m ore em ployed all but
5 p ercen t of the w ork ers in departm ent sto r e s, and a m ajority in lim ited p rice
v a riety s to r e s , g ro cery s to r e s, and at m otor v eh icle d ea lers.
O ccupational req u irem en ts varied w ithin as w ell as among b u sin ess lin e s.
V irtu ally all reta il sto res em ploy sa lesm en , but sm a ller sto res m ay have only
a few em p loyees to handle the sellin g , buying, recordk eep in g, cred it, a d v ertis­
ing, and other functions. In a large sto re, w ork is d ep artm entalized so that e m ­
p lo yees m ay sp e c ia liz e in only one of these reta il functions. C ertain n on sellin g
occupations require sp ecia l s k ills , and are p ecu liar to certain lin es of b u sin ess,
such as p h arm acists in drug s to r e s, ta ilo rs and s e a m str e sse s in clothing sto r e s,
m eatcu tters in g ro cery s to r e s, and jew elers and w atch rep airm en in jew elry
sto r e s. Som e sa le s p osition s require lim ited training, w hile oth ers dem and a
thorough knowledge of the m erch an d ise, and exp erien ce in handling cu sto m ers.
Wage paym ents on a tim e b a sis as w ell as in the form of co m m issio n s
and bonuses are com m on in reta il trad e. The exten sive use of the la tter m ethod
accounts, in part, for the wide range of earnings found in reta il trad e.
S easonal fluctuations in consum er dem and produce changes in em p lo y­
m ent le v e ls . S ales for m any lin es of b u sin ess in crea se sh arp ly during certain
p erio d s, such as C h ristm as and E a ster, creatin g a need for a supplem entary

tion in cu stom er volum e as w ell as for those sto res w hich are open long hours
to the public.
A ll of th ese factors affect the le v e ls and distrib u tion s of earnings found
in reta il trad e. They are, how ever, in terrela ted and the extent to w hich any
one of th ese factors in flu en ces w ages has not been esta b lish ed .
A verage H ourly E arnings— A ll N on su p ervisory E m p loyees
N o n su p ervisory em p loyees in reta il esta b lish m en ts in the United States
averaged $ 1 .6 2 an hour, ex clu siv e of prem ium pay for ov ertim e w ork, in June
1961. E arnings for the 6. 1 m illio n w ork ers rep resen ted by the su rvey data w ere
w id ely distributed; pay for n in e-ten th s of the em p loyees ranged from 75 cents to
$ 3 an hour; and for the m iddle half of the w ork ers from $ 1. 07 to $ 1.9 3 an hour
(table 2). H ourly earnings for half the w ork ers w ere below $ 1 .4 0 . Significant
c lu ste r s of w ork ers w ere found w ithin the n arrow er lim its of two 5-cen t wage

A verage hourly earnings when com puted sep a ra tely for four geographic

the region al av erages r e fle c t the variation in the distrib u tion s of em ployee ea rn ­
in g s. In the South, for exam p le, 31 p ercen t of the w ork ers earned le s s than $ 1
an hour, and 1Z p ercen t $ 2 or m ore. In the W est, on the other hand, all but
3 p ercen t earned at le a st $1 an hour and 40 p ercen t earned $ 2 or m o re. D if­
feren ces betw een the N orth east and N orth C entral region s w ere confined, for the
m ost part, to the low er pay le v e ls . T hree p ercen t of the n on su p ervisory e m ­
p lo y ees in the N orth east com pared w ith 12 p ercen t of those in the North C entral
region earned le s s than $ 1, w h ereas 26 and 23 p ercen t, re sp e c tiv e ly , earned
$ 2 or m ore an hour.
A verage H ourly E arnings— Men and W omen
The earnings of m en in reta il trade w ere su b stan tially higher than those
of w om en. A verage hourly earnings of m en w ere $ 1 .8 0 , 48 cen ts an hour above
the average for w om en (tables 3 and 4). H alf of the m ore than 3 .6 m illio n m en
included in the su rvey earned $ 1 .6 0 or m ore and a third earned at le a st $2 an
hour. By con trast, alm ost sim ila r proportions of the w om en earned $ 1 .2 5 or
m ore and $ 1 .4 0 or m ore an hour, r esp ectiv ely . E arnings below $1 w ere paid
to alm ost a fifth of the alm ost 2. 5 m illio n w om en in the reta il labor fo r c e . This
w as about tw ice the proportion for m en. W omen constituted 56 p ercen t of the
n on su p ervisory em p lo yees in the country’ s reta il industry who earned le s s than
$ 1 an hour in June 1961.
The w age d ifferen tial betw een m en and w om en varied d irectly with the
region al le v e l of earn in gs. Men averaged 32 cents an hour m ore than w om en
in the region (South) w here average earnings w ere the lo w est and 65 cen ts an
hour m ore in the region (W est) w here the h ig h est pay w as record ed . Wage d if­
feren tia ls w ere 55 and 5 3 cen ts in the N orth east and North C entral region s,
r e sp e c tiv e ly .
Although the earnings of m en w ere higher than those of w om en in each
of the reg io n s, average earnings of $ 1 .5 9 for w om en in the W est w ere 16 cents
an hour m ore than those for m en in the South. About a fourth of the w om en in
the W est had earnings of le s s than $ 1 .2 5 , com pared w ith n early half of the m en
in the South. A lm ost the sam e proportions (le ss than a fifth) of m en in the South
and w om en in the W est earned $ 2 or m ore an hour.
A verage earnings of m en varied m ore w id ely am ong the region s than
those of w om en. The d ifferen ce betw een the South and W est in m en ’ s earnings
w as 57 p ercen t, com pared w ith 43 p ercen t for w om en. Men earned 36 p ercen t
m ore, on the average, in the N orth east than in the South and w om en averaged
26 p ercen t m ore; and in the N orth C entral region , 29 and 19 p ercen t m o re, r e ­
sp ectiv ely , than in the South.
A verage H ourly E arnings—-M etropolitan and N onm etropolitan A reas
C om m unity s iz e appeared to be one of the factors w hich influenced the
le v e l and distrib u tion of earnings in reta il trad e. In m etrop olitan areas in the
United S tates, w here 7 out of e v er y 10 reta il w ork ers w ere em ployed at the tim e
of the su rvey, average earn ings of $ 1 .7 3 w ere 34 cents an hour above those in
nonm etropolitan areas (tables 5 and 6). W orkers in the le s s urbanized areas
accounted for 53 p ercen t of the N ation's reta il em p loyees earning le s s than $ 1
and for 62 p ercen t earning le s s than 75 cents an hour.
The sam e proportion of w ork ers in m etrop olitan and nonm etropolitan
areas earned in the range of $1 to $2 an hour. The proportion of w ork ers earn ­
ing le s s than $ 1 , how ever, w as 9 p ercen t in m etrop olitan area s and 25 p ercen t
in nonm etropolitan area s; and, co n v ersely , those earning $2 or m ore an hour
w as 28 p ercen t in the form er and 14 p ercen t in the latter a rea s.

The length of the w orkw eek for reta il em p loyees varied w id ely. In

The w orkw eek varied sign ifican tly for em p loyees in d ifferen t en terp rise

A verage w eekly earnings of em p loyees who w orked le s s than 35 hours
during the sele c te d w eek ranged from $19. 17 in va riety sto r e s to $37. 95 at m otor
v eh icle d e a le r s. E m p loyees at th ese hours averaged le s s than $30 a w eek in all
but two of the lin es of b u sin ess shown sep ara tely. B ased on a 40-h our w eek,
va riety sto re em p loyees earned $44. 84 on the av erag e, and m otor v eh icle em ­
p lo y e e s, $99. 75. In each of the b u sin ess lin e s, w eekly earnings of em p loyees
who w orked 40 hours w ere roughly m ore than double (and n early trip le in gro cery
sto r e s), the w eekly earnings of those em p loyees who w orked le s s than 35 hours.
W eekly earnings of the lo w est and h igh est paid em p loyees who w orked in e x c e ss
of 44 hours ranged from $ 5 6 .2 1 to $93. 82, resp ectiv ely . The d ifferen ce in a v er­
age w eekly earnings of em p loyees who w orked 40 hours and those who w orked
m ore than 44 hours did not exceed 15 p ercen t except in one of the b u sin ess lin es
studied. In fact, those em ployed on a 40-h our w eek averaged about the sam e
or m ore than those who w orked over 44 hours a w eek for m otor v eh icle d ea lers,

The le v e l of average w eekly earnings for the variou s lin es of b u sin ess
appeared to be d irectly related both to the em ploym ent of p a rt-tim e em p loyees
and of those w orking long h ou rs. M otor v eh icle d e a le r s, for exam p le, w here

It is in terestin g to note that when average w eek ly earnings in the v a r i­

in g s, but when em p loyees w orking a 40-hour w eek w ere com pared with em p loyees
on the sam e schedule in the other lin es of b u sin ess, earnings in g ro cery sto res

5. EARNINGS AND HOURS OF WORK OF NONSUPERVISORY EMPLOYEES:

This study is designed to provide information on hourly earnings and weekly hours of work for both male and
female nonsupervisory employees and working supervisors for a payroll period ending nearest June 15, 1961.
The number of employees in each establishment for which earnings and hours data are reported should corre­
spond with the number of nonsupervisory employees shown in item 3(c) on page 1. The information requested
should be reported separately for each establishment and the establishment identified. If the establishment is
a Department, Drug, or Variety Store and employs food counter, cafeteria, or restaurant workers, information for
such workers should be entered only on the blue supplement provided
Report earnings and hours separately for each employee unless these data are identical for two or more em­
ployees. Do not report aggregate earnings and hours for several workers. For convenience of reporting for
employees paid on other than an hourly basis, columns 5 through 8 are provided. Data will not, however, be
published separately by various methods of pay. Instructions and examples for reporting the necessary data in
each column are listed below.
INSTRUCTIONS

Column (1)— Indicate

whether the employee is male (M) or female (F).

Complete
columns 1, 2, Column (2)— Use a separate line for each employee and enter " 1 ,” unless two or more employees of the same
sex work the same number of hours during the selected week, and receive identical’ hourly or salary rates
and 3 for all
nonsupervisory (see example I). Data are to be reported individually for each employee whose earnings are based entirely
or in part on commissions or bonuses (see examples 3> 4, and 5).

basis.
Column

(7)— Enter the total commission and/or bonus earnings, including "PM’ s,* "Stilus," or any special
bonuses based on sales paid quarterly or oftener by the store. These earnings are to be reported for the
commission or bonus period ending nearest June 15, 1961. If the commissions earned during that pay per­
iod are not representative of normal commission earnings, a longer period may be used. If store employees
receive both commission and bonus payments for an identical period of time, report the combined figure
(see example 4). If bonus payments cover a period longer than the commission period, add only the pro­
rated amount of the bonus to the commission earnings that correspond to the commission period (see
example 5). For employees paid an hourly rate or salary in addition to commissions or bonuses, it is also
necessary to complete column 4, or columns 5 and 6 (see examples 4 and 5).

Use columns 7
and 8 to report
earnings of non­
supervisory
employees
based entirely
or in part on
commissions
and bonuses. Column (8)— Enter

the number of hours worked during the commission or bonus period. (The hours should
refer to the total hours worked during the period and not necessarily only to those hours during which com­
missions or bonuses were earned.)

EXAMPLES

1. Two women each worked 36% hours during the selected week, and each were paid a straight-time hourly rate of $1.05.
2. One man worked 40 hours during the selected week, and received a salary of $125, exclusive of premium pay for overtime,
for 88 hours worked during the salary period (% month).
3. One man worked 32% hours during the selected week and was paid on a straight commission basis, receiving $215.70
for 168 hours.
4. One woman worked 40 hours during the selected week and was paid an hourly rate of $1.25; she also received $35 in com­
missions and $7.50 in uPM*s* for 173.6 hours worked during the commission period (1 month).
5. One man worked 37% hours during the selected week, and was paid a weekly salary of $75; he also earned commissions of
$102 during a 1-month period (162 hours) and $150 in bonuses during a 3-month period. Only % of the bonus, or $50 is
reported so that the bonus period corresponds to the commission period.
