There are also shops which sell only one type of clothing such as women's hosiery or men's neckties. The em ployment of men and women in some of these shops appears to be determined largely by the type of clothing sold. For example, ninetenths of the employees in women's ready-to-wear shops were women, whereas seven-tenths of the employees in men's and boys' clothing shops were men. Companies operating only a single store accounted for more than three-fifths of the employment in men's and boys' clothing shops; on the other hand, two-thirds of shoe store employ ment was in companies with 2 or more stores. These and other variable factors, such as price lines, geographical location, and size of community, are reflected in the wide dispersion of individual earn ings which ranged from less than 50 cents to more than $3 an hour. The U. S. Department of Labor1s Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted a comprehensive study of straight-time earnings of nonsupervisory employees in retail trade (except eating and drinking places) for an October 1956 payroll period. This bulletin provides informa tion for that portion of the study relating to apparel and accessories stores. Other publications relating to this broad study of retail trade are listed on the inside front cover. The apparel and accessories group includes retail stores pri marily engaged in selling clothing, shoes, hats, underwear, and re lated articles for personal wear and adornment. Included are men’ s and boys1 clothing and furnishings stores, women1s ready-to-wear stores, women’s accessory and specialty stores, children's and infants1 wear stores, family clothing stores, etc. A complete definition of this retail trade industry group is contained in the appendix. Separate data are provided in this bulletin for men’ s and boys' clothing stores, women's ready-to-wear stores, and shoe stores. These 3 cate gories of stores accounted for about 70 percent of the nonsupervisory employment in the apparel and accessories group. Nationwide, apparel and accessories stores employed approxi mately 535,000 nonsupervisory employees in October 1956. As a group, these employees averaged $1.32 an hour, excluding overtime pay but including commissions or bonuses (table l). An estimated 52.000 employees, or 10 percent of the total, earned less than 75 cents an hour; 160,000, or 30 percent, under $1; and 305,000, or 57 per cent, under $ 1 .2 5 . About 21,000 employees, or 4 percent of the total, earned $2.50 or more an hour. The largest concentrations in any 5-cent wage interval were: $1 and under $ 1 .0 5 , 12 percent; and $1.25 and under $ 1 .3 0 , 6 percent. As shown in the accompanying tables, the survey provides information on the number of employees at various wage levels between 50 cents and $3 an hour. In recognition of the wide variations that exist in weekly work schedules, distributions of employees by wage intervals are provided by hours worked in a week. In addition, to data for the United States and four broad regions, tabulations are pro vided by community size and number of stores operated by the com pany. Summary information on average weekly earnings is also shown. Substantial variation was noted in the hours worked by indi vidual employees in the mid-October survey week. An estimated 170.000 employees worked less than 35 hours a week. As a group, these employees averaged $ 1 .0 9 an hour. Nearly 200,000 employees (37 percent of the total) worked from 35 to 40 hours a week and aver aged $ 1 .4 0 . An average of $ 1 .2 9 was recorded for approximately 94.000 employees who worked from 41 to 47 hours. Hours of 48 or more were worked by 72,000 employees who averaged $ 1 .3 7 . Apparel and Accessories Stores Earnings of Men and Women Although retail stores in the apparel and accessories group are all engaged in the selling of clothing or related articles for per sonal wear, they differ in many characteristics that affect the level and distribution of wages. For example, the family clothing stores sell clothing for men, women, and children without specializing in any one line, whereas other stores specialize in clothing for men or Women accounted for 68 percent (362,000) of the nonsuper visory employees in the apparel and accessories group and averaged $1.15 an hour. Approximately 12 percent earned less than 75 cents an hour; 36 percent under $1; and 67 percent under $ 1 .2 5 . Com paratively few women (l percent) earned $2.50 or more an hour. About 13 percent of the women had earnings of $ 1 and under $ 1 .0 5 . * Prepared in the Division of Wages and Industrial Relations. NOTE: See appendix, page 69, for definition of terms used in this bulletin. The earnings of the 173,000 men in nonsupervisory jobs were at a considerably higher level than the average for women. Men as (i) 2 a group averaged $ 1 .6 6 an hour. Hourly earnings of less than 75 cents were recorded for 4 percent of the men, 16 percent earned less than $1, and 35 percent earned less than $ 1 .2 5 . Nearly 10 percent of the men earned $ 2.50 or more an hour. About the same proportion of men and women worked on a part-time basis. This and the fact that both men and women em ployees working from 35 to 40 hours had higher levels of hourly earn ings than employees on either shorter or longer work schedules are illustrated in the tabulation below: Men Hours worked in week Percent of total 1 to 3 4 ___________ 35 to 40 _______ _ 41 to 47 _________ 48 or m o r e ______ 30 26 19 24 Women Straighttime average hourly earnings Percent of total 32 43 17 8 $1 .1 9 1.87 1.74 1.63 Straighttime average hourly earnings $ 1 .0 5 1.26 1.05 1.00 Earnings by Region For purposes of this study the 48 States and the District of Columbia were grouped into 4 broad regions. Total nonsupervisory employment in the apparel and accessories group was distrib uted among these as follows: Northeast - 9 States— 181,000; South 16 States and the District of Columbia— 13 8,000; North Central 12 States— 152,000; and West - 11 States— 65,000. Proportions of men 6 percent in the West to 30 portions of women earning the West to 62 percent in the earning less than $ 1 an hour ranged from percent in the South. Similarly, the pro less than $1 ranged from 13 percent in South. Although the South accounted for only 2 6 percent of the total nonsupervisory employment in apparel and accessories stores, it ac counted for 46 percent of the employees earning less than $1 and 69 percent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. By contrast, the West accounted for 12 percent of the total employment in the in dustry, but for only 4 percent of those earning less than $1, and for 2 percent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. Earnings by Community Size Stores and auxiliary units were also classified according to location in metropolitan areas or in counties not included in such areas; in addition, separation was provided between central cities and other than central cities in metropolitan areas and between com munities with 5,000 or more and under 5,000 population in the case of nonmetropolitan area counties (tables 2 and 3). Nationwide, more than three-fourths of the employment was concentrated in metropoli tan areas— mostly in central cities. In the nonmetropolitan counties, employment in communities of 5,000 or more population was more than 3 times that in smaller communities. The relationship between community size and employee hourly earnings for all apparel and accessories stores can be noted from the averages and tide proportions earning less than $1 as shown in the following tabulation: Levels of hourly earnings and the proportions of employees earning less than any given amount, particularly at the lower pay levels, varied among the regions as indicated below: Straighttime average hourly earnings Region Size of community Percent with hourly earnings of less than— $ 0.75 $1 $1.25 __ $ 1.32 10 30 57 Northeast_____ ___ South____________________ North Central _ __ ___ _ West ___ „ - - -------- 1.42 1.10 1.34 1.49 4 26 6 1 22 54 27 11 51 74 57 37 United States _______ Straighttime average hourly earnings Percent earning less than $ 1 an hour Metropolitan areas _________ __ Central cities ________________ Communities other than central cities _______________ $ 1 .3 9 1.40 24 24 1.35 24 Nonmetropolitan areas _______ Communities of 5,000 or m o r e _____________________ Communities of less than 5,000 ---- -------------- 1.08 51 1. 13 43 .92 69 3 Although a generally similar relationship was noted within each region, the differences shown in nationwide comparisons reflect, in part, regional differences in general pay levels and in distributions of employment by community size. Thus, employment in metropolitan areas in the comparatively high-wage Northeast region exceeded that in nonmetropolitan areas in the ratio of 9 to 1; in the South, however, the ratio was 9 to 5. Earnings by Number of Stores Operated Nationwide, 50 percent of the nonsupervisory employment in apparel and accessories stores in October 1956 was accounted for by companies operating single stores. Companies operating 11 or more stores accounted for 2 6 percent of the employment in the group, em ployers operating 2 or 3 stores for 14 percent, and 4- to 10-store firms for 9 percent (table 3). This pattern also held, with only minor variations, within each of the four broad regions. Earnings of employees in single stores were lower than those of employees of companies operating several stores. Nationwide, employees of single stores averaged $1 .2 7 an hour compared with $ 1 .3 9 for employees of companies operating 2 or 3 stores, $ 1.37 for employees of companies operating 4 to 10 stores, and $ 1 .3 6 for em ployees of chains of 11 or more stores. The proportions of em ployees earning less than $1 were: Single stores, 33 percent; 2 or 3 stores, 26 percent; 4 to 10 stores, 27 percent; and 11 or more stores, 27 percent. Part-time employees (those working less than 3 5 hours a week) accounted for a larger proportion of employment in chains operting 4 or more stores than in the companies operating fewer stores. Thirty-five percent of the employees of companies operating 4 to 10 stores and of those operating 11 or more worked less than 35 hours a week as compared with 30 percent in both the single store group and companies of 2 or 3 stores. Men* s and Boys1 Clothing Stores Menfs and boys* clothing stores includes retail establishments which are engaged primarily in selling men’ s and boys* overcoats, topcoats, suits, and work clothing and which may also carry hats, shoes, accessories, and furnishings such as shirts, gloves, hosiery, and underwear. This group also includes retail establishments spe cializing in the sale of men’ s and boys* shirts, hats, underwear, hosiery, gloves, and other furnishings. Nationwide, men*s and boys* clothing stores employed approx imately 86,000 nonsupervisory employees in October 1956. As a group they averaged $ 1 .5 9 an hour, excluding overtime pay but including commissions or bonuses (table 5). An estimated 3,000 employees, or 4 percent of the total, earned less than 75 cents an hour; 14,000, or 17 percent, under $1; and 33,000, or 38 percent, under $ 1 .2 5 . About 7,000 employees, or 8 percent of the total, earned $2.50 or more an hour. The largest concentrations in any 5-cent wage interval were: $1 and under $ 1 .0 5 , 11 percent; and $1.25 and under $ 1 .3 0 , 7 percent. Substantial variation was noted in the hours worked by indi vidual employees in the mid-October survey week. An estimated 24,000 employees worked less than 35 hours a week. As a group, these employees averaged $1.22 an hour. Nearly 25,000 employees (29 percent of the total) worked from 35 to 40 hours a week and aver aged $ 1 .7 1 . An average of $1.63 was recorded for the 17,000 em ployees who worked from 41 to 47 hours. Hours of 48 or more were worked by 20,000 employees who averaged $ 1 .6 0 . Earnings of Men and Women Weekly Earnings Men accounted for 71 percent (61,000) of the nonsupervisory employees in the men's and boys* clothing group, and averaged $1.73 an hour. Three percent of the men earned less than 75 cents an hour; 13 percent under $1; and 30 percent under $ 1 .2 5 . About 7,000 ( l l per cent) earned $2.50 or more an hour. Ten percent of the men had earnings of $ 1 and under $ 1 .0 5 . Nationwide, weekly earnings varied according to hours worked during the payroll period studied as follows: 1 to 34 hours, $19.24; 35 to 40 hours, $54.90; 41 to 47 hours, $56.35; and 48 or more hours, $67.76 (table 4). Tabulations for the regions also indicate a general pattern of progressive increases in weekly earnings for each succeeding hours group. The earnings of women in nonsupervisory jobs were at a considerably lower level than the average for men. Women as a group averaged $1.23 an hour. Hourly earnings of less than 75 cents were recorded for 7 percent of the women; 24 percent earned less than $1; and 55 percent earned lees than $ 1 .2 5 . JLess than 1 percent of the women earned $2.50 or more an hour. 4 About the same proportion of men and women worked on a part-time basis. This and the fact that both men and women employees working from 35 to 40 hours had higher levels of hourly earnings than employees on either shorter or longer work schedules are illustrated in the tabulation below: Men Hours worked in week 1 to 3 4 _________ 35 to 40 ______ 41 to 47 ________ 48 or more ____ Percent of total 27 24 19 30 Although the South accounted for only 22 percent of the total nonsupervisory employment in men* s and boys* clothing stores, it accounted for 41 percent of the employees earning less than $1 and 53 percent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. By contrast, the West accounted for 12 percent of the employment in the industry but for only 2 percent of those earning less than $1, and less than 1 percent of those earning under 75 cents an hour. Women Straighttime average hourly earnings Straighttime average hourly earnings Percent of total $ 1 .2 6 1.98 1.82 1.66 31 43 18 8 $1.13 1.33 1. 15 1. 12 Earnings by Community Size Stores and auxiliary units were also classified according to location in metropolitan areas or in counties not included in such areas; in addition, separation was provided between central cities and other .than central cities in metropolitan areas and between com munities with 5,000 or more and under 5,000 population in the case of nonmetropolitan area counties (tables 6 and 7). Nationwide, more than three-fourths of the employment was concentrated in metropolitan areas— mostly in central cities. In the nonmetropolitan counties, em ployment in communities of 5,000 or more population was more than 4 times that in smaller communities. Earnings by Region Total nonsupervisory employment in the m en's and boys* clothing stores group was distributed among the 4 broad regions as follows: Northeast— 32,000; South— 19,000; North Central— 25,000; and West— 10,000. The relationship between community size and employee hourly earnings for all m en's and boys* clothing stores can be noted from the averages and the proportions of employees earning less than $ 1 as shown in the following tabulation: Levels of hourly earnings and the proportions of employees earning less than any given amount, particularly at the lower pay levels shown below, varied widely among the regions.

Thus, em ployment in metropolitan areas in the comparatively high-wage North east region exceeded that in nonmetropolitan areas in the ratio of 7 to 1; in the South, however, the ratio was about 3 to 1. 5 Earnings by Number of Stores Operated Nationwide, 63 percent of the nonsupervisory employment in October 1956 was accounted for by companies operating single stores. Retailers with 11 or more stores accounted for 19 percent of the em ployment in the group, employers operating 2 or 3 stores accounted for 12 percent, and 4 - to 10-store firms accounted for 6 percent (table 7). Part-time employees accounted for a slightly larger propor tion of employment in chains operating 4 or more stores than in the companies operating fewer stores. Twenty-nine percent of the em ployees in chains operating 4 or more stores worked less than 35 hours a week as compared with 25 percent in store groups with less than 4 stores. Weekly Earnings Nationwide, weekly earnings varied according to hours worked during the payroll period studied as follows: 1 to 34 hours, $21.45; 35 to 40 hours, $68.26; 41 to 47 hours, $71.77; and 48 or more hours, $8 0 .3 0 . Tabulations for all regions except the Northeast in dicate a progressive increase in weekly earnings for each succeeding hours group; in the Northeast employees working 35 to 40 hours aver aged $75.08 a week compared with $74.23 for employees working 41 to 47 hours (table 8). these employees averaged $ 1 .0 6 an hour. Nearly 85,000 employees (44 percent of the total) worked from 35 to 40 hours a week and aver aged $ 1 .3 0 . An average of $1 .0 9 was recorded for the 34,000 em ployees who worked from 41 to 47 hours. Hours of 48 or more were worked by 13,000 employees who averaged $1 .1 6 . Earnings of Men and Women Women accounted for 90 percent (177,000) of the nonsuper visory employees in the women's ready-to-wear group, and averaged $ 1 .1 6 an hour. Eleven percent of the women earned less than 75 cents an hour; 36 percent under $1; and 67 percent under $ 1 .2 5 . Compar atively few (about 1 percent) earned $2.50 or more an hour. Thirteen percent of the women had earnings of $ 1 and under $ 1 .0 5 . The earnings of the 19,000 men in nonsupervisory jobs were at a considerably higher level than the average for women. Men as a group averaged $1.51 an hour. Hourly earnings of less than 75 cents were recorded for 5 percent of the men; 21 percent earned less than $1, and 50 percent earned less than $ 1 .2 5 . Nine percent earned $2.50 or more an hour. About the same proportion of women and men worked on a part-time basis. This and the fact that both men and women employees working from 35 to 40 hours had higher levels of hourly earnings than employees on either shorter or longer work schedules are illustrated in tiie tabulation below: W om ens Ready-to-Wear Stores Men The women* s ready-to-wear stores group includes retail e s tablishments primarily engaged in selling women* s coats, suits, and dresses. Nationwide, women's ready-to-wear stores employed approx imately 197,000 nonsupervisory employees in October 1956. These workers averaged $1. 19 an hour, excluding overtime pay but including commissions or bonuses (table 9). An estimated 21,000 employees, or 10 percent of the total, earned less than 75 cents an hour; 69,000, or 35 percent, under $1; and 129,000, or 65 percent, under $ 1 .2 5 . About 4,000 employees, or 2 percent of the total, earned $ 2.50 or more an hour. The largest concentrations in any 5 -cent wage in terval were: $1 and under $ 1 .0 5 , 13 percent; and $ 1 .2 5 and under $ 1 .3 0 , 7 percent. Substantial variation was noted in the hours worked by indi vidual employees in the mid-October survey week. An estimated 63,000 employees worked less than 35 hours a week.

Proportions of men earning less than $ 1 an hour ranged from less than 1 percent in the West to 59 percent in the South. Similarly, the proportions of women earning less than $1 ranged from 8 percent in the West to 66 percent in the South. Although the South accounted for only 25 percent of the total nonsupervisory employment in women* s ready-to-wear stores, it ac counted for 46 percent of the employees earning less than $1 and 70 percent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. By contrast, the West accounted for 12 percent of the total employment in the in dustry but for only 2 percent of those earning less than $1 and less than 1 percent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. Earnings by Community Size Stores and auxiliary units were also classified according to location in metropolitan areas or in counties not included in such areas; in addition, separation was provided between central cities and other than central cities in metropolitan areas and between communities with 5,000 or more and under 5,000 population in the case of non metropolitan area counties (tables 10 and 11). Nationwide, more than three-fourths of the employment was concentrated in metropolitan areas— mostly in central cities. In the nonmetropolitan counties, em ployment in communities of 5,000 or more population was 6 times that in smaller communities. The relationship between community size and employee hourly earnings for all women* s ready-to-wear stores can be noted from the levels of hourly earnings and the proportions of employees earning less than $ 1 as shown in the following tabulation: Straighttime average hourly earnings Percent earning less than $ 1 an hour Although a generally similar wage relationship by community size was noted within each region, the differences shown in nationwide comparisons reflect, in part, regional differences in general pay levels and in distributions of employment by community size. Thus, em ployment in metropolitan areas in the comparatively high-wage North east region exceeded that in nonmetropolitan areas in the ratio of 13 to 1; in the South, however, the ratio was 2 to 1. Earnings by Number of Stores Operated Nationwide, 46 percent of the nonsupervisory employment in October 1956 was accounted for by companies operating single stores (table 11). Retailers with 11 or more stores accounted for 29 per cent of the employment in the group, employers operating 2 or 3 stores accounted for 16 percent, and 4- to 1 0 -store firms accounted for 9 percent. This pattern also held, with only minor variations, within each of the four broad regions. Earnings of employees in single stores were lower than those of employees of companies operating several stores. Nationwide, em ployees of single stores averaged $1 .1 5 compared with $1 .2 4 for em ployees of companies operating 2 or 3 stores, $1.20 for employees of companies operating 4 to 10 stores, and $ 1 .2 5 for employees of chains of 11 or more stores. The proportions of employees earning less than $1 were: Single stores, 37 percent; 2 or 3 stores, 30 per cent; 4 to 10 stores, 34 percent; and 11 or more stores, 33 percent. 7 Weekly Earnings Nationwide, weekly earnings varied according to hours worked during the payroll period studied as follows: 1 to 34 hours, $20.05; 35 to 40 hours, $50.45; 41 to 47 hours, $47.28; and 48 or more hours, $ 56.66. Tabulations for the Northeast, North Central, and West indicate a progressive increase in weekly earnings for each succeeding hours group; however, this relationship does not hold for the South where employees working 35 to 40 hours averaged $42. 16 a week compared with $38. 66 for employees working 41 to 47 hours (table 12). recorded for 12 percent of the women; 38 percent earned less than $1; and 69 percent earned less than $ 1 .2 5 . Less than 1 percent of the women earned $2.50 or more an hour. About the same proportion of men and women worked on a part-time basis. This and the fact that both men and women employees working from 3 5 to 40 hours had higher levels of hourly earnings than employees on either shorter or longer work schedules are illustrated in the tabulation below: Women Men Shoe Stores The shoe store group includes retail establishments primarily engaged in selling footwear for men, women, children, and infants. Also included are stores which specialize in one line such as men's shoes. These establishments may also carry hosiery and accessories. Nationwide, shoe stores employed approximately 97,000 non supervisory employees in October 1956. These workers averaged $ 1 .4 7 an hour, excluding overtime pay but including commissions or bonuses (table 13). An estimated 7,000 employees, or 7 percent of the total, earned less than 75 cents an hour; 23,000, or 24 percent, under $1; and 46,000, or 47 percent, under $ 1 .2 5 . About 6,000 em ployees, or 6 percent of the total, earned $2.50 or more an hour. The largest concentration of employees in any 5-cent wage interval was the 10 percent in the $1 and under $ 1.05 interval. Substantial variation was noted in the hours worked by indi vidual employees in the mid-October survey week. An estimated 36.000 employees (37 percent of the total) worked less than 35 hours a week. As a group, these employees averaged $1 .1 6 an hour. Nearly 24.000 employees worked from 35 to 40 hours a week and averaged $1.59* An average of $ 1 .4 7 was recorded for the 20,000 employees who worked from 41 to 47 hours. Hours of 48 or more were worked by 17,000 employees who averaged $ 1 .5 3 . Earnings of Men and Women Men accounted for 60 percent (58,000) of the employees in the shoe store group, and averaged $1 .6 7 an hour. Four percent of the men earned less than 75 cents an hour; 16 percent, under $1; and 34 percent, under $ 1 .2 5 . Nine percent earned $2.50 or more an hour. Eight percent of the men had earnings of $ 1 and under $ 1 .0 5 . The earnings of women in nonsupervisory jobs were at a con siderably lower level than the average for men. Women as a group averaged $1.15 an hour.

Similarly, the pro portions of women earning less than $1 ranged from 13 percent in the West to 56 percent in the South. 8 Although the South accounted for only 23 percent of the total nonsupervisory employment in shoe stores, it accounted for 39 per cent of the employees earning less than $1 and 49 percent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. By contrast, the West accounted for 13 percent of the total employment in the industry but for only 4 percent of those earning less than $1, and 1 percent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. Earnings by Community Size Stores and auxiliary units were also classified according to location in metropolitan areas or in counties not included in such areas; in addition, separation was provided between central cities and other than central cities in metropolitan areas and between communities with 5,000 or more and under 5,000 population in the case of non metropolitan area counties (tables 14 and 15). Nationwide, more than three-fourths of the employment was concentrated in metropolitan areas— mostly in central cities. In the nonmetropolitan counties, employment in communities of 5,000 or more population was nearly 19 times that in smaller communities. The relationship between community size and employee hourly earnings for all shoe stores can be noted from the levels of average hourly earnings and the proportions of employees earning less than $ 1 as shown in the following tabulation: Straighttime average hourly earnings Percent earning less than $ 1 an hour Metropolitan areas _________________ Central cities ____________________ Communities other than central cities ____ ___________ $ 1.54 1. 55 20 19 1.49 23 Nonmetropolitan areas _____________ Communities of 5,000 or more ___________ _________ Communities of less than 5,000 ______________________ 1.20 41 1.22 38 . 81 60 Size of community and in distributions of employment by community size. Thus, em ployment in metropolitan areas in the comparatively high-wage North east region exceeded that in nonmetropolitan areas in the ratio of 10 to 1; in the South, however, the ratio was less than 3 to 1. Earnings by Number of Stores Operated Nationwide, 46 percent of the nonsupervisory employment in shoe stores in October 1956 was accounted for by companies oper ating 11 or more stores (table 15). Single-store retailers accounted for 32 percent of the employment in the group, employers operating 2 or 3 stores accounted for 12 percent, and 4- to 10-store firms ac counted for 10 percent. This pattern also held, with only minor var iations, within each of the four broad regions. Earnings of employees in single stores were considerably lower than those of employees of companies operating several stores. Nationwide, employees of single stores averaged $ 1.36 compared with $1.62 for employees of companies operating 2 or 3 stores, $ 1.65 for employees of companies operating 4 to 10 stores, and $ 1 .4 6 for em ployees of chains of 11 or more stores. The proportions of em ployees earning less than $1 were: Single stores, 27 percent; 2 or 3 stores, 20 percent; 4 to 10 stores, 20 percent; and 11 or more stores, 24 percent. Part-time employees accounted for a larger proportion of employment in chains operating 11 or more stores than in the com panies operating fewer stores. Approximately 45 percent of the em ployees in the store group "11 or m ore" worked less than 35 hours a week as compared with 31 percent or less in the other store groups. Weekly Earnings Although a generally similar wage relationship by community size was noted within each region, the differences shown in nationwide comparisons reflect, in part, regional differences in general pay levels Nationwide, weekly earnings varied according to hours worked during the payroll period studied as follows: 1 to 34 hours, $17.24; 35 to 40 hours, $62.50; 41 to 47 hours, $64.14; and 48 or more hours, $7 6 .2 2 . Tabulations for the South, North Central, and West indicate a progressive increase in weekly earnings for each succeeding hours group; however, this relationship does not hold for the North east where employees working 35 to 40 hours averaged $67 a week compared with $64.63 for employees working 41 to 47 hours (table 16). 9 STRAIGHT-TIME A V E R A G E H O U R L Y EARNINGS OF NONSUPERVISORY EMPLOYEES A p p a r e l a n d Accessories Stores U N IT E D STATES A N D R E G I O N S ,B Y M E T R O P O L IT A N O c to b e r UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT O F LABOR BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS AND 1956 N O N M E T R O P O L IT A N AREA C O U N T IE S 10 Table 1: Distribution of nonsupervisory employees by straight-time average hourly earnings and hours worked in week, October 1956 APPAREL AND ACCESSORIES STORES -

Thus, the sample size for lines of business shown separately was proportionately larger than that for lines of business not published separately. The following table indicates the number of units included in the sample of the apparel and accessories group and in each specific line of business for which separate data are published: Kind of business Number of stores and auxiliary units in _____BLS sample Apparel and accessories stores ________ M en 's and boys' clothing stores ____ Women1s ready-to-w ear stores _____ Shoe stores ____________________________ The sample used in the retail trade selected from three different sources: 4 ,2 68 952 1 ,094 1,447 study as a whole was 1. Large multiunit companies. — Current lists of stores and auxiliary units (such as warehouses and offices) were provided by 110 chains with the largest employment (chains operating a sm all number of large urban stores were not included in this group). Units in each of these lists were stratified by location and employment size. A systematic sample was then selected in accordance with a set of sam pling ratios that varied by line of business. In a few ca ses, company records for individual employees were available in groupings broader than store units; in these instances, a systematic sample of employees in all units was selected. The 110 chains in this class were visited by Bureau repre sentatives who explained the nature of the sample and the information needed. Actual compilation of the data was done by the company in the bulk of the c a ses. About 8 ,000 units were selected from these large companies. 2. State Unemployment Compensation Insurance listin g s. — The most currently available listings of the State Unemployment Insurance (U .I .) agencies provided the basis for selecting the largest number of sample units. Sampling and Collection Procedure The retail trade survey was conducted on a sample basis. Data for the survey as a whole were obtained from about 2 8 ,0 0 0 stores and auxiliary units, selected in accordance with line of business, location, and employment size. The sample design was such as to permit the publication of data for each of the major kinds of business After units belonging to the large chains referred to above and establishments with fewer than eight employees (see item 3) were excluded, a sample of reporting units was selected in a systematic fashion from lists arranged by State and line of business. The sam pling ratios varied by line of business and region and increased with employment size— all units of 500 or more employees were included. 6 8 A ll units thus selected and having 1,000 or more employees were visited by trained representatives of the Bureau. About 1,800 units were included in this part of the sample. The bulk of the re spondents in this group were large urban department stores which were not considered as chains in the sampling design, even where a number of store units were under common ownership. Problem s of Nonresponse Data for each sampling unit collected, whether store, group of stores, or individual employee, were weighted in accordance with the probability of selecting that unit. For instance, where 1 store out of 10 was selected from a chain, all data from that store were considered as representing itself and 9 other stores. Thus, each seg ment was given its appropriate weight in the total, despite the inclusion of all large stores and only a sm all proportion of small stores. In that part of the survey where collection was done by the Bureau of the Census representatives, less than 5 percent of the stores within scope of the survey failed to provide usable data. To com pensate for the loss of these schedules, their weight was assigned to usable schedules in the same kind of business in the same or re lated a re a s. In that part of the survey conducted by mail canvass, estimates for the nonrespondent population were made from the field followup of a sample of the nonrespondents. In the estimating procedure this sample, therefore, carried larger weights than those received by m ail. The response rate to the mail questionnaire portion of the survey was The remainder of the units selected from unemployment com about 53 percent. About 30 percent of the remainder were followed pensation lists were included in a mail canvass. A sample of those up by personal visit, the ratio varying by kind of business. Analysis not replying to two mail requests was visited by Bureau representatives. of the results showed that within each kind of business-regional cla ss, Altogether, about 13,000 stores were covered in this group. the schedules obtained by personal visit averaged slightly less in earn ings than those replying by m ail. 3. Single-unit stores with fewer than eight em ployees. — Data for single-unit stores with fewer than eight employees were collected by the Bureau of the Census in its monthly survey of retail trade. In the part of the survey made by mail or personal visit to Two monthly samples of such stores were used, totaling about 5,000 the nonrespondents thereto, the weight of unusable schedules and of refusals was imputed to the whole of this subuniverse. This was ca r stores. ried out in the process of adjusting to the predetermined totals for the regional kind of business groups. Estimating Procedure A ll estimated totals derived from this weighting process were further adjusted to the employment levels for October 195 6, as given in the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly employment series after excluding eating and drinking places (6 .7 million). The totals pub lished in this survey differ from those in the monthly series since the latter include total instead of nonsupervisory employment. In order to derive these employment levels for the detailed line of businessregional groups presented in this report, the totals in the Bureau's employment series were broken down on the basis of the line of busi ness-regional employment totals found in the 1954 Census of Business. For fluid milk pasteurizing and home delivery (included in this study but not in the Census of B usiness), data from the 1954 Census of Manufactures were used. The problems of response and unusable data were almost non existent in the large store and large chain sam ples. Criteria for Publication of Estimates Since the survey was done on a sample ba sis, the results of this survey differ from those that would have been obtained by a com plete canvass of all retail activities. These differences may be sub stantial in those instances where the sample was sm all; it has not been possible, therefore, to present distributions and averages for all c a s e s . The following general criteria have been followed; With very few exceptions, the adjustment of the survey totals to the predesignated totals was confined to that part of the survey which was collected by m ail, or by personal visit to the nonrespondents thereto. Obviously, lists available from the U .I. omitted units opened after the effective date of the lists. Adjustment to predesignated totals was necessary to keep this sector from being underrepresented in the total. In the case of the census sam ple, the large store sample, and the chain store sample, the best unbiased estimates of totals were presumed to be the weighted-up sample totals, there being no problem of unrepresented business births in these groups. 1. No distributions are shown for groupings of less than 50 stores; except department stores where the sample covered most of the large stores in the universe. 2. No data of any kind are than 30 sto r e s. shown for situations with less 3. No published segment, regardless of number of stores involved, contains data from fewer than 10 distinct em ployers. 69 Definition of Term s Establishment. — Data were reported for individual establish ments rather than for companies. An establishment is generally de fined as a single physical location where business is conducted. Where two or more activities were carried on at a single establishment, the entire establishment was classified on the basis of its major activity (in terms of sales); all data for such an establishment were included in that classification. Thus, earnings data for cafeteria employees of department stores and lunch-counter employees of drug stores were in cluded, whereas employees of establishments classified as primarily eating places were excluded. When two or more activities were carried on at a single location by separate business entities, each entity was treated as an establishment. Thus, a leased department in a department or clothing store was treated as a separate establishment and was included in these tabulations on the basis of its activities rather than as a part of the store within which it operated. Data for auxiliary units of retail establishments (such as sep arate warehouses, administrative offices, e tc .) were included in this report and classified on the basis of the major activity of the retail establishment serviced. Nonsupervisory E m ployees. — The term "nonsupervisory em p lo y e e s," as used in this report, includes all full-tim e and part-time employees such as salespersons, shipping and receiving clerks, stock clerks, laborers, warehousemen, caretakers, office clerks, drivers, driver-salesm en , installation and repair men, demonstrators, altera tion hands, elevator operators, porters, janitors, and watchmen, and other employees whose services are closely associated with those of employees listed above, including working supervisors. Excluded are officers and principal executives, such as buyers, department heads, and managers whose work is above the working supervisory level. Earnings Data. — For purposes of this study, earnings data relate to straight-tim e earnings, excluding overtime premium pay. Commission and/or bonus earnings and special sales bonuses (such as P M 's and Stims) paid quarterly or oftener are included. Bonuses paid less frequently than quarterly are excluded. Individual average hourly earnings for employees not paid by the hour were obtained by dividing total earnings reported by the num ber of hours worked during the corresponding period. Individual weekly earnings were obtained by multiplying the average hourly earnings, computed as above, by the number of hours worked during the selected week ending ^nearest October 15, 1956. 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, computed by dividing the sum of the individual weekly earnings by the number of employees represented in the group total. Hours Worked in W eek. — Individual earnings data are tabulated in this report according to the number of hours worked by the employee during the selected week ending nearest October 15, 1956. Weeks containing nonworking holidays or other irregular work schedules were avoided. Regions. — The regions used in this study are: 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 Cen tral— Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, M issouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin; W est— Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Metropolitan A r e a s. — The term "metropolitan a re a " used in this report refers to the Standard Metropolitan Areas established under the sponsorship of the Bureau of the Budget. Central cities of m etro politan areas include the largest city (over 50,000 inhabitants by def inition of the term metropolitan area) and all other cities in the area with a population of 2 5 ,000 or m ore, provided each such city has a population amounting to at least one-third the population of the largest city. A ll other communities in the metropolitan area are included as "communities other than central cities. " Nonmetropolitan A r e a s. — All communities not in a metropoli tan area were classified as to their population according to the 1950 census— those with 5,000 or more and those with less than 5 ,0 0 0 . Number of Stores Operated. — Data were tabulated in accord ance with the number of retail stores reported as operated by the parent company, as follows: (a) Single store; (b) 2 or 3 stores; (c) 4 to 10 stores; and (d) 11 or more stores. Respondents were requested to indicate the number of stores operated by the parent company rather than by a subsidiary company. Thus, if the parent company operated a total of 12 stores through 2 subsidiary companies of 6 each, data for all stores were grouped according to the total of 12 (appearing in the group, 11 or more) rather than the 6 (4 to 10) operated by the subsidiary. ☆ U.
