Earnings in Retail Trade in October 1956 Automotive D ealers and G asoline Service Stations* most usually paid on a time-rate basis. Establishments in the broad group are well represented in both small and large communities. In terms of employment, establishments range in size from 1 or 2 em ployees, as in the case of many gasoline service stations, to as many as a hundred employees in the case of the larger automobile dealers. These and other factors are reflected in the wide dispersion of indi vidual earnings which range from 50 cents to more than $ 3 an hour. Introduction The U. S. Department of Labor1s Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted a comprehensive study of the straight-time earnings of nonsuper visory employees in retail trade (except eating and drinking places) for an October 1956 payroll period. This bulletin provides in formation on the hourly and weekly earnings of employees in the auto motive dealers and gasoline service stations group. Other publica tions relating to the broad study of retail trade are listed on the inside front cover. Nationwide, automotive dealers and gasoline service stations employed approximately 1,091,000 nonsupervisory employees in October 1956 (table 1). As a group, these employees averaged $ 1. 52 an hour, excluding overtime pay but including commissions or bonuses. An estimated 69, 000 employees, or 6 percent of the total, earned less than 75 cents an hour; 182, 000, or 17 percent, under $ 1; and 430,000, or 39 percent, under $ 1 .2 5 . About 92,000 employees, or 8 percent of the total, earned $ 2 .5 0 or more an hour. The largest concentra tions in any 5-cent wage interval were as follows: $ 1 and under $ 1. 05, 11 percent; and $ 1 .2 5 and under $ 1 .3 0 , 7 percent. The automotive dealers and gasoline service stations group includes retail stores selling new and used automobiles and trucks, new parts and accessories, and gasoline, lubricating oils, and related products. A complete definition of this group is contained in the appendix. Separate data are provided in this bulletin for franchised motor vehicle dealers and for gasoline service stations, which account for 52 and 36 percent, respectively, of the nonsupervisory employment in the total industry group. Substantial variation was noted in the hours worked by indi vidual employees in the mid-October survey week. An estimated 153, 000 employees worked less than 35 hours a week. As a group, these employees averaged $ 1 .1 9 an hour. More than 179, 000 em ployees worked from 35 to 40 hours a week and averaged $ 1 .7 6 . An average of $ 1. 84 was recorded for the 237, 000 employees who worked from 41 to 47 hours. Hours of 48 or more were worked by 522, 000 em ployees (48 percent of the total) who averaged $ 1 .3 7 . 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 variation that exists in weekly work schedules, distributions of employees by wage intervals are provided according to hours worked during the payroll week. In addition to data for the United States and four broad regions, tabulations are provided by community size and number of establish ments operated by company. Summary information on average weekly earnings is also shown. Earnings of Men and Women Men accounted for 92 percent (l, 003, 000) of the employees in the automotive dealers and gasoline service stations group and averaged $ 1 .5 3 an hour. Six percent of the men earned less than 75 cents an hour; 16 percent under $ 1; and 39 percent under $ 1.25. Nearly 10 per cent earned $ 2 .5 0 or more an hour. Eleven percent had earnings of $ 1 and under $ 1. 05. Automotive Dealers and Gasoline Service Stations The automotive dealers and gasoline service stations group includes establishments that differ substantially in a variety of charac teristics that influence wages. For example, the sales personnel of automobile dealers are frequently paid on a commission or bonus form of wage payment; employees of gasoline service stations, however, are The earnings of the 87, 000 women in nonsupervisory jobs were at a considerably lower level than the average for men. Women as a group averaged $ 1 .2 9 an hour. Hourly earnings of less than 7 5 cents were recorded for 8 percent of the women; 22 percent earned less than $1; and 48 percent earned less than $ 1 .2 5 . Comparatively few women (2 percent) earned $ 2 .5 0 or more an hour. * Prepared in the Division of Wages and Industrial Relations. NOTE: See appendix on page 52, for definition of terms used in this bulletin. ( 1) 2 Approximately half of the *men worked 48 or more hours a week and averaged $ 1 .3 8 . Averages for men in other hours groups were as follows: 41 to 47 hours (21 percent), $ 1 .9 0 ; 35 to 40 hours (14 percent), $ 1 .8 3 ; and 1 to 34 hours (14 percent), $ 1 .1 9 . Sub stantial proportions of the women were in the groups working 35 to 40 and 41 to 47 hours, averaging $ 1 .4 6 and $ 1 .3 3 , respectively. central cities in metropolitan areas and between communities with 5, 000 or more and under 5, 000 population in the case of nonmetro politan area counties (tables 2 and 3). Nationwide, 58 percent 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 exceeded employment in smaller com munities by a ratio of 3 to 2. 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 automotive dealers and gasoline service stations group was distributed among these regions as follows: Northeast 9 States— 228, 000; South - 16 States and the District of Columbia— 345,000; North Central - 12 States— 335, 000; and West - 11 States— 183, 000. Levels of hourly earnings and the proportions of employees earning less than any given amount, particularly at the lower pay levels, varied widely among the regions, as indicated below: The relationship between community size and employee hourly earnings for automotive dealers and gasoline service stations can be noted from the averages and the proportions of employees earning less than $ 1, as shown in the following tabulation: Size of community Metropolitan ateas Straighttime average hourly earnings Region United States Percent with hourly earnings of less than— $ 0 .7 5 $1 $ 1 .2 5 --------------- $1. 52 6 17 39 Northeast ______ ________ South ___________ North C entral__ ________ West __ _ ___ 1 . 62 1. 25 1 . 59 1 . 82 1 16 3 6 36 11 5 28 62 36 18 1 Proportions of men earning less than $ 1 an hour ranged 4 percent in the West to 35 percent in the South. Similarly, the pro portions of women earning less than $ 1 ranged from 8 percent in the West to 42 percent in the South. Although the South accounted for only 32 percent of the total nonsupervisory employment in the automotive dealers and gasoline service stations group, it accounted for 68 percent of the employees earning less than $ 1 and 78 percent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. By contrast, the West accounted for 17 percent of the total employment in the industry group, for 5 percent of those earning less than $ 1, and for 2 percent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. Earnings by Community Size Establishments were also classified according to location in metropolitan areas or in counties not included in such areas; in addi tion, separation was provided between central cities and other than C entral cities Straighttime average hourly earnings Percent earning less than $ 1 an hour $ 1 .6 6 1.65 9 10 1. 67 8 1.33 28 1.43 23 1. 17 35 Communities other than cen tral cities Nonmetropolitan areas Communities of 5, 000 or m ore Communities of less than 5, 000 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 more than 3 to 1; in the South, however, slightly more than half of the employees were in nonmetro politan areas. Earnings by Number of Establishments Operated Nationwide, 85 percent of the nonsupervisory employment in October 1956 was accounted for by companies operating single estab lishments (table 3). Employers operating 2 or 3 establishments accounted for 8 percent; 4- to 10-establishment firms, 3 percent; and 11 or more establishments, 5 percent. Nationwide, employees of single establishment companies averaged $ 1.51 an hour compared with $ 1. 37 for employees of companies operating 4 to 10 units and $ 1.48 for em ployees of chains of 11 or more establishments. Highest average hourly earnings of $ 1 .6 4 were recorded for employees of companies 3 operating 2 or 3 establishments. The proportions of employees earn ing less than $ 1 were as follows: Single establishments, 17 percent; 2 or 3 establishments, 10 percent; 4 to 10 establishments, 14 per cent; and 11 or more establishments, 16 percent. Part-time employees accounted for a larger proportion of employment in single-establishment companies than in the companies operating multiple units; 15 percent of the employees in the single establishment group worked less than 35 hours a week— as compared with 7 percent in firms with 2 or 3 establishments, and 13 percent in companies operating 4 or more units. Weekly Earnings Nationwide, weekly earnings varied according to hours worked during the payroll period studied as follows: 1 to 34 hours, $2 2 .4 6 ; 35 to 40 hours, $69. 15; 41 to 47 hours, $81. 37; and 48 or more.hours, $72.25 (table 4). Tabulations for the United States and each region indicate progressively higher weekly earnings for each succeeding hours group up through the group working 41 to 47 hours, and then a drop in weekly earnings for employees working 48 or more hours. This same relationship existed for men in all regions, and for women in the South and West. Franchised Motor Vehicle Dealers Dealers engaged in selling new and used automobiles and trucks accounted for 52 percent of the nonsupervisory employees in the major group of automotive dealers and gasoline service stations. Located in both small and large communities, motor vehicle dealers usually op erate service and repair facilities in addition to a sales department. Almost exclusively men, employees of both of these departments are usually eligible for bonus or commission earnings. Women employees are largely restricted to office functions which are normally paid on a time-rate basis. These variable factors are reflected in the wide distribution of individual earnings. Nationwide, franchised motor vehicle dealer s employed approxi mately 568, 000 nonsupervisory employees in October 1956 (table 5). As a group, these employees averaged $ 1 .7 2 an hour, excluding over time pay but including commissions or bonuses. An estimated 23, 000 employees, or 4 percent of the total, earned less than 75 cents an hour; 66, 000, or 12 percent, under $ 1; and 155, 000, or 27 percent, under $ 1 .2 5 . About 78, 000 employees, or 14 percent of the total, earned $ 2 .5 0 or more and hour. The largest concentrations in any 5-cent wage interval were as follows: $1 and under $ 1 .0 5 , 6 percent; and $ 1 .2 5 and under $ 1 .3 0 , 5 percent. Substantial variation was noted in the hours worked by indi vidual employees in the mid-October survey week. An estimated 27, 000 employees worked less than 35 hours a week. As a group, these employees averaged $ 1 .5 2 an hour. Approximately 107, 000 em ployees worked from j 5 to 40 hours a week and averaged $ 1 .9 6 . An average of $ 1.93 was recorded for the 195, 000 employees who worked from 41 to 47 hours. Hours of 48 or more were worked by 237,000 em ployees (42 percent of the total) who averaged $ 1 .5 1 . Earnings of Men and Women Men accounted for nine-tenths (509, 000) of the employees in the franchised motor vehicle dealers group and averaged $ 1 .7 6 an hour. Approximately 4 percent earned less than 75 cents an hour; 11 percent under $1; and 26 percent under $ 1 .2 5 . Fifteen percent of the men earned $ 2 .5 0 or more an hour. Five percent of the men had earnings of $ 1 and under $ 1. 05. The earnings of the 59, 000 women in nonsupervisory jobs were at a considerably lower level than the average for men. Women as a group averaged $ 1 .4 0 an hour. Hourly earnings of less than 75 cents were recorded for 3 percent of the women; 14 percent earned less than $1; and 39 percent earned less than $ 1 .2 5 . Approximately 45 percent of the men worked 48 or more hours a week and averaged $ 1 .5 1 . Averages for men in other hours groups were as follows: 41 to 47 hours (34 percent), $2; 35 to 40hours (16 percent), $ 2 .0 9 ; and 1 to 34 hours (4 percent), $ 1.60. The largest groups of women employees worked 35 to 40 and 41 to 47 hours, aver aging $ 1 .5 1 and $ 1 .3 7 , respectively. Earnings by Region Total nonsupervisory employment in the motor vehicle dealers group was distributed among the 4 broad regions as follows: Northeast— 133, 000; South— 165, 000; North Central— 181, 000; and West— 89, 060. Levels of hourly earnings and the proportions of employees earning less than any given amount, particularly at the lower pay levels, varied widely among the regions, as indicated below: Region United States ____________ Northeast ________________ South ..................................... North C entral____________ W e s t_____________________ Straighttime average hourly earnings $ 1.72 1.80 1.44 1.77 2.09 Percent with hourly earnings of less than— $ 0.75 $1 $ 1 .2 5 12 27 1 3 10 26 3 9 1 4 16 46 26 12 4 4 Proportions of men earning less than $1 an hour ranged from 3 and 4 percent, respectively, in the Northeast and West to 26 percent in the South. Similarly, the proportions of women earning less than $1 ranged from 3 and 4 percent in the Northeast and West to 32 per cent in the South. Although the South accounted for only 29 percent of the total nonsupervisory employment in franchised motor vehicle dealers, it ac counted for 66 percent of the employees earning less than $1 and 70 percent earning less than 75 cents an hour. By contrast, the West accounted for 16 percent of the total employment in the motor vehicle dealers group, for 5 percent of those earning less than $1, and for 4 percent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. Earnings by Community Size Establishments were also classified according to location in metropolitan areas or in counties not included in such areas; in addi tion, 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 nonmetro politan area counties (tables 6 and 7). Nationwide, 55 percent 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 twice that in smaller communities. The relationship between community size and employee hourly earnings for motor vehicle dealers can be noted from the averages and the proportions earning less than $1, as shown in the following tabulation: Size of community Straighttime average hourly earnings Percent earning less than $ 1 an hour Metropolitan areas ---------------- ----Central cities --------------------Communities other than central cities ------------------- $1.93 1.90 6 8 1.99 3 Nonmetropolitan areas ----------- ----Communities of 5, 000 or or more --------------------------- ----Communities of less than 5,000 ------------------------ ----- 1.48 19 1.58 16 1.31 23 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 nearly 3 to 1; in the South, how ever, employees in nonmetropolitan areas outnumbered those in metro politan areas by a ratio of 5 to 3. Earnings by Number of Establishments Operated Nationwide, 89 percent of the nonsupervisory employment in October 1956 was accounted for by companies operating single estab lishments, while employers operating 2 or 3 establishments accounted for another 10 percent (table 7). Earnings of employees in single e s tablishments were considerably lower than those of employees of com panies operating several units. Nationwide, employees of single-unit companies averaged $1. 71 an hour compared with $ 1 .7 6 for employees of companies operating 2 or 3 establishments. The proportions of employees earning less than $1 were as follows: Single establishments, 12 percent; 2 or 3 establishments, 10 percent. Weekly Earnings Nationwide, weekly earnings varied according to hours worked during the payroll period studied, as follows: 1 to 34 hours, $33.17; 3 5 to 40 hours, $77. 32; 41 to 47 hours, $85. 49; and 48 or more hours, $77.88 (table 8). Tabulations for the Northeast indicate progressively higher weekly earnings for each succeeding hours group; however, this relationship does not hold in the South, where employees working 41 to 47 hours averaged $73. 18 a week compared with $70. 10 for em ployees working 48 or more hours, or in the North Central or West, where employees working 41 to 47 hours averaged slightly more a week than employees working 48 or more hours. Gasoline Service Stations Gasoline service stations accounted for 36 percent of the nonsupervisory employees in the major group of automotive dealers and gasoline service stations in October 1956. Widely dispersed throughout the country, in the smallest towns and the largest cities, individual gasoline service stations are comparatively small in terms of employment, rarely employing as many as eight workers. 1 Com prised almost exclusively of men, the work force is largely paid on a time-rate basis— although some larger companies provide commission payments on the sale of tires and accessories. 1 County Business Patterns, U. S. Department of Commerce. 5 Nationwide, gasoline service stations employed approximately 390.000 nonsupervisory employees in October 1956. As a group, these employees averaged $1.21 an hour, excluding overtime pay but including commissions or bonuses (table 9). An estimated 40,000 employees, or 10 percent of the total, earned less than 75 cents an hour; 97,000, or 25 percent under $1; and 217, 000, or 56 percent under $ 1 .2 5 . About 5,000 employees, or 1 percent of the total, earned $2. 50 or more an hour. The largest concentrations in any 5-cent wage interval were as follows: $1 and under $ 1 .0 5 , 19 percent; and $1 .2 5 and under $ 1 .3 0 , 11 percent. Levels of hourly earnings and proportions of employees earn ing less than any given amount, particularly at the lower pay levels, varied widely among the regions, as indicated below: Region Substantial variation was noted in the hours worked by indi vidual employees in the mid-October survey week. An estimated 110.000 employees worked less than 35 hours a week. As a group, these employees averaged $1.09 an hour. More than 45,000 em ployees worked from 35 to 40 hours a week and averaged $ 1 .3 7 . An average of $1.21 an hour was recorded for the 22,000 employees who worked from 41 to 47 hours. Hours of 48 or more were worked by 212,000 employees (54 percent of the total) who also averaged $ 1 .2 1 .

Earnings of Men and Women Men accounted for approximately 96 percent (374,000) of the employees in the gasoline service stations group, and averaged $1.22 an hour. Approximately 10 percent earned less than 75 cents an hour; 24 percent under $1; and 55 percent under $ 1 .2 5 . Comparatively few men (l percent) earned $2. 50 or more an hour. Nineteen percent of the men had earnings of $ 1 and under $ 1 .0 5 . The earnings of the 16,000 women in nonsupervisory jobs were at a considerably lower level than the average for men. Women as a group averaged $ 1 an hour. Hourly earnings of less than 75 cents were recorded for 2 7 percent of the women; 49 percent earned less than $1; and 74 percent earned less than $ 1 .2 5 . Slightly more than half of the men worked 48 or more hours a week and averaged $ 1 .2 2 . Averages for men in other hours groups were as follows: 1 to 34 (28 percent), $1 .1 0 ; 35 to 40 (11 percent), $ 1 .3 8 ; and 41 to 47 (5 percent), $ 1 .2 2 . Approximately 43 percent of the women worked 48 or more hours a week and averaged 86 cents an hour. Women were about evenly divided in all other hours groups with averages of 96 cents an hour for 1 to 34 hours: $1.12 for 41 to 47; and $ 1.29 for 35 to 40 hours. Earnings by Region Total nonsupervisory employment in the gasoline service stations group was distributed among the 4 broad regions as follows: Northeast— 74,000; South— 129,000; North Central— 116,000; and West— ? o ;ir o o .— -------------- ----------------------------------- — Proportions of men earning less than $1 an hour ranged from 6 percent in the West to 52 percent in the South. Similarly, the pro portions of women earning less than $1 ranged from 13 percent in the West to 75 percent in the South. Although the South accounted for only 33 percent of the total nonsupervisory employment in gasoline service stations, it accounted for 71 percent of the employees earning less than $1 and 83 percent earning less than 75 cents an hour. By contrast, the West accounted for 18 percent of the total employment in the gasoline service stations group, 4 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 Establishments and auxiliary units were also classified ac cording 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 nonmetropolitan area counties (tables 10 and 11). Nationwide, 62 percent of the employment was concentrated in metropolitan areas— nearly evenly divided between central cities and other communities of the metropolitan area. In the nonmetropolitan counties, employment in communities of 5, 000 or more population was about the same as in the smaller communities. 6 The relationship between community size and employee hourly earnings for gasoline service stations can be noted from the averages and the proportions earning less than $1, as shown in the following tabulation: Size of community Metropolitan areas ---------------- — Central cities -------------------Communities other than central cities ------------------Nonmetropolitan areas ---------Communities of 5, 000 or more ---------- ----------------Communities of less than 5,000 ------------------------ Straighttime average hourly earnings Percent earning less than $ 1 an hour $1.33 1.33 13 14 1.33 11 1.02 45 1.04 41 .99 49 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 distribu tions of employment by community size. Thus, employment in metro politan areas in the comparatively high-wage Northeast region exceeded that in nonmetropolitan areas in the ratio of 7 to 1; in the South, how ever, employment in the metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas was roughly equal. Earnings by Number of Establishments Operated Nationwide, 84 percent of the nonsupervisory employment in October 1956 was accounted for by companies operating single estab lishments (table 11). Employers operating 11 or more units accounted for 7 percent; 4 to 10 establishments, 5 percent; and firms with 2 or 3 establishments for 4 percent of the employment. Earnings of employees in single establishments were consid erably lower than those of employees of companies operating several units. Nationwide, employees of single-unit companies averaged $ 1 .1 7 , compared with $ 1 .3 4 for employees of companies operating 2 or 3 or 4 to 10 establishments, and $1.51 for employees of chains of 11 or more units. The proportions of employees earning less than $1 were as follows: Single-establishment companies, 2 7 percent; companies with 2 or 3 units, 5 percent; 4 to 10 units, 8 percent; and 11 or more units, 22 percent. Part-time employees accounted for a larger proportion of employment in single-establishment companies than in the companies with multiple-unit operations. Thirty percent of the employees in single-establishment companies worked less than 35 hours a week, compared with 22 percent in the 2 - or 3-unit group; 16 percent of employees in companies operating 11 or more units; and 10 percent of the employees in the 4 - to 1 0 -establishment group. Weekly Earnings Nationwide, weekly earnings varied according to hours worked during the payroll period studied, as follows: 1 to 34 hours, $19.77; 35 to 40 hours, $53. 33; 41 to 47 hours, $53. 68; and 48 or more hours, $65.52 (table 12). Tabulations for 3 of the 4 regions indicate a pro gressive increase in weekly earnings for each succeeding hours group; however, this relationship does not hold for the West where employees working 35 to 40 hours averaged $69. 76 a week, compared with $63.37 for employees working 41 to 47 hours and $75.30 for employees working 48 or more hours a week. 7 STRAIGHT-TIME AVERAGE HOURLY EARNINGS OF NONSUPERVISORY EMPLOYEES Automotive Dealers and Gasoline Service Stations UNITED STATES AND REGIONS , BY METROPOLITAN AND NONMETROPOLITAN AREA COUNTIES October 1956 NORTHEAST $1.62 UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS I* V $1-64 ^$| I55 Mi 8 Table 1: Distribution of nonsupervisory employees by straight-time average hourly earnings and hours worked in week, October 1956 AUTOMOTIVE DEALERS AND GASOLINE SERVICE STATIONS - UNITED STATES: BY SEX (Number of employees in hundreds) All employees Average hourly earnings (in cents) Hours worked in week Total 1 35 to 40 to ....

S. Department of Labor*s Bureau of Labor Statistics was de signed to provide separate information for major retail industry groups as well as for selected specific lines of business. groups in retail trade (except eating and drinking places), but for only a few of the specific lines of business. Thus, the sample size for lines of business shown spearately are proportionately larger than for lines of business not published separately. The following tabulation indicates the number of units included in the sample of the automotive dealers and gasoline service stations group and in each line of busi ness for which separate data are published: Industry Classification This bulletin relates to the major group of Automotive Dealers and Gasoline Service Stations (group 55) as defined in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1949 edition, prepared by the Bureau of the Budget, Executive Office of the President. Separate infor mation is provided for two specific lines of business within the major group: Franchised motor vehicle dealers (551) and gasoline service stations (554). The automotive dealers and gasoline service stations group, as defined in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, includes retail dealers selling new and used automobiles and trucks, new parts and accessories, and gasoline service stations. This group includes establishments dealing in used automobiles exclusively but not establishments dealing exclusively in used parts. Automobile re pair shops maintained by establishments engaged in the sale of new automobiles are also included. In this group are motor vehicle dealers; tire, battery, and accessory dealers; service stations; and establish ments specializing in the sale of automobile trailers, airplanes, motor cycles, motorboats, or other related automotive products. Franchised motor vehicle dealers (industry 551) include e s tablishments primarily engaged in selling new automobiles or new and used automobiles and trucks. These establishments frequently main tain repair departments and carry stocks of replacement parts, tires, batteries, and automotive accessories. Establishments primarily engaged in selling used cars and trucks and making no sales of new automobiles are excluded from the franchised motor vehicle dealers group. Gasoline service stations (industry 554) include establish ments primarily engaged in selling gasoline and lubricating oils and which may also sell minor lines of merchandise or perform minor repair work.

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 small 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 cases, 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 cases. About 8, 000 units were selected from these large companies. 2. State Unemployment Compensationlnsurance listings. — 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 industry as a whole were obtained from about 28,000 stores and auxiliary units, selected in accordance with line of business, lo cation, and employment size. The sample design was such as to per mit the publication of data for each of the major kind 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. 51 All 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. Problems 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 small 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 areas. 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 mail. 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 class, 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 mail. 3. Single-unit stores with fewer than eight employees. — 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 stores. refusals was imputed to the whole of this subuniverse. This was car ried out in the process of adjusting to the predetermined totals for the regional kind of business groups. Estimating Procedure All estimated totals derived from this weighting process were further adjusted to the employment levels for October 1956, 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 Bureaus 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 Business), 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 samples. Criteria for Publication of Estimates Since the survey was done on a sample basis, 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 small; it has not been possible, therefore, to present distributions and averages for all cases. 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 mail, 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 sample, 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 stores. shown for situations with less 3. No published segment, regardless of number of stores involved, contains data from fewer than 10 distinct employers. 52 Definition of Terms 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, etc.) were included in this report and classified on the basis of the major activity of the retail establishment serviced. Nonsupervisory Employees. — The term "nonsupervisory em ployees, n as used in this report, includes all full-time and part-time employees such as salespersons, shipping and receiving clerks, stock clerks, laborers, warehousemen, caretakers, office clerks, drivers, driver-salesmen, 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-time earnings, excluding overtime premium pay. Commission and/or bonus earnings and special sales bonuses (such as PM*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 Week. — 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, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia; North Cen tral— Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin; West— Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Metropolitan A reas. — The term "metropolitan area" used in this report refers to the Standard Metropolitan Areas established under the sponsorship of the Bureau of the Budget. Central cities of metro 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 25, 000 or more, provided each such city has a population amounting to at least one-third the population of the largest city. All other communities in the metropolitan area are included as "communities other than central cities. " Nonmetropolitan A re 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, 000. 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.
