Although most of the statistical tables in this report relate to retail trade as a group, summary information is provided for various lines of retail activity in the text, charts, and tables. Earlier publications providing greater detail for various retail trade industries are listed on the order form. In recognition of the wide variation in weekly work schedules that exists in retail trade industries, distributions of employees by wage intervals are provided by hours worked in a week. Except where otherwise identified, average hourly earnings for various employee groupings published in this report were obtained by dividing total in dividual weekly earnings by total individual hours worked. Details concerning scope and method of study and definitions of terms are provided in appendix A . Summary The more than 6 million employees within the scope of the study averaged $1.41 an hour, excluding overtime premium pay in October 1956. An estimated 611,000 of these— or 10 percent of the total— earned less than 75 cents an hour; 26 percent earned less than $1; and 50 percent earned under $1.25 an hour. The 486,000 em ployees working less than 15 hours a week averaged $1.03 an hour; 46 percent of them earned less than $1. The million-plus employees working 15 to 34 hours averaged $1 .0 8 with 39 percent below $1. The highest average ($1.55) and smallest percent of workers (16) below $1 was recorded for employees scheduled to work 40 hours a week. Men comprised 60 percent of the total retail trade work force and averaged $1 .5 8 an hour; 17 percent earned less than $1. Women averaged $1.11 an hour with 41 percent below $1. Women accounted for more than 60 percent of all employees earning less than $1 an hour. il Trade in October 1956 * average hourly earnings were lowest in communities of less than 5,000 population. As compared with other regions, employment in the South is less heavily concentrated, proportionately, in metropolitan areas. This explains, in part, the finding that the South accounts for 47 per cent of all employees earning less than $1 an hour as compared with 28 percent of total employment. For all retail trade industries combined, relatively minor differences were found in pay levels among groupings of employees according to the number of stores operated by company. Within spe cific lines of business, however, employees of companies operating 11 or more stores usually averaged higher earnings than employees of single-store firms with an intermediate pay position indicated for em ployees of smaller chains. Pay levels varied widely among major lines of business ex amined separately. Nationwide average hourly earnings ranged from $1 .7 2 in the franchised motor vehicle dealer industry to 89 cents in variety stores. Employees in women's ready-to-wear stores, drug stores, and gasoline service stations averaged about $ 1 .2 0 , depart ment store employees averaged $ 1 .3 3 , and grocery store employees (accounting for 16 percent of total retail employment) averaged $1.39 (table 1). Characteristics of Retail Trade Merchandise is distributed at retail in the United States through stores, mail-order houses, house-to-house selling, and vending ma chines. Retailing organizations range in size from family operated units to firms that rank among the Nation's largest employers. Some industries operate typically through single stores; in other industries, large chain store enterprises account for most of the employment. In contrast to most manufacturing activities, retailing is carried on to some degree in all communities however small. A third of the em ployment in the retail trade study was outside metropolitan areas, and fully a tenth of the employees (640,000) were employed in communities of less than 5,000 population. Regional averages and percent of employees earning less than $1 were: West— $1 .6 8 and 11 percent; Northeast— $1.50 and 18 per cent; North Central— $1 .4 4 and 24 percent; and South— $1.16 and 45 percent. Within each region, earnings were higher in metropolitan areas than in counties not included in such areas and within the latter, Retail trade industries 1 differ among themselves in labor force requirements, methods of wage payment, and other characteris tics that may affect the level and distribution of earnings of the work force. For example, women employees predominate in variety stores, department stores, women's ready-to-wear stores, and drug stores. Men greatly outnumber women in building material and farm equipment * Prepared in the Bureaufs Division of Wages and Industrial Relations. The analytical work was done by L. Earl Lewis, under the supervision of 'xoivo P. Kanninen. Th*e statistical techniques were developed by Samuel E. Cohen and Theodore Golonka. 1 The Standard Industrial Classification Manual (May 1949 edi tion), prepared by the Bureau of the Budget, lists 80 industries under 7 major groups, excluding eating and drinking places which were omit ted from this study. 2 outlets, furniture stores, household appliance and radio stores, and in grocery stores. Many retail employees are paid on the basis of an hourly or salary rate; others work on straight commissions or some combination of base pay plus commission or bonus. women’s ready-to-wear stores are much more highly concentrated in metropolitan areas and in the central cities of these areas than are building materials and farm equipment dealers or gasoline service stations. Occupational requirements in retail trade vary greatly among industries; they also differ within industries, e. g. , as between large and small stores, and self-service and service stores. According to the 1950 Census, about half of all nonsupervisory employment in retail trade were sales em ployees.2 Among the large number of nonselling occupations are the office clerical employees, accountants, pharma cists, decorators, jewelers, cabinetmakers, tailors and seamstresses, bakers, meat cutters, truckdrivers and delivery men, parking attend ants, counter attendants, and porters.3 The accompanying tabulations are designed to permit, in the examination of the wage structures of retail industries, judgment as to the influence of these factors on employee earnings. Sales positions range from those requiring only brief training on the job to those requiring detailed knowledge of product charac teristics and extensive sales training. Differences in requirements among selling jobs within individual industries and establishments may be great, as in department stores, or quite minor, as in variety stores. Even where all the sales persons meet the same requirements, how ever, earnings under commission plans (as in auto sales agencies) may vary greatly among individuals. Variation in customer volume during daily and weekly hours of store operation is met in part by adaptations of work schedules and through employment of part-time salespersons, checkers, cashiers, and others as needed. Labor shortage in particular situations may also be eased by filling ordinarily full-time positions with part-time employees. During the October week studied, 486,000 employees worked less than 15 hours and approximately 1,005,000 employees worked 15 to 34 hours.4 A larger proportion of women than of men were em ployed on a part-time basis. The incidence of part-time employment varied greatly from industry to industry. A third or more of the em ployees in variety stores, grocery stores, shoe stores, and drug stores worked less than 35 hours, as compared with nearly a twentieth in motor vehicle dealer establishments. The various retail trade industries are represented to about the same extent (as measured by relative employment) in each of the four broad regional groupings of States adopted for the study.5 With in each region, however, industries such as department stores and 2 See table 1, appendix A , p. 91. 3 1950 Census of Population, Occupation by Industry, Special Report P -E No. 1C, lists employment in retail trade in 210 or 245 detailed occupations. 4 In addition to employees on part-time schedules, these figures include full-time employees who were absent during part of the week. 5 For definition of regions, see appendix B, p. 97. Average Hourly Earnings Nationwide Earnings. -----The 6 ,0 33,000 nonsupervisory em ployees covered by the study averaged $1.41 an hour, excluding over time premium pay but including commissions or bonuses. An esti mated 10 percent of these employees earned less than 75 cents an hour, 26 percent under $1, and 50 percent under $ 1 .2 5 . About 6 per cent earned $2.50 or more an hour (tables 2 and 3). These data represent the combined information obtained from the many and diverse industries that make up retail trade. As indi cated below, wage levels varied substantially among industry groups and major industries within retail trade (tables 13-19).

Nonsupervisory employees of franchised motor vehicle dealers averaged $1.72 an hour, the highest pay level among the 11 industries examined separately. Next highest averages, about $ 1 .6 0 , were re corded in household appliance and radio stores, furniture and home 3 furnishings stores, and m en’s and boys' clothing stores. Men greatly outnumber women in each of these four industries and commissions play a greater role in determining earnings of individual salesmen than in most of the other industries.6 Grocery stores, accounting for nearly a sixth of all employees in the study, had an average of $ 1 .3 9 , 2 cents below the level for all retail trade. Men outnumber women by 2 to 1 but, in contrast to the higher paying industries surveyed, the commission form of pay is not widely employed for nonsupervisory employees. Shoe stores, with men and women employed in a 3 to 2 ratio, had an average of $ 1 .4 7 . De partment store pay averaged to $1.33 an hour with women greatly outnumbering men (ratio of 5 to 2) in the work force. Gasoline service station employees averaged $ 1 .2 1 , drug store employees averaged $ 1 .2 0 , and women’s ready-to-wear store em ployees averaged $ 1 .1 9 . Approximate ratios of men to women in these industries were 23 to 1, 4 to 5, and 1 to 9, respectively. Variety stores, largely staffed by women, provided average hourly earnings of 89 cents on a nationwide basis. Similarity of general pay levels, as measured by averages, is not necessarily paralleled in distributions of employees by wage classes. Thus, nearly half of the drug store employees earned less than $1 as compared with slightly more than a third in women's readyto-wear stores, and a fourth in gasoline service stations. About oneseventh of the drug store employees, however, as compared with onetwentieth of the employees in the other 2 industries, earned $2 or more an hour. The greater concentration at the higher earnings level in drug stores is largely explained by the numerical importance of pharmacists (with their high earnings) in that industry. Among the major groups of retail trade industries, the pro portions of employees earning less than $1 an hour ranged from 13 per cent in the building materials and farm equipment dealer group to 40 percent in the general merchandise stores group (charts 5 and 8 through 14). The comparatively larger proportion recorded for the general merchandise stores group reflects the inclusion of variety stores which, as previously indicated, employ a work force largely composed of women, many of whom are part-time employees. Thus, nearly 75 percent of the employees of variety stores earned less than $1 an hour as compared with only 26 percent of the employees of department stores. about 24 percent in shoe stores and 17 percent in men’s and boys’ clothing stores. In the automotive dealers and gasoline service sta tions group, the proportions earning less than $ 1 an hour were 25 per cent in gasoline service stations as compared with only 12 percent in motor vehicle dealers. As the tabulation below indicates, both variety stores and drug stores contributed substantially more, proportionately, to em ployment earning less than $1 than they did to the total employment in retail trade.

For retail trade as a group, the largest concentrations in the 5-cent wage intervals used in the study were as follows: $1 and under $1.05— 11 percent, and $1.25 and under $1.30— 6 percent. Similarly, the proportion (30 percent) earning less than $ 1 Among the specific lines of business, the highest degree of earnings concentration was recorded in variety stores; 39 percent of the em recorded for the apparel and accessories stores group reflects dif ferences in wage levels among the specific lines of business compris ployees in these establishments earned from 75 cents to $1 an hour. ing this major group. About 35 percent of the employees of women's The extensive use of time rates and the concentration of employment ready-to-wear stores earned less than $1 an hour compared with only (largely of women) at one general level of job duties and training re quirements were factors contributing to this concentration.

As the tabulation below indicates, these proportions varied among the major industry groups.

Nine percent of the men earned $2.50 or more an hour, whereas less than 1 percent of the women earned as much. Average hourly earnings of men were substantially higher than those of women in all of the major retail industry groups and in each of the specific lines of business for which separate data are provided. These wage differences amounted to 28 cents in grocery stores and to 59 cents an hour in both department and drug stores. The large wage advantage recorded for men in drug stores resulted in part from the fact that most pharmacists are men. A larger proportion of women than of men worked on a parttime basis; work schedules of less than 35 hours a week applied to nearly a third of the women but to only slightly more than a fifth of the men (chart 4). A majority of the men worked more than 40 hours a week, whereas only about a fourth of the women were employed on weekly work schedules in excess of 40 hours. The following table indicates the proportion of men and women within various weekly hours groups and their average hourly earnings. 1 Because of rounding, sums of individual item s do not necessarily equal tota ls. Men The estimated 486,000 retail trade employees working from 1 to 14 hours during the survey week averaged $1.03 an hour, with 46 percent earning less than $1. Approximately 1,005,000 employees (nearly a sixth of the total) worked from 15 to 34 hours and averaged $ 1 .0 8 . An average of $1.55 an hour was recorded for the more than 1,464,000 employees who worked exactly 40 hours. Employees working pnore than 40 hours averaged somewhat less than those working exactly 40 hours. The lower level of earnings recorded for employees working less than 35 hours a week reflects their relative concentration in entrylevel jobs. On the other hand, the comparatively low average recorded for all employees working more than 40 hours is largely due to the disproportionate concentration of those workers in the smaller com munities which usually have lower wage levels than the larger com munities. (See earnings by community size.) For example, com munities of less than 5,000 population accounted for only about a tenth of the total retail trade employment but nearly a fifth of all employees working 48 or more hours. Differences in average hourly earnings by hours worked were generally smaller in individual lines of retailing than in all retail trade combined. Earnings of Men and Women.— Men, accounting for 60 percent of the nonsupervisory employees in retail trade, averaged $ 1 .5 8 an hour compared with $1.11 for women. Individual earnings of men were not only at a higher level but were more widely dispersed than those of women (charts 2 and‘ 6).

Approximately 32 percent of the 6 million employees covered by the study were located in the North Central region, 28 percent in the South, 26 percent in the Northeast, and 14 percent in the West. In each region, men accounted for approximately three-fifths of the total employment, line-of-business patterns were virtually the same, and single-store retailers accounted for approximately 55 percent of the total employment, with more than a fourth in chains of 11 or more stores. The proportion of employment in metropolitan areas, however, ranged from more than four-fifths in the Northeast to only slightly more than a half in the South. 5 Compared with the $ 1 .4 1 recorded for the United States, r e gional average hourly earnings were $ 1 .6 8 in the W est, $ 1 .5 0 in the Northeast, $ 1 .4 4 in the North Central* and $1.16 in the South. Although the South accounted for only 28 percept of the total retail trade em ployment, it accounted for 47 percent of those earning less than $1 and 62 percent of those earning less thap 75 cents an hour (charts 3 and 7). By contrast, the West accounted for 14 percent of the total employment but only 6 percent of those earning less than $1 and 3 per cent of those earning less than 75 cents an hour. In each of the selected industries, average highest in the West and lowest in the South. earnings were A v e r a g e h o u r ly e a r n i n g s in— D e p a r t m e n t s t o r e s _____________________ V a r i e t y s t o r e s ____________________________ G r o c e r y s t o r e s ___________________________ F r a n c h i s e d m o t o r v e h ic le d e a l e r s ___________________________________ G a s o l i n e s e r v i c e s t a t i o n s ____________ M e n ’ s an d b o y s ' c lo th in g s t o r e s _____________________________________ W o m e n 's r e a d y - t o - w e a r s t o r e s ____ S h o e s t o r e s ________________________________ F u r n it u r e a n d h o m e f u r n is h in g s s t o r e s ____________________________________ H o u s e h o ld a p p lia n c e an d r a d io s t o r e s ____________________________________ D ru g s t o r e s and p r o p r ie ta r y N o rth east S outh N o rth C e n tra l W est $ 1 .3 6 .9 7 1 .5 1 $ 1 .1 7 .7 2 1 .1 0 $ 1 .3 7 .9 3 1 .3 7 $ 1 .5 0 1 .0 2 1 .8 1 1 .8 0 1 .3 0 1 .4 4 .9 8 1 .7 7 1 .2 9 2 .0 9 1 .4 7 1 .6 9 1 .3 0 1 .5 7 1 .3 8 .9 6 1 .2 7 1 .5 6 1 .2 0 1 .4 3 1 .7 6 1 .3 7 1 .6 8 1 .6 5 1 .3 3 1 .7 5 1 .8 9 - 1 .7 0 1 .3 6 1 .7 2 1 .8 1 1 .3 5 .9 8 1 .1 9 1 .5 8 Differences in average hourly earnings (in terms of percent ages) for the South and West were greatest in the grocery store g r o u p 71 cents or 65 percent— and in drug stores where they amounted to 60 cents or 61 percent. Smallest interregional wage spreads (about 28 percent) between the South and the West were found in department stores and m en's and boys' clothing stores. Averages for the North east exceeded those for the North Central region in most of these industries. Earnings by Community Size. ----Stores and auxiliary units were also classified according to location in metropolitan areas or in coun ties 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 ,0 0 0 or more and under 5 ,0 0 0 population in the case of nonmetropolitan area counties (tables 4 -9 ) . Nationwide, two-thirds of the employment was concentrated in m etro politan areas— mostly in central cities. In the nonmetropolitan coun tie s, employment in communities of 5 ,0 0 0 or more population was more than double that in smaller communities. The relationship between community size and employee hourly earnings for all retail trade can be noted from the averages and the proportions earning less than $1 as shown in the following tabulation. Straighttime average hourly earnings Metropolitan areas Central cities __________________________ Communities other than central cities Nonmetropolitan areas _ . __ Communities of 5,000 or more __ _ Communities of less than 5,000 __ Percent earning less than $ 1 an hour $1.50 1.48 20 22 1.56 17 1.22 1.28 39 36 1.11 43 Although a generally sim ilar 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 5 to 1; in the South, however, the ratio was 6 to 5 with alm ost as many employees employed in non metropolitan areas as in metropolitan a reas. Average earnings in each industry were substantially higher in metropolitan areas than in nonmetropolitan area counties, with centsper-hour differences ranging from 45 cents in franchised motor vehicle dealers to 13 cents in department stores. Furthermore, in the non metropolitan area counties wage levels were consistently lower in communities of less than 5 ,0 0 0 population than those in the larger communities.

In 6 industries, higher earnings' levels were recorded in other (sm aller) communities within metropolitan areas; the greatest difference (15 cents) was found in the drug store industry. Pay relationships between these community groupings varied greatly among regions. In grocery stores, for example, employees in central cities averaged 10 cents higher pay in the Northeast and 3 cents more in the North Central region. In the South and W est, however, averages for other than central cities were 9 and 8 cents higher. In gasoline service stations, for which nationwide averages were identical, differences within regions ranged up to 17 cents— in favor of employees working in central cities in the South. Earnings by Number of Stores Operated by Company. — Nation wide, approximately 55 percent of the nonsupervisory employment in October 1956 was accounted for by single-store retailers (table 10). Employers operating 2 or 3 stores accounted for 10 percent of all retail trade employment, 4 - to 1 0 -store firm s accounted for 7 percent, and chains of 11 or more stores accounted for 27 percent. This pattern also held, with only minor variations within each of the four broad regions. Differences in employee earnings between these store group ings were relatively minor on an all retail trade b a sis. Nationwide averages for these store groupings were as follows: Single stores— $ 1 .4 1 , 2 to 3 stores—^ $ 1 .4 7 , 4 to 10 stores— $ 1 .4 2 , and 11 or more stores— $ 1 .3 8 . However, as the following tabulation indicates, average earnings in individual industries were usually higher in the larger chains than in the single-store group. Comparisons have been limited to industries in which each of the 2 - store groupings accounts for 10 percent or m ore of the employment.

The earnings advantage held by chain store employees amounted to 6 to 10 cents in 4 industries in cluding the variety store industry. Averages for the two groups were about the same in drug stores. In household appliance and radio stores, employees of single-store enterprises earned the higher pay. Among the industries studied separately, the earnings1 levels in the 2 -t o -3 and 4 -to -1 0 stores groups were generally in an inter mediate position between those in the single stores and the larger chains. These observations based on nationwide data were generally consistent among the regions, although some exceptions were noted. Averages for retail trade as a group typically do not m irror the general pattern observed for the specific industries largely be cause of the dissim ilar manner In which these industries with varying wage levels contribute to the different store groupings. Thus, the comparatively low wage variety stores group accounted for 16 percent of the employment in the 11 -o r -m o r e -s to r e s group, but less than 1 percent of that in single stores; in alm ost direct contrast, the rela tively high-wage motor vehicle group accounted for 15 percent of the employment in the single-stores group but for less than 1 percent in the 11 -o r -m o r e -s to r e s group. Companies operating 11 or more stores accounted for 85 per cent of the employment in variety stores and nearly half the employ ment in department stores, grocery stores, and shoe stores. In the other selected industries, employment was predominantly concentrated in single-store companies. P art-tim e employees accounted for a larger proportion of em ployment in chains operating 11 or more stores than in the other store groups; 30 percent in this group worked from 1 to 34 hours a week— compared with 22 to 25 percent in the other 3 store groupings. Average Weekly Earnings Individual weekly earnings were m ore widely dispersed than hourly earnings. Approximately 8 percent of the retail trade em ployees worked from 1 to 14 hours during the survey week and av eraged $ 9 .6 5 ; at the other extrem e, employees working 49 or more hours averaged $ 7 2 .9 0 a week. Employees working exactly 40 hours during the survey week accounted for nearly a fourth of the total work force and averaged $ 6 2 .0 9 for the period (table 12). Regionally, average weekly earnings of employees working exactly 40 hours ranged from $ 5 1 .2 8 in the South to $ 7 0 .4 6 in the W est. In the metropolitan areas, a 40-hour-w eek retail trade em ployee averaged $ 6 4 .3 1 or approximately $10 more than his counter part in the nonmetropolitan area counties. 7 Relationship Between Mean and Median Averages A ll group averages previously referred to in this report were obtained by dividing total weekly earnings by total weekly hours. A comparison of the averages computed in this way with the medians of individual hourly earnings reveals two features of the earnings dis tribution. F ir st, practically all distributions are skewed to the right; that is , the hours-weightedm ean value exceeds the mid-point or median value. (See table 2, appendix A .) This is due to the greater amounts by which the earnings of some of the higher paid workers exceed the general earnings lev el. This feature is apparent even in those dis tributions limited to employees working the same number of hours as shown by the data for the 4 0 - and 48-hour groups where the mean ex ceeds the median by 15 and 10 cents, respectively. The distribution of employees in all hours-worked classes combined shows the other feature of the distributions, which is the effect on the mean of weighting the earnings by hours worked. Since the workers with the shortest hours are also generally those receiving the lowest hourly rate, their inclusion in a composite distribution with employees working longer hours has much less effect on the median than on the weighted mean inasmuch as the former is not weighted by hours worked as is the latter. Differences between mean and median hourly averages varied considerably among the specific lines of business for which separate data were obtained, ranging from only 2 cents for variety stores to 24 cents for m en's and b o y s' clothing stores. The small difference recorded for variety stores reflects the large concentration of earnings in the lower class intervals and the alm ost complete absence of earn ings in the higher class intervals. In general, industries with the largest differences were those in which comparatively high individual earnings were made possible through the payment of com m issions. Discount privileges are widespread in many retail trade in dustries. A 1950 study of wages in department and women's readyto-w ear stores, conducted in 17 large cities throughout the country, indicates that all except 1 of the 158 stores visited had provisions permitting their employees to purchase merchandise at less than retail p r ic e s .7 Discounts generally varied from 10 to 20 percent and were usually more liberal on wearable merchandise than on other types. It was common practice among the stores to extend merchandise dis counts to immediate m embers of the em ployee's fam ily. Form alized provisions for paid vacations, paid holidays, and various types of health, insurance, and retirement pension benefits are important features of the wage structures of retail industries, especially among the larger em ployers. Comprehensive studies of wages and related practices among larger establishments (51 or more em ployees), conducted in major labor markets during 1956 and 1 9 5 7 ,8 indicate that virtually all of the retail trade establishment s studied provided paid vacations and paid holidays. The most common vacation provisions for nonoffice employees were: A week's vacation after 1 year of service, 2 weeks after 2 y ears, and 3 weeks after 15 years of serv ice. Vacation provisions for office employees were somewhat more liberal. The number of paid holidays provided office and non office employees varied somewhat among the various cities, usually ranging from 5 to 7. Included among the more frequent types of in surance plans, paid for at least in part by the em ployer, were life insurance, accidental death and dismem berment, hospitalization, surgi cal, and medical insurance. A majority of the workers in most of the cities were employed in establishments that also provided sickness and accident insurance and/or sick leave and retirement pensions. Supplementary Wage Benefits Although the survey was not designed to provide information on supplementary wage benefits, studies previously conducted by the Bureau give some detail with respect to the more prevalent of these practices. 7 See Wage Structure: Department and Women's R eady-to-W ear Stores, 1950 (BLS Series 2, No. 78). 8 See Wages and Related Benefits, 17 Labor M arkets, 1956-57 (BLS Bull. 1202). 8 Chart 2.

Retail trade, as de fined in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, includes es tablishments primarily engaged in selling merchandise for personal, household, or farm consumption. Excluded from retail trade are places of business operated by membership clubs and open only to their own members, and establishments operated by governmental agencies. Survey coverage extended to the 48 States and the District of Columbia. Data obtained relate to a representative payroll period end ing nearest October 15, 1956. Minor deviations from this payroll date were made for some establishments in order to avoid the inclusion of holidays (e. g ., Columbus Day) in the payroll period covered. cordance 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 groups in retail trade, and for some specific lines of business. Thus, the sample size for lines of business shown separately was proportionately larger than for lines of business not published separately. The table below indicates the number of units included in the Bureau's sample according to those groups and industries for which separate data are published. The sample used in the retail trade study as a whole was selected from three different sources: 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 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. Sampling and Collection Procedure The survey was conducted on a sample basis. Data were obtained from about 28,000 stores and auxiliary units, selected in ac 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.

West 94 The 110 chains in this class were visited by Bureau rep resentatives who explained the nature of the sample and the informa tion needed. Actual compilation of the data was done by the com panies in the bulk of the cases. About 8,000 units were selected from these large companies. 2. State Unemployment Compensation Insurance Listings.— The most currently available listings of the State Unemployment In surance (UI) agencies provided the basis for selecting the largest number of sample units. After units belonging to the large chains referred to on page 93, 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 sampling ratios varied by line of business and region and in creased with employment size— all units of 500 or more employees were included. All units thus selected and having 1,000 or more em ployees were visited by Bureau representatives. About 1,800 units were included in this part of the sample. The bulk of the respondents in this group were large urban department stores which were not con sidered as chains in the sampling design, even where a number of store units were under common ownership. The remainder of the units selected from unemployment compensation lists were included in a mail canvass. A sample of those not replying to two mail requests was visited by Bureau repre sentatives. Altogether, about 13,000 stores were covered in this group. 3. Single-Unit Stores With Fewer Than Eight Employees.---Data for single-unit stores with fewer than eight employees were col lected by the Bureau of the Census as a supplement to its monthly survey of retail trade. Two monthly samples of such stores were used, totaling about 5,000 stores. Estimating Procedure 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 con sidered as representing it and 9 other stores. Thus, each segment of the retail trade industry was given its appropriate weight in the total, despite the inclusion of all large stores and only a relatively small proportion of small stores. All estimated totals derived from this weighting process were further adjusted to the employment levels (6,700,000 employees) for October 1956, as reported in the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly employment series after excluding eating and drinking places. The totals published 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 lines of business regional groups presented in this report, the totals in the Bureau^ employment series were broken down on the basis of the line of business 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 Manufacturers were used. 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 UI 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. Problems of Nonresponse In that part of the survey conducted by mail canvass, the response rate was about 53 percent. About 30 percent of the remainder were followed up by personal visit, the ratio varying by kind of busi ness. Analysis of the results showed that within each kind of business regional class, the schedules obtained by personal visit averaged slightly less in earnings than those replying by mail. Estimates for the nonrespondent population as made from the field followup, there fore, carried larger weights than those received by mail. 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 compen sate for the loss of these schedules, their weight was assigned to usable schedules in the same kind of business in the same or related areas. In the part of the survey done by mail or personal visit to the nonrespondents thereto, the weight of unusable schedules and of 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. 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 maybe sub stantial in those instances where the sample was small; it has not been possible, therefore, to present distributions and averages for all cases. 95 The following general criteria have been followed: 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 shown for situations with less than 30 stores. 3. No published segment, regardless of number of stores involved, contains data from fewer than 10 distinct em ployers. Department Stores (industry 531) .— These stores carry a gen eral line of apparel and home furnishings in addition to other lines of merchandise, normally arranged in separate sections or departments. Establishments included in this industry typically employ 25 or more p erso n s. Variety Stores (Industry 533) .---- These stores are prim arily engaged in selling a variety of merchandise in the low and popular price ranges. These stores frequently are known as "5 and 10 cent" stores and "5 cents to a d o lla r" stores, although merchandise is usually sold outside these price ranges. Kind of Business Covered Food Stores (Major Group 54) The study was designed to provide separate information for major retail industry groups as well as for selected specific lines of business within these broad groups. Thus, each establishment was classified according to its major group as well as its specific line of business. It should be noted that kind of business classifications were based on the predominant type of retail activity (measured by annual dollar receipts) in those instances in which m ore than one type of business activity was carried on by the establishment. Thus, re spondents to the study were requested to indicate the type of retail activity accounting for more than half of the establishm ent^ annual dollar receipts. "N o n sto re" (see definition on page 96) retail establish ments were also classified on this basis and are included in their appropriate groups. Eating and drinking places were excluded from the study. Employees of such establishments frequently receive tips and/ or free m e als. A study of such earnings would have involved techniques dif ferent from those employed in this report. business follow s. A brief description of each major group and specific line of for which separate data are provided in this report is as Building M aterials and Farm Equipment Dealers (Major Group 52) This major group includes retail establishments selling lum b er, building m aterials, and basic lines of hardware. This group also includes farm equipment dealers. Establishments in the group sell to contractors as well as to the general public. General Merchandise Stores (Major Group 53) This major group includes retail stores which sell a number of lines of merchandise, such as dry goods, apparel and a c c e sso r ie s, furniture and home furnishings, small w ares, hardware, and food. The stores included in this group are known as department stores, variety stores, dry-goods stores, general stores, etc. Mail order houses in the general merchandise field are also included. This major group includes retail establishments prim arily en gaged in selling food for home preparation and consumption. Estab lishments prim arily engaged in selling prepared food and drinks for consumption on their own prem ises are classified as eating and drinking places and have been excluded from this study. Stores prim arily en gaged in selling packaged beers and liquors are classified as "liquor s to r e s " and included in major group 59, miscellaneous retail stores. Dairies which processed and bottled milk and cream were included in this major group if the major portion of their sales was by route delivery to the homes of consum ers. This is in conformance with the 1949 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual. Subsequent action of the Bureau of the Budget has classified these establishments as manufacturing indu stries, effective January 1958.

Drug Stores and Proprietary Stores (Industry 591) . — Stores classified in this group are included on the basis of their usual trade designation rather than on the more strict interpretation of commodities handled. Included are establishments prim arily engaged in selling at retail any combination of such lines of merchandise as prescription drugs, cosm etics, toiletries, patent m edicines, tobacco, and novelty merchandise, either with or without the operation of a soda fountain or lunch counter. Nonstore Retailers Nonstore retailers are distinguished by the fact that the cus tomer does not make his purchases at the establishment site. Instead, the purchase is made at the custom er’s house, at the site of another business establishment, or by mail order. The three types of retail establishments in which customer purchases are made in this manner are door-to-door distributors, operators of merchandise vending machines, and m ail-order houses. These establishments were classified in one of the major "s t o r e ” type groups on the basis of the commodities handled. 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 term s 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 included, whereas employees of establishments classified as prim arily eating places were excluded. When two or more activities were carried on at a single loca tion by separate business entities, each entity was treated as an e s tablishment. 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 sepa rate 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 Em ployees.— The term "nonsupervisory em ployees, fT~as—uaeT^ir^bI¥~reporT7~in eludes all full-tim e and part-tim e employees such as salespersons, shipping and receiving clerks, stock clerks, lab orers, warehousemen, caretakers, office clerks, d rivers, 97 driv er-sa lesm en , installation and repair men, dem onstrators, 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 lev el. 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 le ss 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 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 em ployee during the selected week ending nearest October 15, 1956. Weeks containing nonworking holidays or other irregular work sched ules were avoided. Regions. — The regions used in this study are: Northeast-— Connecticut, Maine, M assachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont; South— Alabam a, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Ken tucky, Louisiana, Maryland, M ississip p i, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia; North Central— Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, M is souri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin; West---- A rizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New M exico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Metropolitan A r e a s . ----The term ’’metropolitan a r e a " used in this report refers to the Standard Metropolitan A reas established under the sponsorship of the Bureau of the Budget. Central cities of m etro politan areas include the largest city (over 50 ,0 0 0 inhabitants by de finition of the term metropolitan area) and all other cities in the area with a population of 2 5 ,000 or m o re, 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 "comm unities other than central c i t i e s ." Nonmetropolitan A r e a s . — A ll communities not in a m etropoli tan area were classified as to their population according to the 1950 census— those with 5 ,0 0 0 or m ore 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 m ore) rather than the 6 (4 to 10) operated by the subsidiary.
