N e w Weekly Pay Figures
for Mining and Contract Construction
Rudolph
With this issue the Bureau of Labor S t a
tistics is adding several new series to its
w e e k l y e a r n i n g s figures.
Gro s s earni n g s
data are now available for the 700,000 production-worker jobs in the mining division.
Auxiliary measures of weekly pay for workers
in th e m i n i n g a n d c o n t r a c t c o n s t r u c t i o n
division, c o m p a r a b l e with figures already
p u b l i s h e d for f a c t o r y workers, h a v e a l s o
been developed.
T hese additional measures
are real earnings, spendable earnings, and
real spendable earnings. Annual averages of
these new data beginning with 1947 are shown
in table 1. Monthly averages are available
for current periods in tables C-5 and C-6 and
on request from January 1947 forward.
and trade.
Inadequate samples are being aug
mented as far as possible in these divisions,
and earnings data will be published as samples
for the various unpublished parts reach the
desired levels. When data are completed for
all divisions, a composite figure representing
weekly earnings in all nonfarm activities can
be published.
But there are obstacles in the way of a
single nonfarm figure. For example, in fi
nance, insurance, and real estate, where the
earnings figures now published represent only
60 percent of the nonsupervisory workers in
the division, the chief problem is with the
insurance and real estate industries. Here,
small establishments predominate, and it is
difficult to collect current monthly data from
enough firms to maintain representative sam
ples. In the transportation and public utili
ties division, also with 60-percent current
coverage, a difficulty arises from method of
payment, particularly in connection with water
and air t r a n s p o r t a t i o n where payments are
based on voyage or flight rather than a speci
fic time period.
With the introduction of these figures
some important gaps in the Bureau's employment,
hours, and earnings program for the three in
dustry divisions comprising the goods-producing
sector of the n o n f a r m eco n o m y are closed.
Users of BLS data now have available a set of
comparable statistics showing total e mploy
ment, production-worker (as well as construction-worker) employment, average hourly earn
ings, weekly hours, and weekly earnings, with
the weekly earnings figures adjusted for price
changes and tax deduction.
In addition, fig
ures are already available showing aggregate
man-hours and seasonally adjusted employment
for the three goods-producing industry divi
sions.
Another industry division in which special
problems have been encountered is the service
and miscellaneous industry, where only about
15 percent of total nonsupervisory employment
is currently represented in published weekly
pay statistics. Here again— especially among
barber, beauty, and valet shops, the numerous
automotive busi n e s s e s such as parking lots
and repair shops, and professional services,
among others — small establishments are common.
Problems in Obtaining Weekly Pay Data for All
Nonfarm Industry Divisions
For some time the Bureau of Labor Statis
tics has sought to develop a weekly pay figure
for each nonfarm industry division. However,
earnings data are not yet available for parts
of five industry divisions. Theseare: finance,
insurance, and real estate; transportation
and public utilities; service; government;
C. M e n d e l s s o h n
In the government division, the barriers
lie not in the collection of payroll data but
in their classification into categories com
parable with private industry. Payroll data

nonsupervisory, production, or construction

worker in other industry divisions, are not
readily available in records of local, State,
and Federal Government agencies.
Although a figure for all of the trade
division is not available, weekly earnings
representing most of the division can be o b
tained from earnings data published in table
C-5, weighted by the nonsupervisory e m p l o y
ment figures shown in table A-8. These weekly
pay data cover nearly 9 million (over 85 per
cent) of the n o n s u pervisory workers in the
wholesale and retail trade lines.
Trade is nearly fully covered, but earnings
for workers in eating and drinking places are
not included because a large share of these
earnings are gratuities, for which no reliable
information is available.
In view of these difficulties, a composite
n onfarm figure, available monthly as an i n
tegral part of the Bureau's current e m p l o y
ment, hours, and e a r n i n g s program, is not
likely to be developed without substantially
increased resources.

added, in terms of purchasing power, $24 or
38 percent over the period.
In the trade
lines, the nonsupervisory worker gained an
average of $25 or 57 percent by 1957. Adjusted
for price changes, however, this increase was
reduced to $11.54 or 25 percent.
(See tables
2 and 3.)
Over the 11-year span there was some shift
ing of position in the ranking of industries
according to annual average weekly earnings.
In 1947, construction workers averaged about
50 cents less a week than production workers
in mining, the leading industry at that time.
By 1957, however, the weekly pay of construc
tion workers had a dvanced to nearly $ 1 0 7 —
about $4 more than the weekly pay of workers
in mining.
(See table 2.)
Spendable Earnings
The purchasing power of a worker's earn
ings is diminished not only by i n c r e a s e s in
the cost of goods and services purchased, but
also by deductions before he receives his pay
check. The largest of these is the withhold
ing of Federal income tax payments; also uni
versal is the deduction for Federal old age
and survivors insurance. Since the amount of
income tax money withheld by the company pay
master depends on the number of persons sup
ported by the wage earner, some assumptions
regarding the number of dependents must be
made to assess take-home earnings.
In co m
puting spendable earnings of factory workers,
the BLS has p r e p a r e d two fig u r e s from the
average gross weekly earnings for all workers.
One figu r e a s s u m e s that the a v e r a g e wage
earner has 3 de p e n d e n t s (say a w i f e and 2
children), and the other assumes that he has
no d e p e n d e n t s .
This a d j u s t m e n t doe s n o t
c h a n g e the r e l a t i v e p o s i t i o n of i n d u s t r y
earnings levels.
(See table 4.)
Weekly Earnings in 1947-49 Dollars
When changes in price levels are taken
into account, the average "real" weekly earn
ings in each of the four industries has risen
by only about half as much as the unadjusted
increase.
Reduction of average gross weekly pay by
price increases does not change the ranking
or relati o n s h i p of industries a c c o rding to
level of pay or amount of gain, since a single
price index is used to deflate all earnings
figures. Construction workers, who registered
the largest dollar gain— $45 or 74 p e r c e n t -

Lagging business activity, particularly in durable
goods Industries, accounted for the major part of the
unusually sharp employment decline. Extremely cold
weather accompanied by snow contributed to the curtail
ment In construction and other outdoor work.
The are rage workweek in manufacturing in February
remained relatively unchanged at the low level of 38-5
hours. Average hourly earnings of factory workers were
steady at $2.10 per hour.
Durable goods Employment Down Sharply
Employment in manufacturing declined by 300,000
over the month to 15.6 million in February, with most
of the reduction occurring in Industries producing hard
goods. Particularly sharp declines were reported in
primary and fabricated metals, transportation equip
ment, and the machinery industries. Sizable employment
cutbacks continued in automobile plants, and aircraft
manufacturing employment again declined slightly, al
though s o b s aircraft firms reported Increases in
hiring. Some of the Job reductions in metal producing
and metal working industries resulted from lower auto
mobile production. Moderate employment declines con
tinued in nondurable goods industries.
Compared with a year ago, there were l.k million
fewer jobs In manufacturing, with five-sixths of the
decline in durable goods Industries.
Honmanufacturlng
Contract construction employment was down by
200,000 over tbs month, considerably more than usual,
with general declines apparent throughout the industry.
Some of the drop was caused by particularly bad weather
in most parts of the country. The decline of 150,000
In trade employment was mostly seasonal. Contraseasonal cutbacks were reported in transportation and
mining activities. Employment held steady, however, in
finance, service, and Government activities, and re
mained above year-ago levels In these areas as well as
in trade.
Factory Workweek at 36*5 lours
Hours of work in manufacturing showed almost no
change over the month. At 38.5 hours, the workweek was
at its lowest February level since before World War II.
A larger than seasonal decline in hours occurred
in the stone, clay, and glass Industry (mainly in con
crete products) as a result of bad weather and the
curtailment of construction activities. There were
also greater than seasonal declines In the workweek in
furniture factories and machinery plants. Weekly over
time hours were little changed at the low level of 1.6
hours per week.
Earnings Steady in February
Average hourly earnings remained unchanged at
$2.10 between January and February. Weekly earnings,
at $80.85, were only slightly below the January level
as a result of the fractional decline in the workweek.
Compared with a year ago, factory hourly earnings
were up by 5 cents, but weekly earnings declined by
$1.56 because of the shorter workweek. The largest
cuts in weekly earnings over the year occurred in pri
mary metals ($3*91) *nd in transportation equipment
($3* 5*0* Earnings In petroleum and ordnance were up
by $3.95 snd $*.52 respectively.

U Derived by assuming that the overtime hours shown in table C - 2 are paid at the rate of time and one-half.
2J
Average hourly earnings, excluding overtime, are not available separately for the printing, publishing, and
allied industries group, as graduated overtime rates are found to an extent likely to make average overtime pay
significantly above time and one-half.
Inclusion of data for the group in the nondurable-goods total has little
effect.
