Federal White-Collar Workers
Their Occupations and Salaries, June 1951

T he F ederal G overnment, in discharging its
diversified responsibilities for public service, em­
ployed around 900,000 white-collar workers on
June 30, 1951. These workers were employed in
more than 450 different administrative, profes­
sional, and technical occupations. They comprised
about 40 percent of all civilian employees in the
Government’s Executive Branch in continental
United States,1 and were located in all parts of the
country. Only about a fifth were stationed in
Washington, D. C. Among the 60 Federal agen­
cies having white-collar workers on their payrolls,
the Department of the Army and the Veterans
Administration employed the largest numbers.
Many Federal employees are in occupations,
such as the stenographer and typist categories,
which are common to all agencies and comparable
to similar positions in private industry. Certain
other jobs are found only in one or two Depart­
ments or Bureaus and are, in some cases, unique to
Government—for example, those of lighthouse
engineer and patent and trade-mark interference
examiner. The largest single occupational cate­
gory in June 1951 was clerk-typist, with about
111,000 workers. On the other hand, some occu­
pational series including zoology, ethnology, meat
technology, and traffic engineering, had fewer than
25 persons each.
The effect of the defense program on Federal
employment is evident when 1951 and 1947 em­
ployment data are compared. The total number of
white-collar workers increased by a third over the
4-year period. Growth in such occupations as




meteorology, physics, electronics, mathematics,
cartography, engineering, and various inspection
functions was a direct result of expanded defense
activities.
Annual salaries of all white-collar Federal em­
ployees averaged $3,700 as of June 30, 1951. How­
ever, salaries varied considerably by occupation.
In a few small professional and administrative
categories they averaged more than $8,000 annu­
ally, but in some of the largest occupations, such as
typist and hospital attendant, the averages were
under $2,600.
Data presented in this report are from a special
occupational survey of Federal employment made
by the United States Civil Service Commission,
as of June 30, 1951,2 and from hitherto unpub­
lished information obtained by a similar survey
made in 1947. Results of an earlier survey on
employment in the Government, by occupation,
made in 1938, were published in the January 1941
Monthly Labor Review.

(i)

1 The total given excludes “blue-collar” employees in crafts (trade and man­
ual) , protective, and custodial positions, and employees whose wages are fixed
by wage boards and who work mainly at military installations.
2 In the 1951 survey, the Civil Service Commission requested all Federal
agencies to report the number of full-time employees who were on their rolls
in Classification Act positions inside continental United States on June 30,
1951. Employees were reported by series and grade, by the <30agencies which
had such employees. Reports were also requested for large white-collar
groups not subject to the Classification Act of 1949. The survey did not
cover postal workers, but only about 10,000 other employees in full-time
white-collar positions were omitted. Among the excluded groups were
Foreign Service employees stationed temporarily in this country; teachers at
Howard University, Columbia Institute for the Deaf, and the military
academies; White House and National Park Police; milk market inspectors
of the Agriculture Department; commissioned officers of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey; and agency and bureau heads.

Occupational Distribution

Positions in the Federal Service are classified
according to the field of work and also according to
the grade level of the position. The Civil Service
Commission has set up occupational categories or
series, which have titles that refer to the field of
work—for example, labor economist or engineering
aid. Each series includes a number of grades of
positions, based on the difficulty and responsibility
of the work. These grades may be thought of as
steps in the usual line of promotion. Jobs of
comparable difficulty and responsibility have the
same grade in all series.
The Civil Service Commission has also arranged
the 450 white-collar series in 19 major occupa­
tional groups, which represent broad areas of
related work. Statistics are here presented for
these major groups and for some of the more
important occupational series.
About half of all the Government’s white-collar
employees were classified in the general adminis­
trative, clerical, and office services group (see
table 1). This group included the army of
typists, stenographers, and secretaries—number­



ing more than 200,000 in 1951. Also included
were more than 72,000 workers engaged in pro­
curement, property and stock control, storage, and
other activities having to do with the provision of
supplies for the Government, and nearly 30,000
operators of tabulating, bookkeeping, and other
office machines. At least 10,000 employees in the
group operated communication equipment, chiefly
as telephone operators and telegraphic typewriter
operators.
The accounting and fiscal group, the second
largest major occupational group, included only 8
percent of all Federal white-collar employees in
1951. More than a third of the accounting and
fiscal workers had clerical jobs in the series desig­
nated as “ accounting and fiscal clerical” ; they
performed duties pertaining to the receipt and
disbursement of funds collected, appropriated, or
held in trust by the Federal Government. The
next largest single accounting and fiscal occupa­
tion—internal revenue agent—included 7,704 em­
ployees (table 2). The major group also included
about 8,500 other professional accountants dis­
tributed among various occupational categories.
Engineering and related occupations formed the
third largest major group. About 47,000 em­
ployees in this group were in professional engineer­
ing categories, and the remaining 24,000 were in
other types of positions, notably that of engineer­
ing aid. Professional engineers—the largest pro­
fessional group in Government employment—
comprised about an eighth of all such engineers
in the country. The numbers employed in
different engineering specialties were as follows:

Naval architecture___________________ 1, 239

Other_______________________________ 10,711

The medical, hospital, dental, and public-health
group likewise included both professional and
subprofessional personnel. Physicians, dentists,

3
nurses, and other professional workers represented
only about 42 percent, while hospital attendants
made up a slightly higher proportion (44 percent).
Technicians of various types constituted the
remainder of the group.
Government inspectors and investigators com­
prised the fifth largest among the major occupa­
tional groups shown in table 1. Included were
employees in such specialties as tax collection;
criminal investigation; construction, customs, and
food inspection; as well as several thousand general
investigators.
All other major occupational groups together
constituted only about a fifth of all white-collar
workers in the agencies covered by the survey.
However, many of the Government’s professional
workers were in these broad occupational cate­
gories. The physical sciences group had the
largest number of professional employees (16,346),
headed by chemistry, with 4,346 workers, and
physics, with 3,067. The Federal Government
employed about a fifth of all physicists in the
country; on the other hand, less than 1 chemist
in 20 was in Federal employment. Other impor­
tant physical-science occupations included elec­
tronic research, meteorology, and geology. Sizable
numbers of biological scientists (15,300), lawyers
(11,784), and social scientists (9,693) were also
employed. Of extreme importance in carrying
on the work of the Government, but numbering
only from 1,000 to 2,000 in each case, were such
workers as mathematicians, statisticians, librar­
ians, and veterinarians. Workers in all profes­
sional occupations taken together totaled 161,500
in 1951—18 percent of all Federal white-collar
employees.
Comparison of 1951 and Earlier Data

Employment in the Federal Government varied
considerably from the late 1930’s to 1951, prima­
rily in response to changes in the international
situation. Total civilian employment in the
Executive Branch in continental United States
rose from less than a million before 1940 to an
all-time high of about 3 million in June 1943, the
middle of World War II. A postwar decline ip
employment continued until December 1947, when
there were 1,766,000 Federal employees. Between
that date and June 1950, employment fluctuated
between 1.8 and 1.9 million. After the attack on



Korea and initiation of the current defense pro­
gram, it began to rise again—reaching 2,313,000
by June 1951.3
During this period, three surveys of the occu­
pations of Government workers were conducted—
for 1938, 1947,4 and 1951. So many changes in
occupational classifications were made after 1938,
however, that only limited comparisons are possi­
ble between the 1938 data and the two later sur­
veys. Occupations for which approximately
comparable figures are available for the three
periods include the following:

Stenographers, typists, and

From 1938 to 1947, employment in all but one
of these occupations expanded at about the same
rate as total civilian Government employment—
around 100 percent. The exception was the
stenographer, typist, and secretary group, in
which employment tripled from 1938 to 1947.
The annual rate of growth in the other four occu­
pations was greater in the 4-year period 1947 to
1951 than in the earlier 9-year period.
Although the 1947 survey differs slightly in
coverage from the 1951 survey, an analysis of
employment changes in major occupational groups
and in some specific occupational categories is
possible. The total number of white-collar em­
ployees increased by nearly a third over the 4-year
period, as a result of the defense program. During
the same period, total white-collar employment in
the Defense Department rose 73 percent.
3 U. S. Civil Service Commission, Monthly Reports of Employment.
4 The 1938 study was made as of December 31, 1938. It was based on a
25-percent sample of service records of Federal employees on file at the Civil
Service Commission. All positions were divided into 8 major occupational
groups and 117 occupations or minor groups, which included postal employ­
ees and trade, manual, and service workers. Results of the study were
published in the January 1941 issue of the Monthly Labor Review.
The June 1947 survey, hitherto unpublished, was made by the Civil Service
Commission to determine its examining workload in converting from warservice appointments to permanent civil-service appointments at the end of
World War II. While the 1947 survey did not have exactly the same coverage
as the 1951 survey, it is believed the figures from the two studies are reasonably
comparable for most occupational series. Chief differences in coverage are
that employees of TVA, AEC, and the Department of Medicine and Surgery
of the Veterans Administration were excluded from the 1947 survey. Some
occupational groups were, therefore, more affected than others; for example,
the numbers of engineering and medical employees as shown by the 1947
survey were probably understated to a greater extent than employment in
other groups.

4
The occupations which showed the greatest
numerical increase in employment from 1947 to
1951 were those in the general administrative
and clerical category—an addition of about 80,000
employees. Because of the large number of
administrative and clerical workers in 1947, this
rise in employment was only about 22 percent—
smaller proportionally than the increase in all
Federal white-collar employment. Administra­
tive and clerical workers constituted 54 percent of
the total number of white-collar employees in
1947, but only 49 percent in 1951 (table 1).
Some of the other major groups, which have
fewer workers and are made up largely of defenseconnected occupations, had a much greater rate
of growth over the 4-year period. In physicalscience occupations, for example, employment
increased by 80 percent, with the greatest rise
in the fields of meteorology and physics. Much
of the increased employment in inspection and
investigation occupations also can be accounted
for by defense-connected activities. This group,
accounting for only 3.5 percent of all white-collar
employees in 1947, claimed 6.3 percent of the
total number in 1951. The rise was due primarily
to increased employment in tax collection, crim­
inal investigation, immigration patrol inspection,
and inspection of food, construction, and ammuni­
tion. Employment in the business and industry
group also rose considerably, chiefly from the
addition of many industrial and production
specialists and commodity-industry analysts in
defense agencies such as the National Production
A dm inistration and the Office of Price
Stabilization.

small copyright, patent, and trade-mark group—
were the majority of workers in the Washington
area.
Agency Distribution

The predominance of defense activities in the
work of the Federal Government is indicated by
the relative numbers of workers employed in
different agencies in mid-1951. More than 40
percent of all white-collar employees were in the
Department of Defense and its three component
departments. The Department of the Army,
which alone employed 22 percent, was by far the
largest employing agency. The Veterans Admin­
istration was next largest followed in order by the
Departments of the Navy, the Treasury, the Air
Force, and Agriculture.
Certain occupations, mainly those of an admin­
istrative or clerical nature, are common to all
Government agencies. Every agency has “house­
keeping” functions such as operating personnel
offices, providing space and supplies for employees,
keeping payroll and leave records, and accounting
for expenditures. All agencies also require the
services of typists, stenographers, and clerks.
In contrast to these large occupational groups,
the smaller and more specialized occupations
reflect the functions of the agencies in which they
are found. For example, the Department of
Defense employed over half the workers in the
engineering group. The Army alone used nearly
3.000 civil engineers and twice as many engineer­
ing aids and draftsmen to carry out the Corps of
Engineers’ civil works program, and such services
as mapping and research. The Navy employed
large numbers of mechanical engineers (2,525),

1 Excludes 29,092 employees for whom grade was not specified.
* Less than 0.05 percent.

The Department of Agriculture employed
approximately four-fifths of the employees in the
biological-sciences group in such activities as soil
conservation and forest and range fire control.
Next largest employer of biological scientists was
the Department of the Interior, which had about
2,700 working in such occupations as park ranger,
range management and conservation, forestry,
fish culture, and wildlife management and research.
Workers in the broad physical sciences group
were employed chiefly in research laboratories of
the Navy (5,420), the Army (3,260), the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (2,180), and
the Weather Bureau and National Bureau of
Standards in the Department of Commerce

3 Excludes 18,636 employees (mainly professional personnel) for whom
grade was not specified.

(4,682).6 The majority of workers in electronic
research, development, and testing, more than half
of the physicists, and most of the specialists in
nautical science and astronomy were employed
by the Navy. Meteorologists and meteorological
aids were concentrated in the Weather Bureau.
A fourth of the social scientists, psychologists,
and welfare workers were employed by the Veter­
ans Administration. Most of these VA employees
were social workers and psychologists.•
• The Atomic Energy Commission, while an important indirect source of
employment for physical scientists, actually employed fewer than 2 percent
of the full-time scientists on the Federal payroll in June 1951. Most of the
scientists working on the Atomic Energy Commission program are on the
staffs of universities and private companies holding contracts with AEO,

Grade Distribution and Salary Rates

The current salary schedule for Federal whitecollar workers is the General Schedule established
by the Classification Act of. 1949, as amended in
October 1951. This schedule specifies the mini­
mum and maximum annual salary and inter­
mediate salary steps for each grade of position
from 1 through 18. In general, a worker entering
a position of a given grade starts at the minimum
salary for that grade and receives increases at
regular intervals up to the specified maximum
salary. The following tabulation shows the rates
in effect June 1951. Salaries were subsequently
increased by 10 percent of the minimum rate for
each grade, with a minimum increase of $300 and
a maximum of $800.

1 In grades 10 and below, additional “longevity” increases, above the speci­
fied maximum salaries, are given to employees who have been in the same
grade for a long period of time.

Over half the Federal employees for whom grade
was reported in mid-1951 were classified in grades
1 through 4 (table 2). The greatest concentration
of workers (22 percent) was in grade 3. Although
a fifth of all employees were classified in grade 9
or above with salaries of $4,600 or more, only
3.2 percent were in the top six grades with salary
rates of $7,600 or above.
These over-all figures reflect, to a great extent,
the grade distribution of the largest group of
Federal white-collar workers—the administrative,
clerical, and office services group. In this major
group, 75 percent of the workers were in grades 2



through 4, and 10 percent were in grades 5 and 6;
but only 1 percent held administrative positions
in the 5 highest grades (14 through 18).
The major occupational group having the largest
proportion of workers (over 50 percent) in grades
1 and 2 was the medical, hospital, dental, and
public-health category. Most of the workers in
these grades were hospital attendants. Among
the professional employees in the medical group
for whom grade was reported, the great majority
of the physicians were in grade 12, most of the
dentists were in grade 10, and over 80 percent of
the nurses were in grade 5—the lowest grade for
professional workers.
Only three major occupational groups—educa­
tion; veterinary science; and copyright, patent,
and trade-mark—were made up entirely of profes­
sional workers. Therefore, these groups included
only employees in grades 5 or above.
The average annual salary of Government
white-collar employees was $3,700 on June 30,
1951. It was raised to $4,066 by the salary
increase provided as of July 1951. The average
July 1951 salary was somewhat higher for em­
ployees in Washington, D. C. ($4,496) than for
those outside Washington ($3,951). This differ­
ence was due largely to the concentration of
administrative and executive personnel in the
capital city.
Most groups of clerical workers had relatively
low average salaries, as shown by the grade dis­
tributions in table 2. Under the broad heading
“general administrative, clerical, and office serv­
ices/J were 14 occupational categories each of
which included more than 5,000 employees. In 9
of these categories, the average salary was below
$3,000; and in the other 5, workers with jobs in
the “general supply” series had the highest average
salary—$4,080.
Among the 34 occupational series with more
than 5,000 workers, employees in 17 had average
salaries greater than the average for all whitecollar employees ($3,700). The highest paid of
these relatively large occupational groups were
internal revenue agents, civil engineers, electronic
engineers, mechanical engineers, criminal inves­
tigators, and business accountants, with average
salaries ranging up to about $5,800. Only 8
administrative and legal occupations, each with
less than 150 employees at the time of the survey,
had average salaries as high as $8,000.

1/ Comparability of figures is somewhat affected by completeness of coverage and changes in classi­
fication of occupations. In general, 194-7 figures are understated, but some occupations are
affected more than others. The 194-7 figures Include all employees in the competitive civil service;
1951 figures include only full-time employees at general schedule rates. Revisions and additions
to the position-classification plan make direct comparisons impossible in some occupational
series. The fact that a series shows employees in 1951> but none in 194-7, may mean that the
functions were formerly performed by employees assigned to another series. For example, the
electronics series, established in October 1951, contains certain positions formerly allocated
to the engineering aid series and the radio repairing series.
2/ The designations used in the stub of the table are from the Handbook of Occupational Groups
and Series of Classes, published by the U. S. Civil Service Commission. The major occupational
groups are presented in descending size order according to 1951 employment. Within these groups,
the series are arranged according to the code order given in the Handbook.
3/ Breakdown not available.
