Preface
This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of wages
and supplementary benefits in auto dealer repair shops in 36 metropolitan areas in June
1973.
Separate releases were issued earlier for each of the metropolitan areas covered by
the survey. Copies of these may be obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Washington, D.C. 20212, or any of its regional offices.
This study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations.
Edward J. Caramela of the Division of Occupational Wage Structures prepared the
analysis in this bulletin. Field work for the survey was directed by the Bureau’s
Associate Assistant Regional Directors for Operations.
Other reports available from the Bureau’s program of industry wage studies, as well
as the addresses of the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end of this bulletin.
The Bureau has introduced new job titles to eliminate those that denote sex
stereotypes. For purposes of this bulletin, however, old titles have been retained where
they refer specifically to jobs for which survey data were collected under earlier
definitions.

Summary

Average straight-time hourly earnings of journeyman
mechanics in auto dealer repair shops ranged from $4.63
in Providence to over $7 in Cleveland, Detroit, and
Chicago among 36 areas surveyed by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics in June 1973.1 The earnings for
lubrication men, usually the lowest paid workers of the
eight occupations studied,2 ranged from $2.27 in Balti­
more and Pittsburgh to $6.24 in Los Angeles. Painters
($3.91—$9.19) and body repairmen ($4.81—$8.44)
usually had the highest average hourly earnings among
the selected jobs.
Occupational earnings levels were typically highest in
Chicago and lowest in Providence. The interarea spread
in average hourly earnings, however, varied by occupa­
tion. Individual earnings of workers also differed con­
siderably within the same job and area, largely as a result
of the widespread use of incentive wage plans.
Paid holidays and paid vacations were provided for
most of the workers in nearly all areas. At least part of
the cost of life, hospitalization, surgical, basic medical,
and major medical insurance was provided to nine-tenths
or more of the production workers in most areas.
Retirement pension plans covered at least one-half of the
workers in 20 survey areas.
Industry characteristics

Employment. About 241,000 workers were employed in
4,470 auto dealer establishments3 covered by the
1 See appendix A for scope and method o f survey and
definition o f terms used in this report. Earnings data exclude
premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays,
and late shifts. Earnings data are limited to men, who constitu­
ted virtually all production workers in the survey. The areas
studied were Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas (SMSA’s)
as defined by the U.S. Office o f Management and Budget
through November 1972.
2 See appendix B for job descriptions.
3 An establishment, for purposes o f this study, was defined as
all outlets o f a company within a survey area. Establishments
thus defined and employing fewer than 20 workers were
excluded.




36-area survey in June 1973. Establishments having
20-49 workers accounted for slightly more than onethird of the employment; those having 50-99 workers,
for nearly half; and larger establishments, nearly onefifth.
Individual area employment levels ranged from less
than 1,000 in Bridgeport to nearly 27,000 in Los
Angeles-Long Beach. Other areas in which employment
levels exceeded 10,000 were Chicago, Detroit, New
York, Philadelphia, and Washington. A majority of the
employees in each of the 36 areas were production
workers, i.e., nonsupervisory employees and working
foremen, in all departments except the office and auto
sales departments.
Occupational staffing. Of the work force in the 36 areas
combined, executive, supervisory, and office personnel
made up 26 percent; auto salesmen, 19 percent; and
production workers, 55 percent—about the same propor­
tions as in August 1969, when a similar survey was
conducted.4 Among production occupations, journey­
man automotive mechanics were numerically most im­
portant, accounting for about 14 percent of the total
work force. (See table 1.) Other occupations for which
separate wage information was developed (automotive
service mechanics, body repairmen, lubrication men,
new-car get-ready men, painters, parts men, and service
salesmen) together constituted 21 percent of the total
employment.
Apprentice automotive mechanics and other appren­
tices in formally established programs registered with
Federal or State governments accounted for less than 1
percent of the survey employment. Apprentice auto­
motive mechanics were employed by some establish­
ments in all but two areas. As indicated in text table 1,
however, establishments with apprentices accounted for
fewer than one-half of the production workers in all
areas except Chicago, San Francisco-Oakland, and
Seattle-Everett at the time of the survey.
Occupational staffing patterns differed somewhat by
the establishments’ employment size. Executives, offi4

cials, and supervisors, for example, accounted for 17
percent of the employment in establishments with 20-49
workers, compared with 13 percent in those with 50-99
workers and 11 percent in larger establishments. Office
clerical employees and production workers, on the other
hand, were relatively more important in establishments
having 100 workers or more than in smaller establish­
ments.
Unionization. Establishments with collective bargaining
agreements covering a majority of their production
workers employed about 30 percent of total production
workers in the study. As shown in text table 2, the
proportion of workers in such establishments varied
substantially by area.
Major unions in the industry were the International
Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (AFLCIO) and the International Brotherhood of Teamsters,
Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America
(Ind.). In a number of instances (particularly in Chicago,
Kansas City, St. Louis, San Francisco-Oakland, and
Seattle-Everett), these two unions had bargaining agree­
ments with the same establishment.
In five of the six most heavily unionized areas (in which
at least three-fourths of the repair shop workers were
covered by agreements), establishments typically united
to negotiate bargaining agreements with local unions. This
approach was also the most prevalent one among union es­
tablishments in Cleveland, Kansas City, Newark, and Port­
land. In all other areas having union establishments, inde­
pendent (single-firm) bargaining was the usual practice.




Method o f wage payment. Incentive pay was the basis of
earnings for about one-half of the production workers in
the survey, most commonly under flat-rate percent plans
or flat-rate hours plans. With the first, workers receive a
stipulated proportion (usually 45 or 50 percent) of the
labor cost charged to the customer. With the second, pay
is computed by multiplying the number of flat-rate
hours determined for each task by an established hourly
rate. (See tables 12-13.)
Incentive wage systems applied to a large majority of
the body repairmen and painters (most commonly
flat-rate percent plans) and journeyman and service
automotive mechanics (about evenly divided between
flat-rate hours and flat-rate percent plans). Most service
salesmen also were paid on an incentive basis, typically
under systems other than flat rate, e.g., ccmmission.
Proportions of production workers paid on a timerate basis ranged from 40 to 60 percent in 28 areas;
60-80 percent in 6 more areas; and over 90 percent in
San Francisco-Oakland and Seattle-Everett. The survey
jobs in which a majority of the workers were time rated
were new-car get-ready men and parts men.

workers in auto dealer repair shops. These occupations
accounted for nearly two-thirds of the 132,000 produc­
tion workers covered by the survey.
Average straight-time hourly earnings of journeyman
automotive mechanics, numerically the largest occupa­
tional group studied, ranged from $4.63 in ProvidenceWarwick-Pawtucket to over $7 an hour in Cleveland
($7.15), Detroit ($7.49), and Chicago ($7.80). June
1973 hourly averages were above $6 in 17 other areas
and between $5 and $6 in the remaining 15 areas. (See
table 2.)
Highest hourly averages usually were recorded for
painters, with their range of $3.91—$9.19, or body
repairmen, at $4.81—$8.44. For painters, hourly earn­
ings averaged between $5.50 and $8 in 24 areas and
above $8 in three areas-Detroit ($9.19), Chicago
($8.40), and Minneapolis-St. Paul ($8.39); for body
repairmen, hourly averages typically fell between $5.50
and $7, with Chicago ($8.44), Detroit ($8.35), and
Washington ($8.08) topping out the range at over $8.
Lubrication men were typically the lowest paid workers
studied, averaging from $2.27 an hour in Baltimore and
Pittsburgh to $6.24 in Los Angeles-Long Beach. Most of
their area pay levels, however, were within a $3-to-$5an-hour range.
Based on six occupational classifications for which
data are shown for all areas, Chicago had the highest




average hourly pay levels, and Providence the lowest.
The relative pay levels, using Detroit’s as base 100, are
presented in text table 3.
The interarea spread in average earnings differed
considerably by occupation. For example, painters in
Chicago averaged 115 percent more than their counter­
parts in Providence, whereas the spread was 75 percent
for body repairmen and 35 percent for new-car get-ready
men.
Occupational earnings relationships also varied widely
by area. To illustrate, in Los Angeles-Long Beach, body
repairmen averaged 8 percent more than lubrication
men; in Cleveland and Portland, they averaged about
twice as much as lubrication men; and in Baltimore,
nearly three times as much.
In most of the 36 areas surveyed, average earnings of
journeyman automotive mechanics employed by dealers
compared favorably with those of maintenance automo­
tive mechanics in the Bureau’s area wage surveys.5 Text
table 4 presents hourly average pay relatives for mechan­
ics in auto dealer repair shops using the more broadly
based area wage survey average for maintenance automo­
tive mechanics in each locality as 100. It shows that the
percentage differences in favor of auto dealers’ mechan­
ics covered a broad range, but commonly fell between 5
and 15 percent. Mechanics covered by the area wage
program, however, exclude those repairing customers’
vehicles in auto repair shops.
Workers paid on an incentive basis in auto dealer
repair shops nearly always averaged higher earnings than
those paid time rates in the same job and area, where
comparisons were possible. (See table 3.) The differences
in average earnings, however, varied among occupations
within the same area and for individual jobs by area. In
Chicago, for example, painters under incentive systems
averaged 16 percent more than those paid time rates; the
difference for journeyman mechanics was 30 percent;
and for body repairmen, 44 percent. Corresponding
differences in Philadelphia amounted to 55 percent for
painters, 53 percent for journeyman mechanics, and 34
percent for body repairmen.
Individual earnings were widely dispersed within the
same job and area, especially in occupations typically
paid on an incentive basis. (See tables 4-11.) In all but
5
The Bureau’s area wage survey program covers establish­
ments in the following broad industry divisions: Manufacturing;
transportation, communication, and other public utilities; whole­
sale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and
selected services. Area wage surveys were conducted in a large
number of metropolitan areas throughout the country in 1973.
Data were adjusted to reflect payroll references used in the auto
dealer survey. Bridgeport, Conn., is not included in the regular
area program, and data for New York and Nassau-Suffolk were
combined in the area wage survey series in 1973.

two areas, earnings of the highest paid journeyman
mechanics exceeded those of the lowest paid by at least
$4 an hour; most had earnings within comparatively
narrow ranges in San Francisco ($6-$7) and Seattle
($5.30-$6), where over nine-tenths of the mechanics
were time-rated.
The wide dispersion of individual earnings within an
occupation and area caused overlapping of earnings
among jobs with substantially different pay levels. Text
table 5 illustrates such an overlap between lubrication
men and painters in Detroit repair shops.
In nearly all areas, hourly earnings for the eight
survey jobs averaged substantially higher in June 1973
than in August 1969.6 The amounts of change varied
widely, but the median increases among cities for the
eight jobs ranged from 20 to 30 percent, as shown in the

Reflecting such variations in occupational pay gains,
wage relationships changed somewhat in auto dealer
repair shops during this period. For example, body
repairmen averaged higher earnings than lubrication men
in all areas according to both surveys. The average size of
the differential, however, diminished in 20 of the areas
between the 1969 and 1973 studies, while increasing in
virtually all of the others permitting comparison. Simi­
larly, the 1969 average wage advantage typically held by
body repairmen over journeyman automotive mechanics
in 31 areas narrowed in 22 localities; increased in 4
areas; remained the same in 1; and shifted to a pay
disadvantage in 4.
Establishment practices and supplementary
wage provisions

Information also was obtained for production
workers on weekly work schedules, overtime pay prac­
tices, and selected supplementary wage benefits, such as
paid holidays, paid vacations, and health, insurance, and
retirement plans.
Scheduled weekly hours and overtime pay. Weekly work
schedules of 40 hours were in effect in establishments
employing a majority of the production workers in 22 of
the 36 survey areas. (See table 14.) Longer work
schedules, typically 4 2^ to 45 hours, were predominant
in most of the remaining areas.
Formal provisions for premium pay for weekly
overtime work were in effect in establishments employ­
ing a large majority of the time-rated workers in all
areas. Nearly always, these provided for pay at time and

one-half regular rates after 40 hours. (See table 15.)
Weekly overtime provisions were less prevalent for
incentive workers; provisions applied to a majority of
such employees in only 10 survey areas—Bridgeport,
Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis-St. Paul, NassauSuffolk, Newark, New York, St. Louis, San FranciscoOakland, and Seattle-Everett.
Daily overtime provisions, mostly for time and
one-half after 8.hours, applied to a majority of both pay
groups in about one-fourth of the areas.
Paid holidays. Paid holidays were provided to a large
majority of the time-rated and incentive workers in
virtually all areas. Provisions, however, varied consider­
ably among and, in many instances, within areas. (See
table 16.) Provisions for 5 or 6 paid holidays a year were
most frequently reported for time-rated and incentive
workers in the southern areas, whereas provisions for 6
days or more were usually found in areas outside the
South. In a number of instances, incentive workers were
granted holiday pay which was substantially less than
their usual pay or their guaranteed minimum. This was
particularly the case in Atlanta, Boston, Los Angeles,
Miami, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis.
Paid vacations. Paid vacations, after qualifying periods of
service, were provided to all or nearly all of the
production workers in each area. (See table 17.) Vaca­
tion provisions varied substantially among the areas;
however, typical provisions were 1 week of vacation pay
after 1 year of service and 2 weeks after 2 or 3 years.
Provisions for at least 3 weeks of vacation pay were




commonly available outside the South, generally after
15 years of service. Only in Chicago, Cleveland, and San
Francisco were a majority of both time and incentive
workers covered by plans including 4 weeks of vacation
pay.
Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Establishments
providing various health and insurance benefits, in many
cases financed solely by the employer, accounted for
nine-tenths or more of the production workers in nearly
all areas. (See table 18.) Benefits most frequently
available were life, hospitalization, surgical, basic medi­
cal, and major medical insurance, but the proportions of
workers covered by these and other plans varied some­
what by location. Sickness and accident insurance, paid
sick leave, or both, also applied to a majority of the
workers in most areas.
Retirement pension plans, other than social security,
were available to at least one-half of the production
workers in 20 areas, and were commonly financed
entirely by the employers. Retirement severance pay
plans were rarely reported.
Other selected benefits. Formal provisions for furnishing
and cleaning work clothing, or for paying at least part of
the cost of these benefits, were reported by establish­
ments employing most of the production workers in
nearly all areas. (See table 19.) Provisions for technologi­

Appendix A.

Scope and Method of Survey

Scope of survey

Atlanta, Ga..................................

Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Ful­
ton, and Gwinnett Counties

The survey included retail motor vehicle dealer
establishments engaged primarily in selling new, or new
and used automobiles (industry 5511 as defined in the
1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual, prepared by the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget). Establishments primarily selling trucks, used
cars, and general automobile repair shops were not
included.
Establishments studied were selected from those
employing 20 workers or more at the time of reference
of the data used in compiling the universe lists. Table
A-l shows the number of establishments and workers
estimated to be within the scope of the survey, as well as
the number actually studied by the Bureau.

folk County, and 9 in Ply­
mouth County
Bridgeport, Shelton, Easton,
Fairfield, Monroe, Stratford,
and Trumbull in Fairfield
County, and Milford in New
Haven County
Erie and Niagara Counties

Method of study

Data were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s
field staff to a representative sample of establishments
within the scope of the survey. To obtain appropriate
accuracy at a minimum cost, a greater proportion of
large than of small establishments was studied. In
combining the data, however, all establishments were
given an appropriate weight. All estimates are presented,
therefore, as relating to all establishments in the indus­
try, excluding only those below the minimum size at the
time of reference of the universe data.

Employment

Estimates of the number of workers within the scope
of the study are intended as a general guide to the size
and composition of the industry’s labor force, rather
than as precise measures of employment.
Production workers

The term “production workers,” as used in this
bulletin, includes working foremen and nonsupervisory
workers in all departments except the office and auto
sales. Included are workers in departments such as
repair, service, and parts.
Occupations selected for study

Occupational classification was based on a uniform
set of job descriptions designed to take account of
interestablishment and interarea variations in duties
within the same job. (See appendix B for these descrip­
tions.) The criteria for selection of the occupations
were: The number of workers in the occupation; the
usefulness of the data in collective bargaining; and
appropriate representation of the entire job scale in the
industry. Working supervisors, apprentices, learners, be­
ginners, and trainees, as well as handicapped, part-time,
temporary, and probationary workers were not reported
in the data for selected occupations but were included in
the data for all production workers.
Wage data

Information on wages relates to straight-time hourly
earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for
work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Incentive
payments, such as those based on flat-rate hours,
flat-rate percents, or other production bonus systems,
and cost-of-living bonuses were included as part of the
worker’s regular pay. Nonproduction bonus payments,
such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.
Average (mean) hourly rates or earnings for each
occupation or category of workers were calculated

by weighting each rate (or hourly earnings) by the
number of workers receiving the rate, then totaling, and
finally dividing by the number of individuals. The hourly
earnings of salaried workers were obtained by dividing
straight-time salary by normal (or standard) hours to
which the salary corresponds.

Method of wage payment

Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to the
number of workers paid under the various time and
incentive wage systems. Formal rate structures for
time-rated workers provide single rates or a range of
rates for individual job categories. In the absence of a
formal rate structure, pay rates are determined primarily
by the qualifications of the individual worker. Incentive
workers are classified under flat-rate hours, flat-rate
percentage, individual bonus, group bonus, or commis­
sion plans. Flat-rate hours is a method of pay computed
by multiplying the number of hours established for the
job by an hourly rate, regardless of the amount of time
actually required to complete the work. Flat-rate per­
centage is a stipulated percentage of the labor cost
charged to the customer. Bonus plans are for production
in excess of a quota or for completion of a task in less
than standard time, either by an individual or a group.
Under commission plans, earnings are based on a
percentage of value of sales or on a combination of a
stated salary plus a percentage.

Scheduled weekly hours

Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work
schedule for full-time production workers employed on
the day shift.

Overtime premium pay

Provisions for overtime premium pay—presented
separately for time-rated and incentive-rated production
workers—were considered applicable to all such workers
in an establishment if half of the workers or more were
covered; and nonexistent in an establishment if fewer
than half were covered. Daily overtime refers to work
over a specified number of hours a day, regardless of the
number of hours worked on previous days of the pay
period. Weekly overtime refers to work over a specified
number of hours per week, regardless of the day on
which it is performed, the number of hours per day, or
number of days worked.




Supplementary benefits

Supplementary benefits in an establishment were
considered applicable to all production workers if they
applied to half or more of such workers in the
establishment. Similarly, if fewer than half of the
workers were covered, the benefit was considered
nonexistent in the establishment. Because of length-ofservice and other eligibility requirements, the proportion
of workers receiving the benefits may be smaller than
estimated.
Paid holidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day
and half-day holidays provided annually.
Paid vacations. The summaries of vacation plans are
limited to formal arrangements and exclude informal
plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the
discretion of the employer or supervisor. Payments not
on a time basis were converted; for example, a payment
of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered the
equivalent of 1 week’s pay. The periods of service for
which data are presented represent the most common
practices, but they do not necessarily reflect individual
establishment provisions for progression. For example,
changes in proportions indicated at 10 years of service
may include changes which occurred between 5 and 10
years.
Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Data are pre­
sented for health, insurance, pension, and retirement
severance plans for which the employer pays all or a part
of the cost, excluding programs required by law such as
workmen’s compensation and social security. Among
plans included are those underwritten by a commercial
insurance company and those paid directly by the
employer from his current operating funds or from a
fund set aside for this purpose.
Death benefits are included as a form of life
insurance. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to
that type of insurance under which predetermined cash
payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly
or monthly basis during illness or accident disability.
Information is presented for all such plans to which the
employer contributes at least a part of the cost.
However, in New York and New Jersey, where tempo­
rary disability insurance laws require employer contribu­
tions,1 plans are included only if the employer (1) con­
tributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides the
employees with benefits which exceed the requirements
of the law.
^ h e temporary disability insurance laws in California and
Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.

Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to
formal plans which provide full pay or a proportion of
the worker’s pay during absence from work because of
illness; informal arrangements have been omitted. Sepa­
rate tabulations are provided for (1) plans which provide
full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans providing
either partial pay or a waiting period.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for com­
plete or partial payment of doctors’ fees. Such plans
may be underwritten by a commercial insurance com­
pany or a nonprofit organization, or they may be a form
of self-insurance.
Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as
extended medical or catastrophe insurance, includes
plans designed to cover employees for sickness or injury
involving an expense which exceeds the normal coverage
of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to
plans which provide regular payments for the remainder




of the retiree’s life. Data are presented separately for
retirement severance pay (one payment or several over a
specified period of time) made to employees on retire­
ment. Establishments providing both retirement sever­
ance payments and retirement pensions to employees
were considered as having both retirement pensions and
retirement severance plans; however, establishments
having optional plans providing employees a choice of
either retirement severance payments or pensions were
considered as having only retirement pension benefits.
Technological severance pay. Data relate to formal plans
providing for payments to employees permanently sepa­
rated from the company because of a technological
change or plant closing.
Uniform allowances. Data relate to formal provisions for
uniforms worn in lieu of or over the employee’s personal
clothing.




Appendix B.

Occupational Descriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist
its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a
variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment
and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing
comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea
comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’s job descriptions may differ significantly
from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying
these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field staff are instructed to exclude working supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handicapped part-time, temporary, and probation­
ary workers.
