Fieldwork for the survey was directed by the Bureau’s
Assistant Regional Commissioners for Operations.
Other reports currently available from the Bureau’s
program of industry wage studies, as well as addresses
of the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end of
this bulletin.
Material in this publication is in the public domain
and, with appropriate credit, may be reproduced with­
out permission.
This bulletin was produced with the assistance of four
computer languages developed by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics. JOWLS and Table Producing Language tabu­
lated the data, Print Control Language formatted the
data to publication standards, and Automatic Typo­
graphical Language was used to produce the text.

This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of
Labor Statistics survey of wages and employee benefits
in*auto dealer repair facilities in November 1982. Sepa­
rate wage and benefit summaries for the metropolitan
areas included in the survey were issued during the
spring of 1983. (See the Contents for a listing of the 24
areas studied.) Copies of these summaries are available
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. Harry B. Williams of
the Division of Occupational Pay and Employee Bene­
fit Levels analyzed the survey data and prepared this
bulletin. The Bureau’s field representatives obtained the
data through personal visits to a probability-based sam­
ple of establishments within the scope of the survey.

November 1982

Earnings and! benefits

Diverse employee skills, extensive use of incentive
pay plans, and pay differences among individual shops
all contributed to the wide range of earnings in auto­
mobile dealer repair shops in November 1982. Such pay
variations existed both within and among eight occu­
pations selected to represent service and repair activi­
ties in these establishments. The eight occupations ac­
counted for two-thirds of the 91,680 nonsupervisory
service workers covered by the survey; one-third were
in the two automotive mechanic jobs studied.1
Journeyman auto mechanics, who repair, rebuild, or
overhaul major assemblies of cars and light trucks, were
numerically the most important, numbering 23,401
workers. Their average straight-time earnings ranged
from $14.52 an hour in San Francisco to $8.59 in Bir­
mingham (table 3). Most commonly, journeyman me­
chanics averaged 20 to 40 percent more than automo­
tive service mechanics in the same metropolitan area.
Average earnings of service mechanics, who perform
minor repairs and tuneups, ranged from $10.99 an hour
in Dallas-Fort Worth to $6.80 in Boston; in most areas,
however, averages were between $7 and $9 an hour
(table 3).
Among the jobs studied, body repairers or painters
had the highest average in 20 of the 24 areas studied.
Averages for painters ranged from over $15 an hour in
three areas-Denver-Boulder ($16.49), Chicago ($15.61),
and Kansas City ($15.59)-to $8.60 in New York and
$8.12 in Memphis. In eight areas, hourly averages fell
between $12 and $15; in seven areas, between $11 and
$12; and in three areas, Nassau-Suffolk, Philadelphia,
and Birmingham, between $9 and $11. (Data for painters
did not meet publication criteria in Pittsburgh.) For
body repairers, who repair damaged bodies and body
parts of automotive vehicles, hourly averages ranged
from $14.68 in San Francisco to $9 in Indianapolis. Av­
erages fell between $12 and $14 in 13 areas; and be­
tween $9 and $12 in the remaining 9 areas. Painters

typically averaged 8 to 14 percent more than body re­
pairers in the 12 areas where painters held the wage
advantage. When body repairers held the edge in an
area, their wage advantage was usually 11 percent or
less.
Lubricators and new-car get-ready workers were usu­
ally the lowest paid, averaging between $5 and $8 in a
majority of the areas. Averages for new-car get-ready
workers exceeded $9 an hour in St. Louis ($10.16), San
Francisco-Oakland ($9.78), and Dallas-Fort Worth
($9.49). Lubricators exceeded $9 an hour in Denver-Boulder ($10.60), Los Angeles ($10.18), St. Louis
($9.79), Kansas City ($9.61), and San Francisco ($9.60).
Service salesworkers, who examine automobiles to
determine the need for and cost of repairs, averaged
more than $9 an hour in most of the areas surveyed.
Their highest hourly average was found in San Fran­
cisco-Oakland ($13.58) and their lowest in Pittsburgh
($7.72). Service salesworkers averaged 15 to 30 percent
more than parts clerks in each area but Houston, where
parts clerks held a slight edge-$12.27 to $12.16. Aver­
ages for parts clerks, who sell automobile parts to cus­
tomers and fill service department requisitions, ranged
from over $10 an hour in Houston ($12.27), San Fran­
cisco-Oakland ($11.90), Dallas-Fort Worth ($10.56),
and St. Louis ($10.47) to less than $7 an hour in De­
troit ($6.83), Philadelphia ($6.69), Milwaukee ($6.62),
and Pittsburgh ($6.12).
Since June 1978, when the Bureau conducted a simi­
lar study of earnings in auto dealer repair shops,2 aver­
age hourly earnings for most surveyed jobs typically
increased between 20 and 40 percent (4.3 to 8 percent
a year). Average earnings for parts clerks and service
salesworkers generally rose at a faster pace than the
other six jobs-typically between 30 and 50 percent (6.1
and 9.7 percent a year). The wage and salary compo­
nent of the Bureau’s Employment Cost Index rose 8.2
percent a year over approximately the same period.
In the six occupational classifications for which data
are shown for all areas (excludes service mechanics and
painters),3 average pay levels in November 1982 were
2For a report on the earlier survey, see Industry Wage Survey: Auto
Dealer Repair Shops, June 1978, Bulletin 2060 (Bureau o f Labor Sta­
tistics, 1980).
3Data did not meet publication criteria for automotive service me­
chanics in St. Louis and for painters in Pittsburgh.

occupations were most often under flat-rate hours sys­
tems. Flat-rate percentage plans were also commonly
reported for body repairers and painters.
Individual earnings were widely dispersed within the
same job and area, especially where the occupation was
typically paid on an incentive basis. In nearly all areas,
for example, earnings of the highest paid journeyman
mechanic exceeded those of the lowest paid by at least
$9 an hour. In San Francisco, where virtually all jour­
neyman mechanics were time rated, their earnings fell
within a comparatively narrow range-$ 13.00 to $16.50
(table 27).
These spreads in individual earnings resulted more
from disparate pay levels among establishments than
from pay differences within establishments. For exam­
ple, within individual establishments, the earnings of
the highest paid body repairer rarely exceeded those of
the lowest paid by more than $6 an hour. However,
earnings of the highest paid body repairer in an area
exceeded those of the lowest paid by at least $14 an
hour in nearly all areas. As a result of the wide disper­
sion of earnings within an occupation, there was a con­
siderable overlapping of individual workers’ earnings
among jobs with substantially different average pay
levels (tables 4-27).
Paid holidays were provided to at least nine-tenths
of the workers in all areas except Denver-Boulder,
where the proportion was about seven-tenths (table 31).
Holiday provisions varied widely by area. In seven areas
(Boston, Chicago, Minneapolis, Nassau-Suffolk, New
York, San Francisco, and St. Louis), at least two-thirds
of the workers received 9 or more holidays annually;
in most southern areas, provisions for more than 5 days
were rare.
Incentive workers, particularly those paid under flatrate systems, may receive holiday pay which is differ­
ent than their usual pay. About one-third of the incen­
tive workers were granted holiday pay which was sub­
stantially less than their usual pay. Most of the remain­
der received holiday pay that equaled, or approached,
their regular pay. A few incentive workers received
holiday pay that was greater than their regular pay.
Virtually all nonsupervisory service workers were in
shops providing paid vacations after qualifying periods
of service (table 32). Although vacation provisions var­
ied substantially among the areas, typical provisions
were 1 week of pay after 1 year of service and 2 weeks
after 2 years. Provisions for at least 3 weeks of vaca­
tion pay, generally after 10 to 15 years of service, were
more common in the Northeastern and North Central
areas than in the other two regions. Only in Chicago,
Minneapolis, St. Louis, and San Francisco were a ma­
jority of the workers covered by 4-week plans.
Virtually all service workers were in establishments
providing hospitalization, surgical, basic medical, and
major medical insurance for which employers paid at

most often highest in San Francisco-Oakland and low­
est in Birmingham and Pittsburgh. The interarea spread
in average earnings, however, differed considerably by
occupation. For example, new-car get-ready workers
in San Francisco-Oakland averaged 90 percent more
than their counterparts in Washington, D.C., whereas
the spread between these two areas was 33 percent for
journeyman automotive mechanics, 14 percent for body
repairers, and 2 percent for painters.
Earnings relationships between occupations within
the same area also varied widely by geographic loca­
tion. To illustrate, body repairers averaged 23 percent
more than lubricators in Los Angeles; 60 to 70 percent
more in Atlanta, Ballas-Fort Worth, Minneapolis-St.
Paul, and Nassau-Suffolk; and at least 90 percent more
in Boston, Miami, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and
Washington.
Incentive pay systems, most commonly flat-rate hours
plans, determined the earnings for just over one-half of
the service workers covered by the study (table 28).
Under flat-rate hours plans, which applied to
three-tenths of the workers, pay is computed by multi­
plying the number of flat-rate hours predetermined for
each task by an established hourly rate. Group bonus
and commission plans together covered one-seventh of
the service workers. Other incentive systems in auto
dealer repair shops include individual bonus plans and
flat-rate percent plans. In the latter, workers receive a
stipulated proportion (most often 50 percent) of the la­
bor cost charged to the customer. These flat-rate per­
cent plans applied to less than one-tenth of the workers.
Slightly more than two-fifths of the service workers
were paid time rates in November 1982, typically un­
der informal plans providing individual rates in speci­
fied occupations. Formal time-rated plans providing sin­
gle rates for specified jobs were more common in eight
areas, including San Francisco, where such plans ap­
plied to four-fifths of the workers (table 28).
Where comparisons were possible, workers paid on
an incentive basis in auto dealer repair shops nearly al­
ways averaged more than those paid time rates in the
same job and area (tables 4 to 27). The differences in
average earnings, however, varied by occupation. In
Boston, for example, journeyman automotive mechanics
under incentive systems averaged 23 percent more than
those paid time rates; the difference for service salesworkers was 14 percent. Corresponding differences in
Detroit were 6 percent for journeyman mechanics and
16 percent for service salesworkers.
Incentive wage systems applied to at least one-half
of the workers in each occupation studied except newcar get-ready workers, where the proportion was nearly
one-third (table 29). The predominant methods of in­
centive pay varied by occupation. Incentive paid parts
clerks and service salesworkers were primarily on com­
mission while incentive workers in the six remaining



2

tices in formally established programs registered with
Federal or State governments accounted for less than
1 percent of the survey employment. Nevertheless, ap­
prentice automotive mechanics were employed in each
area. Establishments with apprentices accounted for 8386 percent of the workers in Chicago, Minneapolis, and
San Francisco; between 45-60 percent in Denver, Phila­
delphia, Pittsburgh, Portland, and Washington; and 40
percent or less in the remaining areas (table 2).
One-third of the areas accounted for about three-fifths
of the service workers covered by the study. The Los
Angeles-Long Beach area had the largest number
(10,083), followed by Washington (8,024), Chicago
(7,080), Houston (6,107), Philadelphia (5,924), Detroit
(5,623), Dallas-Fort Worth (5,557), and San Francisco
(4,579). In the remaining 16 areas, employment of non­
supervisory service workers ranged from 3,898 in New
York to approximately 1,000 in Birmingham. (See ap­
pendix table A-l.)
Between the June 1978 survey and the current study,
employment among the nonsupervisory service workers
dropped substantially in most of the 23 areas surveyed
both years. The largest declines were reported in Bir­
mingham (44 percent) and New York (38 percent);
smallest (less than 10 percent) in Dallas, Houston, and
Memphis. Among the other areas, employment declines
typically ranged between 23 and 35 percent. In con­
trast, Washington recorded a 4-percent gain in the work
force. (The Phoenix area was not surveyed in 1978.)
Weekly work schedules of 40 hours were common
in all areas except Dallas-Fort Worth. There, 54 per­
cent were on longer schedules, notably 45 hours per
week (table 30). Other areas reporting at least one-fifth
of the workers at 45 hours or more included Atlanta,
Denver-Boulder, and Washington.
Just over one-fifth of the service workers were cov­
ered by labor-management agreements. The proportion
was about nine-tenths in San Francisco and St. Louis;
between three-fifths and four-fifths in Chicago, Minne­
apolis, Nassau-Suffolk, and New York; nearly two-fifths
in Kansas City; and one-fourth or less in Boston, De­
troit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh (table 2).
In the remaining 12 areas, primarily in the South and
West, no establishment visited reported a majority of
its nonsupervisory service workers under union con­
tracts. The major unions in the industry were the Inter­
national Association of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers (AFL-CIO), and the International Brother­
hood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen, and
Helpers of America (Ind.). In a few areas, both of these
unions had bargaining agreements with the same
establishment.

least part of the cost (table 33). Provisions for life in­
surance covered nine-tenths of the workers; accidental
death and dismemberment insurance, four-fifths; and
short-term protection against sickness or accident, twothirds. As with the other elements of this survey, inci­
dence of certain health and insurance plans varied
widely by area. For example, accidental death and dis­
memberment plans covered from one-half of the
workers in Denver to virtually all in St. Louis and San
Francisco. Long-term disability insurance was provided
to no more than one-fourth of the workers outside of
St. Louis, where slightly more than nine-tenths of the
workers were covered.
Retirement pension plans (other than social security)
applied to at least' 90 percent of the workers in Minneapolis-St. Paul, St. Louis, and San Francisco. Else­
where, pension plans covered a majority of the workers
in 8 areas and typically from one-fourth to one-third in
the remaining 13.
Nearly one-third of the nonsupervisory service
workers were in shops with formal provisions for fu­
neral leave pay. Provisions for jury-duty pay were vir­
tually nonexistent (table 34).
Formal provisions for furnishing and cleaning uni­
forms, or for paying at least part of the cost of these
benefits, were reported by establishments employing 95
percent or more of the service workers (table 34). Pro­
visions varied by geographic location. For example, in
4 of the 5 northeastern areas, employers typically pro­
vided uniforms and cleaning; in most areas of the north
central and southern regions, employers usually pro­
vided monetary allowances; and in the west, the pat­
tern was mixed.
industry characteristics

The 3,363 auto dealers within the scope of the survey-those with at least 20 workers-employed 173,682
workers in November 1982. In the 24 areas combined,
executive, supervisory, and office personnel made up
24 percent of the work force; auto salesworkers made
up 19 percent; and the nonsupervisory service workers
accounted for 57 percent.
Establishments with total employment of 20 to 49
workers accounted for slightly more than one-third of
the service workers; those having 50 to 99 workers, for
slightly more than two-fifths; and larger establishments,
for just over one-fifth. These proportions varied widely
by area, as shown in table 2. Northeastern areas, for
example, had much larger proportions of service
workers in the smallest dealership classification than
did most areas studied in other parts of the country.

Appemefa A. Seope and
Method ©f Survey

establishment and interarea variations in duties within
the same job. (See appendix B for these descriptions.)
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 rep­
resentation of the entire job scale in the industry. Su­
pervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and
handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary
workers were not reported in the data for selected
occupations.

Scop® ©f survey

The survey included the repair departments of estab­
lishments engaged primarily in selling new, or new and
used automobiles (SIC 5511 as defined in the 1972 edi­
tion of the Standard Industrial Classification M anual
prepared by the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget). Establishments primarily selling trucks and
used cars and general automobile repair shops were not
included.
Establishments studied were selected from those em­
ploying 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 esti­
mated to be within the scope of the survey, as well as
the number actually studied by the Bureau.

Wage data

An establishment is defined for this study as all out­
lets of a company operating within the metropolitan
area.

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 resulting from piecework or
production bonus systems, and cost-of-living bonuses
were included as part of the workers’ regular pay. Non­
production bonus payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.
Average (mean) hourly rates or earnings for each oc­
cupation or category of workers were calculated by
weighting each rate (or hourly earnings) by the num­
ber of workers receiving the rate, totaling, and divid­
ing 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. Some repair shops in the
study were unable to provide normal (or standard) hours
data for their employees. In those cases, an estimate of
the hours was used to obtain the hourly earnings.

Employment

Method of wag® payment

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.

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. A single rate
structure is one in which the same rate is paid to all
experienced workers in the same job classification.
Learners, apprentices, or probationary workers may be
paid according to rate schedules which start below the
single rate and permit the workers to achieve the full
job rate over a period of time. An experienced worker
occasionally may be paid above or below the single

(Method ©f study

Data were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s
field representatives to a probability-based sample of
establishments within the scope of the survey. To obtain
appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater pro­
portion of large than of small establishments was stud­
ied. In combining the data, each establishment was 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.
Establishment definition

Monsupervisory sorvioe workers

The term “nonsupervisory service workers” includes
working supervisors and nonsupervisory workers in all
departments except the office and auto sales. Included
are workers in departments such as repair, service, and
parts.
Oooupatioinial classification

Occupational classification was based on a uniform
set of job descriptions designed to take account of inter­

rate for special reasons, but such payments are excep­
tions. Range-of-rate plans are those in which the mini­
mum, maximum, or both of these rates paid experienced
workers for the same job are specified. Specific rates
of individual workers within the range may be deter­
mined by merit, length of service, or a combination of
these.
Incentive workers are classified under flat-rate hours,
flat-rate percentage, individual bonus, group bonus, or
commission plans. Flat-rate hours plans compute pay
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 plans pay a stipulated percentage of the labor
cost charged to the customer. Bonus plans are for pro­
duction 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

2 Includes only those auto dealerships with total employment of at least 20 workers
at the time of reference of the universe data.
3 Data relate to total employment in establishments actually visited.
4 Includes executive, professional, office, and other workers in addition to the nonsupervisory service worker category shown separately.

a percentage of value of sales or on a combination of
a stated salary plus a percentage of sales.
Scheduled weekly hours

Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work
schedule for full-time, nonsupervisory service workers
employed on the day shift.
Establishment practices and supplementary
wage provisions

Supplementary benefits in an establishment were con­
sidered applicable to all service workers if they applied
to half or more of such workers in the establishment.
Similarly, if fewer than half of the workers were cov­
ered, the benefit was considered nonexistent in the es­
tablishment. Because of length-of-service and other eli­
gibility requirements, the proportion of workers receiv­
ing the benefits may be smaller than estimated.
40

Paid holiday provisions relate to fullday and half-day holidays provided annually.

rate tabulations are provided for (1) plans which pro­
vide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans pro­
viding either partial pay or a waiting period.
Long-term disability insurance plans provide pay­
ments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration
of sick leave, sickness and accident insurance, or both,
or after a specified period of disability (typically 6
months). Payments are made until the end of disability,
a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits.
Payments may be full or partial, but are almost always
reduced by social security, workers’ compensation, and
private pension benefits payable to the disabled
employee.
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 in­
jury 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 re­
tirement severance pay (one payment or several over
a specified period of time) made to employees on re­
tirement. Establishments providing both retirement sev­
erance 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.

Paid holidays.

The summary of vacation plans is lim­
ited to formal arrangements and excludes 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 per­
cent 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.
Paid vacations.

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 workers’ compensation and social security.
Among plans included are those underwritten by a com­
mercial insurance company and those paid directly by
the employer from current operating funds or from a
fund set aside for this purpose.
Death benefits are included as a form of life insur­
ance. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that
type of insurance under which predetermined cash pay­
ments are made directly to the insured on a weekly or
monthly basis during illness or accident disability. In­
formation is presented for all such plans to which the
employer contributes at least a part of the cost. How­
ever, in New York and New Jersey, where temporary
disability insurance laws require employer contribu­
tions,1plans are included only if the employer (1) con­
tributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides
the employees with benefits which exceed the require­
ments of the law.
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
Health, insurance, and retirement plans.

Data for paid funeral
and jury-duty leave relate to formal plans which pro­
vide at least partial payment for time lost as a result of
attending funerals of specified family members or serv­
ing as a juror.
Paid fu n era l and jury-duty leave.

Uniform allowances. Data relate to formal provisions
for uniforms worn in lieu of or over the employee’s
personal clothing.

1The temporary disability insurance laws in California and Rhode
Island do not require employer contributions.

Appendix EL 0@eupafiS©iniiiD
Description]®

body shop estimating, frame repairing and straighten­
ing, and bumper straightening.

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions
for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist its field rep­
resentatives in classifying into appropriate occupations
workers who are employed under a variety of payroll
titles and different work arrangements from establish­
ment to establishment and from area to area. This per­
mits the grouping of occupational wage rates represent­
ing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis
on interestablishment and interarea comparability of oc­
cupational content, the Bureau’s job descriptions may
differ significantly from those used in individual estab­
lishments or those prepared for other purposes. In ap­
plying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field repre­
sentatives were instructed to exclude supervisors, ap­
prentices, learners, beginners, trainees and handicapped,
part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
The titles and code numbers that appear below the
job titles in this appendix were taken from the 1980
edition of the Standard Occupational Classification M a n ­
ual (SOC), issued by the U.S. Department of Com­
merce, Office of Federal Statistical Policy and
Standards.
In general, the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ occupa­
tional descriptions are much more specific than those
found in the SOC manual. For example, 3 of the 8 oc­
cupations studied separately had the same SOC code
(6111). Thus, in comparing the results of this survey
with other sources, differences in occupational defini­
tions should be taken into consideration.

Lubricator

even though this type of work constitutes a minor part
of their time (see Mechanic, automotive, journeym an), or
journeyman mechanic helpers.

Women at Work: A Chartbook— points out that
women now,account for 43 percent of the labor
force, compared with less than 30 percent in
1950. They have obtained jobs in all sectors of
the economy but are concentrated in finance,
insurance, and real estate; retail trade; health,
business, and education services; and State and
local government. The chartbook includes
information on occupations, earnings, working
mothers, women maintaining families, work-life
expectancy, and other special topics.

Workers W ithoot Jobs: A Chartbook ©mi
Unemployment— presents information on the
extent and nature of unemployment in the United
States. Figures in the charts disclose how
joblessness'varies by age, sex, and race. They
also depict the proportion of unemployment
resulting from loss of a job as opposed to other
factors. The average length of unemployment and
the impact of unemployment on families are also
shown.
