Preface
This bulletin summarizes the results of two Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys of wages ana
related benefits conducted in December 1976. Part I covers the banking industry; Part II, employees
in home offices and regional head offices of life insurance carriers. The Bureau conducted similar
studies of banks in selected areas in August-October 1973, and of life insurance carriers nationwide
in December 1971.
Separate releases were issued earlier for 28 metropolitan areas for banking and 13 metropolitan
areas for life insurance. Copies are available from the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or any of its regional offices.
These studies were conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations. Carl
Barsky of the Division of Occupational Wage Structures prepared the analysis. Field work for the
surveys was directed by the Assistant Regional Commissioners 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.

Introduction
In December 1976, as part of its regular Industry Wage
Survey program, the Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted
occupational wage studies of banking and life insurance
employees—
two major components of this country’s finan
cial community. Commercial and savings banks, for exam
ple, employ about 1 in every 4 workers in the finance,
insurance, and real estate sector, and life insurance com
panies, about 1 out of every 1 0 . 1
Earnings levels of workers in the life insurance industry
are higher than in banks, according to several statistical
series examined .2 Average gross weekly earnings of nonsupervisory workers in life insurance, for example, were
$170 in December 1976— percent above the correspond
25
ing average of $136 for banks. The differential stems, in
part, from the different staffing requirements. For example,
sales agents and underwriters on insurance company pay
rolls make up about one-third of that industry’s employ
ment. Clerical workers, who typically are much lower paid
than sales agents and underwriters, accounted for twothirds of the employment in banks compared to one-half in
insurance industries.3
Despite the overall earning advantage of life insurance
carriers, no clear earnings pattern emerges at the occupa
tional level. The December 1976 studies permitted compari
sons among 166 occupational classifications common to
both industries in 11 localities. In half of the classifications
banks held the earnings advantage; in the other half, insur
ance companies. The differentials were frequently less than
4 percent and were rarely over 10 percent in most areas
(text table 1). No pattern of industry advantage was ob
served either occupationally or regionally. Banks in Boston
and Philadelphia, for example, usually had higher occupa
tional pay levels than life insurance carriers, bur the reverse
was true in Hartford and New York.
Occupational pay levels in banking and life insurance
were consistently below the levels reported in a BLS survey
conducted in 10 localities in 1976.4 Text table 2 shows
that, for the limited number of clerical and data processing
classifications permitting comparison in 1 0 areas, the
highest pay relative was usually registered for all industries
combined.5 No pattern emerged, however, from an occupa
tional wage comparison of life insurance and/or banking
with the whole finance, insurance, and real estate sector.
Part I of this report discusses some further characteris
tics of the banking industry and presents data for tellers
and selected clerical and data processing jobs studied in 28

one-fifth in Milwaukee, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Hartford, and
Detroit to 5 percent in New York. Part-time workers were
commonly employed as proof-machine operators, com
mercial-savings and all-round tellers, and file clerks.
Women, who made up four-fifths of the workers in the
occupations studied, held down more than nine-tenths of
the clerical positions and more than four-fifths of the teller
classifications, according to the December 1976 area study.
Nationwide, women accounted for all of the elevenfold in
crease in the number of tellers between 1950 and 1976; as a
result, the proportion of men employed as tellers declined
from 55 percent to 9 percent over the past quarter cen
tury . 7 Men accounted for nearly two-thirds of the incum
bents in computer jobs and about three-fifths of the con
sumer loan officers in December 1976.
Although the survey was primarily designed to provide
occupational earnings information for selected areas, dra
matic shifts in occupational employment can be observed
by comparing the combined area data from this and earlier
surveys. In 1960 (27 areas), more than 18,000 workers
were classified as bookkeeping-machine operators, com
pared with about 1,300 in 1973 and just over 1,200 in
1976 (28 areas) . 8 This occupation has been largely replaced
by electronic bookkeeping machines and computers which
require substantially fewer workers to accomplish the same
tasks.
Summary
Average weekly earnings of commercial and savings bank
employees varied considerably within and among the 28
metropolitan areas surveyed in December 1976.6 These dif
ferences reflect the diversity of skills required by the indus
try and variations in pay by locality and establishment.
Computer systems analysts working independently on com
plex problems (class A) were usually the highest paid bank
employees studied in an area. They averaged at least three
times as much as file clerks doing routine work (class C),
who were usually the lowest paid. Among the 28 areas
studied, average earnings for workers in the same occupa
tion commonly varied by 30 to 50 percent.
Commercial-savings tellers, numerically the most import
ant of the six teller classifications studied, averaged from
$117.50 a week in New Orleans to $153.50 a week in New
York and Washington, among 22 areas permitting compari
son. Note or vault tellers were usually the highest paying
teller positions in the areas studied; weekly averages for the
former ranged from $130 in Dallas-Fort Worth to $198.50
in New York and for the latter, from $126.50 to $224 in
the same areas.
Banks employing practically all of the workers in each
area granted paid holidays and paid vacations, and paid for
at least part of the cost of various health and insurance
benefits.
Employment. The 2,057 banks within the scope of the sur
vey (each with at least 2 0 workers in its central and branch
banks within a survey area) employed an estimated 355,000
full-time and 53,000 part-time nonsupervisory office em
ployees in December 1976. Employment varied widely
among the 28 metropolitan areas, ranging from under 5,000
in Cincinnati, Louisville, Memphis, and New Orleans to just
under 90,000 in New York. Employment totalled about
37,000 in Los Angeles-Long Beach and Chicago, 29,000 in
San Francisco-Oakland, and 23,000 in Philadelphia.
Part-time workers accounted for about one-eighth of the
nonsupervisory office workers in the combined 28 areas.
The proportion of part-time workers ranged from at least
C hange in in d u stry structure has influenced th e d istrib u
tion of employment among the six teller classifications
studied in 1976—
note, commercial-savings, commercial, sav
ings, all-round, and vault. Reflecting the continued trend
toward branch banking, the number of all-round tellers,
who handle a variety of banking transactions, grew substan
tially in several large areas permitting comparison between
1973 and 1976. In Boston and Philadelphia, employment
of all-round tellers rose by about 50 percent and in Wash
ington, by nearly 100 percent between 1973 and 1976. In
contrast, the Chicago, Kansas City, Houston, and St. Louis
areas where branch banking is not permitted, had no change
or slight declines in the number of all-round tellers during
the same period. Tellers specializing in either commercial or
savings transactions continue to dwindle, as they are re
placed, in part, by commercial-savings tellers and all-round
tellers.

Industry characteristics
4
Productivity. Technological changes have permitted the
banking industry to meet sharply rising demands for its
services with a much smaller increase in employment. 9 Al
though limitations in the available data preclude the devel
opment of precise measures of output and productivity in
banks, the volume of checks processed may be used as a
partial indication of industry output. The Federal Reserve
System handled 3.4 billion checks in 1960 compared with
10.0 billion in 1973 and 13.2 billion in 1976. This repre
sents an annual growth rate of 8.3 percent between 1960
and 1973 and 7.2 percent over the 1973-76 period. During
the same period, total bank employment in the United
States rose at an average rate of 4.5 percent annually, from
672,500 in 1960 to 1.2 million in 1973, and has risen
3.2 percent annually since then, to 1.3 million in 1976.
Method o f wage payment. A majority of workers in all 28
areas were paid under formal plans providing ranges of rates
for specific occupations. Such plans applied to at least ninetenths of the full-time workers in 13 areas (table 59). Pro
gression within the rate ranges was usually determined by
merit review for a majority of workers in most areas. In
formal systems, which based salaries primarily on a work
er’s individual qualifications, applied to between one-fourth
and two-fifths of the full-time workers in Dallas-Fort
Worth, Houston, Miami, Chicago, Kansas City, and St.
Louis.
Unionization. Of the banks visited, those having a majority
of their nonsupervisory full-time office employees covered
by labor-management agreements were found in only 5 of
the 28 areas. They employed slightly less than one-half of
the full-time workers in Milwaukee, three-tenths in Seattle,
one-tenth in New York, and less than one-tenth in Newark
and Washington. Agreements covering a majority of a
bank’s part-time workers were found in only 3 areas—
Washington, Milwaukee, and Seattle. The survey, however,
was not designed to measure precisely unionization in the
industry; thus, estimates presented here may.not reflect the
actual degree of organization in an area.
Weekly earnings for full-time workers most commonly
averaged the highest in New York and lowest in St. Louis or
Louisville (table 1). Occupational earnings varied widely
among the areas studied; the range between the highest and
lowest paying area for most jobs was 30 percent or more.
Proof-machine operators, for example, averaged $150 in
New York, compared with $107 in Louisville, a 40 percent
differential.
Average straight-time weekly hours—
which correspond
to the weekly earnings data developed—
were generally
shortest in New York with 35 to 36 hours for most jobs
and longest in Kansas City, San Francisco, and Seattle
where 40 hours a week were predominant.
The six teller categories studied included almost half of
the workers in the selected occupations. Commercialsavings tellers, who are engaged in cashing checks, receiving
deposits to accounts, and paying out withdrawals on cus
tomers’ checking and savings accounts, made up the largest
occupational group studied, with employment of about
28,000 in the 2 2 areas for which such data could be shown.
Weekly salaries for full-time workers in this category ranged
from $153.50 in New York and Washington to $117.50 in
New Orleans.
Note tellers, who collect exchange charges and payments
on notes, drafts, and rents, and contract for deeds, general
ly averaged at least 1 0 percent more than commercialsavings or all-round tellers (those whose duties combine
commercial-savings and note handling tasks) in areas per
mitting comparison. Pay relationships among the teller cate
gories varied substantially by area, as illustrated in text
table 3.

Occupational earnings
The occupations for which earnings data were developed
accounted for about one-third of the nonsupervisory full
time office workers covered by the December 1976 survey.
The occupations were selected to represent the various
activities performed by bank employees and are presented
in three broad categories—
office clerical, computer, and tel
ler occupations.

the extensive use of rate-range pay plans. The influence of
this method of payment may be observed by comparing
salaries of employees in the same establishment. As illus
trated in text table 4, weekly salaries of workers in the
same job and establishment frequently differed by 30 per
cent or more.
Part-time workers typically averaged less than full-time
workers in the same job and area, but the differential usual
ly amounted to 10 percent or less. Text table 5 illustrates
the relationship of part-time workers to full-time workers in
representative jobs and areas. Again, rate-range plans may
lead, in part, to average pay differences shown for full- and
part-time workers.
Consumer loan officers—
studied for the first time in
1976—
averaged between $168.50 a week in Memphis and
$327.50 in Houston. The earnings spread for 15 of 23 other
areas permitting comparison for loan officers was $225 to
$275. These workers, who examine and evaluate loan and
other credit applications, ranked just below top-level sys
tems analysts and programmers— highest paid workers in
the
the survey. Individual earnings were widely dispersed for
loan officers, reflecting in part, different levels of respon
sibility and pay within and among banks in the same area.
In Kansas City, for example, the middle range of earnings
for the 114 consumer loan officers surveyed was $229 to
$326.
Average weekly earnings of employees in the computer
occupations studied varied substantially depending on the
complexity of work performed and the degree of indepen
dent judgment involved. Within the nine areas where com
parisons were possible, programmers working independent
ly or under only general direction on complex problems
(class A) averaged between 28 and 74 percent more than
those applying standard procedures to routine problems
(class C). Average earnings for class A programmers ranged
from $264 in Cincinnati to $349 in Nassau-Suffolk; the
range for class C programmers was from $175.50 in Wash
ington to $235 in New York.
Class A systems analysts, who were usually the highest
paid employees in the 15 areas for which data for that
classification could be published, averaged between $332 in
St. Louis and $402.50 in New York. Class C computer
operators, the lowest paid workers in the computer occupa
tions, averaged between $120 in St. Louis and $183.50 in
Los Angeles.
Secretaries, as a group, were numerically the most im
portant and highest paid clerical workers studied in nearly
all of the areas. Their average earnings, however, varied
widely within individual areas, largely based on the position
held by their supervisor. In New York, class A secretaries
(those working for the chairman of the board or president
of a bank employing 100 to 5,000 employees or other offi
cers of larger banks), averaged $238 a week compared with
$192.50 for class D secretaries (those working for super
visors of small units or nonsupervisory staff specialists).
Class C file clerks (those doing routine work) averaged
the least among the workers surveyed in each of the 2 1
areas for which data for that classification could be pre
sented. They averaged from $101.50 a week in Louisville to
$123 in New York.
Individual earnings of employees varied considerably
within the same occupation and area in most instances
(tables 3 through 56). The dispersion of earnings reflects
differences in pay levels among individual banks as well as
Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
Information was obtained on the prevalence of mini
mum entrance salaries for inexperienced full-time typists
and savings tellers and on entrance rates for their part-time
counterparts. In addition, the following practices and bene
fits for full-time nonsupervisory office workers were stud
ied and, where appropriate, were related to provisions for
part-timers: Scheduled weekly hours and shift practices;
overtime premium pay; and the incidence of paid holidays,
paid vacations, and health, insurance, and retirement plans.
Minimum entrance salaries and rates. Two occupational
classifications (inexperienced typists and savings tellers)
were studied in the 592 banks visited to determine the
existence and amount of minimum entrance salaries and
rates (tables 57 and 58). For inexperienced full-time typists
and savings tellers, formally established pay provisions at
the entry level were reported in nine-tenths of the banks
having such workers. (About 40 percent of the banks em
ployed typists, and about 30 percent employed savings tel
lers.) Salaries paid inexperienced full-time typists ranged
from under $90 a week in Philadelphia, Kansas City and St.
Louis to over $130 in Detroit; most commonly, however,
they clustered between $100 and $115 a week. Entrance
rates for full-time savings tellers generally fell in the same
range as for typists, but were somewhat higher than for
typists in a few areas studied, such as Hartford and SeattleEverett.
Formal entrance rates for inexperienced part-time typ
ists were reported in about four-fifths of the 137 banks
hiring such workers—
only about one-fourth of all banks
studied. Formal entrance rates for part-time savings tellers
were found in just under seven-eighths of the 118 banks
having this classification—
about one-fifth of those studied.
Entrance rates varied widely, from $2.30 an hour to $3.30

these two classifications.
Houston, and Miami. At the time of the survey, however,
only one-tenth or less of the workers were actually em
ployed on late shifts. Workers on late shifts typically re
ceived a uniform percentage over their day-shift rates, com
monly 1 0 percent.
Scheduled weekly hours and shift practices. About one-half
or more of the nonsupervisory full-time office workers in
19 areas were in banks with work schedules of 40 hours a
week (table 60). Shorter work schedules, commonly 35, 36,
and 2>lVi hours a week, were most frequently reported in
the Northeast, where they applied to a majority of the
workers in each area surveyed.
Banks with formal provisions for late-shift work
accounted for a majority of the nonsupervisory full-time
office workers in all areas studied except Denver-Boulder,
Overtime premium pay. Virtually all of the banks surveyed
had formal provisions for premium pay for weekly overtime
work (table 61). One and one-half times the worker’s regu
lar rate was the usual pay for work in excess of 40 hours a
week in all areas. The principle of “ fluctuating workweek”
for weekly overtime was found in only four areas and cov-
7
Paid vacations. Paid vacations to full-timers after qualifying
periods were provided by all of the banks studied
(table 64). Typical provisions included 2 weeks of vacation
pay after 1 year of service; 3 weeks or more after 10 years
(after 5 years in Miami and certain areas of the Northeast
and West); and at least 4 weeks after 20 years (after 15 in
Atlanta, Hartford, New York, and the Pacific Coast areas).
Provisions for 5 weeks or more after 30 years’ service cov
ered a majority of Milwaukee’s workers and one-fifth to
two-fifths of those in eight other areas studied.
Paid vacation provisions were more commonly found
for part-time bank employees than were paid holidays. Sub
stantial proportions of part-timers were covered by paid
vacation provisions— majority in 18 areas and about threea
tenths or more in another 9 areas. Coverage ranged from at
least seven-eighths of the part-time workers in NassauSuffolk, Milwaukee, and the four Pacific Coast areas stud
ied to less than one-tenth in Memphis.

Provisions for premium pay for daily overtime work
applied to all or nearly all of the workers in Los AngelesLong Beach, Portland, and San Francisco-Oakland; two
fifths in St. Louis; one-fourth in Louisville and Washington;
and to one-sixth or less in the nine other areas studied
reporting such provisions (table 62). Most commonly,
workers were paid time and one-half for work in excess of
8 hours per day.
Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Life, hospitaliza
tion, surgical, basic medical, and major medical insurance
benefits were provided by banks employing about ninetenths or more of the nonsupervisory full-time workers in
all areas. Pay continuation plans covering absence due to
illness or accident were provided to a majority of such
workers in all areas (seven-eighths in 20 areas). Long-term
disability insurance plans were available to one-half or more
of the full-time workers in 22 areas and to at least threetenths in the other six areas studied. Accidental death and
dismemberment insurance, in addition to basic life insur
ance, covered a majority of full-time workers in 21 areas
and at least a fourth in the other seven areas studied. The
proportion of workers covered by health and insurance
plans wholly financed by employers varied considerably
among the areas, even for areas with similar proportions of
worker coverage (table 65).
Health and insurance plans usually covered five-sixths or
more of the nonsupervisory part-time workers in Pacific
Coast banks but one-half or slightly more of such workers
in only three other areas studied—
Nassau-Suffolk (67 per
cent) Milwaukee (60 percent), and Minneapolis-St. Paul
(58 percent). Elsewhere, the proportion of part-time em
ployees covered by these plans was usually about one-tenth
or less.
Retirement benefits (other than Federal social security),
usually financed entirely by the employer, were provided
by banks employing at least three-fourths of the nonsuper
visory full-time workers in each area (over 95 percent in 15
areas). These benefits usually stemmed from pension plans
providing regular payments for the remainder of the re
Paid holidays. All of the surveyed banks provided paid holi
days to nonsupervisory full-time office workers—
ranging
from under 6 days to 14 days annually (table 63). Typical
ly, provisions were most liberal in the Northeastern areas,
where all workers received 10 paid holidays or more a year;
in contrast, all workers in Atlanta and nine-tenths in New
Orleans, received among the fewest, 6 days annually. Even
within some areas, provisions varied widely. In Chicago, for
example, one-sixth of the workers received 6 days a year
while two-fifths were granted 12 days.
Unlike their full-time counterparts, large proportions of
nonsupervisory part-time office workers did not receive
paid holidays (table 66). A majority of part-time workers in
banks received no paid holidays in 15 of the 28 areas stud
ied and at least three-tenths were not granted paid holidays
in another eight areas. Holiday provisions for part-time
workers were most commonly reported in the Pacific Coast
banks and were rarely found in Atlanta and New Orleans.
10Under the principle o f the fluctuating workweek, pay for
overtime work is determined by dividing the weekly salary by the
total number o f hours worked during the week (to obtain the base
hourly rate for the week) and then applying the established over
time pay ratio for the overtime hours worked.
8
tiree’s life. In four areas studied—
Boston, Nassau-Suffolk,
Chicago, and Kansas City—
retirement severance pay (one
payment or several over a specified period of time) was
available to significant proportions of workers in addition
to, or in lieu of, pensions.
9
Retirement benefits (other than Federal social security)
were available to 85 percent or more of the nonsupervisory
part-time workers in Pacific Coast banks, to over 50 percent
in seven other areas, but to none or a minority in the other
17 areas studied.

2 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time
salaries and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours. Average weekly hours are rounded to the
nearest half hour and average weekly earnings to the nearest half dollar. Earnings information excludes
premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. These surveys, based
on a representative sample of establishments, are designed to measure the level of occupational earnings

with different pay levels. Such shifts, for example, could decrease an occupational average, even though
most establishments increased wages between periods being compared.

movements because of change in the sample composition, and shifts in employment among establishments
with different pay levels. Such shifts, for example, could decrease an occupational average, even though
most establishments increased wages between periods being compared.

Additional part-time workers and average hourly rates were reported for the following
classifications: 91 tellers at $2.58; and 76 commercial-savings at $2.53.

2 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time
salaries and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours. Average weekly hours are rounded to the
nearest half hour and average weekly earnings to the nearest half dollar. Earnings information excludes
pre m i u m pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. These surveys, based
on a representative sample of establishments, are designed to measure the level of occupational earnings

movements because of change in the sample composition, and shifts in employment among establishments
with different pay levels. Such shifts, for example, could decrease an occupational average, even though
most establishments increased wages between periods being compared.

on a representative sample of establishments, are designed to m e a s u r e the level of occupational earnings
at a particular time.
Thus, comparisons m a d e with previous studies m a y not reflect expected wage
m o v e m e n t s because of change in the sample composition, and shifts in em p l o y m e n t a m o n g establishments
with different pay levels. Such shifts, for example, could decrease an occupational average, even
though m o s t establishments increased wages between periods being compared.

Part II. Life Insurance
S u m m a ry
Salaries for 37 representative occupations in life insur
ance home and regional head offices averaged from $530.50
a week for class A actuaries to $107 for class C file clerks in
December 1976.11 Earnings varied considerably among and
within the occupations studied, reflecting diverse occupa
tional requirements o f the industry and the extensive use of
pay plans providing ranges of rates for specific job cate
gories.
Occupational averages tended to be highest in the Middle
Atlantic region and lowest in the Southeast and South
west.12 Among 13 standard metropolitan areas studied sep
arately, earnings usually were highest in the combined New
York and Newark area and lowest in Dallas, Houston, or
Jacksonville.13 Workers in offices employing at least 1,000
employees generally had higher average earnings than those
employed in smaller offices.
Nearly all establishments studied provided paid holidays,
paid vacations, and at least part o f the cost o f various types
of health, insurance, and retirement plans. Workers typical
ly received between 8 and 12 holidays and, depending on
length o f service, between 2 and 4 weeks of paid vacation
annually.
In d u s t r y c h a ra c te ris tic s
Employment trends. Home and regional head offices o f life
insurance companies within the scope of the survey em
ployed 122,602 nonsupervisory office workers in December
197614 —
down 4 percent from December 1971.15 Employ1 ^ee appendix B for scope and method of study and appendix
C for occupational descriptions. Wage data exclude premium pay for
overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late s i t .

In addition to the New York-Newark combined area, data are pre
sented separately for the New York City portion (5 boroughs).
14The nonsupervisory office workers included i this study
n
accounted for about two-fifths of the 296,300 nonsupervisory
workers estimated to be employed by the l f insurance industry i
ie
n
December 1976 ( E m p lo y m e n t a n d E arnings, Vol. 24, No. 3 March
,
1977). The current survey excludes: (1) Workers not attached to
home and regional head offices, including sales personnel-a sub
stantial proportion of the l f insurance work force; (2 ) establish
ie
ments not owned by stockholders or policy holders; (3) establish
ments employing fewer than 50 workers; and (4) Workers engaged
in nonoffice functions ( . . maintenance and powerplant workers).

All of these are included i the E m p lo y m e n t and E arnings data.

ment declines were largest in the Middle Atlantic and Bor
der States (14 and 13 percent, respectively). Employment
also fell in New England (6 percent) and the Great Lakes
States (9 percent), but rose in the Southeast (8 percent),
Southwest (15 percent), Middle West (3 percent), and Paci
fic regions (19 percent).
Location. Slightly more than three-fifths o f the office
workers were concentrated in three regions: New England
(one-fifth), the Middle Atlantic (just under one-fourth), and
the Great Lakes (slightly more than one-sixth). The South
east accounted for about one-eighth of the workers. The
remaining regions each employed less than one-tenth.
Virtually all offices within the scope of the study were
located in metropolitan areas.16 Data were tabulated separ
ately for 13 major metropolitan areas, which together made
up nearly two-thirds of the industry employment. Non
supervisory office employment in these areas ranged from
about 700 in Baltimore to 22,500 in the New York-Newark
area. The next two largest insurance centers studied separ
ately were Boston (7,000) and Hartford (13,500).
Type o f operation. About nine-tenths of the workers were
employed by home offices. Regional offices accounted for
less than one-fifth of the workers in all regions except the
Pacific; in the Pacific region, just under half of the workers
were in such offices.
Survey employment was evenly divided between com
panies owned by stockholders and mutual companies (those
owned by policyholders). Regionally, however, the propor
tions varied substantially. For example, mutual companies
employed four-fifths of the employees in the Middle Atlan
tic region but one-fifth or less in the Border States, South
east, and Southwest regions.
Nine-tenths o f the workers were in firms also underwrit
ing other types of insurance (e.g., accident, hospitalization,
fire). These offices accounted for at least three-fourths of
the workers in each region studied.
Size o f establishment. Individual establishments17 studied
ranged in size from about 50 to over 10,000 in total em
ployment. Offices employing less than 500 workers
accounted for four-fifths o f the establishments but less than

three-tenths o f the non supervisory office workers. At the
upper end of the scale, establishments with at least 1,000
workers made up just under one-tenth of the offices, but
employed just under three-fifths of the nonsupervisory
workers.
Unionization. Firms with labor-management contracts cov
ering a majority o f their nonsupervisory office employees
accounted for less than 5 percent o f the workers and were
found in only three regions: The Middle Atlantic, South
west, and Great Lakes.
Occupational staffing. Most o f the personnel in home o ff
ices and regional head offices are clerical and related work
ers, including secretaries, stenographers, typists, filing and
general clerks, and operators o f bookkeeping and other
types of office machines. They perform much o f the same
kind o f work for insurance companies as their counterparts
in other types o f business enterprises. However, other work
ers in insurance offices have jobs unique to the industry,
including correspondents, policy evaluation clerks, and pre
mium acceptors. Some higher level jobs, including claim
approvers and underwriters, involve considerable respon
sibility and require extensive knowledge o f one or more
phases of the life insurance business.
Professional workers account for a relatively small pro
portion o f the work force in life insurance offices. One
profession for which data are provided in this report is
actuary. These workers make statistical studies on various
kinds of risks to determine the premium charge on each
type of policy.
Electronic data processing (EDP) employees made up
about one-sixth of the nonsupervisory office workers with
in the scope of the study. The number and relative impor
tance o f EDP personnel have grown dramatically in the last
15 years The rapid growth in EDP jobs, especially systems
analysts and programmers, has been accompanied by sub
stantial declines in certain clerical occupations, such as fil
ing and premium-ledger-card clerks. (See chart 1.)
Method o f wage payment. All workers studied were paid
time rates (table 83). More than nine-tenths o f the workers
were under formal plans providing ranges of rates for speci
fic occupations. Typically, advancement within a rate range
was made on the basis of merit or a combination of merit
and length o f service. Other workers were paid according to
their individual qualifications, without reference to a
structured rate range. This informal method o f wage pay
ment was most commonly found in the Southeast and
Southwest regions.
O c c u p a tio n a l e a rn in g s
Thirty-seven occupational classifications, accounting for
40,622 employees, were selected to represent office salary
levels in insurance companies in December 1976. Nation
wide, average (mean) weekly earnings ranged from $530.50
for class A actuaries to $107 for class C file clerks
(table 67).
For the 33 classifications comparable to those studied in
1971, average salary increases ranged from 22 to 47 per
cent. The median of these increases over the 5-year period
was 33 percent.
Men were predominant in most of the relatively high
paying professional occupations, as actuaries, underwriters,
computer programmers, and systems analysts. Averages for
these jobs typically fell between $250 and $350 per week.
Women, on the other hand, made up almost all of the
workers in the general clerical occupations studied. Except
for secretaries, averages for all jobs in these categories were
less than $175 per week. Secretaries, as a group, averaged
$179, ranging from $157.50 for class D to $216.50 for class
A. The class A secretary works for the chairman of the
board of a company with between 100 and 5,000 employ
ees; and the class D secretary works for the supervisors of
an organizational unit of 30 workers or less or for a non
supervisory staff specialist.
Occupational averages were usually highest in the Middle
Atlantic region and lowest in the Southeast or Southwest.
As illustrated in text table 6, the extent o f regional differ
ences varied considerably by job classification. For exam
ple, weekly salaries o f class B claim approvers in the Middle
Atlantic region ($257) were 22 to 63 percent above those of
their counterparts in the other seven regions studied. The
salary average for class B actuaries in the Middle Atlantic
region ($403.50) was 4 to 21 percent above the averages in
other regions. Excluding the Middle Atlantic region, the
regional spread in occupational averages typically was 15 to
30 percent.
Nationwide averages for men were usually higher than
for women in the same job. However, when comparisons
were limited to the same job and region, the differential
usually amounted to less than 10 percent. Differences in
the averages for men and women doing the same job may
result from several factors, including variation in the distri
bution of men and women among establishments having
different pay levels. Also, as noted above, a large proportion
of workers were paid under range-of-rate plans. Thus, high
er average pay for men may be the result of a relatively
larger proportion of men at the higher end of the rate-range
scales.
Occupational averages were usually higher in offices em-

ploying 1,000 workers or more than in small establishments
(table 68). This general relationship held in New England,
the Middle Atlantic, and the Southeast, the only regions
permitting such a comparison.
Among the areas studied separately, occupational aver
ages were almost always highest in the New York-Newark
area and were usually lowest in three southern areas: Dallas,
Houston, and Jacksonville (tables 69-82). Interarea differ
ences varied substantially by job, however. For example,
class B accounting clerks in New York-Newark averaged 16
percent more than those in Jacksonville; the corresponding
differential for class B claim approvers was 87 percent, fav
oring New York-Newark.
Individual earnings varied widely within most occupa
tions studied. As illustrated in text table 7, middle ranges o f
earnings for most occupations yielded dispersion factors o f
20 percent or more.
This relatively broad range o f earnings within occupa
tions was also observed within the areas studied. Thus,
within an area some occupations with relatively high earn
ings (as measured by their average weekly earnings) includ
ed workers earning less than others in occupations with
considerably lower averages. Text table 8 illustrates such

employees and work schedules for all nonsupervisory office
employees, as well as selected supplementary wage benefits,
including holidays, vacations, and health, insurance, and re
tirement plans. These data apply only to full-time em
ployees.
service, were provided by all establishments studied
(table 86). Most workers were eligible for 2 weeks after
1 year o f service, at least 3 weeks after 10 years o f service,
and 4 weeks or more after 20 years. Nearly two-fifths of
the workers were covered by plans providing at least 5
weeks of vacation after 30 years o f service. Regionally,
3 weeks of vacation were available to more than half the
workers in New England, the Middle Atlantic, and the Paci
fic States after only 5 years o f service; 4 weeks after
15 years and 5 weeks after 25 years applied to a majority
only in New England.

Scheduled weekly hours and shift practices. Four-fifths of
the office workers were employed by establishments sched
uling a workweek of between 35 and 37.5 hours in Decem
ber 1976 (table 84). Slightly more than two-fifths o f these
workers were scheduled for 37.5 hours. Longer schedules,
typically 38.75 or 40 hours, were most commonly found in
the Middle West, Southwest, and Pacific regions.
About 12 percent of the EDP employees were employed
on late shifts at the time o f the survey. Most o f these work
ers received differentials above day-shift workers, typically
10 percent for second shifts and 10 or 15 percent for third
or other late shifts.
Paid holidays. Paid holidays were provided by offices em
ploying virtually all workers (table 85). Seven-tenths o f the
workers received between 8 and 12 days annually. Provi
sions varied widely by region. For example, nearly ninetenths of the workers in the Middle Atlantic region received
at least 12 days; in the Southeast, Southwest, and Middle
West regions, at least half o f the workers received 8 days or
less.

Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Virtually all office
workers were in establishments providing life, hospitaliza
tion, surgical, basic medical and major medical insurance
(table 87). Four-fifths o f the workers were also covered by
accidental death and dismemberment insurance. Paid sick
leave was provided to about nine-tenths of the workers,
usually at full pay with no waiting period; three-fifths of
the workers were covered by sickness and accident policies.
Long-term disability plans, which take effect after the ex
piration o f sick leave or sickness and accident plans, applied
to three-fourths of the workers—
one of the largest propor
tions among industries studied by the Bureau. Dental insur
ance was available to two-fifths o f the employees.
Retirement pension plans (in addition to Federal social
security) were provided to nearly all workers. Lump sum
severance payments, however, were rarely found.
Most o f the life insurance and pension plans were fin
anced entirely by the employer. However, only about twofifths or less o f the workers were covered by simarily fin
anced health plans, and noncontributory dental insurance
was virtually nonexistent.

Other selected benefits. Funeral leave covered nine-tenths
o f the workers, and jury duty leave virtually all of the
workers (table 88); these plans were available to at least
four-fifths o f the workers within each of the regions and
areas studied separately. Free lunches or monetary allow
ances for lunches were available to three-tenths o f the
workers. These benefits were most common in the Middle
Atlantic and Southeast regions.

Appendix A. Life Insurance Sales Agents
Occupational information presented in part II of this
bulletin is limited to selected professional, technical,
and clerical classifications o f home and regional head
offices in the life insurance industry. Sales agents,
although accounting for 1 in every 3 w orkers in the
industry, were not included mainly because the survey
was not designed to measure commissions, the m ajor
source of their earnings. T he descriptive material that
follows summarizes some typical company pay plans
and procedures for agents o f m ajor insurance carriers,
based on about a dozen union contracts, discussions
w ith officials of these carriers, and findings from
surveys conducted by the Life Insurance M arketing
and Research Association and National Association of
Life Underwriters. No actual pay data were collected
for sales agents during the Decem ber 1976 survey
conducted by the BLS nor was there an attem pt made
here to cover comprehensively all of the variations,
fine details, and mechanisms that combine to produce
agents’ earnings.
While earnings o f experienced life insurance agents
come almost entirely from sales commissions, the
inexperienced agent is paid a regular salary, or draw,
during the first 2 or 3 years o f his/her career, during
w hich time a specified level of production must be
maintained. U nder this “ financing arrangem ent,” the
agent-in-training is usually credited w ith a portion of
earned commissions, subject to particular company
policy. A ccording to a study conducted by the Life
Insurance M arketing and Research Association (LIMRA), the median annual financing payment to inexper
ienced (first year) recruits was about $9,500 in 1975,
and their mean commission earnings, nearly $2,000.
The basic determinants of sales agents’ commissions
are the types of policies sold, their face values, the age
of the insured, and the term o f premium payment. It is
com m on practice, for example, for an agent to receive a
commission of 50 to 55 percent of the first year’s
premium on a whole life insurance policy—one o f the
most popular today. In subsequent years, the agent will
normally receive residual payments, for example, 10 to
12 percent of the premiums in each of the next 3 or 4
years. Annual residual payments can make up a signifi
cant portion of an agent’s current earnings. Even
within a w hole life policy, the specific rate o f commis
sion varies greatly, declining as the age of the insured
increases and the term o f premium payment shortens.
O ther types o f policies, such as term insurance, carry
low er commission rates than whole life, and, lacking
cash value, they carry low er premiums for given face
values. Table A-l illustrates the wide range of commission
rates for different types of policies written by agents from a
major insurance carrier.
Industry sources indicate that most agents require at
least 5 years o f experience to establish clientele and a
sustained earnings stream. A study by LIM R A and the
National Association of Life U nderw riters (N A LU )
showed that 1975 personal income ranged from slightly
under $20,000 to $40,000 for the middle half o f N A L U
agents w ith 5 years or more o f experience. Their
median income in 1975 was somewhat above that of
class A actuaries—the highest-paying job surveyed by
BLS in D ecem ber 1976. (The actual difference may be
understated by 5 to 10 percent or more because of the
1-year earlier reference date for agents’ earnings.) T he
following tabulation1 displays the m uch broader earn
ings dispersion for agents—an expected finding, given
the wide range within which their pay-determining
elements may vary, including the sales ability of
individual agents.

M i d d l e range
$ 2 5 ,000-$31,000
$19,500-$40,000
1 The annual data for actuaries were estimated by multiplying
weekly earnings for December 1976 by 52. The measures o f central
tendency for agents were derived by interpolating within a given
distribution whose open upper end o f $40,000 or more contained 28
percent o f the agents. Thus, the third quartile of the middle range is
higher than $40,000 and the aforementioned dispersion even greater.

ance carriers (Part o f SIC 631). Included w ere stock
(SIC 6311) and mutual (SIC 6312) carriers; establish
ments owned under other arrangements (SIC 6319)
w ere excluded.
Establishments studied in Part I were selected from
those employing 20 workers or more and in Part II,
from those employing 50 w orkers or more. This size
determ ination was made at the time of reference of the
data used in compiling the universe lists. Tables B-l and
B-2 show the number of establishments and workers
estimated to be within the scope o f the surveys, as well
as the number actually studied by the Bureau.
Scope o f survey
Part I covers a survey o f commercial and stock
savings banks and trust companies engaged in the
business o f accepting deposits from the public and
extending credit by means o f loans and investments,
and savings banks operating on a mutual basis, w ithout
capital stock (Industries 602 and 603, as defined in the
1967 edition o f the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual, prepared by the U.S. Office o f Management
and Budget). M utual savings banks are located chiefly
in the Northeast.

n
Method of study
Employment
D ata were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s
field staff to a representative sample of establishments
within the scope of each survey. T o obtain appropriate
accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of
large than of small establishments was studied. All
estimates (except information on minimum entrance
salaries) are presented, therefore, as relating to all
establishments in the respective industry, excluding
only those below the minimum size at the time of
reference of the universe data.
Estimates of the number o f workers within the scope
o f the study are intended as a general guide to the size
and composition o f the industry’s labor force, rather
than as precise measures of employment.
Office workers
The term “office w orkers,” as used in this bulletin,
includes nonsupervisory employees such as tellers,
general office clerks, office machine operators, stenog
raphers, actuaries, claim approvers, correspondents,
underwriters, com puter personnel, and all other w o r
kers engaged in office functions. Adm inistrative and
executive employees and those engaged in nonoffice
functions were excluded.
Separate data are presented, where possible, in P art I
for full- and part-time workers. Part-time workers are
defined as those hired to w ork a schedule calling
normally for fewer weekly hours than the establish-
Establishment definition
An establishment is defined for the banking study as
all locations operating within the wage area (SMSA),
and for the insurance survey, as a home or regional
head office within a wage area (SMSA). The wage area
for life insurance carriers outside o f m etropolitan areas
was the county.
132
merit’s schedule for its full-time employees in the same
general type o f work. A specific hours concept is not
the sole criterion for distinguishing between full- and
part-time employees.
Occupational classification
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 C for these descrip
tions.) T he criteria for selection of the occupations
were: The number o f workers in the occupation; the
usefulness of the data in collective bargaining; and
appropriate representation of the entire job scale in the
industry. W orking supervisors, apprentices, learners,
beginners, trainees, and handicapped, tem porary, and
probationary workers were not reported in the data for
Selected occupations in banks. In addition to these
exclusions, part-time workers were not reported in the
jobs covered by the life insurance survey.
Wage data
Inform ation on wages relates to straight-time weekly
o r hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for over
time and for work on weekends, holidays, and late
shifts. Average weekly earnings relate to salaries that
are paid for standard w ork schedules and are rounded
to the nearest half dollar. H ourly earnings for full-time
w orkers in the banking industry (table 1) were com pu
ted by dividing straight-time weekly salary by these
standard w ork schedules. Cost-of-living bonuses were
included as part of the w orkers’ regular pay, but
nonproduction bonus payments, such as Christmas or
yearend bonuses, were excluded.
Average (mean) weekly rates or earnings for each
occupation were calculated by weighting each rate (or
weekly earnings) by the number of workers receiving
the rate, totaling, and dividing by the number of
individuals.
The median designates position; that is, one-half of
the employees covered by the survey received more
than this rate and one-half received less. The middle
range is defined by tw o rates of pay such that onefourth of the employees earned less than the lower of
these rptec a n d one-fourth earned more than the higher
rate.
}
Minimum entrance salaries
Tabulations relate to formally established policies for
133
minimum weekly hiring salaries for inexperienced full
time typists and savings tellers, and minimum hourly
hiring rates for part-time workers in these categories, of
the banks included in the Bureau’s sample. The data
represent only the banks included in the Bureau’s
sample. F or purposes o f this study, inexperienced
w orkers are defined as those who, at the time of hire,
either lack any previous experience, or lack experience
that may be transferable to the job for w hich they are
employed.
Method of wage payment
Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to
the number of workers paid under the various time-rate
systems. Form al rate structures for time-rated workers
provide single rates or a range of rates for individual
job categories. In the absence o f a formal rate structure,
pay rates are determined primarily by the qualifications
o f the individual worker. A single rate structure is one
in w hich 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 o f time.) An experienced w orker
occasionally may be paid above or below the single rate
for special reasons, but such payments are exceptions.
Range-of-rate plans are those in which the minimum,
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 determined
by merit, length o f service, or a combination of these.
Scheduled weekly hours
D ata on weekly hours refer to the predominant work
schedule for full-time office workers employed on the
day shift.
Shift provisions and practices
Shift provisions for full-time workers relate to the
policies of establishments either currently operating
late shifts or having formal provisions covering lateshift work. Practices relate to workers employed on
late shifts at the time of the survey. Second shifts are
defined as ending at or near midnight while third shifts
begin at or near midnight.
Establishment practices and supplementary wage
provisions
Supplementary benefits in an establishment were
considered applicable to all office w orkers if they
applied to half or m ore of such w orkers in the
establishment. Similarly, if fewer than half o f the
w orkers were covered, the benefit was considered
nonexistent in the establishment. Because of length-ofservice and other eligibility requirements, the propor
tion 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. T he summaries o f vacation plans are
limited to formal arrangem ents and exclude informal
plans w hereby time off w ith pay is granted at the
discretion of the em ployer or supervisor. Payments not
on a time basis were converted; for example, a paym ent
o f 2 percent o f annual earnings was considered the
equivalent of 1 week’s pay. T he periods of service for
w hich data are presented represent the most common
practices, but they do not necessarily reflect individual
establishment provisions for progression. F o r example,
changes in proportions indicated at 10 years o f service
may include changes w hich occurred between 5 and 10
years.
Health, insurance, and retirement plans
D ata are presented for health, insurance, pension,
and retirem ent severance plans for which the em ployer
pays all or a part of the cost, excluding program s
required by law such as w orkers’ compensation and
social security. Am ong plans included are those under
w ritten by a commercial insurance company and those
paid directly by the em ployer from his/her current op
erating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose.
D eath benefits are included as a form of life insur
ance. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that
type of insurance under w hich predeterm ined cash
payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly
or m onthly basis during illness or accident disability.
Inform ation is presented for all such plans to which the
em ployer contributes at least a part of the cost.
H owever, in New York and New Jersey, where
tem porary disability insurance laws require employer
contributions,1 plans are included only if the employer
(1) contributes more than is legally required, or (2)
provides the employees with benefits w hich exceed the
requirem ents of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to
formal plans w hich provide full pay or a proportion of
the w orker’s pay during absence from w ork 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.
Long-term disability insurance plans provide pay
ments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration
o f sick leave, sickness and accident insurance, or both,
or after a specified period of disability (typically 6
months). Payments are made until the end o f disability,
a maximum age, or eligibility for retirem ent benefits.
Payments may be full or partial, but are almost always
reduced by social security, w orkers’ compensation, and
private pension benefits payable to the disabled em
ployee.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for
com plete or partial payment of doctors’ fees. Such
plans may be underw ritten by a commercial insurance
com pany or a nonprofit organization, or they may be a
form of self-insurance.
Dental insurance. Data relate to formal plans cover
ing normal dental services such as fillings, extractions,
and x-rays. Many health insurance plans provide bene
fits for certain kinds of oral surgery or dental care
required as a result of an accident; plans limited to such
conditions are excluded.
M ajor medical insurance, sometimes referred to as
extended medical or catastrophe insurance, includes
plans designed to cover employees for sickness or
injury involving an expense w hich exceeds the normal
coverage o f hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
-Tabulations of retirem ent pensions are limited to
plans which provide regular payments for the remain
der o f the retiree’s life. D ata are presented separately
for retirem ent severance pay (one payment or several
over a specified period of time) made to employees on
retirement. Establishments providing both retirem ent
severance payments and retirem ent pensions to em
ployees were considered as having both retirem ent
pensions and retirem ent severance plans; however,
establishments having optional plans providing em ploy
ees a choice of either retirem ent severance payments or
pensions were considered as having only retirment
pension benefits.
Paid funeral and jury-duty leave. D ata for paid funeral
and jury-duty leave relate to formal plans which
provide at least partial payment for time lost as a result
of attending funerals of specified family members or
serving as a juror.
Free lunches. D ata relate to formal plans providing
either free lunches or a m onetary allowance for
lunches.
1 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do
not require employer contributions.

Appendix C. Occupational Descriptions
The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to
assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers w ho are employed
under a variety of payroll titles and different w ork 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 inter
establishment 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 was instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners,
trainees, and handicapped, tem porary, and probationary w orkers in banks. In addition to
these exclusions, part-time workers in life insurance offices also were not reported.
Selected clerical occupations

140
program ming actions needed to efficiently utilize
the com puter system in achieving desired end
products.
A t this level, program m ing is difficult because
com puter equipment must be organized to produce
several interrelated but diverse products from
numerous and diverse data elements. A wide
variety and extensive number of internal process
ing actions must occur. This requires such actions
as developm ent of common operations w hich can
be reused, establishment of linkage points between
operations, adjustments to data w hen program
requirem ents exceed com puter storage capacity,
and substantial manipulation and resequencing of
data elements to form a highly integrated program .
