Industry Wage Survey—
Basic Iron and Steel, March 1962
Summary
In March 1962, production and related workers in the basic iron and
steel industry earned an average of $ 3 .1 7 an hour, exclusive of premium pay
for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. 1 In the earn­
ings array, the middle half of the 484, 600 steelworkers had straight-time earnings
ranging between $ 2 .7 8 and $ 3 .5 1 an hour. Among the 79 jobs for which separate
information was obtained, average straight-time hourly earnings ranged from
$ 2 .3 2 for janitors to $ 5 .5 7 for tandem-mill rollers. The inclusion of premium
pay for work on Sundays and late shifts added varying amounts, ranging up to
6 percent, to the job pay levels. All establishments reporting had formal pro­
visions for paid vacations, paid holidays, various types of health and life insur­
ance benefits, retirement pensions, and other supplementary benefits.
Industry Characteristics
The manufacture of basic iron and steel products consists of a series of
processes that are closely related and yet quite varied. First, iron ore is r e ­
duced to moulten iron in blast furnaces.
The iron is then converted into steel
in open-hearth or other types of steelmaking furnaces.
Finally, the steel is
rolled into basic products, such as plates, sheets, strips, rods, bars, and struc­
tural shapes.
These basic products are usually sold for further processing;
however, many steel plants also produce finished products, such as wire, pipes,
and tubes. The chart on page 2 indicates the major steelmaking processes and
some of the important products of the industry.
Iron and steel plants differ in the number and types of operations they
perform. Many of these plants are fully integrated, that is, they operate coke
plants, blast furnaces, steel furnaces, and rolling and finishing m ills. 2 Some
plants are partially integrated, having steelmaking furnaces and rolling m ills or
forging shops but not operating blast furnaces.
Nonintegrated plants include
(1) those which operate only blast furnaces or (2) those which are engaged in
rolling and finishing various products from steel but do not operate either blast
furnaces or steelmaking furnaces.
Open-hearth furnaces produced 86 percent of the 1961 output of 98 million
tons of ingot steel. 3 This method of production has been predominant since the
early 1900’ s, accounting for nine-tenths of the steel produced in 1940. Electric
1 See appendix A for scope and method of survey.
2 In 1958, approximately half of the workers in the industry were in fully
integrated works, three-tenths in partially integrated works, and the remainder in
nonintegrated works. See: U. S. Bureau of the Census, U. S. Census of Manu­

furnaces accounted for 9 percent of the 1961 tonnage. During the past few years,
however, new steelmaking processes have been introduced which appear likely to
grow during the years ahead. The basic oxygen process accounted for 4 percent
of the steel produced in 1961, an increase of one-fifth over I960. A few years
ago, oxygen furnaces, which speed steelmaking, produced only a few hundred
thousand tons. In addition, some companies have installed facilities to use oxy­
gen in their open-hearth furnaces to speed the steelmaking process. One large
steel m ill recently reported that its hourly output had been increased 150 percent
by this method. 4 Other recent technological improvements in steelmaking include
the increased beneficiation of iron ore to remove impurities and obtain a better
product for blast furnaces, and the increased use of electric furnaces.
Steel is manufactured in more than half of the States.
Pennsylvania
and Ohio are the major centers, together accounting for about 45 percent of
the Nation1 s steelmaking capacity.
Other important steel-producing States in­
clude Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, Michigan, New York, Alabama, California,
and West Virginia; each of these States accounted for Z percent or more of total
ingot capacity.
The industry is characterized by multiplant company operations
plants. Four companies (U. S. Steel, Bethlehem, Republic, and Jones and
accounted for approximately 60 percent of the total ingot capacity. More
thirds of the steelworkers were in plants employing Z, 500 or more

and large
Laughlin)
than twoworkers.

The industry employs workers in more than 1, 000 different types of jobs,
ranging from unskilled labor to highly technical and professional occupations.
Many of these jobs are peculiar to iron and steelmaking. A large proportion of
the workers are directly engaged in making iron and steel and converting it into
partly finished and finished products. Many other workers are required to care
for the vast amount of machinery and equipment used by the industry, to operate
cranes and other equipment to move materials, and to perform other types of
indirect labor.
Virtually all of the plants in the industry had collective bargaining agree­
ments with labor organizations. The United Steelworkers of America (AFL-CIO)
had contracts with plants accounting for about nine-tenths of the industry’ s pro­
duction and related workers.
A common job evaluation system, developed jointly by the major steel
producers and the Steelworkers union and referred to as the "Cooperative Wage
Study” (CWS) system, was used as the basis for rate setting by establishments
employing more than four-fifths of the production and related workers in the in­
dustry.
Under this system, all occupational classifications are assigned point
values on the basis of such factors as experience, skill, responsibility, effort,
and working conditions. These point values, in turn, are related to 1 of 3Z e s ­
tablished labor grades. Janitorial or cleanup labor (grades 1 and Z, which now
have a common rate) were found at the base of the structure; uniform cen ts-perhour increments existed between each of the remaining grades in virtually all
establishments.
Not all of the establishments using the system have the full
complement of grades, in the sense that jobs have been slotted into each grade.
Nearly two-thirds of the workers covered by the study received pay based
on some form of wage incentive. For the large majority of these workers ( 8 8 per­
cent), standard or occupational rates were used at the time of the study as the
base upon which incentive earnings were computed.

Men accounted for about 95 percent of the industry*s production workers.
Women were employed in only a few of the departments in the industry.
Average Hourly Earnings
Earnings of production and related workers in March 1962, in the basic
iron and steel industry averaged $ 3 .1 7 an hour, exclusive of premium pay for
overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
(See table 1.)
Workers paid on an incentive basis averaged $ 3 .4 2 an hour, compared with
$ 2 .7 0 an hour for workers paid time rates. This difference is significantly in­
fluenced by the occupational-mix of workers in the two categories of wage pay­
ment. Workers receiving incentive pay based on standard or occupational rates
averaged $3.43— 9 cents more than workers receiving wage incentives that were
computed independently of standard or occupational rates.
Earnings of all but 1 percent of the 484, 600 workers within the scope
of the survey ranged from $ 2 .2 0 to $5 an hour.
In the earnings array, the
middle half of these workers earned between $ 2 .7 8 and $ 3 .5 1 .
This 7 3-cent
spread compares with a 51-cent interquartile range for tim e-rated workers and a
56-cent range for incentive-paid workers. Differences in the earnings levels for
these two groups of workers explain the wider range recorded for all workers.
Two-thirds of the tim e-rated workers earned less than $ 2 .8 0 an hour, compared
with less than 5 percent of the incentive-paid workers. At the other end of the
scale, 40 percent of the workers receiving incentive pay earned $ 3. 50 or more an
hour, but less than 1 percent of the tim e-rated workers earned as much as $ 3 .5 0 .
Occupational Earnings
The study of occupational earnings was limited to plants which used the
CWS job evaluation system and had a minimum hourly rate of $ 2 ,2 8 5 (including
an I 8 V2 -cent cost-of-living adjustment) with 7 -cent wage increments between job
classes.
It is estimated that these plants in March 1962, accounted for about
seven-tenths of the workers in the industry. 6 Although the common job evaluation
system consists of 32 job classes (job classes 1 and 2 have the same rate), fewer
than 3 percent of the workers were in job class 17 or above at the time of
the study. As indicated in the following tabulation, more than half of the work­
ers were in the first eight job classes.

5 The gross average hourly earnings published in the Bureau's monthly
hours and earnings series for the blast furnace and basic steel products industry
group was $ 3 .2 9 in March 1962. The difference between this figure and $ 3 .1 7 is
accounted for largely by the inclusion in the hours and earnings series of premium
pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The r e ­
maining amount may be due to differences in survey coverage. Unlike this survey,
the Bureau's monthly estimates include all establishments classified in industry
group 331, as defined in the 1957 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual prepared by the Bureau of the Budget.
^ A few plants used the CWS system but had slightly different minimums
and/or wage increments. Such plants were excluded from the occupational portion
of the study.

NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of the components do not equal totals.

The 79 jobs for which data are provided in tables 2 through 4 are repre­
sentative of some of the more important types of occupations found in the industry
and accounted for approximately 57, 000 workers— slightly more than a tenth of
the industry*s production and related workers at the time of the study.
The
occupations were limited to specific departments as indicated, with the exception
of maintenance and service occupations which were found in several departments.
Among the occupations studied, average straight-time hourly earnings
ranged from $ 2 . 32 for janitors to $ 5 .5 7 for tandem-mill rollers (table 2). A ver­
ages for all selected occupations were higher when premium pay for work on
Sundays and late shifts was included in the earnings (table 3). The differences
in the 2 averages amounted to less than 2 percent for 10 jobs, 2 to 4 percent
for 33 jobs, 4 to 6 percent for 35 jobs, and 6 percent for 1 job.
Differences
between straight-time earnings and earnings including Sunday and late-shift pre­
miums amounted to 5 to 6 percent in coke oven, blast furnace, and open-hearth
occupations. The percentage differences in electric furnace and blooming and b il­
let m ill occupations also tended to be greater than in other processing jobs studied.
Within most of the occupations studied, individual earnings varied widely.
This is reflected in the broad range of company averages recorded for the same
occupation.
For example, company averages for first helpers on open-hearth
furnaces ranged under $ 4 to more than $6 an hour.
Similarly, averages for
wire drawers (continuous) ranged from under $ 2 .8 0 to about $ 4 an hour. Such
variations were due to company and establishment differences in the assignment
of job classes (and, thus, the rate) for a particular occupation and in the extent
of incentive wage system s.
Since the job class of each occupation in establishments using the CWS
job evaluation system is determined with reference to point values assigned to a
number of rating fa c to rs,7 it would be expected that the job class assigned to

7 These factors include: Preemployment training, employment training
and experience, mental skill, manual skill, responsibility for material, responsi­
bility for tools and equipment, responsibility for operations, responsibility for
safety of others, mental effort, physical effort, surroundings, and hazard.




6

any one occupation would vary somewhat among companies and among operations
within the same company.
Two or more job classes were, in fact, reported
for each of the occupations studied.
For some occupations (particularly the
maintenance trades) this variation was relatively minor.
Thus, virtually all of
the bricklayers were in job class 15 and all but a very few of the carpenters
were in job class 13. 8 Among many of the occupations, however, a substantial
proportion of the workers were in several different job classes.
For example,
data reported for tandem-mill rollers in continuous hot-strip m ills included 13 job
classes (ranging from 15 to 28) for which earnings information could be presented
separately. 9 Variations in company averages within specific job classes as p re­
sented in table 2 are due entirely to incentive earnings, since the straight-time
rates of pay for hourly-rated workers are based on the job class and are the
same in all companies represented in this portion of the study.
The inclusion
of premium pay for work on Sundays and late shifts, as presented in table 3,
adds to the variations in company averages.
As indicated in table 4, the majority of the workers in all but six of the
occupations studied were paid on an incentive basis. A ssorters in continuous hotstrip m ills, janitors, laborers, toolmakers, automotive repairmen, and first-power
engineers were the only occupations paid predominantly on a tim e-rate basis.
Workers paid incentive wages earned substantially more than hourly­
rated workers employed in the same occupation and job class in each of the
28 instances where comparison was possible. Incentive-paid workers averaged
approximately 30 percent more than tim e-rated workers in 2 classifications
(job class 4 hookers and job class 10 wire drawers), from 15 to 25 percent more
in 12 classifications, from 10 to 14 percent more in 13 classifications, and 9 per­
cent more in 1 classification (laborers, job class 2).
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Provisions in the industry for premium payment for work on late shifts,
weekends, and hours outside the regular work schedule, as well as for supple­
mentary benefits provided to production workers, are practically uniform with
only minor variations among the smaller companies. 10 The more important of
these provisions are summarized in the following paragraphs and apply in nearly
all steel companies having agreements with the United Steelworkers union.
Shift Differentials.
Hours worked on the afternoon and night shifts were
paid for at premium rates of 8 and 12 cents an hour, respectively.
Shift pre­
miums are not added to the base hourly rate for the purpose of calculating in­
centive earnings but are computed by multiplying hours worked by the applicable
differential and then adding the product to the earnings.
Due to the continuous

8 Only employees on standard or journeymen rates were included in the
repair and maintenance trade or craft occupations studied.
Workers at the in­
termediate rate (two job classes below the standard rate) and at the starting rate
(four job classes below the standard rate) were excluded.
9 Whereas the information presented for the occupational classifications
includes data for all workers reported in the classification, the job classes pre­
sented separately were limited to those reported by three or more companies and
for which the data met other publication criteria.
10 There may also be minor variations as to one or more of these practices
in those few cases in which production and maintenance employees are represented
by independent unions.




7

operations required by many of the steelmaking departments, a large proportion
of the workers in the industry are regularly scheduled to work on late shifts.
At the time of the study, it was estimated that a fourth of the workers were em ­
ployed on the afternoon shift and a fifth of the workers were employed on the
night shift.
Sunday Premium Pay.
Many employees are also required to work on
Sundays as part of their regular workweek. A premium rate of 25 percent based
on the regular rate of pay (average straight-time hourly earnings for incentive
workers) was paid for all hours worked on Sundays which were not paid for on an
overtime basis.
(See below. )
Overtime Provisions.
Overtime at the rate of IV2 times the regular
rate of pay was paid for: (1) Hours worked in excess of 8 hours in a workday;
(2) hours worked in excess of 40 hours in a payroll week; and (3) hours worked
on the sixth or seventh workday (a) in a payroll week during which work was
performed on 5 other workdays or (b) of a 7 - consecutive-day period during which
the first 5 days were worked.
Paid Holidays.
Seven holidays with pay were provided: New Year*s
Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving,
and Christmas.
(By local agreement, another day may be selected in place of
Memorial Day. ) If the calendar holiday is on Sunday, the holiday is to be ob­
served the following Monday. When a holiday occurs during an eligible em ployee^
scheduled vacation, he is to be paid for the unworked holiday in addition to his
vacation pay.
Double time and a fourth (total) is to be paid for all hours worked
on any of the 7 paid holidays.
Paid Vacations.
The length of the vacation period and the amount of pay
provided depends on the em ployee^ length of service with the company as indi­
cated in the following tabulation.

The April 1962 agreement also contains provisions for a new savings and vacation
plan which was described in the June 1962 issue of Steel Facts, 11 as follows:

A novel savings and vacation plan to be initiated ef­
fective July 1, 1962, will be financed by company contri­
butions of 3 cents per hour worked by covered employees,
plus amounts (up to 4 V2 cents per hour) not needed for the
operation of the Supplemental Unemployment Benefit Plan.
The new plan will provide benefits in two ways.
First,
each employee will be entitled to 1 weekl s vacation pay
(at I960 rates) for each 5 years of service prior to Jan­
uary 1, 1961. This benefit is payable only at retirement.
To encourage retirement at age 65, or when eligible to r e ­
tire on pension after age 65, this benefit will be reduced
by 10 percent for each full 3 months after the employee
becomes entitled to such pension and does not retire.
Second, the plan provides that, as funds become available
(but not prior to February 1, 1963) employees will become
eligible, in order of their length of continuous service for
a vacation benefit consisting of 1 week of vacation for
every 2 years of credited service subsequent to January 1,
1961, subject to certain minimum hours requirements be­
ginning January 1, 1963.
Employees may choose to take
that extra vacation benefit through 1 of 3 options: (a) Va­
cation time off during current or following year (as sched­
uled by management); (b) at a later time but no sooner
than 24 months after date of entitlement; or (c) receive
the benefit as a lump-sum payment at retirement or term i­
nation of employment or in the event of a special hardship
situation such as extended unemployment or illness.
If the
vacation is deferred in accordance with option (c), em ­
ployees will be entitled to interest on the vacation benefits
thus allowed to accumulate.

Supplemental Unemployment Benefits.
A supplemental unemployment
benefit plan, as amended in the spring of 1962, provides, in general, weekly
benefits (up to a maximum of 52 weeks) equivalent to 24 hours* straight-time
earnings (including unemployment insurance benefits), plus dependents* allowance
for eligible employees on layoff.
The plan also provides for benefits for em ­
ployees who work less than 32 hours per week.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans. A broad program that includes
group life insurance, hospitalization and surgical insurance for active employees
and their dependents, group life insurance, accident and sickness insurance, and
pension benefits has been in effect for many years in some companies, and has
been general in the industry since 1950.
Effective July 1, 1962, pension benefits
were increased and eligibility requirements liberalized for certain employees
under age 65 who are displaced because of the permanent shutdown of a plant,
department, or subdivision.

Appendix A: Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of Survey
The survey included establishments primarily engaged in: (1) Manufacturing hot
metal, pig iron, and ferroalloys from iron ore and iron and steel scrap (blast furnaces);
converting pig iron, scrap iron and scrap steel into steel (steelworks); and hot-rolling iron
and steel into basic shapes such as plates, sheets, strips, rods, bars, and tubing (rolling
m ills); (2) drawing wire and manufacturing nails and spikes from purchased iron or steel
materials; (3) cold rolling steel sheets, strips and bars from purchased hot-rolled steel
sheets or bars and producing other cold-finished steel; and (4) producing welded or seam ­
less steel pipe and tubes and heavy riveted steel pipe from purchased m aterials.

industry 3312 and industries 3315, 3316, and 3317 as defined in the 1957 edition of the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared by the Bureau of the Budget.)
The survey excluded merchant coke ovens (part of industry 3312), establishments
primarily engaged in manufacturing ferro and nonferrous additive alloys by electrometal­
lurgical processes (industry 3313); establishments producing solely for the use of a parent
company classified in other than the steel industry; and establishments employing fewer than
250 workers. Separate auxiliary units such as central offices were also excluded.
Method of Study
Data were obtained from individual company reports submitted to the American Iron
and Steel Institute, in connection with that organization’s regular data-reporting program,
and expanded to accommodate the occupational requirements of the Bureau's study. The in­
formation reported related to a representative payroll period during the first quarter of 1962.
Bureau of Labor Statistics staff selected the occupations to be studied separately,
participated in the development of the supplemental form s, instructions, and definitions re­
quired in the occupational survey, and reviewed all reports for completeness and conformity
with definitions and instructions.
Information used in the development of the industry average and the distribution of
all production and related workers by earnings classes (table 1) was obtained from companies
employing slightly more than four-fifths of the 484, 600 workers estimated to be within scope
of the survey.
The employment estimates provided in this tabulation relate to the entire in­
dustry as previously defined.
The occupational portion of the study (tables 2 through 4) was limited to plants using
the CWS job evaluation system , having the same minimum rate, and employing the same wage
increment between job classes.
The estimates provided in this portion of the study relate
to those plants reporting; such plants employed 325,100 production and related workers at
the time of the study and accounted for nearly all workers employed under this common job
evaluation and rate system.
Information was obtained from reports prepared on a companywide basis, combining
data for all plants within scope of the study.
Production Workers
The term "production workers, " as used in this report,
and all nonsupervisory workers engaged in nonoffice functions.

includes working foremen

Excluded from the study were administrative, executive, professional, and technical
personnel, and force-account construction employees, who were utilized as a separate work
force on the firm 's own properties.

Occupations Selected for Study
Occupational classification was
companies having the CWS job evaluation
chosen for their numerical importance,
representativeness of the pay structure

based on the standard job titles and codes used by
system.
(See appendix C. ) The occupations were
their usefulness in collective bargaining, or their
in the industry.

Wage Data
The wage information in table 1 relates to average 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 allowances were included as part of the workers' regular pay, but non­
production bonus payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.
Two earnings' definitions were used in the occupational portion of the study: (a)
Straight-time hourly earnings, as defined above, and (b) straight-time hourly earnings, plus
premium pay for work on Sundays and late shifts.
Average-hourly rates for each occupation or other group of workers, such as tim e­
rated workers, incentive-paid workers, or all (production) workers were obtained by divid­
ing the sum of the man-hours into the appropriate payroll totals for the group.
Information on the distribution of all workers by earnings classes (table 1), was
obtained from company reports providing man-hours and payroll aggregates for each job class
(or earnings class for companies not having the standard job evaluation system), separately
for tim e-rated workers, workers with incentive earnings based on standard or occupational
rates, and workers with incentive earnings independent of standard or occupational rates.
The average hourly earnings for each group was obtained by dividing total man-hours into
the total straight-time payroll.
The number of workers was obtained by dividing standard
scheduled hours into the man-hours total.

1 Commonly referred to as the "Cooperative Wage Study" (CWS) system.
2 Rates effective October 1, 1961.
3 All employees received the 18V2-cent cost-of-living allowance in effect March 1962.
This figure was added to the hourly rate of tim e-rated workers and to the earnings of workers
paid on an incentive basis. The standard rate was used as the basis for computing earnings of
most incentive paid workers.
4 The same hourly rate applied to job classes 1 and 2.
