Preface
This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of wages and
supplementary benefits for the basic iron and steel industry in September 1972. A similar
study was last conducted in September 1967.
The current study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Rela­
tions. Joseph C. Bush of the Division of Occupational Wage Structures prepared the analy­
sis in this bulletin. Field work for the survey was directed by the Associate Assistant Re­
gional Directors for Operations.
Other reports available from the Bureau’s program of industry wage surveys, as well as
the addresses of the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end of this bulletin.

Basic Iron and S te el, S ep tem ber 1972
Summary

Straight-time earnings of production and related work­
ers in basic iron and steel mills average $4.79 an hour
in September 1972.1 Ninety-three percent of the 400,562
production workers within scope of the survey earned
between $3.50 and $6.50; the middle-half of the workers
earned between $4.17 and $5.30 an hour. Workers in
mills having a common job evaluation system, threefourths of the workers, averaged $4.84 an hour; this
compared with $4.64 for those in other establishments
not having the above system.
Workers paid on an incentive basis, nearly four-fifths
of the work force, averaged $4.98 an hour compared
with $4.09 for time-rated workers. This difference is in­
fluenced by the occupational mix of workers in the two
categories of wage payment. Among the jobs which sepa­
rate data were obtained, average (mean) earnings ranged
from $3.56 for janitors, who were mostly time-rated, to
$8.41 for tandem-mill rollers in continuous hot-strip
mills, nine-tenths of whom received incentive pay.
At least nine-tenths of the production workers were
in mills that provided various types of health and insur­
ance benefits, pension plans, supplemental unemploy­
ment benefits, 9 paid holidays annually, regular paid
vacations, and extended vacation benefits. A large major­
ity of office workers also received many of the above
benefits.
Industry characteristics

Product and processes. 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
reduced to molten iron in blast furnaces. The iron is then
converted into steel in open hearth, basic oxygen, or
electric steelmaking furnaces. Finally, the steel is rolled
into basic products, such as plates, sheets, strips, rods,
bars, and structural shapes. These basic products usually
are sold for further processing; however, many steel
plants also produce finished products, such as wire, pipes,
and tubes. Chart 1 indicates the major steelmaking proc­
esses 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 mills.
Some plants are partially integrated, having steelmaking
furnaces and rolling mills or forging shops, but they do
operate blast furnaces. Nonintegrated plants include
(1) those which operate only blast furnaces or (2) those
which engage in rolling and finishing various products
from steel, but do not operate either blast furnaces or
steelmaking furnaces.
Employment and production. The September 1972
survey was conducted during a period of declining em­
ployment, but relatively high production. Employment
decreased by 10 percent since the Bureau’s last occupa­
tion wage study in the industry— from 509,500 produc­
tion workers in 1967 to 456,700 in 1972,2 while steel
production rose 5 percent.3 One effect of the contrasting
production and employment trends was the nearly 12percent gain in productivity in the steel industry from
1967 to 1972, as measured by output per production
worker man-hour.4 This compares with a corresponding
increase of nearly 22 percent in output per man-hour for
all manufacturing workers.5
Steel production by type of furnace has changed dra­
matically during the 1960’s. The relatively new basic
oxygen process and the increased use of electric furnaces
have opened up new job opportunities while those on
open hearths, have decreased. In 1960, 87 percent of the
steel production came from open hearths, 3 percent from
basic oxygen converters, and 8 percent from electric furn­
aces. In 1973, the corresponding proportions were 26,
55, and 18.6 (See chart 2.)

See appendix B for scope and method o f study. Wage
data in this bulletin exclude premium pay for overtime and for
work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.

Location. Basic iron and steel mills are located in 37
States, but employment is concentrated in only a few
States.7 Slightly less than three-fourths of the work force
were employed in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, California,
and Illinois. Alabama, Maryland, Michigan, and New
York having at least 19,000 workers each, were also im­
portant steel producing States.
Union contract status. All establishments studied re­
ported collective bargaining agreements covering a major­
ity of their plant workers. The United Steelworkers of
America had contracts with plants that employed 95 per­
cent of the industry’s work force. During September
1972, basic steel companies, employing a large majority
of the workers, were operating under contracts with the
Steelworkers which began in August 1971 and were due
to expire in August 1974. However, 10 major steel com­
panies and the Steelworkers settled 3Vi months before the
August 1 expiration date. Both sides attributed the settle­
ment to the Experimental Negotiating Agreement of
March 1973, which set a number of procedural deadlines
and rules for 1974 bargaining.
Slightly over three-tenths of the 44,033 office workers
covered by the survey were under union contracts.
Job evaluation system Three-fourths of the production
workers were employed in establishments using a com­
mon job evaluation system, which has the same minimum
rate and the same increment between job classes.8 Under
this system, all occupational classifications are assigned
point values on the basis of factors such as experience,
skill, responsibility, effort, and working conditions. These
point values, in turn, are related to 1 of 33 established
labor grades. (See appendix A for the wage schedule re­
lating to this system.) At the time of the survey, the min­
imum rate was $3.51 an hour and the uniform increment
between grades was 9.4 cents.9 Janitors and general
laborers, grades 1 and 2, which have the same rate, were
found at the base of the structure. Not all of the estab­
lishment using the system have the full complement of
grades, in the sense that jobs have been slotted into each
grade.
The remaining workers were almost equally divided
(about 8 percent each) among mills that used the job eval­
uation system described above, but had a different mini­
mum rate or different increments between job classes;
mills that used other types of job evaluation systems;
and mills without a formal system.
Method o f wage payment. Nearly four-fifths of the pro­
duction and related workers covered by the study re­
ceived pay based on some form of wage incentive. The
proportions of workers paid on this basis were slightly




over four-fifths in establishments that used the common
job evaluation system and slightly less than two-thirds in
other establishments.
The majority of the workers in all but five of the oc­
cupations studied separately were paid on an incentive
basis. The survey occupations typically paid time rates
were janitors, laborers, metallurgical analysts, pattern­
makers, and test preparers.
Average hourly earnings

Straight-time earnings of production and related work­
ers in basic iron and steel mills averaged $4.79 an hour in
September 1972 (table l) .10 Workers in mills with a com­
mon job evaluation system, three-fourths of the 400,562
workers, earned $4.84 an hour; this compared with a
$4.64 mean average for those in other establishments..
The $4.79 earnings level for production workers in
September 1972 was 40 percent higher than the $3.42 an
hour recorded in September 1967, when a similar survey
was conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.11 Much
of this increase, which outpaced the 35 percent registered
for all manufacturing, is attributable to general wage
changes negotiated under collective bargaining agree­
ments. In mills with a common job evaluation system,
the average advanced 41 percent during the 5 years be­
tween surveys. However, basic hourly wage scales rose 44
percent for job classes 1 and 2 from ($2,445 to $3.51)
and 35 percent for job class 32, the top class in 1967. In
mills without the common system, wage levels rose nearly
39 percent between the survey periods.
Workers in mills having common job evaluation sys­
tems held a wage advantage over those in other mills—
from 8 cents in 1967, the last survey year, to 20 cents in
7

U.S. Bureau of Census, County Business Patterns, 1972.
This system was developed jointly by the Steelworkers
and the steel producers and is known as the “Cooperative Wage
Study” (CWS).
The $3.51 rate does not include a 1-cent cost-of-living
allowance which was in effect on September 1972 for all
workers in mills with the common job evaluation system.
Cost-of-living pay was included, however, in the earnings data
for the survey.
Straight-time average hourly earnings in this bulletin differ
in concept from the gross average hourly earnings published in
the Bureau’s monthly hours and earnings series. Unlike the latter,
the estimate presented here excludes premium pay for overtime
and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Average
earnings are calculated by summing individual hourly earnings
and dividing by the number o f individuals; in the monthly
series, the sum of the man-hour totals reported by establish­
ments in the industry is divided into the reported payroll totals.
The Bureau’s monthly series includes certain establishments that
are excluded from this survey, such as those having fewer than
250 employees and establishments engaged primarily in manu­
facturing electrometallurgical products.

Survey: Basic Iron and Steel, March 1967, BLS Bulletin 1602.

1972. This widening gap reflected the changing pay rela­
tionships of both time and incentive workers between
the two establishment groups. In 1967, their time worker
averages were 1 cent apart while the difference for incen­
tive workers was 14 cents in favor of workers in establish­
ments not having a common job evaluation system. In
1972, timeworkers in common job evaluation system
mills averaged 17 cents more than the mean in the other
group— $4.16 an hour compared with $3.99, and the
spread for incentive workers was reduced to 3 cents
($4.97 for workers in other establishments compared
with $5 in the larger segment).
The increased use of incentives by steel mills also af­
fected the overall pay difference between the two types
of plants. In mills with common job evaluation systems,
the proportion of workers receiving incentive pay in­
creased from 70 percent in 1967 to 84 percent in 1972;
in other establishments, the corresponding figure grew
from 49 to 64 percent. Had the proportions of time and
incentive workers remained constant between surveys,
the difference between the two mill groups would have
been 25 cents instead of 20 cents.12
Earnings of 95 percent of the workers in all mills
ranged from $3.30 to $6.50 an hour. The middlehalf
range was $4.17 to $5.30. This spread of $1.13 compares
with 91 cents for timeworkers and $1.08 for incentive
workers. Differences in individual earnings between the
two groups contributed to the wide range for all workers.
For example, nearly one-half of the timeworkers, in con­
trast to one-tenth of the incentive workers, had earnings
below $4 an hour. Less than one-tenth of the timeworkers, compared with slightly over four-tenths of in­
centive workers, earned $5 or more.
Terms of the May 1974 contract prevously mentioned
in the industry characteristics section of this bulletin pro­
vided for wage increases of 28 to 34.2 cents an hour on
May 1, 1974. In practice, the increases will be greater for
incentive workers, because the amounts were included in
the “incentive calculation rate,” rather than being paid
as an hourly additive. (See appendix A for the pay rate
on May 1, 1974.) Also, the cost-of-living formula was
changed to provide a 1-cent adjustment for each 0.3point movement in the BLS Consumer Price Index
(1967=100), instead of 1 cent for each 0.4 movement
(1957-59=100).13

Occupational earnings

Wage data were obtained for approximately 100 occu­
pational classifications selected to represent earnings
levels for various activities performed by production
workers; about three-tenths of the total production em­
ployment was found in these occupations. For purposes




of this survey, the jobs were divided into two groups.
In the first group, the classification of jobs was limited
to workers in specified departments. The three most
numerically important jobs in this group and their aver­
ages were hookers and scarfers in bloom, slab, and billet
mills ($4.46 and $5.52 an hour, respectively) and wire
drawers in rod and wire mills ($5.32). The most popu­
lous jobs in the second group, which includes workers
regardless of department, were millwrights ($5.41),
laborers ($3.59), and motor inspectors ($5.40). (See
table 2.)
Occupational averages were usually higher in other
establishments than those using a common job evalua­
tion system. Notable exceptions were found mostly
among maintenance craftsmen. Among the 76 occupa­
tions permitting comparisons, the differences in averages
between the two groups of establishments typically
amounted to less than 10 percent.
For skilled repair and maintenance personnel in estab­
lishments that used a common job evaluation system,
data were reported separately for workers receiving the
top rate for the job and for those receiving lower rates.14
Average earnings for those at the top rates ranged from
$5.72 for electronic repairmen to $4.95 for painters.
The difference in earnings between top rated and lower
rated workers within the same job amounted to 5 percent
or less in 16 of the 19 craft occupations where both aver­
ages could be published. In three jobs, those receiving less
than the top rate averaged more than the top rated
journeymen due to the effect of incentive earnings.
Incentive workers covered by the survey usually
earned considerably more than timeworkers in the same
job (table 3). In 44 of 61 possible comparisons,their
wage advantage over timeworkers ranged from 10 to
89 percent.
To better understand the earnings patterns that
emerged among incentive paid jobs, the formal pay
policy in establishments having a common job evalua­
tion system was examined. These establishments, em­
ploying three-fourths of the 400,562 production and
related workers covered by the study, divide their in-

in 1967.
13 For details o f the May 1 settlement, see Current Wage
Developments, May 1974, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Establishments have a range of rates for such workers
which includes a beginning rate which starts four job classes
below the top or standard rate; an intermediate rate which
starts two job classes below; and the top or standard rate.
Workers who receive the beginning or intermediate rate, although
they are qualified journeymen, were classified as receiving a rate
lower than the top rate.

centive jobs into three categories: Direct incentive,
indirect incentive, and secondary indirect incentive jobs.
The groups are differentiated by the extent to which a
job, alone or as part of a crew, can affect or control the
rate of output or the utilization of equipment. Straighttime pay for incentive workers is computed by applying
a percentage, usually based on a group or individual pro­
duction bonus, to the “incentive calculation rate” before
combining with an “hourly additive,” which includes
cost-of-living adjustments. In each job class, the sum of
its incentive calculation rate and hourly additive equals
the basic wage scale, as illustrated in appendix A.

departments were at least 20 percent above the basic
wage scales. On the other hand, averages for incentive
workers in jobs classified regardless of department (the
“all departments” group) ranged from 5 to 19 percent
above in about nine-tenths of the cases.
These patterns largely reflect guides in major collective
bargaining agreements of the industry that call for in­
centive plans providing opportunities to earn 35 per­
cent above the incentive calculation rate for direct
incentive jobs; 23 percent above for indirect incentive
jobs; and 12 percent above for secondary indirect
incentive jobs. For example, first helpers at electric
furnaces and operators of basic oxygen furnaces— both
direct incentive jobs— had average incentive payments
of 35 and 34 percent, respectively, above their incentive
calculation rates at the time of the survey. (See last
column of text table 2.) Included among indirect incen­
tive jobs are hookers and millwrights (a maintenance craft
assigned to specific production departments); they had
incentive payments averaging 24 and 29 percent above

Incentive workers classified in the survey by specific
department were, for the most part, considered to be on
direct or indirect incentives; they usually averaged sub­
stantially more above their basic wage scales than those
classified regardless of department, such as maintenance
workers and general laborers, who were commonly on
secondary indirect incentives. As shown in text table 1,

their incentive calculation rate. Electrician-wirers, an
example of the secondary indirect incentive jobs which
include maintenance crafts working in central shops, had
incentives averaging 15 percent above their incentive
calculation rates. The survey, however, also reflects union
contract references indicating that incentive earnings
vary widely, with some well below and some far above
the earnings opportunity guides.
Earnings of individual workers were distributed widely
within the same occupation and job class as a result of
differences in incentive earnings. In a large number of




instances, the highest hourly earnings exceeded the
lowest in the same occupation and job class by $1 or
more. Consequently, a number of workers in com­
paratively low job classes earned more than some work­
ers in higher job classes. The following tabulation from
establishments using the common job evaluation system
illustrates the overlap in earnings between coil feeders
(job class 5) in continuous hot-strip mills and soakingpit crane operators (job class 15) in bloom, slab, and
billet mills, despite a $1.02 difference in hourly averages
for the two jobs.

Establishment practices and supplementary
wage benefits

Data also were obtained on certain establishment
practices including shift provisions for production work­
ers; work schedules, paid holidays, paid vacations, health,
insurance and retirement plans, and other benefits for
plant and office workers*
Scheduled weekly hours and overtime pay provisions.
Work schedules of 40 hours a week were in effect in
establishments employing nearly all of the plant and
office workers in September 1972. Virtually all estab­
lishments visited provided daily and weekly overtime to
production workers. Major union contracts call for
overtime pay at the rate of one and one-half times the
regular rate of pay for: (1) hours worked in excess of 8
in a workday; (2) hours worked in excess of 40 in a
payroll week; (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 any 7consecutive-day period during which the first 5 days were
worked, whether or not the period consists of 1 payroll
week or parts of 2 payroll weeks. In September 1972,
workers under such contracts were paid a premium of
25 percent based on their regular rate of pay (average
straight-time hourly earnings for incentive workers) for
all hours worked on Sunday which were not paid for
on an overtime basis.
Shift differential practices. At the time of the survey,
nearly three-tenths of the production workers were
employed on second shifts and another one-fifth of the
workers on third or other late shifts. More than ninetenths of the second-shift workers received differentials
of 10 cents an hour above day rates; virtually all workers
on third or other late shifts received differentials of 15
cents an hour. Workers employed in continuous opera­




tions departments, e.g., blast furnaces and open hearth
furnaces, frequently are assigned to rotating shifts; i.e.,
they work variously on day, evening, and night tours.

Paid holidays. Paid holidays were provided to plant and
office workers by all establishments studied. Almost all
of the plant workers and seven-tenths of the office work­
ers received 9 days annually; another one-sixth of the
office workers received 10 days. Union contracts usually
listed the following as paid holidays: New Year’s Day,
Good Friday, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas
Eve, and Christmas Day. Holidays falling on a Sunday
were observed the following Monday. For work on a
paid holiday, an employee received two and one-fourth
times his regular rate of pay.

Annual and extended paid vacations. Annual paid vaca­
tions, after qualifying periods of service, were provided
to production and office workers by all establishments.
Vacation provisions varied among establishments, but at
least nine-tenths of the production workers received 1
week’s pay after 1 year of service, 2 weeks after 3 years,
3 weeks after 10 years, and 4 weeks after 25 years. Pro­
visions for office workers were slightly more liberal— at
least four-fifths received 1 week after 6 months of service,
2 weeks after 1 year, 3 weeks after 10 years, and 4 weeks
after 25 years.
Vacation bonuses— lump-sum payments in addition to
to vacation pay— applied to nearly nine-tenths of the
plant workers and to more than three-fourths, of the
office workers. These bonuses, which ranged from $30 to
$50 at the time of the survey, were granted to all covered
workers. The top of the range is paid when vacations are
scheduled during unfavorable seasons.
Extended vacations were available to production
workers in establishments employing more than ninetenths of the work force. With relatively few exceptions,
extended vacations were granted under a “ Savings and
Vacation Plan.” Under such plans, employers contributed
a specified amount to a fund that provides 13 weeks’
vacation every 5 years to “ Senior Group” employees
(one-half of the employees in the work force with
longest continuous service) and 3 weeks, in addition to
regular vacation every 5 years, for “Junior Group”
employees.
Three-fourths of the office workers were employed
in establishments providing extended vacations similar
to the Savings and Vacation Plan described above.
Establishments providing other forms of extended vaca­
tions employed another one-tenth of the office workers.

Healthy insurancey and retirement plans. Life, hospitali­
zation, basic medical, and surgical insurance were pro­
vided by establishments employing all production and
nearly all office workers in the study. Virtually all plant
and slightly more than seven-eighths of the office workers
were provided protection against loss of pay due to sick­
ness and accident. For nearly all of the plant workers,
this protection was provided under sickness and accident
insurance. Four-fifths of the office workers received sick­
ness and accident insurance and a slight majority were
covered by sick leave. Accidental death and dismember­
ment applied to about two-thirds of the plant and twofifths of the office workers; and major medical covered
nine-tenths of the plant and virtually all of the office
force.

Under provisions of agreements between the Steel­
workers and major companies in the industry, life
insurance benefits for plant workers, which are based
on wage rates, ranged from $8,000 to $10,500 for
active employees and $2,100 to $2,350 for retirees.
Weekly benefits for the sickness and accident insurance
program ranged from $78 to $115. The medical insurance
plan also covers dependents and provides hospitalization
benefits and full payments, on a prevailing fee basis, of
covered physicians’ services. The major medical insurance
plan covered the employee and dependents for 80 per­
cent of medical costs not covered by the basic medical
plan, subject to a $50 deductible.




Pension plans, providing benefits in addition to those
under Federal social security, applied to nearly all plant
and office workers. Pension plans in major union con­
tracts include provisions for vesting, early retirement,
permanent disability, and partial payment to surviving
spouse. Retirement severance pay applied to about onetenth of the workers in each employment group.
Other selected benefits. Technological severance pay was
provided by establishments employing slightly more than
four-fifths of the production workers and slightly more
than two-thirds of the office workers. This benefit pro­
vides pay to employees permanently separated from work
as a result of the closing of a department or plant, or the
introduction of new equipment. Under terms of major
union contracts, workers receive between 4 and 8 weeks’
pay depending on the length of their continuous service
with the company.
Supplemental unemployment benefits were provided
by establishments employing more than nine-tenths of
the production workers and more than three-fourths of
the office workers. Major union contracts provide that
plant employees receive partial pay during weeks in which
they are laid off or work less than 32 hours.
Earnings protection plans, designed to protect the
level of earnings of workers assigned to lower-paying
jobs due to technological change, were provided in
establishments employing nearly seven-eighths of the
production workers and three-tenths of the office
workers.

Scope and M e th o d of Survey

Scope of survey

The survey covered establishments classified in the
following industries as defined in the 1967 edition of
the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared
by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget:
1. Blast furnaces (excluding merchant coke ovens),
steel works, and rolling mills—
part of industry
3312.
2. Steel wire drawing and steel nails and spikesindustry 3315.
3. Cold rolled steel sheet, strip, and bars—
industry
3316.
4. Steel pipe and tubes—
industry 3317.
Excluded from the survey were: Merchant coke ovens
(part of industry 3312), electrometallurgical products
(industry 3313); establishments producing solely for use
by a parent company not classified in the steel industry;
and separate auxiliary units such as central offices.
The establishments studied were selected from those
employing 250 workers or more at the time of reference
of the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The number of workers actually studied by the
Bureau, as well as the number estimated to be within
scope of the survey during the payroll period studied,
are shown below:
Estimated number of workers within
scope of the survey1 ................................ 517,186
Production w o rk e rs............................ 400,562
Office w orkers..................................... 44,033
Total number of workers actually
studied1 .................................................. 284,452
Method of study

Data were obtained by personal visits by the Bureau’s
field staff. The survey was conducted on a sample basis.
To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a
greater proportion of large than of small establishments
was studied. In combining the data, however, all estab­
lishments were given their appropriate weight. All




estimates are presented, therefore, as relating to all
establishments in the industry, excluding only those
below the minimum size at the time of reference of the
universe data.
Establishment definition

An establishment, for purposes of this study, is
defined as a single physical location where industrial
operations are performed. An establishment is not neces­
sarily identical with the company, which may consist of
one establishment or more. Information was not always
available on an establishment basis, however, and in a
few instances, two locations or more of the same com­
pany were considered as one establishment.
Employment

The estimates of the number of workers within scope
of the study are intended as a general guide to the size
and composition of the labor force included in the
survey, rather than a precise measure of employment.
Production workers

The term “production workers” as used in this
bulletin, includes all nonsupervisory workers engaged in
nonoffice functions and working foremen (employees
with supervisory duties but who normally spend 20 per­
cent or more of their time at tasks similar to those of
employees under their supervision). Workers engaged in
recordkeeping closely associated with production oper­
ations, e.g., plant clerks in production departments, were
included. Administrative, executive, professional, techni­
cal and office clerical personnel, and force-account con­
struction employees, who are utilized as a separate work
force on the firm’s own properties, were excluded.
Office workers

The term “office workers” includes working super­
visors and nonsupervisory workers performing clerical or
related office functions of an establishment in such ad1 Includes executive, professional, and other workers ex­
cluded from the production and office worker categories.

ministrative departments as the following: Accounting,
advertising, executive, finance, industrial relations, legal,
payroll, personnel, public relations, purchasing, sales, and
transportation. Executive and professional personnel,
salesmen, and workers engaged in recordkeeping closely
associated with production operations, e.g., plant clerks
in production departments, were excluded.

Occupations selected for study

Occupational classification was based on the standard
job titles and codes used by companies having the
common job evaluation system, as well as on uniform
job descriptions. (See appendix C.) The descriptions
served as the basis for classification in other establish­
ments. The occupations were chosen for their numerical
importance, their usefullness in collective bargaining, or
their representativeness of the entire job scale in the
industry.

Supplementary wage provisions

Supplementary benefits were treated statistically on
the basis that if formal provisions were applicable to
one-half or more of the production workers (or office
workers) in an establishment, the benefits were consid­
ered applicable to all such workers. Similarly, if fewer
than one-half of the workers were covered, the benefit
was considered nonexistent in the establishment. Be­
cause of length-of-service and other eligibility require­
ments, the proportion of workers receiving the benefits
may be smaller than estimated.
Paid holidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day
and half-day holidays provided annually.
Annual paid vacations. The summaries of annual vacation
plans are limited to formal arrangements, excluding in­
formal 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 pay­
ment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered the
equivalent of 1 week’s pay.

Wage data

Wage information 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 piece­
work or production bonus systems and cost-of-living
bonuses, were included as a part of the worker’s regular
pay but nonproduction bonus payments, such as Christ­
mas or yearend bonuses, were excluded. Workers were
considered as being on incentive if during the payroll
period scheduled, any of their work was paid on this
basis. The hourly earnings of salaried workers were ob­
tained by dividing their straight-time salary by normal
rather than actual hours.
Average (mean) hourly rates or earnings for each
occupation or other group of workers, such as produc­
tion workers, timeworkers, or incentive workers, were
calculated by weighting each rate or hourly earnings by
the number of workers receiving the rate, totaling, and
dividing by the number of individuals. The median des­
ignates position; that is, one-half of the employees
surveyed received more than this rate and one-half re­
ceived less. The middle range is defined by two rates of
pay; one-fourth of the employees earned less than the
lower of these rates and one-fourth earned more than
the higher rate.

Shift practices

Data relate to the practices in those establishments
operating extra shifts during the payroll period studied.




Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Data are pre­
sented for health, insurance, and retirement plans for
which all or a part of the cost is borne by the employer,
excluding programs required by law, such as workmen’s
compensation and social security. Among the plans
included are those underwritten by a commercial insur­
ance company, and those paid directly by the employer
from his current operating funds or from a fund set
aside for this purpose.
Death benefits are included as a form of life 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. Infor­
mation 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 contributions,1
plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes
more than is required legally or (2) provides the em­
ployees with benefits which exceed the requirements
of the law.
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.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for com­
plete or partial payment of doctors’ fees. Such plans may
1 The temporary disability insurance laws in California and
Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.

be underwritten by a commercial insurance company or
a nonprofit organization, or they may be a form of
self-insurance.

for supplementing benefits paid under State unemploy­
ment systems.

Earnings protection plans. Data relate to formal provi­
sions that provide pay designed to protect the level of
earnings for workers assigned to lower paying jobs due
to technological changes.

Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as
extended medical or catastrophe insurance, includes
plans designed to cover employees for sickness or injury
that involve an expense which goes beyond the normal
coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Retirement pensions are limited to plans which
provide, upon retirement, regular payments for the re­
mainder of the retiree’s life. Data are presented separately
for retirement severance pay (one payment or a specified
number over a period of time) made to employees upon
retirement. Establishments providing retirement sever­
ance payments and pensions to employees upon retire­
ment were considered as having both retirement pension
and retirement severance pay. Establishments having
optional plans which provide employees a choice of
either retirement severance payments or pensions were
considered as having only retirement pension benefits.

Vacation bonuses. Data relate to formal provisions
that provide employees vacation bonuses in addition
to regular vacation payments.
Technological severance pay. Data relate to formal
provisions for payments to employees permanently
separated as a result of force reduction which arises
out of the introduction of new equipment or from the
closing of a department, plant, or unit. These data do
not include retirement severance pay.
Supplemental unemployment benefits. Supplemental
unemployment benefit data relate to formal provisions

O ccupational D escriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to
assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed
under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to
establishment and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates
representing comparable job content. Because of the emphasis on interestablishment and
interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’s job descriptions may differ
significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other
purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field economists are instructed
to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; handicapped;
part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
The sources for the following descriptions of occupations selected for separate study
were those used in establishments that use the common job evaluation system. The
descriptions also were used in other establishments. The alphabetical and numerical code
in the right margin is the job code used by establishments that use the common job
evaluation system; it is not relevant in other establishments. Jobs under “ Selected Depart­
ments” were limited to the indicated departments and those under “ All Departments”
relate to occupations found throughout the plant.
