Industry W age Survey
Candy and Other Confectionery Products, September 1965
Summary
Straight-time hourly earnings of production and related workers in the
Nation's candy and other confectionery products manufacturing industry averaged
$ 1 . 8 7 in September 1965.
All but 4 percent of the 4 9 ,736 production workers
covered by the Bureau of Labor Statistics survey1 had hourly earnings within
a range of $ 1. 25 to $ 3; the middle half earned between $ 1 . 5 1 and $ 2. 14 an hour.
Women, comprising nearly three-fifths of the workers, averaged $ 1 . 6 9 an hour,
compared with $ 2 . 1 1 for men.
Regionally, averages ranged from $ 1 . 5 0 an hour in the Southeast to
$ 2 . 2 2 in the Pacific S ta tes.2 In the Middle Atlantic and Great Lakes regions,
which together accounted for 60 percent of total employment, hourly earnings
averaged $1 . 88 and $1. 95, respectively. Among the six areas studied separately, 3
the lowest average was recorded in Boston ( $1. 79) and the highest in San
Francisco—Oakland ( $2. 28)

Among the occupations studied separately, the lowest nationwide hourly
average earnings were $ 1 . 5 8 for bulk packers, hand, and $ 1 . 6 1 for dippers,
hand (virtually all women).
The highest were $ 3 . 0 5 for maintenance machinists
and $ 2 . 8 1 for maintenance mechanics (all men).
Earnings also varied by size of establishment, by labor-management
contract status, and by method of wage payment. Over nine-tenths of the workers
were in establishments providing paid holidays and paid vacations. Various types
of health, insurance, and pension benefits were also available to a majority of
the production workers.
Industry C h a ra cteristics

Employment.
Peak employment in the candy and other confectionery
products manufacturing industry usually occurs during October and November;
employment is lowest in July. The Bureau's monthly employment s e r ie s 4 shows
that production worker employment in the peak month exceeded that in the lowest
month by approximately 30 percent in 4 of the last 6 years.
Since I960, the
date of the Bureau's previous survey, 5 annual average employment has remained
relatively stable.

Establishments covered by the current survey employed 49, 736 pro­
duction workers in September 1965. The Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic regions
each accounted for approximately three-tenths of these workers. Slightly more
than one-tenth of the workers were in New England, with somewhat sm aller pro­
portions in the Southeast and Pacific regions.
No other region accounted for
more than 5 percent of the workers.
Nearly nine-tenths of the workers were in metropolitan areas; the pro­
portions were more than 95 percent in each of three regions and about 84 percent
each in the Southeast and Great Lakes regions (table 1).
The six metropolitan
areas studied separately accounted for nearly one-half of the industry’ s work
force. Chicago, the largest candy manufacturing center, employed nearly 10, 000
production workers.
Nearly three-fifths of the workers were women. Regionally, the propor­
tions ranged from one-half in the Great Lakes and Southeast to about three-fifths
in the other three regions.
Employment of men and women was nearly equal in
Chicago; in each of the other areas studied separately, women substantially
outnumbered men.

Production. While employment remained about the same, production in
the industry increased 12 percent between I960 and 1964 (the latest year for
which data are available).
This increase in production was accompanied by
a 13 percent increase in the output per man-hour of work and a 1 percent decrease
in total man-hours worked.
Boxed chocolates and other packaged goods were the principal products
in establishments employing about half of the production workers in September
1965. Approximately one-fourth of the workers were employed in plants primarily
making bar goods. Bulk goods were most important in plants with 8 percent of
the workers, salted peanuts in plants with 6 percent, and 5- and 10-cent speci­
alities in plants employing 4 percent.
The proportion of workers in plants
primarily making boxed chocolates and packaged goods was highest in New England
(73 percent) and the Pacific region (62 percent).
Bar goods were the principal
product in plants employing 3 5 percent of the w orkers in the Great Lakes,
14 percent in the Pacific, and 16 percent in New England.
The proportion for
bulk goods in each region was one-eighth or le ss.
In the Southeast, none of the
plants visited produced bulk goods as a principal product. One-fifth of the work
force in this region was employed in plants producing salted nuts, reflecting the
importance of the peanut growing industry there.
Establishment Size.
Two-thirds of the 408 establishments covered by
the survey had fewer than 100 workers.
The median employment size was 65.
Although only 55 establishments employed 250 workers or more, they accounted
for nearly three-fifths of the industry’ s work force. Regionally, such establish­
ments employed over three-fourths of the workers in New England, almost
two-thirds in the Great Lakes, three-fifths in the Middle Atlantic, nearly two-fifths
in the Southeast, and about one-sixth in the Pacific region.
Union Contract Coverage.
Establishments with collective bargaining
agreements covering a majority of their production workers employed half the
industry's work force.
Plants with such contract coverage employed slightly
more than eight-tenths of the workers in the Pacific region, seven-tenths in the
Middle Atlantic, four-tenths in the Great Lakes, less than two-tenths in New
England, and slightly more than one-tenth in the Southeast.
As the following
tabulation illustrates, c o n t r a c t coverage was greater in the two larger
establishm ent-size groups than in plants with 20—99 workers:

Method of Wage Payment. Three-fourths of the production workers were
paid on the basis of time rates (table 13). Such rates were usually determined
by formalized wage systems in the Middle Atlantic, Great Lakes, and Pacific
regions, whereas time rates in the New England and Southeast regions were
usually determined on an individual basis.
Incentive wage systems applied to slightly more than one-third of the
workers in the Great Lakes region, nearly three-tenths of the workers in the
New England and Southeast regions, and to one-fourth of the workers in the
Middle Atlantic region.
Few workers in the Pacific region were paid under
incentive wage system s.
Among the areas studied separately, the proportion
of workers paid under incentive systems were:
One-half in Chicago, about
three-eighths in New York and Philadelphia, nearly one-fourth in Boston, and
virtually none in Los Angeles—Long Beach and San Francisco—Oakland. Regionally,
the proportion of workers paid under incentive wage systems was typically
larger in establishments with 250 workers or more than in sm aller establish­
ments.
Occupations studied separately in which substantial numbers of workers
were paid incentive rates included wrapping-machine operators, and bulk and
fancy packers.
Average Hourly Earnings
Straight-time earnings of production and related workers averaged $ 1.87
an hour in September 1965. 6 This was 19 percent above the average in November—
December I960, when the Bureau conducted a similar survey. 7 Earnings in the
^ The straight-tim e 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 ( $ 2 .0 6 in Septem ber 1965).
Unlike the latter,
the estimates presented here exclude prem ium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
Average earnings were calculated by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing by the number of individuals;
in the monthly series, the sum of the m an-hour totals reported by establishments in the industry was divided into the
reported payroll totals.
The estim ate of the number of production workers within scope of the study is intended only as a general guide
to the size and com position of the labor force included in the survey.
They differ from the number published in
the monthly series ( 5 5 .4 thousand in September 1965) by the exclusion of establishments em ploying fewer than
20 workers and because the advance planning necessary to make the survey requires the use of lists o f establishments
assembled considerably in advance o f data collection.

Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic regions, where the industry is most heavily
concentrated, averaged $ 1. 95 and $ 1. 88 an hour, respectively. Earnings averaged
$ 2. 22 in the Pacific region, $ 1. 79 in New England, and $ 1. 50 in the Southeast.
Earnings for men averaged $ 2 . 1 1 an hour, compared with $ 1 . 6 9 for
women. The average wage advantage for men was 51 cents an hour in the Great
Lakes region, about 45 cents in three regions, and 12 cents in the Southeast.
Differences in average pay levels for men and women may be the result of
several factors, including variation in the distribution of the sexes among estab­
lishments and among jobs with disparate pay levels.
Differences in averages in
the same job and area may reflect minor differences in duties.
Job descriptions
used in classifying workers in wage surveys are usually more generalized than
those used in individual establishments because allowance must be made for minor
differences among establishments in specific duties performed.
Also, earnings
in some jobs in the industry are largely determined by production under incentive
payment plans. Variations in incentive earnings for individuals or sex groupings
may be traceable to differences in work experience, effort, workflow, or other
factors which the worker may or may not control.
Earnings of all but 4 percent of the workers were within a range of $ 1. 25
to $ 3 an hour (table 2).
The middle half of the workers had earnings ranging
from $ 1 . 5 1 to $ 2 . 1 4 .
Nearly 8 percent of the workers earned less than $ 1 . 3 0
an hour, 16 percent earned less than $ 1 . 4 0 , and 23 percent earned less than
$ 1. 50. As shown in the following tabulation, the proportions of workers in these
categories varied substantially among the regions:

Earnings of production workers averaged $ 1. 95 an hour in establishments
employing 250 workers or more, $ 1. 85 in establishments with 100 to 249 workers,
and $ 1 . 6 6 in plants with 20 to 99 workers. In the Great Lakes region, average
hourly earnings of workers in these three establishm ent-size groups were $ 2 . 0 9 ,
$ 1 . 8 6 , and $ 1 . 5 6 ; and in the Middle Atlantic region, $ 2 , $ 1 . 7 7 , and $ 1 . 6 4 ,
re spective'ly.

Nationwide, workers in metropolitan areas averaged 21 cents an hour
more than those in nonmetropolitan areas ( $ 1 . 8 9 compared with $ 1 . 6 8 ) .
In the
Great Lakes, the only region where this comparison was possible, the relationship
was similar ( $ 1 . 9 9 and $ 1 . 7 8 ) .
Production workers in establishments with union contracts averaged
$1.93 an hour, compared with $1.80 in those without such contracts. In the Pacific
region, workers in union establishments averaged 25 cents an hour more than
those in nonunion establishments; however, in the Middle Atlantic and Great Lakes
regions, averages were about the same for the two groups of establishments.




5

Occupational Earnings
The occupational classifications for w h i c h data are presented in
table 3 accounted for about three-fifths of the production and related workers
within scope of the survey.
Maintenance machinists had the highest average
earnings, $ 3. 05 an hour.
They were followed by maintenance mechanics at
$ 2 . 8 1 , class A candymakers at $ 2. 55, general utility maintenance men at $ 2. 48,
enrobing-machine operators at $ 2 . 2 8 , and mogul machine operators at $ 2 . 2 7 .
Fancy hand packers, numerically the most important job surveyed
separately, averaged $ 1 . 6 7 an hour. Other numerically important jobs included
bulk packers (hand), and wrapping-machine operators, who averaged $ 1. 58 and
$ 1 . 8 5 , respectively. Candymakers1 helpers averaged $ 1 . 8 9 an hour. The large
majority of candymakers1 helpers were men, while the other three jobs were
held principally by women.
Average hourly earnings of women enrobing-machine operators’ helpers
exceeded those of women operators by 13 cents nationally, and by 8 cents in the
Great Lakes region. In the Southeast, the only other region where comparison
was possible, the more likely relationship existed— operators averaged more than
helpers.
The unexpected relationships in the national and Great Lakes averages
resulted from varying proportions of women in these job classifications in estab­
lishments of different pay levels.
Thus, some high-wage establishments may
report large numbers of women employed as helpers and none as operators, the
latter job being filled by men.
In the Great Lakes, for example, in every
establishment reporting both women operators and helpers, the operators aver­
aged more than the helpers.
In the 15 jobs where comparison for all regions was possible, average
hourly earnings were highest in the Pacific and lowest in the Southeast; differ­
ences ranged from 40 to nearly 80 percent above the averages in the latter region.
Data on occupational earnings were also developed by establishment size
and by labor-management contract coverage (tables 4 and 5).
In both major
regions, averages were generally higher in the largest establishm ent-size group
than in the smaller size groups. Occupational averages were generally higher in
union establishments than in nonunion establishments in the Middle Atlantic
region; but in the Great Lakes, this relationship was reversed.
Incentive-paid workers typically averaged higher hourly earnings than
their tim e-rated counterparts (table 6).
For example, in the Middle Atlantic
region, women fancy packers, hand, who were paid on an incentive basis,
averaged $ 1 . 8 1 , compared with $ 1 . 5 4 for tim e-rated workers.
In the Great
Lakes region, the corresponding hourly averages were $ 1 . 9 0 and $ 1 . 4 5 .
In
Chicago, men candymakers’ helpers, who were paid on incentive, averaged
$ 2 .6 5 — 87 cents an hour more than those paid time rates (table 8),
For women
wrapping-machine operators in New York, the average wage advantage for
incentive workers over those paid time rates amounted to 25 cents— $ 1 .8 9 com ­
pared with $ 1 . 6 4 (table 10).
Earnings of individual workers varied considerably within the same job
and general geographic location.
In some instances, hourly earnings of the
highest paid workers exceeded those of the lowest paid in the same job and area
by $ 1 or more (tables 7—12). Thus, when two jobs with disparate pay levels are
compared, some workers in the lower paid jobs may earn as much as some
workers in the higher paid jobs. For example, the following tabulation indicates
a considerable overlapping of individual rates for incentive-paid men candy­
m akers’ helpers and women wrapping-machine operators in Chicago, despite
a 43-cent difference in the hourly average between the two jobs.

The range of earnings for workers within the same job varied widely
by establishment.
To illustrate, differences between the highest and lowest paid
candymakers1 helpers in individual establishments in Chicago ranged from less
than 10 cents an hour to about $ 1 . 2 0 an hour; the highest paid exceeded the
lowest paid by 20 percent or less in a majority of the plants employing two
workers or more in this classification.
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Data were also obtained on work schedules, shift differentials, and
supplementary benefits, including paid holidays and vacations, pension plans, life
insurance, sickness and accident insurance, hospitalization, surgical, and medical
benefits for production workers.
Scheduled Weekly Hours and Shift P ractices. A work schedule of 40 hours
a week was in effect in establishments employing four-fifths of all production
workers and more than nine-tenths of the workers in all but the Great Lakes
region, where schedules of 48 hours or more (principally Chicago) applied to
two-fifths of the workers (table 14).
Nearly a fifth of the production workers
were employed on second shifts at the time of the study (table 16).
Most of the
workers were paid shift differentials, the single most common amount was 5 cents
an hour above first-sh ift rates. Third-shift operations accounted for almost 3 per­
cent of the workers.
Paid Holidays.
Nearly all workers were provided paid holidays.
The
most common provisions were 6 or 7 days annually, with additional half days in
some instances (table 17).
Holiday provisions varied considerably among the
regions.
For example, a third of the workers in the Middle Atlantic received
11 paid holidays; whereas, the maximum number provided in the Southeast was 6.
Boston and New York were the only areas studied separately in which provisions
for as many as 11 days were recorded.
Paid Vacations. Virtually all production workers were eligible for paid
vacations after qualifying periods of service.
Most of the production workers
were employed in establishments providing 1 week of vacation pay after 1 year
of service, 2 weeks after 3 years, and 3 weeks after 15 years; slightly more than
a third were eligible for 4 weeks after 25 years (table 18). Regional differences
in provisions were less pronounced after 1 year than after longer periods of
service. The proportions of production workers employed in establishments pro­
viding 1 week after 1 year ranged from 7 5 percent in the Southeast to 97 percent
in the Pacific region. After 15 years of service, 22 percent of the workers in
the Southeast were eligible for 3 weeks, compared with 89 percent in the Pacific
region.




7

Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans. Life, hospitalization and surgical
insurance were available to approximately seven-eighths of the workers (table 19).
Sickness and accident insurance applied to three-fifths; medical insurance, to
seven-tenths; and accidental death and dismemberment insurance, to slightly
more than half of the workers.
These benefits relate to plans financed at least
in part by the employer.
Typically, employers paid the total costs, with this
practice varying by region.
For example, in New England 95 percent of the
workers were in establishments providing life insurance but only 26 percent were
covered under plans wholly financed by the employer.
In the Middle Atlantic
region, however, 83 percent were covered by employer financed plans and
only 3 percent by jointly financed plans.
Retirement pension plans (other than Federal social security benefits)
were provided by establishments employing three-fifths of the workers. Region­
ally, the proportions ranged from 45 percent in the Great Lakes to 87 percent
in the Pacific. In each region, most of these workers were covered by employer
financed plans.
Nonproduction Bonuses.
Form al provisions for nonproduction bonuses,
usually Christmas or yearend, were in effect in plants accounting for one-fourth
of the workers nationally, two-fifths in the Great Lakes region, a third in New
England, and a fifth or less in the remaining regions (table 20).

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of Survey
The survey included establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing candy and
other confectionery products (industry 2071 as defined in the 1957 edition and 1963 Supplement
of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual). Establishments primarily manufacturing
solid chocolate bars (SIC 2072), those primarily manufacturing chewing gum (SIC 2073), those
making confectionery primarily for direct sale on the premises and those primarily engaged
in shelling and roasting nuts (which are classified in trade industries) were excluded. Also
excluded from the study were separate auxiliary units such as central offices.
The establishments studied were selected from those employing 20 workers or more
at the time of reference of the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The number of establishments and workers actually studied by the Bureau, as well
as the number estimated to be in the industry during the payroll period studied, are shown
in the table below.

1 The regions used in this study include:
New England— Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
and Vermont; Middle Atlantic— New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania; Southeast— Alabam a, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee; Great Lakes— Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin; and Pacific—
California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.
Regional data include areas in addition to those shown separately.
2 For definition of the respective areas, see footnote 1, tables 7— 12.
3 Includes only establishments with 20 workers or more at the time of reference of the universe data.
4 Includes executive, professional, office, and other workers excluded from the production worker category shown separately.
5 Includes data for regions in addition to those shown separately.
Alaska and Hawaii were not included in the study.

Method of Study
Data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists under the direction
of the Bureau's Assistant Regional Directors for Wages and Industrial Relations. 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 establishments 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.




29

30
Establishment Definition
An establishment, for purposes of this study, is defined as a single physical lo­
cation where industrial operations are performed. An establishment is not necessarily
identical with the company, which may consist of one establishment or more. The terms
"establishment" and "plant" have been used interchangeably in this bulletin.
Employment
The estimates of the number of workers within the scope of the study are intended
as a general guide to the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey.
The advance planning necessary to make a wage survey requires the use of lists of establish­
ments assembled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied.
Production Workers
The term "production workers" as used in this bulletin, includes working foremen
and all nonsupervisory workers engaged in nonoffice functions. 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, were excluded.
Occupations Selected for Study
Occupational classification was based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed
to take account of interestablishment and interarea variations in duties within the same job.
(See appendix B for these job descriptions.) The occupations were chosen for their numerical
importance, their usefulness in collective bargaining, or their representativeness of the
entire job scale in the industry. Working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners,
trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers were not reported
in the data for selected occupations, but were included in the data for all production workers.
Wage Data
The 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 piecework or production bonus systems and costof-living bonuses were included as part of the workers* regular pay; but nonproduction bonus
payments, such as Christmas or year end bonuses, were excluded.
Average (mean) hourly rates or earnings for each occupation or other group of
workers, such as men, women, or production 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 hourly earnings of salaried workers were obtained by
dividing their straight-time salary by normal rather than actual hours. The median desig­
nates position, that is, half of the employees surveyed received more than this rate, and
half received less. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay; a fourth of the em­
ployees earned less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earned more than the
higher rate.
Size of Community
Tabulations by size of community pertain to metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas.
The term "metropolitan area," as used in this bulletin, refers to the Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Areas as defined by the U.S. Bureau of the Budget through March 1965.
Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area is defined as a
county or group of contiguous counties which contains at least one city of 50, 000 inhabitants
or more. Contiguous counties to the one containing such a city are included in a Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area, if, according to certain criteria, they are essentially metro­
politan in character and are socially and economically integrated with the central city. In
New England, where the city and town are administratively more important than the county,
they are the units used in defining Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas.




31
Labor-Management Agreements
Separate wage data are presented, where possible, for establishments with (l) a
majority of the production workers covered by labor-management contracts, and (Z) none
or a minority of the production workers covered by labor-management contracts.
Method of Wage Payment
Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to the number of workers paid under
the various time and incentive wage systems. Formal rate structures for time-rated workers
provide single rates or a range of rates for individual job categories. In the absence of a
formal rate structure, pay rates are determined primarily with reference to the qualifications
of the individual worker. A single rate structure is one in which the same rate is paid to
all experienced workers in the same job classification. Learners, apprentices, or proba­
tionary workers may be paid according to rate schedules which start below the single rate
and permit the workers to achieve the full job rate over a period of time. Individual
experienced workers may occasionally be paid above or below the single rate for special
reasons, but such payments are regarded as exceptions. Range-of-rate plans are those in
which the minimum and/or maximum rates paid experienced workers for the same job are
specified. Specific rates of individual workers within the range may be determined by merit,
length of service or a combination of various concepts of merit and length of service. In­
centive workers are classified under piecework or bonus plans. Piecework is work for which
a predetermined rate is paid for each unit of output. Production bonuses are based on pro­
duction in excess of a quota or for completion of a job in less than standard time.
Scheduled Weekly Hours
Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work schedule for full-time production
workers employed on the day shift.
Shift Provisions and Practices
Shift provisions relate to the policies of establishments either currently operating
late shifts or having formal provisions covering late-shift work. Practices relate to workers
employed on late shifts at the time of the survey.
Supplementary Wage Provisions
Supplementary benefits were treated statistically on the basis that if formal pro­
visions were applicable to half or more of the production workers in an establishment, the
benefits were considered applicable to all such workers. Similarly, if fewer than half of the
workers were covered, the benefit was considered nonexistent in the establishment. Because
of length-of-service and other eligibility requirements, the proportion of workers receiving
the benefits may be smaller than estimated. Because of rounding, the sums of individual
items may not equal totals.
Paid Holidays.
provided annually.

Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day and half-day holidays

Paid Vacations. The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal arrangements,
excluding informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the em­
ployer or the supervisor. Payments not on a time basis were converted; for example, a
payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered the equivalent of 1 week's pay. The
periods of service for which data are presented were selected as representative of the most
common practices, but they do not necessarily reflect individual establishment provisions for
progression. For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 10 years of service may
include changes which occurred between 5 and 10 years.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans. Data are presented for health, insurance,
and pension 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 insurance company and those paid
directly by the employer from his current operating funds or from a fund set aside for
this purpose.




32
Death benefits are included as a form of life insurance. Sickness and accident
insurance is limited to that type of insurance under which predetermined cash payments are
made directly to the insured on a weekly or monthly basis during illness or accident dis­
ability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes at
least a part of the cost. However, in New York and New Jersey, where temporary dis­
ability insurance laws require employer contributions, 8 plans are included only if the em­
ployer (1) contributes more than is legally required or (2) provides the employees with
benefits which exceed the requirements of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to formal plans which provide full
pay or a proportion of the worker's pay during absence from work because of illness; in­
formal arrangements have been omitted. Separate tabulations are provided according to (1)
plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans providing either partial
pay or a waiting period.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial payment of
doctors' fees. Such plans may be underwritten by a commercial insurance company or a
nonprofit organization, or they may be self-insured.
Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as extended medical insurance, in­
cludes the plans designed to cover employees in case of sickness or injury involving an ex­
pense which goes beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide, on retire­
ment, regular payments for the remainder of the worker's life.
Nonproduction Bonuses. Nonproduction bonuses are defined for this study as bonuses
that depend on factors other than the output of the individual worker or group of workers.
Plans that defer payments beyond 1 year were excluded.
8

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




Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions
for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff
in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are
employed under a variety of payroll titles and different
work arrangements from establishment to establishment
and from area to area.
This permits the grouping of oc­
cupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
Because of this emphasis on inter establishment and inter area 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 super­
visors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handi­
capped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
