Straight-time hourly rates of pay for nonmessenger employees of Western Union's wire-telegraph operations averaged $ 2 .5 2 in October 1961, an increase of 8 cents above the average recorded a year earlier. October 1961 averages for employees of radiotelegraph and ocean-cable carriers (such employees accounted together for less than 1 percent of the covered em ployment) were $ 2 .9 7 and $ 2 .7 9 an hour, respectively. The study, based on reports of carriers under the full jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission, covered nearly nine-tenths of the esti mated 685, 500 employees in the Nation's telephone communication industry in December 1961 and over nine-tenths of the estimated 36,700 employees in the telegraph communication industry in October 1961. 3 Employment by class A telephone carriers covered in the study declined by about 3 percent between October I960 and December 1961 and was 12 percent below October 1957, the highest employment level recorded for the periods studied. Among the other carrier groups, employment levels over the past year dropped by about 4 percent for Western Union's wire-telegraph operations, but increased slightly for radiotelegraph and ocean-cable carriers. 1 Prior to 1961, information on employee earnings for all carriers included in the annual reports relates to an October payroll period. Effective 1961, the reference date for class A telephone carriers was changed to December. See appendix for scope and method of survey. 2 As explained in the appendix, the earnings data contained in this bulletin, which pertain to all workers except officials and managerial assistants, were computed by dividing scheduled weekly compensation by scheduled weekly hours. "Scheduled weekly compensation" for class A telephone carriers, as defined by FCC, includes the "basic weekly pay rate plus any regularly scheduled supplemen tary compensation, such as differentials for evening and night tours, . . . It ex cludes pay for overtime work and pay in excess of weekday rates for Sunday and holiday work. " The Western Union Telegraph Co. has indicated that scheduled weekly compensation reported for their employees excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. 3 Source: BLS employment estimates for telephone and telegraph commu nication. (See Monthly Labor Review, July 1962, p. 821. ) 1 3 Class A Telephone Carriers Earnings in December 1961. Earnings of the 599,108 employees (ex cluding officials and managerial assistants) of the 54 class A telephone carriers covered by the study4 averaged $ 2 .6 7 an hour in December 1961 (table 1)— an increase of 4. 7 percent above the level of earnings recorded in October I960 ($2. 55). 5 Based on regular scheduled compensation which includes the basic pay rates plus any regularly scheduled supplementary compensation such as differ entials for evening and nightwork, individual earnings of these workers were widely dispersed. The middle half of the workers earned between $ 1. 87 and $ 3. 17 an hour. Wage rates and working conditions of class A telephone carrier em ployees are largely determined through the collective bargaining process. A c cording to agreements on file with the Bureau of Labor S tatistics,6 wage-rate schedules generally varied by occupational category, region, among companies in the same region, and, for a given occupation and company, by locality. Agreements typically provide a range of rates for a specific job and locality with rate differences between starting and maximum rates frequently amounting to 100 percent or more. Advancement from starting to maximum rates quite commonly involved from 10 to 14 step increases over a 5- to 6-year period. Reflecting largely locality rate differentials and length-of-service wage increases, difference between the highest and lowest rates recorded for linemen, for example, amounted to more than $ 1 an hour in 39 of the 54 class A telephone carriers included in the study. Reflecting the great diversity of skills and responsibilities required by the industry, earnings levels among occupational groups studied separately varied considerably. Average hourly earnings in December 1961 ranged from $ 1 .5 6 for trainee telephone operators to $ 4 .9 3 for professional and semiprofessional em ployees. Women, constituting nearly three-fifths of the class A telephone carrier work force, were largely employed in telephone operator and clerical jobs. Experienced switchboard operators, virtually all women and accounting for about 22 percent of total employment, averaged $ 1.90 an hour. Operators in training averaged $ 1 .5 6 . Nonsupervisory clerical employees (1 11,724 women and 8,396 men) averaged $ 2 .0 5 an hour. Construction, installation, and maintenance employees, nearly all men, accounted for nearly three-tenths of the class A telephone carrier employees. Average hourly earnings for numerically important jobs in these departments 4 The study was limited to telephone carriers having an annual operating revenue of more than $ 250,000 and subject to the full jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission. Officials and managerial assistants were not in cluded in the study, and their earnings are not included in the averages presented in this report. (See appendix. ) Also see appendix regarding inclusion of em ployees outside the conterminous 48 States and the District of Columbia. 5 Wage adjustments for telephone carrier employees, effective between October I960 and December 1961, are presented in the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly series of current wage developments. (See Current Wage Developments, Nos. 155 through 170.) 6 Collective bargaining agreements covering roughly three-fourths of the workers included in the study are on file with the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The major labor organization in the industry is the Communications Workers of America (AFL—CIO). Frequently, workers in different departments (e. g. , traffic, plant, accounting, commercial) of the same company are covered under separate collective bargaining agreements. 4 were: $ 3. 13 for exchange repairmen; $ 3. 05 for test-board men and repeatermen, cable splicers, and PBX and station installers; $ 2 .9 6 for central office repairmen; and $ 2 . 69 for linemen. These jobs together accounted for nearly 120,000 workers. Compared with the national average of $ 2 . 67 for all telephone employees, except officials and managerial assistants, overall averages ranged from $ 2 .3 5 in the Southeast region to $ 2 .8 1 in the Pacific and $ 2 .8 3 in the Middle Atlantic region (table 4). Among the other regions, averages for all employees were above the national average in New England and the Great Lakes and below the national average in the four remaining regions. Average hourly earnings for selected occupational groups shown in table 4 were not consistently highest or lowest in any one region. Employees of Bell System companies, accounting for 96 percent of the class A telephone carrier employees covered by the study, averaged $ 2 .7 0 an hour— 63 cents above the average recorded for non-Bell System employees (tables 2 and 3). Part of this difference in all-worker averages can be attributed to differences in the occupational composition of the two telephone carrier groups. To illustrate, a larger proportion of Bell carrier employees were in clerical, sales, and professional occupations; whereas, experienced switchboard operators accounted for slightly more than a fourth of non-Bell carrier employment and about a fifth of Bell System employees. Other factors (e .g . , size of firm and size of community) also probably contributed to differences in wage levels between the two carrier groups. Thus, for the 24 Bell System companies, usually covering an entire State or group of States, employment amounted to more than 50,000 in 4 companies, over 25,000 in 5 other companies, and less than 3,000 in only 2 companies. Only 1 of the 30 non-Bell companies employed as many as 3,000 workers. Eleven companies had fewer than 100 workers. Average hourly earnings for each of the occupational groups studied separately were substantially higher for Bell than for non-Bell Systems. It should be noted, however, that the average scheduled workweek was longer by nearly 2 hours in non-Bell companies. The tabulation below indicates the r e lationship of average hourly earnings for each of the two carrier groups as a percentage of the average for all carriers. As would be expected, averages for all carriers largely reflect earnings levels for the Bell System.

Total employment of class A tele phone carriers declined about 3 percent between October I960 and December 1961. Although the December 1961 employment level (599, 100) was about 8 percent above the October 1947 level (552,700), it was 12 percent below the October 1957 peak of 681,60 0. The employment decrease since October 1957 has largely been the result of the substantial decline in the number of telephone operators, caused mainly by installation of new and improved equipment. The total number of 5 telephone operators (including chief operators and trainees, as well as regular operators) declined from 235,700 in 1957 to 174,000 in 1961. Decline in the number of telephone operators employed by Bell System carriers accounted for most of the employment decrease for class A telephone carriers between October I960 and December 1961. The relative importance, in terms of employment, of major occupational groups has changed substantially since October 1947. As the table below indicates, telephone operators outnumbered construction, installation, and maintenance employees by 2 to 1 in 1947; in 1961, employment in the two groups was nearly equal. Coinciding with this change has been an increase in the proportion of men employees in the industry. Men accounted for about a third of total employ ment in October 1947 compared with approximately two-fifths in December 1961.

Thus, an estimated 28 cents of the $ 1 .4 1 increase in average hourly earnings for all employees, except officials and managerial assistants, between October 1947 and December 1961 resulted from changes in the occupational makeup of the industry. 7 Average hourly earnings for all class A telephone carrier employees increased by 112 percent8 between October 1947 and December 1961— from $ 1 .2 6 to $ 2 .6 7 .

Women accounted for a large proportion of the clerical employees and the telegraph operators. Average straight-time hourly rates of pay for selected occupational classifications are shown in table 5. Wage provisions contained in agreements with either The Commercial Telegraphers' Union (AFL—CIO) or the American Communications Association (ind.) 9 Regional earnings were tabulated for the first time in October 1951. 10 Excludes officials and managerial assistants. 11 Much of this increase was the result of deferred wage increases included in the terms of contracts negotiated with The Commercial Telegraphers' Union (AFLr-CIO) and the American Communications Association (Ind .), in I960. Effective January 1, 1961, all hourly-rated employees, except nonmotor m essengers, r e ceived an increase of 5 cents an hour, and monthly-rated employees received an increase of $ 8 a month. Contracts with CTU apply in all cities, except the New York City metropolitan area, and covered approximately 23,000 employees; approximately 4, 300 employees were in the New York City metropolitan area where contractual agreements were with ACA. include established rate ranges for specific occupations, with differences between the starting and maximum rates amounting to as much as 50 cents an hour for some classifications. 12 The survey showed that for many of the occupational categories studied, the hourly rates of the highest paid employees exceeded those of the lowest paid by more than $ 1 an hour. In some jobs, however, individual rates were closely grouped; for example, the hourly rates of three-fourths or more of the route aides, experienced telegraph operators (except Morse operators) in the traffic department, Morse operators, and telephone operators were within ZO-cent-an-hour ranges. The 4,9Z2 m essengers, nearly all males and constituting about a sixth of the total Western Union wire-telegraph work force, included 3,367 full-tim e and 1,555 part-tim e employees. Average straight-time hourly rates of pay for these two groups were $ 1 .4 6 and $ 1 . 19, respectively. In October 1961, foot and bicycle messengers averaged $ 1 . 18 an hour, 6 cents above the average for October I960. 13 Virtually all these employees received rates of pay between $ 1. 15 and $ 1. 30 an hour. Motor messengers averaged $ 1. 89 an hour, 7 cents above the average a year earlier. Total employment of Western Union’ s wire-telegraph operations in October 1961 was nearly 4 percent below October I960 and 41 percent below the employment level of October 1947 (the date of the Bureau’ s initial study). The following tabulation indicates the considerable change which has taken place in the occupational composition of the work force since 1947. Occupational group Telegraph operators------------------------Messengers, foot and b ic y c le ------------Messengers, m o to r ----------------------------Clerical employees, nonsupervisory -------------------------------- -— Construction, installation, and maintenance employees ----------------Other --------------------------------------------- A ll employees, except officials and managerial assistants (thousands) — - October 1947 Percent of total employment in— October October October October 1952 1957 1960 1961 34 18 3 32 19 3 30 14 4 28 12 4 27 11 5 16 16 18 18 18 13 16 13 17 16 18 18 20 19 20 53. 1 39. 5 36. 2 32.3 31. 1 Thus, the proportion of employees classified as telegraph operators declined from 34 percent in 1947 to 27 percent in 1961; sim ilarly, the portion of the work force accounted for by foot and bicycle messengers declined from 18 to 11 percent. On the other hand, the proportion of employees in construction, installation, and maintenance increased from 13 to 19 percent. Changes in the occupational composition of the nonmessenger work force account for approximately 15 cents14 of the $ 1 .4 7 increase in average hourly rates of pay between 1947 and 1961. 12 Advancement from the starting rate through the various progression steps to the maximum rate is automatic for employees meeting the requirements of the job after specified periods of service. For additional information on the company's wage structure, see Industry Wage Survey: Communications, October I960 (BUS Bulletin 1306, 1961, p^ 13 Effective September 3, 1961, the Federal minimum wage was raised from $ 1 to $ 1 . 1 5 an hour. 14 Weighting current occupational averages by occupational employment for October 1947 results in an average of $ 2 . 3 7 instead of $ 2 . 5 2 for nonmessenger employees. 8 Radiotelegraph Carriers Earnings of the 3, 986 em ployees15 of the five companies engaged in trans mitting nonvocal radio communications averaged $ 2 . 9 7 an hour in October 1961 (table 6)— an increase of 4. 6 percent above the level of earnings recorded a year earlier ( $2. 84) . More than four-fifths of the radiotelegraph employees covered by the study were men, and in nearly all of the occupational groups studied separately, they were the majority. Average hourly earnings for all numerically important occupational categories studied separately were $ 3 . 4 3 for radio operating technicians, $ 3 . 38 for radio operators, $ 3 . 2 9 for mechanics and maintenance technicians, $ 3 . 2 0 for marine coastal station operators, $ 2 . 6 8 for teletype-multiplex operators, $ 2 . 5 4 for nonsupervisory clerical employees, and $ 1 . 2 5 for foot and bicycle m essengers. Since October I960, increases in average hourly earnings for these occupational groups, except foot and bicycle m essengers, ranged from 10 to 20 cents an hour. The average for foot and bicycle messengers rose by 4 cents an hour since October I960. In part, reflecting a wide diversity of occupational duties and responsi bilities, earnings of radiotelegraph employees were widely dispersed— the middle half of the workers earned between $ 2. 25 and $ 3. 50 an hour. However, individual earnings for some of the occupational groups were concentrated within com par atively narrow lim its. Thus, slightly more than half of the radio operators earned between $ 3. 30 and $ 3. 50 an hour and over four-fifths of the foot and bicycle messengers earned between $ 1. 15 and $ 1. 30. Average hourly earnings of radiotelegraph employees rose 111 percent between October 1947 and October 1961— from $1.41 to $2.97. Since October 1947, percentage increases in average earnings varied among the occupational groups studied separately. Thus, average hourly earnings for marine coastal station operators rose by 80 percent since October 1947, compared with an increase of 109 percent for teletype-multiplex operators. Employment of radiotelegraph carriers in October 1961 was 21 percent below the October 1947 employment level but slightly higher (about 1 percent) than in October I960. Ocean-Cable Carriers The 1, 406 em ployees16 of the three ocean-cable carriers covered by the study averaged $ 2 . 7 9 an hour in October 1961 (table 7)— 4. 1 percent above the level of earnings recorded in October I960 ($2. 68). Men, accounting for a large majority of the employees in nearly all job groups studied separately, comprised over four-fifths of the ocean-cable carrier employment in October 1961. Among the numerically important occupational groups studied separately, average hourly earnings were $ 3. 43 for mechanics in construction, installation, maintenance, and other technical work; $ 3 . 2 0 for cable operators; $ 2 . 5 5 for nonsupervisory clerical employees; $ 2 . 4 9 for teletype-multiplex operators; and 15 The study covered only radiotelegraph carriers with annual operating revenues in excess of $ 50, 000. Excludes officials and managerial assistants and 1,255 employees working outside the conterminous 48 States and the District of Columbia. 16 The study covered only ocean-cable carriers with annual operating revenues exceeding $ 50, 000; also includes ocean-cable employees of Western Union Telegraph Co. Excludes officials and managerial assistants and 4, 003 em ployees working outside the conterminous 48 States and the District of Columbia. 9 $ 1. 28 for foot and bicycle m essengers. Since October I960, increases in average earnings for these job groups ranged from 8 to 25 cents an hour. Employees in these categories accounted for about 72 percent of the ocean-cable carrier employment in October 1961. Individual earnings of ocean-cable carrier employees (1, 195 men and 211 women) in October 1961 were widely dispersed— the middle half of the workers earned between $ 2 . 16 and $ 3. 17 an hour. For some of the job groups, however, individual earnings were concentrated within comparatively narrow lim its. Earnings of approximately three-fourths of the cable operators and half of the mechanics were within 20-cent-an-hour ranges— $ 3. 10—$ 3. 30, and $ 3. 50—$ 3. 70, respectively. About three-fourths of the foot and bicycle messengers earned between $ 1. 15 and $ 1. 30 an hour. Average hourly earnings of ocean-cable carrier employees rose by 86 percent between October 1947 and October 1961— from $ 1. 50 to $2 . 79. Since October 1947, relative increases in average hourly earnings varied among the occupational categories studied separately. For example, average hourly earnings for cable operators rose by 72 percent since October 1947, compared with an increase of 100 percent for telephone operators. Ocean-cable carrier employment in October 1961 had decreased by about 5 percent since October 1947, but was 3 percent above the level recorded in October I960. T a ble 1.

All carriers engaged in interstate or foreign communications service by means of their own facilities or through connection with the facilities of another carrier under direct or indirect common control are subject to the full jurisdiction of the Commission. A large number of telephone carriers engaged in interstate or foreign service only by con nection with the facilities of another unaffiliated carrier are not subject to the full jurisdiction of the Commission and are not required to file annual reports of hours and earnings of employees. Tabulations for telephone carriers relate to those having annual operating revenues in excess of $ Z50, 000 (class A carriers), and subject to the full jurisdiction of the FCC. Included are 24 Bell System companies and 30 companies not affiliated with the Bell System. Tabulations for w ire-telegr aph, radiotelegraph, and ocean-cable carriers were con fined to companies with annual revenues exceeding $50,000 and engaged in interstate commerce. Western Union Telegraph Co. is the only wire-telegraph company included. This company and two others comprise the three ocean-cable carriers; data for five companies are included in the tabulations for radiotelegraph carriers. Employees and Occupational Groups Covered by the Study Officials and managerial assistants were not included in the tabulations. Also ex cluded were employees working outside the conterminous 48 States and the District of Co lumbia, except class A telephone carrier employees in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Alaska had no class A telephone carriers reporting to the Federal Communications Commission. All other employees, both full-time and part-time, were included. Part-time employees are defined as those regularly assigned shorter hours than a full-time schedule. Occupational groups for which separate data are presented are defined in the Federal Communications Commission's Rules and Regulations, Volume 10, Part 51, applying to telephone carriers, and Part 52, applying to telegraph companies. Copies of this volume are on sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Wash ington 25, D .C ., at $ 1.50 per subscription. Hours and Earnings Average hourly earnings presented in this bulletin were computed by dividing total "scheduled weekly compensation" by total "scheduled weekly hours." Average scheduled weekly hours were obtained by dividing the total scheduled weekly hours by the number of employees. The terms "scheduled weekly hours" and "scheduled weekly compensation" for the four carrier groups covered by the study are defined, according to the FCC's Rules and Regulations, as follows: CLASS A TELEPHONE CARRIERS 51.12(b) "Scheduled weekly hours" means the number of reg ular hours, excluding overtime hours, in the duty tours which the employee is scheduled to work during the week in which December 31 occurs, whether or not excused because of a holiday, vacation, leave of absence or other reason. 51.13(b) "Scheduled weekly compensation" means compensation to the employee at the rate of pay in effect on December 31 for the "Scheduled weekly hours." It includes the basic weekly pay rate plus any regularly scheduled supplementary compensation, such as differentials for evening and night tours, equivalent value of board and lodging for unlocated employees, equivalent value of meals 17 18 furnished dining service employees and equivalent value of living quarters and maintenance furnished managers of agency offices. It excludes pay for overtime work and pay in excess of weekday rates for Sunday and holiday work. WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH CO. 52.21(b) "Scheduled weekly hours" are defined as an employee's regular daily tour of duty multiplied by the number of days, or fraction of days, scheduled to be worked during a week. 52.22(b) "Scheduled weekly compensation" is defined as the wages scheduled to be paid for scheduled weekly hours as defined in 52.21(b). This should include employee contributions for old age benefits, unemployment insurance and similar deductions, paid va cation and holiday hours, the regularly scheduled weekly compen sation of employees temporarily on leave due to disability or sick ness, and the scheduled weekly compensation of both full- and part-time employees. The company reports that "scheduled weekly compensation" excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. RADIOTELEGRAPH AND OCEAN-CABLE CARRIERS Radiotelegraph and ocean-cable carriers are instructed to report scheduled weekly hours and compensation for their employees as defined above for the Western Union Telegraph Co., except that scheduled weekly compensation should include regularly scheduled maintenance, travel, or other allowances. Distribution of Workers by Earnings Classes In the tables, workers are distributed according to the percentages having stipulated hourly rates of pay. Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal 100. INDUSTRY WAGE STUDIES The following reports cover part of the Bureau's program of industry wage surveys.
