Government Printing Office Washington, D .C . 20402 - Price 30 cents Preface This summary of data on employment and hourly rates of pay is based on annual reports filed with the Federal Communications Commission by telephone carriers, the Western Union Co., and international telegraph carriers, as required by the amended Communications Act of 1934. Under a cooperative arrangement, the Bureau of Labor Statistics tabulates and publishes the data as part of a continuing series. The study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations. The analysis was prepared by Joseph C. Bush in the Division of Occupational Wage Structures. Other reports available from the Bureau’s program of industry wage studies, as well as the addresses of the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end of this bulletin. iii Contents Page Summary ...........................................................................................................................

Total employment declined, however, for the two non vocal telegraph groups— down 3.8 percent for the Western Union Company, the Nation’s only domestic carrier, and 2.1 percent in the international companies. Summary Wage rates1 of employees of the Nation’s principal communications carriers averaged $3.89 an hour in late 1970-up 7.5 percent from a year earlier. This advance was one of the largest increases recorded by the Bureau’s annual surveys conducted since 1947, and compares with the 4.3 percent rise during 1969 and 6.8 percent during 1968. The number of communications workers2 (excluding officials and managerial assistants) rose 4.9 percent during the 1969-70 period to 860,848-the highest level since 1947. (See chart.) Telephone carrier employees, 97 percent of the workers covered by the survey, averaged $3.89 an hour in December 1970. Average hourly pay rates for Western Union’s nonmessenger employees and employees of international telegraph carriers were $3.88 and $4.81, respectively, in October 1970. Average wage rates advanced 7-1/2 percent in the telephone sector, 7.8 percent for Western Union nonmessenger employees, and 10.3 percent for workers of international telegraph carriers since the 1969 study.3 Employment in telephone carriers covered by the survey rose by 41,469 workers in 19704— 5.2-percent a Telephone Carriers Employment and pay rates in December 1970. Earnings of the 831,557 telephone carrier employees studied averaged $3.89 an hour in December 1970. (See table 1.) Individual rates were widely dispersed, ranging from $2.75 to $4.50 an hour for the middle half of the workers in the array. The dispersion of individual pay rates largely reflects the wide range of worker skills required by the industry, differences in pay by carrier and locality, and the extensive use of rate-ranges for specific occupations. These rate ranges, in many instances, resulted in the maximum rate exceeding the minimum rate for a given job and locality by as much as 70 percent. The spread was usually greater for craft occupations than for clerical jobs and telephone operators. Wages and working conditions for a large majority of telephone carrier employees are determined under provisions of collective bargaining agreements, mostly with the Communications Workers of America (CWA). Many carriers have separate agreements for individual departments and, in some cases, for different areas. The New York Telephone Co., for example, has separate agreements for its plant, traffic, and commercial departments in the New York City area, and three other agreements for those departments in the rest of the State. The industry employs workers in a wide variety of jobs ranging from custodial to professional and executive positions, a number of which are staffed almost exclusively by one sex. Women made up 55 percent of the work force and accounted for almost all of the telephone operators, slightly over nine-tenths of the clerical workers, and seven-tenths of the business office and sales employees. Men, on the other hand, accounted for th re e -fo u rth s o f the professional and semiprofessional staff, and for nearly all construction, 1 See appendix for scope and method of survey including definitions of employment covered and pay rates. Since 1947, annual studies have been made in cooperation with the Federal Communications Commission. Information before 1961 for all carriers included in the annual reports related to an October payroll period. In 1961, the reference date for telephone carriers was changed to December. 2 The study covered nearly nine-tenths of the estimated 945,500 employees of the Nation’s telephone communications industry in December 1970 and almost all of the employees in the telegraph communications industry in October 1970. 3 For results of the previous survey, see Industry Wage Survey: Communications, 1969, BLS Bulletin 1696,1972. 4 The study of telephone carriers was limited to those (56) that had annual operating revenues exceeding $1 million and engaged in interstate or foreign communications services using their own facilities or through connections with those of another carrier under direct or indirect common control. Approximately 7,250 officials and managerial assistants of these carriers were not included in the study. 1 E m p lo y m e n t a n d A v e r a g e a n d M a n a g e r ia l H o u r ly R a te s o f A s s is ta n ts , C o m m O c to b e r u n ic a tio n s W 1 9 4 7 — D e c e m o r k e r s b e r E x c e p t O ffic ia ls 1 9 7 0 T h o u s a n d s o f E m p lo y e e s 1600 A v e r a g e H o u rly R a te s $ 4 .0 0 / jjpr ^ 0 1300 1200 A v e r a g e h ourl y ra tes > V y Emp l o y m e n t - — 4 L i i i i i i !

Average hourly earnings for numerically important job categories included $2.71 for experienced switchboard operators, $2.99 for nonsupervisory clerical employees, $3.93 for cable splicers, $4 for central office repairmen, and $4.13 for exchange repairmen. Regionally, average hourly earnings exceeded the national level of $3.89 in the Pacific and Middle Atlantic, where earnings averaged $4.12 an hour. Averages in the remaining regions ranged from $3.89 in the Great Lakes to $3.45 in the Southeast. The 40,118 employees of American Telephone and Telegraph Long Lines and Central Office were not tabulated by region and were included in the U.S. totals only; workers for this company averaged $4.92 an hour.5 The regional spread in average wages varied by occupation. Experienced switchboard operators had a greater percent spread than nonsupervisory clerical employees and central office repairmen. (See text table i.) Text table 2.

Bell System companies usually covered an entire State or group of States and were generally larger than other companies. Fourteen of the 25 Bell carriers employed at least 25,000 workers and the two largest each employed about 100,000. In contrast, the largest of the 31 non-Bell companies studied had only 6,500 employees and 18 of the 31 carriers had employments of fewer than 500. Average pay levels for occupational groups studied separately were nearly always higher for Bell than for non-Bell carriers. (See tables 2 and 3.) In the numerically important occupational categories, average hourly pay rates in non-Bell carriers ranged from 82 to 90 percent 5 Also included only in U.S. totals were non-Bell carriers in Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, and Alaska. w e e k ly rates 84 88 82 88 90 89 84 83 90 85 82 90 Trends in employm ent and pay rates . Total employ ment (except officials and managerial assistants) in creased by 41,469 workers or 5.2 percent in 1970. The increase, amounting to 5 percent in Bell System com panies and 9 percent in non-Bell companies, was some what smaller than the record 8.5 percent set in 1969. The employment level for all telephone carriers in 1970 was 50 percent higher than the 552,700 workers recorded by the initial study in 1947. Since that time, the employment trend has been generally upward except for declines registered from 1957 to 1962, when employment dropped from 681,600 to 596,300. This decline resulted chiefly from the installation of new and improved equipment which permitted a sharp reduction in the number of telephone operators. From 1962, employment gains have been reflected in nearly all major categories, including telephone operators. Growth in telephone-carrier employment between 1947 and 1970 has been accompanied by changes in the occupational make up of the industry, as well as a relative increase in the number of men employed. Men constituted 33 percent of the employment in 1947 compared with 45 percent in 1970. As indicated in text table 3, proportions of workers in major occupational categories changed more during 1947-62 period than in the 1962-70 period. Wage levels in the Nation’s principal telephone com panies rose 7-1/2 percent in 1970— one of the largest increases recorded by the Bureau’s annual surveys of oc cupational pay rates in communications carriers. This increase, nearly double the 4 percent in 1969, pushed the average for all telephone workers (except officials and managerial assistants) to $3.89 an hour in December 1970-209 percent above the $1.26 recorded in 1947.

An estimated 49 cents of the $2.63 increase during this period, however, is due to changes in the occupational composition of the work force.6 Since 1947, pay levels for four important job categories have increased between 149 and 179 percent.

These agreements provided wage increases of $5.50 to $6 a week for plant craftsmen and $3.50 to $4 for telephone operators and clerical employees in 1970.8 Between 1951 and 1970, average earnings for Bell System employees increased $2.30 an hour (from $1.63) or 141 percent compared with $2.07 (from $1.14) or 182 percent for employees of other companies. The average for Bell System employees exceeded that for Regional relationships have changed little over the years; the lowest average wages have been recorded in the Southeast and the highest in the Pacific or Middle Atlantic States. (See text table 5.) In December 1970, Bell System employees averaged $3.93 an hour— 7.7 percent over the previous year’s average of $3.65. Employees of other companies averaged $3.21, a gain of 8.1 percent over the 1969 average— $2.97.7 Much of the increase for Bell System 8 A general wage increase of $23 to $25 a week was granted to plant craftsmen and $16.50 to $18.50 a week to other employees under terms o f 3-year collective bargaining agree ments effective in the spring or summer of 1971. Also effective at that time were: (1) Reductions in the rate progression schedules from 6 to 5 years for plant craftsmen and from 5 to 4 years for telephone employees; and (2) a “big cities” wage allowance ranging from $5 to $9 a week to compensate for higher living costs in 29 specified cities. These agreements, covering employees of A. T. & T. Long Lines and operating Bell companies, also provided for general wage increases and cost-of-living adjustments in 1972 and 1973. (For more information on the 1971 Bell System union settlements, see Current Wage Developments, September 1 9 7 1 , No. 284, and later issues.) 6Weighting occupational averages for 1970 by occupational employment in 1947 results in an average of $3.40 an hour instead of $3.89. 7The apparent anomaly of the 7.5-percent wage increase for all carriers compared with the 7.7 and 8.1-percent advance for its components is largely attributable to two factors: the greater proportional rise o f employment in lower-paying nonBell companies than in Bell companies; and rounding of the data used to compute the averages. O c to b e r R egion 4 employees of other companies by 49 cents or 43 percent in 1951, and by 72 cents or 22 percent in 1970.9 Average hourly rates of pay for numerically impor tant occupational categories staffed largely by men were $3.86 for linemen and cablemen, $4.07 for traffic testing and regulating employees, and $4.26 for subscribers’ equipment maintainers. Telephone oper ators averaged $2.81, while the hourly pay rate for experienced non-Morse telegraph operators was $2.89. Nonsupervisory clerical workers averaged $3.32. Western Union’s messengers, nearly all male, consti tuted 10 percent of the company’s work force in October 1970. Motor messengers averaged $2.75 an hour, while working an average of 39.7 hours a week. Walking and bicycle messengers, many of whom were employed part-time, averaged $1.79, while averaging 29.1 hours a week. Individual rates of the highest-paid workers exceeded those of the lowest-paid by $2 an hour or more in most of the nonmessenger occupational categories shown in table 5. In a few cases, however, large proportions of workers in the same occupation were concentrated within comparatively narrow ranges. One-half of the subscribers’ equipment maintainers, for example, were paid between $4.50 and $4.75 an hour, and two-fifths of the traffic managers, chief operators, supervisors and instructors received between $3.50 and $3.75. All 911 walking and bicycle messengers had wage rates between $1.60 and $2 an hour. The 7.8 percent increase in average rates of pay for nonmessenger employees between October 1969 and October 1970 was the largest annual increase for these workers since 1957-58, when an 8.1 percent increase was recorded. Percent increases in average pay rates between 1969 and 1970 were not uniform among the oc cupational categories studied: 4 percent for clerical employees, 6 percent for telegraph operators, 6 percent for construction, installation and maintenance workers, and 7 percent for professional and semi professional employees. Average pay rates for motor messengers rose 8 percent and for walking and bicycle messengers, 7 percent. Changes in average pay rates reflect not only general wage changes but also differences in the dis tributions of workers over rate ranges that apply J:o most occupations. During periods of high labor turnover, for example, average rates may be affected by a disproportionate number of workers recently hired and paid at the minimum rate for a given job. Total employment (exclusive of officials and mana gerial assistants) decreased by 896 workers or 3.8 percent between October 1969 and October 1970. Employment in most occupational categories declined; messengers dropped 17 percent and telegraph operators 15 percent. Notable exceptions, however, to the overall decline occurred among the professional and semiprofessional and clerical job categories, in which some Western Union Company Straight-time rates of pay for the 21,634 non messenger employees of the Western Union Co. (ex clusive of 391 officials and managerial assistants) averaged $3.88 an hour in October 1970. (See table 5.) The 1,339 motor messengers averaged $2.75 and the 911 walking and bicycle messengers, $1.79. Between October 1969 and October 1970, average rates of pay rose 7.8 percent for nonmessenger employees, 8.3 percent for motor messengers, and 7.2 percent for walking and bicycle messengers. These increases were largely the result of collective bargaining agreements negotiated in June 1968, which provided for a deferred wage adjust ment in June 1970. Wage rates for Western Union employees are deter mined by collective bargaining agreements with the United Telegraph Workers (UTW) in all cities except New York, where the agreements are with the Com munication Workers of America (CWA). Effective June 1, 1970, all employees (except walking and bicycle messengers) received a percentage increase based on their rates of pay in effect May 31, 1968. In the UTW bargaining unit, the increase was 6 percent; in the CWA bargaining unit, 6.3 percent. All walking and bicycle messengers who had 24 months or more of progression credit were granted a 6-cents-an-hour raise. Established wage-rate ranges are provided for all job classifications covered by UTW and CWA agreements. Advancements through the several progression steps are automatic after specified periods of service for employees meeting requirements for the job. Differences between the starting and the maximum rates for some occupations amounted to 75 cents or more. In UTW contracts, rate ranges for most job classifications varied by locality, according to the amount of business in each office. Nationwide rates, however, applied to walking and bicycle messengers. Men, making up 56 percent of Western Union’s nonmessenger employees in October 1970, were pre dominant among the professional and semi professional employees, sales personnel, and construction, installa tion, and maintenance workers. On the other hand, office clerical employees, and telegraph and telephone operators were predominantly women. 9 Data for Bell System and non-Bell companies as reported to FCC in prior years are not comparable with those reported since 1951. (For more information on employment and earnings trends in Bell System carriers from 1945 to 1965, see “Employment and Wage Trends in Bell System Companies, Monthly Labor R eview, March 1967, pp. 3841.) 5 significant increases were recorded. Such year to year changes have brought about dramatic shifts in the occupational composition opthe work force during the 23-year period covered by these surveys. (See text table International telegraph carriers Pay rates of the 5,407 employees in the five international telegraph carriers covered by the study1 0 averaged $4.81 an hour in October 1970. (See table 6.) This rise was 10.3 percent higher than the average recorded 1 year earlier and compared with increases of 6.1 percent in 1969 and 7.3 percent in 1968. Employ ment, on the other hand, declined 2.1 percent during 1970 to' slightly below its October 1968 level of 5,424 employees. Men, constituting slightly more than four-fifths of the work force in October 1970, outnumbered women in nearly all occupational categories for which wage data were developed. Average hourly rates of pay for numerically important jobs were $4.95 for mechanics and maintenance technicians, $4.37 for teletypemultiplex operators, and $3.93 for cable operators. Nonsupervisory clerical employees, accounting for twothirds of the women surveyed, averaged $3.90 an hour. Included in the study are carriers engaged in nonvocal international telegraph communications either by radio or by ocean cable. Although many of the occupational categories studied are common to both operations, some are exclusive to one carrier group. For example, radio operators and radiotelegraph riggers were reported only by radio telegraph carriers; cable operators, on the other hand, were employed only in ocean cable operations. 6 .)

Scope and Method of Survey Hours and rates Data presented in this study are based on annual reports filed with the Federal Communications Com mission by communication carriers, as required by the amended Communications Act of 1934. All carriers en gaged 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 nections 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 $1 million, and subject to the full jurisdiction of the FCC. Included are 25 Bell System companies and 31 companies not affiliated with the Bell System. Tabulations for wire-telegraph and international tele graph carriers were confined to companies with annual revenues exceeding $50,000 and engaged in interstate or foreign commerce. Western Union Telegraph Co. is the only wire-telegraph company included. Five companies engaged in non vocal radio or cable communications are included in the international telegraph tabulations. Average hourly rates presented in this bulletin were co m p u ted 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 three carrier groups covered by the study are defined, according to the FCC’s Rules and Regulations , as follows: Telephone Carriers 51.12(b). “Scheduled weekly hours” means the number of regular 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 o f a holiday, vacation, leave of absence, or other reason. 51.13(b). “Scheduled weekly compensation” means com pensation 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 sup plementary compensation, such as differentials for evening and night tours, equivalent value of board and lodging for unlocated employees, equivalent value of meals 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. Employees and occupational groups Western Union Telegraph Company covered by the study 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. Officials and managerial assistants were not included in the tabulations. Also excluded were employees work ing outside the 50 States and the District of Columbia, except telephone carrier employees in Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. 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 FCC’s Rules and Regula tions , volume X, part 51, applying to telephone carriers, and part 52, applying to telegraph companies. Copies of this volume are on sale by the Superintendent of Docu ments, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C., 20402, at $1.50 per subscription. 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 contri butions for old-age benefits, unemployment insurance and similar deductions, paid vacation and holiday hours, the regularly scheduled weekly compensation for employees temporarily on leave due to disability or sickness, and the scheduled weekly compensation of both full- and part-time employees. The company reports that “scheduled weekly com pensation” excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. 13 International telegraph carriers Distribution of workers by earning classes International telegraph carriers are instructed to report scheduled weekly hours and compensation for their employees as defined above for the Western Union T elegraph C o ., e x c e p t th a t scheduled weekly compensation should include regularly scheduled main tenance, travel, or other allowances. In the tables, workers are distributed according to the percentage having stipulated hourly rates of pay. Be cause of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal 100. 14 Industry Wage Studies The most recent reports for industries included in the ing Office, Washington, D.C., 20402, or any of its reBureau’s program of industry wage surveys since January gional sales offices, and from the Bureau of Labor Statis1960 are listed below.
