Under a cooperative arrangement with the FCC, the Bureau of Labor Statistics tabulates and publishes the data annually. In 1982, the FCC ter minated the filing requirement for the telephone car riers and proposed to eliminate the requirement for tele graph companies in 1983. Consequently, this bulletin is the final report in the series for telephone workers. A report on 1982 earnings of telegraph workers, the last in its series, will be available late in 198-3. The 1981 study was conducted in the Bureau’s Of fice of Wages and Industrial Relations. Jonathan W. Kelinson of the Division of Occupational Pay and Em ployee Benefit Levels prepared the analysis in this bulletin. Other publications available from the Bureau’s pro gram of industry wage studies, as well as the addresses of the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end of this bulletin.

Qthef numerically important job categories, and their hourly averages, include building, supplies, and motor vehicle employees ($10.80); business office and sales employees ($10.78); and clerical employees ($9.86). These occupations represent the full spectrum of ac tivities performed by employees in the telephone industry. Employees of major telephone companies are highly unionized. In the Bell System, most of the organized employees are covered by labor-management agree ments with the Communications Workers of America (CWA). These agreements establish rate ranges for in dividual job classifications. Actual pay rates and bene fit levels may vary within the Bell System from com pany to company, but general contract provisions in clude automatic pay progression through several steps, based on length of service. Employees of the Bell System had a 25-percent av erage wage advantage over those of non-Bell car riers—$11.63 an hour compared to $9.33. By occupa tional group, average hourly wages for non-Bell Sys tem workers typically ranged from 70 to 80 percent of those for Bell employees. Non-Bell System workers in the construction, installation, and maintenance em ployee group, however, earned about 88 percent as much as their Bell System counterparts. Differences be tween the worker groups narrowed slightly when weekly earnings were compared, reflecting longer av erage workweeks of non-Bell workers in some occupa tional groups. (See tables 2 and 3 for occupational av erages and earnings distributions for Bell System and non-Bell employees.) Telephone workers in the Middle Atlantic States re corded the highest average wage—$12.63 an hour (ta ble 4). Other regional averages ranged from $10.36 an hour in the Mountain States to $11.95 in New England. Some 57,700 employees could not be allocated to indi vidual regions, but were included in the nationwide to tal. Seven-eighths of these workers were employees of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company’s Long Lines and General Departments; their average hourly wage was $14.29.2 The 11.8-percent increase in average hourly pay of telephone workers from 1980 to 1981 has been exceeded Summueif The 1981 survey of telephone and telegraph workers covered 929,122 full- and part-time employees of major telephone carriers and 17,250 telegraph workers. Com bined, they accounted for seven-tenths of the Nation’s approximately 1.3 million workers in the telephone and wire telegraph communications industries. Bell System employees accounted for just over nine-tenths of the telephone workers surveyed, while the Western Union Telegraph Company employed seven-tenths of the tele graph workers studied. Wage rates of full-time telephone carrier employees covered by the survey averaged $11.47 an hour in De cember 1981.1Employees of Bell System companies av eraged $11.63—one-fourth more than employees of nonBell System companies ($9.33). The nonmessenger work force of six international telegraph carriers averaged $12.31 an hour in October 1981, compared with an av erage hourly rate of $9.68 for nonmessenger employees of the Western Union Telegraph Company. Among the principal telephone carriers, wage levels rose. 11.8 percent between the 1980 and 1981 surveys. This compares with a 13.5-percent increase among the international telegraph carriers, and an 8.3-percent rise for Western Union. The 1980-81 rate of increase in telephone carriers kept pace with the 11.4-percent change between 1979 and 1980. In contrast, the 1980— 81 increase in international telegraph carriers was nearly twice as large as in the previous year (7.1 percent), and in the Western Union Telegraph Company, the 198081 increase was almost one-fourth higher than the 6.7percent rise in 1980. TeSophon© (gamers In December 1981, full-time employees of the Na tion’s principal telephone carriers received straight-time pay averaging $11.47 an hour (table 1). Among the ma jor full-time occupational categories, average rates of pay ranged from $8.73 for telephone operators to $17.28 for professional and semiprofessional employees. The construction, installation, and maintenance employee group contained the largest number of workers—almost 336,000; hourly earnings for these workers averaged 1 The study was limited to the 58 carriers that had annual operating revenues exceeding $1 million and were engaged in interstate or for eign communications services either through use o f their own facili ties or through connections with another carrier under direct or in direct common control. Officials and managerial assistants o f these carriers were not included in the study. 1 2 Also excluded from the regional tabulations, but included in the U.S. totals, were carriers operating in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. These carriers, none o f which was affiliated with the Bell System, employed 6,700 workers who averaged SI 1.14 an hour. This is partly due to the rate range systems provided under the labor-management agreements. They call for automatic pay progressions through several wage steps, based on length of service. In a few jobs, how ever, wage rates were less dispersed than the general pattern. For example, individual hourly earnings fell in the $5.50-$6 range for nearly all of the operators-intraining, and between $6.50 and $7.50 for slightly more than half of the laborers. Total full-time employment at Western Union in Oc tober 1981 was 12,138—up slightly from the previous year. Nearly three-fifths of these workers were men, the largest proportion of whom were in the construc tion, installation, and maintenance employee group. Just over two-fifths of all women were employed as tele graph operators. Overall average earnings for these two groups were $10.57 and $7.74, respectively. only twice since 1970—14.9 percent in 1970-71 and 12.9 percent in 1973-74. For the decade December 1971 through December 1981, the average annual increase was 10.0 percent. Just over one-half of the 912,213 full-time telephone carrier employees in December 1981 were women. They accounted for nine-tenths of the telephone operators, approximately five-sixths of the clerical employees, and three-fourths of the business office and sales employees. Men were predominant in the construction, installation, and maintenance jobs (nearly four-fifths), in the profes sional and semiprofessional employee category (about two-thirds), and in the building, supplies, and motor vehicle classification (about seven-tenths). Western Union Telegraph Company Hourly wage rates for Western Union’s full-time non messenger employees averaged $9.68 in October 1981. This was 8.3 percent above the $8.94 average reported in 1980. Messengers averaged $6.40 an hour—up 8.1 percent from 1980. Of the 423 messengers employed in October 1981, seven-eighths were motor messengers. They averaged $6.63 an hour, 38 percent more than those who walked or used bicycles to deliver messages and parcels ($4.81). (See table 5.) Wage rates for Western Union bargaining unit em ployees are determined by labor agreements with the United Telegraph Workers (UTW) in all areas except the New York metropolitan area, where agreements are with the Communications Workers of America (CWA). Under terms of the current 3-year agreements, workers who were in the bargaining units of the CWA and UTW received across-the-board wage increases of 8 percent, effective in July 1982, and 7 percent in July 1983; a 7-percent increase was scheduled to be granted in the third year of the contracts.3 Among the major occupational groups studied, the professional and semiprofessional staff registered the highest average wage in October 1981—$13.38 an hour. The largest employment group—construction, installa tion, and maintenance workers—with slightly over onethird of the work force, averaged $10.57 an hour. Other employee groups and their hourly rates include tele graph office superintendents and managers ($9.85); sales employees ($9.79); clerical employees ($8.75); building service employees ($8.07); and telegraph operators ($7.74). Individual earnings for most occupations studied cov ered a wide range, exceeding $5 an hour in many cases. International telegraph earners Wage rates averaged $12.20 an hour for full-time em ployees of six international telegraph carriers included in the October 1981 survey, up 13.5 percent from Oc tober 1980.4 The 5,034 nonmessenger employees, ac counting for virtually all of the work force of the six companies, averaged $12.31 an hour in October 1981. The lowest paid employee group, messengers, averaged $4.68 an hour. Among other employee groups, average pay rates ranged from $21.31 for office or station su perintendents and assistants and $16.92 for professional and semiprofessional employees to $8.90 for nonsupervisory clerical employees and $8.69 for building serv ice employees. Average wage rates for sales employ ees, operators, and construction, installation, mainte nance, and other technical employees fell within the $10 to $13 range (table 6). Just over three-fourths of the work force were men in October 1981. They were predominant in every oc cupational area except nonsupervisory clerical workers. Three-fifths of the female workers were in the non supervisory clerical worker category; one-sixth worked as nonsupervisory operators. Overall hourly averages for these two occupations were $8.90 and $9.65, respectively. 3 “Selected Wage and Benefit Changes,” Current Wage Developments, October 1982, pp. 20-21. 2 4 The study included carriers engaged in nonvocai international tele graph communications either by radio or ocean cable. The carriers included in the 1981 survey were: FTC Communications, Inc.; ITT World Communications, Inc.; RCA Global Communications, Inc.; TR T Telecommunications Corporation; U.S. Liberia Radio Corpo ration; and Western Union International, Inc. Although many o f the occupational categories studied are common to both radio and cable operations, some are exclusive to one carrier group. For example, cable operators were employed only in cable operations. Table 1.

All carriers engaged in interstate or foreign com munications service by means of their own facilities or through connection with the facilities of another car rier under direct or indirect common control are sub ject to the full jurisdiction of the Commission. Tele phone carriers engaged in interstate or foreign service only by connection with the facilities of another un affiliated 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. In 1982, the FCC terminated the filing requirement for the tele phone carriers and proposed to eliminate the require ment for telegraph companies in 1983. Tabulations for telephone carriers relate to those hav ing annual operating revenues over $1 million, and which are subject to the full jurisdiction of the FCC. Included are 25 Bell System companies and 33 compa nies not affiliated with the Bell System.
