P re fa c e
This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of wages and
supplementary benefits in the contract cleaning services industries in July 1971. A similar study was
conducted in July 1968.
Separate releases were issued earlier for the following areas: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago,
Cleveland, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles-Long Beach and Anaheim-Santa Ana-Garden Grove,
Louisville, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Newark and Jersey City, New
Orleans, New York, Norfolk-Portsmouth and Newport News-Hampt on, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
Richmond, St. Louis, San Francisco-Oakland, Seattle-Everett, and Washington, D.C. Copies of these
releases are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or any of its
regional offices.
This study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations. Martin E.
Personick of the Division of Occupational Wage Structures prepared the analysis in this bulletin.
Field work for the survey was directed by the Assistant Regional Directors for Operations.
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.

and 2 weeks’ after 2 or 3 years; in 10 areas, the majority
of workers were under provisions for 3 weeks’ pay after
5 or 10 years. In 15 areas, at least half the workers were
in establishments providing all or part of the cost of
some type of health, insurance, and pension plan.

Summary

Average straight-time hourly earnings of service
workers in contract cleaning establishments varied con­
siderably among the 24 areas surveyed in July 1971,
ranging from $1.90—$1.94 in four southern areas—New
Orleans, Atlanta, Memphis, and Dallas—to $3.63 in San
Francisco-Oakland.l Earnings differences among areas
were due to a number of factors, including variations in
the extent of unionization and differences in types of
services rendered.
Reflecting to a large extent the part-time nature of
work in the industry, weekly earnings of all regularly
employed service workers averaged $65 or less in 15 of
the 24 areas studied. The range went from a low of $38
weekly in Richmond to a high of $127.50 in San
Francisco-Oakland. Due to variations in weekly hours of
work, area pay relationships based on weekly earnings
were somewhat different from those based on hourly
earnings.
In most areas, a majority of the workers performed
general cleaning duties, were employed during the
evening hours, and usually worked between 20 and 30
hours a week.
Shorter workweeks in the industry continued to
dampen weekly earnings gains in most areas studied.
Between July 1968 and July 1971 weekly earnings gains
were smaller than hourly gains in 14 of the 20 areas
studied in both years.12
Paid holidays, most commonly 5 to 8 a year, and paid
vacations were provided to a majority of workers in 2 0
out of 24 areas surveyed in July 1971. Typical vacation
provisions were for 1 week’s pay after 1 year of service

Industry characteristics

The Bureau’s study covered establishments with eight
workers or more which were engaged chiefly in cleaning
windows, disinfecting buildings, exterminating insects,
rodents, and other pests, and in furnishing to dwellings
and other buildings specialized services such as janitorial
service, floor waxing, and office cleaning on a fee or
contract basis. Cleaning contractors may provide a single
service relating to any of these categories or provide
total maintenance of a facility by supplying, in addition
to the cleaning personnel, workers such as guards,
gardeners, parking lot attendants, and refuse collectors.
In recent years, cleaning contractors, especially the
larger firms, have increasingly been providing total
maintenance. In some cases these firms have multi million-dollar operations and maintain installations in a
number of cities.3 However, most contract cleaning
establishments covered by this survey were local firms
employing less than 50 workers.
Occupational staffing. Cleaners constitute nearly fourfifths of the industry’s work force—93,500 out of
118,300 service workers covered by the 24-area survey.
Floor waxers, window washers, and exterminators each
accounted for 5 percent or less of the work force; other
groups not studied separately made up 9 percent.
About 48,000 cleaners generally performed light
tasks, such as sweeping floors, dusting furniture, and
emptying waste baskets; 46,000 performed heavy tasks,
including operating heavy motor-driven cleaning equip­
ment, wet-mopping floors, and washing walls and glass
partitions. Seventy percent of the cleaners were

fun ctions.
Average hourly earnings data in this bulletin exclude
prem ium pay for overtim e and for work on w eek en ds and
holidays, but include premium pay for late-shift and hazardous
w ork, if any. Average hourly earnings were obtained by dividing
aggregate w eekly earnings by the total num ber o f workers. See
appendix A for scope and m eth od o f survey.

In their 1970 Industry Management Survey (p. 5 ), the
N ational A ssociation o f Building Service Contractors reported
that a m ajority o f m em ber contractors replying provided total
m aintenance services, defined as any and all services involved in
the cleaning and m aintenance o f buildings and their
surroundings.

Philadelphia, Miami, Milwaukee, and Seattle (table 1).
For the 20 areas permitting comparisons with the 1968
survey, the proportion of workers employed in establish­
ments of this size declined in eight areas, increased in
six, and remained about the same (a change of 2
percentage points or less) in six.

employed at night. In a number of areas, significant
proportions worked less than 20 hours per week. There
were indications that many of the employees were
supplementing other incomes, although specific informa­
tion of this type was outside the scope of the survey.
Men constituted 70 percent of the 118,300 workers
in the survey. Fifty-three percent of the men performed
heavy cleaning tasks and 19 percent had light cleaning
duties; most of the remainder were employed as extermi­
nators, floor waxers, and window washers. In the 24
areas combined, 92 percent of the women performed
light cleaning tasks.
Employment trends. The contract cleaning industries
have provided growing job opportunities throughout the
past decade. Nationally, total employment more than
tripled from March 1959 to March 1971, rising from
92,416 to 292,680.4 Nearly half of the employment in
these industries is accounted for in the 24-area survey
summarized in this report.
As shown in text table 1, 16 of the 20 areas
permitting comparison reported employment increases
between July 1968 and July 1971, ranging from 3
percent in Cleveland to 60 percent in Atlanta. However,
the rate of growth in 1 0 of the 16 areas, as well as for
the 2 0 areas combined, was less than that for the
previous 3-year period . 5 In Chicago, for example, the
increase in service worker employment was 23 percent
between July 1968 and July 1971, compared with 67
percent during the preceding 3-year period. Employment
since 1968 actually declined, or increased less than 10
percent, in seven areas, but rose over 40 percent in two
areas (Washington, D.C. and Atlanta).
Among the 24 areas surveyed in July 1971, serviceworker employment ranged from under 1,000 in Louis­
ville and Memphis to 36,000 in New York. Five areas
had 5,000 to slightly over 10,000 workers—Los AngelesLong Beach and Anaheim-Santa Ana-Garden Grove;
Washington, D.C.; Chicago; Newark and Jersey City;and
Boston. The rest had fewer than 5,000 workers.
Size o f establishment. Nearly four-fifths of the establish­
ments within scope of the 1971 survey employed fewer
than 50 employees. In some of the larger areas, however,
a few establishments employed more than 1 ,0 0 0 .
Establishments with at least 100 workers accounted for
only 1 2 percent of all firms covered by the survey but

Type o f service. Establishments engaged primarily in
providing janitorial service accounted for a majority of
the service workers in each area, with the proportion
reaching 85 percent or more in 21 areas. Those chiefly
furnishing window-washing services employed about 13
percent of the workers in Philadelphia but no more than
8 percent in any other area. The proportion of workers
employed by contractors providing primarily disinfect­
ing and exterminating services was one-fifth in Miami,

one-eighth in Norfolk-Portsmouth and Newport NewsHampton, and less than one-tenth in the other areas.
Establishments engaged primarily in janitorial services,
window cleaning, or floor waxing generally provided at
least two of these services. Disinfecting and exterminat­
ing firms, however, usually were limited to one type of
service.

M e th o d o f wage p a ym en t. Nine-tenths of the workers or

more in all areas except Memphis were paid on a
time-rate basis (table 36). Time-workers usually were
paid under formal plans setting single rates for specific
occupational classifications in 12 areas, and under ranges
of rates in three areas. Rates determined by the
individual’s qualifications applied to a majority of
workers in eight areas. Incentive wage payment plans
applied to slightly more than half of the workers in
Memphis.

T yp e o f structure serviced. C o n t r a c t o r s
engaged
primarily in servicing office buildings accounted for half
or more of the workers in each area except SeattleEverett, where the proportion was 45 percent. In about
half the areas surveyed, 85 percent or more of the
service workers were in establishments primarily servic­
ing office buildings.
Those firms primarily servicing industrial plants or
factories employed about two-fifths of the workers in
Seattle-Everett, between one-tenth and nearly twotenths in Chicago, Los Angeles-Long Beach and
Anaheim-Santa Ana-Garden Grove, Pittsburgh, Balti­
more, and Milwaukee, and less than one-tenth in all
other areas. Contractors primarily servicing either
institutions, such as hospitals, nursing homes, schools,
etc., or supermarkets and other stores employed 15
percent or less of the workers in the areas studied.
Most establishments generally rendered their services
to two or more types of structures.

W eekly hours o f w o rk . Service employees in contract
cleaning establishments frequently worked less than 15
hours per week in July 1971 (table 6 ). On the average,
however, they worked 19 hours in Richmond, from 22
to nearly 30 hours in 16 areas, and from 30 to 35
hours in seven areas. For 16 areas, at least one-half of
the service employees worked less than 30 hours a week;
in nine out of 1 0 southern areas, a majority worked
under 25 hours weekly. In only five areas—Chicago, Los
Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, and San FranciscoOakland-did a majority of the employees work 35
hours or more (most commonly 40 to 45 hours).
Men in the survey averaged more hours a week than
women in 19 areas, averaged the same number of hours
in two areas (Baltimore and Philadelphia), and fewer
hours in three areas (Detroit, San Francisco-Oakland,
and Seattle-Everett). Except in Philadelphia, a larger
proportion of men than women worked at least 40 hours
per week (tables 7 and 8 ).
Between the 1968 and 1971 surveys, average work­
weeks declined in 14 areas, rose in five areas, and
remained the same in the Los Angeles area (text table 2).
Declines were smallest in Cleveland, Philadelphia, and
San Francisco-Oakland (approximately 1.5 percent in
each) and largest in Detroit and Minneapolis (slightly
over 11 percent in each). Increases were within a
relatively narrow range—from 1.7 to 3.8 percent.

T y p e o f custom er. Private firms or individuals were the
principal source of revenue for cleaning contractors
employing three-fifths of the workers in the Norfolk
area, and seven-eighths or more in the other areas. In
Washington, D.C., government agencies were the main
source of revenue for cleaning contractors employing 13
percent of the workers and were a secondary source for
those employing 30 percent. In half the areas surveyed, a
majority of the workers were employed by cleaning
contractors deriving at least some of their revenue from
government agencies. Only a few cleaning contractors,
however, derived their revenue entirely from government
agencies.
U nionization. Establishments which had collective bar­
gaining agreements covering a majority of their service
workers employed nearly two-thirds of the workers in
the 24 areas combined. The proportion of workers in
these firms ranged from under one-tenth in Baltimore to
seven-eighths or more in Cleveland, New York, St. Louis,
San Francisco-Oakland, and Seat tie-Everett (table 1). In
7 of the 1 0 southern areas studied, none of the
establishments visited had collective bargaining agree­
ments covering a majority of their regular service
employees. The Service Employees’ International Union




Average earnings

Straight-time hourly earnings for all service workers
ranged from $1.90 in New Orleans to $3.63 in San
Francisco-Oakland in July 1971 (table 2). Within
regional groupings, the spread in area averages was:
$2.19 to $3.15 in the Northeast; $1.90 to $2.27 in the
South; $2.15 to $2.94 in the North Central region; and
$2 . 8 6 to $3.63 in the West.
Hourly earnings levels increased in the 20 areas
3

permitting comparisons between the 1968 and 1971
sur/eys, ranging from 4 percent in New Orleans to nearly
30percent in New York (text table 2).
Between the 1968 and 1971 surveys, weekly earnings
levels rose more slowly than hourly earnings in most
areas because of widespread declines in hours worked
(text table 2). In New Orleans, average weekly earnings
actually declined during the period as a 2 -1 / 2 -hour
( 1 0 . 2 percent) cutback in average weekly hours worked
more than offset an increase in hourly pay. Other areas
where sharp declines in the average workweek signifi­
cantly dampened hourly pay gains included Atlanta,
Dallas, Detroit, Miami, and Minneapolis-St. Paul.
Due to variations in weekly hours of work, area pay
relationships based on weekly earnings were somewhat

different from those based on hourly earnings in July
1971. For example, workers in Chicago averaged 21
cents an hour less than those in Seattle-Everett, but
because of their longer average workweek (33 hours
compared with 29-1/2), they averaged $5 per week
more. Also, average hourly earnings were nearly identical
in Boston ($2.33) and Milwaukee ($2.34), but weekly
earnings averaged $53.50 and $64, respectively.
Average weekly earnings ranged from $38 in Rich­
mond to $127.50 in San Francisco-Oakland. Reflecting
to a large extent the part-time nature of jobs in the
industry, weekly earnings averaged $65 or less in 15 of
the 24 areas studied; they exceeded $100 in New York
and San Francisco-Oakland, where the longest average
workweeks and the highest average hourly earnings were
recorded.
The spread of individual hourly earnings, concen­
trated within comparatively narrow ranges in many
areas, largely reflected the numerical importance of
cleaners and the pay they commonly received (table 3).
For example, two-thirds of the workers in St. Louis
earned $ 2 but less than $2 . 1 0 per hour; half of the
workers in Dallas and Memphis earned $1.60 to $1.65
per hour; half in Seattle-Everett earned $3.30 to $3.40
per hour; and about one-third in San Francisco-Oakland
earned $3.70 to $3.80. In each instance, cleaners
accounted for at least nine-tenths of the workers paid
these amounts.
Men, as a group, averaged more than women in all
areas. The hourly wage advantage for men ranged from 4
to 36 percent, with the most common differential falling
between 10 and 20 percent. Differences in average pay
levels for men and women may be the result of several
factors, including variations in the distribution of men
and women among establishments and among jobs which
have disparate pay levels. For example, window washers,
usually the highest-paid occupation, were virtually all
men. On the other hand, women made up two-thirds of
the light cleaners, the lowest paid occupation studied,
while men constituted over 95 percent of those workers
performing heavy cleaning duties.
Also, differences noted in average earnings for men
and women in the same job and area may reflect possible
minor differences in duties. Job descriptions used to
classify workers in wage surveys are more generalized
than those used in individual establishments because
allowance must be made for possible minor differences
among establishments in specific duties performed.

$3.61 in San Francisco-Oakland. In eight of the 10
southern areas studied, average earnings of men heavy
cleaners fell below $2 per hour. In addition to San
Francisco-Oakland, the New York, Minneapolis-St. Paul,
and Seattle-Everett areas reported averages exceeding $3
per hour.
About two thirds of the workers performing light
cleaning tasks were women. Average earnings for women
employed as light cleaners ranged from $1.66 per hour

window washers. Together, these occupational groups
accounted for about four-fifths or more of the regularly
employed service workers in each area except Norfolk,
where the proportion covered was slightly over twothirds.
Of the occupational classifications studied separately
in the contract cleaning industries, window washers were
usually the highest paid (text table 3). They averaged
from $2.79 an hour in Pittsburgh to $4.76 in Detroit
and $4.78 in San Francisco-Oakland. In nearly half of
the 17 areas for which their earnings were published,
window washers averaged over $4 per hour. In most
areas, extra pay for hazardous work, such as using
scaffolds, high ladders, and bosun chairs, was commonly

Minneapolis-St. Paul (table 37). In New York, 90
percent of the workers were in establishments providing
10 paid holidays.

in Memphis to $3.33 in San Fran cisco-Oakland. As was
the case for men heavy cleaners, pay for women light
cleaners usually was lowest in the South, where it
typically fell below $2; among the higher paying areas
($2.49 to $2.84 per hour) were Chicago, Los Angeles,
New York, and Seattle-Everett.
Women light cleaners, usually employed at night and
frequently working less than 30 hours a week, com­
monly averaged from 10 to 34 percent an hour less than
men performing heavy cleaning; in Baltimore, however,
women light cleaners averaged 9 percent more than men
heavy cleaners and in New Orleans, the averages for both
were about the same.
Earnings of individual workers varied within the same
job and area (tables 9-32). The extent of the dispersion,
however, differed among the areas and for different jobs
within the same area. For example, about half of the
men heavy cleaners employed at night in Dallas earned
between $1.60 and $1.65 per hour, whereas the earnings
of the middle half of the array for those workers in New
York were between $2.81 and $3.23. Over four-fifths of
the women light cleaners employed at night in New
York earned between $2.80 and $2.90 per hour.

Paid vacations. Paid vacations after qualifying periods of
service were provided by cleaning contractors employing
a majority of service workers in all areas except Atlanta,
Dallas, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and New Orleans. In the 20
areas where a majority of workers were under paid
vacation plans, typical provisions were for 1 week’s pay
after 1 year of service (2 weeks’ in the three western
areas), and 2 weeks’ pay after 2 or 3 years. In seven
areas, over half of the workers were in establishments
with provisions for at least 3 weeks’ pay after 10 years,
and in three other areas, similar provisions applied after 5
years of service (table 38).

Health, insurance, and retirement plans. One or more
forms of health, insurance, or pension plans applied to a
majority of the service workers in 15 of the 24 areas
(table 39). Employers typically paid the total costs in
most of the areas reporting these benefits. One-third or
less of the workers were covered by such plans in six
southern areas as well as in Boston and Minneapolis—St.
Paul. In contrast, four-fifths or more of the workers in
the three western areas were under such plans.
Hospitalization, life, and surgical insurance were the
most commonly reported of these benefits; about half
the areas studied had a majority of workers covered by
each of these plans. Retirement pension plans, in
addition to Federal social security, were provided for
half or more of the service workers in seven areas. As
was the case in many other industries, major medical
care coverage had risen significantly in contract cleaning
since 1968; seven areas in July 1971 had a majority of
workers under such provisions compared to only one
area-San Francisco-Oakland-3 years earlier.

Establishment practices and
supplementary wage provisions

Data also were obtained on late-shift differentials and
selected supplementary wage benefits, such as paid
holidays, paid vacations, and various health, insurance,
and retirement plans. Information on wage practices and
benefits applies to a majority of regularly employed
service workers in each establishment, whether full time
or part time. All plans, except those legally required,
were included when at least part of the cost was paid by
the employer. No attempt, however, was made to
evaluate the cost of benefits provided by any plan.
Late-shift work. Although a majority of the cleaners in
each area studied were employed at night, only in two
areas—Seat tie-Everett and Los Angeles—did formal pro­
visions for shift premium pay usually apply to regular
service workers. In Los Angeles, contractors reporting
shift differentials paid 15 cents an hour above day-shift
rates if the employees worked more than half of their
hours after midnight. In Seattle-Everett, most employers
paid their workers on such shifts 5 cents an hour above
day rates. Among the other areas studied, shift
differentials were rarely found in the industry.

Other selected benefits. Pay for leave to attend funerals
of certain family members was available to at least half
of the service workers in six areas surveyed in July 1971
(table 40). Such provisions applied to nearly half the
workers in Minneapolis-St. Paul and San FranciscoOakland and to approximately one-third or less in the
other areas.
Jury-duty pay was provided to a majority of the
workers in only four areas—Los Angeles, Newark and
Jersey City, Richmond, and Seattle-Everett. Such pro­
visions applied to one-third or less of the workers in the
remaining areas.

Paid holidays. Paid holidays, most commonly 5 to 8
annually, were provided to half or more of the service
workers in all areas, except Atlanta, Memphis, and

Appendix A.

Scope and M ethod of Survey

Scope of survey

Employment

The survey included establishments engaged primarily
in cleaning windows in business houses and dwellings
(SIC 7341); establishments engaged primarily in disin­
fecting buildings and in exterminating insects, rodents,
etc. (SIC 7342), and establishments engaged primarily in
furnishing to dwellings and other buildings specialized
services, such as janitorial service, floor waxing, and
office cleaning (SIC 7349). These three industries
represent the entire Industry Group No. 734, as defined
in the 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classifica­
tion Manual, prepared by the U.S. Office of Management
and Budget.
The establishments studied were selected from those
employing eight workers or more at the time of
reference of the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The establishments and workers actually studied by
the Bureau, as well as the number estimated to be within
scope of the survey during the payroll period studied,
are shown in table A-l.

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

The term “service worker,” as used in this report,
includes working foremen and all regularly employed
full- and part-time nonsupervisory workers engaged in
performing nonoffice functions. Adminstrative, execu­
tive, professional, and technical personnel, and forceaccount construction employees, who were utilized as a
separate work force on the firm’s own properties, were
excluded. Casual workers, those hired on a job basis, also
were excluded.
Occupations selected for study

Occupational classification was based on a uniform set
of job descriptions designed to take account of inter­
establishment and interarea variations in duties within
the same job. (See appendix B for descriptions.) The
occupations were chosen for their numerical importance,
their usefulness in collective bargaining, or their repre­
sentativeness of the entire job scale in the industry. The
selected occupations included full- and part-time
workers (i.e., those scheduled to work regularly in the
establishment); casual workers, working supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handi­
capped and probationary workers were excluded from
the data for selected occupations but, except for casual
workers, were included in the data for all service workers.

Method of study

Data were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s
field staff under the direction of the Bureau’s Assistant
Regional Directors for Operations. 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 in this report are
presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in
the industry group, excluding only those below the
minimum size at the time of reference of the universe
data.
Establishment definition

Wage data

An establishment, for the purpose of this study, is
defined as a single physical location which provides
services to dwellings and other buildings on $fee or con­
tract basis. An establishment is not necessarily identica1
with a business concern or company, which may consist
of one establishment or more.

Wage information relates to average straight-time
hourly and weekly earnings, excluding premium pay for
overtime and for work on weekends and holidays.
Premium pay for late-shift work and for hazardous work
was included in the straight-time earnings for workers
receiving such payments. This procedure was followed to

achieve comparable data between establishments which
have formal provisions for late-shift work and/or formal
provisions for hazardous work and those which have
built the differentials into the rate. Incentive payments,
such as those resulting from piecework or production
bonus systems, and cost-of-living payments were
included as part of the workers’ regular pay; however,
nonproduction bonus payments, such as Christmas or
yearend bonuses, were excluded.
Group average hourly earnings were obtained by
dividing aggregate weekly earnings by aggregate weekly
hours. 1 Average weekly earnings were obtained by
dividing the sum of the aggregate weekly earnings by the
total number of workers. For salaried workers,
“normal” hours were used rather than actual hours.
Weekly earnings were rounded to the nearest half dollar.

output. Production bonuses are based on production
over a quota or for completion of a job in less than
standard time.
Weekly hours of work
Data relate to the weekly hours actually worked by
each worker during the payroll period studied. Average
weekly hours worked were rounded to the nearest
half-hour.
Supplementary wage provisions

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
by 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 probationary
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 occasionally may 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 maxpium 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.
Incentive workers include those paid commissions or
under piece work or bonus plans. Piecework is work for
which a predetermined rate is paid for each unit of*

Paid holidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day
and half-day holidays provided annually.
Paid vacations. The summary of vacation plans is limited
to formal arrangements, excluding informal plans where­
by time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the
employer 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 in provisions which
occurred between 5 and 10 years.
Health, insurance, and pension plans. Data are presented
for all health, insurance, and pension plans for which the
employer pays all or part of the cost, excluding only
programs required by law such as workmen’s compensa­
tion and social security. Among the plans included are
those underwritten by a commercial insurance company
and those paid for directly by the employer from his
current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this
purpose.

* This m eth od o f com puting average hourly earnings differs
from the usual practice in w hich average earnings are calculated
by sum m ing individual hourly earnings and dividing b y the
num ber o f individuals. This change in procedure was made
because o f the wide variations in individual w eek ly hours
w orked in the contract cleaning services industries; such variations
often are related to wide differences in hourly earnings. In the
earnings distribution tables, how ever, workers were distributed
am ong specified earnings classes according to their individual
hourly rates.




Supplementary benefits were treated statistically on
the basis that if formal provisions in an establishment
were applicable to half or more of the regularly
employed full- and part-time service workers in an
establishment, the practice or benefit was considered
applicable to all such workers. Similarly, if fewer than
half of such workers were covered, the practice or
benefit was considered nonexistent in the establishment.
Because of length-of-service and other eligibility require­
ments, the proportion of workers receiving the benefits
may be smaller than estimated. Because of rounding,
sums of individual items may not equal totals.

49

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 disability.
Information is presented for all such plans to which the
employer contributes at least part of the cost. However,
in New York and New Jersey, where temporary
disability insurance laws require employer contribu­
tions,2 plans are included only if the employer (1)
contributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides
the employees with benefits which exceed requirements
of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to
formal plans which provide full pay or a proportion of
the workers’ pay during absence from work because of
illness; informal arrangements have been omitted.
Separate tabulations are provided for (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 com­
plete or partial payment of doctors’ fees. Such plans
may be underwritten by a commercial insurance com­
pany or a nonprofit organization, or they may be
self-insured.
Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as




extended medical or catastrophe insurance, includes the
plans designed to cover employees for sickness or injury
involving an expense which goes beyond the normal
coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to
plans which provide regular payments upon retirement
for the remainder of the worker’s life. Data are
presented separately for retirement severance payments
(one payment or several over a specified period of time)
made to employees on retirement. Establishments pro­
viding both retirement severance payments and retire­
ment pensions to employees were considered as having
both retirement pension and retirement severance plans.
E stablishm ents having optional plans providing
employees a choice of either retirement severance
payments or pensions were considered as having only
retirement pension benefits.
Paid funeral and jury-duty leave. Data for paid funeral
and jury-duty leave relate to formal provisions for at
least partial payment for time lost as a result of
attending funerals of specified family members or
serving as a juror.

T he tem porary disability insurance laws in California and
R h ode Island do n ot require em ployer contrib utions.

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 occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Be­
cause of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content,
the Bureau’s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments
or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field staff are
instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handi­
capped, temporary, and probationary workers. Regularly employed part-time workers were in­
cluded in the selected occupations.
