Preface
This bulletin
on wages and related
services industries in
the Bureau of Labor

summarizes the results of a studybenefits in the contract cleaning
20 metropolitan areas conducted by
Statistics in the summer of 1965.

Separate releases were issued earlier, usually
within a few months following the payroll period to which
the data relate. Copies of these releases, which provide
information on supplementary benefits as well as earnings
data, may be obtained from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Washington, D. C. , 20212, or from any of its regional
offices.
This study was conducted in the Bureau’ s Division
of Occupational Pay, Toivo P. Kanninen, Chief, under the
general direction of L. R. Linsenmayer, Assistant Com­
missioner, Office of Wages and Industrial Relations. The
analysis was prepared by Frederick L. Bauer, under the
immediate supervision of L. Earl Lewis. Field work for
the survey was directed by the Assistant Regional D irec­
tors for Wages and Industrial Relations.
Other reports available from the Bureau’ s pro­
gram of industry wage studies, as well as the addresses
of the Bureau's six regional offices, are listed at the end
of this bulletin.

Industry W age Survey----Contract Cleaning Services, Summer 1965
Summary
Average straight-time hourly earnings of service workers in contract clean­
ing services establishments varied considerably among 20 areas surveyed during
the summer of 1965, ranging from $ 2 ,6 8 in San Francisco—Oakland to $1 .3 7 in
Dallas. 1 The inter area variations were due to a number of factors, including
historical, regional and area pay differences, differences in the extent to which
wages were determined by collective bargaining, and differences in the types of
services performed. In each area, the typical worker performed general cleaning
duties, and worked substantially less than 40 hours a week.
Because of differences in the average number of hours worked, the relative
pay levels of the 20 areas based on average weekly earnings were somewhat
different from those based on average hourly earnings.
Average straight-time
weekly earnings of all service workers ranged from $97 in San Francisco—Oakland
to $35. 50 in Atlanta.
In most northern and west coast areas, formal provisions for paid holidays,
paid vacations, and various types of health and insurance benefits were generally
more common than in most southern areas.
Industry Characteristics
Employment. Employment in all of the areas studied, except Minneapolis—
St. Paul, had increased substantially since 1961 when a similar survey was con­
ducted. A doubling of employment during the 4-year period was noted in Phila­
delphia and Washington. 1
2 Area employment ranged from 21, 571 in New York3 to
870 in Seattle—Everett. The Los Angeles—Long Beach and Anaheim—Santa AnaGarden Grove area employed nearly 10, 000 workers. Boston and Washington were
the only other areas with 5, 000 workers or more.
General cleaners accounted for 75 percent of the 70,630 service workers
covered by the 20-area survey. Among the areas, the proportions were: About
50 percent in Miami, 65 percent in Philadelphia and New Orleans, between 70
and 80 percent in 11 areas, and 80 percent or slightly more in Atlanta, .Dallas,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis—St. Paul, San Francisco—Oakland, and Seattle—Everett.
Heavy cleaning tasks were usually performed by men, whereas in most areas,
light cleaning jobs were generally staffed by women. Men accounted for a m a­
jority of all service workers in all areas except Cleveland, where nearly threefifths were women.

1 See appendix A for scope and m ethod o f survey.
The average hourly earnings data in this bulletin were
com puted by dividing estim ated total earnings by aggregate weighted hours. This differs from the m ethod used in the
Bureau's earlier survey o f contract cleaning establishments, conducted in 1961. Average hourly earnings data in the
earlier survey were com puted by weighting each rate by the number o f workers receiving the rate, totaling, and
dividing by the number o f individuals.
2 See Industry W age Survey: Contract Cleaning Services, Summer 1961 (BLS Bulletin 1 3 2 7 , 1962).
3 The data reported for New York are representative o f establishments em ploying four-fifths o f the estim ated
em ploym ent in establishments with eight workers or more in the area; the balance o f the em ploym ent is in establish­
ments from which data could not be obtained and which could not appropriately be represented by other establishments.




2

Establishment Size. Three-fourths of the establishments within the scope of
the survey employed fewer than 50 workers. In some of the larger areas, however,
a few establishments employed more than 1, 000. As indicated in table 1, estab­
lishments, with 100 workers or more accounted for more than one-half of the total
employment in all but a few areas (Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh).
Types of Services. Establishments primarily engaged in providing janitorial
service accounted for a majority of the service workers in each area. Those pri­
marily furnishing window washing services employed three-tenths of the workers
in Pittsburgh, nearly one-fourth of those in Philadelphia, one-eight in Chicago,
and less than one-tenth in all other areas. T.wo-fifths of the workers in Miami
and one-fourth in New Orleans were employed by establishments primarily en­
gaged in furnishing disinfecting and exterminating services; in no other area did
the proportion substantially exceed one-tenth.
Most commonly, establishments
provided two types of services or more.
Types of Customers. In each area, the majority of the workers were em­
ployed by establishments which derived most of their revenue from contracts with
building owners (rather than from tenants) and from private firms or individuals
(rather than from government agencies, see table 1). Establishments which de­
rived most of their revenue from tenants of buildings accounted for at least a
fourth of the employment in only six areas.
Chicago and Washington were the
only areas in which more than a tenth of the workers were employed by estab­
lishments that obtained most of their revenue from government agencies.
Labor-Management Agreements. Establishments having agreements with
labor organizations that covered a majority of their service workers employed
approximately two-thirds of the workers in the 20 areas combined. The propor­
tions of workers in such establishments ranged from nine-tenths or more in
Cleveland, New York, San Francisco—Oakland, and Seattle—Everett to less than
one-tenth in each of the six southern areas.
The Building Service Employees
International Union was the major union in the industry at the time of the survey.
Average Earnings
Average straight-time hourly earnings for all service workers ranged from
$ 2 .6 8 in San Francisco—Oakland to $1.37 in Dallas (table 2). Identical averages
($2. 19) were recorded for Chicago and the Los Angeles—Long Beach and Anaheim—
Santa Ana—Garden Grove area. The average in# the New York area was $2. 11 an
hour. The four lowest-paying areas were in the South, and the two highest-paying
areas were on the Pacific Coast.
The pay levels of the 20 areas based on average weekly earnings were
somewhat different from those based on average hourly earnings, due to differ­
ences in the average number of weekly hours worked.
For example, workers
in Newark and Jersey City averaged 5 cents an hour less than workers in Boston,
but because of a longer average workweek (30 hours compared with 24.5), they
averaged $9 a week more.
Although average hourly earnings in Chicago, Los
Angeles—Long Beach and Anaheim—Santa Ana—Garden Grove were identical, workers
in Chicago averaged $7 a week higher because of their longer average workweek.
Individual hourly rates were concentrated within a narrow range in some
areas and varied widely in others (table 3). For example, nearly three-fourths
of the workers in Atlanta earned between $ 1 .2 5 and $ 1 .3 0 an hour, whereas in




3

Miami, the middle half of the workers earned between $ 1. 28 and $ 2 .0 6 an hour—
a 78-cent spread.
The proportion of workers earning less than $ 1 .2 5 an hour
ranged from 26 percent in Dallas to less than 5 percent in 16 areas. Milwaukee,
Pittsburgh, and St. Louis were the only areas outside the South in which more
than one-half of the workers earned less than $ 1 .5 0 an hour.
Men, as a group, averaged more than women in all areas.
In 13 of the
areas, the wage advantage for men was more than 30 cents an hour; in 7 of the
13, it was more than 40 cents. Differences in average pay levels for men and
women may be the result of several factors, including variations in the distri­
bution of men and women among establishments and among jobs with disparate
pay levels. All window washers, exterminators, floor waxers, and virtually all
heavy cleaners were men. Women accounted for the large majority of the light
cleaners in all areas except Atlanta, Boston, Newark and Jersey City, Miami,
New Orleans, and Minneapolis—St. Paul.
In each area, except Chicago, men,
on the average, worked more hours during the week than women.
Occupational Earnings
The occupations for which separate data are provided in tables 9 through
28 accounted for seven-tenths of the workers or more in all areas. Men window
washers, one of the highest paid jobs studied, had averages ranging from $ 3 .4 9
an hour in San Francisco—Oakland to $ 2 .0 7 in Baltimore. In all but a few areas,
these workers commonly received extra pay for hazardous work, including the
use of scaffolds, high ladders, and bosun chairs. Such payments, when reported,
were included in the earnings data.
Virtually all of the workers assigned to heavy cleaning tasks were men who
in most areas averaged from 50 cents to $ 1 an hour less than window washers.
The wage advantage for window washers was even greater when measured in terms
of average weekly earnings. In nearly all of the areas, the average weekly hours
of work for window washers was considerably greater than those for heavy clean­
ers, who were usually employed at night, and frequently worked less than 30 hours
a week.
Light cleaning tasks were usually performed by women in all areas except
Atlanta, Boston, Miami, Minneapolis—St. Paul, Newark and Jersey City, and
New Orleans, where men outnumbered women in this job. The large proportion
of the light cleaners in each area were employed at night. In all areas, except
Baltimore, earnings of women light cleaners averaged less than those of men
employed as heavy cleaners, usually by at least 10 cents an hour, and by more
than 25 cents in four areas.
Earnings of individual workers varied within the same job and area. The
extent of this variation, however, differed considerably among the areas and for
different jobs within the same area. For example, 85 percent of the men heavy
cleaners employed at night in Atlanta earned between $ 1. 25 and $ 1. 30 an hour,
whereas the earnings of the middle half of those workers in New York were
between $ 1 .7 9 and $ 2 .3 3 an hour. Approximately nine-tenths of the women light
cleaners in New York earned between $1. 80 and $ 2 an hour.
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Data were also obtained on method of wage payment and supplementary
benefits including paid holidays and vacations, retirement plans, life insurance,
sickness and accident insurance, hospitalization, surgical, and medical benefits
for service workers.




4

Method of Wage Payment, Nine-tenths of the workers or more in all ex­
cept three areas were paid time rates (table 32). Wage rates for a substantial
majority of the workers in 11 areas were determined by formalized pay systems
which nearly always provided for single rates for established occupational classi­
fications.
In contrast, a majority of the workers in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas,
Miami, Milwaukee, Newark and Jersey City, New Orleans, and Pittsburgh were
in establishments that determined rates of pay primarily on the basis of the in­
dividual worker1s qualifications. Incentive wage payment plans applied to threetenths of the workers in Miami, two-tenths in Baltimore, a sixth in New Orleans,
and less than one-tenth in a few other areas. Typically, such payments were in
the form of commissions for exterminators.
Late Shift Work. The large majority of the cleaners in each area studied
were employed during the evening hours. Seattle—Everett and Los Angeles—Long
Beach and Anaheim—Santa Ana—Garden Grove were the only areas, however, where
a majority of the workers were in establishments having formal provisions for
extra pay for work during the evening hours.
Workers received 15 cents per
hour in addition to day shift rates in Los Angeles—Long Beach and Anaheim—Santa
Ana—Garden Grove provided they worked more than one-half of their hours after
midnight. In Seattle—Everett, a majority of the workers were in establishments
having provisions for paying 5 cents per hour shift premium to workers in various
classifications on the third shift. Among the remaining areas, less than a tenth
of the workers in Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and Pittsburgh were in
establishments with late shift provisions.
Paid Holidays.
Paid holiday provisions were in effect in establishments
accounting for a majority of the workers in 15 of the 20 areas (table 33). The
most common provisions were for 6 paid holidays annually in 9 areas; 7 days in
Newark and Jersey City, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles—Long
Beach and Anaheim—Santa Ana—Garden Grove, and Seattle—Everett; 8 days in
Washington and San Francisco—Oakland; and 10 days in New York.
Provisions
for 3 or 8 days were of nearly equal importance in Boston and 5 days were most
commonly provided in Dallas.
Paid Vacations. Paid vacations of 1 week or more after 1 year of service
were provided by establishments accounting for at least one-half of the workers
in 15 areas (table 34). Two weeks or more after 3 years of service were pro­
vided in establishments accounting for a large majority of the workers in all
except the six southern cities, Pittsburgh, and Milwaukee; in these eight areas,
the proportions in establishments with this provision ranged from 4 to 18 percent
in the southern cities except Miami (43 percent), Pittsburgh (21 percent), and
Milwaukee (47 percent). Vacation provisions after longer periods of service were
somewhat more liberal in New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Los Angeles—Long
JBeach and Anaheim—Santa Ana—Garden Grove, and San Francisco—Oakland, than in
the other areas. For example, the proportion of workers in establishments pro­
viding 3 weeks after 10 years of service in these cities ranged from 7 3 percent
in St. Louis to 92 percent in New York. The proportions in establishments with
this provision in the other areas were: Three-tenths in Detroit, one-fourth in
Boston, about one-fifth in Newark and Jersey City, Milwaukee, and Miami, and
less than a tenth in the remainder.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans. Establishments providing at least
part of the cost for some type of health, insurance, or pension plan accounted
for a majority of the workers in all areas except Atlanta, Boston, Baltimore,
Dallas, New Orleans, and Washington (table 35).
Life, hospitalization, and
surgical insurance were available to seven-tenths of the workers or more in




5

Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles—Long Beach and Anaheim—Santa Ana—Garden Grove,
New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, San Francisco—Oakland, and Seattle—Everett.
Provisions for retirement pensions (other than social security) were in effect
in establishments accounting for seven-tenths of the workers or more in Los
Angeles—Long Beach and Anaheim—Santa Ana—Garden Grove, New York, San Fran­
cisco—Oakland, and Seattle—Everett. This benefit was also available to about onethird of the workers in Philadelphia, a sixth in Miami, and a tenth or less in
the remaining areas.
Nonproduction Bonuses. Nonproduction bonuses, typically provided at Christ­
mas or yearend, applied to two-fifths of the workers in Newark and Jersey City,
three-tenths in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, and a fifth in Atlanta and St. Louis
(table 36).
Smaller proportions, (a sixth or less) were in establishments with
this provision in 11 of the remaining areas.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of Survey
The survey included establishments primarily engaged in cleaning windows in busi­
ness houses and dwellings (SIC 7341); establishments primarily engaged in disinfecting build­
ings, and in exterminating insects, rodents, etc. (SIC 7 342); and establishments primarily
engaged in furnishing, to dwellings and other buildings, specialized services such as
janitorial service, floor waxing, and office cleaning (SIC 7349). These three industries
comprise the entire Industry Group No. 734, as defined in the 1957 edition of the Standard
Industrial Classification Manual and supplements, prepared by the Bureau of the 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 number of establishments and workers actually studied by the Bureau, as well
as the number estimated to be within the scope of the survey during the payroll period
studied, are shown in the table on the next page.
Method of Study
Data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists under the d irec ­
tion of the Bureau's Assistant Regional Directors for Wages and Industrial Relations. The
survey was conducted on a sample basis.
To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum
cost, a greater proportion of large than of small establishments was studied. In combining
the data, however, all establishments were given their appropriate weight. All estimates
in this report are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industry,
excluding only those below the minimum size at the time of reference of the universe data.
Establishment Definition
An establishment, for the purpose of this study, is defined as a single physical
location which provides services to dwellings and other buildings on a fee or contract basis.
An establishment is not necessarily identical with a business concern or company which
may consist of one or more establishments.
Employment
The estimates of the number of workers within the scope of the study are intended
as a general guide to the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey.
The advance planning n ecessary to make a wage survey compels the use of lists of estab­
lishments assembled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied.
Service Workers
The term "service w orker," as used in this report, includes working foremen and
all regularly employed full-time and part-time nonsupervisory workers engaged in perform ­
ing nonoffice functions. Administrative, executive, professional, and technical personnel,
and force-account construction employees, who were utilized as a separate work force on
the firm 's own properties, were excluded.
Occupations Selected for Study
The occupational classification was based on a uniform set of job descriptions de­
signed to take account of inter establishment and interarea variations in duties within the
same job. (See appendix B for listing of these job descriptions.) The occupations were
chosen for their numerical importance, their usefulness in collective bargaining, or their
representativeness of the entire job scale in the industry. The selected occupations include
full- and part-time workers (i. e. , those scheduled to work regularly in the establish­
ment) and excludes casual workers, working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners,
trainees, handicapped, and probationary workers.

1 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U. S. Bureau of the Budget, through March 1965, except Newark
and Jersey City and Los Angeles—Long Beach and Anaheim—Santa Ana-Garden Grove, which are combinations of 2 SMSA'S.
2 Includes only establishments with 8 workers or more at the time of reference of the universe data.
3 Includes executive, professional, office clerical, and other workers excluded from the separate service worker category.
4 See footnote 1, table 1.

Wage Data
The 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 in order to achieve com­
parability of data between establishments which have formal provisions for late-shift work
and/or formal provisions for hazardous work and those which do not, but 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 a part of the
workers' regular pay; but nonproduction bonus payments, such as Christmas or yearend
bonuses, were excluded. Group average hourly earnings were obtained by dividing e sti­
mated total earnings by aggregate weighted h o u rs .4 Average weekly earnings were obtained
by dividing the sum of the aggregate weighted weekly earnings by the weighted number of
workers.
For salaried workers, normal rather than actual hours were used. Weekly
earnings were rounded to the nearest half dollar.
4 This method of computing average hourly earnings differs from our usual practice in which average earnings are calculated
by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing by the number of individuals.
This change in procedure was made because of
the wide variation in the individual weekly hours worked in the contract cleaning services industries, often related to wide differences
in hourly earnings.




37

Method of Wage Payment
Form al rate structures for time-rated workers provide single rates or a range of
rates for each job category in the establishment. In the absence of a formal rate stru c­
ture, pay rates are determined primarily with reference to the qualifications of the individual
worker. A single rate structure is one in which the same rate is paid to all experienced
workers in the same job classification. L earners, apprentices, or probationary workers
may be paid according to rate schedules which start below the single rate and permit the
worker to achieve the full job rate over a period of time. Individual 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 m axi­
mum 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.
Supplementary Wage Provisions
Supplementary benefits and practices were treated statistically on the b asis that if
formal provisions in an establishment were applicable to half or more of the regularly
employed full- and part-time production 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 requirements, the proportion of workers
receiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated. Because of rounding, sums of indi­
vidual items may not equal totals.
Weekly Hours. 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.
Paid Holidays.
p ro vid ed annually.

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

Paid Vacations. The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal arrangements,
excluding informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the em ­
ployer or the supervisor. Payments not on a time basis were converted; for example, a pay­
ment 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 provisions for progression.
For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 5 years of service may include changes
in provisions which occurred after 4 years.
Health, Insurance, and Pension P lan s. Data are presented for all health, in su r­
ance, and pension plans for which all or a part of the cost is borne by the employer, ex­
cluding only programs required by law, such as workmen's compensation and social security.
Among the plans included are those underwritten by a commercial insurance company and
those paid for directly by the employer from his current operating funds or from a fund
set aside for this purpose.
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 b asis during illness or accident
disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes
at least a part of the cost. However, in New York and New Je r s e y , where temporary
disability insurance laws require employer contributions, plans are included only if the
employer (l) 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 part of the worker's, pay during absence from work because of illness; informal
arrangements have been omitted. Separate tabulations are provided according to (1) plans
which provide full pay and no waiting period and (2) plans providing either partial pay or a
waiting period.




38

Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial payment of
doctors' fees. Such plans may be underwritten by a commercial insurance company or a
nonprofit organization, or they may be self-insured.
Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as extended medical insurance, in­
cludes the plans designed to cover employees in case of sickness or injury involving an ex­
pense which goes beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide regular pay­
ments upon retirement for the remainder of the worker's life.
Nonproduction Bonuses. Nonproduction bonuses are defined for this study as bonuses
that depend on factors other than the output of the individual worker or group of workers.
Plans that defer payment beyond 1 year were excluded.




Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions
The prim ary purpose of preparing job d escrip ­
tions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field
staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers
who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and
different work arrangem ents from establishment to estab ­
lishment and from area to area. This perm its the grouping
of occupational wage rates representing comparable job
content. Because 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 establishm ents or those prepared
for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the
Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working
su perv isors, apprentices, learn ers, beginners, trainees,
handicapped, tem porary, and probationary w orkers. Regu­
larly employed part-tim e workers were included in the
selected occupations.

CLEANER, HEAVY

snow; and removing heavy rubbish. Include in this classification workers who perform
combination duties of cleaning and providing minor maintenance serv ices such as changing
light bulbs, repairing Venetian blinds, and installing and/or removing electric fans. Exclude
w orkers who specialize in window washing (window w ashers), workers waxing floors (waxers,
floor), and those who are additionally responsible for the operation of heating, air-conditioning,
