Preface

This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of wages
and supplementary benefits in the corrugated and solid f|ber box industry in March 1976.
Separate releases for eight metropolitan areas of industry concentration (Chicago,
Jersey City, Los Angeles-Long Beach, Milwaukee, Newark, New York, Philadelphia, and
St. Louis) were issued earlier. Copies are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Washington, D.C. 20212, or any of its regional offices.
The study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations.
Sandra L. King of the Division of Occupational Wage Structures prepared the analysis.
Field work for the survey was directed by the Bureau’s Assistant Regional Commissioners
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.

regions; about four-fifths in New England and the Great
Lakes region; and about three-fourths in the Southeast and
Middle West. The eight metropolitan areas studied separa­
tely accounted for one-fourth of the workers in the industry.

Summary

Straight-time hourly earnings of production and related
workers in the corrugated and solid fiber box industry
averaged $4.65 an hour in March 1976. 1 Among the
eight regions studied, 2 hourly earnings ranged from $4.15
in the Southeast to $5.62 in the Pacific region. Workers in
the two largest regions of industry employment— the
Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic regions— averaged about
$4.75 an hour.
Workers in occupations selected to represent the various
manufacturing operations and worker skills in the industry
made up two-thirds of its work force. 3 Nationwide,
average hourly earnings ranged from a low of $4.05 an hour
for hand strippers to a high of $5.78 for maintenance
electricians. Most of the occupations were predominantly
staffed by men, who averaged $4.73 an hour— 18 percent
more than women, who were usually employed in the less
skilled jobs.
All of the workers studied were in establishments pro­
viding paid holidays and paid vacations after qualifying
periods of service. Typical provisions included 10 paid
holidays annually and 1 week of vacation pay after 1 year
of service, 2 weeks after 3 years, 3 weeks after 10 years,
and 4 weeks after 15 years. Virtually all workers were in
plants providing all or part of the cost of life, hospitaliza­
tion, surgical, and basic medical insurance. Retirement
pension plans in addition to Federal social security applied
tp seven-eighths of the work force.

Products. The corrugated and solid fiber box industry
produces boxes from stock consisting of two or more plies
of paperboard. Important products include corrugated and
solid fiberboard boxes, pads, partitions, display items,
pallets, single-face products, and corrugated sheets. Virtu­
ally all production workers covered by the study were in
establishments which produced boxes from paperboard
stock that included one ply of corrugated paper; a few
were in plants making boxes from uncorrugated paper
(solid fiber). Both types of boxes are usually shipped flat
and require assembling by the customer.
Nearly 80 percent of the industry’s workers were in
either corrugated or solid fiber plants reporting no sec­
ondary products, while 15 percent were employed by such
establishments manufacturing other than paperboard con­
tainers or boxes as secondary products. A small number of
corrugated or solid fiber plants reported manufacturing
other types of boxes as secondary products, usually solid
fiber or folding boxes.
About two-thirds of the workers were in establishments
owned by companies also operating plants producing paper
or paperboard for sale to others; about 5 percent were in
box plants owned by companies manufacturing paper or
paperboard for use only within the company; and the rest
were in plants not owned by a paper manufacturing
company.

Industry characteristics

Production processes. Printing, forming, and finishing are
among the major production processes in the industry.

Em ploym ent and location. Corrugated and solid fiber box
plants within the scope of the Bureau’s study (those with
at least 30 workers) employed 61,912 production and
related workers in March 1976. 4 Production employment
ranged from 3,400 in the Border States and the Middle
West to 18,700 in the Great Lakes region. The Middle
Atlantic region employed 12,400 workers; the Southeast,
8,900. (See appendix table A-l.) Among eight areas of
industry concentration studied separately, production worker
employment ranged from less than 1,000 in Jersey City
and Newark to 4,600 in Chicago.
Slightly more than four-fifths of the industry’s produc­
tion work force was located in metropolitan areas. 5 Such
areas included over nine-tenths of the workers in the
Middle Atlantic, Border States, Southwest, and Pacific

See appendix A for scope and method of survey. Wage data in
this bulletin exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on
weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
For definition of regions, see appendix A, table A-l,
footnote 1.
See appendix B for job descriptions.
The Bureau 1970 survey of the industry also covered smaller
box plants— those with 20-29 workers. The 1970 and 1976 survey
results are, thus, not strictly comparable; however, the omission of
this size firm (employing about 4 percent of the industry's work
force) is unlikely to significantly affect overall trends. See Industry
Wage Survey: Paperboard Containers and Boxes, Part III, March 1970,

Bulletin 1719 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1971).
Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas, as defined by the
U.S. Office of Management and Budget through February 8, 1974.

Ninety-four percent of the production and related workers
were in plants performing all printing required; another 4
percent were in shops doing more than half of the nec­
essary printing. Corrugated box plants generally perform
relatively simple printing operations, involving presses print­
ing 1 to 3 colors.
Corrugated and solid fiber boxes are most often formed
by cylinder or platen die presses which stamp out the
shape and crease it along the lines to be folded. Finishing
operations include stapling or stitching, folding, and gluing.

Average hourly earnings

Straight-time earnings of production and related workers
covered by the survey averaged $4.65 an hour in March
1976 (table l ) . 6Workers in the Middle Atlantic and Great
Lakes regions, together constituting one-half of the work
force, averaged $4.75 and $4.74 an hour, respectively.
Regional averages ranged from $4.15 in the Southeast to
$5.62 in the Pacific region.
Workers in metropolitan areas averaged $4.68 an hour,
4 percent more than the $4.50 recorded for those in non­
metropolitan areas. This same relationship held in the South­
east and Great Lakes regions, the only regions where such
comparisons could be made. Among the eight metropolitan
areas surveyed separately, average hourly earnings ranged
from $4.66 in Newark to $5.53 in Los Angeles-Long
Beach (tables 7-14). Average earnings in Chicago— the
largest area surveyed, with 4,600 workers— were $4.71
an hour, approximately the same as in Milwaukee and St.
Louis. Workers in Philadelphia averaged $5.03 an hour; in
Jersey City, $5.09; and in New York, $5.23.
Employee earnings in plants employing 100 workers or
more averaged $4.80 an hour— 13 percent more than the
$4.25 recorded for workers in plants with 30 to 99 workers.
This nationwide pattern held in each of the six regions
where comparisons were made. The advantage for workers
in larger plants ranged from 5 percent in the Middle West
to 16 percent in the Pacific region.
Production workers in plants having labor-management
contracts covering a majority of their workers averaged
$4.76, compared with $3.94 in plants with none or a
minority covered by such agreements. Among the three
regions permitting comparison, hourly rates for union
establishments exceeded those in nonunion plants by 19
to 23 percent.

Size o f establishm ent Plants with 100 to 249 workers
employed nearly two-thirds of the production work force;
those with 30 to 99 workers employed one-fourth; and
those with 250 workers or more employed one-tenth.
(Establishments with fewer than 30 workers were excluded
from the survey.) The proportion of workers in plants with
at least 100 workers varied somewhat among the regions,
ranging from three-fifths in the Middle West to nearly fourfifths in the Southeast, Southwest, and Great Lakes regions.
Unionization. Establishments operating under collective
bargaining agreements covering a majority of their workers
employed seven-eighths of the industry’s work force. The
proportion of workers in plants having such coverage varied
somewhat among the regions— from three-fourths in the
Southeast region to slightly more than nine-tenths in the
Great Lakes region and the Middle West.
The major union in the industry is the United Paperworkers International Union, formed by a 1972 merger of
the United Papermakers and Paperworkers, and the Inter­
national Brotherhood of Pulp, Sulphite, and Paper Mill
Workers. Some establishments in the industry also had con­
tracts with the International Printing Pressmen and Assist­
ants of North America and the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, and Warehousemen of America
unions.

In March 1976, men averaged $4.73 an hour, compared
with $4.01 an hour for women. Among the regions, the
average wage advantage for men ranged from 9 percent in

Sex o f worker. Men made up nine-tenths of the production
work force, and constituted a majority of the workers in
virtually all of the production occupations selected for
separate study. Women were most often employed in the
cutting and creasing, and finishing departments.

6 Straight-time average hourly earnings of production workers
in this bulletin differ in concept from the gross average hourly
earnings ($5.01 in March 1976) published monthly in the Bureau
periodical Em ploym ent and Earnings. Unlike the latter, the estimate
presented here excludes premium pay for overtime and tor work
on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Average earnings are calcu­
lated by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing by the
number of individuals; in the monthly series, the sum of the hours
reported is divided into the reported payroll totals.
The estimate of the number of production workers within the
scope of the study is intended only as a general guide to the size
and composition of the labor force included in the survey, it
differs from those published in the monthly series (73,000 in
March 1976) in part because it excludes establishments employing
fewer than 30 workers. The advance planning necessary to make the
survey required the use of lists of establishments assembled con­
siderably in advance of data collection. Thus, establishments new
to the industry are omitted, as are establishments originally classi­
fied in the corrugated and solid fiber box industry, but found to be
in other industries at the time of the survey. Also omitted ere
corrugated and solid fiber box establishments classified incorrectly
in other industries at the time the lists were compiled.

M ethod o f wage payment. Three-fourths of the production
and related workers were paid time rates, usually under
formal plans providing single rates for specific occupations
(table 15). In New England, one-fifth of the workers were
covered by time-rate plans providing for determinations
based on an individual’s qualifications. Such plans covered
one-tenth of the workers in the Pacific region, and less than
5 percent in the others. The proportion of workers paid
under incentive systems— most commonly group bonus
plans— ranged from slightly more than one-third in the
Border States to less than one-tenth in the Pacific region,
among the eight regions reporting any incentive workers.

61,912 production and related workers within the scope
of the March 1976 survey. Among the jobs studied, aver­
age earnings ranged from $4.05 an hour for hand strippers
to $5.78 for maintenance electricians. Bundlers-packers,
the largest occupation surveyed separately, averaged $4.26
an hour. Printer-slotter-machine operators and their assist­
ants, together constituting one-tenth of the work force,
averaged $5 and $4.57 an hour respectively.
Occupational averages were by far the highest in the
Pacific region and generally lowest in the Southeast and
Border States, among the 28 occupations shown for all
eight regions. After eliminating the Pacific region from
comparisons, occupational averages generally were highest
in the Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic regions. Inter­
regional spreads for some numerically important occupa­
tions are presented in text table 1.
Occupational pay relationships within regions varied
across the country. For example, corrugator-combining
machine operators in the Southwest averaged 24 percent
more than folding- and gluing-machine operators, whereas
the corresponding spread in the Pacific region was 9 per­
cent. Similarly, the average wage advantage of corrugatorcombining machine operators over stitcher operators ranged
from 14 percent in the Middle West to 25 percent in the
Pacific.
Workers in plants with at least 100 workers typically
averaged between 6 and 12 percent more per hour than

the Border States ($4.30 compared with $3.93) to 31 per­
cent in New England ($4.39 and $3.35). Differences in pay
for men and women may result from several factors, in­
cluding variations in the distribution of the sexes among
jobs with disparate pay levels. For example, women were
most often employed in the comparatively low-wage cutting
and creasing or finishing departments and seldom in the
relatively high-wage maintenance or corrugating occupations.
The differences in averages between sexes in the same job
and location also may reflect minor variations in duties. Job
descriptions in wage surveys usually are more generalized
than those used in individual establishments.
Earnings of about 95 percent of the production workers
fell within a range of $3 to $7 an hour (table 2). Earnings of
the middle 50 percent of the workers were between $4.05
and $5.19 an hour. Six percent of all men and 27 percent of
all women earned less than $3.50 an hour. Above $5.50
an hour, the corresponding proportions were 17 and 3
percent. The proportion of workers at the lower and upper
ends of the earnings array also varied by region.
Occupational earnings

Occupations for which wage data are presented in table
3 were selected to represent the full spectrum of activities
performed by production workers in the industry. These
jobs accounted for slightly more than two-thirds of the

those in plants with fewer than 100 workers (table 4). The
wage advantage in larger plants varied somewhat by region
and occupation. For example, in the Great Lakes region,
roll supply workers in larger plants averaged 5 percent an
hour more than their counterparts in smaller establishments;
the corresponding advantage for cutting- and creasing-press
operators was 17 percent. In the Middle Atlantic region,
corresponding differentials were 12 and 2 percent.
Nationwide, occupational averages were generally 10 to
20 percent higher for incentive-paid workers than for
time-rated workers in the same occupation (table 5). This
relationship generally held in the regions where earnings
of time- and incentive-rated workers were compared.
Job averages generally were higher in plants having
collective bargaining agreements covering a majority of
their production workers than in plants without such
coverage (table 6). Nationwide, union workers typically
averaged between 10 and 25 percent more per hour than
their nonunion counterparts. This nationwide pattern held
among the regions where such comparisons were made.
Earnings of individual workers varied somewhat within
the same job and geographic area (tables 7-14). Frequently,
hourly earnings of the highest paid workers exceeded those
of the lowest paid in the same job and area by $1.50 or
more. Thus, a number of workers in comparatively lowpaying jobs earned as much as or more than some workers in
jobs with significantly higher hourly averages. Text table 2
illustrates the overlap in earnings occurring betweenbundlerspackers and flexographic printer operators (who perform
both printing and fabricating operations) in Chicago.

Establishment practices and supplementary
wage provisions

For production workers, information also was obtained
on work schedules and shift differential provisions and
practices, and the incidence of selected supplementary
benefits including paid holidays and vacations; health,
insurance, and retirement plans; paid funeral and juryduty leave; and technological severance pay.
Scheduled weekly hours. Ninety-four percent of the pro­
duction workers had weekly schedules of 40 hours (table
16) . One-sixth of the workers in the New England and
Southeast regions, however, were scheduled to work more
than 40 hours.
S h ift differential provisions and practices. More than ninetenths of the production workers were in establishments
having formal pay provisions for late-shift work (table
17) . In March 1976, however, only three-tenths of the
workers were actually employed on second shifts and 5
percent on third shifts (table 18). All of these workers
received pay in addition to day-shift rates, commonly
10 cents an hour for second shifts and 15 cents for third
or other late shifts.
Paid holidays. All establishments visited provided paid
holidays, commonly 10 days annually, for production and
related workers (table 19). The number of paid holidays
per year varied somewhat among the regions. For ex­
ample, one-sixth of the workers in the Southeast and
Southwest regions received 8 days or fewer while nearly
three-fifths in the Pacific region and three-tenths in New
England received 12 days. An additional one-tenth of the
workers in New England were eligible for 13 or 14 days.

flexographic printer operators, Chicago area, March 1976

Paid vacations. All production workers covered by the sur­
vey received paid vacations after qualifying periods of
service (table 20). The most common pattern was 1 week
after 1 year of employment, 2 weeks after 3 years, 3 weeks
after 10 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. A majority of
the workers in 5 regions were eligible for 5 weeks of vaca­
tion or more after 25 years of service. Vacation provisions
were generally more liberal in the Pacific than in the other
regions.

Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Virtually all work­
ers were covered by basic life, hospitalization, surgical, and
medical insurance, and at least nine-tenths by accidental
death and dismemberment clauses and major medical in­
surance (table 21). Sickness and accident insurance applied
to four-fifths of the production workers nationwide while
formal sick leave plans applied to less than one-tenth. An
exception to this pattern occurred in the Pacific region
where three-tenths of the workers received sickness and
accident insurance and seven-tenths were eligible for full
4

or partial sick pay during absence from work due to illness.
Insurance plans usually were financed wholly by the em­
ployer rather then by joint employer-employee contribu­
tions. Ih e incidence of these plans varied somewhat by
region.
Retirement pension plans, in addition to Federal social
security, were available to seven-eighths of the production
workers. These plans were most often actuarially funded




5

rather than based on profits. Retirement severance plans
were not common in the industry.
Other selected benefits. Provisions for pay while serving
as a juror or while attending funerals of specified family
members were reported by establishments employing slightly
more than nine-tenths of the production workers (table
22). Technological severance pay, available to only 7 per­
cent of all production workers, was most often reported
in the Middle Atlantic, Southwest, and Middle West regions.

1 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. These surveys,
based on a representative sample of establishments, are designed to measure the level of occupational
earnings at a particular time. Thus, comparisons made with previous studies may not reflect expected wage
movements because of change in the sample composition, and shifts in employment among establishments
with different pay levels. Such shifts, for example, could decrease an occupational average, even though most
establishments increased wages between periods being compared.
3 Includes data for Mountain region in addition to those shown separately.
3 Includes data for establishments for which information for men and women separately was unavailable.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey

Scope of survey

The survey included establishments engaged primarily
in manufacturing corrugated and solid fiber boxes from pur­
chased paperboard of fiber stock (SIC 2653 as defined in the
1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual, prepared by the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget). Separate auxiliary units such as central offices
were excluded.
Establishments studied were selected from those em­
ploying 30 workers or more at the time of reference of
the data used in compiling the universe lists. Table A-l
shows the number of establishments and workers esti­
mated to be within the scope of the survey, as well as
the number actually studied by the Bureau.

accuracy at a minimum cost, a greater proportion of
large than of small establishments was studied. In com­
bining the data, however, all establishments were given
an appropriate weight. All estimates are presented, there­
fore, as relating to all establishments in the industry, ex­
cluding only those below the minimum size at the time
of reference of the universe data.
Establishment definition

An establishment is defined for this study as a single
physical location where manufacturing operations are per­
formed. An establishment is not necessarily identical with
a company, which may consist of one establishment or
more.
Employment

Method of study

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 industry’s labor force, rather than as
precise measures of employment.

Data were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s
field staff to a representative sample of establishments
within the scope of the survey. To obtain appropriate

Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the
U.S. Office of Management and Budget through February
1974.
Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan Statis­
tical Area is defined as a county or group of contiguous
counties which contains at least one city of 50,000 in­
habitants or more. Counties contiguous to the one con­
taining such a city are included in a Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area if, according to certain criteria, they are
essentially metropolitan in character and are socially and
economically integrated with the central city. In New
England, where the city and town are administratively more
important than the county, they are the units used in
defining Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas.

Production workers

The terms “production workers” and “production and
related workers,” used interchangeably in this bulletin, in­
clude working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers
engaged in nonoffice activities. Administrative, executive,
professional, and technical personnel, office clerical work­
ers, and force-account construction employees, who are
used as a separate work force on the firm’s own properties,
are excluded.
Occupations selected for study

Occupational classification was based on a uniform set
of job descriptions designed to take account of interestab­
lishment and interarea variations in duties within the same
job. (See appendix B for these descriptions.) The criteria
for selection of the occupations were: The number of
workers in the occupation; the usefulness of the data in
collective bargaining; and appropriate representation of
the production worker job scale in the industry. Work­
ing supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees,
and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary
workers were not reported in the data for selected occupa­
tions but were included in the data for all production
workers.

Labor-management agreements

Separate wage data are presented, where possible, for
establishments that had (1) a majority of the production
workers covered by labor-management contracts, and (2)
none or a minority of the production workers covered by
labor-management contracts.
Method o f wage payment

Wage data

Information on wages relates to straight-time hourly
earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for
work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Incentive
payments, such as those resulting from piecework or
production bonus systems, and cost-of-living bonuses were
included as part of the workers’ regular pay. Nonproduc­
tion bonus payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses,
were excluded.
Average (mean) hourly rates or earnings for each occupa­
tion or category of workers, such as production workers,
were calculated by weighting each rate (or hourly earn­
ings) by the number of workers receiving the rate, total­
ing, and dividing by the number of individuals. The hourly
earnings of salaried workers were obtained by dividing
straight-time salary by normal rather than actual hours.
The median designates position; that is, one-half of the
employees surveyed received more than this rate and onehalf received less. The middle range is defined by two rates
of pay such that one-fourth of the employees earned less
than the lower of these rates and one-fourth earned more
than the higher rate.

Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to the
number of workers paid under the various time and in­
centive 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 quali­
fications of the individual worker* A single rate structure is
one in which the same rate is paid to all experienced work­
ers 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.)
An experienced worker occasionally may be paid above or
below the single rate for special reasons, but such pay­
ments are exceptions. Range-of-rate plans are those in
which wthe minimum, maximum, or both of these 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 combina­
tion of these. Incentive workers are classified under piece­
work or bonus plans. Piecework is work for which a pre­
determined rate is paid for each unit of output. Produc­
tion bonuses are for production in excess of a quota or for
completion of a task in less than standard time.

Size of community

Scheduled weekly hours

Tabulations by size of community pertain to metro­
politan and nonmetropolitan areas. The term “metro­
politan areas,” as used in this bulletin, refers to the

Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work
schedule for full-time production workers employed on the
day shift.

and New Jersey, where temporary disability insurance laws
require employer contributions,1 plans are included only
if the employer (1) contributes more than is legally re­
quired, or (2) provides the employees with benefits which
exceed the requirements of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to formal
plans which provide full pay or a proportion of the worker’s
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 wait­
ing period, and (2) plans providing either partial pay or a
waiting period.
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 a form of selfinsurance.
Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as ex­
tended medical or catastrophe insurance, includes plans
designed to cover employees for sickness or injury in­
volving an expense which exceeds the normal coverage
of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans
which provide regular payments for the remainder of the
retiree’s life. Data are presented separately for retirement
severance pay (one payment or several over a specified
period of time) made to employees on retirement. Estab­
lishments providing both retirement severance payments
and retirement pensions to employees were considered
as having both retirement pensions and retirement sev­
erance plans; however, establishments having optional plans
providing employees a choice of either retirement sev­
erance payments or pensions were considered as having
only retirement pension benefits.

Shift provisions relate to the policies of establishments
either currently operating late shifts or having formal pro­
visions covering late-shift work. Practices relate to workers
employed on late shifts at the time of the survey.

Supplementary benefits

Supplementary benefits in an establishment were con­
sidered applicable to all production workers if they applied
to half or more of such workers in the establishment.
Similarly, if fewer than half of the workers were covered,
the benefit was considered nonexistent in the establish­
ment. Because of length-of-service and other eligibility
requirements, the proportion of workers receiving the
benefits may be smaller than estimated.
Paid holidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to fullday and half-day holidays provided annually.
Paid vacations. The summaries of vacation plans are
limited to formal arrangements and exclude informal plans
whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of
the employer or 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
represent the most common practices, but they do not nec­
essarily reflect individual establishment provisions for pro­
gression. For example, changes in proportions indicated at
1 0 years of service may include changes which occurred
between 5 and 10 years.

Paid funeral and jury-duty leave. Data for paid funeral
and jury-duty leave relate to formal plans which provide
at least partial payment for time lost as a result of attend­
ing funerals of specified family members or serving as a
juror.

Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Data are pre­
sented for health, insurance, pension, and retirement sev­
erance plans for which the employer pays all or a part of
the cost, excluding programs required by law such as
workers’ compensation and social security. Among plans
included are those underwritten by a commercial in­
surance company and those paid 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
basis during illness or accident disability. Information is
presented for all such plans to which the employer con­
tributes at least a part of the cost. However, in New York




Technological severance pay. Data relate to formal
plans providing for payments to employees permanently
separated from the company because of a technological
change or plant closing.

The temporary disability insurance laws in California and
Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.

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 establish­
ment to establishment and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational
wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on inter­
establishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’s job des­
criptions 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 is instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees,
and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
