In October and November 1963, several of the large southern cotton textile companies granted wage increases,
estimated at 5 percent. These increases are not reflected in this bulletin since it provides data relating to a May 1963

12 A comparison of occupational pay relationships between yarn and integrated mills in the Southeast indicated
that workers in selected jobs in integrated mills averaged 10 cents an hour more, as a group, than their counterparts
in yarn mills. This was determined by multiplying the average earnings for the occupations shown for both types of
mills in table 13 by the respective occupational employments in integrated mills, and dividing the sums of these prod­
ucts by the total of the employment factors. The wage advantage held by workers in integrated mills amounted to
11 cents for men and 8 cents for women.

The three b a sic types of m ills producing cotton tex tile s w ere included— yarn, w eav­
ing, and in tegrated m ills . Yarn m ills p r o c e ss raw cotton into finished y arn s, p rim a rily for
use in weaving and knitting fa b r ic s; weaving m ills pu rch ase yarn and weave it into fa b r ic s;
and in tegrated m ills are a combination of the fir s t two ty pes, p ro c e ssin g raw cotton into
yarn and then weaving it into cloth.
A few cotton textile m ills operate departm ents engaged in bleaching, cloth dyeing
and finishing, and fabricatio n (including sh e e ts, p illo w c a se s, blanket binding, cu rtain s, and
d r a p e r ie s). W orkers in these departm ents are included in total em ploym ent e stim ates and
in the tabulations of supplem entary benefits and estab lish m en t p ra c tic e s (except minimum
ra te s).
D ata for these w orkers are excluded from tab les 1 through 9 and are provided s e p ­
a rate ly in table 10.
Method of Study
D ata w ere obtained by p erso n al v isits of B u reau field eco n o m ists, under the d ir e c ­
tion of the B u re a u ’ s A ssista n t R egional D irecto rs for W ages and In du strial R elation s.
The
su rv ey w as conducted on a sam ple b a s is .
To obtain appropriate a ccu racy at minimum co st,
a g re a te r proportion of larg e than of sm all estab lish m en ts was studied. In combining the
data, how ever, all estab lish m en ts w ere given their appropriate weight. All e stim ate s are
p resen ted , th erefo re, as relatin g to all estab lish m en ts in the in d u strie s, excluding only those
below the m inimum siz e at the tim e of referen ce of the u n iverse data.
E stab lish m en t Definition
An estab lish m en t, for p u rp o ses of this study, is defined as a sin gle p h y sical lo c a ­
tion where in d u strial operations are p erform ed . An estab lish m en t is not n e c e s s a r ily iden ­
tic a l with the company, which m ay co n sist of one or m ore estab lish m en ts.
Em ploym ent
The e stim ate s of the number of w orkers within the scope of the study are intended
as a gen e ral guide to the size and com position of the labor force included in the su rvey.
The advance planning n e c e ssa r y to make a wage su rvey re q u ire s the use of lis t s of e s t a b ­
lish m ents asse m b le d con sid erably in advance of the p ay ro ll period studied.
Production W orkers
The term "production w o r k e r s ," as used in this bulletin, includes working forem en
and a ll n on su p ervisory w ork ers engaged in nonoffice functions. A dm in istrativ e, executive,
p r o fe ssio n a l, and technical p erson n el and fo rce-accou n t construction em ployees, who w ere
utilized as a sep arate work fo rce on the fir m fs own p ro p e rtie s, w ere excluded.
Office W orkers
The term "o ffice w o rk e rs, " as used in this bulletin, includes all n on supervisory
office w orkers and excludes ad m in istrativ e, executive, p ro fe ssio n a l, and technical em ployees.
Occupations Selected fo r Study
The occupational c la ssific a tio n w as b a sed on a uniform se t of job d escriptio n s d e ­
signed to take account of in terestab lish m en t and in te ra re a variatio n s in duties within the
sam e job.
(See appendix B for these job d e scrip tio n s. ) The occupations w ere chosen for
their n um erical im portance, their u sefu ln ess in collective bargain in g, or their re p re se n ta ­
tiven ess of the entire job sc a le in the industry. Working su p e rv is o r s , ap p ren tices, le a r n ­

w ere not repo rted in the data for selecte d occupations, but w ere included in the data for all
production w o rk ers.
Wage Data
The wage inform ation re la te s to average straig h t-tim e hourly earn in gs, excluding
prem ium pay for overtim e and for w ork on w eekends, h olidays, and late sh ifts. Incentive

paym ents, such as those resu ltin g from piecew ork or production bonus sy ste m s and c o st-o fliving b o n u ses, w ere included as p a rt of the w o rk e rs’ re g u lar pay; but nonproduction bonus
paym ents, such as C h ristm a s or yearend bon u ses, w ere excluded.
The hourly earn in gs of
sa la rie d w orkers w ere obtained by dividing straig h t-tim e s a la r y by n orm al rath er than a c ­
tual h ours. 15
Size of Community
T abulations by siz e of community pertain to m etropolitan and nonm etropolitan a r e a s .
The term ’’m etropolitan a re a , " as used in this bulletin, r e fe r s to the Standard M etropolitan
S ta tistic a l A r e a s, as defined by the B u reau of the Budget in 1961.
E xcept in New England, a Standard M etropolitan S ta tistic a l A rea is defined as a
county or group of contiguous counties which contains at le a st one city of 50, 000 inhabitants
or m ore.
Contiguous counties to the one containing such a city are included in a Standard
M etropolitan S ta tistic a l A rea if, according to certain c r ite ria , they are e sse n tia lly m e tro ­
politan in ch a rac te r and are so c ially and econom ically in tegrated with the cen tral city. In
New England, where the city and town are ad m in istrativ ely m ore im portant than the county,
they are the units used in defining Standard M etropolitan S ta tistic a l A re a s.
C arded and Combed Yarn
Sep arate data are p resen ted according to the predom inant type of yarn— carded or
combed— spun or woven. C arded yarn s contain a m ixture of long and short fib e rs and are
used in the weaving of medium and c o a rse fa b r ic s. Combed yarns are c h a rac te riz ed by the
rem oval of the sh o rte r fib e rs and the straightening of fib e rs so as to yield g re a te r un iform ­
ity, strength, and sm ooth n ess.
These yarn s are woven into fine goods such as p e rc ale
sheetings and org an d ies.

fo rm al p rov ision s for supplem entary benefits and p ra c tic e s w ere applicable to half or m ore
of the production w orkers (or office w ork ers) in an estab lish m en t, the p ra c tic e s or benefits
w ere co n sid ered applicable to all such w o rk e rs. S im ila rly , if few er than half of the w ork­

Average hourly rates or earnings for each occupation or other groups of workers such as men, women, or production workers
were obtained by weighting each rate (or hourly earnings) by the number of workers receiving the rate.
