Preface
This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of wages and
supplementary benefits of nonsupervisory nonteaching employees in public and private
educational institutions, conducted in the spring of 1969. The wage data relate to payroll
periods in October 1968 and March 1969; information on supplementary wage provisions
relates only to the March 1969 period.
The survey was conducted at the request of the W age and Hour and Public Contracts
Divisions, U.S. Department of Labor, to facilitate the preparation of a report required
under Section 4 ( d ) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The report of the W age and Hour
and Public Contracts Divisions, submitted to Congress by the Secretary of Labor, ana­
lyzes the effects of the February 1, 1969, changes in minimum wage and maximum hours
standards for school employees, as provided in the 1966 amendments to the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
The study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of W ages and Industrial Relations.
The analysis in this bulletin was prepared by Charles M. O ’Connor in the Division of
Occupational W age Structures. 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.

Appendix. Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of survey

The survey included public and private elementary and secondary schools,
colleges, universities, professional schools, and junior colleges—industry groups
821 and 822 (and State and local government equivalents), as defined in the
1967 edition of the S ta n d a r d In d u stria l C la ss ific a tio n M a n u a l, prepared by the
U.S. Bureau of the Budget. Separate auxiliary units, such as administrative offices
of school districts, were also included. Excluded from the survey were university
or college hospitals;1 correspondence schools; vocational schools (except voca­
tional high schools); other nondegree granting schools; and all schools in Alaska
and Hawaii.
Schools selected for study were drawn from universe lists maintained by the
National Center for Educational Statistics, Office of Education, Department of
Health, Education, and Welfare. The number of schools and workers studied
by the Bureau, as well as the number estimated to be within scope of the survey
during the March 1969 payroll period studied, are shown in the accompanying
table.
Method of study

Data were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s field staff. The survey
was conducted on a sample basis. To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum
cost, a greater proportion of large rather than small schools was studied. In
combining the data, however, all schools were given their appropriate weight.
All estimates are presented, therefore, as relating to all schools within scope of
the survey.
School definition

The term “school,” as used in the tabulations of this report, refers to single
physical locations where prescribed educational services are provided, as well as
the total of such locations operated by an educational institution or a school
district. For private elementary and secondary schools and those above the high
school level, both private and public, the single physical location definition
generally applied. For public elementary and secondary schools, operating dis­
tricts as defined by State Boards of Education, were used. The terms “schools”
and “ educational institutions” have been used interchangeably in this report.
Employment

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 necessary to make the wage survey required the
use of lists of schools assembled considerably in advance of the payroll period
studied. Thus, schools which went into operation after the lists were compiled
are omitted, as are schools that were classified within the survey coverage but
found to be outside the scope of the study at the time of data collection.
1
University and college hospitals were included in a Bureau wage survey conducted in
private and State and local government hospitals in March 1969.

Nonsupervisory nonteaching employees
The term “ nonsupervisory nonteaching employees,” as used in this report,
includes working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers employed in noninstructional functions.

(Working supervisors are those spending 20 percent or

more of their time performing functions similar to those under their supervision.)
Excluded from the nonteaching category were members of religious orders;
teachers and other professional personnel (except registered professional nurses);
and administrative, executive, and technical employees. Also excluded were em­
ployees who were only provided perquisites, such as free room or meals, but
did not receive cash wages.
Separate information was also developed for five occupational groups:
1. “Custodial employees,” those primarily engaged in keeping buildings and
grounds in a neat and orderly manner, such as janitors, porters, cleaners, grounds­
men, guards, and watchmen.
2. “ Food service employees,” those primarily engaged in the preparation or
serving of food, such as cooks, kitchen helpers, dishwashers, counter attendants,
cashiers, and waiters and waitresses.
3. “ Office clerical employees,” those primarily engaged in clerical and related
work, such as stenographers, typists, file clerks, receptionists, library attendants
(not professional librarians), switchboard operators, and clerical aids.
classification excludes practical nurses and teachers’ classroom aids.

The

4. “ Skilled maintenance employees,” those primarily responsible for major
maintenance of buildings and equipment, as well as for the operation of power,
heating, and air-conditioning systems. The classification is limited to those
possessing skills acquired over a period of several years, such as carpenters, elec­
tricians, general utility maintenance men, and stationary engineers.

It excludes

workers primarily engaged in making simple repairs or assisting more qualified
maintenance workers.
5. “ Bus drivers,” workers primarily engaged in transporting pupils between
pickup points and schools. Individual contractors or their employees operating
buses for a school or school district were excluded from the survey.
The classifications above include all regularly employed workers, even though
their regular hours of work may have been less than those performing the same
type of work. Employees who worked at more than one type of function were
included in the category in which they usually spent the most time.

Wage data
Information on wages relates to straight-time hourly earnings, excluding
premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends and holidays. Premium
pay for late-shift work, if any, was included in the earnings for workers receiving
such payments.

Cost-of-living bonuses were included as part of the employee’s

regular pay, but the value of food, lodging, and payments, such as Christmas or
year-end bonuses, were excluded.
Average (mean) hourly earnings were obtained by multiplying individual hourly
earnings by weekly hours worked and dividing the sum of these products by total
weekly hours worked.

This method of computing average hourly earnings was

used because of the wide variations in individual weekly hours worked in edu­
cational institutions and such variations often are related to wide differences in




39

hourly earnings.

In the earnings distribution tables, however, workers were

distributed among specified earnings classes according to their individual hourly
rates.
The median earnings shown in the distribution tables designate position, that
is, one-half of the employees surveyed received more than this rate and one-half
received less. The middle ranges are defined by two rates of pay; one-fourth of
the employees earned less than the lower of the two rates specified and one-fourth
earned more than the higher rate.

Size of community
Tabulations by size of community pertain to metropolitan and nonmetropolitan
areas. The term “ metropolitan areas,” as used in this bulletin, refers to Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U.S. Bureau of the Budget through
January 1968.
Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area is defined as
a county or group of contiguous counties which contains at least one city of
5 0,000 inhabitants or more. Counties contiguous to the one containing 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, the city

and town are administratively more important than the county and they are the
units used in defining Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas for that region.

Weekly hours worked
Data refer to hours actually worked during a week of the payroll

period

studied, but include hours for sick leave, vacations, holidays, etc., paid for but
not worked.

Labor-management agreements
Data refer to percent of nonsupervisory employees in four broad occupational
categories (custodial, food service, office clerical, and skilled maintenance) in
schools with a majority of the workers covered by labor-management contracts.

Supplementary wage provisions
Supplementary wage benefits were treated statistically on the basis that if
formal provisions for supplementary benefits were applicable to one-half or
more of all the workers regularly employed in any of four broad occupational
groups (custodial, food service, office clerical, and skilled maintenance) in a
school, the benefits were considered applicable to all workers in that group.
Similarly, if fewer than one-half of the workers were covered, the benefits were
considered nonexistent.

Because of length-of-service and other eligibility re­

quirements, the proportion of workers receiving the benefits may be smaller
than estimated.
O v e r tim e p rem iu m p a y.

Data refer to overtime premium pay provisions for

( 1 ) daily overtime— work in excess of a specified number of hours a day, re­
gardless of the number of hours worked on previous days of the pay period and
(2 ) weekly overtime— work in excess of a specified number of hours per week,

40



regardless of the day on which it is performed, the number of hours per day, or
number of days worked.
Paid holidays.

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

provided annually. Employees of educational institutions, in some instances, are
granted time off with pay on days that are not normally recognized as holidays,
e.g., during the Christmas and spring or Easter school closings. These days were
generally counted as paid holidays for purposes of this survey, but nonrecurring
days off, such as snow leave, were not.
Paid vacations.

The summaries of vacation plans are limited to formal ar­

rangements, excluding informal plans whereby 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 pre­
sented represent 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 which occurred
between 5 and 10 years.
H ea lth , insurance, and p en sion plans. Data are presented for health, insurance,

and pension plans for which all or part of the cost is borne by the employer,
excluding 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 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 contributes at least a part of the cost. However, in New York and
New Jersey, where temporary disability insurance laws require employer con­
tributions,2 plans are included only if the employer ( 1 ) contributes more than is
legally required, 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 according to ( 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 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 self-insurance.
Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as major medical insurance, in­
cludes the plans designed to cover employees for sickness or injury involving
an expense which exceeds the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and
surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide regular
payment for the remainder of the retiree’s life.

2
The temporary disability insurance laws in California and Rhode Island do not require
employer contributions.
