For a summary of the Bureau’s 1960 survey of earnings and supplementary benefits in hospitals in 15 selected
areas, see Earnings and Supplementary Benefits in Hospitals, M id -1960 (BLS Bulletin 1294, 1961). The 1960 sur
vey, in addition to short-term hospitals covered in the 1963 survey, also included long-term hospitals such as tuber
culosis and psychiatric hospitals which are usually operated by State or local governments. Increases in average earn
ings for the four occupations presented in this bulletin were computed after the averages for 1960 were adjusted to
exclude tuberculosis and psychiatric hospitals. Thirteen of the areas were defined the same for both surveys (Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas, except New York City which was lim ited to the 5 boroughs). The Chicago area, which
was lim ited to Cook County in 1960, covered the entire SMSA in 1963; the additional counties accounted for approxi
mately an eighth of the employment in private hospitals. The Philadelphia area was lim ited to Philadelphia and
Delaware Counties, Pa. , and Camden County, N. J. , in 1960, but expanded to the fu ll SMSA in 1963; nearly a fifth
of the employment in private hospitals was in the added counties.

1 Includes data for metropolitan areas in addition to those shown separately.
2 Percentage vacation payments were converted to an equivalent time basis.
Periods of service were arbitrarily chosen and do not necessarily reflect individual
sions for progressions. For example, changes in proportions indicated at 10 years may include changes in provisions occurring between 5 and 10 years.
3 Less than 0. 5 percent.
4 All of these employees were eligible for 4 weeks of vacation pay after 4 years of service.
5 Vacation provisions were virtually the same after longer periods of service.
6 58 percent of the employees were eligible for 3 weeks of vacation pay after 2 years of service.
