The .remainder were in establishments primarily manufacturing plastics materials, synthetic resins, and nonvulcanizable elastomers (48,085 workers-an increase of 19 percent since the previous study). Nearly all of the establishments visited in the survey reported either no secondary products manufactured or the manufacture of secondary products which were also classifiable in the chemicals and allied products group. Sum m ary Straight-time earnings of production and related workers (virtually all men) in plants manufacturing industrial chemicals averaged $4.10 an hour in June 1971.1 Slightly more than seven-tenths of the 171,762 production workers covered by the survey were in plants primarily manufacturing basic chemicals; they averaged $4.17 an hour compared with $3.93 for the remaining workers who were employed by manufacturers of plastics materials and synthetic resins. Among the eight regions studied separately, average hourly earnings* f&hged from $3.45 in New England to $4.50 in the Southwest. Workers in the Middle Atlantic region-largest in terms of employment—averaged $4 an hour. In three of the four regions permitting com parisons, workers in plants producing basic chemicals averaged more than their counterparts in plastics manu facturing. The lowest average earnings in the 10 areas of industry concentration studied separately were found in Newark and Jersey City ($3.85); the highest were in the Texas Gulf Coast area ($4.66) .2 Earnings also varied by size of community, size of establishment, labormangement contract status, and occupation. Among the jobs selected to represent the various skill levels of plantworkers, nationwide average hourly earnings ranged from $3.46 for janitors to $4.75 for instrument repairmen. Class A chemical operators, numerically the most important, averaged $4.42 an hour.3 Occupational averages in basic chemicals plants were typically higher than those in plastics materials plants. Virtually all plantworkers covered by the study were in establishments providing paid holidays, paid vaca tions, and at least part of the cost of retirement pension plans and various health insurance benefits. A majority of the workers were in establishments granting 9 or 10 paid holidays annually and 2 weeks of vacation pay after 1 year of service, 3 weeks after 5 years, 4 weeks after 15 years, and 5 weeks or more after 20 years. Location . About 80 percent of the workers in both industry sectors were concentrated in four regions—the Middle Atlantic (26 percent), the Southwest (23 percent), the Great Lakes (19 percent), and the Border States (14 percent). Basic chemicals manufacturing plants employed about 70 percent of the work force in both the Middle Atlantic and Border States, compared with 81 percent in the Southwest and 66 percent in the Great Lakes. The remainder of the workers in these four regions were employed in plants primarily manu facturing plastics materials. Nearly two-fifths of the production work force were employed in the 10 locations of industry concentration studied separately. The Texas Gulf Coast employed by far the largest number (21,628 workers), followed by Louisiana (11,185). The Charleston, W. Va.-Ohio and Philadelphia, Pa.—N.J., areas each employed about 6,700 workers. The other areas, in order of employment, were: Buffalo, N.Y. (5,404); Newark and Jersey City, N.J. (4,831); Detroit, Mich. (3,147); Chicago, 111. (2,974); * See appendix A for scope and method of survey. Wage data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late or other shifts. 2 For definitions of regions, see appendix A, table A-l, footnote 1; for definitions of areas, see footnote 1, tables 11 through 20. 3 See appendix B for job descriptions. Industry characteristics 4 See Industry Wage Survey: Industrial Chemicals, November 1965, Bulletin 1529 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, The 775 establishments within scope of the survey employed 171,762 production and related workers 1966). 1 T e x table 1.

San Francisco-Oakland, Calif. (2,054); and Los Angeles-Long Beach and Anaheim-Santa Ana—Garden Grove, Calif. (1,549). Establishments in metropolitan areas5 accounted for seven-tenths of the work force, nationally, and for a majority of the workers in 7 of the 8 regions. In the Southeast, about three-fifths were employed in the smaller communities. pared with 71 percent in plastics materials. In the four regions permitting comparisons, the corresponding percentages were: Middle Atlantic, 85 and 96 percent; Border States, 84 and 68 percent; Southwest, 80 and 39 percent; and Great Lakes, 89 and 78 percent. No single union was predominant in the industry. At the time of the survey, those affiliated with the AFL-CIO (primarily the International Chemical Workers Union and the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers International Union) represented a majority of the workers in the union establishments. The remainder of the workers in such establishments were represented by the International Union of District 50, Allied and Technical Workers of the United States and Canada (Ind.)7 and a number of other unaffiliated unions. Establishment size. Employment in individual establish ments studied ranged from 50 workers to over 2,500. Plants employing 500 workers or more accounted for three-fifths of the work force, nationwide, and for a majority of the workers in 4 of the 8 regions—Middle Atlantic (52 percent), Border States and Southwest (73 percent), and Middle West (78 percent). In basic chemicals manufacturing, plants employing 500 workers or more accounted for three-fifths of the workers, whereas in the plastics materials sector, the smaller size plants (50-499 workers) employed slightly more than one-half of the workers. M ethod o f wage paym ent. Virtually all workers covered by the study were paid time rates. Formal rate structure plans providing single rates for specific occupations covered two-thirds of the workers in the study, while ranges of rates applied to nearly all of the remainder. Single-rate systems were the predominant method of pay in 6 of the 8 regions; in New England and the Middle West, rate-range plans covered just over half of the workers. (See table 21.) Unionization. Plants operating under the terms of collective bargaining agreements employed nearly fourfifths of the industry’s production workers. This was somewhat more than the proportion estimated to be covered by such agreements in all manufacturing indus tries combined (three-fifths).6 As shown in text table 1, the proportions of workers in union establishments varied somewhat by region, and, within regions, by size of community and size of establishment. In basic chemicals manufacturing, the proportion of workers in union establishments was 82 percent, com 5 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget through January 1968. 6 See Employee Compensation in the Private Nonfarm Economy, 1968, Bulletin 1722 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1971). n In August 1972, this union merged with and became part of the United Steelworkers of America (AFL-CIO). 2 For the Nation as a whole, workers in establishments having labor-management contracts covering a majority of their production workers averaged $4.11 an hour— slightly more than the $4.08 in nonunion plants. This relationship was reversed, however, in 4 of the 6 regions permitting comparisons; workers in nonunion plants held wage advantages of 2 cents in the Southeast, 5 cents in the Great Lakes, 22 cents in the Southwest, and 30 cents an hour in the Border States. Variations in earnings may be due to the inter relationship of several factors noted earlier, such as unionization, type of product, size of community, and size of establishment. The survey did not isolate and measure the exact influence of any one of these characteristics as a determinant of wage levels or earnings relationships. Earnings of all but 2 percent of the workers were within a range of $2.50 to $5.50 an hour. Employees in the middle half of the array earned from $3.69 to $4.58 an hour. (See table 2.) In basic chemicals, the middle range of earnings was $3.78 to $4.64 an hour; in plastics materials, $3.53 to $4.31. (See tables 3 and 4.) Differences in the earnings distribution of workers in the two industry sectors are further illustrated in text table 2 . Average hourly earnings Earnings of the 171,762 production and related workers in industrial chemicals manufacturing plants covered by the study averaged $4.10 an hour in June 1971.8 (See table 1.) This level of earnings was 35 percent above the $3.04 recorded in November 1965,9 closely paralleling the rise, over the same period, for all manufacturing and the total private nonfarm economy (36 and 39 percent, respectively) .10 Workers in plants manufacturing basic chemicals (a little over seven-tenths of the total work force) averaged $4.17 an hour in June 1971, compared with $3.93 for the remaining workers employed by manufacturers of plastics materials and synthetic resins. Average annual rates of wage increases for these two industry sectors since the November 1965 survey were 5.5 percent in basic chemicals and 6.0 percent in plastics plants. Among the eight regions studied separately, overall wage levels were lowest in New England ($3.45 an hour), and highest in the Southwest, where workers averaged $4.50. In the Middle Atlantic region, the largest in terms of employment, earnings averaged $4 an hour. Workers in basic industrial chemicals plants averaged more than those in the plastics materials sector in 3 of the 4 regions permitting comparisons by type of product. The wage advantages were 5 cents in the Border States, 20 cents in the Great Lakes, and 32 cents in the Middle Atlantic. In the Southwest, however, this relationship was reversed workers in the plastics materials sector held a 13-cent wage advantage over their counterparts in basic chemi cals plants. Among the 10 locations of industry concentration for which data are shown in tables 11 —2 0 , wage levels ranged from $3.85 an hour in the Newark and Jersey City area to $4.66 in the Texas Gulf Coast area. Averages recorded for workers in Buffalo and Chicago ($4.09) were slightly below those in Philadelphia and San Francisco—Oakland ($4.12). In the other locations, averages were: $4.19 an hour in the Los Angeles—Long Beach area, $4.27 in Charleston (W. Va.-Ohio), $4.40 in Louisiana, and $4.50 in Detroit. Nationwide, workers in metropolitan areas earned more than those in smaller communities, averaging $4.17 an hour compared with $3.95. This relationship held in 4 of the 6 regions for which comparable data are shown. Plants employing 500 workers or more paid an average of $4.34 an hour-15 percent more than those employing 50-499 workers ($3.77). In all regions for which data are shown, averages were consistently higher for workers in the larger plants; wage advantages varied considerably, however, ranging from 7 cents in the Pacific to 99 cents in New England. 8 The straight-time average hourly earnings in this bulletin differ in concept from the gross average hourly earnings published in the Bureau’s monthly hours and earnings series. Unlike the latter, the estimates presented here exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late or other shifts. Average earnings were calculated by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing by the number of individuals; in the monthly series, the sum of the man-hour totals reported by establishments in the industry is divided into the reported payroll totals. Thus, the average published in this bulletin for the plastics materials industry (SIC 2821) is not comparable with the average ($4.08 in June 1971) provided in the monthly series. The estimate of the number of production workers within scope of the study (see appendix A) is intended only as a general guide to the size and composition of the labor force included in this survey. The number published in this bulletin for the plastics materials industry differs from the number reported in the monthly series (53,200 in June 1971) by the exclusion of establishments employing fewer than 50 workers; and by the fact that the advance planning necessary to make the survey required the use of lists of establishments assembled con siderably in advance of data collection. Thus, omitted are: (1) Establishments new to the industry; (2) establishments originally classified in the industry but found to be in others at the time of the survey; and (3) establishments manufacturing plastics materials, synthetic resins, or nonvulcanizable elastomers but classified incorrectly in other industries at the time the lists were compiled. 9 See Industrial Chemicals, November 1965. 10 Based on the Bureau’s Hourly Earnings Index. 3 Text table 2.

(See table 5.) Chemical operators11 and helpers, as a group, made up slightly more than one-third of the industry’s 171,762 production workers. Class A operators averaged $4.42 an hour, 9 percent more than class B operators ($4.07), and 19 percent more than operators’ helpers ($3.72). Skilled maintenance men accounted for an additional one-fifth of the work'force and averaged $4.56 an hour. Of the occupations studied separately within'this group, general mechanics (those skilled in more than one maintenance trade) were the largest category and averaged $4.48. Instrument repairmen was the highest paying occupation studied, at an average of $4.75 an hour, while janitors and material handling laborers were the lowest paid, at $3.46 and $3.49, respectively. Occupational wage relationships iu/industrial chemi cals' manufacturing remained relatively unchanged from those prevailing in 1965, despite the substantial gains in opay mentioned earlier. The average wage advantage held, by other workers over janitors, the lowest paid occupa tion studied, changed by 3 percent or less for 18 of 19 comparable survey jobs between November 196512 and June 1971. (See text table 3.) Staffing patterns were even more stable than wage relationships. For virtually all of the occupations, the share of the total work force varied by 1 percentage point or less over this period. At the time of the 1971 study, occupational averages usually were highest in the Southwest and Pacific regions and lowest in the Southeast and New England. In New England, averages commonly fell 9-16 percent below their nationwide levels, while in the Southwest, averages were usually 4—10 percent above the nationwide figures.

In the Middle Atlantic region, the averages were virtually identical. Nationwide, and in 3 of the 4 regions for which comparable data could be shown, occupational averages were typically higher for workers in basic chemicals plants than in establishments primarily manufacturing plastics materials and synthetic resins. (See tables 6 and 7.) Occupational data also were tabulated by size of community (table 8), size of establishment (table 9), and labor-management contract coverage (table 10). In the five regions for which comparable data could be shown, occupational averages were virtually always higher in plants employing 500 workers or more than in smaller establishments (50—499 workers). On the other hand, no consistent pattern of occupational earnings relation ships could be detected between metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas and between union and nonunion plants. Earnings of individual workers varied widely within the same job and geographic area. (See tables 11 -20.) In many instances, the highest hourly earnings exceeded the lowest in the same occupation and area by $1 or more. Thus, a number of workers in comparatively lowpaying jobs (as measured by the average for all workers) earned as much as or more than some workers in jobs for which significantly higher hourly averages were recorded. Text table 5 illustrates the overlap in earnings found in Louisiana between maintenance pipfitters and material handling laborers, despite a difference of more than $1 in the hourly averages for the two jobs. In some instances, however, earnings were concentrated within a comparatively narrow range. For example, in Charleston, W. Va.-Ohio, nearly three-fourths of the 1,747 class A chemical operators earned between $4.20 and $4.50 an hour. T e x t ta b le 5 .

(See table 26.) Typically, the employer paid the total cost of these benefits. Sickness and accident insurance applied to four-fifths of the work force, and slightly more than one-half were covered by formal sick leave plans. Accidental death and dis memberment insurance applied to three-fifths and major medical plans to three-fourths of the workers. For some of these plans, the incidence varied widely among the regions and areas studied. Foj example, accidental death and dismemberment insurance covered, about one-half of the workers or less in the Middle Atlantic, Southwest, and Middle West regions, compared with about four-fifths or more in the Southeast, Great Lakes, and Pacific regions. Retirement pension plans (other than Federal social security) were available to nearly all workers covered by the survey. Such plans provide regular payments for the remainder of the retiree’s life and were typically financed wholly by the employer. Provisions for lump sum payments bn retirement (severance pay) were virtually nonexistent in the industry. tion workers, including work schedules, shift dif ferentials, paid holidays, paid vacations, and specified health, insurance, and retirement plans. weekly hours and shift practices. Work schedules of 40 hours a week were predominant in establishments employing 93 percent of the production workers in June 1971. (See table 22.) Such schedules were in effect for about 85 percent or more of the workers in all regions, and for at least 90 percent of the workers in 9 of the 10 selected areas. Nearly one-half of the workers were assigned to rotating shifts, usually working on day, evening, and night schedules during successive weeks (table 23). Virtually all rotating-shift workers received differential pay over established day rates when employed on the evening or night shifts.13 The amount of the shift differentials varied considerably among establishments, but most commonly the range was 10 to 15 cents an hour for. evening schedules and 15 to 20 cents an hour for night schedules. Only 7 percent of the workers were employed on fixed evening or night shifts; many of these were maintenance workers. Scheduled Other selected benefits. Nearly all production workers were in plants having formal provisions for jury-duty pay and paid leave for attending funerals of specified family members. Technological severance pay provisions and supple mental unemployment benefits were available to about one-third and one-sixth of the workers', respectively. (See table 27.) Among the regions studied, technological severance pay was available to a majority of workers in only one region—the Border States. Supplemental unemployment benefits were most commonly available in the Middle West, where about 3 out of every 10 workers were covered by such provisions. Plants furnishing protective garments and/or monetary allowances for such garments to a majority of their workers employed seven-tenths of the work force, nationwide, and about that proportion or more in all but the Great Lakes and Southwest regions. • Provisions for perio<Jic cost-of-living pay adjustments (typically based on the BLS Consumer Price Index) were found in establishments * employing one-fifth of the industry’s workers. Regionally, the proportions of workers in plants with such provisions ranged from 8 percent in the Pacific to about 30 percent in the Middle Atlantic and Great Lakes States. All production workers covered by the survey were provided paid holidays. Establishments granting 9 or 10 paid holidays, annually, employed about two-thirds of the workers or more in each region. (See table 24.) The most liberal provisions in the industry were found in the Middle West region, where one-eighth of the work force received 11 days and a similar proportion was granted 13 paid holidays a year. Paid holidays. All establishments surveyed provided their production workers with paid vacations after qualifying periods of service. Typical vacation provisions for workers amounted to 2 weeks’ pay after 1 year of service, 3 weeks’ pay after 5 years, 4 weeks’ pay after 15 years, and 5 weeks’ pay or more after 20 years (table 25). Paid vacations. Vacation provisions, however, varied substantially by region, and even by area within the same region. To illustrate, 2 weeks’ pay after 1 year of service was available to three-fourths of the workers in the South west, compared with about one-half of the workers in the Middle Atlantic region. Within the latter region, provisions for 2 weeks’ pay after 1 year of service applied to three-fourths of the workers in Philadelphia; in the Newark and Jersey City area, a similar proportion was provided 1 week’s pay after 1 year. 13 Approximately 10 percent of the establishments covered by the study provided “around the clock” differentials for rotating shift work. In most of these establishments, all workers on rotating shifts received the same differential regardless of the shift; in the remainder, the differential varied according to the shift, with the lowest amount for day schedules and the highest for night schedules. Healthy insurance, and retirement plans. Life, hospitali zation, surgical, and medical insurance, financed at least in part by the employer, were provided by establish ments employing more than nine-tenths of the produc 6 Table 1.

Scope and Method of Survey Scope o f survey Em p lo ym en t The survey included establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing (1) basic industrial inorganic and organic chemicals, except industrial gases (industry group 281, except 2813) and (2) plastics materials, synthetic resins, and nonvulcanizable elastomers (industry 2821) as defined in the 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. Atomic energy contractor plants and separate auxiliary units, such as central offices and research laboratories, were excluded. The establishments studied were selected from those employing 50 workers or more at the time of reference of the data used in compiling the universe lists. The number of establishments and workers studied by the Bureau, as well as the number estimated to be within scope of the survey during the payroll period studied, are shown in table A -l. The estimates of the number of workers within 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 a wage survey requires the use of lists of establishments assembled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied. The term “ production workers,” as used in this bulletin, includes working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers engaged, in nonoffice functions,. Admin istrative, 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. M ethod o f study O ccupations selected for 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 than of small establishments was studied. In combining the data, however, all establishments were given their appropriate weight. All estimates 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. Occupational classification was based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment and interarea variations in duties within the same job. (See appendix B for these descrip tions.) The occupations were chosen for their numerical importance, their usefulness in collective bargaining, or their representativeness of the entire job scale in the industry. Working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers were not reported in the data for selected occupations, but were included in the data for all production workers. P roduction workers Establishm ent d efinition An establishment, for purposes of this study, is defined as a single physical location where industrial operations are performed. An establishment is not necessarily identical with the company, which may consist of one or more establishments. In this bulletin the terms “ plant” and “establishment” have been used interchangeably. Wage data Information on wages relates to straight-time hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late or other shifts. Incentive payments, such as those resulting from piece work or production bonus systems, and cost-of-living 40 Table A -1.

Alaska and Hawaii were not included in the study. 6 Includes establishments Charleston, W. V a .—Ohio area. in the Ohio portion of the bonuses were included as part of the workers’ regular pay, but nonproduction bonus payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded. Average (mean) hourly rates or earnings for each occupation or other group of workers, such as produc tion workers, were calculated by weighting each rate (or hourly earnings), by the number of workers receiving the rate, totaling, 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 receive more than this rate and one-half receive less. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay; one-fourth of the employees earn less than the lower of these rates and one-fourth earn more than the higher rate. Size o f co m m u n ity Tabulations by size of community pertain to metro politan and nonmetropolitan areas. The term “metro politan area,” as used in this bulletin, refers to the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and 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 50,000 inhabitants or more. Contiguous counties 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 Metro politan Statistical Areas. Labor-management agreements Separate wage data are presented, where possible, for establishments with (l)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. M ethod o f wage paym ent Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to the number of workers paid under the various time and incentive wage systems. Formal rate structures for 42 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 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. 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. Individual experienced workers may occasionally 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 maximum 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 various concepts of merit and length of service. Incentive workers are classified under piecework or bonus plans. Piecework is work for which a pre determined rate is paid for each unit of output. Production bonuses are based on production in excess of a quota or for completion of a job in less than standard time. Scheduled w eekly hours Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work schedule for full-time production workers employed on the day shift. Shift practices and differentials Data relate to shift practices of establishments during the payroll period studied and are presented in terms of the proportion of production workers actually employed under the conditions specified. Workers assigned to rotating shifts variously work on day, evening, and night shifts and workers assigned to fixed shifts regularly work on their assigned shifts. Supplem entary wage provisions Supplementary benefits were treated statistically on the basis that if formal provisions were applicable to half or more of the production workers in an establishment, the benefits were considered applicable to all such workers. Similarly, if fewer than one-half of the workers were covered, the 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. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day and half-day holidays provided annually. Paid holidays. 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 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 presented were selected as representative of the most common practices, but they do not necessary 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. Paid vacations. Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Data are presented for health, insurance, pension, and retirement severance plans for which all or a 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 under written 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 contributions,1 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 for (1) plans which provide full pay and n\> waiting period, and (2) plans providing either partial pay or a waiting period. Medical insurance refers to plans providing for com plete 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. 43 Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as extended medical insurance, includes the plans designed to cover employees for sickness or injury involving an expense which goes beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide, upon retirement, regular payments for the remainder of the retiree’s life. Data are presented separately for retirement severance pay (one payment or a specified number over a period of time) made to employees upon retirement. Establishments providing retirement severance payments and pensions to employees upon retirement were considered as having both retirement pension and retirement severance pay. Establishment having optional plans providing employees a choice of either retirement severance payments or pensions were considered as having only retirement pension benefits. Paid funeral and jury-duty leave. Data for paid funeral and jury-duty leave are limited to formal plans which provide at least partial payment for time lost as a result of attending funerals of specified family members or serving as a juror. Data relate to formal plans designed to supplement benefits paid under State unemployment insurance systems. Supplemental unem ploym ent benefits. Technological severance pay. Data relate to formal provisions for severance pay to workers permanently separated from employment as a result of force reduc tion arising out of the introduction of new equipment or from department or unit closings. Clothing allowance. Data relate to formal provisions for protective garments, such as aprons, smocks, and overalls, worn in lieu of or over the employees’ personal clothing; provisions for boots, gloves, hard hats, protec tive glasses, safety shoes, and other safety devices were excluded. Cost-of-living adjustments. Provisions for cost-of-living adjustments relate to formal plans whereby wage rates are increased periodically in keeping with changes in the BLS Consumer Price Index or on some other basis. 1 T h e te m p o r a r y d isa b ility in su ra n ce la w s in C a lifo r n ia an d R h o d e Islan d d o n o t re q u ire e m p lo y e r c o n t r ib u t io n s . 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 establishment to establishment and from area to area. This classification permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of the emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’s job descriptions 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 are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
