Appendix A: Scope and Method of Survey

Scope of Survey
National and region al tabulations include data for estab lish m en ts employing four
w orkers or m ore and p rim a rily engaged in: (1) O perating m echanical laundries with ste am
or other pow er; (2) furnishing laundry se r v ic e , except power lau n d ries; (3) supplying laundered
linens, work clothing, or uniform s on a contract b a s is ; (4) supplying d iap e rs and other baby
linens to hom es, usually on a contract b a s is ; (5) renting home type laundry equipment for
use on the p r e m ise s; (6) dry cleaning or dyeing ap p arel and household fa b ric s other than
ru g s; and (7) cleaning or cleaning and repairin g rugs (industry group 721 as defined in the
1957 edition of the Standard In d u strial C la ssific a tio n M anual, p rep are d by the Bureau of
the Budget).
In o rd e r to perm it co m p arison s with data obtained in a sim ila r study conducted in
1961, however, tabulations for the selected m etropolitan a r e a s w ere lim ited to estab lish m en ts
employing 20 w orkers or m ore and p rim a rily engaged in: (1) O perating m echanical lau ndries
with ste am or other power (industry 7211); (2) supplying laundered linens, work clothing, or
uniform s on a contract b a sis (industry 7213); (3) dry cleaning or dyeing apparel and h ou se­
hold fa b r ic s, other than ru g s (industry 7216); and (4) cleaning or cleaning and repairin g
rugs (industry 7217).
However, occupational data in the curren t study w ere furth er lim ited by the e x ­
clusion of estab lish m en ts p rim a rily engaged in cleaning or cleaning and repairin g rugs
(industry 7217).
The number of estab lish m en ts and w orkers actually studied by the Bureau, as well
a s the number estim ated to be within the scope of the survey during the payroll period
studied, are shown in the table on the next page.
Method of Study
Data w ere obtained by p erson al v isits of Bureau field econ om ists under the direction
of the B u reau 's A ssista n t R egional D irecto rs for Wages and In du strial R elation s. The survey
w as conducted on a sam ple b a s is .
To obtain appropriate accu racy at minimum co st, a
g re a te r proportion of la rg e than of sm a ll estab lish m en ts w as studied. In combining the data,
however, all estab lish m en ts w ere given th eir appropriate weight. All e stim ates are p rese n te d ,
th e refo re, as relatin g to a ll estab lish m en ts in the in d u stries, excluding only those below the
m inim um size at the tim e of referen ce of the un iverse data.
Establish m en t Definition
An establish m en t, for the p u rp o ses of this study, is defined a s a single ph ysical lo ­
cation where b u sin ess is tra n sacted with the exception that se p a ra te sto re s or pickup station s
operated by an establish m en t are included a s part of that estab lish m en t. An establish m en t
is not n e c e ssa r ily identical with a b u sin ess concern or company which m ay co n sist of one or
m ore estab lish m en ts. Thus, if a company operated th ree lau n dries within the sam e a re a ,
each w as con sidered as a sep arate establish m en t.
Employment
The e stim ate s of the number of w ork ers within the scope of the study a re intended
a s a gen eral guide to the siz e and com position of the lab or fo rce included in the survey.
The advance planning n e c e ssa r y to m ake a wage survey re q u ire s the use of lis t s of e sta b ­
lish m ents a sse m b le d con sid erably in advance of the p ayroll period studied. Unlike the em ­
ployment e stim ates published in the B ureau of L ab or S ta tistic s monthly employment s e r ie s ,
the employment to tals in th is survey exclude w orkers in estab lish m en ts employing few er
than four.

N onsupervisory Employees
The te r m ‘‘nonsupervisory em p loyees” includes working foremen and all n on super­
viso ry w orkers (plant and office), except routemen ( d r iv e r - s a le s m e n ) . Adm inistrative,
executive, p rofession al, and technical employees were also excluded.
Inside Plant W orkers. The te r m “inside plant w orkers, “ as used in this bulletin,
includes working forem en and all nonsupervisory w orkers engaged in nonoffice functions,
except routemen (d r iv e r -sa le sm e n ).
Included are w orkers engaged in such operations as
dry cleaning, washing, p ressin g , e t c ., and w orkers at sep arate sto r e s or pickup stations.
Office W orkers. The te r m “office w orkers, “ as used in this bulletin, includes all
nonsupervisory office w orkers.
Occupations Selected for Study
Occupational classificatio n was based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed
to take account of inter establishment and in te ra re a variations in duties within the sam e job.
(See appendix B for these d e sc r ip tio n s.) The occupations were chosen for their num erical
importance, their usefuln ess in collective bargaining, or their re pre sen tative n ess of the
entire job scale in the industry.
Working su p e rv is o r s , apprentices, l e a r n e r s , beginners,
tr a in e e s, handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers were not reported
in the selected occupations but were included in the data for all inside plant w orkers.
Wage Data
The wage information re la te s to average straight-tim e hourly earnings, excluding
prem ium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Incentive
payments, such as those resulting from piecework or production bonus sy stem s and c o st-o fliving bonuses were included as part of the w o r k e r s 1 regu lar pay; but nonproduction bonus
payments, such as C h ristm as or yearend bonuses, were excluded. The hourly earnings of
sa la r ie d w orkers were obtained by dividing their straight-tim e s a la r y by norm al rather than
actual h o u r s . 8
Com parison With Other S tatistics
The straight-tim e hourly earnings presented in this bulletin differ in concept fro m
the g r o s s average earnings published in the B u reau 's monthly hours and earnings s e r i e s .
Unlike the latter, the a v e rag e s presented here exclude prem ium pay for overtime and for
work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts and were calculated by summing individual
hourly earnings and dividing by the number of individuals. In the monthly s e r ie s , the sum
of the man-hour totals reported by establishm ents in the industry was divided into the r e ­
ported payroll totals.
Size of Community
Tabulations by size of community pertain to metropolitan and nonmetropolitan a r e a s .
The te r m “metropolitan area, “ as used in this bulletin, r e fe r s to the Standard Metropolitan
S tatistical A r e a s as defined by the Bureau of the Budget in 1961.
Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea is defined as a

Establishm ent P r a c tic e s and Supplementary Wage P rovisions
Supplementary benefits and p ra ctice s were treated sta tistica lly on the b a s is that if
form al provisions for supplementary benefits and p ra c tic e s were applicable to half or more
of the inside plant w orkers in an establishment, the p ra c tic e s or benefits were considered
applicable to all such w orkers. S im ilarly, if fewer than half of the w orkers were covered,
the practice or benefit was considered nonexistent in the establishm ent. Because of lengtho f-se r v ic e and other eligibility requirem ents, the proportion of w orkers receiving the benefits
may be sm a lle r than estim ated.
Because of rounding, sum s of individual item s may not
equal totals.
Scheduled Weekly H o u rs. Data re fer to the predominant work schedule for fu ll­
time inside plant w orkers employed on the day shift.
Paid Holidays.
provided annually.

Paid V acation s. The su m m a rie s of vacation plans are limited to form al a r r a n g e ­
ments, excluding informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of
the employer or the su p e rv iso r.
Payments not on a time b a s is were converted; for e x ­
ample, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered the equivalent of 1 week’ s
pay. The periods of se r v ic e for which data are presented were selected as representative
of the most common p r a c tic e s but they do not n e c e s s a r ily reflect individual establishm ent
provisions for p ro g re ssio n . F o r example, the changes in proportions indicated at 10 y e a rs
of serv ice may include changes which occurred between 5 and 10 y e a r s .
Health, Insurance, and Pension P lan s.
Data are presented for health, insurance,
and pension plans for which all or a part of the cost is borne by the employer.
Legally
required plans, such as workm en’ s compensation and social security, were excluded; how­
ever, those plans required by State tem p orary disability insurance laws were included if
financed at lea st in part by the employer. Among the plans included are those underwritten
by a co m m e rcial insurance company and those paid directly by the employer fro m his current
operating funds or fro m a fund set aside for this purpose.
Death benefits are included as a form of life insurance. Sickness and accident in ­
surance is limited to that type of insurance under which predeterm ined cash payments are
made directly to the insured on a weekly or monthly b a s is during illn e ss or accident d i s a ­
bility. Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes at
lea st part of the cost.
Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to fo rm al plans which provide full
pay or a proportion of the w o r k e r ’ s pay during absence from work because of illn e ss; in ­
form al arran gem en ts have been omitted.
Separate tabulations are provided according to
(l) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period and (2) plans providing either p artial
pay or a waiting period.
Medical insurance r e fe r s to plans providing for complete or p a rtia l payment of
d o c to r s ’ fe e s .
Such plans may be underwritten by a co m m e rcia l insurance company or a
nonprofit organization, or they may be self-in sured.
Catastrophe insurance, som etim es r e fe r r e d to as extended m edical insurance, in ­
cludes the plans designed to cover employees in ca se of sick n e ss or injury involving an e x ­
pense which goes beyond the norm al coverage of hospitalization, m edical, and su rg ica l plans.
Tabulations of retirem ent pensions a re limited to plans which provide on retirem ent
