1 See appendix A for scope and method of survey. Wage data contained in this bulletin exclude premium pay
for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
This survey corresponds in scope with a similar survey conducted in June 1963} for results of the earlier survey,
see Industry Wage Survey: Laundries and Cleaning Services. June 1963 (BLS Bulletin 1401, 1964). The published
estimate of the number of nonsupervisory employees (except routemen) covered by the 1963 survey was overstated by
nearly 30, 000; the degree of overstatement varying among the regions.
2 For ease of reading, the term "plant workers" in this and subsequent statements is used to refer to inside
plant workers as defined in appendix A.
3 Most laundry and drycleaning services establishments were not covered by the Federal minimum wage law at
the time of the survey reference date. The Fair Labor Standards Amendments of 1966, effective Feb. 1, 1967, ex­
tended general coverage of the act to all employees in laundry and drycleaning enterprises. It provides that newly
covered employees must be paid not less than $1 an hour beginning Feb. 1, 1967, and that the minimum wage be
increased 15 cents an hour each year thereafter until Feb. 1, 1971, when the minimum will be $1.60.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of Survey
The survey covered establishments primarily engaged in: (1) Operating mechanical
laundries with steam or other power; (2) furnishing laundry service, except power laundries;
(3) supplying laundered linens, work clothing, or uniforms on a contract basis; (4) supplying
diapers and other baby linens to homes, usually on a contract basis; (5) renting home type
laundry equipment for use on the prem ises; (6) drycleaning or dyeing apparel and household
fabrics other than rugs; and (7) cleaning or cleaning and repairing rugs (industry group
721 as defined in the 1957 edition and 1963 Supplement of the Standard Industrial C lassifica­
tion Manual, prepared by the U .S. Bureau of the Budget).
The establishments studied were selected from those employing four workers or more
at the time of reference of the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The scope of the current survey corresponds with that of a similar survey conducted
in June 1963, as far as national and regional tabulations are concerned.10 This general
correspondence does not, however, apply to data for individual areas. Area tabulations for
the current survey relate to all establishments as previously defined; those for the 1963 sur­
vey exclude all establishments with fewer than 20 workers; the tabulations also exclude those
primarily engaged in furnishing laundry service, except power laundries; supplying diapers
and other baby linens; and renting home type laundry equipment for use on the prem ises.
The number of establishments and workers actually studied by the Bureau, as well as
the number estimated to be within scope of the current survey, are shown in the table on
the following page.
Method of Study
Data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists under the direction of
the Bureau's Assistant Regional Directors for Wages and Industrial Relations. 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 pre­
sented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industries, excluding only those
below the minimum size at the time of reference of the universe data.
Payroll Period
Data collection extended over a period of several months in m id -1966.
Information
for the majority of the establishments visited relate to a payroll period in May, June, or
July.
The most common payroll period for the selected areas is indicated on the individ­
ual tabulations.
Establishment Definition
An establishment, for the purposes of this study, is defined as a single physical loca­
tion where business is transacted with the exception that separate stores or pickup stations
operated by an establishment are included as part of that establishment. An establishment
is not necessarily identical with a business concern or company which may consist of one
establishment or more. Thus, if a company operated three laundries within the same area,
each was considered as a separate establishment.
Employment
The estimate of the total number of workers within scope of the study is intended only
as a general guide to the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey.
It differs from the number published in the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly employment
and earnings series because of the exclusion of establishments employing fewer than four

workers, and the advance planning necessary to make the survey requires the use of e s ­
tablishment lists assembled considerably in advance of data collection.
Thus, establish­
ments new to the industry are omitted, as are establishments originally classified in the
laundry and cleaning services industry, but found to be in other industries at the time of the
survey.
Also omitted are laundry and cleaning services establishments that are incorrectly
classified in other industries at the time the lists were compiled.
Definition of Terms
Regions.
The regions used in the study are: Northeast— Connecticut, Maine, M assa­
chusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont;
South— Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maryland, M ississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee,
Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia; North Central— Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin; and
West— Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah,
Washington, and Wyoming.
Alaska and Hawaii were not included in the survey.
Size of Community.
Tabulations by size of community pertain to metropolitan and
nonmetropolitan areas.
The term “metropolitan area, “ as used in this bulletin, refers to
the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area as defined by the Bureau of the Budget as of
March 1965.
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 m etro­
politan 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 the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Selected A rea s.
These areas were metropolitan areas as defined above.
through 57 for definition.

See tables 7

Nonsupervisory Employees.
The term “nonsupervisory employees" includes working
foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (plant and office), except routemen (driver-salesm en).
Administrative, executive, professional, and technical employees are also excluded.
Inside Plant W orkers.
The term “inside plant workers" as used in this report, in­
cludes working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers engaged in nonoffice functions, ex­
cept routemen (driver-salesm en).
Included are employees engaged in such operations as
drycleaning, washing, pressing, etc. , and workers at separate stores or pickup stations.
Office Workers.
The term “office w orkers" as used in this report, includes all non­
supervisory office workers.
Earnings.
The earnings information relates to average straight-time hourly earnings,
excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
Incentive payments, such as those resulting from piecework or production bonus systems
and cost-of-living bonuses, were included as part of the workers' regular pay; nonproduc­
tion bonus payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.
The hourly
earnings of salaried workers were obtained by dividing their straight-time salary by the
corresponding hours of w o rk .1
1
Scheduled Weekly Hours. Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work sched­
ule for full-tim e inside plant workers employed on the day shift.
Weekly Hours Worked. Data refer to the hours actually worked during the week of the
payroll period studied and included hours paid for vacations, holidays, sick leave, etc.

11 Group average hourly rates or earnings were obtained by weighting each rate (or hourly earnings) by the number o f workers
receiving the rate.




109
Supplementary Wage Provisions
Supplementary benefits were treated statistically on the basis that if formal provisions
were applicable to half or more of the inside plant 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.
Be­
cause of length-of-service and other eligibility requirements, the proportion of workers re ­
ceiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated.
Overtime Premium Pay.
Data for daily overtime refer to work in excess of a speci­
fied number of hours a day, regardless of the number of hours worked on previous days of
the pay period. Weekly overtime refers to work in excess of a specified number of hours
per week, regardless of the day on which it is performed, the number of hours per day,
or the number of days worked.
Paid Holidays.
vided annually.

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

Paid Vacations.
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 em ­
ployer 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 necessarily reflect individual provisions for pro­
gression.
For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 10 years of service in­
clude changes in provisions which may have occurred between 5 and 10 years.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans. Data are presented for selected health, insur­
ance, and pension plans for which all or a part of the cost is borne by the employer. P ro ­
grams required by law, such as workmen's compensation and social security were excluded.
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 in­
surance 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 disa­
bility.
Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes at
least part of the cost. However, in New York and New Jersey, where temporary disability
insurance laws require employer contributions, 12 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; in­
formal 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 the benefits may be paid by the employer from current operating funds or
from a fund set aside for this purpose.
Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as extended medical insurance, includes
plans designed to cover employees in case of sickness or injury involving an expense which
goes beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement plans are limited to formal plans which provide regular pay­
ments on retirement for the remainder of the worker's life.

12




The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require em ployer contributions.

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 permits the grouping of o c­
cupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
Because of this emphasis on inter establishment and inter area 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 economists are instructed to exclude working super­
visors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handi­
capped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
