Appendix A:

Scope and Method of Survey

Scope of Survey
The survey included establishments primarily engaged in (1) operating mechanical
laundries with steam or other power; (2) supplying laundered linens, work clothing, or uniforms
on a contract basis; (3) dry cleaning or dyeing apparel and household fabrics other than rugs;
and (4) rug cleaning or rug cleaning and repairing (Industries 7211, 7213, 7216, and 7217,
respectively, as defined in the 1957 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual,
prepared by the U. S. Bureau of the Budget).
The establishments studied were selected from those employing 20 or more workers
at the time of reference of the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The number of establishments and workers actually studied by the Bureau, as well
as the number estimated to be in the industry during the payroll period studied, are shown
in the following table:

1 Standard Metropolitan Statistical areas as defined by the U.S. Bureau o f the Budget, except Chicago (Cook
County); Newark and Jersey City (E ssex, Hudson, M o rris, andUnion Counties); New York City (the 5 boroughs);
Philadelphia and Delaware Counties, P a ., and Camden County, N .J .).
2 Includes only establishments with 20 or m ore workers at the time o f referen ce o f the universe data.
3 Includes executive, professional, office cle rica l, and other workers excluded from the separate plant
employment category.

Method of Study
Data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists. The survey was
conducted on a sample basis. To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater
proportion of large than of sm all establishments was studied. In combining the data, however,
all establishments were given their appropriate weight.
A ll estimates in this report are
presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the four industries in the areas,
excluding only those below the minimum size at the time of reference of the universe data.




65

66

Establishment Definition
An establishment, for the purposes of this study, is defined as a single physical
location 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
estab­
lishment is not necessarily identical with a business concern or company which may consist
of one or m ore establishments. Thus, if a company operated three laundries within the same
area, each was considered as a separate establishment.
Employment
The 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 a wage survey compels the use of lists of estab­
lishments assembled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied.
Inside Plant Workers
The term "inside plant workers, " as used in this report, includes working foremen
and all nonsupervisory workers engaged in nonoffice functions, except routemen (driversalesmen).
Included are workers engaged in such operations as dry cleaning, washing,
pressing, etc. , and workers at separate stores or pickup stations.
Occupations Selected for Study
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 descriptions.) 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, handicapped workers, part-tim e or temporary workers, and probationary workers
were not reported in the data for selected occupations but were included in the data for all
inside plant workers.
Wage Data
The wage 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 costof-living bonuses, were included as part of the worker*s regular pay; but nonproduction 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 normal rather
than actual hours. 5
Weekly Hours
Data refer to the predominant work schedule for inside plant workers employed
on the day shift, regardless of sex.

Average hourly rates or earnings for each occupation or other group of workers,
such as men, women, or inside plant workers, were obtained by weighting each rate (or
hourly earning) by the number of workers receiving the rate.




Appendix B:

Occupational Descriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job descrip­
tions 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 estab­
lishment and from area to area.
This is essential in
order to permit the grouping of occupational wage rates
representing comparable job content. Because of this em ­
phasis on inter establishment and interarea comparability
of occupational content, the Bureau’ s job descriptions may
differ significantly from those in use in individual estab­
lishments or those prepared for other purposes. In apply­
ing these job descriptions, the Bureau’ s field economists
are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices,
learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-tim e,
temporary, and probationary workers.
