Industry Wage Survey---Machinery Manufacturing, March—May 1964
Summary
A verage straight-tim e hourly earnings of production w ork ers in the non
e le ctrica l m achinery manufacturing industries in creased 2. 7 percent between
M arch-M ay 1963 and M arch—May 1964, in 21 m etropolitan areas surveyed by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. 1
D etroit and San F ra n cisco—Oakland led in pay levels among the areas,
and tool and die m akers w ere the highest paid occupational group studied in m ost
areas, as in previous surveys.
Although provision s fo r paid holidays, paid vacations, various types of
health and insurance benefits and retirem ent pensions have been com m on in the
m cch in ery industries for a number of y ea rs, som e liberaliza tion has o ccu rre d
since the Bureau's study of these benefits in M arch—June 1962. 1

Industry C h a ra cteristics
M achinery (nonelectrical) manufacturing, as defined fo r purposes of this
study, includes establishm ents which may be grouped in nine general product
ca te g o rie s : Engines and turbines; farm m achinery and equipment; construction,
mining, and m aterial-handling m achinery and equipment; m etalworking m achinery
and equipment; special industry m achinery, except m etalw orking m achinery;
general industrial m achinery and equipment; office, computing, and accounting
m achines; s e rv ice industry m achines; and m iscellaneou s m achinery.
A wide variety of m achinery products was m anufactured in each area
studied.
However, in som e areas, one product group was predom inant; for
exam ple, m etalw orking m achinery and equipment in W orcester, and construction,
mining, and mate rial-handling m achinery in Houston.
The 21 areas studied accounted fo r alm ost tw o-fifths of the 1. 6 m illion
w ork ers in the N ation's n on electrical m achinery manufacturing in d u strie s.3 Total
em ploym ent within scope o f the survey in the 21 areas had in creased 7 percent
since the 1963 study, com pared with a nationwide in crea se of about 5 percent.
Em ploym ent had risen in 16 of the areas studied with a somewhat grea ter rate
o f in crea se in M inneapolis—St. Paul and the 3 West Coast cities, Los A n g e le s Long Beach, Portland, and San F ra n cisco—Oakland than in the other areas studied.
1 See appendix B for scope and method of survey and definition of production workers, as used in this study.
For definition o f areas and the payroll period studied in the respective areas, see table in appendix B.
2 Wages in the nonelectrical machinery manufacturing industries are studied each year as part of the Bureau's
program o f occupational wage surveys, but data on the prevalence o f supplementary wage benefits are collected on
a 2-year cycle. For a report on 1963 wages, see BLS Bulletin 1388 (1964) and for 1962 wage and supplementary
benefits data, see BLS Bulletin 1352 (1963).
3 Nationwide employment as reported in the Bureau's employment series. (See Employment and Earnings,
June 1964.)

In the individual areas, total employment in establishm ents within the
scope of the survey ranged from few er than 5, 000 in Denver and Portland to
alm ost 103, 000 in Chicago. 4 Other m ajor areas of em ploym ent included D etroit
(69, 365), Los A ngeles—Long Beach (55, 154), and Milwaukee (48, 287). Employment
a lso exceeded 30, 000 in Cleveland, H artford, Newark and J ersey City, New York, 5
and P h iladelphia;6 it was between 20, 000 and 30, 000 in Boston and M inneapolis—
St. Paul; between 10, 000 and 20, 000 in Buffalo, Houston, Pittsburgh, St. L ouis,
and San F ra n cisco —Oakland; and between 5, 000 and 10, 000 in B altim ore, D allas,
and W orcester.
A pproxim ately tw o-fifths of the w ork ers within the scope of the survey
w ere in establishm ents with few er than 250 w ork ers, a slightly la rg er p rop ortion
w ere in establishm ents with 250 to 2, 499 w ork ers, and approxim ately on e-sixth
w ere in establishm ents em ploying 2, 500 or m ore.
Although establishm ents
em ploying 2, 500 or m ore w ere found in 13 areas, H artford and Milwaukee w ere
the only areas in which as many as tw o-fifths of the w orkers w ere in such esta b
lishm ents. A m a jority of the w orkers in Denver, D etroit, New York, Portland,
and San F ran cis ccr-Oakland and m ore than tw o-fifths in Boston, Cleveland, D allas,
and Los A ngeles—Long Beach w ere in establishm ents with few er than 250 w ork ers.
Establishm ents having labor-m anagem ent contracts coverin g a m a jority
of their w ork ers em ployed seven-tenths of the production w ork ers in the 21 areas
com bined. Such contract coverage included m ore than nine-tenths of the w orkers
in Pittsburgh, Portland, St. Louis, and San F ra n cisco—Oakland; m ore than th reefourths in Milwaukee, Hartford, Buffalo, D etroit, Cleveland, and Newark and
J e rse y City; and tw o-fifths or m ore in the rem aining areas. The m a jor unions
w ere the International A ssocia tion of M achinists and A erosp ace W ork ers; In ter
national Union, United Autom obile, A erosp ace and A gricultural Implement W orkers
of A m e rica ; and the United Steelw orkers of A m erica (all A F L —CIO).
A p p rox i
m ately one-tenth of the o ffice w ork ers in the 21 areas w ere in establishm ents in
which a m ajority of these w orkers w ere covered by union contract.
Women accounted for as much as a tenth of the plant-w orker em ploym ent
in the m achinery industries only in B altim ore, H artford, Los Angeles—Long Beach,
St. Louis, and San F ra n cisco—Oakland.
Trends in Earnings
A verage straight-tim e hourly earnings of production w orkers in the
21 areas ro se 2. 7 percent between M arch—May 1963 and M arch—May 1964, the
same rate of in crease as occu rred between 1962 and 1963. (See table on next page
and chart on page 4 . 7) The Newark and J ersey City area had the greatest
in crea se (4. 7 percent) between 1963 and 1964, with in crea ses amounting to
3 percent or m ore in eight other areas.
Boston, Houston, Los A n geles-L on g
Beach, and Pittsburgh w ere the only areas in which the rate of in crea se averaged
le ss than 2 percent.
General wage changes usually account for much of the
y e a r -to -y e a r m ovem ent in wages, although other fa ctors such as labor turnover,
incentive earnings, and changes in employment in establishm ents with different
pay levels also affect the trend in wages.
4 In the current study, employment in this area relates to the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined
by the U.S. Bureau of the Budget in 1961; previous surveys were lim ited to part of the SMSA. (See table in appendix B .)

This chart shows percent increase since January 1958 whereas the charts in the earlier machinery bulletins
showed the percent increase since January 1945.

A verage hourly earnings of tool and die m akers (other than jobbing) and
those of mate rial-handling la b orers in all areas com bined in creased by 3.3 percent
between 1963 and 1964 (11 and 7 cents an hour, respectively). Since 1945, when
the Bureau started this se rie s of occupational wage relationship studies for the
m achinery industries, average earnings for these occupations have in creased
146 and 194 percent, resp ectiv ely, com pared with 163 percent for all production
w ork ers.

The rate of in crea se fo r all production w ork ers between 1945 and 1950 was
alm ost 1 V2 tim es the 1950—55 in crease, which in turn was slightly m ore than
lV 4 tim es the 1955—60 in crease. The average annual in crease between 1955 and
I960 was 4. 8 percent, com pared with an average annual in crease of 2. 9 percent
between I960 and 1964. The rate of in crease for m aterial-handling la b orers was
much greater than the rate o f in crease for tool and die m akers between 1945 and
1955, due largely to uniform cen ts-p er-h ou r in crea ses. Since 1955, the d ifferen ce
in rates of in crea se fo r these two jobs has been sm all; tw ice in the past 5 yea rs
(between 1959 and I960 and between 1961 and 1962), the percent in crea se was
slightly greater for tool and die m akers than fo r la b orers.
Occupational Earnings, M arch—May 1964
The occupations fo r which average hourly earnings data are presented
in tables 1 and 2 accounted fo r alm ost on e-h a lf of the estim ated 420, 500 production
w orkers within the scope of the study. In m ost areas, tool and die m akers had
the highest level of hourly earnings among the occupational groups studied. Men
producing or maintaining tools and dies used in the establishm ents in which these
w ork ers w ere em ployed (i. e. , other than jobbing) had average hourly earnings
ranging from $ 2. 88 in Dallas and $2. 89 in W orcester to $3. 88 in San F ra n cisco—
Oakland; in 10 areas, their average earnings exceeded $ 3 .2 5 an hour.
Among
13 areas for which data are shown for tool and die m akers producing tools and
dies fo r sale (i. e. , jobbing), their average hourly earnings ranged from $ 3 .0 2
in Hartford to $ 3. 77 in St. Louis and $ 3. 80 in Chicago. In m ost of these areas,
average hourly earnings of the two groups of tool and die m akers (jobbing and
other than jobbing) differed by less than 4 percent.
A verage hourly earnings of men m a ch in e-tool operators (cla ss A), who
set up their own m achines and p erform a variety of machining operations to clo se
tolera n ces, ranged from $ 2 .5 9 in Dallas to $ 3 .5 0 in St. L ouis; their earnings
averaged $ 3 or m ore in 11 areas. F or the interm ediate group of m a ch in e-tool
operators (cla ss B), area average earnings ranged from $2. 11 to $ 2 .9 4 an hour,
and in a m a jority of instances w ere at least 32 cents below those of cla ss A
op era tors. A rea average hourly earnings of m ach in e-tool operators (cla ss C)
who p erform m ore routine repetitive operations ranged from $ 1 .7 6 to $ 2 .7 8 and
w ere 32 cents or m ore below the earnings level of the interm ediate group of
operators in m ost areas.
In a m ajority of the areas, janitors, p orters, and cleaners w ere the
low est paid of the m en’ s jobs studied; their average hourly earnings ranged from
$ L 57 in Dallas to $ 2. 47 in D etroit. A rea average earnings of mate rial-handling
la b orers ranged from $ 1 ,6 6 to $ 2. 82 an hour.
Data are presented in table 4 fo r selected occupations in establishm ents
p rim a rily manufacturing special dies and tools, die sets, and jigs and fixtures in
6
Chicago, Cleveland, and D etroit; m ach in e-tool a c c e s s o r ie s and m easuring devices
in Chicago and D etroit; and a com bination of these two industries in Boston,
Hartford, Los A n geles-L on g Beach, Milwaukee, Newark and J ersey City, and
New York. 8
Women w ere m ost com m only em ployed in routine assem bly and inspection
or repetitive machining operations. A verage hourly earnings of $2 or m ore w ere
re cord ed fo r cla ss C a ssem blers in six areas, fo r cla ss C in spectors in seven
areas, and fo r cla ss C m ach in e-tool operators in six areas (table 2).
Incentive-paid w orkers generally had higher average earnings than tim erated w ork ers in the same occupation (table 3). 9 The d ifferen ces, however, varied
con siderably among occupations. F or example, in Chicago, m en cla ss A a s s e m
b lers paid on an incentive basis averaged 8 cents an hour m ore than those paid
tim e rates ($ 3 .1 2 and $ 3 .0 4 , resp ectiv ely ); the corresponding differen ce fo r
cla ss C m a ch in e-tool operators was 53 cents ($ 2 .6 6 and $2. 13). In Newark and
J e rse y City, the d ifferen ce in average hourly earnings for incentive-paid and
tim e-ra ted cla ss A a ssem blers was 16 cents and for cla ss C m ach in e-tool
op erators, 56 cents.
The follow ing tabulation, in which area average earnings fo r production
w ork ers are expressed as a percent of the average fo r Chicago, 10 shows that

to those shown in table 3. In comparing these averages, it should be noted that data for incentive and hourly rated
workers usually relate to different establishments since both methods o f wage payment were seldom found in indi
vidual plants.
The pay index for production workers in this tabulation was based on 10 men's jobs common to all areas
(assemblers, classes A and B; inspectors, class A; janitors, porters, and cleaners; laborers, material handling;
m achine-tool operators, production, classes A, B, and C; tool and die makers (other than jobbing); and welders,
hand, class A). To minimize interarea differences in occupational composition, weights expressing constant employment
relationships based on total employment in the respective jobs in all 21 areas were used. Aggregates were computed
for each area by multiplying the straight-time hourly earnings for each job by these weights and totaling. The ratio
o f these aggregates formed the basis for the index.
7
wage lev els w ere highest in San F ra n cisco—Oakland and D etroit and low est in
D allas.
Pay levels in all areas, except D allas, w ere within 10 percent of the
Chicago average, ranging from 2 to 8 percent above the Chicago lev el in 7 areas
and from 2 to 10 percent below in 12 areas.
The earnings distributions of men in six occupations are presented in
tables 5—10. 11 The spread in earnings differed by area and occupation.
F or
example, average hourly earnings of the m iddle half of the cla ss B m ach in e-tool
operators ranged from $ 2 .5 0 to $ 3. 04 in Philadelphia and from $ 2 .8 5 to $ 2 .9 7
in San F ra n cisco—Oakland. In Cleveland, the range of hourly earnings of the
m iddle half of the cla ss B a ssem blers was $2. 63 to $ 3 .0 7 ; for la b orers, m aterial
handling, the corresponding range was $ 2 .3 1 to $ 2 .5 2 .
Establishm ent P ra ctice s and Supplementary Wage P rovision s
Data w ere also obtained on methods of wage payment, work schedules,
overtim e prem ium pay, shift differential provision s and p ra ctices, and selected
supplem entary wage benefits including paid holidays and vacations, and health,
insurance, and pension plans.
Method of Wage Paym ent. 12 T im e-ra ted w ork ers, in a m ajority of the
areas, w ere generally paid according to form alized wage system s providing a
range of rates fo r a sp ecific occupation (table 11). System s providing a single rate
fo r a job, however, w ere found in each area and in four areas w ere m ore com m on
than a range of rates. Rates of pay w ere determ ined on an individual basis for
som e plant w orkers in all except two of the areas studied; this method of payment
applied to on e-fourth or m ore of the w orkers in seven areas.
Incentive wage system s w ere reported in som e establishm ents in all
areas except D allas, Portland, and San F ra n cisco—Oakland. O ne-fourth or m ore
of the w ork ers w ere paid on this basis in Milwaukee, Hartford, Pittsburgh, and
W o rce ste r; at lea st one-eighth in B altim ore, Newark and J ersey City, Buffalo,
Cleveland, St. Louis, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and New York; and sm aller
proportions in the other areas. M ost incentive payments w ere either individual
bonus or individual piecew ork.
Scheduled Weekly Hours and O vertim e P ay. Work schedules of 40 hours
a week w ere in effect in establishm ents with a m ajority of the production w orkers
in all areas except Dallas and Cleveland, where the proportions w ere slightly less
than on e-h alf (table 12).
O ffice w orkers also typically had a 40-hour weekly
schedule except in New Y ork w here 35 and 2>l^!z hours w ere m ore com m on
(table 13).
Pay of 1 V2 tim es the regular rate for w ork in ex cess of 8 hours a day
or 40 hours a week was typically provided for production w orkers in nearly all
areas studied (table 14).
Double time pay alter 12 hours a day o r tim e and
on e-h alf fo r work outside an em ployee's regular work schedule w ere also reported
in som e establishm ents.
11 The separate area releases also include distributions of workers' earnings for the other occupations studied.
12 For definition of the different methods of wage payment, see appendix B.

Shift D ifferential P rovision s and P r a c tic e s .
A large m ajority of the
production w orkers in nearly all areas w ere in establishm ents which had p r o
vision s for la te-sh ift operations with extra pay above d a y-sh ift rates (table 15).
Slightly m ore than on e-sixth of the w ork ers in the 21 areas com bined w ere
em ployed on late shifts during the payroll period studied, approxim ately the sam e
p rop ortion as at the tim e o f the M arch—June 1962 study. Late shifts accounted
fo r m o re than one-fourth of all production w orkers in B altim ore, Houston,
Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, and Portland and less than one-tenth in only two areas,
B oston and New Y ork (table 16).
Total em ploym ent on second shifts in the
21 areas was nearly six tim es as great as em ploym ent on th ird -sh ift operations.
Extra pay above day-sh ift rates was alm ost universally provided for these
w ork ers, but p rovision s differed considerably.
Paid H olidays. Virtually all w ork ers w ere em ployed in establishm ents
which provided paid holidays (tables 17 and 18). Eight days o r m ore w ere p r o
vided annually by establishm ents employing a m ajority of the production and o ffice
w ork ers in Boston, Newark and J ersey City, New Y ork, Philadelphia, and
W o rcester.
Six days or m ore w ere usually provided in the other areas.
Half
days in addition to full-day holidays w ere com m on in m ost areas.
Paid V acations.
Paid vacations of at least 1 week after 1 year, and
2 weeks after 5 yea rs of se rv ic e w ere provided in establishm ents em ploying
nearly all production and office w orkers covered by the study (tables 19 and 20).
T h ree-fou rth s or m ore o f the production w orkers in all except four areas, and
o ffice w ork ers in all except five areas w ere in establishm ents providing at least
3 weeks after 15 years of s e rv ice . F ou r-w eek vacations after 25 y ea rs of se rv ic e
w ere provided in establishm ents having a m ajority of the plant w ork ers in four
areas and a m ajority of the o ffice em ployees in eight areas.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans. Life, hospitalization, and surgical
insurance benefits (with the employer paying at least part of the cost) were
available to nine-tenths or more of the production and office workers in nearly
all areas (tables 21 and 22).
Sickness and accident insurance and medical
insurance also were usually provided in most areas.
Pension plans (providing regular payments on retirem ent in addition to
those under the F ederal socia l security program ) w ere reported by establishm ents
em ploying a m ajority of the production w orkers in all except two areas and
a m ajority of the office em ployees in all except three o f the areas studied.

The co m p o s ite index was obtained by follow in g techniques s im ila r to th ose used

based on av era g e em p loym ents in the m a ch in ery in d u stries in these a rea s fo r the y e a rs
