Preface
This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of wages and
supplementary benefits in the nonelectrical machinery manufacturing industries in the winter
of 1974-75.
Separate releases were issued earlier for the 23 metropolitan areas covered by the survey.
Copies are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or any of
its regional offices.
Data on occupational earnings and establishment practices and supplementary wage pro­
visions are presented for the machinery industries as a whole by area. Separate information on
occupational pay—including averages and distributions—also is presented for selected indus­
tries (e.g., special dies and tools, die sets, jigs and fixtures, machine-tool accessories; oil-field
machinery) in 11 areas.
This study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations. Sandra
King of the Division of Occupational Wage Structures prepared the analysis. Field work for
the survey was directed by the Bureau’s Assistant Regional Commissioners for Labor Statistics.
Other reports available from the Bureau’s program of industry wage studies, as well as the
addresses of the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end of this bulletin.

Summary

Percent of production workers in machinery

plants by prim ary product, winter 1974-75

Occupational hourly pay levels in the nonelectrical
machinery manufacturing industries increased 17 percent
between February 1973 and the winter of 1974-75 in the
21 machinery centers surveyed regularly by the Bureau for
two decades.1 Average annual rates of increase ranged from
about 6.4 percent in Boston to 11.5 percent in San FranciscoOakland. Between the winter of 1970-71 andFebruary 1973,
industry pay levels rose 13 percent in the 21 geographical
areas.
Among the occupations studied separately in 1974-75,*2
tool and diemakers were among the highest paid, typically
averaging between $5 and $7 per hour. Those producing
tools and dies for sale (jobbing) held a wage advantage over
their counterparts producing or maintaining tools and dies
for use within the establishment (other than jobbing) in a
majority of areas compared. Janitors, one of the lowest paid
occupations studied, averaged from $3.09 to $4.66.
Paid holidays and paid vacations were provided for most
of the production and office workers in nearly all areas. At
least part of the cost of life, hospitalization, surgical, and
basic medical insurance was provided to about nine-tenths of
the production workers or more in most areas. Retirement
pension plans covered at least two-thirds of the workers in
each area studied.

according to their primary product. These categories, along
with the percent of production workers employed in each,
are presented in text table 1.
Among the 23 areas in the study, the types of products
manufactured varied considerably. In Houston, nearly fourfifths of the workers were in plants primarily producing
oil-field machinery (part of the construction and related
machinery category). In Tulsa, three-fifths of the workers
were in plants making construction and related machinery.
Establishments manufacturing primarily general industrial
machinery employed nearly three-fifths of the workers in
Hartford and almost half in Buffalo, while those making
metalworking machinery employed slightly less than half
of the work force in Detroit. No single product category
furnished employment to a majority of workers in the
other areas.

Industry characteristics
P roducts. The nonelectrical machinery industries manufac­

ture a variety of products, ranging from staple removers and
pencil sharpeners to large complex engines, turbines, and oil
drilling rigs. The establishments studied3 were classified

E m p lo y m e n t. The 23-area survey covered three-tenths of

the estimated 1,487,900 production and related workers
employed in the nonelectrical machinery industries at the
time of the study.4 Production employment, according to
the survey, ranged from 3,000 to 8,000 workers in Atlanta,
Baltimore, Buffalo, Denver, Portland, San Francisco, Tulsa,
and Worcester, and rose to a high of 71,400 in Chicago. After
Chicago, the next largest machinery centers studied were
Detroit (45,300), Milwaukee (41,000), Los AngelesAnaheim (37,900), and Cleveland (27,400). (See appendix
table A-l.)
Largely because of changes in metropolitan area defini­
tions, only 10 areas were fully comparable for the 1973 and

^ e e appendix A for scope and method o f 1974-75 survey,

w hich covered 23 geographical areas. Surveys conducted
from 195 5 through the fall o f 1968 covered 21 areas; as
a result, earnings trend data in this report are limited to these
areas. Tulsa, Okla., was added to the winter 1970-71 survey and
Atlanta, Ga., to the 1973 survey, resulting in the current total o f
23 areas. Earnings data presented in this bulletin exclude premium
pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late
shifts.
2 See appendix B for job descriptions.
3 The survey included establishments primarily engaged in manu­
facturing nonelectrical machinery. Omitted from the survey were
(1) establishments with fewer than 8 workers, primarily manufac­
turing special dies, tools, jigs and fixtures, or machine-tool acces­
sories, and (2) other nonelectrical machinery establishments with
fewer than 50 workers.

1974-75 surveys. Aggregate employment of production
workers for these 10 areas decreased about 2 percent—from
243,300 to 238,800. Employment declined about 16
percent in Buffalo, and between 6 and 8 percent in each of
the following: Cleveland, Los Angeles,Philadelphia, and San
Francisco. The number of production workers remained
virtually unchanged in Baltimore, Chicago, and Portland;
employment increased in Pittsburgh (4 percent) and Mil­
waukee (8 percent).
In the 23 areas combined, 45 percent of the workers
were in plants with 100 to 999 employees, compared with
18 percent in establishments with fewer than 100 workers
and 37 percent in those with 1,000 workers or more. Plants
with fewer than 100 employees accounted for about onethird of the work force in Atlanta, Detroit, and New York;
they accounted for one-fourth or less in each of the other
areas studied. Only in Baltimore and Milwaukee were a
majority of workers in establishments employing at least
1,000 workers.

garding wage setting for operators of these machine tools
varied. Nearly one-third of the 237,216 employees in plants
with N/C machines worked under wage policies which did
not establish a formal rate relationship between operators
of N/C equipment and conventional machine tools; one-half
worked in plants which set the same wage rates for both types
of operators; and one-sixth worked in plants which set higher
rates for N/C operators than for conventional operators. A
few establishments set N/C rates lower than conventional
rates. These proportions generally held in most areas studied.
Another production arrangement frequently used by
machinery manufacturers is the multiple operation of
machine tools. In the 23 areas, 44 percent of the workers
were employed in establishments that used this multiple
operation system. Commonly referred to as “bank opera­
tions,” this system permits one employee to operate two or
more production machine tools of the same type simulta­
neously. Nearly one-fourth of the workers assigned to
multiple operations received separate wage differentials for
such work.
Nearly seven-eighths of the production workers in the
survey were employed in establishments having assembly
work. About two-fifths were employed in plants primarily
using floor assembly systems, one-third in plants using
bench assembling, and one-tenth in plants using conveyor
lines. Types of assembly systems varied somewhat among
the areas. The proportion of workers in bench assembly
plants, for example, ranged from less than one-fifth each in
Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Portland to three-fourths in DenverBoulder.

Processes. Production methods used in the manufacture of

nonelectrical machinery have many similarities and generally
include machining, assembling (floor, bench, or conveyor
line), and inspecting. Depending on a firm’s organization
and the product it manufactures, casting, forging, stamping,
heat-treating, polishing, plating, and painting also may be
part of the production process. Tools, dies, and fixtures are
items frequently manufactured to meet customers’ specifi­
cations, but products having a large demand usually are
mass-produced.
One of the newest technological developments in the
mass production process is the use of numerically controlled
(N/C) machine tools. This technique permits the automatic
operation of the machine using electronic devices (control
units) and programmed changeable tapes. The control unit
interprets coded tape instructions, prepared in advance by a
programmer, and directs the machine tool through the pro­
grammed sequence of machining operations to control
functions such as machine speeds and feeds, movement of
the tool, flow of coolant, and even selection of the proper
preset cutting tool for each operation.
Numerically controlled machines are used to make a
variety of machinery products including oil-field and con­
struction machinery, machine tools, metalworking and
woodworking machinery, pumps and compressors, and
printing equipment.
The Bureau developed information on the number of
operators on N/C machines for the first time in the 1970-71
survey. At that time, approximately 3,100 N/C operators
were employed in the industry, compared with 4,300 in
1973 and 4,500 in the current survey. (See tables 1 to 23
for earnings of these N/C operators.)

U nionization. Establishments with collective bargaining
agreements covering a majority of their production workers
employed two-thirds of the work force recorded in the
survey. As shown in text table 2, the proportion of workers
in such establishments varied widely among the areas. Most
workers covered by bargaining agreements were represented
by the Machinists (IAM), Auto Workers (UAW), or Steel­
workers (USA).
Text table 2. Workers in machinery plants with collective
bargaining agreements covering a majority of their pro­
duction workers, winter 1974-75

In winter 1974-75, 45 percent of the workers in the 23
areas were employed in establishments with no numerically
controlled machines and no plans for purchasing them. In
those plants that had N/C machines, however, policies re­

2Because the intervals between the 5 surveys conducted since
1965 were over 1 year, all percentage changes have been adjusted
to an annual basis. The compound effect o f wage changes was
considered in computing the annual percentages for periods cover­
ing more than 12 months.

NOTE: To determine the percent change for all areas combined,
for material handling laborers, and for tool and diemakers (other,
than jobbing), the payroll reference periods used for the 1968,
1970-71, and 1974-75 surveys, which covered more than a single
month, were O ctob er,D ecem b er, and Decem ber^ r esp e ctiv ely .

M e th o d o f wage p a y m e n t At least four-fifths of the pro­

5 percent in each of five areas. Among occupations selected
for separate study, women were employed most frequently
as assemblers, inspectors, and machine-tool operators in
routine and less difficult tasks.

duction workers in all areas except Milwaukee were paid on
a time-rate basis, usually under formal plans that provided
for ranges of rates for specific occupations (table 25).
Informal systems, which base rates primarily on the qualifi­
cations of individual workers, applied to 23 percent of th e '
workers in New York; about 18-19 percent in Atlanta,
Detroit, and Newark-Jersey City; 12-15 percent in Boston,
Cleveland, and Dallas; and 9 percent or less in the other
areas. Incentive wage systems applied to two-fifths of the
workers in Milwaukee and to nearly one-fifth in Chicago,
Cleveland, Hartford, Newark, and Pittsburgh. Such systems
applied to one-tenth or less of the workers in most of the
other areas.

Trends in earnings

Between February 1973 and the winter of 1974-75,
average straight-time hourly earnings of machinery workers
increased 17 percent, or at a record average annual rate of
8.9 percent overall for these surveys. During this period, the
average annual rate of increase found in comparing the 21
areas ranged from 6.4 percent in Boston to 11.5 percent in
San Francisco-Oakland. (See text table 3.)
Increases in average hourly earnings in nonelectrical
machinery manufacturing resulted primarily from wage rate
changes granted through collective bargaining or individually
by employers. However, the machinery industries’ principal

force in the 23 areas surveyed were women. Their share of
the work force ranged downward from between 20 and 25
percent in Denver, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis to less than

method of wage payment (three-fifths of the production
workers paid under ranges of rates for specified jobs),
coupled with relatively stable employment, may also have
contributed to the advancing averages.
For all areas combined, tool and diemakers (other than
jobbing) had a 9.1-percent increase between the two survey
periods, and material handling laborers a 7.9-percent rise.
The percentage increase, higher for the more skilled job
than for laborers, is a return to the relationship found in
machinery studies conducted between 1964 and 1968.
The Bureau’s wage-rate index for all production workers
in the nonelectrical machinery industries stood at 159.0
(1966-68 = 100) at the time of the winter 1974-75 survey.
The corresponding indexes were 165.1 for material handling
laborers and 160.6 for tool and diemakers (other than
jobbing).

The occupations for which wage data are presented in
tables 1 to 23 were selected to represent the full spectrum
of activities performed by production workers in the
industry. These jobs accounted for about half of the
432,776 production and related workers within scope of
the winter 1974-75 survey. Tool and diemakers usually had
the highest average earnings—typically, $5 to $7 an hour. In
10 of the 17 areas where comparisons could be made,
workers producing tools and dies for sale (jobbing) had
higher average hourly earnings than their counterparts pro­
ducing or manufacturing tools and dies for use within the
establishment (other than jobbing). The differential was
most pronounced in Chicago where the jobbing shop
advantage averaged 14 percent ($7.58 compared with $6.65).
Machine-tool operators were the largest occupational
group studied. Conventional operators were classified into
three groups for wage study purposes: Operators who set
up their own machines and perform a variety of machining
operations to close tolerances (class A) averaged from $7.01
in San Francisco-Oakland to $4.56 in Atlanta and $4.58 in
Tulsa; the corresponding range for the intermediate group
of operators (class B) was $6.03 in San Francisco to $3.76
in Dallas-Fort Worth; and for operators who perform
routine repetitive operations but do not set up the machines
(class C) a high of $5.68 in San Francisco and a low of
$2.95 in Dallas.
Operators on numerically controlled (N/C) machines
typically averaged between $5 and $6 an hour, ranging
from $4.33 in Hartford-New Britain-Bristol to $6.33 in
St. Louis. In slightly more than half of the 22 areas per­
mitting comparison, average earnings of operators working
on N/C machines fell between the pay levels for class A and
class B conventional operators.
Janitors were among the lowest paid of the occupations
studied. Typically, they averaged between $3.50 and $4.50
an hour, ranging from $3.09 in Dallas-Fort Worth to $4.66
in Portland.

Straight-tim e hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for
overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
2Area definitions were not comparable for the Hartford, Los
Angeles, Newark-Jersey City and New York areas. Tulsa is not
included in the area wage survey program.

Average hourly earnings of material handling laborers
and of tool and diemakers (other than jobbing) in machinery
plants were compared with corresponding averages recorded
in the Bureau’s area wage surveys in 18 areas.5 Text table 4
presents hourly average pay relatives for the two jobs using
the more broadly based area wage survey average in each
area as 100. It shows a mixed picture for laborers and for
tool and diemakers in machinery manufacturing, who
earned less than their counterparts in all manufacturing
industries in about half the areas compared.
Based on nine occupational classifications common to
all areas, San Francisco-Oakland had by far the highest
average earnings and Dallas the lowest. The relative pay
levels using Chicago as base=100 are presented in text
table 5.
5The Bureau’s area wage survey program covers establishments
in the following broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; trans­
portation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale
trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and selected
services. Area wage surveys were conducted throughout the country
in 1974 and 1975. Data from these surveys were adjusted to reflect
the payroll reference periods used in the machinery survey. Employ­
ment minimums o f 50 workers in manufacturing were in effect for
the surveys in Atlanta, Baltimore, Denver-Boulder, Houston,
Milwaukee, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Portland. In the other areas,
the minimum was 100 workers.

The interarea spread in average straight-time hourly
earnings varied by occupation. Class B machine welders in
Houston, for example, averaged 43 percent more than their
counterparts in Atlanta. The corresponding spread for
maintenance electricians was 32 percent, and for class A
assemblers, 13 percent. Class A inspectors in Atlanta,
however, averaged 2 percent more per hour than their
counterparts in Houston.

Where comparisons were possible, workers paid under
incentive wage systems usually were found to have higher
average earnings than time-rated workers in the same occu­
pation and area. (See tables 1 through 23 for selected exam­
ples and text table 6 for illustrations in 4 areas.) Differences
in averages between time and incentive workers, however,
varied somewhat by occupation and area. For example,
classes A and B machine tool operators (production) paid
under incentive wage systems in Chicago averaged 11 and
16 percent more, respectively, than their time-rated counter­
parts. The corresponding differences in Cleveland were 25
and 36 percent.

Earnings of individuals, determined largely under
systems providing ranges of rates for specified occupations,
varied considerably within the same job and area (tables 1
to 23). Earnings of the highest paid* workers frequently
exceeded those of the lowest paid in the same job and
area by $2 an hour or more. Thus, some workers in com­
paratively low-paid jobs earned more than some workers in
jobs for which significantly higher averages were recorded.
For example, text table 7 indicates a considerable over­
lapping of earnings for class A inspectors and class C
assemblers in Cleveland, despite a $1.51 difference in the
hourly averages of the two jobs.

1 Average hourly earnings for workers in 9 occupational classifi­
cations were used in computing the relative pay levels. The jobs are:
Assemblers, classes A and B; inspectors, class A; janitors, porters,
and cleaners; machine-tool operators, production, classes A and B;
tool and diemakers (other than jobbing); tool clerks; and welders,
hand, class A. To minimize interarea differences in occupational
composition, weights expressing constant employment relationships
based on total (winter 1974-75) employment in the respective
jobs in the 23 areas were used. Aggregates were computed for each
area by multiplying the average straight-time earnings for the
jobs by these weights and totaling. The ratio o f these aggregates
formed the basis for the relatives.

and North Central areas studied, plant workers usually re­
ceived at least 10 days annually. In the South and West,
workers typically received 9 or 10 days annually. Excep­
tions to this general pattern were in Atlanta and Denver
where workers typically received 7 and 11 days per year,
respectively. Also, in Worcester, a majority of the plant
workers received 9 days or less annually. With some excep­
tions, paid holiday provisions for office workers were
generally similar to those for plant workers within the
same area.

P aid vacations. Paid vacations were provided to plant and

office workers by virtually all the establishments in the
survey (tables 32 and 33). Typically, provisions for plant
workers in most areas were 1 week of vacation pay after 1
year of service, 2 weeks after 2 or 3 years, 3 weeks after 10
years, and at least 4 weeks after 20 years. Five weeks or
more of vacation pay after 30 years of service were avail­
able to a majority of the plant workers in Baltimore, Mil­
waukee, and Newark-Jersey City. Provisions for office
workers generally were similar to those for plant workers
within the same area except that they typically received 2
weeks of vacation pay after 1 year of service.

Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions

Information was obtained on shift differential provisions
and practices for production workers. Data on work sched­
ules and selected supplementary benefits, including paid
holidays and vacations, and health, insurance, and retire­
ment plans, were obtained for both plant and office
workers.

H ea lth , insurance , an d re tire m e n t plans. Establishments

providing life, hospitalization, surgical, and basic medical
insurance employed at least nine-tenths of the plant and
office workers in all areas (tables 34 and 35). Two-thirds

S h ift d ifferen tia l p ro visio n s an d practices. In nearly all
areas surveyed, plants employing at least four-fifths of
the production workers had provisions for late-shift opera­
tions, with extra pay above day-shift rates (table 26). The
proportion of workers actually employed on second shifts,
however, ranged from 5 percent in Atlanta and 8 percent
in New York to about 27 percent in Baltimore and Houston
(table 27). Third-shift employment made up 11-12 percent
of the total in Baltimore and Houston, 9 percent in Phila­
delphia and Pittsburgh, 7 percent in Milwaukee and
Portland, and 6 percent or less in the other areas. Shift
differentials, usually paid on a cents-per-hour basis or as a
percentage of day-shift rates, varied widely among and
within areas.

S ch ed u led w e e k ly hours. Work schedules of 40 hours a

week were in effect in establishments employing seventenths or more of the plant workers in a majority of the
areas (table 28). Most of the remaining production workers
had weekly schedules exceeding 40 hours except in Phila­
delphia and Baltimore where 25 and 35 percent of the
workers, respectively, were scheduled for 37 hours.
Office workers also were typically scheduled for 40
hours a week, except in New York where schedules of fewer

(table 29).

or more of the workers in most areas were covered by
accidental death and dismemberment insurance (in addi­
tion to basic life insurance), major medical insurance, and
sickness and accident insurance, or sick leave plans, or both.
Plans providing routine dental services applied to ninetenths of the plant workers in San Francisco-Oakland, to
four-fifths in Portland and three-tenths or less in the other
areas. Employers typically paid the entire cost of these health
and insurance plans.
Retirement pension plans (other than social security)
were available to three-fourths or more of the plant and
office workers in nearly all the areas and typically were
financed entirely by the employers. Retirement severance
pay plans were not common, applying to less than onetenth of the workers in each area.
A p p ren tice sh ip and training program s . Slightly more than

two-fifths of the workers in the 23 areas combined were in




7

plants having some formal apprenticeship or training pro­
gram. The proportion of workers in plants having such
programs in 21 areas ranged from one-seventh in Boston
and New York, to seven-tenths in Hartford and slightly
more than four-fifths in Baltimore (text table 8). No plants
visited in Tulsa or Worcester had such programs.
For survey purposes, apprenticeship programs were
limited to those registered with either the Federal or a
State Government. These programs are primarily designed
to train young workers, under the supervision of skilled
journeymen, to become proficient in skilled crafts or
trades. Most apprenticeship programs outline a 4-year
curriculum of on-the-job experience and related instruction.
Training programs, on the other hand, refer to company
operated planstthat involve both classroom instruction and
workplace experience and may require at least 1 year for
the trainee to complete.

Appendix A.

Scope and Method of Survey
performed. An establishment is not necessarily identical
with the company, which may consist of one establishment
or more.

Scope of survey

The survey included establishments engaged primarily in
manufacturing machinery, except electrical (major group
35 as defined in the 1967 edition of the S ta n d a rd In du strial
C lassification (SIC ) M anual, prepared by the U.S. Office of
Management and Budget). This major group includes
establishments engaged in manufacturing machinery and
equipment, except for electrical equipment (which is
included in major group 36) and transportation equip­
ment (major group 37). Machines powered by built-in
or detachable motors ordinarily are included in major group
35, with the exception of electrical household appliances
(major group 36). Portable tools, both electric and pneu­
matic powered, are included in major group 35, but handtools are classified in major group 34. Separate auxiliary
units such as central offices of the firms studied were
excluded.
The study covered establishments with 50 workers or
more at the time of reference of the data used in com­
piling the universe lists. Also included were establishments
which employed 8 to 19 workers and primarily manufac­
tured special dies and tools, die sets, jigs and fixtures, or
machine-tool accessories and measuring devices (industries
3544 and 3545).
The number of establishments and workers actually
studied by the Bureau and the number estimated to be in
the industries during the payroll period studied are shown
in table A-l.

Employment

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 industries’ labor force rather than as
precise measures of employment.
Production and office workers

The term “production workers” or “plant workers,”
as used in this bulletin, includes working supervisors and all
nonsupervisory workers engaged in nonoffice functions.
Administrative, 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.
The term “office workers ” includes all nonsupervisory
office workers and excludes administrative, executive,
professional, and technical employees.
O ccupations selected for study

Occupational classification was based on a uniform set
of job descriptions designed to take into account inter­
establishment and interarea variations in duties within the
same job. (See appendix B for these descriptions.) The
criteria for selection of the occupations were: The number
of workers in the occupation; the usefulness of the data in
collective bargaining; and appropriate representation 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.

Method of study

Data were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s
field staff to a representative sample of establishments
within the scope of the survey. To obtain appropriate
accuracy at a minimum cost, a greater proportion of
large rather than of small establishments was studied. In
combining the data, however, all establishments were given
an appropriate weight. All estimates are presented, there­
fore, as relating to all establishments in the industries in the
selected areas, excluding only those below the minimum
size at the time of reference of the universe data.

Wage data

Information on wages relates to 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, but nonproduction bonus pay-

Establishment definition

An establishment,'for purposes of this study, is defined
as a single physical location where industrial operations are

ments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.
Average (mean) hourly rates (or earnings) for each occu­
pation 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 divid­
ing their straight-time salary by normal (or standard) rather
than actual hours to which the salary corresponds.

Method of wage payment

Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to the
number of workers paid under the various time and in­
centive wage systems. Formal rate structures for 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 qualifi­
cations 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 sched­
ules which start below the single rate and permit the
workers to achieve the full job rate over a period of time.)
An experienced worker occasionally may be paid above or
below the single rate for special reasons, but such pay­
ments are exceptions. Range-of-rate plans are those in
which the minimum, maximum, or both of these 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 combination
of these. Incentive workers are classified under piece­
work or bonus plans. Piecework is work for which a pre­
determined rate is paid for each unit of output. Produc­
tion bonuses are based on production over a quota or for
completion of a task in less than standard time.

Wage trends

The machinery index series has been developed from
data obtained in the Bureau’s program of occupational
wage surveys in 21 metropolitan areas studied separately
since 1955, and is based on straight-time hourly earnings
of men production workers in the following occupations:
Assemblers (classes A, B, and C); maintenance electricians;
inspectors (classes A, B, and C); janitors, porters, and
cleaners; material handling laborers; machine-tool operators
on production (classes A, B, and C); production machinists;
tool and diemakers (other than jobbing); and class A hand
welders.
Area indexes reflect changes in average hourly earnings
but not changes in the proportion of workers in the separate
occupations. For each area, an aggregate of earnings was
obtained by weighting the average straight-time hourly earn­
ings for the respective occupations by a set of weights, based
on average employment in the occupations in that area for
1966 and 1968. (Occupational weights for these years are
not available for Tulsa and Atlanta since these areas were
added to the survey in 1970 and 1973, respectively.) The
jpercent change was determined by comparing this ag­
gregate with the aggregate for the previous year; the current
index was computed by applying this percent of change to
the previous index (in this case, 1973) for the area.
The index for all 21 areas combined is constructed so as
to minimize the effect of employment changes among the
areas studied. The composite index was obtained by follow­
ing techniques similar to those used to determine area
indexes. An aggregate of earnings was obtained by weight­
ing the average straight-time hourly earnings for the selected
occupations in the areas by a set of weights, based on
average employment in the machinery industries in these
areas for 1966 and 1968. The percent change was de­
termined by comparing this aggregate with the aggregate
for the previous year, and the current index was com­
puted by applying this percent change to the previous
index (1973) for all areas combined. To maintain con­
sistency of area definitions and establishment size between
the past two surveys, the 1973 machinery data were ad­
justed to the 50-worker minimum size cutoff used in
1974-75 and the latter survey’s area definitions were made
to conform with those in the 1973 survey.
From time to time, the index procedure is revised to
bring the weighting pattern up to date by changing the set
of occupational weights and the area weights. The new



Scheduled weekly hours

Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work
schedule for full-time production workers (or office
workers) employed on the day shift.

Shift provisions and practices

Shift provisions relate to the policies of establishments
either currently operating late shifts or having formal pro­
visions covering late-shift work. Practices relate to workers
employed on late shifts at the time of the survey.

Supplementary wage provisions

Supplementary benefits in an establishment were con­
sidered applicable to all production workers (or office
workers) if they applied to half or more of such workers
in the establishment. Similarly, if fewer than half of the
workers were covered, the benefit was considered non­
existent in the establishment. Because of length-of-service
and other eligibility requirements, the proportion of
workers receiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated.
82

(2) provides the employees with benefits which exceed
requirements of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick-leave plans are limited to fQrmal
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 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 com­
plete or partial payment of doctors’ fees. These plans may
be underwritten by a commercial insurance company or a
nonprofit organization, or they may be a form of selfinsurance.
Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as ex­
tended medical insurance, includes plans designed to cover
employees for sickness or injury involving an expense which
exceeds the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical,
and surgical plans.
Dental insurance, for purposes of this survey, usually
covers fillings, extractions, and X-rays. Excluded are plans
which cover only oral surgery or accident damage.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans
which provide regular payments for the remainder of the
retiree’s life. Data are presented separately for retirement
severance payments (one payment or several over a specified
period of time) made to employees on retirement. Estab­
lishments providing both retirement severance payments
and retirement pensions to employees were considered as
having both retirement pension and retirement severance
plans. Establishments having optional plans providing
employees a choice of either retirement severance pay­
ments or pensions were considered as having only retire­
ment pension benefits.

P aid holidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day

and half-day holidays provided annually.

P aid vacations. The summaries of vacation plans are limited

to formal arrangements and exclude informal plans whereby
time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the em­
ployer or 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 represent
the most common practices, but they do not necessarily
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.

H ealth f insurance, an d re tire m e n t plans. Data are presented

for health, insurance, pension, and retirement plans for
which all or part of the cost is borne by the employer,
excluding programs required by law, such as workers’
compensation and social security. Among the plans in­
cluded are those underwritten by a commercial insurance
company, and those paid directlv by the employer from
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




1The temporary disability insurance laws in California and
Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.

O c c u p a tio n a l D escrip tion s

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 occupational wage rates representing com­
parable job content. Because of this 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 is instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices,
learners, beginners, trainees, and part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
