Industry Wage Survey—

Footwear, March 1968
level recorded in A pril 1965. 3 Annual p ro ­
duction of footw ear (except slip p ers and ru b ­
b er footw ear) during this perio d totaled 536
m illion p a irs in 1965, 548 m illion in 1966,
and 504 m illio n in 1967, the la te st y ear for
which inform ation is available. 4

Sum m ary
S traig h t-tim e earnin gs of production
and related w o rk ers in the footw ear m anu fac­
tu ring in du stry averaged $ 2 .10 an hour in
M arch 1968. O ne-fourth of the 172, 381 w o rk ­
e rs covered by the B u reau 's s u rv e y 1 had
earnin gs at or n ear the $1.60 an hour F e d e ra l
m inim um wage in effect for m anufacturing
estab lish m en ts at the tim e of the s u r v e y .
E arn in gs of the re s t of the w o rk ers w ere
w idely d isp e rse d . This d isp e rsio n of e a rn ­
ings reflected c h a ra c te ris tic s of the in du stry
such as its wide d istrib u tio n am ong sections
of the country w here pay levels v ary , the
wide range of w o rk er sk ills u tilized , and the
extensive use of piece ra te s as a m ethod of
wage paym ent.
■ Workers in New E ngland, accounting
for 36 p e rc e n t of the in d u stry 's em ploym ent,
averaged $ 2 .2 4 an hour. Among the other
regions studied se p a ra te ly , wage levels ranged
from $ 2 .1 4 in the G reat L akes to $ 1 .8 8 in
the B o rd er S tates. 2
W orkers in plants p rim a rily m anu fac­
tu ring w om en's ce m e n t-p ro c e ss (conventionallasted) shoes accounted for slightly m o re than
tw o-fifths of the in d u stry 's labor force and
averaged $2. 12 an hour. In the o ther seven
in d u stry branch es studied se p a ra te ly , hourly
av erag es ranged from $1.90 to $ 2 .2 6 . E a rn ­
ings levels also varied by size of com m unity,
size of estab lish m en t, and occupation.
W ork schedules of 40 hours a week
applied to nine-ten ths of the production and
o f f i c e w o rk e rs. F ootw ear m an u factu rers
typically provided both groups of w o rk ers with
6 or 8 paid ho lidays, annually; 1 week of
vacation pay after 1 y e a r of se rv ic e and at
le a st 2 w eeks afte r 5 y e a rs; and various health
and in su ran ce ben efits. Slightly m ore than
tw o-fifths of the production and office w o rk ­
e rs w ere covered by re tire m e n t pension plans.

In the nonrubber footw ear in d u stry ,
productivity advanced in 6 of the 9 y e a rs b e ­
tw een 1957 and 1966. G ains in output p er
m an-ho ur for all em ployees in this in du stry
v aried con sid erab ly from y ear to year; the
annual ra te , how ever, averaged 1.2 p ercen t—
sub stantially below the 3. 7 p ercen t rep o rted
for m anufacturing in d u stries as a whole. 5
S ubstitute products (notably ru b b ercanvas footw ear) and i m p o r t e d shoes a re
among the com p etitors of d o m estically p ro ­
duced leath er footw ear. F ro m 1965—67, do­
m estic production of vulcanized shoes and
slip p ers with fab ric uppers equaled ap p ro x i­
m ately 25 p ercen t of d o m estically produced
non ru b b er footw ear; 6 im p o rts of non rubb er
footw ear equaled 14 p e rc e n t of dom estic p ro ­
duction in 1965, 15 p ercen t in 1966, and
22 p ercen t in 1967. 7

seven -eigh ths of the in d u stry 's lab or fo rce.
C lassificatio n of estab lish m en ts into th ese

approxim ately one-eighth each. S i n c e the

the M iddle A tlan tic, and 3 p e r c e n t in the
M iddle W est.



The regio nal m ix v aried sub stantially

M ethod of Wage P aym ent. Incentive
wage sy ste m s, usually based on individual

production w o rk ers (table 39). The p ro p o r­

tw o-fifths in the P a c i f i c region to n early
fo u r-fifth s in the M iddle W est. Among the
in d u stry b ran ch es, incentive w o rk ers c o n sti­
tuted betw een th re e - and fo u r-fifth s of the
em ploym ent. A m ajo rity of the w o rk ers in

pations w hich w ere usu ally tim e rated included
floor boys and g irls , in sp ecto rs (cro w n ers),

rated w o rk ers usually w ere paid under in fo r­
m al sy stem s which determ in ed ra te s p r im a r ­

A verage H ourly E arnings
S traig h t-tim e earnings of the 172,381
production w o rk ers covered b y the survey
a v e r a g e d $2 .10 an hour in M arch 1968
(table 1). 11 This level of earnin gs was an
in c re a se of n early 19 p ercen t over the a v e r­
age of $1 .7 7 reco rd ed in A p ril 1965, and
com pared w ith in c re a se s of 17 to 22 p ercen t
in all reg io n s, except the P acific, w here wage
levels ro se 10 p ercen t. 12
The 63,412 m en, about th ree-eig h th s of
the in d u stry 's production w o rk e rs, averaged
$ 2 .3 7 an hour in M arch 1968; the 108,969
w om en averaged $ 1 .9 3 . Wage advantages for
m en over wom en w ere found in all regions
and ranged from 57 cents an hour in New
E n g l a n d to 26 cents in the Southw est and
25 cents in the B o rd er S tates. D ifferences
11 The straight-tim e hourly earnings presented in this bul­
letin are not comparable with the gross average hourly earnings
published in the Bureau's monthly hours and earnings series. The
monthly series combines data for plants primarily manufacturing
nonrubber footwear designed for street, work, play, or sportswear
and for plants making house slippers as their primary product; the
latter group and footwear plants em ploying fewer than 50 workers
were not included in this study. Additionally, unlike the monthly
series, the estimates presented here exclude premium pay for
overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
Average earnings were calculated by summing individual hourly
earnings and dividing by the number of individuals; in the monthly
series, the sum of the man-hour totals reported by establishments
in the industry was divided into the reported payroll totals.
The estimates of the number of workers within scope o f the
survey are intended only as a general guide to the size and com*
postion of the labor force covered by this survey. The advance
planning necessary to make the survey required the use of lists
of establishments assembled considerably in advance of data col­
lection. Thus, establishments new to the industry are om itted,
as are establishments originally classified in this industry but found
to be in others at the tim e of the survey. Also om itted are foot­
wear establishments classified incorrectly in other industries at the
tim e the lists were com piled.

Cutting shoe uppers and linings— firs t
