P re fa c e
This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau o f Labor Statisitics survey of wages
and related benefits in the men’s and boys’ suit and coat manufacturing industry in April
1970. A similar study was conducted by the Bureau in April 1967.
A summary tabulation, providing national and regional information, and separate re­
leases for the following localities were issued earlier: Baltimore, Boston, Chicago,
Cincinnati, Kentucky, Los Angeles—Long Beach, New York, N.Y., Philadelphia, Rochester,
St. Louis, and Southern New Jersey. For Baltimore, New York, and Philadelphia, releases
were issued separately for regular (inside) and cutting shops and for contract shops, as well
as for all shops. Copies o f the releases are available from the U.S. Department of Labor,
Bureau o f Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or any of its regional offices.
This study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office o f Wages and Industrial Relations.
The analysis was prepared by Michael J. Tighe in the Division of Occupational Wage
Structures. Field work for the survey was directed by the Assistant Regional Directors for
Operations.
Other reports available from the Bureau’s program of industry wage studies, as well
as the addresses o f the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end of this bulletin.

M en ’s and Boys’ Suits and Coats

Summary

and those producing chiefly uniforms, for slightly less
than one-tenth. Other products, such as boys’ separate
coats and suits and men’s and boys’ overcoats and top­
coats, accounted for the remainder. As indicated in the
following tabulation, the proportions o f workers in
establishments primarily producing men’s suits varied
from about seven-eighths in the Great Lakes region and
four-fifths in the Border States to one-third in New
England:

Straight-time earnings o f production and related work­
ers in men’s and boys’ suit and coat manufacturing
averaged $2.81 an hour in April 1970.1 About half o f the
103,000 production workers covered by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics survey were in the Middle Atlantic region
and averaged $3.01 an hour.2 Averages in the other
regions studied separately ranged from $2.22 an hour in
the Southeast to $2.98 in the Great Lakes.
Earnings o f 95 percent o f the workers ranged from
$1.60 to $4.50 an hour; the middle half earned between
$2.16 and $3.28. Factors contributing to this wide
dispersion o f earnings included the great variety o f job
skills required in the industry, extensive use o f incentive
pay systems, and pay levels which varied according to
region and area and even among establishments within
the same area.
Among occupations studied separately, hourly earn­
ings ranged from $4.19 for cloth cutters and markers to
$2.13 for janitors. Sewing-machine operators, two-fifths
o f the work force and by far the largest occupational
group, averaged $2.77 an hour in coat fabrication and
$2.70 in trouser fabrication.
Establishments employing almost seven-eighths o f the
industry’s work force had labor-management contracts
covering a majority o f their production workers. With
few exceptions, contracts were with the Amalgamated
Clothing Workers o f America (AFL-CIO); these contracts
usually provided for 7 paid holidays a year; paid summer
and Christmas vacations^and health, insurance, and retire­
ment benefits financed by employer contributions to
union health and welfare funds.

NOTE: The survey also covered establishments primarily
engaged in manufacturing products other than those shown
above, such as boys' separate coats, and boys' overcoats and
topcoats.

Production workers in the survey numbered 103,000—
up 4.7 percent since a similar survey in April 1967. 4
Employment during the period increased 10 percent in
the Border States, 16 percent in New England, and 46
percent in the Southeast, but declined by 2 percent in
the Middle West and by 4 percent in both the Middle
Atlantic and Great Lakes regions.
In April 1970, about half o f the industry’s produc­
tion workers were in the Middle Atlantic region. The
Border States employed one-seventh and the Great Lakes
and Southeast each about one-eighth. No other region
accounted for as much as 5 percent o f the work force.

Industry characteristics

The survey covered establishments primarily engaged
in manufacturing men’s, youths’ and boys’ suits, coats,
vests, uniforms (nonathletic), overcoats, and topcoats.
Establishments primarily producing separate trousers
were excluded.3
Men’s suits were the principal product in establish­
ments employing seven-tenths o f the workers in the
survey. Establishments primarily manufacturing men’s
tailored jackets accounted for one-seventh o f the workers

Three-fourths o f the industry’s production workers
were in metropolitan areas. Such areas accounted for vir­
tually all o f the workers in New England, approximately
nine-tenths in the Great Lakes, Middle West, and Mid­
dle Atlantic regions, about half in the Border States, and
one-fifth in the Southeast. About half of the industry’s
workers were in the nine metropolitan areas studied sep­
arately. Employment in these areas ranged from 14,412
in New York and 13,691 in Philadelphia to between
1,100 and 1,500 in Boston, Cincinnati, Los AngelesLong Beach, and St. Louis. Baltimore and Chicago each
had about 5,600 employees and Rochester, about 4,000.
Information also was tabulated separately for Southern
New Jersey (3,850 workers) and the State o f Kentucky
(4,590 workers). Men’s suits were the primary product of
establishments employing a majority o f the workers in all
but two areas. In Southern New Jersey, almost three-fifths
o f the workers were in shops where uniforms were the
principal product; in Boston, about one-half worked in
shops producing mainly overcoats and topcoats, while
two-fifths were in establishments producing men’s suits.
The survey included three types o f shops: (1) Regular
or “inside” shops own the materials and also perform
all or nearly all o f the required manufacturing operations.
These shops employed about 75 percent o f the workers in
the survey. (2) Contract shops, employing 20 percent of
the workers, perform manufacturing operations on
materials owned by others. Most o f the contract shops
were in the Middle Atlantic region, particularly in the
New York and Philadelphia areas. (3) Cutting shops own
the material and cut the cloth, but deliver it to contract
shops for the remaining processing. Cutting shops ac­
counted for less than 4 percent o f the workers, and in
this study, have been grouped with regular shops.
More than 150 distinct operations are required to
make a suit, and more than 75 to make an overcoat. Al­
though smaller shops combine operations into a single job,
the number of occupational classifications is still relatively
large. After a suit has been designed and patterns made in
various sizes, garment parts are marked, cut, and then prepa* )d for sewing by fitters who sort, match, and trim
small parts, and mark locations for pockets, buttons, belt
loops, etc. Workers engaged in sewing are usually assigned
a specific task in the assembly process, such as sewing on
buttons, sewing backs to fronts, or setting sleeves.
During the process, seams are pressed and the garment is
inspected periodically for proper workmenship.
Workers engaged in sewing operations, performed ei­
ther by hand or machine, made up slightly more than onehalf o f the industry’s production workers. Sewingmachine operators accounted for two-fifths of the work
force and greatly outnumbered workers in hand-sewing
occupations. The number o f workers in hand-sewing occu­




pations, usually employed for higher priced garments, has
declined sharply during the past decade. In coat fabrica­
tion, for example, hand basters declined from 3,983 in
March 1958 5 to 1,454 by April 1970 and hand finishers
declined from 9,568 to 6,844. During the same period,
however, total production worker employment rose by
about 5,000 and sewing-machine operators in coat fabrica­
tion increased by 7,000 to 36,555.
Women, accounting for almost three-fourths o f the
industry’s production workers in April 1970, out­
numbered men among sewing-machine operators, final
inspectors, fitters, pairers and turners, and in most hand­
sewing occupations. Men, on the other hand, were
predominant in jobs such as cutters and markers, finish
pressers, and underpressers. The proportions o f men in
the industry varied from one-sixth in the Border States
and Southeast to about one-third in the Middle Atlantic
region. Among the 11 localities studied separately, the
proportions o f men workers were about 50 percent in
New York; 30 to 40 percent in Boston, Cincinnati,
Chicago, Los Angeles—Long Beach, Philadelphia, and
Rochester; 20 to 30 percent in Baltimore and Southern
New Jersey; and from 10 to 20 percent in Kentucky and
St. Louis.
Three-fourths o f the workers were paid on an incentive
basis, nearly always individual piecework. (See table 25.) 6
The proportions o f incentive workers were five-sixths in
the Southeast, about three-fourths in the Border States,
Middle Atlantic, and Great Lakes, and three-fifths in the
Middle West and New England. In the selected localities,
the proportions amounted to slightly more than one-half
in Boston, three-fifths to slightly more than four-fifths in
nine localities, and slightly over nine-tenths in Rochester.
Establishments having collective bargaining agreements
covering a majority o f their production workers ac­
counted for seven-eighths o f the industry’s employment.
The proportions o f workers in union establishments were
one-fifth in the Southeast, two-thirds in the Middle West,
seven-eighths in the Border States, and nearly all in the
Great Lakes, Middle Atlantic, and New England regions.
Among areas studied separately, the proportions were
two-fifths in St. Louis, and nine-tenths or more in the
5 Date of first postwar nationwide survey conducted in this
industry by BLS. See Wage S tru ctu re: M en's and B o y s ' S u its and
C o a ts , M arch 1 9 5 8 , BLS Report 140 (1959).
6 Piecework rates applied to nine-tenths or more of the
sewing-machine operators, pressers and underpressers, shapers, and
workers in a number of the hand-sewing occupations. Time rates
applied to slight majorities of the workers in most of the cutting
room operations studied separately and to more than four-fifths
of the adjusters (repairmen), janitors, work distributors, stock
clerks, packers, and all-around tailors. Differences in average earn­
ings for piece rate jobs cannot be used as an accurate measure of
differences in rates of pay per unit of work produced. Earnings not
only reflect the piecework rates for a given job, but also the pro­
ductivity of the workers performing the task. Worker productivity
is affected by work experience, effort, workflow, and other factors
that the individual may or may not control.

others. In Kentucky, three-fifths of the workers were
employed in union establishments. Nearly all contracts
in the industry were with the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America (AFL-CIO).

Production workers in metropolitan areas averaged
$2.95 an hour compared with $2.40 for those in smaller
communities. Where comparisons were possible, this
differential amounted to 49 cents in the Middle Atlantic
States, 39 cents in the Border States, and 8 cents in the
Southeast.
Pay levels also differed considerably among the 11
localities studied separately. Wage levels were highest in
the New York metropolitan area ($3.31) and in Chicago
($3.26); they were lowest in Kentucky ($2.41) and in St.
Louis ($2.52). (See table 7-23.)
Average earnings in establishments employing from
5 to 250 workers exceeded those in larger establishments
by 22 cents an hour in New England and 12 cents in the
Middle Atlantic States. Averages in the other regions were
higher in the larger establishments, by amounts ranging
from 28 cents an hour in the Middle West to 5 cents in the
Southeast. In New England and the Middle Atlantic
States, the higher pay levels of the smaller shops reflected
their concentration in the relatively high paying Boston
and New York areas. Boston, for example, accounted for
almost three-fifths of New England’s employment in small
shops, compared with only one-eighth of the employment
in large establishments. Similarly, New York had about
one-half of the small shop employment, but only oneseventh of the large shop employment, in the Middle
Atlantic region.

Average hourly earnings

Straight-time earnings of the 103,000 production and
related workers covered by the study averaged $2.81 an
hour in April I960,7 23 percent more than in April 1967
when a similar survey was conducted.8 This increase, aver­
aging 7.2 percent annually, resulted mostly from general
wage adjustments granted under terms of collective
bargaining agreements between the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America (ACWA) and the Clothing Manufac­
turers’ Association of the United States. These agreements,
which covered a large majority of the workers in the
survey, provided increases each June from 1967 through
1969 totaling 52.5 cents-an-hour for workers on a 40-hour
week and 58.3 cents for those on a 36-hour week. 9 The
agreements also set nationwide minimum rates and a rate
progression scale for both time and incentive workers in
the various occupations in the industry. At the time of the
survey, advancement from the starting rate to the maxi­
mum guaranteed rate required from 8 to 24 months of
service, depending on occupation.
In April 1970, average hourly earnings for production
workers ranged from $3.01 in the Middle Atlantic States
and $2.98 in the Great Lakes to $2.22 in the Southeast.
(See table 1.) Men averaged more than women in each
region by amounts ranging from 87 cents in the Middle
Atlantic and 83 cents in the Great Lakes to 34 cents in
the Southeast. Women were employed largely as sewingmachine operators and hand finishers, whereas, men were
predominant in higher paying jobs, such as cutters and
markers, finish pressers, and underpressers.
Differences in average pay levels for men and women
may result from several factors, including variation
in the distribution of the sexes among establishments
and, as indicated above, among jobs with disparate
pay levels. Differences noted in averages for men and
women in the same job and area may reflect possible
minor differences in duties. Job descriptions used to class­
ify workers in wage surveys usually are more generalized
than those used in individual establishments because
allowance must be made for possible minor differences
among establishments in specific duties performed. As
noted earlier, earnings in some jobs are determined largely
by production at piece rates. Variations in incentive earn­
ings for individuals or sex groupings may be traceable to
differences in work experience, effort, workflow, or other
factors which the worker may or may not control.




7 The straight-tim e average hourly earnings in th is bulletin
differ in con cep t from the gross average hourly earnings published
in th e Bureau’s m on th ly hours and earnings series ($ 2 .8 8 in April
1 9 7 0 ). Unlike the latter, estim ates presented here exclu d e prem i­
um pay for overtim e and for work on w eek en ds, h olid ays, and late
shifts. Average earnings were calculated by sum m ing individual
hourly earnings and dividing by the num ber o f individuals; in the
m on th ly series, the sum o f the man-hour totals reported by
establishm ents in th e industry w as divided in to the rep otted
pay roll totals.
The estim ate o f the num ber o f produ ction w orkers w ithin
scop e o f the stu d y is intended only as a general guide to the size
and com p ostion o f th e labor force included in th e survey. If dif­
fers from the num ber published in the m on th ly series (1 1 3 .2
thousand in April 1 9 7 0 ) b y the exclu sion o f jobbers and establish­
m ents em ployin g few er than 5 workers. Planning for the survey
required that lists o f establishm ents be assem bled considerably in
advance o f data co llectio n . Thus, establishm ents n ew to the indus­
try are o m itted , as are establishm ents originally classified in the
m en’s and b o y s’ suit and coat industry but fou n d to be in other
industries at the tim e o f the survey. A lso om itted are establish­
m ents m anufacturing m en ’s and boys* suits and coats, but class­
ified incorrectly in other industries at the tim e the lists were co m ­
piled.

9 For workers on a 40-hour w eek , the increases were 10 cen ts *
in June 1 967, 25 cen ts in June 1 9 6 8 , and 17.5 cents in June 1969.
For those working 36 hours, the corresponding am ounts were 11.1
cen ts, 2 7 .8 cen ts, and 19.4 cen ts. A dditional hourly pay increases
o f 15-cents for 40-hour workers and 16.7 cents for those working
36 hours were effective June 1, 19 7 0 , but are n ot included in the
earnings data o f this bulletin.

Earnings in contract shops averaged $2.91 an hour—
12 cents more than in regular and cutting shops. Dif­
ferences in location between the two types o f shops also
influenced this nationwide relationship. To illustrate, the
high-wage New York area accounted for about one-third
of all contract shop production workers, but for only
one-tenth of those in regular and cutting shops. Earnings
in regular and cutting shops, however, exceeded those in
contract shops (which typically do not employ the rela­
tively high-paid cutters and markers) in New York ($3.38
compared with $3.22) and in Baltimore ($2.87 compared
with $2.81). In Philadelphia, the other area where this
comparison could be made, identical averages of $3.06
were recorded for both shop groups.
Ninety-five percent of the workers earned from $1.60
to $4.50 an hour. (See table 2.) The middle half of the
workers earned between $2.16 and $3.28. The propor­
tions of workers paid below $2 an hour varied from about
two-fifths in the Southeast and the Middle West to less
than one-tenth in the Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic
regions.

Occupational pay relationships also varied by areas.
In Chicago, for instance, adjusters (repairmen) averaged
57 cents more than machine finish pressers (coat fabri­
cation). In St. Louis, however, machine finish pressers had
the higher average ($3.59 compared with $3.53). Simi­
larly, markers averaged more than cloth cutters in New
York and Baltimore, but the relationship was reversed in
all other areas where comparisons were possible.
Earnings of individual! workers varied widely within
the same job and area. For some jobs, particularly those
typically paid under incentive systems, there was consid­
erable dispersion even within the same establishment.
Frequently, the difference between the highest and low­
est paid workers in the same establishment and job ex­
ceeded $2 an hour.
Establishment practices and supplementary
wage provisions

Information also was obtained on work schedules and
on various supplementary benefits including paid holidays,
paid vacations, and health, insurance, and retirement
pension plans.

Occupational earnings

Scheduled weekly hours. Work schedules of 40 hours
a week were in effect in establishments employing almost
seven-eighths of the production workers in the industry at
the time of the survey. (See table 26.) Forty-hour sched­
ules applied to large majorities of workers in all regions
and localities studied separately except in Chicago; in that
area, slightly more than half were scheduled to work 35
hours— down from 40 hours in April 1967.
Paid holidays. Paid holidays were provided by estab­
lishments employing about seven-eighths or more of the
workers in all regions. (See table 27.) Provisions for 7 days
applied to large majorities of the workers in 5 of the 6 re­
gions; in the Southeast, fewer than 7 paid holidays usually
were provided. Where ACWA provisions applied, holiday
pay was computed in the following manner: For time­
rated workers, pay for each holiday equaled one-fifth of
the employee’s current weekly rate; for incentive paid
workers, holiday pay was 8 times the employee’s straighttime average hourly earnings, computed in a manner
similar to that used to determine the first week of summer
vacation pay. (See paid vacations.)
Paid vacations. Virtually all production workers were
in establishments providing paid vacations after qualifying
periods of service. (See table 28.) Establishments having
agreements with the ACWA usually provided summer
vacation pay as follows: One-half week’s pay after 6 but
less than 9 months of service; three-fourths week’s pay
after 9 months but less than 1 year of service; and 2
weeks’ pay after 1 year or more of service. For time-rated

The survey also developed earnings information sep­
arately for a number of individual occupations selected
to represent the skill levels and manufacturing operations
found in the industry. (See table 3.) Average earnings in
these jobs, which accounted for five-sixths of the work
force, ranged from $2.13 an hour for janitors to $4.19 for
cloth cutters and markers. Other jobs averaging $3.30 an
hour or more included lining cutters ($3.84), hand finish
pressers in coat fabrication ($3.68), and finish pressers in
trouser fabrication ($3.30). All of these occupations were
staffed predominantly by men.
Sewing-machine operators, two-fifths of all production
workers and by far the largest occupational group in the
industry, averaged $2.77 an hour in coat fabrication and
$2.70 in trouser fabrication. Their earnings, however,
varied by specific operation performed. In the Middle
Atlantic region, for instance, workers sewing in coat
sleeves averaged $3.43 an hour— 84 cents more than
those attaching buttons; in trouser fabrication, averages
ranged from $3.10 for sewers attaching zippers to $2.65
for sergers.
Table 24 presents regional and locality averages for
eight selected jobs as a percent of their respective nation­
wide averages. The tabulation illustrates, for example, that
regional pay levels varied more widely for relatively high
paid jobs, such as adjusters (repairmen), cutters and
markers, and machine finish pressers than for the lower
paying jobs of work distributors and thread trimmers.

workers, pay for the first week of vacation equals the
employee’s current regular weekly rate; for incentive-paid
workers, pay for the first week equals 40 times the em­
ployee’s straight-time average hourly earnings for the 4
busiest consecutive weeks of the vacation year. The
second week’s vacation pay is the same as the first week
for employees who worked at least 1,200 hours during the
year ending May 31; for those who worked fewer than
1,200 hours, compensation is 2lA percent of the em­
ployee’s straight-time earnings during the year ending May
31. In addition, workers who have at least a year of serv­
ice received a week of vacation pay at Christmas com­
puted in a manner similar to that used to determine the
second week of the preceding summer’s vacation pay.
Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Health and
insurance benefits were provided to workers in estab­
lishments with ACWA contracts through the Amalga­
mated Social Insurance Fund, to which employers contrib­
uted 4.2 percent of gross wages each pay period. (See table
29.) Benefits available from the fund included $3,000 of
life insurance, sickness and accident insurance, and hospi­
talization, medical, and surgical benefits. Hospital, sur­
gical, and medical benefits also were available to families
of employees.




Services of a union health center were available to
employees in five areas— Baltimore, Chicago, New
York, Philadelphia, and Rochester. To maintain these
centers, employers contributed 1.5 percent of gross
wages in Chicago; 1.267 percent in Rochester; 1.145
percent in Philadelphia; 2 percent in Baltimore; and
five-sixteenths of 1 percent in New York. In New York,
each employee also contributed $12 annually to the
center, and in Philadelphia, employees initially contrib­
uted $20.
Retirement benefits were provided by establish­
ments employing slightly more than nine-tenths of
the industry’s production work force. For ACWA mem­
bers, employers contributed 4.5 percent of gross wages
payable each pay period through the Amalgamated
Retirement Fund. The fund provides retirement pay­
ments of $85 a month in addition to Federal social
security to qualified workers begining at age 65.
Additional monthly payments are made to eligible em­
ployees for each year of service after 20 and/or for
average annual earnings over $5,000 for the 5 years
before retirement. Workers may retire at age 62, or on
disability, if otherwise eligible, at proportionately reduced
retirement benefits.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey

Scope of survey

Employment

The survey covered establishments engaged primarily
in manufacuring men’s, youths’, and boys’ suits, coats,
and overcoats (part of industry 2311 as defined in the
1967 edition o f the S ta n d a rd In d u stria l C lassification
M anual , prepared by the U.S. Office o f Management and
Budget, formerly U.S. Bureau o f the Budget). Included
in the study were establishments manufacturing tailored
suits, separate coats o f jackets, overcoats and topcoats,
uniforms, and suit vests. Jobbers, who perform only
entreprenurail functions, such as buying material, ar­
ranging for all manufacturing to be done by others, and

The estimates of the number o f workers within the
scope o f the study are intended as a general guide to the
size and compostion o f the labor force included in the
survey. The advance planning necessary to make a wage
survey requires the use o f lists o f establishments assembled
considerably in advance o f the payroll period studied.

selling the finished product, were excluded from the
survey, as were separate auxiliary such as central
office.
The establishments studied were selected from those
employing five workers or more at the time of reference
o f the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The number o f establishments and workers studied by
the Bureau, as well as the number estimated to be within
scope o f the survey during the payroll period studied, are
shown in table A - l.

Method of study

Data were obtained by personal visits o f the Bureau’s
field staff. The survey was conducted on a sample basis.
To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a
greater proportion o f large than of small establishments
was studied. In combining the data, however, all estab­
lishments were given their appropriate weight. All esti­
mates are presented, therefore, as relating to all establish­
ments in the industry, excluding only those below the
minimum size at the time o f reference o f the universe
data.

The term “production workers,” as used in this bulle­
tin, includes working foremen 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.

Occupations selected for study

Occupational classification was based on a uniform set
o f job descriptions designed to take account o f interestab­
lishment and interarea variations in duties within the same
job. (See appendix B for these descriptions.) The occupa­
tions were chosen for their numerical importance, their
usefulness in collective bargaining, or their representative­
ness o f the entire job scale in the industry. Working su­
pervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and
handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary
workers were not reported in the data for selected occu­
pations but were included in the data for all production
workers.

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 pro­
duction bonus systems and cost-of-living bonuses, were
included as part of the workers’ regular pay; but non­
production bonus payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.

Establishment definition

An establishment, for purposes of this study, is defined
as a single physical location where industrial operations are
performed. An establishment is not necessarily identical
with the company, which may consist o f one establish­
ment or more.

definitions.
4 Includes only establishments employing 5 workers or more at the time of reference of the universe data.
Includes executive, professional, office, and other workers excluded from the production worker category shown separately.
Includes data for regions in addition to those shown separately.

Average hourly rates or earnings for each occupation or
other group o f workers, such as men, women, or produc­
tion workers, were calculated by weighting each rate (or
hourly earnings) by the number o f workers receiving the
rate, totaling, and dividing by the number o f individuals.
The hourly earnings o f salaried workers were obtained by




dividing their straight-time salary by normal rather than
actual hours.
Size of community

Tabulations by size o f community pertain to metro­
politan and nonmetropolitan areas. The term “metropol80

least one-half o f the production workers in an establish­
ment, the benefits were considered applicable to all such
workers. Similarly, if fewer than half o f the workers were
covered, the benefit was considered nonexistent in the
establishment. Because of length-of-service and other
eligibility requirements, the proportion of workers re­
ceiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated.
P aid Vacations. The summary of vacation plans is lim­
ited to formal arrangements, excluding informal plans
under which time off with pay is granted at the discreation
o f the employer or the supervisor. Payments not on a
time basis were converted; for example, a payment o f 2
percent o f annual earnings was considered the equivalent
of 1 week’s pay. The periods o f service for which data
are presented were selected as representative of 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
o f service may include changes which occurred between
5 and 10 years.
H e a lth , insurance , a n d re tire m e n t plans. Data are pre­
sented for health, insurance, and pension plans for which
all or part of the cost is borne by the employer, exculding
programs required by law, such as workmen’s compen­
sation and social security. Among the plans included are
those underwritten by a commerical insurance company;
those provided thorugh a union fund, or those paid direc­
tly 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 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 con­
tributes at least a part o f 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 (2) provides the employees with benefits
which exceed the requirements of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick-leave plans are limited to for­
mal plans which provide full pay or a proportion o f the
worker’s pay during absence from work because o f illness;
informal arrangements have been omitted. Separate tabu­
lations 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 o f doctors’ fees. These plans may
be underwritten by a commercial insurance company or a

itan area,” as used in this bulletin, refers to the Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U.S.
Office o f Management and Budget through January 1968.
Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan Sta­
tistical Area is defined as a county or group o f contiguous
counties which contains at least one city o f 50,000 inhab­
itants or more. Counties contiguous to the one containing
such a city are included in a Standard Metropolitan Sta­
tistical Area, if, according to certain criteria, they are
essentially metropolitan in character and are socially and
economically integrated with the central city. In New
England, the city and town are administratively more im­
portant than the county, and they are the units used in
defining Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas for that
region.

Method of wage payment

Tabulations by method o f wage payment relate to the
number o f workers paid under the various time and incen­
tive wage systems. Formal rate structures for time-rated
workers provide single rates or a range o f rates for indi­
vidual job categories. In the absence o f a formal rate struc­
ture, pay rates are determined primarily by the qualifica­
tions o f the individual worker. A single rate structure is
one in which the same rate is paid to all experienced work­
ers in the same job classification. Learners, apprentices,
or probationary workers may be paid according to rate
schedules which start below the single rate and permit the
workers to achieve the full job rate over a period o f time.
Individual experienced workers occasionally may be paid
above or below the single rate for special reasons, but such
payments are regarded as exceptions. Range of rate plans
are those in which the minimum and/or maximum rates
paid experienced workers for the same job are specified.
Specific rates o f individual workers within the range may
be determined by merit, length o f service, or a combina­
tion o f various concepts o f merit and length o f service. In­
centive workers are classified under piecework or bonus
plans. Piecework is work for which a predetermined rate is
paid for each unit o f output. Production bonuses are based
on production over a quota or for completion o f a task
in less than standard time.
Scheduled weekly hours

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

nonprofit organization, or they may be a form o f selfinsurance.
Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as
catastrophe insurance,includes the plans designed to cover
employees in case o f sickness or injury involving an ex­




82

pense which exceeds the normal coverage o f hospital­
ization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans
which provide regular payments for the remainder o f the
retiree’s life.

Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions
The primary purpose o f 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 o f payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to
establishment and from area to area. This permits the grouping o f occupational wage rates
representing comparable job content. Because o f this emphasis on interestablishment and
interearea comparability o f 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 supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handi­
capped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
