This survey is the first study of this component of the nonelectrical machinery manufac­ turing industry. Previous studies of a larger and more dispersed industry reflected a wider range of machinery products, occupational coverage, and staffing patterns. Data are provided separately for 12 centers of industry concentration. Information also is presented for the spe­ cial dies and tools component of the industry in 7 of these centers. Separate releases were issued earlier for each area cov­ ered by the survey. Copies of these reports are available from the Bureau or any of its regional offices.   https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  iii  The study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Com­ pensation and Working Conditions. Jonathan W. Kelinson of the Division of Occupational Pay and Employee Benefit Levels analyzed the survey findings and prepared this bulletin. The Bureau’s field representatives obtained the data through personal visits to a probability-based sample of establishments within the scope of the survey. Fieldwork for the survey was directed by the Bureau’s As­ sistant Regional Commissioners for Operations. Other industry wage survey reports are listed at the end of this bulletin, along with information on how to obtain copies.

Detroit, the largest metalworking center in the survey, with more than 16,000 production workers (table A-l), was the high­ est-paying area (table 1). Workers in St. Louis, Milwau­ kee, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Los Angeles-Long Beach also ranked among the higher paid; however, exceptions for individual occupations or skill levels were common. Tool and die makers were the highest paid workers in 10 of the 12 areas studied. Their average hourly earnings ranged from $16.95 in Detroit to $12.14 in Pittsburgh.1 In 10 of the 11 areas for which data were available, at least seven-eighths of the tool and die makers worked in jobbing shops. Generally, these are contract tool and die shops which produce die sets, jigs, or fixtures for another man­ ufacturer as the end product of the metalworking estab­ lishment. Machine-tool operators are the most common occupa­ tional group in the industry. They operate any of several types of nonportable, power-driven machine tools that shape metal by progressively removing portions of the stock (the raw material to be machined), by cutting or forming the stock, or through abrasion. (See appendix B for occupational descriptions.) Wage data were collected separately for those performing production work and for those engaged in toolroom work; by the particular type of machine tool operated and the skill and precision levels of work required; and for workers using conventional ma­ chine tools or (computer) numerical-control machine tools. Production or toolroom work. Machine-tool operators in a production setting manufacture machine tools and metal­ working equipment for sale or use outside of the establish­ ment. Those workers who make metalworking machinery, tools, dies, jigs, or other products for the establishment’s own use are classified as doing toolroom work. Hourly 1 Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. See appendix A for the scope and method of the survey and for definitions of terms used in this report. This survey excluded establishments employing fewer than 10 workers. See ap­ pendix B for occupational descriptions.   https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  1  earnings averages for machine-tool operators in the tool­ room exceeded those of their production counterparts in each of the 11 areas permitting comparison. The pay ad­ vantage for toolroom workers was just over 50 percent in Chicago and Los Angeles-Long Beach, about 5 percent in Boston and Cleveland, and between 8 and 30 percent in the remaining areas. Average pay for machine-tool operators in the toolroom ranged from $ 15.94 an hour in St. Louis to $11.72 an hour in Cleveland. Among production machinetool operators, those in Detroit had the highest hourly av­ erage ($12.49); workers in Chicago averaged the lowest ($9.29). For both occupational groups, variation in aver­ age pay was about 35 percent among the areas. Skill level and type of machine tool. Production machinetool operators were identified by the particular machine tool operated and skill level required. Class A machinetool operators interpret the machining operations from specifications, determine the proper tooling and operation sequences, and adjust the equipment as necessary to assure precise levels of tolerance. They were the highest of three skill levels studied among conventional machine-tool op­ erators. In the 11 areas where data are shown, average pay ranged from $ 15.14 an hour in Detroit to $ 10.96 an hour in Pittsburgh. Grinding-machine and milling-machine operators were the two most populous production machine-tool operator classifications studied.2 The relative pay levels in these two jobs varied, in part, according to the staffing pattern and the mix of skill levels within each category and area. Among class A operators in each occupation, for example, workers employing grinding machines had a pay advan­ tage over those using milling machines in four of the seven areas permitting comparison. When comparisons were ex­ panded to include all skill levels, however, this pay rela­ tionship reversed in some localities. In Philadelphia, for example, class A grinding-machine operators had an 11.4-percent wage edge over class A milling-machine op­ erators; however, the overall pay average slightly favored milling-machine operators (by less than 1 percent). 2 Pay comparisons with the 2,600 miscellaneous machine-tool opera­ tors were not made, because pay levels for these workers may reflect work performed on multiple machine tools, work performed using machine tools whose operational complexity was not known, or for other occupa­ tional characteristics that were not specific to this occupation. See appen­ dix B for occupational descriptions.  Conventional versus numerical-controlled machine tools. Computer-numerical-controlled machines, in contrast to manually operated, conventional machines, employ pro­ grammed or coded instructions to direct the machine through a sequence of operations. Operators of numericalcontrolled machines were identified either as operate only, or as set up and operate. Hourly averages for the higher skilled set-up workers ranged from $ 15.61 in Los AngelesLong Beach to $11.32 in Hartford-New Britain-Middletown. In 5 of the 10 cases that could be compared, those who set up and operate computer-numerical-control ma­ chine tools averaged more than the class A conventional machine-tool operators working in the same area. Data for selected occupations in the special dies and tools segment of the industry are presented separately for seven of the areas in the study (table 2). Production work­ ers in this industry segment constituted slightly more than half of all workers surveyed in these areas (table A-l). Oc­ cupational pay in contract tool and die shops generally was the same as, or slightly less than, the industry-wide av­ erage for the same job and area. The more limited staffing pattern shown among tool and die shops reflects a narrow­ er scope of industrial activity. Earnings among individual workers across all occupa­ tions in the industry ranged from under $4.50 an hour in Los Angeles-Long Beach to at least $23 an hour in De­ troit. Within an individual occupation and area, however, pay ranges were more concentrated (tables 3-21). For ex­ ample, in Hartford-New Britain-Middletown, CT and Northern New Jersey (tables 9 and 16), where the distribu­ tion of earnings was comparatively broad, the hourly earn­ ings of over half of the workers in a given occupation typi­ cally fell close to the mean—usually within $1.50. Contributing to the consolidation of occupational earn­ ings were a narrowly defined skill range for each class or level of work and the relative absence of incentive payment plans. Only Cleveland and St. Louis reported significant proportions of workers on these plans—about two-fifths each (table 22). Benefits Virtually all production workers in 11 of the metalwork­ ing machinery manufacturing centers received paid holi­ days; three-fourths of the workers in Cleveland were in es­ tablishments providing paid holidays (table 26). Actual holiday provisions varied within and among the areas studied, ranging from 5 days per year for 2 percent of the workers in Los Angeles-Long Beach to 16 holidays per year for 4 percent of those in Northern New Jersey. At least one-third of the workers in each area, however, re­ ceived between 9 and 12 paid holidays per year. Paid vaca­ tions were provided to nearly all workers studied (table 27). Usual vacation provisions were 1 week after 1 year of service, 2 weeks after 2 years, 3 weeks after 8 years, and 4 weeks or more after a minimum of 20 years of service. Four-fifths or more of the workers in 10 areas were eligi­   https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  2  ble for hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance, while nearly three-fourths of their counterparts in Minneapolis-St. Paul and Los Angeles-Long Beach were pro­ vided similar insurance plans (table 28). Establishments which afforded these benefits through membership in a health maintenance organization (HMO) employed no more than one-half of the workers 10 areas, but to slightly more than four-fifths of the workers in Los Angeles-Long Beach, and to about three-fourths in Cleveland. Life insur­ ance applied to seven-eighths or more of the workers in each area in the survey, except Philadelphia, where threefourths of the workers were covered. Retirement plans generally covered between four-fifths and one-half of the workers in each area; however, the reported incidence of these plans was as high as nine-tenths in Chicago, Cleve­ land, and St. Louis. Health, insurance, and retirement plans often were provided at no cost to the employee. Health plan participation levels (table 29) for general health-care benefits, either through standard health insur­ ance or membership in a health maintenance organization, exceeded 90 percent in each area. Among the four special­ ized health-care programs studied separately, participa­ tion was highest for alcohol and drug abuse treatment plans. Full or partial pay for time off for special circumstances (attending a family funeral, serving as a juror, or military service) varied considerably according to the type of ab­ sence and locality (table 30). For example, funeral leave was provided to at least three-fourths of the workers in the Northeast areas, between three-fifths and three-fourths of the workers in most Middle West areas (nine-tenths in St. Louis), and just under two-fifths in Los Angeles-Long Beach. Jury-duty leave generally was less prevalent than funeral leave, except in Boston-Lawrence-Salem and Cleveland. Paid leave for military service, which covered just over half of the workers in Pittsburgh, applied to fewer than one-tenth of the workers in Detroit and Los AngelesLong Beach. Between one-tenth and one-half of the work­ ers in each of the other industrial centers were eligible for some employer compensation during military training. Severance pay benefits, providing pay to employees who are separated permanently from their job because of a technological change or a plant closing, generally applied to fewer than 10 percent of the workers in an area, but cov­ ered 14 percent of those in Boston-Lawrence-Salem and 25 percent in Northern New Jersey. Formal provisions for automatic wage-rate adjustments, usually based on changes in the BLS Consumer Price Index, applied to 32 percent of the workers in Cleveland, 23 percent in Detroit, and between 3 and 12 percent in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Milwaukee. No such plans were reported in establishments in the remaining areas. Industry characteristics The February 1990 survey of metalworking machinery manufacturers is the first study of this component of the  nonelectrical machinery manufacturing industry. Pre­ vious studies of a larger and more dispersed industry re­ flected a wider range of machinery products, occupational coverage, and staffing patterns.3 The current study focuses more directly on one industry component, metalworking machinery manufacturing, and limits the survey coverage to 12 urban centers of industry concentration. The special dies and tools trade also was studied separately in 7 of these areas. (See appendix A for industry definitions.) The 12-area study covered just over one-fifth of the pro­ duction workers employed in metalworking machinery manufacturing establishments nationwide in February 1990.4 Production worker employment was highest in De­ troit (16,228), Chicago (9,062) and Cleveland (7,242). The five smallest centers each had fewer than 2,000 production workers: St. Louis (1,999), Minneapolis-St. Paul (1,846), Hartford-New Britain-Middletown (1,780), Northern New Jersey (1,574), and Boston-Lawrence-Salem (1,433). Among the 7 centers of special dies and tools manufac­ turing, production employment ranged from 8,402 in De­ troit to 897 in Northern New Jersey. These workers were just over half of the metalworking machinery manufactur­ ing workers in the 7 areas studied and about two-fifths of all metalworking production workers in the 12 survey ar­ eas. Production employment in the 7 special dies and tools manufacturing centers accounted for nearly one-fifth of the nationwide production work force of the industry.5 The types of products manufactured in the industry var­ ied from heavy construction machinery to precision tools and dies. Production employment, however, was domi­ nated by the special dies and tools industry, except in Cleveland, where electric and gas welding equipment was the principal output for a plurality of production workers, and in New England, where industrial employment was spread more evenly among the nine divisions.6 Nearly all production workers in the industry were paid time rates (table 22). Individually determined rates 3 See Industry Wage Survey: Machinery Manufacturing, November 1983, Bulletin 2229 (April 1985) for the latest survey in the earlier series. 4 See Employment, Hours, and Earnings, United States, 1909-90, Vol­ ume I, Bulletin 2370, p. 253. 5 See Employment, Hours, and Earnings, United States, 1909-90, Vol­ ume I, Bulletin 2370, pp. 259-260. 6 See appendix A, Scope of survey, for listing of the nine industry divi­ sions.   https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  3  applied to a majority of workers in just over half of the ar­ eas studied. Formal single-rate plans were most prevalent in Pittsburgh and range-of-rate pay plans, usually based on length of service or a combination of length of service and merit review, predominated in Northern New Jersey and St. Louis. In Minneapolis-St. Paul, about one-third of the workers were covered by each of three wage payment plans: Single rates, range-of-rates, and individually deter­ mined rates. Incentive pay plans covered just over onefifth of the workers in Cleveland (individual piecework) and St. Louis (mostly individual bonus). Weekly work schedules varied considerably among the 12 areas studied (table 23). A majority of workers were in establishments with schedules of 40 hours per week in 10 of the 12 areas studied; however, schedules varied from fewer than 40 hours (covering between 3 and 5 percent of the workers) in Boston-Lawrence-Salem, Northern New Jersey, and Chicago to 58 hours in Detroit (10 percent of the work force). Longer work schedules typically were more common in the special dies and tools industry than in the rest of metalworking machinery manufacturing. Provisions for second-shift work and extra pay for work performed on such schedules were widespread in metal­ working machinery manufacturing (table 24). Similar pro­ visions for third-shift work were less prevalent, covering a majority of production workers in only three areas: Pitts­ burgh, Cleveland and St. Louis. The type and amount of premium pay varied considerably among the areas studied and, to a lesser degree, within each area. Generally, pay for late-shift work either was at least 40 cents per hour or at least 10 percent above day-shift rates; however, workers in Pittsburgh and Cleveland typically received smaller pre­ miums. Actual second-shift employment was highest in Cleveland (20 percent) and as little as 5 percent of local employment in Hartford-New Britain-Middletown and Northern New Jersey (table 25). Third-shift employment exceeded 5 percent only in Pittsburgh (7.1 percent). Establishments with collective bargaining agreements generally employed fewer than one-fourth of the produc­ tion workers in a locality. Labor-management contracts applied to just over one-half of the workers in Pittsburgh and to about two-fifths of those in St. Louis. Most con­ tracts were with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, the United Automo­ bile Workers of America, or the United Steelworkers of America, all AFL-CIO affiliates.  Table 1.

Scope and Method of Survey  Scope of survey  lishment or more. In this bulletin, the terms “plant” and “establishment” have been used interchangeably.  The survey included establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing metalworking machinery and equip­ ment (industry group 354 as defined in the 1987 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget). This in­ dustry group includes establishments engaged in manufac­ turing metal cutting machine tools; metal forming ma­ chine tools; industrial patterns; special dies and tools, die sets, jigs and fixtures, and industrial molds; cutting tools, machine tool accessories, and machinists’ precision measuring devices; power-driven handtools; rolling mill machinery and equipment; electric and gas welding and soldering equipment; and metalworking machinery, not elsewhere classified. In 7 of the 12 manufacturing centers included in the survey, data were studied separately for manufacturers of special dies and tools, die sets, jigs and fixtures, and industrial molds (industry 3544). Separate auxiliary units, such as central offices, were excluded. Establishments studied were selected from those em­ ploying 10 workers or more at the time of reference of the data used in compiling the universe lists. Table A-l shows the number of establishments and workers estimated to be within the scope of the survey, as well as the number ac­ tually studied by the Bureau.  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 industry’s labor force, rather than as precise measures of employment. Production workers The term “production workers” includes working su­ pervisors and all nonsupervisory workers engaged in non­ office activities. Administrative, executive, office, profes­ sional, and technical personnel, and force-account con­ struction employees, who are used as a separate work force on the firm’s own properties, are excluded. Occupational classification Occupational classification was based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestab­ lishment 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 wage and salary administration and in collective bargain­ ing; and appropriate representation of the entire wage structure in the industries. Supervisors, apprentices, learn­ ers, beginners, trainees, and part-time, handicapped, tem­ porary, 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 representatives to a probability-based sample of es­ tablishments within the scope of the survey. To obtain ap­ propriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of small establishments was studied. In com­ bining the data, each establishment was given an appropri­ ate weight. All estimates are presented, therefore, as relat­ ing to all establishments in the industry, 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 pay­ ments, such as those resulting from piecework or produc­ tion bonus systems, and cost-of-living pay increases (but not bonuses) are included as part of the workers’ regular pay. Also excluded are performance bonuses and lump­ sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aero­ space industries, as well as profit-sharing payments, atten­ dance bonuses, Christmas or yearend bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses.  Establishment definition An establishment, for purposes of this study, is defined as a single physical location where manufacturing opera­ tions are performed. An establishment is not necessarily identical with a company, which may consist of one estab­  https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  74  Average (mean) hourly rates or earnings for each occupa­ tion were calculated by weighting each rate (or hourly earnings) by the number of workers receiving the rate, to­ taling, and dividing by the number of individuals. The hourly earnings of salaried workers, if any, were obtained by dividing straight-time salary by the normal (or stan­ dard) 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 incen­ tive wage systems. Formal rate structures for time-rated workers provide single rates or a range of rates for individ­ ual job categories. In the absence of a formal rate struc­ ture, pay rates are determined primarily by the qualifica­ tions of 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 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 piecework or bonus plans. Piecework is work for which a predeter­ mined rate is paid for each unit of output. Production bo­ nuses are for production in excess of a quota or for comple­ tion of 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. 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 work­ ers employed on late shifts at the time of the survey.  Paid vacations. The summaries of vacation plans are lim­ ited to formal arrangements and exclude informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the employer or supervisor. Payments not on a time basis were converted; for example, a payment of 2 percent of an­ nual 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 nec­ essarily reflect individual establishment provisions for progression. For example, changes in proportions indi­ cated at 20 years of service may include changes which oc­ curred between 15 and 20 years. Health-care, insurance, and retirement plans. Data are presented for health-care, insurance, and retirement plans for which the employer pays all or a part of the cost, ex­ cluding programs required by law such as workers’ com­ pensation and Social Security.1 Among plans included are those underwritten by a commercial insurance company and those paid directly by the employer from current oper­ ating 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. Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to formal plans2 which provide full pay or a portion of the worker’s pay during absence from work because of illness; informal arrangements have been omitted. Separate tabulations are provided for (1) plans which provide full pay and no wait­ ing period, and (2) plans providing either partial pay or a waiting period. Long-term disability insurance plans provide payments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration of sick leave, sickness and accident insurance, or both, or after a specified period of disability (typically 6 months). Pay­ ments are made until the end of disability, a maximum age,  1 Temporary disability insurance, which provides benefits to covered workers disabled by injury or illness which is not work-connected, is man­ datory under State laws in California and New Jersey. In both States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan.  Employee benefits Employee benefits in an establishment were considered applicable to production 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 nonexistent in the establishment. Because of length-of-service and other eligibility requirements, the proportion of workers receiving the benefits may be small­ er than estimated.  https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  Paid holidays. Paid-holiday provisions relate to full-day and half-day holidays provided annually.  Statefundfinancing-. In California, only employees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey, employees and employers contribute.  Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required to contribute more than they would if they were covered by the State fund. 2 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the minimum amount of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances deter­ mined on an individual basis are excluded.  75  tirement pay plans; however, establishments having op­ tional plans providing employees a choice of either retire­ ment pensions or lump-sum payments were considered as having only retirement pension benefits.  or eligibility for retirement benefits. Payments may be at full or partial pay, but are almost always reduced by Social Security, workers’ compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled employee. Hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial payment for hos­ pital room charges, inpatient surgery, and doctors’ fees. These plans typically cover other expenses, such as outpa­ tient surgery and prescription drugs, and may be under­ written by a commercial insurance company or a nonprof­ it organization, or they may be a form of self-insurance. A health maintenance organization (HMO) provides comprehensive health care services to its members for fixed periodic payments rather than indemnification or re­ imbursement for medical, surgical, and hospital expenses. Dental insurance covers routine dental work, such as fillings, extractions, and X-rays. Excluded are plans which cover only oral surgery or accidental injury. Vision care plans cover routine eye examinations and eyeglasses. Excluded are plans which cover only certain kinds of surgery or care required as a result of an accident. Hearing care plans provide at least partial payment for hearing examinations, hearing aids, or both. Alcohol and drug abuse treatment plans provide at least partial payment for institutional treatment (in a hospital or specialized facility) for addiction to alcohol or drugs. Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide regular payments for the remainder of the retiree’s life. Data also are presented separately for lump­ sum retirement pay (one payment or several over a speci­ fied period of time) made to employees upon retirement. Establishments providing both lump-sum retirement pay­ ments and retirement pensions to employees were consid­ ered as having both retirement pensions and lump-sum re­   https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  r  Health plan participation. Data relate to the proportion of production workers participating in selected health care plans. A plan is included even though it is offered only to a minority of workers, or a majority of the workers in an es­ tablishment do not choose to participate in it. Paid funeral and jury-duty leave.3 Data relate to formal plans that provide at least partial payment for time lost as a result of attending funerals of specified family members or serving as a juror. Paid military leave. Data relate to formal plans which pro­ vide excused absence from work with full or partial pay while on annual training duty. Plans that provide paid leave only for temporary emergency duty are excluded. Cost-of-living adjustments. Data relate to formal plans that adjust wages in keeping with changes in the BLS Consumer Price Index or some other measure. Technological severance pay. Data relate to formal plans that provide payments to employees permanently sepa­ rated from the company because of a technological change or facility closing. 3 Paid jury-leave is required by law in parts of Massachusetts that are within the Boston—Lawrence—Salem, MA-NH, Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical Area.  76  Table A-1.

Occupational Descriptions  quence; makes frequent adjustments to machines during op­ eration to obtain the requisite, dimensions of very close tol­  The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist its field representa­ tives in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and dif­ ferent work arrangements from establishment to establish­ ment and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job con­ tent. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bu­ reau’s job descriptions may differ significantly from those used in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bu­ reau’s field representatives are instructed to exclude super­ visors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and han­ dicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary work­ ers. The titles and codes below the job titles in this appendix are taken from the 1980 edition of the Standard Occupa­ tional Classification Manual (SOC), issued by the U.S. De­ partment of Commerce, Office of Federal Statistical Policy and Standards. In general, the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ occupational descriptions are much more specific than those found in the SOC manual. For example, four of the nine production machine-tool operator occupations studied fell into one pair of SOC classifications (7312-lathe and turning ma­ chine setup operators, and 7512-lathe and turning ma­ chine operators and tenders). Therefore, in comparing the results of this survey with other sources, differences in oc­ cupational definitions should be taken into consideration.  erances.  ClassB- Sets up machines to perform machining operations where the proper feeds, speeds, tooling and operation se­ quence are prescribed or are maintained from a previous op­ eration set up; may make adjustments to machines during operation to obtain the requisite dimensions of close toler­ ances.  Class C-Operates machines on routine and repetitive oper­ ations; may make minor adjustments to machines during operation to obtain ordinary tolerances; requests assistance from a working supervisor or leadworker when trouble oc­ curs.  Computer-numerical-control, set up and operate - Sets up and operates computer-numerical-control (CNC) machine tools (including numerical control) by installing the proper tools in the appropriate sequence; positions the workpiece to be machined; loads the programmed instructions into a con­ troller or computer; monitors the operation of one or more machines to ensure that the work is properly done; uses mi­ crometers, gauges, or other precision-inspection equipment to ensure the requisite dimensions of tolerance; may correct the program, if necessary, or refer the problem to a numeri­ cal-control machine-tool programmer. Computer-numerical-control, operate only - Operates com­ puter-numerical-control (CNC) machine tools (including numerical control) by loading the programmed instructions into a controller or computer; monitors the operation of the machine to ensure that the work is properly done; may use micrometers, gauges, or other precision-inspection equip­ ment to ensure the requisite dimensions of tolerance; refers program or machining problems to a numerical-control set­ up worker or a numerical-control machine-tool program­  Production and Toolroom Occupations Machine-tool operator, production  mer.  Operates or tends one or more nonportable, powerdriven machine tools (including computer-numerical-con­ trol and numerical-control) that shape metal by progres­ sively removing portions of the stock in the form of chips or shavings, or by abrasion. Workers should be classified according to the type of machine tool operated, as well as the skill level required to perform the work.  Automatic-lathe operator (SOC 7312: Lathe and turning machine setup operators) (SOC 7512: Lathe and turning machine operators and  tenders)  Class A - Sets up machines to perform machining operations  (Automatic-chucking-machine operator; automaticturret-lathe operator)  by interpreting drawings, blueprints, or layouts to deter­ mine the proper feeds, speeds, tooling and operation se­  Operates one or more lathes, equipped with an automat-   https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  78  ic feed mechanism, that actuate the cutting tools over the complete work cycle. Automatic lathes may differ as to the type of construction (horizontal or vertical); the number of spindles (single or multiple); the method of feed (hand, au­ tomatic-chucking, or hopper); the method of holding the work (in chucks or between centers); and the method of presenting the tools to the stock in sequence (turrets, slides, or revolving work stations).  Operates an engine lathe that shapes the external and in­ ternal cylindrical surfaces of metal objects. The stock to be machined may be held in place by various types of chucks and fixtures, or by lathe centers. Engine lathes typically have a headstock, tailstock, and power-feed carriage which allow engine-lathe operators to turn, bore, or thread castings, forgings, or other machined parts. Grinding-machine operator (soc 7322: Grinding, abrading, buffing, and polishing machine setup operators) (SOC 7522: Grinding, abrading, buffing, and polishing machine operators and tenders)  Boring-machine operator (SOC 7318: Drilling and boring machine setup opera­ tors) (SOC 7518: Drilling and boring machine operators and tenders)  (Cylindrical-grinder operator; surface-grinder opera­ tor; Universal-grinder operator)  (Boring-mill operator; jig-boring machine operator)  Operates one or more of several types of precision­ grinding machine that grind internal and external surfaces of metal parts to a smooth and even finish. Precision grind­ ing consists of applying abrasive wheels, which rotate at high speed, to the surface of the piece to be finished (typi­ cally, previously machined parts) to obtain the required dimensions and finish. Also included in this classification are other single-purpose grinding-machine operators, such as those who work on drill grinders and thread grind­ ers.  Operates one or more boring machines that drill, mill, or bore castings, forgings, or other type of machined part. Boring machines may differ as to the type of construction (horizontal or vertical); the type of alignment or blocking required; and the type of machine tools needed. Drill-press operator, radial (SOC 7318: Drilling and boring machine setup opera­ tors) (soc 7518: Drilling and boring machine operators and tenders)  Milling-machine operator (SOC 7313: Milling and planing machine setup opera­ tors) (SOC 7513: Milling and planing machine operators and tenders)  Operates one or more type of radial-drilling machines that drill, ream, countersink, counterbore, spot-face, or tap holes into large heavy metal parts. Radial drills com­ monly have a movable tool head and saddle attached to an arm projecting from a vertical column. To maximize the number of positions which can be drilled, the tool head and saddle can slide along the arm, and the arm can be ad­ justed along the vertical shaft.  Operates a milling machine (automatic or hand) that grooves, planes, or shapes metal objects by removing ma­ terial from surfaces using multi-toothed rotating cutters. Milling machines vary from manual (hand) control to con­ veyor-fed (automatic) machines. For wage survey pur­ poses, operators of single-purpose milling machines, such as thread milling, duplicating, diesinking, pantograph milling, and engraving, are excluded.  Drill-press operator, spindle (SOC 7318: Drilling and boring machine setup opera­ tors) (SOC 7518: Drilling and boring machine operators and tenders)  Screw-machine operator, automatic (soc 7312: Lathe and turning machine setup operators) (SOC 7512: Lathe and turning machine operators and tenders)  Operates one or more types of spindle drill press that drill, ream, countersink, counterbore, spot-face, or tap holes into metal parts. Spindle drills may differ as to the number of spindles (single or multiple), but typically are mounted permanently on a table which is raised or low­ ered in order to machine the workpiece positioned over­ head.  Operates one or more screw machines (single- or multi­ ple-spindle) that automatically repeat a cycle of turning operations on each piece of bar or tube stock that is auto­ matically fed into the machine.  Engine-lathe operator (SOC 7312: Lathe and turning machine setup operators) (SOC 7512: Lathe and turning machine operators and tenders)  Shaper operator (SOC 7312: Lathe and turning machine setup operators) (SOC 7512: Lathe and turning machine operators and tenders)   https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  79  Operates one or more machines that shape, slot, or con­ tour castings or other metal parts.  Machine-tool operators, toolroom, working on flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) or in CNC and NC machining centers, should be considered as working on multiple ma­ chine tools. For wage survey purposes, workers are classified as fol­ lows:  Miscellaneous machine-tool operator (SOC 7329: Miscellaneous metalworking and plastic working machine setup operators) (SOC 7529: Miscellaneous metalworking and plastic working machine operators and tenders)  Operates one type of machine tool: Automatic-lathe operator Boring-machine operator Drill-press operator, radial Drill-press operator, spindle Engine-lathe operator Grinding-machine operator Milling-machine operator Other toolroom machine  Operates one or more nonportable, power-driven ma­ chine tools not specifically listed, but meeting the general definition of a production machine-tool operator. For wage survey purposes, workers who specialize in one type of machine tool, such as gear-cutting, gear-finishing, plan­ ing, or other type of metal-cutting machine are included in this classification, as are workers who alternately work on more than one of the individual machine tools listed. Workers who operate bench lathes or single-purpose mill­ ing machines are excluded.  Operates multiple machine tools Machinist, production (SOC 6813: Machinists)  Machine-tool operator, toolroom (SOC 7329: Miscellaneous metalworking and plastic working machine setup operators) (SOC 7529: Miscellaneous metalworking and plastic working machine operators and tenders)  (All-round machinist; custom machinist) Fabricates complete metal parts, mechanisms, or ma­ chines by progressively machining, fitting, and assembling parts and equipment as the end product of the establish­ ment.

In general, the machinist’s work normally requires rounded training in machine-shop practice usually acquired through a formal apprenticeship or equivalent training and experience.  Specializes in operating one or more types of machine tools (e.g., jig-boring machine, grinding machine, engine lathe, or other machine tool, including computer-numeri­ cal-control and numerical-control) that machine metal for use in making or maintaining jigs, fixtures, cutting tools, gauges, or metal dies or molds used to shape or form metal or other material (e.g., plastic, plaster, rubber, or glass). Toolroom operators typically plan and perform a wide va­ riety of difficult machining operations which require com­ plicated setups and a high degree of accuracy. They install cutting tools; adjust guides, stops, work tables, and other controls to handle the size of stock to be machined; deter­ mine the proper feeds, speeds, tooling, and operation se­ quence, or use those prescribed in drawings, blueprints, or layouts; use a variety of precision-measuring instruments; and make necessary adjustments during machining opera­ tion to obtain the requisite dimensions of very close toler­ ances. Workers also may select the proper coolants and lu­ bricating oils to be used. In general, the work of a machinetool operator, toolroom, at the skill level required for this classification entails extensive knowledge of machine shop and toolroom practice usually acquired through consider­ able on-the-job training and experience. This occupation includes operators who construct ma­ chine-shop tools, dies, gauges, jigs, or fixtures for sale as the end product of the establishment, as well as operators engaged in producing or maintaining these items for use within the establishment. In general, most machine-tool operators in establishments classified in SIC 3544 will be classified as machine-tool operators, toolroom.  https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis  Polisher and buffer, metal (SOC 7522: Grinding, abrading, buffing, and polishing machine operators and tenders) Polishes or buffs various metal objects using any of a va­ riety of portable polishers or buffers, or by holding work­ piece against the wheels or straps of stationary polishing or buffing machines to produce a smooth surface or a high luster. Work involves attaining a smooth finish; removing flaws and machine marks; maintaining the proper con­ tour, radius, and shape, while obtaining the requisite di­ mensions of close tolerances; selecting the proper wheels, belts, abrasives, and polishing compounds; and setting up and maintaining the equipment.
