Industry W age Survey—
Paints and Varnishes, May 1961
Summary
The earnings of production workers in paints and varnishes manufacturing
establishments averaged $ 2. 23 an hour in May 1961, exclusive of premium pay
for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts, according to
a survey conducted by the Bureau of Labor S tatistics.1 Earnings of the middle
half of the estimated 28, 340 production workers within the scope of the survey
ranged from $ 1 . 9 3 to $ 2 . 5 5 an hour.
Men, comprising about 95 percent of the
workers, averaged $ 2. 25 an hour, compared with $ 1. 78 for women.
Among the eight regions 2 for which separate data are presented, average
hourly earnings were highest in the Pacific ($ 2. 59) and lowest in the South­
east ( $ 1 . 68) .
The highest average earnings among the 18 labor markets studied
separately were recorded in San Francisco—Oakland ( $2. 80) and the lowest in
Atlanta and Baltimore (both $ 1.73).
Among the occupations selected for study, nationwide average earnings
ranged from $ 2 . 0 1 an hour for labelers and packers to $ 2 . 5 7 for technicians.
F illers and m ixers, numerically the most important jobs studied, averaged $ 2 . 0 7
and $ 2. 24, respectively.
The study provides separate tables of occupational wage data by size of
establishment and by labor-management contract coverage.
Information was also
developed on hours of work, shift differentials, and selected supplementary bene­
fits, such as paid holidays and vacations, and health, insurance, and pension
plans for production workers.
Industry Characteristics
The paints and varnishes industry, which includes establishments p ri­
m arily engaged in manufacturing paints (in paste and ready-m ixed form ), v a r­
nishes, lacquers, enamels, and shellac, is located principally in the Great Lakes
and Middle Atlantic regions.
Approximately one-third and three-tenths, re sp ec­
tively, of the production workers within the scope of the survey were employed
in these regions; one-tenth were in the Pacific region, and the remainder were
fairly evenly distributed among the other five regions for which data are shown
in the tables.
More than nine-tenths of the industry* s workers were employed in m et­
ropolitan a r e a s . 3 Two-thirds of the workers were in the 18 areas studied
separately, with the largest numbers in Chicago, Newark and Jersey City,
Philadelphia, and Los Angeles—Long Beach.
Approximately one-half of the pro­
duction workers were employed in establishments with fewer than 100 workers;
very few plants had as many as 500 workers.
About two-thirds of the workers
in the Great Lakes region were employed in plants with 100 or more workers.

1 See appendix A for scope and method of survey; also, for definition of
production workers as used in this study.
2 For definition of regions and areas used in this report, see table in
appendix A, footnotes 1 and 2.
3 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U. S. Bureau
of the Budget.

2
Establishments with collective bargaining agreements covering a majority
of their production workers accounted for about two-thirds of the industry^ work
force.
Approximately three-fourths of the workers in the Middle Atlantic region
and two-thirds in the Great Lakes region were employed in plants with such con­
tract coverage.
The major unions in the industry were the Brotherhood of
Painters, Decorators, and Paperhangers of A m erica, and the Oil, Chemical and
Atomic Workers International Union (both A F L -C IO ).
However, a substantial
number of workers were employed in establishments having contracts with other
unions, including the United Mine Workers of A m erica (Ind.) and other inde­
pendent unions.
Women represented approximately 5 percent of the production workers
in the industry.
They were most commonly employed in filling containers with
the finished products, and in labeling and packing the containers into boxes or
cartons.
Incentive wage plans were rarely found in this industry— only about 2 p er­
cent of the production workers were paid on this basis.
Nearly one-half of the
tim e-rated workers were paid on the basis of form al rate structures which pro­
vided single rates for the respective job categories and one-fifth were paid on
the basis of a formal range of rates for an occupation.
The pay of the r e ­
maining workers was determined on the basis of their individual qualifications.
Average Hourly Earnings
Production workers in paints and varnishes manufacturing establishments
averaged $ 2 . 2 3 an hour in May 1961, exclusive of premium pay for overtime
and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts (table 1).
The estimated
26, 819 men in the industry averaged $ 2 . 2 5 , compared with $ 1 . 7 8 forothe 1, 521
women. In both the Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic regions, production workers*
earnings averaged $ 2 . 2 7 an hour.
The highest regional average was recorded
in the Pacific region ($ 2. 59) and the lowest in the Southeast ($ 1. 68).
Individual earnings ranged from $ 1 to more than $ 3 . 5 0 an hour with
7 percent receiving less than $ 1. 50 and 4 percent receiving $ 3 or more (table 2).
The middle half of the workers in the industry as a whole had earnings within
a range of $ 1 . 9 3 to $ 2 . 5 5 ; this interquartile range was from $ 1 . 9 5 to $ 2 . 6 0 in
the Middle Atlantic region, from $ 2. 04 to $ 2. 54 in the Great Lakes region, and
from $ 2 . 4 1 to $ 2. 7 8 an hour in the Pacific region.
Average hourly earnings in excess of the national average of $ 2. 23 were
recorded in 9 of the IB areas studied separately (Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit,
Kansas City, Los Angeles—Long Beach, Newark and Jersey City, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, and San Francisco—Oakland).
The differences ranged from 3 cents
above the national average in Chicago to 57 cents above in San Francisco—Oakland.
In the other nine areas, earnings averaged from 1 cent to 50 cents below the
national level.
Average hourly earnings were higher in establishments employing 100 or
more workers than in smaller establishments, and higher in establishments in
which a majority of the workers were covered by labor-management contracts
than in plants where none or a minority were covered by such contracts.
In considering the differences noted in the preceding paragraphs, and in
the later discussion of occupational earnings, it must be emphasized that the exact
influence of any one characteristic cannot be fully isolated. Size of establishment,
unionization, method of wage payment, size and location of community, and
possibly other ch rracteristics, may all play a role in the determination of wage
levels. In a study such as this, their separate influence cannot be isolated.



3
Occupational Earnings
The occupational classifications for which data are presented in table 3
accounted for three-fifths of the production and related workers within the scope
of the survey.
Nationwide, average hourly earnings for these occupations ranged
from $ 2 . 0 1 for labelers and p ack ers4 to $ 2 . 5 7 for technicians.
Tinters and
varnish makers also averaged more than $ 2. 50 an hour.
F ille rs, hand or m a ­
chine, and m ixers, numerically the m ost important jobs studied, had average
hourly earnings of $ 2. 07 and $ 2. 24, respectively.
In the Middle Atlantic region, average hourly earnings ranged from $2. 01
for hand or machine fillers and $ 2 . 0 4 for labelers and packers to $ 2 . 6 1 for
varnish makers and $ 2 . 6 2 for tinters.
Labelers and packers had the lowest
average hourly earnings ($2) in the Great Lakes region and tinters the highest
($ 2. 58) among the occupations studied.
Occupational average hourly earnings were, in nearly all instances,
highest in the Pacific region and lowest in the Southeast, the differences generally
amounting to 75 cents or m ore.
Average earnings for most occupations in the
Middle Atlantic, Great Lakes, and Middle West regions were above the national
averages; in the New England, Border States, and Southwest regions, occupational
averages generally were below the national levels.
Average hourly earnings for most occupational groups were higher in
establishments employing 100 or more workers than in sm aller plants (table 4).
Workers in the selected occupations in establishments where a majority were
covered by collective bargaining agreements generally had higher average hourly
earnings than workers in establishments where none or a minority were covered
by such contracts (table 5).
Among the 18 areas studied separately, occupational average earnings
in nearly all cases were highest in San Francisco—Oakland and most commonly
were lowest in Atlanta,
Baltimore, or Houston. (See tables 6—23.)
In San
Francisco—Oakland, average hourly earnings for the m en's occupations studied
ranged from $ 2 . 4 9 for janitors to $ 3 . 2 9 for general utility maintenance men.
In contrast, the only occupations in Atlanta for which average hourly earnings
exceeded $ 2 were general utility maintenance men ($ 2. 29), paint testers ($ 2. 01),
and tinters ($ 2. 02).
The difference between the highest and lowest area averages
for most occupations studied fell within a range of $ 1 to $ 1 . 1 5 .
Technicians or general utility maintenance men had the highest occupa­
tional average hourly earnings in most areas.
Janitors most commonly had the
lowest average earnings among the m en's occupations studied.
In all except 3 of
the 18 areas (Baltimore, Dallas, and New York City), the difference between the
highest and lowest occupational average earnings shown for men amounted to less
than $1 an hour; in 2 areas (Newark and Jersey City and Kansas City), the
difference was less than 50 cents.
Average hourly earnings of women labelers and packers in the 15 areas
for which data could be presented, ranged from $ 1. 43 in Houston and Philadelphia
and $ 1. 44 in Baltimore to $ 2. 46 in San Francisco—Oakland.
Since June 1952, when the Bureau made an occupational wage survey of
the industry in 1 2 areas, 5 average hourly earnings for a majority of the occupa­
tions for which comparisons could be made in these areas had increased by
45 or more percent.
4 Men in this occupation averaged $ 2. 1 2; and women, $ 1 . 7 5 an hour.
5 See "Earnings in Paint and Varnish Industry, June 1952, n Monthly Labor
Review, November 1952, pp. 519—521.




4
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Data were also obtained on work schedules and supplementary benefits
including paid holidays and vacations, retirement plans, life insurance, sickness
and accident insurance, hospitalization, and surgical and medical benefits for
production workers.
Scheduled Weekly Hours and Shift P ra c tic e s.— A work schedule of
40 hours a week was in effect in establishments employing 93 percent of the
production workers in May 1961.
This was the schedule for nine-tenths or more
of the workers in 5 of the 8 regions and in all except 4 of the 18 areas for which
data are presented in table 24.
Approximately 7 percent of the workers were employed on second-shift
operations during the payroll period studied (table 26).
The differentials paid
these workers varied greatly, but most commonly amounted to 10 cents an hour
above day-shift rates.
Third-shift operations accounted for 2 percent of the
w orkers.
Paid Holida y s .— Paid holidays were provided nearly all production
workers.
The most common provisions were 6, 7, or 8 days annually, with
additional half days in several instances (table 27).
A majority of the workers
in New England, two-fifths in the Middle Atlantic, and about one-third in the
Pacific region received 9 or more days.
Paid V acations.— All production workers studied were eligible for paid
vacations after qualifying periods of service.
Three-fourths received 1 week
after 1 year, four-fifths received 2 weeks after 3 years, and almost three-tenths
received 4 weeks after 25 years of service (table 28).
The proportion of workers
employed in establishments providing 1 week after 1 year ranged from 60 percent
in the Middle Atlantic to 85 percent in the Southwest region.
Three weeks or
more of vacation after 15 years of service were provided 26 percent of the
workers in the Southeast, compared with more than 80 percent of the workers
in the Middle Atlantic, Great Lakes, Middle West, and Pacific regions.
Health, Insurance, and Pension P lan s.— Life, hospitilization, and su r­
gical insurance, for which employers paid at least part of the cost, were availa­
ble to approximately nine-tenths of the production workers in the industry
(table 29).
Sickness and accident insurance and medical insurance were also
provided to almost two-thirds and accidental death and dismemberment insurance
to one-half of the workers.
Retirement pensions (other than benefits available under Federal
old-age, survivors, and disability insurance) were provided by establishments
employing almost two-thirds of the production workers.
Nonproduction Bonuses. — Alm ost two-fifths of the production workers
were employed in establishments which provided nonproduction bonuses, usually
paid at Christmas or yearend (table 30).

Appendix A: Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of Survey
The survey included establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing paints,
varnishes, lacquers, enamels, and shellac (industry 2851 as defined in the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, 1957 edition, prepared by the U.S. Bureau of the Budget).
Separate auxiliary units such as central offices and warehouses were excluded.
The establishments studied were selected from those employing eight or more
workers at the time of reference of the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The number of establishments and workers actually studied by the Bureau, as well
as the number estimated to be in the industry during the payroll period studied, are shown
in the table below.

36
Method of Study
Data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists under the direction
of the Bureau's Assistant Regional Directors for Wages and Industrial Relations.
The survey
was conducted on a sample basis.
To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a
greater proportion of large than of small establishments was studied.
In combining the data,
however, all establishments were given their appropriate weight.
All estimates are
presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industry group, excluding only
those below the minimum size at the time of reference of the universe data.
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 of one or more establishments.
Employment
The 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 labor force included in the survey.
The advance planning necessary to make a wage survey requires the use of lists of estab­
lishments assembled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied.
Production Workers
The term "production w o r k e r s," as used in this report, 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 of job descriptions designed
to take account of inter establishment and interarea variations in duties within the same job.
(See appendix B for these job descriptions.) The occupations were chosen for their numerical
importance, their usefulness in collective bargaining, or their representativeness of the
entire job scale in the industry.
Working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners,
trainees, handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers were not reported
in the data for selected occupations, but were included in the data for all production workers.
Wage Data
The wage information relates to average 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-livin g bonuses, were included as part of the workers' regular pay; but nonproduction
bonus payments, such as Christmas or year end bonuses, were excluded. The hourly earnings
of salaried workers were obtained by dividing straight-time salary by normal rather than
actual h o u rs.6
Comparison with Other Statistics
The straight-time hourly earnings presented in this report differ in concept from
the gross average hourly earnings published in the Bureau's Monthly Hours and Earnings
Series.
Unlike the latter, the estimates presented here exclude premium pay for overtime
and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
In addition, establishments in this
survey are weighted in accordance with their probability of selection from a regional estab­
lishment size class and average earnings are calculated from the weighted data by summing
individual hourly earnings and dividing by the number of such individuals.
In the monthly
series, the sum of the man-hour totals reported by establishments in the industry is divided
into the reported payroll totals.
The results from the monthly series give a greater weight
to large establishments because of the nature of the sample.
6 Average hourly rates or earnings for each occupation or other group of workers,
such as men, women, or production workers, were obtained by weighting each rate (or hourly
earnings) by the number of workers receiving the rate.




37
Labor-Management Agreements
Separate wage data are presented, where possible, for establishments with (1) a
majority of the production workers covered by labor-management contracts, and (2) none
or a minority of the production workers covered by labor-management contracts.
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Supplementary benefits and practices were treated statistically on the basis that
if formal provisions for supplementary benefits and practices were applicable to half or
more of the production workers in an establishment, the practices or benefits were con­
sidered applicable to all such workers.
Similarly, if fewer than half of the workers were
covered, the practice or 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 smaller than estimated.
Weekly Hours. — Data refer to the predominant work schedule for production workers
employed on the day shift, regardless of sex.
Shift Practices. — Data refer to the practices
shifts during the payroll period studied.
Paid Holidays. — Paid holiday provisions
provided annually.

of establishments

operating extra

relate to full-day and half-day holidays

Paid Vacations. — The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal arrangements,
excluding informal plans, whereby tim£ off with pay is granted at the discretion of the
employer or the 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 were selected as representative of the
most common practices, but they do not necessarily reflect individual establishment pro­
visions for progression.
For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 5 years of
service include changes in provisions which may have occurred after 4 years.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans. — Data are presented for all health, insurance,
and pension plans for which all or a part of the cost is borne by the employer, excluding
only programs required by law, such as workmen's compensation and social security.
Among the plans included are those underwritten by a commercial insurance company and
those paid directly 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 contributes
at least a part of the cost.
Tabulations of paid sick-leave plans are limited to formal 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 complete or partial payment of
doctors' fees.
Such plans may be underwritten by a commercial insurance company or a
nonprofit organization, or may be self-insured.
Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as extended medical insurance, in­
cludes the plans designed to cover employees in case of sickness or injury involving an ex­
pense which goes beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide upon retire­
ment regular payments for the remainder of the worker's life.
Nonproduction Bonuses. — Nonproduction bonuses are defined for this study as
bonuses that depend on factors other than the output of the individual worker or group of
workers.
Plans that defer payments beyond 1 year were excluded.







Appendix B: Occupational Descriptions
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 is essential in order to p e r­
mit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing
