In addition to construction, private yards also repaired, 7,600 ships in 1976; this type of work, which includes both commercial and naval ships, was valued at approximately $1.4 billion. In eleven private shipyards, there were also 8 8 naval vessels under construction or on order as of January 1, 1977. (New ships presently are not built in U.S. Navy shipyards.) Twenty-seven were attack submarines, 25 were destroyers, 1 2 were guided missile frigates, and the remaining were divided among nine other types of craft, including two nuclear aircraft carriers. In relative size, each of the two nuclear aircraft carriers will displace’ 71,000 tons con trasted with 27 attack submarines which had an average dis placement of 6 , 0 0 0 tons. Besides construction of large merchant and naval vessels, U.S. private shipyards also are engaged in other types of marine work. Ten yards, as of January 1,1 9 7 7 , were making offshore drilling rigs; some facilities only repair ships; and others build small vessels under 1 , 0 0 0 tons such as fishing boats and small barges. Over the past year shipbuilding has declined for merchant vessels, but has increased for navy ships. Under construction as of January 1,1976, were 79 merchant vessels compared with 71 as of January 1, 1977. Only 15 merchant vessels totaling 327,000 tons were ordered in 1976 and 14 totaling 599,000 tons in 1975 contrasted with 43 merchant vessels grossing 2,018,000 tons ordered in 1973 and 25 vessels grossing 1,771,000 tons in 1974. The 8 8 naval ships being built as of January 1,1977 were 12 more than in the previous year. Since 2 to 3 years are required to design and build a large modern ship, considerable concern has been expressed about the utili zation of yard capacity after 1977. Summary Straight-time earnings o f production and related workers in the private shipbuilding and repairing industry averaged $5.66 an hour in September 1976.1 Earnings o f 94 percent of the 104,015 production workers within the scope of the survey— those in shipyards with at least 250 workers— were between $4 and $7.50 an hour. Regionally, workers in shipyards at Atlantic ports, slightly over two-fifths of the work force, averaged $5.55 an hour. Averages in the other ports were $5.26 on the Gulf Coast, $5.56 on the Great Lakes, and $6.83 for shipyard workers on the Pacific Coast. Nationwide, averages among the jobs selected for sepa rate study ranged from $4.34 for guards to $6.58 for loft workers. The largest group of workers studied, 8,514 shipfitters, averaged $6.09 an hour. Virtually all workers covered by the survey were employed by shipyards having provisions for paid holidays and paid vacations, and about 95 percent or more of the employers paid at least part of the cost of life, hospitaliza tion, surgical, basic medical, and major medical insurance; and retirement pension plans. Industry characteristics This survey of private shipyards covered establishments building and repairing all types of ships, barges, and lighters, whether propelled by motor or towed. Included were yards converting and altering ships, but excluded from the survey were ( 1 ) separate auxiliary units; ( 2 ) establishments fabrica ting structural assemblies; (3) subcontractors; and (4) U.S. Navy shipyards.2 Approximately 104,000 production and related workers were employed in shipyards covered by the September 1976 survey. Just over four-tenths of the work ers were employed at Atlantic Coast yards, three-tenths on the Gulf Coast, one-sixth on the Pacific, and 3 percent on the Great Lakes. The remaining workers were found mostly in yards on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The 78 yards within scope of the survey had total employment of 142,000 and averaged 1,334 production workers. E m p lo ym en t. Union c o n tra c t status. Nine-tenths of the production workers were employed in establishments which had collec tive bargaining agreements covering a majority of the workers in a yard. Most nonunion workers were employed at Gulf Coast yards. Nationwide, union yards averaged 1,665 production workers; nonunion yards, 489 workers. The two principal unions were the International Brotherhood Shipyards with large drydocks frequently construct and repair both merchant and naval vessels. Other yards may specialize in construction or repair. As of January 1, 1977, there were 71 merchant vessels weighing at least 1 , 0 0 0 gross tons each under construction in 18 private shipyards.3 Thrity-one of these were oil P rodu ction . 1 E arnings data in th is rep o rt e x c lu d e p rem iu m p a y fo r o v e rtim e and for w o r k o n w e e k e n d s , h o lid a y s, an d la te s h ifts .

The 35 occupations selected to represent worker skills and manufacturing operations in the industry accounted for three-fifths of the production work force. Nationwide, averages among these jobs ranged from $4.34 for guards to $6.58 for loft workers— who lay out ship plans and construct patterns, such as templates and molds. Shipfitters (8,514), who lay out, fabricate, and brace metal structural parts in position within the hull of the ship, made up the largest group of workers studied and averaged $6.09 an hour (table 2 ). Among regions, averages were almost always highest on the Pacific Coast. Differences in occupational earnings between the Great Lakes, Gulf Coast, and Atlantic ports were slight and no consistent pattern could be found. Occupational averages in Pacific ports in most cases exceed ed those in other ports by 20 to 30 percent. Nationwide averages for craft or skilled jobs associated with direct production ranged from $5.99 an hour for marine electricians to $6.58 for loft workers. Lower averages were recorded for most lesser skilled “class B” jobs; for example, 5,683 class B hand welders averaged $5.72 an hour. Painters (rough) and grinders-chippers— two semiskilled occupations— averaged $5.96 and $5.90 an hour, respectively. Averages for the seven skilled maintenance occupations presented in table 2 ranged from $6.18 an hour for tool-anddie makers to $5.65 for carpenters. The 583 electricians, the most populous job studied in the maintenance group, averaged $5.81 an hour. Maintenance trades-helpers earned $4.90 an hour. Crane operator, was the predominant material movement and service job studied, averaged $6.18 an hour. Electric bridge-traveling crane and gantry crane operators, account ing for 31 and 24 percent of the 1,712 operators, averaged $6.00 an hour and $6.15, respectively. Among other jobs in the material movement/service groups, averages ranged from $5.80 for power truck operators to $4.96 for janitors and $4.34 for guards. of Boilermakers, Iron Shipbuilders, Blacksmiths, Forgers and Helpers, and the Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuilding Workers. M e th o d o f w age p a y m e n t. Almost all workers were paid on a time basis under formal systems (table 8 ). Approximately seven-tenths of the production workers were employed in yards that paid single rates for individual occupations and slightly less than three-tenths had formal range-of-rate plans within occupations. The few incentive workers reported— under piecework plans— were all employed in Atlantic Coast yards. Earnings The 104,015 shipyard workers averaged $5.66 an hour in September 1976 (table l ) . 4 Individual earnings of 94 percent were between $4 and $7.50 an hour; the middle 50 percent of the workers in the array had rates between $5.12 and $6.29 (text table 1).

Earnings of shipbuilding workers were concentrated within a relatively narrowband compared to other industries surveyed by the Bureau o f Labor Statistics. The index of dispersion (middle range divided by the median) — 2 1 for shipbuilding— was below the index for all but about a half dozen of the 70 industries in the Bureau’s wage program. Major factors contributing to clustering o f earnings in this industry are the predominance of single rate pay systems, the highly unionized work force, and the relatively small wage differences among occupations. Tables 3 thru 7 provide occupational distributions of workers by hourly earnings for the United States and the four selected ports. Within the same occupation and region, pay rates were highly concentrated. For example, 1,376 of the 2,563 shipfitters at Gulf ports earned between $6.40 and $6.60 an hour. Moreover, on the Pacific Coast, job earnings were grouped principally within two intervals— $5.60 to $5.80 and $7.40 to $7.60— regardless of occupation. 4 S tra ig h t-tim e average h o u r ly e arn in gs o f p r o d u c tio n w o rk ers in th is b u lle tin d iffer in c o n c e p t fr o m th e gross average h o u rly earn ings p u b lish e d in th e B u r ea u ’s m o n th ly H o u rs a n d E arn in gs ( $ 6 .0 7 in S e p tem b e r 1 9 7 6 ) .

Vacation schedules varied among regions, especially after longer periods of service. After 25 years, for example, almost all workers on the Pacific Coast and about three-fourths on the Gulf Coast received under 4 weeks whereas 4 weeks or more applied to at least one-half in Atlantic and Great Lakes ports. Data were als obtained on certain establishment practicesand supplementary wage benefits for production workers, including work schedules, shift differentials, hazard pay, sea-trial pay, paid holidays, paid vacations, and specified health, insurance, and retirement plans. W ork schedules. Ninety-four percent of the production workers were in yards where work schedules of 40 hours were predominant (table 9). The remaining 6 percent, em ployed in Gulf Coast yards, had longer schedules. H ealth , insurance, an d re tire m e n t plans. Life, hospitalization, surgical, basic medical, and major medical insurance were provided to over nine-tenths of the shipyard workers (table 17). For a majority of the workers, employers financed the entire cost of these plans. Employers also provided ac cidental death and dismemberment insurance to nearly two-thirds of their workers and sickness and accident insurance to about seven-tenths. There was little regional variation in the incidence of benefits, except for accidental death and dismemberment, and sickness and accident insurance. Coverage of accidential death and dismember ment insurance ranged from nearly one-half the workers on the Atlantic Coast to over nine-tenths on the Pacific. At least three-fifths benefited from employer-sponsored sickness and accident insurance in each region except the Pacific Coast Ninty-five percent of the production workers were covered by pension plans in addition to Federal social security. In three of the four ports shown separately, almost all plans were paid for entirely by the yard; employer-financed plans covered only one-fourth of the Gulf Coast workers under pension plans. S h ift p ro visio n s a n d practices. Virtually all production workers were in establishments with late-shift provisions which called for differential payments (table 10). Only one-fifth of the workers, however, were actually on second shifts in September 1976 and slightly less than one-tenth had third- or other late-shift assignments (table 11). Shift differentials varied by region. Cents-per-hour additions to first-shift rates were most prevalent at Gulf and Great Lakes ports whereas percent differentials were popular on the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts. Nationwide, about threetenths of the workers on second shifts received a 7-percent premium above day-shift rates and another three-tenths were paid a 15 or 20 cent differential; similar provisions typically covered third- or other late-shift work. H azard a n d sea-trial p a y . Nearly two-thirds o f the workers were in yards that had formal provisions for hazard pay and for sea-trial pay (tables 12 and 14). Blit only 2 percent of the workers were granted such hazard pay during September 1976 (table 13), while only one yard actually provided sea-trial pay during the payroll period studied. O th er se le c te d b en efits. Nine-tenths of the production workers were employed in yards that had formal provisions for call-in and report-in pay (table 18).5 Other widespread provisions included paid jury-duty leave— available to approximately three-fourths of the workers— and cost-ofliving pay adjustments— covering six-tenths. About onethird of the workers were in establishments that had provisions for dental insurance and for paid funeral leave. P aid h olidays. Nearly all shipyards provided paid holidays, usually 10 or 11 days a year (table 15). Among the regions, the most popular provisions were 11 days on the Atlantic Coast, 10 days on the Gulf Coast, 9 days on the Great Lakes, and 8 days on the Pacific Coast. Paid vacations. All shipyards granted paid vacations, usually 1 week of pay after 1 year of service, 2 weeks after 3 years, at 5 3 For d e fin itio n o f ite m s , see a p p e n d ix B. Table 1.

U.S. Navy Shipyards rates are adjusted annually in line with prevailing rates among private employers in each geographic area. Each grade has five longevity pay steps. Table A-l compares occupations and their grade level in U.S. Navy yards with BLS job titles in the private .shipyard survey. Table A-2 provides the Wage Board Schedule for nonsupervisory workers for each of the seven Navy facilities. In addition to straight-time pay rates in table A-2, workers also receive the same supplementary benefits as those provided to General Schedule (white-collar) workers.1 Navy shipyard workers also may receive hazard pay, shift differentials, and premium pay for overtime, holiday, and Sunday work. Survey data in the main body of this bulletin relate to private shipyards. The U.S. Navy, which operates seven shipyards in the conterminous United States, employed 59,800 civilians in September 1976. The three yards on the West Coast (Puget Sound, San Francisco, and Los Angeles) had 27,300 workers; Norfolk and Charleston on the southern Atlantic Coast had 18,800 workers; and the northern Atlantic yards (Philadelphia and Portsmouth) employed 13,700. In addition, the Navy has a large facility in Hawaii with approximately 5,500 workers. Most of the work in Navy yards is repairing and major converting of vessels whereas new ships are constructed in private yards under contract. Pay rates for civilian trade, maintenance, and service workers (blue-collar) of Navy shipyards (as well as for other U.S. Government agencies) are set in accordance with pro visions o f the Federal Wage System (5 U.S.C. 5341-534a). This system provides for common job grading standards and pay policies among U.S. Government agencies. Pay 1 For a description of supplementary wage benefits provided Federal employees under the General Schedule, see Wage Chronology: Federal Employees Under the General Schedule Pay System, July 1924-October 1974 (BLS Bulletin 1870, 1975), and its supplement covering 1975. 20 Table A-1.

Scope and Method of Survey Scope of survey and com position o f the industry’s labor force, rather than as precise measures o f employment. T he survey included establishments primarily engag ed in building and repairing all types o f ships, barges, and lighters, whether propelled by sail or motor pow er or tow ed by other crafts (SIC 3731 as defined in the 1967 edition o f the S ta n d a r d I n d u s tr ia l C la ssifica tio n M a n u a l prepared by the U.S. O ffice o f Management and Budget). Included in the industry were yards converting and altering ships. Excluded from the survey were (1) Separate auxiliary units such as central offices; (2) establishments fabricating structural assemblies o f com ponents for ships; (3) subcontractors engaged in ship painting, joinery, carpentry, electrical and electronic work; and (4) U.S. N avy shipyards. Establishments studied were selected from those em ploying 250 workers or more at the time o f refer ence o f the data used in com piling the universe lists. Table B -l show s the number o f establishments and workers estimated to be within the scope o f the survey, as w ell as the number actually studied by the Bureau. Production workers The terms “production workers”and “production and related workers,’’used interchangeably in this bul letin, include working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers engaged in nonoffice activities. Admini strative, executive, professional, and technical person nel, and force-account construction em ployees, w ho are used as a separate work force on the firm’s ow n properties, are excluded. Occupational classification Occupational classification was based on a uniform set o f job descriptions designed to take account o f interestablishment and interarea variations in duties within the same job. (See appendix C for these descrip tions.) T he criteria for selection o f the occupations were: The number o f workers in the occupation; the usefulness o f the data in collective bargaining; and appropriate representation o f the entire job scale in the industry. Working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handicapped, part-time, tem porary, and probationary workers were not reported in the data for selected occupations but were included in the data for all production workers. Method of study Data were obtained by personal visits o f the Bureau’s field staff to a representative sample o f establishments within the scope o f the survey. T o obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion o f large than o f small establishments was studied. A ll estimates are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industry, excluding only those below the minimum size at the time o f reference o f the universe data. Wage data Information on wages relates to straight-time hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Incentive payments, such as those resulting from piecew ork or production bonus systems, and cost-of-living bonuses w ere included as part o f the workers’ regular pay. Nonproduction bonus payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded. A v era g e (m ea n ) h o u rly ra te s o r earn in gs for each occupation or category o f workers, such as production 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. T he hourly earnings o f salaried workers Establishment definition A n establishment is defined for this study as a single physical location where manufacturing operations are performed. A n establishment is not necessarily identical w ith a company, w hich may consist o f one establishment or more. Employment Estimates o f the number o f workers within the scope o f the study are intended as a general guide to the size 23 Table B-1.

Includes data for other ports in addition to those shown separately. Alaska and Hawaii were not included in the study. Shift, hazard, and sea trial pay provisions and practices w ere obtained by dividing straight-time salary by normal (or standard) hours to w hich the salary corresponds. Provisions relate to the policies o f establishments either currently operating late shifts or having formal provisions covering such work. Practices relate to workers em ployed on late shifts or receiving hazard or sea trial pay at the time o f the survey. Method of wage payment Tabulations by method o f w age payment relate to the number o f workers paid under the various time and incentive w age systems. Formal rate structures for time-rated workers provide single rates or a range o f rates for individual job categories. In the absence o f a formal rate structure, pay rates are determined primari ly by the qualifications o f the individual worker. A single rate structure is one in w hich the same rate is paid to all experienced workers in the same job classification. Learners, apprentices, or probationary workers may be paid according to rate schedules w hich Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions Supplementary benefits in an establishment were considered applicable to all production workers if they applied to half or more o f such workers in the start below the single rate and permit the workers to establishment. Similarly, if fewer than half of the achieve the full job rate over a period o f time. An experienced worker occasionally may be paid above or below the single rate for special reasons, but such payments are exceptions. Range-of-rate plans are those in w hich the minimum, maximum, or both o f these rates paid experienced workers for the same job are speci fied. Specific rates o f individual workers within the range may be determined by merit, length o f service, or a combination o f these. Incentive workers are classified under piecew ork or bonus plans. Piecew ork is work for w hich a predetermined rate is paid for each unit o f output. Production bonuses are for production in excess o f a quota or for com pletion o f a task in less than standard time. workers were covered, the benefit was considered nonexistent in the establishment. Because o f length-ofservice and other eligibility requirements, the propor tion o f workers receiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated. P a id holidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day and half-day holidays provided annually. T he summary o f vacation plans is limited to formal arrangements and exclude informal plans whereby time o ff w ith pay is granted at the discretion o f the em ployer or 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 o f 1 w eek’s pay.

Sepa rate tabulations are provided for (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans providing either partial pay or a waiting period. Long-term disability insurance plans provide pay ments to totally disabled em ployees upon the expiration o f sick leave, sickness and accident insurance, or both, or after a specified period o f disability (typically 6 months). Payments are made until the end o f disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Payments may be full or partial, but are almost always reduced by social security, workers’ compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled em ployee. M edical insurance refers to plans providing for com plete or partial payment o f doctors’ fees. Such plans may be underwritten by a com mercial insurance com pany or a nonprofit organization, or they may be a form o f self-insurance.

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 permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on inter-establishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field staff is instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handcapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
