Norwood, Commissioner October 1987 Bulletin 2288 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 P reface This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of wages and related benefits in the struc tural clay products industries conducted in October 1986. A similar survey was conducted in September 1980. Separate reports were issued in March 1987 for six regions of industry concentration and for selected industry branches in five States. (See appendix table A-l for the specific locations for which separate reports were prepared.) The study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations. Norma W. Carlson in the Division of Occupational Pay and Employee Benefit Levels planned the survey, reviewed and analyzed the survey data, and pre pared this bulletin. The Bureau’s field representatives obtained the data through personal visits to a probabilitybased sample of establishments within the scope of the survey. Fieldwork for the survey was directed by the Bureau’s Assistant Regional Commissioners for Operations. Other industry wage survey studies are listed at the end of this bulletin along with information on how to obtain them.

On the other hand, slightly less than three-fifths of the Middle West work force—highest paid among the regions—worked in clay refractory plants. Text table 1 shows that the average earnings differentials produced by cross-tabulation of data in table 1 differ con siderably from those derived by multiple regression—a tech nique used to isolate, to a considerable degree, the independent effects on earnings of individual wageinfluencing variables.3 For example, workers in the Middle West averaged 42 percent per hour more than their Southeast counterparts, but apparently only half of this differential is attributable solely to regional location. Similarly, the pay premiums associated with clay refractories and with plants operating under collective bargaining agreements are each much smaller when other factors are held constant than when corresponding earnings differences are computed by simple cross-tabulation (table 1); in contrast, small, cross-tabulated differentials (1 percent) associated with large plants (100 Earnings and benefits Straight-time earnings of production and related workers in structural clay products manufacturing industries averaged $7.41 an hour in October 1986 (table l) .1 The middle 50 percent of the approximately 23,500 production workers earned between $5.86 and $8.51; 95 percent earned between $4.00 and $12.00 (table 2). Regional and industry branch differentials contributed heavily to this relatively wide distribution of earnings (tables 3 through 5). The $7.41 aver age for all production workers in October 1986 was 26 percent higher than the $5.86 recorded by a previous survey in September 1980.2 This increase, averaging 4.0 percent annually, compares with an annual increase of 5.2 percent in the Bureau’s Employment Cost Index for durable goods manufacturing industries over the same period. One-eighth of the clay workers were in establishments that periodically adjust pay, using the BLS Consumer Price Index, for costof-living changes. Average earnings in October 1986 varied considerably among the seven regions for which separate data are available, ranging from $6.24 in the Southwest to $9.43 in the Middle West. In the Southeast, where three-tenths of the workers were employed, hourly earnings averaged $6.64. Averages in the other four regions fell between $7.00 and $8.50. Nationally, workers making clay refractories (firebrick and other heat-resistant products) averaged $9.80 an hour—45 percent more than their counterparts making brick and struc tural clay tile ($6.78), and 36 percent more than those producing ceramic floor and wall tile ($7.20). This relation ship held in the Southeast—the largest clay products center; in the Middle Atlantic, Great Lakes, and Pacific regions, where comparisons could be made, pay levels also were highest in refractories, but unlike the nationwide pattern, were lowest in ceramic wall and floor tile plants. Pay levels were mutually influenced by regional location and industrial composition. For example, one-half of the Text table 1.

Cost-of-living pay increases (but not bonuses) were included as part of the workers’ regular pay. Excluded were performance bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as profit-sharing payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or yearend bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. 2 See Industry Wage Survey: Structural Clay Products, September 1980, Bulletin 2139 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1982). Union to nonunion........................................... 3 For a general comparison of cross-tabulation and multiple regression, see Albert E. Schwenk and Martin E. Personick, “ Analyzing earnings differentials in industry wage surveys,” Monthly Labor Review, June 1974, pp. 56-59. For a similar comparison that specifically relates to this industry, see Industry Wage Survey, Structural Clay Products, September 1975, Bulletin 1942 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1977), Appendix A. 1 About one-fifth of the workers, nationwide, received incentive wages, usually paid on a piecework basis. Typi cally, they averaged between 20 and 40 percent an hour more than those in the same job who were paid on a time-rated basis (table 12). This relationship generally held in individual regions where time- and incentive-rated workers could be compared. The large majority of workers, it should be emphasized, were paid on a time-rated basis, typically under formal plans providing single rates for specified occupations (table 20). Virtually all of the establishments surveyed provided paid holidays and paid vacations to their production workers (tables 24 and 25). Slightly over one-third of the workers received 5, 6, or 7 paid holidays, three-tenths received 8 or 9 days, and almost three-tenths were provided with 10 or 11 days annually. (Small percentages of workers were granted fewer than 5 days or more than 11 days.) The most liberal holiday provisions were reported in the Middle West—about three-fifths of the workers received 11 days or more. Nationwide, typical vacation provisions included 1 week after 1 year of service, 2 weeks after 3 years, 3 weeks or more after 10 years, and at least 4 weeks after 20 years. Vacation provisions tended to be somewhat more generous for longer-service workers in the Middle Atlantic, where half the workers were granted at least 5 weeks of vacation pay after 25 years. Almost all clay workers were in establishments providing at least part of the cost of life, hospitalization, surgical, medical, and major medical insurance (table 26). About fourfifths were covered by accidental death and dismemberment insurance, protection against loss of income due to illness or an accident, and retirement plans; in contrast, about onefifth were covered by dental insurance plans, and long-term disability insurance plans applied to less than one-tenth of the workers. Most plans were financed entirely by employers. Nearly four-fifths of the production workers were in establishments providing time off with pay to attend funerals of immediate family members; and seven-tenths of the workers were compensated by their employer for time off to serve on a jury (table 27). On the other hand, less than one-tenth of the workers were covered by technological severance pay and supplemental unemployment benefits. workers or more) and with location in metropolitan areas4 understate somewhat the independent impact of each factor on the industries’ pay levels. Average hourly earnings for occupations selected to represent the industries’ wage structure, workers’ skills, and manufacturing operations are presented in table 6. Pay levels among these 31 jobs, which accounted for three-fifths of the production work force, ranged from $6.60 for janitors, porters, and cleaners and $6.62 for off-bearers to $10.31 for maintenance electricians and $10.32 for machinists.5 Powertruck operators, the largest job group studied separately, averaged $7.28. Occupational averages are presented in tables 7, 8, and 9 for the three industry branches studied separately. In brick and structural clay tile manufacturing plants, maintenance electricians recorded the highest hourly average ($8.95) and janitors, the lowest ($5.94). Electricians were also highest paid in ceramic wall and floor tile ($10.64) and in clay refrac tories ($11.62); lowest paid were tunnel kiln placers in wall and floor tile plants ($6.18) and kiln setters and drawers in refractories ($7.67). Occupational averages were nearly always highest in clay refractory plants and usually lowest in brick and structural clay tile plants. Tables 13-16 present earnings information for the brick and structural clay tile industry in four States, and tables 17-19 contain similar data for clay refractories in three States. Occupational pay relationships for each branch varied widely among the States studied. For example, in the brick and struc tural clay tile branch, off-bearers in Ohio earned, on average, 82 percent more than their Texas counterparts; the hourly pay levels for maintenance electricians, in contrast, were reversed—3 percent higher in Texas than in Ohio. Nationwide, for all structural clay products establishments, occupational averages were higher in union than in nonun ion plants even when limited to the same plant-size category (table 11). The union pay premium was especially evident for small plants (less than 100 workers), reflecting in part differences in staffing patterns by industry branch. For ex ample, clay refractories—the highest-paying branchaccounted for one-third of the 5,200 production workers in small, unionized clay products plants (whose production workers averaged $8.36 an hour) compared with slightly less than one-fifth of the 7,000 workers in large, unionized plants averaging $8.19 per hour. No consistent pattern emerged when comparing occupa tional pay levels for all clay products establishments by type of area (table 10). Of the 28 occupations permitting nation wide comparison, sixteen had higher pay averages in metropolitan areas than in nonmetropolitan areas. Although varying by individual occupation, these pay differentials typi cally were under 15 percent, as were differentials for the 12 occupations for which pay levels favored nonmetropolitan areas. Industry characteristics Structural clay products plants within the scope of the survey (those having 20 workers or more) employed 23,535 production and related workers in October 1986 (appendix table A-l). About half of the production workers were employed in establishments whose major products were brick and structural clay tile; three-tenths were in plants primarily making ceramic wall and floor tile; and slightly more than one-eighth were in plants chiefly producing clay refractories. The remaining workers were in plants manufacturing other clay products, such as roofing and sewer tile. 4 Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U.S. Office of Manage ment and Budget through June 1983. 5 See appendix B for occupational descriptions. 2 Text table 2. incidence of contracting out selected services in structural clay products establishments, October 1986 Production employment in the industries in October 1986 was down 10 percent from September 1980 and down 29 percent since September 1975, when similar clay studies were conducted. In 1986, three-fourths of the industries’ workers were concentrated in four regions—the Southeast (7,199 production workers), the Middle Atlantic (3,550), the South west (3,717) and the Great Lakes (3,139). By industry branch, the largest employment centers were the Southeast for brick and structural clay tile, the Middle Atlantic and Southeast for ceramic wall and floor tile, and the Middle West for clay refractories. Nationwide, the proportion of workers in metropolitan areas was four-fifths in ceramic wall and floor tile plants and three-fifths in each of the other two industry branches studied separately. Clay manufacturing plants are relatively small; the largest establishment covered by the survey employed fewer than 1,000 workers in October 1986. Fifteen of the 248 plants visited employed 250 workers or more. Large clay plants, those employing 100 production workers or more, account ed for one-fourth of the plants within the scope of the survey but for three-fifths of the industries’ work force. Forty-hour weekly work schedules applied to 93 percent of the industries’ production workers (table 21). Longer schedules applied to most of the remaining workers. Virtually all establishments had provisions for late shifts (table 22). In October 1986, 13 percent of the production workers were actually employed on second shifts and 5 percent on third shifts. Differentials varied widely, but were most commonly 10- to 25-cent-per-hour additions to day rates (table 23). Plants with a majority of production workers covered by labor-management agreements employed just over one-half of the work force. The Middle Atlantic and Middle West recorded the highest proportion of workers (three-fourths) in union plants while the Southwest recorded the lowest (onefourth). The proportion in the Southeast—the most heavily populated clay center—was slightly over two-fifths.

The use of temporary help and the contracting out of various services also was studied during the current survey. One-eighth of the production workers in structural clay products were in plants regularly using temporary help services in lieu of new hires. Text table 2 shows the contract services selected for separate study. Trucking was, by far, the activity most com monly contracted out—by plants employing nearly threefifths of the clay industries’ production work force. Plants contracting out machine maintenance, janitorial services, accounting work, computer processing, engineering/draft ing, and other services (e.g., guard and food) accounted for between one-tenth and one-fourth of the workers, depend ing on the service contracted. Secretarial work was seldom contracted out. 3 Table 1.

Scope and Method of Survey establishment is not necessarily identical with a company, which may consist of one establishment or more. Scope of survey The survey included establishments engaged primarily in manufacturing structural clay products (industry group 325 as defined in the 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Clas sification Manual prepared by the U.S. Office of Manage ment and Budget). Within this industry group are four industries: Brick and structural clay tile (SIC 3251); Ceram ic wall and floor tile (Sic 3253); Clay refractories (SIC 3255); and Structural clay products, not elsewhere classified (s ic 3259). Excluded from the survey were separate auxiliary units such as central offices. Establishments studied were selected from those employ ing 20 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 actually 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 com position of the industry’s labor force, rather than as precise measures of employment. Production workers The terms “ production workers” and “ production and related workers,” used interchangeably in this bulletin, include working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers engaged in nonoffice activities. Administrative, executive, professional, 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. Products Occupational classification Classification of establishments by product was based on the principal type of product manufactured. For example, if 60 percent of the total value of an establishment’s produc tion was brick and structural clay tile and 40 percent was clay refractories, all workers in that establishment were con sidered as producing brick and structural clay tile. Occupational classification was based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablish ment and interarea variations in duties within the same job. (See appendix B for these descriptions.) The criteria for selec tion of the occupations were: The number of workers in the occupation; the usefulness of the data in collective bargain ing; and appropriate representation of the entire job scale in the industry. Working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handicapped, part-time, temporary, 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 of the Bureau’s field representatives to a probability-based sample of establish ments within the scope of the survey. To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of small establishments was studied. In combining the data, each establishment was given an appropriate weight. All es timates are presented, therefore, as relating 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 earn ings, 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-living pay increases (but not bonuses) were included as part of the workers’ regular pay. Excluded are performance bonuses and lump-sum payments of the type negotiated in the auto and aerospace industries, as well as Establishment definition An establishment is defined for this study as a single phys ical location where industrial operations are performed.

NOTE: United States and regions may include data for lo calities in addition to those shown separately. profit-sharing payments, attendance bonuses, Christmas or yearend bonuses, and other nonproduction bonuses. Average (mean) hourly rates or earnings for each occu pation or category of workers, such as production workers, were calculated by weighting each rate (or hourly earnings) by the number of workers receiving the rate, totaling, and dividing by the number of individuals. The hourly earnings of salaried workers, if any, were obtained by dividing straight-time salary by normal (or standard) hours to which the salary corresponds. The median designates positions; that is, one-half of the employees surveyed received more than this rate and onehalf received less. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay such that one-fourth of the employees earned less than 46 the lower of these rates and one-fourth earned more than the higher rate. time required to complete the task. For purposes of table 12 in this report, these workers were considered timeworkers. Type of area Scheduled weekly hours Tabulations by type of area pertain to metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas. The term “ metropolitan areas,’’ as used in this bulletin, refers to the Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA’s) as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget through June 1983. In general, an MSA is defined as a county or group of contiguous counties which contains at least one central city of at least 50,000 inhabi tants or a central urbanized area of at least 100,000. Counties contiguous to the one containing such a city or area are included in an MSA if, according to certain criteria, they are essentially metropolitan in character and are socially and eco nomically integrated with the central city. In New England, where the city and town are administratively more important than the county, they are the units used in defining 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 provi sions covering late-shift work. Practices relate to workers employed on late shifts at the time of the survey. Establishment practices and employee benefits Supplementary benefits in an establishment were consi dered applicable to all 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 require ments, the proportion of workers receiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated. MSA’s. Labor-management agreements Separate wage data are presented, where possible, for establishments that had (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. Paid holidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day and half-day holidays provided annually. Method of wage payment Paid vacations. The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal arrangements and exclude informal plans where by time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the em ployer or 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 represent the most common practices, but they do not neces sarily reflect individual establishment provisions for progres sion. For example, changes in proportions indicated at 20 years of service may include changes which occurred between 15 and 20 years. 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 individual job categories. In the absence of a formal rate structure, pay rates are determined primarily by the qualifications of the individual worker. A single rate structure is one in which 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 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 payments are exceptions. Rangeof-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 predetermined rate is paid for each unit of output. Production bonuses are for production in excess of a quota or for completion of a task in less than standard time.Stint workers are those who receive a fixed daily rate for a predetermined amount of work regardless of the amount of Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Data are presented for health, insurance, pension, and retirement severance plans for which the employer pays all or a part of the cost, excluding 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 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. Tabulations of paid sick 47 Major medical plans typically have deductibles and require copayments, and frequently have maximum benefits. Com prehensive plans, which cover all expenses with neither deductibles or copayments, are considered not to include major medical insurance. Dental insurance, for purposes of this survey, covers rou tine dental work such as fillings, extractions, and x-rays. Excluded are plans which cover only oral surgery or accidental injury. Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide regular payments for the remainder of the retiree’s life. Data are presented separately for retirement severance pay (one payment or several over a specified period of time) made to employees on retirement. Establishments providing both severance pay and pensions were included in data for each, but establishments having optional plans providing employees a choice of either retirement severance payments or pensions were considered as having only retire ment pension benefits. leave plans are limited to formal plans2 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 for (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans provid ing 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 speci fied period of disability (typically 6 months). Payments are made until the end of disability, a maximum age, or eligi bility 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 employee. 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 non profit organization, or they may be a form of self-insurance. Major medical insurance includes plans designed to cover employees for services which go beyond those covered under hospitalization, medical, or surgical insurance. Paid funeral and jury-duty leave. Data for paid funeral and jury-duty leave relate to formal plans which provide at least partial payment for time lost as a result of attending funer als of specified family members or serving as a juror. 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, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Establishment plans which meet only the legal requirements are excluded from these data, but those under which (1) employers contribute more than is legally required or (2) benefits exceed those specified in the State law are included. In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out o f a State fund to which only employees contribute. In each o f the other three States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan. State fund financing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey, employees and employers contribute; in New York, em ployees contribute up to a specified maximum and employers pay the difference between the employees’ share and the total contribution required. 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; in New York, employees can agree to contribute more if the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate with the benefit provided. 2 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the minimum number o f days o f sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded. Technological severance pay. Data relate to formal plans providing for payments to employees permanently separated from the company because of a technological change or plant closing. Supplemental unemployment benefits. Data relate to plans which supplement State unemployment insurance benefits. Cost-of-living adjustments. Data relate to formal plans for adjustments to wages in keeping with changes in the BLS Consumer Price Index or other measure. 3 When paid jury-duty leave is required by law. as it is in Alabama, Nebraska, Tennessee, and parts o f Massachusetts, plans are included only if the employer provides the em ployees with benefits exceeding the legal requirement. 48 Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist its field representatives 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 interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’s job descriptions may differ significantly from those used in individual establish ments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field representatives were instructed to exclude apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and proba tionary workers. The code numbers and occupational classifications that ap pear below the job titles in this appendix were taken from the 1980 edition of the Standard Occupational Classifica tion Manual (soc), issued by the U.S. Department of Com merce, 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, one SOC code (7675: Furnace, kiln, and oven operator and tender) includes three of the jobs used in this survey of manufacturers of structural clay products. And, one of the three jobs, kiln setter and draw er, for the purposes of this survey, has three subclassifica tions, each depending on the duties of the worker. Thus, in comparing the results of this survey with other sources, differences in occupational definition and classification should be taken into consideration. the bucket or dipper in order to move and deposit materials.
