Preface
This bulletin summarizes the results o f a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey o f wages and
supplementary benefits in the structural clay products manufacturing industries in
September 1975. A similar study was conducted in September 1969.
Separate State releases were issued earlier for selected industry branches as follows:
Brick and structural clay tile—Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Texas;
ceramic wall and floor tile—California; clay refractories-Missouri, Ohio, and Pennsylvania;
and clay sewer pipe—Ohio. Copies o f these releases are available from the Bureau o f Labor
Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or any of its regional offices.
This study was conducted in the Bureau’s office of Wages and Industrial Relations.
Carl Barsky o f the Division o f Occupational Wage Structures prepared the analysis in
this bulletin. Field work for the survey was directed by the Assistant Regional Commis­
sioners for Operations.
Other reports available from the Bureau’s program of industry wage studies as well as
the addresses of the Bureau’s regional offices are listed at the end o f this bulletin.

Structural Clay Products, September 1975
Summary

T he number o f production workers in September
1975 was 24 percent b elow the figure recorded for a
similar survey conducted in September 1969.4 Since
April-June 1960, em ploym ent in these industries has
fallen 43 percent; how ever, the relative distribution o f
workers am ong industry branches has changed only
slightly since then.

Straight-time earnings in the structural clay products
industries averaged $3.79 an hour in September 1975.
A ll but 3 percent o f the 33,000 workers covered by the
survey1 earned betw een $2.10 and $6 an hour; the
middle 50 percent earned betw een $3.04 and $4.44.
A m ong the four industry branches for w hich sepa­
rate data w ere tabulated, hourly averages w ere $3.35 in
brick and structural clay tile establishments, $3.41 for
ceram ic w all and floor tile, $4.06 for clay sew er pipe
and $4.78 for clay refractories. Earnings variations
w ere also found by region,2 com m unity and
establishment size, labor-management contract c o v e ­
rage, occupation, sex, and m ethod o f w age payment.
A m ong the 33 occupations selected to represent the
industries’ activities and w age structure, earnings rang­
ed from $3.10 for janitors to $5.19 for maintenance
machinists.3 Forklift pow er truckers, numerically the
most important job studied, averaged $3.71.
Nearly all workers w ere in establishments providing
paid holidays, paid vacations, and at least part o f the
cost o f life, hospitalization, and surgical insurance.
Other health insurance plans and retirement pensions
also w ere widespread in the industry. W orkers typical­
ly received betw een 6 and 9 paid holidays and,
depending on length o f service, betw een 1 and 4 weeks
o f vacation, annually.

Processes. W hile structural clay products vary in com ­
position and use, the basic manufacturing processes are
com m on to all products.
M ining or “w inning”is done at virtually all clay
products establishments. P ow er equipment is almost
always used to mine clay. Once clay is mined, it is
crushed to break up large chunks and rem ove stones;
material is then ground, mixed, and often screened.
Forming begins w ith “tempering” i.e., producing a
hom ogeneous, plastic mass, most com m only by adding
water to the clay in a pugmill— a mixing chamber.
There are three principal processes for forming clay
products: (1) In the stiff-m ud process, clay is mixed with
only enough water to produce plasticity; the clay is
1 See appendix B for scope and method of survey. Earnings data in
this report exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on
weekends, holidays and late shifts. Average earnings were calculated
by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing by the number
of individuals. They differ in concept from the gross average hourly
earnings published in the Bureau’s monthly employment and earnings
series ($4.07 for all structural clay products in September 1975). In
the monthly series, the sum of the employee-hour totals reported by
establishments in the industry was divided into the reported payroll
totals.
Estimates of the number of workers within the scope of the survey
are intended only as a general guide to the size and composition of
the labor force covered by this survey. They differ from those
published in the monthly series (48,800 in September 1975) by the
exclusion of establishments employing fewer than 20 workers. Also,
the advance planning necessary to make the survey required the use
of lists of establishments assembled considerably in advance of data
collection. Thus, establishments new to the industries are omitted, as
are establishments originally classified in these industries but found to
be in others at the time of the survey. Also omitted are clay products
plants classified incorrectly in other industries at the time the lists
were compiled.

B-l, footnote 1.

Industry characteristics

Products. T he survey included establishments em ploy­
ing 20 workers or more and engaged primarily in
manufacturing structural clay products. Establishments
w hose major products w ere brick and structural clay
tile em ployed just under one-half o f the 32,954 pro­
duction and related workers within the scope o f the
survey; plants making clay refractories, such as fire­
brick and other heat resistant products, about onefourth o f the workers; ceram ic w all and floor tile
plants, about one-sixth; and those making clay sew er
pipe, one-eighth. T he remaining workers— about 1
percent— w ere in plants manufacturing other clay pro­
ducts such as roofing and sew er tile.

this w ay. (2) T h e so ft-m u d process is used in the
p ro d u c tio n o f som e brick, clay refracto ries and sew er
pipe. It consists o f m ixing clay w ith 20 to 30 percen t
w a te r and form ing th e units in m olds, eith er by h and o r

industries. W e t clay units com ing from th e m olding o r

Glazing is an im p o rtan t o p eratio n in th e p ro d u ctio n
o f facing tile, te rra co tta, and som e brick. H igh-fired
glazes are applied to units eith er b efo re o r after drying
an d th e n kiln bu rn ed . L o w -fired glazes are applied after
th e unit has been b u rn ed and cooled; th en th ey are
refired at rela tiv e ly lo w tem peratures.
B urning is th e final stage for m ost p ro d u cts. T w o
types o f kilns are w idely used today: (1) In periodic
kilns, d ried units are set in a m anner th a t perm its free
circu latio n o f h o t kiln gases. (2) In tunnel (continuous)
kilns, units are sim ilarly lo ad ed on cars w h ich travel
th ro u g h th e kiln at prescrib ed speeds, p erm ittin g co n ti­
nuous use o f th e kiln. A th ird ty p e — th e scove kiln —is
alm ost nonexistent today. S co v e kilns are form ed by
th e unit b urned; th u s a n ew kiln is co n stru c te d for each
burnin g . T u n n el kilns are th e p red o m in an t ty p e in each
o f th e fo u r in d u stry branches.
D raw ing is th e p rocess o f unloading th e kiln after
cooling. U nits are sorted, g ra d ed and pack ag ed and

1 Includes data for regions in addition to those shown separately.
2 Vacation payments, such as percent of annual earnings, were converted to an equivalent time basis. Periods of service were chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily reflect individual
establishment provisions for progression. For example, changes indicated at 10 years may include changes that occurred between 5 and 10 years.
Less than 0.5 percent.
4 Vacation provisions were virtually the same after longer periods of service.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.

Appendix A. Regression Analysis
Conventional m ethods of analyzing wage variations
using cross tabulations (simple regression) of data
typically stop short of measuring the independent
influence on wage levels of such factors as size of
establishment, location, and union contract status. The
independent effect o f unionization on earnings, for
example, may be obscured by earnings differentials
associated w ith larger establishments and location in
m etropolitan areas—tw o characteristics generally
found m ore often in union than nonunion
establishments.
One m ethod o f isolating the independent effect on
wages o f various establishment and w orker characteris­
tics is m ultiple regression. By this method, the estima­
ted wage differential for a given variable is determ ined
independently. T he variables included in table A -l are
defined, w here necessary, in appendix B—Scope and
M ethod o f Survey.
In the regression equation, one category of each of
the variables is not shown explicitly, but its influence is
embodied in the constant term. In table A -l, therefore,
the categories represented by the constant term are
nonm etropolitan, small em ploym ent size, nonunion,
Southwest, ceram ic wall and floor tile plant, and, for
the selected occupations, male worker, and paym ent on
a time basis.1 T he average wage level relating to this set
o f suppressed characteristics is represented by the value
o f the constant term. T he coefficients of the explicit
variables represent the differentials associated with
categories o f those characteristics differing from the
basic set embodied in the constant.
T he effects o f the coefficients on average wage levels
are determ ined by the substitution of the values of the
new variables in table A -l for those suppressed in the
constant term. F o r example, for production w orkers in
a union shop, estimated average hourly earnings are
higher by 18 cents (or $2.66) w hen other factors are
held constant. F urther) if these w orkers are located in
the G reat Lakes region, another 84 cents is added to the




constant term, w hich raises the average hourly earnings
to $3.50. W age differences found by simple cross­
tabulation may be labeled gross differentials; those
isolated by regression techniques are net differentials.
As illustrated in table A-2, net differentials are general­
ly smaller than gross differentials, w hich is to be
expected, because, as stated previously, characteristics
associated with higher wages, such as making clay
refractories and location in the M iddle W est States,
te n d to be highly in te rre la te d . R egression te c h ­
niques, th e n , m easure m ore precisely th e im p act o f
individual factors on the wage structure of an industry.
As indicated in table A-2, regional and industry
branch differentials w ere highly significant for this
survey, even w hen other factors w ere held constant.
F o r example, the net differentials associated with the
G reat Lakes over the Southw est region was 84 cents
for all production w orkers and between 58 and 92 cents
for the selected occupations. Similarly, net differentials
associated with clay refractories over ceram ic wall and
floor tile plants w ere generally $1 or more.
It should be emphasized that the regression analysis
is not sufficiently com plete to state with certainty that
the truly independent effects o f employee and
establishment characteristics on wage levels have been
measured. As table A -l shows, the regression analysis
failed to account for about 35 percent of the variation
in average earnings levels for all production workers,
and 37 to 57 percent of the variation in earnings for the
four selected occupations. (See coefficient of determ in­
ation, R 2.) This could mean that other factors, beyond
the scope of the survey, influenced the estimates.
H ow ever, by holding constant those characteristics
w ithin th e survey scope, estim ates for specified char­
acteristics d efin itely w ere im proved.
1
In addition to these variables, kiln setters and drawers were tested
for the significance of their various subclassifications on pay levels.
The type of work performed was found to be of little significance.

earnings (dependent) variable weight by production workers, "N " is
the number of observations used in each regression equation, treating
time and incentive workers, men and women and subclassifications
of kiln setters and drawers in a firm as separate observation "S" is
the number of establishments in the sample or with employees in
the occupations shown above.

NOTE:
Dashes indicate not applicable. Numbers in paren­
