Textile Dyeing and Finishing, June 1976
workers in June 1976 (table l ).4 The industry is concen­
trated in three textile-producing regions. An estimated
34,300 production workers were employed in the South­
east, nearly 8,000 in the Middle Atlantic, and 7,200 in New
England. A study of similar surveys conducted by the Bu­
reau over the past 20 years reveals a steady shift of the
industry’s employment from the Middle Atlantic and New
England regions to the Southeast (text table 1 ).
Slightly more than one-half of the workers were em­
ployed in metropolitan areas in June 1976.5 Metropolitan
areas accounted for nine-tenths of the work force in the
Middle Atlantic region, three-fourths in New England, and
slightly less than two-fifths in the Southeast.
Slightly more than four-fifths of the industry’s workers
were employed in the eight States surveyed separately.
Among these States, production worker employment
ranged from 1,300 to 1,400 in Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island to slightly over 15,600 in South Carolina. The latter
exceeded the number employed in the Middle Atlantic and
New England regions combined (appendix table B-l).

Summary
Straigh t-tim e earnings o f production and related workers
in the textile dyeing and finishing industry averaged $3.82
an hour in June 1976. All but 6 percent of the 51,458
workers covered by the survey1 earned between $2.30 and
$5 an hour; the middle 50 percent fell between $3.29 and
$4.18.
Regionally, average earnings were $3.66 in the South­
east—where two-thirds of the workers were employed—
$3.97 in New England, and $4.45 in the Middle Atlantic .12
Earnings also varied by community and establishment size,
labor-management contract coverage, type of finisher (com­
mission or for own account) and textile (cotton or man­
made), as well as by occupation, sex, and method of wage
payment.
Among the occupations studied separately, average
hourly earnings outside the printing department ranged
from $3.15 for janitors to $4.83 for maintenance electri­
cians; the highest survey average was $7.79 for machine
printers.3 Yarn winders, the largest occupation studied, av­
eraged $3.31.
Paid holidays, paid vacations, and part of the cost of life,
hospitalization, and surgical insurance were provided to vir­
tually all production workers in the survey. Textile workers
typically received between 5 and 9 holidays and between 1
and 3 weeks of vacation annually, the latter depending on
length of service. Pension plans and other forms of health
insurance were also widespread in the industry.

4 The estimate of the number of production workers within the
scope of the study is intended only as a general guide to the size and
composition o f the labor force included in the survey. It differs
from that published in the monthly series (71,400 in June 1976)
primarily by the exclusion of establishments employing fewer than
50 workers. The advance planning necessary to make the survey
required the use o f lists of establishments assembled considerably in
advance of data collection. Thus, establishments new to the industry
are omitted, as are establishments originally classified as textile dye­
ing and finishing establishments, but found in other industries at the
time of the survey.

Office of Management and Budget through February 1974.

1See appendix B for scope and method of survey. The straighttime average hourly earnings in this bulletin differ in concept from
the gross average hourly earnings published in the Bureau’ s monthly
periodical E m p lo y m e n t a n d Earnings ($3.89 in June 1976). Unlike
the latter series, the estimates presented here 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; in the monthly
series, the sum o f the employee-hour totals reported by establish­
ments in the industry was divided into the reported payroll totals.

to nine-tenths in the Middle Atlantic. The proportion of
workers in mills having such contracts also varied by com­
munity and establishment size (tables 13 and 14). The ma­
jor union in the industry is the Amalgamated Clothing and
Textile Workers Union, the result of a June 1976 merger of
the Textile Workers Union and the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers Union.

P rocesses an d p ro d u cts. The principal processes in textile

dyeing and finishing are: Preparation o f the cloth (scouring,
ashing, and bleaching); application of color (dyeing, print­
ing, or both); and finishing for consumers’ use (preshrink­
ing, calendering, napping, chemical finishing for water
repellency, etc.). Larger establishments generally did all
three types of processes; smaller plants usually were limited
to bleaching and dyeing, or to printing.
Slightly more than two-fifths of the production workers
were employed in plants where the processing included
printing of fabrics. Machine printing (except screen) was
the method used in establishments employing one-fourth of
the industry’s work force. Rotary screen printing, a method
that prints cloth by means of rollers instead of a flat screen,
was the primary printing method in establishments employ­
ing one-tenth o f the workers. Other methods reported in­
clude hand screen printing and automatic flat printing.
Mills engaged primarily in processing cotton textiles ac­
counted for two-fifths of the nationwide work force, while
those primarily processing manmade fiber textiles em­
ployed nearly three-fifths. Slightly more than four-fifths of
the Middle Atlantic region work force processed manmade
fiber while corresponding proportions in New England and
the Southeast region were, respectively, nearly three-fifths
and one-half.
Slightly over three-fourths of the workers were in plants
primarily processing broadwoven fabrics, just over oneeighth were in mills processing synthetic yarn or thread,
and the rest were in mills processing cotton yarn or thread,
narrow fabrics (12 inches or less in width), raw stock, and
tops.

M e th o d o f w age p a y m e n t. Nine-tenths of the production

workers were paid on a time-rate basis, typically under
formal systems providing single rates for specific occupa­
tions (table 28). Incentive wage plans, usually individual
piecework, applied to 12 percent of the workers in the
Southeast region, 5 percent in New England, and 2 percent
in the Middle Atlantic region.
Average hourly earnings

Straight-time hourly earnings of the 51,500 production
workers within the scope of the survey averaged $3.82 an
hour in June 1976 (table 1). Workers in the Southeast,
two-thirds of the production work force, averaged $3.66.
Those in New England and the Middle Atlantic region, each
about one-seventh of the work force, averaged $3.97 and
$4.45 an hour, respectively.
Among the 10 States and areas of industry concentra­
tion surveyed separately, average earnings ranged from
$3.30 an hour in Georgia to $5.19 in the Paterson-CliftonPassaic metropolitan area (tables 15-26).
The level of earnings for the industry’s production work­
ers in June 1976 was 47 percent higher than the $2.59
average recorded by the December 1970 survey—about the
same increase as that recorded for all nondurable manufac­
turing over the same period.6 Prorated on an annual basis
between 1970 and 1976, the earnings increase averaged
about 7.4 percent in textile dyeing plants. The advancing
wage level in textile dyeing and finishing plants nationwide
has been somewhat restrained by the growth in the propor­
tion o f the work force employed in the Southeast—up from
30 percent in July 1946 to 67 percent in June 1976. During
this period, nationwide average hourly earnings of produc­
tion workers increased 329 percent—from 89 cents to
$3.82. Had regional employment relationships remained the
same as in 1946, however, the increase for the industry
would have been 352 percent and the June 1976 average
$4.03.7

T y p e o f finisher. Nationwide, employment was divided al­
most evenly between mills dyeing and finishing on a com­
mission basis and those processing for their own account.
The proportion varied among regions. Commission mills
employed seven-eighths o f the Middle Atlantic workers
and nearly four-fifths of the those in New England but
only about one-third in the Southeast.
S ize o f establish m ent. Plants with at least 500 employees

accounted for two-fifths of the industry’s production work­
ers, compared with about one-third in plants with 50 to
249 workers, and one-fourth in those with 250 to 499.
Plants with fewer than 50 workers were excluded from the
survey. Among regions, the proportion of workers in the
smallest plant size category was one-fifth in the Southeast,
one-half in New England, and four-fifths in the Middle
Atlantic.

6The Bureau’s 1970 study also covered smaller textile dyeing
and finishing plants—those with 20-49 workers. Thus, the 1970 and
1976 survey results are not strictly comparable. However, firms with
20 to 49 workers account for only about 7 percent of the industry’s
work force and are, therefore, unlikely to affect significantly overall
trends. See In d u stry Wage S u rvey: T ex tile D y e in g a n d Finishing,
D e ce m b er 1 9 7 0 , Bulletin 1757 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1972).

crease in all nondurable goods manufacturing.

employment in each region.

U nionization. Establishments operating under collective
bargaining agreements covering a majority of their workers
employed slightly more than one-third of the industry’s
work force. The proportion of workers in plants having
such coverage varied among the regions—from about onesixth in the Southeast to seven-tenths in New England and

maintenance departments. Differences in averages between
men and women in the same job and location may also
reflect minor variations in duties. Job descriptions in wage
surveys usually are more generalized than those in individ­
ual establishments.
The basic survey tabulations did not attempt to isolate
and measure any o f the preceding characteristics as individ­
ual determinants of wage levels. Characteristics associated
with higher pay levels in this industry, such as location
outside the South and unionization, are highly interrelated.
Appendix A of this bulletin, however, presents a brief tech­
nical note on the results of a multiple regression in which
the effects of individual variables were isolated to a measur­
able degree. In several cases, there were marked differences
between the average earnings differentials produced by
cross-tabulation—simple regression (as discussed in this sec­
tion o f the report)—and those derived from multiple regres­
sion. For example, production workers in union mills aver­
aged 51 cents an hour more than those in nonunion mills,
but apparently only about one-third (18 cents) of this dif­
ferential can be attributed solely to the union status of the
mill (appendix tables A-l and A-2).
Nearly 95 percent of the production workers earned be­
tween $2.30 and $5 an hour (table 2). Earnings of the
middle 50 percent of the workers were between $3.29 and
$4.18 an hour. The middle range o f earnings for men was
between $3.41 and $4.30; for women, $2.97 and $3.69.
Seven percent of all men but nearly 27 percent of all
women earned less than $3 an hour. At $4.50 an hour or
above, the corresponding proportions were 20 and 2 per­
cent. The proportion of workers at the lower and upper
ends of the earnings array also varied by region. (See tables
3-5 for distributions of workers by type of mill and fabric
processed.)

Earnings o f workers in commission mills (those process­
ing materials owned by others) averaged $3.86 an hour,
compared with $3.78 for workers in plants processing tex­
tiles for their own account. This relationship held in the
Middle Atlantic region ($4.54 and $3.86). However, in the
New England and Southeast regions, workers in plants pri­
marily processing their own textiles averaged 3 and 8 per­
cent more, respectively, than workers in commission plants.
Employees in plants primarily processing manmade fiber
textiles averaged $3.88 an hour, 4 percent more than those
in plants processing cotton textiles ($3.73). This relation­
ship held in New England and the Middle Atlantic regions;
however, in the Southeast region, no significant difference
was recorded—cotton processing plant workers averaged
$3.67 an hour, compared with $3.65 for workers in man­
made fiber plants. Within each fiber group, workers in
plants primarily processing fabrics averaged more per hour
than those in yarn mills. In the Southeast, the only region
permitting such comparisons, the earnings advantage of
workers in broadwoven fabric mills amounted to 7 percent
in cotton processing plants and 10 percent in manmade
fiber processing plants.
Workers in metropolitan areas averaged $3.95 an hour, 7
percent more than the $3.68 recorded for those in non­
metropolitan areas. Metropolitan area pay was higher than
nonmetropolitan averages in the Middle Atlantic region;
however, in New England, the average in nonmetropolitan
areas was $4.05 an hour, 3 percent more than in metropoli­
tan areas ($3.94). In the Southeast, only 1 cent separated
the two averages.
Nationwide, workers in plants with at least 500 employ­
ees held a slight earnings advantage—2 to 3 percent—over
those in smaller-sized plants. The spread would have been
wider, however, had the relatively low-paying Southeast re­
gion accounted for as large a proportion of the Nation’s
small- and medium-sized plants as it did of the largest
plants. Within the Southeast region, average earnings in the
largest plants were above those in the medium-sized and
smaller ones by 9 percent and 24 percent, respectively.
Production workers in plants having labor-management
contracts covering a majority o f their workers averaged
$4.14 an hour, compared with $3.63 in plants having none
or a minority covered by such agreements. Hourly rates in
union establishments exceeded those in nonunion plants by
3 percent in New England, 7 percent in the Southeast re­
gion, and 20 percent in the Middle Atlantic region.
Men averaged $3.95 an hour, compared with $3.32 an
hour for women. Among regions, the average wage advan­
tage for men was 14 percent in the Southeast, 15 percent in
New England, and 38 percent in the Middle Atlantic. Dif­
ferences in pay for men and women may result from several
factors, including variations in the distribution of the sexes
among jobs with disparate pay levels. For example, women
were most often employed as yarn winders, sewing-machine
operators, and inspectors—all comparatively low-wage occu­
pations—and seldom in the relatively high-wage printing and



Occupational earnings

Occupations for which data are presented in table 6 were
selected to represent the full spectrum of activities per­
formed by production workers in the industry. These jobs
accounted for 55 percent o f the production workers within
the scope of the June 1976 survey. Among the jobs,
machine printers had the highest average—$7.79 an hour.
Averages for the other occupations ranged from $3.15 for
janitors to $4.83 for maintenance electricians. Yarn wind­
ers, numerically the most important job studied and primar­
ily staffed by women, averaged $3.31 an hour-23 percent
an hour less than cloth winders ($4.06)—a job dominated
by men. Other jobs with more than 1,500 incumbents and
their hourly averages included: Cloth dyeing-machine tend­
ers ($4.04), color mixers ($3.97), finishing-range operators
($3.90), tenter-frame tenders ($3.84), cloth inspectors (ma­
chine) ($3.64), and material handling laborers ($3.42).
Occupational pay relationships within regions varied
somewhat. For example, cloth dyeing-machine tenders in
3

the Middle Atlantic region averaged 6 percent more than
yarn dyeing-machine tenders, whereas in the Southeast the
averages were virtually identical. Similarly, in New England
and the Southeast, cloth winders averaged 9 percent more
than washer tenders, but in the Middle Atlantic region,
washer tenders averaged 3 percent more to reverse the rela­
tionship.
Occupational averages were almost always highest in the
Middle Atlantic region and lowest in the Southeast among
the 30 occupations shown for all three regions. In the Mid­
dle Atlantic region, averages for most jobs were 10 to 20
percent above nationwide levels; in the Southeast, they
were generally 5 to 10 percent below.

number of workers in comparatively low paying jobs earned
as much as or more than some workers in jobs with signifi­
cantly higher hourly averages.

Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions

For production workers, information was also obtained
on work schedules and shift differential provisions and
practices, and the incidence of selected supplementary
benefits including paid holidays, vacations and health, in­
surance, and retirement plans.
S c h e d u le d w e e k ly hours. Nearly seven-eighths of the produc­

Workers in mills processing broadwoven fabrics made
from manmade fibers generally averaged up to 15 percent
more than those in cotton broadwoven mills, except in the
bleaching departments where cotton workers usually aver­
aged more (tables 8 and 9).
In the New England and Southeast regions, jobs averaged
typically about the same or up to 10 percent higher in
plants processing materials for their own account than in
plants operating on a commission basis (table 7). Among
the four jobs permitting comparison in the Middle Atlantic
region, however, this earnings relationship was reversed.
Nationwide, workers in mills located in metropolitan
areas generally averaged 5 to 15 percent more than their
counterparts in smaller communities (table 10). This pat­
tern held in the Southeast region, but the advantage in
metropolitan areas was usually small—5 percent or less. In
New England, however, workers in nonmetropolitan areas
nearly always earned more than those in larger communi­
ties. Comparisons of occupational averages by community
size were not available in the Middle Atlantic region, where
nine-tenths of the industry’s work force is in metropolitan
areas.
No consistent pattern of wage relationship by size of
establishment was found by comparing nationwide occupa­
tional averages (table 11). However, in the Southeast, the
only region permitting comparisons among the three size
classes, the largest mills (500 or more employees) consis­
tently had the highest wage averages. Also, in New England,
workers in mills with 250 to 499 employees typically aver­
aged up to 10 percent more than those in mills with 50 to
249 v/orkers, among the 10 occupations compared.
Occupational averages also varied by method of wage
payment and labor-management contract coverage (tables
12-14). For example, job averages were usually between 5
and 25 percent higher in union than in nonunion plants on
a nationwide basis; regionally, even when comparisons were
limited to mills in large or small communities or to the
same establishment size class, workers in union plants gen­
erally held a wage advantage over those in nonunion plants.
Earnings of individual workers varied somewhat within
the same job and geographic area (tables 15-27). Fre­
quently, hourly earnings of the highest paid workers ex­
ceeded those of the lowest paid by $1.50 or more. Thus, a



tion workers were in mills scheduling a 40-hour workweek
in June 1976 (table 29). Longer work schedules, commonly
between 45 and 50 hours a week, were in effect for about
one-tenth of the workers.
S h ift d iffe re n tia l p ro v isio n s a n d practices. Virtually all pro­

duction workers were in establishments having provisions
for late-shift work (table 30). In June 1976, however, only
about one-fourth of the workers actually were employed on
second shifts and one-seventh on third or other late shifts
(table 31). In the Middle Atlantic region, workers typically
received 5 cents an hour above day-shift rates for second
shift and 10 cents an hour more for third shifts. In New
England and especially in the Southeast, extra pay was less
common for second shifts, but third-shift differentials gen­
erally amounted to 10 or 15 cents an hour in New England
and 5 cents an hour in the Southeast.
P a id holidays. All production workers were in establish­

ments providing paid holidays (table 32). Typical holiday
provisions were 5 to 7 days in the Southeast region, 8 or 9
days in New England, and 12 days in the Middle Atlantic
region.
P aid vacations. Paid vacations, after qualifying periods of

service, were provided by mills employing virtually all of
the industry’s production workers (table 33). Provisions
varied somewhat among the three regions, but typically
amounted to 1 week of vacation pay after 1 year o f service,
2 weeks after 5 years, and 3 weeks after 15 years. Shorter
service requirements were typically reported in the Middle
Atlantic—2 weeks after 3 years and 3 weeks after 10 years.
Maximum vacations of at least 4 weeks after 25 years were
available to slightly more than one-half of the workers in
the New England region, but to only about one-tenth of
those in the Middle Atlantic and Southeast regions. Vaca­
tion pay for most of the production workers in New Eng­
land and the Middle Atlantic regions was based on length of
vacation time; for most in the Southeast, it was a percent­
age of annual earnings.8
8
For this survey, percentage payments were converted to an
equivalent time basis; i.e., 2 percent of annual earnings equaled 1
week; 4 percent, 2 weeks; etc.

The incidence of these health and insurance plans varied
somewhat among the regions and States and areas surveyed
separately.
Retirement pensions (in addition to Federal social secur­
ity) were provided to four-fifths of the production workers.
Employers nearly always paid the total cost. Retirement
severance plans were rare in the industry.

were protected against loss o f pay due to illness—nearly
always with sickness and accident insurance; paid sick leave
plans applied to only about one-tenth o f the work force.

Appendix A.

Regression Analysis
characteristics is represented by the value of the constant
term. The coefficients of the explicit variables represent the
differentials associated with categories of those character­
istics differing from the basic set embodied in the constant.
The effects of the coefficients on average wage levels are
determined by the substitution of the values of the new
variables in table A-l for those suppressed in the constant
term. For example, for production workers in a union shop,
estimated average hourly earnings are higher by 18 cents, or
$3.44 when other factors are held constant. Further, if
these workers are located in the Middle Atlantic region,
another 84 cents is added to the constant term, which raises
the average hourly earnings to $4.28. Wage differences
found by simple cross-tabulation may be labeled gross dif­
ferentials; those isolated by regression techniques are net
differentials (table A-2).
It should be emphasized that the regression analysis is
not sufficiently complete to measure with certainty the in­
dependent effects of employee and establishment character­
istics on wage levels. As table A-l shows, the regression
analysis failed to account for about 61 percent of the varia­
tion in average earnings levels for all production workers,
and 35 to 55 percent of the variation in earnings for the
four selected occupations. (See adjusted coefficient of de­
termination, R2.) This could mean that other factors, be­
yond the scope of the survey, influenced the estimates.
However, by holding constant those characteristics within
the survey scope, estimates for specified characteristics def­
initely were improved.

Conventional methods of analyzing wage variations using
cross tabulations (simple regression) of data typically stop
short o f measuring the independent influence on wage lev­
els of factors such as size of establishment, location, and
union contract status. The independent effect of unioniza­
tion on earnings, for example, may be obscured by earnings
differentials associated with location outside the South and
location in metropolitan areas—two characteristics generally
fcund more often for union than nonunion establishments.
One method of isolating the independent effect on
wages of various establishment and worker characteristics is
multiple regression. By this method, the estimated wage
differential for a given variable is determined indepen­
dently. The variables included in table A-l are defined,
where necessary, in appendix B—Scope and Method of Sur­
vey.
In the regression equation, one category of each of the
variables is not shown explicitly, but its influence is em­
bodied in the constant term. In table A -l, therefore, the
constant term categories for all production workers are
nonmetropolitan, small employment size, nonunion, South­
east, cotton fiber, broadwoven fabric, and mills finishing
their own goods; for four selected occupations, sex was an
added variable, and for three, method of wage payment.1
The average wage level relating to this set of suppressed
Hn addition to these variables, dyeing-machine tenders, and
cloth and screen printers were tested for the significance o f their
various sub classifications on pay levels and the results are shown in
ths “ Note” to table A-l.

Appendix B.

Scope and Method of Survey

Scope of survey

Employment

The survey included establishments engaged primarily in
bleaching, dyeing, printing, and other mechanical finishing,
such as preshrinking, calendering, and napping of textiles
(SIC 226 as defined in the 1967 edition of the S ta n d a rd
In du strial C lassification M anual , prepared by the U.S. Of­
fice of Management and Budget). Establishments engaged
primarily in dyeing and finishing wool fabrics and knit
goods, classified as industries 2231 and 225, were excluded
from the survey. Also excluded were separate auxiliary
units such as central and sales offices.
For purposes of this survey, the classification of an es­
tablishment which processed more than one type of mate­
rial (cotton or synthetic) was based on the predominant
type of material processed. Textiles containing mixed fibers
were classified in accordance with the predominant fiber
content. Broadwoven fabrics include materials over 12
inches in width. Establishments processing silk textiles were
classified with manmade fiber textiles.
Establishments studied were selected from those em­
ploying 50 workers or more at the time o f reference of the
data used in compiling the universe lists. Table B-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.

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 o f employment.
Production workers and officeworkers

The terms “production workers” and “production and
related workers,” used interchangeably in this bulletin, in­
clude working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers
engaged in nonoffice activities. Administrative, executive,
professional, clerical, and technical personnel, and forceaccount construction employees, who are used as a separate
work force on the firm’s own properties, are excluded.

Occupations selected for study

Occupational classification was based on a uniform set
of job descriptions designed to take account of interestab­
lishment and in ter are a variations in duties within the same
job. (See appendix C for these descriptions.) The criteria
for selection of the occupations were: The number of work­
ers in the occupation; the usefulness o f the data in collec­
tive bargaining; 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 staff to a representative sample of establishments with­
in scope o f the survey. To obtain appropriate accuracy at a
minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of small
establishments was studied. In combining the data, how­
ever, all establishments were given an appropriate weight.
All estimates are presented, therefore, as relating to all es­
tablishments in the industry, excluding only those below
the minimum size at the time o f 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 payments,
such as those resulting from piecework or production bonus
systems, and cost-of-living bonuses were included as part of
the workers’ regular pay. Nonproduction bonus payments,
such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.

Establishment definition

An establishment is defined for this study as a single
physical location where industrial operations are per­
formed. An establishment is not necessarily identical with a
company, which may consist of one establishment or more.



A verage (m ea n ) h o u rly rates o r earnings for each occupa­

tion or category of workers, such as production workers,
were calculated by weighting each rate (or hourly earnings)

than the lower of these rates and one-fourth earned more
than the higher rate.

Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan Statis­
tical Area is defined as a county or group of contiguous
counties which contains at least one city of 50,000 inhabi­
tants or more. Counties contiguous to the one containing
such a city are included in a Standard Metropolitan Statisti­
cal Area if, according to certain criteria, they are essentially
metropolitan in character and are socially and economically
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 Standard Metro­
politan Statistical Areas.

Type of finishers
Labor-management agreements

Tabulations by type of finisher include (1) those wholly
or primarily engaged in dyeing and finishing goods for the
account o f others on a commission basis and (2) those
wholly or primarily engaged in dyeing and finishing goods
for their awn account or for the parent company. Included
in both types of plants are independent mills and those
owned by textile-producing companies.

Separate wage data are presented, where possible, for
establishments that had (1) a majority o f the production
workers covered by labor-management contracts, and
(2) none or a minority of the production workers covered
by labor-management contracts.

Method o f wage payment
Size of community

Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to the
number o f 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 structure,
pay rates are determined primarily by the qualifications of

Tabulations by size o f community pertain to metropoli­
tan and nonmetropolitan areas. The term “metropolitan
areas,” as used in this bulletin, refers to the Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Areas as defined by the U.S. Office
o f Management and Budget through February 1974.

For example, changes in proportions indicated at 10 years
of service may include changes which occurred between 5
and 10 years.

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 proba­
tionary 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 exper­
ienced worker occasionally may be paid above or below the
single rate for special reasons, but such payments are excep­
tions. Range-of-rate plans are those in which the minimum,
maximum, or both o f these rates paid experienced workers
for the same job are specified. Specific rates o f individual
workers within the range may be determined by merit,
length o f service, or a combination of these. Incentive
porkers are classified under piecework or bonus plans.
Piecework is work for which a predetermined rate is paid
for each unit o f output. Production bonuses are for produc­
tion in excess o f a quota or for completion o f a task in less
than standard time.

H ea lth , insurance , a n d r e tire m e n t 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 workmen’s
compensation and social security. Among 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 pre­
sented for all such plans to which the employer contributes
at least a part o f the cost. However, in New York and New
Jersey, where temporary disability insurance laws require
employer contributions,1 plans are included only if the em­
ployer (1) contributes more than is legally required, or (2)
provides the employees with benefits which exceed the re­
quirements of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to formal
plans which provide full pay or a proportion o f the work­
er’s pay during absence from work because of illness; in­
formal arrangements have been omitted. Separate tabula­
tions are provided for (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 non­
profit organization, or they may be a form of self-insur­
ance.
Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as ex­
tended medical or catastrophe insurance, includes plans de­
signed to cover employees for sickness or injury involving
an expense which exceeds the normal coverage o f hospitali­
zation, medical, and surgical plans.
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 per­
iod of time) made to employees on retirement. Establish­
ments providing both retirement severance payments and
retirement pensions to employees were considered as having
both retirement pensions and retirement severance plans;
however, establishments having optional plans providing
employees a choice of either retirement severance payments
or pensions were considered as having only retirement pen­
sion benefits.

Scheduled weekly hours

Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work
schedule for full-time production workers (or officeworkers) 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 o f the survey.

Supplementary benefits

Supplementary benefits in an establishment were con­
sidered applicable to all production workers if they applied
to half or more of such workers in the establishment. Simi­
larly, if fewer than half o f the workers were covered, the
benefit was considered nonexistent in the establishment.
Because o f length-of-service and other eligibility require­
ments, the proportion of workers receiving the benefits
may be smaller than estimated.
P aid h olidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day and

half-day holidays provided annually.
P aid vacations. The summaries o f vacation plans are limited

to formal arrangements and exclude informal plans where­
by 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 o f annual
earnings was considered the equivalent o f 1 week’s pay. The
periods o f service for which data are presented represent
the most common practices, but they do not necessarily
reflect individual establishment provisions for progression.



‘ Hie temporary disability insurance laws in California and
Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.

Appendix C.

Occupational Descriptions

The primary purpose o f 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 o f 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 in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other
purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field staff are instructed to
exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handicapped,
part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
