Preface
This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of wages
and related benefits in West Coast sawmilling and logging operations in October 1969.
A similar survey was conducted in 1964.
The study was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Relations.
The analysis in this bulletin was prepared by Robert L. Orr of the Bureau’s San Francisco
regional office. Field work for the survey was directed by the Assistant Regional Director
for Operations.
Other reports available from the Bureau’s industry wage survey program, as well as
the addresses of the Bureau’s regional offices, are listed at the end of this bulletin.

Industry Wage Survey----

West Coast Sawmills and Logging, October 1969

(1) general sawmills and planing mills, or (2) logging
camps and logging contractors, according to the 1967
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared by
the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.5 The
October 1969 survey differed from a June 1964 in­
dustry wage survey, which did not include separate
logging camps and logging contractors.6
Establishments covered by the survey employed
71,156 production and related workers in October
1969— 49,632 in sawmilling operations and 21,524
in logging. Approximately one-fourth of the logging
workers covered by the survey were in logging opera­
tions integrated with sawmills. These workers were
combined in the survey, with workers employed by
independent logging contractors and logging camps.
The West Coast, for purposes of the survey was
divided into four regions: Douglas Fir, Northern and
Southern Districts of Western Pine, and Redwood.
Although designated according to major species of
tree, the regions were defined geographically. (See
appendix table A-l.) Thus, more than one species of
tree may be found within a region.7 Nearly half the
workers covered by the survey were employed in the
Douglas Fir region; a tenth were in the Redwood re­
gion; and the remainder were about equally distrib­
uted between the Northern and Southern Districts of

Summary
Straight-time average hourly earnings varied con­
siderably among the occupations included in an Octo­
ber 1969 Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of West
Coast sawmilling and logging operations.1 Averages
for sawmilling jobs ranged from $2.94 an hour for
watchmen-guards to $4.91 for benchwork saw filers.
Green lumber sorters, numerically the most important
job studied, averaged $3.30. In logging, averages
ranged from $3.55 for chokermen to $5.95 for fallers and buckers, numerically the largest logging occu­
pation surveyed.2
Occupational earnings varied by location, size of
establishment, and labor-management contract cov­
erage. When comparisons were possible, workers
paid on an incentive basis had higher average earn­
ings than time-rated workers in the same job.
A large majority of the workers were in establish­
ments providing paid holidays, usually 7 days a year,
and paid vacations. Typical provisions for paid vaca­
tions were 1 week of pay after 1 year of service,
2 weeks after 3 years, and at least 3 weeks after 10
years. Various types of health, insurance, and retire­
ment benefits were also widespread in West Coast
sawmilling and logging establishments.
Industry characteristics
The five States (California, Idaho, Montana, Ore­
gon, and Washington) covered by the Bureau’s survey
of West Coast sawmilling and logging operations ac­
counted for 55 percent of the 37.9 billion board feet
of lumber produced in the United States in 1969.3
On the other hand, they accounted for only twofifths of the 265,000 workers in the Nation’s saw­
mills and logging camps.4 The greater output of
lumber in West Coast States, compared with other
sections of the country, partly results from the availa­
bility of large trees. West Coast lumber if produced
primarily from three species of trees— Douglas fir,
western pine, and redwood.
The Bureau’s October 1969 survey covered estab­
lishments having 20 workers or more and classified as




See appendix A for scope and method o f survey. Earn­
ings data presented in this bulletin exclude premium pay for
overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.

Census.

Based on estimates from the Bureau’s monthly employ­
ment and earnings series.
5 Establishments having fewer than 20 workers are esti­
mated to account for less than one-tenth o f the employment
in general sawmills and planing mills in the five West Coast
States; the corresponding proportion for logging camps and
logging contractors was two-fifths.

1964, BLS Bulletin 1455.

Redwood, for example, is the principal species found
along the northern California coast, but Douglas fir lumber
is also extensively produced in this region.

The extent of collective bargaining agreement cov­
erage was greater for logging workers in camps owned
and operated by sawmills (nearly three-fourths) than
for workers employed by independent logging contrac­
tors and logging camps (about one-half). The major
unions in West Coast sawmilling and logging opera­
tions were the International Woodworkers of America
(IWA) and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and
Joiners of America (CJA).
Nearly all production workers in sawmills, and
seven-eighths of those in logging operations, were paid
on a time-rate basis, usually under formal systems that
provided single rates for specified occupations. (See
table 6.) The proportions of logging workers paid on
an incentive basis— typically individual or group
piece rates— ranged from less than 5 percent in the
Douglas Fir region to approximately two-fifths in the
Northern District of the Western Pine. Jobs in which
a substantial proportion of the workers were paid on
an incentive basis included: Kiln drying lumber pilers
(one-fourth), car and truck loaders (one-third), air
drying lumber pilers (two-fifths), and fallers and
buckers (nearly one-half). Proportions of fallers and
buckers paid on incentive wage systems, usually on
the basis of board feet of lumber cut, amounted to
one-sixth in the Douglas Fir region, compared with
seven-tenths in the Southern District of Western Pine
and nine-tenths or more in the Northern District and
the Redwood region.

Western Pine. The distribution of sawmill and logging
workers varied among the regions. The Douglas Fir
region, for example, accounted for two-fifths of the
sawmill workers and nearly two-thirds of the logging
workers covered by the survey, whereas proportions
were one-fourth and one-sixth, respectively, in the
Northern District of the Western Pine.
Establishments covered by the survey varied sub­
stantially in terms of employment-size, they ranged from
20 workers to as many as 1,000 employees. Establish­
ments having fewer than 100 employees accounted for
two-thirds of the sawmills within scope of the survey,
but for only one-third of the production workers in
sawmills; corresponding proportions were four-fifths
and two-fifths for logging operations. As indicated
in the following tabulation, the average number of pro­
duction workers in sawmills was nearly double the av­
erage for logging operations, and within the two groups
of establishments, the averages varied by region.

Establishments with collective bargaining agree­
ments covering a majority of their production workers
made up nearly three-fifths of the work force in saw­
mills and a similar proportion of the workers in log­
ging operations. Proportions of workers in establish­
ments with collective bargaining agreement coverage
were greater in the Douglas Fir and Southern District
of the Western Pine region, than in the other two
regions:

Occupational earnings
The occupations selected for separate study ac­
counted for three-fifths of the work force in estab­
lishments covered by the survey. They were chosen
to represent various activities performed by production
and related workers in West Coast sawmilling and log­
ging operations.
Among the sawmill jobs studied, average straighttime hourly earnings ranged from $2.94 for watchmen-guards to $4.91 for benchwork saw filers. (See
table 1.) Other jobs with averages of more than $4
an hour were band-head-saw operators, $4.83 on
riderless carriage saws and $4.77 on conventional
saws; circular-head-saw operators, $4.48; and electri­
cians ($4.23), machinists ($4.13), and mechanics
($4.05)— all maintenance. Green lumber pullers and
sorters, numerically most important of the sawmilling
occupations surveyed, averaged $3.30 an hour com­
pared with $3.47 for those on dry lumber and $3.18
for those on planed lumber.

Fallers and buckers, highest-paid and the numeri­
cally largest logging job surveyed, averaged $5.95 an
hour.8 Averages for other logging occupations ranged
from $3.55 for chokermen to $5.12 for high lead
hook tenders.
Among jobs permitting comparison in each of the
four regions, occupational averages were nearly always
lowest in the Northern District of the Western Pine.
Highest averages, on the other hand, were about
equally distributed among the three remaining regions.
Interregional differences in average earnings varied by
occupation. Band-head-saw operators (riderless car­
riage) in the Southern District of the Western Pine
region, for example, averaged 11 percent more than
their counterparts in the Northern District, whereas
the spread was 24 percent for green lumber pullers
and sorters and 26 percent for fallers and buckers.
Workers paid on an incentive basis had higher
average earnings than time-rated workers in the same
job, among the few occupations permitting compari­
sons. (See table 2.) Differences in averages varied
by occupation and region. To illustrate, the average
wage advantage for incentive workers in the Douglas
Fir region amounted to 53 percent for kiln-drying
lumber stackers and 41 percent for fallers and buckers,
compared with differences of 23 and 76 percent, re­
spectively, in the Redwood region.
Occupational averages also were tabulated for inde­
pendent and integrated sawmills— those which own
and operate logging camps by size of establishment,
and by the establishment’s labor-management contract
status. (See tables 3, 4, and 5.) It is not possible in
a survey such as this to isolate and measure the exact
influence of any one characteristic as a determinant
of earnings levels because of their interrelationships;
for example, the average employment size of sawmills
with labor-management contracts was 143 workers
compared with 63 workers in nonunion sawmills; a
similar pattern was found for logging operations where
the averages were 99 and 39 workers, respectively.
Earnings of individuals varied considerably within
the same job and region. (See table 1.) Differences
in earnings between the highest and lowest paid
workers in a given job and region exceeded $1 an
hour. Thus, some workers in jobs with relatively low
averages earned as much or more than workers in
jobs for which substantially higher averages were re­
corded. The following tabulation illustrates the over­
lap in earnings for just two jobs, truckdrivers (logging)
and fallers and buckers in the Doublas Fir region,
despite a $1.77 an hour difference in the averages for
the two jobs.

Establishment practices and supplementary wage
provisions
Data also were obtained on the incidence of se­
lected establishment practices and supplementary wage
benefits for production workers in sawmills and log­
ging. Estimates of the incidence of practices and
provisions for logging workers in this bulletin are not
comparable with those for the June 1964 survey,
which did not cover independent logging contractors
and logging camps.
Minimum entrance and job rates. Formally estab­
lished minimum entrance and job rates for cleanup
men, selected to represent an unskilled entry job,
were reported by all but 14 of the 143 sawmills
visited during the survey. (See table 7.) Minimum
entrance rates were the same as minimum job rates
in each of the 129 sawmills with formal provisions.
Rates were usually within a range of $3 to $3.30 an
hour in all regions, except the Northern District of the
Western Pine. In that district, rates of less than $3
typically were reported.
Scheduled weekly hours and shift practices. Work
schedules of 40 hours a week were in effect in es­
tablishments employing more than nearly all of the
production workers in sawmills and logging operations.
(See table 8.)
Approximately one-fourth of the workers in saw­
mills were employed on late shifts at the time of the
survey. The proportions of workers on late shifts,
nearly always second shifts, ranged from three-tenths
in the Northern District of Western Pine to two-tenths
in the Douglas Fir region. (See table 9.) Almost all
8
Payments for saw rentals made to fallers and buckers
were excluded from the earnings data developed by the sur­
vey. Most logging establishments had provisions for saw
rental payments, usually based on the number o f board feet
cut or on an hourly basis.

3

workers on late shifts receive a pay differential over
day-shift rates, most commonly 9 or 10 cents an
hour.
Paid holidays. Paid holidays were provided by es­
tablishments employing nine-tenths of the production
workers in sawmills and planing mills and seven-tenths
of the logging workers. (See table 10.) Provisions
for 7 paid holidays a year applied to a majority of
the workers in all regions, with the exception of log­
ging workers in the Northern District of the Western
Pine region. Only about half of these workers were
provided paid holidays, most commonly 6 or 7 days
a year.
Paid vacations. Paid vacations, after qualifying
periods of service, were provided to more than ninetenths of the workers in sawmills and planing mills
and to four-fifths of the logging workers. (See
table 11.) Typical provisions for paid vacations were
1 week of vacation pay after 1 year of service, 2
weeks after 3 years, and at least 3 weeks after 10
years. Provisions for 4 and 5 weeks of paid vacation
were more prevalent for logging workers than for
workers in sawmills and planing mills.
Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Life, acci­
dental death and dismemberment, hospitalization, sur­




4

gical, and medical insurance— for which employers
paid at least part of the cost— was provided by es­
tablishments employing nine-tenths or more of the
workers in sawmills and planing mills. (See table 12.)
Major medical insurance applied to nearly three-fifths
of the workers and sickness and accident insurance
to a slightly smaller proportion. Within each region,
the incidence of the health and insurance benefits
was usually greater for workers in sawmills and plan­
ing mills than for logging workers.
Retirement pension benefits (other than Federal
social security) were provided to seven-tenths of the
sawmill and logging workers. Such benefits were less
prevalent in the Northern District of the Western
Pine region than in other regions.
Jury duty leave. The percent of workers in es­
tablishments with formal provisions for full or partial
pay while serving on a jury is shown in the following
