Industry Wage Survey
W ood Household Furniture, Except Upholstered, May—
June .1965
Summary
Straight-time hourly earnings of production workers in the nonupholstered
wood household furniture industry averaged $ 1.71 in May—
June 1965. The average
was nearly 9 percent more than in July 1962 when the Bureau conducted a sim i
lar survey. Ninety-eight percent of the 120, 000 workers covered by the current
survey1 earned between $ 1 .2 5 and $ 3 an hour, with the middle half earning
between $ 1.40 and $ 1.92. At the lower end of the earnings array, 8 percent of
the workers earned less than $ 1.30 and 39 percent earned less than $ 1.50.
Regionally, average earnings of all workers ranged from $ 2.56 an hour
in the Pacific to $ 1.46 in the Southwest.2 Workers in the numerically important
Southeast region averaged $ 1.50 an hour. Among the areas of industry concen
tration that were studied separately, average hourly earnings ranged from $ 2.64
in Los Angeles—
Long Beach to $ 1.50 in M artinsville, Va.
Industry Characteristics
Economic and Employment Trends. The survey covered a period of
generally favorable business conditions for the industry. Officials of many of
the establishments visited— particularly those in the Southeast region— stated that
there was a strong market for their products. Several companies had recently
increased the length of the workweek in an effort to fill large backlogs of customer
orders. Some employers, particularly in the Southeast, indicated that they were
having difficulty in obtaining workers at all skill levels.
Several of the establishments visited identified the types of technological
improvements that had been made recently.
Among these were the instal
lation of machines that automatically apply glue and electronically bond the
wood— thereby eliminating the need for rough stock gluers, automatic sanding
machines and off-bearing devices, and the use of new finishes which do not
require rubbing. The use of plastics materials as a wood substitute also appeared
to be increasing.
These m aterials— high pressure laminates— involve special
tools and handling.
Establishments within scope of the survey (primarily engaged in manu
facturing nonupholstered wood household furniture and having 20 workers or more)
employed 120, 000 production and related workers in May—
June 1965, compared
with 106, 000 in July 1962, when a similar survey was conducted by the Bureau.3
This reflects a gradual increase in employment over the 3-year period. In each
of the 3 years, employment during the months of May, June, and July were about
the same and a few thousand less than the peak employment which is reached
during the last quarter of the year.

During both survey periods, men accounted for approximately nine-tenths
of the employment. The distribution of employment among regions also remained
virtually the same between 1962 and 1965.
Location. Approximately two-fifths of the production workers covered
by the current survey were in the Southeast region, with important concentrations
in the HickoryHStatesville, N .C ., and Winston-Salem—
High Point, N .C ., areas.
One-sixth of the workers were in the Great Lakes region, with Indiana accounting
for nearly half of this employment. The Border and Middle Atlantic regions each
employed about one-eighth of the industry's work force. Among the areas studied
separately, the largest numbers of workers were in the two Southeast areas
previously mentioned and in M artinsville, V a., and Los Angeles—
Long Beach.
Metropolitan areas accounted for about two-fifths of the employees
covered by the study. More than four-fifths of the workers in the Pacific region
and three-fifths in the Southwest were employed in metropolitan areas; in the
other regions, the proportions were approximately a third in the Border States
and Great Lakes and about a fourth in New England and the Southeast.
Products. Bedroom furniture was the principal product of establishments
employing a majority of the workers in the Border, Southeast, and Southwest
regions and two-fifths of the workers in the Pacific region. One-third of the
workers in the Great Lakes region were in establishments prim arily engaged in
manufacturing radio, television, and phonograph cabinets and one-fourth in plants
producing other living room, library, sunroom, and hall furniture; substantial
proportions were in establishments manufacturing dining room and kitchen (except
cabinets) furniture, kitchen cabinets, and bedroom furniture.
Three-tenths of
the workers in the Middle Atlantic region were in establishments prim arily
producing kitchen cabinets, with most of the remainder about equally distributed
among establishments manufacturing radio, television, and phonograph cabinets;
other living room, library, sunroom, and hall furniture; dining room and kitchen
furniture (except cabinets); bedroom furniture; and outdoor and unpainted furni
ture. The most common principal product in New England was dining room and
kitchen (except cabinets) furniture. Nationwide, three-fifths of the workers were
in establishments producing more than one major type of furniture. Frequently,
establishments* prim arily manufacturing bedroom furniture also made dining room
furniture.
Establishment Size. Only 12 of the 1, 005 plants within scope of the
survey employed as many as 1, 000 workers, and only 49 as many as 500.
Two-fifths employed fewer than 50 workers; nearly one-fourth, 50 but fewer
than 100; another fifth, 100 but fewer than 250; and nearly one-tenth, 250 but
fewer than 500. Plants with fewer than 250 workers accounted for four-fifths
of the employment in the Middle Atlantic region, three-fourths in the Pacific,
two-thirds in New England, three-fifths in the Great Lakes, between two-fifths
and one-half in the Southwest, three-tenths in the Southeast, and one-fifth in
the Border States.
Union Contract Coverage. Establishments with union contracts covering
a majority of their production workers employed slightly more than one-third of
the industry's work force.
The proportion of workers in such establishments
was substantially lower in the Border, Southeast, and Southwest than in the other
regions. Regional proportions by establishment size are provided in the tabulation
on the following page.

1 Insufficient data to warrant presentation.
The United Furniture Workers and the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners were the major unions in the industry.
The Upholsterers* Inter
national Union also had contracts covering a significant proportion of the produc
tion workers.
Method of Wage Payment. Slightly more than four-fifths of the production
workers were paid time rates, usually determined on the basis of the workers*
qualifications. (See table 24.) The proportions of workers paid on an incentive
basis were: less than one-tenth in the Southeast and Pacific regions, one-eighth
in the Border States, and between one-fourth and two-fifths in the remaining
regions.
Average Hourly Earnings
Straight-time earnings of the production and related workers covered
by the survey averaged $ 1.71 an hour in May—
June 1965, compared with $ 1.57
in July 1962 when the Bureau conducted a similar survey of the industry* s wage
structure.4 Part of this 9-percent increase appears to be due to an increase in
the Federal minimum wage from $ 1 .1 5 to $ 1 .2 5 an hour, effective September 3,
1963. Other factors including general wage increases granted during the 3-year
period, however, were equally or more important.
Thus, the increase in the
Great Lakes region, where only 7 percent of the workers earned less than $ 1.25
in July 1962, was about the same (12 percent) as the increase in the Southeast
region where 31 percent earned less than this amount at the time of the earlier
survey.

The straight-time average hourly earnings in this bulletin differ in concept from the gross average hourly
earnings published in the Bureau's monthly hours and earnings series ($1.84 in June 1965). Unlike the latter, 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 of the man-hour totals reported by establishments in the industry was divided into the
reported payroll totals.
The estimate of the number of production workers within scope of the study is intended only as a general guide
to the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. It differs from the number published in the
monthly series (143,300 in June 1965) by the exclusion of establishments employing fewer than 20 workers and because
the advance planning necessary to make the survey requires the use of lists of establishments assembled considerably
in advance of data collection. Thus, establishments new to the industry are omitted, as are establishments originally
classified in the nonupholstered wood household furniture industry but found to be in other industries at the time of
the survey. Also omitted are establishments manufacturing nonupholstered wood household furniture, but classified
incorrectly in other industries at the time the lists were compiled.

Workers in the Southeast region averaged $ 1.50 an hour in May—
June
1965— about midway between the averages recorded for the Border States ($ 1.55)
and Southwest region ($ 1.46). Nearly identical averages were reported for the
Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic regions— $ 1.93 and $ 1.91, respectively.
The
average for workers in the Pacific region^ ($ 2.56) was nearly 50 percent above
the national average.
Nationally, men averaged $ 1 . 7 3 ' an hour, compared with $ 1 .5 5 for
women. Men accounted for nine-tenths of the workers or more in 4 of the
7 regions for which separate data are provided and for four-fifths of the work
ers in the Great Lakes, New England, and Southwest regions. Earnings of
men and women were only 5 cents apart in the Southwest region. In all other
regions, men*s earnings averaged substantially more than those for women,
ranging from about 10 percent in the Border States and Southeast to slightly
more than 20 percent in the New England and Pacific regions. Differences in
average pay levels for men and women may be the result of several factors
including variations in the distribution of the sexes among establishments and
among jobs with divergent pay levels.
Workers in metropolitan a r e a s 5 averaged 24 cents an hour more than
workers in the sm aller communities.
This relationship, however, was not
consistent among the regions.
In both the New England and Southwest regions,
workers in smaller communities averaged a few cents an hour more than those
in metropolitan areas and in the Middle Atlantic region, the wage advantage of
workers in metropolitan areas amounted to only a few cents. The comparatively
low-wage Southeast region accounted for less than one-fourth of the employment
in metropolitan areas but for nearly half of the employment in nonmetropol
itan areas.
Similarly, regional relationships between the earnings of workers in
plants with 250 workers or more and those in the sm aller plants were mixed.
Earnings of the two groups of workers averaged about the same in the New
England, Middle Atlantic, Border States, and Great Lakes regions, whereas in
the Southeast and Southwest, workers in the larger plants averaged about 10 cents
more per hour than those in plants with fewer than 250 employees.
Nationally, and in each of the seven regions, workers in establishments
with collective bargaining agreements averaged more than those in establishments
not having such agreements. As indicated in table 1, however, the difference
was much less in the Southeast and Southwest than in the other regions.
In considering the wage differences noted in the preceeding paragraphs
and in a following discussion of occupational earnings, it must be emphasized
that in a study such as this it is not possible to isolate the influence of each
factor as a determinant of wages.
To illustrate their interrelationship, estab
lishments with labor-management contracts accounted for almost half of the
workers in metropolitan areas compared with slightly more than a fourth in
nonmetropolitan areas.
The relationships differed, however, among regions;
for example, slightly more than a tenth of the nonmetropolitan area workers in
the Border States were in union establishments, compared with three-fifths
in the Great Lakes region. Establishments with labor-management contracts
accounted for two-thirds of the workers in plants with 250 workers or more in
the Great Lakes region compared with approximately one-sixth in the Border
States and Southeast regions.
Earnings of nearly all production workers were within a range of $ 1.25
to $ 3 an hour, with the middle half of the workers earning between $ 1.40 and
$ 1.92 (table 2).
The distribution of workers in the individual earnings arrays

varied substantially among the seven regions shown separately. For example,
about one-half of the workers in the Border States, three-fifths in the Southeast,
and two-thirds in the Southwest earned less than $ 1.50 an hour compared with
a third in New England, less than a fifth in the Middle Atlantic, an eighth in
the Great Lakes, and none in the Pacific.
Occupational Earnings
The occupational classifications for which data are presented in table 3
accounted for nearly one-half of the production workers covered by the study.
Nationwide averages for these occupations were highest for general utility
maintenance men ($ 2.01) and operators of hand shapers who set up and operate
the machines ($2)— and lowest for machine off-bearers ($1 .51).
Case goods
assem blers, numerically the most important job studied separately, averaged
$ 1.89. Other numerically important jobs and their averages were: machine
furniture sanders, $ 1.70; hand furniture sanders, $ 1.58; and sprayers, $ 1.85.
Among the occupations for which data could be presented for all regions, average
earnings were generally highest in the Pacific region and lowest in the Southeast
or Southwest, with differences usually amounting to 60 percent or more.
Men largely outnumbered women in each of the survey jobs, by a ratio
of more than 9 to 1 in all except chair assem blers, furniture packers, and hand
rubbers and sanders. Earnings of women averaged substantially less than those
of men employed in the same job and region in nearly all instances for which
data could be published for both sexes.
These wage differences were due only
in part to differences within individual establishments.
They also reflect other
factors including differences in the employment of men and women among plants
having dissim ilar wage policies.
As illustrated in the following tabulation of regional and area pay dif
ferences, regional averages for the jobs shown usually exceeded the national
averages by 40 to 50 percent in the Pacific, and 5 to 15 percent in the New
England, Middle Atlantic, and Great Lakes regions:

Job relatives also varied considerably among the 12 areas studied sep
arately and in most instances were generally sim ilar to regional pay relatives.
One notable exception was the Louisville area where averages for each of the
jobs shown exceeded the national averages by amounts ranging from 8 to 54 per
cent. In contrast, averages for the Border States region, in which Louisville
is located, ranged from 6 to 15 percent below the national averages.
Occupational averages were usually higher in metropolitan areas than
in smaller communities (table 4). Regionally, however, averages were generally
higher in nonmetropolitan areas than in larger communities in New England, the
Middle Atlantic, and the Southwest.
In nearly all regions, permitting comparisons, averages for workers in
the same job classification were usually higher in establishments with 250 workers
or more than in sm aller establishments (table 5), and nearly always higher in
establishments with a majority of their workers covered by labor-management
agreements than in those without such coverage, even when comparisons were
limited to the same community or establishment size group (tables 6—
8).
Nationwide, and within each of the regions for which data are presented
in table 9, workers paid on an incentive basis in the selected occupations nearly
always had higher average earnings than those paid time rates. Occupational
earnings differentials between those paid time rates and those paid on an incentive
basis varied considerably by region and occupation. For example, the regional pay
advantage held by incentive-paid machine belt sanders ranged from 2 cents an
hour more than tim e-rated workers in the Middle Atlantic to 71 cents more in
New England; in comparison, the wage advantages held by incentive-paid furniture
packers in these two regions were 49 cents and 62 cents, respectively.
Earnings of individuals performing sim ilar work varied substantially
within some of the areas studied separately (tables 10 through 22). Thus, as illu s
trated in the following tabulation, earnings of some men case goods assem blers
in comparatively low-wage areas, as measured by the average for all workers
in the job, earned more than some workers in areas for which substantially
higher averages were recorded.

Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Data were also obtained on work schedules and selected supplementarybenefits including paid holidays and vacations; and various health, insurance, and
pension plans for production and* office workers.
Scheduled Weekly Hours. Work schedules of 40 hours a week applied
to nearly two-thirds of the production workers (table 25). Virtually all of the
remaining workers were in plants with longer work schedules— usually 45 hours
or more per week. Forty-hour schedules were predominant in each region
except New England and the Great Lakes where the longer work schedules were
more common. Slightly more than nine-tenths of the office employees were
scheduled to work 40 hours a week at the time of the study.
Overtime Premium Pay. Pay of 1 V2 times the regular rate for work
in excess of 40 hours a week was almost universally provided both office and
production workers. Provisions for pay of 1 V2 times the regular rate for work
in excess of 8 hours a day were in effect in establishments accounting for nearly
two-fifths of the production workers (table 26). Regionally, the proportions in
plants with this provision varied greatly and ranged from one-eighth in the Border
States to nearly three-fourths in the Pacific. Only about one-third of the office
workers, however, were in plants paying time and one-half for work after 8 hours
a day.
Shift Differential Provisions. Shift differential provisions for work on
the second shift were in effect in plants accounting for slightly more than one-half
of the production workers; about one-fifth were in plants having such provisions
for work on the third or other late shifts (table 27).
The most common pro
vision nationally and in most of the regions was 10 cents an hour in addition to
day shift rates for sim ilar work. At the time of the study, slightly less than
5 percent of the workers were employed on the second shift and less than 1 per
cent on third or other late shifts.
Paid Holidays. Paid holidays, ranging from 1 to 11 days annually, were
provided by establishments accounting for three-fourths of the production workers
(table 28). Regionally, the proportions were: slightly less than one-half in the
Border States, three-fifths in the Southeast, seven-eighths in the Southwest, and
virtually all in the remaining regions. The most common provisions were 6 full
days in New England, the Border States, Southwest, and Great Lakes; 7 full
days in the Middle Atlantic and Pacific; whereas, provisions for 3, 4, or 5 days
were of nearly equal importance in the Southeast. Paid holiday provisions were
somewhat more liberal for office than for production workers.
Paid Vacations. Paid vacations after qualifying periods of service were
provided by establishments accounting for more than nine-tenths of the production
workers (table 29). The most prevalent provisions, applying to at least a majority
of the production workers, were 1 week after 1 year of service and 2 weeks
after 5 years.
Three weeks of paid vacation or more were provided by plants
accounting for about one-eighth of the workers after 10 years of service, one-fifth
after 15 years, and a fourth after 20 years. Virtually all office workers were
in establishments with provisions for paid vacations.
The most common pro
visions, applying to at least a majority of the office workers, were 1 week after.
1 year of service and 2 weeks after 3 years.
Three weeks were provided by
plants accounting for a tenth of the office workers after 10 years, a fifth after
15 years, and slightly larger proportions after 20 and 25 years of service.
8
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans. Life, hospitalization, and surgical
insurance was available to about nine-tenths of the production workers and slightly
smaller proportions of the office workers in the industry (table 30). Provisions
for accidental death and dismemberment, sickness and accident, and medical
insurance were also in effect in establishments accounting for approximately
three-fifths of both groups of workers. Benefits paid for entirely by the employer
and those to which employees made financial contributions were of about equal
importance. Provisions for most of these benefits were somewhat less liberal
in the Southwest than in other regions.
Pension benefits providing regular payments for the remainder of the
worker’ s life upon retirement (other than those available under social security)
were available to slightly more than one-third of the production and office workers.
Regionally, the proportions of both groups of workers in plants with this provision
ranged from slightly more than one-fifth in the Great Lakes to a majority in the
Border States.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of Survey
The survey included establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing wood house
hold furniture, except upholstered, commonly used in dwellings (SIC 2511 as defined in the
1957 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual and the 1963 Supplement, pre
pared by the U .S. Bureau of the Budget). Manufacturers of wood kitchen cabinets on a factory
basis, and camp furniture were included.
Separate auxiliary units such as central offices
were excluded.
The establishments studied were selected from those employing 20 workers or more
at the time of reference of the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The number of establishments and workers actually studied by the Bureau, as well
as the number estimated to be in the industry during the payroll period studied are shown
in the following table.

2 For definition of the respective areas, see footnote 1, tables 10—22.
3 Includes only establishments with 20 workers or more at the time of reference of the universe data.
Includes executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the production and office worker categories shown separately.
5 Includes data for regions in addition to those shown separately. Alaska and Hawaii were not included in the study.
Method of Study
Data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists under the direction
of the Bureau's Assistant Regional Directors for Wages and Industrial Relations. The survey
was conducted on a sample basis.
To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a
53
54
greater proportion of large than of small establishments was studied. In combining the data,
however, all establishments were given their appropriate weight.
All estimates are pre
sented, 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.
Establishment Definition
An establishment, for purposes of this study, is defined as a single physical loca
tion where industrial operations are performed. An establishment is not necessarily identical
with the company, which may consist of one or more establishments.
Employment
The 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 labor force included in the survey.
The advance planning necessary to make a wage survey requires the use of lists of estab
lishments assembled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied.
Production Workers
The term "production workers, " as used in this bulletin, includes working foremen
and all nonsupervisory workers engaged in nonoffice functions.
Administrative, executive,
professional, and technical personnel, and force-account construction employees, who were
utilized as a separate work force on the firm 's own properties, were excluded.
Office Workers
The term "office w ork ers," as used in this bulletin, includes all nonsupervisory office
employees and excludes administrative, executive, professional, and technical employees.
Occupations Selected for Study
Occupational classification was based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed
to take account of inter establishment and interarea variations in duties within the same job.
(See appendix B for these job descriptions.) The occupations were chosen for their numerical
importance, their usefulness in collective bargaining, or their representativeness of the
entire job scale in the industry.
Working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners,
trainees, handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers were not reported
in the data for selected occupations, but were included in the data for all production workers.
Wage Data
The wage information relates to average 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 c o st-o fliving bonuses were included as part of the workers' regular pay; but nonproduction bonus
payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.
Average hourly rates or earnings for each occupation or other group of workers,
such as men, women, or 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 were obtained by dividing
their straight-time salary by normal rather than actual hours.
Size of Community
Tabulations by size of community pertain to metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas.
The term "metropolitan area, " as used in this bulletin, refers to the Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Areas as defined by the U .S . Bureau of the Budget in 1961.
Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area is defined as a
county or group of contiguous counties which contains at least one city of 50, 000 inhabitants
or more.
Contiguous counties to the one containing such a city are included in a Standard
55
Metropolitan Statistical Area, if, according to certain criteria, they are essentially m et
ropolitan 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 Metropolitan Statistical A reas.
Labor-Management Agreements
Separate wage data are presented, where possible, for establishments with (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.
Method of Wage Payment
Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to the number of workers paid under
the various time and incentive wage system s. Formal rate structures for tim e-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 with reference to the qualifi
cations 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. Individual
experienced workers may occasionally be paid above or below the single rate for special
reasons, but such payments are regarded as exceptions. Range of rate plans are those in
which the minimum and/or maximum 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 various concepts of merit and length of service.
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 based
on production in excess of a quota or for completion of a job in less than standard time.
Scheduled Weekly Hours
Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work schedule for full-tim e produc
tion workers (or office workers) employed on the day shift.
Overtime Premium Pay
Provisions for overtime premium pay were considered as applying to all production
workers in an establishment if half or more of such workers were covered, and nonexistent
in an establishment if fewer than half were covered. Daily overtime refers to work in excess
of a specified number of hours a day, regardless of the number of hours worked on previous
days of the pay period. Weekly overtime refers to work in excess of a specified number of
hours per week, regardless of the day on which it is performed, the number of hours per
day, or number of days worked.
Shift Provisions and Practices
Shift provisions relate to the policies of establishments either currently operating
late shifts or having formal provisions covering late shift work. Practices relate to workers
employed on late shifts at the time of the survey.
Supplementary Wage Provisions
Supplementary benefits were treated statistically on the basis that if formal pro
visions were applicable to half or more of the production workers (or office workers) in an
establishment, the benefits were considered applicable to all such workers.
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 requirements, the proportion
of workers receiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated. Because of rounding, the
sums of individual items may not equal totals.
Paid Holidays.
provided annually.
Paid holiday provisions
relate to full-day and half-day holidays
56
Paid Vacations.
The summaries of vacation plans are limited to formal arrange
ments, excluding informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of
the employer or the 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 were selected as representative of the
most common practices, but they do not necessarily reflect individual establishment pro
visions for progression.
For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 5 years of
service may include changes which occurred between 3 and 5 years.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans.
Data are presented for health, insurance,
and pension plans for which all or a part of the cost is borne by the employer, excluding
programs required by law, such as workmen's compensation and social security.
Among
the 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 presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes at least a part
of the cost.
However, in New York and New Jersey, where temporary disability insurance
laws require employer contributions, 6 plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes
more than is legally required or (2) provides the employees with benefits which exceed the
requirements of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to formal plans 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 according to (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
doctor's fees.
Such plans may be underwritten by a commercial insurance company or a
nonprofit organization, or they may be self-insured.
Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as extended medical insurance, in
cludes the plans designed to cover employees in case of sickness or injury involving an
expense which goes beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgi
cal plans.
ment,
6
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide, on retire
regular payments for the remainder of the worker's life.
The temporary disability insurance laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.
Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions
for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff
in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are
employed under a variety of payroll titles and different
work arrangements from establishment to establishment
and from area to area. This permits the grouping of oc
cupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
Because of this emphasis on inter establishment and inter area 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 economists are instructed to exclude working super
visors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handi
capped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
