Appendix A: Scope and Method of Survey
Scope of Survey
The survey included establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing men’ s and
boys’ work shirts, pants, and other work clothing and washable service apparel (industry
2328 as defined in the 1957 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared
by the U .S . Bureau of the Budget).
Separate auxiliary units such as central offices were
excluded.
The establishments studied were selected from those employing 20 or more workers
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 within the scope of the survey during the payroll period
studied, are shown in the table below.

38
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
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
presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industry, excluding only those
below the minimum size at the time of reference of the universe data.
Establishment Definition
An establishment, for purposes of this study, is defined as a single physical location
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 report, 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.
Occupations Selected for Study
The occupational classification was based on a uniform set of job descriptions de­
signed to take account of inter establishment and interarea variations in duties within the same
job.
(See appendix B for listing of these job descriptions.)
The occupations were chosen
for their numerical importance, their usefulness in collective bargaining, or their representa­
tiveness 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 pro­
duction 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 s t-o fliving bonuses, were included as part of the workers' regular pay; but nonproduction bonus
payments, such as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.
The hourly earnings of
salaried workers were obtained by dividing straight-time salary by normal rather than
actual h o u rs.8
Comparison With Other Statistics
The straight-time hourly earnings presented in this report differ in concept from
the gross average hourly earnings published in the Bureau’ s monthly hours and earnings
series.
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 from
the weighted data by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing by the number of such
individuals.
In the monthly series, the sum of the man-hour totals reported by establish­
ments in the industry were divided into the reported payroll totals.

8 Average hourly rates or earnings for each occupation or other group of workers,
such as men, women, or production workers, were obtained by weighting each rate (or hourly
earnings) by the number of workers receiving the rate.




39
The estimates of employment shown in this report differ from those in the Bureau*s
monthly employment series because of differences in the industrial classification of a number
of sample establishments.
It was found during the survey that establishments reported recent
product changes which are reflected in this study but not in the monthly series.
Size of Community
Tabulations by size of community pertain to metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas.
The term "metropolitan area, " as used in this report, refers to the Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Areas established under the sponsorship of the U .S . Bureau of the Budget.
Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area is defined as a
county or group of contiguous counties which contains at least 1 city of 50, 000 or more in­
habitants.
Contiguous counties to the one containing such a city are included in a Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area, if, according to certain criteria, they are essentially m etro­
politan 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 Areas.
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 (Z) none or
a minority of the production workers covered by labor-management contracts.
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Supplementary benefits and practices were treated statistically on the basis that if
formal provisions for supplementary benefits and practices were applicable to half or more
of the production workers in an e s t a b l i s h m e n t ,
the practices or benefits were considered
applicable to all such workers.
Similarly, if fewer than half of the workers were covered,
the practice or benefit was considered nonexistent in the establishment.
Because of lengthof-service and other eligibility requirements, the proportion of workers receiving the bene­
fits may be smaller than estimated.
Because of rounding, the sums of individual i t e m s may
not equal totals.
Minimum Rates.
Minimum entrance rates presented refer to the lowest formal
rate established for inexperienced tim e-rated plant workers in unskilled occupations.
Mini­
mum job rates refer to the lowest formal rate established for experienced time-rated plant
workers in unskilled occupations.
Watchmen, apprentices, handicapped, and superannuated
workers are excluded from each group.
Weekly Hours.
Data refer to the predominant work schedule for full-time production
workers employed on the day shift, r e g a r d l e s s o f s e x .
Paid Holidays.
provided annually.

Paid-holiday provisions

relate to full-day

and half-day holidays

Paid Vacations.
The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal arrangements,
excluding informal plans under which 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 Z percent of annual earnings was considered the equivalent of 1 week1s 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 provisions
for progression.
For example, the changes in proportions indicated at 5 years of service
include changes in provisions which may have occurred after 4 years.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans.
Data are presented for all health, insurance,
and pension plans for which all or a part of the cost is borne by the employer, excluding
only 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.




40

Death benefits are included as a form of life insurance.
Sickness and accident in­
surance 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 disa­
bility.
Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes at
least a part of the cost.
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; infor­
mal arrangements have been omitted. Separate tabulations are provided according to (l) plans
which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (Z) 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
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 ex­
pense which goes beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to plans which provide upon retire­
ment regular payments for the remainder of the worker's life.
Nonproduction Bonuses. Nonproduction bonuses are defined for this study as bonuses
that depend on factors other than the output of the individual worker or group of workers.
Plans that defer payments beyond 1 year were excluded.




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 is essential in order to
permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing
comparable job content.
Because of this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupa­
tional 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 in­
structed to exclude working supervisors,
apprentices,
learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-tim e,
temporary, and probationary workers.

CUTTER,

MACHINE

Operates or guides the moving knife or blade of a powered cutting machine along
a pattern outline to cut out articles from single or multiple layers of fabric.

to pressing or shipping.
Work involves determining whether the garments conform to
shop standards of quality, and marking defects such as dropped stitches, bad seam s, etc.
In many shops manufacturing inexpensive garments, there will be no inspectors falling
within this classification; in such shops, inspection is usually carried on together with
thread trimming. See inspector, final (and thread trimmer) and thread trimm er (cleaner).
