3 The work clothing industry employed about 66,200 production workers in July 1953 and 51,6 0 0 in May—
June 1961.
See Industry Wage Survey: Work Clothing, May—June 1961 (BLS Bulletin 1321, 1962), p. 2.
4 U. S. Bureau of the Census, Current Industrial Reports, Apparel Survey, 1962, Series M23A(62)2; and Men's
Apparel, June 1964 and Men's Apparel, July 1964, Series M23B(64)6 and 7.
5 Establishments were classified according to their major method of production as follows: (1) Line system—
an operation in which parts of garments move down a line as each sewing-machine operator performs a standard task
on a piece and then passes it on to the next operator, usually by means of a slide board or chute, for further process­
ing; ( 2 ) bundle system— an operation in which bundles of garments or parts of garments are distributed to individual
operators who perform one or more operations on a number of identical pieces and rebundle the garments for move­
ment to another operator; and (3) progressive bundle system— an operation in which the bundles of garments flow in
a logical order of work from operator to operator, each performing one or two assigned tasks on various pieces in the
bundle.
Since the procedure is standardized, the need for checking in and reassigning the work, as under the bundle
system, is eliminated.

Establishments employing an estimated 15 percent of the workers contributed to union-administered health and
welfare funds from which selected benefits were provided to the employees.
Such plans have been included in the

tabulations.




7
M inim um R a te s. 10
M inim um entrance and job rates were reported by
nearly all the establishm ents visited (table 22).
N ine-tenths reported $ 1 .2 5 an
hour as their m inim um entrance rate and fo u r-fifth s reported $ 1 .2 5 as their
m inim um job rate.
Of the other m inim um rates recorded, $ 1 .3 0 and $ 1 .3 5
were m ost com m on.
M inim um entrance and job rates w ere identical in fo u r fifths of the establish m en ts; in the oth ers, 5, 10, or 15 cents m ost com m only
separated the two m inim um ra te s. An hourly rate of $ 1. 25 was the predominant
entrance m inim um in each region and the predominant job m inim um in all except
the Middle W est, where a wide variety of rates was reported.
Scheduled W eekly Hours and O vertim e P rem ium P a y .
Work schedules
of 40 hours a week were in effect in establishm ents employing m ore than nin etenths of the w orkers in each region (table 24).
W ork schedules other than
40 hours applied to sm all proportions of the w orkers in the Border States, South­
w est, Great L akes, and Middle W est region s.
Virtually all w orkers were in establishm ents providing tim e and one-half
pay for work after 40 hours a week; half the w orkers w ere in establishm ents with
sim ila r pay policies for work after 8 hours daily. The latter applied to a m a ­
jo rity of the w orkers in all region s, except the Border States and Southeast.
Shift P r a c tic e s . Second shifts accounted for about 6 percent of the w ork­
ers at the tim e of the study; third shifts were not operating in any of the e sta b ­
lishm ents visited. Shift differential pay was not com m only provided.
Among the
regions studied separately, second shifts were found operating only in the Border
States, Southeast, and Southwest region s.
Paid H olidays. Paid holidays, m ost com m only 6 or 7 days annually,
were provided to tw o-th irds of the industry's production w orkers (table 25).
R e­
gionally, the proportions of w orkers in establishm ents providing paid holidays
were half in the Southeast, th re e-fifth s in the Southwest, seven-tenths in the
Border States, and nine-tenths or m ore in the Great L akes, Middle Atlantic,
Middle W est, and P a cific.

Paid V aca tion s. Paid vacations, after qualifying periods of se rv ice , were
provided by establishm ents employing nine-tenths of the w orkers (table 26).
One
w eek's vacation pay after 1 year of service applied to fo u r-fifth s of the w ork ers;
2 w eeks' pay after 5 y e a r s, to slightly m ore than th r e e -fifth s ; and m ore than
2 w eeks' pay after 15 y e a rs, to about an eighth of the w o rk ers.
In general, v a ­
cation provisions were m ore lib era l in the Middle Atlantic, Great Lakes, Middle
W est, and Pacific than in the three southern regions.

Health, Insurance, Pension, and Severance P la n s .
L ife, h o sp ita li­
zation, and surgical insurance, for which em ployers paid all or part of the cost,
w ere available to at least seven-tenths of the w o rk ers; accidental death and d is ­
m em berm ent insurance, to a third; and sickness and accident and m edical in su r­
ance, to about th ree-tenths (table 27). Sick leave and catastrophe insurance were
ra rely provided. Regionally, the proportions of w orkers covered by these benefits
varied considerably; life insurance, for exam ple, was available to about half the
w orkers in the Border States, com pared with fo u r-fifth s in the P a cific.

1 For this study, minimum entrance and job rates are defined as the lowest established rates for inexperienced
0
and experienced time-rated workers, respectively, in unskilled occupations, except watchmen, apprentices, handicapped,
and superannuated workers.




8
Pension plans, providing regular payments on retirem ent for the r e ­
mainder of the w orkers life (in addition to F ed eral social security benefits) were
provided by establishm ents employing a fourth of the production w o rk ers.
R e­
gionally, the proportions ranged fro m an eighth of the w orkers in the Border States
to nearly th ree-fo u rth s in the P a cific.
Plans providing lu m p -su m payments at
retirem en t, as w ell as payments for separation due to technological change, were
seldom found in the industry.

Nonproduction B on uses. Nonproduction bonuses were provided by e sta b ­
lishm ents employing tw o-fifth s of the production w orkers (table 28). R egionally,
the proportions of w orkers ranged fro m about a fifth in the Middle Atlantic and
Middle W est to fo u r-fifth s in the P a cific.
Except in the Great L akes, where
p rofit-sh a rin g plans applied to a fourth of the w o rk ers, C h ristm as or yearend
bonuses were the types m ost com m only provided.

Other Selected B e n e fits.
Pay for jury duty was provided in e sta b lish ­
ments employing an eighth of the w o rk ers.
This benefit applied to a third of
the w orkers in the P acific, about a sixth in the Southeast and Middle W est, nearly
an eighth in the Southwest, and le s s than a tenth in the Border States and Middle
Atlantic region; none of the establishm ents visited in the Great Lakes provided
paid jury duty leave.

Funeral leave pay was ra rely available to the w o rk ers.
The proportions
of w orkers covered by paid funeral leave provisions did not exceed 5 percent of
the work force in any of the four regions where they were recorded (Border States,
Southwest, Great L akes, and Middle W est).
