D epartm ent of Labor* s Bureau of Labor S ta tistics has conducted su rveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areaw ide b a sis. In this area, data w ere obtained by personal v isits of B ureau field econ om ists to rep resen tative estab lish m en ts w ithin six broad industry d ivisions: M anufacturing; transportation , 1 com m unication, and other public u tilities; w h olesale trade; reta il trade; fin ance, insuran ce, and rea l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor in dustry groups excluded from th ese studies are governm ent operations and the con struction and extractive in d u stries. E stab lish m en ts having few er than a p rescrib ed num ber of w orkers are om itted also because they furnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w a r rant in clu sion . W herever p o ssib le, separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry d iv isio n s. T hese su rveys are conducted on a sam ple b a sis because of the u n n ecessary co st involved in surveying a ll estab lish m en ts. To obtain appropriate accu racy at m inim um c o st, a greater proportion of large than of sm all estab lish m en ts is studied. In com bining the data, how ever, a ll estab lish m en ts are given their appropriate w eight. E stim a tes b ased on the estab lish m en ts studied are p resented, th erefore, as r e lating to all estab lish m en ts in the industry grouping and area, e x cep t for those below the m inim um siz e studied. O ccupations and E arnings The occupations selec te d for study are com m on to a variety of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in d u stries. O ccupational c la s sifica tio n is based on a uniform se t of job d escrip tion s designed to take account of in terestab lish m en t variation in duties w ithin the sam e job. (See appendix for listin g of th ese d escrip tio n s.) E arnings data are p resen ted (in the A -s e r ie s tab les) for the follow ing types of occupa tions: (a) O ffice c le rica l; (b) p ro fession a l and technical; (c) m ain te nance and power plant; and (d) custodial and m aterial m ovem ent. O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w o rk ers, i. e . , those h ired to work a regular w eekly sch ed ule in the given occupational c la ssifica tio n . E arnings data exclude prem ium pay for overtim e and for work on w eekends, h olid ays, and 1 R ailroads, form erly excluded from the scope of th ese stu d ies, have been added in n early a ll of the areas to be studied during the w inter of 1959-60; railroad s w ill be added in the rem aining areas next y ea r. F or scope of survey in this area, se e footnote to "transporta tion, com m unication, and other public u tilities" in table 1 . late sh ifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded a lso , but c o st-o fliving bonuses and incentive earnings are included. W here w eekly hours are reported, as for office c le r ic a l occu p ation s, referen ce is to the work sched ules (rounded to the n ea rest half hour) for which straigh t-tim e sa la rie s are paid; average w eekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the n ea rest half d ollar. A verage earnings of m en and wom en are presented sep arately for selected occupations in which both sex es are com m only em ployed. D ifferen ces in pay le v e ls of m en and wom en in th ese occupations are la rg ely due to (l) d ifferen ces in the distribution of the sex es am ong in d u stries and estab lish m en ts; (2 ) d ifferen ces in sp ecific duties p er form ed, although the occupations are appropriately c la ssifie d w ithin the sam e survey job description; and (3) d ifferen ces in length of s e r v ice or m erit review when individual sa la r ie s are adjusted on this b asis. L onger average serv ic e of m en would resu lt in. higher average pay when both se x e s are em ployed w ithin the sam e rate range. Job d escrip tion s used in cla ssify in g em p loyees in these su rveys are u su ally m ore gen era lized than those u sed in individual estab lish m en ts to allow for m inor d ifferen ces am ong estab lish m en ts in sp ecific duties perform ed. O ccupational em ploym ent estim a tes rep resen t the total in all estab lish m en ts within the scope of the study and not the num ber actu ally su rveyed . B ecau se of d ifferen ces in occupational stru ctu re among estab lish m en ts, the estim a tes of occupational em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple of estab lish m en ts studied serv e only to indicate the relative im portance of the jobs studied. T h ese d ifferen ces in o ccu pational structure do not m ateria lly affect the accu racy of the ea rn ings data. E stab lish m en t P r a c tic es and Supplem entary Wage P ro v isio n s Inform ation is p resen ted a lso (in the B -s e r ie s tab les) on s e lected estab lish m en t p ra ctices and supplem entary b en efits as they r e late to office and plant w o rk ers. The term "office w o rk ers, " as used in this bulletin, includes working su p erv iso rs and n on su p ervisory w orkers perform ing c le r ic a l or related functions, and exclu d es adm in istr a tiv e , ex ecu tive, and p ro fession a l p erson n el. "Plant w orkers" in clude working forem en and all n on su p ervisory w orkers (including lea d m en and tra in ees) engaged in nonoffice functions. A d m in istrative, execu tive, and p ro fession a l em p lo y ees, and fo rce-acco u n t construction em p loyees who are u tilized as a sep arate work force are excluded. C afeteria w orkers and routem en are excluded in m anufacturing indus tries, but are included as plant w ork ers in nonm anufacturing industries. 2 T a b le 1.

Separate estim a tes are provided according to em ployer p ractice in com puting vacation paym ents, such as tim e paym ents, percent of annual earnings, or fla t-su m am ounts. H ow ever, in the tabulations of vacation allow an ces, paym ents not on a tim e b a sis w ere converted; for exam ple, a paym ent of 2 percen t of annual earnings w as con sid ered as the equivalent of 1 w e ek 's pay. Data are p resen ted for all h ealth , in su ran ce, and pension plans for which at le a st a part of the c o st is borne by the em p loyer, excepting only leg al requirem ents such as w orkm en 1 s com pensation and so cia l secu rity . Such plans include those underw ritten by a co m m ercia l insurance com pany and those provided through a union fund or paid d irectly by the em ployer out of cu rren t operating funds or from a fund se t asid e for this purpose. Death b en efits are included as a form of life insu ran ce. S ick n ess and accident insuran ce is lim ited to that type of in surance under which predeterm ined cash paym ents are m ade d irectly to the insured on a w eekly or m onthly b a sis during illn e s s or accident d isab ility. Inform ation is p resen ted for all such plans to which the em ployer contributes. H ow ever, in New York and New J e r se y , which have enacted tem porary d isab ility insuran ce law s which require e m ployer contributions , 4 plans are included only if the em p loyer ( 1 ) con tributes m ore than is leg a lly required, or (2 ) provides the em ployee with ben efits which ex ceed the requirem ents of the law . T abulations of paid sick -lea v e plans are lim ited to form al plans 5 which provide full pay or a proportion of the w ork er's pay during ab seh ce from work b ecau se of illn e s s . Separate tabulations are provided accord ing to (l) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2 ) plans providing eith er partial pay or a w aiting period. In addition to the presentation of the proportions of w ork ers who are provided sick n ess and accident insurance or paid sick lea v e, an undixplicated total is shown of w orkers who receiv e eith er or both types of b en efits. C atastrophe in su ran ce, so m etim es referred to as .exten d ed m ed ical insu ran ce, includes those plans which are design ed to protect em p loyees in ca se of sick n ess and injury involving ex p en ses beyond the norm al coverage of h osp italization , m ed ica l, and su rgical plans. M edical insurance refers to plans providing for com p lete or partial paym ent of d o cto rs 1 fe e s . Such plans m ay be underw ritten by co m m er cia l insurance com panies or nonprofit organizations or they m ay be self-in su r ed . Tabulations of retirem en t pension plans are lim ited to those plans that provide m onthly paym ents for the rem ainder of the w o rk er's life . An estab lish m en t was con sid ered as having a policy if it m et eith er of the follow ing conditions: (1) O perated late sh ifts at the tim e of the su rvey, or (2 ) had form al p rovision s coverin g late sh ifts. Scheduled w eekly hours for office w orkers (first sectio n of table B -3 ) in su rveys made prior to late 1957 and ea rly 1958 w ere p resen ted in term s of the proportion of wom en office w orkers e m ployed in o ffices with the indicated w eekly hours for w om en w o rk ers. 4 The tem porary d isab ility law s in C alifornia and Rhode Island do not require em ployer contributions. 5 An estab lish m en t was con sid ered as having a form al plan if it estab lish ed at le a st the m inim um num ber of days of sick leave that could be expected by each em p lo yee. Such a plan need not be w ritten , but inform al sick -lea v e allow an ces, determ ined on an individual b a s is , w ere excluded. Shift d ifferential data (table B - l) are lim ited to m anufacturing in d u stries. This inform ation is presented both in term s of (a) esta b lish m en t p olicy, 2 p resented in term s of total plant w orker em p loy m ent, and (b) effective p ra ctice, presented on the b a sis of w orkers actually em ployed on the sp ecified shift at the tim e of the su rvey. In estab lish m en ts having varied d ifferen tia ls, the amount applying to a m ajority was used o r, if no amount applied to a m ajority, the c la s sifica tio n ’’other" was u sed . In estab lish m en ts in which som e la te sh ift hours are paid at norm al ra te s, a d ifferential was record ed only if it applied to a m ajority of the shift hours. M inim um entrance rates (table B -2) relate only to the esta b lish m en ts v isited . They are p resented on an estab lish m en t, rather than on an em ploym ent b a sis. P aid holidays; paid vacations; and health, in suran ce, and pension plans are treated sta tistica lly on the b a sis that these are applicable to all plant or office w orkers if a m a jority of such w orkers are elig ib le or m ay eventually qualify for the p ra ctices liste d . Scheduled hours are treated sta tistica lly on the b a sis that th ese are applicable to all plant or office w orkers if a m ajority are co v ered . 3 B ecau se of rounding, sum s of individual item s in these tabulations m ay not equal to ta ls.

T his is e ssen tial in order to perm it the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. B ecause of this em phasis on interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau’s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job d escriptions, the B ureau's field econom ists are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped w orkers, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
