Introduction
y
The Bridgeport area is one of several important indus
trial centers in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted
occupational wage surveys during the summer of 1951. 2/ Occu
pations that are common to a variety of manufacturing and non
manufacturing industries were studied on a community-wide basis.
Cross-industry methods of sampling were thus utilized in com
piling earnings data for the following types of occupations:
(a) office; (b) professional and technical; (c) maintenance and
power plant; (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping. In pre
senting earnings information for such jobs (tables A-l through
A-4) separate data have been provided wherever possible for in
dividual broad industry divisions.
Occupations that are characteristic of particular,
important, local industries have been studied as heretofore on
an industry basis, within the framework of the community sur
vey. 2/
Earnings data for these jobs have been presented in
Series B tables. Union scales (Series C tables) are presented
in lieu of (or supplementing) occupational earnings for several
industries or trades in which the great majority of the workers
are employed under terms of collective bargaining agreements,
and the contract or minimum rates are indicative of prevailing
pay practices.
Data have also been collected and summarized on shift
operations and differentials, hours of work, and supplementary
benefits such as vacation and sick-leave allowances, paid holi
days, nonproduction bonuses, and insurance and pension plans.
1/ Prepared in the Bureau’s regional office in Boston, Mass.
Bernard J. Fahres, Regional Wage Analyst. The planning and
central direction of the program was carried on in the Branch
of Community Wage Studies of the Bureau’s Division of Wages and
Industrial Relations.
2/ Other areas studied are: Baltimore, Dallas, Dayton and
Portland (Oreg.). Similar studies were conducted earlier in
the year in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, New York, and the
San Francisco-Oakland area.
2/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey.
The B rid g ep o rt M etrop olitan
A rea
The Bridgeport Metropolitan Area, consisting of the
citycf Bridgeport and towns «f Fairfield, Milford, Stratford and
Trumbull had a total of over 250,000 persons in 1951. Of these,
60 percent were in the city of Bridgeport.
Nonagricultural wage and salary workers in the more
than 2,000 establishments in the area totaled 114,000 in June
1951. Approximately 600 manufacturing plants provided employ
ment for 67,000 of these workers, and of this figure two-thirds
were employed in the machinery and electrical equipment indus
tries. Although Industrial employment in the area was concen
trated in durable goods, (J nondurable goods industries also
accounted for a substantial number - with some 5*000 workers
employed in the apparel industries alone.
A considerable number of workers earned their liveli
hood in nonmanufacturing concerns. Over 17,000 were employed
in the trade industries and 10,000 others were engaged in the
service industries. During 1950, building permits were issued
for 1,300 new dwelling units within the city of Bridgeport and
employment in the construction trades approached the 6,000 level.
Government employment in the area also showed some increase with
approximately 7,500 employed by local, State and Federal agencies.
Slightly over half of all nonoffice employees covered
by the survey were employed in establishments having written
agreements with labor unions. Approximately three out of every
five employees in manufacturing industries were working under
terms of union contracts. The highest proportion of those em
ployed under the terms of collective bargaining agreements were
in the transportation, communication, and public utilities group
where over 80 percent were covered. The degree of unionization
was noticeably lower for office employees than for plant workers.
About a fourth of all office employees covered in the survey
were employed under the provisions of union agreements. However,
unionization in offices was confined almost exclusively to manu
facturing industries where over a third of the workers were
jj See appendix table for listing of durable and nondurable
goods industries.

Occupational Wage Survey, Bridgeport, Conn., June 1951
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau of Labor Statistics
20.
Appendix
Scope ar
With the exception of the union scale of rates,
in
formation presented in this bulletin was collected by visits of
field representatives of the Bureau to representative establish
ments in the area surveyed.
In classifying workers by occupa
tion, uniform job descriptions were used; these are available
upon request.
Six broad industry divisions were covered in compiling
earnings data for the following types of occupations: (a) office
clerical,
(b) professional and technical,
(c) maintenance and
power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables
A-l through A -4 ). The covered industry groupings are: manufac
turing; transportation (except railroads), communication, and
other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance,
insurance, and real estate; and services.
Information on work
schedules and supplementary benefits also was obtained in a rep
resentative group of establishments in each of these industry
divisions. As indicated in the following table only establish
ments above a certain size were studied. Smaller establishments
were omitted because they furnished insufficient employment in
the occupations studied to warrant inclusion.
Among the industries in which characteristic jobs were
studied, minimum size of establishment and extent of the area
covered were determined separately for each industry (see fol
lowing table).
Although size limits frequently varied from
those established for surveying cross-industry office and plant
jobs, data for these jobs were included only for firms meeting
the size requirements of the broad industry divisions.
A greater proportion of large than of small establish
ments was studied in order to maximise the number of workers
surveyed with available resources. Each group of establishments
Method of Survey
of a certain size, however, was given its proper weight in the
combination of data by industry and occupation.
The earnings information excludes premium pay fcr over
time and night work.
Nonproduction bonuses are also excluded,
but cost-of-living bonuses and incentive earnings,
including
commissions for salespersons, are included. Where weekly hours
are reported as for office clerical, thev refer to the work sched
ules (rounded to the nearest half-hour) for which the straighttime salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occu
pations have been rounded to the nearest 50 cents.
The number
of workers presented refers to the estimated total employment in
all establishments within the scope of the study and not to the
number actually surveyed.
Data are shown for only full-time
workers, i.e., those hired to work the establishments full-time
schedule for the given occupational classification.
Information on wage practices refers to all office
and plant workers as specified in the individual tables.
It is
presented in terms of the proportion of all workers employed in
offices
(or plant departments) that observe the practice in
question, except in the section relating to women office workers
of the table summarizing scheduled weekly hours. Because of eli
gibility requirements, the proportion actually receiving the
specific benefits may be smaller. The summary of vacation and
sick leave plans is limited to formal arrangements. It excludes
informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the dis
cretion of the employer or other supervisor.
Sick leave plans
are further limited to those providing full pay for at least
some amount of time off without any provision for a waiting
period preceding the payment of benefits.
These plans also ex
clude health insurance even though it is paid for by employers.
Health insurance is included, however, under tabulation for in
surance and pension plans.
