The studies, made from late fall to early spring, relate to occupational earnings and related supplementary benefits. A preliminary report is available on completion of the study in each area, usually in the month following the payroll period studied. This bulletin provides additional data not included in the earlier report. A consolidated analytical bulletin summarizing the results of all of the y ear’s surveys is issued after completion of the final area bulletin for the current round of surveys.

The 1954 report (BLS Bull. 115 7-3 ) presents, in addition, data on rate of pay for holiday work; and both the 1954 and 1958 reports, data on wage structure characteristics, labor-management agreements, and overtime pay provisions. The 1955 report also included data on frequency of wage payments, and pay provisions for holidays falling on nonworkdays. A directory indicating date of study and the price of the reports, as well as reports for other major areas, is available upon request. Current reports on occupational earnings and supplementary wage practices in the Chicago area are also available for auto dealer repair shops (July 1958), and men’ s and boys* suits and coats (March 1958). A report on occupational earnings is also available for the machinery industries (March 1959). Data for supplementary wage practices were included in the machinery industries report of April 1958. Union scales, indicative of prevailing pay levels, are available for the following trades or industries: Building construction, printing, local-transit operating employees, and motortruck drivers and helpers. in __ 2 i—sO vO (Ji 1. 2.
