Introduction y
The Chicago area is 1 of 40 major labor markets in
which the Bureau of labor Statistics is currently conducting
occupational wage surveys.
Occupations common to a variety* of
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries were studied on
a c ommunity-wide basis.
Cross-industry methods of sampling
were thus utilized in compiling earnings data for the following
types of occupations: (a) office; (b) professional and techni­
cal; (c) maintenance and power plant;
(d) custodial, ware­
housing, and shipping.
In presenting earnings information for
such jobs (tables A-l through A -4) separate data have been pro­
vided wherever possible for individual broad industry divisions.
Occupations characteristic of particular,
important,
local industries were studied on an industry basis, within the
framework of the community survey. 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 were collected and summarized on shift operations
and differentials, hours of work, and supplementary benefits such
as vacation and sick leave allowances, paid holidays, nonproduc­
tion bonuses and insurance and pension plans.

The Chicago Area
Nonagricultural wage and salary employment in the
Chicago area (Cook County) totaled approximately 2,150,000 work­
ers in March 1952.
Of this total, an estimated 810,000 were
employed in manufacturing establishments. Although manufacturing
activity in the area is considered highly diversified, the ma­
chinery industries
(electrical and nonelectrical combined) em­
ployed more than a fourth of all manufacturing workers in the
area. Other durable-goods industry groups of substantial impor­
tance included fabricated metal products, primary metal prod­
ucts, and transportation equipment.
In the nondurable -goods
segment of manufacturing, food processing plants accounted for
more than a tenth of the workers. Additional major segments of
the nondurable-goods industries included printing and publishing, apparel, and chemicals.

1/ Prepared in the Bureau*s regional office in Chicago, 111.,
by Woodrow C. Linn under the direction of George E. Votava, Re­
gional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst. The planning and
central direction of the program was carried on in the Bureau*s
Division of Wages and Industrial Relations.
2/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey.
2 / See appendix table for listing of durable- and nondurablegoods.




An estimated 1,340,000 wage and salary workers were
on the payrolls of Chicago area nonmanufacturing establishments
in March. About 330,000 workers were employed in retail trade
activities, and an additional 165,000 were employed in wholesale
trade outlets.
An employment of nearly 200,000 workers in the
transportation industries attests to Chicago*s importance as the
nation*s leading railroad center.
The services industries em­
ployed more than 195,000 persons in such diverse fields as auto­
mobile and other repair shops, laundries and cleaning establish­
ments, hotels, theaters, radio and television stations, and
business service establishments.
Federal, State, and local
government agencies reported employment of 184,000 workers in
the area, and approximately 126,000 persons were employed in
finance, insurance, and real estate establishments. Building
construction, off to an early seasonal start, provided jobs for
89,000 workers.
Employment in communication and public utili­
ties totaled oyer 50,000 at the time of the survey.
Among the industries and establishment-size groups
surveyed by the Bureau more than 70 percent of the workers in
nonoffice jobs were employed in establishments having written
agreements with labor organizations • Three of four factory work­
ers in manufacturing establishments were employed in union
plants.
In nonmanufacturing industries the proportion of non­
office workers covered by union agreements ranged from more than
half in retail and wholesale trade to nearly complete coverage
in the transportation
(except railroads), communication, and
public utilities group.
Union contracts covered about 85 per­
cent of the nonoffice workers in services and finance, insurance,
and real estate.
Unionization was far less extensive among
office workers.
About a tenth of all office workers in the
Chicago area were working under the provisions of collective
bargaining agreements. The highest proportion of office workers
covered by union agreement provisions was reported in trans­
portation (except railroads),
communication, and other public
utilities; more than two-thirds the office workers in the in­
dustry group were employed under the terms of union contracts.

Occupational Wage Structure
Extensive formal wage adjustments were made ty Chicago
area establishments between January 1950, the base period for
the Wage Stabilization Board*s "catch-up” wage formula, and the
time of the Bureau*s survey.
Virtually all plant workers in
manufacturing establishments had received one or more general
wage increase during the period. These increases totaled 15 to
30 cents an hour for about three-fourths the plant workers
studied, with more than a fourth receiving between 25 and 30
cents • More than 40 percent of the nonoffice workers in trans­
portation
(except railroads), communication, and other public
utilities received similar increases; whereas, workers in whole­
sale and retail trade and services establishments received
smaller general pay increases.
Formal revisions in office workers* salaries were re­
ported in fewer establishments.
Office workers in the larger
manufacturing establishments frequently were granted increases

comparable to those given plant workers*
In other establish­
ments, however, pay raises for office workers were granted on
an individual basis in place of general increases*
Wage rates for nearly all Chicago area plant (nonoffice) workers were determined on the basis of formal rate
structures*
Wage progression plans setting forth a range of
rates for each time-rated job classification were somewhat more
common than plans specifying a single cr flat rate for each job*
Among the industry groups studied, single-rate plans were typi­
cal of nondurable-goods manufacturing, wholesale trade, serv­
ices, and finance* Piece-rate or bonus incentive payment plans
covered plant jobs in which nearly 40 percent of the factory
workers in manufacturing plants were classified* They were
either nonexistent or relatively insignificant among the nonmanufacturing industries with the exception of services estab­
lishments in which 10 percent of the nonoffice workers were paid
incentive rates*

Salaries of office workers in manufacturing industries
were generally higher than those in nonmanufacturing*
In 27 of
the 35 office classifications permitting comparison, average
weekly salaries in manufacturing establishments exceeded those
in nonmanufacturing*
Within the nonmanufacturing group, how­
ever, office workers in wholesale trade and transportation (ex­
cluding railroads), communication, and other public utilities
were paid higher average salaries in most jobs than workers in
manufacturing industries*
Wage rates for selected custodial,
tarehousing, and shipping occupations averaged higher in manu­
facturing industries for 10 of 17 jobs where comparisons were
possible*
In contrast, average wage rates for maintenance and
power plant jobs were higher in nonmanufacturing industries for
10 of 14 job categories permitting comparison*

Virtually all formal wage plans reported for office
occupations provided a range of salaries for each job* Very few
office workers were paid salaries based on single-rate plans,
and over a third worked in establishments that determined sala­
ries on an individual basis*

About a fourth of the plant workers in Chicago area
manufacturing industries were employed on late shifts in March
1952* Three-fourths of these workers were on second-shift
operations* The prevalence of extra-shift work among nondurable
goods manufacturing workers was nearly as great as that in the
durable-goods group. Almost all second- and third-shift workers
were paid shift differentials, divided almost equally between a
uniform cents-per-hour addition to day rates and a uniform per­
centage over day shift rates*

Established minimum entrance rates for hiring inex­
perienced plant workers were part of the formalized wage struc­
ture in a vast majority of the firms studied* Although entrance
rates ranged from less than 75 cents to more than $1*65 an hour,
$1 or more was the minimum rate in establishments giving em­
ployment to three-fifths of all plant workers* In manufacturing
industries 3 of 4 workers were employed in establishments with
entrance rates of $1 or more. A 75-cent minimum was the lowest
rate reported in manufacturing; wholesale trade; and transpor­
tation, communication, and other public utilities* Minimum en­
trance rates of less than 75 cents were found in other non­
manufacturing groups studied*

Regularly scheduled 40-hour workweeks predominated
among nonoffice workers in Msurch 1952*
Three of four plant
workers in manufacturing industries were scheduled to work 40
hours; most of the others were on longer schedules. Among the
nonmanufacturing groups, the proportion on this weekly schedule
was about the same in public utilities and wholesale trade.
In
retail trade and services establishments, a much larger propor­
tion were scheduled to work more than 40 hours. Forty-hour
weekly schedules existed for two-thirds the women office work­
ers in torch, with nearly all of the others working shorter
schedules. In finance, insurance,and real estate offices almost
two-thirds were scheduled to work less than 40 hours*

Occupational Wage Survey, Chicago, 111,, March 1952
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau of Labor Statistics

Appendix - Scope

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, (o) maintenance and
power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables
A-l through A-A). The covered industry groupings ares 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 o 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 their 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 maximize the number of workers
surveyed with available resources. Bach 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 for over­
time and night work. Nonproduotion 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, they 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 establishment's 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.
