justm ents based on changes in th e c o st o f liv in g . An exam ination
of d ata from th e la rg e r estab lish m en ts in th e a rea (those employing
200 or more w orkers) shows th a t more than f o u r - f if th s o f th e p la n t
workers in th ese firm s had receiv ed one o r more form al wage in

were thu s ad ju sted ranged from about 50 p ercen t in r e t a i l tra d e and
finance and insurance to over 90 p ercen t in th e m anufacturing and

Occupational Wage Survey, Chicago, 1 1 1 ., March 1953
U .S . DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau o f Labor S t a t i s t i c s
26
Appendix - Scope and Method of Survey
The Bureau’s occupational wage surveys are designed to
provide a maximum of useful and reliable information with availa
ble resources. In order to use resources efficiently and to pub
lish results promptly, the surveys did not cover all establishments
in the community. Although those studied are selected to provide
representative results, no sample can reflect perfectly all differ
ences in occupational structure, earnings, and working conditions
among establishments.
such jobs were included only for firms
ments of the broad industry divisions.
Because of the great variation in occupational structure
among establishments, estimates of occupational employment are sub
ject to considerable sampling fluctuation. Hence, they serve only
to indicate the relative numerical importance of the jobs studied.
The fluctuations in employment do not materially affect the accuracy
of the earnings data.
The earnings information excludes premium pay for overtime
and night work. Nonproduction bonuses are also excluded, but costof-living bonuses and incentive earnings, including commissions for
salespersons, are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as
for office clerical occupations, reference is to work schedules
(rounded to the nearest half-hour) for which the straight-time sala
ries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have
been rounded to the nearest 50 cents. The number of workers pre
sented refers to the estimated total employment in all establish
ments 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*
With the exception of the union rate scales, information
presented in this bulletin was collected by visits of the Bureau’s
field representatives to establishments included in the study.
Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job de
scriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation
in duties within the same job; these job descriptions 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 industry groupings surveyed are: Manufacturing;
transportation (except railroads), communication, and other public
utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and
real estate; and services. Information on work schedules and supple
mentary benefits also was obtained in a representative group of es
tablishments in each of these industry divisions. As indicated in
the following table, only establishments above a certain size were
studied. Smaller establishments were omitted because they fur
nished 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 cov
ered were determined separately for each industry (see following
table). Although size limits frequently varied from those estab
lished for surveying cross-industry office and plant jobs, data for
meeting the size require
A greater proportion of large than of small establishments
was studied in order to maximize the number of workers surveyed with
available resources. Each group of establishments of a certain
size, however, was given its proper weight in the combination of
data by industry and occupations.
The term "office workers" referred to in this bulletin
includes all office clerical employees and excludes administrative,
executive, professional, and technical personnel. "Plant workers"
includes working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including
leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Administra
tive, executive, professional and technical employees, and forceaccount construction employees who are utilized as a separate work
force, are excluded. Although cafeteria workers, routemen, and in
stallation and repair employees are excluded in manufacturing in
dustries, these work categories are included as plant workers in
nonmanufacturing industries*
Shift-differential data are limited to manufacturing in
dustries and have been presented both in terms of establishment
policy and according to provisions for workers actually employed
on extra shifts at the time of the survey. Establishments were
considered as having a shift-differential policy if they mefy any of
the following conditions: Operated late shifts at the time of the
survey; operated late shifts within 6 months before the field visit;
or had a union-contract provision for payment of extra-shift work.
Proportions in the tabulation of establishment policy are presented
27
in terms of total plant employment, whereas proportions in the sec
ond tabulation represent only those workers actually employed on
the specified late shift.
office workers of the table summarizing scheduled weekly hours.
Because of eligibility requirements, the proportion actually re
ceiving the specific benefits may be smaller.
Information on wage practices other than shift differ
entials 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
The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal ar
rangements. It excludes informal plans whereby time off with pay
is granted at the discretion of the employer or other supervisor.
Tabulations of insurance and pension plans have been confined to
those for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer.
