U L L U K A IIU N A L WAGE bURVEY - CLEVELAND, OHIO
Introduction

were employed in the area 18 diversified manufacturing industries,
many of which contribute directly to the requirements of the Nation­
wide armament program* Important among such products are: ordnance,
iron and steel, metal stampings, forgings, castings, machine tools
and accessories, cutting tools, industrial machinery, electrical
equipment, motor vechicles and parts, aircraft parts, and other
fabricated metal products*
Some 8 5 ,0 0 0 of these workers were em­
ployed in the machinery industries; about 5 0 ,0 0 0 in both the trans­
portation equipment industries and the primary metals industries;
and more than 3 6 ,0 0 0 in the fabricated metal products group of
industries*

The Cleveland area is one of several important industrial
centers in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics is currently con­
ducting occupational wage surveys®
In such surveys, occupations
common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries
are studied on a community-wide basis*
Cross-industry methods of
sampling are thus utilized in compiling earnings data for the fol­
lowing types of occupations: (a) office; (b) professional and tech­
nical; (c) maintenance and power plant; and (d) custodial, ware*housing, and shipping® In presenting earnings information for such
jobs {tables A - l through A- 4 ) separate data are provided wherever
possible for individual broad industry divisions® 1 /

Nonmanufacturing industries in the area employed approx­
imately 3 3 5 ,0 0 0 workers, including more than 1 2 0 ,0 0 0 in wholesale
and retail trade*
More than 48,000 workers were employed in the
transportation, communication, and other public utilities group of
industries and more than 2 0 ,0 0 0 were employed by finance, insurance,
and real estate establishments*

Earnings information for characteristic occupations in
certain more specifically defined industries is presented in series
B tables* Union scales (series C tables) are presented for selected
occupations in several industries or trades in which the great ma­
jority of workers are employed under terms of collective-bargaining
agreements, and the contract or minimum rates are believed to be
indicative of prevailing pay practices*

Among the industries and establishment-size groups sur­
veyed by the Bureau, more than 85 percent of the plant workers were
employed in establishments having written agreements with labor or­
ganizations*
Union coverage was most extensive in manufacturing
plants, applying to nine-tenths of the workers*
Proportions of
covered plant workers in other major industry divisions ranged from
more than four-fifths in the services group to somewhat more than
half in retail trade establishments* The proportion of office work­
ers employed under the terms of collective—bargining agreements was
substantially lover than that of plant workers* Only in the public
utilities group of industries, in which slightly more than half the
office workers were covered by contract provisions, was there any
appreciable degree of unionization among offices*

Data are collected and summarized on shift operations and
differentials, hours of work, and supplementary benefits such as
vacation allowances, paid holidays, and insurance and pension plans*

The Cleveland Metropolitan Area
Total population of the Cleveland Metropolitan Area (Cuya­
hoga and Lake Counties) was estimated at more than 1,465,000 try the
1950 census, with the population of Cleveland exceeding 90 0 ,000 *
Situated on the south shore of Lake Erie, this seventh largest city
of the United States is one of the leading ports on the Great Lakes*
It has strategic access to important raw materials, including iron
ore and coal, and is centrally located in terms of important mar­
kets*

Occupational W age Structure
Wage changes in the form of "across-the-board” increases
were general in Cleveland industries between October 1951 - the
date of the Bureau’s last comprehensive survey in the area 2/ - and
the present study* Based on an examination of data from the larger
manufacturing establishments (employing 200 or more workers) nearly

In late 1952 total nonagricultural industries gave employ­
ment to more than 6 6 5 ,0 0 0 workers, surpassing the employment peak of
World War 31 reached in June 1943* Approximately half these workers

2/ The construction and extractive industries and government
institutions were excluded from the study; see appendix for dis­
cussion of scope and method of survey*

Survey,

Cleveland, Ohio,

October

all plant workers were found to have received general wage in­
creases; about half these workers received one or more adjustments
based on changes in the cost of living* The average hourly increase
per worker was in excess of 9 cents; however, amounts of increases
varied widely among establishments©
It should be noted that general wage changes did not ac­
count for the full wage movement which took place in either the
manufacturing or the nonmanufacturing industries©
In addition,
changes based on merit, length of service,
and progression within
rate ranges affected the total wage change picture©
Wages of approximately three-fourths the plant workers in
the area were based on a time-rate system©
Virtually all these
workers were employed in establishments having a formalized wage
structure©
Plans providing a range of rates for individual plant
occupations were somewhat more prevalent than those that establish­
ed a single rate for a given occupation, when considered on an all­
industry basis©
Public utilities and finance were the only broad
industry divisions studied in which single-rate plans predominated
for plant workers©
Incentive methods of wage payment, applicable
to a fourth of all plant workers, were most significant in manufac­
turing, applying to approximately 30 percent of the total employ­
ment in this industry division©
Salaries of office workers in the area were determined
generally on the basis of formalized plans that provided rate ranges
for individual occupations©
There were, however, substantial num­
bers of workers in each major industry group whose earnings were
individually determined; earnings of more than half the office
workers in retail trade were so established©
Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing were higher
generally than those of workers employed in comparable occupations




in nonmanufacturing© Average salaries were higher in manufacturing
for 17 of 19 office jobs for which comparisons were available and
for 16 of 20 plant occupations permitting comparisons©
Nearly 30 percent of the manufacturing plant workers in
the area were employed on extra shifts at the time of the study©
Second-shift work accounted for a fifth of the total plant work
force in manufacturing and third or other shift work accounted for
a tenth of the total© Virtually all these extra-shift workers were
employed in establishments providing a premium above day rates©
The amount of these premiums varied considerably among the estab­
lishments studied©
However, cents-per-hour differentials of
6,
or 7 cents \& re most commonly reported for second-shift work,where­
as 7,9, or 10 cents-per-hour additions were most frequently report­
ed for third-shift work©
Four-fifths of the women office workers and more than twothirds of the plant workers studied in October 1932 were scheduled
to work 40 hours a week©
About a tenth of the office workers were
employed on work schedules of 37^ or less hours a week, whereas a
similar proportion of all plant workers were on weekly work sched­
ules of 43 hours©
Six paid holidays were granted annually to the vast ma­
jority of both office and plant workers© Holiday provisions tended
to be most liberal in the finance,
insurance, and real estate di­
vision with approximately a sixth of the workers receiving as many
as 10 holidays©
Nearly all workers received vacation benefits.
Office workers most generally received a 2-week vacation after a
year of service, whereas the greatest proportion of plant workers
received a week*s vacation after a similar period of service© Plans
providing insurance or pension benefits for which at least a part of
the cost is borne by the employer, affected the greater proportion
of both plant and office workers©

Appendix - Scope and Method of Survey

The Bureaus 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*
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.
With the exception of the union rate scales, information
presented in this bulletin was collected by visits of the Bureau1s
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 ares manufacturing;
transportation (except railroads), communication, and other public
utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and
real estate; and services. Inf ormation 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 cover­
ed 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




such jobs were included only for films
ments of the broad industry divisions.

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 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. Bata are shown for only full-time workers, i.e., those
hired to work the establishments full-time schedule for the given
occupational classification.
The term noffice 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 indus­
tries, these work categories are included as plant workers in non­
manufacturing 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 met 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

22

in terns 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.
