Introduction

y

The Dallas area is one of several important industrial
centers in which the Bu r e a u of labor Statistics conducted occu­
pational wage surveys during the summer of 1951 • 2/ Occupations
that are common to a v ariety of manufacturing and nonmanufac­
turing industries were studied on a community-wide basis* Grossindustry methods
of sampling were
thus utilized in compiling
earnings data for the following types of o c c u p a t i o n s : (a) of f i c e ;
(b) professional and technical; (c) maintenance and power plant;
(d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping*
In presenting ear n ­
ings
information for such jobs (tables A - l through A -4) sepa­
rate data have been provided wherever possible for individual
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 survey* 2 J
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 terras of collective bargaining agreements,
and the contract or minimum rates
axe 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 h o l i ­
days, nonproduction bonuses, and insurance and pension plans.

1/ Prepared in the Bureau *3 regional office in Atlanta,Ga*,
b y Harry H* Hall, Regional Wage Analyst*
The planning and cen­
tral direction of the program was carried on in the Branch of
C ommunity
Wage Studies
of the B u r e a u 1s Division of Wages
and
Industrial Relations.
2/
Other areas studied are: Baltimore, Bridgeport, Dayton,
and Portland, Qreg.
Similar
studies were conducted earlier in
the year
in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, New York and the
San Francisco-Chkland area.
2 / See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey.




The

Dallas

M etropolitan A re a

The Dallas Ifetropolitan Area (Dallas County) had more
than 610,000 inhabitants in 1950. Two-thirds of these were co n ­
centrated in the city of Dallas.

Nine
United States
highways lead
into Dallas,
the
greatest number entering an y Southwestern
city.
It is also
serviced b y nine
major railroads.
Love Field, D a l l a s 1 m u n i c i ­
pally owned airport, has led the Nation since 1940 in number of
air-line
passengers per capita.
The city is one of the Bell
Telephone system*s 8 regional toll centers, h andling 1,620 toll
circuits and providing direct connections w ith 209 cities. D a l ­
las is the Nation*s leading export cotton market and one of the
largest spot markets.

Nonagricultural employment (excluding
government) in
the Dallas
metropolitan a rea totaled over 275,000 d uring July
1951*
It is estimated that the approximately 400 m a nufactur­
ing plants within scope of the Bureau*s survey provided empl o y ­
ment for about 55,000 persons, i j
The dominant manufacturing
industries in this area are machinery, fabricated m e t a l pro d u c t s ,
furniture and fixtures, and apparel and related products.

A s one
of the leading distribution
centers of the
Southwest,
wholesale and retail trade operations in the Dallas
area are extensive.
About 15,000 persons were employed in the
more
than 240 wholesale trade establishments and n early 27,000
wage and salary employees were distributed over the payrolls of

i j Estimates of the number of establishments and employment
in particular
industries (other than construction) relate
to
firms employing 21 or more workers, the m i n imum size e s t ablish­
ment covered in the study.
See a p pendix for
general scope
of
survey.

2

a p p r oximately 275 retail-trade establishments* More than 13,000
were employed in the finance, insurance, and real estate indus­
tries, whereas
a labor force of almost 2 2 ,0 0 0 was
required b y
the
transportation (excluding railroads), communication,
and
other public utilities group of industries*
During the past 5
years, over 47,000 building units were started in the metr o p o l ­
itan area*
Approximately 26,000 persons were
employed in the
construction trades during 1950* Over 5,000 building units were
started d uring the first 6 months of 1951*
Total
government
employment in the area
was estimated at 22,000 in June 1951*

Among
the industries
and establishment size
groups
surveyed b y the Bu r e a u in June 1951,
about 45
percent of the
workers in nonoffice jobs were employed in establishments having
wri t t e n agreements with
labor organizations.
A b out 6 in every
1 0 workers in m anufacturing plants were employed in union e s tab­
lishments*
In nonmanufacturing, about 3 in every 10 employees
were
r e p r esented b y labor organizations*
Less than a sixth of
all office workers were working under the terms of coliectiveb a rgaining agreements*

Occupational W a g e

Establishe d m i n i m u m entrance rates for the employment
of inexperienced plant workers was part of the form a l i z e d rate
structure in Dallas area firms emplo y i n g n e a r l y all plant w o r k ­
ers* Approximately ha l f of the plant workers were in e s t a b l i s h ­
ments with min i m u m entrance rates of b e t w e e n 7 5 and 90 cents an
hour*
A fourth were in plants w ith a n established m i n i m u m of
$ 1 or more*
Minimum entrance rates
of less than 75 cents
an
hour
were not reported in manufacturing*
In the r e t a i l trade
and services groups, however, n e a r l y three-fourths of the w o r k ­
ers were employed in establishments h a v i n g h o u r l y m i n i m u m rates
under 75 cents.

Wages and salaries of workers in man u f a c t u r i n g i n d u s ­
tries were generally higher than in nonmanufacturing*
In 20 of
2 4 office
classifications p e rmitting comparison, salaries
of
workers in manufacturing
plants were h igher than those in n o n ­
manufacturing establ i s h m e n t s • A v erage h o u r l y earnings for plant
jobs
studied in all
industries were hig h e r
for 2 2 of 2 4
job
categories for which comparisons were possible*

Structure

The 17-month period preceding the survey was one of
moderate wage
adjustments in Dallas establishments*
Approxi­
m a t e l y a fourth of the establishments surveyed had, granted gen­
eral wage
increases since January 1, 1950*
Increases
in some
instances were
granted on an individual basis in addition to,
or in place of, general increases*

Formalized rate structures providing a range of rates
for time-rated
occupations were reported in establishments e m ­
ploying three-fifths
of al l office
and plant workers*
Nearly




all the remaining workers
were employed in establishments that
determined wages and salaries on an individual basis*

A tenth of the workers in the Dallas area m a n u f a c t u r ­
ing plants, excluding the m a c h i n e r y industry, were emplo y e d on
second shifts and approximately 1 in 20 w o r k e d on third or other
late shifts. In the durable and nondurable goods industries, 2 /
shift differential payments were u s u a l l y expressed in cents per
hour* The amount of shift d i f ferential paid to the largest n u m ­
ber of workers was
cents per hour on the second shift and 10
cents
on the third shift.
In the m a c h i n e r y
industry, a sixth
of the workers were employed on the second shift an d the m a j o r ­
ity received a differential of 5 cents a n hour*

5 / See appendix table for listing of durable an d nondurable
goods industries*

Occupational Wage Survey, Dallas, Tex., June 1951
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau of Labor Statistics

Appendix

Scope

W i t h the
exception of the union scale of rates, in­
formation presented in this bulletin was collected b y visits of
field representatives of the Bu r e a u to representative establish­
ments in the a rea surveyed*
In classifying workers b y occupa­
tion, u n i f o r m
job descriptions were used; these are
available
up o n request.
S i x broad industry divisions were covered in compiling
earnings data for the following types of o c cupations: (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 ares m a n ufac­
turing; transportation (except railroads), communication,
and
other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance,
insurance, and r e a l estate; and services.
Information on work
schedules a n d supplementary benefits also was obtained in a r e p ­
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 the y furnished insufficient employment in
the occupations studied to warrant their inclusion in the study.
A m o n g the industries in w h ich characteristic jobs were
studied, m i n i m u m size
of establishment and extent of the
area
covered were determined separately for each industry (see f ol­
lowing table).
A l t hough size limits
frequently varied from
those e stablished for surveying cross-industry office and plant
jobs, d ata 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 w i t h available resources. Eac h group of establishments




Method of Survey

of a certain size, however, was given its
proper w eight in the
combination of data b y industry and occupation.
The earnings information excludes p r e m i u m pay for over­
time and night work.
Nonproduction bonuses are a l s o excluded,
but cost-of-living bonuses
and incentive earnings,
including
commissions for salespersons, are included.
Where w e e k l y hours
are reported as fpr office clerical, t h e y refer to the w o r k sched­
ules (rounded to the nearest half-hour) for wh i c h the straighttime salaries are paid; average w e e k l y earnings for these occu­
pations have bee n ro u nded to the nearest 50 cents.
The n umber
of workers presented refers to the estimated total employment in
all establishments within the scope of the study an d no t to the
number
actually surveyed.
Data are shown for
only full-time
workers, i.e., those hired to work the e s t a b l i s h m e n t s full-time
schedule for the given occupational classification.
Information on wage practices
refers to al l
office
and plant workers as specified in the individual tables.
It is
presented in terms of the proportion of al l workers employed in
offices
(or plant departments) that
observe the practice
in
question, except in the section relat i n g to w o m e n office workers
of the table summarizing scheduled w e e k l y hours. Because of e l i ­
gibility requirements, the
proportion a ctually re c e i v i n g the
specific benefits m a y be smaller.
The
summary of vac a t i o n and
sick leave plans is limited to formal arrangements. It excludes
informal plans w h e re b y time off w i t h pa y is granted at the d i s ­
cretion of the employer or other supervisor.
Si c k
leave plans
are further
limited to those providing
full pa y for at
least
some amount of time
off without a n y p rovision for a w a i ting
period preceding the payment of benefits.
These plans a l s o e x ­
clude health insurance even though it is paid for b y employers.
Health insurance is included, however, u n der t a bulation for in­
surance and pension plans.
