The studies, made fro m late fa ll to ea rly spring, relate to occupational earnings and re la te d supplementary benefits. A p relim in a ry report is available on completion of the study in each area, usually in the month follow ing the payroll period studied. This bulletin provides additional data not included in the e a rlie r report. A consolidated analytical bulletin sum m arizing the results of a ll of the year*s surveys is issued after completion of the fin al area bulletin fo r the current round of surveys. 1 3 Tables: 1: Establishments and w orkers within scope of survey _____ 2: Indexes of standard w eekly salaries and straighttime hourly earnings fo r selected occupational groups, and percent of in crease fo r selected periods ___________________________________________________ A: Occupational earnings * A - l : O ffice occupations ____________________________ A - 2: P rofessio n a l and technical occupations ____________ A - 3: Maintenance and powerplant occupations ___________ A -4: Custodial and m aterial movement occupations ____ B: Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions * B - l: Shift differen tial provisions ________________________ B-2: Minimum entrance rates fo r women office w orkers _____________________________________ B -3: Scheduled w eekly hours ______________________________ B-4: Paid holidays ________________________________________ B-5: Paid vacations _______________________________________ B -6: Health, insurance, and pension plans ______________ Appendix: Job descriptions ______________________________________ 2 3 5 8 9 10 12 13 14 14 15 16 17 * NOTE: S im ilar tabulations fo r most of these items are available in the Dallas area reports fo r June 1951, August 1952, September 1953, September 1954, and October 1955. The 1953 report also provides tabulations of wage structure ch a ra cteristics, labormanagement agreem ents, and overtim e pay provisions. The 1954 report also includes data on frequency of wage payments, and pay provisions fo r holidays fallin g on nonworkdays. A d irecto ry indi cating date of study and the p rice of the reports, as w ell as reports for other m ajor areas, is available upon request. Union scales, indicative of prevailing pay levels in the Dallas area, are available fo r the follow ing trades or industries: Building construction, printing, loca l-tra n sit operating employees, and m o tor truck d r iv e r s . iii Occupational Wage Survey - Dallas, Te x .* Introduction to the work schedules (rounded to the nearest half hour) fo r which straight-tim e salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar. The Dallas area is one of several important industrial centers in which the Department of L a b o rrs Bureau of Labor Statistics has conducted surveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areawide basis. In each area, data are obtained by personal visits of Bureau field agents to representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation (excluding railroads), communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. M ajor industry groups excluded from these studies, besides railroads, are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having few er than a prescribed number of workers are omitted also because they furnish insufficient employment in the occu pations studied to warrant inclusion. 1 W herever possible, separate tabulations are provided fo r each of the broad industry divisions. Occupational employment estimates represent the total in ail establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actu a lly surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure among establishments, the estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occu pational structure do not m aterially affect the accuracy of the earnings data. Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying ail establishments. To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of small establishments is studied. In combining the data, how ever, a ll establishments are given their appropriate weight. Estimates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as r e lating to a il establishments in the industry grouping and area, except fo r those below the minimum size studied. Information is presented also (in the B -series tables) on s e lected establishment practices and supplementary benefits as they relate to office and plant w orkers. The term "o ffice w o r k e r s ," as used in this bulletin, includes all office clerica l employees and ex cludes adm inistrative, executive, professional, and technical personnel. "Plant w ork ers" include working forem en and all nonsupervisory w ork ers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Adm inistrative, executive, professional, and technical em ployees, and force-account construction employees who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded. C afeteria workers and routemen are ex cluded in manufacturing industries, but are included as plant workers in nonmanufacturing industries. Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational clas sification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestabiishment variation in duties within the same job (see appendix for listing of these descriptions). Earnings data are presented (in the A -s e rie s tables) for the following types of occupa tions: (a) Office clerica l; (b) professional and technical; (c) mainte nance and powerplant; and (d) custodial and m aterial movement. Shift differential data (table B - l) are lim ited to manufacturing industries. This information is presented both in term s of (a) estab lishment policy, 2 presented in terms of total plant worker em ploy ment, and (b) effective practice, presented on the basis of workers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a m ajority was used or, if no amount applied to a m ajority, the cla s sification "oth er" was used. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w orkers, i. e. , those hired to work a regular weekly sched ule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded also, but cost-ofliving bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as fo r office c lerica l occupations, reference is Minimum entrance rates (table B-2) relate only to the estab lishments visited. They are presented on an establishment, rather than on an employment basis. Scheduled hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated statis tica lly on the basis that these are applicable to a ll plant or office * This report was prepared in the Bureau*s regional office in Atlanta, Ga. , by Bernard J. Fahres, under the direction of Louis B. Woytych, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst. 1 See table 1 fo r m inim um -size establishment covered. 2 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the following conditions: ( l ) Operated late shifts at the time of the survey, or (2) had form al provisions covering late shifts. ( 1) 2 workers if a m ajority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify fo r the practices listed. 3 Because of rounding, sums of indi vidual items in these tabulations do not n ecessarily equal totals. The summary of vacation plans is lim ited to form al arran ge ments, excluding inform al plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the em ployer. Separate estimates are provided according to em ployer practice in computing vacation payments, such as time payments, percent of annual earnings, or flat-sum amounts. However, in the tabulations of vacation allowances, payments not on a time basis w ere converted; fo r example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of 1 week*s pay. Data are presented for a ll health, insurance, and pension plans fo r which at least a part of the cost is borne by the em ployer, excepting only legal requirements such as workm en^ compensation and social security. Such plans include those underwritten by a com m er cial insurance company and those provided through a union fund or paid d irectly by the em ployer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose. Death benefits are included as a form of life insurance. Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of in surance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly or monthly basis during illness or accident disability. Information is presented fo r a il such plans to which the em ployer ,contributes. H owever, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted tem porary disability insurance laws which require em ployer contributions, 4 plans are included only if the em ployer ( l ) con tributes m ore than is leg a lly required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of paid sick-leave plans are lim ited to form al plans5 which provide full pay or a proportion of the w o rk er’ s pay during absence from work because of illness. Separate tabulations are provided according to ( l ) plans which provide fu ll pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans providing either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presentation of the proportions of workers who are provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of workers who receive either or both types of benefits. Catastrophe insurance, sometimes re ferred to as extended medical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect employees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. Medical insurance re fers to plans providing fo r complete or partial payment of doctors* fees. Such plans may be underwritten by com m er cial insurance companies or nonprofit organizations or they may be self-insured. Tabulations of retirem ent pension plans are lim ited to those plans that provide monthly payments for the remainder of the w ork er’s life. 4 The tem porary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require em ployer contributions. 5 An establishment was considered as having a form al plan if 3 Scheduled w eekly hours fo r office workers (firs t section itofestablished at least the minimum number of days of sick leave that could be expected by each employee. Such a plan need not be written, table B-3) are presented in term s of the proportion of women office but inform al sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, w orkers employed in offices with the indicated weekly hours for women w ere excluded. w orkers.

For office c le ric a l workers and industrial nurses, the indexes relate to average weekly salaries for normal hours of work, that is, the standard work schedule for which straight-tim e salaries are paid. For plant worker groups, they measure changes in straight-tim e hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for overtim e and for work on week ends, holidays, and late shifts. The indexes are based on data for selected key occupations and include most of the num erically important jobs within each group. The office c le ric a l data are based on women in the following 18 jobs: B ille rs , machine (billing machine); bookkeepingmachine operators, class A and B;Com ptom eter operators; clerks, file, class A and B; clerks, order; clerks, payroll; key-punch operators; office girls; secreta ries; stenographers, general; switchboard opera tors; switchboard operator-receptionists; tabulating-machine operators; transcribing-machine operators, general; and typists, class A and B. The industrial nurse data are based on women industrial nurses. Men in the following 10 skilled maintenance jobs and 3 unskilled jobs were included in the plant w orker data: Skilled— carpenters; electricians; machinists; mechanics; mechanics, automotive; m illw rights; painters; pipefitters; sheet-metal w orkers; and tool and die makers; unskilled— janitors, porters, and cleaners; laborers, m aterial handling; and watchmen. A verage weekly salaries or average computed fo r each of the selected occupations. or hourly earnings w ere then multiplied by the and September 1953 employment in the job. hourly earnings were The average salaries average of August 1952 These weighted earn ings for individual occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an a ggre gate for each occupational group. Finally, the ratio of these group aggregates fo r a given year to the aggregate for the base period (survey month, winter 1952-53) was computed and the result multiplied by the base year index (100) to get the index for the given year. The indexes measure, principally, the effects of (l) general salary and wage changes; (2) m erit or other increases in pay received by individual workers while in the same job; and (3) changes in the labor force such as labor turnover, force expansions, force reduc tions, and changes in the proportion of workers employed by estab lishments with different pay levels. Changes in the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. F or example, a force expansion might increase the proportion of lower paid workers in a specific occupation and r e sult in a drop in the average, whereas a reduction in the proportion of lower paid workers would have the opposite effect. The movement of a high-paying establishment out of an area could cause the average earnings to drop, even though no change in rates occurred in other area establishments. The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effects of changes in the proportion of w orkers represented in each job in cluded in the data. Nor are the indexes influenced by changes in standard work schedules or in premium pay for overtim e, since they are based on pay for straight-tim e hours. Indexes for the period 1953 to 1956 fo r workers in 15 other major labor markets appeared in BLS Bull. 1188, Wages and Related Benefits, 17 Labor Markets, 1955-56.
