The stu d ies, m ade from late fall to ea rly spring, relate to occupational earnings and related supplem entary b en efits. A prelim in ary report is available on com pletion 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 ea rlier report. A consolidated an alytical b ulletin sum m arizing the resu lts of all of the y e a r fs su rveys is issu ed after com pletion of the final area bulletin for the current round of su rveys. This report was prepared in the B ureau’s regional office in A tlanta, Ga. , by Donald C ruse, under the d ire c tion of Louis B . W oytych, R egional Wage and Industrial R elations A n alyst. Occupational Wage Survey—Fort Worth, Tex. Introduction This area is one of sev er a l im portant industrial cen ters in which the U .S . Departm ent of Labor* s Bureau of Labor S ta tistics has conducted surveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areaw ide b a sis. In this area, data w ere obtained by personal v isits of Bureau field econ om ists to rep resen tative establishm ents within six broad industry divisions: M anufacturing; tran sp orta tio n ,1 com m unication, and other public u tilities; w h olesale trade; reta il trade; finance, insuran ce, and real estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor in dustry groups excluded from these stu dies are governm ent operations and the construction and extractive in d u stries. E stablishm en ts having few er than a p rescrib ed num ber of w orkers are om itted also because they furnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w ar rant inclu sion . W herever p o ssib le, separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry d ivision s. T hese surveys are conducted on a sam ple b a sis because of the u n n ecessary co st involved in surveying all estab lish m en ts. To obtain appropriate accuracy at m inim um co st, a greater proportion of large than of sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data, how ever, all estab lish m en ts are given their appropriate w eight. E stim ates based on the estab lish m en ts studied are presented, th erefore, as r e lating to all estab lish m en ts in the industry grouping and area, e x cept for those below the m inim um size studied. O ccupations and E arnings The occupations selected for study are com m on to a variety of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in d u stries. O ccupational c la s sification is based on a uniform se t of job d escrip tion s designed to take account of in terestab lish m en t variation in duties within the sam e job. (See appendix for listin g of these d escrip tion s.) E arnings data are presented (in the A -s e r ie s tables) for the follow ing types of occupa tions: (a) O ffice cle rica l; (b) p ro fession a l and technical; (c) m ain te nance and powerplant; and (d) custodial and m aterial m ovem ent. O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w orkers, i. e . , those hired to work a regular w eekly sch ed ule in the given occupational cla ssifica tio n . E arnings data exclude prem ium pay for overtim e and for work on w eekends, holidays, and 1 R ailroads, form erly excluded from the scope of th ese stu d ies, have been added in n early a ll of the areas to be studied during the w inter of 1959-60; railroad s w ill be added in the rem aining areas next year. F or scope of survey in this area, see footnote to "transporta tion, com m unication, and other public u tilities" in table 1. late sh ifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded a lso , but c o st-o fliving bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where w eekly hours are reported, as for office c le r ic a l occupations, referen ce is to the work sched ules (rounded to the n ea rest half hour) for which straigh t-tim e sa la rie s are paid; average w eekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the n ea rest half dollar. A verage earnings of m en and wom en are presented sep arately for selected occupations in which both sex es are com m only em ployed. D ifferen ces in pay lev els of m en and wom en in th ese occupations are largely due to (l) d ifferen ces in the distribution of the sex es among in d ustries and estab lish m en ts; (2) d ifferen ces in sp ecific duties p er form ed, although the occupations are appropriately c la ssifie d within the sam e survey job description; and (3) d ifferen ces in length of s e r v ice or m erit review when individual sa la rie s are adjusted on this basis. Longer average serv ic e of m en would resu lt in. higher average pay when both sex es are em ployed within the sam e rate range. Job d escriptions used in cla ssify in g em p loyees in these su rveys are u su ally m ore gen eralized than those used in individual estab lish m en ts to allow for m inor d ifferen ces among estab lish m en ts in sp ecific duties perform ed. O ccupational em ploym ent estim a tes rep resen t the total in all estab lish m en ts within the scope of the study and not the num ber actu ally surveyed. B ecau se of d ifferen ces in occupational structure among estab lish m en ts, the estim a tes of occupational em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple of estab lish m en ts studied serv e only to indicate the relative im portance of the jobs studied. T hese d ifferen ces in occu pational structure do not m a terially affect the accu racy of the ea rn ings data. E stablishm en t P ra c tic es and Supplem entary Wage P rovision s Inform ation is presented also (in the B -s e r ie s tab les) on s e lected estab lish m en t p ractices and supplem entary ben efits as they r e late to office and plant w ork ers. The term "office w ork ers, " as used in this bulletin, includes working su p erviso rs and nonsu p ervisory w orkers perform ing c le r ic a l or related functions, and exclu d es adm in istr a tiv e, ex ecu tive, and p ro fession a l p erson n el. "Plant w orkers" in clude working forem en and all non su p ervisory w orkers (including lead m en and tra in ees) engaged in nonoffice functions. A d m in istrative, execu tive, and p rofession al em p lo yees, and force-acco u n t construction em ployees who are u tilized as a separate work force are excluded. C afeteria w orkers and routem en are excluded in m anufacturing indus tries, but are included as plant w orkers in nonm anufacturing industries. 2 T able 1.

Separate estim a tes are provided according to em ployer practice in com puting vacation paym ents, such as tim e paym ents, percent of annual earnings, or fla t-su m am ounts. H ow ever, in the tabulations of vacation allow an ces, paym ents not on a tim e b a sis w ere converted; for exam ple, a paym ent of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of 1 week* s pay. Data are presented for all health, in su ran ce, and pension plans for which at le a st a part of the c o st is borne by the em p loyer, excepting only leg al requirem ents such as w orkm en1 s com pensation and so cia l secu rity . Such plans include those underw ritten by a com m ercia l insurance com pany and those provided through a union fund or paid d irectly by the em ployer out of curren t operating funds or from a fund se t aside for this purpose. Death b en efits are included as a form of life insuran ce. S ick n ess and accident insuran ce is limited* to that type of in surance under which predeterm ined cash paym ents are m ade d irectly to the insured on a w eekly or m onthly b a sis during illn e ss or accident d isab ility. Inform ation is presented for all such plans to which the em ployer contributes. H ow ever, in New York and New J e rse y , which have enacted tem porary d isab ility insurance law s which require em ployer co n trib u tion s,4 plans are included only if the em p loyer (1) con tributes m ore than is leg a lly required, or (2) provides the em ployee with benefits which exceed the requirem ents of the law . Tabulations of paid sick -lea v e plans are lim ited to form al p la n s5 which provide full pay or a proportion of the w orker's pay during absence from work because of illn e s s . Separate tabulations are provided according to (1) plans which provide full pay and no w aiting period, and (2) plans providing eith er partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presentation of the proportions of w orkers who are provided sick n ess and accident insurance or paid sick lea v e, an unduplicated total is shown of w orkers who receiv e eith er or both types of b en efits. C atastrophe in su ran ce, som etim es referred to as, extended m edical insuran ce, includes those plans which are designed to protect em ployees in ca se of sick n ess and injury involving exp en ses beyond the norm al coverage of h osp italization , m ed ical, and su rgical plans. M edical insurance re fe rs to plans providing for com plete or partial paym ent of doctors' fe e s . Such plans m ay be underw ritten by co m m er cia l insurance com panies or nonprofit organizations or they m ay be self-in su r ed . Tabulations of retirem en t pension plans are lim ited to those plans that provide m onthly paym ents for the rem ainder of the w o rk er's life . An estab lish m en t was con sid ered as having a policy if it m et eith er of the follow ing conditions: (1) O perated late shifts at the tim e of the su rvey, or (2) had form al p rovisions coverin g late sh ifts. 3 Scheduled w eekly hours for office w orkers (first section table B -3 ) in surveys made prior to late 1957 and ea rly 1958 w ere presented in term s of the proportion of wom en office w orkers em ployed in o ffices with the indicated w eekly hours for wom en w ork ers. 4 The tem porary d isab ility law s in C alifornia and Rhode Island do not require em ployer contributions. 5 An estab lish m en t was con sid ered as having a form al plan if ofit estab lish ed at le a st the m inim um num ber of days of sick leave that could be expected by each em p lo yee. Such a plan need not be w ritten , but inform al sick -lea v e allow an ces, determ ined on an individual b a sis, w ere excluded. Shift differential data (table B - l) are lim ited to m anufacturing in d u stries. This inform ation is presented both in term s of (a) esta b lish m en t p olicy, 2 presented in term s of total plant worker em ploy m ent, and (b) effective p ractice, presented on the b a sis of w orkers actually em ployed on the sp ecified shift at the tim e of the survey. In estab lish m en ts having varied d ifferen tia ls, the amount applying to a m ajority was used or, if no amount applied to a m ajority, die c la s sification "other" was used. In estab lish m en ts in which som e la tesh ift hours are paid at norm al ra tes, a differential was record ed only if it applied to a m ajority of the shift hours. M inim um entrance rates (table B -2) relate only to the esta b lish m en ts v isited . They are presented on an establishm ent, rather than on an em ploym ent b a sis. Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insuran ce, and pension plans are treated sta tistica lly on the b a sis that these are applicable to all plant or office w orkers if a m a jority of such w orkers are elig ib le or m ay eventually qualify for the p ra ctices liste d . Scheduled hours are treated sta tistica lly on the b asis that th ese are applicable to all plant or office w orkers if a m ajority are covered . 3 B ecau se of rounding, sum s of individual item s in these tabulations m ay not equal totals. The fir s t part of the paid holidays table p resen ts the num b er of whole and half holidays actually provided. The second part com bines whole and half holidays to show total holiday tim e .

T his is essen tial in order to permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. B ecause of this em phasis on interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau’s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishm ents or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field econom ists are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped w orkers, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
