Introduction y
The Jacksonville area is 1 of 40 major labor markets
in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics is currently conducting
occupational wage surveys •
Occupations common to a variety of
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries were studied on a
community-wide basis.
Cross-industry methods of sampling were
thus utilized in compiling earnings data for the following types
of occupations:
(a) office;
(b) professional and technical;
(c) maintenance and power plant;
(d) custodial, warehousing,
and shipping.
In presenting earnings information for such jobs
(tables A-l through A-4) separate data have been provided wher­
ever possible for individual broad industry divisions.
Occupations characteristic of particular,
important,
local industries were studied on an industry basis, within the
framework of the community survey. 2/
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 terms of
collective-bargaining agreements, and the contract or minimum
rates are indicative of prevailing pay practices#
Data were collected and summarized on shift operations
and differentials,
hours of work, and supplementary benefits
such as vacation and sick leave allowances, paid holidays, non­
production bonuses, and insurance and pension plans.

Nonagricultural wage and salary workers in the Jack­
sonville Metropolitan Area totaled 106,150 during May 1952. 2/
Of this number, approximately 18,000 were engaged in manufac­
turing pursuits with manufacturers of transportation equipment
accounting for about 3,650 workers. Food and kindred products
plants employed another 2,750 persons and lumber and wood prod­
ucts companies had 1,650 on their payrolls, Chemical and print­
ing and publishing firms employed 1,350 and 1,200 workers, re­
spectively.
Among the major nonmanufacturing industry groups stud­
ied, retail trade establishments led in employment with almost
21,000 persons.
Approximately 14,600 workers were employed by
transportation (including railroads),
communication, and other
public utility establishments at the time of the survey.
Wholesale trade and service firms each employed about 11,000
persons, and finance, insurance, and real estate firms employed

6 ,000 .

Among the industries and establishment-size groups
studied by the Bureau, unionization was almost wholly confined
to the manufacturing and transportation,
communication, and
public utility groups. Approximately three-fourths of all public
utility plant and office employees were working under terms of
labor-management agreements,
and five-eighths of all manufac­
turing plant workers were in establishments having written agree­
ments with labor organizations.
There was considerably less
unionization in the wholesale trade and service groups and none
was reported in retail trade or finance establishments.

Occupational W age Structure
The Jacksonville Metropolitan A re a
The Jacksonville Metropolitan Area, entirely in Duval
County, had a total population of 302,711 persons in 1950. Of
these, approximately two-thirds resided within the city limits
of Jacksonville.
Jacksonville is the leading transportation, industrial,
and distribution center of the State. Pour major airlines, four
prominent railroad systems,
and a network of modern highways
connect the city with all parts of the Nation. Commercial har­
bor and shipbuilding activities are extensive, and both sea and
air naval facilities are an integral part of the areafs economy.

1/ Prepared in the Bureau* s regional office in Atlanta, Ga.,
by Louis B. Woytych under the direction of Harry H. Hall, Re­
gional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst. The planning and
oentral direction of the program was carried on in the Bureau* s
Division of Wages and Industrial Relations.
2/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey.




Extensive general wage adjustments were made by Jack­
sonville establishments between January 1950,
the base period
for the Wage Stabilization Board’s 10-percent "catch-up” wage
increase formula, and the time of the survey. Few wage changes
were effected prior to the outbreak of hostilities in Korea,
but became more numerous thereafter.
About nine-tenths of the
manufacturing and public utility plant workers,
one-half of
wholesale trade nonoffice employees, and almost one-fifth of the
plant workers in services industries were granted wage increases
between July 1950 and May 1952.
Less than 2 percent of the
plant employees in other nonmanufacturing establishments received
general wage increases. Formal wage increases for office work­
ers also were extensive, with more than half of these employees
in all industries affected.
Increases were generally higher in
manufacturing firms,
commonly ranging from 8 to 18 cents an
hour, whereas a majority of increases among nonmanufacturing
establishments ranged from 5 to 12 cents.

2/ Labor Market Trends, July 1952, Florida State Employment
Service, Jacksonville, Florida.

Minimum entrance rates fbr inexperienced plant workers
were established by virtually all Jacksonville firms within the
scope of the survey* Although minimum entrance rates among all
industries ranged from 24 cents an hour to #1*41, few rates be­
low 75 cents were reported in manufacturing and wholesale trade
firms, and none in public utility companies; a large majority
of both retail trade and service employees,
however, were em­
ployed by companies with established hourly minima below 75
cents*

The scheduled workweek was 40 hours for approximately
three-fifths of the plant workers and more than half the women
office workers in all Jacksonville industries* The workweek for
public utility, wholesale trade, and retail trade groups was
generally longer than for other broad industry groups studied*
About a fourth of the public utility plant workers and more than
a fifth of the retail trade plant employees worked in excess of
48 hours, and more than two-fifths of the plant workers in serv­
ices industries .had a scheduled workweek of 48 hours*

Salaries of office workers were higher in nonmanufac­
turing industries than in manufacturing for a majority of com­
parable jobs studied*
In 8 of 15 office job classifications,
salaries of workers in nonmanufacturing establishments were
higher* This situation was reversed far plant occupations where,
in 12 of 15 comparable jobs, manufacturing plant workers re­
ceived higher rates than those in nonmanufacturing*

Virtually all Jacksonville office employees and al­
most two-thirds of the plant workers within scope of the survey
received one or more paid holidays a year* Among most industry
groups studied,
five holidays were most common whereas the
finance group granted more holidays than other industries, with
more than a fifth of the workers receiving 13 holidays a year*

More than a fourth, of the manufacturing plant workers
in the Jacksonville area were employed on extra shifts* Almost
half of the second-shift workers and more than a third of the
workers on third shifts were paid shift differentials, expressed
as cents-per-hour additions to day rates* Second-shift premiums
ranged from 5 to 10 cents an hour— with 8 cents the most frequent
amount paid*
Third-shift differentials also ranged from 5 to
10 cents an hour*




About a sixth of the plant workers in the manufac­
turing industries and in the transportation, communication, and
public utilities group were employed in establishments which
based their rates of first-level supervision on a fixed differ­
ential above rates earned by those supervised*
These differ­
entials took the form of a specified percentage, cents-per-hour,
of a daily salary addition to the earnings of the most highly
paid workers supervised*
Such supervisory pay practices were
negligible among establishments in other industry groups*

Occupational Wage Survey, Jacksonville, Fla., May 1952
Bureau of Labor Statistics

Appendix - Scope
Vith the exoeptlon of the union scale of rates, in­
formation presented in this bulletin was collected by visits of
field representatives of the Bureau to representative establish­
ments in the area surveyed* In classifying workers by occupa­
tion, uniform job descriptions were used; these are available
upon request*
Six broad industry divisions were covered in compiling
earnings data for the following types of occupations s (a) office
clerical, (b) professional and technical, (o) maintenance and
power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables
A-l through A-4). The covered industry groupings ares manufac­
turing; transportation (except railroads), communication, and
other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance,
insurance, and real estate; and services* Information on work
schedules and supplementary benefits also was obtained in a rep­
resentative group of establishments in each of these industry
divisions* As indicated in the following table only establish­
ments above a certain sise were studied* Smaller establishments
were omitted because they furnished insufficient employment in
the occupations studied to warrant their inclusion*

Among the industries in which characteristic jobs were
studied,
sise of establishment and extent of the area
covered were determined separately for each industry (see fol­
lowing table)*
Although sise limits frequently varied from
those established for surveying cross-industry office and plant
jobs, data far 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 with available resources* Each group of establishments




Method of Survey
of a certain size, however, was given its proper weight in the
combination of data by industry and occupation*
The earnings information excludes premium pay for overtins and night work* Vonproduotion bonuses are also excluded,
but cost-of-living bonuses and incentive earnings, including
commissions for salespersons, are included* Where weekly hours
are reported as for office clerical, they refer to the work sched­
ules (rounded to the nearest half-hour; for which the straighttime salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occu­
pations have been rounded to the nearest 50 cents* The number
of workers presented refers to the estimated total employment in
all establishments 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*
Information on wage practices 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 office workers
of the table sumnariaing scheduled weekly hours* Because of eli­
gibility requirements, the proportion actually receiving the
specific benefits may be smaller*
The summary of vacation and
sick leave plans is limited to formal arrangements* It excludes
informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the dis­
cretion of the employer or other supervisor* Sick leave plans
are further limited to those providing full pay for at least
some amount of time off without any provision for a waiting
period preceding the payment of benefits* These plans also ex­
clude health insurance even though it is paid for by employers*
Health insurance is included, however, under tabulation for in­
surance and pension plans*
