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 w orkers 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. to the work schedules (rounded to the nearest half hour) fo r which straight-tim e salaries are paid; average weekly earnings fo r these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar. These surveys a re conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying a ll 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. Estim ates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as r e lating to a ll establishments in the industry grouping and area, except for those below the minimum size studied. Information is presented also (in the B -s e rie s tables) on se lected establishment practices and supplementary benefits as they relate to office and plant workers. The term "o ffic e w orkers, " as used in this bulletin, includes a ll office clerica l em ployees and ex cludes adm inistrative, executive, professional, and technical personnel. "Plant w orkers" include working forem en and all nonsupervisory w ork ers (including leadmen and train ees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Adm inistrative, executive, professional, and technical em ployees, and force-account construction employees who a re utilized as a separate work fo rce are excluded. C afeteria w orkers and routemen are ex cluded in manufacturing industries, but are included as plant workers in nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in a ll establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actu ally 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 P ractices and Supplementary Wage Provision s Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational cla s sification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job (see appendix fo r listing of these descriptions). Earnings data are presented (in the A -s e r ie s tables) fo r 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 term s of total ^plant w orkers 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 workers, i. e ., those hired to work a regular weekly sched ule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude premium pay fo r 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 for office clerica 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 Chicago, 111. , by Woodrow C. Linn, under the direction of George E. Votava, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst. 1 See table 1 fo r minim 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 w orkers if a m ajority of such w orkers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the practices listed. 3 Because of rounding, sums of indi vidual items in these tabulations do not necessarily equal totals. The summary of vacation plans is lim ited to form al arran ge ments, excluding inform al plans whereby tim e off with pay is granted at the discretion of the em ployer. Separate estim ates 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 were converted; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of 1 w eek'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 workmen's 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 directly 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 ll such plans to which the em ployer contributes. However, 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 legally 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 orker's pay during absence from work because of illn ess. Separate tabulations are provided according to ( l ) plans which provide full 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 w orkers who are provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of w orkers who re ceive either or both types of benefits. Catastrophe insurance, sometimes re ferred to as extended medical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect em ployees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. M edical insurance re fe rs to plans providing for complete or partial payments 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 orker'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 weekly hours for office w orkers (firs t section of it established at least the minimum number of days of sick leave that table B -3) are presented in term s of the proportion of women office cound be expected by each em ployee. Such a plan need not be written, w orkers employed in offices with the indicated weekly hours fo r women but inform al sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, w o rk ers. w ere excluded.

The "w o rk e rs within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reason ably accurate description of the size and com position of the la b o r force included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, how ever, to se rv e as a b asis of com parison with other a re a employment indexes to m easure employment trends or levels since ( l ) planning of wage surveys re q u ire s the use of establishm ent data com piled consid erably in advance of the pay period studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are e x cluded fro m the scope of the survey. 2 Includes a ll establishm ents with total employment at or above the m in im u m -size lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such industries as trade, finance, auto re p a ir se rv ic e , and m otion-picture theaters are con sidered as 1 establishm ent. 3 Includes executive, technical, profession al, and other w o rk ers excluded fro m the separate office and plant categories. 4 A ls o excludes taxicabs, and se rv ic e s incidental to w ater transportation. 5 This industry division is represen ted in estim ates fo r " a l l in du stries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the Series A and B tables, although co verage was insufficient to justify separate presentation of data. 4 H otels; person al s e rv ic e s ; business s e rv ic e s ; automobile re p a ir shops; radio broadcasting and television; motion pictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations; and engineering and architectural s e rv ic e s . 3 Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups The table below presents indexes of salaries of office clerica l workers and industrial nurses, and of average earnings of selected plant worker groups. ings for individual occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an aggre 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. 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 fo r 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 cle 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; Comptometer operators; c le rk s , file, class A and B; clerks, order; clerks, payroll; key-punch operators; office girls; secretaries; 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 worker data: Skilled— carpenters; electricians; machinists; mechanics; mechanics, automotive; m illw rights; painters; pipefitters; sheet-m etal workers; and tool and die makers; unskilled— janitors, porters, and cleaners; laborers, m aterial handling; and watchmen. 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. For 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 o f workers 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. A verage weekly salaries or average hourly earnings were computed fo r each of the selected occupations. The average salaries or hourly earnings w ere then multiplied by the average of October 1952 and Decem ber 1956 employment in the job. These weighted earn T a b le 2: Indexes fo r 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.
