Introduction 1/
The Kansas City area is one of several important in
dustrial centers in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics is cur
rently conducting occupational wage surveys. Occupations that
are conmon to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufactoring
industries were studied on a community-wide basis. Cross-indus
try methods of sampling were thus utilized in compiling earnings
data for the following types of occupations: (a) office; (b) pro
fessional and technical; (c) maintenance and power plant; (d) cus
todial, warehousing, and shipping. In presenting earnings infor
mation for such jobs (tables A-l through A-k) separate data have
been provided wherever possible for individual broad industry
divisions.
Occupations that are characteristic of particular, im
portant, local industries have been 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 supple
menting) 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 have also been collected and summarized on shift
operations and differentials, hours of work, and supplementary
benefits including vacation and sick leave allowances, paid holi
days, nonproduction bonuses, and insurance and pension plans.
The Kansas City Metropolitan Area
The H-cuuircy Kansas City Metropolitan Area consisting
of Jackson and Wyandotte Counties in Kansas, and Clay and Johnson
Counties in Missouri had an estimated total population of 81^,500
in 1950. The municipality of Kansas City, Mo., accounted for
more than half of this total, the remainder being distributed
among Kansas City, Kans.,
Independence, Mo., and other cities,
villages, and unincorporated areas. The population and the total
labor force of the metropolitan area increased approximately 20
percent during the 10-year period 19^0 to 1950.
l/ Prepared in the Bureau1s regional office in Chicago, 111.,
by James W. Shanks under the direction of George E. Votava,
Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst. The planning and
central direction of the program was carried on in the Branch of
Community Wage Studies of the B u r e a u ^ Division of Wages and
Industrial Relations in Washington, D. C.
2/ See appendix far discussion of scope and method of survey.
In October
1951>
employment in the area totaled over
366,000 workers, of which 108,000 were employed in manufacturing
establishments. Manufacturing employment was divided almost
equally between firms producing durable and nondurable goods. 3 /
Employment in the durable-goods industries was dominated by the
transportation-equipment group, reflecting the growing importance
of Kansas City as an automobile, truck, and aircraft manufactur
ing center. Other durable-goods industry groups of substantial
importance in the Kansas City area include fabricated metal prod
ucts, ordnance and accessories, primary metals, electrical ma
chinery, and nonelectrical machinery.
Of primary importance among the nondurable— goods in
dustry groups in the Kansas City area is food and kindred prod
ucts. The Kansas City meat packing industry, which suffered
serious damage in the recent Missouri River flood, has neverthe
less retained its position of national importance. Among other
significant segments of the food products industry in Kansas City
are grain-mill and bakery products. Additional segments of the
nondurable-goods industries in Kansas City which are of impor
tance include paper, printing, and publishing; chemicals; and
textile and apparel products.
An employment of more than 100,000 workers in wholesale
and retail trade activities In the Kansas City Metropolitan Area
signify this city*s importance as a commercial center which
serves the vast mid-continent market area. The steady growth of
manufacturing and commerce in Kansas City has been paralleled by
the development of substantial transportation, cemmunication,
and public utilities;
services; and finance industries. Rail,
water, air, and highway transportation provide the facilities
necessary to move commodities and people to and from the Kansas
City area. The transportation needs are served by 12 major
trunk-line railroads, 137 truck lines, 5 airlines, Ik bus lines,
and Missouri River barge traffic.
Occupational Wage Structure
Extensive unionization is indicated by the fact that
an estimated 80 percent of the plant workers within scope of the
study were employed in establishments having written agreements
with labor organizations. Union contract coverage for plant
workers among establishments in the transportation, communica-

tion, and other public utilities group was almost universal.
Nearly 90 percent of the plant workers in manufacturing and more
than 80 percent in the service industries were employed in union
plants. Although less extensive than among other nonmanufacturing industries, union contract coverage was substantial in
wholesale and retail trade; and finance,
insurance, and real
estate establishments. Over half the total number of plant work
ers in each of these industry divisions were employed in estab
lishments having written labor agreements.
Unionisation among Kansas City office workers was re
latively insignificant, with one major exception. Nearly 60
percent of all office workers in the transportation, communica
tion, and other public utilities group worked in establishments
having written agreements with unions covering office workers.
Less than 20 percent of the office workers in each of the other
industry groups, however, were covered by union contract provi
sions.
Wages of over three-fourths the plant workers included
in the survey were formally adjusted upward between January
1950 - the base period far the Wage Stabilization Board* s 10percent "catch-up" wage formula — and the time of the study.
These general wage increases were substantially more numerous
after the outbreak of hostilities in Korea than during the pre
ceding 6 months. Nearly all of these wage adjustments were made
on a cents-per-hour basis. Manufacturing plant workers generally
received larger increases than workers in nonmanuf ac tur ing es
tablishments. Almost three-fourths of the manufacturing plant
workers and about a fifth of the nonmanuf ac tur ing workers re
ceived wage adjustments during the period totaling at least 15
cents an hour. Many large manufacturing firms in the Kansas City
area provide for wage adjustments which are based cnthe Bureau*s
Consumers* Price Index. Several firms included in the survey
had negotiated general wage increases to become effective upon
approval by the WSB.
General wage changes for office workers were less ex
tensive than for plant workers. Individual merit or length of
service increases are more commonly used by firms to adjust
salary levels of office workers.
Formalized rate structures for time-rated workers wex-e
reported in establishments employing more than three-fourths of
the plant workers, and were common in all broad industry groups
within the scope of the survey. Plans providing single rates
were slightly more prevalent than those with rate ranges. Most
office workers in the Kansas City area were employed in estab
lishments that based clerical salaries on formalized wage struc
tures. Individual determination of salary rates fbr office work
ers, however, prevailed in the service industries and among non
durable-goods industries.
Incentive methods of wage payments among Kansas City
plant workers were relatively insignificant in all nonmanufac
turing industry groups. Among nondurable-goods
manufacturing
establishments, however, approximately a fourth of all plant
workers participated in some type of incentive wage plan. In
centive system coverage among workers in durable-goods manufac
turing establishments was less extensive, accounting for slightly
more than a tenth of the plant workers.
Minimum entrance rates for inexperienced plant workers
were a part of the formalized wage structures of establishments
employing nearly nine-tenths of the workers in the area. Al
though entrance rates ranged from less than 60 cents to $ 1 .6 0 an
hour, half the workers were employed in establishments with min
imum rates between 75 cents and $1.20. A 75-cent minimum was
the lowest rate reported in any manufacturing or public utility
establishment;
lower minima were found in the trade and service
industries.
Single-shift operations and a ^0-hour workweek were
common for plant workers in Kansas City manufacturing plants.
Approximately 15 percent of all plant workers, in both the dura
ble- and nondurable-goods Industries, were employed on 2d or 3<i
shifts. Nearly all of these workers received shift differentials
usually expressed in terms of a uniform cents-per-hour addition
to day rates. Most extra shift workers received differentials
ranging from k to 7i cents an hour. Forty-hour workweeks were
prevalent among plant workers in all nonmanufacturing groups
with one exception. Most workers in the service industries had
workweek schedules of between kk and ^8 hours. The majority of
women office workers in all industry divisions were scheduled to
work ^0 hours.
About a third of the durable-goods establishments, in
cluded in the study, employing over 60 percent of all plant
workers in this group, based their rates of first-level super
visors
(generally designated leadmen or working foremen) on a
fixed differential
above rates earned by those supervised. In
most instances, differentials took the form of specified per
centages or cents-per-hour additions to the earned rates of the
most highly paid workers supervised. Other plans employed a
method of fixing the minimum of supervisors* rate ranges at the
maximum of the rate ranges applicable to the most highly rated
worker supervised. Such supervisory pay practices were relative
ly Infrequent among establishments in other industry groups.

Occupational Wage Survey, Kansas City, Mo., October 1951
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau of Labor Statistics

Appendix
Scope ai
With the exception 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
t i o n 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 i (a) office
clerical, (b) professional and technical, (o) maintenance and
power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables
A-l through A-A). The covered industry groupings are s 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 size 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, minimum size of establishment and extent of the area
covered were determined separately for each industry (see fol
lowing table).
Although size 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 over
time and night work. Nonproduction 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 soope 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 establishments 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 summarizing 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.
