MO. equipment and ordnance groups which employed nearly half the work ers. Other durable-goods industry groups of substantial importance included fabricated-metal products and electrical machinery. In the nondurable-goods segment of manufacturing, food processing plants accounted for more than a third of the workers. Other important groups included chemicals and allied products; paper, printing, and publishing; and textiles and apparel. Introduction The Kansas City area is one of several important indus trial centers in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics is currently conducting occupational wage surveys* In such surveys, occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are studied on a community-wide basis. X/ Cross-industry methods of sampling are thus utilized in compiling earnings data for the following types of occupations: (a) office; (b) professional and technical; (c) maintenance and power plant; and (d) custodial, ware housing, and shipping. In presenting earnings information for such jobs (tables A-l through A-4) separate data are provided wherever possible for individual broad industry divisions. An estimated 248,000 wage and salary workers were on the payrolls of Kansas City area nonmanufacturing establishments in October 1952. About 97,000 workers were employed in retail and wholesale trade activities. Another 43,800 were employed by the various branches of the transportation and other public utilities industry, including railroads. The service industries employed 38,500 persons in such diverse fields as automobile and other re pair shops, laundries and cleaning establishments, hotels, theaters, radio and television stations, and business service establishments. Federal, State, and local government agencies reported employment of 30,000 workers in the area, and approximately 19,700 persons were employed in finance, insurance, and real estate establishments. Building construction provided jobs for nearly 19,000 workers in October. Earnings information for characteristic occupations in certain more specifically defined industries is presented in Series B tables. Union scales (Series C tables) are presented for selected occupations in several industries or trades in which the great ma jority of the workers are employed under terms of collective-bar^ gaining agreements, and the contract or minimum rates are believed to be indicative of prevailing pay practices. Among the industry and establishment-size groups studied by the Bureau, virtually all manufacturing plant workers were em ployed under union-agreement provisions. In nonmanufacturing in dustries, the proportion of nonoffice workers covered by union agree ments ranged from three-fifths in retail trade to nearly all in the transportation, (except railroads), communication, and other public utilities groups. Unionization was far less significant among Kansas City office workers, with less than 15 percent of the workers employed under the provisions of collective-bargaining agreements in October 1952. The highest proportion of office workers covered by union-agreement provisions was reported in transportation (except railroads), communication, and other public utilities; more than two-thirds of the office workers in this industry group were em ployed under the terms of union contracts. Data are collected and summarized on shift operations and differentials, hours of work, and supplementary benefits such as vacation allowances, paid holidays, and insurance and pension plans. The Kansas City Metropolitan Area The Kansas City Metropolitan Area, consisting of Johnson and Wyandotte Counties in Kansas, and Clay and Jackson Counties in Missouri, ranks seventeenth in size among the standard metropolitan areas of the Nation. The total population of this area is now esti mated at 861,000, a gain of about 20 percent since 194-0. During this period, the population of Kansas City, Mo., proper increased about 15 percent, to an estimated 4-69,000. Occupational Wage Structure Diversified manufacturing, marketing of farm products, transportation, and distribution dominate the business activities of the Kansas City area, measured in terms of employment. Nonagricultural wage and salary employment in the Kansas City area totaled approximately 358,000 workers in October 1952. Manufacturing es tablishments employed an estimated 110,000, divided almost equally between firms producing durable and nondurable goods. Employment in the durable-goods industries was dominated by the transportation In October 1952, gross hourly earnings (including pay for overtime and night work) for manufacturing plant workers in the Kansas City area averaged $1.76,12 cents above the average reported for October 1951, the date of the Bureau*s first community wage sur vey in the area. g/ A substantial part of this increase can be at tributed to company-wide wage adjustments made during the 12-month period. X/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey. Differences between the scope of this survey and the last previous survey are indicated in the appendix table. The construction and extractive industries and government institutions were excluded from each study. g/ Estimates prepared by the Missouri Division of Employment Security in cooperation with the U. S. Department of Labor*s Bureau of Labor Statistics. (1) 2 Wage rates for nearly all Kansas City area plant (non office) workers were determined on the basis of formal rate struc tures. For time-rated jobs, plans specifying a single or flat rate for each occupation were somewhat more common than wage progression plans which provide a range of rates for each job. Among the indus try groups studied, single-rate plans were typical of manufacturing, whereas rate-range plans predominated for plant jobs in nonmanu facturing industries. Piece-rate or bonus incentive payment plans covered plant jobs in which a fifth of all factory workers in manu facturing industries were classified. Such plans were either non- existent or relatively insignificant among the nonmanufacturing in dustries, with the exception of retail trade in which nearly 30 per cent of the nonoffice workers were employed in selling jobs paid on a commission basis. Virtually all formal wage plans reported for office occu pations provided a range of salaries for each job; few office work ers were paid salaries based on single-rate plans. About 30 percent of the office workers in the area were employed in establishments that determined salaries on an individual basis. Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing industries were generally higher than those in nonmanufacturing. In 11 of 15 office classifications permitting comparison, average weekly sala ries in manufacturing establishments exceeded those in nonraanufacturing. Wage rates for selected plant occupations averaged higher in manufacturing industries for 16 of 21 jobs where comparisons were possible. Establishments employing about six-sevenths of the total manufacturing plant workers in the area had formal policies per taining to the payment of work performed on late shifts. These pol-f icies generally specified additional payment for night work and were most frequently expressed in terms of a uniform cents-per-hour differential over established day rates-although percentage differ entials were also reported. Differentials of 5, 6, and 7 cents and 5 percent were most common for sectDnd-shift work whereas 7 cents and 7i percent were most typical for third-shift work. Less than a sixth of the manufacturing plant workers in the area were actually employed on extra shifts at the time of the study. Virtually all these received premium pay for night work, usually expressed in terms of cents-per-hour additions to day rates. A regularly scheduled 4 0 -hour workweek was common for twothirds of nonoffice workers in October 1952; most of the others were on longer schedules. Four of five plant workers in manufacturing industries were scheduled to work 40 hours. Forty-hour weekly schedules also existed for 80 percent of the women office workers, with most of the others on shorter work schedules. 3 A ; Cross-Industry Occupations Table A-i* Office OcCHfUt/iOHd 1/ (Average straight-time weekly hours and earnings for selected occupations studied on an area basis in Kansas City, Mo., by industry division, October 1952) See f o o tn o te a t end o f t a b l e . * T r a n s p o r ta tio n (e x c lu d in g r a i l r o a d s ) , com m unication, and o th e r p u b lic u t i l i t i e s .

In order to use resources efficiently and to pub lish results promptly, the surveys did not cover all establishments in the community. Although those studied are selected to provide representative results, no sample can reflect perfectly all differ ences in occupational structure, earnings, and working conditions among establishments. such jobs were included only for firms ments of the broad industry divisions. Because of the great variation in occupational structure among establishments, estimates of occupational employment are sub ject to considerable sampling fluctuation. Hence, they serve only to indicate the relative numerical importance of the jobs studied. The fluctuations in employment do not materially affect the accuracy of the earnings data. The earnings information excludes premium pay for overtime and night work. Nonproduction bonuses are also excluded, but costof-living bonuses and incentive earnings, including commissions for salespersons, are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is to work schedules (rounded to the nearest half-hour) for which the straight-time sala ries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest 50 cents. The number of workers pre sented refers to the estimated total employment in all establish ments 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 occupationcd classification. With the exception of the union rate scales, information presented in this bulletin was collected by visits of the Bureau’s field representatives to establishments included in the study. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job de scriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job; these job descriptions are available upon request. Six broad industry divisions were covered in compiling earnings data for the following types of occupations: (a) office clerical? (b) professional and technical; (c) maintenance and power plant; and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables A-l through A-A). The industry groupings surveyed are: manufacturing; transportation (except railroads), communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and re€il estate; and services. Information on work schedules and supple mentary benefits fi&so was obtained in a representative group of es tablishments in each of these industry divisions. As indicated in the following table, only establishments above, a certain size were s t u d i e d . S m a l le r e s t a b l is h m e n t s were om iuted b e c a u s e ’t h e y f u r n is h e d i n s u f f i c i e n t em ploym ent i n th e o c c u p a t io n s s t u d ie d t o w a r r a n t i n c l u s io n .

Although size limits frequently varied from those estab lished for surveying cross-industry office and plant jobs, data for meeting the size require A greater proportion of large than of smfiill establishments was studied in order to maximize the number of workers surveyed with available resources. Each group of establishments of a certain size, however, was given its proper weight in the combination of data by industry and occupations. The term ’’office workers'* referred to in this bulletin includes all office clerical employees and excludes administrative, executive, professional, and technical personnel. "Plant workers" includes working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Administra tive, executive, professional and technical employees, and forceaccount construction employees who are utilized as a separate work force, are excluded. Although cafeteria workers, routemen, and in stallation and repair employees are excluded in manufacturing in dustries, these work categories are included as plant workers in nonmanufa cturing industries• Shift-differential data are limited to manufacturing in dustries and have been presented both in terms of establishment policy and according to provisions for workers actually employed on extra shifts at the time of the survey. Establishments were considered as having a shift-differential policy if they met any of the following conditions: operated late shifts at the time of the survey; operated late shifts within 6 months before the field visit; or hfid a union-contract provision for payment of extra-shift work. Proportions in the tabulation of establishment policy are presented 16 in terms of total plant employment, whereas proportions in the sec ond tabulation represent only those workers actually employed on the specified late shift. office workers of the table summarizing scheduled weekly hours. Because of eligibility requirements, the proportion actually re ceiving the specific benefits may be smaller. Information on wage practices other than shift differ entials 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 The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal ar rangements. It excludes informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the employer or other supervisor. Tabulations of insurance and pension plans have been confined to those for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer.
