Introduction l!

Wage and salary workers in nonagricultural pursuits
numbered 1,624,000 in January 1952. The importance of the area
as a focal point for manufacturing activities in the West is
shown In the employment of 520,000, or about a third of the labor
force, in a wide variety of manufacturing industries. Although
a little more than half the manufacturing employment was in
metalworking industries in 1952, the remainder was in such diver­
sified production as men's and women's apparel, office and house­
hold furniture, food products, rubber tires and tubes, petroleum
products, industrial chemicals, and clay and glass products.

The Los Angeles area is lof 4.0 major labor markets in
vhieh the Bureau of Labor Statistics is currently conducting
occupational vage surveys 0 Occupations common to a variety of
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries were studied on a
community-wide basis 0 Cross-industry methods of sampling were
thus utilised 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.

A fourth of the manufacturing workers were employed in
the aircraft industry (including aircraft parts).
Machinery
manufacturing, predominantly oil-field equipment and refrigera­
tion apparatus, accounted for 74,000 workers; other fabricated
metal manufacturers employed 43,000. Food processing industries
provided employment for 40,000 workers and the apparel indus­
tries employed 38*000.

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 are 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 in­
dicative of prevailing pay practices.

Among nonmanufacturing industries, employment in whole­
sale and retail trade numbered 366,000 and a labor force of
232,000 was employed in the services industries. An important
segment of this latter group, with 34,000 employees, was the
motion-picture industry which is popularly identified with
the Los Angeles area economy. In the public utilities group of
industries, including communication and transportation, 117,000
were employed. Finance, insurance, and real estate establish­
ments had 74*000 workers, and the functions of Federal, State,
and local governments were carried out in Los Angeles by 200,000.
The building construction industry, significant in an area of
constantly increasing population, employed 101,000 workers.

Data were collected and summarised 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.

The Los Angeles Metropolitan Area

Among the industry and establishment-size groups sur­
veyed:, three-fourths of the workers in nonoffice jobs were em­
ployed in establishments having written agreements with labor
organizations. Virtually all plant workers in the public utili­
ties group of industries were employed under union contract pro­
visions, and in manufacturing and trade the ratio of plant work­
ers in unionized establishments was greater than 75 percent.

The estimated population of the Los Angeles Metropoli­
tan Area was A,367,900 in 1950. Of these, slightly less than
half lived in the city of Los Angeles and the others were widely
spread within the confines of Los Angeles and Orange Counties an expanse of almost 5,000 square miles0
Extensive land use by this latter rural-urban popula­
tion is reflected in a labor force of about 100,000 engaged in
fanning in 1950. These, however, constituted less than 5 per­
cent of the total civilian labor force in the area.

A fourth of the Los Angeles office workers were in
firms which had collective-bargaining agreements covering pay
and working conditions for office workers. The highest degree
of unionization for these workers was found in the public utili­
ties group (75 percent) and in durable-goods manufacturing 2/
(36 percent).

1/ Prepared in the Bureau fs regional office in San Francisco,
Calif., by William P0 O'Connor under the direction of John L.
Dana, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst. The plan­
ning and central direction of the program was carried on in the
Bureau's Division of Wages and Industrial Relations*

Although seme instances of collective bargaining on
the multiemployer, industry-wide, master-agreement scale existed
in the Los Angeles area, most negotiations were carried out on
a single-unit basis.

Occupational Wage Structure
During the year preceding the survey, wages were for­
mally adjusted upward by establishments employing three-fourths
of the plant workers. These pay raises were almost invariably
for 5 or more cents an hour, and amounted to 10 or more cents
for two-thirds of those receiving increases. On an industry
group basis, the largest proportion of workers receiving increases
was in the public utilities group. More than nine-tenths of the
plant workers in these establishments received formal wage ad­
justments.
More than 60 percent of the office workers in the area
were employed in establishments which formally raised salaries
during the 1-year period. Of these workers, almost half had
weekly pay raises of at least $4, In addition to these general
wage increase recipients, many other Los Angeles office workers
vere granted raises on an individual or merit basis.
Formalized rate structures for time workers were re­
ported in establishments employing 95 percent of Los Angeles
plant workers. Approximately half of these were in establish­
ments which stipulated single rates for each job classification,
with the remainder working under plans which provided ranges of
rates. Among office workers, 80 percent were in firms having
formalized rate structures, and almost all of these structures
were of the rate-range type. For other office workers, salaries
were determined on an individual basis.
In the Los Angeles area, the establishment of minimum
entrance rates for inexperienced plant workers was the practice
in nearly all firms. On an all-industry basis, 90 percent of
the workers were employed in establishments paying an hourly
minimum of 85 cents or more; more than half were in establish­
ments which paid $1,10 or more. Highest minimum entrance rates
were generally found In the manufacturing, public utilities, and
wholesale trade groups.




Supervisory pay was based on a fixed relationship to
the rates of workers supervised in establishments employing about
30 percent of the Los Angeles area plant workers0 Among the
industry groups studied, these formalized plans were most preva­
lent in the durable-goods manufacturing group - nearly 40 per­
cent of the plant workers were employed in establishments with
such plans. Formal plans for the establishment of supervisory
pay typically were based on a cents-per-hour differential above
the highest rates of those supervised; however, percentage dif­
ferentials were also frequent. Cents-per-hour
differentials
ranged from the top rate of the highest classification supervised
to 50 cents an hour more than the rate of the highest-paid work­
ers supervised.
Salaries of office workers in manufacturing industries
were generally higher than in nonmanufacturing. In 24 of 37
office job classifications permitting comparison, salaries of
workers in manufacturing plants were higher than those in non­
manufacturing o However, average salaries in one nonmanufactur­
ing segment— motion pictures— exceeded averages in both manu­
facturing and nonmanufacturing in all cases permitting compari­
son.
The relatively high rate structures in the motionpicture industry largely accounted for the high occupational
averages of plant workers in nonmanufacturing. In 18 of 31
occupations permitting comparison, average hourly earnings in
nonmanufacturing establishments were higher than in manufactur­
ing o Averages In the motion picture production industry exceeded
both those in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing in all instances.
About a fourth of the workers in Los Angeles manufac­
turing plants were employed on late shifts in January 1952, All
but a small number of these were paid shift premiums, usually
expressed in terms of cents-per-hour over day-shift rates. The
most frequently reported premium for second-shift work was 8
cents. Few employees worked on third shifts.

Almost 85 percent of the women office workers were
scheduled to work a 4-0-hour week in January 1952, In the finance
group and the service industries, women office workers were on
a somewhat shorter workweek. Four of every five plant workers
were on a 40-hour weekly schedule, whereas most of the remainder
worked 48 hours or more a week.

Appendix

Scope

With the exception of the union soale of rates, in­
formation presented in this bulletin was oolleoted 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 * (a) office
clerical, (b) professional and technical, (e) maintenance and
power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables
A-l through A-A)* The covered industry groupings are i 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 for 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




id Method of Survey

of a certain size, however, waa 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. Nonproduotion bonuses are also excluded,
but eost-of-living bonuses and incentive earnings, including
commissions for salespersons, are inoluded. Where weekly hours
are reported as for offioo olerioal, they refer to the work sched­
ules (rounded to the nearest half-hour) for whioh the straighttime salaries are paid) average weekly earnings for these occu­
pations have been rounded to the nearest $0 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 establishment's full-time
schedule for the given occupational classification.
Information cm wage practices refers to all offioe
and plant workers as specified in the individual tables. It is
presented in terms of the proportion of all workers employed la
offloss
(or plant departments) that observe the praotioe In
question, except in the section relating to women offioe workers
of the table sumnarising scheduled weekly hours • Because of eli­
gibility requirements, the proportion actually receiving the
specific benefits m ay be smaller.
The summary of vacation and
siek leave plans is limited to formal arrangements. It exoludes
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 far by employers.
Health insurance is inoluded, however, under tabulation for in­
surance and pension plans.
