The sum m ary of vacation plans is lim ited to form al arran ge
m en ts, excluding inform al plans w hereby tim e off with pay is granted
at the d iscretio n of the em p loyer. Separate estim a tes are provided
according to em ployer practice in com puting vacation paym ents, such
as tim e paym ents, percent of annual earn in gs, or fla t-su m am ounts.
H ow ever, in the tabulations of vacation allow an ces, paym ents not on
a tim e b a sis w ere converted; for exam ple, a paym ent of 2 p e r c e n t of
annual earnings was con sid ered as the equivalent of 1 w e ek 's pay.
Data are presen ted for all health, in su ran ce, and pension
plans for which at le a st a part of the c o st is borne by the em p loyer,
excepting only leg al requirem ents such as w ork m en 's com p ensation
and so cia l secu rity . Such plans include those underw ritten by a co m
m ercia l insuran ce com pany and those provided through a union fund or
paid d irectly by the em ployer out of cu rren t operating funds or from
a fund se t asid e for this purpose.. Death b en efits are included as a
form of life in su ran ce.
S ick n ess and accident insuran ce is lim ited' to that type of in
surance under which predeterm ined ca sh paym ents are m ade d irectly
to the insuredion a w eekly or m onthly b a sis during illn e s s or accident
d isab ility. Inform ation is p resen ted for all such plans to which the
em ployer con trib u tes. H ow ever, in New York and New J e r se y , which
have enacted tem porary d isab ility insuran ce law s which require e m
ployer co n trib u tio n s,4 plans are included only if the em p loyer (1) co n
tributes m ore than is leg a lly required, or (2) provides the em ployee
with ben efits which ex ceed the requirem ents of the law . Tabulations
of paid sick -lea v e plans are lim ited to form al p la n s5 which provide
full pay or a proportion of the w ork er's pay during absence from work
b ecau se of illn e s s . Separate tabulations are provided according to
(1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans
providing eith er partial pay or a w aiting period. In addition to the
presentation of the proportions of w orkers who are provided sick n ess
and accident insurance or paid sick lea v e, an unduplicated total is
shown of w orkers who receiv e eith er or both types of b en efits.
C atastrophe in su ran ce, so m etim es referred to as .exten d ed
m ed ical in su ran ce, inclu des those plans which are designed to p rotect
em p loyees in ca se of sick n e ss and injury involving ex p en ses beyond
the norm al coverage of h osp italization , m ed ica l, and su rgical plans.
M edical insurance re fe rs to plans providing for com p lete or partial
paym ent of d octors' fe e s . Such plans m ay be underw ritten by co m m er
cia l insurance com panies or nonprofit organ ization s or they m ay be
self-in su r ed . Tabulations of retirem en t pension plans are lim ited to
those plans that provide m onthly paym ents for the rem ainder of the
w o rk er 's life .
2 An estab lish m en t was con sid ered as having a policy if it m et
eith er of the follow ing conditions: (1) O perated late sh ifts at the tim e
of the su rvey, or (2) had form al provision s coverin g late sh ifts.
3 Scheduled w eekly hours for office w orkers (first sectio n of
table B -3 ) in su rveys m ade prior to late 1957 and ea rly 1958 w ere
p resen ted in term s of the proportion of wom en office w orkers e m
ployed in o ffices with the indicated w eekly hours for w om en w o rk ers.
4 The tem porary d isab ility law s in C aliforn ia and Rhode Island
do not require em ployer con trib u tion s.
5 An estab lish m en t w as con sid ered as having a form al plan if
it estab lish ed at le a st the m inim um num ber of days of sick lea ve that
could be expected by each em p lo yee. Such a plan need not be w ritten ,
but inform al sic k -le a v e allow an ces, determ ined on an individual b a s is ,
w ere excluded.
Shift differential data (table B - l) are lim ited to m anufacturing
in d u stries. This inform ation is presented both in term s of (a) esta b
lish m en t policy, 2 p resented in term s of total plant w orker em p loy
m ent, and (b) effective p ra ctice, presented on the b a sis of w orkers
actually em ployed on the sp ecified shift at the tim e of the su rvey.
In estab lish m en ts having varied d ifferen tia ls, the amount applying to
a m ajority was used or, if no amount applied to a m ajority, the c la s
sifica tio n "other11 was u sed . In estab lish m en ts in which som e la te sh ift hours are paid at norm al ra tes, a differential was record ed only
if it applied to a m ajority of the shift hours.
M inim um entrance rates (table B -2 ) relate only to the esta b
lish m en ts v isited . They are p resented on an estab lish m en t, rather
than on an em ploym ent b a sis. P aid holidays; paid vacations; and
health, insuran ce, and pension plans are treated sta tistica lly on the
b a sis that th ese are applicable to all plant or office w orkers if a m a
jority of such w orkers are elig ib le or m ay eventually qualify for the
p ra ctices liste d . Scheduled hours are treated sta tistica lly on the b a sis
that th ese are applicable to all plant or office w orkers if a m ajority
are c o v e r e d .3 B ecau se of rounding, sum s of individual item s in these
tabulations m ay not equal to ta ls.
The fir s t part of the paid holidays table p resen ts the num
b er of whole and half holidays actually provided. The secon d part
com b ines whole and half holidays to show total holiday tim e .

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups
P resen ted in table 2 are indexes of sa la rie s of office c le rica l
w orkers and industrial n u r se s, and of average earnings of selected
plant w orker groups.
F or office c le rica l w orkers and industrial n u r se s, the indexes
relate to average w eekly sa la rie s for norm al hours of w ork, that is ,
the standard work schedule for which straigh t-tim e sa la rie s are paid.
F or plant w orker groups, they m easu re changes in straigh t-tim e hourly
earn in gs, excluding prem ium pay for overtim e and for w ork on w eek
ends, holid ays, and late sh ifts. The* indexes are based on data for
selected key occupations and include m ost of the n u m erically im portant
jobs w ithin each group. The office c le rica l data are based on wom en in
the follow ing 18 jobs: B ille r s, m achine (billing m achine); bookkeepingm achine op erators, cla ss A and B; C om ptom eter operators; cle rk s, file ,
cla ss A and B; cle rk s, order; cle rk s, payroll; keypunch operators;
office girls; secr eta ries; sten ograp h ers, general; sw itchboard opera
tors; switchboard o p erator-recep tio n ists; tabulating-m achine operators;
tran scrib in g-m achin e op erators, general; and ty p ists, cla ss A and B.
The industrial nurse data are based on wom en industrial n u rses. Men
in the follow ing 10 sk illed m aintenance jobs and 3 unskilled jobs w ere
included in the plant w orker data: Skilled— carpenters; electricia n s;
m ach in ists; m echanics; m ech an ics, autom otive; m illw righ ts; painters;
p ip efitters; sh eet-m eta l w orkers; and tool and die m akers; un sk illed —
jan itors, p o rters, and clean ers; la b o rers, m aterial handling; and
w atchm en.
A verage w eekly sa la rie s or average hourly earnings w ere
computed for each of the selected occupations. The average sa la rie s
or hourly earnings w ere then m ultiplied by the average of 1953 and
1954 em ploym ent in the job. T hese w eighted earnings for individual
occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an aggregate for each occupa
tional group. F inally, the ratio of these group aggregates for a given
year to the aggregate for the b ase period (su rvey m onth, w inter 1952-53)
w as computed and the resu lt m ultiplied by the b ase year index (100) to
get the index for the given year.
A djustm ents have been m ade w h ere n e c e ssa r y to m aintain
com parability. F or exam p le, in m ost of the areas su rveyed , railroad s
w ere included in the coverage of the su rveys for the fir s t tim e this
year. In com puting the in d exes, data relatin g to the railroad industry
w ere excluded.
The indexes m ea su re, p rin cip ally, the effects of (1) gen eral
sa la ry and w age changes; (2) m erit or other in cr ea ses in pay received
by individual w orkers w hile in the sam e job; and (3) changes in the
labor force such as labor turnover, fo rce expansions, force red u c
tion s, and changes in the proportion of w ork ers em ployed by esta b
lishm ents w ith different pay le v e ls. Changes in the labor force can
cause in cr ea ses or d ecrea ses in the occupational averages without
actual w age changes. F or exam ple, a force expansion m ight in crease
the proportion of low er paid w ork ers in a sp ecific occupation and r e
sult in a drop in the averag e, w h ereas a reduction in the proportion
of low er paid w orkers would have the opposite effect. The m ovem ent
of a high-paying estab lish m en t out of an area could cause the average
earnings to drop, even though no change in rates occurred in other
area estab lish m en ts.
The u se of constant em ploym ent w eights elim in ates the effects
of changes in the proportion of w orkers rep resen ted in each job in
cluded in the data. Nor are the indexes influenced by changes in
standard w ork sched ules or in prem ium pay for o vertim e, sin ce they
are based on pay for stra ig h t-tim e hours.
Indexes for the period 1953 to 1959 for w ork ers in 17 m ajor
labor m arkets appeared in BLS B u ll. 1240-22, W ages and R elated
B en efits, 20 Labor M arkets, W inter 1958-59.

Appendix: Occupational Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to a s s is t its
field staff in classify in g into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll
titles and different work arrangem ents from establishm ent to establishm ent and from area to area. T his is
essen tial in order to perm it the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
B ecause of this em phasis on interestablishm ent and interarea com parability of occupational content, the
Bureau’s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishm ents or those
prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field econom ists are
instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped w orkers,
part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
