The studies, made from late fa ll to ea rly spring, relate to occupational earnings and related supplementary benefits. A prelim in ary report is available on completion of the study in each area, usually in the month following the payroll period studied. This bulletin provides additional data not included in the ea rlie r report. A consolidated analytical bulletin summarizing the results of a ll of the year*s surveys is issued after completion of the final area bulletin fo r the current round of surveys.

The 1954 report also provided tabulations of wage structure ch aracteristics, labor-management agreem ents, and overtim e pay provisions. The 1955 report also included data on frequency of wage payments, and pay provisions for holidays falling on nonworkdays. A d irectory indicating date of study and the price of the reports, as w ell as reports fo r other m ajor areas, is available upon request. Union scales, indicative of prevailing pay levels in the Los A ngeles-Lon g Beach area, a re available for the following trades or industries: Building construction, printing, local-tran sit opera ting em ployees, and motortruck d rivers . Occupational W age Survey - Los Angeles-Long Beach, C a lif.* Introduction 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. The Los A n geles-Lon g Beach area is one of several important industrial centers in which the Department of Labor*s Bureau of Labor Statistics has conducted surveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areawide basis. In each area, data are obtained by personal visits of Bureau field agents to representative establish ments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation (excluding railroads), communication, and other public utilities; whole sale trade; reta il 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 extra c tive industries. Establishments having few er than a prescribed number of w orkers are omitted also because they furnish insufficient em ploy ment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion. 1 W herever possible, separate tabulations are provided fo r each of the broad industry divisions. Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actu a lly surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure among establishments, the estim ates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differen ces in occupational structure do not m aterially affect the accuracy of the earnings data. Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provision s 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 w orkers. The term "o ffic e w o r k e r s ," as used in this bulletin, includes a ll office c le rica l em ployees and ex cludes adm inistrative, executive, professional, and technical personnel. "Plant w orkers" include working forem en and a ll nonsupervisory w ork ers (including leadmen and tra in ees) engaged in nonoffice functions. A dm inistrative, executive, professional, and technical em ployees, and force-account construction em ployees 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 w orkers in nonmanufacturing industries. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all 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, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. Estim ates based on the establishments studied are presented, th erefore, as r e lating to a ll establishments in the industry grouping and area, except for those below the minimum size studied. Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational c la 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 for listing of these descriptions). Earnings data are presented (in the A -s e r ie s tables) for the following types of occupa tions: (a) Office c le rica 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 orker em ploy ment, and (b) effective practice, presented on the basis of w orkers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differen tials, 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 a re shown for fu ll-tim e w orkers, 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 fo r 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 fo r office cle ric a 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 a re applicable to a ll plant or office * This report was prepared in the Bureau*s regional office in San Francisco, C a lif. , by W illiam P . 0*Connor, under the direction of John L . Dana, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst. 1 See table 1 fo r m inim 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 fo r the practices listed. 3 Because of rounding, sums of indi vidual items in these tabulations do not n ecessarily equal totals. The summary of vacation plans is lim ited to form al a rran 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 tim e payments, percent of annual earnings, or flat-sum amounts. However, in the tabulations of vacation allowances, payments not on a tim e basis w ere converted; fo r example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of 1 week’ 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 leg al 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 d irectly by the em ployer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside fo r 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 predeterm ined cash payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly or monthly basis during illn ess or accident disability. Information is presented fo r a ll such plans to which the e m p lo y er co n tribu tes. H o w e v e r, in N e w Y o rk and N e w J e rs e y , 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 leg ally required, or (2) provides the em ployee with benefits which exceed the requirem ents 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 worker*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 receive 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 fers to plans providing for complete or partial payment 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 ork er’ 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 itofestablished at least the minimum number of days of sick leave that could be expected by each em ployee. Such a plan need not be written, table B -3 ) are presented in term s of the proportion of women office but inform al sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, w orkers employed in offices with the indicated weekly hours fo r women w orkers. w ere excluded.

The "w orkers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the su rve y. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of com parison with other area employment indexes to m easure em ploy ment trends or levels since ( l ) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the pay period studied, and (2) sm all establishments are excluded from the scope of the su rve y. 2 Includes a ll establishments with total employment at or above the m in im u m -s iz e lim itation. A ll outlets (within the a rea) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto re p a ir se rvice, and m otion -p icture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. 3 Includes executive, technical, professional, and other w orke rs excluded from the separate office and plant categories. 4 A lso excludes taxicabs, and services incidental to w ater transportation. Los An ge le s’ e lectric utilities are m u nicip ally operated and, therefore, excluded b y definition from the scope of the studies. 5 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a ll ind ustrie s" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S eries A and B tables, although coverage was insufficient to justify separate presentation of data. 6 Estim ate relates to rea l estate establishments only. 7 Hotels; personal se rvices; business se rvices; automobile re p a ir shops; radio broadcasting and television; m o tion -p icture distribution and m otion -p icture theaters; nonprofit m em bership organizations; and engineering and a rch itectu ral se rvic e s. 8 M o tio n-pictu re production and services independent of m o tion -p icture production but allied thereto. 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 w orker groups. F o r office cleric a l w orkers and industrial nurses, the indexes relate to average w eekly salaries fo r norm al hours of work, that is, the standard work schedule fo r which straight-tim e salaries are paid. F o r plant w orker groups, they measure changes in straight-tim e hourly earnings, excluding premium pay fo r overtim e and for work on w eek ends, holidays, and late shifts. The indexes are based on data for selected key occupations and include most of the num erically im portant jobs within each group. The office c le rica l data are based on women in the follow ing 18 jobs: B ille rs , machine (billing m a chine); bookkeeping-machine operators, class A and B; Comptometer operators; clerks, file , class A and B; clerks, order; clerks, pay ro ll; key-punch operators; office g irls; secreta ries; stenographers, general; switchboard operators; switchboard operator-receptionists; tabulating-machine operators; transcribing-m achine operators, gen eral; and typists, class A and B. The industrial nurse data are based on women industrial nurses. Men in the follow ing 10 skilled mainte nance jobs and 3 unskilled jobs w ere included in the plant w orker data: Skilled— carpenters; electricians; machinists; mechanics; m e chanics, automotive; m illw rights; painters; pipefitters; sheet-m etal w orkers; and tool and die makers; unskilled— janitors, porters, and cleaners; laborers, m aterial handling; and watchmen. A verage weekly salaries or average hourly earnings w ere computed for each of the selected occupations. The average salaries or hourly earnings w ere then m ultiplied by the average of February 1953 and March 1954 employment in the job. These weighted earn T A B L E 2: ings fo r individual occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an a g g re gate for each occupational group. Finally, the ratio of these group aggregates fo r a given year to the aggregate fo r the base period (survey month, winter 1952-53) was computed and the result multiplied by the base year index (100) to get the index fo r the given year. The indexes m easure, 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 fo rce such as labor turnover, fo rce expansions, force reduc tions, and changes in the proportion of w orkers 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. F o r example, a fo rce 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 low er 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 elim inates the effects of changes in the proportion of w orkers represented in each job in cluded in the data. Nor are the indexes influenced by changes in standard work schedules or in premium pay fo r overtim e, since they are based on pay for straight-tim e hours.
