Preface
The Community Wage Survey P rogram
The Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly conducts
areawide wage surveys in a number of important industrial
centers.
The studies, made from late fall to early spring,
relate to occupational earnings and related supplementary
benefits.
A prelim inary 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 earlier report.
A consolidated analytical
bulletin summ arizing the results of all of the y e a r’ s surveys
is issued after completion of the final area bulletin for the

Introduction
The L os A n geles-L on 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 b a sis. In each area, data are obtained
by Bureau field agents from representative establishm ents within six
broad industry divisions:
Manufacturing; transportation (excluding
railroads), communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade;
retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and serv ic es. Major
industry groups excluded from these studies; besides railroads, are
government operations and the construction and extractive industries.
Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are
omitted also because they furnish insufficient employment in the o c
cupations studied to warrant inclusion. 1 Wherever possible, separate
tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions.
These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the
unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishm ents. To obtain
appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large
than of sm all 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 all establishments in the industry grouping and a rea, ex
cept for those below the minimum size studied.
Occupations and Earnings
The occupations selected for study are common to a variety
of m anufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational c la s
sification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to
take account of inter establishment 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 clerica l; (b) professional and technical; (c) m ainte
nance and powerplant; and (d) custodial and m aterial movement.
Occupational employment and earnings data are 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 for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts.
Nonproduction bonuses are excluded a lso , but c o s t -o fliving bonuses and incentive earnings are included.
Where weekly
hours are reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is

San F ran cisco, C a li f., by W illiam P . O ’ Connor, under the direction
of John L . Dana, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst.

to the work schedules (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which
straight-tim e salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these
occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar.
Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in all
establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actu
ally surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure among
establishm ents, 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 differences in occu
pational structure do not m aterially affect the accuracy of the earn
ings data.
Establishment P ractices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Information is presented also (in the B -s e r ie s tables) on se
lected establishment practices and supplementary benefits as they r e
late to office and plant w orkers.
The term "office w o r k e r s ," as
used in this bulletin, includes all office clerical employees and ex
cludes adm inistrative, executive, p rofession al, and technical personnel.
"Plant w o rk ers" include working foremen and allnonsupervisory work
ers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions.
A dm inistrative, executive, profession al, and technical em ployees, and
force-account construction employees who are utilized as a separate
work force are excluded.
Cafeteria workers and routemen are ex
cluded in manufacturing industries, but are included as plant workers
in nonmanufacturing industries.
Shift differential data (table B - l ) are lim ited to manufacturing
industries. This information is presented both in term s of (a) estab
lishment p o lic y ,2 presented in term s of total plant worker em ploy
ment, and (b) effective practice, presented on the basis of workers
actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey.
In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to
a m ajority was used o r, if no amount applied to a m ajority, the cla s
sification "o th e r " was used.
In establishments in which some la te shift hours are paid at normal r a tes, a differential was recorded only
if it applied to a m ajority of the shift hours.
Minimum entrance rates (table B -2 ) relate only to the estab
lishm ents visited.
They are presented on an establishment, rather
than on an employment b a sis. Overtime pay practices; paid holidays;
paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated
statistically on the basis that these are applicable to all plant or office
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 sh ifts.

workers if a m ajority of such workers are eligible or may eventually
qualify for the practices listed .
Scheduled hours, wage structure
ch aracteristics, and labor-m anagem ent agreements are treated sta
tistically on the basis,that these are applicable to all plant or office
workers if a m ajority are c o v e r e d .3 Because of rounding, sums of
individual item s in these tabulations do not necessarily equal totals.
The first part of the paid holidays table presents the num
ber of whole and half holidays actually provided.
The second part
combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday tim e .
The
third section presents a list of the paid holidays and the proportions
of workers to whom they are granted annually.
The summ ary of vacation plans is lim ited to form al arrange
m ents, excluding informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted
at the discretion of the em ployer.
Separate estim ates are provided
according to employer practice in computing vacation payments, such
as time paym ents, percent of annual earnings, or fla t-su m amounts.
However, in the tabulations of vacation allowances, payments not on
a time basis were converted; for exam ple, a payment of 2 percent of
annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of 1 w e e k 's pay*
Data are presented for all health, insurance, and pension
plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the em ployer,
excepting only legal requirements such as w orkm en^ compensation
and social security. Such plans include those underwritten by a co m -
m ercial insurance company and those provided through a union fund or
paid directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from
a fund set aside for 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 for all such plans to which the
employer contributes. However, in New York and New J ersey, which
have enacted tem porary disability insurance laws which require em
ployer contributions,4 plans are included only if the employer (l) con
tributes m ore than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee
with benefits which exceed the requirem ents of the law . Tabulations
of paid sick-leave plans are lim ited to form al p la n s5 which provide
full pay or a proportion of the worker *s pay during absence from work
because of illn e ss.
Separate tabulations are provided according to
(1) 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 workers who are provided sickness
and accident insurance or paid sick lea ve, an unduplicated total is
shown of workers who receive either or both types of benefits.
4 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island
do not require employer contributions.
5 An establishment was considered as having a form al plan if
it established at least the minimum number of days of sick leave that

Scheduled weekly hours for office workers (first section of
could be expected by each em ployee. Such a plan need not be written,

weekly hours for women w orkers.

The "w ork ers within scope of stud y" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the
size and com position of the labor forc e included in the survey.
The estim ates are not intended, how ever, to serve as a basis of com parison with other area em ployment indexes to m easu re em ployment
trends or levels since ( l) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishm ent data compiled considerably in advance of the pay period studied, and (2) sm a ll establishm ents are excluded from
the
scope of the survey.
* Includes a ll establishm ents with total em ployment at or above the m in im u m -siz e lim itation.
A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair serv ic e and
m otion-picture theaters are considered as 1 establishm ent.
3 Includes executive, technical, p rofession al, and other w orkers excluded from the separate office and plant categories.
4 A lso excludes taxicabs, and serv ic es incidental to water transportation.
Los A n g e le s’ electric utilities and m ost of its local transit are m unicipally operated and, therefore, excluded by definition
from the scope of the studies.
5 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a ll in d u strie s" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S eries A and B tables, although coverage was insufficient to ju stify separate presentation of data.

* M otion-picture production and services independent of m otion-picture production but allied thereto.

Catastrophe insurance, som etim es referred to as extended
medical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect
employees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond
the normal coverage of hospitalization, m edical, and surgical plans.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial
payment of d o cto rs1 fe e s. Such plans may be underwritten by co m m er
cial insurance companies or nonprofit organizations or they may be
self-in su red .
Tabulations of retirem ent pension plans are lim ited to
those plans that provide monthly payments for the remainder of the
w orker1s life .
With reference to wage structure ch aracteristics, proportions
of time and incentive workers directly reflect employment under each
pay system . However, because of technical considerations, all tim e
rated workers (plant or office) in an establishment were classified to
the predominant type of rate structure applying to these w orkers.
Incentive-worker employment was classified according to the p re
dominant type of incentive plan in each establishment.
Graduated provisions for premium overtime pay were c la s s i
fied to the first effective premium rate. For exam ple, a plan calling
for time and one-half after 8 a n d . double time after 10 hours a day
was tabulated as tim e and one-half after 8 hours.
Sim ilarly, a plan
calling for no pay or pay at regular rate after 37V 2 hours (regular
weekly schedule) and time and one-half after 40 was considered as
time and one-half after 40 hours.

tfOTE: In the tabulations of vacation allowances by years of service, payments other than "length of tim e,"
such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-sum payments, were converted to an equivalent time
basis; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 week's pay.

Appendix: Job Descriptions
The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau1s wage surveys is to
a ssist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations w orkers who are employed under
a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment

This is essential in order to perm it the grouping of occupational wage
rates representing comparable job content.
Because of this em phasis on inter establishment and
interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau1s job descriptions may differ sign ifi
cantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes.
In
applying these job descriptions, the Bureau1s field representatives are instructed to exclude work
ing su pervisors, apprentices, lea rn ers, beginners, train ees, handicapped w orkers, p a rt-tim e,
tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
