Introduction This a rea is one of se v e ra l im portant industrial cen ters in which the U.S« Departm ent o f L a b o r 's Bureau of L abor S tatistics has conducted su rveys o f occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areawide b a s is . In this area, data w ere obtained by personal visits o f Bureau fie ld econ om ists to representative establishm ents within six broad industry d iv ision s: M anufacturing; tra n sp o rta tio n ,1 com m unication, and other public u tilities; w holesale trade; retail trade; finan ce, in su ran ce, and re a l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor in dustry groups excluded fr o m these studies are governm ent operations and the con stru ction and extractive in d u stries. E stablishm ents having few er than a p r e s c r ib e d num ber o f w ork ers are om itted a lso because they furnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w a r rant in clu sion . W herever p o ssib le , separate tabulations are provided fo r each o f the broad industry d iv ision s. T hese su rveys are conducted on a sam ple basis because o f the u n n ecessary c o s t involved in surveying a ll esta b lish m en ts. To obtain appropriate a ccu ra cy at m inim um c o s t, a g rea ter p rop ortion o f large than of sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data, how ever, all establishm ents are given their appropriate weight. E stim ates based on the establishm ents studied are presented, th e re fo re , as r e lating to all establishm ents in the industry grouping and area, e x cep t fo r those below the minim um size studied. Occupations and E arnings The occupations se le cte d fo r study are com m on to a variety o f m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in d u stries. O ccupational c la s sifica tion is based on a u niform set o f jo b d escrip tion s designed to take account o f interestablishm ent variation in duties within the sam e jo b . (See appendix fo r listing o f these d e s crip tio n s.) Earnings data are presented (in the A -s e r ie s tables) fo r the follow ing types o f o ccu p a tions: (a) O ffice c le r ic a l; (b) p ro fe ssio n a l and tech n ical; (c) m ainte nance and powerplant; and (d) cu stodial and m aterial m ovem ent. O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r fu ll-tim e w o rk e rs, i. e . , those h ired to w ork a regu lar weekly sch ed ule in the given occupational c la s s ific a tio n . E arnings data exclude prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on weekends, h olidays, and 1 R ailroa d s, fo r m e r ly excluded fr o m the scop e o f these studies, w ere included in all o f the areas studied sin ce July 1959, except B altim ore, B uffalo, Cleveland, and Seattle. R ailroads are now in cluded in the scop e o f all la b o r-m a rk e t wage su rveys. late sh ifts. N onproduction bonuses are excluded a lso , but c o s t - o f living bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are rep orted , as fo r o ffice c le r ic a l occu p ation s, referen ce is to the w ork schedules (rounded to the n ea rest half hour) fo r which straight-tim e sa la ries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the n earest half d olla r. A verage earnings of men and wom en are presented separately fo r selected occupations in which both sexes are com m only em ployed. D ifferen ces in pay le v e ls o f men and wom en in these occupations are la rg ely due to (1) d ifferen ces in the distribution of the sexes among industries and establishm ents; (2) d ifferen ces in sp e cific duties p e r fo rm ed , although the occupations are appropriately cla s s ifie d within the same survey job d escrip tion ; and (3) d ifferen ces in length of s e r v ice or m e rit review when individual sa la ries are adjusted on this basis. L onger average s e r v ic e o f m en would resu lt in higher average pay when both sexes are em ployed within the same rate range. Job d escrip tion s used in cla ssify in g em ployees in these su rveys are usu ally m ore gen era lized than those used in individual establishm ents to allow fo r m inor d iffe ren ces among establishm ents in sp e cific duties p erform ed . O ccupational employment estim ates rep resen t the total in all establishm ents within the scope o f the study and not the num ber actu ally su rveyed. B ecause of d ifferen ces in occupational structure among establishm ents, the estim ates of occupational em ploym ent obtained fro m the sam ple o f establishm ents studied serv e only to indicate the relative im portance o f the job s studied. These d ifferen ces in o c c u pational structure do not m aterially affect the accu ra cy of the ea rn ings data. Establishm ent P r a c tic e s and Supplem entary Wage P rov ision s Inform ation is presented also (in the B -s e r ie s tables) on s e lected establishm ent p ra ctices and supplem entary benefits as they r e late to o ffic e and plant w ork ers. The term "o ffite w ork ers, " as used in this bulletin, includes working su p erv isors and n onsupervisory w ork ers p erform in g c le r ic a l o r related functions, and excludes adm in istra tiv e , execu tive, and p rofession a l person n el. "Plant w o rk e rs " in clude working forem en and all n on su p ervisory w ork ers (including le a d men and tra in ees) engaged in nonoffice functions. A dm in istrative, execu tive, and p rofession a l em p loyees, and fo rc e -a c c o u n t con stru ction em p loyees who are utilized as a separate w ork fo r c e are excluded. C afeteria w ork ers and routem en are excluded in m anufacturing indus tries, but are included as plant w ork ers in nonmanufacturing industries. 2 Table 1.

The "w orkers within scope of study" e sti m ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estim ates are not intended, how ever, to serve as a basis of com parison with other area employment indexes to m easure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of e s tablishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishm ents by industry division. M ajor changes from the earlier edition (used in the Bureau's labor market wage surveys conducted prior to July 1958) are the transfer of m ilk pasteurization plants and ready-m ixed concrete establish ments from trade (wholesale or retail) to manufacturing, and the transfer of radio and television broadcasting from services to the transportation, communication, and other public utilities division. 3 Includes all establishm ents with total employment at or above the m in im u m -size limitation. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, f i nance, auto repair service , and m otion-picture theaters are considered as 1 establishm ent. 4 Includes executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate office and plant categories. 5 Taxicabs and service s incidental to water transportation were excluded. 4 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a ll in du stries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the s eries A and B tables. Separate presentation of data for this divi sion is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sam ple was not d e signed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) reponse was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, (4) there is possibility of disclosu re of individual establishm ent data. 7 H otels; personal serv ice s; business se rv ice s; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations; and engineering and architectural s erv ice s. 3 Shift differen tial data (table B - l ) are lim ited to manufacturing in d u stries. This inform ation is presented both in term s o f (a) esta b lishm ent p o lic y ,2 presented in term s o f total plant w orker em p lo y m ent, and (b) e ffectiv e p r a ctice , presented on the b a sis o f w ork ers actually em ployed on the sp e cifie d shift at the time o f the su rvey. In establishm ents having va ried d ifferen tia ls, the amount applying to a m ajority was used o r , if no amount applied to a m a jo rity , the c la s sification "o th e r" was used. In establishm ents in which som e la te shift hours are paid at n orm al ra te s, a differen tial was re co rd e d only if it applied to a m a jority o f the shift h ours. Minimum entrance rates (table B -2 ) relate only to the esta b lishm ents v isited . They are presen ted on an establishm ent, rather than on an em ploym ent b a s is . P aid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated sta tistica lly on the b asis that these are applicable to all plant o r o ffice w ork ers if a m a jo rity of such w ork ers are elig ib le o r m ay eventually qualify fo r the p ra ctices lis te d . Scheduled hours are treated sta tistica lly on the ba sis that these are applicable to all plant o r o ffic e w ork ers if a m a jority are c o v e r e d .3 B ecause o f rounding, sums o f individual item s in these tabulations m ay not equal tota ls. The fir s t part o f the paid holidays table presents the num b e r o f whole and half holidays actually provided. The secon d part com bin es whole and half holidays to show total holiday tim e . Data are presen ted fo r a ll health, insurance, and pension plans fo r which at lea st a part o f the c o s t is borne by the em p loyer, excepting only leg a l requirem ents such as w orkm en's com pensation, s o c ia l secu rity , and ra ilroa d retirem en t. Such plans include those underw ritten by a c o m m e rcia l insurance com pany and those p rovided through a union fund o r paid d irectly by the em ployer out of current operating funds o r fr o m a fund set aside fo r this pu rp ose. Death benefits are included as a fo rm o f life insurance. Sickness and accident insurance is limited- to that type o f in surance under which predeterm ined cash payments are made d irectly to the insured on a w eekly o r monthly ba sis during illn ess o r accident d isability. Inform ation is presen ted fo r all such plans to which the em p loyer con tribu tes. H ow ever, in New Y ork and New J e rse y , which have enacted tem porary d isability insurance laws which requ ire e m p loyer c o n trib u tio n s,4 plans are included only if the em p loyer (1) co n tributes m ore than is lega lly requ ired , o r (2) p rovides the em ployee with benefits which e x ceed the requirem ents of the law. Tabulations o f paid sic k -le a v e plans are lim ited to form a l plans 5 which provide full pay o r a p roportion o f the w o rk e r's pay during absence fro m w ork because o f illn e s s . Separate tabulations are provided a ccord in g to (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period , and (2) plans providing either partial pay o r a waiting p eriod . In addition to the presentation o f the proportions o f w ork ers who are provided sick n ess and acciden t insurance or paid sick lea v e, an unduplicated total is shown of w ork ers who receiv e either o r both types o f ben efits. The sum m ary o f vacation plans is lim ited to fo rm a l a rra n g e m ents, excluding in form al plans w hereby time o ff with pay is granted at the d iscre tio n o f the em p lo y e r. Separate estim ates are provided a ccord in g to em p loyer p ra ctice in com puting vacation paym ents, such as time paym ents, percent o f annual earnings, o r fla t-su m amounts. H ow ever, in the tabulations o f vacation allow an ces, payments not on a tim e b a sis w ere con verted ; fo r exam ple, a payment o f 2 percen t o f annual earnings was co n sid e re d as the equivalent o f 1 w e e k 's pay. Catastrophe in su ran ce, som etim es r e fe r r e d to as, extended m ed ica l insurance, includes those plans which are designed to p rotect em ployees in ca se o f sick n ess and in ju ry involving expen ses beyond the n orm al cov e ra g e o f h ospitalization, m ed ica l, and su rgica l plans. M edical insurance r e fe r s to plans providing fo r com plete or partial payment o f d o c to r s ' fe e s . Such plans m ay be underw ritten by c o m m e r cia l insurance com panies o r nonprofit organizations o r they m ay be s e lf-in su re d . Tabulations o f retirem en t pension plans are lim ited to those plans that provide monthly payments fo r the rem ainder o f the w o r k e r 's life . 2 An establishm ent was co n sid e re d as having a p olicy if it m et either o f the follow ing conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the time o f the su rvey, o r (2) had fo rm a l p rov ision s cov erin g late sh ifts. 3 Scheduled weekly hours fo r o ffic e w ork ers (fir s t section o f table B -3 ) in su rveys m ade p r io r to July 1957 w ere p resen ted in term s o f the p rop ortion o f wom en o ffic e w ork ers em ployed in o ffic e s with the indicated weekly hours fo r wom en w o rk e rs. 4 The tem porary d isability laws in C a liforn ia and Rhode Island do not requ ire em p loyer con tribu tion s. 5 An establishm ent was con sid ered as having a form a l plan if it establish ed at lea st the m inim um num ber o f days o f sick leave that could be expected by each em p loyee.
