82d Congress, 2d Session

Introduction 1/
The Minneapolis-St. Paul area is 1 of 40 major labor
markets in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics is currently
conducting occupational wage surveys* Occupations that are com­
mon to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing indus­
tries were studied on a community-wide basis*
Gross-industry
methods of sampling were thus utilized in compiling earnings
data for the following types of occupations: (a) office; (b)
professional and technical; (c) maintenance and power plant;
and (d) custodial! warehousing! and shipping• In presenting
earnings information for such jobs (tables A-l through A-4)
separate data have been provided wherever possible for indivi­
dual broad industry divisions* 2/
Occupations that are characteristic of particular,
important, local industries were studied on an industry basis,
within the framework of the community survey* Earnings data
for these jobs have been presented in Series B tables*
Union
scales (Series C tables) are presented in lieu of (or supple­
menting ) 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 indicative of prevailing pay practices*
Data were collected and summarized 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 Minneapolis - St. Paul
Metropolitan Area
The Minneapolis-St* Paul Metropolitan Area (Anoka,
Dakota, Hennepin, and Ramsey Counties) had an estimated popu­
lation of 1,112,800 in 1950*
It was, thus, the Nation1s thir­
teenth largest metropolitan area* About three-fourths of the
residents lived in Minneapolis or St* Paul* During the 1940
decade the population of the four-county area increased 18 per­
cent* During the same period, the population of Minneapolis
increased 6 percent and St* Paul, 8 percent*

1/ Prepared in the Bureau*s regional pffice in Chicago, 111*,
by Woodrow C* Linn, under the direction of George E* Votava,
Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst*
The planning
and central direction of the program was carried on in the
Bureau*s Division of Wages and Industrial Relations in Washing­
ton, D* C*
2/ The construction and extractive industries and government
institutions were excluded from the study; see appendix for dis­
cussion of scope and method of survey*



House Document 428

Wage and salary workers in industry* commerce* and
government in Minneapolis and St. Paul numbered approximately
406,400 in November 1951* An estimated 114,000 workers were em­
ployed in manufacturing plants*
Slightly more than a fifth of
a ll factory workers were employed in the machinery industry
which produced, such items as agricultural machinery and equip­
ment, construction equipment, pumps, refrigeration
air
conditioning equipment, and outboard motors.
Other leading
manufacturing industries included fabricated metal products;
food and kindred products; paper, printing and publishing; tex­
tile s and apparel; and lumber and finished lumber products*
Located in the heart of the upper-midwestern agricul­
tural region, the twin-cities area is also an important commer­
cia l, financial, and distribution center as indicated by the
large number of workers employed in these a ctivitie s. Wholesale
and re ta il trade provided employment for 113,300 workers, and
another 35,600 were employed by the various branches pf the
transportation industry, including railroads*
Nearly 26,000
persons were employed in finance, insurance and real estate es­
tablishments at the time of the survey*

Building construction, although starting to show a
seasonal decline in November, provided jobs for 23,o6o workers*
The service industries employed 44,000 persons in such diverse
fields as automobile and other repair shops, laundries and
cleaning establishments, hotels, theaters, radio and television
stations, and business service establishments* Federal, State,
and local government agencies reported employment of nearly
40,000 workers in the twin-cities area* Employment in public
u tilitie s totaled 11,000 in November.

Occupational Wage Structure
Wages and salaries of workers in the Minneapolis-St*
Paul Metropolitan Area were affected by numerous formal wage
increases between January 1950 - the base period for the Wage
Stabilization! Board*s 10 percent ncatch-upn wage increase for­
mula - and the time of the study.
These increases were much
more numerous after the outbreak of h o stilities in Korea than
during the preceding 6 months. Nearly a ll the establishments
studied had adjusted wage levels of plant workers at least once
during the 22 months preceding the survey*
The total amounts
of these general wage increases varied greatly among establish­
ments, ranging from less than 5 cents an hour to more than 25
cents. About two-fifths of the manufacturing plant workers had
received hourly pay raises totaling 20 cents or more since
January 1950. Wage-rate increases were somewhat smaller for
workers in nonmanufacturing establishments*

2

Formal revisions of office workers* salaries were not
as prevalent as were general increases for plant workers* The
tendency among several of the larger companies was to grant
similar wage increases to both plant and office workers* Gen­
eral wage increases of office workers lagged behind those grant­
ed to plant workers in other establishments, however , partly be­
cause of the practice of adjusting salaries of office workers
on an individual basis*

Nearly 85 percent of the plant workers employed in
the industries and establishment-size groups studied in the
four-county area were employed in establishments having union
agreements* About 9 of every 10 factory workers in manufac­
turing establishments were employed in union plants* In non­
manufacturing industries, the proportion of nonoffice workers
covered by union agreements ranged from less than 45 percent in
financial institutions to virtually 100 percent in the trans­
portation (except railroads)#communication and public u tilitie s
group* Union contracts covered about four-fifths of the non­
office workers in wholesale trade and the services industry,
and approximately two-thirds in re ta il trade*
Unionization was far less extensive among office
workers*
Less than 10 percent of a l l office employees in the
twin-cities area were employed under union agreement provisions*
Only in the public u tilitie s group of industries was there any
appreciable degree of unionization among office workersj about
half the office workers in this industry group were employed
in establishments having union contract provisions covering of­
fice workers*
Wage rates for time-rated plant workers in a substan­
t ia l majority of the establishments studied were patterned on
the basis of formal wage structures • Plans providing a single
rate for each time-rated job classification affected somewhat
more plant workers than those specifying a range of rates for
each job* Among the industry groups studied, single-rate plans
were typical of nondurable goods manufacturing ^/, wholesale
trade, finance, and services* Rate range plans were more common
in the durable goods, public u tilitie s , and re ta il trade groups*

J/ See appendix table far listin g of durable- and nondurablegoods industries.




Virtually a ll formal wage plans reported for office
occupations provided a range of salaries* Few office workers
tfere paid salaries based on single-rate plans, and nearly45
percent were in establishments that determined salaries on an
individual bas i s •
Piece-rate or bonus incentive payment plans covered
about 15 percent of the plant workers in both durable and non­
durable goods manufacturing establishments in the twin-cities
area. They were either nonexistent or relatively insignificant
among nonmanufacturing industries*

Established minimum entrance rates for hiring inex­
perienced plant workers were part of the formalized wage struc­
tures in a substantial majority of the firms studied* Entrance
rates ranged frcm less than 75 cents to more than $1*50 an hour*
A $1 or higher minimum was reported by establishments giving
employment to more than a half of a l l plant workers.
Four-fifths of a ll women office workers were scheduled
to work a 40-hour week in November 1951* Schedules of 40 hours
were common for office workers in a ll industry groups except
finance, insurance, and real estate*
Over two-fifths of the
workers in these offices were scheduled to work less than 40
hours*
More than 70 percent of a l l plant workers were working
a regularly scheduled 40-hour week0 Virtually a ll of the re­
maining workers were scheduled to work more than 40 hours.
A fifth of the factory workers in manufacturing plants
in. the twin-cities area were employed on second and third shifts
in November* Almost a ll of these workers were paid shift d if­
ferentials* In the nondurable-goods industries shift differen­
t i a l payments were usually expressed in cents-per-hour additions
to day rates* In durable-goods plants, about the same number of
workers were paid percentage differentials over day sh ift rates
as were paid cents-per-hour differentials*
Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing estab­
lishments were generally higher than those in nonmanufacturing.
In 25 of 34 office classifications permitting comparison, aver­
age salaries in manufacturing industries exceeded those in non­
manufacturing* Average wage rates for plant jobs studied in a ll
industries were higher in manufacturing plants for 20 of 27 job
categories for which comparisons were possible*

Occupational Wage Survey, Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn., November 1951
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Bureau of Labor Statistics

Appendix —Scope id Method of Survey
With the exception of the union scale of rates, in­
formation presented in this bulletin was collected by v is its 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 2 (a) office
cle rica l, (b) professional and technical, (0 ) maintenance and
power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables
A-1 through A-4). The covered industry groupings are; manufac­
turing; transportation (except railroads), communication, and
other public u tilitie s ; wholesale trade; r e ta il 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
strdied, minimum size of establishment and extent of the area
covered were determined separately for each industry (see fo l­
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




of a certain size, however, was 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. Nonproduction bonuses are also excluded,
but cost-of-living bonuses and incentive earnings, including
commissions for salespersons, are included. Where weekly hours
are reported as for office clerical, they refer to the work sched­
ules (rounded to the nearest half-hour) for which the straighttime salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occu­
pations have been rounded to the nearest 50 cents. The number
of workers presented refers to the estimated total employment in
a l l establishments within the scope 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 on wage practices refers to a ll office
and plant workers as specified in the individual tables. It is
presented in terms of the proportion of a ll workers employed in
offices (or plant departments) that observe the practice in
question, except in the section relating to women office workers
of the table summarizing scheduled weekly hours. Because of e l i ­
g ib ility requirements, the proportion actually receiving the
specific benefits may be smaller. The summary of vacation and
sick leave plans is limited to formal arrangements. It excludes
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 fu ll 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 i t is paid for by employers.
Health insurance is included, however, under tabulation for in­
surance and pension plans.
