C. - Price 15 cents April 23, 1952 Introduction / 1 The New Orleans Area is 1 of 4-0 major labor markets in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics is currently conducting occupational wage surveys. Occupations that are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries were studied on a community-wide basis. Cross-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; (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 individual broad industry divi sions. Occupations that are characteristic of particular, im portant, local industries were studied on an industry basis, with in the framework of the community survey. 2/ Earnings data for these jobs have been presented in Series B tables. Union scales (Series C tables) are presented in lieu of (or supplementing) 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 New Or leans Metropolitan A rea The New Orleans Metropolitan Area (Jefferson, Orleans, and St. Bernard Parishes) had a total population of 681,000v persons in 1950. Of these, approximately 83 percent resided within the city limits of New Orleans. 1/ Prepared in the Bureau’s regional office in Atlanta, Ga., by Louis B. Woytych, under the direction of Harry H. Hall, Re gional 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. 2/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey. Advantageously located at the mouth of the Mississippi River, New Orleans is a leading domestic and foreign trading and distribution center. The Port of New Orleans ranks second in the United States in dollar volume. Eighty steamship lines operate to and from foreign and coastal ports and 4-0 barge lines connect New Orleans with river cities in the vast Mississippi River Basin. Nine major railroads, 6 domestic and 3 interna tional airlines, and 75 trucking systems serve the city’s many distributing and manufacturing establishments. The Bureau’s estimate of the annual budget for a New Orleans worker’s family was $3*4-53 during October 1950, the lowest annual cost among the 34- large cities surveyed in the United States. The budget is described as providing a "modest but adequate" level of living for an urban worker’s family of four persons— an employed father, a housewife not gainfully em ployed, and two children under 15 years of age. Between Novem ber 1950 and November 1951, consumers’ prices in New Orleans rose approximately 5.5 percent. Nonagricultural wage and salary workers (excluding government) in the New Orleans Metropolitan Area totaled 286,500 during December 1951. It is estimated that the 290 manufactur ing firms within scope of the Bureau’s survey provided employ ment for about 44-,200 persons. 2/ The area’s dominant manufac turing industries in terms of number of persons employed, are food, textiles and textile products, transportation equipment, and metal products and machinery. The importance of New Orleans as a distribution center is emphasized by the fact that over a third of all employees in nonmanufacturing establishments, employing 21 or more persons, were in transportation, communication, or other public utility companies. About 16,000 persons were employed in wholesale trade establishments and 26,000 were on the payrolls of various retail trade companies. An additional 6,000 were employed by finance, insurance, and real estate firms, and a labor force of 9,4-00 was required by the various service establishments. Among the industries and establishment-size groups studied by the Bureau, about a fifth of the workers in nonoffice jobs were employed in establishments having written agreements with labor organizations. The public utilities group was the most highly unionized of all industry groups studied; 95 per cent of the nonoffice workers were employed in union establish ments. Although more than half the manufacturing plant workers jl/ These and following estimates exclude small establish ments not included in the study; see appendix table for minimum size of establishment studied in individual industry divisions. 2 were employed under the provisions of union contracts, the ex tent of unionization in the other industry groups was substan tially lower* The proportion of office workers employed under union contract provisions was considerably less than for plant workers* Less than a tenth of the office workers were employed in establishments with labor-management agreements covering office employees. were on the payrolls of companies whose minimum rates ranged from over 75 cents to and including $1 an hour, whereas over a fifth of the workers were in firms with minimum wages of over $i. No formal entrance rates below 75 cents were reported by wholesale trade establishments, and only a small percentage of the manufacturing and public utilities plant workers were employ ed in establishments having minimum entrance rates below 75 cents* Retail trade and service companies generally had lower entrance rates than establishments in oth£r industry groups* Occupational Wage Structure Wages of manufacturing industry workers were generally higher than in nonmanufacturing* In 20 of 22 comparable job classifications, weekly salaries of office workers in manufac turing companies averaged $1 to $10 higher than in nonmanufac turing* Average hourly earnings for 13 of 18 plant occupations in manufacturing firms ranged from 4 to 37 cents higher. Earnings of a substantial number of plant and office workers in the New Orleans Area were affected by general wage increases between January 1950 - the base period for the Wage Stabilization Boards 10 percent ncatch-upw wage increase for mula - and December 1951* These formal wage advances were much more numerous after the outbreak of hostilities in Korea than during the preceding 6 months* After June 1950, about threefourths of the manufacturing plant workers and half of the of fice employees received general wage increases* Approximately three-fifths of the plant workers in the public utilities and finance groups and two-fifths of those in the wholesale trade and service industries received formal wage adjustments during the period* General wage increases were least frequent for workers employed in retail trade establishments with only a fifth of the plant workers and substantially fewer office workers receiving formal pay raises* Virtually all plant workers were employed in estab lishments having established minimum entrance rates for inex perienced workers* Plants employing over a third of the work ers in all industries had established minimum hourly entrance rates of 75 cents* More than a sixth of all plant employees In December 1951, over 15 percent of the plant workers employed by manufacturing plants in the New Orleans Area worked the second shift, and about 5 percent were employed on the third shift. About 85 percent of these extra-shift workers were paid a shift differential. Workers employed on second shifts usually were paid a 5-cent differential; third-shift workers generally received 6 cents. At the time of the survey, the scheduled workweek was 40 hours for over two-thirds of the women office workers and more than seven-tenths of the plant workers in all industries* Schedules of 40 hours were common in all broad industry groups studied. Virtually all office employees and about 65 percent of the plant workers in the New Orleans Area received at least four paid holidays a year. Six holidays were most common, being granted to nearly 40 percent of all workers. Finance, insurance and real estate companies, as a group, granted more paid holi days than other industries, providing nearly a third of their employees with 12 days a year* 3, A: Cross-Industry Occupations O j^ C C e Table A-ls 0 c C 4 4 fu U lO 4 > tl (Average straight-time weekly hours and earnings 1 / for selected occupations studied on an area basis in Mew Orleans, La., b y industry division, December 1951) N U M B E R O F W O R K E R S R E C E IV IN G S T R A IG H T -T IM E W E E K L Y Av e r a g e Sex, occupation, and industry division N um ber of W e e k ly h o u rs (S ta n d a r d ) W e e k ly e a r n in g s (S ta n d a r d ) $ ayvl 25.00 27.50 30.00 32.50 35.00 37.50 5o.oo 52.50 55.00 57.50 50.00 52.50 55.00 57.50 60.00 62.50 65.00 70.00 75.00 80.00 85.00 90.00 over | Men Bookkeepers, h a n d ......................

Appendix Scope ai With the exception of the union scale of rates, in formation presented in this bulletin was collected by visits 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: (a) office clerical, (b) professional and technical, (c) maintenance and power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables A-l through A-A)* The covered industry groupings a r e : manufac turing; transportation (except railroads), communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail 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 divisionso 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 fol lowing table)* Although size limits frequently varied from those established for surveying or os a-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 Method of Survey 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 fluid night work* Nonproduotion 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 necurest 50 cents* The number of workers presented refers'to the estimated total employment in all establishments within the soope of the study and not to the number actually surveyed* Data are shown far 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 all office and plant workers as specified in the individual tables* It is presented in terms of the proportion of all 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 eli gibility 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 full pay for at lesuit 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 it is paid for by employers* Health insurance is included, however, under tabulation for in surance fluid pension plans* ESTABLISHMENTS AND WORKERS IN MAJOR INDUSTRY DIVISIONS AND IN SELECTED INDUSTRIES IN NEW ORLEANS, LA., 1/ AND NUMBER STUDIED BY THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, DECEMBER 1951 Item Minimum number of workers in establishments studied 2/ Number of e stabllshments Estimated total Studied within scope of study Employment Estimated total within scope of study In establishments studied Total Office Industry divisions in which occupations were surveyed on an area basis All divisions ............................ ......
