In such surveys, occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries are studied on a community-wide basis. 1/ Cross-industry methods of sampling are 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, ware housing, and shipping. In presenting earnings information for such jobs (tables A-l through A-A) separate data are provided wherever possible for individual broad industry divisions. City A r e a Occupational Nonagricultural employment in New York City was at a high level in February 1953. More than 3,500,000 workers were employed in the city's factories, stores, and offices. Manufacturing plants provided more than 1,000,000 jobs of which three-fourths were in establishments producing nondurable goods. Approximately 350,000 were employed by the apparel industries alone; the printing and publishing industry employed about 119,000 workers; and the food processing plants had 79,000 workers. Other industries which em ployed large numbers of workers were textiles with 32,000, chem icals with 3A,000, and leather with 35,000 employees. Metal fab ricating establishments accounted for more than a fourth of the 250,000 workers employed by establishments producing durable goods. Plants manufacturing electrical equipment such as radios, tele visions, switchboard apparatus, and communication equipment employed i/ W a g e Structure Area wage and salary levels were somewhat higher at the time of the current study than at the date of the Bureau's last survey (January 1952), 2 / continuing an upward trend among the rep resentative occupations studied. General wage rate changes, af fecting groups of workers rather than individuals, contributed sub stantially to this rise. Based on an analysis of the larger firms studied in the area (those employing 200 or more workers), approx imately three-fourths of the plant workers in these establishments had received one or more formal wage adjustments since the previous survey. The proportion of workers whose earnings were thus affected was slightly higher in manufacturing than in nonmanufacturing in dustries. General wage rate increases for plant workers were usually on a cents-per-hour basis, with half of these workers receiving 2/ Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin No. 1101, Occupational Wage Survey, New York, N. Y . , January 1952. See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey. nonelectrical machinery in special industry equipment, Within New York's diversified business structure, indus trial relations were generally formalized by contractual agreements between management and labor organizations. Wages were collectively bargained in firms employing more than 80 percent of the plant workers within scope of the survey. In manufacturing, 9 of 10 plant workers were employed in establishments having written agreements with unions; in nonmanufacturing, 7 of 10 were in plants with labor contracts. More than 90 percent of the plant workers in the public utilities group were employed in unionized firms, more than 75 per cent in wholesale trade and services, and 55 percent in retail trade. Labor-management agreements covering office workers were less significant, applying to only about 15 percent of the workers. However, two.-thirds of the clerical workers in the utilities divi sion, and one-third in retail trade were in establishments with contracts covering office workers. Data are collected and summarized on shift operations and differentials, hours of work, and supplementary benefits such as vacation allowances, paid holidays, and insurance and pension plans. Y o r k Y. As one of the world's foremost trading and commercial centers, New York employed over 800,000 workers in its wholesale and retail outlets, and about 335,000 in finance, insurance, and real-estate activities. Transportation, communication, and other public utilities industries had approximately 3A0,000 workers on their payrolls early in 1953® Establishments furnishing personal and technical services, and entertainment gave employment to more than 550,000 workers. Earnings information for characteristic occupations in certain more narrowly defined industries is presented in Series B tables. Union scales (Series C tables) are presented for selected occupations in several industries or trades in which the great ma jority of the workers are employed under terms of collective-bar gaining agreements, and the contract or minimun rates are believed to be indicative of prevailing practices. N e w N. over 50,000, and those manufacturing cluding paper and printing and other utilized about 36,000 workers. Introduction T h e Y O R K , 1 2 increases of from 7 to 12 cents. More than half of the office workers in the larger firms studied received formal salary adjust ments during the period, which generally ranged from $2 to $4- a week. Individual merit increases also contributed to the continued upward movement of office workers* earnings in the area* Wages of four-fifths the plant (nonoffice) workers within the scope of the survey were based on time rates* Formal ratestructure plans applied to the large majority of these workers* Plans providing a range of rates for individual occupations were somewhat more prevalent than those providing a single rate for each occupational classification. Rate-range plans were predominant for plant workers in the public utility and retail trade groups of in dustries and among central offices; single-rate plans wea» prevalent among establishments in the services industry group. Salaries of two-thirds the office workers in the area were determined on the basis of formalized pay structures. Virtually all of these plans provided for an upward movement of salaries within an established range. Salaries were determined on an individual employee basis for three-fifths the office workers in manufac turing and approximately half in wholesale trade and services. Fixed minimum hiring rates for inexperienced plant workers were part of the formalized wage structure in most New York firms. Minima below 75 cents were not reported in the manufacturing, pub lic utilities, and wholesale trade groups. Among manufacturing firms, the minima varied by size of establishment. Two-thirds of the workers in the large firms (500 or more employees) were in es tablishments with minimum entrance rates of $1 or more; in estab lishments with 101 to 500 employees, minimum rates of $1 or more prevailed in manufacturing firms employing only one-third of the workers. About B0 percent of the workers in public utilities and wholesale trade were in establishments with minimum rates of $1 or more. In retail trade and services the minima were under $1 in firms employing three-fourths of the workers* Average salaries of most office occupations studied were above $50 a week. There was little variation between averages for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Average hourly earnings for plant workers, on the other hand, were more often higher in the manufacturing industries than in nonmanufacturing. Among the 29 plant jobs for which comparisons could be made, 15 had higher hourly rates in manufacturing, 11 in nonmanufacturing, and 3 received the same average rates. The skilled maintenance jobs were typically higher in manufacturing industries; custodial, ware housing, and shipping jobs tended toward higher average hourly earnings in nonmanufacturing plants. Establishments employing nearly two-thirds of the manu facturing plant workers had provisions for the payment of lateshift work. Practically all such provisions provided a differential over the day- (first) shift rates. A slightly higher proportion of workers were in plants providing uniform cents-per-hour differ entials than those with uniform percentage differentials. The most common practice in firms with cents-per-hour additions was 5 cents for both second and third shifts. However, a significant group of workers were found to be eligible for a 10 cents-an-hour differ ential for third-shift work. At least half of the workers in firms using the percentage differential method of shift payment would receive 10 percent more than the base rate for all late-shift work, with about one-fourth of the workers entitled to 15 percent for work on the third shift* The hours of work for women office employees in New York were among the lowest of any large city in the country. Almost half of the women clerical workers were on a 35-hour workweek* Few were on schedules in excess of A0 hours a week. The 35-hour week was predominant for all industry divisions except retail trade where nearly A5 percent of the office employees worked 37£ hours. The predominant schedule for plant workers continued to be A0 hours a week. About 15 percent of the workers, however, were in establish ments which were operating on longer schedules at the time of the Bureau*s survey. 3 A« Cross-Industry Occupations Q ty icm T«u* i - i * O c Q H p a titm l (Average straight-tlae uaakly hour* and earnings }/ for selected occupations studied an < teals in Maw York, N.

Y., February 1953 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Bureau of Labor Statistics 25 Appendix - Scope and Method of Survey The Bureau's occupational wage surveys are designed to provide a wunrimnin of useful and reliable information with availa ble resources* In order to use resources efficiently and to pub lish results promptly, the surveys did not cover all establishments in the community* Although those studied are selected to provide representative results, no sample can reflect perfectly all differ ences in occupational structure, earnings, and working conditions among establishments* such jobs were included only for firms meeting the size require ments of the broad industry divisions. Because of the great variation in occupational structure Ainnng establishments, estimates of occupational employment are sub ject to considerable sampling fluctuation. Hence, they serve only to indicate the relative numerical importance of the jobs studied. The fluctuations in employment do not materially affect the accuracy of the earnings data* The earnings information excludes premium pay far overtime and night work* Nonproduction bonuses are also excluded, but costof-living bonuses and incentive earnings, including commissions for salespersons, are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerioal occupations, reference is to work schedules (rounded to the nearest half-hour) for which the straight-time sala ries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest 50 cents* The number of workers pre sented refers to the estimated total employment in all establish ments 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* With the exception of the union rate scales, information presented in this bulletin was collected by visits of the Bureau's field representatives to establishments included in the study* Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job de scriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job; these job descriptions 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 industry groupings surveyed are: Manufacturing; transportation (except railroads), communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services* Information on work schedules and supple mentary benefits also was obtained in a representative group of es tablishments in each of these industry divisions* As indicated in the following table, only establishments above a certain size were studied* Smaller establishments were omitted because they fur nished insufficient employment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion. Among the industries in which characteristic jobs were studied, minimum size of establishment and extent of the area cov ered were determined separately for each industry (see following table)* Although size limits frequently varied from those estab lished for surveying cross-industry office and plant jobs, data for A greater proportion of large than of small establishments 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 occupations* The term "office workers" referred to in this bulletin includes all office clerical employees and excludes administrative, executive, professional, and technical personnel* "Plant workers" includes working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions* Administra tive, executive, professional and technical employees, and forceaccount construction employees who are utilized as a separate work force, are excluded* Although cafeteria workers, routemen, and in stallation and repair employees are excluded in manufacturing in dustries, these work categories are included as plant workers in nonmanufacturing industries* Shift-differential data are limited to manufacturing in dustries and have been presented both in terms of establishment policy and according to provisions for workers actually employed on extra shifts at the time of the survey* Establishments were considered as having a shift-differential policy if they met any of the following conditions: Operated late shifts at the time of the survey; operated late shifts within 6 months before the field visit or had a union-contract provision for payment of extra-shift work* Proportions in the tabulation of establishment policy are presented 26 in terms of total plant employment, whereas proportions in the sec ond tabulation represent only those workers actually employed on the specified late shift. office workers of the table summarizing scheduled weekly hours. Because of eligibility requirements, the proportion actually re ceiving the specific benefits may be smaller* Information on wage practices other than shift differ entials 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 The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal ar rangements. It excludes informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the employer or other supervisor. Tabulations of insurance and pension plans have been confined to those for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the enployer.
