INTRODUCTION .............................................
THE NEW TORE A R E A ........................................
The Secretary of Labor:
I hare the honor to transmit herewith a report on
occupational wages and related benefits in New York, N. I.,
during February 1953* Similar studies are being conducted in
a number of other large labor-market areas during the fiscal
year 1953* These studies have been designed to meet a variety
of governmental and nongovernmental uses and provide area-wide
earnings information for many occupations common to most manu
facturing and nonmanufacturing industries, as well as summaries
of selected supplementary wage benefits* Whenever possible,
separate data have been presented for individual major industry
divisions*
This report was prepared in the Bureau's regional of
fice in New York, N.Y., by Norman J* Samuels under the direction
of Paul E* Warwick, 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

The New York City area is 1 of 20 important industrial
centers in which the Bureau of Labor Statistics is currently con
ducting occupational wage surveys.
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

Wage Survey, New York, N. Y . , January 1952.

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.

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.

over 50,000, and those manufacturing

utilized about 36,000 workers.

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.

Occupational Wage Survey, New 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.
