about h a lf o f whom were engaged in the production o f durable
goodso 2 / The machinery and transportation industries are im­
portant segments o f the durable-goods group in the Newark-Jersey
C ity area® About a f i f t h o f the workers in the nondurable-goods
group were in plants producing chemical and a llie d products*

The Newark-Jersey C ity area is 1 o f 40 major labor mar­
kets in which the Bureau o f labor S t a t is tic s is currently con­
ducting occupational wage surveys* Occupations common to a va­
r ie t y o f manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries were stud­
ied on a community-wide b a s is 0 G ross-industry methods of samp­
ling were thus u t iliz e d in compiling earnings data fo r the f o l ­
lowing types o f occupations: (a) o f f i c e ; (b) p rofession a l and
te ch n ica l; (c ) maintenance and power plan t; (d) cu sto d ia l, ware­
housing, and shipping® In presenting earnings inform ation fo r
such jobs (tables A -l through A-4) separate data have been pro­
vided wherever p ossib le fo r in dividu al broad industry d iv ision s*

The area is a lso an important commercial center®
Wholesale and r e t a i l trade establishments employed more than
115,000 workers, whereas finance, insurance, and r e a l estate
industries employed nearly 35,000* The serv ice group, includ­
ing such industries as power laundries, th eatres, h o te ls , and
la b o ra to rie s, employed more than 45,000 workers®
The area contains some o f the most important trans­
portation terminals on the Eastern Seaboard® About 60,000 work­
ers were employed by the area *s transportation and communica­
tio n f a c i l i t i e s and other public u t ilit ie s ®

Occupations c h a ra cte ris tic o f p a rticu la r, important,
lo c a l industries were studied on an industry b a s is , within the
framework o f the community survey* 2 / Earnings data fo r these
jobs have been presented in Series B tables* Union scales (Series
G ta b le s) are presented in lie u o f (or supplementing) occupa­
tio n a l earnings fo r several industries or trades in which the
great m ajority o f the workers are employed under terms o f c o l ­
lectiv e -b a rg a in in g agreements, and the contract or minimum rates
are in d ica tiv e o f prev a ilin g pay practices®

Among the industry and establishm ent-size groups with­
in scope o f the Bureau^ study, 9 o f 10 plant workers were em­
ployed in establishments having w ritten agreements with labor
organizations® The degree o f unionization varied among the in ­
dustries studied® In service industries 7 o f 10 plant workers
were in firms having w ritten agreements with labor organiza­
tio n s , whereas in r e t a i l trade, only 1 o f 3 such workers were
covered by union agreements® The highest degree o f unionization
was in durable-goods manufacturing and the pu blic u t i l i t i e s
group; in these industry groups more than 95 percent o f the
plant workers were in establishments having m io n contracts®
Unionization o f o f f i c e workers was found in establishments em­
ploying 30 percent o f the o f f i c e workers in the area® Such or­
ganization was most extensive in the public u t i l i t y in d u stries,
where fo u r -fift h s o f the workers were in establishments with
union contracts covering o f f i c e workers®

Data were c o lle c t e d and summarized on s h ift operations
and d iffe r e n t ia ls , hours o f work, and supplementary b en efits such
as vacation and sick leave allowances, paid holid ays, nonproduc—
tio n bonuses, and insurance and pension plans®

The Newark - Jersey City A re a

Occupational Wage Structure

T otal population of the Newark-Jersey Gity area (Essex,
Hudson,and Union Counties) was approximately 2,000,000 in 1951 more than tw o -fifth s o f the en tire population o f New Jersey®

Wage le v e ls in the Newark-Jersey City area were a f ­
fected by a number o f general wage increases during the period
between January 1950, the base date fo r the Wage S ta b iliz a tio n
Board*s wcatch-uptf wage formula, and November 1951, the time o f
th is survey® Such increases varied g reatly and. were more numer­
ous in the manufacturing industries® Nearly a l l manufacturing
plant employees received at le a s t one general wage increase dur­
ing th is period, the m ajority o f these increases amounting to
from 10 to 20 cents an hour*

N onagricultural wage and sa la ried workers in the area
in November 1951 (excluding government) numbered over 625,000®
Manufacturing in du stries employed more than 364,000 workers,

General wage increases for o f f i c e workers were reported
in fewer establishments but the tendency among larger companies
was to grant sim ila r increases t o both o f f i c e and plant workers*
In many sm aller establishm ents, however, formal increases fo r
o f f i c e workers lagged behind plant workers because a number o f
establishments adjusted sa la rie s o f o f f i c e workers on an in d iv id ­
ual basis rather than by general wage increaseso
Formalized wage and salary structures fo r time workers
were reported in establishments employing approximately 90 per­
cent o f plant workers and 75 percent o f o f f i c e workers© Forma­
liz e d plans providing a range o f rates fo r each job c l a s s i f i c a ­
tio n a ffe c te d somewhat more plant workers than did plans provid­
ing a sin g le rate fo r each job* S in g le-ra te plans were most
prevalent in wholesale trade and nondurable-goods manufacturing*
Most formal wage plans fo r o f f i c e workers provided a range o f
rates* Individual determination o f rates fo r plant workers was
employed to an appreciable extent only in r e t a i l trade and serv­
ices* I t was the predominant method o f s e ttin g o f f i c e workers'
sa la rie s in r e t a i l and wholesale trade and serv ice industries*
Established minimum entrance rates fo r plant workers
with no previous work experience were a part o f the form alized
rate structures o f most Newark-Jersey C ity area firms* More than
95 percent o f the workers were employed in establishments having
established minimum rates* Half the plant workers were employed
in establishments paying a minimum rate o f more than $1*10* The
minimum standard fo r nine-tenths o f the plant workers in large
nondurable-goods establishments (employing 1,000 or more workers)
ranged from $1*15 to $1*70. In r e t a i l tra de, over a th ird o f the
workers and in se rv ice s more than h a lf the workers were employed
in establishments with minimum rates o f 75 cents or less* A
minimum entrance rate o f more than $1*20 was reported fo r h a lf
the plant workers in the pu blic u t i l i t i e s group*




Only a few firms among those v is it e d established rates
o f pay fo r supervisors according to a fix e d re la tion sh ip to the
pay o f workers supervised* Such plans reported in durable-goods
manufacturing generally provided fo r 7 t o 15 cents d iffe r e n t ia l
fo r leadmen, although in cases where the d iffe r e n t ia l was ex­
pressed in percentage terms, the percentages were 10 to 25 per­
cent above the rates paid to workers supervised* In nondurable
manufacturing, the lowest d iffe r e n t ia l reported fo r supervisors
was 10 percent above the rates paid to the workers supervised*
Wages and sa la rie s o f workers in manufacturing indus­
tr ie s were generally higher than those in nonmanufacturing* In
26 o f the 29 o f f i c e jobs perm itting comparison, average sa la ries
in manufacturing plants exceeded those in nonmanufacturing es­
tablishments • In 13 o f these jobs the d ifferen ces ranged be­
tween $2 and $4*50 a week* Where comparison was p o s sib le , av­
erage hourly earnings fo r plant workers studied on a communitywide basis were highest in manufacturing in 14 o f the 2U occu­
pations* However, s p e c ific industry branches con tributing to
the general nonmanufacturing average had an average rate in s one
instances exceeding that fo r the manufacturing group in the same
plant or o f f i c e category* In 25 o f 29 instances where compari­
son was p o s sib le , workers in nondurable-goods manufacturing av­
eraged more an hour than workers in sim ila r employment in dur­
able-goods manufacturing* The higher averages found in the non­
durable-goods group r e fle c t e d the tr a d itio n a lly higher pay
le v e ls in industries such as chemicals and petroleum refin in g *
More than a six th o f a l l plant workers in manufactur­
ing establishments were working on la te s h ift s in November 1951®
V irtu a lly a l l such workers were paid a d iffe r e n t ia l over day( f i r s t ) s h i f t rates which, in somewhat more than h a lf the cases,
was in the form o f a cents-per-hour premium* The premium rang­
ed from 5 to 10 cents on the second s h i f t and 10 cents or more
on the th ird s h ift* The most common percentage premium paid to
second- or t h ir d -s h ift workers was 10 percent*

Occupational Wage Survey, Newark-Jersey City, N. J., November 1951
Bureau of Labor Statistics

31

Appendix — Scope

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 i (a) office
clerical, (b) professional and technical, (o) maintenance and
power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables
A-l through A-4). The covered industry groupings are i 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
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 fol­
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




id 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 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
all 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 establishments 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 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 it is paid for by employers*
Health insurance is included, however, under tabulation for in­
surance and pension plans*
