In such su rveys, occupations common to a v a rie ty o f manufacturing and non m anufacturing in d u str ie s are stud ied on a community-wide b a s is . 1 / C ross-in du stry methods o f sampling are thus u tiliz e d in com piling earnings data fo r the fo llo w in g types of occupations: (a ) o ffic e ; (b) p r o fe ssio n a l and te c h n ic a l; (c ) maintenance and power p lan t; and (d) c u sto d ia l, w arehousing, and shipping. In presen tin g earn ings inform ation fo r such jobs (ta b les A -l through A 4 ) , separate data are provided wherever p o ssib le fo r in d ivid u al broad industry d iv is io n s . Earnings inform ation fo r ch a r a c teristic occupations in cer ta in more narrowly d efin ed in d u stries is presented in S eries B ta b le s . Union s c a le s (S e r ie s C ta b le s) are presented fo r se le c te d occupations in se v e r a l in d u stries or trades in which the great ma jo r ity o f the workers are employed under terms of c o lle c tiv e -b a r gain in g agreem ents, and th e contract or minimum ra tes are b e liev ed to be in d ic a tiv e o f p r ev a ilin g pay p r a c tic e s. Data are c o lle c te d and summarized on s h ift operations and d if f e r e n t ia ls , hours o f work, and supplementary b e n e fits such as va ca tio n a llow an ces, paid h o lid a y s, and insurance and pension p la n s. The Newark-Jersey City Area The Newark-Jersey C ity area (E ssex, Hudson, and Union C ounties) has about 2 ,0 0 0 ,0 0 0 population and i s the most important cen ter o f commerce and in d u stry in New Jersey. There was a moderate labor surplus in the area a t the tim e o f th e Bureau’s survey, although o v e r a ll employment has r is e n gradu a lly in recen t y ea rs. N onagricultu ral wage and sa la ried workers (exclu d in g co n stru ctio n and government) in November 1952 numbered approxim ately 650,000. T h r e e -fifth s of th ese were employed in manu fa ctu rin g in d u s tr ie s . The a r e a ’s fa c to r ie s produce a large v a r ie ty o f hard and s o ft goods. Most important in terms o f employment are the metalworking in d u str ie s which had more than 1 5 0 ,0 0 0 people on 1 / See appendix fo r d iscu ssio n o f scope and method of survey. D ifferen ces between th e scope of th is survey and the la s t previous survey (November 1951) are in d icated in the appendix ta b le . NEWARK-JERSEY CITY, N. J th e ir p a y r o lls. O il r e fin e r ie s and in d u str ia l chem ical plants em ployed more than 50,000 workers. The food and beverage in d u stries, marked by the recen t com pletion o f a large new brewery, employed alm ost 30,000 workers. The garment trades provided work for nearly ^0,000 peop le. The importance of the area as a commercial and transpor ta tio n center i s in d icated by th e fa c t th a t approxim ately 120,000 workers were occupied in w holesale and r e t a il trade a c t iv it ie s , and approxim ately 35,000 workers were engaged in fin a n ce, insurance, and r e a l e s ta te o f f ic e s . The a rea 's tran sp ortation (excluding r a i l ro a d s), communication, and other p u blic u t i l i t i e s employed more than 6 0 ,0 0 0 workers. With resp ect to p lan t (n o n o ffice) workers, labor-manage ment r e la tio n s o f firm s w ith in the scope o f th e Bureau's study were la r g e ly form alized by w ritten co lle ctiv e-b a rg a in in g agreements. In manufacturing in d u str ie s, 9 o f 10 plant workers were in e s ta b lish ments which had w ritten agreements w ith labor unions. A sig n ific a n t portion o f th is u n ion iza tio n was found in such in d u stries as auto m otive equipment, fa b rica ted m etal products, e le c tr ic a l equipment and m achinery, in d u str ia l ch em icals, petroleum r e f in in g and apparel. In nonmanufacturing, the h ig h est degree of u n ion iza tio n was found in public u t i l i t i e s where 9 of 10 p la n t workers were employed in firm s th a t had labor co n tra cts. This compared w ith k o f 5 in whole sa le trade and 1 o f 3 in r e t a il estab lish m en ts. U nionization among o ffic e workers was most h eavily con centrated in u t i l i t i e s where 9 o f 10 workers were in establishm ents w ith union con tracts covering o ffic e workers; in manufacturing the r a tio was 1 o f On an a ll-in d u s tr y b a s is , approxim ately a th ird of the o ffic e workers in the area were covered by union-contract p ro v isio n s. Occupational Wage Structure Wage and sa la ry le v e ls in the area had increased sin ce the date of the Bureau's la s t survey (November 1951), r e fle c tin g in part the in flu en ce o f across-the-board in cre a ses. Based on an a n a ly sis of firm s in the area employing 200 or more workers, fo r which gen e r a l wage change data were c o lle c te d , form al wage adjustments fo r plant workers were most freq u en tly made on a cents-per-hour b a s is , and ty p ic a lly ranged from 3 to 8 cen ts. Among o ffic e workers, gen e r a l in creases most commonly ranged from $1 to $3 a week. Form alized wage plans for tim e-rated p lant workers were in e ffe c t fo r establish m en ts employing 90 percent of the plant workers. Plans providing a range of ra tes fo r in d iv id u a l occupations were 2 somewhat more common than single-rate structures, particularly in manufacturing and utilities. In wholesale trade, however, the sin gle-rate system was almost twice as prevalent as rate-range plans. Eighty percent of the area’s office workers within the scope of the study were employed In establishments with formal salary structures, almost all of which were on a rate-range basis. Salaries for the remaining 20 percent were individually determined. Virtually all Newark-Jersey City employers within the scope of the survey had formally established minimum entrance rates covering inexperienced persons. Half the workers were employed in establishments having minimum entrance rates of $1 . 1 5 o t more an hour. Among manufacturing establishments, larger plants (employing 1,000 or more workers) tended to have higher minimums than smaller plants. Half the workers in the larger firms were employed in es tablishments having minimum rates of $1^20 or more, compared with $1.10 or more in smaller plants. Minimums below $1 were rare in large plants, but were recorded in plants employing more than a third of the workers in smaller factories. Among public utilities, minimum rates in establishments employing nearly half the workers were closely grouped between $1.20 and $1.25. Forty percent of the employees in retail trade were in establishments having minimum en trance rates of 75 cents an hour. Average weekly salaries of the 22 women’s office occupa tions studied ranged from $^0 for office girls to $66 for secretar ies. In 1^ occupations, however, average salaries were concentrated in the narrow range of $50 to $55 a week. Wide ranges of straighttime average hourly earnings for men plant workers were found among maintenance, power plant, shipping, and warehousing occupations. At or near the top brackets were the maintenance crafts. In this group, average earnings ranged from $1.99 for painters to $2 .2 7 for pipefitters. Within the top group of hourly rates, there were also such occupations as tool-and-die makers, stationary engineers, and maintenance machinists. Average hourly earnings for oilers, powertruck operators, plant guards, shipping clerks, and material-han dling laborers were clustered between $1.60 and $1.75* Below this group in average hourly earnings were the custodial occupations, including watchmen at $1.30 and men janitors at $1.39* The prevailing paid vacation practice for plant workers was 1 week after 1 year, 2 weeks after 5 years, and 3 weeks after 15 years of service. Among office workers, general practice was 2 weeks after 1 year and 3 weeks after 15 years of service. Less than 20 percent of the plant personnel in manufac turing were working on extra shifts at the time of the Bureau’s sur vey. The great majority of the establishments, however, had provi sions covering the payment of extra shift work and these almost in variably provided for some form of pay differential over day rates; frequently, a fixed percentage. For both second and third shifts, 10 percent was most commonly reported. A substantial number of workers also were employed in establishments having provisions for the addition of a cents-per-hour differential to the base rate of employees working on late shifts. For second-shift work, these dif ferentials were most commonly 5 cents, although 10-cent differen tials were frequently reported. For third-shift work, there was a strong concentration at 10 cents an hour. 3 A : Cross-Industry Table A-l: Occupations Office OcCMfuUiOHA (Average straight-time weekly hours and earnings l/ for selected occupations studied on an area basis in Nevark-Jersey City, N.

Occupational Wage Survey, Newark-Jereey C ity , N. J . , November 1952 * * F in an ce, in su ran ce, and r e a l e s t a t e . U .S. DEPARTMENT CF LABOR Bureau o f Labor S t a t i s t i c s 19 Appendix - Scope and Method of Survey The Bureau's occupational wage surveys are designed to provide a maximum 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. Because of the great variation in occupational structure among 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. 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-U). 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 furnished 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 such jobs were included only for firms meeting ments of the broad industry divisions. the size require 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 earnings information excludes premium pay for 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 clerical 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. 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 20 in te rn s o f t o t a l p la n t employment, w hereas p ro p o rtio n s in th e sec ond ta b u la tio n re p re s e n t o n ly th o se w orkers a c tu a lly employed on th e s p e c ifie d l a t e s h ift* o ffic e w orkers o f th e ta b le sum m arizing scheduled w eekly h o u rs.
