Introduction This area is one of sev era l im portant industrial cen ters in which the U .S . D epartm ent of L ab or’ s Bureau of Labor S ta tistics has conducted su rveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areaw ide b a sis. In this area, data w ere obtained by personal v isits of Bureau field econ om ists 1 to rep resen tative estab lish m en ts within six broad industry d ivision s: M anufacturing; transportation, com m unication, and other public u tilities; w h olesale trade; reta il trade; finance, insu ran ce, and real estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor in dustry groups excluded from these studies are governm ent operations and the construction and extractive in d u stries. E stab lish m en ts having few er than a p rescrib ed num ber of w orkers are om itted also because they furnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w ar rant in clu sion . W herever p o ssib le, separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry d iv isio n s. T hese su rveys are conducted on a sam ple b a sis because of the u n n ecessary c o st involved in surveying all esta b lish m en ts. To obtain appropriate accuracy at m inim um co st, a greater proportion of large than of sm all estab lish m en ts is studied. In com bining the data, how ever, all estab lish m en ts are given their appropriate w eight. E stim a tes b ased on the estab lish m en ts studied are presen ted , th erefore, as r e lating to all estab lish m en ts in the industry grouping and area, e x cept for those below the m inim um siz e studied. O ccupations and E arnings The occupations selec te d for study are com m on to a variety of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in d u stries. O ccupational c la s sification is based on a uniform se t of job descrip tion s designed to take account of in terestab lish m en t variation in duties within the sam e job. (See appendix for listin g of th ese descriptions. ) E arnings data are p resen ted (in the A -s e r ie s tab les) for the follow ing types of occupa tions: (a) O ffice c le rica l; (b) p ro fession a l and technical; (c) m ain te nance and power plant; and (d) cu stod ial and m aterial m ovem ent. 1 Data w ere obtained by m ail from som e of the sm a ller e s tablishm ents for which v is its by B ureau field econ om ists in the la st previous su rvey indicated em ploym ent in rela tiv ely few of the o ccu pations studied. Unusual changes reported by m ail w ere verified with em p lo y ers. R ailroads, fo rm erly excluded from the scop e of th ese stu d ies, have been added in nearly a ll of the areas to be studied during the w inter of 1959*60; railroad s w ill be added in the rem aining areas next y ea r. F or scope of su rvey in this area, see footnote to "transporta tion, com m unication, and other public u tilities" in table 1. O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w o rk ers, i. e. , those h ired to work a regular w eekly sch ed ule in the given occupational c la ssifica tio n . E arnings data exclude prem ium pay for overtim e and for work on w eeken ds, h olid ays, and late sh ifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded a lso , but c o st-o fliving bonuses and incentive earnings are included. W here w eekly hours are reported, as for office c le r ic a l occu p ation s, referen ce is to the work sch ed u les (rounded to the n ea rest half hour) for which straigh t-tim e sa la rie s are paid; average w eekly earn in gs for th ese occupations have been rounded to the n ea rest half d ollar. A verage earnings of m en and wom en are p resen ted sep arately for selec te d occupations in which both sex es are com m only em ployed. D ifferen ces in pay le v e ls of m en and wom en in th ese occupations are la rg ely due to (1) d ifferen ces in the distrib u tion of the sex es am ong in d u stries and estab lish m en ts; (2) d ifferen ces in sp ecific duties p er form ed, although the occupations are appropriately c la ss ifie d within the sam e survey job description; and (3) d ifferen ces in length of se r v ice or m erit review when individual sa la rie s are adjusted on this b asis. Longer average serv ic e of m en would resu lt in higher average pay when both sex es are em ployed w ithin the sam e rate range. Job d escrip tion s used in cla ssify in g em p loyees in th ese su rveys are u su ally m ore gen eralized than those used in individual estab lish m en ts to allow for m inor d ifferen ces am ong estab lish m en ts in sp ecific duties perform ed. O ccupational em ploym ent estim a tes rep resen t the total in all estab lish m en ts w ithin the scop e of the study and not the num ber actu ally su rveyed . B ecau se of d ifferen ces in occupational stru ctu re am ong esta b lish m en ts, the estim a tes of occupational em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple of estab lish m en ts studied serv e only to indicate the relative im portance of the jobs studied. T h ese d ifferen ces in o ccu pational structure do not m ateria lly affect the accu racy of the ea rn ings data. E stab lish m en t P r a c tic e s and Supplem entary Wage P ro v isio n s Inform ation is p resen ted also (in the B -s e r ie s tab les) on s e lected estab lish m en t p ra ctices and supplem entary b en efits as they r e late to office and plant w o rk ers. The term "office w o rk ers, " as used in this bulletin, inclu des working su p erv iso rs and n on su p ervisory w orkers perform ing c le r ic a l or related functions, and exclu d es adm in istr a tiv e, ex ecu tive, and p ro fession a l p erson n el. "Plant w ork ers" in clude working forem en and all n on su p ervisory w orkers (including lea d m en and tra in ees) engaged in nonoffice fu n ction s. A d m in istrative, ex ecu tive, and p ro fession a l em p lo y ees, and force -account con stru ction em p loyees who are u tilized as a sep arate work force are exclu d ed . C afeteria w orkers and routem en are excluded in m anufacturing in d u s tries, but are included as plant w orkers in nonm anufacturing in d u stries. 2 Shift differential data (table B - l) are lim ited to m anufacturing in d u stries. This inform ation is p resented both in term s of (a) esta b lish m en t p o lic y ,3 presen ted in term s of total plant worker em p loy m ent, and (b) effective p ra ctice, p resented on the b a sis of w orkers actually em ployed on the sp ecified shift at the tim e of the su rvey. In estab lish m en ts having varied d ifferen tia ls, the amount applying to a m ajority was used or, if no am ount applied to a m ajority, the c la s sification "other11 was u sed . In estab lish m en ts in which som e late^ sh ift hours are paid at norm al ra te s, a differential was record ed only if it applied to a m ajority of the shift hours. The sum m ary of vacation plans is lim ited to form al arran ge m en ts, excluding inform al plans w hereby tim e off with pay is granted at the d iscretio n of the em p loyer. Separate estim a tes are provided according to em ployer p ractice in com puting vacation paym ents, such as tim e paym ents, percent of annual earn in gs, or fla t-su m am ounts. H ow ever, in the tabulations of vacation allow an ces, paym ents not on a tim e b a sis w ere converted; for exam ple, a paym ent of 2 percen t of annual earnings was con sid ered as the equivalent of 1 week* s pay. Data are presen ted for all health , in su ran ce, and pension plans for which at le a st a part of the c o st is borne by the em p loyer, excepting only leg al req u irem en ts such as w ork m en 's com p ensation and so cia l secu rity . Such plans include those underw ritten by a co m m er cia l insurance com pany and those provided through a union fund or paid d irectly by the em p loyer out of cu rren t operating funds or from a fund se t asid e for this p u rp ose. Death b en efits are included as a form of life in su ran ce. S ick n ess and accid en t insuran ce is lim ited to that type of in surance under which predeterm ined ca sh paym ents are m ade d irectly to the insured on a w eekly or m onthly b a sis during illn e ss or accident d isab ility. Inform ation is p resen ted for all such plans to which the em ployer con trib u tes. H ow ever, in New York and New J e r se y , which have enacted tem porary d isab ility insurance law s which require e m ployer co n trib u tio n s,5 plans are included only if the em ployer (l) con tributes m ore than is leg a lly required, or (2) provides the em ployee with ben efits which ex ceed the req u irem en ts of the law . Tabulations of paid sic k -le a v e plans are lim ited to form al plans 5 which provide full .pay or a proportion of the w ork er's pay during absence from work b ecau se of illn e s s . Separate tabulations are provided according to (1) plans w hich provide fu ll pay and no w aiting period, and (2) plans providing eith er partial pay or a w aiting period. In addition to the p resentation of the proportions of w orkers who are provided Sick n ess and accident insurance or paid sick lea v e, an unduplicated total is shown of w orkers who re ceiv e eith er or both types of b en efits. C atastrophe in su ran ce, som etim es referred to as extended m ed ical in su ran ce, inclu d es those plans which are d esigned to protect em p loyees in ca se of sick n ess and injury involving ex p en ses beyond the norm al coverage of h osp italization , m ed ical, and su rg ica l plans. M edical insuran ce re fe rs to plans providing for com p lete or partial paym ent of d octors' fe e s . Such plans m ay be underw ritten by co m m er cia l insuran ce com panies or nonprofit organizations or they m ay be se lf-in su r e d . Tabulations of retirem en t pension plans are lim ited to those plans that provide m onthly paym ents for the rem ainder of the w o rk er 's life . 3 An estab lish m en t w as co n sid ered as having a policy if it m et eith er of the follow ing conditions: (1) O perated late sh ifts at the tim e of the su rvey, or (2) had form al p rovision s coverin g late sh ifts. 4 Scheduled w eekly hours for office w orkers (fir st sectio n of table B -3 ) in su rveys m ade prior to late 1957 and ea rly 1958 w ere p resen ted in term s of the proportion of wom en office w orkers em ployed in offices with the indicated w eekly hours for w om en w o rk ers. 5 The tem porary d isab ility law s in C aliforn ia and Rhode Island do not require em ployer con trib u tion s. 5 An estab lish m en t was con sid ered as having a form al plan if it estab lish ed at le a st the m inim um num ber of days of sick leave that could be expected by each em p lo yee. Such a plan need not be w ritten , but inform al sic k -le a v e allow an ces, determ ined on an individual b a sis, w ere excluded. M inim um entrance rates (table B -2 ) relate only to the esta b lish m en ts v isited . T hey are presen ted on an estab lish m en t, rather than on an em ploym ent b a sis. P aid holidays; paid vacations; and health, in suran ce, and pension plans are treated sta tistica lly on the b a sis that these are applicable to all plant or office w orkers if a m a jority of such w orkers are elig ib le or m ay eventually qualify for the p ra ctices liste d . Scheduled hours are treated sta tistica lly on the b a sis that these are applicable to all plant or office w orkers if a m ajority are c o v e r e d .4 B ecau se of rounding, sum s of individual item s in these tabulations m ay not equal to ta ls.

F or office c le r ic a l w orkers and industrial n u r se s, the indexes relate to average w eekly sa la rie s for norm al hours of w ork, that is , the standard work schedule for which straigh t-tim e sa la rie s are paid. F or plant w orker groups, they m easu re changes in stra ig h t-tim e hourly earn in gs, excluding prem ium pay for overtim e and for work on w eek ends, holid ays, and late sh ifts. The* indexes are based on data for selected key occupations and include m ost of the n u m erically im portant jobs w ithin each group. The office c le r ic a l data are based on w om en in the follow ing 18 jobs: B ille r s, m achine (billing m achine); bookkeepingm achine op erators, cla ss A and B; C om ptom eter operators; c le rk s, file , cla ss A and B; c le rk s, order; c le rk s, payroll; keypunch operators; office girls; se c r eta ries; sten ograp h ers, general; switchboard opera tors; switchboard o p e ra to r-r ecep tio n ists; tabulating-m achine operators; tran scrib in g-m ach in e op erators, general; and ty p ists, cla ss A and B. The industrial nurse data are based on wom en industrial n u r se s. Men in the follow ing 10 sk illed m aintenance jobs and 3 unskilled jobs w ere included in the plant w orker data: Skilled— carpenters; electricia n s; m ach in ists; m ech a n ics; m ech a n ics, autom otive; m illw righ ts; painters; p ip efitters; sh eet-m eta l w orkers; and tool and die m akers; unskilled—ja n itors, p o rters, and clean ers; la b o rers, m aterial handling; and w atchm en. A verage w eekly sa la rie s or average hourly earnings w ere computed for each of the selected occupations. The average sa la ries or hourly earnings w ere then m ultiplied by the average of 1953 and 1954 em ploym ent in the job. T hese w eighted earnings for individual occupations w ere then totaled to obtain an aggregate for each occupa tional group. F in ally, the ratio of th ese group aggregates for a given year to the a gg reg atefor the b ase period (su rvey m onth, w inter 1952-53) w as computed and the re su lt m ultiplied by the b ase year index (100) to get the index for the given year. A djustm ents have been m ade w h ere n e c e ssa r y to m aintain com parability. F or exam p le, in m ost of the areas su rveyed , railroad s w ere included in the coverage of the su rveys for the fir s t tim e this year. In com puting the in d exes, data relatin g to the railroad industry w ere excluded. The indexes m ea su re, p rin cip ally, the effects of (l) gen eral sa la ry and w age changes; (2) m erit or other in cr ea ses in pay received by individual w orkers w h ile in the sam e job; and (3) changes in the labor force such as labor turnover, fo rce exp an sion s, fo rce red u c tion s, and changes in the proportion of w ork ers em ployed by esta b lish m en ts w ith different pay le v e ls. Changes in the labor force can cause in cr ea ses or d ec rea se s in the occupational averag es without actual w age changes. F or exam ple, a force expansion m ight in crea se the proportion of low er paid w ork ers in a. sp ecific occupation and r e sult in a drop in the a verag e, w h ereas a reduction in the proportion of low er paid w orkers would have the opposite effect. The m ovem ent of a high-paying estab lish m en t out of an area could cause the average earnings to drop, even though no change in rates occurred in other area estab lish m en ts. The u se of constant em ploym ent w eights elim in ates the effects of changes in the proportion of w ork ers rep resen ted in each job in cluded in the data.
