C. - Price 15 cents July 10, 1952 Introduction 1/ The Phoenix area is 1 of UO major labor markets in which the Bureau of labor Statistics is currently conducting occupational wage surreys# Occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries were studied on a community—wide basis# Cross-industry methods of sampling were thus utilized in compiling earnings data for the following types of occupations^ (a) office; (b) professional and technical; (c) maintenance and power plant; (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping# In presenting earnings information for such jobs (tables A - l through A-4) separate data have been provided wher ever possible for individual broad industry divisions# Earnings information for those occupations character istic of particular local industries is presented in Series B tables for many labor markets included in the current series of studies# This supplemental eoverage, however, was omitted in the survey in the Phoenix area# Union scales (Series C tables) are presented in lieu of (or supplementing) occupational earn ings for several industries cr trades in which the great majori t y of the workers are employed under terms of collective-bar gaining agreements, and the contract or minimum rates are indica tive of prevailing pay practices# Data were collected and simzmarized on shift operations and differentials, hours of work, and supplementary benefits such as vacation and sick leave allowances, paid holidays, non production bonuses, and insurance and pension plans# The Phoenix Metropolitan A rea The Phoenix Metropolitan Area (Maricopa County) had a population of 332,000 in 1950# Somewhat more than two-thirds of this population lived in Phoenix# Excluding agricultural workers, wage and salary em ployees in the area in April 1952 numbered 89,200# About 1 in 6 of these was employed in manufacturing industries, chiefly in food products, printing and publishing, and the fabrication of metal products# During World War II and afterward, the area be came increasingly important in the manufacture and assembly of aircraft parts# l / Prepared in the Bureau* s regional office in San Fran cisco, Calif., b y William P# 0* Connor under the direction of John L. Dana, 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 Relations# As the largest city and capital of Arizona, Phoenix is the natural commercial and financial hub of the State# Whole sale and retail trade establishments employed 25,500 workers in early 1952 — more than a fourth of all wage and salary workers in the area# The oity*s financial institutions, including in surance carriers and real estate operators, had A,200 workers# Relatively high employment — 11,900 — in the service industries attested to the attraction of Phoenix as a resort area, particularly for the winter tourist trade# The construc tion industry employed 8,000 workers in April 1952# Combined employment of the transportation, communica tion, and other public utility industries (including railroads) was 9,600; Federal, State, and local government employees num bered 15,700# Among the industry and establishment-size groups stud ied in March 1952, about two-thirds of the plant workers were employed in establishments having written contracts with labor organizations# Almost all plant workers in the public utilities group of industries were employed under union agreement provi sions, whereas less than a third worked under similar conditions in the service industries# In manufacturing industries, 85 per cent of the plant workers were employed in establishments having union contracts# Comparatively few office workers were employed under union agreement terms# More than 70 percent of the office workers in the public utility industries were employed under union contract provisions but aside from this group and the wholesale trade group, unionization in offices was nonexistent in Phoenix# Occupational W age Structure Wages and salaries of most plant and office workers were formally adjusted upwards between January 1950, the base date of the Wage Stabilization Board *s 10-percent wage increase formula, and the time of the study# Nearly all plant workers in the manufacturing and public utility industries were employ ed in establishments that had made at least one formal wage adjustment during the period# The proportion of plant workers receiving general wage increases was somewhat less among the other industry groups studied, with only about half the workers in wholesale trade and services receiving formal Increases. Formal wage adjustments received by plant workers in the area typically amounted to from 10 to 20 cents an hour in each in dustry group# General wage increases for office workers were somewhat less extensive than those for plant workers, probably reflecting the tendency of many establishments to adjust salaries of clerical workers on an individual basis rather than by formal means# Formalized wage structures for time workers were re ported in establishments employing more than 85 percent of Phoenix plant workers# Plans that provided a single rate for individual plant occupations were more common than those pro viding a range of rates# Among office workers, two-thirds of whom were employed in establishments which had formalized salary structures, the type of structure in use almost exclusively called for a range of rates for each job# For other office workers, salaries were determined on an individual basis# Established minimum entrance rates for plant workers with no previous work experience were a part of the formalized rate structures for a large majority of Phoenix area firms# No specified rate was typical of the area as a whole; minima ranged from less than 50 cents an hour to more than $1.45. How ever, most of the workers were employed in establishments which had minimum rates from 75 cents to $1#20. Highest rates were reported in the public utilities group of industries and the lowest in retail trade and services# Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing indus tries were generally higher than those in nonmanufacturing# In 13 of 25 office job classifications permitting comparisai, sala ries of workers in manufacturing plants were higher than those in nonmanufacturing; average hourly earnings were higher in manufacturing for 13 of 19 plant job categories for which com parisons were possible# More than a fourth of the workers in manufacturing plants in the Phoenix area were employed on late shifts in early 1952# A large majority of these workers were paid shift pre miums a cents-per-hour differential over day-shift rates# The amounts most commonly reported were 4 and 5 cents for sec ond-shift work and 6 cents for third-shift work# More than scheduled to work a than half the plant than 40 hours, with 90 percent of women office workers were 40-hour week or longer in April 1952# More workers were on a workweek schedule of more a majority of these on a 48-hour schedule# A: Cross-Industry Occupations O jfoc* O ccH fuU iotU Table A-ls (Average straight-time weekly hours and earnings 2/ for selected occupations studied on an area basis in Phoenix, Aris. , by industry division, March 1952) NUMBER OF WORKERS RECEIVING STRAIGHT-TIME WEEKLY EARNINGS OF— Sex, occupation, and industry division Number of workers $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ Weekly Weekly 27.50 30.00 32.50 35.00 37.50 40.00 42.50 45.00 47.50 50.00 52.50 55.00 57.50 60.00 62.50 65.00 67.50 70.00 72.50 75.00 80.00 85.00 earnings ana hours (Standard) (Standard) under 30.00 32.50 35.00 37.50 40.00 42.50 45.00 |47.50 50.00 52.50 55.00 57.50 60.00 62.50 65.00 67.50 70.00 72.50 75.00 80.00 85.00 90.00 ■J--* -1 r -’ !

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 s (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 covered industry groupings are s manufac turing) transportation (except railroads), communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and reed 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 studied, 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 far 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 Method of Survey 15 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 oents. 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 far 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. 16 ESTABLISHMENTS AND WORKERS IN MAJOR INDUSTRY DIVISIONS IN PHOENIX, ARIZ., l/, AND NUMBER STUDIED BY THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, MARCH 1952 Item Minimum number of workers in establishments studied 2/ Num1ber of establ Lshments Estimated total within Studied scope of study Employment Estimated total within scope of study In establishments __________studied______________ Total Office Industry divisions in which occuDations were surveyed on an area basis All divisions ••••••••••.... ......... ........
