The Rochester area is 1 o f 4-0 major labor markets in
which the Bureau o f Labor S ta tis tic s is currently conducting
occupational wage surreys • Occupations, common to a v ariety o f
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing in d u stries, were studied on
a community-wide basis* Cross-industry methods o f sampling were
thus u t iliz e d in compiling earnings data for the follow ing types
o f occupations*
(a) o f f i c e ; (b) p rofessional and tech n ica l;
(c) maintenance and power plant; (d) cu stod ial, warehousing,
and shipping. In presenting earnings information fo r such jobs
(tables A -l through A-4) separate data have been provided wher­
ever possib le fo r individual broad industry divisions*
Occupations ch a ra cte ristic o f p a rticu la r, important,
lo c a l industries were studied on an industry b a sis, 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 C tables) are presented in lie u o f (or supplementing)
occupational earnings fo r several industries or trades in which
a great m ajority o f the workers are employed under terms o f
collectiv e-b a rga in in g agreements, and the contract or minimum
rates are in dicative o f prevailing pay practices*
Data were co lle cte d and summarized on s h ift operations
and d iffe r e n t ia ls , hours o f work, and supplementary ben efits
such as vacation and sick leave allowances, paid holidays, non­
production bonuses, and insurance and pension plans*

A re a

The population o f the Rochester Metropolitan Area
(Monroe County) was approximately 4-87,000 in 1951* About th reefourths o f th is to ta l liv ed in Rochester, third largest c ity in
New York State.
Nonagricultural wage and salary workers in the area
in January 1952 numbered more than 220,000 (excluding govern­
ment). Of th is number, more than 106,000 were employed in manu­
fa ctu rin g .
1 / Prepared in the Bureaufs region al o f f i c e in New York,
N. Y ., by Donald Blackmore and Theodore A llison under the d i­
re ctio n o f Frederick W* M ueller, Regional Wage and Industrial
Relations Analyst. The planning and central d irection o f the
program was carried on in the Bureau*s D ivision o f Wages and
Industrial Relations*
2 / See appendix fo r discussion of scope and method o f survey.




Rochester is noted fo r the production o f photographic
supplies and o p tica l goods.
These Industries employ more than
30 percent o f the t o t a l manufacturing work fo rce .
The needle
trades employ approximately 8 percent o f the manufacturing
workers in the c i t y .
More than 16,000 employees were engaged
in the manufacture o f e le c t r ic a l and n on electrica l machinery in
January 1952.
Almost h a lf the employees in nonmanufacturing
industries within the scope o f the survey were employed in re­
t a i l stores.

O c c u p a tio n a l

W a g e

S tru ctu re

Extensive formal wage adjustments were madety Roches­
ter establishments during the period between January 1950, the
base period fo r the Wage S ta b iliza tion Board*s 10-percent
**catch-up" wage increase formula, and the time o f the study.
About 70 percent o f the plant and o f f i c e workers in the in­
dustries and establishm ent-size groups studied were employed in
establishments that granted at lea st one general wage increase
during the 2-year period. These increases were r e la tiv e ly much
more numerous a fte r the outbreak o f h o s t i l it i e s in Korea than
during the preceding 6 months. Only a few o f the establishments
studied had p etition s pending before the Wage S ta b iliza tion
Board fo r general wage increases.
Formalized rate structures for time-rated workers were
reported in establishments employing three-fourths of the o f fic e
workers and nearly nine-tenths o f the plant workers in the
Rochester area. Plans providing rate ranges far individual occu­
pations were more prevalent them those providing single ra tes.
Single-rate structures were v irtu a lly nonexistent fo r o f f i c e
workers and applied to only one-eighth o f the plant workers.
Individual determination o f salary rates fo r o f f i c e workers pre­
vailed in the services and trades industries but was not common
in other industry groups.
Established minimum entrance rates fo r inexperienced
plant workers were part o f the wage structure o f Rochester firms
employing 90 percent o f a l l plant workers.
More than a third
o f the workers were employed in establishments paying a minimum
o f over $1.15 an hour.
Entrance rates in excess o f $1.15 were
found prim arily in the manufacturing and public u t i l i t i e s in­
du stries.
In wholesale trade, more than 60 percent o f the
workers were employed in establishments with minimum rates o f
75 cents or le s s .
Nonproduction bonuses were prevalent in Rochester and
formed a s ig n ifica n t part o f the rate structure in the c it y .
More than two-thirds o f the o f f i c e workers and h a lf the plant
workers were in establishments paying such bonuses. P ro fit­

2

sharing bonuses were found most frequently in manufacturing in­
dustries ; the predominant type o f bonus among nonmanufacturing
industries was the Christmas or year-end bonus*
The general
practice in Rochester o f paying nonproduction bonuses was not
follow ed by establishments in the pu blic u t i l i t i e s in du stries;
about 95 percent o f the workers in th is industry group were em­
ployed in firms with no bonus plans*

About 80 percent o f the plant and o f f i c e workers were
scheduled to work a 40-hour week in January 1952*
Scheduled
40-hour workweeks were prevalent in each o f the industry groups
studied with the exception o f the finance, insurance, and re a l
estate group where schedules o f le s s than 40 hours prevailed*
Substantial numbers o f plant and o f f i c e workers in the servioes
and trades industries were scheduled to work in excess o f 40
hours a week*

Almost 10 percent o f the establishments studied main­
tained a fixed rela tion sh ip between supervisors1 pay and the
rate o f pay o f those supervised*
Uiese d iffe r e n tia ls were ex­
pressed eith er as cents-per-hour or percentage additions to the
highest rate o f those supervised*

T ypically, o f f i c e workers in manufacturing in du stries,
public u t i l i t i e s , and fin a n cia l in stitu tio n s received 2 weeks'
paid vacation a fte r 1 year o f service and 3 weeks a fte r 15 years*
The predominant vacation pattern fo r o f f i c e workers in trade and
service establishments was 1 week a fte r 1 y e a r's serv ice and 2
weeks a fte r 2 years* V irtu a lly a l l plant workers were employed
by firms granting at le a st 1 week's paid vacation a fte r 1 y e a r's
service and 2 weeks a fte r 5 years*

Wages and sa la ries o f workers in manufacturing in­
dustries were generally higher than those o f comparable workers
in nonmanufacturing* In 23 o f 26 o f f i c e occupations permitting
comparison, sa la ries o f workers in manufacturing firms were
higher*
Average hourly earnings fo r cu stodial and material
handling jobs were con sisten tly higher a lso in manufacturing
than in nonmanufacturing*




A large number o f Rochester workers were employed in
firms providing insurance or pension plans, paid at least in part
by the employers*
These plans were e sp e cia lly prevalent among
the public u t i l i t i e s and finance industries where v ir tu a lly a l l
workers received these benefits*

upon req u est.
S ix broad indu stry d iv isio n s were covered in com piling
earnings data fo r the fo llo w in g types o f oooupations: (a ) o ffic e
c le r ic a l, (b ) p ro fe ssio n a l and te c h n ic a l, (c ) maintenance and
power p la n t, and (d) cu sto d ia l, warehousing, and shipping (tables
A -l through A -A ). The covered in d u stry groupings are t manufac­

other p u b lic u t i l i t i e s ; w holesale tr a d e ; r e t a i l tra d e ; fin a n ce ,
insu rance, and reed e s t a te ; and s e r v ic e s . Inform ation on work
schedules and supplementary b e n e fits a ls o was obtained in a rep­

d iv is io n s . As in d ica ted in the fo llo w in g ta b le only e s ta b lis h ­

were om itted because th ey fu rn ish ed in s u ffic ie n t employment in

Among the in d u stries in which c h a r a c te r is tic job s were
s tr d ie d , minimum s iz e o f establishm ent and ex ten t o f the area
covered were determined sep a ra tely fo r each indu stry (see f o l ­
low ing t a b le ) .
Although s iz e lim its freq u en tly varied from
those e sta b lish e d fo r surveying cro ss-in d u stry o ffic e and p lan t
jo b s , data fa r th ese job s were included only fo r firm s m eeting
the s iz e requirem ents o f the broad indu stry d iv is io n s .
A greater proportion o f la rg e than o f sm a ll e s ta b lis h ­

surveyed w ith a v a ila b le re so u rc e s. Each group o f establishm ents

proper weight ia the

The earnings inform ation excludes premium pay for over­

but c o s t -o f -liv in g bonuses and in cen tiv e ea rn in gs, includin g
commissions fo r sa le sp e rso n s, are in clu d ed . Where weekly hours
are reported as for o ffic e c le r ic a l, th ey r e fe r to the work sched­

pations have been rounded to the n earest 50 c e n ts . The number
o f workers presented r e fe r s to the estim ated t o t a l employment in

number a c tu a lly surveyed.
Data are shown fo r on ly fu ll-tim e

The summary o f vacation and
s ic k leave plans is lim ite d to form al arrangem ents. I t excludes
inform al plans whereby tim e o f f w ith pay i s granted a t the d is ­
cretio n o f the employer or other su p e rv iso r. S ick lea ve plans
are fu rth er lim ite d to those providing f u l l pay fo r a t le a s t
some amount o f tim e o f f w ithout any p ro visio n fo r a w aitin g
period preceding the payment o f b e n e fits . These plans a ls o ex­
clude h ea lth insurance even though i t i s paid fo r by em ployers.
