The San Franc is co-Oakland Area is 1 of 40 major labor
markets in which the Bureau of labor Statistics is currently
conducting occupational wage surveys.
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 wherever possible for individual broad industry divi­
sions.

Wage and salary workers (excluding those in agri­
cultural pursuits) in the Bay Area numbered approximately
1,000,000. Manufacturing establishments employed about 172,000
workers in January 1952.
Two-fifths of these were engaged in
the smelting and refining of ferrous and nonferrous metals and
the fabrication of these metals into finished products, such as
tin cans, hardware, structural steel, machinery, and transpor­
tation equipment. At the time of the survey the food industries
employed a fifth of the manufacturing workers. Other important
manufacturing industries were printing and
publishing with
16,000 workers, chemical and petroleum products with 12,000
workers each, and apparel with 7,000 workers.
The paper and
allied products, furniture and fixtures, and stone, clay, and
glass products industries, as a group, gave employment to an­
other 16,000.

Occupations characteristic of particular, important,
local industries were studied on an industry basis, within the
framework of the community survey. 2/
Earnings data for these
jobs have been presented in Series B tables.
Union scales
(Series C tables) are presented in lieu of (or supplementing)
occupational earnings for several industries or trades in which
the great majority of the workers are employed under terms of
collective bargaining agreements, and the contract or minimum
rates are indicative of prevailing pay practices.

Of the 670,000 wage and salary workers in nonmanufac­
turing industries, almost 200,000 were in wholesale and retail
trade.
The service industries gave employment to 145,000, and
a labor force of 100,000 was utilized in transportation (in­
cluding railroads), communication, and other public utilities.
Finance, insurance, and real estate establishments accounted for
52,000 workers. The building construction industry employed
57,000.

Introduction

V

Data were collected and summarized 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 San Francisco - Oakland
Metropolitan A re a
The San Francisco-Oakland Metropolitan Bay Area (Ala­
meda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Solano
Counties) had a combined population of more than 2,300,000 in
January 1952. About 800,000 lived in San Francisco and 600,000
in Oakland.

l/ Prepared in the Bureau*s regional office in San Fran­
cisco, Calif., by 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
in Washington, D. C.
2/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey.




Navy shipyards had 26,000 workers.
Other government
employment— Federal, State, and local— totaled slightly less
than 100,000.

Among the industry and establishment-size groups in­
cluded in the Bureau1s study, virtually all plant workers in
manufacturing, public utilities, and wholesale trade were in
establishments having written contracts with labor organizations.
In retail trade and the service industries, 90 percent of non­
office workers were employed under union contracts. Collective
bargaining in the area is typically of the multiemployer, indus­
try-wide, master agreement type.

Although only 15 percent of the office workers with­
in the scope of the study were employed in establishments which
had signed union agreements applying to such workers,
this
ratio was relatively high for office workers.
With the ex­
ception of the railroad industry in which all employees were
represented by unions, the public utilities group, with 60 per­
cent of office workers covered by agreements, was the highest
organized among the industry groups studied.

2.

Occupational W ag e Structure
Bay Area wages and salaries were formally adjusted
upward for $0 nercent of office workers and 60 percent of plant
workers between January 1951 , the date of the Bureau*s last
comprehensive wage study in the area, and January 1952# Formal
increases for office workers were generally $2 a week or more.
Although only half the office workers were participants in
general or across-the-board gains, many more were advanced on an
individual or informal basis. This resulted in typical average
salary increases of 3 to 5 percent for office workers. Among
plant workers, formal wage increases of 5 cents or more an hour
were common, and contributed to general gains of 5 to 8 per­
cent in average hourly earnings.
Formalized rate structures for time-rated plant workers
were almost universal in the Bay Area. Only in the service in­
dustries group, where about 10 percent of the workers were em­
ployed In establishments which set rates on an individual basis,
was there any significant variation from the widespread pattern.
The single-rate system predominated in most industry groups
with three-quarters of all plant workers employed in estab­
lishments having this rate structure plan.
The only variant
was the public utilities group.
Three-fourths of the plant
workers in this industry group were employed in establishments
which provided a range of rates for individual occupations.
Among office workers, nearly two-thirds were employed in estab­
lishments using formal structures of the rate-range type.
In
most other establishments, salaries were determined on an indi­
vidual basis.
A small number of office workers were employed
in establishments with single rates established for each office
occupational classification.




Established minimum entrance rates for inexperienced
plant workers were part of the formalized rate structures in
nearly all Bay Area establishments.
On an all-industry basis,
more than half the workers were in establishments having minimum
starting rates above $1.25 an hour. The range of minimum rates
was from under 80 cents to over $1.70, with the higher rates
generally prevailing in manufacturing and wholesale trade.
Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing indus­
tries were generally higher than those of workers in nonmanu­
facturing. In 42 of the 64 job classifications permitting com­
parison, pay rates of workers in manufacturing, both in office
and plant, averaged more than in nonmanufacturing establish­
ments.
However, among the nonmanufacturing industries workers
in the public utilities and wholesale trade groups were paid
average rates comparable to those paid to workers in manufac­
turing.
More than 20 percent of all manufacturing workers in
January 1952, were employed on late shifts.
Nearly all of
these workers received premium rates of pay. Most common secondshift differentials were 5-cents-an-hour or 10-percent additions
to day rates; third-shift workers commonly were paid hourly
shift differentials of either 6 or 10 cents.
In the machinery
industry, differentials were on a percentage basis, with the
second-shift workers receiving a 10-percent premium and the
third-shift a 15-percent premium.
About three-fourths of women office workers were on a
40-hour weekly schedule. Very few worked longer hours, but in
the finance group almost half the women worked less than 40
hours a week. The 40-hour workweek was even more common for
plant workers, more than 90 percent working those hours.

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 oooupations: (a) office
clerical, (b) professional and technical, (c) maintenance and
power plant, and (d) custodial, warehousing, and shipping (tables
A-l through A-4)* The covered Industry groupings ares 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




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 establishment's full-time
schedule for the given occupational classification*
Information on wage practices refers to all offioe
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 offioe 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*
