Introduction This area is one of several important industrial centers in which the U. S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Liabor Statistics has conducted surveys of-occupational earnings and related wage bene fit^ on an areawide basis. In this area, data were obtained by per sonal visits of Bureau field agents 1 to representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation (excluding railroads), communication, and other public utilities; whole sale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and serv ices. Major industry groups excluded from these studies, besides railroads, are government operations and the construction and ex tractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted also because they furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion. 2 Wher ever possible, separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishments. To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of small establishments is studied. In combining the data, how ever, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. Estimates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as re lating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area, ex cept for those below the minimum size studied. Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupational clas sification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of inter establishment variation in duties within the same job. (See appendix for listing of these descriptions. ) Earnings data are presented (in the A -series tables) for the following types of oc cupations: (a) Office clerical; (b) professional and technical; (c) main tenance and powerplant; and (d) custodial and material movement. 1 Data were obtained by mail from some of the smaller estab lishments for which visits by Bureau field agents in the last previous survey indicated employment in relatively few of the occupations stud ied. Unusual changes reported by mail were verified with employers. 2 See table on page 2 for minimum-size establishment covered. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time workers, i. e . , those hired to work a regular weekly sched ule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded also, but cost-ofliving bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is to the work schedules (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which straight-time salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest hali dollar. Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the numbed actu ally surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure among establishments, the estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occu pational structure do not materially affect the accuracy of the earn ings data. Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions Information is presented also (in the B -series tables) on se lected establishment practices and supplementary benefits as they re late to office and plant workers. The term “office workers, “ as used in this bulletin, includes working supervisors and nonsupervisory workers performing clerical or related, functions, and ex cludes administrative, executive, and professional personnel. “Plant workers" include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Ad ministrative, executive, and professional employees, and force-account construction employees who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded. Cafeteria workers and routemen are excluded in manufac turing industries, but are included as plant workers in nonmanufac turing industries. Shift differential data (table B - l ) are limited to manufacturing industries. This information is presented both in terms of (a) estab lishment policy, 2 presented in terms of total plant worker employ ment, and (b) effective practice, presented on the basis of workers 3 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the following conditions: (l) Operated late shifts at the time of the survey, or (2 ) had formal provisions covering late shifts. 2 actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a majority was used or, if no amount applied to a majority, the clas sification "other" was used. In establishments in which some lateshift hours are paid at normal rates, a differential was recorded only .if it applied to a majority of the shift hours. Minimum entrance rates (table B -2) relate only to the estab lishments visited. They are presented on an establishment, rather than on an employment basis. Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated statistically on the basis that these are applicable to all plant or office workers if a majority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the practices listed.' Scheduled hours are treated statistically on the basis that these are applicable to all plant or office workers if a majority are covered. 4 Because of rounding, sums of individ ual items in these tabulations do not necessarily equal totals. The first part of the paid holidays table presents the num ber of whole and half holidays actually provided. The second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday time. The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal arrange ments, excluding informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the employer. Separate estimates are provided according to employer practice in computing vacation payments, such as time payments, percent of annual earnings, or flat-sum amounts. However, in the tabulations of vacation allowances, payments not on a time basis were converted; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was* considered as the equivalent oi 1 week*s pay. Data are presented for all health, insurance, and pension plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer, excepting only legal requirements such as workmen^ compensation and social security. Such plans include those underwritten by a com 4 Scheduled weekly hours for office workers (first section of mercial insurance company and those provided through a union fund or table B -3 ) in surveys made prior to late 1957 and early 1958 were paid directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from presented in terms of the proportion of women office workers em a fund set aside for this purpose.

Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes. However, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted temporary disability insurance laws which require em ployer contributions,9 plans are included only if the employer (1) con tributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of paid sick-leave plans are limited to formal plans 9 which provide full pay or a proportion of the worker’ s pay during absence from work because of illness. Separate tabulations are provided according to (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans providing either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presentation of the proportions of workers who are provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of workers who receive either or both types of benefits. Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as extended medical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect employees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyoix? the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans 5 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partia do not require employer contributions. payment of doctors* fees.
