C* 2/ See appendix for discussion of scope and method of survey* f The Seattle Metropolitan A rea The population of the Seattle Metropolitan Area (King County) was estimated at 740,000 in 1951* About two-thirds of the population lived in Seattle* Wage and salary workers in the area in September 1951 (excluding those in agricultural pursuits) numbered 272,000; and one of every 10 of these was employed in the manufacture of air craft* Other manufacturing industries accounted for 36,000, mainly in food processing (9,000), fabricated metals (8,000), and logging and limber products (7,700)* As a leading West Coast port city, however, economic activities in Seattle are largely based on commerce* The city is the hub of a trading area that extends inland throughout most of the Northwest United States and Western Canada, and seaward to Alaska and the farflung lands of the Pacific* In late 1951, wholesale and retail trade establishments provided employment for 68,000* Financial institutions including insurance carriers and real estate operators had 15,000 workers, and another 32,0 0 0 were employed in the service industries* The combined employment of the communication, public utilities, and transportation industries, including railroads, was 29,000* In the construction industry, there were 15,000 workers, and in government— Federal, State, and local— 38,000 were employed, with a large majority of these at the huge Puget Sound Naval Yard at nearby Bremerton* Long known as an area characterized by the predomi nance of union labor, it is not surprising that Seattle had few nonunion plant workers in September 1951* Among the industryand establishment-size groups surveyed, 97 of every 100 workers in nonoffice jobs were employed in establishments having writ ten agreements with labor organizations* Collective bargaining is largely of the multi-employer, industry-wide, master-agree ment type* Notable examples of labor-management relations on this scale are in food processing, lumbering and metalworking in manufacturing; and in retail trade and the maritime industry in nonmanufacturing* 2 Among office workers, the ratio employed tinder union contract provisions was 1 in every 4* Although this proportion is considerably less than that for unionized plant workers, it is relatively high for office workers generally. In retail trade, three-quarters of the office workers were employed under terms of collective bargaining agreements, and in the public utilities group, two-thirds were in unionized offices* Occupational W age Structure Wages and salaries for nearly all office and plant workers were formally adjusted upward between January 1950 and September 1951# General increases in the 6-month period immed iately preceding hostilities in Korea affected few workers, but subsequent revisions were widespread* In general, the pattern of adjustments was in keeping with the allowable limits pre scribed by the Wage Stabilization Board, particularly during the period beginning with the January 26, 1951, wage "freeze •" Formalized rate structures were established for almost all Seattle plant workers* For about three-quarters of the workers, these structures set forth a single rate for each occu pational classification. Among office workers, on the other hand, nearly one-half were employed in establishments that de termined salaries on an individual basis* For other office workers, plans providing a range of rates for each job classifi cation clearly were in the majority* Seattle is generally recognized as an area with rela tively high wage scales* In September 1951, the average hourly earnings for production workers in all manufacturing industries was #1*87* High level pay is further indicated in established minimum entrance rates for plant workers with no previous work experience* Such minima were a part of formalized rate struc tures in all but a negligible number of Seattle firms* Fully 80 percent of the workers were employed In establishments having minima of $1 an hour or more; more than half were in establish ments which paid $1*25 an hour or more* Highest minimum en trance rates were found in manufacturing industries and lowest in the service industry group* 2/ Wages and salaries of workers in manufacturing indus tries were generally higher than those of workers innonmanufacturing* In 23 of 25 office job classifications permitting com parison, salaries of workers in manufacturing plants averaged $1 to $10.50 more a week. Average hourly earning’ for plant s jobs studied in all industries were higher in manufacturing for 16 of 21 job categories for which comparisons were possible* About a fourth of the workers in Seattle area manu facturing plants were employed on late shifts in September 1951* Almost all of these workers were paid shift premiums— typically a cents-per-hour differential over dayshift rates* The amount most commonly reported was 10 cents for both second- and thirdshift work* More than 85 percent of women office workers and a like proportion of plant workers In Seattle were scheduled to work a 40-hour week in September 1951* Chief variants from this schedule were found in the service industries where the 37^-hour week was established for a third of the women office workers 0 2 / This earnings figure which was derived from the Bureau *s employment and payrolls program includes premium pay for over time and night work* 3 A: Cross-Industry Occupations 0 c C 4 4 fu U iO 4 tl Table A-l: (Average straight-time weekly ho^rs and earnings 1/ for selected occupations studied on an area basis in Seattle, Wash., by industry division, September 1951) Number o f wres okr Sex, occupation, and industry division A vebagi $ s $ 32.50 35.Oo|37.50 42.50 W ekly Weekly e e r i g and anns hus or ( t n a d ( t n a d under Sadr) Sadr) 32.50 35.00 37.50 40.00 42.50 45.00 30.00 40.00 Men 20 40.0 20 40.0 Billers, machine (billing machine) .....

The covered industry groupings are: 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 in the study. 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 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 M e th o d o f S u rv e y 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 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 workez*s 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 t 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* . 22 , ESTABLISHMENTS AND WORKERS IN MAJOR INDUSTRY DIVISIONS AND IN SELECTED INDUSTRIES IN SEATTLE, WASH., 1/ AND NUMBER STUDIED BY THE BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS, SEPTEMBER 1951 Minimum number of workers in establi shments studied 2/ Item Number of establishinents Estimated total Studied within scope of study Employment Estimated total within scope of study In establishments studied Total Office 147,500 64,200 83,300 89,160 * 43,300 45,860 16,980 5,720 11,260 Industry divisions in which occupations were surveyed on an area basis All divisions......................................
