Occupational Wage Survey—St. Louis, Mo.-lll. Introduction This area is one o f s e v e ra l im portant industrial cen ters in which the U .S . Departm ent o f Labor*s Bureau o f L abor S tatistics has conducted su rveys o f occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areaw ide b a sis. In this area, data w ere obtained by p erson a l v isits o f Bureau fie ld econ om ists to represen tative establishm ents within six b road industry d iv ision s: M anufacturing; tra n sp o rta tio n ,1 com m unication, and other public u tilities; w holesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and rea l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor in dustry groups excluded fro m these studies are governm ent operations and the con stru ction and extractive industries. E stablishm ents having few er than a p r e s c r ib e d num ber o f w ork ers are om itted a lso becau se they furnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w a r rant in clusion. W h erever p o s s ib le , separate tabulations are p rovided fo r each o f the broad industry division s. T hese surveys are conducted on a sam ple basis b ecau se of the u nn ecessary co s t involved in surveying all establishm ents. To obtain appropriate a ccu ra cy at m inim um co s t, a g rea ter p rop ortion o f large than o f sm a ll establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data, how ev er, all establishm ents are given th eir appropriate weight. E stim ates based on the establishm ents studied are p resen ted, th e re fo re , as r e lating to all establishm ents in the industry grouping and area, e x cept fo r those below the m inim um size studied. Occupations and Earnings The occupations se le cte d fo r study are com m on to a va riety o f m anufacturing and nonmanufacturing in du stries. O ccupational c la s sifica tion is based on a uniform set o f jo b d escrip tion s designed to take account o f interestablishm ent variation in duties within the sam e jo b . (See appendix fo r listing o f these d e s c r ip tio n s .) Earnings data are p resen ted (in the A -s e r ie s tables) fo r the follow ing types o f o ccu p a tions: (a) O ffice c le r ic a l; (b) p ro fe s s io n a l and tech n ical; (c) m ainte nance and pow erplant; and (d) custodial and m a teria l m ovem ent. late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded also, but c o s t - o fliving bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are rep orted, as fo r o ffice c le r ic a l occupations, referen ce is to the w ork schedules (rounded to the n earest half hour) fo r which straigh t-tim e sa la ries are paid; average weekly earnings fo r these occupations have been rounded to the n earest half dollar. A verage earnings of men and women are presented separately fo r selected occupations in which both sexes are com m only em ployed. D ifferen ces in pay lev els of men and women in these occupations are la rg ely due to (1) d ifferen ces in the distribution o f the sexes among industries and establishm ents; (2) d ifferen ces in s p e cific duties p e r form ed, although the occupations are appropriately cla ssified within the sam e su rvey jo b d escrip tion ; and (3) d ifferen ces in length of s e r v ic e o r m erit review when individual sa la ries are adjusted on this b a sis. Longer average se r v ice of men would result in higher average pay when both sexes are em ployed within the sam e rate range. Job d escrip tion s used in cla ssify in g em ployees in these surveys are usu ally m ore gen eralized than those used in individual establishm ents to allow fo r m inor d ifferen ces among establishm ents in s p e cific duties p erform ed . Occupational em ploym ent estim ates rep resen t the total in all establishm ents within the scop e of the study and not the num ber actu ally surveyed. B ecause o f d ifferen ces in occupational stru ctu re among establishm ents, the estim ates of occupational em ploym ent obtained fro m the sam ple of establishm ents studied serv e only to indicate the relative im portance o f the jobs studied. These d ifferen ces in o c c u pational structure do not m a teria lly affect the a ccu ra cy of the earn ings data. Establishm ent P r a ctice s and Supplementary Wage P rov ision s Inform ation is p resen ted a lso (in the B -s e r ie s tables) on s e lected establishm ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary benefits as they r e late to o ffic e and plant w ork ers. The term " o ffic e w ork ers, " as used Occupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r in this bulletin, includes working su p erv isors and n onsu p ervisory fu ll-tim e w o rk e rs, i. e. , those h ired to w ork a regu la r weekly sch e d w ork ers p erform in g c le r ic a l o r related functions, and excludes adm in ule in the given occupational cla ss ifica tio n . Earnings data exclude istra tiv e, execu tive, and p rofession a l person n el. "Plant w o rk e rs" in prem ium pay fo r ov ertim e and fo r w ork on weekends, holidays, and clude working forem en and all n on su p ervisory w ork ers (including le a d men and trainees) engaged in n onoffice functions. A dm inistrative, executive, and p ro fe ssion a l em ployees, and fo rce -a cco u n t con stru ction 1 R a ilroa d s, fo r m e r ly excluded fr o m the scop e o f these studies, em ployees who are utilized as a separate w ork fo r c e are excluded. w ere included in a ll o f the areas studied sin ce July 1959, except C afeteria w ork ers and routem en are excluded in manufacturing indus B altim ore, B uffalo, Cleveland, and Seattle. R ailroads are now in tr ie s , but are included as plant w ork ers in nonmanufacturing industries. cluded in the sco p e o f a ll la b o r-m a rk e t wage su rveys. 2 Shift differen tial data (table B - l ) are lim ited to manufacturing indu stries. This inform ation is p resen ted both in term s o f (a) esta b lishm ent p o li c y ,2 p resen ted in term s of total plant w ork er em p loy ment, and (b) e ffectiv e p ra c tic e , p resen ted on the basis o f w orkers actually em ployed on the sp e cifie d shift at the tim e o f the survey. In establishm ents having varied d ifferen tia ls, the amount applying to a m a jority was used o r , if no amount applied to a m a jority , the c la s sification "o th e r" was used. In establishm ents in which som e la te shift hours are paid at norm al rates, a d ifferen tial was re co rd e d only if it applied to a m a jority o f the shift hours. Minimum entrance rates (table B -2) relate only to the esta b lishm ents visited . T h e y 'a re presen ted on an establishm ent, rather than on an em ploym ent b a sis. P aid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated sta tistica lly on the basis that these are applicable to all plant o r o ffic e w ork ers if a m a jo r ity o f such w ork ers are eligib le o r m ay eventually qualify fo r the p ra ctice s listed . Scheduled hours are treated sta tistica lly on the basis that these are applicable to all plant o r o ffic e w ork ers if a m a jority are cov ered . 3 B ecause o f rounding, sums o f individual item s in these tabulations m ay not equal totals. The fir s t part of the paid holidays table presen ts the num b e r of whole and half holidays actually provid ed . The secon d part com bines whole and half holidays to show total holiday tim e . Data are p resen ted fo r all health, insurance, and pension plans fo r which at lea st a p art o f the co st is borne by the em p loyer, excepting only lega l requirem ents such as w ork m en ^ com pensation, s o c ia l se cu rity , and ra ilroa d retirem en t. Such plans include those underwritten by a co m m e rcia l insurance com pany and those p rovid ed through a union fund o r paid d ire ctly by the em p loyer out o f current operating funds o r fr o m a fund set aside fo r this p u rpose. Death benefits a re included as a fo rm of life insurance. Sickness and acciden t insurance is lim ited to that type o f in surance under which pred eterm in ed cash payments are made d irectly to the insured on a w eekly o r monthly basis during illn ess o r acciden t disability. Inform ation is p resen ted fo r all such plans to which the em p loyer contributes. H ow ever, in New Y ork and New J e rse y , which have enacted tem p ora ry disability insurance laws which requ ire e m p lo y e r co n trib u tio n s,4 plans are included only if the em p loyer (1) co n tributes m o re than is leg a lly requ ired, o r (2) p rovid es the em ployee with benefits which exceed the requirem ents o f the law. Tabulations o f paid s ic k -le a v e plans are lim ited to form a l plans 5 which p rovide full pay o r a p rop ortion o f the w o rk e r's pay during absence fro m w ork becau se o f illn e ss. Separate tabulations are p rovid ed accord in g to (1) .plans which provid e full pay and no waiting p eriod , and (2) plans providing either partial pay o r a waiting p eriod . In addition to the presentation o f the p rop ortion s o f w ork ers who are p rovid ed sick n ess and acciden t insurance o r paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown o f w ork ers who r e ce iv e either o r both types o f ben efits. The sum m ary of vacation plans is lim ited to fo rm a l a rra n g e m ents, excluding in form al plans w hereby tim e o ff with pay is granted at the d iscre tio n o f the em ployer. Separate estim ates are p rovided accord in g to em p loyer p ra ctice in computing vacation paym ents, such as tim e paym ents, p ercen t o f annual earnings, o r fla t-su m amounts. H ow ever, in the tabulations of vacation allow an ces, payments not on a tim e basis w ere converted; fo r exam ple, a payment o f 2 p ercen t of annual earnings was co n sid ered as the equivalent of 1 w eek’ s pay. Catastrophe insurance, som etim es re fe r r e d to as extended m ed ica l insurance, includes those plans which are designed to p ro te ct em ployees in ca se o f sick n ess and injury involving expenses beyond the n orm al cov era g e of hospitalization, m ed ica l, and su rg ica l plans.

Such plans m ay be underw ritten by co m m e r cia l insurance com panies o r nonprofit organizations o r they m ay be se lf-in su re d . Tabulations o f retirem en t pension plans are lim ited to those plans that p rovid e m onthly payments fo r the rem ainder o f the w orker*s life . 2 An establishm ent was con sid ered as having a p o lic y if it m et either o f the follow ing conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the tim e o f the survey, o r (2) had fo rm a l p rov ision s cov erin g late shifts. 3 Scheduled w eekly hours fo r o ffice w ork ers (fir st section of table B -3) in surveys made p r io r to July 1957 w ere p resen ted in term s o f the p rop ortion o f women o ffic e w ork ers em ployed in o ffic e s with the indicated weekly hours fo r wom en w o rk e rs. 4 The tem p ora ry disability laws in C alifornia and Rhode Island do not requ ire em p loyer contributions. 5 An establishm ent was con sid ered as having a form a l plan if it establish ed at lea st the m inim um num ber o f days o f sick leave that could be expected by each em p loyee. Such a plan need not be written, but in form al sic k -le a v e allow an ces, determ ined on an individual b a sis, w ere excluded. 3 Table 1.

The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other area employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since ( 1 ) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled con siderably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division. Major changes from the earlier edition (used in the Bureau's labor market wage surveys conducted prior to July 1958) are the transfer of milk pasteurization plants and ready-mixed concrete establishments from trade (wholesale or retail) to manufacturing, and the transfer of radio and television broadcasting from services to the transportation, communication, and other public utilities division. 3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum-size limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion-picture theaters are considered as 1 . establishment. 4 Includes executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate office and plant categories. 5 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. ,6 Excludes department and limited-price variety stores. 7 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the series A and B tables. Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or more of the following reasons: (l) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. 8 Estimate relates to real estate establishments only. 9 Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations; and engineering and architectural services.

This is essential in order to permit the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’ s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped workers, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
