The studies, made from late fall to early spring, relate to occupational earnings and related supplementary benefits. A prelim inary report is available on completion of the study in each area, usually in the month following the payroll period studied. This bulletin provides additional data not included in the earlier report. A consolidated analytical bulletin summarizing the results of all of the year *s surveys is issued after completion of the final area bulletin for the current round of surveys. This report was prepared in the Bureau*s regional office in New York, N .Y ., by Elliott A. Browar, under the direction of Frederick W. M ueller, Regional Wage and Industrial Relations Analyst.

C .-M d .-V a . Introduction This area is one of several important industrial centers in which the U. S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics has conducted surveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areawide basis. In this area, data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field econom ists to representative establishm ents within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation , 1 communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and serv ices. Major in dustry groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishm ents having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted also because they furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied to w ar rant inclusion. Wherever 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 establishm ents. To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of sm all establishm ents is studied. In combining the data, how ever, all establishm ents are given their appropriate weight. Estim ates based on the establishm ents studied are presented, therefore, as re lating to all establishm ents 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 c la s sification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishm ent 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 occupa tions: (a) Office clerical; (b) professional and technical; (c) m ainte nance and power plant; and (d) custodial and m aterial movement. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-tim e workers, i. e . , those hired to work a regular weekly sched ule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtim e 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-tim e salaries are paid; average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar. Average earnings of men and women are presented separately for selected occupations in which both sexes are commonly employed. Differences in pay levels of men and women in these occupations are largely due to ( 1 ) differences in the distribution of the sexes among industries and establishm ents; (2 ) differences in specific duties per formed, although the occupations are appropriately classified within the same survey job description; and (3) differences in length of serv ice or m erit review when individual salaries are adjusted on this basis. Longer average service of men would result in higher ayerage pay when both sexes are employed within the same rate range. Job descriptions used in classifying em ployees in these surveys are usu ally more generalized than those used in individual establishm ents to allow for minor differences among establishm ents in specific duties performed. Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in all establishm ents within the scope of the study and not the number actu ally surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure among establishm ents, the estim ates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishm ents studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occu pational structure do not m aterially affect the accuracy of the earn ings data. Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions Information is presented also (in the B -series tables) on s e lected establishm ent practices and supplementary benefits as they re late to office and plant workers. The term "office workers, " as used in this bulletin, includes working aupervisors. and nonsupervisory workers performing clerical or related functions, and excludes admin istrative, executive, and professional personnel. "Plant workers" in clude working forem en and all nonsupervisory workers (including lead1 Railroads, form erly excluded from the scope of these studies,men and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Administrative, have been added in nearly all of the areas to be studied during the executive, and professional em ployees, and force-account construction winter of 1959-60; railroads w ill be added in the remaining areas next em ployees who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded. year. For scope of survey in this area, see footnote to "transporta Cafeteria workers and routemen are excluded in manufacturing indus tion, communication, and other public utilities" in table 1 . tries, but are included as plant workers in nonmanufacturing industries. 2 T a b le 1.

Separate estim ates 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 of 1 w eek'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 em ployer, excepting only legal requirements such as workmen1s compensation and social security. Such plans include those underwritten by a com m ercial insurance company and those provided through a union fund or paid directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose. Death benefits are included as a form of life insurance. Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of in surance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly or monthly basis during illn ess or accident disability. 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,4 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 lim ited to formal plans5 which provide full pay or a proportion of the worker's pay during absence from work because of illn ess. 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, som etim es referred to a st extended medical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect em ployees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, m edical, and surgical plans. Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial payment of doctors' fees. Such plans may be underwritten by com m er cial insurance companies or nonprofit organizations or they may be self-insured. Tabulations of retirem ent pension plans are lim ited to those plans that provide monthly payments for the remainder of the w orker's life. An establishm ent was considered as having a policy if it m et either of the following conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the time of the survey, or (2) had formal provisions covering late shifts. 3 Scheduled weekly hours for office workers (first section table B-3) in surveys made prior to late 1957 and early 1958 were presented in term s of the proportion of women office workers em ployed in offices with the indicated weekly hours for women w orkers. 4 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require em ployer contributions. 5 An establishm ent was considered as having a form al plan if ofit established at least the minimum number of days of sick leave that could be expected by each em ployee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick-leave allowances, determined on an individual b asis, were excluded. Shift differential data (table B -l) are lim ited to manufacturing industries. This information is presented both in term s of (a) estab lishm ent policy,2 presented in term s of total plant worker em ploy ment, and (b) effective practice, presented on the basis of workers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishm ents having varied differentials, the amount applying to a majority was used or, if no amount applied to a m ajority, the c la s sification "other" was used. In establishm ents 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 lishm ents visited. They are presented on an establishm ent, 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 m a jority 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 m ajority are covered .3 Because of rounding, sums of individual item s in these tabulations may not 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 tim e. 4 A* Occupational Earnings Table A -l.
