Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual
surveys of wage rates and scheduled hours of work for
specified crafts or jobs as provided in lab or-m anagem ent
agreements in four industries: Building construction, print­
ing, local transit, and local trucking. The studies present
the wage rates in effect as of July 1 of each year, as r e ­
ported to the Bureau by the appropriate local labor organi­
zations in each of the cities.
Information on the union scales and hours p r e ­
vailing in each city is available in August of each year
upon request to the Bureau*s regional offices. A nation­
wide summary report of rates for local m otortrucking
was issued in January I960. This bulletin provides addi­
tional data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours
fo r the period 1936-59.
It was prepared by Thomas C.
Mobley under the direction of John F. Laciskey of the
Bureau^ Division of Wages and Industrial Relations.

Scope and Method o f Study

Union s c a le s a re defined as the m in i­

The inform ation presented in this re p o rt
was based on union sca le s in e ffe ct on July 1,
1959, and co v e re d approxim ately 275,000 d r iv ­

The cu rren t survey w as designed to r e ­

d riv e rs and h elp ers in a ll c itie s of 100, 000 or

A ll c itie s with 500,000 or

The

the United States. The data fo r som e of the
citie s included in the study in the two sm a ller

Thus,

Scale adjustm ents betw een July 1, 1958,

R a ises o f le s s than

Rates advanced at lea st 17V2 cents fo r another

the d r iv e r s and a lm ost the sam e p rop ortion
of h elp ers had their sca le advanced by this

In percen tage term s, the advances
