Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual
surveys of wage rates and scheduled hours of w ork for
sp ecified crafts or job s as provided in labor-m anagem ent
agreem ents in four industries:
Building construction,
printing, loca l transit, and lo ca l trucking.
The studies
present the wage rates in effect as of July 1 of each year,
as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate local labor
organizations in each of the cities.
Inform ation on the union scales and hours p r e ­
vailing in each city is available in October of each year
upon request to the Bureau’s regional o ffice s . A nation­
wide summary report of rates in the printing trades was
issued in February 1962. This bulletin provides additional
data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours for the
period 1907—61. It was prepared in the Bureau's D ivision
of Wages and Industrial Relations by Thomas C. Mobley
under the d irection of John F. Laciskey.
