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 labor-management
agreements in four industries:
Building construction,
printing, local transit, and local 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 included in the survey.
Information on the union scales and hours pre­
vailing for the printing trades in each city is available in
October of each year upon request to the Bureau's regional
offices, as shown on the inside back cover.
A release
summarizing the rates for the printing trades on a nation­
wide basis was issued in February 1963.
This analysis
provides additional data and indexes of the trend of wages
and hours for the period 1907—62.
This bulletin was prepared by Thomas C. Mobley,
under the supervision of John F. Laciskey, in the Bureau's
Division of National Wage and Salary Income, under the
general direction of H. M. Douty, Assistant Commissioner
for Wages and Industrial Relations.

Union W ages and Hours:
Printing Industry, July 1, 1962
Summary

Scope and Method of Study

Hourly wage scales of organized printing
trades workers in cities of 100,000 or more
population rose 10 cents, or 2 .9 percent, on
the average, during the year ending July 1,
1962. The advance was 10 cents in both book
and job shops and newspaper establishments
according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics
annual survey of such scales in the printing
industry.

Union scales are those agreed upon
through collective bargaining between trade
unions and employers, and defined as (1) the
basic (minimum) wage scales (excluding hol­
iday, vacation, or other benefit payments reg­
ularly made or credited to the worker each
pay period) and (2) the maximum schedules
of hours at straight-time rates. Rates in ex­
cess of the negotiated minimum, which may
be paid for special qualifications or other
reasons, are not included.

Revisions in pay scales which became ef­
fective between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962,
raised hourly wage rates for nine-tenths of
the printing tradesmen covered by the survey.
Advances varied from 8 to 10 cents for a
fourth of the workers, 10 to 12 cents for a l­
most another fourth, 6 to 8 cents for a tenth,
and 12 to 15 cents for slightly more than a
tenth. 1 The advance was 15 cents or more
an hour for an eighth of the printing trades
workers.

The information presented in this bulletin
was based on union scales in effect on July 1,
1962, and covered approximately
113,000
printing trades workers in 54 cities with pop­
ulations of 100,000 or more.
Data were ob­
tained primarily from local union officials by
mail questionnaire; in some instances, Bureau
economists visited local union officials to ob­
tain the desired information.

As a result of the widespread rate r e ­
visions, union hourly scales on July 1, 1962,
averaged $3.41 for all printing trades workers
combined— $ 3. 24 in book and job shops and
$ 3. 66 in newspaper plants.
Slightly more
than half of the printing tradesmen had nego­
tiated rates of $ 3. 20 to $ 3. 80 an hour and a
fourth had rates of $ 3. 80 or more.

The current survey reflects union wage
scales in the printing industry in all cities of
100.000 or more population.
All cities with
500.000 or more population were included, as
were most cities in the 250,000 to 500,000
group. The cities in the 100,000 to 250,000
group selected for study were distributed
widely throughout the United States.
Data for
some of the cities included in the study were
weighted to compensate for cities not sur­
veyed. To provide appropriate representation
in the combination of data, each geographic
region was considered separately when city
weights were assigned.

Straight-time weekly work schedules av­
eraged 36. 5 hours on July 1, 1962, unchanged
from the previous year.
The predominant
workweek was, however, 37V2 hours, which
applied to 44 percent of the printing crafts­
men. Straight-time workweeks of 3 6 V4 hours
were specified for 28 percent of the workers
and of 35 hours for 21 percent.
Health and welfare (insurance) programs
financed wholly or in part by the employers
were specified in labor-management agree­
ments applicable to slightly more than threefourths of the printing tradesmen.
Similarly
financed pension plans were provided in con­
tracts covering almost three-fifths of the
workers.

Average hourly scales, indicating current
levels, were based on all scales reported in
effect on July 1, 1962. Individual scales were
weighted by the number of union members at
each rate.
These averages are not designed
for precise year-to-year comparisons because
of fluctuations in membership and in job
classifications studied.
Average cents-perhour and percent changes from July 1, 1961,
to July 1, 1962, w ere, however, based on
comparable quotations for the various occupa­
tional classifications in both periods, weighted
by the membership reported for the current
(1962) survey.
The index series, providing
long-term trend data, is similarly constructed.

1 For ease of reading, in this and subsequent discussions of
tabulations, the limits of the class intervals are designated as
10 to 12 cents, 3 to 5 percent, e t c ., instead of using the more
precise term inology, 10 and under 12 cents, 3 and under 5 per­
cent, etc.

2
Trend of Union Scales,

1907—62

The Bureau's series of surveys of union
wage scales in the printing industry began
with data for 1907. Subsequent data were ob­
tained annually except for the period from
July 1, 1946, to July 1, 1949, when scale
information was collected every 18 months.
In the initial survey, information was collected
for 11 classifications in 39 cities. The current
report presents data for 20 trade cla ssifi­
cations in 54 cities.
During this 56-year span, wage scales
for printing trades workers in book and job
shops and in newspaper establishments ad­
vanced each year except 1932 and 1933.
For
the years 1907 through 1910, however, the
data were not tabulated for all printing trades
combined. The Bureau's index of union hourly
wage scales on a 1957—59=100 base shows the
level of scales for all printing trades workers
combined rose from 13.9 on May 15, 1911,
to 112.9 on July 1, 1962.
(See table l . ) 2
This increase has been at an annual rate of
4. 2 percent.
The rate of advance, however, has varied
widely during the 52-year span for which data
are available. Advances were small prior to
World War I but rose sharply during the war
and in years immediately following the ce ssa ­
tion of hostilities.
A record gain of 28 per­
cent in 1920 raised the level of union scales
to almost double that of 1911. After a 10 per­
cent advance in 1921, union wage scales con­
tinued a moderate upward movement through
1931 when a level 35 percent above 1920 was
reached. The downward movement occasioned
by declines of 1 percent in 1932 and of 6 per­
cent in the following year was reversed in
1934 but its effects were not fully offset until
1936.
In June 1941, the level of rates was
12 percent above the 1931 level.
Rates rose
moderately (12 percent) in the World War II
years of 1941—45. Advances during this period
were moderated by the Government's wage
stabilization program.
Scales rose sharply
after the war and on July 1, 1949, attained
a level 67 percent above that of 4 years ear­
lier.
Except for the period of the Korean
outbreak (1950—53), the advance ranged from
2 to 3 V2 percent in each of the years sub­
sequent to 1949. The percent change in each
year is shown in an accompanying chart.

2 Effective with this report, the Bureau is currently using
1957-459 as 100 in the computation of the index. When computed
on the January 2, 1948—July 1, 1949=100 base as shown in Union
Wages and Hours: Printing Industry, July 1, 1961 (BLS Bulletin
1315, 1962), the index for July 1, 1962, is 162. 1.




The index for book and job shops rose
from 10.4 in 1907 to 114.0 in 1962 and for
newspaper establishments from 13. 8 to 111. 3.
The annual rate of advance over the 1907—62
period was 4. 4 percent for book and job shops
and 3. 9 percent for newspaper plants; for the
1911—62 period, the rates were 4 .3 and 3.9
percent, respectively.
Scale Increases,

1961—62

Many of the union contracts in effect on
July 1, 1962, were negotiated for 2 years—
a few were for longer periods.
Contracts of
more than a year's duration frequently pro­
vide for wage reopenings or contain provi­
sions for periodic increases.
Although in­
dividual contracts provided for increases at
various dates, only those scale changes that
actually became effective between July 1, 1961,
and July 1, 1962, were included in the cur­
rent study.
Some of these scale revisions
were provided for in contracts which became
effective prior to July 1, 1961.
A number of
agreements negotiated during the year ending
July 1, 1962, contain provisions for rate in­
creases after July 1, 1962.
Thus, the scale
revisions presented herein do not reflect the
total wage scale changes negotiated in indi­
vidual contracts during the survey year.
Between July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962,
the level of union scales for printing trades
workers in cities of 100,000 or more popu­
lation rose 2 .9 percent.
This advance, a l­
though slightly smaller than the gain reg is­
tered in the year ending July 1, 1961, equaled
the increase recorded in the 12 months ending
July 1, I960.
This upward adjustment r e ­
flected advances of 3. 1 percent in book and
job (commercial) shops and 2. 7 percent in
newspaper establishments.
The rate of gain varied widely among in­
dividual trades in both types of printing estab­
lishments.
It ranged from 2 .4 percent for
electrotypers to 3. 7 percent for mailers in
commercial shops and from 1. 8 percent for
pressm en-in-charge to 3. 1 percent for m a­
chine tenders (machinists) in newspaper estab­
lishments (table 5).
Hourly wage scales rose 10 cents, on the
average, in both commercial shops and news­
paper plants.
Among the individual trades,
the advances varied from 7 cents for bindery
women to 14 cents an hour for photoengravers
in commercial shops and from 7 cents for
pressmen (journeymen) and pres sm en-incharge to 11 cents for machine operators and
machine tenders (machinists) in newspaper
plants.

Union hourly wage scales were adjusted
upward during the year for slightly more than
nine-tenths of the printing trades workers in
book and job shops and seven-eighths of those
in newspaper plants.
For a few workers in
three trades in commercial shops, scales
were revised downward.
Such decreases af­
fected less than one-half of 1 percent of the
workers in book and job shops.
Rates rose
for at least 5 of every 6 workers in all trades
in book and job shops and in 5 of the 8 trades
in newspaper establishments.
Advances in the hourly scales for com­
mercial work varied from 8 to 10 cents for
slightly more than a fifth of the workers,
10 to 12 cents for a fourth, and 12 cents or
more for almost another fourth.
For news­
paper work, the respective proportions were
a fourth, a fifth, and about a fourth (table 4).
Increases in the hourly wage scales be­
tween July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, rep­
resented gains of 3 to 4 percent for threeeighths of the workers in commercial shops
and for almost the same proportion in news­
paper establishments, and of 2 to 3 percent
for about a fifth of the workers in both types
of printing establishments.
Gains of 4 to
5 percent were recorded for a sixth of the
book and job shop workers and a sixteenth of
those in newspaper establishments.
Scales
rose 5 percent or more for a sixth of the
printing trades workers in both commercial
shops and newspaper plants (table 3).
Rate Variations by Type of Work
Commercial (book and job) printshops
produce many different items in varying quan­
tities; newspaper establishments, on the other
hand, are geared to mass production of a
single recurring item at regular intervals.
Because of these variations, the composition
of the labor force differs materially in the
two branches of the printing industry. A sub­
stantial proportion of the labor force in com­
mercial shops is comprised of bindery women,
m ailers, and press assistants and feeders,
who typically perform routine and less skilled
tasks; in newspaper printing, however, jour­
neymen are required in greater proportions
to meet daily demands. These different work
force requirements are reflected in the av­
erage rates, which take into account the
number of printing trades workers at the v ar­
ious rates of pay in each type of establishment.
On July 1, 1962, hourly wage scales of
unionized printing trades workers averaged
$ 3. 24 in book and job shops and $ 3. 66 in
newspaper plants. Nightwork scales in news­
paper establishments averaged about 6 p er­
cent, or 22 cents an hour, higher than com ­




parable daywork scales— $3.77 compared with
$ 3 .5 5 (table 7).
Because relatively few
workers are employed on nightwork in com­
mercial shops, data for such workers were
excluded from the survey.
Although daywork scales were higher on
the average in newspaper plants than in com ­
m ercial shops, no consistent pattern of scale
differentials existed among occupational cla s­
sifications common to both types of printing.
Daywork scales for mailers were, on the
average, 16 cents an hour more in newspaper
establishments than in book and job shops.
Photoengravers and stereotypers on com m er­
cial work, however, averaged 31 and 37 cents
an hour, respectively, above day-shift workers
in these crafts in newspaper plants.
On July 1, 1962, negotiated wage scales
for printing trades workers showed a wide
variation.
In commercial shops, day-shift
scales ranged f r o m $ 1 .4 7 an h o u r for
some platen press assistants and feeders in
Memphis to $ 5 . 06 an hour for first pressmen
on 4-color offset presses in Boston.
Scales
of $ 3. 30 to $ 3. 80 an hour were specified in
labor-management agreements for threeeighths of the printing craftsmen and of $ 2. 80
to $ 3. 30 for a fifth. Scales of $ 3. 80 or more
an hour were reported for a fifth of the
workers, including some printing craftsmen
in all trades except bindery women and press
assistants and feeders.
Two-fifths of elec­
trotypers, a slightly smaller proportion of
photoengravers and about two-thirds of the
stereotypers had scales ranging from $ 3. 80
to $ 4 . 30 as did a sixth of compositors and
cylinder pressmen, a seventh of the mailers
and a tenth of the bookbinders. Slightly more
than two-fifths of the photoengravers had
scales of $ 4. 30 or more.
Rates of less than
$ 2. 30 an hour were reported for almost a
fifth of the workers, including nine-tenths of
the bindery women, a sixth of the m ailers,
and a few workers in four other trades.
Among bindery women, nearly half had scales
of less than $2 an hour and two-fifths had
rates ranging from $2 to $ 2 .2 0 (table 7).

In newspaper plants, hourly wage scales
varied from $ 2 .5 9 for day-shift mailers in
Little Rock to $ 5 .2 7 for night-shift stereo­
typers on German and Polish language news­
papers in Chicago.
Wage scales of $ 3. 30
to $ 3. 80 an hour were specified in labormanagement agreements for 64 percent of the
day-shift workers and 48 percent of the nightworkers. Negotiated rates of $ 3. 80 or more
applied to 19 and 45 percent of the day- and
night-shift workers , respectively.
Scales of

5
at least $ 3 .8 0 were in effect for s o m e
workers in each of the newspaper printing
trades; approximately three-fourths of the
photoengravers and pressm en-in-charge had
such scales as did a third of the compositors
and pressmen.
Among the individual printing trades in
book and job shops, average union hourly
scales, except for bindery women ($2) and
press assistants and feeders ($ 2 .9 2 ), varied
from $ 3 .0 8 for mailers to $ 4 .2 0 for photo­
engravers.
Of the eight remaining trades,
six had scales averaging at least $ 3. 53 an
hour.
In newspaper establishments, scales
averaged highest ($ 4 .0 1 ) for p ressm en-incharge and lowest ($3.38) for m ailers. Except
for photoengravers ($ 3 .9 7 ), average scales
for the other newspaper printing crafts showed
little variation, ranging from $ 3. 66 to $ 3. 7 1
an hour.
Nightwork scales in newspaper establish­
ments were, on the average, 22 cents, or
6 percent, above daywork scales.
Among
individual trades, the differential for nightwork varied from 16 cents for machine tenders
(machinists) to 32 cents for p ressm en-incharge.
In percentage term s, differentials
varied from 4. 4 to 8 .8 percent.
City Variations
Union hourly scales were increased be­
tween July 1, 1961, and July 1, 1962, for
some printing trades workers in each of the
cities surveyed except Spokane.
Almost all
of the printing trades in that city were in
negotiation at the time of the study.
No union
scales, however, were reported for com m er­
cial shops in Charlotte or for newspaper
establishments in Portland.
In book and job
shops, hourly scales rose 8 to 10 cents in
17 cities, 6 to 8 cents in 12 cities, 10 to
12 cents in 10 cities, and 12 cents or more
in 6 cities.
In newspaper plants, the com ­
parable number of cities were 11, 12, 12, and
10, respectively.
The advance represented
gains of 2 to 3 percent for book and job
printing in 24 cities and for newspaper work
in a like number, of 3 to 4 percent in 15 and
13 cities, respectively.
Gains of 4 percent
or more were recorded in four cities for
commercial work and in three cities for news­
paper work (table 6).
The city averages presented in table
8 were designed to show current levels of
rates; they do not measure differences in
union scales among areas.
Scales for indi­
vidual crafts, of course, varied from city to
city. The city averages, however, were in­
fluenced not only by differences in rates a mong cities, but also by differences in the




proportion of organized worker s in the various
crafts.
Thus, a particular craft or c la ssi­
fication may not be organized in some areas
or may be organized less intensively in some
areas than in others.
In addition, certain
types of work were found in some areas but
not in others, or to a greater extent in some
areas than in others. These differences were
reflected in the weighting of individual rates
by the number of union members at the rate.
Hence, even though rates for all individual
crafts in two areas may be identical, the
average for all crafts combined in each area
may differ.
Standard Workweek
Changes in negotiated weekly work sched­
ules at straight-time rates between July 1,
1961, and July 1, 1962, affected relatively
few workers.
The reported changes had no
effect on the average straight-time workweek,
which remained at 36. 5 hours for all printing
trades workers combined. Day-shift schedules
averaged 36. 6 hours in book and job shops
and 36. 9 hours in newspaper establishments;
night-shift workers in newspaper plants had
an average weekly schedule of 36. 1 hours
(table 9).
The most common straight-time work­
week, 3 7 V2 hours, affected two-fifths of the
book and job shop workers and almost half
of those in newspaper establishments.
Ne­
gotiated weekly schedules of 3 6 V4 hours were
specified for three-tenths and a fourth of the
printing craftsmen in book and job shops and
newspaper plants, respectively.
Standard
workweeks of 35 hours or less were in effect
for a fourth of the workers in both types of
printing establishments.
Health, Insurance, and Pension Plans
Negotiated health, insurance, and pension
programs in the printing industry have in­
creased in recent years, although less rapidly
than in some industries. 3 The rate of devel­
opment has undoubtedly been influenced by
programs operated by a number of unions for
many years, which provide members with one
or more types of benefits.
Labor-management agreements providing
for health and insurance programs affected

^ The prevalence of negotiated health, insurance, and pen­
sion programs in the printing industry was first studied by the
Bureau as o f July 1, 1954. Information gathered on these plans
was restricted to those financed entirely or in part by the employer.
Plans financed by workers through union dues or assessments were
excluded.
No attempt was made to secure information on the
kind and extent o f benefits provided or on the cost o f plans pro­
viding such benefits.

6
more workers than did those containing pro­
visions for pension plans— three-fourths com­
pared with slightly less than three-fifths.
Health and insurance programs were appli­
cable to 4 of every 5 workers in book and job
shops and to 7 of every 10 on newspaper
work. Pension plans affected about half of the
workers in each type of printing establishment.

shop workers and four-fifths of those on news­
papers. Employer-financedpension plans pre­
vailed for four-fifths of the printing craftsmen
covered by labor-management contracts pro­
viding for such plans.
This proportion pre­
vailed for both book and job shops and news­
paper establishments.
Union Scales by City and Trade

Of the printing tradesmen provided health
and insurance protection, seven-eighths were
covered by plans entirely financed by the em ­
ployer.
Such plans were included in agree­
ments affecting nine-tenths of the commercial
