Preface
The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual surveys of wage rates and weekly
straight-time hours of work for specified crafts or jobs as provided in labor-management
agreements in the construction, printing, local transit, and local trucking industries. A
biennial survey of grocery stores also is included in this program. These studies present
the wage rates in effect on July 1, as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate local
labor organization officials in each of the surveyed cities.
Preliminary listings of union wage rates and hours for printing trades employees in
each city were issued before this bulletin. Copies of these listings are available from the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D. C. 20212, or any of its regional offices listed
on the inside back cover of this bulletin.
This study of printing trades wage rates was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of
Wages and Industrial Relations. Mary Kay Rieg of the Division of Occupational Wage
Structures prepared this bulletin, which provides a comprehensive account of the
current study and also includes indexes of wage rates for printing trades employees from
1907-72.

Printing Industry
Summary

On July 1, 1972, union wage rates for printing
trades workers in cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more
averaged $5.89 an hour—an advance of 8.0 percent, or
43 cents, over the figure for the preceding year. This
percentage increase, down somewhat from the 10.2
percent recorded for the year ending July 1, 1971,
brought the Bureau’s index for straight-time union wage
rates for all printing trades to 144.2 (1967=100). The
wage index for book and job workers was 144.4 and for
newspaper workers was 144.2. (See table 1.) The
slackened rate of rise in 1972 broke a 7-year pattern of
accelerating annual increases between 1964 and 1971.
(See text table 2.)
During the July 1971-72 period, nine-tenths of all
printing tradesmen surveyed received hourly wage-rate
increases, the majority (76 percent) of which ranged
from 6 to 12 percent. (See table 8. Cents-per-hour
increases appear in table 7.)
Advances in pay scales were recorded for a larger
percentage of lithographic workers (96 percent) than for
those in either the book and job (89 percent) or
newspaper fields (88 percent). These advances continued
a pattern established in 1968, when lithography wage
trends were first incorporated into the survey. However,
the 6.9 percent average wage increase in lithography
shops during the July 1971-72 period was below the

national average increase for all printing trades (8.0
percent) and the average increases recorded for book and
job and newspaper workers (8.0 percent and 8.3 percent
respectively). (See table 5.)
Wage rates for workers in book and job shops
averaged $5.49 an hour on July 1, 1972, compared with
$6.09 for those in newspaper establishments and $6.56
for workers in lithography (offset printing) plants. These
differences result from the way workers in the three
industry branches are distributed among the cities
surveyed and industry pay relationships within cities.
The text table below illustrates variations in indus­
try pay relationships and employment mix among the
six largest cities studied (those having 1 million or more
inhabitants).
It shows, for example, that pay averages in lithog­
raphy and newspaper establishments were about the
same for the six largest cities, combined, compared with
an 8 percent nationwide advantage for lithography.
Although lithography was typically the highest paying
industry branch, averages for newspaper establishments
were reported highest in two of the largest cities—New
York and Detroit. Also in New York City, where the
largest concentration of printing trades workers was
found, average wage rates were nearly equal for workers
in book and job shops and lithography establishments, a
marked contrast to their other pay relationships shown
in text table 1.

Since 1962, union wage rates for printing trades
workers have advanced at an average annual rate of 5.4
percent. The annual rate of rise averaged 3.2 percent for
1962-67 contrasted with 7.6 percent during the 1967-72
period. The annual percentage increases for the decade
are shown in text table 2.
Regional and city averages of union wage rates by
industry branch are presented in tables 10 and 11,
respectively. These averages are influenced by various
factors, including differences in union wage rates for
individual cities and the differences in the occupational
composition for a given industry branch among cities.
Also, a particular craft may not be covered by a collective
bargaining agreement in some cities and thus is excluded
from the survey, whereas all or part of the workers in
the craft may be covered in other cities. In addition,
certain types of work are more prevalent in some cities
than in others. Table 13 presents, by city and industry
branch, wage rates for specific occupations, and provides
the best intercity comparison at this level.
Average hourly wage rates varied by occupation with
each of the industry branches. In book and job shops,
they ranged from $3.54 for bindery women to $6.67 for
photoengravers. Daywork rates in newspaper plants
averaged highest ($6.46) for photoengravers and lowest
($5.55) for mailers. For nightwork, corresponding aver­
ages ranged from $6.81 to $6.04 an hour. In lithography
(offset) shops, average hourly wage rates varied from a
low of $5.72 for press assistants and feeders to a high of
$6.88 for offset pressmen.
Weekly hours paid at straight-time rates averaged 35.9
for all printing trades workers on July 1, 1972. (See
table 9.) Averages were about 36 hours in book and job
shops and newspaper establishments and 35 hours in
lithography.

Contract provisions for employer financed health and
welfare and pension plans applied to most workers
surveyed. Where available, information on these plans
concerning the amount employers contributed by trade
and area is presented in table 13.
Scope and method of survey

Union wage rates and hours reported in this bulletin
were agreed on through collective bargaining between
trade unions and employers, and defined as (1) the basic
(minimum) wage rates (excluding holiday, vacation, or
other benefit payments made regularly or credited to the
worker each pay period) and (2) the maximum schedules
of hours at straight-time rates. Rates over the negotiated
minimum, which may be paid for special qualifications
or for other reasons, are excluded.
Information presented in this bulletin was based on
union rates in effect on July 1, 1972, for approximately
116,500 printing trades workers in 69 cities.1 Data were
obtained primarily from local union officials by mail
questionnaire; in some instances, Bureau economists
visited local union officials to obtain the desired
information.
The survey was designed to reflect union wage rates
of printing industry employees in all cities of 100,000
inhabitants or more, excluding Honolulu, and is based
on the 1970 Census of Population. All cities that had
500,000 inhabitants or more were included, as were
most cities with 250,000 to 500,000 inhabitants. Data
for some cities were weighted to compensate for cities
n o t surveyed. To provide appropriate regional repre­

sentation, each region was considered separately when
city weights were assigned.
Average wage rates, designed to show current levels,
were based on wage rates reported in each city on July
1, 1972. The wage rates were weighted by the number of
union members at the rate in the area. These averages
were not designed for precise year-to-year comparisons
because of fluctuations in membership in the classifica­
tions studied.
Average cents-per-hour and percent
changes from July 1, 1971, to July 1, 1972, however,
were based on comparable quotations for the various job
classifications in both periods, and weighted by the
memberships reported for the current (1972) survey.
The index series, designed for trend purposes, was
constructed similarly.
1 Largely as a result of efforts made to eliminate overestima­
tions of union membership, the number of workers covered by
the 1972 study was lower than the 1971 figure (121,000).
