Data for 1948 and 1949 were weighted by membership reported in 1949. Hourly union wage scales of building-trades workers rose 4 percent between July 1, 1948, and July 1, 1949—the smallest gain for any year since the Second World War ended. During these 12 months, many agreements were extended for an other year without any change in wages. Approxi mately 55 percent of the union workers received wage increases, in contrast to about 95 percent in each of the first 3 years following the end of the war. On July 1, 1949, union wage scales for all building-trades workers averaged $2.18 an hour, for journeymen $2.34, and for helpers and laborers $1.55. Straight-time weekly hours averaging 39.2 for all building trades, showed no change during the year. The 40-hour standard week was still the most prevalent in the industry and affected 9 of every 10 union building-trades workers. Trends in Union Wage Rates Between June 1, 1939, and July 1, 1949, indexes of hourly wage rates for all building trades rose 70.3 percent, for journeymen 66.1 percent, and for helpers and laborers 99.8 percent (table l).1 Dur ing the same period, the Bureau's consumers' price index advanced 70.9 percent. Although the rise in average rates for journeymen (who constitute four-fifths of the workers studied) was somewhat less than the rise in consumer prices, increases to helpers and laborers substantially exceeded the advance in prices. Trend of Union Hourly W age Scales in Building Trades Scope and Method of Study The information presented in this report is based on union scales in effect on July 1, 1949, covering 632,397 journeymen and 157,629 helpers and labor ers in 77 cities, having populations ranging from 40,000 to more than 1,000,000. Data were ob tained primarily from local union officials by mail questionnaire; for a few locals in some cities, they were secured by personal visit of Bureau represen tatives. Union scales are defined as the minimum wage rates or maximum schedules of hours agreed upon through collective bargaining between tradeunions and employers. Kates in excess of the ne gotiated minimum paid for special qualifications or other reasons are excluded. Average hourly scales presented in this report are designed to show current levels and are based on all wage scales reported in effect on July 1,1949; individual union rates were weighted by the num ber of union members working at each rate. However, average cents-per-hour and percentage For the group of cities surveyed in 1949, ad vances during 1948 were 9 cents an hour for all building-trades workers, 10 cents for journeymen, 1 In the index series, year-to-year changes in union scales are based on com parable quotations for each trade weighted by the membership for the current year. a) 2 and 6 cents for helpers and laborers. (See table 3.) Gains during the year approximated 4 percent in each instance. Slightly more than half of all journeymen and helpers and laborers received increases in their wage scales. Only 5 of the 24 journeyman trades showed advances of 15 cents or more an hour; that is, asbestos workers (16 cents), electricians (20 cents), elevator construc tors (15 cents), plasterers (23 cents), and stone masons (15 cents). Average increases in 9 helper and laborer classifications ranged from 4 to 10 cents an hour. Upward adjustments in union wage scales between July 1, 1948, and July 1, 1949, were received by 75 percent or more of the workers in only 5 of the 24 journeyman trades and in 2 of the 9 helper and laborer classifications. (See table 4.) During the previous year (July 1, 1947, to July 1,1948), however, rate advances were received by at least 95 percent of the workers in a large majority of trades, and in only 2 trades were wage increases applicable to fewer than 75 percent of the workers. Of the journeymen receiving increases from mid1948 to mid-1949 about two-thircls obtained adjustments ranging from 10 to 20 cents. (See table 5.) Individual contracts, however, pro vided for rate advances varying from less than 5 to more than 50 cents an hour. Wage increases negotiated for helpers and laborers were generally less than 15 cents an hour; the majority of these workers received rate boosts of either 10 or 12}£ cents. Some journeymen benefited from wage increases in all 77 cities studied, but helpers and laborers in 7 cities were employed at union scales which did not change between July 1, 1948, and July 1, 1949. (See table 6.) Average increases greater than 5 percent were received by journeymen in 32 cities and by helpers and laborers in 42 cities. In terms of cents-an-hour for cities registering rate increases, the averages for journeymen exceeded 10 cents an hour in 36 cities and ranged from less than 1 cent in Buffalo and Miami to 25 cents in Spokane. Spokane also led the helper and laborer group with an upward adjustment of 24 cents. Hourly scale increases for helpers and laborers averaged less than 1 cent in 17 cities but were more than 10 cents in 26 cities. Union wage scales advanced 47 percent during the 4 years after YJ-day. An almost identical increase (48 percent) occurred in a somewhat similar period after World War I (from May 15, 1918, to May 15, 1922). Between May 15, 1921, and May 15, 1922, however, the level of union scales declined by 6 percent, in contrast to the 4 percent rise in the year ending July 1, 1949. The increase in union rates was accompanied by a decline (5 percent) in the Bureau’s index of whole sale prices in building materials between July 1948 and 1949. Unlike the slackening in the fourth year after World War I, building construc tion during 1949 continued at a high level of activity. Expenditures for new construction in the first 8 months of 1949 were nearly 10 percent greater than in the similar period of 1948.2 The rate of wage advance in the building trades slowed considerably in the year starting July 1, 1948, as compared with the previous year. Be tween July 1, 1947, and July 1, 1948, the rise was at least 10 percent for all but 4 of the 24 journey man trades and for all 9 helper and laborer classi fications. (See table 3.) In the following year, average increases for journeymen ranged from 3 to 9 percent and for helpers and laborers from 3 to 7 percent. The renewal of agreements for journey man trades in each of the 3 years following VJday typically provided for raises of 25 cents an hour; in contrast, the majority of increases nego tiated from mid-1948 to mid-1949 were 10, 12}£, and 15 cents, each amount affecting approximately an equal number of workers. Hourly Wage Scales, July 1, 1949 Wage rates in the building construction industry were higher than those prevailing in most other industries, organized or unorganized. Through the relatively strong and effective organization of the workers, wage scales were obtained which were designed, at least in part, to offset irregular ity of employment and to compensate for other conditions that were not encountered by factory workers of comparable skill. Average union scales for journeymen ranged from $2.14 an hour for glaziers and paperhangers 2 Derived from Bureau of Labor Statistics’ series on expenditures for new construction. 3 to $2.74 for bricklayers. (See table 7.) Other trades which averaged over $2.50 included plumb ers ($2.52), lathers ($2.54), stonemasons ($2.66), and plasterers ($2.67). Individual journeyman rates, however, were as low as $1.25 for Jackson, Miss., glaziers, and as high as $3.25 for New York slate and tile roofers and for Newark bricklayers, cement finishers, plasterers, and stonemasons. T a b l e 1 . — Indexes Wage scales of helpers and laborers varied from $1.31 for composition roofers’ helpers to $1.86 for terrazzo workers’ helpers. The spread in indi vidual rates was proportionately greater than that for journeymen, and ranged from an hourly scale of 75 cents for building laborers in Charleston, S. C., to $2.65 for plasterers’ laborers in Oakland, Calif. of union hourly wage rates in the building trades, 1907-49 [June 1,1939=100] Helpers and laborers All trades Journey men _________________ 29.3 31.2 32.7 34.0 34.5 29.7 31.6 33.2 34.6 35.2 27.3 28.5 29.5 30.5 30.6 1916: May 15________________________ 35.3 36.1 36.9 37.2 38.4 36.0 36.9 37.7 38.0 39.3 30.9 31.8 32.1 32.4 33.5 40.8 45.3 51.9 70.0 71.3 41.5 45.9 52.4 70.1 71.4 36.8 42.6 49.3 71.5 72.2 66.9 73.9 79.8 82.9 88.3 67.3 74.2 80.1 83.1 88.7 65.7 69.7 75.4 77.9 84.9 91.3 91.9 91.7 92.4 86.4 87.3 Date 1907- May 1908- M a y 1909- M a y 1910- M a y IS 1S IS IS 1911: May 15____ 19 12' 19181914' 191 S' 1917191819191990' M ay M ay M ay M ay M ay M ay M ay M ay IS IS IS IS IS IS IS IS 1921: May 15________________________ 1999' 1993' 19941995' M M M M ay ay ay ay IS 15 IS IS 1926: May 15________________________ 1997- M a y IS 1928: May 15________________________ The results of postwar adjustments on union scales are reflected in a comparison of rate levels in effect on July 1, 1945, and July 1, 1949. In mid-1949, about a third of all journeymen were working under agreements which stipulated hourly scales of $2.50 or more, and fewer than 10 percent had rates of less than $2. In addition, threefifths of all helpers and laborers had union rates ranging from $1.50 to $2.65, and the scales of fewer than 5 percent were under $1. In 1945, however, only 6 percent of all journeymen had union rates of $2 and over, whereas wage scales of less than $1 an hour applied to two-fifths of all helpers and laborers. At that time, only twotenths of 1 percent of the latter group had scales as high as $1.50. City and Regional Rate Variations Because collective bargaining is carried on locally, wage scales in the building construction industry have always varied considerably among Helpers and laborers A ll trades Journey men 93.1 97.0 97.3 83.1 93.6 97.5 97.8 83.6 88.8 93.3 92.8 79. 2 80.8 81.4 82.3 85.3 91.2 81.4 81.8 82.8 85.5 91.4 75.7 77.9 78.3 82.9 90.1 99.3 100.0 101.6 105.3 111.9 99.3 100.0 101.4 105.0 110.9 99.2 100.0 102.0 106.8 117.5 1946: July 1_________________________ 1947: July 1_________________________ 112.7 113.6 116.0 129.3 147.9 111.5 112.4 114.4 126.8 144.6 118.9 120.3 125.9 146.3 171.1 1948: July 1_________________________ 1949: July 1_________________________ 163.5 170.3 159.4 166.1 192.7 199.8 D ate 1929: 1930: 1931: 1932: M M M M avIS a v 15 a v 15 a y 15 1933: 1934: 1935: 1936: 1937: May May May May 15________________________ 15________________________ 15________________________ 15________________________ M avIS . 1938: June 1_________________________ 1939: June 1_________________________ 1940: June 1 ................ 1941: June 1___ 1942: .T iilv 1 _ 1943: July 1_________________________ 1944: July 1_________________________ 1945: J u l y 1_ cities, except where the union jurisdiction covers a number of important cities. The extent of union ization and the general level of wages in a locality are also factors in rate variations. It is reasonable to assume that high rates in the building trades would prevail in cities having high general wage levels. Differentials in ranges of union scales in 24 journeyman trades within typical cities in various sections of the country showed considerable varia tion on July 1, 1949.

The differences in the high and low rates of helpers 4 and laborers (representing only a fifth of the work ers in the industry and grouped into 9 classifica tions) were sharper than those for journeymen in 5 of the above 6 cities. Boston, where the differ ence amounted to 11 percent, was the exception. In the other 5 cities, the range was from 34 percent in Chicago to 81 percent in Atlanta. As in previous years, wage scales for both jour neymen and for helpers and laborers averaged highest in the New York metropolitan area. On July 1, 1949, Newark led all cities with hourly rate levels of $2.89 and $2.12, respectively, and was immediately followed by New York City with corresponding averages of $2.80 and $1.95. (See table 8.) Ranking third was Washington, D. C., for journeymen ($2.52) and Cleveland for helpers and laborers ($1.86). Of the 14 cities in which journeymen had average scales under $2 an hour, 9 were located in the South and 2 in New England. Levels under $1 an hour applied to helpers and laborers in 10 southern cities. In general, union scales for both journeymen and helpers and laborers were higher in the larger cities. When the 77 cities are grouped according to population, average hourly rates on July 1, 1949, descended in accordance with city size, that is, scale levels were highest in cities of 1,000,000 and over and lowest in cities from 40,000 to 100,000 in population. Rate spreads were greatest in cities with popula tions from 250,000 to 500,000. This group includes Newark, where the journeyman level was 56 cents higher and that for helpers and laborers 29 cents above the average of the next leading city. With few exceptions, notably Newark and New York, there was no consistent relationship between the scale levels of journeymen and helpers and laborers. Among cities of 500,000 to 1,000,000 population, for example, Washington, D. C., had the highest average for journeymen but next to the lowest (eighth) for helpers and laborers; Cleveland ranked first for helpers and laborers but fourth for journeymen. On a regional basis, average union wage scales for all building-trades workers on July 1, 1949, varied from $1.84 in the Southeast to $2.45 in the Middle Atlantic States. (See table 9.) Other regions with scale levels of less than $2 were the Southwest and Mountain States. In the 2 most populous regions—Middle Atlantic and Great Lakes, which embrace 30 of the 77 cities studied— the rate levels exceeded the national average of $2.18. Levels of union scales for all journeyman trades combined exceeded $2 and ranged from $2.03 in the Southeast to $2.66 in the Middle Atlantic States. The average rates in the Middle Atlantic States were highest for all 24 trades studied except paperhangers and stonemasons. Levels were gen erally lowest in the Southeast and the Southwest, but more predominantly in the former region. Regional hourly averages for 9 helper and laborer classifications combined were as low as $1 in the Southeast and as high as $1.72 in the Middle Atlantic States. Levels exceeding $2 applied to plasterers’ laborers on the Pacific Coast ($2.20) and in the Middle Atlantic States to plasterers’ laborers and to tile layers’ helpers ($2.02), and to terrazzo workers’ helpers ($2.06). Building labor ers and composition roofers’ helpers in the South east, with average union scales of 95 and 89 cents, respectively, were the only groups below $1 an hour. Standard Workweek The changes in straight-time weekly hours be tween July 1, 1948, and July 1, 1949, had no effect on the average for all building-trades workers— which remained at 39.2, but raised the index a tenth of 1 percent for journeymen. (See table 10.) Decreases in standard weekly hours before over time rates became effective were virtually offset by the few increases in hours (probably induced by the large volume of available work) from 30 to both 35 and 40 hours a week. Where standard hours were increased, upward adjustments in basic rates were agreed upon to prevent reduction of take-home pay. On July 1, 1949, the 40-hour standard week covered almost 90 percent of all journeymen and helpers and laborers. A 35-hour week was more often found among bricklayers, carpenters, elec tricians, lathers, painters, stonemasons, and brick layers’ tenders than among other trades. (See table 12.) Less than 2 percent of all workers had a straight-time workweek of 30 hours. However, from 13 to 31 percent of lathers, plasterers, plumb ers, and plasterers’ laborers were subject to this work schedule. 5 T able 2. — Indexes of union hourly wage rates in each building trade,
