Preface
The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual sur
veys of union wage rates and scheduled hours of work for
specified crafts or jobs as provided in labor-management
agreements in selected cities 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.
Information on the union scales and hours prevailing
in each city is available in October of each year upon re
quest to the Bureau’ s regional offices. A nationwide sum
m ary report of these rates in the building construction
trades was issued in January 1962. This bulletin provides
additional data and indexes of the trend of wages and hours
for the period 1907—61.
It was prepared by Thomas C.
Mobley under the direction of John F. Laciskey of the
Bureau’ s Division of Wages and Industrial Relations.
