P r e fa c e

The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts annual
surveys of wage rates and scheduled hours of work for
sp ecified crafts or job s as provided in labor-m anagem ent
agreem ents in f o u r industries:
Building construction,
printing, lo ca l transit, and loca 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 loca l labor
organizations in each of the cities included in the survey.
Information on the union scales and hours p re ­
vailing in each city is available in September of each year
upon request to the Bureau's regional offices which are
listed on the inside back co v e r. A release sum m arizing
the rates for the building trades on* a nationwide basis
was issued in January 1963. This analysis provides ad­
ditional 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. L aciskey, in the Bureau's
D ivision of National Wage and Salary Incom e, under the
general direction o f H. M. Douty, Assistant C om m issioner
fo r Wages and Industrial Relations.

The B u reau 's s e r ie s o f annual studies o f

with data fo r 1907.
In the in itia l su rvey,

The prevalence o f negotiated health, insurance, and pen­
sion programs for construction workers was first studied in July
1954. Information on these plans was restricted to those financed
entirely or in part by the em ployer.
Plans financed by workers
through union dues or assessments were excluded from the study.
No attempt was made to secure information on the kind and e x ­
tent o f benefits provided or on the cost o f plans providing such
benefits. In the current study, however, information was obtained
on the amount of em ployer contributions, in terms o f cents per
hour or percent o f rate.
Such information is presented in table
12. Although some em ployer payments are calculated on the
basis o f total hours or gross payroll, these variations in the method
o f com putation are not indicated in the tabulation.
