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 indus­
tries: 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 the cities included in the survey.
Information on the union scales and hours prevailing for the
building trades in 68 selected cities is available in October of each
year on request to the Bureau’ s regional offices, listed on the in­
side back cover. An advance release summarizing the rates for
the building trades on a nationwide basis was issued in January 1969.
The study was conducted in the Bureau’ s Office of Wages and
Industrial Relations. This bulletin, which provides a comprehensive
account of the current study and includes indexes of wages and hours
for the period 1907-68, was prepared by Thomas C. Mobley in the
Division of Occupational Wage Structures.

Building Trades, July 1, 196,8

Summary

Among the journeymen trades, average scales
ranged from $4.89 an hour for slate and tile roofers
to $5.73 for machinists and plumbers. Composition
roofers’ helpers had the lowest average scale among
the helpers and laborers ($3.09) and terrazzo
workers’ helpers, the highest ($4.64) (table 10).

Union hourly wage scales of building-trades
workers rose 6.6 percent, or 32 cents on the
average, to $5.14 between July 1, 1967, and July 1,
1968, according to the Bureau’ s 62d annual survey
in cities having a population of 100,000 or more.
Journeymen scales in these cities averaged $5.43
an hour and those for helpers and laborers, $4.05
an hour. Average hourly scales advanced 6.7 per
o r 34 cents for journeymen and 6.4 percent or
24 cents for helpers and laborers.

Many labor-management contracts provide for
employer payments to insurance (health and welfare),
pension, and/or vacation funds. The inclusion of
these payments with the basic scales raised the
average scale for all building-trades workers to
$5.68 an hour; for journeymen to $6, and for helpers
and laborers to $4.47 (table 6).

The gain in average hourly scales during the
survey year (6.6 percent) was the largest since
the 3 years immediately following World War II,
and was considerably higher than the 5.6-percent
advance registered in the year ending July 1, 1967.
It increased the Bureau’ s index of union hourly
wage scales to 154.1 (1957-59 = 100) as of July 1,
1968 (table 1). The index for journeymen rose to
153.4, and for helpers and laborers, to 158.8.

Straight-time workweek schedules averaged 39.2
hours on July 1,1968, for all building-trades workers
combined (table 5). A 40-hour weekly schedule
was in effect for 5 out of 6 workers. Weekly
schedules of 35 hours, covering nearly all of the
remaining workers, were typically reported in
Detroit, Newark, New York City, and San Francisco-Oakland (table 15).

During the year ending July 1, 1968, about 97
percent of the surveyed workers benefited from
upward scale adjustments, which varied from less
than 10 cents to more than $1 an hour. One-sixth
o f the building tradesmen received scale increases
o f 10 to 20 cents an hour; three-tenths, 20 to 30
cents an hour; one-fifth, 30 to 40 cents an hour;
and one-eighth, 40 to 50 cents an hour. Almost onesixth of the workers had hourly advances of at least
50 cents, including some building tradesmen in each
of the 33 surveyed trades (table 9).

Scope and Method of Study
Union scales are determined by collective
bargaining between trade union and employers, and
defined as (1) the basic (minimum) wage scale
(excluding holiday, vacation, or other benefit pay­
ments regularly made or credited to the worker
each pay period), and (2) the maximum schedules
of hours at straight-time rates. Rates in excess of
the negotiated minimum, which may be paid for
special qualifications or other reasons, are not
included.

In percentage term s, the increase for building
tradesmen varied from 4 to 6 percent for threetenths of the craftsmen and from 6 to 8 percent
for one-fifth. Advances of less than 4 percent were
registered for almost one-fifth of the workers,
and of 10 percent or more for about one-sixth
(table 8).




The information presented in this bulletin was
based on union scales in effect on July 1, 1968,
and covered approximately 725,000 journeymen and
190,000 helpers and laborers in 68 cities having

1

2
populations of 100,000 or m ore. Data were obtained
prim arily from local union officials by mail question­
naire; in some instances, Bureau economists visited
local union officials to obtain the desired information.
The current survey was designed to reflect union
wage scales in the building construction industry in
all cities having a population of 100,000 or more,
excluding Honolulu. All cities having a population of
a half million or more were included, as were most
cities in the 250,000-500,000 group. The cities in
the 100,000-250,000 group selected for study were
distributed widely throughout the United States.
Data for some cities were weighted to compensate
for cities not surveyed. To provide appropriate
representation in the combination of data, each




geographic region was considered separately when
city weights were assigned.
Average hourly scales, designed to show current
levels, were based on all scales reported in effect
on July 1, 1968. 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 centsper-hour and percent changes were based on com ­
parable quotations for the various occupational
classification in both periods, weighted by the
membership reported in the current (1968) survey.
The index series, designed for trend purposes, was
constructed sim ilarly.
