B uilding Trades, Ju ly 1,1 9 7 0
Hourly wage rates for union building-trades workers,
in cities with 100,000 inhabitants or more, averaged
$6.18 on July 1, 1970— up 64 cents, or 11.6 percent,
over the previous year. The percentage increase in
average rates exceeded that for the 1968-69 period
(8.3 percent) and was the largest annual advance since
1945-46 (14.4 percent).
Beginning July 1970, the wage-rate index for build­
ing-trades workers was calculated on a 1967=100 base
period; the base previously used was 1957-59=100.
On the new base (1967=100), the index for July 1970
is 128.81
Nearly all the workers surveyed received wage-rate
increases during the year ending July 1, 1970. The
amount of the increases varied considerably— nearly
one-sixth of the workers received increases of less than
6 percent, while a slightly larger proportion were granted
wage adjustments of 17 percent or more. (See table 8.)
Cents-per-hour increases during the year are presented
in table 9.
Since 1960, union wage rates for construction work­
ers advanced at an annual rate of 5.5 percent. The
annual rate of increase amounted to 3.8 percent for
the first half of the decade, compared with 7.2 percent
for the 1965-70 period. The following tabulation shows
the pattern of increases for all building-trades workers

table 6.) The range in average wage rates for the nine
helper and laborer classifications included in the survey
was from $5.46 an hour for terrazzo workers’ helpers
to $3.65 for composition roofers’ helpers. Building
laborers, who constitute about three-fourths of the
workers in the helper-laborer classifications, averaged
$4.78 an hour.
Many labor-management agreements for the building
trades provide for employer payments to insurance
(health and welfare), pensions, and vacation plans. When
these payments were added to the basic wage rates, the
average for all building-trades workers on July 1, 1970,
was $6.97 an hour. Corresponding averages were $7.39
for journeymen and $5.47 for helpers and laborers. The
following table shows the importance of employer con­
tributions to specified funds as a percent of wage rates
for 1965 and 1970 for all workers, journeymen, helpers
and laborers, and for selected trades.2
Straight-time workweek schedules averaged 39.2 hours
on July 1, 1970, for all building-trades workers com­
bined. (See table 5.) A 40-hour weekly schedule was in
effect for about 4 of every 5 w orkers. Weekly
work schedules of 35 hours, covering nearly all of the
remaining workers, were typically reported in Detroit,
Newark, New York City, and San Francisco—Oakland.
(See table 15.)

Union wage rates and hours are determined by col­
lective bargaining between trade unions and employers,
and are defined as (1) the basic (minimum) rates, exclud­
ing holiday, vacation, or other benefit payments regu­
larly made 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

1 The all trades-index was 186.3 on the 1957-59 base. The
U.S. Office of Management and Budget established the new base
period for use by Federal Government statistical agencies in line
with a long-standing policy that index bases be updated period­
ically. The change in base period does not affect percentage
changes in the index over time, except for rounding differences.
2 The Bureau first developed average employer contributions
per hour in 1965.

Among the 24 journeymen trades studied, average
wage rates ranged from $7.01 an hour for plumbers to
$5.81 for slate and tile roofers on July 1, 1970. (See

for study were distributed widely throughout the United
States. Data for some cities were weighted to com­
pensate for cities not surveyed. To provide appropriate
representation in the combination of data, each region
was considered separately when city weights were
assigned.
Average hourly wage rates, designed to show current
levels, were based on all rates reported in effect on
July 1, 1970. Individual rates were weighted by the
number of union members at the rate. These averages
are not designed for precise year-to-year comparisons
because of fluctuations in membership and in job
classifications studied. Average cents-per-hour and per­
cent changes were based on comparable quotations for
the various occupational classifications in both periods,
weighted by the membership reported in the current
(1970) survey. The index series, designed for trend pur­
poses, was constructed similarly.

The information presented in this bulletin was based
on union rates in effect on July 1, 1970, and covered
approximately 760,000 journeymen and 205,000 helpers
and laborers in 68 cities actually surveyed. 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.
Based on the 1960 Census of Population, the current
survey was designed to reflect union wage rates in build­
ing construction 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 to 500,000 group.
