Wage rates and hours presented are those in effect the first workday in July, as reported to the Bureau by the appropriate labor organization officials in each of the surveyed cities. Preliminary listings of union wage rates and hours for construction employees in each city were issued earlier. Copies of these are available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D.C. 20212, or from any of its regional offices listed on the inside back cover of this bulletin. This study of construction wage rates was conducted in the Bureau’s Office of Wages and Industrial Rela tions. This bulletin was prepared by Mark Sieling in the Division of Occupational Wage Structures. It provides a comprehensive account of the current study and in cludes indexes of union wage rates for building trades employees for 1907-77. Field work for the survey was conducted by the Bureau’s Assistant Regional Com missioners for Operations.

Both types of contractors generally employed workers in only a few of the building trades, the number depending, in large part, on the level of building activity. Of the 25 journeymen trades studied, carpenters were the largest group, constituting just under three tenths of all journeymen. Other numerically important journeyman crafts were electricians, painters, pipefit ters, plumbers, and sheet-metal workers. Among the nine helper-labor classifications, building laborers ac counted for just over seven-tenths of the union mem bership.2 Union workers in the construction industry are organized by craft unions with local jurisdiction over their specific type of work, such as carpentry or tile lay ing. Although usually highly localized and specialized, some union bargaining contains multitrade, national, and regional elements. The same union, for example, often represents two or more allied trades, such as bricklayers and stonemasons, or painters, paperhangers, and drywall tapers. Some unions, such as the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, in clude nationwide provisions in local contracts; others like elevator constructors, tie their wage rates to an average of several key trades within an area. Multiarea or regional bargaining encompassing several trades also occurs in various parts of the country. Summary Union wage rates in the building trades increased by an average of 5.9 percent between July 1, 1976, and July 1, 1977, in cities of 100,000 inhabitants or more. Excluding the 1972-73 increase of 5 percent, which oc curred during a period of wage controls, the 197677 increase was the smallest reported over the past decade. By comparison, a 6.9 percent increase was reported for the same 12 months in the Bureau’s Employment Cost Index—a new measure that covers total compensation for all workers in private nonfarm industries. The July 1976-77 national average increase for journeymen was 5.8 percent, compared to 6.4 percent for helpers and laborers. Wage rates for journeymen averaged $10.44 an hour on July 1, 1977; helpers and laborers, $8.03 an hour. Regionally, increases were highest in the Mountain States (8.3 percent) and lowest in New England (3.2 percent). When cities were grouped by population size, the 1976-77 increase was highest (6.8 percent) for the size group containing cities with half a million to a million inhabitants and lowest (5.1 percent) in cities with a million or more. Increases varied considerably however, among individual cities and trades within regional and city size groupings. Average employer contributions to insurance, pen sion, and vacation funds totaled $2.18 an hour on July 1, 1977—about 18 percent of the basic wage plus benefit package. The addition of employer payments for holidays, savings funds, and supplemental unemployment benefits raised the benefit average to $2.26 an hour — still about 18 percent of the total com pensation package, as measured by the survey. Wage trends Union members covered by this survey were pri marily engaged in the construction of commercial and residential buildings.1 These workers were usually employed by either general contractors involved in multiple building activities, including site manage ment; or by special trades contractors typically engaged The overall wage rate increase of 5.9 percent be tween July 1, 1976, and July 1, 1977, raised the Bureau’s wage rate index (1967 =100) for the 34 con struction job classifications studied to 212.3 (table 1) Although wage rates have more than doubled since 1967, average annual increases were substantially higher in the 1967-72 period (8.9 percent per year) than during the 1972-77 span (6.7 percent). As a further indication of dampened wage gains, increases during 1975-77 were the lowest of the past decade, ex cluding the 1971-73 period of wage controls (text table ’Wage rates for workers in heavy and highway construction are shown in table 20. These rates, however, were not used in calculat ing any of the indexes or averages in other tables in this bulletin. Also excluded from the survey indexes and averages are wage rates for operating engineers shown in the building construction section of table 20. 2For a more detailed account of the characteristics of the construc tion industry, see Industry Wage Survey: Contract Construction, September 1973, Bulletin 1911 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1975), pp. 1-11, and Contract Clauses in Construction Agreements, Bulletin 1864 (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 1975). Industry characteristics 1 regional increases were first computed, average wage rates for all trades combined have increased 44 to 50 percent in the Mountain States, Pacific, and Southwest regions; 33 to 39 percent in the Border States, Great Lakes, Middle Atlantic, Middle West, and Southwest regions; and 26 percent in New England. Annual and cumulative increases by trade, however, varied con siderably within each region. Among the 66 cities studied separately, Miami reported the smallest average wage rate increase be tween July 1, 1976, and July 1, 1977—0.6 percent,4 and Honolulu the largest— 13.6 percent (table 18). The 1976-77 increase was mghest tor cities witn nan a million to a million inhabitants (6.8 percent) and lowest for those with a million or more (5.1 percent). Reflect ing the localized nature of most bargaining agreements, however, increases varied widely within regions, States, and city size groups (table 19). For example, increases among California cities ranged from 2.9 percent in Los Angeles to 9.8 percent in San Diego. Text table 1.

Wage rates increased for slightly over nine-tenths of the union building trades workers over the year ended July 1, 1977. Just over one-fourth of the work force had increases between 2 and 5 percent; one third, 5 to 8 per cent; and one-fourth, 8 percent or more (table 8). Ex pressed in money terms, increases amounted to 20 to 50 cents an hour for about one-fourth of the membership; to 50 to 80 cents for about two-fifths; and 80 cents or more for the remaining one-fourth (table 7). Among the 34 trades studied, the largest percentage increase in wages between July 1, 1976, and July 1, 1977, was reported for slate and tile roofers— 10.2 per cent—and the lowest for com position roofers’ helpers—2.6 percent (table 6). Average wage rates for carpenters, the largest journeyman trade studied, in creased by 5.3 percent while rates for building laborers, the predominant helper-laborer classification, in creased by 6.4 percent. Most other trades reported in creases of 5 to 7 percent. Over the past decade, slate and tile roofers also had the largest percentage increase in wage rates — averaging 8.7 percent per year ; raising their wage rate index (1967=100) to 229.7 in 1977 (ta ble 2). The smallest total increase over the same period was for mosaic and terrazzo workers—averaging 7 per cent per year; making their 1977 wage rate index 196.0 Regionally, building trades in the Mountain States reported the largest average wage rate increase be tween July 1, 1976, and July 1, 1977—8.3 percent (ta ble 13). The smallest increase was reported for New England—3.2 percent. Since July 1, 1972, when Trade averages Union wage rates in the building trades averaged $10.02 an hour on July 1, 1977 (table 5). Journeymen averaged $10.44 and helpers and laborers, $8.03. The difference in average wage rates between these two skill levels declined slightly between July 1976 and July 1977—from 32 to 31 percent.5 Since 1960, the wage advantage of skilled workers over unskilled workers has remained basically unchanged at about 33 percent, after declining fairly steadily from about 90 percent in the 1930’s (chart). Among the 25 journeymen trades studied in the 1977 survey, average wage rates were highest for elevator constructors ($11.22) and pipefitters ($11.15) and lowest for drywall tapers ($9.70). Carpenters, account ing for about three-tenths of all journeymen, averaged $10.25. Average hourly rates for the nine helperlaborer classifications ranged from $8.58 for tile layers’ helpers to $6.41 for composition roofers’ helpers. Building laborers, the largest helper-laborer trade studied, averaged $7.96. All but about 6 percent of the union members in the 4Only two-thirds of Miami’s building trades workers received wage rate increases between surveys. Other cities also reported no increases, or small increases, for significant proportions of union building trades workers. Albany, New Bedford, and St. Petersburg, for example, had wage gains of 2 percent or less in 1976-77. 5To minimize the effects of changes in membership composition of the two major groups, journeymen’s wages and helpers’ and laborers’ wages were “standardized” by weighting the 1967 average wage rates for these 2 groups by levels of their wage indexes (1967=100) in the years being studied. For example, the standardized wage rate for journeymen in 1977 was computed as follows: $5.09 (wage in 1967) weighted by 211.9 (index for 1977) yields $10.79. The comparable figure for helpers and laborers, $3.83, weighted by 214.8 yields $8.23. The differential is thus 31 percent. information on a somewhat more limited scale indicates that the pace of construction increases has remained fairly constant during the year following the July 1, 1977, annual study. The Bureau’s quarterly survey of seven major building trades showed an average increase of 5.9 percent over the year ended July 1, 1978. The trades included in the survey account for almost two-thirds of the union membership in the 34 trades within the scope of the annual study. 2 building trades were under labor-management agree ments providing wage rates ranging from $6.70 to $12.40 an hour; the middle 50 percent of the array fell between $9.25 and $11.03. The distribution of workers by various earnings intervals, however, varied by trade (table 9). For example, carpenters and lathers had almost identical averages—$10.25 and $10.26—but 34 percent of the carpenters, compared to 25 percent of the lathers, had rates of at least $11 per hour.

Regional and city averages Among the nine regions studied, average wage rates were highest in the Pacific region—$10.54—and lowest in the Southeast—$8.56 (table 11). When fringe benefit payments were added to wages (table 12), the differentials between these regions grew from 23 to 44 percent reflecting, in part, the relatively smaller payments by employers to benefit funds in lower paying regions. Other relatively high paying regions were the Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic while the Southwest and the Southeast were the lowest paying in most instances. When cities were grouped by population size, average rates plus employer benefit payments were highest for cities of at least a million inhabitants and lowest for those having populations of 100,000 to 250,000 (table 14). City size, however, seemed less im portant than other factors, such as location or variation in bargaining conditions among union locals, in deter mining wage rates. When cities are grouped by region (table 15), for example, the percent differences be tween the highest and lowest city averages within each region were significantly smaller, in most cases, than the spread between groups of cities of a similar size but of differing regions. The relative importance of location in determining wage rates also was evident when separ ate wage plus benefit averages for journeymen and for helpers and laborers were grouped by city size and regional location (tables 16 and 17). $ 4.83 5.14 5.54 6.18 6.88 7.27 7.62 8.14 8.88 9.48 10.02 $ 0.4 4 .54 .64 .80 .95 1.06 1.21 1.45 1.68 1.95 2.18 $ .5.27 5.68 6.17 6.97 7.82 8.34 8.83 9.59 10.56 11.43 12.20 8.3 9.5 10.4 11.5 12.1 12.7 13.7 15.1 15.9 17.1 17.9 Journeyman trades 1967 .............................. 1968 .............................. 1969 .............................. 1970 .............................. 1 9 7 1 .............................. 1972 .............................. 1973 .............................. 1974 .............................. 1975 .............................. 1976 .............................. 1977 .............................. $ 5.09 5.43 5.87 6.54 7.28 7.69 8.02 8.55 9.32 9.92 10.44 $0.4 7 .58 .68 .84 .99 1.10 1.26 1.50 1.74 2.02 2.29 $ 5.55 6 .0 0 6.54 7.39 8.27 8.79 9.28 10.05 11.06 11.94 12.73 8.5 9.7 10.4 11.4 12.0 12.5 13.6 14.9 15.7 16.9 17.9 Helper and laborer classifications 1967 .............................. 1968 .............................. 1969 .............................. 1970 .............................. 1 9 7 1 .............................. 1972 .............................. 1973 .............................. 1974 ........... .............. 1975 .............................. 1976 .............................. 1977 .............................. $ 3.83 4.05 4.3 3 4.86 5.43 5.68 6.0 6 6.53 7.06 7.54 8.03 $ 0.3 6 .42 .49 .61 .78 .92 1.02 1.25 1.44 1.64 1.71 $ 4.19 4.47 4.82 5.47 6.22 6.61 7.08 7.79 8.51 9.18 9.74 8.6 9.4 10.2 11.2 12.5 13.9 14.4 16.0 16.9 17.9 17.6 NOTE: Because o f rounding, sum of wage rate and benefit may not equal wage rate plus benefit. The proportion of insurance, pension, and vacation benefits to the basic wage plus benefit package varied by geographic location. The Pacific region reported the highest proportion—24 percent—and the Southeast and Southwest the lowest— 11 percent. Benefit pay ments were typically least significant for cities in the Border States, Middle West, Southeast, and Southwest, usually making up 9 to 14 percent of the overall package. In all nine California cities studied, the pro portion of benefits to basic wages and benefits was from 23 to 26 percent, while only in Detroit, Honolulu, and New York City, among the other cities studied, did the proportion reach 23 percent. Average employer payments for holidays, savings funds, and supplemental unemployment benefits were tabulated for the first time in this 1977 study. Their ad dition to insurance, pension, and vacation payments Employee benefits Payments to insurance, pension, and vacation funds continued to increase in relative importance (text table 2). On July 1, 1977, employer contributions for these benefits amounted to nearly 18 percent of the wage plus benefit average of $12.20 per hour for all building trades, compared to 17 percent in 1976. (In 1965, when benefits were first studied, the ratio was 7 percent.) This proportion increased by 1 to 2 full percentage points over the year in 36 of the 65 cities studied in both periods and by 3 points or more in 5 cities; in Akron, Fresno, Nashville, and Salt Lake City the proportion declined, usually by less than 2 percentage points.6 6For this tabulation, Minneapolis and St. Paul were considered as one city. Employer benefit payment 3 Average hourly wage rates for journeymen as a percent of rates for helpers and laborers, all building trades, 1907-77 Percent raised the average employer contribution to benefits by 3.7 percent to $2.26 an hour. (See appendix A.) The relationship of benefits to basic wages plus benefits, however, remained at 18 percent. tion. Differentials by types of construction, when they occurred, were more common for carpenters, cement finishers, operating engineers, and laborers than for structural-iron workers. Weekly hours Wage rates by type of construction Straight-time hours averaged 39.3 per week on July 1, 1977, the same as in 1976 (table 10). Overall, 85 percent of the union members within the scope of the survey had straight-time weekly work schedules of 40 hours, while most of the remainder were scheduled for 35 hours. The number of weekly hours required before overtime premiums were paid had changed very little since 1967, as shown in tables 3 and 4. Wage rates, hours, and selected benefit payments for unionized workers in each of the 66 cities studied are presented by type of construction in table 20. Rates for street and highway and other heavy construction were usually the same as, or slightly lower than, rates for the same trade in the building sector; most workers were completely mobile among these three types of construc 4 Table 1.

Averages presented are for a straight-time hour; in actual practice, however, some employer payments are calculated for total hours worked or gross payroll. Average refers to all workers in the classification, including those for whom employer contributions were not specified in their particular contracts. Such situations were included in the average computation as zero contributions. Some contracts also provide additional payments to other funds such as apprenticeship and unemployment benefits. Information on payments to these funds was not collected. NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. 11 NOTE: Variations in the size of annual increases from survey to survey may reflect, in part, timing of negotiations in relation to the July 1 survey reference date. Increases indi cated reflect rates available and payable on the survey date, and do not include increases made later that are retroactive to July 1 or before. Such retroactive increases are included in the wage rates reported in the following year’s survey. Table 7.

Such retroactive increases are included in the wage rates reported in the following year’s survey. Dash indicates no data reported. 1 Less than 0.05 percent. NOTE: Cents-per-hour and percent changes were calculated by averaging year-to-year increases with year-to-year decreases and no-change situations, weighted by current-year membership. Thus, relatively small increases may reflect the inclusion of cities where rates declined or remained unchanged for a trade. 27 Table 19.

Appendix A. A Note on New Benefit Tabulations Because of the growing importance of funds for holi days, savings, and supplemental unemployment benefits in the construction industry, the Bureau is ex panding its definition of wages plus benefits to include contributions to these three funds in addition to the in surance, pension, and vacation contributions. Begin ning with the July 1, 1978, survey, this six-benefit method of computing average employer benefit con tributions will replace the current three-benefit for mula. On July 1, 1977, average employer contributions for holidays, insurance, pensions, savings funds, supple mental unemployment benefits, and vacations totaled $2.26— 18 percent of the basic wage plus six-benefit package (table A-l). The difference between average contributions for these six benefits and contributions for the three benefits previously tabulated—insurance, pension, and vacation —was 8 cents for all trades. It usually amounted to between 2 and 10 cents an hour for each trade; the largest differences—15 to 30 cents—were reported for boilermakers, electri cians, elevator constructors and helpers, glaziers, plumbers, and sheet-metal workers. The relationships among regional and city averages based on wages pftus six benefits did not differ significantly from those for wages plus three benefits, as outlined in the main text. (See table A-2 through A-6). Table A-1.

Information on payments to these funds was not included in these tabulations. 2 See table A-2, footnote 2, for definitions of regions. Population size is shown in parentheses as follows: Group I = 1,000,000 or more; Group II = 500,000 to 1,000,000; Group III = 250,000 to 500,000; and Group IV = 100,000 to 250,000. 1 Includes employer contributions to insurance (life insurance, hospitali zation, medical, surgical, and other similar types of health and welfare programs); pension funds; vacation payments; supplemental unemploy ment benefits; savings funds; and paid holidays, as provided in labormanagement contracts. Averages presented are for a straight-time hour; in actual practice, however, some employer payments are calculated for total hours worked or gross payroll. Average refers to all workers in the classification, including those for whom employer contributions were not specified in their particular contracts. Such situations were included in the average computation as zero contributions. NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals. 179 Appendix B. Scope and M ethod of Survey Union wage rates and hours reported in this bulletin were agreed on through collective bargaining between trade unions and employers and are defined as (1) the basic (minimum) rates (excluding holiday, vacation, or other benefit payments made regularly or credited to the worker each pay period), and (2) the maximum number of weekly hours at straight-time rates. Wage rates exceeding the negotiated minimum, which may be paid for special qualifications or other reasons, are excluded. Thus, rates shown do not represent total hourly earnings of building trades workers. Information presented for the building trades is based on union rates in effect on July 1, 1977, covering approximately 597,000 journeymen and 127,000 helpers and laborers in the 66 cities surveyed. Data were obtained from local union officials by mail ques tionnaire; in some instances, Bureau economists visited local union officials to obtain the desired information. The survey was designed to reflect union wage rates in building construction in all cities of 100,000 inhabi tants or more (1970 Census of Population). All cities that had 500,000 inhabitants or more were studied separately, as were most cities with 250,000 to 500,000 inhabitants. Data for some cities were weighted to com pensate for cities not surveyed. In order to provide ap propriate regional representation, each region was con sidered separately when city weights were assigned. Average wage rates, designed to show current levels, were based on building trades wage rates in each city as of July 1, 1977. The wage rates were weighted by the number of union members at the rate in the area. These averages were not designed for precise year-to-year comparisons because of fluctuations in membership in the job classifications studied. Average cents-per-hour and percent changes from July 1, 1976, to July 1, 1977, however, were based on comparable quotations for the various job classifications in both periods, weighted by the membership reported for the current (1977) survey. The index series, designed for trend purposes, was con structed similarly. Wage and hour information is presented in table 20 for workers in street and highway and other heavy con struction (including railroads, tunnels, subways, ele vated highways, viaducts, dams, bridges, reservoirs, hydroelectric projects, pipelines, transmission and telephone lines, radio towers, etc.). These rates were not used to calculate averages or indexes in this publication. 180 Keep Abreast of Employment, Wages, Prices, Productivity, with BLS Periodicals Subscriptions to BLS periodicals are available from Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D.
