Wages and Related Benefits
Introduction
Occupational earnings and related wage benefits data
presented herein have been summarized from community wage surveys
conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in AO major labor
markets between September 1951 and May 1952, 1/ Occupations com­
mon to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries
were studied on a community-wide basis in each of these areas.
Gross-industry methods of sampling were utilized in compiling
earnings data for the following types of occupations:
office
clerical; professional aod technical; maintenance and power plant;
custodial, warehousing, and shipping. In presenting earnings in­
formation for such jobs,
separate data were provided wherever
possible for individual major industry divisions. Data were also
collected and summarized on supplementary wage benefits such as
vacation and sick leave allowances, paid holidays, nonproduction
bonuses, and insurance and pension plans.
The Bureau's community wage study program is designed
to meet a variety of governmental and nongovernmental uses of in­
formation on occupational earnings and related benefits. The areas
covered in this report were selected for study in consultation
with the Wage Stabilization Board. For the most part these areas
rank among the Nation's largest metropolitan areas and range in
size from New York City to Trenton, N. J. The combined population
of the AO areas exceeded 52 million, accounting for fully threefifths of the aggregate population of the Nation's 168 metropoli­
tan areas having a minimum population of 100,000 and a central
city of at least 50,000 population. Twenty-eight States were rep­
resented, permitting an examination of inter-regional as well as
intra-regional variations in pay levels in this report. More than
10 million workers were employed in the industries and establish­
ment-size groups studied. 2/
The industrial composition of the areas studied varied
substantially. Manufacturing industries employed more than half
the workers in each of the New England and Middle Atlantic areas
(except New York City) and in the areas studied in the Middle West.
Nonmanufacturing industries employed a majority of the wage and
salary workers in New York City and all southern areas except Bir­
mingham and western areas except Los Angeles. Data are presented
in this report separately for six industry divisions as well as
on a n all-industry basis.

i / Bulletin reports issued for individual areas
(see listing
on last page) include greater detail than it was possible to pre­
sent in this summary report.
These reports also provide earnings
data for occupations characteristic cf particular, important local
industries.

40 Labor Markets
Unionization

With the exception of a few of the areas, mostly in
the South, a majority of the plant workers were covered by col­
lective-bargaining agreements;
only in five areas were as many
as a fifth of the office workers employed in establishments
that operated under terms of union agreements covering such
workers. jj[/ On an all-industry basis union agreement coverage
of plant workers ranged from a third in Atlanta, Jacksonville,
and Oklahoma City to nine-tenths or more in Detroit, Pittsburgh,
San Francisco-Qakland, and Seattle.
The proportion of plant workers covered by union
agreements in manufacturing exceeded that in nonmanufacturing
in most areas. Of 39 areas for which estimates of unionization
are available, three-fourths or more of the plant workers in
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing were covered in 25 and 7
areas, respectively.
By way of contrast, less than 50 percent
were covered by agreements in manufacturing in only 3 areas but
in nonmanufacturing in 19 areas. Among office workers, union
agreement coverage tended to be somewhat greater in nonmanufac­
turing, partly because of the substantial numbers of covered
workers in public utilities.

Rate Structure

Formalized rate structures for time-rated plant workers
were reported in establishments employing four-fifths or more
of the total plant employment in 31 of the A0 areas, being vir­
tually universal in the Pacific Coast areas and in Detroit.
Providence, Scranton, and the southern areas, with the exception
of Birmingham and Atlanta, were the only ones in which as many
as a fifth of the plant workers were employed in establishments
that determined time rates on an individual basis.
Plans providing single rates as well as a range of
rates for individual occupations were reported in each of the
areas.
In many of the areas workers were fairly evenly distri­
buted among establishments having one or the other type of plan.
Notable exceptions were Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton, Detroit,
Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Seattle, in all of which
areas three-fifths or more of the plant workers were in estab­
lishments with single rate plans. Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, and
Rochester were the only areas in which as many as three-fifths
of the plant employees were in establishments providing formal
rate ranges.

3 / See appendix for
worker employment.

definitions of plant worker and office

Among the broad industry groups studied, the largest
proportion of plant workers employed in establishments with
formal wage plans was in manufacturing and public utilities.
Substantial numbers of workers in other industry groups, on the
other hand, were employed in establishments that determined
wage rates on an individual basis.

Formalized wage structures for office workers were
somewhat less prevalent than those for plant workers and were
mostly confined to plans providing rate ranges for individual
occupations. In most of the areas, between a half and threefourths of the total office employment was in establishments
having formal wage plans for office workers.
These plans were
least common in the southern areas where frequently more than
half the workers were in establishments determining salaries of
office workers on an individual basis.

Incentive methods of wage payment were limited almost
entirely to plant workers and for the most part to those in
manufacturing industries. Among the areas studied, the propor­
tion of manufacturing plant workers that was classified as in­
centive workers ranged from less than a tenth in Houston, Okla­
homa City,
Salt Lake City, Phoenix, and Seattle to slightly
more than half in Allentown, Scranton, and Norfolk. A third or
more of the manufacturing plant workers in all of the larger
industrial areas with the exception of Detroit and Los Angeles
(10 and 15 percent, respectively) received pay based on incen­
tive plans.

Occupational Earnings
Although interarea relationships in pay levels varied
somewhat by occupation and industry division, plant and office
workers in the San Francisco-Oakland area and Detroit were the
highest paid and held a wage advantage amounting to 25 percent
or more in many cases over workers in comparable jobs in some
of the other areas studied.
To illustrate, area average hourly
earnings for stock handlers ranged, on a regional basis, as
follows: New England— from (1.25 in Hartford and Providence to
$1.37 in Boston; Middle Atlantic— from $1.29 in Scranton to
$1.49 in Pittsburgh;
South— from 86 cents in Jacksonville to
$1.12 in Oklahoma City; Middle West— from $1.23 in Louisville
to $1.64 in Detroit; and Far West— from $1.27 in Phoenix to
$1.66 in San Franeisco-Qakland. Average weekly salaries for
women performing general stenographic work ranged in: New Eng­
land— from $43 in Providence to $48 in Hartford; Middle At­
lantic— from $41 in Scranton to $52 in New York City; South—
from $45 in Oklahoma City to $51.50 in Houston; Middle West—
from $45.50 in Minneapolis-St. Paul to $57.50 in Detroit; and,
Far West— from $45*50 in Salt Lake City to $57 in s&n Francisco
Oakland.



Differences between the lowest and highest area aver­
ages for office jobs were noticeably smaller than for plant
jobs. Stenographers in Detroit, for example} averaged 40 per­
cent more than in Scranton; whereas, stock handlers in the San
Francisco Bay area were paid 93 percent more than in Jackson­
ville.
The interarea wage spread for the skilled maintenance
trade jobs studied was much narrower than for stock handlers
and other work categories related to custodial, warehousing,
and shipping functions.
Average earnings for comparable occupations were usu­
ally higher in manufacturing than in nonmanufacturing •
The
average for general stenographers in manufacturing exceeded the
all-nonmanufacturing average in 37 of the 40 areas, with indi­
vidual city wage differences ranging from 50 cents to $8.50 a
week. Averages for secretaries employed in manufacturing ex­
ceeded the nonmanufacturing average in all but six of the areas,
with differences ranging from 50 cents to $9*50 a week. A less
consistent relationship was found among plant jobs.
Janitors
in manufacturing establishments averaged more in each area than
those in nonmanufacturing industries; averages for maintenance
electricians, on the other hand, were higher in nonmanufacturing
in about half the areas for which comparisons were possible.
Wages and salaries of workers in the transportation,
communication, and other public utilities group were usually
higher than those in any of the other broad nonmanufacturing
industry groups within the scope of the survey.
Occupational
averages in this industry group were, in fact, frequently equal
to or higher than those in manufacturing. General stenographers
employed by public utilities averaged more than those in manu­
facturing in about half the cities.
Earnings of individual workers in the jobs studied
were widely dispersed within each industry division and area. (J
Highest earnings generally exceeded lowest earnings by amounts
that exceeded the differences between the highest and lowest
areas averages for the same jobs. This dispersion of individual
earnings can be attributed to variation in earnings within
individual establishments, and differences in pay levels among
establishments within the same industry and among industries.

Related Benefits
Paid holidays were granted to virtually all office
workers and to the vast majority of the plant workers in all
but a few of the communities surveyed.
Six days were most com­
monly provided to both plant and office workers. Workers in the

ed in the report issued separately for each area.

four New England areas. New York City and adjacent Newark-Jersey
City, and the areas of the Far West generally received the most
liberal holiday benefits, with large numbers of office and plant
workers receiving 7 or more days. A substantial proportion of
workers in four southern areas
(Atlanta, Birmingham, Jackson­
ville, and Memphis) was employed in establishments providing
fever than six paid holidays*
Holiday provisions in each area tended to be somewhat
more liberal for office workers than for plant employees.
The
comparatively small proportion of plant workers employed in es­
tablishments with holiday provisions in Birmingham and Pitts­
burgh reflects the fact that at the time of the survey the steel
industry did not provide paid holidays; recently, however, these
benefits were negotiated and workers currently receive 6 days
annually.
Among the broad industry divisions included within the
scope of the surveys, holiday provisions were most liberal in
the finance,
insurance, and real estate division. A majority
of the workers employed in these industries received 7 or more
days a year with pay in three-fourths of the areas studied and
in 15 of the areas workers commonly received 11 or more days
annually.

Paid vacations were provided to nearly all plant and
office workers, subject to minimum service requirements. Office
workers typically received longer vacations than plant employ­
ees, the former usually being granted a 2-weeks1 vacation with
pay after a year of service, whereas plant workers customarily
received a week's vacation after a corresponding length of
service.
Formal provisions for 3-weeks1 paid vacation after 15
y e a r s ' service applied to a substantial proportion of both plant
and office workers. Provisions for paid vacations in excess of
3 weeks were negligible, with the exception of those reported
by retail trade establishments in a few cities.




Formal provisions for paid sick leave were in effect
more frequently for office workers than plant employees, al­
though in neither instance was a majority of the workers em­
ployed in establishments providing such benefits.
The propor­
tion of office workers in establishments with sick leave provi­
sions most frequently ranged from a fourth to less than half.
Formal sick leave provisions for plant workers were generally
more common in public utilities and trade industries and least
prevalent in manufacturing.
Christmas or year-end bonus payments were provided by
establishments employing between a fourth and a half of the
total workers In nearly all areas. Among the industry groups
studied, these provisions were usually least prevalent in pub­
lic utilities and generally most common in the trade and fi­
nance industries.
In most areas, the benefits were provided to
a larger proportion of office workers than plant workers. Pro­
fit-sharing plans— either for plant or office workers— were re­
ported in each area; the proportion of workers employed in es­
tablishments with such plans exceeded 10 percent in only a few
areas.
Insurance plans, paid at least in part by the employer,
were available to a large majority of the plant and office
workers in each area.
Frequently, workers were employed in es­
tablishments that paid at least a portion of the premium for two
or more types of insurance. Although life insurance plans were
most prevalent, health and hospitalization plans were also com­
mon in nearly all areas. A slightly larger proportion of office
workers than plant workers were eligible fbr insurance benefits.
Retirement pension plans were available to a majority
of the office workers in three-fourths of the areas and were
available to most plant workers in a fourth of the areas. Topi­
cally, provisions for retirement pensions were most common in
the public utilities group of industries and least prevalent
among the services industries.

G Scope a n d M ethod of Su rve y

The earnings data and supplementary wage practices in­
formation presented in this bulletin have been summarized from
individual reports on community wage surveys conducted in AO
major labor markets between September 1951 aad May 1952
(see
table for payroll period studied in each area)* Data were ob­
tained by visits of Bureau field representatives to establish­
ments in the areals— surveyed*
In classifying workers by occupa­
tion, uniform job-descriptions were used; these are available
upon request*

Six broad industry divisions were covered in each
area in compiling earnings data for the following types of oc­
cupations : (a) office clerical;
(b) professional and techni­
cal;
(c) maintenance and power plant; and (d) custodial, ware­
housing, and shipping*
The covered industry groups are: manu­
facturing;
transportation
(except railroads), communication,
and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; fi­
nance, insurance, and real estate; and services* Although earn­
ings information contained in bulletin reports on individual
area studies includes both averages and distributions of workers
b y earnings classes, data presented herein have been limited to
occupational averages*
Information on supplementary wage bene­
fits has also been summarized in greater detail in reports
issued for each area*
A s indicated in the appendix table, only establish­
ments above a specified size were studied;
smaller establish­
ments were omitted because they furnished insufficient employ­
ment in the occupations studied to warrant their inclusion* A
greater proportion of large than of small establishments was
studied in order to maximize the number of workers surveyed
with available resources*
Each group of establishments of a
certain size, however, was given its proper weight in the com­
bination of data by industry and occupation*
The earnings information excludes premium pay for
overtime and night work*
Nonproduction bonuses are also ex­
cluded, but cost-of-living bonuses and incentive earnings are




61

included* Where weekly earnings are reported
(rounded to the
nearest 50 cents), as for office occupations, they refer to
standard salaries that are paid for standard work schedules*
The number of workers presented refers to the estimated total
employment in all establishments within the scope of the study
and not to the number actually surveyed* Data are shown for
only full-time workers, i*e., those hired to w ork the establish­
ment's full-time schedule for the given occupational classifi­
cation*
The term "office workers" referred to In this bulletin
is defined to include all office clerical employees and excludes
administrative, executive, professional, and technical personnel*
"Plant workers" is defined to include working foremen and all
nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged
in nonoffice functions* Administrative, executive, professional
and technical employees, and force account construction em­
ployees who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded*
Although cafeteria workers, routemen, and installation and re­
pair employees are excluded in manufacturing industries, these
work categories are included as plant workers in nonmanufactur­
ing industries* Data for plant workers were not collected for
the banking and insurance industries*
Information on related wage pxactices refers to all
office and plant workers as specified in the individual tables.
It is presented in terms of the proportion of ell workers em­
ployed in offices (or plant departments) that observe the prac­
tice in question*
Because of eligibility requirements, the
proportion actually receiving the specific benefits may be
smaller* The summary of vacation and sick leave plans is limit­
ed to formal arrangements*
It excludes informal plans whereby
time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the employer
or other supervisor.
Sick leave plans are further limited to
those providing full pay for at least some amount of time off
without an y provision for a waiting period preceding the payment
of benefits*
These plans also exclude health insurance even
though it is paid for by employers. Health insurance is in­
cluded, however, under a separate tabulation*
