Even though

The N o rth ea st, on the

and Boston account fo r o n e-h a lf o f the population in the N orth east;
and C hicago and D e tro it fo r o n e-th ird o f the N orth C en tra l population.
In the South, h o w e v e r, the fiv e la r g e s t areas com bined account fo r

1 Average m o n t h of reference. Data were collected during the period July 1966 through June 1967.
2 Standard hours reflect the wo rk we ek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or p r e m i u m rates), and the earnings
correspond to these weekly hours.
3 The m e a n is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the n u m b e r of workers. The median designates position— half of the employees receive m o r e than
the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn m o r e than
the higher rate.
* Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.
5 Finance, insurance, and real estate.
6 M a y include workers other than those presented separately

Wage Differences Among Metropolitan Areas

In te ra re a d iffe re n c e s in pay le v e ls are examined h ere in
te r m s of a v e ra g e wage rates fo r three occupational groups— offic e
c l e r ic a l, skilled maintenance, and unskilled plant. P a y le v e ls in the
areas studied a re e x p re s s e d as p ercentages of national le v e ls and are
presented in table 1 fo r all industries combined and se p a ra te ly fo r
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing.

the a v e ra g e s tra igh t-tim e hourly earnin gs fo r each of 8 s k illed m a in ­
tenance jobs and 2 unskilled plant jo bs by the a ll- in d u s tr y em ploym en t
in the job in all Standard M e tro p o lita n Sta tistica l A r e a s combined.
The a ggregates w e r e then e x p r e s s e d as p e rc e n ta g e s of like occupa­
tional and industry groups in all (227) m e tro p o lita n areas com bined,
adjusted fo r d ifferen ces in s u rv e y tim ing.

In comparing wage le v e ls between a re a s , examination of a v»
erage earnings fo r the same sp e c ific occupation among areas has been
avoided, since this type of com parison g e n e r a lly shows wage d i f f e r ­
ences between a reas v a ry in g by occupation. A n y of s e v e r a l factors
m ay account fo r this variation. Perh aps fo r e m o s t, occupational a v ­
era g es r e p r e s e n t groups of w o r k e r s in establishments having w id e ly
different pay structures and with d ifferen t needs in te r m s of number
of w o r k e r s and types of occupations. These interestablishm ent d i f f e r ­
ences in the positioning of particu lar jobs in a wage or s a la ry s tr u c ­
ture m ay occur because of d iffe re n c e s in evaluation, c o lle c tiv e
bargaining, or the labor supply situation, and in turn affect the o ccu ­
pational w age le v e l.

Collection of the data f o r the B u r e a u ’ s studies in individual
areas was conducted over the course of a y e a r.
Consequently, the
a rea a vera ges relate to d ifferen t p a y r o ll months throughout this p e ­
riod. In ord er that individual a r e a pay r e l a t i v e s can be co m p a ra b le,
adjustment had to be made f o r d iffe r e n c e s in s u rv e y tim in g.
The
adjustment assumed that the w a ge l e v e l f o r all m e tro p o lita n a rea s
combined increased uniform ly during the 12-month p e r io d f r o m F e b ­
ru ary 1966 to F e b r u a r y 1967.10 Thus, by adding the ap p rop riate num­
ber of monthly wage increm ents to the F e b r u a r y 1966 pay l e v e l , an
estim ate of the nationwide pay l e v e l can be obtained fo r any i n t e r ­
vening month in which an individual a r e a was studied. F o r e xam p le,
an a re a study having a p a y ro ll r e f e r e n c e month of M a rc h 1966 would
be com pared to the nationwide pay l e v e l as of F e b r u a r y 1966, plus
one-twelfth of the annual nationwide w age i n c r e a s e . The national e s ­
tim ates relate to F e b r u a r y 1966 and F e b r u a r y 1967. The a r e a s u r ­
v e y estimates re la te to studies conducted b etw een M a rch 1966 and
F e b r u a r y 1967.

In te r a r e a d iffe re n c e s based upon the occupational groups
included in this study w i l l not n e c e s s a r ily correspon d c lo s e ly to those
obtained by com paring the a v e ra g e s of b roa d er groups, such as all
production w o r k e r s in manufacturing or f o r sp e c ific industries.
W hereas in te r a r e a d iffe re n c e s in pay fo r production w o r k e r s m ay,
in som e situations, l a r g e l y r e f l e c t d iffe re n c e s in occupational and skill
composition of the production labor fo r c e or in the incidence and na­
ture of incentive pay plans, such influence is alm ost c o m p le te ly e l i m ­
inated in the in te r a r e a com parison by basing the pay r e la t iv e s on a
constant lis t of jobs.

Because the a rea pay r e l a t i v e s fo r each occupational and in ­
dustry group are d e riv e d fr o m a co m p a ris o n with s i m i l a r occupa­
tional and industry groups in all m e tro p o lita n a rea s combined, the
pay r e la t iv e representing all industry is not n e c e s s a r i l y the a v e r a g e
of the corresponding manufacturing and nonmanufacturing r e l a t i v e s .
F o r exam ple, the all-in d u stry r e la t iv e f o r o f f ic e c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s in
San Jose is 111 while both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing had
the same r e la tiv e , 109.
This is in contrast to the n orm al expected
relationship of an av e ra g e fa llin g at or s o m e w h e r e between the e x ­
t r e m e s of its components.

The use of a v e ra g e s fo r the same group of jobs in each a rea,
together with a constant employment rela tionship betw een jobs in all
a rea s, elim inates in te r a r e a d iffe re n c e s in occupational com position
as a factor in examining pay le v e ls .

In te ra re a Comparisons

Method of Computing A r e a P a y R e la tives

Wage le v e ls d iffe re d w id e ly among the 85 m e tro p o lita n a rea s
surveyed; average rates fo r unskilled plant w orkers- in the highest
pay a re a being alm ost double those in the lo w est.
The m a xim u m
in te ra re a wage spread f o r o ffic e c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s and s k illed m a in ­
tenance w o r k e r s amounted to 40 and 57 p ercen t, r e s p e c t iv e ly .

The individual a rea pay r e la t iv e is a percen tage exp re s s io n
of the nationwide pay le v e l. F o r exam ple , a r e la tiv e of 80 indicates
that an a r e a ’ s pay l e v e l is 80 percent of the nationwide pay le v e l or
20 percent below the national le v e l.

N e a r l y a ll of the areas having a b o v e -a v e r a g e pay le v e ls had
la r g e numbers of w o r k e r s in what are g e n e ra lly considered high-wage
industrie s.
T h e s e include transportation equipment (automobiles or
a i r c r a f t ) , p e tr o le u m refin in g , chem icals, steel, and rubber.
On the
other hand, a re a s having la r g e concentrations of w o r k e r s in te x tile s ,
apparel, fo o tw e a r , or the lo w e r wage food industries tended to have
b e l o w - a v e r a g e pay l e v e l s .

F a c t o r s other than industrial composition which m a y affect
the l e v e l of earnings in an a re a include size and location of the a rea,
extent of unionization, a v a ila b ility of w o r k e r s , and the gen eral e c o ­
nom ic condition of the a rea.
T hese factors are so in te r r e la te d that
the influence of a sin gle fa c to r can seldom be isolated.
Therefore,
the c o r r e la t io n of r e l a t i v e pay le v e ls with a particula r c h a ra c te ris tic
does not n e c e s s a r i l y im p ly a causal relationship.

Santa Ana—Garden G r o v e , and San F ra n c is c o -O a k la n d have con sist­
ently been among the fiv e highest paying a reas.
Equally consistent,
N ew Y o r k , the Nation*s la r g e s t city and contributor of about oneseventh of the o ffic e c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s in m etro p o lita n areas, has
n ever ranked among the top 10 a reas. This y e a r , New Y o rk ranked
eleventh at 104 with four other a rea s.
H o w e v e r , this ranking does
not take length of w o rk w eek into consideration.
M o r e than one-half
of the o ffic e w o r k e r s in New Y o r k w e r e scheduled to w o rk 35 hours

In D etroit and Los
A n g e le s , only 17 and 18 percent of the o ffic e w o r k e r s , re s p e c tiv e ly ,
had w o rk schedules of l e s s than 40 hours.
Thus, if comparisons

The a v e ra g e earnings of unskilled plant w o r k e r s in the South
w e r e so fa r belo w a v e ra g e earnings in the nonsouthern areas that they
significantly d ep re s s e d the national a v e r a g e . 11 C o n v e r s e ly , this is

1961 to 1967

In this 6 - y e a r p erio d , most of the low wage areas have m oved
upward, c lo s e r to the national a v e r a g e , in contrast to the high pay­
ing areas whose positions have rem a in ed unchanged or declined
slightly.
T h e re has been an o v e r a l l c o m p re s s io n in the w a g e - l e v e l
range of the 80 areas surveyed in both 1961 and 1967. In 1961, among
the low paying areas fo r o ffic e c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s in all industries c o m ­
bined, th ere w e r e 16 m etrop olitan areas having pay r e la t iv e s betw een
80 and under 90.
By 1967, pay r e la t iv e s fo r 13 of these a reas had
in crea sed by a percentage point or m o r e ; two had no change; and one
declined by a point.
In 1961, among the high paying areas fo r the
same occupational group, th ere w e r e 27 areas having pay r e la t iv e s
between 100 and under 110. B y 1967, r e la t iv e s fo r 8 of the 27 areas
had in c re a s e d by a percentage point or m o r e ; 7 had no change; and
12 had declined by a point or m o r e .
A t the interm ediate pay le v e l,
r e la tiv e s betw een 90 and under 100, there was no typic al m ovem ent
either away f r o m , or c lo s e r to the national pay le v e l. In 1961, there
w e r e 30 areas at this m id dle pay le v e l. In 1967, 14 of these areas
showed in c re a s e s ; 3 had no change; and 13 showed d e c r e a s e s .
An
almost identical pattern is shown by the fo llow in g tabulation fo r the
other two occupational groups, unskilled plant and skille d maintenance
workers.

The in c r e a s e f o r skille d
maintenance w o r k e r s in the South was slig h tly below the national a v ­
e ra g e ; 20.0 percent com pared to 20.3 p ercent. The impetus f o r this
a c c e le r a t e d pace was probably supplied by the 1961 and 1966 am end­

amendments
in c re a s e d the minimum wage and th e ir e ffe c t was p r in c ip a lly on the
low w age areas. A l s o respon sible, but to a l e s s e r extent, new plants
have been established in these a rea s by l a r g e nationwide m anufa c­

Frequently , these nationwide com panies have fo r m a l wage

Estimates for all industries and manufacturing include payments under a "progress sharing" plan in 1 manufacturing establishment.
Exclusive of such payments, the relative for office clerical in
all industries would have been 106. Relatives for skilled maintenance in both all industries and manufacturing would have been 100. For unskilled plant, the estimates would have been 103 in all industries
and 104 in manufacturing.

Trends of Occupational Earnings

e n tire ly of w o r k e r s em ployed in manufacturing; and nonmanufacturing
industries w e r e p r i m a r i l y responsible fo r the d iffe r e n c e s in in creases
between the e a r ly and late a rea s.

A v e r a g e earnings o f o ffic e and plant w o rk e rs in the Nation* s
m e tr o p o lita n a r e a s r o s e m o r e than 4 percent fr o m F e b r u a r y 1966 to
F e b r u a r y 1967.
The in c r e a s e s w e r e the la r g e s t of any y e a r since the
Bureau* s m e a s u r e m e n t of national wage trends began in F e b r u a r y 1961.
(See table 2 .) T h ey w e r e substantially l a r g e r than the in c r e a s e s fo r
the p revio u s y e a r , which, in turn, w e r e g e n e ra lly l a r g e r than those
f o r oth er recent y e a r s .
The in c re a s e s in a v e ra g e earnings between
F e b r u a r y 1966 and F e b r u a r y 1967 w ere: 4.3 percent fo r o ffic e c l e r i ­
cal w o r k e r s ; 5. 3 p ercen t fo r industrial nurses; 4. 1 percent fo r skilled
maintenance w o r k e r s ; and 4.3 percent fo r unskilled plant w o r k e r s .

The 1966 amendments to the F a i r L a b o r Standards A c t b e ­
came e ffe c t iv e on F e b r u a r y 1, 1967.
The amendments increased the
m inim um wage f r o m $1 .2 5 to $1.40 f o r p r e v io u s ly c o v e r e d w orkers
and broadened the c o v e r a g e , with a m inim um of $ 1 an hour for newly
covered workers.
The impact of the 1966 amendments was greatest
on the earnings of unskilled plant w o r k e r s in the South who re c e iv e d
in c re a s e s a v e ra g in g 5 percent. In F e b r u a r y 1966, the South em ployed
about seven-tenths of the men ja n itors and l a b o r e r s within scope of
the survey earning betw een $1 and $ 1 .4 0 an hour and over eight-,
tenths of those earning under $1.
Wage trend data a r e available for
26 southern c itie s .
Of the 12 a rea s studied b e fo r e the new minimum
becam e e ffe c tiv e , only 2 reported a v e r a g e in c r e a s e s above 6 percent
fo r unskilled plant w o r k e r s .
Half o f the 14 a re a s studied after the
F e b r u a r y 1 effe c tiv e date had in c re a s e s l a r g e r than 6 percent.

G e n e ra lly , 1966—67 in c re a s e s in the four regions w e r e also
substantially l a r g e r than in other recent y e a r s .
The only exceptions
w e r e the earnings of sk ille d maintenance w o rk e rs in the Northeast
and South, which i n c r e a s e d le s s than the national a v e r a g e .
From
F e b r u a r y 1965 to F e b r u a r y 1966, earnings in creases of these w o r k e r s
w e r e above a v e r a g e .
The com bined 24 m etropolitan a re a s of the United States
having populations of a m i llio n or m o r e (I960 census) had wage in ­
c r e a s e s identical to the national a v e ra g e fo r office c l e r i c a l and skilled
maintenance w o r k e r s .
N u rs e s employed in these la r g e m etropolitan
a r e a s r e c e i v e d above a v e r a g e in c re a s e s , whereas unskilled plant
w o r k e r s r e c e i v e d s m a l l e r in c r e a s e s .

Wages have g e n e r a lly in c re a s e d m o r e in nonmanufacturing
industries than in manufacturing during the past y e a r as w ell as over
the 6 -y e a r p eriod since 1961.
Although trends w e r e not computed
separately f o r nonmanufacturing, they can be estim ated by comparing
in c re a s e s in manufacturing to those fo r all industries combined. 14
O ffice w o r k e r s em ployed in manufacturing industries in the West w ere
the only group of w o r k e r s who r e c e iv e d l a r g e r in crea ses during the
6 -y e a r period than did com parable w o r k e r s em ployed in nonmanufac­
turing industries. Even fo r these w o r k e r s , in c r e a s e s w e r e about equal
to o r below those f o r nonmanufacturing in most y e a r s . H owever, the
F e b r u a r y 1963 to F e b r u a r y 1964 in c re a s e fo r the West*s office w orkers
in manufacturing was substantially g r e a t e r than in nonmanufacturing
in d u s tr ie s .

Not only w e r e the in c re a s e s in 1966—67 l a r g e r than those in
1965—66, but in c r e a s e s in e a r ly 1967 exceeded those in late 1966. The
earnin gs in fo rm a tio n is c o lle c te d annually between July of one y e a r and
June of the next y e a r . The p a y ro ll months of r e fe r e n c e v a r y betw een
in dividual a re a s surveyed, and F e b ru a ry is used as an a v e r a g e month
of r e f e r e n c e to which the data relate.
Dividing the 84 a re a s studied
into two groups, those studied b e fo re F e b ru a ry 1 and those studied
a ft e r , the m edian i n c r e a s e s fo r the two groups a r e as follow s:

Wage trends fo r o ffice c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s a r e based on the

If the trends
had been computed fo r women only, they probably would have been
higher.
P e r c e n ta g e in crea ses in national a v e r a g e s a la rie s f r o m 1961
to 1967 have been l a r g e r f o r women in 5 of the 6 c le r ic a l trend

In addition,

C ov e ra g e and Method of Computing Wage Trends

Each of the selected key occupations within an occupational
group was assigned a weight based on its proportionate em ploym ent
in the occupational group.
These constant weights r e fle c t base ye a r
em ployments w h e r e v e r possible.
The a v e ra g e (mean) earnings fo r
each occupation w e r e m ultiplied by the occupational weight, and the
products fo r a ll occupations in the group w e r e totaled. These weighted
earnings w e r e also m ultip lie d by the area weight (the ratio of total
nonagricultural employment in the stratum to that in the a rea ) and
totaled fo r each economic region and fo r all a rea s to p e rm it c o m ­
parison on a regional and a ll- m e tr o p o lita n area basis. The a g g re g a te s

F o r office c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s and industria l nurses, the wage

The percentages a re based on data f o r se le c te d key occupations and
include most of the n u m erically im portant jobs within each group.

and wage changes, and (2) m e r i t or other in creases in pay r e c e iv e d

portions of w o r k e r s e m p lo y ed by establishments having d ifferen t pay

Changes in the la b o r fo r c e can cause in creases or d e c re a s e s

Differences in Pay Between Men and Women

labor-m anagem ent a greem ents c o v e r in g e le v a to r o p e r a to r s had wage
rates ranging fro m $ 2 .5 2 to $ 2 .6 6 an hour fo r o p e r a to r s in o f f i c e
buildings, and fro m $ 1 .3 2 to $2. 16 an hour fo r o p e r a to r s in r e t a i l
establishm ents.

The Bureau's a rea wage surveys p ro v id e earnings data for
both men and women in a number o f the o ffic e and plant jobs studied.
With few exceptions, a v e r a g e earnings fo r m en exceed the a vera ges
for wom en p e r fo r m in g s im ila r tasks, r e g a r d le s s o f whether the c o m ­
parisons a r e made at the national, reg io n a l, o r area le v e l.

do not n e c e s s a r ily r e p r e s e n t the rela tionship o f m en 's and wom en's
earnings as found in individual establishments.
As this study shows,

parisons a r e based on published a v e r a g e s relatin g to a group o f estab­
lishments than when such com paris ons a r e made within individual
establishments.
The study is based on eight o f f ic e and three plant
occupations having substantial numbers o f both men and women. D i f ­
fe ren ces in the a v e r a g e s fo r the two sexes a r e examined by region
and industry division; by establishments grouped according to whether
they em plo yed both o r only one sex in the occupation; and finally,
within individual establishments.

Although the le v e l o f earnings in s p ecific occupations v a r ie d
consid erably by r egio n , regio n a l d iffe r e n c e s in the a v e r a g e s fo r men
and women w e r e frequently as la r g e as those rep orted fo r the entire
country.
As indicated below , the W est r e c o r d e d the sm a lle s t d i f f e r ­
ences between m en 's and w om en 's earnings.

The d iffe re n c e in the earnings o f men and women
o p e ra to rs in the South, on the other hand, amounted to only 3 p ercen t.
M en a vera g ed $ 1 .0 4 an hour and w om en, $ 1 .0 1 .
In the South, the
em ploym ent pattern o f women e le v a to r o p e r a to r s was a lm o s t the sam e
as in the North Central region.
H o w e v e r , only about o n e-fou rth o f
the men w e r e employed in o ffic e buildings; m o r e than 18 pe rc e n t w e r e
employed in r e ta il establishments and m o r e than 35 p e rc e n t in hotels.

T he l a r g e s t d iffe r e n c e re c o r d e d was fo r e leva to r o p era tors
in the N orth C en tral re gion , w h ere the a v e r a g e fo r men ($ 2 .1 0 ) e x ­
ceeded the a v e r a g e fo r women ($ 1 .3 7 ) by 53 percent.
This la r g e
d iffe re n c e was due p a rtly to the disproportion ate distribution o f the
sexes among industries having w id e ly v a ry in g pay l e v e ls . N e a r l y twofifths o f the women ele v a to r o p e ra to rs in the re gion w e r e employed
in r e t a il establishments and n e a rly on e-th ird in hotels , both o f which
reported r e l a t iv e ly low wages fo r this occupation.
O n e -h a lf o f the
men, on the other hand, w e r e em ployed in o ffic e buildings; fe w e r than
5 percent w e r e em plo yed in r e t a il establishments and less than 20 p e r ­
cent in hotels.
In the N orth C e n tra l r e g io n 's l a r g e s t city, Chicago,

D iffe re n c e s in the occupational a v e r a g e s f o r men and wom en
w e r e often as great in the individual industry groups as fo r a ll indus­
t rie s combined. The six broad industry d ivisio n s a r e each c o m p r is e d
o f many d iv e r s e industries which have w id e ly d iffe r e n t pay le v e l s .
The unequal manner in which these in dustrie s contribute to the e m ­
ployment o f men and women in the s e le c te d occupations, o f c o u rse,
does affect the av e ra g e s fo r men and w om en in the m a jo r industry
d iv ision.
F o r example, among class A accounting c lerk s in public
u tilitie s , o v e r one-fourth o f the m en in that industry w e r e e m p lo y ed in
r a ilr o a d s , and fe w e r than 5 p ercen t w e r e in com m unic atio ns. In con ­
tra s t, only about one-tenth o f the w om en class A accounting c le rk s in

public u tilitie s w e r e e m p lo y e d in railroads, but o v e r 40 percent w e r e in
communications.
By assum ing that men and women w e r e distributed
equally throughout the industry segments making up public u tilitie s ,
and recomputin g the a v e r a g e earnings for men and wom en on the basis
o f this distribu tion , the existing 16 percen t wage advantage fo r men
would n a r r o w to a p p r o x im a te ly 10 percent.
T h e occupational w age advantages fo r men w e r e usually much
s m a lle r among establis hm ents employing both sexes in the same job
than among a ll establish m en ts, including those employing only m en or
women in an occupation ( s e e table 4). F o r example, in establishments
em ploying both sexes in an occupation, men class A accounting clerk s
earned 12 p e r c e n t m o r e than women, compared with 19 percen t in a ll
establishm ents.
T he correspon din g figures for e leva tor op e ra to rs
w e r e 14 p e r c e n t in establishments employing both sexes in an o c c u ­
pation and 44 p e r c e n t in a l l establishments.
T h e s e relationships
usually p r e v a i l e d in each re g io n and industry division.
In n e a r ly a ll instances, occupational earnings for men w e r e
about the sam e among establishments employing both sexes as among
those em plo yin g m en only.
In contrast, occupational a v e r a g e s fo r
wom en w e r e consisten tly h igher among establishments employing both
men and w om en in the sam e job than in establishments employing
wom en only.
Establish m en ts employing only women in an occupation
w e r e freq u en tly found to be in the lo w e r paying industry segments of
nonmanufacturing. Thus, w age d ifferen ces w e r e also a ffected by v a r i ­
ation in the prop ortion s o f w o r k e r s in an occupation who w e r e in estab ­
lishments em ploying both sexes o r only one sex in the job.

F o r the United States, the d iffe r e n c e in a v e r a g e earnings o f
men and women in the median establishm ent was 5 percent or less
fo r a ll but 1 o f the 11 occupations studied. The median establishments

F o r the two lo w e r cla sses (B and C) o f tabulating-machine

The l a r g e s t d iffe r e n c e was r e c o r d e d fo r o rd e r clerks.
In this job, men a v e ra g e d 15 p e rc e n t m o r e than women; in the middle
o n e -h a lf o f the c om p a rison s, the wage advantage o f men ranged from
3 to 26 percent. Although there w e r e some v a r ia tio n s , these rela tio n ­
ships w e r e g e n e r a lly s im ila r in each region and in the differen t indus­
t r y divisions c o v e r e d by the study.
As indicated by the m iddle range
o f d iffe r e n c e s , women frequently a v e ra g e d m o r e than men p e rform in g
s im ila r tasks in the sam e establishment.
The question a r is e s as to why in individual establishments
there a r e d iffe r e n c e s in the a v e r a g e earnings o f men and women p e r ­
fo rm in g s im ila r tasks, p a r t ic u la r ly since the enactment o f the Equal
P a y A c t o f 1963. 16 D iffe r e n c e s in a v e r a g e earnings of men and women
p e r fo r m in g s im ila r tasks in the same establishments may be due to
fa cto rs other than d is c r im in a t o r y pay p r a c tic e s o f the em ployer.
One
such factor is the p r a c tic e o f paying o ffic e w o r k e r s according to estab­
lished rate ranges determ in ed by the e m p lo y e e 's length of s e r v ic e in
the job.
In such situations, lo n ger a v e r a g e s e r v i c e results in higher
a v e r a g e earnings.
M o s t frequ en tly, the a v e r a g e length o f s e r v ic e s
fo r men is g r e a t e r than for women.
A r e c e n t study 17 revea ls that

^ Briefly stated, the act requires that employers must pay employees of one sex the same
rates as those paid the employees of the opposite sex for equal work on jobs requiring equal skill,
effort, and responsibility. Exception from paying identical wages is provided, when it can be shown
that wage differentials are the result of rate policies reflecting seniority, merit, or quality and quantity
of work performed. See Equal Pay for Equal Work Under the Fair Labor Standards Act: Interpretative
Bulletin of the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Part 800 (U. S. Department of Labor, Wage
and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions, 1966), WHPC Publication 1157.

a v e r a g e job tenure o f men c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s was n e a rly tw ice as long
as fo r women.
T h is , h o w e v e r , v a r i e s somewhat by occupation.
An­
other factor influencing the d iffe r e n c e s in a v e r a g e earnings is the
d escriptions used to c la s s ify w o r k e r s in the B LS occupational c l a s s i f i ­
cations.
T h e s e c la ssifica tion s a r e usually m o r e g e n e r a l than those
used in individual establishments because survey definitions must be
broad enough to a llow fo r m in o r d iffe r e n c e s among establishments in
sp e c ific duties p e r fo r m e d .
Consequently, the occupational c l a s s i f i c a ­
tions m ay include w o r k e r s having a wide range o f duties.
In ja n ito r ia l
work, fo r exam ple, individual establishments m a y have men p e r f o r m ­
ing the h e a v ie r tasks and w orkin g in unpleasant surroundings at one
rate o f pay, and women doing the lig h te r , less d ifficu lt w ork at a
lo w e r rate.

Conclusion

which

D iffe r e n c e s in occupational a v e r a g e s fo r men and wom en
r e la te to groups o f establishments a r e not p r o p e r indicators




o f the a v e ra g e d ifferen ces within establishm ents.
The l a r g e d i f f e r ­
ences usually noted often r e f l e c t to a c o n s id e ra b le extent the d i s p r o ­
p ortionate employment o f men and w om en among establishments having
w id e ly varying pay le v e ls . M any establishm ents em plo y only one sex
in a s p ecific job.
F o r a given occupation, the pay d i ffe r e n c e s b e ­
tween establishments employin g only men and those em ploying only
women is usually much l a r g e r than the d iffe r e n c e s in a v e r a g e e a r n ­
ings o f men and wom en in establishments em ploying both s e x e s . T h e r e
appears to be a tendency fo r establishm ents em ployin g only wom en
in a given job to have a lo w e r l e v e l o f w ages than either e s ta b lis h ­
ments employing only men o r those em ploying both men and women
in the same job.
D iffe re n c e s in a v e r a g e earnings o f m en and wom en
in the same occupation and establishm ent m a y re s u lt fr o m d iffe r e n c e
in the a v e ra g e length of s e r v i c e and f r o m m in o r d iffe r e n c e s in th eir
duties as recognized by the w age p o lic y o f the establishm ent.
A l­
though the study did not d evelop in fo rm a tio n s p e c if ic a lly rela tin g to
d is c r im in a to r y p ra ctices in the payment o f wages to the s e x e s , the
a va ila b le evidence suggests that this is not a fa c to r contributing to
the wage d ifferences noted.

Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions

By I960, n e a r ly a ll w o rk e rs in the Nation's m etropolitan
a re a s r e c e i v e d paid holidays and paid vacations, and the la r g e m a j o r ­
ity w e r e p r o v id e d health and w e lfa r e b e n e fit s , including one o r m o r e
types o f health, insurance, and pension plans.
Although there has
been som e i n c r e a s e in the p r e v a le n c e o f such plans, the m o s t notable
changes in the la s t 7 y e a r s have been in the fo rm o f m o r e lib e r a l
b enefits.
T h is section , which is based on the Bureau's 1967 survey
o f wages and r e la te d benefits in the 227 m etropolitan a rea s , presents
current in fo rm a tio n on the extent and nature o f these benefits in
m e d i u m - s i z e and l a r g e establishments and makes com parisons with
the e a r l i e r p e rio d . 18

L a te -S h ift P a y P r o v i s i o n s and P r a c t i c e s in Manufacturing
A p p r o x im a te ly 88 p ercen t o f manufacturing plant w o rk ers
w e r e in establishments having p ro v is io n s fo r at lea st a second shift;
re g io n a l estim ates ranged fr o m about 80 percen t in the Northeast to
n e a rly 94 pe rc e n t in the W est and N orth C en tral region.
Only 25.8
percen t o f the w o r k e r s w e r e actually working on late shifts at the tim e
o f the survey. Second shift em plo ym ent ranged fr o m 15.9 percent of
the plant w o r k e r s in the N o rth ea st to 19. 2 p ercen t in the West; and
third shift em ploym ent, f r o m 6.0 p ercen t in the W e s t to 8. 1 percent
in the South.

Changes in paid holidays during the period fr o m I960 to 1967
usually in v o lv e d additional holidays— ones which p ro v id e long w e e k ­
ends rath er than the addition o f traditional holidays.
The m ost f r e ­
quent im p r o v e m e n t in vacation provision s was the reduction in the
s e r v i c e r e q u ir e m e n t fo r 3 and 4 weeks o f vacation and the a dvance­
ment o f p r o v is io n s fo r 4 weeks fr o m the exception to the com m on ­
p la ce.
T h e trend in health, insurance, and pension plans has been
towards c o v e r a g e o f w o r k e r s by m o r e plans.
Catastrophe (m a jo r
m ed ic a l) in surance c o v e r a g e , in p a rticu lar, has in c re a s e d s ig n if i­
cantly sin ce I960.

The two m ost com mon types of prem iu m pay fo r w ork ers on
late shifts w e r e uniform c e n ts -p e r-h o u r and u nifo rm percentage addi­
tions to f i r s t - s h i f t rates.
R e la t iv e ly few establishments had fo r m a l
p o lic ie s o f paying d a y-sh ift rates fo r la te -s h ift work. About two-thirds
of the w o r k e r s on a second shift and r e c e iv in g a pay d iffe re n tia l w e r e
c o v e re d by a uniform c e n ts -p e r -h o u r p ro v is io n , w hile about one-fourth
r e c e i v e d a uniform p ercen ta ge d iffe re n tia l. In o r d e r to s im p lify c o m ­
pa ris o n s , a v e r a g e c e n ts -p e r -h o u r and a v e r a g e p ercentage d if f e r e n ­
tials w e r e computed. In 1967, the a v e r a g e c e n ts -p e r-h o u r d ifferen tia l
for second shift w o r k in a ll m etro p o lita n a reas was 9*7 cents— up fro m
an a v e r a g e of 8.8 cents in I960. O v e r the same p e rio d , the a v e ra g e
p ercen ta ge d iffe r e n tia l rem ain ed near 8 percent. H o w e v e r , since the
s tr a ig h t-tim e earnings o f skilled maintenance w o r k e r s and unskilled
plant w o r k e r s in manufacturing in c re a s e d 23. 6 and 24. 5 percent, r e ­
s p e c tiv e ly , those who r e c e i v e d a p ercen ta ge o f stra ig h t-tim e pay as
a d iffe r e n tia l got proportionate in c re a s e s in the d olla r value o f their
d iffe re n tia ls as their s tr a ig h t- tim e earnings in creased .

T he extent o f health insurance benefits covering both the e m ­
plo y e e s and th eir dependents was studied by the Bureau fo r the f i r s t
tim e in 1967.
T h e resu lts o f the survey show that 4 out o f 5 plant
and o f f ic e w o r k e r s e lig ib le fo r health insurance had s im ila r c o v e ra g e
fo r th eir dependents.
The p r e v a le n c e o f supplemental wage p ro visio n s v a r ie d

A lm o s t a ll w o r k e r s in each

F o r exam ple, 62 p ercen t o f the plant

South, w e r e e lig ib le fo r 4 weeks or m o r e o f vacation a fte r 25 ye a rs

and 37 p e r c e n t in s e r v i c e s w e r e elig ib le fo r at lea st 4 weeks a fter
25 y e a r s .

The percen t o f manufacturing plant w o rk e rs having no p r o v i ­
sions fo r secon d-sh ift pay d iffe r e n t ia l was not significant except in the
South, w h ere 14 p ercen t o f the w o r k e r s had no p ro v is io n s for prem ium
pay fo r s econ d -sh ift w ork. H o w e v e r , only 3.6 percen t o f the w o rk e rs
in the South r e c e iv e d no shift d iffe r e n t ia l while actually working on
the second shift.

In analy zing the B - s e r i e s tables, it should be kept in mind
that the manufacturing d ivisio n strongly influences the all-in d u s try
fig u re s f o r plant w o r k e r s , whereas the nonmanufacturing industries
e x e r t the g r e a t e r influence fo r o ffic e w o r k e r s .
About 62 percen t o f
the plant w o r k e r s and 38 percen t o f the o ffic e w o r k e r s within scope
o f the 1967 study w e r e em ployed in manufacturing fi r m s .

Includes pay at regular rate for more hours than worked, a paid lunch period not given to
first-shift workers, a f la t sum per shift, and other provisions. Most "other," however, were in estab­
lishments which provided one such provision in combination with a cents or percentage differential
for hours actually worked.

Although the 1967 national a v e r a g e o f 40. 6 hours fo r a ll plant
w o r k e r s was the highest a v e r a g e w o rk w e e k since I960, this change
rep resen ted only a slight v a ria tio n fr o m the I960 l e v e l to the p resent.
In the manufacturing industry d iv is io n , the a v e r a g e scheduled w e e k ly
hours fo r plant w o rk e rs showed a slight d e clin e f r o m 40. 3 to 40. 2
hours during the 1960—65 p e r io d , but has since in c r e a s e d to a high
o f 40. 6 hours. Among the nonmanufacturing industry d iv is io n s , e s p e ­
c ia lly in the r e ta il trade and s e r v i c e s in d u stries, the a v e r a g e w o r k ­
w eek fo r plant w o rk e rs has d eclin ed since I960.
O v e r the 7 - y e a r
p e r io d , the w ork schedule in s e r v i c e s d e c r e a s e d by a lm o s t an hour--fr o m 41.8 to 40.9 hours, while the a v e r a g e w o rk w e e k in r e t a i l trade
was reduced by six-tenths o f an hour to 40. 6 hours.
R e g a r d le s s o f
these changes, plant w o rk e rs in the public u tilities d iv is io n had the
shortest scheduled hours (40.3) in 1967, while w o r k e r s in the w h o le ­
sale trade and s e r v ic e s industries had the longest (4 0.9)F o r o ffic e w o r k e r s , the national a v e r a g e scheduled w ork w e e k
has rem ain ed at 38.9 hours since 1961. A s in I960, o f f i c e w o r k e r s
in the finance industries s till had the sh o rte s t w ork w e e k (38. 0 h ou rs),
which was a lm ost an hour and a half le s s p e r w eek than the longest
w o rkw eek (3 9.4 hours in manufacturing and r e t a i l trade).
I n m o s t o f the re gio n s, the a v e r a g e w o rk w eek s fo r plant and
o ffic e w o rk e rs have declined during the I960 to 1967 p erio d .
The
f o r e m o s t exception has been in the N o rth C e n tra l re g io n , w h e re plant
w o r k e r s now have an a v e r a g e w o rk w e e k o f 40. 8 hours— four-tenths of
an hour longer than in I960.
F o r plant w o r k e r s , the longest a v e r a g e w o rk w e e k (41.2 hours)
was in the South, and the shortest (40. 0 hours) was in the N orth ea st.
H o w e v e r , the South's w ork schedule re p r e s e n te d a half-hour d e c r e a s e
since I960, the la r g e s t d e c r e a s e in a v e r a g e hours r e c o r d e d among
the regions.
In the N orth east, a m a j o r i t y o f o f f i c e w o r k e r s had a
w eek ly work schedule o f less than 40 hours; the a v e r a g e w ork w e e k
being 37. 7 hours— a lm ost 2 hours le s s than the w o rk w e e k in the other
region s. It should be noted that although the N o rth e a s t had the s h o r t ­
est workw eek, the a v e ra g e was highly a ffe c te d by the N e w Y o r k are a .
In 1967, 56 percen t o f the o ffic e w o r k e r s in N e w Y o r k had a 35-hour
workw eek.
The N orth east's a v e r a g e w o r k w e e k , without N e w Y o r k ,
would r i s e fr o m 37. 7 to 38. 6 hours— a lm o s t a fu ll hour.

Scheduled W eek ly Hours
T he 40-hour w ork w eek rem ains the m o s t typ ica l w o rk sched­
ule among plant and o ffic e w o r k e r s . 19 N e a r l y 4 out o f 5 plant w o r k e r s
and a lm o st 2 out of 3 o f f ic e w o r k e r s w e r e scheduled to w ork a 40-hour

The scheduled workweek is the number of hours which a majority of the full-tim e workers
were expected to work, at the time of the survey, whether they were paid for at straight-time or
overtime rates.

P a r t of

A m o n g the industry d iv is io n s , the proportions of plant and o ffic e w o r k ­

In

Public utilities, having

in 1967, extended its c o v e r a g e of plant w o rk e rs f r o m 36 to 80 p e r ­

The apparent decline in the prevalence of sickness and accident insurance
and sick leave can be attributed to sampling variability and, in the case of sick
leave for office workers, to a reevaluation of policies in some establishments regarding
the formality of the plans.

Although the Bureau did not attempt to determ ine the m o n e ­
t a r y cost of the plans studied, in form ation was co lle c te d as to whether
the plans p rovid ed w e r e financed by the e m p lo y e r only or jointly f i ­
nanced by e m p lo y e r and em plo yee. Survey results showed that a large
number of the plant and o ffice w o r k e r s c o v e r e d by health, insurance,
and pension plans w e r e em ployed in establishments which financed the
entire costs. G e n e ra lly , a g r e a t e r p ercentage of o ffic e w o rk e rs had
c o v e r a g e , but they w e r e much m o r e lik e ly to share the costs with
their e m p lo y er.

Health Insurance Benefits fo r E m p loyees and Dependents
In c o llectin g data on health insurance c o v e r a g e in 1967, the
Bureau obtained inform ation as to whether the c o v e r a g e extended to
the w o r k e r s ' dependents (spouse or children).
The results of this
survey show that, in m ost ca ses, when the w o r k e r s w e r e c o v e r e d by
a plan, dependents w e r e als o c o v e re d .
C o v e r a g e fo r dependents was
availa ble to fo u r-fifth s of the plant and o ffic e w o rk e rs e lig ib le fo r the
basic benefits of hospitalization, surgical, o r m e d ic a l insurance; or
the extended benefits of catastrophe insurance.
The rem aining onefifth had c o v e r a g e fo r s e lf only.
A s a percent of a ll w o r k e r s , insured and uninsured, the
c o v e ra g e f o r em ployees and their dependents ranged f r o m 76 percent
of the o ffic e w o r k e r s having hospitalizatio n to 36 percent of the plant
w o rk e rs having catastrophe insurance.
A m on g the industry div is ions, at least 70 percent of the plant
and 81 percent of the o ffic e w o r k e r s in public utilities had health
insurance benefits which included their dependents. T h ese p ercentages
we re substantially higher than fo r plant w o r k e r s in s e r v ic e s , where
em plo yee-dependent c o v e ra g e ranged fr o m 17 percent (catastrophe) to
44 percent (h ospitalization and surgical); and fo r o ffic e w o r k e r s in
reta il trade, w here m e d ic a l insurance benefits with dependent c o v e r a g e
w e re provided to only 44 percent of the e m p lo y ees.
The N orth Central region had the highest proportion o f plant
and o ffice w o r k e r s e lig ib le fo r the basic health insurance benefits
c o verin g em p lo y e e s and their dependents. F o r catastrophe insurance,
the West, which had one-h alf of the plant and seven-tenths of the o ffic e
em ployment e lig ib le fo r em ployee-dependent c o v e r a g e , exceeded the




other regions.
In a ll regions, health insurance plans c o v e r in g both
the em ployees and their dependents w e r e fa r m o r e p reva len t than those
plans c o v e rin g only the em p lo y e e s .
A re v ie w of the financing of health in surance plans fo r e m ­
p loyees and their dependents indicates that e m p lo y e r financing o f plans
was m o r e prevalent fo r plant w o r k e r s than f o r o f f ic e w o r k e r s .
(See
table B -6 ).
F o r example, o v e r half o f the plant w o r k e r s e lig ib le fo r
the basic health insurance benefits c o v e r in g e m p lo y e e s and th eir d e ­
pendents w ere provided such benefits on a noncontributory basis,
whereas only on e-th ird of the e lig ib le o f f i c e w o r k e r s had e m p lo y e r financed c o v e ra g e . Catastrophe insurance c o v e r a g e f o r dependents was
available on a noncontributory basis to 16 p ercen t of a ll plant w o r k e r s
and 21 percent of all o ffice w o r k e r s .
A s m a ll but notable p ercen ta ge
of the plant and o ffic e w o rk e rs w e r e e lig ib le f o r em p loyee-d ep en d en t
c o v e r a g e by means of e m p lo y e r financing f o r e m p lo y e e s and jo in t
financing (e m p lo y e r and e m p loyee) fo r dependents; at le a s t 4 percen t
of the plant w orkers and 7 percent o f the o ffic e w o r k e r s w e r e c o v e r e d
by health insurance benefits under this type o f financing.
The extent to which the financing o f health insurance plans was
noncontributory v a r ie d g r e a tly among the re g io n s .
The South showed
a g r e a t e r tendency than any other r e g io n to have both plant and o ffic e
w o r k e r s share the cost of financing health insurance plans c o v e r in g

1 Includes basic plans only. Excludes plans such as vacation-savings and those plans which offer "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans to workers having qualifying lengths of service.
Typical of such exclusions are plans in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.
2 For definition of regions, see footnote 3 to the table in appendix A.
3 See footnote 2, table B-l.
4 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.
5 See footnote 5, table B-2.
6 Less than 0.5 percent.
7 Includes pa yment other than "length of time," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-sum payments, converted to an equivalent time basis; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual
earnings w a s considered as 1 week's pay.
Periods of service were chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily reflect the individual provisions for progression.
For example, the changes in proportions
indicated at 10 years' service include changes in provisions occurring between 5 and 10 years.
Estimates are cumulative.
Thus, the proportion eligible for 3 weeks' pay or m o r e after 5 years includes
those eligible for 3 weeks' pay or m o r e after fewer years of service.

3 Includes plans for which at least apart of the cost is borne by the employer. See footnote 1, table B-5. A n estaDiishment wa s considered as providing benefits to employees for their dependents
if such coverage wa s available to at least a majority of those employees one would usually expect to have dependents, e.g., married men, even though they w e r e less than a majority of all plant or office
workers. The employer bears the entire cost of "employer financed" plans. The employer and employee share the cost of the "jointly financed" plans.

Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions

The primary purpose o f preparing jo b descriptions for the Bureau's w age surveys is to assist its fie ld
staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are em ployed under a variety o f payroll titles
and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area.
This permits
the grouping of occupational w age rates representing com parable jo b content.
Because of this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea com parability o f occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m ay
d iffer significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes.
In
applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's fie ld economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors,
apprentices, learners,

beginners,

trainees,

handicapped,

p art-tim e,

temporary,

and probationary workers.
