    Introduction

    This area is one of se v e ra l im portant industria l centers in w hich the U. S. D epartm ent of Labor*s Bureau of L abor Statistics has conducted su rveys of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an areaw ide b a s is . In this area , data w ere obtained by person a l v isits of Bureau fie ld econ om ists 1 to represen tative establishm ents within six broad industry d iv is ion s : M anufacturing; tra n sp o rta tio n ,2com m unication , and other public u tilities ; w holesa le trade; re ta il trade; finance, insu ran ce, and rea l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor in dustry groups excluded from these studies are governm ent operations and the construction and ex tractive in du stries . E stablishm ents having few er than a p re scr ib e d num ber of w ork ers are om itted a lso becau se they furn ish insu fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w a r rant in clusion . W herever p o s s ib le , separate tabulations are provided fo r each of the broad industry d iv is ion s .

    These surveys are conducted on a sam ple ba sis becau se o f the u n n ecessa ry cost involved in surveying a ll estab lishm ents. To obtain appropria te a ccu ra cy at m inim um cost, a g rea ter p rop ortion of large than of sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data, how e v e r , a ll establishm ents are given their appropria te w eight. E stim ates based on the establishm ents studied are p resen ted , th e re fo re , as r e lating to a ll establishm ents in the industry grouping and area , e x cept fo r those be low the m inim um size studied.

    Occupations and Earnings

    The occupations se lected fo r study are com m on to a variety of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in du stries . O ccupational c la s s ifica tion is based on a uniform set of job d escr ip tion s designed to take account of in terestablish m en t variation in duties within the sam e job . (See appendix fo r listing o f these d escr ip tion s . ) Earnings data are presen ted (in the A -s e r ie s tab les) fo r the fo llow in g types o f o ccu p a tions: (a) O ffice c le r ic a l; (b) p ro fe ss io n a l and tech n ica l; (c ) m a in tenance and pow erplant; and (d) custod ia l and m a teria l m ovem ent.

    1 Data w ere obtained by m a il from som e o f the sm a ller e s tablishm ents fo r w hich v is its by Bureau fie ld econ om ists in the last previous su rvey indicated em ploym ent in re la tiv e ly few of the o c cu pations studied. Unusual changes reported by m ail w ere v erified with em p loyers .

    2 R a ilroads , fo r m e r ly excluded from the scope o f these stud ies, w ere included in ail of the areas studied sin ce July 1959, excep t B a ltim o re (Septem ber 1959 and D ecem ber I960), B u ffalo (O ctober 1959), C leveland (Septem ber 1959), and Seattle (August 1959).

    O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown for fu ll-t im e w o rk e rs , i. e. , those h ired to w ork a regu lar w eek ly sch ed ule in the given occu pation al c la ss ifica tio n . Earnings data exclude prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, h o lid a ys , and late sh ifts. N onproduction bonuses are excluded a lso , but c o s t -o f - liv ing bonuses and incentive earn ings are included. W here w eekly hours are rep orted , as fo r o ffic e c le r ic a l occu pation s, re fe re n ce is to the w ork schedules (rounded to the n ea rest half hour) fo r w hich stra igh t-tim e sa la rie s are paid; average w eek ly earn ings fo r these occupations have been rounded to the n earest half d o lla r .

    A verage earnings of m en and w om en a re presen ted sep arate ly fo r se le cted occupations in w hich both sexes are com m on ly em ployed . D ifferen ces in pay lev e ls o f m en and w om en in these occupations are la rg e ly due to ( l ) d iffe re n ce s in the d istribu tion o f the sexes am ong in du stries and estab lishm ents; (2) d iffe re n ce s in sp e c ific duties p e r fo rm e d , although the occupations are ap propria te ly c la s s ifie d within the sam e su rvey job d escr ip tion ; and (3) d iffe re n ce s in length of s e r v ice or m e r it rev iew when individual sa la rie s are adjusted on this b a s is . L on ger average s e r v ice of m en would resu lt in h igher average pay when both sexes are em ployed within the sam e rate range. Job d escr ip tion s used in c la ss ify in g em p loyees in these su rveys are u su a lly m o re gen era lized than those used in individual estab lishm ents to a llow fo r m in or d iffe ren ces am ong estab lishm ents in sp e c if ic duties p e r form ed .

    O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates rep resen t the total in a ll establishm ents within the scop e of the study and not the num ber actu a lly su rveyed . B ecause of d iffe re n ce s in occu pation al stru ctu re am ong estab lish m en ts, the estim ates o f occu pation al em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple of establishm ents studied serv e only to indicate the re la tive im portan ce of the job s studied. T hese d iffe re n ce s in o c cu pational stru ctu re do not m a ter ia lly a ffe ct the a c cu ra cy o f the earn ings data.

  • 2executive, and professional employees, and force-account construction employees who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded. Cafeteria workers and routemen are excluded in manufacturing industries, but are included as plant workers in nonmanufacturing industries.

    Shift differential data (table B -l) are limited to manufacturing industries. This information is presented both in terms of (a) establishment policy, 3 presented in terms of total plant worker employment, and (b) effective practice, presented on the basis of workers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a majority was used or, if no amount applied to a majority, the classification "other'* was used* In establishments iri which some late- shift hours are paid at normal rates, a differential was recorded only if it applied to a majority of the shift hours.

    Minimum entrance rates (table B-2) relate only to the establishments visited. They are presented on an establishment, rather than on an employment basis. Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated statistically on the basis that these are applicable to all plant or office workers if a majority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the practices listed. Scheduled hours are treated statistically on the basis that these are applicable to all plant or office workers if a majority are covered. 4 Because of rounding, sums of individual items in these tabulations may not equal totals.

    The first part of the paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays actually provided. The second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday time.

    The summary of vacation plans is limited to formal arrangements, excluding informal plans whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of the employer. Separate estimates are provided according to employer practice in computing vacation payments, such as time payments, percent of annual earnings, or flat-sum amounts. However, in the tabulations of vacation allowances, payments not on a time basis were converted; lo r example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equivalent of 1 week's pay.

    3 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the following conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the time of the survey, or (2) had formal provisions covering late shifts.

    4 Scheduled weekly hours for office workers (first section of table B-3) in surveys made prior to July 1957 were presented in terms of the proportion of women office workers employed in offices with the indicated weekly hours for women workers.

    Data are presented for all health, insurance, and pension plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer, excepting only legal requirements such as workmen's compensation, social security, and railroad retirement. Such plans include those underwritten by a commercial insurance company and those provided through a union fund or paid directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose. Death benefits are included as a form of life insurance.

    Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of insurance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly or monthly basis during illness or accident disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes. However, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted temporary disability insurance laws which require employer contributions, 5 plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of paid sick-leave plans are limited to formal plans 6 which provide full pay or a proportion of the worker's pay during absence from work because of illness. Separate tabulations are provided according to(1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans providing either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presentation of the.proportions of workers who are provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of workers who receive either or both types of benefits.

    Catastrophe insurance, sometimes referred to as extended medical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect employees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond the normal coverage of hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial payment of doctors' fees. Such plans may be underwritten by commercial insurance companies or nonprofit organizations or they may be self-insured. Tabulations of retirement pension plans are limited to those plans that provide monthly payments for the remainder of the worker's life.

    5 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.

    6 An establishment was considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the minimum number of days of sick leave that could be expected by each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick-leave allowances, determined on an individual, basis, were excluded.

    1 The New York A rea c om p rises New York City (Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond Counties). The "w ork ers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and com position of the labor force included in the su rvey. The estim ates are not intended, how ever, to serve as a basis of com parison with other area em ploym ent indexes to m easu re em ploym ent trends or le v els since (1) planning of wage surveys requ ires the use of establishm ent data com piled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishm ents are excluded fro m the scope of the survey.

    2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishm ents by industry division. M ajor changes from the ea rlier edition (used in the B u re a u s labor m arket wage surveys conducted prior to July 1958) are the transfer of m ilk pasteurization plants and ready-m ixed concrete establishm ents from trade (w holesale or retail) to manufacturing, and the transfer of radio and television broadcasting from serv ices to the transportation, com m unication, and other public u tilities division.

    3 Includes all establishm ents with total em ploym ent at or above the m in im u m -size lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair se rv ic e , and m otion -p icture theaters are considered as 1 establishm ent.

    4 Includes executive, p rofession al, and oth6r w orkers excluded from the separate office and plant categories.5 T axicabs and serv ices incidental to water transportation were excluded. The publicly operated portion of New York*s transit system is , as a governm ent operation, excluded from the

    scope of the studies.6 E stim ate relates to real estate establishm ents only.7 H otels; personal se rv ic e s ; business se rv ic e s ; autom obile repair shops; m otion p ictures; nonprofit m em bersh ip organizations; and engineering and architectural se rv ic e s .

  • 4Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups

    Presented in table 2 are indexes of salaries of office clerical workers and industrial nurses, and of average earnings of selected plant worker groups. In areas which were not surveyed during the fiscal 1953 base year (July 1952 to June 1953) this table is limited to percents of change between selected periods.

    For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the indexes relate to average weekly salaries for normal hours of work, that is, the standard work schedule for which straight-time salaries are paid. For plant worker groups, they measure changes in straight-time hourly earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The indexes are based on, data for selected key occupations and include most of the numerically important jobs within each group. The office clerical data are based on women in the following 18 jobs: Billers, machine (billing machine); bookkeeping- machine operators, class A and B; Comptometer operators; clerks, file, class A and B; clerks, order; clerks, payroll; keypunch operators; office girls; secretaries; stenographers, general; switchboard operators; switchboard operator-receptionists; tabulating-machine operators; transcribing-machine operators, general; and typists, class A and B. The industrial nurse data are based on women industrial nurses. Men in the following 10 skilled maintenance jobs and 3 unskilled jobs were included in the plant worker data: Skilled:carpenters;electricians; machinists; mechanics; mechanics, automotive; millwrights; painters; pipefitters; sheet-metal workers; and tool and die makers; unskilledjanitors, porters, and cleaners; laborers, material handling; and watchmen.

    Average weekly salaries or average hourly earnings were computed for each of the selected occupations. The average salaries or hourly earnings were then multiplied by the average of 1953 and 1954 employment in the job. These weighted earnings for individual occupations were then totaled to obtain an aggregate for each occupational group. Finally, the ratio of these group aggregates for a given year to the aggregate for the base period (survey month, winter 195253) was computed and the result multiplied by the base year index (100) to get the index for the given year.

    Similar procedures were followed in compiling "percents of change" in aras not surveyed during 1953.

    Adjustments have been made w here necessary to maintain comparability so that the year-to-year comparisons are based on the same industry and occupational coverage. For example, railroads have been included in the coverage of the surveys only since July 1959. In computing the indexes for the first year in which railroads were included, data relating to railroads were excluded. Indexes for subsequent years include data for railroads.

    The indexes measure, principally, the effects of (1) general salary and wage changes; (2) merit or other increases in pay received by individual workers while in the same job; and (3) changes in the labor force such as labor turnover, force expansions, force reductions, and changes in the proportion of workers employed by establishments with different pay levels. Changes in the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. For example, a force esqpansion might increase the proportion of lower paid workers in a specific occupation and result in a drop in the average, whereas a reduction in the proportion of lower paid workers would have the opposite effect. The movement of a high-paying establishment out of an area could cause the average earnings to drop, even though no change in rates occurred in other area establishments.

    The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effects of changes in the proportion of workers represented in each job included in the data. Nor are the indexes influenced by changes in standard work schedules or in premium pay for overtime, since they are based on pay for straight-time hours.

    Indexes for the period 1953 to I960 for workers in 20 major labor markets will appear in BLS Bull. 1265-62, Wages and Related Benefits, 60 Labor Markets, Winter 195960.

    NOTE: Estim ates for all industries, nonmanufacturing, and public utilities include data for railroads (SIC 4Q), omitted from the scope of all labor market wage surveys made before July 1959. Where significant, the effect of the inclusion of railroads is greatest on the data shown separately for the public utilities division.
