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

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

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

To obtain appropria te a ccu ra cy at m inim um cost, a g rea ter p

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.

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

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

A verage earnings of m en and w om en a re presen ted sep arate

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.

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

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.

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.
