Preface

This bulletin presents estimates of employment, average hourly and weekly earnings, and weekly hours of work of nonsupervisory employees in retail general merchandise stores in June 1962. This survey supplements a similar study conducted in June 1961. This bulletin provides data on changes in earnings and hours of work between the survey periods, during which time the 1961 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act that established a $1 minimum wage for employees in large retail enterprises became effective. The survey was part of a broad program of studies initiated by the U. S. Department of Labor for continuing appraisal of Federal minimum wage legislation.

The statistics were obtained from a nationwide survey of retail trade (excluding eating and drinking places) conducted by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for a June 1962 payroll period. Data are provided separately for men and women; four regions of the United States— Northeast, South, North Central, and West; metropolitan and nonmetropolitan areas; and for retail general merchandise enterprises and establishments by their annual volume of sales. Appendix A provides technical information on the scope and method of the survey, as well as definitions of terms. A copy of the questionnaire used in the survey is shown in appendix B.

A bulletin containing comprehensive statistical data for the entire retail trade industry (except eating and drinking places) is available. Separate bulletins providing data for each of the other major retail groups comprising retail trade will also be issued. (See inside back cover.)

The Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions participated in the planning of the survey and provided the necessary funds. This study was conducted in the Bureau1 s Division of National Wage and Salary Income by Norman J. Samuels, Chief of the Division, under the general direction of L. R. Linsenmayer, Assistant Commissioner for Wages and Industrial Relations. The analysis was prepared by Alvin Bauman, Joseph K. Cocco, and Ira S. Metzman, under the immediate supervision of Herbert Schaffer.

JEmp.loy.ee Earnings in Retail General Merchandise Stores, June 1962

Sum m ary

A verage stra ight-tim e earnings w ere $ 1 .5 0 an hour fo r approxim ately 1 .4 m illion nonsupervisory em ployees in general m erchandise stores cov ered by the Bureau 's survey in June 1962. Eight percent of the w ork ers earned less than $1 an hour, 16 percent from $1 to $ 1 .0 5 , 45 percent le ss than $ 1 .2 5 , and 14 percent at least $2 an hour. During the survey week, nearly a th ird of the em ployees w orked less than 35 hours, the sam e proportion w orked 40 hours, and about a tenth m ore than 44 hours. A verage w eekly earnings w ere $51. 53 and ranged from $10 .86 fo r em ployees who w orked less than 15 hours a week to $77 .87 fo r those who w orked 49 or m ore hours.

Among four broad geographic regions of the United States, average ea rn ings varied by as m uch as 39 cents an hour— from $1. 32 in the South to $1. 71 in the W est. W om en's average earnings of $1 .31 an hour w ere 62 cents an hour le s s than m en 's . E m ployees in m etropolitan areas averaged $ 1 .5 7 an hour, 31 cents m ore than those in nonm etropolitan areas. W orkers in situations which, fo r the m ost part, w ere subject to the F a ir Labor Standards Act had a 25-cent - an-hour pay advantage over those in situations to which the act did not apply.

Earnings d iffered between the two m ajor lines of reta il business c o m prising the general m erchandise group. The wage leve l was $ 1 .1 3 an hour in lim ited p r ice variety stores , in which alm ost half of the w ork ers earned less than $ 1 .0 5 an hour. A verage earnings for departm ent store em ployees w ere 49 cents an hour higher, and only an eighth w ere paid le ss .than $ 1 .0 5 . V ariety store em ployees accounted fo r m ore than tw o-fifth s of the w ork ers in the gen era l m erchandise group rece iv in g less than $ 1 .0 5 , and departm ent store e m p loyees constituted nearly th ree-fou rth s of those rece iv in g at least $ 1 .5 0 an hour.

The p ra ctice of em ploying w ork ers on a p art-tim e basis was m ore p re v a lent in variety than in departm ent stores in June 1962. At that tim e, tw o-fifth s of the em ployees in variety stores , com pared with about three-tenths in dep artment stores , w orked less than 35 hours. A 40-hour week was m ore com m on in departm ent stores , w here tw o-fifths w orked such hours com pared with a fourth in variety stores .

A verage w eekly earnings in departm ent stores w ere $55 .68 and varied from $12. 19 fo r em ployees who w orked le ss than 15 hours to $96. 16 fo r those who w orked 49 or m ore hours. The w eekly average in departm ent stores was $19 .1 0 above the average in variety stores ($ 3 6 ,5 8 ). The wage advantage of departm ent store w ork ers over those in variety stores was $ 3 .0 4 a w eek fo r those working less than 15 hours a week and $38 .25 fo r those w orking 49 or m ore hours.

The June 1962 survey revea led that average hourly earnings fo r e m p loyees of the N ation's general m erchandise stores had in crea sed by 7 cents an hour since a sim ila r survey conducted 1 year ea r lie r . Changes in the d is tr i bution o f earnings o ccu rred p rim arily at the low er pay lev e ls , la rge ly in r e sponse to the enactment of a $ 1 F edera l m inim um wage coverin g m ost em ployees

in large reta il en terprises, e ffective on Septem ber 3, 1961. Between June of 1961 and 1962, the number o f w ork ers paid le ss *rthan $1 an hour in general m erchandise stores brought under the covera ge of the F air Labor Standards A ct d ecrea sed by over 100,000, and the number rece iv in g the $1 F edera l m inim um in crea sed by 40, 000. The survey resu lts indicate that the Fair Labor Standards A ct was e ffective in ra ising w ages of w ork ers brought under its m inim um wage p rov is ion s. F or variety store w ork ers who becam e subject to the act, the p r o p o r tion paid le s s than $1 d ecreased from 37 to 7 percent, w hereas, the proportion s of exem pt w ork ers with such earnings w ere 44 percen t in June 1961 and 40 p e r cent in June 1962. The $1 F edera l m inim um wage had le ss e ffect on the earnings of cov ered departm ent store w ork ers , since only about a twentieth had earned le ss than $1 in June 1961.

C h aracteristic s

Retail stores in the general m erchandise group, although sim ila r in their p ra ctice of selling a num ber o f distinct lines o f m erchandise, include stores that d iffer in many ch a ra cte r is tics which a ffect the leve l and distribution of w ages. F or exam ple, departm ent stores m ake wide use of the com m iss ion or bonus fo rm of wage payment, while lim ited p r ice variety stores use the tim e-ra te m ethod o f wage paym ent a lm ost exclusively . Some general m erchandise stores have only a few em ployees, while others, such as the la rger departm ent stores and m a il-o rd er houses, m ay have severa l thousand. In sm all stores , functions such as selling, buying, recordkeeping, and advertising m ay be handled by one or two em ployees, while in la rger stores , many em ployees m ay sp ecia lize in only one of these functions. O ccupational requirem ents vary even among sa les position s, som e of which requ ire substantial sk ill and experience while others are la rge ly routine. These and other fa cto rs are interrelated but the extent to which any one of them in fluences earnings has not been determ ined in this survey.

A lm ost th ree -fifth s of the m ore than 1. 4 m illion n onsupervisory em p loyees in general m erchandise stores included in the survey w ere em ployed in departm ent stores , about a fifth in lim ited p r ice variety stores , and the rem ainder in m a il-o rd e r houses, m erchandise vending m achine operations, d ire c t selling organizations, and m isce llan eou s general m erchandise stores .

A pproxim ately an eighth of the nonsupervisory em ployees in general m erchandise stores w ere in the West, m ore than a fourth each in the N ortheast and South, and about three-tenths in the North Central region . The reg ional distribution of em ploym ent fo r departm ent stores and fo r lim ited p r ic e variety stores generally para lle led that fo r all general m erchandise stores .

N early th ree-fou rth s of the em ployees in general m erchandise stores w ere women. They accounted fo r m ore than seven-tenths of the w ork ers in d e partm ent stores and fo r a lm ost nine-tenths of those in lim ited p r ice variety stores .

T h ree-fou rth s of the w ork ers in general m erchandise stores w ere em ployed in m etropolitan areas. About fiv e -s ix th s o f those who w orked in departm ent stores and m ore than tw o-th irds of those in lim ited p r ice variety stores w ere em ployed in these areas.

F ou r-fifth s o f the em ployees in general m erchandise stores w orked in establishm ents cov ered by the Fair Labor Standards A ct. A ll but a twentieth of those em ployed in departm ent stores and a lm ost th ree-fou rth s of those in lim ited p r ice variety stores w ere em ployed in such establishm ents.

G eneral M erchandise Stores

A ll N onsupervisory E m p loy ees . N onsupervisory em ployees in general m erchandise stores in the United States averaged $ 1 .5 0 an hour in June 1962 (table 1). Eight percent o f the industry1 s 1 .4 m illion w ork ers included in the survey earned le ss than $ 1 an hour. A sixth o f them earned between $1 and $ 1. 05 am hour, 1 about a third le ss than $ 1. 15, and another third $ 1. 50 or m o re . The la rgest concentration o f w ork ers at any 5 -cen t wage in terval was about 220,000 w ork ers , who earned between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 an hour.

A verage hourly earnings among the geographic regions o f the United S ta tes2 w ere $ 1 .3 2 in the South, $ 1 .4 8 in the North Central reg ion , $ 1 .5 8 in the N ortheast, and $ 1 .7 1 in the W est. D ifferen ces among the regions in the distribution o f individual earnings w ere greater at the low er than at the higher pay le v e ls . The proportions o f w ork ers earning le ss than $ 1 .0 5 an hour, fo r exam ple, ranged from few er than a tenth in the W est to tw o-fifths in the South, w hereas, those earning $ 2 or m ore varied from a tenth in the South to a fifth in the W est.

Men and W om en. W om en em ployed in general m erchandise stores av eraged $ 1 .3 1 an hour, 52 cents an hour le ss than m en (tables 2 and 3). About three-tenths o f the wom en earned le ss than $ 1 .0 5 and m ore than th ree-fou rth s le ss than $ 1 .5 0 . By contrast, about an eighth o f the m en earned le ss than $ 1 .0 5 and approxim ately tw o-fifth s le ss than $1.50 an hour. A fifth o f the m en re ce iv ed $ 2 .5 0 or m ore .

D ifferen ces in wage leve ls between m en and w om en varied with the r e gional lev e l o f earn ings. Men, fo r exam ple, averaged 49 cents an hour m ore than wom en in the South, w here the average pay leve l was the low est, and 74 cents an hour m ore in the W est, w here it was the highest.

V ariations in earnings among the reg ions w ere sm aller fo r wom en than fo r m en. B ased on their average pay leve l in the South, w om en averaged 25 p e r cent m ore in the W est, 17 percent m ore in the N ortheast, and 9 percen t m ore in the North C entral reg ion . The relative pay d iffe ren ces between m en in the South and those in the other regions w ere 33, 22, and 16 percent, r e s p e c t iv e ly .

M etropolitan and N onm etropolitan A re a s . N onsupervisory em ployees in m etropolitan areas averaged $ 1 .5 7 an hour, 3 l cents m ore than those in nonm etropolitan areas (tables 4 and 5). V irtually a ll o f the w ork ers in urbanized areas w ere paid at least $ 1 an hour, nearly an eighth between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 , and slightly m ore than th ree -fifth s le ss than $ 1 .5 0 an hour. The proportion s o f nonm etropolitan area w ork ers at the sam e wage leve ls w ere a fifth, ap p rox im ately a fourth, and about fou r -fifth s , resp ectiv e ly .

The wage d ifferen tia l between m etropolitan and nonm etropolitan area w ork ers did not appear to depend on the leve l o f earnings in the reg ion s . A v erage hourly earnings o f em ployees in the urbanized areas exceeded those in the le ss urbanized areas by 23 cents in the W est, w here earnings w ere highest, and b y '24 cents in the South, where they w ere low est.

Average Hourly Earnings

1 For the ease of reading in this and subsequent discussions of tabulations, the limits of the class intervals are designated as from $1 to $1.0S, or between 35 and 40 hours, instead of using the more precise terminology of "$1 and under $1.05," or "35 and under 40 hours."

2 See appendix A for the States included in each region and for definitions of terms used in this bulletin.

Although m etropolitan area earnings w ere higher in each of the reg ions, the $ 1 .4 1 average in such areas of the South was 12 cents an hour less than that in nonm etropolitan areas of the W est. M ore than three-tenths of the southern w ork ers in large size com m unities had earnings of le ss than $ 1 .0 5 , com pared with few er than a fifth of the w estern w ork ers in sm all s ize com m unities.

E n terprise and Establishm ent S a les-S ize C la s s e s . G eneral m erchandise establishm ents, fo r the purpose of this survey, w ere c la ss ifie d by their annual g ross volum e of sa les (exclusive o f ex c ise taxes), and by the sa les o f their parent en terp rises (tables 6 and 7). 3 F ive -s ix th s o f the general m erchandise w ork ers within the scope of the survey w ere in en terp rises with at least $ 1 m il lion in sa les . A ll but 4 percent o f these w ere in establishm ents with at least $250 ,000 in sa les . In the sm aller sa les volum e en terp rises , em ploym ent was about evenly divided between the two establishm ent s a le s -s iz e c la sse s .

In the Nation1 s general m erchandise en terp rises with annual sa les o f $1 m illion or m ore , w ork ers averaged $ 1 .5 4 an hour. A sixth earned between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 , and nearly a half earned less than $ 1 .3 0 an hour. Earnings fo r w ork ers in establishm ents with $250 ,000 or m ore in annual sa les which w ere part of such en terp rises w ere d istributed s im ila rly , since they constituted the vast m a jority o f the w ork ers in the en terprise s a le s -s iz e c la ss . In estab lish m ents with annual sa les o f le ss than $250 ,0 00 , average earnings w ere 99 cents an hour. T w o-th irds o f the w ork ers earned less than $ 1 .0 5 , and all but a tenth less than $ 1. 30.

The average wage leve l fo r em ployees o f en terp rises with less than $1 m illion in sa les was $ 1 .2 9 an hour. About a fourth of the w ork ers earned less than $ 1 an hour and nearly a fifth w ere concentrated at the $1 to $ 1 .0 5 wage in terval. W orkers in establishm ents with $250 ,000 or m ore in sa les which w ere part o f such en terp rises averaged $ 1 .4 9 an hour, com pared with $ 1 .0 8 in establishm ents with a sm aller sa les volum e. T w o-fifths o f the w ork ers in the sm aller s a le s -s iz e establishm ents earned less than $1 an hour, m ore than three tim es the prop ortion in the la rger s a le s -s iz e estab lishm ents. N early a fifth of the w ork ers in both s a le s -s iz e groups, how ever, w ere found at the $1 to $ 1 .0 5 wage interval.

When average earnings w ere com pared for establishm ents of the sam e s a le s -s iz e group but part of d ifferent s a le s -s iz e en terp rises , h igher pay leve ls w ere not consisten tly found in establishm ents which w ere part o f en terp rises with the higher sa les volum e. F or exam ple, em ployees in establishm ents with sa les o f $250 ,000 or m ore earned 7 cents an hour m ore in en terp rises with sa les o f $ 1 m illion or m ore than in sm aller sa les volum e en terp rises , but e m ployees in establishm ents with sa les o f le ss than $250 ,000 earned 9 cents an hour m ore in the low er than in the higher volum e en terp rises .

The pay advantage of m etropolitan area w ork ers over those in n on m etropolitan areas p ers is ted in the various en terprise and establishm ent s a le s -s iz e c la sse s , although the wage differentia ls w ere greater in establishm ents which w ere part of en terp rises with annual sales of le ss than $1 m illion . M oreover , the grouping o f establishm ents by m etropolitan and nonm etropolitan areas showed that pay leve ls w ere higher in establishm ents with sa les o f $250 ,000 or m ore than in those with a low er volum e of sa les, reg a rd less o f en terprise s a le s -s iz e .

3Generally, establishments with at least $250, 000 in annual sales which were part of enterprises with at least

$1 million in annual sales were included under the coverage of the 1961 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), effective September 3, 1961.


W eekly Hours of W ork

The w orkw eek varied w idely fo r em ployees o f general m erchandise stores (table 8). N early a third of the em ployees w orked le ss than 35 hours a week, and about a half w orked from 35 to 40 hours, in clu sive . A lm ost a fifth of the em ployees w orked m ore than 40 hours, and about half of these w orked m ore than 44 h ours.

A la rg er prop ortion o f wom en than men, 36 and 23 percent, resp ectiv e ly , w ere em ployed on a p art-tim e basis (le ss than 35 hours a w eek). S im ilarly , 51 percent of the w om en com pared with 44 percent of the men w orked from 35 to 40 hours, in clu sive . A longer w orkw eek (m ore than 44 h ou r!) was m ore com m on among m en than wom en— a fifth o f the m en but only a twentieth of the wom en w orked such hours.

Am ong the reg ion s, part-tim e em ploym ent was m ost com m on in the N ortheast, w here 37 percen t o f the em ployees w orked such hours; the la rgest p rop ortion working in ex cess of 44 hours, 15 percent, was found in the South.

In m etropolitan areas, the distribution of em ployees by w eekly hours of w ork c lo s e ly para lle led the d istribution fo r the United States (table 9).

The pattern of wage d ifferentia ls on a w eekly basis genera lly para lle led those prev iou sly noted on an hourly basis fo r the reg ion s, men and wom en, m e tro politan and nonm etropolitan areas, and en terprise and establishm ent s a le s -s iz e c la s s e s .

Departm ent Stores


A ll N onsupervisory E m p loy ees . N onsupervisory w ork ers in departm ent stores in the United States w ere paid an average o f $ 1 .6 2 an hour in June 1962 (table 11). A ll but 2 percen t o f the industry1 s 823,000 w ork ers included in the survey earned at least $ 1 an hour, a tenth earned from $ 1 to $ 1 .0 5 , ap p rox im ately a third less than $ 1 .2 5 , and about half le ss than $ 1 .4 0 .

A verage pay leve ls among the four geographic reg ions o f the United States w ere $ 1 .4 9 in the South, $ 1 .6 1 in the North Central reg ion , $ 1 .6 5 in the N ortheast, and $ 1 .8 3 in the W est. These d ifferen ces in reg ional averages re fle ct variations among the regions in the distribution of em ployee earnings. In the South, fo r exam ple, 23 percen t o f the w ork ers w ere paid less than $ 1 .0 5 an hour and 13 percen t $ 2 or m ore an hour. In the W est, on the other hand, only 2 percen t o f the w ork ers rece iv ed less than $1 . 05 and 26 percen t earned at least $2 an hour. Of the 109,500 departm ent store w ork ers in the United States r e ceiving less than $ 1 .0 5 an hour, 44 percent w ere em ployed in the South.

Men and W om en. The wage leve l fo r wom en in the N ation1 s departm ent stores averaged $ 1 .4 0 an hour, 68 cents an hour below that fo r m en (tables 12 and 13). About a sixth of the wom en earned less than $ 1 .0 5 an hour, m ore than tw o-fifths le ss than $ 1 .2 5 , and approxim ately seven-tenths le ss than $ 1 .5 0 an hour. M ore than tw o-th irds o f the m en, on the other hand, earned at least $ 1 .5 0 , and m ore than tw o-fifth s rece iv ed $ 2 or m ore an hour.

W om en earned le ss than m en in each of the four reg ions— by amounts ranging from 5 3 cents an hour in the South to 79 cents in the W est and North Central reg ion s, re flectin g the greater proportions o f wom en than m en with ea rn ings o f le ss than $ 1. 25 an hour. F or exam ple, in the South, 55 percen t o f the wom en com pared with 25 percent o f the m en earned less than $ 1. 25 an hour. In the W est, the proportions w ere 18 and 4 percent, resp ectiv e ly .

V ariations in reg ion al earnings' leve ls w ere sm aller fo r wom en than fo r m en. Based on their pay leve ls in the South, wom en averaged 3 percen t m ore in the North Central region , 10 percent m ore in the N ortheast, and 20 percen t m ore in the W est. The relative d ifferen ces between m en in the South and those in the other reg ions w ere 16, 12, and 28 percent, resp ectiv e ly .

M etropolitan and N onm etropolitan A re a s . In m etropolitan areas, earnings averaged $ 1 .6 5 an hour, 17 cents an hour m ore than those in nonm etropolitan areas (tables 14 and 15). Although a substantially la rger prop ortion of n on m etropolitan area w ork ers than m etropolitan area w ork ers was clu stered below the $1*05 pay leve l— three-tenths and a tenth, resp ectiv e ly , d ifferen ces narrow ed at the higher pay le v e ls . F or exam ple, the proportions rece iv in g $ 2 or m ore w ere an eighth and less than a fifth, resp ectiv e ly .

B ecause departm ent store em ploym ent was heavily concentrated in the m etropolitan areas of each of the four reg ion s, the distributions o f earnings for w ork ers in these areas generally para lle led the distributions already noted for the reg ion as a w hole. The 34 -cen t-an -h ou r pay advantage o f m etropolitan area w ork ers in the W est over those in the South w as, fo r exam ple, identical to the ov era ll pay d ifferen tia l between the> reg ion s. Only in the South and North C entral reg ions w ere su fficient num bers o f departm ent store w ork ers em ployed in nonm etropolitan areas fo r data to be presented separately . T hese two regions c o m bined accounted fo r n ine-tenths o f the w ork ers paid le ss than $ 1 .0 5 in n on m etropolitan areas of the United States.

E nterprise and Establishm ent S a les-S ize C la s s e s . In departm ent stores , 95 percent o f the w ork ers w ere in establishm ents with $250, 000 or m ore in annual sales which w ere part of en terp rises with $1 m illion or m ore in annual sa les . Consequently, the leve l and distribution of earnings fo r w ork ers in these esta b lishm ents w ere nearly identical to those a lready noted fo r a ll departm ent store w ork ers . F or exam ple, average earnings o f $ 1 .6 4 d iffered by only 2 cents from the ov era ll average of $ 1 .6 2 .

W orkers in en terp rises with le ss than $1 m illion in annual sa les a v eraged $ 1 .3 4 an hour. A sixth earned le ss than $1 an hour, nearly a fourth w ere paid between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 , and alm ost th ree -fifth s re ce iv ed le ss than $1. 25.

W eekly Hours of W ork

A 40-hour w orkw eek applied to about tw o-fifth s o f the departm ent store em ployees and p art-tim e w ork (less than 35 hours a week) to m ore than th re e - tenths (table 18). Only 6 percent of the em ployees w orked m ore than 44 hours.

About tw o-fifth s each of the m en and w om en w orked exactly 40 hours a week (table 19). H ow ever, about a third of the w om en com pared with a p p rox im ately a fifth o f the .men w orked on a part-tim e basis , while slightly m ore than a fourth o f the m en but few er than a tenth o f the w om en w orked in ex cess of 40 hours a w eek.

Am ong the reg ion s, the South and W est had the la rgest proportion s of non su p erv isory em ployees working 40 hours a w eek— 43 and 44 percent, r e s p e c tive ly . The sh orter w orkw eek was m ost com m on in the N ortheast, w here m ore than a third w orked le ss than 35 hours a week. A w orkw eek in ex cess o f 40 hours was m ost prevalent in the South and North C entral reg ion s— in each, nearly a sixth of the em ployees w orked such hours.

A 40-hour w orkw eek applied to tw o-fifths o f the w ork ers in m etropolitan areas and to a third o f those in nonm etropolitan areas (table 19). The p r o p o r tion of w ork ers on a p art-tim e schedule was nearly a th ird in m etropolitan areas and alm ost three-ten ths in nonm etropolitan areas, while the proportions working m ore than 40 hours was m ore than a fifth in nonm etropolitan areas and an eighth in m etropolitan areas.

A verage . W eekly Earnings

Earnings averaged $55 .68 a week for departm ent store w ork ers . The w eekly wage lev e l ranged from $12 .19 fo r em ployees who w orked le ss than 15 hours to $96. 16 fo r those who w orked at least 49 hours. E m ployees who w orked exactly 40 hours a week earned $69. 31. W eekly earnings w ere not always determ ined by the num ber of hours w orked during the w eek. F or exam ple, e m p loyees who w orked over 40 but under 44 hours averaged $75 .87 a week, while those who w orked exactly 44 hours averaged $4. 12 le s s .

The pattern of wage d ifferentia ls on a w eekly basis para lle led those p r e v iou sly noted on an hourly basis fo r the reg ion s, m etropolitan and nonm etropolitan areas, and meiT and w om en. F or each of these ch a ra cte r is t ics , how ever, the relationsh ips varied . F or exam ple, the relative pay advantage of reta il em p loy ees in the W est over those in the South, and o f those in m etropolitan areas over those in nonm etropolitan areas, was greater on an hourly b a s is , but the d i f fe r ential between m en and wom en was greater on a w eekly ba s is .

Lim ited P r ice V ariety Stores


A ll N on su perv isory E m p loy ees , In June 1962, average earnings for non- su p erv isory em ployees o f the Nation* s lim ited p r ice variety stores w ere $ 1 .1 3 an hour (table 21). Earnings fo r th ree -fifth s o f the w ork ers w ere concentrated between $1 and $ 1 .2 5 , and m ore than three-tenths earned between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 . A sixth o f them w ere paid less than $ 1 an hour.

R egional pay leve ls w ere $ 1 an hour in the South, $ 1 .1 2 in the North Central reg ion , $ 1 .2 2 in the N ortheast, and $ 1 .3 2 in the W est. In the South, three-tenths o f the em ployees earned less than $ 1 an hour, tw o-fifth s between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 , and nine-tenths le ss than $ 1 .2 5 ; in the North C entral reg ion , the proportions w ere a fifth, three-ten ths, and fou r -fifth s , resp ect iv e ly ; in the N orth east, a twentieth, three-ten ths, and th re e -fo u rth s ; and in the W est, few er than a twentieth, apout an eighth, and a half.

M en and W om en. A verage pay of $ 1. 10 an hour for wom en strongly influenced the o v era ll pay leve l, sin ce wom en accounted fo r nearly n ine-tenths o f the total em ploym ent (tables 22 and 23). A sixth of the w om en earned le ss than $ 1 an hour, a third between $ 1 and $ 1. 05, and fou r-fifth s le ss than $ 1. 25. Although average earnings o f m en w ere 27 cents an hour h igher, substantial p r o portions o f m en w ere concentrated below $ 1 .2 5 an hour. M ore than half of the m en earned le ss than that amount, about a fifth re ce iv ed between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 , and an eighth le ss than $ 1.

The wage d ifferen tia l between m en and w om en did not always vary in the sam e magnitude as d ifferen ces in the reg ional lev e l o f earn ings. The sm allest d ifferen ce— 21 cents— o ccu rre d in the South, w here average earnings w ere low est, and the la rgest— 35 cents— was in the W est, w here earnings w ere h ighest. H ow ever, men* s earnings exceeded w om en1 s by approxim ately the sam e amount in the North C entral and N ortheast (28 and 27 cents, re sp ectiv e ly ), although average earnings in the fo rm e r reg ion w ere 10 cents an hour low er than in the latter.

D ifferen ces in reg ional pay leve ls w ere som ewhat sm aller fo r w om en than for m en. B ased on their average pay leve l in the South, w om en averaged 11 percent m ore in the North C entral region , 21 percen t m ore in the N ortheast, and 30 percent m ore in the W est. The re lative d iffe ren ces between m en in the South and those in the other reg ions w ere 15, 23, and 36 percent, resp ectiv e ly .

M etropolitan and N onm etropolitan A re a s . N onsupervisory em ployees in m etropolitan areas averaged $1 . 19 an hour, 18 cents an hour m ore than those in nonm etropolitan areas (tables 24 and 25). About seven-tenths o f the m etropolitan area w ork ers w ere paid le ss than $ 1. 25 an hour, earnings fo r nearly three-ten ths w ere c lu stered between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 , and a tenth earned le ss than $1 an hour. In nonm etropolitan areas, a lm ost nine-tenths o f the w ork ers earned le ss than $ 1 .2 5 an hour, about two - fifths * between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 , and three-ten ths le ss than $ 1.

The wage advantage of m etropolitan over nonm etropolitan area w ork ers did not vary sign ificantly among the reg ion s . E arnings in urbanized areas e x ceeded those in le ss urbanized areas by 12 cents in the N ortheast, 14 cents in the South, 17 cents in the W est, and 18 cents in the North C entral reg ion . The prop ortion o f m etropolitan areas w ork ers who earned le ss than $ 1. 25 an hour ranged from 46 percen t in the W est to 86 percen t in the South; the prop ortion of nonm etropolitan area w ork ers with these earnings ranged from 59 to 93 p e r cent in the sam e reg ion s .

Their average hourly earnings exceeded the en terprise average by 3 cents, which re flected the sm aller p roportion s of w ork ers earning le ss than $ 1 and the la rger proportion at the $1 to $ 1 .0 5 an hour wage interval. In establishm ents with annual sa les o f le ss than $250 ,0 0 0 , earnings averaged 97 cents an hour. A lm ost half o f the w ork ers in these establishm ents rece iv ed less than $ 1 an hour, about a sixth between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 , and alm ost nine-tenths le ss than $ 1 .2 5 .

A lm ost as many em ployees w ere working on a p art-tim e basis (40 percent) as w ere w orking from 35 to 40 hours a week, in clusive (46 percen t).

About nine-tenths o f the wom en, com pared with few er than tw o-th irds o f the m en, w orked 40 hours or le ss a w eek.

A w orkw eek o f m ore than 44 hours prevailed for three-tenths o f the m en but fo r only about a twentieth of the w om en.

The N ortheast reg ion had the la rgest proportion o f p a rt-tim e em ployees— nearly half.

A 7 -cen t in crea se in the hourly wage le v e l o f general m erchandise store em ployees between June o f 1961 and 1962 re flected changes in the distribution of individual earnings, the m ost noticeable being a d ecrea se o f 126, 000 w ork ers paid less than $ 1 an hour, and an even greater in crea se in the num ber paid $ 1 or m o re . As shown in the tabulation that fo llow s , the proportion with such earnings was cut in half, accom panied by sm aller in crea ses in the proportion s o f w ork ers who earned from $1 to $ 1 .0 5 and $ 1 .2 5 or m ore an hour.

The r ise in reg ion a l pay leve ls was greater in the N ortheast and South than in the other two reg ion s. A verage earnings in crea sed in the N ortheast by 11 cents an hour from the June 1961 hourly leve l o f $ 1 .4 7 , in the South by 9 cents from $ 1 .2 3 , in the North Central reg ion by 2 cents fro m $ 1 .4 6 , and in the W est by 1 cent from $ 1 .7 0 . M ost o f the w ork ers a ffected by wage changes in the South w ere those paid le ss than $ 1 an hour, who declined in num ber by 76 ,700 between survey y ea rs . The proportion of southern w ork ers with such earnings was m ore than halved, while the proportion earning between $ 1 and $ 1 .0 5 a lm ost doubled. In the North Central region , the proportion o f w ork ers earning le ss than $1 was a lso substantial in June 1961 (about half o f that found in the South), but by June 1962, was m arkedly reduced in con cert with an in c re a se at the $1 to $ 1 .0 5 in terval.

The average leve l o f earnings in departm ent stores and in lim ited p r ice variety stores each advanced by 5 cents an hour betw een June o f 1961 and 1962. H ow ever, changes in the distribution of individual earnings w ere m uch greater in lim ited p r ice variety stores than in departm ent s to re s . The proportion of variety store w ork ers paid less than $ 1 an hour declined from 40 percen t in 1961 to 17 percen t in 1962. The d ecrea se o f 69 ,200 variety store em ployees who w ere paid less than $ 1 an hour accounted fo r 55 percen t of the ov era ll shift in the num ber o f general m erchandise store em ployees with these earn ings.

One year later, the p r o portion was reduced by alm ost th ree -fifth s , while those rece iv in g from $ 1 to $ 1 .0 5 an hour quadrupled, resulting in a la rger proportion at or just above the $ 1 leve l than under the $ 1 leve l in 1962. S im ilarly , in departm ent stores in the South, the num ber of w ork ers paid le ss than $ 1 an hour was sharply reduced, accounting for nearly tw o-fifths of the reduction in the num ber of southern genera l m erchandise store em ployees paid less than $ 1, although few er than a fifth of the departm ent store w ork ers in the South earned le ss than $ 1 in 1961. In the North Central region , the pattern of changes in the wage distribution p a ra lle led that in the South, but was m odified by the sm aller proportion s of w ork ers in both m erchandise groups earning less than $ 1 at the tim e o f the ea r lie r survey.

The proportion o f wom en found at the $1 to $ 1 .0 5 wage interval in crea sed from 15 to 19 percent, and those earning $ 1 .2 5 or m ore from 42 to 46 percent.

Changes in the distribution of individual earnings w ere m uch greater in variety stores w here the proportion of wom en paid less than $1 declined from 42 to 17 percent, and the proportion earning from $ 1 to $ 1.05 nearly doubled. The proportion of w om en in departm ent stores with earnings below the $1 leve l declined from 9 to 3 percent, and the proportion at or just above $ 1 an hour in crea sed only slightly . Such changes fo r m en w ere sm aller than those fo r wom en. Although the wage leve l for m en in crea sed in departm ent stores but not in variety s tores , the m ovem ent of w ork ers from under $ 1 to at least $ 1 was m ore pronounced fo r m en em ployed in variety s to res . Pay d ifferentia ls between m en and wom en actually widened in departm ent stores and narrow ed in variety stores during the year b e tween the two su rveys.

A verage earnings in general m erchandise stores advanced by 6 cents an hour fo r w ork ers in m etropolitan areas and by 8 cents an hour for those in nonm etropolitan a rea s .

In lim ited p r ice variety s tores , 3 out o f 10 w ork ers in m etropolitan areas and 6 out o f 10 in nonm etropolitan areas earned less than $ 1 an hour in June 1961. These ratios w ere reduced to 1 out o f 10 and 3 out o f 10, resp ective ly , by June 1962. The proportions o f departm ent store w ork ers rece iv in g such earnings in June 1961 w ere con siderably sm aller in both m etropolitan and nonm etropolitan a rea s . N everth eless , substantial reductions took p lace in both areas, as noted in the preced ing tabulation. Only for departm ent store w ork ers in m etropolitan a reas, how ever, was there no in crea se in the proportion o f w ork ers earning between $1 and $ 1 .0 5 an hour.

At that tim e, 12 percen t o f the w ork ers earned less than $ 1 an hour. Only 2 percent had such earnings in June 1962, 4 and the proportion at or just above the $ 1 F ed era l m in imum had in crea sed from 12 to 15 percent. The proportion of w ork ers earning $ 1. 25 or m ore in crea sed from 56 to 60 percent, reflectin g , in part, the influence of the operation o f other fa cto rs , such as changes in labor requ irem ents.

The wage leve l in departm ent stores requ ired to pay the $ 1 an hour F ed era l m inim um wage ro se by 6 cents an hour between June 1961 and 1962. The F ed era l m inim um wage amendm ent had only a lim ited e ffect on earnings since all but 6 percen t o f the w ork ers w ere a lready earning at least $ 1 an hour in June 1961.

During the sam e period , the concentration at the $ 1 to $ 1.05 wage interval doubled, but the changes in the distribution above $ 1. 25 an hour w ere re la tive ly sm all.

Changes between June 1961 and 1962 in the leve l and distribution of earn ings w ere not lim ited to em ployees subject to the $1 F ed era l m inim um .

Of the two lines o f business shown separately, only the changes in the wage leve l in noncovered departm ent stores para lle led the ov era ll change, in creasin g by 9 cents an hour. In noncovered variety s tores , earnings declined by 1 cent.

Appendix A: Scope and Method of Survey

Scope of Survey

This bulletin relates to those retail establishments which were classified, according to the 1957 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual, as part o f the general m erchandise group (SIC 53jl Stores within this group were further identified as department stores (SIC 531) and limited price variety stores (SIC 533). The m ajor group includes retail stores which sell m erchandise, such as dry goods, apparel and accessories, furniture and home furnishings, small wares, hardware, and food. In addition to department, variety, and general merchandise stores, this group includes nonstore operations, such as m ailorder houses, vending machine operations, and direct selling organizations.

Department stores carry a general line of apparel, home furnishings, m ajor household appliances, and other lines of merchandise which are normally arranged in separate sections or departments and integrated under a single management. Typically, employment in these stores exceeds 25 persons.

Limited price variety stores handle a variety of low- and popular-price merchandise and are frequently known as M5 and 10 cent11 stores and M5 cents to a dollar1' stores, although merchandise is usually sold outside these price ranges.

The 50 States and the D istrict of Columbia are covered in the survey. The data reflect the earnings and hours of work of nonsupervisory employees for a representative payroll period ending nearest June 15, 1962.

Sample Design

The sample was designed to yield, national and regional estimates for each of the m ajor kinds o f business groups in retail trade and for some specific lines o f retail business. A stratified sample design was used with variable sampling ratios depending on the kind of business and employment size of the sample unit. For example, the sample size for lines of business shown separately was proportionately larger than for those not published and the probability of selection increased with the employment size of the sample unit.

The following tabulation shows the number of units included in the sample of the general merchandise group and in the department and limited price variety stores for which separate data are published.

NumberKind of business of units

General merchandise group------------------- 2, 917

Department stores--------------------------- 962Limited price variety stores------------- 1, 205

Establishment samples were obtained from three different sources: (1) State unemployment insurance listings furnished employer reporting units with eight or m ore em ployees. (2) The large chains tore enterprises provided current lists of retail stores and auxiliary units from which a sample of such units was selected. It was necessary to obtain these lists from the large chainstore enterprises because State unemployment insurance listings frequently provide data on a statewide or county basis for such companies rather than on an individual establishment basis. (3) The Bureau of the Census sample used in conjunction with its Monthly Survey of Retail Sales covering single-unit retail stores with fewer than eight em ployees. The Census coverage of small units was necessary to supplement the Bureau's universe list for retail trade, since State unemployment insurance laws in many States do not cover employers with fewer than four employees.

Method of Collection

The m ajority of the establishments included in the sample were solicited for inform ation by mail. The largest units were visited in person by field economists of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as were the sm allest units by the Bureau of the Census enumerators acting as agents for the BLS. Personal visits were also made to a sample of the nonrespondents to the m ail questionnaire.

Estimating Procedure

Data collected for each sampling unit were weighted in accordance with the probability of selecting that unit. For example, where 1 store out of 10 was selected from an industry-size group, data for that store were considered as representative of the 10 stores in the group. Thus, each segment of the retail trade industry was given its appropriate weight in the total, regardless of the disproportionate coverage of large and sm all stores.

No assumption has been made that the wage structures of the units not responding to the m ail questionnaire were sim ilar to those of the units responding. To minimize the bias resulting from nonresponse, data obtained by personal visits from a sample of nonrespondents were weighted to represent all other nonrespondents in sim ilar industry-size groups. To compensate for schedules with unusable data, their weights were assigned to usuable schedules of the same industry-size group and from the same or related area.

A ll estimated totals derived from the weighting process were further adjusted to the employment levels for June 1962 as reported in the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly em ployment series. The published estimates in this report are, thus, consistent with the p ro duction worker employment shown in the monthly series. Employment estimates for individual industry groups, which the Bureau does not publish monthly, were prepared especially for purposes of this survey. Current regional estimates, which could not be prepared from the monthly series, were based on regional distributions from the m ost recent Census of Business, prepared by the Bureau of the Census.

The adjustment of the survey totals to the predesignated totals for June 1962 was confined, for the m ost part, to that segment of the survey for which the sample units were obtained from State unemployment insurance listings. The lists generally were prepared prior to the time of the survey and consequently do not account for units opened or closed after the date of the lists. In the Census and the large chainstore enterprise samples, the best unbiased estimates of totals were presumed to be the weighted-up sample totals, since there was no apparent problem of unrepresented business births in these groups.

Criteria for Publication of Estimates

The results of this survey differ from those that would have been obtained by a com plete canvass of all retail operations, since the survey was conducted on a sample basis. These differences may be substantial in those instances where the sample was small. It has not been possible, therefore, to present data for all cases. No earnings distributions are shown for groupings of fewer than 50 stores, except for department stores where the sample included most of the large stores in the universe.

Definitions of Terms

Nonsupervisory employees include all full-tim e, part-tim e, seasonal, and casual employees below the supervisory level, such as salespersons, shipping, receiving, and stock clerks, laborers, warehousemen, caretakers, office clerks, driver-salesm en, deliverymen, installation and repairmen, elevator operators, porters, janitors, food serv ice em ployees, and working supervisors.

Establishment is generally defined as a single physical location where business is conducted. In the case of two separate business entities transacting business at a single physical location (for example, a leased shoe department in a department store), each was treated as a separate establishment. On the other hand, a drug store which also operated a food counter was treated as a single establishment.


73

Enterprise. Establishments were considered to be part of a larger enterprise if owned by a company operating other establishments engaged in the same general field of business and under its general direction or control. The terms "enterprise" and "estab- lishment11 were used synonymously for single-unit companies.

Annual volume of sales excludes excise taxes at the retail level.

Earnings data relate to straight-tim e earnings and exclude premium pay for ov er time and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Commission and bonus earnings and special sales bonuses, such as "P .M . ,s" and "stim s" paid quarterly or oftener, are included.

This study is designed to provide information on hourly earnings and weekly hours of work for both male and female nonsupervisory employees and working supervisors for a payroll period ending nearest June 15, 1 9 6 2 . The number of employees in each establishment for which earnings and hours data are reported should correspond with the number of nonsupervisory employees shown in item 3(c) on page 1 . The information requested should be reported separately for each establishment and the establishment identified. Earnings data for food counter, cafeteria, or restaurant workers in Department, Drug, or Variety Stores should be entered only on the blue supplement provided. Data for all other employees should be reported in Item 5 of this form.

Report earnings and hours separately for each employee unless these data are identical for two or more employees. Do not report aggregate earnings and hours for several workers. For convenience of reporting for employees paid on other than an hourly b asis, Columns 5 through 8 are provided. Data will not, however, be published separately by various methods of pay. Instructions and examples for reporting the necessary data in each column are listed below. INSTRUCTIONS

(Please read carefully to avoid correspondence)

Complete columns 1, 2 , and 3 for all nonsupervisory employees covered by this report.

Column (1)— Indicate whether the employee is male (M) or female (F).Column (2)__Use a separate line for each employee and enter " 1 ,” unless two or more employees of the same

sex work the same number of hours during the selected week, and receive identical hourly or salary rates (see example 1). Data are to be reported individually for each employee whose earnings are based entirely or in part on commissions or bonuses (see examples 3, 4, and 5)*

Column (3)— Enter the number of hours worked during the week of June 10 to June 16, 1962. Include hours paid for sick leave, holidays, vacations, etc. These hours should relate to a 1-week period regardless of the length of the payroll period.

Use Column 4 to report earnings of employees paid on an hourly basis.

Column (4)__Enter the base (straight-time) hourly rate. Premium payments for overtime work are excludedfrom the survey and are not to be reported. This column may also be used to report earnings of employees paid on other than an hourly basis if average straight-time hourly earnings are available.

Use columns 5 and 6 to report earnings of employees paid on a weekly, biweekly, monthly, or semimonthly basis.

Column (5)— Enter for each employee the straight-time earning's for the salary period (weekly, biweekly, monthly, or semimonthly) ending nearest June 15, 1962. Include straight-time pay for overtime, but exclude overtime premium. Do not include “ draws” against commission as salary.

Column (6)— Enter the number of hours worked during the salary period (weekly, biweekly, monthly, or semimonthly). Include hours paid for sick leave, holidays, vacations, etc.

These earnings are to be reported for the commission or bonus period ending nearest June 15, 1962. If the commissions earned during that pay period are not representative of normal commission earnings, a longer period may be used. If store employees receive both commission and bonus payments for an identical period of time, report the combined figure (see example 4). If bonus payments cover a period longer than the commission period, add only the prorated amount of the bonus to the commission earnings that correspond to the commission period (see example 5). For employees paid an hourly rate or salary in addition to commissions or bonuses, it is also necessary to complete column 4, or columns 5 and 6 (see examples 4 and 5).

Column (8)— Enter the number of hours worked during the commission or bonus period. (The hours should refer to the total hours worked during the period (weekly, biweekly, monthly, or semimonthly) and not necessarily only to those hours during which commissions or bonuses were earned.)
