This secon d su m m ary o ffe rs data fo r a ll m etropolitan areas com bined ; fo r four b roa d reg ion s; and fo r six m a jor industry d iv is ion s . Data are p resen ted on occupational earn ings, in terarea d iffe ren ces in w a g es , a rea w ages and liv ing co s ts , wage tren ds, occupational wage re la tion sh ip s , w age d isp e rs io n , w ork sch edu les, supplem entary wage b en e fits , and la bor-m an agem en t agreem ent coverage .

O ccupations com m on to a v ariety of m anufacturing and non­m anufacturing in du stries w ere studied on a com m unitywide basis in the se le cte d a re a s . E arn ings data are provided for the fo llow in g types of occu pation s: (a) O ffice c le r ica l; (b) p ro fess ion a l and tech n ica l;(c) m aintenance and pow erplant; and (d) custodia l and m a teria l m ov e ­m ent. Data a lso w ere co lle c te d and sum m arized on shift operations and d iffe re n tia ls ; paid vacation s ; paid h olidays; health, in su ran ce, and pen sion plans; and p rem iu m pay fo r overtim e w ork.

C h a ra cte r is tics o f the 227 A reas

The 227 m etropolita n areas had a com bined population of a l­m ost 118 m illio n in I960, or n early tw o-th irds of the N ation 's total.

1 As established by the Bureau of the Budget through April 1967, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.2 See last page for listing of area bulletins. The Bureau's program of area wage surveys also

covered one nonmetropolitan area (Burlington, V t.). Data for this area are not included in this bulletin. The Akron survey, originally scheduled for June 1968, was deferred to July 1968, to in­corporate significant changes.

3 For a detailed description of the scope and method of survey, see appendix A.

By reg ion , 83 of the areas w ere located in the South, 63 in the North C entral reg ion , 47 in the N ortheast, and 34 in the W est. Even though over on e -th ird of the areas w ere located in the South, le s s than one- fourth of the population w as in these area s . The N ortheast, on the other hand, w hich contained about on e -fifth of the a rea s , accounted! fo r a lm ost on e -th ird of the population. In the South, the average area population was le ss than on e-h a lf o f the average in the Northeast.

R egion al data are in fluenced grea tly by the large m e tro ­politan a reas . In the W est, two su rvey areas— L os A ngeles—Long Beach and Anaheim —Santa Ana—G arden G rov e , and San F ra n cis co — Oakland— account fo r a lm ost on e-h a lf of the population . New Y ork , P hiladelphia , and B oston account fo r on e -h a lf o f the population in the N ortheast; and C hicago and D etroit fo r on e -th ird of the North Central population. In the South, h ow ever, the five la rg est areas com bined account fo r only about on e-fou rth of the population.

E stim ates of earn ings, em p loyer p r a c t ic e s , and supplem en­ta ry benefits in urban em ploym ent are com p osites representin g alm ost 76 ,000 establishm ents that em ploy over 21.1 m illio n w ork ers within scope of the su rvey . The average s ize of establishm ent within scope o f the study ranged fro m 219 em p loyees in the South to 322 in the North Central region . By industry group, the average s ize of estab ­lishm ent ranged fro m 118 em p loyees in w holesa le trade to 403 in public u tilities .

D iffe ren ces in pay lev e ls am ong geograph ic areas re fle ct the influence of a varie ty of fa c to r s , including varia tion in industrial co m ­position . M ore than on e-h a lf of a ll w ork ers within scop e of the survey w ere enaployed in m anufacturing estab lishm ents. (By region , the p r o ­portion v a r ied fr o m about th ree -fifth s o f the w o rk e rs in the Northeast and North C entral reg ion s to s ligh tly le s s than on e-h a lf in the South and W est.)

Occupational Earnings

O ccupationa l earn ings data are presented in this bu lletin fo r a ll in du stries com bin ed , m anufacturing, nonm anufacturing, and fo r the fiv e nonm anufacturing industry d iv isions studied. N um bers of w o rk e r s , m ean s, m ed ian s, m iddle ranges, and d istributions of w ork ers by earn ings are p resen ted , by industry d iv ision , fo r the United States, and fou r b road g eograp h ic reg ion s .

The earn ings data follow ing the job titles are fo r a ll indus­t r ie s com bined . The o m iss io n of an occupation , or an industry d iv is ion w ithin an occu pation , ind icates that either no w ork ers w ere found in that group , or not enough w ork ers w ere reported to provide a re liab le estim a te .

The a v era g es and distributions w ere com piled by com bining varyin g pay le v e ls fr o m establishm ents in many d ifferen t industries and areas having w id e ly divergent pay le v e ls .5 No attem pt is made to iso la te a ll o f the fa c to rs w hich a ffect the lev e ls of earn ings, but the tab les p rov id e in form ation on d ifferen ces in occupational earnings by in du stry d iv is ion , reg ion , and sex.

S lightly le s s than half of the data w ere co lle c te d b e fore F e b ­ru a ry 1, 1968, and, th e r e fo re , w ere not subject to those am endm ents to the F a ir L ab or Standards A ct w hich becam e e ffe ct iv e on that date.

O ffice C le r ic a l O ccupations

The qu arter m illio n w om en se cre ta r ie s within scope of the study averaged $115 .50 a w eek in F ebru ary 1968. Only a fourth of the s e c r e ta r ie s earn ed le s s than $100 a week w hile another fourth earn ed ov er $ 130.50. W om en c lass A s e c r e ta r ie s , usually assigned as p erson a l s e c r e ta r ie s to the highest ranking o ffic ia ls of m edium to la rg e s ize estab lish m en ts , averaged $135 , w hereas s e c re ta r ie s to su p e rv iso rs of a sm a ll group of em ployees or to n on su p erv isory staff s p e c ia lis ts (c la s s D) averaged $105. F or each le v e l o f se c re ta ry stud ied, earn ings w e re highest in public u tilities and low est in re ta il trad e . P u b lic u tility averages often w ere higher than averages of other in du stries fo r the next h igher se cre ta r ia l le v e l, and reta il trade a v erag es w ere often low er than those of other indu stries fo r the next low er le v e l. A v era ge w eek ly earnings of c lass C se c r e ta r ie s in public u tilities ($1 24 .5 0 ) w ere higher than averages o f c la ss B s e c re ta r ie s in w h olesa le trad e ($ 1 2 2 ), re ta il trade ($112.50), and finance ($117.50). The low est paid o ffic e occupation studied was c la ss C file c le rk . W om en in this occu pation averaged $69 a w eek fo r an average 382/2 hour w eek , or an average of about $ 1.80 an hour.

This general pattern o f h igher averages fo r m en than w om en should not be in terpreted as an indication of d iffe re n ce s in p ra c tice s in the paym ent of w ages to the sexes within individual estab lishm ents. A recen t stu d y 6 shows that d ifferen ces in pay fo r m en and w om en p erform in g s im ila r tasks are usually sm all within individual estab lishm ents. F u rth erm ore , d iffe ren ces that do ex ist m ay be due to fa c to rs such as length of s e r v ice and m inor d if ­fe re n ce s in job duties.

A v era ge w eek ly sa la ries of o ffic e w o rk e rs tended to be higher in m anufacturing than in the total nonm anufacturing group, and higher in the W est than in the three other reg ion s .

Wage Differences Among Metropolitan Areas

In tera rea d iffe re n ce s in pay lev e ls are exam ined h ere in term s of average wage rates fo r three occupational groups-— o ffice c le r ic a l , sk illed m aintenance, and unskilled plant. Pay lev e ls in the areas studied are e x p re sse d as percentages of national lev e ls and are p resen ted in table 1 fo r all industries com bined and sep arate ly for m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing.

In com p a rin g wage leve ls between areas , exam ination of a v e r ­age earn ings fo r the sam e sp e c ific occupation am ong areas has been avoided , sin ce this type of com p a rison generally shows wage d if fe r ­en ces betw een areas varying by occupation . Any of sev era l fa c to rs m ay accoun t fo r this variation . P erhaps fo re m o st , occupational a v e r ­ages re p re se n t groups of w ork ers in establishm ents having w idely d iffe ren t pay s tru ctu res and d ifferen t needs in term s of num ber o f w ork ers and types o f occu pation s. These in terestablish m en t d if fe r ­en ces in the position in g of particu lar jobs in a wage or sa la ry s tru c ­ture m ay o c cu r becau se o f d iffe ren ces in evaluation, c o lle c t iv e b a r ­gaining, or the la b or supply situation, and in turn m ay a ffect the occu pation al wage le v e l.

In tera rea d iffe re n ce s based upon the occupational groups included in this study w ill not n e ce s sa r ily co rresp on d c lo s e ly to those obtained by com parin g the averages of b road er grou ps, such as all produ ction w ork ers in m anufacturing or fo r sp e c ific in du str ies . W hereas in te ra re a d iffe re n ce s in pay fo r production w ork ers in som e situations m ay r e f le c t la rg e ly , d iffe ren ces in occupational and sk ill com p os ition o f the production labor fo r ce or in the in ciden ce and nature o f in cen tive pay plans, such influence is elim inated a lm ost co m p le te ly in the in tera rea com pa rison by basing the pay re la tives on a constant lis t of jo b s .

The use o f averages fo r the same group of job s in each area , togeth er with a constant em ploym ent relationsh ip betw een jobs in all a re a s , e lim in ates in terarea d ifferen ces in occupational c o m ­position as a fa c to r in exam ining pay le v e ls .

Pay re la tiv e s based on year ea r lie r averages are included in W ages and R elated B en efits: P art II. M etropolitan A rea s , UnitedStates and R egion al S u m m aries, 1966—67 (BL.S Bulletin 1530-87, 1968). An an alysis o f the e ffe c t of industry m ix, s ize of com m unity , and size o f estab lish m en t on area pay relatives was included in that bu lletin . Since the change in these relationsh ips, over a short p eriod , is not b e lie v e d to be sign ificant, these types o f analysis have not been repeated in this bulletin . Data provided have been lim ited to a d e scr ip tio n of the m ethod used in computing area pay re la tives and a p resen ta tion of the cu rren t pay re la tives .

M ethod of Com puting A rea P ay R elatives

The individual area pay re la tive is a percentage exp ression of the nationwide pay lev e l; fo r exam ple, a re la tive o f 80 indicates that an a re a 's pay le v e l is 80 percen t of the nationwide pay leve l or 20 percen t below the national lev e l.

A ggregates fo r all in du stries com bined and fo r manufacturing and nonm anufacturing sep arate ly fo r each area w ere com puted by m ultiplying the average w eekly sa lary fo r each o f the 20 o ffice jobs and the average stra igh t-tim e h ourly earn ings fo r each of eight skilled m aintenance jobs and two unskilled plant jobs by the a ll-in dustry em ploym ent in the job in all Standard M etropolitan Statistical A reas com bined . The aggregates then w ere ex p re sse d as percentages of like occupational and industry groups in all (227) m etropolitan areas com bined , adjusted fo r d iffe re n ce s in su rvey tim ing.

C o lle ct ion of the data fo r the B u reau 's studies in individual areas was conducted over the cou rse of a year. The area averages relate to d ifferen t pa yroll months throughout this period . In order that individual area pay re la tives can be com p a ra b le , adjustm ent had to be made fo r d iffe ren ces in su rvey tim ing. The adjustm ent assum ed that the wage lev e l fo r all m etropolitan areas com bined in creased u n iform ly during the 12-m onth p eriod fr o m F ebru ary 1967 to F ebru ary 1968. Thus, by adding the appropriate num ber of m onthly wage in c r e ­m ents to the F ebru ary 1967 pay le v e l, an estim ate of the nationwide pay lev e l can be obtained fo r any intervening month in which an individual area was studied. F or exam ple, an area study having a pa yroll re fe re n ce month of M arch 1967 would be com pared to the nationwide pay leve l as of F ebru ary 1967, plus one-tw elfth of the annual nationwide wage in cre a s e . The national estim ates relate to F ebru ary 1967 and F ebru ary 1968. The area su rvey estim ates relate to studies conducted betw een M arch 1967 and F eb ru a ry 1968.

B ecause the area pay re la tives fo r each occupational and industry group are d erived fr o m a com p a rison with sim ilar o c cu ­pational and industry groups in all m etropolitan areas com bined, the pay re la tive representin g all industry is not n e ce s sa r ily the average of the correspon d in g m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing re la tives . The a ll-in d u stry relative fo r o ffice c le r ic a l w ork ers in San Jose is 112 while both m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing re la tives of 110 and 109 w ere low er. This d iffe ren ce is in con tra st to the norm al expected relationsh ip of an average fa lling at or som ew here between the ex trem es o f its com ponents.

In fa c t, r e v e rsa ls of the expected pattern are com m on — som e areas with re la tiv e ly high w ages have m uch low er liv ing costs than areas w here w ages are com parative ly^ low . T hese observation s a r ise fr o m a study of pay le v e ls and liv ing costs in 28 m etropolitan areas in 196 6—6 7.

T hese studies relate to a p er iod 1 year e a r lie r than that fo r the p reced in g section entitled, "W age D iffe ren ces Am ong M etropolitan A r e a s ." Data are provided sep arate ly fo r th ree occu pation al grou ps: Skilled m ain te­nance w o rk e rs , unskilled plant w o rk e rs , and o ffic e c le r ic a l w o rk e rs . 10 The f ir s t group, h ow ever, provided the best com p a rison with living costs data. Earnings of sk illed m aintenance w ork ers m ore n early approach the in co m e 'le v e l requ ired by the standard budget estab lished to m easu re liv ing c o s ts .

In form ation on liv ing costs was obtained fro m the City W o rk e r 's F a m ily Budget, w hich prov ides estim ates of the annual cost in autumn 1966 fo r a m oderate living standard for* a "w e ll-e s ta b lish e d " fam ily o f fou r in the m iddle stage of the fa m ily life c y c l e .1 11 C ost estim ates are availab le fo r the urban United States average and sep a ­rately fo r the urban part o f 39 m etropolitan area s .

Living Costs

A re a D ifferen cesH is tor ica lly , w ages have been m uch low er in the South than

in the rem ainder of the country. The d iffe r e n c e , h ow ev er, is fa r grea ter fo r unskilled w ork ers than fo r th ose with acqu ired sk ills , as shown in table 2. Am ong the 28 areas studied, earn ings fo r u nsk illed plant w ork ers ranged fro m 24 p ercen t above the national average in San F r a n c is co —Oakland to 25 percen t be low in Atlanta; the c o r r e ­sponding spread fo r sk illed m aintenance w o rk e rs w as fr o m 13 percen t above in the San F ra n c is co area to 19 p ercen t below the national a v e r ­age in P ortland , M aine. A verage h ou rly earn ings o f sk illed m a in te­nance w ork ers w ere 5 percen t or m o re above the national le v e l in each of the four w est coast a reas , and in C h icago , D etro it , and M ilw aukee; at the national average in B a ltim ore , H ouston, and P ittsbu rgh ; and below the a ll-m etrop o lita n a re a 's average in each of the rem ain ing southern a re a s , and in Boston , C incinnati, D en ver, G reen Bay, P h il­adelphia, P ortland , M aine, and W ichita.

C on siderably d ifferent area ranking resu lts when liv ing co sts are com pared . Although living costs w e re re la t iv e ly low in all o f the southern areas except W ashington, and high in m ost o f the h igh -w age a re a s , se v e ra l exceptions are apparent. L iv in g co s ts in B oston w ere exceeded only by those in the New Y ork —N orth eastern New J e rse y area , but the area ranked 23d for w ages paid to sk illed m aintenance w o rk e rs . C on versely , D etroit, with the secon d h ighest le v e l o f sk illed w ages, ranked 21st a ccord in g to liv ing co s ts .

L iving costs in New Y ork area w ere 9 p ercen t above the a v e r ­age fo r a ll m etropolitan areas . W ages of sk illed m aintenance w ork ers th ere , h ow ever, w ere only slightly above the national le v e l and w ere exceeded in on e-ha lf of the areas studied.

Living costs in three southern areas (Atlanta, D a llas, and Houston) w ere approxim ately 10 p ercen t below the av erage fo r a ll m etropolitan areas . W ages of sk illed w o rk e rs in Houston equaled the national average and w ere 6 percen t h igher than those in Atlanta and a lm ost 10 percen t above those in D allas. Although w ages of sk illed m aintenance w ork ers w ere n early the sam e in H ouston and the New Y ork area , living costs in New Y ork ex ceed ed those in H ouston by 22 percen t.

A verage w ages of sk illed m aintenance w ork ers w ere only sligh tly m ore in B oston than in Atlanta; liv in g co s ts in this New England area , h ow ever, w ere 20 p ercen t g rea ter than in Atlanta.

To illustrate the assoc ia tion , or la ck of it, betw een liv ing costs and w age lev e ls am ong the a re a s , indexes of re la tive advantage

indexes of re la tive advantage w ould be 100. H ow ever, the indexes revea l that the range fo r the re lative advantage estim ates is n early the sam e as fo r the w age re la tives th em selves; fo r instance, the re la tive advantage fo r sk illed m aintenance w ork ers ranges fr o m 82 to 115, w hile the w age re la tives fo r this occupational group range from 81 to 113. The gain is m ost pronounced fo r a few southern a r e a s .12

C le a r ly , the re la tive advantage enjoyed by sk illed m aintenance w o rk e rs in the South does not extend to the unskilled group. 13 * The index fo r u nsk illed plant w ork ers in Houston (87) d iffe rs substantially fr o m that fo r sk illed m aintenance w ork ers there (112). Atlanta, in the indexes fo r the u nsk illed group, ranks below B oston and P ortland , M aine, but the re la tive advantage index fo r sk illed labor in Atlanta was co n s id e ra b ly h igher than those for the two New England a reas .

The fa ct that a lm ost seven-tenths of the index estim ates are above 100 is in d icative of the relative advantage of w ages to liv ing costs in m ost of the 28 a reas . This advantage, fo r the m ost part, is m o re the resu lt of high w age lev e ls than low living costs .

A re a d iffe re n ce s in wages for s im ila r ly em ployed w ork ers are frequ en tly m o re the resu lt of fa ctors other than d iffe ren ces in liv ing co sts as m ea su red by the City W ork er 's F a m ily Budget.

The h is to r ic a l tendency for w ages to be low est in the South and h ighest on the w est coast and the highly in du stria lized c itie s of the N orth Central re g io n , to som e extent, re fle cts d iffe ren ces in the ava ilab ility of la bor in these region s when the re la tive w age lev e ls f ir s t w ere estab lish ed . As the South began em erg ing fro m an a g r i­cu ltural econ om y , it had a surplus of labor. The developm ent of in ­du stry on the w est co a st , h ow ever, had its beginnings with a shortage o f la bor .

O ther fa c to r s , o f co u rse , help explain area wage d ifferen tia ls . One of the m ost im portant of these is a d ifferen ce in industria l co m p o ­s ition . The high w age le v e l in D etroit, for exam ple, r e fle cts the in flu ­ence of the auto industry w hich is concentrated in that area . H ouston has a h igher le v e l of w ages than m ost of the other southern areas co v e re d by this study, probab ly because of the loca tion there of h igh - w age in du stries such as ch em ica ls and petroleum refin ing . V ariations in the extent of c o lle c t iv e bargaining, s ize of estab lishm ent, and s ize o f com m unity a lso have their in fluences on the le v e l of earnings in an area .

The weakness of the association can be measured by the low correlation between living costs and wage levels. The r o f .281 shows a positive direction in the relationship. The r 2 of .08, indicating that 8 percent of the variability in wages is associated with variability in budget costs, is not statistically significant.

1 3 The Bureau has recently published estimates of the spring 1967 costs of the moderate standard budget and of budgets for a lower and a higher living standard. Comparative living costindexes based on the lower standard budget will be more appropriate for use with wage data for un­skilled plant workers.

L iving c o s ts , on the other hand, are determ ined by a different set of fa c to rs . The City W o rk e r 's F a m ily Budget m ea su res the annual incom e requ ired by a se lf-su p p ortin g fam ily of a sp e c ific s iz e , age, com p os ition , re s id e n ce , and em ploym ent status to m aintain a m oderate living standard. Thus, it not only m ea su res the cost of various goods and se r v ice s but a lso takes into account area d iffe re n ce s with respect to how such a liv ing standard is ach ieved— either by custom or ne­ce ss ity . E xpenditures fo r cloth ing, housing, and heating, fo r exam ple, are n e ce s sa r ily h igher in som e n orthern c ities than in those of the South, since the need fo r heavy c lo th es , w e ll-in su la ted houses, and fu el is g rea ter .

F a cto rs such as reg ion a l food p r e fe re n ce s , d ifferen ces in State and lo c a l ta xes , and varia tion s in p r ice s of consum er goods are a lso im portant in explaining the d iffe ren ce in liv ing costs from place to p la ce . Of c o u rse , the le v e l of w ages has som e in fluence on living co s ts , but it is by no m eans the ch ie f determ inant.

T rends and Outlook

A re a wage relationsh ips have rem ained re la tive ly stable fo r se v e ra l y e a rs . Although com parab le data are available for only a few of the 28 areas co v e re d by the study, the re la tive wage lev e ls fo r m aintenance w ork ers in these areas have rem ained about the sam e since 1951, as shown in the fo llow in g tabulation:

Changes in area relationsh ips over the 15 -yea r p eriod w ere g reater fo r liv ing costs 14 than fo r w ages of m aintenance w o rk e rs . At least part of the rep orted d iffe re n ce s , h ow ever, is due to changes in the housing com ponent o f the City W o rk e r 's F a m ily Budget. P r e ­v iou sly , rental costs w ere based on average rents fo r all units m eeting the adequacy c r ite r ia . In the autumn 1966 budget, h ow ever, rental costs w ere based on a n arrow er range o f dw elling unit quality. As a resu lt, the published co st fo r rental housing in Atlanta (the m ost e x ­trem e exam ple), was only 18 percen t h igher in 1966 than the estim ate published in 1951, w hereas the tota l budget costs fo r renter fa m ilies

14 Living costs comparisons in this instance are limited to renter families as this was the only measure used in the 1951 budget; data for homeowner families were included in the 1966 budget but separate data are available for renter families.

in Atlanta has in creased by n early 90 p ercen t o v er the 15 -yea r period . In con trast, New Y o rk 's rental housing costs have gone up by about 81 p ercen t and total budget costs have r ise n 122 percen t sin ce 1951. H ow ever, in New Y ork (used as the ba se fo r the com putation in the tabulation), rent con tro l was in e ffe c t in 1951 but by 1966 co v e re d re la tive ly few er units.

In his study of region al w age d if fe r e n t ia ls ,15 H .M . Douty sa id , "It is unlikely that the southern w age d iffe re n tia l, how ever m ea su red , w ill d isappear in the near fu tu re ." The fo r c e s that m ay eventually c lo se the wage gap w ork slow ly. S im ila r ly , a rea d iffe re n ce s in liv ing costs are not expected to change m a te r ia lly ov er the sh ort run.

Occupational Wage Relationships

P ercen ta ge d iffe re n ce s in pay betw een sk illed and unskilled w ork ers have rem ained about the sam e during the past 15 y ea rs . In the m ost recen t p er iod studied, 1966—67, the average establishm ent paid its sk illed m aintenance w ork ers fr o m 35 to 45 percen t m ore than its m en ja n ito rs . 18 P ay fo r w om en in sev era l of the routine o ffice c le r ic a l jo b s studied w as below the ja n itor rate in the m edian establishm ent.

R eg ion a lly , d iffe re n ce s in pay betw een sk illed and unskilled manual w o rk e rs w ere usually la rg est in the South. In all reg ion s , such d iffe ren ces tended to be la rg e r in nonm anufacturing e sta b lish ­m ents than in those engaged in m anufacturing.

M ethodThis study is based on data fr o m the Bureau of L abor Sta­

tis tics su rveys of occupational earn ings in m etropolitan areas con ­ducted during the year ending June 1967. 19 In these su rveys data w ere obtained fro m individual estab lishm ents on the stra igh t-tim e earnings of w ork ers in se le cte d plant and o f f i c e 20 occu pation s. The m ea su res of occu pation al w age relationsh ips relate to those in indi­vidual estab lishm ents. In each establishm ent cov e re d by the study, the earnings of w ork ers in a sp e c ific occupation w ere ex p ressed as a percen tage of the average earn ings of m en ja n itors in that estab ­lish m e n t.21 This m ethod was used since occupational pay relationsh ips based on averages fo r a group of estab lishm ents m ay d iffer m a teria lly from those m aintained by individual estab lishm ents. A group average for one occu pation m ay, fo r exam ple, re la te to a d istin ctly d ifferent set of establishm ents than th ose com p ris in g the group average fo r another. Should the w age le v e ls of these two sets of establishm ents differ ap p recia b ly , the resu ltin g d iffe ren ce in the averages fo r the two occupations m ight be g rea ter than the d iffe ren ce in any individual establishm ent.

18 Earnings o f men janitors were used as the base for these computations because they were employed in most establishments, and their wages were at or near the bottom of the pay scale.

Data in this study relate to surveys conducted by the Bureau 1 year earlier than most of the area surveys referred to in this bulletin.

20 Straight-time hourly earnings for office occupations were obtained by dividing weekly earnings by standard weekly hours for which straight-time salaries were paid. These were related to the janitors' straight-time hourly earnings to obtain a ratio, thus enabling comparisons of both plant and office jobs.

The approximate wage relationship between any two occupations shown for the same region or industry grouping may be computed by using the percentages shown as absolute numbers; for example, as the median percentages for maintenance electricians and receiving clerks in manufacturing are 142 and 119, respectively, the average wage relationship of electricians to receiving clerks will „be found to be 119 percent (142/119 x 100).

21 The establishments used in these computations were limited to those with 100 workers ormore, employing men janitors, and reporting data for worikers in at least one of the other jobs studied;the number o f establishments involved thus varied somewhat by occupation.

In com parisons with p rev iou s y e a r s , data fo r 1953 and 1962 w ere obtained in a m anner sim ila r to that d e s cr ib e d fo r the curren t (1966—67) p eriod and are lim ited to the areas and occupations com m on to all p e r io d s .22 Inform ation on occu pation al w age re la tion sh ips p r io r to 1953 re lates to that obtained fro m group a v e r a g e s .23

occupations are provided separately fo r m anufacturing and nonm anu­facturing industries in table 5. A s in d icated , pay d ifferen tia ls fo r sk illed m aintenance w ork ers usually w ere m uch la rg e r am ong non­m anufacturing establishm ents than am ong th ose in m anufacturing; fo r exam ple, the large d ifferen ce fo r carp en ters in nonm anufacturing com p a red with those in m anufacturing. T h ese d iffe re n ce s are due p r im a rily to the p ra ctice fo llow ed by m any la rg e reta il trade f ir m s , of paying their m aintenance em p loyees a cco rd in g to estab lish ed union sca le s fo r construction w ork— rates usually substantially h igher than those paid by m anufacturing estab lishm ents fo r m aintenance w ork . A nother fa ctor is that w ages of ja n ito rs and other u nskilled w o rk e rs in nonm anufacturing establishm ents tend to be low er than w ages of com pa ra b ly em ployed w ork ers in m anufacturing.

E a r lie r Bureau studies d iscu ssed fa c to rs w hich have con trib ­uted to the narrow ing of sk ill d ifferen tia ls . The studies in 1953 and 1956 indicated that the tendency fo r occupational w age d ifferentia ls to narrow had slow ed down and that the p rob lem of m aintaining sk ill d if­feren tia ls in crea s in g ly was being recog n ized in labor-m anagem ent n egotiations.

Intraoccupational Wage Dispersion

In all occu pation al wage su rveys varying d egrees of in tra ­occupational w age d isp e rs io n are found, no m atter how n arrow ly the job or area is defined. The h ighest rate paid w ork ers often exceeds by 100 percen t or m ore the rate paid oth er w o rk e rs in the sam e o c ­cupation, industry d iv is ion , and area . A la ck of wage d isp e rs io n would be h ighly im probab le since wage rates are drawn fro m a varie ty of industries and establishm ents having w idely divergent pay le v e ls .

Indexes of d isp e rs io n are presen ted in table 11 fo r se le cted occupations in m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing industries in 85 su rvey areas and a lso fo r the United States and four broad reg ion s. Each d isp e rs io n value in table 11 has an accom panying m easu re of skew ness w h i c h in dicates the departure fr o m sym m etry i*i the d istribution .

F a cto rs A ffectin g D isp ers ion

D isp ers ion values w ere low in sev era l areas w here the m anu­facturing industria l com p os ition w as dom inated by a few or one m a jor type of industry. An exam ple of such an area is D etro it, w here auto­m ob ile m anufacturing and com plem en tary in du stries dom inate the m arket. H ow ever, since excep tion to the D etroit exp erien ce can be found read ily , a further refinem ent is needed.

In a com p a rison of d isp e rs io n values fo r two areas w here a single m anufacturing industry was dom inant, d isp e rs io n indexes w ere much low er in one area . The m ost lik e ly reason fo r the value d if fe r ­ences is that one la rg e fir m accounted fo r production in the area with low d isp ers ion va lu es, w hile in the other area there w ere se v e ra l large firm s with d iffer in g pay stru ctu res .

The p rop osition that d isp e rs io n values are low in areas w here a pa rticu la r industry is h ighly concentrated gen era lly is valid when occupational earn ings within that industry fa ll into a narrow range. When the latter condition is absent high d isp e rs io n values are m ore likely . In exam ining an area w here one industry is dom inant, high d isp ersion values w ere found fo r m ost of the occupational c la s se s used in this study. Inspection of establishm ent data fo r the la rg est firm revea led that the com pany had a v e ry broad range of rates pay stru ctu re. By rem ovin g w age data fo r this com pany in two test o c c u ­pations, d isp ers ion values dropped sharply .

app licab ility . Such applicab ility is another con s id era tion in explaining d isp e rs io n values in areas with high con cen tra tion of a pa rticu la r industry. When other fa ctors are co n s id e re d , the occu pation s used in this study m ust be view ed in light o f th eir com p a tib ility to the dom inant industry; for exam ple, in explaining d isp e rs io n values fo r too l and die m akers in areas w here o il r e fin e r ie s and ch em ica l in ­du stries are dom inant, fa ctors other than a re a -in d u stry dom inance m ust be em ployed since this occu pation is not n u m erica lly im portant in such industries.

Wage d isp ersion values are g en era lly low er in areas w here labor-m an agem en t agreem ent covera g e is w idesp rea d . In the fo llow in g table the 10 highest and 10 lo w e s t2® a re a s , in te rm s o f union ization in m anufacturing, are shown. The value a sso c ia te d with each area is the sim ple average d isp ersion value fo r the seven plant occu pation s in m anufacturing (table 11).

Som e overlap in the values fo r th ese area groupings o c cu rr e d , but the average fo r the areas with low in ciden ce of labor-m an agem en t agreem ent coverage was seven index points above the other group. G reen v ille is an area with v e ry few union ized w ork ers in m anu fac­turing and yet the indexes of d isp e rs io n w ere ty p ica lly low . P art of the answ er is that the area has a con cen tra tion of one type of industry (te x tile s ) .

The expecta tion of low d isp ersion values a sso c ia te d with a high degree of un ion ization is based on the nature of union agreem en ts. T hese agreem en ts fo rm a lize occupational titles and du ties , assign a c la ss or su b c la ss , and set a rate or range of ra tes . When an o c c u ­pational pay le v e l is being negotiated in an area with m any em p lo y e rs , one of the ch ie f bargaining points is the "go in g" rate fo r the jo b . This in turn has a cen tra liz in g effect on the job rate , lessen in g d is ­p e rs io n ten d en cies . (In contracts negotiated nationally , the "g o in g" rate fo r an occu pation in each area involved is not an im portant bargain ing point.)

The m ovem en t of a high paying national f ir m into or out of a low -p ay in g area cou ld have an e ffect on w age d ispersion s. When a h igh - paying com pany m ov es into an area , whether or not d isp e rs io n values change, and to what d eg ree depends on fa ctors such as the relationsh ip of ex isting occu pation a l sk ills to the new com pany ’s n eeds, the supply o f and dem and fo r la b or , the respon se of established em p loyers to the new situation , and the new com pany ’ s rate stru ctu re . If the new com p a n y 's need fo r a p articu lar occupation is s ign ifican t, changes in quartile and d is p e rs io n values w ill o ccu r . E stablish ed firm s paying low er rates m ay be fo r ce d to in crease w ages to keep or attract e m ­p lo y e e s , the am ount pa rtia lly conditioned by the ava ilab ility of la bor .

Som ewhat s im ila r in e ffect to m ovem ent of a f ir m into or out of an a rea is a sharp change in em ploym ent of a la rg e , estab lished fir m . B ecau se of the sen sitiv ity of quartile values to changes in e m ­p loym en t, the d ire c t io n and amount of index changes are dependent on v a ria b les such as (a) the num ber of w ork ers involved re la tive to the or ig in a l num ber in each occupation , (b) the rate stru ctu re of the com pany.

The B u rea u 's area wage surveys are tim ed , w here p o s s ib le , to r e fle c t m a jor w age settlem ents. H ow ever, the Bureau attem pts to m aintain 12 m onth in terva ls fo r these su rveys, w hile the duration of som e union con tra cts are not in m ultiples of 12 m onths, or n ego ­tiations are p ro tra cted after contract expiration dates. If data fo r a la rg e , h igh -payin g f ir m re fle ct a recen t wage settlem ent, area indexes are lik e ly to be la rg e r . T h eoretica lly , in an expanding econ om y, as the su rvey year p r o g r e s s e s d isp ersion values within the area declin e as other em p loyers rea ct or other contract te rm s b ecom e e ffe ct iv e .

In low -p ay in g a re a s , the e ffective date of am endm ents to the F a ir L abor Standards A ct of 1938 can influence index va lu es; fo r exam ple, if a low -pay in g area is surveyed in January, and a new F e d e ra l m in im um w age b ecom es e ffective in F eb ru a ry , in a ll l ik e l i ­hood d is p e rs io n valu es would be higher fo r January than those found if a r e su rv e y w e re done in F ebru ary . Som e em p loyers use the F e d ­era l m in im um w age as a base upon which to add a d ifferen tia l; thus,

93

a new w age flo o r can m ean a w age in cre a se fo r som e w ork ers already at or above the m inim um w age. In an area w here a new minim um w age has such e ffe c ts , the range betw een the f ir s t and th ird quartiles ty p ica lly n arrow s, producin g sm a lle r d isp e rs io n va lu es.

When United States and reg ion a l data co lle c te d p r ior to and after the 1966 am endm ents to the F a ir L abor Standards A ct w ere com p a red , changes in index values w ere m in o r , except in the South w here som e la rge d e cre a se s in values o c cu rre d . Since w ages in the South are gen era lly the low est in the N ation, in th is reg ion d isp ersion values fo r unskilled plant w ork ers w ere p red icta b ly low er after the 1966 am endm ents. W hile index values fo r the United States rem ained unchanged fo r m en ja n itors and m a teria l handling la b o re rs in m anu­factu rin g , com parab le observation s fo r the South d e crea sed fro m 50 to 39 and fr o m 48 to 40, re sp e ctiv e ly .

The 1966 am endm ents included con s id era b le num bers of w o rk e rs in nonm anufacturing in du stries not p re v io u s ly covered . The relationsh ip of index changes fo r nonm anufacturing activ ities in the South to the United States and other reg ion s w as essen tia lly the sam e as the m anufacturing re la tionsh ip d iscu sse d above. D ecrea ses in non­m anufacturing indexes in the South w ere m od era te ly la rg er than d e ­c re a se s o b serv ed fo r m anufacturing in the sam e reg ion .

Since the p reviou s study of w age d is p e r s io n s , 27 the South w as the on ly reg ion to show no in cre a s e s in d isp e rs io n values fo r the jo b s studied in nonm anufacturing.

The indexes of d isp e rs io n w ere com puted by dividing the in terqu artile range (Q3—Qi) by the m edian (Q2) and m ultiplying by 100 (Q3—Q1/Q 2 x 100). A m easu re o f re la tive d isp e rs io n rather than of absolute d isp e rs io n w as se le cte d , sin ce w id e ly d iffer in g pay le v e ls , as m ea su red by a v e ra g e s , w ere found am ong the occu pation s, in ­d u str ies , and areas studied. This m ea su re o f re la tive d isp ersion le sse n s the im pact of v e ry high and v e ry low pay rates reported fo r an occupation . The se le ct io n of occu pation s used w as based on their n u m erica l im portan ce.

The m easu re of skew ness a ssoc ia ted with each d isp ersion value w as obtained by subtracting the m edian fro m the m ean, dividingby the m ean, and m ultiplying by 100 . The valueobtained e x p re sse s the p ercen t by w hich the m ean d iffe rs fro m m edian. A pos itive value indicates that the d istribu tion is skew ed to the right and that the m ean is grea ter than the m edian. A negative value indi­cates the opposite . If a d istribu tion is sy m m e tr ica l, the m ean and m edian are equal and a value of z e ro is shown.

United States and R egion al D isp ersion s

N ationwide indexes w ere c lo s e ly grouped fo r the five sk illed trades (14—19) and fo r o ffic e c le r ic a l jo b s (21—27). The spread fo r the m ore u nsk illed plant job s w as fr o m 23 (fork lift op era tors ) to 40 (m ateria l handling la b o r e rs ) .

R eg ion a lly , high d isp e rs io n values w ere found m ore often in the South than e lsew h ere . That the South is le s s ex ten siv e ly union ized, and that the average s ize of f irm is con s id era b ly sm aller than in other re g io n s , lend support to the e a r lie r contention associa tin g high d isp ersion values with these fa c to rs . P erhaps m ore im portant s t ill is the pecu lia r industria l com p os ition of the South, w h ere , to a degree not found e lse w h e re , high paying indu stries (such as ch em ica ls and petroleu m refin ing) c o -e x is t with m uch low er paying industries (such as tex tiles and certa in food p rodu cts).

Of the 20 occu pation al observation s (m anufacturing and non­m anufacturing), the W est had the low est d isp e rs io n values fo r 13 and tied another position . The N ortheast had the low est indexes in th ree positions and tied one, w hile the South and North C entral reg ion s each had one low est and one tied .

Changes in d isp e rs io n values fr o m 1961 to 1968 w ere m ostly in cre a se s . In 16 observation s w here nationwide com p a rison s could be made there w ere 11 in cre a se s and five d e c re a s e s . The in cre a se s ranged fro m 1 index point fo r s e c re ta r ie s in nonm anufacturing to 9

fo r m a teria l handling la b orers in both m anufacturing and nonm anu­factu ring . D ecrea ses ranged fro m 1 to 4. R eg ion a lly , m ost of the in cre a se s in d isp ersion values o c cu rr e d in the N orth C entral and South. N ationally, and in the reg ion s , m ost o f the in cre a s e s o c cu rre d in m anufacturing, and about tw o-th irds o f the d e c re a se s w ere rep orted in nonm anufacturing.

Data co lle cted in 1954, 1961, and 1968 fo r 17 of the. la rg e r areas w ere exam ined fo r change in w age d is p e rs io n va lu es. In the p er iod s 1954—61, 1961—68, and 1954—68, no single a rea p resen ted a consistent re co rd of in crea ses or d e c re a se s fo r both m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing fo r the nine jo b s se le cte d . Indexes fo r a ll o c ­cupations in manufacturing in C h icago, D etro it, and St. L ou is w ere h igher in 1968 than in 1954.

Table 12 su m m arizes the num ber o f points change in the in dexes. In the fir s t of the tim e p e r io d s shown (1954—61) m o re in ­c re a s e s than d ecrea ses in d isp ers ion valu es o c cu rr e d . The opposite w as true fo r the second tim e p er iod (1961—68). In cre a se s accounted fo r 59 percen t of the index changes in the f ir s t p e r io d and 48 p ercen t in the secon d . About half of the changes in a ll p e r io d s fe l l w ithin a narrow band of plus or minus 4 poin ts. About th ree -ten th s fe ll in the range of plus or minus 5 to 9 points; and the rem ain ing on e -fifth w ere plus or minus 10 points or m ore . The th ird p e r io d (1954—68) e n co m ­p a sse s the two other p er iod s , and the values fo r this p e r io d suggest that sh o rt-te rm shifts in d isp ers ion valu es read just o v e r the lon ger p er iod . In creases and d e cre a se s fo r the o ffic e occu pation a l g rou ps, p a rt icu la rly in nonm anufacturing, changed m o re e r ra t ic a lly than the other grou ps. Thus, no d isce rn ib le pattern tow ards u n iform ity of rates could be found.

Changes in paid holidays during the p eriod fr o m I960 to 1968 usually involved additional holidays— ones w hich provide long w eekends rather than the addition o f trad ition al h olidays. The m ost frequent im provem ent in vacation p ro v is io n s was the reduction in the se rv ice requ irem ent fo r 3 and 4 w eeks of vacation and the advancem ent of p rov is ion s fo r 4 w eeks fr o m the exception to the com m on p lace . The trend in health, in su ran ce , and pen sion plans has been tow ards c o v ­erage of w ork ers by m ore plans.

Am ong the industry d iv is ion s , the la rg est in cre a se fo r o ffic e w ork ers was in m anufacturing, w here the average num ber of days in cre a se d fro m 7.4 to 8.2 days. F o r plant w o rk e rs , the la rg est in crea se was eight-tenths of a day in m anufacturing. The 8.7 average fo r o ffic e w ork ers in finance was st ill the m ost lib e ra l holiday p ro v is io n , despite the tw o-tenths declin e since I960. P art of this d e cre a se can be attributed to som e banks w hich im proved other w orking conditions (e .g ., c losin g on Saturdays) w hile reducing

the num ber of paid h olidays. The a ll-in d u s try average o f 8.1 paid holidays fo r o ffice w ork ers was in flu enced by the high average in the finance d iv ision . The average drops to 7.9 w hen an a ll-in d u stry a v ­erage without the finance d iv ision is com puted. 30

R egion ally , the N ortheast w as the lea d er in the average num ­ber of paid holidays provided fo r both plant (8.2) and o ffic e w o rk e rs (9 .4). The North Central region , having average in cre a s e s o f 1 day fo r plant w ork ers and seven-tenths of a day fo r o ff ic e w o rk e rs , show ed the grea test upward m ovem ents s in ce I960 in the average num ber of holidays rece iv ed .

P r io r to last year*s su rvey , o ffic e w o rk e rs r e ce iv e d m ore paid holidays than plant w ork ers in the sam e industry and reg ion . In 1967, both plant and o ffice w ork ers in the N orth C entral reg ion a v ­eraged 7 l/z holidays a year , and this year (1968) both groups had an average of 7.7 paid holidays annually. B y in dustry , on ly tw o-ten th s of a paid holiday separated the average num ber prov id ed fo r plant and o ffice w ork ers in public u tilit ie s , and th ree -ten th s o f a day in m anufacturing and w holesale trade. The d iffe re n ce s betw een the two em ploym ent groups are generally d im in ish ing. The percen ta ge of plant w ork ers rece iv in g 9 paid holidays or m o re has tr ip le d (7 to 26 percen t) fr o m I960 to 1968. F o r o ffic e w o rk e r s , the sam e p ro v is io n s changed by 13 percentage points— fr o m 24 to 37 percen t. M ost o f the a ll-in d u stry in crease fo r plant w o rk e rs can be attributed to m anu­factu ring , where th ree-fou rth s of the w o rk e rs a re union ized. M anu­facturing em ploys 62 percen t of the plant w o rk e r s , and the p ro p o rtio n of these w ork ers rece iv in g 9 holidays or m o re has in cre a se d fr o m 6 to 35 percen t.

Am ong the reg ion s , the N orth C entral reg ion show ed the grea test upward m ovem ent of plant w o rk e rs in a ll in du stries r e c e iv ­ing 9 paid holidays or m ore— fro m 1 p ercen t in I960 to 29 p ercen t in 1968. F o r o ffice w ork ers in th is reg ion , the in cre a se w as fr o m 8 to 27 percen t. A part of this in cre a se w as accoun ted fo r by in ­c re a se s in paid holidays in the auto and rubber in du stries during the 8 -y e a r period .

The trend in paid holidays seem s to be away fro m the addition of one of the traditional holidays and tow ard the addition of days that w ould provide w ork ers with grea ter le is u re o r lon ger w eekends. "F loa tin g " holidays generally are used to p rov id e the w o rk e rs with long w eekends. F o r exam ple, if C h ristm as fa lls on T u esday, then C h ristm as Eve is granted as a holiday; but if C h ristm as is on a Thursday, then a holiday is granted on F r id a y . The day after Thanks­giving a lso provides a longer w eekend.

3 0 In comparing national and regional averages for plant and office woikers, it should be kept in mind that the liberal provisions for banks and insurance carriers are not included in the plant workers' average. (See Scope and Method oi Survey.)

In I960, approx im ately on e- fifth of the plant and on e-th ird of the o ffice em p loyees w ere e lig ib le fo r 4 w eeks or m o re of vacation pay after 25 years of s e r v ice ; by 1968, the p rop ortion s had in creased to slightly over half of the plant w o rk e rs and tw o -th ird s o f the o ffice w ork ers . The 4 -w eek vacation p ro v is io n s have b e co m e so w idespread that m ore w ork ers w ere e l i ­g ible fo r 4 w e e k s ' paid vacation after 20 years of s e r v ice in 1968 than a fter 25 y ears in I960.

the num ber e lig ib le fo r 4 -w eek vacations has in cre a se d , the plant s e r v ice requ irem ents fo r 3 w eeks o f vacation have contracted . Sixty p ercen t of the plant and 75 percen t of the o ffice w ork ers w ere e lig ib le fo r 3 w eek s ' or m ore paid vacation after 10 y ears of s e r v ice in 1968, com p a red with 27 and 38 p ercen t, re sp e ctiv e ly , in I960.

In I960, only on e -fou rth of the em p loyees in public u tilities w ere p rov ided at least 3 w e e k s ' paid vacation after 10 years of s e r v ic e ; in 1968, over fo u r -fifth s of the o ffice and th ree -fou rth s of the plant w ork ers w ere e lig ib le fo r this p ro v is io n after 10 years. D uring the sam e 8 -y e a r p e r io d , the percen tage of plant and o ffice w o rk e rs in public u tilities p rov ided 4 w eeks or m ore o f paid vacation after 25 years of s e r v ice ro se substantially^—-from 28 to 92 percen t fo r plant w o rk e rs , and fro m 24 to 91 percen t fo r o ffice w o rk e rs . T h ese in cre a se s in covera g e w ere by far the la rg e st am ong the in ­dustry d iv is ion s . Indicative of the sh orter s e r v ice requ irem ents fo r 3 and 4 w eeks of paid vacation are the lib e ra liz e d p rov is ion s granted in the 1967 labor-m an agem en t agreem en ts coverin g la rge groups of w o rk e rs in two tran sportation in du stries . 31 R a ilroad em ployees now r e ce iv e 3 w e e k s ' vacation after 10 instead of 15 y e a r s ' s e r v ice , w hile w ork ers in trucking f irm s now r e ce iv e 3 w eeks after 10 years ( fo r ­m e r ly 11) and 4 w eeks after 15 years (fo rm e r ly 16).

R eg ion a lly , the N orth Central had the h ighest percen tage of plant w ork ers and the N ortheast the highest percen tage of o ffice w o rk ­e rs who had p rov is ion s fo r at least 4 w eeks of paid vacation . Since I960, cov era g e has in crea sed fr o m 29 to 63 p ercen t fo r plant w ork ers in the N orth C entral reg ion , and fro m 46 to 75 percen t fo r o ffice w o rk e rs in the N ortheast. In the South and W est, the coverage of em p loyees p rov ided 4 w e e k s ' vacation show ed s im ila r growth. In 1968, the South was the only reg ion w hich had a sm a lle r p roportion of w o rk e rs e lig ib le fo r at least 3 w e e k s ' vacation pay after 10 years of s e r v ice than did the N ation as a w hole ; h ow ever, the South was the only reg ion to double the covera g e fo r both plant and o ffice w ork ers over the 8 -y e a r p eriod .

In I960, catastrophe in surance co v e re d only 20 percen t o f the plant and 42 percen t of the o ffic e w o rk e rs , and was the only plan studied in w hich le s s than half o f the w ork ers had been brought under co v era g e . H ow ever, by 1968, the p rop ortion of plant w o rk e rs co v e re d by ca ta s ­trophe in surance in cre a se d sign ifican tly to 49 p ercen t, and the o ffice w ork ers estim ate ro se to 79 p ercen t.

P rem iu m P ay fo r O vertim e W ork

The B u rea u 's la st study of prem iu m pay fo r overtim e w ork in m etropo lita n a rea s o c cu rre d in 1958. Data w ere p u b lish ed 32 fo r 17 a re a s . This y e a r , fo r the f ir s t tim e , data fo r prem iu m pay fo r ov ertim e are p resen ted fo r a ll m etropolitan areas com bined and four reg ion s .

N ea rly a ll plant and o ffice w ork ers in m etropolitan areas w ere em p loyed by estab lishm ents having p rov ision s fo r w eek ly o v e r ­tim e pay at prem iu m ra tes . About 8 in 10 plant w ork ers and 6 in 10 o ffic e w o rk e rs w e re em ployed in firm s having p rov is ion s fo r daily ov ertim e prem iu m ra tes .

By far the m ost com m on p rov is ion fo r a ll w ork ers having p rem iu m da ily or w eek ly overtim e rates was tim e and on e-h a lf the regu lar rate . T his p ro v is io n accounted fo r all but 1 percen t (o r less) o f plant and o ff ic e w o rk e rs having prem ium pay p rov is ion s in all m etrop o lita n a rea s com bined . A lso , a c lo se relationsh ip ex isted b e ­tw een the num ber of w ork ers having p rov ision s fo r the tim e and on e- half rate and the num ber having this p rov ision b ecom e e ffe ctiv e after 8 h ours da ily and 40 hours w eekly; for exam ple, 79 percen t of the plant w o rk e rs and 59 percen t of the o ffice w ork ers w ere in e sta b lish ­m ents having p ro v is io n fo r a daily overtim e rate of tim e and on e-h a lf. The re sp e c tiv e p ercen ta ges having this p rov is ion becom e e ffectiv e a fter 8 h o u rs ' work- w ere 74 and 52 percen t. N ea rly all of the r e ­m aining w o rk e rs had this sam e p rov is ion becom e e ffe ct iv e after 7 or 7.5 h ou rs . A s im ila r pattern is shown for the tim e and on e-h a lf rate b ecom in g e ffe ct iv e after 40 hours w eekly, except that a m e a s ­u rable num ber (2 p ercen t) o f the plant w ork ers had to w ork m ore than 40 (p r im a r ily 44 hours) b e fore becom ing e lig ib le fo r overtim e prem iu m ra tes .

A m ong the s ix industry div isions studied, public u tilities and m anufacturing g en era lly had the highest percen tages of w ork ers in estab lishm ents w ith p ro v is io n s fo r overtim e prem ium ra tes . F o r daily ov ertim e at p rem iu m pay the range fo r plant w ork ers was 94 percen t in pu blic u tilities to 52 percen t in reta il trade. The sam e item (daily ov ertim e) fo r o ff ic e w o rk e rs showed public u tilities leading with 84 p ercen t, and finance having the low est coverage with 33 percen t.

The ran ges am ong industries fo r plant and o ffice w ork ers having w eek ly o v ertim e pay p rov is ion s w ere m ore n arrow . N inety- nine p ercen t of the plant w ork ers in m anufacturing, public u tilitie s ,

and w h olesa le trade had such p ro v is io n s , w hile the s e r v ice s industry d iv is ion had the sm allest covera g e (89 p ercen t). The range was c lo se r s t ill fo r o ffic e w o rk e rs : 99 p ercen t fo r m anufacturing, public u tilities ,w h olesa le trad e , and fin an ce , to 94 percen t in s e r v ice s . R etail trade had 98 p ercen t of its o ffic e w o rk e rs in establishm ents with w eekly overtim e pay p ro v is io n s .

D iffe ren ces in the num ber of w ork ers having daily and w eekly overtim e prem iu m pay p ro v is io n s are due in part to la ter acceptance by em p loyers of da ily ov ertim e pay as a p r in cip le . A m ore im portant d iffe ren ce at the p resen t tim e is the w idely applied p rov is ion of the F a ir L abor Standards A ct of 1938 (as am ended), requ iring one and on e -h a lf tim es the e m p lo y e e 's regu lar rate fo r a ll hours w orked in e x ce s s of 40 hours in a w orkw eek . The act m akes no attempt to regulate daily overtim e ra tes . The 1938 A ct a lso accounts for som e of the percen t d iffe re n ce s found am ong industries fo r w eekly overtim e p ro v is io n s , since it applies far m ore w idely in industries such as m anufacturing and public u tilities than in re ta il trade and s e rv ice s .

N in ety -th ree percen t o f plant w ork ers in the W est w ere e m ­p loyed in firm s having p ro v is io n s tor daily overtim e prem ium pay. This p rop ortion con trasted with the low est reg ion al figu re of 56 p e r ­cent rep orted in the South. C om parable figu res fo r o ffice w ork ers showed the tw o sam e reg ion s holding the sam e pos ition s: 92 and 39p ercen t, re sp e ctiv e ly .

N inety-n ine p ercen t o f a ll plant and o ffic e w ork ers in m e t­ropolitan areas outside o f the South w orked in establishm ents having p rov is ion s fo r w eek ly ov ertim e prem iu m pay. In the South, 98 p e r ­cent of the o ffic e w ork ers and 94 percen t of the plant w ork ers w ere co v e re d by such p ro v is io n s .

P rem iu m pay p ro v is io n s fo r overtim e w ork other than tim e and on e-h a lf a fter 8 hours da ily or 40 hours w eek ly w ere not im portant nationally . In the South, h ow ever, 3 percen t of the o ffice w ork ers w ere in estab lishm ents (m ostly in finance) having w eekly overtim e pay based on a fluctuating w orkw eek p rin cip le . Under this p r in cip le , the w ork er is em ployed on a sa la ry ba sis with the understanding that the sa la ry is the stra ig h t-tim e com pen sation coverin g w hatever hours are w orked in the w orkw eek . O vertim e pay is determ ined by dividing the regu lar w eek ly sa la ry by the total hours w orked in the w orkw eek, and then m ultiplying the hours w orked over 40 by on e-h a lf the average h ourly rate. Since the em ployee has a lready re ce iv e d stra ight-tim e com pen sation on a fixed sa la ry basis fo r a ll hours w ork ed , only h a lf­tim e pay is due fo r hours w ork ed over 40.

Appendix A. Scope and Method o f Survey

Data in this rep ort relate to a ll 227 Standard M etropolitan S tatistica l A re a s in the United States as estab lished by the Bureau of the Budget through A p r il 1967. Data w ere co lle cte d in only 85 of the 227 a re a s , but these w ere se lected as a sam ple design ed to represen t a ll 227 a re a s .

O ccupationa l pay data are co lle cted annually in each of the a re a s , and estab lishm ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary w age p rov is ion s are c o lle c te d b ien n ia lly .

Excluded fro m the scop e of the studies w e re the con stru ction and extractive industries and governm ent in sti­tutions. The la tter e x clu sion has a significant e ffect on the public u tilities industry d iv is ion . M unicipally operated u tilities w ere e x ­cluded, but u tilities w ere included in areas w here they are private ly operated .

The scop e of the studies was further lim ited within each of the s ix m a jor industry groupings to establishm ents w hich em ployed 50 w ork ers or m o re . In 12 of the la rg est areas , the m inim um size was 100 em p loyees in m anufacturing, public u tilities , and reta il trade. T hese areas are B a ltim o re , B oston , C hicago, C leveland, D etro it, L os A n ge les—Long B each and Anaheim —Santa Ana—Garden G rove , New ark and J e rse y C ity , New Y ork , P hiladelphia, P ittsburgh, St. L ou is , and San F r a n c is c o —Oakland.

The area sam ple of 85 areas was based on the se lection of one area fr o m a stratum of s im ila r a reas . The c r ite r ia of s tra tifi­cation w ere s ize of area , reg ion , and type of industrial activity. Insofar as p o s s ib le , p roba b ility sam pling was used and each area had a chance of se le ct io n roughly p roportion ate to its tota l nonagricu ltural em ploym ent. T h irty -se v e n of the areas w ere certa in o f inclusion in the sam ple , either becau se of th eir s iz e , as m easu red by the I960 Census of Population , or becau se of the unusual nature of their in ­du stry com position . E ach of these 37 areas represen ted only itse lf, but each of the 48 other areas rep resen ted itse lf and one or m ore s im ila r a rea s ; the data fr o m each area w ere w eighted by the ratio of tota l n onagricu ltu ra l em ploym ent in the stratum to that in the sam ple area when preparin g estim ates fo r all areas com bined.

The estab lishm ent sam ple is stra tified as p r e c is e ly as ava ila ­b le in form ation p erm its . E ach geograph ic industry unit fo r w hich a separate analysis is to be p resen ted is sam pled independently.

Each sam ple stratum w ill be represen ted in the sam ple by a num ber of establishm ents p roportion ate to its share o f the total em ploym ent. The s ize of the sam ple in a particu lar su rvey depends on the s ize of the u n iv erse , the d iv e rs ity of o ccu p a ­tions and th eir d istribu tion , the re la tive d isp e rs io n of earnings among estab lish m en ts, the d istribu tion o f the establishm ent by s iz e , and the d eg ree of a ccu ra cy requ ired .

O ver 13 ,600 establishm ents em ploying about 9 ,8 5 2 , 000 w ork ­ers w ere included in the B u reau 's sam ple fr o m an estim ated u niverse of 7 6 ,000 establishm ents em ploying about 21, 108, 000 w ork ers within scop e of the studies in all m etropolitan a reas . The estim ates as p r e ­sented re late to a ll establishm ents and w ork ers within scope of the studies in all m etropolitan a reas .

1 ZZ7 Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States as established by the Bureau of the Budget through April 1967.2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.3 The regions are defined as follows: Northeast-—Connecticut, Maine, M assachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,

Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont; South-—Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, D istrict of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, M ississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia; North Central— Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, M issouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and W isconsin; Wrest— Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New M exico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

4 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation (50 em ployees). In 1Z of the largest areas, the minimum size was 100 em ployees or m ore in manufacturing, public utilities, and retail trade firm s.

5 Totals include executive, professional, and other w orkers excluded from the separate plant and office categories. The estim atesshown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and com position of the labor force included in the survey. They are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of com parison with other employment data for the area to measure employment trends or levels, since (l) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data com piled considerably in advance of the payroll periodstudied, and (Z) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the studies.

6 Excludes taxicabs, services incidental to water transportation, and municipally operated establishments.7 Estimate relates only to real estate establishments. W orkers from the entire industry division are represented in the Series A

tables, but from the real estate portion only in "all industry" estim ates in the Series B tables.8 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal serv ices; business serv ices; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion
