Data fo r industry divisions not presented separately are included in the estim ates for "a ll industries." Adm in istrative, executive, and pro fessiona l em ployees, and construc­tion workers who are u tilized as a separate work force are excluded. "P lan tw orkers" include working forem en and a ll nonsupervisory work­ers (including leadmen and tra inees) engaged in nonoffice functions. "O ffic ew ork ers " include w o r k i n g supervisors and nonsupervisory workers perform ing c le r ica l or related functions. C a feteria workers and routemen are excluded in manufacturing industries, but included in nonmanufacturing industries.

Minimum entrance sa laries fo r women o fficew orkers (table B - l ) relate only to the establishments v is ited . Because of the optimum sampling techniques used, and the probability that la rge establish­ments are m ore lik e ly to have fo rm a l entrance rates fo r workers above the subclerica l le v e l than sm all establishments, the table is m ore-rep resen ta tive o f po lic ies in medium and la rge establishments.

Shift d ifferen tia l data (table B -2 ) are lim ited to plantworkers in manufacturing industries. This in form ation is presented both in term s o f (1) establishment po licy, 2 presented in term s o f total plant- w orker employment, and (2) e ffec tive p ractice, presented in term s of w orkers actually employed on the specified shift at the tim e of the survey. In establishments having va ried d ifferen tia ls , the amount applying to a m a jority was used or, i f no amount applied to a m a jority , the c lassifica tion "o th er" was used. In establishments in which some la te-sh ift hours are paid at norm al rates, a d ifferen tia l was recorded only i f it applied to a m a jo r ity o f the shift hours.

The scheduled weekly hours and days (table B -3 ) o f a m a­jo r ity of the firs t-sh ift w orkers in an establishment are tabulated as applying to a ll o f the plant- or o fficew orkers of that establishment. Scheduled weekly hours and days are those which a m a jority of fu ll­tim e em ployees w ere expected to work, whether they w ere paid fo r at stra igh t-tim e or overtim e rates.

Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pen­sion plans (tables B -4 through B-6) are treated sta tistica lly on the basis that these are applicable to a ll plant- or o fficew orkers i f a

2 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the following condi­tions: (1) Operated late shifts at the time of the survey, or (2) had formal provisions covering lateshifts. An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1) had operated late shifts during the 12 months prior to the survey, or (2) had provisions in written form for operating late shifts.

m ajority o f such w orkers are e lig ib le or m ay eventually qualify for the practices listed . Sums o f individual item s in tables B-2 through B-6 may not equal totals because of rounding.

Data on paid holidays (table B -4 ) are lim ited to data on h o li­days granted annually on a form al basis; i.e ., (1) a re provided fo r in written form , or (2) have been established by custom. Holidays o rd i­narily granted are included even though they m ay fa ll on a nonworkday and the w orker is not granted another day off. The f ir s t part of the paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays actually granted. The second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday t im e .

The summary o f vacation plans (table B -5 ) is lim ited to a statistical m easure of vacation provisions. It is not intended as a m easure of the proportion of w orkers actually rece iv in g specific bene­fits . P rov is ions o f an establishment fo r a ll lengths o f serv ice w ere tabulated as applying to a ll plant- or o fficew orkers o f the establish­ment, regard less o f length o f serv ice . P rov is ion s fo r payment on other than a tim e basis w ere converted to a tim e basis; fo r example, a payment of 2 percent o f annual earnings was considered as the equiv­alent of 1 w eek 's pay. Only basic plans are included. Estim ates ex­clude vacation bonus and vacation-savings plans and those which o ffe r "extended" or "sabbatica l" benefits beyond basic plans with qualifying lengths of s e rv ice . Such exclusions are typ ical in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.

Data on health, insurance, and pension plans (table B -6 ) in ­clude those plans fo r which the em ployer pays at least a part o f the cost. Such plans include those underwritten by a com m erc ia l insurance company and those provided through a union fund or paid d irec tly by the em ployer out o f current operating funds or from a fund set aside fo r this purpose. An establishment was considered to have a plan i f the m a jority o f em ployees was e lig ib le to be covered under the plan, even i f less than a m a jority elected to participate because employees w ere required to contribute toward the cost o f the plan. L ega lly r e ­quired plans, such as workm en's compensation, socia l security, and ra ilroad retirem en t w ere excluded.

Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of in ­surance under which predeterm ined cash payments are made d irectly to the insured during tem porary illness or accident d isab ility. In fo r­mation is presented fo r all such plans to which the em ployer contrib­utes. However, in New York and New Jersey , which have enacted tem porary d isab ility insurance laws which requ ire em ployer contribu­t io n s ,3 plans are included only i f the em ployer (1) contributes m ore than is lega lly required, or (2) provides the em ployee with benefits which exceed the requirem ents o f the law. Tabulations o f paid sick

leave plans are lim ited to form al p lans4 which provide fu ll pay or a proportion o f the w orker 's pay during absence from work because of illn ess . Separate tabulations are presented according to (1) plans which provide fu ll pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans which p ro ­vide either partia l pay or a waiting period. In addition to the p resen­tation o f the proportions o f workers who are provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown o f workers who rece ive either or both types o f benefits.

Long-term disab ility plans provide payments to tota lly d is ­abled em ployees upon the expiration o f their paid sick leave and/or sickness and accident insurance, o r a fter a predeterm ined period of d isab ility (typ ica lly 6 months). Payments are made until the end of

the d isab ility, a maximum age, or e lig ib ility for retirem ent benefits. Payments m ay be at fu ll o r partia l pay but are almost always r e ­duced by social security, workm en's compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled em ployee.

M ajor m ed ica l insurance includes those plans which are de­signed to protect em ployees in case o f sickness and injury involving expenses beyond the coverage of basic hospitalization, m edical, and surgical plans. M edical insurance re fe rs to plans providing for com ­plete or partia l payment of doctors ' fees. Dental insurance usually covers fillin gs , extractions, and X -rays . Excluded are plans which cover only o ra l surgery or accident damage. Plans m ay be under­written by com m erica l insurance companies or nonprofit organizations or they m ay be paid fo r by the em ployer out o f a fund set aside for this purpose. Tabulations o f re tirem en t pension plans are lim ited to those plans that provide regu lar payments fo r the rem ainder o f the w orker 's life .

1 The San Francis co-Oakland Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (form erly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Francisco, and San Mateo Counties. The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other employment indexes for the area to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service,

and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.4 Includes executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A - and B -series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. The local transit systems in the San Francisco—

Oakland area are municipally operated and are excluded by definition from the scope of the study.6 Abbreviated to "finance" in the A - and B-series tables.7 Estimate relates to real estate establishments only. Workers from the entire industry division are represented in the Series A tables, but from the real estate portion only in "a ll industry"

estimates in the Series B tables.8 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious

and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.9 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "a ll industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation

of data for this division is not made for one or more of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sample was notdesigned initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.

Almost one-third of the workers within scope of the survey in the San Francisco area were employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the major industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

W ag e T ren d s fo r S e le c te d O ccupational G roups

Presen ted in table 2 are indexes and percentages o f change in average sa laries o f o ffice c le r ica l w orkers and industrial nurses, and in average earnings of selected plantworker groups. The indexes are a m easure of wages at a given tim e, expressed as a percent of wages during the base period. Subtracting 100 from the index yields the percentage change in wages from the base period to the date of the index. The percentages of change or increase relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of increase, where shown, re fle c t the amount o f increase fo r 12 months when the tim e period between surveys was other than 12 months. These computations w ere based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant rate between surveys. These estim ates are m easures of change in a v e r ­ages for the area; they are not intended to m easure average pay changes in the establishments in the area.

Method of Computing

Each o f the follow ing key occupations within an occupational group was assigned a constant weight based on its proportionate em ­ployment in the occupational group:

Office clerical (men and women): Bookkeeping-machine

operators, class B Clerks, accounting, classes

A and BClerks, file, classes

A, B, and C Clerks, order Clerks, payroll Comptometer operators Keypunch operators, classes

A and BMessengers (office boys or

girls)

Office clerical (men and women)— Continued

SecretariesStenographers, general Stenographers, senior Switchboard operators, classes

A and BTabulating-machine operators,

class BTypists, classes A and B

Industrial nurses (men and women):

Nurses, industrial (registered)

Skilled maintenance (men): Carpenters Electricians Machinists MechanicsMechanics (automotive)PaintersPipefittersTool and die makers

Unskilled plant (men):Janitors, porters, and

cleanersLaborers, material handling

The average (mean) earnings fo r each occupation w ere m u lti­p lied by the occupational weight, and the products fo r a ll occupations in the group w ere totaled. The aggregates fo r 2 consecutive years w ere related by dividing the aggregate fo r the la ter year by the a gg re ­gate fo r the e a r lie r year. The resultant re la tive , less 100 percent,

shows the percentage change. The index is the product of multiplying the base year re la tive (100) by the re la tive fo r the next succeeding year and continuing to m ultip ly (compound) each yea r 's re la tive by the previous yea r 's index.

F o r o ffice c le r ic a l w orkers and industrial nurses, the wage trends relate to regu lar w eek ly sa laries fo r the norm al workweek, exclusive of earnings fo r overtim e. Fo r plantworker groups, they m easure changes in average stra igh t-tim e hourly earnings, excluding prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The percentages are based on data fo r selected key occu­pations and include m ost of the num erically important jobs within each group.

Lim itations of Data

The indexes and percentages o f change, as m easures of change in area averages, are influenced by: (1) general salary andwage changes, (2) m erit or other increases in pay received by ind i­vidual w orkers while in the same job, and (3) changes in average wages due to changes in the labor fo rce resulting from labor turn­over, fo rce expansions, force reductions, and changes in the p ropor­tions o f w orkers employed by establishments with d ifferent pay leve ls . Changes in the labor fo rce can cause increases or decreases in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable that even though a ll establishments in an area gave wage increases, average wages may have declined because lower-paying establishments entered the area or expanded their work fo rces . S im ilarly , wages m ay have remained re la tiv e ly constant, yet the averages fo r an area m ay have risen considerably because higher-paying establishments entered the area.

The use o f constant employment weights elim inates the effect of changes in the proportion o f w orkers represented in each job in ­cluded in the data. The percentages of change re flec t only changes in average pay fo r stra igh t-tim e hours. They are not influenced by changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by prem ium pay fo r overtim e. W here necessary, data w ere adjusted to rem ove from the indexes and percentages of change any significant effect caused by changes in the scope o f the survey.
