W o o d H ou sehold Furniture (Except Upholstered), O c to b e r 1971
Summary

bedroom furniture. Less than one-fifth of the workers
were in plants manufacturing primarily dining room and
kitchen furniture (except kitchen cabinets). Most of the
remaining workers were distributed about equally among
plants making radio, television, and phonograph
cabinets; other living room, library, and hall furniture; or
kitchen cabinets.
Establishments making more than one type of furni
ture employed slightly over one-half of the industry’s
production workers. Bedroom furniture and dining room
and kitchen furniture (except kitchen cabinets)
frequently were made in the same establishments.

Straight-time earnings of production and related
workers in the wood household furniture (except
upholstered) manufacturing industry averaged $2.40 an hour in October 1971.1 Men, three-fourths of the 127,232 workers covered by the BLS survey, averaged$2.47 an hour; women averaged $2.18. More than nine-tenths of the workers earned between$1.60 and
$3.50 an hour. Earnings of the middle half of the workers were between$1.99 and $2.69. Regionally, earnings averaged from$2.11 in the
Border States and $2.12 in the Southwest to$3.06 in
the Pacific region. Workers in the Southeast, numerically
the largest group, averaged $2.19. The earnings of workers in 11 areas and 3 States important to the industry also were surveyed separately.2 Nationwide and among regions, earnings levels varied by size of community, size of establishment, labor-man agement contract coverage, occupation, and by type of furniture manufactured. Among the production occupations tabulated separately, average hourly earnings ranged from$2.08
for planer operators who do not set up their own
machines to $2.97 for plastic top installers. Furniture assemblers (except chairs), numerically the largest occupation studied, averaged$2.47. Their earnings levels
varied by type of assembly.
Paid holidays and paid vacations after qualifying
periods of service were provided for at least nine-tenths
of the industry’s production workers. Typical vacation
provisions were 1 week of vacation pay after 1 year of
service and 2 weeks after 5 years. Life, hospitalization,
surgical and medical insurance, paid for at least in part
by the employer, applied to a large majority of the
workers. Retirement pension plans (other than social
security) were available to three-fifths of the workers.

Location. The Southeast, by far the largest region in
terms of employment, contained nearly two-fifths of the
production workers. Another one-sixth of the workers
were in the Great Lakes region and one-eighth in the
Border States. None of the other regions had as much as
one-tenth of the industry’s work force.
The types of furniture manufactured varied in
incidence among the regions. Bedroom furniture was the
principal product of establishments employing about
one-half of the workers in the Southeast and Southwest
and two-thirds in the Border States. Slightly less than
one-half of the employees in the Middle Atlantic region
were in plants chiefly producing kitchen cabinets; in the
Great Lakes region, a majority of the workers were
employed by factories engaged primarily in making
living room furniture (including radio, television, and
phonograph cabinets).
Establishments located outside metropolitan areas4
employed slightly more than three-fifths of the
industry’s work force. Proportions of workers in smaller
communities amounted to seven-eighths in New England,

data in this bulletin exclude premium pay for overtime and for
work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.

operating under labor-management agreements,
by selected characteristics

Among the 11 areas of industry concentration
surveyed separately, the largest number of workers were
in Hickory-Statesville, N.C. (11,385), Winston-SalemHigh Point, N.C. (8,192), and Martinsville, Va. (8,104).
The first two areas, together, accounted for two-fifths of
all workers in the Southeast region, and Martinsville,
Va., contained slightly over two-fifths of the workers in
the Border States. The smallest employment among the
11 areas were recorded in Jamestown, N.Y., Miami and
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood, Fla., and Evansville,
Ind.-Ky., each with about 1,100 workers.
The three States studied separately contained major
portions of the industry’s labor force in their respective
regions. Tennessee (7,869 workers) accounted for onesixth of the employment in the Southeast, Indiana
(10,566) for one-half in the Great Lakes region, and
Arkansas (6,163) for two-thirds in the Southwest.

1968.6 This increase equaled the rise in the BLS
Consumer Price Index over the same period, but fell
below the 20 percent increase in average hourly earnings
recorded for workers in all durable goods manu
facturing.7 The rise in average earnings in wood house
hold furniture manufacturing was highest in the Great
Lakes (21 percent) and lowest in the Pacific region (8
percent). In the remaining regions, the advances ranged
between 14 and 17 percent.
Workers in the Southeast averaged $2.19 an hour in October 1971, slightly more than those in the Border States ($2.11) and Southwest ($2.12). Averages in the remaining regions were$2.53 in New England, $2.71 in U n io n iza tio n . E stablishm ents that had labormanagement contracts covering a majority of their production workers employed approximately one-third of the work force. The proportions amounted to one-sixth in the Border States; about one-fifth in the Southeast; two-fifths in New England and the South west; slightly over one-half in the Great Lakes region; three-fifths in the Pacific region; and two-thirds in the Middle Atlantic States. Text table 1 illustrates the extent of labor-management contract coverage by size of establishment and size of community within the major regions. The United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and the United Furniture Workers of America (both AFL-CIO) were the major unions in the industry. 5The straight-time average hourly earnings in this bulletin differ in concept from the gross average hourly earnings published in the Bureau’s monthly hours and earnings series ($2.60 in October 1971). Unlike the latter, the estimates
presented here exclude premium pay for overtime and for work
on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Average earnings were
calculated by summing individual hourly earnings and dividing
by the number of individuals; in the monthly series, the sum of
the man-hour totals reported by establishments in the industry
was divided into the reported payroll totals. Neither the October
1971 wage survey nor the Bureau’s monthly series included
retroactive adjustments for wage increases scheduled to become
effective during the 90-day wage-price-rent freeze which ended
November 14,1971.
The estimate of the number of production workers within
scope of the study is intended only as a general guide to the size
and composition of the labor force included in the survey. It
differs from that published in the monthly series (150,600 in
October 1971) by the exclusion of establishments employing
fewer than 20 workers. The advance planning necessary to make
the survey required the use of lists of establishments assembled
considerably in advance of data collection. Thus, establishments
new to the industry are omitted, as are establishments originally
classified as wood household furniture establishments, but found
to be in other industries at the time of the survey.

Except Upholstered, October 1968, Bulletin 1651 (Bureau of
Labor Statistics, 1970).

Method o f wage payment. Slightly over four-fifths of the
production workers were paid time rates. This group was
divided about evenly between workers paid under formal
plans having established rates for specified jobs and
those paid according to their individual qualifications
(table 25). The largest proportion of workers under
incentive wage systems (about two-fifths) was found in
both the Southwest and Great Lakes regions.
Average hourly earnings

Straight-time earnings of the 127,232 production and
related workers covered by the survey averaged $2.40 an hour in October 1971 (table l).5 This rate was 16 percent higher than the average of$2.07 recorded in a
similar survey conducted by the Bureau in October

by each region. For example, the three regions which
had the highest averages employed two-thirds of all
workers in plants primarily manufacturing kitchen
cabinets, but employed slightly less than one-sixth of the
bedroom furniture workers.
In considering the wage differences noted above and
in the following discussion of occupational earnings, it
must be emphasized that this study did not isolate the
influence of each factor (e.g., community size, establish
ment size, labor-management contract coverage) as a
determinant of wages. The interrelationship of some of
these factors, however, is pointed out in the discussion
of industry characteristics.
Men, as a group, averaged $2.47 an hour and women$2.18. This general relationship also was found in each
of the selected regions; differences ranged from 14 cents
in the Southwest to 40 cents in New England.
Differences in average pay levels for men and women
may be the result of several factors, including variation
in the distribution of the sexes among establishments
and also among jobs with different pay levels.
Differences in averages for men and women in the same
job and area may reflect minor differences in duties. Job
descriptions used in classifying workers in wage surveys
usually are more generalized than those used in
individual establishments, because allowance must be
made for minor differences among establishments in
specific duties performed.
Earnings of all but 6 percent of the production
workers were within a range of $1.60 to$3.50 an hour;
the middle half earned between $1.99 and$2.69
(table 2). As indicated in the following tabulation, the
percent of workers earning less than specified amounts
varied widely by region:

the Great Lakes, $2.76 in the Middle Atlantic States, and$3.06 in the Pacific region.
Workers in metropolitan areas averaged $2.61 an hour— cents more than those in smaller communities. 33 A similar relationship held in the New England, Border States, Great Lakes, Southeast and Pacific regions, with the differentials ranging from 44 cents to 12-cents-anhour. In the Middle Atlantic and the Southwest, however, the wage advantage was in favor of workers in nonmetropolitan areas and averaged 17 cents and 8 cents, respectively. Among the States and areas of industry concentration studied separately, average hourly earnings ranged from$3.65 in Louisville, Ky.-Ind., to $2.06 in Tennessee and$2.03 in Martinsville, Va. (tables 10-23). In HickoryStatesville and Winston-Salem—
High Point, N.C., the two
largest furniture centers, workers averaged $2.27 and$2.28, respectively.
Nationwide, workers in establishments employing
20-249 workers averaged $2.53 an hour compared with$2.30 for those in larger establishments. The lower
average for larger establishments reflects a dispropor
tionate concentration of workers in these plants in the
three regions having the lowest average wage rate. Nearly
four-fifths of the workers in establishments employing
250 workers or more were in the Southeast, Southwest,
and Border States. In contrast, a little over one-third of
the workers in smaller establishments were in these
regions. Among the two establishment size groups,
workers in larger factories had an average wage
advantage of 59 cents an hour in the Middle Atlantic, 17
cents in the Pacific, and 14 cents or less in the
Southwest, Southeast, and New England. In the Great
Lakes region, there was no difference but in the Border
States, workers in the smaller factories had a 20-cent
Workers in establishments that had labor-management
agreements covering a majority of their production
workers averaged more than those in nonunion establish
ments. This general relationship existed in all regions,
except the Southwest, but the differential was not very
pronounced in the Middle Atlantic States (8 cents) or in
the Sbutheast (2 cents).
Based on the principal type of wood furniture
manufactured, wage levels ranged from $3.05 an hour in plants making kitchen cabinets to$2.22 in bedroom
furniture plants. In other establishments, earnings
averaged $2.31 for dining room and kitchen furniture (except cabinets);$2.40 for living room, library, and hall
furniture (except radio, television, and phonograph
cabinets), and $2.46 for radio, television, and phono graph cabinets. The differences in average earnings by product line reflect, in part, the proportions of workers contributed Under$1.80

Hourly earnings distribution in selected Nationwide averages for these jobs ranged from$2.08
for planer operators who do not set up their own
machines to $2.97 for plastic-top installers. Furniture assemblers (except chairs), accounting for 12 percent of the work force, averaged$2.47 an hour. Their earnings
levels varied by type of assembly: $2.59 for complete furniture pieces (case goods),$2.41 for complete furni
ture pieces (other than case goods), and $2.34 for subassemblies. Furniture sanders, hand and m achineeach accounting for about 6 percent of the production workers— averaged$2.20 and $2.41, respectively. Table 24 presents regional and locality wage levels for men in selected occupations as a percent of the nationwide average for all men production workers ($2.47). For most of the jobs shown, regional averages
usually exceeded the nationwide average by 5 to 20
percent in New England, 5 to 25 percent in the Middle
Atlantic and Great Lakes States, and 20 to 40 percent in
the Pacific region. Averages in the Southern regions and
the Border States were typically below the nationwide
level. Occupational averages also varied considerably
among the areas selected for separate study, even within
the same region.
In most regions where comparisons were possible,
occupational averages were usually higher in metro
politan than nonmetropolitan areas (table 4); in
establishments employing 250 workers or more than in
smaller establishments (table 5); and in union than in
nonunion establishments (table 6). When comparisons,
however, were limited to the same establishment size
group and same community size, the pattern between
union and nonunion averages was mixed (tables 7
and 8). For example, in Southeastern factories having
20-249 employees, occupational wage levels in union
establishments nearly always exceeded those in
nonunion establishments, typically by 5 to 25 percent.
In establishments having 250 employees or more, this
relationship was reversed. Also, in metropolitan areas of
8 of the 10 occupations permitting comparison, but in
nonmetropolitan areas, the averages in favor of union
establishments dropped to 1 out of 12.
As indicated in table 9, incentive workers typically
had higher average earnings than time rated workers in
the same occupation. To illustrate, the average wage
advantage of men incentive workers in the Great Lakes
region ranged from about 10 to 25 percent in 11 out of
12 occupational comparisons.
Earnings of individuals performing similar tasks varied
considerably within the same area (tables 10-23). Earn
ings of the highest paid workers frequently exceeded
those of the lowest paid workers in the same job and
area by as much as $1 an hour. Thus, some workers in occupations, Hickory-Statesville, N.C. Earnings$1.60

comparatively low-paid jobs (as measured by the average
for all workers) earned as much or more than some
workers in jobs for which significantly higher averages
were recorded. Text table 2 illustrates the overlap in
individual earnings in Hickory-Statesville, N.C., for men
furniture assemblers and women hand sanders, despite a
53-cent-an-hour difference in the averages for the two
jobs.
Establishment practices and supplementary
wage provisions

Data also were obtained on certain establishment
practices, including shift differentials for production
workers, and work schedules, and selected supple
mentary benefits, such as paid holidays and paid
vacations, and various health, insurance, and retirement
plans for both production workers and office workers.
Scheduled weekly hours and shift provisions. Weekly
work schedules of 40 hours were in effect in establish
ments employing seven-tenths of the production workers
in October 1971 (table 26). Similar schedules prevailed
in all regions, except New England and the Border
States, where slightly less than two-thirds and one-half
of the workers, respectively, had schedules exceeding 40
hours. For officeworkers, 40-hour schedules were pre
dominant in each region. Shorter schedules were found
most frequently in the Middle Atlantic States where they
applied to about one-sixth of the officeworkers.
Pay provisions for second shift work were reported
by plants accounting for slightly more than one-half of
the production workers; for third or other late shifts, the
proportion was one-fifth (table 27). Less than 5 percent
of the production workers, however, were actually
employed on late shifts at the time of the survey.
4

Paid holidays. Establishments providing paid holidays
employed nine-tenths of the production workers and
nearly all of the office workers (table 28). The propor
tions of production workers receiving paid holidays were
three-fourths in the Border States, seven-eighths in the
Southeast, and nine-tenths or more in the other regions.
Holiday provisions for production workers typically
allowed for 6 to 8 days annually in most regions; in the
Southeast and Border States, 3 to 6 days were pre
dominant and in the Middle Atlantic, 8 to 11 days.
Officeworkers usually were covered by similar provisions
in most regions.

insurance to seven-tenths, and basic medical insurance to
four-fifths.
Regionally, the proportions of production workers in
establishments providing such benefits as sickness and
accident insurance and major medical insurance varied
substantially. For example, nearly all of the production
employees in the Southwest and the Pacific region were
in establishments providing major medical insurance, in
contrast to one-third of the workers in the Middle
Atlantic States.
Retirement pension plans, in addition to Federal
social security, were provided for three-fifths of the
production workers. The proportions of employees
covered by pension benefits ranged from slightly over
two-fifths in the Southwest to four-fifths in the Border
States. Retirement severance pay was rarely found in the
industry.
The proportions of officeworkers provided various
health, insurance, and retirement benefits were generally
similar to those for production workers. A notable
exception to this was paid sick leave which applied to 34
percent of the office personnel but to only 5 percent of
the production workers. Sickness and accident insur
ance, on the other hand, was more commonly available
to production workers than to officeworkers.

Paid vacations. Paid vacations, after qualifying periods of
service, were provided by establishments employing
nearly all of the industry’s production workers and
officeworkers (table 29). Typical provisions for produc
tion workers were 1 week of vacation pay after 1 year of
service and 2 weeks after 5 years. Provisions for at least
3 weeks’ pay, most frequently recorded in the Middle
Atlantic, Great Lakes, and Pacific regions, applied to
nearly three-tenths of the workers after 10 years and to
slightly more than two-fifths after longer periods of
service. Officeworkers typically were provided 1 week of
vacation after 1 year of service and 2 weeks after 3
years; the incidence of 3-week vacation plans was similar
to that reported for production workers.

Other selected benefits. Funeral leave pay was available
to one-fourth of the production workers and one-third
of the officeworkers; provisions for jury duty pay
applied to two-fifths of the workers in both groups
(table 31). Coverage by these benefits varied widely by
region; for example, jury duty pay was provided to
about one-fifth of the production workers in the
Southwest and Pacific States, compared with slightly
more than three-fifths in the Border States.
Plans for technological severance pay were virtually
nonexistent in the industry.

Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Life, hospitali
zation, and surgical insurance plans for which employers
paid at least part of the cost were available to over
nine-tenths of the production workers (table 30).
Accidental death and dismemberment insurance and
sickness and accident insurance applied to slightly over
three-fifths of the production employees, major medical

S co p e and M e th o d o f S u rve y

Scope of survey

The survey included establishments engaged primarily
in manufacturing wood household furniture (except
upholstered) commonly used in dwellings (SIC 2511 as
defined in the 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual, prepared by the U.S. Office of
Management and Budget). Manufacturers of wood
kitchen cabinets on a factory basis and camp furniture
were included. Separate auxiliary units such as central
offices were excluded.
The establishments studied were selected from those
employing 20 workers or more at the time of reference
of the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The number of establishments and workers studied
by the Bureau, as well as the number estimated to be in
the industry during the payroll period studied, are
shown in table A -l.
Products

The classification of establishments by product was
based on the principal type of furniture manufactured.
For example, if the value of an establishment’s produc
tion was 40 percent bedroom furniture, and 30 percent
dining room and kitchen furniture, and 30 percent living
room, library, and hall furniture, all workers in that
establishment were classified under bedroom furniture.

turing operations are performed. An establishment is not
necessarily identical with the company, which may
consist of one establishment or more.
Employment

Estimates of the number of workers within the scope
of the study are intended as a general guide to the size
and composition of the industry’s labor force, rather
than precise measures of employment.
Production workers and officeworkers

The terms “production workers” and “production
and related workers” as used in this bulletin, include
working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers
engaged in nonoffice activities. Administrative, execu
tive, professional, and technical personnel, and forceaccount construction employees, who were utilized as a
separate work force on the firm’s own properties, were
excluded.
The term “officeworkers” includes all nonsupervisory
professional, and technical employees.
Occupations selected for study

Occupational classification was based on a uniform
set of job descriptions designed to take account of
interestablishment and interarea variations in duties
within the same job. (See appendix B for these descrip
tions.) The occupations were chosen for their numerical
importance, their usefulness in collective bargaining, or
their representativeness of the entire job scale in the
industry. Working supervisors, apprentices, learners,
beginners, trainees, and handicapped, part-time, tempo
rary, and probationary workers were not reported in the
data for selected occupations but were included in the
data for all production workers.

Method of study

Data were obtained by personal visits of the Bureau’s
field staff. The survey was conducted on a sample basis.
To obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a
greater proportion of large than of small establishments
was studied. In combining the data, however, all
establishments were given their appropriate weight. All
estimates are presented, therefore, as relating to all
establishments in the industry, excluding only those
below the minimum size at the time of reference of the
universe data.

Wage data
Establishment definition

Information on wages relates to straight-time hourly
earnings, excluding premium pay for overtime and for
work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Incentive

An establishment, for purposes of this study, is
defined as a single physical location where manufac

1 The regions used in this study include: New England— Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
and Verm ont; M iddle A tla n tic-— New Jersey, New Y ork, and Pennsylvania; Border States— Delaware, D istrict o f Columbia,
Kentucky, M aryland, V irginia, and West V irginia; Southeast-— Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, N orth Carolina, South
Carolina, and Tennessee; Southwest— Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas; Great Lakes— Illin o is, Indiana, Michigan,
Minnesota, O hio, and W isconsin; and P acific— California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Regional data include areas in addition
to those shown separately.
2 For d e fin itio n o f the selected areas, see footnote 1, tables 11-15,17-21, and 23.
3 Includes only establishments w ith 20 workers or more at the tim e o f reference of the universe data.
4 Includes executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the production and o ffice w orker categories shown
separately.
5 Includes data fo r regions in addition to those shown separately. Alaska and Hawaii were not included in the study.

52

payments, such as those resulting from piecework or
production bonus systems and cost-of-living bonuses,
were included as part of the workers’ regular pay ; but
nonproduction bonus payments, such as Christmas or
yearend bonuses, were excluded.
Average (mean) hourly rates or earnings for each
occupation or other group of workers, such as produc
tion workers, were calculated by weighting each rate (or
hourly earnings) by the number of workers receiving the
rate, totaling, and dividing by the number of individuals.
The hourly earnings of salaried workers were obtained
by dividing straight-time salary by normal rather than
actual hours.

worker. A single rate structure is one in which the same
rate is paid to all experienced workers in the same job
classification. Learners, apprentices, or probationary
workers may be paid according to rate schedules which
start below the single rate and permit the workers to
achieve the full job rate over a period of time. Individual
experienced workers occasionally may be paid above Or
below the single rate for special reasons, but such
payments are exceptions. Range of rate plans are those
in which the minimum and/or maximum rates paid
experienced workers for the same job are specified.
Specific rates of individual workers within the range may
be determined by merit, length of service, or a combina
tion of various concepts of merit and length of service.
Incentive workers are classified under piecework or
bonus plans. Piecework is work for which a predeter
mined rate is paid for each unit of output. Production
bonuses are based on production in excess of a quota or
for completion of a task in less than standard time.

Size of community

Tabulations by size of community pertain to metro
politan and nonmetropolitan areas. The term “metro
politan area,” as used in this bulletin, refers to the
Standard Metropolitan Areas as defined by the U.S.
Office of Management and Budget through January
1968.
Except in New England, a Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area is defined as a county or group of
contiguous counties which contains at least one city of
50,000 inhabitants or more. Contiguous counties to the
one containing such a city are included in a Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area, if, according to certain
criteria, they are essentially metropolitan in character
and are socially and economically integrated with the
central city. In New England, where the city and town
are administratively more important than the county,
they are the units used in defining Standard Metro
politan Statistical Areas.

Scheduled weekly hours

Data on weekly hours refer to the predominant work
schedule for full-time production workers (or officeworkers) employed on the day shift, regardless of sex.
Shift provisions

Shift provisions relate to the policies of establish
ments either currently operating late shifts or having
formal provisions covering late shift work.
Supplementary wage provisions

Supplementary benefits were treated statistically. If
formal provisions were applicable to half or more of the
production workers (or officeworkers) in an establish
ment, the benefits were considered applicable to all such
workers. Similarly, if fewer than half of the workers
were covered, the benefit was considered nonexistent in
the establishment. Because of length-of-service and other
eligibility requirements, the proportion of workers
receiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated.

Labor-management agreements

Separate wage data are presented, where possible, for
establishments that had (1) a majority of the production
workers covered by labor-management contracts, and
(2) none or a minority of the production workers
covered by labor-management contracts.
Method of wage payment

Paid holidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day
and half-day holidays provided annually.

Tabulations by method of wage payment relate to the
number of workers paid under the various time and
incentive wage systems. Formal rate structures for
time-rated workers provide single rates or a range of
rates for individual job categories. In the absence of a
formal rate structure, pay rates are determined primarily
with reference to the qualifications of the individual

Paid vacations. The summaries of vacation plans are
limited to formal arrangements, excluding informal plans
whereby time off with pay is granted at the discretion of
the employer or the supervisor. Payments not on a time
basis were converted; for example, a payment of 2
53

percent of annual earnings was considered the equivalent
of 1 week’s pay. The periods o f service for which data
are presented represent the most common practices, but
they do not necessarily reflect individual establishment
provisions for progression. For example, the changes in
proportions indicated at 10 years o f service may include
changes which occurred between 5 and 10 years.

illness; informal arrangements have been omitted.
Separate tabulations are provided according to (1) plans
which provide full pay and no waiting period, and
(2) plans providing either partial pay or a waiting period.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for com
plete or partial payment of doctors’ fees. Such plans
may be underwritten by a commercial insurance com
pany or a nonprofit organization, or they may be a form
of self-insurance.
Major medical insurance, sometimes referred to as
extended medical insurance, includes the plans designed
to cover employees in case of sickness or injury involving
an expense which exceeds the normal coverage of
hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans.
Tabulations of retirement pensions are limited to
plans which provide regular payments for the remainder
of the retiree’s life. Data are presented separately for
retirement severance pay (one payment or several over a
specified period o f time) made to employees on retire
m en t. Establishments providing both retirement
severance payments and retirement pensions to
employees were considered as having both retirement
pensions and retirement severance plans. Establishments
having optional plans providing employees a choice of
either retirement severance payments or pensions were
considered as having only retirement pension benefits.

H ealth , insurance and retirem ent plans. Data are pre

sented for health, insurance, pension, and retirement
severance plans for which all or a part of the cost is
borne by the employer, excluding programs required by
law such as workmen’s compensation and social security.
Among the plans included are those underwritten by a
commercial insurance company, and those paid directly
by the employer from his current operating funds or
from a fund set aside for this purpose.
Death benefits are included as a form of life
insurance. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to
that type of insurance under which predetermined cash
payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly
or monthly basis during illness or accident disability.
Information is presented for all such plans to which the
employer contributes at least a part of the cost.
However, in New York and New Jersey, where tempo
rary disability insurance laws require employer contribu
tions,1 plans are included only if the employer (1) con
tributes more than is legally required or (2) provides the
employees with benefits which exceed the requirements
of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to
formal plans which provide full pay or a proportion of
the worker’s pay during absence from work because of

Paid funeral and ju ry-d u ty leave. Data for paid funeral

and jury-duty leave relate to formal plans which provide
at least partial payment for time lost as a result of
attending funerals of specified family members or
serving as a juror.
Technological severance pay. Data refer to formal plans
providing for payments to employees permanently
separated from the company through no fault of their
own.

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

Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions

The primary purpose o f preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist its
field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of
payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to
area. This permits the grouping o f occupational wage rates representing comparable job content.
Because o f this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content,
the Bureau’s job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or
those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s field staff are
instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; handicapped,
part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
