Sum m ary

N on su p e rv iso ry em p loyees in the r e ta i l trade industry (except eating and drinking p laces ) earned an average o f $1 .96 on a s tra igh t- t im e hourly basis in June 1966. A ccord in g to the B u reau ’ s su rvey o f earn ings and hours o f work , app rox im ate ly 6. 9 m il l io n n onsu perv iso ry re ta i l trade em p loyees in the United States, earned $71. 13 a w eek and w orked 36.3 hours, on the average .

Earn ings in r e ta i l trade w e re d istributed broad ly . Four out o f 5 em p loyees earned between $1. 15 and $ 3 an hour.

A v e ra g e earnings among the four broad geograph ic reg ions ranged f ro m $1 .67 an hour in the South to $2 .34 in hour in the W est. E m ployees in the N a t ion ’ s m etropo litan areas averaged $2 .07 an hour, 40 cents an hour m o re than those in nonm etropolitan areas . M en earned an average o f $2. 17 an hour, com pared with $1 .56 fo r women.

Am ong the seven m a jo r industry groups which constitute re ta i l trade (except eating and drinking p la ces ) , average hourly pay le v e ls w e re $1 .72 in appare l and a c c e s so ry s to res , $1 .77 in gen era l m erchand ise s to res , $1 .89 in m isce llaneous r e ta i l s to res , $2 .02 in food s to res , $2 .05 at building m a te r ia ls and hardware d ea le rs , $2. 14 at automobile d ea lers and gasoline s e rv ic e stations, and $2. 19 in furniture and appliance s to res .

During the su rvey w eek em p loyees w orked an average o f 36. 3 hours. T h r e e - tenths o f the em p loyees w orked less than 35 hours, one-fourth w orked 40 hours, and one-s ix th w orked 48 hours or m o re . Am ong the four reg ions the average w orkw eek ranged from 33. 9 hours in the Northeast to 38. 9 hours in the South. E m ployees in m etropo litan areas ave raged 35.4 hours, 3.6 hours less than those in nonm etropolitan areas . Men worked 38.6 hours, on the ave rage , 5 .4 hours m o re than women.

Am ong em p loyees o f the seven m a jo r industry groups, average w eek ly hours ranged f ro m 33.4 fo r those in appare l and a c c es so ry s tores to 41.7 fo r those at building m a te r ia ls and hardware d ea le rs .

Although there was a g en era l upward m ovem ent in the d istribution between June 1965 and June 1966, em p loyees at the low e r end o f the pay sca le showed the g rea tes t gains; the p roport ion paid less than $1 .25 an hour dec lined f ro m 19 to 11 percent. During the same p e r io d average w eek ly hours dec lined from 36.9 to 36.3 because of a sm a ll but noticeable d ecrease in the p roport ion of em p loyees who w orked 48 hours or m o re , and a correspond ing in crease in the p roport ion who w orked less than 35 hours a week.

C h arac te r is t ics

Reta il trade, as defined by the Standard Industr ia l C la ss i f ica t ion system , is the se l l in g of m erchand ise fo r persona l, household, o r fa rm consumption. It is the means by which goods and the ir u ltimate consum ers are brought together. Because of the ir function, r e ta i l estab lishments are d istributed throughout the country in about the same p roport ion as population. R eta i l trade is p robab ly the m ost w id e ly d isp ersed industry in the United States.

R eta i l s to res v a r y w id e ly by s ize , type, and extent of spec ia l iza t ion . The la rg e m etropo litan department s to re , the country s to re , and the lo ca l con fec t ion ery bear l it t le resem b lance to one another, but a ll are r e ta i l estab lishm ents. In addition to the m o re com m on ly re cogn ized s to res , m a i l - o r d e r houses, d oo r - to - door se l l ing o rgan iza t ions , and vending machine opera to rs are r e ta i le r s .

The r e ta i l trade industry p rov id es jobs (part- and fu l l - t im e ) fo r about 1 out o f 7 o f the N a tion ’ s nonagricu ltura l em p loyees . Individual estab lishm ents va ry w id e ly by number o f em p lo ye rs— from the la rge departm ent s tore to the n e igh borhood g r o c e r y that has only one or two paid w o rk e rs . A ccord in g to the 1963 Census o f Business, o f the 1.2 m il l ion re ta i l estab lishm ents (excluding eating and drinking p la ces ) in the United States open during the entire yea r , th r e e - fourths had few e r than four paid em p loyees ; on ly one-e ighth had 10 or m o re . This la t te r group of estab lishm ents , how ever , accounted fo r 64 percen t of the $226 b i l l ion in r e ta i l sa les . Only 6 percen t of the estab lishm ents had as many as 20 em p loyees , but they accounted fo r a lm ost one-ha lf (47 p ercen t ) of a ll r e ta il sa les .

A cco rd in g to the I960 Census o f Population, m o re than one-th ird o f a ll r e ta i l trade em p loyees w e re engaged in se ll ing . About one- f i f th w orked as m an agers , o f f ic ia ls , or p ro p r ie to rs ; one-quarte r w e re d iv ided even ly between c le r ic a l and opera t ive jobs . The s ize of an estab lishm ent governs the nature of the labor fo r c e em ployed there . A sm all d ry -goods store m ay em ploy only sales personnel. A la rge departm ent s tore , while em ploy ing many sa lespeop le , a lso em ploys people in other f ie ld s— artis ts , carpen ters , accountants, appliance repa irm en , and tru ckd r iv e r s.

A p p are l s tores em p loy ta i lo r s , automobile d ea lers em p loy m echan ics , and drug s tores em p loy pharm acis ts .

Methods o f wage payment v a r y among estab lishm ents , types o f s to res , and even among sales positions in the same s tore . Some em p loyees are paid on an hourly bas is , some on a sa la ry bas is , and some en t ir e ly or p a r t ia l ly on a c o m m iss ion bas is .

A p p rox im a te ly 6. 9 m il l ion nonsu perv iso ry em p loyees w e re within the scope o f the su rvey in June 1966. Th ree - fou rth s of these w orked in m etropo litan areas . The South and North Cen tra l reg ions each accounted fo r 28 p ercen t of the e m p loyees , the Northeast had 26 percen t, and the W est had only 18 percent.

O ne-ha lf of the em p loyees in the s m a l le r areas earned less than $ 1. 50 an hour and few e r than one-fourth re c e iv e d as much as $2 an hour. On the other hand, one-fourth o f the em p loyees in m etropo litan areas earned at leas t $2 .50 an hour.

In each reg ion , em p loyees in m etropo litan areas earned substantia lly m ore than those in nonm etropolitan a reas . The wage advantage ranged fro m 27 cents an hour in the W est to 40 cents an hour in the North C en tra l reg ion .

The W est re co rd ed the highest, $2. 39 an $2. 12 an hour, r e sp ec t iv e ly . The low ave rages in the South exerted a noticeable downward pull on the o v e ra l l pay le v e ls in both m etropo litan and nonm etropolitan areas. This drag is w e l l i l lu s tra ted when wage data fo r each a rea are examined, including and excluding the South.

Although earnings w e re gen e ra l ly h igher in m etropo litan areas than in nonm etropo litan areas , no concrete re lationsh ip appeared to ex is t between this pay d i f fe ren t ia l and the reg ion a l pay le v e l , as shown below .

As noted p rev iou s ly , em ployees in m etropo litan areas averaged m ore than those in nonurban areas , but this pay re lationship did not always hold true on an in te rreg ion a l bas is . F o r exam ple , em ployees in nonm etropolitan areas o f the Northeast and W est averaged 4 and 34 cents m ore than those in m etropo litan areas o f the South. This re lationsh ip m ir r o r s the g rea te r p roport ion of e m p loyees with low rates o f pay in the South's urban areas than the N ortheas t 's and W es t 's nonurban areas— 32 percen t com pared with 26 and 17 percent, r e spect ive ly , earned less than $1 .30 an hour.

In each reg ion , earnings in m etropo litan areas w e re d istributed m ore b road ly than those in nonm etropolitan areas.

M en and W om en . Men, at $2. 17 an hour, ave raged 56 cents or 35 percen t m ore than women. (See table 4. ) Earnings fo r men w e re d istributed w ide ly ; those fo r wom en w e re grouped in the low and m iddle pay le v e ls . Three-ten ths of the women, but on e- f i f th o f the men, averaged less than $1 .30 an hour. O ver on e-h a lf o f the wom en w ere paid less than $1 .50 an hour, and about the same p roport ion o f m en earned at leas t $ 2 an hour. W om en made up tw o-fif ths o f the r e ta i l w o r k f o r c e but accounted fo r n ea r ly th ree - f i f th s o f those em ployees paid less than $1 .50 an hour. On the other hand, men accounted fo r 5 out of e v e r y 6 em p loyees earn ing as much as $2 .50 an hour.

R eg ion a l ly , average earnings fo r men ranged from $1.81 an hour in the South to $ 2. 59 an hour in the W est, and fo r women from $ 1.42 to $ 1. 89 an hour, again in the South and West, re sp ec t iv e ly . In each reg ion , men ave raged dec ided ly m o re than women; the amount of the pay d if fe ren ce ranging f ro m 39 cents an hour in the South to 70 cents an hour in the West. But this d i f fe ren t ia l was 59 cents in the Northeast and 63 cents in the North Cen tra l reg ion ; thus, only a l im ited re lat ionsh ip appeared to ex is t between the absolute pay advantage men held o ve r wom en and the reg iona l le v e l o f earn ings. M en held a 27 percen t pay d i f fe ren t ia l in the South; 35 percent in the Northeast; 37 percen t in the W est; and 40 percen t in the North Centra l reg ion . Thus, on a re la t ive basis the r e lationship was nonexistent.

R eg iona l fa c to rs , how ever , p lay an important ro le when earnings of men and women are exam ined on an in te rreg ion a l bas is . W om en in the W est, at $ 1. 89 an hour, ave raged 8 cents an hour m ore than m en in the South. Thus, geograph ic location is an overshadow ing fac tor in the gen era l determ ination of wages .

Sales V o lu m e . The annual volum e of sales o f the en te rp r is e (and e s tab l ish m ent) in which he works also has a bear ing on an em p lo ye e 's earn ings. This fact was re vea led when em ployee earnings w ere tabulated accord ing to these c h a r a c te r is t ic s . (See table 5. ) R e ta i l en te rp r ises w e re c la s s i f ie d accord ing to whether the ir annual sales w e re : (1) $1 m il l io n o r m o re , (2) at leas t $500,000but less than $1 m il l ion , (3) at leas t $250,000 but less than $500,000, (4) andless than $250,000. R espec t ive average hourly earnings fo r the above groups w e re as fo l low s : $2 .09 , $2, $1 .91 , and $1 .69 . Thus, as annual sales vo lum ed ec reases , so does the le v e l o f em p loyees ' earn ings . As expected f ro m the va r ia t ion in the earn ings le v e ls , sharp contrasts w e re encom passed in the d is tr ibution o f individual earn ings . F o r exam ple , the p roport ion o f em p loyees paid less than $1 .30 an hour ranged from one-s ix th o f those in en te rp r is e s that had $1 m il l io n or m ore in sales to n ea r ly tw o-fi f th s o f those in en te rp r ises that had less than $250,000 in sa les . C on ve rse ly , at the upper pay le v e ls g rea te r p r o portions o f em p loyees w e re found in the la r g e r vo lum e en te rp r is e s , although the d i f fe ren ces among the four groups w ere not as sharp as those at the low er reaches o f the pay sca le . F o r exam ple , the p roport ion paid at leas t $2 .50 an hour ranged from 13 percen t in en te rp r ises that had less than $250,000 in sales to 23 percen t o f those in en te rp r is e s that had $1 m il l io n or m o re in sa les .

In each reg ion , as w e l l as in both m etropo litan and nonm etropolitan a reas , the pattern of earn ings by en te rp r ise sales vo lum e was iden tica l to that noted fo r the o v e ra l l industry.

A ve ra g e earn ings w ere tabulated also by estab lishm ent sales vo lum e. (See table 6. ) Again , a re la tionsh ip between the volum e o f annual sales and the a v e r age pay le v e l appeared to ex is t . E m ployees in estab lishm ents that had $250,000 o r m ore in sa les , at $2. 08 an hour, ave raged 27 cents m ore than those in e s tab lishm ents that had $ 150,000 to $250,000 in sales and 46 cents m ore than those in establishm ents that had less than $ 150,000 in sa les . M arked d if fe ren ces ex is ted in the earn ings d istributions. F o r exam ple , low paid em ployees w e re predom inant in estab lishm ents that had the low est volum e of sa les— m ore than one-fourth earned less than $1 .25 an hour; o ve r one-ha lf (54 p ercen t ), less than $1 .50 an hour; and only one- f i f th earned as much as $ 2 an hour. On the other hand, the bulk o f the em p loyees in establishm ents that had at leas t $250, 000 in sales w e re found at the m iddle and upper pay le v e ls — tw o-th irds earned at leas t $2 an hour, and one-fourth, at leas t $2 .50 an hour.

In each reg ion , as w e l l as in both population areas , the pattern fo l low ed that o f the o v e ra l l industry. Am ong these ch a rac te r is t ic s em p loyees in establishments that had $250, 000 or m ore in sales averaged at leas t 22 cents an hour m ore than those in medium volum e estab lishm ents and at leas t 36 cents m ore than those in the low volum e estab lishm ents.

The F a ir Labor Standards A c t . Earn ings also w ere tabulated fo r em p loyees in estab lishm ents g en e ra l ly subject to and those not g en e ra l ly subject to the $ 1. 25 m in im um hourly wage p rov is ion of the F a ir Labor Standards Act. 4 E m ployees

4 At the time o f the survey, employees o f retail establishments that had at least $250, 000 in annual sales which were part of enterprises that had at least $1 m illion in annual sales were generally included under the $1. 25 an hour minimum wage provision o f the 1961 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act. Employees o f motor vehicle and farm implement dealers and food service workers generally were exempt, but employees o f gasoline service stations which had sales o f $250,000 or more were subject to the minimum regardless o f the enterprise's sales. Data relating to coverage by the FLSA exclude food service workers in department, lim ited price variety, and drug stores.

within the scope o f the act accounted fo r m ore than tw o-fi f ths (43 p ercen t ) o f the N a t ion ’ s r e ta i l w o rk fo rce . They earned an average o f $2 .01 an hour, 21 cents m ore than the r e s t o f the w o rk fo r c e . The m in imum wage acts as a f lo o r to earnings in establishm ents which must pay at leas t the m in im um , but not in o thers. Thus, v i r tu a l ly a ll o f the em ployees in subject estab lishments w e re paid at leas t $1 .25 an hour, while on e-f i fth of the em p loyees in nonsubject e s tablishments earned less than that amount. O ne-e ighth (13 p ercen t ) o f the subject em p loyees w e re found earn ing just above the m in im um ($ 1. 25 to $ 1. 30 an hour). O f in te res t a lso, are the 14 percen t o f the nonsubject em ployees who had e a rn ings o f between $1 .25 and $1 .30 an hour, and the fact that they rep resen ted the la rg es t group o f such em ployees at any single wage in te rva l in the nonsubject sec tor . Thus, evidence of some in d irec t im pact o f the le g is la ted m inimum exem pt sec to r does appear to ex is t . Am ong h igher paid em ployees d if fe ren ces in the d is - tributions we re com p a ra t iv e ly sm all. F o r exam ple , only 8 percen tage points sep a rated the proport ions of subject and nonsubject em p loyees paid $2 an hour or m ore .

The re lationsh ip between subject and nonsubject estab lishments noted above fo r the r e ta i l industry on a nationwide basis also was applicable g en era l ly on a reg ion a l and popu la tion -s ize bas is , as shown on the fo l low ing tabulations

A ve ra g e H ourly Earn ings— M a jo r Groups

Am ong the seven m a jo r re ta i l industry groups constituting r e ta i l trade ( e x cluding eating and drinking p la ces ) average hourly earnings ranged from $1 .72 in appare l and a c c e s so ry s tores to $2 .19 in furn iture , home furn ishings, and household appliance s to res . (See tables 15—32. ) In addition to those in appare l

and a c c e s so ry s to res , em ployees in gen era l m erchandise s tores and m isce llaneous re ta i l s tores averaged at least 7 cents below the a ll r e ta i l trade pay le v e l o f $1 .96 an hour. E m ployees in these three groups constituted n ea r ly one-ha lf o f the r e ta i l w o rk fo rce .

The 47 cents pay d i f fe ren t ia l separating the low est from the highest paying industry group can be attributed to a v a r ie ty o f fa c to rs . F o r exam ple , the d i f fe r in g occupational requ irem ents and methods of wage payments, F ed e ra l and State m in imum wage leg is la tion , p a r t - t im e w ork fo rce as a percentage o f the total, and p roport ion of the w ork fo rce in urban areas a ll have an influence on the le v e l and distribution of earnings in each o f these r e ta i l groups.

D if fe ren ces among the m a jo r groups w e re found throughout the pay sca le . F o r exam ple , the p roport ion of em ployees paid less than $ 1. 30 an hour ranged from 16 percen t in furn iture, home furn ishings, and household appliance stores to 31 percen t in appare l and a c c e s so ry s to res . The spread at $ Z an hour or m ore was even g rea te r ; the proportions who had such earn ings ranged from 2 3 percen t in appare l s tores and gen era l m erchandise s tores to 46 percen t in furn iture , home furnishings, and appliance s to res .

R eg ion s . F o r each m a jo r re ta i l group the reg ion a l pattern o f earnings was s im i la r to that noted fo r the entire industry; that is , earnings w e re lowest fo r em ployees in the South and highest fo r those in the W est. E m ployees in the Northeast r e g is te r e d next to the highest earn ings. The re la t iv e wage advantage o f em p loyees in the W est over those in the South ranged f ro m 30 percen t in appare l and a c c e s so ry stores to 55 percen t in food s to res , com pared with an industryw ide advantage of 40 percent. No re lationsh ip appeared to ex is t b e tween this d i f fe ren t ia l and the le v e l of earnings in the m a jo r group. F o r e x ample, the South-West d i f fe ren t ia l was 30 percen t in appare l and a c c es so rys to res--- the low est paying group--- and 35 percen t in furniture and appliance s toreswhich re co rd ed the h ighest average pay le ve l . The sharp contrast between the South and the other reg ions, how ever , is h ighlighted when the re la t iv e d i f fe ren t ia l among the other reg ions is examined. The in te rreg ion a l va r ia t ion excluding the South, ranged from 11 to 29 percent, and in four o f the groups it was 18 percen t or less , as shown below .

In 3 of the 4 reg ions, em p loyees in appare l and a c c e s so ry s tores w ere the low est paid. In the notable exception , the Northeast, em p loyees in gen era l m e r chandise stores had the low est average pay le ve l . On the other hand, in the Northeast, South, and North Centra l reg ions, em p loyees in furniture s tores had the highest pay le v e l ; but in the W est, those at building m a te r ia ls , hardware, and fa rm equipment dea lers ave raged the most.

The d istribution o f em ployees among the seven m a jo r groups was s im ila r among the reg ions and, thus, did not appear to be a fac to r influencing the r e gional wage le v e ls .

M etropo litan and N on m etropolitan A rea s . Community s ize also appeared to influence the le v e l o f em ployee earnings in each m a jo r re ta i l industry. In each group the em p loyees in m etropo litan areas earned substantia lly m ore than those in nonm etropolitan areas ; the amount of the wage d i f fe ren t ia l ranged from 37 cents in gen era l m erchandise stores to 54 cents at automotive dea lers and gasoline s e rv ic e stations. In m etropo litan areas, average hourly earnings ranged from $1 .80 an hour in apparel and a c c e s so ry stores to $2 .32 an hour in both the automotive dea lersh ips and gasoline s e rv ic e stations group and the furniture and appliance s tores group. In nonm etropolitan areas the average pay le ve ls ranged from $1.41 an hour, again in appare l s to res , to $1 .84 an hour in fu r niture s to res .

W hereas earnings in each group w e re higher fo r those em ployees in m e t ropolitan areas , the pay le ve ls of the h igher paying groups in nonm etropolitan areas w ere som etim es h igher than those o f the low er paying groups in m e t r o politan areas. F o r exam ple , the $1 .84 an hour average pay le v e l fo r nonm etropolitan area em p loyees at furniture s tores was 4 cents h igher than the a v e r age repo r ted by m etropo litan area em p loyees in appare l and a c c e s so ry s tores .

Unlike what was noted on a reg iona l bas is , the d i f fe ren ces between the m e t ropolitan and nonm etropolitan area wage le ve ls appeared to be somewhat re la ted to industry m ix . When em ployees in nonm etropolitan areas are d istributed among the m a jo r groups in the same proportions as em p loyees in m etropo litan areas and the same nonm etropolitan area average is maintained fo r each group, the o v e ra l l r e ta i l a verage in nonm etropolitan areas dec lines by 6 cents, f rom $1 .67 to $1 .61 an hour. This d ecrease is due, in part, to the in creased p r o portion o f em p loyees in gen era l m erchandise s tores and appare l s to res , which was introduced into the nonm etropolitan area average .

Each m a jo r re ta i l industry group com prises s e v e ra l industries. T h e re fo r e , in ter industry d i f fe ren ces in pay le ve ls and earnings d istributions which resu lt, among other things, f rom d i f fe ren ces in sk il l requ irem ents and methods of wage payment are som etim es m asked when a m a jo r group is exam ined in its en t ir e ly and its component industries are not cons idered . Two exam ples are rea d i ly ava ilab le— the automotive dea lers and gasoline s e rv ic e stations m a jo r group, and the gen era l m erchand ise s tores m a jo r group.

W eek ly Hours of W ork— A l l R eta il T rade

R eta il trade em ployees averaged a 36. 3-hour workweek in June 1966. A 40-hour workw eek is a com m only accepted s chedule and m ore em p loyees , 1,827,000 or one-fourth of the work fo r c e , worked these hours than any other single set of hours. P a r t - t im e work ( less than 35 hours a week) and r e la t iv e ly long w o rk weeks (48 hours or m ore ) also are common— three-tenths and one-s ixth of the em ployees , re sp ec t iv e ly , worked such hours. (See table 7 .)

Am ong the four geograph ic reg ions average w eek ly hours ranged f ro m 33. 9 in the Northeast to 38. 9 in the South. O ne-ha lf o f the em ployees in the N o r th east— the la rg es t p roport ion of any reg ion— worked less than 40 hours a week, and contributed to this region*s re la t iv e ly low le v e l o f w eek ly hours. In the W est, where the w orkweek averaged 36.1 hours, one-th ird of the em p loyees , the la rg es t p roport ion of any reg ion , worked a 40-hour week; as a resu lt, this was the only reg ion in which m o re em ployees worked 40 hours than part t im e. The length of the average workweek in the South is attributable to the fact that o ve r tw o-fif ths of the em ployees worked m ore than 40 hours a week and one- fourth worked 48 hours or m o re , g rea te r proportions than in any other region . The d istribution of hours in the North Centra l m ost c lo s e ly con form ed to the nationwide pattern; the workweek averaged 36. 2 hours.

Em ployees in nonm etropolitan areas averaged 39.0 hours during the survey week, 3. 6 hours m o re than those in m etropo litan areas. Seven out of 10 e m p loyees in m etropo litan areas worked 40 hours or le ss , and only 1 out of 2 e m p loyees worked such hours in the s m a l le r areas. (See table 8 .)

Am ong the reg ions , the length o f the workweek in m etropo litan areas ranged f ro m 33. 6 hours in the Northeast to 38 hours in the South; and in nonm etropolitan areas f ro m 35. 5 hours to 40. 5 hours in the same two reg ions. In each reg ion , nonm etropolitan area w ork ers averaged longer workweeks than m etropo litan area w o rk e rs . The d i f fe r en t ia l was 2. 5 hours or less in three of the reg ions, s m a l le r than on a nationwide basis . In the North Centra l reg ion , em ployees in the sm a l le r populated areas worked 4. 7 hours m ore than those in the la r g e r areas . This reg ion had next to the la rg es t p roport ion of m etropo litan em ployees work ing part t im e and next to the la rg es t p roport ion of nonm etropolitan em ployees work ing long hours.

Men averaged 38. 6 hours during the survey week, 5. 4 hours m o re than women. (See table 9. ) Women constituted a d isp roport iona te ly la rg e part of the p a r t - t im e work fo r c e ; men g en era l ly worked the longer hours. T w o-f i f th s of the women, com pared with one-fourth o f the men, worked on a p a r t - t im e basis. Although, o v e ra l l , women accounted fo r 3 out of 7 em p loyees , they accounted fo r 1 out of 2 p a r t - t im e em p loyees . On the other hand, one-fourth o f the men but only 5 percen t o f the women worked 48 hours a week or m o re , and these 1. 1 m il l ion men constituted a ll but one-e ighth of the em p loyees work ing long hours.

On a reg ion a l bas is , the length of the workw eek fo r men ranged f ro m 36. Z hours in the Northeas t to 41. Z hours in the South and fo r women fro m 30.7 to 35. 6 hours in the same two reg ions. The pattern of hours worked by men and wom en d i f fe r ed only in d eg ree f ro m the nationwide pattern. The only reg ion in which m o re than one-s ix th of the wom en worked longer than 40 hours was the South, w here one-fourth worked such hours; they accounted fo r 1 out of 4 women in the Nation who w orked longer than 40 hours. S im ila r ly , the South was the only reg ion in which the p roport ion of men work ing 48 hours o r m o re (one-th ird ) was g r e a te r than the p roport ion work ing less than 40 hours (one-fourth ).

L i t t le re lationsh ip appeared to ex is t between the length of the a ve rage workw eek and en te rp r is e s ize . E m ployees in en te rp r ises that had $1 m il l io n or m o re in annual sales and those in en te rp r ises that had less than $Z50,000 in sa les ave raged the shortest w o rkw eeks , 35.5 and 36.0 hours, r e sp ec t iv e ly . E m ployees in the m edium volum e en te rp r ises had the longest w eeks , 39.6 and 38.3 hours. (See table 10.)

The p ropo rt ion of em ployees work ing part t im e ranged f r o m Z3 percen t in en te rp r ises that had sa les of between $500,000 and $1 m il l io n to 36 percen t in en te rp r ises that had less than $Z50,000 in sa les . W orkw eeks of exact ly 40 hours w e re m ost com m on in the la rg e s t en te rp r ises w here three-tenths o f the em ployees worked such schedules; h ow eve r , between on e-f i fth and one-fourth worked such hours in the s m a l le r en te rp r is e s . Long w orkweeks w e re found m ost frequen tly in the two en te rp r is e groups that had m edium sales vo lum e, where Z7 and Z6 p e r cent worked at leas t 48 hours a week.

E m ployees in establishments that had sa les o f between $150,000 and $Z50,000 averaged a longer w orkweek, 36. 9 hours, than em p loyees in e ither the la rg es t or sm a lle s t vo lum e establishments, 36.5 hours and 35.5 hours, re sp ec t iv e ly . (See table 11.) Long workweeks of 48 hours o r m o re and a 40-hour week o c curred with equal frequency among the two lo w e r volume estab lishm ents; about one-f i fth o f each group worked these hours. P a r t - t im e work occupied n ea r ly two- fifths of the em p loyees in the low est volume group and about one-th ird of those in the medium volum e group. Equal p roport ions of the em ployees in the highest volume group (th ree-ten ths ) worked few e r than 35 hours, 40 hours, and o ve r 40 hours a week. O ne-s ix th of the em ployees worked 48 hours a week or m ore .

E m ployees in establishments gen era l ly subject to the m axim um hours p r o v is ions of the F a i r Labor Standards A c t worked 34.5 hours a week, on an a v e r age, and those in establishments gen era l ly not subject to F L S A worked 36.4 hours a week. About one-th ird of the em ployees in each group worked part t im e. Three-ten ths of the subject group and one-fourth of the nonsubject group worked a 40-hour week. H ow eve r , the m axim um hours s tandard5 appeared to have l it t le e f fec t on the length of the workweek. In the sec to r subject to F L S A , Z1 percen t worked o ve r 40 hours a week, but this percen tage was only about one-e ighth low e r than the le v e l p r io r to the date the hours standard becom e opera t ive . In the s ec to r not subject to the act 36 p ercen t of the em p loyees worked o ve r 40 hours, one-f ifth less than in June 19&Z.

5 Overtime protection was provided by requiring pay at 1 V 2 times the regular rate for hours worked over 44 in a week beginning in September 1963, 42 hours beginning in September 1964, and 40 hours beginning in September 1965.

A v e ra g e w eek ly hours among em p loyees in the seven m a jo r industry groups ranged from 33.4 fo r those in appare l and a c c e s so ry s tores to 41.7 fo r those at building m a te r ia ls , hardw are , and fa rm equipment d ea le rs . (See tables 33 through 50. ) E m p loyees at automotive dea lers and gaso line s e rv ic e stations and in furniture and appliance s tores had average w orkweeks o f 41.6 and 38.6 hours, r e sp e c t iv e ly , and w e re the only others whose w orkw eek exceeded the o v e ra l l average of 36. 3 hours.

M a jor Groups and S e le c ted In d u s tr ie s . The three m a jo r groups which had the longest average workw eeks each had a sm a l le r p roport ion of p a r t - t im e e m p loyees than the other groups, few e r than one-fourth com pared with at leas t o n e - third. S im ila r ly , between tw o-fi f th s and th ree - f i f th s o f the fo rm e r em p loyees w orked longer than 40 hours a week; among the four groups which had low er average w orkweeks no m ore than three -tenths w orked such hours . The building m a te r ia ls , h a rd w a re , and fa rm equipment dea lers and the automotive dea lers and gasoline s e rv ic e stations groups had la rge p roport ions of em p loyees who worked 48 hours a w eek or m o r e , about one -th ird each. In the furniture group, one - f ifth of the em p loyees w orked as much as 48 hours during the week; among the other groups the p roport ions which had such hours were s t i l l sm a l le r . To - g e th e r , building m a te r ia ls d e a le r s , automotive d e a le r s , and furniture s t o r e s , which accounted fo r three -tenths of a ll em p loyees in re ta i l t r a d e , had 19 percen t o f the re ta i l em p loyees who w orked less than 35 hours a w eek and 57 percen t of those who w orked 48 hours or m ore .

The re lationsh ip between the reg ions which was noted for a ll r e ta i l trade (shortes t w orkw eek in the Northeast, longest in the South) g en e ra l ly held true fo r each o f the m a jo r groups. S im ila r ly , the re la tionsh ip between the m a jo r groups on a nationwide basis g en e ra l ly was p a ra l le led in each reg ion ; em ployees at building m a te r ia ls d ea lers and automotive dea lers and gaso line stations worked the longest hours. E m p loyees in m etropo litan areas ave raged few er hours of w o rk a w eek than those in nonm etropolitan areas , re ga rd le s s o f the m a jo r in dustry group.

In none o f the m a jo r groups did even one-tenth of the wom en w ork as long as 48 hours a week.

No consistent re lationsh ip was indicated between en te rp r ise s ize and the length o f the w orkweeks among the m a jo r groups, as the fo l low ing tabulation shows. In each m a jo r group, how ever , em p loyees in the high vo lum e es tab l ish ments g en e ra l ly w orked longer hours than those in the low volum e estab lishm ents. In each estab lishm ent grouping the re lationsh ip among the m a jo r groups on the basis of the average length of the w orkw eek was substantia lly the same as that noted on an o v e ra l l bas is . Thus, em ployees at automotive dea lers and gasoline stations and at building m a te r ia ls dea lers worked the longest week, and those in gen era l m erchandise stores and apparel and a c c e s so ry s tores worked the sh o r test week.

Am ong the 11 se lec ted industry groups the average w orkw eek ranged from 31. 9 hours in l im ited p r ice v a r ie ty stores to 43.4 hours at m oto r veh ic le d ea lers , (See tables 33 through 50 .) E m ployees in gaso line s e rv ic e stations; furn iture, home furnishings, and equipment s to res ; and household appliance s to res , in addition to those at m oto r veh ic le dea lers , averaged workweeks in excess o f the a l l - r e ta i l trade ave rage . With the exception of gasoline stations, where one- th ird of the em p loyees worked few e r than 35 hours a week, these groups had r e la t iv e ly sm a ll p roportions o f p a r t - t im e em p loyees (no m ore than one-f i fth ) and la rge proportions (at leas t tw o - f i f th s ) who worked o ve r 40 hours a week. Among the rem ain ing groups, at least three-tenths of the em p loyees w orked part t im e, but no m ore than one-th ird worked over 40 hours a week.

G en e ra l ly the re lationships fo r the various ch a rac te r is t ic s which w e re noted fo r a ll r e ta i l trade and fo r the m a jo r groups held true fo r the industry groups as w e l l . In each of the 11 se lec ted industry groups the longest average w o r k w eek was in the South, and the shortest in the Northeast. Nonm etropolitan area w o rk e rs ave raged longer weeks than m etropo litan area w o rk e rs . In nine of the groups men worked longer than women; in w om en ’ s r e a d y - to -w ea r s tores and in drug s tores women ave raged longer workweeks. In seven of the groups e m p lo y ees in the highest sales volume establishm ents ave raged the longest w orkw eeks ;


17

in the rem ain ing four, em p loyees in the m edium volum e estab lishm ents r e co rd ed the longest w orkw eeks . The shortest w orkw eek was re co rd ed in the low est sales volum e estab lishm ents in e v e r y group except w om en 's r e a d y - to -w e a r s tores where the m edium volum e estab lishm ents r e co rd ed the shortest a verage workweek.

A v e ra g e W eek ly Earn ings

R e ta i l em ployees a ve raged $71. 13 a w eek at s tra igh t- t im e rates in June 1965. A v e ra g e w eek ly earnings ranged from $14 .63 fo r em p loyees who worked less than 15 hours a w eek to $99.85 fo r those who w orked 48 hours or m ore . (See table 14.) A v e ra g e w eek ly earn ings are dependent upon two va r ia b le s : A v e ra g e hourly earn ings, and the number o f hours w orked during the week. N eve r th e le s s , average w eek ly earnings w e re found to v a r y d ir e c t ly with the number o f hours w orked during the week. Thus, despite low e r average hourly earn ings , some em p loyees , because they worked a g re a te r number o f hours, w e re able to earn m o re (on a s tra igh t- t im e b as is ) during the w eek than others who w orked few er hours at a h igher rate o f pay.

Am ong the reg ions, average w eek ly earnings ranged from $64.88 in the South to $84 .54 in the W est. The earnings d i f fe ren t ia l between the South and each o f the other reg ions was n a rrow er on a w eek ly than on an hourly bas is , and re f le c te d the e f fe c t o f the longer average w orkw eek in the South on the w eek ly wage le v e l there . In each o f the reg ions the group of em p loyees work ing less than 15 hours a w eek r e g is te r ed the low est earn ings; those work ing 48 hours or m ore r e g is te r e d the highest.

An exam ination of the re lationsh ips between the var ious se lec ted industry groups i l lu s tra tes the in terac tion o f hourly earnings and week ly hours. F o r exam ple , gas station em p loyees , at $ 1 .58 an hour, averaged only 2 cents m ore than em p loyees in w om en 's r e a d y - to -w ea r s to res .

On the other hand, gas station em p loyees and departm ent store em p loyees ave raged about the same amounts on a w eek ly bas is— $62 .24 and $62 .53 , r e sp e c t iv e ly . This s im i la r i t y in the w eek ly pay le ve ls hides the fact that departm ent s tore em p loyees held a 31-cent (20 p ercen t ) hourly pay advantage o ve r gas station em p loyees and that gas station em p loyees had to w o rk at leas t 6 hours m o re each w eek in o rd er to ach ieve the w eek ly pay of departm ent store em p loyees .

Changes i n A ve ra g e H ourly E a rn ings, June 1965—June 1966— A l l R eta i l T ra d e

During the p er iod between June 1965 (the date o f the Bu reau ’ s last survey o f r e ta i l trade ) and June 1966, em p loyees ' average hourly earn ings rose by 11 cents from $1 .85 to $1 .96 or by 6 percent. This advance in the pay le v e l r e f le c ts changes throughout the pay sca le . Earn ings fo r the m iddle half o f the w o r k f o r c e ranged between $1 .32 and $2 .25 an hour in 1966, com pared with the range $1 .27—$2.13 an hour in 1965. Thus, despite in creased earnings fo r the low est paid fourth o f the em p loyees , the d i f fe ren t ia l separating the ir earnings from those o f the h ighest paid fourth w idened by 7 cents. During this same p er iod m edian earnings rose from $1 .54 to $1 .63 an hour.

The p roport ion of em p loyees paid less than $ 1. 25 an hour dec lined from c lose to on e-f i fth to about one-tenth. L ess dram atic changes occu rred above this point. F o r exam ple , the p roport ion paid less than $1 .50 an hour declined, from 44 to 39 percent, and the p roport ion paid at leas t $ 2 an hour advanced, from 30 to 34 percent.

A v e ra g e hourly earnings rose by 9 cents in the North Cen tra l reg ion , by 10 cents in the Northeast, by 12 cents in the W est, and by 13 cents in the South. In r e la t iv e te rm s , these in creases amounted to 5 percen t in three o f the reg ions, but 8 percen t in the South. Thus, the in te r reg ion a l wage d i f fe r en t ia l n arrow ed s l igh tly on both an absolute and re la t iv e bas is . The South, which had the g rea tes t in crease in earn ings absolu te ly and re la t iv e ly , r e co rd ed the g rea tes t advances among lo w e r paid em p loyees ; the p roport ion paid less than $1 .25 an hour, fo r exam ple , dec lined from 38 to 21 percent, com pared with a decline or no m ore than 9 percen tage points at this l e v e l among the three other reg ions. A t the same t im e, the South was the only reg ion in which there was any noteworthy in crease in the p roport ion paid between $1 .25 and $ 1 .30 an hour, f ro m 12 to 18 percen t. Further up the pay scale changes w e re n ea r ly iden tica l, how ever . F o r exam p le , the p roport ion earning at leas t $ 2 an hour in creased by 4 p e r centage points in the Northeast and South and by 3 points in the North C en tra l and W est.

Establishm ent samples w ere obtained from three d if fe ren t sou rces : (1) State unemploym ent insurance l is t ings furnished em p loye r report ing units that had four o r m ore e m p loyees . (2) The la rg e chain store en te rp r ises prov ided curren t l ists o f re ta i l s to res and aux il ia ry units from which a sample o f such units was se lected . It was n ecess a ry to obtain these l is ts from the la rg e chain store en te rp r is es , because State unemployment insurance list ings frequently p rov ide data on a statewide or county basis fo r such companies rather than on an individual estab lishment basis . (3) The Bureau of the Census sample used in conjunction with its Month ly Survey o f Reta i l Sales c o ve red s ingle-un it r e ta i l s tores that have few er than four em p loyees . The Census coverage of sm a ll units was n ecess a ry to supplement the Bureau ’ s universe l is t fo r re ta i l trade, since State unemployment insurance laws in m any States do not co ve r em p loyers with few er than four em p loyees .

Method of Co llect ion

The m a jo r i ty of the establishments included in the sample w ere so l ic i ted fo r in fo r mation by m ail . The la rg es t units w ere v is ited in person by f ie ld econom ists o f the Bureau of Labor S tat ist ics , as w e re the sm alles t units by the Bureau of the Census enum erators acting as agents fo r the BLS. P e rso n a l v is its w ere also made to a sample o f the n on re spondents to the m a i l questionnaire.

Estim ating P ro ce d u re

Data co l lec ted fo r each sampling unit w ere weighted in accordance with the p ro b a b i l i ty o f se lec t ing that unit. F o r example, where 1 store out o f 10 was se lec ted fr o m an in d u stry -s ize group, data fo r that store w ere cons idered as rep resen ta t ive of the 10 s tores in the group. Thus, each segment of the re ta i l trade industry was given its appropr ia te weight in the total, rega rd less of the d isproportionate coverage of la rge and sm a ll s to res .

No assumption has been made that the wage structures o f the units not responding to the m a i l questionnaire w ere s im i la r to those of the units responding. To m in im ize the bias resulting from nonresponse, data obtained by persona l v is its fr om a sample of n on re spondents w ere weighted to represen t a ll other nonrespondents in s im i la r in dustry-s iz e groups. To compensate fo r schedules with unusable data, their weights w ere assigned to usable schedules o f the same in du stry -s ize group and fr om the same or re la ted area.

A l l estim ated totals der ived from the weighting p rocess w ere further adjusted to the em ployment le ve ls fo r June 1966, as reported in the Bureau of Labo r Statistics monthly em ployment s e r ie s . Since the monthly se r ie s is updated from t im e to t im e, the data fo r June 1962 which w ere published p rev ious ly w e re readjusted to the em ploym ent leve ls reported in Em ploym ent and Earnings Statistics fo r the United States, 1909—1964 (D ecem ber 1964). Consequently , data fo r June 19 62 published in June 19 65 are not n ecess a r i ly identica l to those published p rev ious ly . The published est im ates in this report a re , thus, consistent with the nonsuperv isory w ork e r employment shown in the monthly s e r ie s . Em ploym ent estim ates fo r individual industry groups fo r which the Bureau does not publish monthly f igures w ere p repared esp ec ia l ly fo r the purposes of this survey. Current reg iona l es t im ates , which could not be p repared from the monthly s e r ie s , w e re based on reg iona l distr ibutions from the m ost recen t Census of B u s in ess , p repared by the Bureau of the Census.

The adjustment o f the survey totals to the predesignated totals fo r June 1966 was confined, fo r the m ost part, to that segment of the survey fo r which the sample units w e re obtained from State unemployment insurance l ist ings. The l ists genera l ly w ere p repa red p r io r to the t im e of the survey and consequently do not account fo r units opened or c losed a fter the date o f the l is ts . In the Census and the la rge chainstore en terp r ise sam ples, the best unbiased est im ates of totals w e re presum ed to be the weighted-up sample totals, since there was no apparent p rob lem of unrepresented business births in these groups.

C r i t e r ia fo r Pub licat ion of Estim ates

The results of this survey d i f fe r from those that would have been obtained by a c o m plete canvass of a ll re ta i l operations, since the survey was conducted on a sample basis. These d i f fe rences m ay be substantial in those instances where the sample was sm all. It has not been poss ib le , th e re fo re , to p resen t data fo r all cases. No earnings d istr ibutions are shown fo r groupings of few er than 50 s to res , except fo r department stores where the sample included m ost of the la rg e stores in the un iverse .

5. EARNINGS AND HOURS OF WORK OF NONSUPERVISORY EMPLOYEES:This study is designed to provide information on hourly earnings and weekly hours of work for both male and female nonsupervisory employees and working supervisors for a payroll period including June 13, 1966. The number of employees in each establishment for which earnings and hours data are reported should correspond with the number of nonsupervisory employees shown in item 3(c) on page 1. The information requested should be reported separately for each establishment and the establishment identified. Earnings data for food counter, cafeteria, or restaurant workers in Department, Drug, or Variety Stores should be entered only on the blue supplement provided. Data for all other employees should be reported in Item 5 of this form.

Report earnings and hours separately for each employee unless these data are identical for two or more employees. Do not report aggregate earnings and hours for several employees. For convenience of reporting for employees paid on other than an hourly basis, columns 3 through 8 are provided. Data will not, however, be published separately by various methods of pay. Instructions and examples for reporting the necessary data in each column are listed below.

INSTRUCTIONS(Please read, carefully to avoid correspondence)

Complete columns 1, 2, and 3 for all nonsupervisory employees covered by this report ( see examples 1—5).

Column (1)— Indicate whether the employee is male (M) or female (F).

Column (2)__Use a separate line for each employee and enter " I , ” unless two or more employees of the samesex work the same number of hours during the selected week, and receive identical hourly or salary rates (see example 1). Data are to be reported individually for each employee whose earnings are based entirely or in part on commissions or bonuses (see examples 3, 4, and 5)-

Column (3)— Enter the number of hours worked during the week of June 6 to June 13, 1966. Include hours paid for sick leave, holidays, vacations, etc. These hours should relate to a 1-week period regardless of the length of the payroll period.

Use column 4 to report earnings o f employees paid on an hourly basis (see example 1).

Column (4)— Enter the base (straight-time) hourly rate. Premium pay for overtime work should not be reported. This column may also be used to report earnings of employees paid on o'ther than an hourly basis if average straight-time hourly earnings are available. For employees paid a commission or bonus in addition to an hourly rate, also complete columns 7 and 8 (see example 4).

Use columns 5 and 6 to report earnings o f employees paid on a weekly, biweekly, monthly, or semimonthly basis (see example 2).

Column (5)— Enter for each employee the straight-time earnings for the salary period (weekly, biweekly, monthly, or semimonthly) including June 13, 1966. Include straight-time pay for overtime, but exclude overtime premium. Do not include " draws” against commission as salary.

Column (6)— Enter the number of hours worked during the salary period (weekly, biweekly, monthly, or semimonthly). Include hours paid for sick leave, holiday s, vacations, etc. For employees paid a commission or bonus, also complete columns 7 and 8 (see example 5).

U-se columns 7 and 8 to report earnings o f nonsupervisory employees based entirely or in part on commissions and bonuses (see example 3).

Column (7)__Enter for each employee the total commission and/or bonus earnings, including "PM ’ s,” "Stims,”or any special bonuses based on sales paid quarterly or oftener by the store. These earnings are to be reported for the commission or bonus period including June 13, 1966. If the commissions earned during that pay period are not representative of normal commission earnings, a longer period may be used. If store employees receive both commission and bonus payments for an identical period of time, report the combined figure (see example 4). If bonus payments cover a period longer than the commission period, add only the prorated amount of the bonus to the commission earnings that correspond to the commission period (see example 5).

Column (8)— Enter the number of hours worked during the commission or bonus period. (The hours should refer to the total hours worked during the period (weekly, biweekly, monthly, or semimonthly) and not necessarily only to those hours during which commissions or bonuses were earned.) For employees paid an hourly rate or salary in addition to commissions or bonuses, it is also necessary to complete column 4, or columns 5 and 6 (see examples 4 and 5).

EXAMPLES(See illustrations on next page)

1. Two women each worked 36% hours during the selected week, and each was paid a straight-time hourly rate o f $1.05■

2. One man worked 40 hours during the selected week, and received a salary o f $125, exclusive o f premium pay for overtime,for 88 hours worked during the salary period ( l/2 month).
