5 Förord Föreliggande publikation omfattar de definitiva resultaten av socialstyrelsens statistiska undersökningar rörande löneförhållandena år 1955 för arbetare inom jordbruk, trädgårdsodling, skogsbruk, industri, byggnadsoch anläggningsverksamhet, transportväsen m. m. Preliminära redogörelser har publicerats i Meddelande från socialstyrelsens utredningsbyrå. Svenska stadsförbundet har förutom de uppgifter om löneförhållandena vid vissa kommunala trafikföretag i september 1955, som redovisas i kapitel VIII, sammanställt uppgifter rörande löneförhållandena under hela år 1955 för kollektivavtalsanställda arbetare vid kommunala verk och byggnadsarbeten. Då detta material ej var färdigbearbetat vid den tidpunkt, då föreliggande publikation färdigställdes för tryckning, har endast ett par huvudsiffror här kunnat återges (tab. 21 och 22). En redogörelse för undersökningen i fråga kommer att lämnas i Meddelande från socialstyrelsens utredningsbyrå. Redogörelserna i kapitlen I III har utarbetats av t. f. förste aktuarien Carl Y:son Hermelin, i kapitlen IV VII av aktuarien Marianne Gustavsson och i kapitel VIII av amanuensen Arved Oksaar. Redogörelsen i kapitel IX har utarbetats i samarbete med väg- och vattenbyggnadsstyrelsen. Stockholm i maj ERNST BEXELIUS Leif Björk

17 XV Summary I. Agricultural Workers Since 1937 the Social Welfare Board has compiled yearly statistics of wages in agriculture based on reports from farms. Up to 1953 the reporting farms were selected by the Rural Economy Associations. For 1954 the procedure used in the selection of the farms was changed. A systematic sample of farms was drawn from the farms included in the yearly survey of acreage and livestock conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics. The number of farms selected in the size groups 2 10, 10 20, and over 50 hectares amounted to 1/168, 1/56, 1/28 and 1/7 of the number of farms in the corresponding size groups according to the 1951 census of agriculture. In the 1955 survey the same sample was used, with the exception of 67 farms which had ceased to exist as independent units. In the 1955 survey the Social Welfare Board received from of the farms selected reports on wages and number of hours worked for each individual wage-earner. Before any computation of average earnings etc. was made, the reported number of workers at holdings in the size groups 2 10, 10 20, and hectares were»blown up» to correspond to the estimated number of workers which would have been obtained if the same sampling fraction and response rate (1/7 and 70,48 7o respectively) had been applicable for the farms in these size groups as for the farms with more than 50 hectares of arable land. The procedure is further described in»löner 1954», Part II, Appendix 1. As a rule both the reported and the»blown-up» number of workers are indicated in the tables. The average hourly and yearly earnings and the distribution of the workers according to the individual hourly earnings and to the yearly earnings have been computed on the basis of the»blownup» numbers of workers and the corresponding wage data. Classifications and definitions. In the wage statistics the agricultural workers are classified in four groups according to the methods of payment: 1) Workers without payments in kind, 2) Workers with free board, 3) Workers with free board and lodging, 4) Workers with necessaries of life and/or lodging. The following occupational classification is used with regard to male workers: 1) Farm foremen (rättare), 2) Farm workers proper (egentliga lantarbetare), 3) Tractor operators (traktorskötare), 4) Workers doing various jobs crops and livestock (arbetare med blandat arbete), 5) Cattle foremen (ladugårdsförmän), 0) Cattlemen (djurskötare), 7) Specialized workers (specialarbetare), 8) Other workers (övriga arbetare). The average hourly earnings (table 2) of a group of workers are computed as

18 XVI the quotient of the wage total paid to the group (excluding piece-work payments) and the corresponding sum of hours worked (excluding piece-work). The wage total comprises cash payments on a time-rate basis (including overtime), the value of payments in kind, holiday pay, commission etc. The median and quartile hourly earnings (tables 3 and 7) are calculated on the basis of the individual average hourly earnings. The average yearly earnings (table 2) are calculated as the quotient of the wage total paid to the workers for the year (including piece-work payments) and the number of workers; these averages as well as the corresponding medians and quartiles (table 4) only refer to workers for whom the respective employer has reported at least 250 working days during the year. Data on the development of earnings during the period for the main groups of agricultural workers are given in tables F and G. Since the method of selection of reporting farms was changed in the 1954 survey, the average earnings computed for 1954 and 1955 are not fully comparable with the corresponding average earnings for the years The index numbers of earnings in 1954 given in table F are computed on the basis of weighted averages of earnings for 10 groups of workers (five size groups of farms, covered and not covered respectively by collective agreements); the weights used are the totals of man-hours reported in the 1953 wage survey. The index numbers for 1955 (1946 = 100) are computed by chaining index numbers for 1955 (1954 = 100) to those for 1954 (1946 = 100). The index numbers in table F indicate that the earnings of male agricultural workers have increased approximately by 136 per cent since Wages in Table 2 indicates the average hourly and yearly earnings for various occupational groups of agricultural workers with different methods of payment, covered and not covered by collective agreements. Wages vary considerably with occupation, the method of payment, and the presence or absence of collective agreements. Male»farm workers proper» (18 64 years of age) earned on the average 3,13 kr per hour on farms covered by collective agreements, and 2,81 kr per hour on farms not covered by collective agreements. For cattlemen without payments in kind the average hourly earnings were 3,45 kr on farms covered by collective agreements. The corresponding average yearly earnings (only workers with at least 250 working days during the year) were kr, kr, and kr respectively. Female»farm workers proper» (18 64 years of age) earned 2,57 kr per hour on farms covered by collective agreements and 2,01 kr on farms not covered by collective agreements. II. Garden Workers The statistics on wages in horticulture in 1955 were based on reports from employers concerning wages, number of hours etc. for each individual wage earner. In the 1955 survey reports were requested from the same sample of employers as in the survey of The questionnaire was answered by employers. The sample was drawn from a list of horticultural establishments (market gardens, nursery-gardens etc.) reported to the 1951 census of produc-

19 XVII tion, distribution and services. AH establishments -with 3 or more wage earners and 10 per cent of other establishments were included in the sample. The number of workers reported in the lastmentioned group was»blown up» by a procedure analogous to the one used in the case of agricultural workers (cf. p. XV). As a rule both the reported and the»blown-up» number of workers are indicated in the tables. The following occupational classification is used: 1) Garden foremen (förmän), 2) Skilled garden workers (yrkesarbetare), 3) Garden labourers (grovarbetare), 4) Apprentices (elever, lärlingar), 5) Specialized workers (specialarbetare), 6) Other workers (övriga arbetare). The average hourly earnings of garden workers are calculated as the quotient of the wage total (including earnings from piece-work) and the total number of hours worked (including hours on piece-work). Yearly earnings of garden workers are computed according to the same principles as those used for agricultural workers (cf. p. XVI). The development of wages during the period is shown in table L. The average earnings computed for 1954 and 1955 are not entirely comparable with the corresponding averages for previous years. The index numbers of average wages in 1954 for»all male workers» (samtliga manliga arbetare) and»all female workers» (samtliga kvinnliga arbetare) are based on averages weighted by the number of manhours reported for various sub-groups in the 1953 survey. All the index numbers of 1955 are calculated by chaining index numbers of 1955 (1954 = 100) to the index numbers of 1954 (1948 = 100). The average hourly earnings of skilled male workers (aged years) covered by collective agreements were 3,52 kr and the average yearly earnings kr (for workers with at least 250 working days). The corresponding averages for skilled male workers not covered by collective agreements were 3,22 kr and kr, respectively. III. Forestry Workers The regional forestry inspectors have reported to the Social Welfare Board estimates of the normal daily earnings of 1) fellers and 2) haulers (man and horse) employed in public forests by the Swedish Forest Service during the winter season 1955/56. On the basis of these estimates the Social Welfare Board has calculated the unweighted average daily earnings of fellers as 36 kr (39 kr in Northern.Sweden) and those of haulers (man and horse) as 60 kr (69 kr in Northern Sweden). The average of the reported daily earnings, weighted by the quantities felled, has been calculated as 37 kr for fellers and 64 kr for haulers. In comparison with the survey of 1954/ 55 the unweighted average earnings of fellers as well as of haulers have risen by 4 % and the weighted average earnings by 5 %. IV. Workers in Mining and Manufacturing Industries Scope of survey and collection of data. Since 1918 the Social Welfare Board has carried out statistical investigations into the wages of workers in mining and manufacturing and related industries. The statistics were based on employers' reports. Beginning in 1954 a new proce-

20 XVIII dure was followed in the collection and tabulation of the data. According to an agreement between the Social Welfare Board and the Swedish Employers' Confederation, the Confederation was to collect reports on wage data from member firms engaged in mining and manufacturing, building and construction, inland transport, petroleum marketing and stevedoring, while the Social Welfare Board was to collect the corresponding data from firms not affiliated to the Confederation. The two sets of material were jointly tabulated by the Social Welfare Board. On the questionnaires used for the statistics of wages in mining and manufacturing in 1955, summary data on wages and man-hours were requested for the following groups of wage earners: a) adult and minor male and female workers on day work or 2-shift work or on 3-shift work with a working week of 48 hours; b) adult male workers with a working week of 45 1/3 hours in 3-shift work (stopping at the end of the week); c) adult male workers with a working week of 42 hours in 3-shift work (not stopping at the end of the week); d) adult male workers with a working week of 40 hours in underground work in mines etc. The data requested for each of these groups were: average number of workers employed during 1955, number of man-hours performed and total payrolls with breakdown by time-work and piece-work. Information was further requested concerning the number of overtime hours, overtime supplements, extra shift pay, public and annual holiday pay, and other wage supplements, e.g. payments in kind. The reporting units were either the firms, their local establishments or in some cases departments of establishments. Data were obtained altogether from about establishments in mining and manufacturing industries (excl. public enterprises) with about male and female wage-earners. The total number of man-hours reported for 1955 amounted to 86 % of the corresponding number of man-hours reported in the Board of Trade's survey of industrial production and employment in The main groups in the industrial classification used for mining and manufacturing are shown in the table above. The breakdown into sub-groups corresponds with few exceptions to the classification used by the Board of Trade for the statistics of industry (cf.

21 XIX Sveriges officiella statistik: Industri, berättelse för år 1954, Stockholm 1956, pp ). Changes in wages since The average total hourly earnings of adult male wage-earners in mining and manufacturing rose by about 246 % between 1939 and 1955 (see table 24). The corresponding increase for adult female wage-earners was 282 %, and for juveniles 340 %. During the war years the increase was 42 % for adult males, and 50 % for adult females. A further increase by 44 % for males and 52 % for females occurred during the years , and for the period wages increased by 70 and 67 %, respectively. Between 1954 and 1955 the average increase in wages was 8 % for both male and female workers in mining and manufacturing. Real wages (see table 24 and chart III) rose by 62 % for adult men and by 79 % for adult women in mining and manufacturing during the years Average hourly earnings in Three different averages of hourly earnings are computed: average hourly earnings from time-work and piece-work a) excluding any kind of wage supplements, b) including overtime supplements and extra shift pay and c) including overtime supplements, extra shift pay, holiday pay, and other wage supplements. The table on page XVIII shows the average hourly earnings a), b) and c) of adult workers in the main branches of industry. In table 25 corresponding data are given with a more detailed breakdown into branches of industry. The average total hourly earnings c) of all adult male workers amounted to 4,64 kr in The average hourly earnings c) of adult female workers were 3,21 kr or about 70 % of the average earnings of adult male workers. Nearly 50 % of the adult female workers reported were employed in the textile and clothing industries, where the average hourly earnings were 3,11 kr. The wage level is influenced by the frequency of piece-work, which as a rule gives higher hourly earnings than time-work. In mining and manufacturing as a whole, piece-work accounted for 61 % of the number of man-hours performed by adult male workers (see table 23). Piece-work is of relatively small importance in certain branches of the food industry and in the printing industry, while it is of great importance e.g. in iron, steel and copper works, shipyards, pulp factories and paper mills. For adult male workers in mining and manufacturing the hourly earnings (exclusive of all wage supplements) from piece-work were 16 % higher than the earnings from time-work: the corresponding figure for adult female workers was 17 %. When comparing the wage levels in various industries the location of the establishments with regard to cost-ofliving zones should be taken into consideration. Table 26 shows the average hourly earnings in 1955 in the various branches of industry and cost-of-living zones. The differences in hourly earnings between cost-of-living zones are considerable. In zone 2 (areas with the lowest cost-ofliving level) the average hourly earnings (including all supplements) of adult male workers were 24 % lower than in zone 5 (the highest zone). For adult female workers the corresponding difference was 18 %.

22 XX V. Workers in Building and Construction The statistics on wages in building and construction in 1955 are based on information concerning about workers (excluding those employed by government agencies, cf. chapter VI). The material was collected by the Social Welfare Board in co-operation with the Swedish Employers' Confederation (cf, p. XVIII). Special questionnaires were sent to the house-building firms, which were requested to provide information on wages and hours with breakdown by adult males, adult females and male juveniles and by occupational groups. Plumbers', electricians', painters', tinners' and glaziers' firms, as well as; firms engaged in road and waterway construction, supplied the same type of information as firms in mining and manufacturing. The average hourly earnings c) (including all supplements) in 1955 for adult male workers in all branches covered amounted to 5,98 kr. In house-building the average earnings of all occupational groups were 6,10 kr; those of bricklayers were 7,27 kr, of carpenters 6,66 kr, of labourers 5,72 kr, and of other workers 5,10 kr. In road and waterway construction the average earnings were 6,16 kr, in electricians' firms 5,45 kr, in plumbers' firms 5,30 kr, in painters' firms 7,19 kr, in glaziers' firms 4,99 kr and in tinners' firms 6,49 kr. Between 1954 and 1955 the average hourly earnings of workers in the building and construction industries increased by 4 %. VI. Wage Earners in Government Service The Social Welfare Board has collected information on wages in 1955 in industrial establishments, construction works etc., operated directly by government agencies, such as the State Railways, the Post Office, the Telecommunications Office, the State Power Office and the Services. Data were collected on the same questionnaire as was used for private industrial establishments. The number of workers reported was about , of whom about 95 % were males. The average hourly earnings c) (including all supplements) amounted to 4,88 kr in 1955 for all adult male workers reported, and to 3,59 kr for adult female workers. Between 1954 and 1955 the earnings rose by 7 % for male workers and by 6 % for female workers. VII. Workers in Stevedoring Data on wages in stevedoring in 1955 were collected by the Social Welfare Board in co-operation with the Swedish Employers' Confederation (cf. p. XVIII). About adult male workers were reported. The average hourly earnings c) (including all supplements) amounted to 5,96 kr. Between 1954 and 1955 the earnings rose by 13 %. VIII. Workers in Inland Transport and Petroleum Marketing Data on wages in inland transport and petroleum marketing during the third quarter of 1955 (or in the case of municipal tramway and omnibus transport during September 1955) were collected

23 XXI by the Social Welfare Board in co-operation with the Swedish Employers' Confederation and the Union of Swedish Towns. Table 37 shows the average hourly earnings, including commission and overtime pay (but excluding tips), of taxi-drivers. The average hourly earnings (excluding and including overtime supplements and supplements for shift-work etc.) of workers in omnibus transport (other than municipal enterprises), motor truck transport and petroleum marketing are shown in tables 38, 39 and 40. Between 1954 and 1955 the average hourly earnings (including overtime supplements and supplements for shiftwork etc.) of drivers in private omnibus transport increased by 10 %, in State omnibus transport by 14 % and in private motor truck transport by 13 %. The average earnings (including overtime supplements and supplements for shift-work etc.) of workers at gasoline stations amounted to 4,01 kr. Between 1954 and 1955 the earnings rose by 15 %. Table 41 shows the average hourly earnings (excluding and including overtime supplements) of workers in municipal tramway and omnibus enterprises. Between 1954 and 1955 the average earnings (including overtime supplements) of workers with monthly wages and working 48 and 45 hours a week increased by 8 % and 11 % respectively. IX. Public Road Construction and Maintenance Workers Statistics on the wages of workers employed in public road and bridge construction and maintenance works are compiled by the Roads and Waterways Administration on the basis of quarterly reports from local agencies. The average hourly earnings c) (including all supplements) in 1955 a- mounted to 4,39 kr for maintenance workers, 4,38 kr for garage, machine shop and store workers and 5,01 kr for road and bridge construction workers (cf. tables 42 and 43).
