This bulletin summarizes the results of a Bureau of Labor Statistics survey of wages
and related benefits for employees in home offices and regional head offices of the life
insurance industry in December 1971. A similar study was conducted by the Bureau in
October-November 1966.
Separate releases for the following areas were issued earlier: Atlanta, Baltimore,
Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Des Moines, Hartford, Houston, Jacksonville, Los Angeles-Long
Beach and Anaheim-Santa Ana-Garden Grove, Minneapolis-St. Paul, New York and
Newark, New York City, and Philadelphia. Copies are available from the U.S. Department
of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Washington, D. C. 20212, or any of its regional
offices.
This study was conducted in the Bureau's Office of Wages and Industrial Relations.
Edward J. Caramela of the Division of Occupational Wage Structures prepared the
analysis in this bulletin. Field work for the survey was directed by the Assistant Regional
Directors for Operations.
Other reports available from the Bureau's program of industry wage studies, as well as
the addresses of the Bureau's regional offices, are listed at the end of this bulletin.

increase of 13 percent since a similar study in 1966.5
Employment increases were noted in six of the eight
regions for which data are tabulated separately, ranging
from slightly less than 10 percent in the Border States
and Southwest to 55 percent in New England. In the
Middle Atlantic and Pacific regions, the numbers of
workers reported declined 3 and 7 percent, respectively,
over the 5-year period.
In the current study, two-thirds of the workers were
concentrated in three regions— Middle Atlantic (27
percent), New England (21 percent), and the Great
Lakes (18 percent). In each of the remaining five
regions, the proportions of workers amounted to about
10 percent or less.
Home offices and regional head offices of life
insurance companies are located almost exclusively in
metropolitan areas.6 The 13 areas studied separately in
December 1971 accounted for nearly two-thirds of the
total nonsupervisory office employment in such
establishments. Employment levels, however, varied sub
stantially by area, as indicated in the following
tabulation:
Average weekly salaries of employees in 42 repre
sentative occupations in life insurance offices ranged
from $427 for actuaries performing highly complex
statistical studies to $81.50 for routine file clerks in
December 1971.1 Men substantially outnumbered
women in most of the higher skilled and higher paying
occupations; women accounted for virtually all workers
in the office clerical jobs studied.
Occupational averages tended to be highest in the
Middle Atlantic and Pacific regions and lowest in the
Southeast and Middle West.1 In the 13 selected areas of
industry concentration studied separately, earnings were
usually highest in the New York and Newark area and
lowest in Jacksonville.3
Paid holidays and paid vacations were provided by all
establishments visited during the survey, and nearly all
employees were covered by various types of health,
insurance, and retirement plans paid for, at least in part,
by the employer. Offices typically provided from 9 to
12 paid holidays annually and from 2 to 4 weeks of
vacation pay after qualifying periods of service.

Industry characteristics
Home and regional head offices of life insurance
companies within scope of the survey employed 127,167
nonsupervisory officeworkers in December 1971 4—
1 See appendix A for scope and method of survey, and
appendix B for occupational descriptions. Wage data exclude
premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays,
and late shifts.
2 For definition of regions, see footnote 1, appendix table
A-l.
3 For definitions of areas, see footnote 1, tables 2 through
15. In addition to the New York-Newark combined area, data
are presented separately for the New York City portion (five
boroughs).
Home offices accounted for nearly nine-tenths of the
employees covered by the survey. The proportions of
workers in regional head offices amounted to two-thirds
4 The nonsupervisory officeworkers covered by this study
represent about one-third of the 557,200 workers estimated to
be employed in the industry in December 1971. (See Employ
ment and Earnings Vol. 18, No. 9, March 1972.) Life insurance
companies have large numbers of sales personnel who are not
usually employed in home offices or regional head offices.
Nonsupervisory
office employees

U.S. Office of Management and Budget through January 1968.
of the total in the Pacific region, one-fourth in the
Southwest, nearly one-sixth in the Southeast and Great
Lakes, and less than one-tenth in the remaining regions.
Mutual companies—
those owned by policy holders—
employed 55 percent of the workers. Such companies
accounted for nearly nine-tenths of the employees in the
Middle Atlantic region and about three-fourths in the
Pacific. The reverse was true in the Border States,
Southeast and Southwest regions, where a large majority
of the nonsupervisory officeworkers were employed by
stock companies (those owned by stockholders). In the
New England, Great Lakes, and Middle West regions,
employment was about evenly divided between the two
types of companies.
Firms which handled other types of insurance (e.g.,
accident, hospitalization, fire) in addition to life insur
ance, employed four-fifths of the officeworkers. Offices
of companies dealing exclusively in life insurance
accounted for about two-fifths of the work force in the
Border States, Great Lakes, and Middle West regions,
nearly one-fourth in the Southwest, and one-tenth or
less in the other regions.
companies in the survey varied greatly in employment
size. At the lower end of the establishment— size scale,
nearly one-third of the offices covered by the study
employed fewer than 100 workers; a similar proportion
employed between 100 and 250 workers, and nearly
one-sixth employed between 250 and 500. Together,
these three establishment-size groups accounted for
about four-fifths of the offices within scope of the
survey, but employed only slightly more than one-fourth
of the 127,167 nonsupervisory officeworkers. At the
upper end of the scale, one-tenth of the offices
employed 1,000 workers or more (including a few with
more than 5,000) and accounted for three-fifths of the
total work force in December 1971.
employed in clerical and related jobs, including secre
taries, stenographers, typists, filing and general clerks,
and operators of bookkeeping and other kinds of office
machines. They perform much of the same kind of work
in insurance companies as their counterparts do in other
types of business enterprises. However, other workers in
insurance offices have jobs unique to the industry,
including correspondence clerks, policy evaluation
clerks, and premium acceptors. Some, such as claim
approvers and underwriters, are in positions of consider
able responsibility which require extensive knowledge of
one or more phases of the life insurance business.
Professional workers account for relatively few of the
jobs in life insurance offices. One such profession (for
which data are provided in this report) is that of the
actuary. These workers make statistical studies relating
to various kinds of risks, to determine the premium
charge on each type of policy.
Insurance companies were among the first business
firms to use electronic data processing (EDP) equipment.
By the mid-1960's, the overwhelming majority of life
insurance companies had installed EDP equipment and
applied it to various functions and operations. The
application of computers and related EDP equipment
has been directed to most of the large-volume record
keeping, sorting, and filing operations, which formerly
required numerous clerical employees. Employment
increases in occupations related to electronic data
processing have been accompanied by employment
declines in some clerical jobs.
This general pattern emerged in a comparison of 1971
occupational employment levels with the Bureau's 1961
and 1966 surveys in the life insurance in d u stry . 7
Although the studies do not provide a precise measure of
the magnitude of such changes, some general observa
tions on direction can be made. For example, the
number of computer operators, programers, and systems
analysts showed substantial gains since the 1961 study—
whereas the numbers of assemblers, file clerks,
premium-ledger-card clerks, and tabulating-machine
operators decreased. (See chart.)
Establishments with collective bargaining agreements
covering a majority of their nonsupervisory officeworkers were found in only four regions and employed
less than 5 percent of the industry's office employment.
All workers covered by the survey were in offices
having time-rate systems of wage payment. Formal
systems, providing a range of rates for specified occupa
tions, were the basis of wage payment for nine-tenths of
the workers. Informal systems, which based salaries on
the qualifications of individual workers, applied to all
remaining workers. This method of wage payment was
particularly significant in the Southeast and Southwest
regions, where it covered about one-fifth and threetenths of the workers, respectively.
A large majority of the personnel in home offices and
regional head offices of life insurance companies are
Occupational earnings
The 42 occupational classifications studied, account
ing for about 42,000 employees, were selected to re
present salary levels for the various types of activities per
formed in home and regional head offices of insurance
companies. For the 28 occupations comparable to those
studied in the 1966 survey, increases in average weekly

salaries ranged from 19 to 38 percent. The median of
these increases was 30 percent over the 5-year period,
i.e., one-half were higher than this figure, one-half were
lower.
Nationwide, average (mean) weekly salaries in
December 1971 ranged from a high of $427 for class A
actuaries to $81.50 for class C file clerks. (See table 1.)
Men were numerically predominant in most of the
highest paying jobs studied, including actuaries, under
writers, systems analysts, programers, and computer
operators. Salaries for such jobs typically averaged above
$170 a week.
Women, on the other hand, accounted for virtually all
workers in the office clerical occupations studied.
Excluding secretaries, weekly salaries for most of these
jobs averaged less than $120. Secretaries, as a group,
averaged $135 a week, ranging from $172 for class A to
$118 for class D. The class A secretary works for a
chairman of the board or the president of a company
with 100 to 5,000 employees; the latter works for either
supervisors of organizational units with fewer than 30
employees or for nonsupervisory staff specialists.
Earnings of office clerical workers and EDP related
employees in the life insurance industry were usually
lower than the straight-time weekly averages for
corresponding jobs in the Bureau's area wage surveys.8
Text table 1 presents pay relatives based on average
weekly salaries using the averages in the broader based
area wage surveys as 100.
Insurance employees in the 28 comparable job classi
fications usually averaged between 5 and 14 percent less
than their counterparts in all industries combined.
However, when viewed on a somewhat more comparable
industry basis, i.e., using the finance, insurance, and real
estate industry sector of the area wage surveys as 100,
the pay relatives for 20 of the 28 occupational levels
were within 5 percent of the base.
Among the jobs for which data are presented in all
regions, average weekly earnings were usually highest in
the Middle Atlantic and Pacific States, and lowest in the
Southeast and Middle West. There were, however, some
notable exceptions to this pattern. In the New England
region, for example, averages for several jobs closely

related to the insurance business exceeded those
recorded in the Pacific region, and in a number of
instances, job averages in the Southwest were lower than
those in the Southeast and Middle West, particularly for
clerical jobs. The spread in occupational averages
between the highest and lowest paying regions typically
ranged from 20 to 40 percent.
Among the 13 areas selected for separate study,
average earnings were usually highest in the New York
and Newark area and lowest in Jacksonville. (See tables
2-15.) Interarea differences in average earnings varied
substantially, however, by occupation. To illustrate,
class A systems analysts in Hartford averaged only 2
percent more than those in Jacksonville, while the
corresponding spread was 19 percent for class B typists.
Large differences in area pay levels were not limited
to the lesser skilled jobs. For example, the earnings
spread for actuaries, underwriters, and systems analysts
ranged from 26 percent for class C systems analysts to
42 percent for class A actuaries.
A number of the occupations selected for separate
study were staffed almost entirely by either men or
women. In those jobs in which both men and women

To the extent that individual pay is adjusted on the basis
of length of service, longer average service for one sex
can result in higher average pay when both sexes are
employed within the same rate range.
Individual earnings ranged widely within most occu
pations studied. To illustrate, an examination of the
nationwide earnings distributions reveals that the middle
ranges of earnings produced dispersion factors of 20
percent or more for most of the 42 occupational
classifications studied. (See text table 2.)
Earning variations within occupations are more
clearly illustrated on an individual area basis. In a
number of instances, weekly earnings of the highest paid
employees exceeded those of the lowest paid in the same
job and area by 100 percent or more. This resulted in
considerable overlapping of individual salaries between
workers in occupations with widely disparate average pay
levels, as is shown in text table 3.

and 10 or 15 percent when employed on night or other
late shifts.
Paid holidays. All establishments visited during the study
granted paid holidays to their nonsupervisory office
employees, typically 9 to 12 days annually. The number
of paid holidays provided, however, varied substantially
both among and within regions. (See table 17.) For
example, in the three major employment regions, the
most common provisions were 11 days in New England,
12 days in the Middle Atlantic and 8 or 9 in the Great
Lakes. In the two latter regions, however, provisions
ranged from 6 to 13 days or more. Provisions for half
holidays (in addition to full holidays) were available to
at least one-tenth of the officeworkers in nearly all
regions.
Establishment practices and
supplementary wage provisions
Paid vacations. Paid vacations, after qualifying periods of
service, were provided to all nonsupervisory office
employees. (See table 18.) Typical provisions were 2
weeks of vacation pay after 1 year of service, 3 weeks
after 10 years, and 4 weeks after 20 years of service.
Data were also obtained on certain establishment
practices and supplementary wage benefits for nonsupervisory office employees, including work schedules, paid
holidays, paid vacations, and health, insurance, and
retirement plans.

Southwest and Middle West regions were a majority of
such employees scheduled to work longer than 37.5
hours a week, usually 38.75 or 40 hours.
Less than 2 percent of the officeworkers were
employed on late shifts in December 1971. Practically
all were electronic data processing or related employees,

Health, insurance, and retirement plans. Virtually all
office employees covered by the survey were provided
life, hospitalization, surgical, medical, and major medical
insurance, for which employers paid at least part of the
cost. (See table 19.) Paid sick leave (usually at full pay
with no waiting period) was available to about seveneighths of the officeworkers, while sickness and accident
plans applied to three-fifths. Accidental death and
dismemberment insurance was available to seven-tenths of
the workers. For most of these benefits there was very
little regional variation in the proportions of workers
covered. A notable exception, however, was sickness and
accident insurance. Coverage of this benefit varied from
less than one-tenth of the workers in the Middle West,
where sick leave applied to seven-eighths of the workers,
to four-fifths in the New England region, where ninetenths of the employees were covered by sick leave
Retirement pension plans (other than social security),
providing regular payments for the remainder of the
retiree's life, were available to nearly all workers in the
survey. Typically, these plans were paid for wholly by
the employer. Provisions for lump-sum payments
(severance pay) on retirement were virtually nonexistent
in the industry.
Other selected benefits. Nearly all workers were ifi
establishments having formal provisions for jury duty
pay and pay to attend funerals of specified relatives.
Nearly three-tenths of the workers were in offices
providing free lunches to their employees. This practice
was prevalent only in the Middle Atlantic and Pacific
regions, but it was reported by some establishments in
all regions except in the Middle West. (See table 20.)

Scope of Survey
Nonsupervisory office employees
The study covered home offices and regional head
offices of life insurance companies (part o f industry
group 631, as defined in the 1967 edition o f the
Standard Industrial Classification Manual, prepared by
the U.S. Office o f Management and Budget).
The establishments studied were selected from those
employing 50 employees or more at the time of refer
ence of the data used in compiling the universe lists.
The number o f establishments and employees studied
by the Bureau, as well as the number estimated to be
within scope o f the survey during the payroll period
studied, are shown in table A-l.
The term "nonsupervisory office employees," as used
in this bulletin, includes all nonsupervisory employees of
the establishment, except those engaged in custodial,
maintenance, and related work. Administrative, execu
tive, and professional employees were excluded.
Occupations selected for study
Occupational classification was based on a uniform
set o f job descriptions designed to take account of
interestablishment and interarea variations in duties
within the same job. (See appendix B for those
descriptions.) The occupations were chosen for their
numerical importance, and their representativeness of
the entire job scale in the industry. Working supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, and handi
capped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers
were not reported in the selected occupations.
Method of study
Data were obtained by personal visits o f Bureau field
staff. The survey was contucted on a sample basis. To
obtain appropriate accuracy at minimum cost, a greater
proportion of large rather than small establishments was
studied. In combining the data, however, all establish
ments were given their appropriate weight. All estimates
are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments
in the industry group studied, excluding only those
below the minimum size at the time o f reference o f the
universe data.
Wage data
Average weekly hours were rounded to the nearest
half hour and average weekly earnings to the nearest half
dollar. Standard hours reflect the workweek for which
employees receive their regular straight-time salaries;
earnings correspond to these weekly hours. Cost-of-living
allowances were included as part of the employee's
regular salary, but nonproduction bonus payments, such
as Christmas or yearend bonuses, were excluded.
Average (mean) weekly earnings for each occupation
were calculated by weighting each rate (or weekly
earnings) by the number of workers receiving the rate,
totaling, and dividing by the number o f individuals. The
median designates position—
half of the employees
surveyed received more than the rate shown and half
received less than the rate shown. The middle range is
defined by two rates of pay; a fourth o f the employees
earned less than the lower o f these rates and a fourth
earned more than the higher rate.
Establishment definition
An establishment, for purposes o f this study, is defined
as all physical locations in an area where the operations of
the home office or a regional office are performed. A re
gional head office is defined as one having all or nearly
all of the normal life insurance administrative functions,
including underwriting. An establishment is not neces
sarily identical with the company, which may consist of
one or more establishments.
The estimates o f the number o f employees within
scope of the study are intended as a general guide to the
size and composition o f the labor force included in the
survey, rather than a precise measure o f employment.
Scheduled weekly hours
Data refer to the predominant work schedule for

study.
full-time nonsupervisory officeworkers employed on the
day shift.
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, I plans are included only if the employer (1)
contributes more than is legally required or (2) provides
the employees with benefits which exceed the re
quirements of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to
formal plans which provide full pay or a proportion of
the employee's pay during absence from work because
of 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 o f 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 o f sickness or injury
involving an expense which goes beyond the normal
coverage o f 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
ment. Establishments providing both retirement sever
ance pay and retirement pensions* to employees were
considered as having both retirement pension and
retirement severance plans. Establishments having
optional plans providing employees a choice o f either
retirement severance pay or pensions were considered as
having only retirement pension benefits.
Supplementary benefits were treated statistically on
the basis that if formal provisions were applicable to half
or more o f the nonsupervisory office employees in an
establishment, the benefits were considered applicable to
all such employees. Similarly, if fewer than half were
covered, the benefits were considered nonexistent in the
establishment. Because o f length-of-service and other
eligibility requirements, the proportion o f employees
receiving the benefits may be smaller than estimated.
Paid holidays. Paid holiday provisions relate to full-day
and half-day holidays provided annually.
Paid vacations. The summary o f vacation plans is limited
to formal arrangements, excluding informal plans where
by time off with pay is granted at the discretion o f the
employer or the supervisor. The periods o f service for
which data are presented were selected as representative
of 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 include changes in
provisions which may have occurred between 5 and 10
H ealth ,
insurance , and retirem ent plans. Data are
presented for health, insurance, and retirement plans for
which all or a part o f 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 insur
ance 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 o f life
insurance. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to
that type o f insurance under which predetermined cash
payments are made directly to the insured on a weekly
or monthly basis during illness or accident disability.
Paid funeral and ju ry d u ty leave. Data for paid funeral
and jury duty leave are limited to formal plans which
provide at least partial payment for time lost as a result
of attending funerals o f specified family members or
serving as a juror.
1 The temporary disability insurance laws in California and
Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.
A p p e n d ix B. O ccu p atio n al D e scrip tio n s
The primary purpose of 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 classification permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job
content. Because of the 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, and
handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.

COMPUTER PROGRAMER, BUSINESS
(Digital computer programer)
Converts statements of business problems, typically
prepared by a systems analyst, into a sequence
of detailed instructions which are required to solve the
problems by automatic data processing equipment.
Working from charts or diagrams, the programer
develops the precise instructions which, when entered
into the computer system in coded language, cause the
manipulation of data to achieve desired results.
Work involves most o f the following: Applies knowledge
of computer capabilities, mathematics, logic employed
by computers, and particular subject matter involved to
analyze charts and diagrams of the problem to be
programed; develops sequence of program steps; writes
detailed flow charts to show order in which data will be
processed; converts these charts to coded instructions
for machine to follow; tests and corrects programs;
prepares instructions for operating personnel during
production run; analyzes, reviews and alters programs to
increase operating efficiency or adapt to new require
ments; maintains records of program development and

analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)
Does not include employees primarily responsible for
the management or supervision of other electronic data
processing employees, or programers primarily con
cerned with scientific and/or engineering problems.
For wage study purposes, programers are classified as
Class A —Operates independently, or under only
general direction, a computer running programs
with most of the following characteristics: New
programs are frequently tested and introduced;
scheduling requirements are of critical importance
to minimize downtime; the programs are of
complex design so that identification of error
source often requires a working knowledge of the
total program, and alternate programs may not be
available. May give direction and guidance to lower
level operators.
Class 2?—
Operates independently or under only
general direction a computer running programs
with most of the following characteristics: Most of
the programs are established production runs,

outlines actions to be performed by personnel and
computers in sufficient detail for presentation to man
agement and for programing (typically this involves
preparation of work and data flow charts); coordinates
the development of test problems and participates in
trial runs of new and revised systems; and recommends
equipment changes to obtain more effective overall
operations. (NOTE: Workers performing both systems
processing employees, or systems analysts primarily
concerned with specific or engineering problems.
For wage study purposes, systems analysts are classi
fied as follows:
At this level, programing is difficult because
computer equipment must be organized to
produce several interrelated but diverse products
from numerous and diverse data elements. A wide
variety and extensive number of internal process
ing actions must occur. This requires such actions
as development of common operations which can
be reused, establishment of linkage points between
operations, adjustments to data when program
requirements exceed computer storage capacity,
and substantial manipulation and resequencing of
data elements to form a highly integrated program.
May provide functional direction to lower level
programers who are assigned to assist.
Works independently or under only
general direction on relatively simple programs, or
on simple segments of complex programs. Pro
grams (or segments) usually process information to
produce data in two or three varied sequences of
formats. Reports and listings are produced by
refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor
additions to or delections from input data which
are readily available. While numerous records may
be processed, the data have been refined in prior
actions so that the accuracy and sequencing of
data can be tested by using a few routine checks.
Typically, the program details with routine
record-keeping type operations.
