This paper presents a technique for quantifying the effects of nonpecuniary conditions of employment of a labor force. A survey method is employed that obtains quantitative evaluations of nonpecuniary benefits in two different dimensions--money and time. The technique is applied in a field study of a group of factory workers in which ten separate nonpecuniary items are studied. The results are reported and compared by race, sex, and age.
