1 The Newark-Jersey City Area (Essex, Hudson, *and Union
Counties). The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in
this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size
and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The
estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of
comparison with other area employment indexes to measure employment
trends or levels since (l) planning of wage surveys requires the
use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the
pay period studied and (2) small establishments are excluded from
the scope of survey.
2 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above
the minimum size limitation. All outlets (within the area) of
companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair
service, and motion-picture theaters are considered as 1
establishment.
3 Includes executive, technical, professional and other workers
excluded from the separate office and plant categories.4 Also
excludes taxicabs, and services incidental to water
transportation.5 Estimate relates to real estate establishments
only.6 Hotels; personal services; business services; automobile
repair shops; radio broadcasting and television; motion picture;
nonprofit membership organizations; and
engineering and architectural services.7 This industry division
is represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and
"nonmanufacturing" in the Series A and B tables, although coverage
was insufficient to
justify separate presentation of data.Digitized for FRASER

F o r o ff ic e c le r ic a l w o rk e rs , the indexes relate

that is , the standard w ork schedule fo r w hich s tra igh t-tim e

in the o ff ice c le r ic a l index; 10 sk illed m aintenance jo b

A verage w eekly sa la r ie s or average hourly earnings w ere

. These weighted earnings fo r individual occu pation s w ere than
added to obtain an aggregate fo r each occu pation a l group . F in
a lly , the ratio o f these group aggregates fo r a g iven year to
the aggregate fo r the base p eriod (survey month, w inter 1952-53)
was com puted and the resu lt m ultiplied by the base year index
(100) to get the index fo r the given y ea r.
The indexes m easu re p r in cip a lly the e ffe c ts o f ( l )
general sa lary and wage changes; (2) m erit o r other in cre a se

fo r c e expansion might in crea se the p rop ortion o f low er
paid w ork ers in a sp ec ific o c cu pation and resu lt in a drop
in the index, w hereas a reduction in the p rop ortion o f low er
paid w ork ers w ould have the opposite e ffe ct. The indexes a re
a lso a ffected by shifts in the p rop ortion o f w ork ers em
ployed by establishm ents with d ifferen t pay le v e ls . F or
exam ple, the m ovem ent o f a h igh -paying establishm ent out o f
an area could cause the index to drop , even though no change in ra

The use o f constant em ploym ent w eights e lim inates the e
