P reface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual occupa­tional wage surveys in m etropolitan areas is designed to provide data on occupational earnings, and establishment practices and supplemen­ta ry wage provisions. It y ie lds detailed data by selected industry d ivis ion fo r each of the areas studied, fo r geographic regions, and fo r the United States. A m ajor consideration in the program is the need fo r g rea te r insight into ( l ) the m ovem ent of wages by occupa­tional ca tegory and sk ill le ve l, and (2) the structure and le ve l of wages among areas and industry d ivisions.

A t the end of each survey, an individual area bulletin p re­sents the resu lts. A fte r com pletion of a ll individual area bulletins fo r a round of surveys, two summary bulletins are issued. The f ir s t brings data fo r each of the m etropolitan areas studied into one bulletin. The second presents in form ation which has been projected from individual m etropolitan area data to re la te to geographic regions and the United States.

N inety areas currently a re included in the program . In each area , in form ation on occupational earnings is co llected annually and on establishm ent p ractices and supplementary wage provisions biennially.

This bulletin presents results of the survey in Baltim ore, Md., in August 1971. The Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea , as defined by the O ffice of Management and Budget (fo rm er ly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of the c ity of Baltim ore and the counties of Anne Arundel, Baltim ore, C a rro ll, Harford, and Howard. This study was conducted by the Bureau's regional o ffice in Philadelphia, Pa ., under the genera l d irection of Irw in L. Feigenbaum, Assistant Regional D irector fo r Operations.

Note:

Sim ilar reports are availab le fo r other areas. (See inside back cover.)

Current reports on occupational earnings and supplemen­tary wage provisions in the Baltim ore area are a lso availab le for m achinery (N ovem ber 1970), and paints and varnishes (Novem ber 1970); and on earnings only fo r selected laundry and dry cleaning occupations (August 1971).

Introduction

This area is 1 of 90 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys o f occupational earnings and related benefits on an areawide bas is .1

This bulletin presents current occupational employment and earnings inform ation obtained la rge ly by m ail from the establishments v is ited by Bureau fie ld economists in the last previous survey for occupations reported in that e a r lie r study. Person a l v is its w ere made to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes since the previous survey.

In each area, data are obtained from representative estab­lishments within six broad industry d ivisions: Manufacturing; trans­portation, communication, and other public u tilities ; wholesale trade; re ta il trade; finance, insurance, and rea l estate; and serv ices . M ajor industry groups excluded from these studies are government opera­tions and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having few er than a p rescribed number of w orkers are om itted because they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided fo r each of the broad industry divisions which m eet publication crite r ia .

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying a ll establishments. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a grea ter proportion of la rge than of sm all establishments is studied. In combining the data, however, a ll establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s ­tim ates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as relating to a ll establishments in the industry grouping and area, except fo r those below the minimum size studied.

Occupations and Earnings

The occupations selected fo r study are common to a va rie ty o f manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the follow ing types: ( l ) O ffice c le r ica l; (2) pro fessional and technical;(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m ateria l m ove­ment. Occupational c lassifica tion is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishm ent variation in duties within the same job. The occupations selected fo r study are listed and described in the appendix. Unless otherw ise indicated, the earnings data follow ing the job titles are fo r a ll industries com ­bined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described, or fo r some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in

1 Included in the 90 areas are four studies conducted under contract with the New York State Department of Labor. These areas are Binghamton (New York portion only) Rochester (office occupa­tions only); Syracuse; and Utica-Rom e. In addition, the Bureau conducts more liipited area studies in 65 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U .S. Department of Labor.

the A -s e r ie s tables, because either ( l ) employment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is possib ility of d isclosure of individual establishment data. Earnings data not shown separately fo r industry divisions are included in the overa ll c lassifica tion when a subclassification of secretaries or truck- d rivers is not shown or in form ation to subclassify is not available.

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w orkers , i.e ., those h ired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude prem ium pay fo r overtim e and fo r work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are ex ­cluded, but cos t-o f- liv in g allowances and incentive earnings are in­cluded. W here w eekly hours are reported, as fo r o ffice c le r ica l occupations, re ference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) fo r which em ployees rece ive their regular straight- tim e sa laries (exclusive of pay fo r overtim e at regular and/or p re ­mium rates). A verage w eekly earnings fo r these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar.

These surveys measure the le v e l of occupational earnings in an area at a particu lar tim e. Com parisons of individual occupational averages over tim e may not re fle c t expected wage changes. The averages fo r individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. F o r example, proportions of workers employed by high- or low -wage firm s m ay change or high-wage workers may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new workers at lower rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an occupational average even though m ost establishments in an area increase wages during the year. Trends in earnings o f occupational groups, shown in table 2, are better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups.

The averages presented re flec t com posite, areawide es ti­m ates. Industries and establishments d iffe r in pay leve l and job staffing and, thus, contribute d ifferen tly to the estim ates fo r each job. The pay relationship obtainable from the averages may fa il to re flec t accurately the wage spread or d ifferen tia l maintained among jobs in individual establishments. S im ila rly , d ifferences in average pay levels fo r men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be assumed to re fle c t d ifferences in pay treatm ent o f the sexes within individual establishments. Other possib le factors which may con­tribute to d ifferences in pay fo r men and women include: D ifferencesin p rogression within established rate ranges, since only the actual rates paid incumbents are collected ; and d ifferences in specific duties perform ed, although the w orkers are c lass ified appropriately within the same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classify ing

em ployees in these surveys are usually m ore genera lized than those used in individual establishments and allow fo r m inor d ifferences among establishm ents in the specific duties perform ed.

Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in a ll establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actu­a lly surveyed. Because of d ifferences in occupational structure among establishm ents, the estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample o f establishments studied serve only to indicate the re la tive im portance of the jobs studied. These d ifferences in occupational structure do not a ffect m ateria lly the accuracy of the earnings data.

Establishment P ra c tices and Supplementary Wage Prov is ions

Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supple­m entary wage provisions (B -s e r ie s tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Inform ation fo r these tabulations is co llected biennially. These tabulations on minimum entrance sa laries fo r inexperienced women o fficew orkers ; shift d ifferen tia ls ; scheduled w eekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the B -se r ie s tables) in previous bulletins fo r this area.

1 The Baltimore Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, consists of the city of Baltimore and the counties of Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, and Howard.. 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 employment indexes for the area to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.

2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in such

industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation,5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A -series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. Local transit

operations in Baltimore are governmentally owned and operated and excluded by definition from the scope of the study.6 Abbreviated to "finance" in the A -series table.7 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit

membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.

W ag e T ren d s for S e le c te d O ccupational G roups

Presen ted in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change in average sa laries of o ffice c le r ica l w orkers and industrial nurses, and in average earnings of selected plantworker groups. The indexes are a m easure o f wages at a given tim e, expressed as a percent of wages during the base period. Subtracting 100 from the index yields the percentage change in wages from the base period to the date of the index. The percentages of change or increase relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of increase, where shown, re fle c t the amount of increase fo r 12 months when the time period between surveys was other than 12 months. These computations w ere based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant rate between surveys. These estim ates are m easures of change in a v e r ­ages fo r the area; they are not intended to measure average pay changes in the establishments in the area.

Method of Computing

Each o f the follow ing key occupations within an occupational group was assigned a constant weight based on its proportionate em ­ployment in the occupational group:

Office clerical (men and women): Office clerical (men and women)— Skilled maintenance (men):Bookkeeping-machine Continued

SecretariesStenographers, general

CarpentersElectriciansoperators, class B

Clerks, accounting, classes A and B

Clerks, file, classes A , B, and C

Clerks, order Clerks, payroll Comptometer operators Keypunch operators, classes

A and BOffice boys and girls

Stenographers, senior Switchboard operators, classes

A and BTabulating-machine operators,

class BTypists, classes A and B

Industrial nurses (men and women): Nurses, industrial (registered)

MachinistsMechanicsMechanics (automotive)PaintersPipefittersTool and die makers

Unskilled plant (men):Janitors, porters, and cleaners Laborers, material handling

The average (mean) earnings fo r each occupation w ere m u lti­p lied by the occupational weight, and the products fo r a ll occupations in the group w ere totaled. The aggregates fo r 2 consecutive years w ere related by dividing the aggregate fo r the later year by the a gg re ­gate fo r the e a r lie r year. The resultant re la tive , less 100 percent,

shows the percentage change. The index is the product of multiplying the base year re la tive (100) by the re la tive fo r the next succeeding year and continuing to m ultiply (compound) each yea r 's re la tive by the previous yea r 's index.

F o r o ffice c le r ica l w orkers and industrial nurses, the wage trends relate to regu lar w eekly sa laries fo r the norm al workweek, exclusive of earnings for overtim e. F o r plantworker groups, they m easure changes in average stra ight-tim e hourly earnings, excluding prem ium pay fo r overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The percentages are based on data fo r selected key occu­pations and include m ost of the num erically important jobs within each group.

Lim itations o f Data

The indexes and percentages of change, as m easures of change in area averages, are influenced by: (1) genera l sa lary andwage changes, (2) m erit or other increases in pay rece ived by ind i­vidual w orkers while in the same job, and (3) changes in average wages due to changes in the labor fo rce resulting from labor turn­over, fo rce expansions, fo rce reductions, and changes in the p rop or­tions of w orkers employed by establishments with d ifferen t pay leve ls . Changes in the labor fo rce can cause increases or decreases in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable that even though a ll establishments in an area gave wage increases, average wages may have declined because low er-paying establishments entered the area or expanded their work fo rces . S im ilarly , wages may have remained re la tiv e ly constant, yet the averages for an area may have risen considerably because h igher-paying establishments entered the area.

The use of constant employment weights elim inates the effect of changes in the proportion of w orkers represented in each job in­cluded in the data. The percentages of change re flec t only changes in average pay fo r stra ight-tim e hours. They are not influenced by changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by prem ium pay fo r overtim e. W here necessary, data w ere adjusted to rem ove from the indexes and percentages of- change any significant effect caused by changes in the scope of the survey.

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 permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this 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 economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.

SECRETARY— Continued

NOTE: The term "corporate officer, " used in the level definitions following, refers to those officials who have a significant corporate-wide policymaking role with regard to major company activities. The title "v ice president," though normally indicative of this role, does not in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose primary responsibility is to act per­sonally on individual cases or transactions (e.g., approve or deny individual loan or credit actions; administer individual trust accounts; directly supervise a clerical staff) are not considered to be "corporate o fficers" for purposes of applying the following level definitions.

Class A

1. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5,000 persons; or

2. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than the chairman of the board or president) of a company that employs, in all, over 5, 000 but fewer than 25, 000 persons; or

preter, sorter, reproducing punch, etc. Excluded from this definition are working supervisors. Also excluded are operators of electronic digital computers, even though they may also operate EAM equipment.

P R O F E S S IO N A L

COMPUTER OPERATOR

Monitors and operates the control console of a digital computer to process data according to operating instructions, usually prepared by a programer. Work includes most of the following: Studies instructions to determine equipment setup and operations; loads equipment with required items (tape! reels, cards, etc.); switches necessary auxiliary equipment into circuit, and starts and operates! computer; makes adjustments to computer to correct operating problems and meet special conditions; reviews errors made during operation and determines cause or refers problem to supervisor or programer; and maintains operating records. May test and assist in correcting program.

For wage study purposes, computer operators are classified as follows:

Class A . Operates independently, or under only general direction, a computer running programs with most of the following characteristics: New programs are frequently testedand 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 B. 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, typically run on a regularly recurring basis; there is little or no testing

Class A . Perform s complete reporting and tabulating assignments including devising difficult control panel wiring under general supervision. Assignments typically involve a variety of long and complex reports which often are irregular or nonrecurring, requiring some planning of the nature and sequencing of operations, and the use of a variety of ma­chines. Is typically involved in training new operators in machine operations or training lower level operators in wiring from diagrams and in the operating sequences of long and complex reports. Does not include positions in which wiring responsibility is lim ited to selection and insertion of prewired boards.

Class B. Performs work according to established procedures and under specific in­structions. Assignments typically involve complete but routine and recurring reports or parts of larger and more complex reports. Operates more difficult tabulating or electrical ac­counting machines such as the tabulator and calculator, in addition to the simpler machines used by class C operators. May be required to do some wiring from diagrams. May train new employees in basic machine operations.

Class C. Under specific instructions, operates simple tabulating or electrical accounting machines such as the sorter, interpreter, reproducing punch, collator, etc. Assignments typically involve portions of a work unit, for example, individual sorting or collating runs, or repetitive operations. May perform simple wiring from diagrams, and do some filing work.

TRANSCRIBING-MACHINE OPERATOR, GENERAL

Prim ary duty is to transcribe dictation involving a normal routine vocabulary from transcribing-machine records. May also type from written copy and do simple clerical work. Workers transcribing dictation involving a varied technical or specialized vocabulary such as legal briefs or reports on scientific research are not included. A worker who takes dictation in shorthand or by Stenotype or similar machine is classified as a stenographer.

TYPIST

Uses a typewriter to make copies of various materials or to make out bills after calcula­tions have been made by another person. May include typing of stencils, mats, or similar mate­rials for use in duplicating processes. May do clerical work involving little special training, such as keeping simple records, filing records and reports, or sorting and distributing incoming mail.

COMPUTER PROGRAMER, BUSINESS— Continued

of data to achieve desired results. Work involves most of the following: Applies knowledge ofcomputer 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 w ill 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 requirements; maintains records of program development and revisions. (NOTE: Workers performing both systems analysis and pro­graming should be classified as systems analysts i f this is the skill used to determine their pay.)

Does not include employees prim arily responsible for the management or supervision of other electronic data processing employees, or programers primarily concerned with scientific and/or engineering problems.

For wage study purposes, programers are classified as follows:Class A . Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems which

require competence in all phases of programing concepts and practices. Working from dia­grams and charts which identify the nature of desired results, major processing steps to be accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the problem solving routine; plans the full range of programing actions needed to efficiently utilize the computer system in achieving desired end products.

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 processing 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.Class B. Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple

programs, or on simple segments of complex programs. Programs (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or formats. Reports and listings are produced by refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor additions to or deletions 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 deals with routine record-keeping type operations.

ORWorks on complex programs (as described for class A) under close direction of a higher

level programer or supervisor. May assist higher level programer by independently per­forming less difficult tasks assigned, and performing more difficult tasks under fa irly close direction.

May guide or instruct lower level programers.Class C . Makes practical applications of programing practices and concepts usually

learned in formal training courses. Assignments are designed to develop competence in the application of standard procedures to routine problems. Receives close supervision on new aspects of assignments; and work is reviewed to verify its accuracy and conformance with required procedures.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANALYST, BUSINESSAnalyzes business problems to formulate procedures for solving them by use of electronic

data processing equipment. Develops a complete description of all specifications needed to enable programers to prepare required digital computer programs. Work involves most of the following: Analyzes subject-matter operations to be automated and identifies conditions and criteria required to achieve satisfactory results; specifies number and types of records, files, and documents to be used; outlines actions to be performed by personnel and computers in sufficient detail for presentation to management and for programing (typically this involves preparation of work and data flow charts); coordinates the development of test problems and participates in tria l runs of new and revised systems; and recommends equipment changes to obtain more effective overall operations. (NOTE: Workers performing both systems analysis and programing should be clas­sified as systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)

Does not include employees prim arily responsible for the management or supervision of other electronic data processing employees, or systems analysts prim arily concerned with scientific or engineering problems.

For wage study purposes, systems analysts are classified as follows:

Class A . Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems in­volving all phases of systems analysis. Problems are complex because of diverse sources of input data and multiple-use requirements of output data. (For example, develops an integrated production scheduling, inventory control, cost analysis, and sales analysis record in which

COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANALYST, BUSINESS— Continued

every item of each type is automatically processed through the full system of records and appropriate followup actions are initiated by the computer.) Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises subject-matter personnel on the implica­tions of new or revised systems of data processing operations. Makes recommendations, i f needed, for approval of major systems installations or changes and for obtaining equipment.

May provide functional direction to lower level systems analysts who are assigned to assist.

Class B. Works independently or under only general direction on problems that are relatively uncomplicated to analyze, plan, program, and operate. Problems are of limited complexity because sources of input data are homogeneous and the output data are closely related. (For example, develops systems for maintaining depositor accounts in a bank, maintaining accounts receivable in a retail establishment, or maintaining inventory accounts in a manufacturing or wholesale establishment.) Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises subject-matter personnel on the implications of the data processing systems to be applied.

ORWorks on a segment of a complex data processing scheme or system, as described for

class A. Works independently on routine assignments and receives instruction and guidance on complex assignments. Work is reviewed for accuracy of judgment, compliance with in­structions, and to insure proper alinement with the overall system.

Class C. Works under immediate supervision, carrying out analyses as assigned, usually of a single activity. Assignments are designed to develop and expand practical experience in the application of procedures and skills required for systems analysis work. For example, may assist a higher level systems analyst by preparing the detailed specifications required by programers from information developed by the higher level analyst.

DRAFTSMANClass A . Plans the graphic presentation of complex items having distinctive design

features that differ significantly from established drafting precedents. Works in close sup­port with the design originator, and may recommend minor design changes. Analyzes the effect of each change on the details of form, function, and positional relationships of com­ponents and parts. Works with a minimum of supervisory assistance. Completed work is reviewed by design originator for consistency with prior engineering determinations. May either prepare drawings, or direct their preparation by lower level draftsmen.

Class B. Perform s nonroutine and complex drafting assignments that require the appli­cation of most of the standardized drawing techniques regularly used. Duties typically in­volve such work as: Prepares working drawings of subassemblies with irregular shapes,multiple functions, and precise positional relationships between components; prepares archi­tectural drawings for construction of a building including detail drawings of foundations, wall sections, floor plans, and roof. Uses accepted formulas and manuals in making necessary computations to determine quantities of materials to be used, load capacities, strengths, stresses, etc. Receives initial instructions, requirements, and advice from supervisor. Completed work is checked for technical adequacy.

Class C . Prepares detail drawings of single units or parts for engineering, construction, manufacturing, or repair purposes. Types of drawings prepared include isometric projections (depicting three dimensions in accurate scale) and sectional views to clarify positioning of components and convey needed information. Consolidates details from a number of sources and adjusts or transposes scale as required. Suggested methods of approach, applicable precedents, and advice on source materials are given with initial assignments. Instructions are less complete when assignments recur. Work may be spot-checked during progress.

DRAFTSMAN-TRACER

Copies plans and drawings prepared by others by placing tracing cloth or paper over drawings and tracing with pen or pencil. (Does not include tracing limited to plans primarily consisting of straight lines and a large scale not requiring close delineation.)

AND/OR
