Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual occupa­tional wage surveys in metropolitan areas is designed to provide data on occupational earnings, and establishment practices and supplemen­tary wage provisions. It yields detailed data by selected industry division for each of the areas studied, for geographic regions, and for the United States. A major consideration in the program is the need for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages by occupa­tional category and skill level, and (2) the structure and level of wages among areas and industry divisions.

At the end of each survey, an individual area bulletin pre­sents the results. After completion of all individual area bulletins for a round of surveys, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings data for each of the metropolitan areas studied into one bul­letin. The second presents information which has been projected from individual metropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and the United States.

Ninety areas currently are included in the program. In each area, information on occupational earnings is collected annually and on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions biennially.

This bulletin presents results of the survey in Cleveland, Ohio, in September 1971. The Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (form erly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, and Medina Counties. This study was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Chicago, 111., under the general direction of Lois L. O rr, Assistant Regional Director for Operations.

N o te :

Similar reports are available for other areas. (See inside back cover.)

Current reports on occupational earnings and supplemen­tary wage provisions in the Cleveland area are also available for machinery manufacturing (November 1970); nonferrous foundries (June 1970); paints and varnishes (November 1970); special dies, tools, jigs and fixtures (November 1970); and on earnings only for selected laundry and dry cleaning occupations (September 1971). Union wage rates, indicative of prevailing pay levels, are available for building construction; printing; local-transit operating employees; local truckdrivers and helpers; and grocery store employees.

1 The Cleveland Standard M etropolitan S tatistical A rea , as defined by the O ffice o f Management and Budget (fo rm e r ly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, and Medina Counties. The "w orkers within scope o f study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate descrip tion o f the s ize and com position of the labor fo rce included in the survey. The estim ates a re not intended, how ever, to serve as a basis of com parison with other em ployment indexes fo r the area to m easure em ployment trends or le ve ls since (1) planning of wage surveys requ ires the use of establishment data com piled considerab ly in advance of the payro ll period studied, and (2) sm all establishments a re excluded from the scope of the survey.

2 The 1967 edition o f the Standard Industrial C lass ifica tion Manual was used in c lass ify ing establishments by industry divis ion .3 Includes a ll establishments with total em ployment at or above the m inimum lim itation . A l l outlets (w ithin the area ) o f companies in such

industries as trade, finance, auto repa ir serv ice , and motion picture theaters a re considered as 1 establishment.4 Includes a ll w orkers in a ll establishments with total em ployment (w ithin the area) at or above the m inimum lim itation .5 Abbreviated to "public u tilitie s " in the A -s e r ie s tables. Taxicabs and serv ices incidental to water transportation w ere excluded. Loca l-

transit operations and an e le c tr ic u tility (supplying less than half the e le c tr ic ity consumed in the C leveland area ) a re m unicipally owned and a re excluded by definition from the scope o f the survey.

6 Abbreviated to "fin an ce" in the A -s e r ie s tables.7 This industry d ivis ion is represented in estim ates fo r "a l l industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation

o f data fo r this d iv is ion is not made fo r one or m ore o f the fo llow ing reasons: (1) Em ploym ent in the d iv is ion is too sm all to provide enough data to m e r it separate study, (2) the sample was not designed in itia lly to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insu fficien t or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is p oss ib ility of d isc losu re o f individual establishm ent data.

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 "vice 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 officers" for purposes of applying the following level definitions.

Class A

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

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.
