* Data not available.* * Data do not meet publication criteria.

NOTE: The percent increases presented in this table are based on changes in averagehourly earnings for establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous year (matched establishments). They are not affected by changes in average earnings resulting from employment shifts among establishments or turnover of establishments included in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by factors other than wage increases. Hirings, layoffs, and turnover may affect an establishment average for an occupation when workers are paid under plans providing a range of wage rates for individual jobs. In periods of increased hiring, for example, new employees enter at the bottom of the'range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates.

These wage trends are not linked to the wage indexes previously published for this area because the wage indexes measured changes in area averages whereas these wage trends measure changes in matched establishment averages. Other characteristics of these wage trends which differ from the discontinued indexes include (1) earnings data of office clerical workers and industrial nurses are converted to an hourly basis, (2) trend estimates are provided for nonmanufacturing establishments where possible, and (3) trend estimates are provided for electronic data processing jobs.

For a more detailed description of the method used to compute these wage trends, see "Improving A rea Wage Survey Indexes," Monthly Labor Review, January 1973, pp. 52-57.

Appendix A

Area wage and related benefits data are obtained by personal visits of Bureau field represent­atives at 3 -year intervals. 1 2 In each of the intervening years, information on employment andoccupational earnings is collected by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.

In each of the 82 2 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained from representative estab­lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. M ajor industry groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer them a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The sampling procedures involve detailed stratification of all establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of employees. From this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment having a predetermined chance of selection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than sm all establishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment is weighted according to its probability of selection, so that unbiased estimates are generated. For example, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a weight of four to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classification if data are not available for the original sample member. If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample member that is sim ilar to the missing unit.

Occupations and EarningsOccupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing

industries, and are of the following types: (1) Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3)maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material movement. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. Occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B. Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles are for all industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described, or for some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in the A -se r ie s tables, because either (1) employment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Separate men's and women's earnings data are not presented when the number of workers not identified by sex is 20 percent or more of the men or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in all industries combined data, where shown. Likew ise, data are included in the overall classification when a sub­classification of electronics technicians, secretaries, or truckdrivers is not shown or information to subclassify is not available.

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time workers, i.e., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly hours for office c lerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest half dollar.

These surveys m easure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular time. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over time may not reflect expected wage changes. The averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. For example, proportions of workers employed by high- or low-wage firm s may change, or high-wage

1 Personal visits were on a 2 -y ear c y c le before July 1972.2 Included in the 82 areas are 12 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Akron, Ohio; Austin, Tex. ; Binghamton,

N. Y . —Pa. ; Birmingham , Ala. ; Fort Lauderdale—Hollywood and West Palm Beach—Boca Raton, Fla. ; Lexington—Fay ette, Ky. ; Melbourne—T itu s v ille - C ocoa, Fla. ; Norfolk—V irginia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, Va. —N. C. ; Poughkeepsie—Kingston—Newburgh, N .Y . ; Raleigh— Durham, N. C. ; Syracuse, N .Y . ; and W estchester County, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in approximately 70 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Adm inistration of the U. S. Department of Labor.

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 most establishments in an area increase wages during the year. Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A-7, are better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups.

Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments.

Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupations should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. Factors which may contribute to differences include progression within established rate ranges, since only the rates paid incumbents are collected, and performance of specific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job descriptions used to classify employees in these surveys usually are more generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in specific duties performed.

Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establish­ments differ, estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not affect m aterially the accuracy of the earnings data.Wage trends for selected occupational groups

The percents of change in table A -7 relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of increase, where shown, reflect the amount of increase for 12 months when the time span between surveys was other than 12 months. Annual rates are based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant rate between surveys.

Occupations used to compute wage trends are:

Office c lerical (men and women):

Bookkeeping-machine operators, class B

C lerks, accounting, classes A and B C lerks, file, classes A, B, and C Clerks, order Clerks, payrollKeypunch operators, classes A and BMes sengersSecretariesStenographers, generalStenographers, senior Tabulating-machine operators ,

class BTypists, classes A and B

Electronic data processing (men and women):

Industrial nurses (men and women):

Computer operators, classes A , B, and C Computer program m ers, classes A, B,

and C

Unskilled plant (m en):

Janitors, porters, and cleaners Laborers, m aterial handling

Percent changes for individual areas in the program are computed as follows:

1. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment in the selected group of occupations in the base year.

2. These weights are used to compute group averages. Each occupation's average (mean) earnings is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to obtain a group average.

3. The ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the average for the current year by the average for the earlier year. The results— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change.

Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions

The B -se r ie s tables provide information on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions for full-tim e plant and office workers, ’’Plant w orkers" include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Cafeteria workers and routemen are excluded from manufacturing, but included in nonmanufacturing industries. "Office w orkers" include working supervisors and nonsupervisory workers performing clerical or related functions. Administrative, executive, professional, and part-tim e employees are excluded. Part-tim e employees are those hired to work a schedule calling regularly for fewer weekly hours them the establishment's schedule for full-tim e employees in the same general type of work. The determination is based on the em ployer's distinction between the two groups which may take into account not only differences in work schedules but differences in pay and benefits.

Minimum entrance salaries for office workers relate only to the establishments visited. (See table B - l . ) Because of the optimum sampling techniques used and the probability that large establishments are more likely them small establishments to have form al entrance rates above the subclerical level, the table is more representative of policies in medium and large establishments.

Shift differential data are limited to full-tim e plant workers in manufacturing industries. (See table B - 2.) This information is presented in term s of (1) establishment policy 3 for total plant worker employment, and (2) effective practice for workers employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a majority is used. In establishments having some late-shift hours paid at normal rates, a differential is recorded only if it applies to a majority of the shift hours. A second (evening) shift ends work at or near midnight, A third (night) shift starts work at or near midnight.

The scheduled weekly hours and days of a majority of the first-sh ift workers in an establish­ment are tabulated as applying to all full-tim e plant or office workers of that establishment. (See table B -3 .) Scheduled weekly hours and days are those which a majority of full-tim e employees are expected to work for straight-time or overtime rates.

Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated statistically as applying to all full-time plant or office workers if a majority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the practices listed. (See tables B -4 through B -6 .) Sums of individual items in tables B -2 through B -5 may not equal totals because of rounding.

Data on paid holidays are limited to holidays granted annually on a formal basis, which (1)are provided for in written form , or (2) are established by custom. (See table B -4 .) Holidaysordinarily granted are included even though they may fa ll on a nonworkday and the worker is not granted another day off. The first part of the paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays actually granted. The second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday time. Table B -4a reports the incidence of the most common paid holidays.

3 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it m et either of the following conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the tim e of thesurvey, or (2) had form al provisions covering la te shifts. An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1 ) had operated lateshifts during the 12 months before the survey, or (2) had provisions in w ritten form to operate la te shifts.

The summary of vacation plans is a statistical m easure of vacation provisions rather than a measure of the proportion of full-time workers actually receiving specific benefits. (See table B -5 .) Provisions apply to all plant or office workers in an establishment regard less of length of service. Payments on other than a time basis are converted to a time period; for example, 2 percent of annual earnings are considered equivalent to 1 week 's pay. Only basic plans are included. Estimates exclude vacation bonuses, vacation-savings plans, and "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans. Such provisions are typical in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.

Health, insurance, and pension plans for which the employer pays at least a part of the cost include those (1) underwritten by a com m ercial insurance company or nonprofit organization, (2) provided through a union fund, or (3) paid directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside for this purpose. (See table B -6 .) An establishment is considered to have such a plan if the majority of employees are covered even though less than a m ajority participate under the plan because employees are required to contribute toward the cost. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workmen's compensation, social security, and railroad retirement.

Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of insurance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly to the insured during tem porary illness or accident disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes. However, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted tem porary disability insurance laws requiring employer contributions,4 plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are limited to formed, p lan s5 which provide full pay or a proportion of the w orker's pay during absence from work because of illness. Separate tabulations are presented according to (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans which provide either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presentation of proportions of workers provided sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown of workers who receive either or both types of benefits.

Long ferm disability insurance plans provide payments to totally disabled employees upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sickness and accident insurance, or after a predetermined period of disability (typically 6 months). Payments are made until the end of the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Full or partial payments are almost always reduced by social security, workmen's compensation, and private pensions benefits payable to the disabled employee.

M ajor medical insurance plans protect employees from sickness and injury expenses beyond the coverage of basic hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. Typical features of major medical plans are (1) a "deductible" (e.g., $50) paid by the insured before benefits begin; (2) a coinsurance feature requiring the insured to pay a portion (e.g., 20 percent) of certain expenses; and (3) stated dollar maximum benefits (e.g., $ 10,000 a year). M edical insurance provides complete or partial payment of doctors' fees. Dental insurance usually covers fillings, extractions, and X -rays . Excluded are plans which cover only oral surgery or accident damage. Retirement pension plans provide payments for the remainder of the w orker's life.

The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.® An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the m inimum number of days sick leave available to each

em ployee. Such a plan need not be written; but informal sick leave allow ances, determ ined on an individual basis, are excluded.

1 The Atlanta Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget through February 1974, consists of Butts, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, |DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton, Paulding, Rockdale, and Walton 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. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other employment indexes to m easure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires 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 to classify 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 industries such as trade, finance, auto repair service,

and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.4 Includes executive, professional, part-time, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A - and B -se ries tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. Atlanta's transit system is municipally operated

and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study.6 Abbreviated to "finance" in the A - and B -se ries tables.7 Estimate relates to real estate establishments only. Workers from the entire industry division are represented in the A -se r ie s tables, but from the real estate portion only in "a ll

industry" estimates in the B -se r ie s tables.8 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.

NOTE: Since the last survey in the Atlanta area the Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea has been expanded to include Butts, Cherokee, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Henry, Newton, Paulding, Rockdale and Walton Counties. The additional geography accounts for 5 percent of the workers within scope of the study. Almost nine-tenths of the additional workers were in manufacturing establishments.

Occupational earnings information in Tables A - 1 through A -6 relates to the expanded SMSA but wage trend information in Table A -7 relates to the geographical scope used in the May 1974 survey. Next year all data w ill relate to the enlarged SMSA.

Industrial composition in manufacturingAlmost one-third of the workers within scope of the study in the Atlanta area were

employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the major industry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

Industry groups Specific industries

Transportation equipment _____ 20 Motor vehicles andFood and kindred products______13 equipment_______________________11Apparel and other textile A ircraft and parts______________ 9

products__________________________ 9 Weaving m ills, cotton___________ 5Textile mill products__________ 8Paper and allied products_____ 6Printing and publishing________ 6Chemicals and allied products __ 5 Electrical equipment andsupplies______________________ 5

Primary metal industries_____ 5

This information is based on estimates of total employment derived from universe materials compiled before actual survey. Proportions in various industry divisions m a y differ from proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in the appendix table.

Labor-management agreement coverage

The following tabulation shows the percent of fu ll-tim e plant and office workers employed in establishments in which a union contract or contracts covered a majority of the workers in the respective categories, Atlanta, Ga., May 1975:

Plant workers Office workersA ll industries 4*5 12Manufacturing _____ 68 26Public utilities 6h 4SIWholesale trade________________ 35Retail t r a d e ............... _________ 16 1F inance *Services . .... _________ 21 *

An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all plant or office workers if a majority of such workers are covered by a labor-management agreement. Therefore, all other plant or office workers are employed in establishments that either do not have labor-management contracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer than half of their plant or office workers. Estimates are not necessarily representative of the extent to which all workers in the area may be covered by the provisions of labor- management agreements, because small establishments are excluded and the industrial scope of the survey is limited.

* Less than 0.5 percent.

Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions

The prim ary 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-tim e, tem porary, and probationary workers.
