IntroductionThis area is 1 of 84 in which the U.S.

Department of L ab or 's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and r e lated benefits. In this area, data w ere obtained by a combination of person a l visit , mail questionnaire, and telephone interview. Representative estab lish ments within six broad industry d ivisions w ere con tacted: Manufacturing; transportation, c om m u n ica tion, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and s e rv ice s . M ajor industry groups excluded f r o m these studies are governm ent operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establish ments having few er than a p re sc r ib e d number of w o rk e rs are omitted because of insufficient em p loy ment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided fo r each of the broad industry div is ions which meet publication criteria.

Footnotes1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond

to these weekly hours.2 The me an is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of workers. The median designates position— half of the employees surveyed receive more

and half receive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than the higher rate.3 Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was provided by the establishment.4 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.


Appendix AA rea wage and related benefits data are obtained by p erson a l v isits

o f Bureau field representatives at 3 -year in terva ls . 1 In each o f the in ter vening y ears , in formation on employm ent and occupational earnings is c o l lected by a combination o f personal v isit , m a il questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishm ents participating in the previous survey.

In each o f the 84 * 1 2 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained from representative establishm ents within six broad industry d iv is ions : Manufacturing; transportation, com m unication , and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and rea l estate; and s e r v ice s . M ajor industry groups excluded fro m these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries . Establishments having few er than a p re sc r ib e d number o f w ork ers are omitted because of insufficient em p loy ment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided fo r each o f the broad industry d ivisions which m eet publication c r ite r ia .

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis . The sampling proced u res involve detailed stratification of all establishm ents within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number o f em p loyees . F rom this stratified universe a probability sample is selected , with each establishment having a predeterm ined chance of select ion . To obtain optimum a ccu racy at minim um cost , a greater proportion o f large than sm all establishments is se lected . When data are com bined , each establishment is weighted accord ing to its probability of select ion , so that unbiased estim ates are generated. F o r exam ple , i f one out o f four establishments is selected , it is given a weight of four to represent it se l f plus three others. An alternate of the same or ig ina l probability is chosen in the same in du stry -s ize c l a s s i fication if data are not available from the or ig inal sample m em b e r . If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample m e m b e r that is s im ilar to the m issing unit.Occupations and earnings

Occupations selected for study are com m on to a variety of m anufacturing and nonmanufacturing industr ies , and are of the following types: (1) Office c le r i ca l ; (2) pro fess ion a l and technical ; (3) maintenance, to o lroom , and powerplant; and (4) m ater ia l m ovem ent and custodial. Occupational c lass if ica tion is based on a uniform set o f job descr ip tions designed to take account o f in terestablishment variation in duties within the same job . O ccu pations se lected for study are listed and d escr ibed in appendix B. Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles are for all industries com bined. Earnings data for som e of the occupations listed and

1 Personal visits were on a 2-year cycle before July 1972.2 Included in the 84 areas are 14 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are

Akron, Ohio; Austin, T ex.; Binghamton, N .Y. — Pa.; Birmingham, A la .; Fort Lauderdale—Hollywood and West Palm Beach—Boca Raton, Fla.; Lexington—Fayette, K y .; Melbourne—Titusville—Cocoa, Fla.; Norfolk—Virginia Beach-Portsmouth and Newport News-Hampton, V a .-N . C . ; Poughkeepsie-Kingston—Newburgh, N. Y . ; Raleigh- Durham, N. C . ; Stamford, Conn.; Syracuse, N .Y .; Utica—Rome, N .Y .; and Westchester County, N.Y. In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in approximately 70 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department o f Labor.

d e scr ib e d , o r for som e industry div is ions within the scope of the survey, are not presented in the A - s e r i e s tables , because either (1) employment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m er it presentation, or (2) there is possib il ity o f d is c lo su re o f individual establishment data. Separate m e n 's and w om en 's earnings data are not presented when the number o f w o rk e rs not identified by sex is 20 percent or m ore of the men or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in data fo r all industries combined. L ikew ise, data are included in the o v e ra l l c lass if ica tion when a subclassification of e le c tro n ics technic ians, s e c r e ta r ie s , or tru ck d r ivers is not shown or in fo r mation to subc lass ify is not available.

Occupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown for fu ll -t im e w o rk e r s , i . e . , those hired to w ork a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude prem ium pay for overt im e and fo r work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t -o f - l iv in g allowances and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly hours for o ffice c l e r i c a l and p ro fess ion a l and technical occupations re fe r to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which em p loyees rece ive regular stra ight-tim e sa laries (exclusive o f pay fo r overt im e at regular an d /or prem ium rates). A verage weekly earnings fo r these occupations are rounded to the nearest half do llar .

These surveys m easu re the leve l o f occupational earnings in an area at a particular t im e. C om parisons o f individual occupational averages over time may not re f le c t expected wage changes. The averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employm ent patterns. F or example, proport ions o f w ork ers employed by high- or low -w age f irm s may change, or high-wage w o rk e rs may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new w ork ers at low er rates. Such shifts in em ploym ent could d ecrease an o c c u pational average even though m os t establishm ents in an area in crease wages during the year . Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A - 7 , are better indicators of wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups.

A verage earnings re f le ct com p os ite , areawide est im ates . Industries and establishm ents d iffer in pay leve l and job staffing, and thus contribute d ifferently to the est im ates fo r each job . Pay averages m ay fail to re f lect accurate ly the wage d ifferentia l among job s in individual establishments.

A verage pay leve ls for men and women in se lected occupations should not be assum ed to re f le c t d if fe ren ces in pay of the sexes within individual establishm ents. F a c to rs which may contribute to d i f ferences include p r o g re ss io n within established rate ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are co llected ) and p e r form an ce o f specif ic duties within the general survey job descr ip t ions . Job d escr ip tions used to c la s s i fy em p loyees in these surveys usually are m o re genera lized than those used in individual establishments and allow for m inor d i f fe ren ces among establishm ents in specific duties per form ed .


O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates represen t the total in a ll estab lishm ents within the scope o f the study and not the num ber actually surveyed. B ecause occu pation al stru ctu res am ong establishm ents d iffe r , estim ates o f occu pation al em ploym ent obtained from the sam ple o f establishm ents studied serve only to indicate the re la tive im portan ce o f the jo b s studied. These d iffe ren ces in occu pation al structure do not a ffect m a teria lly the a ccu ra cy o f the earn ings data.

Wage trends fo r se lected occu pation al groups

The percen t in cre a s e s presen ted in table A -7 are based on changes in average hourly earn ings fo r estab lishm ents reporting the trend job s in both the cu rren t and previous year (m atched estab lishm ents). The data are adjusted to rem ove the e ffe cts on average earn ings of em ploym ent shifts am ong estab lishm ents and turnover o f establishm ents included in survey sam ples. The percen t in cre a s e s , h ow ever, are st ill a ffected by fa ctors other than wage in cre a s e s . H iring, la yo ffs , and turnover m ay a ffect an establishm ent average fo r an occupation when w ork ers are paid under plans providing a range o f wage rates fo r individual jo b s . In p eriod s o f in crea sed h iring , fo r exam ple, new em p loyees enter at the bottom o f the range, dep ress in g the average without a change in wage rates.

The percen t changes relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the tim e span between surveys is other than 12 m onths, annual rates are shown. (It is assum ed that w ages in crea se at a constant rate between su rveys.)

areas in the program are com puted

1. Each occupation is assigned a w eight based on its p r o portionate em ploym ent in the occu pation al group in the base year.

2. T hese w eights are used to com pute group av erages.Each occu p a tion 's average (mean) earn ings is m ultiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to obtain a group average .

3. The ratio of group averages fo r 2 con secu tive years is com puted by dividing the average for the current year by the average for the e a r lie r y ea r . The resu lt— ex p ressed as a percen t— le ss 100 is the percent change.

Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions

The p rim a ry purpose of preparing job descr ip tion s fo r the B ureau 's wage surveys is to assist its fie ld staff in c la ss ify in g into appropriate occupations w ork ers who are em ployed under a varie ty of pa yro ll titles and d ifferent w ork arrangem ents from establishm ent to establishm ent and from area to area . This perm its the grouping o f occupational wage rates representin g com parable job content.
