PrefaceThis bulletin p rov ides results of a D ecem ber 1976 survey

of occupational earnings in the Denver—Boulder, Colorado, Stan­dard Metropolitan Statistical A r e a (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Denver, Douglas, Gilpin, and Je fferson Counties). The survey was made as part o f the Bureau of Labor S tatistics ' annual a rea wage survey p rogram , which is designed to y ie ld data fo r individual m etropo litan areas as w e l l as national and reg ional est im ates fo r a l l Standard Metropolitan Statistical A r e a s in the United States, excluding A laska and Hawaii.

A m a jo r consideration in the a rea wage survey p ro gram is the need to descr ibe the le v e l and m ovem ent o f wages in a v a r ie ty of labor m arkets , through the analysis of (1) the le v e l and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the m ovem ent o f wages by occupational ca tegory and skil l le v e l . The p ro gram develops in form ation that m ay be used fo r many purposes, in ­cluding wage and sa la ry administration, co l le c t iv e bargaining, and assistance in determ ining plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S. Department of Lab o r to make wage d e te r ­minations under the S e rv ice Contract A c t of 1965.

Currently , 84 areas are included in the p rogram . (See l i s t o f areas on inside back cov e r . ) In each area, occupational earnings data are co l lec ted annually. In formation on es tab lish­ment p ract ices and supplementary wage benefits is obtained e v e r y third year.

Each yea r a fte r a l l individual area wage surveys have been completed, two sum m ary bulletins are issued. The f i r s t brings together data f o r each m etropo litan area surveyed; the second presents national and reg iona l est im ates, p ro jected f rom individual m etropo litan area data.

The Denver survey was conducted by the Bureau's r e ­gional o f f ice in Kansas City, Mo., under the genera l d irection o f Edward Chaiken, Ass is tant Reg iona l C om m iss ion er fo r O p e r ­ations. The survey could not have been accom plished without the cooperation o f the many f i rm s whose wage and sa la ry data p rov ided the basis fo r the stat ist ica l in form ation in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to exp ress s incere appreciation fo r the c o ­operation rece ived .

N ote:

Current reports on occupational earnings and supple­m en tary wage prov is ions in the Denve i^Bou lder a rea are available fo r the hospitals (August 1975) and e le c t r ic a l appliance repa ir (N ovem ber 1975) industries, and on occupational earnings only fo r the laundry and d ry cleaning industry (D ecem ber 1976).

Appendix AA r e a wage and rela ted benefits data are obtained by persona l v is its

o f Bureau f ie ld rep resen ta t ives at 3 -yea r in terva ls . 1 In each of the in te r ­vening y ea rs , in form ation on employm ent and occupational earnings is c o l ­lected by a combination o f personal v is i t , m a i l questionnaire, and telephone in terv iew f rom establishments partic ipating in the prev ious survey.

In each o f the 84 1 2 areas current ly surveyed, data are obtained from rep resen ta t ive estab lishments within six broad industry d iv is ions : Manufac­turing; transportat ion, communication, and other public util i t ies ; wholesale trade; r e ta i l trade ; finance, insurance, and r ea l estate; and s e rv ic e s . M a jor industry groups excluded f ro m these studies are government operations and the construction and ex trac t ive industries. Establishments having few e r than a p resc r ib ed number o f w orkers are omitted because of insuffic ient em p loy ­ment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are prov ided fo r each o f the broad industry d iv is ions which m eet publication c r i t e r ia .

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The sampling procedures invo lve detailed s tratif ica tion of a l l establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of em ployees . F ro m this strat i f ied universe a probab il ity sample is se lected , with each establishment having a predeterm ined chance of se lection . To obtain optimum accuracy at m inimum cost, a g rea te r proportion o f large than sm all estab­lishments is se lected . When data are combined, each establishment is weighted accord ing to its probability of selection, so that unbiased est im ates are generated. F o r exam ple, i f one out o f four establishments is selected , it is g iven a weight of four to represen t i t s e l f plus three others. An alternate of the same o r ig in a l probability is chosen in the same industry -s ize c la s s i ­fication i f data are not available f rom the o r ig ina l sample m em ber . I f no suitable substitute is ava ilab le , additional weight is assigned to a sample m em ber that is s im i la r to the m iss ing unit.

Occupations and earnings

Occupations se lected for study are common to a va r ie ty of manufac­turing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the fo l low ing types: (1) O f f ice c le r ic a l ; (2) p ro fess ion a l and technical; (3) maintenance, too lroom , and powerplant; and (4) m a te r ia l m ovem ent and custodial. Occupational c lass if ica t ion is based on a uniform set of job descr iptions designed to take account o f in terestab lishm ent var iat ion in duties within the same job. Occu­pations se lected fo r study are listed and descr ibed in appendix B. Unless otherw ise indicated, the earnings data following the job t i t les are for a l l industries combined. Earnings data for some 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, F la .; Lexington—Fayette, K y .; Melbourne—Titusville—Cocoa, Fla.; Norfolk—Virginia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, Va. —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 lim ited area studies in approximately 100 areas at the request o f the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department o f Labor.

descr ibed , or fo r some industry d iv is ions within the scope of the survey, are not presented in the A - s e r i e s tab les, because e ither (1) employment in the occupation is too sm a ll to prov ide enough data to m e r i t presentation, or (2) there is poss ib i l i ty o f d isc losure of individual establishment data. Sepa­rate m en 's and w om en 's earnings data are not presented when the number of w o rk e rs not identif ied by sex is 20 percent or m ore of the men or women identif ied in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately fo r industry d iv is ions are included in data fo r a l l industries combined. L ikew ise , data are included in the o v e r a l l c lass if ica t ion when a subclassif ication of e lec t ron ics techn ic ians , s e c r e ta r ie s , o r t ru ckdr ive rs is not shown or in fo r ­mation to subclassify is not ava ilab le .

Occupational employm ent and earnings data are shown fo r fu l l - t im e w o rk e rs , i .e . , those hired to work a regu lar w eek ly schedule. Earnings data exclude prem ium pay fo r o ve r t 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. W eek ly hours for of f ice c le r ic a l and p ro fess iona l and technica l occupations r e fe r to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) fo r which em ployees r ece ive regular s tra igh t-t im e sa la r ies (exc lus ive of pay fo r ove r t im e at regu lar and/or p rem ium rates ). A v e ra g e w eek ly earnings fo r these occupations are rounded to the nearest half do l la r .

These surveys m easure the le v e l o f occupational earnings in an area at a part icu lar t im e. Com parisons of individual occupational ave rages over t im e m ay not r e f le c t expected wage changes. The ave rages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. F o r exam ple, proport ions o f w o rke rs employed by high- or low -wage f i rm s may change, or h igh-wage w o rk e rs m ay advance to better jobs and be rep laced by new w o rk e rs at low er rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an occu­pational average even though m ost establishments in an area increa'se wages during the yea r . Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A -7 , are better ind icators of wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups.

A ve ra g e earnings re f le c t com pos ite , areawide est im ates. Industries and establishments d i f fe r in pay le v e l and job staffing, and thus contribute d i f fe ren t ly to the est im ates fo r each job. Pay averages m ay fa i l to re f le c t accurate ly the wage d i f fe ren t ia l among jobs in individual establishments.

A v e ra g e pay le v e ls fo r men and women in se lected occupations should not be assumed to r e f le c t d i f fe rences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. F ac to rs which m ay contribute to d i f ferences include p ro ­g ress ion within established rate ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are co l lec ted ) and per fo rm ance o f specif ic duties within the genera l survey job descr ip t ions. Job descr ip t ions used to c la ss i fy em p loyees in these surveys usually are m ore gen era l iz ed than those used in individual establishments and a llow fo r m inor d i f fe rences among establishments in specif ic duties p e r fo rm ed .
