Introduction
This area is 1 of 75 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and r e lated benefits. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data (A -se r ie s tables) are collected annually. Information on establishm ent practices and supplementary wage benefits (B - series tables) is obtained every third year.
Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been com pleted, two sum m ary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and r e gional estim ates, projected from individual m etropolitan area data, for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
A m ajor consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to describe the level and movement of wages in a variety of labor m arkets, through the analysis of (1) the level and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level. The program develops information that may be used for many purposes, including wage and salary adm inistration, collective bargaining, and a s sistance in determining plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S. Department of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965.
A - s e r i e s tab les
Tables A - 1 through A - 6 provide estim ates of straight-tim e weekly or hourly earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. For the 31 largest survey areas, tables A - 8 through A - 13 provide sim ilar data for establishm ents employing 500 workers or m ore.
Table A -7 provides percent changes in average hourly earnings of office clerical workers, electronic data processing w orkers, industrial nurses, skilled maintenance trades w orkers, and unskilled plant w orkers. Where possible, data are presented for all industries and for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing separately. Data are not presented for skilled m aintenance workers in nonmanufacturing because the number of w orkers em ployed in this occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too sm all to warrant separate presentation. This table provides a m easure of wage trends after elimination of changes in average earnings caused by employment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishm ents included in survey sam ples. For further details, see appendix A.

3 Temporary disability insurance which provides benefits to covered workers disabled by injury or illness which is not work-connected is mandatory under State laws in California, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island. Establishment plans which meet only the legal requirements are excluded from these data, but those under which (1) employers contribute more than is legally required or (2) benefits exceed those specified in the State law are included. In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out of a State fund to which only employees contribute. In each of the other three States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan.
State fund financing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey,employees and employ ere contribute; in New York, employees contribute up to a specified maximum and employers pay the difference between the employees' share and the total contribution required.
Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required to contributemore than they would if they were covered by the State fund; in New York, employees can agree to contribute more if the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate with the benefit provided.
Federal legislation (Railroad Unemployment insurance Act) provides temporary disability insurance benefits to railroad workers for illness or injury, whether work-connected or not. The legislation requires that employ'ers bear the entire cost of the insurance.
