Introduction

This area is 1 o f 72 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau o f Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits. (See lis t of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, earnings data fo r selected occupations (A -se r ie s tables) are collected annually. Information on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits (B -se r ie s tables) is obtained every third year. This report has no B -ser ies tables.

Each year after a ll individual area wage surveys have been com ­pleted, two summary bulletins are issued. The firs t brings together data fo r each metropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and regional estim ates, projected from individual metropolitan area data, for a ll Standard Metropolitan Statistical A reas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.

A m ajor consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to describe the leve l and movement of wages in a varie ty of labor markets, through the analysis of (1) the leve l and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill leve l. The program develops information that may be used for many purposes, including wage and sa lary administration, co llective bargaining, and assistance 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 -se r ie s tables

Tables A - l through A -6 provide estimates o f straight-tim e weekly or hourly earnings fo r workers in occupations common to a va rie ty of

manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. The occupations are defined in Appendix B. For the 31 largest survey areas, tables A-10 through A-15 provide sim ilar data for establishments employing 500 workers or more.

Table A-7 provides percent changes in average hourly earnings of o ffice c lerica l workers, electronic data processing workers, industrial nurses, skilled maintenance trades w orkers, and unskilled plant workers. Where possible, data are presented fo r a ll industries and fo r manufac­turing and nonmanufacturing separately. Data are not presented fo r skilled maintenance workers in nonmanufacturing because the number of workers employed in this occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too sm all to warrant separate presentation. This table provides a measure of wage trends after elimination of changes in average earnings caused by em ploy­ment shifts among establishments as w ell as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. For further details, see appendix A.

Tables A - 8 and A -9 provide for the firs t time measures o f average pay relationships within establishments. These measures may d iffer con­siderably from the pay relationships of overa ll averages published in tables A - l through A-6. See appendix A for details.

Appendixes

Appendix A describes the methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program and provides inform ation on the scope of the survey.

Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau fie ld r e ­presentatives to classify workers by occupation.

1 Standard hours re flect the workweek fo r which employees receive their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay fo r overtim e at regular and/or prem ium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.

2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings o f a ll workers and dividing by the number o f w orkers. The median designates position— half o f the workers receive the same o r m ore and half receive the same or less than the rate shown. The m iddle range is defined by two rates of pay: a fourth o f the workers earn the same or less than the low er o f these rates and a fourth earn the same or m ore than the higher rate.

3 Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was provided by the establishment.

4 Excludes premium pay for overtim e and fo r work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.

Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey

In each o f the 72 1 areas currently surveyed, the Bureau obtains wages and related benefits data from representative establishments within s ix broad industry d ivis ions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication,and other public u tilities ; wholesale trade; reta il trade; finance, insurance, and rea l estate; and s e rv ic es . Government operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded. Establishments having few er than a p rescribed number o f w orkers are also excluded because o f insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number o f establishments and w orkers estimated to be within the scope of this survey, as w e ll as die number actually studied.

Bureau fie ld representatives obtain data by personal v is its at 3 -year in terva ls . In each o f the two intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings only is collected by a combination of personal v isit, m a il questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.

A sam ple o f the establishments in the scope of the survey is selected fo r study p r io r to each personal v is it survey. This sample, less estab­lishm ents which go out o f business o r are no longer within the industrial scope o f the survey, is retained fo r the following two annual surveys. In m ost cases, establishments new to the area are not considered in the scope o f the survey until the selection o f a sample fo r a personal v is it survey.

The sampling procedures involve detailed stratification o f all estab­lishm ents within the scope o f an individual area survey by industry and number o f em ployees. F rom this stratified universe a probability sample is selected , with each establishment having a predeterm ined chance of se­lection . To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion o f la rg e than sm all establishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishm ent is weighted according to its probability o f selection so that unbiased estim ates are generated. F o r example, if one out o f four establishm ents is selected , it is given a weight o f 4 to represent itse lf plus three others. An alternate o f the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-s ize c lass ifica tion i f data are not available from the orig inal sam ple m em ber. I f no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample m em ber that is s im ilar to the m issing unit.

Occupations and earnings

Occupations selected fo r study are common to a varie ty o f manufac­turing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are o f the follow ing types: (1)O ffice c le r ic a l; (2 ) p ro fessiona l and technical; (3) maintenance, toolroom ,

1 Included in the 72 areas are 2 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Akron, Ohio and Poughkeepsie—Kingston-Newburgh, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in approximately 100 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.

and powerplant; and (4) m ateria l movement and custodial. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account o f interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. Occupations selected fo r study are listed and described in appendix B.

Unless otherw ise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles are fo r all industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described, or for some industry divisions within the scope o f the survey, 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 possib ility o f d isclosure of individual establishment data. Separate m en's and women's earnings data are not presented when the number of workers not identified by sex is 20 percent or m ore o f the men or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately fo r industry divisions are included in data for all industries combined. L ikew ise, for occupations with m ore than one level, data are included in the overa ll classification when a subclassification is not shown or information to subclassify is not available.

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w orkers, i.e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay fo r overtim e and fo r work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-liv ing allowances and incentive bonuses are included. W eekly hours for office c le r ica l and professional and technical occupations re fer to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive regu lar straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay fo r overtim e at regular and/or prem ium ra tes). A verage weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest half do llar. V ertica l lines within the distribution of workers on some A -tab les indicate a change in the size o f the class intervals.

These surveys m easure the leve l o f occupational earnings in an area at a particu lar tim e. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over tim e may not re fle c t expected wage changes. The averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. For example, proportions o f workers employed by high- or low -wage firm s may change, or high-wage workers may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new w orkers at low er rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an occu­pational average even though most establishments in an area increase wages during the year. Changes in earnings o f occupational groups, shown in table A - 7, are better indicators o f wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups.

Average earnings re flec t composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments d iffe r in pay leve l and job staffing, and thus contribute d ifferen tly to the estim ates fo r each job. Pay averages may fa il to re flect accurately the wage d ifferen tia l among jobs in individual establishments.

Average pay level? for men and women in selected occupations should not be assumed to re flec t d ifferences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. Factors which may contribute to d ifferences include p ro ­gression within established rate ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are collected) and perform ance of specific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job descriptions used to c lass ify employees in these surveys usually are m ore generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for m inor differences among establishments in specific duties performed.

Occupational employment estimates represent the total in a ll estab­lishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establishments d iffe r, estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the re la tive importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not a ffect m ateria lly the accuracy of the earnings data.

Wage trends fo r selected occupational groups

The percent increases presented in table A-7 are based on changes in average hourly earnings of men and women in establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous year (matched establishments). The data are adjusted to rem ove the effects on average earnings o f em ploy­ment shifts among establishments and turnover of establishments included in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by factors other than wage increases. H irings, 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 may enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates.

The percent changes relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the tim e span between surveys is other than 12 months, annual rates are also shown, (it is assumed that wages increase at a constant rate between surveys.)

Occupations used to compute wage trends are:

Janitors, porters, and cleaners

M ateria l handling laborers28

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

1. Average earnings are computed fo r each occupation for the 2 years being compared. The averages are derived from earnings in those establishments which are in the survey both years; it is assumed that employment remains unchanged.

2. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its p ro ­portionate employment in the occupational group in the base year.

3. These weights are used to compute group averages.Each occupation's average earnings (computed in step 1) is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to Obtain a group average.

4. The ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the average for the current year by the average for the ea rlie r year. The result— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change.

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

Average pay relationships within establishments

Relative measures of occupational pay are presented in table A - 8 for white-collar occupations and in table A -9 for b lue-co llar occupations. These re la tive values re flect d ifferences in pay between occupations within individual establishments. Relative pay values are computed by dividing an establishment's average earnings for an occupation being compared by the average for another occupation (designated as 100) and multiplying the quotient by 100. For example, i f janitors in a firm average $4 an hour and fork lift operators $5, fork lift operators have a re la tive pay value of 125 compared with janitors. ($5 -5- $4 = 1.25, x 100 = 125.) In combining the relatives of the individual establishments to a rr ive at an overa ll average, each establish­ment is considered to have as many re la tives as it has weighted workers in the two jobs being compared.

Pay relationships based on overa ll averages may d iffer considerably because of the varying contribution of high- and low-wage establishments to the averages. For example, the overa ll average hourly earnings for fo rk lift operators may be 50 percent more than the average fo r janitors because the average for fork lift operators may be strongly influenced by earnings in high-wage establishments while the average for janitors may be strongly influenced by earnings in low-wage establishments. In such a case, the intra-establishment relationship w ill indicate a much sm aller d ifference in earnings.

Establishment pract ices and supplementary wage p rov is ions

Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions (B -series tables) are not presented in this bulletin. In form a­tion for these tabulations is collected at 3-year in tervals. These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced o ffice workers; shift d iffe r ­entials; scheduled weekly hours and days; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the B -ser ies tables) in previous bulletins for this area.

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 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 statistical series to measure 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.

z The 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division. All government operations are excluded from the scope of the survey.

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 one establishment. '>

4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation.

5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the, A -series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation are excluded. Atlanta's transit system is municipally operated and is excluded by definition from the scope of the study.

6 Separate data for this division are not presented in the A - and B -series tables, but the division is represented in the "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" estimates.

Appendix B.OccupationalDescriptions

The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bu­reau 's wage surveys is to assist its fie ld representatives in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety o f payro ll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This perm its grouping occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this em ­phasis on interestablishm ent and interarea comparability o f 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 representatives are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; and part- tim e, tem porary, and probationary workers. Handicapped workers whose earnings are reduced because o f their handicap are also excluded. L earners , beginners, and trainees, unless specifically included in the job descriptions, are excluded.

OfficeSECRETARY

Assigned as a personal secretary, normally to one individual. Main­tains a close and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activities of the supervisor. Works fa ir ly independently receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance. P erform s varied c lerica l and secretaria l duties requiring a knowledge o f o ffice routine and understanding o f the organization, program s, and procedures related to the work o f the supervisor.

Exclusions. Not all positions that are titled "secre ta ry " possess the above characteristics . Examples o f positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows:

a. Positions which do not meet the "personal" secretary concept described above;

b. Stenographers not fully trained in secretaria l-type duties;

c. Stenographers serving as o ffice assistants to a group o f p ro­fessional, technical, or m anagerial persons;

d. A ss is t ant-type positions which entail more difficult or m ore responsible technical, administrative, or supervisory duties which are not typ ica l o f secretaria l work, e .g ., Adm inistrative Assistant, or Executive Assistant:

e. Positions which do not fit any o f the situations listed in the sections below titled "L e v e l o f Supervisor, " e .g , secretary to the president of a company that employs, in a ll, over 5,000 persons;

f. T rainees.

C lassification by Leve l

Secretary jobs which meet the required characteristics are matched at one of five levels according to (a) the leve l of the secretary 's supervisor within the company's organizational structure and, (b) the leve l of the secretary 's responsibility. The tabulation follow ing the explanations of these two factors indicates the leve l o f the secretary for each combination of the factors.

L eve l o f S ecretary 's Supervisor (LS )

LS—1 a. Secretary to the supervisor or head o f a sm all organizationalunit (e .g ., fewer than about 25 or 30 persons); or

b. Secretary to a nonsupervisory staff specialist, professional employee, adm inistrative o ffice r or assistant, skilled technician or expert. (NOTE: M a n y companies assign stenographers,rather than secretaries as described above, to this leve l of supervisory or nonsupervisory worker.)

LS-2 a. Secretary to an executive or m anagerial person whose respon­s ib ility is not equivalent to one of the specific leve l situations in the definition for LS-3, but whose organizational unit normally numbers at least severa l dozen employees and is usually divided into organizational segments which are often, in turn, further subdivided. In some companies, this leve l includes a wide range o f organizational echelons; in others, only one or two; or

b. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (o r ocher equivalent leve l of o ffic ia l) that employs, in all, fewer than 5,000 persons.

SECRETARY— Continued

Classification by Level-—Continued

LS-3 a. Secretary to the chairman o f the board or president of a company that employs, in all, few er than 100 persons; or

b. Secretary to a corporate o ffice r (other than chairman of the board or president) o f a company that employs, in all, over 100 but few er than 5,000 persons; or

c. Secretary to the head (im m ediately below the o fficer leve l) over either a m ajor corporatewide functional activity (e .g ., marketing, research, operations, industrial relations, etc.) or a m ajor geographic or organizational segment (e .g ., a regional headquar­ters; a m ajor division) of a company that employs, in all, over 5,000 but few er than 25,000 em ployees; or

d. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other equivalent leve l of o ffic ia l) that employs, in all, over 5,000 persons; or

LS—4 a. Secretary to the chairman of the board of president of a companythat employs, in all, over 100 but few er than 5,000 persons; or

b. Secretary to a corporate o ffice r (other than the chairman o f the board or president) o f a company that employs, in all, over 5,000 but few er than 25,000 persons; or

c. Secretary to the head, im m ediately below the corporate o ffice r leve l, of a m ajor segment or subsidiary o f a company that employs, in all, over 25, 000 persons.

N O TE : The term "corporate o ffic e r " used in the above LS definitionrefers to those o ffic ia ls who have a significant corporatewide policymaking ro le with regard to m ajor company activ ities . The title "v ice president, " though norm ally indicative o f this ro le, does not in all cases identify such

positions. Vice presidents whose prim ary responsib ility is to act personally on individual cases or transactions (e.g ., approve or deny individual loan or cred it actions; administer individual trust accounts; d irectly supervise a c le r ica l staff) are not considered to be "corpora te o ffice rs " fo r purposes of applying the definition.

COMPUTER OPERATOR— ContinuedMay test-run new or modified programs. May assist in modifying

systems or program s. The scope of this definition includes trainees working to become fu lly qualified computer operators, fully qualified computer operators, and lead operators providing technical assistance to lower leve l operators. It excludes workers who monitor and operate remote term inals.

Class A . In addition to work assignments described for a class B operator (see below ) the work of a class A operator involves at least one of the follow ing:

- Deviates from standard procedures to avoid the loss of in fo r­mation or to conserve computer time even though the procedures applied m ateria lly alter the computer unit's production plans.

- Tests new program s, applications, and procedures.

- Advises program m ers and subject-matter experts on s e t u p techniques.

- Assists in (1) maintaining, modifying,- and developing operating systems or program s; (2) developing operating instructions and techniques to cover problem situations; and/op (3) switching to em ergency backup procedures (such assistance requ ires a working knowledge o f program language, computer features, and software system s).

An operator at this leve l typically guides lower leve l operators.

Class B . In addition to established production runs, work assign­ments include runs involving new program s, applications, and procedures ( i.e ., situations which requ ire the operator to adapt to a varie ty of problems). A t this le v e l, the operator has the training and experience to work fa ir ly independently in carry ing out most assignments. Assignments may require the operator to se lect from a variety of standard setup and operating procedures. In responding to computer output instructions or erro r con­ditions, applies standard operating or corrective procedures, but may deviate from standard procedures when standard procedures fa il if deviation does not m ateria lly a lter the computer unit's production plans. R efers the problem or aborts the program when procedures applied do not provide a solution. May guide low er le v e l operators.

Class C . W ork assignments are lim ited to established production runs (i.e ., program s which present few operating problems).
