OCCUPATIONAL WAGE
Data are shown for f u ll-t im e w o r k e r s , i. e. , those hired
to w ork a f u ll-t im e schedule for the given occupational c l a s s i f i
cation.
E arnings data exclude prem ium p ay for overtim e and for
w ork on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
Nonproduction bo
nuses ar e a lso excluded, but c o s t - o f - l i v i n g bonuses and incentive
earnings a r e included. Where w eek ly hours are reported, as for
office c l e r i c a l occupations, re fe re n ce is to the work schedules
(rounded to the n e a rest half-hour) for which s tra ig h t-tim e salaries
are paid; a v e r a g e w eek ly earnings for these occupations have been
rounded to the n e a re s t 50 cents.
Introduction
The A tlanta a r e a is one of se v e r a l important industrial
ce n te rs in which the B ureau of Labor Statistics has conducted
s u r v e y s of occupational earnings and related wage benefits on an
areaw ide b a s is .
In each a r e a , data are obtained by personal
v is its of Bureau field agents to representative establishm ents
within 6 broad in dustry divisions:
Manufacturing; tr a n s p o r ta
tion (excluding ra ilr o a d s), communication, and other public u t il
ities; w holesa le trade; r e ta il trade; finance, insurance, and r&al
estate; and s e r v i c e s . M a jo r industry groups excluded from these
studies a r e governm ent institutions and the construction and e x
tr a c tiv e in d u strie s.
E sta b lish m e n ts having few er than a p r e
s c r ib e d number of w o r k e r s w ere also omitted since they furnish
insufficient em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w arrant
inclusion. 1
W h er ever p o s s ib le , separate tabulations are p r o
vided for the individual broad industry divisions.
Occupational employment estim ates refer to the total in
all establishm ents within the scope of the study and not to the
number a c tu a lly surveyed . B eca u se of d ifferences in occupational
structure among estab lish m en ts, the estim ates of occupational
em ployment obtained from the sam ple of establishm ents studied
s e r v e only to indicate the re la tive im portance of the jobs studied.
T h ese d ifferen ces in occupational stru ctu re do not m a te ria lly
affect the a c c u r a c y of the earnings data.
T h ese s u r v e y s are conducted on a sam ple basis because
of the u n n e c e s s a r y co s t involved in surveying ail estab lishm ents,
and to ensure prom pt publication of re su lts.
To obtain ap p ro
p ria te a c c u r a c y at m inim um cost, a g re ate r proportion of la rg e
than of s m a ll estab lish m en ts is studied. In combining the data,
how ever, a ll e stab lish m en ts ar e given their appropriate weight.
E s t im a t e s a r e p resented therefore as relating to all e s t a b lis h
ments in the in d ustry grouping and ar ea , but not to those below
the m inim um s iz e studied. 2
E sta b lish m e n t P r a c t i c e s and Supplementary
Wage P r o v is io n s
Information is a lso p resented on selected establishment
p r a c tic e s and supplem entary benefits as they relate to office and

bulletin includes all office c l e r i c a l em ployees and excludes ad
m in is tr a tiv e , executive,, p ro fess io n a l, and technical personnel.
" Plant w o r k e r s ” include working forem en and all nonsupervisory
w o rk ers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice
functions. A d m in istra tiv e , executive, profession al, and technical
em p loy ees, and fo rce account construction employees who are
utilized as a separate w ork fo rc e are excluded. C afeteria w orkers
and routem en are excluded in m anufacturing industries but are
included as plant w ork ers in nonmanufacturing industries.
Occupations and E arn ings
Occupational c la s s i fic a t io n is based on a uniform set of
job d escrip tion s designed to take account of interestablishm ent
va riation in duties within the sam e job (see Appendix for listin g
of th ese d escrip tion s). E arn ings data ar e presented for the f o l
lowing types of occupations: (a) Office c le rica l; (b) p rofession al

APPENDIX:
JOB DESCRIPTIONS
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau1s 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 is essential in order to permit 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 signifi
cantly 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 work
ing supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped workers, part-time,
temporary, and probationary workers.
