Price 20 cents Contents Preface Page The Community Wage Survey Program Introduction _______________________________________________________________ Wage trends for selected occupational groups ------------------------------------------- The Bureau of Labor Statistics regularly conducts areawide wage surveys in a number of important industrial centers. The studies, made from late fall to early spring, relate to occupational earnings and related supplementary benefits. A preliminary report is available on completion of the study in each area, usually in the month following the payroll period studied. This bulletin provides additional data not included in the earlier report. A consolidated analytical bulletin summarizing the results of all of the year’ s surveys is issued after completion of the final area bulletin for the current round of surveys. Tables: This report was prepared in the Bureau’ s regional office in New York, N .Y ., by Elliott A. Browar, under the direction of Frederick W. Muller, Assistant Regional Director for Wages and Industrial Relations. 1. 2. 1 3 Establishments and workers within scope of survey ----------------------Indexes of standard weekly salaries and straight-time hourly earnings for selected occupational groups, and percents of increase for selected periods _____________________________________ 2 A: Occupational earnings: * A- 1.

The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey.The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other area employment indexes to m easure employment trends or levels since (l) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 The 1957 revised edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division. Major changes from the earlier edition (used in the Bureau's labor market wage surveys conducted prior to July 1958) are the transfer of m ilk pasteurization plants and ready-mixed concrete establishments from trade (wholesale or retail) to manufacturing, and the transfer of radio and television broadcasting from services to the transportation, communication, and other public utilities division. 3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the m inim um -size limitation. All outlets (within thearea) of companies insuch industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and m otion-picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. 4 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. 5 Hotels; personal services; business serv ice s; automobile repair shops; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations; and engineering and architectural services. 6 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the series A tables. Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons: (l) Employment in the division is too '•mall to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
