Separate tabulations are provided for each of the b ro ad in du stry d ivision s which m ee t publication c r it e r ia . T h e se su r v e y s are conducted on a sam p le b a sis b ecau se of the u n n e c e s s a r y co st in volved in surveying all esta b lish m e n ts. To obtain o ptim u m a c c u r a c y at m in im u m co st, a g re a te r p roportion of la rg e than of s m a ll e sta b lish m e n ts is studied. In com bining the data, h ow ev er, a ll e s ta b lish m e n ts are given their appropriate w eight. E s t i m a te s b a se d on the esta b lish m e n ts studied are p re se n te d , th e r e fo r e , as rela tin g to a ll e sta b lish m e n ts in the industry grouping and a re a , excep t fo r th ose b elow the m in im u m size studied. O ccu p ation s and E a rn in g s The occu p ation s se le c te d for study are com m o n to a v a r ie ty of m an u factu rin g and nonm anufacturing in d u strie s, and are of the fo llow in g ty p e s : (a) O ffice c le r ic a l; (b) p r o fe ssio n a l and tech n ica l; (c) m ain ten an ce and pow erp lan t; and (d) custodial and m a te r ia l m o v e m en t. O ccu p ation al c la s s ific a tio n is b ased on a u n iform set of job d e s c r ip tio n s d e sig n ed to take account of in te re sta b lish m e n t variatio n in duties w ithin the sa m e jo b . The occupations se le c te d for study are lis te d and d e s c r ib e d in the appendix. E arnings data for so m e of the o ccu p ation s lis te d and d e sc rib e d are not p resen ted in the A - s e r i e s ta b le s b e c a u s e eith er (1) em p loym en t in the occupation is too s m a ll to p ro vid e enough data to m e r it presen ta tio n , or (2) there is p o s s i b ility of d is c lo s u r e of individual esta b lish m en t data. O ccupational em p loym en t and earnings data are shown for fu ll-t im e w o r k e r s, i .e ., those h ired to w ork a reg u lar w eekly schedule in the given occupational c la s s ific a tio n . E arn in gs data exclude p r e m iu m pay for o vertim e land for w ork on w eek en ds, h olidays, and late sh ifts. Nonproduction bonuses a re excluded, but c o s t -o f livin g bon u ses and incentive earnings are included. W here w eekly hours are rep o rte d , as for office c le r ic a l occupations, referen ce is to the w ork sch ed ules (rounded to the n ea re st half hour) for which s tr a ig h t-tim e s a la r ie s are paid; average w eek ly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the n ea re st half d ollar. D iffe re n c e s in pay le v e ls for se le c te d occupations in which both m en and w om en are com m only em p loyed are la rg ely due to (1) d iffe re n c e s in the distribu tion of the sex e s among industries and e sta b lish m e n ts; (2) d iffe re n ce s in sp e c ific duties p e rfo rm e d , although the occupations are app rop ria tely c la s s ifie d within the sam e survey job d e sc rip tio n ; and (3) d iffe re n ce s in length of se r v ic e or m e rit rev ie w when individual s a la r ie s are adjusted on this b a sis. Longer avera ge s e r v ic e of m en would resu lt in higher average pay when both se x e s are em p loyed within the sam e rate range. Job d e s c r ip tions used in c la ssify in g em p lo y ee s in these su rvey s are usually m o r e g e n e ra liz e d than those used in individual esta blish m en ts to allow for m in or d iffe re n ce s among esta b lish m en ts in specific duties p e rfo r m e d .
