Occupational Wage Survey—Cleveland, Ohio
Introduction
O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown for
fu ll-tim e w o r k e r s , i. e. , those h ired to w ork a regu lar w eekly schedule
in the given occupational cla ss ifica tio n . Earnings data exclude p r e ­
m ium pay fo r ov ertim e and fo r w ork on w eek en d s, h olidays, and late
shifts. N onproduction bonuses are exclu ded, but c o s t-o f-liv in g bonuses
and incentive earnings a re included. W here w eekly hours are rep orted ,
as fo r o ffic e c le r ic a l occu p a tion s, re fe re n ce is to the w ork schedules
(rounded to the n ea rest half hour) fo r w hich straigh t-tim e salaries
are paid; average w eekly earnings fo r these occupations have been
rounded to the n ea rest half d o lla r.

This a rea is 1 o f 82 labor m arkets in w hich the U. S. D e ­
partm ent o f L a b o r ’ s B ureau o f Labor Statistics conducts su rveys o f
occu p ation al earnings and related wage benefits on an areaw ide b a sis.
This bu lletin p resen ts cu rren t occupational em ploym ent and
earnings in form ation obtained la rg ely by m ail from the establishm ents
v isite d by B ureau fie ld econ om ists in the last previou s survey fo r
occu p ation s re p o rte d in that e a rlie r study. P e rso n a l v isits w ere made
to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes
sin ce the p rev iou s su rvey.
In each a r e a , data are obtained from represen tative e sta b ­
lish m en ts within six b roa d industry d ivision s: M anufacturing; tr a n s ­
p ortation , com m u n ica tion , and other public u tilities; w h olesale trade;
re ta il trade; fin an ce, in su ra n ce, and re a l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor
industry grou ps exclu ded fro m these studies are governm ent o p e r a ­
tions and the con stru ctio n and extractive in du stries. E stablishm ents
having few er than a p r e s c r ib e d number o f w ork ers are om itted becau se
they tend to fu rn ish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied
to w arrant in clu sion . Separate tabulations are provided fo r each o f the
broad industry d iv isio n s w hich m eet publication c rite r ia .

D iffe re n ce s in pay lev els fo r selected occupations in which
both m en and w om en are com m only em ployed m ay be due to such
fa cto rs as (1) d iffe re n ce s in the distribution o f the sexes among in­
du stries and establishm ents; (2) d iffe re n ce s in length o f s e rv ice or
m e rit review when individual sa la rie s are adjusted on this basis;
and (3) d iffe re n ce s in sp e c ific duties p e rfo rm e d , although the o c c u ­
pations are a p p rop riately c la s s ifie d within the sam e survey job d e ­
scrip tio n . Job d escrip tion s used in cla ssify in g em p loyees in these
surveys are usually m ore gen eralized than those used in individual
establish m en ts. This allow s fo r m inor d iffe re n ce s among establish ­
ments in s p e c ific duties p e rfo rm ed .

T hese su rveys a re conducted on a sam ple b a sis becau se o f
the u n n ecessa ry co s t involved in surveying a ll establish m en ts. To
obtain optim um a c cu r a c y at minimum c o s t, a g rea ter p rop ortion o f
la rg e than o f sm a ll establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data,
h ow ev er, a ll establish m en ts are given their appropriate weight. E s ­
tim ates based on the establishm ents studied are p resen ted , th e r e fo r e ,
as relating to a ll establishm ents in the industry grouping and a re a ,
excep t fo r th ose below the m inim um size studied.

O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates rep resen t the total in
a ll establishm ents within the scop e o f the study and not the number
actually su rveyed. B ecause o f d ifferen ces in occu pation al structure
among establish m en ts, the estim ates of occupational em ploym ent
obtained fro m the sam ple o f establishm ents studied serv e only to
indicate the rela tive im portance o f the job s studied. These d iffe r ­
en ces in occupational structure do not m a teria lly affect the a ccu ra cy
o f the earnings data.

O ccupations and Earnings
The occu p ation s se le cte d for study are com m on to a v a riety
o f m anufacturing and nonmanufacturing in du stries, and are o f the
follow in g types: (a) O ffice c le r ic a l; (b) p ro fe ssio n a l and tech n ical;
(c) m aintenance and pow erplant; and (d) cu stodial and m a teria l m o v e ­
m ent. O ccupational c la s s ifica tio n is based on a u niform set o f job
d escrip tion s d esign ed to take account o f inter establishm ent variation
in duties within the sam e job . The occupations se le cte d fo r study
a re listed and d e s crib e d in the appendix. Earnings data fo r som e o f
the occu pation s listed and d e scrib e d are not presented in the A -s e r ie s
tables beca u se either (1) em ploym ent in the occupation is too sm a ll
to p rovid e enough data to m erit presentation, o r (2) there is p o s s i­
b ility o f d is c lo s u r e o f individual establishm ent data.




Establishm ent P r a c tic e s and Supplem entary Wage P ro v isio n s
Tabulations on selected establishm ent p ra ctices and supple­
m entary wage p rov ision s (B -s e r ie s tables) a re not presented in this
bulletin. Inform ation fo r these tabulations is co lle cte d biennially in
this area .
T hese tabulations on m inim um entrance salaries for
in exp erien ced wom en o ffice w ork e rs; shift d ifferen tia ls; scheduled
w eekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance,
and pension plans are presented (in the B -s e r ie s tables) in previous
bulletins for this area.

shown in this table p rovide a reasonably a ccu rate d escrip tion o f the size and com position o f the la b o r fo r c e included in the survey. The estim ates
are not intended, how ever, to se rv e as a b a sis o f com p a rison with other em ploym ent indexes fo r the a rea to m easu re em ploym ent trends o r le ve ls
since (1) planning o f wage surveys req u ires the use of establishm ent data com piled con sid erably in advance of the p a y ro ll p eriod studied, and
(2) sm all establishm ents are excluded fro m the scope of the survey.
2 The 1957 re v ise d edition of the Standard Industrial C la ssification Manual was used in cla ssify in g establishm ents by industry division.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total em ploym ent at o r above the minimum lim itation. A ll outlets (within the area) of com panies in such
industries as trade, finance, auto rep air s e r v ic e , and m otion p icture theaters are con sid ered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes all w orkers in all establishm ents with total em ploym ent (within the area) at or above the m inim um lim itation.
5 Taxicabs and s e r v ic e s incidental to w ater transportation w ere excluded. C leveland's transit system is m un icip a lly operated and is excluded
by definition fro m the scop e of the study.
6 This industry d ivision is rep resented in estim ates fo r " a ll industries" and "nonm anufacturing" in the S eries A tab les. Separate presentation
of data fo r this division is not m ade fo r one o r m o re of the follow ing reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too sm a ll to p rovid e enough data
to m erit separate study, (2) the sam ple was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) resp on se was insufficient or inadequate to
perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is p o ssib ility of d isclo su re of individual establishm ent data.

A verag e w eek ly sa la ries or average hourly earnings w e re
com puted fo r each o f the selected occu pation s. The average sa la rie s
o r h ourly earn in gs w e re then m ultiplied by em ploym ent in each o f
the jo b s during the p e r io d surveyed in 1961. These w eighted earnings




fo r individual occu pation s w e re then totaled to obtain an aggregate for
each occu pation al group. F in a lly, the ratio (e x p re sse d as a percentage)
o f the group aggregate fo r the one year to the aggregate fo r the other
yea r was com puted and the d ifferen ce betw een the resu lt and 100 is
the p ercen tage o f change fr o m the one p eriod to the other. The
indexes w e re com puted by m ultiplying the ratios fo r each group
aggregate fo r each p eriod after the base year (1961).
The indexes and p ercen tages o f change m ea su re, p rin cip ally,
the e ffe cts o f (1) g en era l sa la ry and wage changes; (2) m e rit or other
in cre a se s in pay r e c e iv e d by individual w o rk e rs while in the sam e
job ; and (3) changes in average w ages due to changes in the labor fo r c e
resulting fro m labor tu rn over, fo r c e expan sion s, fo r c e red u ction s,
and changes in the p rop ortion s o f w o rk e rs em ployed by establishm ents
with d ifferen t pay le v e ls .
Changes in the labor fo r c e can cause
in cre a se s or d e c r e a s e s in the occu pation al averages without actual
wage changes.
F o r exam ple, a fo r c e expansion m ight in crea se the
p rop ortion o f lower* paid w o rk e rs in a s p e cific occupation and low er
the a v e ra g e , w h ereas a redu ction in the p rop ortion o f low er paid
w o rk e rs would have the op posite effect. S im ila rly , the m ovem ent o f
a high-paying establishm ent out o f an area could cause the average
earnings to d ro p , even though no change in rates o c cu rre d in other
establishm ents in the area .
The use of constant em ploym ent w eights elim inates the effect
of changes in the p rop ortion o f w ork ers rep resen ted in each jo b in ­
cluded in the data. The p ercen tages of change re fle ct only changes in
average pay fo r stra ig h t-tim e hours. They are not influenced by
changes in standard w ork sch ed u les, as such, or by prem ium pay
fo r ov ertim e.

The above text rep resen ts the m ethod u sed in com puting a new index
(1961 base) and trend s e r ie s . This s e r ie s , initiated with the expansion o f the
labor m arket wage su rvey p rog ra m to 80 Standard M etropolitan S tatistical A r e a s ,
re p la ce s the old s e r ie s (1953 b a se).
The new s e r ie s c o v e r s the sam e jo b groupings as the e a r lie r s e r ie s

Appendix: Occupational Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’ s 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 permits the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because
of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bu­
reau’ 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 economists are in­
structed to exclude working supervisors, apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time,
temporary, and probationary workers.
