P r e s e n t e d in table 2 a re indexes and p e rcen ta ges of change
in a v e ra g e s a la ries o f o ffic e c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s and industrial nurses,
and in a v e ra g e earnings of s e lected p lantw orker groups. The indexes
a r e a m ea su re of w ages at a given tim e, e x p re s s e d as a percen t of
w ages during the base p eriod . Subtracting 100 fr o m the index yields
the percen tage change in wages f r o m the base period to the date of
the index.
The p ercen ta ges of change o r in c r e a s e relate to wage
changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of in c r e a s e , w here
shown, r e f l e c t the amount of in c re a s e fo r 12 months when the tim e

shows the p ercen ta ge change. The index is the product of multiplying
the base y e a r r e la t iv e (100) by the r e la tiv e fo r the next succeeding
y e a r and continuing to m ultiply (compound) each y e a r 's relative by the
p revio u s y e a r 's index.
F o r o ffic e c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s and industrial nurses, the wage
trends relate to r e g u la r w e e k ly sa la rie s fo r the norm al workweek,
e xclu sive of earnings fo r o v e r tim e .
F o r pla ntworker groups, they
m e a s u re changes in a v e r a g e s tra ig h t-tim e hourly earnings, excluding
p rem iu m pay fo r o v e r t im e and fo r w o rk on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts. The p ercen ta ges are based on data f o r sele cted key o c c u ­
pations and include m ost of the n u m e ric a lly important jobs within
each group.
L im ita tio n s o f Data

Method of Computing
The indexes and p ercentages o f change, as m easu res of
change in a re a a v e r a g e s , are influenced by;
( l ) g en era l salary and
wage changes, (2) m e r i t or other in c r e a s e s in pay r e c e iv e d by in d i­
vidual w o r k e r s while in the same job, and (3) changes in a v e ra g e
w ages due to changes in the labor f o r c e resulting fr o m labor turn­
o v e r , f o r c e expansions, fo r c e reductions, and changes in the p r o p o r ­
tions of w o r k e r s em ployed by establishments with d ifferen t pay lev e ls .
Changes in the labor f o r c e can cause in c re a s e s or d ec re a s e s in the
occupational a v e r a g e s without actual wage changes. It is conceivable
that even though a ll establishments in an area gave wage in c re a s e s ,
a v e ra g e wages m ay have declined because lo w e r-p a y in g establishments
entered the a re a o r expanded their w ork fo r c e s .
S im ila rly , wages
m a y have rem ained r e l a t i v e l y constant, yet the av e ra g e s fo r an area
m a y have ris e n c o n sid era b ly because h igher-paying establishments
entered the area.

Each of the follow ing key occupations within an occupational
group was assigned a constant weight based on its p roportionate e m ­
ploym ent in the occupational group;

The usev of constant em plo ym ent weights elim in ates the effect
of changes in the prop ortion o f w o r k e r s represen ted in each job in ­
cluded in the data.
The percen tages of change r e fle c t only changes
in a v e ra g e pay fo r stra ig h t-tim e hours.
T h e y are not influenced by
changes in standard w o rk schedules, as such, o r by prem iu m pay
fo r o v e r t im e . W h ere n e c e s s a r y j data w e r e adjusted to re m o v e fr o m
the indexes and p ercen tages of change any significant effect caused
by changes in the scope o f the survey.

In tro d u c tio n
This area is 1 of 90 in which the U.S. Department o f L a b o r 's
Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings
and related benefits on an areaw id e b a s i s . 1 In this area, data w e re ob­
tained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to rep resen tative
establishments within six broad industry div isio ns:
Manufacturing;
transportation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale
trade; r eta il trade; finance, insurance, and rea l estate; and s e r v ic e s .
M a jo r industry groups excluded fr o m these studies are government
operations and the construction and ex tra c tiv e industries. E stablish­
ments having fe w e r than a p r e s c r ib e d number of w o rk e rs are omitted
because they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations
studied to warrant inclusion.
Separate tabulations are provided for
each o f the broad industry divisions which m e e t publication c r it e r ia .
T h ese su rveys a re conducted on a sample basis because o f
the unnecessary cost involved in surveyin g all establishments. To
obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a g r e a te r proportion of
la rg e than o f small establishments is studied. In combining the data,
how ever, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s t i ­
m ates based on the establishments studied are presented, t h e r e fo r e ,
as rela tin g to all establishments in the industry grouping and area,
except fo r those below the minimum s iz e studied.
Occupations and Earnings
The occupations selected fo r study are common to a v a rie ty
of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the
follow ing types:
(1) O ffice c le r ic a l; (2) p ro fessio n a l and technical;
(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m a te r ia l m o v e ­
ment.
Occupational c la ssifica tio n is based on a uniform set o f job
descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation
in duties within the same job.
The occupations sele cted for study
are listed and d escribed in the appendix. Unless otherwise indicated,
the earnings data followin g the job titles are fo r all industries c o m ­
bined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described,
or fo r some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented
in the A - s e r i e s tables, because either (1) employment in the occupa­
tion is too small to provide enough data to m e r i t presentation, or
(2) th ere is p o s sib ility of d isclo su re of individual establishment data.
Earnings data not shown separately fo r industry divisions are included
in all industries combined data, w here shown.
L ik e w is e , data are
included in the o v e r a ll c la ssifica tio n when a subclassification o f s e c ­
r e t a r ie s or tr u c k d r iv e r s is not shown o r information to subclassify
is not available.
' Included in the 90 areas are four studies conducted under contract with the New York State
Department o f Labor. These areas are Binghamton (N ew York portion only); Rochester (o ffic e occupa­
tions only); Syracuse; and U tica —Rom e. In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies
in 65 areas at the request o f the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.




Occupational employment and earnings data are shown fo r
fu ll- tim e w orkers, i.e ., those hired to work a regu lar weekly schedule.
Earnings data exclude prem iu m pay fo r o v e rtim e and for work on
weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
Nonproduction bonuses are e x ­
cluded, but c o s t - o f - liv in g allowances and incentive earnings are in ­
cluded.2 Where w eekly hours are reported, as for o ffice c le r ic a l occu­
pations, r e fe r e n c e is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest
half hour) fo r which em ployees r e c e iv e their regular straight-tim e
sa la ries (e x clu sive o f pay fo r o v e r t im e at regular and/or premiu m
ra tes).
A v e r a g e w eekly earnings for these occupations have been
rounded to the n earest half dolla r.
T h ese surveys m easu re the le v e l of occupational earnings in
an a rea at a p articular tim e. Comparisons of individual occupational
a vera ges o v e r tim e m ay not r e fle c t expected wage changes.
The
a vera ges for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and
employment patterns. F o r example, proportions of w o rk ers employed
by high- o r lo w -w a g e fir m s m ay change or hig h-wage w orkers may
advance to better jobs and be repla ced by new w o rk e rs at low er rates.
Such shifts in employment could d e crea se an occupational average even
though m ost establishments in an area in crease wages during the year.
Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table 2, are
better indicators o f wage trends than individual jobs within the groups.
The a vera ges presented r e fle c t composite, areawide e s t i­
m ates.
Industries and establishments d iffe r in pay le v e l and job
staffing and, thus, contribute d iffe re n tly to the estim ates fo r each job.
The pay relationship obtainable fr o m the averages m ay fail to r e fle c t
accurately the wage spread o r d ifferen tia l maintained among jobs in
individual establishments. Sim ilarly, d ifferen ces in a vera g e pay le vels
fo r men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be
assumed to r e fle c t d iffe re n c e s in pay treatment of the sexes within
individual establishments.
Other possib le factors which may con­
tribute to d iffe re n c e s in pay for men and women include: D ifferences
in p r o g r e s s io n within established rate ranges, since only the actual
rates paid incumbents are collected; and differen ces in specific duties
p e r fo r m e d , although the w o rk e rs are cla s s ifie d appropria tely within
the same survey job descriptio n. Job descriptions used in classifying
em ployees in these surveys are usually m o r e g e n era lized than those
used in individual establishments and allow for m inor differen ces
among establishments in the specific duties p erfo rm ed .
Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in all
establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actu­
ally surveyed. Because o f d ifferen ces in occupational structure among
establishments, the estimates of occupational employment obtained

Special payments provided for work in designated parts o f the area by companies not con­
sidering such payments a part o f the regular salary or hourly rate w ere not included because o f re­
porting problems.
Such instances are few and do not have a large im pact on the published data.

2
fr o m the sample of establishments studied s e r v e only to indicate
the r ela tive im portance o f the jobs studied.
These d iffe re n c e s in
occupational structure do not affect m a t e r ia lly the a ccu racy o f the
earnings data.
Establishment P r a c t ic e s and Supplementary Wage P ro v is io n s
Info rm atio n is presented (in the B - s e r i e s tables) on selected
establishment p ra c tic e s and supplementary wage p rovision s as they
relate to plant- and o ffic e w o r k e r s .
Data fo r industry divisions not
presented sep arately are included in the estim ates for " a l l in d u stries."
A d m in istra tive, executive, and p ro fe s s io n a l em ployees, and construc­
tion w o rk e rs who are utilized as a separate work fo rc e are excluded.
" P la n t w o r k e r s " include working fo r e m e n and all n onsupervisory w o r k ­
ers (including leadmen and tra in e e s ) engaged in nonoffice functions.
" O f f i c e w o r k e r s " include w o r k i n g s u p e rv is o rs and nonsupervis ory
w o rk ers p e rfo rm in g c le r ic a l or rela ted functions. C a fe te r ia w o rk ers
and routemen are excluded in manufacturing industries, but included
in nonmanufacturing industries.
Minim um entrance s a la r ie s fo r women o ffic e w o r k e r s (table
B - l ) relate only to the establishments vis ite d . Because of the optimum
sampling techniques used, and the p robability that la rg e estab lish ­
ments are m o r e lik e ly to have fo r m a l entrance rates fo r w o rk ers
above the s u b clerica l le v e l than sm all establishments, the table is
m o r e - r e p r e s e n t a t i v e of p o lic ie s in medium and la r g e establishments.
Shift d iffe re n tia l data (table B -2) a re lim ited to plantworkers
in manufacturing industries.
This inform ation is presented both in
t e r m s o f (1) establishment p o l i c y , 3 presented in t e r m s of total plantw o rk e r employment, and (2) e ffe c t iv e p ra c tic e , presented in t e rm s
of w o rk e rs actu ally em ployed on the s p ecified shift at the tim e of the
survey.
In establishments having v a r ie d d iffe re n tia ls , the amount
applying to a m a jo r it y was used o r , i f no amount applied to a m a jo r ity ,
the c la ssifica tio n " o t h e r " was used. In establishments in which some
la te -s h ift hours a re paid at norm al rates, a d ifferen tia l was record ed
only i f it applied to a m a j o r i t y of the shift hours.
The scheduled w eek ly hours and days (table B -3 ) of a m a ­
j o r i t y of the f i r s t - s h i f t w o r k e r s in an establishment a re tabulated as
applying to all o f the plant- or o ffic e w o r k e r s of that establishment.
Scheduled w eekly hours and days are those which a m a jo r it y of fu ll­
tim e em ployees w e r e expected to work, whether they w e r e paid for at
s tra igh t-tim e o r o v e r t im e rates.
Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pen­
sion plans (tables B -4 through B -6 ) are treated statistically on the
basis that these are applicable to all plant- or o ffic e w o r k e r s i f a

m a jo r it y o f such w o rk e rs a re e lig ib le or m a y eventually qualify for
the p ra c tic e s listed. Sums of individual item s in tables B-2 through
B-6 m a y not equal totals because of rounding.
Data on paid holidays (table B -4 ) a re lim ited to data on h o li­
days granted annually on a fo r m a l basis; i.e ., (1) a re provided fo r in
w ritten fo rm , or (2) have been established by custom. Holidays o r d i ­
n a rily granted are included even though they m ay fall on a nonworkday
and the w o r k e r is not granted another day off. The f i r s t part of the
paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays
actually granted.
The second part com bines whole and half holidays
to show total holiday t i m e .
The sum m ary of vacation plans (table B -5 ) is lim ited to a
statistical m e a s u re of vacation pro v is io n s .
It is not intended as a
m e a s u re of the p roportion of w o r k e r s actually r e c e iv in g specific bene­
fits.
P r o v is io n s of an establishment fo r all lengths o f s e r v i c e w e r e
tabulated as applying to all plant- o r o ffic e w o r k e r s of the estab lish ­
ment, r e g a r d le s s o f length of s e r v ic e .
P r o v is io n s fo r payment on
other than a tim e basis w e r e converted to a tim e basis; fo r example,
a payment of 2 percent o f annual earnings was considered as the equiv­
alent of 1 w eek 's pay. Only basic plans are included. Estim ates e x ­
clude vacation bonus and vacation-savings plans and those which o ffe r
"exten d ed " or "s a b b a tic a l" benefits beyond basic plans with qualifying
lengths of s e r v i c e . Such exclusions are typical in the steel, aluminum,
and can industries.
Data on health, insurance, and pension plans (table B-6) in ­
clude those plans fo r which the e m p lo y e r pays at least a part of the
cost. Such plans include those underw ritten by a c o m m e r c ia l insurance
company and those provided through a union fund o r paid d ir e c tly by
the e m p lo y e r out of current operatin g funds or fr o m a fund set aside
fo r this purpose. An establishment was considered to have a plan if
the m a jo r it y of em p loyees was elig ib le to be c o v e re d under the plan,
even i f less than a m a jo r it y elected to particip ate because em ployees
w e re requ ired to contribute tow ard the cost o f the plan. L e g a lly r e ­
quired plans, such as w ork m en 's compensation, social security, and
ra ilro a d r e tir e m e n t w e r e excluded.
Sickness and accident insurance is lim ite d to that type of in ­
surance under which p re d e te rm in e d cash payments a re made d ire c tly
to the insured during t e m p o r a r y illn ess or accident disability. I n f o r ­
mation is presented fo r all such plans to which the e m p lo y e r contrib­
utes.
H ow e v e r, in New Y o r k and N ew J e r s e y , which have enacted
t e m p o r a r y disability insurance laws which re q u ire e m p lo y e r contribu­
t io n s , 4 plans a re included only i f the e m p lo y e r (1) contributes m o r e
than is le g a lly required, o r (2) p rovid es the em p loyee with benefits
which exceed the requirem ents o f the law.

A n establishment was considered as having a p o licy i f it m et either o f the follow in g condi­
tions: (1 ) Operated late shifts at the tim e o f the survey, or (2 ) had form al provisions covering late
4
shifts. An establishment was considered as having form al provisions if it (1 ) had operated late shifts

during the 12 months prior to the survey, or (2 ) had provisions in written form for operating la te shifts.

Separate tabulations are presented according to (1) plans
which provide full pay and no waiting period , and (2) plans which p r o ­

Payments m a y be at full o r partial pay but are almost always r e ­
duced by social security, w o rk m en 's compensation, and private pension
benefits payable to the disabled em ployee.
M a jo r m e d ic a l insurance includes those plans which are d e ­
signed to protect em ployees in case o f sickness and injury involving
expenses beyond the c o v e r a g e of basic hospitalization, m edical, and
