Preface
The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual occupa
tional wage surveys in metropolitan areas is designed to provide data
on occupational earnings, and establishment practices and supplemen
tary wage provisions. It yields detailed data by selected industry
division for each of the areas studied, for geographic regions, and
for the United States. A major consideration in the program is the
need for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages by occupa
tional category and skill level, and (2) the structure and level of
wages among areas and industry divisions.
At the end of each survey, an individual area bulletin pre
sents the results. After completion of all individual area bulletins
for a round of surveys, two summary bulletins are issued. The first
brings data for each of the metropolitan areas studied into one bulletin.
The second presents information which has been projected from indi
vidual metropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and the
United States.
Ninety-four areas currently are included in the program. In
each area, information on occupational earnings is collected annually
and on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
biennially.
This bulletin presents results of the survey in Huntsville,
Ala., in February 1972. The Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area,
as defined by the Office of Management and Budget (formerly the
Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of Limestone
and Madison Counties. This study was conducted by the Bureau's
regional office in Atlanta, Ga., under the general direction of Donald M.
Cruse, Assistant Regional Director for Operations.

In tro d u c tio n
This area is 1 of 90 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's
Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings
and related benefits on an areawide basis.1 In this area, data were ob
tained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to representative
establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing;
transportation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale
trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services.
Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government
operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establish
ments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted
because they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations
studied to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided for
each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.
These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of
the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishments. To
obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of
large than of small establishments is studied. In combining the data,
however, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. Esti
mates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore,
as relating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area,
except for those below the minimum size studied.
Occupations and Earnings
The occupations selected for study are common to a variety
of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the
following types: (1) Office clerical; (2) professional and technical;
(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material move
ment. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job
descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation
in duties within the same job. The occupations selected for study
are listed and described in the appendix. Unless otherwise indicated,
the earnings data following the job titles are for all industries com
bined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described,
or for some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented
in the A-series tables, because either (1) employment in the occupa
tion is too small to provide enough data to merit presentation, or
(2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included
in all industries combined data, where shown. Likewise, data are
included in the overall classification when a subclassification of sec
retaries or truckdrivers is not shown or information to subclassify
is not available.
Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for
full-time workers, i.e., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule.
Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on
weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are ex
cluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive earnings are in
cluded. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occu
pations, reference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest
half hour) for which employees receive their regular straight-time
salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium
rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations have been
rounded to the nearest half dollar.
These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in
an area at a particular time. Comparisons of individual occupational
averages over time may not reflect expected wage changes. The
averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and
employment patterns. For example, proportions of workers employed
by high- or low-wage firms may change or high-wage workers may
advance to better jobs and be replaced by new workers at lower rates.
Such shifts in employment could decrease an occupational average even
though most establishments in an area increase wages during the year.
Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table 2, are
better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups.
The averages presented reflect composite, areawide esti
mates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job
staffing and, thus, contribute differently to the estimates for each job.
The pay relationship obtainable from the averages may fail to reflect
accurately the wage spread or differential maintained among jobs in
individual establishments. Similarly, differences in average pay levels
for men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be
assumed to reflect differences in pay treatment of the sexes within
individual establishments. Other possible factors which may con
tribute to differences in pay for men and women include: Differences
in progression within established rate ranges, since only the actual
rates paid incumbents are collected; and differences in specific duties
performed, although the workers are classified appropriately within
the same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying
employees in these surveys are usually more generalized than those
used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences
among establishments in the specific duties performed.

Included in the 94 areas are eight studies conducted by the Bureau under contract.

areas are Binghamton, N .Y . (New York portion only); Durham, N. C . ; Fort Lauderdale—Hollywood and

from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate
the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in
occupational structure do not affect materially the accuracy of the
earnings data.
Establishment Practices and Supplementary W
age Provisions
Information is presented (in the B-series tables) on selected
establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions as they
relate to plant- and officeworkers. Data for industry divisions not
presented separately are included in the estimates for "all industries."
Administrative, executive, and professional employees, and construc
tion workers who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded.
"Plantworkers" include working foremen and all nonsupervisory work
ers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions.
"Officeworkers" include working supervisors and nonsupervisory
workers performing clerical or related functions. Cafeteria workers
and routemen are excluded in manufacturing industries, but included
in nonmanufacturing industries.
Minimum entrance salaries for women officeworkers (table
B-l) relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum
sampling techniques used, and the probability that large establish
ments are more likely to have formal entrance rates for workers
above the subclerical level than small establishments, the table is
more representative of policies in medium and large establishments.
Shift differential data (table B-2) are limited to plantworkers
in manufacturing industries. This information is presented both in
terms of (1) establishment policy, 2 presented in terms of total plantworker employment, and (2) effective practice, presented in terms
of workers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the
survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount
applying to a majority was used or, if no amount applied to a majority,
the classification "other" was used. In establishments in which some
late-shift hours are paid at normal rates, a differential was recorded
only if it applied to a majority of the shift hours.
The scheduled weekly hours and days (table B-3) of a ma
jority of the first-shift workers in an establishment are tabulated as
applying to all of the plant- or officeworkers of that establishment.
Scheduled weekly hours and days are those which a majority of full
time employees were expected to work, whether they were paid for at
straight-time or overtime 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 officeworkers if a
majority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify for
the practices listed. Sums of individual items in tables B-2 through
B-6 may not equal totals because of rounding.
Data on paid holidays (table B-4) are limited to data on holi
days granted annually on a formal basis; i.e., (1) are provided for in
written form, or (2) have been established by custom. Holidays ordi
narily granted are included even though they may fall on a nonworkday
and the worker is not granted another day off. The first part of the
paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays
actually granted. The second part combines whole and half holidays
to show total holiday time.
The summary of vacation plans (table B-5) is limited to a
statistical measure of vacation provisions. It is not intended as a
measure of the proportion of workers actually receiving specific bene
fits. Provisions of an establishment for all lengths of service were
tabulated as applying to all plant- or officeworkers of the establish
ment, regardless of length of service. Provisions for payment on
other than a time basis were converted to a time basis; for example,
a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equiv
alent of 1 week's pay. Only basic plans are included. Estimates ex
clude vacation bonus and vacation-savings plans and those which offer
"extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans with qualifying
lengths of service. 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 for which the employer pays at least a part of the
cost. Such plans include those underwritten by a commercial insurance
company and those provided through a union fund or paid directly by
the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside
for this purpose. An establishment was considered to have a plan if
the majority of employees was eligible to be covered under the plan,
even if less than a majority elected to participate because employees
were required to contribute toward the cost of the plan. Legally re
quired plans, such as workmen's compensation, social security, and
railroad retirement were excluded.
Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of in
surance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly
to the insured during temporary illness or accident disability. Infor
mation is presented for all such plans to which the employer contrib
utes. However, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted
temporary disability insurance laws which require employer contribu
tions, 3 plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes more
than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits
which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of paid sick

proportion of the worker's pay during absence from work because of

which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans which pro
vide either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presen
tation of the proportions of workers who are provided sickness and
accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown
of workers who receive either or both types of benefits.
the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits.
Payments may be at full or partial pay but are almost always re
duced by social security, workmen's compensation, and private pension
benefits payable to the disabled employee.
Major medical insurance includes those plans which are de
signed to protect employees in case of sickness and injury involving
expenses beyond the coverage of basic hospitalization, medical, and
surgical plans. Medical insurance refers to plans providing for com
Long-term disability plans provide payments to totally dis
plete or partial payment of doctors' fees. Dental insurance usually
