AREA WAGE SURVEY N e w O rle a n s , L o u is ia n a , M e tr o p o lita n A re a , J a n u a ry 1 9 7 4 Bulletin 1795-15 Dayton & Montgomery Co, " P ublic Library DEC181974 DOCUMENT COLLECTS : U S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR _ Bureau of Labor Statistics ANNOUNCEMENT Beginning with the 1795 series, Area Wage Surveys will be issued as bulletins (for sale) only every third year. These bulletins will contain information on establishment practices and supplementary benefits as well as earnings. In the interim years, supplements containing data on earnings only will be issued free. Supplements can be obtained from BLS Regional Offices listed on the back cover of this publication. Preface This bulletin provides results of a January 1974 survey of occupational earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the New Orleans, Louisiana, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard, and St. Tammany Parishes). The survey was made as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual area wage survey program. The program is designed to yield data for individual metropolitan areas, as well as national and regional estimates for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. A major consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to describe level and movement of wages in a variety of labor markets, through the analysis of (1) the level and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level. The program develops information that may be used for many purposes, including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and assistance in determining plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S. Department of Labor to make .wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965. Currently, 94 areas are included in the program. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data are collected annually. Information on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits, collected every second year in the past, is now obtained every third year. Results of the next two annual surveys, providing earnings data only, will be issued as free supplements to this bulletin. The supplements may be obtained from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover for addresses.) Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been completed, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed. The second summary bulletin presents national and regional estimates, projected from individual metropolitan area data. The New Orleans survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Dallas, T ex., under the general direction of Boyd B. O'Neal, Associate Assistant Regional Director for Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the many firm s whose wage and salary data provided the basis for the statistical information in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to express sincere appreciation for the cooperation received. Note: Current reports on occupational earnings and supplementary wage provisions are available for the laundry and dry cleaning (January 1974) and moving and storage (January 1974) industries. Also available for the New Orleans area are listings of union wage rates for building trades, printing trades, local-transit operating employees, local truckdrivers and helpers, and grocery store employees. Free copies of these are available from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover for addresses.) AREA W AGE SURVEY B u lle tin 1795-15 U.S. D E P A R T M E N T OF LABOR, Peter J.

In this area, data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to representative estab lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transpor tation, 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. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria. plant workers. The first of these, table A -7 , m easures changes in average earnings of the four occupational groups over tim e. Where possible, data are presented for all industries and manufacturing. Table A -8 presents another measure of wage movements. The percents of change reported for the occupational groups are computed to eliminate changes in average earnings caused by employment shifts among estab lishments as well as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. Where possible, data also are presented for nonmanufacturing. Appendix A discusses more fully differences between these tables. B -se r ie s tables The B -se r ie s tables present information on minimum entrance salaries for office w orkers; late-shift pay provisions and practices for plant workers in manufacturing; and data separately for plant and office workers on scheduled weekly hours and days of first-sh ift workers; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans. A -s e r ie s tables Tables A - 1 through A -6 provide estimates of straight-time hourly or weekly earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupations were selected from the following categories: (a) Office clerical, (b) pro fessional and technical, (c) maintenance and powerplant, and (d) custodial and material movement. In the 22 largest survey areas, tables A - l a through A -6 a provide similar data for establishments employing 500 workers or m ore. Appendixes This bulletin has two appendixes. Appendix A describes the methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program and provides information on the scope of the area survey. It also provides infor mation on labor-management agreement coverage. Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify workers in occupations for which straight-time earnings information is presented. Following the occupational wage tables are two tables providing indexes and percents of change in average earnings of office clerical workers, industrial nurses, skilled maintenance workers, and unskilled 2 A.

The median designates position— half of the em ployees surveyed receive m ore and half receive le ss than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn le ss than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn m ore than the higher rate. 3 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. 4 These salaries relate to form ally established minimum starting (hiring) regular straight-tim e salaries that are paid for standard workweeks. 5 Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as m essenger. 6 Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the m ost common standard workweeks reported. 7 Includes all plant workers in establishments currently operating late sh ifts, and establishments whose form al provisions cover late shifts, even though the establishments were not currently operating late shifts. 8 L ess than 0.05 percent. 9 L ess than 0.5 percent. 10 For purposes of this study, pay for a Sunday in D ecem ber, negotiated in the automobile industry, is not treated as a paid holiday. 11 A ll combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; for exam ple, the proportion of workers receiving a total of 9 days includes those with 9 full days and no half days, 8 full days and 2 half days, 7 full days and 4 half days, and so on. Proportions then were cumulated. 12 These days are provided as part of a Christmas—New Y ea r holiday period which typically begins with Christm as Eve and ends with New Y e a r 's Day. Such a holiday period is common in the automobile, aerospace, and farm implement industries. 13 "F lo a tin g " holidays vary from year to year according to em ployer or employee choice. 14 Includes payments other than "length of t i m e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or fla t-su m paym ents, converted to an equivalent tim e b a sis; for exam ple, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 w eek's pay. Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily and do not n ecessa rily reflect individual provisions for progression; for exam ple, changes in proportions at 10 years include changes between 5 and 10 y e a rs. Estim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 w eeks' pay after 10 years includes those eligible for at least 3 w eeks' pay after fewer years of service. 15 Estim ates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the em ployer. "Noncontributory plan s" include only those financed entirely by the em ployer.

An establishment was considered as having form al provisions if it (1) had operated late shifts during the 12 months before the survey, or (2 ) had provisions in written form to operate late shifts. 4 The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require em ployer contributions. 5 A n establishment is considered as having a form al plan if it established at least the m inim um number o f days sick leave available to each em ployee. Such a plan need not be written; but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, are excluded.
