The fact that four industry divisions improved their relative position and only one (services
declined slightly is explained by an employment shift over the 13-year span. Employment of
unskilled plant workers declined in the highest paying industries—manufacturing and public utilities—
and increased in the lowest paying—services.
This shift in employment depressed average earnings
for all industries combined—the basis of industry comparison. Earnings in each Of the industries,
except services, increased at a faster rate than earnings for all industries combined, thereby producing
the apparent anomaly.

^ Interarea pay comparisons based on average earnings in all metropolitan areas combined were
developed for the first time in 1961 (see BLS Bulletin 1285-84), and have been published annually
since then. Before 1961, comparisons were based on average earnings in New York City.

Text table 6. Distribution of areas by pay relatives, occupational group,
and region, 1973—74

A reas with highest pay relatives for all industries combined,
listed in text table 5, also were among the highest for manufacturing.
(Table A -2 6 .) As pointed out previously, these areas typically had
heavy concentrations of employment in high-paying manufacturing
industries: Detroit (automobiles), Beaumont—Port Arthur—Orange (pe­
troleum refining and chem icals), San Francisco—Oakland (fabricated
m etals, electrical machinery, and higher paying segments of the food
industry), and San Jose (electrical machinery).

Some of the areas with lowest pay relatives for all industries
combined also were among the lowest for manufacturing. Several
other areas with low pay relatives listed in text table 5. have no pay
relatives shown for manufacturing in table A -2 6 because data did not
meet publication criteria.
Pay relatives: Nonmanufacturing
Pay relatives were developed for only three occupational
groups in nonmanufacturing— office clerical, EDP, and unskilled plant
workers. (Pay relatives for skilled maintenance jobs were omitted
because relatively few of these workers are in nonmanufacturing
industries.)
Many of the areas with the highest or lowest pay relatives for
all industries combined and manufacturing had a sim ilar ranking for
nonmanufacturing. However, there were exceptions to this pattern.
In Beaumont—Port Arthum-Orange, for example, the pay relative for
unskilled plant workers in nonmanufacturing was 70, following the
pattern found in other sm all Southern areas. On the other hand, the
manufacturing relative for unskilled plant workers in the area was 107,
reflecting concentrations of workers in the high-paying petroleum
refining and chemical industries.
Average earnings for unskilled plant workers in all m etro­
politan areas combined were 9 percent lower in nonmanufacturing than
in manufacturing, whereas the spread was 5 percent for office clerical
and EDP workers. Since industry group wage levels in an area are
divided by the corresponding industry group wage levels for all areas
combined to obtain pay relatives, an area with identical average
earnings for manufacturing and nonmanufacturing will have a higher
pay relative for nonmanufacturing. This is illustrated in the following
tabulation where nationwide average earnings in manufacturing are 8
percent higher than in nonmanufacturing:

* Comparisons were not made for all occupational groups in every area because some data
did not meet publication criteria.

Pay relatives; Manufacturing
Area pay relatives for manufacturing in 1973—74 were sim ilar
to those for all industries combined. The similarity was greater for
skilled maintenance workers than for office workers, EDP workers,
or unskilled plant workers. This is as expected because about fou rfifths of the skilled maintenance workers covered by the area wage
surveys are in manufacturing. Miami, with only about one-third of its
skilled maintenance workers in manufacturing, was an exception. In
Miami, skilled maintenance workers in manufacturing had a pay r e l­
ative of 86, compared with 93 for all industries combined.
