Introduction
This area is 1 of 82 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. 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 frofn 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.
A -series tables
Tables A - l 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 31 largest survey areas, tables A - l a
through A -6 a provide similar data for establishments employing 500
workers or more.
Following the occupational wage tables is table A - 7 which
provides percent changes in average earnings of office clerical work­
ers, electronic data processing workers, industrial nurses, skilled




maintenance workers, and unskilled plant workers. This measure of
wage trends eliminates changes in average earnings caused by employ­
ment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments
included in survey samples. Where possible, data are presented for all
industries, manufacturing, and nonmanufacturing. Appendix A discusses
this wage trend measure.
B -se r ie s tables
The B -series tables present information on minimum entrance
salaries for office workers; 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.
Appendixes
This bulletin has two appendixes. Appendix A describes the
methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program. It provides
information on the scope of the area survey and information on the area's
industrial composition in manufacturing. It also provides information
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.

1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which em ployees receive their regular straigh t-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime
at regular a n d /o r prem ium r a tes), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of w orkers. The median
designates position— half of the employees surveyed receive m ore and half receive le s s than the rate shown. The middle range is defined
by two rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn m ore than the higher rate.
3
ex clu d es prem ium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
4 These sa la rie s relate to form ally established minim um starting (hiring) regular straigh t-tim e salaries that are paid for standard
workweeks.
5 Excludes w orkers in subclerical jobs such as m essen g er.
6
Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the m o st common standard workweeks reported.
7 Includes a ll plant w orkers in establishments currently operating late sh ifts, and establishments whose form al provisions cover late
sh ifts, even though the establishm ents Were not currently operating late shifts.
8 L e s s than 0.05 percent.
9 L e s s than 0.5 percent.
10 F o r 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 l l 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 w ere cumulated.
12 A C hristm as—New Y ear holiday period is an unbroken series of holidays which includes C hristm as Eve, Christm as Day, New Y e a r 's
E ve, and New Y e a r 's Day.
Such a holiday period is common in the automobile, aerospace, and fa rm im plem ent industries.
13 '■Floating" holidays vary from year to year according to em ployer or em ployee 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 s is ; 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 e c e ssa r ily reflect individual provisions for progression ; for exam ple, changes in proportions at 10 y ears include changes between
5 and 10 y e a r s . E stim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 w eeks' pay after 10 y ears includes those eligible for
at lea st 3 w eeks' pay after few er years of service.
15 E stim 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
p la n s" include only those financed entirely by the em ployer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as w orkm en's compensation, social
security, and railroad retirem ent.
18 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are
lim ited to those which definitely establish at least the minim um number of days' pay that each employee can expect. Inform al sick leave
allowances determ ined on an individual basis are excluded.

1 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the following conditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the time of the
survey, or (2) had formal provisions covering late shifts. An establishment was considered as having formal 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 employer contributions.
® An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the minimum number of days sick leave available to each
employee.
Such a plan need not be written; but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, are excluded.
