AREA WAGE SURVEY
Daytona Beach, Florida, Metropolitan Area
August 1975
Bulletin 1850-47




U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
_
Bureau of Labor Statistics




P re fa c e
This bulletin provides results of an August 1975 survey of occupational earnings in
the Daytona Beach, Florida, Standard Metropolitan Statistical A re a (Volusia County), 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 w ell as national
and regional estimates for all Standard Metropolitan Ststistical A reas in the United States,
excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
A major consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to describe the
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, 83 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 is obtained every third year.
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 Daytona Beach survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Atlanta,
G a„ under the general direction of Donald M. Cruse, 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.

and material movement. In the 31 largest survey areas, tables A - la
through A -6 a provide sim ilar data for establishments employing 500
workers or more.

This area is 1 of 83 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 ob­
tained by a combination of personal visit, m ail questionnaire, and
telephone interview. Representative establishments within six broad
industry divisions were contacted: Manufacturing; transportation, com­
munication, and other other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail
trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. M ajor 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.

Following the occupational wage tables is table A - 7 which
provides percent changes in average earnings of office clerical w ork­
ers, electronic data processing w orkers, 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 w ell as turnover of establishments
included in survey samples. Where possible, data are presented fo r all
industries, manufacturing, and nonmanufacturing. Appendix A discusses
this wage trend measure.

A -se rie s tables

Appendixes

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

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 survey. Appendix B provides
job descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify w orkers in
occupations for which straight-time earnings information is presented.
