NOT E : The percent increases presented in this table 'are based on changes in average
hourly earnings for establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous
year (matched establishments). They are not affected by changes in average earnings
resulting from employment shifts among establishments or turnover of establishments
Included in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by factors
other than wage increases. Hirings, layoffs, and turnover m a y affect an establishment
average for an occupation when workers are paid under plans providing a range of wage rates
for individual jobs. In periods of increased hiring, for example, new employees enter at the
bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates.
These wage trends are not linked to the wage indexes previously published for this
area because the wage indexes measured changes in area averages, whereas these wage
trends measure changes in matched establishment averages. Other characteristics of these
wage trends which differ from the discontinued indexes include (1) earnings data of office
clerical workers and industrial nurses are converted to an hourly basis, (2) trend estimates
are provided for nonmanufacturing establishments, where possible, and (3) trend estimates
are provided for electronic data processing jobs.
For a more detailed description of the method used to compute these wage trends, see
"Improving Area W age Survey Indexes," Monthly Labor Review, January ^1973, pp. 52-57.
