Preface
This bulletin provides results of an August 1979 survey of occupa­
tional earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Baltim ore, Maryland,
Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea. The survey was made as part of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual area wage survey program.
It was
conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Philadelphia, Pa., under the
general direction of Irwin L . Feigenbaum, Assistant Regional Commissioner
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.
