Preface

Contents
Page

The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual
occupational wage surveys in metropolitan areas is de­
signed to provide data on occupational earnings, and estab­
lishment practices and supplementary wage provisions.
It
yields detailed data by selected industry division for each
of the areas studied, for geographic regions, and for the
United States.
A major consideration in the program is
the need for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages
by occupational category and skill level, and (2) the struc­
ture and level of wages among areas and industry divisions.
At the end of each survey, an individual area bul­
letin presents survey results for each area studied.
After
completion of all of the individual area bulletins for a
round of surveys, a two-part summary bulletin is issued.
The first part brings data for each of the metropolitan
areas studied into one bulletin. The second part presents
information which has been projected from individual m et­
ropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and the
United States.

❖ NOTE: The Baltimore Standard Metropolitan Statis­
tical Area was defined by the Bureau of the Budget in 1959
as the city of Baltimore; and the counties of Anne Arundel,
Baltimore, C arroll, and Howard, Md. The area definition,
as amended through April 1967, includes the addition of
Harford County, Md.
This survey, conducted in October
1967, is the first to include this additional county.
The
increase in employment within scope of the survey was
not significant.
The additional county contributed about
2 percent of the total number of workers.
About fourfifths of the added workers were employed in manufacturing
establishments.

This bulletin presents results of the survey in
Baltim ore, Md. , in October 1967.
The Standard M etro­
politan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the
Budget through April 1967, consists of the city of Balti­
m ore; and the counties of Anne Arundel, Baltimore, C arroll, Harford, and Howard.
This study was conducted
in the Bureau's regional office in New York, N. Y ., Herbert
Bienstock, Director.
The study was under the general
direction of Frederick W. Mueller, Assistant Regional
Director of Operations.

Similar tabulations are available
(See inside back cover.)

for other areas.

Current reports on occupational earnings and supple­
mentary wage provisions in the Baltimore area are also
available for life insurance (October 1966), hospitals (July
1966), the machinery industries (June 1966), and men's
and boys' suits and coats (April 1967); and on earnings
only for selected food service occupations (October 1967).
Union scales, indicative of prevailing pay levels, are
available for building construction; printing; local-transit
operating employees; and motortruck d riv ers, helpers, and
allied occupations.

Area Wage Survey---The Baltimore, Md., Metropolitan Area
Introduction
This area is 1 of 86 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.

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for
fu ll-tim e w orkers, i .e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule
in the given occupational classification.
Earnings data exclude pre­
mium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late
shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but co st-of-liv in g allow­
ances and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are
reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is to the stand­
ard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees
receive their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings
for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar.

This bulletin presents current occupational employment and
earnings information obtained largely by mail from the establishments
visited by Bureau field economists in the last previous survey for
occupations reported in that earlier study. Personal visits were made
to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes
since the previous survey.
In each area, data are obtained from representative estab­
lishm ents within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; trans­
portation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade;
retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and serv ices. Major
industry groups excluded from these studies are government opera­
tions and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments
having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because
they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied
to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the
broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.

The averages presented reflect composite, areawide esti­
m ates.
Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job
staffing and, thus, contribute differently to the estim ates for each job.
The pay relationship obtainable from the averages may fail to reflect
accurately the wage spread or differential maintained among jobs in
individual establishm ents. Sim ilarly, differences in average pay levels
for men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be
assum ed to reflect differences in pay treatment of the sexes within
individual establishm ents. Other possible factors which may contrib­
ute to differences in pay for men and women include: Differences in
progression within established rate ranges, since only the actual rates
paid incumbents are collected; and differences in specific duties per­
form ed, although the workers are classified appropriately within the
same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying em ­
ployees in these surveys are usually more generalized than those used
in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among
establishments in the specific duties perform ed.

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of
the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishm ents.
To
obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of
large than of sm all establishments is studied. In combining the data,
however, all establishm ents are given their appropriate weight. E s ­
tim ates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore,
as relating to all establishm ents in the industry grouping and area,
except for those below the minimum size studied.

Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in all
establishments within the scope of the study and not the number ac­
tually surveyed.
Because of differences in occupational structure
among establishm ents, the estim ates of occupational employment ob­
tained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate
the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occu­
pational structure do not affect m aterially the accuracy of the earn­
ings data.

Occupations and Earnings
The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the follow­
ing types: (1) Office clerica l; (2) professional and technical; (3) m ain­
tenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material movement. O c­
cupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions
designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within
the same job. The occupations selected for study are listed and de­
scribed in the appendix. The earnings data following the job titles are
for all industries combined. Earnings data for some of the occupations
listed and described, or for some industry divisions within occupations,
are not presented in the A -s e r ie s tables because either (1) em ploy­
ment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit
presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual e s ­
tablishm ent data.




Establishment P ractices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supple­
mentary wage provisions (B -s e r ie s tables) are not presented in this
bulletin.
Information for these tabulations is collected biennially.
These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced
women office w orkers; shift differentials; scheduled weekly hours; paid
holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are
presented (in the B -s e r ie s tables) in previous bulletins for this area.

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups
Presented in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change
in average salaries of office clerical workers and industrial nurses,
and in average earnings of selected plant worker groups. The indexes
are a measure of wages at a given time, expressed as a percent of
wages during the base period (date of the area survey conducted
between July I960 and June 1961).
Subtracting 100 from the index
yields the percentage change in wages from the base period to the
date of the index.
The percentages of change or increase relate to
wage changes between the indicated dates.
These estimates are
m easures of change in averages for the area; they are not intended
to measure average pay changes in the establishments in the area.

in the occupational group. These constant weights reflect base year
employments wherever possible.
The average (mean) earnings for
each occupation were multiplied by the occupational weight, and the
products for all occupations in the group were totaled. The aggregates
for 2 consecutive years were related by dividing the aggregate for
the later year by the aggregate for the earlier year. The resultant
relative, less 100 percent, shows the percentage change. The index
is the product of multiplying the base year relative (100) by the relative
for the next succeeding year and continuing to multiply (compound)
each year’ s relative by the previous year's index. Average earnings
for the following occupations were used in computing the wage trends:

For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the wage
trends relate to regular weekly salaries for the normal workweek,
exclusive of earnings for overtime. For plant worker groups, they
measure changes in average straight-time hourly earnings, excluding
premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts. The percentages are based on data for selected key occu­
pations and include most of the numerically important jobs within
each group.

Changes in the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the
occupational averages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable
that even though all establishments in an area gave wage increases,
average wages may have declined because lower-paying establishments
entered the area or expanded their work forces. Similarly, wages
may have remained relatively constant, yet the averages for an area
may have risen considerably because higher-paying establishments
entered the area.

Limitations of Data
The indexes and percentages of change, as measures of
change in area averages, are influenced by: (1) general salary and
wage changes, (2) merit or other increases in pay received by indi­
vidual workers while in the same job, and (3) changes in average
wages due to changes in the labor force resulting from labor turn­
over, force expansions, force reductions, and changes in the propor­
tions of workers employed by establishments with different pay levels.




The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effect
of changes in the proportion of workers represented in each job in­
cluded in the data. The percentages of change reflect only changes
in average pay for straight-time hours.
They are not influenced by
changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by premium pay
for overtime. Where necessary, data were adjusted to remove from
the indexes and percentages of change any significant effect caused
by changes in the scope of the survey.

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureaus wage surveys is to assist its field
staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles
and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This permits
the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions may
differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In
applying these job descriptions, the Bureaus field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors;
apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.

duties which are not typical of secretarial work.
NOTE: The term "corporate officer," used in the level definitions
following, refers to those officials who have a significant corporate-wide
policymaking role with regard to major company activities.
The title
"vice president," though normally indicative of this role, does n o tin all
cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose primary responsibility
is to act personally on individual cases or transactions (e. g. , approve or
deny individual loan or credit actions; administer individual trust accounts;
directly supervise a clerical staff) are not considered to be "corporate
