Occupational descriptions_____________32 Introduction This area is 1 of 72 in which the U.S. Department of L a b o r's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, earnings data for selected occupations (A -s e r ie s tables) are collected annually. Information on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits (B -s e r ie s tables) is obtained every third year. This report has no B -s e rie s tables. manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. The occupations are defined in Appendix B. F o r the 31 la rg est survey a re a s , tables A -1 0 through A -1 5 provide sim ilar data for establishments employing 500 w o rk e rs or m ore. Table A -7 provides percent changes in a v e ra g e hourly earnings of o ffice c le r ic a l w o rk ers, electronic data p rocessing w o r k e r s , industrial nurses, skilled maintenance trades w o r k e r s , and unskilled plant w o rk e rs . Where possible, data are presented fo r a ll industries and fo r manufac turing and nonmanufacturing separately. Data a r e not presented for skilled maintenance w ork ers in nonmanufacturing because the number of w o rk ers employed in this occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too sm all to warrant separate presentation. This table provides a m easu re of wage trends after elimination of changes in a v e ra g e earnings caused by e m p lo y ment shifts among establishments as w e ll as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. F o r further details, see appendix A. Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been com pleted, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and regional estimates, projected from individual metropolitan area data, for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical A re a s in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. A m ajor 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. D epart ment of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965. Tables A - 8 and A - 9 provid e fo r the f i r s t tim e m easures o f a v e ra g e pay relationships within establishments.

The median designates position— half of the w orkers receive the same or m ore and half receive the same or less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two rates of pay: a fourth of the workers earn the same or less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn the same or more than the higher rate. 3 Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was provided by the establishment. 4 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. 3 Estimates for periods ending prior to 1976 relate to men o.nly for skilled maintenance and unskilled plant w orkers. All other estimates relate to men and women. 6 Data do not meet publication criteria or data not available. 27 Appendix A. Scope and Method of Survey In each of the 72 1 areas currently surveyed, the Bureau obtains w ages and related benefits data from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and re a l estate; and serv ices. Government operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded. Establishments having fewer than a p rescrib ed number of w ork ers are also excluded because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number of establishments and w orkers estimated to Ve within the scope of this survey, as w ell as the number actually studied. Bureau field representatives obtain data by personal visits at 3 - year intervals. In each of the two intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings only is collected by a combination of personal visit, m ail questionnaire, and telephone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey. A sample of the establishments in the scope of the survey is selected for study p rio r to each personal visit survey. This sample, less estab lishments which go out of business or are no longer within the industrial scope of the survey, is retained for the following two annual surveys. In m ost cases, establishments new to the area are not considered in the scope of the survey until the selection of a sample for a personal visit survey. The sampling procedures involve detailed stratification of all estab lishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of em ployees. F rom this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment having a predetermined chance of se lection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of la rg e than sm all establishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment is weighted according to its probability of selection so that unbiased estim ates are generated. F o r example, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a weight of 4 to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the same original probability is chosen in the same in du stry-size classification if data are not available from the original sam ple m em ber. If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample m em ber that is sim ilar to the missing unit. Occupations and earnings Occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufac turing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1) Office c lerical; (2) p rofession al and technical; (3) maintenance, toolroom,* * I n c lu d e d A k ro n , O h io an d in th e 72 a re a s a re 2 s tu d ie s co n d u cted P o u g h k e e p s ie —K in g s t o n - N e w b u r g h , s Digitizedtu d ie FRASERo x im a t e ly 1 0 0 for s i n a p p r D e p a r t m e n t o f L a b o r. a re a s at th e re q u e s t N .Y . of th e by th e B u re a u In a d d it io n , E m p lo y m e n t under co n tra ct.

Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. Occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B. Unless otherwise indicated, 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 the scope of the survey, are not presented in the A -s e rie s tables because either (1) employment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Separate m en's and women's earnings data are not presented when the number of w orkers not identified by sex is 20 percent or m ore of the men or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in data for all industries combined. Likewise, for occupations with more than one level, data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification is not shown or information to subclassify is not available. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-tim e w ork ers, i.e., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly hours for office clerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). A verage weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest half dollar. V ertical lines within the distribution of w orkers on some A -tab les indicate a change in the size of the class intervals. These surveys m easure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular time. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over time may not reflect expected wage changes. The averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. For example, proportions of w orkers employed by high- or low -w age firm s may change, or high-wage w orkers may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new w orkers at low er rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an occu pational average even though most establishments in an area increase wages during the year. Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A - 7, are better indicators of wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups. A verage earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments. Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupations should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. Factors which may contribute to differences include p ro gression within established rate ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are collected) and perform ance of specific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job descriptions used to classify employees in these surveys usually are more generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in specific duties performed. Percent changes for individual areas in the program are computed as follow s: Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all estab lishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establishments differ, estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not affect m aterially the accuracy of the earnings data. 2. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its p ro portionate employment in the occupational group in the base year. 1. Average earnings are computed for each occupation for the 2 years being compared. The averages are derived from earnings in those establishments which are in the survey both years; it is assumed that employment remains unchanged. 3. These weights are used to compute group averages. Each occupation's average earnings (computed in step 1) is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to Obtain a group average. Wage trends for selected occupational groups The percent increases presented in table A -7 are based on changes in average hourly earnings of men and women in establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous year (matched establishments). The data are adjusted to remove the effects on average earnings of employ ment shifts among establishments and turnover of establishments included in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by factors other than wage increases. H irings, layoffs, and turnover may 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 may enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates. The percent changes relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. When the time span between surveys is other than 12 months, annual rates are also shown, (it is assum ed that wages increase at a constant rate between surveys.) Occupations used to compute wage trends are: Office clerical Electronic data processing— Continued Secretaries Stenographers, senior Stenographers, general Typists, classes A and B F ile clerks, classes A , B, and C M essengers Switchboard operators O rder clerks, classes A and B Accounting clerks, classes A and B P ay ro ll clerks Key entry operators, classes A and B Computer operators, classes A , B, and C Electronic data processing Computer systems analysts, classes A , B, and C Computer program m ers, classes A , B, and C Industrial nurses Registered industrial nur s e s Skilled maintenance Carpenters Electricians Painters Machinists Mechanics (m achinery) Mechanics (m otor vehicle) Pipefitters Tool and die m akers Unskilled plant Janitors, porters, and cleaners M aterial handling labo rers 4. The ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the average for the current year by the average for the earlier year. The result— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change. F or a more detailed description of the method used to compute these wage trends, see "Improving A rea Wage Survey Indexes," Monthly Labor Review , January 1973, pp. 52-57. Average pay relationships within establishments Relative measures of occupational pay are presented in table A - 8 for w hite-collar occupations and in table A -9 for b lu e -c o lla r occupations. These relative values reflect differences in pay between occupations within individual establishments. Relative pay values are computed by dividing an establishment's average earnings for an occupation being compared by the average for another occupation (designated as 100) and multiplying the quotient by 100. F o r example, if janitors in a firm average $4 an hour and forklift operators $5, forklift operators have a relative pay value of 125 compared with janitors. ($5 -4 $4 = 1.25, x 100 = 125.) In combining the relatives of the individual establishments to arrive at an overall average, each establish ment is considered to have as many relatives as it has weighted w orkers in the two jobs being compared. Pay relationships based on overall averages may differ considerably because of the varying contribution of high- and low -w age establishments to the averages. For example, the overall average hourly earnings for forklift operators may be 50 percent more than the average for janitors because the average for forklift operators may be strongly influenced by earnings in high-wage establishments while the average for janitors may be strongly influenced by earnings in low-wage establishments. In such a case, the intra-establishment relationship w ill indicate a much sm aller difference in earnings. Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions (B -s e r ie s tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Inform a tion for these tabulations is collected at 3 -year intervals. These tabulations on m i n i m u m entrance salaries for inexperienced office w orkers; shift d iffe r entials; scheduled weekly hours and days; 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.

Occupational Descriptions The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bu reau's wage surveys is to assist its field representatives in classifying into appropriate occupations w orkers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This permits grouping occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of- this em phasis 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 Bureau's field representatives are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; and parttime, tem porary, and probationary w ork ers. Handicapped w orkers whose earnings are reduced because of their handicap are also excluded. L earn ers, beginners, and trainees, unless specifically included in the job descriptions, are excluded. Office SECRETARY S E CR ET ARY— Continue d Assigned as a personal secretary, norm ally to one individual. Main tains a close and highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activities of the supervisor. W orks fairly independently receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance. P erfo rm s varied clerical and secretarial duties requiring a knowledge of office routine and understanding of the organization, program s, and procedures related to the work of the supervisor. Exclusions-— Continued a. Positions which do not meet the "person al" secretary concept described above; b. Stenographers not fully trained in secretarial-type duties; c. Stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of p ro fessional, technical, or m anagerial persons; d. A ssist ant-type positions which entail more difficult or more responsible technical, administrative, or supervisory duties which are not typical of secretarial work, e.g., Administrative Assistant, or Executive Assistant: Positions which do not fit any of the situations listed in the sections below titled "L e v e l of S u p e rv is o r," e.g., secretary to the president of a company that em ploys, in all, over 5,000 persons; f. Exclusions. Not all positions that are titled "se c re ta ry " possess the above characteristics. Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows: e. Trainees. Classification by Level Secretary jobs which meet the required characteristics are matched at one of five levels according to (a) the level of the secretary 's supervisor within the company's organizational structure and, (b) the level of the secretary's responsibility. The tabulation following the explanations of these two factors indicates the level of the secretary for each combination of the factors. _Level of Secretary's Supervisor (LS) LS—1 a. Secretary to the supervisor or head of a sm all organizational unit (e.g., fewer than about 25 or 30 person s); or SEC R ETAR Y— Continued C lassification by Level— Continued b. LS-2 Secretary to a nonsupervisory staff specialist, professional employee, administrative officer or assistant, skilled technician or expert. (N O T E : M a n y companies assign stenographers, rather than secretaries as described above, to this level of supervisory or nonsupervisory worker.) a. Secretary to an executive or m anagerial person whose respon sibility is not equivalent to one of the specific level situations in the definition for L S-3, but whose organizational unit normally numbers at least severed dozen employees and is usually divided into organizational segments which are often, in turn, further subdivided. In some companies, this level includes a wide range of organizational echelons; in others, only one or two; or b. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or ocher equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, fewer than 5,000 persons. LS-3 SEC R ETAR Y— Continued Classification by Level— Continued positions. Vice presidents whose prim ary 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 officers" for purposes of applying the definition. Level of Secretary's Responsibility (L R ) This factor evaluates the nature of the work relationship between the secretary and the supervisor, and the extent to which the secretary is expected to exercise initiative and judgment. Secretaries should be matched at LR—1 or LR—2 described below according to their level of responsibility. LR—1. Perform s varied secretarial duties including or comparable to most of the following: a. Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that employs, in all, fewer than 100 persons; or b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than chairman of the board or president) of a company that employs, in all, over 100 but few er than 5,000 persons; or a. Answ ers telephones, coming mail. c. Secretary to the head (immediately below the officer level) over either a m ajo r corporatewide functional activity (e.g., marketing, research , operations, industrial relations, etc.) or a m ajor geographic or organizational segment (e.g., a regional headquar ters; a m ajo r division) of a company that employs, in all, over 5,000 but few er than 25,000 employees; or b. Answ ers telephone requests which have standard answers. reply to requests by sending a form letter. personal callers, and opens in May c. Maintains su p erv iso r's instructed. e. Secretary to the head of a large and important organizational segment (e.g., a middle management supervisor of an organi zational segment often involving as many as severed hundred persons) of a company that employs, in all, over 25, 000 persons. Reviews correspondence, memoranda, and reports prepared by others for the su p e rv iso r's signature to ensure procedural and typographical accuracy. d. d. Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, over 5, 000 persons; or e. greets Types, takes and transcribes dictation, and files. calendar and makes appointments as a. Secretary to the chairman of the board of president of a company that employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5,000 persons; or b. Secretary to a corporate officer (other than the chairman of the board or president) of a company that employs, in all, over 5,000 but few er than 25, 000 persons; or a. Screens telephone and personal callers, determining which can be handled by the su p e rv iso r's subordinates or other offices. c. L S -4 LR—2. Perform s duties described under LR—1 and, in addition perform s tasks requiring greater judgment, initiative, and knowl edge of office functions including or comparable to most of the following: Secretary to the head, immediately below the corporate officer level, of a m ajor segment or subsidiary of a company that employs, in all, over 25,000 persons. b. Answ ers requests which require a detailed knowledge of of fice procedures or collection of information from files or other offices. May sign routine correspondence in own or supervisor' s name. N O T E : The term "corporate officer" used in the above LS definition refers to those officials who have a significant corporatewide policymaking role with regard to m ajor company activities. The title "vice president," though norm ally indicative of this role, does not in all cases identify such c. Compiles or assists in compiling periodic reports on the basis of general instructions. 33 SEC RETAR Y— Continued d.
