AREAWAGESURVEY Buffalo, New York, Metropolitan Area, October 1972 Bulletin 1775-18 U S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Rnrpaii of Labor Statistics Preface This bulletin provides results of an October 1972 survey of occupational earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Buffalo, New York, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (Erie and Niagara Counties). 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 well as national and regional estimates for all Standard Metropolitan Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, (as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget through November 1971). 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 de velops 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, 96 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 bene fits, collected every second year in the past, is now 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 m e t r o p o lit a n a rea su rv ey ed . The s e c o n d s u m m a r y b u lle t in p r e s e n t s n a tio n a l and regional estimates, projected from individual metropolitan area data. The Buffalo survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in New York, N.Y., under the general direction of Alvin I. Margulis, Assistant Regional Director for Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the many firms 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. Note: Also available for the Buffalo area are listings of union wage rates for building trades, printing trades, local-transit operating employees, local truckdrivers and helpers, and grocery store employees. Free copies of these are available from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover for addresses.)

Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establish ments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Sepa rate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria. the A -se rie s tables, because either (1) employment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in all industries combined data, where shown. Likewise, data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification of electronics technicians, secretaries, or truckdrivers is not shown or information to subclassify is not available. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time workers, 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 ex cluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive earnings are in cluded. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occu pations, reference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest half dollar. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The sam pling procedures involve detailed stratification of all establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of employees. From this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment having a predetermined chance of selection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than small establishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment is weighted according to its proba bility of selection, so that unbiased estimates are generated. For ex ample, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a weight of four to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classifi cation if data are not available for the original sample member. If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample member that is similar to the missing unit. These surveys measure 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 aver ages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employ ment patterns. For example, proportions of workers employed by high- or low-wage firm s may change or high-wage workers may ad vance to better jobs and be replaced by new workers at lower rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an occupational average even though most establishments in an area increase wages during the year. Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table 2, are better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups. Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1) Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material move ment. Occupational 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 described in the appendix. 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 occupations, are not presented in 1 Included in the 96 areas are 10 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These are Austin, T e x .; Binghamton, N . Y . (N ew York portion only); Durham, N. C. ; Fort Lauderdale— H ollyw ood and West Palm Beach, F la .; Huntsville, A l a . ; Lexington, K y . ; Poughkeepsie—Kingston— Newburgh, N . Y . ; Rochester, N . Y . (o ffic e occupations only); Syracuse, N . Y . ; and U tica— R om e, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts m ore lim ited area studies in approxim ately 70 areas at the request o f the Em ployment Standards Adm inistration o f the U. S. Department o f Labor. Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. In dustries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay aver ages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments. Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupa tions should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. Factors which may contribute to differences include progression within established rate ranges, since areas only the rates paid incumbents are collected, and performance of spe cific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job descrip tions 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. 2 3 O c c u p a tio n a l e m p l o y m e n t e s t i m a t e s r e p r e s e n t the to t a l in a l l e s t a b l i s h m e n t s w ith in the s c o p e o f the study and not th e n u m b e r a c t u a lly su rvey ed .

The "w ork ers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other employment indexes for the area to m easure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) sm all establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division. 3 Includes a ll establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. A ll outlets (within the a re a ) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters a re considered as 1 establishment. 4 Includes executive, professional, and other w orkers excluded fro m the separate plant and office categories. 5 Abbreviated to "public u tilities" in the A - and B - series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to w ater transportation w ere excluded. 6 This industry division is represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "a ll industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation of data fo r this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to perm it separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. 7 W ork ers from this entire industry division are represented in estimates for "a ll industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, but from the rea l estate portion only in estimates for " a ll industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the reasons given in footnote 6 above. * Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile rep a ir, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit m em bership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services. Industrial composition in manufacturing T h ree-fifth s of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Buffalo area w ere employed in manufacturing firm s. The following presents the m ajor groups and specific industries as a percent of a ll manufacturing: Specific industries Industry groups P rim a ry m etal industries-------- 22 Transportation equipment-------- 19 Chemicals and allied products____________________ Fabricated m etal products_____ 8 E lec tric a l equipment and supplies________________________ 7 M achinery, except e le c tric a l.. 7 Food and kindred products------- 6 Printing and publishing_________ 4 9 Blast furnace and basic steel products____________15 M otor vehicles and equipment.. 15 Industrial chem icals____________ 6 E lec tric a l industrial apparatus_______________________ 5 Iron and steel foundries________ 4 This information is based on estimates of total employment derived from universe m aterials compiled p rio r to actual survey. Proportions in various industry divisions may differ fro m proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in table 1 above. Labor-m anagem ent agreement coverage The following tabulation shows the percent of plantworkers and officeworkers employed in establishments in which a contract or contracts covered a m ajority of the w orkers in the respective categories, Buffalo, N .Y ., October 1972: A ll in d ustries___________________ Manufacturing___________________ Public utilities___________________ Retail trade________________ . .. Plantworkers Officeworkers 81 94 100 35 22 17 80 2 An establishment is considered to have a contract covering a ll plantworkers or officew orkers if a m ajority of such w orkers are covered by a labor-management agreement. Therefore, a ll other plantworkers or officeworkers are employed in establishments that either do not have labor-m anagem ent contracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to few er than h alf of their plantworkers or officeworkers. Estimates are not n ecessarily representative of the extent to which a ll w orkers in the area may be covered by the provisions of labor-m anagem ent agreem ents, because sm all establishments are excluded and the industrial scope of the survey is limited.

O c c u p a tio n a l D e s c r ip tio n s The prim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations w orkers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangem ents from establishment to establishment and from a rea to area. This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rates representing com parable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea com parability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m ay differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau's field economists are instructed to exclude working su pervisors; apprentices; le a rn e rs; beginners: trainees; and handicapped, part-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
