* Data not available.
** Data do not m e e t publication criteria.

N O T E : Th e 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). Th e y are not affected by changes in average earnings
resulting f r o m em pl oy me nt shifts a m o n g establishments or turnover of establishments
included in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by factors
other than wa g e increases. Hirings, layoffs, and turnover m a y affect an establishment
average for an occupation w h e n workers are paid under plans providing a range of wa ge rates
for individual jobs. In periods of increased hiring, for example, n e w employees enter at the
bottom of the-range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates.
These w a g e trends are not linked to the w a g e indexes previously published for this
area because the w a g e indexes m e a s u r e d changes in area averages, whereas these wage
trends m e a s u r e changes in ma tc he d establishment averages. Other characteristics of these
w a g e trends which differ f r o m the discontinued indexes include (1) earnings data of office
clerical wo rk er s and industrial nurses are converted to an hourly basis, (2) trend estimates
are provided for nonmanufacturing establishments, wh er e possible, and (3) trend estimates
are provided for electronic data processing jobs.
For a m o r e detailed description of the m e th od used to compute these wa ge trends, see
"Improving Ar e a W a g e Survey Indexes," Monthly Labor Re vi ew, January 1973, pp. 52-57.

Appendix A
Ar e a w a g e and related benefits data are obtained by personal visits of Bu r e a u field represent­
atives at 3-year intervals. 1 In each of the intervening years, information on em pl o y m e n t and
occupational earnings is collected by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and tele­
phone interview fr o m establishments participating in the previous survey.
In each of the 83 2 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained f r o m representative estab­
lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication, and other
public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major
industry groups excluded f r o m these studies are government operations and the construction and
extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed n u m b e r of workers are omitted
because of insufficient e m p l o y m e n t in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are prorvided for
each of the broad industry divisions which me e t publication criteria.
These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. Th e sampling procedures involve detailed
stratification of all establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and n u m b e r
of employees. F r o m this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment
having a predetermined chance of selection. T o obtain o p t i m u m accuracy at m i n i m u m cost, a greater
proportion of large than small establishments is selected. W h e n data are combined, each establishment
is weighted according to its probability of selection, so that unbiased estimates are generated. Fo r
example, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a weight of four to represent itself
plus three others. A n alternate of the s a m e original probability is chosen in the s a m e industry-size
classification if data are not available for the original sample m e m b e r . If no suitable substitute is
available, additional weight is assigned to a sample m e m b e r that is similar to the missing unit.
Occupations and Earnings
Occupations selected for study are c o m m o n 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 mo vement. Occupational classification is
based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation
in duties within the s a m e 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 s o m e of the occupations listed and described, or for s o m e industry divisions within
occupations, are not presented in the A-series tables, because either (1) em pl oy me nt in the occupation
is too small to provide enough data to merit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of
individual establishment data. Separate me n' s and w o me n' s earnings data are not presented w h e n the
n u m b e r of workers not identified by sex is 20 percent or m o r e of the m e n or w o m e n identified in an
occupation. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in all industries
co mbined data, wh er e shown. Likewise, data are included in the overall classification w h e n a sub­
classification of electronics technicians, secretaries, or truckdrivers is not shown or information to
subclassify is not available.
Occupational em pl o y m e n t and earnings data are shown for full-time workers, i.e., those hired
to w o r k a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude p r e m i u m pay for overtime and for w o r k on
weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living allowances
ahd incentive bonuses are included. W e e k l y hours for office clerical and professional and technical
occupations refer to the standard w o r k w e e k (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees
receive regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or p r e m i u m rates).

wo rk er s m a y advance to better jobs and be replaced by n e w workers at lower rates. Such shifts in
e m pl oy me nt could decrease an occupational average even though mo s t establishments in an area
increase wa ge s during the year. Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A-7,
are better indicators of w a g e trends than individual jobs within the groups.
Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ
in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each jobl Pay
averages m a y fail to reflect accurately the wa g e differential a m o n g jobs in individual establishments.
Average pay levels for m e n and w o m e n in selected occupations should not be a s s u m e d to
reflect differences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. Factors which m a y contribute
to differences include progression within established rate ranges, since only the rates paid incumbents
are collected, and performance of specific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job
descriptions used to classify employees in these surveys usually are m o r e generalized than those used
in individual establishments and allow for mi n o r differences a m o n g establishments in specific
duties performed.
Occupational em pl o y m e n t estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope
of the study and not the n u m b e r actually surveyed. Because occupational structures a m o n g establish­
me nt s differ, estimates of occupational e m p l o y m e n t obtained f r o m the sample of establishments studied
serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational
structure do not affect materially the accuracy of the earnings data.

Percent changes for individual areas in the p r o g r a m are comp ut ed as follows:
1. E a c h occupation is assigned a weight based on its proportionate em ployment in the selected
group of occupations in the base year.
2. These weights are used to compute group averages. E a c h occupation's average (mean)
earnings is multiplied by its weight. T h e products are totaled to obtain a group average.
3. T h e ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is co mputed by dividing the average
for the current year by the average for the earlier year. T h e results— expressed as a percent— less 100
is the percent change.

Establishment practices and supplementary w a g e provisions
The B-series tables provide information on establishment practices and supplementary wa ge
provisions for full-time plant and office workers.
’’Plant workers" include working foremen and all
nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions. Cafeteria
workers and routemen are excluded fr o m manufacturing, but included in nonmanufacturing industries.
"Office workers" include working supervisors and nonsupervisory workers performing clerical or
related functions. Administrative, executive, professional, and part-time employees are excluded.
Part-time employees are those hired to w o r k a schedule calling regularly for fewer weekly hours than
the establishment's schedule for full-time employees in the s a m e general type of work. The
determination is based on the employer's distinction between the two groups which m a y take into
account not only differences in w o r k schedules but differences in pay and benefits.
M i n i m u m entrance salaries for office workers relate only to the establishments visited. (See
table B-l.) Because of the o p t i m u m sampling techniques used and the probability that large
establishments are m o r e likely them small establishments to have formal entrance rates above the
subclerical level, the table is m o r e representative of policies in m e d i u m and large establishments.
Shift differential data are limited to full-time plant workers in manufacturing industries. (See
table B-2.) This information is presented in te r m s of (1) establishment policy 3 for total plant w o rk er
employment, and (2) effective practice for workers employed on the specified shift at the time of the
survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a majority is used. In
establishments having s o m e late-shift hours paid at no rm al rates, a differential is recorded only if it
applies to a majority of the shift hours. A second (evening) shift ends wo r k at or near midnight. A
third (night) shift starts w o r k at or near midnight.
The scheduled weekly hours and days of a majority of the first-shift workers in an establish­
ment are tabulated as applying to all full-time plant or office workers of that establishment. (See
table B-3.) Scheduled weekly hours and days are those which a majority of full-time employees are
expected to w o r k for straight-time or overtime rates.
Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are treated statistically
as applying to all full-time plant or office workers if a majority of such workers are eligible or m a y
eventually qualify for the practices listed. (See tables B- 4 through B-6.) S u m s of individual items in
tables B-2 through B- 5 m a y not equal totals because of rounding..

T h e s u m m a r y of vacation plans is a statistical m e a s u r e of vacation provisions rather than a
m e a s u r e of the proportion of full-time wo rk er s actually receiving specific benefits. (Se$ table B-5.)
Provisions apply to all plant or office wo rk er s in an establishment regardless of length of service.
Pa ym e n t s on other than a time basis are converted to a time period; for example, 2 percent of
annual earnings are considered equivalent to 1 week's pay. Only basic plans are included. Estimates
exclude vacation bonuses, vacation-savings plans, and "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic
plans. Such provisions are typical in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.
Health, insurance, and pension plans for which the em pl o y e r pays at least a part of the cost
include those (1) underwritten by a co m m e r c i a l insurance c o m p a n y or nonprofit organization, (2)
provided through a union fund, or (3) paid directly by the empl oy er out of current operating funds or
f r o m a fund set aside for this purpose. (See table B-6.) A n establishment is considered to have
such a plan if the majority of employees are covered even though less than a majority participate
under the plan because employees are required to contribute toward the cost. Excluded are
legally required plans, such as w o rk me n' s compensation, social security, and railroad retirement.
Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of insurance under which predetermined
cash payments are m a d e directly to the insured during t e mp or ar y illness or accident disability.
Information is presented for all such plans to which the em ployer contributes. Ho wever, in N e w
Y o r k and N e w Jersey, which have enacted t e mp or ar y disability insurance laws requiring employer
contributions,4 plans are included only if the empl oy er (1) contributes m o r e than is legally required,'
or (2) provides the employee with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of
paid sick leave plans are limited to formal plans5 which provide full pay or a proportion of the
worker's pay during absence f r o m w o r k because of illness. Separate tabulations are presented
according to (1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans which provide either
partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presentation of proportions of wo rk er s provided
sickness and accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated toted is shown of w o rk er s w h o
receive either or both types of benefits.
Lo ng te r m disability insurance plans provide paym en ts to totally disabled employees upon the
expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sickness and accident insurance, or after a predetermined
period of disability (typically 6 months). P a y m e n t s are m a d e until the end of the disability, a
m a x i m u m age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Full or partial payments are almost always
reduced by social security, work me n' s compensation, and private pensions benefits payable to the
disabled employee.

Data on paid holidays are limited to holidays granted annually on a formal basis, which (1)
are provided for in written form, or (2) are established by custom.
(See table B-4.) Holidays
ordinarily granted are included even though they m a y fall on a nonworkday and the wo rker is not
granted another day off. Th e first part of the paid holidays table presents the n u m b e r of whole and
half holidays actually granted. Th e second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday
time. Table B- 4 a reports the incidence of the mo s t c o m m o n paid holidays.

Ma jo r medical insurance plans protect employees f r o m sickness and injury expenses beyond
the coverage of basic hospitalization, medical, and surgical plans. Typical features of ma j o r medical
plans are (1) a "deductible" (e.g., $50) paid by the insured before benefits begin; (2) a coinsurance
feature requiring the insured to pay a portion (e.g., 20 percent) of certain expenses; ancj (3) stated
dollar m a x i m u m benefits (e.g., $ 10, 000 a year). Medical insurance provides complete or partial
payment of doctors' fees. Dental insurance usually covers fillings, extractions, and X-rays. Excluded
are plans which cover only oral surgery or accident damage.
Retirement pension plans provide
payments for the remainder of the worker's life.

1 The Buffalo Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of M a n a g e m e n t and Budget through February 1974, consists of Erie and Niagara Counties. The "workers 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. Estimates are not intended, however,
for comparison with other em pl o y m e n t indexes to m e a s u r e employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wa g e surveys requires establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll
period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 Th e 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual w a s used to classify establishments by industry division.
3 Includes all establishments with total em ployment at or above the m i n i m u m limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in industries such as trade, finance, auto repair service,
and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.
4 Includes executive, professional, part-time, and other workers excluded fr o m the separate plant and office categories.
5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A- and B-series tables. Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation w e r e excluded. The municipally operated portion of Buffalo's transit
system is excluded by definition fr o m the scope of the study.
6 This division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A-series tables, and for " all industries" in the B-series tables. Separate presentation of data
is not m a d e for one or m o r e of the following reasons: (1). E m pl oy me nt is too small to provide enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample wa s not designed initially to permit separate
presentation, (3) response wa s insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
7 W o r k e r s f r o m this entire division are represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A-series tables, but fr o m the real estateportion only inestimates
for
"all industries" in the B-series tables. Separate presentation of data is not m a d e for one or m o r e of the reasons given in footnote 6.

A n establishment is considered to have a contract covering all plant or office
workers if a majority of such workers is covered by a labor-management agreement.
Therefore, all other plant or office workers are employed in establishments that either
do not have la bor-management contracts in effect, or have contracts that apply to fewer
than half of their plant or office workers. Estimates are not necessarily representative of
the extent to which all workers in the area m a y be covered by the provisions of laborm a n a g e m e n t agreements, because small establishments are excluded and the industrial scope
of the survey is limited.
