AREA WAGE SURVEY
Burlington, V e rm o n t Area,
Decem ber 1972
Bulletin 1775-28
U S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
of Labor Statistics
P re fa c e
This bulletin provides results of a December 1972 survey of occupa
tional earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Burlington, Vermont,
area (Burlington, Essex Junction, South Burlington, and Winooski in Chittenden
County). 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 indi
vidual metropolitan areas, as well as national and regional estimates for all
Standard Metropolitan A reas 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
metropolitan area surveyed. The second summary bulletin presents national and
regional estimates, projected from individual metropolitan area data.
The Burlington survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office
in Boston, M ass. , under the general direction of Paul V. Mulkern, Assistant
Regional Director 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.
Note:
Also available for the Burlington area are listings of union wage rates
for seven selected building trades. Free copies of these are available from the
Bureau's regional offices.

In tro d u c tio n
This a rea is 1 of 96 in which the U.S. Department o f L a b o r 's
Bureau o f L a b or Statistics conducts surveys o f occupational earnings
and re la te d benefits on an areaw ide b a s is . 1 In this a rea, data w e r e
obtained by p erson al vis its o f Bureau fie ld econom ists to r e p r e s e n t a
tiv e establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing;
transportatio n, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale
trade; r e t a il trade; finance, insurance, and re a l estate; and s e r v ic e s .
M a jo r industry groups excluded fr o m these studies a re governm ent
operations and the construction and ex tra c tiv e industries. E s ta b lis h
ments having fe w e r than a p r e s c r ib e d number o f w o rk e rs arc omitted
because of insufficient em ploym ent in the occupations studied. Sepa
rate tabulations a re provided for each of the broad industry divisions
which m e e t publication c r it e r ia .
the A - s e r i e s tables, because either (1) em ploym ent in the occupation
is too sm all to provid e enough data to m e r i t presentation, o r (2) there
is p os s ib ility of d is c lo s u re of individual establishment data. Earnings
data not shown separately fo r industry div isions are included in all
industries combined data, where shown. L ik e w is e , data are included
in the o v e r a l l cla s s ific a tio n when a subclassification of e lectro n ics
technicians, s e c r e t a r ie s , o r tru c k d riv e rs is not shown o r info rm atio n
to subclassify is not available.
Occupational employment and earnin gs data are shown for
fu ll-tim e w o r k e r s , i.e ., those hired to w ork a r e g u la r weekly schedule.
Earnings data exclude prem ium pay for o v e r t im e and for work on
weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are e x
cluded, but c o s t - o f - l i v i n g allowances and incentive earnings are in
cluded. Where w eek ly hours are reported, as fo r o ffic e c l e r ic a l occu
pations, r e fe r e n c e is to the standard w orkw eek (rounded to the nearest
half hour) fo r which em ployees r e c e iv e their re g u la r straigh t-tim e
s a la r ie s (e x clu sive of pay for o v e r t im e at re g u la r and/or prem iu m
r a tes).
A v e r a g e w eek ly earnings fo r these occupations are rounded
to the n earest half d olla r.
Th ese surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The s a m
pling p roced u res involve detailed stratification of all establishments
within the scope o f an individual a rea survey by industry and number
of e m p lo y e e s . F r o m this stratified universe a probability sample is
sele cted, with each establishment having a p red e te rm in e d chance of
selectio n. T o obtain optimum accu racy at m inim um cost, a g r e a t e r
proportion o f la r g e than small establishments is selected. When data
a re combin ed, each establishment is weighted accordin g to its p rob a
b ility o f s e lection , so that unbiased estim ates are generated. F o r e x
am ple , if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a
weight of four to rep resen t i t s e lf plus th ree others. An alternate of the
same o r ig in a l probability is chosen in the same in d u s tr y -s iz e c l a s s i f i
cation i f data are not available fo r the o rig in a l sample m e m b e r .
If
These surveys m ea su re the le v e l o f occupational earnings in
an a rea at a pa rticu la r tim e. Com parisons of individual occupational
a v e ra g e s o v e r tim e m ay not r e fle c t expected wage changes. The a v e r
ages fo r individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and e m p lo y
ment patterns.
F o r example, proportions o f w o rk e rs em plo yed by
high- o r lo w -w a g e f ir m s m ay change o r high-wage w o rk e rs m ay ad
vance to better jobs and be replaced by new w o rk e rs at lo w e r rates.
Such shifts in em ploym ent could d ecrea se an occupational average
even though m ost establishments in an a rea in crease wages during
the y e a r . Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table 2,
a re better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the
g ro u p s .

Occupations and Earnings
The occupations s e lected fo r study are common to a v a r ie t y
of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are o f the
follow in g types:
(1) O ffic e c le r i c a l ; (2) p rofession a l and technical;
(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m a t e r ia l m o v e
ment.
Occupational cla s s ific a tio n is based on a uniform set of job
descriptions desig ned to take account o f interestablishm ent variation
in duties within the same job. The occupations sele cted fo r study are
listed and d e s c rib e d in the appendix. Unless o th erw ise indicated, the
earnings data fo llow in g the job titles are fo r all industries combined.
Earnings data fo r some o f the occupations listed and d e scrib ed , or
fo r som e industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in

Included in the 96 areas are 10 studies conducted by die Bureau under contract. These
are Austin, T e x .; Binghamton, N .Y . (New York portion only); Durham, N. C. ; Fort Lauderdale—
Hollywood and West Palm Beach, F la .; Huntsville, A la .; Lexington, K y .; Poughkeepsie—Kingston—
Newburgh, N .Y . ; Rochester, N .Y . (office occupations only); Syracuse, N .Y . ; and Utica—Rome, N.Y.
In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies in approximately 70 areas at the request
of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.

thus contribute d iffe re n tly to the estim ates fo r each job. Pay a v e r

individual establishments.
A v e r a g e pay l e v e ls fo r men and wom en in sele cted occupa

F a c to rs which m a y contribute to

areas only the rates paid incumbents are co llected, and p erfo rm a n ce of spe

Occupational em ploym ent estim ates r ep resen t the total in all
establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actu
ally su rveyed. Because occupational structures among establishments
differ, e stim a tes o f occupational em ployment obtained fr o m the sample
of establishments studied s e r v e only to indicate the r e la tiv e im p o r
tance of the jobs studied. T h ese d iffe re n c e s in occupational structure
do not affect m a t e r i a l l y the a ccu ra cy o f the earnings data.

Info rm atio n is p resented (in the B - s e r i e s tables) on selected
establishment p ra c tic e s and supplementary wage provision s fo r plantw o rk ers and o f f i c e w o r k e r s . Data for industry divisions not presented

The scheduled w eekly hours and days o f a m a jo r it y of the

An establishment is considered as having a policy if it met

F o o tn o te s
A l l of these standard footnotes m ay not apply to this bulletin.
1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime
at regular and/or prem ium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all w orkers and dividing by the number of. w ork ers. The median
designates position— half of the employees surveyed receive m ore than the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown. The middle
range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the w orkers earn less than the low er of these rates and a fourth earn m ore than the higher rate.
3 Excludes prem ium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
4 These salaries relate to form ally established minimum starting (hiring) regular straight-tim e salaries that are paid for standard
workweeks.
5 Excludes w orkers in subclerical jobs such as m essenger.
6 Data are presented for a ll standard workweeks combined, and for the most common standard workweeks reported.
7 Includes all plantworkers in establishments currently operating late shifts, and establishments whose form al provisions cover late
shifts, even though the establishments w ere not currently operating late shifts.
8 L ess than 0.05 percent.
9 L ess than 0.5 percent.
1 A ll combinations of full and h ilf days that add to the same amount are combined; for example, the proportion of w orkers receiving a
0
total of 9 days includes those with 9 full days and no half days, 8 full days and 2 half days, 7 full days and 4 half days, and so on. Proportions
then w ere cumulated.
1 These days are provided as part of a Christm as—
1
New Y ear holiday period which typically begins with Christm as Eve and ends with
New Y e a r 's Day. Such a holiday period is common in the automobile, aerospace, and farm implement industries. Because of y e a r-to -y e a r
variation in the number of workdays during the period, pay for a Sunday in Decem ber, frequently re fe rre d to as a "bonus holiday," may be
provided to equalize each y e a r's total holiday pay.
1 "F loatin g" holidays vary from year to year according to employer or employee choice.
2
1 Includes payments other than "length of t im e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-su m payments, converted to an equivalent
3
time basis; for example, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 w eek's pay. Periods of service are chosen a rb itrarily and do not
necessarily reflect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in proportions at 10 years include changes between 5 and 10
years. Estim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 w eek s' pay after 10 years includes those eligible for at least 3
w eek s' pay after few er years of service.
1 Estimates listed after type of benefit are for a ll plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. "Noncontributory
4
plan s" include only those financed entirely by the em ployer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workm en's compensation, social
security, and railroad retirem ent.
1 Unduplicated total of w orkers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are
5
limited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that each employee can expect. Informal sick leave
allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.
