S. D epartm ent of L a b o r 's Bureau of Labor S ta tistics conducts su rveys of occupational earnings and related b en efits on an areaw ide b a s is . In this a r e a , data w ere obtained by p e rso n a l v isits of Bureau field econ om ists to r e p r e sentative esta b lish m en ts within six broad industry d iv isio n s: M anu factu rin g; tra n sp o rtation , com m u n ication , and other public u tilities; w h o le sale trade; r e ta il trade; finance, in su ran ce, and real esta te; and s e r v ic e s . M a jo r industry groups excluded fro m these studies are governm ent o peration s and the construction and extractive in d u stries. E stab lish m en ts having few er than a prescribed number of w o rk ers are om itted becau se they tend to furnish insufficient em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w a rra n t inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which m eet pub lication c r ite r ia . allow ances and incentive earnings are included. W here w eekly hours are rep o rte d , as for office c le r ic a l occu p ation s, re fe r e n c e is to the standard workw eek (rounded to the n ea rest half hour) for which e m ployees re c e iv e their regular stra ig h t-tim e s a la r ie s (exclu sive of pay for o vertim e at regular a n d /o r p rem iu m r a te s ). A v erag e w eekly ea rn ings for these occupations have been rounded to the n ea rest half dollar. The a vera ge s p resen ted r e fle c t co m p o site, areaw ide e s t i m a tes. Industries and esta b lish m en ts differ in pay level and job staffing and, thus, contribute d ifferen tly to the estim a te s for each job. The pay relation sh ip obtainable fro m the a vera ge s m ay fail to reflect a ccu rately the wage spread or differen tial m aintained among jobs in individual e sta b lish m en ts. S im ila r ly , d iffe re n ce s in average pay le v e ls for m en and wom en in any of the selected occupations should not be a ssu m ed to r e fle c t d iffe re n ce s in pay treatm ent of the sexes within individual esta b lish m en ts. Other p o ssib le fa cto rs which m ay contribute to d iffe re n ce s in pay for m en and w om en include: D iffe r ences in p r o g r e ssio n within esta b lish e d rate r a n g e s, since only the actual rates paid incum bents are collected ; and d ifferen ces in specific duties p e rfo rm e d , although the w o rk ers are c la s s ifie d appropriately within the sam e su rvey job d escrip tion . Job d escription s used in cla ssify in g em p loy ees in these su rvey s are u su ally m ore generalized than those used in individual esta b lish m en ts and allow for minor d ifferen ces among esta b lish m en ts in the sp e c ific duties p erform ed . T h ese su rv ey s a re conducted on a sam ple b asis b ecau se of the u n n ec essa ry c o s t involved in surveying a ll esta b lish m en ts. To obtain optim um a cc u ra c y at m inim um c o st, a greater proportion of la rg e than of s m a ll esta b lish m en ts is studied. In com bining the data, h ow ev er, a ll esta b lish m en ts a re given their appropriate weight. E s tim a tes based on the e sta b lish m en ts studied are presen ted, th e re fo re , as rela tin g to a ll esta b lish m en ts in the industry grouping and a re a , except for those below the m in im u m size studied. O ccupations and E arnings Occupational em ploym ent estim a tes rep rese n t the total in all esta blish m en ts within the scope of the study and not the number actu ally su rveyed . B ecau se of d iffe re n ce s in occupational structure among e sta b lish m en ts, the estim a tes of occupational em ploym ent ob tained fro m the sam ple of esta blish m en ts studied se r v e only to indicate the rela tiv e im portance of the jo b s studied. T h ese differen ces in occupational structure do not affect m a te r ia lly the accu racy of the earnings data. The occupations se le c te d for study are com m on to a variety of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in du stries, and a re of the follow in g typ es: (1) O ffice C lerical; (2) pro fessio n al and technical; (3) m aintenance and pow erplant; and (4) custodial and m a te r ia l m o v e m en t. O ccupational c la s s ific a tio n is based on a uniform set of job d e sc rip tio n s d esign ed to take account of in terestab lish m en t variation in duties within the sam e jo b . The occupations selec ted for study a re listed and d e sc rib e d in the appendix. The earnings data follow ing the job titles a re fo r a ll in d u stries com bined. Earnings data for som e of the occupations listed and d e sc rib e d , or for som e industry division s within occupations , a re not presen ted in the A - s e r i e s ta b le s, because either (1) em p loy m en t in the occupation is too sm a ll to provide enough data to m e r it p resen ta tio n , or (2) there is p o ssibility of d isc lo su re of individual esta b lish m en t data. E stab lish m en t P r a c tic e s and Supplem entary W age P ro v isio n s Inform ation is presen ted (in the B - s e r i e s tables) on selected esta blish m en t p ra ctic e s and supplem entary wage p ro vision s as they relate to plant and office w o r k e r s. A d m in istra tiv e, execu tive, and p ro fessio n a l e m p lo y e e s, and construction w o rk ers who are utilized as a separate work fo r c e are excluded. "P la n t w o r k e r s " include working fo rem en and all non su p ervisor y w ork ers (including lead m en and train ees) engaged in nonoffice functions. "O ffic e w o r k e r s " include working su p e rv iso r s and n on su p erviso ry w o rk ers perform ing c le ric a l or related functions. C afeteria w o rk ers and routem en are excluded in m anufacturing in d u stries, but included in nonmanufacturing in d u str ie s. O ccu pation al em p loym en t and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w o r k e r s , i. e. , those hired to work a regular w eek ly schedule in the given occupational c la ssific a tio n . Earnings data exclude p r e m iu m pay fo r o v e rtim e and for work on w eekends, h olid ay s, and late sh ifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t -o f -liv in g 1 2 M inim um entrance s a la r ie s for wom en office w o rk ers (table B - l ) relate only to the e sta b lish m en ts v isite d .

In esta b lish m en ts having v aried d iffe re n tia ls, the amount applying to a m a jo r ity was u sed o r , if no amount applied to a m a jo r ity , the c la s s ific a tio n "o t h e r " w as u sed. In esta b lish m en ts in which so m e la te -s h ift hours are paid at n orm al r a t e s , a differen tial was rec o rd e d only if it applied to a m a jo r ity of the shift h ou rs. The scheduled w eek ly hours (table B -3 ) of a m a jo r ity of the fi r s t -s h i ft w o rk ers in an esta b lish m en t are tabulated as applying to a ll of the plant or o ffice w o rk ers of that esta b lish m en t. Scheduled w eekly hours are those which fu ll-tim e em p loy ees w ere expected to w o rk , whether they w ere paid for at stra ig h t-tim e or o vertim e r a te s . Paid h olidays; paid vacation s; health, in su ra n ce, and pension plan s; and prem iu m pay for o vertim e work (tables B - 4 through B -7 ) are treated sta tistic a lly on the b a sis that these are applicable to all plant or o ffice , w o rk ers if a m a jo rity of such w o rk ers are elig ib le or m ay eventually qualify for the p r a c tic e s listed . Sum s of individual item s in tables B - 2 through B -7 m ay not equal totals b ecau se of rounding. Data on paid holidays (table B -4 ) are lim ite d to data on h o li days granted annually on a fo r m a l b a s is ; i .e ., (1) are provided for in w ritten fo r m , or ( Z) have been esta b lish ed by cu stom . H olidays o rd in a rily granted are included even though they m ay fa ll on a non w orkday and the w orker is not granted another day off. The fir s t part of the paid holidays table p rese n ts the number of whole and half holidays actu ally granted. The second part com bines whole and half holidays to show total holiday t im e . Data on health, in su ra n ce, and pen sion plans (table B -6 ) in clude those plans for which the em p lo y er pays at le a st a part of the c o st. Such plans include those u n derw ritten by a c o m m e r c ia l in surance com pany and those provided through a union fund or paid d ir e c tly by •the em p loyer out of current operating funds or fr o m a fund set aside for this purpose. An esta b lish m en t w as con sid e red to have a plan if the m a jo rity of em p loyees w e re e lig ib le to be c ov ered under the plan, even if le s s than a m a jo r ity elec ted to p a rticipate b eca u se e m ploy ees were requ ired to contribute tow ard the co st of the plan. L e g ally required p lan s, such as w o r k m e n 's com p en sation , s o cia l s e cu rity, and railroa d retire m e n t w e re exclu ded. Sickness and accident in su ran ce is lim ite d to that type of insurance under which p red eterm in ed cash paym en ts are m ade d ire c tly to the insured on a w eekly or m onthly b a s is during illn e s s or accident d isa b ility. Inform ation is p resen ted for a ll such plans to which the em p loy er contributes.

Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are lim ite d to fo r m a l p lan s3 which provide full pay or a proportion of the w o r k e r 's pay during absen ce fr o m work b ecau se of illn e s s . Separate tabulations are p resen ted accord in g to (1) plans which provide full pay and no w aiting p e rio d , and (2) plans which provide either partial pay or a w aiting p erio d . In addition to the presentation of the proportion s of w o r k e r s who are provided sick n ess and accident insurance or paid sick le a v e , an unduplicated total is shown of w ork ers who r e c e iv e either or both types of b en efits. Catastrophe in su ran ce, s o m e tim e s r e fe r r e d to as m ajor m e d ical insurance, includes those plans which are design ed to protect em p loy ees in case of sick n ess and injury involving ex p en ses beyond the norm al coverage of h osp ita liza tio n , m e d ic a l, and su r g ic a l plan s.

Such plans m ay be underw ritten by c o m m e r c ia l insurance com panies or nonprofit o rgan ization s or they m ay be paid for by the em ployer out of a fund set aside for this pu rpose. Tabulations of retirem en t pension plans are lim ite d to those plans that provide regular paym ents fo r the rem ain d e r of the w o r k e r 's life . The su m m a ry of vacation plans (table B -5 ) is lim ite d to a sta tistic a l m ea su re of vacation p r o v isio n s. It is not intended as a m ea su re of the proportion of w o rk ers actu ally receiv in g sp e c ific b en e fits .

P ro v isio n s for paym ent on other than a tim e b a sis w ere converted to a tim e b a s is ; for ex a m p le, a paym ent of 2 percent of annual earnings was con sidered as the eq u iv alent of 1 w e ek 's pay. E stim a te s exclude v a c a tio n -sa v in g s plans and those which offer "e x te n d e d " or "s a b b a t ic a l" benefits beyond b asic plans to w o rk ers with qualifying lengths of s e r v ic e . T y p ical of such exclu sion s are plans in the s te e l, alum inum , and can in d u stries. Data on overtim e p rem iu m pay (table B - 7 ) , the hours after which prem iu m pay is rec eiv ed and the corresp o n d in g rate of pay, are p resen ted by daily and w eekly p r o v is io n s .

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s 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 Bureau’ s field economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; learners; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
