Area Wage Survey---The Canton, Ohio, Metropolitan Area
Introduction
This a re a is 1 of 86 in which the U. 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 .

above the s u b c le r ic a l le v e l than s m a ll e sta b lish m e n ts, the table is
m o r e -r e p r e s e n ta tiv e of p o lic ie s in m edium and la rg e esta b lish m e n ts.
Shift d ifferen tial data (table B -2 ) are lim ite d to plant w o rk ers
in m anufacturing in d u stries.
This in form ation is presen ted both in
te r m s of (1) esta b lish m en t p o l i c y ,1 presen ted in te r m s of total plant
w orker em p loy m en t, and (2) effectiv e p r a c tic e , p resen ted in te r m s of
w o rk e rs actu ally em ployed on the sp e cified shift at the tim e of the
su rvey .
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 ­

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. H ow ever, in New Y o rk and New J e r s e y , which
have enacted tem p o ra ry d isa b ility in su ran ce law s which req u ire e m ­
ployer co n trib u tio n s,2 plans are included only if the em p loy er (1) con­
tributes m ore than is le g a lly r e q u ire d , or (2) p ro vid es the em p loyee
with benefits which exceed the req u ire m e n ts of the law . 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.
M ed ical insurance r e fe r s to plans providing for com p lete or partial
paym ent of d o c to rs' fe e 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

tabulated as applying to all plant or office w o rk ers of the e s ta b lis h ­
m en t, r e g a r d le s s of length of s e r v ic e .
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

F o r o ffice c le r ic a l w o rk ers and industrial n u rse s, the wage
trends rela te to reg u lar w eek ly sa la r ie s for the n orm al workw eek,
ex c lu siv e of earnin gs for o v ertim e .
F o r plant w orker grou ps, they
m e a su re changes in a verage stra ig h t-tim e hourly ea rn in g s, excluding
p rem iu m pay for o v ertim e and for work on w eekends, h olid ay s, and
late sh ifts. The p e rce n ta ge s are based on data for selec ted key o ccu ­
pations and include m o st of the n u m erica lly im portant jo b s within
each group.

Changes in the labor fo rce can cause in c re a se s or d e c re a se s in the
occupational a vera ges without actual wage changes. It is conceivable
that even though all esta blish m en ts in an a rea gave wage in c r e a s e s ,
average w ages m ay have declined becau se lo w e r-p a y in g establish m en ts
entered the a rea or expanded their w ork fo r c e s .
S im ila r ly , w ages
m ay have rem ain ed r e la tiv e ly constant, yet the a vera ge s for an area
m ay have r ise n con siderab ly becau se h igh er-payin g establish m en ts
entered the a re a .

L im ita tio n s of Data
The indexes and percen tages of change, as m e a su re s of
change in a re a a v e r a g e s , are influenced by:
(l) gen eral sa la r y and
wage ch an ges, (Z) m e r it or other in c re a se s in pay receiv ed by indi­
vidual w o rk e rs w hile in the sam e jo b , and (3) changes in average
w ages due to changes in the labor force resulting fr o m labor turn­
o v e r , fo rc e ex p a n sion s, fo r c e redu ction s, and changes in the p r o p o r ­
tions of w o rk e rs em p loyed by establish m en ts with differen t pay le v e ls .




The use of constant em ploym ent weights elim in a tes the effect
of changes in the proportion of w o rk ers rep resen ted in each job in­
cluded in the data.
The percen tages of change r e fle c t only changes
in average pay for stra ig h t-tim e h ou rs.
They are not influenced by
changes in standard work sch ed u les, as such, or by p rem iu m pay
for o v ertim e . W here n e c e s s a r y , data w ere adjusted to rem ove fro m
the indexes and p ercen tages of change any significant effect caused
by changes in the scope of the su rvey.

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.
OFFICE
BILLER, MACHINE—Continued

BILLER, MACHINE

columns and computes, and usually prints automatically the debit or
credit balances. Does not involve a knowledge of bookkeeping.
Works from uniform and standard types of sales and credit slips.

Prepares statements, bills, and invoices on a machine other than
an ordinary or electrom atic typewriter. May also keep records as to
billings or shipping charges or perform other clerical work incidental to
billing operations. For wage study purposes, billers, machine, are clas­
sified by type of machine, as follows:

BOOKKEEPING-MACHINE OPERATOR
Operates a bookkeeping machine (Remington Rand, Elliott Fisher,
Sundstrand, Burroughs, National Cash Register, with or without a type­
writer keyboard) to keep a record of business transactions.

Biller, machine (billing machine). Uses a special billing m a­
chine (Moon Hopkins, Elliott Fisher, Burroughs, etc. , which are
combination typing and adding machines) to prepare bills and
invoices from customers’ purchase orders, internally prepared orders,
shipping memorandums, etc. Usually involves application of pre­
determined discounts and shipping charges, and entry of necessary
extensions, which may or may not be computed on the billing m a­
chine, and totals which are automatically accumulated by machine.
The operation usually involves a large number of carbon copies of the
bill being prepared and is often done on a fanfold machine.

Class A . Keeps a set of records requiring a knowledge of and
experience in basic bookkeeping principles, and familiarity with the
structure of the particular accounting system used. Determines proper
records and distribution of debit and credit items to be used in each
phase of the work. May prepare consolidated reports, balance sheets,
and other records by hand.
Class B. Keeps a record of one or more phases or sections of
a set of records usually requiring little knowledge of basic book­
keeping. Phases or sections include accounts payable, payroll, cus­
tomers' accounts (not including a simple type of billing described
under biller, machine), cost distribution, expense distribution, in­
ventory control, etc. May check or assist in preparation of trial
balances and prepare control sheets for the accounting department.

Biller, machine (bookkeeping machine). Uses a bookkeeping
machine (Sundstrand, Elliott Fisher, Remington Rand, etc. , which
may or may not have typewriter keyboard) to prepare customers’ bills
as part of the accounts receivable operation. Generally involves the
simultaneous entry of figures on customers* ledger record. The m a­
chine autom atically accumulates figures on a number of vertical




Note: Since the last survey in this area, the Bureau has discontinued collecting data for duplicatingmachine operators and elevator operators.

CLERK, ACCOUNTING
Class A. Under general direction of a bookkeeper or accountant,
has responsibility for keeping one or more sections of a complete set
of books or records relating to one phase of an establishment’s busi­
ness transactions. Work involves posting and balancing subsidiary
ledger or ledgers such as accounts receivable or accounts payable;
examining and coding invoices or vouchers with proper accounting
distribution; and requires judgment and experience in making proper
assignations and allocations. May assist in preparing, adjusting, and
closing journal entries; and may direct class B accounting clerks.
Class B. Under supervision, performs one or more routine a c ­
counting operations such as posting simple journal vouchers or accounts
payable vouchers, entering vouchers in voucher registers; reconciling
bank accounts; and posting subsidiary ledgers controlled by general
ledgers, or posting simple cost accounting data. This job does not
require a knowledge of accounting and bookkeeping principles but
is found in offices in which the more routine accounting woik is
subdivided on a functional basis among several workers.
CLERK, FILE
Class A . In an established filing system containing a number
of varied subject matter files, classifies and indexes file m aterial
such as correspondence, reports, technical documents, etc. May
also file this material. May keep records of various types in con­
junction with the files. May lead a small group of lower level file
clerks.
Class B. Sorts, codes, and files unclassified material by simple
(subject matter) headings or partly classified m aterial by finer sub­
headings. Prepares simple related index and cross-reference aids.
As requested, locates clearly identified material in files and forwards
m aterial. May perform related clerical tasks required to maintain
and service files.
Class C. Performs routine filing of m aterial that has already
been classified or which is easily classified in a simple serial classi­
fication system (e. g . , alphabetical, chronological, or numerical).
