Preface
This bulletin provides results of a May 1980 survey of occupational earnings
and supplementary wage benefits in the Chicago, Illinois, Standard Metropoli
tan Statistical Area. The survey was made as part of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics’ annual area wage survey program. It was conducted by the Bureau’s
regional office in Chicago, 111., under the general direction of Lois L. Orr,
Assistant Regional Commissioner 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.

Introduction
This area is 1 of 71 in which the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of
Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related
benefits. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, earnings data for
selected occupations (A-series tables) are collected annually. Information on
establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits (B-series tables) is
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 metropoli
tan area surveyed; the second presents national and regional estimates,
projected from individual metropolitan area data, for all Standard Metropoli
tan Statistical Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
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 develops 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. Depart
ment of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of
1965.
A-series tables
Tables A-l through A-6 provide estimates of straight-time weekly or hourly
earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and
nonmanufacturing industries. The occupations are defined in appendix B. For
the 31 largest survey areas, tables A-12 through A-17 provide similar data for
establishments employing 500 workers or more.
Table A-l provides indexes and percent changes in average hourly earnings
for office clerical workers, electronic data processing workers, industrial
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org

nurses, skilled maintenance trades workers, and unskilled plant workers.
Where possible, data are presented for all industries and for manufacturing and
nonmanufacturing separately. Data are not presented for skilled maintenance
workers in nonmanufacturing because the number of workers employed in this
occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too small to warrant separate
presentation. This table provides a measure of wage trends after elimination of
changes in average earnings caused by employment shifts among establish
ments as well as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. For
further details, see appendix A.
Tables A-8 through A-ll provide measures of average pay relationships
within establishments. These measures may differ considerably from the pay
relationships of overall area averages published in tables A-l through A-6. See
appendix A for details.
B-series tables
The B-series tables present information on minimum entrance salaries for
inexperienced typists and clerks; late-shift pay provisions and practices for
production and related workers in manufacturing; and data separately for
production and related workers and office workers on scheduled weekly hours
and days of first-shift workers; paid holidays; paid vacations; health, insurance,
and pension plan provisions; and health plan participation.
Appendixes
Appendix A describes the methods and concepts used in the area wage
survey program. It provides information on the scope of the area survey, the
area’s industrial composition in manufacturing, and labor-management agree
ment coverage.
Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field representatives
to classify workers by occupation.

Footnotes
Some of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin.
1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time
salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings
correspond to these weekly hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the
number of workers. The median designates position—half of the workers receive the same or
more and half receive the same or less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two
rates of pay; one-fourth of the workers earn the same or less than the lower of these rates and
one-fourth earn the same or more than the higher rate.
3 Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was provided by the
establishment.
4 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
5 Estimates for periods ending prior to 1976 relate to men only for skilled maintenance and
unskilled plant workers. All other estimates relate to men and women.
6 Data do not meet publication criteria or data not available.
7 Formally established minimum regular straight-time hiring salaries that are paid for standard
workweeks. Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the most common
standard workweeks reported.
* Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as messenger.
9 Includes all production and related workers in establishments currently operating late shifts,
and establishments whose formal provisions cover late shifts, even though the establishments
were not currently operating late shifts.

10 Less than 0.05 percent.
11 Less than 0.5 percent.
13 All combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount; for example, the
proportion of workers receiving a total of 10 days includes those with 10 full days and no half
days, 9 full days and 2 half days, 8 full days and 4 half days, and so on. Proportions then were
cumulated.
13 Includes payments other than ‘length of time,’ such as percentage of annual earnings or flatsum payments, converted to an equivalent time basis; for example, 2 percent of annual earnings
was considered as 1 week’s pay. Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily
reflect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in proportions at 10 years
include changes between 5 and 10 years. Estimates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible
for at least 3 weeks’ pay after 10 years includes those eligible for at least 3 weeks’ pay after
fewer years of service.
14 Estimates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is
borne by the employer. ‘Noncontributory plans’ include only those financed entirely by the
employer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workers’ disability compensation, social
security, and railroad retirement.
15 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance
shown separately. Sick leave plans are 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.
16 Unduplicated total of workers eligible for coverage under an insurance plan providing
hospitalization, sugical, medical, major medical, or dental benefits shown separately.
Appendix A.
Scope and Method
of Survey
In each of the 71 areas1 currently surveyed, the Bureau obtains wages and related
benefits data from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions:
Manufacturing; transportation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale
trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Government
operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded. Establishments
having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are also excluded because of
insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number
of establishments and workers estimated to be within the scope of this survey, as well as
the number actually studied.
Bureau field representatives obtain data by personal visits a^3-year intervals. In each
of the two intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings
only is collected by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and telephone
interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.
A sample of the establishments in the scope of the survey is selected for study prior to
each personal visit survey. This sample, minus establishments which go out of business
or are no longer within the industrial scope of the survey, is retained for the following
two annual surveys. In most cases, establishments new to the area are not considered in
the scope of the survey until the selection of a sample for a personal visit survey.
The sampling 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 probability of selection so
that unbiased estimates are generated. For example, if one out of four establishments is
selected, it is given a weight of 4 to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the
same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classification if data are not
available from 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.
Occupations and earnings
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, toolroom, and powerplant; and (4) material
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
movement and custodial. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job
descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within
the same 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 some of the occupations listed and described, or
for some industry divisions within the scope of the survey, are not presented in the Aseries tables because either (1) data were insufficient to provide meaningful statistical
results, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Separate
men’s and women’s earnings data are not presented when the number of workers not
identified by sex is 20 percent or more of the men or women identified in an occupation.
Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in data for all
industries combined. Likewise, for occupations with more than one level, data are
included in the overall classification when a subclassification 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 excluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly
hours for office clerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard
workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive 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.
Vertical lines within the distribution of workers on some A-tables indicate a change in
the size of the class intervals.
These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular
time. Changes in an occupational average over time reflect, in addition to earnings
changes, factors such as changes in proportions of workers employed by high- or lowwage firms, or high-wage workers advancing to better jobs and being 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.
Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A-7, are better indicators of
wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups.
Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establish
ments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates
for each job. Pay averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among
jobs in individual establishments.
Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupations 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 (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 more generalized than those used in individual establish
ments and allow for minor differences among establishments in specific duties
performed.
Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within
the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational
structures among establishments differ, estimates of occupational employment obtained
from 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.
Wage trends for selected occupational groups
Indexes in table A-7 measure wages at a given time, expressed as a percent of wages
during the base period. Subtracting 100 from the index yields the percent change in
wages from the base period to the date of the index. The percent increases in table A-7
relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of increase, where
shown, reflect the amount of increase for 12 months when the time span between
surveys was other than 12 months. These computations are based on the assumption
that wages increased at a constant rate between surveys.
The indexes and percent increases are based on changes in average hourly earnings of
men and women in establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and
previous year (matched establishments). The data are adjusted to remove the effect on
average earnings of employment shifts among establishments and turnover of establish
ments included in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by
factors other than wage increases. Hirings, layoffs, and turnover may affect an
establishment average for an occupation when workers are paid under plans providing a
range of wage rates for individual jobs. In periods of increased hiring, for example, new
employees may enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a
change in wage rates.

Percent changes for individual areas in the program are computed as follows:
'■ Average earnings are computed for each occupation for the 2 years being
compared. The averages are derived from earnings in those establishments which
are in the survey both years; it is assumed that employment remains unchanged.
2. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment in
the occupational group.
3. These weights are used to compute group averages. Each occupation’s average
earnings (computed in step 1) are multiplied by its weight. The products are
totaled to obtain a group average.
4. The ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the
average for the current year by the average for the earlier year. The result—
expressed as a percent—less 100 is the percent change.
The index is computed by adding 100 to the most recent percent increase, multiplying
the total by the previous year’s index number, and dividing the product by 100 to obtain
the current index value.
For a more detailed description of the method used to compute these wage trends, see
‘Improving Area Wage Survey Indexes,’ Monthly Labor Review, January 1973, pp. 52
57.
Average pay relationships within establishments
Tables A-8 through A-11 present occupational pay relatives derived from compari
sons of job averages within individual establishments. The method of computation is as
follows:
1. A pay relative for any two occupations is computed for each establishment in
which they are found by dividing the average earnings for one occupation by the
average for the other and multiplying by 100 (e.g., $5 divided by $4 = 1.25 times
100 = 125).
2. Each pay relative is weighted by the number of workers in the two occupations
compared and by the weight assigned to the establishment to represent establish
ments not included in the survey sample.
3- The weighted pay relatives for all establishments reporting the two occupations
are summed and divided by the total of the weights to produce the average pay
relatives shown in the tables.
Occupational pay relationships measured in this manner yield considerably different
results than those produced by using overall survey averages such as those shown in
tables A-l through A-6. The former measure the average pay relationships found within
establishments; the latter measure the relationships among job averages in an area. In
addition, the mix of establishments used in the comparisons may differ between the two
methods.
Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
The incidence of selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provi
sions is studied for full-time production and related workers and office workers.
Production and related workers (referred to hereafter as production workers) include
working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders and
trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage,
handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and guard
services, product development, auxiliary production for plant’s own use (e.g., powerplant), and recordkeeping and other services closely associated with the above produc
tion operations. (Cafeteria and route workers are excluded in manufacturing industries
but included in nonmanufacturing industries.) In finance and insurance, no workers are
considered to be production workers. Office workers include working supervisors and
all nonsupervisory workers (including lead workers and trainees) performing clerical or
related office functions in such departments as accounting, advertising, purchasing,
collection, credit, finance, legal, payroll, personnel, sales, industrial relations, public
relations, executive, or transportation. Administrative, executive, professional, and
part-time employees as well as construction workers utilized as separate work forces are
excluded from both the production and office worker categories.
Minimum entrance salaries (table B-l). Minimum entrance salaries for office workers
relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum sampling techniques
used and the probability that large establishments are more likely than small establish
ments to have formal entrance rates above the subclerical level, the table is more
representative of policies in medium and large establishments. (The ‘X’s‘ shown under
specific weekly schedules indicate that no meaningful totals are applicable.)
Shift differentials-manufacturing (table B-2). Data were collected on policies of
manufacturing establishments regarding pay differentials for production workers on
late shifts. Establishments considered as having policies are those which (1) have
provisions in writing covering the operation of late shifts, or (2) have operated late
shifts at any time during the 12 months preceding a survey. When establishments have
several differentials which vary by job, the differential applying to the majority of the
production workers is recorded. When establishments have differentials which apply
only to certain hours of work, the differential applying to the majority of the shift hours
is recorded.
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
For purposes of this study, a late shift is either a second (evening) shift which ends at
or near midnight or a third (night) shift which starts at or near midnight.
Differentials for second and third shifts are summarized separately for (1) establish
ment policies (an establishment’s differentials are weighted by all production workers in
the establishment at the time of the survey) and (2) effective practices (an establish
ment’s differentials are weighted by production workers employed on the specified shift
at the time of the survey).
Scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension
plans. Provisions which apply to a majority of the production or office workers in an
establishment are considered to apply to all production or office workers in the
establishment; a practice or provision is considered nonexistent when it applies to less
than a majority. Holidays, vacations, and health and insurance plans are considered
applicable to employees currently eligible for the benefits. Pension plans are considered
applicable to employees currently eligible for participation and also to those who will
eventually become eligible.
Scheduled weekly hours and days (table B-3). Scheduled weekly hours and days refer to
the number of hours and days per week which full-time first (day) shift workers are
expected to work, whether paid for at straight- time or overtime rates.
Paid holidays (table B-4). Holidays are included if workers who are not required to work
are paid for the time off and those required to work receive premium pay or
compensatory time off. They are included only if they are granted annually on a formal
basis (provided for in written form or established by custom). Holidays are included
even though in a particular year they fall on a nonworkday and employees are not
granted another day off. Paid personal holiday plans, typically found in the automobile
and related industries, are included as paid holidays.
Data are tabulated to show the percent of workers who (1) are granted specific
numbers of whole and half holidays and (2) are granted specified amounts of total
holiday time (whole and half holidays are aggregated).
Paid vacations (table B-5). Establishments report their method of calculating vacation
pay (time basis, percent of annual earnings, flat-sum payment, etc.) and the amount of
vacation pay granted. Only basic formal plans are reported. Vacation bonuses,
vacation-savings plans, and ‘extended’ or ‘sabbatical’ benefits beyond basic plans are
excluded.
For tabulating vacation pay granted, all provisions are expressed on a time basis.
Vacation pay calculated on other than a time basis is converted to its equivalent time
period. Two percent of annual earnings, for example, is tabulated as 1 week’s vacation
pay.
Also, provisions after each specified length of service are related to all production or
office workers in an establishment regardless of length of service. Vacation plans
commonly provide for a larger amount of vacation pay as service lengthens. Counts of
production or office workers by length of service were not obtained. The tabulations of
vacation pay granted present, therefore, statistical measures of these provisions rather
than proportions of workers actually receiving specific benefits.
Health, insurance, and pension plans (table B-6). Health, insurance, and pension plans
include plans for which the employer pays either all or part of the cost. The benefits
may be underwritten by an insurance company, paid directly by an employer or union,
or provided by a health maintenance oganization. This year, for the first time in this
area, provisions for health maintenance organizations (HMO’s) are treated separately
from insurance provisions. Workers provided the option of an insurance plan or an
HMO are reported under both types of plans. A plan is included even though a majority
of the employees in an establishment do not choose to participate in it because they are
required to bear part of its cost (provided the choice to participate is available or will
eventually become available to a majority). Legally required plans such as social
security, railroad retirement, workers’ disability compensation, and temporary disabili
ty insurance4 are excluded.
Life insurance includes formal plans providing indemnity (usually through an
insurance policy) in case of death of the covered worker.
Accidental death and dismemberment insurance is limited to plans which provide
benefit payments in case of death or loss of limb or sight as a direct result of an accident.
Sickness and accident insurance includes only those plans which provide that
predetermined cash payments be made directly to employees who lose time from work
because of illness or injury, e.g., $50 a week for up to 26 weeks of disability.
Sick leave plans are limited to formal plans5 which provide for continuing an
employee’s pay during absence from work because of illness. Data collected distinguish
between (1) plans which provide full pay with no waiting period, and (2) plans which
either provide partial pay or require a waiting period.
Long-term disability insurance plans provide payments 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). Payments are made until
the end of the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Full or
partial payments are almost always reduced by social security, workers’ disability
compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled employee.
Hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance plans reported in these surveys
provide full or partial payment for basic services rendered. Hospitalization insurance
covers hospital room and board and may cover other hospital expenses. Surgical
insurance covers surgeons’ fees. Medical insurance covers doctors’ fees for home,
office, or hospital calls. Plans restricted to post-operative medical care or a doctor’s
care for minor ailments at a worker's place of employment are not considered to be
medical insurance.
Major medical insurance coverage applies to services which go beyond the basic
services covered under hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance. Major medical
insurance typically (1) requires that a ‘deductible’ (e.g., $100) be met before benefits
begin, (2) has a coinsurance feature that requires the insured to pay a portion (e.g., 20
percent) of certain expenses, and (3) has a specified dollar maximum of benefits (e.g.,
$10,000 a year).
Dental insurance plans provide normal dental service benefits, usually for fillings,
extractions, and X-rays. Plans which provide benefits only for oral surgery or repairing
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
accident damage are not reported.
A health maintenance organization (HMO) provides a wide range of health care
services to a specified group for fixed periodic payments. An HMO directly provides
comprehensive health care services rather than indemnification or reimbursement for
medical, surgical, and hospital expenses.
Retirement pension plans provide for regular payments to the retiree for life.
Included are deferred profit-sharing plans which provide the option of purchasing a
lifetime annuity.
Health plan participation (table B-7). Estimates are presented on the percents of
production and office workers participating in selected health insurance and health
maintenance organization plans.
1 Includes 70 areas surveyed under the Bureau’s regular program plus Poughkeepsie-KingstonNewburgh, N.Y., which is surveyed under contract. In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited
area studies in approximately 100 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administra
tion of the U.S. Department of Labor.
2 A revised 4-level job description for accounting clerks, being introduced in this survey, is not
comparable to the previous 2-level description. Earnings of workers that could be compared to the
previous overall level were used in wage trend computations.
3 The earnings of computer operators are included in the wage trend computation for this group
in the following areas only: Albany-Schenectady-Troy, N.Y.; Fresno, Calif.; Hartford, Conn.;
Newark, N.J.; Paterson-Clifton-Passaic, N.J.; Poughkeepsie, N.Y.; Poughkeepsie-KingstonNewburgh, N.Y., and Worcester, Mass. In other areas, a revised job description, which is not
equivalent to the previous description, is being introduced.
4 Temporary disability insurance which provides benefits to covered workers disabled by injury
or illness which is not work-connected is mandatory under State laws in California, New Jersey,
New York, and Rhode Island. Establishment plans which meet only the legal requirements are
excluded from these data, but those under which (1) employers contribute more than is legally
required or (2) benefits exceed those specified in the State law are included. In Rhode Island,
benefits are paid out of a State fund to which only employees contribute. In each of the other three
States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan.
State fund financing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey,
employees and employers contribute; in New York, employees contribute up to a specified
maximum and employers pay the difference between the employees’ share and the total
contribution required.
Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required to
contribute more than they would if they were covered by the State fund; in New York, employees
can agree to contribute more if the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate
with the benefit provided.
Federal legislation (Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act) provides temporary disability
insurance benefits to railroad workers for illness or injury, whether work-connected or not. The
legislation requires that employers bear the entire cost of the insurance.
5 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the minimum
number of days of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but
informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

'The Chicago Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget through February
1974, consists of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties. The ‘workers within scope of study’ estimates 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 statistical series to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of
wage 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 The 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used to classify establishments by industry division. All
government operations are excluded from the scope of the survey.
3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of
nonmanufacturing companies are considered as one establishment when located within the same industry division.

Note: An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all production or
office workers if a majority of such workers is covered by a labor-management
agreement. Therefore, all other production or office workers are employed in
establishments that either do not have labor-management contracts in effect, or have
contracts that apply to fewer than half of their production or office workers. Estimates
are not necessarily representative of the extent to which all workers in the area may be
covered by the provisions of labor-management agreements, because small establish
ments are excluded and the industrial scope of the survey is limited.

Occupational
Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is
to assist its field representatives 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 grouping
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 representatives are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; and
part-time, temporary, and probationary workers. Handicapped workers whose earnings
are reduced because of their handicap are also excluded. Learners, beginners, and
trainees, unless specifically included in the job description, are excluded.
Listed below are several occupations for which revised descriptions or titles are
being introduced in this survey:
Accounting clerk
Key entry operator
Computer operator
Drafter
Stationary engineer
Boiler tender
The Bureau has discontinued collecting data for tabulating-machine operator,
bookkeeping-machine operator, and machine biller.
Office
a.
Positions which do not meet the ‘personal’ secretary concept described
above;
b.
Stenographers not fully trained in secretarial-type duties;
c.
Stenographers serving as office assistants to a group of professional,
technical, or managerial persons;
d.
Assistant-type positions which entail more difficult or more responsible
technical, administrative, or supervisory duties which are not typical of
secretarial work, e.g., Administrative Assistant, or Executive Assistant;
e.
Positions which do not fit any of the situations listed in the sections below
titled ‘Level of Supervisor,’ e.g., secretary to the president of a company
that employs, in all, over 5,000 persons;
f-
Trainees.
Classification by Level. Secretary jobs which meet the required characteristics are
matched at one of five levels according to (a) the level of the secretary’s supervisor
within the company’s organizational structure and, (b) the level of the secretary’s
responsibility. The tabulation following the explanations of these two factors indicates
the level of the secretary for each combination of the factors.
Level ofSecretary’s Supervisor (LS)
SECRETARY
Assigned as a personal secretary, normally to one individual. Maintains a close and
highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activities of the supervisor. Works
fairly independently receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance.
Performs varied clerical and secretarial duties requiring a knowledge of office routine
and understanding of the organization, programs, and procedures related to the work of
the supervisor.
Exclusions. Not all positions that are titled ‘secretary’ possess the above characteristics.
Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows:
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
LS-1
a.
b.
Secretary to the supervisor or head of a small organizational unit (e.g.,
fewer than about 25 or 30 persons); or
Secretary to a nonsupervisory staff specialist, professional employee,
administrative officer or assistant, skilled technician or expert. (NOTE:
Many companies assign stenographers, rather than secretaries as described
above, to this level of supervisory or nonsupervisory worker.)
LS-2
a-
b.
Level ofSecretary’s Responsibility (LR)
Secretary to an executive or managerial person whose responsibility is not
equivalent to one of the specific level situations in the definition for LS-3,
but whose organizational unit normally numbers at least several dozen
employees and is usually divided into organizational segments which are
often, in turn, further subdivided. In some companies, this level includes a
wide range of organizational echelons; in others, only one or two; or
Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other
equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, fewer than 5,000 persons.
This factor evaluates the nature of the work relationship between the secretary and
the supervisor, and the extent to which the secretary is expected to exercise initiative
and judgment. Secretaries should be matched at LR-1 or LR-2 described below
according to their level of responsibility.
LR-1
Performs varied secretarial duties including or comparable to most of the
following:
LS-3
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that
employs, in all, fewer than 100 persons; or
Secretary to a corporate officer (other than chairman of the board or
president) of a company that employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5,000
persons; or
Secretary to the head (immediately below the officer level) over either a
major corporatewide functional activity (e.g., marketing, research, oper
ations, industrial relations, etc.) or a major geographic or organizational
segment (e.g., a regional headquarters; a major division) of a company that
employs, in all, over 5,000 but fewer than 25,000 employees; or
Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other
equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, over 5,000 persons; or
Secretary to the head of a large and important organizational segment
(e.g., a middle management supervisor of an organizational segment often
involving as many as several hundred persons) of a company that employs,
in all, over 25,000 persons.
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
LR-2
Performs duties described under LR-1 and, in addition performs tasks requiring
greater judgment, initiative, and knowledge of office functions including or compara
ble to most of the following:
a.
b.
LS-4
a.
b.
c.
Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that
employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5,000 persons; or
Secretary to a corporate officer (other than the chairman of the board or
president) of a company that employs, in all, over 5,000 but fewer than
25,000 persons; or
Secretary to the head, immediately below the corporate officer level, of a
major segment or subsidiary of a company that employs, in all, over 25,000
persons.
NOTE: The term ‘corporate officer’ used in the above LS definition refers to those
officials who have a significant corporatewide policymaking role with regard to major
company activities. The title ‘vice president,’ though normally indicative of this role,
does not in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose primary responsibili
ty is to act personally on individual cases or transactions (e.g., approve or deny
individual loan or credit actions; administer individual trust accounts; directly supervise
a clerical staff) are not considered to be ‘corporate officers’ for purposes of applying the
definition.

clerical work. Exclude positions that require operation of a motor vehicle as a
significant duty.
SWITCHBOARD OPERATOR
Operates a telephone switchboard or console used with a private branch exchange
(PBX) system to relay incoming, outgoing, and intrasystem calls. May provide
information to callers, record and transmit messages, keep record of calls placed and
toll charges. Besides operating a telephone switchboard or console, may also type or
perform routine clerical work (typing or routine clerical work may occupy the major
portion of the worker’s time, and is usually performed while at the switchboard or
console). Chief or lead operators in establishments employing more than one operator
are excluded. For an operator who also acts as a receptionist, see Switchboard
Operator-Receptionist.
SWITCHBOARD OPERATOR-RECEPTIONIST
Class A. Performs one or more of the following: Typing material in final form when it
involves combining material from several sources; or responsibility for correct spelling,
syllabication, punctuation, etc., of technical or unusual words or foreign language
material; or planning layout and typing of complicated statistical tables to maintain
uniformity and balance in spacing. May type routine form letters, varying details to suit

ledgers; reconciling bank accounts; verifying the internal consistency, completeness,
and mathematical accuracy of accounting documents; assigning prescribed accounting
distribution codes; examining and verifying the clerical accuracy of various types of
reports, lists, calculations, postings, etc.; preparing journal vouchers; or making entries
or adjustments to accounts.
Levels C and D require a basic knowledge of routine clerical methods and office
practices and procedures as they relate to the clerical processing and recording of
transactions and accounting information. Levels A and B require a knowledge and
understanding of the established and standardized bookkeeping and accounting proce
dures and techniques used in an accounting system, or a segment of an accounting
system, where there are few variations in the types of transactions handled. In addition,
some jobs at each level may require a basic knowledge and understanding of the
terminology, codes, and processes used in an automated accounting system.
Class A. Maintains journals or subsidiary ledgers of an accounting system and balances
and reconciles accounts. Typical duties include one or both of the following: Reviews
invoices and statements (verifying information, ensuring sufficient funds have been
obligated, and if questionable, resolving with the submitting unit, determining accounts
involved, coding transactions, and processing material through data processing for
application in the accounting system); and/or analyzes and reconciles computer
printouts with operating unit reports (contacting units and researching causes of
discrepancies, and taking action to ensure that accounts balance). Employee resolves
problems in recurring assignments in accordance with previous training and experience.
Supervisor provides suggestions for handling unusual or on-recurring transactions.
Conformance with requirements and technical soundness of completed work are
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
reviewed by the supervisor or are controlled by mechanisms built into the accounting
system. NOTE: Excluded from class A are positions responsible for maintaining either a
general ledger or a general ledger in combination with subsidiary accounts.
Class B. Uses a knowledge of double entry bookkeeping in performing one or more of
the following: Posts actions to journals, identifying subsidiary accounts affected and
debit and credit entries to be made and assigning proper codes; reviews computer
printouts against manually maintained journals, detecting and correcting erroneous
postings, and preparing documents to adjust accounting classifications and other data;
or reviews lists of transactions rejected by an automated system, determining reasons
for rejections, and preparing necessary correcting material. On routine assignments,
employee selects and applies established procedures and techniques. Detailed instruc
tions are provided for difficult or unusual assignments. Completed work and methods
used are reviewed for technical accuracy.
Class C. Performs one or more routine accounting clerical operations such as:
Examining, verifying, and correcting accounting transactions to ensure completeness
and accuracy of data and proper identification of accounts, and checking that
expenditures will not exceed obligations in specified accounts; totaling; balancing, and
reconciling collection vouchers; posting data to transaction sheets where employee
identifies proper accounts and items to be posted; and coding documents in accordance
with a chart (listing) of accounts. Employee follows specific and detailed accounting
procedures. Completed work is reviewed for accuracy and compliance with proce
dures.
Class D. Performs very simple and routine accounting clerical operations, for example,
recognizing and comparing easily identified numbers and codes on similar and
repetitive accounting documents, verifying mathematical accuracy, and identifying
discrepancies and bringing them to the supervisor’s attention. Supervisor gives clear
and detailed instructions for specific assignments. Employee refers to supervisor all
matters not covered by instructions. Work is closely controlled and reviewed in detail
for accuracy, adequacy, and adherence to instructions.
PAYROLL CLERK
Performs the clerical tasks necessary to process payrolls and to maintain payroll
records. Work involves most of the following-. Processing workers’ time or production
records; adjusting workers’ records for changes in wage rates, supplementary benefits,
or tax deductions; editing payroll listings against source records; tracing and correcting
errors in listings; and assisting in preparation of periodic summary payroll reports. In a
nonautomated payroll system, computes wages. Work may require a practical knowl
edge of governmental regulations, company payroll policy, or the computer system for
processing payrolls.
KEY ENTRY OPERATOR
Operates keyboard-controlled data entry device such as keypunch machine or keyoperated magnetic tape or disk encoder to transcribe data into a form suitable for
computer processing. Work requires skill in operating an alphanumeric keyboard and
an understanding of transcribing procedures and relevant data entry equipment.
Positions are classified into levels on the basis of the following definitions:
Class A. Work requires the application of experience and judgment in selecting
procedures to be followed and in searching for, interpreting, selecting, or coding items
to be entered from a variety of source documents. On occasion may also perform
routine work as described for class B.
NOTE: Excluded are operators above class A using the key entry controls to access,
read, and evaluate the substance of specific records to take substantive actions, or to
make entries requiring a similar level of knowledge.
Class B. Work is routine and repetitive. Under close supervision or following specific
procedures or detailed instructions, works from various standardized source documents
which have been coded and require little or no selecting, coding, or interpreting of data
to be entered. Refers to supervisor problems arising from erroneous items, codes, or
missing information.
Professional and Technical
COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANALYST, BUSINESS
Analyzes business problems to formulate procedures for solving them by use of
electronic data processing equipment. Develops a complete description of all specifica
tions needed to enable programmers to prepare required digital computer programs.
Work involves most of the following-. Analyzes subject-matter operations to be
automated and identifies conditions and criteria required to achieve satisfactory results;
specifies number and types of records, files, and documents to be used; outlines actions
to be performed by personnel and computers in sufficient detail for presentation to
management and for programming (typically this involves preparation of work and
data flow charts); coordinates the development of test problems and participates in trial
runs of new and revised systems; and recommends equipment changes to obtain more
effective overall operations. (NOTE: Workers performing both systems analysis and
programming should be classified as systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine
their pay.)
Does not include employees primarily responsible for the management or supervision
of other electronic data processing employees, or systems analysts primarily concerned
with scientific or engineering problems.
For wage study purposes, systems analysts are classified as follows:
Class A. Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems
involving all phases of systems analysis. Problems are complex because of diverse
sources of input data and multiple-use requirements of output data. (For example,
develops an integrated production scheduling, inventory control, cost analysis, and
sales analysis record in which every item of each type is automatically processed
through the full system of records and appropriate follow-up actions are initiated by the
computer.) Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing problems
and advises subject-matter personnel on the implications of new or revised systems of
data processing operations. Makes recommendations, if needed, for approval of major
systems installations or changes and for obtaining equipment.
May provide functional direction to lower level systems analysts who are assigned to
assist.
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
Class B. Works independently or under only general direction on problems that are
relatively uncomplicated to analyze, plan, program, and operate. Problems are of
limited complexity because sources of input data are homogeneous and the output data
are closely related. (For example, develops systems for maintaining depositor accounts
in a bank, maintaining accounts receivable in a retail establishment, or maintaining
inventory accounts in a manufacturing or wholesale establishment.) Confers with
persons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises subjectmatter personnel on the implications of the data processing systems to be applied. OR
Works on a segment of a complex data processing scheme or system, as described for
class A. Works independently on routine assignments and receives instruction and
guidance on complex assignments. Work is reviewed for accuracy of judgment,
compliance with instructions, and to insure proper alignment with the overall system.
Class C. Works under immediate supervision, carrying out analyses as assigned, usually
of a single activity. Assignments are designed to develop and expand practical
experience in the application of procedures and skills required for systems analysis
work. For example, may assist a higher level systems analyst by preparing the detailed
specifications required by programmers from information developed by the higher
level analyst.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMER, BUSINESS
Converts statements of business problems, typically prepared by a systems analyst,
into a sequence of detailed instructions which are required to solve the problems by
automatic data processing equipment. Working from charts or diagrams, the program
mer develops the precise instructions which, when entered into the computer system in
coded language, cause the manipulation of data to achieve desired results. Work
involves most of the following-. Applies knowledge of computer capabilities, mathemat
ics, logic employed by computers, and particular subject matter involved to analyze
charts and diagrams of the problem to be programmed; develops sequence of program
steps; writes detailed flow charts to show order in which data will be processed;
converts these charts to coded instructions for machine to follow; tests and corrects
programs; prepares instructions for operating personnel during production run;
analyzes, reviews, and alters programs to increase operating efficiency or adapt to new
requirements; maintains records of program development and revisions. (NOTE:
Workers performing both systems analysis and programming should be classified as
systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)
Does not include employees primarily responsible for the management or supervision
of other electronic data processing employees, or programmers primarily concerned
with scientific and/or engineering problems.
For wage study purposes, programmers are classified as follows:
Class A. Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems
which require competence in all phases of programming concepts and practices.
Working from diagrams and charts which identify the nature of desired results, major
processing steps to be accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the
problem solving routine; plans the full range of programming actions needed to
efficiently utilize the computer system in achieving desired end products.
At this level, programming is difficult because computer equipment must be
organized to produce several interrelated but diverse products from numerous and
diverse data elements. A wide variety and extensive number of internal processing
actions must occur. This requires such actions as development of common operations
which can be reused, establishment of linkage points between operations, adjustments
to data when program requirements exceed computer storage capacity, and substantial
manipulation and resequencing of data elements to form a highly integrated program.
May provide functional direction to lower level programmers who are assigned to
assist.
Class B. Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple
programs, or on simple segments of complex programs. Programs (or segments) usually
process information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or formats.
Reports and listings are produced by refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor
additions to or deletions from input data which are readily available. While numerous
records may be processed, the data have been refined in prior actions so that the
accuracy and sequencing of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically,
the program deals with routine recordkeeping operations. OR
Works on complex programs (as described for class A) under close direction of a
higher level programmer or supervisor. May assist higher level programmer by
independently performing less difficult tasks assigned, and performing more difficult
tasks under fairly close direction.
May guide or instruct lower level programmers.
Class C. Makes practical applications of programming practices and concepts usually
learned in formal training courses. Assignments are designed to develop competence in
the application of standard procedures to routine problems. Receives close supervision
on new aspects of assignments; and work is reviewed to verify its accuracy and
conformance with required procedures.
COMPUTER OPERATOR
In accordance with operating instructions, monitors and operates the control console
of a digital computer to process data. Executes runs by either serial processing
(processes one program at a time) or multiprocessing (processes two or more programs
simultaneously). The following duties characterize the work of a computer operator:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Studies operating instructions to determine equipment setup needed.
Loads equipment with requireditems (tapes, cards, disks, paper, etc.).
Switches necessary auxiliary equipment into system.
Starts and operates computer.
Responds to operating and computer output instructions.
Reviews error messages and makes corrections during operation or refers
problems.
Maintains operating record.
May test-run new or modified programs. May assist in modifying systems or
programs. The scope of this definition includes trainees working to become fully
qualified computer operators, fully qualified computer operator, and lead operators
providing technical assistance to lower level operators. It excludes workers who
monitor and operate remote terminals.
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
Class A. In addition to work assignments described for a class B operator (see below) the
work of a class A operator involves at least one of the following:
•
•
•
•
Deviates from standard procedures to avoid the loss of information or to
conserve computer time even though the procedures applied materially
alter the computer unit’s production plans.
Tests new programs, applications, and procedures.
Advises programmers and subject-matter experts on setup techniques.
Assists in (1) maintaining, modifying, and developing operating systems or
programs; (2) developing operating instructions and techniques to cover
problem situations; and/or (3) switching to emergency backup procedures
(such assistance requires a working knowledge of program language,
computer features, and software systems).
An operator at this level typically guides lower level operators.
Class B. In addition to established production runs, work assignments include runs
involving new programs, applications, and procedures (i.e., situations which require the
operator to adapt to a variety of problems). At this level, the operator has the training
and experience to work fairly independently in carrying out most assignments.
Assignments may require the operator to select from a variety of standard setup and
operating procedures. In responding to computer output instructions or error condi
tions, applies standard operating or corrective procedures, but may deviate from
standard procedures when standard procedures fail if deviation does not materially
alter the computer unit’s production plans. Refers the problem or aborts the program
when procedures applied do not provide a solution. May guide lower level operators.
Class C. Work assignments are limited to established production runs (i.e., programs
which present few operating problems). Assignments may consist primarily of on-thejob training (sometimes augmented by classroom instruction). When learning to run
programs, the supervisor or a higher level operator provides detailed written or oral
guidance to the operator before and during the run. After the operator has gained
experience with a program, however, the operator works fairly independently in
applying standard operating or corrective procedures in responding to computer
output instructions or error conditions, but refers problems to a higher level operator or
the supervisor when standard procedures fail.
PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT OPERATOR
Operates peripheral equipment which directly supports digital computer operations.
Such equipment is uniquely and specifically designed for computer applications, but
need not be physically or electronically connected to a computer. Printers, plotters,
card read/punches, tape readers, tape units or drives, disk units or drives, and data
display units are examples of such equipment.
The following duties characterize the work of a peripheral equipment operator:
•
•
Loading printers and plotters with correct paper; adjusting controls for
forms, thickness, tension, printing density, and location; and unloading
hard copy.
Labelling tape reels, disks, or card decks.
•
•
•
•
Checking labels and mounting and dismounting designated tape reels or
disks on specified units or drives.
Setting controls which regulate operation of the equipment.
Observing panel lights for warnings and error indications and taking
appropriate action.
Examining tapes, cards, or other material for creases, tears, or other
defects which could cause processing problems.
This classification excludes workers (1) who monitor and operate a control console
(see computer operator) or a remote terminal, or (2) whose duties are limited to
operating decollaters, bursters, separators, or similar equipment.
COMPUTER DATA LIBRARIAN
Maintains library of media (tapes, disks, cards, cassettes) used for automatic data
processing applications. The following or similar duties characterize the work of a
computer data librarian: Classifying, cataloging, and storing media in accordance with a
standardized system; upon proper requests, releasing media for processing; maintaining
records of releases and returns; inspecting returned media for damage or excessive wear
to determine whether or not they need replacing. May perform minor repairs to
damaged tapes.
DRAFTER
Performs drafting work requiring knowledge and skill in drafting methods, procedures,
and techniques. Prepares drawings of structures, mechanical and electrical equipment,
piping and duct systems and other similar equipment, systems, and assemblies. Uses
recognized systems of symbols, legends, shadings, and lines having specific meanings in
drawings. Drawings are used to communicate engineering ideas, designs, and informa
tion in support of engineering functions.
The following are excluded when they constitute the primary purpose of the job:
•
•
•
•
•
Design work requiring the technical knowledge, skill, and ability to
conceive or originate designs;
Illustrating work requiring artistic ability;
Work involving the preparation of charts, diagrams, room arrangements,
floor plans, etc.;
Cartographic work involving the preparation of maps or plats and related
materials, and drawings of geological structures; and
Supervisory work involving the management of a drafting program or the
supervision of drafters.
Positions are classified into levels on the basis of the following definitions.
selecting and interpreting data based on a knowledge of the design intent. Although
working primarily as a drafter, may occasionally perform engineering design work in
interpreting general designs prepared by others or in completing missing design details.
May provide advice and guidance to lower level drafters or serve as coordinator and
planner for large and complex drafting projects.
Class B. Prepares complete sets of complex drawings which include multiple views,
detail drawings, and assembly drawings. Drawings include complex design features
that require considerable drafting skill to visualize and portray. Assignments regularly
require the use of mathematical formulas to compute weights, load capacities,
dimensions, quantities of materials, etc. Working from sketches and verbal information
supplied by an engineer or designer, determines the most appropriate views, detail
drawings, and supplementary information needed to complete assignments. Selects
required information from precedents, manufacturers’ catalogs, and technical guides.
Independently resolves most of the problems encountered. Supervisor or designer may
suggest methods of approach or provide advice on unusually difficult problems.
