Preface
The Bureau of L a b o r S ta tis tic s p ro g ra m of annual occupa

It y ie ld s d eta iled data by s e le c te d industry
d ivisio n fo r each of the a rea s studied, fo r geograp h ic reg io n s, and fo r
the United States. A m a jo r co n sid era tio n in the p ro g ra m is the need
fo r g r e a te r insight into (1) the m ovem en t o f w ages by occupational
c a te g o ry and s k ill le v e l, and (2) the stru ctu re and le v e l of w ages among
a rea s and industry d iv is io n s .
A t the end of each s u rv e y , an individual area bu lletin p r e
sents the re s u lts . A ft e r com p letion o f a ll individual area bulletins
fo r a round o f su rvey s, two su m m ary bulletins are issued. The fir s t

This a rea is 1 o f 94 in which the U.S. D epartm ent o f L a b o r's
Bureau of L a b o r S tatistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings
and re la te d ben efits on an area w id e b a s is .1 In this a rea , data w e re ob

establish m en ts within s ix broad industry d ivis io n s : M anufacturing:
tran sp ortation , com m unication, and other public u tilitie s ; w h olesale
tra d e: r e ta il trad e; finance, insurance, and re a l estate; and s e r v ic e s .
M a jo r industry groups excluded fro m these studies a re governm ent
operation s and the construction and e x tra c tiv e in d u stries. E sta b lish
m ents having fe w e r than a p re s c rib e d number of w o rk e rs a re om itted
because they tend to furnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations
studied to w arran t inclusion. Separate tabulations a re p rovid ed fo r
each o f the broad industry d ivisio n s which m eet publication c r ite r ia .
Occupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r
fu ll-tim e w o rk ers, i.e ., those h ired to w ork a reg u la r w eek ly schedule.
Earnings data exclude prem iu m pay fo r o v e rtim e and fo r w ork on
w eekends, h olid ays, and late sh ifts. Nonproduction bonuses a re e x
cluded, but c o s t- o f- liv in g allow ances and in cen tive earnings a re in
cluded. W here w eek ly hours a re rep orted , as fo r o ffic e c le r ic a l occu

h alf hour) fo r which em ployees r e c e iv e th e ir reg u la r stra igh t-tim e
s a la rie s (e x c lu s iv e o f pay fo r o v e rtim e at reg u la r and/or prem ium
ra te s ).
A v e r a g e w eek ly earnings fo r these occupations have been
rounded to the n ea rest h alf d o lla r.
T h ese surveys a re conducted on a sam ple basis because o f
the u n n ecessary cost in volved in su rveyin g a ll establish m en ts. To
obtain optim um accu racy at m inim um cost, a g r e a te r p rop ortion of
la r g e than o f sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data,
h o w e v e r, a ll establishm ents a re given th e ir ap p rop riate w eight. E s t i
m ates based on the establishm ents studied a re presen ted , th e re fo re ,
as re la tin g to a ll establishm ents in the industry grouping and area ,
except fo r those below the m inim um s ize studied.
T h ese su rveys m easu re the le v e l of occupational earnings in
an a rea at a p a rticu la r tim e. C om parisons o f individual occupational
a vera g es o v e r tim e m ay not r e fle c t expected w age changes.
The
a vera g es fo r individual jobs a re affected by changes in w ages and
em ploym ent pattern s. F o r exam ple, prop ortion s o f w o rk ers em ployed
by high- o r lo w -w a g e firm s m ay change or h igh -w age w ork ers m ay
advance to b e tte r jobs and be rep laced by new w o rk e rs at lo w er ra tes.
Such shifts in em ploym ent could d ec re a s e an occupational a vera g e even
though m ost establishm ents in an a rea in c re a s e w ages during the y e a r.
Tren ds in earnings o f occupational groups, shown in table 2, a re
better in d ica tors o f w age trends than individual jobs within the groups.
Occupations and Earnings
The occupations selected fo r study a re com m on to a v a rie ty

(1) O ffic e c le r ic a l; (2) p ro fe s s io n a l and technical;
(3) m aintenance and pow erplant; and (4) cu stodial and m a te ria l m o v e

Changes in the la b or fo r c e can cause in c re a s e s o r d ec re a s e s in the
