Preface
The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual occupa­
tional wage surveys in metropolitan areas is designed to provide data
on occupational earnings, and establishment practices and supplemen­
tary wage provisions.
It yields detailed data by selected industry
division for each of the areas studied, for geographic regions, and
for the United States. A major consideration in the program is the
need for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages by occupa­
tional cateogry and skill level, and (2) the structure and level of wages
among areas and industry divisions.
At the end of each survey, an individual area bulletin pre­
sents the results.
After completion of all individual area bulletins
for a round of surveys, two summary bulletins are issued. The first
brings data for each of the metropolitan areas studied into one bulletin.
The second presents information which has been projected from indi­
vidual metropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and the
United States.
Ninety areas currently are included in the program. In each
area, information on occupational earnings is collected annually and on
establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions biennially.
This bulletin presents results of the survey in Dayton, Ohio,
in December 1971.
The Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as
defined by the Office of Management and Budget (formerly the Bureau
of the Budget) through January 1968, consists of Greene, Miami,
Montgomery, and Preble Counties. This study was conducted by the
Bureau's regional office in Chicago, 111. , under the general direction
of Lois L. Orr. Assistant Regional Director for Operations.

A current report on occupational earnings and supplemen­
tary wage provisions in the Dayton area is also available for
selected laundry and dry cleaning occupations (December 1971).
Union wage rates, indicative of prevailing pay levels, are
available for building construction; printing; local-transit opera­
ting employees; local truckdrivers and helpers; and grocery
store employees.

In tro d u c tio n
This area is 1 of 90 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's
Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings
and related benefits on an areawide b a sis.1 In this area, data were ob­
tained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to 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.
Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government
operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establish­
ments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted
because they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations
studied to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided for
each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.

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 ex­
cluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive earnings are in­
cluded. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occu­
pations, reference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest
half hour) for which employees receive their regular straight-time
salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium
rates).
Average weekly earnings for these occupations have been
rounded to the nearest half dollar.
These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in
an area at a particular time. Comparisons of individual occupational
averages over time may not reflect expected wage changes. The
averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and
employment patterns. For example, proportions of workers employed
by high- or low-wage firms may change or high-wage workers may
advance to better jobs and be 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.
Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table 2, are
better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups.

These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of
the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishments. To
obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of
large than of small establishments is studied. In combining the data,
however, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. E sti­
mates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore,
as relating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area,
except for those below the minimum size studied.
Occupations and Earnings
The 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 and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material move­
ment. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job
descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation
in duties within the same job. The occupations selected for study
are listed and described in the appendix. Unless otherwise indicated,
the earnings data following the job titles are for all industries com­
bined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described,
or for some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented
in the A -se rie s tables, because either (1) employment in the occupa­
tion is too small to provide enough data to merit presentation, or
(2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included
in all industries combined data, where shown. Likewise, data are
included in the overall classification when a subclassification of sec­
retaries or truckdrivers is not shown or information to subclassify
is not available.

The averages presented reflect composite, areawide esti­
mates.
Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job
staffing and, thus, contribute differently to the estimates for each job.
The pay relationship obtainable from the averages may fail to reflect
accurately the wage spread or differential maintained among jobs in
individual establishments. Similarly, differences in average pay levels
for men and women in any of-the selected occupations should not be
assumed to reflect differences in pay treatment of the sexes within
individual establishments.
Other possible factors which may con­
tribute to differences in pay for men and women include: Differences
in progression within established rate ranges, since only the actual
rates paid incumbents are collected; and differences in specific duties
performed, although the workers are classified appropriately within
the same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying
employees in these surveys are usually more generalized than those
used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences
among establishments in the specific duties performed.
Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all

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.
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Information is presented (in the B -se rie s tables) on selected
establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions as they
relate to plant- and officeworkers. Data for industry divisions not
presented separately are included in the estimates for "a ll industries."
Administrative, executive, and professional employees, and construc­
tion workers who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded.
"Plantworkers" include working foremen and all nonsupervisory work­
ers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions.
"Officeworkers" include w o r k in g supervisors and nonsupervisory
workers performing clerical or related functions. Cafeteria workers
and routemen are excluded in manufacturing industries, but included
in nonmanufacturing industries.
Minimum entrance salaries for women officeworkers (table
B -l) relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum
sampling techniques used, and the probability that large establish­
ments are more likely to have formal entrance rates for workers
above the subclerical level than small establishments, the table is
more-representative of policies in medium and large establishments.
Shift differential data (table B-2) are limited to plantworkers
in manufacturing industries. This information is presented both in
terms of (1) establishment policy, 2 presented in terms of total plantworker employment, and (2) effective practice, presented in terms
of workers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the
survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount
applying to a majority was used or, if no amount applied to a majority,
the classification "other" was used. In establishments in which some
late-shift hours are paid at normal rates, a differential was recorded
only if it applied to a majority of the shift hours.
The scheduled weekly hours and days (table B -3) of a m a­
jority of the first-shift workers in an establishment are tabulated as
applying to all of the plant- or officeworkers of that establishment.
Scheduled weekly hours and days are those which a majority of full­
time employees were expected to work, whether they were paid for at
straight-time or overtime rates.
Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pen­
sion plans (tables B -4 through B-6) are treated statistically on the
basis that these are applicable to all plant- or officeworkers if a

majority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify for
the practices listed. Sums of individual items in tables B -2 through
B -6 may not equal totals because of rounding.
Data on paid holidays (table B -4) are limited to data on holi­
days granted annually on a formal basis; i.e ., (1) are provided for in
written form, or (2) have been established by custom. Holidays ordi­
narily granted are included even though they may fall on a nonworkday
and the worker is not granted another day off. The first part of the
paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays
actually granted. The second part combines whole and half holidays
to show total holiday tim e.
The summary of vacation plans (table B -5) is limited to a
statistical measure of vacation provisions. It is not intended as a
measure of the proportion of workers actually receiving specific bene­
fits. Provisions of an establishment for all lengths of service were
tabulated as applying to all plant- or officeworkers of the establish­
ment, regardless of length of service. Provisions for payment on
other than a time basis were converted to a time basis; for example,
a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equiv­
alent of 1 week's pay. Only basic plans are included. Estimates ex­
clude vacation bonus and vacation-savings plans and those which offer
"extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans with qualifying
lengths of service. Such exclusions are typical in the steel, aluminum,
and can industries.
Data on health, insurance, and pension plans (table B -6) in­
clude those plans for which the employer pays at least a part of the
cost. Such plans include those underwritten by a commercial insurance
company and those provided through a union fund or paid directly by
the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside
for this purpose. An establishment was considered to have a plan if
the majority of employees was eligible to be covered under the plan,
even if less than a majority elected to participate because employees
were required to contribute toward the cost of the plan. Legally re­
quired plans, such as workmen's compensation, social security, and
railroad retirement were excluded.
Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of in­
surance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly
to the insured during temporary illness or accident disability. Infor­
mation is presented for all such plans to which the employer contrib­
utes. However, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted
temporary disability insurance laws which require employer contribu­
tions, 3 plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes more
than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits
which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of paid sick

which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans which pro­
vide either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presen­
tation of the proportions of workers who are provided sickness and
accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown
of workers who receive either or both types of benefits.

the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits.
Payments may be at full or partial pay but are almost always re­
duced by social security, workmen's compensation, and private pension
benefits payable to the disabled employee.

Major medical insurance includes those plans which are de­
signed to protect employees in case of sickness and injury involving
expenses beyond the coverage of basic hospitalization, medical, and
surgical plans. Medical insurance refers to plans providing for com­

shows the percentage change. The index is the product of multiplying
the base year relative (100) by the relative for the next succeeding
year and continuing to multiply (compound) each year's relative by the
previous year's index.

Presented in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change
in average salaries of office clerical workers and industrial nurses,
and in average earnings of selected plantworker groups. The indexes
are a measure of wages at a given time, expressed as a percent of
wages during the base period. Subtracting 100 from the index yields
the percentage change in wages from the base period to the date of
the index. The percentages of change or increase 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
period between surveys was other than 12 months. These computations
were based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant rate
between surveys. These estimates are measures of change in aver­
ages for the area; they are not intended to measure average pay
changes in the establishments in the area.

For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the wage
trends relate to regular weekly salaries for the normal workweek,
exclusive of earnings for overtime. For plantworker groups, they
measure changes in average straight-time hourly earnings, excluding
premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts. The percentages are based on data for selected key occu­
pations and include most of the numerically important jobs within
each group.
Limitations of Data

Method of Computing
The indexes and percentages of change, as measures of
change in area averages, are influenced by; (1) general salary and
wage changes, (2) merit or other increases in pay received by indi­
vidual workers while in the same job, and (3) changes in average
wages due to changes in the labor force resulting from labor turn­
over, force expansions, force reductions, and changes in the propor­
tions of workers employed by establishments with different pay levels.
Changes in the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the
occupational averages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable
that even though all establishments in an area gave wage increases,
average wages may have declined because lower-paying establishments
entered the area or expanded their work forces. Similarly, wages
may have remained relatively constant, yet the averages for an area
may have risen considerably because higher-paying establishments
entered the area.

Each of the following key occupations within an occupational
group was assigned a constant weight based on its proportionate em ­
ployment in the occupational group:
O ffice clerical (m en and women): O ffice clerical (men and women)— Skilled maintenance (men):
Carpenters
Bookkeeping-machine
Continued
Electricians
Secretaries
operators, class B
Machinists
Clerks, accounting, classes
Stenographers, general
Mechanics
Stenographers, senior
A and B
Switchboard operators, classes
Mechanics (automotive)
Clerks, file , classes
Painters
A , B, and C
A and B
Pipefitters
T a b u la tin g -m a ch in e operators,
Clerks, order
Tool and die makers
class B
Clerks, payroll
Comptometer operators
Typists, classes A and B
Unskilled plant (men):
Keypunch operators, classes
Janitors, porters, and
A and B
Industrial nurses (m en and
cleaners
Messengers (o ffice boys or
women):
Laborers, material handling
Nurses, industrial (registered)
girls)

The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effect
of changes in the proportion of workers represented in each job in­
cluded in the data. The percentages of change reflect only changes
in average pay for straight-time hours. They are not influenced by
changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by premium pay
for overtime. Where necessary, data were adjusted to remove from
the indexes and percentages of change any significant effect caused
by changes in the scope of the survey.

The average (mean) earnings for each occupation were multi­
plied by the occupational weight, and the products for all occupations
in the group were totaled. The aggregates for 2 consecutive years
were related by dividing the aggregate for the later year by the aggre­
gate for the earlier- year. The resultant relative, less 100 percent,

F o o tn o te s
All 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 employees surveyed receive more than the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown. The middle
range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than the higher rate.
3 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for \vork on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
4 These salaries relate to formally established minimum starting (hiring) regular straight-time salaries that are paid for standard
workweeks.
5 Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as messenger.
6 Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the most common standard workweeks reported.
^ Includes all plantworkers in establishments currently operating late shifts, and establishments whose formal provisions cover late
shifts, even though the establishments were not currently operating late shifts.
8 Less than 0.05 percent.
9 Less than 0.5 percent.
10 All combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; for example, the proportion of workers receiving a
total of 9 days includes those with 9 full days and no half days, 8 full days and 2 half days, 7 full days and 4 half days, and so on. ^Proportions
then were cumulated.
11 Includes payments other than "length of tim e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-sum payments, converted to an equivalent
time basis; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was
considered as 1 week's pay. Periods of service were chosen arbitrarily
and do not necessarily reflect the individual provisions for progression. For example, the changes in proportions indicated at
10 years' service
include changes in provisions occurring between 5 and 10 years. Estimates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for 3 weeks' pay or
more after 10 years includes those eligible for 3 weeks' pay or more
after fewer years of service.
12 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 plans financed entirely by the employer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workmen's compensation, social
security, and railroad retirement.
13 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are
limited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that can be expected by each employee. Informal sick
leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.
