The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual
occupational wage surveys in metropolitan areas is de
signed to provide data on occupational earnings, and estab
lishment practices and supplementary 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 occupational category and skill level, and (2) the struc
ture and level of wages among areas and industry divisions.
Introduction____________________________________________________________________
Wage trends for selected occupational groups____________________________
Tables:
At the end of each survey, an individual area bul
letin presents survey results for each area studied. After
completion of all of the individual area bulletins for a
round of surveys, a two-part sum m ary bulletin is issued.
The fir st part brings data for each of the metropolitan
areas studied into one bulletin.
The second part presents
information which has been projected from individual
metropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and
the United States.

Area Wage Survey---The Dayton, Ohio, Metropolitan Area
Introduction
allowances and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours
are reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is to the
standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which em
ployees receive their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay
for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earn
ings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar.
This area is 1 of 86 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.
In this area, data were
obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to repre
sentative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manu
facturing; transportation, communication, and other public utilities;
wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and
serv ices.
Major industry groups excluded from these studies are
government operations and the construction and extractive industries.
Establishments 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 pub
lication criteria.
The averages presented reflect composite, areawide esti
m ates.
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.
Sim ilarly, 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
contribute to differences in pay for men and women include: D iffer
ences 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.
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 sm all establishments is studied. In combining the data,
however, all establishments are given their appropriate weight.
E s
timates 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
Occupational employment estimates represent the total in
all establishments within the scope of the study and not the number
actually surveyed.
Because of differences in occupational structure
among establishments, the estimates of occupational employment ob
tained 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 m aterially the accuracy of the
earnings data.
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 m aterial m ove
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.
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 occupations, are not presented in the A -s e r ie s tables, because
either (1) employment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough
data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure
of individual establishment data.
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Information is presented (in the B -se r ie s tables) on selected
establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions as they
relate to plant and office w orkers.
Administrative, executive, and
professional em ployees, and construction workers who are utilized
as a separate work force are excluded.
"Plant w orkers" include
working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions.
"O ffice w orkers"
include working supervisors and nonsupervisory workers performing
clerical or related functions.
Cafeteria workers and routemen are
excluded in manufacturing industries, but included in nonmanufacturing
industries.
Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for
full-tim e w orkers, i. e. , those hired to work a regular weekly schedule
in the given occupational classification.
Earnings data exclude pre
mium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts.
Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but co st-of-liv in g
1

Minimum entrance salaries for women office workers (table
B - l ) relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum
sampling techniques used, and the probability that large establish
ments are m ore likely to have form al entrance rates for workers
above the subclerical level than sm all establishm ents, the table is
m o re-represen tative of policies in medium and large establishm ents.
Shift differential data (table B -2) are limited to plant workers
in manufacturing industries.
This information is presented both in
term s of (1) establishment p o lic y ,1 presented in term s of total plant
worker employment, and (2) effective practice, presented in term s of
workers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the
survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount
applying to a m ajority was used or, if no amount applied to a m ajority,
the classification "o th e r " was used. In establishments in which some
late-sh ift hours are paid at normal rates, a differential was recorded
only if it applied to a m ajority of the shift hours.
The scheduled weekly hours (table B -3) of a m ajority of the
fir st-sh ift workers in an establishment are tabulated as applying to
all of the plant or office workers of that establishment. Scheduled
weekly hours are those which fu ll-tim e employees were expected to
work, whether they were paid for at straight-tim e or overtime rates.
Paid holidays; paid vacations; health, insurance, and pension
plans; and premium pay for overtim e work (tables B -4 through B -7 )
are treated statistically on the basis that these are applicable to all
plant or office workers if a m ajority of such workers are eligible or
may eventually qualify for the practices listed. Sums of individual
items in tables B -2 through B -7 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 form al basis; i .e ., (1) are provided for
in written fo rm , or (2) have been established by custom.
Holidays
ordinarily granted are included even though they may fall on a non
workday 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 sum m ary of vacation plans (table B -5) is lim ited to a
statistical m easure of vacation provisions.
It is not intended as a
m easure 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 office workers 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 w eek's pay. Estim ates exclude vacation-savings plans and
those which offer "extended" or "sa b b a tica l" benefits beyond basic
plans to workers with qualifying lengths of service. Typical of such
exclusions are plans 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 com m erical 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 m ajority of employees were eligible to be covered under the
plan, even if le ss than a m ajority elected to participate because em
ployees were required to contribute toward the cost of the plan. L e
gally required plans, such as workm en's compensation, social s e
curity, and railroad retirem ent were excluded.
Sickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of
insurance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly
to the insured on a weekly or monthly basis during illness or accident
disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the
employer contributes. However, in New York and New Jersey, which
have enacted tem porary disability insurance laws which require em
ployer contributions, 2 plans are included only if the employer (1) con
tributes m ore than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee
with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations
of paid sick leave plans are lim ited to form al plans3 which provide
full pay or a proportion of the w orker's pay during absence from work
because of illn ess.
Separate tabulations are presented according to
(1) plans which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans
which provide either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to
the presentation 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.
Catastrophe insurance, som etim es referred to as major m ed
ical insurance, includes those plans which are designed to protect
em ployees in case of sickness and injury involving expenses beyond
the normal coverage of. hospitalization, m edical, and surgical plans.
Medical insurance refers to plans providing for complete or partial
payment of doctors' fe es. Such plans may be underwritten by com
m ercial insurance companies or nonprofit organizations or they may
be paid for by the employer out of a fund set aside for this purpose.
Tabulations of retirem ent pension plans are lim ited to those plans
that provide regular payments for the remainder of the w orker's life.
Data on overtime premium pay (table B -7 ), the hours after
which premium pay is received and the corresponding rate of pay, are
presented by daily and weekly provisions.
Daily overtime refers to
work in excess of a specified number of hours a day regardless of
the number of hours worked on other days of the pay period. Weekly
overtime refers to work in excess of a specified number of hours
per week regardless of the day on which it is perform ed, the number
of hours per day, or number of days worked.

1 The Dayton Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through April 1967, consists of Greene, Miami, Montgomery, and Preble Counties. The "workers
within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey.
The estimates are not
intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other employment indexes for the area to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of
wage surveysrequires theuse
of 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 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in such industries as trade, finance, auto repair service,
and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.
4 Includes executive, professional, and other workers excluded from the separate plant and office categories.
5 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, and for "all industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation
of data for this division is not made for one or more of the following reasons:
(1) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample was
not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual
establishment data.
7 Workers from this entire industry division are represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables, but fromthe real estate portion only in
estimates for "all industries" in the Series B tables. Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or more of the reasons given in footnote 6
above.
8 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding
religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
About three-fourths of the workers within scope of the survey in the Dayton area
were employed in manufacturing firms.
The following table presents the major industry
groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups
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 plant worker groups. The indexes
are a m easure of wages at a given tim e, expressed as a percent of
wages during the base period (date of the area survey conducted
between July I960 and June 1961).
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.
These estim ates are
m easures of change in averages for the area; they are not intended
to measure average pay changes in the establishments in the area.
Method of Computing
Each of the selected key occupations within an occupational
group was assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment
Office clerical (men and women):
Bookkeeping-machine operators,
class B
Clerks, accounting, classes
A and B
Clerks, file, classes
A, B, and C
Clerks, order
Clerks, payroll
Comptometer operators
Keypunch operators, classes
A and B
Office boys and girls
in the occupational group. These constant weights reflect base year
employments wherever possible.
The average (mean) earnings for
each occupation were multiplied 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 aggregate for the earlier year.
The resultant
relative, le ss 100 percent, 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 y ear's relative by the previous y e a r's index. Average earnings
for the following occupations were used in computing the wage trends:

For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the wage
trends relate to regular weekly salaries for the normal workweek,
exclusive of earnings for overtim e.
For plant worker groups, they
m easure changes in average straight-tim e 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 m ost of the num erically important jobs within
each group.
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 low er-paying establishments
entered the area or expanded their work fo rces. Sim ilarly, wages
m ay have remained relatively constant, yet the averages for an area
may have risen considerably because higher-paying establishments
entered the area.
Limitations of Data
The indexes and percentages of change, as m easures of
change in area averages, are influenced by: (l) general salary and
wage changes, (2) m erit 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 lev els.
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-tim e hours.
They are not influenced by
changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by premium pay
for overtim e. Where n ecessary, data were adjusted to remove from
the indexes and percentages of change any significant effect caused
by changes in the scope of the survey.

1 Includes basic plans only. Excludes plans such as vacation-savings and those plans which offer "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans to workers with qualifying lengths
of service.
Typical of such exclusions are plans in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.
2 Includes data for wholesale trade, retail trade, real estate, and services, in addition to those industry divisions shown separately.
3 Transportation, communication, and other public utilities.
4 Includes data for wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real eotate; and services, in addition to those industry divisions shown separately.
5 Less than 0.5 percent.
6 Includes payments other than "length of time," 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.

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.
