Data do not me e t publication criteria. N O T E : The percent increases presented in this table are based on changes in average hourly earnings for establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous year (matched establishments). Th e y are not affected by changes in average earnings resulting fr om em pl oy me nt shifts a m o n g establishments or turnover of establishments included in survey samples. Th e percent increases, however, are still affected by factors other than wa g e increases. Hirings, layoffs, and turnover m a y affect an establishment average for an occupation wh e n workers are paid under plans providing a range of wage rates for individual jobs. In periods of increased hiring, for example, n e w employees enter at the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates. These wa ge trends are not linked to the wa ge indexes previously published for this area because the wa g e indexes m e a s u r e d changes in area averages, whereas these wage trends m e a s u r e changes in ma tc he d establishment averages. Other characteristics of these wa g e trends which differ fr o m the discontinued indexes include (1) earnings data of office clerical workers and industrial nurses are converted to an hourly basis, (2) trend estimates are provided for nonmanufacturing establishments, wh er e possible, and (3) trend estimates are provided for electronic data processing jobs. Fo r a m o r e detailed description of the me th od used to compute these wa ge trends, see "Improving Ar e a W a g e Survey Indexes," Monthly Labor R e vi ew. January 1973, pp. 52-57. Footnotes 1 Standard hours reflect the w o r k w e e k to these weekly hours. 2 Th e m e a n is computed for each job and half receive less than the rate shown. 3 Excludes p r e m i u m pay for overtime for which employees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or p r e m i u m rates), and the earnings correspond by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the n u m b e r of workers. The median designates position— half of the employees surveyed receive m o r e Th e 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 m o r e than the higher rate. and for wo r k on weekends, holidays, and' late shifts. Appendix A A r e a w a g e and related benefits data are obtained by personal visits of Bu re au field represent atives at 3-year intervals. 1 In each of the intervening years, information on e m pl oy me nt and occupational earnings is collected by a combination of personal visit; mail questionnaire, and telephone interview f r o m establishments participating in the previous survey. In each of the 8 3 2 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained f r o m representative estab lishments 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 f r o m these studies are government operations and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed n u m b e r of workers are omitted because of insufficient em p l o y m e n t in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the broad industry divisions which me e t publication criteria. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. Th e sampling procedures involve detailed stratification of all establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and n u m b e r of employees. F r o m this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment having a predetermined chance of selection. T o obtain o p t i m u m accuracy at m i n i m u m cost, a greater proportion of large than small establishments is selected. W h e n data are combined, each establishment is weighted according to its probability of selection, so that unbiased estimates are generated. Fo r example, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a weight of four to represent itself plus three others. A n alternate of the s a m e original probability is chosen in the s a m e industry-size classification if data are not available for the original sample m e m b e r . If no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample m e m b e r that is similar to the missing unit. Occupations and Earnings Occupations selected for study are c o m m o n 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 movement. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the s a m e 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 s o m e of the occupations listed and described, or for s o me industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in the A-series tables, because either (1) em pl oy me nt in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Separate me n' s and w o me n' s earnings data are not presented w h e n the n u m b e r of w o rk er s not identified by sex is 20 percent or m o r e of the m e n or w o m e n identified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in all industries co mbined data, w h e r e shown. Likewise, data are included in the overall classification w h e n a sub classification of electronics technicians, secretaries, or truckdrivers is not shown or information to subclassify is not available. Occupational e m p l o y m e n t and earnings data are shown for full-time workers, i.e., those hired to w o r k a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude p r e m i u m pay for overtime and for w o r k on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive bonuses are included. W e e k l y hours for office clerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard w o r k w e e k (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or p r e m i u m rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest half dollar. Th es e surveys m e a s u r e the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular time. C o m p ar is on s of individual occupational averages over time m a y not reflect expected wa g e changes. Th e averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and empl oy me nt patterns. F o r example., proportions of w o rk er s empl oy ed by high- or low-wage firms m a y change, or high-wage wo rk er s m a y advance to better jobs and be replaced by n e w workers at lower rates. Such shifts in e m pl oy me nt could decrease an occupational average even though mo s t establishments in an area increase wa g e s during the year. Trends in earnings of occupational groupq, shown in table A-7, are better indicators of w a g e trends than individual jobs within the groups. Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay averages m a y fail to reflect accurately the wa ge differential a m o n g jobs in individual establishments. Average pay levels for m e n and w o m e n in selected occupations should not be a s s u m e d to reflect differences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments. Factors which m a y contribute to differences include progression within established rate ranges, since 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 m o r e generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for mi no r differences a m o n g establishments in specific duties performed. Occupational e m p l oy me nt estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the n u m b e r actually surveyed. Because occupational structures a m o n g establish me nt s differ, estimates of occupational em pl o y m e n t obtained f r o m 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. W a g e trends for selected occupational groups Th e Annual rates span between increased at percents of change in table A - 7 relate to wa g e changes between the indicated dates. of increase, wh e r e shown, reflect the amount of increase for 12 months when the time surveys w a s other than 12 months. Annual rates are based on the assumption that wages a constant rate between surveys. Occupations used to compute wa g e trends are: Office clerical (men and w o m e n ) : Bookkeeping-machine operators, class B Clerks, accounting, classes A and B Clerks, file, classes A, B, and C Clerks, order Clerks, payroll Keyp un ch operators, classes A and B Me ss en ge rs Secretaries Stenographers, general Stenographers, senior Switchboard operators Tabulating-machine operators, class B Typists, classes A and B Electronic data processing (men and w o m e n ) : C o m p u t e r operators, classes A, B, and C C o m p u t e r p r o g r a m m e r s , classes A, B, and C Electronic data processing (men and w o m e n ) — Continued C o m p u t e r systems analysts, classes A, B, and C Industrial nurses (men and w o m e n ) : Nurses, industrial (registered) Skilled maintenance (men): Carpenters Electricians M&chini st s Mechanics Mechanics (automotive) Painters Pipefitters Tool and die m a k e r s Unskilled plant (men): Janitors, porters, and cleaners Laborers, material handling Percent changes for individual areas in the p r o g r a m are c o m p u t e d as follows: 1. Ea c h occupation is assigned a Weight based on its proportionate em pl oy me nt in the selected group of occupations in the base year. 2. These weights are used to co mp ut e group averages. Ea c h occupation's average (mean) earnings is multiplied by its weight. T h e products are totaled to obtain a group average. 3. Th e ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is comp ut ed by efividing the average for the current year by the average for the earlier year. Th e results— expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change. Establishment practices and supplementary wa g e provisions 1 Penonal visits were on a 2-year c ycle before July 1972.

Th e "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. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other em pl o y m e n t indexes to m e a s u r e em pl oy me nt trends or levels since (1) planning of w a g e surveys requires establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded f r o m the scope of the survey. * The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual wa s used in classifying establishments by industry division. 3 Includes all establishments with total em pl oy me nt at or above the m i n i m u m limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in industries such as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. 4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total em pl oy me nt (within the area) at or above the m i n i m u m limitation. 3 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A-series tables.

Separate presentation of data is not m a d e for one or m o r e of the following reasons: (1) E m p l o y m e n t is too small to provide enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample w a s not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response wa s insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. 7 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit m e m b e r s h i p organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services. Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions Th e pr im ar y purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wa g e surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers w h o are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different w o r k arrangements f r o m establishment to establishment and f r o m area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational wa g e rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau's job descriptions m a y differ significantly f r o m 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-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
