Area Wage Survey---The Denver, Colo., Metropolitan Area
Introduction
T h is a re a is 1 of 86 in which the U. S. D epartm ent of L a b o r 's
B ureau o f L abor S ta tistic s conducts su rvey s o f occupational earnings
and rela te d b en efits on an areaw ide b a s is .
In this a r e a , data w ere
obtained by p e rso n a l v is it s of Bureau fie ld eco n om ists to r e p r e ­
sen tative esta b lish m e n ts within six broad industry d iv isio n s: M anu­
fa ctu rin g; tra n sp o rta tio n , com m u n ication , and other public u tilitie s;
w h o le sa le tra d e; r e ta il tra d e; finance, in su ra n ce, and r e a l esta te ; and
s e r v ic e s .
M a jo r industry groups excluded fro m these studies a re
govern m en t o p eration s and the con struction and ex tractive in d u stries.
E sta b lish m e n ts having few er than a p resc rib e d number o f w o rk ers are
o m itted b ec a u se they tend to furnish insufficient em p loym en t in the
occu pation s studied to w a rra n t inclusion.
Separate tabulations are
provided for each of the broad industry division s which m ee t pub­
lica tio n c r it e r ia .

allow an ces and incentive earnings are included. W here w eekly hours
are r e p o rte d , as for o ffice c le r ic a l o ccu p ation s, re fe re n c e is to the
standard w orkw eek (rounded to the n ea re st half hour) for which e m ­
ployees r e c e iv e their reg u lar str a ig h t-tim e s a la r ie s (exclusive of pay
for o vertim e at regu lar a n d /o r p rem iu m r a te s ). A v era g e w eekly ea rn ­
ings for these occupations have been rounded to the n ea re st half dollar.
The a v era g e s p resen ted r e fle c t c o m p o site , areaw ide e s t i­
m a te s.
In du stries and esta b lish m en ts differ in pay level and job
staffing and, thus, contribute d iffe re n tly to the e s tim a te s for each job.
The pay relation sh ip obtainable fr o m the a v era g e s m ay fail to reflect
a ccu ra tely the wage spread or d iffe re n tial m aintained among jobs in
individual e sta b lish m e n ts.
S im ila r ly , d iffe re n ce s in average pay
le v e ls for m en and w om en in any of the se le c te d occupations should
not be a ssu m e d to r e fle c t d iffe re n ce s in pay treatm en t of the sexes
within individual esta b lish m e n ts.
Other p o ssib le fa c to rs which m ay
contribute to d iffe re n ce s in pay for m en and w om en include: D iffe r ­
ences in p r o g r e ssio n within esta b lish e d rate r a n g e s , since only the
actual rates paid incum bents are co llec ted ; and d iffe re n ce s in specific
duties p e rfo r m e d , although the w o rk ers are c la s s ifie d appropriately
within the sam e su rvey job d e sc rip tio n .
Job d escrip tion s used in
c la ssify in g em p lo y ee s in th ese su rvey s are u su ally m o re gen eralized
than those u sed in individual esta b lish m en ts and allow for m inor
d iffe re n ce s among esta b lish m en ts in the sp e c ific duties perform ed .

T h ese su r v e y s a re conducted on a sam ple b a sis b ecau se of
the u n n e c e s s a r y c o s t involved in surveying a ll e sta b lish m e n ts.
To
obtain optim um a c c u r a c y at m inim um c o s t, a g reater proportion of
la rg e than of s m a ll esta b lish m en ts is studied.
In com bining the data,
h o w ev er, a ll e sta b lish m e n ts a re given their appropriate w eight.
E s­

O ccupations and E arn in gs

F o r o ffice c le r ic a l w o rk ers and industrial n u r s e s , the wage
trends rela te to reg u lar w eek ly sa la r ie s for the n orm al w orkw eek,
ex c lu siv e of earnin gs for o v ertim e .
F o r plant w orker g ro u p s, they
m e a s u re changes in a vera ge stra ig h t-tim e hourly ea rn in g s, excluding
p rem iu m pay for o v e rtim e and for work on w eeken ds, h olid a y s, and
late sh ifts. The p e rc e n ta g e s are based on data for se le c te d key o ccu ­
pations and include m o st of the n u m erica lly im portant jo b s within
each group.

Changes in the labor fo rce can cause in c re a s e s or d e c re a se s in the
occupational a v era g e s without actual wage changes. It is conceivable
that even though a ll esta b lish m en ts in an a rea gave wage in c r e a s e s ,
a verage w ages m ay have declined because lo w e r-p a y in g esta blish m en ts
en tered the a re a or expanded their work fo r c e s .
S im ila r ly , w ages
m ay have rem ain ed r e la tiv e ly constant, yet the a vera ge s for an area
m ay have r is e n con sid erab ly b ecau se h igh er-p a yin g esta blish m en ts
en tered the a re a .

L im ita tio n s of Data
The in dexes and p ercen tages of change, as m e a su r e s of
change in a re a a v e r a g e s , are influenced by:
(1) gen eral sa la r y and
wage ch an g es, (2) m e r it or other in c re a se s in pay rec eiv ed by indi­
vidual w o r k e r s w hile in the sam e jo b , and (3) changes in average
w a g es due to changes in the labor fo rce resulting fr o m labor tu rn ­
o v e r , fo r c e ex p a n sio n s, fo r c e redu ction s, and changes in the p r o p o r ­
tions of w o r k e r s em p loy ed by establish m en ts with differen t pay le v e ls .




The use of constant em ploym en t w eights elim in a te s the effect
of changes in the proportion of w o rk ers rep resen ted in each job in­
cluded in the data.
The p ercen tages of change r e fle c t only changes
in a verage pay for stra ig h t-tim e h ou rs.
They are not influenced by
changes in standard work sch ed u les, as such, or by prem iu m pay
fo r o v e r tim e . W h ere n e c e s s a r y , data w ere adjusted to rem ove fro m
the indexes and percen ta ges of change any sign ifican t effect caused
by changes in the scope of the su rvey.

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.

Exclusions
Not all positions that are titled "secretary" possess the above
characteristics. Examples of positions which are excluded from the def­
inition are as follows: (a) Positions which do not meet the "personal"
