AREA WAGE SURVEY
Fort Worth, Texas, Metropolitan Area,
October 1972
Bulletin 1775-24
U S. DEPAR TMEN T OF LABOR
____ Bureau of Labor Statistics
P reface
This bulletin provides results of an October 1972 survey of occupational
earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Fort Worth, Texas, Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area (Johnson and Tarrant Counties). The survey was
made as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual area wage survey program.
The program is designed to yield data for individual metropolitan areas, as well
as national and regional estimates for all Standard Metropolitan A reas in the
United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii, (as defined by the U.S. Office of
Management and Budget through November 1971).
A major consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to
describe the level and movement of wages in a variety of labor markets, through
the analysis of (1) the level and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the
movement of wages by occupational category and skill level. The program de
velops information that may be used for many purposes, including wage and salary
administration, collective bargaining, and assistance in determining plant location.
Survey results also are used by the U.S. Department of Labor to make wage
determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965.
Currently, 96 areas are included in the program. (See list of areas on
inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data are collected
annually. Information on establishment practices and supplementary wage bene
fits, collected every second year in the past, is now obtained every third year.
Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been completed,
two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each
metropolitan area surveyed. The second summary bulletin presents national and
regional estim ates, projected from individual metropolitan area data.
The Fort Worth survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office
in Dallas, T ex., under the general direction of Boyd B. O'Neal, Assistant Regional
Director for Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without
the cooperation of the many firms whose wage and salary data provided the basis
for the statistical information in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to express
sincere appreciation for the cooperation received.
