It yields detailed data by selected industry divisions for each of the areas studied, fo r geographic regions, and for the United States. A m ajor consideration in the program is the need for greater insight into (l) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level, and (2) the stru c ture and lev el of wages among areas and industry divisions. At the end of each survey, an individual area bu l letin presents survey resu lts for each area studied. After completion of all of the individual area bulletins for a round of su rveys, a tw o-part sum m ary bulletin is issued. The fir s t part brings data for each of the metropolitan areas studied into one bulletin. The second part presents inform ation which has been projected from individual m e t ropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and the United States.

This bulletin presents results of the survey in Jackson, M i s s ., in February 1967. The Standard M etro politan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through A p ril 1966, consists of Hinds and Rankin Counties. This study was conducted by the Bureau*s r e gional office in Atlanta, Ga. , Brunswick A . Bagdon, D i recto r; by Jerry C. A dam s, under the direction of James D. Garland. The study was under the general direction of Donald M . C ruse, A ssista n t Regional D irector for Wages and Industrial Relations. 1 3 a reas. * N O T E : Sim ilar tabulations are available for other (See inside back co v e r.)

H i 2 3 5 7 8 9 10 11 Area W age Survey---The Jackson, Miss., Metropolitan Area Introduction This area is 1 of 86 in which the U.S. Department of L a b o r's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits on an areawide b a sis. Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for fu ll-tim e w orkers, i .e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule in the given occupational classification . Earnings data exclude p r e mium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but co st-of-liv in g bonuses and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office c lerica l occupations, reference is to the stand ard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive their regular straigh t-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for overtim e at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar. This bulletin presents current occupational employment and earnings inform ation obtained largely by m ail from the establishments visited by Bureau field econom ists in the last previous survey for occupations reported in that earlier study. Personal visits were made to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes since the previous survey. In each area, data are obtained from representative esta b lishm ents within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; tr a n s portation, comm unication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and serv ic es. Major industry groups excluded from these studies are government o p era tions 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 publication criteria. The averages presented reflect com posite, areawide e s ti m ates. Industries and establishm ents differ in pay level and job staffing and, thus, contribute differently to the estim ates 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 establishm ents. S im ilarly, differences in average pay levels for men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be assum ed to reflect differences in pay treatment of the sexes within individual establishm ents. Other possible factors which may contrib ute 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 p e r form ed, although the workers are appropriately classified within the same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying e m ployees in these surveys are usually m ore generalized than those used in individual establishm ents and allow for minor differences among establishm ents in the specific duties perform ed. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishm ents. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of sm a ll establishm ents is studied. In combining the data, however, all establishm ents are given their appropriate weight. E s tim ates based on the establishm ents studied are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishm ents in the industry grouping and area, except for those below the minimum size studied. Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in all establishm ents within the scope of the study and not the number a c tually surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure among establishm ents, the estim ates of occupational employment ob tained from the sample of establishm ents studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occu pational structure do not m aterially affect the accuracy of the earn ings data. Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the follow ing types: (l) Office cle r ic a l; (2) professional and technical; (3) m ain tenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material m ovem ent. O c cupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishm ent variation in duties within the same job . The occupations selected for study are listed and de scribed 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 som e industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in the A -s e r ie s tables because either (l) em ploy ment in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual e s tablishment data. Establishm ent P ractices and Supplementary Wage Provisions Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supple mentary wage provisions (B -s e r ie s tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Information for these tabulations is collected biennially in this area. These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for inex perienced women office w orkers; shift differentials; scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the B -s e r ie s tables) in previous bulletins for this area. 1 2 T a b l e 1.

The indexes are a m easure of wages at a given tim e, expressed as a percent of wages during the base period (d a te 'o f 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 easu res of change in averages for the area; they are not intended to m easure average pay changes in the establishments in the area. Method of Computing in the occupational group. These constant weights reflect base year employments wherever p o ssib le. The average (mean) earnings for each occupation were multiplied by the occupation weight, and the products for all occupations in the group were totaled. The aggregates for 2 consecutive y ears w ere related by dividing the aggregate for the later year by the aggregate for the earlier year. The resultant relative, le s s 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 e a r 's relative by the previous y e a r 's index. Average earnings for the following occupations w ere used in computing the wage trends: Each of the selected key occupations within an occupational group was assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment Table 2.

For plant worker groups, they m easure changes in average straigh t-tim e hourly earnings, excluding prem ium pay for overtim e and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. The percentages are based on data for selected key occupations and include m ost of the num erically important jobs within each group. Changes in the labor force can cause in c rea ses or d ecreases in the occupational averages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable that even though all establishm ents in an area gave wage in c r e a se s, average wages may have declined because low er-paying establishm ents entered the area or expanded their work fo r c e s. S im ila rly, wages may have remained relatively constant, yet the averages for an area may have risen considerably because higher-paying establishm ents 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 in creases in pay received by individual w orkers 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 w orkers employed by establishm ents with different pay le v e ls. The use of constant em ployment weights elim inates the effect of changes in the proportion of w orkers represented in each job included 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 prem ium pay for overtim e. Data were adjusted where n ecessa ry to rem ove from the indexes and percentages of change any significant effect caused by changes in the scope of the survey. 5 A. Occupational Earnings Table A-l.

Occupational Descriptions The primary purpose o f preparing job descriptions for the Bureau*s wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are em ployed under a variety o f payroll titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This permits the grouping o f occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis on interestablishment and interarea com parability o f 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, handicapped, part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers.
