Introduction
This a r e a is 1 of 75 in which the U.S. D epartm ent of L a b o r 's B u ­
reau of L a b o r Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnin gs and r e ­

(See lis t of a re a s on inside back c o v e r .)
In each a r e a ,
occupational earnin gs data ( A - s e r i e s ta b le s ) a r e co llected annually.
In fo r­

E ach y e a r afte r a ll individual a r e a w age surveys have been co m ­
pleted, two su m m ary bulletins a r e issued.

and nonmanufacturing separately.
Data a r e not p resen ted fo r sk illed m ain ­
tenance w o rk e rs in nonmanufacturing becau se the num ber of w o rk e rs e m ­

A m a jo r consideration in the a r e a w age su rvey p ro g ra m is the need
to d e s c rib e the le v e l and m ovem ent of w ages in a v a rie ty of la b o r m ark ets,
through the an a ly sis of (1) the le v e l and d istribution of w age s by occupation,
and (2) the m ovem ent of w ages by occupational catego ry and skill level.
The p ro g ra m develops inform ation that m ay be used fo r many p u rp o ses,

sistance in determ ining plant location.

of annual earnin gs or f l a t - s u m payments, converted to an equivalent time
b a s is ; fo r exam p le, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 w eek's
pay. P e r io d s of se rv ic e are chosen a r b it r a r i ly and do not ne c e s sa rily reflect
individual p ro v is io ns fo r p ro g re s s i o n ; fo r exam ple, changes in proportions
at 10 y ears include changes between 5 and 10 y e a r s . Estimates are cumula­
tive. Thus, the pro portion el igible fo r at least 3 w e e k s ' pay after 10 years
includes those el igible fo r at least 3 w e e k s ' pay after fe w e r years of service.
15 E stim ates listed after type of benefit are fo r al l plans fo r which
at least a part of the cost is borne by the em plo yer .
"Noncontributory

legally requ ir ed plans, such as w o r k e r s ' disability compensation, social s e ­
curity, and r a il r o a d retirement.
16 Unduplicated total of w o r k e r s receiving sick leave o r sickness and

those which definitely es ta bli sh at least the m in imum nu mber of day s' pay
that each em ployee can expect. Info rm al sick leave allowances determined
on an individual b a s is ar e excluded.
17 E stim ate s under " A l l p la n s" relate to all plans for which at least
a part of the cost is borne by the em plo yer. Estim ate s under "N o nc on trib ­

F o r " M a n u fa c tu rin g ," all fu ll-tim e
production and related w o r k e r s or office w o r k e r s in manufacturing equal 100
percent.
19 The m ean amount is computed by multiplying the number of workers
pro vid ed insurance by the amount of in suran ce provided , totaling the p r o d ­
ucts, and dividing the sum by the nu m ber of w o r k e r s . The median indicates
that half of the w o r k e r s ar e pro vided an amount equal to o r s m a l le r and half
an amount equal to o r l a r g e r than the amount shown. Middle range (50 p e r ­
cent)— a fourth of the w o r k e r s are pro vided an amount equal to o r le s s than
the s m a l l e r amount and a fourth ar e pro vid ed an amount equal to o r m ore
than the l a r g e r amount. M iddle range (80 percent)— 10 percent of the w o r k ­
e r s ar e p ro v id ed an amount equal to o r le s s than the s m a l l e r amount and 10
percent are pro vid ed an amount equal to or m o re than the l a r g e r amount.
20 A facto r of annual earnings is the nu m ber by which annual earnings
ar e multiplied to determine the amount of insurance provided. F o r example,
a factor of 2 indicates that fo r annual earnings of $ 10,000 the amount of
in suran ce pro vid ed is $ 20,000.

Appendix A.
Scope and Method
of Survey
In each of the 75 1 ar eas cu rrently surv ey ed, the B u r e a u obtains
wages and related benefits data fr o m repr es en ta tive establishm ents within
six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, communication,
and other public utilities; w holesale tr ade; retail trad e; finance, in surance,
and re al estate; and s e r v i c e s . Government operations and the construction
and extractive industries ar e excluded. Establis hm en ts having f e w e r than a
p r e s c r ib e d num ber of w o r k e r s are also excluded be cause of insufficient
employment in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the nu mber
of establishments and w o r k e r s estimated to be within the scope of this
survey, as w e l l as the num ber actually studied.
B u r e a u field repr es enta tives obtain data by p e rs o n a l visits at 3 - y e a r
in tervals. In each of the two intervening y e a r s , information on employment
and occupational earnings only is collected by a combination of p erso nal
visit, m a i l questionnaire, and telephone in terview fr o m establishments
participating in the previ ou s survey.

A sample of the establishments in the scope of the survey is
selected fo r study p r i o r to each p ers o n al visit survey .
This s am ple , less
establishments which go out of busines s o r ar e no lo n g e r within the industrial
scope of the survey, is retained fo r the following two annual surveys.
In
most cas es , establishm ents new to the a r e a ar e not cons ider ed in the scope
of the survey until the selection of a sample fo r a p e rs o n a l visit survey.
The sampling p ro ced ures involve detailed stratification of all
establishments within the scope of an individual a r e a sur vey by industry
and nu mber of em ployees.
F r o m this stratified universe a probability
sample is selected, with each establishment having a p red ete rm in ed chance
of selection.
To obtain optimum accuracy at m in im um cost, a gr e a te r
proportion of la rge than s m all es tablishments is selected.
When data are
combined, each establishment is weighted acc ordi ng to its probability of
selection so that unbiased estimates are generated.
F o r ex am ple, if one
out of four establishm ents is selected, it is given a weight of 4 to re pr es en t
it self plus three others.
An alternate of the sam e origin a l probability is
chosen in the same in d u s t ry -s i z e clas sificati on if data are not available
fr o m the origin a l sample m e m b e r .
If no suitable substitute is available,
additional weight is as signed to a sam ple m e m b e r that is s im i la r to the
m issin g unit.
1 Included in the 75 areas are 5 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract.
These areas are
Akron, Ohio; Birmingham, A la .; N orfolk—V irginia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, Va. —N.C. ;
Poughkeepsie—Kingston—Newburgh, N . Y . ; and U tica—Rom e, N . Y .
In addition, the Bureau conducts more
lim ited area studies in approximately 100 areas at the request o f the Employment Standards Administration of
the U. S. Department o f Labor.




Occupations and earnings
Occupations selected for study are common to a varie ty of m anufa c­
turing and nonmanufacturing in dustri es, and are of the following types: (1)
Office cl eri cal; (2) p rofe ssio nal and technical; (3) maintenance, toolro om ,
and powerplant; and (4) m aterial movement and custodial.
Occupational
cl assification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take
account of interestablishment varia tio n in duties within the sam e job.
Occupations selected fo r study are liste d and d es c rib e d in appendix B.
Unless otherwise indicated, the earnings data following the job titles
ar e fo r all industries combined. E arn in gs data fo r some of the occupations
listed and des cribed, or fo r some industry divisions within the scope of the
survey , ar e not presented in the A - s e r i e s tables because either (1) em p lo y ­
ment in the occupation is too sm all to pro vid e enough data to m erit p r e s e n ­
tation, o r (2) there is possibility of d is c lo s u re of individual establishm ent
data. Separate men's and wom en 's earnin gs data are not pre sented when the
num ber of w o rk ers not identified by sex is 20 percent o r m o re of the men
o r women identified in an occupation.
E arn in gs data not shown separa tely
fo r industry divisions are included in data fo r all in dustries combined.
L ik e w is e, for occupations with m o re than one lev el, data ar e included in
the o v e ra ll classification when a subclassificatio n is not shown or information
to s ubclassify is not available.
Occupational employment and earnin gs data ar e shown fo r fu ll-tim e
w o r k e r s , i.e., those hired to work a r e g u l a r weekly schedule.
Earn in gs
data exclude premium pay fo r overtime and fo r w o rk on weekends, holidays,
and late shifts.
Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but co s t- o f -liv in g
allowances and incentive bonuses are included.
W eekly hours fo r office
c l e ri c a l and profe ssio nal and technical occupations r e f e r to the standard
work week (rounded to the nearest half ho ur) fo r which em ployees receive
re g u l a r straight-time s alaries (exclusiv e of pay fo r overt ime at r e g u la r
and/or prem ium rates).
A v era ge w eek ly earnin gs fo r these occupations
are rounded to the nearest half dollar. V e r t ic a l lines within the distribution
of w o r k e r s on some A -t a b le s indicate a change in the size of the clas s
in t e r v a ls ,
These surveys m eas u re the lev el of occupational earnings in an a r e a
at a p artic u la r time. Com pariso ns of individual occupational a v e r a g e s o v er
time m ay not reflect expected wage changes.
The av er a g e s fo r individual
jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. F o r example,
proportions of w o rk e rs employed by h igh- o r lo w - w a g e f i r m s m ay change,
o r high-w age w o rk e rs may advance to bette r jobs and be replaced by new
w o r k e r s at low er rates.
Such shifts in employment oould d ec re a s e an
occupational av erage even though m ost esta blishments in an a r e a incre ase
w ages during the year. Changes in earnin gs of occupational gr oups, shown in
table A - 7, ar e better indicators of w age trends than are earnings changes fo r
individual jobs within the groups.

A v e r a g e earnin gs reflect composite, areawide estim ates. Industries
and establish ments d iffe r in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute
differently to the es ti m ate s f o r each job. Pay aver ages m ay fail to re fle ct
accura te ly the w age dif fe rentia l among jobs in individual establishments.
A v e r a g e pay lev els f o r men and women in selected occupations
should not be as s u m e d to reflect differences in pay of the sex es within
individual esta bli shm ents .
F a c t o r s which m ay contribute to diffe re nces
include p r o g r e s s i o n within esta blish ed rate ranges (only the rates paid
incumbents ar e collected) and p erfo rm ance of specific duties within the
g e n e ra l survey job d escri ptio ns. Job descriptions used to c la s s ify em ployees
in these survey s usually are m o r e genera liz ed than those used in individual
esta blishments and a llo w f o r m in or differences among establish ments in
spe cif ic duties p e r fo r m e d .
Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all e s t a b ­
lishments within the scope o f the study and not the nu mber actually surveyed.
B e c a u s e occupational s tructure s among establishments diffe r, estimates of
occupational employment obtained fr o m the sample of establish ments studied
s e rv e only to indicate the rela tiv e importance of the jobs studied.
These
d iffe rences in occupational structure do not affect m at erially the accuracy of
the earnin gs data.

a r e a s in the p r o g r a m are computed

1.

A v e r a g e earnings are computed fo r each occupation for
the 2 y e a r s being co m pared . The a v er ages ar e derived
f r o m earnin gs in those establish ments which ar e in the
survey both y e a r s ; it is assum ed that employment
re m ain s unchanged.

2.

E ach occupation is assig n ed a weight b as ed on its
proportionate employment in the occupational group in
the b as e y ear.

3.

These weights ar e used to compute group averages.
E ach occupation's a v erage earnings (computed in step 1)
is multiplied by its weight.
The products are totaled
to obtain a group a v erage.

4.

The ratio of group a v e r a g e s fo r 2 consecutive years is
computed by dividing the a v erage fo r the current year
by the a v e r a g e fo r the e a r l i e r y e a r .
The result—
e x p r e s s e d as a percent— less 100 is the percent change.

W a g e trends f o r selecte d occupational groups
The p erc ent in c r e a s e s presented in table A - 7 ar e b a s e d on changes
in av er a g e ho urly earnin gs of men and women in establishm ents re porting
the trend jobs in both the current and previous y e a r (matched establishments).
The data are adjusted to re m o v e the effect on av erage earnings of e m p lo y ­
ment shifts among es ta bli sh m ents and tu rn over of establishm ents included
in s urv ey sam p les .
The p erc ent in c re a s e s , ho wever, are still affected by
fa ctors other than w age in c r e a s e s .
H irin gs, lay offs, and tu rn over may
affect an es ta blishm en t a v e r a g e fo r an occupation when w o r k e r s ar e paid
under plains p ro vid in g a range of wage rates fo r individual job s . In p eriods
of i n c re a s e d hirin g, f o r ex am p le, new employees may enter at the bottom
of the ra nge, d e p r e s s in g the a v e r a g e without a change in wage rates.

The p erc ent changes relate to wage changes between the indicated
dates. When the tim e span between survey s is other than 12 months, annual
rates ar e shown.
(It is as s u m e d that wages in cre ase at a constant rate
between s u r v e y s . )

in dustri es.)
In finance and in sura nce, no w o r k e r s are consider ed to be
production w o r k e r s . Office w o r k e r s include work ing s u p e rv is o r s and all nons up erv is ory w o r k e r s
(including lead w o r k e r s and t r a in e e s ) p erfo r m in g
c le ric a l o r related office functions in such departments as accounting,
advertisin g, purc has ing, collection, credit, finance, legal, p a y ro ll, personnel,
s ales , industrial relations , public relations, executive, o r transportation.
A dm inis tra tiv e, executive, p ro fes s io n al, and p a rt -ti m e em ployees as w e l l
as construction w o r k e r s utilized as sep arat e w o r k fo rces are excluded fr o m
both the production and office w o r k e r categori es.
M in im um entrance s a l a r i e s (table B - l ) . M in im um entrance s a la ri e s
fo r office w o r k e r s relate only to the establishments visited. B ecau se of the
optimum sampling techniques used and the p ro babil it y that l a r g e e s ta b lish ­
ments are m o re likely than s m a l l es tablishments to have fo r m a l entrance
rates above the s u b c le r ic a l lev el, the table is m o r e repr es en ta tive of polic ies
in medium and l a rg e establishments.
(The " X ' s " shown under standard
weekly hours indicate that no meaningful totals are ap plic able .)
Shift diffe rentials— manufacturing (table B - 2 ) . Data w e r e collected
on policies of manufacturing es tablishments re gard in g pay differentials fo r
production w o r k e r s on late shifts.
Establishm en ts co nsid ered as having
policies ar e those which (1) have p ro v is io ns in wri ti ng covering the operation
of late shifts, or (2) have ope rated late shifts at any time during the 12
months prece ding a survey. When establishments have s e v e r a l differentials
which v ar y by job, the differential applying to the m ajorit y of the production
w o r k e r s is recorded.
When establishments have different ials which apply
only to certain hours of w ork , the different ial applying to the m ajorit y of
the shift hours is recorded.
F o r purp oses of this study, a late shift is either a second (evening)
shift which ends at o r n e a r midnight o r a third (night) shift which starts at
o r near midnight.
Differentials fo r second and third shifts ar e s u m m ar iz ed sep arat ely
fo r (1) establishm ent p olic ie s (an esta bli shm ent's different ials ar e weighted
by all production w o r k e r s in the es tablishment at the time of the survey )
and (2) effective p ractic es (an es tabli sh m ent's differentials are weighted by
production w o r k e r s employed on the spe cified shift at the time of the survey).
Scheduled week ly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health,
insurance, and pension p la n s . P r o v is io n s which apply to a m ajo rit y of the
production o r office w o r k e r s in an establishment are cons ider ed to apply to
all production o r office w o r k e r s in the establishment; a pract ice o r p ro vis io n
is considered nonexistent when it applies to le s s than a m ajo rit y .
Holidays;
vacations; and health, in sura nce, and pension plans are cons ider ed applicable
to employees curre ntly el ig ible fo r the benefits as w e ll as to em ployees who
w il l eventually becom e eligible.
Scheduled weekly hours and days (table B - 3 ) . Scheduled weekly
hours and days r e f e r to the nu m b er of hours and days p er week which fu ll ­
time first (day) shift w o r k e r s ar e expected to w o rk , whether paid fo r at
str aigh t-tim e or overt im e rates.
P a id holidays (table B - 4 ) . Holidays are included if w o r k e r s who
ar e not re quir ed to w o rk ar e paid fo r the time off and those requ ir ed to
w ork receiv e p re m iu m pay o r compensatory time off.
They ar e included
only if they are granted annually on a fo r m a l b a s is
(provided fo r in




written fo r m or established by custom). Holidays ar e included even though
in a p articu lar y e a r they fall on a nonworkday and employees ar e not
granted another day off.
Paid p e rs o n a l holiday pla ns, typically found in
the automobile and related indu stries , are included as paid holidays.
Data ar e tabulated to show the percent of w o r k e r s who (1) are
granted specific numbers of whole and half holidays and (2) are granted
specified
amounts of total holiday time (whole and half holidays ar e
aggrega ted).
P a i d vacations (table B - 5 ) . Esta blis hm ents report their method of
calculating vacation pay (time b a s i s , percent of annual earnin gs, fl a t - s u m
payment, etc.) and the amount of vacation pay granted.
Only b a s ic fo r m a l
plans are reported. Vacation bo nuses, v aca tio n -s av in g s plans, and "exte nded"
o r " s a b b a ti c a l" benefits beyond b as ic plans are excluded.
F o r tabulating vacation pay granted, al l pro visio ns are e x p re s s e d
on a time bas is .
Vacation pay calculated on other than a time b a s is is
converted to its equivalent time p eriod .
Two percent of annual earnin gs,
fo r ex am ple, is tabulated as 1 w eek 's vacation pay.
A l s o , provisions after each spe cified length of serv ice are related
to all production o r office w o rk e rs in an establish ment r e g a r d l e s s of length of
s erv ice. Vacation plans commonly pro vid e fo r a l a r g e r amount of vacation
pay as serv ice lengthens. Counts of production o r office w o r k e r s by length
of s e rv ic e w ere not obtained.
The tabulations of vacation pay granted
presen t, there fore, statistical m e a s u r e s of these provis io ns rather than
proportions of w o rk e rs actually receiving specific benefits.
Health, insuran ce, and pension plans (tables B - 6 and B - 7 ) . Health,
in su rance, and pension plans include plans fo r which the em p lo y er pays
either all o r part of the cost.
The cost m ay be (1) underwritten by a
c o m m e r c ia l insurance company or nonprofit organization, (2) covered by a
union fund to which the employer has contributed, o r (3) bo rne dire ctly by
the em p lo y er out of operating funds o r a fund set aside to co v er the cost.
A plan is included even though a m ajo rity of the em plo yees in an e s t a b li s h ­
ment do not choose to participate in it b ecause they are re qu ired to b e a r
part of its cost (provided the choice to participate is availa ble o r w ill
eventually become available to a m ajo rit y ).
L e g a l ly re qu ired plans such as
social security, ra ilro ad retirement, w o r k e r s ' disability compensation, and
te m p o ra ry disability insurance 3 are excluded.
3 Temporary disability insurance which provides benefits to covered workers disabled by injury or illness
which is not work-connected is mandatory under State laws in C alifornia, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode
Island. Establishment plans which m eet only the leg a l requirements are excluded from these data, but those
trader which (1 ) employers contribute more than is le g a lly required or (2 ) benefits exceed those specified in the
State law are included.
In Rhode Island, benefits are paid out o f a State fund to which only employees
contribute. In each of the other three States, benefits are paid either from a State fund or through a private plan.
State fund financing: In California, only em ployees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey,
employees and employers contribute; in New York, em ployees contribute up to a specified maximum
and employers pay the difference between the em ployees' share and the total contribution required.
Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, em ployees cannot be required to contribute
more than they would i f they were covered by the State fund; in New York, em ployees can agree
to contribute more i f the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate with the
benefit provided.
Federal legislation ( Railroad Unemployment Insurance A c t) provides temporary disability insurance benefits
to railroad workeis for illness or injury, whether w ork-connected or not. The legislation requires that employers
bear the entire cost of the insurance.

L ife in su rance includes fo rm a l plans providing indemnity (usually
through an in su rance p olic y) in case of death of the co v ered w o r k e r .
Information is al so p ro v id ed in table B - 7 on types of life in su rance plans
and the amount of c o v erage ip all industries combined and in manufacturing.
Acciden tal death and d is m em berm ent insurance is lim ited to plans
which p rovid e benefit payments in case of death o r loss of lim b o r sight as a
d irect re sult of an accident.
Sickness and accident insurance includes only those plans which
p rovid e that p re d e te rm in e d cash payments be made dire ctly to employees
who lose time fr o m w o r k because of illn es s o r injury, e .g., $ 50 a week
fo r up to 26 w eek s of disability.
Sick leave plans are limited to fo rm a l p l a n s 4 which provide fo r
continuing an e m p lo y e e 's pay during absence fr o m work b ecause of illness.
Data collected distinguish between (1) plans which provide full pay with no
waiting p eriod , and (2) plans which either provide part ia l pay o r requ ir e a
waiting peri od.
L o n g - t e r m disab il it y insurance plans provide payments to totally
d is abled em plo yees upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sic k­
ness and accident in su ran ce, o r after a pred eterm ined p erio d of disability
(typically 6 months). Paym ents are made until the end of the disability, a
m a x im u m ag e, o r elig ib il it y fo r retirement benefits.
Fu ll o r p artial p ay ­
ments are al m ost al w ays re duced by social security, w o r k e r s ' disability
compensation, and p riv a te pension benefits payable to the disabled employee.
Hospitalization, s u r g ic a l, and m ed ical insurance plans re ported
in these s urv ey s p ro v id e full o r p art ial payment fo r basic s e rv ic e s re ndered.
H ospitalization in su rance co v ers hospital room and b o ard and may co ver
other hospital exp enses. S u rg ic a l insurance covers s urgeo ns' fees. M edical
in su ran ce co v ers d o c t o r s ' fees fo r home, office, or hospital calls.
Plan s
re st r i c t e d to p o s t -o p e r a t iv e m ed ic al care or a doctor's care fo r m in or
ailments at a w o r k e r ' s p lace of employment ar e not co nsid ered to be
m ed ica l in su ran ce.
M a j o r m e d ic a l in su rance cover age applies to s e r v i c e s which go
beyond the b a s ic s e r v i c e s cover ed under hospitalization, s u r g ic a l, and
m e d ic a l in su ran ce.
M a j o r m ed ica l insurance typically (1) re q u ir e s that a
" de du ctib le" (e .g., $5 0 ) be met befo re benefits begin, (2) has a coinsurance
fea ture that re q u ir e s the in su re d to pay a portion (e.g., 20 perce nt) of
ce rta in ex p en s es , and (3) has a specified d ollar m axim um of benefits (e.g.,
$ 10, 000 a y e a r ).
Dental in su ra nce plans provide norm al dental se rv ic e benefits,
usually fo r fillin g s, extra ctio ns, and X - r a y s . Plans which provide benefits
only fo r o r a l s u r g e r y o r re pairing accident damage ar e not reported.
Re tir em ent pension plans provide fo r re g u la r payments to the
re tir e e fo r life.
Included are d e fe r re d p ro fit -s h ar in g plans which provide
the option of p urchasin g a lifetime annuity.
4 A n establishment is considered as having a form al plan if it specifies at least the minimum number
o f days o f sick lea ve a vailable to each em ployee.
Such a plan need not be written, but informal sick leave
allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

Occupational

The p r i m a r y purp ose of p repari ng job descriptions fo r the
B u r e a u 's w age
s urv ey s is to assist its field staff in clas sifyin g into
appr opr iate occupations w o r k e r s who ar e employed under a varie ty of
p a y ro ll titles and different w o rk arrangements from establishment to
es tablishment and fr o m a r e a to area.
This permits the grouping of
occupational wage rates repr es enting co mparable job content.
Because
of this em phasis on in terestablishment and in terarea comparability
of occupational
content, the B u r e a u 's job
descriptions may diffe r s i g ­
nificantly fr o m
those in use in individual establishments o r those p r e ­
p a re d fo r other p u rp o s es .
In applying these job des criptions , the
B u r e a u ' s field econo mists are instructed to exclude working s u p e r ­
v i s o r s ; appr en tices ; and p a r t -t i m e , te m po rary , and probationary w o r k e r s .
Handicapped w o r k e r s whose earnings are reduced because of their
handicap ar e al so excluded. L e a r n e r s , beginners, and tr ain ees , unless
spe cifically included in the job description, are excluded.
