ANNOUNCEMENT
Area Wage Survey bulletins will be issued once every 3 years.
These bulletins will contain information on establishment practices and
supplementary benefits as well as earnings. In the interim years,
supplements containing data on earnings only will be issued at no
additional cost to holders of the Area Wage bulletin. If you wish to
receive these supplements, please complete the coupons listed on
page 31 of this bulletin and mail to any of the BLS regional addresses
listed on the back cover. No further action on your part is necessary.
Each year, you will receive the supplement when it is published.

Preface
This bulletin provides results of a November 1974 survey of occupational earnings
and supplementary wage benefits in the Louisville, Kentucky—Indiana, Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Area (Bullitt, Jefferson, and Oldham Counties, Kentucky; and Clark and Floyd
Counties, Indiana). 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 Statistical
Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii.
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 m arkets, 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 develops 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, 79 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 benefits is obtained every third year.
Results of the next two annual surveys, providing earnings data only, will be issued as free
supplements to this bulletin. The supplements may be obtained from the Bureau's regional
offices. (See back cover for addresses.)
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 Louisville survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in Atlanta, Ga.,
under the general direction of Donald M. Cruse, Associate A ssistant Regional Director for
Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the
many firm s 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.

Note:
Reports on occupational earnings and supplementary wage provisions in the
Louisville area are available for the metalworking (November 1972), auto dealer repair shops
(June 1973), and banking (September 1973) industries. A lso available are listings of union
wage rates for building trades, printing trades, local-transit operating employees, local
truckdrivers and helpers, and grocery store em ployees. Free copies of these are available
from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover for addresses.)

Introduction
This area is 1 of 79 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's
Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and
related benefits on an areawide basis. In this area, data were obtained
by personal visits of Bureau field economists to representative estab­
lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transpor­
tation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail
trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major industry
groups excluded from these studies are government operations and the
construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than
a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient
employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided
for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.
A -series tables
Tables A - 1 through A - 6 provide estimates of straight-time
hourly or weekly earnings for workers in occupations common to a
variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupations
were selected from the following categories: (a) Office clerical, (b) pro­
fessional and technical, (c) maintenance and powerplant, and (d) custodial
and material movement. In the 31 largest survey areas, tables A -l a
through A -6a provide similar data for establishments employing 500
workers or more.
Following the occupational wage tables is table A - 7 which
provides percent changes in average earnings of office clerical work­
ers, electronic data processing workers, industrial nurses, skilled




maintenance workers, and unskilled plant workers.
This measure of
wage trends eliminates changes in average earnings caused by employ­
ment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments
included in survey samples. Where possible, data are presented for all
industries, manufacturing, and nonmanufacturing. Appendix A discusses
this wage trend measure.
B -series tables
The B -series tables present information on minimum entrance
salaries for office workers; late-shift pay provisions and practices for
plant workers in manufacturing; and data separately for plant and office
workers on scheduled weekly hours and days of first-sh ift workers; paid
holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans.
Appendixes
This bulletin has two appendixes.
Appendix A describes the
methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program. It provides
information on the scope of the area survey and information on the area's
industrial composition in manufacturing. It also provides information
on labor-management agreement coverage.
Appendix B provides job
descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify workers in
occupations for which straight-time earnings information is presented.

A ll of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin.

1 ^ Standard hours reflect the workweek for which em ployees receive their regular straight-tim e sa la ries (exclusive of pay for overtime
2 The mean is computed for each job
by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of w orkers. The median
designates position— half of the em ployees surveyed receive m ore and half receive less than the rate shown.
The middle range is defined
by two rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn m ore than the higher rate.
3 Excludes prem ium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
4 These salaries relate to form ally established minimum starting (hiring) regular straight-tim e salaries that are paid for standard
workweeks.
5 Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as m essen ger.
6 Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the m ost common standard workweeks reported.
7 Includes all plant workers in establishments currently operating late shifts, and establishments whose form al provisions cover late
shifts, even though the establishm ents were not currently operating late shifts.
8 L e ss than 0.05 percent.
9 L ess than 0.5 percent.
10 For purposes of this study, pay for
a Sunday in D ecem ber, negotiated in the automobile industry, is not treated as a paid holiday.
11 A ll combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; for exam ple, the proportion of w orkers receiving
a totalof 9 days includes those with 9 full days and no half days, 8 full days and 2 half days, 7 full days and 4 half days, and so on.
Proportions then were cumulated.
12 A C hristm as—New Year holiday period is an unbroken series of holidays which includes Christm as Eve, C hristm as Day, New Y e a r 's
Eve, and New Y e a r 's Day.
Such a holiday period is common in the automobile, aerospace, and farm im plem ent industries.
13 "F lo a tin g " holidays vary from year to year according to em ployer or employee choice.
14 Includes payments other than "length of t i m e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or fla t-su m paym ents, converted
to an
equivalent tim e b a sis; for exam ple, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 week’ s pay. Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily
and do not n ecessa rily reflect individual provisions for progression; for exam ple, changes in proportions at 10 years include changes between
5 and 10 y e a rs. E stim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay after 10 y ears includes those eligible for
at least 3 w eek s’ pay after fewer years of service.
15 E stim ates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the em ployer. "Noncontributory
plans" include only those financed entirely by the em ployer.
Excluded are legally required plans, such as w orkm en’ s compensation,
social
security, and railroad retirem ent.
16 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are
limited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that each employee can expect.
Inform al sick leave
allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.
