AREA WAGE SURVEY

P re fa c e
This bulletin provides results of a Novem ber 1972 survey of occupational
earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Miam i, Florida, Standard
Metropolitan Statistical A re a (Dade County). 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 w ell as national and
regional estimates for all Standard Metropolitan A re a s in the United States,
excluding A laska and Hawaii, (as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget through Novem ber 1971).
A m ajor 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 Labo r 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 noifr obtained every third year.

The second summary bulletin presents national and

The Miami survey was conducted by the B ureau's regional office in
Atlanta, Ga., under the general direction of Donald M. C ruse, Assistant 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.

N o te :
Current reports on occupational earnings and supplementary wage provi­
sions in the Miami area are available for contract cleaning services (July 1971),
and women's and m isse s' dresses (August 1971). A lso available are listings of
union wage rates for seven selected building trades. F ree copies of these are
available from the B ureau's regional offices.

In tro d u c tio n
This a rea is 1 of 96 in which the U.S. Department o f L a b o r 's
Bureau o f L a b o r Statistics conducts surveys o f occupational earnings
and re la te d benefits on an areaw id e b a s is . 1 In this a rea, data w e r e
obtained by p erson al v is its o f Bureau fie ld econom ists to r e p r e s e n t a ­
tiv e establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing:
transportatio n, communication, and other public u tilitie s; wholesale
trade; re ta il trade; finance, insurance, and rea l estate; and s e r v ic e s .
M a jo r industry groups excluded fr o m these studies are governm ent
operatio ns and the construction and e x tr a c tiv e industries. E s ta b lish ­
ments having f e w e r than a p r e s c r ib e d number o f w o rk e rs are om itted
because of in sufficient em ploym ent in the occupations studied. Sepa­
rate tabulations a re p ro vid ed for each o f the broad industry divisions
which m e e t publication c r i t e r i a .

is too s m all to p ro vid e enough data to m e r i t presentation, o r (2) there
is p o s s ib ility o f d is c lo s u re o f individual establishm ent data. Earnings
data not shown s ep a ra tely fo r industry divisions are included in all
industries combined data, where shown. L ik e w is e , data are included
in the o v e r a l l c la s s ific a tio n when a subclassification of electronics
technicians, s e c r e t a r ie s , o r t r u c k d r iv e r s is not shown o r information
to subclassify is not available.
Occupational em ploym ent and earnin gs data are shown for
fu ll- tim e w o r k e r s , i.e ., those hired to work a r e g u la r w eekly schedule.
Earnings data exclude p rem iu m pay fo r o v e r t im e and fo r work on
weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are e x ­
cluded, but c o s t - o f - l i v i n g allo wances and incentive earnings are in ­
cluded.2 W here weekly hours are rep orted , as fo r o ffic e c le r ic a l occu­
pations, r e fe r e n c e is to the standard w orkw eek (rounded to the nearest
half hour) fo r which e m p lo yees r e c e i v e their re g u la r straigh t-tim e
s a la r ie s (ex c lu s iv e o f pay fo r o v e r t im e at re g u la r and/or premium
r a tes).
A v e r a g e w eek ly earnings f o r these occupations are rounded
to the n ea rest half d o lla r.

T h ese surveys a re conducted on a sample basis. The s a m ­
pling p roced u res in volve detailed stra tifica tio n of all establishments
within the scope o f an individual a r e a survey by industry and number
o f em p lo y e e s . F r o m this stra tifie d un iverse a p robability sample is
selected, with each establishm ent having a p red e te rm in e d chance of
selection. T o obtain optimum a c c u ra c y at m inim um cost, a g r e a te r
prop ortion o f la rg e than sm all establishments is selected. When data
a re combined, each establishment is weighted according to its p rob a ­
b ility o f s election , so that unbiased estim a tes a re generated. F o r e x ­
ample, i f one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a
weight o f four to re p re s e n t i t s e l f plus th ree others. An alternate of the
same o r ig in a l p robability is chosen in the same in d u s try -s ize c l a s s i f i ­
cation i f data are not available fo r the o r ig in a l sample m e m b e r .
If
no suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a
sample m e m b e r that is s im ila r to the m is s in g unit.

T h ese surveys m e a s u re the l e v e l o f occupational earnings in
an a re a at a p a rtic u la r tim e . C om parison s o f individual occupational
a v e ra g e s o v e r tim e m ay not r e f l e c t expected wage changes. The a v e r ­
ages fo r individual jobs a re affected by changes in wages and e m p lo y ­
ment patterns.
F o r exam ple, proportio ns o f w o r k e r s employed by
high- o r lo w -w a g e f i r m s m ay change o r h ig h-w age w o r k e r s m ay ad­
vance to better jobs and be rep la ced by new w o r k e r s at low er rates.
Such shifts in em ploym ent could d e c r e a s e an occupational average
even though m o s t establishments in an a re a in c re a s e wages during
the y e a r . Tren ds in earnings o f occupational groups, shown in table 2,
a re better indic ators o f wage trends than individual jobs within the
groups.

Occupations and Earnings
The occupations se le c te d fo r study a re common to a v a r ie t y
of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are o f the
fo llow in g types:
(1) O ffic e c l e r i c a l ; (2) p ro fe s s io n a l and technical;
(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m a t e r ia l m o v e ­
ment.
Occupational c la s s ific a tio n is based on a uniform set of job
d e scrip tion s designed to take account o f inter establishment variation
in duties within the same job. The occupations selected fo r study are
lis te d and d e s c rib e d in the appendix. Unless o th erw ise indicated, the
earnings data fo llo w in g the job titles a re f o r all industries combined.
Earn in gs data fo r some o f the occupations listed and d e scrib ed , o r
fo r som e industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in
the A - s e r i e s tables, because eith er (1) em plo ym ent in the occupation

thus contribute d iffe r e n tly to the estim ates fo r each job. Pay a v e r ­
ages m ay fa il to r e f l e c t accu rately the wage d iffe r e n tia l among jobs in
individual establishments.
A v e r a g e pay le v e ls fo r men and women in sele cted occupa­
tions should not be assumed to r e f l e c t d iffe r e n c e s in pay o f the sexes
within individual establishments.
F a c to rs which m a y contribute to
d iffe re n c e s include p r o g r e s s io n within established rate ranges, since
only the rates paid incumbents are c o llected , and p erfo rm a n ce of sp e­
c ific duties within the g e n e ra l su rvey job d e scrip tion s. Job d e s c r i p ­
tions used to c la s s ify e m p lo yees in these surveys usually are m o r e
g e n e r a liz e d than those used in individual establishments and allo w f o r
m in o r d iffe r e n c e s among establishments in sp e c ific duties p e rfo rm e d .

1 Included in the 96 areas are 10 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas
are Austin, Tex. j Binghamton, N .Y . (New York portion only); Durham, N. C. ; Fort Lauderdale—
Hollywood and West Palm Beach, F la .; Huntsville, A la .; Lexington, K y .; Poughkeepsie—Kingston—
Newburgh, N. Y . ; Rochester, N .Y . (office occupations only); Syracuse, N.Y. ; and Utica—Rome, N.Y.
In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies in approximately 70 areas at the request
of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.




2
Special payments provided for work in designated parts of the area by companies not consid­
ering such payments a part of the regular salary or hourly rate were not included because of reporting
problems. Such instances are few and do not have a large im pact on the published data.

Data on paid holidays a re lim ite d to holidays granted annu­

(2) a re established by custom. (See table B - 4 .) Holid ays o r d in a r ily

the w o r k e r is not granted another day off. The f i r s t part o f the paid
holidays table presen ts the number of whole and half holidays actually
granted.
The second part combines whole and half holidays to show
total holiday t i m e . Table B -4 a reports the incid ence o f the m o s t
com m on paid holidays.
The su m m a ry o f vacation plans is a statistical m e a s u re of
vacation p ro v is io n s rather than a m e a s u re of the prop ortion of w o r k e r s

v e r te d to a tim e period; fo r exam ple, 2 percent o f annual earnings
are c o n sid ered equivalent to 1 w e e k s ' pay. Only basic plans are in ­
cluded. E s tim a te s exclude vacation bonuses, vacation -savin gs plans,
and "e x te n d e d " o r " s a b b a tic a l" benefits beyond basic plans.
Such
p r o visio n s are ty p ic a l in the steel, aluminum, and can industries.
Health, insurance, and pension plans fo r which the e m p lo y er
pays at lea st a part of the cost include those (1) underwritten by a

through a union fund, o r (3) paid d ir e c t ly by the e m p lo y e r out of c u r ­
rent operating funds o r fr o m a fund set aside for this purpose. (See

P resented in table 2 are indexes and percents of change in
average weekly salaries of office c le ric a l w orkers and industrial
n urses, and in average hourly earnings of selected plantworker groups.
The indexes are a m easure of wages at a given time, expressed as a
percent of wages during the base period.
Subtracting 100 from the
index yields the percent change in w ages from the base period to the
date of the index. The percents of change or increase relate to wage
changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of increase, where
shown, reflect the amount of increase for 12 months when the time
period between surveys was other than 12 months.
These compu­
tations are based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant
rate between surveys.
These estimates are m easures of change in
averages for the area; they are not intended to m easure average pay
changes in the establishments in the area.

The index is a m easure of wages at a given time and is ex­
pressed as a percent of wages in the base year.
The base year is
assigned the value of 100 percent. The index is computed by m ulti­
plying the base year relative (100 percent) by the relative (the percent
change plus 100 percent) for the next succeeding year and then con­
tinuing to multiply (compound) each y e a r's relative by the previous
y e a r's index.
F o r office c le ric a l w o rk ers and industrial nurses, the wage
trends relate to regular weekly salaries for the norm al workweek,
exclusive of earnings for overtim e.
For plantworker groups, they
m easure changes in average straight-tim e hourly earnings, excluding
prem ium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts.
The percents are based on data for selected key occu­
pations and include most of the num erically important jobs within
each group.

Method of Computing
Each of the following key occupations within an occupational
group is assigned a constant weight based on its proportionate em ­
ployment in the occupational group:
Office clerical (men and
women):
Bookkeeping-machine
operators, class B
Clerks, accounting, classes
A and B
Clerks, file , classes
A , B, and C
Clerks, order
Clerks, payroll
Keypunch operators, classes
A and B
Messengers (office boys or
girls)

Office clerical (men and
women)— Continued
Secretaries
Stenographers, general
Stenographers, senior
Switchboard operators, classes
A and B
Tabulating-m achine operators,
class B
Typists, classes A and B
Industrial nurses (men and
women):
Nurses, industrial (registered)

Limitations of Data
The indexes and percents of change, as m easures of change
in area averages, are influenced by: (1) G eneral salary and wage
changes, (2) m erit or other increases 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 turnover, force
expansions, force reductions, and changes in the proportions of w ork ­
ers employed by establishments with different pay levels. Changes in
the labor force can cause increases or d ecreases in the occupational
averages without actual wage changes.
It is conceivable that even
though all establishments in an area gave wage increases, average
wages may have declined because low er-paying establishments entered
the area or expanded their work forces. Sim ilarly, wages may have
remained relatively constant, yet averages for an area may have risen
considerably because higher-paying establishments entered the area.

Skilled maintenance (men):
Carpenters
Electricians
Machinists
Mechanics
Mechanics (automotive)
Painters
Pipefitters
Tool and die makers
Unskilled plant (men):
Janitors, porters, and
cleaners
Laborers, m aterial handling

NOTE: Comptometer operators, used in the computation of previous trends, are no longer
surveyed by the Bureau.

The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effect
of changes in the proportion of w ork ers represented in each job in­
cluded in the data.
The percents 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 overtime.
W here necessary, data are adjusted to remove from
the indexes and percents of change any significant effect caused by
changes in the scope of the survey.

The average (mean) earnings for each occupation are m ulti­
plied by the occupational weight, and the products for all occupations
in the group are totaled. The aggregates for 2 consecutive years are
related by subtracting the aggregate for the e a rlie r year from the
aggregate for the later year and dividing the rem ainder by the a g g re ­
gate for the e a rlie r year.
The result times 100 shows the percent
of change.

at regular and/or p rem iu m ra te s ), and the earnings correspond to these w eek ly hours.
2 The mean is computed fo r each job by totaling the earnings of a ll w o rk e rs and dividing by the number of w o r k e r s .
The median
designates position— half of the em ployees surveyed r e c e i v e m o r e than the rate shown; half r e c e iv e less than the rate shown.
The middle
range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the w o rk e rs earn less than the lo w e r of these rates and a fourth earn m o r e than the higher rate.
3 Excludes prem iu m pay for o v e rtim e and for w o r k on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
4 T h ese s alaries relate to fo r m a l l y established minimum starting (hiring) regu lar s tra igh t-tim e s a la ries that are paid fo r standard

1 A l l combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; fo r example, the proportio n of w o rk e rs re c e iv in g a
0
total of 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. Proportion s
then w e r e cumulated.
1 T h ese days a re provided as part of a Chris tm as— ew Y e a r holiday p erio d which ty p ica lly begins with Christmas E ve and ends with
