The Bureau of L ab or S tatistics p ro g ra m of annual occupa

on occupational earn in gs, and establishm ent p ra c tic e s and supplem en

fo r the United States. A m a jo r con sid eration in the p ro g ra m is the
need fo r g re a te r in sigh t into (1) the m ovem en t of w ages by occupa
tional ca te g o ry and sk ill le v e l, and (2) the structure and le v e l of
w ages among a rea s and industry d ivisio n s.
A t the end of each su rvey, an individual area bulletin p r e
sents the re s u lts . A fte r com pletion of a ll individual area bulletins
fo r a round of su rveys, two sum m ary bu lletins are issued. The fir s t
brings data fo r each of the m etro p o lita n a rea s studied into one bulletin.
The second p resen ts in form a tion which has been p ro jected fro m in d i

This area is 1 o f 90 in which the U.S. D epartm ent o f L a b o r's
Bureau of L a b or S tatistics conducts su rveys o f occupational earnings
and re la ted benefits on an areaw ide b a s is .1 In this area , data w ere ob

establishm ents within six broad industry d ivis io n s : M anufacturing;
tran sportation , com m unication, and other public u tilitie s ; w h olesale

M a jo r industry groups excluded fro m these studies a re governm ent
operations and the construction and e x tra c tiv e in d u stries. E sta b lish
m ents having fe w e r than a p re s c rib e d number of w o rk e rs a re om itted
because they tend to furnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations
studied to w arran t inclusion. Separate tabulations are p rovid ed fo r
each o f the broad industry d ivision s which m eet publication c r ite r ia .
Th ese su rveys a re conducted on a sam ple basis because o f
the unnecessary cost in volved in su rveyin g a ll establishm ents. To
obtain optim um accu racy at m inim um cost, a g re a te r p rop ortion of
la r g e than o f sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data,
h o w ever, a ll establishm ents a re given th e ir ap p ropriate w eight. E s t i

as rela tin g to a ll establishm ents in the industry grouping and area ,
except fo r those below the m inim um s iz e studied.
Occupations and Earnings
The occupations selected fo r study a re com m on to a v a rie ty

(3) m aintenance and pow erplant; and (4) custodial and m a te ria l m o v e

E arnings data not shown sep a ra tely fo r industry d ivision s a re included

Occupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r

E arnings data exclude prem iu m pay fo r o v e rtim e and fo r w ork on

A v e r a g e w eek ly earnings fo r these occupations have been

T h ese su rveys m easu re the le v e l o f occupational earnings in

Such shifts in em ploym ent could d ec re a s e an occupational, avera ge even

W a g e T re n d s fo r S e le c te d O c c u p a tio n a l G ro u p s
shows the p ercen tage change. The index is the product of m ultiplying
the base y e a r re la tiv e (100) by the re la tiv e fo r the next succeeding
y e a r and continuing to m u ltip ly (compound) each y e a r 's re la tiv e by the
p reviou s y e a r 's index.
P re s e n te d in table 2 are indexes and p ercen tages o f change
in a vera g e s a la rie s o f o ffic e c le r ic a l w o rk e rs and indu strial nurses,
and in a vera g e earnings of selected p lan tw orker groups. The indexes
a re a m easu re of w ages at a given tim e, exp ressed as a p ercen t of
w ages during the base p eriod . Subtracting 100 fro m the index yields
the percen tage change in w ages fro m the base p eriod to the date of
the index.
The percen tages of change or in c re a s e rela te to wage
changes betw een the indicated dates. Annual rates of in c re a s e , w here
shown, r e fle c t the amount o f in crea se fo r 12 months when the tim e
p e rio d between su rveys was other than 12 months. Th ese computations
w e r e based on the assum ption that wages in crea sed at a constant rate
between su rveys. T h ese estim ates a re m easu res of change in a v e r
ages fo r the area ; they are not intended to m easu re avera ge pay
changes in the establishm ents in the area.
F o r o ffic e c le r ic a l w o rk e rs and indu strial nurses, the wage

ex clu sive of earnings fo r o v e rtim e .
F o r plantw orker groups, they
m easu re changes in a vera g e s tra ig h t-tim e hourly earnings, excluding
prem iu m pay fo r o v e rtim e and fo r w ork on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts. The percen tages are based on data fo r selected key occu
pations and include m ost of the n u m erica lly im portant jobs within
each group.
L im ita tion s of Data
Method of Computing
The indexes and percen tages o f change, as m easu res of
change in area a v e ra g e s , a re influenced by: ( l ) gen era l salary and
wage changes, (2) m e rit or other in crea ses in pay re c e iv e d by in d i
vidual w o rk e rs w h ile in the same job, and (3) changes in average
w ages due to changes in the labor fo rc e resu ltin g fro m labor tu rn
o v e r, fo r c e expansions, fo rc e reductions, and changes in the p ro p o r
tions of w o rk e rs em ployed by establishm ents with d ifferen t pay le v e ls .
Changes in the lab or fo rc e chn cause in crea ses or d ecrea ses in the
occupational a vera g es without actual wage changes. It is conceivable
that even though a ll establishm ents in an area gave wage in crea ses,
a vera ge w ages m ay have declined because lo w er-p a yin g establishm ents

T h ey are not influenced by
changes in standard w ork schedules, as such, o r by prem ium pay

F o o tn o te s
A l l of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin.
1 Standard hours r e fle c t the w orkw eek fo r which em ployees r e c e iv e their regular straigh t-tim e sa la ries (e xclu siv e of pay fo r ove rtim e
at regular and/or prem iu m rates), and the earnings correspond to these w eek ly hours.
2 The mean is computed
fo r each job by totaling the earnings of all w o r k e r s and dividing by the number of w o rk e rs .
The median
designates position— half of the
em ployees surveyed r e c e iv 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 le s s than the lo w e r of these rates and a fourth earn m o r e than the higher rate.
3 Excludes prem ium pay for o v e r tim e and fo r w ork on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
4 These s alaries r ela te to f o r m a lly established minimum starting (hiring) regu la r straigh t-tim e salaries that are paid f o r standard
workweeks.
5 Excludes w o r k e r s in su bclerical jobs such as m e ssen ger.
6 Data are presented fo r all standard workweeks combined, and for the m ost common standard workweeks reported.
7 Includes a ll plantw orkers in establishments cu rren tly operating late shifts, and establishments whose fo r m a l provision s c o ver late
shifts, even though the establishments w e r e not currently operating late shifts.
8 L ess than 0.05 percent.
9 L e s s than 0.5 percent.
1 A l l combiflations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; for example, the proportio n of w o rk e rs r e ceivin 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.
P ro p ortion s
then w e r e cumulated.
1 Includes payments other than "length of t i m e , " such as percentage o f annual earnings or fla t-su m payments, converted to an equivalent
1
tim e basis; fo r example, a payment of 2 percent of
annual earnings was considered as 1 w e e k 's pay. P e r i o d s of s e r v ic e w e r e chosen a r b it r a r ily
and do not n e c e s s a r ily r e fle c t the individual provisions for p rogression . F o r example, the changes in proportions indicated at 10 y e a rs ' s e rv ic e
include changes in provision s occu rring between 5 and 10 years. E stim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportio n eligib le fo r 3 w eeks' pay or
m o r e after 10 yea rs includes those e lig ib le fo r 3 w eeks' pay or m o r e after fe w e r years of s e rv ic e .
1 Estim 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
2
plans" include only those plans financed en tire ly by the em ployer. Excluded are le g a lly required plans, such as w orkm en 's compensation, social
security, and ra ilro a d retirem ent.
1 Unduplicated total of w o r k e r s r e ceivin g sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are
3
lim ited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that can be expected by each employee.
