It yields detailed data by selected industry division for each of the areas studied, for geographic regions, and for the United States. A major consideration in the program is the need for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level, and (2) the struc ture and level of wages among areas and industry divisions. Introduction________________________________________________________________ Wage trends for selected occupational groups----------------------------------------- At the end of each survey, an individual area bul letin presents the survey results. After completion of all of the individual area bulletins for a round of surveys, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings data for each of the metropolitan areas studied into one bulletin. The second presents information which has been projected from individual metropolitan area data to relate to geo graphic regions and the United States. A. Occupational earnings: A - l .

The Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through January 1968, consists of Jefferson, Orleans, St. Bernard and St. Tammany Parishes. This study was con ducted by the Bureau's regional office in Dallas, Tex., under the general direction of Boyd B. O'Neal, Assistant Regional Director for Operations. 1 5 Tables: 1. Establishments and workers within scope of survey and number studied____________________________________________________ 2. Indexes of standard weekly salaries and straight-time hourly earnings for selected occupational groups, and percents of change for selected periods-------------------------------------- Appendix. Occupational descriptions------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: Similar tabulations are available for other areas. (See inside back cover.) Current reports on occupational earnings and supple mentary wage provisions in the New Orleans area are also available for auto dealer repair shops (August 1969), and banking (November 1969). Union scales, indicative of pre vailing pay levels, are available for building construction; printing; local-transit operating employees; and local truckdrivers, helpers, and allied occupations. iii 4 6 7 10 25 In tro d u c tio n Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time workers, i.e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude pre mium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which em ployees receive their regular straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earn ings for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar. This area is 1 of 90 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related benefits on an areawide b asis.1 In this area, data were obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to represent ative . establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manu facturing; transportation, 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 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 publi cation criteria. These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular time. Comparisons of individual occupational averages over time may not reflect expected wage changes. The averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. For example, proportions of workers employed by high- or low-wage firms may change or high-wage workers may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new workers at lower rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an occupational average even though most establishments in an area increase Wages during the year. Trends in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table 2, are better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups. These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishments. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than of small establishments is studied. In combining the data, however, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s timates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore, as relating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area, except for those below the minimum size studied. Occupations and Earnings The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (l) Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material move ment. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within the same job. The occupations selected for study are listed and described 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 some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in the A -se rie s tables, because either (l) employment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in all industries combined data, where shown. Likewise, data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification of secretaries or truckdrivers is not shown or information to subclassify is not available. The averages presented reflect composite, areawide esti mates. Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing and, thus, contribute differently to the estimates 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 establishments. Similarly, differences in average pay levels for men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be assumed to reflect differences in pay treatment of the sexes within individual establishments. Other possible factors which may con tribute 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 performed, although the workers are classified appropriately within the same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying employees in these surveys are usually more generalized than those used in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among establishments in the specific duties performed. 1 Included in the 90 areas are four studies con d u cted under contract w ith the N ew York State D epartm ent o f Labor. These areas are Bingham ton (N ew Y ork portion o n ly ); R ochester ( o f f i c e o c c u pations on ly); Syracuse; and U tica —R om e. In add ition, the Bureau conducts m ore lim ite d area studies in 77 areas at the request o f the W age and Hour D ivision o f the U. S. D epartm en t o f Labor. 1 Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because of differences in occupational structure 2 among establishments, the estimates of occupational employment ob tained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational structure do not affect materially the accuracy of the earnings data. Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions Information is presented (in the B -series tables) on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions as they relate to plant and office workers. Data for industry divisions not presented separately are included in the estimates for "a ll industries." Administrative, executive, and professional employees, and construc tion workers who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded. "Plant workers" include working foremen and all nonsupervisory workers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice func tions. "Office workers" include working supervisors and nonsuper visory workers performing clerical or related functions. Cafeteria workers and routemen are excluded in manufacturing industries, but included in nonmanufacturing industries. Minimum entrance salaries for women office workers (table B -l) relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum sampling techniques used, and the probability that large establish ments are more likely to have formal entrance rates for workers above the subclerical level than small establishments, the table is more-representative of policies in medium and large establishments. Shift differential data (table B-2) are limited to plant workers in manufacturing industries. This information is presented both in terms of (1) establishment policy, 2 presented in terms of total plant worker employment, and (2) effective practice, presented in terms of workers actually employed on the specified shift at the time of the survey. In establishments having varied differentials, the amount applying to a majority was used or, if no amount applied to a majority, the classification "other" was used. In establishments in which some late-shift hours are paid at normal rates, a differential was recorded only if it applied to a majority of the shift hours. The scheduled weekly hours (table B-3) of a majority of the first-shift workers in an establishment are tabulated as applying to all of the plant or office workers of that establishment. Scheduled weekly hours are those which a majority of full-time employees were expected to work, whether they were paid for at straight-time or overtime rates. Paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans (tables B -4 through B-6) are treated statistically on the basis that these are applicable to all plant or office workers if ^ A n establishm ent was considered as having a p o lic y i f it m et either o f the fo llo w in g c o n ditions: (1) Operated late shifts at the tim e o f the survey, or (2 ) had form al provisions coverin g late shifts. A n establishm ent was considered as having form al provisions if it (1 ) had operated late shifts during the 12 months prior to the survey, or (2 ) had provisions in w ritten form for operating late shifts. a majority of such workers are eligible or may eventually qualify for the practices listed. Sums of individual items in tables B -2 through B -6 may not equal totals because of rounding. Data on paid holidays (table B-4) are limited to data on holi days granted annually on a formal basis; i.e ., (1) are provided for in written form, or (2) have been established by custom. Holidays ordinarily granted are included even though they may fall on a non workday and the worker is not granted another day off. The first part of the paid holidays table presents the number of whole and half holidays actually granted. The second part combines whole and half holidays to show total holiday time. The summary of vacation plans (table B-5) is limited to a statistical measure of vacation provisions. It is not intended as a measure of the proportion of workers actually receiving specific bene fits. Provisions of an establishment for all lengths of service were tabulated as applying to all plant or office workers of the establish ment, regardless of length of service. Provisions for payment on other than a time basis were converted to a time basis; for example, a payment of 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as the equiv alent of 1 week's pay. Only basic plans are included. Estimates exclude vacation bonus and vacation-savings plans arid those which offer "extended" or "sabbatical" benefits beyond basic plans with qualifying lengths of service. Such exclusions are typical in the steel, aluminum, and can industries. Data on health, insurance, and pension plans (table B-6) in clude those plans for which the employer pays at least a part of the cost. Such plans include those underwritten by a commercial insurance company and those provided through a union fund or paid directly by the employer out of current operating funds or from a fund set aside for. this purpose. An establishment was considered to have a plan if the majority of employees was eligible to be covered under the plan, even if less than a majority elected to participate because employees were required to contribute toward the cost of the plan. Legally required plans, such as workmen's compensation, social security, and railroad retirement were excluded. Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of insurance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly to the insured during illness or accident disability. Information is presented for all such plans to which the employer contributes. How ever, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted temporary disability insurance laws which require employer contributions, plans are included only if the employer (l) contributes more than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits which exceed the requirements of the law. Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are ^ The tem porary disability laws contributions. in C a liforn ia and Rhode Island do not require em ployer 3 l i m i t e d to f o r m a l p l a n s 4 w h i c h p r o v i d e f u l l p a y o r a p r o p o r t i o n o f the w o r k e r 's pay during a b s e n c e f r o m w o r k b e c a u s e o f illn e s s .
