Preface
This bulletin provides results of a May 1981 survey of occupational earnings
and supplementary wage benefits in the New York, N.Y.-N.J., Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area. The survey was made as part of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics’ annual area wage survey program. It was conducted by the
Bureau’s regional office in New York, N.Y., under the general direction of
Anthony J. Ferrara, Assistant Regional Commissioner for Operations. The
survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the many
firms 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.

Introduction
This area is 1 of 71 in which the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of
Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related
benefits. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, earnings data for
selected occupations (A-series tables) are collected annually. Information on
establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits (B-series tables) is
obtained every third year.
Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been completed, two
summary reports are issued. The first brings together data for each metropoli
tan area surveyed; the second presents national and regional estimates,
projected from individual metropolitan area data, for all Standard Metropoli
tan 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 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 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. Depart
ment of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of
1965.
A-series tables
Tables A-l through A-6 provide estimates of straight-time weekly or hourly
earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of manufacturing and
nonmanufacturing industries. Where possible, occupations with related duties
(e.g. accounting clerks and payroll clerks) are clustered to facilitate compari
son. The occupations are defined in appendix B. For the 31 largest survey
areas, tables A-12 through A-17 provide similar data for establishments
employing 500 workers or more.
Beginning in 1981, multilevel jobs are designated numerically instead of
alphabetically. A job conversion list is provided in appendix C.
Table A-7 provides indexes and percent changes in average hourly earnings
for office clerical workers, electronic data processing workers, industrial
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
nurses, skilled maintenance trades workers, and unskilled plant workers.
Where possible, data are presented for all industries and for manufacturing and
nonmanufacturing separately. Data are not presented for skilled maintenance
workers in nonmanufacturing because the number of workers employed in this
occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too small to warrant separate
presentation. This table provides a measure of wage trends after elimination of
changes in average earnings caused by employment shifts among establish
ments as well as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. For
further details, see appendix A.
Tables A-8 through A-l 1 provide measures of pay relationships in establish
ments. These measures may differ considerably from the pay relationships of
overall area averages published in tables A-l through A-6. See appendix A for
details.
B-series tables
The B-series tables present information on minimum entrance salaries for
inexperienced typists and clerks; late-shift pay provisions and practices for
production and related workers in manufacturing; and data separately for
production and related workers and office workers on scheduled weekly hours
and days of first-shift workers; paid holidays; paid vacations; health, insurance,
and pension plan provisions; and health plan participation.
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, the
area’s industrial composition in manufacturing, and labor-management agree
ment coverage.
Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field representatives
to classify workers by occupation.
Appendix C is an alphabetic to numeric conversion list for all multilevel jobs
in the survey.

Footnotes
Some of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin.
1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time
salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings
correspond to these weekly hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the
number of workers. The median designates position—half of the workers receive the same or
more and half receive the same or less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined by two
rates of pay; one-fourth of the workers earn the same or less than the lower of these rates and
one-fourth earn the same or more than the higher rate.
2 Earnings data relate only to workers whose sex identification was provided by the
establishment.
4 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
5 Estimates for periods ending prior to 1976 relate to men only for skilled maintenance and
unskilled plant workers. All other estimates relate to men and women.
• Data do not meet publication criteria or data not available.
7 Formally established minimum regular straight-time hiring salaries that are paid for standard
workweeks. Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the most common
standard workweeks reported.
*Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as messenger.
• Includes all production and related workers in establishments currently operating late shifts,
and establishments whose formal provisions cover late shifts, even though the establishments
were not currently operating late shifts.

10 Less than 0.05 percent.
11 Less than 0.5 percent.
12 All combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount; for example, the
proportion of workers receiving a total of 10 days includes those with 10 full days and no half
days, 9 full days and 2 half days, 8 full days and 4 half days, and so on. Proportions then were
cumulated.
“ Includes payments other than “length of time,” such as percentage of annual earnings or
flat-sum payments, converted to an equivalent time basis; for example, 2 percent of annual
earnings was considered as 1 week’s pay. Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily and do not
necessarily reflect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in proportions at
10 years include changes between 5 and 10 years. Estimates are cumulative. Thus, the
proportion eligible for at least 3 weeks’ pay after 10 years includes those eligible for at least 3
weeks’ pay after fewer years of sen/ice.
14 Estimates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is
borne by the employer. “Noncontributory plans" include only those financed entirely by the
employer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workers' disability compensation, social
security, and railroad retirement.
15 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance
shown separately. Sick leave plans are limited to those which definitely establish at least the
minimum number of days’ pay that each employee can expect. Informal sick leave allowances
determined on an individual basis are excluded.

hospitalization, sugical, medical, major medical, or dental benefits shown separately.
Appendix A.
Scope and Method
of Survey
In each of the 71 areas1 currently surveyed, the Bureau obtains wages and related
benefits data from representative establishments within six broad industry divisions:
Manufacturing; transportation, communication, and other public utilities; wholesale
trade; retail trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Government
operations and the construction and extractive industries are excluded. Small
establishments—generally those with fewer than 50 employees—are excluded because
they have few incumbents in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the
number of establishments and workers estimated to be within the scope of this survey,
as well as the number actually studied.
Bureau field representatives obtain data by personal visits at 3-year intervals. In each
of the two intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings
only is collected by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and telephone
interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.
A sample of the establishments in the scope of the survey is selected for study prior to
each personal visit survey. This sample, minus establishments which go out of business
or are no longer within the industrial scope of the survey, is retained for the following
two annual surveys. In most cases, establishments new to the area are not considered in
the scope of the survey until the selection of a sample for a personal visit survey.
The sampling procedures involve detailed stratification of all establishments within
the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number of employees. From this
stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment having a
predetermined chance of selection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a
greater proportion of large than small establishments is selected. When data are
combined, each establishment is weighted according to its probability of selection so
that unbiased estimates are generated. For example, if one out of four establishments is
selected, it is given a weight of 4 to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the
same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classification if data are not
available from the original sample member. If no suitable substitute is available,
additional weight is assigned to a sample member that is similar to the missing unit.
Occupations and earnings
Occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and
nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1) Office clerical; (2)
professional and technical; (3) maintenance, toolroom, and powerplant; and (4) material
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
movement and custodial. Occupational classification is based on a uniform set of job
descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within
the same job. Occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B.
Unless otherwise indicated, 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 the scope of the survey, are not presented in the Aseries tables because either (1) data were insufficient to provide meaningful statistical
results, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. Separate
men’s and women’s earnings data are not presented when the number of workers not
identified by sex is 20 percent or more of the men or women identified in an occupation.
Earnings data not shown separately for industry divisions are included in data for all
industries combined. Likewise, for occupations with more than one level, data are
included in the overall classification when a subclassification is not shown or
information to subclassify is not available.
Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-time workers, i.e.,
those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for
overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses
are excluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly
hours for office clerical and professional and technical occupations refer to the standard
workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees receive regular
straight-time salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium rates).
Average weekly earnings for these occupations are rounded to the nearest half dollar.
Most A-series tables provide distributions of workers by earnings; changes in the size of
earnings intervals are indicated by heavy vertical lines.
These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in an area at a particular
time. Changes in an occupational average over time reflect, in addition to earnings
changes, factors such as changes in proportions of workers employed by high- or lowwage firms, or high-wage workers advancing to better jobs and being 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.
Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A-7, are better indicators of
wage trends than are earnings changes for individual jobs within the groups.
Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries and establish
ments differ in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates
for each job. Pay averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among
jobs in individual establishments.
Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupations should not be
assumed to reflect differences in pay of the sexes within individual establishments.
Factors which may contribute to differences include progression within established rate
ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are collected) and performance of specific duties
within the general survey job descriptions. Job descriptions used to classify employees
in these surveys usually are more generalized than those used in individual establish
ments and allow for minor differences among establishments in specific duties
performed.
Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within
the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational
structures among establishments differ, estimates of occupational employment obtained
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.
Wage trends for selected occupational groups
Indexes in table A-7 measure 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
wages from the base period to the date of the index. The percent increases in table A-7
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 span between
surveys was other than 12 months. These computations are based on the assumption
that wages increased at a constant rate between surveys.
The indexes and percent increases are based on changes in average hourly earnings of
men and women in establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and
previous year (matched establishments). The data are adjusted to remove the effect on
average earnings of employment shifts among establishments and turnover of establish
ments included in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by
factors other than wage increases. Turnover may affect an establishment average for an
occupation when workers are paid under plans providing a range of wage rates for
individual jobs. In periods of increased hiring, for example, new employees may enter at
the bottom of the range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates.
Occupations used to compute wage trends are:
Office clerical
Secretaries
Stenographers I
Typists, I and II
File clerks, I, II, and III
Messengers
Switchboard operators
Order clerks, I and II
Accounting clerks2
Payroll clerks
Key entry operators, I and II
Industrial nurses
Registered industrial nurses
Skilled maintenance
Mechanics (machinery)
Mechanics (motor vehicle)
Pipefitters
Tool and die makers
Carpenters
Electricians
Painters
Machinists
Unskilled plant
Janitors, porters, and cleaners
Material handling laborers
Percent changes for individual areas in the program are computed as follows:
1. Average earnings are computed for each occupation for the 2 years being
compared. The averages are derived from earnings in those establishments which
are in the survey both years; it is assumed that employment remains unchanged.
2. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment in
the occupational group.
3. These weights are used to compute group averages. Each occupation’s average
earnings (computed in step 1) are multiplied by its weight. The products are
totaled to obtain a group average.
4. The ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the
average for the current year by the average for the earlier year. The result—
expressed as a percent—less 100 is the percent change.
The index is computed by adding 100 to the most recent percent increase, multiplying
the total by the previous year’s index number, and dividing the product by 100 to obtain
the current index value.
For a more detailed description of the method used to compute these wage trends, see
“Improving Area Wage Survey Indexes,” Monthly Labor Review, January 1973, pp. 52
57.
Pay relationships in establishments
Tables A-8 through A-11 compare average pay of occupations in individual
establishments. These comparisons, expressed as pay relatives (pay for one of the
occupations equals 100), yield different results than comparisons of overall survey
averages, such as those shown in tables A-l through A-6. The latter reflect differences
in contributions to the survey averages by establishments with disparate pay levels; the
pay relative comparisons are not affected by such differences.

The methods of computing and presenting pay relatives have changed since the last
survey in this area. The following procedures are now used to compute relatives in
tables A-8 through A-l 1:
1- Establishments employing workers in both of the paired occupations were
identified.
2. Pay levels (averages) for the two occupations were weighted by the combined
employment of both jobs to reflect each establishment’s contribution to the totals
used in this comparison.
3. The weighted pay levels of the two jobs were summed separately; each total was
divided by the other and the quotients multiplied by 100 to produce the two pay
relatives shown for each job pairing.
Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
The incidence of selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provi
sions is studied for full-time production and related workers and office workers.
Production and related workers (referred to hereafter as production workers) include
working supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (including group leaders and
trainees) engaged in fabricating, processing, assembling, inspection, receiving, storage,
handling, packing, warehousing, shipping, maintenance, repair, janitorial and guard
services, product development, auxiliary production for plant’s own use (e.g., powerplant), and recordkeeping and other services closely associated with the above
production operations. (Cafeteria and route workers are excluded in manufacturing
industries but included in nonmanufacturing industries.) In finance and insurance, no
workers are considered to be production workers. Office workers include working
supervisors and all nonsupervisory workers (including lead workers and trainees)
performing clerical or related office functions in such departments as accounting,
advertising, purchasing, collection, credit, finance, legal, payroll, personnel, sales,
industrial relations, public relations, executive, or transportation. Administrative,
executive, professional, and part-time employees as well as construction workers
utilized as a separate work force are excluded from both the production and office
worker categories.
Minimum entrance salaries (table B-l). Minimum entrance salaries for office workers
relate only to the establishments visited. Because of the optimum sampling techniques
used and the probability that large establishments are more likely than small establish
ments to have formal entrance rates above the subclerical level, the table is more
representative of policies in medium and large establishments. (The “X’s” shown under
specific weekly schedules indicate that no meaningful totals are applicable.)
Shift differentials-manufacturing (table B-2). Data were collected on policies of
manufacturing establishments regarding pay differentials for production workers on
late shifts. Establishments considered as having policies are those which (1) have
provisions in writing covering the operation of late shifts, or (2) have operated late
shifts at any time during the 12 months preceding a survey. When establishments have
several differentials which vary by job, the differential applying to the majority of the
production workers is recorded. When establishments have differentials which apply
only to certain hours of work, the differential applying to the most common schedule is
recorded.
For purposes of this study, a late shift is either a second (evening) shift which ends at
or near midnight or a third (night) shift which starts at or near midnight.

Differentials for second and third shifts are summarized separately for (1) establish
ment policies (an establishment’s differentials are weighted by all production workers in
the establishment at the time of the survey) and (2) effective practices (an establish
ment’s differentials are weighted by production workers employed on the specified shift
at the time of the survey).
Scheduled weekly hours; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension
plans. Provisions which apply to a majority of the production or office workers in an
establishment are considered to apply to all production or office workers in the
establishment; a practice or provision is considered nonexistent when it applies to less
than a majority. Holidays, vacations, and health and insurance plans are considered
applicable to employees currently eligible for the benefits. Pension plans are considered
applicable to employees currently eligible for participation and also to those who will
eventually become eligible.
Scheduled weekly hours and days (table B-3). Scheduled weekly hours and days refer to
the number of hours and days per week which full-time first (day) shift workers are
expected to work, whether paid for at straight- time or overtime rates.
Paid holidays (table B-4). Holidays are included if workers who are not required to work
are paid for the time off and those required to work receive premium pay or
compensatory time off. They are included only if they are granted annually on a formal
basis (provided for in written form or established by custom). Holidays are included
even though in a particular year they fall on a nonworkday and employees are not
granted another day off. Paid personal holiday plans, typically found in the automobile
and related industries, are included as paid holidays.
Data are tabulated to show the percent of workers 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 are aggregated).
Paid vacations (table B-5). Establishments report their method of calculating vacation
pay (time basis, percent of annual earnings, flat-sum payment, etc.) and the amount of
vacation pay granted. Only basic formal plans are reported. Vacation bonuses,
vacation-savings plans, and "extended” or “sabbatical” benefits beyond basic plans are
excluded.
For tabulating vacation pay granted, all provisions are expressed on a time basis.
Vacation pay calculated on other than a time basis is converted to its equivalent time
period. Two percent of annual earnings, for example, is tabulated as 1 week’s vacation
pay.
Also, provisions after each specified length of service are related to all production or
office workers in an establishment regardless of length of service. Vacation plans
commonly provide for a larger amount of vacation pay as service lengthens. Counts of
production or office workers by length of service were not obtained. The tabulations of
vacation pay granted present, therefore, statistical measures of these provisions rather
than proportions of workers actually receiving specific benefits.
Health, insurance, and pension plans (table B-6). Health, insurance, and pension plans
include plans for which the employer pays either all or part of the cost. The benefits
may be underwritten by an insurance company, paid directly by an employer or union,
or provided by a health maintenance organization. This year, for the first time in this
area, provisions for health maintenance organizations (HMO’s) are treated separately
from insurance provisions. Workers provided the option of an insurance plan or an
HMO are reported under both types of plans. A plan is included even though a majority
of the employees in an establishment do not choose to participate in it because they are
required to bear part of its cost (provided the choice to participate is available to a
majority). Legally required plans such as social security, railroad retirement, workers’
disability compensation, and temporary disability insurance3 are excluded.
Life insurance includes formal plans providing indemnity (usually through an
insurance policy) in case of death of the covered worker.
Accidental death and dismemberment insurance is limited to plans which provide
benefit payments in case of death or loss of limb or sight as a direct result of an accident.
Sickness and accident insurance includes only those plans which provide that
predetermined cash payments be made directly to employees who lose time from work
because of illness or injury, e.g., $50 a week for up to 26 weeks of disability.
Sick leave plans are limited to formal plans4 which provide for continuing an
employee’s pay during absence from work because of illness. Data collected distinguish
between (1) plans which provide full pay with no waiting period, and (2) plans which
either provide partial pay or require a waiting period.
Long-term disability insurance plans provide payments to totally disabled employees
upon the expiration of their paid sick leave and/or sickness and accident insurance, or
after a predetermined period of disability (typically 6 months). Payments are made until
the end of the disability, a maximum age, or eligibility for retirement benefits. Full or
partial payments are almost always reduced by social security, workers’ disability
compensation, and private pension benefits payable to the disabled employee.
Hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance plans reported in these surveys
provide full or partial payment for basic services rendered. Hospitalization insurance
covers hospital room and board and may cover other hospital expenses. Surgical
insurance covers surgeons’ fees. Medical insurance covers doctors’ fees for home,
office, or hospital calls. Plans restricted to post-operative medical care or a doctor’s
care for minor ailments at a worker’s place of employment are not considered to be
medical insurance.
Major medical insurance coverage applies to services which go beyond the basic
services covered under hospitalization, surgical, and medical insurance. Major medical
insurance typically (1) requires that a “deductible” (e.g., $100) be met before benefits
begin, (2) has a coinsurance feature that requires the insured to pay a portion (e.g., 20
percent) of certain expenses, and (3) has a specified dollar maximum of benefits (e.g.,
$10,000 a year).
Dental insurance plans provide normal dental service benefits, usually for fillings,
extractions, and X-rays. Plans which provide benefits only for oral surgery or repairing
accident damage are not reported.
An HMO provides comprehensive health care services to a specified group for fixed
periodic payments rather than indemnification or reimbursement for medical, surgical,
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
and hospital expenses.
Retirement pension plans provide for regular payments to the retiree for life.
Included are deferred profit-sharing plans which provide the option of purchasing a
lifetime annuity.
Health plan participation (table B-7). Estimates are presented on the percent of
production and office workers participating in selected health insurance and HMO
plans. When an establishment was unable to supply the number of plan participants,
approximations (imputations) were made, where possible, by using information from
other establishments offering a similar plan. Imputations were never made for more
than one-third of the production or clerical workers in an industry group (all industries,
manufacturing, nonmanufacturing, and transportation and utilities); when imputations
were made, they were usually for considerably less than one-third of the workers.
Participation rates were estimated and published if participant numbers (including
imputations) were available for 90 percent or more of the production or office workers
in an industry group; consequently, a published estimate may not relate to a group total.
1 Includes 70 areas surveyed under the Bureau’s regular program plus Poughkeepsie-KingstonNewburgh, N.Y., which is surveyed under contract. In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited
area studies in approximately 100 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administra
tion of the U.S. Department of Labor.
2 A revised 4-level job description for accounting clerks, being introduced in this survey, is not
comparable to the previous 2-level description. Earnings of workers that could be compared to the
previous overall level were used in wage trend computations.
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 California, New Jersey,
New York, and Rhode Island. Establishment plans which meet only the legal requirements are
excluded from these data, but those under which (1) employers contribute more than is legally
required or (2) benefits exceed those specified in the State law are included. In Rhode Island,
benefits are paid out of 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 fundfinancing: In California, only employees contribute to the State fund; in New Jersey,
employees and employers contribute; in New York, employees contribute up to a specified
maximum and employers pay the difference between the employees’ share and the total
contribution required.
Private plan financing: In California and New Jersey, employees cannot be required to contribute
more than they would if they were covered by the State fund; in New York, employees can agree
to contribute more if the State rules that the additional contribution is commensurate with the
benefit provided.
Federal legislation (Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act) provides temporary disability
insurance benefits to railroad workers for illness or injury, whether work-connected or not. The
legislation requires that employers bear the entire cost of the insurance.
4 An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it specifies at least the minimum
number of days of sick leave available to each employee. Such a plan need not be written, but
informal sick leave allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

1 The New York, N.Y.-N.J. Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget through
February 1974, consists of Bronx, Kings, New York, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, and Westchester Counties, N.Y.;
and Bergen County, N.J. The "workers within scope of survey" estimates provide a reasonably accurate description of the size
and composition of the labor force included in the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other
statistical series to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning of wage surveys requires establishment data
compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the
survey.
* The 1972 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used to classify establishments by industry division. All
government operations are excluded from the scope of the survey.
* Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of
nonmanufacturing companies are considered as one establishment when located within the same industry division.

NOTE: An establishment is considered to have a contract covering all production or

agreement. Therefore, all other production or office workers are employed in
establishments that either do not have labor-management contracts in effect, or have
contracts that apply to fewer than half of their production or office workers. Estimates
are not necessarily representative of the extent to which all workers in the area may be
covered by the provisions of labor-management agreements, because small establish
ments are excluded and the industrial scope of the survey is limited.

Appendix B.
Occupational
Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is
to assist its field representatives in classifying into appropriate occupations workers
who are employed under a variety of payroll titles and different work arrangements
from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This permits grouping
occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this emphasis
on interestablishment and interarea comparability of occupational content, the Bureau’s
job descriptions may differ significantly from those in use in individual establishments
or those prepared for other purposes. In applying these job descriptions, the Bureau’s
field representatives are instructed to exclude working supervisors; apprentices; and
part-time, temporary, and probationary workers. Handicapped workers whose earnings
are reduced because of their handicap are also excluded. Learners, beginners, and
trainees, unless specifically included in the job description, are excluded.
Listed below are several occupations for which revised descriptions or titles are
being introduced in this survey:
Stenographer
Typist
Accounting clerk
Drafter
Stationary engineer
Boiler tender
The Bureau has discontinued collecting data for tabulating-machine operator,
bookkeeping-machine operator, and machine biller.
a.
Positions which do not meet the “personal” secretary concept described
above;
b.
Stenographers not fully trained in secretarial-type duties;
c.
Stenographers serving as office assistants tp a group of professional,
technical, or managerial persons;
d.
Assistant-type positions which entail more difficult or more responsible
technical, administrative, or supervisory duties which are not typical of
secretarial work, e.g., Administrative Assistant, or Executive Assistant;
e-
Positions which do not fit any of the situations listed in the sections below
titled “Level of Supervisor,” e.g., secretary to the president of a company
that employs, in all, over 5,000 persons;
f.
Trainees.
Classification by level. Secretary jobs which meet the required characteristics are
matched at one of five levels according to (a) the level of the secretary’s supervisor
within the company’s organizational structure and, (b) the level of the secretary’s
responsibility. The tabulation following the explanations of these two factors indicates
the level of the secretary for each combination of the factors.
Office
SECRETARY
Level ofSecretary’s Supervisor (LS)
Assigned as a personal secretary, normally to one individual. Maintains a close and
highly responsive relationship to the day-to-day activities of the supervisor. Works
fairly independently receiving a minimum of detailed supervision and guidance.
Performs varied clerical and secretarial duties requiring a knowledge of office routine
and understanding of the organization, programs, and procedures related to the work of
the supervisor.
LS-1
Secretary to the supervisor or head of a small organizational unit (e.g.,
fewer than about 25 or 30 persons); or
Secretary to a nonsupervisory staff specialist, professional employee,
administrative officer or assistant, skilled technician or expert. (NOTE:
Many companies assign stenographers, rather than secretaries as described
above, to this level of supervisory or nonsupervisory worker.)
Exclusions. Not all positions that are titled “secretary” possess the above characteristics.
Examples of positions which are excluded from the definition are as follows:
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
43
Level ofSecretary’s Responsibility (LR)
LS-2
a.
b.
Secretary to an executive or managerial person whose responsibility is not
equivalent to one of the specific level situations in the definition for LS-3,
but whose organizational unit normally numbers at least several dozen
employees and is usually divided into organizational segments which are
often, in turn, further subdivided. In some companies, this level includes a
wide range of organizational echelons; in others, only one or two; or
Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other
equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, fewer than 5,000 persons.
LS-3
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that
employs, in all, fewer than 100 persons; or
Secretary to a corporate officer (other than chairman of the board or
president) of a company that employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5,000
persons; or
Secretary to the head (immediately below the officer level) over either a
major corporatewide functional activity (e.g., marketing, research, oper
ations, industrial relations, etc.) or a major geographic or organizational
segment (e.g., a regional headquarters; a major division) of a company that
employs, in all, over 5,000 but fewer than 25,000 employees; or
Secretary to the head of an individual plant, factory, etc., (or other
equivalent level of official) that employs, in all, over 5,000 persons; or
Secretary to the head of a large and important organizational segment
(e.g., a middle management supervisor of an organizational segment often
involving as many as several hundred persons) of a company that employs,
in all, over 25,000 persons.
This factor evaluates the nature of the work relationship between the secretary and
the supervisor, and the extent to which the secretary is expected to exercise initiative
and judgment. Secretaries should be matched at LR-1 or LR-2 described below
according to their level of responsibility.
LR-1
Performs varied secretarial duties including or comparable to most of the
following:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
LR-2
Performs duties described under LR-1 and, in addition performs tasks requiring
greater judgment, initiative, and knowledge of office functions including or compara
ble to most of the following:
a.
b.
LS-4
a.
b.
c.
Secretary to the chairman of the board or president of a company that
employs, in all, over 100 but fewer than 5,000 persons; or
Secretary to a corporate officer (other than the chairman of the board or
president) of a company that employs, in all, over 5,000 but fewer than
25,000 persons; or
Secretary to the head, immediately below the corporate officer level, of a
major segment or subsidiary of a company that employs, in all, over 25,000
persons.
NOTE: The term “corporate officer” used in the above LS definition refers to those
officials who have a significant corporatewide policymaking role with regard to major
company activities. The title “vice president,” though normally indicative of this role,
does not in all cases identify such positions. Vice presidents whose primary responsibili
ty is to act personally on individual cases or transactions (e.g., approve or deny
individual loan or credit actions; administer individual trust accounts; directly supervise
a clerical staff) are not considered to be "corporate officers” for purposes of applying
the definition.

STENOGRAPHER
c.
Primary duty is to take dictation using shorthand, and to transcribe the dictation. May
also type from written copy. May operate from a stenographic pool. May occasionally
transcribe from voice recordings. (If primary duty is transcribing from recordings, see
Transcribing-machine typist.)
NOTE: This job is distinguished from that of a secretary in that a secretary normally
works as the principal office assistant performing more responsible and discretionary
tasks.
Stenographer I.
Takes and transcribes dictation under close supervision and detailed instructions.
May maintain files, keep simple records, or perform other relatively routine clerical
tasks.
Stenographer II.
Takes and transcribes dictation determining the most appropriate format. Performs
stenographic duties requiring significantly greater independence and responsibility than
Stenographer I. Supervisor typically provides general instructions. Work requires a
thorough working knowledge of general business and office procedures and of the
specific business operations, organizations, policies, procedures, files, workflow, etc.
Uses this knowledge in performing stenographic duties and responsible clerical tasks
such as maintaining follow up files; assembling material for reports, memoranda, and
letters; composing simple letters from general instructions; reading and routing
incoming mail; answering routine questions, etc.
TRANSCRIBING-MACHINE TYPIST
Primary duty is to type copy of voice recorded dictation which does not involve
varied technical or specialized vocabulary such as that used in legal briefs or reports on
scientific research. May also type from written copy. May maintain files, keep simple
records, or perform other relatively routine clerical tasks. (See Stenographer definition
for workers involved with shorthand dictation.)
TYPIST
Uses a manual, electric, or automatic typewriter to type various materials. Included
are automatic typewriters that are used only to record text and update and reproduce
previously typed items from magnetic cards or tape. May include typing of stencils,
mats, or similar materials for use in duplicating processes. May do clerical work
involving little special training, such as keeping simple records, filing records and
reports, or sorting and distributing incoming mail.
Excluded from this definition is work that involves:
Familiarity with specialized terminology in various keyboard commands to
manipulate or edit the recorded text to accomplish revisions, or to perform
tasks such as extracting and listing items from the text, or transmitting text
to other terminals, or using “sort” commands to have the machine reorder
material. Typically requires the use of automatic equipment which may be
either computer linked or have a programmable memory so that material
can be organized in regularly used formats or preformed paragraphs which
can then be coded and stored for future use in letters or documents.
Typist I
Performs one or more of the following: Copy typing from rough or clear drafts; or
routine typing of forms, insurance policies, etc.; or setting up simple standard
tabulations; or copying more complex tables already set up and spaced properly.
Typist II
Performs one or more of the following: Typing material in final form when it involves
combining material from several sources; or responsibility for correct spelling,
syllabication, punctuation, etc., of technical or unusual words or foreign language
material; or planning layout and typing of complicated statistical tables to maintain
uniformity and balance in spacing. May type routine form letters, varying details to suit
circumstances.
FILE CLERK
Files, classifies, and retrieves material in an established filing system. May perform
clerical and manual tasks required to maintain files. Positions are classified into levels on
the basis of the following definitions:
File Clerk I
Performs routine filing of material that has already been classified or which is easily
classified in a simple serial classification system (e.g., alphabetical, chronological, or
numerical). As requested, locates readily available material in files and forwards
material; and may fill out withdrawal charge. May perform simple clerical and manual
tasks required to maintain and service files.
File Clerk II
Sorts, codes, and files unclassified material by simple (subject matter) headings or
partly classified material by finer subheadings. Prepares simple related index and cross
reference aids. As requested, locates clearly identified material in files and forwards
material. May perform related clerical tasks required to maintain and service files.
File Clerk III
Classifies and indexes file material such as correspondence, reports, technical
documents, etc., in an established filing system containing a number of varied subject
matter files. May also file this material. May keep records of various types in
conjunction with the files. May lead a small group of lower level file clerks.
MESSENGER
b.
Typing directly from spoken material that has been recorded on disks,
cylinders, belts, tapes, or other similar media;
The use of varitype machines, composing equipment, or automatic equip
ment in preparing material for printing; and
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
Performs various routine duties such as running errands, operating minor office
machines such as sealers or mailers, opening and distributing mail, and other minor
clerical work. Exclude positions that require operation of a motor vehicle as a
significant duty.
distribution codes; examining and verifying the clerical accuracy of various types of
reports, lists, calculations, postings, etc.; preparing journal vouchers; or making entries
or adjustments to accounts.
Levels I and II require a basic knowledge of routine clerical methods and office
practices and procedures as they relate to the clerical processing and recording of
transactions and accounting information. Levels III and IV require a knowledge and
understanding of the established and standardized bookkeeping and accounting proce
dures and techniques used in an accounting system, or a segment of an accounting
system, where there are few variations in the types of transactions handled. In addition,
some jobs at each level may require a basic knowledge and understanding of the
terminology, codes, and processes used in an automated accounting system.
SWITCHBOARD OPERATOR
Operates a telephone switchboard or console used with a private branch exchange
(PBX) system to relay incoming, outgoing, and intrasystem calls. May provide
information to callers, record and transmit messages, keep record of calls placed and
toll charges. Besides operating a telephone switchboard or console, may also type or
perform routine clerical work (typing or routine clerical work may occupy the major
portion of the worker’s time, and is usually performed while at the switchboard or
console). Chief or lead operators in establishments employing more than one operator
are excluded. For an operator who also acts as a receptionist, see Switchboard operatorreceptionist.
SWITCHBOARD OPERATOR-RECEPTIONIST
At a single-position telephone switchboard or console, acts both as an operator—see
Switchboard operator—and as a receptionist. Receptionist’s work involves such duties
as greeting visitors; determining nature of visitor’s business and providing appropriate
information; referring visitor to appropriate person in the organization or contacting
that person by telephone and arranging an appointment; keeping a log of visitors.
Accounting Clerk I
Performs very simple and routine accounting clerical operations, for example,
recognizing and comparing easily identified numbers and codes on similar and
repetitive accounting documents, verifying mathematical accuracy, and identifying
