Preface
The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual occupa­
tional wage surveys in metropolitan areas is designed to provide data
on occupational earnings, and establishment practices and supplemen­
tary wage provisions.
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 occupa­
tional category and skill level, and (2) the structure and level of
wages among areas and industry divisions.
At the end of each survey, an individual area bulletin pre­
sents the results.
After completion of all 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 indi­
vidual metropolitan area data to relate to geographic regions and the
United States.
Ninety-four areas currently are included in the program.
In
each area, information on occupational earnings is collected annually
and on establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
biennially.
This bulletin presents results of the survey in Newark and
Jersey City, N.J. , in January 1972.
The Standard Metropolitan
Statistical Areas, as defined by the Office of Management and Budget
(formerly the Bureau of the Budget) through January 1968, consist
of Essex, Hudson, Morris, and Union Counties.
This study was
conducted by the Bureau's regional office in New York, N.Y., under
the general direction of Alvin I. Margulis , Assistant Regional Director
for Operations.

Similar reports are available for other areas.

(See inside

Current reports on occupational earnings and supplemen­
tary wage provisions in the Newark and Jersey City areas are
also available for nonferrous foundries (June 1970); women's
coats and suits (August 1970); machinery (November 1970); and
paints and varnishes (November 1970). Union wage rates, in­
dicative of prevailing pay levels in the Newark area, are availa­
ble for building construction; printing; local-transit operating
employees; local truckdrivers and helpers; and grocery store
employees.

In tro d u c tio n
This area is 1 of 94 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.1 In this area, data were ob­
tained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to reoresentative
establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing;
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. Establish­
ments 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 publication criteria.

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 ex­
cluded, but cost-of-living allowances and incentive earnings are in­
cluded.2 Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occu­
pations, reference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest
half hour) for which employees receive their regular straight-time
salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime at regular and/or premium
rates).
Average weekly earnings for these occupations have been
rounded to the nearest half dollar.
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. Esti­
mates 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 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.

The 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 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. Unless otherwise indicated,
the earnings data following the job titles are for all industries com­
bined. Earnings data for some of the occupations listed and described,
or for some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented
in the A-series tables, because either (1) employment in the occupa­
tion 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 sec­
retaries or truckdrivers is not shown or information to subclassify
is not available.

Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all
establishments within the scope of the study and not the number actu­

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 officeworkers.
Data for industry divisions not
presented separately are included in the estimates for "all industries."
Administrative, executive, and professional employees, and construc­
tion workers who are utilized as a separate work force are excluded.
"Plantworkers" include working foremen and all nonsupervisory work­
ers (including leadmen and trainees) engaged in nonoffice functions.
"Officeworkers" include w orking supervisors and nonsupervisory
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 officeworkers (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 plantworkers
in manufacturing industries.
This information is presented both in
terms of (1) establishment policy,3 presented in terms of total plantworker 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 and days (table B-3) of a ma­
jority of the first-shift workers in an establishment are tabulated as
applying to all of the plant- or officeworkers of that establishment.
Scheduled weekly hours and days 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 pen­
sion plans (tables B-4 through B-6) are treated statistically on the
basis that these are applicable to all plant- or officeworkers if 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 ordi­
narily granted are included even though they may fall on a nonworkday
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 officeworkers 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 ex­
clude vacation bonus and vacation-savings plans and 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 re­
quired plans, such as workmen's compensation, social security, and
railroad retirement were excluded.
Sickness and accident insurance is limited to that type of in­
surance under which predetermined cash payments are made directly
to the insured during temporary illness or accident disability. Infor­
mation is presented for all such plans to which the employer contrib­
utes.
However, in New York and New Jersey, which have enacted
temporary disability insurance laws which require employer contribu­
tions,4 plans are included only if the employer (1) contributes more
than is legally required, or (2) provides the employee with benefits
which exceed the requirements of the law.
Tabulations of paid sick

3
An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the following condi­
tions: (1 ) Operated late shifts at the time of the survey, or (2) had formal provisions covering late
4
shifts. An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1 ) had operated late shifts
contributions.
during the 12 months prior to the survey, or (2 ) had provisions in written form for operating late shifts.




The temporary disability laws in California

and

Rhode Island do not require employer

3
leave plans are limited to formal plans 5 which provide full pay or a
proportion of the worker's pay during absence from work because of
illness.
Separate tabulations are presented according to (1) plans
which provide full pay and no waiting period, and (2) plans which pro­
vide either partial pay or a waiting period. In addition to the presen­
tation of the proportions of workers who are provided sickness and
accident insurance or paid sick leave, an unduplicated total is shown
of workers who receive either or both types of benefits.
Long-term disability plans provide payments to totally dis­
abled 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.
Payments may be at full or partial pay but are almost always re­
duced by social security, workmen's compensation, and private pension
benefits payable to the disabled employee.
Major medical insurance includes those plans which are de­
signed to protect employees in case of sickness and injury involving
expenses beyond the coverage of basic hospitalization, medical, and
surgical plans. Medical insurance refers to plans providing for com­
plete or partial payment of doctors' fees.
Dental insurance usually
covers fillings, extractions, and X-rays.
Excluded are plans which
cover only oral surgery or accident damage. Plans may be under­
written by commerical insurance companies or nonprofit organizations
or they may be paid for by the employer out of a fund set aside for
this purpose. Tabulations of retirement pension plans are limited to
those plans that provide regular payments for the remainder of the
worker's life.

p erio d between surveys was other than 12 months. T h ese computations
w e r e based on the assumption that wages in crea sed at a constant rate
between surveys. T h e s e estim ates are m ea su res of change in a v e r ­
ages fo r the a re a ; they are not intended to m ea su re a v e ra g e pay
changes in the establishments in the area.

F o r o ffic e c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s and in dustrial nurses, the wage
trends relate to r e g u la r w e e k ly sa la rie s fo r the n orm a l workweek,
e x clu sive o f earnings fo r o v e r tim e .
F o r plantw orker groups, they
m ea su re changes in a v e r a g e s tra ig h t-tim e hourly earnings, excluding
p rem iu m pay fo r o v e r t im e and fo r w ork on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts. The p ercen ta ges are based on data f o r selected key oc c u ­
pations and include m ost of the n u m e ric a lly important jobs within
each group.
L im ita tio n s of Data

Method of Computing
The indexes and percentages o f change, as m easu res of
change in a rea a v e r a g e s , are influenced by;
(1) g e n e ra l sa la ry and
wage changes, (2) m e r i t or other in c re a s e s in pay r e c e iv e d by in d i­
vidual w o r k e r s w hile in the same job, and (3) changes in a vera ge
w ages due to changes in the labor f o r c e resulting fro m labor turn­
o v e r , f o r c e expansions, fo r c e reductions, and changes in the p r o p o r ­
tions of w o r k e r s em ployed by establishments with d ifferen t pay lev e ls .
Changes in the labor f o r c e can cause in c r e a s e s or d e c re a s e s in the
occupational a v e r a g e s without actual wage changes. It is conceivable
that even though a ll establishments in an area gave wage in c re a s e s ,
a v e ra g e wages m ay have declined because lo w e r-p a y in g establishments
entered the a re a o r expanded their w o rk fo r c e s .
S im ila rly , wages
m ay have rem ained r e l a t i v e l y constant, yet the a v e ra g e s fo r an area
m a y have ris e n c o n sid era b ly because hig h er-payin g establishments
entered the area.

Each o f the follow ing key occupations within an occupational
group was assigned a constant weight based on its proportionate e m ­
ployment in the occupational group;

The use of constant em plo ym ent weights elim in ates the effect

cluded in the data.
The percen tages of change r e f l e c t only changes
in a v e ra g e pay fo r stra ig h t-tim e hours.
T h e y are not influenced by
changes in standard w o rk schedules, as such, o r by prem ium pay
fo r o v e r t im e . W h e re n e c e s s a ry , data w e r e adjusted to rem o v e fro m
the indexes and percen tages of change any significant effect caused
by changes in the scope o f the survey.
