Preface
This bulletin provides results of a January 1981 survey of occupational
earnings in the Newark, New Jersey, 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. This report has no B-series tables.
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-l provides indexes and percent changes in average hourly earnings
for office clerical workers, electronic data processing workers, industrial
nurses, skilled maintenance trades workers, and unskilled plant workers.
Where possible, data are presented f6r 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.
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
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.
3 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.
3 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.
s 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.
6 Data do not meet publication criteria or data not available.

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
Industrial nurses
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.

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.
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 effects 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:
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 resultexpressed 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

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.
Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
(B-series tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Information for these tabulations is
collected at 3-year intervals. These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for
inexperienced office workers; shift differentials; scheduled weekly hours and days; paid
holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the
B-series tables) in previous bulletins for this area.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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;

b.
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,

Level ofSecretary’s Responsibility(LR)
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.

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 policy-making 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.

Professional and Technical
COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANALYST, BUSINESS
Analyzes business problems to formulate procedures for solving them by use of
electronic data processing equipment. Develops a complete description of all specifica
tions needed to enable programmers to prepare required digital computer programs.
Work involves most of the following-. Analyzes subject-matter operations to be
automated and identifies conditions and criteria required to achieve satisfactory results;
specifies number and types of records, files, and documents to be used; outlines actions
to be performed by personnel and computers in sufficient detail for presentation to
management and for programming (typically this involves preparation of work and
data flow charts); coordinates the development of test problems and participates in trial
runs of new and revised systems; and recommends equipment changes to obtain more
effective overall operations. (NOTE: Workers performing both systems analysis and
programming should be classified as systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine
their pay.)
Does not include employees primarily responsible for the management or supervision
of other electronic data processing employees, or systems analysts primarily concerned
with scientific or engineering problems.
For wage study purposes, systems analysts are classified as follows:
https://fraser.stlouisfed.org
Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
Computer Systems Analyst I
Works under immediate supervision, carrying out analyses as assigned, usually of a
single activity. Assignments are designed to develop and expand practical experience in
the application of procedures and skills required for systems analysis work. For
example, may assist a higher level systems analyst by preparing the detailed specifica
tions required by programmers from information developed by the higher level analyst.
Computer Systems Analyst II
Works independently or under only general direction on problems that are relatively
uncomplicated to analyze, plan, program, and operate. Problems are of limited
complexity because sources of input data are homogeneous and the output data are
closely related. (For example, develops systems for maintaining depositor accounts in a
bank, maintaining accounts receivable in a retail establishment, or maintaining invento
ry accounts in a manufacturing or wholesale establishment.) Confers with persons
concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises subject-matter
personnel on the implications of the data processing systems to be applied. OR
Works on a segment of a complex data processing scheme or system, as described for
level III. Works independently on routine assignments and receives instruction and
guidance on complex assignments. Work is reviewed for accuracy of judgment,
compliance with instructions, and to insure proper alignment with the overall system.
Computer Systems Analyst III
Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems involv
ing all phases of systems analysis. Problems are complex because of diverse sources of
input data and multiple-use requirements of output data. (For example, develops an
integrated production scheduling, inventory control, cost analysis, and sales analysis
record in which every item of each type is automatically processed through the full
system of records and appropriate follow-up actions are initiated by the computer.)
Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing problems and advises
subject-matter personnel on the implications of new or revised systems of data
processing operations. Makes recommendations, if needed, for approval of major
systems installations or changes and for obtaining equipment.
May provide functional direction to lower level systems analysts who are assigned to
assist.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMER, BUSINESS
Converts statements of business problems, typically prepared by a systems analyst,
into a sequence of detailed instructions which are required to solve the problems by
automatic data processing equipment. Working from charts or diagrams, the program
mer develops the precise instructions which, when entered into the computer system in
coded language, cause the manipulation of data to achieve desired results. Work
involves most of the following-. Applies knowledge of computer capabilities, mathemat
ics, logic employed by computers, and particular subject matter involved to analyze
charts and diagrams of the problem to be programmed; develops sequence of program
steps; writes detailed flow charts to show order in which data will be processed;
converts these charts to coded instructions for machine to follow; tests and corrects
programs; prepares instructions for operating personnel during production run;
analyzes, reviews, and alters programs to increase operating efficiency or adapt to new
requirements; maintains records of program development and revisions. (NOTE:
Workers performing both systems analysis and programming should be classified as
systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)
Does not include employees primarily responsible for the management or supervision
of other electronic data processing employees, or programmers primarily concerned
with scientific and/or engineering problems.
For wage study purposes, programmers are classified as follows:
(processes one program at a time) or multiprocessing (processes two or more programs
simultaneously). The following duties characterize the work of a computer operator:
3'
bc.
def-
Computer Programmer I
Makes practical applications of programming practices and concepts usually learned
in formal training courses. Assignments are designed to develop competence in the
application of standard procedures to routine problems. Receives close supervision on
new aspects of assignments; and work is reviewed to verify its accuracy and
conformance with required procedures.
g'
May test-run new or modified programs. May assist in modifying systems or
programs. The scope of this definition includes trainees working to become fully
qualified computer operators, fully qualified computer operators, and lead operators
providing technical assistance to lower level operators. It excludes workers who
monitor and operate remote terminals.
For wage study purposes, computer operators are classified as follows:
Computer Programmer II
Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple programs,
or on simple segments of complex programs. Programs (or segments) usually process
information to produce data in two or three varied sequences or formats. Reports and
listings are produced by refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor additions to or
deletions from input data which are readily available. While numerous records may be
processed, the data have been refined in prior actions so that the accuracy and
sequencing of data can be tested by using a few routine checks. Typically, the program
deals with routine recordkeeping operations. OR
Works on complex programs (as described for level III) under close direction of a
higher level programmer or supervisor. May assist higher level programmer by
independently performing less difficult tasks assigned, and performing more difficult
tasks under fairly close direction.
May guide or instruct lower level programmers.
Computer Operator I
Work assignments are limited to established production runs (i.e., programs which
present few operating problems). Assignments may consist primarily of on-the-job
training (sometimes augmented by classroom instruction). When learning to run
programs, the supervisor or a higher level operator provides detailed written or oral
guidance to the operator before and during the run. After the operator has gained
experience with a program, however, the operator works fairly independently in
applying standard operating or corrective procedures in responding to computer
output instructions or error conditions, but refers problems to a higher level operator or
the supervisor when standard procedures fail.
Computer Programmer III
Computer Operator II
Works independently or under only general direction on complex problems which
require competence in all phases of programming concepts and practices. Working
from diagrams and charts which identify the nature of desired results, major processing
steps to be accomplished, and the relationships between various steps of the problem
solving routine; plans the full range of programming actions needed to efficiently utilize
the computer system in achieving desired end products.
At this level, programming is difficult because computer equipment must be
organized to produce several interrelated but diverse products from numerous and
diverse data elements. A wide variety and extensive number of internal processing
actions must occur. This requires such actions as development of common operations
which can be reused, establishment of linkage points between operations, adjustments
to data when program requirements exceed computer storage capacity, and substantial
manipulation and resequencing of data elements to form a highly integrated program.
May provide functional direction to lower level programmers who are assigned to
assist.
In addition to established production runs, work assignments include runs involving
new programs, applications, and procedures (i.e., situations which require the operator
to adapt to a variety of problems). At this level, the operator has the training and
experience to work fairly independently in carrying out most assignments. Assignments
may require the operator to select from a variety of standard setup and operating
procedures. In responding to computer output instructions or error conditions, applies
standard operating or corrective procedures, but may deviate from standard proce
dures when standard procedures fail if deviation does not materially alter the computer
unit’s production plans. Refers the problem or aborts the program when procedures
applied do not provide a solution. May guide lower level operators.
Computer Operator III
In addition to work assignments described for Computer operator II (see above) the
work of Computer operator III involves at least one of the following:
a-

An operator at this level typically guides lower level operators.
PERIPHERAL EQUIPMENT OPERATOR
Positions are classified into levels on the basis of the following definitions.
