It y ie ld s detailed data by selected industry

A cu rren t re p o rt on occupational earnings and supplem en­
ta ry w age p ro v is io n s in the Pittsb u rgh a rea is a ls o a vailab le

and h e lp e rs ; and g r o c e r y s to re em p lo yees.

In tro d u c tio n
This a rea is 1 of 90 in which the U.S. Department of L a b o r 's
Bureau of L a b o r Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings
and related benefits on an areaw id e b a s is . 1

the A - s e r i e s tables, because either ( l ) em ployment in the occupation is
too s m all to p ro vid e enough data to m e r it presentation, o r (2) there is
p o s s ib ility of d isclosu re of individual establishment data. Earnings
data not shown sep arately fo r industry divisions are included in the
o v e r a ll cla s s ific a tio n when a subcla ssification of s e c r e ta r ie s or truckd r iv e r s is not shown or inform atio n to subclassify is not available.

This bulletin presents current occupational employment and
earnings information obtained l a r g e l y by m a il fr o m the establishments
vis ite d by Bureau fie ld economists in the last previous survey for
occupations reported in that e a r l i e r study. P e r s o n a l visits w e r e made
to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes
since the previous survey.

Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for
fu ll-tim e w o r k e r s , i.e ., those h ired to w ork a regular w e e k ly schedule.
Earnings data exclude prem iu m pay fo r o v e rtim e and fo r work on
weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are e x ­
cluded, but c o s t - o f- liv in g allowances and incentive earnings are in­
cluded.
W here w e e k ly hours are reported, as fo r o ffice c le r ic a l
occupations, r e fe r e n c e is to the standard workw eek (rounded to the
n earest half hour) fo r which em ployees r e c e iv e their regular straighttim e s a la ries (exclu sive of pay for o v e r tim e at regular and/or p r e ­
mium rates).
A v e r a g e w e e k ly earnings for these occupations have
been rounded to the nearest half dollar.

In each area, data are obtained fr o m rep resen tative estab­
lishments within six broad industry divis io ns: Manufacturing; tr a n s ­
portation, communication, and other public utilities; w holesale trade;
r e ta il trade; finance, insurance, and r e a l estate; and s e r v ic e s . M a jo r
industry groups excluded fr o m these studies are governm ent o p e r a ­
tions and the construction and e x tra ctive industries. Establishments
having fe w e r than a p r e s c r ib e d number of w o r k e r s are om itted because
they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied
to warrant inclusion.
Separate tabulations a re provided for each of
the broad industry divisions which m e e t publication c r ite r ia .

T h e s e surveys m easu re the l e v e l of occupational earnings in
an area at a p articu lar time. Com paris ons of individual occupational
a vera ges o v e r tim e m ay not r e f l e c t expected wage changes.
The
a v e ra g e s fo r individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and
employment patterns. F o r example, proportions of w o r k e r s em ployed
by high- or lo w -w a g e f ir m s m a y change o r high-wage w o rk e rs may
advance to better jobs and be repla ced by new w o rk e rs at lo w e r rates.
Such shifts in employment could d e c re a s e an occupational average even
though m ost establishments in an a rea in crea se 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 involv ed in surveying a ll establishments.
To
obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a g r e a te r proportion of
la rg e than of s m all establishments is studied. In combining the data,
how ever, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s ­
tim ates based on the establishments studied a re presented, th e re fo re ,
as relating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area,
except fo r those below the minimum size studied.
Occupations and Earnings
The occupations selected fo r study are common to a v a r ie t y
of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and a re of the
followin g types: ( l ) O ffic e c l e r i c a l ; (2) p rofe s s io n a l and technical;
(3) maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m a t e r ia l m o v e ­
ment. Occupational c la ssifica tio n is based on a uniform set of job
descrip tions designed to take account of interestablishm ent variation
in duties within the same job.
The occupations sele cted fo r study
a re listed and describ ed in the appendix. Unless otherwise indicated,
the earnings data follo w ing the job titles a re fo r all industries c o m ­
bined. Earnings data fo r some of the occupations listed and d escribed,
o r fo r some industry divisions within occupations, are not presented in

Included in the 90 areas are four studies conducted under contract with the New York State
Department of Labor. These areas are Binghamton (N ew York portion only) Rochester (office occupa­
tions only); Syracuse; and U tica-R om e. In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in
65 areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U .S . Department of Labor.

individual establishments.
Other possib le fa ctors which may con­

in p r o g r e s s io n within established rate ranges, since only the actual
rates paid incumbents are collected; and d ifferen ces in s p ecific duties

Occupational em ploym ent estim ates r ep resen t the total in all
establishments within the scope o f the study and not the number actu­
ally surveyed. Because of d iffe re n c e s in occupational structure among
establishments, the estimates o f occupational employment obtained from
the sample of establishments studied s e r v e only to indicate the relative
im portance o f the jobs studied.
T h ese d iffe re n c e s in occupational

W a g e T re n d s fo r S e le c te d O c c u p a tio n a l G ro u p s
P r e s e n t e d in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change
in a vera g e s a la r ie s of o ffice c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s and industrial nurses,
and in a v e ra g e earnings of selected plantworker groups. The indexes
are a m easu re of wages at a given tim e, exp re s s e d as a percent of
wages during the base period. Subtracting 100 fr o m the index yields
the p ercentage change in wages fr o m the base period to the date of
the index.
The percentages of change or in crea se relate to wage
changes between the indicated dates. Annual rates of in c re a s e , where
shown, r e fle c t the amount of in c re a s e fo r 12 months when the tim e
p erio d between surveys was other than 12 months. T h ese computations

shows the p ercentage change. The index is the product of multiplying
the base y e a r r e la tiv e (100) by the r e la tiv e fo r the next succeeding
y e a r and continuing to multiply (compound) each y e a r 's re la tiv e by the
previous y e a r 's index.
F o r o ffic e c l e r i c a l w o r k e r s and industrial nurses, the wage
trends relate to regu la r w eek ly s a la ries fo r the norm al workweek,
exclusive of earnings fo r o v e r tim e .
F o r plantw orker groups, they
m easure changes in a v e ra g e s tra ig h t-tim e hourly earnings, excluding
prem iu m pay fo r o v e r tim e and for w o rk on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts. The percentages are based on data fo r selected key o c c u ­
pations and include m ost of the n u m e ric a lly im portant jobs within
each group.
Lim itations of Data

Method of Computing
The indexes and p ercentages of 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 r a l sa la ry and
wage changes, (2) m e r it o r other in c re a s e s in pay r e c e iv e d by indi­
vidual w o r k e r s while in the same job, and (3) changes in a v e ra g e
wages due to changes in the labor fo r c e resultin g fr o 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 le v e ls .
Changes in the labor f o r c e can cause in c re a s e s o r d e c re a s e s in the
occupational a v e ra g e s without actual wage changes. It is conceivable
that even though all establishments in an a re a gave wage in creases,
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 rea o r expanded their w o rk fo r c e s .
S im ila r ly , wages
m ay have rem ained r e la t iv e ly constant, yet the a v e r a g e s for an area
m ay have risen con siderably because high er-p ayin g establishments
entered the area.

Each of the follo w 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 inates the effect
of changes in the p roportion of w o r k e r s r e p resen ted in each job in ­
cluded in the data.
