Scope and Method of Survey In each o f the 75 1 areas currently surveyed, the Bureau obtains w ages and rela ted benefits data fro m represen tative establishm ents within six broad industry division s: Manufacturing; transportation, communication, and other public u tilitie s ; w h olesale trade; re ta il trade; finance, insurance, and re a l estate; and s e r v ic e s . Government operations and the construction and ex tra c tiv e industries are excluded. Establishments having fe w e r than a p re s c rib e d num ber o f w o rk e rs are also excluded because o f insufficient em ploym ent in the occupations studied. Appendix table 1 shows the number o f establishm ents and w o rk e rs estim ated to be within the scope of this su rvey, as w e ll as the num ber actually studied. Bureau fie ld rep resen ta tives obtain data by personal v is its at 3 -y e a r in te rv a ls . In each o f the two intervening y e a rs , inform ation on em ploym ent and occupational earnings only is collected by a combination of personal v is it, m a il qu estion n aire, and telephone in terview fro m establishm ents p articip atin g in the p reviou s survey. A sam ple o f the establishm ents in the scope o f the survey is selected fo r study p r io r to each personal v is it survey. This sam ple, less establishm ents which go out o f business o r are no lon ger within the industrial scope o f the su rvey, is retained fo r the follow ing two annual su rveys. In m ost cases, establishm ents new to the area are not considered in the scope o f the su rvey until the selection of a sample fo r a p erson al v is it survey. The sam pling procedu res in volve detailed stra tifica tion o f all establishm ents within the scope o f an individual area su rvey by industry and num ber of em p lo yees. F ro m this s tra tified u niverse a p robability sam ple is sele c te d , with each establishm ent having a p red eterm in ed chance o f selection . T o obtain optim um accuracy at m inimum cost, a g re a te r p rop ortion o f la rg e than sm a ll establishm ents is selected. When data are com bined, each establishm ent is weighted according to its probab ility of selectio n so that unbiased estim ates are generated. F o r exam ple, i f one out o f fou r establishm ents is selected , it is given a weight o f 4 to represen t it s e lf plus th ree oth ers. An alternate of the same o rig in a l prob ab ility is chosen in the sam e in d u s try -s ize cla ssifica tion if data are not available fro m the o rig in a l sam ple m em b er. If no suitable substitute is available, additional w eight is assigned to a sample m em ber that is s im ila r to the m issin g unit. 1 In clu d ed in th e 75 areas a re 5 studies conducted by th e Bureau under c o n tract.

D ep artm en t of Labor. Occupations and earnings Occupations selected fo r study are common to a v a rie ty of manufac turing and nonmanufacturing in du stries, and are of the follow ing types: ( 1) O ffice c le r ic a l; (2) p ro fessio n a l and technical; (3) maintenance, toolroom , and powerplant; and (4) m a te ria l m ovem ent and custodial. Occupational c la ssifica tio n is based on a uniform set o f job descriptions designed to take account o f interestablishm ent variation in duties within the same job. Occupations selected fo r study are listed and described in appendix B. Unless oth erw ise indicated, the earnings data follow in g the job titles are fo r all industries combined. Earnings data fo r some o f the occupations listed and describ ed , or fo r some industry divisions within the scope of the su rvey, are not presented in the A - s e r ie s tables because eith er (1) em ploy ment in the occupation is too sm all to p rovide enough data to m erit p resen tation, o r ( 2) th ere is p o ssib ility of d isclosu re o f individual establishm ent data. Separate m en's and w om en's earnings data are not presented when the number o f w ork ers not iden tified by sex is 20 percent o r m ore of the men o r women iden tified in an occupation. Earnings data not shown separately fo r industry divisions are included in data fo r all industries combined. L ik e w is e , fo r occupations with m o re than one le v e l, data are included in the o v e r a ll cla ssifica tio n when a su bclassification is not shown or inform ation to su bclassify is not available. Occupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown fo r fu ll-tim e w o rk e rs , i.e ., those h ired to w ork a regu lar w eekly schedule. Earnings data exclude prem ium pay fo r o vertim e and fo r w ork on weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t-o f-liv in g allow ances and incentive bonuses are included. W eekly hours fo r office c le r ic a l and p ro fessio n a l and tech n ical occupations r e fe r to the standard w orkw eek (rounded to the n earest half hour) fo r which em ployees receive regu la r stra igh t-tim e s a la rie s (exclu sive of pay fo r overtim e at regu lar and/or p rem iu m ra tes). A v e ra g e w eekly earnings fo r these occupations are rounded to the n earest half d ollar. V e rtic a l lines within the distribution o f w o rk ers on some A -ta b les indicate a change in the size of the class in te r v a ls . These su rveys m easure the le v e l of occupational earnings in an area at a p a rticu la r tim e. Com parisons o f individual occupational averages o v e r tim e m ay not r e fle c t expected w age changes. The averages fo r individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and em ploym ent patterns. F o r example, proportions of w o rk ers em ployed by high- o r low -w age firm s may change, o r high-w age w o rk ers m ay advance to b etter jobs and be replaced by new w o rk ers at lo w e r rates. Such shifts in em ploym ent could decrease an are occupational average even though m ost establishm ents in an area increase wages during the y e a r. Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table A - 7, are b etter in dicators o f wage trends than are earnings changes fo r individual jobs within the groups. A v e ra g e earnings re fle c t com posite, areaw ide estim a tes. Industries and establishm ents d iffe r in pay le v e l and job staffin g, and thus contribute d ifferen tly to the estim ates fo r each job. P a y a vera ges m ay fa il to re fle c t accu rately the w age d iffe re n tia l among jobs in individual establishm ents. A v e ra g e pay le v e ls fo r m en and w om en in selected occupations should not be assum ed to r e fle c t d iffe re n c e s in pay o f the sexes within individual establishm ents. F a cto rs which m ay contribute to d ifferen ces include p ro g re s s io n within established rate ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are co lle c te d ) and p erfo rm a n ce of s p e c ific duties within the gen eral su rvey job d escrip tion s. Job description s used to c la s s ify em ployees in these surveys usually are m o re g e n e ra lize d than those used in individual establishm ents and allow fo r m in or d iffe re n c e s among establishm ents in sp ecific duties p erfo rm e d . Occupational em ploym ent estim ates rep resen t the total in a ll esta b lishm ents within the scope o f the study and not the num ber actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establishm ents d iffe r , estim ates o f occupational em ploym ent obtained fr o m the sam ple o f establishm ents studied s e rve only to indicate the re la tiv e im portance o f the jobs studied. Th ese d ifferen ces in occupational structure do not a ffect m a te ria lly the accu racy o f the earnings data.

Each occupation is assign ed a w eight based on its proportionate em ploym ent in the occupational group in the base yea r. 3. These weights are used to compute group a v e ra g e s .

H osp italization , su rgica l, and m ed ica l insurance plans rep orted in these surveys provid e fu ll o r p a rtia l payment fo r basic s e rv ic e s rendered. H ospitalization insurance co vers hospital room and board and m ay co v e r other hospital expenses. S u rgical insurance co vers su rgeon s' fe e s .
