AREA WAGE SURVEY
Raleigh, North Carolina, Metropolitan Area,
August 1972
Bulletin 1775-7
U S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
_
Bureau of Labor Statistics
P reface
This bulletin provides results of an August 1972 survey of occupational
earnings in the Raleigh, North Carolina, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area
(Wake County). The survey was made as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics'
annual area wage survey program. The program is designed to yield data for
individual metropolitan areas, as well as national and regional estimates for all
Standard Metropolitan Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii,
(as defined by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget through November 1971).
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 de
velops 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. Department of Labor to make
wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965.
Currently, 96 areas are included in the program. (See list of areas on
inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data are collected an
nually. Information on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits,
collected every second year in the past, is now obtained every third year.
Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been completed,
two summary bulletins are issued.
The first brings together data for each
metropolitan area surveyed. The second summary bulletin presents national and
regional estimates, projected from individual metropolitan area data.
The Raleigh survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in
Atlanta, Ga., under the general direction of Donald M. Cruse, Assistant Regional
Director 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.
Note:
Also available for the Raleigh area are listings of union wage rates for
building trades, printing trades, local-transit operating employees, local truckdrivers and helpers, and grocery store employees. Free copies of these are
available from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover for addresses.)

In tro d u c tio n
This area is 1 of 96 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's
Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings
on an areawide basis annually.1 Field representatives, in personal
visits to establishments in the area, collect employment, earnings,
establishment practices, and related benefits information every third
year. In each of the intervening years, information on employment
and earnings is collected by mail questionnaires from establishments
participating in the previous survey. This bulletin presents the results
of the latter type survey.
(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 combined.
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 occupation
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 secretaries
or truckdrivers is not shown or information to subclassify is not
available.
In each area, data are obtained from representative estab
lishments within six broad industry divisions; Manufacturing; trans
portation, 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 opera
tions and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments
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. Where weekly hours are reported, as for office clerical occu
pations, reference is to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest
half hour) lor 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 are rounded
to the nearest half dollar.
These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The sam
pling 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 proba
bility of selection, so that unbiased estimates are generated. For ex
ample, if one out of four establishments is selected, it is given a
weight of four to represent itself plus three others. An alternate of the
same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size classifi
cation if data are not available for 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.
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;
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 aver
ages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employ
ment patterns. For example, proportions of workers employed by
high- or low-wage firms may change or high-wage workers may ad
vance 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.
1
Included in the 96 areas are 10 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas
are Austin, T e x .; Binghamton, N .Y . (New York portion only); Durham, N. C .; Fort Lauderdale—
Hollywood and West Palm Beach, Fla.; Huntsville, A la .; Lexington, K y.; Poughkeepsie—Kingston—
Newburgh, N .Y .; Rochester, N .Y . (office occupations only); Syracuse, N. Y. ; and Utica—Rome, N .Y .
In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies in approximately 70 areas at the request
of the Employment Standards Administration o f the U. S. Department of Labor.
Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. In
dustries and establishments differ in pay level and job staffing, and
thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay aver
ages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among jobs in
individual establishments.
Occupations and Earnings

Average pay levels for men and women in selected occupa
tions 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, since
only the rates paid incumbents are collected, and performance of spe
cific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job descrip
tions used to classify employees in these surveys usually are more
generalized than those used in individual establishments 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 actu
ally surveyed. Because occupational structures among establishments
differ, estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample
of establishments studied serve only to indicate the relative impor
tance 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
Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supple
mentary wage provisions (B -series tables) are not presented in this
bulletin. Information for these tabulations, collected every 2 years
in the past, is now collected every 3 years. These tabulations on
minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced women officeworkers;
shift differentials; scheduled workweek; paid holidays; paid vacations;
and health, insurance, and pension plans are presented (in the B-series
tables) in previous bulletins for this area.

Presented in table 2 are indexes and percents of change in
average weekly salaries of office clerical workers and industrial
nurses, and in average hourly earnings of selected plantworker groups.
The indexes are a measure of 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 percents of change or increase 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
period between surveys was other than 12 months. These compu
tations are based on the assumption that wages increased at a constant
rate between surveys. These estimates are measures of change in
averages for the area; they are not intended to measure average pay
changes in the establishments in the area.
The index is a measure of wages at a given time and is ex
pressed as a percent of wages in the base year. The base year is
assigned the value of 100 percent. The index is computed by multi
plying the base year relative (100 percent) by the relative- (the percent
change plus 100 percent) for the next succeeding year and then con
tinuing to multiply (compound) each year's relative by the previous
year's index.
For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the wage
trends relate to regular weekly salaries for the normal workweek,
exclusive of earnings for overtime. For plantworker groups, they
measure changes in average straight-time hourly earnings, excluding
premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts. The percents are based on data for selected key occu
pations and include most of the numerically important jobs within
each group.
Method of Computing
Each of the following key occupations within an occupational
group is assigned a constant weight based on its proportionate em
ployment in the occupational group:
O ffic e c le r ic a l (m e n and
w om en ):
Bookke e p in g -m a ch in e
operators, class B
Clerks, accou n tin g, classes
A and B
Clerks, f il e , classes
A , B, and C
Clerks, order
Clerks, payroll
Keypunch operators, classes
A and B
Messengers ( o f f i c e boys or
girls)
O ffic e c le r ic a l (m e n and

Stenographers, general

Sw itchboard operators, classes
A and B
T a b u la tin g -m a ch in e operators,
class B
Typists, classes A and B
Industrial nurses (m e n and
w om en ):
Nurses, industrial (registered)
Limitations of Data
The indexes and percents of change, as measures of change
in area averages, are influenced by: (1) General salary and wage
changes, (2) merit or other increases in pay received by individual
workers while in the same job, and (3) changes in average wages due
to changes in the labor force resulting from labor turnover, force
expansions, force reductions, and changes in the proportions of work
ers employed by establishments with different pay levels. Changes in
the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the occupational
averages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable that even
though all establishments in an area gave wage increases, average
wages may have declined because lower-paying establishments entered
the area or expanded their work forces. Similarly, wages may have
remained relatively constant, yet averages for an area may have risen
considerably because higher-paying establishments entered the area.

NOTE: C om ptom eter operators, used in die com pu tation o f previous trends, are no longer
surveyed by the Bureau.
The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effect
of changes in the proportion of workers represented in each job in
cluded in the data. The percents of change reflect only changes in
average pay for straight-time hours. They are not influenced by
changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by premium pay
for overtime. Where necessary, data are adjusted to remove from
the indexes and percents of change any significant effect caused by
changes in the scope of the survey.
The average (mean) earnings for each occupation are multi
plied by the occupational weight, and the products for all occupations
in the group are totaled. The aggregates for 2 consecutive years are
related by subtracting the aggregate for the earlier year from the
aggregate for the later year and dividing the remainder by the aggre
gate for the earlier year. The result times 100 shows the percent
of change.

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.
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 employees surveyed receive more than the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown, The middle
range is defined by 2 rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than the higher rate.
3 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
