Area Wage Survey----The Rochester, N.Y., Metropolitan Area
Introduction
This area is 1 of 90 in which the U.S. Department o f L a b o r 's
Bureau o f L abor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings
and related benefits on an areaw ide b a s is .1 In this a re a , data w ere
obtained by p erson a l v isits of Bureau field econ om ists to re p re se n t­
ative establishm ents within six broad industry d iv ision s: Manu­
facturing; tran sportation , com m unication, and other public u tilities;
w h olesale trad e; reta il trade; finan ce, in su ran ce, and rea l estate; and
s e r v ic e s . M ajor industry groups excluded fr o m these studies are
governm ent operations and the con stru ction and extractive in du stries.
E stablishm ents having few er than a p r e s c r ib e d number of w ork ers are
om itted becau se they tend to furnish insufficient em ploym ent in the
occupations studied to w arrant in clusion. Separate tabulations are
p rovided fo r each o f the broad industry d ivision s which m eet pu bli­
cation crite r ia .

Occupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown for
fu ll-tim e w o rk e rs, i.e ., those hired to w ork a regular w eekly schedule
in the given occupational cla ss ifica tio n . E arnings data exclude p r e ­
m ium pay fo r overtim e and for w ork on w eekends, h olidays, and
late sh ifts. N onproduction bonuses are. exclu ded, but c o s t-o f-liv in g
allow ances and incentive earnings are included. W here w eekly hours
are re p orted , as fo r o ffice c le r ic a l occu pation s, re fe re n ce is to the
standard w orkw eek (rounded to the nearest half hour) fo r which em ­
ployees r e c e iv e their regular straigh t-tim e sa la ries (exclu siv e of pay
fo r overtim e at regu lar a n d /o r prem ium ra tes). A verage w eekly earn ­
ings fo r these occupations have been rounded to the n earest half d ollar.
The averages presented re fle ct com p osite, areaw ide e s ti­
m ates. Industries and establishm ents d iffer in pay le v e l and job
staffing and, thus, contribute d ifferen tly to the estim ates fo r each jo b .
The pay relation sh ip obtainable fro m the averages may fail to re fle ct
a ccu ra tely the wage spread or differen tial maintained among job s in
individual establishm ents. S im ilarly, d ifferen ces in average pay le v ­
els fo r m en and wom en in any of the selected occupations should
not be assum ed to r e fle c t d ifferen ces in pay treatm ent of the sexes
within individual establishm ents. Other p ossib le fa cto rs which may
contribute to d iffe re n ce s in pay fo r m en and w om en include: D iffe r ­
en ces in p r o g r e s s io n within establish ed rate ran ges, sin ce only the
actual rates paid incumbents are collected ; and d ifferen ces in sp e cific
duties p e rfo rm e d , although the w ork ers are cla ss ifie d appropriately
within the sam e survey jo b d escrip tion . Job d escrip tion s used in
cla ssify in g em ployees in these surveys are usually m ore gen eralized
than those used in individual establishm ents and allow fo r m inor
d iffe re n ce s among establishm ents in the sp e cific duties p erform ed .

T hese surveys are conducted on a sam ple b a sis becau se of
the u n n ecessary cost involved in surveying all establish m en ts. To
obtain optim um a ccu ra cy at m inim um c o s t, a grea ter p rop ortion of
la rg e than of sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data,
h ow ev er, all establishm ents are given th eir appropriate weight. E s ­
tim ates based on the establishm ents studied are presen ted , th e r e fo r e ,
as relating to all establishm ents in the industry grouping and area ,
except fo r those below the m inim um size studied.
O ccupations and E arnings
The occupations se le cte d fo r study are com m on to a v a riety
o f manufacturing and nonmanufacturing in d u stries, and are of the
follow in g types: (1) O ffice c le r ic a l; (2) p ro fe ssio n a l and tech n ical;
(3) m aintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and m a teria l m o v e ­
m en t.2 Occupational cla s s ific a tio n is based on a u niform set of job
d escrip tion s designed to take account of in terestablishm ent variation
in duties within the sam e jo b . The occupations se le cte d fo r study
are liste d and d e scrib e d in the appendix. The earnings data follow ing
the job titles are fo r all industries com bined. Earnings data fo r som e
of the occupations listed and d e s c r ib e d , or fo r som e industry division s
within occu p ation s, are not p resen ted in the A -s e r ie s ta b le s, because
either (1) em ploym ent in the occupation is too sm all to provide enough
data to m erit presen tation, o r (2) th ere is p o ssib ility of d isclo su re
of individual establishm ent data.

Occupational em ploym ent estim ates rep resen t the total in
all establishm ents within the scop e of the study and not the number
actually surveyed. B ecause of d ifferen ces in occupational structure
among establish m en ts, the estim ates o f occupational em ploym ent o b ­
tained fro m the sam ple of establishm ents studied serve only to indicate
the rela tive im portance of the job s studied. These d ifferen ces in
occupational structure do not affect m aterially the a ccu ra cy of the
Warnings data.

Included in the 90 areas are four studies conducted under contract with the New Yoric State
Department of Labor. These areas are Binghamton (New York portion only); Rochester (o ffice o ccu patdons only); Syracuse; and Utica—Rome. In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ited area studies
in 91 areas at the request o f the Wage and Horn and Public Contracts Divisions o f the U. S. De­
partment o f Labor.
Wage data tor maintenance and powerplant, and custodial and material movement occupa­
tions were not collected in this area.

Inform ation is p resen ted (in the B -s e r ie s tables) on selected
establishm ent p ra ctice s and supplem entary wage p rov ision s as they
relate to plant and o ffice w o rk e rs. A dm in istrative, execu tive, and
p ro fe ssio n a l e m p loyees, and con stru ction w ork ers who are utilized
as a separate w ork fo r c e are excluded. "P lan t w o rk e rs " include

2
working forem en and all n on su p erv isory w ork ers (including lea d men and trainees) engaged in n onoffice functions. "O ffic e w o rk e rs"
include working su p e rv iso rs and n on su p ervisory w ork ers p erform in g
c le r ic a l or related functions. C afeteria w ork ers and routem en are
excluded in m anufacturing in d u stries, but included in nonmanufacturing
in du stries.
M inim um entrance sa la rie s fo r wom en o ffice w ork ers (table
B - l ) relate only to the establishm ents v isited . B ecause of the optimum
sam pling techniques used, and the probability that large esta b lish ­
m ents are m ore lik ely to have form a l entrance rates fo r w ork ers
above the s u b cle rica l le v e l than sm all establish m en ts, the table is
m o re -re p re s e n ta tiv e of p o licie s in m edium and la rge establishm ents.
Shift d ifferen tia l data (table B -2) are lim ited to plant w ork ers
in m anufacturing in du stries. This inform ation is p resen ted both in
term s of (1) establishm ent p o lic y ,3 presen ted in term s of total plant
w ork er erhploym ent, and (2) e ffectiv e p r a c tic e , presen ted in term s
of w ork ers actually em ployed on the s p e cifie d shift at the tim e of the
su rvey. In establishm ents having v a ried d ifferen tia ls, the amount
applying to a m a jo rity was used o r , if no amount applied to a m a jority ,
the cla ss ifica tio n "o th e r " was used. In establishm ents in w hich som e
la te -sh ift hours are paid at n orm al ra te s, a differen tial was re co rd e d
only if it applied to a m a jo rity of the shift h ours.
The scheduled w eekly hours (table B -3) of a m a jo rity of the
fir s t-s h ift w ork ers in an establishm ent are tabulated as applying to
all of the plant or o ffic e w o rk e rs of that establishm ent. Scheduled
w eek ly hours are those which fu ll-tim e em p loyees w ere expected to
w ork , whether they w ere paid fo r at stra igh t-tim e or ov ertim e rates.
Paid h olidays; paid va ca tion s; health, in su ran ce, and pension
plans; and prem ium pay fo r ov ertim e w ork (tables B -4 through B -7)
are treated sta tistica lly on the b a sis that th ese are applicable to all
plant or o ffice w o rk e rs if a m a jo rity of such w ork ers are e lig ib le or
m ay eventually qualify fo r the p ra c tic e s listed . Sums o f individual
item s in tables B -2 through B -7 m ay not equal totals becau se of
rounding.
Data on paid holidays (table B -4 ) are lim ited to data on h o li­
days granted annually on a fo rm a l b a s is ; i.e ., (1) are provid ed for
in w ritten fo r m , or (2) have been establish ed by cu stom . Holidays
ord in a rily granted are included even though they m ay fa ll on a non­
w orkday and the w ork er is not granted another day off. The fir s t

part of the paid holidays table presen ts the number of whole and half
holidays actually granted. The second part com bines whole and half
holidays to show total holiday tim e .
The sum m ary of vacation plans (table B -5) is lim ited to a
statistical m easure of vacation p ro v isio n s. It is not intended as a
m easu re of the p rop ortion of w ork ers actually receivin g sp e cific ben e­
fits. P ro v isio n s of an establishm ent fo r all lengths of s e rv ice w ere
tabulated as applying to all plant or o ffice w ork ers of the esta b lish ­
m ent, r e g a rd le ss of length of s e r v ic e . P rov ision s fo r payment on
other than a tim e ba sis w ere con verted to a tim e b a sis; for exam ple,
a payment of 2 p ercen t of annual earnings was con sid ered as the equiv­
alent o f 1 w eek 's pay. E stim ates exclude va cation -savin gs plans and
those which o ffer "exten d ed " or "sa b b a tica l" benefits beyond b a sic
plans to w ork ers with qualifying lengths of s e r v ic e . T yp ical of such
exclu sion s are plans in the steel, aluminum , and can in d u stries.
. Data on health, in su ran ce, and pension plans (table B -6) in ­
clude those plans fo r which the em p loyer pays at least a part of the
co st. Such plans include those underw ritten by a co m m e rcia l insurance
com pany and those provid ed through a union fund or paid d ire ctly by
the em p loyer out of current operating funds or fro m a fund set aside
fo r this pu rp ose. An establishm ent was con sid ered to have a plan
if the m a jo rity of em p loyees was elig ib le to be cov ered under the
plan, even if le s s than a m a jority elected to p articipate because em ­
p loyees w ere req u ired to contribute tow ard the cost of the plan. L e ­
gally req u ired plan s, such as w ork m en 's com pen sation, s o cia l s e ­
cu rity , and ra ilro a d retirem en t w ere excluded.
S ickness and accident insurance is lim ited to that type of
insurance under which pred eterm in ed cash payments are made d ire ctly
to the insured during illn ess or accident disability. Inform ation is
p resen ted fo r all such plans to which the em p loyer con tribu tes. How­
e v e r , in New Y ork and New J e rs e y , w hich have enacted tem p orary
d isa b ility insurance laws which requ ire em p loyer con tribu tion s,4 plans
are included only if the em p loyer (1) contributes m ore than is lega lly
re q u ired , or (2) p rov id es the em ployee with benefits which exceed the
requirem ents of the law. Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are
lim ited to fo rm a l plans 5 which provid e fu ll pay or a p rop ortion of the
w o r k e r 's pay during absen ce fro m w ork becau se of illn e s s . Separate
tabulations are presen ted accord in g to (1) plans which provide full pay
and no waiting p e rio d , and (2) plans which provid e either partial pay
or a waiting p e rio d . In addition to the presen tation of the prop ortion s
of w o rk e rs who are p rovid ed sick n ess and accident insurance or paid
sick lea v e, an unduplicated total is shown of w ork ers who re ce iv e
either or both types of ben efits.

Catastrophe in su ran ce, som etim es r e fe r r e d to as m ajor m ed ­
ica l in su ran ce, includes those plans which are designed to p rotect
em p loyees in case of sick n ess and injury involving expenses beyond
the norm al cov era g e of h ospitalization, m e d ica l, and su rg ica l plans.
M edical insurance r e fe r s to plans providing fo r com plete or partial
payment of d o c t o r s ' fe e s . Such plans m ay be underw ritten by c o m ­
m e rcia l insurance com panies or nonprofit organizations or they may
be paid fo r by the em p loyer out of a fund set aside for this purpose.
Tabulations of retirem en t pension plans are lim ited to those plans
that provide regu lar payments fo r the rem ainder of the w o r k e r 's life .
Method of wage determ ination (table B -7) rela tes to ba sic
types of rate structure fo r w ork ers paid under variou s tim e and in ­
centive sy stem s. Under a single rate structure the same rate is paid
to all ex p erien ced w o rk e rs in the sam e job cla ss ifica tio n . An individ­
ual w ork er occa sio n a lly m ay be paid above or below the single rate




fo r sp ecia l re a so n s, but such payments are excep tion s. A r a n g e -o frates plan sp e cifie s the m inim um a n d /or m axim um rate paid e x p e r i­
enced w ork ers fo r the same jo b . Inform ation a lso is provid ed on the
method of p r o g r e s s io n through the range. In the absence of a form al
rate stru ctu re, the qualifications of the individual w ork er determ ine
the pay rate. Inform ation on types of incentive plans is p rovided only
for plant w ork ers becau se of the low incidence of such plans for o ffice
w o rk e rs. Under a piecew ork system , a pred eterm ined rate is paid
fo r each unit of output. P roduction bonuses are based on production
over a quota or com pletion of a job in le ss than standard tim e. C om ­
pensation on a co m m issio n basis rep resen ts payments based on a
percentage of value of sa le s , or on a com bination of a stated salary
plus a percen tage.
