Area Wage. Survey--The Salt Lake City, Utah, Metropolitan Area
Introduction
O ccupational 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 o rk a re g u la r w e e k ly schedule
in the given occupational c la s s ific a tio n .
Earnings data exclude p r e ­
m ium pay fo r o v e rtim e and fo r w ork on w eekends, h olid ays, and
late shifts.
Nonproduction bonuses a re excluded, but c o s t- o f- liv in g
bonuses and in cen tive earnings a re included. W here w e e k ly hours a re
rep orted , as fo r o ffic e c le r ic a l occupations, re fe r e n c e is to the w ork
schedules (rounded to the n ea rest h alf hour) fo r which s tra ig h t-tim e
s a la rie s a re paid; a v e ra g e w e e k ly earnings fo r these occupations have
been rounded to the n ea rest h alf d o lla r.

This a rea is 1 of 85 in which the U.S. D epartm ent of L a b o r 's
Bureau of L a b o r S tatistics conducts su rveys of occupational earnings
and rela ted w age ben efits on an areaw id e b asis.
This bu lletin p resen ts cu rren t occupational em ploym ent and
earnings in form ation obtained la r g e ly by m a il fr o m the establishm ents
v is ite d by Bureau fie ld econ om ists in the la st previou s su rvey fo r
occupations rep o rted in that e a r lie r study. P e rs o n a l v is its w e re made
to nonrespondents and to those respondents rep o rtin g unusual changes
since the previou s su rvey.

The averages presented r e fle c t com p osite, areaw id e estim ates.
Industries and establishm ents d iffe r in pay le v e l and job staffin g and,
thus, contribute d iffe r e n tly to the estim a tes fo r each job.
The pay
relation sh ip obtainable fr o m the averages m ay fa il to r e fle c t a ccu ra tely
the w age spread o r d iffe r e n tia l m aintained among jobs in individual
establishm ents. S im ila rly , d iffe re n c e s in a v e ra g e pay le v e ls fo r men
and w om en in any of the s e le c te d occupations should not be assum ed to
r e fle c t d iffe re n c e s in pay treatm en t of the sexes within individual e s ­
tablishm ents. Other p o ssib le fa c to rs which m ay contribute to d if f e r ­
ences in pay fo r m en and wom en include: D iffe re n c e s in p ro g re s s io n
within estab lish ed rate ranges, since only the actual rates paid in ­
cumbents a re c o lle c te d ; and d iffe re n c e s in s p e c ific duties p e rfo rm e d ,
although the w o rk e rs a re a p p ro p ria te ly c la s s ifie d w ithin the sam e
su rvey job d escrip tion . Job d escrip tion s used in c la s s ify in g em p loyees
in these su rveys a re usu ally m o re g e n e ra liz e d than those used in
individual establishm ents and a llo w fo r m in or d iffe re n c e s among e s ­
tablishm ents in the s p e c ific duties p e rfo rm e d .

In each a rea , data a re obtained fr o m re p re s e n ta tiv e esta b ­
lishm ents w ithin six broad industry d ivisio n s: M anufacturing; tra n s ­
portation, com m unication, and other public u tilitie s ; w h olesa le trade;
r e ta il trad e; 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 a re govern m en t o p e ra ­
tions and the construction and e x tra c tiv e in d u stries. E stablishm ents
having fe w e r than a p re s c rib e d number of w o rk e rs a re om itted because
they tend to fu rnish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied
to w arran t inclusion. Separate tabulations a re p ro vid ed fo r each of the
broad industry d ivision s which m eet publication c r ite r ia .
T h ese su rveys a re conducted on a sam ple b asis because of
the u n n ecessary cost in vo lved in su rveyin g a ll establish m en ts.
To
obtain optim um a ccu ra cy at m inim um cost, a g r e a te r p ro p o rtio n of
la r g e than of sm a ll establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data,
h o w ever, a ll establishm ents a re given th eir a p p rop riate w eight. E s ­
tim a tes based on the establishm ents studied a re p resen ted , th e re fo re ,
as rela tin g to a ll establishm ents in the in du stry grouping and area ,
except fo r those b elow the m inim um s iz e studied.

O ccupational em ploym ent estim a tes re p re s e n t the total in a ll
establishm ents within the scope of the study and not the number actu ally
su rveyed. B ecause of d iffe re n c e s in occupational structure among e s ­
tablishm ents, the estim ates of occupational em ploym ent obtained fro m
the sam ple of establish m en ts studied s e r v e only to indicate the r e la tiv e
im portan ce of the jobs studied.
Th ese d iffe re n c e s in occupational
stru ctu re do not m a te r ia lly a ffe c t the a ccu ra cy of the earnings data.

Occupations and E arnings
The occupations s e le c te d fo r study a re com m on to a v a r ie ty
of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in d u stries, and a re of the
fo llo w in g types: (1) O ffic e c le r ic a l; (2) p ro fe s s io n a l and tech n ical;
(3) m aintenance and pow erplant; and (4) cu stodial and m a te ria l m o v e ­
ment.
O ccupational c la s s ific a tio n is based on a u n iform set of job
d escrip tio n s designed to take account of in teresta b lish m en t v a ria tio n
in duties within the sam e job.

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups
Presented in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change in
average salaries of office clerical workers and industrial nurses, and
in average earnings of selected plant worker groups.
For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the p er­
centages of change relate to average weekly salaries for normal hours
of work, that is, the standard work schedule for which straight-time
salaries are paid. For plant worker 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
percentages are based on data for selected key occupations and in­
clude most of the numerically important jobs within each group.
Office clerical (men and women):
Bookkeeping-machine operators, class B
Clerks, accounting, classes A and B
Clerks, file, classes A, B, and C
Clerks, order
Clerks, payroll
Comptometer operators
Keypunch operators, classes A and B
Office boys and girls
Secretaries
Stenographers, general
Stenographers, senior
Switchboard operators, classes A and B
Tabulating-machine operators, class B
Typists, classes A and B

Average weekly
computed for each of the
or hourly earnings were
the jobs during the period

Industrial nurses ( men and women):
Nurses, industrial (registered)
Skilled maintenance (men):
Carpenters
Electricians
Machinists
Mechanics
Mechanics ( automotive)
Painters
Pipefitters
Tool and die makers
Unskilled plant (men):
Janitors, porters, and cleaners
Laborers, m aterial handling

salaries or average hourly earnings were
selected occupations. The average salaries
then multiplied by employment in each of
surveyed in 1961. These weighted earnings

for individual occupations were then totaled to obtain an aggregate for
each occupational group. Finally, the ratio (expressed as a percentage)
of the group aggregate for the one year to the aggregate for the other
year was computed and the difference between the result and 100 is
the percentage of change from the one period to the other. The
indexes were computed by multiplying the ratios for each group
aggregate for each period after the base year (1961).
The indexes and percentages of change m easure, principally,
the effects of (1) general salary and wage changes; (2) m erit 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 re ­
sulting from labor turnover, force expansions, force reductions, and
changes in the proportions of workers 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.
For example, a force expansion might increase the proportion of lower
paid workers in a specific occupation and lower the average, whereas
a reduction in the proportion of lower paid workers would have the
opposite effect. Sim ilarly, the movement of a high-paying establish­
ment out of an area could cause the average earnings to drop, even
though no change in rates occurred in other establishments in the area.
Data are adjusted where n ecessary to remove from the indexes and
percentages of change any significant effect caused by changes in
scope of the survey.
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 percentages 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.

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions

The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau’s wage surveys is to assist its field
staff 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
the grouping of 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 economists are instructed to exclude working supervisors,
apprentices, learners, beginners, trainees, handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary woikers.
