Earnings data exclude p r e m iu m pay for o vertim e and for work on w eek en ds, h olid ay s, and late sh ifts. N onproduction bonuses are excluded, but c o s t -o f-liv in g a llow ances and incentive earnings are included. W here w eek ly hours are rep o rted , as for office c le r ic a l occupations, referen c e is to the stand ard workw eek (rounded to the n ea re st half hour) for which em ployees rec eiv e their regular stra ig h t-tim e s a la r ie s (exclu siv e of pay for overtim e at regu lar a n d /o r prem iu m r a te s ). A v erag e w eekly earnings for these occupations have been rounded to the n ea re st half dollar. This area is 1 of 86 in which the U .S. D epartm ent of L a b o r 's B ureau of Labor S ta tistic s conducts su rveys of occupational earnings and rela ted ben efits on an areaw ide b a s is .

In each a r e a , data are obtained fro m represen tative e sta b lish m e n ts within six b road in du stry d iv isio n s: Manufacturing; tra n s portation , com m u n ication , and other public u tilities; w h o lesale trade; r eta il tra d e; fin an ce, in su ra n ce, and real estate; and s e r v ic e s . M ajor industry groups excluded fr o m these studies are governm ent o p era tions and the con stru ction and extractive in du stries. E stab lish m en ts having few er than a p r e s c r ib e d number of w orkers are om itted because they tend to fu rn ish in su fficien t em ploym ent in the occupations studied to w a rra n t in clu sion .

Industries and esta blish m en ts differ in pay le v e l and job staffing and, thus, contribute d ifferen tly to the estim a tes for each job . The pay relation sh ip obtainable fro m the avera ges m ay fa il to reflect a ccu rately the wage spread or d ifferen tial m aintained among jobs in individual e sta b lish m en ts.

Other p o ssib le fa cto rs which m ay contrib ute to d iffe re n ce s in pay for m en and w om en include: D iffe re n c es in p r o g r e ssio n within esta blish ed rate ran g es, since only the actual rates paid incum bents are collected ; and d iffe re n ce s in sp e cific duties p e r fo r m e d , although the w o rk ers are c la s s ifie d approp riately within the sam e su rvey job d escrip tion . Job d escription s used in cla ssify in g e m ploy ees in these su rvey s are u su ally m ore g en eralized than those used in individual esta b lish m en ts and allow for m inor d iffe re n ce s among esta b lish m en ts in the sp e cific duties p e rfo rm ed . T h ese su rvey s are conducted on a sam ple b asis becau se of the u n n e c e ssa ry cost involved in surveying a ll esta b lish m en ts. To obtain optim um a cc u r a c y at m in im u m co st, a greater proportion of la rg e than of sm a ll esta b lish m en ts is studied. In combining the data, h ow ever, all esta b lish m en ts are given their appropriate weight. E s tim a tes b a se d on the esta b lish m en ts studied are presen ted, th e r e fo r e , as relating to all e sta b lish m en ts in the industry grouping and a re a , except for those below the m in im u m size studied. O ccupational em ploym ent estim a te s rep rese n t the total in all esta b lish m en ts within the scope of the study and not the number a c tually su rveyed . B ecau se of d iffe re n ce s in occupational structure among esta b lish m e n ts, the e stim a tes of occupational em ploym ent ob tained fro m the sam ple of esta blish m en ts studied serv e only to indicate the rela tiv e im portance of the job s studied. T h ese d iffe re n ce s in occu pational stru ctu re do not affect m a te r ia lly the a ccu racy of the ea rn ings data. O ccupations and E arn in gs The occupations se le c te d for study are com m on to a v a riety of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in d u stries, and are of the fo llo w ing typ es: (l) O ffice c le r ic a l; (2) p ro fessio n al and technical; (3) m ain tenance and pow erplant; and (4) custodial and m aterial m ovem en t. O c cupational c la s s ific a tio n is b ased on a uniform set of job d escription s design ed to take account of in teresta b lish m en t variation in duties within the sam e jo b . The occupations selected for study are listed and d e sc rib ed in the appendix. The earnings data follow ing the job titles are for all in d u stries com bined. Earn in gs data for som e of the occupations listed and d e sc rib e d , or for som e industry divisions within occupations, are not presen ted in the A - s e r i e s tables because either (1) em p lo y m ent in the occupation is too sm a ll to provide enough data to m erit p resen ta tio n , or (2) th ere is p o ssib ility of d isc lo su re of individual e s tab lish m en t data.

The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and composition of the labor force included in the survey. The estimates are not intended, however, to serve as a basis of comparison with other em ployment indexes for the area to measure employment trends or levels since (l) planning of wage surveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded from the scope of the survey. 2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Manual was used in classifying establishments by industry division. 3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the minimum limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in such indus tries as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. 4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation. 5 Taxicabs and services incidental to water transportation were excluded. San Antonio's electric, gas, and transit systems are municipally operated and are excluded by definition from the scope of the study. * This industry division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation of data for this division is not made for one or more of the following reasons: (1) Employment in the division is too small to provide enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data. 7 Hotels and motels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures; nonprofit membership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services. About three-tenths of the workers within scope of the survey in the San Antonio area were employed in manufacturing firm s. The following table presents the major in dustry groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing: Industry groups Specific industries Food and kindred products________ 36 Apparel and other textile products_________________________ 14 Printing and publishing__________ 9 Stone, clay, and glass products________________________ 8 Machinery, except electrical___ 6 Fabricated metal products_______ 5 Meat products___________________ 11 Beverages________________________ 6 Men's and boys' furnishings_____ 6 Bakery products_________________ 5 Newspapers__________ -___________ 5 This information is based on estimates of total employment derived from universe materials compiled prior to actual survey. Proportions in various industry divisions may differ from proportions based on the results of the survey as shown in table 1 above. 3 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. The indexes are a measure of wages at a given time, expressed as a percent of wages during the base period (date of the area survey conducted between July I960 and June 1961). Subtracting 100 from the index yields the percentage change in wages from the base period to the date of the index. The percentages of change or increase relate to wage changes between the indicated dates. 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. in the occupational group. These constant weights reflect base year employments wherever possible. The average (mean) earnings for each occupation were multiplied by the occupational weight, and the products for all occupations in the group were totaled. The aggregates for 2 consecutive years were related by dividing the aggregate for the later year by the aggregate for the earlier year. The resultant relative, less 100 percent, shows the percentage change. The index is the product of multiplying the base year relative (100) by the relative for the next succeeding year and continuing to multiply (compound) each year's relative by the previous year's index. Average earnings for the following occupations were used in computing the wage trends: Method of Computing Each of the selected key occupations within an occupational group was assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment O ffice 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 O ffice boys and girls Table 2.

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; and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
