NOTE: Table 3 provides percents of change in a ve rage hourly earnings for selected
occupational grou ps, adjusted to exclude the effect of employment shifts.
The new method
for computing wage trends is ba sed on changes in av erage hourly earnings for establishments
reporting the index jobs in both the current and previous ye ar (matched establishm ents),
holding establishment employment in the jobs constant.
The new wage trends are not linked to the current indexes becau se the new wage trends
m ea s u r e changes in matched establishment a ver a ge s whereas the current indexes m ea s u r e
changes in a r e a a ve r a g e s . Other ch a ra c t e ris t ic s of the new wage trends which differ from
the current ones include (1) earnings data of office c le r ic a l workers and industrial nurses
a re converted to an hourly b a s i s , and (2) trend e st im a te s are provided for nonmanufacturing
establis hm ents.

Appendix. Occupational Descriptions
The p rim ary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the B u reau 's wage surveys is to a s s is t its field staff in classify in g into appropriate
occupations w orkers who are employed under a variety of payroll title s and different work arrangem en ts from establishm ent to establishm ent and
from a re a to a re a . This perm its the grouping of occupational wage rate s representing com parable job content. B ecau se of this em phasis on
interestablishm ent and in terare a com parability of occupational content, the B u reau 's job descriptions m ay differ significantly from those in use in
individual establishm ents or those prepared for other p urp oses. In applying these job d escrip tion s, the B u reau 's field econom ists are nstructed
to exclude working su p e rv iso rs; apprentices; le a rn e rs; beginners: train e es: and handicapped, p art-tim e, tem porary, and probationary w orkers.
