Introduction
and material movement. In the 31 largest survey areas, tables A -la
through A-6a provide similar data for establishments employing 500
workers or more.
This area is 1 of 82 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's
Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and
related benefits on an areawide basis. In this area, data were ob
tained by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and
telephone interview. Representative establishments within six broad
industry divisions were contacted: Manufacturing; transportation, com
munication, and other other public utilities; wholesale trade; retail
trade; finance, insurance, and real estate; and services. Major industry
groups excluded from these studies are government operations and
the construction and extractive industries. Establishments having fewer
than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because of insufficient
employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided
for each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.
Following the occupational wage tables is table A -7 which
provides percent changes in average earnings of office clerical work
ers, electronic data processing workers, industrial nurses, skilled
maintenance workers, and unskilled plant workers. This measure of
wage trends eliminates changes in average earnings caused by employ
ment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments
included in survey samples. Where possible, data are presented for all
industries, manufacturing, and nonmanufacturing. Appendix A discusses
this wage trend measure.
A-series tables
Appendixes
Tables A -l through A-6 provide estimates of straight-time
hourly or weekly earnings for workers in occupations common to a
variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. Occupations
were selected from the following categories: (a) Office clerical, (b) pro
fessional and technical, (c) maintenance and powerplant, and (d) custodial
This bulletin has two appendixes. Appendix A describes the
methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program and
provides information on the scope of the survey. Appendix B provides
job descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify workers in
occupations for which straight-time earnings information is presented.

Data not available.
Data do not m eet publication criteria.
NOTE: The percent increases presented in this table are based on changes in average
hourly earnings for establishments reporting the trend jobs in both the current and previous
year (matched establishments). They are not affected by changes in average earnings
resulting from employment shifts among establishments or turnover of establishments
included in survey samples. The percent increases, however, are still affected by factors
other than wage increases. Hirings, layoffs, and turnover may affect an establishment
average for an occupation when workers are paid under plans providing a range of wage rates
for individual jobs. In periods of increased hiring, for example, new employees enter at the
bottom of the-range, depressing the average without a change in wage rates.
These wage trends are not linked to the wage indexes previously published for this
area because the wage indexes measured changes in area averages whereas these wage trends
measure changes in matched establishment averages. Other characteristics of these wage
trends which differ from the discontinued indexes include (1) earnings data of office clerica l
workers and industrial nurses are converted to an hourly basis, (2) trend estimates are
provided for nonmanufacturing establishments where possible, and (3) trend estimates are
provided for electronic data processing jobs.
For a m ore detailed description of the method used to compute these wage trends, see
"Improving Area Wage Survey Indexes," Monthly Labor Review, January 1973, pp. 52-57.

and for work on weekends, holidays, and'late shifts.
Appendix A
Area wage and related benefits data are obtained by personal visits of Bureau field represent
atives at 3-year in terv a ls.1 In each of the intervening years, information on employment and
occupational earnings is collected by a combination of personal visit; mail questionnaire, and telephone
interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.
In each of the 8 2 2 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained from representative estab
lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transportation, 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 operations and the construction and
extractive industries. Establishments having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted
because of insufficient employment in the occupations studied. Separate tabulations are provided for
each of the broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.
These surveys are conducted on a sample basis. The sampling procedures involve detailed
stratification of all establishments within the scope of an individual area survey by industry and number
of em ployees. F rom this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each establishment
having a predeterm ined chance of selection. To obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater
proportion of large than sm all establishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment
is weighted according to its probability of selection, so that unbiased estimates are generated. F or
exam ple, 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
classification if data are not available for the original sample member. If no suitable substitute is
available, additional weight is assigned to a sample m ember that is sim ilar to the m issing unit.
Occupations and Earnings
Occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufacturing and nonmanufacturing
industries, and are of the following types: (1) Office clerica l; (2) professional and technical; (3)
maintenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material movement. Occupational classification is
based on a uniform set of job descriptions designed to take account of interestablishment variation
in duties within the same job. Occupations selected for study are listed and described in appendix B.
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 -se rie s tables, because either (1) employment in the occupation
is too small to provide enough data to m erit presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of
individual establishment data. Separate m en's and women's earnings data are not presented when the
number of w orkers not identified by sex is 20 percent or m ore of the men or women identified in an
occupation. 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 sub
classification of electronics technicians, secreta ries, or truckdrivers is not shown or information to
subclassify is not available.
Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-tim e w orkers, i.e ., those hired
to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings data exclude premium pay for overtim e and for work on
weekends, holidays, and late shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-livin g allowances
and incentive bonuses are included. Weekly hours for office clerica l and professional and technical
occupations refer to the standard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees
receive regular straight-tim e 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 m easure 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 averages for individual jobs are affected by changes in wages and employment patterns. F or
exam ple, proportions of workers em ployed by high- or low-wage firm s may change, or high-wage
w orkers may advance 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 A - 7,
are better indicators of wage trends than individual jobs within the groups.
Average earnings reflect com posite, areawide estim ates. Industries and establishments differ
in pay level and job staffing, and thus contribute differently to the estimates for each job. Pay
averages may fail to reflect accurately the wage differential among jobs in individual establishments.
Average pay levels fo r men and women in selected occupations 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 perform ance of specific duties within the general survey job descriptions. Job
descriptions used to classify employees in these surveys usually are m ore generalized than those used
in individual establishments and allow for m inor differences among establishments in specific
duties perform ed.
Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all establishments within the scope
of the study and not the number actually surveyed. Because occupational structures among establish
ments differ, estimates of occupational employment obtained from the sample of establishments studied
serve only to indicate the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occupational
structure do not affect m aterially the accuracy of the earnings data.
Wage trends fo r selected occupational groups

Percent changes for individual areas in the program are computed as follows:
1. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment in the selected
group of occupations in the base year.
2. These weights are used to compute group averages. Each occupation's average (mean)
earnings is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to obtain a group average.
3. The ratio of group averages for 2 consecutive years is computed by dividing the average
fo r the current year by the average for the ea rlier year. The results— expressed as a percent— less 100
is the percent change.
Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
1 Personal visits were on a 2-year cycle before July 1972.
2 Included in the 82 areas are 12 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Akron, Ohio; Austin, l e x . ; Binghamton,
N. Y . —P a .; Birmingham, A l a .; Fort Lauderdale—Hollywood and West Palm Beach—Boca Raton, F la .; Lexington—Fayette, K y .; Melbourne—T itusvilleCocoa, F la .; Norfolk—Virginia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, Va. —N. C . ; Poughkeepsie—Kingston—Newburgh, N .Y .; Raleigh—
Durham, N. C . ; Syracuse, N. Y . ; and Westchester County, N .Y .
In addition, the Bureau conducts more limited area studies in approximately 70
areas at the request of the Employment Standards Administration of the U. S. Department of Labor.
Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions (B -series
tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Information for these, tabulations is collected at 3-year
in terv als.1 These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced office workers; shift
differentials; scheduled weekly hours and days; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance* and
pension plans are presented (in the B -se rie s tables) in previous bulletins for this area.

1 The San Antonio Standard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Office o f Management and Budget through February 1974, consists
of Bexar, Comal, and Guadalupe Counties. The "workers within scope of study" estimates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate
description of the size and com position o f the labor fo rce included in the survey. Estimates are not intended, however, for com parison with
other employment indexes to measure employment trends or levels since (1) planning o f wage surveys requires establishment data com piled
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. A ll outlets (within the area) of companies in industries
such as trade, finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment. See box below.
4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total employment (within the area) at or above the minimum limitation. See box below.
5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A -s e rie s tables. 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 survey.
6 This division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A -se rie s tables. Separate presentation of data
is not made for one or m ore of the following reasons: (1) Employment is too small to provide enough data to m erit separate study, (2) the sample
was not designed initially to permit separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient o r inadequate to permit separate presentation, and (4) there
is possibility of disclosure of individual establishment data.
7 Hotels and m otels; laundries and other personal services; business services; automobile repair, rental, and parking; motion pictures;
nonprofit m embership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
NOTE: Since the last survey in the San Antonio area, the Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) has been
expanded to include Comal County. The additional geography accounts for less than 3 percent of the workers within scope o f
the study. Most of these w orkers in Comal County were in manufacturing establishments.
Occupational earnings information in tables A - l through A -6 relates to the expanded SMSA, but wage trend information in
table A-7 relates to the geographical scope used in the May 1974 survey. Next year, all data will relate to the enlarged SMSA.
In addition to the change in geography, data in the A -se rie s tables and appendix table are representative of establishments
employing 97 percent of the total employment and 90 percent of the manufacturing employment in scope of the survey. The
balance of the employment was in establishments from which data could not be obtained and which could not appropriately be
represented by other establishments.
Appendix B. Occupational Descriptions
The prim ary 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-tim e, tem porary, and probationary workers.

information developed by the higher level analyst.
May provide functional direction to lower level program m ers who are assigned to assist.
Class B. Works independently or under only general direction on relatively simple program s,
or on simple segments of complex program s. Program s (or segments) usually p rocess information to
produce data in two or three varied sequences or form ats. Reports and listings are produced by
refining, adapting, arraying, or making minor additions to or deletions from input data which are
readily available. While numerous records may be p rocessed, the data have been refined in prior
actions so that the accuracy and sequencing of data can be tested by using a few routine checks.
Typically, the program deals with routine record-keeping type operations.
