1 Personal visits were on a 2-year cy cle before July 1972.
2 Included in the 84 areas are 14 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are
Akron, Ohio; Austin, T e x .; Binghamton, N .Y . —P a .; Birmingham, A la .; Fort Lauderdale—Hollywood and West
Palm Beach—Boca Raton, F la.; Lexington—Fayette, K y .; Melbourne—Titusville—Cocoa, F la.; Norfolk—Virginia
Beach-Portsmouth and Newport News—Hampton, Va. —N. C . ; Poughkeepsie-Kingston—Newburgh, N .Y .; Raleigh—
Durham, N .C .; Stamford, Conn.; Syracuse, N .Y .; Utica—Rome, 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 o f Labor.

Occupational employment estimates represent the total in all estab­
lishments within the scope of the study and not the number actually surveyed.
Because occupational structures among establishments 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 materially the accuracy of
the earnings data.
Wage trends for selected occupational groups
The percent increases presented in table A -7 are based on changes
in average hourly earnings for establishments reporting the trend jobs in both
the current and previous year (matched establishments). The data are
adjusted to remove the effects on average earnings of employment shifts
among establishments and 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.

Percent changes for individual areas in the program are computed
as follows:
1. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its pro­
portionate employment in the occupational group 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 for the current year
by the average for the earlier year. The result—
expressed as a percent— less 100 is the percent change.

Occupations used to compute wage trends are:
Office clerical (men and
women)— Continued

Skilled maintenance (men
and women):

Industrial nurses (men and
women!:

The percent changes relate to wage changes between the indicated
dates. When the time span between surveys is other than 12 months, annual
rates are shown. (It is assumed that wages increase at a constant rate
between surveys.)

wage trends, see "Improving Area Wage Survey Indexes, " Monthly Labor
Review, January 1973, pp. 52-57.
Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions




Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supplementary
wage provisions (B -series tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Infor­
mation for these tabulations is collected at 3-year intervals. 1 These tabu­
lations 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 -series tables)
in previous bulletins for this area.
1 Personal visits were on a 2-year cy cle before July 1972.

1 Th e San Jose Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the Office of M a n a g e m e n t and Budget through February 1974, consists of Santa Clara County.
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. Estimates are not intended, however, for comparison with other em ployment indexes to m e a s u r e em pl oy me nt trends or levels since (1) planning of wage
surveys requires establishment data compiled considerably in advance of the payroll period studied, and (2) small establishments are excluded f r o m the scope of the
survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial Classification Ma nu al w a s used in classifying establishments by industry division.
3 Includes all establishments with total employment at or above the m i n i m u m limitation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in industries such as trade,
finance, auto repair service, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishment.
4 Includes all workers in all establishments with total em pl oy me nt (within the area) at or above the m i n i m u m limitation.
5 Abbreviated to "public utilities" in the A-series tables. Taxic&bs and services incidental to water transportation are excluded.
6 This division is represented in estimates for "all industries" and "nonmanufacturing" in the A-series tables. Separate presentation of data is not m a d e for
one or m o r e of the following reasons: (1) Em p l o y m e n t is too small to provide enough data to merit separate study, (2) the sample wa s not designed initially to permit
separate presentation, (3) response w a s 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 m e m b e r s h i p
organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural services.
