L y- * • AREA WAGE SURVEY S e a ttle —Everett, W ashington, M etro p o litan A rea, January 1974 B u lle t in 1 7 9 5 - 1 7 document collection OCT 2 71975 Dayton & Montgomery Public Library Co. U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Rurftaii of Labor Statistics ANNOUNCEM ENT Beginning with the 1795 series, Area Wage Surveys will be issued as bulletins (for sale) only every third year. These bulletins will contain information on establishment practices and supplementary benefits as well as earnings. In the interim years, supplements containing data on earnings only will be issued free. Supplements can be obtained from BLS Regional Offices listed on the back cover of this publication. Preface This bulletin provides results of a January 1974 survey of occupational earnings and supplementary wage benefits in the Seattle— Everett, Washington, Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (King and Snohomish Counties). The survey was made as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual area wage survey program. The program is designed to yield data for individual metropolitan areas, as well as national and regional estimates for all Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the United States, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. A major consideration in the area wage survey program is the need to describe the level and movement of wages in a variety of labor markets, through the analysis of (1) the level and distribution of wages by occupation, and (2) the movement of wages by occupational category and skill level. The program develops information that may be used for many purposes, including wage and salary administration, collective bargaining, and assistance in determining plant location. Survey results also are used by the U.S. Department of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act of 1965. Currently, 94 areas are included in the program. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, occupational earnings data are collected annually. Information on establishment practices and supplementary wage benefits, collected every second year in the past, is now obtained every third year. Results of the next two annual surveys, providing earnings data only, will be issued as free supplements to this bulletin. The supplements may be obtained from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover for addresses.) Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been completed, two sum mary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area surveyed. The second summary bulletin presents national and regional estimates, projected from individual metropolitan area data. The Seattle— Everett survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in San Francisco, Calif., under the general direction of Milton Keenan, Associate Assistant Regional Director for Operations. The survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the many firms whose wage and salary data provided the basis for the statistical infor mation in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to express sincere appreciation for the cooperation received. Note: Also available for the Seattler-Everett area are listings of union wage rates for seven selected building trades. Free copies of these are available from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover for addresses.) AREA WAGE SURVEY Bulletin 1795-17 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR, Peter J.

The first of these, table A -7 , measures changes in average earnings of the four occupational groups over tim e. Where possible, data are presented for all industries and manufacturing. Table A -8 presents another measure of wage movements. The percents of change reported for the occupational groups are computed to eliminate changes in average earnings caused by employment shifts among estab lishments as well as turnover of establishments included in survey samples. Where possible, data also are presented for nonmanufacturing. Appendix A discusses more fully differences between these tables. This area is 1 of 94 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 obtained by personal visits of Bureau field economists to representative estab lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; transpor tation, 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. B - series tables The B -se r ie s tables present information on minimum entrance salaries for office w orkers; late-shift pay provisions and practices for plant workers in manufacturing; and data separately for plant and office workers on scheduled weekly hours and days of first-shift workers; paid holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans. A -s e r ie s tables Tables A - 1 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 and material movement. In the 22 largest survey areas, tables A -l a through A -6 a provide similar data for establishments employing 500 workers or m ore. A p p e n d ix e s 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 area survey. It also provides infor mation on labor-management agreement coverage. Appendix B provides job descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify workers in occupations for which straight-time earnings information is presented. Following the occupational wage tables are two tables providing indexes and percents of change in average earnings of office clerical workers, industrial nurses, skilled maintenance workers, and unskilled 2 A.

An establishment was considered as having formal provisions if it (1) had operated late shifts during the 12 months before the survey, or (2 ) had provisions in written form to operate late shifts. 4 The temporary disability laws in C alifornia and Rhode Island do not require em ployer contribution. * An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the minim um number o f days sick leave available to each em ployee. Such a plan need not be written; but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, are excluded.
