Preface
This bulletin provides results of a December 1977 survey of occu
pational earnings in the Seattle—Ever ett, Washington, Standard Metropolitan

Statistics' annual area wage survey program. It was conducted by the
Bureau's regional office in San Francisco, C alif., under the general direction
of Milton Keenan, Assistant Regional Com missioner for Operations. The
survey could not have been accomplished without the cooperation of the many
firm s whose wage and salary data provided the basis for the statistical
information in this bulletin. The Bureau wishes to express sincere appre
ciation for the cooperation received.

Introduction
This area is 1 of 74 in which the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau
of Labor Statistics conducts surveys of occupational earnings and related
benefits. (See list of areas on inside back cover.) In each area, occupational
earnings data (A -series tables) are collected annually. Information on estab
lishment practices and supplementary wage benefits (B -series tables) is
obtained every third year. This report has no B -se r ie s tables.
Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been com
pleted, two summary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data
for each metropolitan area surveyed; the second presents national and
regional estim ates, projected from individual metropolitan area data, 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. Depart
ment of Labor to make wage determinations under the Service Contract Act
of 1965.
A -se r ie s tables
Tables A - 1 through A -6 provide estimates of straight-time weekly
or hourly earnings for workers in occupations common to a variety of
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries. For the 31 largest survey
areas, tables A -8 through A - 13 provide sim ilar data for establishments
employing 500 workers or m ore.
Table A - 7 provides percent changes in average hourly earnings
of office clerical workers, electronic data processing workers, industrial
nurses, skilled maintenance trades workers, and unskilled plant workers.
Where possible, data are presented for all industries and for manufac
turing and nonmanufacturing separately. Data are not presented for skilled
maintenance workers in nonmanufacturing because the number of workers
employed in this occupational group in nonmanufacturing is too small to
warrant separate presentation.
This table provides a measure of wage
trends after elinimation of changes in average earnings caused by employ
ment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments
included in survey samples. For further details, see appendix A.
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 econo
mists to classify workers by occupation.

Appendix A.
Scope and Method
of Survey
Data on area wages and related benefits are obtained by personal
visits of Bureau field representatives at 3-year intervals. In each of the
intervening years, information on employment and occupational earnings is
collected by a combination of personal visit, mail questionnaire, and tele
phone interview from establishments participating in the previous survey.
In each of the 74 1 areas currently surveyed, data are obtained from
representative establishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufac
turing; 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 employ
ment 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 employees.
From this stratified universe a probability sample is selected, with each
establishment having a predetermined chance of selection. To obtain optimum
accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of large than small estab
lishments is selected. When data are combined, each establishment is
weighted according to its probability of selection, so that unbiased estimates
are generated. For example, if one out of four establishments is selected,
it is given a weight of 4 to represent itself plus three others. An alternate
of the same original probability is chosen in the same industry-size c la s s i
fication if data are not available from the original sample mem ber. If no
suitable substitute is available, additional weight is assigned to a sample
member that is sim ilar to the missing unit.
Occupations and earnings
Occupations selected for study are common to a variety of manufac
turing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the following types: (1)
Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3) maintenance, toolroom,
and powerplant; and (4) material movement and custodial. 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 the
scope of the survey, are not presented in the A -s e r ie 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 workers not identified by sex is 20 percent
or more of the men or women identified in an occupation. Earnings data
not shown separately for industry divisions are included in data for all
industries combined. Likewise, for occupations with more than one level,
data are included in the overall classification when a subclassification is
not shown or information to subclassify is not available.
Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for full-tim e
workers, i.e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule. Earnings
data exclude premium pay for overtime 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
clerical 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. Vertical lines within the distribution of
workers on some A -tables indicate a change in the size of the class intervals.
These surveys measure the level of occupational earnings in an area
at a particular tim e. 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. For example,
proportions of workers employed by high- or low-wage firm s may change, or
high-wage workers may advance to better jobs and be replaced by new
workers at lower rates. Such shifts in employment could decrease an occu
pational average even though most establishments in an area increase wages
during the year. Changes in earnings of occupational groups, shown in table
A -7 , are better indicators of wage trends than are earnings changes for
individual jobs within the groups.
Average earnings reflect composite, areawide estimates. Industries
staffing, and thus contribute
averages may fail to reflect
in individual establishments.

Included in the 74 areas are 4 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract. These areas are Akron,
and establishments differ in pay level and job
CSiio; Birmingham, A l a .; N orfolk—Virginia Beach—Portsmouth and Newport News—Ham pton, V a .—N. C. ; and
differently to the estimates for each job. Pay
Syracuse, N .Y . In addition, the Bureau conducts m ore lim ited area studies in approxim ately 100 areas at the
accurately the wage differential among jobs
request o f the Em ploym ent Standards Adm inistration o f the U. S. Department o f Labor.
Average pay levels for 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 pro
gression within established rate ranges (only the rates paid incumbents are
collected) and performance of specific duties within the general survey job
descriptions. Job descriptions used to classify employees in these surveys
usually are more generalized than those used in individual establishments
and allow for minor differences among establishments in specific duties
pe rformed.

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 m aterially 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 of men and women in 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 employ
ment 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 may enter at the bottom of the range,
depressing the average without a change in wage rates.
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.)
Percent changes for i
as follows:
areas in the program are computed
1. Average earnings are computed for each occupation for
the 2 years being compared. The averages are derived
from earnings in those establishments which are in
the survey both years; it is assumed that employment
remains unchanged.
2. Each occupation is assigned a weight based on its pro
portionate employment in the occupational group in the
base year.
3.
These weights are used to compute group averages.
Each occupation's average earnings (computed in step 1)
is multiplied by its weight. The products are totaled to
obtain a group average.
4.
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
Office clerical— Continued

Stenographers, general

Typists, classes

File clerks, classes A,
B, and C
Messengers

wage trends, see "Improving Area Wage Survey Indexes, " Monthly Labor
Review, January 1973, pp. 52-5 7 .
Establishment practices and supplementary wage provisions
Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supplementary
wage provisions (B -se r ie s tables) are not presented in this bulletin. Infor
mation for these tabulations is collected at 3-year intervals. 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.

Appendix B.
Occupational
Descriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bu
reau's wage surveys is to assist its field staff in classifying into appro
priate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll
titles and different work arrangements from establishment to establish
ment and from area to area. This permits the grouping of occupational
wage rates representing comparable job content. Because of this empha
sis on inter establishment 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; begin
ners; and part-tim e, temporary, and probationary workers. Handicapped
workers whose earnings are reduced because of their handicap are also
excluded. Trainees are excluded from the survey except for those r e
ceiving on-the-job training in some of the lower level professional and
technical occupations.

Analyzes subject-matter operations to be automated and identifies conditions
and criteria required to achieve satisfactory results; specifies number and
types of records, file s, and documents to be used; outlines actions to be
performed by personnel and computers in sufficient detail for presentation
to management and for programming (typically this involves preparation of
work and data flow charts); coordinates the development of test problems and
participates in trial runs of new and revised system s; and recommends equip
ment changes to obtain more effective overall operations. (NOTE: Workers
performing both systems analysis and programming should be classified as
systems analysts if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)
Class C. Works under immediate supervision, carrying out analy
ses as assigned, usually of a single activity. Assignments are designed to
develop and expand practical experience in the application of procedures and
skills required for systems analysis work. For example, may assist a higher
level systems analyst by preparing the detailed specifications required by
programm ers from information developed by the higher level analyst.
Does not include employees primarily responsible for the manage
ment or supervision of other electronic data processing em ployees, or sy s
tems analysts primarily concerned with scientific or engineering problems.
For wage study purposes, systems analysts are classified as follows:
Class A . Works independently or under only general direction on
complex problems involving all phases of system analysis.
Problems are
complex because of diverse sources of input data and multiple-use require
ments of output data. (For example, develops an integrated production sched
uling, inventory control, cost analysis, and sales analysis record in which
every item of each type is automatically processed through the full system
of records and appropriate followup actions are initiated by the computer.)
Confers with persons concerned to determine the data processing problems
and advises subject-matter personnel on the implications of new or revised
systems of data processing operations. Makes recommendations, if needed,
for approval of major systems installations or changes and for obtaining
equipment.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMER, BUSINESS
Converts statements of business problem s, typically prepared by a
systems analyst, into a sequence of detailed instructions which are required
to solve the problems by automatic data processing equipment. Working from
charts or diagram s, the programmer develops the precise instructions which,
when entered into the computer system in coded language, cause the manipu
lation of data to achieve desired results. Work involves most of the following:
Applies knowledge of computer capabilities, mathematics, logic employed by
computers, and particular subject matter involved to analyze charts and
diagrams of the problem to be programmed; develops sequence of program
steps; writes detailed flow charts to show order in which data will be
processed; converts these charts to coded instructions for machine to follow;
tests and corrects program s; prepares instructions for operating personnel
during production run; analyzes, reviews, and alters programs to increase
operating efficiency or adapt to new requirements; maintains records of
program development and revisions. (NOTE: Workers performing both
system s analysis and programming should be classified as systems analysts
if this is the skill used to determine their pay.)
Does not include employees prim arily responsible for the manage
ment or supervision of other electronic data processing employees, or pro
gram m ers prim arily concerned with scientific and/or engineering problems.

the nature of desired results, major processing steps to be accomplished,
and the relationships between various steps of the problem solving routine;
plans the full range of programming actions needed to efficiently utilize the
computer system in achieving desired end products.
At this level, programming is difficult because computer equipment
must be organized to produce several interrelated but diverse products from
numerous and diverse data elem ents. A wide variety and extensive number
of internal processing actions must occur. This requires such actions as
development of common operations which can be reused, establishment of
linkage points between operations, adjustments to data when program require
ments exceed computer storage capacity, and substantial manipulation and
resequencing of data elements to form a highly integrated program.
May provide functional direction to lower level programmers who are
assigned to assist.
COMPUTER PROGRAMMER, BUSINESS— Continued
COMPUTER OPERATOR----Continued
C lass B . Works independently or under only general direction on
relatively simple program s, or on simple segments of complex programs.
Programs (or segments) usually process information to produce data in two
or three varied sequences or formats. 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
processed, 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 recordkeeping operations.
