ANNOUNCEMENT
Area Wage Survey bulletins will be issued once every 3 years.
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 at no
additional cost to holders of the Area Wage bulletin. If you wish to
receive these supplements, please complete the coupons listed on
page 31 of this bulletin and mail to any of the BLS regional addresses
listed on the back cover. No further action on your part is necessary.
Each year, you will receive the supplement when it is published.

Preface
This bulletin provides results of a July 1974 survey of occupational earnings and
supplementary wage benefits in the Syracuse, New York, Standard Metropolitan Statistical
Area (Madison, Onondaga, and Oswego 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 m arkets, 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, 79 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 is 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
m ary bulletins are issued. The first brings together data for each metropolitan area
surveyed. The second summary bulletin presents national and regional estim ates, projected
from individual metropolitan area data.
The Syracuse survey was conducted by the Bureau's regional office in New York,
N .Y ., under the general direction of Alvin I. M argulis, A ssociate A ssistant Regional Director
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 appreciation for the cooperation
received.

Note:
A current report on occupational earnings and supplementary wage provisions in
the Syracuse area is available for the moving and storage industries. A lso available are
listings of union wage rates for building trades, printing trades, local-tran sit operating
employees, local truckdrivers and helpers, and grocery store em ployees. Free copies of
these are available from the Bureau's regional offices.
(See back cover for addresses.)

Introduction
This area is 1 of 79 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.
A -series 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 powerplanh, and (d) custodial
and material movement. In the 31 largest survey areas, tables A -l a
through A -6a provide similar data for establishments employing 500
workers or more.
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 m easure of
wage trends eliminates changes in average earnings caused by em ploy­
ment shifts among establishments as well as turnover of establishments
included in survey samples. Where possible, data are presented for ail
industries, manufacturing, and nonmanufacturing. Appendix A discusses
this wage trend measure.

B -se r ie s tables
The B -se rie s tables present information on minimum entrance
salaries for office workers; late-sh ift 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-sh ift workers; paid
holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans.
Appendixes
This bulletin has two appendixes.
Appendix A describes the
methods and concepts used in the area wage survey program. It provides
information on the scope of the area survey and information on the area's
industrial composition in manufacturing.
It also provides information
on labor-management agreement coverage.
Appendix B provides job
descriptions used by Bureau field economists to classify workers in
occupations for which straight-tim e earnings information is presented.

Footnotes
A ll of these standard footnotes may not apply to this bulletin.

1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for overtime
at regular and/or premium rates), and the earnings correspond to these weekly hours.
2 The mean is computed for each job by totaling the earnings of all workers and dividing by the number of workers. The median
designates position— half of the employees surveyed receive more and half receive less than the rate shown. The middle range is defined
by two rates of pay; a fourth of the workers earn less than the lower of these rates and a fourth earn more than the higher rate.
3 Excludes premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late shifts.
4 These salaries relate to formally established minimum starting (hiring) regular straight-tim e salaries that are paid for standard
workwe eks.
5 Excludes workers in subclerical jobs such as m essenger.
6 Data are presented for all standard workweeks combined, and for the most common standard workweeks reported.
7 Includes all plant workers in establishments currently operating late shifts, and establishments whose formal provisions cover late
shifts, even though the establishments were not currently operating late shifts.
8 L ess than 0.05 percent.
9 Less than 0.5 percent.
10 For purposes of this study, pay for a Sunday in December, negotiated in the automobile industry, is not treated as a paid holiday.
11 A ll combinations of full and half days that add to the same amount are combined; for example, the proportion of workers receiving
a total of 9 days includes those with 9 full days and no half days, 8 full days and 2 half days, 7 full days and 4 half days, and so on.
Proportions then were cumulated.
12 A Christm as—New Year holiday period is an unbroken series of holidays which includes Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Y ear's
Eve, and New Y ea r's Day.
Such a holiday period is common in the automobile, aerospace, and farm implement industries.
13 "F lo atin g " holidays vary from year to year according to employer or employee choice.
14 Includes payments other than "length of t im e ," such as percentage of annual earnings or flat-sum payments, converted to an
equivalent time b a sis; for example, 2 percent of annual earnings was considered as 1 week's pay. Periods of service are chosen arbitrarily
and do not n ecessarily reflect individual provisions for progression; for example, changes in proportions at 10 years include changes between
5 and 10 years. Estim ates are cumulative. Thus, the proportion eligible for at least 3 weeks' pay after 10 years includes those eligible for
at least 3 weeks' pay after fewer years of service.
15 Estim ates listed after type of benefit are for all plans for which at least a part of the cost is borne by the employer. "Noncontributory
plans" include only those financed entirely by the employer. Excluded are legally required plans, such as workmen's compensation, social
security, and railroad retirement.
16 Unduplicated total of workers receiving sick leave or sickness and accident insurance shown separately below. Sick leave plans are
limited to those which definitely establish at least the minimum number of days' pay that each employee can expect. Informal sick leave
allowances determined on an individual basis are excluded.

1 An establishment was considered as having a policy if it met either of the following conditions: (1) Operated lateshifts at the time of the
survey, or (2) had formal provisions covering late shifts.
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.

^ The temporary disability laws in California and Rhode Island do not require employer contributions.
® An establishment is considered as having a formal plan if it established at least the minimum number of days sick leave available to each
employee.
Such a plan need not be written; but informal sick leave allowances, determined on an individual basis, are excluded.
