AREA WAGE SURVEY
Tampa—St. Petersburg, Florida, Metropolitan Area,
August 1972
Bulletin 1775 9
U S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
____ Bureau of Labor Statistics
Preface
This bulletin provides results of an August 1972 survey of occupational
earnings in the Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida, Standard Metropolitan Statistical
Area (Hillsborough and Pinellas 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 Areas in the United States,
excluding Alaska and Hawaii, (as defined by the U. S. Office of Management and
Budget through November 1971).
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 (l) 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, 96 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 bene
fits, collected every second year in the past, is now obtained every third year.
Each year after all individual area wage surveys have been completed,
two summary 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 Tampa—
St. Petersburg survey was conducted by the Bureau's re
gional office in Atlanta, Ga. , under the general direction of Donald M. Cruse,
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 information in this bulletin. The
Bureau wishes to express sincere appreciation for the cooperation received.
Note:
Also available for the Tampa—
St. Petersburg area are listings of union
wage rates for building trades, printing trades, local-transit operating employees,
local truckdrivers and helpers, and grocery store employees.
Free copies
of these are available from the Bureau's regional offices. (See back cover
for addresses.)

O ccupational c la s s ific a tio n is based on a u niform set of job

in duties within the sam e job . The occupations s elec ted for study are
listed and d e sc rib e d in the appendix. U n less o th erw ise in dicated, the
earnings data follow ing the job title s are for a ll in d u stries com bined.
E a rn in g s data fo r so m e of the occupations liste d and d e s c rib e d , or

E arn in gs data exclude p rem iu m pay for o v e r tim e and for w ork on

A v e ra g e w eek ly earnings fo r these occupations are rounded
to the n e a re st h alf d o lla r.
T h e se su rvey s are conducted on a sa m p le b a s is . The s a m
pling p ro ce d u res involve detailed stra tifica tio n of a ll e sta b lish m en ts
within the scope of an individual a re a su rvey by industry and num ber
of e m p lo y e e s. F r o m this stra tified u n ive rse a probab ility sam p le is
se le c te d , with each esta b lish m en t having a p red eterm in ed chance of
s e le c tio n . To obtain optim um a cc u ra c y at m in im u m c o s t , a g re a ter
p roportion of la rg e than s m a ll e sta b lish m en ts is selec ted . W hen data
are com b in ed , each esta b lish m en t is w eighted according to its p ro b a
b ility of s elec tio n , so that unbiased e stim a te s are gen erated . F o r e x
a m p le , if one out o f four e sta b lish m en ts is se le c te d , it is given a
weight of fou r to rep rese n t its e lf plus three o th ers. An alternate of the
sa m e o rig in a l pro ba b ility is chosen in the sa m e in d u s tr y -s iz e c la s s i f i

If
no suitable substitute is a v a ila b le , additional weight is a ssig n ed to a
sa m p le m e m b e r that is s im ila r to the m is s in g unit.
The occupations se le c te d fo r study a re com m on to a v a riety
of m anufacturing and nonm anufacturing in d u strie s, and are of the
follow ing ty p e s:
(l) O ffic e c le r ic a l; (2) p r o fe ssio n a l and tech n ica l;
T h ese su rvey s m e a s u re the le v e l of occupational earnings in
an a rea at a p a rtic u la r tim e . C o m p a riso n s of individual occupational
a vera ge s o ver tim e m ay not r e fle c t expected w age changes. The a v e r
ages for individual job s are affected by changes in w ages and e m p lo y
m ent p a ttern s.
F o r ex a m p le, proportion s of w o rk e rs em ployed by
h ig h - or lo w -w a ge fir m s m ay change o r h igh -w a ge w o rk e rs m ay ad
vance to b etter jo b s and be replaced by new w o rk ers at low er ra te s.
Such sh ifts in em p loym en t could d e c r e a s e an occupational average
even though m o st e sta b lish m en ts in an a re a in c re a s e w ages during
the y ea r. T ren d s in earnings of occupational g ro u p s, shown in table 2,
are b etter in d icators of wage tren ds than individual job s within the

1 Included in the 96 areas are 10 studies conducted by the Bureau under contract.
These areas
are Austin, T e x .; Binghamton, N. Y. (New York portion only); Durham, N. C. ; Fort Lauderdale—
Hollywood and West Palm Beach, Fla.; Huntsville, A la .; Lexington, K y .; Poughkeepsie—
Kingston—
Newburgh, N. Y. ; Rochester, N. Y. (office occupations only); Syracuse, N. Y. ; and Utica—Rome, 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.
A v era g e earnings reflec t c o m p o site , areaw ide e s tim a te s . In
d u strie s and esta b lish m en ts differ in pay le v e l and job staffin g, and
thus contribute d iffe re n tly to the e s tim a te s fo r each job . P ay a v e r

1 Standard hours reflect the workweek for which employees receive their regular straight-time 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 than the rate shown; half receive less than the rate shown, The middle
range is defined by 2 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.
