Preface

The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual
occupational wage surveys in metropolitan areas is d e­
signed to provide data on occupational earnings, and estab­
lishment practices and supplementary wage provisions. It
yields detailed data by selected industry division for each
of the areas studied, for geographic regions, and for the
United States. A m ajor consideration in the program is
the need for greater insight into (1) the movement of wages
by occupational category and skill level, and (2) the struc­
ture and level of wages among areas and industry divisions.

Introduction-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the end of each survey, an individual area bul­
letin presents survey results for each area studied. After
completion of all of the individual area bulletins for a round
of surveys, a two-part summary bulletin is issued. The
first part brings data for each of the metropolitan areas
studied into one bulletin. The second part presents infor­
mation which has been projected from individual m etro­
politan area data to relate to geographic regions and the
United States.

Ninety areas currently are included in the p ro­
gram. In each area, information on occupational earnings
is collected annually and on establishment practices and
supplementary wage provisions biennially.
This bulletin presents results of the survey in
Utica—
Rome, N.Y. in July 1968, conducted under a contract
with the New York State Department of Labor. The Stand­
ard Metropolitan Statistical A rea, as defined by the Bureau
of the Budget through January 1968, consists of Herkimer
and Oneida Counties. This study was conducted by the
Bureau's regional office in New York, N. Y. , Herbert
Bienstock, D irector.
The study was under the general
direction of Thomas N. Wakin, Assistant Regional D irector
for Operations.

Area Wage Survey----The Utica—Rome, N.Y. Metropolitan Area
Introduction
This area is 1 of 90 in which the U.S. Department of L a b o r 's
Bureau of L abor S tatistics conducts su rveys of occupational earnings
and related benefits on an areaw ide b a s is .1 In this a re a , data w ere
obtained by p erson a l v isits of Bureau field econ om ists to r e p re se n t­
ative establishm ents within six broad industry d iv isio n s: Manu­
facturing; tran sp orta tion , com m unication, and other public u tilities;
w h olesale trad e; reta il trade; finan ce, in su ran ce, and rea l estate; and
s e r v ic e s . M ajor industry groups excluded fro m these studies are
governm ent operation s and the con stru ction and ex tra ctive in du stries.
E stablishm ents having few er than a p r e s c r ib e d number of w ork ers are
om itted becau se they tend to furnish insufficient em ploym ent in the
occupati.ons studied to w arrant in clu sion . Separate tabulations are
provided fo r each of the broad industry d ivision s which m eet p u bli­
cation cr ite r ia .

O ccupational em ploym ent and earnings data are shown for
fu ll-tim e w o r k e r s, i.e ., those hired to w ork a regular w eekly schedule
in the given occupational cla ss ifica tio n . Earnings data exclude p r e ­
m ium pay fo r ov ertim e and for w ork on w eekends, h olid ay s, and
late sh ifts. N onproduction bonuses are exclu ded, but c o s t-o f-liv in g
allow ances and incentive earnings are included. W here w eekly hours
are re p orted , as fo r o ffice c le r ic a l occu p ation s, re fe re n ce is to the
standard w orkw eek (rounded to the n earest half hour) fpr which e m ­
ployees re c e iv e their regular straigh t-tim e sa la ries (exclu siv e of pay
fo r ov ertim e at regu lar a n d /o r prem ium ra tes). A verage w eekly ea rn ­
ings fo r these occupations have been rounded to the n earest half d olla r.
The a verages presen ted r e fle ct com p osite, areaw ide e s ti­
m ates. Industries and establishm ents d iffer in pay lev el and job
staffing and, thus, contribute d ifferen tly to the estim ates for each job .
The pay relation sh ip obtainable from the averages may fail to refle ct
a ccu ra tely the wage spread or differen tial maintained among jo b s in
individual establish m en ts. S im ila rly , d ifferen ces in average pay le v ­
els for men and wom en in any of the selected occupations should
not be assum ed to r e fle c t d ifferen ces in pay treatm ent of the sexes
within individual establish m en ts. Other p ossib le fa cto rs w hich may
contribute to d iffe re n ce s in pay fo r men and w om en include: D iffe r ­
en ces in p r o g r e s s io n within establish ed rate ran ges, sin ce only the
actual rates paid incumbents are collected ; and d ifferen ces in sp e cific
duties p e rfo rm e d , although the w ork ers are cla ss ifie d appropriately
within the sam e su rvey jo b d escrip tion . Job d escrip tion s used in
cla ssify in g em p loyees in these surveys are usually m ore gen eralized
than those used in individual establishm ents and allow fo r m inor
d iffe re n ce s among establishm ents in the sp e cific duties p erform ed .

T hese surveys are conducted on a sam ple basis becau se of
the u n n ecessary cost involved in surveying all establish m en ts. To
obtain optim um a ccu ra cy at m inim um c o s t, a grea ter p rop ortion of
large than of sm all establishm ents is studied. In com bining the data,
h ow ev er, all establishm ents are given th eir appropriate weight. E s ­
tim ates based on the establishm ents studied are p resen ted , th e r e fo r e ,
as relating to all establishm ents in the industry grouping and area ,
except fo r those below the m inim um size studied.
O ccupations and E arnings
The occupations se le cte d fo r study are com m on to a v a riety
of m anufacturing and nonmanufacturing in d u stries, and are of the
follow ing types: (1) O ffice c le r ic a l; (2) p ro fe ssio n a l and tech n ica l;
(3) maintenance and pow erplant; and (4) custodial and m a teria l m o v e ­
ment. O ccupational c la s s ifica tio n is based on a u niform set of job
d escrip tion s designed to take account of inter establishm ent variation
in duties within the sam e jo b .
The occupations se le cte d fo r study
are listed and d escrib e d in the appendix. The earnings data follow in g
the job titles are fo r all industries com bined. E arnings data fo r som e
of the occupations listed and d e s c r ib e d , or fo r som e industry division s
within occu p ation s, are not p resen ted in the A -s e r ie s ta b le s, becau se
either (1) em ploym ent in the occupation is too sm all to provid e enough
data to m erit p resen tation, or (2) th ere is p o ssib ility of d isclo su re
of individual establishm ent data.

O ccupational em ploym ent estim ates rep resen t the total in
all establishm ents within the scop e of the study and not the number
actually su rveyed. B ecause of d ifferen ces in occupational structure
among establish m en ts, the estim ates of occupational em ploym ent o b ­
tained fr o m the sam ple of establishm ents studied serve only to indicate
the rela tive im portance of the jo b s studied. These d iffe re n ce s in
occupational stru ctu re do not affect m a teria lly the a ccu ra cy of the
earnings data.
Establishm ent P r a c tic e s and Supplem entary Wage P rov ision s

Included in the 90 areas are four studies conducted under contract w ith the New Yoric State
D epartm ent of Labor. These areas are Bingham ton (New York portion only); Rochester (office occu­
pations only); Syracuse; and U tica—Rom e. In addition, the Bureau conducts more lim ite d area studies
in 91 areas at the request of the W age and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions of the U. S. D e­
partm ent of Labor.

Inform ation is p resen ted (in the B -s e r ie s tables) on selected
establishm ent p r a c tic e s and supplem entary wage p rov ision s as they
relate to plant and o ffic e w o rk e rs. A dm in istrative, execu tive, and
p ro fe ssio n a l em p lo y e e s, and con stru ction w ork ers who are utilized
as a separate w ork fo r c e are excluded. "P lan t w o rk e rs " include

2
working forem en and all n on su p erv isory w ork ers (including lea d m en and trainees) engaged in n on office functions. "O ffic e w o rk e rs"
include working s u p e rv iso rs and n on su p erv isory w ork ers p erform in g
c le r ic a l or related functions. C afeteria w o rk e rs and routem en are
excluded in manufacturing in d u stries, but included in nonmanufacturing
in du stries.
M inimum entrance sa la rie s fo r w om en o ffice w o rk e rs (table
B - l ) relate only to the establishm ents v isited . B ecause of the optimum
sam pling techniques used, and the p rob a b ility that large esta b lish ­
m ents are m ore lik ely to have fo rm a l entrance rates fo r w ork ers
above the su b c le r ic a l le v e l than sm all establish m en ts, the table is
m o re -re p re s e n ta tiv e of p o lic ie s in m edium and large establish m en ts.
Shift differen tia l data (table B -2) are lim ited to plant w ork ers
in m anufacturing in d u stries. This inform ation is p resen ted both in
term s of (1) establishm ent p o licy , presen ted in term s of total plant
w ork er em ploym ent, and (2) e ffe ctiv e p r a c tic e , presen ted in term s
of w ork ers actually em ployed on the s p e cifie d shift at the tim e of the
su rvey. In establishm ents having v a rie d d iffe re n tia ls, the amount
applying to a m a jo rity was used o r , if no amount applied to a m a jo rity ,
the cla ss ific a tio n "o th e r " was used. In establishm ents in which som e
la te -sh ift hours are paid at n orm al ra tes, a differen tial was r e co rd e d
only if it applied to a m a jo rity of the shift h ours.
The scheduled w eekly hours (table B -3) of a m a jo rity of the
fir s t-s h ift w o rk e rs in an establishm ent are tabulated as applying to
all of the plant or o ffic e w o rk e rs of that establishm ent. Scheduled
w eek ly hours are th ose w hich fu ll-tim e em p loyees w ere expected to
w ork , whether they w ere paid fo r at stra ig h t-tim e or ov ertim e rates.
Paid h olidays; paid va ca tion s; health, in su ran ce, and pension
plans; and prem iu m pay fo r ov ertim e w ork (tables B -4 through B -7)
are treated sta tistica lly on the b a sis that these are applicable to all
plant or o ffice w o rk e rs if a m a jo rity of such w ork ers are elig ib le or
m ay eventually qualify for the p ra ctice s listed. Sums of individual
item s in tables B -2 through B -7 m ay not equal totals becau se of
rounding.
Data on paid holidays (table B -4 ) are lim ited to data on h o li­
days granted annually on a fo rm a l b a s is ; i.e ., (1) are p rovid ed for
in w ritten fo r m , or (2) have been established by cu stom . Holidays
ord in a rily granted are included even though they m ay fa ll on a non­
w orkday and the w o rk e r is not granted another day off. The fir s t

part of the paid holidays table p resen ts the number of whole and half
holidays actually granted. The secon d part com bines whole and half
holidays to show total holiday tim e .
The sum m ary of vacation plans (table B -5) is lim ited to a
sta tistica l m easu re of vacation p ro v isio n s. It is not intended as a
m easu re o f the p ro p o rtion of w ork ers actually receiv in g sp e cific b en e­
fits. P ro v isio n s of an establishm ent for all lengths of s e r v ic e w ere
tabulated as applying to all plant or o ffice w ork ers of the e sta b lish ­
m ent, re g a rd le ss of length of s e r v ic e . P ro v isio n s fo r payment on
other than a tim e b a sis w ere con verted to a tim e b a sis; fo r exam p le,
a payment of 2 p ercen t of annual earnings was con sid ered as the equ iv­
alent of 1 w e ek 's pay. E stim ates exclude vacation -savin g s plans and
those which o ffe r "exten d ed " or "sa b b a tica l" ben efits beyond b a sic
plans to w o rk e rs with qualifying lengths of s e r v ic e . T yp ical of such
exclu sion s are plans in the steel, aluminum , and can in d u stries.
Data on health, in su ran ce, and pension plans (table B -6) in ­
clude those plans fo r which the em p loyer pays at least a part of the
co st. Such plans include those underw ritten by a co m m e rcia l insurance
com pany and those p rovid ed through a union fund or paid d ire ctly by
the em p loyer out of cu rren t operating funds or fro m a fund set aside
fo r this p u rp ose. An establishm ent was con sid ered to have a plan
if the m a jo rity of em p loyees was elig ib le to be cov ered under the
plan, even if le s s than a m a jority elected to p articipate because e m ­
p loyees w ere req u ired to contribute tow ard the cost of the plan. L e ­
gally req u ired plan s, such as w ork m en 's com pen sation, so cia l s e ­
cu rity , and ra ilro a d retirem en t w ere excluded.
S ickn ess and acciden t insurance is lim ited to that type of
insurance under which p red eterm in ed cash paym ents are made d ire ctly
to the insured during illn ess or accident disability. Inform ation is
presen ted fo r all such plans to which the em p loyer con tribu tes. How­
e v e r , in New Y ork and New J e rs e y , which have enacted tem p ora ry
d isa b ility insurance laws which requ ire em p loyer co n trib u tio n s,3 plans
are included only if the em p loyer (1) contributes m ore than is leg a lly
re q u ired , or (2) p rov id es the em ployee with benefits which exceed the
requ irem en ts of the law. Tabulations of paid sick leave plans are
lim ited to fo rm a l plans 4 which provid e full pay or a p rop ortion of the
w o r k e r 's pay during absen ce fro m w ork becau se of illn e s s . Separate
tabulations are presen ted accord in g to (1) plans which provide full pay
and no waiting p e rio d , and (2) plans w hich provid e either partial pay
or a waiting p e rio d . In addition to the p resen tation of the p rop ortion s
of w o rk e rs who are p rovid ed sick n ess and accident insurance or paid

rate stru ctu re, the qualifications of the individual w ork er determ ine
the pay rate. Inform ation on types of incentive plans is provid ed only
for plant w ork ers becau se of the low in ciden ce of such plans for o ffice
w o r k e r s . Under a p iecew ork sy stem , a pred eterm in ed rate is paid
