The Bureau of Labor Statistics program of annual
occupational wage surveys in metropolitan areas is de
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.

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
information which has been projected from individual m et

Area Wage Survey
The Waterloo, Iowa, Metropolitan Area
Introduction
Occupational employment and earnings data are shown for
fu ll-tim e workers, i.e ., those hired to work a regular weekly schedule
in the given occupational classification. Earnings data exclude pre
mium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and late
shifts. Nonproduction bonuses are excluded, but cost-of-livin g allow
ances and incentive earnings are included. Where weekly hours are
reported, as for office clerical occupations, reference is to the stand
ard workweek (rounded to the nearest half hour) for which employees
receive their regular straight-tim e salaries (exclusive of pay for
overtime at regular and/or premium rates). Average weekly earnings
for these occupations have been rounded to the nearest half dollar.
This area is 1 of 86 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.
This bulletin presents current occupational employment and
earnings information obtained largely by mail from the establishments
visited by Bureau field economists in the last previous survey for
occupations reported in that earlier study. Personal visits were made
to nonrespondents and to those respondents reporting unusual changes
since the previous survey.
In each area, data are obtained from representative estab
lishments within six broad industry divisions: Manufacturing; trans
portation, 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 opera
tions and the construction and extractive industries. Establishments
having fewer than a prescribed number of workers are omitted because
they tend to furnish insufficient employment in the occupations studied
to warrant inclusion. Separate tabulations are provided for each of the
broad industry divisions which meet publication criteria.
The averages presented reflect composite, areawide esti
m ates.
Industries and establishments differ in pay level and job
staffing and, thus, contribute differently to the estimates for each job.
The pay relationship obtainable from the averages may fail to reflect
accurately the wage spread or differential maintained among jobs in
individual establishments. Sim ilarly, differences in average pay levels
for men and women in any of the selected occupations should not be
assumed to reflect differences in pay treatment of the sexes within
individual establishments. Other possible factors which may contrib
ute to differences in pay for men and women include: Differences in
progression within established rate ranges, since only the actual rates
paid incumbents are collected; and differences in specific duties per
formed, although the workers are classified appropriately within the
same survey job description. Job descriptions used in classifying em
ployees in these surveys are usually more generalized than those used
in individual establishments and allow for minor differences among
establishments in the specific duties performed.
These surveys are conducted on a sample basis because of
the unnecessary cost involved in surveying all establishments.
To
obtain optimum accuracy at minimum cost, a greater proportion of
large than of small establishments is studied. In combining the data,
however, all establishments are given their appropriate weight. E s
timates based on the establishments studied are presented, therefore,
as relating to all establishments in the industry grouping and area,
except for those below the minimum size studied.
Occupational employment estim ates represent the total in all
establishments within the scope of the study and not the number ac
tually surveyed.
Because of differences in occupational structure
among establishments, the estimates of occupational employment ob
tained from the sample of establishments studied serve only to indicate
the relative importance of the jobs studied. These differences in occu
pational structure do not affect m aterially the accuracy of the earn
ings data.
Occupations and Earnings
The occupations selected for study are common to a variety of
manufacturing and nonmanufacturing industries, and are of the follow
ing types: (1) Office clerical; (2) professional and technical; (3) main
tenance and powerplant; and (4) custodial and material movement. O c
cupational classification is based on a uniform set of job descriptions
designed to take account of interestablishment variation in duties within
the same job. The occupations selected for study are listed and de
scribed in the appendix. 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 occupations,
are not presented in the A -s e r ie s tables because either (1) employ
ment in the occupation is too small to provide enough data to merit
presentation, or (2) there is possibility of disclosure of individual e s
tablishment data.
Establishment Practices and Supplementary Wage Provisions
Tabulations on selected establishment practices and supple
mentary wage provisions (B -se r ie s tables) are not presented in this
bulletin.
Information for these tabulations is collected biennially.
These tabulations on minimum entrance salaries for inexperienced
women office workers; shift differentials; scheduled weekly hours; paid
holidays; paid vacations; and health, insurance, and pension plans are
presented (in the B -s e r ie s tables) in previous bulletins for this area.

1 The Waterloo Standard M etropolitan Statistical A rea , as defined by the Bureau of the Budget through April 1967, consists of Black Hawk County.
The "w o rk ers within scope of study" estim ates shown in this table provide a reasonably accurate description of the size and com position of the labor
force included in the su rvey. The estim ates are not intended, how ever, to serve as a b asis of comparison with other em ployment indexes for the area
to m easure em ployment trends or le vels since ( 1) planning of wage su rveys requires the use of establishment data compiled considerably in advance of
the payroll period studied, and ( 2) sm all establishm ents are excluded from the scope of the survey.
2 The 1967 edition of the Standard Industrial C lassification Manual was used in classifying establishm ents by industry d ivision.
3 Includes all establishm ents with total em ployment at or above the m inimum lim itation. All outlets (within the area) of companies in such indus
trie s as trade, finance, auto repair serv ic e, and motion picture theaters are considered as 1 establishm ent.
4 Includes all w orkers in all establishm ents with total em ployment (within the area ) at or above the minimum lim itation.
5 Taxicabs and ser v ic es incidental to water transportation w ere excluded.
6 This industry division is represented in estim ates for "a ll in d u strie s" and "nonm anufacturing" in the Series A tables. Separate presentation of
data for this division is not made for one or m ore of the following reason s: (l) Employment in the division is too sm all to provide enough data to
m erit separate study, ( 2) the sam ple was not designed initially to perm it separate presentation, (3) response was insufficient or inadequate to p erm it
separate presentation, and (4) there is p ossibility of d isclosu re of individual establishm ent data.
7 H otels and m o te ls; laundries and other personal s e r v ic e s ; business se r v ic e s; autom obile repair, rental, and parking; motion p ictu res; nonprofit
m em bership organizations (excluding religious and charitable organizations); and engineering and architectural se r v ic e s.
Over three-fou rth s of the w orkers within scope of the survey in the Waterloo area
w ere employed in manufacturing fir m s .
The following table presents the m ajor industry
groups and specific industries as a percent of all manufacturing:

Wage Trends for Selected Occupational Groups
Presented in table 2 are indexes and percentages of change
in average salaries of office clerical workers and industrial nurses,
and in average earnings of selected plant worker groups. The indexes
are a measure of wages at a given time, expressed as a percent of
wages during the base period (date of the area survey conducted
between July I960 and June 1961).
Subtracting 100 from the index
yields the percentage change in wages from the base period to the
date of the index.
The percentages of change or increase relate to
wage changes between the indicated dates.
These estimates are
m easures of change in averages for the area; they are not intended
to m easure average pay changes in the establishments in the area.
Method of Computing
in the occupational group. These constant weights reflect base year
employments wherever possible.
The average (mean) earnings for
each occupation were multiplied by the occupational weight, and the
products for all occupations in the group were totaled. The aggregates
for 2 consecutive years were related by dividing the aggregate for
the later year by the aggregate for the earlier year. The resultant
relative, less 100 percent, shows the percentage change. The index
is the product of multiplying the base year relative (100) by the relative
for the next succeeding year and continuing to multiply (compound)
each year's relative by the previous year's index. Average earnings
for the following occupations were used in computing the wage trends:
Each of the selected key occupations within an occupational
group was assigned a weight based on its proportionate employment

For office clerical workers and industrial nurses, the wage
trends relate to regular weekly salaries for the normal workweek,
exclusive of earnings for overtime. For plant worker groups, they
measure changes in average straight-tim e hourly earnings, excluding
premium pay for overtime and for work on weekends, holidays, and
late shifts. The percentages are based on data for selected key occu
pations and include most of the numerically important jobs within
each group.
Changes in the labor force can cause increases or decreases in the
occupational averages without actual wage changes. It is conceivable
that even though all establishments in an area gave wage increases,
average wages may have declined because lower paying establishments
entered the area or expanded their work fo rces. Sim ilarly, wages
may have remained relatively constant, yet the averages for an area
may have risen considerably because higher paying establishments
entered the area.
Limitations of Data
The indexes and percentages of change, as m easures of
change in area averages, are influenced by: (1) general salary and
wage changes, (2) m erit or other increases in pay received by indi
vidual workers while in the same job, and (3) changes in average
wages due to changes in the labor force resulting from labor turn
over, force expansions, force reductions, and changes in the propor
tions of workers employed by establishments with different pay levels.
The use of constant employment weights eliminates the effect
of changes in the proportion of workers represented in each job in
cluded in the data. The percentages of change reflect only changes
in average pay for straight-tim e hours.
They are not influenced by
changes in standard work schedules, as such, or by premium pay
for overtime. Where necessary, data were adjusted to remove from
the indexes and percentages of change any significant effect caused
by changes in the scope of the survey.

Appendix. Occupational D escriptions
The primary purpose of preparing job descriptions for the Bureau's wage surveys is to assist its field
staff in classifying into appropriate occupations workers who are employed under a variety of payroll titles
and different work arrangements from establishment to establishment and from area to area. This permits
the grouping of occupational wage rates representing comparable job content. Because o f this emphasis on
interestablishment and interarea comparability o f 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; beginners; trainees; and handicapped, part-time, temporary, and probationary workers.
